PART I

Nobility Homes, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated in 1967, designs, manufactures and sells a broad line of manufactured and modular homes through a network of its own retail sales centers throughout Florida. Nobility also sells its manufactured homes on a wholesale basis to independent manufactured home retail dealers and manufactured home communities.

Manufactured Homes

Nobility’s homes are available in approximately 100 active models sold under the trade names “Kingswood,” “Springwood,” “Springwood Special,” “Tropic Isle Special,” “Regency Manor Special,” and “Special Edition.” The homes, ranging in size from 700 to 2,650 square feet and containing from one to five bedrooms, are available in:

Nobility’s homes are sold primarily as unfurnished dwellings ready for permanent occupancy. Interiors are designed and color coordinated in a range of decors. Depending on the size of the unit and quality of appliances and other appointments, retail prices for Nobility’s homes typically range from approximately $30,000 to $100,000. Most of the prices of Nobility’s homes are considered by it to be within the low to medium price range of the industry.

Nobility’s manufacturing plant utilizes assembly line techniques in manufactured home production. The plant manufactures and assembles the floors, sidewalls, end walls, roofs and interior cabinets for their homes. Nobility purchases, from outside suppliers, various other components that are built into its homes including the axles, frames, tires, doors, windows, pre-finished sidings, plywood, ceiling panels, lumber, rafters, insulation, gypsum board, appliances, lighting and plumbing fixtures, carpeting and drapes. Nobility is not dependent upon any one particular supplier for its raw materials or component parts, and is not required to carry significant amounts of inventory to assure itself of a continuous allotment of goods from suppliers.

Nobility’s Ocala manufacturing plant operated at an average of approximately 14% of their single shift capacity in fiscal year 2010 and 8% in fiscal year 2009. The Belleview plant closed in 2009 and operations were consolidated with the Ocala plant.

Nobility generally does not manufacture its homes to be held by it as inventory (except for model home inventory of its wholly-owned retail network subsidiary, Prestige Home Centers, Inc.), but, rather, manufactures its homes after receipt of orders. Although Nobility attempts to maintain a consistent level of production of homes throughout the fiscal year, seasonal fluctuations do occur, with sales of homes generally lower during the first fiscal quarter due to the holiday season.

The sales area for a manufactured home manufacturer is limited by substantial delivery costs of the finished product. Nobility’s homes are delivered by outside trucking companies. Nobility estimates that it can compete effectively within a range of approximately 350 miles from its manufacturing plant. During the last two fiscal years, substantially all of Nobility’s sales were made in Florida.

Retail Sales

Prestige Home Centers, Inc. operates 12 retail sales centers in north and central Florida. Its principal executive offices are located at Nobility’s headquarters in Ocala, Florida. Sales by Prestige accounted for 89% and 88% of Nobility’s sales during fiscal year 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Each of Prestige’s retail sales centers is located within 350 miles of Nobility’s manufacturing facility. Prestige owns the land at five of its retail sales centers and leases the remaining 7 retail sales centers from unaffiliated parties under leases with terms between one and three years with renewal options.

The primary customers of Prestige are homebuyers who generally purchase manufactured homes to place on their own home sites. Prestige operates its retail sales centers with a model home concept. Each of the homes displayed at its retail sales centers is furnished and decorated as a model home. Although the model homes may be purchased from Prestige’s model home inventory, generally, customers order homes which are shipped directly from the factory to their home site. Prestige sales generally are to purchasers living within a radius of approximately 100 miles from the selling retail lot.

Prestige does not itself finance customers’ new home purchases, but since 1997, Nobility has partnered with 21^st Mortgage Corporation to provide financing to retail customers purchasing homes from Prestige. Additionally, financing for home purchases has historically been available from several other independent sources that specialize in manufactured housing lending and numerous banks that finance manufactured home purchases. However, such financing has not been readily available in recent years due to the downturn in the Florida housing market. Prestige and Nobility are not required to sign any recourse agreements with any of these retail financing sources, except 21^st Mortgage Corporation. As a condition to the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase homes from defaulted loans which were financed under the agreement. Upon disposition of the homes, the Company will receive a payment from the finance revenue sharing agreement reserve account, of no less than 25% and no more than 60% of the payoff of the loan, to cover the costs of the disposition of the homes. The Company believes that the revenue sharing agreement reserve account carried on the books of 21^st Mortgage Corporation which provides for the payments above more than offsets the fair value of any ASC 460 liability that might arise under the agreement. Due to the number of repurchased homes the Company has experienced in fiscal year 2010 and 2009 under the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has increased its inventory valuation reserve to $402,994 in 2010 from $300,000 in 2009 for potential losses associated with the refurbishing and reselling of the repurchased homes. Since 2004, Nobility has engaged in a finance revenue sharing arrangement between 21^st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige and Nobility’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Majestic Homes, Inc. without forming a separate entity. For more information about the revenue sharing arrangement, see Note 5 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”. In the future, Nobility may explore the possibility of underwriting its own mortgage loans.

In fiscal year 2008, the Company formed two limited liability companies called Nobility Parks I, LLC and Nobility Parks II, LLC to invest in new Florida retirement manufactured home communities. Nobility Parks I, LLC has invested in Walden Woods, III Ltd. (Walden Woods) located in Homosassa, Florida, and Nobility Parks II, LLC has invested in CRF III, Ltd. (Cypress Creek) located in Winter Haven, Florida. These investments will provide the Company with 31.9% of the earnings/losses of the 236 residential lots in Walden Woods and 48.5% of the earnings/losses of the 403 residential lots in Cypress Creek. See Note 5 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

The retail sale of manufactured homes is a highly competitive business. Because of the large number of retail sales centers located throughout Nobility’s market area, potential customers typically can find several sales centers within a 100 mile radius of their present home. Prestige competes with over 100 other retailers in its primary market area, some of which may have greater financial resources than Prestige. In addition, manufactured homes offered by Prestige compete with conventional site-built housing.

Insurance and Financial Services

Mountain Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Home Centers, Inc., is an independent insurance agent, licensed mortgage lender and mortgage broker. Its principal activity is providing retail insurance services, which involves placing various types of insurance, including property and casualty, automobile and extended home warranty coverage, with insurance underwriters on behalf of its Prestige customers in connection with their purchase and financing of manufactured homes. As agent, we solely assist our customers in obtaining various types of insurance and extended warranty coverage with insurance underwriters. As such, we have no agreements with homeowners and/or third party insurance companies other than agency agreements with various insurance carriers, which lead us to conclude that the Company has no material commitments or contingencies related to Mountain Financial, Inc. The Company provides 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 is deemed necessary for policy cancellations for fiscal years 2010 and 2009. Mountain Financial, Inc.’s insurance revenues were approximately $249,000 and $280,000 in fiscal year 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The construction lending operations provides financing to buyers who have been approved for financing by an independent third party who are purchasing a home through the Company’s retail sales centers. Such a loan provides the homeowner with enough money to pay for the land, land improvements, construction and installation of the home, impact fees and permits. The loan is disbursed in draws as construction progresses and is secured by a first mortgage on the land, home and all of the improvements. The term is typically for one year, with interest only payable monthly. There is also a finance charge which is added to the loan at closing. The construction loan is paid off when the homeowner closes on the permanent financing, typically a 30 year fixed mortgage. The construction lending operations revenues in fiscal year 2010 was approximately $81,000 compared to $62,000 in fiscal year 2009.

Mountain Financial acted as the warehouse lender for a mortgage lender who was financing two of Prestige retail customers in the amount of $193,445. The warehouse loan from Mountain would be repaid when the mortgage lender sold the loans to

a wholesale lender. The mortgage lender went out of business and never completed the sale of the loans. Mountain is in the process of selling the notes to a wholesale lender. The retail customers are currently making monthly payments to Mountain Financial.

Wholesale Sales to Manufactured Home Communities

Nobility currently sells its homes on a wholesale basis exclusively through two full-time salespersons to approximately 30 manufactured home communities. Nobility continues to seek new opportunities in the areas in which it operates, as there is ongoing turnover in the manufactured home communities as they achieve full occupancy levels. As is common in the industry, most of Nobility’s independent dealers sell homes produced by several manufacturers. No customer accounted for more than 10% of Nobility’s total sales in fiscal years 2010 or 2009. In fiscal year 2008, the Company invested as a limited partner in two new Florida retirement manufactured home communities. Management’s belief is that new attractive and affordable manufactured home communities for senior citizens will be a significant growth area for Florida in the future.

