                       MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


PRESENTATION:

     These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Manufactured Home
Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively,
the "Company"), have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations and should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1998 Annual
Report on Form 10-K (the "1998 Form 10-K"). The following Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements highlight significant changes to the Notes included in the
1998 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the SEC. The
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial
statements in order to conform with current period presentation.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS No. 131") which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 superseded Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise". SFAS No.
131 establishes standards for the manner in which public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards
for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect results of operations or
financial position of the Company. The Company has one reportable segment, which
is the operation of manufactured home communities.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each period. In 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").
SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per
share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options,
warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar
to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per
share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where appropriate
restated, to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements. The conversion of
Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units") has been excluded from the basic
earnings per share calculation. The conversion of an OP Unit to a share of
common stock will have no material effect on earnings per common share since the
allocation of earnings to an OP Unit is equivalent to the allocation of earnings
to a share of common stock.

NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     On April 9, 1999 and July 9, 1999, the Company paid a $.3875 per share
distribution for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
respectively, to stockholders of record on March 26, 1999 and June 25, 1999,
respectively.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company repurchased 578,600
shares of common stock in accordance with the common stock repurchase plan
approved by the Company's Board of Directors in March 1997 whereby the Company
is authorized to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. On May

plan for an additional 1,000,000 for a total authorized repurchase of up to
2,000,000 shares. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had repurchased 930,400
shares of common stock.

     On March 26, 1999, the Company, as general partner of MHC Operating Limited
Partnership ("Operating Partnership"), repurchased 200,000 OP Units from a
limited partner of the Operating Partnership.

NOTE 4 - RENTAL PROPERTY

     The Company is actively seeking to acquire additional manufactured home
communities and currently is engaged in negotiations relating to the possible
acquisition of a number of manufactured home communities. At any time these
negotiations are at varying stages which may include contracts outstanding to
acquire certain manufactured home communities which are subject to satisfactory
completion of the Company's due diligence review.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 5 - NOTES RECEIVABLE

     At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $3.2
million and $15.7 million in notes receivable, respectively. The Company has
$1.1 million in purchase money notes receivable with monthly principal and
interest payments at 7.0%, maturing on July 31, 2001. The Company also has
outstanding a $2.1 million loan, which bears interest at approximately 8.5% and
matures on June 1, 2003.

     On April 1, 1999 the Company effectively exchanged a $12.3 million loan
("The Meadows Loan") secured by a first mortgage lien on The Meadows Mobile Home
Park in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida ("The Meadows") for an equity interest in
the partnership that owns The Meadows. The Company accounts for The Meadows as
an acquisition and consolidates the results of operations.

NOTE 6 - LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

     As of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding
mortgage indebtedness of approximately $507.4 million and $500.6 million,
respectively, encumbering 71 and 72 of the Company's properties, respectively.
As of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the carrying value of such properties
was approximately $625 million and $634 million, respectively.

     The outstanding mortgage indebtedness consists in part of a $265.0 million
mortgage note (the "Mortgage Debt") collateralized by 29 properties beneficially
owned by MHC Financing Limited Partnership. The Mortgage Debt has a maturity
date of January 2, 2028 and pays interest at 7.015%. There is no principal
amortization until February 1, 2008, after which principal and interest are paid
from available cash flow and the interest rate is reset at a rate equal to the
then 10-year U.S. Treasury obligations plus 2.0%. In 1998, a joint venture
formed by the Company and Wolverine Investors L.L.C. borrowed approximately $67
million (the "College Heights Debt") at an interest rate of 7.18%, maturing July
1, 2008. The College Heights Debt is collateralized by 18 properties owned by
the joint venture. The Company also has outstanding debt on 23 properties in the
aggregate amount of approximately $173 million, which was recorded at fair
market value with the related discount or premium being amortized over the life
of the loan using the effective interest rate. In addition, the Company recorded
a $2.4 million loan in connection with a direct financing lease entered into in
May 1997. Scheduled maturities for the outstanding indebtedness, excluding the
Mortgage Debt and the College Heights Debt, are at various dates through
November 30, 2020, and fixed interest rates range from 7.25% to 9.05%.

