the Chairman of the Board

Eugene W. Landy

Dear Shareholders:
When I was a young third officer on merchant 
ships,  no  one  shipped  goods  by  containers. 
The  high  cost  of  shipping  inhibited  commerce.   
A visionary business owner, Malcom McLean, conceived the concept 
of shipping containers. Now, very large ships transport as many as 
18,000 containers at a time.  Most of the world’s commerce moves 
by  containers.    Over  the  past  sixty  years,  world  commerce  has 
fueled  economic  growth  and  lifted  living  standards  everywhere.  
Just  as  containers  revolutionized  the  transport  of  goods,  so  will 
factory-built housing revolutionize the ability to house our citizens.  
As the United States of America goes from a nation of 300,000,000 
people to a nation of 450,000,000 people, housing will become an 
even more critical need.  The public will demand quality, safe and 
affordable housing.  The barriers to affordable housing that exist 
today  whether  in  regulation,  zoning  or  finance,  will  be  reduced.  
Manufactured  housing  will  become  a  major  U.S.  industry.    UMH 
has and intends to continue to position itself to be a significant 
factor in this regard.  UMH builds communities, sells and finances 
homes and manages communities.    

Since 1968, UMH has selected affordable manufactured housing 
as  its  field  of  expertise.    Manufactured  housing  can  help  fill 
today’s and tomorrow’s need for affordable housing.  The growth 
and  prosperity  that  UMH  has  achieved  in  an  adverse  business 
climate,  can  be  magnified  in  the  future.    UMH  can  excel  in  a 
stronger climate as housing demand rises over the next decade.

Economics 

The  combination  of  rising  home  demand  and  a  strong 
in  UMH  shares  as  
economy 
a 
demographics 
and 
dictate  a  coming  resurgence  in  housing.    UMH  is  better  
positioned for growth today than at any time in its history.  UMH 
has  maintained  a  strong  balance  sheet  and  will  continue  its 
program of acquiring valuable manufactured home communities 
at prices substantially below replacement cost.

The  advent  of  long-term  low  cost  mortgage  financing  for  our 
communities  increases  our  liquidity  and  reduces  our  cost 
of  capital.    Our  rental  housing  program  provides  a  bridge  to 
increase the occupancy in our communities.  Management will 
recommend to the Board of Directors continuance of the current 
$0.18  quarterly  per  share  distributions  because  we  anticipate 
increases in earnings and liquidity.

I would like to thank the Board of Directors, the officers and staff 
for  working  together  for  so  many  years.    I  know  of  only  a  few 
Chairmen who have had the privilege of having a long and close 
relationship with the directors, staff and shareholders as I have.

On a very personal note, I would like to thank my sons, Samuel 
and Michael Landy, for assisting in building this needed enterprise. 

Very truly yours,

A message from 
the President

Samuel A. Landy

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I  am  pleased  to  report  that  UMH  continues  to 
make  progress  in  growing  the  Company  and 
building  long-term  value  for  our  shareholders. 
During  2014,  the  Company’s  accomplishments 
included the following:

•  Acquired 14 communities containing a total of 1,600 developed 

homesites for $42.6 million;

•  Entered into definitive agreements to purchase an additional 
4  communities  containing  623  developed  homesites  for 
approximately $12.9 million;

•  Increased same store occupancy from 81.5% to 83.2%;
•  Increased 
from 

community 

operations 

by  

income 
24% to $30.3 million;

•  Raised approximately $32.8 million in common equity capital;
•  Increased  our  rental  home  portfolio  by  adding  900  homes, 
representing an increase of 53% to 2,600 total rental homes;
•  Maintained  a  high  occupancy  rate  of  91.5%  at  yearend  

on our rental home portfolio; and

•  Realized  $1.5  million  in  gains  from  our  REIT  securities 

investments.

Following  last  year’s  27%  growth  in  total  homesites,  in  2014 
we  acquired  14  communities  containing  approximately  1,600 
developed  homesites  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $42.6 
million.  This represents an 12% increase in total homesites over 
the  prior  year.    We’ve  been  successfully  executing  our  growth 
strategy and over the past five years we have more than doubled 
our  portfolio  by  acquiring  a  total  of  61  communities  containing 
over 8,300 developed homesites.  Our portfolio is now comprised 
of  89  communities  with  15,200  developed  homesites  located 
throughout  seven  states.    Our  acquisition  focus  over  this  period 
has  been  to  purchase  communities  in  locations  that  we  believe 
are  poised  to  experience  strong  long-term  economic  growth. 
We  have  been  making  the  appropriate  capital  improvements  to 

2

renovate these communities. We’ve been adding sales staff and 
marketing  at  these  communities  and  as  a  result,  we  are  now 
seeing increases in income and occupancy starting to take hold. 
Our significant acquisition activity has proven to be opportunistic 
as competition has recently increased and prices for manufactured 
home  communities  have  risen  substantially.  As  a  result  of  the 
continued  growth  in  the  domestic  energy  sector,  several  of  our 
markets  are  experiencing  strong  demand.  We  believe  we  are 
still in the early stages as fracking technology has only recently 
started to unleash the abundant resources that were once thought 
trapped  by  geology.  With  57  of  our  89  communities  situated  in 
the Marcellus and Utica shale regions, we are very confident that 
UMH’s future prospects have never looked better.

Subsequent  to  yearend,  we  acquired  an  additional  community 
containing  141  developed  homesites  in  Erie,  Pennsylvania  for  a 
purchase  price  of  $3,800,000.  We  continue  to  seek  acquisitions 
in our target markets and currently have definitive agreements to 
purchase three manufactured home communities in Pennsylvania, 
containing a total of 482 developed homesites, for approximately 
$9.1  million.    While  community  acquisitions  often  require 
additional capital investments in order to bring these communities 
up to our high standards, we are confident that these transactions 
will have a favorable impact in delivering long-term value to our 
shareholders. 

N233485_v15_UMH_AR2015_Interior.indd   2

4/21/15   12:37 PM

As  of  yearend,  our  capital  structure  consisted  of  approximately 
$260  million  in  debt,  of  which  $183  million  was  community 
level  mortgage  debt  and  $77  million  were  loans  payable.    The 
weighted average interest rate on our mortgage debt is 4.8% and 
the weighted average maturity is 5.3 years.  96% of our mortgage 
debt is fixed rate.  The Company also had a total of $92 million 
in  perpetual  preferred  equity  at  yearend.    Our  preferred  stock, 
combined with an equity market capitalization of $233 million and 
our $260 million in debt, results in a total market capitalization of 
approximately $585 million at yearend. We ended the year with 
net debt to total market capitalization at 43% and with $8.1 million 
in cash and cash equivalents. Using low-cost debt and perpetual 
preferred  equity  to  acquire  communities,  whose  value  can  be 
increased by capital investment, should prove very profitable to 
long-term shareholders over time.

Overall sales of manufactured homes in the US remain muted. Total 
shipments  grew  6.8%  year  over  year  from  60,200  manufactured 
homes to 64,300 in 2014. This level of shipments is a fraction of 
what the industry experienced from the late 60’s through the late 
90’s when annual shipments rarely fell below 200,000 units and 
fluctuated between 15% and 25% of total new housing starts. Today, 
manufactured home shipments represent just 6% of new housing 
starts. Much of the excess housing that was built as the housing 
bubble was inflating has now been absorbed. Homeownership rates 
have fallen from 69% to 64% due to a return of conservative lending 
standards.  UMH,  like  the  other  manufactured  housing  REITS,  has 
recently  embraced  the  apartment  model  of  renting  not  just  the 
land but the home as well. This has resulted in increased occupancy 
rates  and  we  will  continue  with  this  approach  until  demand  for 
manufactured home ownership returns to normal levels. 

In  2014  we  raised  approximately  $32.8  million  in  common 
equity  through  our  Dividend  Reinvestment  and  Stock  Purchase 
Plan  (DRIP)  to  help  fund  our  acquisition  pipeline.  Investors  who 
participate in our DRIP can enhance their returns by reinvesting 
their  dividends  and  achieving  a  compounded  return.  Over  the 
years, our DRIP has proven to be a very reliable program to help 
fund our growth.  Additionally, over the past five years, we have 
been very successful in harnessing gains from our REIT securities 
investments  and  redeploying  that  capital  into  our  community 
acquisitions. Our securities portfolio generated $1.5 million in net 
realized gains in 2014 and an additional $5.1 million in unrealized 
gains at yearend. While the housing sector as a whole has faced 
a very difficult period since 2008, our securities investments have 
greatly prospered. By generating over $16.0 million in net realized 
gains since 2010, our REIT securities investments have helped to 
provide the growth capital to fund our robust acquisition program. 
Because  this  type  of  out-performance  would  be  very  difficult 
to  replicate  on  a  recurring  basis,  we  have  been  positioning  the 
Company to be less reliant on securities gains going forward.

UMH’s occupancy in 2014 showed good improvement. Our overall 
occupancy rate was 82.3% at yearend as compared to 81.5% in the 
prior year. Given the substantial amount of acquisitions we’ve been 
doing, same store occupancy is a more meaningful metric to gauge 
the  demand  we  are  seeing.  Our  same  store  occupancy  increased 
substantially in 2014, rising from 81.5% to 83.2%. Our occupancy 
increases have been driven by demand for home rentals.  Over the 
past two years, we have added approximately 1,500 rental units to 
our communities.  At yearend, we had a total of 2,600 rental units.

Letter from the President (continued)

Occupancy in rental units continues to be strong and is currently 
91.5%.  Occupied rental units now represent approximately 20% of 
total occupied sites.  As a result of the economic growth that we 
are seeing in several of our markets, the potential for continued 
occupancy improvements is high heading into 2015. 

New home sales for UMH were disappointing this year with $7.5 
million in sales versus $8.7 million in 2013.  Home sales are an 
integral part of increasing occupancy and enhancing community 
values. While the main demand driver today is rental units, we are 
actively working with our tenant base to find ways of converting 
some  of  these  rental  units  into  sales.  Unfortunately,  the  Dodd-
Frank home financing rules that took effect this year as well as 
the SAFE Act of 2008, have made it much more difficult for people 
to qualify for home ownership. Even the former Chairman of the 
Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke was recently rejected for a home 
mortgage.  There are proposals to amend this bill being discussed so  
more  households  can  once  again  qualify  for  purchasing  an 
affordable home.

CURRENT

UMH currently has approximately $20.8 million in manufactured 
home loans secured by homes situated within our communities. Our 
loan portfolio continues to perform well and delivers a weighted 
average  yield  of  approximately  9.5%.  These  loans  are  primarily 
made  with  a  10%  down  payment  and  a  15  year  amortization 
schedule.  The  annual  amount  that  we  receive  in  principal  and 
interest is approximately $3.5 million.  

per  diluted  share  in  the  prior  year,  representing  an  increase  of 
23%.  These  increases  were  primarily  due  to  the  acquisition  of 
14  communities,  the  addition  of  rental  units,  and  the  increased 
occupancy. UMH currently has approximately 2,600 vacant sites. 
This 18% vacancy factor can provide us with substantial operating 
leverage  to  organically  grow  our  earnings  as  demand  increases. 
Filling  these  vacant  sites  would  increase  our  gross  income  by 
approximately $12.5 million per year and increase our net income 
by  approximately  $7.0  million  per  year.  Based  on  our  current 
portfolio, each 1% increase in occupancy, will result in an increase 
of approximately $0.02 in earnings per share.

Housing starts in the US are currently running at an annual rate 
of 1.0 million units. This rate is substantially less than the historic 
average  household  formation  rate  of  1.5  million  units.  Single-
family  homes  accounted  for  64  percent  of  all  housing  starts  in 
2014. This represents the lowest amount since 1985. Multi-family 
apartment  construction  has  been  gaining  market  share  since 
2008 as a result of the tightened lending standards. Conventional 
homeownership rates have continued to fall and are currently at 
64%, down from a high of just under 70% in 2007. This has resulted 
in continued occupancy gains and increased rental rates for the 
apartment sector. Additionally, conventional single-family housing 
costs have continued to rise. All of these factors should help to 
continue to increase demand for our property type. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the dedicated 
members  of  the  UMH  team.  Upgrading  and  integrating  the 
substantial  amount  of  acquisitions  that  we  have  completed 
over  the  past  several  years  required  great  effort  throughout  the 
organization.  Our  team  rose  to  the  occasion  and  we  are  now 
very well-positioned for continued growth and success. We have 
successfully more than doubled our portfolio in just five years and 
we  should  all  be  proud  of  this  major  achievement.  I  would  also 
like  to  thank  our  directors  for  their  hard  work  and  commitment 
to creating long-term value for UMH. Thank you to all of our loyal 
shareholders for your faith and trust. We look forward to reporting 
back to you in the year ahead.

Over  the  past  five  years,  UMH  has  grown  into  a  much  larger 
company.  Rental  revenue  has  risen  from  under  $30  million 
annually to now approaching $65 million. For the full year, rental 
and  related  income  was  $63.9  million,  as  compared  to  $53.5 
million for 2013, representing an increase of 19%.  Core FFO was 
$12.3  million  or  $0.55  per  diluted  share,  as  compared  to  $11.4 
million or $0.61 per diluted share in 2013.  This difference is mainly 
due to the substantial realized gains on our securities investments 
in 2013. Core FFO, excluding securities gains, was $10.8 million 
or $0.48 per diluted share, as compared to $7.3 million or $0.39 

Very truly yours,

Samuel A. Landy

MARCELLUS  AND  UTICA  SHALE  REGION  EXPOSURE

It is estimated that approximately  
500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas  
is contained in the Marcellus and  
Utica Shale reserves. This represents  
more than double the natural gas  
reserves of Saudi Arabia. While it is  
still early in the drilling and exploration 
process, activity surrounding the  
development of these reserves is  
expected to accelerate over the next  
few years. This will have a very favorable   
and direct impact on the region and our 
communities.

General Development of Business 

PART I 

In this Form 10-K, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Company”, refers to UMH Properties, Inc., together with its 

predecessors and subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. 

UMH Properties, Inc. operates as a qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) under Sections 856-860 of 
the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).  The Company had elected REIT status effective January 1, 1992 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 was incorporated in the state of New Jersey in 1968.  On September 29, 2003, the Company 
changed its state of incorporation from New Jersey to Maryland by merging with and into a Maryland corporation, 
with the approval of the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting on August 14, 2003. 

Narrative Description of Business 

The Company derives its income primarily from real estate rental operations.    Its primary business is the 
ownership  and  operation  of  manufactured  home  communities  –  leasing  manufactured  home  sites  to  private 
manufactured home owners.   The Company  also leases homes to residents, and through its  wholly-owned  taxable 
REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F), conducts manufactured home sales in its communities.   

As of December 31, 2014, the Company owns and operates eighty-eight manufactured home communities 
containing approximately 15,000 developed sites.   The communities are located in New Jersey,  New York, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania,  Tennessee,  Indiana  and  Michigan.    On  January  21,  2015,  the  Company  acquired  one  manufactured 
home community located in Pennsylvania for approximately $3,800,000. This all-age community contains 141 home 
sites and is situated on approximately 40 acres. The average occupancy for this community is approximately 96%.  
With this purchase, UMH now owns eighty-nine manufactured home communities consisting of approximately 15,200 
developed sites. 

A manufactured home community is designed to accommodate detached, single-family manufactured homes.  
These manufactured homes are produced off-site by manufacturers and installed on sites within the community.  These 
homes are often improved with the addition of features constructed on site, including garages, screened rooms and 
carports.   Manufactured homes are available in a  variety of designs  and  floor plans, offering  many amenities and 
custom options.  Each owner of a manufactured home leases the site on which the home is located from the Company. 

Manufactured  homes  are  accepted  by  the  public  as  a  viable  and  economically  attractive  alternative  to 
common  stick-built  single-family  housing.    The  affordability  of  the  modern  manufactured  home  makes  it  a  very 
attractive housing alternative.  Depending on the region of the country, construction cost per square foot for a new 
manufactured  home  averages  anywhere  from  10  percent  to  50  percent  less  than  a  comparable  site-built  home, 
excluding the cost of land.  This is due to a number of factors, including volume purchase discounts and inventory 
control of construction  materials and control of all aspects of the construction process, which generally produce a 
more efficient and streamlined process as compared to a site-built home. 

Modern residential land lease communities are similar to typical residential subdivisions containing central 
entrances, paved well-lit streets, curbs and gutters.  The size of a modern manufactured home community is limited, 
as are other residential communities, by factors such as geography, topography, and funds available for development.  
Generally, modern manufactured home communities contain buildings for recreation, green areas, and other common 
area facilities, which, as distinguished from resident owned manufactured homes, are the property of the community 
owner.    In  addition  to  such  general  improvements,  certain  manufactured  home  communities  include  recreational 
improvements  such  as  swimming  pools,  tennis  courts  and  playgrounds.    Municipal  water  and  sewer  services  are 
available to some manufactured home communities, while other communities supply these facilities on site.

Therefore, the owner of a home in our communities leases from us not only the site on which the home is located, 
but also the physical community framework, and acquires the right to utilize the community common areas and 
amenities.  

Typically, our leases are on an annual or month-to-month basis, renewable upon the consent of both parties.  
The community manager interviews prospective residents, collects rent and finance payments, ensures compliance 
with  community  regulations,  maintains  public  areas  and  community  facilities  and  is  responsible  for  the  overall 
appearance of the community.  The manufactured home community, once fully occupied, historically tends to achieve 
a stable rate of occupancy.  The cost and effort in moving a home once it is located in a community encourages the 
owner of the manufactured home to resell the manufactured home rather than to remove it from the community.  This 
ability to produce relatively predictable income streams, together with the location of the community, its condition 
and its appearance, are factors in the long-term appreciation of the community. 

Inherent  in  the  operation  of  a  manufactured  home  community  is  the  development,  redevelopment,  and 
expansion of our communities.  The Company sells and finances the sale of manufactured homes in our communities 
through S&F.  S&F was established to potentially enhance the value of our communities.  The home sales business is 
operated like other homebuilders with sales centers, model homes, an inventory of completed homes and the ability 
to supply custom designed homes based upon the requirements of the new homeowners. 

The Company also owns a portfolio of investment securities, which the Company generally limits to no more 

than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets. 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 260 employees, of which the Company shares 1 
officer (Chairman of the Board) and 2 additional employees (Controller and Director of Investor Relations) with a 
related entity, Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation (MREIC).  The Controller and the Director of Investor 
Relations time  was allocated 70% to MREIC and 30% to the Company.  Effective January 1, 2015, the Company 
reduced  the  number  of  employees  it  shares  with  MREIC  to  1  officer  (Chairman  of  the  Board)  and  1  additional 
employee  (Director  of  Investor  Relations).    Allocations  of  salaries  and  benefits  are  based  on  the  amount  of  the 
employees’ time dedicated to each company.  Some general and administrative expenses, including office rent, are 
allocated between the Company and  MREIC based on use  or services provided.   Effective January 2015, MREIC 
obtained a separate lease and office rent is no longer allocated between the Company and MREIC. 

Investment and Other Policies of the Company 

The  Company  may  invest  in  improved  and  unimproved  real  property  and  may  develop  unimproved  real 
property.  Such properties may be located throughout the  United States, but the Company has concentrated on the 
Northeast.  

