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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000

For the three months ended March 31, 2001, income before other, net and minority
interests increased by 8.0 percent from $10.4 million to $11.2 million, when
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was due to
increased revenues of $3.2 million while expenses increased by $2.4 million.

Income from property increased by $1.5 million from $33.1 million to $34.6
million, or 4.5 percent, due to rent increases and other community revenues
($1.8 million) and acquisitions ($0.8 million), offset by a revenue reduction of
$1.1 million due to property dispositions.

Other income increased by $1.7 million from $2.8 million to $4.5 million due
primarily to a $1.4 million increase in interest income.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.2 million from $7.2
million to $7.4 million, or 3.3 percent, due to acquisitions ($0.1 million) and
other community expenses, net.

Real estate taxes remained constant at $2.2 million for both periods.

Property management expenses remained constant at approximately $0.8 million for
both periods representing 2.3 percent and 2.2 percent of income from property in
2001 and 2000, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million from $1.0 million
to $1.1 million, representing 2.9 percent of total revenues in 2001 and 2000.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA", an
alternative financial performance measure that may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies, defined as total revenues
less property operating and maintenance, real estate taxes, property management,
and general and administrative expenses) increased by $2.8 million from $24.7
million to $27.5 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 70.3
percent in 2001 compared to 68.8 percent in 2000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.3 million from $7.5 million to
$7.8 million, or 4.1 percent due primarily to the net additional investment in
rental properties.

Interest expense increased by $1.7 million from $6.7 million to $8.4 million due
primarily to financing the additional investments in rental property and notes
receivable.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION

The following table reflects property-level financial information as of and for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The "Same Property" data
represents information regarding the operation of communities owned as of
January 1, 2000 and March 31, 2001. Site, occupancy, and rent data for those
communities is presented as of the last day of each period presented. The "Total
Portfolio" column differentiates from the "Same Property" column by including
financial information for managed but not owned communities, recreational
vehicle communities, new development and acquisition communities.

On a same property basis, property EBITDA increased by $1.1 million from $18.3
million to $19.4 million, or 6.2 percent. Property revenues increased by $1.3
million from $24.6 million to $25.9 million, or 5.4 percent, due primarily to
increases in rents and occupancy related charges including water and property
tax pass through. Also contributing to revenue growth was the increase of 161
leased sites at March 31, 2001 compared to March 31, 2000.

Property operating expenses increased by $0.2 million from $6.3 million to $6.5
million or 3.4 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents remained approximately $18.5 million at March 31, 2001
and December 31, 2000 because cash provided by operating and investing
activities approximated cash used in financing activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.0 million to $22.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $17.3 million for
the same period in 2000. This increase was primarily due to accounts payable and
other liabilities increasing by $2.2 million, other assets decreasing by $1.7
million and a $1.1 million increase in income before minority interests,
depreciation and amortization and net gain from property dispositions.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $16.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 compared to $28.1 million used in investing activities
during the same period in 2000. This change was primarily due to a $22.3 million
increase in investments in notes receivable, net, proceeds related to property
dispositions of $16.2 million and $17.7 million related to investments in and
advances to affiliates offset by a $11.6 million increase in rental property
acquisition activities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $38.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 compared to $12.0 million provided by financing activities
during the same period in 2000. This change was primarily because of a $35.0
million reduction in borrowings on the line of credit, $9.3 million repayments
on notes payable and other debt, net of financing costs, treasury stock
purchases of $6.2 million and distributions increasing by $0.4 million.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its working capital provided by operating activities. The Company
expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt
maturities and property acquisitions through the issuance of equity or debt
securities, or interests in the Operating Partnership. The Company considers
these sources to be adequate and anticipates they will continue to be adequate
to meet operating requirements, capital improvements, investment in development,
and payment of distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements
in both the short and long term. The Company may also meet these short-term and
long-term requirements by utilizing its $125 million line of credit which bears
interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and is due January 1, 2003. The Company retired the
$65 million of senior notes maturing May 1, 2001 by drawing from its line of
credit.

At March 31, 2001, the Company's debt to total market capitalization
approximated 36.1% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units to
shares of common stock). The debt has a weighted average maturity of
approximately 5.9 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.4%.

Recurring capital expenditures approximated $0.9 million and $1.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OTHER
Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as "net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from sales
of property, plus rental property depreciation and amortization, and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures." Industry
analysts consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the operating
performance of an equity REIT primarily because the computation of FFO excludes
historical cost depreciation as an expense and thereby facilitates the
comparison of REITs which have different cost bases in their assets. Historical
cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real
estate assets diminishes predictably over time, whereas real estate values have
instead historically risen or fallen based upon market conditions. FFO does not
represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles and is a supplemental measure of performance that does not replace
net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating
activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, FFO is not intended as a
measure of a REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash
requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. The following table
calculates FFO for both basic and diluted purposes for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000 (in thousands):

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the
Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe
harbors created thereby. The words "may", "will", "expect", "believe",
"anticipate", "should", "estimate", and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance,
but are based upon current assumptions regarding the Company's operations,
future results and prospects, and are subject to many uncertainties and factors
relating to the Company's operations and business environment which may cause
the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Please see the
section entitled "Factors That May Affect Future Results" of the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2000 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for a list of uncertainties and factors.

Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) changes in the
general economic climate; (ii) increased competition in the geographic areas in
which the Company owns and operates manufactured housing communities; (iii)
changes in government laws and regulations affecting manufactured housing
communities; and (iv) the ability of the Company to continue to identify,
negotiate and acquire manufactured housing communities and/or vacant land which
may be developed into manufactured housing communities on terms favorable to the
Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. The Company adopted SFAS 133 as amended
by SFAS 137 and 138 effective January 1, 2001. There was no effect from the
application of SFAS 133 on the earnings and financial position of the Company as
the Company had no derivative instruments at March 31, 2001 and December 31,
2000.
