General Development of Business

CP Limited Partnership (the "Company") is a Maryland Partnership. Chateau
Communities, Inc. ("Chateau"), a Maryland Corporation, is a self-administered
and self-managed equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") and is one of the
largest owner/managers of manufactured home communities in the United States.
Chateau conducts substantially all of its activities through the Company in
which it owns, directly and through ROC Communities, Inc. ("ROC"), the other
general partner of the Company, an approximate 89% general partner interest.
The Company owns and operates 166 manufactured home community properties (the
"Properties") containing 52,347 homesites and 1,359 park model/RV sites in 28
states. The Company also fee manages 44 manufactured home community properties
containing 9,200 homesites. In addition, the Company is involved in the
development and expansion of manufactured home communities, and through its
subsidiary, Community Sales, Inc. ("CSI"), the sale of new and pre-owned homes,
brokerage of used homes and in assisting residents in arranging financing and
insurance services.

Formation of the Company

The Company was formed by Chateau, as general partner, and Chateau Estates, as
the initial limited partner, on September 16, 1993.

Industry Overview

A manufactured home community is a residential subdivision designed and improved
with homesites for the placement of manufactured homes, including related
improvements and amenities. Manufactured homes are detached, single-family
homes which are produced off-site by manufacturers and installed on sites within
the community. Manufactured homes are available in a variety of architectural
styles and floor plans, offering a variety of amenities, custom options and on-
site built additional structures.

Modern manufactured home communities are similar to typical residential
subdivisions and generally contain centralized entrances, paved streets, curbs
and gutters and parkways. In addition, such communities often provide a variety
of amenities to residents which may include a clubhouse, swimming pools and
jacuzzis, playgrounds, basketball courts, picnic areas, shuffleboard courts,
tennis courts, cable television service, golf courses, marinas and laundry
facilities. Utilities are provided or arranged for by the owner of the
community. Some communities provide water and sewer service through public or
private utilities, while others provide these services to residents from on-site
facilities.

The owner of each home in a manufactured home community leases a site from the
community. The manufactured home community is the owner of 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. Each owner within the manufactured home community
is responsible for the maintenance of his home and leased site. Additionally,
manufactured home communities tend to have stable resident bases, with
relatively few residents moving manufactured homes out of the communities.
Management thus tends to be more stable, and capital expenditures needs less
significant, relative to multi-family rental apartment complexes.

Operating and Investment Strategies

The Company seeks to maximize long-term growth in income and portfolio value
through active management and expansion of certain of its manufactured home
communities and selective acquisition and development of additional communities.
The Company focuses on manufactured home communities that have growth potential
and expects to hold such properties for long-term investment and capital
appreciation. The Company's operating and investment strategies include:

3


Operations
* Providing attractive and desirable manufactured home communities
for existing and prospective residents;

* Maintaining and upgrading communities on a continuous basis through
a program of regular and preventive maintenance and replacement;

* Offering residents accessibility to on-site managers to maximize
retention, encourage home maintenance and improvements and to
minimize turnover;

* Providing frequent personal contact between on-site managers and
residents to foster a sense of pride within the community and to
enhance community desirability;

* Offering potential community residents the convenience of
purchasing a home already in place within the community or ordering
a new home;

* Increasing value to residents by providing additional value-added
services; and

* Assisting potential residents in securing financing and insurance
for their home.

Development, Expansion and Acquisitions

* Utilizing the expertise and relationships developed by the
Company's management to identify new development opportunities;

* Selectively developing new communities in strategically desirable
regions where development is supported by favorable demographics
and strong market demand;

* Capitalizing on opportunities to renovate and expand properties
consistent with local market demand;

* Selectively acquiring well-located manufactured home communities
that demonstrate the potential for increase in revenue and cash
flow through professional property management, improved operating
efficiencies, aggressive leasing and, where appropriate, expansion
on adjacent land; and

* Acquiring properties in existing markets in order to achieve
economies of scale in operations, and in new markets where
portfolios may be acquired with regional management in place.

