UMH PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

UMH Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, “us” or “the Company”) operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) deriving its income primarily from real estate rental operations. The Company owns and operates 127 manufactured home communities containing approximately 24,000 developed homesites as of September 30, 2021. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, Alabama and South Carolina. At its communities, the Company leases manufactured home sites to private manufactured home owners and leases manufactured homes to residents. In addition, through its wholly-owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), the Company also sells and finances the sale of manufactured homes to residents and prospective residents in its communities. Inherent in the operations of manufactured home communities are site vacancies. S&F was established to fill these vacancies and enhance the value of the communities. The Company also owns a portfolio of REIT securities which the Company generally limits to no more than approximately 15 % of its undepreciated assets. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include S&F and all of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The Company’s 127 residential communities remain open and operational. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact the Company’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. However, the future effects of the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain.

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

The interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and 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.

Reclassifications

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

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate risk on its variable rate debt. The Company attempts to limit these risks by following established risk management policies, procedures and strategies, including the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company generally employs derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company previously entered into various interest rate swap agreements that have had the effect of fixing interest rates relative to specific mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, these agreements had expired and the Company does not have any interest rate swap agreements in effect.

Leases

We account for our leases under ASC 842, “Leases.” Our primary source of revenue is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes, where we are the lessor. These leases are generally for one-year or month-to-month terms and renewable by mutual agreement from us and the resident, or in some cases, as provided by jurisdictional statute.

We are the lessee in other arrangements, primarily for our corporate office and a ground lease at one community. As of September 30, 2021, the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $ 3.6 million are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued liabilities and deposits on the consolidated balance sheets.

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

2025	391
Thereafter	19,495
Total Lease Payments	$ 21,199

The weighted average remaining lease term for these leases is 163.6 years. The right of use assets and lease liabilities was calculated using an interest rate of 5 %.

Restricted Cash

The Company’s restricted cash consists of amounts primarily held in deposit for tax, insurance and repair escrows held by lenders in accordance with certain debt agreements. Restricted cash is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table reconciles beginning of period and end of period balances of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the periods shown (in thousands) :

Cash, Cash Equivalents And Restricted Cash	$ 90,470	$ 28,593	$ 68,687	$ 18,996

Revenue

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASC 606). For transactions in the scope of ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of goods or services transfers to the customer, in the amount that we expect to receive for the transfer of goods or provision of services.

Rental and related income is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes. The lease component of these agreements is accounted for under ASC 842 “Leases.” The non-lease components of our lease agreements consist primarily of utility reimbursements, which are accounted for with the site lease as a single lease under ASC 842.

Field: Page; Sequence: 13; Value: 2

Field: /Page

Revenue from sales of manufactured homes is recognized in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606, at the time of closing when control of the home transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, we generally have no remaining performance obligation.

Interest income is primarily from notes receivables for the previous sales of manufactured homes. Interest income on these receivables is accrued based on the unpaid principal balances of the underlying loans on a level yield basis over the life of the loans.

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

Other income primarily consists of brokerage commissions for arranging for the sale of a home by a third party and other miscellaneous income. This income is recognized when the transactions are completed and our performance obligations have been fulfilled.

Notes Receivables

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had notes receivable of $ 50.8 million and $ 41.8 million, net of a fair value adjustment of $ 1.0 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively. Notes receivable are presented as a component of notes and other receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheets. These receivables represent balances owed to us for previously completed performance obligations for sales of manufactured homes.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

NOTE 2 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

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

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase 3.3 million shares of common stock amounted to 1.0 million shares were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, employee stock options to purchase 3.3 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, employee stock options to purchase 3.3 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Acquisitions

On January 8, 2021, the Company acquired Deer Run, located in Dothan, Alabama, for approximately $ 4.6 million. This community contains a total of 195 developed homesites that are situated on approximately 33 total acres. At the date of acquisition, the average occupancy for this community was approximately 37 %.

On January 21, 2021, the Company acquired Iris Winds, located in Sumter, South Carolina, for approximately $ 3.4 million.

This community contains a total of 206 developed homesites that are situated on approximately 56 total acres. At the date of acquisition, the average occupancy for this community was approximately 86 %.

The Company has evaluated these acquisitions and has determined that they should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets. As such, we have allocated the total cash consideration, including transaction costs of approximately $ 899,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, to the individual assets acquired on a relative fair value basis.

The following table summarizes our purchase price allocation for the assets acquired for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 ( in thousands ):

NOTE 4 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company’s marketable securities consist primarily of marketable common and preferred stock of other REITs with a fair value of $ 102.8 million as of September 30, 2021, which represents 6.8 % of undepreciated assets. The Company generally limits its investment in marketable securities to no more than approximately 15 % of its undepreciated assets.

