GOLD, LLC; MPF ACQUISITION CO 3, LLC; MACKENZIE PATTERSON FULLER, INC.; AND
EVEREST INVESTORS 12, LLC (collectively the "Purchasers") to purchase up to
1,540,000 Units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") in Meridian
Healthcare Growth & Income Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership"), the subject company,
at a purchase price equal to $23 per Unit, less the amount of any distributions
declared or made with respect to the Units between July 22, 2005 (the "Offer
Date") and August 19, 2005 or such other date to which this Offer may be
extended (the "Expiration Date"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 22, 2005 (the "Offer to Purchase")
and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached hereto as
Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively. As noted above, the Offer price would
be subject to reduction for distributions made or declared prior to the
Expiration Date. Any distributions made or declared after the Expiration Date,
by the terms of the Offer and as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, would
be assigned by tendering Unit holders to the Purchasers.

         In the event of a price reduction resulting from a Partnership
distribution declared or made after the Offer Date and before the Expiration
Date, as described above, the Purchasers will file an amendment to this Schedule
TO reflecting such reduction and will, to the extent necessary, extend the
Expiration Date to assure there is a minimum ten business day period following
the amendment before the Offer expires.

         Tender of Units will include the tender of any and all securities into
which the Units may be converted and any securities distributed with respect to
the Units from and after the Offer Date.

         The Partnership had 1,614 holders of record owning an aggregate of
1,540,000 Units as of December 31, 2004, according to its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. The Purchasers and their
affiliates currently beneficially own 134,889 Units, or 8.76% of the outstanding
Units. The 1,540,000 Units subject to the Offer constitute 100% of the
outstanding Units. Consummation of the Offer, if all Units sought are tendered,
would require payment by the Purchasers of up to $32,317,553.00 in aggregate
purchase price (exclusive of Units already owned), which the Purchasers intend
to fund out of their current working capital; provided that Everest Investors
12, LLC expects to obtain its funds by means of equity capital contributions
from its members at the time the Units tendered pursuant to the Offer are
accepted for payment. Such members will fund their capital contributions through
existing cash and other financial assets which in the aggregate are sufficient
to provide the funds required in connection with the Offer without any
borrowings. Such members have irrevocably agreed and are obligated to make such
capital contributions available to the Purchaser on demand.

         The address of the Partnership's principal executive offices is 300
East Lombard Street, Suite 1200, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, and its phone number
is (410) 727-4083.