     The Company has a $175 million unsecured line of credit with a bank (the
"Credit Agreement") bearing interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") plus 1.125%. The Credit Agreement matures on August 17, 2000, at which
time the Company may extend the maturity date to August 17, 2002 and the Credit
Agreement would be converted to a term loan. The Company pays a fee on the
average unused amount of such credit equal to 0.15% of such amount. As of June
30, 1999, $143 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

     The Company has a $100 million unsecured term loan (the "Term Loan") with a
group of banks with interest only payable monthly at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.0%.
The Term Loan matures on April 3, 2000 and may be extended to April 3, 2002.

     The Company has approximately $5.3 million of installment notes payable,
secured by a letter of credit, each with an interest rate of 6.5%, maturing
September 1, 2002. Approximately $4 million of the notes pay principal annually
and interest quarterly and the remaining $1.3 million of the notes pay interest
only quarterly.

     In July 1995, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the
"1998 Swap") fixing LIBOR on $100 million of the Company's floating rate debt at
6.4% for the period 1998 through 2003. The value of the 1998 Swap is impacted by
changes in the market rate of interest. Had the 1998 Swap been entered into on
June 30, 1999, the applicable LIBOR swap rate would have been 6.09%. Each 0.01%
increase or decrease in the applicable swap rate for the 1998 Swap increases or
decreases the value of the 1998 Swap versus its current value by approximately
$34,000. The Company accounts for the 1998 Swap as a hedge. Payments and
receipts under the 1998 Swap are accounted for as an adjustment to interest
expense.

as discussed in Note 14 to the 1998 Form 10-K, certain officers, directors,

     The Company has previously disclosed the outcome of the jury trial in the
litigation involving DeAnza Santa Cruz Mobile Estates, a property located in
Santa Cruz, California. Subsequent to such disclosure, on April 19, 1999, the
trial court denied all of the Company's and DeAnza's post-trial motions for
judgment notwithstanding the verdict, new trial and remittitur. The trial court
also awarded $700,000 of attorneys' fees to plaintiffs. The Company has appealed
the jury verdict and attorneys' fee award and believes that, while no assurance
can be given, such appeals will be successful.

     Subsequently, in June 1999 the DeAnza Santa Cruz Homeowners Association
filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Cruz (No.
135991) against the Company, MHC Acquisition One, L.L.C. and Starland Vistas,
Inc. The new lawsuit seeks damages, including punitive damages, for alleged
violations of California Civil Code Sections 798.31 and 798.41 arising from
implementation of utility rates previously approved by the California Public
Utilities Commission ("CPUC"). The Company and the other defendants have
demurred to (filed a motion to dismiss) the complaint on the grounds that the
Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the subject matter of the complaint given that
the CPUC has exclusive jurisdiction over utility rates and charges at the
property. Should the motion to dismiss not be successful, the Company intends to
vigorously defend the matter.

     The Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. All such proceedings, taken together, are not
expected to have a material adverse impact on the financial condition or results
of operations of the Company.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On July 23, 1999, the Company acquired Coquina Crossing, located in St.
Augustine, Florida for a purchase price of approximately $10.4 million. The
acquisition was funded with a borrowing under the Company's line of credit.
Coquina Crossing is a 748-site senior community with 269 developed sites and
zoned expansion potential of 479 sites. In addition, Realty Systems, Inc., an
affiliate of the Company, purchased the model home inventory at the community
for approximately $1.1 million.

     On July 29, 1999, August 3, 1999 and August 4, 1999 the Company repurchased
43,000 shares, 3,800 shares and 20,300 shares, respectively, of common stock in
accordance with the common stock repurchase plan as described in Note 3.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

     Since December 31, 1997, the gross investment in rental property has
increased from $936 million to $1.3 billion as of June 30, 1999 due to the
following acquisitions (collectively, the "Acquisition Properties"):

         (i)   The Ellenburg Communities acquired throughout 1998
         (ii)  Quail Meadows on January 8, 1998
         (iii) Sherwood Forest RV Resort on April 30, 1998
         (iv)  Casa Del Sol Resort III on May 14, 1998
         (v)   The College Heights Communities (a portfolio of eighteen
               properties) on June 4, 1998
         (vi)  Sunset Oaks on August 13, 1998
         (vii) The Meadows on April 1, 1999

The total number of sites owned or controlled has increased from 44,108 as of
December 31, 1997 to 53,534 as of June 30, 1999.

     The following table summarizes certain weighted average statistics for the
quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The "Core Portfolio" represents an
analysis of properties owned as of the beginning of both periods of comparison.

