Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended May 4, 2019 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 May 4, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2018.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting PronouncementsEffective November 4, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of November 4, 2018 did not change our revenue recognition as the majority of our revenues continue to be recognized when the customer takes control of our product. As we did not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to our product revenues, no adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption.

Under the new revenue standards, revenues are recognized when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

Product revenues

We sell our products to the end user or wholesale distributors.

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that we would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial. We treat shipping and handling costs performed after a customer obtains control of the product as a fulfillment cost. We have identified one performance obligation in our contracts with customers which is the delivery of product to our customers. The transaction price is recognized in full when we deliver the product to our customer, which is the point at which we have satisfied our performance obligation.

Reserves for Discounts and Allowances

Revenues from product sales are recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered within contracts with our customers and distributors. Our process for estimating reserves established for these variable consideration components do not differ materially from our historical practices.

Product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, are generally characterized in the following categories: discounts, contractual adjustments and returns.

These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to our customer) or a liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than our customer). Our estimates of reserves established for variable consideration typically utilize the most likely method and reflect our historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. The transaction price, which includes variable consideration reflecting the impact of options, discounts and allowances, may be subject to constraint and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from our estimates. If actual results vary, we adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment.

For additional information on our revenues, please read Note 7, Revenues by Products and Services, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that lessees should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. Lessees shall classify all leases as finance or operating leases. This new accounting guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related obligations on its consolidated financial statements.

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 fair market value.

The Company acquired certain repossessed pre-owned inventory (Buy Back Inventory) in 2011 as part of an Amendment of the Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement with 21st Mortgage Corporation. This inventory is valued at the Company’s cost to acquire determined on the specific identification method, plus refurbishment costs (any item on the home that needs to be repaired or replaced) incurred to date to bring the inventory to a more saleable state. The Buy Back inventory amount is reduced where necessary on a unit specific basis by a valuation reserve which management believes results in inventory being valued at market.

Other pre-owned homes are acquired (Repossessions Inventory) as a convenience to the Company’s joint venture partner, 21st Mortgage Corporation. This inventory has been repossessed by 21st Mortgage Corporation or through mortgage foreclosure. The Company acquires this inventory at the amount of the uncollected balance of the financing at the time of the foreclosure/repossessions by 21st Mortgage Corporation. The Company records this inventory at cost determined on the specific identification method. All of the refurbishment costs are paid by 21st Mortgage Corporation. This arrangement assists 21st Mortgage Corporation with liquidating their repossessed inventory. The timing of these repurchases by the Company is unpredictable as it is based on the repossessions 21st Mortgage Corporation incurs in the portfolio. When the home is sold, the Company retains the cost of the home, an interest factor on the cost of the home and a sales commission for the sale of the home, from the sales proceeds. Any additional proceeds are paid to 21st Mortgage. Any shortfall from the proceeds to cover these amounts is paid by 21st Mortgage to the Company. As the Company has no risk of loss on the sale, there is no valuation allowance necessary for this inventory. Pre-owned homes are also taken as trade-ins on new home sales (Trade-in Inventory). This inventory is recorded at estimated actual wholesale value which is generally lower then market value, determined on the specific identification method, plus refurbishment costs incurred to date to bring the inventory to a more saleable state. The Trade-in inventory amount is reduced where necessary on a unit specific basis by a valuation reserve which management believes results in inventory being valued at market.

Note 4

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes 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 Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 820 “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820).

ASC 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 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 820 fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

 

10


Table of Contents
   

Level 1 - Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 - Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

   

Level 3 - Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following tables represent the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are carried at fair value.

Revenues by Products and Service

The Company operates in one business segment, which is manufactured housing and ancillary services. The Company considers there to be revenue concentration risks for distribution of its products where net product revenues exceed 10% of consolidated net product revenues. The concentration of the Company’s distribution net product revenues below may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and results of operations if sales in the respective distribution channels experience difficulties. The Company adopted the requirements of ASC 606 on November 5, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. See Note 1 – Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements for additional discussion.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2019 were up 43% to $12,742,688 compared to $8,922,264 in the second quarter of 2018, driven primarily by an increase in new homes sold at the Company’s sales centers. Total net sales for the first six months of 2019 were up 28% to $23,782,462 compared to $18,568,082 for the first six months of 2018. Net income for the first six months of 2019 was $3,355,531 compared to a net income of $2,151,841 for the first six months of 2018. Homes sold to independent dealers continued to decline primarily due to the Company’s focus on building more homes for Prestige Home Centers (our owned retail sales centers) because of the increase in retail sales.

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

The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida and the U.S. continues to improve. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2018 through April 2019 were up approximately 26% from the same period last year. Constrained consumer credit and the lack of lenders in our industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, still affects our results by limiting many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes. However, legislation may help improve this situation in the future.

We understand that maintaining our strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. Because of very challenging business conditions during economic recessions in our market area, management will continue to evaluate all expenses and react in a manner consistent with maintaining our strong financial position, while exploring opportunities to expand our distribution and manufacturing operations.

Our many years of experience in the Florida market, combined with home buyers’ increased need for more affordable housing, should serve the Company well in the coming years. Management remains convinced that our specific geographic market is one of the best long-term growth areas in the country.

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

Insurance agent commission revenues in the second quarter of 2019 were $76,634 compared to $69,409 in the second quarter of 2018. Total insurance agent commission revenues for the first six months of 2019 were $136,861 compared to $127,484 for the first six months of 2018. The increase in insurance agent commissions in the first six months of 2019 were due to more new policies and renewals generated which affects agent commission earned. 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 May 4, 2019 and November 3, 2018.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 27% in second quarter of 2019 compared to 26% for the second quarter of 2018 and was 27% for the first six months of 2019 compared to 24% for the first six months of 2018. The gross profit in the second quarter of 2019 was $3,446,412 compared to $2,311,306 in the second quarter of 2018 and was $6,415,415 for the first six months of 2019 compared to $4,528,245 for the first six months of 2018. 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 for the six months of 2019 is primarily due to the increase in the overall number of homes sold at the retail sales centers and an increase in the average new manufactured home price at both retail and wholesale.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 10% in second quarter of 2019 compared to 13% in the second quarter of 2018 and was 11% for the first six months of 2019 compared to 12% for the first six months of 2018. Selling, general and administrative expenses in second quarter of 2019 was $1,310,686 compared to $1,119,359 in the second quarter of 2018 and was $2,507,858 for the first six months of 2019 compared to $2,246,141 for the first six months of 2018. The dollar increase in expenses in 2019 resulted from the increase in variable and accrued compensation expenses which were direct results of increased sales.

We earned interest income of $145,026 for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $81,446 for the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of 2019, interest income was $297,469 compared to $117,383 in the first six months of 2018. The increase is primarily due to higher interest rates in the money market accounts and certificates of deposit.

Our earnings from Majestic 21 in the second quarter of 2019 were $21,231 compared to $27,266, for the second quarter of 2018. Our earnings from Majestic 21 for the first six months of 2019 were $40,755 compared to $50,315 for the first six months of 2018. 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.

We received $108,119 in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $55,640 in the second quarter of 2018 under an escrow arrangement related to a Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement between 21st Mortgage Corporation and the Company. The distributions from the escrow arrangement, relates to certain loans financed by 21st Mortgage Corporation, are recorded as income by the Company when received.

The Company realized pre-tax income of $4,496,510 in first six months of 2019 compared to a pre-tax income of $2,721,538 in first six months of 2018.

The Company recorded an income tax expense in the amount of $619,581 in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $431,056 in second quarter 2018. Income tax expense for the six months of 2019 was $1,140,979 compared to $569,697 for the six months of 2018.

We reported net income of $1,819,725 for the second quarter of 2019 or $0.47 per share, compared to $1,135,605 or $0.29 per share, for the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of 2019 net income was $3,355,531 or $0.87 per share, compared to $2,151,841 or $0.54 per share, in the first six months of 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $23,066,346 at May 4, 2019 compared to $28,364,861 at November 3, 2018. Certificates of deposit were $8,079,072 at May 4, 2019 compared to $6,034,093 at November 3, 2018. Short-term investments were $578,250 at May 4, 2019 compared to $537,767 at November 3, 2018. Working capital was $37,245,662 at May 4, 2019 as compared to $38,128,057 at November 3, 2018. A cash dividend was paid from our cash reserves in March 2019 in the amount of $3,864,216. During the first six months on 2019, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 13,703 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $302,115. We own the entire inventory for our Prestige retail sales centers which includes new, pre-owned and repossessed or foreclosed homes and do not incur any third party floor plan financing expenses. The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

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 $3.6 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 May 4, 2019, the Company continued to report a strong balance sheet which included total assets of approximately $56 million and stockholders’ equity of approximately $48 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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