                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
   
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and the financial statements, including the notes thereto,
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Except as otherwise indicated, the
information contained in this Prospectus assumes (i) the consummation at the
completion of the Offering of the transactions described herein resulting in
the formation of the Company, including, but not limited to, the contribution
to the Company of the Hallmark facility and the operations relating to the
Original Facilities (as defined herein), the acquisition of the Acquired
Facilities (as defined herein), the net lease by the Company of the Leased
Facilities (as defined herein) and the purchase by the Company of the Preferred
Stock (as defined herein) (collectively, the "Formation") and (ii) the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised. Unless the context
requires otherwise, all references to the "Company" or "Brookdale" in this
Prospectus mean the Company, its predecessors and those entities owned or
controlled by the Company as though the Formation had occurred. See "Risk
Factors--Conflicts of Interest," "--Lack of Arms Length Negotiations" and""--
Uncertainty of Proposed Acquisitions by NPC," "The Company and the Formation"
and "Certain Transactions."     
   
  Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. ("Brookdale" or the "Company") provides
senior and assisted living services to the elderly through its facilities
located in urban and suburban areas of major metropolitan markets. The Company
operates nine senior and assisted living facilities containing a total of 1,968
units which, as of September 30, 1996, were approximately 99% occupied. The
Company owns three of such facilities, leases four facilities under long-term
net operating leases and manages two other facilities pursuant to management
contracts. With facilities that contain an average of 220 units, the Company
believes Brookdale is able to achieve economies of scale within its facilities
and provide senior and assisted living services in a more cost-effective
manner. The Company plans to acquire or lease approximately three to five
facilities per year containing an aggregate of approximately 800 to 1,000
units, and to commence development of at least three new facilities per year
containing approximately 200 units each. The Company had pro forma revenues and
net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $28.7 million and
$1.4 million, respectively. All of the Company's revenues are derived from
private pay sources.     
 
  Brookdale's facilities are designed for middle to upper income residents who
desire an upscale residential environment providing the highest level of
quality, care and value. Brookdale's objective is to allow its residents to age
in place by providing them with a continuum of senior and assisted living
services. By providing residents a range of service options as their needs
change, the Company seeks to achieve a greater continuity of care, thereby
enabling seniors to maintain their residency for a longer time period. The
ability to allow residents to age in place is beneficial to Brookdale's
residents as well as their families who are burdened with care option decisions
for their elderly relatives. In addition to studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom
units, the Company provides all residents with basic services, such as meal
service, 24-hour emergency response, housekeeping, concierge services,
transportation and recreational activities. For residents who require
additional supplemental care services, the Company provides assistance with
certain activities of daily living. The average age of Brookdale's residents is
approximately 82 years old, and many of these residents require some level of
assistance with activities of daily living. Supplemental care services are
provided either by the Company or by outside services or agencies. It is the
Company's intention to bring "in-house" as many of these services as
practicable.
   
  The Company's operating philosophy is to provide the highest quality of
personalized care for its residents in order to enhance their physical and
mental well-being. A key element of this philosophy is to establish
affiliations between Brookdale's facilities and local hospitals. Each of the
Hallmark facility in Chicago, Illinois, the Heritage facility in Des Plaines,
Illinois and the Devonshire facility in Lisle, Illinois (collectively, the
"Original Facilities"), have affiliations with local hospitals. In addition,
the Company is arranging hospital affiliations for the Acquired Facilities and
the Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities and intends to arrange such
affiliations for facilities that it acquires, develops or leases in the future.
Hospital affiliations provide for on-site physician and nursing services, and
facilitate the provision of health care services and wellness programs to the
Company's residents.     
 