Financing Strategies

The Company intends to maintain a conservative and flexible capital structure
that enables it to (i) continue to access the capital markets on favorable
terms; (ii) enhance potential earnings growth; (iii) minimize its level of
encumbered assets; and (iv) limit its exposure to variable rate debt. The
Company intends to maintain a debt-to-market capitalization ratio of
approximately 50% or less. The Company, however, may from time to time re-
evaluate this policy and decrease or increase such ratio accordingly in light of
then current economic conditions, relative costs to the Company of debt and
equity capital, market values of the properties and other factors.

Expansion and Improvement of Manufactured Home Community Properties

The Company will seek to increase the income generated from its manufactured
home communities by expanding the number of sites available to be leased to
residents if justified by local market conditions and permitted by zoning and
other applicable laws, and by filling vacant sites. During 2000, the Company
substantially completed the development of 275 expansion sites. As of December
31, 2000, the Company owned undeveloped land adjacent to existing communities
containing approximately 4,600 expansion sites, which are zoned for manufactured
housing. The undeveloped land will facilitate additional growth to the extent
market conditions warrant. In addition, where appropriate, the Company will
consider upgrading or adding facilities and amenities to certain communities in
order to make those communities more attractive in their market.

The Company is currently involved in seven joint ventures to construct ground-up
"greenfield communities". In the majority of the arrangements, the Company acts
as the developer or co-developer, performing all accounting and property
management functions and the Company acts as a lender to finance the development
costs. As such, the Company advances amounts to the joint ventures to fund
construction and recognizes the related interest income as earned. The Company
primarily borrows on its line of credit to fund the advances and, accordingly,
includes the related borrowing costs in interest expense and related debt in its
balance sheet. In the majority of the arrangements, the Company has an option
to purchase the completed community when it reaches a pre-determined occupancy
rate. The Company is also involved in two joint ventures in which its joint
venture partner is constructing the communities. The Company has similar
arrangements to lend these joint ventures funds to finance development. The
Company accounts for joint ventures that it does not control utilizing the
equity method of accounting.

2000 Property Acquisitions

During 2000, the Company completed two acquisitions in Alabama and Georgia of
410 homesites for $4,150,000. In addition, the Company acquired land to be used
for future development for a total of $3,427,000.

Sales Brokerage and Finance


The Company conducts its sales and brokerage activities through CSI, which is
operated as a taxable subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. During 2000, CSI
sold 562 new or pre-owned homes and brokered the sales of 1,201 homes. CSI also
has a Financial Services Division, which arranges financing and insurance
services for prospective residents. During 2000, the Financial Services
Division arranged financing on approximately 770 loans.

Competition

Many of the Properties are located in developed areas that include other
manufactured home communities. The number of competitive manufactured home
community properties in a particular area could have a material effect on the
Company's ability to lease sites at its communities and the rents charged. In
addition, other forms of multi-family residential properties and single-family
housing provide housing alternatives to residents.

Employees

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately 1,200 full-time
employees. The Company utilizes a resident administrator for the on-site
administration of each of the Properties. Important duties of on-site
administrators, as well as the office manager, include extensive contact with
residents through initial introduction to community guidelines and on-going
accessibility for resident assistance. Typically, clerical and maintenance
workers are employed to assist in the management and care of residents and the
properties. Direct supervision of on-site administrators is the responsibility
of the Company's regional vice presidents and managers and four divisional
presidents. These individuals have significant experience in addressing the
needs of residents and in finding or creating innovative approaches to value
maximization and increasing cash flow from property operations. Approximately
90 corporate employees, who assist on-site administrators in all the property
management functions, also support field management staff.

5


Commitment to resident satisfaction is demonstrated by ongoing training that the
Company provides for on-site staff. Community administrators meet periodically
at regional and divisional seminars to review Company philosophy and policy, to
discuss relevant administration issues and solutions and to share ideas and
experiences.


Tax Status

The Company is not liable for Federal income taxes as the partners recognize
their proportionate share of income or loss in their tax returns. Therefore, no
provision for income taxes is included in the Company's financial statements.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Certain statements in this discussion constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Such forward-looking statements may involve the Company's plans,
objectives and expectations, which are dependent upon a number of factors,
including site expansions, acquisitions, development and other new business
initiatives which are all subject to a number of contingency factors such as the
effects of national and local economic conditions, changes in interest rates,
supply and demand for affordable housing and the condition of the capital
markets that may prevent the Company from achieving its objectives.

