Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended February 5, 2022 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 months ended February 5, 2022 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 6, 2021.
 
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.
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
st
Mortgage 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, 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.
New 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 $718,439 and $794,766 as of February 5, 2022 and November 6, 2021, 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.

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.

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:

Results of Operations
Total net sales in first quarter of 2022 increased 19% to $10,808,270 compared to $9,071,511 in first quarter of 2021. The Company reported net income of $1,157,034 in first quarter of 2022, compared to a net income of $1,065,765 in first quarter 2021. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2021 through January 2022 were up approximately 24% from the same period last year. During first quarter of 2022, we continued to experience the negative impact of limitations being placed on certain key production materials from suppliers, the delay or lack of key components from vendors as well as back orders, delayed shipments, price increases and labor shortages. Production has incurred shortages in many building products, which has limited production and delayed the completion of the homes both at the manufacturing plant and the set up process in the field. In addition, we have continued to experience record inflation in most building products, resulting in increases to our material and labor costs and a corresponding decrease in gross profits. We expect that these challenges will continue for much of 2022 and potentially beyond until the industry supply chain normalizes.
The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics and percent of gross profit.

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, 2021 the Company celebrated its 54th anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes. With multiple retail sales centers in Florida for over 31 years and an insurance agency subsidiary, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

Insurance agent commission revenues in first quarter of 2022 were $66,988 compared to $65,971 in first quarter of 2021. Revenues are generated by new and renewal policies being written 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 February 5, 2022 and November 6, 2021.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 25% in first quarter of 2022 compared to 28% for first quarter of 2021. The gross profit in first quarter of 2022 was $2,728,228 compared to $2,497,447 in first quarter of 2021. The gross profit is dependent on the sales mix of wholesale and retail homes and number of
pre-owned
homes sold. The reduction in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primary due to the continued inflation, shortages in certain building products, labor shortages and increased labor cost.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was 13% in first quarter of 2022 compared to 14% in first quarter of 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses in first quarter of 2022 was $1,416,543 compared to $1,273,381 in first quarter of 2021. The dollar increase in expenses in 2022 were the direct results of increases to variable employee benefits compensation due to the increase in sales.
We earned interest income of $74,680 for first quarter of 2022 compared to $30,656 for first quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily due to the interest earned from the sale of
pre-owned
(repossessed) inventory acquired from the Company’s joint venture partner, 21st Mortgage Corporation. When the home is sold, the Company retains an interest factor on the cost of the homes from the sales proceeds.
Our earnings from Majestic 21 in first quarter of 2022 were $12,557 compared to $13,708 for first quarter of 2021. 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 earnings from the Majestic 21 loan portfolio will continue to decrease due to the amortization, maturity and payoff of the loans.
We received distributions of $118,045 in first quarter of 2022 compared to $45,868 in first quarter of 2021. 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 first quarter of 2022 of $1,526,430 as compared to $1,401,574 in first quarter of 2021.
The Company recorded an income tax expense in the amount of $369,396 in first quarter of 2022 as compared to $335,809 in first quarter 2021.
We reported net income of $1,157,034 for first quarter of 2022 or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, compared to $1,065,765 or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, for first quarter of 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $38,932,257 at February 5, 2022 compared to $36,126,059 at November 6, 2021. Certificates of deposit were $0 at February 5, 2022 compared to $2,093,015 at November 6, 2021. Short-term investments were $617,835 at February 5, 2022 compared to $621,928 at November 6, 2021. Working capital was $37,315,738 at February 5, 2022 as compared to $35,563,355 at November 6, 2021. We own the entire inventory for our Prestige retail sales centers, which includes new and
pre-owned
homes, and do not incur any third party floor plan financing expenses. As of February 5, 2022 the Company has incurred approximately $112,000 of the estimated construction cost of the approximately $1.1 allocated to build an 11,900 square foot frame shop on the Company’s property in Ocala, Florida.
