PART I

Item 1.Description of Business

Nobility Homes, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated in 1967, designs, manufactures and sells a broad line of manufactured homes through a network of 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.

Manufactured Homes

Nobility’s homes are available in approximately 100 active models sold under the trade names “Kingswood,” “Springwood,” “Springwood Special,” “Tropic Isle Special,” “Regency Manor Special,” and “Special Edition.” The homes, ranging in size from 700 to 2,650 square feet and containing from one to five bedrooms, are available in:

double-wide widths of 24, 26, 28 and 32 feet ranging from 32 to 76 feet in length;
triple-wide widths of 36, 38 and 42 feet ranging from 46 to 72 feet in length; and
quad-unit 2 sections 28 feet long by 48 feet long and 2 sections 28 feet long by 52 feet long.

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 $100,000. Most of the prices of Nobility’s homes are considered by it to be within the low to medium price range of the industry.

Both of Nobility’s manufacturing plants utilize assembly line techniques in manufactured home production. Both plants manufacture and assemble 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 drapes. 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’s two manufacturing plants operated at an average of approximately 30%22% of their single shift capacity in fiscal 2007, 57%year 2008 and 30% in 2006 and 65% in 2005, respectively.fiscal year 2007.

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 plants. During the last threetwo fiscal years, substantially all of Nobility’s sales were made in Florida.

Retail Sales

Prestige Home Centers, Inc. operates 1817 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 92%, 86%88% and 83%92% of Nobility’s sales during fiscal 2007, 2006year 2008 and 2005,2007, respectively.

Each of Prestige’s retail sales centers is located within 350 miles of Nobility’s two manufacturing facilities. Prestige owns the land at fourfive of its retail sales centers and leases the remaining 1412 retail sales centers from unaffiliated parties under leases with terms between one and three years with renewal options.

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.

In fiscalSince 1997, Nobility entered into a joint venture agreementhas partnered with 21st Century21st Mortgage Corporation to provide financing to retail customers purchasing homes from Prestige. Additionally, financing for home purchases is provided byavailable from several other independent sources that specialize in manufactured housing lending and numerous banks that finance manufactured home purchases. Prestige and Nobility are not required to sign any recourse agreements with any of these retail financing sources, norexcept 21st Mortgage Corporation. As a condition to the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase homes from defaulted loans which were financed under the agreement. Upon disposition of the homes, the Company will receive a payment from the finance revenue sharing agreement reserve account, of no less than 25% and no more than 60% of the payoff of the loan, to cover the costs of the disposition of the homes. No losses have been incurred in connection with the finance revenue sharing agreement. Prestige does Prestigenot itself finance customers’ new home purchases. During fiscalSince 2004, Nobility entered intohas engaged in a finance revenue sharing agreementarrangement between 21st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige and Nobility’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Majestic Homes, Inc. without forming a separate entity. For more information about the revenue sharing arrangement, see “Note 3”Note 3 of “Notes to the consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements”. In the future, Nobility may explore the possibility of underwriting its own mortgage loans.

The Company formed in fiscal year 2008 two limited liability companies called Nobility Parks I, LLC and Nobility Parks II, LLC to invest in new Florida retirement manufactured home communities. Walden Woods, III Ltd. (Walden Woods) located in Homosassa, Florida, and CRF III, Ltd. (Cypress Creek) located in Winter Haven, Florida. These investments will provide the Company with 31.9% of the earnings/losses of the 236 residential lots in Walden Woods and 49% of the earnings/losses of the 403 residential lots in Cypress Creek. See Note 3 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

The retail sale of manufactured homes is a highly competitive business. Because of the large 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 conventional site-built housing.

Insurance and Financial Services

Mountain Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Home Centers, Inc., is an independent insurance agent, licensed mortgage lender and mortgage broker. Its principal activity is the performance ofproviding 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 Prestige customers in obtaining various 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, which leads us to conclude that the Company has no material commitments or contingencies related to Mountain Financial, Inc. 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 is deemed necessary for policy cancellations for fiscal years 2007, 20062008 and 2005.2007. Mountain Financial, Inc.‘s insurance revenues were approximately $402,000, $335,000$404,000 and $305,000$402,000 in fiscal year 2008 and 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The construction lending operation provides financing to pre-approved buyers who have been approved for financing by an independent third party who are purchasing a home through the Company’s retail sales centers. The loan provides the homeowner with enough money to pay for the land, land improvements, construction and installation of the home, impact fees and permits. The loan is disbursed in draws as construction progresses and is secured by a first mortgage on the land, home, and all of the improvements. The term is typically for one year, with interest only payable monthly. There is also a finance charge which is added to the loan at closing. The construction loan is paid off when the homeowner closes on the permanent financing, typically a 30 year fixed mortgage. The mortgage broker fee was $117,000 and $34,000 and construction interest was $63,000 and $25,000 for fiscal 2007.year 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Wholesale Sales to Manufactured Home Communities

Nobility currently sells its homes on a wholesale basis exclusively through fourtwo full-time salespersons to approximately 4030 manufactured home communities. 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 customersindependent dealers sell homes produced by several manufacturers. No customer accounted for more than 10% of Nobility’s total sales in fiscal 2007, 2006years 2008 and 2005. Subsequent to November 4, 2007,2007. In fiscal year 2008, the Company invested as a limited partner in two new Florida retirement manufactured home communities. Management’s belief is that new attractive and affordable manufactured home communities for senior citizens will be a significant growth area for Florida in the future.

