PART I

Nobility Homes, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated in 1967, designs, manufactures and sells a broad line of manufactured and modular homes through 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. All references in this annual report on Form 10-K to “Nobility,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Nobility Homes, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise suggests.

Manufactured Homes

Nobility’s homes are available in approximately 100 active models sold under the trade names “Kingswood,” “Richwood,” “Tropic Isle,” “Regency Manor,” and “Special Edition.” The homes, ranging in size from 431 to 2,650 square feet and containing from one to five bedrooms, are available in:

Our floor plans can be built as an on-frame modular home. We have been approved to build A.N.S.I. Park models under 400 square feet and exposure D homes.

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 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. Substantially all of Nobility’s sales are made in Florida.

Retail Sales

Prestige Home Centers, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, operates ten 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 61% and 64% of Nobility’s sales during fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Each of Prestige’s retail sales centers are located within 350 miles of Nobility’s Ocala manufacturing facility. Prestige owns the land at four of its retail sales centers and leases the remaining six 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.

Table of Contents

The retail sale of manufactured homes is a highly competitive business. Because of the 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 site-built housing.

Prestige does not itself finance customers’ new home purchases. Financing for home purchases has historically been available from other independent sources that specialize in manufactured housing lending and banks that finance manufactured home purchases. Prestige and Nobility are not required to sign any recourse agreements with any of these retail financing sources.

Investments in Limited Partnerships

The Company has a 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods South LLC (“Walden Woods”), which owns and operates a 236 residential lot manufactured home community named Walden Woods located in Homosassa, Florida. The majority owner of Walden Woods is the Company’s principal shareholder.

The Company has a 48.5% limited partnership investment in CRF III, Ltd. (“Cypress Creek”). Cypress Creek owns and operates a 403 residential lot manufactured home community located in Winter Haven, Florida.

Insurance and Financial Services

Mountain Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Home Centers, Inc., is an independent insurance agent and licensed mortgage loan originator. 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. 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 was deemed necessary for policy cancellations for fiscal years 2015 and 2014.

Mountain Financial ceased providing construction financing to buyers in 2015 after legislature changed permitted practices for financing construction loans.

Wholesale Sales to Manufactured Home Communities

Nobility 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. Sales to two publicly traded REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) which own multiple retirement communities in our market area accounted for $1,209,705 or 4% and $2,166,625 or 8% of our total sales in fiscal year 2015 and $304,345 or 1% and $1,700,910 or 8% of our total sales in fiscal year 2014. Other companies which own multiple retirement communities in our market area accounted for $3,120,000 or 11% of our total sales in fiscal year 2015 and $1,908,125 or 9% of our total sales in fiscal year 2014.

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 park dealers who do a high volume of business with Nobility. In order to stimulate sales, Nobility sells homes for display to related manufactured home communities on extended terms and recognizes revenue when the homes are sold to the end users. 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 are subject to governmental regulation at the federal, state and local levels. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has adopted national construction and safety standards that preempt 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. Modular homes manufactured by Nobility are required to comply with the Florida Building Code established by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations.

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 restrictions 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 the 18 manufacturers selling in the state, approximately 10 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.

Employees

As of January 4, 2016, the Company had 129 full-time employees, including 29 employed by Prestige. Approximately 73 employees are factory personnel compared to approximately 62 in such positions a year ago and 56 are in management, administrative, supervisory, sales and clerical positions (including 26 management and sales personnel employed by Prestige) compared to approximately 48 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 the information required by this item.

Table of Contents

As of January 28, 2016, Nobility owned two manufacturing plants:

Nobility’s Ocala facility is located on approximately 35.5 acres of land on which an additional two-story structure adjoining the plant serves as Nobility’s corporate offices. The plant, which is of metal construction, is in good condition and requires little maintenance.

Nobility’s Belleview facility is constructed of metal and concrete construction. The property is in good condition and requires little maintenance. The Belleview manufacturing plant was temporarily closed and its operations were consolidated into the Ocala manufacturing plant in the second quarter of 2009 due to the reduction in our manufacturing operations. The Company leased the Belleview plant to a third party in February 2011 until June 2015. This facility currently remains vacant.

