EXPLANATORY NOTE

("UMH  Maryland"),  became the successor issuer to United Mobile Homes,  Inc., a
New Jersey corporation ("UMH New Jersey"),  as a result of the merger of UMH New
Jersey  with and into  UMH  Maryland,  with UMH  Maryland  being  the  surviving

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     The following description is only a summary of certain terms and provisions
of our common  stock.  You should refer to our charter and bylaws for a complete
description.

     General.  Our  authorized  capital  stock  consists of  23,000,000  shares,
initially  classified as 20,000,000  shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per
share,  and  3,000,000  shares of excess stock,  par value $0.10 per share.  The
excess  stock is  designed  to protect  our status as a REIT under the  Internal
Revenue Code. See "- REIT Related Restrictions."


                                      II-1

     Under Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") and our charter,  our board
of directors has the power,  without action by the stockholders,  to increase or
decrease  the  aggregate  number of  shares of stock or the  number of shares of
stock of any  class  that we have the  authority  to issue.  Also,  our board of
directors has the power, without any action by the stockholders,  to classify or
reclassify any unissued capital stock including  classification  into a class or
classes of preferred stock,  preference stock,  special stock or other stock and
to divide or classify shares into one or more series of such class. Our board of
directors may exercise its power to increase the number of authorized  shares or
to reclassify any unissued shares in connection with a merger or acquisition,  a
future  underwritten public offering or private placement or a potential hostile
takeover.  As a holder of our  common  stock,  you will have no  preferences  or
sinking fund or preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities.

     As of September 30, 2003,  7,998,258 shares of common stock were issued and
outstanding  and no shares of  excess  stock  were  issued or  outstanding.  Our
outstanding  shares of common stock are currently  listed on the American  Stock
Exchange under the symbol "UMH".

     Voting  Rights.  As a holder  of common  stock,  you will have one vote per
share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election
of directors.  There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which
means that the holders of a plurality of the outstanding  shares of common stock
can elect all of the directors then standing for election and the holders of the
remaining  shares  of  common  stock,  if any,  will  not be able to  elect  any
directors. Holder of excess stock will not have any voting rights.

     Classified Board of Directors. Our charter provides that the members of our
board of directors are divided, as evenly as possible,  into three classes, with
approximately  one-third of the directors elected by the stockholders  annually.
Each director is to serve for a three year term or until his or her successor is
duly elected and has qualified.  Consequently, members of our board of directors
will serve staggered three-year terms.

     Distributions.  Subject to any preferential  rights granted to any class of
capital stock, as a holder of our common stock,  you will be entitled to receive
dividends or other  distributions  as may be authorized from time to time by our
board of  directors  and  declared  by us out of  funds  legally  available  for
dividends or other  distributions  to  stockholders.  We  currently  pay regular
quarterly  distributions  on our common stock. In the event of our  liquidation,
after  payment of any  preferential  amounts to any class of capital stock which
may be outstanding  and after payment of, or adequate  provision for, all of our
known  debts and  liabilities,  holders  of common  stock  and,  subject  to the
provisions of our charter, excess stock will be entitled to share ratably in all
assets that we may legally distribute to our stockholders.

     REIT Related Restrictions.  To qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986,  we must satisfy a number of statutory  requirements,  including a
requirement  that no more than 50% in value of our  outstanding  shares of stock
may be owned,  actually  or  constructively,  by five or fewer  individuals  (as
defined  by the Code to  include  certain  entities)  during  the last half of a
taxable year (other than the first taxable year of REIT status). In addition, if
we,  or an  actual  or  constructive  owner  of 10% or more of us,  actually  or
constructively  owns  10% or  more  of a  tenant  of ours  (or a  tenant  of any
partnership in which we are a partner),  the rent we receive (either directly or
through any such partnership) from such tenant will not be qualifying income


                                      II-2

for purposes of the REIT gross income tests of the Code.  Our capital stock must
also be beneficially  owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a
taxable  year of  twelve  months  or  during a  proportionate  part of a shorter
taxable year.

     Because we intend to qualify as a REIT under the Code, our charter contains
limitations  designed to protect our status as a REIT.  Under our  charter,  any
person  who  acquires  or  attempts  to acquire  shares of our  common  stock in
violation  of the  ownership  limitations  and transfer  restrictions  must give
written  notice to us. In  addition,  every  stockholder  of more than 5% of the
number or value of our  outstanding  common stock must give written notice to us
of the number of shares of common stock  beneficially or  constructively  owned.
Under our charter, if a transfer of our capital stock or a change in our capital
structure  would  result in (i) any  person  directly  or  indirectly  acquiring
beneficial  ownership  of  more  than  9.8%  of  our  capital  stock;  (ii)  our
outstanding  capital stock being  constructively or beneficially  owned by fewer
than 100 persons; or (iii) us being "closely held" within the meaning of Section
856 of the Code or us  otherwise  failing  to  qualify as a REIT under the Code,
then:  (a) our board of  directors  may take any  action it deems  advisable  to
refuse to give  effect  to,  or to  prevent,  such  transfer;  (b) any  proposed
transfer  will be void ab initio and will not be  recognized  by us; (c) we will
have the right to redeem the shares  proposed to be transferred at a price equal
to the lesser of the price per share paid in the  transaction  which created the
violation and the last reported  sales price on the American  Stock  Exchange on
the trading date immediately prior to the date we give notice of redemption; and
(d) the shares proposed to be transferred will be  automatically  converted into
and exchanged for shares of a separate class of stock,  excess stock,  having no
voting  rights.  Holders of excess stock do have certain  rights in the event of
any  liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding-up of the  corporation.  Our charter
further  proves that the excess stock will be held by a trustee  appointed by us
in trust  (i) for the  person  or  persons  to whom the  shares  are  ultimately
transferred,  until such time as the shares  are  re-transferred  to a person or
persons  in whose  hands  the  shares  would not be  excess  stock  and  certain
price-related  restrictions  are  satisfied,  and (ii) with  respect to dividend
rights (and rights to funds in excess of the amounts  paid to the  holder),  for
the benefit of a charitable  beneficiary appointed by us. Our board of directors
may,  in its sole and  absolute  discretion,  exempt  certain  persons  from the
ownership  limitations contained in our charter if ownership of shares of common
stock by such persons would not disqualify us as a REIT under the Code.

     Certain  Anti-Takeover   Effects.  Our  charter  and  bylaws  also  contain
provisions that may be deemed to have anti-takeover  effects.  For example,  our
charter (i) does not allow for cumulative voting by stockholders;  (ii) provides
for a classified  board of  directors,  and (iii)  contains  limitations  on the
amount of our  securities  that any  person  can own.  In  addition,  our bylaws
contain  provisions  that (i) give our board of directors the exclusive power to
fill  vacancies on the board and provide  that any  director so  appointed  will
serve  for the  remaining  term of that  directorship;  (ii)  give our board the
exclusive  power to determine  the numbers of directors;  (iii) require  advance
notice of any stockholder  nominations for director and proposals of business by
stockholders to be conducted at the meeting; (iv) limit stockholders' ability to
call a special  meeting;  (v) give our board of directors the exclusive power to
amend our bylaws;  (vi) require  approval of  two-thirds of the shares to remove
directors for cause; (vii) require our board of directors to have at least three
independent directors as defined by Section 3-802 of the MGCL which allows us to
opt into certain statutory  anti-takeover  provisions;  and (viii)  specifically
opt-into the business  combination  provisions  of the MGCL (with the  exception
that


                                      II-3

such  provisions  do  not  apply  to  transactions  with  Monmouth  Real  Estate
Investment Corporation or Monmouth Capital Corporation,  which are affiliates of
us).  Additionally,  our  charter  provides  that  our  board of  directors  may
authorize additional shares of capital stock and may classify or reclassify only
unissued  capital  stock,  including  classification  into shares of  preference
stock,  without  stockholder action. Such stock could be issued in such a way as
to have anti-takeover effects.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     United  Mobile  Homes,  Inc.  (the  "Company") is organized in the State of
Maryland. The Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") permits a corporation to
include in its charter a provision  limiting the  liability of its directors and
officers to the  corporation and its  stockholders  for money damages except for
liability  resulting from (i) actual receipt of an improper  personal benefit or
profit in money,  property or services or (ii) active and deliberate  dishonesty
established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action.

     The MGCL  requires  a  corporation  to  indemnify  its  present  and former
directors or officers who have been successful,  on the merits or otherwise,  in
the defense of any  proceeding  to which the person is made a party by reason of
his or her service in that capacity. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify
its present and former  directors and officers in connection with any proceeding
to which  they may be made a party by reason of their  service in those or other
capacities  unless  it is  established  that  (i)  the  act or  omission  of the
indemnified  party was material to the matter giving rise to the  proceeding and
(a) was  committed  in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and  deliberate
dishonesty,  (ii) the indemnified  party actually  received an improper personal
benefit in money,  property  or  services  or (iii) in the case of any  criminal
proceeding,  the indemnified  party had reasonable cause to believe that the act
or omission was unlawful.

