AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands except per share and homesite data)

1.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business and Basis of Presentation

        Affordable Residential Communities Inc. (formerly known as ARC IV REIT, Inc.) is a Maryland corporation organized as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is engaged in the acquisition, renovation, repositioning and operation of manufactured home communities, the rental of manufactured homes, the retail sale of manufactured homes and other related businesses. We were organized in July of 1998 and operate primarily through Affordable Residential Communities LP (the "Operating Partnership") and its subsidiaries of which we are the sole general partner and owned approximately 94% at June 30, 2004.

        On February 18, 2004, we completed our initial public offering ("IPO") of 22,250 shares of our common stock at $19.00 per share (excluding 2,259 shares sold by selling stockholders) and 5,000 shares of our preferred stock priced at $25.00 per share. The proceeds net of the underwriting discount to the company from our IPO of common stock and preferred stock were $517.5 million before expenses. On March 17, 2004, we issued 792 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option generating net proceeds to the company of $14.0 million. In conjunction with the IPO, we also completed a financing transaction consisting of $500 million of new mortgage debt and the repayment of certain existing indebtedness. (See Note 6).

        With the proceeds from our IPO and the financing transaction, we acquired 87 manufactured home communities from Hometown America, L.L.C. ("Hometown"). We acquired an additional three communities on April 9, 2004 upon the completion of the mortgage debt loan assumption process. The 90 acquired communities are located in 24 states and total 26,406 homesites. The total purchase price for these communities and related assets was approximately $615.3 million including assumed indebtedness with a fair value of $93.1 million. (See Note 2).

        As of June 30, 2004, we owned 342 communities consisting of 71,058 homesites in 31 states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming) with occupancy of 79.6%. Our five largest markets are Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, with 10.4% of total homesites; Atlanta, Georgia, with 7.1% of total homesites; Salt Lake City, Utah, with 5.0% of total homesites; the Front Range of Colorado, with 4.6% of total homesites; and Jacksonville, Florida, with 3.6% of total homesites. We also conduct a retail home sales business.

        Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ARC". Our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ARCPRA". We have no public trading history prior to February 12, 2004.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts.

        In our opinion, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the interim financial statements and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of

6



the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of our accounts but include the results of operations of the manufactured home communities acquired from Hometown only for the periods subsequent to the completion of the transaction on February 18, 2004, and, for 11 of those communities, from the date subsequent to February 18, 2004 on which we closed the debt assumption. We have eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

        We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to current year presentation.

Rental and Other Property

        Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the various classes of rental property assets are primarily as follows:

Asset Class

  Estimated Useful
Lives (Years)

Manufactured home communities and improvements   10 to 30
Buildings   10 to 20
Rental homes   10
Furniture and other equipment   5
Computer software and hardware   3

        We carry rental property at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize significant renovations and improvements that substantially improve asset quality and/or extend the useful life of assets and depreciate them over their estimated remaining useful lives. We expense maintenance and repairs as incurred.

        We evaluate the recoverability of our investment in rental property whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that full asset recoverability is questionable. Our assessment of the recoverability of rental property includes, but is not limited to, recent operating results and expected net operating cash flows from future operations. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of rental property may be impaired, we perform an evaluation of recoverability in which we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a writedown is required. If this review indicates that the asset's carrying amount will not be fully recoverable, we would reduce the carrying value of the assets to their estimated fair value. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, no impairment conditions existed at any of our rental or other properties.

Restricted Stock Grants

        We have included a charge of $10,070 in general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 representing the value of the 530 common shares we granted at February 18, 2004 under our 2003 equity incentive plan that vested at the date of grant. In addition, we granted 95 common shares that vest over five years. We initially recorded the unvested portion of the 95 shares as unearned compensation on the balance sheet and will amortize them ratably over the vesting period. We valued the shares at $19.00 per share, the price at which we sold shares in the IPO.

        We consider the number of vested shares issued under our 2003 equity incentive plan as common stock outstanding and include them in the denominator of our calculation of basic earnings per share. We consider the total number of restricted shares granted under our 2003 equity incentive plan in the denominator of our calculation of diluted earnings per share if they would be dilutive. We return shares

7



forfeited during the periods to the 2003 equity incentive plan as shares eligible for future grants and adjust any compensation expense previously recorded on such shares in the period the forfeiture occurs. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, 43 common shares were forfeited.

Interest and Internal Cost Capitalization

        We capitalize our interest costs (using our average cost of borrowings) and internal costs (using actual time spent and related costs) on development of long-lived assets from the date we begin substantive activities through the date we place such assets into service in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 34, Capitalization of Interest and SFAS 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, respectively. The long-lived assets on which we capitalize interest include purchases of general construction activities in our communities, manufactured homes, and, in the case of the communities acquired in the Hometown acquisition, the cost of the vacant homesites we acquired on which we are making improvements and placing a manufactured home for rent or sale.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

        Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income represent gains on cash flow hedges which will be marked to market over the life of the debt being hedged.

2.     IPO and Hometown Acquisition

        On February 18, 2004, we completed our IPO of 22,250 shares of our common stock at $19.00 per share (excluding 2,259 shares sold by selling stockholders) and 5,000 shares of our preferred stock priced at $25.00 per share. The proceeds net of underwriting discount to the company from our IPO of common stock and preferred stock was $517.5 million before expenses. On March 17, 2004, we issued 792 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option generating net proceeds to the company of $14.0 million. Concurrent with the IPO we also completed the refinancing of $240 million of our mortgage debt and raised an additional $260 million of new mortgage debt. The new mortgage debt is comprised of $215.3 million of 10 year fixed rate debt at an interest cost of 5.53%, $100.7 million of 5 year fixed rate debt at an interest cost of 5.05% and $184.0 million of floating rate debt. (See Note 6). Proceeds from the IPO and new debt were used to purchase the Hometown communities, repay our Rental Home Credit Facility and redeem the Preferred Interest issued by one of our subsidiaries.

Cash purchase price   $ 522,131
Debt assumed in connection with the acquisition     93,139
   
Total preliminary purchase price   $ 615,270
   

        On February 18, 2004 and subsequent dates thereafter, we acquired 90 manufactured home communities from Hometown. The 90 acquired communities are located in 24 states and include 26,406 homesites. The total purchase price for all the communities we acquired is approximately $615,270 including assumed indebtedness with a fair value of $93,139. We will finalize our purchase price allocation when all acquisition costs are finalized.

