UP TO 47,000 SHARES OF

SERIES C CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

Manufactured Housing Properties Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our” or “our company”) is offering up to 47,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Series C Preferred Stock, at an offering price of $1,000 per share, for a maximum offering amount of $47,000,000.

The Series C Preferred Stock being offered will rank, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as our Series A Preferred Stock, and our Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which we refer to as our Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will have an initial stated value equal to $1,000, subject to appropriate adjustment for certain events. Holders of our Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative monthly cash dividends at a per annum rate of 7% of the stated value (or $5.83 per share each month based on the initial stated value). Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of our Common Stock and on a pari passu basis with holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, a liquidation preference equal to the stated value per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be redeemable by us or by the holders under certain circumstances described elsewhere in this offering circular. The Series C Preferred Stock will have no voting rights (except for certain matters) and are not convertible into shares of our Common Stock. See “Description of Securities” beginning on page 42 for additional details.

There is no existing public trading market for the Series C Preferred Stock, and we do not anticipate that a secondary market for the stock will develop. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Series C Preferred Stock on any securities exchange or for quotation in any automated dealer quotation system or other over-the-counter market. Our Common Stock trades on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “MHPC.”

Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 10 before deciding to invest in our securities.

The dealer manager of this offering is Arete Wealth Management, LLC. The dealer manager is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares but will use its “reasonable best efforts” to sell the shares offered. The minimum permitted purchase is generally $10,000 but purchases of less than $10,000 may be made in the discretion of the dealer manager.

This offering is being conducted pursuant to Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for Tier 2 offerings. This offering will terminate at the earlier of: (1) the date at which the maximum amount of offered Series C Preferred Stock has been sold, (2) the date which is one year after the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part is qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, subject to an extension of up to an additional one year at the discretion of our company and the dealer manager, or (3) the date on which this offering is earlier terminated by us in our sole discretion.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

The coronavirus pandemic may cause a material adverse effect on our business.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency.

Most states and cities, including where our properties are located, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it.

The rules and restrictions put in place have had a negative impact on the economy and business activity and may adversely impact the ability of our tenants, many of whom may be restricted in their ability to work, to pay their rent as and when due.  In addition, our property managers may be limited in their ability to properly maintain our properties.  Enforcing our rights as landlord against tenants who fail to pay rent or otherwise do not comply with the terms of their leases may not be possible as many jurisdictions, including those where are properties are located, have established rules and/or regulations preventing us from evicting tenants for certain periods in response to the pandemic. If we are unable to enforce our rights as landlords, our business would be materially affected. 

If the current pace of the pandemic does not continue to slow and the spread of the virus is not contained, our business operations could be further delayed or interrupted. We expect that government and health authorities may announce new or extend existing restrictions, which could require us to make further adjustments to our operations in order to comply with any such restrictions. The duration of any business disruption cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect our ability to operate our business and result in additional costs.

The extent to which the pandemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this offering circular, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may not be able to obtain adequate cash to fund our business.

Our business requires access to adequate cash to finance our operations, distributions, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, development and redevelopment costs and property acquisition costs, if any. We expect to generate the cash to be used for these purposes primarily with operating cash flow, borrowings under secured and unsecured loans, proceeds from sales of strategically identified assets and, when market conditions permit, through the issuance of debt and equity securities from time to time. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to fund our business, particularly if we are unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire according to our expectations.

General economic conditions and the concentration of our properties in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee may affect our ability to generate sufficient revenue.

The market and economic conditions in our current markets may significantly affect manufactured housing occupancy or rental rates. Occupancy and rental rates, in turn, may significantly affect our revenues, and if our communities do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, current cash flow and ability to pay or refinance our debt obligations could be adversely affected. As a result of the current geographic concentration of our properties in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, we are exposed to the risks of downturns in the local economy or other local real estate market conditions that could adversely affect occupancy rates, rental rates, and property values in these markets.

Other factors that may affect general economic conditions or local real estate conditions include:

Our income would also be adversely affected if tenants were unable to pay rent or if sites were unable to be rented on favorable terms. If we were unable to promptly renew the leases for a significant number of sites, or if the rental rates upon such renewal were significantly lower than expected rates, then our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, certain expenditures associated with each property (such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs) generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property.

We face risks generally associated with our debt.

We finance a portion of our investments in properties through debt. As of March 31, 2021, our total indebtedness for borrowed money was $35,920,447. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. In addition, debt creates other risks, including:

We face risks related to “balloon payments” and re-financings.

Certain of our mortgages will have significant outstanding principal balances on their maturity dates, commonly known as “balloon payments.” As of March 31, 2021, our total future minimum principal payments were $37,179,204. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance the debt on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we cannot refinance debt on favorable terms or at all, we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms or pay higher interest rates, either of which would have an adverse impact on our financial performance and ability to service debt and make distributions.

We may become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and an increase in debt service requirements that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.

We have incurred, and may continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our activities. We could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.

Covenants in our credit agreements could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition.

The terms of our various credit agreements and other indebtedness require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage. These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations. If we were to default under our credit agreements, our financial condition would be adversely affected.

A change in the United States government policy regarding to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) could impact our financial condition.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are a major source of financing for the manufactured housing real estate sector. We could depend on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to finance growth by purchasing or guarantying manufactured housing community loans. In February 2011, the Obama Administration released a report to Congress that included options, among others, to gradually shrink and eventually shut down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We do not know when or if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will restrict their support of lending to our real estate sector or to us in particular. A final decision by the government to eliminate Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or reduce their acquisitions or guarantees of our mortgage loans, may adversely affect interest rates, capital availability and our ability to refinance our existing mortgage obligations as they come due and obtain additional long-term financing for the acquisition of additional communities on favorable terms or at all.

We face risks relating to the property management services that we provide.

There are inherent risks in our providing property management services to the manufactured housing communities on the properties that we own. The more significant of these risks include:

We may not be able to integrate or finance our acquisitions and our acquisitions may not perform as expected.

We acquire and intend to continue to acquire manufactured housing communities on a select basis. Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:

If any of the above were to occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a liability were to be asserted against us based on ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected and the intended benefits may not be realized, which could have a negative impact on our operations.

We intend to continue to acquire manufactured housing communities. However, newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected and could pose risks for our ongoing operations including the following:

As a result of the foregoing, we may not accurately estimate or identify all costs necessary to bring an acquired manufactured housing communities up to standards established for our intended market position. As such, we cannot provide assurance that any acquisition that we make will be accretive to us in the near term or at all. Furthermore, if we fail to realize the intended benefits of an acquisition, it may have a negative impact on our operations.

