UMH PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES


UMH Properties, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us” or “the Company”) owns and operates fifty-five manufactured home communities containing approximately 10,400 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.


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 nine months ended September 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

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 $225,424 and $441,368 have been recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively and, $100,870 and $199,020 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.


On August 29, 2012, the Company granted 94,000 shares of stock options to fifteen participants under the Plan.  The exercise price is $11.29 and the expiration date is August 29, 2020.


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, 2012 and 2011:

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.  


On August 31, 2012, the Company awarded 40,000 shares of restricted stock grants to four participants under the Plan, including 10,000 shares to Eugene W. Landy.  The grant date fair value of restricted stock grants awarded to participants was approximately $446,800.  This grant vests over 5 years.  Since Mr. Landy is of retirement age, compensation costs for his grant were recognized at time of grant.


On September 14, 2012, the Company awarded 10,000 shares of restricted stock grants to ten participants under the Plan, including 1,000 shares to Eugene W. Landy.  The grant date fair value of restricted stock grants awarded to participants was approximately $117,900.  This grant vests over 5 years.  Since Mr. Landy is of retirement age, compensation costs for his grant were recognized at time of grant.

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:

LIBOR + 3.25%

$11,191,096


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 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 September 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 ($276,972) 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



11






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.


Reclassifications


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


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 71,806 and 63,727 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, are included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  Options in the amount of 56,143 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, are included in the diluted weighted shares outstanding.  As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, options to purchase 586,000 and 547,000 shares, respectively, were antidilutive.

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 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 September 30, 2012, the fair and carrying value of fixed rate mortgages payable amounted to $93,696,639 and $91,465,829, 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.

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 September 30, 2012, the Company owned fifty-five communities containing approximately 10,400 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.


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.  However, activity in our communities has recently increased.  Occupancy has increased from 77% at year-end to 80% currently.  We have seen an increase in sales during 2012.  We are also seeing increased demand for rental units and during 2012, have added a net of approximately 220 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 $53,567,433 at September 30, 2012, which earns dividend and interest income.  The dividends received from our securities investments were at a weighted-average yield of approximately 6.5% as of September 30, 2012.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized gains on sales of securities of $3,495,730.  At September 30, 2012, the Company had net unrealized gains of $7,577,828 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 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



20






two years, we added twelve manufactured home communities, encompassing approximately 2,100 developed homesites, to our portfolio. During fiscal 2012, we acquired 15 manufactured home communities totaling approximately 1,500 sites.  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 $25.7 million and intends to use the net proceeds to purchase additional properties, including the acquisitions of the 14 communities which closed throughout the quarter, and for other general corporate purposes, including possible repayment of indebtedness.


On October 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of its 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at an offering price of $25.50 per share in a registered direct placement.  The Company received net proceeds from the offering, after the placement agent’s fee and other estimated offering expenses, of approximately $31 million and intends to use the net proceeds to purchase additional properties in the ordinary course of business, including its pending acquisition, and for other general corporate purposes, including possible repayment of indebtedness.


See PART I, Item 1 – Business in the Company’s 2011 annual report on Form 10-K 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.  


Changes In Results Of Operations


Rental and related income increased 16% from $8,482,122 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $9,836,479 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  Rental and related income increased 12% from $24,460,311 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $27,503,514 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2011 and 2012, and an increase in rental home income.  Occupancy increased from 77% at year-end to 80% currently.


Sales of manufactured homes amounted to $2,350,189 and $1,182,455 for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Sales of manufactured homes amounted to $6,718,129 and $3,826,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $2,103,234 and $1,061,969 for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $6,143,637 and $3,519,974 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Selling expenses amounted to $540,831 and $638,649 for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  This decrease is related to a decrease in provision for bad debts and a decrease in travel and other selling expenses.  Selling expenses amounted to $1,600,576 and $1,514,416 for the nine months ended September 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