Availability under the Facility is limited to 60% of the value of the unencumbered communities which the Company has placed in the Facility’s unencumbered asset pool (“Borrowing Base”). The Amendment increased the value of the Borrowing Base communities by reducing the capitalization rate applied to the Net Operating Income (“NOI”) generated by the communities in the Borrowing Base from 7.5% to 7.0%.

Field: /Page

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 of $ 735,000 and $ 2.3 million have been recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 217,000 and $ 1.1 million have been recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

On January 13, 2021, the Company awarded a total of 25,000 shares of restricted stock to five employees. The grant date fair value of these restricted stock grants was $ 370,000 . These grants vest ratably over 5 years.

On January 13, 2021, the Company awarded a total of 16,500 shares of common stock to the members of our Board of Directors. The grant date fair value of these awards was $ 244,000 .

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Dividend yield	4.66 %
Expected volatility	24.59 %
Risk-free interest rate	1.44 %
Expected lives	10
Estimated forfeitures	0

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, thirty-five participants exercised options to purchase a total of 688,000 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $ 12.07 per share for total proceeds of $ 8.3 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was $ 5.8 million.

As of September 30, 2021, there were options outstanding to purchase 3.3 million shares, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $ 28.0 million. There were 2.4 million shares available for grant under the amended Plan.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including marketable securities.

The fair value of these financial assets and liabilities was determined using the following inputs at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands) :

	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using	Quoted Prices	Significant
		In Active	Other	Significant
		Markets for	Observable	Unobservable

In addition to the Company’s investment in marketable securities 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 marketable securities 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 receivable approximates their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature. The fair value of variable rate loans payable approximate their current carrying amounts since such amounts payable are at approximately a weighted-average current market rate of interest. As of September 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $ 478.5 million and the carrying value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $ 471.9 million.

NOTE 9 – CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS

From time to time, the Company may be subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that any such claims or litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.

The Company has 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 September 30, 2021, the total loan balance under this agreement was approximately $ 1.4 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 September 30, 2021, the total loan balance owed to 21st Mortgage with respect to homes in these acquired communities was approximately $ 1.6 million. Although this agreement is still active, this program is not being utilized by the Company’s new customers as a source of financing.

S&F entered into a Chattel Loan Origination, Sale and Servicing Agreement (“COP Program”) with Triad Financial Services, effective January 1, 2016. Neither the Company, nor S&F, receive referral fees or other cash compensation under the agreement. Customer loan applications are initially submitted to Triad for consideration by Triad’s portfolio of outside lenders. If a loan application does not meet the criteria for outside financing, the application is then considered for financing under the COP Program. If the loan is approved under the COP Program, then it is originated by Triad, assigned to S&F and then assigned by S&F to the Company. Included in notes and other receivables is approximately $ 44.3 million of loans that the Company acquired under the COP Program as of September 30, 2021.

NOTE 10 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash paid for interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $ 14.9 million and $ 13.5 million, respectively. Interest cost capitalized to land development was $ 1.1 million and $ 896,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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

Impact of COVID-19

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

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

Collections are consistent with pre-pandemic levels and we have collected 95% of October 2021 site and home rent as of today’s date. Some of our residents benefitted from the federal government’s funding of the Emergency Rental Assistance Programs that were enacted in each state.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain and dependent on future developments (including the ongoing roll-out of vaccines and their efficacy). We will continue to monitor these rapidly evolving developments and respond in the best interests of our employees, residents and shareholders. At this time, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences will not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included elsewhere herein and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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

As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned and operated 127 manufactured home communities containing approximately 24,000 developed homesites. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, Alabama and South Carolina.

Field: /Page

The Company earns income from the operation of its manufactured home communities, leasing of manufactured homesites, the rental of manufactured homes, the sale and finance of manufactured homes and the brokering of home sales and revenue under cable service agreements as well as from appreciation in the values of the manufactured home communities and vacant land owned by the Company. The Company also invests in securities of other REITs which the Company generally limits to no more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets. As of September 30, 2021, the securities portfolio represented 6.8% of undepreciated assets.

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

The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. This has resulted in increased occupancy rates and improved operating results. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, rental and related income increased 11% and 12%, respectively, from the prior year period and Community Net Operating Income (“NOI”), as defined below, increased 16% and 15%, respectively. Same property NOI, which includes communities owned and operated as of January 1, 2020, increased 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 over the prior year period driven by a 190 basis point increase in occupancy to 87.3%. We have been positioning ourselves for future growth and will continue to seek opportunistic investments. There is no assurance that the Company can continue to buy existing manufactured home communities that meet the requirements of the business plan or that the demand for rental homes will continue in the future.

Sales of manufactured homes increased 45% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from the prior year. Demand for quality affordable housing remains healthy while inventory is scarce. Our property type offers substantial comparative value that should continue to result in increased demand.

The macro-economic environment and current housing fundamentals continue to favor home rentals. Rental homes in a manufactured home community allow the resident to obtain the efficiencies of factory-built housing and the amenities of community living for less than the cost of other forms of affordable housing. We continue to see strong demand for rental homes. We have added an additional 448 rental homes during the first nine months of 2021. This brought the total number of rental homes to approximately 8,700 rental homes, or 36.3% of total sites. Occupied rental homes represented approximately 40.1% of total occupied sites at quarter end. Occupancy in rental homes continues to be strong and was at 95.1% as of September 30, 2021. We compare favorably with other types of rental housing, including apartments, and we will continue to allocate capital to rental home purchases, as demand dictates.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company acquired three communities, located in Alabama, South Carolina and Ohio, containing a total of 543 homesites on 113 acres for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18.3 million.

See PART I, Item 1 – Business in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a more complete discussion of the economic and industry-wide factors relevant to the Company and the opportunities and 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 (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

On a regular basis, management evaluates our assumptions, judgments and estimates. Management believes there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our significant accounting policies and estimates under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Supplemental Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include certain non-GAAP financial measures that in management’s view of the business we believe are meaningful as they allow the investor the ability to understand key operating details of our business both with and without regard to certain accounting conventions or items that may not always be indicative of recurring annual cash flow of the portfolio. These non-GAAP financial measures as determined and presented by us may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies and include Community Net Operating Income (“Community NOI”), Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“FFO”) and Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”).

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

The Company’s Community NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is calculated as follows (in thousands) :

	Three Months Ended — 9/30/21	9/30/20	Nine Months Ended — 9/30/21	9/30/20
Rental and Related Income	$ 40,248	$ 36,358	$ 118,302	$ 105,767
Less: Community Operating Expenses	16,833	16,245	51,015	47,191
Community NOI	$ 23,415	$ 20,113	$ 67,287	$ 58,576

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

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

The Company’s FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are calculated as follows (in thousands) :

Changes In Results Of Operations

Rental and related income increased 11% from $36.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $40.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Rental and related income increased 12% from $105.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $118.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2020 and 2021, as well as increases in rental rates and same property occupancy and additional rental homes. The Company has been raising rental rates by approximately 3% to 4% annually at most communities. Same property occupancy has increased 190 basis points from 85.4% as of September 30, 2020 to 87.3% at September 30, 2021. Occupied rental homes increased 7% from approximately 7,700 homes at September 30, 2020 to 8,300 homes at September 30, 2021.

Community operating expenses increased 4% from $16.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to new acquisitions and to increases in insurance, water and sewer expense and payroll and personnel costs. Community operating expenses increased 8% from $47.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $51.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to new acquisitions, and increases in snow removal costs, water and sewer, insurance, real estate taxes and payroll and personnel costs.

Community NOI increased 16% from $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $23.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Community NOI increased 15% from $58.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $67.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions during 2020 and 2021 and increases in rental rates, occupancy and rental homes. The Company’s operating expense ratio (defined as community operating expenses divided by rental and related income) was 41.8% and 44.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s operating expense ratio was 43.1% and 44.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Many recently acquired communities have deferred maintenance requiring higher than normal expenditures in the first few years of ownership. Because most of the community expenses consist of fixed costs, as occupancy rates increase, these expense ratios are expected to continue to improve. Since the Company has the ability to increase its rental rates annually, increasing costs due to inflation and changing prices have generally not had a material effect on revenues and income from continuing operations.

Selling expenses, which includes salaries, commissions, advertising and other miscellaneous expenses, amounted to $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Selling expenses amounted to $3.8 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Income 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) amounted to $611,000 or 8% of total sales and $643,000 or 10% of total sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income from the sales operations amounted to $1.5 million or 7% of total sales and $446,000 or 3% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Many of the costs associated with sales, such as salaries, and to an extent, advertising and promotion, are fixed.

Home prices have continued their rise as fewer sellers are listing homes and inventories decline. The inherent affordability of our property type becomes more and more apparent, which should result in increased demand. The Company continues to be optimistic about future sales and rental prospects given the fundamental need for affordable housing. The Company believes that sales of new homes produce new rental revenue and represent an investment in the upgrading of our communities.

General and administrative expenses increased 8% from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. General and administrative expenses increased 20% from $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These increases were due to an increase in personnel costs, including an increase in the bonus accrual based on FFO metrics, an increase in stock-based compensation, including special restricted stock grants for the 2020 groundbreaking Fannie Mae financing, and an increase in matching contributions associated with our 401(k) Plan. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross revenue (total income plus interest, dividends and other income) was 6.3% and 6.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 6.5% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Without the special bonus and restricted stock grants, these percentages were 5.6% and 6.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Depreciation expense increased 8% from $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Depreciation expense increased 8% from $31.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $33.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions and the increase in rental homes during 2020 and 2021.

Interest income increased 16% from $736,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $857,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest income increased 15% from $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These increases were primarily due to an increase in the average balance of notes receivable from $36.9 million at September 30, 2020 to $45.1 million at September 30, 2021.

Dividend income remained relatively stable for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021. Dividend income decreased 14% from $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was due to reduced dividends from our securities holdings. Dividends received from our marketable securities investments were at a weighted average yield of approximately 4.3% and 5.2% at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Gain on sales of marketable securities amounted to $2.6 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Increase (decrease) in fair value of marketable securities amounted to decreases of $5.4 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Increase (decrease) in fair value of marketable securities increased from a loss of $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to a gain of $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had total net unrealized losses of $25.2 million in its REIT securities portfolio. It is the Company’s intent to hold these marketable securities long-term.

Interest expense, including amortization of financing costs, increased 6% from $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense, including amortization of financing costs, increased 11% from $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our mortgage and loans payable from $482.2 million at September 30, 2020 to $532.9 million at September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the August 2020 Fannie Mae financing of $106 million.

Changes in Financial Condition

Total investment property and equipment increased 6% or $61.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company acquired three communities totaling 543 developed homesites for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18.3 million. The Company also added 448 rental homes to its communities during the first nine months of 2021. The Company’s occupancy rate on its rental homes portfolio increased 50 basis points from 94.6% at December 31, 2020 to 95.1% at September 30, 2021.

Marketable securities remained relatively stable from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021.

Mortgages payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, remained relatively stable from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021.

Loans payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, decreased 54% or $47.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease of $17.6 million on our margin loan, a decrease of $9.1 million on our revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and the purchase of inventory and a decrease of $20 million on our unsecured credit facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

The Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the Company’s shareholders, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service, purchases of manufactured home inventory and rental homes, financing of manufactured home sales and payments of expenses relating to real estate operations. We anticipate that the liquidity demands of the recent properties acquired will be met by the operations of these acquisitions. The Company’s ability to generate cash adequate to meet these demands is dependent primarily on income from its real estate investments and marketable securities portfolio, the sale of real estate investments and marketable securities, refinancing of mortgage debt, leveraging of real estate investments, availability of bank borrowings, lines of credit, proceeds from the DRIP, and access to the capital markets, including through its New Common ATM Program and its New Preferred ATM Program.

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

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

The Company continues to strengthen its capital and liquidity positions. Through our New Preferred ATM Program, the Company issued and sold a total of 2.2 million shares of our Series D Preferred Stock generating gross proceeds of $54.1 million and net proceeds after offering expenses of $53.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued and sold 5.4 million shares of Common Stock through our 2020 Common ATM Program and our New Common ATM Program at a weighted average price of $20.97 per share, generating gross proceeds of $112.3 million and net proceeds of $110.5 million, after offering expenses.

As of September 30, 2021, $73.8 million of common stock remained available for sale under the New Common ATM Program and $12.2 million in shares of Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock remained available for sale under the New Preferred ATM Program.

The Company also raised $7.4 million from the issuance of common stock in the DRIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which included Dividend Reinvestments of $2.6 million. Dividends paid on the common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $25.7 million, of which $2.6 million were reinvested. Dividends paid on the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $22.2 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $46.3 million and $50.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $82.4 million, marketable securities of $102.8 million, approximately $38.5 million available on our revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and purchases of inventory, $15 million available on our line of credit secured by rental homes and rental homes leases and $50 million available on our unsecured credit facility, with an additional $50 million potentially available pursuant to an accordion feature.

The Company owns 127 communities, of which 23 are unencumbered. Except for 13 communities in the borrowing base for our unsecured credit facility, these unencumbered communities can be used to raise additional funds. Our marketable securities, unencumbered properties, and lines of credit provide the Company with additional liquidity.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had total assets of $1.2 billion and total liabilities of $536.1 million. The Company’s net debt (net of unamortized debt issuance costs and cash and cash equivalents) to total market capitalization as of September 30, 2021 was approximately 20% and the Company’s net debt, less securities to total market capitalization as of September 30, 2021 was approximately 16%. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a mortgage totaling $12.4 million due within the next 12 months which was subsequently paid off on November 1, 2021. The Company believes that it has the ability to meet its obligations and to generate funds for new investments.
