Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 8-03. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial position for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or any other period. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”). The accompanying financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term primarily relate to the determination of accounts receivable, loans to mobile home parks, consumer loans, other notes receivable, inventory obsolescence, income taxes, fair value of financial instruments and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Product sales primarily consist of sales of mobile homes to consumers and mobile home parks through various sales channels, which include Direct Sales, Commercial Sales, Consignment Sales, and Retail Store Sales. Direct Sales include homes sold directly to independent retailers or customers that are not financed by the Company and are not sold under a consignment arrangement. These homes are generally paid for prior to shipment. Commercial Sales include homes sold to mobile home parks under commercial loan programs or paid for upfront. The Company provides floor plan financing for independent retailers, which can take the form of a consignment arrangement or an inventory financing arrangement. Consignment Sales under the consignment arrangement are considered sales of consigned homes from independent dealers to individual customers. Consignment Sales under the inventory financing arrangement are

considered sales of homes to the independent dealer. Retail Store Sales are homes sold through Company-owned retail locations. Consignment Sales and Retail Sales may be financed by the Company, by a third party, or paid in cash.

Revenue from product sales is recognized when the performance obligation under the terms of a contract with our customer is satisfied, which typically occurs upon delivery and transfer of title to the home, as this depicts when control of the promised good is transferred to our customers. For inventory financed sales, the independent dealer enters into a financing arrangement with the Company and is required to make monthly interest payments and an annual curtailment payment for the first two years. After three years, they are required to payoff any remaining principle balance. Interest income is separately recorded in the statement of income. For other financed sales by the Company, the individual customer enters into a sales and financing contract and is required to make a down payment. These financed sales contain a significant financing component and any interest income is separately recorded in the statement of income.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring the homes to the customers. Sales and other similar taxes collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The Company made an accounting policy election to account for any shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control as a fulfillment cost that is accrued when control is transferred. Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties for a period of twelve months that are a guarantee of the home’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient to expense the incremental costs of obtaining a contract if the amortization period of the asset that the Company would have otherwise recognized is one year or less. Contract costs, which include commissions incurred related to the sale of homes, are expensed at the point-in-time when the related revenue is recognized. Warranty costs and contract costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. Warranty costs were $627 and $565 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, MHP sales to an independent third party and it’s affiliates accounted for $5,647 or 13.0% and $3,134 or 6.7% of our product sales, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 5.0% of our product sales.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, product sales included $2,623 and $2,999 of costs relating to subcontracted production for commercial sales, reimbursed dealer expenses for consignment sales, and certain other similar costs incurred for retail store and commercial sales.

Other revenue consists of consignment fees, commercial lease rents, service fees and other miscellaneous income. Consignment fees are charged to independent retailers on a monthly basis for homes held by the independent retailers pursuant to a consignment arrangement until the home is sold to an individual customer. Consignment fees are determined as a percentage of the home’s wholesale price to the independent dealer. Revenue recognition for consignment fees is recognized over time using the output method as it provides a faithful depiction of the Company’s performance toward completion of the performance obligation under the contract and the value transferred to the independent retailer for the time the home is held under consignment. Revenue for commercial leases is recognized as earned monthly over a contractual period of 96 or 120 months. Revenue for service fees and miscellaneous income is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on the award’s estimated grant date fair value in order to recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest. The Company has elected to record forfeitures as they occur. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards and adjusted as forfeitures occur.

The fair value of each option grant with only service-based conditions is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value of each restricted stock unit (the ”RSU”) with only service-based conditions is calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of each RSU with market based conditions is estimated using the Monte-Carlo Simulation valuation model.

The fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the Company to make certain predictive assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities that correspond to the expected life of the award. As a public entity with a small public float and limited trading of its common shares on the NASDAQ Global Market, it was not practicable for the Company to estimate the volatility of its common shares; therefore, management estimated volatility based on the historical volatilities of a small group of companies considered as close to comparable to the Company as available, all equally weighted, over the expected life of the option. Management concluded that this group is more characteristic of the Company’s business than a broad industry index. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that the awards are expected to be outstanding based on the “simplified” method, which can be utilized by companies that cannot reasonably estimate the expected life of options based on its historical award exercise experience. The Company does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock.

The fair value of RSU awards with market based conditions on the date of grant is estimated using the Monte-Carlo Simulation valuation model, and the Company uses the following methods to determine its underlying assumptions: expected volatilities are based on the Company’s historic stock price volatility; the expected term of the awards is based on the performance measurement period; the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bond yield issued with similar life terms to the expected life of the grant.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Included in accounts receivable “net” are receivables from direct sales of mobile homes, sales of parts and supplies to customers, consignment fees and interest. Accounts receivable “dealer financed” are receivables for interest, fees and curtailments owed by dealers under their inventory finance agreements.

Accounts receivables “net” are generally due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivables “dealer financed” are due upon receipt and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines the allowance by considering several factors, including the aging of the past due balance, the customer’s payment history, and the Company’s previous loss history. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for amounts that are deemed to be uncollectible. On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $252 and $279, respectively.