     The indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements
and  reasonable  expenses  actually  incurred  by the  director  or  officer  in
connection with the proceeding; provided, however, that if the proceeding is one
by or in the right of the Maryland corporation,  indemnification may not be made
in respect of any  proceeding in which the director or officer has been adjudged
to be liable to the corporation.

     In  addition,  a director or officer of a Maryland  corporation  may not be
indemnified with respect to any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to
the  director or officer in which the  director  or officer  was  adjudged to be
liable  on  the  basis  that  personal  benefit  was  improperly  received.  The
termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment  creates a
rebuttal  presumption  that the  director or officer did not meet the  requisite
standard of conduct required for permitted  indemnification.  The termination of
any  proceeding by judgment,  order or  settlement,  however,  does not create a
presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite  standard of
conduct for permitted indemnification.


                                      II-4

     As a condition  to  advancing  expenses  to a director  who is a party to a
proceeding, the MGCL requires the Company to obtain (a) a written affirmation by
the  director or officer of his or her good faith  belief that he or she has met
the standard of conduct necessary for  indemnification  by the Company and (b) a
written  statement  by or on his or her  behalf  to  repay  the  amount  paid or
reimbursed  by the Company if it is ultimately  determined  that the standard of
conduct was not met.

     The  Company's  Articles of  Incorporation  provide  that the Company  must
indemnify  its directors  and  officers,  whether  serving the Company or at its
request any other entity,  to the full extent  required or permitted by Maryland
law,  including  the advance of expenses  under the  procedures  and to the full
extent  permitted  by law. The  Company's  Articles of  Incorporation  contain a
provision which limits a director's or officer's  liability for monetary damages
to the Company or its stockholders.

     The Company has entered into Indemnification  Agreements with its directors
and certain  officers  which  generally  provide that the Company is required to
indemnify  any  director or officer who was, is or becomes a party to or witness
or other participant in: (i) any threatened,  pending or completed action,  suit
or  proceeding  in which  such  director  or  officer  may be or may  have  been
involved,  as a party or  otherwise,  by reason of the fact that the director or
officer  was  acting in his or her  capacity  as a  director  or  officer of the
Company;  or (ii) any inquiry,  hearing or  investigation  that such director or
officer in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action,
suit or proceeding against any and all expenses, to the fullest extent permitted
by law.

TEM  9. UNDERTAKINGS

     The Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file,  during any period in which  offers or sales are being made, a
post, effective amendment to this registration statement:

               (a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
          Securities Act of 1933;

               (b) To  reflect  in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising
          after the effective  date of the  registration  statement (or the most
          recent post-effective amendment thereto) which, individually or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the  registration  statement.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  any
          increase  or decrease  in volume of  securities  offered (if the total
          dollar  value of  securities  offered  would not exceed that which was
          registered)  and  any  deviation  from  the  low  or  high  end of the
          estimated  maximum  offering  range  may be  reflected  in the form of
          prospectus  filed with the  Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
          the aggregate,  the changes in volume and price represent no more than
          a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate  offering price set forth
          in the  "Calculation  of  Registration  Fee"  table  in the  effective
          registration statement;

               (c) To include any material  information with respect to the plan
          of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
          or any  material  change  to  such  information  in  the  registration
          statement.

               Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply
          if the  registration  statement  is on Form S-3 or Form  S-8,  and the
          information  required to be included in a post-effective  amendment by
          those  paragraphs  is  contained  in  periodic  reports  filed with or
          furnished to the Securities and Exchange  Commission by the Registrant
          pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
          of  1934  that  are  incorporated  by  reference  in the  registration
          statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933,  each  such  post-effective  amendment  shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (4) That,  for purposes of determining  any liability  under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the  Registrant's  annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or  Section  15(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  (and,  where
applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934) that is  incorporated  by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration


                                      II-6

statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such
securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  bona fide  offering
thereof.

     (5) That,  insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the Registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  Registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities  Act of 1933 and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim  for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than the
payment of the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling  person of the Registrant in the  successful  defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,  officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered,  the Registrant will, unless
in the  opinion  of its  counsel  the matter  has been  settled  by  controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification  by it is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities  Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final  adjudication  of such
issue.


                                      II-7

                                   Signatures

     Pursuant to the  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies  that it has  reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that it meets  all the
requirements  for  filing  on Form S-8 and has  duly  caused  this  Registration
Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized,  in the Township of Freehold,  State of New Jersey on the 9th day of
October, 2003:
