SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


2. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES:

Sun Home Services, Inc. ("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
and is entitled to ninety-five percent (95%) of the operating cash
flow. 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.

Through SHS, the Company owns approximately a thirty percent (30%)
interest in Origen Financial LLC ("Origen"), which company holds all of
the operating assets of Bingham Financial Services ("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 certain rights to purchase its pro-rata share of BFSC's interest in
Origen at fair value.

Additionally, in August 2002, the maximum availability under the
secured line of credit provided by Origen by the Company and another
unaffiliated lender was increased to $35 million until December 31,
2002, at which time the line of credit is due and payable in full.
Pursuant to the terms of the participation agreement between the
Company and the other lender, the Company is obligated to loan up to
$20 million to Origen under the line of credit and the other lender is
required to loan up to $15 million to Origen under the line of credit.
The Company and the other lender participate pari-passu in the first
$30 million advanced under the line of credit and any funds advanced to
Origen in excess of $30 million will be subordinate in all respect to
the first $30 million. As of August 22, 2002, approximately $13.5
million was advanced by the Company under its participation in the line
of credit.

As a result of the increased line of credit, the Company's aggregate
investment in, and maximum advances to, Origen is $35 million ($15
million equity investment in the initial $40 million capitalization and
up to $20 million of advances under the line of credit). For comparison
purposes, as of June 30, 2001, the Company was the sole provider of up
to $64 million of debt financing to BFSC, the predecessor to Origen.
Consequently, although the Company was the sole provider of up to $64
million of credit in June 2001, the Company is now committed to
contribute an aggregate of $35 million to Origen out of the total $75
million contributed to Origen in the form of equity investment ($40
million) and line of credit ($35 million).

Also included in investment in and advances to affiliates is the
Company's investment in and advances to SunChamp, a development entity
comprising eleven new communities. The Company owns approximately
seventeen percent (17%) of SunChamp at June 30, 2002.

All of these investments are accounted for utilizing the equity method
of accounting.

Company issued 100,000 Series B-2 Preferred OP Units that bear interest
at the rate of 6.0 percent per annum for the first five years and 7.0
percent per annum thereafter. The Series B-2 Preferred Units are
convertible into Common OP Units in January 2005 at $45 per unit and
redeemable at $45 per unit in January 2007 and, upon certain
circumstances, at times thereafter.

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

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, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying
accounting standards and operations involved, could result in material changes
to its financial condition or result of operations under different conditions or
using different assumptions. Details regarding the Company's significant
accounting policies are described fully in the Company's 2001 Annual Report
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. During the three
and six months ended June 30, 2002, 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, 2002 and 2001

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, income before gain from property
dispositions, net and distribution to Preferred OP Units decreased by 8.4
percent from $10.9 million to $10.0 million, when compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was due to increased revenues of $1.0 million
offset by increased expenses of $1.9 million as described in more detail below.

Income from property increased by $3.2 million from $34.5 million to $37.7
million, or 9.3 percent, due to acquisitions (1.7 million) and rent increases
and other community revenues ($1.5 million).

Income from affiliates decreased by $0.9 million to a loss of $0.9 million due
to losses at affiliates caused principally by reduced home sales and loan
originations. Other income decreased by $1.3 million from $3.6 million to $2.3
million due primarily to a decrease in interest income.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.8 million from $6.9
million to $7.7 million, or 11.3 percent, primarily due to acquisitions ($0.5
million).

Real estate taxes increased by $0.2 million from $2.3 million to $2.5 million
due to acquisitions ($0.1 million) and changes in certain assessments.




11




SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

Property management expenses remained constant at $0.6 million representing 1.5
percent and 1.9 percent of income from property in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

General and administrative expenses remained constant at $1.2 million,
representing 2.9 percent and 3.2 percent of total revenues in 2002 and 2001,
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 $0.1 million from $27.0
million to $27.1 million. EBITDA as a percent of revenues was 69.3 percent in
2002 compared to 70.8 percent in 2001.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.2 million from $8.2 million to
$9.4 million, or 14.5 percent, due primarily to the net additional investment in
rental properties.

Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million from $7.9 million to $7.7 million, or
2.1 percent, due primarily to decreasing rates on variable rate debt.

The three months ended June 30, 2001 also included a $0.8 million gain from
property disposition, net.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, income before gain from property
dispositions, net and distribution to Preferred OP Units decreased by 5.7
percent from $22.2 million to $20.9 million, when compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was due to increased revenues of $2.7 million
offset by increased expenses of $4.0 million as described in more detail below.

Income from property increased by $7.0 million from $69.1 million to $76.1
million, or 10.2 percent, due to acquisitions (3.8 million) and rent increases
and other community revenues ($3.2 million).

Income from affiliates decreased from $0.1 million to a loss of $1.2 million due
to losses at affiliates caused principally by reduced new home sales and loan
originations. Other income decreased by $3.1 million from $7.9 million to $4.8
million due primarily to a decrease in interest income.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $1.6 million from $14.3
million to $15.9 million, or 11.1 percent, primarily due to acquisitions ($1.0
million).

Real estate taxes increased by $0.5 million from $4.6 million to $5.1 million
due to acquisitions ($0.25 million) and changes in certain assessments.

Property management expenses decreased by $0.1 million form $1.4 million to $1.3
million representing 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent of income from property in 2002
and 2001, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million from $2.4 million
to $2.5 million, representing 3.1 percent and 3.0 percent of total revenues in
2002 and 2001, respectively.


EBITDA decreased by $0.5 million from $54.9 million to $54.4 million. EBITDA as
a percent of revenues was 68.9 percent in 2002 compared to 70.6 percent in 2001.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.5 million from $16.0 million to
$18.5 million, or 15.6 percent, due primarily to the net additional investment
in rental properties.

Interest expense decreased by $0.7 million from $16.2 million to $15.5 million,
or 4.3 percent, due primarily to decreasing rates on variable rate debt.

The six months ended June 30, 2001 also included a $4.3 million gain from
property disposition, net.

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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 annually) 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 Operating Partnership's unitholders.

The Company plans to invest approximately $25 to $30 million annually in
developments consisting of expansions to existing communities and the
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 increased by $6.5 million to $11.1 million at
June 30, 2002 compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2001 because cash
provided by operating activities and financing activities exceeded cash used in
investing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by
$8.4 million to $30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to
$39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was
primarily due to accounts payable and other liabilities decreasing by $3.5
million and other assets increasing by $6.2 million offset by an increase in
earnings attributed to OP Units before depreciation and amortization, gain from
property dispositions, net and discontinued operations increasing by $1.3
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 "Risk
Factors" in Sun's Registration Statement on S-3, Amendment No. 1 (Registration
No. 333-96769).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED:

On May 31, 2002, the Company closed on a $100.8 million collateralized
five year variable rate (2.5% at June 30, 2002) debt facility which is
convertible to a five to ten year fixed rate loan with the proceeds applied to
the line of credit.

In July 2002, the Company refinanced its existing line of credit to an
$85 million facility which matures in July 2005, with a one year optional
extension. At June 30, 2002, the average interest rate of outstanding borrowings
under the line of credit was 2.84%, with $48 million outstanding and $37 million
available to be drawn under the refinanced facility. The line of credit facility
contains various leverage, debt service coverage, net worth maintenance and
other customary covenants all of which the Company was in compliance with at
June 30, 2002.

The Company's primary long-term liquidity needs are principal payments
on outstanding indebtedness. At June 30, 2002, the Company's outstanding
contractual obligations were as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------

(1) The Company is the guarantor of $22.9 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.
(2) The provisions of the callable/redeemable $65 million notes are such
that the maturity date will likely be 2015 if the 10 year Treasury rate
is less than 5.7% on May 16, 2005. The maturity is reflected in the
above table based on that assumption.

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED:

The Company anticipates meeting its long-term liquidity requirements,
such as scheduled debt maturities, large property acquisitions, Operating
Partnership unit redemptions, and potential additional capital contributions to
affiliates (see Footnote 2 INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES), through
the issuance of debt or equity securities, including equity units in the
Operating Partnership, or from selective asset sales. 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, $275.9 million from the sale of
shares of Sun's common stock (including 316,000 shares of common stock sold
during the six months ended June 30, 2002 at an average price of $41 raising
$12.5 million in capital contributions), $93.3 million from the sale of OP units
in the Company and $532 million from the issuance of secured and unsecured debt
securities. In addition, at June 30, 2002, eighty-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 "Risk Factors" in
Sun's Registration Statement on S-3, Amendment No. 1 (Registration No.
333-96769). 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.

At June 30, 2002, the Company's debt to total market capitalization
approximated 42.3 percent (assuming conversion of all Common OP Units to shares
of common stock). The debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 6.0
years and a weighted average interest rate of 6.0 percent.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
included recurring capital expenditures of $2.6 million and $1.9 million,
respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $48.6 million to
$56.4 million compared to $7.8 million provided by investing activities for the
six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was due to a $17.1 million
increase in rental property, acquisition activities , repayments from financing
notes receivable, net decreasing by $10.5 million, a $14.0 million decrease in
proceeds related to property dispositions and an increase of $7.0 million in
investment in and advances to affiliates.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $74.3 million to
$8.6 million from $31.9 million used in financing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to proceeds from notes
payable, net of deferred financing costs, of $100.5 million, a $60.9 million
reduction of repayments on notes payable and other debt and proceeds from
capital contributions increasing by $19.9 million net of capital withdrawals.

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 June
30, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands):

of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the
Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe
harbors created thereby. The words "may", "will", "expect", "believe",
"anticipate", "should", "estimate", and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance,
but are based upon current assumptions regarding the Company's operations,
future results and prospects, and are subject to many uncertainties and factors
relating to the Company's operations and business environment which may cause
the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Please see the
section entitled "Risk Factors" of Sun's S-3, Amendment No. 1 (Registration No.
333-96769) for a list of uncertainties and factors.

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.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") approved
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 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 adoption of these statements did not have a significant impact on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 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 adoption of this statement requires all dispositions
of properties to be disclosed as discontinued operations in the period in which
they occur and prior periods to be reclassified to conform with the current
period presentation. The Company sold one property in the first quarter, which
has been presented accordingly. This implementation of the statement did not
have any other material effect on the Company.

In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64,
Amendment of FAS 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002. The provisions
of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in
