               ALTERNATIVE LIVING SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1995 and
June 30, 1996, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1995
and 1996 contained herein include the accounts of Alternative Living Services,
Inc. (the "Company") and its affiliates which are under the common financial
control of the Company.  All significant intercompany accounts have been
eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of
such financial statements have been included.  The results of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

         In August 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
its common stock pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, common stock issued and options granted, at per share amounts less
than the initial public offering (IPO) price, within one year prior to the
Company's filing of a registration statement relating to its initial public
offering of equity securities, are deemed outstanding for all prior year
periods.  Accordingly, weighted average shares outstanding for the six and
three months ended June 30, 1995 were increased by 1,146,928 shares for the
effect of such common stock and stock options.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  Reference is made to the Company's audited
financial statements and the related notes as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and
for each of the years then ended included in the Company's registration
statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the SEC on August 5, 1996, which
provide additional disclosures and further description of accounting policies.

(2)      ACQUISITIONS AND SALE/LEASEBACKS

         The Company acquired Heartland Retirement Services, Inc. ("Heartland")
on January 26, 1996 for $5,500,000 cash plus 261,424 shares of the Company's
common stock.  The acquisition was effective as of January 1, 1996, was
financed by a bridge loan of approximately $8,700,000 obtained from a firm
whose president is a director of the Company.  As of January 1, 1996, Heartland
operated 20 assisted living residences with 15 to 20 units each.  This
transaction has been accounted for as a purchase.

         The Company sold two assisted living residences for approximately
$7,058,000 on January 22, 1996 and leased them back under a ten-year sale and
lease-back agreement.  The transaction produced a gain of approximately
$1,083,000 which was deferred and is being amortized over the lease term.

         On May 24, 1996, the Company acquired New Crossings International
Corporation ("Crossings"), a company operating 15 assisted living facilities
throughout the western United States.  The total purchase consideration was
2,007,049 shares of the Company's common stock.  This transaction has been
accounted for as a purchase.

         A non-recurring charge of $977,000 was recorded in June, 1996 related
to the acquisitions of Crossings and Heartland.  The charge relates to costs
associated with the physical downsizing of the Crossings corporate office and
employee separation costs at Crossings and Heartland.

         On May 24, 1996, the Company acquired the limited partnership
interests in five Michigan limited partnerships not already owned by it, for
aggregate consideration of 115,024 shares of redeemable common stock of the
Company and promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,900,000.
These promissory notes are due and payable on January 31, 1997 and bear 



                                       6
<PAGE>   7


interest at the rate of 8% per annum.  Also on May 24, 1996, the
Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of the corporate general partner
of these five limited partnerships pursuant to a merger transaction
whereby the shareholders of the five Michigan limited partnerships other than
the Company, received, in exchange for their shares, $300,000 in cash and
57,512 shares of redeemable common stock.  Contemporaneously with the merger,
the Company refunded certain advances made to the limited partnerships by a
cash payment of $700,000 and delivery of a promissory note in the amount of
$1.4 million.  This promissory note is due and payable on September 21, 1996
and bears interest at the rate of 9% per annum (the "General Partner Note").
These transactions have been accounted for as a purchase.

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information combines the results of operations as if the acquisitions of
Heartland, Crossings and the five Michigan limited partnerships had been 
consummated as of January 1, 1995 and is not necessarily indicative of the
actual results that would have been achieved if these transactions had actually
been completed as of the date indicated, or which may be realized in the
future.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements of
the Company and the related notes.

(3)      STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

         On May 17, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized and the
stockholders approved the filing of a Restated Certificate of Incorporation
that provides for (a) the authorization of 5 million shares of preferred stock,
$0.01 par value, the terms of which may be determined by the Board of Directors
from time to time, (b) the authorization of 30 million shares of common stock,
$0.01 par value, and (C)  a 1,812.55 for 1 stock split of its common stock.
Accordingly, the stock split and the changes in preferred and common stock have
been given retroactive effect in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements.

(4)      NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of.  The effect of adopting Statement 121 was not material to the
Company's financial statements.

          Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted FASB Statement No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which provides an alternative to
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for
stock-based compensation issued to employees.  In accordance with Statement No.
123 the Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation
arrangements under APB Opinion No. 25.

However, the Company will begin to disclose the pro forma effect on net income
and earnings per share of the fair value-based accounting for those
arrangements, as required by Statement 123, beginning with its 1996 annual
report.

(5)      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In August, 1996, the Company completed an IPO of 6,000,000 shares of
common stock.  Of these, 3,443,206 shares of the stock were sold by the Company
and 2,556,794 were sold by existing stockholders.  After deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and offering expenses the net proceeds to the Company
were approximately $40 million.

         On August 9, 1996, the Company acquired the 40% partnership interests
not already owned by it in three partnerships for an aggregate purchase price
of $3.2 million.  This transaction has been accounted for as a purchase.

         On August 9, 1996, the Company repaid the remainder due of the $1.4
million General Partner Note.

