     CareMatrix  expects to utilize its assisted living  facilities to
     serve as the foundation from which it will provide a continuum of
     care  for  its  residents.   When   integrated   with  supportive
     independent  living  facilities,  extended  care  facilities,  and
     Alzheimer's  care programs,  the Company will have the ability to
     provide a less stressful transition for its residents either in the
     same facility, within a campus setting, or to a nearby facility.


     The provision of a full range of quality senior residential services
     at each CareMatrix assisted living facility, permits residents to
     age in place by meeting their changing personal and health care needs.
     To accomplish this, CareMatrix is developing comprehensive service
     packages and integrated campuses which will enable the Company to
     become a leading provider of assisted living services to seniors
     with a fully integrated matrix of social and health care services
     models.

     our handsome dining rooms, delicious chef-prepared meals, served

     Comfortable, well-appointed common areas, including beautifully

     community. Residents enjoy companionship and security, enhanced by

                          [PHOTO OF FACILITY EXTERIOR]

     Our residents enjoy quality housing in senior care parks. As 
     residents' needs for health care and assistance become greater, 
     those needs can be met by professional caregivers who deliver 
     services in a highly cost-effective way.

                       [PHOTO DEPICTING RESIDENTS IN UNIT]

     At CareMatrix, comfort, companionship, and distinctive apartment
     living come together to give residents the independence they

   The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed 
information and financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing 
elsewhere in this Prospectus. Prospective investors should consider carefully 
the information set forth under "Risk Factors." Unless otherwise indicated, 
information in this Prospectus assumes (i) no exercise of the Underwriters' 
option to purchase from the Selling Stockholders up to 937,500 additional 
shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any, and (ii) a 
one-for-five reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock effective 
October 14, 1996 (the "Reverse Split"). 
    


                                 The Company 

   
   CareMatrix Corporation (the "Company") (formerly known as The Standish 
Care Company) is a provider of assisted living services, operating 20 
facilities in eight states with a capacity of approximately 1,580 residents. 
Of these facilities, two are owned, nine are leased and nine are managed. The 
Company's three year growth objective is to develop at least 60 new 
facilities, with a capacity of approximately 7,200 residents, and to acquire 
additional assisted living facilities or operations. Currently, the Company 
is developing 28 facilities, of which four facilities are now under 
construction. The Company's strategy is to provide a full range of assisted 
living and related services across a range of pricing options. 
    

   
   The Company believes that it can effectively and efficiently respond to a 
variety of the needs of seniors as they age and require additional care. The 
Company expects its assisted living facilities to serve as the foundation 
from which it will provide a continuum of care for its residents. When its 
assisted living facilities are integrated with supportive independent living 
facilities, skilled nursing/rehabilitation facilities and Alzheimer's care 
programs, the Company believes that it will have the ability to provide a 
less stressful transition for those of its residents who need a higher degree 
of care to more supportive environments either within the same facility, in a 
campus setting or in a nearby facility. The Company believes that by offering 
such a continuum of care to its residents, it will be better able to respond 
to resident needs than free-standing assisted living facilities that do not 
provide the flexibility for their residents to age in place. 
    

   
   The Company intends to provide at all of its assisted living facilities a 
full range of quality senior residential services that are designed to permit 
residents to age in place by meeting their evolving personal and health care 
needs. To accomplish this objective, the Company is developing comprehensive 
service packages and integrated campuses that the Company believes will 
enable it to become a leading provider of assisted living services to seniors 
within a fully integrated matrix of social and healthcare service models. 
    

   
   The Company believes that the popularity of assisted living and other 
senior care alternatives will increase the demand for quality facilities that 
provide such services across upper, moderate and lower income markets. The 
Company is developing four such models to meet this anticipated demand: 
    

   (bullet) Chancellor Park--These facilities will provide supportive 
independent and assisted living services and are designed to serve primarily 
upper income residents. The capacity of this model ranges from 100 to 160 
residents. The average monthly service fee paid by residents will range from 
approximately $2,300 to $4,900. 

   (bullet) Chancellor Gardens--These facilities, which target a broader 
population base, will provide similiar services to moderate and upper income 
residents. This model typically accommodates 80 to 140 residents. The average 
monthly service fee paid by residents will range from approximately $1,400 to 
$3,000. 

   
   (bullet) Chancellor Village--These facilities, which further broaden the 
Company's service market, are designed to accommodate lower income residents 
and Medicaid-eligible residents. This model typically accommodates 80 to 100 
residents. The average monthly service fee for residents will range from 
approximately $900 to $2,000. 
    

   
   (bullet) Chancellor Place--These facilities, which will be free-standing 
or integrated within other Company facilities to provide a continuum of care, 
are specially designed to meet the programmatic needs of residents with early 
or intermediate Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. This model, 
which targets upper income seniors, accommodates 40 to 80 residents. The 
average monthly service fee paid by residents will range from approximately 
$3,200 to $3,600. 
    


                                      4 
<PAGE> 

   
   Upon the completion of the Offering, the Company will implement an 
aggressive development and acquisition program designed to enhance the 
Company's ability to achieve its growth strategy. The Company will seek to 
cluster its facilities within selected geographic regions to achieve 
marketing, cost and service advantages. The Company believes that by 
combining different levels of care in a single, integrated campus or facility 
or through a network of facilities within a distinct market, it will be able 
to respond to the varied needs of seniors as they age, meet the cost 
containment objectives of private and governmental payor sources and create 
significant competitive advantages. 
    

   
   The Company's senior management team has extensive experience in 
developing, operating and managing senior residence facilities. The Company 
expects that the facilities it plans to develop and subsequently manage or 
lease over the next three years will be developed for both related and 
unrelated parties. See "Risk Factors-- Dependence by the Company on Related 
Party Agreements" and "Business--Development and Acquisition." 
    

   
   On October 4, 1996, twelve wholly owned subsidiaries of The Standish Care 
Company ("Standish") were merged into twelve corporations controlled by 
Abraham D. Gosman, members of his family and certain members of senior 
management (collectively, "Pre-Merger CareMatrix"), with the stockholders of 
Pre-Merger CareMatrix receiving approximately 92% of the then outstanding 
shares of Standish common stock (the "Merger"). Following the Merger, The 
Standish Care Company changed its name to CareMatrix Corporation. The Merger 
was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby Pre-Merger CareMatrix is 
treated as the acquiror for accounting purposes.

                                 RISK FACTORS 

   
   Potential investors should consider carefully the following factors, as 
well as the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, 
before making a decision to invest in the Common Stock offered hereby. This 
Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements regarding the 
Company's future plans, operations and prospects, which involve risks and 
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from the 
results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of 
certain of the factors set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this 
Prospectus. 
    

   
   History of Losses From Operations; Accumulated Deficit. From its inception 
on June 24, 1994 through June 30, 1996, the Company experienced significant 
losses from operations. Through June 30, 1996, the Company had cumulative 
losses from operations of $12.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 1995 
and the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred losses from 
operations of $6.7 million (including an $895,000 provision for closing a 
facility) and $3.2 million, respectively. At June 30, 1996, the Company's 
accumulated deficit was $13.5 million. On a pro forma basis giving effect to 
the Merger and the Asset Purchase, for the year ended December 31, 1995 and 
the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred losses from 
operations of $9.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The Company 
expects to incur losses from operations through at least the end of 1996 and 
may continue to have losses thereafter. See "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company" and 
the CareMatrix Combined Financial Statements. There can be no assurance that 
the Company will be able to generate income from operations or net income at 
any time, whether from its existing operations or from any facilities that 
are operated in the future. Failure of the Company to achieve profitability 
could have a material adverse effect on the future viability of the Company. 
    

   
   Dependence by the Company on Related Party Agreements. It is expected that 
the Company will enter into agreements with related parties in connection 
with a significant number of transactions, including development, management 
and lease agreements. Generally, the Company will enter into development 
agreements whereby construction financing is obtained by the related or third 
parties. The Company expects that risks related to construction and the 
initial operation of the facilities it develops will be borne primarily by 
such related or third parties. The Company expects that it will not enter 
into management agreements with these parties until completion of the 
construction of such facilities or upon acquisition of completed facilities. 
These management agreements would generally be for a ten-year period, with 
annual fees approximating 5% of gross revenues (less contractual adjustments 
for uncollectible accounts). The Company also expects to have the option to 
convert such management agreements into fair market value leases (which will 
be a negotiated percentage of total project costs) for a ten-year initial 
term with three to four five-year fair market value renewal options. Abraham 
D. Gosman is the principal owner, and certain members of the Company's senior 
management and stockholders also have an ownership interest in, Chancellor 
Senior Housing Group, Inc. and certain like entities ("Chancellor"), with 
which the Company expects to enter into most such agreements. Failure of the 
Company to continue to enter into such agreements with Chancellor or other 
such related parties, or the inability of Chancellor to secure all necessary 
financing at acceptable terms, could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company. See "--Need for Additional Financing," "Business--Development and 
Acquisition" and "Certain Transactions." 
    

   
   Need for Additional Financing. The Company's development and acquisition 
strategy will require substantial capital resources. The estimated cumulative 
cost to complete approximately 60 new facilities, with an aggregate capacity 
of approximately 7,200 residents, targeted for completion over the next three 
years is between $600 million and $700 million, which substantially exceeds 
the financial resources of the Company and Chancellor. The Company's future 
growth will depend primarily on the ability of related parties, such as 
Chancellor, for whom the Company develops facilities to obtain financing on 
acceptable terms. To finance its capital needs, the Company plans both to 
incur indebtedness and to issue, from time to time, additional debt or equity 
securities, including Common Stock or convertible notes, in connection with 
its acquisitions and affiliations. If additional funds are raised through the 
issuance of equity securities, dilution to the Company's stockholders may 
result, and if additional funds are raised through the incurrence of debt, 
the Company would likely become subject to certain covenants that impose 
restrictions on its operations and finances. There can be no assurance that 
the Company or such related parties will be able to raise additional capital 
when needed, on satisfactory terms or at all. Historically, the Company has 
relied upon equity and loans provided primarily by Abraham D. Gosman, the 
Company's Chairman of the Board and principal stockholder, or companies 
affiliated with him. See "--Substantial Debt and Lease Obligations." Upon 
completion of the Offering, all loans from Mr. Gosman will be repaid. There 
can be no assurance that any additional financing from Mr. Gosman, Chancellor 
or any other sources 
    


                                      7 
<PAGE> 

will be available after completion of the Offering. Any limitation on the 
Company's ability to obtain additional financing could have a material 
adverse effect on the Company. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Certain 
Transactions." 

   
   Substantial Debt and Lease Obligations. At June 30, 1996, the Company's 
pro forma total debt, as adjusted for the Offering, was $13.3 million. Debt 
service and annual operating lease payment obligations are expected to 
increase significantly as the Company pursues its growth strategy. A 
significant portion of these obligations may be to related parties. There can 
be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient cash flow to meet 
its obligations. Any payment default or other default with respect to such 
obligations could cause a lender to foreclose upon any collateral securing 
the indebtedness or, in the case of an operating lease, could terminate the 
lease, with a consequent loss of income and asset value to the Company. 
Moreover, because certain of the Company's mortgages, debt instruments and 
leases may contain cross-default and cross-collateralization provisions, a 
default by the Company on one of its payment obligations could result in 
acceleration of other obligations and adversely affect a significant number 
of the Company's other facilities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company--Liquidity 
and Capital Resources" and "Certain Transactions." 
    

   
   Development and Construction Risks. During the next three years, the 
Company plans to develop approximately 60 new facilities with a resident 
capacity of approximately 7,200 residents. The Company's ability to achieve 
its development goals will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which 
are beyond the Company's control. There can be no assurance that the Company 
will not suffer delays in its development program . The successful 
development of additional facilities will involve a number of risks, 
including the possibility that the Company may be unable to locate suitable 
sites at acceptable prices or may be unable to obtain, or may experience 
delays in obtaining, necessary certificates of need, zoning, land use, 
building, occupancy, licensing and other required governmental permits and 
authorizations. The Company may also incur construction costs that exceed 
original estimates or even so-called guaranteed maximum cost construction 
contracts, and may not complete construction projects on schedule. The 
Company will rely on third- party general contractors to construct its new 
facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience 
difficulties in working with general contractors and subcontractors, which 
could result in increased construction costs and delays. Further, facility 
development is subject to a number of contingencies over which the Company 
will have little control and that could have a material adverse effect on 
project cost and completion time, including shortages of, or the inability to 
obtain, labor or materials, the inability of the general contractor or 
subcontractors to perform under their contracts, strikes, adverse weather 
conditions and changes in applicable laws or regulations or in the method of 
applying such laws and regulations. Failure of the Company to achieve its 
development goals could have a material adverse effect on the Company. 
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the facilities listed in 
"Business-- Development and Acquisition" as being in development or under 
construction will ultimately be completed. 
    

   Risks Related to Acquisition Strategy. The Company's strategy includes 
growth through acquisition. The Company is subject to various risks 
associated with its acquisition growth strategy, including the risk that the 
Company will be unable to identify or acquire suitable acquisition candidates 
or to integrate the acquired companies into the Company's operations. Any 
failure of the Company to identify and consummate economically feasible 
acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can 
be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve and manage its 
planned acquisition growth, that the liabilities assumed by the Company in 
any acquisition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or 
that the addition of facilities will be profitable for the Company. 

   
   Difficulties Associated with Integrating the Operations of Standish and 
Pre-Merger CareMatrix. The Company believes that it can successfully 
integrate and manage the combined operations of Standish and Pre- Merger 
CareMatrix, as well as achieve certain economies of scale. Because of the 
inherent uncertainties associated with efforts to integrate and manage the 
operations of the two companies, however, there can be no assurance that the 
Company will be successful in such integration and management, that any cost 
savings or operating synergies will be realized, or that there will not be 
offsetting increases in other expenses or other charges to earnings resulting 
from the combined operations. The Company may elect to dispose of certain of 
its facilities and may, as a result, incur non-recurring expenses. See 
"Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information." 
    

   Dependence on Attracting Seniors with Sufficient Resources to Pay. The 
Company expects to rely primarily on the ability of its residents to pay for 
services from their own and their families' financial resources. Generally, 
only seniors with income or assets meeting or exceeding the comparable median 
in the regions where the Company's assisted living facilities are located can 
afford the applicable fees for its facilities for an extended period of time. 
Any difficulty in attracting seniors with adequate resources to pay for the 
Company's services could have a material 

                                      8 
<PAGE> 

adverse effect on the Company. Inflation or other circumstances which 
adversely affect the ability of the Company's residents and potential 
residents to pay for assisted living services could also have a material 
adverse effect on the Company. 

   Dependence Upon Key Personnel. The Company is dependent upon the ability 
and experience of its executive officers, including its Chairman, and there 
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain all of such 
officers. The failure of such officers to remain active in the Company's 
management could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be 
no assurance that the anticipated contributions of senior management will be 
realized, and the failure of such contributions to be realized could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company. 

   
   Risks Related to Goodwill. At June 30, 1996, the Company's pro forma total 
assets, as adjusted for the Offering, were approximately $145.2 million, of 
which approximately $18.5 million, or approximately 12.7% of total assets, 
was goodwill. Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of the net 
assets of businesses acquired. There can be no assurance that the value of 
such goodwill will ever be realized by the Company. This goodwill is being 
amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years. The Company evaluates on a 
regular basis whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate 
all or a portion of the carrying amount of goodwill may no longer be 
recoverable, in which case an additional charge to earnings would become 
necessary. Although at June 30, 1996 the net unamortized balance of goodwill 
is not considered to be impaired, any such future determination requiring the 
write-off of a significant portion of unamortized goodwill could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial 
Information." 
    

   
   Competition. The assisted living industry is highly competitive and, given 
the relatively low barriers to entry and continuing healthcare cost 
containment pressures, the Company expects that it will become increasingly 
competitive in the future. The Company competes with other companies 
providing assisted living services as well as numerous other companies 
providing similar service and care alternatives, such as home health care 
agencies, congregate care facilities, retirement communities and skilled 
nursing facilities. While the Company believes there is a need for additional 
assisted living residences in the markets where it intends to develop 
facilities, the Company expects that, as assisted living facilities receive 
increased attention, competition will increase from new market entrants. 
Moreover, in implementing its growth strategy, the Company expects to face 
competition for development and acquisition opportunities from local 
developers and regional and national assisted living companies. Some of the 
Company's present and potential competitors have, or may have access to, 
greater financial resources than those of the Company. Consequently, 
increased competition in the future could limit the Company's ability to 
attract and retain residents, to maintain or increase resident service fees 
or to expand its business. As a result, any increased competition could have 
a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business-Competition." 
    

   
   Discretionary Use of Proceeds; Significant Net Proceeds to Principal 
Stockholder. The Company will have broad discretion in using the net proceeds 
received by the Company from the Offering. While approximately $23.1 million 
of the net proceeds received by the Company will be used to repay debt to, 
and redeem the Series B Preferred Stock held by, the Company's principal 
stockholder, the Company expects to use approximately $100.8 million of the 
remaining net proceeds to acquire and develop additional facilities. Although 
the Company currently has four facilities under construction and an 
additional 28 facilities under development, the Company will have broad 
discretion in modifying its current acquisition and development plan, 
selecting and developing future sites, acquiring additional facilities and 
otherwise using the net proceeds of the Offering. See "Use of Proceeds," 
"Business-- Development and Acquisition" and "Principal and Selling 
Stockholders." 
    

   
   Limited Experience with New Service Models and Facility Designs. The 
Company's success is dependent, in part, on its ability to develop and offer 
new service models and facility designs to prospective residents of its 
facilities. Currently, the Company does not have extensive operating 
experience with these new service models and facility designs, and the 
failure of the Company to successfully implement and integrate these new 
service models and facility designs could have a material adverse effect on 
the Company. See "Business--Service Models." 
    

   
   Potential Conflicts of Interest. Abraham D. Gosman, the Company's 
principal stockholder and Chairman, and certain members of the Company's 
senior management, have a controlling ownership interest in Chancellor with 
which the Company expects to enter into development, management and lease 
agreements. These agreements will be on terms that the Company believes will 
be fair and no less favorable to the Company than those which the Company 
could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Such ownership interests 
in Chancellor and other healthcare entities that compete with the Company, 
however, may create actual or potential conflicts of interest on 
    


                                      9 
<PAGE> 

   
the part of these members of the Company's management. In the case of such 
related party transactions, it is the Company's policy to require that any 
such transactions be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of 
the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. See "Business--Development 
and Acquisitions" and "Certain Transactions." 
    

   
   Control by Management. Members of the Board of Directors and management 
will be the beneficial owners of approximately 55.4% of the outstanding 
Common Stock after the Offering. Abraham D. Gosman, together with his sons, 
Andrew D. Gosman and Michael M. Gosman, all of whom are members of the Board 
of Directors and executive officers of the Company, will be deemed to be the 
beneficial owners of approximately 49.7% of the outstanding Common Stock 
after the Offering. Accordingly, management will have the ability, and the 
Gosmans may have the ability, by voting shares of Common Stock, to determine 
(i) the election of the Company's Board of Directors and, thus, the direction 
and future operations of the Company, and (ii) the outcome of all other 
matters submitted to the Company's stockholders, including mergers, 
consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's 
assets. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders." 
    

   
   Residence Staffing and Labor Costs. The Company competes with other 
providers of assisted living services with respect to attracting and 
retaining qualified and skilled personnel. The Company is dependent upon its 
ability to attract and retain management personnel responsible for the 
day-to-day operations of each of the Company's facilities. In addition, a 
possible shortage of nurses or trained personnel may require the Company to 
enhance its wage and benefits package in order to compete in the hiring and 
retention of such personnel or to hire more expensive temporary personnel. 
The Company will also be dependent upon the available labor pool of 
semi-skilled and unskilled employees in each of the markets in which it will 
operate. Any significant failure by the Company to attract and retain 
qualified management and staff personnel, to control its labor costs or to 
pass on any increased labor costs to residents through rate increases could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company. 
    

   Government Regulation. Health care is an area of extensive and frequent 
regulatory change. The assisted living industry is relatively new, and, 
accordingly, the manner and extent to which it is regulated at the Federal 
and state levels are evolving. Changes in the laws or new interpretations of 
existing laws may have a significant impact on the Company's methods and 
costs of doing business. The Company is subject to varying degrees of 
regulation and licensing by health or social service agencies and other 
regulatory authorities in the various states and localities where it operates 
or intends to operate. 

   The Company's success will depend in part upon its ability to satisfy 
applicable regulations and requirements and to procure and maintain required 
licenses in rapidly changing regulatory environments. Any failure to satisfy 
applicable regulations or to procure or maintain a required license could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company. Furthermore, certain 
regulatory developments such as revisions in building code requirements for 
assisted living facilities, mandatory increases in the scope and quality of 
care to be offered to residents and revisions in licensing and certification 
standards could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be 
no assurance that Federal, state or local laws or regulations will not be 
imposed or expanded which would have a material adverse effect on the 
Company. The Company's operations are also subject to health and other state 
and local government regulations. 

   
   In addition, in most states in which the Company participates in 
government reimbursement programs, the Company's operations are subject to 
Federal and/or state requirements or provisions which prohibit certain 
business practices and relationships that might affect the provision and cost 
of health care services reimbursable under Medicaid. The Company's failure to 
comply with the regulations and requirements applicable to a facility could 
result in the imposition of significant fines and increased costs, a 
revocation of the Company's license to operate that facility, and, if 
sufficiently serious in nature, the inability of the Company to maintain or 
obtain licenses to operate other facilities. Any such event could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business-- Government 
Regulation." 
    

   
   Federal and state anti-remuneration laws, such as the Medicare/Medicaid 
anti-kickback law, govern certain financial arrangements among health care 
providers and others who may be in a position to refer or recommend patients 
to such providers. These laws prohibit, among other things, certain direct 
and indirect payments that are intended to induce the referral of patients 
to, the arranging for services by, or the recommending of, a particular 
provider of healthcare items or services. The Medicare/Medicaid anti-kickback 
law has been broadly interpreted to apply to certain contractual 
relationships between healthcare providers and sources of patient referral. 
Similar state laws vary from state to state, are sometimes vague and seldom 
have been interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies. Violation of these 
laws can result in loss of licensure, civil and criminal penalties, and 
exclusion of healthcare providers or suppliers from 
    


                                      10 
<PAGE> 

   
participation in (i.e., furnishing covered items or services to beneficiaries 
of) the Medicare and Medicaid programs. It is expected that the Company will 
be subject to these laws. There can be no assurance that such laws will be 
interpreted in a manner consistent with the practices of the Company, and any 
interpretation inconsistent with the practices of the Company could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business--Government 
Regulation." 
    

   
   Environmental Risks. Under various Federal, state and local environmental 
laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of 
real property may be held liable for the cost of removal or remediation of 
certain hazardous or toxic substances, including, without limitation, 
asbestos-containing materials, that could be located on, in or under such 
property. As a result, the presence, with or without the Company's knowledge, 
of hazardous or toxic substances at any property held or operated by the 
Company, or acquired or operated by the Company in the future, could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company. Environmental audits performed on 
properties leased or managed by the Company have not revealed any significant 
environmental liability that management believes would have a material 
adverse effect on the Company; however, there can be no assurance that 
existing environmental audits with respect to any of the properties leased or 
managed by the Company have revealed all environmental liabilities. See 
"Business--Government Regulation." 
    

   
   Liability and Insurance. The Company's business entails an inherent risk 
of liability. In recent years, participants in the assisted living and 
long-term care industry, including the Company, have become subject to an 
increasing number of lawsuits alleging negligence or related legal theories, 
many of which involve large claims and significant legal costs. The Company 
is from time to time subject to such suits as a result of the nature of its 
business. The Company currently maintains insurance policies in amounts and 
with such coverage and deductibles as it believes are adequate, based on the 
nature and risks of its business, historical experience and industry 
standards. The Company currently maintains professional liability insurance 
and general liability insurance. There can be no assurance that claims will 
not arise which are in excess of the Company's insurance coverage or are not 
covered by the Company's insurance. Any successful claim against the Company 
not covered by, or in excess of, the Company's insurance could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company. Claims against the Company, 
regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, may also have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's ability to attract residents or expand its 
business and would require management to devote time to matters unrelated to 
the operation of the Company's business. In addition, the Company's insurance 
policies must be renewed annually, and there can be no assurance that the 
Company will be able to continue to obtain liability insurance coverage in 
the future or, if available, that such coverage will be available on 
acceptable terms. See "Business--Insurance." 
    

   
   Dependence on Reimbursement by Third-Party Payors. A portion of the 
Company's revenues from the services it provides for skilled nursing 
facilities will be dependent upon reimbursement from third-party payors, 
including Medicare, state Medicaid programs and private insurers. There can 
be no assurance that the Company's proportionate percentage of revenue 
received from Medicare and Medicaid programs will not increase or that such 
revenues will fully pay the cost of providing services to residents covered 
by Medicare and Medicaid. The revenues and profitability of the Company will 
be affected by the continuing efforts of governmental and private third-party 
payors to contain or reduce the costs of health care by attempting to lower 
reimbursement rates, increasing case management review of services and 
negotiating reduced contract pricing. In an attempt to reduce the Federal and 
certain state budget deficits, there have been, and management expects that 
there will continue to be, a number of proposals to limit Medicare and 
Medicaid reimbursement in general. Adoption of any such proposals at either 
the Federal or the state level could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company. 
    

   
   Certain Anti-takeover Provisions. Certain provisions of the Company's 
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and of Delaware General 
Corporation Law could, together or separately, discourage potential 
acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company 
and limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the 
future for shares of the Common Stock. Certain of these provisions provide 
for the issuance, without further stockholder approval, of preferred stock 
with rights and privileges which could be senior to the Common Stock, the 
payment of a "fair price" (or board approval by continuing directors) in 
connection with certain business combinations with interested stockholders, 
no right of the stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders, 
restrictions on the ability of stockholders to nominate directors and submit 
proposals to be considered at stockholders' meetings, and a super-majority 
voting requirement in connection with the removal of directors and the 
adoption of stockholders' amendments to the By-laws. The Company also is 
subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, subject 
to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any 
of a broad range of business combinations with any "interested stockholder" 
for 
    


                                      11 
<PAGE> 

a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an 
interested stockholder. See "Management" and "Description of Capital Stock." 

   
   Possible Volatility of Stock Price. The market price of the Common Stock 
could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to various factors 
and events, including the liquidity of the market for the Common Stock, 
variations in the Company's operating results, new statutes or regulations or 
changes in the interpretation of existing statutes or regulations affecting 
the healthcare industry, generally, or assisted living companies, in 
particular. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced 
broad price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the 
operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations 
could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock. 
    

