Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (“ELS”), a Maryland corporation, together with MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its other consolidated subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”(the “Subsidiaries”), are referred to herein as “we,” “us,” and “our.” Capitalized terms used“our”. We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) communities. We provide our customers the opportunity to place manufactured homes, cottages or RVs on our Properties either on a long-term or short-term basis. Our customers may lease individual developed areas (“Sites”) or enter into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays.
Our Properties are owned primarily by the Operating Partnership and managed internally by affiliates of the Operating Partnership. ELS is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has exclusive responsibility and discretion in management and control of the Operating Partnership and held a 95.3% interest as of June 30, 2021. As the general partner with control, ELS is the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, the Operating Partnership.
Equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which ELS does not have a controlling interest or for variable interest entities in which ELS is not considered the primary beneficiary, but not defined hereinwith respect to which it can exercise significant influence over operations and major decisions. Our exposure to losses associated with unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily limited to the carrying value of these investments. Accordingly, distributions from a joint venture in excess of our carrying value are as definedrecognized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2016 Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2016. Theseearnings.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statementsinterim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations.regulations for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2016 Form 10-K.year ended December 31, 2020.
The following notesIntercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. All adjustments to the Consolidated Financial Statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the 2016 Form 10-Kinterim consolidated financial statements are of a normal, recurring nature and, present interim disclosures as required by the SEC. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments and estimatesare necessary for a fair presentation of theresults for these interim financial statements, which are of a normal, recurring nature.periods. Revenues and expenses are subject to seasonal fluctuations and accordingly, quarterly interim results may not be indicative of full year results.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Consolidation
(a)    Revenue Recognition
Our revenue streams are predominantly derived from customers renting our Sites or entering into membership subscriptions. Leases with customers renting our Sites are accounted for as operating leases. The rental income associated with these leases is accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, and is recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a customer's stay. MH Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. RV and marina Sites are leased to those who generally have an RV, factory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those customers renting marina dry storage slips. Annual Sites are leased on an annual basis, including those Northern Properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. We consolidatedo not separate expenses reimbursed by our majority-owned Subsidiaries in whichcustomers (“utility recoveries”) from the associated rental income as we havemeet the abilitypractical expedient criteria to controlcombine the operationslease and all variable interest entities ("VIE") with respect to which we are the primary beneficiary.non-lease components. We also consolidate entities in which we have a direct or indirect controlling or voting interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted (“ASU 2015-02”) Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 required us to evaluate whether we should consolidate certain legal entities. The adoption of this standard did not result in any changes to our accounting of interests in less than wholly-owned joint ventures; however, the Operating Partnership now meetsassessed the criteria as a VIE. Weand concluded that the Operating Partnership is a VIE because wetiming and pattern of transfer for rental income and the associated utility recoveries are the general partnersame and, controlling owneras our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for and present rental income and utility recoveries as a single component under Rental income in our Consolidated Statements of approximately 93.7%Income and Comprehensive Income. In addition, customers may lease homes that are located in our communities. These leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income derived from customers leasing homes is also accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases and is recognized over the term of the Operating Partnership and the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. Our sole significant asset is our investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership.respective lease. The Company has the power to direct the VIE's activities and the obligation to absorb itsallowance for credit losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are significantrelated to the VIE. Accordingly, wecollectability of lease receivables is presented as a reduction to Rental income. Lease receivables are the primary beneficiary and we will continue to consolidate the Operating Partnership under this new guidance.
We apply the equity method of accounting to entities in which we do not have a direct or indirect controlling interest or for variable interest entities where we are not considered the primary beneficiary, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.
(b)Identified Intangibles and Goodwill
As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the gross carrying amount of identified intangible assets and goodwill, a component of escrow deposits, goodwill and otherpresented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. The estimate for credit losses is a result of our consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $12.1 million. Asongoing assessments and evaluations of both September 30, 2017collectability including historical loss experience, current market conditions and December 31, 2016, this amount was comprised of approximately $4.3 million of identified intangible assets and approximately $7.8 million of goodwill. Accumulated amortization of identified intangible assets was approximately $2.9 million and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.future expectations in forecasting credit losses.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the gross carrying amount of in-place lease intangible assets, a component of buildings and other depreciable property on our consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $76.7 million and $76.3 million, respectively. Accumulated amortization of in-place lease intangible assets was approximately $76.4 million and $74.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
(c)Restricted Cash
Cash as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 included approximately $5.3 million of restricted cash for the payment of capital improvements, insurance or real estate taxes.

(d)Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include notesAnnual membership subscriptions and membership upgrade sales are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Membership subscriptions provide our customers access to specific Properties for limited stays at a specified group of Properties. Payments are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the one-year period during which access to Sites at certain Properties is provided. Membership subscription receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. Membership upgrades grant certain additional access rights to the customer and require non-refundable upfront payments. The non-refundable upfront payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. Financed upgrade sales (also known as contract receivables) are presented within Notes receivable, accountsnet on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses.
Income from home sales is recognized when the earnings process is complete. The earnings process is complete when the home has been delivered, the purchaser has accepted the home and title has transferred. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to homebuyers at our Properties. Financed home sales (also known as chattel loans) are presented within Notes receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, interest rate swapsnet on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and mortgage notes payable. We disclose the estimated fair valueare net of our financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy (Level 1, 2 and 3).an allowance for credit losses.
Our mortgage notes payable and term loan, excluding deferred financing costs(b)    Restricted Cash
As of approximately $18.9 million as of both SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016, had an aggregate carrying value2020, restricted cash consists of approximately $2,200.1$31.2 million and $2,110.2$24.1 million, as of September 30, 2017respectively, primarily related to cash reserved for customer deposits and December 31, 2016, respectively,escrows for insurance and a fair value of approximately $2,225.4 million and $2,081.2 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The fair value was measured using quoted prices and observable inputs from similar liabilities (Level 2). At December 31, 2016, our cash flow hedge of interest rate risk included in accrued expenses and accounts payable was measured using quoted prices and observable inputs from similar assets and liabilities (Level 2). We consider our own credit risk as well as the credit risk of our counterparties when evaluating the fair value of our derivative. The cash flow hedge of interest rate risk expired during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The fair values of our notes receivable approximate their carrying or contract values. We also utilize Level 2 and Level 3 inputs as part of our determination of the purchase price allocation for our acquisitions.real estate taxes.
(e)New Accounting Pronouncements
(c)    Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017,March 2020, the FASB issued ("ASU 2017-01"No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifyingand other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the DefinitionSecured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional, effective immediately, and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur generally through December 31, 2022. We continue to evaluate the impact of a Business. ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of addingthis guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, thatand we do not expect the adoption of this standard mayguidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statementsstatements.