         As of September 11, 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture
relationship with Pioneer Development Company ("Pioneer") to develop, own and
operate assisted living residences in target market areas throughout New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.  The Company and Pioneer will own
and fund a 51% and 49% equity interest, respectively, in these ventures.

$8.7 million plus accrued interest for bridge financing related to the
Heartland acquisition.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         As of  September 18, the Company operated 62 assisted living
residences with an aggregate capacity of approximately 2,630 residents.  The
Company's growth since 1993 has had a significant impact on the Company's
results of operations and accounts for most of the changes in results between
the first six months of 1995 and 1996.  As of June 30, 1995 and 1996, the
Company operated 16 and 57 residences, respectively.

         Since its organization in December 1993, the Company has achieved
significant growth in operating revenue resulting from its aggressive
development program and several strategic acquisitions.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, the Company generated operating revenues of $4.7
million and $12.1 million, respectively.

         The Company intends to continue to pursue its growth strategy by
developing and constructing additional assisted living residences, and, as
appropriate opportunities arise, acquiring assisted living operations.  The
Company has 18 facilities under construction, and 35 under development in
thirteen states.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1996

         Operating Revenue. Operating revenues for the three months ended June
30, 1996 were $7.8 million representing an increase of $5.1 million, or 192%,
from the $2.7 million for the comparable 1995 period.  Substantially all of
this increase resulted from new residence acquisitions and new construction.
The Company operated 16 and 57 residences in the three month periods ended June
30, 1995 and 1996, respectively with 15 of the residences in the three month
period ended June 30, 1996 being added in late May from the Crossings
acquisition.

         Residence Operations.  Residence operating expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 increased to $4.7 milllion from $1.7 million in the
three month period ended June 30, 1995 due to the increased number of
residences operated during the 1996 period.  As a percentage of total operating
revenue, residence operating expenses decreased to 60.9% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 from 65.2% for the comparable period in 1995.

         Lease Expense.  Lease expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996
was $1.4 million, compared to $221,000 in the comparable period in 1995.  The
increase is primarily attributable to the sale/leaseback of two Florida
residences in January 1996 and the addition of 15 Crossings residences in late
May, 1996, the substantial majority of which are financed under sale/leaseback
arrangements.

         General and Administrative Expense.  General and administrative
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $1.7 million, compared
to $555,000 for the comparable 1995 period.  The increase in expenses was
primarily attributable to salaries, related payroll taxes and employee benefits
relating to additional corporate personnel retained to support the Company's
actual and anticipated growth strategy.  The Company expects that its general
and administrative expenses will decrease as a percentage of operating revenue
as the Company grows and achieves certain economies of scale.

         Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 was $575,000, representing an increase of
$374,000 or 185% from $201,000 for the comparable period in 1995.  This
increase resulted primarily from the addition of the Heartland residences, the
acquisition of 100% of the Michigan partnerships, the acquisition of one
residence in April 1995, and a new residence that opened during 1996.

         Non-recurring Charge.  The $977,000 non-recurring charge relates to
the downsizing of the Crossings corporate office and separation benefits
related to the Heartland and Crossings acquisitions.

         Interest Expense, Net.  Interest expense, net for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 was $934,000, representing an increase of $728,000, or 353%
from $206,000 for the comparable period in 1995.  This increase resulted
primarily due to the incurrence of indebtedness in the amount of $4.2 million
related to the acquisition of one residence in April 1995, and the bridge
financings associated with the Heartland acquisition of $8.7 million, and
additional financing for residences under construction of approximately $18
million.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

         Operating Revenue. Operating revenues for the six months ended June
30, 1996 were $12.1 million representing an increase of $7.4 million or 155%
from $4.7 million for the same period in 1995.  Substantially all of this
increase resulted from new residence acquisitions and new construction.  The
Company operated 16 and 57 residences in the six month periods ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively with 15 of the residences in the period ended June
30, 1996 being added in late May from the Crossings acquisition.

         Residence Operations.  Residence operating expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 increased to $8 million from $3.1 million for the same
period in 1995 due to the increased number of residences operated during the
1996 period.

         Lease Expense.  Lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996
was $1.9 million, representing an increase of $1.5 million, or 341% from
$434,000 for the same period in 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable



                                       10


<PAGE>   11


to the two Florida residence sale/leasebacks in January 1996 and the addition
of 15 Crossings residences in late May, 1996, the substantial majority of which
are financed under sale/leaseback arrangements.

         General and Administrative Expense.  General and administrative
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $3.3 million, compared to
$1.1 million for the comparable period in 1995.  The increase in expenses was
primarily attributable to salaries, related payroll taxes and employee benefits
relating to additional corporate personnel retained to support the Company's
actual and anticipated growth strategy.  The Company expects that its general
and administrative expenses will decrease as a percentage of operating revenue
as the Company grows and achieves certain economies of scale.

