AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(unaudited)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Affordable Residential Communities Inc. (the Company or ARC) is a Maryland corporation organized as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust (REIT) for U. S. Federal income tax purposes and is engaged in the acquisition, renovation, repositioning and operation of primarily all-age manufactured home communities, the retail sale and financing of manufactured homes, the rental of manufactured homes and other related businesses including acting as agent in the sale of homeowners insurance and related products, all exclusively to residents and prospective residents of our communities. We were organized in July 1998 and operate primarily through Affordable Residential Communities LP (the Operating Partnership or OP) and its subsidiaries, of which we are the sole general partner and owned 94.8% as of June 30, 2005.
On February 18, 2004, we completed an initial public offering (IPO) of approximately 22.3 million shares of our common stock at $19.00 per share (excluding approximately 2.3 million shares sold by selling stockholders) and 5.0 million shares of our preferred stock priced at $25.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from our IPO of common stock and preferred stock were $517.5 million before expenses. On March 17, 2004, we issued 791,592 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters exercise of their over-allotment option generating net proceeds to the Company of $14.0 million. In conjunction with the IPO, we also completed a financing transaction consisting of $500.0 million of new mortgage debt and the repayment of certain existing indebtedness (see Note 2).
Concurrent with our IPO and the financing transaction noted above, we acquired 90 manufactured home communities from Hometown America, L.L.C. (Hometown). The 90 acquired communities are located in 24 states and totaled 26,406 homesites. The total purchase price for these communities and related assets was approximately $615.3 million including assumed indebtedness with a fair value of $93.1 million. See Note 2 for a discussion of the Companys significant 2004 acquisitions.
As of June 30, 2005, we owned and operated 315 communities (net of one community classified as discontinued operations, see Note 10) consisting of 62,942 homesites (net of 126 homesites classified as discontinued operations) in 27 states with occupancy of 84.5%. Our five largest markets are Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, with 11.5% of our total homesites; Atlanta, Georgia, with 7.9% of our total homesites; Salt Lake City, Utah, with 6.0% of our total homesites; the Front Range of Colorado, with 5.2% of our total homesites; and Kansas City-Lawrence-Topeka, with 3.9% of our total homesites. We also conduct a retail home sales business.
Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ARC. Our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ARC-PA. We have no public trading history prior to February 12, 2004.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts.
The interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of our accounts, which include the results of operations of the manufactured home communities acquired only for the periods subsequent to the date of acquisition. We have eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Rental and Other Property
We carry rental property at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize significant renovations and improvements that substantially improve asset quality and/or extend the useful life of assets and depreciate them over their estimated remaining useful lives. We expense maintenance and repairs as incurred.
Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the various classes of rental property assets are as follows:
Asset Class
Estimated UsefulLives (Years)
Manufactured home communities and improvements
10 to 30
Buildings
10 to 20
Rental homes
Furniture and other equipment
Computer software and hardware
We evaluate the recoverability of our investment in rental property whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the net book value of the asset is questionable. Our assessment of the recoverability of rental property includes, but is not limited to, recent operating results and expected net operating cash flows from future operations. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of rental property may be impaired, we perform an evaluation of recoverability in which we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the assets carrying amount to determine if an impairment adjustment is required. If this review indicates that the assets carrying amount will not be fully recoverable, we will reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. We recorded no impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
Effective January 1, 2005, we changed our estimate of the depreciable life of our rental homes from 10 years to 3 years. Homes in our rental home portfolio will now be depreciated over 3 years of service to an estimated salvage value of 70%. This change was made to align the depreciable lives of our rental homes to our intent to sell homes from our rental home portfolio after a 3 year period to reduce the costs of repairs and maintenance. This change in estimate did not have a material impact on our financial positions, results of operations or cash flows.
7
Revenue Recognition
We recognize rental income on homesites and homes when earned and due from residents. Leases entered into by tenants for the rental of a site are generally month-to-month and are renewable by mutual agreement of the resident and us or, in some cases, as provided by statute. Leases entered into by home renters are generally one year in duration and are renewable by mutual agreement between the home renter and us. We defer rent received in advance and recognize it in income when earned. On lease with option to purchase contracts, we defer recognition of all down-payments, supplemental lease payments and sales commissions until the point of sale, which generally is at the end of the lease term.
We recognize revenues from manufactured home sales when we receive the down payment, the buyer arranges financing, we transfer title, possession and other attributes of ownership to the buyer, and we have no further obligations to perform significant additional activities.
Restricted Stock Grants
We have included a charge of $10.1 million in general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004, representing the value of 530,000 shares of common stock that were granted on February 18, 2004 under our 2003 equity incentive plan and vested on the date of grant. We valued the shares at $19.00 per share, the price at which we sold shares in the IPO (see Note 2). In addition, during 2004 we granted 95,000 shares of restricted common stock that vest over five years. In June 2004, 42,500 of these restricted shares were forfeited and in October 2004, an additional 37,500 shares of restricted stock were forfeited pursuant to the terms of their issuance. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, 3,000 of these shares vested. In April 2005, the ARC board of directors approved an award of 80,000 shares of common stock to Scott D. Jackson, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, under the Companys 2003 equity incentive plan. The shares granted will vest over three years with 20,000 shares vesting immediately and 20,000 shares vesting on each of the anniversary dates until April 29, 2008. Vesting is subject to Mr. Jacksons continued employment with the Company and may be accelerated in the event of death, a change in control, or termination other than for cause. Vested shares may not be sold by Mr. Jackson until the first anniversary date of vesting without the prior written consent of the Compensation Committee. All shares, vested and unvested, are entitled to receive dividends and to vote unless forfeited.