The Company may finance communities with purchase money mortgages or other financing, including first 
liens, wraparound mortgages or subordinated indebtedness.  In connection with its ongoing activities, the Company 
may issue notes, mortgages or other senior securities.  The Company intends to use both secured and unsecured lines 
of credit.  

The Company may issue securities for property; however, this has not occurred to date.  The Company may 
repurchase or reacquire its shares from time to time if, in the opinion of the  Board of Directors, such acquisition is 
advantageous to the Company.  No shares were repurchased or reacquired during 2014 and, as of December 31, 2014, 
the Company does not own any of its own shares. 

The Company also invests in equity securities of other REITs. The Company from time to time may purchase 
these securities on margin when the interest and dividend yields exceed the cost of funds.  As of December 31, 2014, 
the Company had borrowings of $19,392,382 under its margin line at 2.0% interest.  The securities portfolio provides 
the Company with additional income and, to the extent not pledged to secure borrowings, provides the Company with 
liquidity.  Such securities are subject to risk arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, primarily interest 
rate  risk  and  market  price  risk  relating  to  equity  securities.    From  time  to  time,  the  Company  may  use  derivative 
instruments to mitigate interest rate risk; however, this has not occurred during any periods presented.  At December 
31,  2014  and  2013,  the  Company  had  $63,555,961  and  $59,254,942,  respectively,  of  securities  available  for  sale.  
Included in these securities are Preferred Stock of $19,045,983 and $24,536,942 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 

-4- 

- 4 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
respectively.  The unrealized net gain on securities available for sale at December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to 
$5,079,921 and $1,116,738, respectively. 

Property Maintenance and Improvement Policies 

It  is  the  policy  of  the  Company  to  properly  maintain,  modernize,  expand  and  make  improvements  to  its 
properties when required.  The Company anticipates that renovation expenditures with respect to its present properties 
during  2015  will  be  approximately  $7  million.    It  is  the  policy  of  the  Company  to  maintain  adequate  insurance 
coverage on all of its properties; and, in the opinion of the Company, all of its properties are adequately insured. 

Number of Employees 

As of March 2, 2015, the Company had approximately 260 employees, including Officers.  During the year, 
the Company hires approximately 30 part-time and full-time temporary employees as grounds keepers, lifeguards, and 
for emergency repairs. 

Financial Information 

Management views the Company as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to 
its allocation of capital and resources. For required financial information related to our operations and assets, please 
refer to our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in Item 8 “Financial Statements 
and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

Item 1A – Risk Factors 

The following risk factors address the material risks concerning our business. If any of the risks discussed in 
this report were to occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operation and our ability to service 
our debt and make distributions to our shareholders could be materially and adversely affected and the market price 
per share of our stock could decline significantly. Some statements in this report, including statements in the following 
risk  factors,  constitute  forward-looking  statements.  Please  refer  to  the  section  entitled  “Cautionary  Statement 
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” 

Real Estate Industry Risks 

General economic conditions and the concentration of our properties in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana and Michigan may affect our ability to generate sufficient revenue.  The market 
and economic conditions in our current markets may significantly affect manufactured home occupancy or rental rates.  
Occupancy and rental rates, in turn, may significantly affect our revenues, and if our communities do not generate 
revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and 
ability to pay or refinance our debt obligations could be adversely affected.  As a result of the geographic concentration 
of our properties in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana and Michigan, we are exposed 
to the risks of downturns in the local economy or other local real estate market conditions which could adversely affect 
occupancy rates, rental rates, and property values in these markets. 

Other factors that may affect general economic conditions or local real estate conditions include: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the national and local economic climate which may be adversely impacted by, among other factors, 
plant closings, and industry slowdowns; 

local real estate market conditions such as the oversupply of manufactured home sites or a reduction 
in demand for manufactured home sites in an area;  

the number of repossessed homes in a particular market;  

the rental  market  which  may  limit the  extent to  which rents  may be increased to meet increased 
expenses without decreasing occupancy rates;  

the safety, convenience and attractiveness of our properties and the neighborhoods where they are 
located; 

zoning or other regulatory restrictions;  

competition from other available manufactured home communities and alternative forms of housing 
(such as apartment buildings and single-family homes); 

our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance; 

increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities; and 

the enactment of rent control laws or laws taxing the owners of manufactured homes.  

Our income would also be adversely affected if tenants were unable to pay rent or if sites were unable to be 
rented on favorable terms.  If we were unable to promptly relet or renew the leases for a significant number of sites, 
or if the rental rates upon such renewal or reletting were significantly lower than expected rates, then our business and 
results of operations could be adversely affected.  In addition, certain expenditures associated with each property (such 
as real estate taxes and maintenance costs) generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income 
from the property.

We may be unable to compete with our larger competitors and other alternatives available to tenants or 
potential tenants of our properties, which may in turn adversely affect our profitability.  The real estate business is 
highly competitive.  We compete for manufactured home community investments with numerous other real estate 
entities, such as individuals, corporations, REITs and other enterprises engaged in real estate activities.  In many cases, 
the  competing  concerns  may  be  larger  and  better  financed  than  we  are,  making  it  difficult  for  us  to  secure  new 
manufactured  home  community  investments.    Competition  among  private  and  institutional  purchasers  of 
manufactured home community investments  has resulted in  increases  in the purchase price paid for manufactured 
home  communities  and  consequent  higher  fixed  costs.    To  the  extent  we  are  unable  to effectively  compete  in  the 
marketplace, our business may be adversely affected.     

Our ability to sell manufactured homes may be affected by various factors, which may in turn adversely 
affect  our  profitability.    S&F  operates  in  the  manufactured  home  market  offering  homes  for  sale  to  tenants  and 
prospective tenants of our communities.  The market for the sale of manufactured homes may be adversely affected 
by the following factors: 

 

 

 

 

downturns in economic conditions which adversely impact the housing market;  

an oversupply of, or a reduced demand for, manufactured homes;  

the difficulty facing potential purchasers in obtaining affordable financing as a result of heightened 
lending criteria; and  

an increase or decrease in the rate of manufactured home repossessions which provide aggressively 
priced competition to new manufactured home sales. 

Any of the above listed factors could adversely impact our rate of manufactured home sales, which would 

result in a decrease in profitability. 

Costs  associated  with  taxes  and  regulatory  compliance  may  reduce  our  revenue.    We  are  subject  to 
significant regulation that inhibits our activities and may increase our costs.  Local zoning and use laws, environmental 
statutes  and  other  governmental  requirements  may  restrict  expansion,  rehabilitation  and  reconstruction  activities.  
These  regulations  may  prevent  us  from  taking  advantage  of  economic  opportunities.    Legislation  such  as  the 
Americans with Disabilities Act may require us to modify our properties at a substantial cost and noncompliance could 
result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants.  Future legislation may impose additional 
requirements.  We cannot predict what requirements may be enacted or amended or what costs we will incur to comply 
with such requirements.  Costs resulting from changes in real estate laws, income taxes, service or other taxes may 
adversely affect our funds from operations and our ability to pay or refinance our debt.  Similarly, changes in laws 
increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on 
discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely affect our 
business and results of operations.   

Licensing  laws  and  compliance  could  affect  our  profitability.   We  are  subject  to  the  Secure  and  Fair 
Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (“SAFE Act”), which requires that we obtain appropriate licenses 
pursuant to the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System & Registry in each state where we conduct business.  There 
are extensive federal and state requirements mandated by the SAFE Act and other laws pertaining to financing, and 
there can be no assurance that we will obtain or renew our SAFE Act licenses, which could result in fees and penalties 
and have an adverse impact on our ability to continue with our home financing activities.   

Rent control legislation may harm our ability to increase rents.  State and local rent control laws in certain 
jurisdictions may limit our ability to increase rents and to recover increases in operating expenses and the costs of 
capital improvements.  Currently, rent control affects only two of our manufactured home communities, both of which 
are in New Jersey, and has resulted in slower growth of earnings from these properties.  However, we may purchase 
additional properties in markets that are either subject to rent control or in which rent-limiting legislation exists or 
may be enacted.

Our investments are concentrated in the manufactured housing/residential sector and our business would 

be adversely affected by an economic downturn in that sector.  Our investments in real estate assets are primarily 
 concentrated  in  the  manufactured  housing/residential  sector.    This  concentration  may  expose  us  to  the  risk  of 
economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our business activities included a more significant portion 
of other sectors of the real estate industry.   

Environmental  liabilities  could  affect  our  profitability.    Under  various  federal,  state  and  local  laws, 
ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of 
certain  hazardous  substances  at,  on,  under  or  in  such  property,  as  well  as  certain  other  potential  costs  relating  to 
hazardous or toxic substances.  Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, 
or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous substances.  A conveyance of the property, therefore, does not 
relieve the owner or operator from liability.  As a  current  or former owner and operator of real estate,  we  may be 
required by law to investigate and clean up hazardous substances released at or from the properties we currently own 
or operate or have in the past owned or operated. We may also be liable to the government or to third parties for 
property damage, investigation costs and cleanup costs. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the 
contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government incurs in connection with the 
contamination.  Contamination may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real 
estate as collateral.  Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances also may be liable for 
the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility owned or operated by another 
person.    In  addition,  certain  environmental  laws  impose  liability  for  the  management  and  disposal  of  asbestos-
containing materials and for the release of such materials into the air.  These laws may provide for third parties to seek 
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials.  
In connection with the ownership, operation, management, and development of real properties, we may be considered 
an owner or operator of such properties and, therefore, are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, and also 
may  be  liable  for  governmental  fines  and  injuries  to  persons  and  property.  When  we  arrange  for  the  treatment  or 
disposal  of  hazardous  substances  at  landfills  or  other  facilities  owned  by  other  persons,  we  may  be  liable  for  the 
removal  or  remediation  costs  at  such  facilities.    We  are  not  aware  of  any  environmental  liabilities  relating  to  our 
investment properties which would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, or results of operations. 
However, we cannot assure you that environmental liabilities will not arise in the future and that such liabilities will 
not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operation. 

Of  the  eighty-nine  manufactured  home  communities  we  currently  operate,  thirty-five  have  their  own 
wastewater treatment facility or water distribution system, or both.  At these locations, we are subject to compliance 
with  monthly,  quarterly  and  yearly  testing  for  contaminants  as  outlined  by  the  individual  state’s  Department  of 
Environmental Protection Agencies.  Currently, we are not subject to radon or asbestos monitoring requirements.   

Additionally,  in  connection  with  the  management  of  the  properties  or  upon  acquisition  or  financing  of  a 
property, the Company authorizes the preparation of Phase I or similar environmental reports (which involves general 
inspections  without soil sampling or ground  water analysis) completed by independent environmental consultants.  
Based upon such environmental reports and the Company’s ongoing review of its properties, as of the date of this 
Annual Report, the Company is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of its properties which 
it believes would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition  and/or results of 
operations.  However,  these  reports  cannot  reflect  conditions  arising  after  the  studies  were  completed,  and  no 
assurances can be given that existing environmental studies reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner 
or operator of a property or neighboring owner or operator did not create any material environmental condition not 
known to us, or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any one or more properties. 

Actions by our competitors may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our 
properties which could adversely affect our business.  We compete with other owners and operators of manufactured 
home  community  properties,  some  of  which  own  properties  similar  to  ours  in  the  same  submarkets  in  which  our 
properties  are  located.   The  number  of  competitive  manufactured  home  community  properties  in  a  particular  area 
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease sites and increase rents charged at our properties or at any 
newly acquired properties.  In addition, other forms of multi-family residential properties, such as private and federally 
funded or assisted multi-family housing projects and single-family housing, provide housing alternatives to potential 
tenants of manufactured home communities.  If our competitors offer housing at rental rates below current market 
rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants, and we may be pressured 
to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our tenants’ leases expire.

As a result, our financial condition, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to satisfy our debt service 
obligations could be materially adversely affected. 

Losses in excess of our insurance coverage or uninsured losses could adversely affect our cash flow.  We 
generally maintain insurance policies related to our business, including casualty, general liability and other policies 
covering business operations, employees and assets.  However,  we  may be required to bear all losses that are not 
adequately covered by insurance.  In addition, there are certain losses that are not generally insured because it is not 
economically feasible to insure against them, including losses due to riots or acts of war.  If an uninsured loss or a loss 
in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we could lose the capital we 
invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated profits and cash flow from the properties and, in the case of debt 
which is with recourse to us, we would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related 
to the properties.  Although we believe that our insurance programs are adequate, no assurance can be given that we 
will not incur losses in excess of its insurance coverage, or that we will be able to obtain insurance in the future at 
acceptable levels and reasonable cost. 

We  may  not  be able  to  integrate  or  finance  our  acquisitions  and  our  acquisitions  may  not  perform  as 
expected.    We  acquire  and  intend  to  continue  to  acquire  manufactured  home  communities  on  a  select  basis.    Our 
acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks: 

  we may be unable to acquire a desired property because of competition from other well capitalized 
real estate investors, including both publicly traded REITs and institutional investment funds; 

 

 

even  if  we  enter  into  an  acquisition  agreement  for  a  property,  it  is  usually  subject  to  customary 
conditions to closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction, which 
may not be satisfied; 

even if we are able to acquire a desired property, competition from other real estate investors may 
significantly increase the purchase price;  

  we may be unable to finance acquisitions on favorable terms; 

 

 

acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;  

acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with a lack of 
market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, lack of business relationships in the area 
and unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and 

  we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of 

portfolios of properties, into our existing operations. 

If any of the above were to occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. 

In addition, we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited 
recourse,  with respect to unknown  liabilities.  As a result, if a  liability  were to be asserted against  us based  upon 
ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect  our 
cash flow. 

We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid.  Real 
estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly and, therefore, will tend to limit our ability to vary our property 
portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the Code limits our ability to 
sell our properties. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property portfolio could 
adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service our debt and make distributions to our stockholders.

Financing Risks 

We face risks generally associated with our debt.  We finance a portion of our investments in properties and 
marketable securities through debt.  We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk 
 that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest.  In addition, debt creates other 
risks, including: 

 

 

 

 

rising interest rates on our variable rate debt; 

failure to repay or refinance existing debt as it matures, which may result in forced disposition of 
assets on disadvantageous terms; 

refinancing terms less favorable than the terms of existing debt; and 

failure to meet required payments of principal and/or interest. 

We mortgage our properties, which subjects us to the risk of foreclosure in the event of non-payment.   We 
mortgage many of our properties to secure payment of indebtedness.  If we are unable to meet mortgage payments, 
then the property could be foreclosed upon or transferred to the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset 
value.  A  foreclosure  of  one  or  more  of  our  properties  could  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition,  results  of 
operations, cash flow, ability to service debt and make distributions and the market price of our preferred and common 
stock and any other securities we issue. 

We face risks related to “balloon payments” and refinancings.  Certain of our mortgages will have significant 
outstanding  principal  balances  on  their  maturity  dates,  commonly  known  as  “balloon  payments.”  There  can  be  no 
assurance that we will be able to refinance the debt on favorable terms or at all.  To the extent we cannot refinance debt on 
favorable terms or at all, we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms or pay higher interest rates, 
either  of  which  would  have  an  adverse  impact  on  our  financial  performance  and  ability  to  service  debt  and  make 
distributions. 

We face risks associated with our dependence on external sources of capital.  In order to qualify as a REIT, we 
are required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, and we are subject to tax 
on our income to the extent it is not distributed. Because of this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund all 
future capital needs from cash retained from operations. As a result, to fund capital needs, we rely on third-party sources 
of capital, which we may not be able to obtain on favorable terms, if at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital 
depends upon a number of factors, including (i) general market conditions; (ii) the market’s perception of our growth 
potential; (iii) our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions; and (iv) the market price of our preferred 
and common stock.  Additional debt financing may substantially increase our debt-to-total capitalization ratio. Additional 
equity issuance may dilute the holdings of our current stockholders. 

We may become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and an 
increase in debt service requirements which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations 
and our ability to pay distributions. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our 
activities. Our governing documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, our Board 
of Directors may vote to incur additional debt and would do so, for example, if it were necessary to maintain our status 
as  a  REIT.  We  could  therefore  become  more  highly  leveraged,  resulting  in  an  increased  risk  of  default  on  our 
obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and 
results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders. 

Covenants in our credit agreements could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition.  
The terms of our various credit agreements and other indebtedness require us to comply  with a number of customary 
financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance 
coverage. These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in 
defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations. If 
we were to default under our credit agreements, our financial condition would be adversely affected.

We  face  risks  associated  with  the  financing  of  home  sales  to  customers  in  our  manufactured  home 
communities.  To produce new rental revenue and to upgrade our communities, we sell homes to customers in our 
communities at competitive prices and finance these home sales through S&F.  We allow banks and outside finance 
companies the first opportunity to finance these sales.  We are subject to the following risks in financing these homes: 
the borrowers may default on these  loans and not be able to make debt service payments or pay 
principal when due; 

 

 

 

 

 

the default rates may be higher than we anticipate; 

demand for consumer financing may not be as great as we anticipate or may decline; 

the value of property securing the installment notes receivable may be less than the amounts owed; 
and 

interest rates payable on the installment notes receivable may be lower than our cost of funds. 

Additionally, there are many regulations pertaining to our home sales and financing activities.  There are 
significant consumer protection laws and the regulatory framework may change in a manner which may adversely 
affect our operating results.  The regulatory environment and associated consumer finance laws create a risk of greater 
liability  from  our  home  sales  and  financing  activities  and  could  subject  us  to  additional  litigation.    We  are  also 
dependent on licenses granted by state and other regulatory authorities, which may be withdrawn or which may not 
be renewed and which could have an adverse impact on our ability to continue with our home sales and financing 
activities.   

Other Risks 

We may not be able to obtain adequate cash to fund our business.  Our business requires access to adequate 
cash  to  finance  our  operations,  distributions,  capital  expenditures,  debt  service  obligations,  development  and 
redevelopment costs and property acquisition costs, if any. We expect to generate the cash to be used for these purposes 
primarily  with  operating  cash  flow,  borrowings  under  secured  and  unsecured  loans,  proceeds  from  sales  of 
strategically identified assets and, when market conditions permit, through the issuance of debt and equity securities 
from time to time. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to fund our business, particularly if we are unable 
to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire according to our expectations.  

We are dependent on key personnel.  Our executive and other senior officers have a significant role in our 
success.  Our  ability  to  retain  our  management  group  or  to  attract  suitable  replacements  should  any  members  of  the 
management group leave is dependent on the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services from key 
members of the management group or a limitation in their availability could adversely affect our financial condition and 
cash flow.  

We may amend our business policies without stockholder approval.  Our Board of Directors determines our 
growth, investment, financing, capitalization, borrowing, REIT status, operations and distributions policies. Although our 
Board of Directors has no present intention to change or reverse any of these policies, they may be amended or revised 
without notice to stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders may not have control over changes in our policies. We cannot 
assure you that changes in our policies will serve fully the interests of all stockholders. 

