</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board,
commonly referred to as the “FASB.” The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) that the Company follows to ensure that the Company consistently reports its financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these
footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”).
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(a) Basis of Consolidation</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     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 1, 2009, the purchase price of Properties is accounted for in accordance with the
Codification Topic “Business Combinations” (“FASB ASC 805”).
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company has applied the Codification Sub-Topic “Variable Interest Entities” (“FASB ASC
810-10-15”). The objective of FASB ASC 810-10-15 is to provide guidance on how to identify a
variable interest entity (“VIE”) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling
interests, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company’s consolidated
financial statements. Prior to January 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’s
expected losses or received a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or
both (i.e., the primary beneficiary). The Company also applied the Codification Sub-Topic “Control
of Partnerships and Similar Entities” (“FASB ASC 810-20”), 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 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) the power to direct the
principal activities of the entity and (2) 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">     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) the investment is minimal (typically less than 5%) and (ii) the
Company’s investment is passive.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><i>(b) Use of Estimates</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All property and site counts
are unaudited.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(c) Markets</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company manages all of its operations on a property-by-property basis. 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’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) Real Estate</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     In accordance with FASB ASC 805, which is effective for acquisitions on or after January 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. Certain purchase price adjustments may be made within one year following any
acquisition and applied retroactively to the date of acquisition.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company
utilizes a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be available in connection
with the acquisition or financing of the respective Property and other market data. 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">     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">     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">     The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets, including its investments in real
estate, for impairment indicators. The Company’s judgments regarding the existence of impairment
indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions and legal
factors. Future events could occur which would cause the Company to conclude that impairment
indicators exist and an impairment loss is warranted.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     For long-lived assets to be held and used, including the Company’s investments in rental
units, if an impairment indicator exists, the Company compares the expected future undiscounted
cash flows for the long-lived asset against the carrying amount of that asset. If the sum of the
estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company would
record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying
amount of the asset.

</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     For Properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the
Property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the Property
measured at the time the Company has a commitment to sell the Property and/or is actively marketing
the Property for sale. 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 “Impairment or
Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (“FASB ASC 360-10-35”). Accordingly, the results of operations for
all assets sold or held for sale have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods
presented.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(e) Identified Intangibles and Goodwill</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company records acquired intangible assets at their estimated fair value separate and
apart from goodwill. 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. An impairment loss is
recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying amount
exceeds its estimated fair value.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets
acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a
reporting unit on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the asset might be impaired.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of identified intangible
assets and goodwill, a component of “Escrow deposits and other assets” on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets, were approximately $15.9 million, comprised of approximately $8.1
million of identified intangible assets and approximately $7.8 million of goodwill. Accumulated
amortization of identified intangible assets was approximately $2.0 million and $1.6 million as of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Estimated amortization of identified intangible assets for each of the next five years are as

maturity date, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash and cash
equivalents as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 include approximately $3.0 million of

</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Notes receivable generally are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of
any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, unamortized discounts or premiums, and an
allowance. 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 “Chattel Loans”) 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. (National Automobile Dealers Association) value and the current estimated market value
of the underlying manufactured home collateral.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company also provides financing for nonrefundable upfront payments on entering or upgrades
of right-to-use contracts (“Contracts Receivable”). Based upon historical collection rates and
current economic trends, when an up-front payment is financed, a reserve is established for a
portion of the Contracts Receivable balance estimated to be uncollectible. The reserve and the
rate at which the Company provides for losses on its Contracts Receivable could be increased or
decreased in the future based on its actual collection experience. (See Note 6 in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q.)
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     On August 14, 2008, the Company purchased Contracts Receivable that were recorded at fair
value at the time of acquisition of approximately $19.6 million under the Codification Topic “Loans
and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” (“FASB ASC 310-30”). 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 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’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 31, 2011 and 2010 was $2.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively. A
probable decrease in management’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
significant and probable increase in expected cash flows would generally result in an increase in
interest income recognized over the remaining life of the underlying pool of Contracts Receivable.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(i) Investments in Joint Ventures</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Investments in joint ventures in which the Company does not have a controlling direct or
indirect voting interest, but can exercise significant influence over the entity with respect to
its operations and major decisions, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting whereby
the cost of an investment is adjusted for the Company’s share of the equity in net income or loss
from the date of acquisition and reduced by distributions received. The income or loss of each
entity is allocated in accordance with the provisions of the applicable operating agreements. The
allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interests held by each
investor. See Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form
10-Q.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(j) Insurance Claims</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Properties are covered against losses caused by various events including fire, flood,
property damage, earthquake, windstorm and business interruption by insurance policies containing
various deductible requirements and coverage limits. Recoverable costs are classified in other
assets as incurred. Insurance proceeds are applied against the asset when received. Recoverable
costs relating to capital items are treated in accordance with the Company’s capitalization policy.
The book value of the original capital item is written off once the value of the impaired asset
has been determined. Insurance proceeds relating to the capital costs are recorded as income in
the period they are received.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Approximately 70 Florida Properties suffered damage from five hurricanes that struck the state
during 2004 and 2005. The Company estimates its total claim to be approximately $21.0 million and
has made claims for full recovery of these amounts, subject to deductibles.

through March 31, 2011. The proceeds were accounted for in accordance with the Codification Topic
“Contingencies” (“FASB ASC 450”). During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, approximately $0.4
million had been recognized as a gain on insurance recovery, which is net of approximately $0.2
million of contingent legal fees and included in income from other investments, net.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     On June 22, 2007, the Company filed a lawsuit related to some of the unpaid claims against
certain insurance carriers and its insurance broker. See Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of this lawsuit.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(k) Fair Value of Financial Instruments</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company’s financial instruments include short-term investments, notes receivable, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, and mortgage notes payable.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Codification Topic “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“FASB ASC 820”) establishes a
three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy
is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the
measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based
upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels
are defined as follows:
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical
assets or liabilities in active markets.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair
value measurement.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s investments in U.S. Treasury Bills of,
approximately $49.3 million and $52.3 million, respectively, were classified as held-to-maturity
and were measured using unadjusted quoted market prices (Level 1). The fair values of the
Company’s remaining financial instruments approximate their carrying or contract values.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(l) Deferred Financing Costs, net</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Deferred financing costs, net include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing.
The costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans on a level yield basis, which
approximates straight line. Unamortized deferred financing fees are written-off when debt is
retired before the maturity date. Upon amendment of the line of credit or refinancing of mortgage
debt, unamortized deferred financing fees are accounted for in accordance with, Codification
Sub-Topic “Modifications and Extinguishments” (“FASB ASC 470-50-40”). Accumulated amortization for
such costs was $13.2 million and $12.6 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><i>(m) Revenue Recognition</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company accounts for leases with its customers as operating leases. Rental income is
recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a customer’s stay, the majority
of which are for a term of not greater than one year. The Company will reserve for receivables
when it believes the ultimate collection is less than probable. The Company’s provision for
uncollectible rents receivable was approximately $3.4 million and $3.0 million as of March 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010, respectively.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company accounts for the entry of right-to-use contracts in accordance with the
Codification Topic “Revenue Recognition” (“FASB ASC 605”). 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 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’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 decision to
recognize this revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605 was made after corresponding during
September and October 2008 with the Office of the Chief Accountant at the SEC.

of 8,000,000 shares of 8.034% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the
“Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, at a

$200 million of previously issued series D and series F Perpetual Preferred OP Units. The Company
did not receive any proceeds from the offering.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company accounts for the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Codification Topic
“Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”). The Company has the option to redeem the Preferred Stock at a
redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. Holders of the
Preferred Stock have preference rights with respect to liquidation and distributions over the
common stock. Based on the Company’s analysis, the Preferred Stock has been classified as
redeemable interests outside of permanent equity in the mezzanine section.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     <i>City of San Rafael</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company sued the City of San Rafael in federal court, challenging its rent control
ordinance (the “Ordinance”) on constitutional grounds. The Company believes the litigation was
settled by the City’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">     The Company’s constitutional claims against the City were tried in a bench trial during April
2007. On April 17, 2009, the Court issued its Order for Entry of Judgment in the Company’s favor
(the “April 2009 Order”). On June 10, 2009, the Court ordered the City to pay the Company net fees
and costs of approximately $2.1 million. On June 30, 2009, as anticipated by the April 2009 Order,
the Court entered final judgment that gradually phased out the City’s site rent regulation scheme
that the Court found unconstitutional. Pursuant to the final judgment, existing residents of the
Company’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 30, 2009 date of judgment.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The City and residents’ association (which intervened in the case) appealed, and the Company
cross-appealed. The briefing schedule for the appeal has been set to conclude on October 24, 2011.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">     <i>City of Santee</i>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     In June 2003, the Company won a judgment against the City of Santee in California Superior
Court (Case No. 777094). 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 “prior ordinance”). 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’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">     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’ behalf in the City’s case. The Company
moved for judgment on the pleadings in the tenant association’s case on the ground that the tenant
association’s case is moot in light of the result in the City’s case. On November 6, 2008, the
Court granted the Company’s motion for judgment on the pleadings without leave to amend. The
tenant association appealed. In June 2010, the Court of Appeal remanded the case for further
proceedings, ruling that (i) 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) there is no
basis for the tenant association’s punitive damage claim or its claim under the California Mobile
Home Residency Law; and (3) the trial court should consider certain of the tenant association’s
other claims. On remand, at the trial court’s suggestion, the parties agreed to a trial of the
remanded issues based on stipulated written facts. A draft of the parties’ proposed stipulated
written facts was submitted to the trial court on April 22, 2011.

ordinances are unconstitutional under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States
Constitution. On October 13, 2010, the District Court: (1) dismissed the Company’s claims without
prejudice on the ground that they were not ripe because the Company had not filed and received from
the City a final decision on a rent increase petition, and (2) found that those claims are not
foreclosed by any of the state court rulings. On November 10, 2010, the Company filed a notice of
appeal from the District Court’s ruling dismissing the Company’s claims. On April 20, 2011, the
appeal was voluntarily dismissed pursuant to stipulation of the parties. The Company has filed a
rent increase petition with the City in order to ripen its claims, and intends to pursue further
adjudication of its rights in federal court.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     On December 1, 2006, a group of tenants at the Company’s Colony Park Property in Ceres,
California filed a complaint in the California Superior Court for Stanislaus County alleging that
the Company had failed to properly maintain the Property and had improperly reduced the services
provided to the tenants, among other allegations. 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’s motion to compel arbitration was denied and the
denial was upheld on appeal. Trial of the case began on July 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’s who were
awarded nothing filed a motion for a new trial or alternatively for judgment notwithstanding the
jury’s verdict, which the Court denied on February 14, 2011. The Company has filed a memorandum of
costs that seeks a costs award of approximately $0.2 million, and has filed a motion that seeks an
attorneys’ fees award of approximately $2.1 million. Despite the jury’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’ fees award of
approximately $0.8 million. The Company intends to vigorously oppose any award of costs or
attorneys’ fees to the plaintiffs. A hearing on the parties’ respective requests for awards of
costs and attorney’s has been set for June 9, 2011.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><b>California Hawaiian</b>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     On April 30, 2009, a group of tenants at the Company’s California Hawaiian Property in San
Jose, California filed a complaint in the California Superior Court for Santa Clara County alleging
that the Company has failed to properly maintain the Property and has improperly reduced the
services provided to the tenants, among other allegations. 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 8, 2009, the Court granted the Company’s motion to compel arbitration and stayed the
court proceedings pending the outcome of the arbitration. The plaintiffs filed with the Court of
Appeal a petition for a writ seeking to overturn the trial court’s arbitration and stay orders
which has been fully briefed and was orally argued on February 22, 2011. The Company believes that
the allegations in the complaint are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend the
litigation.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><b>Hurricane Claim Litigation</b>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     On June 22, 2007, the Company filed suit in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois (Case
No. 07CH16548), against its insurance carriers, Hartford Fire Insurance Company, Essex Insurance
Company, Lexington Insurance Company, and Westchester Surplus Lines Insurance Company, regarding a
coverage dispute arising from losses suffered by the Company as a result of hurricanes that
occurred in Florida in 2004 and 2005. The Company also brought claims against Aon Risk Services,
Inc. of Illinois (“Aon”), the Company’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. The
claims involved in this action are approximately $11 million.

</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     In response to motions to dismiss, the trial court dismissed: (1) the requests for declaratory
relief as being duplicative of the claims for breach of contract and (2) certain of the breach of
contract claims as being not ripe until the limits of underlying insurance policies have been
exhausted. On or about January 28, 2008, the Company filed its Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”),
which the insurers have answered. In response to the court’s dismissal of the SAC’s claims against
Aon, the Company ultimately filed, on February 2, 2009, a new Count VIII against Aon alleging a
claim for breach of contract, which
Aon answered. In January 2010, the parties engaged in a settlement mediation, which did not result
in a settlement. In June 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 13, 2010, the Court granted the
motion. Discovery is proceeding with respect to various remaining issues, including the amounts of
the debris cleanup costs the Company is entitled to collect pursuant to the Court’s order granting
the Company partial summary judgment.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Since filing the lawsuit, as of March 31, 2011, the Company has received additional payments
from Essex Insurance Company, Lexington Insurance Company, and Westchester Surplus Lines Insurance
Company, of approximately $3.7 million. In January 2008 the Company entered a settlement with
Hartford Fire Insurance Company pursuant to which Hartford paid the Company the remaining disputed
limits of Hartford’s insurance policy, in the amount of approximately $0.5 million, and the Company
dismissed and released Hartford from additional claims for interest and bad faith claims handling.

</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     On October 16, 2008, the Company was served with a class action lawsuit in California state
court filed by a single named plaintiff. 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 (“PA”) 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 “stripped” those employees of their seniority. The suit
asserts claims for alleged violation of the California Labor Code; alleged violation of the
California Business & 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’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’s motions seeking dismissal of the plaintiff’s original complaint and various amended
complaints. Discovery is proceeding on the remaining claims in the third amended complaint. On
February 15, 2011, the Court granted plaintiff’s motion for class certification. A hearing on the
content of the class notice has been set for June 1, 2011. The Company will vigorously defend the
lawsuit.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     On December 16, 2008, the Company was served with a class action lawsuit in Washington state
court filed by a single named plaintiff, represented by the same counsel as the plaintiff in the
California class action. 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 3,
2009, the court dismissed: (1) the first cause of action, which alleged a claim under the
Washington Labor Code for failure to pay accrued vacation time; (2) the second cause of action,
which alleged a claim under the Washington Labor Code for unpaid wages on termination; (3) the
third cause of action, which alleged a claim under the Washington Labor Code for payment of wages
less than entitled; and (4) 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 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 11, 2009. On July 30, 2010, the named plaintiff died as a
result of an unrelated accident. Plaintiff’s counsel may attempt to substitute a new named
plaintiff. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     In 2004, the Company acquired ownership of various property owning entities, including an
entity owning a property called Gulf View, in Punta Gorda, Florida. Gulf View continues to be held
in a special purpose entity. At the time of acquisition of the entity owning Gulf View, it was
financed with a non-recourse loan secured by Gulf View that was cross-collateralized with a
non-recourse loan secured by another property whose ownership entity was not acquired. At the time
of acquisition, the Operating Partnership guaranteed certain obligations relating to exceptions
from the non-recourse nature of the loans. The approximate outstanding amount of the loan secured
by Gulf View is $1.4 million and of the crossed loan secured by the other property is $5.3 million.
Both of the loans mature on June 1, 2011. Should the owner of the cross-collateralized property
default on the $5.3 million loan, the special purpose entity owning Gulf View and the Operating
Partnership may be impacted to the extent of their obligations.