Prestige owns the properties on which its Pace (closed February 2012), Panama City, Yulee, Punta Gorda and Ocala North, Florida retail sales centers are located. Prestige leases the property for its other 6 retail sales centers.

We are a party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any litigation nor to our knowledge, is any litigation threatened against us, the outcome of which would, in our judgment based on information currently available to us, have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

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

None.

General

Nobility focuses on home buyers 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 aggressively targeted the retirement community market, which is made up of retirees moving to Florida and typically purchasing or renting 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 2015 and 2014, Nobility continued to experience consumer demand for smaller, less expensive homes. Our three, four and five bedroom manufactured homes are favored by families, compared with the one, two and three-bedroom homes that typically appeal to the retirement buyers who reside in the manufactured housing communities.

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 the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, Majestic 21 secured $5,000,000 in financing from a commercial bank to support loan originations. The Company guarantees 50% of this financing. 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 became available when Majestic 21 fully utilized the proceeds from the $5,000,000 commercial loan. As of October 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of the note was $1,294,148 and the amount of collateral held by our joint venture partner for the Majestic 21 note payable was $2,167,170. The Company has also been able to sign dealer agreements with additional lenders who provide financing for our homes.

Prestige maintains several other outside financing sources that provide financing to retail homebuyers for its manufactured homes. The Company continually tries to develop relationships with new lenders, since established lenders will occasionally leave manufactured home lending.

Prestige’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mountain Financial, Inc., is an independent insurance agent and licensed loan originator. Mountain Financial provides automobile insurance, 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 years ended October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014 each consisted of fifty-two week periods.

Results of Operations

Total net sales in fiscal year 2015 were $27,836,804 compared to $21,152,259 in fiscal year 2014. The Company reported net income of approximately $2,915,000 in fiscal year 2015, compared to a net income of approximately $1,258,000 during fiscal year 2014.

The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics and percent of gross profit as of and for fiscal years ended October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014.

Sales to two publicly traded REITs and other companies which own multiple retirement communities in our market area accounted for approximately 23% and 18% of our sales for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014, respectively. Accounts receivable due from these customers were $2,754,599 at October 31, 2015.

The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida and the U.S. is improving. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2014 through October 2015 were up approximately 29% from the same period last year. Our sales and earnings continue to be affected by the challenging housing environment, the uncertainty of the U.S. and world economy, employment levels, consumer confidence and, in particular, the lack of available retail and wholesale financing. Constrained consumer credit and the lack of lenders in the industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, have limited many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes.

We understand that during this uncertain economic environment, maintaining our strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. Because of the recent years of very challenging business conditions in our market area, management will continue to evaluate all expenses and react in a manner consistent with maintaining our strong financial position.

The Company has specialized for 48 years in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes at its plant located in central Florida. With multiple retail sales centers, an insurance subsidiary, and investments in retirement manufactured home communities, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

Insurance agent commissions in fiscal year 2015 were $211,017 compared to $204,355 in fiscal year 2014. We have established appropriate reserves for policy cancellations based on numerous factors, including past transaction history with customers, historical experience and other information, which is periodically evaluated and adjusted as deemed necessary. In the opinion of management, no reserve was deemed necessary for policy cancellations at October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014.

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, manufactured 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 22% in fiscal year 2015 compared to 21% in fiscal year 2014. Our gross profit of $6,135,375 for 2015 increased 40% compared to $4,371,546 for 2014. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the increase in the average retail and wholesale selling price on each retail home sold.

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 increased approximately $133,000 from 2014 to 2015. As a percent of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 11% in fiscal year 2015 compared to 14% in fiscal year 2014. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2015 resulted from the increase in compensation expenses directly related to our increased sales.

The Company earned $138,469 from its joint venture, Majestic 21, in fiscal year 2015 compared to $134,921 in fiscal year 2014. 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 Company recorded a non-cash loss on its investment in Cypress Creek of $146,403 and $321,531 in fiscal year 2015 and 2014 respectively. No loss was recorded for Walden Woods as this investment was fully impaired. During 2015, the Company’s investment in Cypress Creek was reduced to zero from recurring operating losses.