Development and expansion properties may fail to perform as expected and the intended benefits may not be realized, which could have a negative impact on our operations.

We may periodically consider development and expansion activities, which are subject to risks such as construction costs exceeding original estimates and construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased construction costs and lower than expected revenues. Additionally, there can be no assurance that these properties will operate better as a result of development or expansion activities due to various factors, including lower than anticipated occupancy and rental rates causing a property to be unprofitable or less profitable than originally estimated.

We regularly expend capital to maintain, repair and renovate our properties, which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

We may, or we may be required to, from time to time make significant capital expenditures to maintain or enhance the competitiveness of our manufactured housing communities. There can be no assurances that any such expenditures would result in higher occupancy or higher rental rates.

We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid.

Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly and, therefore, will tend to limit our ability to vary our property portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service our debt and make distributions to our stockholders.

We may be unable to compete with our larger competitors, which may in turn adversely affect our profitability.

The real estate business is highly competitive. We compete for manufactured housing community investments with numerous other real estate entities, such as individuals, corporations, REITs, and other enterprises engaged in real estate activities. In many cases, the competing concerns may be larger and better financed than we are, making it difficult for us to secure new manufactured housing community investments. Competition among private and institutional purchasers of manufactured housing community investments has led to increases in the purchase prices paid for manufactured housing communities and consequent higher fixed costs. To the extent we are unable to effectively compete in the marketplace, our business may be adversely affected.

Actions by our competitors may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our properties which could adversely affect our business.

We compete with other owners and operators of manufactured housing community properties, some of whom own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. The number of competitive manufactured housing community properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease sites and increase rents charged at our properties or at any newly acquired properties. In addition, other forms of multi-family residential properties, such as private and federally funded or assisted multi-family housing projects and single-family housing, provide housing alternatives to potential tenants of manufactured housing communities. If our competitors offer housing at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants, and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our tenants’ leases expire. As a result, our financial condition, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

Losses in excess of our insurance coverage or uninsured losses could adversely affect our cash flow.

We generally maintain insurance policies related to our business, including casualty, general liability and other policies covering business operations, employees and assets. However, we may be required to bear all losses that are not adequately covered by insurance. In addition, there are certain losses that are not generally insured because it is not economically feasible to insure against them, including losses due to riots or acts of war. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated profits and cash flow from the properties and, in the case of debt that carries recourse to us, we would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the properties. Although we believe that our insurance programs are adequate, no assurance can be given that we will not incur losses in excess of its insurance coverage, or that we will be able to obtain insurance in the future at acceptable levels and reasonable cost.

Costs associated with taxes and regulatory compliance may reduce our revenue.

We are subject to significant regulation that inhibits our activities and may increase our costs. Local zoning and use laws, environmental statutes and other governmental requirements may restrict expansion, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. These regulations may prevent us from taking advantage of economic opportunities. Legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act may require us to modify our properties at a substantial cost and noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Future legislation may impose additional requirements. We cannot predict what requirements may be enacted or amended or what costs we will incur to comply with such requirements. Costs resulting from changes in real estate laws, income taxes, service or other taxes may adversely affect our funds from operations and our ability to pay or refinance our debt. Similarly, changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Rent control legislation may harm our ability to increase rents.

State and local rent control laws in certain jurisdictions may limit our ability to increase rents and to recover increases in operating expenses and the costs of capital improvements. We may purchase additional properties in markets that are either subject to rent control or in which rent-limiting legislation exists or may be enacted.

Environmental liabilities could affect our profitability.

Under various federal, state and local laws, as well as local ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances at, on, under or in such property, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous substances. A conveyance of the property, therefore, does not relieve the owner or operator from liability. As a current or former owner and operator of real estate, we may be required by law to investigate and clean up hazardous substances released at or from the properties we currently own or operate or have in the past owned or operated. We may also be liable to the government or to third parties for property damage, investigation costs and cleanup costs. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government incurs in connection with the contamination. Contamination may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility owned or operated by another person. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for the management and disposal of asbestos-containing materials and for the release of such materials into the air. These laws may provide for third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials. In connection with the ownership, operation, management, and development of real properties, we may be considered an owner or operator of such properties and, therefore, are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, and also may be liable for governmental fines and injuries to persons and property. When we arrange for the treatment or disposal of hazardous substances at landfills or other facilities owned by other persons, we may be liable for the removal or remediation costs at such facilities. We are not aware of any environmental liabilities relating to our investment properties that would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, or results of operations. However, we cannot assure you that environmental liabilities will not arise in the future and that such liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operation.

Of the twenty manufactured housing communities we currently operate, five are on well and septic systems. At these locations, we are subject to compliance with monthly, quarterly and yearly testing for contaminants as outlined by each state’s Department of Environmental Protection Agencies. Currently, we are not subject to radon or asbestos monitoring requirements.

Additionally, in connection with the management of the properties or upon acquisition or financing of a property, we authorize the preparation of Phase I or similar environmental reports (which involves general inspections without soil sampling or ground water analysis) completed by independent environmental consultants. Based on such environmental reports and our ongoing review of its properties, as of the date of this offering circular, we are not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of our properties that we believe would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. These reports, however, cannot reflect conditions arising after the studies were completed, and no assurances can be given that existing environmental studies reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of a property or neighboring owner or operator did not create any material environmental condition not known to us, or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist with respect to any one property or more than one property.

We are subject to risks arising from litigation.

We may become involved in litigation. Litigation can be costly, and the results of litigation are often difficult to predict. We may not have adequate insurance coverage or contractual protection to cover costs and liability in the event we are sued, and to the extent we resort to litigation to enforce our rights, we may incur significant costs and ultimately be unsuccessful or unable to recover amounts we believe are owed to us. We may have little or no control of the timing of litigation, which presents challenges to our strategic planning.

We are dependent on key personnel.

Our executive and other senior officers have a significant role in our success. Our ability to retain our management group or to attract suitable replacements should any members of the management group leave depends on the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services from key members of the management group or a limitation in their availability could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flow. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.

Our management is inexperienced in running a public entity.

With the exception of Michael Z. Anise, our president, chief financial officer and a director, our management does not have prior experience with the operation and management of a public entity. As a result, they will be learning as they proceed and may be forced to rely more heavily on the expertise of outside professionals than they might otherwise, which in turn could lead to higher legal and accounting costs and possible securities law compliance issues.

