10 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 the notes thereto. Capitalized terms are used as defined elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 For the six months ended June 30, 1999, income before minority interests and other, net increased by 10.6 percent from $16.0 million to $17.7 million, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase was due to increased revenues of $6.3 million while expenses increased by $4.6 million. Income from property increased by $5.0 million from $56.9 million to $61.9 million or 8.9 percent, due to acquisitions ($2.2 million), lease up of manufactured home sites including new development ($1.1 million) and increases in rents and other community revenues ($1.7 million). Other income increased by $1.2 million from $2.4 million to $3.6 million due primarily to a $1.1 million increase in interest income. Property operating and maintenance increased by $0.7 million from $12.6 million to $13.3 million or 5.9 percent due primarily to acquisitions ($0.6 million). Real estate taxes remained constant at $4.4 million during 1999 and 1998. Property management expenses increased by $0.3 million from $1.0 million to $1.3 million representing 2.0 percent and 1.8 percent of income from property in 1999 and 1998, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million from $1.7 million to $1.9 million or 9.7 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 3.0 percent in both periods. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") increased by $5.1 million from $39.6 million to $44.7 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 68.2 percent in 1999 compared to 66.8 percent in 1998. Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.0 million from $12.0 million to $14.0 million or 16.7 percent due primarily to acquisitions of communities in 1999 and 1998. 10

11 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED Interest expense increased by $1.4 million from $11.6 million to $13.0 million or 11.9 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. Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 For the three months ended June 30, 1999, income before minority interests increased by 9.5 percent from $8.0 million to $8.7 million, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase was due to increased revenues of $2.8 million while expenses increased by $2.1 million. Income from property increased by $2.3 million from $28.3 million to $30.6 million or 8.1 percent, due to acquisitions ($0.7 million), lease up of manufactured home sites including new development ($0.5 million) and increases in rents and other community revenues ($1.1 million). Other income increased by $0.5 million from $1.6 million to $2.1 million due primarily to a $0.4 million increase in interest income. Property operating and maintenance increased by $0.3 million from $6.1 million to $6.4 million or 5.0 percent due to acquisitions. 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 2.1 percent and 1.9 percent of income from property in 1999 and 1998, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million from $0.9 million to $1.0 million or 10.7 percent due primarily to increased staffing to manage the growth of the company. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of income from property increased slightly from 3.0 percent in 1998 to 3.1 percent in 1999. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") increased by $2.3 million from $20.1 million to $22.4 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 68.6 percent in 1999 compared to 67.3 percent in 1998. Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.1 million from $6.0 million to $7.1 million or 17.6 percent due primarily to acquisitions of communities in 1999 and 1998. Interest expense increased by $0.5 million from $6.0 million to $6.5 million or 7.9 percent primarily due to increased average debt outstanding. 11

12 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, 1999 and 1998. The "Same Property" data represents information regarding the operation of communities owned as of January 1, 1998 and June 30, 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 sites in 1999 and 1998. SAME PROPERTY TOTAL PORTFOLIO ------------------------- ------------------------ 1999 1998 1999 1998 ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Income from property $43,586 $40,974 $61,941 $56,886 -------- ------- ------- ------- Property operating expenses: Property operating and maintenance 7,763 7,477 13,289 12,551 Real estate taxes 3,358 3,466 4,411 4,380 ------- ------- ------- ------- Property operating expenses 11,121 10,943 17,700 16,931 ------- ------- ------- ------ Property EBITDA $32,465 $30,031 $44,241 $39,955 ======= ======= ======= ======= Number of properties 79 79 108 104 Developed sites 27,385 26,585 38,500 36,800 Occupied sites 26,059 25,570 35,600 33,600 Occupancy % 95.2%(1) 96.2%(1) 94.7%(1) 96.1%(1) Weighted average monthly rent per site $ 273 $ 262 (1) $ 274 (1) $ 266 (1) Sites available for development 1,303 2,423 7,763 5,554 Sites planned for development in current year 185 931 2,343 1,512 (1) Occupancy % and weighted average rent relates to manufactured housing sites, excluding recreational vehicle sites. On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $2.6 million from $41.0 million to $43.6 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 489 leased sites at June 30, 1999 compared to June 30, 1998. Property operating expenses increased by $0.2 million from $10.9 million to $11.1 million or 1.6 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs. Property EBITDA increased by $2.4 million from $30.0 million to $32.4 million, or 8.1 percent. 12

13 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 $6.4 million to $3.2 million at June 30, 1999 compared to $9.6 million at December 31, 1998 because cash used in investing activities exceeded cash provided by operating and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $6.8 million to $25.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $32.1 million for the same period in 1998. This decrease was due to accounts payable and other liabilities, including distributions, decreasing by $8.0 million and other assets decreasing by $2.6 million offset by a $3.7 million increase in income before minority interests, depreciation and amortization and other. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $16.0 million to $49.3 million from $65.3 million due to a $25.7 million decrease in rental property acquisition activities offset by an increase of $6.1 million used to finance notes receivable and a decrease in proceeds of $4.7 million related to asset sales. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $15.2 million to $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $32.8 million for the same period in 1998. This decrease was primarily because $62.5 million of notes payable, net of deferred financing costs, were issued in 1998 and none issued in 1999, offset by increased borrowings on the line of credit of $50.0 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 can also meet these short-term and long-term requirements by utilizing its $125 million line of credit which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.05%. At June 30, 1999, the Company's debt to total market capitalization approximated 35% (assuming conversion of all Common and Preferred OP Units to shares of common stock), with a weighted average maturity of approximately 5.6 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.0%. Recurring capital expenditures approximated $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, including $0.4 million for additional space and related costs at corporate headquarters. 13

14 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, 1999 and 1998 (in thousands): For the Three Months For the Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 --------- ---------- ------- ---------- Income before allocation to minority interest $ 8,727 $ 7,968 $ 17,665 $ 16,904 Add depreciation and amortization, net of corporate office depreciation 7,075 6,024 13,897 11,922 Deduct distribution to Preferred OP Units (626) (626) (1,252) (1,252) Deduct gain from mortgage notes receivable -- -- -- (937) --------- ---------- ----------- ---------- Funds from operations $ 15,176 $ 13,366 $ 30,310 $ 26,637 ========= ========== =========== ========== Weighted average OP Units outstanding used for basic FFO per share/unit 19,964 19,051 19,950 19,034 Dilutive securities: Stock options and awards 193 171 155 182 Convertible preferred OP Units 1,183 1,227 1,230 1,212 --------- ---------- ----------- ---------- Weighted average OP Units used for diluted FFO per share/unit 21,340 20,449 21,335 20,428 ========= ========== =========== ========== FFO, per share/unit: Basic $ 0.76 $ 0.70 $ 1.52 $ 1.40 ========= ========== =========== ========== Diluted $ 0.74 $ 0.68 $ 1.48 $ 1.36 ========= ========== =========== ========== 14

15 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OTHER CONTINUED: 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. 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 has therefore developed contingency plans for all important business functions dependent on 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 has addressed the recommendations that were deemed appropriate by the Company. The Company is not aware of any other Y2K related conditions that it believes would likely require material expenditures in the future. 15

16 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OTHER CONTINUED: Year 2000 Update, Continued 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 Company's efforts to resolve such issues will be effective such that Y2K issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operation.
