Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The accompanying combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, for inclusion in Manufactured Home Communities, Inc.'s Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties' revenue and expenses. In our opinion, the combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

See accompanying notes. 2 17 Mobileparks West Notes to the Combined Statement of Revenue And Certain Expenses 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the six months ended June 30, 1997 (unaudited), were prepared for the purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Manufactured Home Communities, Inc. (the "Company"). The accompanying combined financial statements are not representative of the actual operations of the Properties for the periods presented as certain expenses, which may not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred by the Company in the proposed future operations of the Properties, have been excluded. Expenses excluded consist of interest, depreciation and amortization, and other costs not directly related to the future operations of the Properties. Basis of Combination The accompanying combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses has been presented on a combined basis because all of the Properties are commonly owned and managed by Mobile Parks West, the seller of the Properties. All inter-property balances and transactions have been eliminated in the combination. Use of Estimates The preparation of the combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue and Expense Recognition Revenue is recorded in the period in which it is earned. Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Unaudited Interim Statement In the opinion of management, the interim financial statement reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. 3 18 DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES The Company expects to acquire the following manufactured home communities ("MHC"s), office plaza and retail plaza, which are included in the combined statements of revenue and certain expenses:
