FORM 10-Q/A

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

Explanatory Note

On March 8, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Affordable Residential Communities Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the Company should restate its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006, to correct the allocation of income taxes (intra-period tax allocation) between continuing operations and discontinued operations for the first three quarters of 2006, as more fully described below. The Company does not expect any aggregate income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The above corrections do not have an adverse impact on any covenants associated with the Company’s debt facilities.  As a result of the restatement, we are amending our originally filed Form 10-Q.

This amended report does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-Q except for the following: (1) amounts have been recast for discontinued communities; (2) in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, our basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding have been increased by a factor of approximately 1.06 to reflect the dilutive impact of our January 2007 rights offering in which ten million shares of our common stock were purchased by our stockholders at the below-market price of $8.00 per share; and (3) the items reflected in Note 14 — Subsequent Events.  This filing should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the initial reports.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), requires that a company with a loss from continuing operations consider all items reported apart from continuing operations (for example extraordinary items, discontinued operations and other comprehensive income) in determining the tax benefit that results from a loss from continuing operations. In our case, because we had a loss from continuing operations and a gain from discontinued operations in each of the periods referenced above, in accordance with SFAS 109 and Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D32, Intra-period Tax Allocation of the Tax Effect of Pre-Tax Income from Continuing Operations, we should have considered the gain from discontinued operations in determining the amount of tax benefit to allocate to continuing operations.    However, we originally determined the allocation of income taxes (intra-period allocation) between continuing and discontinued operations using a “with and without” methodology. That is, we did not believe that a tax benefit resulted from the loss from continuing operations because we did not believe there was an incremental benefit from the loss generated from our continuing operations. Additionally, we believed that the gain from discontinued operations did not attract a tax consequence.

In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods — An Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 28, the tax benefit recognized in continuing operations is calculated using an effective rate methodology and therefore will be provided for over the course of the year. The tax expense recognized in discontinued operations is recognized on a discrete basis and therefore the entire amount of tax expense is recognized at the time the pretax gain on the discontinued operations is recognized.  This mismatch in the timing of the recognition of tax benefits and expense resulted in a restatement of the net loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006.

We have also updated our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, as reflected in Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(unaudited)

1.            Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

Affordable Residential Communities Inc. is a Maryland corporation that is engaged in the acquisition, renovation, repositioning and operation of primarily all-age manufactured home communities, the retail sale and financing of manufactured homes, the rental of manufactured homes and other related businesses including acting as agent in the sale of homeowners’ insurance and related products, all exclusively to residents in our communities. We were organized in July 1998 and operate primarily through Affordable Residential Communities LP (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP”) and its subsidiaries, of which we are the sole general partner and owned 96.5% as of June 30, 2006.

On March 30, 2006, the Company elected not to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for the year ending December 31, 2006 primarily because, in certain circumstances, gains on sales of properties that the Company realized in 2006 could have resulted in a Federal income tax liability equal to the amount of the gain for Federal income tax purposes (a 100% tax rate) if the Company had elected to remain a REIT.

As of June 30, 2006, we owned and operated 275 communities (excluding five communities classified as discontinued operations, see Note 10) consisting of 57,240 homesites (net of 1,108 homesites classified as discontinued operations) in 23 states with occupancy of 83.5%. Our five largest markets are Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, with 12.5% of our total homesites; Atlanta, Georgia, with 8.7% of our total homesites; Salt Lake City, Utah, with 6.6% of our total homesites; the Front Range of Colorado, with 5.7% of our total homesites; and Kansas City-Lawrence-Topeka, with 4.2% of our total homesites. We also conduct a retail home sales business.

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ARC”. Our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ARC-PA”. We have no public trading history prior to February 12, 2004.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts.

The interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The December 31, 2005 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Current Report on Form 8-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed on October 5, 2006.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of our accounts, which include the results of operations of the manufactured home communities acquired only for the periods subsequent to the date of acquisition.  We have eliminated all significant inter-company balances and transactions.

We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Rental and Other Property

We carry rental property at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize significant renovations and improvements that extend the useful life of assets and depreciate them over their estimated remaining useful lives. We expense maintenance and repairs as incurred.  Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the various classes of rental property assets are as follows:

Asset Class

 

Estimated Useful
Lives (Years)

 

 

 

 

 

Manufactured home communities and improvements

 

10 to 30

 

Buildings

 

10 to 20

 

Rental homes

 

10 or rent-to-own term

 

Furniture and other equipment

 

5

 

Computer software and hardware

 

3

 

 

We evaluate the recoverability of our investment in rental property whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the net book value of the asset is questionable. Our assessment of the recoverability of rental property includes, but is not limited to, recent operating results and expected net operating cash flows from future operations. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of rental property may be impaired, we perform an evaluation of recoverability in which we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if an impairment adjustment is required. If this review indicates that the asset’s carrying amount will not be fully recoverable, we will reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. We recorded no impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Restricted Stock Grants

During 2004 we granted 95,000 shares of restricted common stock that vest over five years. In June 2004, 42,500 of these restricted shares were forfeited and in October 2004, an additional 37,500 shares of restricted stock were forfeited pursuant to the terms of their issuance, leaving 15,000 restricted shares outstanding. During both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 3,000 shares vested leaving 9,000 shares unvested at June 30, 2006.  We have recorded the unvested portion of the remaining 9,000 outstanding restricted shares as of June 30, 2006 in additional paid-in capital and are amortizing the balance ratably over the vesting period.  We recorded $14,000 and $28,000, respectively, in compensation expense related to these restricted shares during both of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.  In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) (see Recent Statements of Financial Accounting Standards below) unearned compensation continues to be amortized over the vesting period but is now included as part of additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.  We expect that there will be no forfeitures of the unvested restricted stock outstanding at June 30, 2006.

We consider the number of vested shares issued under our 2003 equity incentive plan as common stock outstanding and include them in the denominator of our calculation of basic earnings per share. We also consider the total number of unvested restricted shares granted under our 2003 equity incentive plan in the denominator of our calculation of diluted earnings per share if they are dilutive. We return shares forfeited to the 2003 equity incentive plan as shares eligible for future grant and adjust any compensation expense previously recorded on such shares in the period the forfeiture occurs.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of the temporary difference between the tax basis and book basis of assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that their benefits are not expected to be realized.  At June 30, 2006, a valuation allowance of $74.9 million was recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be recoverable.

We allocate income taxes between continuing and discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”), particularly paragraph 140.  We recognize interim income tax benefits in continuing operations on the effective rate method and income tax expense in discontinued operations without such pro-ration in accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin 28, Interim Financial Reporting (“APB 28”) and FASB Interpretations 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods — An interpretation of APB Opinion No. 28 (“FIN 18”).

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and Comprehensive Loss

Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2005 represent unrecognized gains on our interest rate swap, which qualified as a cash flow hedge and was marked to market over the life of the instrument.  Including these unrecognized gains or losses, our comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $2.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively, compared with a comprehensive loss of $18.5 million and $34.1 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2005.  Our interest rate swap agreement expired in February 2006 and was not renewed.

