Mr. Landy further stated, "UMH is on its way to an excellent 2018. Our income growth and overall operating metrics have improved. Demand for housing, especially affordable housing, continues to increase. Improving demographics, low unemployment rates and rising wages have created additional demand for both sales and rentals. These factors have contributed to our above industry average same property income and NOI growth. We are very well positioned for the future. Our business plan of acquiring communities with vacancy has provided us with a runway to further improve upon our operating numbers We have the ability to grow the company by filling our vacant sites, developing expansion sites and acquiring additional properties."
"During the quarter, we closed on the acquisition of one all-age community located in Indiana for a total purchase price of $3.5 million. This community contains 134 developed home sites of which 60% are currently occupied. This community is a high-quality asset developed in the year 2000 with additional land for expansion and below market rents. We continue to execute our growth strategy and currently have an acquisition pipeline totaling $78 million, consisting of 5 properties containing 2,000 sites."
"We look forward to building on the substantial progress we have made thus far."

Note:

Non-GAAP Information: We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds from Operations ("FFO"), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of a REIT. FFO, as defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), represents Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), excluding extraordinary items, as defined under U.S. GAAP, gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") as FFO plus costs of early extinguishment of debt, change in the fair value of marketable securities and costs associated with the redemption of preferred stock. We define Normalized Funds from Operations ("Normalized FFO") as Core FFO excluding gains and losses realized on marketable securities investments and certain non-recurring charges. We define Community NOI as rental and related income less community operating expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, community salaries, utilities, insurance and other expenses. FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO, as well as Community NOI, should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have a different cost basis. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, Core FFO, Normalized FFO and Community NOI and, accordingly, our FFO, Core FFO, Normalized FFO and Community NOI may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO are significant components in understanding the Company's financial performance. |
FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net loss as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