</TABLE>

     Base rental income ($45.2 million) increased $4.3 million or 10.4%. For the
Core Portfolio, base rental income increased approximately $1.2 million or 3.6%,
due to increased base rental rates. The remaining $3.1 million increase in base
rental income was attributed to the Acquisition Properties.

     Monthly base rent per site for the total portfolio increased 2.4%,
reflecting a 3.8% increase in monthly base rent per site for the Core Portfolio,
partially offset by the acquisition of properties with average base rents lower
than the Core Portfolio. Average monthly base rent per site for the Acquisition
Properties was $315 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

                       MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES, INC.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(CONTINUED)

     Weighted average occupied sites increased by 3,121 sites while occupancy
percentage decreased 0.3% due to the addition of the Acquisition Properties to
the portfolio with lower occupancy percentages. Occupied sites at the Core
Portfolio remained stable.

     Recreational Vehicle ("RV") base rental income ($1.6 million) increased
$138,000 or 9.5% primarily due to the addition of four RV communities in 1998.

     Utility and other income ($5.3 million) increased $833,000 or 18.5%,
primarily due to an increase in utility income, real estate tax pass-ons and
other income of $818,000 attributed to the Acquisition Properties. The remaining
$15,000 reflected increased real estate tax pass-ons at the Core Portfolio of
$78,000 partially offset by lower other corporate income.

     Interest income ($188,000) decreased $647,000 or 77.5%, primarily due to
decreased interest earned on notes receivable and to the recognition of interest
earned on notes receivable related to the Ellenburg Communities in 1998.
Short-term investments had average balances for the quarters ended June 30, 1999
and 1998 of approximately $4.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively, which
earned interest income at an effective rate of 4.1% and 5.4% per annum,
respectively. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments of $21.5 million.

     Property operating and maintenance expenses ($14.3 million) increased $1.1
million or 8.7%. Expenses at the Acquisition Properties increased approximately
$1.1 million. Expenses at the Core Portfolio increased slightly as increases in
payroll and utility expenses were partially offset by decreased repairs and
maintenance, property general and administrative expenses, and insurance and
other expenses. Property operating and maintenance expenses represented 27.2% of
total revenues in 1999 and 27.4% in 1998.

     Real estate taxes ($4.1 million) increased $602,000 or 17.0% of which
$394,000 was attributed to the Acquisition Properties and $208,000 relates to
slightly increased rates at the Core Portfolio. Real estate taxes represented
7.9% of total revenues in 1999 and 7.4% in 1998.

     Property management expenses ($2.0 million) increased $349,000 or 20.7%.
The increase was primarily due to incremental management costs related to the
addition of the Acquisition Properties. Property management expenses represented
3.9% of total revenues in 1999 and 3.5% in 1998.

     General and administrative expense ("G&A") ($1.5 million) increased
$126,000 or 9.4%. The increase was primarily due to increased payroll resulting
from salary increases and increased public company related expenses. G&A
represented 2.8% of total revenues in both 1999 and 1998.

     Interest and related amortization ($13.5 million) increased $1.1 million or
9.0%. The increase was due to higher weighted average outstanding debt balances
during the period, partially offset by slightly decreased effective interest
rate. The weighted average outstanding debt balances for the quarters ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 were $752.4 million and $670.1 million, respectively. The
effective interest rates were 7.1% and 7.3% per annum, respectively. Interest
and related amortization represented 25.8% of total revenues in 1999 and 25.9%
in 1998.

                       MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES, INC.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(CONTINUED)

     In July 1995, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the
"1998 Swap") fixing LIBOR on $100 million of the Company's floating rate debt at
6.4% for the period 1998 through 2003. The value of the 1998 Swap is impacted by
changes in the market rate of interest. Had the 1998 Swap been entered into on
June 30, 1999, the applicable LIBOR swap rate would have been 6.09%. Each 0.01%
increase or decrease in the applicable swap rate for the 1998 Swap increases or
decreases the value of the 1998 Swap versus its current value by approximately
$34,000. The Company accounts for the 1998 Swap as a hedge. Payments and
receipts under the 1998 Swap are accounted for as an adjustment to interest
expense.

     Depreciation on corporate assets ($234,000) increased $68,000 or 41.0% due
to fixed asset additions related to information and communication systems.
Depreciation on corporate assets represented 0.4% of total revenues in 1999 and
0.3% in 1998.