Note 3 – Leases
Lessor
The leases entered into between the customer and us for rental of a Site are renewable upon the consent of both parties or, in some instances, as provided by statute. Long-term leases that are non-cancelable by the tenants are in effect at certain Properties. Rental rate increases at these Properties are primarily a function of increases in the Consumer Price Index, taking into consideration certain conditions. Additionally, periodic market rate adjustments are made as deemed appropriate. In addition, certain state statutes allow entry into long-term agreements that effectively modify lease terms related disclosures.
In August 2016,to rent amounts and increases over the FASB issued (“ASU 2016-15”) Statementterm of Cash Flows (Topic 230). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments arethe agreements. The following table presents future minimum rents expected to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, that adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued (“ASU 2016-13”) Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses,received under long-term non-cancelable tenant leases, as well as the credit qualitythose leases that are subject to long-term agreements governing rent payments and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, that adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.increases:
In February 2016, the FASB issued ("ASU 2016-02") Leases. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ("ASU 2014-09") Revenue from Contracts with Customers which along with related subsequent amendments will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method.

Note 23Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesLeases (continued)

Lessee
We expectlease land under non-cancelable operating leases at 14 Properties expiring at various dates through 2054. The majority of the leases have terms requiring fixed payments plus additional rents based on a percentage of gross revenues at those Properties. We also have other operating leases, primarily office space, expiring at various dates through 2032. For the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total operating lease payments were $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total operating lease payments were $5.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
The following table summarizes our minimum future rental payments, excluding variable costs, which are discounted by our incremental borrowing rate to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 usingcalculate the modified retrospective transition method.

Note 911 – Commitments and Contingencies
Hurricane Irma
Based on our assessmentWe are involved in various legal and available information as of the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we recognized expense of $3.7 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to property damage and restoration work that had been reasonably estimated and/or completed to date at our Florida properties as a result of Hurricane Irma. Based on our evaluation of these costs and our review of the potential insurance claim and our estimate of the related deductible, we recorded a revenue accrual of $3.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, while we expect additional amounts to be identifiedregulatory proceedings (“Proceedings”) arising in the future, we cannot estimate the total expenses or recoveries relatedordinary course of business. The Proceedings include, but are not limited to, Hurricane Irma.
California Rent Control Litigation
As part of our effort to realize the value of our Properties subject to rent control, we previously initiated lawsuits against certain localities in California with the goal of achieving a level of regulatory fairness in California's rent control jurisdictions,legal claims made by employees, vendors and in particular those jurisdictions that prohibit increasing rents to market upon turnover. Such regulations allow tenants to sell their homes for a price that includes a premium above the intrinsic value of the homes. The premium represents the value of the future discounted rent-controlled rents, which is fully capitalized into the prices of the homes sold. In our view, such regulations result in a transfer to the tenants of the value of our land, which would otherwise be reflected in market rents. We have discovered through the litigation process that certain municipalities considered condemning our Properties at values well below the value of the underlying land. In our view, a failure to articulate market rents for Sites governedcustomers, and notices, consent decrees, information requests, additional permit requirements and other similar enforcement actions by restrictive rent control would put us at risk for condemnation or eminent domain proceedings based on artificially reduced rents. Such a physical taking, should it occur, could represent substantial lost value to stockholders. We are cognizant of the need for affordable housing in the jurisdictions, but assert that restrictive rent regulation does not promote this purpose because tenants pay to their sellers as part of the purchase price

of the home all the future rent savings that are expected to result from the rent control regulations, eliminating any supposed improvement in the affordability of housing. In a more well-balanced regulatory environment, we would receive market rents that would eliminate the price premium for homes, which would trade at or near their intrinsic value. Such efforts have included the following matters:
We sued the City of San Rafael on October 13, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, challenging its rent control ordinance on constitutional grounds. While the District Court found the rent control ordinance unconstitutional, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court and ruled that the ordinance had not unconstitutionally taken our property. On September 3, 2013, we filed a petition for review by the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied.
On January 31, 2012, we sued the City of Santee in the United States District for the Southern District of California challenging its rent control ordinance on constitutional grounds. On September 26, 2013, we entered a settlement agreement with the City pursuant to which we are able to increase Site rents at the Meadowbrook community through January 1, 2034 as follows: (a) a one-time 2.5% rent increase on all Sites in January 2014; plus (b) annual rent increases of 100% of the consumer price index (CPI) beginning in 2014; and (c) a 10% increase in the rent on a site upon turnover of that site. Absent the settlement, the rent control ordinance limited us to annual rent increases of at most 70% of CPI with no increases on turnover of a site.

Settlement of California Lawsuits
On January 18, 2017, we entered into agreements pursuant to which we agreed to settle three California lawsuits related to our California Hawaiian property in San Jose, our Monte del Lago property in Castroville and our Santiago Estates property in Sylmar. Each of the three plaintiff groups was represented by the same law firm and alleged that the Company failed to properly maintain the respective properties. The settlement agreements provided for $9.9 million to be paid to settle the California Hawaiian matter, $1.5 million to be paid to settle the Monte del Lago matter and $1.9 million to be paid to settle the Santiago Estates matter. As a result, a litigation settlement payable was recorded in Accrued expenses and accounts payable as of December 31, 2016. In addition, an insurance receivable was recorded in escrow deposits, goodwill and other assets, net as of December 31, 2016, resulting in a net settlement of approximately $2.4 million reflected as a component of property rights initiatives and other, net on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the settlements were finalized, the settlement payments were made and the insurance payments were received. These settlements resolved all pending matters brought by plaintiffs’ counsel against us or any of our affiliates. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, all plaintiffs provided full releases to each of the defendants and their affiliates including with respect to the claims alleged in the lawsuits, and each of the lawsuits and related appeals were dismissed with prejudice. The settlements do not constitute an admission of liability by us or any of our affiliates and were made to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation.

Civil Investigation by Certain California District Attorneys
In November 2014, we received a civil investigative subpoena from the office of the District Attorney for Monterey County, California ("MCDA"), seeking information relating to, among other items, statewide compliance with asbestos and hazardous waste regulations dating back to 2005 primarily in connection with demolition and renovation projects performed by third-party contractors at our California Properties. We responded by providing the information required by the subpoena.
On October 20, 2015, we attended a meeting with representatives of the MCDA and certain other District Attorneys' offices at which the MCDA reviewed the preliminary results of their investigation including, among other things, (i) alleged violations of asbestos and related regulations associated with approximately 200 historical demolition and renovation projects in California; (ii) potential exposure to civil penalties and unpaid fees; and (iii) next steps with respect to a negotiated resolution of the alleged violations. No legal proceedings have been instituted to date and we are involved in settlement discussions with the District Attorneys' offices. We continue to assess the allegations and the underlying facts, and at this time we are unable to predict the outcome of the investigation or reasonably estimate any possible loss.
Other
In addition to legal matters discussed above, we are involved in various other legal and regulatory proceedings ("Other Proceedings") arising in the ordinary course of business. The Other Proceedings include, but are not limited to, notices, consent decrees, information requests, and additional permit requirements and other similar enforcement actions by governmental agencies relating to our utility infrastructure, including water and wastewater treatment plants and other waste treatment facilities and electrical systems. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, our operations are subject to audit by various taxing authorities.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies (continued)


Management believes these Other Proceedings taken together do not represent a material liability. In addition, to the extent any such proceedingsProceedings or audits relate to newly acquired Properties, we consider any potential indemnification obligations of sellers in our favor.
The Operating Partnership operates and manages Westwinds, a 720 site mobilehome community, and Nicholson Plaza, an adjacent shopping center, both located in San Jose, California pursuant to ground leases that expire on August 31, 2022 and do not contain extension options. The master lessor of these ground leases, The Nicholson Family Partnership (the “Nicholsons”), has expressed a desire to redevelop Westwinds, and in a written communication, they claimed that we were obligated to deliver the property free and clear of any and all subtenancies upon the expiration of the ground leases on August 31, 2022. In connection with any redevelopment, the City of San Jose’s conversion ordinance requires, among other things, that the landowner provide relocation, rental and purchase assistance to the impacted residents.
We believe the Nicholsons’ demand is unlawful, and on December 30, 2019, the Operating Partnership, together with certain interested parties, filed a complaint in California Superior Court for Santa Clara County, seeking declaratory relief pursuant to which it requested that the Court determine, among other things, that the Operating Partnership has no obligation to deliver the property free and clear of the mobilehome residents upon the expiration of the ground leases. The Operating Partnership and the interested parties filed an amended complaint on January 29, 2020. The Nicholsons filed a demand for arbitration on January 28, 2020, which they subsequently amended, pursuant to which they request (i) a declaration that the Operating Partnership, as the “owner and manager” of Westwinds, is “required by the Ground Leases, and State and local law to deliver the Property free of any encumbrances or third-party claims at the expiration of the lease terms,” (ii) that the Operating Partnership anticipatorily breached the ground leases by publicly repudiating any such obligation and (iii) that the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify the Nicholsons with respect to the claims brought by the interested parties in the Superior Court proceeding.
On February 3, 2020, the Nicholsons filed a motion in California Superior Court to compel arbitration and to stay the Superior Court litigation, which motion was heard on June 25, 2020. On July 29, 2020, the Superior Court issued a final order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. The Nicholsons filed a notice of appeal on August 7, 2020. The arbitration is stayed pursuant to an agreement between MHC and the Nicholsons.
We intend to continue to vigorously defend our interests in this matter. As of June 30, 2021, we have not made an accrual, as we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate any possible loss.

Note 1012 – Reportable Segments

We have identified two2 reportable segments which are:segments: (i) Property Operations and (ii) Home Sales and Rentals Operations. The Property Operations segment owns and operates land lease Properties and the Home Sales and Rentals Operations segment purchases, sells and leases homes at the Properties. The distribution of the Properties throughout the United States reflects our belief that geographic diversification helps insulate the portfolio from regional economic influences.
All revenues arewere from external customers and there is no customer who contributed 10% or more of our total revenues during the quarters and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 or 2016.2020.

Note 11 - Subsequent Events

During October 2017, we sold 336,290 shares of common stock as part of the ATM equity offering program at a weighted average price of $85.13, resulting in net cash proceeds of $28.3 million. Our Board of Directors has approved a new ATM equity offering program having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million.

On October 16, 2017, we entered into a $204 million secured facility with Fannie Mae, maturing in 2037 and bearing a 3.97% fixed interest rate. The loan is secured by five manufactured home communities. We used the proceeds to pay, in full, $194.2 million of loans that would have matured in 2018. We incurred approximately $2.2 million in prepayment penalties associated with the debt repayment.
On October 27, 2017, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among us, MHC Operating Limited Partnership, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and other lenders named therein, which amends and restates the terms of the obligations owed by us under the Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of July 17, 2014 pursuant to which we have access to a $400 million unsecured line of credit (the “LOC”) and the $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). The LOC maturity date was extended to October 27, 2021, and this term can be extended an additional year in two six month increments, subject to certain conditions. The LOC bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.10% to 1.55% and requires an annual facility fee of 0.15% to 0.35%. 
We also extended the term of our Term Loan. The Term Loan now matures on April 27, 2023 and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.20% to 1.90% per annum. For both the LOC and Term Loan, the spread over LIBOR is variable based on leverage throughout the respective loan terms. We incurred commitment and arrangement fees of approximately $3.6 million to enter into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.




Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements and related Notesaccompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and with2020 (“2020 Form 10-K”), as well as information in the information under the heading "Management's“Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"Operations” in our Annual Report on2020 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.10-K.
Overview and Outlook
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. We are a fully integrated owner and operator of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily ofwithin manufactured home ("MH"(“MH”) communities and recreational vehicle ("RV"(“RV”) resorts and campgrounds.communities. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we owned or had an ownership interest in a portfolio of 404435 Properties located throughout the United States and Canada containing 149,448 Sites.166,188 individual developed areas (“Sites”). These propertiesProperties are located in 3233 states and British Columbia, with more than 90110 Properties with lake, river or ocean frontage and more than 100120 Properties within 10 miles of the coastal United States.

We invest in properties in sought-after locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States with a focus on delivering value to our residents and guests as well as stockholders. Our business model is intended to provide an opportunity for increased cash flows and appreciation in value. We seek growth in earnings, Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Normalized Funds from Operations (“Normalized FFO”) and cash flows by enhancing the profitability and operation of our Properties and investments. We accomplish this by attracting and retaining high quality customers to our Properties, who take pride in our Properties and in their homes, and efficiently managing our Properties by increasing occupancy, maintaining competitive market rents and controlling expenses. We also actively pursue opportunities that fit our acquisition criteria and are currently engaged in various stages of negotiations relating to the possible acquisition of additional properties.
We believe the demand from baby boomers for MH and RV communities will continue to be strong over the long term. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 daily through 2030. In addition, the population age 55 and older is expected to grow 17% from 2021 to 2036. These individuals, seeking an active lifestyle, will continue to drive the market for second home sales as vacation properties, investment opportunities or retirement retreats. We expect it is likely that over the next decade, we will continue to see high levels of second-home sales and that manufactured homes and cottages in our Properties will continue to provide a viable second-home alternative to site-built homes. We also believe the Millennial and Generation X demographic will contribute to our future long-term customer pipeline. RV Industry Association (“RVIA”) tracking of the RV industry as of 2021 showed that those under 45 years of age is the fastest growing segment of RV owners and has been for the past few years. The RVIA also completed a survey showing that RV purchase intent is strongest among Millennials, followed closely by Generation X. Millennials and Generation X combined represent over half of RV buyers. RVIA statistics as of 2021 show that over 11 million U.S. households own an RV, an increase of 62% over the past 20 years. The increase is driven by strong interest from younger individuals and families who live an active, outdoor lifestyle and baby boomers who are entering retirement. These groups exhibit interest in adopting a minimalist lifestyle due to its affordability, preference over home quality relative to its size and the overall unique experience that our communities can provide. We believe the demand from baby boomers and these younger generations will continue to outpace supply for MH and RV communities. The entitlement process to develop new MH and RV communities is extremely restrictive. As a result, there have been limited new communities developed in our target geographic markets.
We generate the majority of our revenues from customers renting our Sites or entering into right-to-use contracts, (also referred toalso known as membership products)subscriptions, which provide our customersthem access to specific Properties for limited stays. Our MH community Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. RV and annualmarina Sites are leased to those who generally have an RV, resortfactory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those customers renting marina dry storage slips. Annual Sites are leased on an annual basis.basis, including those Northern Properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. The revenue from seasonal and transient Sites is generally higher during the first and third quarters. We consider the transient revenue stream to be our most volatile as it is subject to weather conditions and other factors affecting the marginal RV customer's vacation and travel preferences. Sites designated as right-to-use Sites are primarily utilized to service the approximately 106,900 customers who have entered into right-to-use contracts (otherwise referred to as "memberships") and who pay annual membership dues.

We alsoAdditionally, we have interests in joint venture Properties for which revenue is classified as Equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures inon the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. During the quarter, we contributed approximately $30.0 million to acquire a 49% interest in Florida Atlantic Holding, LLC ("Loggerhead"). Loggerhead owns a portfolio of 11 marinas located in Florida.

In our Home Sales and RentalRentals Operations business, our revenue streams include home sales, home rentals and brokerage services and ancillary activities. We generate revenue through home sales and rental operations by selling or leasing Site Setmanufactured homes and cottages that are located in Properties owned and managed by us. We continue to focus on our rental operations, as we believe renting our vacant new homes may representrepresents an attractive source of occupancy and thean opportunity to convert the renter to a new homebuyer in the future. We also sell and rent homes through our joint venture, ECHO Financing, LLC (the "ECHO JV"“ECHO JV”). We provideAdditionally, home sale brokerage services are offered to our residents of our Properties who movemay choose to sell their homes rather than relocate them when moving from a Property but do not relocate their home. In addition,Property. At certain Properties, we operate ancillary activities at certain Properties,facilities, such as golf courses, pro shops, storesretail operations and restaurants.
In the manufactured housing industry, options for home financing, also known as chattel financing, options are limited. FinancingChattel financing options available today include community owner fundedowner-funded programs or third partythird-party lender programs that provide subsidized financing to customers and often require the community owner to guarantee customer defaults. Third partyThird-party lender programs have stringent underwriting criteria, sizable down payment requirements, short loan amortization and relatively high interest rates. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to purchasers of homeshomebuyers at our Properties.

