NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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 the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  The financial statements have been prepared using the
accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements of Forum
Retirement Partners, L.P. and Subsidiary Partnership (the "Partnership")
included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995 (the "Annual Report").  The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments which are necessary, in the opinion
of management, to reflect fairly, in all material respects, the Partnership's
financial position and results of operations for the applicable periods. Certain
amounts in the 1995 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 presentation.  Operating results for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996 and these financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's Annual Report.

NOTE B - OWNERSHIP INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Forum Retirement, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Forum Group, Inc. ("Forum
Group"), is the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner") and
owns a one percent interest in the Partnership and in a subsidiary operating
partnership in which the Partnership owns a ninety-nine percent interest.  The
General Partner's interest in the subsidiary operating partnership is reflected
in the statements of operations as a reduction of the income or loss of the
Partnership.  Forum Group beneficially owns approximately 79.0% of the
outstanding Preferred Depository Units (the "Units") representing preferred
limited partner's interests in the Partnership.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

Statements in this report which are not strictly historical are "forward-
looking" and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which affect the
Partnership's business.  These uncertanities, which include competition with
other retirement communities, the balance between supply of and demand for
retirement communities, the Partnership's ability to timely effect its planned
expansion program on current and anticipated terms, including sufficiency of
cash flow from operations to finance the expansion (or the availability of
borrowings if necessary) and timely receipt of zoning and other governmental
approvals, potential changes in Medicaid and/or Medicare reimbursement levels or
criteria, potential changes in the regulatory environment applicable to
retirement communities and related healthcare services, the effect of national
and regional economic conditions, are described from time to time in the
Partnership's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

As of March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership owned nine retirement communities
("RC's"), all of which were managed by Forum Group. The Partnership reported net
income of $374,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to
net income of $6,000 for the same period in 1995. Total revenues for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 increased $912,000, or 7.5%, to $13,072,000
compared to the same period last year. Total revenues consist primarily of
routine service and ancillary service revenues. Routine service revenues are
generated from monthly charges for independent living units and daily charges
for assisted living suites and nursing beds which are recognized monthly based
on the terms of the resident's agreements. Ancillary service revenues are
generated on a "fee for service" basis for supplementary items requested by
residents and are recognized as the services are provided. Combined average
occupancy at the nine RC's was 93.7% for the three month period ended March 31,
1996, a decrease of approximately 0.4% points compared to the same period in
1995. The decrease was primarily the result of three

communities which experienced occupancy declines of 0.7%, 3.4% and 8.4% points,
respectively, with the remaining six communities experiencing occupancy
increases ranging from 0.8% to 4.3% points for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 1995.

The combined average monthly rental rate per occupied unit increased
approximately 8% for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to the
same period in 1995, with each of the nine communities experiencing increases.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995.  Routine and ancillary revenues
- ------------------------------------------                                 
increased $933,000, or 7.7%, to $13,021,000 over the comparable period in 1995.
The revenue increase is primarily attributable to increases in residency fees
and charges in the independent and assisted living and nursing components,
increases in the provision of therapy and other ancillary healthcare services,
higher average occupancy at a majority of the RC's and an unfavorable net
Medicare settlement of $190,000 in 1995 for the comparable period.  Each of the
nine communities experienced overall increases in total revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Three RC's
experienced occupancy declines in the first three months of 1996 yet reflected
increased revenues, two RC's as a result of the provision of a higher level of
therapy and other ancillary services and the third RC as a result of an
unfavorable net Medicare settlement of $190,000 in 1995.

Routine expenses and ancillary costs increased $254,000, or 2.9%, to $9,060,000
compared to the same period in 1995.  The higher costs and expenses resulted
primarily from the increased provision of ancillary healthcare services, higher
levels of average occupancy at six of the nine RC's and normal inflationary and
other operational increases in other expenses.  The higher occupancy rates at
six RC's principally impact the costs associated with the higher level of
nursing, therapy, housekeeping and dining services required by these residents.
One RC experienced a reduction in routine expenses and ancillary costs of
approximately $219,000 due primarily to a decline in occupancy of 8.4% points as
well as reductions in certain operating expenses due to the implementation of
certain cost-reduction measures. Adjusted for the 1995 non-comparable item

the operating margin (operating revenues less operating expenses) as a
percentage of operating revenues increased from 28.3% for the three month period
ended March 31, 1995 to 30.4% for the comparable period in 1996. Six of the nine
RC's experienced increases in NOI on a period to period basis. The overall
operating margin increase was most affected by one RC, which incurred a decrease
in operating revenues (adjusted for the noncomparable item previously noted)
that was more than offset by significant decreases in certain operating
expenses.

Management fees increased as a function of revenue.  Depreciation and
amortization increased as a result of current and prior year additions to
property and equipment.  Total interest expense for the three months ended March
31, 1996 decreased by $22,000 compared to total interest expense for the same
period in 1995 due primarily to a reduction in the principal amount of long-term
debt.

Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement as in effect since the
Partnership's formation in 1986, management fees (based on the Partnership's
gross operating revenues) payable to Forum Group for all periods prior to 1994
have been deferred.  Fees occurring after January 1, 1994 have been paid on a
current basis.  The deferred management fees were expensed in the Partnership's
statements of operations and reflected on a deferred basis in the Partnership's
balance sheets for the relevant periods.  Accordingly, except for changes in
management fees payable resulting from variations in revenue levels, the current
payment of such fees for periods after January 1, 1994 had a comparable impact
on the Partnership's operating and net income as compared to prior periods,
although it did affect the Partnership's cash position commencing in 1994.

Income Taxes.  The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 provides that
certain publicly traded partnerships will be treated as corporations for federal
income tax purposes.  A grandfather provision delays corporate tax

status until 1998 for publicly traded partnerships in existence prior to
December 18, 1987.  On August 8, 1988 the General Partner was authorized by
the limited partners to do all things deemed necessary or desirable to insure
that the Partnership is not treated as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes.  Alternatives available to avoid corporate taxation after 1998
include:  (i) selling or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of the
Partnership's assets pursuant to a plan of liquidation and (ii) converting the
Partnership into a real estate investment trust or other type of legal entity.
Such actions are prohibited or restricted under the Partnership's current
financing and may require the granting of a waiver by the lender thereunder.
There can be no assurance that any such waiver would be granted.  There can be
no assurance that the Partnership will avoid being taxed as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had cash
and cash equivalents of $2,966,000, accounts receivable of $3,330,000, other
current assets of $872,000 and current liabilities of $8,045,000, including
$1,272,000 of resident deposits of which $1,237,000 is included in restricted
cash at the balance sheet date.  The Partnership believes that it has adequate
liquidity to meet its foreseeable working capital requirements.

The Partnership has initiated an expansion program at some of its properties to
improve the Partnership's operating results.  Currently, one project has been
completed and three projects are underway.  Six more expansion projects are
expected to begin by late 1996 and four more projects are expected to begin
after 1996.  The four projects which are either under construction or have been
completed are expected to increase the number of living and nursing units owned
by the Partnership by approximately 4% at a budgeted capital cost of $3.7
million.  The six additional projects expected to begin by late 1996 are
expected to increase the Partnership's number of units by an additional 10% at
an expected capital cost of $10.7 million.  The expansion program is designed to
modify the uses of or add capacity to existing facilities without incurring

substantial land acquisition and common area build-out costs.  The projects that
have not yet commenced will require additional regulatory approvals.

The Partnership presently intends to finance this expansion from the
Partnership's cash flow from operations.  If cash flow from operations is
insufficient to complete the expansion on a timely basis, the expansion may be
delayed, reduced in scope or discontinued.  In that event, the Partnership may
seek to obtain financing from Forum Group or the Partnership's general partner,
although they have no obligation to provide any such financing.  The
Partnership's long-term debt agreement restricts the ability of the Partnership
to obtain third-party financing above $1 million (other than from Forum Group or
the general partner, on an unsecured, subordinated basis), and prohibits the
imposition of liens on the Partnership's assets.  There is no assurance that a
waiver can be obtained from the lender to permit any third-party financing, or
whether, when and on what terms any such financing may be available.  As a
result of the capital required to fund the expansion, the Partnership does not
expect to make distributions in respect of limited partner units in the
foreseeable future.

The implementation of the expansion program and its impact on the value of an
investment in the Partnership is subject to a number of variables, including
without limitation the cost and availability of any required financing, the
timing with respect to obtaining any such financing, the ability to obtain
required zoning variances and permits from local governmental authorities and
the timing thereof, whether development and construction costs are higher or
lower than anticipated, whether newly added living units are occupied faster or
slower than anticipated and whether operating costs are higher or lower than
anticipated.

The management fee payable to Forum Group of $15,780,000 for all periods from
the formation of the Partnership in 1986 to December 31, 1993 was deferred.
Management fees for periods after December 31, 1993 are being paid quarterly, in
arrears.  Deferred management fees are payable to Forum Group out of proceeds of
sales and refinancing after making distributions of those proceeds in an amount
sufficient to (i) meet limited partners' tax liabilities, (ii) repay limited
partners' capital contributions, and (iii) pay a 12% cumulative, simple annual
return on limited partners' unrecovered

capital contributions.  Deferred management fees become immediately due and
payable in the event that the Management Agreement is terminated, which may
occur under certain conditions including, but no limited to, if Forum
Retirement, Inc. is removed as the General Partner and 80% in interest of the
limited partners vote to terminate such agreement.  The Partnership is unable to
predict when or if management fees deferred prior to January 1, 1994 will become
payable.

Operating activities provided $558,000 more cash during the three months ended
March 31, 1996 than during the comparable period in 1995 due principally to
increases in both net income as discussed previously and certain accounts
payable and accrued expenses.

Investing activities used $823,000 more cash during the three months ended March
31, 1996 than during the comparable period in 1995 due principally to the
significant increase in expansion and renovation activity at several of the RC's
funded by cash from operating activities.

