UMH PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES


UMH Properties, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us” or “the Company”) owns and operates forty-one manufactured home communities containing approximately 9,000 developed homesites.  The communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Indiana.  The Company, through its wholly-owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F), conducts manufactured home sales in its communities. S&F was established to enhance the occupancy of the communities.  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.  The Company also invests in securities of other REITs.


On July 26, 2012, the Company acquired Meadowood Estates, a 123-site manufactured home community located in New Middletown, OH (See Note 11).  On August 1, 2012, the Company acquired 11 manufactured home communities, 10 located in Pennsylvania and one located in New York, consisting of 968 developed homesites (See Note 11).  With these acquisitions, the Company now owns fifty-three communities consisting of approximately 10,100 developed homesites.


The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (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 (US 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 US 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  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, 2011.


Use of Estimates


In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of



9






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.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.


Stock Based Compensation


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 $107,972 and $215,944 have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $48,950 and $98,150 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.


On January 19, 2012, the Company awarded to Samuel A. Landy a restricted stock award of 25,000 shares in accordance with his employment agreement.  The grant date fair value of this restricted stock grant was $239,000.  This grant vests over 5 years.  


As of June 30, 2012, there were options outstanding to purchase 725,000 shares and 632,188 shares were available for grant under the Company’s 2003 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan, as amended.  As of June 30, 2011, there were options outstanding to purchase 721,000 shares and 735,188 shares were available for grant under the Company’s 2003 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan, as amended.  

  

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities


In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate risk on our variable rate debt.  We attempt to limit these risks by following established risk management policies, procedures and strategies, including the use of derivative financial instruments.  We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.


On February 2, 2012, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that has the effect of fixing interest rates relative to a specific mortgage loan as follows:

The Company's interest rate swap is based upon 30-day LIBOR.  The re-pricing and scheduled maturity dates, payment dates, index and the notional amounts of the interest rate swap



10






agreements coincide with those of the underlying mortgage.  The interest rate swap agreement is net settled monthly.  The Company has designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge and has recorded the fair value on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (See Note 7 for information on the determination of fair value).  The effective portion of the gain or loss on this hedge will be reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. To the extent that the hedging relationship is not effective or do not qualify as a cash flow hedge, the ineffective portion is recorded in interest expense.  Hedges that received designated hedge accounting treatment are evaluated for effectiveness at the time that they are designated as well as through the hedging period.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company has determined that this interest rate swap agreement is highly effective as a cash flow hedge.  As a result, the fair value of this derivative of ($198,559) was recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, with the corresponding liability included in Accrued Liabilities and Deposits.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The pronouncement was issued to provide a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  ASU 2011-05 allows an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The provisions of ASU 2011-12 indefinitely defer portions of ASU 2011-05 related to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 – NET INCOME PER SHARE


Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income 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 plus the weighted average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method.  Options in the amount of 65,023 and 61,535 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, are included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  Options in the amount of 57,938 and 56,143 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, are included in the diluted weighted shares outstanding.  As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, options to purchase 522,000 and 518,000 shares, respectively, were antidilutive.


NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT


On January 12, 2012, the Company acquired Countryside Estates, a 90-site manufactured home community situated on approximately 64 acres, located in Muncie, Indiana, for a purchase price of $2,100,000.  This community was originally licensed for over 200 sites and is being built in phases.  Upon completion, it will ultimately be approximately 200-210 sites.  


Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805-10, Business Combinations, requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value”.  Accordingly, acquisition costs incurred, which would have previously been capitalized, are expensed currently.  The Company has recognized $187,284 and $269,941 in professional fees and other acquisition costs in our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $135,626 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.  


On May 23, 2012, the Company entered into an Oil and Gas Lease at one of our communities.  The initial term of the lease is for five years, with an option to extend for an additional five years under the same terms and conditions as contained in the original lease.  The Company received $499,471 upon signing of the lease, which has been recorded as Other Income.  The Company will receive a 20% royalty on any oil and gas produced.

The Company is required to disclose certain information about fair values of financial instruments, as defined in ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments.  Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time, based upon, where available, relevant market prices and information about the financial instrument.  Such estimates do not include any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  All of the Company’s securities available for sale have quoted market prices and are therefore classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  A quoted market price is indirectly available for our interest rate swap.  This price is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows, and reflects the contractual



15






terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs.  As such, we have determined that the valuation of this interest rate swap is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


For a portion of the Company's other financial instruments, no quoted market value exists.  Therefore, estimates of fair value are necessarily based on a number of significant assumptions (many of which involve events outside the control of management).  Such assumptions include assessments of current economic conditions, perceived risks associated with these financial instruments and their counterparties, future expected loss experience and other factors.  Given the uncertainties surrounding these assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only and, therefore, cannot be compared to the historical accounting model.  Use of different assumptions or methodologies is likely to result in significantly different fair value estimates.