21






expenses) amounted to $293,876 or 13% of total sales, and $518,163 or 44% of total sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Loss from the sales operations amounted to $1,026,084 or 15% of total sales, and $1,207,990 or 32% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The gross profit percentage was 11% and 10% for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The gross profit percentage was 9% and 8% for the nine months ended September 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 14% from $4,649,061 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $5,293,777 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Community operating expenses increased 13% from $13,248,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $14,967,951 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2011 and 2012 and an increase in personnel and related costs. General and administrative expenses increased 12% from $1,132,796 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $1,266,191 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  General and administrative expenses increased 20% from $3,124,761 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $3,756,257 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to an increase in compensation and related costs.  Acquisition costs increased from $25,813 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $483,119 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Acquisition costs increased from $161,439 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $753,060 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Acquisition costs relate to transaction and due diligence costs associated with the acquisitions of the communities.  Depreciation expense increased 22% from $1,580,906 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $1,930,158 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Depreciation expense increased 20% from $4,371,441 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $5,231,579 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2011 and 2012.  


Interest income remained relatively stable for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Dividend income increased 27% from $653,954 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $830,303 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Dividend income increased 39% from $1,725,969 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $2,404,045 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to an increase in securities available for sale.  The average balance of the securities portfolio was approximately $48,400,000 and $33,800,000 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  


Gain on securities transactions, net amounted to $1,214,664 and $486,087 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Gain on securities transactions, net amounted to $3,495,730 and $2,027,943 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The market for REIT securities has continued to improve.  At September 30, 2012, the Company had net unrealized gains of $7,577,828 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 $52,195 and $36,656 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Other income amounted to $607,454 and $61,898 for the nine


22






months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  This increase was primarily due to the amount received on an oil and gas lease on a community.


Interest expense increased 23% from $1,374,601 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $1,689,112 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  This increase is due to the new loan for the eleven community acquisition. Interest expense remained relatively stable for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.    


Amortization of financing costs remained relatively stable for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  


Income from community operations amounted to $4,542,702 and $3,833,061 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Income from community operations amounted to $12,535,563 and $11,211,356 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  This increase is primarily due to the acquisitions during 2011 and 2012.

 

Changes in Financial Condition


Total investment property and equipment increased 25% or $50,546,495 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 15 communities for a purchase price of $39,650,000.  The Company also added approximately 220 rental units.


Securities available for sale increased 24% or $10,269,219 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase was due to purchases of securities available for sale of $14,258,362 and an increase in the unrealized gain of $5,116,523.  These increases were partially offset by sales with an adjusted cost of $9,105,666.

 

Inventory of manufactured homes increased 24% or $2,431,013 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The Company is seeing increased activity in our communities and is optimistic about future sales and rental prospects.


Mortgages payable increased 18% or $16,652,052 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was due to two new mortgages totaling $25,380,000 mortgage partially offset by principal repayments of $8,727,948, including the payoffs of our mortgages on Port Royal Village and Sandy Valley totaling approximately $6,646,000.


On April 10, 2012, the Company issued 1,075,000 shares of its preferred stock at an offering price of $25.292 per share, including accrued dividends, in an underwritten public offering.  The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $25.7 million and intends to use the net proceeds to purchase additional properties, including the acquisitions of the 14 communities which closed during the quarter, and for other general corporate purposes, including possible repayment of indebtedness.


On October 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of its 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at an offering price of $25.50 per share, including accrued



23






dividends, in a registered direct placement.  


The Company also raised $12,912,296 from the issuance of common stock in the DRIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which included dividend reinvestments of $1,023,366.  Dividends paid on the common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $8,667,289 of which $1,023,366 was reinvested.  On October 1, 2012, the Company declared a dividend of $.18 per share to be paid December 17, 2012 to common shareholders of record as of November 15, 2012.  


Dividends paid on the preferred stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2,865,650.  This was net of $313,900 of accrued dividends on the newly issued preferred shares.  On October 1, 2012, the Company declared a preferred dividend of $.515625 per share to be paid on December 17, 2012 to preferred shareholders of record as of November 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 $4,710,629 and $5,575,472 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company had cash of $4.4 million, securities available for sale of $53.6 million, $5 million available on its unsecured line of credit, and $8 million available on its revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and the purchase of inventory.  The Company owns 55 properties, of which 24 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.




24






The Company has one mortgage with a balance of approximately $7,500,000 maturing in 2013.  The Company is in the process of refinancing 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is calculated as follows:
