                      THE CHESTNUT REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP
                          AND THE CHESTNUT PARTNERSHIP

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.       Basis for Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements of The Chestnut Real
         Estate Partnership (the Real Estate Partnership) and its subsidiary The
         Chestnut Partnership (the Partnership), in the opinion of management,
         reflect all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring
         items), eliminations, and reclassification considered necessary for a
         fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. For
         purposes of preparing the combined financial statements, all material
         transactions between the Partnerships have been eliminated but not
         displayed, including the elimination of the Real Estate partnership's
         obligation to the Partnership.

         Both the Real Estate Partnership and the Partnership are general
         partnerships, and are sometimes referred to as Athe Partnerships.@

         The Real Estate Partnership is owned 50% by Blakehurst Joint Venture
         (Venture) and 50% by West Joppa Road Limited Partnership (West Joppa).

         The Partnership is owned 1% by Venture, 1% by West Joppa, and 98% by
         the Real Estate Partnership.

         The Real Estate Partnership and the Partnership were formed to develop,
         own, and operate a life care retirement community called Blakehurst
         (Project) in the Towson area of Baltimore County, Maryland.

         The Real Estate Partnership was organized by the Partnership solely for
         the purpose of owning the property and buildings and other improvements
         thereon that constitute the Project in order to minimize certain
         mortgage recordation taxes, and to act as a general partner of the
         Partnership. The publicly-held debt (both Series I and II) is a direct
         obligation of the Partnership, and is guaranteed by the Real Estate
         Partnership. The guaranty, however, is not intended to provide any
         additional security for payment of the principal and interest on the
         bonds than if the Partnership directly held the property and related
         improvements itself. The partners of the Real Estate Partnership own no
         other assets other than their interests in the Partnership. Therefore,
         management believes the combining financial statements of the
         Partnership and the Real Estate Partnership are the most informative,
         because of the guaranty and because of the Operating and Use Agreement,
         which obligates the Partnership to develop, operate and manage the
         Project at its expense and which grants the Partnership use of the
         property until dissolution, liquidation or other termination by mutual
         agreement. The Partnerships have common, ultimate ownership and do not
         have independent operating activities. Management believes this
         presentation best portrays the relationship between the two entities.

B.       Certain Accounting Policies

         Cash

         The Partnerships consider investments with maturities of three months
         or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

         Assets Where Use is Limited

         Assets held by the Trustee under the escrow agreement are cash
         equivalents as of September 30, 1997. Phase III and IV construction
         funds advanced by the partners are also cash equivalents as of
         September 30, 1997.

         Deferred Revenues from Admission Fees

         Admission fees are not advance fees in payment for future services of
         for use of facility, because of the manner in which all operating
         expenditures are allocated to the current residents. The non-refundable
         admission fee is a payment in compensation to the Partnership for the
         development risk and is non-refundable except in isolated cases where
         the Partnership would cancel the Residency Agreement. In such cases,
         the resident could be due a portion of the Administration Fee if
         cancellation occurred within the first two years of the contract. The
         refund is based on the remaining life of the resident, actuarially
         determined. Accordingly, the Admission Fee and Resident Loan (together
         the Entrance Payment) is amortized using the Life Table of the U.S.
         Department of Health and Human Services, which in practice results in
         amortization of the Admission Fee portion of the Entrance Payment on a
         straight line over approximately two years. To date, the Partnership
         has never cancelled a Residency Agreement and accordingly has never had
         to refund any portion of the non-refundable admission fee after
         occupancy. Nonetheless, the unamortized admission fees are reported as
         deferred revenue.

         Capitalization of Operating Expenses and Certain Revenues

         Initial occupancy of the Project occurred in August of 1993, with
         cessation of major construction of phase I occurring in December 1993,
         at which time occupancy was 60%. Construction continued for tenant
         requested improvements and an auditorium addition.

         The Partnership ceased capitalization of operating expenses and certain
         revenues of Phase I in August 1994, because of the extended time frame
         between initial occupancy, completion of major construction, and
         achievement of substantial occupancy.

         Occupancy of Phase III began in July 1997, and construction was still
         in process as of September 30, 1997, at which time 71% of the units
         were occupied. Certain operating revenues and expenses of Phase III
         continued to be capitalized.

         Costs of Acquiring Initial Contracts

         Costs of acquiring initial contracts of Phase I are expected to be
         recovered from the future contract revenues and are therefore
         capitalized. These costs capitalized are amortized over the life
         expectancy of the initial residents, which based on actuarial data, is
         estimated to be approximately 13 years.

         Costs of acquiring initial contracts for Phase III units were still
         being incurred as of September 30, 1997, and no amortization of these
         costs is reflected in these financial statements.

