Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and other consolidated subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”) are referred to herein as “we,” “us,” and “our.” We are a fully integrated owner and operator of lifestyle-oriented properties ("Properties") consisting primarily of manufactured home ("MH") communities and recreational vehicle ("RV") resorts and campgrounds. We provide our customers the opportunity to place factory built homes, cottages, cabins or RVs on our properties either on a long-term or short-term basis. Our customers may lease individual developed areas ("Sites") or enter right-to-use contracts, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2016 Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). These unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 20162017 Form 10-K.
The following notes to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the 20162017 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the SEC. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments and estimates necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements, which are of a normal, recurring nature. Revenues and expenses are subject to seasonal fluctuations and accordingly, quarterly interim results may not be indicative of full year results.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
We consolidate our majority-owned Subsidiaries in which we have the ability to control the operations and all variable interest entities ("VIE"VIEs") with respect to which we are the primary beneficiary. We have determined the Operating Partnership, which is our sole significant asset, meets the definition of a VIE. Therefore, we consolidate the Operating Partnership. We also consolidate entities in which we have a direct or indirect controlling or voting interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted (“ASU 2015-02”) Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 required us to evaluate whether we should consolidate certain legal entities. The adoption of this standard did not result in any changes to our accounting of interests in less than wholly-owned joint ventures; however, the Operating Partnership now meets the criteria as a VIE. We concluded that the Operating Partnership is a VIE because we are the general partner and controlling owner of approximately 93.7% of the Operating Partnership and the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. Our sole significant asset is our investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. The Company has the power to direct the VIE's activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are significant to the VIE. Accordingly, we are the primary beneficiary and we will continue to consolidate the Operating Partnership under this new guidance.
We apply the equity method of accounting to entities in which we do not have a direct or indirect controlling interest or for variable interest entities where we are not considered the primary beneficiary, but can exercise significant influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions. We apply the cost method of accounting when our investment is (i) minimal (typically less than 5.0%) and (ii) passive. Our exposure to losses associated with unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily limited to the carrying value of these investments. Accordingly, distributions from a joint venture in excess of our carrying value are recognized in earnings.

(b) | Identified Intangibles and Goodwill |
As of both September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the gross carrying amount of identified intangible assets and goodwill, a component of escrowEscrow deposits, goodwill and other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets,the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $12.1 million. As of both September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, this amount was comprised of approximately $4.3 million of identified intangible assets and approximately $7.8 million of goodwill. Accumulated amortization of identified intangible assets was approximately $2.9$3.0 million and $2.8$2.9 million as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.
As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the gross carrying amount of in-place lease intangible assets, a component of buildingsBuildings and other depreciable property on our consolidated balance sheets,the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $76.7$84.9 million and $76.3$76.7 million, respectively. Accumulated amortization of in-place lease intangible assets was approximately $76.4$81.7 million and $74.3$76.5 million as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.
Cash asAs of both September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 20162017, Cash and restricted cash included approximately $5.3 million of restricted cash for the payment of capital improvements, insurance or real estate taxes.taxes pursuant to certain loan agreements.

(d) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Our financial instruments include notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, interest rate swaps and mortgage notes payable. We disclose the estimated fair value of our financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy (Level 1, 2 and 3).
Our mortgage notes payable and term loan, excluding deferred financing costs of approximately $18.9$23.6 million and $23.7 million as of both September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $2,200.1$2,238.4 million and $2,110.2$2,193.7 million as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, and a fair value of approximately $2,225.4$2,200.8 million and $2,081.2$2,184.0 million as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. The fair value was measured using quoted prices and observable inputs from similar liabilities (Level 2). At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, our cash flow hedge of interest rate risk included in accrued expensesEscrow deposits, goodwill and accounts payableother assets, net was measured using quoted prices and observable inputs from similar assets and liabilities (Level 2). We consider our own credit risk as well as the credit risk of our counterparties when evaluating the fair value of our derivative. The cash flow hedge of interest rate risk expired during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The fair values of our notes receivable approximate their carrying or contract values. We also utilize Level 2 and Level 3 inputs as part of our determination of the purchase price allocation for our acquisitions.
