NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
UMH
Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, “us”
or “the Company”) operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) deriving its income primarily from
real estate rental operations. The Company owns and operates
On
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus, a pandemic,
and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The Company’s
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and intends to maintain its qualification as a REIT in the future. As a qualified REIT, with limited exceptions, the Company will not be taxed under federal and certain state income tax laws at the corporate level on taxable income that it distributes to its shareholders. For special tax provisions applicable to REITs, refer to Sections 856-860 of the Code. The Company is subject to franchise taxes in some of the states in which the Company owns property.
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements furnished herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
| 10 |
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the financial statements for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the statement presentation for the current periods.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate risk on its variable rate debt. The Company attempts to limit these risks by following established risk management policies, procedures and strategies, including the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company generally employs derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company previously entered into various interest rate swap agreements that have had the effect of fixing interest rates relative to specific mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, these agreements had expired and the Company does not have any interest rate swap agreements in effect.
Leases
We account for our leases under ASC 842, “Leases.” Our primary source of revenue is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes, where we are the lessor. These leases are generally for one-year or month-to-month terms and renewable by mutual agreement from us and the resident, or in some cases, as provided by jurisdictional statute.
We
are the lessee in other arrangements, primarily for our corporate office and a ground lease at one community. As of June 30, 2020,
the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $

Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash consists of amounts primarily held in deposit for tax, insurance and repair escrows held by lenders in accordance with certain debt agreements. Restricted cash is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table reconciles beginning of period and end of period balances of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the periods shown (in thousands):

Revenue
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASC 606). For transactions in the scope of ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of goods or services transfers to the customer, in the amount that we expect to receive for the transfer of goods or provision of services.
Rental and related income is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes. The lease component of these agreements is accounted for under ASC 840 “Leases.” The non-lease components of our lease agreements consist primarily of utility reimbursements, which are accounted for with the site lease as a single lease under ASC 840.
| 12 |
Revenue from sales of manufactured homes is recognized in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606, at the time of closing when control of the home transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, we generally have no remaining performance obligation.
Interest income is primarily from notes receivables for the previous sales of manufactured homes. Interest income on these receivables is accrued based on the unpaid principal balances of the underlying loans on a level yield basis over the life of the loans.
Dividend income and gain on sales of marketable securities are from our investments in marketable securities and are presented separately but are not in the scope of ASC 606.
Other income primarily consists of brokerage commissions for arranging for the sale of a home by a third party and other miscellaneous income. This income is recognized when the transactions are completed and our performance obligations have been fulfilled.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss”
model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit
losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability
of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within
those periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. As of January 1, 2020, we adopted the fair value option for our notes receivable
and there was not a material impact. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had notes receivable of $
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC 820. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that year. The Company adopted this standard effective with its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on its fair value disclosures.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
| 13 |
Basic Net Income (Loss) per Share is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted Net Income per Share is calculated by dividing Net Income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and when dilutive, the potential net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method. In periods with a net loss, the diluted loss per share equals the basic loss per share as all common stock equivalents are excluded from the per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase million shares of common stock amounted to shares, which were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase million shares of common stock amounted to shares, which were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share.

The compensation cost for stock option grants is determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date less estimated forfeitures. The compensation expense for restricted stock is recognized based on the fair value of the restricted stock awards less estimated forfeitures. The fair value of restricted stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Compensation costs of $,000 and $,000 have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $,000 and $ million have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

In addition to the Company’s investments in marketable securities, the Company is required to disclose certain information about the fair values of its other financial instruments, as defined in ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments. Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time, based upon, where available, relevant market prices and information about the financial instrument. Such estimates do not include any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. All of the Company’s Marketable Securities have quoted market prices and traded in active markets and are therefore classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The
fair value of Cash and Cash Equivalents and Notes Receivable approximates their current carrying amounts since all such items
are short-term in nature. The fair value of variable rate Loans Payable approximate their current carrying amounts since such
amounts payable are at approximately a weighted-average current market rate of interest. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of
Fixed Rate Mortgages Payable amounted to $

| Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Impact of COVID-19
The following discussion is intended to provide certain information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and management’s efforts to respond to those impacts.
We continue to closely monitor our operations and government recommendations and have taken steps to make the safety, security and welfare of our employees, their families and our residents a top priority.
We have complied with government “stay-at-home” orders and “social distancing” practices. We have implemented remote working arrangements for our non-essential employees. Our IT system and website allow for virtual tours of our homes for sale or rent, online execution of applications and lease agreements, online payment of rent, and other enhancements. We are experiencing high demand for our rental homes and fewer move-outs. We continue to maintain our communities and deliver essential services to our residents while following social distancing protocols. We have suspended the mailing of rent increase notifications in March and April which will delay these increases. These increases would have been effective May 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020. This affected May’s rental income by approximately $24,000 and June’s rental income by an additional $20,000. We have suspended eviction actions and have instituted deferred payment plans, as needed, to our residents who have experienced financial hardship related to COVID-19. Less than 100 residents (less than 1%) have executed these payment plans. Rent collections for April through July are at pre-pandemic levels. We have collected 95% of July’s rent compared to 95% of the same time last year. We anticipate many of our residents have or will receive unemployment benefits and/or economic stimulus payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which will assist our residents with paying rent.
The significance, extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 remains largely uncertain and dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time. We will continue to monitor these rapidly evolving developments and respond in the best interests of our employees, residents and shareholders. At this time, we believe that the fallout from COVID-19 will not have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Overview
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included elsewhere herein and in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company is a self-administered, self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) with headquarters in Freehold, New Jersey. The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities which includes leasing manufactured home spaces on an annual or month-to-month basis to residential manufactured homeowners. The Company also leases homes to residents and, through its taxable REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), sells and finances the sale of manufactured homes to qualified residents and prospective residents of our communities and for placement on customers’ privately-owned land.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company owned and operated 122 manufactured home communities containing approximately 23,100 developed home sites. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan and Maryland. The Company acquired an additional community located in Pennsylvania in July 2020.
The Company earns income from the operation of its manufactured home communities, leasing of manufactured homesites, the rental of manufactured homes, the sale and finance of manufactured homes, the brokering of home sales, and from appreciation in the values of the manufactured home communities and vacant land owned by the Company. The Company also invests in marketable securities of other REITs, which the Company generally limits to no more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets. As of June 30, 2020, the securities portfolio represented 7.2% of undepreciated assets.
| 24 |
The Company believes that its capital structure, which allows for the ownership of assets using a balanced combination of equity obtained through the issuance of common stock, preferred stock and debt, will enhance shareholder returns as the properties appreciate over time.
The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. This has resulted in increased occupancy rates and improved operating results. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, total income increased 8% from the prior year period and Community Net Operating Income (“NOI”), as defined below, increased 19%. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, total income increased 9% from the prior year period and Community Net Operating Income (“NOI”), as defined below, increased 21%. Same property NOI, which includes communities owned and operated as of January 1, 2019, increased 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 over the prior year period driven by a 250 basis point increase in occupancy to 85.8%. We have been positioning ourselves for future growth and will continue to seek opportunistic investments. There is no assurance that the Company can continue to acquire existing manufactured home communities that meet the requirements of the business plan or that the demand for rental homes will continue in the future.
Sales of manufactured homes decreased 13% during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the prior year period primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 and governmental stay-at-home orders and social distancing. We anticipate that sales will improve as the impact of the virus is reduced. Demand for quality affordable housing remains healthy while inventory is scarce. Our property type offers substantial comparative value that should result in increased demand.
The macro-economic environment and current housing fundamentals continue to favor home rentals. Rental homes in a manufactured home community allow the resident to obtain the efficiencies of factory-built housing and the amenities of community living for less than the cost of other forms of affordable housing. We continue to see strong demand for rental homes. We have added an additional 367 rental homes during the first six months of 2020. This brings the total number of rental homes to approximately 7,800 rental homes, or 33.6% of total sites. Occupied rental homes represent approximately 38.0% of total occupied sites at quarter end. Occupancy in rental homes continues to be strong and is at 95.2% as of June 30, 2020. We compare favorably with other types of rental housing, including apartments, and we will continue to allocate capital to rental home purchases, as demand dictates. Although COVID-19 delayed our rental home purchases, we continue to anticipate adding approximately 750 - 800 rental homes in 2020.
See PART I, Item 1 – Business in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a more complete discussion of the economic and industry-wide factors relevant to the Company and the opportunities and challenges, and risks on which the Company is focused.
| 25 |
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of Assets and Liabilities, Revenues and Expenses, and related disclosure of contingent Assets and Liabilities at the date of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
On a regular basis, management evaluates our assumptions, judgments and estimates. Management believes there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our significant accounting policies and estimates under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Supplemental Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include certain non-GAAP financial measures that in management’s view of the business we believe are meaningful as they allow the investor the ability to understand key operating details of our business both with and without regard to certain accounting conventions or items that may not always be indicative of recurring annual cash flow of the portfolio. These non-GAAP financial measures as determined and presented by us may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and include Community NOI, Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“FFO”), and Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”).
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. We believe that Community NOI is helpful to investors and analysts as a direct measure of the actual operating results of our manufactured home communities, rather than our Company overall. Community NOI should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Community NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
| 26 |
The Company’s Community NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is calculated as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||

