5.	Debt, continued:

The Company has an unsecured revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing capacity of $115 million bearing interest at LIBOR + 1.65% (6.99% at June 30, 2007). The outstanding balance on the line of credit at June 30, 2007, was $55.6 million. In addition, $3.4 million of availability was used to back standby letters of credit leaving a maximum of $56.0 million available to be drawn under the facility.

In March of 2006, SHS closed on a $40.0 million floor plan facility that allows for draws on new and pre-owned home purchases and on the Company’s portfolio of rental homes. At June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance was $0.5 million.

In January of 2007, the Company completed financings of $17.5 million and $20.0 million at interest rates of 5.842 percent and 5.825 percent, respectively. The loans are secured by two properties and have interest only payments for a term of 10 years. The proceeds from both financings were used to pay down the Company’s revolving line of credit.

In February of 2007, the Company redeemed $4.5 million of Preferred OP units.

During the quarter the Company extended $15.8 million of debt with an original maturity date of April 1, 2007. The transaction extended the maturity date of the debt until April 1, 2012, and reduced the spread over LIBOR by 0.25 percent. As part of the transaction the Company paid down the principal balance of the debt by $1.0 million.

At June 30, 2007, the total of maturities and amortization of debt during the next five years, are approximately as follows: 2008 – $11.5 million; 2009 - $29.9 million; 2010 - $21.5 million, 2011 - $18.1 million; 2012 - $130.1 million and $894.2 million thereafter.

The most restrictive of these debt agreements place limitations on secured and unsecured borrowings and contain minimum debt service coverage, leverage, distribution and net worth requirements. At June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

6.	Share-Based Compensation:

During the quarter the Company issued 10,500 director options under its 2004 Non-Employee Director Option Plan.

⁽¹⁾ Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize net operating income (“NOI”) as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is derived from revenues (determined in accordance with GAAP) minus property operating expenses and real estate taxes (determined in accordance with GAAP). NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to net operating income. Net income includes interest and depreciation and amortization which often have no effect on the market value of a property and therefore limit its use as a performance measure. In addition, such expenses are often incurred at a parent company level and therefore are not necessarily linked to the performance of a real estate asset. The Company believes that net operating income is helpful to investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. The Company uses NOI as a key management tool when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties and/or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs, and therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of the properties of the Company rather than of the Company overall.

⁽²⁾Seasonal recreational vehicle revenue is included in Property Operations revenues and is approximately $5.3 million annually. This seasonal revenue is recognized approximately 53% in the first quarter, 7% in both the second and third quarters and 33% in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

9.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:

The Company has entered into four derivative contracts consisting of three interest rate swap agreements and an interest rate cap agreement. The Company’s primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company generally employs derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to cap the maximum interest rate on its variable rate borrowings. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

The swap agreements were effective April 2003, and have the effect of fixing interest rates relative to a collateralized term loan due to Fannie Mae. One swap matures in July 2009, with an effective fixed rate of 4.84 percent. A second swap matures in July 2012, with an effective fixed rate of 5.28 percent. The third swap matures in July 2007, with an effective fixed rate of 3.88 percent. The third swap is effective as long as 90-day LIBOR is 7 percent or lower. The three swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million. The interest rate cap agreement has a cap rate of 9.99 percent, a notional amount of $152.4 million and a termination date of April 28, 2009. Each of the Company’s derivative contracts is based upon 90-day LIBOR. Subsequent to quarter end, one of the interest rate swaps matured and was not replaced.

The Company has designated the first two swaps and the interest rate cap as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The changes in the value of these hedges are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet. These three hedges were highly effective and had minimal effect on income. The third swap does not qualify as a hedge for accounting purposes and, accordingly, the entire change in valuation, whether positive or negative, is reflected as a component of interest expense. The valuation adjustment decreased interest expense by $0.2 million and $0.02 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The valuation adjustment decreased interest expense by $0.3 million and increased interest expense by $0.02 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet, the Company has recorded an asset of $1.2 million and $0.6 million as of June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.

These valuation adjustments will only be realized if the Company terminates the swaps prior to maturity. This is not the intent of the Company and, therefore, the net of valuation adjustments through the various maturity dates will approximate zero.

10.

Income Taxes:

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at the corporate level on the ordinary taxable income it distributes to its stockholders as dividends. SHS, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary, is subject to U.S. federal income taxes.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). The Company previously had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. As required by FIN 48, which clarifies FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied FIN 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not recognize any increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which would have been accounted for as a decrease to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. At January 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. There have been no material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits during the first half of 2007, nor are any expected within the next six months.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, State and Local, examinations by tax authorities before 2002. Neither the IRS nor any state or local tax jurisdictions have commenced examinations of any income tax returns.

The Company’s policy is to report penalties and tax-related interest expense as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption, no interest or penalty associated with any unrecognized tax benefit was accrued, nor was any interest or penalty recognized during the quarter.

Commitments and Contingencies:

On April 9, 2003, T.J. Holdings, LLC (“TJ Holdings”), a member of Sun/Forest, LLC (“Sun/Forest”) (which, in turn, owns an equity interest in SunChamp LLC), (“SunChamp”), filed a complaint against the Company, SunChamp, certain other affiliates of the Company and two directors of Sun Communities, Inc. in the Superior Court of Guilford County, North Carolina. The complaint alleges that the defendants wrongfully deprived the plaintiff of economic opportunities that they took for themselves in contravention of duties allegedly owed to the plaintiff and purports to claim damages of $13.0 million plus an unspecified amount for punitive damages. The Company believes the complaint and the claims threatened therein have no merit and will defend it vigorously. These proceedings were stayed by the Superior Court of Guilford County, North Carolina in 2004 pending final determination by the Circuit Court of Oakland County, Michigan as to whether the dispute should be submitted to arbitration and the conclusion of all appeals therefrom. On March 13, 2007, the Michigan Court of Appeals issued an order compelling arbitration of all claims brought in the North Carolina case. TJ Holdings has filed an application for review in the Michigan Supreme Court which has been denied.

As announced on February 27, 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) completed its inquiry regarding the Company’s accounting for its SunChamp investment during 2000, 2001 and 2002, and the Company and the SEC entered into an agreed-upon Administrative Order (the “Order”). The Order required that the Company cease and desist from violations of certain non intent-based provisions of the federal securities laws, without admitting or denying any such violations.

On February 27, 2006, the SEC filed a civil action against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and a former controller in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan alleging various claims generally consistent with the SEC’s findings set forth in the Order. This action is currently in the discovery stage. The Company continues to indemnify such employees for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such civil action.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. All such proceedings, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to US GAAP guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). This statement permits, but does not require, entities to measure certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Unrealized gains and loses on items for which the fair value option has been elected should be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe SFAS 159 will have a material impact on its results from operations or financial position.

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company had identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved, could result in material changes to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions. Details regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies are described fully in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies that impacted the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, loss from operations increased by $(0.5) million from a loss of $(1.9) million to a loss of $(2.4) million, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increased loss was due to decreased revenues of $(0.9) million, offset by decreased expenses of $0.2 million and increased equity income from affiliate of $0.2 million as described in more detail below.

Income from real property increased by $0.8 million from $45.6 million to $46.4 million, or 1.8 percent, primarily due to rent increases.

Revenue from home sales decreased by $1.1 million from $7.3 million to $6.2 million, or 15.1 percent. The Company sold 201 manufactured homes during the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to 160 sales during the same period in 2006. New homes sales in the Florida market declined and consumer demand continued to shift to pre-owned homes, resulting in a decrease in average sales price of 32.3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease in average sales price was partially offset by additional revenue resulting from the increase in the number of homes sold.

Rental home revenue increased by $0.8 million from $3.6 million to $4.4 million, or 22.2 percent. The number of tenants in the Company’s rental program increased from 4,600 at June 30, 2006, to 5,026 at June 30, 2007, resulting in additional revenue of approximately $0.5 million. The remainder of the increase resulted from an increase in the average rental rate per home from $665 per month at June 30, 2006, to $708 per month at June 30, 2007.

Ancillary revenues, net increased by approximately $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in commissions from the sale of various insurance policies to residents.

Interest income decreased by $0.1 million from $0.8 million to $0.7 million, or 12.5 percent, due primarily to the payoff of interest earning notes by the borrowers.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued:

Other income decreased by $1.3 million from $1.0 million to a loss of $(0.3) million due to a decrease in proceeds from lawsuit settlement ($0.4 million), an increase in losses on disposition of assets ($0.5 million), decreased brokerage commissions ($0.2 million) and a decrease in other miscellaneous operating income ($0.2 million).

Property operating and maintenance expenses for the second quarter of 2007 remained unchanged as compared to the same period in 2006. An increase in legal fees of $0.1 million was offset by a decrease in repair and maintenance costs.

Real estate taxes increased by $0.2 million due to increases in assessments and tax rates.

Cost of home sales decreased by $1.0 million from $5.8 million to $4.8 million, or 17.2 percent due primarily to the increase in the number of pre-owned homes sold and decrease in the number of new homes sold. The Company sold 201 manufactured homes during the three months ended June 30, 2007, of which only 9 percent were new homes, as compared to 160 sales during the same period in 2006 of which 27 percent were new homes. Gross profit margins increased from 20.4 percent in 2006 to 22.1 percent in 2007.

Rental home operating and maintenance expense increased by $0.7 million from $2.3 million to $3.0 million, or 30.4 percent due primarily to an increase in the number of tenants in the Company’s rental program. Additional information regarding the Company’s rental program is contained in the table below.

General and administrative expenses for real property decreased by $0.5 million, from $4.3 million to $3.8 million, due primarily to a decrease in recognition of expenses related to share-based compensation awards.

General and administrative expenses for home sales and rentals decreased by $0.4 million from $1.7 million to $1.3 million due primarily to decreases in payroll and benefit related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.8 million from $14.8 million to $15.6 million, or 5.4 percent, due primarily to an increase in the total rental home portfolio.

Interest expense, including interest on mandatorily redeemable debt, decreased by $0.1 million from $16.2 million to $16.1 million, or 0.6 percent due to the retirement of preferred operating partnership units.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, loss from operations decreased by $0.8 million to a loss of $(2.4) million, from a loss of $(3.2) million for the same period in 2006. Increased revenues of $4.1 million and increased equity income from affiliate of $0.1 million were partially offset by increased expenses of $3.4 million as described in more detail below.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued:

Income from real property increased by $2.0 million from $93.7 million to $95.7 million, or 2.1 percent, primarily due to rent increases.

Revenues from home sales increased by $1.8 million, from $10.5 million to $12.3 million, or 17.1 percent. The Company sold 386 manufactured homes during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 231 sales during the same period in 2006. The increased demand for pre-owned homes rather than new homes has resulted in a decrease in average sales price of 29.9 percent; however revenue from the increase in the number of homes sold more than offset the decline in sales prices per home.

Rental home revenues increased by $2.0 million from $6.6 million in 2006 to $8.6 million in 2007. The number of tenants in the Company’s rental program increased from 4,600 at June 30, 2006 to 5,026 at June 30, 2007, resulting in additional revenue of approximately $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The remainder of the increase resulted from an increase in the six month average rental rate per home from $665 per month at June 30, 2006 to $708 per month at June 30, 2007.

Ancillary revenues, net increased by approximately $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in commissions from the sale of various insurance policies to residents.

Interest income decreased by $0.2 million from $1.7 million to $1.5 million, or 11.8 percent, due primarily to the payoff of interest earning notes by the borrowers.

Other income decreased by $1.6 million from income of $1.5 million to a loss of $(0.1) million, due to a decrease in brokerage commissions ($0.3 million), an increase in losses associated with disposition of miscellaneous assets ($0.6 million), a decrease in proceeds from lawsuit settlement ($0.4 million) and a decrease in other miscellaneous operating income ($0.3 million).

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.3 million, from $23.1 million to $23.4 million, or 1.3 percent. The increase was due to increases in payroll and benefits ($0.1 million), legal costs ($0.1 million) and property insurance ($0.1 million).

Real estate taxes increased by $0.4 million from $7.8 million to $8.2 million, or 5.1 percent, due to increases in assessments and tax rates.

Cost of home sales increased by $1.6 million from $8.2 million to $9.8 million, or 19.5 percent. The increase was due primarily to the increase in the number of homes sold. The Company sold 386 manufactured homes during the first half of 2007, as compared to 231 sales during the same period in 2006. Gross profit margins decreased from 22.2 percent in 2006 to 21.0 percent in 2007 due to increased sales of pre-owned homes at lower margins.

Rental home operating and maintenance expense increased by $1.4 million from $4.5 million to $5.9 million, or 31.1 percent due primarily to an increase in the number of tenants in the Company’s rental program and the associated costs for refurbishment of rental homes. Additional information regarding the Company’s rental program is contained in the table below.

General and administrative expenses for rental property decreased by $1.2 million from $9.4 million to $8.2 million, or 12.8 percent, due to a decrease in recognition of expenses related to share-based compensation awards ($0.7 million) and a decrease in professional and consulting fees ($0.5 million).

General and administrative expenses for home sales and rentals decreased by $0.3 million from $3.3 million to $3.0 million, or 9.1 percent, due primarily to a decrease in payroll and benefit related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.1 million from $29.8 million to $30.9 million, or 3.7 percent, due primarily to an increase in the total rental home portfolio.

Interest expense, including interest on mandatorily redeemable debt, increased by $0.1 million from $32.1 million to $32.2 million, or 0.3 percent due to an increase in average debt balances.

On a same property basis, real property net operating income increased by $1.4 million from $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, to $65.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, or 2.2 percent. Income from real property increased by $2.0 million from $90.1 million to $92.1 million, or 2.2 percent, due primarily to increases in rents. Property operating expenses increased by $0.6 million from $26.0 million to $26.6 million, or 2.2 percent, due to increases in real estate taxes ($0.4 million), payroll and health benefit costs ($0.1 million), and other ($0.2 million), partially offset by a decrease in utility costs ($0.1 million).

Net operating income from the rental program increased $0.8 million from $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 as a result of a $1.5 million increase in revenue offset by a $0.7 million increase in expenses. Revenues increased due to an increase in the weighted average monthly rental rate and an increase in the number of leased rental homes. Expenses were also impacted by the increase in the number of leased rental homes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the Company’s stockholders and the unitholders of the Operating Partnership, capital improvements of properties, the purchase of new and pre-owned homes, property acquisitions, development and expansion of properties and debt repayment.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through its working capital provided by operating activities and through its $155.0 million lines of credit. The Company considers these resources to be adequate to meet all operating requirements, including recurring capital improvements, routinely amortizing debt and other normally recurring expenditures of a capital nature, pay dividends to its stockholders to maintain qualification as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and make distributions to the Operating Partnership’s unitholders.

The Company continuously seeks acquisition opportunities that meet the Company’s criteria for acquisition. Should such investment opportunities arise in 2007, the Company will finance the acquisitions though the temporary use of its line of credit until permanent secured financing can be arranged, through the assumption of existing debt on the properties or the issuance of certain equity securities.

The Company has also invested approximately $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, in homes primarily intended for its rental program. Expenditures for the remainder of 2007 will be dependent upon the condition of the markets for repossessions and new home sales, as well as the demand for rental homes.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.4 million from $3.2 million at December 31, 2006, to $2.8 million at June 30, 2007. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $2.2 million to $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from $30.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The Company’s net cash flows provided by operating activities may be adversely impacted by, among other things: (a) the market and economic conditions in the Company’s current markets generally, and specifically in metropolitan areas of the Company’s current markets; (b) lower occupancy and rental rates of the Company’s properties (the “Properties”); (c) increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities, that cannot be passed on to the Company’s tenants; and (d) decreased sales of manufactured homes. See “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, continued:

The Company anticipates meeting its long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, large property acquisitions, and Operating Partnership unit redemptions through the collateralization of its properties. From time to time, the Company may also issue shares of its capital stock, issue equity units in the Operating Partnership or sell selected assets. The ability of the Company to finance its long-term liquidity requirements in such manner will be affected by numerous economic factors affecting the manufactured housing community industry at the time, including the availability and cost of mortgage debt, the financial condition of the Company, the operating history of the Properties, the state of the debt and equity markets, and the general national, regional and local economic conditions. See “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. If the Company is unable obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely impacted.

