NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2008

(Unaudited)

A.	The Company

American Land Lease, Inc. (“ANL”) is a Delaware corporation that owns home sites leased to owners of homes situated on the leased land and operates the communities composed of these homes. ANL has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). ANL’s preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “ANLPRA.” ANL’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “ANL.” In May 1997, ANL contributed its net assets to Asset Investors Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) in exchange for the sole general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and substantially all of the Operating Partnership’s initial capital. Except as the context requires, “we,” “our,” “us,” “ANL” and the “Company” refer to American Land Lease, Inc., the Operating Partnership and all majority-owned subsidiaries.

Interests in the Operating Partnership held by limited partners other than ANL are referred to as “OP Units.” The Operating Partnership’s income is allocated to holders of OP Units based on the weighted average number of OP Units outstanding during the period. The holders of the OP Units receive distributions, prorated from the date of issuance, in an amount equivalent to the dividends paid, if any, to holders of ANL’s common stock. After holding the OP Units for one year, limited partners generally have the right to redeem their OP Units for cash. Notwithstanding that right, the Operating Partnership may elect to acquire some or all of the OP Units tendered for redemption in exchange for shares of ANL’s common stock in lieu of cash. At March 31, 2008, the Operating Partnership had approximately 993,000 OP Units outstanding, excluding those owned by ANL, and ANL owned 88% of the Operating Partnership.

As of March 31, 2008, based on total home sites, 72% of the Company’s portfolio of residential land lease communities is located in Florida, 24% in Arizona and 4% in Alabama.

B.	Presentation of Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP.

For further information, refer to the statements and notes thereto included in ANL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

C.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANL, the Operating Partnership and all majority owned subsidiaries. The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents the OP Units that are redeemable at the option of the holder. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003), an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”). The objective of FIN 46R is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company’s consolidated financial statements. A company that holds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate such entity if the company absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses or receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both (i.e., the primary beneficiary).

Real Estate and Depreciation

The Company capitalizes direct costs associated with the acquisition of consolidated properties as a cost of the assets acquired, and such direct costs are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. In accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”), the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate to land, land improvements, buildings, furniture, fixtures, equipment and intangibles, such as the value of above and below market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. In order to allocate purchase price on these various components, the Company performs the following procedures for properties acquired:

Determine the “as-if vacant” fair value of the physical property acquired;

Allocate the “as-if vacant” fair value among land, land improvements, buildings, (based on real estate valuation techniques), furniture, fixtures and equipment; and

Compute the difference between the purchase price of the property and the “as-if vacant” fair value and allocate such difference to leases in-place, which will represent the total intangible assets or liabilities. The fair value of the leases in-place are comprised of:

The value of the above and/or below market leases in-place. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values are computed based on the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates and effective lease terms for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining effective terms of the leases.

Avoided leasing commissions and other costs that were incurred to execute leases.

The value associated with lost rents during the absorption period (estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand).

The values of the above and below market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above market leases) to rental income over the

estimated remaining expected terms of the associated leases (including fixed rate renewal periods for below market leases). Amortization expense is recorded over the expected remaining terms of the associated leases for the values associated with avoided leasing commissions, other costs that were incurred to execute leases and the value associated with lost rents during the absorption period. If a resident vacates a home site prior to the effective term of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off.

Rental properties are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, unless considered impaired. Significant renovations and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated life. In addition, the Company capitalizes direct and indirect costs (including interest, taxes and other costs) in connection with the development of additional home sites within its residential land lease communities. Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed as incurred.

Interest incurred relating to the development of communities is capitalized during the development period. The Company’s strategy is to master plan, develop and build substantially all of the home sites in its communities. Accordingly, substantially all projects excluding finished lots where the home is available for occupancy, are undergoing development. The Company capitalized interest of approximately $2,262,000 and $2,175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may be impaired, the Company will make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, the Company would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the property. There were no impairment losses recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 to 75 years for land improvements, 5 to 50 years for buildings and 5 to 15 years for furniture and other equipment, all of which are judgmental determinations. These determinations may prove to be different than the actual life of any individual asset.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventory

The Company, through a taxable subsidiary corporation, maintains an inventory of manufactured homes situated within its residential land lease communities. Carrying amounts for inventory are determined on a specific identification basis and are stated at the lower of cost or market. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, inventory write-downs may be required that could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. As of March 31, 2008, $9,653,000 of the Company’s total inventory investment of $18,539,000 was older than one year. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded charges of approximately $109,000 and $132,000, respectively, to record inventory at market value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates income from the rental of home sites. The leases entered into by residents for the rental of home sites are generally for terms of one year, and the rental revenues associated with the leases are recognized when earned and due from residents.

The Company, through a taxable subsidiary corporation, generates income from memberships, daily green fees, cart rentals and merchandise sales at golf courses located within its communities. Revenues associated with the activities of the golf courses are recognized when earned and received by the Company.

The Company, through a taxable subsidiary corporation, generates income from the sale of homes situated on home sites owned by the Company. Sales of homes by the Company are recorded upon the closing of the home sale transaction and title passing to the purchaser.

Deferred Financing Costs

Fees and costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized. Such costs are amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements using the effective interest method and are charged to interest expense.

Advertising Costs

Costs of advertising are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. Direct response advertising conducted by the Company during the periods was expensed as incurred, as the Company could not define the expected period of future benefits. Advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $349,000, and $559,000, respectively, and are included within golf course operating expenses and selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

ANL has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, ANL must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including income, asset, and stockholder requirements, and a requirement that, in general, it must distribute currently at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its stockholders. It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain ANL’s REIT status. As a REIT, ANL generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders, by virtue of a deduction for dividends paid. If ANL fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if ANL qualifies for taxation as a REIT, ANL may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes and penalties, including taxes on ANL’s undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities conducted through ANL’s taxable subsidiaries is subject to federal, state, and local income taxes.