We have one stockholder that can single-handedly control our company.

Our largest stockholder is Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, our chairman and chief executive officer. At present, Mr. Gee beneficially owns approximately 69.86% of our total issued and outstanding Common Stock. Under Nevada law, this ownership position provides Mr. Gee with the almost unrestricted ability to control the business, management and strategic direction of our company. If Mr. Gee chooses to exercise this control, his decisions regarding our company could be detrimental to, or not in the best interests of our company and its other stockholders.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results and prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial statements, which would harm the trading price of our Common Stock.

Companies that file reports with the SEC, including us, are subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404. SOX 404 requires management to establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting and annual reports on Form 10-K filed under the Exchange Act to contain a report from management assessing the effectiveness of a company’s internal control over financial reporting. Separately, under SOX 404, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, public companies that are large accelerated filers or accelerated filers must include in their annual reports on Form 10-K an attestation report of their regular auditors attesting to and reporting on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Non-accelerated filers and smaller reporting companies, like us, are not required to include an attestation report of their auditors in annual reports.

A report of our management is included under Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We are a smaller reporting company and, consequently, are not required to include an attestation report of our auditor in our annual report. However, if and when we become subject to the auditor attestation requirements under SOX 404, we can provide no assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors.

During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, management identified material weaknesses. These material weaknesses were associated with (i) our lack of proper segregation of duties due to the limited number of employees within the accounting department and (ii) our lack of effective closing procedures. We are undertaking remedial measures, which measures will take time to implement and test, to address these material weaknesses. There can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to remedy the material weaknesses identified or that additional material weaknesses or other control or significant deficiencies will not be identified in the future. If we continue to experience material weaknesses in our internal controls or fail to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, such circumstances could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements, or adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and, if required, annual auditor attestation reports. Each of the foregoing results could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and lead to a decline in our stock price.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Series C Preferred Stock

There is no present market for the Series C Preferred Stock, and we have arbitrarily set the price.

We have arbitrarily set the price of the Series C Preferred Stock with reference to the general status of the securities market and other relevant factors. The offering price for the Series C Preferred Stock should not be considered an indication of the actual value of such securities and is not based on our net worth or prior earnings. Although our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market, our Series C Preferred Stock will not be eligible for quotation on the over-the-counter market. Accordingly, it will be very difficult for you to liquidate your shares of Series C Preferred Stock and we cannot assure you that such securities could be resold by you at the price you paid for them or at any other price.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends.

Our ability to pay dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock is dependent on our ability to operate profitably and to generate cash from our operations and the operations of our subsidiaries. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay dividends as required by the terms of our Series C Preferred Stock.

We may issue additional debt and equity securities, which are senior to our Series C Preferred Stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the value of the Series C Preferred Stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into additional debt or debt-like financing that is secured by all or up to all of our assets, or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes or shares. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt securities would receive a distribution of our available assets before distributions to our stockholders. Any preferred securities, if issued by our company, may have a preference with respect to distributions and upon liquidation that is senior to the preference of the Series C Preferred Stock, which could further limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in our future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings and debt financing.

Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future. Thus, you will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the value of your Series C Preferred Stock. In addition, we can change our leverage strategy from time to time without approval of holders of our Preferred Stock or Common Stock, which could materially adversely affect the value of our Preferred Stock, including the Series C Preferred Stock.

You will not have a vote or influence on the management of our company.

All decisions with respect to the management of our company will be made exclusively by the officers, directors, managers or employees of our company. You, as an investor in our Series C Preferred Stock, have very limited voting rights and will have no ability to vote on issues of company management and will not have the right or power to take part in the management of our company and will not be represented on the board of directors of our company. Accordingly, no person should purchase our Series C Preferred Stock unless he or she is willing to entrust all aspects of management to our company.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $42,203,000 if the maximum number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock being offered are sold after deducting the estimated sales commissions, dealer manager fees and offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for the acquisition and development of manufactured housing communities and/or recreational vehicle communities and for other general and working capital purposes, which may include the funding of capital improvements at properties.

The following table below sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the sale of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the securities offered for sale in this offering by us. For further discussion, see the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

As of the date of this offering circular and except as explicitly set forth herein, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the net proceeds from this offering. Pending use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we may invest the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing investment grade instruments.

The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.

The above description of the anticipated use of proceeds is not binding on us and is merely description of our current intentions. We reserve the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interests of our company.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

There is no trading market for our Series C Preferred Stock, and we do not expect any trading market to develop for the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock will be sold at $1,000 per share and it is expected that we will either redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 110% of such original issue price, plus accrued dividends thereon, or that holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will exercise their right to request that we redeem or repurchase the Series C Preferred Stock at a redemption or repurchase price equal to 100% of such original issue price (or 110% after five years), plus accrued dividends thereon, and less certain redemption fees payable if shares are redeemed in the first three years. Accordingly, the $1,000 price per share of Series C Preferred Stock is arbitrary and represents the amount of investment made by an investor for purposes of determining the redemption and repurchase price.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock being offered will be cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative monthly cash dividends at a per annum rate of 7% of the stated value (or $5.83 per share each month based on the initial stated value). Dividends on each share will begin accruing on, and will be cumulative from, the date of issuance and regardless of whether our board of directors declares and pays such dividends. If our articles of incorporation, provisions of Nevada law or our borrowing agreements prohibit us from paying dividends, unpaid dividends will cumulate.

Our anticipated source of funds to pay the cumulative dividends for our Series C Preferred Stock will be from net operating income, retained earnings and the proceeds of the refinancing our other indebtedness.  We believe that our net operating income will increase as we deploy the funds raised in this offering in a manner consistent with the use of proceeds described in this offering circular.  We expect that our retained earnings will increase as we increase net operating income and we expect to refinance other indebtedness on our properties based upon our increased net operating income and then use the proceeds of such refinancings along with our retained earnings to repay investors.

See also “Risk Factors—Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Series C Preferred Stock—We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends.”

Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.017 per share each month, which is equivalent to the rate of 8% of the $2.50 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.

Dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.067 per share each month, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 8% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.083 per month, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 10% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.

We have never declared dividends or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. Our board of directors will make any future decisions regarding dividends. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our plans and financial condition. The following selected financial information is derived from our historical financial statements should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere herein and the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” explanation included herein.

