UMH PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES


UMH Properties, Inc. (the Company or we) owns and operates thirty-eight manufactured home communities containing approximately 8,744 sites.  In October 2011, we acquired Clinton Mobile Home Resort, a 116-site community in Tiffin, Ohio (See Note 10).  With this acquisition, we now own thirty-nine communities consisting of approximately 8,860 sites.  These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.  The Company, through its wholly-owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F), conducts manufactured home sales in its communities. This company was established to enhance the occupancy of the communities.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company include S&F and all of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and intends to maintain its qualification as a REIT in the future.  As a qualified REIT, with limited exceptions, the Company will not be taxed under Federal and certain state income tax laws at the corporate level on taxable income that it distributes to its shareholders.  For special tax provisions applicable to REITs, refer to Sections 856-860 of the Code.  The Company is subject to franchise taxes in some of the states in which the Company owns property.


The interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) applicable to interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.


Use of Estimates


In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and revenue and expenses for the periods then ended.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.




8






Stock Based Compensation


The Company accounts for awards of stock options and restricted stock in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation.  ASC 718-10 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period).  The compensation cost for stock option grants is determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date less estimated forfeitures.  The compensation expense for restricted stock is recognized based on the fair value of the restricted stock awards less estimated forfeitures.  The fair value of restricted stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Compensation costs of $100,870 and $199,020 have been recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and, $34,713 and $49,933 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.


The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1.01 and $0.60.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, one employee exercised her stock options to purchase 10,000 shares for a total of $75,600.  As of September 30, 2011, there were options outstanding to purchase 750,000 shares and 632,188 shares were available for grant under the Company’s 2003 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan, as amended.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, options to six employees to purchase a total of 38,000 shares expired.  As of September 30, 2010, there were options outstanding to purchase 731,000 shares and 735,188 shares were available for grant under the Company’s 2003 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan, as amended.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires new disclosures and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires a reporting entity to disclose significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, to describe the reasons for the transfers and to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements for fair value measurements using

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010; early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which amends ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” which will require significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of an entity’s financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables by disclosing an evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The new and amended disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The new and amended disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  


In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.  ASU 2010-29 addresses the diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of ASU 2010-29 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The pronouncement was issued to provide a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  ASU 2011-05 allows an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


NOTE 2 – NET INCOME PER SHARE AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME


Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method.  


Options in the amount of 56,143 shares for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  Options in the amount of 65,381 and 54,740 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively are included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, options to purchase 547,000 and 518,000 shares, respectively, were antidilutive.  


The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

following the closing of any transaction referred to above, neither the Company nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or ADRs representing such securities) listed on the NYSE, the NYSE Amex or NASDAQ, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, NYSE Amex or NASDAQ.

The Company is required to disclose certain information about fair values of financial instruments, as defined in ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments.  Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time, based upon, where available, relevant market prices and information about the financial instrument.  Such estimates do not include any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. All of the Company’s securities available for sale have quoted market prices.  However, for a portion of the Company's other financial instruments, no quoted market value exists.  Therefore, estimates of fair value are necessarily based on a number of significant assumptions (many of which



16






involve events outside the control of management).  Such assumptions include assessments of current economic conditions, perceived risks associated with these financial instruments and their counterparties, future expected loss experience and other factors.  Given the uncertainties surrounding these assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only and, therefore, cannot be compared to the historical accounting model.  Use of different assumptions or methodologies is likely to result in significantly different fair value estimates.


The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and notes receivables approximates their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature.  The fair value of securities available for sale is primarily based upon quoted market values. The fair value of variable rate mortgages payable and loans payable approximate their current carrying amounts since such amounts payable are at approximately a weighted-average current market rate of interest.   As of September 30, 2011, the fair and carrying value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $72,806,064 and $71,301,760, respectively.  The fair value of mortgages payable is based upon discounted cash flows at current market rates for instruments with similar remaining terms.


NOTE 8 -  CONTINGENCIES


The Company is subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business.  Management does not believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated balance sheet or results of operations.


The Properties are covered against losses caused by various events including fire, flood, property damage, earthquake, windstorm and business interruption by insurance policies containing various deductible requirements and coverage limits.  Recoverable costs are classified in other assets as incurred.  Insurance proceeds are applied against the asset when received.


In May 2011, Memphis Mobile City, a 157-site community in Memphis TN, experienced heavy flooding.  All residents of the community were evacuated. While, at this time, we anticipate re-opening Memphis Mobile City, we have not yet reached any final decision as to the future of this community.  The net amount, including inventory and rental homes and after depreciation, at which Memphis Mobile City was carried on our books at September 30, 2011 was approximately $2 million.  The Company has made claims for full recovery of any loss arising from the flood, subject to deductibles.


In 2010, a rainstorm bringing 13 inches of rain in a two-hour period caused flooding at Memphis Mobile City. All homes owned by us were fully restored as were the homes of all residents who elected to make repairs. On May 9, 2011, we were notified that a lawsuit had been filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee on behalf of a purported class of all individuals of Mexican national origin who are current or former residents of Memphis Mobile City. The complaint alleges various claims based on federal and state discrimination and consumer protection laws, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The complaint was served on August 29, 2011.  We believe the action to be without merit and plan to defend it vigorously.  Our insurance company is supporting our defense of this action.

NOTE 9 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION


Cash paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 for interest was $3,574,344 and $3,634,089, respectively.  Interest cost capitalized to Land Development was $219,276 and $235,280 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had dividend reinvestments of $1,232,921 and $971,224, respectively, which required no cash transfers.


NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Material subsequent events have been evaluated and are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.


On October 28, 2011, the Company acquired one manufactured home community from an unrelated entity, for a purchase price of $3,450,000.  This 55 and older community, located in Tiffin, Ohio, has a total of 116 sites situated on 24 acres.  This community is 98% occupied.  The Company used proceeds from the preferred stock offering (See Note 6) to finance this acquisition.

ITEM 2 - 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 included elsewhere herein and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.


The Company is a self-administered, self-managed, real estate investment trust (REIT) with headquarters in Freehold, New Jersey.  The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities – leasing manufactured home spaces on a month-to-month basis to private manufactured home owners.  The Company also leases homes to residents and, through its taxable REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F), sells and finances homes to residents and prospective residents of our communities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we have purchased three manufactured home communities located in Tennessee for a total purchase price of $13,300,000.  In October 2011, we acquired Clinton Mobile Home Resort, a 116-site community in Tiffin, Ohio.  With this acquisition, we now own thirty-nine communities consisting of approximately 8,860 sites.  These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.  The Company also invests in debt and equity securities of other REITs.


The Company’s income primarily consists of rental and related income from the operation of its manufactured home communities.  Income also includes sales of manufactured homes.  Total income rose 14% and 15% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to the new acquisitions in 2010 and 2011.  Sales of manufactured homes have stabilized but continue to be disappointing due to weaknesses in the overall economy.  Our customers still face difficulties in selling their existing homes. This coupled with continued high unemployment rates, has negatively impacted our sales and our gross profit percentage. 


Economic growth in the US economy has moderated and high unemployment rates have persisted.  However, activity in our communities has recently increased as conventional home ownership rates continue to fall.  We are seeing increased demand for rental units and have added approximately 140 rental units, including those purchased with the recent acquisitions, to selected communities.  

 

The Company also holds a portfolio of securities of other REITs with a fair value of $38,845,432 at September 30, 2011.  The Company invests in these securities on margin from time to time when the Company can achieve an adequate yield spread.  The REIT securities portfolio provides the Company with liquidity and additional income and serves as a proxy for real property investments.  At September 30, 2011, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 74% common stocks and 26% preferred stocks.  The Company’s weighted-average yield on the securities portfolio was approximately 7.8% at September 30, 2011.



19






The Company realized a net gain of $2,027,943 and $2,294,542 on securities transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had an unrealized loss of $898,115 in its REIT securities portfolio.   The dividends received from our securities investments continue to meet our expectations.  It is our intent to hold these securities long-term.


Total expenses increased by approximately 19% for both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This was primarily due to the new acquisitions in 2010 and 2011.