The Company earned interest on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the amount of $59,985 in fiscal year 2015 compared to $63,137 in fiscal year 2014. Interest income is dependent on our cash balance and available rates of return.

The Company realized pre-tax income of $3,051,201 in 2015 compared to a pre-tax income of $1,261,934 in fiscal 2014.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $136,000 in 2015 compared to $4,000 in 2014. The Company was able to use net operating loss carry forwards to offset its current income tax liabilities.

As a result of the factors discussed above, net income in fiscal year 2015 was $2,915,395 or $0.72 per share and net income in fiscal year 2014 was $1,257,898 or $0.31 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $16,769,292 at October 31, 2015 compared to $14,116,412 at November 1, 2014. Short-term investments were $462,578 at October 31, 2015 compared to $496,444 at November 1, 2014. The increase in cash was due primarily to our net income. Working capital was $25,702,925 at October 31, 2015 as compared to $23,540,635 at November 1, 2014. 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. The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

The Company currently has no line of credit facility and does not believe that such a facility is currently necessary to its operations. The Company has no debt. The Company also has approximately $2.9 million of cash surrender value of life insurance which it may be able to access as an additional source of liquidity though the Company has not currently viewed this to be necessary. As of October 31, 2015, the Company continued to report a strong balance sheet which included total assets of approximately $42 million which was funded primarily by stockholders’ equity of approximately $39 million.

Looking ahead, the Company’s strong balance sheet and significant cash reserves accumulated in profitable years has allowed the Company to remain sufficiently liquid so as to allow continuation of operations and should enable the Company to take advantage of market opportunities when presented by an expected improvement in the overall and the industry specific economy in fiscal 2016 and beyond. Management believes it has sufficient levels of liquidity as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K to allow the Company to operate into the foreseeable future.

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 where judgment and estimates are applied.

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 revenue 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 revenue 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 was deemed necessary for policy cancellations at October 31, 2015 or November 1, 2014.

Investments in Retirement Communities

The Company has a 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods, which owns and operates a 236 residential lot manufactured home community located in Homosassa, Florida. The majority owner of Walden Woods is the Company’s principal shareholder.

The Company has a 48.5% limited partnership investment in Cypress Creek, which owns and operates a 403 residential lot manufactured home community located in Winter Haven, Florida.

These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are reviewed quarterly for impairment. 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 ASC No. 810-10.

Investment in Majestic 21

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. This guarantee was a requirement of the bank that provided a $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 Corporation (our joint venture partner) 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 Corporation 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 October 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of the note was $1,294,148 and the amount of collateral held by our joint venture partner for the Majestic 21 note payable was $2,167,170. 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.

10

Table of Contents

At October 31, 2015, there was approximately $170,573 in loan loss reserves or 1.19% of the portfolio in Majestic 21. The Majestic 21 joint venture partnership is monitoring loan loss reserves on a monthly basis and is adjusting the loan loss reserves as necessary. The Majestic 21 joint venture is reflected on 21st 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 adequate based upon its review of the Majestic 21 joint venture partnership’s financial statements.

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.

The primary tax planning strategy is the potential sale of real estate, primarily land not currently used in the operations of the Company, to generate taxable gains. The Company has assessed that these strategies could result in the realization of approximately $2.0 million of deferred tax assets. The amount of deferred tax assets above this amount are reserved with a valuation allowance. There no valuation allowance at October 31, 2015. The valuation allowance was approximately $975,000 at November 1, 2014.

The Company’s tax planning strategies include estimates as to the amount of gains on sales of properties that could be realized. The Company believes its estimates are reasonable and supportable but if circumstances change, these amounts could be affected which would impact the amount of net deferred taxes which would be supportable. The Company will continue to monitor these matters at each future reporting period.