Overview

We are a self-administered, self-managed, vertically integrated owner and operator of manufactured housing communities. We earn income from leasing manufactured home sites to tenants who own their own manufactured home and the rental of company-owned manufactured homes to residents of the communities.

We own and operate twenty manufactured housing communities containing approximately 1,353 developed sites and a total of 454 company-owned manufactured homes. The communities are located in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. See “Our Properties” for s description of these housing communities.

We believe that manufactured housing is accepted by the public as a viable and economically attractive alternative to common stick-built single-family housing. We believe that the affordability of the modern manufactured home makes it a very attractive housing alternative. Manufactured housing is one of the only non-subsidized affordable housing options in the U.S. Demand for housing affordability continues to increase, but supply remains static, as there are virtually no new manufactured housing communities being developed. We are committed to becoming an industry leader in providing this affordable housing option and an improved level of service to our residents, while producing an attractive and stable risk adjusted return to our investors.

Recent Developments

Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency.

Most states and cities, including where our properties are located, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it.

The rules and restrictions put in place have had a negative impact on the economy and business activity and may adversely impact the ability of our tenants, many of whom may be restricted in their ability to work, to pay their rent as and when due.  In addition, our property managers may be limited in their ability to properly maintain our properties.  Enforcing our rights as landlord against tenants who fail to pay rent or otherwise do not comply with the terms of their leases may not be possible as many jurisdictions, including those where are properties are located, have established rules and/or regulations preventing us from evicting tenants for certain periods in response to the pandemic. If we are unable to enforce our rights as landlords, our business would be materially affected. 

If the current pace of the pandemic does not continue to slow and the spread of the virus is not contained, our business operations could be further delayed or interrupted. We expect that government and health authorities may announce new or extend existing restrictions, which could require us to make further adjustments to our operations in order to comply with any such restrictions. The duration of any business disruption cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect our ability to operate our business and result in additional costs.

The extent to which the pandemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this report, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See also “Risk Factors” above.

Purchase of Golden Isles Mobile Home Community

On June 8, 2020, MHP Pursuits, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with William Howard O’Quinn and Mary W. O’Quinn for the asset purchase of a manufactured housing community known as Trans Villa Mobile Home Park located in Brunswick, Georgia, consisting of 118 sites on approximately 17 acres for a total purchase price of $2,325,000. 

We formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Isles MHP LLC on March 16, 2021. On March 24, 2021, MHP Pursuits, LLC assigned the purchase and sale agreement to Golden Isle MHP, LLC in anticipation of the purchase of the land and to Gvest Finance LLC, our variable interest entity, in anticipation of the purchase of the homes. On March 31, 2021, closing was completed. Golden Isles MHP LLC purchased the land and land improvements for $1,537,500 and Gvest Finance LLC purchased the buildings for $787,500. 

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, both in dollars and as a percentage of our revenues.

Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had total revenues of $1,705,863, as compared to $1,363,090 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $342,773, or 25.15%. The increase in revenues between the periods was primarily due to a complete quarter of rental income, $206,745, from Evergreen and Countryside manufactured housing communities that were purchased in March of 2020 and property sales in 2021 of $42,182. The remaining increase was due to occupancy and rental rate increases.

Community Operating Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had total community operating expenses of $579,974, as compared to $439,048 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $140,926, or 32.1%. This increase was largely driven by an increase in real estate taxes, specifically mobile home property taxes for tax year 2020 that were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and a complete quarter of property tax accrual for the two communities we acquired in Q1 2020.

Corporate Payroll and Overhead Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had corporate payroll and overhead expenses of $580,734, as compared to $439,856 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $140,878, or 32.03%. Such increase was primarily due to additional corporate personnel to support our growth and higher accounting fees related to offerings.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had depreciation and amortization expense of $441,623, as compared to $399,337 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $42,286 or 10.6%. The increase was primarily due to a complete quarter of depreciation expense on two communities acquired in March 2020.

Interest Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had interest expense of $446,048, as compared to $443,464 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $2,584, or 0.6%. The decrease was primarily related the payoff and termination of our related party line of credit and the refinancing of four manufactured housing communities subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Net Loss. The factors described above resulted in a net loss of $359,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $358,616 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $575, or 0.2%.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, both in dollars and as a percentage of our revenues.

Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had total revenues of $6,380,515, as compared to $3,205,925 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $3,174,590, or 99.02%. The increase was primarily due to $558,222 of rental income from the acquisition of two manufactured housing communities during 2020 and a complete year of rental income totaling $1,744,478 related to five properties acquired during 2019. The remaining increase was due to an average 7% increase in occupancy and rental rate increases.

Community Operating Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had total community operating expenses of $1,633,480, as compared to $1,267,452 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $366,028, or 28.88%. The increase in community operating expenses was primarily due to the five properties acquired throughout 2019. Community operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 25.60% and 39.53% during 2020 and 2019, respectively. Community operating expenses as a percentage of revenues improved as we continued to scale resources as we grow and operate more efficiently.

Corporate Payroll and Overhead Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had corporate payroll and overhead expenses of $1,581,807, as compared to $1,253,383 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $328,424, or 26.20%. Such increase was primarily due to additional legal and audit fees due to our acquisitions, and additional personnel to support our growth.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had depreciation and amortization expense of $1,652,509, as compared to $805,421 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $847,088, or 105.17%. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of two manufactured housing communities during 2020 and a complete year of depreciation expense related to the five properties acquired during 2019.

Interest Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had interest expense of $1,961,843, as compared to $1,334,090 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $ 627,753, or 47.05%. The increase was primarily related to the two additional loans related to the two acquisitions of manufactured housing communities during 2020 and a complete year of interest expense related to the five properties acquired during 2019.

Refinancing Costs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we refinanced a total of $16,374,007 from our loans payable to $15,245,000 of new notes payable from five of our communities. We used the additional loans payable proceeds from the refinance to retire our related party note payable of $2,608,867 plus accrued interest. As of December 31, 2020, we recognized refinancing cost totaling $464,568.

Gain on Sale of Property. We recognized a gain on the sale of the property of $761,978 for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold the Butternut manufactured housing community for a total sale price of $2,100,000. The cost net of accumulated depreciation of the community at the time of the sale was $1,338,022. We wrote off mortgage costs of $109,529 which is included in refinancing costs on the consolidated statement of operations.

