Certain 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 financial presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on the operations or equity as originally presented. Net Income for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 have been restated (see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-K/A) to reflect a change in the Company's accounting policy with regards to its rent control initiatives. The Company received a comment letter from the SEC with regard to prior filings. These issues were outlined in our press release dated March 4, 2005. The issues have been resolved and resulted in this restatement. (2) On November 10, 2004, we acquired KTTI Holding Company, Inc., owner of 57 Properties and approximately 3,000 acres of vacant land, for $160 million ("Thousand Trails Transaction"). These Properties are leased to Thousand Trails, the largest operator of membership-based campgrounds in the United States. The Company has provided a long-term lease of the real estate (excluding the vacant land) to Thousand Trails, which will continue to operate the Properties for the benefit of its approximately 108,000 members nationwide. The Properties are located in 16 states (primarily in the western and southern United States) and British Columbia, and contain 17,911 sites. The lease will generate $16 million in rental income to the Company on an absolute triple net basis, subject to annual escalations of 3.25%. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $2.3 million represents income for November 10, 2004 through December 31, 2004. 4 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. CONSOLIDATED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued) (3) On October 17, 2003, we closed 49 mortgage loans collateralized by 51 Properties (the "Recap") providing total proceeds of approximately $501 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.84% and with a weighted average maturity of approximately 9 years. Approximately $170 million of the proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding on the Company's line of credit and term loan. Approximately $225 million was used to pay a special distribution of $8.00 per share on January 16, 2004. The remaining funds were used for investment purposes in 2004. The Recap resulted in increased interest and amortization expense and the special distribution resulted in decreased stockholder's equity. In connection with the $501 million borrowing and subsequent special distribution, on February 27, 2004, the Company contributed all of its assets to MHC Trust, a newly formed Maryland real estate investment trust, including the Company's entire partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. This restructuring resulted in a step-up in the Company's tax basis in its assets, generating future depreciation deductions, which in turn will reduce the Company's future distribution requirements. This provides the Company with greater financial flexibility and greater growth potential (see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-K/A). (4) We believe that the book value of the Properties, which reflects the historical costs of such real estate assets less accumulated depreciation, is less than the current market value of the Properties. (5) Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), to be an appropriate measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance for equity REITs, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating performance. FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of Properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT's operating performance. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT's operating performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. 5 ITEM 8.

F-1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (Equity Lifestyle Properties) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because of the effect of a material weakness due to inadequate controls over the capitalization of certain costs, based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Equity Lifestyle Properties' management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of Equity Lifestyle Properties' internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Equity Lifestyle Properties; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of Equity Lifestyle Properties are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Equity Lifestyle Properties; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Equity Lifestyle Properties' assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management's assessment. As described in the notes to the Company's 2004 financial statements, Equity Lifestyle Properties restated previously issued financial statements to correct for errors related to the improper capitalization of certain costs associated with changing rent control restrictions. In connection with its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, management determined that Equity Lifestyle Properties' procedures and controls over the interpretation and implementation of generally accepted accounting principles as they relate to the capitalization of these costs were inadequate, and concluded that this deficiency represented a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, and this report does not affect our report dated March 24, 2005 on those financial statements. In our opinion, management's assessment that Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO control criteria. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the COSO control criteria. ERNST & YOUNG LLP Chicago, Illinois March 24, 2005 F-2 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. ("Equity Lifestyle Properties", formerly known as Manufactured Home Communities, Inc.) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(1) and (2). These financial statements and the schedules are the responsibility of Equity Lifestyle Properties' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Equity Lifestyle Properties at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and for each of the two years in the period then ended relating to expense recognition for certain costs. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2003 Equity Lifestyle Properties changed its method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Equity Lifestyle Properties internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 24, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