We have recorded the unvested portion of the 72,000 outstanding restricted shares as of June 30, 2005 as unearned compensation on the balance sheet and are amortizing the balance ratably over the vesting period. We recorded compensation expense related to restricted shares of $312,000 and $326,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to $90,000 and $135,000 during the same periods in 2004.
We consider the number of vested shares issued under our 2003 equity incentive plan as common stock outstanding and include them in the denominator of our calculation of basic earnings per share. We also consider the total number of restricted shares granted under our 2003 equity incentive plan in the denominator of our calculation of diluted earnings per share if they are dilutive. We return shares forfeited to the 2003 equity incentive plan as shares eligible for future grant and adjust any compensation expense previously recorded on such shares in the period the forfeiture occurs.
Interest and Internal Cost Capitalization
We capitalize our interest costs (using our average cost of borrowings) and internal costs (using actual time spent and related costs) on development of long-lived assets from the date we begin substantive activities through the date we place such assets into service in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34, Capitalization of Interestand SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, respectively. The long-lived assets on which we capitalize interest include general construction activities in our communities, manufactured homes and, in
8
the case of the communities acquired, the cost of the vacant homesites we acquired on which we are making improvements and placing a manufactured home for rent or sale. We capitalized interest and internal costs of $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $1.8 million capitalized during the same periods in 2004.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and Comprehensive Loss
Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2005 represent unrecognized gains on our interest rate swap, which qualifies as a cash flow hedge and will be marked to market over the life of the instrument. Including these unrecognized gains or losses, our comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $18.5 million and $34.1 million, respectively, compared with a comprehensive loss of $5.3 million and $40.8 million during the same periods in 2004.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
2. IPO and Acquisitions
IPO and Hometown Acquisition
On February 18, 2004, we completed our IPO of approximately 22.3 million shares of our common stock at $19.00 per share (excluding approximately 2.3 million shares sold by selling stockholders) and 5.0 million shares of our preferred stock priced at $25.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from our IPO of common stock and preferred stock were $517.5 million before expenses. On March 17, 2004, we issued 791,592 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters exercise of their over-allotment option generating net proceeds to the Company of $14.0 million. Concurrent with the IPO, we also completed the refinancing of $240.0 million of our mortgage debt and raised an additional $260.0 million of new mortgage debt. The new mortgage debt at the time of the IPO consisted of $215.3 million of 10 year fixed rate debt with an interest rate of 5.53%, $100.7 million of 5-year fixed rate debt with an interest rate of 5.05% and $184.0 million of floating rate debt. Proceeds from the IPO and new debt were used to purchase the Hometown communities, repay our Rental Home Credit Facility and redeem the Preferred Interest issued by one of our subsidiaries (see Note 6 to the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed on Form 10-K).
On February 18, 2004 and subsequent dates thereafter, we acquired 90 manufactured home communities from Hometown. The 90 acquired communities are located in 24 states and include 26,406 homesites. The total purchase price for all the communities we acquired consisted of the following (in thousands):

D. A. M. Portfolio Acquisition
On June 30, 2004, we acquired 36 manufactured home communities from D.A.M. MASTER ENTITY, L.P. The communities are located in 3 states and include 3,573 homesites. The total purchase price (including the costs of manufactured homes) was approximately $65.5 million, including assumed indebtedness with a fair value of $29.7 million. In addition to cash and the assumption of debt, this acquisition was funded through the issuance of Series B, C and D Partnership Preferred Units (PPUs), for proceeds totaling $33.1 million. All of the D series PPUs totaling $8.0 million were redeemed for cash on July 6, 2004. See Note 3 for further discussion of the PPUs.

Other Acquisitions
During the period from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, in addition to the Hometown and D.A.M. portfolio acquisitions, we acquired six manufactured home communities from unaffiliated third parties for approximately $16.5 million in cash and $3.8 million in assumed debt. We accounted for these acquisitions utilizing the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, have allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of their acquisition. We allocated the majority of the purchase price to the rental property and intangible assets, including customer relationships and leases intangibles. No acquisitions were made in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
We have not presented pro-forma results of operations for the three or six months ended June 30, 2004 as if these other acquisitions were made on the first day of 2004, as the effects of these other acquisitions are not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for this period.

On March 16, 2005, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.3125 per share of common stock. We paid the total common stock dividend of $12.8 million on April 15, 2005 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2005. Also on March 16, 2005, we declared a dividend of $0.5156 on each share of our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. We paid the total preferred stock dividend of $2.6 million on April 29, 2005 to shareholders of record on April 15, 2005.

On May 23, 2005, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1875 per share of common stock. We paid the total common stock dividend of $7.7 million on July 15, 2005 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2005. Also on May 23, 2005, we declared a dividend of $0.5156 on each share of our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. We paid the total preferred stock dividend of $2.6 million on July 29, 2005 to shareholders of record on July 15, 2005.
At June 30, 2005, minority interest consisted of 2,261,451 OP Units that were issued to various limited partners and 1,005,688 PPUs issued on June 30, 2004 as part of the D.A.M. portfolio acquisition. Each OP Unit outstanding is paired with 1.9268 shares of our special voting stock (each a Paired Equity Unit) that allows each holder to vote an OP Unit on matters as if it were a common share of our stock. Each OP Unit is redeemable for cash, or at our election, one share of our common stock. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company redeemed for cash approximately 142,000 OP Units totaling approximately $1.8 million.
The PPUs outstanding as of June 30, 2005 consist of 300,000 Series B units and 705,688 Series C units. The Series B PPUs carry a liquidation preference of $25 per unit and earn cash distributions at the rate of 6.25% per annum, payable quarterly. The Series B PPUs can be redeemed at the option of the Operating Partnership for common stock, cash and/or notes payable after the fifth anniversary of their issuance. In July 2005, according to the terms of the Series B PPUs, the Series B PPU holders requested redemption of their units, and the Operating Partnership elected to repurchase them for approximately $2.5 million in cash and notes payable totaling approximately $5.0 million. As of June 30, 2005, we have accrued $78,125 of the Series B PPU preferred distribution, representing the portion of the preferred distribution earned by Series B preferred unitholders through that date.
The Series C PPUs carry a liquidation preference of $25 per unit and earn cash distributions at the rate of 6.25% per annum, payable quarterly. The Series C PPUs can be redeemed at the option of the Operating Partnership for cash after the fifth anniversary of their issuance. Series C PPU holders can request redemption of their units after the two and a half year anniversary of issuance, at which time the Operating Partnership must redeem the PPUs or repurchase them with common stock, cash and/or a note payable, at the Operating Partnerships option. Series B and C units have the same priority as to the payment of distributions. As of June 30, 2005, we had accrued $183,773 of the Series C PPU preferred distribution, representing the portion of the preferred distribution earned by Series C preferred unitholders through that date.
We have recorded an equity transfer adjustment between additional paid-in capital and the minority interest in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 to account for changes in the respective ownership in the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership.

It is an obligation of certain real property subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and is collateralized by 44 manufactured home communities owned by these subsidiaries. The Senior Variable Rate Mortgage due 2006 bears interest at a variable rate based upon a spread of 3.00% over the one-month LIBOR (6.22% at June 30, 2005) and will mature in February 2006. At our option and subject to certain conditions, we may extend the Senior Variable Rate Mortgage due 2006 for three additional 12-month periods. In connection with the second and third extensions, we would be required to pay extension fees of 0.25% and 0.375% of the outstanding principal balance, respectively. We purchased interest rate caps to limit our interest costs in the event of increases in the one-month LIBOR above 5.00%, and intend to purchase such caps for any extensions, as applicable. We will incur an exit fee equal to 0.50% of the loan amount payable upon any repayment of the principal amount of the loan.

Various Individual Fixed Rate Mortgages Due 2005 Through 2031
We have assumed various individual fixed rate mortgages in connection with the acquisition of various properties that were encumbered at the time of acquisition . We have refinanced one property and expect to refinance additional properties over time. The mortgages are secured by specific manufactured home communities and are subject to early pre-payment penalties, the terms of which vary from mortgage to mortgage. The mortgages are as follows:
a) Mortgages assumed and one refinanced as part of individual property purchases. These notes total approximately $46.7 million at June 30, 2005, mature from 2006 through 2028 and have an average effective annual interest rate of 7.25%.

c) Notes assumed in conjunction with the D.A.M. portfolio purchase. These notes total approximately $29.0 million at June 30, 2005, mature in 2008 and carry an average effective annual interest rate of 7.18%.
Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility
In September 2004, we obtained a Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility for borrowings of up to $85.0 million. This facility is an obligation of a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and is secured by 33 communities that previously secured the cancelled Senior Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 6 to the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed on Form 10-K), as well as various additional communities acquired subsequent to our IPO. Advances under the Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility are limited by borrowing base requirements related to the value and cash flows of the communities securing the loan. The Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility bears interest at the one month LIBOR plus 2.95% (6.17% at June 30, 2005) and has a term of one year. We incurred a commitment fee of 0.5% at the closing of the facility and will pay origination fees of 0.5% with each advance. The facility contains no significant financial covenants.
Trust Preferred Securities Due 2035
On March 15, 2005, the Company issued $25.8 million in unsecured trust preferred securities. The $25.8 million trust preferred securities bear interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 3.25% (6.26% at June 30, 2005). Interest on the securities is paid on the 30th of March, June, September and December of each year. The Company may redeem these securities on or after March 30, 2010 in whole or in part from time to time at principal amount plus accrued interest. The securities are mandatorily redeemable on March 15, 2035 if not redeemed sooner.
Consumer Finance Facility
We entered into the Retail Home Sales and Consumer Finance Debt Facility (the Consumer Finance Facility) on February 18, 2004, in connection with the completion of our IPO and the Hometown acquisition and amended it in April 2005 in connection with entering into a two-year, $75.0 million secured revolving lease receivables credit facility (see Lease Receivables Facility below). The Consumer Finance Facility, as amended, has a total commitment of $125.0 million and a term of four years. This facility is an obligation of a subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, and borrowings under this facility are secured by manufactured housing conditional sales contracts. Borrowings under the facility are limited by specified borrowing base requirements related to the value of the collateral securing the facility. The facility bears interest at a variable rate based upon a spread of 3.00% over the one-month LIBOR (6.18% at June 30,
2005). The facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including minimum GAAP tangible net worth and maximum leverage covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants under the facility as of June 30, 2005. During the quarter, we paid a commitment fee of 1.00% on the original committed amount and 0.75% of the amended committed amount and will pay additional annual commitment fees payable on each anniversary of the closing. Advances under the facility will be subject to a number of conditions, including certain underwriting and credit screening guidelines and the conditions that the home must be located in one of our communities, the loan term may not exceed 12 years for a single-section home or 15 years for a multi-section home and the loan amount shall not exceed 90% of the value of the home securing the conditional sales contract.
The availability of advances under the Consumer Finance Facility is subject to certain conditions that are beyond our control. Conditions that could result in our inability to draw on these facilities include a downgrade in the credit rating of the lender and the absence of certain markets for financing debt obligations secured by securities or mortgage loans. Funding under this facility may also be denied if the lender determines that the value of the assets serving as collateral would be insufficient to maintain the required 75% loan-to-value ratio upon giving effect to a request for funding. The lender can also at any time require that we prepay amounts funded or provide additional collateral if, in its judgment, this is necessary to maintain the 75% loan-to-value ratio.
Lease Receivables Facility
On April 6, 2005, the Company entered into a two-year, $75.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the Lease Receivables Facility) with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital Inc. to be used to finance the purchase of manufactured homes and for general corporate purposes.
Borrowings under the Lease Receivables Facility are secured by an assignment of all lease receivables and rents, an assignment of the underlying manufactured homes and a pledge by ARCHC LLC and ARC Housing GP LLC of 100% of the outstanding equity in ARC Housing LLC and ARC HousingTX LP (collectively, Housing), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Affordable Residential Communities LP. Borrowings under the Lease Receivables Facility will bear interest at the one-month LIBOR plus 7.00% (10.22% at June 30, 2005), decreasing to one-month LIBOR plus 3.25% after July 31, 2005, provided Housing meets certain quarterly performance targets. Interest is payable monthly.
Borrowings under the Lease Receivables Facility are limited to an amount equal to approximately 55% of the net book value of the eligible manufactured housing units owned by Housing and their associated setup costs and located in ARCs communities, subject to applicable borrowing base requirements. The maximum amount available under the Lease Facility will decrease by $3.0 million per quarter commencing July 1, 2005 until maturity in March 2007.
Floorplan Lines of Credit
In August 2004, we amended our floorplan line of credit to provide borrowings of up to $50.0 million secured by manufactured homes in inventory. Under the amended line of credit, the lender will advance 90% of the purchase cost of manufactured homes for the first $40.0 million in advances, with the remaining $10.0 million in advances made at 75% of such home costs. Repayments of borrowed amounts are due upon sale or lease of the related manufactured home. Advances under the amended line of credit will bear interest ranging from the prime rate plus 0.75% to the prime rate plus 4.00% (averaging 6.59% at June 30, 2005) based on the length of time each advance has been outstanding. Monthly curtailment payments are required for unsold homes beginning 360 days following the purchase of the home. The required curtailment payment will be between 3.00% and 5.00% of the homes original invoice amount depending on the type of home and the number of months since the homes purchase. The amended line of credit requires the Operating Partnership to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $500.0 million, a
19
maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 3 to 1, and minimum cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million, all as defined in the agreement. We are in compliance with all financial covenants under the line of credit as of June 30, 2005. The line of credit is subject to a commitment fee of $250,000, an unused line fee of .25% per annum and an early termination fee of 1.00% to 3.00%, based on the termination date.

10. Discontinued Operations
In July 2004, we entered into a real estate auction agreement to sell 12 communities comprising 2,933 homesites. In addition to the 12 communities, as part of the auction, the Company also contracted to sell two parcels of undeveloped commercial land located adjacent to one of its communities in Colorado. The auction was held in September 2004. These sales, other than the sale of one of the 12 properties, closed during the fourth quarter of 2004, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $21.6 million after selling commissions, sales expenses and the repayment of approximately $6.0 million of associated debt. The remaining community continues to be held for sale and was classified as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005, based on the Companys intent to sell this community during 2005.
In September 2004, we entered into an agreement to sell three communities, comprising 1,073 homesites, to an unaffiliated third party for a total sales price of approximately $5.9 million. These sales closed during the fourth quarter of 2004.
In October 2004, we entered into a real estate auction agreement to sell 12 communities comprising 2,440 homesites. The auction was held in December 2004. Eleven of these 12 sales closed during the first quarter of 2005, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $12.4 million after selling commissions, sales expenses and the repayment of approximately $28.9 million of associated debt included in liabilities related to assets held for sale, and other required debt payments. The remaining community was sold in April 2005. Also in October 2004, we entered into agreements to sell three communities comprising 709 homesites to unaffiliated third parties for a total sales price of approximately $7.9 million. These sales closed during the fourth quarter of 2004.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, each of the communities sold during 2005 and 2004 have been classified as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. We have included $3.4 million and $54.1 million of net assets related to these communities as assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. We have also included $2.7 million and $29.5 million of obligations related to these communities as liabilities related to assets held for sale in the accompanying balance sheets as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In addition, we have presented the operations of each of these communities as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and recorded income of $0.1 million and a loss of $0.7 million, respectively, related to the sale of the discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

GENERAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed equity REIT focused on the acquisition, renovation, repositioning and operation of primarily all-age manufactured home communities. We also conduct certain complementary business activities focused on improving and maintaining occupancy in our communities, including the rental of manufactured homes, the retail sale of manufactured homes, the financing of sales of manufactured homes and acting as agent in the sale of homeowners insurance and other related insurance products. We conduct substantially all of our activities through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner and in which we hold a 94.8% ownership interest.
Beginning in 1995, our co-founders founded several companies under the name Affordable Residential Communities or ARC for the purpose of engaging in the business of acquiring, renovating, repositioning and operating manufactured home communities, as well as certain related businesses. We were formed in July 1998 as a Maryland corporation for the purpose of acting as the investment vehicle for and a co-general partner of our Operating Partnership, the fourth real property partnership organized and operated by our co-founders. In May 2002, we completed a reorganization in which we acquired substantially all the other real property partnerships and other related businesses organized and operated by our co-founders.
On February 18, 2004, we completed our IPO. We issued approximately 24.5 million shares of common stock at $19.00 per share in which selling shareholders offered approximately 2.3 million shares. On March 18, 2004, our underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 791,592 shares of common stock at $19.00 per share. Concurrent with the IPO, we raised $125.0 million of gross proceeds through the issuance of 5.0 million shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.
