1. We are required by GAAP to defer, over the estimated customer life, recognition of non-refundable upfront payments from sales of new and upgrade right-to-
use contracts. For 2017, the customer life is estimated to be 40 years and is based upon our experience operating the membership platform since 2008. The
amount shown represents the deferral of a substantial portion of current period upgrade sales, offset by amortization of prior period sales.
2. We are required by GAAP to defer recognition of commissions paid related to the entry of right-to-use contracts. The deferred commissions will be amortized
using the same method as used for the related non-refundable upfront payments from the entry of right-to-use contracts and upgrade sales. The amount shown
represents the deferral of a substantial portion of current period commissions on those contracts, offset by the amortization of prior period commissions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions and Other Terms
This document contains certain Non-GAAP measures used by management that we believe are helpful in understanding our
business, as further discussed in the paragraphs below. We believe investors should review these Non-GAAP measures along with
GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity
REIT’s operating performance. Our definitions and calculations of these Non-GAAP financial and operating measures and other
terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These Non-
GAAP financial and operating measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do
they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in
accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in
accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our
ability to make cash distributions.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO). We define FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and
actual or estimated losses from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairments, if any, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures
are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other
REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition
differently than we do. We receive up-front non-refundable payments from the entry of right-to-use contracts. In accordance with
GAAP, the upfront non-refundable payments and related commissions are deferred and amortized over the estimated customer life.
Although the NAREIT definition of FFO does not address the treatment of non-refundable right-to-use payments, we believe that it
is appropriate to adjust for the impact of the deferral activity in our calculation of FFO.
We believe FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, is generally a measure of performance for an equity REIT.
While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance for equity REITs, it does not represent cash flow from
operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to these indicators in evaluating
liquidity or operating performance.
NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (NORMALIZED FFO). We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding the
following non-operating income and expense items: a) the financial impact of contingent consideration; b) gains and losses from
early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance costs; c) property acquisition and other transaction costs
related to mergers and acquisitions; and d) other miscellaneous non-comparable items. Normalized FFO presented herein is not
necessarily comparable to Normalized FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies
use the same methodology for computing this amount.
FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION (FAD). We define FAD as Normalized FFO less non-revenue producing capital
expenditures.
We believe that FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity
REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairments, if any, and actual or estimated gains or
losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating
current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We
further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management because it allows them
to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a
consistent basis without having to account for differences not related to our operations. For example, we believe that excluding the
early extinguishment of debt, property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions from Normalized
FFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods because
these costs do not affect the future operations of the properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash
components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those
items.
INCOME FROM PROPERTY OPERATIONS, EXCLUDING DEFERRALS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. We
define Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management as rental income, utility income and right-to-
use income less property operating and maintenance expenses, real estate tax, sales and marketing expenses, property management
and the GAAP deferral of right-to-use contract upfront payments and related commissions, net. We believe that this Non-GAAP
financial measure is helpful to investors and analysts as a measure of the operating results of our manufactured home and RV
communities.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAX, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION (EBITDA) AND ADJUSTED EBITDA.
EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the following non-operating income and expense items: a) the financial impact of
contingent consideration; b) gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance costs;
c) property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions; d) GAAP deferral of right-to-use contract
upfront payments and related commissions, net; e) impairments, if any; and f) other miscellaneous non-comparable items. EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA provide us with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing
charges. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and
liquidity because the measures are widely used to measure a company’s operating performance and they are used by rating agencies
and other parties, including lenders, to evaluate our creditworthiness.

CORE. The Core properties include properties we owned and operated during all of 2016 and 2017. We believe Core is a measure
that is useful to investors for annual comparison as it removes the fluctuations associated with acquisitions, dispositions and
significant transactions or unique situations.
ACQUISITIONS. The Acquisition properties include all properties that were not owned and operated in 2016 and 2017. This
includes, but is not limited to, one property acquired during 2017, four properties acquired during 2016, and Tropical Palms RV
Resort.
INCOME FROM RENTAL OPERATIONS, NET OF DEPRECIATION. We use Income from rental operations, net of
depreciation as an alternative measure to evaluate the operating results of our home rental program. Income from rental operations,
net of depreciation, represents income from rental operations less depreciation expense on rental homes. We believe this
measure is meaningful for investors as it provides a complete picture of the home rental program operating results including the
impact of depreciation which affects our home rental program investment decisions.
NON-REVENUE PRODUCING IMPROVEMENTS. Represents capital expenditures that will not directly result in increased
revenue or expense savings and are primarily comprised of common area improvements, furniture, and mechanical improvements.
FIXED CHARGES. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, amortization of note premiums and debt issuance costs.
