              NHP RETIREMENT HOUSING PARTNERS I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 2003

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  ("Notes")  to  tax-exempt  investors  and selling
additional 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 Notes and
Interests  were invested in  residential  rental  properties  for retirement age
occupants.

Dissolution of Partnership

On  February  12,  2001,  due to the pending  maturity  of the Pension  Notes at
December 31, 2001 and to obtain  maximum value through an organized  disposition
of Partnership assets, the General Partner notified the Pension Note holders and
Assignee  Interest  holders of its intent to dissolve the Partnership  effective
May 21, 2001 and liquidate its remaining property, the Amberleigh.

On December 31, 2001, the  Partnership  sold the  Amberleigh to an  unaffiliated
entity for  $20,000,000.  The  Partnership  received two  $1,000,000  promissory
notes,  each payable within 12 months from the date of sale, one Note subject to
the purchaser  obtaining certain levels of financing proceeds and the other note
subject to the  property  achieving  certain  levels of  operating  income.  The
Partnership did not satisfy the requirements for payment under either promissory
note,  and  therefore the  Partnership  will not receive any proceeds from these
notes. The balance of the sale proceeds net of settlement costs and other direct
costs associated with the sale was paid in cash,  resulting in net sale proceeds
of  $16,014,830.  The  Partnership  recognized a $1,491,679  loss on the sale in
2001.  On December 31,  2001,  the  principal on the Pension  Notes and deferred
interest of approximately $35,504,000 matured.

Relating to the sale of the  Amberleigh  on December 31, 2001,  the  Partnership
paid  $9,538,066 for a partial  redemption of Notes,  and paid  $7,461,934 for a
partial payment of deferred  interest,  effective  February 28, 2002. Cash funds
were not  sufficient  at  February  28,  2002 to  fully  repay  the  outstanding
principal balance of $18,991,176 in Notes and deferred interest. Since available
cash after  payment of  Partnership  expenses and  potential  collection  of the
Amberleigh  promissory notes was  insufficient to repay the outstanding  Pension
Notes and deferred  interest,  the unpaid debt related to the Pension  Notes has
been treated as forgiven for book purposes and resulted in $18,991,176 of income
for  the  year  ended  2002.  For  tax  purposes,  any  income  relating  to the
forgiveness of unpaid debt and deferred  interest will be recognized in the year
the Pension Notes are deemed cancelled,  which has not yet occurred.  Upon final
liquidation of the Partnership's  cash reserves,  to the extent any funds are in
excess of  liabilities,  those funds will be  distributed  to the  Pension  Note
holders.

                                       7

The Partnership  adopted Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) Statement
No.  145,  Recession  of FASB No.  4,44  and 64,  Amendment  of FASB No.  13 and
Technical  Corrections,  during the first quarter of 2003. Upon adoption of FASB
Statement  No.  145,  the  Partnership  reclassified  its  extraordinary  income
recorded in 2002 on debt forgiveness to ordinary income.


Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  balance  sheet as of December  31, 2002 has been derived from
audited financial  statements of the Partnership for the year ended December 31,
2002 and the accompanying  unaudited financial statements,  as of March 31, 2003
and 2002,  have been  prepared  pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  As of December 31, 2001,  the  Partnership
changed its basis of accounting from  going-concern  basis to liquidation basis.
Under this basis of accounting,  assets and  liabilities are stated at their net
realizable  value and estimated costs through the liquidation  date are provided
to the extent reasonably determinable.  Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  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, 2002 included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2003.

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  net assets in  liquidation  as of March 31,  2003 and
December 31, 2002,  statements of changes in net assets in  liquidation  for the
three month  period  ended March 31,  2003,  results of  operations,  changes in
Partner's  equity  (deficit)  and cash flows for three month periods ended March
31, 2003 and 2002.  The results of operations for the  three-month  period ended
March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending
December 31, 2003.

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 sole general partner of the  Partnership.  On June 10, 1998, the sole
owner of CRGSH,  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 bears a current  interest rate of 8 percent per annum. As of March 31, 2003,
the unpaid  interest on this note is $9,284 and the unpaid  balance on this note
is  $717,938.  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.


Certain  home office  personnel  who perform  services for the  Partnership  are
employees of Capital Senior Living, Inc. (CSL), an affiliate of CRGSH until June
30, 1998. The Partnership reimburses CSL for the salaries, related benefits, and
overhead  reimbursements  of such  personnel as  reflected  in the  accompanying
financial statements. Salary and related benefits reimbursed and expensed by the
Partnership  to CSL for the first fiscal  quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
were $0.  Management  fees,  dietary  fees and  other  services  reimbursed  and
expensed by the  Partnership to CSL for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31,
2003 and 2002,  were $116 and $68,350,  respectively.  Unpaid  management  fees,
dietary fees and other services to CSL at March 31, 2003 were $106,800.

                                       8
<PAGE>

In  connection  with the sale of the  Amberleigh,  the  General  Partner  became
entitled to a brokerage fee of $255,000.  In January 2002, the Partnership  paid
the General Partner  one-half of this amount,  or $127,500.  The General Partner
remains  entitled to receive the balance of this  brokerage fee in the amount of
$127,500 and has been accrued for payment at March 31, 2003.

There were no distributions to the General Partner during the three months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.


C.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 17, 2002,  William Bren filed a putative class action  complaint on
behalf of certain  holders of Pension Notes of the  Partnership  in the Delaware
Court of Chancery,  C.A. No. 19902 (the "Bren Action"),  against the Partnership
and the General Partner.  The complaint in the Bren Action, which was amended on
December 3, 2002,  alleges that the General Partner  breached its fiduciary duty
by failing to  initiate a lawsuit  against,  among  others,  the former  General
Partner and its principals in connection with the sale of four properties by the
Partnership  in September  1998;  failed to disclose  material  information  and
promised to make  certain  distributions  when it  solicited  consents  from the
Pension Note holders in 2001 to facilitate the sale of the  Partnership's  fifth
property,  the  Amberleigh,  which sale occurred in December 2001; and failed to
disclose  material  information in connection  with obtaining  releases from the
Pension Note holders in 2002. The Bren Action also seeks a judgment  against the
Partnership  for failing to pay the full amount of the  principal  and  interest
owed on the Pension Notes on December 21, 2001, the maturity date of the Pension
Notes.

On February 10, 2003, the defendants  moved to dismiss the amended  complaint in
the Bren Action or,  alternatively,  for  summary  judgment.  Briefing  has been
completed on this motion and the matter is expected to be submitted to the Court
shortly for decision.  Previously, on October 15, 2002, plaintiff filed a motion
for class  certification,  which  plaintiff is pursuing at the present time. The
Partnership  believes  the  allegations  asserted in the Bren Action are without
merit and intends to defend against these claims.  The  Partnership is unable at
the time to estimate liability, if any, related to this claim.


D.       PENSION NOTES

Relating to the sale of the  Amberleigh  on December 31, 2001,  the  Partnership
paid  $9,538,066 for a partial  redemption of Notes,  and paid  $7,461,934 for a
partial redemption of deferred interest, effective February 28, 2002. Cash funds
were not  sufficient  at  February  28,  2002 to  fully  repay  the  outstanding
principal and deferred  interest  balance of  $18,991,176.  Since available cash
after payment of Partnership expenses and potential collection of the Amberleigh
promissory  notes was  insufficient to repay the outstanding  Notes and deferred
interest,  the  unpaid  debt  related  to the  Notes has been  treated  for book
purposes as forgiven  and resulted in  $18,991,176  of income for the year ended
2002. For tax purposes any income relating to the forgiveness of unpaid debt and
deferred interest will be recognized in the year the Notes are deemed cancelled,
which has not yet occurred.  Upon final  liquidation of the  Partnership's  cash
reserves, to the extent any funds are in excess of liabilities, those funds will
be distributed to Note Holders.

                                       9
<PAGE>

The Partnership's  obligation to repay the principal amount of the Notes,  which
matured on December 31, 2001,  and stated  interest  thereon,  is limited to the
assets of the  Partnership.  The 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

Rent and other asset collections for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003
increased  to $322,675 in 2003 from  $25,276 in 2002.  Increased  rent and other
asset  collections  were due to collections  of accounts  receivable and escrows
related  to the sale of the  Amberleigh.  Salaries,  management  fees and  other
operating expenses paid likewise decreased, from $707,253 in 2002 to $142,322 in
2003.  Decreased  operating  expenses paid was due to the sale of the Amberleigh
and its related December 31, 2001 accruals paid in the first quarter ended March
31, 2002.