Dealers generally obtain inventory financing from financial institutions (usually banks and finance companies) on a “floor plan” basis where the financial institution obtains a security interest in all or part of the dealer’s manufactured home inventory. Nobility, from time-to-time, enters into repurchase agreements with the lending institutions which provide that, in the event of a dealer’s default, Nobility will, at the lender’s request, repurchase the home provided that Nobility’s liability will not exceed the manufacturer’s invoice price and that the repurchased home is new and unused. Generally, the repurchase agreement expires within 18 – 24 months after a home is sold to the dealer and the repurchase price is limited to between 70% to 100% of the original invoice price to the dealer depending on the length of time that has expired since the original sale. The repurchase is usually conditioned upon the dealer’s insolvency and presentation of the unit back to the Company. Any losses incurred as a result of such repurchases would be limited to the difference between the repurchase price and the subsequent resale value of the home repurchased. Nobility was not required to repurchase any homes during fiscal years 2010 and 2009. For additional information, see Note 15 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”. Nobility does not finance retail sales of new homes for customers of its independent dealers.

Nobility does not generally offer consigned inventory programs or other credit terms to its dealers and ordinarily receives payment for its homes within 15 to 30 days of delivery. However, Nobility may offer extended terms to unrelated park dealers who do a high volume of business with Nobility. In order to stimulate sales, Nobility sells homes for display to selected manufactured home communities on special terms. The high visibility of Nobility’s homes in such communities generates additional sales of its homes through such dealers.

Regulation

The manufacture, distribution and sale of homes is subject to governmental regulation at the federal, state and local levels. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has adopted national construction and safety standards that have priority over existing state standards. In addition, HUD regulations require that manufactured homes be constructed to more stringent wind load and thermal standards. Compliance with these standards involves approval by a HUD approved engineering firm of engineering plans and specifications on all models. HUD has also promulgated rules requiring producers of manufactured homes to utilize wood products certified by their suppliers to meet HUD’s established limits on formaldehyde emissions and to place in each home written notice to prospective purchasers of possible adverse reaction from airborne formaldehyde in homes. HUD’s standards also require periodic inspection by state or other third party inspectors of plant facilities and construction procedures, as well as inspection of manufactured home units during construction. In addition, some components of manufactured homes may also be subject to Consumer Product Safety Commission standards and recall requirements. Homes manufactured by Nobility are also required to comply with the standard building code established by the Florida Department of Community Affairs.

Nobility estimates that compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection laws will have no material effect upon capital expenditures for plant or equipment modifications or earnings for the next fiscal year.

The transportation of manufactured homes is subject to state regulation. Generally, special permits must be obtained to transport the home over public highways and restrictions are imposed to promote travel safety including those relating to routes, travel periods, speed limits, safety equipment and size.

Nobility’s homes are subject to the requirements of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and Federal Trade Commission rulings which regulate warranties on consumer products. Nobility provides a limited warranty of one year on the structural components of its homes.

Competition

The manufactured home industry is highly competitive. The initial investment required for entry into the business of manufacturing homes is not unduly large. State bonding requirements for entry in the business vary from state to state. The bond requirement for Florida is $50,000. Nobility competes directly with other manufacturers, some of whom are both considerably larger and possess greater financial resources than Nobility. Nobility estimates that of those 45 manufacturers selling in the state, approximately 15 manufacture homes of the same type as Nobility and compete in the same market area. Nobility believes that it is generally competitive with most of those manufacturers in terms of price, service, warranties and product performance.

According to statistics compiled by Statistical Surveys, Inc. from records on file with the State of Florida, Prestige has been one of the largest retail dealers of multi-section manufactured homes in Florida since 1994, based on number of home sales.

Employees

As of January 7, 2011, Nobility had 94 full-time employees, including 37 employed by Prestige. Approximately 32 employees are factory personnel compared to approximately 20 in such positions a year ago and 62 are in management, administrative, supervisory, sales and clerical positions (including 34 management and sales personnel employed by Prestige) compared to approximately 82 a year ago. In addition, Nobility employs part-time employees when necessary.

Nobility makes contributions toward employees’ group health and life insurance. Nobility, which is not subject to any collective bargaining agreements, has not experienced any work stoppage or labor disputes and considers its relationship with employees to be generally satisfactory.

As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

Certain claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company does not maintain casualty insurance on some of our property, including the inventory at our retail centers, our plant machinery and plant equipment and is at risk for those types of losses.

General

Nobility’s primary focus is homebuyers who generally purchase their manufactured homes from retail sales centers to locate on property they own. Nobility has aggressively pursued this market through its Prestige retail sales centers. While Nobility actively seeks to make wholesale sales to independent retail dealers, its presence as a competitor limits potential sales to dealers located in the same geographic areas serviced by its Prestige retail sales centers.

Nobility has also aggressively targeted the retirement community market, which is made up of retirees moving to Florida and typically purchasing homes to be located on sites leased from park communities offering a variety of amenities. Sales are not limited by the presence of the Company’s Prestige retail sales centers in this type of arrangement, as the retirement community sells homes only within their community.

Nobility has a product line of approximately 100 active models. Although market demand can fluctuate on a fairly short-term basis, the manufacturing process is such that Nobility can alter its product mix relatively quickly in response to changes in the market. During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, Nobility’s product mix was affected by the number of “Special Edition” homes marketed by Prestige and by consumer demand for smaller, less expensive homes. Most family buyer’s today purchase three-, four- or five-bedroom manufactured homes, compared with the two-bedroom home that typically appeals to the retirement buyers who reside in the manufactured housing communities.

Nobility’s joint venture and finance revenue sharing agreement with 21^st Mortgage Corporation provides mortgage financing to retail customers who purchase Nobility’s manufactured homes at Prestige retail sales centers. These agreements, under which loans are originated and serviced, have given Prestige more control over the financing aspect of the retail home sales process and allowed it to offer better services to its retail customers. Management believes that these agreements give Prestige an additional potential for profit by providing finance products to retail customers. In addition, management believes that Prestige has more input in the design of unique finance programs for prospective homebuyers, and that the joint venture has resulted in more profitable sales at its Prestige retail sales centers. For more information about the finance revenue sharing agreement, see Note 5 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”. In an effort to make manufactured homes more competitive with site-built housing, financing packages are available to provide (1) 30-year financing, (2) an interest rate reduction program, (3) combination land/manufactured home loans, and (4) a 5% down payment program for qualified buyers.

In December 2008, 21^st Mortgage Corporation advised the Company that 21^st Mortgage Corporation’s parent company had decided not to provide any additional funding for loan originations at that time. The Company owns a 50% interest in Majestic 21, a joint venture with 21^st Mortgage Corporation. The decision by the parent company of 21st Mortgage Corporation to not provide additional capital to support the lending operation required us to consider seeking capital from alternative sources. The Company has been able to sign dealer agreements with additional lenders who provide financing for our homes. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, Majestic 21 secured $5,000,000 in financing from a commercial bank. The Company guarantees 50% of this financing. Both of these additional sources of funding have been sufficient to fund our loan originations to date allowing us to fund loans without interruption. Subsequent to our 2009 fiscal year end, 21^st Mortgage Corporation announced that their parent company had agreed to provide additional capital to fund loan originations, which will be available when Majestic 21 has fully lent the proceeds from the $5,000,000 commercial loan.

Prestige also maintains several other outside financing sources that provide financing to retail homebuyers for its manufactured homes and the Company is in the process of developing relationships with new lenders. In the future, Nobility may explore the possibility of underwriting its own mortgage loans for non-21^st Mortgage loans.

Prestige’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mountain Financial, Inc., is an independent insurance agent, licensed mortgage lender and mortgage broker. Mountain Financial provides construction loans, mortgage brokerage services, automobile, extended warranty coverage and property and casualty insurance to Prestige customers in connection with their purchase and financing of manufactured homes.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the first Saturday on or after October 31. The year ended November 6, 2010 consisted of fifty-three week periods and year ended October 31, 2009 consisted of fifty-two week periods.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics and percent of gross profit as of and for fiscal years ended November 6, 2010 and October 31, 2009.

