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

1.   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, 1997.

     In the opinion of the  Partnership,  the accompanying  unaudited  condensed
     consolidated  financial  statements  reflect all adjustments (which include
     only  normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the
     financial position of the Partnership as of March 31, 1998 and December 31,
     1997, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months
     ended  March  31,  1998  and  1997.  Interim  results  are not  necessarily
     indicative of fiscal year performance because of the impact of seasonal and
     short-term variations.

     The  Partnership's  balance  sheet has been  presented in a  non-classified
     format.  Accordingly,  information  as reported  in prior  filings has been
     restated.

2.   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  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  accompanying  consolidated  statements of operations as a
     reduction of the income of the Partnership.  Forum Group  beneficially owns
     approximately  86% of  the  outstanding  Preferred  Depository  Units  (the
     "Units")   representing  a  preferred   limited  partner  interest  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 RCs owned by the Partnership.

     On April 16, 1998, the Board of Directors of Host Marriott  approved a plan
     to reorganize Host Marriott's  current business  operations by spinning-off
     Host  Marriott's  senior living business into a separate  corporation,  the
     Senior Living  Communities  Company and contributing Host Marriott's hotels
     and certain other assets and liabilities to a newly formed Delaware limited
     partnership,  Host Marriott,  L.P., whose sole general partner will be Host
     Marriott  Trust,  a newly  formed  Maryland  Real Estate  Investment  Trust
     ("REIT"). After the proposed  reorganization,  HMCSC will lease hotels from
     Host Marriott,  L.P. The  reorganization,  if consummated,  will not have a
     significant impact on the operations of the Partnership.

     Consummation of the reorganization is subject to significant contingencies,
     including  final  Board  approval,   consent  of  shareholders,   partners,
     bondholders,  lenders and ground lessors of Host  Marriott,  its affiliates
     and other third  parties.  Accordingly,  there can be no assurance that the
     reorganization will be completed.

3.   Revenues  represent  house  profit  from the  Partnership's  senior  living
     communities.  House  profit  reflects  the  net  revenues  flowing  to  the
     Partnership  as property  owner and represents  gross  community  operating
     sales less property-level expenses excluding depreciation and amortization,
     real and personal  property taxes,  insurance,  management fees and certain
     other costs which are classified as operating costs and expenses.

     The debt service,  fixed asset, real estate tax and insurance reserve funds
     consist  of monies  transferred  into  segregated  escrow  accounts  out of
     revenues  generated  by the  Partnership,  pursuant  to  the  Partnership's
     secured  loan  facility.  These  funds are  periodically  disbursed  by the
     collateral agent to pay for debt service,  capital expenditures,  insurance
     premiums and real estate taxes  relating to the secured  property.  In some
     cases, to ensure prompt payment,  the Partnership utilizes its unrestricted
     cash to pay for capital  expenditures,  insurance  premiums and real estate
     taxes and is thereafter  reimbursed  for such payments out of funds held in
     the appropriate escrow account.

5.   The Omnibus Budget  Reconciliation  Act of 1987, as amended by the Taxpayer
     Relief Act of 1997 (the  "Act"),  provided  that  certain  publicly  traded
     partnerships  should be  treated as  corporations  for  federal  income tax
     purposes.   A  provision  of  the  Act  allows  certain   publicly   traded
     partnerships  which would otherwise  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.

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

     The  Partnership has elected not to pay the special tax on gross income and
     began  being  treated as a  corporation  for  federal  income tax  purposes
     effective January 1, 1998.  Included within the Partnership's tax provision
     for the first  quarter of 1998 is a one time charge of  approximately  $1.3
     million to record a net deferred tax liability related to the change in tax
     status.  The net deferred tax  liability  represents  the tax effect of the
     excess of the net assets reported in the accompanying  financial statements
     over the Partnership's tax basis in the net assets.  This difference is due
     primarily to the use, for income tax purposes, of accelerated  depreciation
     methods  and  shorter  depreciable  lives for  fixed  assets  and  deferred
     management  fees  which  have  been  expensed  under   generally   accepted
     accounting  principals  but are generally not  deductable  for tax purposes
     until paid.
      
6.   In  connection  with the  formation  of the  Partnership,  the  Partnership
     entered  into a  long-term  Management  Agreement  with Forum  Group  which
     requires fees of 8% of gross operating revenues. Through December 31, 1993,
     the  agreement  provided for the deferral of the payment of the fees if net
     cash  flow  was not  adequate  to make  certain  distributions  to  limited
     partners.  Cash flow was not  adequate to make the  distributions,  and the
     entire  $15,780,000  of  management  fees earned from the  formation of the
     Partnership  through  December 31, 1993 was deferred.  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 refinancings  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  not  limited  to,  if  Forum
     Retirement,  Inc. is removed as the General  Partner and 80% of the limited
     partners'  interest 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.

     On June 15, 1995, The Russell F. Knapp  Revocable  Trust (the  "Plaintiff")
     filed a  complaint  in the United  States  District  Court of the  Southern
     District of Indiana (the "Indiana  Court")  against the General Partner and
     Forum  Group  alleging  breach  of the  partnership  agreement,  breach  of
     fiduciary  duty,  fraud,  insider trading and civil  conspiracy/aiding  and
     abetting.  On February 4, 1998, the Plaintiff,  MSLS, the General  Partner,
     Forum  Group  and Host  Marriott  entered  into a  Settlement  and  Release
     Agreement  (the  "Settlement  Agreement"),  pursuant to which Host Marriott
     agreed  to pay each  limited  partner  electing  to join in the  Settlement
     Agreement  $4.50  per  unit  in  exchange  for  (i)  the  transfer  of  all
     Partnership units owned by a settling limited partner; (ii) an agreement by
     each settling limited partner not to purchase additional Partnership units;
     (iii) a  release  of all  claims  asserted  in the  litigation;  and (iv) a
     dismissal of the litigation.  Initially,  the period within which a limited
     partner  could  elect  to  participate  in  the  Settlement  Agreement  was
     scheduled to expire on April 27, 1998. This period has now been extended to
     May 22, 1998. Host Marriott  expects that additional  limited partners will
     join in the Settlement  Agreement but cannot predict with any certainty the
     extent of such additional  participation.  Host Marriott also agreed to pay
     as much as an additional $1.25 per unit to the settling  Limited  Partners,
     under  certain  conditions,  in the event that Host  Marriott  within three
     years  following  the date of  settlement  initiates a tender offer for the
     purchase  of units not  presently  held by Host  Marriott  or the  settling
     Limited  Partners.  On February 5, 1998, the Indiana Court entered an order
     approving the dismissal of the Plaintiff's case.

     In  connection  with the  Settlement  Agreement  on March  25,  1998,  Host
     Marriott  acquired  1,000,894  limited partner shares for $4,504,023.  As a
     result  of  this  purchase,  Host  Marriott's  ownership  interest  in  the
     Partnership,  directly or through  affiliates,  increased to  approximately
     86%.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q include  forward-looking  statements
within  the  meaning of the  Private  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995,  including
without  limitation,  statements  related to Host  Marriott  Corporation  ("Host
Marriott")  proposed REIT conversion,  the terms,  structure and timing thereof,
and the expected  effects of the proposed REIT conversion.  All  forward-looking
statements  involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties,  and other factors,
many of which are not within  the  control  of the  Partnership,  that may cause

different from any future  transactions,  results,  performance or  achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking  statements.  While the Partnership
believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its performance
or other expectations will be attained,  that the transactions  described herein
will be  consummated  or that the  terms of the  transactions  or the  timing or

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

REVENUES.  Revenues  represent  gross property  routine and ancillary sales less
property-level  expenses.  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. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998
increased by $188,000, or 4%, to $4,614,000 compared to the same period in 1997.
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 the  expansion  units and  increases  in therapy  and other
ancillary  healthcare  services.  However,  these  increases in gross sales also
resulted in increased department costs.  Combined average occupancy  (calculated
based on the number of units occupied during the respective  period) at the nine
senior living  communities  was 94.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
an increase of approximately 1.3% compared to the same period in 1997.

