3.   Stock Dividend
     --------------

     On December 15, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 10% stock
     dividend which was paid on February 19, 1999 to stockholders of record on
     January 15, 1999. This resulted in the issuance of 442,820 additional
     shares of common stock. The dividend was charged to retained earnings in
     the amount of approximately $6.5 million, which was based upon the fair
     value of the Company's common stock. All references to weighted-average
     shares outstanding and per share amounts included herein reflect the 10%
     stock dividend and its retroactive effect.

4.   Affiliated Entities
     -------------------

     In the first nine months of 2000, TLT paid $666,099 to the Company for
     advances that are non-interest bearing and have been fully reserved since
     1991.  The balance of the unpaid advances at August 5, 2000, which are
     fully reserved,  total $852,655.  The amount collected has been recorded as
     gain on recovery ot the TLT, Inc. note receivable in the accompanying
     consolidated financial statements.

                              NOBILITY HOMES, INC.
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations
---------------------

          Net sales for the three months ended August 5, 2000 decreased to
$7,638,698 from $9,424,872 for the same period last year. Net sales for the nine
months also decreased to $20,783,537 from $30,457,608 a year ago. Although third
quarter of 2000 net sales increased 24.0 and 9.2 percent over first and second
quarters of 2000 respectively, the decrease in sales from the comparable period
in 1999 was primarily due to a very competitive market caused by the industry's
excess retail inventory. This excess inventory has developed from industry
growth of new retail locations that has outpaced consumer demand. Tighter credit
standards, increasing mortgage interest rates and management's decision not to
discount homes to maintain sales volume also adversely impacted sales.

         Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 25.0 percent in the
third quarter of 2000 compared to 24.3 percent for the same period last year.
For the nine months gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 25.3 percent
compared to 26.8 percent for the same nine month period last year. The decrease
in gross profit for the nine months was primarily due to the lower sales volume
at both the Nobility manufacturing plants and Prestige retail sales centers.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, was 18.0 percent in the third quarter of 2000 compared to 18.4 percent
for the same period last year. For the nine months selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was 19.5 percent compared
to 17.5 percent for the same nine month period last year. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of net sales, was due
to the fixed overhead cost associated with the lower sales volume.

         Other income for third quarter 2000 was $430,622 of which $101,432 was
from interest on short term investments and $56,469 was undistributed earnings
from the Company's financing joint venture, Majestic 21. The Company also
received a $250,894 payment from TLT Communities against $1,103,548 of advances
that are non-interest bearing and have been fully reserved since 1991. For the
nine months of 2000 other income was $1,251,495 of which $264,552 was from
interest on short term investments and $266,432 was undistributed earnings from
the Company's financing joint venture, Majestic 21. The Company in fiscal year
2000 received a total of $666,099 in payments from TLT Communities. For the same
nine month period in fiscal 1999 other income was $544,108 of which $147,446 was
from interest income, $367,639 from Majestic 21 and $29,023 in miscellaneous
income. There was no payment from TLT Communities during the first nine months
of 1999.

          As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the third
quarter of 2000 was $605,326 or $.13 per share, compared to $451,507 or $.09 per
share in the third quarter of 1999. For the nine months ended August 5, 2000 net
income was $1,516,360 or $.33 per share, compared to $2,065,969 or $.42 per
share as of July 31, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents were $9,076,594 at August 5, 2000 compared to
$7,973,241 as of November 6, 1999.  Working capital was $14,600,582 at
August 5, 2000 compared to $15,095,927 at November 6, 1999.   Inventories
decreased to $7,648,756 in the third quarter of 2000 from $9,149,924 at the
fourth quarter of 1999, as a result of Prestige reducing the number of model
homes in stock at their retail sales centers.

Prestige purchased the land for two of its existing retail sales centers during
the second quarter of 2000 for $638,738. The Company had previously leased the
property from unrelated entities under operating lease agreements.

The Company repurchased 223,200 shares of its common stock in the open market
during the first nine months of 2000 for $1,170,429.

In the current nine months if fiscal 2000 Prestige closed one of its sales
centers in Chiefland, Florida, November 1999, and made an impairment adjustment
to goodwill in the amount of $18,000. For the nine months of fiscal year 1999
one sales center was closed and the Company made an impairment adjustment to
goodwill in the amount of $78,000.

The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement with a major bank providing
for borrowings up to $4.0 million. At August 5, 2000 there were no amounts
outstanding under this agreement.

Consistent with normal practice, the Company's operations are not expected to
require significant capital expenditures during fiscal year 2000. Working
capital requirements for the home inventory for new and existing sales centers
will be met with internal sources.