Item 2. Properties
- ------- ----------

On December 31, 2000, the Properties consisted of 166 manufactured home
communities containing 52,347 homesites and 1,359 park model/RV sites, in 28
states, with amenities designed for either retirement or family living. The
Company also fee managed 44 manufactured home communities containing 9,200 sites
in 16 states. The Company also owned land adjacent to certain existing
communities containing approximately 4,600 expansion sites, which, although not
yet developed, was zoned for manufactured housing.

On December 31, 2000, the Properties had an occupancy rate of approximately 91.1
percent with weighted average rent for the year ended December 31, 2000 of $316
per month. This compares to an occupancy rate of 91.7 percent and weighted
average rent of $302 per month for the prior year. Weighted average rent is
calculated as rental and utility income for the period, on a monthly basis,
divided by the weighted average occupied sites. Weighted average occupancy is
computed by averaging the number of revenue producing sites at the end of each
month in the period.

The Company believes that the Properties provide amenities and common facilities
that create a safe and attractive community for residents. All of the
Properties provide residents with appealing amenities with most offering a
clubhouse, a swimming pool and playgrounds. Many Properties offer additional
amenities such as sauna/whirlpool spas, indoor pools, tennis courts, libraries,
shuffleboard courts, basketball courts, golf courses, day care facilities,
exercise rooms, marinas and laundry facilities.

Since residents own their homes, it is their responsibility to maintain their
homes and surrounding area. The communities have extensive guidelines for
maintenance. It is management's role to provide maintenance of common areas,
facilities and amenities and to ensure that residents comply with community
policies. The Company holds periodic meetings of its property management
personnel for training and implementation of the Company's strategies, and
property administrators make a daily inspection of the properties. The Company
believes that, due in part to this strategy, the Properties historically have
had and will continue to have low turnover and high occupancy rates. Since
1989, the Properties have averaged an annual turnover of homes (where the home
is moved out of the community) of three to four percent.

Leases

The typical lease entered into between the resident and one of the Company's
manufactured home communities for the rental of a site is month-to-month or
year-to-year, renewable upon consent of both parties or, in some instances, as
provided by statute.

Property Information

The Company classifies all its properties in either the Stable Portfolio or the
Active Expansion Portfolio. The Stable Portfolio includes the communities where
the Company does not have, or has not recently had, expansion of the community.
These communities normally have stable occupancy rates. The Active Expansion
are those properties where the Company is currently, or has recently, expanded
the community by adding homesites to the available homesites for rent.
Generally, these communities will have a lower occupancy rate than the Stable
Portfolio as they are in the lease-up phase. In addition, the Company owns
three park model/RV communities.

The following table sets forth certain information, as of December 31, 2000,
regarding the Properties, excluding the three park model/RV communities.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as consolidated net income of the
Company without giving effect to gains (or losses) from debt restructuring
and sales of property and rental property depreciation and amortization.
Management believes that FFO is an important and widely used measure of the
operating performance of REITs, which provides a relevant basis for
comparison among REITs. FFO (i) does not represent cash flow from
operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii)
should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of
operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity. FFO is calculated as follows:

NAREIT has revised its definition of FFO. The Company adopted the new
definition effective January 1, 2000. The new definition of FFO substantially
eliminates the add-back of non-recurring items in the calculation of FFO. The
application of this new definition decreased FFO in 1998 by $375,000, and had no
effect on any other years reported.

Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- ------- -------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Certain statements in this discussion constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Such forward-looking statements may involve the Company's plans,
objectives and expectations, which are dependent upon a number of factors,
including site expansions, acquisitions, development and other new business
initiatives which are all subject to a number of contingency factors such as the
effects of national and local economic conditions, changes in interest rates,
supply and demand for affordable housing and the condition of the capital
markets that may prevent the Company from achieving its objectives.

Overview

The Company is one of the largest owner/managers of manufactured home
communities in the United States. The Company added 8,500 manufactured home
sites to its portfolio over the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. At
the end of this period, the Company's portfolio comprised 166 manufactured home
communities containing 52,347 manufactured homesites and 1,359 park model/RV
sites, located in 28 states.

