                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         CareMatrix Corporation (the "Company") develops, manages and operates
assisted living facilities and various other health care facilities.

         Prior to the Merger (as described herein), the Company consisted of
business entities which were operated since their date of inception (June 24,
1994) under common control by Abraham D. Gosman ("Mr. Gosman"), who serves as
both the Company's Chairman and is, as trustee, the Company's principal
stockholder.

         On October 4, 1996, twelve wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Standish
Care Company, Inc. ("Standish") were merged into certain business entities (the
"CareMatrix Affiliates") controlled by Mr. Gosman with the stockholders of the
CareMatrix Affiliates receiving approximately 92% (10,000,000 shares) of
Standish common stock then outstanding (the "Merger"). Following the Merger,
Standish changed its name to CareMatrix Corporation. The Merger was accounted
for as a reverse acquisition, whereby the CareMatrix Affiliates were treated as
the acquiror for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the financial information for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 is that of the
CareMatrix Affiliates prior to the Merger.

         The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such regulations. The
financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations for the periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, for additional disclosures. The results
of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be achieved for the full year. Certain reclassifications
have been made on the prior quarter's financial statements to conform to current
quarter presentations.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

                             CAREMATRIX CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (continued)

         Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into management
contracts with a related party for two long-term care facilities. In addition,
on January 1, 1997, the Company exercised its options to lease from a related
party two facilities that it had been managing. In February 1997, the Company
entered into a lease with a third party to operate an assisted living facility
in Maryland. On each of April 1, and August 1, 1997, the Company exercised its
option to lease from a related party a senior facility that it had been
managing. On July 1, 1997, the Company entered into a sublease with a related
party to operate an assisted living facility in Florida and made a lease deposit
of $4.8 million.

2.   ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

         In connection with the Merger, the Company initiated a plan to dispose
of certain of the acquired Standish facilities. The net assets associated with
these facilities and the estimated costs to dispose of the facilities have been
separately recorded on the balance sheet.

         The assets held for sale are comprised of two operating facilities
containing 142 beds which were previously owned by Standish. The net assets
include fixed assets and various other operating assets and current liabilities
and long-term debt associated with the facilities. The Company estimated the
fair market value of the facilities assuming an orderly disposal, less costs to
sell the facilities as well as an estimate of the results of the facilities'
operations through the expected date of disposition. The Company disposed of one
of these facilities in November 1997 and expects to dispose of the second in the
next few months. During the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 1997, the
facilities generated $112,627 and $276,811 of losses, respectively, which have
been excluded from the Company's consolidated statement of operations and
accounted for as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets.

3.   LONG-TERM DEBT

         In April, approximately $1.8 million of debt related to the Company's
facility in New Hampshire matured and was repaid. In connection with the
repayment of this debt, the Company also purchased from the 49% minority partner
in the joint venture its remaining interest in the partnership at the book value
of the partners' debt.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


4.   CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES

         In August 1997, the Company completed a private offering of $100
million 6 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due August 15, 2004.
Interest is payable semi-annually in February and August, beginning February
1998. The Notes are convertible into Common Stock of the Company at any time
through the close of business on the final maturity date of the Notes, unless
previously redeemed or repurchased, at a conversion price of $28.875 per share,
subject to adjustment under certain conditions. Prior to August 18, 2000, the
Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company. Thereafter, the Notes are
redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at declining
redemption prices. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are
subordinated to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness, as defined, and all
liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries. The proceeds of the offering
will be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to,
capital expenditures, working capital and acquisitions. In October 1997, the
over-allotment option on the Notes was exercised in full and the Company
received an additional $14.6 million in cash upon the issuance of $15.0 million
principal amount of Notes.

5.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         As used herein, a "related party" is Chancellor Senior Housing Group,
Inc. or a company in which Mr. Gosman and/or members of the Company's senior
management and/or stockholders have a significant ownership interest.

         During the first quarter of 1997, the Company exercised its option, at
a cost of $1.8 million, to lease from a joint venture, of which Mr. Gosman is a
partner, a senior living facility which it had been managing.

         In January 1997, the Company purchased, for $2.1 million, a
subordinated working capital loan related to a facility that it is managing. The
loan has a face value of $2.4 million, bears interest at 8.5% and matures
November 2024. Payment of accrued interest on the note is subordinated to the
facility achieving certain financial performance measures.