Rebate Program

The Company has a rebate program for some dealers, based upon the number and type of homes purchased, 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we generally 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 October 31, 2015, we are not involved in any material unconsolidated entities (other than the Company’s investments in Majestic 21 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. 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.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Nobility Homes, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nobility Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2015. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nobility Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nobility Homes, Inc. (“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 licensed mortgage loan originator and Majestic Homes, Inc., (collectively the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of manufactured and modular homes to various dealerships, including its own retail sales centers, and manufactured housing communities throughout Florida. The Company has one manufacturing plant in operation that is located in Ocala, Florida. At October 31, 2015 Prestige operated ten Florida retail sales centers: Ocala (2), Chiefland, Auburndale, Inverness, Hudson, Tavares, Yulee, 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 U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may take in the future. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in the Company’s business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in the reported financial condition and results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect: valuation of pre-owned homes, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of long-lived assets, the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued expenses and contingencies, warranty reserve and stock-based compensation.

Fiscal Year – The Company’s fiscal year ends on the first Saturday on or after October 31. The years ended October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014 each 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 was deemed necessary for policy cancellations at October 31, 2015 or November 1, 2014.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Revenues by Products and Services – Revenues by net sales from manufactured housing, pre-owned homes, and insurance agent commissions for the years ended October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014 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 accounts is provided based on prior collection experiences and management’s analysis of specific accounts. At October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014, 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.

Investments – The Company’s investments consist of money market accounts as well as equity securities of a public company. Investments with maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. 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 valued at the Company’s cost to acquire the inventory plus refurbishment costs incurred to date to bring the inventory to a more saleable state. This amount is reduced by a valuation reserve which management believes results in inventory being valued at market.

Pre-owned homes are stated at cost or net realizable value. Homes taken as trade-ins are recorded at estimated actual cash value which approximates wholesale value. Other pre-owned homes are recorded at cost determined on the specific identification method and acquired from the Company’s joint venture partner, Majestic 21 Corporation and remarketed. Majestic 21 Corporation reimburses the Company for all costs related to these homes.

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

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 joint decisions with the joint venture partner are made which most significantly impact Majestic 21 economic performance 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 as of October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014. Based on management’s evaluation, there was no impairment of this investment at October 31, 2015 or November 1, 2014.

The Company entered into an arrangement in 2002 to repurchase certain homes. Under this arrangement or any other arrangement, 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. However, the Company buys back foreclosed/repossessed units and acts as a remarketing agent. It resells those units through the Company’s network of retail centers as we believe it benefits the historical loss experience of the joint venture. The only impact on the Company’s operations from this arrangement are commissions earned on the resale of these units and interest received from Majestic 21 for funds the company used to carry the units while in inventory.

See Note 13 for discussion of the Company’s guarantee of a $5 million note payable of Majestic 21.

Other Investments - The Company has a 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods South LLC (“Walden Woods”), which owns and operates a retirement manufactured home community located in Homosassa, Florida. The Company has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. The Company’s investment in Walden Woods is fully impaired. The majority owner of Walden Woods is the Company’s principal shareholder.

The Company has a 48.5% investment interest in a retirement manufactured home community, CRF III, Ltd. (Cypress Creek) located in Winter Haven, Florida. The Company has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. During 2015, the Company’s investment in Cypress Creek was reduced to zero from recurring operating losses.

See further discussion of these investments in Note 5.

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.

Company Owned Life Insurance – The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Company owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Warranty Costs – The Company provides for a warranty as the manufactured homes are sold. Amounts related to these warranties for fiscal years 2015 and 2014 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.

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 home 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, septic tanks and other setup costs and are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 8 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company has 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 some dealers based upon the number and type of home purchased, 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.

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 $243,000 and $262,500 for fiscal year 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Audit Fees – The Company generally records audit fees in the period in which services are provided. Audit fees relating to the finalization of the audit generally will be reflected in the financial statements of the subsequent year.

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.

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

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.

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income includes net income 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.

Major Customers – Sales to two publicly traded REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) which own multiple retirement communities in our market area accounted for $1,209,705 or 4% and $2,166,625 or 8% of our total sales in fiscal year 2015 and $304,345 or 1% and $1,700,910 or 8% of our total sales in fiscal year 2014. Other companies which own multiple retirement communities in our market area accounted for $3,120,000 or 11% of our total sales in fiscal year 2015 and $1,908,125 or 9% of our total sales in fiscal year 2014. Accounts receivable due from these customers were $2,754,599 and $1,963,520 at October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014, respectively.