Leased Property

Leased Property

The Company offers mobile home park operators the opportunity to lease mobile homes for rent in lieu of purchasing the homes for cash or under a longer-term financing agreement. In this arrangement title to the mobile homes remains with the Company.

The standard lease agreement is typically for 96 months or 120 months. Under the lease agreement, the lessee (mobile home park operator) uses the mobile homes as personal property to be rented at the lessee's mobile home park. The lessee makes monthly, periodic lease payments to the Company over the term of the lease. The lessee is responsible for maintaining the homes during the term of the lease. The lessee is also responsible for repairing any damage caused by force majeure events. At the end of the lease term or in the event of default, the lessee is required to deliver the homes to the Company with all improvements and in substantially the same condition as existed at the commencement of the lease. The lessee may terminate the lease on 30 days written notice and pay a lease termination fee equal to 10% of the remaining lease payments or six months’ rent, whichever is greater. The lessee has an option to purchase the homes at the end of the lease term for fair market value based on an agreed determination of fair market value by both parties using comparable sales, recent appraisal, or NADA official guidance. The lessee must provide the Company with 30 days written notice prior to expiration of the lease of intent to purchase the property for fair market value. The lease also includes a renewal option whereby the lessee has the option to extend the lease for an additional 48 months (the extended term) at the same terms and conditions as the original lease. The lessee must notify the Company of the intent to exercise this renewal option not less than six months prior to expiration of the lease term. The leased mobile homes are included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheet, capitalized at manufactured cost and depreciated over a 15 year useful life. Homes returned to the Company upon expiration of the lease or in the event of default will be sold by the Company through its standard sales and distribution channels. Depreciation expense for the leased property was $160 and $170 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Future minimum lease income under all operating leases for each of the next five years at March 31, 2023, are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has elected to use longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under the JOBS Act as an emerging growth company.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. As an emerging growth company, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, including the package of practical expedients; however, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. Additionally, the Company elected the optional transition method that allowed for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and did not restate prior periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in an increase in total assets and total liabilities of $3,258 at transition. However, this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated statement of income or the consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 5 for further discussion on leases.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, requires an entity to instead reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP. However, Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than a write-down and affects entities holding financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company used the longer phase-in period for adoption, and accordingly this ASU became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in an increase in portfolio allowances of $900 at transition. The $900 was comprised of a $225 increase for MHP notes, a $187 increase for dealer financed contracts and a $488 increase for other notes receivable. The cumulative effect of the adoption was a net decrease of $698 to beginning retained earnings at January 1, 2023.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The amendments in this update extend the transition relief period for reference rate reform from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The amendments in ASU 2022-06 apply to all entities, subject to meeting

certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2022-06 was effective upon issuance. The new standard has had no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and other regulatory bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for its investments and derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, which among other things provides the framework for measuring fair value. This framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements). The three levels of fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, are as follows:

Level I       Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level II      Significant observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for which inputs to the valuation methodology include: (1) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; (3) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable; and (4) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level II input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level III     Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The asset or liability fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company has used derivatives to manage risks related to interest rate movements. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. Interest rate swap contracts are recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheets and are measured at fair value. The fair value was calculated and provided by the lender, a Level II valuation technique. Management reviewed the fair values for the instruments as provided by the lender and determined the related asset and liability to be an accurate estimate of future gains and losses to the Company. The Company was not a party to any interest rate swap agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments in US Treasury Notes, accounts receivable, consumer loans, MHP Notes, other notes, accounts payable, lines of credit, notes payable, and the dealer portion of consumer loans.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term maturities or expected settlement dates of these instruments. This is considered a Level I valuation technique. The investment in US Treasury Notes has quoted prices available in active markets that the Company can access at measurement dates. The Company determined that the fair value of the investment in US Treasury Notes was approximately $8,448 compared to the book value of $8,452 as of March 31, 2023, and a fair value of approximately $8,409 compared to the book value of $8,412 as of December 31, 2022. This is considered a Level I valuation technique. The lines of credit, notes payable, part of the MHP Notes and part of the other notes receivables have variable interest rates that reflect market rates and their fair value approximates their carrying value. This is considered a Level II valuation technique. The Company also assessed the fair value of the consumer loans receivable, the fixed rate MHP Notes and the portion of other note receivables with fixed rates based on the discounted value of the remaining principal and interest cash flows. The Company determined that the fair value of the consumer loan portfolio was approximately $140,900 compared to the book value of $141,316 as of March 31, 2023, and a fair value of approximately $138,800 compared to the book value of $139,009 as of December 31, 2022. The Company determined that the fair value of the fixed rate MHP Notes was approximately $143,500 compared to the book value of $145,333 as of March 31, 2023, and a fair value of approximately $128,400 compared to the book value of $129,966 as of December 31, 2022. The Company determined that the fair value of the fixed rate other notes was approximately $24,400 compared to the book value of $24,972 as of March 31, 2023, and a fair value of approximately $21,600 compared to the book value of $22,722 as of December 31, 2022. This is a Level II valuation technique.