         Development Fee

         The development fee incurred in connection with the development of the
         Project (Phase I and III, as there was no development fee in Phase II)
         is amortized on a pro rata basis as admission fee revenue is
         recognized. Admission fees are being recognized over a 24 month period
         from the date of move-in for those being received from Return of
         Capital Contracts. Admission Fees from Traditional contracts are
         amortized over the expected life of the resident.

C.       Results of Operations

         Admission fees are amortized over a twenty-four month period.

         At the time of initial occupancy, residents are required to make a
         non-refundable payment to a capital replacement reserve. This payment
         is reported as income when received by the Partnerships.

         The development fee incurred in connection with the development of the
         Project (Phase I and Phase III) is amortized on a pro-rata basis and
         admission fee revenue is recognized.

D.       Financing

         In May, 1992, the Partnership completed the issuance of $14,000,000 of
         Ten Year - Put Option Mortgage Bonds, 1992 Series I. The bonds carry an
         initial rate of 9.5%.

         In August, 1992, the Venture and West Joppa, each of which had
         purchased $3,000,000 of Series I Bonds, sold their bonds back to the
         Partnership in conjunction with the Partnership sales of $6,000,000 of
         Ten Year Put Option Mortgage Bonds, 1992 Series II. These bonds carry
         an initial rate of 8.75%.

         In addition, $20,000,000 was provided by Venture and West Joppa. As of
         December 31, 1995, all such advances from Partners had been repaid,
         together with interest thereon.

         For the construction of Phase II, an auditorium and miscellaneous
         additional improvements, the partners funded the cost of approximately
         $800,000.

         For construction of Phase III, a 35 unit addition, the partners
         advanced $7,600,000 and the Partnerships arranged to borrow an
         additional $1,900,000, for a total of $9,500,000 of available funds. As
         of September 30, 1997, $3,900,400 has been repaid to the Partners,
         which includes $363,718 of interest.

         The partners have also advanced $400,000 for initial design of Phase
         IV.

E.       Operating Property

         Operating property includes construction costs in progress. As of
         September 30, 1997, $8,936,288 of costs had been incurred for Phase III
         construction in progress and are included in operating property. As of
         December 31, 1996, $2,665,333 had been incurred for construction of
         Phase III.

         Also, at September 30, 1997, $102,114 had been incurred for designs of
         Phase IV; no such costs had been incurred at December 31, 1996.

         As of September 30, 1997, development fees and costs of acquiring
         initial contracts were being amortized and are reported net of such
         amortization.

F.       Transactions with partners

         The Partnerships have agreements with Life Care Services Development
         Corporation (LCSD) and Life Care Services Corporation (LCS), affiliates
         through common ownership of Chestnut Village, Inc., a general partner
         of Venture for development and for management of the community
         respectively. LCSD administers planning, development, financing, and
         marketing functions for the partnerships. LCS has been retained to
         supervise the day-to-day operations of the community.

         During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, LCS was reimbursed
         $260,452 for its management services and $244,527 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996. In addition, LCS was reimbursed in the nine
         months ended September 30, 1997, $450,698 for marketing of Phase III
         units.

         In the nine months ended September 30, 1997, LCSD was reimbursed
         $445,443 for development fees and had no such reimbursement in the nine
         months ended September 30, 1996.

         The partnerships have entered into a construction management agreement
         with Mullan Contracting Company (Mullan), an affiliate through common
         ownership of one partner of West Joppa for Phase III.

         In the nine months ended September 30, 1997, Mullan was paid $55,520 of
         construction management fees, and reimbursed $5,793,349 for
         construction costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
         Mullan was paid $1,400 for construction management fees and reimbursed
         $49,352 for construction costs.

G.       Income Taxes

         Income and losses of the Partnerships are included in the income tax
         returns of the partners. Accordingly, the financial statements make no
         provision for income taxes.

H.       Contingencies

         The realization of the costs of the Project in initially contingent
         upon the sale of the remaining units, and resale of units vacated due
         to death or transfer to the health center.

         Subsequent to initial occupancy of each phase, maintenance of and
         efficient operation of the Project are also critical to the long term
         success of the Project.

                      THE CHESTNUT REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operation.

Overall Financial Condition

The Project contains a total of 212 (177 in Phase I and 35 in Phase III)
residential units, and a 50-bed health center. As of September 30, 1997, 173
(98%) of the Phase I residential units have been reserved or occupied; as of
September 30, 1996, 167 (94%) of the residential units were sold or occupied.

With regard to Phase III, as of September 30, 1997, 33 of 35 units (94%) have
been reserved or occupied. Occupancy began July 21, 1997.

As of September 30, 1997, the project had 118 full-time equivalent employees,
none of whom were members of a collective bargaining agreement.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 1997, 165 units (93%) were occupied and/or paying monthly
service fees for Phase I. This occupancy compares to 164 of the units at
September 30, 1996, and 163 units (92%) at December 31, 1996. As of September
30, 1997, 25 Phase III units (71%) were occupied and/or paying monthly service
fees.

Amortization of non-refundable admission fees decreased because of the decline
of move-ins during the 24 months beginning September 30, 1995, compared to the
move-ins during the 24 months beginning September 30, 1994. Non-refundable
admission fees are amortized over approximately 24 months from date of move-in.

On January 1, 1997, an average 4.8% increase in the monthly service fees became
effective. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, occupancy 92.2%
compared to approximately 89% during the same period in 1996. In July occupancy
began on Phase III, increasing the total number of residents paying the monthly
service fees. These three factors accounted for the increase in monthly service
fees for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period
in 1996.

Health center revenues declined because of an approximately 4.7% decline in
occupancy in the period ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in
1996.

Capital reserve fees, which are a one-time payment from new residents related to
monthly service fees, increased because of the number of new residents from
Phase III and because of the aforementioned increase in the monthly service
fees.

Operating expenses decreased slightly in the nine months ended September 30,
1997, compared to the same period in 1996. Marketing expenditures have declined
in 1997 as Phase I units are essentially completed and sold and Phase III
marketing expenses are being capitalized. Other operating expenses directly
related to occupancy and resident services increased according to budgeted and
planned amounts.

The income from operations increased from approximately $144,000 at September
30, 1996, to approximately $343,000 in 1997.

Interest income increased because of increased cash balances, both restricted
and unrestricted. Interest expense decreased because average bond indebtedness
outstanding decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Interest on advances from Partners
for construction of Phase III is being capitalized as part of the cost of the
expansion.


<PAGE>


The net loss decreased from approximately $641,000 at September 30, 1996, to
approximately $229,000 at September 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 28, 1992, significant financing activities were concluded.
Construction financing and long-term financing both were achieved on that date.
Construction financing in the amount of $20,000,000 from a group of lenders was
achieved and the Partnership raised $14,000,000 (before deduction of costs of
underwriting) through long-term financing.

The Partnerships issued two types of taxable bonds in May, 1992. One type was
issued in underwritten public offering of $8,000,000 principal amount of
Blakehurst 10 Year Put Option Mortgage Bond 1992, Series I. Also in May the
Partnership issued a private transaction to affiliates of the partnership, a
total of $6,000,000 principal amount of Blakehurst Retirement Community Put
Option Bonds, Private Placement Series on terms substantially identical to the
public offering except that the Private Placement Bonds provided for redemption
of such bonds from the proceeds of the sale of 1992 Series II Bonds. The
Partnership sold the 1992 Series II Bonds in the amount of $6,000,000 in August,
1992.

In 1993, the construction financing loan of $20,000,000 has been repaid, and in
1995 all of the Partners= advances (which initially totaled $20,000,000) were
repaid.

During the first quarter of 1996, an auditorium and miscellaneous additional
improvements, totaling approximately $800,000, which was funded by the Partners,
was essentially completed.

In 1996 the Partners advanced $1,600,000 for the construction of Phase III.

In 1997 the Partners advanced an additional $6,000,000 for the construction of
Phase III and $200,000 for the design of Phase IV. In addition, $1,900,000 of
long-term financing in conjunction with Phase III was arranged and borrowed.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the partnership distributed
$420,000 of Phase I proceeds from closings, after providing necessary working
capital funding as required under the bond documents. In addition, based upon
closings of Phase III units, $3,536,682 was repaid on the advances by partners.

The net loss in being funded by the Partners from admission fees due them.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately $925,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. The net income before depreciation/amortization provided
cash of approximately $377,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
compared to a loss of approximately $122,000 in the nine months ended September
30, 1996. The cash provided in nine months of 1997 from admission fees of
$867,000 compares to none in 1996; this was offset by a net decline period over
period of approximately $370,000 in payables. Changes in other operating assets
and liabilities used approximately $441,000.

Net cash used by investing activities was approximately $7,950,000 more in the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. This change, approximately $7,400,000, was due to the construction in
progress for Phase III and the Partners advances and loans to fund Phase III
construction. Changes in balances escrowed under the Residency Agreements, net
of an increase in health center reserves, explains the rest of the change.
During the 1997 period, there was an almost 67% increase in the residents
permanently assigned to the health center, which under certain terms of the
Residency Agreement, causes their loans to be escrowed.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $6,150,000 more in
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. Cash from Resident loans was $4,000,000 more in 1997 than in
1996 because of more Phase I and Phase III residents. The partners contributed
approximately $843,000 in 1997 compared to a net distribution of $900,000 in
1996 C $1,743,000 total change.

Because of the level of occupancy in Phase I and sales and occupancy of Phase
III, the resident financing, and the long-term financing described above, the
Partnership believes adequate capital resources are available to successfully
complete occupancy of Phase III.

The long-term success of the Project is ultimately dependent upon maintaining
adequate levels of occupancy and operating of the Project efficiently.
