              NHP RETIREMENT HOUSING PARTNERS I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 2000

A.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Nature of Business

       NHP Retirement Housing Partners I Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
       is a  limited  partnership  organized  under  the  laws of the  State  of
       Delaware on March 10, 1986. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of
       raising  capital by  issuing  both  Pension  Notes  ("Pension  Notes") to
       tax-exempt  investors  and selling  partnership  interests in the form of
       Assignee  Interests  ("Interests")  to  taxable  individuals.   Interests
       represent  assignments  of  the  limited  partnership  interests  of  the
       Partnership  issued to the Assignor Limited  Partner,  NHP RHP-I Assignor
       Corporation.  The  proceeds  from  the  sale  of the  Pension  Notes  and
       Interests  have  been  invested  in  residential  rental  properties  for
       retirement age occupants.

       Basis of Presentation

       The accompanying  balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, has been derived
       from audited  financial  statements of the Partnership for the year ended
       December 31, 1999, and the accompanying  unaudited financial  statements,
       as of  September  30, 2000 and  September  30, 1999,  have been  prepared
       pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
       Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
       the annual  financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with generally
       accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
       those  rules  and  regulations.  For  further  information,  refer to the
       financial  statements  and notes thereto for the year ended  December 31,
       1999 included in the Partnership's  Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
       the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 31, 2000.

       In the  opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  financial  statements
       contain all  adjustments  (all of which were normal  recurring  accruals)
       necessary to present fairly the  Partnership's  financial  position as of
       September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, results of operations, changes
       in Partners'  deficit and cash flows for the three and nine month periods
       ended  September  30,  2000  and  September  30,  1999.  The  results  of
       operations  for the nine month  period ended  September  30, 2000 are not
       necessarily  indicative  of the results for the year ending  December 31,
       2000.

B.     TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES OF THE GENERAL
       PARTNER

       Effective  January 23, 1995,  Capital Realty Group Senior  Housing,  Inc.
       (CRGSH) became the new sole general partner of the Partnership  replacing
       the prior General Partner,  NHP/RHGP-I Limited  Partnership.  On June 10,
       1998,  the sole  owner  of the  general  partner,  Capital  Realty  Group
       Corporation,  sold all of its shares of CRGSH common stock to  Retirement
       Associates,  Inc. ("Associates") for $855,000. The source of the funds is
       a  Promissory  Note for  $855,000  with a  five-year  term and  bearing a
       current  interest  rate of 8% per annum.  The interest will accrue on the
       Promissory  Note and be payable at the maturity of the  Promissory  Note.
       Associates is the maker of the Note and Capital Realty Group  Corporation
       is the payee.  Mr. Robert Lankford is the President of Associates and has
       brokered and continues to broker real estate as an independent contractor
       with Capital Realty Group Corporation and its affiliates.

       Personnel working at the Property sites and certain home office personnel
       who perform  services for the Partnership are employees of Capital Senior
       Living,  Inc.  (CSL),  an  affiliate  of CRGSH until June 10,  1998.  The
       Partnership  reimburses  CSL  for the  salaries,  related  benefits,  and
       overhead   reimbursements   of  such   personnel   as  reflected  in  the
       accompanying financial statements.  Salary, related benefits and overhead
       reimbursements  reimbursed and expensed by the Partnership to CSL for the
       third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, were $269,054 and
       $275,409,  respectively,  and were  $803,010  and  $815,217  for the nine
       months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Management fees,
       dietary  fees  and  other   services   reimbursed  and  expensed  by  the
       Partnership to CSL for the third fiscal quarter ended  September 30, 2000
       and 1999, were $164,511 and $144,281 respectively,  and were $470,357 and
       $383,122  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,
       respectively.

       Distributions of $21,617 were made to the General Partner during the nine
       months ended September 30, 2000.

