Documents Incorporated by Reference: - Exhibits incorporated by reference are listed in Part IV, Item (a)(3). PART I ITEM I - BUSINESS General Development of Business United Mobile Homes, Inc. (the Company) owns and operates twenty-five manufactured home communities containing 5,979 sites. The communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The Company was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1968. Its executive offices are located at 3499 Route 9, Suite 3C, Freehold, New Jersey 07728. Its telephone number is (732) 577-9997. Effective January 1, 1992, the Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under Sections 856-858 of the Internal Revenue Code. The company received from the Internal Revenue Service a favorable revenue ruling that it qualified as a REIT. The Company will not be taxed on the portion of its income which is distributed to shareholders, provided it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income, has at least 75% of its assets in real estate investments and meets certain other requirements for qualification as a REIT. Background Monmouth Capital Corporation, a publicly-owned Small Business Investment Corporation, that had owned approximately 66% of the Company's stock, spun off to its shareholders in a registered distribution three shares of United Mobile Homes, Inc. for each share of Monmouth Capital Corporation. The Company in 1984 and 1985 issued additional shares through rights offerings. The Company has been in operation for thirty-four years, the last seventeen of which have been as a publicly-owned corporation. Narrative Description of Business The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities - leasing manufactured home spaces on a month-to-month basis to private manufactured home owners. The Company also leases homes to residents. A manufactured home community is designed to accommodate detached, single family manufactured housing units, which are produced off-site by manufacturers and delivered by truck to the site. Such dwellings, referred to as manufactured homes (which should be distinguished from travel trailers), are manufactured in a variety of styles and sizes. Manufactured homes, once located, are rarely transported to another site; typically, a manufactured home remains on site and is sold by its owner to a subsequent occupant. This transaction is commonly handled through a broker in the same manner that a more traditional single-family residence is sold. Each owner of a manufactured home leases the site on which the home is located from the Company. -2- ITEM I - BUSINESS, (CONT'D.) Manufactured homes are being accepted by the public as a viable and economically attractive alternative to common stick- built single-family housing. During the past five years, approximately one-fifth of all single-family homes built and sold in the nation have been manufactured homes. The size of a modern manufactured home community is limited, as are other residential communities, by factors such as geography, topography, and funds available for development. Generally, modern manufactured home communities contain buildings for recreation, green areas, and other common area facilities, which, as distinguished from resident owned manufactured homes, are the property of the community owner. In addition to such general improvements, certain manufactured home communities include recreational improvements such as swimming pools, tennis courts and playgrounds. Municipal water and sewer services are available to some manufactured home communities, while other communities supply these facilities on site. The housing provided by the manufactured home community, therefore, includes not only the manufactured dwelling unit (owned by the resident), but also the physical community framework and services provided by the manufactured home community. The community manager interviews prospective residents, ensures compliance with community regulations, maintains public areas and community facilities and is responsible for the overall appearance of the community. The manufactured home community, once fully occupied, tends to achieve a stable rate of occupancy. The cost and effort in moving a home once it is located in a community encourages the owner of the manufactured home to resell the manufactured home rather than to remove it from the community. This ability to produce relatively predictable income, together with the location of the community, its condition and its appearance, are factors in the long-term appreciation of the community. Effective April 1, 2001, the Company, through its wholly- owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F), began to conduct manufactured home sales in its communities. This company was established to enhance the occupancy of the communities. Investment and Other Policies of the Company The Company may invest in improved and unimproved real property and may develop unimproved real property. Such properties may be located throughout the United States. In the past, it has concentrated on the northeast. The Company has no restrictions on how it finances new manufactured home communities. It may finance communities by purchase money mortgages or other financing, including first liens, wraparound mortgages or subordinated indebtedness. In connection with its ongoing activities, the Company may issue notes, mortgages or other senior securities. The Company intends to use both secured and unsecured lines of credit. The Company may issue securities for property, however, this has not occurred to date, and it may repurchase or reacquire its shares from time to time if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, such acquisition is advantageous to the Company. During 2002, the Company purchased 46,000 shares of its own stock at a total cost of $603,024. -3- ITEM I - BUSINESS, (CONT'D.) The Company also invests in both debt and equity securities of other REITs. The Company from time to time may purchase these securities on margin when the interest and dividend yields exceed the cost of funds. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had $32,784,968 and $25,917,748, respectively, of securities available for sale. Included in these securities are Preferred Stock and Debt securities of $18,012,877 and $2,297,125, respectively, at December 31, 2002 and $15,219,657 and $1,452,413, respectively, at December 31, 2001. The unrealized gain on securities available for sale at December 31, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $3,988,429 and $3,541,001, respectively. Property Maintenance and Improvement Policies It is the policy of the Company to properly maintain, modernize, expand and make improvements to its properties when required. The Company anticipates that renovation expenditures with respect to its present properties during 2003 will be consistent with 2002 expenditures. It is the policy of the Company to maintain adequate insurance coverage on all of its properties; and, in the opinion of the Company, all of its properties are adequately insured. Risk Factors Real Estate Industry and Competition Risks The Company's investments will be subject to the risks generally associated with the ownership of real property, including the uncertainty of cash flow to meet fixed obligations, adverse changes in national economic conditions, changes in the relative popularity (and thus the relative price) of the Company's real estate investments when compared to other investments, adverse local market conditions due to changes in general or local economic conditions or neighborhood values, changes in interest rates and in the availability of mortgage funds, costs and terms of mortgage funds, the financial conditions of residents and sellers of properties, changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses (including corrections of potential environmental issues as well as more stringent governmental regulations regarding the environment), governmental rules and fiscal policies including possible proposals for rent controls, as well as expenses resulting from acts of God, uninsured losses and other factors which are beyond the control of the Company. The Company's investments are primarily in rental properties and are subject to the risk or inability to attract or retain residents with a consequent decline in rental income as a result of adverse changes in local real estate markets or other factors. The Company will be competing for manufactured home community investments with numerous other real estate entities, such as individuals, corporations, REITs and other enterprises engaged in real estate activities, possibly including certain affiliates of the Company. In many cases, the competing concerns may be larger and better financed than the Company, making it difficult for the Company to secure new manufactured home community investments. Competition among private and institutional purchasers of manufactured home community investments has increased substantially in recent years, with resulting increases in the purchase price paid for manufactured home communities and consequent higher fixed costs. -4- ITEM I - BUSINESS, (CONT'D.) Governmental Regulations Local zoning and use laws, environmental statutes and other governmental requirements may restrict expansion, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. These regulations may prevent the Company from taking advantage of economic opportunities. Legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act may require the Company to modify its properties. Future legislation may impose additional requirements. No prediction can be made as to what requirements may be enacted or what changes may be implemented to existing legislation. Rent control affects only two of the Company's manufactured home communities which are in New Jersey and has resulted in a slower growth of earnings from these properties. Environmental Liability Risks Current and former real estate owners and operators may be required by law to investigate and clean up hazardous substances released at the properties they own or operate or have owned or operated. They may be liable to the government or to third parties for property damage, investigation costs and cleanup costs. Contamination may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. There is no way of determining at this time the magnitude of any potential liability to which the Company may be subject arising out of unknown environmental conditions or violations with respect to the properties it owns. Environmental laws today can impose liability on a previous owner or operator of a property that owned or operated the property at a time when hazardous or toxic substances were disposed of, or released from, the property. A conveyance of the property, therefore, does not relieve the owner or operator from liability. The Company is not aware of any environmental liabilities relating to its properties which would have a material adverse effect on its business, assets, or results of operations. However, no assurance can be given that environmental liabilities will not arise in the future. The Company owns and operates 11 manufactured home communities which either have their own wastewater treatment facility, water distribution system, or both. At these locations, the Company is subject to compliance of monthly, quarterly and yearly testing for contaminants as outlined by the individual state's Department of Environmental Protection Agencies. Currently, the Company is not subject to radon or asbestos monitoring requirements. Insurance Considerations The Company generally maintains insurance policies related to its business, including casualty, general liability and other policies covering business operations, employees and assets. The Company may be required to bear all losses that are not adequately covered by insurance. Although management believes that the Company's insurance programs are adequate, no