Recent Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”).  SFAS No. 123(R) became effective on January 1, 2006 and we have adopted the standard using the modified prospective method.  Since our only share based payments are nominal restricted stock issuance and shares issued to members of the board of directors as compensation, the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a material impact on our financial position as of June 30, 2006 or our operations or cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

2.              Restatement

On March 8, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Affordable Residential Communities Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the Company should restate its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006, to correct the allocation of income taxes (intra-period tax allocation) between continuing operations and discontinued operations for the first three quarters of 2006, as more fully described below. The Company does not expect any aggregate income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The above corrections do not have an adverse impact on any covenants associated with the Company’s debt facilities.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), requires that a company with a loss from continuing operations consider all items reported apart from continuing operations (for example extraordinary items, discontinued operations and other comprehensive income) in determining the tax benefit that results from a loss from continuing operations. In our case, because we had a loss from continuing operations and a gain from discontinued operations in each of the periods referenced above, in accordance with SFAS 109 and Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D32, Intra-period Tax Allocation of the Tax Effect of Pre-Tax Income from Continuing Operations, we should have considered the gain from discontinued operations in determining the amount of tax benefit to allocate to continuing operations.    However, we originally determined the allocation of income taxes (intra-period allocation) between continuing and discontinued operations using a “with and without” methodology. That is, we did not believe that a tax benefit resulted from the loss from continuing operations because we did not believe there was an incremental benefit from the loss generated from our continuing operations. Additionally, we believed that the gain from discontinued operations did not attract a tax consequence.

In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods — An Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 28, the tax benefit recognized in continuing operations is calculated using an effective rate methodology and therefore will be provided for over the course of the year. The tax expense recognized in discontinued operations is recognized on a discrete basis and therefore the entire amount of tax expense is recognized at the time the pretax gain on the discontinued operations is recognized.  This mismatch in the timing of the recognition of tax benefits and expense resulted in a restatement of the net loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006.

The impact of the restatement on our consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations is outlined in the table below (dollars in thousands).  This restatement did not have an impact on our cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities or periods prior to 2006.  The previously reported amounts have been recast for discontinued communities.  However, the associated amounts were not separately reflected as they were considered immaterial to the presentation. Intra-period taxes are included in tenant deposits and other liabilities.  In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, our basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding have been increased by a factor of approximately 1.06 to reflect the dilutive impact of our January 2007 rights offering in which ten million shares of our common stock were purchased by our stockholders at the below-market price of $8.00 per share.

3.            Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Minority Interest Related Transactions

On March 2, 2006, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.515625 per share for its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and $0.39 per unit on the Series C Preferred Operating Partnership Units of Affordable Residential Communities LP. The dividends were paid on April 28, 2006 to shareholders of record on April 14, 2006.  On June 8, 2006, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.515625 per share for its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and $0.39 per unit on the Series C Preferred Operating Partnership Units of Affordable Residential Communities LP. The dividends were paid on July 28, 2006 to shareholders of record on July 14, 2006. The Board reviews the payment of dividends on a quarterly basis.

At June 30, 2006, minority interest consisted of 1,503,093 OP Units that were issued to various limited partners and 705,688 preferred partnership units (“PPUs”) issued on June 30, 2004 as part of the D.A.M. portfolio acquisition. Each OP Unit outstanding is paired with 1.9268 shares of our special voting stock (each a “Paired Equity Unit”) that allows each holder to vote an OP Unit on matters as if it were a common share of our stock. Each OP Unit is redeemable for cash, or at our election, convertible into one share of our common stock.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we converted approximately 14,000 and 328,000 OP Units, respectively, for an equal number of shares of our common stock valued at $141,400 and $3.2 million, respectively.

The PPUs outstanding as of June 30, 2006 consist of 705,688 Series “C” units.  The Series “C” PPUs carry a liquidation preference of $25 per unit and earn cash distributions at the rate of 6.25% per annum, payable quarterly.  The Series “C” PPUs can be redeemed at the option of the Operating Partnership for cash after the fifth anniversary of their issuance.  Series “C” PPU holders can request redemption of their units after the two and a half year anniversary of issuance, at which time the Operating Partnership must redeem the PPUs or repurchase them with common stock, cash and/or a note payable, at the Operating Partnership’s option.  As of June 30, 2006, we had accrued $183,773 of the Series “C” PPU preferred distribution, representing the portion of the preferred distribution earned by Series “C” preferred unitholders through that date.

 We have recorded an equity transfer adjustment between additional paid-in capital and the minority interest in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 to account for changes in the respective ownership in the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership.

Senior Variable Rate Mortgage Due 2007

In February 2006, we extended the maturity of our Senior Variable Rate Mortgage to February 2007 in accordance with the terms of the mortgage. On July 11, 2006, we entered into a $230 million mortgage debt facility.  Approximately $117 million of the proceeds were used to repay our Senior Variable Rate Mortgage.  The Loan Agreement is comprised of two components (collectively, the “Loan”): a $170 million 10-year fixed rate mortgage debt component and a $60 million 3-year floating rate mortgage debt component with two one-year (no-fee) extension options.   The fixed rate component bears interest at 6.239% and requires interest-only payments for the term of the loan.  The floating rate component is adjusted monthly, bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 80 basis points and requires interest-only payments for the term of the loan.

Various Individual Fixed Rate Mortgages

We have assumed various individual fixed rate mortgages in connection with the acquisition of various properties that were encumbered at the time of acquisition as follows:

a)              Mortgages assumed as part of individual property purchases. These notes total approximately $39.8 million at June 30, 2006, mature from 2006 ($5.2 million in 2006) through 2028 and have an average effective interest rate of 7.46%. These mortgages are secured by 13 specific manufactured home communities.

Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility

On July 11, 2006, we entered into a $230 million mortgage debt facility.  Approximately $59 million of the proceeds were used to repay our Revolving Credit Mortgage Facility.  The Loan Agreement is comprised of two components (collectively, the “Loan”): a $170 million 10-year fixed rate mortgage debt component and a $60 million 3-year floating rate mortgage debt component with two one-year (no-fee) extension options.   The fixed rate component bears interest at 6.239% and requires interest-only payments for the term of the loan.  The floating rate component is adjusted monthly, bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 80 basis points and requires interest-only payments for the term of the loan.

Floorplan Lines of Credit

Our floorplan line of credit provides for borrowings of up to $35.0 million, secured by manufactured homes in inventory. Under the lines of credit, the lender will advance 75% of the cost of manufactured homes. Repayments of borrowed amounts are due upon sale or lease of the related manufactured home. Advances under the lines of credit bear interest ranging from the prime rate plus 0.75% to the prime rate plus 4.00% (averaging 9.00% at June 30, 2006) based on the length of time each advance has been outstanding. Monthly curtailment payments are required for unsold homes beginning 360 days following the purchase of the home. The required curtailment payment will be between 3.00% and 5.00% of the home’s original invoice amount depending on the type of home and the number of months since the home’s purchase. The lines of credit require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 3 to 1, and minimum cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million, all as defined in the agreement.  The minimum tangible net worth required is $425.0 million through December 31, 2006, and $385.0 million from January 1, 2007 through September 13, 2007, the due date of the line.  We are in compliance with all financial covenants of the line of credit as of June 30, 2006. The line of credit is subject to an annual commitment fee of $250,000, an unused line fee of .25% per annum and a termination fee of 1.00% to 3.00%, based on the termination date.

Trust Preferred Securities Due 2035

On March 15, 2005, the Company issued $25.8 million in unsecured trust preferred securities. The $25.8 million trust preferred securities bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.25% (8.73% at June 30, 2006).  Interest on the securities is paid on the 30th of March, June, September and December of each year.  The Company may redeem these securities on or after March 30, 2010 in whole or in part at principal amount plus accrued interest. The securities are mandatorily redeemable on March 15, 2035 if not redeemed sooner.

Consumer Finance Facility

The Consumer Finance Facility has a total commitment of $125.0 million and a term of four years.  This facility is an obligation of a subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, and borrowings under this facility are secured by manufactured housing conditional sales contracts. Borrowings under the facility are limited by specified borrowing base requirements related to the value of the collateral securing the facility ($19.3 million as of June 30, 2006). The facility bears interest at a variable rate based upon a spread of 3.00% over the one-month LIBOR (8.33% at June 30, 2006).  During the quarter, we paid a commitment fee of 1.00% on the original committed amount and 0.75% of the amended committed amount and will pay additional annual commitment fees payable on each anniversary of the closing. Advances under the facility are subject to a number of conditions, including certain underwriting and credit screening guidelines and the conditions that the home must be located in one of our communities, the loan term may not exceed 12 years for a single-section home or 15 years for a multi-section home and the loan amount shall not exceed 90% of the value of the home securing the conditional sales contract.

The line of credit requires the Operating Partnership to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 3 to 1, and minimum cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million, all as defined in the agreement.  The minimum tangible net worth required is $425.0 million through December 31, 2006, $385.0 million from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and $355.0 million from January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008.  We were in compliance as of June 30, 2006 with all financial covenants under the line of credit.

The availability of advances under the Consumer Finance Facility is subject to certain conditions that are beyond our control. Conditions that could result in our inability to draw on these facilities include a downgrade in the credit rating of the lender and the absence of certain markets for financing debt obligations secured by securities or mortgage loans. Funding under this facility may also be denied if the lender determines that the value of the assets serving as collateral would be insufficient to maintain the required 75% loan-to-value ratio upon giving effect to a request for funding. The lender can also at any time require that we prepay amounts funded or provide additional collateral if, in its judgment, this is necessary to maintain the 75% loan-to-value ratio.

Lease Receivables Facility

The Company has a $150.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Lease Receivables Facility”) which we use to finance the purchase of manufactured homes and for general corporate purposes.  Pursuant to the agreement, borrowings are limited to approximately 65% of the net book value of the eligible manufactured housing units owned by two of our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, ARC Housing LLC and ARC HousingTX LP (collectively, “Housing”) and located in ARC’s communities, subject to certain other applicable borrowing base requirements.  The facility bears interest at a variable rate based on a spread of 4.125% over the one-month LIBOR (9.46% at June 30, 2006).  The facility matures September 30, 2008.

The line of credit requires the Operating Partnership to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 3 to 1, and minimum cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million, all as defined in the agreement.  The minimum tangible net worth required is $425.0 million through December 31, 2006, $385.0 million from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and $355.0 million from January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008.  We were in compliance as of June 30, 2006 with all financial covenants under the amended line of credit.  Borrowings under the Lease Receivables Facility are secured by an assignment of all lease receivables and rents, an assignment of the underlying manufactured homes and a pledge by ARCHC LLC and ARC Housing GP LLC of 100% of the outstanding equity in Housing.  Interest is payable monthly.

Senior Exchangeable Notes Due 2025

In August 2005, our Operating Partnership issued $96.6 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% senior exchangeable notes due 2025 to qualified institutional buyers in a private transaction.  The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the OP and are exchangeable, at the option of the holders, into shares of ARC common stock at an initial exchange rate of 69.8812 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (equal to an initial exchange price of approximately $14.31 per share), subject to adjustment and, in the event of specified corporate transactions involving ARC or the OP, an additional make-whole premium. Upon exchange, the OP shall have the option to deliver, in lieu of shares of ARC common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of ARC common stock.

Prior to August 20, 2010, the notes are not redeemable at the option of the OP. After August 20, 2010, the OP may redeem all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes, if the closing price of ARC common stock has exceeded 130% of the exchange price for at least 20 trading days in any consecutive 30-trading day period.

Holders of the notes may require the OP to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes on each of August 15, 2010, August 15, 2015, and August 15, 2020, or after the occurrence of certain corporate transactions involving ARC or the OP.

In connection with the sale and issuance of the notes, ARC is required to maintain the effectiveness of a registration rights agreement with the SEC with respect to the notes after February 5, 2006 (or 180 days following the issuance of the notes) or pay liquidated damages to the holders of the notes for each day following the date of ineffectiveness equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the principal amount of the notes for the first 90 days following the ineffectiveness and 0.50% thereafter.  ARC obtained the initial declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement on May 8, 2006 and incurred liquidated damages of $64,400 reflected in interest expense.

We have determined that, subsequent to the initial declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement, it is unlikely that events will occur that could trigger the payment of any additional liquidated damages and, accordingly, have assigned a nominal value to the liquidated damages provision.

D.A.M. PPU Notes Payable Due 2006

According to the terms of our Series “B” PPUs, in July 2005 the Series “B” PPU holders requested redemption of their units, and the Operating Partnership elected to repurchase them for approximately $2.5 million in cash and notes payable totaling approximately $5.0 million.  A principal payment of approximately $2.5 million plus interest accrued at 7.00% was made on January 18, 2006 and the final payment of approximately $2.5 million plus interest accrued was made on July 18, 2006.

6.              Income (loss) per share

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, our basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding have been increased by a factor of approximately 1.06 to reflect the impact of our January 2007 rights offering in which ten million shares of our common stock were purchased by our stockholders at the below-market price of $8.00 per share.  The following reflects the calculation of income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis (in thousands, except per share information):

10.          Discontinued Operations

As of December 31, 2005, we held 41 communities as discontinued operations.  As of June 30, 2006, we had closed sales for 36 of these communities, comprising $77.0 million of cash proceeds net of related debt, defeasance and other closing costs of $59.6 million.  Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we closed an additional four communities for $8.4 million of cash proceeds net of related debt, defeasance and other closing costs of $15.4 million.  We expect to close the remaining sales transaction in 2007. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will close the remaining community sale, or, if it closes, that it will close on the terms set forth in its contract.