Our revenue streams are predominantly derived from customers renting our Sites and are accounted for in accordance with ("ASC 840"), Leases, which include the following classifications on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income: Community base rental income; Rental home income; Resort base rental income; and Utility and other income. Customers lease the Site on which their home is located, and either own or lease their home. Lease revenues for Sites and homes are accounted for as operating leases and recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a customer’s stay. A typical lease for the rental of a Site between us and the owner or renter of a home is month-to-month or for a one-year term, renewable upon the consent of both parties, or in some instances, as provided by statute.
All other classifications on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income are accounted for under other applicable accounting standards.
We enter into right-to-use contracts that give the customer the right to a set schedule of usage at a specified group of Properties. Payments are deferred and recognized ratably over the one year period in which access to Sites at certain Properties are provided. Right-to-use upgrade contracts grant certain additional access rights to the customer and require upfront non-refundable payments. The right-to-use upfront non-refundable payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. On January 1, 2018, we adopted (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. See Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements within Note 2 for further discussion.
Income from home sales is recognized when the earnings process is complete. The earnings process is complete when the home has been delivered, the purchaser has accepted the home and title has transferred.

(f) | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
On January 1, 2018, we adopted on a prospective basis ("ASU 2017-01") Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805). This guidance clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not considered a business and, thus, is accounted for as an asset acquisition rather than a business combination. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not considered a business. Under this new guidance, transaction costs associated with asset acquisitions are capitalized, while transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred. All of the acquisitions completed subsequent to January 1, 2018 met the screen and, therefore, were accounted for as asset acquisitions and, as such, the related transaction costs of $1.5 million were capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted (“ASU 2016-18”) Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230). This guidance requires companies to include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
On January 1, 2018, we adopted (“ASU 2016-15”) Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230) on a retrospective basis. This update adds or clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 impacted our classification of proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investments. The retrospective adoption of this guidance resulted in the reclassification of $1.5 million of insurance proceeds from Operating Activities to Investing Activities and $0.6 million of distributions from equity method investments from Operating Activities to Investing Activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. We applied the modified retrospective method to our right-to-use upgrade contracts and related commissions that were not fully amortized as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. As a result of the cumulative impact of adopting this guidance, we recorded a net reduction to retained earnings of approximately $15.2 million as of January 1, 2018 in Distributions in excess of accumulated earnings on the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. There have not been significant changes to our business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard. In addition to the information included within Note 2 regarding the impact of ASU 2014-09, also see Note 10, Reportable Segments, for further disaggregation of our various revenue streams by major source.

In January 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ("ASU 2017-01"2018-15")Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a BusinessCloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. ASU 2017-01 clarifies2018-15 provides clarity on the definitionaccounting for implementation costs of a businesscloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The project stage (that is, preliminary project stage, application development stage, or post implementation stage) and the nature of the implementation costs determine which costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which ones to expense. This update also requires the capitalized implementation costs to be expensed over the term of the arrangement and presented in the same line item in the Consolidated Financial Statements as the fees associated with the objectiveservice of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.the arrangement. ASU 2017-01 will be2018-15 is effective for annual reportingin fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.2019, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statementsthe Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016,2017, the FASB issued (“("ASU 2016-15”2017-12") Statement of Cash FlowsDerivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Topic 230)815). ASU 2016-152017-12 provides guidance on how certain cash receiptsabout income statement classification and cash payments areeliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The entire change in fair value for qualifying hedge instruments including ineffectiveness will be presentedrecorded in Other comprehensive income ("OCI") and classifiedamounts deferred in OCI will be reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of cash flows.the hedged item is reported. The new guidance also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The intention is to align hedge accounting with companies' risk management strategies more closely, thereby simplifying the application of hedge accounting and increasing transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. ASU 2016-15 will be2017-12 is effective for annual reporting periodsin fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted.2018, including interim periods within those years. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statementsthe Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued (“ASU 2016-13”) Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, that adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statementsthe Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ("ASU 2016-02") Leases,. ASU 2016-02 amends regarding the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiringleases for both lessees and lessors. The pronouncement generally requires lessees to recognize most leasesrecord a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on theirthe balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approachsheet for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief.terms longer than 12 months. In July 2018, ASU 2016-02 will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact, if any, this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ("ASU 2014-09") Revenue from Contracts with Customers which along with related subsequent amendments will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospectivewas amended, providing another transition method.

