Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended August 3, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

The unaudited financial information included in this report includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The operations for the three and nine months ended August 3, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012.

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 inventory is valued at the lower of the Company’s cost to acquire the inventory plus refurbishment costs incurred to date to bring the inventory to a more saleable state, or market value.

Other inventory costs are determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

Inventories were as follows:

Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement – During fiscal 2004, the Company entered into a finance revenue sharing agreement (FRSA) between 21^st Mortgage Corporation (“21^st Mortgage”), Prestige Home Centers, Inc., and Majestic Homes, Inc. without forming a separate entity. In connection with this FRSA, mortgage financing is provided on manufactured homes sold through the Company’s retail centers to customers who qualify for such mortgage financing. Under the FRSA, prior to the execution of the Seventh Amendment as described below, the Company had agreed to repurchase any repossessed homes and related collateral from 21^st Mortgage that was financed under the agreement. Prior to the Seventh Amendment, the FRSA contained certain provisions that would reimburse the Company for a portion of any repossessed homes and related collateral sold.

In October 2011, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the FRSA. As a result, the Company’s obligation to buyback contracts on repossessed homes ceased and any homes that had not yet been re-sold are to be liquidated by the Company and there will be no reimbursement from the FRSA escrow for any expenses or losses upon sale of the home.

The following table summarizes certain key statistics regarding repurchased homes and subsequent sale of those homes under the FRSA. These homes and land are reflected as pre-owned homes in the consolidated balance sheets.

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

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

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. Short-term investments (available for sale) are carried at fair value.

FASB ASC No. 820 “Fair Value Measurements” 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:

The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at August 3, 2013 and November 3, 2012.

The Company’s investment in retirement community limited partnerships include a 31.9% interest in Walden Woods South LLC (“South”) and a 48.5% interest in CRF III, Ltd. (“Cypress Creek”). The fair value of the Cypress Creek investment was $534,793 and $757,924 at August 3, 2013 and November 3, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the South investment is zero at both August 3, 2013 and November 3, 2012.

The following is summarized financial information of South and Cypress Creek*:

The Company provides for a limited warranty as the manufactured homes are sold. Amounts related to these warranties 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic net income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the three and nine months ended August 3, 2013 and August 4, 2012, options to purchase 54,150 and 78,900 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of potentially dilutive securities as the effect on earnings (loss) per share is antidilutive.

Revenues by net sales from manufactured housing, insurance agent commissions and construction lending operations are as follows:

Majestic 21 – The Company has a 50% interest in Majestic 21, a joint venture with an unrelated entity (21^st Mortgage Corporation) (“21^st Mortgage”). The Company is a 50% guarantor on a $5 million note payable entered into by Majestic 21. This guarantee was a requirement of the bank that provided the $5 million loan to Majestic 21. The $5 million guarantee of Majestic 21’s debt is for the life of the note which matures on the earlier of May 31, 2019 or when the principal balance is less than $750,000. The amount of the guarantee declines with the amortization and repayment of the loan. As collateral for the loan, 21^st Mortgage has granted the lender a security interest in a pool of loans encumbering homes sold by Prestige Homes Centers, Inc. If the pool of loans securing this note should decrease in value so that the notes outstanding principal balance is in excess of 80% of the principal balance of the pool of loans, then Majestic 21 would have to pay down the note’s principal balance to an amount that is no more than 80% of the principal balance of the pool of loans. The Company and 21^st Mortgage are obligated jointly to contribute the amount necessary to bring the loan balance back down to 80% of the collateral provided. We do not anticipate any required contributions as the pool of loans securing the note have historically been in excess of 100% of the collateral value. As of August 3, 2013, the outstanding principal balance of the note was $2,138,500 and the amount of collateral was $2,827,525. Based upon management’s analysis, the fair value of the guarantee is not material and as a result, no liability for the guarantee has been recorded in the accompanying balance sheets of the Company.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics and percent of gross profit for the three and nine months ended August 3, 2013 and August 4, 2012.

Total net sales in the third quarter of 2013 were $4,758,456, up 24% compared to $3,828,400 in the third quarter of 2012, which includes sales of pre-owned homes of $946,865 and $978,125, respectively. Total net sales for the first nine months of 2013 were $11,973,742, up 5% compared to $11,446,802 for the first nine months of 2012, which includes sales of pre-owned homes of $2,018,780 and $2,264,420, respectively. Sales to two publicly traded REIT’S (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and other companies which own multiple retirement communities in our market area accounted for approximately 28% and 33% of our sales for the nine months ended August 3, 2013 and August 4, 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable due from these customers were approximately $990,073 at August 3, 2013.