                                       3

  The Company believes that the senior and assisted living industry is emerging
as a preferred alternative to meet the growing demand for a cost-effective
residential setting in which to care for the elderly who cannot or choose not
to live independently due to physical or cognitive frailties and who may
require assistance with some of the activities of daily living or the
availability of nursing or other medical care. In general, senior and assisted
living consists of a combination of housing and the availability of 24-hour a
day personal support services and assistance with certain activities of daily
living. The Company believes that factors contributing to the growth of the
senior and assisted living industry include: (i) the aging of the U.S.
population; (ii) consumer preference for greater independence in a residential
setting as compared to institutional settings, such as skilled nursing
facilities; (iii) its cost effectiveness compared to skilled nursing care and
home health care; and (iv) the decreasing ability of relatives to provide care
for the elderly in the home. According to industry analysts, annual revenues in
the senior and assisted living industry are estimated to have been
approximately $10 to $12 billion in 1995 and are expected to grow significantly
over the next several years. The senior and assisted living industry remains
highly fragmented, with only 5% of the industry's units operated by the 20
largest companies in the industry, which provides substantial opportunities for
industry consolidation.     
   
  The Company's business and growth strategy is based on the following key
elements: (i) acquiring and leasing senior and assisted living facilities in
major metropolitan markets; (ii) leveraging its development expertise to
construct its prototype facility in major metropolitan markets; (iii) providing
access to a full continuum of senior and assisted living services to residents
of its facilities; (iv) utilizing sophisticated marketing programs to maintain
high occupancy rates; and (v) utilizing its operational expertise to enhance
the services provided and improve the profitability of its existing and future
facilities. As part of its acquisition strategy, the Company expects to enter
into a $50 million secured revolving line of credit (the "Acquisition Line").
    
  Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in September
1996 to continue and expand the business and operations of the senior and
assisted living division of The Prime Group, Inc. and its affiliates
(collectively, "PGI"). Since 1981, PGI has been engaged in the ownership,
development, acquisition and operation of over 20 million square feet of income
producing properties and, since 1985, has been active in development,
construction, marketing and operation of senior and assisted living facilities
for the elderly. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 77
West Wacker Drive, Suite 3900, Chicago, Illinois 60601, and its telephone
number is (312) 456-0239.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  Prospective investors should carefully consider the factors set forth below,
as well as the other information contained in this Prospectus, in evaluating
an investment in the Common Stock offered hereby.
 
RECENT ORGANIZATION; RECENT NET LOSSES
   
  The Company was recently organized in September 1996 to own, operate,
acquire and develop senior and assisted living facilities. The Original
Facilities and operations relating thereto were formerly owned and operated by
PGI. Upon completion of the Offering, PGI will contribute the Hallmark
facility and the operations relating to the Original Facilities to the Company
and the Company will acquire from third parties the Springs of East Mesa and
the Gables at Brighton facilities (collectively, the "Acquired Facilities")
and will net lease the Devonshire and the Heritage facilities from National
Property Company, Inc. ("NPC"). As soon as practicable following the
completion of the Offering and upon receipt of the necessary approvals, the
Company intends to lease the Hawthorn Lakes and the Edina Park Plaza
facilities from NPC (the Devonshire, Heritage, Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park
Plaza facilities are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Leased
Facilities"). The Original Facilities incurred a loss before minority interest
and extraordinary items of approximately $1.4 million in 1995, compared to
losses before minority interest of approximately $3.4 million and $2.1 million
in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Original Facilities had income before
minority interest of approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to a loss before minority interest of
approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. On a
pro forma basis, after giving effect to the acquisition of the Acquired
Facilities and the Company entering into the net leases for the Leased
Facilities and the management contracts for the managed facilities, the
Company would have had net income before minority interest in 1995 and net
income before minority interest for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
of approximately $0.6 million and $1.4 million (after pro forma income taxes),
respectively. There can be no assurance that the Company's operations will be
profitable in the future. The inability to achieve profitability at a newly
acquired, developed or leased facility on a timely basis could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations and the market price of the Common Stock. See "--Uncertainty of
Proposed Acquisitions by NPC," "The Company and the Formation," "Selected
Financial Data" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."     
          
