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, 1999 and 1998
For the three months ended March 31, 1999, income before other, net increased by
11.7 percent from $8.0 million to $8.9 million, when compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was due to increased revenues of $3.6
million while expenses increased by $2.7 million.
Income from property increased by $2.8 million from $28.6 million to $31.4
million or 9.7 percent, due to acquisitions ($1.4 million), lease up of
manufactured home sites including new development ($0.6 million) and increases
in rents and other community revenues ($.8 million).
Other income increased by $0.9 million from $0.8 million to $1.7 million. $0.5
million of the increase in other income relates to income from affiliates and
the remaining $0.4 million of the increase relates to interest income.
Property operating and maintenance increased by $0.4 million from $6.4 million
to $6.8 million or 6.7 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($0.3 million).
Real estate taxes remained constant at $2.2 million during 1999 and 1998.
Property management expenses increased by $0.1 million from $0.5 million to $0.6
million representing 1.9 percent and 1.7 percent of income from property in 1999
and 1998, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million from $0.8 million
to $0.9 million or 8.7 percent due primarily to increased staffing to manage the
growth of the company. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
income from property remained constant at 2.9 percent in both periods.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
increased by $3.0 million from $19.5 million to $22.5 million. EBITDA as a
percent of revenues increased to 68.0 percent in 1999 compared to 66.3 percent
in 1998.

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.0 million from $5.9 million to
$6.9 million or 15.9 percent due primarily to the acquisition of communities in
1999 and 1998.
Interest expense increased by $1.1 million from $5.6 million to $6.7 million or
19.8 percent primarily due to increased average debt outstanding.
Other, net of $0.9 million in 1998 represents a gain from the disposition of
certain assets.
SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION
The following table reflects property-level financial information as of and for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. The "Same Property" data
represents information regarding the operation of communities owned as of
January 1, 1998 and March 31, 1999. Site, occupancy, and rent data for those
communities is presented as of the last day of each period presented. The table
includes sites where the Company is providing financing and managing the
properties. Such amounts relate to the total portfolio data and include 923

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION CONTINUED
On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $1.3 million from $20.4
million to $21.7 million, or 6.5 percent, due primarily to increases in rents
and occupancy related charges including water and property tax pass throughs.
Also contributing to revenue growth was the increase of 588 leased sites at
March 31, 1999 compared to March 31, 1998.
Property operating expenses increased by $0.1 million from $5.4 million to $5.5
million or 2.8 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs. Property EBITDA
increased by $1.2 million from $15.0 million to $16.2 million, or 7.8 percent.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $7.6 million to $2.1 million at March 31,
1999 compared to $9.7 million at December 31, 1998 primarily because cash used
in investing activities exceeded cash provided by operating and financing
activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $3.3 million to $15.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $19.2 million for
the same period in 1998. This decrease was due to other assets increasing by
$3.2 million and accounts payable and other liabilities decreasing by $2.0
million offset by a $1.9 million increase in income before minority interests,
depreciation and amortization and other.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $2.5 million to $37.0 million
from $39.5 million primarily due to a decrease of $24.5 million in rental
property acquisition activities offset by an increase of $17.1 million used to
finance investments in and advances to affiliates and notes receivable and a
decrease in proceeds of $4.9 million related to asset sales.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $15.4 million to $13.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $28.9 million for
the same period in 1998. $13.4 million of this decrease was due to reduced
borrowings on the line of credit and increased repayments on notes payable and
other debt.
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 debt securities, or
general or limited partnership interests. 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 can also meet these short-term and long-term
requirements by utilizing its $100 million line of credit which bears interest
at LIBOR plus .90% and is due November 1, 1999.

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CONTINUED
At March 31, 1999, the Company's debt to total market capitalization
approximated 37.0% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units to
shares of common stock), with a weighted average maturity of approximately 5.5
years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.0%.
Recurring capital expenditures approximated $1.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, including $0.2 million for additional space and related
costs at corporate headquarters.
OTHER
Year 2000 Update
The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue concerns the inability of computerized information
systems and non-information systems to accurately calculate, store or use a date
after 1999. This could result in computer system failures or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations.
In 1997, the Company implemented a corporate-wide Y2K program to minimize any
such disruption caused by the failures of its own internal systems or those of
its business supply chain. In the first phase of the project, the Company
reviewed its inventory of computer hardware and software, and other devices with
embedded microprocessors. The Company also discussed its software applications
and internal operational programs with its current information systems' vendors.
Finally, in this assessment phase, key members of the business supply chain were
contacted and interviewed regarding their awareness of the Y2K problem and the
status of their own Y2K project. The first phase was completed on schedule and
all key members of the Company's business supply chain reported that they were
aware of the Y2K problem and were in the process of readying for the Y2K issue.
In the second phase of the project, all systems found to be Y2K non-compliant
were upgraded, fixed, replaced and tested. The second phase was also completed
on schedule in December 1998. The Company believes that as a result of this
Implementation/Testing phase, its applications and programs will properly
recognize calendar dates beginning in the year 2000. The Company plans to
continue monitoring Y2K communications from its software vendors and anticipates
that some vendors will recommend further patches/upgrades and testing.
In the third and final phase of the Y2K program, the Company surveyed its
material third-party service providers, such as its banks, payroll processor,
stock transfer agent and telecommunications provider. The purpose of the survey
is to follow-up on the status of their Y2K compliance efforts and assess what
effect their possible non-compliance might have on the Company. In addition, the
Company discussed with its material vendors the possibility of any interface
difficulties and/or electrical or mechanical problems relating to the Y2K which
may affect properties owned or operated by the Company. The third phase was
completed on schedule in April 1999.

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OTHER CONTINUED:
Year 2000 Update, Continued
While all surveyed vendors reported that they were aware of the Y2K issue and
were scheduled to have all systems remedied before December 31, 1999, most
vendors were reluctant to guarantee that their Y2K issues would not adversely
affect the operations of the Company. The Company therefore is developing
contingency plans for all key members of its business supply chain.
The Company believes that its expenditures for assessing its Y2K issues, though
difficult to quantify, to date have not been material because the Company's Y2K
evaluation has been conducted by its own personnel or by its vendors in
connection with their servicing operations. The Company received a third-party
assessment of its Y2K program methodology and will address the recommendations
that are deemed appropriate by the Company by June 30, 1999. The Company is not
aware of any other Y2K related conditions that it believes would likely require
material expenditures in the future.
Based on its current information, the Company believes that the risk posed by
any foreseeable Y2K related problem with its internal systems and the systems at
its properties (including both information and non-information systems) or with
its vendors is minimal. Y2K related problems with the Company's software
applications and internal operational programs or with the electrical or
mechanical systems at its properties are unlikely to cause more than minor
disruptions in the Company's operations. The Company believes that the risk
posed by Y2K related problems for certain third-party service providers is
marginally greater, though, based on its current information, the Company does
not believe any such problems would have a material effect on its operations.
Any Y2K related problems at these third-party service providers could delay the
processing of financial transactions or payroll and could disrupt the Company's
internal and external communications.
While the Company believes that it will be Y2K capable by December 31, 1999,
there can be no assurance that the Company has been or will be successful in
identifying and assessing Y2K issues, or that, to the extent identified, the
