PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL We own, operate and finance manufactured housing communities concentrated in the midwestern and southeastern United States. Sun Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation and our sole general partner ("General Partner"), is a fully integrated real estate company which, together with its affiliates and predecessors, has been in the business of acquiring, operating and expanding manufactured housing communities since 1975. As of December 31, 2001, we owned and operated or financed a portfolio of 116 developed properties located in fifteen states (the "Properties"), including 105 manufactured housing communities, 5 recreational vehicle communities, and 6 properties containing both manufactured housing and recreational vehicle sites. As of December 31, 2001, the Properties contained an aggregate of 40,544 developed sites comprised of 35,390 developed manufactured home sites and 5,154 recreational vehicle sites and an additional 4,385 manufactured home sites suitable for development. In order to enhance Property performance and cash flow, the Company, through Sun Home Services, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("SHS"), actively markets and sells new and used manufactured homes for placement in the Properties. Our executive and principal property management office is located at 31700 Middlebelt Road, Suite 145, Farmington Hills, Michigan 48334 and our telephone number is (248) 932-3100. We have regional property management offices located in Austin, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, Elkhart, Indiana, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Orlando, Florida, and we employed an aggregate of 546 people as of December 31, 2001. STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY Our General Partner is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, and is the entity through which our General Partner conducts substantially all of its operations, and which owns, either directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries"), all of the General Partner's assets. This UPREIT structure enables the General Partner to comply with certain complex requirements under the Federal tax rules and regulations applicable to REITs, and to acquire manufactured housing communities in transactions that defer some or all of the sellers' tax consequences. Our Subsidiaries include SHS, which provides manufactured home sales and other services to current and prospective tenants of the Properties. Along with several other subsidiaries, SHS wholly owns Sun Water Oak Golf, Inc., which was organized to own and operate the golf course, restaurant and related facilities located on the Water Oak Property that was acquired in November 1994, and SUI TRS, Inc., which was organized to hold our investment in Origen Financial, L.L.C. See "Factors that May Affect Future Results -- Relationship with Origen" in our General Partner's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. 2 THE MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITY INDUSTRY A manufactured housing community is a residential subdivision designed and improved with sites for the placement of manufactured homes and related improvements and amenities. Manufactured homes are detached, single-family homes which are produced off-site by manufacturers and installed on sites within the community. Manufactured homes are available in a wide array of designs, providing owners with a level of customization generally unavailable In other forms of multifamily housing. Modern manufactured housing communities, such as the Properties, contain improvements similar to other garden-style residential developments, including centralized entrances, paved streets, curbs and gutters, and parkways. In addition, these communities also often provide a number of amenities, such as a clubhouse, a swimming pool, shuffleboard courts, tennis courts, laundry facilities and cable television service. The owner of each home on our Properties leases the site on which the home is located. We own the underlying land, utility connections, streets, lighting, driveways, common area amenities and other capital improvements and are responsible for enforcement of community guidelines and maintenance. Some of the Properties provide water and sewer service through public or private utilities, while others provide these services to residents from on-site facilities. Each owner within our Properties is responsible for the maintenance of his or her home and leased site. As a result, capital expenditure needs tend to be less significant, relative to multi-family rental apartment complexes. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Our property management strategy emphasizes intensive, hands-on management by dedicated, on-site district and community managers. We believe that this on-site focus enables us to continually monitor and address tenant concerns, the performance of competitive properties and local market conditions. Of the 546 Company employees, 487 are located on-site as property managers, support staff, or maintenance personnel. Our community managers are overseen by Brian W. Fannon, our General Partner's Chief Operating Officer, who has 32 years of property management experience, a Senior-Vice President-Operations, three Vice Presidents of Operations and ten Regional Property Managers. In addition, the Regional Property Managers are responsible for semi-annual market surveys of competitive communities, interaction with local manufactured home dealers and regular property inspections. Each district or community manager performs regular inspections in order to continually monitor the Property's physical condition and provides managers with the opportunity to understand and effectively address tenant concerns. In addition to a district or community manager, each district or property has an on-site maintenance personnel and management support staff. We hold periodic training sessions for all property management personnel to ensure that management policies are implemented effectively and professionally. 3 HOME SALES SHS offers manufactured home sales services to tenants and prospective tenants of our Properties. Since tenants often purchase a home already on-site within a community, such services enhance occupancy and property performance. Additionally, because many of the homes in the Properties are sold through SHS, better control of home quality in our communities can be maintained than if sales services were conducted solely through third-party brokers. REGULATIONS AND INSURANCE General. Manufactured housing community properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, clubhouses and other common areas. We believe that each Property has the necessary operating permits and approvals. Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). The Properties and any newly acquired manufactured housing communities must comply with the ADA. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial facilities," but generally requires that public facilities such as clubhouses, pools and recreation areas be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers and other capital improvements at our Properties. Noncompliance could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. We do not believe the ADA will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. If required property improvements involve a greater expenditure than we currently anticipate, or if the improvements must be made on a more accelerated basis than we anticipate, our ability to make expected distributions could be adversely affected. We believe that our competitors face similar costs to comply with the requirements of the ADA. Insurance. Our management believes that the Properties are covered by adequate fire, flood, property and business interruption insurance provided by reputable companies with commercially reasonable deductibles and limits. We maintain a blanket policy that covers all of our Properties. We have obtained title insurance insuring fee title to the Properties in an aggregate amount which we believe to be adequate. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS Our prospects are subject to certain uncertainties and risks. Our future results could differ materially from our current results, and our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors set forth in the General Partner's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, other one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This report contains certain forward-looking statements. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES General. As of December 31, 2001, the Properties consisted of 104 manufactured housing communities, 5 recreational vehicle communities, and 7 properties containing both manufactured housing and recreational vehicle sites located in fifteen states concentrated in the midwestern and 4 southeastern United States. As of December 31, 2001, the Properties contained 40,544 developed sites comprised of 35,340 developed manufactured home sites and 5,154 recreational vehicle sites and an additional 4,385 manufactured home sites suitable for development. Most of the Properties include amenities oriented towards family and retirement living. Of the 116 Properties, 61 have more than 300 developed manufactured home sites, with the largest having 1,554 developed manufactured home sites. The Properties had an aggregate occupancy rate of 93% as of December 31, 2001, excluding recreational vehicle sites. Since January 1, 2001, the Properties have averaged an aggregate annual turnover of homes (where the home is moved out of the community) of approximately 3.2% and an average annual turnover of residents (where the home is sold and remains within the community, typically without interruption of rental income) of approximately 7.4%. We believe that our Properties' high amenity levels contribute to low turnover and generally high occupancy rates. All of the Properties provide residents with attractive amenities with most offering a clubhouse, a swimming pool, laundry facilities and cable television service. Many Properties offer additional amenities such as sauna/whirlpool spas, tennis, shuffleboard and basketball courts and/or exercise rooms. We have tried to concentrate our communities within certain geographic areas in order to achieve economies of scale in management and operation. The Properties are principally concentrated in the midwestern and southeastern United States. We believe that geographic diversification will help insulate the portfolio from regional economic influences and we are also interested in expanding our operations in the western United States.