C.     VALUATION OF RENTAL PROPERTY

       Generally  accepted  accounting  principles  require that the Partnership
       evaluate  whether it is probable that the estimated  undiscounted  future
       cash flows of its properties,  taken individually,  will be less than the
       respective net book value of the properties.  If such a shortfall  exists
       and is material, then a write-down is warranted. The Partnership performs
       such  evaluations  on an on-going  basis.  During the nine  months  ended
       September  30,  2000,  based  on  the  Partnership's  evaluation  of  its
       property,  the  Partnership  did not  believe  that  any  write-down  was
       warranted.

D.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

       On or about October 23, 1998, an Interest  holder filed a putative  class
       action  complaint on behalf of certain  holders of Assignee  Interests in
       the Parnership in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Partnership,
       Capital Senior Living  Corporation,  Capital Senior Living Properties 2 -
       NHPCT,  Inc. and CRGSH  (collectively  "the  Defendants").  This Assignee
       Interest  holder  purchased 90 Assignee  Interests in the  Partnership in
       February 1993 for $180. The complaint alleges,  among other things,  that
       the  Defendants  breached,  or aided and abetted a breach of, the express
       and implied terms of the  Partnership  Agreement in  connection  with the
       sale of four  properties  by the  Partnership  to Capital  Senior  Living
       Properties 2 - NHPCT,  Inc.  Capital Senior Living  Properties 2 - NHPCT,
       Inc. is an affiliate of Capital Senior Living,  Inc., the current manager
       of The Amberleigh. The complaint seeks, among other relief, rescission of
       the sale of these  properties and  unspecified  damages.  The Partnership
       believes  the  complaint  is without  merit and is  vigorously  defending
       itself in this action.  The  Partnership has filed a Motion to Dismiss in
       this case,  which  currently  is pending.  The  Partnership  is unable to
       estimate liability related to this claim, if any.

E.     PENSION NOTES

       The  Pension  Notes bear  stated  simple  interest  at a rate equal to 13
       percent  per annum.  Payment of up to 9 percent  of stated  interest  was
       subject to  deferral  through  December  31,  1988 and payment of up to 6
       percent of stated  interest is subject to deferral  thereafter.  Deferred
       interest  does  not bear  interest.  Interest  not  deferred  is  payable
       quarterly. Using the effective interest method, interest on principal and
       accrued  interest  of the Pension  Notes has been  accrued at the rate of
       approximately 9 percent per annum compounded quarterly. The approximate 9
       percent  effective  interest rate was calculated  using  estimates of the
       amounts of interest  that will be  deferred  and the time period in which
       such deferred  amounts will be paid. If interest had been provided  based
       on 13 percent versus the effective rate of  approximately  9 percent,  an
       additional  liability  of  approximately  $546,219  would be  recorded at

                                       8

       September 30, 2000 and future  interest  expense would be reduced by this
       amount. The Partnership's obligation to repay the principal amount of the
       Notes, which mature on December 31, 2001, and stated interest thereon, is
       secured  by a lien on the  Partnership's  assets.  The  liability  of the
       Partnership  under the  Pension  Notes is  limited  to the  assets of the
       Partnership.  The Pension  Notes are subject to redemption in whole or in
       part  upon not less  than 30 or more than 60 days  prior  notice,  at the
       election of the Partnership.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following  schedule  summarizes  the occupancy  levels at The  Amberleigh in
which the Partnership has a 99.9% partnership interest.

                               Available        September 30        September 30
                                 Units               2000               1999
                                 -----               ----               ----

          The Amberleigh           271                86%                91%
         At Woodstream Farms
         Williamsville, New York

On November 5, 1997, the Partnership purchased  approximately 3.10 acres of land
adjacent to The  Amberleigh  for $500,000  plus closing  costs for the potential
expansion of the Amberleigh, as well as to prevent another purchaser from buying
the tract and blocking the facility from view from the main intersection. Due to
licensure and financing issues, there are no current plans to develop this land.