Note 2 –- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
We expectmethod by allowing companies to initially apply the new lease standard in the period of adoption, recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings, if necessary. The lease standard amendment also provided a practical expedient for an accounting policy election for lessors, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease components, if certain requirements are met. The new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-09this new guidance on January 1, 20182019 using the modified retrospective transition method. We have determined that our primary sourceapproach, which will result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of revenue, generated through leasing arrangements,retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability for operating leases where it is excluded from ASU 2014-09. We arethe lessee, such as ground leases and office leases. The Company is in the process of finalizing our evaluationevaluating the inputs required to calculate the amounts that will be recorded on its balance sheet for each lease. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company expects to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and quantifyinglease assets. For leases where we are the impact, if any,lessor, the adoption of ASU 2014-09Company expects that accounting for lease components will have on ourbe largely unchanged from existing GAAP and to elect the practical expedient to not separate non-lease revenue streams, including right-to-use annual payments, right-to-use contracts, and utility and other income. While we have not finalized our assessment ofcomponents from lease components based upon the impact of ASU 2014-09, based on the analysis completed to date, we do not currently anticipate that ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.predominant component for these operating leases.

Our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was adopted by our Board of Directors on March 11, 2014 and approved by our stockholders on May 13, 2014. Pursuant to the 2014 Plan, our officers, directors, employees and consultants may be awarded (i) shares of common stock (“Restricted Stock”), (ii) options to acquire shares of common stock (“Options”), including non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) other forms of equity awards, subject to conditions and restrictions determined by the Compensation, Nominating, and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The Compensation Committee will determine the vesting schedule, if any, of each Restricted Stock Grant or Option and the term of each Option, which term shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant. Shares that do not vest are forfeited. Dividends paid on restricted stock are not returnable, even if the underlying stock does not entirely vest. A maximum of 3,750,000 shares of common stock were originally available for grant under the 2014 Plan. As of September 30, 2017, 3,126,885 shares remained available for grant.
Grants under the 2014 Plan are approved by the Compensation Committee, which determines the individuals eligible to receive awards, the types of awards, and the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to any award, except grants to directors which are approved by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee determines the vesting schedule, if any, of each restricted stock grant or stock option grant and the term of each stock option, which term shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant. Shares that do not vest are forfeited. Dividends paid on restricted stock are not returnable, even if the underlying stock does not entirely vest. A maximum of 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock were originally available for grant under the 2014 Plan. As of September 30, 2018, 2,927,923 shares remained available for grant.
On February 1, 2018, we awarded 70,250 shares of restricted stock (the “2018 Awards”) at a fair market value of approximately $5.9 million to certain members of our senior management for their service in 2018. These restricted stock grants vest over a three-year vesting period, with one-third vesting on December 28, 2018 and the remaining two-thirds vesting on each of December 28, 2019 and December 28, 2020, respectively (the “Extended Vesting Portion”). One-half of the Extended Vesting Portion of the 2018 Awards provide solely for time-based vesting and will vest in equal installments on December 28, 2019 and December 28, 2020. The remaining one-half of the Extended Vesting Portion of the 2018 Awards provide for performance-based vesting and will vest, subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions to be established by the Compensation Committee in the year of the vesting period, in equal installments on December 28, 2019 and December 28, 2020.
