acquired or invested in 58 manufactured home communities ("Communities") and
park model communities ("Resorts") during the period from January 1, 2004
through April 30, 2004. Of these communities, 30 were reported on Form 8-K dated
March 2, 2004, and 28 were reported on Form 8-K dated March 3, 2004. The
combined investment in these 58 properties was approximately $377.4 million.

                      REQUIRED UNDER ITEM 7(b) OF FORM 8-K


MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES, INC.
PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet presents
the effect of the acquisition of ten properties from Diversified Investments,
Inc. ("Diversified"), the NHC Portfolio ("NHC Portfolio"), and O'Connell's,
Spring Gulch, Paradise, Twin Lakes, and Lakeside ("Other 2004 Acquisitions").
The Pro Forma also includes the investment of $29.7 million in preferred equity
interest in six entities controlled by Diversified Investments, Inc. and the
$1.4 million investment in the Diversified entities managing these properties
(the "Mezzanine Investments"), the $1.4 million investment in the Lake Myers,
Pine Haven, Twin Mills and Plymouth Rock joint ventures ("Joint Ventures"), the
payment of a one-time special distribution of $8.00 per share, and an additional
borrowing of $35 million under the Company's line of credit.

Related to the acquisition of the NHC portfolio, beginning in 1996, a series of
partnerships were formed between "NHC" entities and "PAMI" (the former General
Partner of NHC) entities. A trial on all claims between NHC and PAMI, including
whether NHC had the authority to consummate the transaction with the Company was
held on April 15 and 16, 2004. The Company continues to believe in the merit of
NHC's claims and defenses. Under the terms and conditions of the partnership
agreements, $69 million was paid to acquire the PAMI entities' interests.
Principals of the NHC entities will continue to operate the properties under a
management agreement with the Company and maintain a minority equity position in
the new entity. The existing dispute is related to the PAMI entities' desire to
liquidate their investments. While the possibility of additional litigation and
its attendant risks remain, we believe that providing liquidity to the NHC
entities to acquire the PAMI interests may assist in resolving the dispute.

The Company, after advice from its legal counsel, believes that there is
substantial merit to its' position that the NHC Portfolio transaction is valid.
Accordingly, the Company has treated the NHC Portfolio transaction as an
acquisition in the financial statements.

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the year ended December 31, 2003 presents the effect of the following
acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2003: Diversified, NHC, and
the Other 2004 Acquisitions; and the income from the Mezzanine Investments and
Joint Ventures.

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
are not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations, nor the
results of historical operations, had all the transactions occurred as described
above on January 1, 2003.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be
read in conjunction with the accompanying Notes to Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Combined Statements of Revenue and Certain
Expenses (included elsewhere herein).

                    Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
                      For The Year Ended December 31, 2003

                         Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors of
Manufactured Home Communities, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses of the Diversified Investments Companies Portfolio (the Properties) as
described in Note 2 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The combined statement
of revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of the Properties'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined
statement of revenue and certain expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined statement of revenue
and certain expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures made
in the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined
statement of revenue and certain expenses. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared
for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of
Manufactured Home Communities, Inc. as described in Note 1, and is not intended
to be a complete presentation of the Properties' combined revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses referred
to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenue and
certain expenses as described in Note 1 of the Properties for the year ended
December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

ended December 31, 2003 was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the
Current Report on Form 8-K of Manufactured Home Communities, Inc. The