Management's Discussion (continued)

We invest in Properties in sought-after locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States with a focus on increasing operating cash flows. We seek growth in earnings, funds from operations ("FFO") and cash flows by enhancing the profitability and operation of our Properties and investments. We seek to accomplish this by attracting high quality customers to our Properties and retaining these customers who take pride in the Property and in their homes and efficiently managing our Properties to increase operating margins by increasing occupancy, maintaining competitive market rents and controlling expenses.
We actively seek to acquire and are currently engaged in various stages of negotiations relating to the possible acquisition of additional properties, which may include contracts outstanding to acquire such properties that are subject to the satisfactory completion of our due diligence review.
In addition to Netnet income computed in accordance with GAAP,U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we assess and measure our overall financial and operating performance using certain Non-GAAP supplemental measures, which include: (i) FFO, (ii) Normalized funds from operations ("NFFO"),FFO, (iii) Income from property operations, (iv) Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, (v) Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management (operating results for propertiesProperties owned and operated in both periods under comparison), and (vi) Income from rental operations, net of depreciation. We use these measures internally to evaluate the operating performance of our portfolio and provide a basis for comparison with other real estate companies. Definitions and reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included below in this discussion.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we have taken actions to prioritize the safety and security of our employees, residents and customers, while maintaining our high-quality standards in service to our residents and customers. We have implemented and may continue to implement Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and local public health department guidelines and protocols for social distancing and enhanced community and office cleaning procedures. All properties continue to be open subject to seasons of operation and state and local guidelines. Our property offices are open to residents and customers, and we are complying with CDC recommended protocols.
We continue to see strong demand in our RV business as our customers seek safe vacation and leisure activities and value the opportunity to spend time outdoors. During the second quarter of 2021, Core Transient RV rental income increased $14.0 million, or 180% compared to the second quarter of 2020. Transient RV rental income for the second quarter of 2020 was negatively impacted by temporary site closures as a result of COVID-19. As compared to the second quarter of 2019, Transient RV rental income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $7.3 million or 50%. RV and marina rental income in our Core Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 10.7% higher than the six months ended June 30, 2020. Annual and transient rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 5.8% and 83.0%, respectively, while seasonal rental income decreased 21.7%. The decrease in seasonal rental income was primarily due to lower seasonal RV rental income in the South and West regions during the first quarter of 2021, as seasonal customers, in particular Canadian customers, were impacted by travel restrictions resulting from COVID-19.
22

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

We attribute the solid performance of our business, as shown by our cash collection activity, increases in home sales and occupancy, and growth in transient RV rental income, to the fundamentals of our business model. Our customers have made an investment in a housing unit that is placed on land leased from us. In addition, there is continued demand for our Properties. The property locations and the lifestyle we offer have broad appeal to customers interested in enjoying an outdoor experience. We believe this is particularly relevant in a COVID-19 impacted environment. We intend to continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and we may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required and that are in the best interests of our employees, residents, customers and shareholders.

Management's Discussion (continued)

WeWhile we continue to focus on the quality of occupancy growth by increasing the number of manufactured homeowners in our Core Portfolio.Portfolio, we also believe renting our vacant homes represents an attractive source of occupancy and an opportunity to potentially convert the renter to a new homebuyer in the future. We continue to expect there to be fluctuations in the sources of occupancy gains depending on local market conditions, availability of vacant sites and success with converting renters to homeowners. Our Core Portfolio average occupancy, consists of occupied home sitesincluding both homeowners and renters, in our MH communities (both homeowners and renters) and was 94.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to 94.2%95.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and 93.5%2021, compared to 95.3% for the quarter ended SeptemberMarch 31, 2021 and 95.2% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in average occupancy from the prior quarter is due to expansion sites completed and added to our Core Portfolio during the quarter but not yet occupied as of June 30, 2016. During2021. For the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we increased occupancy of manufactured homes within2021, our Core Portfolio occupancy increased by 9568 sites with an increase in homeowner occupancy of 267179 sites, compared to occupancy as of March 31, 2021. By comparison, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. By comparison, as of September 30, 2016,2020, our Core Portfolio occupancy increased 17690 sites with an increase in homeowner occupancy of 248 sites80 sites. In addition to higher occupancy, we have increased rental rates during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, contributing to a growth of 4.1% for each respective period in MH rental income, compared to occupancy at June 30, 2016.the same period in 2020.
We continue to experience growth in revenues in our Core RV Portfolio as a result of our ability to increaseand marina rental rates and occupancy. RV revenuesincome in our Core Portfolio for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 were 5.8%2021 was 32.0% higher than the quarter ended September 30, 2016.same period in 2020.

Annual rental income increased primarily due to rate growth, including in the Core marina portfolio. Core annual marina revenue represents 99% of Core marina base rental income. Seasonal rental income increased due to increases in all regions, primarily due to cancellations in RV reservations and site closures during the second quarter of 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 10.7% higher than the same period in 2020. Annual and transient rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 5.8% and 83.0%, respectively, while seasonal rental income decreased 21.7%. The decrease in seasonal rental income was primarily due to lower seasonal RV rental income in the South and West regions during the first quarter of 2021, as seasonal customers, in particular Canadian customers, were impacted by travel restrictions resulting from COVID-19.
We continue to experience strong performance in our membership base within our Thousand Trails portfolio. For the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2021, annual membership subscriptions revenue increased 10.1% over the same period in 2020. We sold approximately 8,200 TTC memberships during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, representing a 41% increase in sales volume compared to the same period in 2020. We also activated approximately 7,800 TTC memberships through our RV dealer program for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Membership upgrade sales, gross increased $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, driven by approximately 1,200 membership upgrade sales during the quarter. We also experienced a 22% increase in the average sales price per upgrade sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period June 30, 2020. The increase in upgrade sales and average sales price was driven by an increase in customer demand, including a new upgrade product, Adventure, introduced in the first quarter of 2021. Adventure was introduced in response to demand we were seeing from our current customers who were looking for longer stays and advanced booking windows. We periodically introduce new upgrade products. Based on our historical experience, during the first 60 to 90 days following a new product launch, we experience an increase in upgrade sales and thereafter the upgrade sales fall back in line with historical run rate performance. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we sold approximately 13,500 TTC memberships and approximately 2,600 membership upgrades, an increase in membership subscriptions and upgrade revenues of 7.2% and 94.3%, respectively, over the same period in 2020.
Demand for our homes and communities remains strong as evidenced by factors including our high occupancy levels. We closed 295 new home sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to 133 new home sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. We closed 487 new home sales during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 288 new home sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in new home sales was primarily due to favorable housing trends in the broader real estate market.
As of June 30, 2021, we had 3,794 occupied rental homes in our Core MH communities, including 282 homes rented through our ECHO JV. Our Core Portfolio income from rental operations, net of depreciation, was $8.4 million and $8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Annual, seasonal and transient revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 5.5%, 6.2% and 4.7%, respectively, from the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
We continue to offer the Thousand Trails Camping Pass (“TTC”) and as a customer acquisition tool we have relationships with a network of RV dealers to provide them with a free one-year TTC membership to give to their customers in connection with the purchase of an RV. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017 online TTC sales increased 52% from the quarter ended September 30, 2016. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017 we sold approximately 4,400 TTCs and activated approximately 4,900 RV dealer TTCs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 we sold approximately 11,700 TTCs and activated approximately 14,100 RV dealer TTCs.
We continue to build on our successful multi-channel marketing campaigns, incorporating social media and advanced marketing analytics. The demand for our product offerings is high as seen by web traffic, call center traffic, reservations and sales. We have now completed our summer marketing campaign. We focused on the 100 days of camping between Memorial Day and Labor Day and ran a social media promotion, which had a social media reach of 5.1 million as we encouraged customers to post pictures of themselves enjoying our properties. For the same period in 2016, our summer social media campaign reach was 3.7 million.
We see high demand for our homes and communities. We closed 173 new home sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to 207 during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and 413 new home sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 508 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include certain Non-GAAP financial measures that in management's view of the business are meaningful as they allow investors the ability to understand key operating details of our business both with and without regard to certain accounting conventions or items that may not always be indicative of recurring annual cash flows of the portfolio. These Non-GAAP financial measures as determined and presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and include income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and income from rental operations, net of depreciation.
We believe investors should review Income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and Income from rental operations, net of depreciation, along with GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT's operating performance. A discussion of Income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and Income from rental operations, net of depreciation, and a reconciliation to net income, are included below.
Income from Property Operations and Core Portfolio
We use Incomeincome from property operations, and Incomeincome from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, and Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, as alternative measures to evaluate the operating results of our manufactured home and RV communities.Properties. Income from property operations represents rental income, membership subscriptions and upgrade sales, utility income and right-to-useother income less property and rental home operating and maintenance expenses, real estate tax,taxes, sales and marketing expenses and property management expenses. Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, represents income from property operations excluding property management expenses and the impact of the GAAP deferraldeferrals of right-to-use contractmembership upgrade sales upfront payments and relatedmembership sales commissions, net. We present bad debt expense within Property operating, maintenance and real estate taxes in the current and prior periods.
Our Core Portfolio consists of our Properties owned and operated since December 31, 2015.during all of 2020 and 2021. Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, is useful to investors for annual comparison as it removes the fluctuations associated with acquisitions, dispositions and significant transactions or unique situations. Our Non-Core Portfolio (or Acquisitions) includes all Properties that were not owned and operated during 2016all of 2020 and 2017.2021. This includes, but is not limited to, one MH community, seven RV communities and one marina acquired during 2020 and two RV communities and eleven marinas acquired during 2021.

Funds from Operations ("FFO"(FFO”) and Normalized Funds from Operations ("NFFO"(Normalized FFO”)
We define FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and actual or estimated losses from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization impairments, if any,related to real estate, impairment charges and after adjustments forto reflect our share of FFO of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We receive up-front non-refundable upfront payments from the entry of right-to-usemembership upgrade contracts. In accordance with GAAP, the non-refundable upfront non-refundable payments and related commissions are deferred and amortized over the estimated customer life.membership upgrade contract term. Although the NAREIT definition of FFO does not address the treatment of non-refundable right-to-useupfront payments, we believe that it is appropriate to adjust for the impact of the deferral activity in our calculation of FFO.
We define NFFONormalized FFO as FFO excluding the following non-operating income and expense items: a) the financial impact of contingent consideration; b)items, such as gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance costs; c) property acquisitioncosts, and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions; and d) other miscellaneous non-comparable items. NFFONormalized FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to NFFONormalized FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same methodology for computing this amount.
We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments, if any, and actual or estimated gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate all ofand impairment charges, which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management because it allows them to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on

Management's Discussion (continued)

a consistent basis without having to account for differences not related to our normal operations. For example, we believe that excluding the early extinguishment of debt property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitionsmiscellaneous non-comparable items from NFFOFFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods because these costs do not affect the future operations of the properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and NFFONormalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items.
Income from Rental Operations, Net of Depreciation
We use Incomeincome from rental operations, net of depreciation as an alternative measure to evaluate the operating results of our home rental program. Income from rental operations, net of depreciation represents income from rental operations less depreciation expense on rental homes. We believe this measure is meaningful for investors as it provides a complete picture of the home rental program operating results including the impact of depreciation which affects our home rental program investment decisions.
Our definitions and calculations of these non-GAAPNon-GAAP financial and operating measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These non-GAAPNon-GAAP financial and operating measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flowflows from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Right-to-use contracts current period, gross, netsecond quarter of sales and marketing, gross, increased by $0.4 million, primarily2020 as a result of COVID-19. In addition, we continue to see positive Transient demand as our customers seek safe vacation and leisure activities and value the opportunity to spend time outdoors. The increase in Annual rental income is attributable to both rate and occupancy, driven by occupancy gains in the North and Northeast regions.

The income from home sales and other operations was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to a loss of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in income from home sales and other operations was primarily due to an increase in ancillary services revenues, net, due to increased revenue from restaurants, stores and activities across the portfolio that were closed last year as a result of COVID-19 and an increase in non-core marina ancillary revenues, net. Income from home sales and other was $0.2 million for both the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Theoperations also increased due to an increase in gross profit from new home selling expenses wassales due to an increase of 162 new homes sales during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to expense of $0.4 million recorded duringfavorable housing trends in the quarter ended September broader real estate market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary demands for liquidity include payment of operating expenses, dividend distributions, debt service, including principal and interest, capital improvements on properties, purchasing both newProperties, home purchases and pre-owned homes, acquisitions of new Properties, and distributions.property acquisitions. We expect similar demand for liquidity will continue for the short-term and long-term. Our primary sources of cash include operating cash flows, proceeds from financings, borrowings under our unsecured Line of Credit ("LOC"(“LOC”) and proceeds from issuance of equity and debt securities.
We have entered into an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program, pursuant to which we may sell, from time-to-time, shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $125.0 million. During the quarter, we sold 484,913 shares of common stock as part of the ATM equity offering program, at a weighted average price of $86.69, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $41.5 million. As of September 30, 2017, $33.0 million of common stock remained available for issuance under the ATM equity offering program. During October 2017, we sold 336,290 shares of common stock as part of the ATM equity offering program at a weighted average price of $85.13, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $28.3 million. Our Board of Directors has approved a new ATM equity offering program having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million.
In addition, we have available liquidity in the form of authorized and unissued preferred stock of approximately 10.0 million shares and approximately 112.5 million shares of authorized but unissued common stock registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by a shelf registration statement which was automatically effective when filed with the SEC. Our charter allows us to issue up to 200.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and up to 10.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
One of our stated objectives is to maintain financial flexibility. Achieving this objective allows us to take advantage of strategic opportunities that may arise. When investing capital, we consider all potential uses, including returning capital to our stockholders or the conditions under which we may repurchase our stock. These conditions include, but are not limited to, market price, balance sheet flexibility, alternative opportunistic capital uses and capital requirements. We believe effective management of our balance sheet, including maintaining various access points to raise capital, managemanaging future debt maturities and borrowborrowing at competitive rates, enables us to meet this objective. We believe that asAccessing long-term low-cost secured debt continues to be our focus.
Our at-the-market (“ATM”) equity offering program allows us, from time-to-time, to sell shares of Septemberour common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price up to $200.0 million. As of June 30, 2017,2021, the full capacity remained available for issuance.
As of June 30, 2021, we have sufficienthad available liquidity in the form of $72.1approximately 416.2 million shares of authorized and unissued common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10.0 million shares of authorized and unissued preferred stock registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we closed on an amended revolving line of credit with borrowing capacity of $500.0 million and a $300.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The variable interest rate on the Term Loan is LIBOR plus 1.40%. Pursuant to the Swap (as defined below), we have fixed the interest rate at 1.8% per annum. See Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8. Borrowing Arrangements for further details.
We also utilize interest rate swaps to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in available cash, netexchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of restricted cash,the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The changes in the fair value of the designated derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and $400.0 million availablesubsequently reclassified into earnings on our LOC, to satisfy our near term obligations.the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
On October 27, 2017,During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Creditthree-year LIBOR Swap Agreement (the “Second Amended”Swap”) allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our variable rate debt for a fixed interest rate. The Swap has a notional amount of $300.0 million of outstanding principal and Restated Credit Agreement”) byfixes the underlying LIBOR rate at 0.39% per annum and among us, MHC Operating Limited Partnership, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and other lenders named therein, which amends and restates the terms of the obligations owing by us under the Amended, Restated and Consolidated Agreement dated as of July 17, 2014 pursuant to which we have access to a $400 million unsecured line of credit and the $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility. The LOC maturity date was extended to October 27, 2021, and this term can be extended an additional year in two six month increments, subject to certain conditions. The LOC bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.10% to 1.55% and requires an annual facility fee of 0.15% to 0.35%. We also extended the term of our Term Loan, which now matures on April 27, 2023 and has anMarch 25, 2024. For additional information regarding our interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.20% to 1.90% per annum.swap, see Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including principal payments, capital improvements and dividend distributions for the next twelve months, generally through available cash, as well as net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our existing LOC. We consider these resourcesAs of June 30, 2021, our LOC had a borrowing capacity of $438.0 million. As of June 30, 2021, the LOC bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% to be adequate1.65%, carries an annual facility fee of 0.20% to meet our operating requirements for capital improvements, amortizing debt0.35% and payment of dividends and distributions.matures on April 18, 2025.
We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, property acquisitions and capital improvements, by use of our current cash balance,using long-term collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings including borrowings under the existing LOC and the issuance of debt securities or additionalthe issuance of equity securities, in additionincluding under our ATM equity offering program.
We continue to net cash provided by operating activities. Asmonitor the development and adoption of September 30, 2017,an alternative index to LIBOR to manage the transition. Given the majority of our current debt is secured and not subject to LIBOR, we have no remaining scheduled debt maturities in 2017.
Duringdo not believe the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we entered into three new loans, each secured by a manufactured home Property, totaling $146.0 million. The loansdiscontinuation of LIBOR will have a stated interest rate of 4.07% per year with 20 year maturitiessignificant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $167.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net cash used in financing activities was $146.3$41.8 million for the nine monthsquarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $120.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2020. The increase in net cash used inprovided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to (1) a decrease in new mortgage debtan increase net term loan proceeds net, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, (2)of $300.0 million, partially offset by an increase in distributions to our common stockholders fornet repayments on the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due toLOC of $50.0 million and an increase approvedin mortgage debt repayments of $19.0 million.
Contractual Obligations
Significant ongoing contractual obligations consist primarily of long-term borrowings, interest expense, operating leases, LOC maintenance fees and ground leases. For a summary and complete presentation and description of our ongoing commitments and contractual obligations, see the Contractual Obligations section of the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2020 Form 10-K.
Westwinds
The Operating Partnership operates and manages Westwinds, a 720 site mobilehome community, and Nicholson Plaza, an adjacent shopping center, both located in San Jose, California pursuant to ground leases that expire on August 31, 2022 and do not contain extension options. Westwinds provides affordable, rent-controlled homes to numerous residents, including

