(UNAUDITED)
1. The unaudited financial information included in this report includes all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The
operations for the six months ended May 3, 2003 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.
Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations governing Form
10-Q. The condensed financial statements included in this report should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Registrant's November 2, 2002 Form 10-K Annual Report.
2. 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.

3. Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
---------------------------------------
At May 3, 2003, the Company had a stock incentive plan (the "Plan"),
which authorizes the issuance of oack-Schoo purchase common stock. The
Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by FAS 148,
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, but applies Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpreatations in accounting for its
plans. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net
income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price
equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense for
stock options based on the fair value at grant date, consistent with
the method prescribed by FAS 123, net income and earnings per share
would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows. The pro
forma amounts were determined using the Bl

-------------------
The amounts previously paid by TLT, Inc. to the Company have been
recorded as a gain on recovery of the fully reserved TLT, Inc. note
receivable in the consolidated financial statements. The balance of the
reserved advances at May 3, 2003 was approximately $232,000.
6. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
------------------------------------------
The Company applies judgment and estimates, which may have a material
effect in the eventual outcome of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, accounts receivable, inventory and goodwill. The following
explains the basis and the procedure for each asset account where
judgment and estimates are applied.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for the majority of retail sales upon the
occurrence of the following:
- its receipt of a down payment,
- completion of the home,
- title having passed to the retail home buyer,
- funds having been deposited into the Company's account,
- the home having been delivered and set up at the retail home buyer's
site, and
- completion of any other significant obligations.
The Company recognizes sales to 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (Continued)
- ------------------------------------------------------
Goodwill
Between 1995 and 1998 the Company acquired retail sales centers using
the purchase method of accounting. As a result, goodwill is reflected on
the consolidated balance sheets. A valuation based on the cash flow
method was performed and it was determined that the value of the
goodwill and the net assets in the accounts exceeded the estimated cash
flow valuation. There is no assurance that the value of the acquired
sales centers will not decrease in the future due to changing business
conditions.
Vendor Rebates
The Company receives volume rebates from its vendors based upon reaching
a certain level of purchased materials during a specified period of
time. Volume rebates are estimated based upon annual purchases, and are
adjusted quarterly if the accrued volume rebate is applicable.
Dealer Volume Rebates
The Company pays a volume rebate to independent dealers based upon the
dollar volume of homes purchased and paid for by the dealer in excess of
a certain specific dollar amount during a specific time period. Dealer
volume rebates are accrued when sales are recognized.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income and the fair value adjustments
for marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale.
Total comprehensive income for the quarter ended May 3, 2003 was
approximately $804,000, which included the unrealized gains from the
fair value adjustments on marketable securities of approximately
$127,000, net of tax of approximately $54,000.
Short Term Investments
The Company's short term investments, consisting primarily of high grade
debt securities, are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company
has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which
approximates fair value at May 3, 2003. The Company also owns
investments that are considered to be available-for-sale. The Company
records any adjustments to the fair market value of these available-for-
sale securities to other comprehensive income. At May 3, 2003, all held-
to-maturity and available-for-sale securities were classified as current
assets.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
FASB Statement No. 142 (FAS 142)
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 (FAS 142), "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets". FAS 142 Primarily addresses the accounting for
goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition (i.e.,
the post-acquisition accounting) and supercedes APB 17, Intangible
Assets. Under FAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asets
will no longer be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least
annually at a reporting unit level. Additionally, the amortization
period of intangible assets with finite lives is no longer limited to
forty years. The Company implemented FAS 142, effective November 3,
2002, the beginning of its fiscal year. In connection with the adoption
of FAS 142, the Company completed the transitional impairment testing
of goodwill during the six months ended May 3, 2003. The transitional
impairment testing resulted in no initial goodwill impairment charge for
the six month period ended May 3, 2003.
FASB Statement No. 144 (FAS 144)
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 (FAS 144), "Accounting
for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". FAS 144 supersedes
FAS 121 and applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued
operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board opinion
No. 30 (APB 30), Reporting Results of Operations Reporting the Effects
of Disposal of a Segment of a Business. FAS 144 requires that long-lived
assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of
book value or fair value less cost to sell. The Company implemented FAS
144, effective November 3, 2002, the beginning of its fiscal year. The
adoption of FAS 144 had no material impact on the Company's reported
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45)
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires that upon
the issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize the liability
for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under the guarantee. FIN
45 provides that initial recognition and measurement should be applied
on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December
31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year end. The
disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of both
interim and annual periods that end after December 15, 2002. The Company
did not guarantee the indebtedness of others during the six months ended
May 3, 2003. Adoption of FIN 45 has not had an affect on the Company's
financial statements.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
--------------------------------------------
FASB Statement No 148 (FAS 148)
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 (FAS 148),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". FAS
148 amends FAS 123, "Accouting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of FAS
123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The Company implemented FAS 148, effective November 3, 2002,
the beginning of its fiscal year.
FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46)
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This intact,eiftion of
Accounting Research Bulletin 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements,"
addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities which posses certain characteristics. The interpretation
requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial
interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and
results of the activities of the variable interest entity must be
included in the consolidated financial statements with those of the
business enterprise. This interpretation applies immediately to variable
interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable
interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that
date. There were no variable interest entities created or in which the
Company obtained an interest in the six months ended May 3, 2003. The
Company is in the process of determining the impact, if any, of adopting
the provision of FIN 46.
FASB Statement No. 149 (FAS 149)
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149 (FAS 149),
"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". FAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This
Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after
June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30,
2003. The Company did not have any derivative instruments or hedging
activities during the six months ended May 3, 2003. Adoption of FAS 149
is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 150 (FAS 150)
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150 (FAS 150),
"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of
both Liabilities and Equity". FAS 150 establishes standards for how an
issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities
and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument
that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some
circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation
of the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective
at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003. Adoption of FAS 150 is not expected to materially affect the
Company's financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The three and six month period ended May 3, 2003 compared to the three and six
month period ended May 4, 2002 are as follows. The sales for the second quarter
of fiscal 2003 decreased approximately 6.6% to $8,354,762 from $8,945,759 for
the second quarter 2002. Sales for the first six months of 2003 were $16,837,177
compared to $ 17,234,207 for the first six months of 2002. The decease in sales
was a result of less sales to our outside independent dealers.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 26.7% in second quarter 2003
compared to 26.3% in second quarter 2002 and was 26.4% for the first six months
of 2003 compared to 25.9% for the same period last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were
15.9% in second quarter 2003 compared to 15.2% in second quarter 2002 and was
16.1% for the first six months of 2003 compared to 15.9% for the first six
months of 2002.
The Company earned $43,239 for the second quarter of 2003 for interest on cash
equivalents and marketable securities as compared to $42,272 for the same
quarter last year. During the first six months of 2003 the Company earned
$83,536 compared to $100,923 in the first six months of 2002. The decrease in
interest income was a result of lower interest rates. The Company had received a
$100,000 payment on a fully reserved note receivable from TLT, Inc. during
second quarter 2002.
Majestic 21 is a financing joint venture accounted for under the equity method
of accounting. The Company earned from Majestic 21 $88,997 in second quarter
2003 compared to $39,121 in second quarter 2002. The increase in income was
primarily due to a smaller provision for loan losses. Majestic 21 earned
$110,563 for the first six months of 2003 as compared to $144,506 first six
months of 2002. The decrease in income for the six month period was primarily
due to a combination of both larger provisions for loan losses and fewer
originations in first quarter 2003. Income reported for Majestic 21 results from
the Company's 50% share of the equity in the earnings of this joint venture.
Income for the joint venture fluctuates due to loan origination volume,
foreclosure/repossession frequency and the severity of loss on the re-sale of
the foreclosed units. The Company believes that its historical loss experience
has been favorably affected by its ability to resell foreclosed/repossessed
units through its networ
As a result of the factors discussed above, earnings for second quarter 2003
were $677,231 or $.17 per basic and diluted share compared to $770,834 or $.19
per basic and diluted share for second quarter 2002. For the first six month of
2003 the net income was $1,277,814 or $.32 per basic and diluted share as
compared to $1,363,768 or $.33 per basic and diluted share for the first six
months of 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $12,349,688 at May 3, 2003
compared to $12,481,711 at November 2, 2002. Working capital was $18,391,386 at
May 3, 2003 compared to $17,404,615 at November 2, 2002. Nobility owns the
entire inventory for the Prestige retail sales centers and does not incur any
third party floor plan financing expenses. The inventories increased to
$7,890,727 at May 3, 2003, from $6,589,076 at November 2, 2002, primarily due to
retail sales centers model home inventory being increased to a more normal
stocking level and more retail sale of homes in various stages of completion
prior to final funding.
Nobility repurchased in the open market 24,700 shares of its common stock for
$216,408 during second quarter 2003 and purchased a total of 29,700 shares for
$260,158 during the first six months of 2003.
Nobility maintains a revolving credit agreement with a major bank providing for
borrowings of up to $2,500,000 with an option to increase the line to
$4,000,000. At May 3, 2003 and November 2, 2002, there were no amounts
outstanding under this agreement.
Consistent with normal practice, Nobility's operations are not expected to
require significant capital expenditures during fiscal 2003. Working capital
requirements for the home inventory for existing and any new retail sales
centers will be met with internal sources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
- ------------------------------------------
The Company applies judgment and estimates, which may have a material effect in
the eventual outcome of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, accounts
receivable, inventory and goodwill. The following explains the basis and the
procedure for each asset account where judgment and estimates are applied.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for the majority of retail sales upon the
occurrence of the following:
- its receipt of a down payment,
- completion of the home,
- title having passed to the retail home buyer,
- funds having been deposited into the Company's account,
- the home having been delivered and set up at the retail home buyer's
site, and
- completion of any other significant obligations.
The Company recognizes sales to 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (Continued)
- ------------------------------------------------------
Goodwill
Between 1995 and 1998 the Company acquired retail sales centers using the
purchase method of accounting. As a result, goodwill is reflected on the
consolidated balance sheets. A valuation based on the cash flow method was
performed and it was determined that the value of the goodwill and the net
assets in the accounts exceeded the estimated cash flow valuation. There is no
assurance that the value of the acquired sales centers will not decrease in the
future due to changing business conditions.
