                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
General Residential Corporation
Santa Ana, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of General Residential
Corporation as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related statements
of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of General
Residential Corporation as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1996


1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ASSOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business - General Residential Corporation (the "Company")
is the lessor of three structures in Southern California which are
utilized as residential board and care facilities.

Property and Equipment - Land, buildings and improvements were valued in
connection with a reorganization effective December 11, 1980, at
management's estimate of net realizable value as derived from information
provided by an independent appraisal dated January 1, 1981. Related
depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based upon an
estimated useful life of 30 years. Office equipment is stated at cost and
is being depreciated on the straight-line method over its estimated
useful life of five years.

Income Taxes - In 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included on the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse (see Note 7).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company periodically assess the
recoverability of the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, including
intangible assets. A loss is recognized when expected undiscounted future
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment
loss is the difference by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
its fair value. The Company does not expect to have any significant
losses resulting from its review of impairment of long-lived assets.
Net Income Per Share - Net income per share is calculated using the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.


2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company compensated officers under month-to-month consulting
arrangements at the rate of $24,000 per year from January 1, 1995 through
March 31, 1996, and at the rate of $42,000 per year commencing April 1,
1996, plus reimbursable expenses. In addition, directors are compensated
at the rate of $12,000 per year plus expenses of $2,000 per year. During
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, fees and expenses to officers
and directors totalled $114,000 and $154,500, respectively.
The officers/directors of the Company have periodically advanced funds to
the Company on an unsecured basis to fund common stock repurchases and
working capital requirements. Such advances bear interest at 11% per
annum and are due upon demand. During the fiscal year ended December 31,
1996, the Company borrowed $15,500 from its officers/directors. At