   Dividend Policy. The Company has never declared or paid any dividends on 
its Common Stock. The Company expects to retain any earnings to finance the 
operations and expansion of the Company's business. See "Price Range of 
Common Stock and Dividends." 

   
   Immediate and Substantial Dilution. The purchasers of the shares of Common 
Stock offered hereby will experience immediate and substantial dilution in 
the net tangible book value of their shares of Common Stock in the amount of 
$15.17 per share. In the event the Company issues additional shares of Common 
Stock in the future, including shares that may be issued in connection with 
future acquisitions, purchasers of Common Stock in the Offering may 
experience further dilution in the net tangible book value per share of 
Common Stock. See "Dilution."

                                 THE COMPANY 

   
   The Standish Care Company ("Standish") was incorporated in Delaware in 
October 1989. On October 4, 1996, twelve wholly owned subsidiaries of 
Standish were merged into the twelve corporations comprising Pre-Merger 
CareMatrix, owned primarily by Abraham, Andrew and Michael Gosman. The 
stockholders of Pre-Merger CareMatrix received approximately 92% of the 
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. The managements of 
Standish and Pre-Merger CareMatrix determined that a merger of their 
companies would result in a stronger enterprise with greater potential for 
expansion. Furthermore, they believed that the Merger would combine a strong 
base of existing facilities in attractive markets with a large number of 
facilities under development or construction, strengthen the senior 
management team and improve the Company's access to equity and debt capital. 
On October 14, 1996, the Company changed its name to CareMatrix Corporation 
and effected the Reverse Split. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse 
acquisition, whereby Pre-Merger CareMatrix is treated as the acquiror for 
accounting purposes. Accordingly, the financial history of the Company 
presented herein is that of Pre- Merger CareMatrix. 
    

   
   The Company's principal place of business is 197 First Avenue, Needham, 
Massachusetts 02194 and its telephone number at that address is (617) 
433-1000. Unless otherwise indicated herein or required by the context, 
references to the "Company" include its subsidiaries. 
    


                               USE OF PROCEEDS 

   
   The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 6,250,000 shares of 
Common Stock being offered hereby (assuming a public offering price of $21.25 
per share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and 
commissions and offering expenses) are estimated to be approximately 
$123,843,750. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering (i) 
to finance the acquisition and development of additional assisted living and 
other facilities; (ii) to repay outstanding debt to its principal stockholder 
(including accrued interest) in the amount of approximately $21,450,000 at 
June 30, 1996 (used primarily for working capital and, to a lesser extent, 
incurred in connection with the Asset Purchase), which debt bears interest at 
the prime rate (8.25% as of October 1, 1996) payable on demand and the 
principal of which is payable in January 1998; (iii) to redeem the Series B 
Preferred Stock held by the Company's principal stockholder at a redemption 
price of $1,400,000 plus accrued dividends; (iv) to pay dividends in arrears 
on its Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of $214,050; and (v) for 
working capital purposes. Pending use of the net proceeds of the Offering, 
the Company will invest such funds in short-term and medium-term, investment 
grade, interest-bearing obligations. The Company will not receive any 
proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders 
pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters' over- allotment option. See 
"Capitalization" and "Certain Transactions."

   On October 3, 1996, the closing price for the Common Stock as quoted on 
the Nasdaq Small Cap System was $21-1/4 as adjusted to give effect to the 
Reverse Split. Prior to the Offering, however, only a limited number of 
Shares have traded publicly. As of October 3, 1996, there were approximately 
91 stockholders of record. The Common Stock has been approved for listing on 
the American Stock Exchange. 
    

   
   The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common 
Stock since its inception and does not currently plan to declare or pay any 
cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Dividends may 
be paid only out of legally available funds as proscribed by statute, subject 
to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, the 
Company's ability to pay cash dividends is restricted by the provisions of 
its Restated Certificate of Incorporation pertaining to the Series A 
Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, respectively. In that 
regard, no dividends may be paid on any shares of Common Stock unless and 
until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on both the Series A and Series B 
Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full. The Company intends to 
use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to pay the $214,050 of 
accrued but unpaid dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock and to redeem 
all of its Series B Preferred Stock. See "Certain Transactions" and Note Q to 
the Standish Consolidated Financial Statements.

                                   DILUTION 

   
   The Company's pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) as of June 30, 
1996 was $(18,182,000) or $(1.67) per share. Pro forma net tangible book 
value (deficit) per share is determined by dividing the net tangible book 
value (tangible assets less liabilities) of the Company (giving effect to the 
Merger) by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at that date. 
Assuming the receipt by the Company of the net proceeds from the sale of 
6,250,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed offering price 
of $21.25 per share, the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value of the 
Company as of June 30, 1996 would have been $104,048,000 or $6.08 per share. 
This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of 
$7.75 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $15.17 
per share to new investors. All per share amounts have been restated to 
reflect the Reverse Split effective October 14, 1996. The following table 
illustrates this dilution per share:

                  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION 

   
   In connection with the Merger Agreement, Standish issued 10,000,000 shares 
of Standish common stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split) in 
exchange for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Pre- Merger 
CareMatrix. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby 
Pre-Merger CareMatrix is the acquiror for accounting purposes. Accordingly, 
the financial history presented is that of Pre-Merger CareMatrix. Therefore, 
the CareMatrix Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the 
year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996 present 
the CareMatrix Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 
31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996 adjusted for the sale of 
Common Stock offered hereby and the application of the net proceeds 
therefrom, the Reverse Split and the following effects of the Merger: (i) 
increased amortization resulting from goodwill generated in the purchase 
accounting treatment of the Merger, (ii) increased depreciation from the 
recording of Standish fixed assets at fair market value, (iii) increased 
compensation expense to reflect new employment agreements, and (iv) increased 
amortization and depreciation to reflect the Asset Purchase, as if such 
transactions had occurred as of January 1, 1995. The CareMatrix Unaudited Pro 
Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996, presents the CareMatrix 
Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996, adjusted for the sale of Common 
Stock offered hereby and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, the 
Reverse Split and the following effects of the Merger: (i) the value of the 
common stock deemed to be issued by the accounting acquiror, (ii) the 
purchase adjustments, including goodwill generated in the purchase accounting 
treatment of the Merger, (iii) equity and debt transactions of Standish that 
occurred in July 1996 subsequent to the June 30, 1996 balance sheet and (iv) 
the Asset Purchase. 
    

   The CareMatrix Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements do not 
purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would 
have occurred had the Merger and Offering taken place on January 1, 1995, or 
that may be expected to occur in the future. The CareMatrix Unaudited Pro 
Forma Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the 
CareMatrix Combined Financial Statements and the Standish Consolidated 
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

               SELECTED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA OF THE COMPANY 
                    (in thousands, except per share data) 

   
   The following table sets forth the historical combined financial 
information of the Company and pro forma financial information to give effect 
to the Merger, the Asset Purchase and the sale of the Common Stock offered 
hereby. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby 
Pre-Merger CareMatrix is the acquiror for accounting purposes. Accordingly, 
the financial history presented is that of Pre-Merger CareMatrix. The pro 
forma financial information was prepared to illustrate the effects of the 
Merger, the Asset Purchase, the Reverse Split and the Offering. The pro forma 
financial information does not purport to be indicative of the results of 
operations which actually would have occurred had the Merger, the Asset 
Purchase and Offering taken place on January 1, 1995, or which may be 
expected to occur in the future. The pro forma financial information should 
be read in conjunction with the CareMatrix Combined Financial Statements, the 
Standish Consolidated Financial Statements and the Unaudited Pro Forma 
Financial Information included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY 

General 

   
   On October 4, 1996, the Company consummated the Merger. In the Merger, 
Standish, as the surviving company in the Merger, acquired all of the assets 
and operations of Pre-Merger CareMatrix and issued 10,000,000 shares of its 
Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split) to the 
stockholders of Pre-Merger CareMatrix. The Merger was treated as a "reverse 
acquisition" for accounting purposes, with Pre-Merger CareMatrix treated as 
the accounting acquiror, even though Standish was the survivor for legal 
purposes. In a reverse acquisition, the accounting acquiror is treated as the 
surviving entity even though Standish's legal existence does not change and 
the financial statements of the Company reflect the historical financial 
statements of Pre-Merger CareMatrix. The Company, as the accounting acquiror, 
treats the Merger as a purchase acquisition. The Merger was recorded using 
the historical cost basis for the assets and liabilities of Pre-Merger 
CareMatrix, and the estimated fair value of Standish's assets and 
liabilities. 
    


Results of Operations 

   
   The following discussion reviews the Company's results of operations for 
the period from June 24, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994 (the "1994 
Period"), the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 
1996 (the "1996 Period"), respectively. The CareMatrix Combined Financial 
Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus 
present the results of operations of the entities that have been operated 
under common control on a combined basis. All of the operations of the 
Company began subsequent to June 23, 1994. As a result, the Company believes 
that any period to period comparisons and percentage relationships within 
periods are not meaningful. The Company's revenues following the Merger will 
primarily consist of resident and management fees from the facilities it 
owns, leases or manages, and development fees from the facilities it develops 
for related and unrelated parties. The nature and amount of such revenues 
will depend on the Company's ability to implement successfully its strategic 
growth plans. See "Risk Factors" and "Business--Business Strategy." The 
Company expects to incur losses from operations through at least the end of 
1996 and may continue to have losses thereafter. See "Risk Factors--History 
of Losses from Operations; Accumulated Deficit" and "--Dependence by the 
Company on Related Party Agreements." 
    

   
   Revenues. During the 1994 Period, the year ended December 31, 1995 and the 
1996 Period, the Company derived revenues from one or more of the following 
services: the operation of an inpatient extended care facility in Maryland; 
the operation of an outpatient rehabilitation facility in Georgia; and the 
management of two inpatient extended care facilities in Florida. 
    

   Net revenues were $0.4 million for the 1994 Period and consisted of 
revenues attributable to outpatient rehabilitation services. The Company 
purchased the outpatient rehabilitation facility during November 1994. 

   
   Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $2.5 million. Such 
revenues during this period consisted of $1.1 million, or 44%, related to 
outpatient rehabilitation services; and $1.4 million, or 56%, related to 
inpatient nursing services. The Company operated the outpatient 
rehabilitation facility for ten months during 1995 until its closure during 
November 1995. The inpatient nursing facility revenues were for the period 
August 15, 1995 (date of lease inception) to December 31, 1995 for a 138-bed 
extended care facility in Silver Spring, Maryland. 
    

   
   Net revenues for the 1996 Period were $2.4 million. Such revenues during 
this period consisted of $2.2 million, or 92%, related to inpatient nursing 
services; and $0.2 million, or 8%, related to the management of extended care 
facilities. The Company entered into two management agreements during 
December 1995 for the provision of management services to extended care 
facilities in Homestead, Florida and Miami, Florida. 
    

   
   General Corporate Expenses. For the 1994 Period, the year ended December 
31, 1995 and the 1996 Period, expressed as a percentage of net revenues, 
general corporate expenses were 447%, 175% and 114%, respectively. General 
corporate expenses represent primarily salaries, wages and benefits and 
professional fees for administration, marketing and facility development of 
the Company. General corporate expenses will continue to increase in absolute 
terms, but this expense as a percentage of net revenues is expected to 
continue to decline. Historically, these expenses have been paid to a related 
party, Continuum Care of Massachusetts, Inc. in the form of management fees. 
Following the Merger, the Company's reliance on Continuum Care of 
Massachusetts, Inc., for personnel and services has been significantly 
reduced. 
    


                                      24

   Facility Operating Expenses. For the 1994 Period, the year ended December 
31, 1995 and the 1996 Period, expressed as a percentage of net revenues, 
facility operating expenses were 324%, 185% and 115%, respectively. Included 
in facility operating expenses for the 1994 Period is a $0.8 million charge 
recorded to writedown assets at the outpatient rehabilitation facility to 
their net realizable value. Included in facility operating expenses for the 
year ended December 31, 1995 is a $0.9 million charge recorded to provide for 
the remaining lease obligation at the outpatient rehabilitation facility. 
Facility operating expenses also include rent expense of $45,868, $0.6 
million and $0.5 million for the 1994 period, the year ended December 31, 
1995 and the 1996 Period, respectively. The change in rent expense is 
attributable primarily to the ten year lease entered into during August 1995 
for the extended care facility in Silver Spring, Maryland. 
    

   
   Depreciation and Amortization. The Company's depreciation and amortization 
expense was $3,603, $2,931 and $65,164 for the 1994 Period, the year ended 
December 31, 1995 and the 1996 Period, respectively. The increase in 
depreciation represents depreciation on the $1.5 million invested in capital 
improvements from August 15, 1995 (date of lease inception) on the 138-bed 
extended care facility in Silver Spring, Maryland. 
    

   
   Interest Expense. The Company's interest expense was $55,856, $0.5 million 
and $0.6 million for the 1994 period, the year ended December 31, 1995 and 
the 1996 Period, respectively. The increase in interest expense results from 
the interest payable at the prime rate on additional advances from the 
principal stockholder. 
    


Liquidity and Capital Resources 

   Cash used by operating activities was $3.9 million for the 1996 Period and 
is primarily attributable to the loss of $3.7 million for the 1996 Period. 
Cash used by operating activities was $6.0 million for the year ended 
December 31, 1995 and primarily represents the loss of $7.2 million offset by 
the $0.9 million accrual for the remaining lease obligation at the outpatient 
rehabilitation facility. Cash used by operating activities was $2.0 million 
for the 1994 Period and primarily represents the $2.6 million loss offset by 
the $0.8 million charge recorded to write-down assets at the outpatient 
rehabilitation facility to their net realizable value. 

   Cash used by investing activities was $1.5 million for the 1996 Period. 
This primarily represents the $0.8 million used by the Company for capital 
expenditures for the 138-bed extended care facility in Silver Spring, 
Maryland and the $0.7 million note receivable advanced pursuant to a 
management agreement with an extended care facility in Miami, Florida. Cash 
used by investing activities was $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 
1995 and primarily represents capital expenditures for the 138-bed extended 
care facility in Silver Spring, Maryland. 

   Cash used by investing activities was $0.7 million for the 1994 Period and 
primarily represents the cash required to purchase an outpatient 
rehabilitation facility in Atlanta, Georgia. Cash provided by financing 
activities was $2.7 million, $6.9 million and $7.3 million for the 1994 
Period, the year ended December 31, 1995 and the 1996 Period, respectively, 
and represents the advances from the principal stockholder. 

   
   At June 30, 1996, the Company's principal source of liquidity consisted of 
$2.0 million in cash. The Company also had $2.0 million of current 
liabilities (which includes approximately $1.2 million of interest due to the 
Company's principal stockholder). The Company intends to seek additional 
financing from Abraham D. Gosman to the extent necessary for working capital 
purposes prior to the Offering, although Mr. Gosman is under no obligation to 
provide such additional financing. It is expected that once the Offering is 
completed, Mr. Gosman will no longer provide funding for the Company. All 
loans from Mr. Gosman bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate. 
    

   
   On a pro forma basis after the Merger and Offering and the application of 
the net proceeds of the Offering as set forth in "Use of Proceeds," the 
Company will have working capital of $98.9 million (including cash and cash 
equivalents of $104.1 million). In addition, the Company will have $10.5 
million of long-term debt. 
    

   
   The Company will require resources in the future to fund the planned 
acquisition and development of additional assisted living, supportive 
independent and extended care facilities as well as its working capital 
requirements. The Company expects to fund these resource requirements with 
the net proceeds from the Offering and related party or third party financing 
of certain assisted living facilities. The Company and Chancellor are 
presently in discussions with a number of parties to secure commitments 
regarding sources of additional financing. Furthermore, the Company intends 
to seek bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings to provide 
additional sources of capital in the future. See "Risk Factors--Need for 
Additional Financing."

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF STANDISH 

Overview 

   Organized in October 1989, Standish operates assisted living communities 
throughout the eastern United States and provides management, marketing, 
development and other services to third party owners of assisted living 
communities. Standish has achieved significant growth in revenues, primarily 
by acquiring existing senior living communities and by providing management, 
marketing, development and other services to communities owned by third 
parties. Prior to the Merger, Standish operated ten communities for its own 
account with a resident capacity of 516, and provided managing and marketing 
services for four communities with a resident capacity of 385. 

   On March 25, 1996, Standish received approximately $825,000 in back 
management fees, prior investments and advances in connection with the 
refinancing and sale by a third party owner of the Fox Ridge Manor community 
located in Dover, Pennsylvania. Standish recorded a gain of approximately 
$596,000 related to this transaction in the first quarter of 1996. That 
community had been owned by Senior Lifestyles, Inc. ("SLI"), a third party, 
and Standish had managed that community for SLI since July 1992. Standish has 
been retained by the new owner, Northwood Retirement Community, Inc. 
("Northwood"), a Pennsylvania not-for-profit corporation, to manage the Fox 
Ridge community under a three year management agreement (with two 1 year 
renewable options). Standish expects to receive management fees in a fixed 
monthly amount of approximately $5,200 plus an additional incentive 
management fee of approximately 2% of monthly operating revenues during the 
term of its new management agreement. Under certain circumstances, the fixed 
and incentive management fees may be subordinate to payments due certain 
holders of bonds issued in connection with the acquisition of Fox Ridge by 
the new owner. In connection with these transactions, SLI bonds in the face 
amount of $900,000 (the "Group A SLI Bonds") resold by Standish to an 
investor group in 1993 and guaranteed by Standish as to the payment of 
interest and principal, were refinanced and exchanged for new subordinated 
1996 Series C Bonds in the face amount of $800,000. Of these bonds, $750,000 
face amount are held for the benefit of the investor group and $50,000 are 
held for the benefit of Standish. Standish has provided credit enhancement 
commitments to the investor group with respect to the $750,000 1996 Series C 
bonds. See Notes C, G and R to the Standish Consolidated Financial 
Statements. 

   The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 
include the accounts of Standish, Bailey Retirement Center, Inc. ("Bailey"), 
an assisted living community in Gainesville, Florida that Standish acquired 
in July 1992, Dominion Villages, Inc. ("Dominion"), a chain of three assisted 
living communities in the Tidewater, Virginia area which Standish acquired in 
November 1993, Lowry Village, Inc. ("Lowry"), a stand-alone Alzheimer's 
facility in Tampa, Florida which Standish acquired in January 1994, Piedmont 
Villages, Inc. ("Piedmont"), a chain of three assisted living facilities in 
North Carolina that Standish acquired in March 1994, Bailey Home Suites 
("Bailey Suites"), an assisted living community in Gainesville, Florida that 
Standish began leasing in September 1994 and Lakes Region, L.L.C. ("Sunny 
Knoll"). Standish and Emeritus Corporation ("Emeritus"), through a limited 
liability company, acquired 51% and 49% ownership interests, respectively, in 
the Sunny Knoll community located in Franklin, New Hampshire in May 1995. 

   The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 
include the accounts of Standish, Bailey, Dominion, Lowry, Piedmont and 
Bailey Suites. The results of operations also include the accounts of Sunny 
Knoll for the period May 1, 1995 to June 30, 1995.

Results of Operations 
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 

   
   Revenues. Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 were 
$4,670,000, representing an increase of $689,000, or 17%, from revenues of 
approximately $3,981,000 in the comparable period in 1995. 
    

   Service revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was 
$4,380,000, representing an increase of $862,000, or 25%, from service 
revenue of $3,518,000 in the comparable period in 1995. Of this increase, 
$369,000 was attributable to service revenue for the Sunny Knoll community 
acquired by Standish in May 1995 and thus not fully reflected in Standish's 
results for the first two quarters of 1995. The $493,000 balance of this 
increase in service revenue was primarily attributable to higher service 
revenues at certain of the communities operated by Standish throughout the 
period, primarily due to increased resident census and higher average service 
fee rates at these communities. 

   Management fees and marketing revenue for the six month period ended June 
30, 1996 was $213,000, representing a decrease of $92,000, or 30%, from 
management fees and marketing revenue of $305,000 in the comparable period in 
1995. The higher management fees and marketing revenue during the 1995 
comparable period was attributable primarily to $100,000 of management fee 
revenue Standish recorded during the second quarter of 1995 related to 
Crystal Cove, a senior living community in Florida. These management fees 
reflect a partial recovery of $132,000 of management fees related to Crystal 
Cove which Standish had written off in 1992. Standish resigned as manager of 
Crystal Cove during the second quarter of 1995.

   Development fees and other revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 
1996 was $77,000, representing a decrease of $81,000, or 51%, from 
development fees and other revenue of $158,000 in the comparable period in 
1995. Development fees and other revenue for the six month period ended June 
30, 1996 was primarily comprised of fees associated with one assisted living 
community being developed in Cambridge, Massachusetts while development fees 
and other revenue in the comparable period in 1995 was primarily related to 
fees associated with assisted living communities being developed in 
Pikesville, Maryland, Cambridge, Massachusetts and the Laurelmead community 
which was co-developed by Standish and Cornish Realty Associates, L.P. 
("Cornish") in Providence, Rhode Island. 

   
   Community Operating Expense. Community operating expense for the six month 
period ended June 30, 1996 was $3,208,000, representing an increase of 
$458,000, or 17%, from community operating expense of $2,750,000 in the 
comparable period in 1995. As a percentage of service revenue, community 
operating expense decreased to 73.2% for the six month period ended June 30, 
1996, versus 78.2% in the comparable period in 1995. Of the increase in the 
amount of community operating expense, $255,000 was attributable to community 
operating expense for the Sunny Knoll community acquired by Standish in May 
1995 and thus not fully reflected in Standish's results for the first two 
quarters of 1995. The $203,000 remaining increase in community operating 
expense was primarily attributable to increased community operating expense 
at Standish's Piedmont and Bailey communities. The increase in community 
operating expense at Piedmont was primarily due to an increase in census 
while the increase at Bailey was primarily due to increases in staffing. 
    

   
   Community Rent Expense. Community rent expense represents lease payments 
Standish is required to make under operating leases at its Piedmont Villages 
and Bailey Suites communities. Community rent expense for the six month 
period ended June 30, 1996 was $304,000, representing an increase of $32,000, 
or 12%, from community rent expense of $272,000 in the comparable period in 
1995. As a percentage of service revenue, community rent expense decreased to 
6.9% for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, versus 7.7% in the 
comparable period in 1995. The increase in the amount of community rent 
expense is primarily due to increased lease advances in connection with the 
expansion of Standish's Statesville, North Carolina community. The decrease 
in community rent expense as a percentage of service revenue was primarily 
due to the allocation of these expenses over increased levels of total 
revenues for the first two quarters of 1996. 
    

   
   Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and 
administrative expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was 
$931,000, representing a decrease of $225,000, or 19%, from selling, general 
and administrative expense of $1,156,000 in the comparable period in 1995. As 
a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expense 
decreased to 19.9% for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, versus 29.0% 
in the comparable period in 1995. The decrease in the amount of selling, 
general and administrative expense for the six month period ended June 30, 
1996 versus the comparable period in 1995 was due primarily to decreases in 
salaries, recruitment costs, consulting costs, marketing and public relations 
costs and travel and related costs. The decrease in selling, general and 
administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was due to reduced 
spending and the allocation of these expenses over increased levels of total 
revenues for the first two quarters of 1996. 
    

   
   Transaction Termination Costs. Transaction termination costs were $186,000 
for the six month period June 30, 1996. These costs represent legal, 
accounting, travel and other related costs primarily associated with the 
proposed merger between Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS") and 
Standish. In February 1996, IHS informed Standish that it was terminating 
their business combination discussions. Transaction termination costs also 
include legal, accounting, travel and other related costs associated with the 
proposed merger between Emeritus and Standish. In May 1996, Standish informed 
Emeritus that it was terminating those merger discussions. Standish and 
Emeritus could not agree on an exchange ratio. 
    

   
   Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization 
expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was approximately 
$393,000, representing an increase of $72,000, or 22%, from depreciation and 
amortization expense of $321,000 in the comparable period in 1995. As a 
percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased 
to 8.4% for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, versus 8.1% in the 
comparable period in 1995. Of the increase in the amount of depreciation and 
amortization expense, $34,000 was attributable to depreciation and 
amortization expense for the Sunny Knoll community acquired by Standish in 
May 1995 and thus not fully reflected in Standish's results for the first two 
quarters of 1995. The increase in the amount of depreciation and amortization 
expense was also attributable to higher depreciation and amortization 
    


                                      29 
<PAGE> 

expense at Dominion due to certain additions at those facilities during the 
six month period ended June 30, 1996 versus the comparable period in 1995. 
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was also attributable 
to amortization of a non-compete agreement with a former director and officer 
of Standish. 

   
   Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 
1996 was $824,000, representing an increase of $146,000, or 22%, from 
interest expense of $678,000 for the comparable period in 1995. As a 
percentage of total revenues, interest expense was 17.6% for the six month 
period ended June 30, 1996, versus 17.1% for the comparable period in 1995. 
The increase in the amount of interest expense is attributable primarily to 
interest expense due to increased borrowings associated with Dominion 
Village, and interest expense associated with the acquisition of Sunny Knoll 
which was acquired on May 1, 1995. 
    

   
   Interest Income. Interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 
1996 was $29,000, representing a decrease of $52,000, or 64%, compared to 
interest income of $81,000 in the comparable period in 1995. As a percentage 
of total revenues, interest income was 0.6% for the six month period ended 
June 30, 1996, versus 2.0% in the comparable period in 1995. Interest income 
for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 represents interest earned on 
cash and cash equivalents. Interest income for the six month period ended 
June 30, 1995 is primarily comprised of the accrued preferred return at the 
rate of 15% per annum on Standish's investment in Laurelmead. 
    

   
   Other Income. Other income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 
was $696,000. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is 
primarily composed of cash received for previously reserved management fees 
and certain investments in SLI which Standish received in connection with the 
sale and financing of Fox Ridge Manor to Northwood and the refinancing of 
that community's related debt. Other income also represents Standish's 
portion of the proceeds to which it is entitled in connection with the sale 
of The Pines of Tewksbury community by Emeritus to a third party. In addition 
to its development, management and marketing contracts and its rights to 15% 
of excess cash flow, Standish owns a 15% residual interest to share in the 
proceeds of a sale or refinancing of The Pines of Tewksbury community. 
    

   
   Minority Interest. Minority interest for the six month period ended June 
30, 1996 was $48,000, representing a decrease of $2,000, or 4% versus $50,000 
in the comparable period in 1995. As a percentage of total revenues, minority 
interest was 1.0% for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, versus 1.3% 
for the comparable period in 1995. 
    

