after taxes for first quarter 2014 included a $39,401 non-cash loss
from our investment in a retirement community limited partnership.
Diluted earnings per share for first quarter 2014 were $.03 per

strong with cash and cash equivalents and short term investments of
$12,101,200 and no outstanding debt. Working capital is $20,733,501
and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 15.4:1.
Stockholders' equity is $35,319,524 and the book value per share of
common stock increased to $8.70.
Terry Trexler, President, stated, "Our sales are affected by the
strength of the U.S. economy, interest rates and employment levels,
consumer confidence and the availability of retail financing. We
believe the lack of retail financing for manufactured housing
continues to have a negative effect on our sales, although the
overall economy has shown improvement. According to the Florida
Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the
period from November 2013 through January 2014 were up
approximately 12% from the same period last year. Although
shipments increased, the intermediate outlook for the manufactured
housing industry in Florida and the nation is uncertain. The
long-term demographic trends still favor future growth in the
Florida market area we serve. Management remains convinced that our
specific geographic market is one of the best long-term growth
areas in the country. The country must experience a better economy
with less uncertainty, continued improved sales in the existing
home market, declining unemployment, increased consumer confidence
and more retail financing for the sales of our affordable homes for
the Company to improve significantly. Management will continue to
evaluate Prestige's retail model centers in Florida, along with all
expenses and will react in a manner consistent with maintaining our
strong financial position".
For 46 years we have specialized in the design and production of
quality, affordable manufactured homes at our plant located in
central Florida. With our multiple retail sales centers, an
insurance subsidiary, and investments in retirement manufactured
home communities, we are the only vertically integrated
manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.