The market value of our preferred and common stock could decrease based on our performance and market 
perception  and conditions.    The  market  value  of  our  preferred  and  common  stock  may  be  based primarily  upon  the 
market’s perception of our growth potential and current and future cash dividends, and may be secondarily based upon the 
real estate market value of our underlying assets. The market price of our preferred and common stock is influenced by 
their respective distributions relative to market interest rates. Rising interest rates may lead potential buyers of our stock to 
expect a higher distribution rate, which would adversely affect the market price of our stock. In addition, rising interest 
rates would result in increased expense, thereby adversely affecting cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness 
and pay distributions.

There are restrictions on the transfer of our capital stock. To maintain our qualification as a REIT under the 
Code, no more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, actually or by attribution, by five or 
fewer individuals, as defined in the Code to also include certain entities, during the last half of a taxable year. Accordingly, 
our charter contains provisions restricting the transfer of our capital stock. 

Our earnings are dependent, in part, upon the performance of our investment portfolio.  As permitted by the 
Code, we invest in and own securities of other real estate investment trusts. To the extent that the value of those investments 
declines or those investments do not provide a return, our earnings and cash flow could be adversely affected. 

We are subject to restrictions that may impede our ability to effect a change in control. Certain provisions 
contained in our charter and bylaws and certain provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of discouraging a third 
party from making an acquisition proposal for us and thereby inhibit a change in control. These provisions include the 
following: 

  Our charter provides for three classes of directors with the term of office of one class expiring each 
year,  commonly  referred  to  as  a  “staggered  board.”  By  preventing  common  stockholders  from 
voting on the election of more than one class of directors at any annual meeting of stockholders, this 
provision may have the effect of keeping the current members of our Board of Directors in control 
for a longer period of time than stockholders may desire. 

  Our  charter  generally  limits  any  holder  from  acquiring  more  than  9.8%  (in  value  or  in  number, 
whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding equity stock (defined as all of our classes of capital 
stock, except our excess stock). While this provision is intended to assure our ability to remain a 
qualified REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the ownership limit may also limit the opportunity 
for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of common stock that might otherwise exist 
if an investor was attempting to assemble a block of shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding 
shares of equity stock or otherwise effect a change in control. 

  The request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at such 
meeting is necessary for stockholders to call a special meeting. We also require advance notice by 
common stockholders for the nomination of directors or proposals of business to be considered at a 
meeting of stockholders. 

Our Board of Directors may authorize and issue securities without stockholder approval. Under our charter, 
the Board of Directors has the power without stockholder action (i) to classify and reclassify any of our unissued shares of 
capital  stock  into  shares  of  capital  stock  with  such  terms,  preferences,  conversion  or  other  rights,  voting  powers, 
restrictions, limitations as to dividends and terms and conditions of redemptions as the Board of Directors may determine 
and (ii) to authorize the issuance of any class or series of stock. The authorization and issuance of a new class of capital 
stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of us, even if a change in control were 
in our stockholders’ best interests. 

Maryland business statutes may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.  Maryland law provides 
protection  for  Maryland  corporations  against  unsolicited  takeovers  by  limiting,  among  other  things,  the  duties  of  the 
directors in unsolicited takeover situations. The duties of directors of Maryland corporations do not require them to (a) 
accept, recommend or respond to any proposal by a person seeking to acquire control of the corporation, (b) authorize the 
corporation  to  redeem  any  rights  under,  or  modify  or  render  inapplicable,  any  stockholders  rights  plan,  (c)  make  a 
determination under the Maryland Business Combination Act or the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, (d) elect to 
be subject to, or refrain from electing to be subject to, any or all of the provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL or (e) 
act or fail to act solely because of the effect of the act or failure to act may have on an acquisition or potential acquisition 
of control of the corporation or the amount or type of consideration that may be offered or paid to the stockholders in an 
acquisition. Maryland law also contains a statutory presumption that an act of a director of a Maryland corporation satisfies 
the applicable standards of conduct for directors under Maryland law.

The Maryland Business Combination Act provides that unless exempted, a Maryland corporation may not engage 
in business combinations, including mergers, dispositions of 10% or more of its assets, certain issuances of shares of stock 
and other specified transactions, with an “interested stockholder” or an affiliate of an interested stockholder for five years 
after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, and thereafter unless 
specified criteria are met. An interested stockholder is generally a person owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, 10% 
or more of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the Maryland corporation or an affiliate or associate of the Maryland 
corporation that was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding stock during 
the past two years. In our charter, we have expressly elected that the Maryland Business Combination Act not govern or 
apply to any transaction with our affiliated company, MREIC. 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay distributions regularly.  Our ability to pay distributions in the 
future is dependent on our ability to operate profitably and to generate cash from our operations and the operations of our 
subsidiaries. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay distributions on a regular quarterly basis in the future. 

Future  terrorist  attacks  and  military  conflicts  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  general  economic 
conditions, consumer confidence and market liquidity.   Among other things, it is possible that interest rates may be 
affected by these events.  An increase in interest rates may increase our costs of borrowing, leading to a reduction in our 
earnings.  Terrorist  acts  affecting  our  properties  could  also  result  in  significant  damages  to,  or  loss  of,  our  properties.  
Additionally, we may be unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage on acceptable economic terms for losses resulting 
from acts of terrorism.  Our lenders may require that we carry terrorism insurance even if we do not believe this insurance 
is necessary or cost effective.  Should an act of terrorism result in an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits, 
we could lose capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining 
obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types 
would adversely affect our financial condition.  

We are subject to risks arising from litigation.   We may become involved in litigation. Litigation can be costly, 
and the results of litigation are often difficult to predict. We may not have adequate insurance coverage or contractual 
protection to cover costs and liability in the event we are sued, and to the extent we resort to litigation to enforce our rights, 
we may incur significant costs and ultimately be unsuccessful or unable to recover amounts we believe are owed to us.  
We may have little or no control of the timing of litigation, which presents challenges to our strategic planning. 

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which 
would cause our business and reputation to suffer.  In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive 
data, including our business information and the personal information of our residents and our employees, in our facility 
and on our network. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to 
attacks  by  hackers  or  breached  due  to  employee  error,  malfeasance  or  other  disruptions.  Any  such  breach  could 
compromise our network and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such 
access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, disrupt our operations, damage 
our reputation, and cause a loss of confidence, which could adversely affect our business.  

If our leases are not respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a 
REIT.    To  qualify  as  a  REIT,  we  must,  among  other  things,  satisfy  two  gross  income  tests,  under  which  specified 
percentages of our gross income must be passive income, such as rent. For the rent paid pursuant to our leases, to qualify 
for purposes of the gross income tests, the leases must be respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes and not 
be  treated  as  service  contracts,  joint  ventures  or  some  other  type  of  arrangement.  We  believe  that  our  leases  will  be 
respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes. However, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue 
Service (“IRS”) will agree with this view. If the leases are not respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes, we 
would not be able to satisfy either of the two gross income tests applicable to REITs, and we could lose our REIT status. 

Failure to make required distributions would subject us to additional tax.  In order to qualify as a REIT, we 
must, among other requirements, distribute, each year, to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income, excluding 
net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable 
income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed income. 

-13- 

- 13 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In addition, we will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which our distributions (or deemed 
distributions) in any year are less than the sum of: 

 

 

 

85% of our ordinary income for that year; 

95% of our capital gain net earnings for that year; and 

100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. 

To the extent we pay out in excess of 100% of our taxable income for any tax year, we may be able to carry 
forward such excess to subsequent years to reduce our required distributions for purposes of the 4% nondeductible 
excise tax in such subsequent years. We intend to pay out our income to our stockholders in a manner intended to 
satisfy the 90% distribution requirement. Differences in timing between the recognition of income and the related cash 
receipts or the effect of required debt amortization payments could require us to borrow money or sell assets to pay 
out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax. 

We  may  not  have  sufficient  cash  available  from  operations  to  pay  distributions  to  our  stockholders,  and, 
therefore, distributions may be made from borrowings.  The actual amount and timing of distributions to our stockholders 
will be determined by our Board of Directors in its discretion and typically will depend on the amount of cash available 
for distribution, which will depend on items such as current and projected cash requirements, limitations on distributions 
imposed  by  law  on  our  financing  arrangements  and  tax  considerations.  As  a  result,  we  may  not  have  sufficient  cash 
available from operations to pay distributions as required to maintain our status as a REIT. Therefore, we may need to 
borrow funds to make sufficient cash distributions in order to maintain our status as a REIT, which may cause us to incur 
additional interest expense as a result of an increase in borrowed funds for the purpose of paying distributions. 

We  may  be  required  to  pay  a  penalty  tax  upon  the  sale  of  a  property.  The  federal  income  tax  provisions 
applicable to REITs provide that any gain realized by a REIT on the sale of property held as inventory or other property 
held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is treated as income from a “prohibited transaction” 
that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. Under current law, unless a sale of real property qualifies for a safe harbor, the 
question of  whether  the  sale  of  real estate or  other  property  constitutes  the  sale of property  held primarily  for  sale  to 
customers is generally a question of the facts and circumstances regarding a particular transaction. We intend that we and 
our subsidiaries will hold the interests in the real estate for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, engage in the 
business of acquiring and owning real estate, and make occasional sales as are consistent with our investment objectives. 
We do not intend to engage in prohibited transactions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will only make sales that 
satisfy the requirements of the safe harbors or that the IRS will not successfully assert that one or more of such sales are 
prohibited transactions. 

We may be adversely affected if we fail to qualify as a REIT.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be 
allowed to deduct distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and will be subject to Federal income tax, 
including  any  applicable  alternative  minimum  tax,  at  regular  corporate  rates.    In  addition,  we  might  be  barred  from 
qualification as a REIT for the four years following disqualification.  The additional tax incurred at regular corporate rates 
would reduce significantly the cash flow available for distribution to stockholders and for debt service.  Furthermore, we 
would no longer be required to make any distributions to our stockholders as a condition to REIT qualification.  Any 
distributions  to  noncorporate  stockholders  would  be  taxable  as  ordinary  income  to  the  extent  of  our  current  and 
accumulated earnings and profits, although such dividend distributions generally would be subject to a top federal tax rate 
of 15% through 2014.  Corporate distributees would in that case generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction 
on the distributions, subject to limitations under the Code. 

If we were considered to actually or constructively pay a “preferential dividend” to certain of our stockholders, 
our status as a REIT could be adversely affected.  In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually to our 
stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with 
U.S. GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. In order for 
distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT 
level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the 
distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and in accordance with the 

-14- 

- 14 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents. Currently, there is uncertainty 
as to the application of the law in certain circumstances and the IRS’s position regarding whether certain arrangements 
that REITs have with their stockholders could give rise to the inadvertent payment of a preferential dividend (e.g., the 
pricing methodology for stock purchased under a distribution reinvestment plan inadvertently causing a greater than 5% 
discount on the price of such stock purchased). There is no de minimis exception with respect to preferential dividends; 
therefore, if the IRS were to take the position that we inadvertently paid a preferential dividend, we may be deemed to 
have failed the 90% distribution test, and our status as a REIT could be terminated for the year in which such determination 
is made if we were unable to cure such failure. While we believe that our operations have been structured in such a manner 
that we will not be treated as inadvertently paying preferential dividends, we can provide no assurance to this effect. 

To qualify as a REIT, we must comply with certain highly technical and complex requirements.  We cannot 
be certain we have complied, and will always be able to comply, with the requirements to qualify as a REIT because there 
are few judicial and administrative interpretations of these provisions.  In addition, facts and circumstances that may be 
beyond our control may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT.  We cannot assure you that new legislation, 
regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws significantly with respect to our 
qualification as a REIT or with respect to the Federal income tax consequences of qualification.  We believe that we have 
qualified as a REIT since our inception and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT. However, we cannot assure you that 
we are qualified or will remain qualified. 

There is a risk of changes in the tax law applicable to real estate investment trusts.  Because the IRS, the United 
States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, 
when or to what extent new federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted.  Any of such legislative 
action may prospectively or retroactively modify our tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us 
and/or our investors. 

We may be unable to comply with the strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs.  To maintain 
qualification as a REIT under the Code, a REIT must annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable 
income, excluding the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains.  This requirement limits our ability to accumulate 
capital.  We may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the distribution requirements.  Difficulties in meeting 
the distribution requirements might arise due to competing demands for our funds or to timing differences between tax 
reporting and cash receipts and disbursements, because income may have to be reported before cash is received, because 
expenses may have to be paid before a deduction is allowed, because deductions may be disallowed or limited or because 
the IRS may make a determination that adjusts reported income.  In those situations, we might be required to borrow funds 
or sell properties on adverse terms in order to meet the distribution requirements and interest and penalties could apply 
which could adversely affect our financial condition.  If we fail to make a required distribution, we could cease to be taxed 
as a REIT. 

Notwithstanding our status as a REIT, we are subject to various federal, state and local taxes on our income 
and property.  For example, we will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed taxable income, including 
undistributed net capital gains; provided, however, that properly designated undistributed capital gains will effectively 
avoid taxation at the stockholder level. We may be subject to other Federal income taxes and may also have to pay some 
state income or franchise taxes because not all states treat REITs in the same manner as they are treated for Federal income 
tax purposes.

UMH Properties, Inc. is engaged in the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities located 
in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana and Michigan.  As of December 31,  2014, the 
Company owns eighty-eight manufactured home communities containing approximately 15,000 developed sites.  The 
following is a brief description of the properties owned by the Company.  There is a long-term trend toward larger 
manufactured homes.  Manufactured home communities designed for older manufactured homes must be modified to 
accommodate modern, wider and longer manufactured homes.  These changes may decrease the number of homes 
that may be accommodated in a manufactured home community.  The rents collectible from the land ultimately depend 
on the value of the home and land.  Therefore, fewer but more expensive homes can actually produce the same or 
greater rents.  For this reason, the number of developed sites operated by the Company is subject to change, and the 
number of developed sites listed is always an approximate number.

(1) Does not include vacant sites at Memphis Mobile City. 
(2) Weighted average monthly rent per site. 

Exclusive of the vacant sites at Memphis Mobile City, the Company’s occupancy rate has  increased from 

81.5% at December 31, 2013 to 82.3% at December 31, 2014.   

In connection with the operation of its communities, the Company operates approximately 2,600 rental units.  
These are homes owned by the Company and rented to residents.  The Company engages in the rental of manufactured 
homes primarily in areas where the communities have existing vacancies.  The rental homes produce income on both 
the home and the site which might otherwise be non-income producing.  The Company sells the rental homes when 
the opportunity arises. 

The Company has approximately 880 additional sites in various stages of engineering/construction.  Due to 
the difficulties involved in the approval and construction process, it is difficult to predict the number of sites which 
will be completed in a given year.

On March 2, 2012, the Company transferred the listing of its common and preferred stock  from the NYSE 
Amex  to  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  (NYSE).    The  Company  has  retained  its  stock  symbols  (UMH)  for  the 
common shares and (UMH-PA) for the preferred shares.  

On March 2, 2015, the closing price of the Company’s stock was $9.58. 

As of March 2, 2015, there were approximately 1,028 registered shareholders of the Company’s common 

stock based on the number of record owners. 

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, total distributions paid by the Company for common stock 
amounted to $16,285,828 or $0.72 per share ($0.01114 taxed as ordinary income, $0.00265 taxed as capital gains and 
$0.70621 as a return of capital) and $13,563,471 or $0.72 per share ($0.12844 taxed as ordinary income, $0.05835 
taxed as capital gains and $0.53321 as a return of capital), respectively. 

It is the Company’s intention to continue making comparable quarterly distributions.  On January 21, 2015, 
the  Board  of  Directors  declared  a  cash  dividend  of  $0.18  per  share  to  be  paid  on  March  16,  2015  to  common 
shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 17, 2015.  Future dividend policy will depend on the 
Company’s  earnings,  capital  requirements,  REIT  requirements,  financial  condition,  availability  and  cost  of  bank 
financing and other factors considered relevant by the Board of Directors.  

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding 3,663,800 shares of 8.25% Series A Cumulative 
Redeemable  Preferred  Stock,  par  value  $0.10  per  share,  with  an  aggregate  liquidation  preference  of  $91,595,000 
(Series A Preferred Stock).  The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up, senior to our common stock and equal to any equity securities that we may issue in the 
future, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank equal to the Series A Preferred Stock.  
We are required to pay cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of $2.0625 per share each 
year, which is equivalent to 8.25% of the $25.00 liquidation value per share.  The Series A Preferred Stock is traded 
on the NYSE. 

The Series A Preferred Stock, par value $25.00, has no maturity and will remain outstanding indefinitely 
unless redeemed or otherwise repurchased.  The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to May  26, 2016, 
except pursuant to provisions relating to preservation of the Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust 
(REIT) or upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or a Change of Control.  On and after May 26, 2016, the Series A 
Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the Company’s option for cash, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at a price 
per share equal to $25.00, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared), if any, to, but not including, 
the redemption date, on each share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, total distributions paid by the Company for preferred stock, amounted 
to $7,556,588 or $2.0625 per share ($1.66551 taxed as ordinary income and $0.39699 taxed as capital gains).  For the 
year ended December 31, 2013, total distributions paid by the Company for preferred stock, before accrued dividends, 
amounted to $7,556,588 or $2.0625 per share ($1.418164 taxed as ordinary income and $0.644336 taxed as capital 
gains).   

On January 21, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.515625 per share for the 
period from December 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015, on the Company's 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable 
Preferred Stock payable March 16, 2015 to preferred shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 
17, 2015.  Series A preferred share dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly at an annual rate of $2.0625 per 
share. 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities 

On  January  21,  2015,  the  Board  of  Directors  reaffirmed  its  Share  Repurchase  Program  (the  repurchase 
program) that authorizes the Company to purchase up to $10,000,000 in the aggregate of the Company's common 
stock.  The  repurchase  program  was  originally  created  in  June  2008  and  is  intended  to  be  implemented  through 
purchases made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately 
negotiated transactions or block trades, or by any combination of such methods, in accordance with applicable insider 
trading  and  other  securities  laws  and  regulations.  The  size,  scope  and  timing  of  any  purchases  will  be  based  on 
business,  market  and  other  conditions  and  factors,  including  price,  regulatory  and  contractual  requirements  or 
consents, and capital availability. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any particular 
amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the Company's 
discretion without prior notice.  There have been no purchases under the repurchase program to date. 

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans 

On June 13, 2013, the shareholders approved and ratified the Company's 2013 Stock Option and Stock Award 
Plan (the 2013 Plan) authorizing the grant to officers and key employees of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares 
of common stock.  The 2013 Plan replaced the Company's 2003 Stock Option and Award Plan, as amended, which, 
pursuant to its terms, terminated in 2013.  The outstanding options under the 2003 Stock Option and Award Plan, as 
amended,  remain  outstanding  until  exercised,  forfeited  or  expired.    See  Note  6  in  the  Notes  to  the  Consolidated 
Financial Statements for a description of the plans.

(1) We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds 
From Operations (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 States 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, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation 
and amortization.  NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance.  We 
define Core Funds From Operations (Core FFO) as FFO plus acquisitions costs and Loss Relating to Flood.  FFO and Core 
FFO should be considered as a supplemental measure of operating performance used by REITs.  FFO and Core FFO excludes 
historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost basis.  The 
items excluded from FFO and Core FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance. 

