4.       Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share:

         Basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS are computed using the
         methods prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
         (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is calculated using
         income (loss) attributable to common shares (after deducting preferred
         dividends) divided by the weighted average number of common shares
         outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using income
         (loss) attributable to common shares (after deducting preferred
         dividends and considering the effects of dilutive common equivalent
         shares) divided by the weighted average number of common shares and
         dilutive common shares outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted
         earnings (loss) per common share includes a deduction of preferred
         stock dividends declared, which totaled $150,000 for each three month
         period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended
March 31, 1999

         Revenues. For the three month period ended March 31, 2000, revenues
totaled $15.5 million compared to $11.9 million in the three month period ended
March 31, 1999, an increase of $3.6 million or 30.2 percent. During the first
quarter of 2000, the Company operated 31 communities comprised of seven
stabilized communities, 17 newly developed communities, and seven communities
operated pursuant to management contracts, three of which are owned in joint
ventures and accounted for under the equity method. The Company operated 26
communities during the first quarter of 1999, comprised of five stabilized
communities, 18 newly developed communities, and three communities operated
pursuant to management contracts, of which one is owned in a joint venture and
accounted for under the equity method. A community is considered "stabilized"
for reporting purposes after it first attains occupancy of 95.0 percent and
prior to that time is considered "newly developed."

         During the three months ended March 31, 2000, rental and service
revenues from "Same Residences", the twenty-two communities that the Company
operated at the beginning of both periods, comprised of seven stabilized and
fifteen newly developed communities, increased by $3.1 million over the three
months ended March 31, 1999. Of this increase, $0.4 million was from the seven
stabilized communities and $2.7 million was from the fifteen newly developed
communities. Revenues from the remaining two newly developed communities in
operation during the first quarter of 2000 increased by $0.4 million compared to
revenue from the remaining one newly developed community in operation during the
first quarter of 1999. Overall average occupancy at the Company's seven
stabilized communities was 96.3 percent for the three month period ended March
31, 2000, whereas occupancy was 95.2 percent at the Company's five stabilized
communities for the same period in 1999.

         Residence Operating Expenses. Residence operating expenses were $10.3
million for the three month period ended March 31, 2000, and $8.6 million for
the same period in 1999, an increase of $1.7 million or 20.5 percent. Residence
operating expenses from the twenty-two Same Residences increased by $1.6 million
over the first quarter of 1999. Of this increase, $0.3 million was from the
seven stabilized communities and $1.6 million was from the fifteen newly
developed communities. Residence operating expenses for all other newly
developed communities for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 include
$0.4 million of start-up operating expenses and pre-opening costs, whereas such
expenses totaled $0.2 million in 1999. Residence operating expenses from Same
Residences totaled 66.7 percent and 70.6 percent of rental and service revenue
for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses were $1.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2000,
compared to $1.3 million


                                    Page 13
<PAGE>

for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. The increase of $0.2 million is
due primarily to the increase in operations related to the implementation of the
Company's plan for growth.

         Lease Expense. Lease expense for the Company's leased communities was
$3.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to $3.2
million for the same period in 1999. The increase of $0.2 million relates
primarily to the opening and sale-leaseback of three newly developed communities
offset by the acquisition of a previously leased community.

         Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
was $0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to
$0.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1999.

         Interest Income. Interest income is earned from the Company's
investment of cash and cash equivalents in high quality, short-term securities
placed with institutions with high credit ratings.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the three month period
ended March 31, 2000, to $0.9 million from $0.5 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 1999. Interest expense related to the operation of
communities increased $0.1 million in the current period as compared to the same
period in the prior year. The Company capitalized a nominal amount of interest
charges during the three months ended March 31, 2000, whereas the Company
capitalized $0.3 million of interest charges during the three months ended March
31, 1999.

         Equity in Losses of Joint Ventures. Equity in losses of joint ventures
resulted from the operations of the Company's 50 percent owned Kenmore,
Washington community; the 10 percent owned Kent, Washington community; and the
40 percent owned Corvallis, Oregon community.

         Net Income (Loss). Net operating results increased by $1.1 million
during the three month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to the same period
in 1999. The Company reported a loss of $0.9 million for the first quarter of
2000, whereas the Company reported a loss of $2.0 million for the first quarter
of 1999. The increase in net results is primarily due to an increase in
residence operating profits (rental and service revenue less residence operating
expenses) of $1.7 million, offset by increases in general and administrative
expenses, lease expense, depreciation, interest expense and equity in losses of
joint venture, all as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At March 31, 2000, the Company had $0.5 million of working capital,
compared to working capital of $1.4 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease
relates primarily to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million (as
described below).

         Net cash used in operating activities totaled $0.6 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000, resulting primarily from a net loss of
$0.9 million, adjusted $0.3 million for non-cash items (depreciation,
amortization, equity interest in joint ventures and minority interests) offset
by the release of $0.2 million of cash held in working capital escrow, and an
increase in net current assets of $0.2 million.

         Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.1 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000, consisting primarily of development and
construction costs.

         Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $0.9 million during
the three month period ended March 31, 2000, consisting of property and
equipment financing proceeds totaling $1.1 million, and proceeds of $0.1 million
from a sale-manageback arrangement with the Company's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, offset by repayment of long-term debt of $0.1 million and an
increase in restricted cash for financing arrangements of $0.2 million.

         During January 2000, the Company obtained an $8.8 million loan, the
proceeds of which will be used to construct and fund initial operations at the
Company's 113-bed South Ogden, Utah community. As of March 31, 2000, the Company
has drawn down approximately $900,000 on this loan.

         Also during January 2000, the Company entered into a joint venture
arrangement with an independent third party for the purpose of developing a
116-bed assisted living community in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company's initial
capital contribution for its 50 percent joint venture interest totaled $1.1
million, comprised of $600,000 of incurred development costs and a $500,000
development fee. The joint venture partner contributed $1.1 million in cash,
which was utilized to acquire the land for the project.

         During the remainder of 2000, the Company intends to utilize current
working capital resources primarily for operating requirements. At March 31,
2000, the Company has capitalized costs totaling approximately $6.8 million
related to communities under construction or development, encumbered by $2.7
million in outstanding debt. The Company intends to finance substantially all of
the remaining cost of developing each new community through joint venture
arrangements, as well as conventional financing with commercial banks and other
financial institutions.

         In addition to the Company's Corvallis community that commenced
operations in March 2000, the Company anticipates completing construction of the
Mesa community in 2000. The Company has entered into a sale-leaseback
arrangement with a REIT for this community and anticipates operations will
commence during the third quarter of 2000. The Company has two additional
communities under construction that are anticipated to commence operations in
2001. The Company has obtained financing necessary to


                                    Page 15
<PAGE>

complete these communities. Additionally, the Company has entered into a
long-term lease for the West Covina assisted living community being constructed
by an unrelated third party and expects to commence operation of this community
during the fourth quarter of 2000.

         The Company anticipates capital expenditures for 2000 will include
additional architectural fees and other development costs related to at least
four assisted living communities and construction costs related to at least
three new assisted living communities. During 2000, the Company anticipates
commencing construction on the four communities currently under development. The
total cost to develop and construct these four communities, including the
estimated initial operating deficits, will likely be between $31.0 million to
$35.0 million. A substantial portion of these costs may be incurred during 2000.

         The Company is currently discussing with commercial banks and other
financing sources the terms of potential financing with which the Company will
construct new communities currently under development. 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. Provided that the Company can obtain financing upon
acceptable terms, the Company estimates that it has the necessary equity capital
invested in one of these four communities in order to complete construction and
to fund the initial operating deficits. Additional equity capital will be
required prior to commencing construction on the remaining three communities.

         To finance additional growth, the Company may enter into additional
arrangements with one or more unrelated parties regarding the joint development
and ownership of one or more of the Company's communities currently under
construction or development. Furthermore, the Company may utilize various forms
of financing that would permit a community to be sold to or initially developed
by a third party who would incur the initial operating deficits and permit the
Company to manage the community for a customary fee. The Company, under such
financing methods, would likely have the option to either purchase the community
or enter into a long-term lease at such time as the Company deems appropriate.
The Company has not obtained any commitments for this form of financing.

         If the Company is unable to obtain additional required financing, or if
such financing is not available on acceptable terms, the Company expects that
its plan to commence construction of up to four additional communities by the
end of 2000 would likely be delayed or curtailed. Furthermore, if the Company
expands its growth plan, development activities do not result in the
construction of a community on a site, the Company experiences a decline in the
operations of its current communities or the Company does not achieve and
sustain anticipated occupancy levels at its new


                                    Page 16

communities, then the Company may require additional financing to complete its
growth plan.

         Certain operating lease agreements contain restrictive covenants. As of
March 31, 2000, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of all lease
agreements except for two covenants relating to the Company's Willow Creek
assisted living community in Folsom, California and Regent Court community in
Scottsdale, Arizona. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of this matter
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.

         The Company does not presently intend to pay dividends to holders of
its Common Stock and intends to retain future earnings to finance the
development of assisted living communities and expand its business.


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 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 manage this growth successfully.

Item 3.       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


         The Company's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates as a
result of its variable rate indebtedness. The Company manages this risk by
obtaining fixed rate borrowings when possible. At March 31, 2000, the Company's
variable rate borrowings totaled $11.8 million. If market interest rates average
one percent more in 2000 than in 1999, the Company's interest expense would
increase and income before taxes would decrease by $118,000. These amounts are
determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate on the
Company's outstanding variable rate borrowings as of March 31, 2000, and does
not consider changes in the actual level of borrowings which may occur
subsequent to March 31, 2000. This analysis also does not consider the effects
of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an
environment nor does it consider likely actions that management could take with
respect to the Company's financial structure to mitigate the exposure to such a
change.