The Company provides property management services to N'Tandem Trust ("N'Tandem")
and other manufactured home community owners, with an aggregate of 9,200
homesites. In addition, the Company owns approximately ten percent of N'Tandem
outstanding equity, has made loans to N'Tandem and provides advisory services to
N'Tandem Trust.

Company growth since the beginning of 1998 can be attributed to community
acquisitions, increased operating performance at existing communities, community
expansions, and new community development. During 1998, the Company acquired 34
communities in four separate portfolio acquisitions, containing an aggregate of
7,045 manufactured homesites and 1,359 park model/RV sites. During 1999 and
2000, the Company acquired two communities each year, containing a total of
1,034 sites (624 sites in 1999 and 410 sites in 2000).

Weighted average monthly rent per site $ 316 $ 302 $ 316 $ 302


For the year ended December 31, 2000, net income was $48,722,000, an increase of
$3,760,000 from the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was due
primarily to increased net operating income from the Core 1999 Portfolio and
acquisitions. The increase in net operating income from the Company's Core 1999
Portfolio was due to increased occupancy and rental increases partially offset
by general operating expense increases. Rental revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2000 was $186,963,000, an increase of $9,174,000 from 1999.
Approximately 17 percent of the increase was due to acquisitions, net of
dispositions, and 83 percent was due to rental increases and occupancy gains in
the Company's Core 1999 Portfolio.

Weighted average occupancy for the year ended December 31, 2000 was 47,466 sites
compared with 47,181 sites for the same period in 1999. The occupancy rate for
the total portfolio was 91.1 percent on 52,347 sites as of December 31, 2000,
compared to 91.7 percent on 51,659 sites as of December 31, 1999. The occupancy
rate on the stabilized portfolio (communities where the Company does not have or
has not recently had, expansion of the community) was 92.5 percent as of
December 31, 2000. The Company also added 275 available sites to its portfolio
through expansion of its communities. On a per-site basis, weighted monthly
rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $316 compared with $302
for the same period in 1999.

Interest income primarily includes interest on notes receivable and advances to
affiliates. The increase of $3,998,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000
from the same period in 1999 is due primarily to increased interest income from
Company-funded development projects, increased lending activity, as well as an
increase in interest rates.

Management fee and other income primarily includes management fee and
transaction fee income for the management of 44 manufactured home communities
and equity earnings from CSI. Included in this amount is approximately $3.2
million of acquisition and transaction fees due to N'Tandem's acquisitions
activity in 2000. Also included in management fee and other income is
approximately $2.1 million of management and advisory fees from the N'Tandem
properties. The Company expects to continue to earn management, advisory and
other fees from N'Tandem in 2001, and estimates the recurring component of
revenues from N'Tandem and it's properties to stabilize.

Property operating and maintenance expense for the year ended December 31, 2000
increased by $1,343,000 or 2.7 percent from the prior year. The majority of the
increase was due to operating expense increases in the Company's Core 1999
Portfolio, and to a lesser extent, acquisitions. On a per site basis, monthly
weighted average property operating and maintenance expense increased to $91.03
per site, or 2.0 percent.

Real estate taxes for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased by $751,000 or
5.9 percent from the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase is due
primarily to acquisitions, expansions of communities, and increases in property
tax rates. On a per site basis, monthly weighted average real estate taxes were
$23.57 in 2000 compared to $22.39 in 1999, an increase of 5.3 percent. Real
estate taxes may increase or decrease due to inflation, expansions and
improvements of communities, as well as changes in taxation in the tax
jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

15


Administrative expense in 2000 was 5.1 percent of total revenues as compared to
5.2 percent in 1999.

Interest and related amortization costs increased for the year ended December
31, 2000 by $4,082,000, as compared with the year ended December 31, 1999. The
increase is attributed primarily to the indebtedness incurred to finance
acquisitions, development, and lending activities. Interest expense as a
percentage of average debt outstanding decreased to approximately 7.3 percent in
2000 from 7.4 percent in 1999.

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased $2,094,000
from the same period a year ago. The increase is directly attributed to
acquisitions, expansions, and additions. Depreciation expense as a percentage
of average depreciable rental property in 2000 remained relatively unchanged
from 1999.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 1999 to the year ended December 31,
1998

The following table summarizes certain information relative to the Company's
properties, as of and for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The
Company considers all communities owned by the Company as of January 1, 1998 as
the "Core 1998 Portfolio".

