8 9 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. 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. Capitalized terms are used as defined elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net income before extraordinary item and minority interests increased by 35.9 percent from $15.4 million to $20.9 million, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was due to increased revenues of $19.3 million while expenses increased by $13.8 million. Income from property increased by $18.5 million from $50.1 million to $68.6 million or 36.9 percent, due to acquisitions ($15.4 million), lease up of sites ($1.1 million) and increases in rents and other community revenues ($2.0 million). Interest and other income increased by $.8 million from $1.3 million to $2.1 million or 59.3 percent due primarily to improved results at SHS and the inception of operations at Bingham Financial Services Corporation. Property operating and maintenance increased by $4.4 million from $11.2 million to $15.6 million or 39.4 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($3.6 million). Real estate taxes increased by $1.6 million from $4.0 million to $5.6 million or 39.9 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($1.4 million). General and administrative expenses increased by $.9 million from $2.4 million to $3.3 million or 37.6 percent due primarily to increased staffing to manage the growth of the company. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues remained constant at 4.7 percent. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") increased by $12.3 million from $33.9 million to $46.2 million or 36.6 percent. EBITDA declined slightly as a percentage of revenues from 65.8 percent to 65.4 percent. Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.4 million from $10.5 million to $14.9 million or 41.8 percent due primarily to acquisitions. Interest expense increased by $2.5 million from $7.9 million to $10.4 million or 30.9 percent primarily due to increased average debt outstanding. The extraordinary item in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 results from the early extinguishment of debt and includes prepayment penalties and related deferred financing costs. 9 10 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ________ Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 Income from property increased by $2.9 million from $20.3 million to $23.2 million or 14.3 percent, due to acquisitions ($1.7 million), lease up of sites ($.4 million) and increases in rents and other community revenues ($.8 million). Interest and other income increased by $.3 million from $.6 million to $.9 million or 61.2 percent due primarily to improved results at SHS and the inception of operations at Bingham Financial Services Corporation. Property operating and maintenance increased by $.7 million from $4.7 million to $5.4 million or 14.9 percent, due primarily to acquisitions ($.5 million). Real estate taxes increased by $.1 million from $1.7 million to $1.8 million or 6.8 percent due to acquisitions. General and administrative expenses increased by $.2 million from $.9 million to $1.1 million or 26.5 percent, due primarily to increased staffing to manage the growth of the company. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 4.2 percent to 4.6 percent. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") increased by $2.2 million from $13.5 million to $15.7 million or 16.3 percent. EBITDA increased as a percentage of revenues from 64.9 percent to 65.3 percent. Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.1 million from $4.0 million to $5.1 million or 28.1 percent due primarily to acquisitions. Interest expense increased by $.4 million from $3.2 million to $3.6 million or 11.0 percent due to increased debt outstanding. 10 11 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ________ SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION The following table reflects property-level financial information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The "Same Property" data represents information regarding the operation of communities owned as of January 1, 1996. 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's interest is in the form of shared appreciation notes or where the Company is providing financing and managing the properties. Such amounts relate to 1,243 sites in 1996 and 2,040 sites in 1997 and were formerly classified in other income.

(1) Occupancy % and weighted average rent relates to manufactured housing sites, excluding recreational vehicle sites. On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $2.3 million from $35.6 million to $37.9 million, or 6.4 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 530 leased sites at September 30, 1997 compared to September 30, 1996. Property operating expenses increased by $.6 million from $9.9 million to $10.5 million, or 5.9 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs and increases in assessments and millage rates by local taxing authorities. Property EBITDA increased by $1.7 million from $25.7 million to $27.4 million, or 6.6 percent. 11 12 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ________ LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $7.5 million to $1.7 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 1996 because cash used in investing activities exceeded cash provided by operating activities and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $6.6 million to $34.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $27.9 million for the same period in 1996. Net income before depreciation and amortization, minority interests and extraordinary item increased by $14.6 million which was offset by $8.0 million due to changes in other assets and liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $3.9 million to $71.5 million from $67.6 million due to reduced investments in rental properties more than offset by increased investments in affiliates and mortgage and officer notes. Net cash provided by financing activities was $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 primarily due to $27.6 million of proceeds received from debt borrowings, net of financing costs, and the proceeds from the sale of common stock pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan exceeding the distributions paid to Common OP Unit holders. For the same period in 1996, net cash provided by financing activities was $49.3 million due to proceeds received from the sale of stock and debt offset by debt repayments. The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital provided by operating activities and proceeds from the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Company considers these sources to be adequate and anticipates they will continue to be adequate to meet operating requirements, capital improvements, investment in site development, and payment of distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and long term. 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 Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership. The Company can also meet these requirements by utilizing its $75 million line of credit which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% and is due November 1, 1999. At September 30, 1997, the Company's debt to total market capitalization approximated 23% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units to shares of common stock), with a weighted average maturity of approximately 5.9 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.4%. Recurring capital expenditures approximated $3.8 million, including $.4 million for corporate office expansion, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. 12 13 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 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 debt restructuring and sales of property, plus 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 the periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:

                     COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO
                    FIXED CHARGES AND RATIO OF EARNINGS TO
                     COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED
                                  DIVIDENDS

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the Company (including its
predecessor-in-interest, Sundance Enterprises, Inc., the partnerships
affiliated with Sundance Enterprises, Inc., and the Company's subsidiaries and
majority-owned partnerships) presents the relationship of the Company's
earnings to its fixed charges.  "Earnings" as used in the computation, is based
on net income (loss) from continuing operations (which includes a charge to
income for depreciation and amortization expense) before income taxes, plus
fixed charges.  "Fixed charges" is comprised of (i) interest charges, whether
expensed or capitalized, and (ii) amortization of loan costs and discounts or
premiums relating to indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and
