About the Company  

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.    

We  pride  ourselves  on  providing  well-designed  and  affordably-built 
homes  that  are  comfortable,  pleasantly  decorated,  energy  efficient  and 
engineered  for  years  of  carefree  living.  The  Company’s  manufacturing 
plant and corporate headquarters are located in Ocala, Florida.    

Our  homes  are  available  in  approximately  100  active  models  sold 
under the trade names “Kingswood”, “Richwood”, “Tropic Isle”, “Regency

 The  primary  customers  of  Prestige  are  homebuyers  who  generally 
purchase manufactured homes to place on their own home sites. Prestige

built  housing,  financing  packages  are  available    through  21st  Mortgage 
Corporation and other outside financing sources that provide financing to 
retail  customers  who  purchase  the  Company’s  manufactured  homes  at

To Our Shareholders 

Your  Company’s  results  for  fiscal  year  2019  continue  to  reflect  an 
improving  environment  in  the  manufactured  housing  industry  in  the  State  of 
Florida.  The improving housing, financial and credit markets of our country and 
market  area,  coupled  with  the  lower  unemployment  and  better  consumer  and 
business confidence had a positive effect on the Company’s results.  

Net  sales  for  Nobility  during  fiscal  year  2019  were  up  11%  to 
$46,347,931 as compared to $41,878,186 recorded in fiscal year 2018.  Income 
from  operations  for  fiscal  year  2019  was  up  45%  to  $8,300,681  versus 
$5,722,826  in  the  same  period  a  year  ago.    Net  income  after  taxes  was 
$8,810,420 as compared to $4,963,632  for the same period last year.    Diluted 
earnings per share for fiscal year 2019 were $2.32 per share compared to $1.27 
per share last year.  

Nobility’s financial position  during fiscal year 2019 remains very strong 
with  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  certificates  of  deposit  and  short-term 
investments  of  $33,208,823  and  no  outstanding  debt.    Working  capital  is 
$37,872,687  and  our  ratio  of  current  assets  to  current  liabilities  is  4.2:1.   
Stockholders’  equity  is  $49,466,315  and  the  book  value  per  share  of  common 
stock is $13.50. 

The  demand  for  affordable  manufactured  housing  in  Florida  continues 
to  improve.  According  to  the  Florida  Manufactured  Housing  Association, 
shipments in Florida for the period from November 2018 through October 2019 
were  up  approximately  17%  from  the  same  period  last  year.    The  Company’s 
Prestige Home Centers, which contributed strong operating results in the 2019 
fiscal  year,  is  expected  to  experience  another  good  year.    Material  and  labor 
cost  increases  are  ongoing  challenges  facing  the  manufactured  housing 
industry, including your Company.  This year Nobility plans to continue making 
improvements  in  our  manufacturing  plant  and  Prestige  model  centers  to 
increase efficiency and productivity.   

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.   

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  and  an  insurance 
agency  subsidiary,  we  are  the  only  vertically  integrated  manufactured  home 
company headquartered in Florida.

We  appreciate  the  confidence  and  support  of  our  shareholders, 
suppliers and friends of the Company.  We would also like to express our thanks 
to  each  of  our  employees,  whose  dedication,  focus  and  energy  are  key  to 
achieving Nobility’s goals.  With this confidence and support, along with the able 
leadership from the Board  of Directors and our management team,  we believe 
your  Company  has  the  human,  financial  and  physical  resources  to  meet  the 
challenges ahead and the enthusiasm and determination to capitalize upon new 
opportunities as they develop.

Item 1.

Business 

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: 

•

•

•

•

Single-wide widths of 14 and 16 feet ranging from 35 to 72 feet in length; 

Double-wide widths of 20, 24, 26, 28 and 32 feet ranging from 32 to 72 feet in length; 

Triple-wide widths of 42 feet ranging from 60 to 72 feet in length; and 

Quad-unit with 2 sections 28 feet wide by 40 feet long and 2 sections 28 feet wide by 52 feet long. 

