NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31,SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

UMH Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, “us” or “the Company”) operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) deriving its income primarily from real estate rental operations. The Company owns and operates 128132 manufactured home communities containing approximately 24,10025,000 developed homesites as of March 31,September 30, 2022. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, Alabama and South Carolina. The Company also has an ownership interest in and operates one community in Florida through its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate. The Company, through its wholly-owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), sells manufactured homes to residents and prospective residents in our communities. Inherent in the operations of manufactured home communities are site vacancies. S&F was established to fill these vacancies and enhance the value of the communities. The Company also owns a portfolio of REIT securities which the Company generally limits to no more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include S&F, and all of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries.subsidiaries and its qualified opportunity zone fund (See Note 6). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a 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 (“U.S. 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 U.S. 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 March 31,September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. 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, 2021.

 

911

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with 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 years then ended. These estimates and assumptions include the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, depreciation, valuation of securities, accounting for land development, reserves and accruals, and stock compensation expense. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the financial statements for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the statement presentation for the current periods.

 

Investment in Joint Venture

 

The Company accounts for its investment in its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial decisions of the joint venture. Under the equity method of accounting, the cost of an investment is adjusted for the Company’s share of the equity in net income or loss from the date of acquisition, reduced by distributions received and increased by contributions made. The income or loss is allocated in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement. The carrying value of the investment in the joint venture is reviewed for other than temporary impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Financial condition, operational performance, and other economic trends are among the factors that are considered in evaluation of the existence of impairment indicators (See Note 5).

Leases

 

We account for our leases under ASC 842, “Leases.” Our primary source of revenue is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes, where we are the lessor. These leases are generally for one-year or month-to-month terms and renewable by mutual agreement from us and the resident, or in some cases, as provided by jurisdictional statute.

 

We are the lessee in other arrangements, primarily for our corporate office and a ground lease at one community. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $3.53.7 million are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued liabilities and deposits on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

1012

 

Future minimum lease payments under these leases over the remaining lease terms are as follows (in thousands):

SCHEDULE OF FUTURE MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS

        
2022 $315  $115 
2023  391   460 
2024  391   460 
2025  391   460 
2026  391   460 
Thereafter  19,123   18,870 
        
Total Lease Payments $21,002  $20,825 

 

The weighted average remaining lease term for these leases is 164.5159.8 years. The right of use assets and lease liabilities waswere calculated using an interest rate of 5%.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The Company’s restricted cash consists of amounts primarily held in deposit for tax, insurance and repair escrows held by lenders in accordance with certain debt agreements. Restricted cash is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The following table reconciles beginning of period and end of period balances of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the periods shown (in thousands):

Revenue

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASC 606). For transactions in the scope of ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of goods or services transfers to the customer, in the amount that we expect to receive for the transfer of goods or provision of services.

 

Rental and related income is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes. The lease component of these agreements is accounted for under ASC 842 “Leases.” The non-lease components of our lease agreements consist primarily of utility reimbursements, which are accounted for with the site lease as a single lease under ASC 842.

 

1113

 

Revenue from sales of manufactured homes is recognized in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606, at the time of closing when control of the home transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, we generally have no remaining performance obligation.

 

Interest income is primarily from notes receivables for the previous sales of manufactured homes. Interest income on these receivables is accrued based on the unpaid principal balances of the underlying loans on a level yield basis over the life of the loans.

 

Dividend income and gain (loss) on sales of marketable securities are from our investments in marketable securities and are presented separately but are not in the scope of ASC 606.

 

Other income primarily consists of brokerage commissions for arranging for the sale of a home by a third party and other miscellaneous income. This income is recognized when the transactions are completed and our performance obligations have been fulfilled.

 

Notes Receivables

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. As of March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had notes receivable of $53.561.0 million and $45.250.8 million, net of the fair value adjustment of $1.11.2 million and $0.91.0 million, respectively. Notes receivable are presented as a component of notes and other receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheets. These receivables represent balances owed to us for previously completed performance obligations for sales of manufactured homes.

 

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic Net Income (Loss) per Share is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) less Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and when dilutive, the potential net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method. In periods with a net loss, the diluted loss per share equals the basic loss per share as all common stock equivalents are excluded from the per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive.

 

1214

 

 

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, common stock equivalents ofresulting from employee stock options to purchase 1.43.5 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net LossIncome (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase 3.23.3 million shares of common stock amounted to 898,0001.0 million shares, which were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, employee stock options to purchase 3.3 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 3 –INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

In addition to the Company’s investment in marketable securities at fair value, the Company is required to disclose certain information about fair values of its other 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 marketable securities 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 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 receivable approximates their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature. The fair value of variable rate loans payable approximate their current carrying amounts since such amounts payable are at approximately a weighted-average current market rate of interest. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $473.3484.6 million and the carrying value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $479.5504.6 million.

NOTE 1011CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS

 

From time to time, the Company may be subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that any such claims or litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.

