Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements 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 condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other period. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), filed on March 15, 2024. 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.

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. Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying condensed financial statements primarily relate to the determination and valuation of accounts receivable, loans to mobile home parks, consumer loans receivable, other notes receivable, loans to dealers, inventory obsolescence, income taxes, fair value of financial instruments and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Segment

Segment

The Company has one reportable segment. All of our activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of the Company supports the others. For example, the sale of manufactured homes includes providing transportation for dealers. We also provide financing options for customers to facilitate home sales. Accordingly, all significant operating and strategic decisions by the chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, are based upon analyses of our company as one operating segment.

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, Inventory Finance 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 an inventory finance arrangement. These types of 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. Inventory Finance Sales include sales of homes to independent retailers, or dealers, who then resell the homes to consumers. Retail Store Sales are homes sold through Company-owned retail locations. Inventory Finance Sales and Retail Store Sales of homes may be financed by the Company or a third party, or they may be paid in cash.

Consumer, MHP and dealer loans interest includes interest income from the consumer, MHP and dealer finance loan portfolios. Other revenue consists of contract deposit forfeitures, consignment fees, commercial lease rents, service fees and other miscellaneous income.

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 an 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 grant 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 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. The volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. 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 is allowed for 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.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

“Accounts receivable, net” includes receivables from direct sales of mobile homes, sales of parts and supplies to customers, inventory finance fees and interest.

Accounts receivable related to inventory finance fees and interest generally are due upon receipt, and all other accounts receivable generally are due within 30 days. Accounts receivable is 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 June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $601, $651 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, the title for the mobile homes remains with the Company, and the lease is accounted for as an operating lease.

Our typical lease agreement is for 96 months or 120 months. It requires the lessee to maintain the home and to return the home to us at the end of the lease in good condition. It provides the lessee with a termination option for a fee, an option to extend the lease and a purchase option at fair market value.

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 are sold by the Company through its standard sales and distribution channels. Depreciation expense for the leased property was $169 and $157 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $294 and $317 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Future minimum lease income under all operating leases for each of the next five years at June 30, 2024, is as follows:

Product Warranties

Product Warranties

The Company provides retail home buyers with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase on manufactured inventory. Product warranty costs are accrued when the covered homes are sold to customers. Product warranty expense is recognized based on the terms of the product warranty and the related estimated costs. Factors used to determine the warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty and the historical costs incurred in servicing the warranties. The accrued warranty liability is reduced as costs are incurred and the warranty liability balance is included as part of accrued liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet.

The following table summarizes activity within the warranty liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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, instead, requires an entity to 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 as a write down and affects entities holding financial assets and net investment 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.

In November, 2023 the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The update also requires disclosure regarding the chief operating decision maker and expands the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We currently are evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our 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 the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 10, Fair Value Measurement, which among other things provides the framework for measuring fair value. That 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.