The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2004, and subsequent years are currently subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and administrative expenses. In March 2008, the Company was notified by the Internal Revenue

Service that it intends to examine the 2005 federal tax return for Asset Investors Operating Partnership. The Company does not anticipate that this examination will have a material impact on the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits or the financial condition of the Company.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 reflect the effect of dilutive, unexercised stock options, both vested and unvested, and unvested restricted stock of 130,000 and 366,000 shares, respectively. Vested and unvested stock options totaling 446,000 and 362,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the fair value of stock options, used the closing stock price at date of grant for time-based restricted stock and used a Monte Carlo model to estimate the fair value of market-based restricted stock for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Stock-based compensation is reported in selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $284,000 and $316,000, respectively.

Treasury Stock

On October 17, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the outstanding common stock. The timing of stock purchases is at the discretion of management. The Company purchased 33,000 and 0 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company has repurchased approximately 816,000 shares as of March 31, 2008 pursuant to this authorization.

Depreciation of Personal Property

Depreciation of personal property is reported in property operating expenses, golf course operating expenses, selling and marketing expenses, or general and administrative expenses, based upon the use of the associated asset. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded depreciation expense relating to personal property of $101,000 and $93,000, respectively. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 to 15 years for furniture and other equipment, all of which are judgmental determinations. These determinations may prove to be different than the actual life of any individual asset.

Statements of Cash Flows

The Company considers cash maintained in bank accounts, money market funds and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Non-cash financing activities for the period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 2008.

The implementation of SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s secured notes payable was $261,453,000 at March 31, 2008 as compared to the carrying value of $258,140,000 at March 31, 2008.

The aggregate fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2008 approximates their carrying value due to their relatively short-term nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”), certain reclassifications have been made in the 2007 consolidated financial statements to conform to the classifications used in the current year. Such reclassifications have no material effect on the amounts as originally presented.

Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires all components of comprehensive income (loss) be reported in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. For all periods reported, the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is equal to its net income reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

D.	Real Estate

Real estate at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2008			December 31, 2007
Land	$	92,820		$	92,664
Land improvements and buildings		343,572			338,695

		436,392			431,359
Less accumulated depreciation		(32,989	)		(31,842	)

Real estate, net	$	403,403		$	399,517

The Company’s real estate investment consists of land, land improvements and buildings. Buildings consist primarily of clubhouses at its residential land lease communities maintained as amenities for resident use. A majority of the Company’s investment in land improvements consists of long-lived assets such as lateral infrastructure at its residential land lease communities including sanitary sewer and storm water collection systems, potable water supply systems, roads and walkways. The balance of land improvements consists of assets with shorter lives such as marinas, fencing, swimming pools, spas, shuffleboard courts, tennis courts and other resident amenities. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 to 75 years for land improvements and 5 to 50 years for buildings.

E.	Secured Notes Payable

The following table summarizes the Company’s secured notes payable (in thousands):


	March 31, 2008		December 31, 2007
Fixed rate, ranging from 7.86% to 7.92%, fully amortizing, non-recourse notes maturing in 2020	$	7,758	$	9,882
Fixed rate, ranging from 5.48% to 7.17%, partially amortizing, non-recourse notes maturing at various dates from 2013 through 2021		228,276		207,982
Variable rate, at the three-month LIBOR plus 115 to 175 basis points, interest only non-recourse notes maturing at various dates from 2011 through 2012		22,106		22,106

	$	258,140	$	239,970

F.	Secured Credit Facilities

The Company has a revolving line of credit with a bank with a total commitment of $16,000,000 that bears interest at 175 points over the one-month LIBOR rate (4.4% at March 31, 2008 and 6.6% at December 31, 2007). The line of credit is secured by real property and improvements located in St. Lucie, Lake, and Pasco County, Florida and Maricopa County, Arizona with a net book value of $43,825,000. The revolving line of credit matures December 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, $0 was outstanding and $16,000,000 was not drawn under the revolving line of credit. The availability of funds to the Company under the line of credit is subject to certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions, including compliance with financial and other covenants there under. Based on the application of the borrowing base calculation, as of March 31, 2008, $12,539,000 was available to the Company. The line of credit also includes certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain an adjusted tangible net worth (as defined by the lender) of $150,000,000 and to maintain a debt to adjusted tangible net worth ratio of not more than 1.75 to 1.0, among others. The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements at March 31, 2008.

The Company has a floor plan line of credit with a floor plan lender providing a committed credit facility of $35,000,000 with a variable interest rate linked to the lender’s prime rate plus 25 basis points (6.3% at March 31, 2008 and 7.8% at December 31, 2007). Individual advances mature the earlier of 1,080 days or upon sale of the home to a third party. This floor plan line of credit is secured by inventory located in the Company’s residential land lease communities with a carrying value of approximately $17,068,000. At March 31, 2008, approximately $20,210,000 was outstanding, of which $2,791,000 was recourse to the Company, and approximately $14,790,000 was available under the floor plan credit facility. The financial covenants of the floor plan line of credit require the Company to maintain an adjusted tangible net worth (as defined by the lender) of $150,000,000 and to maintain a debt to adjusted tangible net worth ratio of not more than 1.75 to 1.0, among others. The floor plan lender’s commitment to fund future inventory purchases expires in September 2009. The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements at March 31, 2008.

G.	Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

The Company is party to various legal actions resulting from its operating activities. These actions are routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by liability insurance, and none of which are expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in assumptions and effectiveness of strategies, related to these proceedings.

Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into various construction contracts with third parties to develop subdivisions within the Company’s existing portfolio of residential land lease communities. The unpaid balance of these contracts remaining at March 31, 2008 is approximately $410,000.

During 2007, the Company issued a construction loan to a development company in Arizona. The maximum aggregate amount of advances available under the construction loan is $8,080,000, subject to certain inventory level restrictions provided for in the loan documents that limit the aggregate amount of advances outstanding at any given time. The proceeds of the loan are to be used exclusively to develop a community for the Company in Mesa, Arizona. At March 31, 2008, the application of the inventory restriction limits the additional funds available to the development company to approximately $3,181,000. At March 31, 2008, approximately $2,501,000 was outstanding under the construction loan.

H.	Segment Reporting

The Company has two reportable segments: real estate (ownership of land leases, land development, investment acquisition and disposition) and home sales (sale of homes, both new and used, to be sited on land owned by the Company). The real estate segment consists of residential land lease communities that generate rental and other property related income through the leasing of land to residents that are unaffiliated with the Company. The home sales segment sells manufactured homes to customers that are unrelated to the Company. The homes sold by the home sales segment are situated on land within the

Company’s portfolio of rental property. The customers of the home sales business become residents of the Company’s real estate segment coincident with the sale of a home, at which time the customer enters into a lease with the real estate segment. The chief operating decision maker assesses the performance of the real estate segment using, among other measures, net operating income excluding depreciation as a key measurement of segment profit or loss. The chief operating decision maker assesses the performance of the home sales segment using, among other measures, contribution margin, excluding allocated corporate expenses as the best measure of the segments performance. Segment operating income is generally defined as segment revenues less direct segment operating expenses.

Non-segment revenue used to reconcile total revenue consists primarily of interest income and other income. Non-segment assets used to reconcile to total assets include cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrows, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, deferred charges and other assets. Overhead expenses, such as administrative expenses, are allocated to each segment based upon management’s best estimate of the resources utilized in the management and operations of each segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note C.

The revenues, net income (loss), and assets for each of the reportable segments are summarized in the following tables for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 (in thousands):

I	Stocks and Dividends

Dividends

ANL’s common stock and preferred stock dividends are set quarterly by ANL’s Board of Directors and are subject to change or elimination at any time. ANL paid quarterly dividends on common stock of $0.25 per share totaling $1,964,000 and $1,990,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. ANL paid quarterly dividends on preferred stock of $0.48 per share totaling $484,000 and $484,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company deducts cumulative paid and unpaid preferred stock dividends from net income to arrive at net income available to common stockholders. The Company deducted $484,000 in each of the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, related to cumulative paid and unpaid preferred stock dividends.

J.	Stock-based Compensation

The Company’s Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock in the form of qualified and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and deferred stock to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. As of March 31,

2008, the Company has granted awards of stock options and restricted stock under the Plan. As of March 31, 2008, there was approximately $4,190,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.9 years. This expected cost does not include the impact of any future stock-based compensation awards. The Company recognized $284,000 and $316,000 in stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Stock Options

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company issued approximately 314,000 and 126,000 options, respectively. The Company elected to continue to estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the estimated weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $1.68 and $3.73 per option, respectively.

Restricted Stock

The Company issued approximately 67,000 and 6,000 shares as time-based awards of restricted stock to members of management for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, with fair values per share of $19.93 and $27.65, respectively. The time-based awards of restricted stock were issued at the fair value of ANL’s common stock on the date of issuance. The fair value of such restricted stock is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period.

The Company issued 65,000 and 65,000 shares as market-based awards of restricted stock to members of management during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average per share fair values of the market-based restricted stock was $10.03 and $7.38, respectively. In the event the market-based performance objectives are not attained, the market-based awards of restricted stock are forfeited, but the dividends paid are not forfeited.

The fair value of the market-based awards of restricted stock is amortized to compensation expense over the requisite service period. The requisite service period for market-based restricted stock awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was three years for both grants. The principal terms of the market-based awards of restricted stock, also known as high performance shares (“HPS Shares”), are more fully described below.

The HPS Shares vest to the extent, if any, that the total return realized by stockholders during the measurement period exceeds the ten-year return for the Equity REIT Index prior to the date of grant, as reported by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). Total return is defined as the total of the closing price at year-end plus any dividends paid, less the closing price for the prior year-end. The total return for the Company is measured over a three-year period that ends on the final valuation date specified in connection with each grant of HPS Shares. To the extent that HPS Shares are not vested as of the final valuation date, such shares are forfeited and are returned to the Company. Vesting is achieved ratably on the final valuation date to the extent that excess value has been realized. In order for management’s HPS Shares to vest in full at a given final valuation date, the actual total return to stockholders over the applicable three-year period is required to exceed the Equity REIT Index total return by 5% per year on a compounded basis.

The Company granted 65,000 HPS Shares in February 2008 with a final measurement date of December 31, 2010. The Equity REIT Index annual compounded total return over the trailing ten years as of December 31, 2007 was 10.5%. For the 2008 HPS Shares to fully vest, the actual total return over the three-year period is required to be 15.5%. If the actual total return is between 10.5% and 15.5%, then a

ratable portion of the HPS Shares would vest (for example, one half of the HPS Shares would vest if the actual total return is 13.0%). If the actual total return does not exceed 10.5%, all of the 2008 HPS Shares would be forfeited, but none of the dividends paid during the three-year period would be forfeited.

K.	Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company reports as discontinued operations real estate assets held for sale and real estate assets sold in the current period. All results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income on the consolidated statements of operations under the heading “DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.”

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company sold an age-restricted community located in Florida with 261 home sites. The sale of this community resulted in reclassifications of 2007 financial statement amounts. The following is a summary of the components of income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008		Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Discontinued property operations:
Rental and other property revenues	$	—	$	385
Property operating expenses		—		(140	)
Interest expense		—		(134	)
Depreciation		—		(24	)

Income from discontinued operations before minority interest		—		87
Minority interest in Operating Partnership attributable to discontinued operations		—		(10	)

Income from discontinued operations, net of minority interest	$	—	$	77

As of March 31, 2008, the Company did not have any assets classified as held for sale.

L.	Recent Accounting Developments

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure financial assets and liabilities (except for those that are specifically scoped out of the statement) at fair value. The election to measure a financial asset or liability at fair value can be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. The difference between carrying value and fair value at the election date is recorded as a transition adjustment to opening retained earnings. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The effective date for SFAS 159 is as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). The Statement seeks to improve uniformity and transparency in reporting of the net income attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements of the reporting entity. The statement requires, among other provisions, the disclosure, clear labeling and presentation of non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Income Statement. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, early adoption is prohibited. The Company is evaluating SFAS 160 and has not yet determined the impact the adoption will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”), but retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (also known as the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity; (b) improves the completeness of the information reported about a business combination by changing the requirements for recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies; (c) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (d) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R replaces, with limited exceptions as specified in the Statement, the cost allocation process in SFAS 141 with a fair value based allocation process. SFAS 141R is required to be adopted concurrently with SFAS 160 and is effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is evaluating SFAS 141R and has not yet determined the impact the adoption will have on the consolidated financial statements.