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST     
       
       
          
  Michael W. Reschke is Chairman of the Board and a director of each of PGI,
the Company and NPC, and also owns a substantial equity interest in PGI. In
addition, PGI, which will beneficially own approximately 38.8% of the
outstanding Common Stock after completion of the Offering (35.8% if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), will also
beneficially own 100% of NPC's outstanding common stock following the
completion of the Offering. Because of Mr. Reschke's positions with the
Company, NPC and PGI and his ownership interest in PGI, there are inherent
conflicts of interest between the Company and NPC in the leasing of the Leased
Facilities to the Company, in the acquisition of the Preferred Stock by the
Company from NPC and in any future transactions between the Company and NPC.
Accordingly, the interests of the stockholders of the Company may not have
been, and in the future may not be, reflected fully in all decisions made or
actions taken by the officers and directors of the Company. The Board of
Directors of the Company has adopted a policy that all future transactions
between the Company and NPC or between the Company and its officers,
directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates, will be subject to
approval of a majority of the independent and disinterested outside directors.
See "The Company and the Formation," "Management," "Principal Stockholders"
and "Certain Transactions."     
   
  The primary business of NPC is the acquisition and ownership of senior and
assisted living facilities and other real estate properties and the net lease
of such properties to qualified users and operators, including the Company. As
a result of the Company's and NPC's business interests and the relationships
described above, there are inherent conflicts of interest between the Company
and NPC with respect to corporate opportunities for future acquisitions or
leases of senior and assisted living facilities. The Company and NPC have
agreed that     
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
   
the Company shall have the right to acquire or lease any senior and assisted
living facilities that NPC identifies as an acquisition or lease opportunity
unless a third party then owns or has a contract to acquire or lease such
facility and will (i) lease such facility from NPC, or obtain financing from
NPC to acquire such facility, and (ii) manage such facility. Although the
Company has a right to acquire or lease properties identified by NPC, if the
Company elects not to exercise such right or is unable to do so, NPC could
acquire facilities which compete directly with the Company's facilities. See
"Certain Transactions."     
   
LACK OF ARM'S LENGTH NEGOTIATIONS     
   
  The terms of the transactions among PGI, the Company and NPC that comprise a
portion of the Formation, including, without limitation, the contribution of
the Hallmark facility and the operations relating to the Original Facilities
to the Company, the Company's lease of the Leased Facilities from NPC and the
purchase by the Company of NPC's Preferred Stock, were not determined by arm's
length negotiations. No independent third-party appraisals of the Original
Facilities or the operations relating to the Original Facilities were obtained
on behalf of the Company. For example, lease payments to NPC for the Leased
Facilities reflect a return on investment based on certain assumed equity
values for PGI's interest in the Devonshire and Heritage facilities.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the terms of these arrangements,
including, but not limited to, the number of shares of Common Stock and cash
received by PGI in exchange for its interests in the Hallmark facility and
operations relating to the Original Facilities, the terms of the leases for
the Leased Facilities or the purchase price of the Preferred Stock, are as
favorable to the Company as those the Company would have obtained from
unaffiliated third parties. See "--Conflicts of Interest," "The Company and
the Formation" and "Certain Transactions."     
   
UNCERTAINTY OF PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS BY NPC     
   
  The net lease of two of the facilities (the Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park
Plaza facilities) is subject to the acquisition of such facilities by NPC. The
closings of NPC's purchase of the Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza
facilities are subject to certain customary conditions, including conditions
regarding limited partner consents. In addition, the purchase of such
facilities by NPC and the lease thereof to the Company are also subject to
approval by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD"). The approval by HUD with respect to NPC's purchase and subsequent
lease to Brookdale of the Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities has
not been received as of the date hereof and may not be received by the closing
of the Offering, if at all. If Brookdale is unable to lease such facilities,
its pro forma as adjusted total revenue, operating income and net loss for the
year ended December 31, 1995 would be $28.1 million, $3.1 million and $1.4
million, respectively and its pro forma as adjusted total revenue, operating
income and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 would be
$21.7 million, $3.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Although the
Company expects that NPC's proposed acquisitions of the Hawthorn Lakes and
Edina Park Plaza facilities will be consummated within several weeks after the
completion of the Offering, there can be no assurance that the conditions to
such closings will be satisfied in a timely manner, if at all. Any material
delay or failure by NPC to consummate the purchase of such facilities,
together with the consequential delay or failure to lease such facilities to
the Company, could have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results.
The Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities contain approximately 20%
of the total units operated by the Company. See "The Company and the
Formation" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."     
 
