              NHP RETIREMENT HOUSING PARTNERS I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 2001



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
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 Pension Notes
and Interests have been invested in residential rental properties for retirement
age occupants.

Dissolution of Partnership

On December 31, 2001, the Pension Notes and deferred  interest of  approximately
$37,668,000  will  mature and become due.  Given the level of the  Partnership's
cash reserves at December 31, 2000 and estimated  value of  Partnership  assets,
the  Partnership  is not  expected to have  sufficient  funds to fully repay the
maturing Pension Notes and deferred interest on December 31, 2001.  Accordingly,
the Partnership  does not expect to have any funds available for distribution to
the holders of Interests ("Assignee Holders").

If the Pension Notes are not fully paid at their maturity,  a default will occur
under the Pension  Notes and Trust  Indenture  under which the Pension Notes are
administered.   In  such  event,   the  Trustee  may  choose  to  liquidate  the
Partnership's assets in an effort to satisfy the Pension Notes. A concern arises
that such a sale may be a "fire" or "distressed" sale and, as a result,  may not
yield the maximum value for the  Partnership's  assets.  Further  concern arises
from the apparent  weakening in the sales market for senior living  communities.
Because of these  factors and the  savings  that may be  obtained  from  earlier
payment on the Pension Notes,  Capital Realty Group Senior  Housing,  Inc. ("the
General Partner") has deemed it prudent to dissolve the Partnership and sell its
remaining asset to obtain the best terms for a sale and,  accordingly,  maximize
value realization of the Partnership's remaining asset.

Accordingly,  on February 12, 2001, the General Partner  notified the holders of
Pension Notes ("Note  Holders")  and Assignee  Holders of its intent to dissolve
the Partnership and commence a Plan of Liquidation effective May 21, 2001. There
were no  objections  to the  election  of  dissolution  prior  to May 21,  2001.
Therefore,  the  Partnership  is taking all  actions  necessary  to wind-up  the
Partnership's  business  including the sale of all of its remaining assets in an
orderly  fashion and, to the extent of the proceeds  thereof,  pay its creditors
and claims.  On July 5, 2001, the Partnership  entered into contract to sell its
remaining property, The Amberleigh, to an unaffiliated not for profit entity for
$20,000,000  (with lower back up offers from other  bidders)  subject to certain
approvals,  completion  of due  diligence,  financing  contingencies  and  other
customary closing  conditions.  The Partnership  estimates net proceeds from the
sale to be  $18,000,000.  The  Partnership  expects  closing to occur during the
fourth quarter of 2001.

Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  balance  sheet as of December  31, 2000 has been derived from
audited financial  statements of the Partnership for the year ended December 31,
2000 and the accompanying  unaudited financial  statements,  as of September 30,
2001 and 2000,  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, 2000 included in
the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K  filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission on March 31, 2001.

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, 2001 and its
results of  operations,  changes in  partner's  deficit  and cash flows for nine
month periods ended  September 30, 2001 and 2000.  The results of operations for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of
the results for the year ending December 31, 2001.

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  133 ("FAS 133")
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in June 1998. The
Statement is  effective  for all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal years  beginning
after June 15, 2000.  Because of the  Partnership's  minimal use of derivatives,
the adoption of FAS 133 by the  Partnership  in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
did not have a  material  effect  on the  Partnership's  earnings  or  financial
position.

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 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 bears a current  interest  rate of 8 percent 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 or 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  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,
related  benefits and  overhead  reimbursements  reimbursed  and expensed by the
Partnership  to CSL for the third fiscal  quarter  ended  September 30, 2001 and
2000,  were $318,640 and $269,054,  respectively  and were $877,823 and $803,010
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Management
fees, dietary fees and other services reimbursed and expensed by the Partnership
to CSL for the third fiscal  quarter  ended  September  30, 2001 and 2000,  were
$165,788 and $164,511,  respectively and were $488,381 and $470,357 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Distributions of $81,538 were made to the General Partner during the nine months
ended September 30, 2001.

C. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about October 23, 1998, an Assignee  Holder filed a putative  class action
complaint  on behalf of certain  holders  of  Assignee  Interests  in NHP 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  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 intends to vigorously  defend  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.

D. 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. Through March 31, 2001, the
Partnership used the effective interest method, whereby 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 would be paid. As of June 30, 2001, the Partnership has begun recording
accrued interest on the principal at the stated interest rate which represents
the amount which will be paid upon dissolution of the Partnership. The
Partnership's obligation to repay the principal amount of the Pension 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. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, an additional $3,000,000 was paid for deferred
interest not scheduled to become due until December 31, 2001.

</TABLE>


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.  This
parcel is being sold with the main facility.

Rent collections for the nine-month  period increased to $3,943,183 in 2001 from
$3,730,074 in 2000.  Increased rent collections were due to increased  occupancy
at the Amberleigh.  Salaries,  management fees and other operating expenses paid
increased,  from $2,608,084 in 2000 to $2,665,050 in 2001.  Increased  operating
expenses  paid  primarily  were due to  increased  salary and related  benefits,
management fees, dieting fees, and other services paid at September 30, 2001.