Additionally, on February 1, 2018, we awarded a one-time transition award of time-based restricted stock (the "Transition Awards") as a transition from our prior practice of granting annual restricted stock awards which vest in full on December 31 of the relevant grant year. On February 1, 2018, we awarded Transition Awards for 70,250 shares of common stock at a fair market value of approximately $5.9 million to certain members of our senior management. These Transition Awards are intended to mitigate the impact of a reduction in the realized pay for certain members of our senior management in 2018 and 2019 resulting from the three-year vesting period for the 2018 Awards. Two-thirds of each Transition Award will vest on December 28, 2018, and the remaining one-third will vest on December 28, 2019. The Transition Awards are not subject to performance goals.

Hurricane Irma
Based on our assessment and available information as of the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we recognized expense of $3.7 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to property damage and restoration work that had been reasonably estimated and/or completed to date at our Florida properties as a result of Hurricane Irma. Based on our evaluation of these costs and our review of the potential insurance claim and our estimate of the related deductible, we recorded a revenue accrual of $3.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, while we expect additional amounts to be identified in the future, we cannot estimate the total expenses or recoveries related to Hurricane Irma.
California Rent Control Litigation
As part of our effort to realize the value of our Properties subject to rent control, we previously initiated lawsuits against certain localities in California with the goal of achieving a level of regulatory fairness in California's rent control jurisdictions, and in particular those jurisdictions that prohibit increasing rents to market upon turnover. Such regulations allow tenants to sell their homes for a price that includes a premium above the intrinsic value of the homes. The premium represents the value of the future discounted rent-controlled rents, which is fully capitalized into the prices of the homes sold. In our view, such regulations result in a transfer to the tenants of the value of our land, which would otherwise be reflected in market rents. We have discovered through the litigation process that certain municipalities considered condemning our Properties at values well below the value of the underlying land. In our view, a failure to articulate market rents for Sites governed by restrictive rent control would put us at risk for condemnation or eminent domain proceedings based on artificially reduced rents. Such a physical taking, should it occur, could represent substantial lost value to stockholders. We are cognizant of the need for affordable housing in the jurisdictions, but assert that restrictive rent regulation does not promote this purpose because tenants pay to their sellers as part of the purchase price

of the home all the future rent savings that are expected to result from the rent control regulations, eliminating any supposed improvement in the affordability of housing. In a more well-balanced regulatory environment, we would receive market rents that would eliminate the price premium for homes, which would trade at or near their intrinsic value. Such efforts have included the following matters:
We sued the City of San Rafael on October 13, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, challenging its rent control ordinance on constitutional grounds. While the District Court found the rent control ordinance unconstitutional, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court and ruled that the ordinance had not unconstitutionally taken our property. On September 3, 2013, we filed a petition for review by the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied.
On January 31, 2012, we sued the City of Santee in the United States District for the Southern District of California challenging its rent control ordinance on constitutional grounds. On September 26, 2013, we entered a settlement agreement with the City pursuant to which we are able to increase Site rents at the Meadowbrook community through January 1, 2034 as follows: (a) a one-time 2.5% rent increase on all Sites in January 2014; plus (b) annual rent increases of 100% of the consumer price index (CPI) beginning in 2014; and (c) a 10% increase in the rent on a site upon turnover of that site. Absent the settlement, the rent control ordinance limited us to annual rent increases of at most 70% of CPI with no increases on turnover of a site.
Settlement of California Lawsuits
On January 18, 2017, we entered into agreements pursuant to which we agreed to settle three California lawsuits related to our California Hawaiian property in San Jose, our Monte del Lago property in Castroville and our Santiago Estates property in Sylmar. Each of the three plaintiff groups was represented by the same law firm and alleged that the Company failed to properly maintain the respective properties. The settlement agreements provided for $9.9 million to be paid to settle the California Hawaiian matter, $1.5 million to be paid to settle the Monte del Lago matter and $1.9 million to be paid to settle the Santiago Estates matter. As a result, a litigation settlement payable was recorded in Accrued expenses and accounts payable as of December 31, 2016. In addition, an insurance receivable was recorded in escrow deposits, goodwill and other assets, net as of December 31, 2016, resulting in a net settlement of approximately $2.4 million reflected as a component of property rights initiatives and other, net on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the settlements were finalized, the settlement payments were made and the insurance payments were received. These settlements resolved all pending matters brought by plaintiffs’ counsel against us or any of our affiliates. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, all plaintiffs provided full releases to each of the defendants and their affiliates including with respect to the claims alleged in the lawsuits, and each of the lawsuits and related appeals were dismissed with prejudice. The settlements do not constitute an admission of liability by us or any of our affiliates and were made to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation.
Civil Investigation by Certain California District Attorneys
In November 2014, we received a civil investigative subpoena from the office of the District Attorney for Monterey County, California ("MCDA"), seeking information relating to, among other items, statewide compliance with asbestos and hazardous waste regulations dating back to 2005 primarily in connection with demolition and renovation projects performed by third-party contractors at our California Properties. We responded by providing the information required by the subpoena.
On October 20, 2015, we attended a meeting with representatives of the MCDA and certain other District Attorneys' offices at which the MCDA reviewed the preliminary results of their investigation including, among other things, (i) alleged violations of asbestos and related regulations associated with approximately 200 historical demolition and renovation projects in California; (ii) potential exposure to civil penalties and unpaid fees; and (iii) next steps with respect to a negotiated resolution of the alleged violations. No legal proceedings have been instituted to date and we are involved in settlement discussions with the District Attorneys' offices. We continue to assess the allegations and the underlying facts, and at this time we are unable to predict the outcome of the investigation or reasonably estimate any possible loss.
Other
In addition to legal matters discussed above, we are involved in various other legal and regulatory proceedings ("Other Proceedings") arising in the ordinary course of business. The Other Proceedings include, but are not limited to, notices, consent decrees, information requests, and additional permit requirements and other similar enforcement actions by governmental agencies relating to our utility infrastructure, including water and wastewater treatment plants and other waste treatment facilities and electrical systems. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, our operations are subject to audit by various taxing authorities.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Management believes these Other Proceedings taken together do not represent a material liability. In addition, to the extent any such proceedings or audits relate to newly acquired Properties, we consider any potential indemnification obligations of sellers in our favor.

Note 10 – Reportable Segments
We have identified two reportable segments which are: (i) Property Operations and (ii) Home Sales and Rentals Operations. The Property Operations segment owns and operates land lease Properties and the Home Sales and Rentals Operations segment purchases, sells and leases homes at the Properties. The distribution of the Properties throughout the United States reflects our belief that geographic diversification helps insulate the portfolio from regional economic influences.
All revenues are from external customers and there is no customer who contributed 10% or more of our total revenues during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 or 2016.2017.

Note 11 - Subsequent Events
During October 2017, we sold 336,290 shares of common stock as part of the ATM equity offering program at a weighted average price of $85.13, resulting in net cash proceeds of $28.3 million. Our Board of Directors has approved a new ATM equity offering program having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million.
On October 16, 2017,1, 2018, we entered into a $204paid off six mortgage loans of $66.3 million, secured facility with Fannie Mae, maturing in 2037 and bearing a 3.97% fixed interest rate. The loan is secured by five manufactured home communities. We used the proceeds to pay, in full, $194.2including $0.1 million of prepayment penalties, using our line of credit. The loans, thatwhich would have matured in 2018. We incurred approximately $2.2 million in prepayment penalties associated with the debt repayment.