   
Year ended December 31, 1995 Compared to the Year ended December 31, 1994 
    

   
   Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $8,436,000, 
representing an increase of $1,727,000, or 26%, from revenues of $6,709,000 
in 1994. 
    

   Service revenue for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $7,702,000, 
representing an increase of $1,575,000, or 26%, from service revenue of 
$6,127,000 in 1994. Of this increase, $808,000 was attributable to the 
acquisition of Sunny Knoll consummated in May 1995 and $142,000 was 
attributable to the acquisition of Bailey Suites consummated in September 
1994. The remaining $625,000 increase in service revenue was attributable to 
an increase in service revenue of communities operated by Standish throughout 
both years. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in resident 
census and higher average rates charged for services provided at these 
communities. Partially offsetting these increases was a $299,000 decrease in 
service revenue at Standish Lowry community. This decrease was primarily 
attributable to a significant decrease in the census at this facility. 

   Management fees and marketing revenue for the year ended December 31, 1995 
was $512,000, representing an increase of $235,000, or 85%, from management 
fee and marketing revenue of $277,000 in 1994. The increase in management 
fees and marketing revenue in 1995 was primarily due to increased management 
and marketing fees on certain of Standish management agreements due to 
increased occupancy at these facilities. The increase was also attributable 
to $100,000 of management fees Standish received related to Crystal Cove, a 
senior living community in Florida. The management fees reflect a partial 
recovery of $132,000 of management fees related to Crystal Cove which 
Standish had written off in 1992. Standish resigned as Manager of Crystal 
Cove during the second quarter of 1995. 

   Development fees and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 1995 
was $222,000, representing a decrease of $83,000, or 27%, from development 
fee revenue of $305,000 in 1994. The decrease in development fee revenue was 
primarily attributable to certain development contracts which expired during 
1995 in which 

                                      30 
<PAGE> 

Standish completed its responsibilities under these development contracts. 
These expired contracts were partially offset by two new development 
contracts Standish acquired during 1995. 

   
   Community Operating Expense. Community operating expense for the year 
ended December 31, 1995 was $5,961,000, representing an increase of $919,000, 
or 18%, from community operating expense of $5,042,000 in 1994. As a 
percentage of service revenue, community operating expense was 77.4% and 
82.3% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Of the 
$919,000 increase in the amount of community operating expense, $410,000 was 
attributable to the Sunny Knoll acquisition which was consummated in May 1995 
and $54,000 was attributable to the Bailey Suites lease which began in 
September 1994. The remaining $455,000 increase was attributable to an 
increase in community operating expense of communities operated by Standish 
throughout both years, primarily due to increases in resident occupancy at 
these communities. The decrease in community operating expense as a 
percentage of service revenue was due primarily to the acquisition of Sunny 
Knoll and improved operating margins at the Bailey, Dominion and Piedmont 
communities and to increased occupancy at certain of Standish's communities. 
    

   
   Community Rent Expense. Community rent expense represents lease payments 
Standish is required to make under operating leases at Piedmont Village and 
Bailey Suites. Community rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 
was $616,000, representing an increase of $209,000, or 51%, from community 
rent expense of $407,000 in 1994. As a percentage of service revenue, 
community rent expense was 8.0% and 6.6% for the years ended December 31, 
1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in the amount of community rent 
expense is due primarily to the timing of both the Piedmont acquisition 
(consummated in March 1994) and the Bailey Suites acquisition (consummated in 
September 1994). 
    

   
   Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and 
administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $2,347,000, 
representing a decrease of $162,000, or 6%, from selling, general and 
administrative expense of $2,509,000 in 1994. As a percentage of total 
revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was 27.8% and 37.4% for 
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in the 
amount of selling, general and administrative expense was primarily 
attributable to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits, professional 
fees, travel and related costs, public relations, printing and consulting 
costs. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense as a 
percentage of total revenues was due to lower spending levels in 1995 and the 
allocation of these expenses over increased levels of total revenues in 1995. 
    

   
   Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization 
expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $680,000, representing a 
decrease of $13,000, or 2%, from depreciation and amortization expense of 
$693,000 in 1994. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and 
amortization expense was 8.1% and 10.3% for the years ended December 31, 1995 
and 1994, respectively. The decrease in the amount of depreciation and 
amortization expense was primarily due to a decrease in the amount of 
corporate depreciation and amortization expense. This decrease was due to the 
write-off of capitalized SLI management contract costs as of December 31, 
1994. Due to the write-off of those contract costs, no amortization expense 
of the contract costs was recorded during 1995. Standish recorded 
approximately $79,000 of amortization expense related to these contract costs 
in 1994. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation 
and amortization expense of approximately $66,000 related to Sunny Knoll 
which acquisition was consummated in May 1995. The decrease in depreciation 
and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues was due primarily 
to the allocation of these expenses over increased levels of total revenues 
in 1995. 
    

   
   Provision for Corporate Doubtful Accounts. Provision for corporate 
doubtful accounts for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $74,000, 
representing a decrease of $264,000, or 78%, from provision for corporate 
doubtful accounts of $338,000 in 1994. As a percentage of total revenues, 
provision for doubtful accounts was .9% and 5.0% for the years ended December 
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in provision for corporate 
doubtful accounts as a percentage of total revenues was due to a lower level 
of write-offs and the allocation of these expenses over increased levels of 
total revenues. 
    

   
   Severance Costs. Severance costs represents the cost associated with an 
Early Retirement and Non- Competition Agreement Standish entered into 
effective December 31, 1995 with a former officer and director of Standish. 
Severance costs for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $263,000 versus 
none in 1994. 
    

   
   Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 
was $1,500,000, representing an increase of $391,000, or 35%, from interest 
expense of $1,109,000 in 1994. As a percentage of total revenues, 
    


                                      31 
<PAGE> 

interest expense was 17.7% and 16.5% for the years ended December 31, 1995 
and 1994, respectively. The increase in the amount of interest expense was 
due primarily to increased interest expense on increased borrowings for 
working capital purposes primarily derived from the convertible debentures 
sold to Emeritus and borrowings associated with Standish's acquisition of 
Sunny Knoll in May 1995. 

   
   Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was 
$153,000, representing an increase of $133,000, or 665%, from the interest 
income of $20,000 in 1994. As a percentage of total revenues, interest income 
was 1.8% and 0.3% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
respectively. The increase in the amount of interest income was primarily due 
to interest associated with Standish's investment in Cornish which earns 
interest at the rate of 15% per annum. 
    

   
   Write-off of financing costs and other related costs. Write-off of 
financing costs and other related costs of approximately $528,000 for the 
year ended December 31, 1995 represents legal, accounting, printing, due 
diligence and other related costs Standish incurred in connection with a 
proposed financing and its then proposed related acquisition of the Green 
Meadows communities pursuant to the "Green Meadows Agreement." Write-off of 
financing costs and other related costs for the year ended December 31, 1995 
were $528,000 versus none in 1994. 
    

   In September 1995, Standish decided not to proceed with its financing and 
also assigned its rights and obligations to the Green Meadows Agreement to 
Emeritus. As such, Standish wrote off the costs associated with both its 
proposed financing and the Green Meadows Agreement. 

   
   Assignment fee from Related Party. Assignment fee from related party 
represents the fee Standish recognized for assigning its rights and 
obligations to the Green Meadows Agreement to Emeritus. Assignment fee from 
related party for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $1,000,000 versus none 
in 1994. 
    

   
   Minority Interest. Minority interest for the year ended December 31, 1995 
was $87,000, representing an increase of $56,000, or 181%, from minority 
interest of $31,000 in 1994. As a percentage of total revenues, minority 
interest was 1.0% and .4% for the years ended December 1995 and 1994, 
respectively. The increase in the amount of minority interest is due to 
increased losses in 1995 at Lowry. Standish owns 80% of Lowry. These losses 
were partially offset by income from Sunny Knoll. Standish owns 51% of Sunny 
Knoll. 
    


Year ended December 31, 1994 Compared to the Year ended December 31, 1993 

   
   Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $6,709,000, 
representing an increase of $4,978,000, or 288%, from revenues of $1,731,000 
in 1993. 
    

   Service revenue for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $6,127,000, 
representing an increase of $4,934,000, or 414%, from service revenue of 
$1,193,000 in the comparable period in 1993. Of this increase, $4.7 million 
was attributable to acquisitions consummated by Standish either during the 
fourth quarter of 1993 or during the first quarter of 1994. The remaining 
$200,000 increase in service revenue was attributable to an increase in 
service revenue at communities operated by Standish throughout both periods. 
This increase was primarily attributable to growth in resident census and 
higher average rates charged for services provided at those communities. 

   Management fees and marketing revenue for the year ended December 31, 1994 
were $277,000, representing a decrease of $164,000, or 37%, from management 
fees and marketing revenue of $441,000 in 1993. The decrease in management 
fees was primarily attributable to a decrease of $163,000 from 1993 to 1994 
in the management fees recorded by Standish under its management contract 
with SLI. The decrease in management fees was attributable also to the 
expiration of a management and marketing contract on December 31, 1993 and 
the termination of a management contract at another facility, also in 
December 1993. These decreases in management fees were offset in part by 
certain new management contracts which began generating revenue in 1994. 

   Development fees and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 1994 
was $305,000, representing an increase of $208,000, or 214%, from development 
fee revenue of $97,000 in 1993. Of this increase, $128,000 was a development 
fee recorded by Standish in connection with development services provided by 
it at Laurelmead. The remaining increase was attributable to various other 
new development contracts which Standish entered into during 1994. 

   
   Community Operating Expense. Community operating expense for the year 
ended December 31, 1994 was $5,042,000, representing an increase of 
$4,029,000, or 398%, from community operating expense of $1,013,000 in 1993. 
As a percentage of service revenue, community operating expense was 82.3% and 
84.9% for the years 
    


                                      32 
<PAGE> 

ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Of the $4,029,000 increase in 
the amount of community operating expense, approximately $3,600,000 was 
attributable to the Dominion Village acquisition, which was consummated 
during the fourth quarter of 1993, and the Lowry and Piedmont Villages 
acquisitions, which were consummated during the first quarter of 1994. The 
remainder of the increase reflects an increase in community operating expense 
of communities operated by Standish throughout both years, primarily due to 
increases in resident occupancy at those communities. The decrease in 
community operating expense as percentage of service revenue was due 
primarily to improved operating margins at the Dominion Village and Bailey 
communities and to increased occupancy at these communities. 

   
   Community Rent Expense. Community rent expense for the year ended December 
31, 1994 was $407,000. Standish did not incur any community rent expense in 
1993. As a percentage of service revenue, community rent expense was 6.6% for 
the year ended December 31, 1994. 
    

   
   Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and 
administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $2,509,000, 
representing an increase of $996,000, or 66%, from selling, general and 
administrative expense of $1,513,000 in 1993. As a percentage of total 
revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was 37.4% and 87.4% for 
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Approximately 
$600,000 of the amount of the increase in selling, general and administrative 
expense was attributable to increased salaries, wages, related payroll taxes 
and benefits for the additional personnel required to support Standish's 
significantly increased volume of business. The increase was also due to 
increased legal and printing costs of $228,000, increased marketing and 
public relations costs of approximately $177,000, and higher travel and 
related costs of approximately $101,000, all due to the increased levels of 
revenues in 1994. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense 
as a percentage of net revenues was due to the allocation of these expenses 
over increased levels of total revenues in 1994. 
    

   
   Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization 
expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $693,000, representing an 
increase of $410,000, or 145%, from depreciation and amortization expense of 
$283,000 in 1993. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and 
amortization expense were 10.3% and 16.3% for the years ended December 31, 
1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in the amount of depreciation 
expense in 1994 as compared to 1993 was due almost entirely to depreciation 
and amortization expense associated with the Dominion Villages acquisition 
Standish consummated in the fourth quarter of 1993 and the Lowry and Piedmont 
Village acquisitions consummated in the first quarter of 1994. The decrease 
in depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total revenues 
was due to the allocation of these expenses over increased levels of total 
revenues in 1994. 
    

   
   Provision For Corporate Doubtful Accounts. Provisions for corporate 
doubtful accounts for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $338,000, 
representing an increase of $98,000, or 41%, from provisions for corporate 
doubtful accounts of $240,000 in 1993. As a percentage of total revenues, 
provisions for corporate doubtful accounts was 5.0% and 13.9% for the years 
ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The $338,000 of write-offs 
and provisions for doubtful accounts in 1994 was related primarily to 
write-offs of fees deemed uncollectible in connection with Standish's SLI 
management contract. The entire $240,000 of write-offs and provisions for 
doubtful accounts in 1993 was comprised of fees which were deemed 
uncollectible in connection with Standish's SLI management contract. 
    

   
   Write-off of Investment in Development Projects. Write-off of investment 
in development projects for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $833,000. 
The write-off of investments in development projects related to write-offs of 
investments in developments in which Standish either was no longer holding an 
interest or in which the estimated realizable value had significantly 
decreased. No such write-off of investment in development projects was 
incurred in the comparable period in 1993. As a percentage of total revenues, 
write-off of investment in development projects was 12.4% for the year ended 
December 31, 1994. 
    

   
   Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 
was $1,109,000, representing an increase of $757,000, or 215%, from interest 
expense of $352,000 in 1993. As a percentage of total revenues, interest 
expense was 16.5% and 20.3% for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, 
respectively. The increase in the amount of interest expense was attributable 
primarily to interest expense associated with three acquisitions Standish 
consummated in the fourth quarter of 1993 and the first quarter of 1994. The 
decrease in interest expense as a 
    


                                      33 
<PAGE> 

percentage of total revenues was attributable to the allocation of this 
expense over increased levels of total revenues in 1994. 

   
   Gain on Sale of Interest in Affiliate and Other Assets. In 1994, Standish 
did not record a gain on sale of interest in affiliate and other assets. In 
1993, Standish resold the Group C SLI Bonds and recognized a gain of 
$158,000. Standish also sold a parcel of land in 1993. The total gain with 
respect to this transaction was $597,000, of which $221,000 was deferred as 
this portion of the sales proceeds was received in the form of a note. 
    

   
Liquidity and Capital Resources 
    

   Since its inception, Standish has experienced working capital and 
liquidity deficiencies. Standish has provided for its working capital and 
liquidity needs through sales of securities in the public markets, including 
its initial public offering of Common Stock in February 1992 and its public 
offering of Convertible Preferred Stock in September and October 1993, 
through private placements of debt and equity securities and through the sale 
of assets for cash, as well as through the deferral of certain payables and 
preferred stock dividends. Some of these transactions were with affiliated 
parties. 

   Cash and equivalents at June 30, 1996 were approximately $356,000 compared 
to approximately $368,000 at December 31, 1995, a decrease of $12,000, or 3%. 
At June 30, 1996, Standish had a working capital deficit of approximately 
$3,474,000 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,584,000 at December 
31, 1995. 

   During the six months ended June 30, 1996, Standish financed its working 
capital and general corporate needs primarily through four sources: (i) 
approximately $825,000 in back management fees and related investments from 
the refinancing of Fox Ridge Manor; (ii) $500,000 in connection with a $1.0 
million promissory note between Standish and Pre-Merger CareMatrix (the 
balance of $500,000 was received on July 10, 1996); (iii) $300,000 in 
connection with its assignment of the Green Meadows communities to Emeritus 
and (iv) $250,000 in connection with a promissory note between Standish and 
IHS. 

   Standish used the proceeds from these sources (counting only the initial 
$500,000 borrowed from Pre-Merger CareMatrix on June 4, 1996) approximately 
as follows: (i) $626,000 to reduce accounts payable including certain 
professional fee payments; (ii) $509,000 to fund the working capital needs of 
Standish; (iii) $180,000 to pay down existing debt; (iv) $171,000 to fund 
interest payments associated with Standish's convertible debentures; (v) 
$200,000 to fund a line of credit to Northwood in connection with Standish's 
management of Fox Ridge Manor and to fund other costs associated with the Fox 
Ridge transaction; (vi) $104,000 to fund additions to property, plant and 
equipment; and (vii) $97,000 for other corporate and community matters. 

   
   On July 10, 1996, Pre-Merger CareMatrix funded the second installment of 
$500,000 in connection with its promissory note with Standish. On July 30, 
1996, through the issuance and sale to Abraham D. Gosman for $14,000 per 
share, or $1.4 million in the aggregate, Standish issued 100 shares of its 
newly created Series B Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $14,000 
per share. Standish used a portion of the proceeds from the share issuance to 
repay the promissory note of $1.0 million and obtained an additional $400,000 
to be used for working capital purposes. The Series B Preferred Stock is 
redeemable by Standish at any time after December 1, 1996 at $14,000 per 
share plus accrued dividends provided that the market price of the Common 
Stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price ($20.80, adjusted to give effect 
to the Reverse Split) then in effect for twenty consecutive trading days. The 
Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to a quarterly dividend of $350 per 
share with quarterly dividend payments on each of December 31, March 31, June 
30 and September 30. Concurrently with the issuance of the Series B Preferred 
Stock, Standish issued five year warrants to the purchaser to purchase 80,000 
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $20.80 per share (as adjusted 
to give effect to the Reverse Split). 
    

   
   At June 30, 1994, Standish had outstanding 782,350 shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock. Effective July 1, 1994, Standish consummated an Exchange 
Offer (the "Offer") pursuant to which it exchanged shares of its Common Stock 
for shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered. Subsequent to the Offer, 
there were 128,050 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. The Offer 
had the effect of decreasing Standish's quarterly dividend requirement on the 
Series A Preferred Stock from $195,588 to $32,013. Since issuing the Series A 
Preferred Stock in September 1993, Standish has failed to make eight 
quarterly dividend payments. Series A Preferred Stockholders who tendered 
their shares in the Offer forfeited any right to a dividend for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1994. At September 30, 1995, Standish was in arrears on four 
quarterly dividends of approximately $32,013, or approximately $128,050 in 
the aggregate. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, should 
Standish fail to pay any portion of the 
    


                                      34 
<PAGE> 

   
quarterly dividend on its Series A Preferred Stock on four separate payment 
dates, whether or not consecutively, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock 
would be entitled to voting rights, including the election of directors. 
These voting rights became effective on September 30, 1995 when Standish's 
Board of Directors voted to omit the dividend for the quarter ended September 
30, 1995, the fourth such dividend which had been omitted. In addition, each 
quarterly dividend not paid results in a $1.25 reduction in the initial 
$20.00 per share conversion price (as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split). 
The conversion price at June 30, 1996 was $16.25 per share, as adjusted to 
reflect the Reverse Split (subject to anti-dilution adjustments). 
    

   
   As of June 30, 1996, Standish had financed three acquisition transactions 
involving seven communities with Health Care REIT in the aggregate amount of 
$10.75 million. These transactions were structured so that the assets were 
acquired by Health Care REIT and leased to Standish under either operating 
lease or capital lease arrangements. Health Care REIT may have a right to 
provide financing for future acquisitions completed by Standish up to an 
aggregate additional amount of $19.25 million. Under the terms of the 
agreement, Health Care REIT is entitled to receive a warrant to purchase one 
pre-Reverse Split shares of Common Stock at an exercise price which is 
currently $4.16 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments), for every 
$300 advanced. In March 1995, Standish agreed to re-price all pre-Reverse 
Split warrants previously granted to Health Care REIT from $7.09 to $4.16 per 
share (or from $35.45 to $20.80 per share, as adjusted to give effect to the 
Reverse Split). To date, Standish has granted Health Care REIT, on account of 
such financing, warrants to purchase approximately 7,167 shares of Common 
Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split). The warrants are 
exercisable from five to ten years from the date of issuance, subject to 
extension under certain circumstances.

related to the debt coverage ratio requirements associated with its Dominion, 
Lowry and Piedmont lease agreements), see Note I to the Standish Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

                                   BUSINESS 

Overview 

   
   CareMatrix Corporation (the "Company") (formerly known as The Standish 
Care Company) is a provider of assisted living services, operating 20 
facilities in nine states with a capacity of approximately 1,580 residents. 
Of these facilities, two are owned, nine are leased and nine are managed. The 
Company's three year growth objective is to develop at least 60 new 
facilities, with a capacity of approximately 7,200 residents, and to acquire 
additional assisted living facilities or operations. Currently, the Company 
is developing 28 facilities, of which four facilities are now under 
construction. The Company's strategy is to provide a full range of assisted 
living and related services across a range of pricing options. 
    

   
   The Company believes that it can effectively and efficiently respond to a 
variety of the needs of seniors as they age and require additional care. The 
Company expects its assisted living facilities to serve as the foundation 
from which it will provide a continuum of care for its residents. When its 
assisted living facilities are integrated with supportive independent living 
facilities, skilled nursing/rehabilitation facilities and Alzheimer's care 
programs, the Company believes that it will have the ability to provide a 
less stressful transition for those of its residents who need a higher degree 
of care to more supportive environments either within the same facility, in a 
campus setting or in a nearby facility. The Company believes that by offering 
such a continuum of care to its residents, it will be better able to respond 
to resident needs than free-standing assisted living facilities that do not 
provide the flexibility for their residents to age in place. 
    

   
   The Company intends to provide at all of its assisted living facilities a 
full range of quality senior residential services that are designed to permit 
residents to age in place by meeting their evolving personal and health care 
needs. To accomplish this objective, the Company is developing comprehensive 
service packages and integrated campuses that the Company believes will 
enable it to become a leading provider of assisted living services to seniors 
within a fully integrated matrix of social and healthcare service models. 
    


Assisted Living Industry 

   
   The Company believes that the assisted living industry is evolving as the 
preferred alternative to meet the growing demands for a cost effective 
setting for those seniors who cannot live independently due to physical or 
cognitive frailties but who do not require the more intensive medical 
attention provided by a skilled nursing facility. According to industry 
estimates, the assisted and independent living industries generated 
approximately $10 billion to $12 billion in revenues in 1995. 
    

   
   Generally, assisted living represents a combination of housing and 24-hour 
per day personal support services designed to assist seniors with the 
activities of daily living ("ADLs"), which include bathing, eating, personal 
hygiene, grooming, ambulating and dressing. Certain assisted living 
facilities may offer higher levels of personal assistance for residents with 
Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. 
    

   
   The Company believes that few assisted living operators provide a 
comprehensive range of assisted living services in conjunction with other 
levels of services ranging from supportive independent living to skilled 
nursing care and short-term rehabilitation. The Company intends to provide 
this range of services that will enable seniors to age in place within a 
facility, an integrated campus or a cluster market region. 
    

   
   The Company believes that a number of factors will allow assisted living 
companies to continue as one of the fastest growing segments of senior care: 
    

   Consumer Preference. The Company believes that assisted living is 
increasingly becoming the setting preferred by prospective residents as well 
as their families, who are often the decision makers for seniors. Assisted 
living is a cost effective alternative to other types of facilities, offers 
seniors greater independence and allows them to age in place in a residential 
setting. 

   Cost Effectiveness. The average annual cost for a patient in a skilled 
nursing home approaches $40,000. The average cost for a private pay patient 
in a skilled nursing home can exceed $75,000 per year in certain markets. In 
contrast, assisted living services are provided at a cost which is generally 
30% to 50% lower than skilled nursing facilities located in the same region. 
Additionally, the Company also believes that the cost of assisted living 
services compares favorably with home health care particularly when costs 
associated with housing, meals and personal care assistance are taken into 
account. 

   Demographics and Changing Family Dynamics. The target market for the 
Company's services are persons generally 75 years and older, one of the 
fastest growing segments of the U.S. population. According to the U.S. Census 

                                      36 
<PAGE> 

   
Bureau, the portion of the U.S. population age 75 and older is expected to 
increase by 28.7%, from approximately 13.0 million in 1990 to approximately 
16.8 million by the year 2000, and the number of persons age 85 and older, as 
a segment of the U.S. population, is expected to increase by 43%, from 
approximately 3.0 million in 1990 to over 4.3 million by the year 2000. 
Furthermore, the number of persons afflicted with Alzheimer's disease is also 
expected to grow in the coming years. According to data published by the 
Alzheimer's Association, this group will grow from the current 3.8 million 
people to 4.8 million, or an increase of 26.3%, by the year 2000. As 
Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia are more likely to occur as a 
person ages, the increasing life expectancy of seniors is expected to result 
in a greater number of persons afflicted with Alzheimer's disease and other 
forms of dementia in future years absent breakthroughs in medical research. 
    

   
   According to the United States Bureau of the Census, the median income 
of the elderly population has been increasing. Accordingly, the Company 
believes that the number of seniors who are able to afford high-quality senior 
residential services, such as those offered by the Company, has also increased.
    

   
   In addition, the number of two-income households has increased over the 
last decade and the geographical separation of senior family members from 
their adult children has risen with the geographic mobility of the U.S. 
population. As a result, many families that traditionally would have provided 
the type of care and services offered by the Company to senior family members 
are in less of a position to do so. 
    

   Supply/Demand Imbalance. While the senior population is growing 
significantly, the supply of skilled nursing beds per thousand is declining. 
This imbalance may be attributed to a number of factors in addition to the 
aging of the population. Many states, in an effort to maintain controls of 
Medicaid expenditures on long-term care, have implemented more restrictive 
certificate of need regulations or similar legislation that restricts the 
supply of licensed skilled nursing facility beds. Additionally, acuity-based 
reimbursement systems have encouraged skilled nursing facilities to focus on 
higher acuity patients. The Company also believes that high construction 
costs and limits on government reimbursement for the full cost of 
construction and start-up expenses also will constrain the growth and supply 
of traditional skilled nursing beds. These factors, taken in combination, 
result in relatively fewer skilled nursing beds available for the increasing 
number of seniors who require assistance with ADLs but do not require 24-hour 
medical attention. 

Business Strategy 

   
   Provide a Full Range of Senior Residential Services. The Company expects 
its existing and future assisted living facilities to serve as the foundation 
on which it will provide a continuum of care for its seniors within cluster 
market regions. When such facilities are combined with supportive independent 
living and skilled nursing/ rehabilitation facilities and an Alzheimer's care 
program, the Company's facilities will have the resources to provide a less 
stressful transition for its residents to environments with higher degrees of 
care when required. The Company believes that by combining different levels 
of care in a single facility, on an integrated campus or in nearby 
facilities, it will gain an advantage over those competitors that operate 
free-standing assisted living facilities and that do not have similar 
flexibility to allow their residents to age in place.

   Provide Services across a Range of Pricing Options. In addition to 
providing a broad range of services, the Company believes it will be able to 
serve nearly all income segments of the senior population by providing these 
services over a range of pricing options. The Company provides, and is 
developing models designed to provide, these services to both the moderate 
and upper income markets. Also, the Company provides, and is developing 
models intended to provide, assisted living services for lower income and 
Medicaid-eligible individuals. 
    

     Upper Income Markets. A key component of the Company's strategy is to 
   address the needs and demands of the more affluent, upper income senior 
   population generally located in metropolitan or suburban areas. A number 
   of specific markets have been targeted, including Fairfield County in 
   Connecticut, Middlesex County in Massachusetts, Westchester County, Nassau 
   County and New York City in New York, Bergen County in New Jersey and Palm 
   Beach County in Florida and other areas in which the Company has commenced 
   development. The "Chancellor Park" models planned for these markets are 
   generally more spacious and provide a greater range of services than other 
   models. Rates currently charged or planned for facilities in these market 
   areas range from $2,300 per month to $4,900 per month. 

   
     Moderate Income Markets. Many of the Company's development activities 
   are geared toward providing its range of services in attractive settings 
   that are affordable to the moderate income senior population. The 
   "Chancellor Gardens" models planned for these markets contain spacious 
   public areas, unit sizes slightly smaller than those in the upper income 
   markets. The Company offers a basic service package with more services 
   provided on an "a la carte" basis. Monthly rates range from $1,400 to 
   $3,000. Specific areas targeted for development of this product line 
   include Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina and Texas. 
    

   
     Lower Income Markets and Medicaid Waiver States. A number of states have 
   obtained Federal waivers to allow Medicaid-eligible individuals to receive 
   assisted living services in a variety of settings. Generally, monthly 
   rates allowed under the waiver program fall on the low end of the market 
   rates for assisted living services and range from approximately $900 to 
   $2,000 per month. The Company currently provides, or is developing 
   facilities intended to provide, assisted living services to lower income 
   residents and Medicaid- eligible residents in certain of those states that 
   have obtained Federal Medicaid waivers. The "Chancellor Village" models 
   planned for these markets are generally smaller, some with shared units, 
   and provide a basic package of services in the monthly rate. The Company 
   operates such facilities in North Carolina and has targeted attractive 
   locations in Medicaid waiver states such as Florida, Georgia, Maryland and 
   Texas. See "--Government Funding." 
    

   
   Offer Personalized, Quality Care and Services. The Company's strategy 
includes providing its residents with personalized, quality care and 
services. The Company, through its facility-based staff, develops a care plan 
for each resident based on professional assessments and family consultations. 
The care plan is updated regularly based on the needs of the resident by the 
facility's healthcare and social service staff in conjunction with the 
resident, the resident's physician and family members. The Company maintains 
a quality assurance program with the goal of meeting and exceeding the 
expectations of its residents and their families. The Company pays special 
attention to recruitment, screening and training of all personnel assigned to 
serve its residents and surveys its own facilities to ensure that its quality 
standards are being maintained. 
    

   
   Develop Regional Cluster Markets. The Company seeks to be a leading 
provider of assisted living services and related residential services in each 
of its current and targeted cluster market regions. By positioning itself in 
such cluster regions, the Company believes it can become the provider of 
choice in a particular market through increased community familiarity. This 
strategy will also help enable it to achieve operational management 
efficiencies within these markets. The Company targets middle to upper income 
metropolitan and suburban areas which have well-established populations of 
persons 75 years or older. Regional markets currently targeted for cluster 
development are located in a number of states, including Arizona, 
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North 
Carolina and Texas. 
    

   
   Develop Hospital and Managed Care Relationships. The Company intends to 
develop relationships with regional hospital systems, managed care 
organizations and other referral sources to provide services to discharged 
patients that will offer a full continuum of care in the areas of assisted 
living, supportive independent living, Alzheimer's care and skilled 
nursing/rehabilitative care.

Service Models 

   
   While providing services ranging from supportive independent living to 
skilled nursing/rehabilitative care, the primary focus of the services 
provided by the Company is the various assisted living service models 
developed by the Company. 
    

   
   Assisted Living. The Company offers a full range of assisted living 
services based on individual resident needs. The Company has found that 
resident needs generally fall in one or more of the following categories: (i) 
those requiring socialization and interaction with others but needing 
assistance with only the instrumental activities of daily living ("IADLs"), 
(ii) those requiring physical support or assistance with ADLs, and (iii) 
those who require assistance due to Alzheimer's disease or other cognitive 
impairment. 
    

   
   Based on these resident needs, the Company has developed three service 
categories that can be implemented either individually or in combination with 
one another within the same facility or in a campus setting. 
    

   
     Healthcare Services Model. This service model provides a lower cost 
   alternative for individuals needing lower acuity services than those 
   available in a skilled nursing facility, making this model an attractive 
   choice for managed care organizations and insurance companies seeking more 
   cost efficient programs. The Healthcare Services Model is designed to meet 
   the needs of two different market segments. This model will provide long- 
   term care services to moderate and upper income seniors who are generally 
   75 years of age or older and require assistance with at least two ADLs. In 
   addition, it serves as a step-down provider of services as an alternative 
   to a skilled nursing facility, where it will emphasize short-term stays in 
   a variety of rehabilitative situations and also provide pre-operative and 
   post-operative care services. In both instances, the need for these 
   services is due primarily to physical limitations rather than cognitive 
   impairment. Personal care assistance with ADLs is provided on a 24-hour 
   basis and averages between one and two hours per day for each resident. 
   Other services include ongoing health screenings and assessments, three 
   meals daily, transportation, social and recreational activities, 
   housekeeping and personal laundry. Where permitted by state law, the 
   Company also provides residents with medication assistance which includes 
   monitoring, supervision and dispensing. Residents are encouraged to 
   participate in the PEP program. 
    

   
     Alzheimer's Model. Alzheimer's care services are provided for residents 
   with early or intermediate stage Alzheimer's disease in specially-designed 
   freestanding facilities or as distinct components contained within an 
   assisted living facility. Residents with Alzheimer's disease or other 
   forms of dementia require high levels of care and services as a result of 
   the decline of their cognitive abilities. In addition to the personal care 
   services provided in traditional assisted living facilities, additional 
   services are provided to include stimulation, behavior management, special 
   activities, intervention and therapeutic programs. Staffing is generally 
   15% to 20% higher in order to meet the needs of this population group. 
   Within this model, the Company creates a home-like setting that addresses 
   the cognitive limitations of its residents. In the Alzheimer's Model, the 
   Company generally charges monthly rates which are 20% to 40% higher than 
   the rates for more traditional assisted living services. 
    

   
     Social Model. Within this model, the Company provides three meals daily, 
   housekeeping, personal laundry services, transportation, 24-hour security, 
   health screening and assessment as well as personal care services. 
   Additionally, there is a greater focus on resident interaction as well as 
   social and recreational activities. The service package generally includes 
   up to thirty minutes per day of personal care assistance with additional 
   fees for services beyond the basic package. Residents are encouraged to 
   participate in the Company's individually tailored Personalized Exercise 
   Program (PEP) conducted within the facility's wellness center. The 
   program, developed in conjunction with Tufts University, encourages 
   independence through exercise by improving flexibility, balance, strength 
   and endurance. The wellness centers are staffed with nursing personnel 
   24-hours per day. 
    

   Supportive Independent Living. Supportive independent living is provided 
for seniors who require a residential environment that offers available 
health care services but who do not yet need assistance with ADLs. The 
Company provides this level of service in both moderate and upper income 
markets. The Company believes that the supportive independent living service 
broadens the market attractiveness of each facility or integrated campus by 
providing a residential setting for those seniors who wish to maintain their 
independence but desire a supportive environment. Services provided include 
daily meals, transportation, social and recreational activities, laundry, 
housekeeping and health care monitoring. Depending on government regulation, 
personal care and medical 

                                      39 
<PAGE> 

   
services are available through either facility staff or through home health 
care agencies. Residents generally pay a monthly rate to cover all services, 
which is approximately 20% to 30% less than the rate for more traditional 
assisted living services. 
    

   
   Skilled Nursing/Rehabilitation. In certain cluster market regions, the 
Company provides skilled nursing/ rehabilitative services within a skilled 
nursing facility setting. These services include both short-term 
rehabilitation and traditional long-term care and will be an important 
component of the continuum of care provided by the Company within an 
integrated campus setting or within cluster market regions. The short-term 
rehabilitation component addresses the needs of patients requiring short-term 
rehabilitation or therapy services, generally after a hospital stay. 
    


Company Operations 

   
   The Company centralizes many of its financial, administrative and 
operational functions at its corporate headquarters. Such centralization 
allows facility-based personnel to focus on resident care and ensures that 
Company-wide policies and procedures are maintained. Corporate personnel with 
expertise in administration, nursing, marketing, food service, social 
services, financial management and plant maintenance directly assist and 
supervise personnel at the facility level. The Company believes that these 
corporate resources enable each facility to provide services to its residents 
in a more professional and cost effective manner. The Company also intends to 
develop regional offices in certain cluster market regions to enhance its 
ability to manage its development and operational activities. 
    

   
   Facility Staffing. Each of the Company's facilities has an Administrator 
or Executive Director responsible for the day-to-day operations of the 
facility. The Administrator is supported by the Director of Resident Care, 
typically a licensed nurse who oversees the nursing personnel and personal 
care assistants and who is directly responsible for the day-to-day care of 
the residents. Other key management personnel typically include a Social 
Services Director, a Marketing Director, a Food Services Director, an 
Activities Director and a Director of Environmental Services. Additionally, 
those facilities which offer additional services, such as Alzheimer's care, 
also include a Director of Specialty Services and additional management or 
medical staff as warranted. The Company has attracted and continues to 
attract highly dedicated and experienced personnel. The Company believes that 
education, training, staff development and staff recognition enhance the 
effectiveness of its employees. The Company provides training in all aspects 
of facility operations as well as specialized training for programs offered. 
The Company encourages continuing education and provides a tuition 
reimbursement plan for its employees. The Company believes it provides 
competitive wages and employee benefits enabling it to attract and maintain 
qualified personnel. The Company has developed employee recognition and 
incentive programs that increase employee awareness of the importance of 
providing high quality care and services to residents. 
    

   
   Financial Management. Corporate personnel oversee cash management, billing 
and collection, accounts payable, payroll and all other financial and 
accounting functions. The Company monitors and controls operating expenses 
for each of its facilities through monthly budgeting, standardized management 
reporting and centralized purchasing. 
    

   
   Quality Assurance. The Company's quality assurance program is intended to 
achieve and maintain a high degree of resident and family satisfaction with 
the care and services it provides. The Company coordinates the implementation 
of its quality assurance program at each of its facilities through its 
corporate personnel. The Company encourages resident and family participation 
and seeks feedback from families and residents through surveys conducted on a 
regular basis. In addition, facility inspections are conducted regularly by 
corporate staff. These inspections, performed semi-monthly, review all 
aspects of operations, care and services provided and the overall appearance 
and cleanliness of the facility. See "--Business Strategy." 
    

   
   Marketing. The Company's marketing efforts are implemented on a regional 
and local level, all under the supervision of the corporate marketing staff. 
This structure provides greater cost effectiveness through cost sharing and 
ensures a consistency in the presentation of the Company to the various 
regional marketplaces. These efforts are intended to create awareness of the 
Company and its services among prospective residents, their families, 
professional referral sources and other key decision makers. The corporate 
marketing office develops overall strategies to promote the Company and its 
service offerings throughout the markets in which the Company is currently 
operating and has targeted. The corporate marketing staff conducts regional 
and state-wide surveys of age and income-qualified seniors to help ensure 
that the Company is meeting the needs and demands of that 
    


                                      40 
<PAGE> 

   
marketplace. To further both market awareness of the Company by prospective 
residents and to more accurately assess the needs and demands of seniors, the 
Company regularly conducts regional focus groups. Corporate personnel develop 
the overall marketing strategies for each facility, produce all marketing 
materials, maintain marketing databases, oversee direct mailings, place all 
media advertising and assist facility personnel in the initial development 
and continuing refinement of marketing plans for each facility. 
    

   
   Corporate and regional marketing offices commence marketing of each 
newly-developed facility nine to 12 months prior to the scheduled facility 
opening. Approximately six months prior to each facility opening, a marketing 
director and marketing sales person are hired for each facility. They are 
responsible for community outreach activities and community relations, the 
coordination of referral activities, conducting facility tours and providing 
information to prospective residents and their families with respect to the 
Company's facilities and services. 
    


Facilities 

   
   Three basic designs have been developed for the Company's existing and 
future facilities: (i) the stand-alone assisted living facility, (ii) the 
combined assisted living/supportive independent living facility, and (iii) 
the stand- alone Alzheimer's care facility. Each combined facility 
incorporates separate entrances for supportive independent living and 
assisted living units. Community spaces are adjacent to a large lobby/living 
room that opens into a secure courtyard. The assisted living and supportive 
independent living areas are connected by a single story service core which 
houses a combined kitchen and separate dining rooms that open out onto a 
secured courtyard. Shared facilities include central laundry, beauty/barber 
facilities and a wellness center. The unit wings are designed in a modular 
fashion which allows for modification of the size of the facility in 
increments of 12 units. This modular design allows for greater development 
flexibility and encourages social interaction. Current designs include 
facilities ranging in size from 82 to 118 units for stand-alone assisted 
living facilities. Combined assisted living/supportive independent living 
designs range from 124 to 148 units. The residential wings are three stories 
and are accented by a large living room centrally located and adjacent to 
elevators on each floor. The Alzheimer's care facility design is generally 
smaller than the Company's other facility designs to accommodate the 
cognitive limitations and needs of its residents. The design accommodates a 
minimum of 32 units which house up to 40 residents and can be expanded to 
include as many as 64 units, or 80 residents. Key features generally include 
indoor and outdoor wandering paths, a simulated town square area, secure 
outdoor spaces and directional aids and other coding to assist residents in 
"way finding." 
    

   Three basic exterior designs have been developed for implementation in 
various geographic regions. The New England colonial, designed primarily for 
use in the Northeast, incorporates detailed wood trim with cedar clapboards 
and cedar shingles. The Jeffersonian colonial, designed primarily for use in 
the Mid-Atlantic states, is comprised of masonry with cast stone lintels. The 
Regency, designed primarily for use in the Southeast and Southwest, combines 
Florida regency and Southwestern details. 

   
   Units for which the Social Model services are provided are generally more 
spacious than in other assisted living models, range in size from 360 square 
feet to 800 square feet and include a full kitchen and spacious walk-in 
closets. Units in the Healthcare Services Model generally range in size from 
320 square feet to 725 square feet, and many include walk-in closets, storage 
areas and kitchenettes. Units in the Alzheimer's Model range in size from 300 
square feet to 500 square feet and furnishings are designed to take into 
account the cognitive limitations of its residents. All units include private 
bath, emergency call systems in the bedroom and bathroom, closet space, cable 
television and telephone service. 
    

   The Company occupies executive offices located in Needham, Massachusetts 
under a lease expiring in 2001.

Development and Acquisition 

   
   Development Activities. The Company's senior management team has extensive 
experience in the development of assisted living, supportive independent 
living and skilled nursing/rehabilitation facilities. The Company currently 
plans to develop approximately 60 facilities with a capacity of approximately 
7,200 residents over the next three years. 
    

   
   The Company believes that it is able to differentiate itself from many of 
its competitors because of its in-house market research and development 
capabilities. It has the ability to target potential markets, perform the 
appropriate market studies, identify zoning issues and determine the 
appropriate size and configuration of facilities to develop and/or acquire. 
With respect to properties that it intends to develop, the Company will 
coordinate all aspects of each project, including obtaining the final permits 
and approvals, design, construction and capital budgeting. 
    

   
   Facilities will be developed primarily in conjunction with: (i) related 
party entities, (ii) joint ventures in which related parties have some level 
of ownership, ranging from minority to majority ownership and (iii) third 
parties. It is anticipated that a majority of the facilities developed in the 
next three to four years will be for Chancellor and other related party 
entities, owned primarily by Abraham D. Gosman, members of his family and 
other members of the Company's senior management. The Company expects that it 
will only enter into agreements with entities that it believes have 
demonstrated the capability to obtain the financing necessary to construct 
and own the facilities. The Company recognizes development fees on a 
percentage of completion basis. Development fees are intended to cover costs 
and to return a targeted level of profit to the Company. See "Risk 
Factors--Development and Construction Risks" and "Certain Transactions." 
    

   
   Generally, the Company will enter into development agreements whereby 
construction financing is obtained by the related or third parties. The 
Company expects that risks related to construction and the initial operation 
of the facilities it develops will be borne primarily by related or third 
parties. The Company expects that it will not enter into management 
agreements with these parties until completion of the construction of such 
facilities or upon acquisition of completed facilities. These management 
agreements would generally be for a ten-year period, with annual fees 
approximating 5% of net revenues. The Company also expects to have the option 
to convert such management agreements into fair market value leases (which 
will be a negotiated percentage of total project costs) for a ten-year 
initial term with three to four five-year fair market value renewal options. 
There may also be an option to acquire the facility at fair market value at 
the end of the initial term or option periods. The Company expects to 
exercise the lease option at such time as the facilities reach stabilization. 
The related party is likely to sell many of the developed facilities to REITs 
(possibly including Meditrust, whose Chairman is Abraham D. Gosman) or other 
financing sources; however, no such agreements are currently in place. Any 
such sale would be subject to any management, lease or purchase terms already 
in place. See "Certain Transactions." 
    

   The Company expects that its development projects for joint ventures and 
third parties will be turnkey projects and will not result in either 
management contracts or leases, although the Company may seek such contracts 
where attractive. 

   
   The primary milestones in the development process are (i) site selection 
and signing of a development contract, (ii) permitting and approvals 
necessary to commence construction and (iii) completion of construction. Once 
a market has been identified, site selection and signing of a development 
contract typically take approximately one to three months. Land permitting 
generally takes five to 12 months and is typically the most difficult step in 
the development process due to the Company's selection of sites in 
established communities which usually require site rezoning. Facility 
construction normally takes 12 months. After a facility receives a 
certificate of occupancy, residents usually begin to move in immediately. 
    

   
   The Company's development activities are coordinated by its experienced 
development staff of approximately 20 people, which has extensive real estate 
acquisition, engineering, general construction and project management 
experience. Architectural design and hands-on construction functions are 
usually contracted to outside architects and contractors.

   The following table sets forth certain information regarding facilities 
for which the zoning, permitting or construction process has commenced and 
which the Company is developing (except as noted) and/or expecting to manage. 
For each of the locations set forth on the table, the anticipated owner has, 
at a minimum, an option to purchase the real estate on which the facility is 
to be or is being developed.

   Facilities under development may not be constructed for a variety of 
reasons, including zoning, permitting, health care licensing and cost related 
issues. See "Risk Factors--Development and Construction Risks." In addition 
to facilities listed in the "Status" column as under development, the Company 
is also engaged in preliminary development activities with respect to other 
possible sites for future facilities. 
    

   Acquisition Activities. In addition to its development activities, the 
Company intends to aggressively pursue acquisitions of existing facilities, 
management agreements and/or leases to the extent that they complement its 
growth strategy by helping to augment existing cluster markets or enter new 
markets. Such acquisitions will depend on a number of factors, including the 
advantages of acquiring a facility versus leasing for its own benefit, 
regional or local competition, reputation and quality of the facilities and 
contribution of the facility to operating results. 

   The Company's acquisition team has extensive experience in numerous areas, 
including market assessment, budget development, project scheduling and 
documentation for its transactions. All potential acquisitions are presented 
to the Company's Board of Directors or its Executive Committee before 
authorization is provided for the Company to proceed. 

   
   The current fragmentation of the assisted living industry, combined with 
the Company's financial resources following completion of this Offering, 
should provide the opportunity to consider a number of acquisitions. The 
Company's senior management team has extensive acquisition experience as well 
as contacts with a large number of facility owners and operators throughout 
the country. The Company believes that through the reputation of its 
management and the quality of the facilities it owns, operates and is 
currently developing, it will become an attractive acquiror for potential 
target facilities. The Company intends to pursue other single and portfolio 
acquisitions that meet its quality standards and present the opportunity to 
increase its profitability. See "Risk Factors--Need for Additional Financing" 
and "--Risks Related to Acquisition Strategy." 
    


Competition 

   Providers of assisted living services compete for residents primarily on 
the basis of quality of care, reputation, physical appearance of the 
facilities, price, services offered, family preferences, physician referrals 
and location. Some of the Company's competitors operate on a not-for-profit 
basis or as charitable organizations. Some of the Company's competitors are 
significantly larger than the Company and have, or may obtain, greater 
resources than those of the Company. 

   The long-term care industry generally is highly competitive and the 
Company expects that the assisted living business in particular will become 
more competitive in the future. The Company will be competing with numerous 
other companies providing similar long-term care alternatives such as home 
health agencies, life care at home, community-based service programs, 
retirement communities and convalescent centers. While there presently are 
few assisted living residences existing in the markets the Company intends to 
serve, the Company expects that as assisted living receives greater attention 
competition will grow from new market entrants, including companies focused 
primarily on assisted living. Nursing facilities that provide long-term care 
services are also a potential source of competition for the Company. 

   
   The Company believes that there is moderate competition for less expensive 
segments of the private market and for Medicaid-eligible residents in small 
communities. Management's experience indicates that seniors who move into 
assisted living facilities frequently choose facilities near their homes, 
therefore the Company's major competitors are other long-term care facilities 
within the same geographic area as its facilities. 
    


Goverment Funding 

   
   Assisted living residents or their families generally pay the cost of care 
from their own financial resources. Depending on the nature of an 
individual's health insurance program or long-term care insurance policy, the 
individual may receive reimbursement for costs of care under an "alternative 
care benefit." Government funding for assisted living has been limited. Some 
state or local governments offer housing subsidies for rent or housing- 
related services for low income seniors. Others may provide subsidies in the 
form of additional payment for those who receive Supplemental Security Income 
("SSI"). Medicaid provides insurance for certain financially or medically 
needy persons, regardless of age, and is funded jointly by federal, state and 
local governments. Medicaid reimbursement varies from state to state. 
    

   
   In 1981, the federal government approved a Medicaid waiver program called 
Home and Community-Based Care which was designed to permit states to develop 
programs specific to the health care and housing needs of 
    


                                      45 
<PAGE> 

   
the low-income elderly eligible for nursing home placement (a "Medicaid 
Waiver Program"). Under a Medicaid Waiver Program, states apply to the Health 
Care Financing Administration for a waiver to use Medicaid funds to support 
community-based options for low-income elderly who need long-term care. These 
waivers permit states to reallocate a portion of Medicaid funding for nursing 
facility care to other forms of care such as assisted living. In 1994, the 
federal government implemented new regulations which empowered states to 
further expand their Medicaid Waiver Programs and eliminated restrictions on 
the amount of Medicaid funding states could allocate to community-based care, 
such as assisted living. A limited number of states currently have such 
programs operating that allow them to pay for assisted living care. Without a 
Medicaid Waiver Program, states can only use federal Medicaid funds for 
long-term care in nursing facilities. 
    

   
   The Company expects that state Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement 
programs will constitute an additional source of future revenues for the 
Company at its skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers. Medicaid programs 
typically provide for fixed rate payment to health care providers. Providers 
must accept reimbursement from Medicaid as payment in full for all covered 
services rendered to Medicaid patients. Medicare is a federally-funded and 
administered health insurance program that provides coverage for a wide range 
of health care services, including intensive rehabilitation, skilled nursing 
and certain related medical services. With respect to skilled nursing and 
rehabilitation, Medicare is a retrospective payment system in which each 
facility receives an interim payment during the year, which is later adjusted 
to reflect actual allowable direct and indirect costs of services based on 
the submission of a cost report at the end of each year. There can be no 
assurance that either Medicaid or Medicare will pay rates that recognize all 
of the Company's costs of providing services to residents covered by those 
programs. See "Risk Factors--Dependence on Reimbursement by Third Party 
Payors." 
    


Government Regulation 

   
   The health care industry is subject to substantial Federal, state and 
local regulation. The various layers of governmental regulation affect the 
Company's business by controlling its growth, requiring licensure or 
certification of its facilities, regulating the use of its facilities and 
controlling reimbursement to the Company for services provided. Licensing, 
certification and other applicable governmental regulations vary from 
jurisdiction to jurisdiction and are revised periodically. It is not possible 
to predict the content or impact of future legislation and regulations 
affecting the health care industry. See "Risk Factors--Government 
Regulation." 
    

   
   Many of the states in which the Company operates have adopted certificate 
of need statutes applicable to the assisted living and skilled nursing 
services provided by the Company. Such statutes provide generally that, prior 
to the addition of new services or the making of certain capital expenditures 
exceeding defined levels, a state agency must determine that a need exists 
for such proposed activities. Failure to obtain the necessary state approval 
can result in the inability to provide the service, operate the facility or 
complete the addition or other change, and can also result in the imposition 
of sanctions or adverse action in respect of the facility's license and 
reimbursement. To date, the Company has generally not experienced any 
difficulty in obtaining such state approvals where required. 
    

   The ability of the Company to operate profitably will depend in part upon 
the Company obtaining and maintaining all necessary licenses, certificates of 
need and other approvals and operating in compliance with applicable health 
care regulations. 

   Under Massachusetts law, if any person owns, directly and/or indirectly, 
5% or more of the outstanding shares or certain obligations of a health care 
provider, then such provider must disclose certain information about such 
person to the Massachusetts Department of Public Welfare. If any person owns 
10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company, then the Company may be 
required to identify such person to the Massachusetts Department of Public 
Health and to disclose to the Massachusetts Rate Setting Commission any 
transactions between such persons and any facility operated by the Company, 
as the case may be, in Massachusetts. Under New York regulations, a 
corporation may not be licensed to operate certain health care facilities 
unless all of its stockholders are specifically identified, approved 
individuals or are corporations, trusts, partnerships and other entities 
owned by such individuals. Other states as well as the U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services may have similar requirements to disclose the names 
of persons or entities owning more than certain specified percentages of the 
outstanding securities of corporations. 

   In Massachusetts, assisted living facilities must be certified by the 
Department of Elder Affairs. The Department's regulations set forth 
requirements relating to disclosure of ownership interests, physical plant 
requirements, service standards and service plans, record keeping, staffing 
and training. The regulations set forth 

                                      46 
<PAGE> 

the rights of assisted living residents and required provisions of residency 
agreements. Failure to observe the Department's regulations could result in 
the suspension or loss of certification of the facility. The Company believes 
that its Massachusetts facilities currently meet the requirements of the 
Department's regulations. Assisted living facilities are generally subject to 
less extensive regulation than skilled nursing facilities. 

