MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, income before other, net and
minority interests increased by 17.6 percent from $26.4 million to $31.0
million, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase
was due to increased revenues of $9.2 million while expenses increased by $4.6
million.
Income from property increased by $6.0 million from $93.2 million to $99.2
million, or 6.4 percent, due primarily to rent increases and other community
revenues ($4.5 million), lease up of manufactured home sites including new
developments ($2.5 million), and acquisitions ($2.5 million), offset by a
revenue reduction of $3.5 million due to the sale of four communities during
1999.
Other income increased by $3.3 million from $6.6 million to $9.9 million due
primarily to an increase in interest income from notes receivable ($2.7 million)
and development fee income ($1.5 million) offset by a $1.3 million reduction in
income from affiliate.
Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $1.0 million from $20.4
million to $21.4 million, or 4.8 percent, due primarily to acquisitions.
Real estate taxes increased by $0.1 million from $6.7 million to $6.8 million
due primarily to acquisitions.
Property management expenses increased by $0.2 million from $2.0 million to $2.2
million representing 2.2 percent and 2.1 percent of income from property in 2000
and 1999, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million from $2.8 million
to $3.0 million, representing 2.7 percent of total revenues in 2000 and 1999.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA" defined
as total revenues less property operating and maintenance, real estate taxes,
property management and general and administrative expenses) increased by $7.6
million from $68.1 million to $75.7 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues
increased to 69.4 percent in 2000 compared to 68.2 percent in 1999.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.8 million from $21.3 million to
$23.1 million, or 8.3 percent, due primarily to acquisitions and development of
communities in 2000 and 1999.
Interest expense increased by $1.2 million from $20.4 million to $21.6 million,
or 6.1 percent, due primarily to additional investments in rental property and
notes receivable.
The $4.6 million gain included in other, net primarily relates to proceeds from
the condemnation of certain land in two communities by the state transportation
department.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, income before other, net and
minority interests increased by 16.9 percent from $8.7 million to $10.2 million,
when compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase was due
to increased revenues of $2.9 million while expenses increased by $1.4 million.
Income from property increased by $1.8 million from $31.3 million to $33.1
million, or 5.8 percent, due primarily to rent increases and other community
revenues ($1.3 million), acquisitions ($1.0 million) and lease up of
manufactured home sites including new developments ($0.6 million), offset by a
revenue reduction of $1.1 million due to the sale of four communities during
1999.
Other income increased by $1.1 million from $2.8 million to $3.9 million due
primarily to an increase in interest income from notes receivable ($0.7 million)
and development fee income ($0.7 million) offset by a $0.6 million reduction in
income from affiliate.
Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.4 million from $7.1
million to $7.5 million, or 5.4 percent, due primarily to acquisitions.
Real estate taxes remained constant at $2.3 million.
Property management expenses remained constant at $0.7 million representing 2.2
percent and 2.3 percent of income from property in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
General and administrative expenses remained constant at $0.9 million,
representing 2.5 percent and 2.6 percent of total revenues in 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
EBITDA increased by $2.4 million from $23.1 million to $25.5 million. EBITDA as
a percent of revenues increased to 69.0 percent in 2000 compared to 67.8 percent
in 1999.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.6 million from $7.3 million to
$7.9 million, or 7.8 percent, due primarily to acquisitions and development of
communities in 2000 and 1999.
Interest expense increased by $0.3 million from $7.2 million to $7.5 million, or
4.9 percent, due primarily to additional investments in rental property and
notes receivable.
The $4.6 million gain included in other, net primarily relates to proceeds from
the condemnation of certain land in two communities by the state transportation
department.

SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION
The following table reflects property-level financial information as of and for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The "Same Property" data
represents information regarding the operation of communities owned as of
January 1, 1999 and September 30, 2000. Site, occupancy, and rent data for those
communities is presented as of the last day of each period presented. The total
portfolio column differentiates from the same property column by including
financial information for managed but not owned communities, recreational
vehicle communities, new development and acquisition communities and income
related to dealer and manufacturer agreements.

On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $3.8 million from $71.2
million to $75.0 million, or 5.3 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 270 leased sites at
September 30, 2000 compared to September 30, 1999.
Property operating expenses increased by $1.0 million from $18.5 million to
$19.5 million or 5.5 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs. Property
EBITDA increased by $2.7 million from $52.7 million to $55.4 million, or 5.2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $9.8 million to $21.1 million at
September 30, 2000 compared to $11.3 million at December 31, 1999 because cash
provided by operating and financing activities exceeded cash used in investing
activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $3.9 million to $47.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $43.6 million
for the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to a $2.5 million
increase in income before other, net, minority interests and depreciation and
amortization and a $2.8 million change in other assets offset by a $1.4 million
change in accounts payable and other liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $11.6 million to $56.4
million from $68.0 million primarily due to a $8.8 million decrease in
investments in notes receivable, net and a $7.8 million decrease in investment
in rental properties, offset by a $4.8 million reduction of proceeds related to
asset sales.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $12.0 million to $18.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $30.7 million
for the same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily because of a $59.0
million reduction in borrowings on the line of credit, a $51.6 million reduction
in proceeds from common stock and Operating Partnership units and a $1.3 million
increase in distributions offset by proceeds of $100 million received from the
August 2000 issuance of senior notes which bear interest at 8.2% and mature
August 15, 2008..
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 may also meet these short-term and
long-term requirements by utilizing its $125 million line of credit which bears
interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and is due January 1, 2003. See "Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
The terms of $35.8 million of Convertible Preferred Operating Partnership Units
were renegotiated in the first quarter of 2000. The conversion price increased
from $27 to $36 and the coupon raised from 7% to 9% with equal serialized
maturities in January 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007.
At September 30, 2000, the Company's debt to total market capitalization ratio
approximated 37.2% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units
into shares of common stock). The debt has a weighted average maturity of
approximately 6.3 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.35%.
Recurring capital expenditures approximated $3.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 and FFO per share for both basic and diluted purposes for the
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

Year 2000 Update
In February 2000, the Company officially concluded its Year 2000 compliance
program as no events had occurred that significantly affected either the
Company's operation or its financial statements.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the
Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe
harbors created thereby. The words "may", "will", "expect", "believe",
"anticipate", "should", "estimate", and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance,
but are based upon current assumptions regarding the Company's operations,
future results and prospects, and are subject to many uncertainties and factors
relating to the Company's operations and business environment which may cause
the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such
uncertainties and factors include the ability of manufactured home buyers to
obtain financing, the level of repossessions by manufactured home lenders, and
those referenced in the section entitled "Risk Factors" of the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 15, 2000.
Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) changes in the
general economic climate; (ii) increased competition in the geographic areas in
which the Company owns and operates manufactured housing communities; (iii)
changes in government laws and regulations affecting manufactured housing
communities; (iv) the ability of manufactured home buyers to obtain financing;
(v) the level of repossessions by manufactured home lenders; and (vi) the
ability of the Company to continue to identify, negotiate and acquire
manufactured housing communities and/or vacant land which may be developed into
manufactured housing communities on terms favorable to the Company. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
101"). This statement represents guidance and interpretations of basic
principles of revenue recognition in existing generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). As amended, SAB 101 should be implemented no later than
fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company is
in the process of evaluating the effect of SAB 101 but does not expect a
financial impact.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued
In June 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. This statement will be effective
January 1, 2001. There is no effect from the application of SFAS 133 on the
earnings and financial position of the Company as the Company had no derivative
instruments at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.
