UMH PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 20192020 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

UMH Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, “us” or “the Company”) operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) deriving its income primarily from real estate rental operations. The Company owns and operates 122124 manufactured home communities containing approximately 23,00023,400 developed homesites as of September 30, 2019.2020. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan and Maryland. The Company, through its wholly-owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), conductsalso sells manufactured home saleshomes to residents and prospective residents in its communities. Inherent in the operations of manufactured home communities are site vacancies. S&F was established to fill these vacancies and enhance the value of the communities. The Company also owns a portfolio of REIT securities which the Company generally limits to no more than approximately 15%15% of its undepreciated assets. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include S&F and all of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The Company’s 124 residential communities remain open and operational. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact the Company’s operating results for the first nine months of 2020. However, the future effects of the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and intends to maintain its qualification as a REIT in the future. As a qualified REIT, with limited exceptions, the Company will not be taxed under federal and certain state income tax laws at the corporate level on taxable income that it distributes to its shareholders. For special tax provisions applicable to REITs, refer to Sections 856-860 of the Code. The Company is subject to franchise taxes in some of the states in which the Company owns property.

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements furnished herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.2020. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.

 

12

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the financial statements for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the statement presentation for the current periods.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate risk on its variable rate debt. The Company attempts to limit these risks by following established risk management policies, procedures and strategies, including the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company generally employs derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company previously entered into various interest rate swap agreements that have had the effect of fixing interest rates relative to specific mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019,2020, these agreements havehad expired and the Company does not have any interest rate swap agreements in effect.

Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsLeases

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification”, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The first presentation of changes in stockholders’ equity was included in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability. ASU 2016-02 also makes targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”, which included amendments to clarify certain aspects of the new lease standard. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) – Target Improvements.” ASU No. 2018-11 provides a new transition method and a practical expedient to separating contract components as required by ASU 2016-02. Under ASU 2018-11, an entity applying the new lease accounting standard may record a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of undistributed income (accumulated deficit) in the period of adoption, instead of having to restate comparative results, as initially required. Additionally, ASU No. 2018-11 provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, toWe account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted forour leases under the new revenue guidance if both 1. the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component(s) and associated lease component are the same (instead of the timing and pattern of revenue recognition, as proposed); and 2. the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842) – Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors.ASC 842, “Leases.” ASU 2018-20 allow lessors to make an accounting policy election not to evaluate whether sales taxes and similar taxes imposed by a governmental authority on a specific lease revenue-producing transaction are the primary obligation of the lessor as owner of the underlying leased asset. The amendments also require a lessor to exclude lessor costs paid directly by a lessee to third parties on the lessor’s behalf from variable payments and include lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee in the measurement of variable lease revenue and the associated expense. In addition, the amendments clarify that when lessors allocate variable payments to lease and non-lease components they are required to follow the recognition guidance in the new lease standard for the lease component and other applicable guidance, such as the new revenue standard, for the non-lease component.

13

The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our primary source of revenue is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes, where we are the lessor. The non-lease components of our lease agreements consist primarily of utility reimbursements. We have electedThese leases are generally for one-year or month-to-month terms and renewable by mutual agreement from us and the lessor practical expedient to combine the lease and non-lease components. resident, or in some cases, as provided by jurisdictional statute.

We are the lessee in other arrangements, primarily for our corporate office and a ground lease at one community. For leases with a term greater than one year, right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liabilities are measured as the estimated present value of minimum lease payments at the commencement of the lease agreement and discounted by our borrowing rate. As of September 30, 2019,2020, the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $2,750,245 is$3.7 million are included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets and Accrued Liabilities and Deposits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

SCHEDULE OF FUTURE MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS

Future minimum lease payments under these leases over the remaining lease terms are as follows:follows (in thousands):

2019 $91,313

Thereafter  7,954,333   8,432 
        
Total Lease Payments $9,102,690  $10,151 

The weighted average remaining lease term for these leases is 165.0145.1 years. The right of use assets and lease liabilities was calculated using an interest rate of 5%5%. Additionally, for all leases, we have elected the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company not to reassess expired or existing contracts containing a lease, the lease classification for expired or existing contracts, and measurement of initial direct costs for any existing leases.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 “Statement ofRestricted Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” ASU 2016-18 requires inclusion of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents 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 guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018.