In some cases, leases are for one-year terms, with up to ten renewal options exercisable by the tenant, with rent adjusted for increases in the consumer price index. These leases are cancelable for non-payment of rent, violation of community rules and regulations or other specified defaults. See "Regulations and Insurance." ITEM 3.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto elsewhere herein. The Company owns, operates and finances manufactured housing communities concentrated in the midwestern and southeastern United States. Sun Communities, Inc. ("Sun"), a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust is the sole general partner of the Company. As of December 31, 2001, the Company owned and operated or financed a portfolio of 116 developed properties located in 15 states, including 104 manufactured housing communities, 5 recreational vehicle communities, and 7 properties containing both manufactured housing and recreational vehicle sites. During 2001, the Company acquired five manufactured housing communities, comprising 2,332 developed sites, for $55.8 million and two development communities, comprising 1,273 sites, for $4.3 million and the Company sold two manufactured housing communities for $16.2 million. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgment of certain amounts included in the financial statements. Nevertheless, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following significant accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements: Principles of Consolidation. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its wholly and 99 percent owned subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies. Notes Receivable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its notes receivable whenever events occur or there are changes in circumstances such that management believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The loan is then measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flow discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. 14 Rental Property. Rental property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment in rental property whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as recent operating results, expected net operating cash flow and plans for future operations, indicate that full asset recoverability is questionable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets were deemed to be impaired as a result of this measurement, the impairment that would be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset as determined on a discounted net cash flow basis. Revenue Recognition. Rental income attributable to leases is recorded on a straight-line basis when earned from tenants. Leases entered into by tenants generally range from month-to-month to one year and are renewable by mutual agreement of the Company and the resident. Income Taxes. As a partnership, the Company does not pay federal or state income taxes. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of year ended December 31, 2001 to year ended December 31, 2000 For the year ended December 31, 2001, income before gain from property dispositions, net and distribution to Preferred OP Units increased by $1.5 million from $41.5 million to $43.0 million, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was due to increased revenues of $7.0 million while expenses increased by $5.5 million. Income from property increased by $6.6 million from $132.4 million to $139.0 million, or 5.0 percent, due to rent increases and other community revenues ($6.5 million) and acquisitions ($4.4 million), offset by a revenue reduction of $4.3 million due to property dispositions. Other income increased by $0.4 million from $14.1 million to $14.5 million due primarily to an increase in interest income ($1.3 million) offset by reductions in income from affiliate ($0.5 million) and other income ($0.4 million). Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.6 million from $28.6 million to $29.2 million, or 2.0 percent, representing general cost increases ($1.0 million) and acquisitions ($0.7 million), offset by an expense reduction of $1.1 million due to property dispositions. Real estate taxes increased by $0.4 million from $9.1 million to $9.5 million, or 4.5 percent, due to the acquired communities ($0.2 million) and changes in certain assessments. Property management expenses decreased by $0.2 million from $2.9 million to $2.7 million, representing 2.0 percent and 2.2 percent of income from property in 2001 and 2000, respectively. 15 General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million from $4.1 million to $4.6 million, representing 3.0 percent and 2.8 percent of total revenues in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest expense increased by $1.4 million from $29.6 million to $31.0 million due primarily to financing additional investments in rental property offset by decreasing rates on variable rate debt. 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 $5.7 million from $101.8 million to $107.5 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 70.0 percent in 2001 compared to 69.5 percent in 2000. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.8 million from $30.7 million to $33.5 million due primarily to the net additional investments in rental properties. Comparison of year ended December 31, 2000 to year ended December 31, 1999 For the year ended December 31, 2000, income before gain from property dispositions, net and distribution to Preferred OP Units increased by $4.9 million from $36.6 million to $41.5 million, when compared to the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was due to increased revenues of $11.6 million while expenses increased by $6.7 million. Income from property increased by $7.0 million from $125.4 million to $132.4 million, or 5.6 percent, due to rent increases and other community revenues ($5.3 million), acquisitions ($3.1 million), lease up of manufactured home sites ($2.2 million), offset by a revenue reduction of $3.6 million due to the sale of communities during 1999. Other income increased by $4.6 million from $9.5 million to $14.1 million due primarily to an increase in interest income ($3.0 million) and other income ($2.7 million), offset by a $1.1 million reduction in income from affiliate. Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $1.3 million from $27.3 million to $28.6 million, or 4.7 percent, due primarily to acquisitions ($0.8 million). Real estate taxes increased by $0.2 million from $8.9 million to $9.1 million, or 2.5 percent, due primarily to the acquired communities. Property management expenses increased by $0.3 million from $2.6 million to $2.9 million, or 11.2 percent, representing 2.2 percent and 2.1 percent of income from property in 2000 and 1999, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million from $3.7 million to $4.1 million, or 10.8 percent, representing 2.8 percent and 2.7 percent of total revenues in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 16 Interest expense increased by $2.4 million from $27.3 million to $29.7 million due primarily to investments in rental property and notes receivable. EBITDA increased by $9.4 million from $92.4 million to $101.8 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 69.5 percent in 2000 compared to 68.5 percent in 1999. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.1 million from $28.6 million to $30.7 million due primarily to the acquisition and development/expansion of communities in 2000 and 1999. SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION The following table reflects property-level financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. The "Same Property" data represents information regarding the operation of communities owned as of January 1, 2000 and December 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.