Our floor plans can be built as an on-frame modular home. We have been approved to build A.N.S.I. (American National Standards Institute) Park 
models less than 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 $130,000. 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 draperies. 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 in 
Ocala, Florida. 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 83% and 76% of Nobility’s sales during fiscal years 2019 and 
2018, respectively. 

Each of Prestige’s retail sales centers are located within 350 miles of Nobility’s Ocala manufacturing facility. Prestige owns the land at six of its retail 
sales centers and leases the remaining four retail sales centers from unaffiliated parties under leases with terms between one and three years with 
renewal options. 

In December 2017 Prestige executed a lease to open an eleventh retail sales center in north Florida and has not yet opened the retail sales center due to 
backlog at the manufacturing facility. 

2 

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. The 
Company’s internet-based marketing program generates numerous leads which are directed to the Prestige retail sales centers to assist a potential buyer 
in purchasing a home. 

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 

On October 30, 2019, the Company sold its 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods South to certain related parties and existing owners, including 
the Company’s Executive Vice President, who purchased the majority of the 31.3% interest. The transaction value was based on a 3rd party appraisal, 
and the Company received $1,510,000 in cash. The Company’s investment historically was accounted for under the equity method, which was 
suspended when the carrying amount was reduced to $nil due to continued losses. (see Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements included herein).     

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 2019 and 2018. 

Wholesale Sales to Manufactured Home Communities 

Nobility also sells its homes on a wholesale basis through two full-time salespersons to approximately 40 manufactured home communities and 
independent dealers. 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. 

Nobility does not generally offer consigned inventory programs or other credit terms to its independent 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. 

3 

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 20 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 10, 2020, the Company had 139 full-time employees, including 32 employed by Prestige. Approximately 81 employees are factory 
personnel compared to approximately 86 in such positions a year ago and 58 are in management, administrative, supervisory, sales and clerical positions 
(including 29 management and sales personnel employed by Prestige) compared to approximately 63 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.

Properties 

As of January 31, 2020, Nobility owned one manufacturing plant: 

Location
3741 SW 7th Street
Ocala, Florida

Approximate Size

72,000 sq. ft.

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. 

In April 2018, Nobility sold its Belleview facility that had been vacant since June 2015 for $635,000. 

Prestige owns the properties on which it’s Ocala North, Auburndale, Inverness, Panama City, Yulee and Punta Gorda, Florida retail sales centers are 
located. Prestige leases the property for its other 4 retail sales centers. In December 2017 Prestige executed a lease to open an eleventh retail sales center 
in north Florida and has not yet opened the retail sales center due to difficulty in hiring staff for the sales center. On June 28, 2019 the Company sold its 
former Pace retail sales center property located in Pace, Florida for total net proceeds of $1,078,325 and was included on the balance sheet in property 
held for sale (non-current asset) for $213,437 in fiscal year 2018. 

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings 

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.

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

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 2019 and 2018, 
Nobility continued to experience increased consumer demand for affordable manufactured homes in Florida. 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, a joint venture that the Company owns 50% of, secured $5,000,000 in financing from a commercial 
bank to support loan originations. The Company guaranteed 50% of this financing. The outstanding principal balance of $94,694 on the note was repaid 
on February 1, 2019, at which time the Company was relieved of its guarantee obligation. 

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 year ended November 2, 2019 (fiscal year 2019) and the year ended 
November 3, 2018 (fiscal year 2018) each consisted of a fifty-two week period. 

Results of Operations 

Total net sales in fiscal year 2019 were $46,347,931 compared to $41,878,186 in fiscal year 2018. The Company reported net income of $8,810,420 in 
fiscal year 2019, compared to a net income of $4,963,632 during fiscal year 2018. 

The following table summarizes certain key sales statistics and percent of gross profit as of and for fiscal years ended November 2, 2019 and 
November 3, 2018.

The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida continues to improve. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, 
shipments in Florida for the period from November 2018 through October 2019 were up approximately 17% 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, recent legislation may help improve this situation in the future. 

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 commissions in fiscal year 2019 were $272,366 compared to $273,747 in fiscal year 2018. 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 
November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018. 

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, septic tank and other expenses. 