Net income decreased from $1,197,304 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $792,877 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Net income decreased from $4,554,940 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $3,153,717 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Funds from operations (see page 24) decreased from $2,372,268 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $1,680,178 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Funds from operations decreased from $7,812,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $6,529,361 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Income from community operations increased from $3,133,399 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $3,833,061 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Income from community operations increased from $9,524,269 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $11,211,356 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  


In spite of challenges in the broad economy, the Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet.  On May 26, 2011, we issued 1,338,800 shares of 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $31,861,173, after underwriting discounts of $1,054,305 and other expenses, including legal and other professional fees, of $554,522.  With these proceeds, we have purchased three Tennessee communities, paid down certain loans and mortgages and in October 2011, purchased the Ohio community.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we have closed on a $9,520,000 mortgage loan, and have extended our $5,000,000 unsecured line of credit through August 31, 2012.  We have modified and extended our $10,000,000 revolving line of credit through June 30, 2014.  


As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $39 million in securities encumbered by $13 million in margin loans, $5 million available on its unsecured line of credit and $5.4 million available on its revolving line of credit.  The Company also has facilities totaling $5 million to finance inventory purchases, of which $1.5 million was utilized.  


The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments.  In 2010, we added seven manufactured home communities, encompassing over 1,200 sites, to our portfolio.  As of September 30, 2011, we have added three additional communities, encompassing almost 700 sites.  In October 2011, we added an additional 116-site community.  We are well positioned for future growth and will continue to seek opportunistic investments.  However, there is no


20






guarantee that any new opportunities will materialize or that the Company will be able to take advantage of such opportunities.


The Company believes that funds generated from operations and the DRIP, the funds available on the line of credit, together with the ability to finance and refinance its properties will provide sufficient funds to adequately meet its obligations over the next year.


See PART I, Item 1 – Business in the Company’s 2010 annual report on Form 10-K for a more complete discussion of the economic and industry-wide factors relevant to the Company and the opportunities and challenges, and risks on which the Company is focused.  


Changes In Results Of Operations


Rental and related income increased 20% from $7,087,977 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $8,482,122 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Rental and related income increased 19% from $20,563,458 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $24,460,311 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This was primarily due to the acquisition of seven communities during 2010 and three communities at the end of the second quarter of 2011.  This was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy in one of our communities in Memphis, TN due to a severe rainstorm that swept the region in May 2010, and severe flooding in May 2011.  All residents of the community were evacuated in 2011.  At this time, we anticipate re-opening Memphis Mobile City.  Without the effect of this community, occupancy remained relatively stable at approximately 77%.  The Company has faced many challenges in filling vacant homesites due to the current economic environment.  


Sales of manufactured homes amounted to $1,182,455 and $1,382,362 for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of 14%.  Sales of manufactured homes amounted to $3,826,400 and $3,930,793 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of 3%.  Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $1,061,969 and $1,280,009 for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $3,519,974 and $3,711,988 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Selling expenses amounted to $638,649 and $413,906 for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Selling expenses amounted to $1,514,416 and $1,210,136 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Loss from the sales operations (defined as sales of manufactured homes less cost of sales of manufactured homes less selling expenses) amounted to $518,163, or 44% of total sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $311,553, or 23% of total sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Loss from sales operations amounted to $1,207,990, or 32% of total sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $991,331, or 25% of total sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company believes that sales of new homes produces new rental revenue and is an investment in the upgrading of the communities.


Community operating expenses increased 18% from $3,954,578 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $4,649,061 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Community operating expenses increased 20% from $11,039,189 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $13,248,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This was primarily due to



21






the acquisitions during 2010 and 2011, and an increase in personnel and related costs, and repairs and maintenance. General and administrative expenses increased 42% from $800,086 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $1,132,796 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  General and administrative expenses increased 30% from $2,410,378 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $3,124,761 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs.  Acquisition costs relating to transaction and due diligence costs associated with the acquisitions of the communities in 2010 and 2011 amounted to $25,813 and $-0- for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $161,439 and $160,058 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  These costs would have previously been capitalized.  Depreciation expense increased 35% from $1,168,920 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $1,580,906 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Depreciation expense increased 34% from $3,257,794 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $4,371,441 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This was primarily due to the acquisitions during 2010 and 2011.  Amortization expense increased 39% from $57,369 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $79,628 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Amortization expense increased 45% from $165,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $240,194 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This was primarily due to the new mortgages in 2010 and 2011.


Interest and dividend income decreased 2% from $1,165,860 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $1,145,694 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Interest and dividend decreased 7% from $3,486,532 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $3,233,502 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of notes receivables.