Financing activities used $740,000 more cash during the three months ended March
31, 1996 than during 1995 due principally to an increase in restricted cash
which resulted from the establishment in the three month period ended September
30, 1995, of additional fixed asset, insurance and real estate tax reserve funds
as required by the mortgage loan agreement encumbering the nine RC's owned by
the Partnership.

Inflation.  Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect
on net income.  To the extent possible, increased costs are recovered through
increased residency fees and charges.

                          IMPORTANT FACTORS REGARDING
                          FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ 
materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this 
report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Reference is 
also made to uncertainties discussed in the following portions of the 
Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
1995: (a) the subsections entitled "Sources of Payment," "Regulation and Other 
Factors" and "Competition" in Item 2, within the "PROPERTIES" section, which 
describe (i) the federal and state governmental involvement and discretion in 
the funding and payment of Medicare and Medicaid payments that comprise a 
significant portion of the Partnership's revenues, (ii) the federal, state and
local govermental regulation of healthcare facilities, including the requirement
of continued licensure, and (iii) the competitive conditions faced by the
Partnership, and (b) Item 7, "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS."

     Competition: The profitability of retirement communities is subject to 
general economic conditions, competition, the desirability of particular 
locations, the relationship between supply of and demand for senior living
facilities, and other factors. The Partnership's retirement communities are
generally located in markets that contain numerous competitors, and the
continued success of the Partnership's retirement communities in their
respective markets will be dependent, in large part, upon those facilities'
ability to compete in such areas as access, location, quality of accommodations,
amenities, specialized services and rate structure.

     Facility Expansion: The timing and success of the planned expansion of the
Partnership's existing retirement communities is dependent upon a number of
factors, including the ability to obtain required zoning variances and permits
from local governmental authorities and the timing thereof, whether development
and construction costs are higher or lower than anticipated, whether
construction is completed faster or slower than anticipated, whether newly added
living units are occupied faster or slower than anticipated, whether rental
rates for additional living units are higher or lower than anticipated, and
whether operating costs are higher or lower than anticipated.

     Availability of Financing: The Partnership presently intends to finance the
planned expansion of its existing retirement communities out of the 
Partnership's cash flow from operations. If cash flow from operations is 
insufficient to complete such expansion on a timely basis, the expansion may be 
delayed, reduced in scope or discontinued. In that event, the Partnership may 
seek to obtain financing from Forum Group or the General Partner, although they 
do not have an obligation to provide any such financing. The Nomura Loan 
restricts the ability of the Partnership to obtain third-party financing (other 
than from Forum Group or the General Partner, on an unsecured, subordinated 
basis) above $1 million in the aggregate, and prohibits the imposition of liens 
on the Partnership's assets. There can be no assurance that a waiver could be 
obtained from the lender to permit any third-party financing, or whether, when 
and on what terms any such financing may be available.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        On January 24, 1994, The Russell F. Knapp Revocable Trust (the
"Plaintiff") filed a complaint (the "Iowa Complaint") in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Iowa (the "Iowa Court") against the
General Partner alleging breach of the Partnership Agreement, breach of
fiduciary duty, fraud, and civil conspiracy. The Plaintiff subsequently amended
the Iowa Complaint, adding Forum Group as a defendant. The Iowa Complaint
alleged, among other things, that the Plaintiff holds a substantial number of
Units, that the Board of Directors of the General Partner is not comprised of a
majority of independent directors as required by the Partnership Agreement and
as allegedly represented in the Partnership's 1986 Prospectus for its initial
public offering, and that the General Partner's Board of Directors has approved
and/or acquiesced to an 8% management fee charged by Forum Group under the
Management Agreement. The Iowa Complaint further alleged that the "industry
standard" for such fees is 4%, thereby resulting in an "overcharge" to the
Partnership estimated by the Plaintiff at $1.8 million per annum beginning in
1994. The Plaintiff sought the restoration of certain former directors to the
Board of Directors of the General Partner and the removal of certain other
directors from the Board, an injunction prohibiting the payment of an 8%
management fee, and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. On April 4,
1995, the District Court entered an order dismissing the Iowa Complaint on
jurisdictional grounds. Although the Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the
Iowa Court's ruling, it subsequently dismissed this appeal.

        On June 15, 1995, the Plaintiff filed a complaint (the "Indiana 
Complaint") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of 
Indiana (the "Indiana Court") against the General Partner and Forum Group 
containing essentially the same allegations asserted in the Iowa Complaint, and 
seeking essentially the same relief. The defendants moved to dismiss the Indiana
Complaint for failure to state a claim for which relief could be granted and, in
response, on December 11, 1995 the Plaintiff amended the Indiana Complaint. The 
defendants have also moved to dismiss the amended complaint on similar grounds. 
The parties are awaiting the Indiana Court's ruling.

        The General Partner intends to vigorously defend against this 
litigation. The Partnership, in accordance with the Management Agreement, 
reimbursed the General Partner for $89,000 and $146,000 of litigation costs 
relating to this claim in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
