                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Cushman Management Associates, Inc. and Affiliates
Topsfield, Massachusetts

         We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Cushman
Management Associates, Inc. and Affiliates as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and
the related combined statements of income and owners' equity, and cash flows for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of
Cushman Management Associates, Inc. and Affiliates as of December 31, 1995 and
1996, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A summary of the Companies' significant accounting policies follows:

         a) BASIS ON COMBINATION: The combined financial statements include all
     the accounts of the above-named entities. All significant intercompany
     balances and transactions have been eliminated.

         b) PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE: Private patient service revenue is reported
     at the estimated net realizable amounts. Third-party payor revenues are
     recorded as indicated in Note 2.

         c) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
     Depreciation of building and improvements is calculated using the
     straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives that
     range from five to forty years. Depreciation of equipment and motor
     vehicles is calculated using the straight-line and accelerated methods over
     the estimated useful lives that range from three to ten years. Depreciation
     charged to operations amounted to $309 and $310 for 1995 and 1996,
     respectively.

         d) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Companies consider all short-term
     debt securities purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
     to be cash equivalents.

         e) INCOME TAXES: Cushman Management Associates, Inc.; Danvers Twin Oaks
     Nursing Home, Inc.; Saugus Nursing Home, Inc.; and Evtan Nursing Home,
     Inc.; have elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the
     Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Companies do not pay
     federal income taxes on their taxable income. Instead, the stockholders are
     liable for individual income taxes on their respective share of the
     Companies' taxable income.

         As a result of an audit by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue in
     1996, the Companies are considered to be engaged in a unitary business and
     have exceeded certain gross income limitations for state income tax
     purposes. Consequently, the Companies are liable for state corporate income
     taxes on its taxable income and were assessed additional state income taxes
     for the years 1993 through 1995 which have been recorded in 1996.

         No income taxes are payable by or provided for Cedar Glen Nursing Home,
     a Limited Partnership. Partners are liable for individual federal and state
     income taxes on their respective share of the Partnership's taxable income.

         f) INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Intangible assets are stated on the basis of cost
     and are amortized on a straight-line basis, over the estimated future
     periods to be benefited, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Amortization charged to
     operations amounted to $14 and $12 for 1995 and 1996, respectively.

         g) ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the reporting period. Actual costs could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         h) PROMOTIONAL ADVERTISING: Promotional advertising costs are expensed
     as incurred. Promotional advertising costs charged to operations amounted
     to $104 and $72 for 1995 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 2--PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES FROM THIRD PARTY PAYORS

SUMMARY OF THE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH THIRD PARTY PAYORS

         MEDICAID--PROSPECTIVE RATE SYSTEM--The Companies receive reimbursement
from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under the prospective rate of payment
system for the care and services rendered to publicly-aided patients in
long-term care facilities pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Division of
Health Care Finance and Policy (the Division). Under the regulations, the
current year rates are calculated utilizing base year costs adjusted for
inflation. The base year costs are subject to audit which could result in a
retroactive rate adjustment for the current year.

         As a result of the audit of prior years' cost reports by the Division,
the Companies have received amended prospective rates for the years 1991 and
1992. The amended rates resulted in a retroactive adjustment due the Companies
of $133 and $150 for 1991 and 1992, respectively. These settlements have been
received in 1996 and such settlements have been reflected under the caption
"Total Net Revenue" on Exhibit B to the extent not previously reflected.

         Management estimates that the Companies have underspent the OBRA
component of the prospective rate during 1991, 1992 and 1993, resulting in a
retroactive adjustment due the Commonwealth of $15, $11 and $14 for 1991, 1992
and 1993, respectively. These retroactive adjustments have been settled in 1996
and such settlements have been reflected under the caption "Total Net Revenue"
on Exhibit B to the extent not previously recorded.

         MEDICARE--The Companies receive reimbursement for patient care under
the federally sponsored Medicare program through an insurance intermediary.
During the year, an interim rate is assigned based upon the cost experience of a
prior year modified by its current regulations, and the facilities are paid at
this rate during the year. A cost report is filed with, and audited by, the
insurance intermediary. A final rate which may be subject to cost limitations is
then established and final settlement of the difference is called for under the
regulations.

         Final settlements have been received through 1994 and such settlements
have been included in the caption "Total Net Revenue" on Exhibit B, to the
extent that they had not been reflected in prior years.

         In as much as the final settlement rates for 1995 and 1996 cannot be
determined with sufficient accuracy for proper recording in these financial
statements, the income for these years has been recorded at the interim rate of
payment. The actual amounts will be accrued in the year of settlement.

NOTE 7--CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Companies to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of the following:

         a.) CASH: The Companies maintain cash balances in several federally
     insured financial institutions in the same geographic area. The cash
     exceeding federally insured limits totaled $995 at December 31, 1996. There
     may be times during the year when uninsured cash is significantly higher.

         b.) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: The Companies extend unsecured credit to their
     private patients and patients covered under third-party payor arrangements.
     Accounts receivable from private patients and third-party payors totaled
     $2,015 at December 31, 1996. See Note (2) and Note (3) for details of
     third-party payor arrangements and receivable balances, respectively.

         c.) DUE FROM RELATED PARTIES: The Companies extend unsecured credit to
     their affiliates and owners. The balance due from related parties totaled
     $124 at December 31, 1996. See Note (4) for further details.

NOTE 8--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         a) Pursuant to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Medical Assistance
Program regulations, the Companies are members of a group of related nursing
homes (the Group) which are considered to be under common ownership.
Consequently, all members of the Group are contingently liable for the
recoupments of liabilities of other members of the Group.

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)


NOTE 8--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES--(CONTINUED)

         b) A significant portion of the Companies' revenues are derived from
services reimbursable under the Medicaid program, (See Note 2). The base year
costs utilized in calculating the Medicaid prospective rates are subject to
audit which could result in a retroactive rate adjustment for all years in which
that base year's costs are utilized in calculating the prospective rate. It is
not possible at this time to determine whether the Companies will be audited or
if a retroactive rate adjustment would result.

         c.) A portion of the Companies' revenues are derived from services
under the Medicare program, (see Note 2). Under this program all cost report
years are subject to audit which could result in a retroactive rate adjustment.
It is not possible at this time to determine whether the Companies will be
audited or if a retroactive rate adjustment will result.

         If the Companies' Medicare Fiscal Intermediary were to issue prudent
buyer adjustments for 1996 using the same methodology as applied to 1995, as
detailed in Note 9 (b), this would result in a payable to the Medicare program
of approximately $280. The Companies would vigorously contest any adjustments
made by the fiscal intermediary. In addition, the Companies contract with
outside suppliers of therapy services provides for indemnification to the
Companies in the event that Medicare limits reimbursement to less then cost.
Consequently, no provision has been made to the accompanying financial
statements.

NOTE 9--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         a.) SALE OF THE NURSING HOMES: In August 1997, the Companies sold their
nursing home property, equipment and operating licenses for $16,450 resulting in
a gain of 11,447. The nursing home companies retained all assets, other than
property and equipment, and all liabilities. In addition, the Management Company
sold for $100 its contracts with outside nursing facilities.

         b.) MEDICARE SETTLEMENTS: In 1997, the Companies' Medicare Fiscal
Intermediary issued settlements for 1995, which include a limitation of the
ancillary therapy services to less than cost. These settlements result in a
payable to the Medicare program of approximately $130. The Companies strongly
disagree with these settlements and will vigorously contest these settlements
through the appeal process.

         The Companies contract with outside suppliers of therapy services
provides for indemnification to the Companies in the event that Medicare limits
reimbursement to less than the providers cost, consequently, no provision has
been made in the accompanying financial statement for this retroactive
adjustment.
