occupancy will continue to be impacted by local economic conditions, lack of affordable
manufactured home financing, and competition from alternative housing options including site-built
single-family housing; our ability to maintain rental rates and occupancy with respect to
properties currently owned or pending acquisitions; our assumptions about rental and home sales
markets; the completion of pending acquisitions and timing with respect thereto; the effect of
interest rates as well as other risks indicated from time to time in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s
present expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, these
statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. The Company is
