RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 For the six months ended June 30, 1998, income before minority interests increased by 21.5 percent from $13.9 million to $16.9 million, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was due to increased revenues of $13.6 million while expenses increased by $10.6 million. Income from property increased by $11.4 million from $45.5 million to $56.9 million or 25.1 percent, due to acquisitions ($8.3 million), lease up of manufactured home sites ($1.0 million) and increases in rents and other community revenues ($2.1 million). Other income increased by $2.1 million from $1.2 million to $3.3 million. $.9 million of the increase was due to a gain from the repayment of the Company's shared appreciation mortgages, $.7 million of the increase relates to the improved results of SHS, including brokerage commissions and the remaining $.5 million of the increase relates to interest income. Property operating and maintenance increased by $2.3 million from $10.2 million to $12.5 million or 23.1 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($1.8 million). Real estate taxes increased by $.6 million from $3.8 million to $4.4 million or 17.1 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($.5 million). General and administrative expenses increased by $.5 million from $2.2 million to $2.7 million or 23.4 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 4.8 percent. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") increased by $10.0 million from $30.5 million to $40.5 million or 32.9 percent. Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.2 million from $9.8 million to $12.0 million or 22.8 percent due primarily to acquisitions. Interest expense increased by $4.8 million from $6.8 million to $11.6 million or 71.1 percent primarily due to increased average debt outstanding. 9 10 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 For the three months ended June 30, 1998, income before minority interests increased by 15.8 percent from $6.9 million to $8.0 million, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was due to increased revenues of $6.6 million while expenses increased by $5.5 million. Income from property increased by $5.8 million from $22.5 million to $28.3 million or 25.9 percent, due to acquisitions ($4.3 million), lease up of manufactured home sites ($.5 million) and increases in rents and other community revenues ($1.0 million). Other income increased by $.8 million from $.7 million to $1.5 million. $.4 million of the increase in other income relates to the improved results of SHS, including brokerage commissions and the remaining $.4 million of the increase relates to interest income. Property operating and maintenance increased by $1.1 million from $5.0 million to $6.1 million or 21.4 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($.9 million). Real estate taxes increased by $.3 million from $1.9 million to $2.2 million or 17.9 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($.2 million).

Interest expense increased by $2.7 million from $3.4 million to $6.1 million or 80.4 percent primarily due to increased average 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The "Same Property" data represents information regarding the operation of communities owned as of January 1, 1997. 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 mortgage notes or where the Company is providing financing and managing the properties. Such amounts relate to the total portfolio data and include 923 and 2,070 sites in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
SAME PROPERTY TOTAL PORTFOLIO ------------- --------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- Income from property $38,511 $35,802 $56,886 $45,455 ------- ------- ------- ------- Property operating expenses: Property operating and maintenance 7,004 6,796 12,551 10,197 Real estate taxes 3,360 3,121 4,380 3,740 ------- ------- ------- ------- Property operating expenses 10,364 9,917 16,931 13,937 ------- ------- ------- ------- Property EBITDA $28,147 $25,885 $39,955 $31,518 ======= ======= ======= ======= Number of properties 74 74 104 86 Developed sites 24,829 24,386 36,800 31,500 Occupied sites 23,835 23,074 33,600 29,200 Occupancy % 96.0%(1) 94.6%(1) 96.1%(1) 94.5%(1) Weighted average monthly rent per site $ 264 (1) $252 (1) $ 266 (1)$ 255 (1) Sites available for development 2,300 2,565 5,554 3,312 Sites in development 678 601 1,512 736
(1) Occupancy % and weighted average rent relates to manufactured housing sites, excluding recreational vehicle sites. On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $2.7 million from $35.8 million to $38.5 million, or 7.6 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 761 leased sites at June 30, 1998 compared to June 30, 1997. Property operating expenses increased by $.5 million from $9.9 million to $10.4 million or 4.5 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs and increases in assessments and millage rates by local taxing authorities. Property EBITDA increased by $2.3 million from $25.9 million to $28.2 million, or 8.7 percent. Sites available for development in the total portfolio increased by 2,242 from 3,312 to 5,554 primarily in conjunction with land acquisitions for new communities to be developed in Arizona, Michigan, Texas and Nevada. 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 $.3 million to $1.9 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 1997 primarily because cash used in investing activities exceeded cash provided by operating and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $10.3 million to $32.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $21.8 million for the same period in 1997. Changes in working capital increased by $5.8 million and income before minority interests, depreciation and amortization and gain related to mortgage notes receivable increased by $4.5 million. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $35.5 million to $65.3 million from $29.8 million primarily due to $36.7 million related to acquisition activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $32.7 million to $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $.1 million for the same period in 1997. $49.8 million of this increase was due to additional net debt borrowings and deferred financing costs offset by a $15.3 million reduction in the proceeds received from stock options and dividend reinvestment plan. 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 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. In May 1998, the Company issued $65 million of senior notes which bear interest at 6.77%, mature May 14, 2015, and are callable/redeemable May 16, 2005. Proceeds from this debt issuance were used to repay line of credit borrowings. At June 30, 1998, the Company's debt to total market capitalization approximated 33.3% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units to shares of common stock), with a weighted average maturity of approximately 8.0 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.2%. Recurring capital expenditures approximated $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, including $.2 million for additional space and related costs at corporate headquarters. 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 June 30, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands):