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” each of the communities designated as held for sale and not sold have been classified as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. We have included $30.4 million and $132.3 million of assets related to these communities as assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, and $21.3 million and $56.8 million, respectively, of mortgage notes payable and other obligations related to these communities as liabilities related to assets held for sale. In addition, we have recast the operations of each of these communities as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.  In connection with sales of our discontinued operations, we recorded gains of $15.6 million and $25.9 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, and a loss of $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

11.          Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, from time to time we are involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of our properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such legal actions, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  In the normal course of business, from time to time we incur environmental obligations relating to the ownership and operation of our properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such environmental obligations, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

13.          Income Taxes

At June 30, 2006, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards for Federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limitations, of approximately $348 million and $332 million for regular income tax and alternative minimum tax, respectively. These net operating loss carry-forwards expire in 2018 through 2025.  Losses from continuing operations during the quarter and six months only partially offset the regular taxable earnings from discontinued operations for the quarter and six months ending June 30, 2006 due to the allocation of intra-period taxes as discussed below. The net operating loss carry-forwards for alternative minimum Federal income taxes generally are limited to offsetting 90% of the alternative minimum taxable earnings for a given period.

Based on our estimated composite Federal and state tax rate of 40%, we recorded as of June 30, 2006, a deferred tax asset of approximately $148.5 million less a valuation allowance reserve of approximately $74.3 million and deferred tax liabilities of approximately $74.2 million.  We could experience circumstances in the future that result in a non-cash income tax benefit based on the timing of recognition of the tax benefit of our operating losses carried forward from prior years.  Under current IRS rules, we can elect to return to REIT status after five years.  There can be no assurances that the tax laws and regulations will not change or that we will change our REIT election status in five years.

The Company does not expect to have aggregate income tax benefits or expense for the year ended December 31, 2006.  We allocate income taxes between continuing and discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”), particularly paragraph 140.  We recognize income tax benefits in continuing operations on the effective rate method and income tax expense in discontinued operations without such pro-ration in accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin 28, Interim Financial Reporting (“APB 28”) and FASB Interpretations 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods — An interpretation of APB Opinion No. 28 (“FIN 18”).

The following is a detail of the significant components of the provision for income taxes and a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the amount that would be computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate of 35% to income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

14.          Subsequent Events

Stockholder Rights Plan

On July 11, 2006, we entered into a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) under which one right was distributed as a dividend for each share of our common stock held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 17, 2006. The Rights Plan has been adopted as a means to preserve the use of previously accumulated net operating losses, as described below.  Effective with the revocation of our REIT election in March 2006, we have been taxed as a corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and our net income has been subject to taxation at regular (or alternative minimum) corporate rates without the benefit of a dividends paid deduction.  We have net operating losses (“NOLs”) from prior years that are expected to offset substantially our taxable income, if any. Therefore, the preservation of such NOLs is the key to minimizing our U.S. Federal income tax liability.  U.S. Federal income tax law imposes significant limitations on the ability of a corporation to use its NOLs to offset income in circumstances where such corporation has experienced a “change in ownership.” Generally, there is a change in ownership if, at any time, one or more 5% shareholders have aggregate increases in their ownership in the corporation of more than 50 percentage points looking back over the prior three year period. One of the principal reasons for adopting the Rights Plan is to preserve the use of the NOLs by dissuading investors from aggregating ownership in ARC and triggering such a change in ownership. The Rights Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood of a change in ownership by, among other things, discouraging any person or group from acquiring additional shares such that they would beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any effort to acquire control of the Company.  To help preserve the benefit of the NOLs, we intend to submit for stockholder approval an amendment to our charter to restrict certain acquisitions of our common stock so as to reduce the likelihood of triggering a change in ownership. The Board of Directors intends to terminate the Rights Plan if the charter amendment is approved.  Under the Rights Plan, each right initially will entitle stockholders to purchase a fraction of a share of preferred stock at a purchase price of $50.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Plan. Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in the Rights Plan, the rights generally will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 5% or more of our common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which such person or group would beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock. Unless earlier terminated, the rights will expire on July 17, 2016.

Refinancing

On July 11, 2006, six indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, as co-borrowers, entered into a $230 million mortgage debt facility with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc.  Approximately $175 million of the proceeds of the loan were used to repay other debt.  The loan agreement is comprised of two components; a $170 million 10-year fixed rate mortgage debt component and a $60 million 3-year floating rate mortgage debt component with two one-year (no-fee) extension options.   The fixed rate component bears interest at 6.239% and requires interest-only payments for the term of the loan.  The floating rate component is adjusted monthly, bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 80 basis points and requires interest-only payments for the term of the loan.  The loan is secured by 59 manufactured housing communities located in 18 states as well as an assignment of leases and rents associated with the mortgaged property.  The loan is non-recourse with the exception that the repayment of the indebtedness is guaranteed pursuant to a guaranty of non-recourse obligations in the event of declaration of bankruptcy; interference with any of the lenders rights, and asset transfers and other activities in violation of the loan documents.  Under the provisions of the loan agreement, we have the right to prepay any portion of the floating rate component, with or without release of the mortgaged property, without penalty.  Subsequent to a prepayment of the entire floating rate component of the loan, we have the option to prepay a fixed portion of the loan subject to prepayment fees, yield maintenance or defeasance in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

Stock Option Grants

On July 27, 2006, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of non-qualified stock option awards to certain senior executive officers of the Company pursuant to our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.   Larry D. Willard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was granted options to purchase up to 200,000 shares; James Kimsey, President and Chief Operating Officer, was granted options to purchase up to 140,000 shares; Lawrence R. Kreider, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was granted options to purchase up to 80,000 shares; and Scott L. Gesell, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, was granted options to purchase up to 80,000 shares, in each case at an exercise price of $10.74, the closing price of ARC’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant.  The options have a term of ten years from the date of the award.  Under the terms of the grants, the options vest ratably over a three-year period with the first third of the award amount vesting on the first anniversary of the award, the second third vesting on the second anniversary date of the award, and the balance vesting on the third anniversary date of the award.  Vesting is accelerated in certain circumstances, including in the event of the death of the award recipient or in the event of a change of control of the Company.

Redemption of Series “C” PPUs

                In January 2007, all 705,688 units of our Series “C” PPUs were redeemed according to their terms for 1,628,410 shares of ARC common stock.

Acquisition of NLASCO, Inc.

On January 31, 2007, we acquired all of the stock of NLASCO, Inc. (“NLASCO”), a privately held property and casualty insurance holding company, and its subsidiaries.  In exchange for the stock, NLASCO’s shareholders, consisting of C. Clifton Robinson and affiliates, received $105.75 million in cash and 1,218,880 shares of ARC common stock for a total consideration of $117.5 million.  In addition, Flexpoint Fund, L.P., a fund managed by Flexpoint Partners, LLC of Chicago, Illinois, invested $20 million to purchase 2,154,763 shares of common stock of the Company at the leading ten-day average market price of our common stock on the date the agreement was signed, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions.  The acquisition closed on January 31, 2007.

In order to raise $80 million to provide a source of funding for a portion of the acquisition of NLASCO, we conducted a rights offering to our stockholders.  In the rights offering, all holders of ARC common stock as of the record date of December 19, 2006 received one non-transferable right to purchase approximately 0.242 shares of common stock of the Company for each share held.  The price at which the additional shares were purchased was $8.00 per share.  The rights offering expired on January 23, 2007, and the company issued approximately 7.8 million shares of common stock to existing shareholders on that date.  In addition, Gerald J. Ford and certain affiliates controlled by him purchased approximately 1.8 million shares that they would have been entitled to in the rights offering in a separate private placement transaction.  Gerald J. Ford, one of the Company’s directors and the beneficial owner of approximately 17.6% of ARC’s common stock as of the record date, and certain of his affiliates also backstopped the rights offering and purchased another approximately 400,000 shares that were not purchased in the rights offering by the stockholders of record on the record date, at the rights offering price per share of $8.00.

23




 

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized, or even substantially realized, and that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us and our business or operations. Forward-looking statements made in this report speak as of the date hereof or as of the date specifically referenced in any such statement set forth herein. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements in this report.

GENERAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY

We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed corporation focused on the operation of primarily all-age manufactured home communities. We also conduct certain complementary business activities focused on improving and maintaining occupancy in our communities, including the rental of manufactured homes, the retail sale of manufactured homes, the financing of sales of manufactured homes and acting as agent in the sale of homeowners’ insurance and other related insurance products. We conduct substantially all of our activities through our Operating Partnership (“OP”), of which we are the sole general partner and in which we hold a 96.5% ownership interest as of June 30, 2006.

Beginning in 1995 our predecessors founded several companies under the name “Affordable Residential Communities” or “ARC” for the purpose of engaging in the business of acquiring, renovating, repositioning and operating manufactured home communities, as well as certain related businesses. We were formed in July 1998 as a Maryland corporation for the purpose of acting as the investment vehicle for and a co-general partner of our OP, the fourth real property partnership organized and operated by our co-founders. In May 2002, we completed a reorganization in which we acquired substantially all the other real property partnerships and other related businesses organized and operated by our predecessors and became the sole general partner of our OP.

RESTATEMENT

On March 8, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Affordable Residential Communities Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the Company should restate its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006, to correct the allocation of income taxes (intra-period tax allocation) between continuing operations and discontinued operations for the first three quarters of 2006, as more fully described below. The Company does not expect any aggregate income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The above corrections do not have an adverse impact on any covenants associated with the Company’s debt facilities.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), requires that a company with a loss from continuing operations consider all items reported apart from continuing operations (for example extraordinary items, discontinued operations and other comprehensive income) in determining the tax benefit that results from a loss from continuing operations. In our case, because we had a loss from continuing operations and a gain from discontinued operations in each of the periods referenced above, in accordance with SFAS 109 and Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D32, Intra-period Tax Allocation of the Tax Effect of Pre-Tax Income from Continuing Operations, we should have considered the gain from discontinued operations in determining the amount of tax benefit to allocate to continuing operations.  However, we originally determined the allocation of income taxes (intra-period allocation) between continuing and discontinued operations using a “with and without” methodology. That is, we did not believe that a tax benefit resulted from the loss from continuing operations because we did not believe there was an incremental benefit from the loss generated from our continuing operations. Additionally, we believed that the gain from discontinued operations did not attract a tax consequence.

In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods — An Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 28, the tax benefit recognized in continuing operations is calculated using an effective rate methodology and therefore will be provided for over the course of the year. The tax expense recognized in discontinued operations is recognized on a discrete basis and therefore the entire amount of tax expense is recognized at the time the pretax gain on the discontinued operations is recognized.  This mismatch in the timing of the recognition of tax benefits and expense resulted in a restatement of the net loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006.

24




 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In the first six months of 2006, the Company closed on 36 previously contracted community sales transactions comprising $77.0 million of cash proceeds net of related debt, defeasance and other closing costs of $59.6 million.  We expect to close the remaining sales transaction 2007 and will continue to own and operate these communities through the date of sale. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will close all of the remaining community sales, or, if they close, that they will close on the terms set forth in the contract with respect to each.

On June 8, 2006, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.515625 per share for our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and $0.39 per unit on the Series C Preferred Operating Partnership Units of the OP. The dividends were paid on July 28, 2006 to shareholders of record on July 14, 2006. The Board reviews the payment of dividends on a quarterly basis.

On July 11, 2006 we entered into a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) under which one right was distributed as a dividend for each share of our common stock held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 17, 2006. The Rights Plan has been adopted as a means to preserve the use of previously accumulated net operating losses, as described below.  Effective with the revocation of our REIT election in March 2006, we have been taxed as a corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and our net income has been subject to taxation at regular (or alternative minimum) corporate rates without the benefit of a dividends paid deduction.  We have net operating losses (“NOLs”) from prior years that are expected to offset substantially our taxable income, if any. Therefore, the preservation of such NOLs is the key to minimizing our U.S. Federal income tax liability.  U.S. Federal income tax law imposes significant limitations on the ability of a corporation to use its NOLs to offset income in circumstances where such corporation has experienced a “change in ownership.” Generally, there is a change in ownership if, at any time, one or more 5% shareholders have aggregate increases in their ownership in the corporation of more than 50 percentage points looking back over the prior three year period. One of the principal reasons for adopting the Rights Plan is to preserve the use of the NOLs by dissuading investors from aggregating ownership in ARC and triggering such a change in ownership. The Rights Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood of a change in ownership by, among other things, discouraging any person or group from acquiring additional shares such that they would beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any effort to acquire control of the Company.  To help preserve the benefit of the NOLs, we intend to submit for stockholder approval an amendment to our charter to restrict certain acquisitions of our common stock so as to reduce the likelihood of triggering a change in ownership. The Board of Directors intends to terminate the Rights Plan if the charter amendment is approved.  Under the Rights Plan, each right initially will entitle stockholders to purchase a fraction of a share of preferred stock at a purchase price of $50.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Plan. Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in the Rights Plan, the rights generally will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 5% or more of our common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which such person or group would beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock. Unless earlier terminated, the rights will expire on July 17, 2016.

On July 11, 2006, six indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, as co-borrowers, entered into a $230 million mortgage debt facility with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc.  Approximately $175 million of the proceeds of the loan were used to repay other debt.  The loan agreement is comprised of two components; a $170 million 10-year fixed rate mortgage debt component and a $60 million 3-year floating rate mortgage debt component with two one-year (no-fee) extension options.   The fixed rate component bears interest at 6.239% and requires interest-only payments for the term of the loan.  The floating rate component is adjusted monthly, bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 80 basis points and requires interest-only payments for the term of the loan.  The loan is secured by 59 manufactured housing communities located in 18 states as well as an assignment of leases and rents associated with the mortgaged property.  The loan is non-recourse with the exception that the repayment of the indebtedness is guaranteed pursuant to a guaranty of non-recourse obligations in the event of declaration of bankruptcy; interference with any of the lenders rights, and asset transfers and other activities in violation of the loan documents.  Under the provisions of the loan agreement, we have the right to prepay any portion of the floating rate component, with or without release of the mortgaged property, without penalty.  Subsequent to a prepayment of the entire floating rate component of the loan, we have the option to prepay a fixed portion of the loan subject to prepayment fees, yield maintenance or defeasance in accordance with the

25




 

terms of the loan agreement.