OPERATING  COSTS  AND  EXPENSES.   Operating  costs  and  expenses   consist  of
depreciation and amortization,  base management fees, real and personal property
taxes, insurance and certain other costs. The Partnership's  operating costs and
expenses  decreased  $209,000,  or 8%, to $2,353,000  for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 due primarily to a decrease in property taxes.

OPERATING PROFIT. As a result of the changes in revenues and operating costs and
expenses  discussed  above,  the  Partnership's  operating  profit  increased by
$397,000,  or 21%, to $2,261,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. As a
percentage of revenues,  operating costs and expenses decreased from 58% for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 to 51% for the same period in 1998.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense  decreased by $28,000,  or 2%, to $1,244,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1,272,000 during the same period
in 1997 resulting from loan principal amortization.

NET INCOME  (LOSS) . The net loss was  $690,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998  compared to net income of $527,000  for the same period in 1997 due to
the impact of an approximate  $1.3 million  one-time tax charge discussed below,
partially offset by improved  operations.  The net loss per limited partner unit
for the three  months  ended March 31,  1998 was $.04 per unit,  compared to net
income per unit of $.03 per share for the same period in 1997.

INCOME  TAXES.  The  Partnership  began being taxed as a  corporation  effective
January 1, 1998.  This has resulted in a one-time charge of  approximately  $1.3
million   included  as  the  tax  provision  for  the  first  quarter  of  1998.
Additionally,  the  Partnership's  income tax provision for the first quarter of
1998 was $453,000.

                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

At March 31, 1998, the Partnership  had cash and cash  equivalents of $3,220,000
and  restricted  cash  of  $2,848,000.  The  Partnership  believes  that  it has
sufficient capital resources to conduct its operations in the ordinary course of
business.

The  Partnership's  long-term  financing  needs have  historically  been  funded
through loan agreements with  independent  financial  institutions.  The General
Partner believes that the Partnership will have sufficient capital resources and
liquidity  to continue  to conduct  its  operations  in the  ordinary  course of
business,  although there can be no assurance of the Partnership's ability to do
so.

The  Partnership's  principal source of cash is from  operations.  Its principal
uses of cash are operating  expenses,  debt service,  property  replacement  and
renewals as well as to fund the expansions discussed below.

The  Partnership  has  an  on-going  expansion  program  related  to  all of its
communities  in an  effort to  further  improve  the  Partnership's  results  of
operations.  The  expansions  are designed to add capacity to and/or  modify the
uses of existing  facilities to increase earnings without incurring  substantial
land  acquisition  and common area  build-out  costs.  Certain  expansions  will
require  additional  regulatory  approvals.  The expansion  program  consists of
eleven separate  projects expected to increase the total number of units by 292,
or 18% of total units,  at an  estimated  cost of $20  million.  Currently,  six
expansion  projects  have  been  completed,  two  expansion  projects  are under
construction and another three expansion  projects are in active  development or
design.  The three  remaining  projects in development or design are expected to
begin  construction by the end of 1998 or early 1999. The six completed projects
increased the total number of units by 113, at a cost of $7.9 million.

The  Partnership  is financing and intends to continue to finance this expansion
program with cash from operations.  If cash flow from operations is insufficient
to complete future  expansions on a timely basis,  the expansion may be delayed,
reduced in scope or discontinued.  The terms of the  Partnership's  current 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 to the limited partners 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   government
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 and whether  operating costs are higher or lower than
anticipated.

Cash used in  operating  activities  was  $2,539,000  for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, compared to cash provided by operations of $314,000 for the same
period in 1997 due  principally to changes in working capital and amounts due to
Marriott International for reimbursement of operating costs and management fees.

Cash used in investing  activities was $277,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998,  compared to $958,000 for the same period in 1997 due to a decrease in
capital expenditures.

                ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash used in financing  activities was $423,000 for the three months ended March
31,  1998,  compared to $284,000 for the same period in 1997 due to increases in
repayments  of debt,  payments  on note due to  general  partner  and  financing
reserve.

On April 16, 1998,  the Board of Directors of Host  Marriott  approved a plan to
reorganize  Host Marriott's  current  business  operations by spinning-off  Host
Marriott's senior living business into a separate corporation, the Senior Living
Communities  Company and contributing  Host Marriott's  hotels and certain other
assets and  liabilities to a newly formed  Delaware  limited  partnership,  Host
Marriott,  L.P., whose sole general partner will be Host Marriott Trust, a newly
formed  Maryland  Real Estate  Investment  Trust  ("REIT").  After the  proposed
reorganization,   HMCSC  will  lease  hotels  from  Host   Marriott,   L.P.  The
reorganization,  if  consummated,  will not  have a  significant  impact  on the
operations of the Partnership.
   
Consummation  of the  reorganization  is subject to  significant  contingencies,
including final Board approval, consent of shareholders,  partners, bondholders,
lenders and ground  lessors of Host  Marriott,  its  affiliates  and other third
parties. Accordingly,  there can be no assurance that the reorganization will be
completed.

Cash used in financing  activities was $423,000 for the three months ended March
31,  1998,  compared to $284,000 for the same period in 1996 due to increases in
repayments  of debt,  payments  on note due to  general  partner  and  financing
reserve.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

           FORUM RETIREMENT PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARY PARTNERSHIP

ITEM 1.           Legal Proceedings

     On June 15, 1995, The Russell F. Knapp  Revocable  Trust (the  "Plaintiff")
filed a complaint in the United States  District Court of the Southern  District
of Indiana (the  "Indiana  Court")  against the General  Partner and Forum Group
alleging breach of the partnership  agreement,  breach of fiduciary duty, fraud,
insider trading and civil  conspiracy/aiding  and abetting. On February 4, 1998,
the Plaintiff,  MSLS, the General Partner, Forum Group and Host Marriott entered
into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the "Settlement  Agreement"),  pursuant
to which Host Marriott  agreed to pay each limited  partner  electing to join in
the Settlement  Agreement $4.50 per unit in exchange for (i) the transfer of all
Partnership units owned by a settling limited partner; (ii) an agreement by each
settling limited partner not to purchase  additional  Partnership units; (iii) a
release of all claims  asserted in the  litigation;  and (iv) a dismissal of the
litigation.  Initially, the period within which a limited partner could elect to
participate  in the  Settlement  Agreement  was scheduled to expire on April 27,
1998. This period has now been extended to May 22, 1998.  Host Marriott  expects
that  additional  limited  partners  will join in the  Settlement  Agreement but
cannot predict with any certainty the extent of such  additional  participation.
Host Marriott also agreed to pay as much as an additional  $1.25 per unit to the
settling  Limited  Partners,  under certain  conditions,  in the event that Host
Marriott within three years following the date of settlement  initiates a tender
offer for the  purchase  of units not  presently  held by Host  Marriott  or the
settling  Limited  Partners.  On February 5, 1998,  the Indiana Court entered an
order approving the dismissal of the Plaintiff's case.

     In  connection  with the  Settlement  Agreement  on March  25,  1998,  Host
Marriott acquired  1,000,894 limited partner shares for $4,504,023.  As a result
of  this  purchase,  Host  Marriott's  ownership  interest  in the  Partnership,
directly or through affiliates, increased to approximately 86%.