In connection with the IPO we completed the following additional transactions:
· The acquisition of 90 communities from Hometown America for approximately $615.3 million comprising 26,406 homesites. This includes eleven communities acquired post-closing upon the completion of the loan assumption process, with the final three loan assumptions completed on April 9, 2004.
· A financing transaction totaling $500.0 million comprising of $215.3 million of 10 year fixed rate mortgage debt with an interest rate of 5.53%, $100.7 million of 5 year fixed rate mortgage debt with an interest rate of 5.05% and $184.0 million of 2 year floating rate mortgage debt. We used the proceeds to repay certain indebtedness and to fund a portion of the Hometown acquisition.
· The closing of a $250.0 million finance facility to support our in-community home sales and finance programs. The facility consists of two funding components: (1) a $225.0 million four-year facility to fund consumer loans and (2) a commitment for a $25.0 million facility to fund for-sale home inventory. This facility subsequently was amended to reduce the commitment to a total of $200.0 million including a lease receivables line of credit (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).
On June 30, 2004, we acquired 36 manufactured home communities from the D.A.M. MASTER ENTITY, L.P. The communities are located in 3 states and include 3,573 homesites. The total purchase price (including the costs of manufactured homes) was approximately $65.5 million including assumed indebtedness with a fair value of $29.7 million.
In August 2004 we cancelled our $125.0 million Senior Revolving Credit Facility and incurred approximately $3.3 million in debt extinguishment costs. In September 2004, we obtained our Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility for borrowings of up to $85.0 million. This facility is an obligation of a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and is secured by 33 communities that previously secured the cancelled Senior Revolving Credit Facility, as well as various additional communities acquired subsequent to our
27
IPO. Advances under the Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility are limited by borrowing base requirements related to the value and cash flows of the communities securing the loan. The Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility bears interest at the one month LIBOR plus 2.95% (6.17% at June 30, 2005) and has an initial term of one year. We incurred a commitment fee of 0.5% at the closing of the facility and will pay origination fees of 0.5% with each advance. The facility contains no significant financial covenants.
In August 2004, we amended our floorplan lines of credit to provide borrowings of up to $50.0 million, secured by manufactured homes in inventory. Under the amended lines of credit, the lender will advance 90% of the purchase cost of manufactured homes for the first $40.0 million in advances, with the remaining $10.0 million in advances made at 75% of home costs. Repayments of borrowed amounts are due upon sale or lease of the related manufactured home. Advances under the amended lines of credit will bear interest ranging from the prime rate plus 0.75% to the prime rate plus 4.00% (averaging 6.59% June 30, 2005) based on the length of time each advance has been outstanding. Monthly curtailment payments are required for unsold homes beginning 360 days following the purchase of the home. The required curtailment payment will be between 3.00% and 5.00% of the homes original invoice amount depending on the type of home and the number of months since the homes purchase. The amended lines of credit require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $500.0 million, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 3 to 1, and minimum cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million, all as defined in the agreement. We are in compliance with all financial covenants of the lines of credit as of June 30, 2005. The lines of credit are subject to a commitment fee of $250,000, an unused line fee of .25% per annum and a termination fee of 1.00% to 3.00%, based on the termination date.
In July, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the Western Mobile Estates manufactured home community located in West Valley City, Utah, comprising 145 homesites. The total purchase price of $3.8 million included $3.76 million in seller financing. In September, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the Willow Creek Estates manufactured home community located in Ogden, Utah, comprising 137 homesites for a total cash purchase price of $3.2 million.
Also in July 2004, we entered into a real estate auction agreement to sell 12 communities comprising 2,933 homesites. In addition to the 12 communities, as part of the auction, the Company also contracted to sell two parcels of undeveloped commercial land located adjacent to one of its communities in Colorado. The auction was held in September 2004. These sales, other than the sale of one of the 12 properties, closed during the fourth quarter of 2004, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $21.6 million after selling commissions, sales expenses and the repayment of approximately $6.0 million of associated debt. The remaining community continues to be held for sale and was classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2005 based on the Companys intent to sell this community during 2005.
In October 2004, we entered into a real estate auction agreement to sell 12 communities comprising 2,440 homesites. The auction was held in December 2004. Eleven of these 12 sales closed during the first quarter of 2005, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $12.4 million after selling commissions, sales expenses and the repayment of approximately $28.9 million of associated debt included in liabilities related to assets held for sale, and other required debt payments. The remaining community was classified as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, and was sold in April 2005. Also in October 2004, we entered into agreements to sell three communities comprising 709 homesites to unaffiliated third parties for a total sales price of approximately $7.9 million. These sales closed during the fourth quarter of 2004.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, net loss available to common stockholders was $18.2 million and $34.1 million, or $0.45 per share and $0.83 per share, respectively, as compared to net losses attributable to common stockholders of $7.1 million and $42.1 million, or $0.17 per share and $1.20 per share for the same periods in 2004. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, funds from operations available to common stockholders (FFO) was $0.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as compared to FFO of $9.3 million and ($12.4) million for the same periods in 2004. Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflect the inclusion of one-time charges of $27.9 million related to our IPO, acquisition of certain assets from Hometown America LLC and the repayment of certain indebtedness. On a same community basis, revenue in our real estate segment of $35.5 million and $71.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, was comparable to real estate segment revenue of $35.6 million and $70.9 million for the same periods in 2004. Same community expenses increased 5.2% and 8.4% to $15.2 million and $30.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004. As a result, real estate net segment income from same communities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased 4.3% and 5.2% to $20.3 million and $40.7 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2004. See FFO and Real Estate Net Segment Income included hereinafter in this section for definitions of FFO and real estate net segment income and for reconciliations of real estate net segment income to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Total portfolio occupancy averaged 82.8% and 82.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 83.2% and 83.8% for the same periods in 2004. Occupancy was 84.5% and 83.0% as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Average same community occupancy was 83.7% and 83.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 84.6% and 85.0% for the same periods in 2004. The decreases mainly are due to lenders moving repossessed homes out of the communities, the lack of available chattel financing for manufactured home buyers, our decision to position our inventory to facilitate conversion of renters to long-term owner residents by holding for sale homes coming off lease, and, in the case of the total portfolio occupancy, the Hometown acquisition.
