ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE


         As previously announced, Manufactured Home Communities, Inc. (NYSE:
MHC) acquired the 93% equity interest of National Home Communities ("NHC") in
entities owning 28 properties. PAMI filed a lawsuit disputing the authority of
NHC to enter into the transaction with MHC and a trial was held in mid-April
2004.

         On June 21, 2004, the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware in
Civil Action No. 259-N issued a Memorandum Opinion affirming NHC had the
authority to enter into the transaction with MHC.


         The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the Company's ability to
maintain rental rates and occupancy with respect to properties currently owned
or pending acquisitions; the Company's assumptions about rental and home sales
markets; the completion of pending acquisitions and timing with respect thereto;
the effect of interest rates as well as other risks indicated from time to time
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements
that become untrue because of subsequent events.

         Manufactured Home Communities, Inc. owns or has a controlling interest
in 209 quality communities in 23 states consisting of 80,028 sites. MHC is a
self-administered, self-managed, real estate investment trust (REIT) with
headquarters in Chicago.