FFO and Core FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be 
considered  as  an  alternative  to  Net  Income  as  a  measure  of  operating  performance  or  to  Cash  Flows  from  Operating, 
Investing and Financing Activities; and (iii) are not an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.  FFO and Core 
FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs.   

The Company’s FFO and Core FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders are calculated as follows:

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 notes thereto elsewhere herein. 

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  a  month-to-month  or  annual  basis  to  private 
manufactured home owners.  The Company also leases homes to residents and, through its taxable REIT subsidiary, 
UMH  Sales  and  Finance,  Inc.  (S&F),  sells  and  finances  homes  to  residents  and  prospective  residents  of  our 
communities. 

-29- 

- 29 - 
 
 
 
 
 
Our  communities  are  located  in  New  Jersey,  New  York,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Tennessee,  Indiana  and 
Michigan.  UMH has continued to execute our growth strategy of purchasing well-located communities in our target 
markets, including the energy-rich Marcellus and Utica shale regions.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, we 
have purchased fourteen manufactured home communities with ten located in Ohio and four located in Pennsylvania, 
for an aggregate purchase price of $42,550,000. These acquisitions added approximately 1,600 developed sites to our 
portfolio,  bringing  our  total  to  eighty-eight  communities  containing  approximately  15,000  developed  sites.    On 
January 21, 2015, we acquired an additional community located in Pennsylvania for approximately $3,800,000. With 
this  purchase,  we  now  own  eighty-nine  manufactured  home  communities  consisting  of  approximately  15,200 
developed sites. 

The  Company’s  income  primarily  consists  of  rental  and  related  income  from  the  operation  of  its 
manufactured home communities.   Income also includes sales of  manufactured homes.   In 2014, total income has 
increased 15% from the prior year and income from community operations has increased 24% from the prior year, 
primarily due to the acquisitions in 2013 and 2014.  Occupancy has increased from 81.5% at December 31, 2013 to 
82.3% at December 31, 2014.  Same site occupancy has increased from 81.5% at December 31, 2013 to 83.2% at 
December 31, 2014.  Sales of manufactured homes continue to be disappointing  and have not yet returned to pre-
recession levels.  Many of our customers still face difficulties in selling their existing homes.  Despite historically low 
interest rates, tight underwriting standards have kept a number of potential buyers out of the site-built market.  This, 
coupled with limited wage growth, has consumers gravitating toward renting versus owning.  During 2014, we have 
added a net of approximately 800 rental units to selected communities as well as acquired approximately 100 rental 
units with fiscal 2014 community acquisitions.  Rental home occupancy is at 91.5%.  Occupied rental units represent 
approximately 19.6% of total occupied sites.  We intend to convert renters to new homeowners in the future.  

Revenues also include interest and dividend income and net gain on securities transactions.  The Company 
holds a portfolio of securities of other REITs with a fair value of $63,555,961 at December 31, 2014.  The Company 
generally  limits  its  marketable  securities  investments  to  no  more  than  approximately  15%  of  its  undepreciated 
assets.   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  invests  in  these 
securities on margin from time to time when the Company can achieve an adequate yield spread.  As of December 31, 
2014, the Company has borrowings of $19,392,382 under its margin line at 2.0% interest.  As of December 31, 2014, 
the Company’s portfolio consisted of 30% REIT preferred stocks and 70% REIT common stocks.  The Company’s 
weighted-average yield on the securities portfolio was approximately  6.1% at December 31, 2014.  The Company 
realized a net gain of $1,542,589 on sale of securities transactions in 2014 as compared to a net gain of $4,055,812 
during  2013.    At  December  31,  2014,  the  Company  had  unrealized  gains  of  $5,079,921  in  its  REIT  securities 
portfolio.  The dividends received from our securities investments continue to meet our expectations.  It is our intent 
to hold these securities for investment on a long-term basis. 

The Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet.  During 2014, the Company raised approximately 
$33 million in new capital through its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.  This capital was used to 
purchase communities, purchase rental homes and pay down certain loans and  mortgages.  The  weighted average 
interest rate on our mortgage debt was 4.8% at December 31, 2014 compared to 4.5% at December 31, 2013. 

At December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $8.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $15 
million  potentially  available  on  our  credit  facility  pursuant  to  an  accordion  feature.    We  also  had  $10.2  million 
available on our revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and the purchase of inventory, and the ability 
to  finance  approximately  500  rental  units.    In  addition,  we  held  $63.6  million  in  marketable  REIT  securities 
encumbered by $19.4 million in margin loans. In general, the Company may borrow up to 50% of the value of the 
marketable securities. 

The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments.  In 2013 and 2014, we have added 
a total of thirty-one manufactured home communities to our portfolio, encompassing approximately 4,300 developed 
sites.  We have also entered into definitive agreements to purchase three manufactured home communities, including 
the community which was purchased in January 2015, with a total of approximately 465 developed home sites located 
in Pennsylvania for a purchase price of approximately $9.1 million.  We have been positioning ourselves for future 
growth and will continue to seek opportunistic investments in 2015.  The growth of our real estate portfolio depends 
on the availability of suitable properties which meet the Company’s investment criteria and appropriate financing.

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 Company believes that funds generated from operations, funds generated from the dividend reinvestment 
and stock purchase plan (DRIP), and the funds available on the credit facility and the lines of credit, together with the 
ability to finance and refinance its properties will provide sufficient funds to adequately meet its obligations over the 
next several years. 

See PART I, Item 1- Business and Item 1A – Risk Factors for a more complete discussion of the economic 
and  industry-wide  factors  relevant  to  the  Company,  the  Company's  lines  of  business  and  principal  products  and 
services, and the opportunities, challenges and risks on which the Company is focused. 

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.    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.  

Significant accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgment and potentially could 
result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Management believes the following 
critical accounting policies are affected by our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of 
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  For a detailed description of these and other accounting policies, 
see Note 2 in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.   

Real Estate Investments 

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-
10, Property, Plant & Equipment (ASC 360-10) to measure impairment in real estate investments. Rental properties 
are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of 
expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying 
value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating 
income,  trends  and  prospects  as  well  as  the  effects  of  leasing  demand,  competition  and  other  factors.  Upon 
determination  that  a  permanent  impairment  has  occurred,  rental  properties  are  reduced  to  their  fair  value.   For 
properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated 
cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the 
property  and/or  it  is  actively  being  marketed  for  sale.  A property  to  be  disposed  of  is  reported  at  the  lower  of  its 
carrying  amount  or  its  estimated  fair  value,  less  its  cost  to  sell.  Subsequent  to  the  date  that  a  property  is  held  for 
disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded. 

Upon  acquisition  of  a  property,  the  Company  applies  ASC  805,  Business  Combinations  (ASC  805)  and 
allocates the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist 
of  land,  site  and  land  improvements,  buildings  and  improvements  and  rental  homes.    The  Company  allocates  the 
purchase price of an acquired property generally determined by internal evaluation as well as third-party appraisal of 
the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.  Transaction costs, such as broker fees, transfer taxes, legal, 
accounting, valuation, and other professional and consulting fees, related to acquisitions are expensed as incurred. 

The  Company conducted a comprehensive  review of all real estate asset classes in accordance with ASC 
360-10-35-21,  which  indicates  that  asset  values  should  be analyzed  whenever  events  or changes  in  circumstances 
indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. The process entails the analysis of property 
for instances where the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35-17, an 
impairment loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair 

-31- 

- 31 - 
 
 
 
 
 
     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
value. The Company utilizes the experience and knowledge of its internal valuation team to derive certain assumptions 
used  to  determine  an  operating  property’s  cash  flow.  Such  assumptions  include  lease-up  rates,  rental  rates,  rental 
growth rates, and capital expenditures.  The Company reviewed its operating properties in light of the requirements 
of ASC 360-10 and determined that, as of December 31, 2014, the undiscounted cash flows over the holding period 
for these properties were in excess of their carrying values and, therefore, no impairment charges were required. 

 Securities Available for Sale 

Investments  in  non-real  estate  assets  consist  primarily  of  marketable  securities.    The  Company  individually 
reviews and evaluates our marketable securities for impairment on a quarterly basis or when events or circumstances that 
may indicate possible impairment occur.  The Company considers, among other things, credit aspects of the issuer, amount 
of decline in fair value over cost and length of time in a continuous loss position.  The Company has developed a general 
policy of evaluating whether an unrealized loss is other than temporary.  On a quarterly basis, the Company makes an 
initial review of every individual security in its portfolio.  If the security is impaired, the Company first determines our 
intent and ability to hold this investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market 
value.  Next, the Company determines the length of time and the extent of the impairment.  Barring other factors, including 
the downgrading of the security or the cessation of dividends, if the fair value of the security is below cost by less than 
20% for less than 6 months and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is deemed to not 
be other than temporarily impaired.  Otherwise, the Company reviews additional information to determine whether the 
impairment is other than temporary.  The Company discusses and analyzes any relevant information known about the 
security, such as:   

a.  Whether the decline is attributable to adverse conditions related to the security or to specific conditions in 

an industry or in a geographic area. 

b.  Any downgrading of the security by a rating agency. 
c.  Whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated. 
d.  Status of dividends – Whether dividends have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments 

have not been made. 

e.  Analysis  of  the  underlying  assets  (including  NAV  analysis)  using  independent  analysis  or  recent 

transactions. 

The Company generally holds REIT securities long-term and has the ability and intent to hold securities to 
recovery.  If a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary,  an impairment charge is recognized in 
earnings and the cost basis of the individual security is written down to fair value as the  new cost basis.   

The Company’s securities consist primarily of common and preferred stock of other REITs.  These securities 
are  all  publicly-traded  and  purchased  on  the  open  market,  through  private  transactions  or  through  dividend 
reinvestment plans.  These securities are classified among three categories:  Held-to-maturity, trading and available-
for-sale.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s securities are all classified as available-for-sale and are 
carried at fair value based upon quoted market prices.  Gains or losses on the sale of securities are based on identifiable 
cost and are accounted for on a trade date basis.  Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and 
reported as a separate component of Shareholders’ Equity until realized.  The change in net unrealized holding gains 
and losses are reflected as comprehensive income. 

Other 

Estimates  are  used  when  accounting  for  the  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  for  our  rents  and  loans 
receivable, potentially excess and obsolete inventory and contingent liabilities, among others.  These estimates are 
susceptible to change and actual results could differ from these estimates.  The effects of changes in these estimates 
are recognized in the period they are determined.

2014 vs. 2013 

Rental and related income increased from $53,477,893 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $63,886,010 
for the year ended December 31, 2014, or 19%.  This increase was due to the acquisitions during 2013 and 2014, and 
an increase in rental rates, occupancy and rental homes.   

The  Company has been raising rental rates by  approximately 2% to 6% annually at certain communities.  
Other communities received no increases.  Occupancy, as well as the ability to increase rental rates, directly affects 
revenues.  Exclusive of the vacant sites at Memphis Mobile City, the Company’s occupancy rate has increased from 
81.5% at December 31, 2013 to 82.3% at December 31, 2014.  Same store occupancy has increased from 81.5% at 
December 31, 2013 to 83.2% at December 31, 2014.  Some of the Company’s vacant sites resulted from expansions

completed before the downturn in the economy.  The Company continues to evaluate further expansion at selected 
communities in order to increase the number of available sites, obtain efficiencies and generate increased revenues.  
In the current environment, the demand for rental homes is high.  As of December 31, 2014,  we had approximately 
2,600 rental homes with an occupancy of 91.5%.  We continue to evaluate the demand for rental homes and will invest 
in additional homes as demand dictates. 

Sales  of  manufactured  homes  decreased  from  $8,727,214  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013  to 
$7,545,923 for the year ended December 31, 2014, or 14%.  The number of homes sold decreased from 164 homes in 
2013 to 134 homes in 2014.  There were 69 new homes sold in 2014 as compared to 96 in 2013.  Cost of sales of 
manufactured homes decreased from $7,204,410 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $5,832,540 for the year 
ended December 31, 2014, or 19%.  Selling expenses increased from $1,985,834 for the year ended December 31, 
2013 to $2,983,376 for the year ended December 31, 2014, or 50%.  Loss from the sales operations (defined as sales 
of manufactured homes less cost of sales of manufactured homes less selling expenses less interest on the financing 
of  inventory)  increased  from  $640,019  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013  to  $1,881,936  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2014.  The losses on sales include selling expenses of approximately $3.0 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2014.  Many of these costs, such as rent, salaries, and to an extent, advertising and promotion, are fixed.  
Selling expenses in 2014 also include additional costs associated with the opening of sales lots.  Adverse conditions 
have continued to slow the manufactured housing industry and the broader housing market in the U.S.  The inability 
of our customers to sell their current homes, limited wage growth new licensing laws, including the Secure and Fair 
Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act) and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 
Protection, have all negatively impacted our sales.  However, the Company is optimistic about future sales and rental 
prospects given the fundamental need for housing.  The Company believes that sales of new homes produces new 
rental revenue and is an investment in the upgrading of our communities. 

Community  operating  expenses  increased  from  $29,140,920  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013  to 
$33,592,327 for the year ended December 31, 2014, or 15%.  This increase was due to the acquisitions during 2013 
and 2014.  Additionally, the Company incurred additional non-recurring expenses relating to deferred maintenance at 
a number of our acquisitions.  

General and administrative expenses  remained relatively stable for the year ended December 31, 2014 as 

compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.   

Acquisition  costs,  relating  to  the  transaction,  due  diligence  and  other  related  costs  associated  with  the 
acquisitions of communities, decreased from $1,455,542 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $483,522 for the 
year  ended  December  31,  2014,  or  67%.    This  decrease  was  due  to  the  decrease  in  acquisitions  in  2014  with  an 
aggregate purchase price of $42,550,000 as compared to 2013 with an aggregate purchase price of $88,270,000. 

Depreciation expense increased from $11,681,724 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $15,163,420 for 
the year ended December 31,  2014, or 30%.  This increase  was primarily due to the acquisitions during 2013 and 
2014. 

Interest income remained relatively stable for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year 

ended December 31, 2013.   

Dividend income increased from $3,481,514 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $4,065,986 for the 
year  ended  December  31,  2014,  or  17%.    This  increase  is  due  to  the  increase  in  the  balance  of  securities  from 
$59,254,942 at December 31, 2013 to $63,555,961 at December 31, 2014.  The Company’s weighted-average yield 
on the securities portfolio was approximately 6.1% and 7.0% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The  Company  had  an  accumulated  net  unrealized  gain  on  its  securities  portfolio  of  $5,079,921  as  of 

December 31, 2014.   

Other income increased from $211,051 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $328,888 for the year ended 
December 31, 2014, or 56%.  This increase was primarily due to new contracts with cable companies at a number of 
communities where we received upfront fees from $75 to $125 for each occupied home site.  The Company is also 
eligible to receive additional amounts based on the number of new customers generated by the cable company at the 
community. 

Interest expense increased from $7,849,835 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $10,194,472 for the 
year ended December 31, 2014, or 30%.  This increase is primarily due to the new mortgage loans for the community 
acquisitions in  2014.  The average balance of  mortgages payable  was approximately  $172 million during 2014 as 
compared to approximately $135 million during 2013.  The weighted-average interest rate on these mortgages was 
4.8% at December 31, 2014 as compared to 4.5% at December 31, 2013. 

Amortization of financing costs increased from $462,362 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $522,250 
for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014,  or  13%.    This  increase  is  primarily  due  to  the  assumption  of  mortgages 
associated with the acquisitions completed in 2013 and 2014. 

Income  from  Community  Operations  (defined  as  Rental  and  Related  Income  less  Community  Operating 
Expenses)  increased  from  $24,336,973  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013  to  $30,293,683  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2014, or 24%.  This increase was due to the acquisitions during 2013 and 2014, and an increase in rental 
rates, occupancy and rental homes.     

2013 vs. 2012 

Rental and related income increased from $38,012,231 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $53,477,893 

for the year ended December 31, 2013, or 41%.  This increase was due to the acquisitions during 2012 and 2013.   

The  Company has been raising rental rates by approximately 2% to 6% annually at certain communities.  
Other communities received no increases.  Occupancy, as well as the ability to increase rental rates, directly affects 
revenues.  Exclusive of the vacant sites at Memphis Mobile City, the Company’s occupancy rate has increased from 
80%  at  December  31,  2012  to  81%  at  December  31,  2013.    Some  of  the  Company’s  vacant  sites  resulted  from 
expansions completed before the downturn in the economy.  The Company continues to evaluate further expansion at 
selected communities in order to increase the  number of available sites, obtain efficiencies and generate increased 
revenues.     

Sales  of  manufactured  homes  decreased  from  $8,815,533  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  to 
$8,727,214 for the year ended December 31, 2013, or 1%.  The number of homes sold decreased from 210 homes in 
2012 to 164 homes in 2013.  There were 96 new homes sold in 2013 as compared to 98 in 2012.  Cost of sales of 
manufactured homes decreased from $7,903,678 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $7,204,410 for the year 
ended December 31, 2013, or 9%.  Selling expenses decreased from $2,152,701 for the year ended December 31,

31, 2013.  Many of these costs, such as rent, salaries, and to an extent, advertising and promotion, are fixed.  Adverse 
conditions  have  continued  to  slow  the  manufactured  housing  industry  and  the  broader  housing  market  in  the 
U.S.  Persistent high unemployment rates, the inability of our customers to sell their current homes and the decline in 
consumer confidence  have all negatively impacted our sales and our gross profit percentage. New licensing  laws, 
including the  Secure and Fair Enforcement  for Mortgage  Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act), have also increased 
costs.  However, the Company is optimistic about future sales and rental prospects given the fundamental need for 
housing.  We have adjusted our inventory accordingly.  The Company believes that sales of new homes produces new 
rental revenue and is an investment in the upgrading of our communities. 

Community  operating  expenses  increased  from  $20,564,286  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  to

General and administrative expenses increased from $5,374,516 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to 
$6,541,224 for the year ended December 31, 2013, or 22%.  This was primarily due to an increase in personnel and 
personnel costs and directors fees.  Over the past four years, the Company has doubled in size, based on total number 
of  home  sites.    Additionally,  compensation  costs  of  $150,000  relating  to  pension  costs  and  a  one-time  charge  of 
$142,000 for a stock option grant of 100,000 shares to one participant who is of retirement age was recognized at time 
of approval and therefore the entire amount of measured compensation cost has been recognized.  In addition, the 
Company granted an additional 292,000 of stock options to employees during 2013. 

Acquisition  costs,  relating  to  the  transaction,  due  diligence  and  other  related  costs  associated  with  the 
acquisitions of communities increased from $862,169 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $1,455,542 for the 
year  ended  December  31,  2013,  or  69%.    This  increase  was  due  to  the  increase  in  acquisitions  in  2013  with  an

acquisitions in 2013.  The average balance of  mortgages payable  was approximately $135 million during 2013 as 
compared to approximately $100 million during 2012.  The Company has reduced its weighted average interest rate

commercial  term loan  with an  interest rate  of 4.625% at December 31, 2014,  and $10,000,000  outstanding  on  the 
Company’s revolving line of credit secured by eligible notes receivables with an interest rate of prime plus 50 basis 
points (interest rate of 3.75% as of December 31, 2014). 

Operating lease obligations represent a lease, with a related party, for the Company’s corporate offices.  On 
May 1, 2010, the Company renewed this lease for an additional five-year term with monthly lease payments of $13,600 
through April 30, 2013 and $14,000 through April 30, 2015.  The Company is also responsible for its proportionate 
share of real estate taxes and common area maintenance.  Approximately 70% of the monthly lease payment plus its 
proportionate  share  of  real  estate  taxes  and  common  area  maintenance  was  reimbursed  by  MREIC  through  2014.  
Effective  January  2015,  MREIC  obtained  a  separate  lease  and  the  Company  will  be  responsible  for  100%  of  the 
operating lease agreement.

Purchase of Properties represents the total purchase price of four communities under contract in Pennsylvania 
totaling  623  developed  home  sites.    One  acquisition  of  141  home  sites,  with  a  purchase  price  of  $3,800,000  was 
completed in January 2015.  The remaining acquisitions are expected to close in the second quarter of 2015. 

Retirement benefits represent  the total future amount to be paid, on an undiscounted basis, relating to  an 
executive officer.  These benefits are based upon specific employment agreements.  The agreements do not require 
the Company to separately fund the obligation and therefore will be paid from the general assets of the Company.  The 
Company has accrued these benefits on a present value basis over the terms of the agreements (See Note 8 of the 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).   

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

The Company operates as a real estate investment trust deriving its income primarily from real estate rental 
operations.  The Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, 
distribution requirements, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service, 
purchases of  manufactured home inventory, investment in debt and equity securities of other REITs,  financing of 
manufactured  home  sales  and  payments  of  expenses  relating  to  real  estate  operations.    The  Company’s  ability  to 
generate cash adequate to meet these demands is dependent primarily on income from its real estate investments and 
securities portfolio, the sale of real estate investments and securities, refinancing of mortgage debt, leveraging of real 
estate investments, availability of bank borrowings, proceeds from the  Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase 
Plan (DRIP), and access to the capital markets.   

The  Company  has  a  DRIP,  in  which  participants  can  purchase  stock  from  the  Company  at  a  price  of 
approximately 95% of market.  During 2014, amounts received, including dividends reinvested of $1,858,491, totaled 
$32,792,239.  During 2014, the Company distributed to our common shareholders a total of $16,285,828, including 
dividends reinvested. It is anticipated, although no assurances can be given, that the level of participation in the DRIP 
in 2015 will be comparable to 2014.  In addition, the Company also paid $7,556,588 in preferred dividends. 

The  Company  intends  to  operate  its  existing  properties  from  the  cash  flows  generated  by  the  properties.  
However,  the  Company’s  expenses  are  affected  by  various  factors,  including  inflation.    Increases  in  operating 
expenses raise the breakeven point for a property and, to the extent that they cannot be passed on through higher rents, 
reduce the amount of available cash flow which can adversely affect the market value of the property. 

The Company has the ability to finance home  sales, inventory purchases and rental home purchases.  On 
October  6,  2014,  the  Company  entered  into  an  agreement  with  21st  Mortgage  Corporation  (21st  Mortgage)  under 
which 21st Mortgage will finance the Company’s purchase of a maximum of 500 rental units.  The Company also has 
a $10,000,000 revolving line of credit for the financing of homes, all of which was utilized at December 31, 2014, and 
revolving credit facilities totaling $18,500,000 to finance inventory purchases, of which $8,323,300 was utilized at 
December 31, 2014. 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $8,082,792 of cash and cash equivalents and securities available 
for sale  of $63,555,961  encumbered by  $19,392,382 in  margin loans  and $15  million potentially available on our 
unsecured credit facility pursuant to an accordion feature.  At December 31, 2014, the Company owns eighty-eight 
communities of which twenty-eight are unencumbered. The Company is in the process of financing/refinancing 10 
communities  for  a  total  of  approximately  $55,000,000.    Subsequent  to  year-end,  the  Company  completed  the 
financing/refinancing  of  2  communities  (See  Note  15).    The  Company’s  marketable  securities,  non-mortgaged 
properties, and lines of credit provide  us  with additional liquidity.   The  Company  has  been raising  equity  capital 
through  its  DRIP  and  through  the  issuance  of  preferred  stock.    The  Company  believes  that  funds  generated  from 
operations, the DRIP and capital market, the funds available on the lines of credit, together with the ability to finance 
and refinance its properties will provide sufficient funds to adequately meet its obligations over the next several years. 

The Company’s focus is on real estate investments. The Company has historically financed purchases of real 
estate  primarily  through  mortgages.    During  2014,  total  investment  property  increased  23%  or  $82,340,047.   The 
Company made acquisitions of  fourteen manufactured home communities totaling  approximately 1,612 developed 
sites  at  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $42,550,000.    These  acquisitions  were  funded  through  the  assumption  of 
$26,670,449 of mortgages and the use of our unsecured credit facility.  The Company plans to continue to acquire 

-38- 

- 38 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
additional properties.  The funds for these acquisitions may come from bank borrowings, proceeds from the DRIP, 
and private placements or public offerings of common or preferred stock.   To the extent that funds or appropriate 
properties are not available, fewer acquisitions will be made.   

The Company also invests in rental homes and owns approximately 2,600 rental homes as of December 31, 
2014.    During  2014, rental  homes increased by  $29,916,900.   The Company added approximately  800 net rental 
homes to selected communities to fill demand, including approximately  100 acquired with fiscal 2014 community 
acquisitions.  The Company actively markets these rental homes for sale to existing residents.  The Company estimates 
that  in  2015  it  will  purchase  approximately  500  manufactured  homes  to  use  as  rental  units  for  a  total  cost  of 
approximately $20,000,000.  Management believes that these manufactured homes will each generate approximately 
$300 per month in rental income in addition to lot rent.   

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 securities portfolio increased 7% or 
$4,301,019 primarily due to purchases of $9,707,038, partially offset by sales of securities with a cost of $9,369,202 
and an increase in the unrealized gain of $3,963,183.  The Company from time to time may purchase these securities 
on margin when there is an adequate yield spread.  At December 31, 2014, $19,392,382 was outstanding on the margin 
loan at a 2.0% interest rate.   

Net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  amounted  to  $24,326,461,  $11,238,088  and  $9,087,749  for  the 
years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  These increases were primarily due to the increase in 
income from operations generated from the acquisitions and the increased rental homes. 

Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $56,033,767, $110,365,339 and $66,985,675 for the years 
ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Cash flows used by investing activities in 2014 decreased as 
compared to 2013 primarily due to purchasing  fewer  manufactured home communities and securities available for 
sale in 2014 as compared to 2013.  Cash flows used by investing activities in 2013 increased as compared to 2012 
primarily due to the purchases of manufactured home communities and rental homes. 

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $32,174,955, $95,706,570 and $60,135,727 for the 
years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Cash flows provided by financing activities in 2014 
decreased  as  compared  to  2013  primarily  due  to  new  mortgages  in  2013  for  the  purchase  of  manufactured  home 
communities.  Cash flows provided by financing activities in 2013 increased as compared to 2012 primarily due to 
proceeds from the issuance of preferred and common stock, new mortgages and proceeds from short-term borrowings, 
offset by principal payments of mortgages and loans and payment of preferred and common dividends. 

Cash  flow  was  primarily  used  for  purchases  of  manufactured  home  communities,  capital  improvements, 
payment of dividends, purchases of  securities available for sale, purchase of inventory and rental  homes, loans to 
customers  for  the  sales  of  manufactured  homes,  and  expansion  of  existing  communities.    The  Company  meets 
maturing mortgage obligations by using a combination of cash flow and refinancing.  The dividend payments were 
primarily made from cash flow from operations.   

Capital  improvements  include  amounts  needed  to  meet  environmental  and  regulatory  requirements  in 
connection with the manufactured home communities that provide water or sewer service.  Excluding expansions and 
rental home purchases, the Company is budgeting approximately $7 million in capital improvements for 2015.   

The  Company’s  significant  commitments  and  contractual  obligations  relate  to  its  mortgages  payable, 
retirement  benefits,  purchases  of  property,  and  the  lease  on  its  corporate  offices  as  described  in  Note  8  to  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements. 

The Company has entered into definitive agreements to purchase four manufactured home communities with 
a  total of approximately  623  developed home sites located in  Pennsylvania for a purchase  price  of approximately 
$12.9 million.  One acquisition of 141 home  sites, with a  purchase price of $3,800,000 was completed in January 
2015.

The  Company  has  approximately  1,142  acres  of  undeveloped  land  which  it  could  develop  over  the  next 

several years. The Company continues to analyze the highest and best use of its vacant land. 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had total assets of $478,268,976 and total liabilities of $269,441,871.  

The Company believes that it has the ability to meet its obligations and to generate funds for new investments. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting 
Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”.  ASU No. 2014-08 changes the 
definition  of  a  discontinued  operation  to  include  only  those  disposals  of  components  of  an  entity  that  represent  a 
strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results.  ASU No. 2014-08 
is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted.  The 
Company has decided to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning January 1, 2014, and it 
did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2014-09,  “Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers”  as  a  new 
Topic, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606. The objective of ASU 2014-09 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 the new standard, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how 
revenue is recognized. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of 
other topics in the FASB ASC. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within 
those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 and shall be applied using either a full retrospective or modified 
retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard 
may have on the consolidated financial statements and the method of adoption. 

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. 

Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

The Company's principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk.  The Company mitigates this risk by 
maintaining prudent amounts of leverage, minimizing capital costs and interest expense while continuously evaluating 
all available debt and equity resources and following established risk management policies and procedures, which 
include the periodic use of derivatives.  The Company's primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to 
minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows.  The Company generally 
employs  derivative  instruments  that  effectively  convert  a  portion  of  its  variable  rate  debt  to  fixed  rate  debt.    The 
Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

$185,305,677 

The Company’s variable rate long-term debt consists of four mortgage loans with a total balance of $30,457,168 
as of December 31, 2014.  Interest rates on these mortgages range from prime plus  1.0% to LIBOR plus 2.25%.  To 
minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows, the Company has entered into 
two separate interest rate swap agreements.  These interest rate swap agreements have the effect of fixing the interest rates 
relative to specific mortgage loans totaling approximately $22.7 million.  The unrealized loss in fair value of the interest 
rate swap agreement amounted to $39,685 for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The effective fixed interest rates on 
these two loans are 3.89% and 4.39%. 

The Company's remaining variable rate mortgages totals approximately $7.8 million as of December 31, 2014.  
Interest rates on these mortgages range from  prime plus 1% to LIBOR plus 2.25%.  If prime  or LIBOR  increased or 
decreased  by  1.0%,  the  Company  believes  its  interest  expense  would  have  increased  or  decreased  by  approximately 
$78,000, based on the balance of the variable rate long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2014.  

On March 29, 2013, the Company entered into a $35 million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility with Bank of 
Montreal (“Credit Facility”).  The Company has the ability to increase the borrowing capacity by an amount not to exceed 
$15  million,  representing  a  maximum  aggregate  borrowing  capacity  of  $50  million,  subject  to  various  conditions,  as 
defined in the agreement. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is March 29, 2016 with a one year extension available at 
the Company’s option.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility can be used for, among other things, acquisitions, working 
capital, capital expenditures, and repayment of other indebtedness.  Borrowings bear interest at the Company’s option of 
LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75% or BMO’s prime lending rate plus 1.00% to 1.75%, based on the Company’s overall leverage.  
The Company incurs a fee on the unused commitment amount of up to 0.35% per annum.  The Credit Facility replaced 
the Company’s previous $5.0 million unsecured line of credit. As of December 31, 2014, the balance outstanding on the 
Credit Facility was $35,000,000.  Based on the current leverage ratio, interest on this borrowing is at LIBOR plus 2.75% 
for an interest rate of 2.91% as of December 31, 2014.  

The  Company  also  has  approximately  $18,300,000  in  variable  rate  debt.    This  debt  primarily  consists  of 
approximately $8.3 million outstanding on our inventory financing lines with interest rates ranging from prime with a 
minimum of 6% to prime plus 2% with a minimum of 8% after 18 months (weighted average interest rate of 6.62% as of 
December 31, 2014) and $10 million outstanding on our revolving line of credit to finance home sales with an interest rate 
of prime plus 50 basis points (interest rate of 3.75% as of December 31, 2014).  The carrying value of the Company’s 
variable rate debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2014.   In addition, the Company has approximately $724,000 
loan outstanding for the financing of rental homes with an interest rate of 6.99% at December 31, 2014 and $4,000,000 
outstanding on its commercial term loan with an interest rate of 4.625% at December 31, 2014.

The Company invests in equity securities of other REITs and is primarily exposed to market price risk from 
adverse changes in market rates and conditions.  The Company generally limits its marketable securities investments to no 
more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets.  All securities are classified as available for sale and are carried 
at fair value.  The Company obtains margin loans secured by its marketable securities.  The interest rate on the margin 
account is the bank’s margin rate and was 2.0% at December 31, 2014 and 2013.  There was $19,392,382 outstanding on 
the margin loans as of December 31, 2014.  As of December 31, 2014, the value of marketable securities was $63,555,961.  
In general, the Company may borrow up to 50% of the value of the marketable securities.

Item 9A – Controls and Procedures 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated 
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures  (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-
15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive 
Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  concluded  that  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  were  effective  to  give 
reasonable  assurances  to  the  timely  collection,  evaluation  and  disclosure  of  information  that  would  potentially  be 
subject  to  disclosure  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  and  the  rules  and  regulations 
promulgated thereunder as of December 31, 2014. 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

(a) 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting  

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over 
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  The Company’s internal 
control  system  was  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of 
published financial statements.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and 
operated,  can  provide  only  reasonable,  not  absolute,  assurance  that  we  will  detect  or  uncover  failures  to  disclose

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders 
UMH Properties, Inc. 

We have audited UMH Properties, Inc.’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31,  2014,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of 
Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (“COSO”)  (2013  framework).  UMH  Properties,  Inc.’s 
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment 
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual 
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in the accompanying Item 9A.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.  

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that  we  plan and perform  the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about  whether 
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining 
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing 
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, based upon the assessed risk, and performing 
such  other  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.  

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those 
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly 
reflect  the  transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the  company;  (2)  provide  reasonable  assurance  that 
transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally 
accepted accounting principles, (3) receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 
authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the  company;  and  (4)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have 
a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may 
deteriorate.  

 In our opinion, UMH Properties, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by 
COSO (2013 framework).  

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the consolidated balance sheets of UMH Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related 
consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each 
of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2014  and  our  report  dated  March  10,  2015  expressed  an 
unqualified opinion thereon.

reporting.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis  

Overview of Compensation Program  

The Compensation Committee (for purposes of this analysis, the "Committee") of the Board has been appointed 
to  discharge  the  Board's  responsibilities  relating  to  the  compensation  of  the  Company's  executive  officers.  The 
Committee  has  the  overall  responsibility  for  approving  and  evaluating  the  executive  officer  compensation  plans, 
policies and programs of the Company. The Committee's primary objectives include serving as an independent and 
objective  party  to  review  such  compensation  plans,  policies  and  programs.    The  Committee  has  not  retained  or 
obtained  the  advice  of  a  compensation  committee  consultant  for  determining  or  recommending  the  amount  of 
executive or director compensation. 

Throughout  this  report,  the  individuals  who  served  as  the  Company’s  chief  executive  officer  and  chief 
financial officer during fiscal 2014, as well as certain other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table 
presented below in Item 11 of this report, are sometimes referred to in this report as the "named executive officers."  

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives  

The  Committee  believes  that  a  well-designed  compensation  program  should  align  the  goals  of  the  chief 
executive officer with the goals of the shareholders, and that a significant part of the executive's compensation, over 
the long term, should be dependent upon the value created for shareholders. In addition, all executives should be held 
accountable through their compensation for the performance of the Company, and compensation levels should also 
reflect  the  executive's  individual  performance  in  an  effort  to  encourage  increased  individual  contributions  to  the 
Company's performance. The compensation philosophy, as reflected in the Company's employment agreements with 
its executives, is designed to motivate executives to focus on operating results and create long-term shareholder value 
by:  

• establishing a plan that attracts, retains and motivates executives through compensation that is competitive 

with a peer group of other publicly-traded real estate investment trusts, or REITs;  

• linking a portion of executives' compensation to the achievement of the Company's business plan by using 

measurements of the Company's operating results and shareholder return; and  

• building a pay-for-performance system that encourages and rewards successful initiatives within a team 

environment.  

The Committee believes that each of the above factors is important when determining compensation levels 
for named executive officers. The Committee reviews and approves the employment contracts for the Chairman of 
the Board and the President, as well as other named executive officers, including performance goals and objectives. 
The Committee annually evaluates performance of these executive officers in light of those goals and objectives. The 
Committee  considers  the  Company's  performance,  relative  stockholder  return,  the  total  compensation  provided  to 
comparable officers at  similarly-situated companies, and compensation  given to  named executive officers in prior 
years. The Committee uses the  Residential Sector of the Real Estate Compensation Survey (the survey), produced 
under the  guidance of  the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), as a guide  to setting 
compensation levels. Participant company data is not presented in a manner that specifically identifies any named 
individual or company. This survey details compensation by position type  and company size with statistical salary 
and  bonus  information  for  each  position.  The  Company’s  salary  and  bonus  amounts  are  compared  to  the  ranges 
presented for reasonableness. The Committee believes executive compensation packages provided by the Company 

-49- 

- 49 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
to  its  executive  officers  should  include  both  base  salaries  and  annual  bonus  awards  that  reward  corporate  and 
individual performance, as well as give incentives to executives to meet or exceed established goals. 

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions  

The Committee makes all final compensation decisions for the Company's  named executive officers. The 
Chairman of the Board and the President annually review the performance of the other named executive officers and 
then present their conclusions and recommendations to the Committee with respect to base salary adjustments and 
annual  cash  bonus  and  stock  option  and  restricted  stock  awards.  The  Committee  exercises  its  own  discretion  in 
modifying any recommended adjustments or awards, but does consider the recommendations from management who 
work closely with the other named executive officers. 

Role of Grants of Stock Options and Restricted Stock in Compensation Analysis 

The  Committee  views  the  grant  of  stock  options  and  restricted  stock  awards  as  a  form  of  long-term 
compensation.  The Committee believes that such grants promote the Company's goal of retaining key employees, 
and aligns the key employee's interests with those of the Company's shareholders from a long-term perspective.  The 
number of options or shares of restricted stock granted to each employee is determined by consideration of various 
factors including, but not limited to, the employee’s contribution, title, responsibilities and years of service.  

Role of Employment Agreements in Determining Executive Compensation 

Most of the Company's currently employed named executive officers are parties to employment agreements.  
These  agreements  provide  for  base  salaries,  bonuses  and  customary  fringe  benefits.    Other  key  elements  of  the 
Company’s compensation program for the named executive officers are stock options, restricted stock awards  and 
perquisites and other benefits.  Each of these is addressed separately below.  In determining initial compensation, the 
Committee considers all elements of a named executive officer’s total compensation package in comparison to current 
market practices and other benefits. 

Shareholder Advisory Vote 

One  way  to  determine  if  the  Company’s  compensation  program  reflects  the  interests  of  shareholders  is 
through  their  non-binding  vote.  At  the  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders  held  on  June  12,  2014,  the  Company’s 
shareholders approved by their advisory vote the compensation of the named executive officers.  

Consistent with both the Board of Directors’ recommendations and the results of the shareholder vote, the 
Company’s  Board  of  Directors  considered  the  recommendation  of  the  shareholders  and  has  determined  that  the 
Company (i) will not make any material changes to the manner in which executive compensation is awarded, and (ii) 
will  hold  advisory  votes  on  the  compensation  of  the  Company’s  named  executive  officers  every  three 
years.  Accordingly, the next stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation will be held at the Annual Meeting 
of Shareholders in June 2017. 

Base Salaries 

Base  salaries  are  paid  for  ongoing  performance  throughout  the  year.  In  order  to  compete  for  and  retain 
talented executives who are critical to the Company's long-term success, the Committee has determined that the base 
salaries of named executive officers should approximate those of executives of other equity REITs that compete with 
the  Company  for  employees,  investors  and  business,  while  also  taking  into  account  the  named  executive  officers' 
performance and tenure and the Company's performance relative to its peer companies within the REIT industry using 
the NAREIT Compensation Survey described above.    

-50- 

- 50 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
Bonuses 

In addition to the provisions for base salaries under the terms of their employment agreements, the President 
and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to receive an annual maximum cash bonus of up to 21% of base salary, based on 
the achievement of certain performance goals set by the Committee.  In order to receive a bonus, FFO must have increased 
3% during the year, or 9% over the three year contract period.  The following are the performance goals for the President: 

a. 

b. 

c. 

There shall be a minimum of 175 new home sales per year.  (Bonus of 10% of base salary.) 

Occupancy to increase 1%, with not more than 10% of the increase being from rentals.  (Bonus of 10% of base 
salary.) 

Acquisition of at least 350 spaces per year.  (Bonus of 7% of base salary.) 

Bonuses awarded to the other named executive officers are recommended by the Chairman of the Board and 
the President and Chief Executive Officer and are approved by the Committee.  The Company believes that short-
term rewards in the form of cash bonuses to senior executives generally should reflect short-term results and should 
take into consideration both the profitability and performance of the Company and the performance of the individual, 
which may include comparing such individual’s performance to the preceding year, reviewing the breadth and nature 
of the  senior executives’ responsibilities and  valuing  special contributions by each  such individual.   In evaluating 
performance of the Company annually, the Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors, including, among 
others, Funds From Operations (FFO), Core Funds From Operations (Core FFO), net income, growth in asset size, 
occupancy and total return to shareholders.  The Company considers FFO to be an important measure of an equity 
REIT’s operating performance and has adopted the definition suggested by the National Association of Real Estate 
Investment  Trusts  (NAREIT),  which  defines  FFO  to  mean  net  income  computed  in  accordance  with  accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of 
property, plus depreciation and amortization.  The Company defines Core FFO as FFO plus acquisition costs.  The 
Company considers FFO and Core FFO to be a meaningful, additional measures of operating performance primarily 
because it excludes the assumption that the value of its real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and because 
industry analysts have accepted these as performance measures.   

Other factors considered include the employee’s title and years of service.   The employee’s title generally 
reflects the employee’s responsibilities and the employee’s years of service  may be considered in determining the 
level of bonus in comparison to base salary.  The Committee has declined to use specific performance formulas with 
respect to the other named executive officers, believing that with respect to Company performance, such formulas do 
not adequately account for many factors, including, among others, the relative performance of the Company compared 
to  its  competitors  during  variations  in  the  economic  cycle,  and  that  with  respect  to  individual  performance,  such 
formulas  are  not  a  substitute  for  the  subjective  evaluation  by  the  Committee  of  a  wide  range  of  management  and 
leadership skills of each of the senior executives. 

Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards 

Stock options and restricted stock awards are recommended by the Chairman of the Board and the President 
and Chief Executive Officer.  In making its decisions, the Committee does not use an established formula or focus on 
a specific performance target.  The Committee recognizes that often outside forces beyond the control of management, 
such as economic conditions, changing real estate markets and other factors, may contribute to less favorable near 
term results even when sound strategic decisions have been made by the senior executives to position the Company 
for  longer  term  profitability.  Thus,  the  Compensation  Committee  also  attempts  to  identify  whether  the  senior 
executives are exercising the kind of judgment and making the types of decisions that will lead to future growth and 
enhanced  asset  value,  even  if  the  same  are  difficult  to  measure  on  a  current  basis.    For  example,  in  determining 
appropriate stock option and restricted stock awards, the Compensation Committee considers, among other matters, 
whether the senior executives have executed strategies that will provide adequate funding or appropriate borrowing 
capacity for future growth, whether acquisition strategies have been developed to ensure a future stream of reliable 
and increasing revenues for the Company, whether the selection of properties evidence appropriate risk management, 

-51- 

- 51 - 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
including  risks associated  with real estate  markets, and  whether the administration of  staff size  and compensation 
appropriately balances the current and projected operating requirements of the Company with the need to effectively 
control overhead costs.  

In fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee received the recommendations from the Chairman of the Board 
and the President and Chief Executive Officer for the number of options or restricted stock to be awarded. The factors 
that were considered in awarding the stock options and restricted stock included the following progress that was made 
by management: 

  Located, acquired and integrated fourteen manufactured home communities without placing undue burden 

on liquidity; 

  Achieved year-over-year portfolio growth of 12%, resulting in over 15,000 developed home sites; 

 

 

Increased occupancy from 81.5% to 82.3% and same store occupancy from 81.5% to 83.2%; 

Increased our portfolio of rental homes by 34% year-over-year, resulting in approximately 2,600 homes with 
an occupancy of 91.5%; 

  Raised approximately $33 million in equity via the DRIP; 

  Maintained a low weighted average interest rate at 4.8%; 

  Managed general and administrative costs to an appropriate level; and 

  Maintained cash distributions to shareholders;  

The  individual  awards  were  allocated  based  on  the  named  executive  officers’  individual  contributions  to 
these accomplishments.     In addition, the awards  were  compared to each named officers’ total compensation and 
compared with comparable real estate investment trusts (REITs) using the annual Compensation Survey published by 
NAREIT as a guide for setting total compensation.  

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits  

The Company's employment  agreements provide the  named  executive officers  with perquisites and other 
personal  benefits  that  the  Company  and  the  Committee  believe  are  reasonable  and  consistent  with  its  overall 
compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The 
Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the named executive 
officers.  

  The  named  executive  officers  are  provided  the  following  benefits  under  the  terms  of  their  employment 
agreements: an allotted number of paid vacation weeks; eligibility for the executives, spouses and dependents in all 
Company sponsored employee benefits plans, including 401(k) plan, group health, accident, and life insurance, on 
such terms no less favorable than applicable to any other executive; use of an automobile; and, supplemental disability 
insurance, at the Company's cost, as agreed to by the Company and the named executive officer.  Attributed costs of 
the personal benefits described above for the named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, 
are included in “All Other Compensation” of the Summary Compensation Table provided below under Item 11 of this 
report.  

Payments upon Termination or Change in Control 

In addition, the named executive officers' employment agreements each contain provisions relating to change 
in control events and severance upon termination for events other than for cause or good reason (as defined under the 
terms of the employment agreements). These change in control and severance terms are designed to promote stability 
and continuity of senior management. Information regarding these provisions is included in “Employment

change in control payments. 

Evaluation 

  Mr. Eugene Landy is employed under an amended employment agreement with the Company.  Based on the 
Committee’s evaluation of his performance, his base compensation under his amended contract was increased from 
$175,000, which had remained unchanged since January 1, 2004, to $250,000 per year, effective October 1, 2014.  
Mr. Landy also received bonuses totaling $34,615 primarily based on performance, including growth of the Company.  
Additionally, Mr. Eugene Landy received $43,250 in director’s fees and fringe benefits.  In evaluating Mr. Eugene 
Landy’s leadership performance, during 2011, the Committee awarded Mr. Eugene Landy an Outstanding Leadership 
Achievement Award (Award) in the amount of $250,000 per year for three years. This Award  was to recognize Mr. 
Eugene Landy’s exceptional leadership as Chairman of the Board for over 40 years.   

The Committee also reviewed the progress made by Mr. Samuel A. Landy, President and Chief Executive 
Officer, including FFO and Core FFO.  Mr. Samuel Landy is under an employment agreement with the Company.  
His  base  compensation  was  $416,745  for  2014.    Mr.  Samuel  Landy  also  received  bonuses  totaling  $46,812  and 
director’s  fees  and  fringe  benefits  totaling  $53,450.    Bonuses  were  primarily  based  upon  achievement  of  certain 
performance goals. 

  Ms. Anna Chew is under an employment agreement with the Company.  Her base compensation under this 
contract is $316,841 for 2014.  Ms. Chew also received bonuses totaling $37,186 and director’s fees and fringe benefits 
totaling  $53,450.    Bonuses  were  based  on  performance,  including  growth  of  the  Company,  recommended  by  the 
Chairman of the Board and the President and Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee. 

The Committee has also approved the recommendations of the  Chairman of the Board and the President and 
Chief Executive Officer concerning the other named executives’ annual salaries, bonuses, option and restricted stock 
grants and fringe benefits. 

In addition to its determination of the executive's individual performance levels for 2014, the Committee also 
compared the executive's  total compensation  for  2014 to that of  similarly-situated personnel in the REIT industry 
using the NAREIT Compensation Survey described above.  The Company’s salary and bonus amounts were compared 
to  the  ranges  presented  for  reasonableness.     The  Company’s  total  compensation  fell  in  the  lowest  range  (25th 
percentile) of this survey.   

Risk Management 

The  Board of Directors does not believe  that the  Executive Compensation Program raises any risks that are 
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Executive officers are compensated on a fixed 
salary  basis  and  have  not  been  awarded  any  bonuses  or  other  compensation  that  might  encourage  the  taking  of 
unnecessary or excessive risks that threaten the long-term value of the Company.  The Board has attempted to align 
the interests of the Board of Directors and the executive officers with the long-term interests of the Company and the 
Shareholders  through  grants  of  stock  options  and  restricted  stock  awards,  thereby  giving  the  Board  and  executive 
officers additional incentives to protect the long-term value of the Company.

Stock Compensation Plan 

On June 13, 2013, the shareholders approved and ratified the Company's 2013 Stock Option and Stock Award 
Plan (the 2013 Plan) authorizing the grant of stock options or restricted stock awards to Directors, officers and key 
employees.  The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2013 Plan is 3,000,000 shares.  If and to 
the extent that an award made under the 2013 Plan is forfeited, terminated, expires or is canceled unexercised, the 
number of shares associated with the forfeited, terminated, expired or canceled portion of the award shall again become 
available for additional awards under the 2013 Plan.  The 2013 Plan replaced the Company's 2003 Stock Option and 
Award Plan, as amended, which, pursuant to its terms, terminated in 2013.  The outstanding options under the 2003 
Stock Option and Award Plan, as amended, remain outstanding until exercised, forfeited or expired. Not more than 
200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted as options in any one fiscal year to a participant 
under  the  2013  Plan.  In  general,  each  option  may  be  exercised  only  after  one  year  of  continued  service  with  the 
Company.  The maximum number of shares underlying restricted stock awards that may be granted in any one fiscal 
year to a participant shall be 100,000.

Employment Agreements 

The Company has an Employment Agreement with Mr. Eugene W. Landy, Chairman of the Board.  Under 
this agreement, prior to January 1, 2004, Mr. Landy received an annual base compensation of $150,000 (as amended) 
plus bonuses and customary fringe benefits, including health insurance, participation in the Company’s 401(k) Plan, 
stock options, five weeks’ vacation and use of an automobile.  Additionally, there may be bonuses voted by the Board 
of  Directors.    The  Employment  Agreement  is  terminable  by  either  party  at  any  time  subject  to  certain  notice 
requirements.  On severance of employment by the Company, Mr. Landy will receive severance of $450,000, payable 
$150,000 on severance and $150,000 on the first and second anniversaries of severance.  In the event of  disability, 
Mr. Landy’s compensation will continue for a period of three years, payable monthly.  On retirement, Mr. Landy will 
receive a pension of $50,000 a year for ten years, payable in monthly installments.  In the event of death, Mr. Landy’s 
designated beneficiary will receive $450,000, $100,000 thirty days after death and the balance one year after death.  
The Employment Agreement automatically renews each year for successive one-year periods.  Effective January 1, 
2004, this agreement was amended to increase Mr. Landy's annual base compensation to $175,000.  Additionally, Mr. 
Landy's pension benefit of $50,000 per year has been extended for an additional three years.  On April 14, 2008, the 
Company  executed  a  Second  Amendment  to  the  Employment  Agreement  with  Mr.  Landy  (the  second 
amendment).  The second amendment provides that in the event of a change in control, Eugene W. Landy shall receive 
a lump sum payment of $1,200,000, provided the sale price of the Company is at least $16 per share of common stock.  
A change of control shall be defined as the consummation of a reorganization, merger, share exchange, consolidation, 
or sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.  This change of control provision shall 
not apply to any combination between the Company and MREIC.  Payment shall be made simultaneously with the 
closing  of  the  transaction,  and  only  in  the  event  that  the  transaction  closes.    During  2013,  the  Board of  Directors 
extended Mr. Landy’s pension benefit for an  additional three years, through 2016.  Effective October 1, 2014, the 
Company amended the employment agreement with Mr. Landy, increasing his base salary from $175,000 to $250,000.  

Effective  January  1,  2012,  the  Company  and  Samuel  A.  Landy  entered  into  a  three-year  Employment 
Agreement under which Mr. Samuel Landy receives an annual base salary of $378,000 for 2012, $396,900 for 2013 
and $416,745 for 2014, subject to increases in Funds from Operations (FFO) of 3% per year or 9% over the three-year 
period.  If this increase is not met, the salary increase  will be limited to the increase in the consumer price index.  
Bonuses are based on performance goals relating to FFO, home sales, occupancy and acquisitions, with a maximum 
of 21% of salary.  Mr. Samuel Landy received a restricted stock grant of 25,000 shares in 2012.  In each subsequent 
calendar year of employment pursuant to the Agreement, restricted stock shall be awarded to Mr. Samuel Landy at 
the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Samuel Landy will receive customary 
fringe benefits, four weeks of vacation, reimbursement of reasonable and necessary business expenses and use of an 
automobile.  The Company will reimburse Mr. Samuel Landy for the cost of a disability insurance policy.  In the event 
of a merger, sale or change of voting control of the Company, excluding transactions between the Company and

MREIC, Mr. Samuel Landy will have the right to extend and renew this employment agreement so that the expiration 
date will be three years from the date of merger, sale or change of voting control, or the employee may terminate the 
employment agreement and be entitled to receive one year’s compensation in accordance with the agreement.  If there 
is a termination of employment by the Company for any reason, either involuntary or voluntary, including the death 
of  the  employee,  the  employee  shall  be  entitled  to  the  greater  of  the  salary  due  under  the  remaining  term  of  the 
agreement or one year’s compensation at the date of termination, paid monthly over the remaining term or life of the 
agreement.  Mr. Landy is currently negotiating a new employment agreement. 

Effective  January  1,  2012,  the  Company  and  Anna  T.  Chew  entered  into  a  new  three-year  employment

Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence 

The Company will file its definitive Proxy Statement for its 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders within 
the period required under the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Additional information 
required  by  this  Item  is  included  under  the  caption  “ELECTION  OF  DIRECTORS”  and  “CERTAIN 
RELATIONSHIPS  AND  RELATED  TRANSACTIONS”  of  such  Proxy  Statement  and  is  incorporated  herein  by 
reference. 

Certain  relationships  and  related  party  transactions  are  incorporated  herein  by  reference  to  Part  IV,  Item 

15(a)(1)(vi), Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions. 

No director, executive officer, or any immediate family member of such director or executive officer may 
enter into any transaction or arrangement with the Company without the prior approval of the Board of Directors.  The 
Board of Directors will appoint a Business Judgment Committee consisting of independent directors who are also 
independent of the transaction or arrangement.  This Committee will recommend to the Board of Directors approval 
or  disapproval  of  the  transaction  or  arrangement.    In  determining  whether  to  approve  such  a  transaction  or 
arrangement, the Business Judgment Committee will take into account, among other factors, whether the transaction 
was on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available to third parties and the extent of the 
executive officer’s or director’s involvement in such transaction or arrangement.   While the Company does not have 
specific written standards for approving such related party transactions, such transactions are only approved if it is in 
the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.  Additionally, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and 
Ethics,  which is found at the Company’s  website at  www.umh.com, requires Directors, officers and employees to  
notify and report a potential or apparent conflict of interest, in the case of a Director or the principal executive officer, 
to the Board, in the case of an officer other than the principal executive officer, to the principal executive officer, and, 
in  the  case  of  an  employee,  to  his  or  her  supervisor.    Further,  to  identify  related  party  transactions,  the  Company 
submits and requires our directors and executive officers to complete director and officer questionnaires identifying 
any transactions with the Company in which the director, executive officer or their immediate family members have 
an interest.   

See  identification  and  other  information  relating  to  independent  directors  under  Item  10  and  committee 

members under Item 11.

been  so  pre-approved.    The  pre-approval  requirements  do  not  prohibit  day-to-day  normal  tax  consulting  services, 
which matters will not exceed $10,000 in the aggregate.   

The  Audit  Committee  has  determined  that  the  provision  of  the  non-audit  services  described  above  is 

compatible with maintaining PKF O’Connor Davies’ independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders 
UMH Properties, Inc. 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  UMH  Properties,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (the 
“Company”)  as  of  December  31,  2014  and  2013  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  income  (loss), 
comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity, and cash flows  for  each of the  three  years in the period ended 
December 31, 2014. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2)(i). 
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. 

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board 
(United  States).  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about 
whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a 
test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the 
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  consolidated 
financial  position  of  UMH  Properties,  Inc.  at  December  31,  2014  and  2013,  and  the  consolidated  results  of  its 
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial 
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in 
all material respects the information set forth therein. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on criteria established 
in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 10, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

UMH PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
DECEMBER 31, 2014 and 2013 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION  

UMH  Properties,  Inc.,  a  Maryland  corporation,  and  its  subsidiaries  (the  Company)  operates  as  a  real  estate 
investment trust (REIT) deriving its income primarily from real estate rental operations.  The Company, through its wholly-
owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F), sells manufactured home in its communities. Inherent in 
the operations of manufactured home communities are site vacancies.  S&F was established to fill these vacancies and 
potentially 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%  of  its  undepreciated  assets.    Management  views  the 
Company as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to its allocation of capital and resources.

The Company prepares its  financial  statements under the accrual basis of accounting, in conformity  with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).  The Company’s subsidiaries 
are all 100% wholly-owned.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of these subsidiaries.  
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Company does not have a 
majority or minority interest in any other company, either consolidated or unconsolidated.   

Use of Estimates 

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  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 revenue and expenses for the years then ended.  These estimates and 
assumptions include the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, depreciation, valuation of securities, 
reserves  and  accruals,  and  stock  compensation  expense.    Actual  results  could  differ  from  these  estimates  and 
assumptions. 

