              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

     The Company

     Regent Assisted Living, Inc. ("the Company") is an owner, operator, and
     developer of private-pay assisted living communities. Assisted living is
     part of a spectrum of long-term care services that provide a combination of
     housing, personal services, and health care designed to respond to elderly
     individuals who require assistance with activities of daily living in a
     manner that promotes maximum independence.

     On December 26, 1995, the Company sold 1,400,000 shares of common stock to
     the public at a price of $7.50 per share in an initial public offering (the
     Offering). Concurrently, the Company sold an additional 233,000 shares at a
     price of $7.50 per share to Mr. Walter C. Bowen, the Chairman of the Board,
     Chief Executive Officer, President, and majority shareholder of the
     Company. The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $10.8 million
     from these transactions.

     On December 16, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 1,283,785 shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock and 382,882 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for
     the aggregate price of $10 million.

     The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
     reflect the operations of three assisted living communities (Regency Park,
     Sterling Park and Sunshine Villa) and the property management services
     provided to one community (Park Place). The results of operations for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1997, additionally reflect the operation of
     two new assisted living communities (Willow Park and West Wind) and the
     property management services provided to one additional community (Sun
     Oak). As of November 12, 1997, the Company had also commenced operations at
     its new assisted living community in San Antonio, Texas, was awaiting final
     licensure of its new community in Folsom, California, and had an additional
     24 assisted living and stand alone Alzheimer's care communities in various
     stages of development.

     The Company also provides management and administrative services for Bowen
     Property Management Co., Bowen Financial Services Corp., Bowen Development
     Company, and Bowen Condominium Marketing, Inc. (collectively, the Bowen
     Companies), all of which are Oregon corporations and are wholly owned by
     Mr. Bowen. These services are provided pursuant to the terms of an
     Administrative Services Agreement described in Note 3.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as
     of September 30, 1997, and for the three month and nine month periods ended

                         FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued


5.   Accounting Pronouncements:

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued several
     accounting pronouncements that the Company will be required to adopt in
     future fiscal reporting periods.

     FASB Statement No. 128 "Earnings per Share" establishes new guidelines for
     the calculation of and disclosures regarding earnings per share. The
     Company will adopt the provisions of Statement No. 128 during the first
     quarter of 1998 and at that time will be required to present basic and
     diluted earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. There will be
     no impact on the calculation of basic earnings per share for the three
     months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Diluted earnings
     per share is not expected to differ materially from basic earnings per
     share.

     The Company will adopt FASB Statement No. 129 "Disclosure of Information
     About Capital Structure" during the first quarter of 1998. The Company does
     not expect that adoption of the disclosure requirements of this
     pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial statements.

     FASB Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which the Company
     will adopt during the first quarter of 1998, establishes standards for
     reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in
     financial statements. Comprehensive income generally represents all changes
     in shareholders' equity except those resulting from investments by or
     distributions to shareholders. Such changes are generally not significant
     to the Company; and the adoption of Statement No. 130, including the
     required comparative presentation for prior periods, is not expected to
     have a material impact on its financial statements.

*    A limited liability company in which the Company owns a 90 percent interest
     owns this community. The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase
     the remaining ten percent interest and anticipates that this transaction
     will close November 14, 1997.

**   A limited liability company in which the Company owns a 50 percent interest
     will own the Company's community in Kenmore. The Company will manage the
     community.

Fourteen additional new communities were under varying stages of development as
of November 12, 1997. If all 24 communities are developed, operations of the
Company will increase by approximately 2,500 beds to a total of approximately
3,300. The Company continues to pursue its primary strategy of developing new
communities and is therefore engaged in negotiations to acquire several
additional sites and is pursuing joint venture opportunities with parties who
control parcels of land in strategic markets. All costs associated with the
development of these communities have been capitalized as "Construction in
Progress" as disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements. Furthermore, continuing its efforts to pursue strategic
acquisitions, the Company is engaged in discussions with several parties
relative to purchasing currently operating communities in its targeted regions.

