PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

We own, operate and finance manufactured housing communities
concentrated in the midwestern and southeastern United States. Sun Communities,
Inc., a Maryland corporation and our sole general partner ("General Partner"),
is a fully integrated real estate company which, together with its affiliates
and predecessors, has been in the business of acquiring, operating and expanding
manufactured housing communities since 1975. As of December 31, 2001, we owned
and operated or financed a portfolio of 116 developed properties located in
fifteen states (the "Properties"), including 105 manufactured housing
communities, 5 recreational vehicle communities, and 6 properties containing
both manufactured housing and recreational vehicle sites. As of December 31,
2001, the Properties contained an aggregate of 40,544 developed sites comprised
of 35,390 developed manufactured home sites and 5,154 recreational vehicle sites
and an additional 4,385 manufactured home sites suitable for development. In
order to enhance Property performance and cash flow, the Company, through Sun
Home Services, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("SHS"), actively markets and sells
new and used manufactured homes for placement in the Properties.

Our executive and principal property management office is located at
31700 Middlebelt Road, Suite 145, Farmington Hills, Michigan 48334 and our
telephone number is (248) 932-3100. We have regional property management offices
located in Austin, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, Elkhart, Indiana, Grand Rapids,
Michigan, and Orlando, Florida, and we employed an aggregate of 546 people as of
December 31, 2001.

STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY

Our General Partner is a self-administered and self-managed real estate
investment trust, or REIT. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership
REIT, or UPREIT, and is the entity through which our General Partner conducts
substantially all of its operations, and which owns, either directly or
indirectly, through subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries"), all of the General
Partner's assets. This UPREIT structure enables the General Partner to comply
with certain complex requirements under the Federal tax rules and regulations
applicable to REITs, and to acquire manufactured housing communities in
transactions that defer some or all of the sellers' tax consequences. Our
Subsidiaries include SHS, which provides manufactured home sales and other
services to current and prospective tenants of the Properties. Along with
several other subsidiaries, SHS wholly owns Sun Water Oak Golf, Inc., which was
organized to own and operate the golf course, restaurant and related facilities
located on the Water Oak Property that was acquired in November 1994, and SUI
TRS, Inc., which was organized to hold our investment in Origen Financial,
L.L.C. See "Factors that May Affect Future Results -- Relationship with Origen"
in our General Partner's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001.

THE MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITY INDUSTRY

A manufactured housing community is a residential subdivision designed
and improved with sites for the placement of manufactured homes and related
improvements and amenities. Manufactured homes are detached, single-family homes
which are produced off-site by manufacturers and installed on sites within the
community. Manufactured homes are available in a wide array of designs,
providing owners with a level of customization generally unavailable In other
forms of multifamily housing.

Modern manufactured housing communities, such as the Properties,
contain improvements similar to other garden-style residential developments,
including centralized entrances, paved streets, curbs and gutters, and parkways.
In addition, these communities also often provide a number of amenities, such as
a clubhouse, a swimming pool, shuffleboard courts, tennis courts, laundry
facilities and cable television service.

The owner of each home on our Properties leases the site on which the
home is located. We own the underlying land, utility connections, streets,
lighting, driveways, common area amenities and other capital improvements and
are responsible for enforcement of community guidelines and maintenance. Some of
the Properties provide water and sewer service through public or private
utilities, while others provide these services to residents from on-site
facilities. Each owner within our Properties is responsible for the maintenance
of his or her home and leased site. As a result, capital expenditure needs tend
to be less significant, relative to multi-family rental apartment complexes.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Our property management strategy emphasizes intensive, hands-on
management by dedicated, on-site district and community managers. We believe
that this on-site focus enables us to continually monitor and address tenant
concerns, the performance of competitive properties and local market conditions.
Of the 546 Company employees, 487 are located on-site as property managers,
support staff, or maintenance personnel.

Our community managers are overseen by Brian W. Fannon, our General
Partner's Chief Operating Officer, who has 32 years of property management
experience, a Senior-Vice President-Operations, three Vice Presidents of
Operations and ten Regional Property Managers. In addition, the Regional
Property Managers are responsible for semi-annual market surveys of competitive
communities, interaction with local manufactured home dealers and regular
property inspections.