  

Gain on securities transactions, net amounted to $486,087 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $610,458 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and $2,027,943 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $2,294,542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had an unrealized loss of $898,115 in its REIT securities portfolio.  The dividends received from our securities investments continue to meet our expectations.  It is our intent to hold these securities long-term.


Interest expense remained relatively stable for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Interest expense increased 13% from $3,809,877 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $4,304,507 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.   This was primarily due to an increase in mortgages payable due to the new mortgages for the 2010 acquisitions.


Changes in Financial Condition


Total investment property and equipment increased 10% or $18,027,517 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the three manufactured home communities in Tennessee for a total purchase price of approximately $13,300,000.  The Company also added approximately 140 rental units, including those purchased with the recent acquisitions, to selected communities.  




22






Securities available for sale increased 35% or $10,087,955 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was due primarily to purchases of $19,183,660, partially offset by the sales of securities with a cost of $1,747,209 and a decrease in unrealized gain of $7,348,496.

 

Inventory of manufactured homes remained relatively stable.  Because conventional home ownership rates continue to decline, the Company is optimistic about future sales and rental prospects.


Mortgages payable decreased 1% or $516,329 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was due to principal repayments of $10,036,329, including the repayment of two mortgages with a balance of approximately $8.4 million. This decrease was offset by a new mortgage of $9,520,000.


Loans payable decreased 12% or $2,721,062 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This decrease was primarily due to proceeds from the new mortgage and, in part, proceeds from the preferred stock offering, being used to pay down the loans and the lines of credit.


On May 26, 2011, the Company issued 1,338,800 shares of 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $31,861,173, after underwriting discounts of $1,054,305 and other expenses, including legal and other professional fees, of $554,522.  With these proceeds, we have purchased three Tennessee communities, paid down certain loans and mortgages, and in October 2011, purchased an Ohio community.  The Company intends to make additional acquisitions when opportunities arise. On September 15, 2011, the Company paid $736,341 in preferred dividends or $.55 per share to preferred shareholders of record as of August 15, 2011.  Series A preferred share dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly at an annual rate of $2.0625 per share. On October 4, 2011 the Company declared a preferred dividend of $.515625 per share to be paid on December 15, 2011 to preferred shareholders of record, November 15, 2011.


The Company raised $10,244,642 from the issuance of shares in the DRIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which included dividend reinvestments of $1,232,921.  Dividends paid on the common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $7,771,780 of which $1,232,921 was reinvested.    On October 4, 2011, the Company declared a common stock dividend of $0.18 per common share to be paid December 15, 2011 to common shareholders of record as of November 15, 2011.


The Company uses a variety of sources to fund its cash needs in addition to cash generated through operations. The Company may sell marketable securities, borrow on its line of credit, refinance debt, or raise capital through the DRIP or capital markets.  


Liquidity And Capital Resources


The Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the Company’s stockholders, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service, purchases of manufactured home inventory, investment in debt and equity securities of other REITs and payments of expenses



23






relating to real estate operations.  The Company’s ability to generate cash adequate to meet these demands is dependent primarily on income from its real estate investments and securities portfolio, the sale of real estate investments and securities, refinancing of mortgage debt, leveraging of real estate investments, availability of bank borrowings, proceeds from the DRIP, and access to the capital markets.  


Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $5,575,472 and $2,584,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $7 million in cash, $39 million in securities encumbered by $13 million in margin loans, $5 million available on its unsecured line of credit, $5.4 million available on its revolving line of credit, and facilities totaling $5 million to finance inventory purchases, of which $1.5 million was utilized.  The Company also owns 38 properties, of which 18 are unencumbered.  These marketable securities, non-mortgaged properties, and lines of credit provide the Company with additional liquidity.   The Company has been raising capital by accessing the capital markets and through its DRIP.  The Company believes that funds generated from operations, the capital markets, the DRIP, the funds available on the lines of credit, together with the ability to finance and refinance its properties, will provide sufficient funds to adequately meet its obligations over the next several years.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.


Funds From Operations


Funds from Operations (FFO) is defined as net income excluding preferred dividends and gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable assets, plus depreciation.  FFO should be considered as a supplemental measure of operating performance used by real estate investment trusts (REITs).  FFO excludes historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost basis.  The items excluded from FFO are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance.  FFO (1) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (2) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (3) is not an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.  FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other REITs.