     Depreciation on real estate assets and other costs ($8.3 million) increased
$1.7 million or 26.6% as a result of the addition of the Acquisition Properties.
Depreciation on real estate assets and other costs represented 15.8% of total
revenues in 1999 and 13.7% in 1998.

</TABLE>

     Base rental income ($90.0 million) increased $11.9 million or 15.2%. For
the Core Portfolio, base rental income increased approximately $2.3 million or
3.7%, due to increased base rental rates. The remaining $9.6 million increase in
base rental income was attributed to the Acquisition Properties.

     Monthly base rent per site for the total portfolio increased 3.0%,
reflecting a 3.5% increase in monthly base rent per site for the Core Portfolio,
partially offset by the acquisition of properties with average base rents lower
than the Core Portfolio. Average monthly base rent per site for the Acquisition
Properties was $315 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     Weighted average occupied sites increased by 4,662 sites while occupancy
percentage decreased 0.6% due to the addition of the Acquisition Properties to
the portfolio with lower occupancy percentages. Occupied sites at the Core
Portfolio remained stable.

     RV base rental income ($5.1 million) increased $1.8 million primarily due
to the addition of four RV communities in 1998.

     Utility and other income ($10.8 million) increased $1.5 million or 16.6%,
primarily due to an increase in utility income, real estate tax pass-ons and
other income at the Acquisition Properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Interest income ($575,000) decreased $1.0 million or 64.5%, primarily due
to decreased interest earned on notes receivable. Short-term investments had
average balances for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 of
approximately $3.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, which earned interest
income at an effective rate of 4.5% and 5.5% per annum, respectively.

     Property operating and maintenance expenses ($28.7 million) increased $3.5
million or 13.9%. Expenses at the Acquisition Properties increased approximately
$3.6 million. Expenses at the Core Portfolio decreased slightly as decreases in
repairs and maintenance, property general and administrative expenses, and
insurance and other expenses were partially offset by increased payroll and
utility expenses. Property operating and maintenance expenses represented 26.9%
of total revenues in 1999 and 27.2% in 1998.

     Real estate taxes ($8.4 million) increased $1.3 million or 17.9% of which
approximately $1.0 million was attributed to the Acquisition Properties and
$281,000 relates to slightly increased rates at the Core Portfolio.
Real estate taxes represented 7.8% of total revenues in 1999 and 7.7% in 1998.

     Property management expenses ($4.1 million) increased $650,000 or 18.8%.
The increase was primarily due to incremental management costs related to the
addition of the Acquisition Properties. Property management expenses represented
3.9% of total revenues in 1999 and 3.7% in 1998.

     G&A expense ($3.2 million) increased $221,000 or 7.5%. The increase was
primarily due to increased payroll resulting from salary increases and increased
public company related expenses. G&A represented 3.0% of total revenues in 1999
and 3.2% in 1998.

     Interest and related amortization ($26.9 million) increased $4.3 million or
19.3%. The increase was due to higher weighted average outstanding debt balances
during the period, partially offset by slightly decreased effective interest
rate. The weighted average outstanding debt balances for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 were $747.8 million and $604.9 million, respectively. The
effective interest rates were 7.2% and 7.3% per annum, respectively. Interest
and related amortization represented 25.1% of total revenues in 1999 and 24.3%
in 1998.

     Depreciation on corporate assets ($480,000) increased $20,000 or 4.3% due

0.5% in 1998.

     Depreciation on real estate assets and other costs ($16.5 million)
increased $4.2 million or 33.6% as a result of the addition of the Acquisition
Properties. Depreciation on real estate assets and other costs represented 15.5%
of total revenues in 1999 and 13.3% in 1998.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents increased by $7.9 million when compared to
December 31, 1998. The major components of this increase were cash provided by
operating activities and net proceeds from borrowings on the line of credit,
partially offset by repurchases of common stock and improvements to rental
properties.