According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2012 through May 2013 were up approximately 14% from the same period last year. Our sales and operations continue to be impacted by our country’s economic conditions and those in the state of Florida. Although 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. Our 46 years of experience in the Florida market and consumers’ increased need for more affordable housing should serve us well in the coming years. We remain convinced that our specific geographic market is one of the best long-term growth areas in the country. The country must experience a better economy with less uncertainty, improved sales in the existing home market, declining unemployment, increased consumer confidence and more retail financing for the sales of our affordable homes to improve significantly.

We understand that during this very complex economic environment, maintaining our strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. Because of the recent historical poor business conditions in our market area and the lack of any clarity as to when today’s economic challenges will improve measurably, we will continue to evaluate Prestige’s retail model centers in Florida, along with all other expenses and react in a manner consistent with maintaining our strong financial position.

We have specialized for 46 years in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes at our plant located in central Florida. With our multiple retail sales centers, a finance company joint venture, an insurance subsidiary, and investments in retirement manufactured home communities, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

Insurance agent commission revenues in the third quarter of 2013 were $49,566 compared to $43,249 in the third quarter of 2012. Total insurance agent commission revenues for the first nine months of 2013 were $152,926 compared to $155,179 for the first nine months of 2012. The decline in insurance agent commission’s year to date in 2013 resulted from a decline in renewals. 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 August 3, 2013 and November 3, 2012.

The revenues from construction lending operations in third quarter of 2013 was $10,592 compared to $7,098 in the third quarter of 2012 and was $24,299 for the first nine months of 2013 compared to $25,736 for the first nine months of 2012. The decrease in revenues year to date in 2013 was due to fewer homes sales in fiscal year 2013 financed with a construction loan.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 19% in third quarter of 2013 compared to 13% in third quarter of 2012 and was 17% for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012. The gross profit in third quarter of 2013 was $903,640 compared to $513,912 in the third quarter of 2012 and was $2,027,409 for the first nine months of 2013 compared to $1,893,606 for the first nine months of 2012. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increased sales volume and increases in the average wholesale new manufactured home selling price.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 16% in third quarter of 2013 and 2012 and was 16% for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012. We continue our efforts to reduce our overhead costs, which included closing two retail sales centers in fiscal year 2012.

Our earnings from Majestic 21 in the third quarter of 2013 were $29,180, compared to $20,796 for the third quarter of 2012. Our earnings from Majestic 21 for the first nine months of 2013 were $89,380, compared to $63,346 for the first nine months of 2012. The earnings from Majestic 21 represent the allocation of profit and losses which are owned 50% by 21st Mortgage and 50% by the Company. The increase in earnings in fiscal year 2013 is due to the lower cost of funds on the portfolio.

We earned interest on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the amount of $11,398 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $16,593 for the third quarter of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013 interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $40,344 compared to $49,361 in the first nine months of 2012. Interest income is dependent on our cash balance and available rates of return.

We reported non-cash losses from our investment in retirement community limited partnerships of $93,290 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $110,342 for the third quarter of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, losses were $223,131 compared to $259,727 in the first nine months of 2012. We expect similar losses for the remainder of 2013 as the community continues to see slow growth in new home sales.

We reported net income of $121,501 for the third quarter of 2013, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $157,037, or $0.04 per share, for the third quarter of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013 net income was $79,325, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $58,876, or $0.01 per share, in the first nine months of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $9,855,173 at August 3, 2013 compared to $7,352,480 at November 3, 2012. Short-term investments were $462,073 at August 3, 2013 compared to $320,946 at November 3, 2012. Working capital was $18,413,098 at August 3, 2013 as compared to $18,589,914 at November 3, 2012. We own the entire inventory for our Prestige retail sales centers which includes new, pre-owned and repossessed or foreclosed homes and do not incur any third party floor plan financing expenses.

We view our liquidity as our total cash and short term investments. We currently have no line of credit facility and we do not believe that such a facility is currently necessary for our operations. We have no debt. We also have approximately $2.5 million of cash surrender value of life insurance which we could access as an additional source of liquidity though we have not currently viewed this to be necessary.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In Item 7 of our Form 10-K, under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” we have provided a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that management believes affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. No significant changes have occurred since that time.