For fiscal years ended November 6, 2010 and October 31, 2009 results are as follows. Total net sales in fiscal year 2010 were $14,861,682 compared to $11,869,333 in fiscal year 2009.

Sales and operations for fiscal year 2010, although improved, continued to be adversely impacted by our country’s economic uncertainty and the low manufactured housing shipments in Florida, plus the overall weakness in Florida and the nation’s housing market. Industry shipments in Florida for the period November 2009 through October 2010 were up approximately 11% from the same period last year. Even though Nobility’s sales, gross profit as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved, the Company’s low sales volume made it difficult to report meaningful results for fiscal 2010. Continued lack of retail and wholesale financing, very high unemployment and home foreclosures, slow sales of existing site-built homes, low consumer confidence and a poor economic outlook for the U.S. and Florida’s economy are just a few of the on-going challenges the Company faced. While management has not seen decisive improvement in these challenges brought about by the tumultuous events of 2008 and 2009, some slight progress has emerged for the nation’s economy. Although the overall housing picture, credit market and economy have not improved measurably during the past year and the immediate outlook for the manufactured housing industry in Florida and the nation is uncertain, the long-term demographic trends still favor future growth in the Florida market area we serve. Job formation, immigration growth and migration trends, plus consumers returning to more affordable housing should favor Florida. The Baby Boomer generation began to turn 65 in January 2011 and by 2030 the number of Americans 65 and over is predicted to almost double. This trend coupled with the end of the free spending credit-driven years, Nobility’s 44 years in the Florida market, and consumers’ 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. For fiscal 2011, the country must experience a better economy with less uncertainty, improved sales in the existing home market, declining unemployment, continued low interest rates, improving credit markets, increased consumer confidence and more retail financing for the demand of our affordable homes to improve significantly. Management understands that during this very complex economic environment, maintaining the Company’s strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. Because of the poor business conditions in our market area and the lack of any clarity as to when today’s economic challenges will improve measurably, the Company will continue to evaluate Prestige’s twelve retail model centers in Florida, along with all expenses within the Company and react in a manner consistent with maintaining our financial position.

The Company invested as a limited partner in two new Florida retirement manufactured home communities in fiscal year 2008. Although these investments will report non-cash losses in the initial fill-up stage, management believes that the new attractive and affordable manufactured home communities for senior citizens will be a growth area for Florida in the future.

Nobility Homes, Inc. has specialized for 44 years in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes at its plant located in central Florida. With twelve Company retail sales centers, a finance company joint venture, an insurance subsidiary, and an investment in two new affordable retirement manufactured home communities, Nobility is the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

Insurance agent commissions in fiscal year 2010 were $248,624 compared to $279,972 in fiscal year 2009. The decline in insurance agent commissions resulted from a decline in new policies written and renewals. Prestige’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mountain Financial, Inc., is an independent insurance agent, licensed mortgage lender and mortgage broker. Its principal activity is the performance of retail insurance services, which involves placing various types of insurance, including property and casualty, automobile and extended home warranty coverage, with insurance underwriters on behalf of its Prestige customers in connection with their purchase and financing of manufactured homes. As agent, Mountain Financial assists our customers in obtaining various insurance and extended warranties coverage with insurance underwriters. As such, we have no agreements with homeowners and/or third party insurance companies other than agency agreements with various insurance carriers. Mountain Financial, Inc. has no material commitments or contingencies. 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 is deemed necessary for policy cancellations at November 6, 2010 and October 31, 2009.

The construction lending operations provide financing to buyers who have been approved for financing by an independent third party and who are purchasing a home through the Company’s retail sales centers. Such a loan provides the homeowner with enough money to pay for the land, land improvements, construction and installation of the home, impact fees and permits. The loan is disbursed in draws as construction progresses and is secured by a first mortgage on the land, home and all of the improvements. The term is typically for one year, with interest only payable monthly. There is also a finance charge which is added to the loan at closing. The construction loan is paid off when the homeowner closes on the permanent financing, typically a 30 year fixed mortgage. The revenues from the construction lending operations in fiscal year 2010 were $80,790 compared to $61,842 in fiscal year 2009.

Mountain Financial acted as the warehouse lender for a mortgage lender who was financing two of Prestige retail customers in the amount of $193,445. The warehouse loan from Mountain would be repaid when the mortgage lender sold the loans to a wholesale lender. The mortgage lender went out of business and never completed the sale of the loans. Mountain is in the process of selling the notes to a wholesale lender. The retail customers are currently making a monthly payment to Mountain Financial.

Cost of goods sold at our manufacturing facilities include: materials, direct and indirect labor and manufacturing expenses (which consists of factory occupancy, salary and salary related, delivery costs, mobile home service costs and other manufacturing expenses). Cost of goods sold at our retail sales centers include: appliances, air conditioners, electrical and plumbing hook-ups, furniture, insurance, impact and permit fees, land and home fees, manufactured home, service warranty, setup contractor, interior drywall finish, setup display, skirting, steps, well and septic tank and other expenses.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 20.3% in fiscal year 2010 compared to 19.8% in fiscal year 2009. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to increased sales at the Company’s manufacturing facilities and retail sales centers, although the reserve established for potential losses associated with the refurbishing and re-selling of the repossessions increased $102,994 to $402,994 for fiscal year 2010. The expenses to temporarily close the Belleview manufacturing facility (see Liquidity and Capital Resources) and transfer the raw materials to the Ocala manufacturing facility, the number of repossessions that the Company has experienced over the past fiscal year related to its finance revenue sharing agreement, the $300,000 inventory valuation reserve established for potential losses associated with the refurbishing and re-selling of the repossessions and the fixed overhead costs associated with the lower sales volume at the manufacturing facility and retail sales centers were the primary reason gross profit margins were lower in fiscal year 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses at our manufacturing facility include salaries, professional services, advertising and promotions, corporate expense, employee benefits, office equipment and supplies and utilities. Selling, general and administrative expenses at our retail sales center include: advertising, retail sales centers expenses, salary and salary related, professional fees, corporate expense, employee benefit, office equipment and supplies, utilities and travel. Selling, general and administrative expenses at the insurance company include: advertising, professional fees and office supplies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 26.0% in fiscal year 2010 compared to 38.6% in fiscal year 2009. In spite of closing three retail sales centers in fiscal year 2010 and the write-off of certain capitalized assets, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales declined due to the fixed expenses directly related to the increased sales at the Company’s manufacturing facilities and retail sales centers in fiscal year 2010. The higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales in fiscal year 2009 resulted from the fixed expenses directly related to the decreased sales at the Company’s manufacturing facilities and retail sales centers, the closing of three retail sales centers and the write-off of certain capitalized assets (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).

The Company earned $18,549 from its joint venture, Majestic 21, in fiscal year 2010 compared to $183,901 in fiscal year 2009. 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 primary assets are loans that were originated from 1997 until 2003. In 2003, the Company entered into a finance revenue sharing agreement with 21st Mortgage Corporation and all loans originated from that point forward, are owned by 21^st Mortgage Corporation pursuant to the finance revenue sharing agreement as further discussed below. Consequently, no additional loans are going into the Majestic 21 joint venture and the balance of the loans/assets of the partnership is declining each month due to amortization and payoffs.