 

The Company has an agreement with 21st Mortgage Corporation (“21st Mortgage”) under which 21st Mortgage can provide financing for home purchasers in the Company’s communities. The Company does not receive referral fees or other cash compensation under the agreement. If 21st Mortgage makes loans to purchasers and those purchasers default on their loans and 21st Mortgage repossesses the homes securing such loans, the Company has agreed to purchase from 21st Mortgage each such repossessed home for a price equal to 80% to 95% of the amount under each such loan, subject to certain adjustments. This agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days written notice. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, the total loan balance under this agreement was approximately $1.21.1 million. Additionally, 21st Mortgage previously made loans to purchasers in certain communities we acquired. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the Company has agreed to purchase from 21st Mortgage each repossessed home, if those purchasers default on their loans. The purchase price ranges from 55% to 100% of the amount under each such loan, subject to certain adjustments. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, the total loan balance owed to 21st Mortgage with respect to homes in these acquired communities was approximately $1.31.2 million. Although this agreement is still active, this program is not being utilized by the Company’s new customers as a source of financing.

 

S&F entered into a Chattel Loan Origination, Sale and Servicing Agreement (“COP Program”) with Triad Financial Services, effective January 1, 2016. Neither the Company, nor S&F, receive referral fees or other cash compensation under the agreement. Customer loan applications are initially submitted to Triad for consideration by Triad’s portfolio of outside lenders. If a loan application does not meet the criteria for outside financing, the application is then considered for financing under the COP Program. If the loan is approved under the COP Program, then it is originated by Triad, assigned to S&F and then assigned by S&F to the Company. Included in notes and other receivables is approximately $47.955.8 million of loans that the Company acquired under the COP Program as of March 31,September 30, 2022.

 

The Company and one of its subsidiaries are parties to a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of December 8, 2021 with an affiliate of Nuveen, Real Estate, which governs the joint venture formed between the Company and Nuveen Real Estate.Nuveen. The LLC Agreement provides for the parties to initially fund up to $70 million of equity capital for acquisitions during a 24-month commitment period, with Nuveen having the option, subject to certain conditions, to elect to increase the parties’ total commitments by up to an additional $100 million and to extend the commitment period for up to an additional four years. The Company is required to fund 40% of the committed capital and Nuveen is required to fund 60%. All such funding will be on a parity basis. (See Note 5). The Company anticipates closing on an acquisition of land through its joint venture for a purchase price totaling approximately $2.8 million, in the next few weeks.

In addition, the Company anticipates closing on two communities totaling 511 sites, for approximately $42 million, in the next few weeks.

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 footnotes thereto included elsewhere herein and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The Company is a Maryland corporation that operates as 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, which includes leasing manufactured home spaces on an annual or month-to-month basis to residents. The Company also leases manufactured homes to residents and, through its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), sells and finances the sale of manufactured homes to residents and prospective residents of our communities and for placement on customers’ privately-owned land. The Company also formed an opportunity zone fund to acquire, develop and redevelop manufactured housing communities requiring substantial capital investment and located in areas designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones by the Treasury Department pursuant to a program authorized under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to encourage long-term investment in economically distressed areas.  The Company currently holds a 78% percentage interest in the opportunity zone fund.

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2022, the Company owned and operated 128132 manufactured home communities (including one community acquired through the opportunity zone fund) containing approximately 24,10025,000 developed homesites. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, Alabama and South Carolina. The Company also has an ownership interest in and operates one community in Florida through its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate.

 

The Company earns income from the operation of its manufactured home communities, leasing of manufactured homesites, the rental of manufactured homes, the sale and finance of manufactured homes and the brokering of home sales and revenue under cable service agreements as well as from appreciation in the values of the manufactured home communities and vacant land owned by the Company. In addition, the Company receives property management and other fees from its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate.Estate and from its opportunity zone fund. Management views the Company as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to its allocation of capital and resourcesresources. The Company also invests in equity securities of other REITs which the Company generally limits to no more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, the securities portfolio represented 3.3%2.4% of undepreciated assets.

27

The Company believes that its capital structure, which allows for the ownership of assets using a balanced combination of equity obtained through the issuance of common stock, preferred stock and debt, will enhance shareholder returns as the properties appreciate over time.

 

The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that over time are expected to yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. This has resulted in increased occupancy rates and improved operating results. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, rental and related income increased 7% from the prior year period and Community Net Operating Income (“NOI”), as defined below, increased 8%.1% and 5%, respectively. Same property NOI, which includes communities owned and operated as of January 1, 2021, increased 5%4% for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 over the prior year period, driven byprimarily due to a 70 basis point increase in occupancy, to 86.7%, and rental rate increase of 4.9%6%. We have been positioning ourselves for future growth and will continue to seek opportunistic investments. In addition, on behalf of our recently-formed joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate, we will seek opportunities to acquire manufactured home communities that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. We will also seek additional opportunities, through our opportunity zone fund, to acquire communities that require substantial capital investment and are located in Qualified Opportunity Zones.