         The Company subleases a portion of its principal office space in
Needham, Massachusetts to Meditrust, a publicly traded real estate investment
trust company, of which Mr. Gosman is the Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer. Accordingly, general and administrative expenses for the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1997 has been reduced by $44,814
and $134,442, respectively, to reflect Meditrust's portion of the rent.

6.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS
128). FAS 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share (EPS) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share." FAS 128
replaces primary earnings per share with basic earnings per share and requires
dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the

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

Overview

         The Company is a provider of assisted living services to the elderly.
At September 30, 1997, the Company operated 22 facilities in 8 states with a
capacity of approximately 2,200 residents, including 17 facilities owned or
leased by the Company or in which it has ownership interests and 5 facilities
which it manages. In addition, at September 30, 1997, the Company had
approximately 60 facilities under development with a capacity of approximately
7,200 residents. The Company provides assistance with the activities of daily
living and other personalized support services in a residential setting for
elderly residents who cannot live independently but who do not need the level of
medical care provided in a skilled nursing facility. The Company also provides
additional specialized care and services to residents with certain low acuity
medical needs and residents with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
By offering this full range of services, the Company is able to accommodate the
changing needs of residents as they age within a facility and develop further
physical or cognitive frailties.

         The Company derives its revenues from three primary sources: (i)
resident fees for the delivery of assisted living services (including revenues
for services provided at skilled nursing facilities which are dependent, in
part, on reimbursement from Medicare, state Medicaid programs and private
insurers); (ii) management services income for management of facilities; and
(iii) fee income from the development and construction of facilities. Resident
fees typically are paid monthly by residents, their families or other
responsible parties. Resident fees and management fees are recognized as
revenues when services are provided. Development fee revenue is recognized on
the percentage of completion basis.

         On October 4, 1996, twelve wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Standish
Care Company, Inc. ("Standish") were merged into certain business entities (the
"CareMatrix Affiliates") controlled by Mr. Gosman with the stockholders of the
CareMatrix Affiliates receiving approximately 92% (10,000,000 shares) of
Standish common stock then outstanding (the "Merger"). Following the Merger,
Standish changed its name to CareMatrix Corporation. The Merger was accounted
for as a reverse acquisition, whereby the CareMatrix Affiliates were treated as
the acquiror for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the financial information for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 is that of the
CareMatrix Affiliates prior to the Merger.

         The following discussion, as well as other portions of this document,
includes certain statements which are or may be construed as forward looking
about the Company's business, sales and expenses, and operating and capital
requirements. Any such statements are subject to risks that could cause the
actual results or requirements to vary materially.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


The quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996

         REVENUES. Net revenues for the third quarter of 1997 increased $18.9
million compared to the same period in 1996.

         Resident operations revenue increased $14.2 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. New facilities
operations and management services contributed $14.1 million of this increase.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company's resident operations
revenues were derived from the operation of a long-term care facility in
Maryland.

         Development services revenue was $4.8 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1997 versus none in the same period in 1996, as the Company did not begin
development activity until the fourth quarter of 1996.

         FACILITY EXPENSES. Facility expenses, including lease expense, for the
third quarter of 1997 increased by $12.2 million compared to the same period in
fiscal 1996. New facilities contributed $12.2 million of this increase.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses for the
third quarter of 1997 increased to $3.7 million from $2.3 million in the same
period of fiscal 1996. As a percentage of operating revenue, general and
administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1997 declined to 17.9% from
123.0% in the third quarter of 1996. The increase in expense is primarily due to
an increase in salary and benefits expenses relating to the hiring of additional
corporate staff in anticipation of the Company's growth plans.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the
third quarter of 1997 increased $529,000 compared to the same period in fiscal
1996. The increase is due primarily to $260,000 of amortization of goodwill
incurred as a result of the Merger, $82,000 related to new facilities, and
$120,000 from the amortization of lease acquisition costs.

         INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $1.5
million compared to $22,000 for the same period in fiscal 1996. The increase in
interest income was primarily due to higher

          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


The quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to the quarter ended

average cash balances as a result of the net proceeds from the private offering
of the Notes in August 1997 (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements) and a secondary offering of common stock in October 1996 (see Note 9
of the Notes to Financial Statements contained in the Company's 1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-K).

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the third quarter of 1997
increased to $907,000 from $316,000 for the same period in 1996. The increase is
primarily due to higher average borrowings during 1997 compared to 1996 as a
result of net proceeds from the private offering of the Notes in August 1997
(see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

         INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate during the third quarter
of 1997 was 40.2%. During the same period in 1996, the entities included in
these financial statements were S corporations or partnerships; accordingly, any
income tax liabilities were the responsibility of the respective owners or
partners. Provisions for income taxes and deferred assets and liabilities of the
taxable entities were not reflected since there was no taxable income on a
combined basis.

The nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1996

         REVENUES. Net revenues for the first nine months of 1997 increased
$44.6 million compared to the same period in 1996.

         Resident operations revenue increased $32.6 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. New facilities
operations and management services contributed $31.6 million of this increase.
During the same period in 1996, the Company's resident operations revenues were
derived from the operation of a long-term care facility in Maryland and the
management of two facilities in Florida.

         Development fee income was $11.9 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 versus none in the same period in 1996 as the Company did not begin
development activity until the fourth quarter of 1996.

         FACILITY EXPENSES. Facility expenses, including lease expense, for the
first nine months of 1997 increased by $26.9 million compared to the same period
in fiscal 1996. New facilities contributed $26.4 million of this increase.

          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


The nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 (continued)

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses for the
first nine months of 1997 increased to $10.9 million from $5.0 million in the
same period of fiscal 1996. As a percentage of operating revenue, general and
administrative expenses in the period declined to 22.3% from 118.0% in the same
period of 1996. The increase in expense is primarily due to an increase in
salary and benefits expenses relating to the hiring of additional corporate
staff in anticipation of the Company's growth plans.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for the
first nine months of 1997 increased $1.4 million compared to the same period in
fiscal 1996. The increase is due primarily to $779,000 of amortization of
goodwill incurred as a result of the Merger, $267,000 from new facilities, and
$262,000 from the amortization of lease acquisition costs.

         INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the first nine months of 1997 was
$3.1 million compared to $47,000 for the same period in fiscal 1996. The
interest income was primarily due to higher average cash balances as a result of
the net proceeds from the private offering of the Notes in August 1997 (see Note
4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and a secondary offering of
common stock in October 1996 (see Note 9 of the Notes to Financial Statements
contained in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the first nine months of 1997
increased to $1.4 million from $0.9 million for the same period in 1996. The
increase is primarily due to higher average borrowings during 1997 compared to
1996 as a result of the net proceeds from the private offering of the Notes in
August 1997 (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

         INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate during the first nine
months of 1997 was 40.2%. During the same period in 1996, the entities included
in these financial statements were S corporations or partnerships; accordingly,
any income tax liabilities were the responsibility of the respective owners or
partners. Provisions for income taxes and deferred assets and liabilities of the
taxable entities were not reflected since there was no taxable income on a
combined basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1997 were $137.5 million
compared to $58.0 million at December 31, 1996, an increase of approximately
$79.5 million.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  (continued)

         Cash used in operations was $3.4 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 compared to $5.3 million for the same period in fiscal 1996. The
decrease in the use of cash is due primarily to increased earnings, partially
offset by increases in accounts receivable due to new facilities and an increase
in development fees receivable of $6.4 million.

         Cash used in investing activities was $12.4 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 compared to $1.8 million for the same period in fiscal
1996. The increase in the use of cash is due primarily to the payment of $6.6
million to acquire the lease rights to two facilities, $1.2 million of advances,
$1.6 million increase in restricted cash, and $1.3 million of capital
expenditures for the remodeling of existing facilities.

         Cash provided by financing activities were $95.3 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $9.4 million in the same period in fiscal
1996. The increase is primarily due to the net proceeds from the convertible
debt offering, net of issuance costs, in August. The $9.4 million source of cash
in the prior year reflected an increase in the net obligation owed to the
Company's principal stockholder for funding the Company's start-up losses,
capital expenditures and investments.

         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 partially fund these resource requirements
with its cash on hand as well as related party or third-party financing of
assisted living facilities to be developed. The Company and certain related
parties are presently in discussions with a number of third 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.