         Depreciation and Amortization Expense.  Depreciation and amortization
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $940,000, representing an increase
of $606,000, or 181% from $334,000 for the comparable 1995 period.  The
increase resulted primarily from the addition of the Heartland residences, the
acquisition of the Michigan partnerships, the acquisition of one residence in 
April 1995, and a new residence that opened in 1996.

         Interest Expense Net.  Interest expense, net for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 was $1.3 million representing an increase of $1 million or 243%
from $386,000 for the same period 1995.  The increased interest expense was
primarily the result of a full six months of interest expense associated with
indebtedness in the amount of $4.2 million related to the acquisition of one
residence in April 1995 and the bridge financing associated with the Heartland
acquisition of $8.7 million and additional financing for residences under
construction of approximately $18 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 cash flow from
operations was $(288,000) and $(40,000), respectively.  During the six month
period ended June 30, 1996, the Company obtained approximately $22 million of
financing.  The private placement of common stock raised $2.2 million; $7.0
million was received from the sale/leaseback of two residences; and $8.7
million was obtained as bridge financing for the Heartland acquisition and
other working capital needs.  The Company also incurrred approximately $4.3
million of additional indebtedness related to the purchase of partnership
interests in five Michigan partnerships.  The Company purchased additional
property and equipment of $15.7 million.  As a result the Company increased its
cash position by approximately $3.0 million.  During the six months ended June
30, 1995, the Company increased its cash position by approximately $8.8
million.  The increase was primarily due to the private placement of $17.5
million of common stock offset by the purchase of property and equipment for
development of residences of $6.2 million.  At June 30, 1996 the Company had a
working capital deficit of approximately $9.8 million primarily due to short
term construction loans for certain of its Michigan residences.   The Company
expects to refinance these loans with sale/leaseback or conventional financing.
Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $1.2 million.

         The Company has historically financed its development program and
acquisitions through a combination of various forms of real estate financing,
capital contributions from joint venture partners and private placements of
equity.  In August, the Company completed an IPO of common stock that provided
$40 million of net proceeds.  Approximately $15 million of these proceeds have
been or will be used to repay existing debt with the majority of the remaining
proceeds being used to finance the development and construction of new
residences and for general working capital.  The Company expects that the cash
on hand, the net proceeds of the IPO and additional construction/leaseback
financing will be sufficient to fund its development and construction program,
as well as the anticipated operating losses, therefrom, for at least the next
18 months.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not be
required to seek additional capital earlier or that sale/leaseback financing
will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.  In addition, the Company
may require additional financing to enable it to acquire additional residences,
to respond to changing economic conditions, to effect further expansion of the
Company's development program or to account for changes in assumptions related
to its development program.

         The Company expects negative cash flow to continue for at least the
next 12 to 18 months as it continues to develop and construct assisted living
residences.  The Company's future success will depend on its ability to fund
its growth strategy.  The Company will seek, from time to time, additional
funding through public or private financing,



                                       11
<PAGE>   12


including equity or debt financing.  There can be no assurances that such
financing will be available to the Company as needed or on terms acceptable to
the Company.

         On January 22, 1996 the Company sold two assisted living residences
for approximately $7,058,000 and leased them back under a ten-year sale and
lease-back agreement.  The transaction produced a gain of approximately
$1,083,000 which was deferred and is being amortized over the lease period.

         On January 26, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Heartland for a total consideration of approximately $5.5
million and the issuance of 261,424 shares of common stock.  In connection with
the Heartland acquisition, the Company borrowed approximately $8.7 million as
bridge financing.  This loan was repaid on September 13, 1996.

         On May 24, 1996, the Company acquired Crossings for 2,007,049 shares of
common stock.

         On May 24, 1996, the Company acquired the limited partnership interests
not already owned by it in 5 Michigan limited partnerships for aggregate
consideration of 115,024 shares of common stock and promissory notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $2.9 million.  These promissory notes are due and
payable on January 31, 1997 and bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum.  The
Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of the corporate general partner
of these five limited partnerships pursuant to a merger transaction whereby the
shareholders of the five Michigan limited partnerships, other than the Company
received, in exchange for their shares, $300,000 in cash and 57,512 shares of
the common stock. Contemporaneously with the merger, the Company refunded
advances made to the limited partnerships by a cash payment of $700,000 and
delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $1.4 million which was fully
repaid on August 9, 1996.

         In July, 1996, the Company borrowed $8.5 million, $3.5 million of
which was used to refinance existing indebtedness and the remainder to be used
for working capital purposes.  This loan which was obtained from a REIT with
which the Company has a non-binding letter of intent relating to additional
financing commitments is due and payable on October 1, 1996 and bears interest
at a rate of 10% per annum.  The Company intends to refinance the entire
principal amount at time of maturity.  If, however, the Company is unable to
refinance this loan on acceptable terms, then the Company expects to use a
portion of the net proceeds from its initial public offering to repay the loan.

         On August 9, 1996 the Company acquired the 40% partnership interests
not already owned by it in three partnerships, for an aggregate purchase price
of $3,150,000.

         On September 13, 1996 the Company acquired a residence it managed and
had a 0.5% equity interest in for $800,000.