        Our preliminary purchase price allocation is:

Land   $ 89,364
Rental and other property     492,300
Manufactured homes     12,625
Lease intangibles     811
Customer relationships     14,496
Notes receivable     5,674
   
Total preliminary purchase price allocation   $ 615,270
   

        We amortize the lease intangibles on a straight-line basis over the lease term (one year) and the customer relationships on a straight-line basis over the average life of a customer (five years). Accumulated amortization related to the Hometown intangibles acquired was $1,392 at June 30, 2004. Future amortization of the Hometown lease intangibles and customer relationship intangible assets is as follows:

2004   $ 1,855
2005     3,001
2006     2,899
2007     2,899
2008 and thereafter     3,261
   
Total   $ 13,915
   

        We assumed management of the Hometown communities prior to our completion of the Hometown acquisition pursuant to a management agreement. We hired all Hometown employees actively employed at the Hometown communities on January 1, 2004, with Hometown reimbursing us for the costs associated with such employment until we completed the acquisition.

D. A. M. Portfolio Acquisition

        On June 30, 2004 we acquired 36 manufactured home communities from D.A.M. MASTER ENTITY, L.P. The communities are located in 3 states and include 3,573 homesites. The total purchase price (including the costs of manufactured homes) was approximately $65,503 including assumed indebtedness with a fair value of $29,722. In addition to cash and the assumption of debt, this acquisition was funding through the issuance of new Series "B", "C" and "D" Partnership Preferred Units ("PPU"s) totaling $33,142. The "D" series PPU's totaling $8,000 were redeemed for cash on July 6, 2004. See note 3 for further discussion of the PPUs.

        Our preliminary purchase price allocation is:

Land   $ 9,225  
Rental and other property     55,501  
Manufactured homes     803  
Customer relationships     52  
Other assets/liabilities, net     (78 )
   
 
Total preliminary purchase price allocation   $ 65,503  
   
 

        We have prepared the following unaudited pro forma income statement information as if the Hometown and D.A.M. acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2003. The pro forma data is not

3.     Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Minority Interest Related Transactions

        We issued a total of 16,973 common shares and 2,726 OP Units in several transactions between September 1998 and December 31, 2003. On August 9, 2000, we issued warrants to certain shareholders authorizing the purchase of up to 704 shares of common stock at $20.77 per share that expire on July 23, 2010. To date, no warrants have been exercised.

        On January 23, 2004 our stockholders approved a reverse stock split by which all our stockholders received 0.519 shares of common stock for every share of common stock they owned. As a result, we have restated all historical share, warrant and per share data to give effect to this reverse stock split.

        On February 18, 2004, we completed our IPO of 22,250 shares of our common stock (excluding 2,259 shares sold by selling stockholders). In connection with our IPO, 315 OP Units were converted into common stock. On March 17, 2004, we issued 792 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option. At June 30, 2004, we had 40,952 shares of common stock outstanding.

        On June 14, 2004, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.3125 per share of common stock and OP Units. We paid the total common stock dividend of $13,551 on July 15, 2004 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2004. In addition, on June 14, 2004 we declared a dividend of $0.5156 on each share of our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable July 30, 2004 to shareholders of record on July 15, 2004. As of June 30, 2004, we had accrued $1,719 of the preferred stock dividend, representing the portion of dividend earned by preferred shareholders through that date.

        At June 30, 2004, minority interest consisted of 2,412 units of limited partnership interest of Affordable Residential Communities LP, our Operating Partnership ("OP Units") that were issued to various limited partners and 1,006 units of Partnership Preferred Units ("PPUs") issued as part of the D.A.M. portfolio acquisition. Each OP Unit issued is paired with 1.9268 shares of our special voting stock (each a "Paired Equity Unit") that allows each OP Unit Holder to vote on matters as if it were a

10



common share of our stock. Each OP Unit is redeemable for cash or at our election, one share of our common stock.

        The PPUs were issued as of June 30, 2004 and consist of Series "B" and Series "C". The Series "B" PPUs, 300 units of which were issued, carry a liquidation preference of $25 per unit and earn cash distributions at the rate of 6.25% per annum, payable quarterly. The Series "B" PPUs can be redeemed for cash after the fifth anniversary of the issuance at the option of the Operating Partnership. Series "B" unit holders can request redemption of their units after the 1st anniversary of their issuance at which time the Partnership must redeem the PPUs or repurchase them with common stock or with cash and a note payable, at the Operating Partnerships option.

        The Series "C" PPUs, 706 units of which were issued, carry a liquidation preference of $25 per unit and earn cash distributions at the rate of 6.25% per annum, payable quarterly. The Series "C" PPUs can be redeemed for cash after the fifth anniversary of the issuance at the option of the Operating Partnership. Series "C" unit holders can request redemption of their units after the two and a half year anniversary of their issuance at which time the Operating Partnership must redeem the PPUs or repurchase them with common stock or with cash and a note payable, at the Operating Partnership's option. Series "B" and "C" units have the same priority as to the payment of distributions.

        As a result of our IPO and the conversion of 315 OP Units into common stock, we have recorded an equity transfer adjustment among stockholders' equity (additional paid-in capital) and minority interest in our Consolidated Balance Sheet to account for the change in the respective ownership in the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership.

        We have capitalized interest and internal costs of $1,709 and $2,358 in the cost of land and building improvements and manufactured home purchases for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.

5.     Acquisitions

        During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, in addition to the Hometown and D.A.M. portfolio acquisitions, we acquired four and two manufactured home communities, respectively, from unaffiliated third parties for approximately $12,856 in cash in 2004, and $4,746 in cash and $4,294 in assumed debt in 2003. We have accounted for the acquisitions utilizing the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We allocated the majority of the purchase price to the rental property and intangible assets, including customer relationships and in-place leases.

Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage Due 2012

        We entered into the Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage on May 2, 2002. It is an obligation of certain of our special purpose real property subsidiaries and is collateralized by 105 manufactured home communities. The Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.35% per annum, amortizes over 30 years and matures on May 1, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage, we have established reserves relating to the mortgaged properties for real estate taxes, insurance, capital spending (included in loan reserves) and property operating expenditures (included in cash and cash equivalents). The Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage contains customary defeasance-based prepayment penalties for repayments made prior to maturity.

Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage Due 2014

        We entered into the Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage due 2014 on February 18, 2004, in connection with the completion of our IPO, the financing transaction and the Hometown acquisition. The lenders adjusted the mortgage facility amount prior to completing their secondary market transactions. The mortgage facility is an obligation of certain real property subsidiaries of our operating partnership and is collateralized by 46 manufactured home communities owned by these subsidiaries. The Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage due 2014 bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.53%, will amortize based on a 30-year schedule and will mature on March 1, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the new senior fixed rate mortgage due 2014, we have established reserves relating to the mortgaged properties for real estate taxes, insurance, capital spending and property operating expenditures. The Senior Fixed Rate

15



Mortgage due 2014 contains customary defeasance-based prepayment penalties for repayments made prior to maturity.

Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage Due 2009

        We entered into the Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage due 2009 of $100,676 on February 18, 2004, in connection with the completion of our IPO, the financing transaction and the Hometown acquisition. The lenders adjusted the mortgage facility amount prior to completing their secondary market transactions. The mortgage facility is an obligation of certain real property subsidiaries of our operating partnership and is collateralized by 29 manufactured home communities owned by these subsidiaries. The Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage due 2009 bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.05%, will be amortized based on a 30-year amortization schedule and will mature on March 1, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage due 2009, we have established reserves relating to the mortgaged properties for real estate taxes, insurance, capital spending and property operating expenditures. The Senior Fixed Rate Mortgage due 2009 contains customary defeasance-based prepayment penalties for repayments made prior to maturity.

Senior Variable Rate Mortgage Due 2006

        We entered into the Senior Variable Rate Mortgage due 2006 of $184,011 on February 18, 2004, in connection with the completion of our IPO, the financing transaction and the Hometown acquisition. This mortgage facility is an obligation of certain real property subsidiaries of our operating partnership and is collateralized by 44 manufactured home communities owned by these subsidiaries. The Senior Variable Rate Mortgage bears interest at a variable rate based upon a spread of 3.00% over the one-month LIBOR rate (4.24% at June 30, 2004) and will mature in February 2006. At our option and subject to certain conditions, we may extend the Senior Variable Rate Mortgage for three additional 12-month periods. In connection with the second and third extensions, we would be required to pay extension fees of 0.25% and 0.375%, respectively, of the principal balance outstanding. We purchased interest rate caps to limit our interest costs in the event of increases in one-month LIBOR above 5.00%, and will also purchase such caps for any extensions. We will incur an exit fee equal to 0.50% of the loan amount payable upon any repayment of the principal amount of the loan. The exit fee will be subject to reduction by an amount equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of any first mortgage loans provided by the lenders to refinance the Senior Variable Rate Mortgage due 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Variable Rate Mortgage, we have established reserves relating to the mortgaged properties for real estate taxes, insurance, capital spending and property operating expenditures. We may repay the Senior Variable Rate Mortgage subject to payment of a LIBOR based yield maintenance prepayment penalty of the product of 0.25%, the number of payment dates remaining to maturity and the amount being repaid for prepayments made in months one through twelve and a prepayment fee of 1% for prepayments made in months 13 to 24.

Senior Variable Rate Mortgage Due 2005

        We entered into the Senior Variable Rate Mortgage on May 2, 2002. It was an obligation of one of our subsidiaries and was collateralized by 71 manufactured home communities. The floating rate debt bore interest at a variable rate calculated as the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.85% (3.97% as of December 31, 2003), amortized over 30 years and would have matured on May 2, 2005.

        On February 18, 2004, concurrent with our IPO, we repaid the Senior Variable Rate Mortgage in full and incurred $1,906 in debt extinguishment costs, included in early termination of debt.

16



BFND Credit Facility

        One of our subsidiaries, ARC4BFND, L.L.C., entered into a $150 million credit facility on November 14, 2000, (the "BFND Credit Facility"). Proceeds from the BFND Credit Facility were available for community acquisitions and anticipated capital expenditures with advances up to 70% of the purchase price and related costs.

        On February 18, 2004, concurrent with our IPO, we repaid the BFND Credit Facility in full and incurred $786 in debt extinguishment costs, included in early termination of debt.

Various Individual Fixed Rate Mortgages

        We have assumed various individual fixed rate mortgages in connection with the acquisition of various properties that were encumbered at the time of acquisition as follows:

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

        We entered into the senior revolving credit facility on February 18, 2004, that has a total commitment of $125 million, and an initial term of three years. No amounts were outstanding at June 30, 2004. The facility is an obligation of our Operating Partnership, is secured by 40 communities owned by a real property subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, our rental homes, and certain other assets, and borrowings under the facility are limited by specified borrowing base requirements related to the value of the assets securing the facility. The interest rate on borrowings under the facility is variable and will be determined at the time the advance is made, at a spread of between 1.375% and 2.50% over the then-current base rate of Citibank, N.A. or a spread of between 2.375% and 3.50% over then-current LIBOR, with the actual spread being determined within the specified range based upon the borrower's then-current leverage ratio. The facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants imposing limitations on the ability of the borrower and the company to make distributions to OP unit holders and stockholders if certain cash flow, leverage and debt service coverage requirements are not met.

        In August we cancelled the revolving credit facility and obtained a commitment for a revolving credit mortgage facility for borrowings of up to $85 million. We expect this mortgage loan will be an obligation of a subsidiary of our Operating Partnership and will be secured by the same 40 communities that secured the revolving credit facility as well as additional communities acquired subsequent to the IPO. Advances under this mortgage loan will be limited by borrowing base requirements related to the value and cash flow of the communities securing the loan. We expect that this mortgage loan will bear interest at one month LIBOR plus 2.95% (4.55% at August 13, 2004) and have an initial term of one year. We expect to incur a commitment fee of 0.5% at closing and an origination fee of 0.5% payable with each advance. The commitment of the lender to complete the revolving credit mortgage facility

17



loan is subject to negotiation of definitive documentation and there is no assurance that the revolving credit mortgage facility will be completed.

        We entered into the retail home sales and consumer finance debt facility on February 18, 2004, that has a total commitment of $225 million and a term of four years. This facility is an obligation of a subsidiary of our Operating Partnership and will be secured by manufactured housing conditional sales contracts. Advances under the facility are limited by specified borrowing base requirements related to the value of the collateral securing the facility. The facility bears interest at a variable rate based upon a spread of 3.00% over the one-month LIBOR rate (4.24% at June 30, 2004). This facility will include customary affirmative and negative covenants, including minimum GAAP tangible net worth and maximum leverage covenants. Upon the initial drawing under this facility, we will pay a commitment fee of 1.00% on the committed amount and additional annual commitment fees payable on each anniversary of the closing. Advances under the facility will be subject to a number of conditions, including certain underwriting and credit screening guidelines and the conditions that the home must be located in one of our communities, the loan term may not exceed 12 years for a single-section home or 15 years for a multi-section home and the loan amount shall not exceed 90% of the value of the home securing the conditional sales contract.

        The availability of advances under the retail home sales and consumer finance debt facility is subject to certain conditions that are beyond our control. Conditions that could result in our inability to draw on these facilities include a downgrade in the credit rating of the lender and the absence of certain markets for financing debt obligations secured by securities or mortgage loans. Funding under this facility may also be denied if the lender determines that the value of the assets serving as collateral would be insufficient to maintain the required 75% loan-to-value ratio upon giving effect to a request for funding. The lender can also at any time require that we prepay amounts funded or provide additional collateral if in its judgment this is necessary to maintain the 75% loan-to-value ratio.

Preferred Interest

        The Preferred Interest was an obligation of ARC Real Estate Holdings, LLC ("ARC RE"), an indirect subsidiary of our Operating Partnership formed for the purpose of issuing the Preferred Interest and owning, indirectly, our real estate subsidiaries and certain other assets. We entered into the Preferred Interest on May 2, 2002. The Preferred Interest had a preferred distribution rate of 12.5% per annum. On October 17, 2003, we modified our Preferred Interest to increase our borrowing limit by $25,000 with a preferred distribution rate of 14.0% to apply to all outstanding balances beginning on the date of the first draw of the additional loan amount.

        On February 18, 2004, concurrent with our IPO, we repaid the Preferred Interest obligation in full and incurred $3,400 in extinguishment costs, included in early termination of debt.

Rental Home Credit Facility

        On December 31, 2002, ARC Housing, L.L.C., a subsidiary of ARC RE, entered into a $27,000 credit facility collateralized by rental homes (the "Rental Home Credit Facility"). Proceeds from the Rental Unit Credit Facility were available for acquisitions of rental homes and related capital expenditures. The Rental Unit Credit Facility matured on February 1, 2010, bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 4.7% (approximately 5.82% at December 31, 2003), required level monthly principal and interest payments of $421 beginning February 1, 2003, and was secured by 3,339 rental homes. The principal amount of the note amortized over seven years at a stated interest rate of 8.0%. We fully funded the Rental Home Credit Facility on January 3, 2003.

        On February 18, 2004, concurrent with our IPO, we repaid the Rental Home Credit Facility in full and incurred $235 in debt extinguishment costs, included in early termination of debt.

Floorplan Lines of Credit

        Through our retail home sales subsidiary, we have two lines of credit that provide borrowings secured by manufactured homes in inventory. Repayment is due upon sale of the related manufactured home. They bear interest that ranges from the prime rate plus 1.90% to the prime rate plus 3.75% (8.00% at June 30, 2004). Curtailment payments are required for unsold homes beginning on the 121+ day to 571+ day range depending on the type of home being financed. The required payment is generally 3% of the home's original invoice and is paid monthly. Either party may terminate the floorplan lines of credit upon 30 days written notice. A portion of our existing new inventory is collateral for the floor plan line of credit.

        In August we obtained a commitment to amend our floor plan lines of credit to provide borrowings of up to $50 million, secured by manufactured homes in inventory. Under the amended line of credit, the lender would advance 90% of the cost of manufactured homes for up to $40 million in advances, with the remaining $10 million in advances made at 75% of costs. Repayment will be due upon sale or lease of the related manufactured home. We expect that the advances under the amended line of credit will bear interest ranging from the prime rate plus .75% to the prime rate plus 4.00%, depending upon the length of time each advance has been outstanding (5.00% to 8.25% as of August 14, 2004). Monthly curtailment payments will be required for unsold homes beginning 360 days following the purchase of the home. The required curtailment payment will be between 3.00% and 5.00% of the home's original invoice depending on the type of home and the number of months since the home's purchase. The amended line of credit will require our Operating Partnership to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $500 million, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 3 to 1, and minimum cash and cash equivalents of $15 million. The line of credit is subject to a commitment fee of $250, an unused line fee of .25% per annum and a termination fee of 3.00% to 1.00% for termination in years one to three, respectively. Completion of the amended floor plan line of credit is subject to certain conditions, including negotiation of definitive documents and there is no assurance that the amended floor plan line of credit will be completed.

In connection with the sale, we repaid $10,259 of our senior variable rate mortgage indebtedness due 2005 related to this community. We have included in discontinued operations $423 and $926 of revenue for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 previously included in revenue for the real estate segment.

12.   Commitments and Contingencies

        In the normal course of business, from time to time we are involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of our properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or our results of operations or liquidity.

Net segment income represents total revenues less expenses for property operations, real estate taxes, cost of manufactured homes sold and retail home sales, finance, insurance and other operations. Net segment income is a measure of the performance of the properties before the effects of the following expenses: property management, general and administrative, IPO related costs, depreciation, amortization, and interest expense.

14.   Subsequent Events

        On July 20, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the Western Mobile Estates manufactured home community located in West Valley City, Utah, comprising 145 homesites. The total purchase price of $3,800 included $3,759 in seller financing.

        On May 14, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sell three communities, Sea Pines, Camden Point and Butler Creek, to an unaffiliated third party for a total sales price of $5,900 subject to the buyer's completion of due diligence. On August 16, 2004, the prospective buyer terminated the sale agreement under the terms of the contract. We expect to sell these communities at a later date although there can be no assurance that we will do so.

        In July we entered into a real estate auction agreement to sell twelve communities. The auction is presently scheduled for September, resulting in closings of the sale transactions during the fourth quarter of 2004. There can be no assurance that these will be completed.

        In August we cancelled the senior revolving credit facility and obtained commitments for a revolving credit mortgage facility for borrowings up to $85 million and an amendment to our existing floorplan line of credit to provide for borrowings up to $50 million. Each of these commitments is subject to certain conditions, including negotiation of difinitive documents, and there is no assurance that the revolving credit mortgage facility or the amended floor- plan line of credit will close. (See note 6).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated historical financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the financial information set forth in the tables below. All amounts in the following discussion are in thousands except per share and homesite data.

        This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning property acquisitions and dispositions, development activity and capital expenditures, capital raising activities, rent growth, occupancy, and rental expense growth. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Affordable Residential Communities Inc. to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, unanticipated adverse business developments affecting us, or our properties, adverse changes in the real estate markets and general and local economies and business conditions. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore such statements included in this report may not prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as representations by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the company will be achieved.

GENERAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

        We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed equity REIT focused primarily on the acquisition, renovation, repositioning and operation of all-age manufactured home communities. We also conduct certain complementary business activities focused on improving and maintaining occupancy in our communities, including the rental of manufactured homes, the retail sale of manufactured homes, the financing of sales of manufactured homes and acting as agent in the sale of homeowners' insurance and other related insurance products. We conduct substantially all of our activities through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner and in which we hold an approximate 94% ownership interest.

        Beginning in 1995, our co-founders founded several companies under the name "Affordable Residential Communities" or "ARC" for the purpose of engaging in the business of acquiring, renovating, repositioning and operating manufactured home communities, as well as certain related businesses. We were formed in July 1998 as a Maryland corporation for the purpose of acting as the investment vehicle for and a co-general partner of our Operating Partnership, the fourth real property partnership organized and operated by our co-founders. In May 2002, we completed a reorganization in which we acquired substantially all the other real property partnerships and other related businesses organized and operated by our co-founders.