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

families with children and residents over 65 years of age. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Westwinds and Nicholson Plaza generated approximately $5.8 million of net operating income.
The master lessor of these ground leases, The Nicholson Family Partnership (together with its predecessor in interest, the “Nicholsons”), has expressed a desire to redevelop Westwinds, and in a written communication, they claimed that we were obligated to deliver the property free and clear of any and all subtenancies upon the expiration of the ground leases on August 31, 2022. In connection with any redevelopment, the City of San Jose’s conversion ordinance requires, among other things, that the landowner provide relocation, rental and purchase assistance to the impacted residents. We believe the Nicholsons are unlawfully attempting to impose those obligations upon the Operating Partnership.
Westwinds opened in the 1970s and was developed by our Boardthe original ground lessee with assistance from the Nicholsons. In 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired the leasehold interest in the ground leases. In addition to rent based on the operations of Directors, (3) reducedWestwinds, the Nicholsons receive a percentage of gross proceedsrevenues from the sale of common stock under our ATM equity offering program comparednew or used mobile homes in Westwinds.
The Operating Partnership has entered into subtenancy agreements with the mobilehome residents of Westwinds. Because the ground leases with the Nicholsons have an expiration date of August 31, 2022, and no further right of extension, the Operating Partnership has not entered into any subtenancy agreements that extend beyond August 31, 2022. However, the mobilehome residents’ occupancy rights continue by operation of California state and San Jose municipal law beyond the expiration date of the ground leases. Notwithstanding this, the Nicholsons have made what we believe to be an unlawful demand that the Operating Partnership deliver the property free and clear of any subtenancies upon the expiration of the ground leases by August 31, 2022. We believe the Nicholsons’ demand (i) violates California state and San Jose municipal law because the Nicholsons are demanding that the Operating Partnership remove all residents without just cause and (ii) conflicts with the terms and conditions of the ground leases, which contain no express or implied requirement that the Operating Partnership deliver the property free and clear of all subtenancies at the mobile home park and require, instead, that the Operating Partnership continuously operate the mobilehome park during the lease term.
On December 30, 2019, the Operating Partnership, together with certain interested parties, filed a complaint in California Superior Court for Santa Clara County, seeking declaratory relief pursuant to which it requested that the Court determine, among other things, that the Operating Partnership has no obligation to deliver the property free and clear of the mobilehome residents upon the expiration of the ground leases. The Operating Partnership and the interested parties filed an amended complaint on January 29, 2020.
The Nicholsons filed a demand for arbitration on January 28, 2020, which they subsequently amended, pursuant to which they request (i) a declaration that the Operating Partnership, as the “owner and manager” of Westwinds, is “required by the Ground Leases, and State and local law to deliver the Property free of any encumbrances or third-party claims at the expiration of the lease terms,” (ii) that the Operating Partnership anticipatorily breached the ground leases by publicly repudiating any such obligation and (iii) that the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify the Nicholsons with respect to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and (4) reduced proceeds from stock options and our employee stock purchase plan.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2017, we were subject to certain contractual payment obligations as describedclaims brought by the interested parties in the table below (amountsSuperior Court proceeding.
On February 3, 2020, the Nicholsons filed a motion in thousands):California Superior Court to compel arbitration and to stay the Superior Court litigation, which motion was heard on June 25, 2020. On July 29, 2020, the Superior Court issued a final order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. The Nicholsons filed a notice of appeal on August 7, 2020. The arbitration is stayed pursuant to an agreement between MHC and the Nicholsons.

The Nicholsons expressed opposition to this change in designation. However, on March 10, 2020, following significant pressure from residents and advocacy groups, the City Council approved this new designation for all 58 mobilehome communities in with City of San Jose, including Westwinds. In addition to requirements imposed by California state and San Jose municipal law, the change in designation requires, among other things, a secured or unsecured basis; however,further amendment to the extent we are unablegeneral plan to refinance our debt as it matures, we believe that we will be able to repay such maturing debt through available cash as well as operating cash flow, asset sales and/ora different land use designation by the proceeds from equity issuances.

Inflation
Substantially all of the leases at the Properties allow for monthly or annual rent increases which provide us with the opportunity to achieve increases, where justified by the market, as each lease matures. Such types of leases generally minimize our risks of inflation. In addition, our resort Properties are not generally subject to leases and rents are established for these Sites on an annual basis. Our right-to-use contracts generally provide for an annual dues increase, but dues may be frozen under the terms of certain contracts if the customer is over 61 years of age.

On October 27, 2017, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among us, MHC Operating Limited Partnership, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and other lenders named therein, which amends and restates the terms of the obligations owing by us under the Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of July 17, 2014 pursuant to which we have access to a $400 million unsecured line of credit (the “LOC”) and the $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). We have the option to increase the borrowing capacity by $200 million, subject to certain conditions. The LOC maturity date was extended to October 27, 2021, and this term can be extended an additional year in two six month increments, subject to certain conditions. The LOC bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.10% to 1.55% and requires an annual facility fee of 0.15% to 0.35%. 

We also extended the term of our Term Loan, which now matures on April 27, 2023 and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.20% to 1.90% per annum. For both the LOC and Term Loan, the spread over LIBOR is variable based on leverage throughout the respective loan terms. We incurred commitment and arrangement fees of approximately $3.6 million to enter into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty dated as of October 27, 2017, among us and certain of our subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent, we have guaranteed all of the obligations of our operating partnership under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

The foregoing summaries of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Guaranty and the amendments to the LOC and Term Loan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Guaranty, each of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
