                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND FORMATION OF COMPANY:

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
    Chateau Communities, Inc. (the "Company"), a Real Estate Investment Trust
    (REIT), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
    Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
    include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
    accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
    management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
    have been included, and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
    The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited
    consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
    required by generally accepted accounting principles. For further
    information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
    thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
    ended December 31, 1996.

    On November 23, 1993, the Company completed a public offering of 5,700,000
    shares of $.01 par value common stock (the "Equity Offering").
    Simultaneous with the Equity Offering, the Company contributed the net
    proceeds from the Equity Offering and was admitted as the sole general
    partner in an operating partnership (the "Operating Partnership")
    representing the successor owner of manufactured housing community
    properties.  As a result of the Company's unilateral control and complete
    responsibility for management of the Operating Partnership as the sole
    general partner, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts
    of Chateau Communities, Inc. and the Operating Partnership.  All
    significant inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in
    consolidation.

2.  MERGER WITH ROC COMMUNITIES, INC.

    In February 1997, the Company completed its merger with ROC Communities,
    Inc. (the "Merger"). The Merger and related transactions were accounted for
    using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of
    ROC were adjusted to fair value for financial accounting purposes and the
    results of operations of ROC are included in the results of operations of
    the Company beginning February 1, 1997.

    In connection with the Merger, the following related transactions occurred:

    -    The Company repurchased and retired 1,200,000 shares of its common
         stock in late 1996 and early 1997.

    -    ROC purchased 350,000 shares of Chateau common stock, which were
         retired at the time of the Merger.

    -    The Company issued 1.042 shares of its common stock for each 1.0 share
         of ROC capital stock outstanding.


                                          4

    -    The Company paid a stock dividend equal to .0326 shares of its common
         stock per common share/OP Unit outstanding.

    -    Certain OP Unitholders converted 6,170,908 OP Units into common
         shares.  These Unitholders waived their right to receive the above
         dividend and agreed to the re-allocation to the existing shareholders
         resulting in an effective distribution to the common shareholders of
         .068 shares of common stock.

    -    Certain OP Unitholders purchased 984,423 additional shares of common
         stock from the Company at $25.88 per share.

In connection with the Merger, the Company issued common stock valued at
approximately $351 million, including the costs incurred to complete the Merger,
which was allocated as follows:

Rental property                             $    501.3
Net working capital                               15.8
Debt assumed                                    (166.1)
                                            ----------
                                            $    351.0
                                            ----------
                                            ----------

As of June 30, 1997, the Company owned 128 communities with an aggregate 42,986
residential homesites. In addition, it fee manages 6,953 residential homesites
in 34 communities.

The following unaudited pro forma income statement information has been prepared
as if the Merger and related transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996.  In
addition, the pro forma information is presented as if the acquisition of 13
properties made in 1996 by the Company and ROC had occurred on January 1, 1996.
The pro forma income statement information is not necessarily indicative of the
results which actually would have occurred if the Merger had been consummated on
January 1, 1996.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of interim results of operations and
financial condition covers the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto included in this report.  Certain statements in
this report constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act").  Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors  which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
of the Company or industry results to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

On February 11, 1997, the Company completed its merger ("the "Merger") with ROC
Communities, Inc. ("ROC"). The historical results for the six months ended June1
30, 1997 include the results of operations of ROC for five months.

HISTORICAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996

For the three months ended June 30, 1997, income before minority interest was
$6,123,000, an increase of $2,524,000 from the three months ended June 30, 1996.
The increase was due primarily to the Merger, as well as acquisitions that were
consummated in 1997 and 1996 by the Company or ROC, and increased net operating
income from communities owned by the Company and ROC on January 1, 1996 (the
"Core 1996 Portfolio").  The increase in net operating income from the Company's
Core 1996 Portfolio was due to increased occupancy and rental increases
partially offset by general operating expense increases.

Rental revenue in the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $34,817,000, an
increase of $18,021,000 from the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Approximately 81 percent of the increase was due to the Merger, and 13 percent
was due to 1997 and 1996 acquisitions made by the Company or ROC.  The remaining
6 percent increase was due to rental increases and occupancy gains of the
Company's Core 1996 Portfolio.  Management fee, interest and other income
increased approximately $750,000 in 1997 from 1996, due to the Merger and the
increase in income from the Company's sales subsidiary.

Property operating and maintenance expense for the three months ended June 30,
1997 increased by $4,791,000 or 97 percent from the same period a year ago.  The
majority of the increase was due to the Merger and 1997 and 1996 acquisitions.
The remaining increase was due to increases in the Company's Core 1996
Portfolio.

Real estate taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased by
$1,375,000 or 116 percent from the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The
increase is due primarily to the Merger, acquisitions and expansions of
communities and general increases.  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.

Administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased due to
the Merger.  Administrative expense in 1997 was 5.7 percent of revenues as
compared to 5.9 percent in 1996.

Interest and related amortization costs increased for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 by $3,467,000, as compared with the three months ended June 30,
1996.  The increase is attributable to the indebtedness incurred in connection
with the Merger and to finance the 1997 and 1996 acquisitions.  Interest expense
as a percentage of average debt outstanding decreased to approximately 7.7
percent in 1997 from approximately 8.8 percent in 1996.  The decrease is due
primarily to the ROC debt assumed in the Merger having a lower average interest
rate as well as much of the financing in connection with the Merger and the 1997
and 1996 acquisitions being done with the Company's lines of credit which have a
lower average interest rate.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased
$5,588,000 from the same period a year ago.  The increase is directly
attributable to the Merger.  Depreciation expense as a percentage of average
depreciable rental property in 1997 remained relatively unchanged from 1996.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, income before minority interest was
$11,710,000, an increase of $3,790,000 from the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The increase was due primarily to the Merger, as well as acquisitions that were
consummated in 1997 and 1996 by the Company or ROC, and increased net operating
income from the Core 1996 Portfolio.  The increase in net operating income from
the Company's Core 1996 Portfolio was due to increased occupancy and rental
increases partially offset by general operating expense increases.

Rental revenue in the first half 1997 was $63,725,000, an increase of
$30,579,000 from first half 1996.  Approximately 77 percent of the increase was
due to the Merger, and 12 percent was due to 1997 and 1996 acquisitions made by
the Company or ROC.  The remaining 11 percent increase was due to rental
increases and occupancy gains of the Company's Core 1996 Portfolio.  Management
fee, interest and other income increased approximately $1,177,000 in 1997 from
1996, due to the Merger and the increase in income from the Company's sales
subsidiary.

Property operating and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30,
1997 increased by $8,746,000 or 97 percent from the same period a year ago.  The
majority of the increase was due to the Merger and 1997 and 1996 acquisitions.
The remaining increase was due to increases in the Company's Core 1996
Portfolio.

Real estate taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased by
$2,319,000 or 98 percent from the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase
is due primarily to the Merger, acquisitions and expansions of communities and
general increases.  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.

Administrative expense for the first half of 1997 increased due to the Merger.
Administrative expense in 1997 was 5.5 percent of revenues as compared to 6.1
percent in 1996.

Interest and related amortization costs increased for the six months ended June
30, 1997 by $5,852,000, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The increase is attributable to the indebtedness incurred in connection with the
Merger and to finance the 1997 and 1996 acquisitions.  Interest expense as a
percentage of average debt outstanding decreased to approximately 7.6 percent in
1997 from approximately 8.9 percent in 1996.  The decrease is due primarily to
the ROC debt assumed in the Merger having a lower average interest rate as well
as much of the financing in connection with the Company's Merger and the 1997
and 1996 acquisitions being done with the Company's lines of credit which have a
lower average interest rate.

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased
$9,497,000 from the same period a year ago.  The increase is directly
attributable to the Merger.  Depreciation expense as a percentage of average
depreciable rental property in 1997 remained relatively unchanged from 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19,979,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared to $13,449,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily
to the increase in net operating income.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$700,000.  Use of cash included distributions made to shareholders/OP
Unitholders of $17,878,000; net borrowings on the lines of credit of $10,710,000
and the payment of $19,851,000 to repurchase and retire 750,000 shares of the
Company's common stock in connection with the Merger.  The shares were
repurchased in February 1997 at an average price of approximately $26.47 per
share.  This use of cash was offset partially by proceeds of $25,477,000 from
the issuance of 984,423 shares of the Company's common stock at approximately
$25.88 per share.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six month ended June 30, 1997 was
$19,707,000.  This amount represented joint venture investments, acquisitions,
capital expenditures and construction and development costs.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1997, construction and development costs, including joint
ventures, were approximately $4,000,000, while recurring property capital
expenditures, other than construction and development costs, were approximately
$1,000,000.  Recurring property capital expenditures in 1997 increased due to
the Merger.  Capital expenditures have historically been financed with funds
from operations and it is the Company's intention that such future expenditures
will be financed with funds from operations.

Future acquisitions of communities and land for development of sites will be
financed through borrowings on the line of credit, the issuance of additional
equity or debt securities, assumption of existing secured or unsecured
indebtedness or the issuance of OP units.  The development of expansion sites
will be financed primarily by cash flow from operations and borrowings on the
line of credit.  At June 30, the Company had two available credit facilities
aggregating $100 million, each of which is unsecured and bears interest at 150
basis points over LIBOR.  As of June 30, 1997, there was $81.5 million
outstanding under the lines of credit.

In July 1997, the Company renegotiated its existing lines of credit and
consolidated them into one line for $75 million which also includes a term loan
for $25 million.  The line of credit has First Chicago/NBD acting as lead agent,
is unsecured and bears interest at 110 basis points over LIBOR.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through cash
flow from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under its line of credit.

The Company anticipates meeting its long-term liquidity requirements from
borrowings under its line of credit, from the issuance of additional debt or
equity securities and cash flows from operations.

OTHER

Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income excluding gains (or losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of property plus 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:

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Three separate purported class actions have been filed against the Company and
its directors in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland alleging
breaches of fiduciary duty for agreeing to the Merger with ROC and refusing to
endorse alternative transactions proposed by Manufactured Home Communities, Inc.
or Sun Communities, Inc.  The three class actions are entitled HARBOR FINANCE
PARTNERS V. CHATEAU PROPERTIES, et al. (Case No. 157467), NILES V. CHATEAU
PROPERTIES, ET AL. (Case No. 158284), AND ZSA ASSET ALLOCATION FUND V. BOLL, ET
AL. (Case No. 158652) and were filed on or about September 12, 1996, September
27, 1996 and October 4, 1996, respectively.

The Company believes that such litigation (which has been consolidated) is
entirely without merit and intends to vigorously defend such litigation if
pursued.
