Item 1. Changes in Control of Registrant
--------------------------------
On September 19, 1997, The Windsor Corporation, a general partner of the
Partnership, merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chateau Communities, Inc.,
in which merger The Windsor Corporation remains the general partner of the
Partnership and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chateau. John A. Coseo,
Jr., the individual general partner of the Partnership, remains the individual
general partner. Pursuant to a voting agreement between Mr. Coseo and The
Windsor Corporation, the two general partners make decisions for the Partnership
jointly in accordance with procedures established in the voting agreement which
provide, in the event of a disagreement, for the decision to be based on their
relative percentage interests as general partners in the Partnership (The
Windsor Corporation currently holds 95% and Mr. Coseo 5% of the combined 1%
general partner interest in the Partnership). This agreement will continue in
effect following the merger. Further, in connection with the merger, the
stockholders of The Windsor Corporation (which included Mr. Coseo and members of
his immediate family) received an aggregate of 205,000 shares of Common Stock of
Chateau.
Chateau, previously known as ROC Communities, Inc. until its merger this year
with Chateau Communities, Inc., has been responsible for the day-to-day
management of all the Windsor Communities since 1991.