DIFFICULTIES OF INTEGRATION; FUTURE ACQUISITION RISKS
   
  There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully integrate the
operations of the newly acquired or leased facilities with the operations of
the Original Facilities. If the Company is unsuccessful in operating the newly
acquired or leased facilities and integrating them into the Original
Facilities, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the
Company currently plans to acquire or lease three to five additional
facilities per year that are or can be repositioned as senior and assisted
living facilities. While the Company is actively pursuing acquisition
opportunities, except for the agreements for the purchase of the Acquired
Facilities, it has not entered into any agreements for any material     
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
   
acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company's acquisitions will be
completed at the rate currently expected, if at all. The success of the
Company's acquisitions will be determined by numerous factors, including the
Company's ability to identify suitable acquisition opportunities, competition
for such acquisitions, the purchase price, the financial performance of the
facilities after acquisition and the ability of the Company to integrate
effectively the operations of acquired facilities. Any failure by the Company
to achieve its acquisition plans or to integrate or operate acquired facilities
effectively may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. See "Business--Business and
Growth Strategy."     
 
DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION RISKS
 
  In addition to acquisitions, the Company currently plans to commence
development of approximately three new senior and assisted living facilities
per year containing approximately 200 units each in urban and suburban areas in
major metropolitan markets. The Company's ability to achieve its development
plans will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the
Company's control. Further, due to the time required for site selection,
governmental approvals, construction and rental, it is expected that a facility
will not achieve a 90% occupancy rate (a stabilized rate) for at least 32
months, if at all, after a final determination is made by the Company to
proceed with any particular development. The successful development of
additional facilities will involve a number of risks, including the possibility
that the Company may be unable to locate suitable sites at acceptable prices or
may be unable to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, necessary
zoning, land use, building, occupancy, licensing and other required
governmental permits and authorizations. The Company may also incur
construction costs that exceed original estimates, may not complete
construction projects on schedule and may experience competition in the search
for suitable development sites. There can be no assurance that the Company will
not suffer delays in its development program, which could slow the Company's
growth. The Company relies and will continue to rely on third-party general
contractors to construct its new facilities. There can be no assurance that the
Company will not experience difficulties in working with general contractors
and subcontractors, which could result in increased construction costs and
delays. Further, facility development is subject to a number of contingencies
over which the Company will have little control and that may adversely affect
project cost and completion time, including shortages of, or the inability to
obtain, labor or materials, the inability of the general contractor or
subcontractors to perform under their contracts, strikes, adverse weather
conditions and changes in applicable laws or regulations or in the method of
applying such laws and regulations. Accordingly, if the Company is unable to
achieve its development plans, its business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected. See "Business--Business
and Growth Strategy."
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
   
  To achieve its acquisition and development plans and growth objectives, the
Company will need to obtain significant additional financial resources. The
Company estimates the cost to acquire and develop the new facilities targeted
for acquisition or development over the next two years is approximately $95.0
million in the aggregate, which substantially exceeds the net proceeds of the
Offering and the Company's committed debt financing. Accordingly, the Company's
future growth will depend on its ability to obtain significant additional
financing on acceptable terms. The Company currently estimates that the net
proceeds from the Offering, together with anticipated financing commitments,
will be sufficient to fund its acquisition and development plans for
approximately 15 months following completion of the Offering. As its financing
needs require, the Company will from time to time seek additional financing
through a variety of sources, which may include equity financing, debt
financing, such as tax-exempt bonds, conventional mortgage financing and bank
financing, leases with NPC or third parties or other financing methods which,
if equity securities are employed, may result in dilution to the Company's
stockholders. There can be no assurance that future financing will be available
as needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. A lack of funds may require
the Company to delay or eliminate all or some of its development projects and
acquisition plans and could therefore adversely affect the Company's growth
plans. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