Net Loss. The factors described above resulted in a net loss of $151,714 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $2,013,040 for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $1,861,326, or 92.46%. These losses were offset by the net income attributable to non-controlling interest – variable interest entity of $451,876 and $25,707 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,299,948 including restricted cash of $371,892. In addition to cash generated through operations, we use a variety of sources to fund our cash needs, including acquisitions. We intend to continue to increase our real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. Our ability to continue acquiring communities are dependent on our ability to raise capital. There is no guarantee that any of these additional opportunities will materialize or that we will be able to take advantage of such opportunities. The growth of our real estate portfolio depends on the availability of suitable properties which meet our investment criteria and appropriate financing.

We will require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. We believe that our current available cash along with anticipated revenues will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Regulation A Offering

On November 1, 2019, we launched an offering under Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act for Tier 2 offerings, pursuant to which we offered up to 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share, for a maximum offering amount of $10,000,000. In addition, we offered bonus shares to early investors in this offering, whereby the first 400 investors received, in addition to Series B Preferred Stock, 100 shares of Common Stock, regardless of the amount invested, for a total of 40,000 shares of Common Stock.

This offering terminated on March 30, 2021. In total, we sold an aggregate of 757,351 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for total gross proceeds of $7,573,510. After deducting a placement fee and other expenses, we received net proceeds of $7,043,364.

Promissory Notes

We have issued promissory notes payable to lenders related to the acquisition of our manufactured housing communities. These promissory notes range from 3.3% to 5.9% with 5 to 30 years principal amortization. Two of the promissory notes had initial 12 month, and three promissory notes had an initial 24 month, 60 month, and 180 month period on interest only payments, respectively. The promissory notes are secured by the real estate assets and $26,890,911 for twelve loans were guaranteed by Raymond M. Gee, our chairman, chief executive officer and owner of the principal stockholder of our company.

In addition, on May 1, 2020, we received a $139,300 Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, loan from the United States Small Business Administration under provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act. The PPP loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The PPP loan contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The PPP provides that the loan may be partially or wholly forgiven if the funds are used for certain qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. We used the proceeds from the PPP loan for qualifying expenses and applied for forgiveness of the PPP loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. However, we cannot provide assurance that the loan will be forgiven. 

As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding balance on these notes was $33,762,069. The following are the terms of these notes:

Pursuant to the agreement, we are obligated to pay a fee to the lender equal to 1% of the amount of each advance which funding fee shall be deducted from the then available commitment amount. The advances are guaranteed by Raymond M. Gee, our chairman, chief executive officer and owner of the principal stockholder of our company.

On December 24, 2020, the lender agreed to advance $3,348,967 to our company. The lender agreed to increase this amount to $3,422,260 offset with payments made by the company of $5,215 during the three months ending March 31, 2021, of which $1,550,000 was due from the lender as of the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, discount direct lender fees were $131,433 and $134,051.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgment and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies are affected by our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. Mobile home sale revenues are recognized in accordance with Topic 606 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, for revenue recognition. On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-09, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the five following criteria are met: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

Under ASC 842, we must assess on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that we will collect the future lease payments. We consider the tenant’s payment history and current credit status when assessing collectability. When collectability is not deemed probable, we write-off the tenant’s receivables, including straight-line rent receivable, and limit lease income to cash received.

Our revenues primarily consist of rental revenues and fee and other income. We have the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies:

Acquisitions. We account for acquisitions as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, site and land improvements, buildings and improvements and rental homes. We allocate the purchase price of an acquired property generally determined by internal evaluation as well as third-party appraisal of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.

Variable Interest Entities. In December 2020, we sold 305 park owned homes in four communities to Gvest Finance LLC, a company owned and controlled by our parent company, Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, our chairman and chief executive officer, and to its wholly owned subsidiary Gvest Homes 1 LLC, for a total of $4,648,967. We also executed a management agreement with these entities to manage the homes while remitting to our company all income, less any sums paid out for debt service plus 5% of the debt service payment. Primarily due to our common ownership by Mr. Gee, our power to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly impact their economic performance, and the fact that our company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from these entities that could potentially be significant to these entities, Gvest Finance LLC and Gvest Homes 1 LLC are considered to be variable interest entities, or VIEs, in accordance with applicable GAAP. A company with interests in a VIE must consolidate the entity if the company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE; that is, if it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Such a determination requires management to evaluate circumstances and relationships that may be difficult to understand and to make a significant judgment, and to repeat the evaluation at each subsequent reporting date. In accordance with applicable GAAP, because of the common ownership among the entities, the consolidation of the VIEs have been accounted for retrospectively as of the beginning of the first period presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Investment Property and Depreciation. Investment property which consists of property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation for Sites and Building is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 15 to 25 years). Depreciation of Improvements to Sites and Buildings, Rental Homes and Equipment and Vehicles is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 3 to 25 years). Land Development Costs are not depreciated until they are put in use, at which time they are capitalized as Sites and Land Improvements. Interest Expense pertaining to Land Development Costs are capitalized. Maintenance and Repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of property sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the financial statement and any gain or loss is reflected in the current period’s results of operations.

Impairment Policy. We apply ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant & Equipment,” to measure impairment in real estate investments. Rental properties are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred, rental properties are reduced to their 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 there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded. There was no impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 or the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Stock Based Compensation. All stock based payments to employees, nonemployee consultants, and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including any grants of restricted stock and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation or other expense over the relevant service period in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Stock based payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance. Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are nonforfeitable the measurement date is the date the award is issued. We recorded stock option expense of $646 and $539 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2,370 and $4,774 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. We follow paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

OUR CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE

We originally incorporated in the State of Nevada as Frontier Staffing, Inc. on September 3, 2003. Since our incorporation, we have experienced several name changes and have engaged in several different business endeavors. On October 12, 2017, Mobile Home Rental Holdings LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, which engaged in acquiring and operating manufactured housing properties, merged with and into our company. In connection with the merger, the name of our company was changed to Manufactured Housing Properties Inc., the former business and management of Mobile Home Rental Holdings became the business and management, respectively, of our company at that time.

During 2020, we completed two acquisitions of manufactured housing communities and sold one community. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we acquired one manufactured housing community.

On January 7, 2020, MHP Pursuits LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with J & A Real Estate LLC for the purchase of a manufactured housing community known as Countryside Estates Mobile Home Park, which is located in Lancaster, North Carolina and totals 110 sites, for a total purchase price of $3.7 million. On March 12, 2020, the closing was completed and our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary Countryside MHP LLC purchased the property.

