(1) Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize net
operating income ("NOI") as a supplemental performance measure. The Company
considers NOI, given its wide use by and relevance to investors and
analysts, an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because NOI
provides a measure of rental operations and does not factor in
depreciation/amortization and non-property specific expenses such as
general and administrative expenses.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (IN THOUSANDS):

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 have the effect of fixing interest rates relative to a
portion of a collateralized term loan due to FNMA. One swap matures in
July 2009, with an effective fixed rate of 4.93 percent. A second swap
matures in July 2012, with an effective fixed rate of 5.37 percent. The
third swap matures in July 2007, with an effective fixed rate of 3.97
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 9.49 percent, a
notional amount of $152.4 million and a termination date of April 03,
2006. Each of the Company's derivative contracts is based upon 90-day
LIBOR.

The Company has designated the first two swaps and the interest rate cap
as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. 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 for the six month
period ended June 30, 2004 totals a negative $0.5 million.

SFAS No. 133, the "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair
value on the balance sheet. The fair value of the instruments approximates
zero at June 30, 2004 and a liability of $0.9 million as of December 31,
2003.

These valuation adjustments will only be realized if the Company
terminates the swaps prior to maturity. If held to maturity, the valuation
adjustments will approximate zero.

The Company accounts for its stock options using the intrinsic value
method contained in APB Opinion No. 25. "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." If the Company had accounted for options using the methods
contained in FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE (IN THOUSANDS), CONTINUED:

Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur
if dilutive securities were exercised or converted into common stock. The
calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and
six month periods ending June 30, 2004 is based upon weighted average
shares prior to dilution, as the effect of including potentially dilutive
securities in the calculation during these periods would be anti-dilutive.

The Company also has the following potentially convertible securities
which, if converted, may impact dilution:



- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES NUMBER OF UNITS ISSUED CONVERSION FEATURES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Series A Preferred OP Units 1,325,275 Convertible to common stock at $68 per share/unit.

11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

On March 31, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
a proposed Statement, Share-Based Payment an Amendment of FASB Statements
No. 123 and APB No. 95, that addresses the accounting for share-based
payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in
exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities
that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or
that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Under the
FASB's proposal, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including
employee stock options, would be treated the same as other forms of
compensation by recognizing the related cost in the income statement. The
expense of the award would generally be measured at fair value at the
grant date. Current accounting guidance requires that the expense relating
to so-called fixed plan employee stock options only be disclosed in the
footnotes to the financial statements. The proposed Statement would
eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions
using APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The
Company has not assessed the impact of the proposed statement on its
financial statements.

12. 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), filed a complaint against the Company, SunChamp LLC,
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.

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 its results of operations or
financial condition.

ITEM 2. 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 2003 Annual Report
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. During the six
months ended June 30, 2004, 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, 2004 and 2003

For the three months ended June 30, 2004, income from continuing operations
before minority interest decreased by $59.0 million from $7.0 million to a loss
of $52.0 million, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. The
decrease was due to increased expenses of $2.4 million, debt extinguishment
costs of $51.6 million, and deferred financing costs related to the extinguished
debt of $5.6 million, offset by increased revenues of $0.2 million and increased
equity income from affiliates of $0.4 million as described in more detail below.

Income from rental property increased by $1.1 million from $39.4 million to
$40.5 million, or 2.8 percent, due primarily to rent increases and other
community revenues.

Interest and other income decreased by $1.5 million from $3.2 million to $1.7
million, or 46.8 percent, due primarily to a decrease in interest earning notes
and receivables.

The increase in revenue from home sales and increase in ancillary revenues
relate to operations of the manufactured home sales segment which is discussed
in detail below.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.7 million from $9.4
million to $10.1 million, or 7.4 percent. The increase was due to increases in
utility costs ($0.1 million), repair and maintenance expense ($0.2 million),
payroll expense ($0.2 million), property and casualty insurance ($0.1 million),
and other miscellaneous expenses ($0.1 million).

Real estate taxes increased by $0.5 million from $2.9 million to $3.4 million,
or 17.2 percent, due primarily to increases in assessments and tax rates.

OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

General and administrative expenses for rental property increased by $0.1
million from $2.5 million to $2.6 million, or 4.0 percent, primarily due to an
increase in systems training costs.

Debt extinguishment costs of $51.6 million includes prepayment penalties, fees
and other costs associated with redeeming $345.0 million of unsecured notes.
Deferred financing costs related to these notes and other debt repaid with the
proceeds from $733.0 million of new secured financing were expensed.

Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million from $10.5 million to $10.1 million,
or 3.8 percent, primarily due to a change in valuation of derivative contracts.

Equity income from affiliates of $0.1 million represents an estimate of the
Company's prorata interest in the operations of Origen, Inc. for the three
months ended June 30, 2004.

The cost of home sales increase of $1.6 million is discussed in detail below.

OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

Sun Home Services

The margin on new home sales has declined due to consumer demand shifting to
pre-owned homes which are available in substantial quantities. This shift in
demand was more than offset by the supply of pre-owned homes, thereby reducing
margins.

The margin on pre-owned home sales has declined as a result of a management
strategy to reduce the inventory of pre-owned homes and increase revenue
producing sites.

The increase in ancillary revenue, net, is primarily due to increased activity
in the Company's rental home program.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, income from continuing operations before
minority interest decreased by $59.6 million from $16.0 million to a loss of
$43.6 million, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease
was due to increased expenses of $4.8 million, debt extinguishment costs of
$51.6 million, and deferred financing costs related to the extinguished debt of
$5.6 million, offset by increased revenues of $1.8 million and increased equity
income from affiliates of $0.6 million as described in more detail below.

Income from rental property increased by $3.0 million from $80.4 million to
$83.4 million, or 3.7 percent, due to rent increases and other community
revenues, and an increase in seasonal recreational vehicle revenue during the
first quarter of 2004.

Interest and other income decreased by $1.8 million from $5.6 million to $3.8
million, or 32.1 percent, due primarily to a decrease in interest earning notes
and receivables.

The increase in revenue from home sales and increase in ancillary revenues
relate to operations of the manufactured home sales segment which is discussed
in detail below.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.8 million from $19.5
million to $20.3 million, or 4.1 percent. The increase was due to increases in
utility costs ($0.2 million), repair and maintenance expense ($0.2 million),
payroll expense ($0.2 million), and miscellaneous other expenses ($0.2 million).

Real estate taxes increased by $0.6 million from $5.9 million to $6.5 million,
or 10.2 percent, due primarily to increases in assessments and tax rates.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.6 million from $21.5 million to
$22.1 million, or 2.8 percent, due to additional investment in rental property.

Debt extinguishment costs of $51.6 million includes prepayment penalties, fees

SAME PROPERTY INFORMATION

The following table reflects property-level financial information as of and for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The "Same Property" data represents
information regarding the operation of communities owned as of January 1, 2003
and June 30, 2004. Site, occupancy, and rent data for those communities is
presented as of the last day of each period presented. The "Total Portfolio"
column differs from the "Same Property" column by including financial and

(2) Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize net
operating income ("NOI") as a supplemental performance measure. The Company
considers NOI, given its wide use by and relevance to investors and
analysts, an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because NOI
provides a measure of rental operations and does not factor in
depreciation/amortization and non-property specific expenses such as
general and administrative expenses.

(3) Occupancy % and weighted average rent relates to manufactured housing
sites, excluding recreational vehicle sites.

On a same property basis, property net operating income increased by $2.1
million from $52.0 million to $54.1 million, or 4.0 percent. Income from
property increased by $2.5 million from $71.5 million to $74.0 million, or 3.5
percent, due primarily to increases in rents including water and property tax
pass through. Property operating expenses increased by $0.5 million from $19.5
million to $20.0 million, or 2.6 percent, due primarily to increases in real
estate taxes and utility expenses.

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, 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 through a line of credit
expected to close in the third quarter of 2004. The Company considers its
ability to generate cash from operations (anticipated to be approximately $50 to
$60 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 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 plans to invest approximately $5 to $10 million in developments
consisting of expansions to existing communities and the development of new
communities during 2004. 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 may invest substantial amounts in the acquisition of
properties during the remainder of 2004, depending upon a number of factors. The
Company will finance these investments using the proceeds from its secured
financing transactions and through the assumption of existing debt on the
properties.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $82.0 million to $106.1 million at June
30, 2004 compared to $24.1 million at December 31, 2003. Net cash provided by
operating activities decreased by $9.6 million to $22.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $31.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2003.

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 "Factors That May Affect Future Results" in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

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 a significant
portion 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. During the quarter the Company closed on $733 million of
secured financing, in two separate transactions, of which $60.0 million remains
undrawn. Proceeds from these transactions were used to retire $345.0 million of
unsecured notes, pay the related costs of the debt retirement, repay the
Company's existing line of credit, acquire additional properties, and repurchase
the Company's outstanding equity securities. 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" in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. 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, 2004, the Company's debt to total market capitalization approximated
53.2 percent (assuming conversion of all Common OP Units to shares of common
stock). The debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 9.2 years and
a weighted average interest rate of 5.0 percent.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 included
recurring capital expenditures of $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $20.0 million to $56.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $36.7 million used in
investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase was
due to a $12.3 million sale of notes receivable to Origen, Inc., a $22.5 million
decrease in investment in and advances to an affiliate, and a $22.0 million
decrease in notes receivable and officers' notes, net, offset by a $76.8 million
increase in rental property investment activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $112.6 million to $116.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $3.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily due to a $238.4 million
increase in proceeds from notes payable and other debt, net, a $1.2 million
increase of proceeds from issuance of common stock, offset by a $111.0 million
increase in repayments on the line of credit, a $1.8 million increase in
distributions, a $4.9 million increase in payments for deferred financing costs,
and a $9.3 million increase in treasury stock purchase activities, representing
270,200 shares under a one million share buy back authorization.

SUPPLEMENTAL MEASURE:

Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from
operations ("FFO") as a supplemental performance measure. While the Company
believes net income (as defined by generally accepted accounting principles) is
the most appropriate measure, it considers FFO, given its wide use by and
relevance to investors and analysts, an appropriate supplemental measure. 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 reconciles net income to FFO for the
periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

(4) 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 any imperfections related to hedging correlation in these swaps is
reflected currently in cash as interest, the valuation adjustments are
excluded from funds from operations. The valuation adjustment is included
in interest expense.

(5) The Company acquired the equity interest of another investor in SunChamp in
December 2002. Consideration consisted of a long-term note payable at net
book value. Although the adjustment for the allocation of the SunChamp
losses is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements,
management believes that it is appropriate to provide for this adjustment
because the Company's payment obligations with respect to the note are
subordinate in all respects to the return of the members' equity (including
the gross book value of the acquired equity) plus a preferred return. As a
result, the losses that are allocated to the Company under generally
accepted accounting principles are effectively reallocated to the note for
purposes of calculating funds from operations.

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 $81.2 million and $176.1 million as of
June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which bears interest at various LIBOR/DMBS
rates. If LIBOR/DMBS increased or decreased by 1.00 percent during the six
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company believes its interest expense
would have increased or decreased by approximately $2.5 million and $2.5 million
based on the $245.9 million and $246.7 million average balance outstanding under
the Company's variable rate debt facilities for the six months ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively.

Additionally, the Company had $14.7 million and $30.6 million LIBOR based
variable rate mortgage and other notes receivables as of June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. If LIBOR increased or decreased by 1.0 percent during the six
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company believes interest income would
have increased or decreased by approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million based
on the $24.0 million and $28.8 million average balance outstanding on all
variable rate notes receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

The Company has entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements and an
interest rate cap agreement. One of these swap agreements fixes $25 million of
variable rate borrowings at 4.93 percent for the period April 2003 through July
2009, another of these swap agreements fixes $25 million of variable rate
borrowings at 5.37 percent for the period April 2003 through July 2012 and the
third swap agreement, which is only effective for so long as 90-day LIBOR is 7
percent or less, fixes $25 million of variable rate borrowings at 3.97 percent
for the period April 2003 through July 2007. The interest rate cap agreement has
a cap rate of 9.49 percent, a notional amount of $152.4 million and a
termination date of April 13, 2006. Each of the Company's derivative contracts
is based upon 90-day LIBOR.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Gary A. Shiffman, and
Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey P. Jorissen, the Company evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure
that information the Company is required to disclose in its filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that
it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
Company's management, including its principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.

(b) There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control
over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30,
2004, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