F-8 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (formerly Manufactured Home Communities, Inc.), together with MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and other consolidated subsidiaries ("Subsidiaries"), are referred to herein as the "Company", "ELS", "we", "us", and "our". We believe that we have qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes since our taxable year ended December 31, 1993. We plan to continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Many of these requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. We cannot, therefore, guarantee that we have qualified or will qualify in the future as a REIT. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters that may not be totally within our control and we cannot provide any assurance that the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") will agree with our analysis. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income must come from sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. We are also required to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income excluding capital gains. The fact that we hold our assets through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries further complicates the application of the REIT requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status. Furthermore, Congress and the IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new rulings that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT. We do not believe, however, that any pending or proposed tax law changes would jeopardize our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Also, unless the IRS granted us relief under certain statutory provisions, we would remain disqualified as a REIT for four years following the year we first failed to qualify. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and Federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The operations of the Company are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. The Company contributed the proceeds from its initial public offering and subsequent offerings to the Operating Partnership for a general partnership interest. In 2004, the general partnership interest was contributed to MHC Trust (see Note 5). The financial results of the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiaries are consolidated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In addition, since certain activities, if performed by the Company, may not be qualifying REIT activities under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company has formed taxable REIT subsidiaries as defined in the Code to engage in such activities. Several Properties acquired during 2004 are wholly owned by taxable REIT subsidiaries of the Company. In addition, Realty Systems, Inc. ("RSI") is a wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company that, doing business as Carefree Sales, is engaged in the business of purchasing, selling and leasing homes that are located in Properties owned and managed by the Company. Carefree Sales also provides brokerage services to customers at such Properties. Typically, customers move from a Property but do not relocate their homes. Carefree Sales may provide brokerage services, in competition with other local brokers, by seeking buyers for the homes. Carefree Sales also leases inventory homes to prospective customers with the expectation that the tenant eventually will purchase the home. Subsidiaries of RSI also lease from the Operating Partnership certain real property within or adjacent to certain Properties consisting of golf courses, pro shops, stores and restaurants. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership (the "Common OP Unitholders") receive an allocation of net income which is based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership which is shown on the Consolidated Financial Statements as Minority Interests - Common OP Units. As of December 31, 2004, the Minority Interests - Common OP Units represented 6,340,805 units of limited partnership interest ("OP Units") which are convertible into an equivalent number of shares of the Company's common stock. The issuance of additional shares of common stock or common OP Units changes the respective ownership of the Operating Partnership for both the Minority Interests and the Company. F-9 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS During 2004, the Company changed the way it accounted for costs incurred in pursuing certain rent control initiatives. As a result, the Company has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 to expense the costs of the initiatives in the year in which they were incurred because the previous method of accounting for the costs was determined to be incorrect. The Company had historically classified these costs, primarily legal, in other assets. To the extent the Company's efforts to effectively change the use and operations of the Properties were successful, the Company capitalized the costs to land improvements as an increase in the established value of the revised project and depreciated them over 30 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Consolidation The Company consolidates its majority-owned subsidiaries in which it has the ability to control the operations of the subsidiaries and all variable interest entities with respect to which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's acquisitions were all accounted for as purchases in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"). In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46R") - an interpretation of ARB 51. The objective of FIN 46R is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity ("VIE") and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company's consolidated financial statements. A company that holds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate such entity if the company absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses or receives a majority of the entity's expected residual returns if they occur, or both (i.e., the primary beneficiary). The Company will apply FIN 46R to all types of entity ownership (general and limited partnerships and corporate interests). The Company will re-evaluate and apply the provisions of FIN 46R to existing entities if certain events occur which warrant re-evaluation of such entities. In addition, the Company will apply the provisions of FIN 46R to all new entities in the future. The Company also consolidates entities in which it has a controlling direct or indirect voting interest. The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company does not have a controlling direct or indirect voting interest, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions. The cost method is applied when (i) the investment is minimal (typically less than 5%) and (ii) the Company's investment is passive. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c) Segments We manage all our operations on a property-by-property basis. Since each Property has similar economic and operational characteristics the Company has one reportable segment, which is the operation of land lease Properties. The distribution of the Properties throughout the United States reflects our belief that geographic diversification helps insulate the portfolio from regional economic influences. We intend to target new acquisitions in or near markets where the Properties are located and will also consider acquisitions of Properties outside such markets. The following table identifies our five largest markets by number of sites and provides information regarding our Properties (excludes Properties owned through Joint Ventures). PERCENT OF TOTAL MAJOR NUMBER OF PERCENT OF PROPERTY OPERATING MARKET PROPERTIES TOTAL SITES TOTAL SITES REVENUES ---------- ---------- ----------- ----------- ------------------ Florida 77 32,451 36.3% 43.5% California 44 12,865 14.4% 18.2% Arizona 27 10,514 11.8% 10.4% Texas 15 7,200 8.0% 2.3% Washington 13 3,076 3.4% 0.6% Other 71 23,280 26.1% 25.0% --- ------ ----- ----- Total 247 89,386 100.0% 100.0% === ====== ===== ===== F-11 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (d) Inventory Inventory consists of new and used Site Set homes, is stated at the lower of cost or market after consideration of the N.A.D.A. (National Automobile Dealers Association) Manufactured Housing Appraisal Guide and the current market value of each home included in the home inventory. Inventory sales revenues and resale revenues are recognized when the home sale is closed. Resale revenues are stated net of commissions paid to employees of $1,163,000 and $893,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. (e) Real Estate In accordance with SFAS No. 141, we allocate the purchase price of Properties we acquire to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on their fair values. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be available in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. Real estate is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We use a 30-year estimated life for buildings acquired and structural and land improvements, a ten-to-fifteen-year estimated life for building upgrades and a three-to-seven-year estimated life for furniture, fixtures and equipment. The values of the above and below market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease. The value associated with in-place leases is amortized over the expected term, which includes an estimated probability of lease renewal. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred, and significant renovations and improvements that improve the asset and extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and then expensed over their estimated useful life. However the useful lives, salvage value, and customary depreciation method used for land improvements and other significant assets may significantly and materially overstate the depreciation of the underlying assets and therefore understate the net income of the Company. We evaluate our Properties for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted) from a Property over the anticipated holding period is less than its carrying value. Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred, the applicable Property is reduced to fair value. For Properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time the Company has a commitment to sell the property and/or is actively marketing the property for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded. The Company accounts for its Properties held for disposition in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS No. 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". Accordingly, the results of operations for all assets sold or held for sale after January 1, 2003 have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented. (f) Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all demand and money market accounts and certificates of deposit with a maturity, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash equivalents. F-12 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (g) Notes Receivable Notes receivable generally are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or unamortized discounts or premiums net of a valuation allowance. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Discounts or premiums are amortized to income using the interest method. In certain cases we finance the sales of homes to our customers (referred to as "Chattel Loans") which loans are secured by the homes. The valuation allowance for the Chattel Loans is calculated based on a comparison of the outstanding principal balance of each note compared to the N.A.D.A. value and the current market value of the underlying manufactured home collateral. (h) Investments in Joint Ventures Investments in joint ventures in which the Company does not have a controlling direct or indirect voting interest, but can exercise significant influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting whereby the cost of an investment is adjusted for the Company's share of the equity in net income or loss from the date of acquisition and reduced by distributions received. The income or loss of each entity is allocated in accordance with the provisions of the applicable operating agreements. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interests held by each investor. Differences between the carrying amount of the Company's investment in the respective entities and the Company's share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entities are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets, as applicable. In applying the provisions of FIN 46R (see Basis of Consolidation, above), the Company determined that its Mezzanine Investment is a VIE; however, the Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary. As such, the adoption of this pronouncement had no effect on the Company's financial statements. (i) Insurance Claims The Properties are covered against fire, flood, property, earthquake, wind storm and business interruption by insurance policies containing various deductible requirements and coverage limits. Recoverable costs are classified in other assets as incurred. Proceeds are applied against the asset when received. Costs relating to capital items are treated in accordance with the Company's capitalization policy. The book value of the original capital item is written off in the replacement period. Insurance proceeds relating to the capital costs will be recorded as income in the period they are received. (j) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments include short-term investments, notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, mortgage notes payable and interest rate hedge arrangements. The fair values of all financial instruments, including notes receivable, were not materially different from their carrying values at December 31, 2004 and 2003. (k) Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. The costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans on a level yield basis. Unamortized deferred financing fees are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date. Upon amendment of the Line of Credit, unamortized deferred financing fees are accounted for in accordance with EITF No. 98-14, "Debtor's Accounting for Changes in Line-of-Credit or Revolving-Debt Arrangements." Accumulated amortization for such costs was $4.9 million and $2.7 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. F-13 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (l) Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for leases with its customers as operating leases. Rental income is recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a customer's stay, the majority of which are for a term of not greater than one year. We will reserve for receivables when we believe the ultimate collection is less than probable. Our provision for uncollectable rents receivable was approximately $1.0 million as of December 31, 2004 and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2003. Income from home sales is recognized when the earnings process is complete. The earnings process is complete when the home has been delivered, the purchaser has accepted the home and title has transferred. (m) Minority Interests Net income is allocated to Common OP Unitholders based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. An ownership percentage is represented by dividing the number of Common OP Units held by the Common OP Unitholders (6,340,805 and 5,312,387 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively) by OP Units and shares of Common Stock outstanding. Issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or Common OP Units changes the percentage ownership of both the Minority Interests and the Company. Due in part to the exchange rights (which provide for the conversion of Common OP Units into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis), such transactions and the proceeds there from are treated as capital transactions and result in an allocation between stockholders' equity and Minority Interests to account for the change in the respective percentage ownership of the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership. (n) Income Taxes Due to the structure of the Company as a REIT, the results of operations contain no provision for Federal income taxes. However, the Company may be subject to certain state and local income, excise or franchise taxes. We paid state and local taxes of approximately $88,000, $56,000 and $20,000 during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. As of December 31, 2004, net investment in real estate and notes receivable had a Federal tax basis of approximately $1,386 million and $13.3 million, respectively. (o) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. (p) Reclassifications Certain 2003 and 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 financial presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on the operations or equity as originally presented. (q) Stock Compensation Prior to January 1, 2003, we accounted for our stock compensation in accordance with APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", based upon the intrinsic value method. This method results in no compensation expense for options issued with an exercise price equal to or exceeding the market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2003, we elected to account for our stock compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and its amendment (SFAS No. 148), "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", which resulted in compensation expense being recorded based on the fair value of the stock options and other equity awards issued (see Note 14). F-14 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128") defines the calculation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average shares outstanding during each year and basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. The conversion of OP Units has been excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation. The conversion of an OP Unit to a share of Common Stock has no material effect on earnings per common share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (amounts in thousands): YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------- 2003 2002 2004 (Restated) (Restated) ------- ---------- ---------- NUMERATORS: INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS: Income from continuing operations - basic ................ $ 4,032 $15,542 $19,148 Amounts allocated to dilutive securities ................. 936 3,860 4,708 ------- ------- ------- Income from continuing operations - fully diluted ........ $ 4,968 $19,402 $23,856 ======= ======= ======= INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: Income from discontinued operations - basic .............. $ (6) $ 9,590 $12,739 Amounts allocated to dilutive securities ................. -- 2,144 3,078 ------- ------- ------- Income from discontinued operations - fully diluted ...... $ (6) $11,734 $15,817 ======= ======= ======= NET INCOME AVAILABLE FOR COMMON SHARES: Net income available for Common Shares - basic ........... $ 4,026 $25,132 $31,887 Amounts allocated to dilutive securities ................. 936 6,004 7,786 ------- ------- ------- Net income available for Common Shares - fully diluted $ 4,962 $31,136 $39,673 ======= ======= ======= DENOMINATOR: Weighted average Common Shares outstanding - basic ................................... 22,849 22,077 21,617 Effect of dilutive securities: Redemption of Common OP Units for Common Shares .......... 6,067 5,342 5,403 Employee stock options and restricted shares ............. 549 583 612 ------- ------- ------- Weighted average Common Shares outstanding - fully diluted ........................... 29,465 28,002 27,632 ======= ======= ======= F-15 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC.