   
   Some residents may require ancillary health services from time to time, 
such as skilled nursing, therapy, pharmacy or other health services. In 
Massachusetts, these services must be provided by persons or entities that 
are specifically licensed or certified, as applicable, to provide such health 
care services. The Company may from time to time enter into agreements with 
other entities to provide ancillary services where it is not itself licensed 
or certified to provide them. 
    

   
   Investigations or reviews conducted by state regulators also may adversely 
affect the Company. From December 1994 until March 1995, the State of Florida 
conducted a review of operating policies and procedures at Standish's Lowry 
facility, during which time the community was subject to a moratorium imposed 
by the State on the admission of new residents pending correction of various 
deficiencies. Although the moratorium has been lifted, revenues at that 
facility continue to be adversely affected. 
    

   In certain states, the Company's assisted living facilities are subject to 
certain state regulations and licensing requirements. In order to qualify as 
a state licensed facility and therefore eligible to receive Medicaid funding, 
the Company's facilities must comply with regulations which address, among 
other things, staffing, physical design, required services and resident 
profile. The Company expects that it will obtain licenses in states as 
required. The Company's residences are also subject to various local building 
codes and other ordinances, including fire safety codes. These requirements 
vary from state to state and are monitored, to varying degrees, by state 
agencies. 

   In order to participate in the Medicare program, a skilled nursing 
facility must be licensed and certified as a provider of skilled nursing 
services. Effective October 1, 1990, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 
1987 ("OBRA") eliminated the different certification standards for "skilled" 
and "intermediate care" nursing facilities under the Medicaid program in 
favor of a single "nursing facility" standard. This standard requires, among 
other things, that the Company have at least one registered nurse on each day 
shift and one licensed nurse on each other shift, and increases training 
requirements for nurse's aides by requiring a minimum number of training 
hours and a certification test before a nurse's aide can commence work. 
States continue to be required to certify that nursing facilities provide 
"skilled care" in order to obtain Medicare reimbursement. 

   The laws of many states prohibit physicians from splitting fees with 
non-physicians and prohibit non-physician entities from practicing medicine. 
These laws vary from state to state and are enforced by the courts and by 
regulatory authorities with broad discretion. Although the Company believes 
its operations are in compliance with such laws, the Company's business 
operations have not been the subject of judicial or regulatory 
interpretation. There can be no assurance that review of the Company's 
business by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in 
determinations that could adversely affect the operations of the Company or 
that the health care regulatory environment will not change so as to restrict 
the Company's existing operations or their expansion. In addition, the 
regulatory framework of certain jurisdictions may limit the Company's 
expansion into such jurisdictions if the Company is unable to modify its 
operational structure to conform with such regulatory framework. 

   
   Federal and state anti-remuneration laws, such as the Medicare/Medicaid 
anti-kickback law, govern certain financial arrangements among health care 
providers and others who may be in a position to refer or recommend patients 
to such providers. These laws prohibit, among other things, certain direct 
and indirect payments that are intended to induce the referral of patients 
to, the arranging for services by, or the recommending of, a particular 
provider of health care items or services. The Medicare/Medicaid 
anti-kickback law has been broadly interpreted to apply to certain 
contractual relationships between health care providers and sources of 
patient referral. Similar state laws vary from state to state, are sometimes 
vague and seldom have been interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies. 
Violation of these laws can result in loss of licensure, civil and criminal 
penalties, and exclusion of health care providers or suppliers from 
participation in (i.e., furnishing covered items or services to beneficiaries 
of) the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Although the Company does not receive 
all of its total revenues from certain Medicaid waiver programs and is 
otherwise not a Medicare or Medicaid provider or supplier, it is subject to 
these laws because (i) the state laws typically apply regardless of whether 
Medicare or Medicaid payments are at issue and (ii) as required under some 
state licensure laws, and for the convenience of its residents, some of the 
Company's assisted living facilities maintain contracts with certain health 
care providers and practitioners, including 
    


                                      47 
<PAGE> 

pharmacies, visiting nurse organizations and hospices, through which the 
health care providers made their health care items or services (some of which 
may be covered by Medicare or Medicaid) available to the Company's residents. 
There can be no assurance that such laws will be interpreted in a manner 
consistent with the practices of the Company. 

   In addition, the Company is subject to various Federal, state and local 
environmental laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations often impose 
liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible 
for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of any required 
remediation or removal of these substances could be substantial and the 
liability of an owner or operator as to any property is generally not limited 
under such laws and regulations and could exceed the property's value and the 
aggregate assets of the owner or operator. The presence of these substances 
or failure to remediate such contamination properly may also adversely affect 
the owner's ability to sell or rent the property, or to borrow using the 
property as collateral. Under these laws and regulations, an owner, operator 
or an entity that arranges for the disposal of hazardous or toxic substances, 
such as asbestos-containing materials, at a disposal site may also be liable 
for the costs of any required remediation or removal of the hazardous or 
toxic substances at the disposal site. In connection with the ownership or 
operation of its properties, the Company could be liable for these costs, as 
well as certain other costs, including governmental fines and injuries to 
persons or properties. See "Risk Factors--Environmental Risks." 

   
   The Company believes that the structure and composition of government, and 
specifically health care, regulations will continue to change and, as a 
result, regularly monitors developments in the law. The Company expects to 
modify its agreements and operations from time to time as the business and 
regulatory environment changes. While the Company believes it will be able to 
structure all its agreements and operations in accordance with applicable 
law, there can be no assurance that its arrangements will not be successfully 
challenged. See "Risk Factors--Government Regulation." 
    


Insurance 

   
   Health care companies are subject to medical malpractice, personal injury 
and other liability claims which are customary risks inherent in the 
operation of health facilities and are generally covered by insurance. The 
Company maintains property, liability and professional malpractice insurance 
policies in amounts and with such coverages and deductibles which are deemed 
appropriate by management, based upon historical claims, industry standards, 
and the nature and risks of its business. The Company provides medical 
malpractice insurance for its employee physicians and also requires that 
non-employee physicians practicing at its facilities carry medical 
malpractice insurance to cover their respective individual professional 
liabilities. The Company currently maintains professional liability insurance 
and general liability insurance. The Company's medical professional liability 
coverage is limited to $1.0 million per occurrence and $2.0 million in the 
aggregate for all claims per annual policy period. The non-medical, 
management professional liability insurance coverage is limited to $1.0 
million per wrongful act and $1.0 million in the aggregate. The general 
liability insurance is limited to $1.0 million per occurrence and $2.0 
million in the aggregate. The Company also has an umbrella excess liability 
protection policy in the total amount of $10.0 million. There can be no 
assurance that a future claim will not exceed available insurance coverages 
or that such coverages will continue to be available for the same scope at 
reasonable premium rates. Any substantial increase in the cost of such 
insurance or the unavailability of any such coverages could have an adverse 
effect on the Company's business. See "Risk Factors--Liability and 
Insurance." 
    


Employees 

   
   As of September 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 300 full-time 
employees. In addition, administrators of certain managed facilities, while 
not employees of the Company, are under the supervision of the Company. None 
of the Company's employees is represented by a union. The Company considers 
its employee relations to be good. Although the Company believes it is able 
to employ sufficient skilled personnel to staff the facilities it operates or 
manages, a shortage of skilled personnel in any of the geographic areas in 
which it operates could adversely affect the Company's ability to recruit and 
retain qualified employees and its operating expenses. 
    


Legal Proceedings 

   The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the 
course of its business. In the opinion of management of the Company, although 
the outcomes of these suits and claims are uncertain, in the aggregate they 
should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

Executive Compensation 

   
   The Company. The current annual salaries for the ten executive officers of 
the Company aggregate $1,800,000. No executive officer of the Company 
receives an annual salary in excess of $250,000, exclusive of discretionary 
bonuses and other forms of compensation. 
    

   Pre-Merger CareMatrix. During the period from June 24, 1994 (inception) 
through December 31, 1994, and during the year ended December 31, 1995, there 
were no executive officers of Pre-Merger CareMatrix whose salary and bonus 
paid or accrued by Pre-Merger CareMatrix exceeded $100,000 because management 
services for the Company were purchased from Continuum Care of Massachusetts, 
Inc., a corporation owned primarily by Abraham D. Gosman, certain members of 
his family and the Company's senior management.

Table.

(1) In addition to the information shown on the table above in respect of the 
    four named executive officers (the "Named Executive Officers"), during 
    1994 the Company paid a salary of $95,000 to Christopher W. Hollister, 
    who resigned from his position as the Company's Executive Vice President 
    and a director effective May 1995. During 1994, Mr. Hollister received a 
    housing relocation allowance of $25,000 and an automobile allowance of 
    $8,000. During 1994, the Company also paid salary in the amount of 
    $101,327 to G. Faye Godwin, who resigned from her position as the 
    Company's Chief Operating Officer in May 1995. During 1994 the Company 
    granted options to Ms. Godwin under its 1991 Combination Stock Option 
    Plan (the "Plan") to purchase 50,000 pre-Reverse Split shares of its 
    Common Stock at a pre-Reverse Split price of $6.25 per share. Two-thirds 
    of those options had not vested and expired in May 1995 upon the 
    termination of her employment. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, 
    Ms. Godwin's remaining options expired within three months of her 
    departure from the Company. 
    

   
(2) In February 1995, the Company adjusted the exercise price of shares 
    issuable upon exercise of stock options previously awarded or granted to 
    the Named Executive Officers by replacing such options with a like number 
    of options repriced to $2.00 per share ($10.00 adjusted to give effect to 
    the Reverse Split), which was the closing bid price for the Common Stock 
    as reported by Nasdaq for the day preceding the date such repricing was 
    authorized. 
    

   
(3) All compensation figures shown for 1995 reflect the amounts which the 
    named executive officer received by year end under their respective 
    employment agreements. Mr. Doyle's annual base salary increased from 
    $150,000 to $165,000 as of July 1, 1995. Mr. Brenan's employment with the 
    Company commenced as of July 25, 1995 at an annual base salary of 
    $150,000. Mr. Miles annual base salary increased from $75,000 to $105,000 
    as of July 1, 1995. Dr. Glovsky's annual base salary was $150,000. 
    

(4) Bonus compensation, if any, is determined by the Company's Board of 
    Directors in its sole discretion up to 40%, 30% and 25% of the annual 
    base salaries of Messrs. Doyle, Brenan and Miles, respectively. No 
    bonuses were paid in 1995. 

(5) Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Doyle is entitled to 
    receive an automobile allowance of $10,000 per annum and payment of 
    premiums of approximately $624 on a life insurance policy for a 
    beneficiary designated by Mr. Doyle. During 1993, Mr. Doyle received an 
    automobile allowance of $10,000 and a housing relocation allowance of 
    $9,000. 

(6) Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Brenan was entitled to 
    receive an automobile allowance of $6,000 per annum. Mr. Brenan resigned 
    from his position as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company 
    and Director effective August 15, 1996. For amounts of consulting fees, a 
    lump sum severance payment and other sums and benefits payable to Mr. 
    Brenan under the Termination Agreement, see "--Termination Agreements." 

                                      52

(7) Stock options were granted to each of Messrs. Doyle, Brenan and Miles, 
    dated as of July 1, 1995 at an exercise price per share as established in 
    September 1995 at $2.38 per share ($11.90 adjusted to give effect to the 
    Reverse Split). In the case of Messrs. Doyle and Miles, the options vest 
    over two years, with one-third vesting on the date of grant and an 
    additional one-third on each anniversary provided that the grantee 
    remains in the employ of the company. In the case of Mr. Brenan, vesting 
    of his options was accelerated under this Termination Agreement. See 
    "--Employment Agreements" and "--Termination Agreements." 
    

(8) Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Miles is entitled to 
    receive an automobile allowance of $6,000 per annum, effective as of 
    March 1, 1996. 

(9) During 1994 Dr. Glovsky received an automobile allowance of $9,492 and 
    the Company paid premiums in the amount of $12,508 on an insurance policy 
    on Dr. Glovsky's life for a beneficiary to be designated by him. Dr. 
    Glovsky retired from his position as an Executive Vice President of the 
    Company and director effective December 31, 1995. For amounts of 
    severance pay and other sums and benefits to be paid or granted to Dr. 
    Glovsky in connection with his early retirement from the Company. See 
    "--Termination Agreements." 

Compensation of Directors 

   Officers who are members of the Board of Directors do not receive 
compensation for serving on the Board. Each other member of the Board 
receives annual compensation of $15,000 for serving on the Board, plus a fee 
of $1,000 for each Board of Directors' meeting attended and $500 for 
telephonic meetings. In addition, such directors receive an additional fee of 
$500 for each committee meeting attended, except that only one fee will be 
paid in the event that more than one such meeting is held on a single day. 
All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in 
attending Board and committee meetings and otherwise carrying out their 
duties. 

Employment Agreements 

   The Company currently has employment agreements with Mr. Doyle, Chief 
Executive Officer, Mr. Miles, Senior Vice President of Finance and Mr. 
Benson, Chief Operating Officer. The employment agreement with Mr. Doyle, as 
amended effective as of September 27, 1996, provides for an initial 
employment term ending December 31, 1999, continuing thereafter on 
year-to-year renewal terms, subject to either the Company's or the employee's 
electing not to renew, an annual base salary of $250,000 through December 31, 
1999, bonus compensation to be determined by the Board of Directors of the 
Company in its sole discretion, restrictions against competition with the 
Company, an automobile allowance of $10,000 per annum and payment of premiums 
(amounting to approximately $6,300 in 1995) on a life insurance policy in the 
amount of $500,000 for a beneficiary to be designated by Mr. Doyle. Such 
policy is in addition to the key man life insurance policy to be maintained 
by and for the benefit of the Company. 

   
   The employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Miles is similar in 
structure to Mr. Doyle's, and contains substantially the same provisions, 
except that Mr. Miles' agreement (i) provides for a term through December 31, 
1998, subject to renewal on a year-to-year basis, (ii) provides for an annual 
base salary of $125,000 plus bonus compensation to be determined by the Board 
of Directors in its sole discretion, and (iii) makes no provision for life 
insurance. 
    

   
   Both of the employment agreements described above provide also that if the 
employee's employment terminates within a 24-month period following the 
occurrence of certain changes in control because, among other events, either 
(a) his employment is not renewed by the Company, (b) his employment is 
involuntarily terminated other than for cause as of a date prior to the end 
of the initial term or any renewal term or (c) a change in his duties occurs, 
he is entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment within 30 days after 
ceasing to be employed equal to 2.99 times (in the case of Mr. Doyle) and 1.0 
times (in the case of Mr. Miles) the average yearly total compensation 
(consisting of base salary and any cash bonus) payable with respect to the 
previous five full calendar years. 
    

   
   The employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Benson provides for 
an initial employment term ending August 26, 1999 and continuing thereafter 
on a year-to-year basis, subject to the Company's or Mr. Benson's election 
not to renew. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $175,000, 
bonus compensation granted in the sole discretion of the Company, a monthly 
car allowance of $550 and a grant of options to purchase 26,200 shares of 
Common Stock at an exercise price of $20.00 per share vesting in equal 
increments over three years beginning in August 1997 (as adjusted to reflect 
the Reverse Split). Mr. Benson's agreement may be terminated by the Company 
without cause upon written notice or by Mr. Benson in the event of a failure 
of the Company to 
    


                                      53 
<PAGE> 

substantially perform its duties under the agreement. Upon any such 
termination, Mr. Benson would be entitled to receive his salary payments for 
the twelve months following such termination. 

Termination Agreements 

   
   During 1995, the Company also had an employment agreement with Dr. 
Glovsky, which provided for a term of employment through December 31, 1997, a 
base annual salary of $150,000 and various other benefits. On December 29, 
1995, the Company and Dr. Glovsky, a co-founder, director and officer of the 
Company, entered into an Early Retirement and Non-Competition Agreement (the 
"Early Retirement Agreement"). Under the terms of the Early Retirement 
Agreement, Dr. Glovsky resigned as a director and an officer of the Company 
effective December 31, 1995, the Company and Dr. Glovsky agreed to terminate 
his employment agreement which was scheduled to expire on December 31, 1997 
and the Company agreed to enter into a five year consulting arrangement. 
Under the Early Retirement Agreement, Dr. Glovsky will provide services to 
the Company on an as needed basis over the next five years. The Company will 
pay Dr. Glovsky $60,000 per annum for these services and will also provide 
Dr. Glovsky with health insurance, life insurance and certain other benefits 
through 1997. As part of the Early Retirement Agreement, the Company also 
agreed to forgive loans totalling approximately $139,000 (including interest) 
that the Company had extended to Dr. Glovsky as well as pay approximately 
$49,900 for income taxes on behalf of Dr. Glovsky for the forgiveness of 
these loans. The Company also entered into a non-compete agreement with Dr. 
Glovsky providing for payments totalling $40,000 under a promissory note and 
fully vested Dr. Glovsky's stock options. 
    

   
   Until Dr. Glovsky's shares of the Company Common Stock beneficially owned 
by him are acquired as part of a merger or take-over proposal at a per share 
value of at least $25.00 (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split) or 
are otherwise disposed by Dr. Glovsky, whichever shall occur first, but not 
after December 31, 1996, Dr. Glovsky's monthly consulting fee under the Early 
Retirement Agreement will be increased by $4,000 per month, his non-compete 
note is subject to adjustment and Dr. Glovsky has the right to require the 
Company to purchase up to 13,000 (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse 
Split) of his shares at a purchase price of $30.00 per share (as adjusted to 
give effect to the Reverse Split). 
    

   
   During 1995 and 1996, the Company had an employment agreement with Michael 
J. Brenan, which provided for a term of employment through December 31, 1997, 
a base salary of $150,000 and various other benefits. Effective August 15, 
1996, Mr. Brenan resigned as a director, officer and employee. In August 
1996, the Company and Michael J. Brenan, the then President and Chief 
Operating Officer of the Company, entered into an agreement (the "Termination 
Agreement") under which Mr. Brenan resigned as a director and officer of the 
Company and his employment was terminated. Mr. Brenan has agreed to make 
himself available to provide consulting services for which he would be 
entitled to receive consulting fees of approximately $12,500 per month, 
payable through the consummation of the Merger. Under the Termination 
Agreement, the Company made a lump sum severance payment to Mr. Brenan in the 
amount of $150,000 (less any consulting fees previously paid), will provide 
family health insurance through December 31, 1996 and a moving allowance not 
to exceed $5,000. The Termination Agreement also provides for acceleration of 
the vesting of Mr. Brenan's unexercised stock options to purchase 9,000 
shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $11.90 per share (as adjusted 
to reflect the Reverse Split). In addition, the Termination Agreement 
prohibits Mr. Brenan, for a period of one year beginning September 27, 1996 
from engaging in any competing activity within a twenty-mile radius of any 
offices or Company-operated communities, facilities or development sites. 
    


Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Agreements 

   As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's 
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination, subject 
to certain conditions, of the personal liability of directors of the Company 
for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. 

   The Company's By-Laws provide for the indemnification of directors and 
officers. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification 
agreements with each of its directors. The Company may also enter into 
similar agreements with certain of the Company's officers who are not also 
directors. Generally, the Company's By-Laws and the indemnification 
agreements attempt to provide the maximum protection permitted by Delaware 
law with respect to indemnification of directors and officers. 

   The indemnification agreements, like the Company's By-Laws, provide that 
the Company will pay certain amounts incurred by a director or officer in 
connection with any civil or criminal action or proceeding, and 

                                      54 
<PAGE> 

specifically including actions by or in the name of the Company (derivative 
suits), where the individual's involvement is by reason of the fact that he 
is or was a director or officer. Such amounts include, to the maximum extent 
permitted by law, attorney's fees, judgments, civil or criminal fines, 
settlement amounts, and other expenses customarily incurred in connection 
with legal proceedings. Under the indemnification agreements and the 
Company's By-Laws, a director or officer will not receive indemnification if 
he is found not to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably 
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. 

Stock Option Plans 

   
   The Company's 1991 Combination Stock Option Plan (as amended and restated 
to date, the "Stock Option Plan") was adopted initially in October 1991, and 
has been amended several times subsequently, most recently at the Special 
Meeting of Stockholders held October 3, 1996, in order to increase the number 
of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under it. The number of 
shares currently reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan is 400,000 
(as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split). The purpose of the Stock 
Option Plan is to provide long-term incentives and rewards to the Company's 
key employees, officers, directors and others in a position to contribute to 
the success of the Company. 
    

   Under the Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant both incentive stock 
options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986, as amended ("incentive stock options"), and options which are not 
qualified as incentive stock options ("non-qualified stock options"). 
Incentive stock options may be granted only to persons who are employees of 
the Company at the time of the grant, which may include officers and 
directors (other than members of the Compensation Committee) who are also 
employees. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to officers, directors 
(other than members of the Compensation Committee) or employees of, or 
consultants or advisors to, the Company at the time of the grant, and other 
persons, provided that directors who serve on the Compensation Committee are 
not eligible to receive options under the Stock Option Plan. 

   
   No stock appreciation rights have been granted by the Company. None of the 
Named Executive Officers exercised stock options during 1995, and no stock 
options were repriced during 1995, except on February 18, 1995, as permitted 
by the terms of the Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors determined to 
make appropriate adjustments in the exercise price of stock options 
previously awarded under the Stock Option Plan to take into account the 
effect of issuance of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock pursuant 
to the exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") made by the Company in 1994, 
pursuant to which an aggregate of 1,701,180 shares of pre-Reverse Split 
Common Stock were issued in exchange for 654,300 shares of Series A Preferred 
Stock. Pursuant to the adjustments adopted by the Board of Directors, the 
Company exchanged options to purchase an aggregate of 205,700 shares of 
pre-Reverse Split Common Stock for outstanding options to purchase a like 
number of shares and the exercise price was set at $2.00 per share (the 
closing sale price as reported by the Nasdaq Small Cap System for the trading 
day immediately preceding the Board's determination to make such adjustment). 
    

   
   Directors who are not also employees of the Company are eligible to 
participate in the Company's 1995 Non- Qualified Stock Option Plan. Under the 
1995 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, each non- employee director, upon 
becoming a director, is automatically granted options to purchase 1,200 
post-Reverse Split shares of Common Stock, subject to vesting over three 
years, and options to purchase additional shares hereafter are based upon the 
formula provisions of said Plan. In June 1995, pursuant to the 1995 
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, the Company granted options to purchase 
1,200 post-Reverse Split shares of Common Stock to each of Messrs. DeVore and 
Sterman and Dr. Rayport. Dr. Rayport surrendered his options when he resigned 
as a director in July 1995.

   None of the Named Executive Officers exercised stock options during 1995, 
and no stock options were repriced during 1995 except, as noted above, action 
by the Board of Directors to reprice outstanding stock options was taken in 
February 1995. In June 1996, Standish granted to Messrs. Doyle and Miles 
stock options to purchase 10,000 and 5,000 shares, respectively (increased 
upon consummation of the Merger to 100,000 and 50,000 shares, respectively, 
and as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split), of Common Stock at an 
exercise price of $14.70 per share, the closing sale price of the Common 
Stock on the Nasdaq Small Cap System on the date of initial grant 
authorization (adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split). By action taken 
by the Standish's Board of Directors on July 29 and August 15, 1996, these 
options were modified to provide for immediate vesting in lieu of the 
original vesting in installments over two years. 
    


1996 Equity Incentive Plan 

   
   In October 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the 
"Equity Plan") which provides for the award ("Award") of up to 1,200,000 
shares of Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split) in 
the form of incentive stock options ("ISOs"), non-qualified stock options 
("Non-Qualified Stock Options"), restricted stock, performance shares and 
stock appreciation rights. All employees, directors and consultants of the 
Company and any of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Equity 
Plan. 
    

   The Equity Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the 
"Committee"), which determines who shall receive Awards from those employees 
and directors who are eligible to participate in the Equity Plan, the type of 
Award to be made, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired 
pursuant to the Award and the specific terms and conditions of each Award, 
including the purchase price, term, vesting schedule, restrictions on 
transfer and any other conditions and limitations applicable to the Awards or 
their exercise. The purchase price per share of Common Stock cannot be less 
than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant 
with respect to ISOs. ISOs cannot be exercisable more than ten years 
following the date of grant and Non- Qualified Stock Options cannot be 
exercisable more than ten years and one day following the date of grant. The 
Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion 
of any option. 

   
   Each Award may be made alone, in addition to or in relation to any other 
Award. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Committee need 
not treat participants uniformly. Except as otherwise provided by the Equity 
Plan or a particular Award, any determination with respect to an Award may be 
made by the Committee at the time of award or at any time thereafter. The 
Committee determines whether Awards are settled in whole or in part in cash, 
Common Stock, other securities of the Company, Awards or other property. 
    

   The Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, 
including substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different 
type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an ISO to 
a Non-Qualified Stock Option, if the participant consents to such action, or 
if the Committee determines that the action would not materially and 
adversely affect the participant. Awards may not be made under the Equity 
Plan after September 1, 2006, but outstanding Awards may extend beyond such 
date. 

   
   The number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Equity Plan 
may not be changed except by approval of the stockholders. However, in the 
event that the Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary 
cash dividend, creation of a class of equity securities, recapitalization, 
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, 
exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase Common Stock at a 
price substantially below fair market value, or other similar transaction 
affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required to preserve the 
benefits intended to be made available under the Equity Plan, the Committee 
may adjust equitably the number and kind of shares of stock or securities in 
respect of which Awards may be made under the Equity Plan, the number and 
kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the award, exercise or 
conversion price with respect to any of the foregoing, and if considered 
appropriate, the Committee may make provision for a cash payment with respect 
to an outstanding Award. In addition, in the event of a consolidation or 
merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation of an 
acquisition of substantially all the Company's shares or sale of 
substantially all the Company's assets, then if the Committee so determines, 
all outstanding Awards will terminate, provided that at least 20 days before 
the effective date of such a corporate event, the Committee will either (i) 
make all outstanding Awards exercisable immediately prior to the corporate 
event, or (ii) if there is a surviving or acquiring corporation, arrange to 
have that corporation or its affiliate grant to participants replacement 
Awards. Common Stock subject to Awards that expire or are terminated prior to 
exercise

<PAGE> 

   
or Common Stock that has been forfeited under the Equity Plan will be 
available for future Awards under the Equity Plan. Both treasury shares and 
authorized but unissued shares may be used to satisfy Awards under the Equity 
Plan. 
    

   
   The Equity Plan may be amended from time to time by the Committee or 
terminated in its entirety; however, no amendment may be made without 
stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any 
applicable tax or regulatory requirement. Furthermore, such amendment may not 
affect adversely the rights of a participant with respect to any previously 
made Award unless the participant consents. 
    

