4.  ACQUISITION AND RELATED FINANCING:

Effective May 1, 1996, the Company acquired the portfolio of Aspen Enterprises,
Ltd. ("Aspen Properties") consisting of 25 communities for $226 million.

On a pro forma, unaudited basis, as if the Aspen Properties acquisition had
occurred as of January 1, 1995, total revenues, income before extraordinary
item, net income, earnings per common OP unit before extraordinary item and net
income per common OP unit for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 would
have been $61.8 million, $16.4 million, $9.5 million, $.97 and $.56,
respectively, and total revenues, net income and net income per common OP unit
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 would have been $54.9 million,
$11.6 million, and $.72, respectively.

The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the
actual results of operations of the Company would have been had such
transactions actually occurred as of January 1, 1995, nor does it purport 
to represent the results of operations of the Company for future periods.

                    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 Notes thereto.  Capitalized terms are used as defined
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

Rental income increased by $17.8 million from $31.4 million to $49.2 million or
56.7 percent, due to acquisitions ($15.4 million), lease up of sites ($1.0
million) and increases in rents and other community revenues ($1.4 million).

Other income increased by $.7 million from $1.6 million to $2.3 million or 48.3
percent due primarily to increased interest income.

Property operating and maintenance increased by $3.9 million from $7.3 million
to $ 11.2 million or 53.5 percent, due primarily to acquisitions ($3.4
million).

Real estate taxes increased by $1.8 million from $2.2 million to $4.0 million
or 84.2 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($1.6 million).

General and administrative expenses increased by $.5 million from $1.9 million
to $2.4 million or 28.1 percent due primarily to increased staffing to manage
the growth of the company.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage
of rental income declined from 6.0 percent to 4.9 percent as a result of
economies of scale resulting from the company's growth.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
increased by $12.3 million from $21.6 million to $33.9 million or 56.8 percent.
EBITDA increased as a percentage of revenues from 65.6 percent to 65.8 percent.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $3.6 million from $6.9 million to
$10.5 million or 52.4 percent due primarily to acquisitions.

Interest expense increased by $3.5 million from $4.4 million to $7.9 million or
81.5 percent due to increased debt outstanding.

The extraordinary item results from the early extinguishment of debt and
includes prepayment penalties and related deferred financing costs.

Rental income increased by $8.4 million from $11.5 million to $19.9 million or

economies of scale resulting from the company's growth.

</TABLE>

On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $2.4 million from
$29.0 million to $31.4 million, or 8.4 percent, due primarily to increases in
rents and occupancy related charges including water and property tax pass
throughs.  Also contributing to revenue growth was the increase of 365 leased
sites at September 30, 1996 compared to September 30, 1995.  

Property operating expenses increased by $.6 million from $8.9 million to $9.5
million, or 6.8 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs and increases in
assessments and millage by local taxing authorities.  Property EBITDA increased
by $1.8 million from $20.1 million to $21.9 million, or 9.1 percent.  

Sites available for development in the total portfolio increased by 1,262 from
2,199 to 3,461 with 643 of those sites in development in our markets in
Michigan, Indiana, Texas, and Missouri.

                                    ________


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $9.6 million to $9.7 million at
September 30, 1996 compared to $.1 million at December 31, 1995 primarily
because cash provided by operating and financing activities exceeded cash used
in investing activities.  

Net cash provided by operating activities was $27.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $16.3 million for the same period in
1995.  This increase was due primarily to increases in accounts payable and
other liabilities.  

Net cash used in investing activities was $199.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to $39.8 million for the same period in 1995. 
This was primarily due to the acquisition of the 25 communities comprising the
Aspen portfolio in 1996.  

Net cash provided by financing activities was $180.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to $19.7 million for the same period in 1995.
The change was primarily due to increased net borrowings and proceeds from the
capital contributions in 1996.  

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its working capital provided by operating activities and additional
capital contributions.  The Company considers these sources to be adequate and
anticipates they will continue to be adequate to meet operating requirements,
capital improvements, investment in expansions, and payment of distributions by
the Company in both the short and long term.  

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.  The Company can also meet these requirements by
utilizing its $75 million line of credit which bears interest at LIBOR plus
1.50% and is due November 1, 1999.  

At September 30, 1996, the Company's debt to total market capitalization
approximated 26% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units to
shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis), with a weighted average maturity
of approximately 4.9 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.4%.

Recurring capital expenditures approximated $1.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.

                                  EXHIBIT 12.1

               COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
    AND RATIO OF EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED DIVIDENDS

    The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the Company (including its
predecessor-in-interest, Sundance Enterprises, Inc., the partnerships
affiliated with Sundance Enterprises, Inc., and the Company's subsidiaries and
majority-owned partnerships) presents the relationship of the Company's
earnings to its fixed charges.  "Earnings" as used in the computation, is based
on net income (loss) from continuing operations (which includes a charge to
income for depreciation and amortization expense) before income taxes, plus
fixed charges.  "Fixed charges" is comprised of (i) interest charges, whether
expensed or capitalized, and (ii) amortization of loan costs and discounts or
premiums relating to indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and
majority-owned partnerships, excluding in all cases items which would be or are
eliminated in consolidation.