Relating to the sale of the  Amberleigh  on December 31, 2001,  the  Partnership
paid  $9,538,066 for a partial  redemption of Notes,  and paid  $7,461,934 for a
partial payment of deferred  interest,  effective  February 28, 2002. Cash funds
were not  sufficient  at  February  28,  2002 to  fully  repay  the  outstanding
principal balance of $18,991,176 in Notes and deferred interest. Since available
cash after  payment of  Partnership  expenses and  potential  collection  of the
Amberleigh  promissory notes was insufficient to repay the outstanding Notes and
deferred  interest,  the  unpaid  debt has been  treated  for book  purposes  as
forgiven and resulted in $18,991,176 of income for the year ended 2002. Net cash
provided by (used in)  operations  after the payment of interest  expense during
the three months  ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was  $184,176 and  $(8,143,538),
respectively.  Interest on the Notes bears stated simple  interest at 13 percent
rate per  annum,  and is paid on a 7  percent  rate per  annum,  however  it was
accrued under the effective interest method at a rate of approximately 9 percent
per  annum  compounded  quarterly  through  May  2001.  As  of  June  2001,  the
Partnership  began  recording  accrued  interest on the  principal at the stated
interest  rate which  represents  the amount that was  scheduled  to be due upon
dissolution of the Partnership. Interest expense totaled $0 and $423,590 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Cash and cash  equivalents  at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002  amounted to
$245,120 and $60,944, respectively.

Dissolution of Partnership

On  February  12,  2001,  due to the pending  maturity  of the Pension  Notes at
December 31, 2001 and to obtain  maximum value through an organized  disposition
of Partnership assets, the General Partner notified the Pension Note holders and
Assignee  Interest  holders of its intent to dissolve the Partnership  effective
May 21, 2001 and liquidate its remaining property, the Amberleigh.

On December 31, 2001, the  Partnership  sold the  Amberleigh to an  unaffiliated
entity for  $20,000,000.  The  Partnership  received two  $1,000,000  promissory
notes,  each payable within 12 months from the date of sale, one Note subject to
the purchaser  obtaining certain levels of financing proceeds and the other note
subject to the  property  achieving  certain  levels of  operating  income.  The
Partnership did not satisfy the requirements for payment under either promissory
note,  and  therefore the  Partnership  will not receive any proceeds from these
notes. The balance of the sale proceeds net of settlement costs and other direct

                                       10
<PAGE>

costs associated with the sale was paid in cash,  resulting in net sale proceeds
of  $16,014,830.  The  Partnership  recognized a $1,491,679  loss on the sale in
2001.  On December 31,  2001,  the  principal on the Pension  Notes and deferred
interest of approximately $35,504,000 matured.

Relating to the sale of the  Amberleigh  on December 31, 2001,  the  Partnership
paid  $9,538,066 for a partial  redemption of Notes,  and paid  $7,461,934 for a
partial payment of deferred  interest,  effective  February 28, 2002. Cash funds
were not  sufficient  at  February  28,  2002 to  fully  repay  the  outstanding
principal balance of $18,991,176 in Notes and deferred interest. Since available
cash after  payment of  Partnership  expenses and  potential  collection  of the
Amberleigh  promissory notes was  insufficient to repay the outstanding  Pension
Notes and deferred  interest,  the unpaid debt related to the Pension  Notes has
been treated as forgiven for book purposes and resulted in $18,991,176 of income
for  the  year  ended  2002.  For  tax  purposes,  any  income  relating  to the
forgiveness of unpaid debt and deferred  interest will be recognized in the year
the Pension Notes are deemed cancelled,  which has not yet occurred.  Upon final
liquidation of the Partnership's  cash reserves,  to the extent any funds are in
excess of  liabilities,  those funds will be  distributed  to the  Pension  Note
holders.


                                       11

Results of Operations

The Partnership net income (loss)  decreased from  $18,476,698 to $(112,634) for
the three-month periods ending March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Net income
(loss) per assignee  interest  decreased  from $432 to $(3) for the  three-month
periods  ending  March 31,  2002 and 2003,  respectively.  The  increase  in the
Partnership's  net loss was principally due to $18,991,176 of income  recognized
from the  dissolution  of the  Partnership  and debt  forgiveness of outstanding
notes and deferred interest in 2002. Total revenues for the three-month  periods
increased  from  $1,571  in 2002 to $3,823 in 2003.  Total  operating  costs and
expenses  increased  from  $1,084  in 2002 to $4,335 in 2003.  The  increase  in
operating  expenses  primarily was due to insurance costs. Note interest expense
decreased from $423,590 to $0 for the three-month  periods ending March 31, 2002
and 2003,  respectively.  The  decrease in Note  interest  expense is due to the
cessation  of interest  expense on the Note  release  date of February 28, 2002.
Other expenses relating to Partnership  administration increased from $91,375 to
$112,122  for  the   three-month   periods  ending  March  31,  2002  and  2003,
respectively, due to increased professional costs.

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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The  Partnership's  General Partner  including its Chief  Executive  Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Partnership's
disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of a date (the "Evaluation Date"),
which was within 90 days of this quarterly  report on Form 10-Q,  have concluded
in their judgment that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Partnership's  disclosure
controls and  procedures  were  adequate  and  designed to ensure that  material
information relating to the Partnership and its subsidiaries would be made known
to them.

There were no significant changes in the Partnership's  internal controls or, to
the General  Partner's  knowledge,  in other  factors  that could  significantly
affect its disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date.

                                     PART II

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On September 17, 2002,  William Bren filed a putative class action  complaint on
behalf of certain  holders of Pension Notes of the  Partnership  in the Delaware
Court of Chancery,  C.A. No. 19902 (the "Bren Action"),  against the Partnership
and the General Partner.  The complaint in the Bren Action, which was amended on
December 3, 2002,  alleges that the General Partner  breached its fiduciary duty
by failing to  initiate a lawsuit  against,  among  others,  the former  General
Partner and its principals in connection with the sale of four properties by the
Partnership  in September  1998;  failed to disclose  material  information  and
promised to make  certain  distributions  when it  solicited  consents  from the
Pension Note holders in 2001 to facilitate the sale of the  Partnership's  fifth
property,  the  Amberleigh,  which sale occurred in December 2001; and failed to
disclose  material  information in connection  with obtaining  releases from the
Pension Note holders in 2002. The Bren Action also seeks a judgment  against the
Partnership  for failing to pay the full amount of the  principal  and  interest
owed on the Pension Notes on December 21, 2001, the maturity date of the Pension
Notes.

On February 10, 2003, the defendants  moved to dismiss the amended  complaint in
the Bren Action or,  alternatively,  for  summary  judgment.  Briefing  has been
completed on this motion and the matter is expected to be submitted to the Court
shortly for decision.  Previously, on October 15, 2002, plaintiff filed a motion
for class  certification,  which  plaintiff is pursuing at the present time. The
Partnership  believes  the  allegations  asserted in the Bren Action are without
merit and intends to defend against these claims.  The  Partnership is unable at
the time to estimate liability, if any, related to this claim.

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Robert Lankford,  Chief Executive  Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
General  Partner  of NHP  Retirement  Housing  Partners  I Limited  Partnership,
certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of NHP Retirement  Housing
Partners I Limited Partnership ("Partnership");

2. Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  report  does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such statements
were made, not  misleading  with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
report;

3.  Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
information  included in this quarterly  report,  fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition,  results of operations,  and cash flows of the
Partnership as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4. I am responsible for  establishing  and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
procedures  (as  defined  in  Exchange  Act Rules  13a-14  and  15d-14)  for the
Partnership and I have:

     a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material
     information  relating  to the  Partnership,  is made  known to me by others
     within  the  Partnership,  particularly  during  the  period in which  this
     quarterly report is being prepared;

     b) evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and
     procedures  as of a date  within 90 days prior to the  filing  date of this
     quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

     c)  presented  in  this   quarterly   report  my   conclusions   about  the
     effectiveness  of  the  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  based  on my
     evaluation as of the Evaluation Date.

5. I have disclosed,  based on my most recent  evaluation,  to the Partnership's
auditors and the General Partner's board of directors:

     a) all  significant  deficiencies  in the design or  operation  of internal
     controls which could adversely affect the Partnership 's ability to record,
     process,  summarize and report  financial data and have  identified for the
     Partnership's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

     b) any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves  management or other
     employees  who  have  a  significant  role  in the  Partnership's  internal
     controls; and

6. I have  indicated  in  this  quarterly  report  whether  or  not  there  were
significant  changes  in  internal  controls  or in  other  factors  that  could
significantly  affect internal controls subsequent to the date of my most recent
evaluation,   including  any  corrective  actions  with  regard  to  significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
