Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a)

On April 3, 2013, Crowe Horwath LLP declined to stand for re-appointment as Nobility Homes, Inc.’s (the “Company”) independent certified public accounting firm after completion of the audit for the fiscal year ended November 5, 2011.

The audit reports of Crowe Horwath LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Nobility Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended fiscal years ended November 5, 2011 and November 6, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles although the Company changed its accounting relating to the balance sheet classification of its pre-owned inventory during the year ended November 5, 2011 and applied this accounting retrospectively to the November 6, 2010 balance sheet.

In connection with the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended November 5, 2011 and November 6, 2010 and through the date of this Current Report, there were: (1) no disagreements between the Company and Crowe Horwath LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Crowe Horwath LLP, would have caused Crowe Horwath LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (2) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided Crowe Horwath LLP a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that Crowe Horwath LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Crowe Horwath LLP agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter dated April 5, 2013 furnished by Crowe Horwath LLP in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b)

On April 4, 2013, the Company retained Averett Warmus Durkee, P.A. to serve as its independent certified public accounting firm. During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 3, 2013, the Company had not consulted with Averett Warmus Durkee, P.A. regarding any of the following:

(i) The application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed;

(ii) The type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and none of the following was provided to the Company: (a) a written report, or (b) oral advice that Averett Warmus Durkee, P.A. concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

(iii) Any matter that was subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K; or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