   
   Following the Merger, options to purchase approximately 460,000 shares of 
Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split) were issued 
pursuant to the Equity Plan to employees of Pre-Merger CareMatrix who became

Such fees were based on the discretion of the parties and may not be 
indicative of what they would have been if the Company had performed these 
services internally or had contracted for such services with unaffiliated 
entities. Payments to Continuum Care of Massachusetts, Inc., for salaries and 
wages were substantially reduced subsequent to July 1996. 

   The Company intends to provide development, management and other services 
in connection with the establishment of assisted living facilities, skilled 
nursing facilities and other health care facilities to or for the benefit of 
Chancellor, which will be the owner of the new facilities. Abraham D. Gosman 
is the principal owner of, and certain members of the Company's senior 
management and stockholders also have an ownership interest in, Chancellor. 

   
   As used herein, a "Chancellor Entity" is Chancellor Senior Housing Group, 
Inc. or a company in which Abraham D. Gosman has an ownership interest in 
excess of 90%. 
    

   
   On September 1, 1996, the Company and a Chancellor Entity entered into a 
Development and Turnkey Services Agreement (the "Global Services Agreement") 
in connection with the development and management of assisted living, 
supportive independent living and skilled nursing/rehabilitation facilities 
by the Company for such Chancellor Entities. Pursuant to the Global Services 
Agreement, upon the closing of the purchase of the real estate by the 
Chancellor Entity and the receipt of final, non-appealable zoning approvals 
for the facility to be developed, the parties expect to enter into a 
development agreement, the form of which is attached to the Global Services 
Agreement (the "Global Development Agreement"), prior to the commencement of 
construction of the facility. The Global Development Agreement provides for a 
development fee that the Company expects will range between 4% and 7% of 
total project costs, depending on the individual transaction and determined 
on the date of signing. Upon completion of the construction of a facility, 
and pursuant to the Global Development Agreement, the parties will enter into 
a management agreement, the form of which is attached to the Global 
Development Agreement (the

"Global Management Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company expects to earn 
a management fee equal to approximately 5% of gross revenues. The Company 
expects that each Global Management Agreement will have a 10 year term with 
three five-year renewal options in favor of the Company. Each Global 
Management Agreement is expected to contain an option granting the Company 
the right to lease each facility at a fair market value rental to be a 
negotiated percentage of total project costs determined on the date of 
execution (the "Lease Option"). The Lease Option will have an initial 10-year 
term and will grant the Company three to four five-year fair market value 
renewal options. The Lease Option will contain an option to purchase the 
facility at a price equal to the then fair market value. The Company also 
expects that, to the extent solely development or solely management 
opportunities present themselves with such Chancellor Entities, it will 
utilize the Global Development Agreement or the Global Management Agreement 
on a stand alone basis.

   At December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company had borrowed

   In June and July 1996, Standish borrowed an aggregate of $1.0 million for 
working capital purposes from Pre- Merger CareMatrix. In addition to

a mortgage and option agreement with Pre-Merger CareMatrix under which all 
advances on the working capital loan would be secured by a subordinate lien 
deed of trust on Standish's Bailey Village community, subordinate to certain 
prior mortgages. On July 30, 1996, Abraham D. Gosman purchased from Standish 
100 shares of the newly created Series B Preferred Stock for a purchase price 
of $14,000 per share, or $1.4 million in the aggregate, $1.0 million of which 
was used to satisfy the working capital loan from Pre-Merger CareMatrix. The 
Series B Preferred Stock provides for a cumulative dividend rate of 10% per 
annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning on December 31, 1996, and 
carries a liquidation preference of $14,000 per share, plus any accumulated 
and unpaid dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares 
of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $20.80 per share (subject to 
customary anti-dilution adjustments). Concurrently with the sale of the 
Series B Preferred Stock to Mr. Gosman, Standish issued to Mr. Gosman 
five-year warrants to purchase an additional 80,000 shares of Common Stock at 
an exercise price equal to $20.80 per share (subject to customary 
anti-dilution adjustments). The Company intends to use a portion of the net 
proceeds of the Offering to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock. See "Use of 
Proceeds," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations for Standish" and "Principal and Selling Stockholders."

or amend in a manner adverse to the Company any existing transaction, in 
which an affiliate of the Company has a material interest, unless a majority 
of the disinterested directors approve the terms thereof. See "Risk 
Factors--Dependence by the Company on Related Party Agreements" and

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK 

General 

   
   The following is a brief description of the capital stock of the Company. 
The Company is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.05 
par value per share, and 345,268 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value 
per share (the "Preferred Stock") in series as noted below under the headings 
"Preferred Stock," and "Series A Preferred Stock" and "Series B Preferred 
Stock." The Company has 10,740,775 shares of Common Stock, 27,000 shares of 
Series A Preferred Stock and 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued 
and outstanding. 
    


Common Stock 

   Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to share ratably on a 
share-for-share basis with respect to any dividends paid on the Common Stock 
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally 
available as proscribed by statute. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled 
to one vote for each share held of record. The Common Stock is not entitled 
to conversion or preemptive rights and is not subject to redemption. Upon 
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Common 
Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for 
distribution after the liquidating distribution to the holders of the Series 
A and Series B Preferred Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are 
fully paid and nonassessable. 

Preferred Stock 

   The Company's Board of Directors is authorized to establish and designate 
the classes, series, voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, 
participating, optional or other rights, and such qualifications, limitations 
and restrictions of the Preferred Stock as the Board, in its sole discretion, 
may determine without further vote or action of the Stockholders, except as 
and to the extent described below under the headings "--Series A Preferred 
Stock--Voting Rights" and "--Series B Preferred Stock--Voting Rights." 

   The rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions or qualifications or 
different series of Preferred Stock may differ with respect to dividend 
rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, 
redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions, and other matters. The 
issuance of Preferred Stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets 
available for distribution to holders of Common Stock or could adversely 
affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of holders of Common 
Stock. 

   The existence of the Preferred Stock, and the power of the Board of 
Directors to set its terms and issue a series of Preferred Stock at any time 
without stockholder approval, could have certain anti-takeover effects. These 
effects include that of making the Company a less attractive target for a 
"hostile" takeover bid or discouraging the making of a merger proposal, or 
rendering it more difficult either to assume control of the Company through 
the acquisition of a large block of Common Stock or to remove incumbent 
management, even if such actions could be beneficial to the stockholders of 
the Company. 

Series A Preferred Stock 

   
   The Company has 27,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. The 
designations, rights, powers, preferences, qualifications and limitations of 
the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designations 
of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary 
of State of the State of Delaware. All outstanding shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock are fully-paid and nonassessable. 
    

   The following is a summary of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. 
This summary is not intended to be complete, and is subject to and qualified 
in its entirety by reference to the above-mentioned Certificate of 
Designations on file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. 

   Dividends. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to 
dividends at the rate of $1.00 per share per annum, payable quarterly in 
arrears on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30 of each year. Such 
rights to receive dividends are subject to declaration of the dividend by the 
Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose as 
prescribed by statute. Dividends are cumulative, and accrue (whether or not 
declared), without interest, from the first day of each quarterly period. 

                                      64 
<PAGE> 

   No dividends may be paid on any shares of capital stock ranking junior to 
the Series A Preferred Stock (including Common Stock) unless and until all 
accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been 
declared and paid in full. 

   
   Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the 
holder's election, at any time prior to redemption, into shares of Common 
Stock. The conversion rate was set initially at two shares of Common Stock 
for each share of Series A Preferred Stock; as of the date of this 
Prospectus, the conversion rate has been adjusted to approximately 0.65122 to 
reflect the eight dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock which Standish 
(the predecessor of the Company) had failed to pay since approximately June 
30, 1994 and the Reverse Split. In addition, the conversion rate is subject 
from time to time to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including 
adjustments for the failure of the Company to pay a dividend on the Series A 
Preferred Stock within 30 days of a dividend payment date. Payment of 
accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion to the extent 
of legally available funds as prescribed by statute. The right to convert the 
Series A Preferred Stock terminates on the date fixed for redemption. 
    

   
   Redemption. At any time on or after September 1, 1996, the Company may, at 
its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole and not in part, at 
a redemption price of $10.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid 
dividends, provided that, for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending 
within 10 days prior to the notice of redemption, the market price of the 
Common Stock has been at 150% of the conversion price then in effect. 
    

   
   Voting Rights. Because the Company had failed to pay dividends for four 
quarterly dividend payment periods, the holders of the Series A Preferred 
Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of Common Stock on all 
matters submitted to the Company's Stockholders, including the election of 
directors. Once in effect, such voting rights are not terminated by the 
payment of all accrued dividends. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock 
are entitled to one vote per share of Series A Preferred Stock. 
    

   
   The affirmative vote of the holders of 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares 
of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, is necessary for 
the Company to: (a) amend any provision of its Restated Certificate of 
Incorporation in any way which would effect a material, adverse change in the 
rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or the restrictions provided 
for the benefit of, the Series A Preferred Stock, (b) authorize or issue any 
other stock or securities which would have rights superior to or on parity 
with those of the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of 
dividends or the participation in liquidating distributions of the Company, 
or which would be convertible into or exchangeable for such stock or 
securities, or (c) merge with or consolidate into any corporation, firm or 
entity, or sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of 
its assets unless the Company is the surviving entity. 
    

   Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of 
the Company, to the extent that liquidation proceeds or other assets of the 
Company are available for distribution to Stockholders, the holders of Series 
A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution of 
$10.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, before any 
payment or distribution may be made or set apart for the holders of Common 
Stock or any stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock. 

   
   Miscellaneous. The Company is not subject to any mandatory redemption or 
sinking fund provisions with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. The 
holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights to 
subscribe for or to purchase any shares or securities of any class which may 
at any time be issued, sold or offered for sale by the Company. Shares of 
Series A Preferred Stock redeemed or otherwise purchased by the Company shall 
be retired by the Company and shall be unavailable for subsequent issuance. 
Pursuant to Standish's Exchange Offer in 1994, an aggregate of 340,236 shares 
of Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split) were issued 
in exchange for 654,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 
    


Series B Preferred Stock 

   The Company has 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding which 
is to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Offering. The designations, 
rights, powers, preferences, qualifications and limitations of the Series B 
Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designations of Series B 
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of 
the State of Delaware. All outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are 
fully-paid and nonassessable. 

                                      65 
<PAGE> 

   The following is a summary of the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock. 
This summary is not intended to be complete, and is subject to and qualified 
in its entirety by reference to the above-mentioned Certificate of 
Designations on file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. 

   Dividends. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to 
dividends at the rate of $1,400 per share per annum, payable quarterly in 
arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Such 
right to receive dividends is subject to declaration of the dividend by the 
Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose as 
prescribed by statute. Dividends are cumulative and accrue (whether or not 
declared), without interest, from the first day of each quarterly period. No 
dividends, however, may be paid on the Series B Preferred Stock unless and 
until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock 
have been declared and paid in full. 

   No dividends may be paid on any shares of capital stock ranking junior to 
the Preferred Stock (including Common Stock) unless and until all accumulated 
and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have been declared and 
paid in full. 

   
   Conversion. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the 
holder's election, at any time prior to redemption, into shares of Common 
Stock, at the conversion rate of 673 shares of Common Stock for each share of 
Series B Preferred Stock. The conversion rate is subject from time to time to 
customary anti-dilution adjustments, including adjustments for the failure of 
Standish to pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock within 30 days of 
a dividend payment date. Payment of accumulated and unpaid dividends will be 
made upon conversion to the extent of legally available funds as prescribed 
by statute. The right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock terminates on 
the date fixed for redemption. 
    

   Redemption. At any time on or after December 1, 1996, the Company may, at 
its option, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole and not in part, at 
a redemption price of $14,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid 
dividends, provided that, for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending 
within 10 days prior to the notice of redemption, the market price of the 
Common Stock has been at 150% of the conversion price then in effect. 

   
   The Series B Preferred Stock will be redeemed with the proceeds of the 
Offering. See "Use of Proceeds." 
    

   Voting Rights. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are not 
entitled to vote, except as set forth below and as provided by applicable 
law. On matters as to which those holders do have such voting rights, they 
are entitled to one vote per share of Series B Preferred Stock. 

   The affirmative vote of the holders of 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares 
of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, is necessary for 
Standish to: (a) amend any provision of its Restated Certificate of 
Incorporation in any way which would effect a material, adverse change in the 
rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or the restrictions provided 
for the benefit of, the Series B Preferred Stock, (b) authorize or issue any 
other stock or securities which would have rights superior to or on parity 
with those of the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of 
dividends or the participation in liquidating distributions of the Company, 
or which would be convertible into or exchangeable for such stock or 
securities, or (c) merge with or consolidate into any corporation, firm or 
entity, or sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of 
its assets, unless the Company is the surviving entity. 

   In the event that the Company fails to pay dividends for four quarterly 
dividend payment periods, whether or not consecutively, the holders of the 
Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of 
Common Stock on all matters submitted to the Company's Stockholders, 
including the election of directors. Once in effect, such voting rights are 
not terminated by the payment of all accrued dividends. 

   Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of 
the Company, to the extent that liquidation proceeds or other assets of the 
Company are available for distribution to Stockholders, the holders of Series 
B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution of 
$14,000 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, before any 
payment or distribution may be made or set apart for the holders of Common 
Stock or any stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. 

   Miscellaneous. The Company is not subject to any mandatory redemption or 
sinking fund provisions with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock. The 
holders of Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights to 
subscribe for or to purchase any shares or securities of any class which may 
at any time be issued, sold or offered 

                                      66 
<PAGE> 

for sale by the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock redeemed or 
otherwise purchased by the Company shall be retired by the Company and shall 
be unavailable for subsequent issuance. 

Certain Provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation 

   Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a Delaware 
corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation 
limiting or eliminating the personal liability of its directors to the 
corporation and its Stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the 
directors' fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when 
acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business 
judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. 
Absent the limitations authorized by such provision, directors are 
accountable to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for 
conduct constituting gross negligence in the exercise of their duty of care. 
Although Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law does not change 
a director's duty of care, it enables corporations to limit available relief 
to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. 

   Pursuant to Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the 
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company limits the personal 
liability of its directors (in their capacity as directors but not in their 
capacity as officers) to the Company or its stockholders to the fullest 
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Specifically, a 
director will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for 
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for (i) 
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its 
stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve 
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful payments 
of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other 
distributions, and (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an 
improper personal benefit. 

   The inclusion of this provision may have the effect of reducing the 
likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or 
deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors 
for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, 
might otherwise have benefitted the Company and its stockholders. The 
inclusion of this provision, however, together with provisions of the By-Laws 
of the Company which require the Company to indemnify its officers and 
directors against certain liabilities is intended to enable the Company to 
attract qualified persons to serve as directors who might otherwise be 
reluctant to do so.

Business Combinations 

   The Delaware General Corporation Law provides certain "fair price" 
protections to stockholders of a corporation which is an Exchange Act 
Company, in connection with business combinations between such corporation 
and any interested stockholder. Such provisions are currently not applicable 
to the Company because the Company does not have a class of voting stock 
listed on a national securities exchange, authorized for quotation on the 
Nasdaq National Stock Market or held of record by more than 2,000 
stockholders. The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains 
comparable "fair price" protections but with certain variations as compared 
to the Delaware statutory provisions. The Company's Restated Certificate of 
Incorporation defines a "Related Person" (i.e., an interested stockholder) as 
an individual or corporation which becomes the beneficial owner of 5% or more 
of the outstanding voting stock of the Company after October 31, 1991. A 
beneficial owner includes an individual or corporate entity which owns voting 
stock with any affiliates or associates, or which has the right to acquire, 
or power to direct, the vote or disposition of, voting stock. 

   Transactions between the Company and a Related Person must be approved by 
the Company's Board of Directors, and additionally by the holders of 
two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of voting stock of 
the Company, excluding that voting stock held by a Related Person who is, or 
whose affiliate or associate is, a party to the business transaction. 

   The above approval requirements apply to any direct or indirect purchase 
or other acquisition in one or more transactions by the Company of any of the 
outstanding voting stock of any class from any one or more individuals or 
entities known by the Company to be a Related Person, who has beneficially 
owned such security or right for less than two years prior to the date of 
such purchase or other acquisition, at a price in excess of the fair market 

                                      67

value (as defined in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation). 
Such affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no vote 
may be required, or that a lesser percentage may be specified by law or any 
agreement with any national securities exchange, or otherwise, but no such 
affirmative vote shall be required with respect to any purchase or other 
acquisition of securities made as part of (i) a tender or exchange offer by 
the Company to purchase securities of the same class made on the same terms 
to all holders of such securities and complying with the applicable 
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, or 
any successor rule or regulation or (ii) pursuant to an open-market purchase 
program conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 
promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any successor 
rule or regulation. 

   The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation also requires the 
Board of Directors to consider what is in the best interests of the Company 
in connection with mergers, consolidations, or sales of all or substantially 
all of the Company's assets whether or not in the ordinary course of 
business. In considering what the best interests of the Company are in 
connection with such transactions, the Board of Directors shall give due 
consideration not only to the price or other consideration being offered, but 
also to all relevant factors, including the interests of the Company's 
employees, suppliers, creditors and customers, the economy of the state, 
region and nation, community and societal considerations, and the long-term 
as well as short-term interests of the corporation and its stockholders, 
including the possibility that those interests may be best served by the 
continued independence of the Company. 

Delaware Takeover Statute 

   The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation 
Law which, with certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from 
engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any 
"interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date that 
such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (i) prior to such 
date, the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business 
combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an 
interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which 
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the 
interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the 
corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for 
purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned 
(a) by persons who are directors and officers and (b) by employee stock plans 
in which employee participants do not have the right to determine 
confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a 
tender or exchange offer, or (iii) on or after such date, the business 
combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual 
or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 
66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested 
stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is defined as any person that is (a) 
the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation 
or (b) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% 
or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within 
the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to 
be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder. 

Registration Rights 

   
   Abraham D. Gosman has been granted certain rights by the Company with 
respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the 80,000 shares 
issuable to him on exercise of the warrants (excluding shares issuable upon 
the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock held by him that will be 
redeemed by the Company with a portion of the net proceeds from this 
Offering. See "Use of Proceeds.") 
    

   
   In addition, certain other stockholders have registration rights with 
respect to an aggregate of approximately 243,133 shares (after giving effect 
to the Reverse Split) of Common Stock upon the exercise of the outstanding 
warrants and the convertible securities, exclusive of those held by Mr. 
Gosman.

                       SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE 

   
   Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 16,990,775 shares 
of Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, all of the 6,250,000 shares 
sold in the Offering (7,187,500 shares if the Underwriters exercise their 
over-allotment option in full) will be freely tradable without restriction 
under the Securities Act, except for any such shares which may be acquired by 
an affiliate of the Company as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the 
General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 
144"). The 9,485,208 shares held by affiliates of the Company will be 
eligible for sale in the open market, subject to the contractual lockup 
provisions and applicable requirements of Rule 144 described below. 
    

   In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, an affiliate is 
entitled to sell a number of shares within any three-month period that does 
not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding shares of 
the Common Stock or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading of the 
Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under 
Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements pertaining to the manner of 
such sales, notices of such sales and the availability of current public 
information concerning the Company. 

   
   The Company, its directors and executive officers and certain other 
stockholders have agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, 
pledge, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose or cause the 
disposition of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or 
exchangeable or exercisable for such shares, for a period of 180 days after 
the date of the Underwriting Agreement without the prior written consent of 
Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. Upon completion of the Offering, sales of 
substantial amounts of Common Stock by existing stockholders could have an 
adverse impact on the market price of the Common Stock. No predictions can be 
made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of shares by existing 
stockholders or the availability of such shares for future sale will have on 
the market price of shares of Common Stock prevailing from time to time.

</TABLE>

   The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several 
Underwriters thereunder are subject to approval of certain legal matters by 
counsel and to various other conditions. The nature of the Underwriters' 
obligation is such that they must purchase all of the shares (other than 
those subject to the over-allotment option) if any are purchased. 

   The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose to offer the 
shares of Common Stock directly to the public at the public offering price 
set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers (who 
may include the Underwriters) at such public offering price less a concession 
not to exceed $    per share. Such dealers may reallow a concession not to 
exceed $    per share to other dealers. After the public offering, the public 
offering price may be reduced and concessions and reallowances to dealers may 
be changed by the Underwriters. The Representatives have informed the Company 
that the Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any account over 
which they exercise discretionary authority. The Representatives intend to 
make a market in the Common Stock after completion of the Offering. 

   
   The Selling Stockholders have granted to the Underwriters an option, 
exercisable during the 30-day period after the date of this Prospectus, to 
purchase up to an additional 937,500 shares of Common Stock pro rata from the 
Selling Stockholders at the public offering price, less underwriting 
discounts and commissions to cover over- allotments, if any. After 
commencement of this offering, the Underwriters may confirm sales subject to 
the over- allotment option. 
    

   NatWest Securities Limited, a United Kingdom broker-dealer and a member of 
the Securities and Futures Authority Limited, has agreed that, as part of the 
distribution of the Common Stock offered hereby and subject to certain 
exceptions, it will not offer any Common Stock within the United States, its 
territories or possessions, or to persons who are citizens thereof or 
residents therein. The Underwriting Agreement does not limit sale of the 
Common Stock offered hereby outside of the United States. 

   NatWest Securities Limited has further represented and agreed that (a) it 
has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any shares of Common Stock 
to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities 
involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments 
(whether as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or 
otherwise in circumstances that have not resulted and will not result in an 
offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public 
Offers of Securities Regulations 1995 or the Financial Services Act 1986 (the 
"Act"); (b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of 
the Act with respect to anything done by it in relation to the shares of 
Common Stock in, from, or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and (c) it 
has only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on, in the United

served as financial advisor to Pre-Merger CareMatrix in connection with the 
Merger. NatWest will receive a fee of approximately 108,000 shares of Common 
Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split) in connection with 
the Merger. 
    

   
   The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain 
liabilities including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute 
to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. 
    

   
   The Company, its directors and executive officers and certain other 
stockholders have agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, 
pledge, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose or cause the 
disposition of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or 
exchangeable or exercisable for such shares, for a period of 180 days after 
the date of the Underwriting Agreement without the prior written consent of 
Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. Upon completion of the Offering, sales of 
substantial amounts of Common Stock by existing stockholders could have an

   In connection with this offering, the Underwriters and other selling group 
members may engage in passive market making transactions in the Common Stock 
on the Nasdaq Small Cap System in accordance with Rule 10b-6A under the 
Exchange Act. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq 
Small Cap System limited by the price of independent market makers and 
effecting purchases limited by such prices and in response to order flow. Net 
purchases by a passive market maker on each day are limited to a specified 
percentage of the passive market maker's average daily trading volume in the 
Common Stock during a specified prior period and must be discontinued when 
such limit is reached. Passive market making may stabilize the market price 
of the Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail and, 
if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders of CareMatrix:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of CareMatrix as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related combined statements of operations and
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
the period from June 24, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994. These financial
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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 combined financial position of CareMatrix as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the combined results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the period from June 24,
1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Business and Organization

   The combined financial statements of CareMatrix ("the Company") for the
period June 24, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994 (audited), the year
ended December 31, 1995 (audited), and the six months ended June 30, 1996
(unaudited) have been prepared to reflect the combination of business entities
which have been operated since their date of inception under common control by
Abraham D. Gosman ("Mr. Gosman"), principal stockholder of the Company, directly
or through trusts.

   During the periods covered by these financial statements, the Company derived
revenues from one or more of the following services: the operation of an
inpatient nursing facility in Maryland; the operation of an outpatient
rehabilitation facility in Georgia; and the management of two inpatient nursing
facilities in Florida.

   The Company intends to provide development, management and other services in
connection with the establishment of assisted living facilities, nursing homes
and other health care facilities.

   The entities operated under common control are non-taxpaying (i.e., primarily
S Corporations, which results in taxes being the responsibility of the
respective owners), and therefore the financial statements have been presented
as further described in Note 2.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates Used in Preparation of Financial Statements

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when
accounting for the collectibility of receivables and third party settlements,
depreciation and amortization and contingencies.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments with original
maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less.

Revenue Recognition

   Net revenues are reported at the estimated realizable amounts from patients,
third-party payors and others for services rendered. Revenue under certain
third-party payor agreements is subject to audit and retroactive adjustments.
Provisions for estimated third-party payor settlements and adjustments are
estimated in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future
periods as final settlements are determined. The provision and related allowance
are adjusted periodically, based upon an evaluation of historical collection
experience with specific payors for particular services, anticipated
reimbursement levels with specific payors for new services, industry
reimbursement trends, and other relevant factors.

Third Party Reimbursement

   For the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the period from June 24, 1994
(inception) to December 31, 1994, approximately 46% and 16%, respectively, of
the Company's net revenue was derived primarily from the participation of the
Company's nursing home and outpatient rehabilitation facility in Medicare and
Medicaid programs. Medicare compensates the Company on a "cost reimbursement"
basis. Medicaid compensates the Company for nursing services, patient care and
administrative and routine services based on interim payments and re-indexed
rate payments (final settlements) subject to ceilings. In addition to extensive
existing governmental

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

health care regulation, there are numerous initiatives at the federal and state
levels for comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for and availability of
health care services. Legislative changes to federal or state reimbursement
systems could adversely and retroactively affect recorded revenues.

Property and Equipment

   Additions are recorded at cost and depreciation is recorded principally by
use of the straight-line method for buildings, improvements and equipment over
their useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the life of
the lease, if shorter. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in
income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major
renewals or improvements are capitalized.

Income Taxes

   The entities included in these financial statements are S Corporations or
partnerships; accordingly, income tax liabilities are the responsibility of the
respective owners or partners. Provisions for income taxes and deferred assets
and liabilities of the taxable entities have not been reflected in these
combined financial statements since there is no taxable income on a combined
basis.

Stock Based Compensation

   The Company is adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This standard requires the Company to
report the fair value for stock-based compensation plans either through
recognition or disclosure. The Company will disclose the pro forma net income
and pro forma net income per common and common equivalent share amounts assuming
the fair value method was adopted on January 1, 1996. The adoption of this
standard will not impact the Company's results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.

Long-Lived Assets

   The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets,
including property and equipment and intangibles, when there are indications of
potential impairment based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. The
amount of impairment is calculated by comparing anticipated discounted future
cash flows with the carrying value of the related asset. In performing this
analysis, management considers such factors as current results, trends and
future prospects, in addition to other economic factors.

