 (1)  Non-GAAP Information:  Funds from Operations (FFO) is defined as net income excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable assets, plus depreciation.  FFO per share is defined as FFO divided by the weighted average shares outstanding.  FFO and FFO per share should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by real estate investment trust (REITs).  FFO and FFO per share exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost basis.  The items excluded from FFO and FFO per share are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance.  FFO and FFO per share (1) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (2) should not be considered as alternatives to net income or net income per share as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (3) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.  FFO and FFO per share, 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:

Samuel A. Landy, President, stated, “FFO amounted to $2,804,000 or $0.17 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $1,337,000 or $0.09 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  Occupancy increased 100 basis points from year end from 77% to 78% at June 30, 2012.  We have seen an increase in sales during 2012.  We have also seen an increase in demand for rental units and are meeting this demand.  Our securities portfolio has continued to perform well, with $2.3 million in gains realized thus far in 2012 and an additional $9.8 million in unrealized gains at quarter end.”  


“UMH has continued to execute its growth plan.  In April, we issued 1,075,000 shares of our 8.25% Series A Preferred Stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $26 million.  Subsequent to quarter end, in July, we acquired a 123-site community in New Middletown, Ohio for a purchase price of $3.4 million, and in August, we acquired 11 communities, ten located in Pennsylvania and one located in New York, for a total purchase price of $28.3 million.   We invest with a long-term perspective and believe that our sector is well poised to benefit from a resurgent housing market.”


 

UMH, a publicly-owned REIT, owns and operates fifty-three manufactured home communities located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Indiana.  In addition, the Company owns a portfolio of REIT securities.
