Note 1.  Basis of Presentation and Organization

The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  of Five  Star
Quality  Care,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries  have been  prepared  without  audit.
Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  required by generally  accepted
accounting  principles for complete financial  statements have been condensed or
omitted.  We believe the  disclosures  made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.  However, the accompanying financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2001. In the opinion
of  our  management,  all  adjustments,  which  include  only  normal  recurring
adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair presentation,  have been included.
All   intercompany   transactions   and  balances  between  Five  Star  and  its
subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the full
year.

Until  December 31, 2001, we were a wholly owned  subsidiary  of Senior  Housing
Properties  Trust  ("Senior  Housing").  On December  31, 2001,  Senior  Housing
distributed   substantially  all  of  our  common  shares  to  Senior  Housing's
shareholders (the "Spin-Off"). We entered into a transaction agreement to govern
our initial capitalization and other events related to the Spin-Off. Pursuant to
the transaction agreement, our initial capitalization of $50,000 was provided by
Senior  Housing and we entered into a lease  agreement  with Senior  Housing for
certain  facilities.  On January 2, 2002,  we acquired  FSQ, Inc. in a stock for
stock  transaction.  On January 11, 2002, we entered a lease with Senior Housing
for 31 independent  and assisted living  communities  managed by a subsidiary of
Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott"). In March and April 2002, we completed
a public offering of 3,823,300 common shares raising net proceeds of $26,263. On
April 1 2002, we purchased and began to operate five additional  independent and
assisted living communities.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

RESTRICTED  CASH.  Restricted cash includes $3,800 we have deposited as security
for letters of credit which  secure  obligations  arising from our  professional
liability  insurance program.  Restricted cash also includes $518 we placed into
escrow as required by certain healthcare regulatory agencies.

REVENUE  RECOGNITION.  Our  revenues  are  derived  primarily  from  services to
residents at  properties we own or lease.  We accrue  revenues when services are
provided  and revenues  are earned.  Some of our revenues are provided  with the
expectation  of payment from  governments  or other  third-party  payors;  these
revenues are reported at their estimated net realizable  amounts at the time the
services are provided.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results
could differ from those estimates.

INCOME TAXES. Prior to the Spin-Off, substantially all of our taxable income was
included in the taxable income of Senior Housing.  After the Spin-Off,  we are a
separate entity and are responsible for our own tax liabilities and filings. For
the six month  period ended June 30,  2002,  we generated  losses for income tax
purposes  which created a net operating  loss carry  forward.  Because we have a
short  operating  history during which we have generated no taxable  income,  we
have fully  reserved the value of this net operating  loss carry  forward.  As a
result,  we have  recorded no income tax benefit for the six month  period ended
June 30, 2002.

PER COMMON  SHARE  AMOUNTS.  Earnings  per share for the periods  ended June 30,
2002,  are computed  using the  weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding
during the periods. Earnings per share for the periods ended June 30, 2001, have
been  computed  as  if  the  shares  outstanding  at  December  31,  2001,  were
outstanding  as of  January  1,  2001.  We have  no  common  share  equivalents,
instruments convertible into common shares or other dilutive instruments.

                                   (Unaudited)

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.  In 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations", SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No.
144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets".  We
adopted these pronouncements on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these standards
did  not  have a  material  effect  on our  financial  position  or  results  of
operations. See footnote 8 regarding discontinued operations.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT.  Property and equipment is stated at cost. We depreciate
furniture, fixtures and equipment on a straight-line basis over five to 12 years
and buildings on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

IMPAIRMENT.  When  conditions  or events occur that  management  believes  might
indicate that property and equipment or other long-lived assets are impaired, an
analysis of estimated future  undiscounted cash flows is undertaken to determine
if any  write-down  of the carrying  value of the asset is required.  During the
quarter ended June 30, 2002, we incurred asset impairment charges of $1,649. The
largest  component of this charge related to skilled  nursing bed licenses which
are currently  held for sale. A prior  agreement to sell these  licenses did not
close; and, based on the decline in estimated market value of these licenses, we
reduced their carrying value by $1,500.  The remainder of these charges  related
to a three percent interest in a partnership  which owns a retirement  community
which we acquired as an incidental  asset as part of our transaction to lease 31
senior living  communities  managed by Marriott in January 2002, and that we now
believe is permanently impaired.

SELF-INSURANCE.  We are  self-insured  up to  certain  limits  for  our  workers
compensation and  professional  liability  insurance.  Claims in excess of these
self funded limits are fully insured. We accrue the estimated cost of these self
funded  amounts  based on  projected  settlements  for pending  claims and known
incidents  which we expect  may  result in claims.  Periodically  these  accrued
estimates  are  adjusted  based upon our claims  payment  experience  or revised
estimates from our consulting professionals. Starting in August 2002, we will be
self insured for a portion of our employee health insurance.

RESTRUCTURING  COSTS.  During the quarter  ended June 30,  2002,  we reduced the
number of our regional offices and had staff reductions in our home office. As a
result,  we incurred  restructuring  costs for severance  payments to terminated
employees.

Note 3.  Long Term Liabilities

The long term liabilities on our June 30, 2002,  balance sheet represent advance
payments  received from residents at some of our  facilities.  These amounts are
recognized as revenues when services are provided,  based upon  estimates of the
remaining  periods  of the  residents'  expected  lives  or  based  upon  actual
occupancies.

Note 4.  Marriott Managed Communities

On  January  11,  2002,  we  entered  into a lease with  Senior  Housing  for 31
retirement  communities.   These  communities  are  managed  by  Marriott  under
agreements  for terms  generally  expiring in 2027 plus renewal  options for one
five year period. Marriott has responsibility for day-to-day operations of these
communities.  These 31  retirement  communities  are leased from Senior  Housing
through 2017, with renewal options  totaling an additional 15 years. The minimum
rent  payable by us for these  facilities  is $63,000  per year,  plus a varying
percentage of gross revenue,  which is paid as additional rent to Senior Housing
but  escrowed  for  capital  expenditures  at  these  facilities.  In  addition,
percentage  rent will be  payable,  starting in 2003,  in amounts  equal to five
percent (5%) of net patient  revenues at each  facility in excess of net patient
revenues at such facility in 2002.

Marriott  controls  our net  working  capital  of $6,537  for the 31  retirement
communities  they  manage  for  us  consisting   primarily  of  operating  cash,
inventories,   resident  deposits  and  trade  receivables  and  payables.   The
individual components of working capital controlled by Marriott change daily and
are not reported to us.  Accordingly  these  components  are not itemized on our
consolidated  balance  sheet;  however,  the net  working  capital  advanced  is
included in Due from Marriott, net, on our consolidated balance sheet.

Note 5. Acquired Communities

On April 1, 2002 we purchased for $45,500 and began to operate five  independent
and assisted retirement communities containing 704 living units.

Note 6.   Pro Forma Results

Had we entered  into the lease with  Senior  Housing  for the  Marriott  managed
communities and acquired the five retirement  communities as of January 1, 2001,
on a pro forma basis, our revenues and (loss)/income from continuing  operations
would have been  $260,415  and  $(8,462) for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
and $254,030 and $3,761, for the six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

Note 7.   Shareholders' Equity

On April 5, 2002, the  underwriters for our March 2002 offering of common shares
exercised an over allotment option and we issued 123,300 common shares for gross
proceeds  of  $919.  Proceeds  received,  net of  underwriting  commissions  and
estimated costs, were $863.

On May 7, 2002, we issued a total of 5,000 common shares to our five  directors,
or 1,000 shares per director,  as part of their annual compensation.  The shares
were valued at $7.10 per share, which was the closing price of our common shares
on the American Stock Exchange on May 7, 2002.

Note 8.  Discontinued Operations

During the second  quarter of 2002, we ceased  operations at two leased  nursing
homes: one in Phoenix,  Arizona,  which was leased from Senior Housing;  and one
smaller facility in Campbell, Nebraska, which was leased from that municipality.
The Arizona  facility was closed.  The operations of the Nebraska  facility were
assumed by its landlord.  As of June 30, 2002,  substantially  all of our assets
and  liabilities  related to these nursing homes have been disposed of and paid.
The financial  statements for all periods  presented have been  reclassified  to
present these facilities as discontinued  operations.  Below is a summary of the
operating results of these facilities:

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We were a subsidiary of Senior Housing until December 31, 2001. The 2001 results
discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are for a period during which we
were a  subsidiary  of Senior  Housing and they are not  indicative  of what our
results would have been as a separate  public  company.  Similarly these results
are not  indicative  of our  future  financial  performance.  Our 2002 first and
second quarter results of operations  presented in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q differ  materially from the 2001 historical  results  presented.  There are
material differences because our current operations include,  among other items,
rent  expense on leases to Senior  Housing,  general  and  administrative  costs
incurred by us as a separate  public company,  revenues and expenses  related to
the 31 retirement  communities managed by Marriott Senior Living Services,  Inc.
("Marriott")  that we leased  from  Senior  Housing on  January  11,  2002,  and
revenues and expenses related to the five retirement communities we purchased on
April 1, 2002.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net revenues  from  patients and  residents  for the three months ended June 30,
2002,  were  $131.2  million,  an  increase  of 141% over net  revenues of $54.5
million for the 2001 second quarter. This increase is attributable  primarily to
our lease of 31 retirement  communities on January 11, 2002, and our purchase of
five  retirement  communities on April 1, 2002.  Revenues at the  communities we
operated  throughout  each of the  three-month  periods  ended June 30, 2002 and
2001,  were  $56.0 and $54.7  million  respectively,  an  increase  of 2%.  This
increase is due  primarily  to higher per diem  charges to  residents.  Interest
income  increased by $14,000 as a result of earnings on higher cash  balances in
the 2002  period.  About 39% of our  revenues in the three months ended June 30,
2002,  were received  from  Medicare and  Medicaid,  compared to 78% in the 2001
period.

Expenses  for the three  months ended June 30,  2002,  were $137.8  million,  an
increase of 149% over expenses of $55.3 million for the 2001 second quarter. Our
wages and benefits  costs  increased  from $39.3 million to $60.6 million or 54%
primarily due to expenses associated with the 31 retirement  communities managed
by Marriott,  which we began  leasing on January 11,  2002,  and our purchase of
five retirement  communities on April 1, 2002. Other operating  expenses,  which
include utilities,  housekeeping,  dietary, maintenance,  insurance and facility
level  administrative  costs,  rose from $10.7 million to $47.0 million or 338%,
again  primarily due to the inclusion in our results of the operations of the 31
retirement  communities managed by Marriott and the five retirement  communities
we acquired.  During 2001, Marriott did not manage any communities for us and we
were a subsidiary of Senior Housing that did not lease facilities.  As a result,
we did not incur management fees to Marriott or rent expense in 2001.  Operating
expenses  related to the  communities we operated for both  three-month  periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, were $54.1 million for the 2002 second quarter, an
increase  of 8% over  operating  expenses  of $50.1  million for the 2001 second
quarter.  This increase is principally the result of higher insurance  premiums,
an increase in reserves  for self funded  parts of our  insurance  programs  and
higher wage and benefit costs, which were only partially offset by a decrease in
expenses from our reduced use of higher cost, third party staffing.  Our general
and administrative  expenses decreased from $5.0 million to $4.2 million or 16%,
primarily due to non-recurring operational start up costs incurred in the second
quarter  of 2001,  which  were  only  partially  offset by the  increased  costs
associated with operating as a separate public company in 2002.

Our expenses in the second  quarter of 2002 included some large amounts which we
do not expect to recur on a regular basis. These expense arose as follows:

During June 2002,  when we  implemented  new  programs  for  liability,  workers
compensation  and employee  health  insurance,  we  re-evaluated  our  insurance
reserves and  increased  estimates for pending  claims by $3.2 million.  Reserve
estimates  arise  from  the  retention  or self  funded  part  of our  insurance
programs.  Reserve account  adjustments are made on the basis of periodic review
of pending  claims and  reported  incidents  which may result in claims with the
assistance of third party  professionals.  This $3.2 million  adjustment made in
June 2002 was  particularly  large and we do not expect similar size adjustments
to recur.  Our new  insurance  programs  are  expected  to  result in  recurring
increased costs of about $450,000 per month starting in July 2002.

A  recent  review  by  Marriott  of its  accounting  for  the 31  senior  living
communities  which it manages for us  resulted in a change in bad debt  reserves
and other one time charges totaling  approximately  $850,000.  These amounts are

                                       7

reflected in our  expenses  for the three months ended June 30, 2002.  We do not
expect similar size adjustments to recur on a regular basis.

We incurred asset impairment charges of $1,649,000 in the second quarter of 2002
related to the write down of two assets.  The largest component of these charges
related  to a  decline  in the  estimated  market  value of a closed  facility's
skilled  nursing  bed  licenses  which  are  currently  held for  sale.  A prior
agreement to sell these licenses did not close; and, based on a decline in their
estimated  market value, we reduced the carrying value of these licenses by $1.5
million.  The  remainder  of this  write  down  related  to a 3%  interest  in a
partnership  which we acquired as an incidental asset related to our lease of 31
senior living communities  managed by Marriott and which interest we now believe
is permanently impaired.

We also incurred a $112,000  restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2002.
This charge was a result of our reducing the number of our regional  offices and
employee  reductions  at our home  office.  These  costs  consist  of  severance
payments to terminated employees. We expect to incur a restructuring charge of a
similar  amount  in the  third  quarter  of 2002  for  staff  reductions  at our
facilities which were implemented in July 2002.

Discontinued operations relate to facilities in Arizona and Nebraska that closed
during the quarter ended June 30, 2002.  Loss from  discontinued  operations for
the three months ended June 30, 2002,  was $806,000,  an increase of $583,000 or
261%, over the 2001 period. The increased loss was caused by decreased occupancy
and increases in outside labor costs. We may close additional  facilities before
the end of 2002.

As a result of the factors  described above, net loss for the three months ended
June 30,  2002,  was $7.3  million,  an increase of $6.2  million  over the 2001
period.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net revenues from patients and residents for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
were $249.2 million, an increase of 126% over net revenues of $110.3 million for
the 2001  period.  This  increase is  attributable  primarily to our lease of 31
retirement  communities on January 11, 2002, and our purchase of five retirement
communities on April 1, 2002. Revenues at the communities we operated throughout
all of the six-month  periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,  were $111.2 million
and $108.2 million, respectively, an increase of 3%. This increase resulted from
higher resident  charges.  Interest income  increased by $137,000 as a result of
earnings on higher cash  balances in the 2002  period.  In the six months  ended
June 30,  2002,  about 40% of our  revenues  were from  Medicare  and  Medicaid,
compared to 78% in the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Expenses  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2002,  were  $259.1  million,  an
increase  of 131%  over the  expenses  of  $112.0  million  for the 2001  second
quarter.  Our wages and benefits  costs  increased  from $77.8 million to $115.5
million,  or 48%. Other operating  expenses including  utilities,  housekeeping,
dietary,  maintenance,  insurance and facility level administrative  costs, rose
from $23.7 million to $85.6 million or 261%.  These increases were primarily due
to  the  inclusion  in  our  results  of the  operations  of  the 31  retirement
communities  managed by Marriott which we began to lease on January 11, 2002 and
the five  retirement  communities  we  acquired on April 1, 2002.  During  2001,
Marriott  did not  manage any  communities  for us and we were a  subsidiary  of
Senior  Housing.  As a result,  we did not incur  management fees to Marriott or
rent expense in 2001.  Operating expenses related to the communities we operated
for both the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, were $104.8 million
for the 2002 period, an increase of 5% over operating  expenses of $99.4 million
for the  2001  period.  The  increase  is  principally  attributable  to  higher
insurance  premiums,  an  increase  in  reserves  for self  funded  parts of our
insurance  programs and higher wage and  benefits  costs,  which were  partially
offset by a decrease in expenses  from our  reduced  use of higher  cost,  third
party  staffing.  Our general and  administrative  expense  decreased  from $9.8
million to $7.7 million or 21%, primarily due to non-recurring operational start
up costs  incurred in the 2001 period  which were only  partially  offset by the
increased costs incurred  associated with operating as a separate public company
in 2002. During the 2002 period, we incurred  non-recurring  expenses related to
our merger with FSQ,  Inc. of $2.8 million in January 2002. We also incurred the
unusually large expenses,  the asset  impairment  charges and the  restructuring
charges in 2002, as discussed above.

Loss from  discontinued  operations  for the six months  ended June 30, 2002 was
$978,000, an increase of $803,000, or 459%, over the 2001 period. This increased
loss was  primarily  caused by declining  occupancies,  increased  use of higher
cost,  third  party  staffing,  higher  insurance  costs and higher  self funded
insurance reserve costs.

                                       8

As a result of the factors  described  above,  net loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2002, was $10.7 million, an increase of $8.8 million, or 463%, over the
2001 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At the time of our spin off from Senior  Housing on December  31,  2001,  we had
cash and cash  equivalents  of  $24.9  million.  In March  and  April  2002,  we
completed a public  offering of our common shares  raising net proceeds of $26.3
million. A significant amount of our cash was used to acquire five senior living
communities  for $45.5 million on April 1, 2002.  Additional  cash was generated
from and used in our operations and in other expansion  activities,  such as the
working  capital  required by our  assumption  of the lease for 31 senior living
communities  managed by Marriott on January 11, 2002.  At June 30, 2002,  we had
cash and equivalents of $5.0 million.

At June 30, 2002,  we had net working  capital,  or current  assets in excess of
current  liabilities,  of $24.3  million.  Our current  assets of $49.1  million
include $5.0  million of cash and cash  equivalents,  $27.4  million of accounts
receivable  most of  which  are due  from  governmental  Medicare  and  Medicaid
authorities,  $12.7  million  due from  Marriott  and $4.0  million  of  prepaid
expenses.