The Company currently plans to open fifteen new "Regent" prototypical assisted
living communities and five "Regent Court" stand alone Alzheimer's care
communities by December 31, 1998. The foregoing schedule of projected openings
differs from the Company's previously announced schedule, due primarily to
construction delays experienced by the Company at several of its sites, although
most delays have been limited to one to two months. In addition, the Company is
experiencing a backlog of license applications in some jurisdictions that may
result in a delay of obtaining the necessary operating licenses and permits. The
Company believes that it will be able to obtain the necessary operating licenses
and permits for all of its planned new communities.

In connection with the sale by the Company of its Class A and Class B Preferred
Stock, the Company agreed to open at least ten new communities and at least
1,000 new units by December 31, 1997. If the Company does not achieve this
development goal, the price at which the preferred stock is convertible into the
Company's common stock will be decreased from $6.00 per share to $5.50 per
share, resulting in the issuance of an additional 151,515 shares of common stock
upon conversion of all of the preferred stock. The current holder of the
Company's issued and outstanding preferred stock, Prudential Private Equity
Investors III, L.P., also holds a warrant that entitles it to purchase up to
200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $5.50 if the
development goal is not achieved.

The Company does not currently expect to satisfy the development goal of opening
ten new communities with at least 1,000 units in 1997 through development of new
communities. However, as stated above, the Company is continuing to pursue
strategic acquisition opportunities and is engaged in discussions with several
parties concerning the same. Although it is not certain that it will do so, if
the Company acquires some or all of the communities currently under evaluation,
it is likely that the Company would satisfy the foregoing development goal.

Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997, are not necessarily indicative of future financial performance as the
Company intends to expand its operating base of communities.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997, Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1996

Revenues. For the three month period ended September 30, 1997, revenues were
$3,596,080 compared to $3,366,324 in the three month period ended September 30,
1996. The Company operated three communities and managed a fourth in the three
month period ended September 30, 1996, whereas the Company began operating its
fourth community in May 1997 and its fifth in July 1997, and began managing a
second community in May 1997. The increase in revenue of $229,756 or 6.8
percent, includes $367,964 of revenue from newly opened communities and a
decrease in revenue of $148,398 at the Company's three stabilized communities.
Overall average occupancy at the three stabilized communities declined to 91.0
percent for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, from 95.7 percent
for the same period in 1996. The Company continues to face increasing
competition but this has had the greatest impact in the market in which the
Company operates its largest community, thereby having a greater impact on the
Company's overall occupancy rate.

Residence Operating Expenses. Residence operating expenses were $2,681,858 for
the three month period ended September 30, 1997, and $2,089,765 for the same
period in 1996, an increase of $592,093. The current period includes $559,764 of
start-up and pre-opening costs related to eleven of the Company's newly
developed communities. Residence operating expenses, excluding the effect of the
new communities, totaled 62.7 percent and 62.9 percent of rental and service
revenues for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were
$871,058 for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, compared to
$423,729 for the three month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase of
$447,329 is due primarily to the increase in development activities by the
Company, including payroll and related costs primarily resulting from staffing
increases related to the implementation of the Company's strategy for rapid
growth.

Lease Expense. Lease expense for the Company's leased communities was $914,776
for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, and was $689,312 for the
same period for 1996. The increase of $225,464 includes $61,954 for West Wind
and $181,326 for Willow Park.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $88,646
for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, compared to $61,848 for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996.

Interest Income. Interest income increased in the three month period ended
September 30, 1997, to $83,290, from $73,365 for the same period in 1996. All
investments of cash and cash equivalents are in high quality, short term
securities placed with institutions with high credit ratings.

Interest Expense. The Company reported no interest expense for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, compared to $129,456 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996. The Company capitalized $523,390 of interest charges
incurred during the three months ended September 30, 1997. The capitalized
interest offsets substantially higher interest costs incurred by the Company in
the current period arising from increased borrowing for construction purposes
and in connection with the Sunshine Villa sale/leaseback financing.

Net Income (loss). Net operating results decreased to a loss of $881,732 during
the three month period ended September 30, 1997, from net income of $33,051 for
the same period in 1996. The current period loss is indicative of the Company's
expansion efforts and is expected to continue until the income from stabilized
communities exceeds the initial operating losses generated from new communities.
The decrease in net results is primarily due to an increase in general and
administrative expenses (as discussed above), an increase in lease expense (as
discussed above), a decrease in residence operating profits (rental and service
revenue less residence operating expenses) of $372,528, offset by an decrease in
interest expense of $129,456.


Nine months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine months Ended September 30,
1996

Revenues. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, revenues increased
by $378,887, or 3.8%, to $10,224,298, compared to $9,845,411 in the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996. The increase in revenue includes $393,116 of
revenue from newly opened communities and a decrease in revenue of $26,127 at
the Company's three stabilized communities. Overall average occupancy at the
three stabilized communities decreased slightly to 93.4 percent for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997, from 94.8 percent for the same period in
1996.

Residence Operating Expenses. Residence operating expenses were $7,015,759 for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, and $6,010,159 for the same
period in 1996. The increase of $1,005,600 is due primarily to the combined
impact of slightly higher than expected operating costs for 1997 with lower than
expected operating costs for 1996. In addition, the current period includes
$804,892 of start-up and pre-opening costs related to eleven of the Company's
new communities. Residence operating expenses, excluding the effect of the new
communities, totaled 62.7 percent and 61.9 percent of rental and service
revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were
$2,233,909 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, compared to
$1,348,073 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase of
$885,836 is due primarily to the increase in development activities by the
Company, including payroll and related costs primarily resulting from staffing
increases related to the implementation of the Company's strategy for rapid
growth.

Lease Expense. Lease expense for the Company's leased communities was $2,403,127
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, and was $2,067,937 for the
same period for 1996. The increase of $335,190 includes $61,954 for West Wind
and $259,107 for Willow Park.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was
$235,494 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, compared to
$180,979 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996.

Interest Income. Interest income increased in the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, to $305,881, from $277,346 for the same period in 1996, an
increase of $28,535.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased in the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, to $101,228, from $388,037 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997. The Company capitalized $895,582 of interest charges
incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

<PAGE>
Net Income (loss). Net operating results decreased to a loss of $1,421,998
during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, from net income of
$90,156 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in net results is primarily
due to an increase in general and administrative expenses (as discussed above),
an increase in lease expense (as discussed above), a decrease in residence
operating profits (rental and service revenue less residence operating expenses)
of $638,611, offset by an decrease in interest expense of $286,809.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of
approximately $240,000 compared to approximately $10.3 million of working
capital at December 31, 1996. The decrease of approximately $10.6 million is
primarily related to expenditures for development activities. Current
liabilities include approximately $3.3 million of short-term borrowings and
development related payables for which the Company intends to obtain long-term
financing. During the remainder of 1997, the Company intends to utilize current
working capital sources to develop and construct the Company's prototypical
Regent and Regent Court communities.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $1,235,934 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1997, which resulted primarily from a net loss of
$1,421,998.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $27,716,956 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1997, comprised primarily of $30,650,922 used in
development activities offset by $2,939,448 provided from the maturity of
investments. During the period, the Company incurred construction costs in
twelve locations and conducted preliminary development activities related to
fifteen sites. At September 30, 1997, the aggregate purchase price for the
Company's binding options related to eight parcels of land was approximately
$6.5 million. The Company has paid initial deposits relating to these sites and
has also completed the demographic analysis and other preliminary due diligence
for purposes of developing assisted living communities or Alzheimer's care
communities at these sites.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $23,945,446 during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997, consisting of construction and equipment
financing proceeds totaling $22,664,466, short-term borrowings of $1,532,205,
net reimbursements and development fees from REIT's totaling $730,000, offset by
increases in restricted cash of $724,469, payment of preferred stock issuance
costs of $600,159, and payment of preferred stock dividends of $476,230.

As of the end of the third quarter of 1997, the Company had completed the
following construction loans:

Amount                 Community                            Lender
------                 ---------                            ------

$  6,850,000          Folsom, California            US National Bank of Oregon
$  5,935,000          Kenmore, Washington           US National Bank of Oregon
$  7,600,000          Vacaville, California         US National Bank of Oregon

$  7,700,000          Austin, Texas                 Guaranty Federal Bank, FSB
$  7,375,500          Rio Rancho, New Mexico        Guaranty Federal Bank, FSB
$  6,255,000          Eugene, Oregon                Wells Fargo
$  6,450,000          Roseville, California         Key Bank
$  7,115,000          Tucson, Arizona               Bank United of Texas, FSB
$  7,000,000          Henderson, Nevada             Bank United of Texas, FSB

The Company has also received commitments or expressions of intent to provide
the following construction financing:

Amount                   Community                           Lender
------                   ---------                           ------

$15,000,000        Multiple locations *            US National Bank of Oregon

*    This loan facility can be used for the construction of up to five Regent
     Court stand-alone Alzheimer's care communities.