assurance can be given that the Company will not incur losses in excess of its insurance coverage, or that the Company will be able to obtain insurance in the future at acceptable levels and reasonable cost. -5- ITEM I - BUSINESS, (CONT'D.) Financing Risks The Company finances a portion of its investments through debt. This debt creates risks, including a) rising interest rates on floating rate debt; b) failure to repay or refinance existing debt as it matures, which may result in forced disposition of assets on disadvantageous terms; c) refinancing terms less favorable than the terms of the existing debt; and d) failure to meet required payments of principal and/or interest. Amendment of Business Policies The Board of Directors determines the growth, investment, financing, capitalization, borrowing, REIT status, operating and distribution policies. Although the Board of Directors has no present intention to amend or revise any of these policies, these policies may be amended or revised without notice to shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders may not have control over changes in Company policies. Market Perception of Common Stock The market value of the Company's common stock may be based primarily upon the market's perception of the Company's growth potential and current and future cash dividends, and may be secondarily based upon the real estate market value of the Company's underlying assets. The market price of the Company's common stock is influenced by the dividend on the Company's common stock relative to market interest rates. Rising interest rates may lead potential buyers of the Company's common stock to expect a higher dividend rate, which would adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. In addition, rising interest rates would result in increased expense, thereby adversely affecting cash flow and the Company's ability to service the Company's indebtedness and pay dividends. Qualification as a REIT The Company intends to qualify as a REIT. If it fails to do so, it will not be allowed to deduct distributions to shareholders in computing taxable income and will be subject to Federal and state income taxes, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, at regular corporate rates. In addition, the Company may be barred from qualification as a REIT for the four years following disqualification. The additional tax incurred at regular corporate rates would reduce significantly the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for debt service. Furthermore, the Company would no longer be required to make any distributions to shareholders as a condition to REIT qualification. Any distributions to shareholders that otherwise would have been subject to tax as a capital gain dividend would be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits. Corporate distributees, however, may be eligible for the dividends received deduction on the distributions, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. -6- ITEM I - BUSINESS, (CONT'D.) To qualify as a REIT, the Company must comply with certain highly technical and complex requirements. Management cannot be certain that the Company has complied with these requirements since there are few judicial and administrative interpretations of these provisions. In addition, facts and circumstances that may be beyond the Company's control may affect the Company's ability to qualify as a REIT. No assurance can be given that new legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws significantly with respect to qualification as a REIT or with respect to the Federal Income tax consequences of qualification. The company intends to qualify as a REIT. However, no assurance can be given that the Company qualifies as a REIT or will remain qualified as a REIT. Notwithstanding the Company's status as a REIT, the Company is subject to various Federal, state and local taxes on income and property. The Company will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains, provided, however, that properly designated undistributed capital gains will effectively avoid taxation at the stockholder level. The Company may also have to pay some state income or franchise taxes because not all states treat REITS in the same manner as they are treated for Federal income tax purposes. Number of Employees On March 14, 2003, the Company had approximately 100 employees, including Officers. During the year, the Company hires approximately 20 part-time and full-time temporary employees as lifeguards, grounds keepers and for emergency repairs. -7- ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES United Mobile Homes, Inc. is engaged in the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The Company owns twenty-five manufactured home communities containing 5,979 sites. The following is a brief description of the properties owned by the Company:

-9- ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES, (CONT'D.) Occupancy rates are very stable with little year-to-year changes once the community is filled (generally 90% or greater occupancy). It is the Company's experience that, once a home is set up in the community, it is seldom moved. The home if sold, is sold on-site to a new owner. Residents generally rent on a month-to-month basis. Some residents have one-year leases. Southwind Village and Woodlawn Village (both in New Jersey) are the only communities subject to local rent control laws. There are 17 sites at Sandy Valley which are under a consent order with the Federal Government. This order provides that, as these sites become vacant, they cannot be reused. As of December 31, 2002, all of these sites were vacant. The restrictions on use were known at the time of purchase, and the item is not material to the operation of Sandy Valley Estates. In connection with the operation of its 5,979 sites, the Company operates approximately 490 rental units. These are homes owned by the Company and rented to residents. The Company engages in the rental of manufactured homes primarily in areas where the communities have existing vacancies. The rental homes produce income on both the home and for the site which might otherwise be non-income producing. The Company sells the older rental homes when the opportunity arises. The Company has approximately 800 sites in various stages of engineering/construction. Due to the difficulties involved in the approval and construction process, it is difficult to predict the number of sites which will be completed in a given year. Significant Properties The Company operates approximately $75,000,000 (at original cost) in manufactured home properties. These consist of 25 separate manufactured home communities and related equipment and improvements. There are 5,979 sites in the 25 communities. No one community constitutes more than 10% of the total assets of the Company. Port Royal Village with 427 sites, Sandy Valley Estates with 364 sites, Cedarcrest with 283 sites, Fairview Manor with 276 sites, Highland Estates with 269 sites, Allentown with 414 sites and Heather Highlands with 457 sites are the larger properties. Heather Highlands historically has an average of 65% to 70% occupancy. The property continues to produce positive cash flow. Mortgages on Properties The Company has mortgages on various properties. The maturity dates of these mortgages range from the year 2003 to 2012. Interest varies from fixed rates of 4.625% to 7.86%. The aggregate balances of these mortgages total $43,321,884 at December 31, 2002. (For additional information, see Part IV, Item 14(a)(1)(vi), Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes and Mortgages Payable). -10- ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Legal proceedings are incorporated herein by reference and filed as Part IV, Item 14(a)(1)(vi), Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Legal Matters. ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of 2002 to a vote of security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. -11- PART II ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company's shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange (symbol UMH). The per share range of high and low quotes for the Company's stock for each quarterly period is as follows:
2002 2001 2000 HIGH LOW HIGH LOW HIGH LOW First Quarter 12.50 11.77 12.75 9.63 8-7/8 7 Second Quarter 13.85 12.15 12.35 10.65 8-1/2 7-3/8 Third Quarter 13.50 12.25 11.95 10.50 9-1/2 8-1/8 Fourth Quarter 13.54 12.22 12.50 10.25 9-3/4 8-3/8
On March 14, 2003, the closing price of the Company's stock was $14.01. As of December 31, 2002, there were approximately 1,000 shareholders of the Company's common stock based on the number of record owners. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, total dividends paid by the Company amounted to $6,568,295 or $.8650 per share ($.6738 taxed as ordinary income and $.1912 taxed as a long-term capital gain), $5,980,540 or $.8025 per share (all taxed as ordinary income) and , $5,555,941 or $.7575 per share ($.7102 taxed as ordinary income, $.0384 taxed as a long-term capital gain and $.0089 was a return of capital), respectively. Future dividend policy will depend on the Company's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, availability and cost of bank financing and other factors considered relevant by the Board of Directors. The Company elected REIT status beginning in 1992. As a REIT, the Company must pay out at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of a cash distribution to shareholders. -12- ITEM 6 - SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

*Funds from Operations (FFO) is defined as net income excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable assets, plus depreciation. FFO should be considered as a supplemental measure of operating performance used by real estate investment trust (REITs). FFO excludes historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost bases. The items excluded from FFO are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company's financial performance. FFO (1) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (2) 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 (3) is not an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other REITs. -13- ITEM 6 - SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The Company's FFO is calculated as follows:

(1) Includes gain on sale of land of $661,000 in 2002. ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenue and Expense 2002 vs. 2001 Rental and related income increased from $19,291,611 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $20,140,691 for the year ended December 31, 2002 primarily due to the acquisition of a new community in 2001 and rental increases to residents. During 2002, the Company was able to obtain an average rent increase of approximately 3%. Overall occupancy rates are satisfactory with eight manufactured home communities experiencing vacancies over ten percent. Some of these vacancies are the result of expansions. The Company is also evaluating further expansion at selected communities in order to increase the number of available sites. Some of these communities are in various stages of expansion. Effective April 1, 2001, the Company, through its wholly- owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F), began to conduct manufactured home sales in its communities. This company was established to enhance the occupancy of the communities. Sales of manufactured homes, other income, cost of sales of manufactured homes and selling expenses are directly related to this operation. Interest and dividend income increased from $2,188,430 in 2001 to $2,867,142 in 2002 due to purchases of securities available for sale during 2001 and 2002. Gains on sales of securities available for sale increased from $257,142 in 2000 to $530,324 in 2001 to $794,950 in 2002. Community operating expenses increased from $9,004,164 