In accordance with the Company’s finance revenue sharing agreement with 21^st Mortgage Corporation, the Company refers its customers to 21^st Mortgage Corporation for financing on manufactured homes sold through the Company’s retail sales centers. Under the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase from 21^st Mortgage Corporation any repossessed homes and related collateral that was financed under the agreement. The repurchase price is the remaining loan balance (plus 21^st Mortgage Corporation’s legal fees). If the loan included a mortgage on the land, the Company receives the land in addition to the home. If the loan only had the home as collateral, the Company only gets the home and is required to move it off the location where it was previously sited. After the Company re-sells the homes, the Company receives the full proceeds from the sale of the home, plus a reimbursement from 21^st Mortgage Corporation for liquidation expenses. The reimbursement covers the Company’s cost of transporting homes, repairing homes to resale condition, remarketing homes and other liquidation expenses. The Company and 21^st Mortgage Corporation have agreed that the reimbursement for: (a) a home only repurchase will not exceed 60% of the Company’s purchase price nor will it be less than 40% of the Company’s repurchase price; and (b) a home and land repurchase will not exceed 45% of the Company’s purchase price nor will it be less than 25% of the Company’s purchase price. “The Company believes that the revenue sharing agreement reserve account carried on the books of 21^st Mortgage Corporation which provides for the payments above more than offsets the fair value of any ASC 460 liability that might arise under the agreement.” Due to the number of repurchased homes the Company has experienced in fiscal year 2010 and 2009 under the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has increased its inventory valuation reserve to $402,994 in 2010 from $300,000 in 2009 for potential losses associated with the refurbishing and reselling of the repurchased homes. The Company is repurchasing the collateral consisting of either the home or home and land for the amount of the loan receivable (not including accrued interest) carried by 21^st Mortgage Corporation. The positive impact upon results of operations from the re-sale of the collateral for defaulted loans has been approximately $250,832 which includes commission income of $206,434 in fiscal year 2010 and $93,900 which includes commission income of $51,021 in fiscal year 2009. There were 28 re-sales during fiscal year 2010 and 7 re-sales in fiscal year 2009.

The Company earned $157,700 for fiscal year 2009 from the finance revenue sharing agreement with 21^st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige Home Centers, Inc. and Majestic Homes, Inc. To the extent that the finance revenue sharing agreement has reserves in excess of the minimum reserve (as required to be maintained), those funds are available for distribution. The minimum reserve is determined by a formula based on the delinquency rate and the higher the delinquency rate of the loan portfolio the more that is needed in the minimum reserve. During the fiscal year 2010 and second, third and fourth quarters of 2009, the loan delinquencies had increased to the point that there was not enough excess reserve to warrant a distribution. The reserve for loan losses of approximately $6,541,000 is held by 21st Mortgage Corporation and does not appear on the Company’s books. Included in the reserve is the cost of refurbishing and reselling the repurchased and foreclosed homes. All of the earnings of the loans originated under the finance revenue sharing agreement go to the reserve account. If this reserve account balance is greater than the minimum required reserve, a distribution can be made. If the delinquency rate in the loan portfolio increases requiring an increase in the required minimum reserve to an amount that is equal to or exceeds the reserve amount, then no amount would be available for distribution.

Pursuant to the finance revenue sharing agreement with 21^st Mortgage Corporation, the Company’s subsidiaries, Prestige Home Centers, Inc. and Majestic Homes, Inc., are not required to repay any previously received distributions. However, should the Escrow Account maintained by 21^st Mortgage Corporation for the loans originated pursuant to this agreement ever be less than $500,000, then Prestige and Majestic Homes must contribute an amount equal to 50% of such deficit and 21^st Mortgage Corporation will credit an equal amount to the Escrow Account. If Prestige and Majestic Homes fail to contribute, they forfeit all rights to distributions under the finance revenue sharing agreement but will be required to continue purchasing repossessed homes under the agreement.

The Company earned interest on cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments in the amount of $254,010 in fiscal year 2010 compared to $391,289 in fiscal year 2009. The decreased interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the amount of cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments and in the lower variable rate portion of our cash and cash equivalents balances.

The Company reported losses from investments in the retirement community limited partnerships in the amount of $942,352 in fiscal year 2010 compared to $682,831 in fiscal year 2009. Although these investments will report losses in the initial fill-up stage, management believes that new attractive and affordable manufactured home communities for senior citizens will be a significant growth area for Florida in the future. Because of a dispute on the refinancing terms on one of the Florida retirement manufactured home communities, Walden Woods, with the current mortgage lender, the General Partner sought bankruptcy protection in August 2010. Final resolution of the dispute is pending bankruptcy court approval.

The projected tax effect of tax positions arising in the current year have been reflected as a component of the estimated annual effective tax rate for the interim period. In that regard, the Company has recognized $200,000 in benefits due to the statute of limitations expiring on uncertain tax positions previously recognized as a liability on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the factors discussed above, losses in fiscal year 2010 were $795,132 or $0.20 per share and in fiscal year 2009 were $1,051,843 or $0.26 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $8,225,232 at November 6, 2010 compared to $3,995,167 at October 31, 2009. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the proceeds from maturity of long-term investments. Short and long-term investments were $2,538,598 at November 6, 2010 compared to $6,108,324 at October 31, 2009. The decrease in short and long-term investments was primarily due to the maturity of some of the bonds in the investment portfolio. Working capital was $26,916,120 at November 6, 2010 as compared to $25,306,819 at October 31, 2009. Nobility owns the entire inventory for its Prestige retail sales centers which includes new, pre-owned and repossessed or foreclosed homes and does not incur any third party floor plan financing expenses.

Accounts payable at November 6, 2010 was $220,635 compared to $91,636 at October 31, 2009. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to a increase in materials purchased since the number of homes produced in fourth quarter of 2010 at the Company’s manufacturing facility increased by 90% percent from fourth quarter of 2009. Accrued compensation at November 6, 2010 was $114,478 compared to $62,610 at October 31, 2009. Since accrued compensation consists largely of sales commissions and bonuses, the increase in accrued compensation was primarily due to the 32% increase in the number of homes sold at the Company’s retail sales centers in fourth quarter of 2010 compared to fourth quarter of 2009. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities at November 6, 2010 was $209,787 compared to $240,539 at October 31, 2009. The decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily due to the decrease in the average retail selling price. Customer deposits increased to $554,991 at November 6, 2010 from $410,578 at October 31, 2009 due to the slight increase in the number of sold retail homes on customers’ sites awaiting completion.

The Belleview manufacturing plant was consolidated into the Ocala manufacturing plant in the second quarter of 2009, because of the poor economic conditions in Florida and the rest of the United States and no immediate improvement of either in sight. The Company was not selling enough manufactured homes to justify keeping both plants open. The Company was able to transfer the raw material inventory to the Ocala plant and use it in producing the Belleview plant’s models in our Ocala plant. Most members of the Belleview plant’s management team and several of the employees were integrated into the Ocala plant. The cost to close the Belleview plant was approximately $10,000 and the ongoing cost for insurance, taxes, and minimum utilities is approximately $16,000 per quarter. Subsequent to fiscal 2010 year end, the Company has leased the Belleview plant for a two year period beginning in February 2011. If business conditions improve to the point that the Ocala plant production is at or near capacity, the Company would reopen the Belleview plant.

There were three retail model centers closed in fiscal year 2010 located in Tallahassee, Lake City and Jacksonville, Florida and two closed in fiscal year 2009 located in Ft Walton and Ocala, Florida. The inventory was transported to other retail model centers with the close down costing approximately $34,000 per model center and no on-going cost associated with the locations closed. There was approximately $23,000 in fiscal year 2010 and $60,000 in fiscal year 2009 in other assets written off relating to the Jacksonville model center in 2010 and the Ft. Walton model center in 2009. The Ocala model center had $16,000 in land improvements written off in fiscal year 2009.

Dividends are determined annually by the Board of Directors and are based on the profitability of the Company. Management did not recommend to the Board that a dividend be paid based on the results in fiscal years 2010 and 2009. On January 12, 2009 Nobility paid an annual cash dividend of $0.25 per common share or an aggregate of $1,018,669 for fiscal year 2008.

Nobility did not repurchase any of its common stock in the open market during fiscal year 2010. The Company repurchased in the open market 32,390 shares of its common stock for $263,467 during fiscal year 2009. The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s stock in the open market.

Nobility maintained a revolving credit agreement with a major bank providing for borrowing up to $4,000,000. At October 31, 2009 there were no amounts outstanding under this agreement. The Company has experienced no credit rating downgrades which would have an impact on our ability to draw on our revolving credit agreement. The $4 million unsecured revolving credit agreement expired on May 30, 2010.

We do not plan to incur any expenditure in fiscal year 2011 for the purchase of any of our current retail sales centers since we have no plan to purchase any of our leased centers in fiscal year 2011. The expenditures associated with defaulted loans are highly related to the unemployment rate in our market area and the length and severity of the recession, in addition to how quickly the Company can resell the foreclosed homes. Our joint venture still has a significant loan loss reserve of over $6 million on the portfolio of $72 million in loans. Based on the current level of sales, construction loans should not exceed $1,000,000. The Company could be required to repurchase several million dollars more of defaulted loans during the remainder of fiscal year 2011 depending upon delinquency and foreclosure rates. The Company has repurchased approximately $1,496,232 in additional defaulted loans under the finance revenue sharing agreement since November 6, 2010.

Under the finance revenue sharing agreement, loans that are 30 days past due are considered to be delinquent. At November 6, 2010, 14.3%, or $10,224,692, of the loans in the portfolio subject to the finance revenue sharing agreement were delinquent. At November 6, 2010, there were loan loss reserves of 8.98% of the finance revenue sharing agreement’s loan portfolio, which, based on our historical recovery ratios, should be sufficient to cover our losses on the disposition of delinquent loans. The joint venture, Majestic 21, is monitoring loan loss reserves on a monthly basis and is adjusting the loan loss reserves as necessary. If the fair market value of the collateral is less than the purchase price, after combining the liquidation expense reserves carried by 21st Mortgage Corporation, the Company would book a loss at that time. The risk of loss is carried primarily by 21st Mortgage Corporation as evidenced by the loss reimbursement payment of up to 60% that Prestige can use to cover any shortfall in the sales proceeds from the cost of repurchasing the home.

The maximum future undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make under the finance revenue sharing agreement, as of November 6, 2010, is $72,875,881 in repurchase obligations, offset by payments from 21st Mortgage Corporation for the loss reserve reconciliation of up to $33,383,382 and the proceeds from the sale of the homes (the collateral).

The Company owns a 50% interest in Majestic 21, a joint venture with 21^st Mortgage Corporation. The Company has dealer agreements with a number of lenders who provide financing for our homes. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, Majestic 21 secured $5,000,000 in financing from a commercial bank. The Company guarantees 50% of this financing. In addition, subsequent to fiscal 2009 year end, 21^st Mortgage Corporation announced that their parent company had agreed to provide additional capital to fund loan originations, which will be available when Majestic 21 fully lent the proceeds from the $5,000,000 commercial loan. Both of these sources of funding have been sufficient to fund our loan originations to date. To date, we have been able to fund loans without interruption.

Despite lower sales, negative cash flows, net operating losses and the repurchase of homes under the finance revenue sharing agreement, we are able to continue operations through fiscal year 2012. We will continue to monitor and eliminate all unnecessary expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company applies judgment and estimates, which may have a material effect in the eventual outcome of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, accounts receivable, inventory and goodwill. The following explains the basis and the procedure for each asset account where judgment and estimates are applied.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from its retail sales upon the occurrence of the following:

13

Table of Contents

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of the repurchased homes upon transfer of title to the new purchaser.

The Company recognizes revenues from its independent dealers upon receiving wholesale floor plan financing or establishing retail credit approval for terms, shipping of the home and transferring title and risk of loss to the independent dealer. For wholesale shipments to independent dealers, the Company has no obligation to setup the home or to complete any other significant obligations.

The Company recognizes revenues from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mountain Financial, Inc., as follows: commission income (and fees in lieu of commissions) is recorded as of the effective date of insurance coverage or the billing date, whichever is later. Commissions on premiums billed and collected directly by insurance companies are recorded as revenue when received which, in many cases, is the Company’s first notification of amounts earned due to the lack of policy and renewal information. Contingent commissions are recorded as revenue when received. Contingent commissions are commissions paid by insurance underwriters and are based on the estimated profit and/or overall volume of business placed with the underwriter. The data necessary for the calculation of contingent commissions cannot be reasonably obtained prior to the receipt of the commission which, in many cases, is the Company’s first notification of amounts earned. The Company provides 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 is deemed necessary for policy cancellations at November 6, 2010 or October 31, 2009.

Investments in Retirement Community Limited Partnerships

During 2008, the Company formed a limited liability company called Nobility Parks I, LLC to invest in a new Florida retirement manufactured home community, Walden Woods, III Ltd. (Walden Woods) located in Homosassa, Florida. The investment of $2,360,000 provides the Company with 49% of the earnings/losses of the 236 residential lots. The investment amount is equivalent to $10,000 per residential lot. The investment is included in Other Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nobility Parks I, LLC has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. During fiscal year 2008, Nobility Parks I, LLC sold $825,250 of its ownership at cost, which reduced the Company’s investment, and percentage of earning/losses by the same amount to 31.9%.

During 2008, the Company formed a limited liability company called Nobility Parks II, LLC to invest in a new Florida retirement manufactured home community, CRF III, Ltd. (Cypress Creek) located in Winter Haven, Florida. The investment of $4,030,000 provides the Company with 49% of the earnings/losses of the 403 residential lots. The investment amount is equivalent to $10,000 per residential lot. The investment is included in Other Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nobility Parks II, LLC has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. During fiscal year 2009, Nobility Parks II, LLC sold $40,000 of its ownership at cost, which reduced the Company’s investment, and percentage of earning/losses by the same amount to 48.5%.

These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company holds a 31.9% interest in Walden Woods and a 48.5% interest in Cypress Creek and all allocations of profit and loss are on a pro-rata basis. Since all allocations are to be made on a pro-rata basis and the Company’s maximum exposure is limited to its investment in Walden Woods and Cypress Creek, management has concluded that the Company would not absorb a majority of Walden Woods’ and Cypress Creek’s expected losses nor receive a majority of Walden Woods’ and Cypress Creek’s expected residual returns; therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate Walden Woods and Cypress Creek with the accounts of Nobility Homes in accordance with FASB ASC No. 810-10.

Nobility’s investments in the retirement communities are evaluated for possible impairment as facts and circumstances present themselves. The major factor that is considered to be an indicator of possible impairment would be the significant and/or permanent decline in actual or forecasted sales or no sales activity in the retirement communities. When it is determine that the retirement communities do not have the ability to weather such an event, then an impairment charge may be taken. The Company receives financial statements on each community quarterly and compares those financial statements with our investment expectations. In addition, by being the sole supplier of homes to the two communities we know on a daily basis how many homes are sold. The Company also gets a monthly inventory report showing all homes set up as models, all homes sold waiting for closing, all homes with 15% deposits waiting for a closing date, plus homes sold for the

14

Table of Contents

month. The Company follows the number of customers booked into the communities on the “guest house” program and monitor the communities’ advertising and marketing plans and programs. With a manufactured home community, each home sold increases the monthly rental income and increases the value of the community since the new homeowner agrees to pay a monthly payment to the community for the community’s amenities and the land upon which the home is located. The Company continually analyzes this information provided for any indicators of possible impairment. To date, the Company does not believe our investments in the retirement community limited partnerships are impaired.

Investment in Majestic 21

Majestic 21 was formed in 1997 as a joint venture with our joint venture partner, an unrelated entity (21^st Mortgage Corporation (“21^st Mortgage”)). We have been allocated our share of net income and distributions on a 50/50 basis since Majestic 21’s formation. While Majestic 21 has been deemed to be a variable interest entity, the Company only holds a 50% interest in this entity and all allocations of profit and loss are on a 50/50 basis. Since all allocations are to be made on a 50/50 basis and the Company’s maximum exposure is limited to its investment in Majestic 21, management has concluded that the Company would not absorb a majority of Majestic 21’s expected losses nor receive a majority of Majestic 21’s expected residual returns; therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate Majestic 21 with the accounts of Nobility Homes in accordance with FASB ASC 810. Management believes that the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Majestic 21 is its investment in the joint venture recorded in the accounts of Nobility Homes of $1,966,304 as of November 6, 2010 and $1,976,755 as of November 31, 2009. However, based on management’s evaluation, there was no impairment of this investment at November 6, 2010 or October 31, 2009.

The Company is not obligated to repurchase any foreclosed/repossessed units of Majestic 21 as it does not have a repurchase agreement or any other guarantees with Majestic 21. The Company resells foreclosed/repossessed units of Majestic 21 through the Company’s network of retail centers as we believe it benefits the historical loss experience of the joint venture. We earn commissions from reselling such foreclosed/repossessed units and have historically not recorded any material losses in connection with this activity.