Net occupancy increased by 874 residents during the second quarter of 2005, or 1.4%, as compared to an increase of 380 residents in the first quarter. In addition, the Company removed a net 716 lots from its total homesite count in the second quarter of 2005 as part of an ongoing review of operations. This had the further effect of increasing occupancy by 1.0% at the end of the second quarter of 2005, as compared to the end of the first quarter. The net reduction of 716 lots is comprised of the following: (a) 502 lots that were determined to be unsuitable for use, (b) 283 lots that have been reclassified as lots held for future development, and (c) 69 lots that were added. Of the net 716 lots removed from the homesite count, 175 were in the Companys top ten markets. As a result of both the resident increase (accounting for a 1.4% increase in occupancy) and the total homesite reduction (accounting for a 1.0% increase in occupancy), total portfolio occupancy at the end of second quarter of 2005 increased 2.4% to 84.5% from 82.1% at the end of the first quarter.

On June 30, 2005, our total manufactured homes owned was 8,718 homes. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, we increased sales of older homes primarily through our in-community sales operations in which we focused on affordable price points, increased marketing and training of our employees. We expect increased sales and leasing activity in the coming months due to our continued focus on affordable price points, marketing and training of our employees, and the availability of chattel financing through our consumer finance program. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, we sold 989 and 1,763 manufactured homes, respectively, from our home inventory, compared with 100 and 115 for the same periods in 2004.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND OPERATING STRATEGIES
We continue to believe our industry needs to re-address its fundamental competitive advantageaffordability. We believe that we can provide a clean, attractive and affordable place to live that is competitive with other forms of housing, provides real value and service to our residents and generates profits for our investors. To that end, we have built a business plan that provides affordability and value in the home, in the financing and in our communities. We continue to focus on (i) our in-community sales program, (ii) our consumer finance program and (iii) completing the integration of the Hometown acquisition in terms of human resources, capital expenditures and information systems.
With respect to our occupancy programs, our primary tools are (i) our rental home program, including our lease with option to purchase program, (ii) our for-sale inventory and (iii) our consumer finance program. Our focus is to utilize our community managers, leasing managers and district level marketing managers to make (i) cash sales of vacant used homes, used rental homes coming off lease and newly purchased repossessions, (ii) home leases with option to purchase, and (iii) standard home leases. Through Enspire Finance LLC, our finance subsidiary, and our in-community sales, we are focusing on the sale of new and used homes at prices greater than $15,000.
With respect to property management, we expanded our district management infrastructure from seven districts to twelve districts in 2004 to reflect the increase of approximately 30,000 homesites to our overall portfolio. Our integration priorities for the portfolio include human resources, training, IT systems and capital expenditure projects. We upgraded virtually all of the community managers from the acquired Hometown communities, causing delays in driving our occupancy programs in 2004.
THE PROPERTIES
As of June 30, 2005, our portfolio consisted of 315 manufactured home communities (net of one community classified as discontinued operations, see Note 10 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements) comprising 62,942 homesites located in 27 states and 67 markets, primarily oriented toward all-age living. Our five largest markets are Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, with 11.5% of our total homesites; Atlanta, Georgia, with 7.9% of our total homesites; Salt Lake City, Utah, with 6.0% of our total homesites; the Front Range of Colorado, with 5.2% of our total homesites; and Kansas City-Lawrence-Topeka, Kansas, with 3.9% of our total homesites.
As of June 30, 2005, our communities had an occupancy rate of 84.5%, and the average monthly rental income per occupied homesite was $326. Homesite leases by homeowners generally are month-to-month, or in limited cases year-to-year, and require security deposits. In the case of our residents renting homes from us, lease terms are typically one year, and require a security deposit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
Overview. Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2005 include the operations of communities acquired in the Hometown, D.A.M. and other 2004 acquisitions for a full quarter, whereas our results for the three months ended June 30, 2004 include the operations of the Hometown communities but not the D.A.M. acquisition.
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $75.6 million, as compared to $55.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $20.5 million, or 37%. Rental income increased by $3.5 million, primarily due to $3.8 million from 2004 acquisitions partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease from same communities. The decrease in same communities revenues primarily is due to $1.2 million from lower occupancy partially offset by $0.7 million from increased rental rates and $0.2 million from higher home renter rental income. Revenue from the sale of manufactured homes increased by $16.2 million as the Company sold 889 more homes than in the second quarter of 2004, and a greater percentage of these sales were new homes sold at higher average selling prices. Utility and other income increased by $0.7 million due to our 2004 acquisitions and improved recovery of utilities from residents.
Property Operations Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, total property operations expense was $20.0 million, as compared to $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.4 million, or 14%. The increase primarily is due to additional expense of $1.8 million from 2004 acquisitions and an increase of $0.6 million in expenses in same communities. The increase in property operations expense from same communities primarily is due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $1.0 million, or 29%, partially offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance expense of $0.2 million and a decrease in utilities expense of $0.1 million.
Real Estate Taxes Expense. Real estate taxes expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $4.4 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $0.3 million or 8%. The increase is due primarily to our 2004 acquisitions.