N.	Subsequent Events

The Company’s common stock dividend is set quarterly and is subject to change or elimination at any time. On April 30, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, payable on May 30, 2008, to stockholders of record on May 16, 2008.

The Company’s preferred stock dividend is set quarterly and is subject to change or elimination at any time. On April 30, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4844 per share of Series A Preferred Stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 payable on May 30, 2008, to stockholders of record on May 16, 2008.

On April 30, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2008 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, which provides for the issuance of awards with respect to up to 600,000 shares of common stock. This plan was previously approved, subject to stockholder approval, by the Board of Directors on March 27, 2008. This plan is the successor to the Company’s 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, which expired on April 21, 2008.

Item 2.

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

Introduction

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as information communicated orally or in writing between the dates of these SEC filings, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may include projections relating to our results of operations, cash flow, dividends, anticipated returns on real estate investments, opportunities to acquire additional communities and future stock repurchases. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include: general economic and business conditions; interest rate changes; financing and refinancing risks; risks inherent in owning real estate or debt secured by real estate; demand for new homes; future development rate of home sites; competition; the availability of real estate assets at prices which meet our investment criteria; our ability to reduce expense levels, implement rent increases, use leverage and other risks set forth in our SEC filings. In addition, American Land Lease, Inc.’s current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Readers should carefully review our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents we file from time to time with the SEC. American Land Lease, Inc. assumes no obligation and does not intend to update forward-looking statements.

Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us,” “ANL” and the “Company” refer to American Land Lease, Inc., the Operating Partnership and all majority-owned subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which require us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that of our significant accounting policies (see Note C to the condensed consolidated financial statements), the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Capitalized Costs

We capitalize direct and indirect costs (including interest, real estate taxes, and other costs) in connection with initial capital expenditures, capital enhancements, and capital replacements, as well as similar spending for development and redevelopment of our properties. Indirect costs that are not capitalized, including general and administrative expenses, are charged to expense as incurred. The amounts capitalized vary with the volume, cost and timing of these activities and, especially, with the pace of development and redevelopment activities. As a result, changes in the volume, cost and timing of these activities or the cessation of such activities may have a significant impact on our financial results.

The most significant capitalized cost is interest. We capitalize interest when the following three conditions are present: (i) expenditures for the asset have been made, (ii) activities necessary to get the

asset ready for its intended use are in progress and (iii) interest cost is being incurred. Our determination of the activities in progress for a development property is subject to professional judgment. The most significant judgment is the determination to capitalize interest relating to the ownership of land being developed as new home sites. In many cases, the development of such land is expected to take place over several years and in multiple phases. In such instances, it is our conclusion that the entirety of each parcel is under development and is a qualifying asset. Accordingly, interest is capitalized with respect to the entire parcel until such time as all development activities cease or the individual home site is ready for its intended use. We capitalized interest of $2,262,000 and $2,175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We regularly review the amount of capitalized costs in conjunction with our review of impairment of long-lived assets. Based on the level of development activity for the period ended March 31, 2008, if our development activities decreased such that 10% of our assets qualifying for capitalization of interest are no longer qualified, the amount of capitalized interest would have been reduced by $226,000. Reducing capitalized interest would increase interest expense, resulting in lower net income, which would be offset in future periods by lower depreciation expense.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Real estate and other long-lived assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless considered impaired. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may be impaired, we will make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. In the event the property is under development, the estimate of future cash flows includes all future expenditures necessary to develop the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the property.

Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of our real estate investments. These factors include changes in the national, regional and local economic climates; local conditions, such as an oversupply of residential land lease properties or a reduction in the demand for our residential land lease properties; competition from other housing sources, including single and multifamily properties; plus changes in market rental rates. Additional factors that may adversely affect the economic performance and value of our development properties include regulatory changes that impact the number of home sites that can be built on our undeveloped land, changes in projected costs to construct new subdivisions in our communities and regulatory changes made by local, regional, state or national authorities. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment in our real estate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of the Company’s secured notes payable was $261,453,000 at March 31, 2008 as compared to the carrying value of $258,140,000 at March 31, 2008.

Rental Property Depreciation

Inventory

Carrying amounts for inventory are determined on a specific identification basis and are stated at the lower of cost or market. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, if customer preferences change, or if material improvements are made by suppliers that are preferred by our customers compared to inventory we own, inventory write-downs may be required. Any such write-downs may have a significant impact on our financial results. On a quarterly basis, we review each home in inventory that is older than one year and evaluate our carrying amount versus recent offers, comparable sales, and our asking price in order to derive an estimate of its market value. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds our estimate of market value, less a normalized margin, we record a write-down of the carrying amount as a charge to the cost of home sales in the current period. As of March 31, 2008, $9,653,000 of our total inventory of $18,539,000 was older than one year. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded charges of $109,000 and $132,000, respectively to write down carrying amounts to market value. If our estimate of fair market value was overstated by 10%, we would record an additional write down to fair market value, less a normalized margin, of $796,000 based upon the carrying value of inventory as of March 31, 2008.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is recorded at the fair value of awards at the date of issuance over the requisite service period. The determination of fair value of market-based restricted stock and stock options requires the application of complex financial models and assumptions. The fair value assigned to awards at the date of issuance determines the amount of compensation expense that will be recognized over the vesting period for the award. There are alternative valuation models that may result in a valuation for awards that differs from our assessment of fair value. The application of alternative models or different valuation assumptions within the models we use will result in a fair value that is greater than or less than the fair value we assign to awards. To the extent that the alternative fair value is greater than the fair value we assign to awards, compensation expense over the vesting term of the award would increase resulting in lower net income. In addition, management must estimate the number of shares and options that will be forfeited by employees before the vesting requirements are met. We base our estimate of forfeitures on the historical forfeiture rate realized on prior awards. We revise our estimate on an ongoing basis to reflect actual forfeitures.

Legal Contingencies

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings. We do not believe these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in

assumptions and the effectiveness of strategies related to these proceedings. The amount of loss contingencies involving litigation, for which a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, is determined through consultation with legal counsel representing the Company. Our evaluation of loss contingencies arising from litigation, claims and assessments, considers unasserted claims and associated estimates of loss, if any, are provided to the extent probable and reasonably estimable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”), but retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (also known as the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity; (b) improves the completeness of the information reported about a business combination by changing the requirements for recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies; (c) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (d) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R replaces, with limited exceptions as specified in the Statement, the cost allocation process in SFAS 141(R) with a fair value based allocation process. SFAS 141R is required to be adopted concurrently with SFAS 160 and is effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is evaluating SFAS 141R and has not yet determined the impact the adoption will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Operating Strategy

One of the measures we use to analyze our economic profitability is FFO less annual capital replacement spending for developed home sites. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our capital replacement spending averaged $116 per developed home site.

We believe that the presentation of FFO, when considered with the financial data determined in accordance with GAAP, provides a useful measure of our performance. We use FFO in measuring our operating performance because we believe that the items that result in a difference between FFO and net income have a different impact to the ongoing operating performance of a real estate company than to other businesses. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions, since FFO does not consider recurring capital expenditures, debt maturities or other capital expenditure commitments of the Company. The Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains and losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO beginning with the NAREIT definition as further adjusted for the minority interest in the Operating Partnership owned by persons other than us. Our basis of computing FFO is not necessarily comparable with that of other REITs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, our FFO was (in thousands):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008

Executive Overview

We are in the business of owning and leasing residential land. Our current business focuses on the ownership of land and generation of these leases primarily within adult or retirement (55+) communities (94% of our total home sites at March 31, 2008); we focus on these communities for the following reasons:

•

Current demographic projections predict that the customer base for this asset class will grow for the next 20+ years.

•

The residents have established credit histories and therefore are able to obtain favorable financing or pay cash for their homes – making significant equity investments to improve the leasehold estate that effectively secures our lease.

•

The residents, as a result of their retired or semi-retired status, are less affected by current economic changes – thereby making their continued rental payments more stable and the continued sales of homes in our communities more consistent year to year.

•

The Company is able to leverage its current marketing, brand, and management expertise.

We seek growth through home sales to fill unoccupied home sites in current subdivisions, development of our land portfolio to increase the inventory of available home sites, and the selective acquisition of communities and development opportunities.

This business model presents a number of challenges and risks for the Company’s management. Several of these risks are:

•

Community operations require management of expenses throughout the year while revenue increases are established on an annual basis and in some instances, are fixed at lease origination.

•

The continued development of additional home sites is a capital-intensive activity that requires substantial investments to be made in advance of returns.

•

Older homes may depreciate or become obsolete, thereby reducing the value of the property that effectively secures our lease.

•

Changes in the interest rate environment may have an adverse impact on our new home buyers’ ability to realize sufficient proceeds from the sale of their present homes or finance new purchases, thereby limiting their financial ability to acquire new homes in our communities.

•

The cost of developing additional home sites and communities may increase at a rate or to a level that may exceed the costs projected at the point of the initial investment by the Company, and increases in rental rates may not be sufficient to offset the increased development costs.

•

Based upon the above and other factors, the rate of sales of new homes may be substantially slower than projected at the point of the initial investment by the Company, resulting in returns on investment materially different from original projections.

There are additional challenges that might occur as a result of natural disasters such as hurricanes:

•

Our residents’ homes may have damage that exceeds the insurance proceeds available under their homeowner’s policies, thereby limiting residents’ ability to restore their home to its pre-hurricane condition. In some instances, this may result in a loss of occupancy for an unknown period of time. This occupancy loss may be insured under the Company’s business interruption policies.

•

The extent of claims made against properties in our asset class may continue to have a material impact on the cost of insurance for both the Company and our residents, thereby increasing the Company’s operating costs at a rate in excess of rental rate increases and limiting our residents’ ability to reinvest in their homes at the same rate enjoyed before the natural disaster.

•

The severity and number of natural disasters that impact Florida may result in a slowing rate of new customers to buy homes on our expansion sites, thereby reducing the rate of absorption and lowering the Company’s return on investment.

•

The costs of hurricane clean-up and repair may not be fully covered by insurance policies, resulting in higher than projected capital spending.

•

Hurricanes may significantly disrupt our sales and marketing activities, thereby reducing home sales and revenue growth from new home site rentals during the impacted fiscal periods.

Beginning in 2007 and continuing in 2008, our ability to fill unoccupied sites in our land lease communities with new homes was significantly impacted by the U.S. housing market.

We believe this slowdown is attributable to a decline in consumer confidence, an overall softening of demand for new homes, an oversupply of homes available for sale, the inability of some of our home

buyers to sell their current home and the direct and indirect impact of the turmoil in the mortgage loan market. Industry conditions deteriorated significantly during 2007 and continued in 2008. We attribute the reduction in new home sales demand to concerns on the part of prospective home buyers about the direction of home prices and concerns by prospective home buyers about being able to sell their existing homes. The potential of mortgage foreclosures, price reductions and increased sales incentives advertised by homebuilders have contributed to home buyers’ concerns and provide impediments to our new home sales process. The result has been weakened demand for new homes, slower sales, lower prices for homes at time of resale, higher cancellation rates, and increased price discounts and other sales incentives to attract homebuyers. The weakened demand for new homes has negatively impacted our profitability, cash flow, liquidity and returns on newly leased sites.

We continue to operate our business with the expectation that difficult market conditions will continue to impact us for at least the near term. We expect these trends in our new home sales activities to continue and the majority of the markets we serve to remain challenging throughout 2008.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Rental Property Operations

Rental and other property revenues from our owned properties totaled $9,717,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $9,336,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $381,000 or 4.1%. The increase in property operating revenue was a result of:

•

$407,000 increase in base rental income driven by increases in rental rates and the origination of leases of new home sites at our development properties,

•

$53,000 increase in the pass on of utilities to tenants correlated with the increase in utilities expenses, and a

•

$21,000 increase in rents for recreational vehicle sites and other miscellaneous income, all offset by a

•

$97,000 decrease in revenue recognized related to acquired lease obligations, and a

•

$3,000 decrease in the pass on of property tax allocations to tenants correlated with certain property tax expenses.