The Majestic 21 joint venture is a loan portfolio that is owned 50% by 21st Mortgage Corporation and 50% by the Company. The primary assets are loans that were originated from 1997 until 2003. In 2003, the Company entered into a finance revenue sharing agreement with 21st Mortgage Corporation and all loans originated from that point forward, are owned by 21^st Mortgage Corporation pursuant to the finance revenue sharing agreement. Consequently, no additional loans are going into the Majestic 21 joint venture and the balance of the loans/assets of the partnership is declining each month due to amortization and payoffs. At November 6, 2010, there was $676,000 in loan loss reserves or 2.68% of Majestic 21’s loan portfolio. The Majestic 21 joint venture is monitoring loan loss reserves on a monthly basis and is adjusting the loan loss reserves as necessary. The Majestic 21 joint venture is consolidated into 21^st Mortgage Corporation’s financial statements which are included in the financial statements of its ultimate parent, which is a public company. Management believes the loan loss reserves are reasonable based upon its review of the Majestic 21 joint venture’s financial statements and loan loss experiences to-date.

Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement

During fiscal year 2004, the Company transferred $250,000 from its existing joint venture in Majestic 21 in order to participate in a finance revenue sharing agreement between 21^st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige Homes, Inc., and Majestic Homes, Inc. without forming a separate entity. In connection with this finance revenue sharing agreement, mortgage financing will be provided on manufactured homes sold through the Company’s retail centers to customers who qualify for such mortgage financing. Under the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase any repossessed homes and related collateral from 21^st Mortgage Corporation that were financed under the agreement. The repurchase price is the remaining loan balance (plus 21^st Mortgage Corporation’s legal fees). If the loan included a mortgage on the land, the Company receives the land in addition to the home. If the loan only had the home as collateral, the Company only gets the home and is required to move it off the location where it was previously sited. After the Company re-sells the homes, the Company receives the full proceeds from the sale of the home, plus a reimbursement from 21^st Mortgage Corporation for liquidation expenses. The reimbursement covers the Company’s cost of transporting homes, repairing homes to resale condition, remarketing homes and all other liquidation expenses. The Company and 21^st Mortgage Corporation have agreed that the reimbursement for: (a) a home only repurchase will not exceed 60% of the Company’s purchase price nor will it be less than 40% of the Company’s repurchase price; and (b) a home and land repurchase will not exceed 45% of the Company’s purchase price nor will it be less than 25% of the Company’s purchase price. Due to the number of repurchased homes the Company has experienced in fiscal year 2010 and 2009 under the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has increased the reserve to $402,994 in 2010 from $300,000 in 2009 for potential losses associated with the refurbishing and reselling of the repurchased homes.

Accounting for Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes bases on ASC 740 utilizing the asset and liabilities method. Management is required to assess the reliability of its deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis at each reporting period.

Rebate Program

The Company has a rebate program for all dealers which pays rebates based upon sales volume to the dealers. Volume rebates are recorded as a reduction of sales in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The rebate liability is calculated and recognized as eligible homes are sold based upon factors surrounding the activity and prior experience of specific dealers and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities (“VIE’s”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of November 6, 2010, we are not involved in any material unconsolidated entities (other than the Company’s investments in Majestic 21, the finance revenue sharing agreement and Retirement Community Limited Partnerships).

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including our statement that working capital requirements will be met with internal sources. Although Nobility believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, competitive pricing pressures at both the wholesale and retail levels, increasing material costs, continued excess retail inventory, increase in repossessions, changes in market demand, changes in interest rates, availability of financing for retail and wholesale purchasers, consumer confidence, adverse weather conditions that reduce sales at retail centers, the risk of manufacturing plant shutdowns due to storms or other factors, the impact of marketing and cost-management programs, reliance on the Florida economy, impact of labor shortage, impact of materials shortage, increasing labor cost, cyclical nature of the manufactured housing industry, impact of rising fuel costs, catastrophic events impacting insurance costs, availability of insurance coverage for various risks to Nobility, market demographics, management’s ability to attract and retain executive officers and key personnel, increased global tensions, market disruptions resulting from terrorist or other attack and any armed conflict involving the United States and the impact of inflation.

(“Nobility”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Prestige Home Centers, Inc. (“Prestige”) Nobility Parks I, LLC, Nobility Parks II, LLC and Prestige’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mountain Financial, Inc., an independent insurance agency and mortgage broker, and Majestic Homes, Inc., (collectively the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of manufactured modular homes to various dealerships, including its own retail sales centers, and manufactured housing communities throughout Florida.

Prestige currently operates twelve Florida retail sales centers: Ocala (2), Chiefland, Tampa, Auburndale, Inverness, Hudson, Tavares, Yulee, Pace, Panama City and Punta Gorda.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fiscal Year – The Company’s fiscal year ends on the first Saturday on or after October 31. The year ended November 6, 2010 consisted of fifty-three week periods and year ended October 31, 2009 consisted of fifty-two week periods.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue from its retail sales of new manufactured homes upon the occurrence of the following:

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of the repurchased homes upon transfer of title to the new purchaser.

The Company recognizes revenues from its independent dealers upon receiving wholesale floor plan financing or establishing retail credit approval for terms, shipping of the home, and transferring title and risk of loss to the independent dealer. For wholesale shipments to independent dealers, the Company has no obligation to setup the home or to complete any other significant obligations.

The Company recognizes revenues from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mountain Financial, Inc., as follows: commission income (and fees in lieu of commissions) is recorded as of the effective date of insurance coverage or the billing date, whichever is later. Commissions on premiums billed and collected directly by insurance companies are recorded as revenue when received which, in many cases, is the Company’s first notification of amounts earned due to the lack of policy and renewal information. Contingent commissions are recorded as revenue when received. Contingent commissions are commissions paid by insurance underwriters and are based on the estimated profit and/or overall volume of business placed with the underwriter. The data necessary for the calculation of contingent commissions cannot be reasonably obtained prior to the receipt of the commission which, in many cases, is the Company’s first notification of amounts earned. The Company provides 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 is deemed necessary for policy cancellations at November 6, 2010 or October 31, 2009.

Revenues by Products and Services – Revenues by net sales from manufactured housing, insurance agent commissions, and construction lending operations for the years ended November 6, 2010 and October 31, 2009 are as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful account is provided based on prior collection experiences and management’s analysis of specific accounts. At November 6, 2010 and October 31, 2009, in the opinion of management, all accounts were considered fully collectible and, accordingly, no allowance was deemed necessary.

Accounts receivable fluctuates due to the number of homes sold to independent dealers. The Company recognizes revenues from its independent dealers upon receiving wholesale floor plan financing or establishing retail credit approval for terms, shipping of the home, and transferring title and risk of loss to the independent dealer. For wholesale shipments to independent dealers, the Company has no obligation to setup the home or to complete any other significant obligations.

Investments – The Company’s investments consist of municipal and other debt securities as well as equity securities of a public company. Investments with maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are accounted for as “held-to-maturity” securities and are carried at amortized cost. Premiums and discounts on investments in debt securities are amortized over the contractual lives of those securities. The method of amortization results in a constant effective yield on those securities (the interest method). The Company’s equity investment in a public company is classified as “available-for-sale” and carried at fair value. Unrealized gains on the available-for-sale securities, net of taxes, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company continually reviews its investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other than temporary. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.

