Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended April 30, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

The unaudited financial information included in this report includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.

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.

New home inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market value. The cost of finished home inventories is determined on the specific identification method and 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. This amount is reduced by a valuation reserve which management believes results in inventory being valued at market.

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

A breakdown of the elements of inventory is as follows:

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 measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Company has a 31.3% limited partnership interest in Walden Woods South LLC (“Walden Woods”), which is a retirement community. The carrying value of the Walden Woods investment is zero at April 30, 2016 and October 31, 2015, respectively.

The following is summarized financial information of Walden Woods*:

*Due to Walden Woods having a calendar year-end, the summarized financial information provided is from their most recent quarter prior to the period covered by this report.

On March 31, 2016, the Company sold its 48.5% limited partnership interest in CRF III, Ltd. (“Cypress Creek”) for $3,990,000. Cypress Creek is a retirement community. The Company received $960,000 cash, net of $40,000 costs paid, and a note receivable for $3,030,000, which is payable to the Company in $500,000 installments each July 1^st and January 1^st, plus interest at 3.0%. The Company recognized a gain of $3,990,000 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2016.

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.

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.

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.

Revenues by net sales from manufactured housing, pre-owned homes and insurance agent commissions are as follows:

Majestic 21 – The Company is 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. On April 28, 2016 the Company received a distribution of $1,000,005 from the joint venture. 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 April 30, 2016, the outstanding principal balance of the note was $1,104,760 and the amount of collateral held by our joint venture partner for the Majestic 21 note payable was $1,996,176. 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.

In April 2016, the Company received $788,566 under an escrow arrangement related to a Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement between 21^st Mortgage Corporation and the Company, These distributions from the escrow account, related to certain loans financed by 21^st Mortgage Corporation, are recorded in income by the Company as received, which has been the Company’s past practice.

Results of Operations

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2016 were $8,115,840, up 21% compared to $6,706,118 in the second quarter of 2015. Total net sales for the first six months of 2016 were $15,489,890 up 26% compared to $12,282,918 for the first six months of 2015.

The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics and percent of gross profit.

Sales to two publicly traded REITs and other companies which own multiple retirement communities in our market area accounted for approximately 22% and 45% of our sales for the first six months ended April 30, 2016 and May 2, 2015, respectively. Accounts receivable due from these customers were approximately $1,634,264 at April 30, 2016.

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 2015 through April 2016 were up approximately 27% 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 49 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 commission revenues in the second quarter of 2016 were $65,037 compared to $57,341 in the second quarter of 2015. Total insurance agent commission revenues for the first six months of 2016 were $116,431 compared to $104,811 for the first six months of 2015. The insurance agent commissions resulted from new policies and renewals generated. The Company establishes appropriate reserves for policy cancellations based on numerous factors, including past transaction history with customers, historical experience and other information, which is periodically evaluated and adjusted as deemed necessary. In the opinion of management, no reserve was deemed necessary for policy cancellations at April 30, 2016 and October 31, 2015.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 24% in second quarter of 2016 compared to 23% in the second quarter of 2015 and was 24% for the first six months of 2016 compared to 22% for the first six months of 2015. The gross profit in second quarter of 2016 was $1,965,568 compared to $1,538,168 in the second quarter of 2015 and was $3,722,003 for the first six months of 2016 compared to $2,710,937 for the first six months of 2015. The gross profit is dependent on the sales mix of wholesale and retail homes and number of pre-owned homes sold. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the increase in new home sales, increase in the wholesale selling price and increase in the average gross profit on each retail home sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 12% in second quarter of 2016 compared to 13% in the second quarter of 2016 and was 12% for the first six months of 2016 compared to 13% for the first six months of 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses in second quarter of 2016 was $1,011,699 compared to $877,449 in the second quarter of 2015 and was $1,792,393 for the first six months of 2016 compared to $1,625,398 for the first six months of 2015. The increase in expenses resulted from the increase in compensation expenses directly related to our increased sales.

Our earnings from Majestic 21 in the second quarter of 2016 were $35,702 compared to $35,237, for the second quarter of 2015. Our earnings from Majestic 21 for the first six months of 2016 were $69,110, compared to $68,815 for the first six months of 2015. The earnings from Majestic 21 represent the allocation of profit and losses which are owned 50% by 21st Mortgage and 50% by the Company.

We received $788,566 under an escrow arrangement related to the finance revenue sharing agreement between 21^st Mortgage Corporation and the Company in the second quarter of 2016.

We recognized a gain on the sale of our 48.5% limited partnership interest in CRF III, Ltd. (“Cypress Creek”) in the amount of $3,990,000 for the second quarter of 2016.

We earned interest of $22,044 for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $16,852 for the second quarter of 2015. For the first six months of 2016, interest earned was $34,091 compared to $29,972 in the first six months of 2015. The increase is primarily due to the note receivable acquired in the sale of the investment in retirement community.

The Company recorded an income tax expense in the amount of $2,128,376 in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to $4,294 in second quarter 2015. Income tax expense for the six months of 2016 was $2,480,940 compared to $5,501 for the second quarter of 2015.

We reported net income of $3,671,881 for the second quarter of 2016 or $0.91 per share, compared to $680,553 or $0.17 per share, for the second quarter of 2015. For the first six months of 2016 net income was $4,350,282 or $1.08 per share, compared to $1,160,341 or $0.29 per share, in the first six months of 2015.

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 $3.0 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. As of April 30, 2016, the Company continued to report a strong balance sheet which included total assets of approximately $48 million which was funded primarily by stockholders’ equity of approximately $43 million.