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 29% in fiscal year 2019 compared to 25% in fiscal year 2018. Our gross profit of $13,653,000 for 2019 
increased 28% compared to $10,680,027 for 2018. The increase in gross profit percentage is primarily due to the increase in the average retail and 
wholesale selling price on each 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. 

As a percent of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses was 11% in fiscal year 2019 compared to 12% in fiscal 2018, which increased 
$395,118 from fiscal year 2018 to 2019. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2019 resulted from the increase in compensation 
expenses directly related to our increased sales. 

The Company earned interest in the amount of $556,142 in fiscal year 2019 compared to $362,121 in fiscal year 2018. Interest income is dependent on 
our cash balance and available rates of return. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the balances and the interest rate in the money market 
accounts and certificates of deposit. 

The Company earned $78,107 from its joint venture, Majestic 21, in fiscal year 2019 compared to $100,137 in fiscal year 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 $379,104 in fiscal year 2019 and $172,911 in fiscal year 2018 under an escrow arrangement related to a Finance Revenue Sharing 
Agreement between 21st Mortgage Corporation and the Company. The distributions from the escrow account, related to certain loans financed by 21st
Mortgage Corporation, are recorded in income by the Company as received, which has been the Company’s past practice. 

The Company realized pre-tax income of $11,779,529 in fiscal year 2019 compared to a pre-tax income of $6,605,462 in fiscal year 2018. 

8 

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2,969,109 in fiscal year 2019 compared to $1,641,830 in fiscal year 2018. 

Net income in fiscal year 2019 was $8,810,420 or $2.32 per basic and diluted share and net income in fiscal year 2018 was $4,963,632 or $1.27 per 
basic and diluted share. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Cash and cash equivalents were $22,533,965 at November 2, 2019 compared to $28,364,861 at November 3, 2018. Certificates of deposit were 
$10,153,575 at November 2, 2019 compared to $6,034,093 at November 3, 2018. Short-term investments were $521,283 at November 2, 2019 
compared to $537,767 at November 3, 2018. Working capital was $37,872,687at November 2, 2019 as compared to $38,128,057 at November 3, 2018. 
During fiscal 2019, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 212,396 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $4,585,861. In June 2019, the 
Company sold its former Pace retail sales center property for net proceeds of $1,078,325. On October 30, 2019, the Company sold its 31.3% investment 
interest in Walden Woods South LLC for $1,510,000 in cash. A cash dividend was paid from the Company’s cash reserves in March 2019 in the amount 
of $3,864,216. 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. 

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 $3.6 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 November 2, 2019, the Company continued to report a 
strong balance sheet which included total assets of approximately $58 million which was funded primarily by stockholders’ equity of approximately 
$49 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 2020 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: 

•

•

•

•

•

Its receipt of a down payment, 

Construction of the home is complete, 

Home has been delivered and set up at the retail home buyer’s site and title has been transferred to the retail home buyer, 

Remaining funds have been released by the finance company (financed sales transaction), remaining funds have been committed by the 
finance company by an agreement with respect to financing obtained by the customer, usually in the form of a written approval for 
permanent home financing received from a lending institution, (financed construction sales transaction) or cash has been received from the 
home buyer (cash sales transaction), and 

Completion of any other significant obligations. 

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. 

Sales of homes to affiliated entities that are subject to contingent payment terms are considered inventory consignment arrangements. Revenue from 
such arrangements is recognized when the homes are sold to the end users and payment is collected by the affiliated entity. 

See Note 4 “Related Party Transactions”. 

9 

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 November 2, 2019 or November 3, 2018. 

Inventory Impairment Reserve 

The Company has raw materials, work-in-process, finished home and pre-owned home inventory. The Company continually reviews its inventory to 
determine if there is a decline in the fair value below the cost basis. Historically, the Company has only recorded valuation allowances for its pre-owned 
home inventory. The Company acquires pre-owned homes from 21st Mortgage Corporation, trade-ins on new home sales, and other sources. 
Management primarily uses current sales values of new and pre-owned homes to determine market value. When the cost of a housing unit exceeds 
market value, a valuation reserve is recorded and the loss is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 

Investments in Retirement Communities 

Prior to its divestiture on October 30, 2019, the Company owned a 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods South LLC , a manufactured home 
community located in Homosassa, Florida. 

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. The outstanding principal balance of $94,694 on the note was repaid on February 1, 2019, at which time the Company 
was relieved of its guarantee obligation. 

10 

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. 

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 November 2, 2019, we are not involved 
in any material unconsolidated entities (other than the Company’s investments in Majestic 21). 

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, uncertain economic conditions, 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, possible labor shortages, possible materials shortages, increasing labor cost, cyclical nature of the manufactured housing industry, impact of 
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, impact of mandated tariffs on material prices, 
market disruptions resulting from terrorist or other attack and any armed conflict involving the United States and the impact of inflation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of 
Nobility Homes, Inc. 
Ocala, Florida 

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nobility Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) as of November 2, 2019, and November 3, 
2018, 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 November 2, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the 
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and its 
cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

Basis for Opinion 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal 
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company 
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to 
obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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. 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or 
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and 
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made 
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

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”), 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 
November 2, 2019 Prestige operated ten Florida retail sales centers: Ocala (2), Chiefland, Auburndale, Inverness, Hudson, Tavares, Yulee, Panama City 
and Punta Gorda. In December 2017 Prestige executed a lease to open an eleventh retail sales center in north Florida and has not yet opened the retail 
sales center due to difficulty in hiring staff for the sales center. 

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 year ended November 2, 2019 (fiscal year 2019) and the 
year ended November 3, 2018 (fiscal year 2018) each consisted of a fifty-two week period. 

Reclassification - Certain amounts in the fiscal year 2018 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year 
presentation. 

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue from its retail sales of new manufactured homes upon the occurrence of the following: 

•

•

•

•

•

Its receipt of a down payment, 

Construction of the home is complete, 

Home has been delivered and set up at the retail home buyer’s site, and title has been transferred to the retail home buyer, 

Remaining funds have been released by the finance company (financed sales transaction), remaining funds have been committed by the 
finance company by an agreement with respect to financing obtained by the customer, usually in the form of a written approval for 
permanent home financing received from a lending institution, (financed construction sales transaction) or cash has been received from the 
home buyer (cash sales transaction), and 

Completion of any other significant obligations. 

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 November 2, 2019 or November 3, 2018. 

Sales of homes to affiliated entities that are subject to contingent payment terms are considered inventory consignment arrangements. Revenue from 
such arrangements is recognized when the homes are sold to the end users and payment is collected by the affiliated entity. 

See Note 4 “Related Party Transactions”.

Revenues by Products and Services – Revenues by net sales from manufactured housing, pre-owned homes, and insurance agent commissions for the 
years ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 are as follows: 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Manufactured housing
Pre-owned homes
Insurance agent commissions

Total net sales

2019
$45,583,022
492,543
272,366
$46,347,931

2018
$40,708,950
895,489
273,747
$41,878,186

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all money market accounts and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original 
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 

Certificates of Deposit – Certificates of deposits are recorded at cost plus accrued interest and have maturities of twelve months or less. 

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 November 2, 2019 or November 3, 2018, in the opinion of management, all accounts 
were considered fully collectible and, accordingly, no allowance was deemed necessary. 

Accounts receivable fluctuate 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 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 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 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 21st Mortgage Corporation. This 
arrangement assists 21st Mortgage Corporation with liquidation 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. 

Inventory held at consignment locations by affiliated entities is included in the Company’s inventory on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. 
Consigned inventory was $1,540,949 and $1,140,982 as of November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

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. 

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

See Note 6 “Inventories”. 

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. 

Investment in Majestic 21 – Majestic 21 was formed in 1997 as a joint venture with our joint venture partner, an unrelated entity, 21st Mortgage 
Corporation (“21st 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 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 810, 
“Consolidations” (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. Based on management’s evaluation, there was no impairment of this investment at November 2, 2019 or November 3, 
2018. 

The Company entered into an arrangement in 2002 with 21st Mortgage to repurchase certain pre-owned 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 from 21st Mortgage foreclosed/repossessed units from the Majestic 21 portfolio and 
acts as a remarketing agent. It resells those units through the Company’s network of retail centers which management believes 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 earned for the Company’s carrying costs of the units while in inventory. 

See Note 15 “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities”. 

Other Investments - On October 30, 2019, the Company sold its 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods South to certain related parties and 
existing owners, including the Company’s Executive Vice President, who purchased the majority of the 31.3% interest. The transaction value was based 
on a 3rd party appraisal, and the Company received $1,510,000 in cash. The Company’s investment historically was accounted for under the equity 
method, which was suspended when the carrying amount was reduced to $nil due to continued losses. 

See Note 4 “Related Party Transactions”. 

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 typically receive any deposits from independent dealers. 

20 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

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. 

Warranty Costs – The Company provides for a warranty as the manufactured homes are sold. Amounts related to these warranties for fiscal years 2019 
and 2018 are as follows: 

Beginning accrued warranty expense
Less: reduction for payments
Plus: additions to accrual
Ending accrued warranty expense

2019
$ 125,000

(413,734) 
413,734
$ 125,000

2018
$ 125,000

(392,479) 
392,479
$ 125,000

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 warranty costs are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 

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. 

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. There were no rebates earned by dealers during fiscal years 2019 and 
2018. 

Advertising – Advertising for Prestige retail sales centers consists primarily of internet, newspaper, radio and television advertising. All costs are 
expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to approximately $140,520 and $169,000 for fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

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. 

21 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

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. 

Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income includes net income as well as other comprehensive income or loss. The Company’s other 
comprehensive income or loss consists of unrealized gains or losses 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 FASB ASC No. 280, “Segment Reporting.” No segment 
disclosures have been made as the Company considers its business activities as a single segment. 

Major Customers – Sales to one publicly traded REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), which owns multiple retirement communities in our market area 
accounted for $1,308,500 or 2% of our total net sales in fiscal year 2019 and $2,097,200 or 5% of our total net sales in fiscal year 2018. Three other 
companies which own multiple retirement communities in our market area accounted for $2,629,605 or 6% of our total net sales in fiscal year 2019 and 
$4,026,060 or 10% of our total net sales in fiscal year 2018. Accounts receivable due from these customers were $685,671 or 51% and $864,410 or 48% 
at November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, 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 –There are two national lenders that service the manufactured housing industry with several others who 
specialize in government insured loans (Fannie, Freddie, FHA, VA, etc.). With only a few lenders dedicated to our industry, the loss of any of them 
could adversely affect our retail sales. 

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): 
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (ASU 2015-17). ASU 2015-17 simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the 
separate classification of deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the consolidated balance sheet statement of 
financial position. The amendments in the update require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance 
sheet. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods there in and may be 
applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company prospectively adopted ASU 2015-17 beginning with its 
February 3, 2018 consolidated financial statements. As such, deferred tax assets and liabilities for fiscal year 2018 have been presented as noncurrent. 

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. 

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 amendments in this update are 
effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company 
expects the adoption of this amendment to recognize changes in the fair value of equity investment in earnings. 

22 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The amendments require an 
entity to measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary 
course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments do not apply to inventory that is 
measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is 
measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. The amendments in this update are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this ASU in the quarter ended February 3, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on its 
consolidated financial statements. 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09), 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 together with subsequent updates, 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, together with 
subsequent amendments, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is 
not permitted. 

The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict 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. Using this principle, a 
comprehensive framework was established for determining how much revenue to recognize and when it should be recognized. To be consistent with this 
core principle, an entity is required to apply the following five-step approach: 

1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer; 

2. Identify each performance obligation in the contract; 

3. Determine the transaction price; 

4. Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation; and 

5. Recognize revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. 

The Company’s revenue comes substantially from the sale of manufactured housing, modular housing and park models, along with freight billed to 
customers, parts sold and aftermarket services. 

The impact of the Company’s initial adoption of ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method did not have a material impact on its 
consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3 Fair Values of Financial Investments 

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 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 table represents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are carried at fair 
value at November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018.

TLT, Inc. – Our President and Chairman of the Board of Directors (“President”) and the Executive Vice President each own 50% of the stock of TLT, 
Inc. TLT, Inc. is the general partner of limited partnerships which are developing manufactured housing communities in Central Florida (the “TLT 
Communities”). Our President owns between a 24.75% and a 49.5% direct and indirect interest in each of these limited partnerships. Our Executive 
Vice President owns between a 49.5% and a 57.75% direct and indirect interest in each of these limited partnerships. The TLT Communities have 
purchased manufactured homes exclusively from the Company since 1990. Sales to TLT Communities were not significant during fiscal years 2019 and 
2018. 

Walden Woods South - On October 30, 2019, the Company sold its 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods South LLC, which owns the Walden 
Woods South retirement community, to certain related parties and existing owners. Prior to the sale, the Company’s President directly owned 59.43% of 
Walden Woods South LLC. After the sale, the Company’s President and Executive Vice President directly own 59.43% and 23.04%, respectively, of 
Walden Woods South LLC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Repurchase of Common Stock – In June 2019, the Company repurchased 100,000 shares of common stock from our President at $21.95 per share. 

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 15 “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities”. 

We received no distributions from the joint venture in fiscal year 2019 or 2018. 

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 – On October 30, 2019, the Company sold its 31.3% investment interest in Walden Woods 
South to certain related parties and existing owners, including the Company’s Executive Vice President, who purchased the majority of the 31.3% 
interest. The transaction value was based on a 3rd party appraisal, and the Company received $1,510,000 in cash. The Company’s investment 
historically was accounted for under the equity method, which was suspended when the carrying amount was reduced to $nil due to continued losses. 

NOTE 6 Inventories 

The Company acquired a significant amount of repossessed pre-owned (Buy Back) inventory in 2011. Other pre-owned homes are periodically acquired 
(Repossessions) as a convenience to the Company’s joint venture partner. Pre-owned homes are also taken as trade-ins on new home sales (Trade-Ins). 
This inventory consists of individual homes and homes on a real estate parcel. The Company continually monitors this inventory and records a valuation 
allowance where necessary on a unit specific basis which management believes results in inventory being valued at market. The Company could 
experience additional losses on the disposition of these homes beyond the level of the reserve recorded by the Company.

NOTE 10 Proceeds Received Under Escrow Arrangement 

The Company received $379,104 in fiscal year 2019 and $172,911 in fiscal year 2018 under an escrow arrangement related to a Finance Revenue 
Sharing Agreement between 21st Mortgage Corporation and the Company. The distributions from the escrow account, related to certain loans financed 
by 21st Mortgage Corporation, are recorded in income by the Company when received, which has been the Company’s past practice. 

NOTE 11 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 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 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 2019 or 2018 statements of operations, nor are any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at November 2, 2019 and 
November 3, 2018.

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. For fiscal years 2019 and 2018, 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. 

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) (the “Act”). The Act includes a number of 
changes in existing tax law impacting businesses including, among other things, a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 
21%. The rate reduction took effect on January 1, 2018. 

NOTE 12 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 212,396 and 123,838 shares of its common stock during fiscal 
years 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

NOTE 13 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 November 2, 2019, 297,250 options were available for future grant under the plan and 2,750 
options were outstanding. 

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 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized 
compensation cost related to the vesting of stock options of approximately $21,000 and $1,600 respectively.

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 2019 and the exercise price times the number of shares, that would have been 
received by the option holder had the option holder exercised their options on November 2, 2019.

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. 

NOTE 14 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, up to a maximum of 6% of an 
employee’s compensation. The contribution expense charged to operations amounted to approximately $170,000 and $88,000 in fiscal years 2019 and 
2018, respectively. 

NOTE 15 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 December 2020. 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 $162,929 and $161,105 in fiscal 
year 2019 and 2018, 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 November 2, 2019 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. The outstanding principal balance of $94,694 on the note was repaid on February 1, 2019, at which time the 
Company was relieved of its guarantee obligation. 

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.

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 November 2, 2019 based on criteria 
established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) 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 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial 
reporting.