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $9,457,214 for the year ended December 31, 2002 primarily as a result of the acquisition of a new community in 2001 and increased insurance expense and personnel costs. Management anticipates that the increase in insurance costs will continue into 2003. -14- ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, (CONT'D.) General and administrative expenses increased from $2,015,685 in 2001 to $2,184,045 in 2002 primarily as a result of an increase in personnel costs. Interest expense increased from $2,825,894 in 2001 to $3,314,335 in 2002. This was primarily as a result of a higher average principal balance outstanding. Interest capitalized on construction in progress amounted to $162,600 and $146,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Depreciation expense increased from $2,684,556 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $2,810,440 for the year ended December 31, 2002 primarily as a result of the acquisition of a new community in 2001 and the completion of certain projects. Amortization of financing costs increased from $87,748 in 2001 to $112,200 in 2002 due to recent refinancing. Gain (loss) on sales of investment property and equipment increased from a loss of $28,264 in 2001 to a gain of $664,546 in 2002 primarily due to the sale of vacant land at a gain of $661,000. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company reported net income of $6,512,212 as compared to net income of $5,550,488 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company is currently experiencing modest inflation. Modest inflation is believed to have a favorable impact on the Company's financial performance. With modest inflation, the Company believes that it can increase rents sufficiently to match increases in operating expenses. High rates of inflation (more than 10%) could result in an inability to raise rents to meet rising costs and could create political problems such as the imposition of rent controls. The Company anticipates continuing profits in 2003. 2001 vs. 2000 Rental and related income increased from $18,640,335 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $19,291,611 for the year ended December 31, 2001 primarily due to the acquisition of a new community and rental increases to residents. During 2001, the Company was able to obtain an average rent increase of approximately 3.5%. Overall occupancy rates are satisfactory with ten manufactured home communities experiencing vacancies over ten percent. Some of these vacancies are the result of expansions. The Company is also evaluating further expansion at selected communities in order to increase the number of available sites. Some of these communities are in various stages of expansion. Effective April 1, 2001, the Company, through its wholly- owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc. (S&F), began to conduct manufactured home sales in its communities. This company was established to enhance the occupancy of the communities. Sales of manufactured homes, other income, cost of sales of manufactured homes and selling expenses are directly related to this operation. Interest and dividend income increased from $1,747,254 in 2000 to $2,188,430 in 2001 due to purchases of securities available for sale during 2000 and 2001. -15- ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, (CONT'D.) Gains on sales of securities available for sale increased from $257,142 in 2000 to $530,324 in 2001. Community operating expenses increased from $8,233,356 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $9,004,164 for the year ended December 31, 2001 primarily as a result of the acquisition of a new community and increased insurance expense and personnel costs. General and administrative expenses increased from $1,852,309 in 2000 to $2,015,685 in 2001 primarily as a result of an increase in personnel and occupancy costs. Interest expense increased from $2,624,801 in 2000 to $2,825,894 in 2001. This was primarily as a result of a higher average principal balance outstanding. Interest capitalized on construction in progress amounted to $146,000 and $180,600 for 2001 and 2000, respectively. Depreciation expense increased from $2,618,839 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $2,684,556 for the year ended December 31, 2001 primarily as a result of the acquisition of a new community and the completion of certain projects. Amortization of financing costs remained relatively stable in 2001 and 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company reported net income of $5,550,488 as compared to net income of $5,189,371 for the year ended December 31, 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company uses funds for real estate acquisitions, real property improvements, amortization of debt incurred in connection with such acquisitions and improvements, purchase of inventory of manufactured homes and investment in debt and equity securities of other REITs. The Company generates funds through cash flow from properties, sales of manufactured homes and its securities portfolio, mortgages on properties and increases in shareholder investments. The Company has liquidity available from a combination of short and long-term sources. The Company currently has mortgages payable totaling $43,321,884 secured by thirteen communities and loans payable totaling $12,358,965 primarily secured by investment securities and inventory of manufactured homes. The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit with Fleet Bank, all of which was utilized at December 31, 2002. The Company believes that its 25 communities have market values in excess of historical cost. Management believes that this provides significant additional borrowing capacity. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $7,171,086 in 2000 to $4,277,851 in 2001, and increased to $6,747,943 in 2002. The decrease in 2001 was primarily due to the initial purchase of inventory for the sales operation. Cash flow was primarily used for capital improvements, payment of dividends, purchases of securities available for sale, purchase of inventory of manufactured homes, purchase of a manufactured home community in 2001 and expansion of existing communities. The Company meets maturing mortgage obligations by using a combination of cash flow and refinancing. The dividend payments were primarily made from cash flow from operations. -16- ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, (CONT'D.) In addition to normal operating expenses, the Company requires cash for additional investments in manufactured home communities, capital improvements, purchase of manufactured homes for rent, scheduled mortgage amortization and dividend distributions. The Company also invests in debt and equity securities of other REITs. During 2002, the Company purchased approximately $9,400,000 in these securities. The securities portfolio at December 31, 2002 has experienced an approximate 14% increase in value from cost. The Company estimates that in 2003 it will purchase approximately 25 manufactured homes to be used as rentals for a total cost of $500,000. Management believes that these manufactured homes will each generate approximately $300 per month in rental income in addition to lot rent. Once rental homes reach 10 years old, the Company generally sells them. Capital improvements include amounts needed to meet environmental and regulatory requirements in connection with the manufactured home communities that provide water or sewer service. Excluding expansions, the Company is budgeting approximately $1,000,000 in capital improvements for 2003. The Company's only significant commitment and contractual obligation relates to the lease on its corporate offices as described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (Plan). Dividends reinvested are a significant additional source of liquidity and capital resources. During 2002, the Company paid $4,913,346 in dividends, which is net of $1,654,949 of dividends reinvested under the Plan. The success of the Plan resulted in a substantial improvement in the Company's liquidity and capital resources in 2002. The Company has undeveloped land which it could develop over the next several years. The Company is also exploring the utilization of vacant land for town houses. The Company continues to analyze the highest and best use of its vacant land, and uses it accordingly. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with the financing and refinancing of its properties, will be adequate to meet its needs over the next several years. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The Company's most critical accounting policies relate to the evaluation of impairment of real estate and investment securities. The Company evaluates the need for an impairment loss on its real estate assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. In addition, estimates are used when accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, potentially excess and obsolete inventory and contingent liabilities, among others. These estimates are susceptible to change and actual results could differ from these estimates. The effects of changes in these estimates are recognized in the period they are determined. -17- ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, (CONT'D.) The Company evaluates other than temporary impairment on individual securities in its investment portfolio when a security has experienced a sustained decline in fair value below amortized cost. Management considers several factors, including the length of time such security has experienced a decline, the relationship to peer group stock performance and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. These evaluations are subjective in nature. Other than temporary declines in value result in a charge to net income reducing the carrying value of the security. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statement. The additional disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the expanded disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2002. Controls and Procedures Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of the Company's management, including the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13A-14. Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. Safe Harbor Statement This Form 10-K contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. The words "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "should", "estimate", and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and finance performance, but are based upon current assumptions regarding the Company's operations, future results and prospects, and are subject to many uncertainties and factors relating to the Company's operations and business environment which may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. -18- ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, (CONT'D.) Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) changes in the general economic climate; (ii) increased competition in the geographic areas in which the Company owns and operates manufactured housing communities; (iii) changes in government laws and regulations affecting manufactured housing communities; and (iv) the ability of the Company to continue to identify, negotiate and acquire manufactured housing communities and/or vacant land which may be developed into manufactured housing communities on terms favorable to the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. ITEM 7A - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company's real estate investment portfolio and operations. The Company's interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, the Company borrows primarily at fixed rates. The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2002, concerning the Company's debt obligations, including principal cash flow by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value.