The remaining approximately 21.5% and 20%, respectively, is owned by the Common OP Unitholders. On September 30, 1999, the Operating Partnership completed a $125 million private placement of 9.0% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Units ("POP Units") with two institutional investors. The POP Units, which are callable by the Company after five years, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption. The Operating Partnership pays distributions of 9.0% per annum on the $125 million of POP Units. Distributions on the POP Units are paid quarterly on the last calendar day of each quarter. The following distributions have been declared and paid to common stockholders and Minority Interests since January 1, 2002: DISTRIBUTION FOR THE QUARTER SHAREHOLDER RECORD AMOUNT PER SHARE ENDING DATE PAYMENT DATE ---------------- ------------------ ------------------ ---------------- $0.4750 March 31, 2002 March 29, 2002 April 12, 2002 $0.4750 June 30, 2002 June 28, 2002 July 12, 2002 $0.4750 September 30, 2002 September 27, 2002 October 11, 2002 $0.4750 December 31, 2002 December 27, 2002 January 10, 2003 $0.4950 March 31, 2003 March 28, 2003 April 11, 2003 $0.4950 June 30, 2003 June 27, 2003 July 11, 2003 $0.4950 September 30, 2003 September 26, 2003 October 10, 2003 $8.00 December 31, 2003 January 8, 2004 January 16, 2004 $0.0125 March 31, 2004 March 26, 2004 April 9, 2004 $0.0125 June 30, 2004 June 25, 2004 July 9, 2004 $0.0125 September 30, 2004 September 24, 2004 October 8, 2004 $0.0125 December 31, 2004 December 31, 2004 January 14, 2005 On December 12, 2003, we declared a one-time special distribution of $8.00 per share payable to stockholders of record on January 8, 2004. We used proceeds from the $501 million borrowing in October 2003 to pay the special distribution on January 16, 2004. The special cash dividend was reflected on stockholders' 2004 1099-DIV issued in January 2005. In connection with the $501 million borrowing and subsequent special distribution, on February 27, 2004, the Company contributed all of its assets to MHC Trust, a newly formed Maryland real estate investment trust, including the Company's entire partnership interest in Operating Partnership. The Company determined that a taxable transaction in connection with the special distribution to stockholders would be in the Company's best interests. This was accomplished by the contribution of the Company's interest in the Operating Partnership to MHC Trust in exchange for all the common and preferred stock of MHC Trust. Due to the Company's tax basis in its interest in the Operating Partnership, the Company F-16 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 5 - COMMON STOCK AND OTHER EQUITY RELATED TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) recognized $180 million of taxable income as a result of its contribution, as opposed to a nontaxable reduction of the Company's tax basis in its interest in the Operating Partnership. This restructuring resulted in a step-up in the Company's tax basis in its assets, generating future depreciation deductions, which in turn will reduce the Company's future distribution requirements. The Company intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, with its assets consisting of interests in MHC Trust. MHC Trust, in turn, intends to also qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code and will be the general partner of the Operating Partnership. On May 1, 2004, in connection with the restructuring, MHC Trust sold cumulative preferred stock to a limited number of unaffiliated investors. The Company adopted, effective July 1, 1997, the 1997 Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). Pursuant to the ESPP, certain employees and directors of the Company may each annually acquire up to $250,000 of Common Stock of the Company. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the ESPP shall not exceed 1,000,000, subject to adjustment by the Company's Board of Directors. The Common Stock may be purchased monthly at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of: (a) the closing price for a share of Common Stock on the last day of the offering period; and (b) the closing price for a share of Common Stock on the first day of the offering period. Shares of Common Stock issued through the ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were 80,955, 82,943 and 71,107, respectively. NOTE 6- INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE Land improvements consist primarily of improvements such as grading, landscaping and infrastructure items such as streets, sidewalks or water mains. Depreciable property consists of permanent buildings in the Properties such as clubhouses, laundry facilities, maintenance storage facilities, and furniture, fixtures and equipment. All acquisitions have been accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired assets are included in the statements of operations from the dates of acquisition. We acquired all of these Properties from unaffiliated third parties. During the three years ended December 31, 2004, the Company acquired the following Properties (amounts in millions, except site information): 1) During the year ended December 31, 2004, we acquired the following Properties: REAL NET CLOSING DATE PROPERTY LOCATION TOTAL SITES ESTATE DEBT EQUITY ------------ ---------------------------- ------------------ ----------- ------ ------ ------ ACQUISITIONS: January 15, 2004 O'Connell's Amboy, IL 668 $ 6.6 $ 5.0 $ 1.6 January 30, 2004 Spring Gulch New Holland, PA 420 6.4 4.8 1.6 February 3, 2004 Paradise Mesa, AZ 950 25.7 20.0 5.7 February 18, 2004 Twin Lakes Chocowinity, NC 400 5.2 3.8 1.4 February 19, 2004 Lakeside New Carlisle, IN 95 1.7 -- 1.7 February 5, 2004 Diversified Portfolio Various 2,567 64.0 41.6 20.9 February 17, 2004 NHC Portfolio (a) Various 11,311 235.0 159.0 69.0 May 3, 2004 Viewpoint Mesa, AZ 1,928 81.3 44.0 37.3 May 12, 2004 Cactus Gardens Yuma, AZ 430 7.9 4.9 3.0 May 13, 2004 Monte Vista Mesa, AZ 832 45.8 23.0 22.8 May 14, 2004 GE Portfolio Various 1,155 52.9 37.7 15.2 September 8, 2004 Yukon Trails Lyndon Station, WI 214 2.2 -- 2.2 November 10, 2004 Thousand Trail Portfolio (b) Various 17,911 161.8 120.0 42.2 November 4, 2004 Caledonia Caledonia, WI 247 1.5 -- 1.5 December 30, 2004 Fremont Fremont, WI 325 5.7 4.3 1.4 a) On February 17, 2004, the Company acquired 93% of PAMI entities' interests in 28 Properties.

