Terry Trexler, President, stated, “Our sales and operations continue to be impacted by our country’s economic conditions and those in the state of Florida. Although the immediate outlook for the manufactured housing industry in Florida and the nation is improving, the long-term demographic trends still favor stronger growth in the Florida market area we serve. Our 47 years of experience in the Florida market and consumers’ increased need for more affordable housing should serve us well in the coming years. Management remains convinced that our specific geographic market is one of the best long-term growth areas in the country. The country must experience a better economy with less uncertainty, continued improved sales in the existing home market, declining unemployment, increased consumer confidence and more retail financing for the sales of our affordable homes, for the Company to improve significantly.

We understand that during this uncertain economic environment, maintaining our strong financial position is vital for future growth and success. Because of the recent historically poor business conditions in our market area, we will continue to evaluate Prestige’s retail model centers in Florida, along with all other expenses and react in a manner consistent with maintaining our strong financial position.”

We have specialized for 47 years in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes at our plant located in central Florida. With our multiple retail sales centers, an insurance subsidiary, and investments in retirement manufactured home communities, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.

MANAGEMENT WILL NOT HOLD A CONFERENCE CALL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL TERRY OR TOM TREXLER @ 800-476-6624 EXT 221 OR TERRY@NOBILITYHOMES.COM OR TOM@NOBILITYHOMES.COM