Dealers generally obtain inventory financing from financial institutions (usually banks and finance companies) on a “floor plan” basis where the financial institution obtains a security interest in all or part of the dealer’s manufactured home inventory. Nobility, from time-to-time, enters into repurchase agreements with the lending institutions which provide that, in the event of a dealer’s default, Nobility will, at the lender’s request, repurchase the home provided that Nobility’s liability will not exceed the manufacturer’s invoice price and that the repurchased home is new and unused. Generally, the repurchase agreement expires within 18 – 24 months after a home is sold to the dealer and the repurchase price is limited to between 70% to 100% of the original invoice price to the dealer, depending on the length of time that has expired since the original sale. The repurchase is usually conditioned upon the dealer’s insolvency and presentation of the unit back to the Company. Any losses incurred as a result of such repurchases would be limited to the difference between the repurchase price and the subsequent resale value of the home repurchased. Nobility was not required to repurchase any homes during fiscal 2007, 2006 or 2005.years 2008 and 2007. For additional information, see Note 13 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”Statements”. Nobility does not finance retail sales of new homes for customers of its independent dealers.

Nobility does not generally offer consigned inventory programs or other credit terms to its dealers and ordinarily receives payment for its homes within 15 to 30 days of delivery. However, Nobility may offer extended terms to unrelated park dealers who do a high volume of business with Nobility. In order to stimulate sales, Nobility sells homes for display to selected manufactured home communities on special terms. The high visibility of Nobility’s homes in such communities generates additional sales of its homes through such dealers.

Regulation

The manufacture, distribution and sale of homes is subject to governmental regulation at the federal, state and local levels. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has adopted national construction and safety standards that have priority over existing 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. Homes manufactured by Nobility are also required to comply with the standard building code established by the Florida Department of Community Affairs.

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 those 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. Based on number of units sold, during the first eleven months of calendar year 2007, Nobility ranks 6th in the state of Florida out of the top 45 manufacturers selling manufactured homes in the state. Nobility estimates that of those 45 manufacturers approximately 15 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, warranty and product performance.

According to statistics compiled by Statistical Surveys, Inc. from records on file with the State of Florida, Prestige has been one of the largest retail dealers of multi-section manufactured homes in Florida since 1994, based on number of home sales.

Employees

As of January 4, 2008,5, 2009, Nobility had 214160 full-time employees, including 8273 employed by Prestige. Approximately 9353 employees are factory personnel compared to approximately 9493 in such positions a year ago and 120107 are in management, administrative, supervisory, sales and clerical positions (including 7568 management and sales personnel employed by Prestige) compared to approximately 10675 a year ago. In addition, Nobility employs part-time employees when necessary.

5


Nobility makes contributions toward employees’ group health and life insurance and to the Nobility 401(k) plan. 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.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Company Risk Factors

The ownership of our common stock involves a number of risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the following risks, together with the information provided elsewhere in our Form 10-K and Annual Report. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks that are currently unknown to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial may also impair our business or adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

The manufactured housing industry is highly cyclical, which may cause our revenues and operating results to fluctuate.

The manufactured housing industry is highly cyclical and seasonal and has experienced wide fluctuations in aggregate sales in the past. We are subject to volatility in operating results due to external factors beyond our control such as:

availability of retail financing;
the level and stability of interest rates;
unemployment trends;
impact of hurricanes or seasonal weather conditions;
the availability of wholesale financing;
housing supply and demand;
defaults by retail customers resulting in repossessions;
industry level of used or repossessed manufactured homes;
international tensions and hostilities;
levels of consumer confidence;
inventory levels;
regulatory and zoning matters;
availability of home insurance;
access to capital markets;
changes in general economic conditions; and
commodity prices.

Sales in our market area are also seasonal in nature, with sales of homes traditionally being stronger in the summer and fall months. The cyclical and seasonal nature of our business causes our revenues and operating results to fluctuate and makes it difficult for management to forecast sales and profits in uncertain times. As a result of seasonal and cyclical downturns, results from any quarter should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future quarters.

6


The manufactured housing industry is experiencing a significant downturn, which may cause us to incur reductions in our operating and net income.

Since mid-1999, the manufactured housing industry has experienced a prolonged and significant downturn. Annual shipments have declined from approximately 350,000 to 100,000 in 2007. This downturn has resulted in part from the fact that, beginning in 1999, consumer lenders in the sector began to tighten underwriting standards and curtail credit availability in response to higher than anticipated rates of loan defaults and significant losses upon the repossession and resale of homes securing defaulted loans. Other causes of the downturn include a reduced number of consumer lenders in the traditional chattel (home-only) lending sector, higher interest rates on home-only loans and generally unfavorable economic conditions. These factors have resulted in declining wholesale shipments, excess manufacturing and retail locations and surplus inventory.

As a result of the foregoing factors, based on industry data, we estimate that approximately 57% of all industry retail locations have closed since 1999 and that industry manufacturers have closed 118 manufacturing facilities, representing 37% of the industry’s manufacturing facilities.

It is possible that the current industry downturn is likely to continue, at least in the near term. The availability of consumer financing for the purchase of manufactured homes continues to be constrained. In addition, the number of repossessed homes being offered for sale continues to have an adverse impact on demand for new manufactured homes. Although it is difficult to predict future industry conditions, these factors tend to indicate that a sustained recovery in the manufactured housing industry is unlikely to occur in the near term.

If the current industry downturn gets materially worse or the subprime crisis escalates, we may incur operating and net income reductions and may be required to take steps in an attempt to mitigate the effect of unfavorable industry conditions, such as the closure of facilities, retail sales centers, or consolidation of existing operations. These steps could impair our ability to conduct our business in a manner consistent with past practice and could make it more difficult for us to expand our operations if and when industry conditions improve. Furthermore, some of these steps could lead to fixed asset impairment charges and goodwill impairment charges.

The reduced availability of consumer financing could have a material adverse affect on our sales volume.