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.

Concentration of Retail Financing Sources – The manufactured housing industry recently lost one of the few lenders to our industry. US Bank ceased indirect lending to the manufactured housing industry in late 2014 due to the regulatory environment and the small market size. Accordingly, only two national lenders that service the manufactured housing industry remain, with several other who specialize in government insured loans (Fannie, Freddie, FHA, VA, etc.). With only a few lenders dedicated to our industry, the loss of either of them could adversely affect our retail sales.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)), which requires an entity to recognize revenue from the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance addresses, in particular, contracts with more than one performance obligation, as well as the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer; and provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. With respect to public entities, this update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. We believe that our implementation of this guidance will have no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 Fair Values of Financial Investments

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

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

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:

The following table represents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are carried at fair value at October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014.

The level 3 non-recurring fair value investment represents the investment in Cypress Creek limited partnership.

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.

See Note 13 for discussion of the Company’s guarantee of a $5 million note payable of Majestic 21.

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

Distributions received from the joint venture amounted to $500,000 in fiscal year 2015. There were no distributions received from the joint venture in fiscal year 2014.

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.

Investment in Retirement Community Limited Partnerships – The Company has a 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods South LLC (“Walden Woods”), which owns and operates a retirement manufactured home community named Walden Woods located in Homosassa, Florida. The Company’s investment in Walden Woods is fully impaired. The majority owner of Walden Woods is the Company’s principal shareholder. The Company’s principal shareholder guaranteed the financing used to purchase Walden Woods Park, which created an implicit guarantee from the Company. The implicit guarantee caused Walden Woods Park to be a variable interest entity as defined in Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 810. The Company is considered to currently have an implicit guarantee with Walden Woods because it is a related party to the primary guarantor. In determining the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity, the Company has determined the principal shareholder has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Walden Woods. As a result, in accordance with ASC 810, Walden Woods has not been consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.

The Company has a 48.5% investment interest in a retirement manufactured home community, CRF III, Ltd. (Cypress Creek) located in Winter Haven, Florida. The Company has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. During 2015, the Company’s investment in Cypress Creek was reduced to zero from recurring operating losses.

These investments in Walden Woods and Cypress Creek are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and all allocations of profit and loss are on a pro-rata basis. Since 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’ or 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.

The following table summarizes the change in the investments for fiscal year 2015 and 2014:

The Company has no obligation to fund future operating losses of Walden Woods or Cypress Creek and accordingly, has not reduced the investment carrying value to less than zero.

NOTE 6 Inventories

The Company acquired a significant amount of repossessed pre-owned inventory in 2011. The Company will continue to sell the remaining pre-owned inventory and monitor and reduce, if necessary, the value of this inventory if circumstances so indicate in future periods. The Company could experience additional losses on the disposition of these homes beyond the level of the reserve recorded by the Company.

NOTE 9 Income Taxes

The Company computes income tax expense using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided, to the extent considered realizable by management, for basis differences of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes.

The Company follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of the state of Florida. The Company’s income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not reflect any amounts for interest and penalties in its 2015 or 2014 statements of operations, nor are any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at October 31, 2015 or November 1, 2014.

The provision for income taxes for the years ended consists of the following:

At November 1, 2014, the Company has unused net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $600,000. These net operating losses were applied to 2015 taxable income.

These amounts are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets under the following captions:

In assessing the ability to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In fiscal year 2015, the Company determined that a valuation reserve for the Company’s deferred tax assets was not considered necessary as the deferred tax assets were fully realizable. The decision was made based on the strong profitability for two consecutive years, the reduction in deferred tax assets in 2015, and the complete utilization of all net operating loss carryforwards. In fiscal 2014, the Company had determined that, due to negative evidence as a result of losses in numerous consecutive years through 2011, a valuation reserve was required to reduce the Company’s net deferred taxes to a level supportable by certain tax planning strategies that could be enacted to realize deferred tax assets, if necessary.