Inventories – New home inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market 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 market value. Pre-owned home inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market value. Each specific model’s market value is determined using the standards established by the NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) manufactured housing cost guide book. This guidebook is HUD Title 1, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved, and the Department of Veteran Affairs recognizes it for appraisal (cost approach) and review purposes. The Company compares the models’ market value to the NADA manufactured housing cost guide book on a quarterly basis or more often as facts and circumstances causes the Company to believe any changes in valuation have occurred. Other inventory costs are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Due to the number of repurchased homes the Company has experienced in fiscal year 2010 and 2009 under the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has increased the inventory valuation reserve to $402,994 in 2010 from $300,000 in 2009 for potential losses associated with the refurbishing and reselling of the repurchased homes. (See Note 6)

Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses are credited or charged to earnings upon disposition.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Investment in Majestic 21 – Majestic 21 was formed in 1997 as a joint venture with our joint venture partner, an unrelated entity (21^st Mortgage Corporation (“21^st Mortgage”)). We have been allocated our share of net income and distributions on a 50/50 basis since Majestic 21’s formation. While Majestic 21 has been deemed to be a variable interest entity, the Company only holds a 50% interest in this entity and all allocations of profit and loss are on a 50/50 basis. Since all allocations are to be made on a 50/50 basis and the Company’s maximum exposure is limited to its investment in Majestic 21, management has concluded that the Company would not absorb a majority of Majestic 21’s expected losses nor receive a majority of Majestic 21’s expected residual returns; therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate Majestic 21 with the accounts of Nobility Homes in accordance with ASC 810. Management believes that the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Majestic 21 is its investment in the joint venture recorded in the accounts of Nobility Homes of $1,966,304 as of November 6, 2010 and $1,976,755 as of October 31, 2009. However, based on management’s evaluation, there was no impairment of this investment at November 6, 2010 or October 31, 2009.

The Company is not obligated to repurchase any foreclosed/repossessed units of Majestic 21 as it does not have a repurchase agreement or any other guarantees with Majestic 21. The Company does resell foreclosed/repossessed units of Majestic 21 through the Company’s network of retail centers as we believe it benefits the historical loss experience of the joint venture. We earn commissions from reselling such foreclosed/repossessed units and have historically not recorded any losses in connection with this activity. On May 20, 2009, the Company became a 50% guarantor on a $5 million note payable entered into by Majestic 21, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 50% interest (see Note 15).

Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement – During fiscal year 2004, the Company transferred $250,000 from its existing joint venture in Majestic 21 in order to participate in a finance revenue sharing agreement between 21^st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige Homes, Inc., and Majestic Homes, Inc. without forming a separate entity. In connection with this finance revenue sharing agreement, mortgage financing will be provided on manufactured homes sold through the Company’s retail centers to customers who qualify for such mortgage financing. As a condition to the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase homes from defaulted loans which were financed under the agreement. Upon disposition of the homes, the Company will receive a payment from the finance revenue sharing agreement reserve account, of no less than 25% and no more than 60% of the payoff of the loan, to cover the costs of the disposition of the homes.

Other Investments – The Company owns a 50% interest in a joint venture, Majestic 21, engaged in providing mortgage financing on manufactured homes. This investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting under which the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of the affiliate is recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations and added to the investment account, and dividends received from the affiliate are treated as a reduction of the investment account (see Note 5). The Company also participates in a finance revenue sharing agreement with 21^st Mortgage Corporation in providing mortgage financing on manufactured homes sold through the Company’s retail sales centers (see Note 5). In connection with the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has made a deposit of $250,000, which is included in other investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During 2008, the Company formed a limited liability company called Nobility Parks I, LLC to invest in a new Florida retirement manufactured home community, Walden Woods, III Ltd. (Walden Woods) located in Homosassa, Florida. The investment of $2,360,000 provides the Company with 49% of the earnings/losses of the 236 residential lots. The investment amount is equivalent to $10,000 per residential lot. The investment is included in Other Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nobility Parks I, LLC has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. During fiscal year 2008, Nobility Parks I, LLC sold $825,250 of its ownership at cost, which reduced the Company’s investment, and percentage of earning/losses by the same amount to 31.9%.

During 2008, the Company formed a limited liability company called Nobility Parks II, LLC to invest in a new Florida retirement manufactured home community, CRF III, Ltd. (Cypress Creek) located in Winter Haven, Florida. The investment of $4,030,000 provides the Company with 49% of the earnings/losses of the 403 residential lots. The investment amount is equivalent to $10,000 per residential lot. The investment is included in Other Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nobility Parks II, LLC has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. During fiscal year 2009, Nobility Parks II, LLC sold $40,000 of its ownership at cost, which reduced the Company’s investment, and percentage of earning/losses by the same amount to 48.5%.

Because of a dispute on the refinancing terms on one of the Florida retirement manufactured home communities, Walden Woods, with the current mortgage lender, the General Partner sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 2010. Final resolution of the dispute is pending bankruptcy court approval.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down is required. If such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.

Customer Deposits – A retail customer is required to make a down payment ranging from $500 to 35% of the retail contract price based upon the credit worthiness of the customer. The retail customer receives the full down payment back when the Company is not able to obtain retail financing. If the retail customer receives retail financing and decides not to go through with the retail sale, the Company can withhold 20% of the retail contract price. The Company does not receive any deposits from their independent dealers.

Warranty Costs – The Company provides for a warranty as the manufactured homes are sold. Amounts related to these warranties for fiscal years 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

The Company’s Limited Warranty covers substantial defects in material or workmanship in specified components of the home including structural elements; plumbing systems, electrical systems, and heating and cooling systems which are supplied by the Company that may occur under normal use and service during a period of twelve (12) months from the date of delivery to the original homeowner, and applies to the original homeowner or any subsequent homeowner to whom this product is transferred during the duration of this twelve (12) month period.

The Company tracks the warranty claims per home. Based on the history of the warranty claims, the Company has determined that a majority of warranty claims usually occur within the first three months after the home is sold. The Company determines its warranty accrual using the last three months of home sales; therefore, the warranty accrual for the prior four quarters should equal the warranty expense for the full fiscal year.

Accrued Home Setup Costs – Accrued home setup costs represent amounts due to vendors and/or independent contractors for various items related to the actual setup of the homes on the retail home buyers’ site. These costs include appliances, air conditioners, electrical/plumbing hook-ups, furniture, insurance, impact/permit fees, land/home fees, extended service plan, freight, skirting, steps, well and septic tanks and other setup costs and are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”.

Stock-Based Compensation – At November 6, 2010, the Company had a stock incentive plan (the “Plan”) which authorizes the issuance of options to purchase common stock. Stock based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period).

Rebate Program – The Company has a rebate program for all dealers which pay rebates based upon sales volume to the dealers. Volume rebates are recorded as a reduction of sales in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The rebate liability is calculated and recognized as eligible homes are sold based upon factors surrounding the activity and prior experience of specific dealers and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”.

Advertising – Advertising for Prestige retail sales centers consists primarily of newspaper, radio and television advertising. All costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to approximately $489,583 and $637,000 for fiscal year 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Loss Per Share – These financial statements include “basic” loss per share information for all periods presented. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

Shipping and Handling Costs – Net sales include the revenue related to shipping and handling charges billed to customers. The related costs associated with shipping and handling is included as a component of cost of goods sold.

Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income includes net loss as well as other comprehensive income. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, net of related taxes.

Segments – The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information on a company-wide or consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company accounts for its operations in accordance with FAS ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” No segment disclosures have been made as the Company considers its business activities as a single segment.

Concentration of Credit Risk – The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and accounts receivable. At times, the Company’s deposits may exceed federally insured limits. However, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on these accounts. The majority of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are made primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in the areas where they operate; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses when deemed necessary and such losses have historically been within management’s expectations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has adopted new fair value measurements guidance as it applies to non-financial assets and liabilities. U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance was applied in the fourth quarter of 2009, in conjunction with a reclassification of two facilities as held for sale, at which time the net carrying value of the facilities were measured at their fair value less costs to sell. It was determined through third-party appraisals that the fair value of one facility was less than the carrying value, and the Company adjusted the value of the facility to its fair value less cost to sell.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to change financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities (VIEs). The standard replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a VIE with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a VIE and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive the entity’s residual returns. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and has determined the impact of adoption to be immaterial based on its current structures with VIEs.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The standard modifies existing guidance by removing the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) and removing the special provisions for guaranteed mortgage securitizations, requiring those securitizations to be treated the same as any other transfer of financial assets. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities (as

27

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

defined under previous accounting standards) and guaranteed mortgage securitizations should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. The standard also limits the unit of account eligible for sale accounting, and clarifies the control and legal isolation criteria to qualify for sale accounting. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and has determined the impact of adoption to be immaterial as its securitizations and other financial assets transfers as described in Note 6 are currently consolidated.