Golf course operating revenues totaled $439,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $9,000 or 2.1%. Golf revenues increased at one community and decreased at two communities that have adjacent golf courses.

Property operating expenses from our owned properties totaled $3,163,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $3,189,000 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $26,000 or 0.8%. The decrease in property operating expenses was a result of:

•

$35,000 decrease in professional fees,

•

$22,000 decrease in property-level expense related to repairs and maintenance,

•

$20,000 decrease in property operating overhead, and a

•

$9,000 decrease in property taxes partially correlated with billings to tenants reported as rental and other property revenues, all offset by a

•

$42,000 increase in utility expense partially correlated with an increase in billings to tenants reported as rental & other property revenue,

•

$13,000 increase in property insurance, and a

•

$5,000 increase in salaries, wages and benefits.

Golf course operating expenses totaled $332,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $335,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $3,000 or 0.9%.

Depreciation expense was $1,348,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1,205,000 during the same period in 2007. The increase was as a result of an increase in depreciable property attributable to the continued development of previously undeveloped home sites.

Same store property revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by 5.6% from the three months ended March 31, 2007, consisting of a 3.2% increase from same site rental revenues, a 2.3% increase from absorption rental site revenues and a 0.1% increase from golf revenues. Expenses related to those revenues decreased 0.5% over that same period consisting of a (0.4%) decrease in same site rental expenses, and a (0.1%) decrease in golf expenses. Same store property net operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 8.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our same store base included 100.0% of our property operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

We believe that the same store information provides the users of these financial statements with a comparison of the profitability for properties owned during both reporting periods that cannot be obtained from a review of the consolidated statement of operations. This comparison can be useful to an understanding of the “parts” in addition to an understanding of the “whole.” A reconciliation of same store operating results used in the above calculation to total operating revenues and total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is reflected in the following table (in thousands):

Computed as the change in the individual component of same store revenue or expense divided by the total applicable same store base (revenue or expense) for the 2007 period. For example, same store rental revenue increase of $308 as compared to the total same store revenues in 2007 of $9,632 is a 3.2% increase ($308 / $9,632 = 3.2%).

⁽²⁾	Other ancillary revenues consist of amortization of deferred income recognized related to acquired lease obligations, intercompany revenues and other miscellaneous income not attributable to land leases.

Home Sales Business

Revenues for the home sales business totaled $3,855,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $7,665,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in revenues compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to decreased sales at nine of our expansion communities. The average selling price of new homes closed was $143,000 and $135,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, an increase of 5.9%. Homes sold totaled 28 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 55 homes for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of 49.1%.

A summary of our home sales activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is highlighted in the following table:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008	Three Months Ended March 31, 2007	Unit Change		Percent Change
New home closings	28	55	(27	)	(49.1	)%
New home contracts	23	96	(73	)	(76.0	)%
Home resales	2	3	(1	)	(33.3	)%

New home contract backlog⁽¹⁾	12	58	(46	)	(79.3	)%

⁽¹⁾	Balance as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Total cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $2,837,000 compared to $5,633,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Resulting margin decreases are attributable to a decrease in manufacturer rebates associated with lower purchasing and increases in costs of homes purchased partially offset by increases attributable to increased selling prices. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $299,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of lower commission expense associated with lower sales volumes coupled with decreased marketing expense in the current year.

We reported a loss from the home sales business of $994,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to a loss of $265,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses were $1,222,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $964,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $258,000 increase in expense was a result of:

•

$103,000 increase in acquisition costs,

•

$100,000 increase in salaries, wages and benefits,

•

$53,000 increase in regulatory compliance and public company reporting costs, and a

•

$37,000 increase in other miscellaneous expenses, all offset by a

•

$29,000 decrease in stock based compensation expense, and a

•

$6,000 decrease in professional fees.

Interest and Other Income

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, interest and other income were $44,000 and $170,000, respectively. The decrease of $126,000 is a result of a one-time fee paid to us for delays caused by a prior owner of a community in 2007.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, interest expense was $2,248,000 and $2,109,000, respectively, which was net of capitalized interest of $2,262,000 and $2,175,000, respectively. The increase is primarily a result of higher outstanding balances offset by a decrease in the amount of variable rate debt carried by us.

Loss on Early Debt Retirement

The Company incurred a $1,987,000 prepayment fee associated with refinancing three loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. There were no such fees incurred in 2007.

Cumulative Preferred Stock Dividends

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, cumulative preferred stock dividends were $484,000.

Returns from Home Sales Business

We engage in the home sales business for four reasons:

to lease expansion home sites within our portfolio, thereby increasing the profitability and value of our communities,

to upgrade existing leased home sites with new and more valuable homes, thereby increasing the long-term value of the lease income stream,

to broker the resale of homes in order to support investment values in the homes and to attract good neighbors all so as to promote the long term values of the communities, both for the residents who are our customers and for the long-term growth and security of our own investment, and

to resell any homes we acquire as a result of defaults in lease obligations owed to us.

We measure the profitability of developing and leasing expansion home sites within our portfolio through identifying the following:

an estimate of the stabilized first year profit on the leases originated on expansion home sites,

an estimate of the total development costs of the expansion sites leased including all current and projected development costs, and

an estimate of the home sales profit or loss attributable to new homes sold on expansion sites, without consideration for the other aspects of the home sales business.

We believe that our projection of the stabilized first year returns from the leases originated on expansion home sites provides the user of our financial statements with a comparison of the profitability of the newly leased sites to our current portfolio and to alternative investments in stabilized communities. Our calculation of estimated stabilized first year returns from leases originated on expansion home sites is a projection. We project the amount of variable property operating expenses we will incur as a result of the newly leased home sites. In order to project our variable operating expenses, we begin with operating expenses determined in accordance with GAAP and deduct those expenses we believe will not increase with the addition of newly leased sites.