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  $1,055,386 for the  nine-month  period ended  September 30,
2001. However,  an additional  $3,000,000 was paid for deferred interest payable
during the nine months ended  September 30, 2001. Net cash (used)  provided from
operations  after the payment of interest  expense  during the nine months ended
September  30,  2001 and  2000  was  ($2,670,983)  and  $271,654,  respectively.
Interest on the Pension  Notes bears stated  simple  interest at 13 percent rate
per annum,  and is paid at a rate of 7 percent per annum,  however it is accrued
under the effective  interest  method at a rate of  approximately  9 percent per
annum  compounded  quarterly  through  March 31,  2001 and accrued at the stated
interest rate at September 30, 2001, which totaled $2,319,112 and $2,469,713 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The remaining 6
percent  unpaid  portion is due at maturity.  Total accrued and unpaid  interest
amounted to $15,044,153  and  $16,780,427 at September 30, 2001 and December 31,
2000, respectively.

Capital  expenditures  decreased  $11,645  from  $130,595 in 2000 to $118,950 in
2001.

Cash and cash  equivalents  at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 amounted
to $2,620,808 and $5,492,588, respectively.

Dissolution of Partnership

On December 31, 2001, the Pension Notes and deferred  interest of  approximately
$37,668,000  will  mature and become due.  Given the level of the  Partnership's
cash reserves at December 31, 2000 and estimated  value of  Partnership  assets,
the  Partnership  is not  expected to have  sufficient  funds to fully repay the
maturing Pension Notes and deferred interest on December 31, 2001.  Accordingly,
the Partnership  does not expect to have any funds available for distribution to
the Assignee Holders.

If the Pension Notes are not fully paid at their maturity,  a default will occur
under the Pension  Notes and Trust  Indenture  under which the Pension Notes are
administered.   In  such  event,   the  Trustee  may  choose  to  liquidate  the
Partnership's assets in an effort to satisfy the Pension Notes. A concern arises
that such a sale may be a "fire" or "distressed" sale and, as a result,  may not
yield the maximum value for the  Partnership's  assets.  Further  concern arises
from the apparent  weakening in the sales market for senior living  communities.
Because of these  factors and the  savings  that may be  obtained  from  earlier
payment on the  Pension  Notes,  the  General  Partner  has deemed it prudent to
dissolve the  Partnership  and sell its remaining asset to obtain the best terms
for a sale and  accordingly,  maximize value  realization  of the  Partnership's
remaining asset.

Accordingly,  on February 12, 2001, the General Partner  notified the holders of
Pension Notes ("Note  Holders")  and Assignee  Holders of its intent to dissolve
the Partnership and commence a Plan of Liquidation effective May 21, 2001. There
were no  objections  to the  election  of  dissolution  prior  to May 21,  2001.
Following  an election to dissolve,  therefore,  the  Partnership  is taking all
actions  necessary to wind-up the Partnership's  business  including the sale of
its  remaining  assets in an orderly  fashion and, to the extent of the proceeds
thereof, pay its creditors and claims.

On July 5 2001,  the  Partnership  entered into  contract to sell its  remaining
property,  The  Amberleigh,  to  an  unaffiliated  not  for  profit  entity  for
$20,000,000  (with lower back up offers from other  bidders)  subject to certain
approvals,  completion  of due  diligence,  financing  contingencies  and  other
customary closing  conditions.  The Partnership  estimates net proceeds from the
sale to be  $18,000,000.  The  Partnership  expects  closing to occur during the
fourth quarter of 2001.


Results of Operations

The Partnership's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 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 non-cash in nature.

The  Partnership  net loss  decreased  from  $1,804,940  to  $1,614,947  for the
nine-month  periods ending September 30, 2000 and 2001,  respectively.  Net loss
per  Assignee  Interest  was  $42 and $38  for  the  nine-month  periods  ending
September 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in the Partnership's net
loss was principally due to increased  occupancy and revenues at the Amberleigh,
decreased interest expense and decreased other expenses.  Total revenues for the
nine-month  periods increased from $3,934,629 in 2000 to $4,051,248 in 2001. The
increase in total  revenues  was due to increased  occupancy at the  Amberleigh.
Total  operating  costs  and  expenses  increased  from  $2,922,556  in  2000 to
$3,021,570  in 2001.  The increase in operating  expenses  primarily  was due to
inflationary  cost  increases.  Pension Note  interest  expense  decreased  from
$2,469,713 to $2,319,112  for the nine-month  periods ending  September 30, 2000
and  2001,  respectively.  The  decrease  in  pension  note  expense  was due to
calculating  deferred  interest  at the  stated  interest  rate of 13%  from the
effective   interest  rate  of  9%.  Other  expenses   relating  to  Partnership
administration  decreased from $258,047 to $236,260 for the  nine-month  periods
ending September 30, 2000 and 2001, 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 Assignee  Holder filed a putative  class action
complaint  on behalf of certain  holders  of  Assignee  Interests  in NHP 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  Holder  purchased 90 Assignee
Interests in the  Partnership in February 1993 for $180. The complaint  alleges,
