Item 2.02   Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 2, 2006, Affordable Residential Communities Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the Company’s results of operations for the second quarter of 2006. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference and all references and descriptions to the Press Release are qualified in their entirety by the terms of that release. On August 2, 2006, the Company also released its Second Quarter 2006 Earnings Release and Supplemental Operating and Financial Data (the “Supplemental Presentation”), upon which the data contained in the Press Release is in part based. The Supplemental Presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference and all references and descriptions to the data are qualified in their entirety by the terms of that data.

The Press Release and Supplemental Presentation contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements contained therein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, statements about the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: general risks affecting the real estate industry; the Company’s ability to maintain or increase rental rates and occupancy with respect to properties currently owned; the Company’s assumptions on rental home and home sales and financing activity; completion of pending acquisitions and sales, if any, and timing with respect thereto; the Company’s growth and expansion into new markets or successful integration of acquisitions; and the effect of interest rates. Additional factors that could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K (included under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements”), and in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available at the SEC’s internet site (http://www.sec.gov). The forward-looking statements contained in the Press Release and Supplemental Presentation speak only as of the date thereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