The most directly comparable financial measure that can be reconciled to GAAP is our historical return on investment in operational home sites for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is reconciled on

page 32 in footnote 1. Our projection of the estimated stabilized first year return from leases originated on expansion home sites cannot be directly reconciled to a comparable GAAP measure, principally because there will be leases that begin during the period and we estimate the incremental operating expenses associated with these leases. The estimated stabilized first year return from leases originated on investment in expansion home sites should not be considered in isolation nor is it intended to represent an alternative measure of operating income or cash flow or any other measure of performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

By comparing the projected stabilized first year profit on the expansion home site leases originated to the sum of total development costs, as increased (in the event of a home sales loss) or decreased (in the event of a home sales profit) by the estimated home sales profit or loss, we are able to measure the projected stabilized first year return from leases originated on our expansion home sites. We believe that this measure provides a useful comparison to the returns available from investing in stabilized communities.

Our calculation of projected stabilized first year return from leases originated on expansion home sites includes the following components:

(a)

We derive our projected stabilized first year profit on leases originated on expansion home sites by deducting estimated operating expenses from the stabilized contractual revenues from leases originated during the period. We estimate operating expenses using one half of the actual ratio of property operating expenses incurred to property revenue generated in the prior year. For example, if we originate a lease at a property where the ratio of operating expense to property revenues was 40% for the prior year, we apply a 20% expense ratio to project the additional expense associated with the newly leased home site for the first year. We believe that one half of the actual expenses is an appropriate estimate of the relationship between fixed and variable expenses of operating our communities.

(b)

The total development costs of the expansion sites leased are based upon the sum of land, construction costs, and other capitalized costs, including interest expense, as allocated to the individual home sites based upon the leased value of each home site.

(c)

We determine the home sales profit or loss that is attributable to sale of homes situated on expansion home sites by deducting from the reported home sales operating income the gross margin and commissions attributable to the (i) the sale of used homes, and (ii) brokerage of home sale transactions between third parties. We make no allocation of sales overhead to the transactions identified above.

We believe that our home sales operations drive our projected stabilized first year return from leases originated on expansion home sites because most of our expansion home site leases originate with our sale of a home.

Our projections of the stabilized first year returns from the leases originated on expansion home sites constitute “forward looking statements.” Actual returns may be materially different than such projections as a result of the risks and other factors discussed throughout our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2007. We undertake no obligation to update such projections to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

The leases facilitated by the home sales business during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are estimated to provide a stabilized first year return on investment of 4.8% and 6.3%, respectively. These returns are shown on the following table and are based upon unaudited projected information. This compares to our realized returns from operational home sites of 8.3% for the year ended December 31,

2007. The decrease in return on expansion home sites is driven primarily by (i) the decreased profitability of our home sales business resulting from fewer home sales over which the fixed costs are allocated, and (ii) an increase in the per site cost of development. Our future returns are dependent upon a number of factors including changes in the per site cost of development, changes in lease incentives utilized in support of the rate of new home sales, changes in the profitability of our home sales business, changes in the quantity of new homes sold and other factors.

The calculation of our projected first year return from leases originated on expansion home sites for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is shown on the following table (in thousands, except expansion sites leased):

Return on investment in operational sites (A/B) ¹		8.3	%

Our return on investment in operational sites reflects our income from and investment in sites that were leased for the first time during the year ended December 31, 2007. For these leases, the income reported above includes less than a full twelve months of operating results. Consequently, when compared to the investment we have made in these home sites, the return on investment during the year ended December 31, 2007 is less than the return when measured using a full twelve months of operating results.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $255,000. Our principal activities that demand liquidity include our normal operating activities, development expenditures, payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt, acquisitions of and additional investments in properties, and payments of distributions to preferred and common stockholders and OP Unit holders. We expect to utilize cash provided by operating activities and short-term borrowings to meet short-term liquidity demands. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as debt maturities and property acquisitions, through long-term borrowings, both secured and unsecured, the issuance of debt or equity securities (including OP Units or other partnership interests), the sales of properties and cash generated from operations.

In the event that the current economic downturn continues and the cash provided by operating activities is reduced or if access to short term borrowing sources becomes restricted, the Company may be required to reduce or eliminate expenditures for the continued development of its communities and/or reduce or eliminate its preferred and common dividend.

We have a revolving line of credit with a bank with a total commitment of $16,000,000 that bears interest at 175 basis points over the one-month LIBOR rate (4.4% at March 31, 2008). The line of credit is secured by real property and improvements located in St. Lucie, Lake, and Pasco Counties, Florida and Maricopa County, Arizona with a net book value of $43,825,000. The revolving line of credit matures on December 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, $0 was outstanding and $16,000,000 was not drawn under the revolving line of credit. The availability of funds to the Company under the line of credit is subject to certain borrowing base and other customary restrictions, including compliance with financial and other covenants there under. Based on the application of the borrowing base calculation, as of March 31, 2008, $12,539,000 was available to the Company. The line of credit also includes certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a tangible net (as defined by lender) worth of $150,000,000 and to maintain a debt to adjusted tangible net worth (as defined by lender) ratio of not more than 1.75 to 1.0, among others. The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements under this revolving line of credit at March 31, 2008.

We have a floor plan line of credit with a floor plan lender providing a committed credit facility of $35,000,000 with a variable interest rate of prime plus 25 basis points (6.3% at March 31, 2008). Individual advances mature the earlier of 1,080 days or upon sale of the home to a third party. The floor plan line of credit is partially recourse to the Company and at March 31, 2008, $2,791,000 of the outstanding balance under the floor plan was recourse to the Company. This floor plan line of credit is secured by inventory located in the Company’s residential land lease communities with a carrying value of approximately $17,068,000. The financial covenants of the floor plan line of credit require the Company to maintain a tangible net (as defined by lender) worth of $150,000,000 and to maintain a debt to adjusted tangible net worth (as defined by lender) ratio of not more than 1.75 to 1.0, among others. The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements under this floor plan facility at March 31, 2008. The floor plan lender’s commitment to fund future inventory purchases expires in September 2009. At March 31, 2008, $20,210,000 was outstanding, and approximately $14,790,000 was available under the floor plan facility.