For the year ended December 31, 1999, net income was $44,962,000, an increase of
$10,476,000 from the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was due
primarily to acquisitions and increased net operating income from the Core 1998
Portfolio. The increase in net operating income from the Company's Core 1998
Portfolio was due to increased occupancy and rental increases partially offset
by general operating expense increases. Rental revenue for the year ended
December 31, 1999 was $177,789,000, an increase of $10,583,000 from 1998.
Approximately 30 percent of the increase was due to acquisitions, net of
dispositions, and 70 percent was due to rental increases and occupancy gains in
the Company's Core 1998 Portfolio.

Weighted average occupancy for the year ended December 31, 1999 was 47,181 sites
compared with 45,882 sites for the same period in 1998. The Company also added
525 available sites to its portfolio through the expansion of its communities.
The occupancy rate for the total portfolio was 91.7 percent on 51,659 sites as
of December 31, 1999, compared to 92.4 percent on 51,101 sites as of December
31, 1998. The occupancy rate on the stabilized portfolio was 93.2 percent as of
December 31, 1999. On a per site basis, weighted average monthly rental revenue
for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $302 compared with $292 for the same
period in 1998. For the Company's Core 1998 Portfolio, on a per site basis,
weighted average monthly rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 was
$307 compared with $295 for the same period in 1998, an increase of 4.0 percent.

Interest income primarily includes interest on notes receivable and advances to
joint ventures affiliates. The increase of $3,115,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 from the same period in 1998 is due primarily to increased
interest income from Company-funded development projects, as well as increases
in interest rates.

16


Management fee and other income primarily include management fee and transaction
fee income for the management of 44 manufactured home communities, and equity
earnings from CSI. The increase in 1999 from 1998 is due primarily to increased
development activities in which the Company funds the development costs and
recognizes interest income and expenses and increased equity earnings from CSI.

Property operating and maintenance expense for the year ended December 31, 1999
increased by $3,412,000 or 7.3 percent from the same period a year ago. The
majority of the increase was due to increases in the Company's Core 1998
Portfolio, and to a lesser extent, acquisitions. On a per site basis, monthly
weighted average property operating and maintenance expense increased to $89.21
per site, or 4.3 percent.

Real estate taxes for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased by $424,000 or
3.5 percent from the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase is due
primarily to acquisitions and expansions of communities and general increases.
On a site basis, monthly weighted average real estate taxes were $22.39 in 1999
compared to $22.25 in 1998, an increase of .63 percent. Real estate taxes may
increase or decrease due to inflation, expansions and improvements of
communities, as well as changes in tax rates in the tax jurisdictions in which
the Company operates.

Administrative expense in 1999 was 5.2 percent of total revenues as compared to
4.8 percent in 1998.

Interest and related amortization costs for the year ended December 31, 1999
increased by $1,031,000, as compared with the year ended December 31, 1998. The
increase is attributed primarily to the indebtedness incurred to finance
acquisitions and development. Interest expense as a percentage of average debt
outstanding decreased to approximately 7.4 percent for 1999 from 7.7 percent in
1998.

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 1999, increased $2,168,000
from the same period a year ago. The increase is directly attributed to
acquisitions and expansions. Depreciation expense as a percentage of average
depreciable rental property in 1999 remained relatively unchanged from 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $84,961,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000, compared to $77,464,000 for the same period in 1999. The
increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the
increase in net operating income.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 was
$73,123,000. This amount represents acquisitions, joint venture investments and
advances, lending activity, capital expenditures and development costs. During
2000, the Company acquired two communities with a total of 410 sites and
purchased development properties in Michigan and Iowa. These acquisitions were
financed primarily by borrowings under the Company's lines of credit.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 was
$12,087,000. This consisted primarily of $81,534,000 in distributions paid to
OP Unitholders, $214,997,000 in payment of debt, and repurchasing approximately
$11.3 million of common OP Units, offset partially by proceeds from debt
issuances of $295,295,000.

During 2000, the Company invested approximately $10,100,000 in the expansion of
its existing communities, resulting in the addition of 275 available sites to
its portfolio. In addition, during 2000, the Company invested or advanced
$22,000,000 to certain affiliates of the Company. This consisted primarily of
approximately $5,500,000 to joint ventures, through which the Company, or its
joint venture partner is developing manufactured home communities, and
$13,800,000 to N'Tandem, an entity in which the Company owns approximately 10
percent of its outstanding equity and has made loans aggregating $38,466,000 as
of December 31, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, recurring property
capital expenditures, other than development costs, were approximately
$7,400,000. Capital expenditures have historically been financed out of
operating cash flow and it is the Company's intention that such future
expenditures will also be financed out of operating cash flow.

17


At December 31, 2000, the Company had a $100 million line of credit arrangement
with BankOne, NA acting as lead agent for a bank group to provide financing for
future construction, acquisitions and general business obligations (the "BankOne
Credit Facility"). The line of credit is unsecured, bears interest at the prime
rate of interest or, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus 80 basis points. The
line was scheduled to mature in 2001. In February 2001, the Company
renegotiated the BankOne Credit Facility and increased it from $100 million to
$125 million. The term of the new facility is three years and bears interest at
LIBOR plus 90 basis points. In addition, the Company has a $7.5 million
unsecured line of credit from US Bank, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR
plus 125 basis points and matures in October 2001 (the "US Bank Facility" and,
together with the BankOne Credit Facility the "Credit Facilities"). As of
December 31, 2000, approximately $74.7 million was outstanding under the
Company's Credit Facilities and the Company had $32.8 million available in
additional borrowing capacity, which was increased to approximately $57.8
million in available capacity with the February 2001 expansion of the BankOne
Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had outstanding, in addition to the Credit
Facilities, $320 million of unsecured senior debt with a weighted average
interest rate and remaining maturity of 7.5 percent and 3.7 years, respectively,
and $136.9 million of secured mortgage debt with a weighted average interest
rate and remaining maturity of 7.8 percent and 8.9 years, respectively. As of
December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $535 million of total debt
outstanding, representing approximately 34 percent of the Company's total market
capitalization. All of the debt is fixed rate debt, other than the Company's
Credit Facilities, and has a weighted average interest rate of 7.6 percent.

In June 2000, the Company issued $116 million of 7.8% fixed rate mortgage debt,
maturing in 2010, and collateralized by seven properties. Also in 2000, the
Company issued a total of $150 million of Unsecured Senior Notes, $100 million
at 8.3% maturing March 1, 2005 and $50 million at 8% maturing August 1, 2003,
resulting in net proceeds of $149 million. During 2000, the Company issued and
repaid a $30 million unsecured short-term loan.

On February 29, 2000, Chateau announced the establishment of a share repurchase
program pursuant to which it may repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common
stock from time to time. As of December 31, 2000, Chateau repurchased 453,900
shares for approximately $11.3 million.

In addition to repayment of long-term borrowings and amounts outstanding under
the Credit Facilities, future acquisitions of communities and land for
development and new community development activities represent the principal
long-term liquidity needs of the Company. The Company does not expect to
generate sufficient funds from operations to finance these long-term liquidity
needs and instead intends to meet its long-term liquidity requirements through
additional borrowing under the Credit Facilities or other lines of credit, the
assumption of existing secured or unsecured indebtedness and, depending on
market conditions and capital availability factors, the issuance of additional
equity or debt securities.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements, including
expansion activities and capital expenditure requirements, through cash flow
from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under the Credit Facilities and
other lines of credit.

Inflation

All of the leases or terms of tenants' occupancies at the communities allow for
at least annual rental adjustments. In addition, all leases are short-term
(generally one year or less) and enable the Company to seek market rentals upon
reletting the sites. Such leases generally minimize the risk to the Company of
any adverse effect of inflation.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
for hedging activities. This new standard requires that all companies record
derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair
value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and
whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. In June 1999, FASB issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of
the

18


Effective Date of SFAS No. 133-an amendment of SFAS No. 133." SFAS No. 137
defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000.

In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138,"Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133". This statement amends certain requirements of SFAS 133. The Company will
prospectively adopt SFAS No. 138 on January 1, 2001, the required date of
adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 138 will not have a material impact on the
financial statements of the Company, but will result in the reclassification of
certain deferred gains and losses to accumulated other comprehensive income.