(2) Includes 3 properties sold in December 2000. On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $5.4 million from $99.9 million to $105.3 million, or 5.4 percent, due primarily to increases in rents and related charges including water and property tax pass through. Property operating expenses increased by $0.8 million from $25.6 million to $26.4 million, or 3.2 percent, due to increased costs. Property EBITDA increased by $4.5 million from $74.4 million to $78.9 million, or 6.1 percent. 17 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to Sun's stockholders and the Company's unitholders, property acquisitions, development and expansion of properties, capital improvements of properties and debt repayment. The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through its working capital provided by operating activities and its line of credit, as described below. The Company considers its ability to generate cash from operations (anticipated to be approximately $70 million) to be adequate to meet all operating requirements, including recurring capital improvements, routinely amortizing debt and other normally recurring expenditures of a capital nature, pay distributions to Sun's stockholders to maintain Sun's qualification as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and make distributions to the Company's unitholders. The Company plans to invest approximately $25 to $30 million in developments consisting of expansions to existing communities and the new or continuing development of new communities. The Company expects to finance these investments by using net cash flows provided by operating activities and by drawing upon its line of credit. Furthermore, the Company expects to invest in the range of $40 to $60 million in the acquisition of properties in 2002, depending upon market conditions. The Company plans to finance these investments by using net cash flows provided by operating activities and by drawing upon its line of credit. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $13.9 million to $4.6 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $18.5 million at December 31, 2000 because cash used in investing and financing activities exceeded cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $9.2 million to $65.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $56.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily due to earnings attributable to OP Units before depreciation and amortization and gain from property dispositions, net increasing by $4.0 million and other assets decreasing by $2.6 million, offset by accounts payable and other liabilities increasing by $2.5 million. The Company's net cash flows provided by operating activities may be adversely impacted by, among other things: (a) the market and economic conditions in the Company's current markets generally, and specifically in metropolitan areas of the Company's current markets; (b) lower occupancy and rental rates of the Properties; (c) increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities, that cannot be passed on to the Company's tenants; and (d) decreased sales of manufactured homes. See "Factors that May Affect Future Results." The Company's $150 million unsecured line of credit, which expires in January 2003, bears interest at the annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.0%. At December 31, 2001, the average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under the line of credit was 3.22%, $93 million was outstanding and $57 million was available to be drawn. The line of credit facility contains 18 various leverage, debt service coverage, net worth maintenance and other customary covenants all of which the Company was in compliance with at December 21, 2001. The Company's primary long-term liquidity needs are principal payments on outstanding indebtedness. At December 31, 2001, the Company's outstanding contractual obligations were as follows: PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD (IN THOUSANDS) ---------------------------------------------------- CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS(1) TOTAL DUE 1 YEAR 2-3 YEARS 4-5 YEARS AFTER 5 YEARS --------- -------- --------- --------- ------------- Line of credit $ 93,000 $ 93,000 Collateratized term loan 42,820 $ 614 1,365 $ 1,569 $ 39,272 Senior notes 285,000 85,000 200,000 Mortgage notes, other 48,333 857 2,719 7,986 36,771 Capitalized lease obligations 26,045 16,176 9,869 Redeemable Preferred OP Units 43,958 3,564 40,394 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- $539,156 $ 17,647 $191,953 $ 13,119 $316,437 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== (1) The Company is the guarantor of $23.2 million in personal bank loans which is not reflected in the balance sheet, maturing in 2004, made to Sun's and the Company's directors, employees and consultants for the purpose of purchasing shares of Sun's common stock or the Company's OP Units pursuant to Sun's Stock Purchase Plan. The Company is obligated under the Guaranty only in the event that one or more of the borrowers cannot repay their loan when due. The Company anticipates meeting its long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, large property acquisitions and Operating Partnership unit redemptions, through the issuance of debt or equity securities, including equity units in the Operating Partnership, or from selective asset sales. Along with OrigenLLC's other investors, the Company may be requested to make additional capital contributions to maintain its respective ownership interest. The Company has maintained investment grade ratings with Fitch ICBA, Moody's Investor Service and Standard & Poor's, which facilitates access to the senior unsecured debt market. Since 1993, the Company has raised, in the aggregate, $263.4 million from the sale of Sun's shares of common stock, $84.2 million from the issuance of OP units in the Company and $430 million from secured and unsecured debt securities. In addition, at December 31, 2001, ninety-six of the Properties were unencumbered by debt, therefore, providing substantial financial flexibility. The ability of the Company to finance its long-term liquidity requirements in such manner will be affected by numerous economic factors affecting the manufactured housing community industry at the time, including the availability and cost of mortgage debt, the financial condition of the Company, the operating history of the Properties, the state of the debt and equity markets, and the general national, regional and local economic conditions. See "Factors that May Affect Future Results". If the Company is unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will be harmed. The terms of the $35.8 million Preferred OP units were renegotiated effective December 31, 2001. The conversion price increased from $27 per unit to at least $68 per unit and the coupon rate was decreased from nine percent (9%) to seven percent (7%) for the first two years followed by a variable rate ranging from 6.5% to 8.5% with mandatory redemption on January 2, 2014. 19 At December 31, 2001, the Company's debt to total market capitalization approximated 36.7 percent (assuming conversion of all Common OP Units to shares of common stock). The debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 5.3 years and a weighted average interest rate of 6.6 percent. Capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 included recurring capital expenditures of $4.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $34.2 million to $35.1 million from $69.3 million due to a $84.5 million increase in repayments from financing notes receivable, net offset by a $20.7 million increase in investment in and advances to affiliates, a $17.1 million decrease in proceeds related to property dispositions and a $12.5 million increase in rental property acquisition activities. Net cash used in financing activities increased by $64.4 million to $44.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily because of a $74.5 million increase in repayments on notes payable, $100 million reduced proceeds from notes payable and $7.1 million in capital withdrawals and distributions offset by a $116.0 million increase in borrowings on the line of credit. RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was 1.83:1, 1.87:1, and 1.95:1 respectively. INDUSTRY CONDITIONS According to the Manufactured Housing Institute, the shipments of new manufactured homes has declined from 373,000 in 1998 to 193,000 in 2001. This decline was caused primarily by the tightening of credit standards in response to an increasing number of repossessions. Beginning in 1999, repossessions increased as unqualified borrowers defaulted on their manufactured home loans. Financing standards tightened significantly reducing demand at a time of excessive inventories. Exacerbating this excess supply was the competition of aggressively priced repossessed homes which further slowed new home sales. The Company expects these conditions to work themselves back into equilibrium. New home shipments increased in October 2001 as compared to October 2000, representing the first such year to year monthly increase since March 1999. Fourth quarter 2001 shipments exceeded fourth quarter 2000 shipments and the trend has continued through January 2002 with no sign of inventory accumulation. Repossessions are expected to remain at high levels throughout most, if not all, of 2002. These conditions adversely impact the sale of new homes by SHS, which harms the Company's profitability. Furthermore, these conditions cause a slow-down in the leasing of the Company's communities, especially newly developed expansions and new communities, which in turn slows the development of new sites causing the Company to hold non-income producing land inventory longer. 20 INFLATION Most of the leases allow for periodic rent increases which provide the Company with the opportunity to achieve increases in rental income as each lease expires. Such types of leases generally minimize the risk of inflation to the Company. SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT This Form 10-K 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 "Factors That May Affect Future Results" for a representative example of such uncertainties and factors. 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 August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -- Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). The provisions of this SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application encouraged. The provisions of this standard are generally to be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect a material impact from the adoption of this standard. In June 2001, the FASB approved SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires, among other things, that the purchase method of accounting for business combinations be used for all business combinations initiated after September 30, 2001. SFAS 142 addresses the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets no longer be amortized and that such assets be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect these pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements. 