The Company has completed a total of five transactions with two real estate
investment trusts pursuant to which the Company sold its Sunshine Villa
community and obtained approximately $26.1 million of lease financing for its
San Antonio, Clovis, and two Boise communities.

Additional project financing of up to $174.5 million has been agreed to, in
principal terms, between the Company and Meditrust, a healthcare real estate
investment trust. The financing is divided into three facilities. The first
provides up to $100 million in sale/leaseback financing for communities
currently under construction and for acquisition of new communities. The second
provides an additional $70 million in financing for future development and
acquisition activities. The third is a $4.5 million line of credit available
primarily for development related expenditures, including site acquisition. As
of November 12, 1997, the outstanding balance on the line of credit totaled
$2,232,205.

Each of the pending financing transactions is subject to a number of conditions,
including the negotiation and execution of definitive documents and the
satisfactory completion of due diligence on the related properties, and there is
no assurance that any of these financing transactions will be completed on the
terms proposed, or at all.

The Company anticipates capital expenditures for 1997 will include additional
land acquisition costs, architectural fees, and other development costs related
to at least fourteen assisted living and Alzheimer's care communities and
construction costs related to at least fifteen new assisted living and
Alzheimer's care communities. The Company's plan to open at least fifteen
"Regent" and five Regent Court communities between December 1995 and December
31, 1998, of which two Regent communities have opened, a third is awaiting
licensure and ten more are under construction and are expected to open by the
second quarter of 1998. The Company will likely require additional financing
prior to construction of the two remaining Regent communities and the five
Regent Court communities. Such financing may take the form of debt or equity,
including a public or private debt or equity offering by either the Company or
with respect solely to one or more new communities, or conventional bank
financing, or the use of sale/leaseback financing from real estate investment
trusts. The amount of such additional financing will be dependent upon the
amount of security deposits required under, and other terms of, the
sale/leaseback financing arrangements the Company expects to negotiate, the
performance of the Company's newly developed communities and existing
properties, and the extent to which the Company engages in development
activities for projects in addition to the 24 communities currently under
varying stages of development or construction. If the Company is unable to
obtain additional required financing, or if such financing is not available on
acceptable terms, the Company believes that its plan to develop these 24 new
communities by the second quarter of 1998 would likely be delayed or curtailed.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information set forth in this report in the sections entitled "Overview" and
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" regarding the Company's acquisition of sites
for development, the Company's development, construction, financing, and opening
of new assisted living communities, and the Company's plans to develop,
construct, and operate new Regent Court communities constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
is subject to the safe harbor created by that section. The development of
additional assisted living communities will involve a number of risks including,
without limitation, the risk that the Company will be unable to locate suitable
sites, risks relating to the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining,
necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy, and other required governmental
permits and authorizations, risks that financing may not be available on
satisfactory terms, environmental risks, risks that construction costs may
exceed original estimates, risks that construction and lease-up may not be
completed on schedule, and risks relating to the competitive environment for
development. The foregoing risks could cause the Company to significantly delay
or curtail its planned growth and could cause one or more of the Company's new
communities to not be profitable. Additional factors that could cause results to
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements
include, without limitation, the ability of the Company to raise additional
financing upon terms acceptable to the Company, increases in the costs
associated with new construction, competition, and acceptance of the Company's
prototype community in new geographic markets. The Company's growth strategy is
subject to the risk that occupancy rates at newly-developed communities may not
be achieved or sustained at expected levels, in which case the Company will
experience greater than anticipated operating losses in connection with the
opening of new communities and the Company's need for additional financing to
meet its growth plans will likely increase. Furthermore, the Company's growth
will place increasing pressure on the Company's management controls and require
the Company to locate, train, assimilate, and retain additional community
managers and support staff. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to successfully manage this growth.