NOTE 14 - STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCK GRANTS The Company's Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the "Plan") was adopted in December 1992 and amended and restated from time to time, most recently effective March 23, 2001. Pursuant to the Plan, officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company are offered the opportunity (i) to acquire shares of Common Stock through the grant of stock options ("Options"), including non-qualified stock options and, for key employees, incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code; and (ii) to be awarded shares of Common Stock ("Restricted Stock Grants"), subject to conditions and restrictions determined by the Compensation, Nominating, and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). The Compensation Committee will determine the F-24 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 14 - STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCK GRANTS (CONTINUED) vesting schedule, if any, of each Option and the term, which term shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant. As to the Options that have been granted through December 31, 2004 to officers, employees and consultants, generally, one-third are exercisable one year after the initial grant, one-third are exercisable two years following the date such Options were granted and the remaining one-third are exercisable three years following the date such Options were granted. A maximum of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock are available for grant under the Plan and no more than 250,000 shares may be subject to grants to any one individual in any calendar year. Grants under the Plan are made by the Compensation Committee, which determines the individuals eligible to receive awards, the types of awards, and the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to any award. In addition, the terms of two specific types of awards are contemplated under the Plan: - The first type of award is a grant of Options or Restricted Stock Grants of Common Stock made to each member of the Board at the meeting held immediately after each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders. Generally, if the director elects to receive Options, the grant will cover 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. If the director elects to receive a Restricted Stock Grant of Common Stock, he or she will receive an award of 2,000 shares of Common Stock. Exercisability or vesting with respect to either type of award will be with respect to one-third of the award after six months, two-thirds of the award after one year, and the full award after two years. - The second type of award is a grant of Common Stock in lieu of 50% of their bonus otherwise payable to individuals with a title of Vice President or above. A recipient can request that the Compensation Committee pay a greater or lesser portion of the bonus in shares of Common Stock. Prior to 2003, we accounted for our stock compensation in accordance with APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", based upon the intrinsic value method. This method results in no compensation expense for Options issued with an exercise price equal to or exceeding the market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2003, we elected to account for our stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and its amendment (SFAS No. 148), "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", which will result in compensation expense being recorded based on the fair value of the Options and other equity awards issued. SFAS No. 148 provides three possible transition methods for changing to the fair value method. We have elected to use the modified-prospective method. This method requires that we recognize stock-based employee compensation cost from the beginning of the fiscal year in which the recognition provisions are first applied as if the fair value method had been used to account for all employee awards granted, or settled in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method was applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period presented (amounts in thousands, except per share data): 2003 2002 2004 (Restated) (Restated) ------- ---------- ---------- Net income available for Common Shares as reported ............................. $ 4,026 $25,132 $31,887 Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in net income as reported ...... 2,899 2,139 2,185 Deduct: Stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards .......

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 14- STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCK GRANTS (CONTINUED) Restricted Stock Grants In 2002, the Company awarded Restricted Stock Grants for 69,750 shares of Common Stock to certain members of senior management of the Company. These Restricted Stock Grants vest over three years, but may be restricted for a period of up to ten years depending upon certain performance benchmarks tied to increases in funds from operations being met. The fair market value of these Restricted Stock Grants of approximately $2.2 million as of the date of grant was treated in 2002 as deferred compensation and amortized in accordance with their vesting. In 2004, the Company awarded Restricted Stock Grants for 135,000 shares of Common Stock to certain members of senior management of the Company. These Restricted Stock Grants vest over three years, but may be restricted for a period of up to ten years depending upon certain performance benchmarks tied to increases in funds from operations being met. The fair market value of these Restricted Stock Grants was approximately $5.0 million as of the date of grant and is recorded as compensation expense and paid in capital over the three year vesting period. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company awarded Restricted Stock Grants for 40,000, 35,000 and 16,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to directors with a fair market value of approximately $1,386,000, $733,000 and $376,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $2.7, $1.8 and $1.5 million related to Restricted Stock Grants in 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The balance of unamortized deferred compensation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $0.2 and $0.5 million, respectively.