21 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 data for both basic and diluted purposes for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands): 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Net income $ 33,910 $ 33,294 $ 29,089 Deduct Gain from property dispositions, net (4,275) (4,801) (829) Add: Minority interest in earnings to common OP Unit holders 5,205 5,184 4,683 Depreciation and amortization, net of corporate office depreciation 33,246 30,393 28,310 -------- -------- -------- Funds from operations - basic 68,086 64,070 61,253 Add distributions on Convertible preferred OP Units -- -- 2,505 -------- -------- -------- Funds from operations - diluted $ 68,086 $ 64,070 $ 63,758 ======== ======== ======== 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Weighted average common shares and OP Units outstanding for basic per share/unit data 19,907 19,999 19,961 Dilutive securities: Stock options and awards 182 86 152 Convertible preferred OP Units -- -- 1,245 -------- -------- -------- Weighted average common shares and OP Units outstanding for diluted per share/unit data 20,089 20,085 21,358 ======== ======== ======== 22 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company does not hedge interest rate risk using financial instruments nor is the Company subject to foreign currency risk on its long-term debt, mortgage notes and other notes receivable. The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to refinancing long-term fixed rate obligations, the opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations in a falling interest rate environment and its variable rate line of credit. The Company primarily enters into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including acquisitions, capital improvements and working capital needs. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk on its variable rate indebtedness by borrowing on a short term basis under its line of credit until such time as it is able to retire the short term variable rate debt with a long term fixed rate debt offering on terms that are advantageous. The Company's variable rate debt is limited to its $150 million line of credit ($93.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2001) which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.0 percent. If LIBOR increased or decreased by 1.0 percent during 2001 and 2000, the Company believes its interest expense would have increased or decreased by approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million based on the $69.2 million and $49.9 million average balance outstanding under the Company's line of credit for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Additionally, the Company has $49.0 million LIBOR based variable rate mortgage and other notes receivables at December 31, 2001. If LIBOR increased or decreased by 1.0 percent during 2001 and 2000, the Company believes interest income would have increased or decreased by approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million based on the $79.5 million and $68.0 million average balance outstanding on all variable rate notes receivables for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: a. BUSINESS: The Company owns and operates or finances 116 manufactured housing communities located in 15 states concentrated principally in the Midwest and Southeast comprising approximately 40,544 developed sites and approximately 4,385 sites suitable for development. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. b. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its wholly and 99 percent owned subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies. All significant inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The limited partnership interests are adjusted to their relative ownership interest by reclassification to/from general partnership interests. Minority interests represented by Sun's one percent indirect interest in the aforementioned subsidiaries are not separately recognized in the Company's financial statements, but rather are included in general and administrative expenses since the amounts involved are immaterial. c. RENTAL PROPERTY: Rental property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment in rental property whenever events or changes in circumstances such as recent operating results, expected net operating cash flow and plans for future operations indicate that full asset recoverability is questionable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets were deemed to be impaired as a result of this measurement, the impairment that would be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset as determined on a discounted cash flow basis. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The provisions of this SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect a material impact from the adoption of this standard. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives are 30 years for land improvements and buildings and 7 to 15 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and significant renovations and improvements, which improve and/or extend the useful life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Construction costs related to new community or expansion sites development including interest are capitalized until the property is substantially complete. F-8 SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): d. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. e. NOTES RECEIVABLE: The Company evaluates the recoverability of its notes receivable whenever events occur or there are changes in circumstances such that management believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The loan is then measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flow discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. f. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES: Sun Home Services ("SHS") provides home sales and other services to current and prospective tenants. Through the Operating Partnership, the Company owns 100 percent of the outstanding preferred stock of SHS, is entitled to ninety-five percent (95%) of the operating cash flow, and accounts for its investment utilizing the equity method of accounting. The common stock is owned by one officer of the Company and the estate of a former officer of the Company who collectively are entitled to receive five percent (5%) of the operating cash flow. Bingham Financial Services Corporation ("BFSC") was formed by Sun in 1997 in response to demand for financing from purchasers and residents in the Company's communities. As BFSC's business developed, its objectives and opportunities expanded and the Company concluded that its business could be operated and grown more effectively as a separate public entity. BFSC's initial public offering occurred in November 1997. The Company has continued to provide financial support to BFSC. In December 2001, the Company, through SHS, made a $15 million equity investment in a newly formed company Origen Financial, L.L.C., that will merge with Origen Financial, Inc., subsidiary of BFSC, as part of the recapitalization of BFSC. As a result of this equity investment, the Company will own approximately a thirty percent (30%) interest in the surviving company ("Origen"), which company will hold all of the operating assets of BFSC and its subsidiaries. BFSC owns approximately a twenty percent (20%) interest in Origen and the Company (together with the other investors in Origen) has the right to purchase its pro-rata share of BFSC's interest in Origen at fair value as determined by an independent nationally recognized investment banking firm's application of generally accepted valuation methodologies at any time between the third and fifth anniversaries of the closing date of the Company's investment in Origen. Coincident with the recapitalization of BFSC, Gary A. Shiffman, Sun's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, invested on behalf of himself and his family $5 million in Origen and holds approximately a ten percent (10%) interest in Origen. An unrelated third party also invested $20 million all on the same terms as the Company and Mr. Shiffman. Mr. Shiffman and Arthur A. Weiss, the Company's legal counsel, are directors of BFSC and Sun and Mr. Shiffman currently serves as Chairman of both companies. F-9 SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): f. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES (CONTINUED): Additionally, the Company (together with the unrelated third party) provides financing to Origen and is subject to the risks of being a lender. These risks include the risks relating to borrower delinquency and default and the adequacy of the collateral for such loans. This financing consists of a $21.25 million standby line of credit of which the Company's commitment is $12.5 million ($11.2 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2001), bearing interest at a per annum rate equal to 700 basis points over LIBOR, with a minimum interest rate of 11 percent and a maximum interest rate of 15 percent. This line of credit is collateralized by a security interest in Origen's assets, which is subordinate in all respects to all institutional indebtedness of Origen, and a guaranty and pledge of assets by Bingham. Under the participation agreement, each lender participates pari passu in all proceeds from the line of credit, provided that, if additional funds in excess of $17.5 million are loaned to Origen and both lenders do not participate therein, such additional amounts funded will be subordinate in all respects to all indebtedness of Origen in which both lenders have participated.

During 2000, the Company acquired three manufactured housing communities comprising 659 developed sites for $21.1 million. These transactions have been accounted for as purchases, and the statements of income include the operations of the acquired communities from the dates of their respective acquisitions. As of December 31, 2001, in conjunction with a 1993 acquisition, the Company is obligated to issue $8.2 million of OP Units through 2009 based on the per unit price of the OP Units on the issuance date.

Annual payments under capitalized lease obligations are $2.1 million in 2002 and $0.8 million in 2003. At December 31, 2001, the maturities of debt, excluding the line of credit, during the next five years are approximately as follows: 2002 - $17.6 million; 2003 - $86.7 million; 2004 - $12.2 million; 2005 - $1.6 million; and 2006 - $7.9 million.

SUN'S STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED): Sun's stock option plans provide for up to 2.2 million shares of common stock that may be granted to directors, executive officers and other key employees of Sun or the Company. At December 31, 2001, 369,764 shares of common stock were available for the granting of options.

The Series A Units may be called by the Company at par on or after September 29, 2004, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption and are convertible into Sun's preferred stock under certain circumstances. The terms of the POP Units issued at $27 per unit were renegotiated effective December 31, 2001. The conversion price increased to at least $68 per unit and the annual coupon rate was decreased from 9.0 percent to 7.0 percent for the first two years followed by a variable rate ranging from 6.5 percent to 8.5 percent with mandatory redemption on January 2, 2014.