The Company’s restricted cash consists of amounts primarily held in deposit for tax, insurance and repair escrows held by lenders in accordance with certain debt agreements. Restricted cash is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Previously, changes in restricted cash were reported on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as operating, investing or financing activities based on the nature of the underlying activity.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. The Company previously classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of Shareholders’ Equity until realized. The change in the unrealized net holding gains (losses) was reflected in the Company’s Comprehensive Income (Loss). As a result of adoption, these securities will continue to be measured at fair value; however, the change in the unrealized net holding gains and losses is now recognized through net income. As ofRevenue

On January 1, 2018, unrealized net holding gains of $11,519,582 were reclassed to beginning undistributed income (accumulated deficit) to recognize the unrealized gains previously recorded in “accumulated other comprehensive income” on our consolidated balance sheets.

14

In May 2014, the FASB issuedCompany adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASC 606). The objective of this amendment is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying this amendment, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. This amendment applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB ASC. An entity should apply the amendments using either the full retrospective approach or retrospectively with a cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized at the date of initial application. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. For transactions in the scope of ASU 2014-09,ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of goods or services transfers to the customer, in the amount that we expect to receive for the transfer of goods or provision of services. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not result in any change to our accounting policies for revenue recognition. Accordingly, retrospective application to prior periods or a cumulative catch-up adjustment was unnecessary.

Our primary source of revenueRental and related income is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes. Resident leases are generally for one-year or month-to-month terms and are renewable by mutual agreement from us and the resident, or in some cases, as provided by jurisdictional statute. The lease component of these agreements is accounted for under ASC 842840 “Leases.” The non-lease components of our lease agreements consist primarily of utility reimbursements, which are accounted for with the site lease as a single lease under ASC 842.840.

14

 

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606,

Revenue from sales of manufactured homes wereis recognized under ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition” since these homes are not permanent fixtures or improvements to the underlying real estate. Inin accordance with the core principle of ASC 606, we recognize revenue from home sales at the time of closing when control of the home transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, we generally have no remaining performance obligation.

Interest income is primarily from notes receivables for the previous sales of manufactured homes. Interest income on these receivables is accrued based on the unpaid principal balances of the underlying loans on a level yield basis over the life of the loans. Interest income is not in the scope of ASC 606.

Dividend income and gain on sales of marketable securities net are from our investments in marketable securities and are presented separately but are not in the scope of ASC 606.

15

Other income primarily consists of brokerage commissions for arranging for the sale of a home by a third party service and marketing agreements with cable providers, and in 2017 included an upfront oil and gas bonus payment.other miscellaneous income. This income is recognized when the transactions are completed and our performance obligations have been fulfilled.

As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had notes receivable of $35,370,466 and $28,094,814, respectively. Notes receivables are presented as a component of Notes and Other Receivables, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These receivables represent balances owed to us for previously completed performance obligations for sales of manufactured homes. Due to the nature of our revenue from contracts with customers, we do not have material contract assets or liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC 606.

Other RecentRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In SeptemberJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. As of January 1, 2020, we adopted the fair value option for our notes receivable and there was not a material impact. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had notes receivable of $41.8 million and $34.7 million, net the fair value adjustment of $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Notes receivable are presented as a component of Notes and Other Receivables, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These receivables represent balances owed to us for previously completed performance obligations for sales of manufactured homes.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC 820. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impactadopted this standard mayeffective with its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.its fair value disclosures.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic Net Income (Loss) per Share is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plusand when dilutive, the weighted average number ofpotential net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method. In periods with a net loss, the diluted loss per share equals the basic loss per share as all common stock equivalents are excluded from the per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, employee stock options to purchase3.3 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase 1,068,6001.1 million shares of common stock amounted to 240,403240,000 shares, which were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase 1,068,6001.1 million shares of common stock amounted to 238,151238,000 shares, which were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, employee stock options to purchase 2,227,600 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Impact of COVID-19

The following discussion is intended to provide certain information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and management’s efforts to respond to those impacts.

We continue to closely monitor our operations and government recommendations and have taken steps to make the safety, security and welfare of our employees, their families and our residents a top priority.

