The Board of Directors on September 5, 2025 authorized the Company to purchase up to two hundred thousand shares of its common stock in the open market for fiscal year 2026.

Terry Trexler, President, stated, "Total net sales decreased during the first nine months of 2025 as compared to same period in 2024 due to a decrease in the number of new retail homes sold in our company owned retail sales centers during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 as compared to 2024 partially offset by an increase in the number of homes sold to independent dealers during 2025, which have lower margins than retail sales.

We believe that potential customers have delayed or deferred purchasing decisions when considering the higher interest rate environment and the uncertainty of the economy, which continue to negatively impact sales. There also remain delays in the receipt of certain key production materials from suppliers, as well as back orders, price increases, tariffs, and labor shortages which continue to cause delays in the completion of the homes at our manufacturing facility. We also continue to experience inflation in several building products resulting in increases in our material and labor costs. We expect these challenges will continue throughout fiscal year 2025 and into fiscal 2026.

The current demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida and the U.S. has slowed. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments for the industry in Florida for the period from November 2024 through July 2025 declined by approximately 12% from the same period last year.

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

On June 5, 2025, we celebrated our 58th anniversary in business specializing in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured and modular homes. With multiple retail sales centers in Florida for over 35 years and an insurance agency subsidiary, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.