The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and notes receivables approximates their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature.  The fair value of variable rate mortgages payable and loans payable approximate their current carrying amounts since such amounts payable are at approximately a weighted-average current market rate of interest.   As of June 30, 2012, the fair and carrying value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $94,367,065 and $92,041,232, respectively.  The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated based upon discounted cash flows at current market rates for instruments with similar remaining terms.


NOTE 8 -  CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS


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 claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.


On March 21, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire eleven manufactured home communities, ten located in Pennsylvania and one located in New York.  This transaction was completed on August 1, 2012 (See Note 11).

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 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 notes thereto included elsewhere herein and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.


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 – leasing manufactured home spaces on a month-to-month basis to private manufactured home owners.  The Company also leases homes to residents and, through its taxable REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F) sells and finances homes to residents and prospective residents of our communities.  At June 30, 2012, the Company owned forty-one communities containing approximately 9,000 developed homesites.  These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Indiana.  The Company also invests in securities of other REITs.


On July 26, 2012, the Company acquired Meadowood Estates, a 123-site manufactured home community located in New Middletown, OH.  On August 1, 2012, the Company acquired 11 manufactured home communities, 10 located in Pennsylvania and one located in New York, with a total of 968 developed homesites.  With these acquisitions, the Company now owns fifty-three communities consisting of approximately 10,100 developed homesites.


The Company’s income primarily consists of rental and related income from the operation of its manufactured home communities.  Income also includes sales of manufactured homes. 


Although current economic indicators show the US economy to be improving, the rate of recovery has been much slower than anticipated.  Conventional home ownership rates continue to fall.  However, activity in our communities has recently increased.  We have seen an increase in sales during 2012.  We are also seeing increased demand for rental units and since the second quarter of 2011, have added a net of approximately 110 rental units to selected communities.  Occupied rental units represent approximately 13% of total occupied sites at quarter end.  We hope to convert renters to new homeowners in the future.


The Company also holds a portfolio of securities of other REITs with a fair value of $55,271,574 at June 30, 2012, which earns dividend and interest income.  The dividends received from our securities investments were at a weighted-average yield of approximately 6.6% as of June 30, 2012.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized gains on sales of securities of $2,281,066.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had net unrealized gains of $9,844,386 in its REIT securities portfolio.  The Company invests in REIT securities on margin from time to time when the Company can achieve an adequate yield spread.  The REIT securities


19






portfolio provides the Company with liquidity and additional income and serves as a proxy for real property investments.  


The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments.  Over the past two years, we added twelve manufactured home communities, encompassing approximately 2,100 developed homesites, to our portfolio. On January 12, 2012, we acquired Countryside Estates, a 90-site manufactured home community situated on approximately 64 acres, located in Muncie, Indiana, for a purchase price of $2,100,000.  This community was originally licensed for over 200 sites and is being built in phases.  Upon completion, it will ultimately be approximately 200-210 sites.  Additionally, subsequent to quarter-end, we added 12 more communities totaling approximately 1,100 developed homesites.  We have been positioning ourselves for future growth and will continue to seek opportunistic investments.   


On April 10, 2012, the Company issued 1,075,000 shares of its 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at an offering price of $25.292 per share in an underwritten public offering, which includes accrued dividends.  The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $25.8 million and intends to use the net proceeds to purchase additional properties, including the acquisitions of the 12 communities which closed subsequent to quarter-end, and for other general corporate purposes, including possible repayment of indebtedness.

Sales of manufactured homes amounted to $2,237,037 and $1,557,701 for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Sales of manufactured homes amounted to $4,367,940 and $2,643,945 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $2,068,077 and $1,473,634 for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $4,040,403 and $2,458,005 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Selling expenses amounted to $628,682 and $490,671 for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Selling expenses amounted to $1,059,745 and $875,767 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  These increases are directly attributable to the increase in sales.  Loss from the sales operations (defined as sales of manufactured homes less cost of sales of manufactured homes less selling expenses) amounted to $459,722 or 21% of total sales, and $406,604 or 26% of total sales for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Loss from the sales



20






operations amounted to $732,208 or 17% of total sales, and $689,827 or 26% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The gross profit percentage was 8% and 5% for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The gross profit percentage was 7% for both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  Activity in our communities has increased.  The Company believes that sales of new homes produces new rental revenue and is an investment in the upgrading of the communities.


