NOTE 1.  THE PARTNERSHIP
         ---------------

Windsor Park Properties 4, A California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"),
was formed in June 1986 for the purpose of acquiring and holding existing
manufactured home communities for investment. The General Partners of the
Partnership are The Windsor Corporation, a California corporation ("TWC"), and
John A. Coseo, Jr. (together with TWC, the "General Partners"). In September
1997, Chateau Communities, Inc., a publicly held real estate investment trust
("Chateau"), purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of TWC.

The Partnership was funded through a public offering of 200,000 limited
partnership units at $100 per unit, which commenced in September 1986 and
terminated in September 1987.

In accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership, the term
of the Partnership expired on December 31, 1997 and, unless the term of the
Partnership was extended, the General Partners were obligated to take actions to
liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of
1997, the General Partners began to develop a plan to liquidate the Partnership.
The first phase of such plan of liquidation involved the Partnership's marketing
of its Sunrise Village property, a wholly-owned property, and Harmony Ranch
property, a partially-owned property, for sale. As a result, the Partnership
sold the Sunrise Village property for approximately $1.7 million to a third
party in May 1998. The second phase of such plan of liquidation involved the
sale by the Partnership of its remaining assets not sold to third parties to
N'Tandem Trust, an externally-advised California business trust in which
Chateau, as of March 31, 2000, held 9.8% of the outstanding common and preferred
shares ("N'Tandem").

The transaction with N'Tandem contemplated the sale by the Partnership of its
single remaining wholly-owned property and its six partially-owned properties
(together, the "Remaining Assets") to N'Tandem. The consummation of the
transaction was subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the
approval of a majority of the Partnership's Limited Partners. On June 30, 1999,
the transaction was approved and consented to by a majority of the Limited
Partners.

The aggregate purchase price paid for the Remaining Assets was $11,871,750 and
the net proceeds received by the Partnership were $8,382,200. The Partnership
recorded a gain on sale of $3,687,900. On July 15, 1999, the Partnership
distributed cash of $8,430,000 to the Limited and General Partners. Pursuant to
the plan of liquidation, the General Partners are currently in the process of
liquidating and dissolving the Partnership. The remaining cash will be used for
final expenses of the Partnership and a final distribution to the partners.

NOTE 4.  BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT
         --------------------------------------------------------------

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per limited partnership unit is calculated
based on the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding
during the period and the net income (loss) allocated to the Limited Partners.
The weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 195,266.

NOTE 5.  DISTRIBUTIONS TO LIMITED PARTNERS
         ---------------------------------

Distributions to Limited Partners in excess of net income allocated to Limited
Partners are considered a return of capital. There were no distributions to
limited partners during the first quarter of 2000 due to the pending dissolution
of the Partnership which will result in the payment of final liquidating
distributions to Limited Partners. A breakdown of cash distributions to Limited
Partners for the three months ended March 31, 1999 follows:

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.

Expiration of Term of Partnership
- ---------------------------------

In accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership, the term
of the Partnership expired on December 31, 1997 and, unless the term of the
Partnership was extended, the General Partners were obligated to take actions to
liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of
1997, the General Partners began to develop a plan to liquidate the Partnership.
The first phase of such plan of liquidation involved the Partnership's marketing
of its Sunrise Village property, a wholly-owned property, and Harmony Ranch
property, a partially-owned property, for sale. As a result, the Partnership
sold the Sunrise Village property for approximately $1.7 million to a third
party in May 1998. The second phase of such plan of liquidation involved the
sale by the Partnership of its remaining assets not sold to third parties to
N'Tandem Trust, an externally-advised California business trust in which
Chateau, as of March 31, 2000, held 9.8% of the outstanding common and preferred
shares ("N'Tandem").

The transaction with N'Tandem contemplated the sale by the Partnership of its
single remaining wholly-owned property and its six partially-owned properties
(together, the "Remaining Assets") to N'Tandem. The consummation of the
transaction was subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the
approval of a majority of the Partnership's Limited Partners. On June 30, 1999,
the transaction was approved and consented to by a majority of the Limited
Partners.

The aggregate purchase price paid for the Remaining Assets was $11,871,750 and
the net proceeds received by the Partnership were $8,382,200. The Partnership
recorded a gain on sale of $3,687,900. On July 15, 1999, the Partnership
distributed cash of $8,430,000 to the Limited and General Partners. Pursuant to
the plan of liquidation, the General Partners are currently in the process of
liquidating and dissolving the Partnership. The remaining cash will be used for
final expenses of the Partnership and a final distribution to the partners.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are
not directly comparable due to the sale of the Remaining Assets on June 30,
1999. The Partnership recognized a net loss of $5,100 and net income of $76,400
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net income
(loss) per limited partnership unit was ($0.03) in 2000 and $0.39 in 1999.

General and administrative expense decreased from $20,800 in 1999 to $7,000 in
2000 due to the sale of the Remaining Assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Partnership's principal source of liquidity during the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was its cash from the sale of its Remaining Assets. The primary
use of its capital resources during the same period was for partnership
operating expenses. At March 31, 2000, the Partnership's cash amounted to
$148,000.

                                     PART II
                                     -------

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

     On May 10, 1999, Ira Gaines, a limited partner of the Partnership, filed a
purported class action and derivative complaint (the "Complaint"), on behalf of
himself and other similarly situated limited partners, against the General
Partners, in their capacity as the general partners of the Partnership, and the
Directors and the President of TWC, in the Superior Court of the State of
California, County of San Diego. The Complaint asserted causes of action arising
out of the Partnership's sale of its Remaining Assets to N'Tandem and alleges
the following: (i) wrongful failure to liquidate timely the Partnership in that
its term expired on December 31, 1997, thus allegedly tying up the limited
partners' money for longer than was contemplated or allowed under the agreement
of limited partnership of the Partnership; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty owed by
the defendants to the Partnership and its limited partners by allegedly failing
to take steps to assure the entire fairness of the transaction and that the
selling prices for the Partnership's assets fairly and adequately represented
their present value; and (iii) breach of the agreement of limited partnership by
allegedly proposing to sell partnership assets to a sponsor of the Partnership
without prior consent of the limited partners.

On December 3, 1999, Mr. Gaines, also a limited partner of Windsor Park
Properties 3, A California Limited Partnership ("Windsor 3") and Windsor Park
Properties 6, a California Limited Partnership ("Windsor 6"), amended the
Complaint, in response to the Proposed Transactions of the Partnership and
similar transactions separately proposed with respect to Windsor 3 and Windsor
6, by filing an amended purported class action and derivative complaint (the
"Amended Complaint") in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of
San Diego, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated limited partners,
against the General Partners, in their capacity as the general partners of the
Partnership, Windsor 3, and Windsor 6, and the Directors and the President of
TWC. In addition to the original allegations set forth in the Complaint
concerning the Partnership, the Amended Complaint also alleges generally breach
of fiduciary duty and contractual duties owed by the defendants to Windsor 3 and
Windsor 6 and their limited partners by allegedly failing to take steps to
ensure the entire fairness of the transactions by proposing to sell such
partnerships' assets at prices that were improperly discounted from their
appraised values and without taking steps to seek out alternative purchasers or
otherwise maximize value to the limited partners. The Complaint and the Amended
Complaint both sought monetary damages, an award of expenses, dissolution of the
Partnership, and the appointment of an independent liquidating trustee to
liquidate the Partnership's assets.

Although the General Partners dispute each claim set forth in the Complaint and
Amended Complaint, they concluded that the further defense of this action would
be protracted, expensive and distracting to their operations. To that end, on
February 17, 2000, the General Partners executed a settlement agreement with Mr.
Gaines and the class he sought to represent providing for the total payment by
the defendants of more than $1 million, plus the costs of administering the
settlement fund (including the mailing of notice to class members), in return
for releases from all actual and potential claims concerning the management or
operation of the Partnership, Windsor 3 and Windsor 6 against all of the
defendants and any affiliated persons or entities. On May 2, 2000, the Superior
Court approved the settlement and entered a Final Order and Judgment discharging
all claims and enjoining the class from commencing suit at any time on any claim
related to the operation or management of the Partnership, Windsor 3 and Windsor
6. In connection with the settlement, the Court awarded plaintiffs' counsel
one-third of the aggregate settlement amount as attorney's fees, plus expenses.
As a result, the General Partners estimate that those Limited Partners who did
not elect to exclude themselves from the class will receive, after payment of
estimated attorney's fees and expenses to plaintiffs' counsel, an amount of
approximately $.74 per unit of limited partner interest.
