           FORUM RETIREMENT PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARY PARTNERSHIP
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Basis of Presentation
- -------------------------

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Forum Retirement
Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") and subsidiary partnership have been prepared
by the Partnership without audit.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures
normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted.  The Partnership
believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  However, the condensed  consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included  in the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996.

In  the  opinion  of  the  Partnership,  the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
consolidated  financial statements reflect all adjustments  necessary to present
fairly  the  financial  position  of the  Partnership  as of June  30,  1997 and
December 31, 1996,  and the results of  operations  and cash flows for the three
and six  months  ended  June  30,  1997.  Interim  results  are not  necessarily
indicative  of fiscal year  performance  because of the impact of  seasonal  and
short-term variations.

2.  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 a one percent  partnership
interest in a subsidiary  operating  partnership in which the Partnership owns a
ninety-nine percent limited partnership 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% of the outstanding  Preferred  Depository
Units (the "Units")  representing  preferred  limited  partner  interests in the
Partnership.

On June 21,  1997,  HMC  Senior  Communities,  Inc.  ("HMCSC"),  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Host Marriott  Corporation ("Host Marriott"),  acquired all of the
outstanding  stock of Forum Group from  Marriott  Senior Living  Services,  Inc.
("MSLS"),  a subsidiary of Marriott  International,  Inc. ("MI").  In connection
with the acquisition, Forum Group assigned to MSLS its interest as manager under
a long-term  management  agreement  (the  "Management  Agreement")  for the nine
senior living communities owned by the Partnership.

3.  Commitments and Contingencies
- ---------------------------------

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 of the Partnership  ("Partnership
Agreement"),  breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  fraud,  insider  trading,  and civil
conspiracy/aiding  and  abetting.  The Plaintiff  subsequently  amended the Iowa
Complaint, adding Forum Group as a defendant. The Iowa Complaint is a derivative
action seeking  recovery of damages and other relief on behalf of, and not from,
the  Partnership.  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 3,  1995,  the Iowa  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.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (continued)

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 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
moved to dismiss the amended complaint on similar grounds,  and on May 17, 1996,
the  Indiana  Court  ruled  on the  defendant's  motion  by  dismissing  without
prejudice two of the four counts contained in the amended complaint,  namely the
counts for alleged insider trading and civil conspiracy/aiding and abetting. The
litigation is in the pretrial  phase,  and both the Plaintiff and the defendants
are awaiting the Indiana Court's ruling on their respective  motions for summary
judgment.  The  Indiana  Court has set a trial date for  December  8, 1997.  The
General Partner intends to vigorously defend against this litigation.

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

Certain matters discussed in the Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and as such may involve
known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties,  and other factors which may cause the
actual  results,  performance or achievements of the Partnership to be different
from any future  results,  performance or  achievements  expressed or implied by
such   forward-looking   statements.   Although  the  Partnership  believes  the
expectations  reflected  in  such  forward-looking  statements  are  based  upon
reasonable  assumptions,  it can give no assurance that its expectation  will be
attained.  These  risks  are  detailed  from  time to time in the  Partnership's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Partnership undertakes
no  obligation  to  publicly  release  the  result  of any  revisions  to  these
forward-looking  statements  that may be made to reflect  any  future  events or
circumstances.

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

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996.  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996,  the
Partnership  owned nine senior  living  communities,  all of which are currently
managed by MSLS. The Partnership reported net income of $1,219,000 for the three
months  ended June 30,  1997  compared  to net income of  $256,000  for the same
period  in 1996.  Total  revenues  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1997
increased by $1,971,000 or 14.9%, to $15,167,000  compared to the same period in
1996. 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 residents'
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. The revenue increase is primarily the result of increases
in residency fees and charges in the  independent  living,  assisted  living and
nursing components,  the favorable impact of recently opened expansion units and
increases in therapy and other ancillary healthcare services.

Combined  average  occupancy  (calculated  based on the number of units occupied
during the respective  period) at the nine senior living  communities  was 94.1%
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a slight decrease from the prior year.

The combined  average  monthly rental rate per occupied unit  (calculated  using
revenue generated from the respective rental components and excluding non-rental
revenues)  increased 6% for the three month period ended June 30, 1997  compared
to the same  period  in 1996,  with  each of the nine  communities  experiencing
increases.

Routine  expenses and ancillary  costs for the three month period ended June 30,
1997 increased $1,028,000,  or 10.9%, to $10,428,000 compared to the same period
in 1996.  The  increased  costs and  expenses  resulted  from a higher  level of
nursing and therapy staffing as well as an increase in the amount of therapy and
ancillary  healthcare  services,  resulting from the expansions described above.
These recently  opened  expansion units at four  communities  impacted the costs
associated with the higher level of housekeeping and dining services.

The  foregoing  resulted  in an  increase  in Net  Operating  Income  ("NOI") of
$715,000,  or 26.3%,  to $3,431,000.  NOI is calculated as routine and ancillary
revenues ("operating  revenues") less routine and ancillary expenses ("operating
expenses")  and  management  fees.  Operating  margin  (operating  revenues less
operating  expenses) as a percentage of operating  revenues increased from 28.6%
for the three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1996 to 30.8% for the  comparable
period in 1997.

Management fees increased as a function of revenue.  Total interest  expense for
the three  months  ended June 30,  1997  decreased  by $3,000  compared to total
interest  expense  for the  same  period  in 1996  due  primarily  to  scheduled
principal amortization of long-term debt.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996. The Partnership  reported net income of
$1,746,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997  compared  to net income of
$630,000  for the same period in 1996.  Total  revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 increased by $3,112,000,  or 11.8%, to $29,478,000 compared to the
same period last year.

Combined  average  occupancy  (calculated  based on the number of units occupied
during  the  respective  period) at the nine  communities  was 93.7% for the six
months  ended June 30,  1997, a decrease of  approximately  one half  percentage
point compared to the same period in 1996. The combined  average  monthly rental
rate per occupied unit (calculated  using revenue  generated from the respective
rental components and excluding  non-rental  revenues)  increased 6% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996, with each of the
nine  communities  experiencing  increases.  The revenue  increase was favorably
impacted by recently  opened  expansion units and increases in therapy and other
ancillary services.

Routine  expenses  and  ancillary  costs for the six months  ended June 30, 1997
increased  $2,157,000,  or 11.6%, to $20,715,000  compared to the same period in
1996.  The  increased  costs and expenses  resulted  primarily  from a generally
higher level of nursing and therapy healthcare staffing, the increased provision
of  therapy  and other  ancillary  healthcare  services  and other  unremarkable
operational  trends.  NOI  increased  $640,000,  or  11.4%,  to  $6,276,000  and
operating margin remained unchanged at 29.4%.

Management fees increased as a function of revenue.  Total interest  expense for
the six months  ended June 30,  1997  decreased  by  $42,000  compared  to total
interest  expense  for the same  period  in 1996 due  primarily  to a  scheduled
principal amortization of long-term debt.

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.

On August 5, 1997, President Clinton signed the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (the
"Act"). A provision in the Act allows certain publicly traded partnerships which
would become  subject to tax as a  corporation  beginning in 1998 to elect to be
subject to a special tax on gross  income from its active  conduct of a trade or
business,  and  continue to avoid  being  treated as a  corporation  for federal
income tax purposes.  The tax generally applies to a partnership's  gross income
at the rate of three and one half percent, effective for taxable years beginning
after  December 31,  1997.  The General  Partner  intends to evaluate the impact
making the election allowed by the Act would have on the Partnership.

Financial condition
- -------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  At June 30, 1997, the Partnership had cash and
cash equivalents of $4,252,000 and restricted cash of $3,355,000.  Cash provided
by operating  activities  was $1,664,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
$1,748,000  less than the prior year due  principally to an increase in accounts
receivable  and a  decrease  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses.  The
Partnership  believes  that it has adequate  liquidity  to meet its  foreseeable
working capital requirements.

           FORUM RETIREMENT PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARY PARTNERSHIP


The  Partnership  has  ongoing  expansion  programs  relating  to certain of its
communities  in an  effort to  further  improve  the  Partnership's  results  of
operations.   Currently,  four  expansion  projects  have  been  completed,  two
expansion  projects are under  construction and another three expansion projects
are in active  development  or design.  Two of the three  projects  currently in
development or design are expected to begin construction by the end of 1997. The
four completed  projects  increased the number of living and nursing units owned
by the Partnership by  approximately  4% at a capital cost of $6.4 million.  The
five projects which are either under  construction or are in active  development
or design are expected to increase the number of living and nursing  units owned
by the Partnership by  approximately  16% at an estimated  capital cost of $21.9
million.  The  expansions  are designed to modify the uses of or add capacity to
existing  facilities  without incurring  substantial land acquisition and common
area build-out  costs.  Certain  expansions will require  additional  regulatory
approvals. The Partnership expended $2,301,000 and $2,086,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, related to these expansion projects,
and renewal and replacement projects for existing properties.

The  Partnership  is financing and intends to continue to finance this expansion
program  from the  Partnership's  cash flow from  operations.  If cash flow from
operations is insufficient to complete future  expansion on a timely basis,  the
expansion  may be delayed,  reduced in scope or  discontinued.  The terms of the
Partnership's  current  long-term debt agreement  restrict the Partnership  from
incurring additional  third-party  financing (other than $1 million of equipment
financing)  and prohibit the  imposition of liens on the  Partnership's  assets.
There can be 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  program,  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 availability of cash flow from operations,  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 and whether  operating costs are higher or lower than
anticipated.

Cash used in financing  activities  was $1,310,000 for the six months ended June
30,  1997,  an increase of $818,000  over the prior year  principally  due to an
increase in restricted cash.

Item 1.  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,
insider  trading,  and  civil  conspiracy/aiding  and  abetting.  The  Plaintiff
subsequently amended the Iowa Complaint,  adding Forum Group as a defendant. The
Iowa Compliant is a derivative action seeking damages and other relief on behalf
of, and not from,  the  Partnership.  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 3, 1995, the Iowa 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 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
moved to dismiss the amended complaint on similar grounds,  and on May 17, 1996,
the  Indiana  Court  ruled  on the  defendant's  motion  by  dismissing  without
prejudice two of the four counts contained in the amended complaint,  namely the
counts for alleged insider trading and civil conspiracy/aiding and abetting. The
litigation  is in pretrial  phase,  and both the Plaintiff and the defendant are
awaiting  the Indiana  Court's  ruling on their  respective  motions for summary
judgment.  The  Indiana  Court has set a trial date for  December  8, 1997.  The
General Partner intends to vigorously defend against this litigation.