The primary tax planning strategy is the potential sale of real estate, primarily land not currently used in the operations of the Company, to generate taxable gains. The Company has assessed that these strategies could result in the realization of approximately $2.0 million of deferred tax assets. The amount of deferred tax assets above this amount are reserved with a valuation allowance. There no valuation allowance at October 15, 2015. The valuation allowance was approximately $975,000 at November 1, 2014.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s tax planning strategies include estimates as to the amount of gains on sales of properties that could be realized. The Company believes these amounts are reasonable and supportable but, if circumstances change, these amounts could be affected which would impact the amount of net deferred taxes which would be supportable. The Company will continue to monitor these matters at each future reporting period.

NOTE 10 Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized preferred stock may be issued in series with rights and preferences designated by the Board of Directors at the time it authorizes the issuance of such stock. The Company has never issued any preferred stock. Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company repurchased 34,800 and 0 shares of its common stock during fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 11 Stock Option Plan

In June 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and the Company’s shareholders later approved, the Nobility Homes, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), providing for the issuance of options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards to employees and non-employee directors. A total of 300,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the Plan, all of which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options. At October 31, 2015, options available for future grant under the plan were 300,000 and no options were outstanding.

As of October 31, 2015, the Company has 5,000 stock options outstanding that were granted pursuant to individual award agreements outside of the 2011 Plan. The Company does not expect to award additional stock options outside of the 2011 Plan in the future.

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. During fiscal years 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized approximately $9,000 and $8,000 in compensation cost related to stock options respectively.

A summary of information with respect to options granted is as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents total intrinsic value (of options in the money), which is the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal year 2015 and the exercise price times the number of shares, that would have been received by the option holders had the option holders exercised their options on October 31, 2015.

The following table summarizes information about the outstanding stock options at October 31, 2015:

The fair value of each option is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility of the stock, expected dividend payments, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The dividend yield was calculated by dividing the current annualized dividend by the option exercise price for each grant. The expected volatility was determined considering the Company’s historical stock prices for the fiscal year the grant occurred and prior fiscal years for a period equal to the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate was the rate available on zero coupon U.S. government obligations with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The expected life of the option was estimated based on the exercise history from previous grants.

As of October 31, 2015, there is $602 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of .14 years.

NOTE 12 Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan (the “Plan”) qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan covers employees who have met certain service requirements. The Company makes a discretionary matching contribution of up to 20% of an employee’s contribution, up to a maximum of 6% of an employee’s compensation. The contribution expense charged to operations in fiscal years 2015 was $20,000 and no contribution expense charged in 2014.

NOTE 13 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Operating Leases – The Company leases the property for several Prestige retail sales centers from various unrelated entities under operating lease agreements expiring through November 2017. The Company also leases certain equipment under unrelated operating leases. These leases have varying renewal options. Total rent expense for operating leases, including those with terms of less than one year, amounted to $189,333 and $183,631 in fiscal year 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Future minimum payments by year and in the aggregate, under the aforementioned leases and other non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year, as of October 31, 2015 are as follows for the fiscal years ending:

Majestic 21 – 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. 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 Corporation (our joint venture partner) 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 Corporation 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 October 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of the note was $1,294,148 and the amount of collateral held by our joint venture partner for the Majestic 21 note payable was $2,167,170. Should the collateral not be sufficient, the Company’s maximum exposure at October 31, 2015, would be 50% or $647,074 of the outstanding principal balance. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On October 31, 2015 there was approximately $170,573 in loan loss reserves or 1.19% of the portfolio in Majestic 21. The Majestic 21 joint venture partnership is monitoring loan loss reserves on a monthly basis and is adjusting the loan loss reserves as necessary. The Majestic 21 joint venture is reflected on 21st 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 adequate based upon its review of the Majestic 21 joint venture partnership’s financial statements.

Other Contingent Liabilities – 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. Accordingly, the Company has not made any accrual provisions for litigation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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

NOTE 14 Subsequent Events

On November 20, 2015 and December 16, 2015, the Company repurchased 6,475 and 4,800 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $74,786 and $57,600 respectively.

There were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure matters.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures require remedial action as of the Evaluation Date as outlined in management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting as outlined below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate and effective internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting involves policies and procedure that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of assets of the issuer; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer Company assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2015 based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and determined that its internal controls were effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

None.
