NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
UMH
Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and 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
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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022.
| 9 |
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with 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 revenue and expenses for the years then ended. These estimates and assumptions include the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, depreciation, valuation of securities, accounting for land development, reserves and accruals, and stock compensation expense. Actual results could differ 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.
Investment in Joint Venture
The Company accounts for its investment in its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial decisions of the joint venture. Under the equity method of accounting, 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, reduced by distributions received and increased by contributions made. The income or loss is allocated in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement. The carrying value of the investment in the joint venture is reviewed for other than temporary impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Financial condition, operational performance, and other economic trends are among the factors that are considered in evaluation of the existence of impairment indicators (See Note 5).
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, 2023
and December 31, 2022, the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $

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.

Revenue Recognition
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 842 “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 842.
| 11 |
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 (loss) 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.
Notes Receivables
On
January 1, 2020, the Company adopted 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. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had notes receivable of $
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.
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 (Loss) per Share is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) less Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2023, common stock equivalents of shares and shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Loss per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, common stock equivalents of shares and million shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Loss per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 5- INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
In
December 2021, the Company and Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, through Nuveen Real Estate (its asset management
division) (“Nuveen” or “Nuveen Real Estate”), established a joint venture for the purpose of acquiring manufactured
housing and/or recreational vehicle communities that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines.
The terms of the joint venture are set forth in a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of December 8, 2021 (the “LLC Agreement”)
entered into between a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and an affiliate of Nuveen. The LLC Agreement provides for the parties
to initially fund up to $
The
Company and Nuveen are continuing to seek opportunities to acquire additional manufactured housing and/or recreational vehicle communities
that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. The Company and Nuveen have informally
agreed that any future acquisitions would be made by one or more new joint venture entities to be formed for that purpose and that the
existing joint venture entity formed in December 2021 will not consummate additional acquisitions but will maintain its existing property
portfolio, consisting of the Sebring Square and Rum Runner communities. While the terms and conditions of such new joint venture entities
have not been fully negotiated, it is expected that invested capital would continue to be funded
Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, after
December 8, 2024 or, if later, the second anniversary of the joint venture’s acquisition and placing in service of a manufactured
housing or recreational vehicle community, Nuveen will have a right to initiate the sale of one or more of the communities owned by the
joint venture. If Nuveen elects to initiate such a sale process, the Company may exercise a right of first refusal to acquire Nuveen’s
interest in the community or communities to be sold for a purchase price corresponding to the greater of the appraised value of such
communities or the amount required to provide a 7.5% net unlevered internal rate of return on Nuveen’s investment.
The
LLC Agreement between the Company and Nuveen provides that until the capital contributions to the joint venture are fully funded or
the joint venture is terminated, the joint venture will be the exclusive vehicle for the Company to acquire any manufactured housing
communities and/or recreational vehicle communities that meet the joint venture’s investment guidelines. These guidelines call
for the joint venture to acquire manufactured housing and recreational vehicle communities that have been developed within the
previous
| 14 |
The
LLC Agreement provides that Nuveen will have the right to remove and replace the Company as managing member of the joint venture and
manager of the joint venture’s properties if the Company breaches certain obligations or certain events occur. Upon such
removal, Nuveen may elect to buy out the Company’s interest in the joint venture at
The LLC Agreement requires the Company to offer Nuveen the opportunity to have the joint venture acquire a manufactured housing community or recreational vehicle community that meets the investment guidelines. If Nuveen decides not to acquire the community through the joint venture, however, the Company is free to purchase the community on its own outside of the joint venture.
In

The Company accounts for awards of stock, stock options and restricted stock in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” ASC 718-10 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and amortized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). 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 $ and $ million have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $ and $ million have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

In addition to the Company’s investment in marketable securities at fair value, the Company is required to disclose certain information about 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. However, for a portion of the Company’s other financial instruments, no quoted market value exists. Therefore, estimates of fair value are necessarily based on a number of significant assumptions (many of which involve events outside the control of management). Such assumptions include assessments of current economic conditions, perceived risks associated with these financial instruments and their counterparties, future expected loss experience and other factors. Given the uncertainties surrounding these assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only and, therefore, cannot be compared to the historical accounting model. Use of different assumptions or methodologies is likely to result in significantly different fair value estimates.

payable amounted to $

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 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, 2022.
The Company is a Maryland corporation that operates as 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 residents. The Company also leases manufactured homes to residents and, through its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (“S&F”), sells and finances the sale of manufactured homes to residents and prospective residents of our communities and for placement on customers’ privately-owned land. During 2022, the Company also formed an opportunity zone fund to acquire, develop and redevelop manufactured housing communities requiring substantial capital investment and located in areas designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones by the Treasury Department pursuant to a program authorized under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to encourage long-term investment in economically distressed areas. The Company currently holds a 77% percentage interest in the opportunity zone fund.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned and operated 135 manufactured home communities (including two communities acquired through the Company’s opportunity zone fund) containing approximately 25,700 developed homesites. These communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia. The Company also has an ownership interest in and operates two communities in Florida through its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate.
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 and the brokering of home sales, self-storage leases, oil and gas leases, cable service agreements and from appreciation in the values of the manufactured home communities and vacant land owned by the Company. In addition, the Company receives property management and other fees from its joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate and from its opportunity zone fund. Management views the Company as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to its allocation of capital and resources. The Company also invests in equity securities of other REITs. As of June 30, 2023, the securities portfolio represented 2.1% of undepreciated assets. The Company does not intend to increase its investment in this REIT securities portfolio.
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.
| 26 |
The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that over time are expected to 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, rental and related income increased 11% and 10%, respectively, from the prior year period and Community Net Operating Income (“NOI”), as defined below, increased 16% and 12%, respectively. Same property NOI, which includes communities owned and operated as of January 1, 2022, increased 13% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, over the prior year period driven by a 190 basis point increase in occupancy, to 87.9%, and rental rate increase of 4.7%. We have been positioning ourselves for future growth and will continue to seek opportunistic investments. In addition, on behalf of our joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate, we will seek opportunities to acquire manufactured home communities that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. We will also seek additional opportunities, through our opportunity zone fund, to acquire communities that require substantial capital investment and are located in Qualified Opportunity Zones.
Sales of manufactured homes increased 38% during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from the prior year. 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 534 rental homes during the first six months of 2023. This brought the total number of rental homes to approximately 9,600 rental homes, or 37.4% of total sites. Occupied rental homes represented approximately 40.9% of total occupied sites at quarter end. Occupancy in rental homes continues to be strong and was at 93.9% as of June 30, 2023. 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. We anticipate adding approximately 800- 900 rental homes in 2023.
The following is a summary of the community acquired through our opportunity zone fund during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

See PART I, Item 1 – Business in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.
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, 2022.
| 27 |
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 Net Operating Income (“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.
The Company’s Community NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is calculated as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
| 6/30/23 | 6/30/22 | 6/30/23 | 6/30/22 | |||||||||||||

| Community NOI | $ | 27,029 | $ | 23,306 | $ | 52,246 | $ | 46,812 | ||||||||
We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon FFO, an industry performance measure 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. (“U.S. GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, the change in the fair value of marketable securities, and the gain or loss on the sale 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 amortization 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.
| 28 |
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 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 Company’s FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are calculated as follows (in thousands):

Changes In Results Of Operations
Rental and related income increased 11% from $42.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $47.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Rental and related income increased 10% from $83.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $92.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions made during 2022, as well as increases in rental rates and same property occupancy and additional rental homes. The Company has been raising rental rates by approximately 4% to 5% annually at most communities. Same property occupancy has increased 190 basis points from 86.0% as of June 30, 2022 to 87.9% at June 30, 2023. Occupied rental homes increased 8% from approximately 8,400 homes at June 30, 2022 to 9,000 homes at June 30, 2023.
Community operating expenses increased 6% from $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Community operating expenses increased 8% from $37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $40.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. These increases were primarily due to acquisitions made during 2022, as well as an increase in payroll, rental home expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, waste removal and sewer expenses.
Community NOI increased 16% from $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $27.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Community NOI increased 12% from $46.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $52.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions during 2022 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 42.6% and 44.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s Operating Expense Ratio was 43.4% and 44.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 revenue and income from continuing operations.
Sales of manufactured homes increased 18% from $7.0 million, or 86 homes, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $8.2 million, or 91 homes, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Sales of manufactured homes increased 38% from $11.3 million, or 147 homes, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $15.5 million, or 174 homes, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $5.7 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cost of sales of manufactured homes amounted to $10.7 million and $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The gross profit percentage was 30% and 31% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Selling expenses, which includes salaries, commissions, advertising and other miscellaneous expenses, amounted to $1.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gain 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 $665,000 or 8% of total sales and $876,000 or 13% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gain from the sales operations amounted to $901,000 or 6% of total sales and $979,000 or 9% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gain from the sales operations, excluding interest on the financing of inventory, amounted to $822,000 or 10% of total sales and $943,000 or 13% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gain from the sales operations, excluding interest on the financing of inventory, amounted to $1.3 million or 9% of total sales and $1.1 million or 10% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Many of the costs associated with sales, such as salaries, and to an extent, advertising and promotion, are fixed.