Community operating expenses increased 12% from $4,364,918 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to $4,879,904 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  Community operating expenses increased 12% from $8,599,894 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $9,674,174 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 and an increase in personnel and related costs. General and administrative expenses increased 20% from $1,025,912 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to $1,235,972 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  General and administrative expenses increased 25% from $1,991,965 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $2,490,066 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to an increase in compensation and related costs.  Acquisition costs relate to transaction and due diligence costs associated with the acquisitions of the communities.  Depreciation expense increased 21% from $1,394,901 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to $1,692,130 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  Depreciation expense increased 18% from $2,790,535 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $3,301,421 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.  Amortization of financing costs remained relatively stable for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  


Interest and dividend income increased 24% from $1,044,593 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to $1,294,702 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  Interest and dividend income increased 22% from $2,087,808 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $2,549,517 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to an increase in securities available for sale.  The average balance of the securities portfolio was approximately $49,300,000 and $32,700,000 at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  


Gain on securities transactions, net amounted to $1,068,354 and $-0- for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Gain on securities transactions, net amounted to $2,281,066 and $1,541,856 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The market for, REIT securities has continued to improve.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had net unrealized gains of $9,844,386 in its REIT securities portfolio.  The dividends received from our securities investments continue to meet our expectations.  It is our intent to hold these securities long-term.


Other income amounted to $535,855 and $11,348 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Other income amounted to $555,259 and $25,242 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The increases were primarily due to the amount received on an oil and gas lease on a community.


Interest expense decreased 16% from $1,474,200 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to $1,234,469 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  Interest expense decreased 9% from $2,929,906



21






for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $2,666,167 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to principal payments of mortgages and loans.


 Changes in Financial Condition


Total investment property and equipment increased 4% or $7,544,854 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Countryside Estates for a purchase price of $2,100,000.  The Company also added approximately 110 rental units.


Securities available for sale increased 28% or $11,973,360 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase was due to purchases of securities available for sales of $11,562,803 and an increase in the unrealized gain of $7,383,081.  These increases were partially offset by sales with an adjusted cost of $6,972,524.

 

Inventory of manufactured homes increased 17% or $1,721,379 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The Company is seeing increased activity in our communities and is optimistic about future sales and rental prospects.


Mortgages payable increased 6% or $5,417,524 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was due to a new $11,400,000 mortgage partially offset by principal repayments of $5,982,476, including the payoff of our mortgage on Port Royal Village in the amount of approximately $4,700,000.


Loans payable decreased 63% or $14,968,671 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to proceeds of the new mortgage and from the issuance of preferred stock being used to pay down the margin loan.  


On April 10, 2012, the Company issued 1,075,000 shares of its preferred stock at an offering price of $25.292 per share in an underwritten public offering.  The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $25.8 million and intends to use the net proceeds to purchase additional properties, including the acquisitions of the 12 communities which closed subsequent to quarter-end, and for other general corporate purposes, including possible repayment of indebtedness.


The Company also raised $9,866,520 from the issuance of common stock in the DRIP during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which included dividend reinvestments of $688,870.  Dividends paid on the common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $5,712,674 of which $688,870 was reinvested.  On June 28, 2012, the Company declared a dividend of $.18 per share to be paid September 17, 2012 to common shareholders of record as of August 15, 2012.  


Dividends paid on the preferred stock for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,621,034.  This was net of $313,900 of accrued dividends on the newly issued preferred shares.  On July 9, 2012, the Company declared a preferred dividend of $.515625 per share to be paid on September 17, 2012 to preferred shareholders of record as of August 15, 2012.

Liquidity And Capital Resources


The Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the Company’s stockholders, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service, purchases of manufactured home inventory, investment in securities of other REITs and payments of expenses relating to real estate operations.  The Company’s ability to generate cash adequate to meet these demands is dependent primarily on income from its real estate investments and securities portfolio, the sale of real estate investments and securities, refinancing of mortgage debt, leveraging of real estate investments, availability of bank borrowings, proceeds from the DRIP, and access to the capital markets.

 

Current economic indicators show the US economy to be slowly improving.  The affordability of our homes should enable the Company to perform well despite the challenging economy.  While the recent recession has proven difficult, the manufactured housing community property type has been more stable than other commercial property types.  


Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $4,075,109 and $4,368,380 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash of $20.9 million, securities available for sale of $55.3 million, $5 million available on its unsecured line of credit,  and $6 million available on its revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and the purchase of inventory.  The Company owns 41 properties, of which 22 are unencumbered.  These marketable securities, non-mortgaged properties, and lines of credit provide the Company with additional liquidity.   The Company has been raising capital through its DRIP and through public offerings of its preferred stock.


The Company uses a variety of sources to fund its cash needs in addition to cash generated through operations.  The Company may sell marketable securities, borrow on its lines of credit, finance and refinance its properties, or raise capital through the DRIP and capital markets.  The Company believes that funds generated from these sources will provide sufficient funds to adequately meet its obligations over the next several years.


The Company had one mortgage with a balance of approximately $1,900,000 maturing in July 2012.  On July 2, 2012, the Company repaid this mortgage.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.


Funds From Operations


Funds from Operations (FFO) is defined as net income excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable assets, plus depreciation.  FFO should be considered as a supplemental measure of operating performance used by real estate investment trusts (REITs).  FFO excludes historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost basis.  The items excluded from FFO are significant components in understanding



23






and assessing the Company’s financial performance.  FFO (1) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (2) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (3) is not an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.  FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other REITs.


The Company’s FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is calculated as follows:
