                      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 "the 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 March 31, 1997. Construction funds advanced by the
         partners are also cash equivalents as of March 31, 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 has continued for tenant
         requested improvements and an auditorium addition.

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

         Costs of Acquiring Initial Contracts

         Costs of acquiring initial contracts 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 n actuarial data, is estimated to be
         approximately 13 years.

         Development Fee

         The development fee incurred in connection with the development of the
         Project 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 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 has been 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 have
         advanced $7,600,000 and the Partnerships anticipate borrowing an
         additional $1,900,000. The partners have also advanced $200,000 for
         design of future phases.

E.       Operating Property

         As of March 31, 1997, $5,543,940 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.

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.

         The partnerships has 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.

         During the three months ended March 31, 1997, LCS was reimbursed
         $86,837 for its services and $80,554 for the three months ended March
         31, 1996. In addition, LCS was reimbursed in the three months ended
         March 31, 1997, $371,524 for marketing of Phase III units.

         In the three months ended March 31, 1997, LCSD was reimbursed $314,081
         for development fees and had no such reimbursement in the three months
         ended March 31, 1996.

         In the three months ended March 31, 1997, Mullan was paid $7,774 of
         construction management fees, and reimbursed $1,982,297 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, maintenance of and efficient operation
         of the Project are also critical to the long term success of the
         Project.


                            THE CHESTNUT PARTNERSHIP
                                      AND
                      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 177 residential units, and a 50-bed health
center. As of March 31, 1997, 173 (97.7%) of the residential units have been
reserved or occupied. The apartment occupancy decreased 2 units in the quarter,
during which there were 8 apartment units sold and no sales cancelled. As of
March 31, 1996, 94% of the residential units were sold or occupied.

As of March 31, 1997, the project had 118 full-time equivalent employees, none
of whom were members of a collective bargaining agreement.

The Partnership is accepting deposits on Phase III units. As of March 31, 1997,
33 of 35 units (94.3%) have been reserved by receipt by the Partnerships of
deposits equal to 10% of the Admission Fee.

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 1997, 161 units (91%) were occupied and/or paying monthly
service fees. This occupancy compares to 157 (89%) of the units at March 31,
1996, and 163 units (92%) at December 31, 1996.

Amortization of non-refundable admission fees decreased because fewer residents
moved in during the 3 months ended March 31, 1996 than moved in during the 3
months ended March 31, 1995. The two-year amortization period causes the decline
to not be apparent for one year.

On January 1, 1997, a 4.8% increase in the monthly service fees became
effective. That increase together with an increase in occupancy from March 31,
1996 to the three months ended March 31, 1997, accounted for the increase in
apartment service fees.

Health center revenues increased primarily because the average occupancy in the
first three months of 1996 was 92% compared to an average occupancy of 94% in
1997.

Capital reserve fees, which are a one-time payment from new residents increased
because five more new residents moved in during the three months ended March 31,
1996 (7), than moved in during the three months ended March 31, 1996 (2).

Operating expenses were down about 2%, even though the average number of
full-time employees was 114 in the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared
to 105 average full-time equivalent employees in 1996.

A decline in amortization costs and interest income from increased cash balances
caused the net interest expense to decline.

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 three months ended March 31, 1996, an auditorium and miscellaneous
additional improvements, totaling approximately $800,000, which was funded by
the Partners, was essentially completed.

In the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partners advanced $6,200,000 for
the construction of Phase III and the design of Phase II. In addition, a
commitment letter was executed with a financial institution for $1,900,000 of
long-term financing in conjunction with Phase III.

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the partnership distributed
$1,450,000 of Phase I processed from closings, after providing necessary working
capital funding as required in under the bond documents.

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

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $50,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the three months ended March
31, 1996. The net income after depreciation/amortization provided cash of
approximately $76,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to a
loss of cash of approximately $102,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1995.
The increase in operating assets and liabilities from third parties in 1997,
compared to 1996, was substantially less, but was offset by admission fee
receipts of approximately $233,000.

Net cash used by investing activities was approximately $5,900,000 more in the
three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1996. This change was due to the construction in progress for Phase III and the
Partners advances to fund Phase III construction.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $6,400,000 better in
the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the three months ended March
31, 1996. Cash from Resident loans was $1,400,000 more in 1997 than in 1996
because of more new residents. The partnerships distributed $1,450,000 from
Phase I closings and received $6,200,000 of advances from the Partners.

Because of the level of occupancy in Phase I and sales 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.
