  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.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

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

     Net sales in the first quarter of 2000 were $6,155,513 as compared to
$10,106,902 for the first quarter of 1999. The decrease in sales for the first
three months of 2000 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 managements

     Gross profit in the first quarter of 2000 as a percentage of net sales
was 24.1 percent compared to 27.6 percent for the same period last year. The
decrease in gross profit in the first quarter of 2000 was primarily due the
lower sales volume at both the Nobility's manufacturing plants and Prestige
retail sales centers.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, was 21.8 percent in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 16.9 percent
for the same period last year.  The increase in first quarter of 2000 selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was due to the
fixed overhead cost associated with the lower sales volume.   Selling, general
and administrative expenses declined approximately $364,000 in dollars,
primarily due to the closing of four retail sal

     Other income for first quarter 2000 was $522,837 of which $81,398 was
from interest on short term investments and $127,031 was undistributed earnings
from the Company's financing joint venture, Nobility 21. Earnings from Nobility
21 increased versus a year ago first quarter due to the sale of loans in an
asset backed securitazation which occurred during the first quarter 2000. The
Company received a $306,830 payment from TLT Communities against $1,518,754 of
advances that are non-interest bearing and have been fully reserved since 1991.
This compares to $77,374 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, of which $52,298
was from short term interest and $21,592 was undistributed earnings from
Nobility 21.  There was no payment from TLT communities during the first quarter
of fiscal 1999.

     As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the first
quarter of 2000 was $398,909 or $.08 per share, compared to $718,245 or $.15 per
share in the first quarter of 1999.

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

Cash and cash equivalents were $7,511,478 at February 5, 2000 compared to
$7,973,241 as of November 6, 1999.  Working capital increased to $15,110,543 at
February 5, 2000 from $15,095,927 at November 6, 1999.   Inventories decreased
to $8,393,054 in the first quarter of 2000 from $9,149,924 at the fourth quarter
of 1999, as a result of Prestige lowering the number of model homes in stock at
their retail sales centers.

The Company repurchased 59,700 shares of its common stock in the open market
during the first quarter of 2000 for $325,573.

The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement with a major bank providing
for borrowings up to $4.0 million.  At February 5, 2000 and November 6, 1999,
there were no amounts outstanding under this agreement.

Prestige closed one of its sales centers in Chiefland, Florida in November 1999
and made an impairment adjustment to goodwill in the amount of $18,143.

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.