Each district or community manager performs regular inspections in
order to continually monitor the Property's physical condition and provides
managers with the opportunity to understand and effectively address tenant
concerns. In addition to a district or community manager, each district or
property has an on-site maintenance personnel and management support staff. We
hold periodic training sessions for all property management personnel to ensure
that management policies are implemented effectively and professionally.


3

HOME SALES

SHS offers manufactured home sales services to tenants and prospective
tenants of our Properties. Since tenants often purchase a home already on-site
within a community, such services enhance occupancy and property performance.
Additionally, because many of the homes in the Properties are sold through SHS,
better control of home quality in our communities can be maintained than if
sales services were conducted solely through third-party brokers.

REGULATIONS AND INSURANCE

General. Manufactured housing community properties are subject to
various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to
recreational facilities such as swimming pools, clubhouses and other common
areas. We believe that each Property has the necessary operating permits and
approvals.

Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). The Properties and any newly
acquired manufactured housing communities must comply with the ADA. The ADA has
separate compliance requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial
facilities," but generally requires that public facilities such as clubhouses,
pools and recreation areas be made accessible to people with disabilities.
Compliance with ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers and
other capital improvements at our Properties. Noncompliance could result in
imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. We do not
believe the ADA will have a material adverse impact on our results of
operations. If required property improvements involve a greater expenditure than
we currently anticipate, or if the improvements must be made on a more
accelerated basis than we anticipate, our ability to make expected distributions
could be adversely affected. We believe that our competitors face similar costs
to comply with the requirements of the ADA.

Insurance. Our management believes that the Properties are covered by
adequate fire, flood, property and business interruption insurance provided by
reputable companies with commercially reasonable deductibles and limits. We
maintain a blanket policy that covers all of our Properties. We have obtained
title insurance insuring fee title to the Properties in an aggregate amount
which we believe to be adequate.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Our prospects are subject to certain uncertainties and risks. Our
future results could differ materially from our current results, and our actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements as a result of certain risk factors. These risk factors include, but
are not limited to, the risk factors set forth in the General Partner's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, other one-time
events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in
the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This
report contains certain forward-looking statements.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

General. As of December 31, 2001, the Properties consisted of 104
manufactured housing communities, 5 recreational vehicle communities, and 7
properties containing both manufactured housing and recreational vehicle sites
located in fifteen states concentrated in the midwestern and


4

southeastern United States. As of December 31, 2001, the Properties contained
40,544 developed sites comprised of 35,340 developed manufactured home sites and
5,154 recreational vehicle sites and an additional 4,385 manufactured home sites
suitable for development. Most of the Properties include amenities oriented
towards family and retirement living. Of the 116 Properties, 61 have more than
300 developed manufactured home sites, with the largest having 1,554 developed
manufactured home sites.

The Properties had an aggregate occupancy rate of 93% as of December
31, 2001, excluding recreational vehicle sites. Since January 1, 2001, the
Properties have averaged an aggregate annual turnover of homes (where the home
is moved out of the community) of approximately 3.2% and an average annual
turnover of residents (where the home is sold and remains within the community,
typically without interruption of rental income) of approximately 7.4%.

We believe that our Properties' high amenity levels contribute to low
turnover and generally high occupancy rates. All of the Properties provide
residents with attractive amenities with most offering a clubhouse, a swimming
pool, laundry facilities and cable television service. Many Properties offer
additional amenities such as sauna/whirlpool spas, tennis, shuffleboard and
basketball courts and/or exercise rooms.

We have tried to concentrate our communities within certain geographic
areas in order to achieve economies of scale in management and operation. The
Properties are principally concentrated in the midwestern and southeastern
United States. We believe that geographic diversification will help insulate the
portfolio from regional economic influences and we are also interested in
expanding our operations in the western United States.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the
Properties owned or financed as of December 31, 2001:

ITEM 7. 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 elsewhere herein.

The Company owns, operates and finances manufactured housing
communities concentrated in the midwestern and southeastern United States. Sun
Communities, Inc. ("Sun"), a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate
Investment Trust is the sole general partner of the Company. As of December 31,
2001, the Company owned and operated or financed a portfolio of 116 developed
properties located in 15 states, including 104 manufactured housing communities,
5 recreational vehicle communities, and 7 properties containing both
manufactured housing and recreational vehicle sites.

During 2001, the Company acquired five manufactured housing
communities, comprising 2,332 developed sites, for $55.8 million and two
development communities, comprising 1,273 sites, for $4.3 million and the
Company sold two manufactured housing communities for $16.2 million.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. In preparing these financial statements,
management has made its best estimates and judgment of certain amounts included
in the financial statements. Nevertheless, actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following significant accounting policies,
among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

Principles of Consolidation. The financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and all its wholly and 99 percent owned subsidiary
partnerships and limited liability companies.

Notes Receivable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its notes
receivable whenever events occur or there are changes in circumstances such that
management believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts
due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The loan is then
measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flow discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent.


14

Rental Property. Rental property is recorded at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment in
rental property whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as recent
operating results, expected net operating cash flow and plans for future
operations, indicate that full asset recoverability is questionable.
Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of such assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be
generated by the assets. If such assets were deemed to be impaired as a result
of this measurement, the impairment that would be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the
asset as determined on a discounted net cash flow basis.

Revenue Recognition. Rental income attributable to leases is recorded
on a straight-line basis when earned from tenants. Leases entered into by
tenants generally range from month-to-month to one year and are renewable by
mutual agreement of the Company and the resident.

Income Taxes. As a partnership, the Company does not pay federal or
state income taxes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of year ended December 31, 2001 to year ended December 31, 2000

For the year ended December 31, 2001, income before gain from property
dispositions, net and distribution to Preferred OP Units increased by $1.5
million from $41.5 million to $43.0 million, when compared to the year ended
December 31, 2000. The increase was due to increased revenues of $7.0 million
while expenses increased by $5.5 million.

Income from property increased by $6.6 million from $132.4 million to
$139.0 million, or 5.0 percent, due to rent increases and other community
revenues ($6.5 million) and acquisitions ($4.4 million), offset by a revenue
reduction of $4.3 million due to property dispositions.

Other income increased by $0.4 million from $14.1 million to $14.5
million due primarily to an increase in interest income ($1.3 million) offset by
reductions in income from affiliate ($0.5 million) and other income ($0.4
million).

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.6 million
from $28.6 million to $29.2 million, or 2.0 percent, representing general cost
increases ($1.0 million) and acquisitions ($0.7 million), offset by an expense
reduction of $1.1 million due to property dispositions.

Real estate taxes increased by $0.4 million from $9.1 million to $9.5
million, or 4.5 percent, due to the acquired communities ($0.2 million) and
changes in certain assessments.

Property management expenses decreased by $0.2 million from $2.9
million to $2.7 million, representing 2.0 percent and 2.2 percent of income from
property in 2001 and 2000, respectively.


15

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million from $4.1
million to $4.6 million, representing 3.0 percent and 2.8 percent of total
revenues in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Interest expense increased by $1.4 million from $29.6 million to $31.0
million due primarily to financing additional investments in rental property
offset by decreasing rates on variable rate debt.

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 $5.7
million from $101.8 million to $107.5 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues
increased to 70.0 percent in 2001 compared to 69.5 percent in 2000.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.8 million from
$30.7 million to $33.5 million due primarily to the net additional investments
in rental properties.

Comparison of year ended December 31, 2000 to year ended December 31, 1999

For the year ended December 31, 2000, income before gain from property
dispositions, net and distribution to Preferred OP Units increased by $4.9
million from $36.6 million to $41.5 million, when compared to the year ended
December 31, 1999. The increase was due to increased revenues of $11.6 million
while expenses increased by $6.7 million.

Income from property increased by $7.0 million from $125.4 million to
$132.4 million, or 5.6 percent, due to rent increases and other community
revenues ($5.3 million), acquisitions ($3.1 million), lease up of manufactured
home sites ($2.2 million), offset by a revenue reduction of $3.6 million due to
the sale of communities during 1999.

Other income increased by $4.6 million from $9.5 million to $14.1
million due primarily to an increase in interest income ($3.0 million) and other
income ($2.7 million), offset by a $1.1 million reduction in income from
affiliate.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $1.3 million
from $27.3 million to $28.6 million, or 4.7 percent, due primarily to
acquisitions ($0.8 million).

Real estate taxes increased by $0.2 million from $8.9 million to $9.1
million, or 2.5 percent, due primarily to the acquired communities.

Property management expenses increased by $0.3 million from $2.6
million to $2.9 million, or 11.2 percent, representing 2.2 percent and 2.1
percent of income from property in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million from $3.7
million to $4.1 million, or 10.8 percent, representing 2.8 percent and 2.7
percent of total revenues in 2000 and 1999, respectively.


16

Interest expense increased by $2.4 million from $27.3 million to $29.7
million due primarily to investments in rental property and notes receivable.

EBITDA increased by $9.4 million from $92.4 million to $101.8 million.
EBITDA as a percent of revenues increased to 69.5 percent in 2000 compared to
68.5 percent in 1999.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.1 million from
$28.6 million to $30.7 million due primarily to the acquisition and
development/expansion of communities in 2000 and 1999.

SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION

The following table reflects property-level financial information as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. The "Same Property" data

On a same property basis, property revenues increased by $5.4 million from $99.9
million to $105.3 million, or 5.4 percent, due primarily to increases in rents
and related charges including water and property tax pass through.

Property operating expenses increased by $0.8 million from $25.6 million to
$26.4 million, or 3.2 percent, due to increased costs. Property EBITDA increased
by $4.5 million from $74.4 million to $78.9 million, or 6.1 percent.


17

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal liquidity demands have historically been, and
are expected to continue to be, distributions to Sun's stockholders and the
Company's unitholders, property acquisitions, development and expansion of
properties, capital improvements of properties and debt repayment.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements
through its working capital provided by operating activities and its line of
credit, as described below. The Company considers its ability to generate cash
from operations (anticipated to be approximately $70 million) 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 distributions to Sun's stockholders to maintain Sun's qualification
as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and make distributions to
the Company's unitholders.

The Company plans to invest approximately $25 to $30 million in
developments consisting of expansions to existing communities and the new or
continuing development of new communities. The Company expects to finance these
investments by using net cash flows provided by operating activities and by
drawing upon its line of credit.

Furthermore, the Company expects to invest in the range of $40 to $60
million in the acquisition of properties in 2002, depending upon market
conditions. The Company plans to finance these investments by using net cash
flows provided by operating activities and by drawing upon its line of credit.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $13.9 million to $4.6 million at
December 31, 2001 compared to $18.5 million at December 31, 2000 because cash
used in investing and financing activities exceeded cash provided by operating
activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $9.2 million
to $65.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $56.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily due to
earnings attributable to OP Units before depreciation and amortization and gain
from property dispositions, net increasing by $4.0 million and other assets
decreasing by $2.6 million, offset by accounts payable and other liabilities
increasing by $2.5 million.

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 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
"Factors that May Affect Future Results."

The Company's $150 million unsecured line of credit, which expires in
January 2003, bears interest at the annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.0%. At December
31, 2001, the average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under the line of
credit was 3.22%, $93 million was outstanding and $57 million was available to
be drawn. The line of credit facility contains


18

various leverage, debt service coverage, net worth maintenance and other
customary covenants all of which the Company was in compliance with at December
21, 2001.

The Company's primary long-term liquidity needs are principal payments
on outstanding indebtedness. At December 31, 2001, the Company's outstanding
contractual obligations were as follows:

(1) The Company is the guarantor of $23.2 million in personal bank loans
which is not reflected in the balance sheet, maturing in 2004, made to
Sun's and the Company's directors, employees and consultants for the
purpose of purchasing shares of Sun's common stock or the Company's OP
Units pursuant to Sun's Stock Purchase Plan. The Company is obligated
under the Guaranty only in the event that one or more of the borrowers
cannot repay their loan when due.

The Company anticipates meeting its long-term liquidity requirements,
such as scheduled debt maturities, large property acquisitions and Operating
Partnership unit redemptions, through the issuance of debt or equity securities,
including equity units in the Operating Partnership, or from selective asset
sales. Along with OrigenLLC's other investors, the Company may be requested to
make additional capital contributions to maintain its respective ownership
interest. The Company has maintained investment grade ratings with Fitch ICBA,
Moody's Investor Service and Standard & Poor's, which facilitates access to the
senior unsecured debt market. Since 1993, the Company has raised, in the
aggregate, $263.4 million from the sale of Sun's shares of common stock, $84.2
million from the issuance of OP units in the Company and $430 million from
secured and unsecured debt securities. In addition, at December 31, 2001,
ninety-six of the Properties were unencumbered by debt, therefore, providing
substantial financial flexibility. 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 "Factors that May Affect Future Results". If the
Company is unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing on acceptable
terms, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition
will be harmed.

The terms of the $35.8 million Preferred OP units were renegotiated
effective December 31, 2001. The conversion price increased from $27 per unit to
at least $68 per unit and the coupon rate was decreased from nine percent (9%)
to seven percent (7%) for the first two years followed by a variable rate
ranging from 6.5% to 8.5% with mandatory redemption on January 2, 2014.


19

At December 31, 2001, the Company's debt to total market capitalization
approximated 36.7 percent (assuming conversion of all Common OP Units to shares
of common stock). The debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 5.3
years and a weighted average interest rate of 6.6 percent.

Capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
included recurring capital expenditures of $4.8 million and $4.6 million,
respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $34.2 million to
$35.1 million from $69.3 million due to a $84.5 million increase in repayments
from financing notes receivable, net offset by a $20.7 million increase in
investment in and advances to affiliates, a $17.1 million decrease in proceeds
related to property dispositions and a $12.5 million increase in rental property
acquisition activities.

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $64.4 million to
$44.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily
because of a $74.5 million increase in repayments on notes payable, $100 million
reduced proceeds from notes payable and $7.1 million in capital withdrawals and
distributions offset by a $116.0 million increase in borrowings on the line of
credit.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was 1.83:1, 1.87:1, and 1.95:1 respectively.

INDUSTRY CONDITIONS

According to the Manufactured Housing Institute, the shipments of new
manufactured homes has declined from 373,000 in 1998 to 193,000 in 2001. This
decline was caused primarily by the tightening of credit standards in response
to an increasing number of repossessions. Beginning in 1999, repossessions
increased as unqualified borrowers defaulted on their manufactured home loans.
Financing standards tightened significantly reducing demand at a time of
excessive inventories. Exacerbating this excess supply was the competition of
aggressively priced repossessed homes which further slowed new home sales.

The Company expects these conditions to work themselves back into
equilibrium. New home shipments increased in October 2001 as compared to October
2000, representing the first such year to year monthly increase since March
1999. Fourth quarter 2001 shipments exceeded fourth quarter 2000 shipments and
the trend has continued through January 2002 with no sign of inventory
accumulation. Repossessions are expected to remain at high levels throughout
most, if not all, of 2002.

These conditions adversely impact the sale of new homes by SHS, which
harms the Company's profitability. Furthermore, these conditions cause a
slow-down in the leasing of the Company's communities, especially newly
developed expansions and new communities, which in turn slows the development of
new sites causing the Company to hold non-income producing land inventory
longer.


20

INFLATION

Most of the leases allow for periodic rent increases which provide the
Company with the opportunity to achieve increases in rental income as each lease
expires. Such types of leases generally minimize the risk of inflation to the
Company.

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 are
generally to be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect a material
impact from the adoption of this standard.

In June 2001, the FASB approved 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.

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 data for both basic and diluted purposes for the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The
Company does not hedge interest rate risk using financial instruments nor is the
Company subject to foreign currency risk on its long-term debt, mortgage notes
and other notes receivable. The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in
interest rates relates primarily to refinancing long-term fixed rate
obligations, the opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations in a falling
interest rate environment and its variable rate line of credit. The Company
primarily enters into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes
including acquisitions, capital improvements and working capital needs.

The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk on its variable rate
indebtedness by borrowing on a short term basis under its line of credit until
such time as it is able to retire the short term variable rate debt with a long
term fixed rate debt offering on terms that are advantageous.

The Company's variable rate debt is limited to its $150 million line of
credit ($93.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2001) which bears interest
at LIBOR plus 1.0 percent. If LIBOR increased or decreased by 1.0 percent during
2001 and 2000, the Company believes its interest expense would have increased or
decreased by approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million based on the $69.2
million and $49.9 million average balance outstanding under the Company's line
of credit for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Additionally, the Company has $49.0 million LIBOR based variable rate
mortgage and other notes receivables at December 31, 2001. If LIBOR increased or
decreased by 1.0 percent during 2001 and 2000, the Company believes interest
income would have increased or decreased by approximately $0.8 million and $0.7
million based on the $79.5 million and $68.0 million average balance outstanding
on all variable rate notes receivables for the year ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of Sun Communities
Operating Limited Partnership:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, partners' capital and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun Communities
Operating Limited Partnership and subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31,
2001 and December 31, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred
to in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the
related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a. BUSINESS: The Company owns and operates or finances 116 manufactured
housing communities located in 15 states concentrated principally in
the Midwest and Southeast comprising approximately 40,544 developed
sites and approximately 4,385 sites suitable for development.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

b. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and all its wholly and 99 percent
owned subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies. All
significant inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation. The limited partnership interests are adjusted to
their relative ownership interest by reclassification to/from general
partnership interests. Minority interests represented by Sun's one
percent indirect interest in the aforementioned subsidiaries are not
separately recognized in the Company's financial statements, but rather
are included in general and administrative expenses since the amounts
involved are immaterial.

c. RENTAL PROPERTY: Rental property is recorded at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment
in rental property whenever events or changes in circumstances such as
recent operating results, expected net operating cash flow and plans
for future operations indicate that full asset recoverability is
questionable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to the future
undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If
such assets were deemed to be impaired as a result of this measurement,
the impairment that would be recognized is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the
asset as determined on a discounted cash flow basis.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The
provisions of this SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company
does not expect a material impact from the adoption of this standard.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Useful lives are 30 years for land
improvements and buildings and 7 to 15 years for furniture, fixtures
and equipment.

Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred and significant renovations and improvements,
which improve and/or extend the useful life of the asset, are
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Construction costs related to new community or expansion sites
development including interest are capitalized until the property is
substantially complete.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

d. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash
and cash equivalents.

e. NOTES RECEIVABLE: The Company evaluates the recoverability of its notes
receivable whenever events occur or there are changes in circumstances
such that management believes it is probable that it will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. The loan is then measured based on the present value of the
expected future cash flow discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent.

f. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES: Sun Home Services ("SHS")
provides home sales and other services to current and prospective
tenants. Through the Operating Partnership, the Company owns 100
percent of the outstanding preferred stock of SHS, is entitled to
ninety-five percent (95%) of the operating cash flow, and accounts for
its investment utilizing the equity method of accounting. The common
stock is owned by one officer of the Company and the estate of a former
officer of the Company who collectively are entitled to receive five
percent (5%) of the operating cash flow.

Bingham Financial Services Corporation ("BFSC") was formed by Sun in
1997 in response to demand for financing from purchasers and residents
in the Company's communities. As BFSC's business developed, its
objectives and opportunities expanded and the Company concluded that
its business could be operated and grown more effectively as a separate
public entity. BFSC's initial public offering occurred in November
1997. The Company has continued to provide financial support to BFSC.
In December 2001, the Company, through SHS, made a $15 million equity
investment in a newly formed company Origen Financial, L.L.C., that
will merge with Origen Financial, Inc., subsidiary of BFSC, as part of
the recapitalization of BFSC. As a result of this equity investment,
the Company will own approximately a thirty percent (30%) interest in
the surviving company ("Origen"), which company will hold all of the
operating assets of BFSC and its subsidiaries. BFSC owns approximately
a twenty percent (20%) interest in Origen and the Company (together
with the other investors in Origen) has the right to purchase its
pro-rata share of BFSC's interest in Origen at fair value as determined
by an independent nationally recognized investment banking firm's
application of generally accepted valuation methodologies at any time
between the third and fifth anniversaries of the closing date of the
Company's investment in Origen. Coincident with the recapitalization of
BFSC, Gary A. Shiffman, Sun's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President, invested on behalf of himself and his family $5 million in
Origen and holds approximately a ten percent (10%) interest in Origen.
An unrelated third party also invested $20 million all on the same
terms as the Company and Mr. Shiffman. Mr. Shiffman and Arthur A.
Weiss, the Company's legal counsel, are directors of BFSC and Sun and
Mr. Shiffman currently serves as Chairman of both companies.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

f. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES (CONTINUED):

Additionally, the Company (together with the unrelated third party)
provides financing to Origen and is subject to the risks of being a
lender. These risks include the risks relating to borrower delinquency
and default and the adequacy of the collateral for such loans. This
financing consists of a $21.25 million standby line of credit of which
the Company's commitment is $12.5 million ($11.2 million was
outstanding as of December 31, 2001), bearing interest at a per annum
rate equal to 700 basis points over LIBOR, with a minimum interest rate
of 11 percent and a maximum interest rate of 15 percent. This line of
credit is collateralized by a security interest in Origen's assets,
which is subordinate in all respects to all institutional indebtedness
of Origen, and a guaranty and pledge of assets by Bingham. Under the
participation agreement, each lender participates pari passu in all
proceeds from the line of credit, provided that, if additional funds in
excess of $17.5 million are loaned to Origen and both lenders do not
participate therein, such additional amounts funded will be subordinate
in all respects to all indebtedness of Origen in which both lenders
have participated.

During 2001, the Company acquired five communities comprising 2,332
developed sites for $55.8 million and two development communities
comprising 1,273 sites for $4.3 million. During 2000, the Company acquired
three manufactured housing communities comprising 659 developed sites for
$21.1 million. These transactions have been accounted for as purchases, and
the statements of income include the operations of the acquired communities
from the dates of their respective acquisitions. As of December 31, 2001,
in conjunction with a 1993 acquisition, the Company is obligated to issue
$8.2 million of OP Units through 2009 based on the per unit price of the OP
Units on the issuance date. This obligation was accounted for as part of
the purchase price of the original acquisition.

5. DEBT (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) (CONTINUED):

The Company has a $150 million unsecured line of credit at LIBOR plus 1.0
percent maturing in January, 2003, of which $57 million was available at
December 31, 2001. The average interest rate of outstanding borrowings at
December 31, 2001 was 3.22 percent.

The term loan is collateralized by seven communities comprising
approximately 3,400 sites. The capitalized lease obligations and mortgage
notes are collateralized by eleven communities comprising approximately
4,440 sites. At the lease expiration date of the capitalized leases, the
Company has the right and intends to purchase the properties for the amount
of the then outstanding lease obligation. Annual payments under capitalized
lease obligations are $2.1 million in 2002 and $0.8 million in 2003.

At December 31, 2001, the maturities of debt, excluding the line of credit,
during the next five years are approximately as follows: 2002 - $17.6
million; 2003 - $86.7 million; 2004 - $12.2 million; 2005 - $1.6 million;
and 2006 - $7.9 million.

The Company is the guarantor of $23.2 million in personal bank loans
maturing in 2004, made to Sun's directors, employees and consultants to
purchase common stock of the general partner and OP Units pursuant to Sun's
Stock Purchase Plan. No compensation expense was recognized in respect to
the guarantees as the fair value therefore was not material nor have there
been any defaults.

6. SUN'S STOCK OPTIONS:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999

6. SUN'S STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED):

Sun's stock option plans provide for up to 2.2 million shares of common
stock that may be granted to directors, executive officers and other key
employees of Sun or the Company. At December 31, 2001, 369,764 shares of
common stock were available for the granting of options. Options are
granted at fair market value and generally vest over a two-year period and
may be exercised for 10 years after date of grant. In addition, the Company
established a Long-Term Incentive Plan in 1997 for certain employees
granting 168,000 options which become exercisable in equal installments in
2002-2004.

The Company has opted to measure compensation cost utilizing the intrinsic
value method. The fair value of each option grant was estimated as of the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following assumptions for options granted in:



2001 2000 1999
------ ------ ------

Estimated fair value per share/unit of options granted during year $ 6.19 $ 2.43 $ 2.43

Assumptions:
Annualized dividend yield ...................................... 5.9% 7.1% 7.1%
Common stock/partnership interest price volatility ............. 16.4% 15.3% 15.3%
Risk-free rate of return ....................................... 5.3% 6.4% 6.4%
Expected option term (in years) ................................ 4 6 6


If compensation cost for stock option grants had been recognized based on
the fair value at the grant date, this would have resulted in net income
of $38.7 million, $38.2 million and $33.4 million and net income per OP
Unit of $1.95, $1.91 and $1.68 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

7. PARTNERS' CAPITAL:

There are approximately $8.2 million of $100 mandatory redemption price
Series B Units outstanding at December 31, 2001 with mandatory dividends at
rates ranging from 6.85 percent to 9.19 percent and maturing between 2003
and 2012.

The Company issued 2 million Series A Units at $25 per unit in September
1999 bearing an annual coupon rate of 8.875 percent. The Series A Units may
be called by the Company at par on or after September 29, 2004, have no
stated maturity or mandatory redemption and are convertible into Sun's
