Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO, commented on the results for the third quarter of 2013, "UMH is pleased with its accomplishments during the quarter. Our portfolio occupancy increased 200 basis points over the prior year quarter from 80% to 82% at quarter end. Our income from community operations (defined as rental and related income less community operating expenses) increased 40% from $4,543,000 for the prior year quarter to $6,369,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Our community operating costs for the quarter include repairs and maintenance and other costs associated with bringing our newly acquired communities up to the high UMH standards. These expenses should fall as we complete the process of upgrading these communities, adding rental homes, and creating new sales centers. While demand for rentals remains very strong, growth in home sales is trending higher but at a much slower pace. We have reduced our sales losses over the past nine months and look forward to generating sales profits as demand increases. We are on track to see the benefits of our acquisitions and our efforts to increase occupancy and sales profits."
"UMH has been very successful in acquiring new communities throughout the year. As of quarter end, we have grown our total home sites by 23% over the prior year period. Additionally, we announced today the acquisition of five manufactured home communities totaling 519 developed home sites, for a purchase price of $11,800,000. With this acquisition, we have increased our portfolio by approximately 26% since year end 2012. Our portfolio is now comprised of seventy-four communities containing approximately 13,400 developed home sites. Our acquisitions are being well-integrated and have resulted in increased earnings per share from our community operations. We believe that the Company is well positioned to continue to execute its growth strategy and anticipates additional acquisitions in 2014."

(1) Non-GAAP Information: We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds From Operations (FFO), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of a REIT. FFO, as defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), represents Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), excluding Extraordinary Items, as defined under US GAAP, Gains or Losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, Impairment Charges related to depreciable real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as Real Estate Asset Depreciation and Amortization. NAREIT created FFO as a non-US GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Core Funds From Operations (Core FFO), as FFO plus Acquisition Costs. FFO and Core FFO should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. FFO and Core FFO exclude historical Cost Depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost bases. The items excluded from FFO and Core FFO are significant components in understanding the Company's financial performance.
FFO and Core FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by US GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to Net Income 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. FFO and Core FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs.
The Company's FFO and Core FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is calculated as follows:
Three Months | Nine Months | |||||||
9/30/13 | 9/30/12 | 9/30/13 | 9/30/12 | |||||
