Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements for the three and six months ended May 2, 2020 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 2, 2020 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 2, 2019.

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 was effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, which resulted in the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related obligations on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The amendments require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, resulting in recognition changes in the fair value of equity investment in earnings.

Note 2

Inventories

New home inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable 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 net realizable 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 21^st 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 21^st Mortgage Corporation or through mortgage foreclosure. The Company acquired 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 21^stMortgage Corporation. This arrangement assists 21^st Mortgage Corporation with liquidation of their repossessed inventory. The timing of these repurchases by the Company is unpredictable as it is based on the repossessions 21^st 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 21^st Mortgage. Any shortfall from the proceeds to cover these amounts is paid by 21^st Mortgage to the Company. As the Company has no risk of loss on the sale, there is no valuation allowance necessary for this inventory.

Inventory held at consignment locations by affiliated entities is included in the Company’s inventory on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Consigned inventory was $1,822,948 and $1,540,949 as of May 2, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively.

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 than 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.

Other inventory costs are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. A breakdown of the elements of inventory is as follows:


	May 2, 2020			November 2, 2019

Short-term Investments

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


	May 2, 2020
	Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Estimated Fair Value
Equity securities in a public company	$	167,930	$	165,910	$	—	$	333,840


	November 2, 2019
	Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Estimated Fair Value
Equity securities in a public company	$	167,930	$	353,353	$	—	$	521,283

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

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:

•

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.


	May 2, 2020
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Equity securities in a public company	$	333,840	$	—	$	—

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.

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

Note 7

Operating Leases

The Company leases the property for several Prestige retail sales centers from various unrelated entities under operating lease agreements expiring through December 2020. The Company also leases certain equipment under unrelated operating leases. These leases have varying renewal options.

On November 3, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method applied to leases that were in place as of November 3, 2019. Results for reporting periods beginning after November 3, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 840.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows for the historical lease classification to be carried forward, the Company’s assessments on whether a contract is or contains a lease, and the Company’s initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the new standard. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify.

To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at November 3, 2019, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”). The Company determined the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used mortgage interest rates for similar terms.

Right of use assets are included as a non-current asset in the amount of $733,867, net of amortization in the unaudited condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 2, 2020.

Minimum rental payments under operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Individual components of the total lease cost incurred by the Company in the amount of $54,285 and $104,189 for the three and six months ended May 2, 2020, respectively.

The amount of future minimum lease payments under operating are as follows:

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company applied for and received funding in the amount of approximately $1,750,000 under the CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The Company promptly returned the funds, as management determined that the loan was not necessary to support its ongoing operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2020 were $10,202,502 compared to $12,742,688 in the second quarter of 2019. Total net sales for the first six months of 2020 were $19,646,354 compared to $23,782,462 for the first six months of 2019. The Company reported net income of $1,550,004 in the second quarter of 2020, compared to a net income of $1,819,725 during the second quarter of 2019. Net income for the first six months of 2020 was $2,950,145 compared to a net income of $3,355,531 for the first six months of 2019. The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and shutdowns. Although we were deemed an essential business and never closed our retail sales centers, these measures likely had a negative impact on customer traffic (and corresponding sales) within our centers and the operations of our business partners. While our manufacturing operations have continued, an outbreak in our manufacturing facility would negatively impact our ability to produce new homes. There is considerable uncertainty regarding the impact, and expected duration, of such measures and potential future measures, which could cause disruptions to our business in the future.

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

The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida has been adversely impacted by COVID-19 and actions taken in response thereto. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2019 through April 2020 were down approximately 13% from the same period last year. In addition, 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.

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, 2020 the Company celebrated its 53rd anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes. With multiple retail sales centers for over 30 years and an insurance agency subsidiary, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

Insurance agent commission revenues in the second quarter of 2020 were $72,772 compared to $76,634 in the second quarter of 2019. Total insurance agent commission revenues for the first six months of 2020 were $139,520 compared to $136,861 for the first six months of 2019. The increase in insurance agent commissions in the first six months of 2020 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 2, 2020 and November 2, 2019.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 31% in second quarter and for the first six months of 2020 compared to 27% for the second quarter and the first six months of 2019. The gross profit in the second quarter of 2020 was $3,137,495 compared to $3,446,412 in the second quarter of 2019 and was $6,027,344 for the first six months of 2020 compared to $6,415,415 for the first six months of 2019. 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 as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to the increase in the average retail home price and the decrease in the material cost of each home manufactured.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 12% in second quarter of 2020 compared to 10% in the second quarter of 2020 and was 13% for the first six months of 2020 compared to 11% for the first six months of 2019. Selling, general and administrative expenses in second quarter of 2020 was $1,222,628 compared to $1,310,686 in the second quarter of 2019 and was $2,478,772 for the first six months of 2020 compared to $2,507,858 for the first six months of 2019. The dollar decrease in expenses in 2020 resulted from the decrease in variable and accrued compensation expenses which were direct results of decreased sales.

We earned interest income of $84,273 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $145,026 for the second quarter of 2019. For the first six months of 2020, interest income was $186,156 compared to $297,469 in the first six months of 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the decline in the investment rates and the decrease in the monies invested.

Our earnings from Majestic 21 in the second quarter of 2020 were $20,398 compared to $21,231, for the second quarter of 2019. Our earnings from Majestic 21 for the first six months of 2020 were $40,270 compared to $40,755 for the first six months of 2019. 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 distributions of $189,285 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $108,119 in the second quarter of 2019 and $272,394 for the first six months of 2020 compared to $212,607 for the first six months of 2019. The distributions are from an escrow arrangement related to a Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement between 21^st Mortgage Corporation and the Company. The distributions from the escrow arrangement, relates to certain loans financed by 21^st Mortgage Corporation, are recorded as income by the Company when received.

The Company realized pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2020 of $2,040,739 as compared to $2,439,306 in the second quarter of 2019. The pre-tax income for the first six months of 2020 was $3,886,460 as compared to $4,496,510 in first six months of 2019.

The Company recorded an income tax expense in the amount of $490,735 in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to $619,581 in second quarter 2019. Income tax expense for the six months of 2020 was $936,315 compared to $1,140,979 for the six months of 2019.

We reported net income of $1,550,004 for the second quarter of 2020 or $0.43 per share, compared to $1,819,725 or $0.47 per share, for the second quarter of 2019. For the first six months of 2020 net income was $2,950,145 or $0.81 per share, compared to $3,355,531 or $0.87 per share, in the first six months of 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $16,976,460 at May 2, 2020 compared to $22,533,965 at November 2, 2019. Certificates of deposit were $10,215,997 at May 2, 2020 compared to $10,153,575 at November 2, 2019. Short-term investments were $333,840 at May 2, 2020 compared to $521,283 at November 2, 2019. Working capital was $35,600,644 at May 2, 2020 as compared to $37,872,687 at November 2, 2019. A cash dividend was paid from our cash reserves in March 2020 in the amount of $3,630,970. During the first six months on 2020, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 33,100 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $822,450. We own the entire inventory for our Prestige retail sales centers which includes new, pre-owned and repossessed or foreclosed homes and do not incur any third party floor plan financing expenses. We have 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 $3.7 million of cash surrender value of life insurance which we could access as an additional source of liquidity although we have not currently viewed this to be necessary. As of May 2, 2020, the Company continued to report a strong balance sheet which included total assets of approximately $53 million and stockholders’ equity of approximately $48 million.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

During the second quarter of 2020, we applied for and received funding in the amount of approximately $1,750,000 under the CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). We promptly returned the funds, as management determined that the loan was not necessary to support its ongoing operations.