Rent collections for the nine-month  period decreased to $3,730,074 in 2000 from
$3,805,450  in  1999  and  is  primarily  due  to  decreased  occupancy  at  the
Amberleigh. Salaries, management fees and other operating expenses paid likewise
decreased, from $3,184,486 in 1999 to $2,608,084 in 2000. Decreases in operating
expenses paid were due to increased accounts payable and other liabilities,  and
decreased other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Cash generated from rental  operations  prior to the payment of interest expense
was  sufficient  to pay  all of the  interest  on the  Pension  Notes  currently
payable,  which was  $1,060,311  for the nine month period ended  September  30,
2000. Net cash provided  (used) from  operations,  after the payment of interest
expense,  during the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $271,654
and $(254,145),  respectively. Interest on the Pension Notes bears stated simple
interest  at 13%  rate per  annum,  and is paid on a 7% rate  per  annum.  It is
accrued, however, under the effective interest method at a rate of approximately
9% per annum compounded  quarterly,  which totaled $2,469,713 and $2,353,486 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The remaining
6% unpaid portion is due at maturity. Total accrued and unpaid interest amounted
to  $16,288,465  and  $14,879,063  at September  30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively.

Capital expenditures  increased $59,403 from $71,192 in 1999 to $130,595 in 2000
due to increased expenditures for painting, carpeting, appliances and a bus.

Cash and cash  equivalents  at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 amounted
to $5,672,316 and $5,553,357, respectively.

Future funds may not be available to meet operating requirements,  including the
ultimate payment of principal and deferred  interest on the Pension Notes.  This
cash need has caused the General Partner to determine that it is not financially
appropriate to make distributions to Interest holders.

                                       9
<PAGE>


Since 1998,  cash generated from  operations has been  insufficient  to meet the
Partnership's minimum interest payment requirements with exception of the second
and third quarters ending  September 30, 2000. The  Partnership  estimates total
unpaid interest and principal will approximate $38 million at December 31, 2001,
the maturity  date of the Pension  Notes,  which is in excess of projected  cash
reserves  at  that  time.  Accordingly,  it is not  likely  that  funds  will be
sufficient to pay the Pension Notes and deferred  interest in whole.  If this is
so,  there  will not be any  funds  available  to pay  Interest  holders  at the
maturity of the Pension Notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 includes
rental  operations from the Partnership's  property.  The net loss also includes
depreciation,  amortization of Pension Notes issuance costs, and accrued Pension
Note interest expense, which are noncash in nature.

The  Partnership's  net loss  decreased  from  $1,884,367 to $1,804,940  for the
nine-month period ending September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Net loss per
Interest  decreased from $43 to $42 for the nine-month  period ending  September
30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The decrease in the Partnership's net loss was
principally due to decreased  other expenses.  Total revenues for the nine month
period  decreased from $3,804,078 in 1999 to $3,724,654 in 2000. The decrease in
total revenues was primarily due to decreased occupancy at the Amberleigh. Total
operating costs and expenses  increased from $2,894,107 in 1999 to $2,922,556 in
2000.  Increased  operating  costs and expenses were  primarily due to increased
management fees, dietary fees and other service expense.  Pension Notes interest
expense increased from $2,353,486 to $2,469,713 for the nine-month period ending
September 30, 1999 and 2000,  respectively.  Amortization  of  organization  and
offering  costs  decreased  from $77,615 to $0 for the nine month period  ending
September  30, 1999 and 2000,  respectively,  due to the write off of $68,599 in
organization  costs  required under the American  Institute of Certified  Public
Accountants  Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting Costs of Start-up Activities.
Other expenses relating to Partnership administration decreased from $464,638 to
$258,047  for the  nine  month  period  ending  September  30,  1999  and  2000,
respectively, due to decreased professional fees.

ITEM 3.  QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The  Partnership  invests its cash in money market  accounts.  As a result,  the
Partnership believes any impact of market risk to the Partnership's  investments
is immaterial.

PART II

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about October 23, 1998, an Interest  holder filed a putative  class action
complaint on behalf of certain holders of Assignee  Interests in the Partnership
in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Partnership, Capital Senior Living
Corporation,  Capital  Senior  Living  Properties  2 -  NHPCT,  Inc.  and  CRGSH
(collectively  "the  Defendants").  This Interest  holder  purchased 90 Assignee
Interests in the  Partnership in February 1993 for $180. The complaint  alleges,
among other things, that the Defendants breached,  or aided and abetted a breach