NOTE 2 Investments

Investments in “held-to-maturity” and “available-for-sale” debt and equity securities were as follows:

The fair values were estimated based on quoted market prices using current market rates at each respective period end.

Contractual maturities of “held-to-maturity” debt securities were as follows:

There were no sales of “available-for-sale” securities during the fiscal years 2010 or 2009.

28

Table of Contents

Nobility Homes, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The unrealized losses on municipal securities were primarily due to changes in interest rates. Because the decline in market values of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be until maturity, the Company does not believe any of the unrealized losses represent other than temporary impairment based on evaluations of available evidence as of November 6, 2010.

A summary of the carrying values and balance sheet classification of all investments in debt and equity securities including “held-to-maturity” and “available-for-sale” securities disclosed above was as follows:

NOTE 3 Fair Value of Financial Investments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount and fair market value of the Company’s short and long-term investments are as follows:

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC No. 820) on November 2, 2008. ASC No. 820 defines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The adoption of ASC No. 820 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

In 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued another pronouncement which provided a one year deferral for the implementation of ASC No. 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value that are recorded or disclosed on a non-recurring basis. The Company has elected to apply the deferral to the applicable non-financial assets and liabilities until November 1, 2009.

ASC No. 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 No. 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 No. 820 fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

NOTE 5 Other Investments

Investment in Joint Venture – Majestic 21 — During fiscal 1997, the Company contributed $250,000 for a 50% interest in a joint venture engaged in providing mortgage financing on manufactured homes. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

While Majestic 21 has been deemed to be a variable interest entity, the Company only holds a 50% interest in this entity and all allocations of profit and loss are on a 50/50 basis. Since all allocations are to be made on a 50/50 basis and the Company’s maximum exposure is limited to its investment in Majestic 21, management has concluded that the Company would not absorb a majority of Majestic 21’s expected losses nor receive a majority of Majestic 21’s expected residual returns; therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate Majestic 21 with the accounts of Nobility Homes in accordance with ASC 810.

The following is summarized financial information of the Company’s joint venture:

Distributions received from the joint venture amounted to $29,000 and $83,500 in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

With regard to our investment in Majestic 21, there are no differences between our investment balance and the amount of underlying equity in net assets owned by Majestic 21 by the Company.

Investment in Retirement Community Limited Partnerships — During 2008, the Company formed a limited liability company called Nobility Parks I, LLC to invest in a new Florida retirement manufactured home community, Walden Woods, III Ltd. (Walden Woods) located in Homosassa, Florida. The investment of $2,360,000 provides the Company with 49% of the earnings/losses of the 236 residential lots. The investment amount is equivalent to $10,000 per residential lot. The investment is included in Other Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nobility Parks I, LLC has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. During fiscal year 2008, Nobility Parks I, LLC sold $825,250 of its ownership at cost, which reduced the Company’s investment, and percentage of earning/losses by the same amount to 31.9%.

During 2008, the Company formed a limited liability company called Nobility Parks II, LLC to invest in a new Florida retirement manufactured home community, CRF III, Ltd. (Cypress Creek) located in Winter Haven, Florida. The investment of $4,030,000 provides the Company with 49% of the earnings/losses of the 403 residential lots. The investment amount is equivalent to $10,000 per residential lot. The investment is included in Other Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nobility Parks II, LLC has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. During fiscal year 2009, Nobility Parks II, LLC sold $40,000 of its ownership at cost, which reduced the Company’s investment, and percentage of earning/losses by the same amount to 48.5%.

These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company holds a 31.9% interest in Walden Woods and a 48.5% interest in Cypress Creek and all allocations of profit and loss are on a pro-rata basis. Since all allocations are to be made on a pro-rata basis and the Company’s maximum exposure is limited to its investment in Walden Woods and Cypress Creek, management has concluded that the Company would not absorb a majority of Walden Woods’ and Cypress Creek’s expected losses nor receive a majority of Walden Woods’ and Cypress Creek’s expected residual returns; therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate Walden Woods and Cypress Creek with the accounts of Nobility Homes in accordance with FASB ASC No. 810-10.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The following is summarized financial information of Walden Woods and Cypress Creek as of September 30, 2010 and 2009*:

The only difference between the Company’s investment balances in Walden Woods and Cypress Creek and the amount of underlying equity in net assets owned by the Company that is recorded on each partnership’s balance sheet is caused by each partnership’s founding partner not stepping up the original cost basis to fair market value its contribution of land to the partnerships, which is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, since the founding partner formed both partnerships.

Because of continuing losses related to the limited partnership operations and the bankruptcy filing by Walden Woods and because the Company’s investments in these partnerships exceeds the underlying equity of those entities, the Company in 2010 assessed its carrying value of these investments by comparing them to its proportionate share of its estimates of the fair value of the partnerships.

In the case of Walden Woods, the Company’s assessment of the fair value of its investment is based on the expected refinancing of a Walden Woods’ long-term debt as a result of the bankruptcy filing in August 2010. The agreement related to this refinancing was finalized at a mediation hearing between the general partners and the existing lenders on January 27, 2011 and will result in a significant reduction of Walden Woods’ debt. The refinancing is subject to approval by the bankruptcy court, which the Company expects to occur since there are no significant other creditors involved in the filing; the ability of the general partner to obtain acceptable alternative financing; and the general partner sharing the benefit of this with the limited partners. In correspondence with the Company, the general partner has indicated his intent to share the benefit of the refinancing with the limited partners as long as he is able to attain acceptable financing. The Company believes that the underlying property is financeable at the debt level indicated in the refinancing agreement and accordingly expects that the general partner should be able to obtain satisfactory financing. If this refinancing would not occur or if the benefit of this would not be shared with the limited partners, the Company’s investment of $863,053 could be fully impaired. The Company has not reflected any impairment of this investment in the November 6, 2010 financial statements based on the expectation of the occurrence of the refinancing and that the benefit of this that will inure to the limited partners. Additionally, the Company has received assurances from its principal shareholder that if the general partner is not able to obtain acceptable financing to effect the refinancing, the shareholder or his affiliate will pursue a refinancing, subject to all the conditions thereof, with the lender and seek approval of this through the bankruptcy proceedings which will protect the value of the Company’s investment. Based on its assessment of the circumstances surrounding this investment as of the date of these financial statements, management does not believe this investment is impaired.

The general partner of Cypress Creek has notified the Company that it is in the process of refinancing the mortgage loan on the property of approximately $9.1 million which expired on March 2, 2011. Further, the Company has been informed that Cypress Creek has continued to service the mortgage during the period of negotiations and the general partner has informed the Company that this mortgage is expected to be refinanced in the near future. Management believes that the mortgage will be refinanced and that the operations of Cypress Creek will continue uninterrupted. Management has assessed that its proportionate share of its estimate of the fair value of Cypress Creek supports the carrying value of its investment in the 2010 financial statements.

Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement – During fiscal year 2004, the Company transferred $250,000 from its existing joint venture in Majestic 21 in order to participate in a finance revenue sharing agreement between 21^st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige Home Centers, Inc. and Majestic Homes, Inc. without forming a separate entity. In connection with this finance revenue sharing agreement, mortgage financing will be provided on manufactured homes sold through the Company’s retail sales centers to customers who qualify for such mortgage financing.

As a condition to the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase homes from defaulted loans which were financed under the agreement. Upon disposition of the homes, the Company will receive a payment from the finance revenue sharing agreement reserve account, of no less than 25% and no more than 60% of the payoff of the loan, to cover the costs of the disposition of the homes.

The positive impact upon results of operations from the re-sale of the collateral for defaulted loans has been approximately $250,832 which includes commission income of $206,434 in fiscal year 2010 and $93,900 which includes commission income of $51,021 in fiscal year 2009. There were 28 re-sales during fiscal year 2010 and 7 re-sales in fiscal year 2009.

Due to the number of repurchased homes the Company has experienced in fiscal year 2010 and 2009 under the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has set up an inventory valuation reserve of $402,994 in 2010 and $300,000 in 2009 for potential losses associated with the refurbishing and reselling of the repurchased homes (see Note 15).