   The Company is required to implement Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" in 1996. As the Company currently evaluates
the realizability of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and
intangibles, adoption of the statement is not anticipated to have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.

3. Acquisition

   During November 1994, the Company purchased the assets of an outpatient
rehabilitation facility in Atlanta, Georgia, for $702,106. In connection with
the purchase, the Company also assumed the lease obligation for the facility for
which the current lease term expires in August 1999. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and $566,312 of such purchase price was recorded as
goodwill. For the period June 24, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994, the
Company recorded a charge of $757,095 to write off impaired assets related to
the acquisition. During 1995, the Company ceased operations at this outpatient
rehabilitation facility and recorded a provision for such closure in the amount
of $894,872 which approximates the remaining lease obligations.

rehabilitation facility (see Note 3) and represent the current portion of the
remaining lease obligation. Closure costs in the amount of $894,872 were accrued
at December 31, 1995; $650,816 of this amount is classified as a long term
liability at December 31, 1995.

6. Lease Commitments

   The Company leases various office space and certain equipment pursuant to
operating lease agreements.

   Future minimum lease commitments at December 31, 1995 consisted of the

   During August 1995, the Company entered into a ten year lease for a 138-bed
nursing facility in Silver Spring, Maryland. In connection with this lease the
Company has made a $500,000 security deposit. In addition, the lease requires
that the Company provide an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of
$1,000,000 to the lessor prior to August 15, 1996. The letter of credit is
required to remain in place until the lessor is provided with a guarantee from a

8. Management Agreements

   During December 1995, the Company entered into a management agreement, with
an initial term of five years, to manage a 54-bed nursing facility in Homestead,
Florida. In accordance with the provisions of the management agreement, the
Company receives a fixed management fee plus an incentive management fee which
is calculated as a percentage of net revenues. The fixed management fee ranges
from $80,000 during the first year of the agreement to $140,000 during the fifth
year of the agreement. The incentive management fee ranges from 2.9% of net
revenues during the first year of the agreement to 2.13% of net revenues during
the fifth year of the agreement.

   During December 1995, the Company entered into a management agreement, with
an initial term of five years, to manage a 120-bed nursing facility in Miami,
Florida. The management agreement provides for a management fee which is based
upon a maximum of 6% of net revenues during the first year and 5% of net
revenues thereafter. In accordance with the management agreement, the Company
agreed to lend to the operator of the facility an Operating Loan for working
capital. The Operating Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (and
collateralized by accounts receivable), bears interest at the prime rate plus
two percent and has a final maturity upon the termination or expiration of the
management agreement.

9. Related Party

   For the year ended December 31, 1995 and the period June 24, 1994 (inception)
to December 31, 1994, Continuum Care of Massachusetts, Inc., whose principal

leases for equipment.

   The Company intends to provide development and other services in connection
with the establishment of assisted living facilities, nursing homes and other
health care facilities. The Company will provide these services to or for the
benefit of the owners of the new facilities, which owners are either
corporations or limited partnerships and, in some cases, the owners of such will
be stockholders of the Company.

excess of $1.7 billion of which Mr. Gosman is the Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, has provided financing to a skilled nursing/ assisted
living facility located in Needham, Massachusetts and owned principally by Mr.
Gosman, in the aggregate amount of $20,109,241 at December 31, 1995.

9. Related Party (Continued)

   At December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company had borrowed
$9,661,381 and $2,729,791, respectively, from Mr. Gosman. Interest on such
outstanding indebtedness at the prime rate of interest during the year ended
December 31, 1995 and the period June 24, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994
was $543,571 and $55,856, respectively. The borrowings from Mr. Gosman have a
maturity date of January 1998. Interest on the borrowings is payable upon
demand. The Company will obtain additional financing, as required, from Mr.
Gosman for working capital purposes prior to an equity offering.

10. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

   During the period from June 24, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994 the
Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the entity
described in Note 3. The transaction had the following non-cash impact on the
balance sheet:

Current assets                     $ 93,123
Property, plant and equipment        71,381
Intangibles                         566,312
Current liabilities                 (28,710)

11. Subsequent Events (Unaudited)

   During 1996 the Company, pursuant to the management agreement for the 120-bed
nursing facility in Miami, Florida, advanced the Operator of the facility
$769,904 for working capital purposes.

   During July 1996, the Company entered into a merger agreement with The
Standish Care Company ("Standish"). Under the merger agreement Standish, as the
surviving company in the merger, will acquire all of the assets and operations
of the Company and will issue 50 million shares of its common stock to the
stockholders of the Company. The merger transaction of the Company with and into
Standish will be recorded as a "reverse acquisition" for accounting purposes,
with the Company treated as the accounting acquiror, even though Standish will
be the survivor for legal purposes. In a reverse acquisition, the accounting
acquiror is treated as the surviving entity even though Standish's legal
existence does not change and the financial statements reflect the historical
financial statements of the Company. The Company, as the accounting acquiror,
will treat the merger as a purchase acquisition. The merger will be recorded
using the historical cost basis for the assets and liabilities of the Company,
and the estimated fair value of Standish's assets and liabilities. Consummation
of the merger is subject to approval by both companies' Boards of Directors and
stockholders and other closing conditions.

   In July 1996, the Company acquired a management contract from an entity
principally owned by Mr. Gosman for $2,800,000 to manage a 142-bed facility in
Needham, Massachusetts. The contract, which extends for a 25 year period,
provides for an annual management fee of approximately five percent of gross
revenues.

   During July 1996, the Company entered into agreements with a third party
whereby such third party will provide day to day management of the following
facilities: (i) the 54-bed nursing facility in Homestead, Florida; (ii) the
120-bed nursing facility in Miami, Florida; (iii) the 138-bed leased facility in
Silver Spring, Maryland; and (iv) the 142-bed facility in Needham,
Massachusetts.

     In August 1996, the Company adopted a stock option plan for officers and
employees to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of its stock. All options allow for
the purchase of the stock at prices not less than the fair value of such stock
at the date of grant. Options granted under the plan vest over a two to three
year period and expire ten years after the date of grant. As of August 31, 1996,
approximately 2,300,000 options were granted and outstanding at prices ranging
from $2.00 to $4.00 per share.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
The Standish Care Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Standish
Care Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for
each of the three years ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements and
the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of the
Bailey Retirement Center, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, whose
financial statements represent 52% of consolidated revenues for the year ended
December 1993. These statements were audited by other auditors whose report has
been forwarded to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for the Bailey Retirement Center, Inc., is based solely on the report
of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those 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, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of The Standish Care Company and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule
referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information
required to be included therein.

                           THE STANDISH CARE COMPANY
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Nature of Business

   The Standish Care Company (the "Company") is a long term care services
company which operates assisted living communities throughout the eastern United
States. The Company also provides management, marketing, development and other
services to third party owners of assisted living communities.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

   The 1993 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, Bailey Retirement Center, Inc. ("Bailey"), Dominion Villages, Inc.
("Dominion") and Standish Marketing. Bailey is a senior living community located
in Gainesville, Florida, which the Company acquired in July 1992. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Dominion
acquired a chain of three assisted living communities in Virginia on November
10, 1993. Title to the assets was assigned to a third party lender who is
leasing the assets back to Dominion. This transaction was accounted for as a
capital lease. The results of Dominion are included in the consolidated
financial statements for the period from November 10, 1993 to December 31, 1993
(Notes F and J). Standish Marketing was formed in January 1993 and until July 1,
1995 was a cost center for all marketing costs of the communities owned or
leased by Company subsidiaries.

   The 1994 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, Bailey, Dominion, Standish Marketing, Lowry Village Limited Partnership
("Lowry"), Piedmont Villages, Inc. ("Piedmont"), and Bailey Home Suites ("Bailey
Suites"). Lowry is a Florida limited partnership which is 80% owned by the
Company. Lowry purchased an assisted living facility in Tampa, Florida effective
January 1, 1994. On February 11, 1994, title to the assets was assigned to a
third party lender who is leasing the assets back to Lowry. This transaction is
being accounted for as a capital lease. Piedmont was formed to purchase a chain
of three assisted living facilities in North Carolina on March 2, 1994. Title to
the assets was assigned to a third party lender who is leasing the assets back
to Piedmont. This transaction was accounted for as an operating lease. The
results of Piedmont are included in the consolidated financial statements for
the period March 2, 1994 to December 31, 1994 (Note J). Bailey Suites is a 15
unit assisted living community in Gainesville, Florida which the Company began
leasing in September 1994. The results of Bailey Suites are included in the
consolidated financial statements for the period September 1, 1994 to December
31, 1994. The Bailey Suites transaction has been recorded as an operating lease.

   The 1995 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, Bailey, Dominion, Standish Marketing, Lowry, Piedmont, Bailey Suites
and Lakes Region L.L.C. ("Sunny Knoll"). The Company and Emeritus Corporation
("Emeritus"), a related party, through a limited liability company, acquired 51%
and 49% ownership interests, respectively, in the Sunny Knoll community located
in Franklin, New Hampshire on May 1, 1995. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting and is included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the period May 1, 1995 to December 31,
1995 (Note F). The results of Standish Marketing have been reclassified from
selling, administrative and general expenses to community operating expense for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 for presentation
purposes in amounts of $139,840 and $361,277, respectively. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial
statements.

   Investments in limited partnerships (Note E) in which the Company owns less
than 20%, are accounted for by the cost method of accounting.

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

   Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company will continue to measure

123.

   Service revenue fees paid by residents for housing, health care and other
related services are recognized in the period services are rendered. Management
fees are recognized in the period in which the Company provides services.
Development fees and other revenue are recorded when the Company fulfills its
contractual obligations.

   The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

agreements for Dominion, Lowry and Piedmont. The letters of credit are required
to stay in place for the ten year life of the leases. The Bailey debt service
reserve is required to stay in place for the five year life of the loan. The

outstanding, for which the Company provided certain credit enhancements to the
purchaser of the Group A SLI Bonds in the form of a guarantee in January 1993
(Notes C and G).

Property, Plant and Equipment

   Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. The cost and related
accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed
from the related accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
Major additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense as incurred. The straight-line method is used to depreciate
the cost of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives as
follows:

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income Taxes

   In the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 entitled "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109). The adoption
of this pronouncement had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of
the Company for the year ended December 31, 1993.

   The Company follows the liability method for accounting for income taxes.
Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded
based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Computation of Earnings Per Share

   Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss for the year
plus any dividends accrued, paid, or in arrears on the Company's $.01 par value
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Convertible Preferred Stock")
by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. Dividends
paid in 1995 and 1994 totaled approximately $64,025 and $195,588, respectively.
Dividends were in arrears for the quarters ended June 30, 1994, September 30,
1994, December 31, 1994, September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995. At December
31, 1995, the aggregate dividends in arrears on Convertible Preferred Stock
totaled $156,175 (Note Q).

Write-off of Financing Costs and Other Related Costs

   Write-off of financing costs and other related costs of approximately
$528,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 represents legal, accounting,
printing, due diligence and other related costs the Company incurred in
connection with a proposed financing and its proposed related acquisition of
four assisted living communities (the "Acquisition"). No such costs were
incurred in either 1994 or 1993.

   In August 1995, the Company decided not to proceed with its financing and
also assigned to Emeritus its rights and obligations to the Acquisition in
exchange for an assignment fee (Note H). As a result, the Company wrote off the
costs associated with both its proposed financing and the Acquisition.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

   The Company recorded $74,000, $338,000 and $240,000 to provide for
potentially uncollectible accounts receivable related to certain management and
marketing contracts at December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

   The Company also recorded a provision for community doubtful accounts of
$110,000, $9,000 and $0 at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
amounts have been included in community operating expenses.

Severance Costs

   Severance Costs of $232,874 for the year ended December 31, 1995 represents
certain costs associated with an Early Retirement and Non-Competition Agreement
between the Company and Dr. C. Joel Glovsky, a co-founder and former Director
and Officer of the Company. No such expense was recorded in either 1994 or 1993
(Notes H and M).

Write-off of Investment in Development Projects

   In 1994, the Company wrote-off approximately $833,000 of costs associated
with various developments in which the Company either is no longer holding an
interest or in which the estimated realizable value was significantly decreased.
No such expense was recorded in either 1995 or 1993.

Assignment Fee from Related Party

   Other income of $1,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 represents
the assignment fee (payable in installments) the Company recognized for
assigning its rights and obligations of the Acquisition to Emeritus. No such fee
was recorded in either 1994 or 1993. At December 31, 1995, $300,000 of this fee
was included in the current portion of Due From Related Parties.

Reclassification

   Certain amounts in the 1993 and 1994 consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.

C. Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

   Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company
places its cash investments in short term highly liquid investments. All other
cash is held in various banks, each of which is a federally insured financial
institution. Receivables are primarily from management, marketing and
development fees and its assignment fees due from Emeritus (Notes B and H).
Management has established a reserve of approximately $448,000 at December 31,
1995 and $361,000 at December 31, 1994 to account for the potential
uncollectability of certain outstanding balances. In addition, approximately
$96,000 and $54,000 of certain accounts receivable were written off during 1995
and 1994, respectively. Management believes all other accounts receivable
outstanding to be fully collectible.

   As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, the Company held SLI Bonds
(Note G) related to two communities, Fox Ridge Manor and Victoria Manor, with a
carrying value of $24,471 and $23,487. The future value of these Bonds is
dependent on the cash flows of these communities and the ability of SLI to pay
interest on the bonds on a current basis. These bonds accrue interest at 10.5%
but interest payments are subordinated to senior debt service as well as to
management fees payable to the Company. Currently, the cash flows of SLI are not
adequate to support subordinated debt service payments. A portion of the SLI
Bonds are currently held for sale and other portions of such Bonds were sold in
separate transactions in the first, second and third quarters of 1993, for
amounts in excess of the carrying value. Certain of the sales involved credit
enhancements provided by the Company (Notes B and G). During 1994 and the first
quarter of 1995, the Company repurchased SLI subordinated bonds at their par
value of $24,700 (Note G).

D. Public Offering of Preferred Stock

   The Company completed a public offering on September 9, 1993 of 700,000
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, on October 22, 1993,
pursuant to an over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 82,350
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. Net proceeds from the sales of
Convertible Preferred Stock, after subtracting costs such as underwriting,
legal, accounting and printing fees, were approximately $6,112,000.

Development Agency Agreement

   In December 1993, the Company terminated the Development Agency Agreement
dated October 1, 1991 and amended December 31, 1992, with a former affiliate of
the Company (the "Development Agent"). During 1991, the Company and the
Development Agent made equity contributions totaling $125,000 each for the
development of a community. In addition, in November 1991, the Company
authorized the issuance of 6,301 restricted shares of its common stock for no
consideration to the Development Agent effective at the date of the Company's
Initial Public Offering of its common stock in 1992. The Company recognized in
1994 approximately $14,571 as expense which represented the fair market value of
the stock on the date that the restrictions on this stock lapsed.

Standish Oaktree/Adams Square Limited Partnership

   In December 1993, the partners of Standish Oaktree Limited Partnership agreed
to dissolve the partnership. Pursuant to the dissolution, the Company, through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Standish/Oaktree Development Corp., holds 30% of
the 1% partnership interest of Adams Square, Inc., the General Partner of Adams
Square Limited Partnership. Adams Square Limited Partnership owns the Standish
Village at Lower Mills community ("Lower Mills") located in Dorchester,
Massachusetts. The Standish Oaktree Limited Partnership withdrew as a general
and limited partner of the Adams Square Partnership in 1993. Chevron USA, an
unrelated third party, holds a 99% limited partner interest. However, cash flow
and capital distributions are allocated differently under certain circumstances,
subject to certain priority distributions, some of which are to the Company.

   The Company has been retained as the manager and marketing agent for the
community. The Company also is entitled to reimbursement of certain
out-of-pocket expenses and development fees as priority payments from cash flow.
In January 1994, the Company executed a $127,000 demand note to the General
Partner of the Adams Square Partnership as part of its initial capitalization.
The Company also funded approximately $123,000 of working capital deficits
associated with Standish Village at Lower Mills during 1995. At December 31,
1995, approximately $23,000 was included in Due From Related Parties.

Cornish Realty Associates, L.P.

   At December 31, 1993, the investment in Cornish Realty Associates, L.P.
("Cornish") represented two separate $250,000 investments made during 1993 for
the Laurelmead development project in Providence, Rhode Island. In March 1993,
the Company entered into a marketing and management agreement with Cornish with
respect to the independent living portion of that community. This contract
stipulated that the Company would receive a marketing fee of $2,500 per month
(Note H).

   In October, 1993, the Company and Cornish modified the terms of the
Company's marketing fees in light of changes in the marketing strategy and to
provide further incentive to the Company to achieve its sales goal. Under

these modified terms, the Company, upon the sale and closing of 155 independent
living units or 95% of available units, whichever is less (on or before the date
which is one year after that date on which the first resident moves into the
community), would be entitled to a lump-sum marketing fee of $300,000. If the
sales goal is not fully achieved within that one-year period, the marketing fee
payable to the Company will decrease at the rate of $1,000 for each day until
either the sales goal is achieved or the expiration of 300 days. As of February
12, 1996, 119 independent living units have been sold and the one-year sale
completion period commenced on November 18, 1994. The Company recognized revenue
of $60,000 of the $300,000 total potential marketing fee in the first quarter of
1994 as 87 units had been sold to date. At December 31, 1995, the Company wrote
off the $60,000 marketing fee revenue it recorded in the first quarter of 1994.

   Simultaneously, the Company and Cornish agreed to reduce the Company's
investment in Cornish from a 12.375% limited partnership interest to a 6.188%
limited partnership interest. Accordingly, in February, 1994 Cornish returned
half of the Company's $500,000 investment or $250,000.

   The limited partnership agreement stipulates that upon the receipt of a
prescribed dollar value of sale proceeds, the Company is entitled to receive its
remaining initial investment of $250,000. In addition, the Company is entitled
to a preferred return on its investment at the rate of 15% per annum. In
accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company received $125,000 of its
remaining $250,000 investment during the first quarter of 1995. During 1995, the
Company accrued approximately $100,000 of preferred return. The Company included
this amount in interest income in its consolidated statement of operations (Note
H).

F. Property, Plant and Equipment

   Property, plant and equipment at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the
following:

   On November 10, 1993, the Company entered into a capital lease arrangement to
lease various land, furniture and buildings of Dominion. Based on a valuation
performed on the assets covered under the Company's lease agreement by an
outside independent appraiser and additional costs associated with this
transaction such as the assumption of debt and closing costs, the Company
allocated the present value of the lease payment as follows: $700,189 to land,
$348,353 to furniture, fixtures and equipment and $6,011,410 to buildings.
Accumulated depreciation includes $507,797 and $237,624 for these assets at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 (Note J).

   On February 11, 1994, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement to
lease the land, furniture and the building of the Lowry community. Based on an
independent appraisal of the property and the amount of debt financing provided
by a lender and additional costs associated with this transaction such as the
assumption of debt and closing costs, the Company allocated the present value of
the lease payments as follows: $257,189 to land, $139,010 to furniture, fixtures
and equipment and $1,455,132 to the building. Accumulated depreciation includes
$134,280 and $67,140 for these assets at December 31, 1995 and 1994 (Note J).

   The Company and Emeritus, through a limited liability company, acquired a 51%
and 49% ownership interest, respectively, in the Sunny Knoll community located
in Franklin, New Hampshire in May 1995. The acquisition

was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase
price was approximately $2,500,000. The purchase price exceeded the fair value
of the building and equipment by $1,536,000. This amount has been recorded as
goodwill and is being amortized over 32 years. The purchase price was funded
with (a) a $1,100,000 note from the seller which bears interest at 12% per annum
through April 1996 and 14% per annum thereafter and matures on April 30, 1997,
(b) a mortgage from a bank which the Company assumed for $750,000 which bears
interest at prime plus 1.75% and matures in April 1997, (c) a $600,000 note from
Emeritus bearing interest at 10% and which matures on April 30, 1998 and (d)
$150,000 funded by the Company. The Company guaranteed approximately $1,850,000
of the obligations of the limited liability company payable to the seller in
future years. Emeritus guaranteed $1,100,000 of these same obligations. The
Company is entitled to a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenues, a
preferred return of 10% on its $150,000 investment and 20% of the excess cash
flow after management fees, debt service and funding of reserves. Emeritus is
entitled to a 10% preferred return on its $600,000 note and 80% of the excess
cash flow until its note is repaid in full. After Emeritus' note is repaid in
full, the Company and Emeritus split excess cash flow in accordance with their
economic interests, 51% to the Company and 49% to Emeritus.

G. Assets Held for Sale

Land

   At December 31, 1992, the Company held a parcel of land it owned in Florida
for sale, which it sold in January 1993. This land had a basis of approximately
$128,000 and was sold for $725,000, of which the Company received $456,000 in
cash and a note for $269,000. The Company used the proceeds from this sale to
pay down the existing mortgage on the land and its outstanding $188,000 letter
of credit. The total 1993 gain with respect to this transaction was $597,000.
The Company recognized the gain to the extent cash was received. The remainder
of the gain was deferred. The note beared interest at 12% per annum. Interest
and principal were payable to the Company within ten (10) days of written notice
to the borrower. In 1994, the Company determined there was substantial doubt
regarding the collectability of the note. Accordingly, the Company wrote off the
note receivable of $269,000 and the corresponding $221,000 deferred gain in
1994. The net charge to the 1994 consolidated statement of operations was
$48,000.

Subordinated Debt Securities

   Among the communities managed by the Company for the account of third parties
are two communities in Pennsylvania owned by SLI; Fox Ridge Manor and Victoria
Manor ("SLI Communities"). In July 1992, the Company paid $500,000 for a
management contract with SLI for these communities and to purchase subordinated
bonds of SLI (the "SLI Bonds"), having a face value of $1,495,000. Based on a
valuation performed by an investment banking firm, the Company allocated the
$500,000 purchase price as follows: $238,000 to the management contract and
$262,000 to the SLI bonds. During 1993, the Company resold SLI bonds in the
aggregate face amount of $1,303,500 which bear interest at 10.5% annually with
interest payments due semi-annually in three separate transactions. In the first
of these transactions, the Company resold, for $550,000, SLI bonds in the face
amount of $900,000 (the "Group A SLI Bonds") to an investor group and guaranteed
the payment of interest and principal on such bonds. In the second transaction,
the Company resold, for $203,500; SLI bonds in the face amount of $203,500 (the
"Group B SLI Bonds") to a second investor group and guaranteed the payment of
interest and principal on such bonds. Because of such guarantees, the Company
deferred recognition of its $538,000 aggregate gain in these two resale
transactions. In the third 1993 transaction, the Company resold, for $200,000,
SLI bonds in the face amount of $200,000 (the "Group C SLI Bonds"), to another
investor group. The Company provided no guarantee or other credit enhancement
commitment in connection with the resale of the Group C SLI Bonds.

   Since the cash flows of the SLI Communities have been insufficient to fund
the interest payments on the Group A SLI Bonds and the Group B SLI Bonds, the
Company is funding total interest payments of $115,000 per year

on the Group A and Group B SLI Bonds. Because of the uncertainty of the ability
of the SLI Communities to generate adequate cash flow to fund the debt service
requirements on the SLI Bonds, the Company expects that its payments of interest
on the Group A and Group B SLI Bonds will continue for an indefinite period. The
first scheduled payment of principal on the Group A SLI Bonds in the amount of
$10,300 is due in October 1996, and the first scheduled payment of principal on
the Group B SLI Bonds in the amount of approximately $2,300 is due October 1996.
Thereafter, scheduled annual payment of principal on the Group A SLI Bonds,
beginning in the amount of $10,300 and increasing in amount to $90,000 in the
year 2018, and on the Group B SLI Bonds, beginning in the amount of $2,300 and
increasing in amount to $20,700, are due to increase until October 2018. Bond
payments extend through October 2019. At this time, the Company is uncertain as
to whether it will be required to make the principal payments on the Group A SLI
Bonds and/or the Group B SLI Bonds.

   Under the terms of the sale agreement for the Group A SLI Bonds, the Company
was obligated to place the first two months of interest payments due on such
Group A SLI Bonds in an escrow account. The Company subordinated its management
fee to the payment of the bond interest. Accordingly, the Company deposits with
the escrow agent a balance equal to the interest payable at the beginning of
each month. The terms of the sale agreement require the Company to substitute
another management agreement of equal or greater value in the event the Company
is discharged as manager of SLI, or management fees are not received for three
consecutive months and an equivalent dollar amount is not paid by the Company.
The Company has the right to repurchase the Group A SLI Bonds during the periods
February 1 through May 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 at a price of $630,000, $720,000
and $810,000, respectively, less any principal payment made to that point.

   The sale of the bonds in the first quarter of 1993 resulted in proceeds
exceeding carrying value by $488,000. During the first quarter of 1993, the
Company recognized a gain of $158,000 on the sale of the Group C SLI Bonds with
no credit enhancements. The Company deferred the entire gain of $371,000,
related to the sale of the Group A SLI Bonds which were credit enhanced, pending
improved cash flows from the SLI communities. The Company also deferred
approximately $20,000 of legal costs and commissions associated with the sale of
the Group A SLI Bonds and netted this balance against the deferred gain in
connection with that sale. The Company deferred the entire gain totaling
approximately $187,000 associated with the sale of the Group B SLI Bonds.

   During 1994 and the first quarter of 1995, the Company repurchased Group C
SLI Bonds at their face amount of $24,700. At December 31, 1995, the carrying
value on the Company's balance sheet of the remaining $221,000 face amount of
SLI bonds outstanding is $24,471.

   The Company's Other Income of $1,000,000 consists of the assignment fee
realized by the Company from its assignment to Emeritus of August 31, 1995 of
the Company's rights and obligations to the Acquisition (Note B). As of December
31, 1995, the Company had received $700,000 of the assignment fee.

   On December 29, 1995, the Company and Dr. C. Joel Glovsky ("Dr. Glovsky"),
a co-founder, director and officer of the Company, entered into an Early
Retirement and Non-Competition Agreement (Note M).

   On December 5, 1995, the Company received a notice of default from Cornish,
the general partner of Laurelmead, a 161 unit independent living community in
Providence, Rhode Island with respect to its Management and Marketing Agreement,
as amended (the "Agreement"). The notice of default alleged numerous instances
in which Cornish alleges the Company did not comply with the Management and
Marketing Agreement and commenced the Company's 30 day cure period thereunder.
The Company believes it has complied with the terms and conditions of the
Agreement and that it is entitled to its full compensation due under the
Agreement.

Furthermore, the Company maintains that Cornish itself is in breach of its
express and implied obligations under the Agreement.

   The parties have entered into an agreement whereby Standish has agreed to
resign as the Manager of Laurelmead effective April 1, 1996. The Company will
receive management fees through March 31, 1996. The Company will also receive
its limited partnership interest in Cornish Realty Associates, L.P. of $125,000
and its accrued interest on its investment. The balance is payable as follows:
$10,000 per month for six months beginning in May 1996 and ending in October
1996, $80,000 is payable on December 15, 1996 and a final payment of $75,000 is
payable on December 15, 1997.

   On January 23, 1996, the Company received from Emeritus a notice of
termination with respect to its Management and Marketing Agreement ("Agreement")
at the Pines of Tewksbury. In its notice, Emeritus alleges that the Company is
in material breach of its Agreement. On January 25, 1996, the Company responded
to this notice. The Company's position is that under the terms and conditions of
the Agreement, the Company may only be terminated by Emeritus if the Company
fails to cure any alleged default in performance under the Agreement within
thirty days (or longer period if a cure, pursued with reasonable diligence,
reasonably requires greater than 30 days) after written notice of an alleged
default.

</TABLE>

   The most restrictive covenants with respect to the Bailey mortgage borrowing
requires Bailey to maintain an annual debt coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1. In
addition, under the terms of the loan, the Company was required to establish a
debt service reserve fund of approximately $61,032 which represents six monthly
debt service payments. The Company was also required to establish a depreciation
fund of $2,500 and the Company is required to deposit an additional $2,500 into
this fund each month. The depreciation fund may only be used for capital
improvements at Bailey.

   In June 1994, the Company completed a financing transaction with Emeritus and
its chairman Daniel R. Baty. Emeritus has provided the Company with $2,000,000
in working capital loans in the form of convertible debentures which are
convertible at the option of the holder, and, in certain cases at the election
of the Company, into common stock at a price of $4.16 per share, subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments. The working capital loans accrue interest
at 8.5% and are due June 1998. The most restrictive covenant with respect to the
convertible debentures is a cross default clause which allows Emeritus to
accelerate the repayment of the debentures by declaring the unpaid principal
balance and all accrued interest on the debentures due and payable immediately.

   The most restrictive covenants with respect to the Sunny Knoll debt requires
Sunny Knoll to maintain a minimum of twenty (20) residents and an average daily
rate per resident of $110. Sunny Knoll is also required to maintain a debt
service coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0, and the Company and Emeritus must
also maintain readily available liquid assets of not less than $750,000.

   The most restrictive covenants with respect to the Dominion, Lowry and
Piedmont leases require each entity to maintain a debt coverage ratio of 1.15 to
1.0 during the first year of the lease and 1.25 and 1.0 thereafter. In addition,
the Company as guarantor of the lease payments is required to maintain
consolidated net worth of at least $3,000,000.

   During 1994, the Company did not comply with certain of its debt covenants
(primarily related to the debt coverage ratio requirements) associated with its
Dominion, Lowry and Piedmont Lease agreements. The Company obtained waivers for
each of these debt covenant violations through December 31, 1994 and a
modification of the debt coverage ratio requirements for 1995. The modified
covenants for 1995 required the Company to maintain a consolidated net worth of
not less than $500,000, and Dominion, Lowry and Piedmont to maintain a combined
quarterly weighted debt coverage ratio of at least .75 to 1.00 through December
31, 1995. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues are not to exceed 30%, 25% and 20% for the years ending
December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 1995,
Dominion, Lowry and Piedmont will each be required to maintain a quarterly debt
coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0.

I. Short-term borrowings and long-term debt (Continued)

   During 1995, the Company did not comply with certain of its debt covenants,
primarily related to the debt coverage ratio requirements associated with its
Dominion, Lowry and Piedmont lease agreements. In addition, the Company did not
comply with its covenant of maintaining at least $500,000 of consolidated net
worth. In March 1996, the Company (a) obtained waivers for each of the defaults
which occurred in 1995 and (b) modified certain covenants for 1996. The modified
covenants for 1996 require Dominion, Lowry and Piedmont to maintain a combined
quarterly average debt coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 through December
31, 1996 and requires the Company to maintain a consolidated negative net worth
no greater than $110,000, $609,000, $1,000,000 and $1,350,000 for the quarters
ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

   On February 20, 1996, the note payable to a minority partner was revised to
extend the maturity date from December 31, 1996 to April 1, 1997.

   At December 31, 1995, the maturities of the notes, convertible debentures and
capital leases over the next five fiscal years are as follows:

J. Leases

Dominion

   On November 10, 1993, the Company and Dominion, a Virginia corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a transaction with a lender
under which (1) the Company assigned its rights to acquire the Facilities under
the Purchase and Sale agreement to the lender, (2) the lender acquired title to
the Facilities, (3) the lender leased the Facilities to Dominion, and (4) the
Company guaranteed the obligations of Dominion under the lease with the lender.
The lease to Dominion is for an initial term of ten years and Dominion has the
right to extend the term for two additional periods of five years each. On June
28, 1995 the Company received $576,000 of additional funding. The lease terms
remain the same except that the Company is required to make monthly payments to
the lender based on a lease advance of $5,200,000 and an applicable lease
interest rate. Interest on the lease is based on the ten year interest rate for
treasury notes plus 5%. In addition, the interest rate increases by 40 basis
points per year in years 2-6 of the lease and 33 basis points in years 7-10.

   Dominion also has an option to purchase the facilities which is
exercisable prior to the expiration of the initial term and each extension
period. This option to purchase qualifies as a bargain purchase option. The
Company is

accreting the bargain purchase option over the lease term of ten years given
that the purchase option is exercisable at an amount less than the current fair
market value.

Lowry

   On February 11, 1994, the Company and Lowry, a Florida partnership and 80%
owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a transaction with a lender under
which (1) the Company assigned its rights to acquire the facility under a
purchase and sale agreement to the lender, (2) the lender acquired title to the
facility, (3) the lender leased the facility to Lowry, and (4) the Company
guaranteed the obligations of Lowry under the lease with the lender. The lease
to Lowry is for an initial term of ten years and Lowry has the right to extend
the term for two additional periods of five years each. The Company is required
to make monthly payments to the lender based on a lease advance of $1,300,000
and an applicable lease interest rate. Interest on the lease is based on the ten
year interest rate for treasury notes plus 5%. In addition, the interest rate
increases by 40 basis points per year in years 2-6 of the lease and 33 basis
points in years 7-10.

   Lowry also has an option to purchase the facilities which is exercisable
prior to the expiration of the initial term and each extension period. This
option to purchase qualifies as a bargain purchase option. The Company is
accreting the bargain purchase option over the lease term of ten years given
that the purchase option is exercisable at an amount less than the current fair
market value.

Piedmont

   On March 2, 1994, the Company and Piedmont, a North Carolina corporation and
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a transaction with a lender
under which (1) the Company assigned its rights to acquire the facility under
the purchase and sale agreement to the lender, (2) the lender acquired title to
the facility, (3) the lender leased the facility to Piedmont, and (4) the
Company guaranteed the obligations of Piedmont under the lease with the lender.
The lease to Piedmont is for an initial term of ten years and Piedmont has the
right to extend the term for two additional periods of five years each. On May
25, 1995 the lender made a $750,000 lease advance. Lease terms remain unchanged
except that the Company is required to make monthly payments to the lender based
on a lease advance of $4,250,000 and an applicable lease interest rate. Interest
on the lease is based on the ten year interest rate for treasury notes plus 5%.
In addition, the interest rate increases by 40 basis points per year in years
2-6 of the lease and 33 basis points in years 7-10. This transaction has been
accounted for as an operating lease by the Company.

Bailey Suites

   On July 26, 1994, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease a 15
unit facility in Gainesville, Florida for a two year period with the right to
extend the term of the lease for five additional periods of two years. The
Company is required to pay rent of $1,250 per month, pay the lessor's mortgage
of $2,437 per month and pay all operating expenses of the community including
real estate taxes and insurance. The Company is entitled to a $3,500 per month
management fee, may earn marketing fees upon the achievement of certain
occupancy milestones and is entitled to 40% of any excess cash flow of the
community.

Other Leases

   The Company leases its offices and certain equipment under operating leases,
which expire at various dates through 1997. The Company has the option to
purchase the equipment at fair market value at the end of the leases. In
addition, the Company is treating its Piedmont acquisition as an operating lease
which expires in the year 2004. At December 31, 1995, the future minimum lease
payments under non-cancelable leases are as follows:

1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively, was charged to operations. In 1995, 1994 and
1993, the Company subleased its former office space and recorded $7,851, $12,000
and $41,573, respectively, in sublease rental income. The sublease agreement
expired in January 1996. The Company recorded $566,612, $390,558 and $0 of rent

K. Proforma Results of Operations

   The following represents the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if
Sunny Knoll was acquired at the beginning of 1995 and as if Sunny Knoll and
Piedmont were acquired, through the aforementioned lease transaction, at the
beginning of the prior year. The pro forma operating results do not include the
results of Bailey Suites. This entity is not considered a significant subsidiary
as it represents less than 10% of the Company's assets.

   The pro forma operating results include results of operations for 1995 and
1994 with increased depreciation and amortization on property, plant and
equipment associated with the lease of Piedmont and the acquisition of Sunny
Knoll.

   The pro forma information given above does not purport to be indicative of
the results that actually would have been attained if the operations were
combined during the period presented, and is not intended to be a projection of
future results or trends.

L. Income Taxes

   At December 31, 1995, the Company has available for federal income tax
purposes, subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code,
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,136,000 for tax reporting
purposes. There are no significant book to tax differences associated with these
temporary differences. Carryforwards expire in the years 2004 through 2010.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

L. Income taxes (Continued)

   Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of FAS 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income taxes under the liability method
required by FAS 109 reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
the amounts used for income tax purposes. There are no significant book to tax
differences associated with these temporary differences. A valuation allowance
is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred
asset will not be realized.

   There was no cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 on the Company's net loss
for the year ended December 31, 1993.

   The Company's deferred tax assets are comprised of the following at December
31, 1995:

Loss carryforward and other deferred assets    $ 4,371,000
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance          (4,371,000)
                                               ------------
                                               $         --
                                               ============

   The valuation allowance has been established since the use of the loss
carryforwards is uncertain. The loss carryforwards and the related valuation
allowance have increased since January 1995 by approximately $840,450 as a
result of operating losses for the year ended December 31, 1995.

   The provision for income taxes as of December 31, 1993 is comprised solely of
current state taxes payable.

M. Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Contracts

   The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its
executives, which provide for payments to these executives of either 2.99 times
or 1.0 times their average annual salary in the event they are terminated by the
Company within a twenty-four (24) month period following certain changes in
control. The maximum contingent liability under these agreements at December 31,
1995 was approximately $635,000.

Early Retirement and Non-Competition Agreement

   On December 29, 1995, the Company and Dr. C. Joel Glovsky ("Dr. Glovsky"), a
co-founder, director and officer of the Company, entered into an Early
Retirement and Non-Competition Agreement (the "Agreement"). Under the terms of
the Agreement, Dr. Glovsky resigned as a director and an officer of the Company
effective December 31, 1995, the Company and Dr. Glovsky agreed to terminate his
employment agreement which was scheduled to expire on December 31, 1997 and the
Company agreed to enter into a five year consulting agreement with Dr. Glovsky.
Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Dr. Glovsky will provide services
to the Company on an as needed basis over the next five (5) years. The Company
will pay Dr. Glovsky $60,000 per annum for these services and will also provide
Dr. Glovsky with health insurance, life insurance and other certain benefits
through 1997. As part of the Agreement, the Company also agreed to forgive loans
that the Company had extended to Dr. Glovsky as well as pay income taxes on
behalf of Dr. Glovsky for the forgiveness of these loans. The Company also
entered into a non-compete agreement with Dr. Glovsky and fully vested Dr.
Glovsky's stock options. The following summarizes the components of the
Agreement:

</TABLE>

   The Company will record compensation expense of approximately $369,000 over
the next five years as Dr. Glovsky provides services under the consulting
agreement. In addition, the Company capitalized the cost associated with the
non-compete agreement and will amortize the balance over the life of the
non-compete agreement which is three years.

   If Dr. Glovsky's shares beneficially owned by him are not acquired in or as
part of a merger or take-over proposal on or before December 31, 1996 at a per
share value of at least $5.00, Dr. Glovsky's monthly consulting fee will be
increased by $4,000 per month and Dr. Glovsky has the right to require the
Company to purchase up to 65,000 of his shares at a purchase price of $6.00 per
share.

N. Legal Proceedings

   The Company from time to time is named a defendant in lawsuits which arise in
the normal course of its business. As of February 14, 1996, the Company was
involved in seven such lawsuits. The Company believes it has meritorious
defenses to each of the complaints and is vigorously defending its position in
each claim. Should the Company be found to be liable in any instance, management
believes that the resulting claim against the Company, if any, would not be
material.

O. Stock Option Plans

   In October 1991, the Company adopted the 1991 Combination Stock Option Plan
(the "Option Plan"). The Option Plan provides for the granting to key employees
of the Company, stock options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options"
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), as well as "non-qualified options" not intended to
qualify. A total of 135,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance
under the Option Plan. In August 1993, the stockholders approved an amendment to
the Plan which increased the shares to be reserved for issuance to 285,000
shares. In May 1994, the stockholders approved an amendment to the plan which
increased the shares to be reserved for issuance to 535,000 shares. In June
1995, the stockholders approved an amendment to the plan which increased the
shares to be reserved for issuance to 785,000 shares. The Option Plan is
administered by the Board of Directors.

   Subject to the terms of the Option Plan, the Board of Directors are
authorized to select options and determine the number of shares covered by each
option, its exercise price and other terms. Options under the 1991 Plan may not
be granted after August 31, 2001. The exercise price of incentive stock options
granted under the Option Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the date of grant and cannot be

O. Stock option plans (Continued)

less than 110% of such fair market value with respect to any incentive stock
option granted to a participant who owns 10% or more of the Company's
outstanding common stock. The exercise price of non-qualified options granted
under the Option Plan cannot be less than 50% of the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the date of grant. Options become exercisable in equal
annual installments over two to three years. The period within which any option
may be exercised cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant. Options
pursuant to the 1991 Plan held by a terminated employee expire three months
after the Option holder ceases to be an employee except in the event of death or
disability.

   In June 1995, the Company's stockholders approved the 1995 Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Directors Plan"). The
Directors Plan provides that each year on the first Friday following the
Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Grant Date"), each individual
elected, re-elected or continuing as a Non-Employee Director will automatically
receive a non-qualified stock option for 6,000 shares of Common Stock, subject
to adjustment resulting from changes in capitalization. 180,000 shares of Common
Stock are reserved for issuance under the Directors Plan. Options granted under
the Directors Plan vest one-third on the Grant Date, one-third on the Friday
prior to the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the Grant Date, and
one-third on the Friday prior to the second Annual Meeting of Stockholders
following the grant date. Options under the Directors Plan expire ten years from
the date of grant.

   Under the Directors Plan's formula, the exercise price for options granted
will be either 100% of the simple average of the high and low price at which the
Common Stock traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation ("NASDAQ") Small-Cap System on the date of the grant or the last sale
price of Common Stock on the NASDAQ on the date of grant, whichever is higher.

   Information concerning options to purchase shares of common stock under both
the Option Plan and the Director's Plan for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1994 and 1995 is as follows:

Q. Preferred Stock

   In September 1993, the Company issued 700,000 shares of $.01 par value Series
A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Convertible Preferred Stock") for
$10 per share. In October 1993, the Company issued an additional 82,350 shares
of the Convertible Preferred Stock also at $10 per share. The Company is
authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of the preferred stock generally. At
December 31, 1993, there were 782,350 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
outstanding.

   In March 1994, the Company filed an issuer tender offer statement (the
"Offer") on Schedule 13E-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which the
Company offered to exchange 2.6 shares of the Company's common stock for each
outstanding share of the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock. The Offer
expired on July 1, 1994. Those stockholders who tendered their preferred shares
for shares of common stock forfeited any accrued dividends. Of the 782,350
shares of the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at the
commencement of the Offer, 654,300 or 84% were tendered pursuant to the Offer
and accepted for exchange by the Company. On December 31, 1994, there were
128,050 preferred shares outstanding.

   The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks with respect to dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to the Common Stock. Dividends
are cumulative from the date of original issue at the rate of $1.00 per share
per annum, payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30
of each year. Dividends are declared at the Board of Directors' discretion and
paid out of funds legally available therefor. The Company paid cash dividends on
the Convertible Preferred Stock of approximately $195,588 on March 31, 1994. The
Board of Directors voted to omit the payout of the dividend on the Convertible
Preferred Stock for the quarters ending June 30, 1994, September 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1994. The Company paid cash dividends on the Convertible Preferred
Stock of approximately $32,013 on both March 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995. The
Board of Directors voted to omit the payout of the dividend on the Convertible
Preferred Stock for the quarters ending September 30, 1995 and December 31,
1995. These dividends, although not declared or paid, remain cumulative without
interest. Failure to pay any quarterly dividend results in a reduction of the
conversion price but not below the then par value of

the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred
Stock. Dividends in arrears totaled $156,175 at December 31, 1995. In December
1995, certain preferred shareholders of the Company converted their Convertible
Preferred Stock to Common Stock. These preferred shareholders converted 15,550
preferred shares to 40,674 common shares at the conversion rate then in effect.
At December 31, 1995 there were 112,500 preferred shares outstanding.

   The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time prior to
redemption into, initially, two shares of Common Stock for each share of the
Convertible Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price is equal to $5.00 per
share and is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The conversion
price of the Convertible Preferred Stock at December 31, 1995 was $3.56. The
Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company after September 1, 1996
at $10.00 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, under certain
circumstances.

   Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a preferential liquidation
distribution equivalent to $10.00 per share plus accumulated and unpaid
dividends before any distribution to holders of the Common Stock or any capital
stock ranking junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock.

   Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will not have voting rights except
(i) with respect to the creation, authorization or issuance of capital stock
ranking senior to or in parity with (in certain respects) to the Convertible
Preferred Stock and with respect to certain amendments to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) if the Company shall have failed to declare
and pay or set apart for payment in full the preferential dividends accumulated
on the Convertible Preferred Stock for any four quarterly dividend payment
periods, whether or not consecutively, (iii) in connection with a consolidation
into or merger with any corporation, firm or entity, or sale, lease or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets unless the
Company is the surviving entity, and (iv) as otherwise required by law. Except
for clause (ii) above, holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to one vote per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately
as a single class, on all matters on which the Convertible Preferred Stock is
entitled to vote. In the event the Company fails to pay current dividends as
provided in clause (ii) above, holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to vote, on a one vote per share of Convertible Preferred Stock
basis, with the holders of Common Stock on all matters thereafter submitted
including the election of directors.

R. Subsequent Events

Working Capital Loan

   On January 16, 1996, pursuant to a letter of intent for a then proposed
business combination, Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS") loaned the sum of
$250,000 to the Company for working capital purposes. This loan is repayable to
IHS in accordance with a promissory note which bears interest at 8.5%, interest
payable semi-annually. Under certain circumstances up to $100,000 of the
promissory note could become payable prior to the maturity date of January 15,
1998.

Signing of Letter of Intent

   On March 15, 1996, the Company and Emeritus jointly announced the signing of
an agreement in principal to merge in a tax-free stock-for-stock transaction.
Under the terms of the agreement in principal, shareholders of the Company would
receive .1845 shares (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances) of
Emeritus Common Stock for each share of Standish Common Stock outstanding or
issuable upon conversion of the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock. The
Exchange ratio was based on a market price of $21.00 per share of Emeritus
Common Stock. There will be a one year escrow of 5% of the Emeritus Common Stock
issued in the transaction to cover any inaccuracies in the representations and
warranties. The transaction is subject to negotiation and

execution of a definitive merger agreement and will be subject to approval by
the Company's shareholders. The transaction will also be conditioned on
qualifying the transaction as a "pooling of interests" and as a tax-free
reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code.

Fox Ridge Manor Transaction

   On March 25, 1996, the Company received approximately $825,000 for back
management fees and prior investments in connection with the refinancing and
sale by a third party owner of the Fox Ridge Manor community located in Dover,
Pennsylvania. The Company expects to record a gain on this transaction of
approximately $600,000. The Company has also made available to Northwood
Retirement Community, Inc., the new owner of the Community, a $150,000 line of
credit to be used by the new owner in connection with the Fox Ridge Manor
community.

G. Omission of Preferred Stock Dividend

   On June 28, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors voted to omit the $.25
quarterly dividend on the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
("Convertible Preferred Stock") for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. These
dividends, although not declared or paid, remain cumulative without interest.
Failure to pay any quarterly dividend results in a reduction of the conversion
price of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Preferred Stock. As a result of omitting more than four quarterly dividend
payments, holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, on a
one vote per share of Convertible Stock basis, with the holders of Common Stock
on all matters submitted to stockholders including the election of directors.

H. Earnings Per Share

   Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period
plus any dividends accrued, paid or in arrears on the Company's Convertible
Preferred Stock by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common
stock. Dividends paid in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
June 30, 1995 totaled $0, $0, $32,013 and $64,025 respectively. As of June 30,
1996, aggregate dividends in arrears on the Convertible Preferred Stock totaled
approximately $207,300 and the conversion price of the Preferred Stock was $3.25
(subject to anti-dilution adjustments).

J. Stock Option Grants

   In June 1996, the Company's Board of Directors voted to grant 75,000 stock
options to two officers and directors of the Company which allow the holder of
such stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at $2.94 per
share, the closing stock price on the day immediately preceding the Board
Meeting. The stock options contain a provision which increases the amount of the
stock options up to a maximum of 750,000 shares at the time of the closing of
the merger with CareMatrix (Note L).

K. Commitments and Contingencies

  Working Capital Loans

   On January 16, 1996, pursuant to a letter of intent for a then proposed
business combination, Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS") loaned the sum of
$250,000 to the Company for working capital purposes. In February 1996, IHS
informed the Company that it was terminating their business combination
discussions. This loan could become repayable to IHS in accordance with a
promissory note which bears interest at 8.5%, interest payable semi-annually.
Under certain circumstances up to $100,000 of the promissory note could become
payable prior to the maturity date of January 15, 1998. On or about April 9,
1996, the Company asserted a claim against IHS based on IHS's unilateral breach
of its contractual obligations under its letter of intent with the Company as
well as for its duties of good faith and fair dealing. In addition, the Company
has asserted claims that IHS's conduct constitutes unfair and deceptive trade
practices under applicable Massachusetts law. Although no law suit has been
commenced by the Company, the Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims
against IHS.

   On June 3, 1996, pursuant to a term sheet for a proposed business
combination, a corporation controlled by Abraham D. Gosman, the principal
stockholder of CareMatrix, loaned the sum of $1,000,000 to the Company for
working capital purposes. The note is due on October 1, 1996 subject to an
extension until April 1, 1997 at the election of such corporation. The note
bears interest at 10% and interest is payable annually. In accordance with the
terms of the promissory note, such corporation advanced $500,000 to the Company
upon the signing of the term sheet and $500,000 upon the execution of the merger
agreement. (Note M)

L. CareMatrix Merger Transaction

   In June 1996, the Company announced that it had signed a term sheet with
CareMatrix Corporation, a privately held group of twelve separate corporations
("CareMatrix"), under which the Company would acquire all of the assets and
operations of CareMatrix and the Company would issue between 40 million and 50
million shares of its common stock to the stockholders of CareMatrix subject to
due diligence and negotiation of a definitive merger agreement. On July 3, 1996,
the Company and CareMatrix entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") under which twelve subsidiary corporations of
the Company would be merged into CareMatrix and the Company would issue 50
million shares of its common stock to the stockholders of CareMatrix. The Merger
Agreement was approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and CareMatrix
on July 10, 1996. The Merger Agreement is subject to the approval of both the
Company's and CareMatrix's stockholders, the receipt of an updated fairness
opinion and other customary closing conditions.

M. Subsequent Events

   On July 10, 1996, a corporation controlled by Abraham D. Gosman, the
principal stockholder of CareMatrix, funded the second installment of $500,000
in connection with its promissory note with the Company. On July 30, 1996,
through the issuance and sale to a principal stockholder of CareMatrix (the
"purchaser"), for $14,000 per share or $1,400,000 in the aggregate, the Company
issued 100 shares of its newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series B Stock") with a liquidation value of $14,000 per share. The Company
used a portion of the proceeds from the share issuance to repay the promissory
note of $1,000,000 and obtained an additional $400,000 to be used for working
capital purposes. The Series B Stock is redeemable by the Company at any time
after December 1, 1996 at $14,000 per share plus accrued dividends provided that
the market price of the common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price
($4.16) then in effect for twenty consecutive trading days. The Series

B Stock will be entitled to a quarterly dividend of $350 per share with
quarterly dividend payments on each of December 31, March 31, June 30 and
September 30. Concurrently with the issuance of the Series B Stock, the Company
issued five year warrants to the purchaser to purchase 400,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $4.16 per share.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers 

   The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 145 of 
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, which provides that a 
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is 
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, 
suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative 
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the 
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the 
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a 
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, 
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including 
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually 
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or 
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed 
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with 
respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to 
believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a 
corporation similarly may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is 
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action 
or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its 
favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee 
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the 
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, 
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses 
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in 
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted 
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed 
to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification 
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such 
person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and 
only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which 
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, 
despite an adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of 
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such 
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. 

   Article 11 of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation 
eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Company or its 
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the full 
extent permitted by Delaware law. Article VII of the Company's By-Laws 
provides that the Company indemnify its officers and directors to the full 
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. 

   The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its 
directors. The Company may also enter into similar agreements with certain of 
its officers who are not also directors. Generally, the Company's By- Laws 
and the indemnification agreements attempt to provide the maximum protection 
permitted by Delaware law with respect to indemnification of directors and 
officers. 

                                     II-1 
<PAGE> 

   The indemnification agreements provide that the Company will pay certain 
amounts incurred by a director or officer in connection with any civil or

SCHEDULE II -- Valuation and Qualifying Accounts 

Item 17. Undertakings 

   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons 
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the 
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as 
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the 
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than 
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, 
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of 
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against such director, officer or 
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the 
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been 
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate 
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against 
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the 
final adjudication of such issue. 

   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: 

   (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of 
this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A under the Securities 
Act and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to 
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to 
be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared 
effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the 
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of 
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the 



                                     II-10