On July 27, 2006, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of non-qualified stock option awards to certain senior executive officers of the Company pursuant to our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.   Larry D. Willard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was granted options to purchase up to 200,000 shares; James Kimsey, President and Chief Operating Officer, was granted options to purchase up to 140,000 shares; Lawrence R. Kreider, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was granted options to purchase up to 80,000 shares; and Scott L. Gesell, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, was granted options to purchase up to 80,000 shares, in each case at an exercise price of $10.74, the closing price of ARC’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant.  The options have a term of ten years from the date of the award.  Under the terms of the grants, the options vest ratably over a three-year period with the first third of the award amount vesting on the first anniversary of the award, the second third vesting on the second anniversary date of the award, and the balance vesting on the third anniversary date of the award.  Vesting is accelerated in certain circumstances, including in the event of the death of the award recipient or in the event of a change of control of the Company.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, net loss attributable to common stockholders was ($2.7) million (as restated) and ($9.8) million (as restated), or ($0.06) per share (as restated) and ($0.22) per share (as restated), respectively, as compared to net losses attributable to common stockholders of ($18.2) million and ($34.1) million, or ($0.42) per share and ($0.79) per share, for the same periods in 2005.  Revenue in our real estate segment increased to $58.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $51.6 million for the same period in 2005.  Real estate segment expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased to $21.3 million, as compared with $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.  As a result, real estate net segment income increased to $36.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $29.5 million for the same period in 2005. See Real Estate Net Segment Income included hereinafter in this section for definitions of real estate net segment income and for reconciliations of real estate net segment income to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Total portfolio occupancy averaged 83.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and averaged 82.8% and 82.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.  The following table summarizes our occupancy net activity for the three and six months ended June 30:

(a)             The Company removed a net 603 lots from its homesite count from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2006 as part of its ongoing review of operations.

On June 30, 2006, our total home inventory was 9,409 homes.  Results in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the same periods in 2005, reflect a change in sales and marketing programs that we implemented in the fourth quarter of 2005 to increase the sales pricing of our homes.  We continue to focus on affordable price points, marketing, training of our employees and the availability of chattel financing through our consumer finance program.   In the three months ended June 30, 2006, we sold 130 manufactured homes from our home inventory, compared with 902 for the same period in 2005.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND OPERATING STRATEGIES

Community and General Business Management.  We are currently focused on community operations. Historically, we focused more extensively on community acquisition opportunities.  Our principal business objectives are to achieve sustainable long-term growth in cash flow and to maximize returns to our investors. Generally we provide a clean, attractive and affordable place for our residents to live that is competitive with other forms of housing and provide real value and service to our residents.  We have established district and regional management that has a sufficiently limited span of control to allow for adequate focus on community operations. We operate against a detailed, bottom-up, budget against which we regularly compare our results throughout the year.  In our community operations, we are focused on rent levels, recovery of utility costs and control of expenses. In our marketing programs, we are focused on profitable programs in the sale and leasing of homes. We implemented procedures to increase the pricing of our home and leasing transactions. Our primary tools remain (i) our rental home program, including our lease with option to purchase program, (ii) our for-sale inventory and (iii) our consumer finance program. We took steps to down-size our sales and marketing organization in the fourth quarter of 2005 and terminated over 150 employees, primarily in sales management. Our other key operating objectives include the following:

                Customer Satisfaction and Quality Control.  Our goal is to meet the needs of our residents or prospective residents for housing alternatives in a clean and attractive environment at affordable prices.  We approach our business with a consumer product focus having an emphasis on value and quality to our residents and prospective residents. We have quality assurance programs executed through employee training and adherence to guidelines developed by our senior management, based in part upon surveys of our customers. Our customer focus and quality controls are designed to provide consistency and quality of product and to enable our community managers to effectively market our communities and improve resident satisfaction and retention across our portfolio.

Presence in Key Markets.  As of June 30, 2006, approximately 74% of our homesites are located in our 20 largest markets.  We believe we have a leading market share in 15 of these markets, based on number of homesites. A significant market share should enable us to (i) achieve operating efficiencies and economies of scale by leveraging our local property management infrastructure and other operating overhead over a larger number of communities and homesites, (ii) provide potential residents with a broader range of affordable housing options in their market, (iii) increase our visibility and brand recognition and leverage advertising costs and (iv) obtain more favorable terms and faster turnaround time on construction, renovation, repairs and home installation services. We believe the continuing significant size and geographic diversity of our portfolio reduces our exposure to risks associated with geographic concentration, including the risk of economic downturns or natural disasters in any one market in which we operate.

Management of Occupancy.  In response to challenging industry conditions, particularly the shortage of available consumer financing for the purchase of manufactured housing, we have several programs designed to have a favorable impact on occupancy, resident satisfaction and retention, and revenue and operating margins.  We focus on converting long-term renters into homeowners and improving occupancy through the sale of older homes for cash, the sale for cash or financing of newer homes and the leasing of newer homes with an option to purchase.

THE PROPERTIES

As of June 30, 2006, our portfolio consisted of 275 manufactured home communities (net of five communities classified as discontinued operations, see Note 10 in the accompanying financial statements) comprising 57,240 homesites located in 23 states and 58 markets, primarily oriented toward all-age living.  Our five largest markets are Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, with 12.5% of our total homesites; Atlanta, Georgia, with 8.7% of our total homesites; Salt Lake City, Utah, with 6.6% of our total homesites; the Front Range of Colorado, with 5.7% of our total homesites; and Kansas City-Lawrence-Topeka, Kansas, with 4.2% of our total homesites.

As of June 30, 2006, our communities had an occupancy rate of 83.5%, and the average monthly rental income per occupied homesite was $362. Homesite leases by homeowners generally are month-to-month, or in limited cases year-to-year, and require security deposits. In the case of our residents renting homes from us, lease terms are typically one year, and require a security deposit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenue.  Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $61.5 million, as compared to $68.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 10%. Rental income increased by $5.1 million, primarily as a result of $3.6 million from higher home renter rental income and $3.0 million from increased rental rates, partially offset by $1.5 million from decreased homeowner occupancy.  Revenue from the sale of manufactured homes decreased by $13.4 million as the Company sold 772 fewer homes in the second quarter of 2006, as compared to the same quarter last year.  We implemented a change in sales and marketing programs in the fourth quarter of 2005 to increase the sales pricing of our homes.  Utility and other income increased by $1.2 million due to increases in utilities expense and our increased focus on utility recovery.

Property Operations Expense.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006, total property operations expense was $16.3 million, as compared to $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 10%. The decrease primarily is due to decreases in: a) salaries and benefits of $1.4 million, or 22%, from decreased headcount; b) repairs and maintenance of $0.3 million, or 13%; c) bad debt expense of $0.2 million, or 40%; and d) other expenses of $0.7 million.  These decreases partially were offset by an increase in utilities and telephone expense of $0.8 million.

Real Estate Taxes Expense.  Real estate taxes expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $5.0 million, as compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.0 million or 23%. The increase primarily is due to higher property tax assessments.  A portion of the increase also relates to a higher number of manufactured homes subject to property tax assessments in the current year.

31




 

Cost of Manufactured Homes Sold.  The cost of manufactured homes sold, including sales commissions, was $2.6 million, or $19,700 per unit, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $14.7 million, or $16,300 per unit, for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $12.1 million.  The decrease primarily was due to the decrease in the number of manufactured homes sold, as discussed above. The Company recorded a net gain on the sale of manufactured homes of $0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Retail Home Sales, Finance and Insurance Expense.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006, total retail home sales, finance and insurance expense was $2.8 million as compared to $3.5 million for three months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $0.7 million. This decrease primarily is due to the down-sizing of our sales and marketing organization in which we terminated over 150 employees in the fourth quarter of 2005, primarily in sales management.

Property Management Expense.  Property management expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.6 million, as compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 33%. The decrease primarily is due to reduced advertising expenses and headcount reductions resulting in lower salaries and benefits and travel expenses.

General and Administrative Expense.  General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $5.0 million, as compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 22%. The decrease primarily was due to lower salaries and benefits and the related travel expenses, as well as a reduction in professional services resulting from Sarbanes-Oxley implementation costs incurred last year.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $21.8 million, as compared to $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $3.0 million, or 16%. The increase primarily is due to depreciation on the significant amount of mobile homes and community improvements placed in service during the latter half of 2005.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $20.0 million, as compared to $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $3.0 million, or 17%. The increase is due to a higher outstanding average debt balance of approximately $87 million, as well as higher effective weighted average interest rates on our variable rate debt.

Income Taxes.  The Company expects to have no aggregate income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2006.  However, we have restated our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to (a) provide for an intra-period income tax allocation whereby we recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $3.4 million (as restated) (including $1.2 million (as restated) deferred from the first quarter) and an income tax expense from discontinued operations of $6.5 million (as restated) in accordance with  SFAS No. 109 and (b) deferred the resulting income tax benefit from continuing operations to future interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate in accordance with APB 28 and FIN 18.

Minority Interest.  Minority interest for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.2 million (as restated) as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 74%. The decrease primarily was due to a decrease in the minority interest share of our net loss to 3.5% from 5.2% for the second quarter of 2005.

Discontinued Operations.  On December 15, 2005, the Company held an auction in which it offered 71 communities for sale.  The Company ultimately entered into contracts to sell 38 of these communities.  During 2006, the Company entered into contracts to sell another three communities.  During the second quarter of 2006, the Company closed nine of these transactions, comprising $42.8 million of cash proceeds net of related debt, defeasance and other closing costs of $25.3 million.  A gain of $15.6 million was recorded on the sales of these communities in the second quarter of 2006.

Preferred Stock Dividend.  On June 8, 2006, the ARC board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.5156 per share for each of the 5,000,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock.  This dividend, which was paid on July 28, 2006, amounted to $2.6 million.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the dividend declared also was $0.5156 per share, or $2.6 million.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders.  As a result of the foregoing, our net loss attributable to common stockholders was ($2.7) million (as restated) for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of ($18.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a reduction in net loss of $15.5 million or 85%.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenue.  Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $121.7 million, as compared to $127.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 4%. Rental income increased by $9.7 million, primarily as a result of $6.8 million from higher home renter rental income and $5.8 million from increased rental rates, partially offset by $2.9 million from decreased homeowner occupancy.  Revenue from the sale of manufactured homes decreased by $18.2 million as the Company sold 1,379 fewer homes in the first six months of 2006, as compared to the same period last year.  We implemented a change in sales and marketing programs in the fourth quarter of 2005 to increase the sales pricing of our homes.  Utility and other income increased by $2.8 million due to increases in utilities expense and our increased focus on utility recovery.

Property Operations Expense.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, total property operations expense was $32.7 million, as compared to $36.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 10%. The decrease primarily is due to decreases in: a) salaries and benefits of $1.9 million, or 16%, from decreased headcount; b) repairs and maintenance of $0.9 million, or 19%; c) bad debt expense of $0.5 million, or 41%; and d) other expense of $1.2 million.  These decreases partially were offset by an increase in utilities and telephone expense of $0.9 million.

Real Estate Taxes Expense.  Real estate taxes expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $10.2 million, as compared to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $2.2 million or 26%. The increase primarily is due to higher property tax assessments.  A portion of the increase also relates to a higher number of manufactured homes subject to property tax assessments in the current year.

Cost of Manufactured Homes Sold.  The cost of manufactured homes sold, including sales commissions, was $4.9 million, or $18,600 per unit, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $22.1 million, or $13,400 per unit, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $17.2 million.  The decrease primarily was due to the decrease in the number of manufactured homes sold, as discussed above. The Company recorded a net gain on the sale of manufactured homes of $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Retail Home Sales, Finance and Insurance Expense.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, total retail home sales, finance and insurance expense was $4.7 million as compared to $6.9 million for six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $2.2 million. This decrease primarily is due to the down-sizing of our sales and marketing organization in which we terminated over 150 employees in the fourth quarter of 2005, primarily in sales management.

Property Management Expense.  Property management expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3.2 million, as compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 30%. The decrease primarily is due to reduced advertising expenses and headcount reductions resulting in lower salaries and benefits and travel expenses.

General and Administrative Expense.  General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $9.4 million, as compared to $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 21%. The decrease primarily was due to lower salaries and benefits and the related travel expenses, as well as a reduction in professional services resulting from Sarbanes-Oxley implementation costs incurred last year.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $43.4 million, as compared to $35.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $8.3 million, or 24%. The increase primarily is due to depreciation on the significant amount of mobile homes and community improvements placed in service during the latter half of 2005.

Loss on Sale of Airplane.  During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company sold one of its two

33




 

aircraft for $1.2 million in cash, incurring a loss on the sale of approximately $0.5 million.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $39.6 million, as compared to $32.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $6.9 million, or 21%. The increase is due to a higher outstanding average debt balance of approximately $131 million, as well as higher effective weighted average interest rates on our variable rate debt.

Income Taxes.  The Company expects to have no aggregate income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2006.  However, we have restated our Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to (a) provide for an intra-period income tax allocation whereby we recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $4.6 million (as restated) (including $1.2 million (as restated) deferred from the first quarter) and an income tax expense from discontinued operations of $11.3 million (as restated) in accordance with  SFAS No. 109 and (b) deferred the resulting income tax benefit from continuing operations to future interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate in accordance with APB 28 and FIN 18.

Minority Interest.  Minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.4 million (as restated) as compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 66%. The decrease primarily was due to a decrease in the minority interest share of our net loss to 3.5% from 5.2% for the first six months of 2005.

Discontinued Operations.  On December 15, 2005, the Company held an auction in which it offered 71 communities for sale.  The Company ultimately entered into contracts to sell 38 of these communities.  During 2006, the Company entered into contracts to sell another three communities.  As of June 30, 2006 the Company has closed 36 of these transactions, comprising $77.0 million of cash proceeds net of related debt, defeasance and other closing costs of $59.6 million.  Gains of $25.9 million were recorded on the sales of these communities in the first six months of 2006.