On October 27, 2017, we entered into2019, had a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among us, MHC Operating Limited Partnership, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and other lenders named therein, which amends and restates the terms of the obligations owed by us under the Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of July 17, 2014 pursuant to which we have access to a $400 million unsecured line of credit (the “LOC”) and the $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). The LOC maturity date was extended to October 27, 2021, and this term can be extended an additional year in two six month increments, subject to certain conditions. The LOC bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.10% to 1.55% and requires an annual facility fee of 0.15% to 0.35%.
We also extended the term of our Term Loan. The Term Loan now matures on April 27, 2023 and has anweighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.20% to 1.90%6.07% per annum. For both the LOCannum and Term Loan, the spread over LIBOR is variable based on leverage throughout the respective loan terms. We incurred commitment and arrangement fees of approximately $3.6 million to enter into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.were secured by six MH properties.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, and with the information under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
Overview and Outlook
We are a self-administered, self-managed, real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. We are a fully integrated owner and operator of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting primarily of manufactured home ("MH") communities and recreational vehicle ("RV") resorts and campgrounds. As of September 30, 2017,2018, we owned or had an ownership interest in a portfolio of 404411 Properties located throughout the United States and Canada containing 149,448153,847 Sites. These propertiesProperties are located in 32 states and British Columbia, with more than 90 Properties with lake, river or ocean frontage and more than 100 Properties within 10 miles of the coastal United States.
We invest in Properties in sought-after locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States with a focus on increasing operating cash flows. We seek growth in earnings, funds from operations ("FFO") and cash flows by enhancing the profitability and operation of our Properties and investments. We seek to accomplish this by attracting high- quality customers to our Properties and retaining these customers who take pride in the Property and in their homes and efficiently managing our Properties to increase operating margins by increasing occupancy, maintaining competitive market rents and controlling expenses.
We believe that demand from baby boomers for manufactured housing and RV resorts will continue to outpace supply for several years. We believe these individuals will continue to drive the market for second home sales as vacation properties, investment opportunities, or retirement retreats. We believe it is likely that over the next decade we will continue to see high levels of second home sales and that resort homes and cottages in our Properties will continue to provide a viable second-home alternative to site-built homes.
We also believe that our Properties and our business model provide an opportunity for increased cash flows and appreciation in value. These may be achieved through increases in rental and occupancy rates, as well as expense controls, expansion of existing Properties and opportunistic acquisitions. We actively seek to acquire and are currently engaged in various stages of negotiations relating to the possible acquisition of additional properties, which may include contracts outstanding to acquire such properties that are subject to the satisfactory completion of our due diligence review.
We generate the majority of our revenues from customers renting our Sites,individual developed areas ("Sites"), or entering into right-to-use contracts (also referred to as membership products) which provide our customers access to specific Properties for limited stays. Our MH community Sites and annual RV resort Sites are leased on an annual basis. Seasonal Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. The revenue from seasonal and transient Sites is generally higher during the first and third quarters. We consider the transient revenue stream to be our most volatile as it is subject to weather conditions and other factors affecting the marginal RV customer's vacation and travel preferences. Sites designated as right-to-use Sites are primarily utilized to service the approximately 106,900 customers who have entered into right-to-use contracts (otherwise referred to as "memberships") and who pay annual membership dues.
We also have interests in joint venture Properties for which revenue is classified as Equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. During the quarter, we contributed approximately $30.0 million to acquire a 49% interest in Florida Atlantic Holding, LLC ("Loggerhead"). Loggerhead owns a portfolio of 11 marinas located in Florida.
The breakdown of our Sites by type areis as follows (amounts are approximate):

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
In our Home Sales and Rental Operations business our revenue streams include home sales, home rentals, brokerage services and ancillary activities. We generate revenue through home sales and rental operations by selling or leasing Site Setset homes that are located in Properties owned and managed by us. We continue to focus on our rental operations, as we believe renting our vacant new homes may representrepresents an attractive source of occupancy and the opportunity to convert the renter to a new homebuyer in the future. We also sell and rent homes through our joint venture, ECHO Financing, LLC (the "ECHO JV"). We provide brokerage services to residents of our Properties who move from a Property but do not relocate their home. In addition, we operate ancillary activities at certain Properties, such as golf courses, pro shops, stores and restaurants.