Our ability to access secured and unsecured borrowings as a source of liquidity is dependent upon factors outside of our control, including economic trends that impact the availability of credit from lending sources we currently utilize. Our ability to issue additional equity in the form of equity securities (including the issuance by the Operating Partnership of OP Units) is dependent upon certain factors outside of our control, including returns available on alternative investments and other economic factors. The amount of cash generated by our operations is dependent upon our ability to operate our existing portfolio of revenue earning sites and to originate new earning sites through new lease originations generated by our home sales business. Our ability to generate cash through the operation of our current portfolio is dependent upon the costs we pay to acquire the goods and services required to operate the portfolio, the absence of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, that would disrupt the flow of rental income for an undeterminable time period and other factors. Our ability to generate cash through the origination of new earning sites is dependent upon our ability to market effectively to our target market customers, to originate contracts for sale of homes at our properties, thereby generating income producing leases and to develop the undeveloped land within our portfolio in a timely fashion, and on a cost effective basis. Our ability to generate cash through the origination of new earning sites is dependent on market factors as well, including demand for new homes.

Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $5.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $6.2 million during the same period in 2007. The $1.1 million decrease was primarily the result of:

•

$0.7 million decrease in home sales earnings due lower sales volumes,

•

$0.2 million increase in general administrative cash expenses

•

$0.1 million decrease in other income,

•

$0.1 million decrease in operating income from discontinued operations,

•

$0.1 million increase in interest costs,

•

$0.6 million increase in cash used to fund inventory in 2008 as compared to the cash used to fund inventory decreases in 2007, offset by a

•

$0.4 million increase in property operating income due rental increases, and a

•

$0.3 million increase in cash provided by operating asset and liabilities as a result of changes in business volumes.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the net cash used in investing activities was $7.0 million, compared with $8.4 net cash used during the same period in 2007. The $1.4 million decrease in net cash used for investing activities is primarily the result of:

•

$3.2 million decrease in expenditures for capital replacements, development and improvements in the 2008 period as compared to the 2007 period, offset by a

•

$1.8 million increase in construction loan advances.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with net cash provided during the same period in 2007 of $2.2 million.

The $0.6 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities is primarily the result of:

Increases

•

$34.8 million increase in proceeds from secured notes payable, offset by

Decreases

•

$15.6 million increase in payments on secured credit facilities

•

$15.9 million increase in payments on secured notes payable,

•

$1.9 million increase in payments on early extinguishment of debt,

•

$0.8 million decrease in proceeds from stock options exercised,

•

$0.6 million decrease as a result of repurchasing common stock, and a

•

$0.6 million increase in payment of loan costs.

Dividends and Distributions

Our dividends on common and preferred stock are set quarterly by the Board of Directors and are subject to change or elimination at any time. Our primary financial objective is to maximize long term, risk adjusted returns on investment for common stockholders. While the dividend policy is considered within the context of this objective, maintenance of past dividend levels is not a primary investment objective of the Company and is subject to numerous factors including our profitability, capital expenditure plans, obligations related to principal payments and capitalized interest, and the availability of debt and equity capital at terms deemed attractive by us to finance these expenditures. Further, our Board of Directors has and will continue to consider the downturn in new home sales in the context of its quarterly review and dividend decision. Our net operating loss may be used to offset all or a portion of our REIT taxable income, which may allow us to reduce or eliminate our dividends paid and still maintain our REIT status.

Historically, the combination of dividend payments, capital expenditures, capitalized interest and debt repayment has exceeded funds provided from operating activities, and we have funded a portion of these expenditures from debt financings. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so on terms deemed acceptable in the future. In the event that we are unable to do so or decide not to pursue such financing, we will be required to reduce or eliminate dividends, reduce or eliminate capital expenditures, or both.

The Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the outstanding common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company repurchased 33,000 shares of outstanding common stock and has repurchased a total of approximately 816,000 shares pursuant to this authorization. The Company has and will continue to evaluate this investment opportunity in the context of its primary financial objective to maximize long term, risk adjusted returns on investment for common stockholders.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our principal exposure to market risk is changes in interest rates relating to our various debt instruments and borrowings. As compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007, our exposure to changes in interest rates at March 31, 2008 for repricing and refunding as to unpaid principal balances (i) increased from $175.1 million to $191.0 million for partially amortizing secured notes payable; (ii) increased from $11.4 million to $22.1 million for variable rate secured notes payable; (iii) increased from $14.8 million to $20.2 million for variable rate secured floor plan facility; and (iv) decreased from $5.4 million to $0 million for variable rate secured mortgage credit facility. The following is a discussion of the potential impact of changes in interest rates on our debt instruments at March 31, 2008.

We have $7.8 million of fixed rate, fully amortizing, non-recourse, secured notes payable. We do not have exposure to changing interest rates on these notes as the rates are fixed and the notes are fully amortizing.

We have $228.3 million of fixed rate, partially amortizing, non-recourse, secured notes payable. We do not have significant exposure to changes in interest rates since the interest rates are fixed. We have repricing and refunding risks as to the unpaid balance on these notes of $191.0 million due at maturity between 2013 and 2021, with an average maturity of 8.4 years.

We have $22.1 million interest only, non-recourse, secured notes payable. These variable rate loans bear interest at the three-month LIBOR plus 1.15% and 1.75%, respectively. If LIBOR increased immediately by 1%, then our annual income before minority interest in the Operating Partnership and cash flows

would decrease by $221,000 due to an increase in interest expense based on the outstanding balance at March 31, 2008. We have repricing and refunding risks as to the unpaid balance due at maturity of these notes.

We have a revolving line of credit with a bank that bears interest at 175 basis points over the one-month LIBOR rate. At March 31, 2008, we do not have an outstanding balance under the credit facility. As such, we do not have a refunding or repricing risk related to our revolving line of credit at March 31, 2008.

We have a secured floor plan facility that bears interest at the lender’s prime rate plus 25 basis points. If the lender’s prime rate increased immediately by 1%, then our annual income before minority interest in the Operating Partnership and cash flows would decrease by $202,000 due to an increase in interest expense on this line of credit, based on the approximately $20.2 million outstanding balance at March 31, 2008. We have repricing and refunding risks as to the unpaid balance due at the maturity of this note.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to American Land Lease, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC filings (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to American Land Lease’s management, including our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