Vendor Rebates
The Company receives volume rebates from its vendors based upon reaching a
certain level of purchased materials during a specified period of time. Volume
rebates are estimated based upon annual purchases, and are adjusted quarterly if
the accrued volume rebate is applicable.
Dealer Volume Rebates
The Company pays a volume rebate to independent dealers based upon the dollar
volume of homes purchased and paid for by the dealer in excess of a certain
specific dollar amount during a specific time period. Dealer volume rebates are
accrued when sales are recognized.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income and the fair value adjustments for
marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Total
comprehensive income for the quarter ended May 3, 2003 was approximately
$804,000, which included the unrealized gains from the fair value adjustments on
marketable securities of approximately $127,000, net of tax of approximately
$54,000.
Short Term Investments
The Company's short term investments, consisting primarily of high grade debt
securities, are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity
securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts to maturity, which approximates fair value at May 3,
2003. The Company also owns investments that are considered to be
available-for-sale. The Company records any adjustments to the fair market value
of these available-for-sale securities to other comprehensive income. At May 3,
2003, all held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities were classified as
current assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------
FASB Statement No. 142 (FAS 142)
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 (FAS 142), "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets". FAS 142 Primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and
intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition (i.e., the post-acquisition
accounting) and supercedes APB 17, Intangible Assets. Under FAS 142, goodwill
and indefinite lived intangible asets will no longer be amortized and will be
tested for impairment at least annually at a reporting unit level. Additionally,
the amortization period of intangible assets with finite lives is no longer
limited to forty years. The Company implemented FAS 142, effective November 3,
2002, the beginning of its fiscal year. In connection with the adoption of FAS
142, the Company completed the transitional impairment testing of goodwill
during the six months ended May 3, 2003. The transitional impairment testing
resulted in no initial goodwill impairment charge for the six month period ended
May 3, 2003.

FASB Statement No. 144 (FAS 144)
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 (FAS 144), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". FAS 144 supersedes FAS 121 and
applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued operations) and
consequently amends Accounting Principles Board opinion No. 30 (APB 30),
Reporting Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment
of a Business. FAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed
of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to
sell. The Company implemented FAS 144, effective November 3, 2002, the beginning
of its fiscal year. The adoption of FAS 144 had no material impact on the
Company's reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45)
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect of
Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires that upon the issuance of a guarantee,
the guarantor must recognize the liability for the fair value of the obligation
it assumes under the guarantee. FIN 45 provides that initial recognition and
measurement should be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year
end. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of both
interim and annual periods that end after December 15, 2002. The Company did not
guarantee the indebtedness of others during the six months ended May 3, 2003.
Adoption of FIN 45 has not had an affect on the Company's financial statements.
FASB Statement No 148 (FAS 148)
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 (FAS 148), "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". FAS 148 amends FAS 123,
"Accouting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the
disclosure requirements of FAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The Company implemented FAS 148, effective November 3, 2002, the
beginning of its fiscal year.
FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46)
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin 51, "Consolidated Financialantatements," addresses
consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities which posses
certain characteristics. The interpretation requires that if a business
enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity,
the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest
entity must be included in the consolidated financial statements with those of
the business enterprise. This interpretation applies immediately to variable
interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest
entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. There were
no variable interest entities created or in which the Company obtained an
interest in the six months ended May 3, 2003. The Company is in the process of
determing the impact, if any, of adopting the provision of FIN 46.

FASB Statement No. 149 (FAS 149)
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149 (FAS 149), "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". FAS 149 amends
and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB
Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30,
2003. The Company did not have any derivative instruments or hedging activities
during the six months ended May 3, 2003. Adoption of FAS 149 is not expected to
materially affect the Company's financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 150 (FAS 150)
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150 (FAS 150), "Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity". FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer
classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an
asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an
obligation of the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Adoption of
FAS 150 is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------
Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws. Although Nobility believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, there are risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results to differ materially from expectations. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, competitive pricing pressures at both the
wholesale and retail levels, continued excess retail inventory, increase in
repossessions, changes in market demand, changes in interest rates, availability
of financing for retail and wholesale purchasers, realization of deferred tax
assets, consumer confidence, adverse weather conditions that reduce sales at
retail centers, the risk of manufacturing plant shutdowns due to storms or other
factors, and the impact of marketing and cost-management programs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not engage in investing in or trading market risk sensitive instruments.
We also do not purchase, for investing, hedging, or for purposes "other than
trading", instruments that are likely to expose us to market risk, whether
interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk.
We have not entered into any forward or futures contracts, purchased any options
or entered into any interest rate swaps.
We do not currently have any indebtedness as of May 3, 2003. If we were to
borrow from our revolving line of credit facility, 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and 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 - 14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing
date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation,
such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely
basis to material information relating to the Company (including its
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.
b. Changes in Internal Controls. Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been
any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect such controls.
