Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 16, 2007, Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. issued a news release announcing its results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007. The information is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K. The information contained in this report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed by Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
This news release includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used, words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “project,” “intend,” “may be” and “will be” and similar words or phrases, or the negative thereof, unless the context requires otherwise, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to:
| | • | | in the age-qualified properties, home sales results could be impacted by the ability of potential homebuyers to sell their existing residences as well as by financial markets volatility; |
| |
| | • | | in the all-age properties, results from home sales and occupancy will continue to be impacted by local economic conditions, lack of affordable manufactured home financing, and competition from alternative housing options including site-built single-family housing; |
| |
| | • | | our ability to maintain rental rates and occupancy with respect to properties currently owned or pending acquisitions; |
| |
| | • | | our assumptions about rental and home sales markets; |
| |
| | • | | the completion of pending acquisitions and timing with respect thereto; |
| |
| | • | | the effect of interest rates; and |
| |
| | • | | other risks indicated from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
These forward-looking statements are based on management’s present expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, these statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. The Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
