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 nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, income before gain from property dispositions, net and minority interests increased by 7.3 percent from $31.0 million to $33.3 million, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase was due to increased revenues of $6.4 million while expenses increased by $4.1 million. Income from property increased by $4.5 million from $99.2 million to $103.7 million, or 4.5 percent, due to rent increases and other community revenues ($4.6 million) and acquisitions ($3.2 million), offset by a revenue reduction of $3.3 million due to property dispositions. Other income increased by $1.9 million from $9.9 million to $11.8 million due primarily to an increase in interest income. Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.6 million from $21.4 million to $22.0 million, or 2.9 percent, representing general cost increases ($1.0 million) and acquisitions ($0.5 million) offset by an expense reduction of $0.9 million due to property dispositions. Real estate taxes increased by $0.1 million from $6.8 million to $6.9 million. Property management expenses decreased by $0.1 million from $2.2 million to $2.1 million representing 2.0 percent and 2.2 percent of income from property in 2001 and 2000, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million from $3.0 million to $3.5 million, representing 3.0 percent and 2.7 percent of total revenues in 2001 and 2000, respectively. 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 $5.3 million from $75.7 million to $81.0 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 70.1 percent in 2001 compared to 69.4 percent in 2000. Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.2 million from $23.0 million to $24.2 million, or 5.1 percent, due primarily to the net additional investment in rental properties. Interest expense increased by $1.8 million from $21.7 million to $23.5 million, or 8.5 percent, due primarily to financing additional investments in rental property offset by decreasing rates on variable rate debt. 10

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------ RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 For the three months ended September 30, 2001, income before gain from property dispositions, net and minority interests increased by 9.3 percent from $10.2 million to $11.1 million, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase was due to increased revenues of $1.3 million while expenses increased by $0.4 million. Income from property increased by $1.4 million from $33.1 million to $34.5 million, or 4.1 percent, due to rent increases and other community revenues ($1.5 million) and acquisitions ($1.0 million), offset by a revenue reduction of $1.1 million due to property dispositions. Other income remained constant at approximately $3.8 million. Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.1 million from $7.5 million to $7.6 million, or 1.4 percent, representing general cost increases ($0.2 million) and property acquisitions ($0.2 million), offset by an expense reduction of $0.3 million due to property dispositions. Real estate taxes remained constant at $2.3 million for both periods. Property management expenses decreased by $0.1 million from $0.7 million to $0.6 million representing 1.9 percent and 2.2 percent of income from property in 2001 and 2000, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million from $0.9 million to $1.2 million, representing 3.1 percent and 2.5 percent of total revenues in 2001 and 2000, respectively. EBITDA, increased by $1.0 million from $25.5 million to $26.5 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 69.3 percent in 2001 compared to 69.0 percent in 2000. Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.3 million from $7.9 million to $8.2 million, or 4.2 percent, due primarily to the net additional investment in rental properties. Interest expense decreased by $0.3 million from $7.5 million to $7.2 million, or 3.6 percent, due primarily to decreasing rates on variable rate debt. 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, 2001 and 2000. The "Same Property" data represents information regarding the operation of communities owned as of January 1, 2000 and September 30, 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. Same Property Total Portfolio ------------------------- ---------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- Income from property $ 78,730 $ 74,566 $103,727 $ 99,217 -------- -------- -------- -------- Property operating expenses: Property operating and maintenance 13,951 13,720 21,996 21,379 Real estate taxes 5,854 5,580 6,918 6,818 -------- -------- -------- -------- Property operating expenses 19,805 19,300 28,914 28,197 -------- -------- -------- -------- Property EBITDA $ 58,925 $ 55,266 $ 74,813 $ 71,020 ======== ======== ======== ======== Number of operating properties 90 90 114 113 Developed sites 30,225 30,190 39,334 39,340 Occupied sites 28,546 28,746 36,085 36,546 Occupancy % 94.4% 95.2% 93.7%(1) 95.0%(1) Weighted average monthly rent per site $ 302 $ 288 $ 299(1) $ 287(1) Sites available for development 2,545 1,952 4,674 5,481 Sites planned for development in current year 157 37 265 522 (1) Occupancy % and weighted average rent relates to manufactured housing sites, excluding recreational vehicle sites. On a same property basis, property EBITDA increased by $3.6 million from $55.3 million to $58.9 million, or 6.6 percent. Property revenues increased by $4.2 million from $74.5 million to $78.7 million, or 5.6 percent, due primarily to increases in rents and occupancy related charges including water and property tax pass through. Property operating expenses increased by $0.5 million from $19.3 million to $19.8 million or 2.6 percent, due to increased occupancies and costs. 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 $14.5 million to $3.9 million at September 30, 2001 from $18.4 million at December 31, 2000 because cash used for financing and investing activities exceeded cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $7.9 million to $55.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $47.5 million for the same period in 2000. This increase was primarily due to a $6.2 million change in other assets and a $3.3 million increase in income before minority interests, depreciation and amortization and gain from property dispositions, net, offset by a $1.6 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $24.1 million to $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $56.5 million for the same period in 2000. This decrease was primarily due to a $24.0 million decrease in investments in notes receivable, net, and proceeds related to property dispositions of $9.6 million, offset by $6.5 million related to investments in and advances to affiliates and a $3.0 million increase in rental property acquisition activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $37.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $18.7 million provided by financing activities during the same period in 2000. This change was primarily because of a $100.0 million reduction in proceeds from notes payable, $74.4 million in additional repayments on notes payable and other debt, treasury stock and operating partnership unit purchases increasing by $5.7 million, distributions increasing by $1.2 million, offset by $124 million in additional line of credit borrowings and a $1.1 million reduction in deferred financing costs. 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 may also meet these short-term and long-term requirements by utilizing its $125 million line of credit which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and is due January 1, 2003. At September 30, 2001, the Company's debt to total market capitalization approximated 36.6% (assuming conversion of all Common OP Units to shares of common stock and including Preferred OP Units). The debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 5.5 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.0%. Recurring capital expenditures approximated $3.7 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 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 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 for both basic and diluted purposes for the periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 (in thousands): For the Three Months For the Nine Months Ended September 30, Ended September 30, 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- Net income $ 7,877 $ 11,117 $ 27,301 $ 25,779 Deduct gain from property dispositions, net -- (4,619) (4,275) (4,619) Add: Minority interest in earnings to common OP Unit holders 1,215 1,725 4,198 4,018 Depreciation and amortization, net of corporate office depreciation 8,097 7,766 24,017 22,860 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- Funds from operations $ 17,189 $ 15,989 $ 51,241 $ 48,038 ============ =========== =========== =========== Weighted average common shares and OP Units outstanding used for basic per share/unit data 19,863 19,998 19,935 20,001 Dilutive securities: Stock options and awards 306 92 243 91 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- Weighted average common shares and OP Units used for diluted per share/unit data 20,169 20,090 20,178 20,092 ============ =========== =========== =========== 14

Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) changes in the general economic climate; (ii) increased competition in the geographic areas in which the Company owns and operates manufactured housing communities; (iii) changes in government laws and regulations affecting manufactured housing communities; and (iv) the ability of the Company to continue to identify, negotiate and acquire manufactured housing communities and/or vacant land which may be developed into manufactured housing communities on terms favorable to the Company. 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 FASB issued 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 generally are to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements. 15

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Continued In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") approved Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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. In June 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. The Company adopted SFAS 133 as amended by SFAS 137 and 138 effective January 1, 2001. There was no effect from the application of SFAS 133 on the earnings and financial position of the Company as the Company had no derivative instruments at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. 16