On January 1, 2020, MHP Pursuits LLC entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Evergreen Marketing LLC for the purchase of a manufactured housing community known as Evergreen Pointe Mobile Home Park, which is located in Dandridge, Tennessee and totals 65 sites, for a total purchase price of $1,589,000. On March 17, 2020, the closing was completed and our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary Evergreen MHP LLC purchased the property.

On December 18, 2020, we sold the Butternut manufactured housing community for a total sale price of $2,100,000. The cost net of accumulated depreciation of the community at the time of the sale was $1,338,022. We wrote off mortgage costs of $109,529 which is included in refinancing costs on the consolidated statement of operations. We recognized a gain on the sale of the property of $761,978 which is included in other income on the consolidated statements of operations.

On June 8, 2020, MHP Pursuits, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with William Howard O’Quinn and Mary W. O’Quinn for the asset purchase of a manufactured housing community known as Trans Villa Mobile Home Park located in Brunswick, Georgia, consisting of 118 sites on approximately 17 acres, for a total purchase price of $2,325,000.  On March 24, 2021, MHP Pursuits, LLC assigned the purchase and sale agreement to our new wholly owned subsidiary Golden Isle MHP LLC in anticipation of the purchase of the land and to Gvest Finance LLC, our VIE, in anticipation of the purchase of the homes. On March 31, 2021, closing was completed. Golden Isles MHP LLC purchased the land and land improvements for $1,537,500 and Gvest Finance LLC purchased the buildings for $787,500. 

In connection with our acquisitions of manufactured housing communities, we have established various limited liability companies to hold the acquired properties. Following is a summary of our subsidiaries, each of which is owned directly by our company.

In December 2020, we sold 305 park owned homes in four communities to Gvest Finance LLC, a company owned and controlled by our parent company, Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, our chairman and chief executive officer, and to its wholly owned subsidiary Gvest Homes 1 LLC, for a total of $4,648,967. We also executed a management agreement with these entities to manage the homes while remitting to our company all income, less any sums paid out for debt service plus 5% of the debt service payment. Primarily due to our common ownership by Mr. Gee, our power to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly impact their economic performance, and our company having the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from these entities that could potentially be significant to these entities, Gvest Finance LLC and Gvest Homes 1 LLC are considered to be VIEs in accordance with applicable GAAP. A company with interests in a VIE must consolidate the entity if the company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE; that is, if it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Such a determination requires management to evaluate circumstances and relationships that may be difficult to understand and to make a significant judgment, and to repeat the evaluation at each subsequent reporting date. In accordance with applicable GAAP, because of the common ownership among the entities, the consolidation of the VIEs have been accounted for retrospectively as of the beginning of the first period presented in the consolidated financial statements. 

OUR BUSINESS

Overview

We are a self-administered, self-managed, vertically integrated owner and operator of manufactured housing communities. We earn income from leasing manufactured home sites to tenants who own their own manufactured home and the rental of company-owned manufactured homes to residents of the communities.

We own and operate twenty manufactured housing communities containing approximately 1,353 developed sites and a total of 454 company-owned manufactured homes. The communities are located in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. See “Our Properties” for s description of these housing communities.

The Manufactured Housing Community Industry

Manufactured housing communities are residential developments designed and improved for the placement of detached, single-family manufactured homes that are produced off-site and installed and set on residential sites within the community. The owner of a manufactured home leases the site on which it is located and the lessee of a manufactured home leases both the home and site on which the home is located.

We believe that manufactured housing is accepted by the public as a viable and economically attractive alternative to common stick-built single-family housing. We believe that the affordability of the modern manufactured home makes it a very attractive housing alternative. Manufactured housing is one of the only non-subsidized affordable housing options in the U.S. Demand for housing affordability continues to increase, but supply remains static, as there are virtually no new manufactured housing communities being developed. We are committed to becoming an industry leader in providing this affordable housing option and an improved level of service to our residents, while producing an attractive and stable risk adjusted return to our investors.

A manufactured housing community is a land-lease community designed and improved with home sites for the placement of manufactured homes and includes related improvements and amenities. Each homeowner in a manufactured housing community leases from the community a site on which a home is located. The manufactured housing community owner owns the underlying land, utility connections, streets, lighting, driveways, common area amenities, and other capital improvements and is responsible for enforcement of community guidelines and maintenance of the community. Generally, each homeowner is responsible for the maintenance of his or her home and upkeep of his or her leased site. In some cases, customers may rent homes with the community owner’s maintaining ownership and responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the home. This option provides flexibility for customers seeking a more affordable, shorter-term housing option and enables the community owner to meet a broader demand for housing and improve occupancy and cash flow.

We believe that manufactured housing communities have several characteristics that make them an attractive investment when compared to certain other types of real estate, particularly multifamily, including:

Competition

There are numerous private companies, but only three publicly traded REITs that compete in the manufactured housing industry.  Many of the private companies and one of the REITs, UMH Properties, Inc., may compete with us for acquisitions of manufactured housing communities. Many of these companies have larger operations and greater financial resources than we do. The number of competitors, however, is increasing as new entrants discover the benefits of the manufactured housing asset class. We believe that due to the fragmented nature of ownership within the manufactured housing sector, the level of competition is less than that in other commercial real estate sectors. 

Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively:

Our Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy is to acquire both stable and undervalued and underperforming manufactured housing properties that have current income. We believe that we can enhance value through our professional asset and property management. Our property management services are mainly comprised of tenant contracts and leasing, marketing vacancies, community maintenance, enforcement of community policies, establishment and collection rent, and payment of vendors. Our lot and manufactured home leases are generally for one month and auto renew monthly for an additional month.

Our investment mission on behalf of our stockholders is to deliver an attractive risk-adjusted return with a focus on value creation, capital preservation, and growth. In our ongoing search for acquisition opportunities we target and evaluate manufactured housing communities nationwide.

We may invest in improved and unimproved real property and may develop unimproved real property. These property investments may be located throughout the United States, but to date we have concentrated in the Southeast portion of the United States. We are focused on acquiring communities with significant upside potential and leveraging our expertise to build long-term capital appreciation.

We are one of four public companies in the manufactured housing sector, but we are the only one not organized as a REIT, thereby giving us flexibility to focus on growth through reinvestment of income and employing higher leverage upon acquisition than the REITs traditionally utilize due to market held norms around 50-60%. This can give us a competitive advantage when bidding for assets. Additionally, due to our small size, non-institutional sized deals of less than 150 sites, which have less bidders and lower prices, are accretive to our balance sheet.