In 2000, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101 released by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, entitled "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements". SAB 101 establishes guidelines in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to the recognition of revenue in financial
statements based on specific criteria. The adoption of SAB 101 had no material
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Other

Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as consolidated net income of the Company
without giving effect to gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of
property and rental property depreciation and amortization. Management believes
that FFO is an important and widely used measure of the operating performance of
REITs, which provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. FFO (i) does
not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net
income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO is calculated as follows:

=========== ============ ============ ============ ============


NAREIT has revised its definition of FFO. The Company adopted the new
definition effective January 1, 2000. The new definition of FFO substantially
eliminates the add-back of the non-recurring items in the calculation of FFO.
The application of this new definition decreased FFO in 1998 by $375,000, and
had no effect on any other years reported.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------

The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Management
has and will continue to manage interest rate risk by (1) maintaining a
conservative ratio of fixed-rate, long-term debt to total debt such that
variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level and (2) taking advantage
of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity. As of December
31, 2000, the Company's Credit Facilities represented its only variable rate
debt.

19


The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2000, concerning
the Company's debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled
maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value ("FV"):



For the Year Ended December 31,
2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Thereafter Total FV

Debt obligations
Fixed rate $ 1,320 $ 1,842 $ 121,483 $ 103,338 $ 107,947 $ 120,969 $ 456,899 $ 454,079
Average interest rate 7.9% 7.9% 7.7% 6.8% 8.5% 7.8% 7.6%
Variable rate $ 74,730 $ 74,730 $ 74,730
Average interest rate 7.5%
Total debt $ 76,050 $ 1,842 $ 121,483 $ 103,338 $ 107,947 $ 120,969 $ 531,629 $ 528,809


The Company faces market risk relating to its fixed-rate debt upon re-financing
of such debt and depending upon prevailing interest rates at the time of such
re-finance. As a result of the Company's successful re-financing and extension
of its fixed-rate debt, as illustrated in the above chart, it will not need to
re-finance any of its fixed-rate debt until 2003.

In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its variable rate debt
and believes that a 1% increase in LIBOR rates would result in an approximate
$747,000 increase in interest expense based on $74.7 million of variable rate
debt outstanding at December 31, 2000.

The fair value of the Company's long term debt is estimated based on discounted
cash flows at interest rates that management believes reflects the risks
associated with long term debt of similar risk and duration.

CP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

______

1. Organization and Formation of Company:
-------------------------------------

CP Limited Partnership (the "Company") is a limited partnership and was formed
by Chateau Communities, Inc. ("Chateau"), a real estate investment trust, as
general partner and Chateau Estates, as the initial limited partner, on
September 16, 1993. In 1997, the Company merged with ROC Communities, Inc.
("ROC").

The Company considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment. The
Company is engaged in the business of owning and operating manufactured housing
community properties. As of December 31, 2000, the Company owned 166 properties
containing an aggregate of 52,347 homesites and 1,359 park model/RV sites,
located in 28 states. Approximately 31 percent of these homesites were in
Michigan and 25 percent were in Florida. The Company also fee managed 44
properties containing an aggregate of 9,200 homesites. A manufactured housing
community is real estate designed and improved with sites for placement of
manufactured homes. The owner of the home leases the site from the Company,
generally for a term of one year of less.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
------------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include all
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Chateau and ROC are general
partners. As of December 21, 2000, Chateau owned on a combined basis, an 89
percent general partner interest. Pursuant to the terms of the operating
partnership agreement, the Company is required to reimburse Chateau for the net
expenses incurred by Chateau. Amounts paid on behalf of Chateau by the Company
are reflected in the statement of income as general and administrative expenses.
The balance sheet of Chateau as of December 31, 2000 is identical to the
accompany balance sheet of the Company, except as follows:

All significant inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

The Company conducts manufactured home sales and brokerage activities through
its taxable subsidiary Community Sales, Inc. ("CSI"). The Company owns 100% of
the preferred stock of CSI and is entitled to 100% of its cash flow.

26


CP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

______

The Company accounts for its investment in CSI utilizing the equity method of
accounting, since the Company does not own any of the voting common stock of
this entity.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized when earned and due from residents. The leases
entered into by residents for the rental of a site are generally for terms not
longer than one year and are renewable upon the consent of both parties or, in
some instances, as provided by statute. Rent received in advance is deferred
and recognized in income when earned.

Income Taxes

The Company is not liable for Federal income taxes as the partners recognize
their proportionate share of income or loss in their tax returns. Therefore, no
provision for income taxes is included in the Company's financial statements.

Rental Property

Rental property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Management
evaluates the recoverability of its investment in rental property whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that full asset recoverability is
questionable. Management's assessment of the recoverability of its rental
property includes, but is not limited to, recent operating results, expected net
operating cash flow and management's plans for future operations. If a rental
property is determined to be significantly impaired, the asset is written down
to its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999
there were no impairment conditions at any of the Company's properties.

Depreciation

Depreciation on manufactured home communities is computed primarily on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The
estimated useful lives of the various classes of rental property assets are
primarily as follows:

Estimated Useful
Class of Asset Lives (Years)
- -------------- -----------------

Manufactured home community improvements 20 to 30
Community buildings 25 to 30
Furniture and other equipment 3 to 10

Maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements to rental properties are expensed
when incurred. Major improvements and renewals are capitalized. When rental
property assets are sold or otherwise retired, the cost of such assets, net of
accumulated depreciation, compared to the sales proceeds, are recognized in
income as gains or losses on disposition.

Capitalized Interest

Interest is capitalized on development projects during periods of construction
through the substantial completion of the site. Interest capitalized by the
Company for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, was $1,646,000,
$1,249,000, and $579,000 respectively.

Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less
are considered to be cash equivalents.

27


CP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

______

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs incurred to obtain financing and costs of interest rate protection are
deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the
effective interest method, over the term of the related loans or agreements.
These costs, net of accumulated amortization, are included in prepaid expenses
and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company's financial instruments other than debt
approximate their carrying values at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The fair value
of the Company's debt at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was estimated to be $533
million and $447 million, respectively, based on current interest rates for
comparable loans.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles involves the use of certain management estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year information to
conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no
impact on net operating results previously reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
for hedging activities. This new standard requires that all companies record
derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair
value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and
whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. In June 1999, FASB issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of
the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133-an amendment of SFAS No. 133." SFAS No. 137
defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000.

In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138,"Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133". This statement amends certain requirements of SFAS 133. The Company will
prospectively adopt SFAS No. 138 on January 1, 2001, the required date of
adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 138 will not have a material impact on the
financial statements of the Company, but will result in the reclassification of
certain deferred gains and losses to accumulated other comprehensive income.

In 2000, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101 released by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, entitled "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements." SAB 101 establishes guidelines in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to the recognition of revenue in financial
statements based on specific criteria. The adoption of SAB 101 had no material
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

3. Capital Transactions:
-----------------------

On February 29, 2000, Chateau announced the establishment of a share repurchase
program pursuant to which it may repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common
stock from time to time. As of December 31, 2000, Chateau repurchased 453,900
shares for approximately $11.3 million.

The following table represents the changes in the Company's outstanding common

earned. The Company primarily borrows on its line of credit to fund the
advances and, accordingly, includes the related borrowing costs in interest
expense and related debt in its balance sheet. In the majority of the
arrangements, the Company has the option to purchase the completed community
when it reaches a pre-determined occupancy rate. The Company is also involved
in two joint ventures in which its joint venture partner is constructing the
communities. The Company has similar arrangements to lend these joint ventures
funds to finance development. The Company accounts for its joint ventures which
it does not control utilizing the equity method of accounting.

N'Tandem

million for the right to remarket the securities in 2004. The remarketing fee
is being amortized over the life of the related debt. Upon the remarketing
dealer's election to remarket the MOPPRSsm, the interest rate to the December
10, 2014 maturity date of the MOPPRSsm will be adjusted to equal the sum of
5.75% plus the Applicable Spread (as defined in the remarketing agreement). In
the event the remarketing dealer does not elect to remarket the MOPPRSsm, the
MOPPRSsm will mature in 2004.

As of December 31, 2000 the Company has a total of 15 collateralized properties.

management. Company contributions are allocated to each participant based on
the relative compensation of the participant to the compensation of all
participants. The Company contributed approximately $500,000, $560,000, and