 

Sales of manufactured homes increased 16% and decreased 3%7% during the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, respectively, from the prior year.year period and increased 29% sequentially from the second quarter of 2022. Demand for quality affordable housing remains healthy while inventory is scarce. Our property type offers substantial comparative value that should result in increased demand.

23

 

The macro-economic environment and current housing fundamentals continue to favor home rentals. Rental homes in a manufactured home community allow the resident to obtain the efficiencies of factory-built housing and the amenities of community living for less than the cost of other forms of affordable housing. We continue to see strong demand for rental homes. We have added an additional 52293 rental homes during the first threenine months of 2022. This brought the total number of rental homes to approximately 8,8009,000 rental homes, or 36.3%36.0% of total sites. Occupied rental homes represented approximately 40.2%40.0% of total occupied sites at quarter end. Occupancy in rental homes continues to be strong and was at 95.3%94.3% as of March 31,September 30, 2022. We compare favorably with other types of rental housing, including apartments, and we will continue to allocate capital to rental home purchases, as demand dictates. We anticipate adding approximately 700 - 800500 rental homes in 2022.

See PART I, Item 1 – Business in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.

 

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

On a regular basis, management evaluates our assumptions, judgments and estimates. Management believes there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our significant accounting policies and estimates under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

2429

 

 

Supplemental Measures

 

In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, 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 we believe are meaningful as they allow the investor 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 flow of the portfolio. These non-GAAP financial measures as determined and presented by us may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies and include Community Net Operating Income (“Community NOI”), Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“FFO”) and Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”).

 

We define Community NOI as rental and related income less community operating expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, community salaries, utilities, insurance and other expenses. We believe that Community NOI is helpful to investors and analysts as a direct measure of the actual operating results of our manufactured home communities, rather than our Company overall. Community NOI should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Community NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

 

The Company’s Community NOI for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 is calculated as follows (in thousands):

Community NOI $23,712  $23,415  $70,524  $67,287 

 

We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“FFO”), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of a REIT. FFO, as defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), represents net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. of America (“U.S. GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items, as defined under U.S. GAAP, gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, the change in the fair value of marketable securities, and the gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. Included in the NAREIT FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, is an option pertaining to assets incidental to our main business in the calculation of NAREIT FFO to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of these assets, such as marketable equity securities and include or exclude mark-to-market changes in the value recognized on these marketable equity securities. In conjunction with the adoption of the FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, for all periods presented, we have elected to exclude the gains and losses realized on marketable securities investments and the change in the fair value of marketable securities from our FFO calculation. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”), as FFO excluding certain one-time charges. FFO and Normalized FFO should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have a different cost basis. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO and Normalized FFO and, accordingly, our FFO and Normalized FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO and Normalized FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.

 

30

FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

 

The Company’s FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 are calculated as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s focus is on real estate investments, including investment in rental homes. Additionally, the Company invests in marketable debt and equity securities of other REITs. The REIT securities portfolio provides the Company with liquidity and additional income and serves as a proxy for real estate when more favorable risk adjusted returns are not available. The Company generally limits its marketable securities investments to no more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets.

 

The Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the Company’s shareholders, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service, purchases of manufactured home inventory and rental homes, financing of manufactured home sales and payments of expenses relating to real estate operations. We anticipate that the liquidity demands of the recent properties acquired will be met by the operations of these acquisitions. The Company’s ability to generate cash adequate to meet these demands is dependent primarily on income from its real estate investments and marketable securities portfolio, the sale of real estate investments and marketable securities, refinancing of mortgage debt, leveraging of real estate investments, availability of bank borrowings, lines of credit, and other incurrence of indebtedness, proceeds from the DRIP, and access to the capital markets, including through its 2022 Common ATM Program.Programs.

In addition to cash generated through operations, the Company uses a variety of sources to fund its cash needs, including acquisitions. The Company may sell marketable securities from its investment portfolio, borrow on its unsecured credit facility or lines of credit, incur other indebtedness, finance and refinance its properties, and/or raise capital through the DRIP and capital markets, including through the Company’s ATM Programs. In order to provide financial flexibility to opportunistically access the capital markets, the Company has implemented a 2022 Common ATM Program. The 2022 Common ATM Program allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock, having an aggregate sales price of up to $150 million from time to time through the Distribution Agents.

The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that over time are expected to yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. As part of this plan, we intend to seek opportunities, through our opportunity zone fund, to acquire communities that require substantial capital investment and are located in Qualified Opportunity Zones. In addition, on behalf of our recently-formed joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate, we will seek opportunities to acquire manufactured home communities that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. There is no guarantee that any of these additional opportunities will materialize or that the Company will be able to take advantage of such opportunities. The growth of our real estate portfolio and success of our joint venture depends on the availability of suitable properties which meet the Company’s investment criteria and appropriate financing. Competition in the market areas in which the Company operates is significant. To the extent that funds or appropriate communities are not available, fewer acquisitions will be made.