At June 30, 2007, the Company’s debt to total market capitalization approximated 64.7 percent (assuming conversion of all Common Operating Partnership Units to shares of common stock). The debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 6.9 years and a weighted average interest rate of 5.4 percent.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included recurring capital expenditures of $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $(35.3) million cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $35.9 million was due to a $12.7 million decrease in notes receivable and officers’ notes, and decreased investment in rental property of $23.2 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $(29.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $4.0 million of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The difference is primarily due to a $76.2 million increase in net repayments on lines of credit, a decrease in net proceeds from option exercises and the issuance of common stock and Operating Partnership Units, net, of $1.5 million, and increased payments for deferred financing costs of $0.1 million, offset by an increase in net proceeds from notes payable and other debt of $37.6 million, a $3.7 million decrease in payments to retire preferred operating partnership units, and decreased distributions of $3.1 million.

SUPPLEMENTAL MEASURE:

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 depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance. Management generally considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from net income. Management believes that the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.

Because FFO excludes significant economic components of net income including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as an adjunct to net income and not as an alternative to net income. The principal limitation of FFO is that it does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP 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. FFO only provides investors with an additional performance measure. Other REITS may use different methods for calculating FFO and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

The following table reconciles net income to FFO and calculates FFO data for both basic and diluted purposes for the periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾ The Company entered into three interest rate swaps and an interest rate cap agreement. The valuation adjustment reflects the theoretical noncash profit and loss were those hedging transactions terminated at the balance sheet date. As the Company has no expectation of terminating the transactions prior to maturity, the net of these noncash valuation adjustments will be zero at the various maturities. As any imperfection related to hedging correlation in these swaps is reflected currently in cash as interest, the valuation adjustments reflect volatility that would distort the comparative measurement of FFO and on a net basis approximate zero. Accordingly, the valuation adjustments are excluded from FFO. The valuation adjustment is included in interest expense.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company mitigates this risk by maintaining prudent amounts of leverage, minimizing capital costs and interest expense while continuously evaluating all available debt and equity resources and following established risk management policies and procedures, which include the periodic use of derivatives. The Company’s primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company generally employs derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

The Company’s variable rate debt totals $152.8 million and $217.0 million as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which bears interest at various Prime and LIBOR/DMBS rates. If Prime or LIBOR/DMBS increased or decreased by 1.00 percent during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company believes its interest expense would have increased or decreased by approximately $0.8 million and $1.0 million based on the $152.0 million and $194.0 million average balance outstanding under the Company’s variable rate debt facilities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company has entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements and an interest rate cap agreement. One of the swap agreements fixes $25 million of variable rate borrowings at 4.84 percent through July 2009, another of the swap agreements fixes $25 million of variable rate borrowings at 5.28 percent through July 2012 and the third swap agreement, which matures in July 2007, fixes $25 million of variable rate borrowings and has an effective fixed rate of 3.88 percent. The interest rate cap agreement has a cap rate of 9.99 percent, a notional amount of $152.4 million and a termination date of April 28, 2009. Each of the Company’s derivative contracts is based upon 90-day LIBOR. Subsequent to quarter end, one of the interest rate swaps matured and was not replaced.

5. The definition of “Debt” as set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof: “Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, trust preferred securities and/or preferred stock issued by the REIT, the Company and/or their consolidated Subsidiaries shall be excluded from the definitions of Debt, provided that each such trust preferred securities or preferred stock., as the case may be, (i) is subordinate in right of payment to the Obligations and (ii) has a stated maturity date that is no earlier than the Termination Date.”
