million of the increase was due to a gain from the repayment of the Company's
shared appreciation mortgages, $.7 million of the increase relates to the
improved results of SHS, including brokerage commissions and the remaining $.5
million of the increase relates to interest income.

SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION
The following table reflects property-level financial information as of and for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The "Same Property" data represents
information regarding the operation of communities owned as of January 1, 1997.
Site, occupancy, and rent data for those communities is presented as of the last
day of each period presented. The table includes sites where the Company's
interest is in the form of shared appreciation mortgage notes or where the
Company is providing financing and managing the properties. Such amounts relate
to the total portfolio data and include 923 and 2,070 sites in 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

(1) Occupancy % and weighted average rent relates to manufactured housing sites,
excluding recreational vehicle sites.

On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $2.7 million from $35.8
million to $38.5 million, or 7.6 percent, due primarily to increases in rents
and occupancy related charges including water and property tax pass through.
Also contributing to revenue growth was the increase of 761 leased sites at June
30, 1998 compared to June 30, 1997.

Property operating expenses increased by $.5 million from $9.9 million to $10.4
million or 4.5 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs and increases in
assessments and millage rates by local taxing authorities. Property EBITDA
increased by $2.3 million from $25.9 million to $28.2 million, or 8.7 percent.

Sites available for development in the total portfolio increased by 2,242 from
3,312 to 5,554 primarily in conjunction with land acquisitions for new
communities to be developed in Arizona, Michigan, Texas and Nevada.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $.3 million to $1.9 million at June 30,
1998 compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 1997 primarily because cash used
in investing activities exceeded cash provided by operating and financing
activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $10.3 million to $32.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $21.8 million for the
same period in 1997. Changes in working capital increased by $5.8 million and
income before minority interests, depreciation and amortization and gain related
to mortgage notes receivable increased by $4.5 million.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $35.5 million to $65.3
million from $29.8 million primarily due to $36.7 million related to acquisition
activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $32.7 million to $32.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $.1 million for the
same period in 1997. $49.8 million of this increase was due to additional net
debt borrowings and deferred financing costs offset by a $15.3 million reduction
in the proceeds received from stock options and dividend reinvestment plan.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its working capital provided by operating activities. The Company
expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt
maturities and property acquisitions through the issuance of equity or debt
securities, or interests in the Operating Partnership. The Company considers
these sources to be adequate and anticipates they will continue to be adequate
to meet operating requirements, capital improvements, investment in development,
and payment of distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements
in both the short and long term. The Company can also meet these short-term and
long-term requirements by utilizing its $100 million line of credit which bears
interest at LIBOR plus .90% and is due November 1, 1999.

In May 1998, the Company issued $65 million of senior notes which bear interest
at 6.77%, mature May 14, 2015, and are callable/redeemable May 16, 2005.        
Proceeds from this debt issuance were used to repay line of credit borrowings.

At June 30, 1998, the Company's debt to total market capitalization approximated
33.3% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units to shares of
common stock), with a weighted average maturity of approximately 8.0 years and a
weighted average interest rate of 7.2%.

Recurring capital expenditures approximated $2.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, including $.2 million for additional space and related
costs at corporate headquarters.

OTHER

Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as "net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. "Industry
analysts consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the operating
performance of an equity REIT primarily because the computation of FFO excludes
historical cost depreciation as an expense and thereby facilitates the
comparison of REITs which have different cost bases in their assets. Historical
cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real
estate assets diminishes predictably over time, whereas real estate values have
instead historically risen or fallen based upon market conditions. FFO does not
represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles and is a supplemental measure of performance that does not replace
net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating
activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, FFO is not intended as a
measure of a REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash
requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. The following table
calculates FFO for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands):
