MOORESVILLE MERIDIAN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP and SPENCER MERIDIAN LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP, the seven limited partnerships (collectively, the "Seller") that
each own a single skilled nursing center and in each of which MERIDIAN
HEALTHCARE GROWTH AND INCOME FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Fund") owns a 98.99%
limited partner interest entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") for the sale of all or substantially all of its real and non-real
property assets. FC PROPERTIES VI, LLC, its assigns or designees (the
"Purchaser), a Delaware limited liability company, agreed to acquire the real
and non-real property assets and assume certain specified contractual
obligations of the Seller for the purchase price of $50 million, subject to
further adjustment, plus the payment of the Net Working Capital balance of the
Seller computed in accordance with the Agreement. At the closing the Seller will
be required to deposit $500,000 of the purchase price in an escrow account to be
used to secure the payment by the Seller of certain post closing adjustments and
indemnification obligations, if necessary, for a period not to exceed one year.
The holders of the Fund's units will retain the right to receive any monies that
remain in the escrow account at the end of the one-year escrow period.

The Purchaser has a 45-day due diligence period commencing on the effective date
of the Agreement. Additionally, the sale is contingent on the Fund obtaining the
consent of the holders of a majority of the Fund's units to the sale under the
terms of the Agreement. It is expected that the closing of this sale, pending
due diligence issues and investor consent, will occur in the second quarter of
2005.