Preferred Stock Dividend.  On March 2, 2006, the ARC board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.5156 per share for each of the 5,000,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, paid April 28, 2006.  On June 8, 2006, the ARC board of directors declared another quarterly cash dividend of $0.5156 per share for each of the 5,000,000 outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, paid July 28, 2006.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, these dividends totaled $5.2 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the dividends declared also were $0.5156 per share, or $5.2 million.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders.  As a result of the foregoing, our net loss attributable to common stockholders was $9.8 million (as restated) for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $34.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease in net loss of $24.3 million or 71%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2006, we had approximately $32.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $72.2 million available under the terms of the lease receivables line of credit.  This reflects the use of a significant portion of the excess net cash proceeds from the sale of 36 communities in the first six months of 2006 to repay certain mortgage and floorplan and other indebtedness.  As of June 30, 2006, we closed sales transactions for 36 of the 41 communities we held as discontinued as of December 31, 2005 obtaining cash proceeds of $77.0 million net of related debt repayment and defeasance and other costs of $59.6 million.

Our plan for the second half of 2006 is to (i) continue to manage our results against our detailed budget focused on operating effectiveness at the community level; (ii) adjust the price and cost structure, including commissions, of our marketing programs in the sales and leasing of homes; (iii) control our expense structure consistent with maintaining effective controls over the business; (iv) make capital expenditures as necessary and appropriate to keep our communities up to our standards; (v) purchase homes for sale or lease as demand warrants and funds permit; and (vi) consider potential acquisition opportunities to compliment and enhance our business.

Our short-term liquidity needs include funds for dividend payments on our $125 million Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock bearing a dividend rate of 8.25% per annum (approximately $10.3 million annually), funds for capital expenditures for our existing communities, funds for purchases of manufactured

34




 

homes and funds to service our debt.

We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs described above through net cash provided by operations, borrowings under our $35 million floorplan line of credit, borrowings under our $150 million lease receivables line of credit, borrowings under our $125 million consumer finance facility, net proceeds from the sales of communities and net proceeds from the July 2006 refinancing of our variable rate mortgage indebtedness described in Recent Developments.

Our ability to obtain funding from time to time under the lease receivables facility, the floorplan line of credit and the consumer finance debt facility will be subject to certain conditions, and we make no assurance that we will continue to meet any or all of these conditions in the future. If we are unable to meet the conditions necessary to continue funding under these facilities, we may not be able to fund operations, capital expenditures, manufactured home sale consumer loans, manufactured home purchases and distributions on our preferred stock and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements for the funding of potential acquisitions, purchases of additional rental homes, purchase, sale and financing of homes to new residents in our communities, funding of distributions on our preferred stock and other capital improvements through net cash provided by operations, borrowings under secured and unsecured indebtedness, retail home sales and potential other financing transactions.

We expect to refinance our indebtedness as or before it comes due.  On July 11, 2006, we entered into a $230 million mortgage debt facility in which we repaid approximately $175 million of our senior variable rate mortgage and our revolving credit mortgage facility and, with the additional $55 million, partially repaid our lease receivables facility and our consumer finance facility.  We also intend to use the excess funds to complete a partial defeasance of one of our communities that is held for sale.  As a result of the refinancing, we increased the proportion of our fixed rate debt to over 90% from 75% prior to the refinancing.  This refinancing also resulted in lower interest rates as compared with rates currently in effect on our senior variable rate mortgage, our revolving credit mortgage facility, our lease receivables facility and our consumer finance facility.

Based on present commitments and community sales plans, the Company believes it will be able to fund its debt service obligations, capital expenditures and home purchases from operating cash flows and the financing sources described above. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to complete the sales of the remaining communities currently held for sale, sell manufactured homes or refinance expiring credit lines.  Should we not be able to obtain sufficient funds for these purposes, we may determine that it is necessary to substantially defer or eliminate some or all of our objectives that require these funds, including home purchases, consumer loans, and non-recurring capital expenditures.

CASH FLOWS

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Cash provided by operations was $15.5 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operations for 2006 as compared to 2005 primarily was due to increased net segment income in the real estate segment, reduced net segment losses in the retail sales, finance and insurance segments and reduced property management and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in interest payments.

Cash provided by investing activities was $118.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with cash used in investing activities of $39.8 million in the same period in 2005.  The increase in cash from investing activities primarily was due to reduced community improvement spending by $30.6 million, increased net proceeds from the sale of communities by $74.7 million and reduced manufactured home purchases by $61.6 million.

Cash used in financing activities was $129.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $22.4 million in the same period in 2005.  The decrease in cash used in financing activities primarily was due to the repayment of $147.4 million of debt, primarily in relation to the sales of communities, in the first six months of 2006, compared with $94.4 million of debt repaid in the first six months of

35




 

2005.  Also, in the first six months of 2006 we received proceeds from the issuance of additional indebtedness of $30.5 million, as compared with $155.5 million in the first six months of 2005.  Partially offsetting this was the discontinuance of the payment of the common and OP unit dividends, which were paid in the first six months of 2005 but were not paid in the first six months of 2006.

INFLATION

Inflation in the U.S. has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Although the impact of inflation has been relatively insignificant in recent years, it remains a factor in the United States economy and may increase the cost of acquiring or replacing property, plant, and equipment and the costs of labor and utilities.

ITEM 3.                    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use some derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.

As of June 30, 2006, our total debt outstanding was approximately $1,063.2 million, comprised of approximately $796.7 million, or 75% of our total consolidated debt, subject to fixed interest rates and approximately $266.5 million, or 25% of our total consolidated debt, subject to variable interest rates.

If LIBOR and the prime rate were to increase by one eighth of one percent (0.125%), the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $333,000 annually.

Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

The fair value of debt outstanding as of June 30, 2006 was approximately $1,059.3 million.

ITEM 4.                    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has restated its interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 to correct its intra-period income tax accounting as presented in the original Form 10-Q for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006.  As a result of the restatement of its previously issued interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, management has assessed the impact of the restatement on its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006, as discussed below.

(b) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or other persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In light of the restatement referred to in (a) above, management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and financial officers, re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006.  Based on this re-evaluation and as a result of the identification of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2006.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management determined that the following control deficiency constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2006:

The Company did not maintain effective internal controls over the presentation of its income tax provision.   Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls to ensure that its intra-period income tax allocation between continuing and discontinued operations was in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2006.  Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the Company’s income tax provision that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

(c) Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness

We believe that the steps described below, which have already been taken in connection with the preparation of the December 31, 2006 financial statements, remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described in (b) above:

(1)          The Company plans to perform a more rigorous review of its income tax provision and related intra-period tax allocations in conjunction with the preparation of its interim and annual consolidated financial statements; and

(2)          The Company plans to perform a more rigorous review of its income tax disclosure requirements in conjunction with the preparation of its interim and annual consolidated financial statements.

 (d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