        On February 18, 2004, we completed our initial public offering. We issued 24.5 million shares of common stock at $19.00 per share in which selling shareholders offered 2.3 million shares. On March 18, 2004, our underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 0.8 million shares of common stock at $19.00 per share. Concurrent with the IPO, we raised $125 million of gross proceeds through the issuance of 5.0 million shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

24



        In connection with the IPO we completed the following additional transactions:

On June 30, 2004 we acquired 36 manufactured home communities from the D.A.M. MASTER ENTITY, L.P. The communities are located in 3 states and include 3,573 homesites. The total purchase price (including the costs of manufactured homes) was approximately $65,503 including assumed indebtedness with a fair value of $29,722.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

        For the three months ended June 30, 2004, funds from operations available to common stockholders (FFO) was $9.3 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, net loss available to common stockholders was $7.1 million or $0.17 per share as compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $8.5 million or $0.50 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2003. On a same community basis, revenue in our real estate segment was up 2.0% to $36.8 million from $36.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. Same community expenses increased 9.8% to $15.1 million from $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. As a result, same communities real estate net segment income decreased 2.8% to $21.6 million from $22.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2004, funds from operations available to common stockholders (FFO) was $(12.4) million. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net loss available to common stockholders was $42.1 million or $1.21 diluted loss per share as compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $16.9 million or $1.00 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our results in the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflect the inclusion of one-time charges of $27.9 million related to our IPO, acquisition of certain assets from Hometown America LLC and the repayment of certain indebtedness. On a same community basis, revenue in our real estate segment was up 2.8% to $73.7 million from $71.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. Same community expenses increased 6.1% to $29.2 million from $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. As a result, same communities real estate net segment income increased 0.1% to $44.4 million from $44.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. See FFO and Real Estate Net Segment Income included hereinafter in this section for definitions of FFO and real estate net segment income and for reconciliations of real estate net segment income to net loss $42.1 million, the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

        Our results for the six months of 2004 were impacted by a series of one-time charges totaling $27.9 million related to our recent activities. The primary components of the charges include: (i) restricted stock grant of $10.1 million, (ii) write-off of loan origination costs and exit fees associated

25



with the repayment of indebtedness of $13.4 million and (iii) IPO related costs of $4.4 million. These costs will not impact future reporting periods.

        Total portfolio occupancy averaged 79.8% and 80.5% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 respectively. Average occupancy for same communities decreased from 86.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 82.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, total average portfolio occupancy decreased from 87.1% in 2003 to 80.5% in 2004. The decreases are due mainly to lenders moving repossessed homes out of the communities, the lack of available chattel lending and to the HTA acquisition.

        As of December 31, 2003, the ARC and Hometown communities had occupancy of 83.3% and 75.3%, respectively, or 80.1% on a combined basis. At the end of June 30, 2004, the ARC, Hometown and D.A.M. communities had occupancy of 81.3%, 75.4% and 91.6%, respectively, or 79.6% on a combined basis.

        The following additional factors are impacting our occupancy:

        During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we ordered 2,108 new homes, of which 1,508 have been delivered. On June 30, 2004, our total home inventory was 8,522 homes, including the approximately 1,100 homes acquired in the Hometown acquisition.

        We expect increased sales and leasing activity in the coming months due to our focus on affordable price points, increased training and marketing and the availability of chattel financing through our finance program. In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 we sold 128 and 155 manufactured homes from our home inventory, respectively, and funded 31 home loans in the second quarter of 2004.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

        On July 20, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the Western Mobile Estates manufactured home community located in West Valley City, Utah, comprising 145 homesites. The total purchase price of $3,800 included $3,759 in seller financing.

        We have entered into an agreement to sell three communities -Sea Pines, Camden Point and Butler Creek- to an unaffiliated third party for a total sales price of $5,900 subject to the buyer's completion of due diligence. On August 16, 2004, the prospective buyer terminated the sale agreement under the terms of the contract. We expect to sell these communities at a later date although there can be no assurance that we will do so.

        In July we entered into a real estate auction agreement to sell twelve communities. The auction is presently scheduled for September, resulting in closings of the sale transactions during the fourth quarter of 2004. There can be no assurance that these will be completed.

        We may also sell additional communities that are located in markets where we do not have sufficient concentration, that do not have long-term prospects meeting our return and growth objectives or that have high enough sales proceeds as to enhance shareholder value through redeployment of proceeds. We have not entered into any specific plans at this time, however, and there can be no assurance that we will complete any of such community sales.

        In August we cancelled the senior revolving credit facility and obtained commitments for a revolving credit mortgage facility for borrowings up to $85 million and an amendment to our existing floorplan line of credit to provide for borrowings up to $50 million. Each of these commitments is subject to certain conditions, including negotiation of definitive documents, and there is no assurance that the revolving credit mortgage facility or the amended floor-plan line of credit will close. (See note 6 of the financial statements).

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, AND OPERATING STRATEGIES

        We continue to believe our industry needs to re-address its fundamental competitive advantage—affordability. We believe that we can provide a clean, attractive and affordable place to live that generates profits for our investors, is competitive with other forms of housing and provides real value and service to our residents. And to that end, we have built a business plan that provides affordability and value in the home, in the financing and in our communities. We have focused on (i) the roll-out of our in-community sales program, (ii) the roll-out of our consumer finance program and (iii) the integration of the Hometown acquisition in terms of human resources, capital expenditures and information systems.

        With respect to our occupancy programs, our primary tools are (i) our rental home program, including our lease with option to purchase program (ii) our for-sale inventory and (iii) our consumer finance program. Our focus is to utilize our community managers, leasing managers and district level marketing managers to make (i) cash sales of vacant used homes, used rental homes coming off lease and newly purchased repossessions, (ii) home leases with option to purchase, and (iii) standard home leases. Through Enspire, our in-community sales and finance company, we are focusing on sale of new and used home sales at price greater than $15,000.

        With respect to property management, we have expanded our district management infrastructure from seven districts to 12 districts to reflect the increase of approximately 30,000 homesites to our overall portfolio. Our integration priorities for the portfolio include our human resources, training, IT systems and capital expenditure projects. Through the present time, we have replaced a majority of the community managers from the acquired Hometown communities causing delays in driving our occupancy programs.

27



        We have many of our projected capital expenditure projects underway in the communities acquired from Hometown. Our capital expenditure projects are focused on preparing homesites for new home deliveries, addressing deferred maintenance, including tree trimming, trash removal, basic landscaping and resident homesite cleanup and improving amenities in order to meet our quality standards. We do not expect homesite upgrades and preparation to be a limiting factor in our ability to place rental homes and for-sale homes into our communities.

        We expect to increase rents in approximately 90% of our communities in 2004, including the Hometown communities. Approximately 90% of these increases have been implemented. Our average rent increase has been approximately 3.8%.

THE PROPERTIES

        As of June 30, 2004, our portfolio consisted of 342 manufactured home communities comprising 71,058 homesites located in 31 states and 86 markets, generally oriented toward all-age living. Our five largest markets are Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, with 10.4% of total homesites; Atlanta, Georgia, with 7.1% of total homesites; Salt Lake City, Utah, with 5.0% of total homesites; the Front Range of Colorado, with 4.6% of total homesites; and Jacksonville, Florida, with 3.6% of total homesites.

        As of June 30, 2004, our communities had an occupancy rate of 79.6%, and the average monthly rental income per occupied homesite was $316. Leases for homeowners are generally month-to-month, or in limited cases year-to-year, and require security deposits. In the case of our residents renting homes from us, lease terms are typically one year, and require a security deposit.

(5)
Real estate net segment income provides a measure of rental operations that does not include property management, depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. We present real estate net segment income because we consider it an important supplemental measure of the operating performance of our communities and believe it is frequently used by lenders, securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present real estate net segment income when reporting their results. Real estate net segment income is defined as income from rental and other property and manufactured homes less expenses for property operations and real estate taxes. Real estate net segment income does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs,

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2003

        Overview.    Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003 include the operations of the 90 communities acquired from Hometown comprising 26,406 homesites acquired in 2004 and, accordingly, are not included in our operations for the second quarter of 2003. In addition to the effects of the Hometown acquisition, our results for the three months ended June 30, 2004 also reflect the effects on our operations of the seven other community acquisitions we completed between January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004. The D.A.M. portfolio acquisition was completed on June 30, 2004 and has no material impact on our results for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

        Revenue.    Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $59,237 compared to $44,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $15,193, or 34%. This increase is due to an increase of $18,342 in rental income and a decrease of $3,149 in other revenue consisting of sales of manufactured homes and utility and other income and net consumer finance interest income.

        The rental income increase of $18,342 is primarily due to $17,542 from the Hometown acquisition, $280 from other community acquisitions and corporate activity and $520 from same communities. The increase in same communities revenues is due to $1,765 from increased rental rates and $1,160 from home renter rental income partially offset by $2,405 from lower occupancy.

        The decrease in other income of $3,149 is due to a $5,235 decrease in sales of manufactured homes partially offset by a $2,082 increase in utility and other income and $4 in net consumer finance interest income. Sales of manufactured homes decreased to 128 units from 177 units due primarily to our closing of 19 retail dealerships in 2003 in connection with redirecting our retail home sales business to focus exclusively on sale of homes within our communities. We expect sales of manufactured homes to increase in conjunction with our in-community retail home sales and financing initiative.

        Property Operations Expense.    For the three months ended June 30, 2004 total property operations expenses were $19,460, as compared to $11,339 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $8,121, or 72%. The increase is due to increases in expenses of $6,975 from the Hometown acquisition and $246 from other community acquisitions and corporate activity, and $900 from same communities. The increase from same communities is due primarily to increases in salaries and benefits of $571, repairs and maintenance expense of $233 and insurance expenses of $117.

        Real Estate Taxes Expense.    Real estate taxes expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was $4,354, as compared to $2,520 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $1,834 or 73%. The increase is due primarily to the Hometown acquisition, other community acquisitions and an increase in same communities in the number of rental homes we own.

        Cost of Manufactured Homes Sold.    The cost of manufactured homes sold was $1,861 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $5,861 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $4,000, or 68%. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease in sales of manufactured homes. The gross margin in manufactured homes sold decreased to 11% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

        Retail Home Sales, Finance and Insurance Expense.    For the three months ended June 30, 2004 total retail home sales, finance, insurance and other operations expenses were $1,763 as compared to $2,102 for three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $339 or 16%. This decrease is due to lower sales of manufactured homes and a lower cost structure as a result of eliminating the costs of maintaining stand-alone retail stores partially offset by the setup and early operating costs of our in-community sales and consumer finance operation.

32



        Property Management Expense.    Property management expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were $1,600, as compared to $1,382 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $218, or 16%. The increase is due primarily to the expansion from seven to twelve district offices and the related staffing costs for the new districts in connection with the Hometown and D.A.M. acquisitions and the resultant increase in our community portfolio.

        General and Administrative Expense.    General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was $4,304 as compared to $3,680 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $624, or 17%. The increase was due primarily to higher salaries and benefits costs of $513, or 25%, $253 of which is severance costs incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2004, higher insurance costs of $43 or 44%, and higher postage and office supplies of $116, or 138%, partially offset by reduced rent costs of $143, or 62%.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense.    Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $18,337 as compared to $12,930 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $5,407, or 42%. The increase is due primarily to increased depreciation on communities acquired in the Hometown acquisition, other community acquisitions and manufactured home acquisitions.

        Interest Expense.    Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $12,981, as compared to $14,630 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,649, or 11%. The decrease is due to lower interest rates on the variable rate debt and $1,235 of interest we capitalized related to the development of long-lived assets partially offset by interest paid on our increased level of borrowings.

        Interest Income.    Interest earned on notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and loan reserves increased by $50 from $404 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $454 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase is due to the larger cash balances resulting from the IPO and the financing transaction.

        Minority Interest.    Minority interest for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $421, as compared to $1,389 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $968, or 70%. The decrease was due partially to the lower loss before allocation to minority interest and a decrease in minority interest share of net loss to 5.6% after our IPO from 13.9% for the periods prior to our IPO.

        Discontinued Operations.    During the year ended December 31, 2003, we sold the Sunrise Mesa community located in Apache Junction, Arizona. Accordingly, we have reflected its income from operations of $93 and related minority interest of $13 as discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

33


        Preferred Stock Dividend.    As of June 30, 2004, the ARC Board of Directors had declared a $0.515625 dividend on each of the 5,000,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, payable July 30, 2004, amounting to $2,578 that we have accrued through June 30, 2004.

        Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders.    As a result of the foregoing, our net loss available to common stockholders was $7,126 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $8,527 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,401, or 16%.

        The following table presents certain information relative to our real estate segment as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. "Same Communities" reflects information for all communities owned by us at both January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004. "Same Communities" does not include the Hometown acquisition, the D.A.M. portfolio acquisition nor the seven other communities comprising 1,275 homesites that we acquired subsequent to January 1, 2003.

Real estate net segment income provides a measure of rental operations that does not include property management, depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. We present real estate net segment income because we consider it an important supplemental measure of the operating performance of our communities and believe it is frequently used by lenders, securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present real estate net segment income when reporting their results. Real estate net segment income is defined as income from rental and other property and manufactured homes less expenses for property operations and real estate taxes. Real estate net segment income does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the repayment of principal on debt and payment of dividends on common and preferred stock. Real estate net segment income should not be considered a substitute for net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) nor a measure of results of operations or cash flows (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

        Overview.    Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003 include the operations of the 90 communities acquired from Hometown comprising 26,406 homesites from the date of acquisition, February 18, 2004 through June 30, 2004 and, accordingly, are not included in our operations for the first six months of 2003. In addition to the effects of the Hometown acquisition, our results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 also reflect the effects on our operations of the seven other community acquisitions we completed between January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004. The D.A.M. portfolio acquisition was completed on June 30, 2004 and has no material impact on our results for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

        Revenue.    Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $104,707 compared to $86,890 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $17,817 or 21%. This increase is due to an increase of $26,710 in rental income and a decrease of $8,893 in other revenue consisting of sales of manufactured homes, utility and other income and net consumer finance interest income.

        The rental income increase of $26,710 is due to $24,603 from the Hometown acquisition, $602 from other community acquisitions and corporate activity and $1,505 from same communities. The increase in same communities revenues is due to $3,719 from increased rental rates and $2,369 from home renter rental income partially offset by $4,583 from lower occupancy.

        The decrease in other income of $8,893 is due to a $10,895 decrease in sales of manufactured homes partially offset by a $2,002 increase in utility and other income and net consumer finance interest income. Sales of manufactured homes decreased to 155 units from 318 units due primarily to our closing of 19 retail dealerships in 2003 in connection with redirecting our retail home sales business to focus exclusively on sale of homes within our communities. We expect sales of manufactured homes to increase in conjunction with our in-community retail home sales and financing initiative.

        Property Operations Expense.    For the six months ended June 30, 2004 total property operations expenses were $33,001, as compared to $22,486 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $10,515, or 47%. The increase is due to increases in expenses of $9,225 from the Hometown acquisition, $411 from other community acquisitions and corporate activity and $879 from same communities. The increase from same communities is due primarily to higher salaries and benefits of $693 or 11% and higher repairs and maintenance costs of $408 or 13%, partially offset by lower professional fees of $200 or 36%.

        Real Estate Taxes Expense.    Real estate taxes expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $7,851, as compared to $5,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $2,683 or 52%.

36



The increase is due primarily to the Hometown acquisition, other community acquisitions and an increase in same communities in the number of rental homes we own.

        Cost of Manufactured Homes Sold.    The cost of manufactured homes sold was $2,455 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $10,789 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $8,334, or 77%. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease in sales of manufactured homes. The gross margin in manufactured homes sold decreased to 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

        Retail Home Sales, Finance, Insurance and Other Operations Expense.    For the six months ended June 30, 2004 total retail home sales, finance, insurance and other operations expenses were $2,343 as compared to $4,470 for six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $2,127 or 48%. This decrease is due to lower sales of manufactured homes and a lower cost structure as a result of eliminating the costs of maintaining stand-alone retail stores, partially offset by the initial set-up costs of our new in-community sales and consumer finance business.

        Property Management Expense.    Property management expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $3,054, as compared to $2,568 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $486, or 19%. The increase is due primarily to the expansion from seven to twelve district offices and the related staffing costs for the new districts in connection with the Hometown and D.A.M. acquisitions and the resultant increase in our community portfolio.

        General and Administrative Expense.    General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $19,108, as compared to $8,050 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $11,058, or 137%. The increase was due primarily to a one-time charge to salaries and benefits of $10,070 incurred in conjunction with the IPO in which we granted 530 shares of restricted stock that vested immediately. The remaining increase in other costs is due primarily to severance of $474 incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2004, higher travel costs of $255 or 31% and insurance costs of $179 or 87%.

        IPO Related Costs.    During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we incurred $4,417 in organization and other costs directly related to the IPO. These costs included legal fees, third party due diligence costs, travel expenses, transfer taxes, filing fees and other miscellaneous items.

        Early termination of debt.    During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we wrote off $7,100 of loan origination costs and incurred expense of $6,327 from the payment of exit fees from the repayment of debt in the financing transaction.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense.    Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $33,997 as compared to $25,485 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $8,512, or 33%. The increase is due primarily to increased depreciation on communities acquired in the Hometown acquisition, other community acquisitions and manufactured home acquisitions.

        Interest Expense.    Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $27,665, as compared to $28,509 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $844, or 3%. The decrease is due to lower interest rates on the variable rate debt and $1,778 of interest we capitalized related to the development of long-lived assets, partially offset by the Hometown acquisition and the related refinancing activities, which increased our outstanding debt by $136,335.

        Interest Income.    Interest earned on notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and loan reserves increased by $92, from $750 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $842 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase is due to the larger cash balances resulting from the IPO and the financing transaction.

37



        Minority Interest.    Minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $3,484 as compared to $2,752 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $732, or 27%. The increase was due primarily to the minority interest share of our increase in loss before allocation to minority interest partially offset by a decrease in minority interest share of net loss to 5.6% after our IPO from 13.9% for the periods prior to our IPO.

        Discontinued Operations.    During the year ended December 31, 2003, we sold the Sunrise Mesa community located in Apache Junction, Arizona. Accordingly, we have reflected its income from operations of $239 and related minority interest of $33 as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

        Preferred Stock Dividend.    As of June 30, 2004, the ARC Board of Directors had declared a $0.4182 dividend on each of the 5,000,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, paid April 30, 2004, and a $0.515625 dividend payable July 30, 2004 amounting to $4,669, $3,810 of which has been recorded in the Statement of Operations through June 30, 2004.

        Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders.    As a result of the foregoing, our net loss available to common stockholders was $42,095 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $16,927 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $25,168 or 149%. Our net loss available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes $27,914 of costs related to the IPO, the financing transaction and the Hometown acquisition including (a) $10,070 from restricted stock grants, (b) $4,417 from IPO related organization and other costs and (c) $13,427 from the early termination of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At June 30, 2004, we have approximately $973 million of outstanding indebtedness. Approximately $787 million, or 81%, of our total indebtedness is fixed rate and approximately $186 million, or 19%, is variable rate. In February 2004 we entered into a two-year interest rate swap agreement pursuant to which we effectively fixed the base rate portion of the interest rate with respect to $100 million of our variable rate debt. As a result, approximately 90% of our total existing indebtedness will be subject to fixed interest rates for a minimum of two years. In connection with the repayment of existing indebtedness in our financing transaction, we incurred approximately $6.3 million in exit fees that we have included in early termination of debt. In connection with the new senior variable rate mortgage debt, we have purchased interest rate caps to limit our interest costs in the event of increases in one-month LIBOR above 5.00%.

        Our short-term liquidity needs include funds for distributions to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT status and to pay our estimated distribution of $1.25 per common share per annum, funds for dividend payments on our Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock and our Series B and C Preferred Partnership units, funds for capital expenditures for our communities, funds for purchases of rental homes (including rental of homes under our lease with option to purchase program), funds for community acquisitions and funds for the expansion of our in-community retail sales and financing initiative to facilitate the sale of homes in our communities. Our communities require recurring investment of funds for community related capital expenditures and general capital improvements and we expect to have significant non-recurring capital expenditures during the next 12 months to optimize our long-term returns by upgrading our acquired communities to our standards of function and appearance.

        We expect to meet our short-term liquidity needs generally through net cash provided by operations, sales of unencumbered homes (including vacant homes, used rental homes coming off lease, and newly purchased repossessions),working capital generated from our IPO and the financing transaction, existing cash and funding under a new revolving credit mortgage facility, for which we have

38



obtained a commitment as of August 2004, an amended floorplan line of credit, for which we have obtained a commitment as of August 2004, our retail home sales and consumer finance facilities and a revolving home lease receivables line of credit, for which we have obtained no commitments as of August 2004. Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO and the financing transaction, we entered into a $125 million senior revolving credit facility and a $225 million retail home sales and consumer finance debt facility. In August we cancelled the revolving credit facility and obtained a commitment for a revolving credit mortgage facility for borrowings of up to $85 million and a commitment to amend our existing floorplan line of credit to provide for borrowings of up to $50 million. There is no assurance that either the revolving credit mortgage facility or the amended floorplan line of credit will close (See note 6 of the financial statements) or that we will obtain a revolving home lease receivables line of credit. The IPO and the financing transaction produced approximately an additional $73 million in cash including the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Under our new revolving credit mortgage facility we expect to be able to borrow, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, up to $85 million to fund future acquisitions of manufactured home communities and additional rental homes, capital expenditures and other working capital needs, including the payment of distributions to our common stockholders. Under our amended flooplan line of credit we expect to be able to borrow, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, up to $50 million to fund future acquisitions of manufactured homes. Under our retail home sales and consumer finance debt facility we expect we will be able to borrow, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, up to $225 million to fund qualified loans made to residents who purchase homes in our communities. We also expect to raise capital by selling some of our communities and have already made arrangement for the sale of 15 communities (see Note 14). In addition to our existing sources of capital, our company has significant experience in raising private equity, and we may in the future use that experience to enter into financing joint ventures or other similar arrangements from time to time if we determine that such a structure would provide the most efficient means of raising capital.

        Our ability to obtain funding from time to time under the revolving credit mortgage facility, the amended floorplan line of credit and the retail home sales and consumer finance debt facility will be subject to certain conditions, and we cannot assure that all of these conditions will be met. If we are unable to meet the conditions necessary to continue funding under our retail home sales and consumer finance debt facility, we will be unable to fund or expand our retail home sales and consumer financing initiative, and our ability to maintain or improve our occupancy and our results of operations will be adversely affected. If we are unable to meet the conditions necessary to make drawings under the revolving credit mortgage facility or the amended floorplan line of credit, our ability to meet certain of our short-term liquidity needs, including acquisitions of communities and rental homes and the payment of distributions on our capital stock, will be adversely effected.

        We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements for the funding of community acquisitions, purchases of additional rental homes, purchase, sale and financing of homes to new residents in our communities, distributions required to maintain our REIT status and to pay our estimated distribution of $1.25 per common share per annum, dividend payments on our Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock and our Series B and C Preferred Partnership units, and other non-recurring capital improvements through net cash provided by operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity and debt securities, our retail home sales and consumer finance debt facility and our amended floorplan line of credit, the extension or replacement of our revolving credit mortgage facilities and the sale of certain of our communities. We expect to refinance our indebtedness as it comes due.

CASH FLOWS

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

        Cash provided by operations was $18,971 and $5,323 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operations for 2004 as compared to 2003 was due primarily to a greater loss available to common stockholders partially offset by an increase in operating liabilities including accounts payable and accrued expenses.

        Cash used in investing activities was $576,814 and $21,204 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in 2004 as compared to 2003 was due primarily to the Hometown and D.A.M. portfolio acquisitions and an increase in acquisitions of manufactured homes.

        Cash provided by financing activities was $578,954 and $27,498 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in 2004 as compared to 2003 was primarily due to issuance of additional indebtedness incurred with our financing transaction offset by repayment of existing indebtedness and the issuance of 23,042 common shares and the issuance of $125,000 of preferred stock in connection with our IPO.

INFLATION

        Inflation in the U.S. has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Although the impact of inflation has been relatively insignificant in recent years, it remains a factor in the United States economy and may increase the cost of acquiring or replacing property, plant, and equipment and the costs of labor and utilities.

COMMITMENTS

        At June 30, 2004, we have approximately $973 million of consolidated indebtedness outstanding with the following repayment obligations:

FFO

        As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents income (loss) from continuing operations (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs) and after adjustments

40



for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use some derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.

        As of June 30, 2004 our total debt outstanding was approximately $972.7 million, which was comprised of $787.0 million of indebtedness subject to fixed interest rates for a minimum of four years. Approximately $185.7 million, or 19% of our total consolidated debt is variable rate debt. In February 2004 we entered into a two-year interest rate swap agreement pursuant to which we

41



effectively fixed the base rate portion of the interest rate with respect to $100 million of our variable rate debt. As a result, approximately 90% of our total indebtedness after completion of our IPO and the financing transaction is subject to fixed interest rates for a minimum of two years.

        If LIBOR were to increase by 1.00%, the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.9 million annually. If, after consideration of the interest rate swap agreement described above, LIBOR were to increase by 1.00%, the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.9 million annually.

        Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

        The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our indebtedness outstanding as of June 30, 2004:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

42



        We also maintain a system of internal controls. The term "internal controls," as defined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Codification of Statement on Auditing Standards, AU Section 319, means controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the reliability of our financial reporting, the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations and of our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASE OF EQUITY SECURITIES

        On June 30, 2004, our Operating Partnership issued new Partnership Preferred Units ("PPUs") in conjunction with the acquisition of the D.A.M. portfolio. These PPUs were issued in three series, "B", "C" and "D" and totaled $33.1 million.

        The Series "B" PPUs, 300,000 units of which were issued, carry a liquidation preference of $25 per unit and earn cash distributions at the rate of 6.25% per annum, payable quarterly. The Series "B" PPUs can be redeemed for cash after the fifth anniversary of the issuance at the option of the Operating Partnership. Series "B" unit holders can request redemption of their units after the 1st anniversary of their issuance at which time the Partnership must redeem the PPUs or repurchase them with common stock or with cash and a note payable, at the Operating Partnership's option.

        The Series "C" PPUs, 705,688 units of which were issued, carry a liquidation preference of $25 per unit and earn cash distributions at the rate of 6.25% per annum, payable quarterly. The Series "C" PPUs can be redeemed for cash after the fifth anniversary of the issuance at the option of the Operating Partnership. Series "C" unit holders can request redemption of their units after the two and a half year anniversary of their issuance at which time the Operating Partnership must redeem the PPUs or repurchase them with common stock or with cash and a note payable, at the Operating Partnership's option. Series "B" and "C" units have the same priority as to the payment of distributions.

        The Series "D" units, 320,000 of which were issued, were redeemed for cash on July 6, 2004.
