References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the &#8220;Codification&#8221;). </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(a)&#160;Basis of Consolidation</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Company consolidates its majority-owned subsidiaries in which it has the ability to control the operations of the subsidiaries and all variable interest entities with respect to which it is the primary beneficiary. The Company also consolidates entities in which is has a controlling direct or indirect voting interest. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January&#160;1, 2009, the purchase price of Properties is accounted for in accordance with the Codification Topic &#8220;Business Combinations&#8221; (&#8220;FASB ASC 805&#8221;). </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Company has applied the Codification Sub-Topic &#8220;Variable Interest Entities&#8221; (&#8220;FASB ASC 810-10-15&#8221;). The objective of FASB ASC 810-10-15 is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (&#8220;VIE&#8221;) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements. Prior to January&#160;1, 2010, a company that held a variable interest in an entity was required to consolidate such entity if the company absorbed a majority of the entity&#8217;s expected losses or received a majority of the entity&#8217;s expected residual returns if they occur, or both (i.e., the primary beneficiary). The Company also applied the Codification Sub-Topic &#8220;Control of Partnerships and Similar Entities&#8221; (&#8220;FASB ASC 810-20&#8221;), which determines whether a general partner or the general partners as a group controls a limited partnership or similar entity and therefore should consolidate the entity. Beginning January&#160;1, 2010, the Codification Sub-Topic ASC 810-10-15 adopted amendments to the variable interest consolidation model described above. The requirement to consolidate a VIE as revised in this amendment is based on the qualitative analysis considerations for primary beneficiary determination which requires a company consolidate an entity determined to be a VIE if it has both of the following characteristics: (1)&#160;the power to direct the principal activities of the entity and (2)&#160;the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company applies FASB ASC 810-10-15 and FASB ASC 810-20 to all types of entity ownership (general and limited partnerships and corporate interests). </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Company applies the equity method of accounting to entities in which the Company does not have a controlling direct or indirect voting interest or is not considered the primary beneficiary, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions. The cost method is applied when (i)&#160;the investment is minimal (typically less than 5%) and (ii)&#160;the Company&#8217;s investment is passive. </div> <!-- Folio --> <!-- /Folio --> </div> <!-- PAGEBREAK --> <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><i>(b)&#160;Use of Estimates</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Since each Property has similar economic and operational characteristics, the Company has one reportable segment, which is the operation of land lease Properties. The distribution of the Properties throughout the United States reflects the Company&#8217;s belief that geographic diversification helps insulate the portfolio from regional economic influences. The Company intends to target new acquisitions in or near markets where the Properties are located and will also consider acquisitions of Properties outside such markets. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(d)&#160;Real Estate</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;In accordance with FASB ASC 805, which is effective for acquisitions on or after January&#160;1, 2009, the Company recognizes all the assets acquired and all the liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value. The Company also expenses transaction costs as they are incurred.

The Company also considers information obtained about each Property as a result of its due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Real estate is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company generally uses a 30-year estimated life for buildings acquired and structural and land improvements (including site development), a ten-year estimated life for building upgrades and a five-year estimated life for furniture, fixtures and equipment. New rental units are generally depreciated using a 20-year estimated life from each model year down to a salvage value of 40% of the original costs. Used rental units are generally depreciated based on the estimated life of the unit with no estimated salvage value. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The values of above-and below-market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease. The value associated with in-place leases is amortized over the expected term, which includes an estimated probability of lease renewal. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred and significant renovations and improvements that improve the asset and extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized over their estimated useful life. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets, including its investments in real estate, for impairment indicators.

A Property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. Subsequent to the date that a Property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded. The Company accounts for its Properties held for disposition in accordance with the Codification Sub-Topic &#8220;Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets&#8221; (&#8220;FASB ASC 360-10-35&#8221;).

The Company amortizes identified intangible assets and liabilities that are determined to have finite lives over the period the assets and liabilities are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Discounts or premiums are amortized to income using the interest method. In certain cases the Company finances the sales of homes to its customers (referred to as &#8220;Chattel Loans&#8221;) which loans are secured by the homes. The valuation of an allowance for doubtful accounts for the Chattel Loans is calculated based on delinquency trends and a comparison of the outstanding principal balance of each note compared to the N.A.D.A.

The fair value of these Contracts Receivable includes an estimate of losses that are expected to be incurred over the estimated remaining lives of the receivables, and therefore no allowance for losses was recorded for these Contracts Receivable as of the transaction date. Through March&#160;31, 2011, the credit performance of these Contracts Receivable has generally been consistent with the assumptions used in determining its initial fair value, and the Company&#8217;s original expectations regarding the amounts and timing of future cash flows has not changed. The carrying amount of these Contracts Receivable as of March&#160;31, 2011 and 2010 was $2.9&#160;million and $7.4&#160;million, respectively. A probable decrease in management&#8217;s expectation of future cash collections related to these Contracts Receivable could result in the need to record an allowance for credit losses in the future.

A right-to-use contract gives the customer the right to a set schedule of usage at a specified group of Properties. Customers may choose to upgrade their contracts to increase their usage and the number of Properties they may access. A contract requires the customer to make annual payments during the term of the contract and may require an upfront nonrefundable payment. The stated term of a right-to-use contract is at least one year and the customer may renew his contract by continuing to make the annual payments. The Company will recognize the upfront non-refundable payments over the estimated customer life which, based on historical attrition rates, the Company has estimated to be from one to 31&#160;years. For example, the Company has currently estimated that 7.9% of customers who enter a new right-to-use contract will terminate their contract after five years. Therefore, the upfront nonrefundable payments from 7.9% of the contracts entered in any particular period are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years as five years is the estimated customer life for 7.9% of the Company&#8217;s customers who enter a contract. The historical attrition rates for upgrade contracts are lower than for new contracts, and therefore, the nonrefundable upfront payments for upgrade contracts are amortized at a different rate than for new contracts.

The Company believes the litigation was settled by the City&#8217;s agreement to amend the ordinance to permit adjustments to market rent upon turnover. The City subsequently rejected the settlement agreement. The Court refused to enforce the settlement agreement and submitted to a jury the claim that it had been breached. In October 2002, a jury found no breach of the settlement agreement. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Company&#8217;s constitutional claims against the City were tried in a bench trial during April 2007. On April&#160;17, 2009, the Court issued its Order for Entry of Judgment in the Company&#8217;s favor (the &#8220;April&#160;2009 Order&#8221;). On June&#160;10, 2009, the Court ordered the City to pay the Company net fees and costs of approximately $2.1&#160;million. On June&#160;30, 2009, as anticipated by the April&#160;2009 Order, the Court entered final judgment that gradually phased out the City&#8217;s site rent regulation scheme that the Court found unconstitutional. Pursuant to the final judgment, existing residents of the Company&#8217;s Property in San Rafael will be able to continue to pay site rent as if the Ordinance were to remain in effect for a period of ten years, enforcement of the Ordinance was immediately enjoined with respect to new residents of the Property, and the Ordinance will expire entirely ten years from the June&#160;30, 2009 date of judgment. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The City and residents&#8217; association (which intervened in the case) appealed, and the Company cross-appealed.

The effect of the judgment was to invalidate, on state law grounds, two rent control ordinances the City of Santee had enforced against the Company and other property owners. However, the Court allowed the City to continue to enforce a rent control ordinance that predated the two invalid ordinances (the &#8220;prior ordinance&#8221;). As a result of the judgment the Company was entitled to collect a one-time rent increase based upon the difference in annual adjustments between the invalid ordinance(s) and the prior ordinance and to adjust its base rents to reflect what the Company could have charged had the prior ordinance been continually in effect. The City of Santee appealed the judgment. The City and the tenant association also each sued the Company in separate actions alleging that the rent adjustments pursuant to the judgment violated the prior ordinance (Case Nos. GIE 020887 and GIE 020524), sought to rescind the rent adjustments, and sought refunds of amounts paid, and penalties and damages in these separate actions. As a result of further proceedings and a series of appeals and remands, the Company was required to and did release the additional rents to the tenant association&#8217;s counsel for disbursement to the tenants, and the Company has ceased collecting the disputed rent amounts. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The tenant association continued to seek damages, penalties and fees in their separate action based on the same claims the City made on the tenants&#8217; behalf in the City&#8217;s case. The Company moved for judgment on the pleadings in the tenant association&#8217;s case on the ground that the tenant association&#8217;s case is moot in light of the result in the City&#8217;s case. On November&#160;6, 2008, the Court granted the Company&#8217;s motion for judgment on the pleadings without leave to amend. The tenant association appealed. In June&#160;2010, the Court of Appeal remanded the case for further proceedings, ruling that (i)&#160;the mootness finding was not correct when entered but could be reasserted after the amounts held in escrow have been disbursed to the residents; (ii)&#160;there is no basis for the tenant association&#8217;s punitive damage claim or its claim under the California Mobile Home Residency Law; and (3)&#160;the trial court should consider certain of the tenant association&#8217;s other claims. On remand, at the trial court&#8217;s suggestion, the parties agreed to a trial of the remanded issues based on stipulated written facts.

The Company answered the complaint by denying all material allegations and filed a counterclaim for declaratory relief and damages. The case proceeded in Superior Court because the Company&#8217;s motion to compel arbitration was denied and the denial was upheld on appeal. Trial of the case began on July&#160;27, 2010. After just over three months of trial in which the plaintiffs asked the jury to award a total of approximately $6.8 million in damages, the jury rendered verdicts awarding a total of less than $44,000 to six out of the 72 plaintiffs, and awarding nothing to the other 66 plaintiffs. The plaintiff&#8217;s who were awarded nothing filed a motion for a new trial or alternatively for judgment notwithstanding the jury&#8217;s verdict, which the Court denied on February&#160;14, 2011. The Company has filed a memorandum of costs that seeks a costs award of approximately $0.2&#160;million, and has filed a motion that seeks an attorneys&#8217; fees award of approximately $2.1&#160;million. Despite the jury&#8217;s verdict awarding less than $44,000 to only 6 plaintiffs, the plaintiffs have filed a memorandum of costs that seeks a costs award of approximately $56,000, and has filed a motion that seeks an attorneys&#8217; fees award of approximately $0.8&#160;million. The Company intends to vigorously oppose any award of costs or attorneys&#8217; fees to the plaintiffs.

The Company moved to compel arbitration and stay the proceedings, to dismiss the case, and to strike portions of the complaint. By order dated October&#160;8, 2009, the Court granted the Company&#8217;s motion to compel arbitration and stayed the court proceedings pending the outcome of the arbitration.

The Company also brought claims against Aon Risk Services, Inc. of Illinois (&#8220;Aon&#8221;), the Company&#8217;s former insurance broker, regarding the procurement of appropriate insurance coverage for the Company. The Company is seeking declaratory relief establishing the coverage obligations of its carriers, as well as a judgment for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unfair settlement practices and, as to Aon, for failure to provide ordinary care in the selling and procuring of insurance.

On or about January&#160;28, 2008, the Company filed its Second Amended Complaint (&#8220;SAC&#8221;), which the insurers have answered. In response to the court&#8217;s dismissal of the SAC&#8217;s claims against Aon, the Company ultimately filed, on February&#160;2, 2009, a new Count VIII against Aon alleging a claim for breach of contract, which Aon answered. In January&#160;2010, the parties engaged in a settlement mediation, which did not result in a settlement. In June&#160;2010, the Company filed motions for partial summary judgment against the insurance companies seeking a finding that our hurricane debris cleanup costs are within the extra expense coverage of our excess insurance policies. On December&#160;13, 2010, the Court granted the motion.

The suit alleges that, at the time of the PA Transaction, the Company and other named defendants willfully failed to pay former California employees of Privileged Access and its affiliates (&#8220;PA&#8221;) who became employees of the Company all of the wages they earned during their employment with PA, including accrued vacation time. The suit also alleges that the Company improperly &#8220;stripped&#8221; those employees of their seniority. The suit asserts claims for alleged violation of the California Labor Code; alleged violation of the California Business &#038; Professions Code and for alleged unfair business practices; alleged breach of contract; alleged breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing; and for alleged unjust enrichment. The original complaint sought, among other relief, compensatory and statutory damages; restitution; pre-judgment and post-judgment interest; attorney&#8217;s fees, expenses and costs; penalties; and exemplary and punitive damages. The complaint did not specify a dollar amount sought. The Court granted in part without leave to amend and in part with leave to amend the Company&#8217;s motions seeking dismissal of the plaintiff&#8217;s original complaint and various amended complaints. Discovery is proceeding on the remaining claims in the third amended complaint. On February&#160;15, 2011, the Court granted plaintiff&#8217;s motion for class certification.

The complaint asserts on behalf of a putative class of Washington employees of PA who became employees of the Company substantially similar allegations as are alleged in the California class action. The Company moved to dismiss the complaint. On April&#160;3, 2009, the court dismissed: (1)&#160;the first cause of action, which alleged a claim under the Washington Labor Code for failure to pay accrued vacation time; (2)&#160;the second cause of action, which alleged a claim under the Washington Labor Code for unpaid wages on termination; (3)&#160;the third cause of action, which alleged a claim under the Washington Labor Code for payment of wages less than entitled; and (4)&#160;the fourth cause of action, which alleged a claim under the Washington Consumer Protection Act. The court did not dismiss the fifth cause of action for breach of contract, the sixth cause of action of the breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing; and the seventh cause of action for unjust enrichment. On May&#160;22, 2009, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on the causes of action not previously dismissed, which was denied. With leave of court, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, the material allegations of which the Company denied in an answer filed on September&#160;11, 2009.
