Terry Trexler, President, stated, "The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida has been adversely impacted by COVID-19 and actions taken in response thereto. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2020 through January 2021 were equal to the same period last year. In addition, the lack of lenders in our industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, still adversely affects our results by limiting many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes. Since May of 2020 the Company has experienced unprecedented inflation in forest products, with no immediate relief in sight resulting in significate increases to our material costs. The Company is monitoring these costs and have adjusted our selling prices accordingly to help offset the higher costs. The Company purchased the land for the Tavares retail sales center in January 2021 for $245,000 and in February 2021 purchased land in Ocala for a future retail sales center for $1,040,000.

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

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

On June 5, 2020 the Company celebrated its 53rd anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes. With multiple retail sales centers and an insurance agency subsidiary, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

Management will not hold a conference call. If you have any questions, please call Terry or Tom Trexler @ 800-476-6624 ext 121 or terry@nobilityhomes.com or tom@nobilityhomes.com.