Cost of Manufactured Homes Sold. The cost of manufactured homes sold was $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $14.4 million. The increase primarily was due to the increase in sales of manufactured homes by 889 units as discussed above.
Retail Home Sales, Finance and Insurance. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, total retail home sales, finance, insurance and other operations expense was $4.1 million as compared to $1.5 million for three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.6 million. This increase is due to the increase in manufactured homes sold and the costs associated with creating the community based sales and finance organization. The increase is partially offset by the elimination of the costs of maintaining stand-alone retail stores.
Property Management Expense. Property management expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $2.5 million, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $0.9 million, or 56%. The increase primarily is due to the expansion in 2004 from seven to twelve district offices in 2004 and the related staffing costs for the new districts in connection with the 2004 acquisitions and the resultant increase in our community portfolio.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $6.3 million, as compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.0 million, or 45%. The increase primarily was due to increased salaries and benefits resulting from the Companys acquisition growth, as well as consulting costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
38
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $22.2 million, as compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $5.0 million, or 29%. The increase primarily is due to increased depreciation on communities acquired in our 2004 acquisitions.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $16.5 million, as compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $3.8 million, or 30%. The increase is due to a higher outstanding average debt balance of approximately $178 million, as well as higher effective weighted average interest rates on our variable rate debt.
Minority Interest. Minority interest for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.6 million as compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $0.1 million, or 37%. The increase primarily was due to the minority interest share of our increase in loss before allocation to minority interest partially offset by a decrease in minority interest share of net loss to 5.2% for the second quarter of 2005 from 5.6% for the second quarter of 2004.
Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders. As a result of the foregoing, our net loss available to common stockholders was $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $11.1 million or 155%.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Overview. Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 include the operations of communities acquired in the Hometown, D.A.M. and other 2004 acquisitions for a full six-month period, whereas our results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 include the operations of the Hometown communities from the date of acquisition, February 18, 2004, through June 30, 2004, but not the D.A.M. acquisition.
Revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $140.2 million, as compared to $98.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $42.1 million, or 43%. Rental income increased by $16.0 million, primarily due to $16.4 million from 2004 acquisitions partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease from same communities. The decrease in same communities revenues primarily is due to $2.7 million from lower occupancy partially offset by $1.4 million from increased rental rates and $0.9 million from higher home renter rental income. Revenue from the sale of manufactured homes increased by $23.5 million as the Company sold 1,648 more homes than in the first six months of 2004, and a greater percentage of these sales were new homes sold at higher average selling prices. Utility and other income increased by $2.4 million due to our 2004 acquisitions and improved recovery of utilities from residents.
Property Operations Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, total property operations expense was $40.4 million, as compared to $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $10.2 million, or 34%. The increase primarily is due to additional expense of $8.1 million from 2004 acquisitions and an increase of $2.1 million in expenses in same communities. The increase in property operations expense from same communities primarily is due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $1.8 million, or 27%, an increase in utilities expense of $0.2 million and an increase in insurance expense of $0.1 million.
Real Estate Taxes Expense. Real estate taxes expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $8.7 million, as compared to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.3 million or 18%. The increase is due primarily to our 2004 acquisitions.
Cost of Manufactured Homes Sold. The cost of manufactured homes sold was $24.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $22.0 million. The increase primarily was due to the increase in sales of manufactured homes.
The increase primarily was due to the increase in sales of manufactured homes by 1,648 units as discussed above.
Retail Home Sales, Finance and Insurance. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, total retail home sales, finance, insurance and other operations expense was $7.3 million as compared to $2.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $5.2 million. This increase is due to the increase in manufactured homes sold and the costs associated with creating the community based sales and finance organization. The increase is partially offset by the elimination of the costs of maintaining stand-alone retail stores.
Property Management Expense. Property management expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $4.8 million, as compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.7 million, or 56%. The increase primarily is due to the expansion in 2004 from seven to twelve district offices in 2004 and the related staffing costs for the new districts in connection with the 2004 acquisitions and the resultant increase in our community portfolio.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $11.6 million, as compared to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 39%. The decrease primarily was due to a non-recurring $10.1 million expense incurred in the 2004 first quarter in conjunction with the IPO in which we granted 530,000 shares of restricted stock that vested immediately. The decrease partially was offset by increased salaries and benefits resulting from the Companys acquisition growth, as well as consulting costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
IPO Related Costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we incurred $4.4 million in organization and other costs directly related to the IPO. These costs included legal fees, third party due diligence costs, travel expenses, transfer taxes, filing fees and other miscellaneous items.
Early Termination of Debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we wrote off $7.1 million of loan origination costs and incurred an expense of $6.3 million related to exit fees applicable to the repayment of debt in the financing transaction.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $42.3 million, as compared to $32.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $10.1 million, or 31%. The increase primarily is due to increased depreciation on communities acquired in our 2004 acquisitions.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $31.8 million, as compared to $27.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $4.6 million, or 17%. The increase is due to a higher outstanding average debt balance of approximately $161.0 million, as well as higher effective weighted average interest rates on our variable rate debt.
Minority Interest. Minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1.2 million as compared to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 67%. The decrease primarily was due to the minority interest share of our decrease in loss before allocation to minority interest partially offset by a decrease in minority interest share of net loss to 5.2% as of June 30, 2005, from 13.9% for all periods prior to our IPO.
Preferred Stock Dividend. As of June 30, 2005, the ARC board of directors had declared a $0.5156 dividend on each of the 5,000,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, paid April 29, 2005, and a $0.5156 dividend payable July 29, 2005, for a combined $5.2 million of preferred dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2005. For the second quarter of 2004 the dividend declared and paid also was $0.5156 per share, or $2.6 million, however, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the dividend declared was $0.4182 per share, or $1.2 million prorated from funding of the IPO on February 18, 2004. Preferred dividends totaled $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders. As a result of the foregoing, our net loss available to common stockholders was $34.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $42.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $8.0 million or 19%. Our net loss available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes $27.9 million of costs related to the IPO, the related financing transaction and the Hometown acquisition including: (1) $10.1 million from restricted stock grants; (2) $4.4 million from IPO related organization and other costs; and (3) $13.4 million from the early termination of debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, recurring and non-recurring capital improvements of communities, debt repayment, the purchase of new and used homes for lease and sale, property acquisitions, funding loans to home buyers, Operating Partnership unit distributions, and common and preferred stock dividends. The Company intends to meet these liquidity requirements through its working capital provided by operating activities; available financing under its floor plan line of credit for home purchases, its consumer finance facility to fund home loans, its lease receivables line of credit to be secured by homes in the Companys rental portfolio; other available unsecured financing; and the potential sale of communities. The Company considers these sources to be adequate to meet all operating requirements, including recurring capital improvements, debt service, other normally recurring expenditures of a capital nature and, if necessary, to pay dividends to its stockholders to maintain qualification as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).
Our operating cash flows have not been sufficient to cover the distributions to our stockholders that we have made quarterly since our IPO in February 2004. On May 23, 2005, we declared a reduced distribution to our common stockholders for the second quarter of 2005. Our Board of Directors reviews our practices with respect to the payment of dividends on a quarterly basis. Should our operating cash flows not improve, we may need to take additional action with respect to the payment of dividends, which may include the further reduction or elimination of our distributions to our common stockholders.
To accomplish our plans and growth objectives for the next 12 months, we intend to invest significant funds for the purchase of manufactured homes for rent, lease with option to purchase and sale. We expect to commit to these expenditures only as demand warrants and we have entered into no significant forward purchase commitments with respect to these purchases. To optimize the long-term returns from our acquisitions, we also plan to incur non-recurring capital expenditures, of which approximately 40% are expected to be used to allow for the placement of manufactured homes onto vacant homesites in our communities. In addition, we plan to make recurring capital expenditures as necessary to keep our communities up to our standards and for general capital improvements.
We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs described above through net cash provided by operations, borrowings under our $50 million floorplan line of credit, borrowings under our $75 million lease receivables line of credit and other sources of capital. In addition, we have identified up to 50 communities for sale and we have the ability to sell additional communities if conditions warrant.
In addition, in order to facilitate sales of new and existing homes with our goal of increasing occupancy, we also plan to finance a significant portion of our home sales during 2005. We have a $125 million consumer finance facility to support our in-community home sales financing program under which we may finance up to 75% of the principal amount of qualifying loans made to qualifying home buyers.
We expect to refinance our $85 million revolving credit mortgage facility and our senior variable rate mortgage when due in 2005 and 2006. In addition to our existing sources of capital, we have significant experience in raising private equity and we may in the future use that experience to enter into financing
41
joint ventures or other similar arrangements if we determine that such a structure would provide an efficient means of raising capital.
Our plan is to increase occupancy through the activities described above. However, based on our historical results, we do not believe that the Company will be able to fully fund its debt service obligations and recurring capital expenditures, as well as its plans and growth objectives described above, out of operating cash flows. Accordingly, our ability to implement our plans and growth objectives described above will depend upon our ability to obtain adequate funding from the financing sources described above or from other available funding sources. We cannot assure that we will sell additional communities, sell new or used homes, borrow under our consumer finance line of credit, refinance expiring credit lines or make other arrangements necessary to fund some or all of our activities to increase occupancy. Should we not be able to obtain sufficient funds for these purposes, we may determine that it is necessary to substantially defer or eliminate some or all of our plans and growth objectives that require these funds, including home purchases, consumer loans, and non-recurring capital expenditures.
CASH FLOWS
Cash provided by operations was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with $19.0 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease in cash provided by operations primarily was due to payments made in the first half of 2005 for substantial accruals incurred at the end of 2004 for capital expenditures and repairs and maintenance activities as compared to a relatively low level of such payments in the first half of 2004.
Cash used in investing activities was $39.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with $576.8 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease in cash used in investing activities primarily was due to the Hometown portfolio acquisition in the first half of 2004, as well as proceeds from community sales in the first half of 2005.
Cash provided by financing activities was $18.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with $579.0 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities primarily was due to the issuance of additional indebtedness and common and preferred stock issuances in connection with our IPO in the first half of 2004, as well as increases in the repayment of existing indebtedness and the payment dividends in the first half of 2005.
INFLATION
Inflation in the U.S. has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Although the impact of inflation has been relatively insignificant in recent years, it remains a factor in the United States economy and may increase the cost of acquiring or replacing property, plant, and equipment and the costs of labor and utilities.

FFO
As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents income (loss) from continuing operations (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for managements discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating
43
activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use some derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.
As of June 30, 2005, our total debt outstanding was $1,089.0 million, comprised of $767.2 million of indebtedness subject to fixed interest rates and $321.8 million, or 30%, of our total consolidated debt, subject to variable interest rates. In February 2004 we entered into a two-year interest rate swap agreement pursuant to which we effectively fixed the base rate portion of the interest rate with respect to $100 million of our variable rate debt. As a result, approximately 80% of our total indebtedness is subject to fixed interest rates for a minimum of two years.
If LIBOR and the prime rate were to increase by 1.00%, the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.2 million annually. If, after consideration of the interest rate swap agreement described above, LIBOR and the prime rate were to increase by 1.00%, the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.2 million annually.
Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.
The fair value of debt outstanding as of June 30, 2005 was approximately $1,117.7 million.