The reduced availability of financing from third party lenders for our retail customers could continue to affect our sales volume. Our retailers, as well as retail buyers of our products, generally secure financing from third party lenders, which, in the case of manufactured housing, have been negatively affected by adverse loan experience. For example, Conseco, Associate, Chase and GreenPoint, which have been very important lenders for customers of ours and of our dealers in the 1990‘s, have withdrawn from the manufactured housing finance business. A consumer seeking to finance the purchase of a manufactured home without land will generally pay a higher interest rate and have a shorter loan maturity than a consumer seeking to finance the purchase of land and the home. In addition, home-only financing is at times more difficult to obtain than the financing for site-built homes. Reduced availability of such financing, tightened underwriting standards and high interest rates are currently having an adverse effect on the manufactured housing business and our housing sales. In addition, quasi-governmental agencies such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are important purchasers of loans from financial institutions, have tightened standards relating to the manufactured housing loans that they will buy. There can be no assurance that affordable retail financing for manufactured or modular homes will be available on a widespread basis. If third party financing were to become unavailable or were to be further restricted, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

7


Availability of financing is dependent on the lending practices of financial institutions, financial markets, governmental policies and economic conditions, all of which are largely beyond our control. There are currently three national lending institutions that specialize in providing wholesale floor plan financing to manufactured housing retailers. Reduced availability of floor plan lending may affect the inventory levels of our independent retailers, their number of retail sales centers and related wholesale demand.

The manufactured housing industry is very competitive and our inability to compete effectively could limit our growth.

The manufactured housing industry is highly competitive and some of our competitors are larger and have stronger balance sheets and cash flow, as well as greater access to capital, than we do. Competition at both the manufacturing and retail levels is based upon several factors, including price, product features, reputation for service and quality, merchandising, terms of retailer promotional programs and the terms of retail customer financing. Numerous companies produce manufactured homes in our market. In addition, our homes compete with repossessed homes that are offered for sale in our market. A number of our manufacturing competitors also have their own retail distribution systems and consumer finance and insurance operations. The ability to offer consumer finance and insurance products may provide some larger competitors with an advantage. In addition, there are many independent manufactured housing retail locations in most areas where we have retail operations. Because barriers to entry for manufactured housing retailers are low, we believe that where wholesale floor plan financing is available, it is relatively easy for new retailers to enter into our market as competitors. In addition, our products compete with other forms of low to moderate-cost housing, including new and existing site-built homes, apartments, townhouses and condominiums. If we are unable to compete effectively in this environment, our retail sales, wholesale shipments and operating results could be reduced. As a result, our growth could be limited.

If we experience a shortage of raw materials, or the price of raw materials increases, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our results of operations can be affected by the pricing and availability of raw materials. Although we attempt to increase the sales prices of our homes in response to higher materials costs, such increases typically lag behind the escalation of materials costs. Three of the most important raw materials used in our operations, lumber, gypsum wallboard and insulation, have experienced significant price fluctuations in the past several fiscal years. Sudden increases in demand for these construction materials, as has recently occurred, caused by natural disasters or other market forces, can greatly increase the costs of materials or limit the availability of such materials. Although we have not experienced any shortage of such building materials today, there can be no assurance that sufficient supplies of lumber, gypsum wallboard and insulation, as well as other materials, will continue to be available to us on terms we regard as satisfactory.

If we experience an increase in labor costs, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

The availability and pricing of labor, as well as changes in labor practices, may significantly affect our results of operations. Although we attempt to mitigate the effect of any cost escalation in labor costs when necessary by increasing the sales prices of our products, we cannot be certain that we will be able to do so without it having an adverse impact on the competitiveness of our products and, therefore, our sales volume. Changes in labor rates and practices could significantly affect our costs and thereby reduce our operating income. Any failure to offset increases in our labor costs could have an adverse effect on our margins, operating income and cash flows.

8


We self-insure some of our property and in the event of significant losses, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

For cost reasons, we do not maintain casualty insurance on some of our property, including the inventory at our retail centers, our plant machinery and plant inventory. We do maintain casualty insurance on our corporate buildings and manufacturing plants; however, we are not insured for the full value of those properties. If we experience significant losses resulting from disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, floods or fires for which we are not fully insured, it could have a material adverse affect on our operating results and financial condition.

Our geographic concentration in Florida could adversely affect out business.

We are concentrated geographically in Florida which could adversely affect our business. In fiscal year 2007, approximately 100% of our revenues were generated in Florida. A decline in the demand for manufactured housing in Florida, a decline in the economy of Florida and the impact of hurricanes in Florida or other adverse conditions could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.

If the manufactured housing industry does not secure favorable zoning regulations for our homes, our sales could decline.

If the factory-built housing industry is not able to secure favorable local zoning ordinances, or if there are changes in zoning regulations, our sales could decline and our operating results could suffer. Any limitation on the growth of the number of sites available for manufactured homes, or on the operation or starting new of manufactured housing communities, could adversely affect our sales. In addition, new product opportunities that we may wish to pursue for our manufactured housing business could cause us to encounter new zoning regulations and affect the potential market for these new products. Manufactured housing communities and individual home placements are subject to local zoning ordinances and other local regulations relating to utility service and construction of roadways. In the past, there has been resistance by property owners to the adoption of zoning ordinances permitting the location of manufactured homes in residential areas and we believe that this resistance has adversely affected the growth of the industry. The inability of the manufactured home industry to affect change in these zoning ordinances could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and we cannot be certain that manufactured homes will receive more widespread acceptance or that additional localities will adopt zoning ordinances permitting the location of manufactured homes.

If our retail customers are unable to obtain insurance for factory-built homes, our sales volume and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We sell our factory-built homes to retail customers located primarily in Florida. Some of our retail customers have experienced difficulty obtaining insurance for our factory-built homes due to adverse weather-related events in Florida and the Gulf Coast, primarily hurricanes. If our retail customers face increased difficulty in obtaining insurance for the homes we build, our sales volume and results of operations may be adversely affected.

9


If our contingent liabilities become actual liabilities that we must satisfy, we may incur losses or experience a reduction in earnings.