In the manufactured housing industry, options for home financing, also known as chattel financing, options are limited. FinancingChattel financing options available today include community owner fundedowner-funded programs or third partythird-party lender programs that provide subsidized financing to customers and often require the community owner to guarantee customer defaults. Third partyThird-party lender programs have stringent underwriting criteria, sizable down payment requirements, short loan amortization and high interest rates. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to purchasers of homes at our Properties.
Management's Discussion (continued)
We invest in Properties in sought-after locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States with a focus on increasing operating cash flows. We seek growth in earnings, funds from operations ("FFO") and cash flows by enhancing the profitability and operation of our Properties and investments. We seek to accomplish this by attracting high quality customers to our Properties and retaining these customers who take pride in the Property and in their homes and efficiently managing our Properties to increase operating margins by increasing occupancy, maintaining competitive market rents and controlling expenses.
We actively seek to acquire and are currently engaged in various stages of negotiations relating to the possible acquisition of additional properties, which may include contracts outstanding to acquire such properties that are subject to the satisfactory completion of our due diligence review.
In addition to Net income computed in accordance with GAAP, we assess and measure our overall financial and operating performance using certain Non-GAAP supplemental measures, which include: (i) FFO, (ii) Normalized funds from operations ("NFFO"Normalized FFO"), (iii) Income from property operations, (iv) Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, (v) Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, (operating results for properties owned and operated in both periods under comparison) and (vi) Income from rental operations, net of depreciation. We use these measures internally to evaluate the operating performance of our portfolio and provide a basis for comparison with other real estate companies. Definitions and reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included below in this discussion.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall in the state of Florida. Our properties were affected by flooding, wind, wind-blown debris, fallen trees and tree branches. Overall, homes in our communities held up well with most of the structural damage limited to carports, screen rooms and awnings. Structural damage to common areas was also limited. Our Florida mainland properties resumed normal operations shortly after Hurricane Irma. Two RV resorts in the Florida Keys will reopen as utility services are restored. We are in the process of estimating the financial impact of the storm on our properties and we believe we have adequate insurance, subject to deductibles, including business interruption coverage. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we recorded expense of $3.7 million related to property damage and restoration work that had been reasonably estimated and/or completed to date. In addition we recorded revenue of $3.5 million related to the expected insurance recovery from this loss.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
We continue to focus on the quality of occupancy growth by increasing the number of manufactured homeowners in our Core Portfolio. Our Core Portfolio average occupancy consists of occupied home sitesSites in our MH communities (both homeowners and renters) and was 94.3%94.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to 94.2% for2018, consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 20172018 and 93.5%increased by 0.3% from 94.4% for the quarter endedsame period in 2017.

We continue to offer the Thousand Trails Camping Pass (“TTC”) and as a customer acquisition tool we have relationships with a network of RV dealers to provide them with a free one-year TTC membership to give to their customers in connection with the purchase of an RV. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017 online TTC sales increased 52% from the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include certain Non-GAAP financial measures that in management's view of the business are meaningful as they allow the investor the ability to understand key operating details of our business both with and without regard to certain accounting conventions or items that may not always be indicative of recurring annual cash flow of the portfolio. These Non-GAAP financial measures as determined and presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and include Income from Property Operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and Income from Rental Operation, net of depreciation.
We believe investors should review Income from Property Operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and Income from Rental Operations, net of depreciation, along with GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT's operating performance. A discussion of Income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and Income from rental operations, net of depreciation, and a reconciliation to net income, are included below.