     Net cash provided by operating activities remained stable at approximately
$40.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Net cash provided
by operating activities reflected a $4.1 million increase in funds from
operations ("FFO"), as discussed below, offset by timing of payments on accounts
payable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

     FFO was defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT") in March 1995 as net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ["GAAP"]), before allocation to
minority interests, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus
real estate depreciation and after adjustments for significant non-recurring
items, if any. The Company computes FFO in accordance with the NAREIT
definition, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized
by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other
REITs. Funds available for distribution ("FAD") is defined as FFO less
non-revenue producing capital expenditures and amortization payments on mortgage
loan principal. The Company believes that FFO and FAD are useful to investors as
a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows
from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, they
provide investors an understanding of the ability of the Company to incur and
service debt and to make capital expenditures. FFO and FAD in and of themselves
do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an
indication of the Company's performance or to net cash flows from operating
activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of liquidity and are not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

     The  following  table  presents a  calculation  of FFO and FAD for the six
months and quarters  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

     Net cash used in investing activities decreased $192.6 million from $201.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $8.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, primarily due to the acquisition of Quail Meadows,
Sherwood Forest RV Resort, Casa Del Sol Resort III, the College Heights
Communities, acquisition advances related to the Ellenberg Communities, the
purchase of short-term investments, the funding of The Meadows Loan, and the
investment in Plantation on the Lake and Trails West in 1998.

     Capital expenditures for improvements were approximately $5.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $5.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. Of the $5.4 million, approximately $3.6 million represented
improvements to existing sites. The Company anticipates spending approximately
$3.3 million on improvements to existing sites during the remainder of 1999. The
Company believes these improvements are necessary in order to increase and/or
maintain occupancy levels and maintain competitive market rents for new and
renewing residents. The remaining $1.8 million represented costs to develop
expansion sites at certain of the Company's properties and other corporate
headquarter costs. The Company is currently developing an additional 97 sites
which should be available for occupancy in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

     Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities decreased $189.6
million from $165.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to ($24.2)
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This is primarily due to net
borrowings on the line of credit in the six months ended June 30, 1998, as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the proceeds from issuance of
common stock in the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to repurchases of
common stock in the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     Distributions to common stockholders and minority interests increased
approximately $1.4 million. On April 9, 1999 and July 9, 1999, the Company paid
a $.3875 per share distribution for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and June
30, 1999, respectively, to stockholders of record on March 26, 1999 and June 25,
1999, respectively. Return of capital on a GAAP basis was $.08 per share and
$.12 per share for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
respectively.

     The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements,
including its distributions, generally through its working capital, net cash
provided by operating activities and availability under the existing line of
credit. The Company expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements
such as scheduled debt maturities, property acquisitions and capital
improvements by long-term collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings
including borrowings under its existing line of credit and the issuance of debt
securities or additional equity securities in the Company, in addition to
working capital.

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities", which is required to be adopted in years beginning after
June 15, 1999. SFAS No. 133 permits early adoption as of the beginning of any
fiscal quarter after its issuance. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement No.
137 which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 until quarters beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Company has not yet determined the date at which it
will adopt SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133 will require the Company to recognize all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges
must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives
will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
Company has not yet determined what the effect of SFAS No. 133 will be on the
earnings and financial position of the Company, when implemented.


YEAR 2000

     The year 2000 issue ("Year 2000") is the result of computer programs and
embedded processors ("Systems") failing to properly account for the end of 1999
and the rollover to the year 2000. The Year 2000 issue comes from three
date-related problems and practices. First, some Systems define the year-portion
of date fields with two digits instead of four. As a result, programs and
equipment that have time-sensitive functions may interpret a date using "00" as
being 1900 rather than 2000. Second, the year 2000 is a leap year. There is a
possibility that some Systems may fail to account for the leap day properly.
Third, in practice, an artificial date of "9/9/99" is sometimes used as a
fictitious date when testing Systems. It is possible that some Systems will
reject the actual date of "September 9, 1999" as fictitious. Problems arising
from one or more of these problems and practices could result in failure of one
or more Systems causing a disruption of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, collect rents, or engage
in similar normal business activities.