We have complied with government “stay-at-home” orders and “social distancing” practices. We have implemented remote working arrangements for our non-essential employees. Our IT system and website allow for virtual tours of our homes for sale or rent, online execution of applications and lease agreements, online payment of rent, and other enhancements. With the lifting of shelter-in-place mandates, we are experiencing high demand for our rental homes and our homes for sale. We are also experiencing fewer move-outs. We continue to maintain our communities and deliver essential services to our residents while following social distancing protocols.

We had suspended the mailing of rent increase notifications in March and April which delayed these increases. These increases would have been effective May 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020. This affected May’s rental income by approximately $24,000 and June’s rental income by an additional $20,000. We have since resumed our regular rent increase schedule. We had instituted deferred payment plans, as needed, to our residents who have experienced financial hardship related to COVID-19. Less than 100 residents (less than 1%) have executed these payment plans. Although the unemployment benefits and the economic stimulus payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act are no longer in effect, many states have their own rental assistance programs in place and rent collections have remained at pre-pandemic levels. We have collected 95% of October’s site and home rent compared to 95% at the same time last year. Site and home rental charges for the third quarter are currently over 98% collected.

27

 

Overview

The significance, extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 remains largely uncertain and dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time. We will continue to monitor these rapidly evolving developments and respond in the best interests of our employees, residents and shareholders. At this time, we believe that the fallout from COVID-19 will not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included elsewhere herein and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

The Company is a self-administered, self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) with headquarters in Freehold, New Jersey. The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities which includes leasing manufactured home spaces on an annual or month-to-month basis to residential manufactured homeowners. The Company also leases homes to residents and, through its taxable REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), sells and finances the sale of manufactured homes to qualified residents and prospective residents of our communities.communities and for placement on customers’ privately-owned land.

As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company owned and operated 122124 manufactured home communities containing approximately 23,00023,400 developed homesites.home sites. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan and Maryland.

27

The Company earns income from the operation of its manufactured home communities, leasing of manufactured homesites, the rental of manufactured homes, the sale and finance of manufactured homes, the brokering of home sales, and from appreciation in the values of the manufactured home communities and vacant land owned by the Company. The Company also invests in marketable securities of other REITs, which the Company generally limits to no more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets. As of September 30, 2020, the securities portfolio represented 6.3% of undepreciated assets.

The Company believes that its capital structure, which allows for the ownership of assets using a balanced combination of equity obtained through the issuance of common stock, preferred stock and debt, will enhance shareholder returns as the properties appreciate over time.

The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring value-add communities that yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. This has resulted in increased occupancy rates and improved operating results. For the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, total income increased 12%16% from the prior year period and Community Net Operating Income (“NOI”), as defined below, increased 11%17%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, total income increased 14%11% from the prior year period and Community NOI increased 8%19%. Same property occupancy,NOI, which includes communities owned and operated as of January 1, 2018,2019, increased by 170 basis points to 84.0%14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 over the prior year period. Same property NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased 6.0% over the prior year period.period driven by a 320 basis point increase in occupancy to 86.9%. We have been positioning ourselves for future growth and will continue to seek opportunistic investments. There is no assurance that the Company can continue to buyacquire existing manufactured home communities that meet the requirements of the business plan or that the demand for rental homes will continue in the future.

Sales

With the lifting of shelter-in-place mandates, sales of manufactured homes decreased 7% forincreased 54% and 8% during the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to timing of closings and a strong third quarter 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, sales increased 25%2020, respectively, from the prior year period.periods. Demand for quality affordable housing remains healthy due to improvements in the economy, sustained wage and job growth and still favorable interest rates. Conventional single-family home prices continue their rise supported by low inventories and increasing sales. As household formation strengthens and for-salewhile inventory remains limited, a large share of housing demand will be looking at alternative forms of housing.is scarce. Our property type offers substantial comparative value that should result in increased demand.

The macro-economic environment and current housing fundamentals continue to favor home rentals. Rental homes in a manufactured home community allow the resident to obtain the efficiencies of factory-built housing and the amenities of community living for less than the cost of other forms of affordable housing. We continue to see strong demand for rental homes. We have added an additional 768684 rental homes including 188 acquired through acquisitions, during the first nine months of 2019.2020. This brings the total number of rental homes to approximately 7,3008,100 rental homes, or 31.9%34.5% of total sites. Occupied rental homes represent approximately 35.5%38.7% of total occupied sites at quarter end. Occupancy in rental homes continues to be strong and is at 92.4%95.4% as of September 30, 2019.2020. We compare favorably with other types of rental housing, including apartments, and we will continue to allocate capital to rental home purchases, as demand dictates. WeAlthough COVID-19 delayed our rental home purchases, we continue to anticipate adding a total of approximately 800 - 900 rental homes in 2019, not including those acquired through acquisitions.2020.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of Assets and Liabilities, Revenues and Expenses, and related disclosure of contingent Assets and Liabilities at the date of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

On a regular basis, management evaluates our assumptions, judgments and estimates. Management believes there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our significant accounting policies and estimates under Item 7, “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, 2018.2019.

Supplemental Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, 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 we believe 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 related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and include Community NOI, Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“FFO”), and Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”).

29

We define Community NOI as rental and related income less community operating expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, community salaries, utilities, insurance and other expenses. We believe that Community NOI is helpful to investors and analysts as a direct measure of the actual operating results of our manufactured home communities, rather than our Company overall. Community NOI should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Community NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

The Company’s Community NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 20182019 is calculated as follows:follows (in thousands):

We also assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“FFO”), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of a REIT. FFO, as defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), represents net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United StatesU.S. of America (“U.S. GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items, as defined under U.S. GAAP, gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, and the change in the fair value of marketable securities plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. Included in the NAREIT FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, is an option pertaining to assets incidental to our main business in the calculation of NAREIT FFO to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of these assets, such as marketable equity securities and include or exclude mark-to-market changes in the value recognized on these marketable equity securities. In conjunction with ourthe adoption of the FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, for all periods presented, we have elected to exclude the change in the fair value of marketable securities from our FFO calculation. Prior to the adoption of the FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, we utilized Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO), which we defined as FFO, excluding the change in the fair value of marketable securities. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”), as FFO, excluding gains and losses realized on marketable securities investments and certain one-time charges. FFO and Normalized FFO should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have a different cost basis. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO and Normalized FFO and, accordingly, our FFO and Normalized FFO may not be comparable to certainall other REITs. The items excluded from FFO and Normalized FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.

30

FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2018 and 2019, as well as increases in rental rates and same property occupancy and additional rental homes. The Company has been raising rental rates by approximately 3% to 5% annually at most communities. Same property occupancy has increased 170320 basis points from 82.3%83.7% as of September 30, 20182019 to 84.0%86.9% at quarter-end. Occupied rental homes increased 16%15% from approximately 5,800 homes at September 30, 2018 to 6,700 homes at September 30, 2019.2019 to 7,700 homes at September 30, 2020.

Community Operating Expenses increased 18% from $38,758,711 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $45,885,560 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These increases were primarily due to an increase in water and sewer costs, tree removal, rental home expenses and payroll and personnel costs primarily from the acquisitions made during 2018 and 2019 and the increase in rental homes.

Community NOI increased 11%17% from $15,439,363$17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 to $17,176,065$20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.2020. Community NOI increased 8%19% from $45,477,615$49.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 to $49,094,247$58.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions during 20182019 and 2019,2020, and increases in rental rates, occupancy and rental homes. The Company’s Operating Expense Ratio (defined as Community Operating Expenses divided by Rental and Related Income) was 46.3%47.5% and 47.5%44.7%, excluding non-recurring operating expenses, for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2019,2020, respectively. The Company’s Operating Expense Ratio was 46.0%47.8% and 47.8%44.6%, excluding non-recurring operating expenses, for the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2019,2020, respectively. Many recently acquired communities have deferred maintenance requiring higher than normal expenditures in the first few years of ownership. Because most of the community expenses consist of fixed costs, as occupancy rates increase, these expense ratios are expected to continue to improve. Since the Company has the ability to increase its rental rates annually, increasing costs due to inflation and changing prices have generally not had a material effect on revenues and income from continuing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s focus is on real estate investments, including investment in rental homes. Additionally, the Company invests in marketable debt and equity securities of other REITs. The REIT securities portfolio provides the Company with liquidity and additional income and serves as a proxy for real estate when more favorable risk adjusted returns are not available. The Company generally limits its marketable securities investments to no more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets.

The Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the Company’s stockholders,shareholders, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service, purchases of manufactured home inventory and rental homes, investment in marketable securities of other REITs, financing of manufactured home sales and payments of expenses relating to real estate operations. We may also use capital resources to repurchase additional shares of our common stock under our Share Repurchase Program when we believe the stock is trading at a significant discount to net asset value. We anticipate that the liquidity demands of the recent properties acquired will be met by the operations of these acquisitions. The Company’s ability to generate cash adequate to meet these demands is dependent primarily on income from its real estate investments and marketable securities portfolio, the sale of real estate investments and marketable securities, refinancing of mortgage debt, leveraging of real estate investments, availability of bank borrowings, lines of credit, proceeds from the DRIP, and access to the capital markets, including proceeds from our recently adopted ATM Program.markets.

35

 

In addition to cash generated through operations, the Company uses a variety of sources to fund its cash needs, including acquisitions. The Company may sell marketable securities from its investment portfolio, borrow on its unsecured credit facility or lines of credit, finance and refinance its properties, and/or raise capital through the DRIP and capital markets, including through the Company’s recently adoptedATM Programs. In order to provide financial flexibility to opportunistically access the capital markets, the Company has implemented both a Common ATM Program and a New Preferred ATM Program. The Common ATM Program allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock, having an aggregate sales price of up to $100 million from time to time through the Distribution Agents. The New Preferred ATM Program allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock, having an aggregate sales price of up to $100 million from time to time.

The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. There is no guarantee that any of these additional opportunities will materialize or that the Company will be able to take advantage of such opportunities. The growth of our real estate portfolio depends on the availability of suitable properties which meet the Company’s investment criteria and appropriate financing. Competition in the market areas in which the Company operates is significant. To the extent that funds or appropriate communities are not available, fewer acquisitions will be made.

The extent to which COVID-19 and related actions impact our operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any degree of confidence, including the scope, severity, duration and geographies of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or mitigate its impact requested or mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise voluntarily taken by individuals or businesses, the success of governmental actions undertaken to support the economy during the pandemic and the duration and severity of direct and indirect economic effects of the illness and containment measures, among others.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to information required regarding risk factors from the end of the preceding year to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors except as set forth below:

We face various risks and uncertainties related to public health crises, including the recent and ongoing global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The COVID-19 pandemic is growing and its impact is uncertain and hard to measure, but may have a material adverse effect on us.

We face various risks and uncertainties related to public health crises, including the recent and ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted financial markets and significantly impacted worldwide economic activity to date and is likely to continue to do so.

The COVID-19 pandemic and social and governmental responses to the pandemic have caused, and are likely to continue to cause, severe economic, market and other disruptions in the United States and worldwide, including unprecedented job losses and an economic downturn. The extent to which COVID-19 and related actions impact our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any degree of confidence, including the scope, severity, duration and geographies of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or mitigate its impact requested or mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise voluntarily taken by individuals or businesses, the success of governmental actions undertaken to support the economy during the pandemic and the duration and severity of direct and indirect economic effects of the illness and containment measures, among others. In response to the outbreak, the United States, like many countries around the world, has taken a variety of countermeasures, such as quarantines, “shelter in place” and stay-at-home orders and restrictions on business activities, group gatherings and travel, which have caused disruptions in the U.S. and global economy, financial markets and supply chains and have adversely impacted many businesses and industries and created significant economic uncertainty. Residents in our communities have lost jobs or experienced financial hardship related to COVID-19, which may adversely affect their ability to make rent payments in full or on a timely basis. In addition, individual states and localities have adopted or may consider adopting policies requiring and forbearance with respect to delinquent rent and mortgage payments, evictions and foreclosures, and the nature, timing and impact of any future public policy decisions and actions with respect to these matters cannot be predicted. The pandemic and related governmental orders may also cause us to incur increased costs, require us to provide employees with additional time off and increase our vulnerability to cyber-attacks while employees work from home. In addition, an economic downturn due to the pandemic may adversely affect the market values of our communities and our portfolio of REIT securities as well as our stock price and may impair our access to capital and our ability to incur indebtedness. As a result, while the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic on us are uncertain and will depend on numerous factors beyond our control, the pandemic and the actions taken in response could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects.

40

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic or the actions taken in response adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or prospects, this may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under the heading “Risk Factors”.