Despite an increase in mortgage interest rates, home prices have continued to rise as fewer sellers are listing homes and inventories decline. With the passage of time, the inherent relative 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 produce new rental revenue and represent an investment in the upgrading of our communities.
General and administrative expenses increased 20% from $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses increased 24% from $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. These increases were due to an increase in payroll, personnel costs and non-cash stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross revenue (total income plus interest, dividends and other income) was 9.0% and 9.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to 8.4% and 8.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Depreciation expense increased 15% from $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Depreciation expense increased 14% from $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions and increase in rental homes during 2022 and 2023.
Interest income increased 14% from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Interest income increased 19% from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of notes receivable from $55.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $65.1 million at June 30, 2023.
Dividend income decreased 26% from $721,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $531,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Dividend income decreased 18% from $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was due to reduced dividends as a result of our smaller securities portfolio. The weighted average yield on our dividends received from our marketable securities investments increased 60 basis points and were approximately 6.5% and 5.9% at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company recognized a loss on sales of marketable securities of $43,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company recognized a gain on sales of marketable securities of $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of the cash consideration received in the MREIC merger. The decrease in fair value of marketable securities amounted to $2.5 million and $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.9 million and $41.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had total net unrealized losses of $41.1 million in its REIT securities portfolio.
Interest expense, including amortization of financing costs, increased 35% from $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Interest expense, including amortization of financing costs, increased 43% from $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was mainly due to interest on the Series A Bonds issued in 2022, an increase in the average balance of loans payable and an increase in interest rates. Loans Payable increased due to additional takedown on the line of credit for payoff of mortgages of approximately $59 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, our floorplan inventory financing revolving lines of credit increased from approximately $22.4 million as of June 30, 2022 to approximately $38.8 million as of June 30, 2023, as a result of increased inventory purchases due to supply chain issues. Inventory was approximately $61.1 million and $46.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Changes in Financial Condition
Total investment property increased 5% or $74.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company, through its opportunity zone fund, acquired one community with 118 developed homesites for approximately $3.7 million. The Company also added 534 rental homes to its communities during the first six months of 2023. The Company’s occupancy rate on its rental homes portfolio was 93.9% at June 30, 2023 as compared to 93.3% at December 31, 2022.
Marketable securities decreased 13% or $5.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was due to a net decrease in the fair value of $4.9 million and sales of securities with a cost basis of $545,000.
Mortgages payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, decreased 13% or $64.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to principal payments.
Loans payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, increased 19% or $28.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was due to an increase of $19.9 million on our revolving line of credit secured by the Company’s rental homes, $10.0 million on our revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and an increase of $25.0 million on our unsecured line of credit, offset by a decrease of $25.4 million on our floorplan inventory financing revolving lines of credit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s focus is on real estate investments, including investment in rental homes. 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, and other incurrence of indebtedness, proceeds from the DRIP, and access to the capital markets, including through its Common and Preferred ATM Programs.
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, incur other indebtedness, 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 implemented a new 2023 Preferred ATM Program on January 10, 2023 which allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s 6.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, having an aggregate sales price of up to $100 million from time to time through B. Riley. On April 4, 2023, the Company also implemented a new 2023 Common ATM Program which allows the Company to offer and sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock, having an aggregate sales price of up to $150 million from time to time through the Distribution Agents. Additionally, the Company amended its unsecured line of credit to expand available borrowings from $100 million to $180 million and expanded its revolving line of credit on notes receivable from $20 million to $35 million.

The Company intends to continue to increase its real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that over time are expected to yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. As part of this plan, we intend to seek opportunities, through our opportunity zone fund, to acquire communities that require substantial capital investment and are located in Qualified Opportunity Zones. In addition, on behalf of our joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate, we will seek opportunities to acquire manufactured home communities that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. 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 and success of our joint venture 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, 2023, the Company issued and sold 5 million shares of Common Stock through our Common ATM Programs, at a weighted average price of $16.12 per share, generating gross proceeds of $79.9 million and net proceeds of $78.4 million, after offering expenses. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company issued and sold an additional 2.1 million shares of its Common Stock under the 2023 Common ATM Program at a weighted average price of $16.23 per share, generating gross proceeds of $34.8 million and net proceeds of $34.3 million, after offering expenses.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued and sold 1.6 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock through our Preferred ATM Programs, at a weighted average price of $22.22 per share, generating gross proceeds of $35.2 million and net proceeds of $34.6 million, after offering expenses. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company issued and sold an additional 351,000 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock under the 2023 Preferred ATM Program at a weighted average price of $21.55 per share, generating gross proceeds of $7.6 million and net proceeds of $7.5 million, after offering expenses.
The Company also raised $4.6 million from the issuance of common stock in the DRIP during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which included Dividend Reinvestments of $1.4 million. Dividends paid on the common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $24.7 million, of which $1.4 million were reinvested. Dividends paid on the Series D Preferred Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $7.9 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $52.4 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the reduction in the inventory of manufactured homes in the amount of $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the increase in the inventory of manufactured homes in the amount of $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $41.5 million, marketable securities of $36.7 million and $80 million available on our unsecured revolving credit facility, with an additional $400 million potentially available pursuant to an accordion feature. We also had approximately $99.7 million available on our revolving lines of credit for the financing of home sales and purchases of inventory.
The Company owns 135 communities, of which 56 are unencumbered. Except for 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. The Company also holds a 40% equity interest in its joint venture with Nuveen, which owns two newly developed communities that are unencumbered.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had total assets of $1.4 billion and total liabilities of $756.0 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, 2023 was approximately 34% and the Company’s net debt, less securities to total market capitalization as of June 30, 2023 was approximately 32%. As of June 30, 2023, the Company does not have any 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.