Regulation

Federal, State and/or Local Regulatory Compliance

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, and/or local statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations covering the purchase, development and operation of real estate assets. These regulatory requirements include zoning and land use, worksite safety, traffic, and other matters, such as local rules that may impose restrictive zoning and developmental requirements. We are subject to various licensing, registration, and filing requirements in connection with the development and operation of certain real estate assets. Additionally, state and/or local governments retain certain rights with respect to eminent domain which could enable them to restrict or alter the use of our property. These requirements may lead to increases in our overall costs. The need to comply with these requirements may significantly delay development with regard to properties, or lead us to alter our plans regarding certain real estate assets. Some requirements, on a property by property evaluation, may lead to a determination that development of a particular property would not be economically feasible, even if any or all necessary governmental approvals were obtained.

We believe that each community has all material operating permits and approvals.

Environmental Regulatory Compliance

Under various federal, state and/or local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of a property may be required to investigate and/or clean-up hazardous or toxic substances released at that property. That owner or operator also may be held liable to third parties for bodily injury or property damage (investigation and/or clean-up costs) incurred by those parties in connection with the contamination at that site. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or otherwise caused the release of the hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such persons.

The costs of remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances can be substantial, and the presence of contamination, or the failure to remediate contamination discovered, at a property we own or operate may adversely affect our ability to develop, sell, lease, or borrow upon that property. Current and former tenants at a property we own may have, or may have involved, the use of hazardous materials or generated hazardous wastes, and those situations could result in our incurring liabilities to remediate any resulting contamination if the responsible party is unable or unwilling to do so.

In addition, our properties may be exposed to a risk of contamination originating from other sources. While a property owner generally is not responsible for remediating contamination that has migrated on-site from an off-site source, the contaminant’s presence could have adverse effects on our ability to develop, construct on, operate, sell, lease, or borrow upon that property. Certain environmental laws may create a lien on a contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government may incur to remediate that contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on a property, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which that property may be used, or how businesses may be operated on that property, thus reducing our ability to maximize our investment in that property. Our properties have been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times; however, the identification of new areas of contamination, a change in the extent or known scope of contamination, or changes in environmental regulatory standards and/or cleanup requirements could result in significant costs to us.

Insurance and Property Maintenance and Improvement Policies

Our properties are insured against risks that may cause property damage and business interruption including events such as fire, business interruption, general liability and if applicable, flood. Our insurance policies contain deductible requirements, coverage limits and particular exclusions. It is our policy to maintain adequate insurance coverage on all of our properties; and, in the opinion of our management, all of our properties are adequately insured. We also obtain title insurance insuring fee title to the properties in an aggregate amount which we believe to be adequate.

It is also our policy to properly maintain, modernize, expand and make improvements to its properties when required.

Employees

As of March 31, 2021, we had 21 employees, including officers, all of whom are full-time employees.

OUR PROPERTIES

As of March 31, 2021, we owned the following manufactured housing properties:

The average occupancy rates above represent an average of total monthly occupancy rates from January 1, 2021 (or date of acquisition) through March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our total portfolio weighted average occupancy rate was 97%.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, except as described below, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

Corporate Governance

Our current board of directors is comprised of six members: Raymond M. Gee, Michael Z. Anise, William H. Carter, Richard M. Gee, James L. Johnson and Terry Robertson. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Robertson, Johnson and Carter are independent directors as that term is defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Our board of directors currently has two standing committees, an audit committee and a compensation committee, which perform various duties on behalf of and report to the board of directors. Each of the standing committees is comprised of a majority of independent directors. From time to time, the board of directors may establish other committees.

Governance Structure

Currently, our chief executive officer is also our chairman. Our board of directors believes that, at this time, having a combined chief executive officer and chairman is the appropriate leadership structure for our company. In making this determination, the board of directors considered, among other matters, Mr. Raymond M. Gee’s experience and tenure, and believed that he is highly qualified to act as both chairman and chief executive officer due to his experience, knowledge, and personality. Among the benefits of a combined chief executive officer/chairman considered by the board of directors is that such structure promotes clearer leadership and direction for our company and allows for a single, focused chain of command to execute our strategic initiatives and business plans.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors plays an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of our risks and strategic direction. Our board of directors regularly reviews information regarding our liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. Our audit committee oversees the process by which our senior management and relevant employees assess and manage our exposure to, and management of, financial risks. Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board of directors is regularly informed about such risks.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Robertson, Anise and Carter, with Mr. Robertson serving as chairman. Our board of directors has determined that each member of our audit committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has substantial business experience that results in such member’s financial sophistication. Our board of directors further determined that Mr. Robertson possesses the accounting or related financial management experience that qualifies him as financially sophisticated within the meaning of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and that he is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The primary purposes of our audit committee are to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of our company and audits of our financial statements, including (i) retaining and overseeing our independent accountants; (ii) assisting the board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) reviewing and approving the plan and scope of the internal and external audit; (iv) pre-approving any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (v) approving the fees to be paid to our independent auditors; (vi) reviewing with our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls; (vii) preparing the audit committee report to be filed with the SEC; (viii) reviewing hedging transactions; and (ix) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter. The role and responsibilities of our audit committee are more fully set forth in a written charter adopted by our board of directors, which is available on our website at www.mhproperties.com.

Compensation Committee 

Our compensation committee currently consists of Messrs. Johnson, Raymond Gee and Robertson, with Mr. Johnson serving as chairman. The primary purposes of our compensation committee are to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to determine the compensation of our executive officers and directors and to approve and evaluate the compensation policies and programs of our company, including (i) reviewing from time to time and approving our corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation and our executive compensation structure and compensation range; (ii) evaluating the chief executive officer’s performance in light of the goals and objectives and determining and approving the chief executive officer’s compensation based on this evaluation; (iii) determining and approving the compensation paid to our chief financial officer and any other executive officers; (iv) determining the compensation of our independent directors; (v) granting rights to indemnification and reimbursement of expenses to any officers, employees or directors; (vi) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (vii) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter. The role and responsibilities of our compensation committee are more fully set forth in a written charter adopted by our board of directors, which is available on our website at www.mhproperties.com.

The policies underlying our compensation committee’s compensation decisions are designed to attract and retain the best-qualified management personnel available. We routinely compensate our executive officers through salaries. At our discretion, we may reward executive officers and employees through bonus programs based on profitability and other objectively measurable performance factors. Additionally, we use stock options and other incentive awards to compensate our executives and other key employees to align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders. In establishing executive compensation, our compensation committee will evaluate compensation paid to similar officers employed at other companies of similar size in the same industry and the individual performance of each officer as it impacts our overall performance with particular focus on an individual’s contribution to the realization of operating profits and the achievement of strategic business goals. Our compensation committee will further attempt to rationalize a particular executive’s compensation with that of other executive officers of our company in an effort to distribute compensation fairly among the executive officers. Although the components of executive compensation (salary, bonus and incentive grants) will be reviewed separately, compensation decisions will be made based on a review of total compensation.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Such code of ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the code.

We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure, as permitted by applicable SEC rules. Any such disclosure will be posted to our website within four business days following the date of any such amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

The following description summarizes important terms of the classes of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws which have been filed as exhibits to the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share.  

As of the date of this offering circular, there were 12,403,680 shares of Common Stock, 1,890,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 757,351 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. No other shares of our capital stock were issued and outstanding as of such date.

Common Stock

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted upon by our stockholders, including the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights.  Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock, our Common Stockholders are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by our board.  Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets upon our dissolution or liquidation after payment or provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of our Preferred Stock then outstanding.  Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase shares of our stock.  The shares of our Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions.   The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock that we may issue in the future.

Preferred Stock

Our articles of incorporation further authorize the board of directors to issue, from time to time, without stockholder approval, up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Our board may, from time to time, authorize the issuance of one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock without stockholder approval. Subject to the provisions of our articles of incorporation and limitations prescribed by law, our board is authorized to adopt resolutions to issue shares, establish the number of shares, change the number of shares constituting any series, and provide or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions on shares of our Preferred Stock, including dividend rights, terms of redemption, conversion rights and liquidation preferences, in each case without any action or vote by our stockholders.

One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable our board to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The issuance of Preferred Stock may adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders by, among other things: restricting dividends on the Common Stock; diluting the voting power of the Common Stock; impairing the liquidation rights of the Common Stock; or delaying or preventing a change in control without further action by the stockholders.

Series A Preferred Stock

On May 8, 2019, we filed a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to establish our Series A Preferred Stock. We designated a total of 4,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as “Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.” Our Series A Preferred Stock has the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:

Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock will not limit our ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Dividend Rate and Payment Dates. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.017 per share each month, which is equivalent to the rate of 8% of the $2.50 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.

Liquidation Preference. The liquidation preference for each share of our Series A Preferred Stock is $2.50. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of our Common Stock and on a pari passu basis with holders of our Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares.

Stockholder Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof and without the payment of additional consideration, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the liquidation preference of such share by the conversion price then in effect. The conversion price is initially equal $2.50, subject to adjustment as set forth in the certificate of designation. In addition, if at any time the trading price of our Common Stock is greater than the liquidation preference of $2.50, we may deliver a written notice to all holders to cause each holder to convert all or part of such holders Series A Preferred Stock.

Company Call and Stockholder Put Options. Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and continuing indefinitely thereafter, we shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at a call price equal to $3.75, or 150% of the original issue price of our Series A Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder back to us at a put price equal to $3.75, or 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares.

Further Issuances. We will not be required to redeem shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at any time except as otherwise described above under the caption “Company Call and Stockholder Put Options.” Accordingly, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless we decide, at our option, to exercise our call right, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock exercises his put right or the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock converts such stock into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not subject to any sinking fund.

Voting Rights. We may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such senior securities) or amend our articles of incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely change the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Otherwise, holders of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights.

Series B Preferred Stock

On December 2, 2019, we filed a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to establish our Series B Preferred Stock.

Dividends on shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.

Liquidation Preference. The liquidation preference for each share of our Series B Preferred Stock is $10.00. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of our Common Stock and on a pari passu basis with holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares.

No Conversion Right. The Series B Preferred Stock are not convertible into shares of our Common Stock.

Series C Preferred Stock

On May 24, 2021, we filed an amended and restated certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to establish our Series C Preferred Stock.

Redemption Request at the Option of a Holder. Once per calendar quarter, a holder will have the opportunity to request that we redeem that holder’s Series C Preferred Stock. Our board of directors may, however, suspend cash redemptions at any time in its discretion if it determines that it would not be in the best interests of our company to effectuate cash redemptions at a given time because we do not have sufficient cash, including because our board believes that our cash on hand should be utilized for other business purposes. Redemptions will be limited to four percent (4%) of the total outstanding Series C Preferred Stock per quarter and any redemptions in excess of such limit or to the extent suspended, shall be redeemed in subsequent quarters on a first come, first served, basis. We will redeem shares at a redemption price equal to the stated value of such redeemed shares, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, less the applicable redemption fee (if any).

Mandatory Redemption by our company. We are required to redeem the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of their issuance at a redemption price equal to the stated value of such redeemed shares, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon.

Optional Repurchase Upon Death, Disability or Bankruptcy of a Holder. Subject to certain restrictions and conditions, we will also repurchase shares of Series C Preferred Stock of a holder who is a natural person (including an individual beneficial holder who holds shares through a custodian or nominee, such as a broker-dealer) upon his or her death, total disability or bankruptcy, within sixty (60) days of our receipt of a written request from the holder or the holder’s estate at a repurchase price equal to the stated value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. A “total disability” means a determination by a physician approved by us that a holder, who was gainfully employed and working at least forty (40) hours per week as of the date on which his or her shares were purchased, has been unable to work forty (40) or more hours per week for at least twenty-four (24) consecutive months.

In addition, we have no obligation to redeem shares in connection with a redemption request made by a holder if we determine, as of the redemption date, that we do not have sufficient funds available to fund that redemption. In this regard, we will have complete discretion under the certificate of designation for the Series C Preferred Stock to determine whether we are in possession of “sufficient funds” to fund a redemption request. To the extent we are unable to complete redemptions we may have earlier agreed to make, we will complete those redemptions promptly after we become able to do so, with all such deferred redemptions being satisfied on a first come, first served, basis.

Voting Rights. The Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights relative to matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders (other than as required by law). However, we may not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Stock: (i) amend or waive any provision of the certificate of designation or otherwise take any action that modifies any powers, rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series C Preferred Stock (other than an amendment solely for the purpose of changing the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock designated for issuance as provided in the certificate of designation); (ii) authorize, create or issue shares of any class of stock having rights, preferences or privileges as to dividends or distributions upon a liquidation that are superior to the Series C Preferred Stock; or (iii) amend our articles of incorporation in a manner that adversely and materially affects the rights of the Series C Preferred Stock.