The 401(k) Plan permits eligible employees of the Company and those of any Subsidiary to defer up to 19% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis subject to certain maximum amounts. In addition, the Company will match dollar-for-dollar the participant's contribution up to 4% of the participant's eligible compensation. In addition, amounts contributed by the Company will vest, on a prorated basis, according to the participant's vesting schedule. After five years of employment with the Company, the participants will be 100% vested for all amounts contributed by the Company. Additionally, a discretionary profit sharing component of the 401(k) Plan provides for a contribution to be made annually for each participant in an amount, if any, as determined by the Company. All employee contributions are 100% vested. The Company's contribution to the 401(k) Plan was approximately $545,271, $240,000, and $248,000, for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The Company has established a supplemental executive retirement plan (the "SERP") to provide certain officers and directors an opportunity to defer a portion of their eligible compensation in order to save for retirement and for the education of their children. The SERP is restricted to investments in Company common shares, certain marketable securities that have been specifically approved, or cash equivalents. In accordance with EITF 97-14 "Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested", the deferred compensation liability represented in the SERP and the securities issued to fund such deferred compensation liability are consolidated by the Company on the balance sheet. Assets held in the SERP are included in other assets and are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Company shares held in the SERP are classified in stockholders equity due to the inability of the Company to repurchase these shares. NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES DEANZA SANTA CRUZ The customers of DeAnza Santa Cruz Mobile Estates, a Property located in Santa Cruz, California, brought several actions opposing fees and charges in connection with water service at the Property. As a result of one action, the Company rebated approximately $36,000 to the customers. The DeAnza Santa Cruz Homeowners Association ("HOA") then proceeded to a jury trial alleging these "overcharges" entitled them to an award of punitive damages. In January 1999, a jury awarded the HOA $6.0 million in punitive damages. On December 21, 2001 the California Court of Appeal for the Sixth District reversed the $6.0 million punitive damage award, the related award of attorneys' fees, and, as a result, all post-judgment interest thereon, on the basis that punitive damages are not available as a remedy for a statutory violation of the California Mobilehome Residency Law ("MRL"). The decision of the appellate court left the HOA, the plaintiff in this matter, with the right to seek a new trial in which it must prove its entitlement to either the statutory penalty and attorneys' fees available under the MRL or punitive damages based on causes of action for fraud, misrepresentation or other tort. In order to resolve this matter, the Company accrued for and agreed to pay $201,000 to the HOA. This payment resolved the punitive damages claim. The HOA's attorney made a motion asking for an award of attorneys' fees and costs in the amount of approximately $1.5 million as a result of this resolution of the litigation. On April 2, 2003 the court awarded attorney's fees to the HOA's attorney in the amount of $593,000 and court costs of approximately $20,000. The Company appealed this award. On July 13, 2004, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the award of attorney's fees in favor of the HOA's attorney. OTHER CALIFORNIA RENT CONTROL LITIGATION As part of the Company's effort to realize the value of its Properties subject to rent control, the Company has initiated lawsuits against several municipalities in California. The Company's goal is to achieve a level of regulatory fairness in California's rent control jurisdictions, and in particular those jurisdictions that prohibit increasing rents to market upon turnover. This regulatory feature, called vacancy control, allows tenants to sell their homes for a premium representing the value of the future discounted rent-controlled rents. In the Company's view, such regulation results in a transfer of the value of the Company's stockholders' land, which would otherwise be reflected in market rents, to tenants upon the sales of their F-28 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) homes in the form of an inflated purchase price that cannot be attributed to the value of the home being sold. As a result, in the Company's view, the Company loses the value of its asset and the selling tenant leaves the Property with a windfall premium. The Company has discovered through the litigation process that certain municipalities considered condemning the Company's Properties at values well below the value of the underlying land. In the Company's view, a failure to articulate market rents for sites governed by restrictive rent control would put the Company at risk for condemnation or eminent domain proceedings based on artificially reduced rents. Such a physical taking, should it occur, could represent substantial lost value to stockholders. The Company is cognizant of the need for affordable housing in the jurisdictions, but asserts that restrictive rent regulation with vacancy control does not promote this purpose because the benefits of such regulation are fully capitalized into the prices of the homes sold. The Company estimates that the annual rent subsidy to tenants in these jurisdictions is approximately $15 million. In a more well balanced regulatory environment, the Company would receive market rents that would eliminate the subsidy and homes would trade at or near their intrinsic value. In connection with such efforts, the Company announced it has entered into a settlement agreement with the City of Santa Cruz, California and that, pursuant to the settlement agreement, the City amended its rent control ordinance to exempt the Company's Property from rent control as long as the Company offers a long term lease which gives the Company the ability to increase rents to market upon turnover and bases annual rent increases on the CPI. The settlement agreement benefits the Company's stockholders by allowing them to receive the value of their investment in this Property through vacancy decontrol while preserving annual CPI based rent increases in this age restricted Property. The Company has filed two lawsuits in Federal court against the City of San Rafael, challenging its rent control ordinance on constitutional grounds. The Company believes that one of those lawsuits was settled by the City agreeing to amend the ordinance to permit adjustments to market rent upon turnover. The City subsequently rejected the settlement agreement. The Court initially found the settlement agreement was binding on the City, but then reconsidered and determined to submit the claim of breach of the settlement agreement to a jury. In October 2002, the first case against the City went to trial, based on both breach of the settlement agreement and the constitutional claims. A jury found no breach of the settlement agreement; the Company then filed motions asking the Court to rule in its favor on that claim, notwithstanding the jury verdict. The Court has postponed decision on those motions and on the constitutional claims, pending a ruling on some property rights issues by the United States Supreme Court. In the event that the Court does not rule in favor of the Company on either the settlement agreement or the constitutional claims, then the Company has pending claims seeking a declaration that it can close the Property and convert it to another use. The Company's efforts to achieve a balanced regulatory environment incentivize tenant groups to file lawsuits against the Company seeking large damage awards. The homeowners association at Contempo Marin ("CMHOA"), a 396 site Property in San Rafael, California, sued the Company in December 2000 over a prior settlement agreement on a capital expenditure pass-through after the Company sued the City of San Rafael in October 2000 alleging its rent control ordinance is unconstitutional. In the Contempo Marin case, the CMHOA prevailed on a motion for summary judgment on an issue that permits the Company to collect only $3.72 out of a monthly pass-through amount of $7.50 that the Company believes had been agreed to by the CMHOA in a settlement agreement. On May 23, 2004, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's order dismissing the Company's claims against the City of San Rafael. The trial court has set a trial date in the second quarter of 2005 on the CMHOA's remaining claims for damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. The Company believes that such lawsuits will be a consequence of the Company's efforts to change rent control since tenant groups actively desire to preserve the premium value of their homes in addition to the discounted rents provided by rent control. The Company has determined that its efforts to rebalance the regulatory environment despite the risk of litigation from tenant groups are necessary not only because of the $15 million annual subsidy to tenants, but also because of the condemnation risk. Similarly, in June 2003, the Company won a judgment against the City of Santee in California Superior Court (case no. 777094). The effect of the judgment was to invalidate, on state law grounds, two (2) rent control ordinances the City of Santee had enforced against the Company and other property owners. However, the Court allowed the City to continue to enforce a rent control ordinance that predated the two invalid ordinances (the "prior ordinance"). As a result of the judgment the Company was entitled to collect a one-time rent increase based upon the difference in annual adjustments between the invalid ordinance(s) and the prior ordinances and to adjust its base rents to reflect what the Company could have charged had the prior ordinance been continually in effect. The City of Santee appealed the judgment. The court of appeal and California Supreme Court refused to stay enforcement of these rent adjustments pending appeal. After the City was unable to obtain a F-29 EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) stay, the City and the tenant association each sued the Company in separate actions alleging the rent adjustments pursuant to the judgment violate the prior ordinance (Case Nos. GIE 020887 and GIE 020524). They seek to rescind the rent adjustments, refunds of amounts paid, and penalties and damages in these separate actions. On January 25, 2005, the California Court of Appeal reversed the judgment in part and affirmed it in part with a remand. The Court of Appeal affirmed that one ordinance was unlawfully adopted and therefore void and that the second ordinance contained unconstitutional provisions. However, the Court ruled the City had the authority to cure the issues with the first ordinance retroactively. On remand the trial court is directed to decide the issue of damages to the Company which the Company believes is consistent with the Company receiving the economic benefit of invalidating one of the ordinances and also consistent with the Company's position that it is entitled to market rent and not merely a higher amount of regulated rent. The Company will petition the Supreme Court of California for review of certain aspects of this decision. The Company intends to vigorously defend the two new lawsuits. In addition, the Company has sued the City of Santee in Federal court alleging all three of the ordinances are unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution because they fail to substantially advance a legitimate state interest. Thus, it is the Company's position that the ordinances are subject to invalidation as a matter of law in the Federal court action. Separately, the Federal District Court granted the City's Motion for Summary Judgment in the Company's Federal Court lawsuit. This decision was based not on the merits, but on procedural grounds, including that the Company's claims were moot given its success in the state court case. The Company intends to appeal this ruling and believes the outcome will be affected by the cases currently before the Ninth Circuit and United States Supreme Court. Moreover, in July 2004, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal decided the case of Cashman v. City of Cotati, a Property owner's challenge to the City's rent control ordinance, and stated that a rent control ordinance that does not on its face provide for a mechanism to prevent the capture of a premium is unconstitutional, as a matter of law, absent sufficient externalities rendering a premium unavailable. This reasoning supports the legal position the Company has put forth in its opposition to rent control in general and vacancy control in particular. The City of Cotati has petitioned the Ninth Circuit for rehearing and that petition is pending. In addition, in October 2004, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari in State of Hawaii vs. Chevron USA, Inc., a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal case that upholds the standard that a regulation must substantially advance a legitimate state purpose in order to be constitutionally viable. The case was argued before the United States Supreme Court on February 22, 2005. The ultimate outcome of these cases will guide the Company's continued efforts to realize the value of its Properties which are subject to rent control and the Company's efforts to achieve a level of regulatory fairness in rent control jurisdictions.