YEAR 2000 (CONTINUED)

     Utilizing purchasing records, inventory listings and direct communication
with employees, the Company has identified all of its information technology
("IT") and non-IT Systems and assessed them for Year 2000 readiness. Critical
Systems include, but are not limited to: accounts receivable, sales and
inventory, human resources and payroll, accounts payable and general ledger,
Lotus Notes, Microsoft Office, tax preparation and filing software, computers,
data networking equipment, telephone systems, fax machines and photocopiers,
security and life safety systems (elevators, alarm systems), process control
systems (pool pumps and chlorine systems, sprinkler systems), cable television
systems, lift stations, and drinking water and waste water treatment plants. The
Company, with the assistance of an outside consultant, has completed the
inventory, research and assessment phases of its preparations for the year 2000.
The Company has completed assessment of its drinking water and waste water
treatment and lift station facilities for which it is responsible, and has
reviewed the consultant's comprehensive report. There were no material problems
found during its consultant's review. The Company is discussing with all of its
significant suppliers the extent to which the Company's interface Systems are
vulnerable to third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues.
The Company anticipates that scheduled system upgrades to its accounts
receivable system, accounts payable and general ledger system, and payroll
system will remediate current Year 2000 concerns. Remediation steps and
development of contingency plans will continue through the third quarter of
1999. The Company has set a deadline for year 2000 readiness of September 30,
1999. There can be no guarantee that the Systems of other companies on which the
Company's Systems rely will be timely converted and will not have an adverse
effect on the Company's Systems.

     Through June 30, 1999, the Company's costs associated with remediation
efforts have been immaterial. In 1998, the Company retained a full-time contract
employee to perform Year 2000 research and documentation at an annual fee of
approximately $45,000 and the Company will retain the employee through 1999. The
cost to retain the consultant to assess the drinking water and waste water
treatment and cable television facilities has been budgeted at less than
$50,000. To date, approximately $35,000 of that amount has been spent. The
balance will remain budgeted for contingency planning. The Company expects that
replacement and upgrade of approximately 150 computers will be required with a
capital budget of approximately $200,000. The Company's total Year 2000 project
costs and estimates to complete the same do not include the estimated costs and
time associated with the impact of third-party Year 2000 issues. The total cost
of the Year 2000 project is estimated to be immaterial assuming third parties
remediate their own Year 2000 issues. This assumption is based on management's
best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future
events, and there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

     The Company continues its contingency planning for critical operational
areas that might be affected by the Year 2000 issue if compliance is delayed.
Aside from catastrophic failure of banks, governmental agencies, etc., the
Company believes that it could continue operations. For example, rent can be
collected and recorded by manual methods using hardcopy reports from previous
months; payroll can be processed by issuing manual checks relying on existing
payroll registers; bills can be paid as long as banks can process checks; basic
financial statements can be prepared manually and wastewater treatment plants
can be controlled manually.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    The Company's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates as a
portion of the Company's outstanding indebtedness is at variable rates based on
LIBOR. The Company's $175 million line of credit ($143 million outstanding at
June 30, 1999) bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.125% and the Company's $100
million Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.0%. The Company has the 1998
Swap which fixes LIBOR at 6.4% on $100 million of the Company's floating rate
debt for the period 1998 through 2003. If LIBOR increased/decreased by 1.0%
during the six months ended June 30, 1999, interest expense would have
increased/decreased by approximately $717,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 based on the average balance outstanding under the Company's line of credit
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Information relating to quantitive and
qualitive disclosure about market risk as it relates to the 1998 Swap is set
forth in Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, and in Note 6 "Long Term Borrowings" in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Such information is incorporated herein.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company has previously disclosed the outcome of the jury trial in the
litigation involving DeAnza Santa Cruz Mobile Estates, a property located in
Santa Cruz, California. Subsequent to such disclosure, on April 19, 1999, the
trial court denied all of the Company's and DeAnza's post-trial motions for
judgment notwithstanding the verdict, new trial and remittitur. The trial court
also awarded $700,000 of attorneys' fees to plaintiffs. The Company has appealed
the jury verdict and attorneys' fee award and believes that, while no assurance
can be given, such appeals will be successful.

     Subsequently, in June 1999 the DeAnza Santa Cruz Homeowners Association
filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Cruz (No.
135991) against the Company, MHC Acquisition One, L.L.C. and Starland Vistas,
Inc. The new lawsuit seeks damages, including punitive damages, for alleged
violations of California Civil Code Sections 798.31 and 798.41 arising from
implementation of utility rates previously approved by the California Public
Utilities Commission ("CPUC"). The Company and the other defendants have
demurred to (filed a motion to dismiss) the complaint on the grounds that the
Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the subject matter of the complaint given that
the CPUC has exclusive jurisdiction over utility rates and charges at the
property. Should the motion to dismiss not be successful, the Company intends to
vigorously defend the matter.

The Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. All such proceedings, taken together, are not
expected to have a material adverse impact on the financial condition or results
of operations of the Company.