Income from Property Operations and Core Portfolio
We use Income from property operations and Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, and Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, as alternative measures to evaluate the operating results of our manufactured home and RV communities. Income from property operations represents rental income, utility and other income and right-to-use income less property and rental home operating and maintenance expenses, real estate tax, sales and marketing expenses and property management expenses. Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, represents income from property operations excluding property management expenses and the impact of the GAAP deferral of right-to-use contract upfront payments and related commissions, net. Our Core Portfolio consists of our Properties owned and operated since December 31, 2015.2016. Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, is useful to investors for annual comparison as it removes the fluctuations associated with acquisitions, dispositions and significant transactions or unique situations. Our Non-Core Portfolio (or Acquisitions) includes all Properties that were not owned and operated during 2016all of 2017 and 2017.2018. This includes, but is not limited to, five properties acquired during 2018, three properties acquired during 2017 and Fiesta Key and Sunshine Key RV Resorts.
Funds from Operations ("FFO") and Normalized Funds from Operations ("NFFO"Normalized FFO")
We define FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and actual or estimated losses from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairments, if any, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We receive up-frontupfront non-refundable payments from the entry of right-to-use contracts. In accordance with GAAP, the upfront non-refundable payments and related commissions are deferred and amortized over the estimated customer life. Although the NAREIT definition of FFO does not address the treatment of non-refundable right-to-use payments, we believe that it is appropriate to adjust for the impact of the deferral activity in our calculation of FFO.
We define NFFONormalized FFO as FFO excluding the following non-operating income and expense items: a) the financial impact of contingent consideration; b) gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance costs; c) propertyb) acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergersbusiness combinations; and acquisitions; and d)c) other miscellaneous non-comparable items. NFFONormalized FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to NFFONormalized FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same methodology for computing this amount.
We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments, if any, and actual or estimated gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management because it allows them to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on

a consistent basis without having to account for differences not related to our operations. For example, we believe that excluding the early extinguishment of debt, property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitionsbusiness combinations from NFFONormalized FFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods because these costs do not affect the future operations of the properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and NFFONormalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items.
Income from Rental Operations, Net of Depreciation
We use Income from rental operations, net of depreciation as an alternative measure to evaluate the operating results of our home rental program. Income from rental operations, net of depreciation, represents income from rental operations less depreciation expense on rental homes. We believe this measure is meaningful for investors as it provides a more complete picture of the home rental program operating results including the impact of depreciation which affects our home rental program investment decisions.
Our definitions and calculations of these non-GAAPNon-GAAP financial and operating measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These non-GAAPNon-GAAP financial and operating measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Total Portfolio income from property operations, which includes Core and non-Core portfolios,Non-Core Portfolios, for the quarter ended September 30, 20172018 increased $6.9$9.0 million, or 6.4%7.9%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2016,2017, primarily driven by an increase of $6.8$4.7 million, or 6.5%4.2%, in our Core Portfolio income from property operations and a $0.1an increase of $4.2 million, increase in our Non-Core Portfolio income from property operations. The increase in Core Portfolio income from property operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to an increase in Community base rental income and Resort base rental income, partially offset by a decrease in Utility and other income and an increase in Property operating expenses, excluding deferrals and property management. The increase in Non-Core Portfolio income from property operations is primarily due to contribution from our Everglades acquisition that closed during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and $1.2 million of insurance proceeds received during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, which we have identified as business interruption recovery at our RV properties in the Florida Keys.

Management's Discussion (continued)
IncomeLoss from home sales and other was $0.2$0.1 million for both the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The increase in home selling expenses was primarily due to expense of $0.4 million recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 related2018 compared to property damage as a resultincome of Hurricane Irma. The expense recorded during$0.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Inflation
Substantially all of the leases at the Properties allow for monthly or annual rent increases which provide us withincreases. In addition, we have the opportunity to achieve rate increases, where justified by the market, as each lease matures. Such types of leases generally minimize our risks of inflation. In addition, our RV resort Properties are not generally subject to leases and rents are established for these Sites on an annual basis. Our right-to-use contracts generally provide for an annual dues increase, but dues may be frozen under the terms of certain contracts if the customer is over 61 years of age.old.