| Community NOI | $ | 19,613 | $ | 16,418 | $ | 38,463 | $ | 31,918 | ||||||||
We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“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 income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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, and the change in the fair value of marketable securities plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. Included in the NAREIT FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, is an option pertaining to assets incidental to our main business in the calculation of NAREIT FFO to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of these assets, such as marketable equity securities and include or exclude mark-to-market changes in the value recognized on these marketable equity securities. In conjunction with the adoption of the FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, for all periods presented, we have elected to exclude the change in the fair value of marketable securities from our FFO calculation. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”), as FFO, excluding gains and losses realized on marketable securities investments and certain one-time charges. FFO and Normalized FFO should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. 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 and Normalized FFO and, accordingly, our FFO and Normalized FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO and Normalized FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.
FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as alternatives to net income (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.

The reconciliation of the Company’s U.S. GAAP Net Income (Loss) to the Company’s FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are calculated as follows (in thousands):

Changes In Results Of Operations
Rental and Related Income increased 12% from $31.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $35.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Rental and Related Income increased 12% from $62.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $69.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2019, as well as increases in rental rates and same property occupancy and additional rental homes. The Company has been raising rental rates by approximately 3% to 5% annually at most communities. Same property occupancy has increased 250 basis points from 83.3% as of June 30, 2019 to 85.8% at quarter-end. Occupied rental homes increased 15% from approximately 6,400 homes at June 30, 2019 to 7,400 homes at June 30, 2020.
Community Operating Expenses remained relatively stable increasing 3% from $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 3% from $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, there was a one-time settlement of $375,000 for a utility billing dispute over a prior 10-year period.
| 28 |
Community NOI increased 19% from $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Community NOI increased 21% from $31.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions during 2019, and increases in rental rates, occupancy and rental homes. The Company’s Operating Expense Ratio (defined as Community Operating Expenses divided by Rental and Related Income) was 47.7% and 44.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s Operating Expense Ratio was 48.5% and 44.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Many recently acquired communities have deferred maintenance requiring higher than normal expenditures in the first few years of ownership. Because most of the community expenses consist of fixed costs, as occupancy rates increase, these expense ratios are expected to continue to improve. Since the Company has the ability to increase its rental rates annually, increasing costs due to inflation and changing prices have generally not had a material effect on revenues and income from continuing operations.
Sales of manufactured homes decreased 14% from $5.8 million, or 93 homes, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $5.0 million, or 82 homes, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Sales of manufactured homes decreased 13% from $9.5 million, or 159 homes, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $8.2 million, or 144 homes, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $3.6 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $6.0 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The gross profit percentage was 28% and 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The gross profit percentage was 27% and 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Selling expenses, which includes salaries, commissions, advertising and other miscellaneous expenses, amounted to $1.3 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Selling expenses amounted to $2.4 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Income (Loss) from the sales operations (defined as sales of manufactured homes less cost of sales of manufactured homes less selling expenses less interest on the financing of inventory) amounted to income of $118,000 or 2% of total sales and income of $178,000 or 3% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income (Loss) from the sales operations amounted to a loss of $197,000 or 2% of total sales and income of $75,000 or 1% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Many of the costs associated with sales, such as salaries, and to an extent, advertising and promotion, are fixed.
The impact of COVID-19 has also taken its toll on the conventional housing market. The National Association of Realtors reported that as of June, sales of existing homes fell 11.3% from a year ago. However, home prices continue their rise as fewer sellers are listing homes and inventories decline. The inherent affordability of our property type becomes more and more apparent, which should result in increased demand. The Company continues to be optimistic about future sales and rental prospects given the fundamental need for affordable housing. The Company believes that sales of new homes produces new rental revenue and is an investment in the upgrading of our communities.
General and Administrative Expenses decreased 13% from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. General and Administrative Expenses remained relatively stable at $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Personnel costs decreased due to a decrease in our stock price which decreased the fair value of stock options granted. The weighted-average fair value of options granted decreased from $1.72 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $0.96 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. General and Administrative expenses as a percentage of gross revenue (Total Income plus Interest, Dividend and Other Income) was 6.5% and 6.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared and 7.9% and 6.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
| 29 |
Depreciation Expense increased 16% from $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Depreciation Expense increased 16% from $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions in 2019 and the increase in rental homes during 2019 and 2020.
Interest Income increased 11% from $622,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $691,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Interest Income increased 24% from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of notes receivable from $31.8 million at June 30, 2019 to $35.2 million at June 30, 2020.
Dividend Income decreased 20% from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Dividend Income decreased 15% from $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was due to reduced dividends from our holdings. Dividends received from our marketable securities investments were at a weighted average yield of approximately 5.5% and 7.4%, at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. It is the Company’s intent to hold these marketable securities long-term.
Increase (Decrease) in Fair Value of Marketable Securities increased from a loss of $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to a gain of $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Increase (Decrease) in Fair Value of Marketable Securities decreased from a gain of $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to a loss of $25.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on prices in the securities market. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had total net unrealized losses of $50.4 million in its REIT securities portfolio.
Interest Expense, including Amortization of Financing Costs, was $4.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020. Interest Expense decreased 3% from $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our mortgages payable from 4.3% at June 30, 2019 to 4.1% at June 30, 2020, not including the effect of unamortized debt issuance costs. This was partially offset by an increase in the weighted average balance of our mortgages payable from approximately $329 million as of June 30, 2019 to approximately $372 million as of June 30, 2020.
| 30 |
Changes in Financial Condition
Total Investment Property and Equipment increased 3% or $34.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company added 367 rental homes to its communities. The Company’s occupancy rate on its rental homes portfolio increased 290 basis points and was 95.2% at June 30, 2020 as compared to 92.3% at December 31, 2019.
Marketable Securities decreased 21% or $24.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was due to a net decrease in the fair value of $25.2 million and purchases of $690,000.
Mortgages Payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, decreased 1% or $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to principal payments.
Loans Payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, decreased 21% or $17.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was due to a decrease of $7.4 million on our revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and the purchase of inventory, a decrease of $4.8 million on our margin loan and a decrease of $5 million on our revolving line of credit secured by the Company’s eligible notes receivable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s focus is on real estate investments, including investment in rental homes. Additionally, the Company invests in marketable debt and equity securities of other REITs. The REIT securities portfolio provides the Company with liquidity and additional income and serves as a proxy for real estate when more favorable risk adjusted returns are not available. The Company generally limits its marketable securities investments to no more than approximately 15% of its undepreciated assets.
The Company’s principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the Company’s shareholders, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service, purchases of manufactured home inventory and rental homes, financing of manufactured home sales and payments of expenses relating to real estate operations. We anticipate that the liquidity demands of the recent properties acquired will be met by the operations of these acquisitions. The Company’s ability to generate cash adequate to meet these demands is dependent primarily on income from its real estate investments and marketable securities portfolio, the sale of real estate investments and marketable securities, refinancing of mortgage debt, leveraging of real estate investments, availability of bank borrowings, lines of credit, proceeds from the DRIP, and access to the capital markets.
In addition to cash generated through operations, the Company uses a variety of sources to fund its cash needs, including acquisitions. The Company may sell marketable securities from its investment portfolio, borrow on its unsecured credit facility or lines of credit, finance and refinance its properties, and/or raise capital through the DRIP and capital markets, including through the Company’s ATM Programs. In order to provide financial flexibility to opportunistically access the capital markets, the Company has implemented both a Common ATM Program and subsequent to quarter end, a New Preferred ATM Program. The Common ATM Program allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock, having an aggregate sales price of up to $100 million from time to time through the Distribution Agents. The New Preferred ATM Program allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock, having an aggregate sales price of up to $100 million. To date, the Company has not sold any shares under the Common ATM Program or the New Preferred ATM Program.
| 31 |
The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. There is no guarantee that any of these additional opportunities will materialize or that the Company will be able to take advantage of such opportunities. The growth of our real estate portfolio depends on the availability of suitable properties which meet the Company’s investment criteria and appropriate financing. Competition in the market areas in which the Company operates is significant. To the extent that funds or appropriate communities are not available, fewer acquisitions will be made.
The Company continues to strengthen its capital and liquidity positions. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold 2.6 million shares of our Series D Preferred Stock through our 2019 Preferred ATM Program at a weighted average price of $25.06 per share, generating gross proceeds of $64.1 million and net proceeds after offering expenses of $63.1 million. The 2019 Preferred ATM Program was subsequently replaced by our New Preferred ATM Program.
The Company also raised $3.3 million from the issuance of common stock in the DRIP during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which included Dividend Reinvestments of $1.7 million. Dividends paid on the common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $14.8 million, of which $1.7 million were reinvested. Dividends paid on the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $16.2 million.
Net Cash provided by Operating Activities amounted to $31.0 million and $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had Cash and Cash Equivalents of $11.0 million, Marketable Securities of $91.7 million, encumbered by $32.8 million in margin loans, approximately $31.5 million available on our revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and purchases of inventory and $60 million available on our unsecured credit facility, with an additional $50 million potentially available pursuant to an accordion feature. Subsequent to quarter end, we drew down an additional $5 million on our unsecured credit facility for an acquisition.
The extent to which COVID-19 and related actions impact our operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any degree of confidence, including the scope, severity, duration and geographies of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or mitigate its impact requested or mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise voluntarily taken by individuals or businesses, the success of governmental actions undertaken to support the economy during the pandemic and the duration and severity of direct and indirect economic effects of the illness and containment measures, among others. As previously discussed, at this time, we believe that the fallout from COVID-19 will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
| 32 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Company owned 122 communities, of which 47 were unencumbered. Except for 15 communities in the borrowing base for our unsecured credit facility, these unencumbered communities can be used to raise additional funds. Our marketable securities, unencumbered properties, and lines of credit provide the Company with additional liquidity.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had total assets of $1.0 billion and total liabilities of $458.5 million. The Company’s net debt (net of unamortized debt issuance costs and cash and cash equivalents) to total market capitalization as of June 30, 2020 was approximately 30% and the Company’s net debt, less securities to total market capitalization as of June 30, 2020 was approximately 23%. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no mortgages due within the next 12 months. The Company believes that it has the ability to meet its obligations and to generate funds for new investments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
| Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
None.
| Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors except as set forth below:
We face various risks and uncertainties related to public health crises, including the recent and ongoing global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The COVID-19 pandemic is growing and its impact is uncertain and hard to measure, but may have a material adverse effect on us.
We face various risks and uncertainties related to public health crises, including the recent and ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted financial markets and significantly impacted worldwide economic activity to date and is likely to continue to do so.
The COVID-19 pandemic and social and governmental responses to the pandemic have caused, and are likely to continue to cause, severe economic, market and other disruptions in the United States and worldwide, including unprecedented job losses and an economic downturn. The extent to which COVID-19 and related actions impact our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any degree of confidence, including the scope, severity, duration and geographies of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or mitigate its impact requested or mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise voluntarily taken by individuals or businesses, the success of governmental actions undertaken to support the economy during the pandemic and the duration and severity of direct and indirect economic effects of the illness and containment measures, among others. In response to the outbreak, the United States, like many countries around the world, has taken a variety of countermeasures, such as quarantines, “shelter in place” and stay-at-home orders and restrictions on business activities, group gatherings and travel, which have caused disruptions in the U.S. and global economy, financial markets and supply chains and have adversely impacted many businesses and industries and created significant economic uncertainty. Residents in our communities have lost jobs or experienced financial hardship related to COVID-19, which may adversely affect their ability to make rent payments in full or on a timely basis. In addition, individual states and localities have adopted or may consider adopting policies requiring temporary rent freezes and forbearance with respect to delinquent rent and mortgage payments, evictions and foreclosures, and the nature, timing and impact of any future public policy decisions and actions with respect to these matters cannot be predicted. The pandemic and related governmental orders may also cause us to incur increased costs, require us to provide employees with additional time off and increase our vulnerability to cyber-attacks while employees work from home. In addition, an economic downturn due to the pandemic may adversely affect the market values of our communities and our portfolio of REIT securities as well as our stock price and may impair our access to capital and our ability to incur indebtedness. As a result, while the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic on us are uncertain and will depend on numerous factors beyond our control, the pandemic and the actions taken in response could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic or the actions taken in response adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or prospects, this may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under the heading “Risk Factors”.

None.
| Item 3. | Defaults Upon Senior Securities |