We have, and will continue to have, contingent wholesale repurchase obligations which could become actual obligations that we must satisfy. We may incur losses under these wholesale repurchase obligations or be required to fund these or other contingent obligations that would reduce our earnings. In connection with a floor plan arrangement for our home shipments to independent retailers, the financial institution that provides the retailer financing customarily requires us to enter into a separate repurchase agreement with the financial institution. Under this separate agreement, generally for a period 18 to 24 months from the date of our sale to the retailer, upon default by the retailer and repossession of the home by the financial institution, we are generally obligated to purchase from the lender the related floor plan loan or the home at a price equal to the unpaid principal amount of the loan, plus certain administrative and handling expenses, reduced by the cost of any damage to the home and any missing parts or accessories. The difference between the gross repurchase price and the price at which the repurchased manufactured home can then be resold, which is typically at a discount to the original sale price, is an expense to us. Thus, if we were obligated to repurchase a large number of manufactured homes in the future, this would increase our costs, which could have a negative effect on our earnings. During fiscal 2007 and 2006, there were no losses incurred under these repurchase agreements. We estimate that our potential obligations under such repurchase agreements were approximately $539,000 in 2007 and $1,397,000 in 2006. We may be required to honor contingent repurchase obligations in the future and may incur additional expense as a consequence of these repurchase agreements.

Tightened credit standards by lenders and more aggressive attempts to accelerate collection of outstanding accounts with retailers could result in defaults by retailers and consequently repurchase obligations on our part may be higher than has historically been the case.

We are dependent on Prestige Home Center’s ability to sell our manufactured homes, and if it is not successful, we may experience a decline in our revenue and operating results.

During fiscal 2007 and 2006, approximately 89% and 77% of our wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were sold through Prestige Home Centers, our own retail distribution network. If Prestige’s retail sales are adversely affected by changes in conditions such as economic, demographics, weather, repossessions, unemployment trends, interest rates, availability of retail financing, personnel and housing demand, our revenue and operating results would decline.

We are dependent on independent retailers to sell our homes, and the loss of a significant retailer or our inability to establish relations with independent retailers could have a material adverse effect on our sales and operating results.

If we are unable to establish or maintain relationships with independent retailers who sell our homes, our sales could decline and our operating results could suffer. During fiscal 2007 and 2006, approximately 11% and 23% of our wholesale shipments of manufactured homes were made to independent retail locations in Florida. As is common in the industry, independent retailers may sell manufactured homes produced by competing manufacturers. We may not be able to establish relationships with new independent retailers or maintain good relationships with independent retailers that sell our homes. Furthermore, our presence as a competitor limits potential sales to dealers located in the same geographic area serviced by Prestige retail sales centers. Even if we do establish and maintain relationships with independent retailers, these retailers are not obligated to sell our manufactured homes exclusively and may choose to sell our competitors’ homes instead. Furthermore, if wholesale shipments of manufactured homes exceed the retail sales, independent retailers’ inventories may increase to a level where the retailers decrease orders from us. The independent retailers with whom we have relationships can cancel these relationships on short notice. In addition, these retailers may not remain financially solvent as they are subject to industry, economic, demographic and seasonal trends similar to the ones we face. If we do not establish and maintain relationships with solvent independent retailers in our market, sales could decline.

We are dependent on the ability of 21stMortgage Corporation and Majestic 21 to operate a financially successful business, and if their operations are not financially successful, we could experience a loss of some or all of our investments.

During fiscal 1997, we contributed $250,000 for a 50% interest in a joint venture with 21st Mortgage Corporation, to provide mortgage financing on our manufactured homes sold by our retail division. As a 50% partner we do not have any legal authority to manage or control this partnership’s operations. During fiscal 2004, we transferred $250,000 from our existing joint venture in Majestic 21 in order to participate in a new finance revenue sharing agreement with 21stMortgage Corporation. This finance revenue sharing agreement will continue to provide mortgage financing to customers who qualify for such mortgage financing, and who purchase homes through our Prestige Homes retail sales centers. The management of 21st Mortgage Corporation has industry experience in managing, servicing and collecting loan portfolios; however, many borrowers require notices and reminders to keep their loans current and to prevent delinquencies and foreclosures. A substantial increase in the delinquency rate that results from improper servicing or mortgage loan performance in general could adversely affect the profitability and cash flow from the loan portfolio for Majestic 21 and 21st Mortgage Corporation. Majestic 21 and 21st Mortgage Corporation makes loans to borrowers that it believes are credit worthy based on its credit guidelines. However, the ability of these customers to repay their loans may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to national, regional and local economic conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; natural hazard risks affecting the region in which the borrower resides; and employment, financial or life circumstances. Therefore, if these operations are not financially successful, our results may also be adversely affected and we could lose some or all of our investments.

We are dependent on two executive officers, and the loss or prolonged absence of either officer could have a material adverse affect on our business.

We are dependent to a significant extent upon the efforts of our two principal executive officers, Terry Trexler, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Tom Trexler, Executive Vice President and President of Prestige Home Centers, our retail distribution network. Tom Trexler is also responsible for the operations of the mortgage and insurance divisions. The loss or the prolonged absence of the services of either or both principal executive officers could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our continued growth is also dependent upon our ability to attract and retain additional skilled management personnel.

Our stock price is volatile and could experience significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time.

Our common stock price has been volatile and may continue to be volatile. The price of our common stock may fluctuate widely, depending upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include the perceived prospects of our business and the manufactured housing industry as a whole; differences between our actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts; changes in analysts’ recommendations or projections; changes affecting the availability of financing in the wholesale and consumer lending markets; future issuances of our common stock for stock options or acquisitions; actions or announcements by competitors; lack of liquidity in our stock; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate; and changes in general economic or market conditions. In addition, stock markets generally experience significant price and volume volatility from time to time which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to our performance. All of these factors may adversely impact the market prices of our common stock in the future.

We are subject to extensive government regulations and any change in those regulations could significantly increase our costs, which could negatively affect our results of operations.

Our manufactured housing business is subject to extensive federal and state regulations, including construction and safety standards for manufactured homes. Amendments to any of these regulations and the implementation of new regulations could significantly increase the costs of manufacturing, purchasing, operating or selling our products and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Our failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines, potential civil and criminal liability, suspension of sales or production, or cessation of operations. In addition, a major product recall could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our operations are subject to a variety of federal and state environmental regulations relating to noise pollution and the use, generation, storage, treatment, emission and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes. Although we believe that we are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental regulations, our failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines, potential civil and criminal liability, suspension of production or operations, alterations to the manufacturing process, costly cleanup or capital expenditures.

Our warranty claims could exceed our reserve, which would adversely affect our results of operation.

We are subject to warranty claims in the ordinary course of our business. Although we maintain reserves for such claims, which to date have been adequate, there can be no assurance that warranty expense levels will remain at current levels or that such reserves will continue to be adequate. A large number of warranty claims exceeding our current warranty expense levels could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

12


If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley – Section 404 by fiscal year end 2008, our stock price may decline and our business may be adversely affected.

By fiscal year end 2008, we must comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which requires us to evaluate annually the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in our annual report. Section 404 also will require our independent registered certified public accounting firm to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting for fiscal 2009. If we fail to meet our deadline for adoption or we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we cannot assure you that we will be able to conclude in the future that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If we fail to maintain a system of effective internal controls, it could have an adverse effect on our business and stock price.

Item 7.Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Nobility’s primary focus is homebuyers 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 also aggressively targeted the retirement community market, which is made up of retirees moving to Florida and typically purchasing 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 2007, 2006years 2008 and 2005,2007, Nobility’s product mix was affected by the number of “Special Edition” homes marketed by Prestige and by larger, more expensive multi-wide homes resulting from the availability of varied types of financing at competitive rates through our affiliates. Most family buyers today purchase three-, four- or five-bedroom manufactured homes, compared with the two-bedroom home that typically appeals to the retirement buyers who reside in the manufactured housing communities.

16


Nobility’s joint venture and finance revenue sharing agreement with 21st Mortgage Corporation and its subsidiaries provides mortgage financing to retail customers who purchase Nobility’s manufactured homes at Prestige retail sales centers. These agreements, which originate and service loans, have given Prestige more control over the financing aspect of the retail home sales process and allowed it to offer better services to its retail customers. Management believes that these agreements give Prestige an additional potential for profit by providing finance products to retail customers. In addition, management believes that Prestige has more input in the design of unique finance programs for prospective homebuyers, and that the joint venture has resulted in more profitable sales at its Prestige retail sales centers. For more information about the finance revenue sharing agreement, see “Note 3”Note 3 of “Notes to the consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements”. 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 December 2008, 21st Mortgage Corporation advised the Company that 21st Mortgage Corporation’s parent company had decided not to provide any additional funding for loan originations at this time. Consequently, 21st Mortgage Corporation was seeking additional capital to fund their loan originations through other sources, primarily bank financing. It is not clear at this time, if 21stMortgage Corporation will be able to raise enough capital to fund the Company’s loan originations through our finance revenue sharing agreement.

Prestige also maintains several other outside financing sources that provide financing to retail homebuyers for its manufactured homes.homes and the Company is in the process of developing relationships with new lenders. In the future, Nobility may explore the possibility of underwriting its own mortgage loans for non-21st Mortgage loans.

Prestige’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mountain Financial, Inc., is an independent insurance agent, licensed mortgage lender and mortgage broker. Mountain Financial provides construction loans, mortgage brokerage services, automobile, 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 years ended November 1, 2008 and November 3, 2007 November 4, 2006 and November 5, 2005 consisted of a fifty-two (52) week period.periods.

For fiscal years ended November 3, 2007, November 4, 20061, 2008 and November 5, 2005,3, 2007 results are as follows. Total net sales in fiscal 20072008 were $40,622,897$30,065,022 compared to $59,957,571$40,622,897 in fiscal 2006 and $56,710,925 in fiscal 2005.2007.

Sales for fiscal 2007year 2008 were adversely impacted by the reduced manufactured housing shipments in Florida plus the overall decline in Florida and the nation’s housing market. IndustryFlorida combined industry shipments of multi-section homes and single-section homes for fiscal year 2008 decreased approximately 30% as compared to fiscal year 2007 and decreased approximately 39% in Florida for the Company’s fiscal year 2007 were down approximately 47% from the same period last year. While we did not manufacture any FEMA units for temporary housing for hurricane victims, we believe the hurricanes positively impacted our retailas compared to fiscal year 2006. Approximately 99% of Nobility’s home sales in 2005 by driving sales for replacementare multi-section homes. Although businessthe current overall housing market has slowedcontinued to normal levels afterdecline this year, the hurricanes of 2005 and 2004, management is cautiously optimistic for fiscal 2008,long-term demographic trends still favor strong growth in the Florida market area we serve. Management remains convinced that our specific geographic market is one of the best long-term growth areas in the country and because of the strong operating leverage inherent in the Company, we expect to continue out-performing the industry. If the country enjoysWith a strong and stablebetter economy, improved sales in the existing home market, stablelower unemployment, andcontinued low interest rates, in 2008,the continued tight credit markets and the absence of aggressive mortgage financing of site-built homes, management expects the demand for our homes to improve. Management understands that during these challenging conditions within our industry and our country, the Company’s strong financial condition is vital for future growth and success. Fiscal year 20082009 is Nobility’s 4142stnd year of operating in our market area and we plan to increasearea. We have been increasing the level of consumer awareness and confidence in Nobility and Prestige, our retail organization, with the introduction and special promotion of more special edition homes. Subsequent to November 4, 2007,homes and by using television commercials in our various marketing areas within Florida. During fiscal year 2008, the Company has also invested as a limited partner in two new Florida retirement manufactured home communities. Management’s belief is that new attractive and affordable manufactured home communities for senior citizens will be a significant growth area for Florida in the future.

Combined industry-wide shipment of multi-section and single-section homes for the first ten months of calendar 2007 decreased approximately 22% from the like period last year and decreased 10% in calendar 2006 after a 3% increase in calendar 2005. Florida combined industry shipments of multi-section homes and single-section homes in the first ten months of calendar 2007 decreased approximately 47% from the like period last year and decreased 31% in calendar 2006 and increased 23% in calendar 2005. The increase in Florida shipments in 2005 was positively impacted by both FEMA purchased temporary housing and customers replacing homes due to the hurricanes. Approximately 99% of Nobility’s home sales are multi-section homes.

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, mobile 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 and septic tank and other expenses.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 29% in fiscal 2007 compared to 29.5% in fiscal 2006 and 29% in fiscal 2005. The gross profit at the Company owned retail sales centers remained approximately the same due to the increase in the average retail selling price and the increase in the average gross profit on each retail home sold. The average new manufactured home price (wholesale) increased, but the gross profit from the manufacturing facilities, which included homes built for both Company owned retail sales centers and independent dealers, declined because of the fixed manufacturing expenses related to the deceased sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was approximately 18.4% in fiscal 2007 compared to 15.2% in fiscal 2006 and 14.3% in fiscal 2005. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales resulted from the fixed expenses directly related to the decreased sales at the Company’s manufacturing facilities and retail sales centers in fiscal 2007. In fiscal year 2006 the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from the increase in compensation expenses directly related to the increased sales and advertising expense at the Company’s retail sales centers. Selling, general and administrative expenses at our manufacturing facility includes 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 includes: advertising, retail sales centers expenses, salary and salary related, professional fees, corporate expense, employee benefit, office equipment and supplies, utilities and travel.

Insurance revenues in fiscal 2007year 2008 were $402,101$403,662 compared to $334,504$402,101 in fiscal 2006 and $304,882 in fiscal 2005. These increasesyear 2007. The slight increase resulted from increased contingency payments earned based on participation of profitability with insurance companies due to low claims, as well as new policies generated and renewal of existing policies. The insurance revenues in 2005 were reclassified to be recorded at net versus gross. Prestige’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mountain Financial, Inc., is an independent insurance agent, licensed mortgage lender and mortgage broker. Its principal activity is the performance of 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, Mountain Financial solely assists our Prestige customers in obtaining various 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 and therefore, we have no material commitments or contingencies related to Mountain Financial, Inc. 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 is deemed necessary for policy cancellations at November 3, 2007, November 4, 20061, 2008 and November 5, 2005.3, 2007.

The construction lending operation provides financing to buyers who are purchasing a home through the Company’s retail sales centers. The loan provides the homeowner with enough money to pay for the land, land improvements, construction and installation of the home, impact fees and permits. The loan is disbursed in draws as construction progresses and is secured by a first mortgage on the land, home and all of the improvements. The term is typically for one year, with interest only payable monthly. There is also a finance charge which is added to the loan at closing. The construction loan is paid off when the homeowner closes on the permanent financing, typically a 30 year fixed mortgage. The mortgage broker feeprepaid finance charge in fiscal year 2008 was $34,000 and$116,580 compared to $34,089 in fiscal year 2007. The construction interest in fiscal year 2008 was $25,000 for$63,481 compared to $24,759 in fiscal year 2007. The construction lending operation began in the second quarter of 2007.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 27% in fiscal year 2008 compared to 29% in fiscal year 2007. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the rapidly increasing material costs at the manufacturing facilities that were not passed on until the beginning of the Company’s fourth quarter. The increased cost of goods sold also impacted the retail sales centers gross profit margin as they were locked into retail customer’s contracts and could not pass along the increases. Fixed overhead costs associated with the lower sales volume at the manufacturing facilities and retail sales centers also reduced gross profit margins.

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, for accounts receivable, inventory and goodwill. The following explains the basis and the procedure for each asset account where judgment and estimates are applied.

20Revenue Recognition


Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from its retail sales 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 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 is deemed necessary for policy cancellations at November 3, 20071, 2008 or November 4, 2006.3, 2007.

Investment in Majestic 21

 ��      Investments in Retirement Community Limited Partnerships

The Company formed a limited liability company called Nobility Parks I, LLC to invest in a new Florida retirement manufactured home community, Walden Woods, III Ltd. (Walden Woods) located in Homosassa, Florida. The investment was $2,360,000 and will provide the Company with 49% of the earnings/losses of the 236 residential lots. The investment amount is equivalent to $10,000 per residential lot. The investment is included in Other Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nobility Parks I, LLC has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes. Nobility Parks I, LLC has sold $825,250 of its ownership at cost, which reduced the Company’s investment by the same amount to 31.9%.

The Company formed a limited liability company called Nobility Parks II, LLC to invest in a new Florida retirement manufactured home community, CRF III, Ltd. (Cypress Creek) located in Winter Haven, Florida. The investment was $4,030,000 and will provide the Company with 49% of the earnings/losses of the 403 residential lots. The investment amount is equivalent to $10,000 per residential lot. The investment is included in Other Investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nobility Parks II, LLC has the right to assign some of its ownership to partners other than Nobility Homes.

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(“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 the Company’s maximum exposure is limited to it’s 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 FIN 46R. 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 recorded in the accounts of Nobility Homes of $1,876,354 as of November 1, 2008 and $1,667,661 as of November 3, 2007 and $1,599,428 as of November 4, 2006.2007. However, based on management’s evaluation, there was no impairment of this investment at November 3, 20071, 2008 or November 4, 2006.3, 2007.

21


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. The Company resells foreclosed/repossessed units of Majestic 21 through the Company’s network of retail centers as we believe it benefits the historical loss experience of the joint venture. We earn commissions from reselling such foreclosed/repossessed units and have historically not recorded any material losses in connection with this activity.

Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement

TheFinance Revenue Sharing Agreement

During fiscal year 2004, the Company transferred $250,000 from its existing joint venture in Majestic 21 in order to participate in a finance revenue sharing agreement is between 21st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige Home Centers,Homes, Inc., and Majestic Homes, Inc. and nowithout forming a separate entity has been formed.entity.

As a condition to the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase homes from defaulted loans which were financed under the agreement. However,Upon disposition of the homes, the Company haswill receive a payment from the finance revenue sharing agreement reserve account, of no riskless than 25% and no more than 60% of loss.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including our statement that working capital requirements will be met with internal sources. 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, continued excess retail inventory, increase in repossessions, 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, impact of labor shortage, impact of materials shortage, increasing labor cost, cyclical nature of the manufactured housing industry, impact of rising 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, market disruptions resulting from terrorist or other attack and any armed conflict involving the United States and the impact of inflation.

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are subject to market risk, including interest rate and equity price risks; however, due to the makeup of our investment portfolio this market risk is considered minimal. The Company manages its exposure to these risks through its regular operating and financing activities.

We do not engage in investing in or trading market risk sensitive financial instruments. We also do not purchase for investing, hedging, or for purposes “other than trading” financial instruments that are likely to expose us to significant market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency, commodity price, or equity price risk. The Company’s financial instruments are not currently subject to foreign currency or commodity risk. The Company has no financial instrument held for trading purposes.

We do not have any indebtedness as of November 3, 2007. If we were to borrow from our revolving credit agreement, we would be exposed to changes in interest rates. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1Reporting 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 subsidiary,subsidiaries, Prestige Home Centers, Inc. (“Prestige”) Nobility Parks I, LLC, Nobility Parks II, LLC and Prestige’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mountain Financial, Inc., an independent insurance agency and mortgage broker, and Majestic Homes, Inc., (collectively the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of manufactured homes to various dealerships, including its own retail sales centers, and manufactured housing communities throughout Florida. The Company has two manufacturing plants located in and near Ocala, Florida. Prestige currently operates eighteenseventeen Florida retail sales centers: Ocala (3), St. Augustine, Chiefland, Tallahassee, Tampa, Lake City, Auburndale, Inverness, Hudson, Tavares, Jacksonville, Yulee, Fort Walton, Pace, Panama City and Punta Gorda.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fiscal YearThe Company’s fiscal year ends on the first Saturday on or after October 31. The years ended November 3, 2007, November 4, 20061, 2008 and November 5, 20053, 2007 consisted of fifty-two week periods.

Revenue RecognitionThe Company recognizes revenue from its retail sales 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'sbuyer’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 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.

Nobility Homes, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 is deemed necessary for policy cancellations at November 3, 20071, 2008 or November 4, 2006.

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 the Company’s maximum exposure is limited to it’s 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 FIN 46R. 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 recorded in the accounts of Nobility Homes of $1,667,661 as of November 3, 2007 and $1,599,428 as of November 4, 2006. However, based on management’s evaluation, there was no impairment of this investment at November 3, 2007 or November 4, 2006.2007.

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. The Company does resell foreclosed/repossessed units of Majestic 21 through the Company’s network of retail centers as we believe it benefits the historical loss experience of the joint venture. We earn commissions from reselling such foreclosed/repossessed units and have historically not recorded any losses in connection with this activity.

Finance Revenue Sharing Agreement –During fiscal 2004, the Company transferred $250,000 from its existing joint venture in Majestic 21 in order to participate in a finance revenue sharing agreement between 21st Mortgage Corporation, Prestige Homes, Inc., and Majestic Homes, Inc. without forming a separate entity. In connection with this finance revenue sharing agreement, mortgage financing will be provided on manufactured homes sold through the Company’s retail centers to customers who qualify for such mortgage financing. As a condition to the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase homes from defaulted loans which were financed under the agreement. However, the Company has no risk of loss. All expenses related to the repossession, foreclosure, and liquidation are reimbursed by 21st Mortgage Corporation. No losses have been incurred in connection with the finance revenue sharing agreement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of November 1, 2008 and November 3, 2007, approximately $7,306,000 and November 4, 2006, approximately $9,329,000, and $9,844,000, respectively, of the cash and cash equivalents were held in the form of municipal and other debt securities. All of the municipal and other debt securities are held by one trustee bank, are backed by letters of credit provided by the issuers and are due on demand at the original purchase price paid by the Company.

Nobility Homes, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 3, 20071, 2008 and November 4, 2006,3, 2007, in the opinion of management, all accounts were considered fully collectible and, accordingly, no allowance was deemed necessary.

InvestmentsThe Company’s investments consist of municipal and other debt securities as well as equity securities of a public company. Investments with maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are accounted for as “held-to-maturity” securities and are carried at amortized cost. Premiums and discounts on investments in debt securities are amortized over the contractual lives of those securities. The method of amortization results in a constant effective yield on those securities (the interest method). 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 –Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost of finished home inventories is determined on the specific identification method. Other inventory costs are determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

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 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 FIN 46R. 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 recorded in the accounts of Nobility Homes of $1,876,354 as of November 1, 2008 and $1,667,661 as of November 3, 2007. However, based on management’s evaluation, there was no impairment of this investment at November 1, 2008 or November 3, 2007.

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. The Company does resell foreclosed/repossessed units of Majestic 21 through the Company’s network of retail centers as we believe it benefits the historical loss experience of the joint venture. We earn commissions from reselling such foreclosed/repossessed units and have historically not recorded any losses in connection with this activity.

In connection with this finance revenue sharing agreement, mortgage financing will be provided on manufactured homes sold through the Company’s retail centers to customers who qualify for such mortgage financing. As a condition to the finance revenue sharing agreement, the Company has agreed to repurchase homes from defaulted loans which were financed under the agreement. Upon disposition of the homes, the Company will receive a payment from the finance revenue sharing agreement reserve account, of no less than 25% and no more than 60% of the payoff of the loan, to cover the costs of the disposition of the homes. No losses have been incurred in connection with the finance revenue sharing agreement.

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.

Rebate Program –The Company has a rebate program for all dealers 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 (seesheets. See Note 7)7 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”.

Advertising –Advertising for Prestige retail sales centers consists primarily of newspaper, radio and television advertising. All costs are expensed as incurred.

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.

Earnings per Share –These financial statements include “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share information for all periods presented. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for dilutive common shares. Diluted earnings per share calculations include dilutive common share stock optionsshares of 9,310, 20,2983,524 and 91,5299,310 for fiscal yearsyear 2008 and 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Accordingly, the Company accounts for its operations in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” No segment disclosures have been made as the Company considers its business activities as a single segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements –In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. It establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principleshierarchy and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.measurements in both interim and annual periods. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Company is required to adoptwill be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In December 2007, FASB issued proposed FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-b, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 provides all entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Statement’s effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption available in certain circumstances.

There were no sales of “available-for-sale” securities during the fiscal years 20072008 or 2006.2007.

The unrealized losses on municipal securities were primarily due to changes in interest rates. Because the decline in market values of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be until maturity, the Company does not believe any of the unrealized losses represent other than temporary impairment based on evaluations of available evidence as of November 3, 2007. All municipal securities were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of November 3, 2007.1, 2008.

Net deferred tax assets $454,140 $228,222 
Total deferred tax assets $632,832 $454,140 




The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets of $454,140$632,832 at November 3, 20071, 2008 will be realized on future tax returns, primarily from the generation of future taxable income.

42On November 4, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company has recorded a liability for $275,000 as of November 1, 2008 of unrecognized tax benefits, which were accounted for as a reduction of $200,000 to retained earnings and an increase of $75,000 to deferred taxes as of the adoption date. As of November 1, 2008, the Company had approximately $275,000 of unrecognized tax benefits including accrued interest and penalties was $58,000. If the unrecognized tax benefits were to be recognized in a future period, $200,000 would reduce the statement of operations tax provision, thereby impacting the effective tax rate. The impact of recognition of the income tax provision reflects the amounts for unrecognized tax benefits net of the deferred tax benefit on accrued interest and state income tax items, and reversal of accrued interest and penalties. Interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes are classified as a component of income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 11Stock Option Plan

During fiscal year 1996, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock incentive plan (the “Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of options to purchase common stock. The Plan provides for the issuance of options to purchase up to 495,000 shares of common stock to employees and directors. Options granted are exercisable after one or more years and expire no later than six to ten years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment, retirement or death. Options available for future grant were 361,971347,366 and 391,028361,971 at November 3, 20071, 2008 and November 4, 2006.3, 2007. Options were held by 1614 persons at November 3, 2007.1, 2008.

Prior to November 6, 2005, theThe Company accounted for the Plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.Accounting for Stock Issue to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. For fiscal 2007 and 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, which revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS 123R requires companies to measuremeasures 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 2007fiscal years 2008 and 2006,2007, the Company recognized approximately $102,500$165,300 and $45,200$102,500 in compensation cost and additional paid in capital related to stock options.

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 12Employee 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 matching contribution of 20% of an employee’s contribution up to a maximum of 6% of an employee’s compensation. The Company’s contribution charged to operations was approximately $45,000, $50,000$40,000 and $40,000$45,000 in fiscal yearsyear 2008 and 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 13Commitments 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 November 2009. 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 approximately $585,000, $568,000$448,400 and $509,000$585,000 in fiscal yearsyear 2008 and 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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 3, 20071, 2008 are as follows:

Repurchase Agreements –The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing covering dealer floor plan financing arrangements for independent dealers of its manufactured homes. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of homes sold to independent dealers in the event of default by the independent dealer. The price the Company is obligated to pay declines over the period of the repurchase agreement (generally 18-24 months) and the risk of loss is further reduced by the sales value of any homes which may be required to be repurchased. The contingent liability under these repurchase agreements is on an individual unit basis and amounted to approximately $539,000$1,085,400 and $1,397,000$539,000 at November 3, 20071, 2008 and November 4, 2006,3, 2007, respectively. The Company applies FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 3 and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies to account for its liability for repurchase commitments. Under the provisions of FIN 45, during the period in which a home is sold (inception of a repurchase commitment), the Company records the greater of the estimated fair value of the non-contingent obligation or a contingent liability under the provisions of SFAS No. 5, based on historical information available at the time, as a reduction to revenue. Additionally, subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates the likelihood that it will be called on to perform under the inventory repurchase commitments. If it becomes probable that a dealer will default and a SFAS No. 5 loss reserve should be recorded, then such contingent liability is recorded equal to the estimated loss on repurchase. Based on identified changes in dealers’ financial conditions, the Company evaluates the probability of default for the group of dealers who are identified at an elevated risk of default and applies a probability of default to the group, based on historical default rates. Changes in the reserve, if any, are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. Following the inception of the commitment, the recorded reserve, if any, is reduced over the repurchase period and is eliminated once the dealer sells the home. Based upon management’s analysis, the fair value of the guarantee related to the Company’s repurchase agreements is not material and no amounts have been recorded related to the fair value of the guarantee in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, there were no homes repurchased under any of the Company’s repurchase agreements in fiscal yearsyear 2008 and 2007, 2006 and 2005.respectively.

On June 5, 2007, Nobility Homes, Inc. was notified that certain partners of Tedder, James, Worden & Associates, P.A., the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm, had joined McGladrey & Pullen, LLP and that, as a result, effective June 5, 2007 Tedder, James, Worden & Associates, P.A. resigned as independent registered auditor for the Company. The decision to engage McGladrey & Pullen, LLP was approved by the audit committee of the board of directors on June 8, 2007.

There were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure matters.

Item 9A.9A(T).Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.Procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a – 15e and 15d – 15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on their evaluation as of the fiscal year covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this report was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that the information required to be disclosed in this report was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting involves policies and procedure that (i) require maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately reflect the Company’s financial transactions and disposition of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that these transactions are recorded as required to support preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance for the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized use of the Company’s 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 1, 2008 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of November 1, 2008.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 20072008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