Long-term Fixed Average rate Carrying Value Interest Rate Fair Value ______________ _____________ __________ 2003 $ 3,188,122 7.50% 2004 9,618,647 7.54% 2005 11,090,532 7.50% 2006 1,695,862 6.38% 2007 3,960,632 6.39% Thereafter 13,768,089 6.40% ____________ Total $43,321,884 $43,543,545 =========== ===========
The Company also has approximately $12.4 million in variable rate debt due on demand. This debt primarily consists of a $9.2 million margin loan secured by marketable securities, a $2 million unsecured line of credit, and a $900 thousand inventory financing loan. The interest rates on these loans range from 3% to 7% at December 31, 2002. The carrying value of the Company's variable rate debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2002. The Company also invests in both debt and equity securities of other REITs and is primarily exposed to equity price risk from adverse changes in market rates and conditions. All securities are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. The Company has no significant interest rate risk relating to debt securities as they are short-term in nature. -19- ITEM 8 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The financial statements and supplementary data listed in Part IV, Item 14(a)(1) are incorporated herein by reference.

Overview and Philosophy The Company has a Compensation Committee consisting of two independent outside Directors. This Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning executive compensation. The Compensation Committee takes into consideration three major factors in setting compensation. The first consideration is the overall performance of the Company. The Board believes that the financial interests of the executive officers should be aligned with the success of the Company and the financial interests of its shareholders. Increases in funds from operations, the enhancement of the Company's equity portfolio, and the success of the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan all contribute to increases in stock prices thereby maximizing shareholders' return. The second consideration is the individual achievements made by each officer. The Company is a small real estate investment trust (REIT). The Board of Directors is aware of the contributions made by each officer and makes an evaluation of individual performance based on their own familiarity with the officer. -25- ITEM 11 - EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION, (CONT'D.) The final criteria in setting compensation is comparable wages in the industry. In this regard, the REIT industry maintains excellent statistics. Evaluation Mr. Eugene Landy is under an employment agreement with the Company. His base compensation under this contract is $150,000 per year. (The Summary Compensation Table for Mr. Eugene Landy shows a salary of $150,000 and $17,276 in director's fees, fringe benefits and legal fees).

See Accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -36- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST United Mobile Homes, Inc. (the Company) has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) under Sections 856-858 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company will not be taxed on the portion of its income which is distributed to shareholders, provided it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income, has at least 75% of its assets in real estate investments and meets certain other requirements for qualification as a REIT. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS - The Company owns and operates twenty-five manufactured home communities containing 5,979 sites. The communities are located in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. These manufactured home communities are listed by trade names as follows:
MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITY LOCATION _________________ ___________ Allentown Memphis, Tennessee Brookview Village Greenfield Center, New York Cedarcrest Vineland, New Jersey Cranberry Village Cranberry Township,Pennsylvania Cross Keys Village Duncansville, Pennsylvania D& R Village Clifton Park, New York Fairview Manor Millville, New Jersey Forest Park Village Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania Heather Highlands Inkerman, Pennsylvania Highland Estates Kutztown, Pennsylvania Kinnebrook Monticello, New York Lake Sherman Village Navarre, Ohio Laurel Woods Cresson, Pennsylvania Memphis Mobile City Memphis, Tennessee Oxford Village West Grove, Pennsylvania Pine Ridge Village Carlisle, Pennsylvania Pine Valley Estates Apollo, Pennsylvania Port Royal Village Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania River Valley Estates Marion, Ohio Sandy Valley Estates Magnolia, Ohio Southwind Village Jackson, New Jersey Spreading Oaks Village Athens, Ohio Waterfalls Village Hamburg, New York Woodlawn Village Eatontown, New Jersey Wood Valley Caledonia, Ohio
-37- NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONT'D.) Effective April 1, 2001, the Company, through its wholly- owned taxable subsidiary, UMH Sales and Finance, Inc., (S&F), began to conduct manufactured home sales in its communities. Inherent in the operation of manufactured home communities is site vacancies. S&F was established to fill these vacancies and enhance the value of the communities. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The Company's subsidiaries are all 100% wholly-owned. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of these subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have a majority or minority interest in any other Company, either consolidated or unconsolidated. USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing the consolidated financial statements, 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. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION - Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation for Sites and Building (15 to 27.5 years) is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation of Improvements to Sites and Buildings, Rental Homes and Equipment and Vehicles (3 to 27.5 years) is computed principally on the straight-line method. Land Development Costs are not depreciated until they are put in use, at which time they are capitalized as Sites or Site Improvements. Interest Expense pertaining to Land Development Costs are capitalized. Maintenance and Repairs are charged to income as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of property sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the current year's results of operations. If there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates that the basis of an investment property may not be recoverable, management assesses the possible impairment of value through evaluation of the estimated future cash flows of the property, on an undiscounted basis, as compared to the property's current carrying value. If a property is determined to be impaired, it will be recorded at fair value. UNAMORTIZED FINANCING COSTS - Legal fees and loan processing fees for mortgages are being amortized over the life of the related debt. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include certificates of deposit and bank repurchase agreements with maturities of 90 days or less. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE - The Company's securities consist primarily of debt securities and common and preferred stock of other REITs. These securities are all publicly-traded and purchased on the open market or through dividend reinvestment plans. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are based on identifiable cost and are accounted for on a trade date basis. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of Shareholders' Equity until realized. A decline in the market value of any security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. Any impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security established. -38- NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONT'D.) INVENTORY OF MANUFACTURED HOMES - Inventory of manufactured homes is valued at the lower of cost or market value and is determined by the specific identification method. All inventory is considered finished goods. REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company derives its income primarily from the rental of manufactured home sites. The Company also owns approximately 490 rental units which are rented to residents. Rental and related income is recognized on the accrual basis. Sale of manufactured homes is recognized on the full accrual basis when certain criteria are met. These criteria include the following: (a) initial and continuing payment by the buyer must be adequate: (b) the receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination; (c) the benefits and risks of ownership are substantially transferred to the buyer; and (d) the Company does not have a substantial continued involvement with the home after the sale. Alternatively, when the foregoing criteria are not met, the Company recognizes gains by the installment method. Interest income on loans receivable is not accrued when, in the opinion of management, the collection of such interest appears doubtful. NET INCOME PER SHARE - Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period (7,600,266, 7,457,636 and 7,339,684 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively). Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted-average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method (7,677,200, 7,496,371 and 7,341,078 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively) (See Note 6). Options in the amount of 76,934, 38,735, and 1,394 for 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, are included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. STOCK OPTION PLANS - Stock option plans are accounted for under the intrinsic value based method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".

This amount does not include the dividend resulting from the discount on shares purchased through the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. NOTE 12 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT. As the Company has distributed all of its income currently, no provision has been made for Federal income or excise taxes for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. NOTE 13 - LEGAL MATTERS There are no lawsuits pending against the Company that management believes will have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. In the normal course of business, the Company is a Defendant in various legal cases, all of which are being defended by the Company's insurance carrier. -47- NOTE 14 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is required to disclose certain information about fair values of financial instruments, as defined in SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments". Limitations 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 securities available for sale 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. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and notes receivables approximates their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature. The fair value of securities available for sale is based upon quoted market values. For 2002, the fair and carrying value of mortgages payable amounted to $43,543,545 and $43,321,884. For 2001, the fair and carrying values of mortgages payable amounted to $38,719,558 and $38,652,025, respectively. The fair value of mortgages payable is based upon discounted cash flows at current market rates for instruments with similar remaining terms. NOTE 15 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME INFORMATION Cash paid during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 for interest was $3,476,935, $2,971,894 and $2,805,401, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company had dividend reinvestments of $1,654,949, $1,686,031 and $1,866,103, respectively which required no cash transfers. -48- NOTE 15 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME INFORMATION, (CONT'D.)

NOTE 16 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statement.