Investment Property and Equipment and Depreciation 

Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation for Sites and Building is computed principally on 
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 15 to 27.5 years).  Depreciation of 
Improvements  to  Sites  and  Buildings,  Rental  Homes  and  Equipment  and  Vehicles  is  computed  principally  on  the 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 3 to 27.5 years).  Land Development 
Costs are not depreciated until they are put in use, at which time they are capitalized as Sites and Land Improvements.  
Interest  Expense  pertaining  to  Land  Development  Costs  are  capitalized.   Maintenance  and  Repairs  are  charged  to 
expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized.  The costs and related accumulated depreciation of property 
sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the financial statement and any gain or loss is reflected in the current 
year’s results of operations.  

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-
10, Property, Plant & Equipment (ASC 360-10) to measure impairment in real estate investments. Rental properties 
are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of 
expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying 
value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating 
income,  trends  and  prospects  as  well  as  the  effects  of  leasing  demand,  competition  and  other  factors.  Upon 
determination  that  a  permanent  impairment  has  occurred,  rental  properties  are  reduced  to  their  fair  value.  For 
properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated 
cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the 
property  and/or  it  is  actively  being  marketed  for  sale.  A property  to  be  disposed  of  is  reported  at  the  lower  of  its 
carrying  amount  or  its  estimated  fair  value,  less  its  cost  to  sell.  Subsequent  to  the  date  that  a  property  is  held  for 
disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded. 

The  Company conducted a comprehensive  review of all real estate asset classes in accordance with ASC 
360-10-35-21.  The process entailed the analysis of property  for instances  where  the  net book value exceeded the 
estimated  fair  value.  The  Company  utilizes  the  experience  and  knowledge  of  its  internal  valuation  team  to  derive 
certain assumptions used to determine an operating property’s cash flow. Such assumptions include lease-up rates, 
rental rates, rental growth rates, and capital expenditures.  The Company reviewed its operating properties in light of 
the requirements of ASC 360-10 and determined that, as of December 31, 2014, the undiscounted cash flows over the 

-79- 

- 79 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
expected holding period for these properties were in excess of their carrying values and, therefore, no impairment 
charges were required. 

Acquisitions 

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805).  
ASC 805 requires that transaction costs, such as broker fees, transfer taxes, legal, accounting, valuation, and other 
professional and consulting fees, related to acquisitions be expensed as incurred. 

Upon acquisition of a property, the Company allocates the purchase price of the property based upon the fair 
value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, site and land improvements, buildings and improvements 
and rental homes.  The Company generally allocates the purchase price of an acquired property determined by internal 
evaluation as well as a third-party appraisal of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents  

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and investments with an original maturity of three months or less.  
The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company 
has not experienced any losses in these accounts in the past.  The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates 
their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature. 

Securities Available for Sale  

Investments in non-real estate assets consist of marketable securities of other REIT’s, which are composed 
of common and preferred stock.  These securities are all publicly-traded and purchased on the open market, through 
private transactions or through dividend reinvestment plans.  These securities are classified among three categories:  
held-to-maturity, trading and available-for-sale.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s securities are all 
classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value based upon quoted market prices.  Gains or losses on the 
sale of securities are based on identifiable cost and are accounted for on a trade date basis.  Unrealized holding gains 
and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of Shareholders’ Equity until realized.  
The changes in unrealized net holding gains are reflected as comprehensive income.   

The Company individually reviews and evaluates our marketable securities for impairment on a quarterly basis 
or when events or circumstances occur.  The Company considers, among other things, credit aspects of the issuer, amount 
of decline in fair value over cost and length of time in a continuous loss position.  The Company has developed a general 
policy of evaluating whether an unrealized loss is other than temporary.  On a quarterly basis, the Company makes an 
initial review of every individual security in its portfolio.  If the security is impaired, the Company first determines our 
intent and ability to hold this investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market 
value.  Next, the Company determines the length of time and the extent of the impairment.  Barring other factors, including 
the downgrading of the security or the cessation of dividends, if the fair value of the security is below cost by less than 
20% for less than 6 months and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is deemed to not 
be other than temporarily impaired.  Otherwise, the Company reviews additional information to determine whether the 
impairment is other than temporary.  The Company discusses and analyzes any relevant information known about the 
security, such as:   

a. 

b. 
c. 
d. 

e. 

Whether the decline is attributable to adverse conditions related to the security or to specific conditions 
in an industry or in a geographic area. 
Any downgrading of the security by a rating agency. 
Whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated. 
Status  of  dividends  –  Whether  dividends  have  been  reduced  or  eliminated,  or  scheduled  interest 
payments have not been made. 
Analysis  of  the  underlying  assets  (including  NAV  analysis)  using  independent  analysis  or  recent 
transactions. 

The Company normally holds REIT securities long term and has the ability and intent to hold securities to 
recovery.  The Company generally limits its marketable securities investments to no more than approximately 15% of 
its undepreciated assets. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary,  an impairment charge is 
recognized in earnings and the cost basis of the individual security is written down to fair value as the  new cost basis.

Inventory of Manufactured Homes  

Inventory of manufactured homes is valued at the lower of cost or market value and is determined by the 

specific identification method.  All inventory is considered finished goods. 

Accounts and Notes Receivables  

The Company’s accounts, notes and other receivables are stated at their outstanding balance reduced by an 
allowance for uncollectible accounts.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of its receivables whenever events 
occur or there are changes in circumstances such that management believes it is probable that it will be unable to 
collect  all  amounts  due  according  to  the  contractual  terms  of  the  notes  receivable  or  lease  agreements.    The 
collectability of notes receivable is measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flow discounted 
at  the  notes  receivable  effective  interest  rate  or  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  if  the  notes  receivable  is  collateral 
dependent.    Total  notes  receivables  at  December  31,  2014  and  2013  was  $20,761,642  and  $23,630,159, 
respectively.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the reserves for uncollectible accounts, notes and other receivables 
were $1,068,465 and $1,097,387, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the provisions 
for uncollectible notes and other receivables were $1,020,655, $760,570 and $745,993, respectively.  Charge-offs and 
other adjustments related to repossessed homes for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to 
$1,049,577, $601,178 and $620,519, respectively. 

The  Company’s  notes  receivable  primarily  consists  of  installment  loans  collateralized  by  manufactured 
homes with principal and interest payable monthly.  The average interest rate on these loans is approximately 9.5% 
and the average maturity is approximately 10 years.   

Unamortized Financing Costs  

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining mortgages and other financings and refinancings are deferred 
and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related obligations, which is not materially different 
than the effective interest method.  Unamortized costs are charged to expense upon prepayment of the obligation.  As 
of December 31, 2014 and 2013, accumulated amortization amounted  to $1,555,818 and $1,023,893, respectively.  
The Company estimates that aggregate amortization expense will be approximately $596,000 for 2015, $465,000 for 
2016, $281,000 for 2017, $216,000 for 2018 and $205,000 for 2019. 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate 
risk on our variable rate debt.   We attempt 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 had entered into various interest rate swap agreements that had the effect of fixing interest rates relative to 
specific mortgage loans.   

During  2012,  the  Company  entered  into  two  interest  rate  swap  agreements  that  have  the  effect  of  fixing 

interest rates relative to specific mortgage loans as follows: 

Mortgage 

Due Date

LIBOR + 3.00% 

4.39% 
3.89% 

$10,486,045  
$12,177,725 

The Company's interest rate swap agreements are based upon 30-day LIBOR.  The re-pricing and scheduled 
maturity dates,  payment dates, index and the  notional amounts of the interest rate  swap agreements coincide  with 
those  of the  underlying  mortgage.  The interest rate  swap agreements are  net settled  monthly.  The Company has 
designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges and has recorded the fair value on the balance sheet in accordance 
with  ASC  815,  Derivatives  and  Hedging  (See  Note  13  for  information  on  the  determination  of  fair  value).    The 
effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges will be reported as a component of Accumulated Other

- 81 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
Comprehensive  Income  in  our  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.    To  the  extent  that  the  hedging  relationships  are  not 
effective or do not qualify as cash flow hedges, the ineffective portion is recorded in interest expense.  Hedges that 
received designated hedge accounting treatment are evaluated for effectiveness at the time that they are designated as 
well as through the hedging period.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company has determined that these interest rate 
swap agreements are highly effective as cash flow hedges.  As a result, the fair value of these derivatives of $(39,685) 
and $(39,840) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was recorded as a component of Accumulated Other 
Comprehensive Income, with the corresponding liability included in Accrued Liabilities and Deposits. 

Revenue Recognition  

The Company derives its income primarily from the rental of manufactured home sites.  The Company also 
owns approximately 2,600 rental units which are rented to residents.  Rental and related income is recognized on the 
accrual basis over the term of the lease, which is typically one year or less. 

Sale of  manufactured homes  is recognized on  the  full accrual basis  when certain criteria are  met.  These 
criteria include the following:  (a) initial and continuing payment by the buyer must be adequate:  (b) the receivable, 
if any, is not subject to future subordination; (c) the benefits and risks of ownership are substantially transferred to the 
buyer;  and  (d)  the  Company  does  not  have  a  substantial  continued  involvement  with  the  home  after  the  sale.  
Alternatively,  when  the  foregoing  criteria  are  not  met,  the  Company  recognizes  gains  by  the  installment  method.  
Interest income on loans receivable is not accrued when, in the opinion of management, the collection of such interest 
appears doubtful. 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share 

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number 
of common shares outstanding during the period (22,496,103, 18,724,321 and 16,197,339 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively).  Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average 
number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted-average number of net shares that would be issued upon 
exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method (22,539,708, 18,789,662 and 16,260,225 in 2014, 2013 
and 2012, respectively) (See Note 6).  The common stock equivalent resulting from options in the amount of 43,605, 
65,341  and  62,886  for  2014,  2013  and  2012,  respectively,  are  included  in  the  diluted  weighted  average  shares 
outstanding.  As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, options to purchase 1,125,000, 502,000 and 586,000 shares, 
respectively, were antidilutive. 

Stock Compensation Plan 

The Company accounts for  awards of  stock options and restricted stock in accordance with ASC 718-10, 
Compensation-Stock Compensation.  ASC 718-10 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated 
and amortized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period).  The compensation cost for stock option 
grants is determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date 
less estimated forfeitures.  The compensation expense for restricted stock is recognized based on the fair value of the 
restricted stock awards less estimated forfeitures.  The fair value of restricted stock awards is equal to the fair value 
of the  Company’s stock on the grant date.   Compensation  costs,  which is included in General and Administrative 
Expenses, of $922,944, $850,349 and $573,244 have been recognized in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  During 
2014,  2013  and  2012,  compensation  costs  included  a  one-time  charge  of  $98,000,  $142,000,  and  $123,490, 
respectively,  for  stock  option  grants  awarded  to  one  participant  who  is  of  retirement  age  and  therefore  the  entire 
amount of measured compensation cost has been recognized at grant date.  Included in Note 6 to these consolidated 
financial  statements  are  the  assumptions  and  methodology  used  to  calculate  the  fair  value  of  stock  options  and 
restricted stock awards. 

Income Tax 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of Sections 856 to 860 of 
the Internal Revenue Code.  Under such provisions, the Company will not be taxed on that portion of its income which 
is distributed to shareholders, provided it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income, has at least 75% of its assets 
in real estate investments and meets certain other requirements for qualification as a REIT.  The Company has and 
intends to continue to distribute all of its income currently, and therefore no provision has been made for income or 
excise taxes.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes 
at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT 
for four subsequent taxable years.  The Company is also subject to certain state and local income, excise or franchise 

-82- 

- 82 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
taxes.  In addition, the Company has a taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRS) which is subject to federal and state income 
taxes at regular corporate tax rates (See Note 11).   

The  Company  follows  the  provisions  of  ASC  Topic  740,  Income  Taxes,  that,  among  other  things,  defines  a 
recognition threshold and  measurement attribute  for the  financial statement recognition and  measurement of a tax 
position  taken  or  expected  to  be  taken  in  a  tax  return.  ASC  Topic  740  also  provides  guidance  on  de-recognition, 
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.   Based on its evaluation, 
the Company determined that it has no uncertain tax positions and no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 
2014.  The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as interest expense.  As 
of December 31, 2014, the tax years 2011 through and including 2014 remain open to examination by the Internal 
Revenue Service.  There are currently no federal tax examinations in progress. 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) 

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other 
comprehensive income (loss) consists of the change in unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale and 
the change in the fair value of derivatives.   

Reclassifications 

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior years have been reclassified to conform 

to the financial statement presentation for the current year. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting 
Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”.  ASU No. 2014-08 changes the 
definition  of  a  discontinued  operation  to  include  only  those  disposals  of  components  of  an  entity  that  represent  a 
strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results.  ASU No. 2014-08 
is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted.  The 
Company has decided to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning January 1, 2014, and it 
did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2014-09,  “Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers”  as  a  new 
Topic, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606. The objective of ASU 2014-09 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 the new standard, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how 
revenue is recognized. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of 
other topics in the FASB ASC. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within 
those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 and shall be applied using either a full retrospective or modified 
retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard 
may have on the consolidated financial statements and the method of adoption. 

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.

Many oil and gas companies compete for the opportunity to drill for oil and gas.  Successful bidders pay an 
upfront purchase price (“bonus payment”).  On May 23, 2012, the Company received a bonus payment of $499,471 
at one of its communities, which has been recorded as Other Income.  This amount is not refundable and has been 
earned since the Company has no  further obligation relating to it.  In addition to this upfront bonus payment,  the 
Company entered into an agreement (“Lease”) whereby the oil and gas company may remove the oil and gas from the 
property, provided that it pays the Company a 20% fee (“royalty”) based on the amount of the oil and gas removed.  
The Company has not earned any royalty fees to date.  The initial term of the Lease is for five years, with an option 
to extend for an additional five years under the same terms and conditions as contained in the original lease.

have  a  10  year  term  from  the  date  of  the  borrowing.  The  amount  outstanding  on  this  loan  was  $723,548,  as  of 
December 31, 2014.

Unsecured Lines of Credit 

On March 29, 2013, the Company entered into a $35 million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility with Bank 
of Montreal (“Credit Facility”).  The Company has the ability to increase the borrowing capacity by an amount not to 
exceed  $15  million,  representing  a  maximum  aggregate  borrowing  capacity  of  $50  million,  subject  to  various 
conditions, as defined in the agreement. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is March 29, 2016 with a one year 
extension available at the  Company’s option.  Borrowings under the  Credit Facility can be used for, among other 
things, acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, and repayment of other indebtedness.  Borrowings will bear 
interest at the Company’s option of LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75% or BMO’s prime lending rate plus 1.00% to 1.75%, 
based on the Company’s overall leverage.  Based on leverage ratios, interest on this borrowing is at LIBOR plus 275 
basis points or 2.91% as of December 31, 2014, and LIBOR plus 225 basis points or 2.42% as of December 31, 2013.  
The Company incurs a fee on the unused commitment amount of up to 0.35% per annum.  The Credit Facility replaces 
the Company’s former $5.0 million unsecured line of credit, which was at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 375 basis 
points.  As of December 31, 2014, the amount outstanding on the Credit Facility was $35,000,000.

NOTE 6 – STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN 

On August 14, 2003, the shareholders approved and ratified the Company’s 2003 Stock Option Plan (the 
2003  Plan)  authorizing  the  grant  to  officers  and  key  employees  of  options  to  purchase  up  to  1,500,000  shares  of 
common stock.  On June 7, 2010, the shareholders approved and ratified an amendment and restatement of the Plan.  
The amendment and restatement made two substantive changes:  (1) the inclusion of Directors as participants in the 
Plan,  and  (2)  the  ability  to  grant  restricted  stock  to  Directors,  officers  and  key  employees.    The  amendment  and 
restatement  also  made  other  conforming,  technical  and  other  minor  changes.  The  amendment  also  makes  certain 
modifications and clarifications, including concerning administration and compliance with applicable tax rules, such 
as Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.  There was no change to the total number of shares subject to grant 
under the Plan.    

On June 13, 2013, the shareholders approved and ratified the Company's 2013 Stock Option and Stock Award 
Plan (the 2013 Plan) authorizing the grant of stock options or restricted stock awards to directors, officers and key 
employees of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock.  All options are exercisable one year from 
the date of grant. The option price shall not be below the fair market value at date of grant. If and to the extent that an 
award made under the 2013 Plan is forfeited, terminated, expires or is canceled unexercised, the number of shares 
associated with the forfeited, terminated, expired or canceled portion of the award shall again become available for 
additional awards under the  2013 Plan.  The 2013 Plan replaced the Company's 2003 Plan,  which, pursuant to its 
terms, terminated in 2013.  The outstanding options under the 2003 Stock Option and Award Plan, as amended, remain 
outstanding until exercised, forfeited or expired.  Not more than 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may 
be  granted  as  options  in  any  one  fiscal  year  to  a  participant  under  the  2013  Plan.  In  general,  each  option  may  be 
exercised only after one year of continued service with the Company.   

The Compensation Committee determines the recipients of restricted stock awards; the number of restricted 
shares to be awarded; the length of the restricted period of the award; the restrictions applicable to the award including, 

-92- 

- 91 - 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
              
 
 
 
without limitation, the employment or retirement status of the participant; rules governing forfeiture and restrictions 
applicable to any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other encumbrance of the restricted stock during the restricted 
period; and the eligibility to share in dividends and other distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders during the 
restricted period. The maximum number of shares underlying restricted stock awards that may be granted in any one 
fiscal year to a participant shall be 100,000 shares.   

              Unless otherwise provided for in an underlying restricted stock award agreement, if a participant’s status as 
an employee or director of the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability, the restrictions will lapse on 
such date.  Unless otherwise provided for in an underlying restricted stock award agreement, the Plan provides that if 
an  individual’s  status  as  an  employee  or  director  is  terminated  by  reason  of  retirement  following  an  involuntary 
termination  (other  than  for  “cause”  as  defined  in  the  2013  Plan),  the  restrictions  will  generally  lapse,  unless  the 
restricted stock award is intended to constitute “performance based” compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of 
the Internal Revenue Code.   If a participant’s status as an employee or director terminates for any other reason, the 
Plan  provides  that  a  participant  will  generally  forfeit  any  outstanding  restricted  stock  awards,  unless  otherwise 
indicated in the applicable award agreement.  Shares of restricted stock that are forfeited become available again for 
issuance under the 2013 Plan.  The Compensation Committee has the authority to accelerate the time at which the 
restrictions  may  lapse  whenever  it  considers  that  such  action  is  in  the  best  interests  of  the  Company  and  of  its 
stockholders, whether by reason of changes in tax laws, a “change in control” as defined in the 2013 Plan or otherwise. 

The  Company  accounts  for  stock  options  and  restricted  stock  in  accordance  with  ASC  718-10, 
Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718-10 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated 
and amortized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period).   

Stock Options 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, twenty-five employees were granted options to purchase a total 
of  339,000  shares.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  twenty-four  employees  were  granted  options  to 
purchase a total of 392,000 shares.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, fifteen employees were granted options 
to purchase a total of 94,000 shares.  The fair value of these options for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 
2012 was approximately $332,000, $556,000 and $87,000, respectively, based on assumptions noted below and is 
being amortized over the 1-year vesting period.  The remaining unamortized stock option expense was $97,594 as of 
December 31, 2014, and that amount will be expensed in 2015. 

The Company calculates the fair value of each option grant on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-

pricing model which requires the Company to provide certain inputs, as follows:  

•   The  assumed  dividend  yield  is  based  on  the  Company’s  expectation  of  an  annual  dividend  rate  for  regular 

dividends over the estimated life of the option.  

•   Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period relevant to the 

related stock option grant.  

•   The risk-free interest rate utilized is the interest rate on U.S. Government Bonds and Notes having the same 

life as the estimated life of the Company’s option awards.  

•   Expected life of the options granted is estimated based on historical data reflecting actual hold periods.  

•   Estimated forfeiture is based on historical data reflecting actual forfeitures.

The aggregate  intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price  of the  underlying 
awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock for the options that were in-the-money.  The aggregate 
intrinsic value of options outstanding as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $395,243, $421,563 and $602,653, 
respectively, of which $395,243, $421,563 and $602,653 relate to options exercisable.  The intrinsic value of options 
exercised in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $57,250, $-0- and $18,000, respectively, determined as of the date of option 
exercise.   The  weighted-average remaining contractual term of the above options was  4.3, 4.8 and 3.9 years as of 
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, amounts 
charged  to  stock  compensation  expense  relating  to  stock  option  grants,  which  is  included  in  General  and 
Administrative Expenses, totaled $437,063, $411,017 and $69,253, respectively. 

Restricted Stock 

On January 15, 2014, the Company awarded  25,000 shares of restricted stock to one participant.  During 
2013, the Company did not award any restricted stock grants.  During 2012, the Company awarded 75,000 shares of 
restricted stock to nine participants.  The grant date fair value of restricted stock grants awarded to participants was 
$232,750, $-0- and $803,700 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These grants vest 
in equal installments over five years.  As of December 31, 2014, there remained a total of $845,429 of unrecognized 
restricted stock compensation related to outstanding non-vested restricted stock grants awarded and outstanding at 
that date.  Restricted stock compensation is expected to be expensed over a remaining weighted average period of 2.3 
years.  For the years ended  December 31 , 2014, 2013 and 2012, amounts charged to  stock compensation expense 
related  to  restricted  stock  grants,  which  is  included  in  General  and  Administrative  Expenses,  totaled  $485,881, 
$439,332 and $503,991, respectively.  During 2012, compensation costs included a one-time charge of $123,490 for 
restricted stock grants awarded to one participant who is of retirement age and therefore the entire amount of measured 
compensation cost has been recognized at grant date.

NOTE 7 – 401(k) PLAN 

All full-time employees who are over 21 years old are eligible for the Company’s 401(k) Plan (Plan).  Under 
this Plan, an employee may elect to defer his/her compensation, subject to certain maximum amounts,  and have it 
contributed to the Plan.  Employer contributions to the Plan are at the discretion of the Company.  During 2014, 2013 
and 2012, the Company made matching contributions to the Plan of up to 100% of the first 3% of employee salary 
and 50% of the next 2% of employee salary.  The total expense relating to the Plan, including matching contributions 
amounted to $226,953, $162,304 and $126,224 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER MATTERS 

Transactions with Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation 

There are six Directors of the Company who are also Directors and shareholders of Monmouth Real Estate 
Investment Corporation (MREIC).  The Company holds common stock of MREIC in its securities portfolio.  As of 
December 31, 2014, the Company owns a total of 1,995,809 shares of MREIC common stock, representing 3.5% of 
the total shares outstanding at December 31,  2014 (See Note 4).  The Company shares 1 officer (Chairman of the 
Board) and 2 additional employees (Controller and Director of Investor Relations) with MREIC.  Effective January 
1, 2015, the Company reduced this number to 1 officer (Chairman of the Board) and 1 additional employee (Director 
of Investor Relations).  Allocations of salaries and benefits are based on the amount of the employees’ time dedicated 
to  each  company.   Some  general  and  administrative  expenses,  including  office  rent,  are  allocated  between  the 
Company and MREIC based on use or services provided.  Effective January 2015, MREIC obtained a separate lease 
and office rent is no longer allocated between the Company and MREIC. 

Employment Agreements and Compensation 

The Company has an Employment Agreement with Mr. Eugene W. Landy, Chairman of the Board.  Under 
this agreement, prior to January 1, 2004, Mr. Landy received an annual base compensation of $150,000 (as amended) 
plus bonuses and customary fringe benefits, including health insurance, participation in the Company’s 401(k) Plan, 
stock options, five weeks’ vacation and use of an automobile.  Additionally, there may be bonuses voted by the Board 
of  Directors.    The  Employment  Agreement  is  terminable  by  either  party  at  any  time  subject  to  certain  notice 
requirements.  On severance of employment by the Company, Mr. Landy will receive severance of $450,000, payable 
$150,000 on severance and $150,000 on the first and second anniversaries of severance.  In the event of disability, 
Mr. Landy’s compensation will continue for a period of three years, payable monthly.  On retirement, Mr. Landy will 
receive a pension of $50,000 a year for ten years, payable in monthly installments.  In the event of death, Mr. Landy’s 
designated beneficiary will receive $450,000, $100,000 thirty days after death and the balance one year after death.  
The Employment Agreement automatically renews each year for successive one-year periods.  Effective January 1, 
2004, this agreement was amended to increase Mr. Landy's annual base compensation to $175,000.  Additionally, Mr. 
Landy's pension benefit of $50,000 per year has been extended for an additional three years.  On April 14, 2008, the 
Company executed a Second Amendment to the Employment Agreement with Mr. Landy (the second

amendment).  The second amendment provides that in the event of a change in control, Eugene W. Landy shall receive 
a lump sum payment of $1,200,000, provided the sale price of the Company is at least $16 per share of common stock.  
A change of control shall be defined as the consummation of a reorganization, merger, share exchange, consolidation, 
or sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.  This change of control provision shall 
not apply to any combination between the Company and MREIC.  Payment shall be made simultaneously with the 
closing of the transaction, and only in the event that the transaction closes.  During 2011, Mr. Landy was also awarded 
an Outstanding Leadership Achievement Award in the amount of $250,000 per year for three years.  During 2013, the 
Board  of  Directors  extended  Mr.  Landy’s  pension  benefit  for  an  additional  three  years,  through  2016.    Effective 
October 1, 2014, the Company amended the employment agreement with  Mr. Landy, increasing his base salary to 
$250,000.  

Effective  January  1,  2012,  the  Company  and  Samuel  A.  Landy  entered  into  a  three-year  Employment 
Agreement under which Mr. Samuel Landy receives an annual base salary of $378,000 for 2012, $396,900 for 2013 
and $416,745 for 2014, subject to increases in Funds from Operations (FFO) of 3% per year or 9% over the three-year 
period.  If this increase is not met, the salary increase  will be limited to the increase in the consumer price index.  
Bonuses are based on performance goals relating to FFO, home sales, occupancy and acquisitions, with a maximum 
of 21% of salary.  Mr. Samuel Landy received a restricted stock grant of 25,000 shares in 2012.  In each subsequent 
calendar year of employment pursuant to the Agreement, restricted stock shall be awarded to Mr. Samuel Landy at 
the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Samuel Landy will receive customary 
fringe benefits, four weeks of vacation, reimbursement of reasonable and necessary business expenses and use of an 
automobile.  The Company will reimburse Mr. Samuel Landy for the cost of a disability insurance policy.  In the event 
of  a  merger,  sale  or  change  of  voting  control  of  the  Company,  excluding  transactions  between  the  Company  and 
MREIC, Mr. Samuel Landy will have the right to extend and renew this employment agreement so that the expiration 
date will be three years from the date of merger, sale or change of voting control, or the employee may terminate the 
employment agreement and be entitled to receive one year’s compensation in accordance with the agreement.  If there 
is a termination of employment by the Company for any reason, either involuntary or voluntary, including the death 
of  the  employee,  the  employee  shall  be  entitled  to  the  greater  of  the  salary  due  under  the  remaining  term  of  the 
agreement or one year’s compensation at the date of termination, paid monthly over the remaining term or life of the 
agreement.  Mr. Landy is currently negotiating a new employment agreement. 

Effective  January  1,  2012,  the  Company  and  Anna  T.  Chew  entered  into  a  new  three-year  employment 
agreement,  under  which  Ms.  Chew  receives  an  annual  base  salary  of  $287,385  for  2012,  $301,754  for  2013  and 
$316,841 for 2014, plus bonuses and customary fringe benefits.  Ms. Chew will also receive four weeks of vacation, 
reimbursement of reasonable and necessary business expenses and use of an automobile.  The Company will reimburse 
Ms. Chew for the cost of a disability insurance policy such that, in the event of the employee’s disability for a period 
of  more  than 90 days, the employee  will receive benefits  up to 60% of her then-current  salary.   In the event of a 
merger, sale or change of voting control of the Company, excluding transactions between the Company and MREIC, 
the employee will have the right to extend and renew this employment agreement so that the expiration date will be 
three years from the date of merger, sale or change of voting control, or the employee may terminate the employment 
agreement  and  be  entitled  to  receive  one  year’s  compensation  in  accordance  with  the  agreement.    If  there  is  a 
termination of employment by the Company for any reason, either involuntary or voluntary, including the death of the 
employee, other than a termination for cause as defined by the agreement, the employee shall be entitled to the greater 
of the salary due under the remaining term of the agreement or one year’s compensation at the date of termination, 
paid monthly over the remaining term or life of the agreement.  Ms. Chew is currently negotiating a new employment 
agreement. 

Other Matters 

The  Company  has  an  employment  agreement  with  a  certain  executive  officer,  which  in  addition  to  base 
compensation, bonuses and  fringe benefits, provides for specified retirement benefits.  The Company  has accrued 
these benefits on a present value basis over the terms of the agreements.   Amounts accrued under this agreement were 
$600,000 at both December 31, 2014 and 2013. 

The Company leases its corporate offices where the lessor of the property is owned by certain officers and 
directors of the Company.  The Company is also responsible for its proportionate share of real estate taxes and common 
area maintenance.  On May 1, 2010, the Company renewed this lease for an additional five-year term with monthly 
lease payments of $13,600 through April 30, 2013 and $14,000 through April 30, 2015.  Management believes that 
the aforesaid rent is no more than what the Company would pay for comparable space elsewhere.  Approximately 
70% of the monthly lease payment plus its proportionate share of real estate taxes and common area maintenance was 
-97-

reimbursed by MREIC through 2014.  Effective January 2015, MREIC obtained a separate lease and office rent is no 
longer allocated between the Company and MREIC. 

 NOTE 9 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY  

Common Stock 

The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), as amended.  Under the terms 
of  the  DRIP,  shareholders  who  participate  may  reinvest  all  or  part  of  their  dividends  in  additional  shares  of  the 
Company at a discounted price (approximately 95% of market value) directly from the Company, from authorized but 
unissued shares of the Company common stock.  Shareholders may also purchase additional shares at this discounted 
price by making optional cash payments monthly.  Optional cash payments must be not less than $500 per payment 
nor more than $1,000 unless a request for waiver has been accepted by the Company.    

Amounts received in connection with the DRIP for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were

Preferred Stock 

As  of  December  31,  2014,  the  Company  had  a  total  of  3,663,800  shares  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock 

outstanding representing an aggregate liquidation preference of $91,595,000. 

The annual dividend of the Series A Preferred Stock is $2.0625 per share, or 8.25%, of the $25.00 per share 

liquidation value and is payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15.   

The Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.10, has no maturity and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless 
redeemed or otherwise repurchased.   Except in limited circumstances  relating to the Company’s qualification as a 
REIT, and as described below, the Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to May 26, 2016.  On and after 
May 26, 2016, the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the Company’s option for cash, in whole or, from 
time  to  time,  in  part,  at  a  price  per  share  equal  to  $25.00,  plus  all  accrued  and  unpaid  dividends  (whether  or  not 
declared) to the date of redemption.  

Upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or Change of Control, as defined in the Prospectus of the Preferred 
Offering, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert all or part of the shares of the 
Series A Preferred Stock held, unless the Company elects to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock. 

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except if the Company fails to pay 

dividends for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, or with respect to certain specified events.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities 

On  January  21,  2015,  the  Board  of  Directors  reaffirmed  its  Share  Repurchase  Program  (the  repurchase 
program) that authorizes the Company to purchase up to $10,000,000 in the aggregate of the Company's common 
stock.  The  repurchase  program  was  originally  created  in  June  2008  and  is  intended  to  be  implemented  through 
purchases made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately 
negotiated transactions or block trades, or by any combination of such methods, in accordance with applicable insider 
trading  and  other  securities  laws  and  regulations.  The  size,  scope  and  timing  of  any  purchases  will  be  based  on 
business,  market  and  other  conditions  and  factors,  including  price,  regulatory  and  contractual  requirements  or 
consents, and capital availability. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any particular 
amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the Company's 
discretion without prior notice.  There have been no purchases under the repurchase program to date.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, total distributions paid by the Company for preferred stock, amounted 
to $7,556,588 or $2.0625 per share ($1.66551 taxed as ordinary income and $0.39699 taxed as capital gains).  For the 
year ended December 31, 2013, total distributions paid by the Company for preferred stock, amounted to $7,556,588 
or $2.0625 per share ($1.41816 taxed as ordinary income and $.64434 taxed as capital gains).  For the year ended 
December 31, 2012, total distributions paid by the Company for preferred stock before accrued dividends, amounted 
to $5,068,697 or $2.0625 per share ($0.99966 taxed as ordinary income and $1.06284 taxed as capital gains).   

In addition to the above, taxable income from non-REIT activities conducted by S&F, a TRS, is subject to 
federal, state and local income taxes.  Deferred income taxes pertaining to S&F are accounted for using the asset and 
liability method.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the 
financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit 
carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.  However, 
deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on 
consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other factors.  For the years ended December 
31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, S&F had operating losses for financial reporting purposes of $3,946,571, $2,746,526 and 
$3,081,837,  respectively.    Therefore,  a  valuation  allowance  has  been  established  against  any  deferred  tax  assets 
relating to S&F.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, S&F recorded $15,000, $5,000 and $5,000, 
respectively, in federal, state and franchise taxes. 

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL MATTERS 

The Company is subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business.  Management does not 
believe  that  any  such  claim  or  litigation  will  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  business,  assets,  or  results  of 
operations of the Company. 

In 2010, a rainstorm bringing 13 inches of rain in a two-hour period caused flooding at Memphis Mobile 
City. All homes owned by the Company were fully restored as were the homes of all residents who elected to make 
repairs. On May 9, 2011, the Company was notified that a lawsuit had been filed in the United States District Court 
for the Western District of Tennessee on behalf of a purported class of all individuals of Mexican national origin who 
are current or former residents of Memphis Mobile City. The complaint alleges various claims based on federal and 
state discrimination and consumer protection laws, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The magistrate 
judge  ruled  that  plaintiffs  who  had  signed  a  security  agreement  with  an  arbitration  clause  would  be  obligated  to 
arbitrate while the other plaintiffs would not.  The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss plaintiffs’ amended Complaint 
which plaintiffs opposed.  The District Judge issued a decision granting our motion in part and denying it in part.  This 
litigation is ongoing. The Company continues to believe the action to be without merit.  The Company’s insurance 
company  is  supporting  our  defense  of  this  action.    The  Company  is  working  on  redeveloping  this  property  as  a 
manufactured home community, using fill from adjacent land that we have purchased in order to comply with current 
codes.    The  adjacent  parcel  is  also  slated  for  manufactured  home  development  upon  receipt  of  appropriate 
permits.  The Company has received approval from the  municipality for the first phase of the development and is 
currently obtaining bids for the construction work.   

The Company has entered into definitive agreements to purchase four manufactured home communities with a 
total  of  approximately  623  developed  home  sites.    These  communities  are  located  in  Pennsylvania.     The  aggregate 
purchase price of  these communities totals approximately $12.9 million.  One  acquisition  of  141  home  sites,  with  a 
purchase price of $3,800,000 was completed in January 2015 (See Note 15).  Subject to satisfactory due diligence, we 
anticipate completion of the remaining acquisitions during the first half of 2015.  

In November 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with 21st Mortgage Corporation (21st Mortgage) 
under which 21st Mortgage can provide financing for home purchasers in the Company’s communities.  The Company 
does not receive referral fees or other cash compensation under the agreement.  If 21st Mortgage makes loans to purchasers 
and those purchasers default on their loans and 21st Mortgage repossesses the homes securing such loans, the Company 
has agreed to purchase from 21st Mortgage each such repossessed home for a price equal to 80% to 95% of the amount 
under each such loan, subject to certain adjustments.  This agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days 
written notice. As of December 31, 2014, there were fifty-nine transactions under this agreement with a total original loan 
amount  of  approximately  $3.0  million.   Additionally,  21st  Mortgage  previously  made  loans  to  purchasers  in  certain 
communities  we  acquired.    In  conjunction  with  these  acquisitions,  the  Company  has  agreed  to  purchase  from 
21st Mortgage each repossessed home, if those purchasers default on their loans.  The purchase price ranges from 55% to 
100% of the amount under each such loan, subject to certain adjustments.  As of December 31, 2014, the total loan balance 
was approximately $3.0 million.

In  addition  to  the  Company’s  investment  in  Securities  Available  for  Sale  at  Fair  Value,  the  Company  is 
required to disclose certain information about fair values of its other financial instruments, as defined in ASC 825-10, 
Financial  Instruments.    Estimates  of  fair  value  are  made  at  a  specific  point  in  time,  based  upon,  where  available, 
relevant market prices and information about the financial instrument.  Such estimates do not include any premium or 
discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial 
instrument. All of the Company’s securities available for sale have quoted market prices.  However, for a portion of 
the  Company's  other  financial  instruments,  no  quoted  market  value  exists.    Therefore,  estimates  of  fair  value  are 
necessarily  based  on  a  number  of  significant  assumptions  (many  of  which  involve  events  outside  the  control  of 
management).  Such assumptions include assessments of current economic conditions, perceived risks associated with 
these  financial  instruments  and  their  counterparties,  future  expected  loss  experience  and  other  factors.    Given  the 
uncertainties surrounding these assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only and, therefore, cannot 
be compared to the historical accounting model.  Use of different assumptions or methodologies is likely to result in 
significantly different fair value estimates. 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and notes receivables approximates their current carrying amounts 
since all such items are short-term in nature.  The fair value of securities available for sale is primarily based upon 
quoted market values. The fair value of variable rate mortgages payable and loans payable approximate their current 
carrying amounts since such amounts payable are at approximately a weighted-average current market rate of interest.  
The estimated fair value of fixed rate mortgage notes payable is based on discounting the future cash flows at a year-
end  risk  adjusted  borrowing  rate  currently  available  to  the  Company  for  issuance  of  debt  with  similar  terms  and 
remaining maturities.  These fair value measurements fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  As of December 
31, 2014, the fair and carrying value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $154,848,509 and $152,213,686, 
respectively.   As of December 31, 2013, the fair and carrying  value of  fixed rate  mortgages payable amounted to 
$127,869,529 and $128,553,264, respectively.  When the Company acquires a property, it is required to fair value all 
of the assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and liabilities (See Note 1).  Those fair value measurements 
fall within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

This annual report and Form 10K contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Company 
intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. The words “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “should”, “estimate”, and similar
