Working capital is $34,059,497 and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 3.3:1. Stockholders' equity is $47,740,536 and the book value per share of common stock increased to $13.52.

Terry Trexler, President, stated, "The Company's third quarter sales were strong and continue to reflect a robust housing market. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2020 through July 2021 were up approximately 11% from the same period last year. The lack of lenders in our industry, still adversely affects our results by limiting many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes.

During third quarter of 2021 our production of homes was impacted due to the challenges in hiring additional factory workers and the unpredictable absenteeism of the COVID-19 quarantine. These factors have continued in the fourth quarter of 2021. Also, production has incurred shortages in certain building products delaying the completion of the homes and has continued to experience inflation in most building products resulting in significant increases to our material costs and a corresponding decrease in gross profits. We have continued to focus on increasing production of homes due to the above challenges.

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 30 years 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 [email protected] OR [email protected]