We currently  have no obligations  for funded debt. Our only material  financial
obligations  are our leases to Senior  Housing  and our  obligations  to provide
services to certain residents who have made advance payment deposits. Our Senior
Housing lease  obligations total $70 million/year,  or $5.8  million/month.  Our
residents'  deposits for future services totaled $11.6 million at June 30, 2002,
and these deposits are recognized as revenues when services are provided,  based
upon  estimates of the remaining  periods of the  residents'  expected  lives or
based upon actual occupancies.

None of our assets,  including  our $27.4  million of accounts  receivable,  are
encumbered  by debt.  In January  2002, we accepted a letter of intent for a $20
million  line of credit to be secured by our  accounts  receivables.  During the
process of documenting this line of credit, we determined not to enter this debt
arrangement for three reasons:

First,  we were unable to agree upon final terms,  particularly  certain changes
requested  by this lender  which we believed  were  different  from terms in the
letter of intent.

Second,  we have  determined to focus our  expansion  efforts upon senior living
communities  where  rents  and  services  are  paid by  residents  from  private
resources rather than by the Medicare and Medicaid  programs.  Payments from our
residents' private resources are generally received monthly in advance. Payments
from Medicaid and Medicare  programs are generally  received  monthly in arrears
and may be  delayed  for  extended  periods  because  of audit  requirements  or
governmental  funding delays.  Because our efforts are currently  focused toward
private pay revenues and away from  Medicare  and Medicaid  revenues,  we expect
that our accounts receivable will gradually decline both in total amounts and as
a percentage of our total assets. In these circumstances,  we decided that a $20
million line of credit which is secured by, and limited to a percentage  of, our
accounts  receivable was not required and not cost  effective.  Accordingly,  we
decided to reduce the amount of this line of credit.

Third, a new lender  offered us a line of credit secured by accounts  receivable
at a reduced cost. We have entered a non binding  letter of intent with this new
lender for a line of credit secured by our accounts receivable.  At this time we
expect  this line of credit to be for $12.5  million,  and that we will have the
ability to expand this credit facility in certain circumstances, but we will not
be required to pay up-front  costs or stand-by  fees for the  expanded  capacity
unless it is used.  This new financing  arrangement is subject to  documentation
and other conditions. We expect this new financing to close before September 30,
2002, but it may not close by that date or at all.

Our  primary  source  of cash to fund  operating  expenses,  including  rent and
routine capital expenditures,  is our revenues from services to residents at our
facilities.  Changes in laws and  regulations  which impact Medicare or Medicaid
rates,  on which some of our properties  rely, may materially  affect our future
results. Similarly, recent increases in the costs of insurance,  especially tort
liability  insurance,  workers compensation and employee health insurance costs,
which are  affecting the senior  living  industry  will have a material  adverse
impact upon our future results of operations.  Nonetheless,  we believe that our
revenues will be sufficient to allow us to meet our ongoing operating  expenses,
working  capital needs and rent payments to Senior Housing in the short term, or
next 12 months,  and long term,  whether or not we arrange  for a line of credit
secured by our receivables, as described above.

                                       9

Seasonality

Our business is subject to modest  effects of  seasonality.  During the calendar
fourth quarter holiday  periods  nursing home and assisted living  residents are
sometimes  discharged to join family  celebrations  and admission  decisions are
often deferred.  The first quarter of each calendar year usually  coincides with
increased  illness among nursing home and assisted  living  residents  which can
result in  increased  costs or  discharges  to  hospitals.  As a result of these
factors,  nursing home and assisted living operations  sometimes produce greater
earnings in the second and third quarters of a calendar year and lesser earnings
in the first and fourth  quarters.  We do not believe that this seasonality will
cause fluctuations in our revenues or operating cash flow to such an extent that
we will have  difficulty  paying  our  expenses,  including  rent,  which do not
fluctuate seasonally.



                                       10



Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have no  obligations  for  funded  debt and,  accordingly,  are not  directly
affected by changes in market interest rates.  However,  as discussed  above, we
expect to enter  into a $12.5  million  revolving  credit  facility  secured  by
certain of our  accounts  receivable.  We expect  that this loan  facility  will
require  interest on drawn  amounts at floating  rates based upon a spread above
LIBOR.  Whenever  borrowings are outstanding under such a credit facility we may
be exposed to market  changes in interest  rates,  especially  market changes in
short term LIBOR rates. For example,  if the full amount of a $12.5 million line
of credit  were drawn and  interest  rates rose by 1% per  annum,  our  interest
expense  would  increase  by  $125,000  per year,  or $0.015 per  common  share.
Depending upon our exposure to interest rate risks for floating rate obligations
outstanding from time to time in the future,  we may decide to purchase interest
rate caps or other hedging instruments.