<PAGE>
 
ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS; FLOATING RATE DEBT
   
  The Company was subject to mortgage and other indebtedness in an aggregate
principal amount of approximately $39.8 million at September 30, 1996 on a pro
forma basis. The Company intends to finance its senior and assisted living
facilities through tax-exempt bond financing, conventional mortgage financing,
leases with NPC or third parties or other financing methods, including lines
of credit such as the Acquisition Line. The amount of indebtedness and lease
payments is expected to increase substantially as the Company pursues its
growth strategy. As a result, an increasing amount of the Company's cash flow
will be devoted to debt service and related lease payments, and the Company
will continue to be subject to risks normally associated with significant
financing leverage. In addition, indebtedness the Company may incur in the
future may bear interest at floating rates and in such event increases in
prevailing interest rates could increase significantly the Company's interest
payment obligations on such indebtedness. Further, the Company's lease
payments relating to the Heritage and the Devonshire facilities reflect the
adjustable interest rate applicable to the bonds relating to such facilities
and such lease payments will be adjusted to reflect changes in such interest
rate and, consequently, increases in such interest rate could increase
significantly the Company's lease payments with respect to such facilities.
There can be no assurance the Company will generate sufficient cash flow from
operations to cover required interest, principal and lease payments. Any
payment or other default could cause the lender to foreclose upon the
facilities securing such indebtedness or, in the case of a lease, could result
in the termination of the lease, with a consequent loss of income and asset
value to the Company. In addition, it is anticipated that the terms of the
Company's credit facilities will restrict the payment of dividends by the
Company or distributions by its wholly owned limited partnership to the
Company if certain financial ratios are not met. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources" and Notes to Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.     
   
  The Heritage, Devonshire, Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities
have been financed with tax-exempt bonds. In order to maintain the tax-exempt
treatment of the interest paid on these bonds, the lease agreements between
NPC and the Company will require the Company to maintain the facilities in
compliance with certain federal income tax requirements, principally
pertaining to the maximum income level of a specified portion of the
facilities' residents. Failure to satisfy these requirements would constitute
an event of default under such leases. In the event of a default under the
leases that is not cured within any applicable cure periods, the Company could
lose its rights to possession of such facilities which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. In certain cases, the Company's ability to increase prices at the
facilities with such bond financing (in response to higher operating costs or
other factors) could be limited if it affects the ability of the Company to
attract and retain residents with qualifying incomes.     
 
DIFFICULTIES OF MANAGING RAPID GROWTH
 
  The Company expects that the number of facilities it owns and operates will
increase substantially as the Company pursues its development and acquisition
strategy. This planned growth will place significant demands on the Company's
management resources. In order to manage its growth effectively, the Company
must continue to expand its operational, financial and management information
systems and continue to attract, train, motivate, manage and retain key
employees. If the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively, its
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially
and adversely affected. See "Business--Business and Growth Strategy" and
"Management."
 
DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND SKILLED PERSONNEL
 
  The Company depends significantly on the continued services of Mark J.
Schulte, its President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of his services
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. The Company also depends on its ability
to continue to attract and retain management personnel who will be responsible
for the day-to-day operations of its senior and assisted living facilities. If
the Company is unable to hire qualified management personnel to operate its
facilities, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected. See "Management."

BENEFITS TO AFFILIATES     
   
  PGI will realize substantial benefits from the Offering. In particular, upon
completion of the Offering, PGI will own 3,928,750 shares of Common Stock with
a market value of approximately $62.9 million (assuming no exercise of the
Underwriters' over-allotment option and an initial public offering price of
$16.00 per share, the midpoint of the filing range). In addition to PGI's
receipt of Common Stock in connection with PGI's contribution of the Hallmark
facility and the operations relating to the Original Facilities to the
Company, the Company will pay $12.0 million to PGI to retire certain
indebtedness secured by a pledge of cash flow from the Hallmark facility and
will pay PGI $4.6 million to be used for the purchase of a third party's
interest in the Devonshire and the Heritage facilities and will reimburse PGI
for costs and earnest money deposits for the Acquired Facilities. Further, PGI
will receive partner distributions simultaneously with the completion of the
Offering to the extent that the unrestricted cash balances of the Original
Facilities exceed $2.0 million. At the Formation, in accordance with the
Formation Agreement, Mark J. Schulte will transfer all of his interests in the
Hallmark facility and the operations relating to the Original Facilities to
the Company in exchange for 571,250 shares of Common Stock from the Company.
In addition, the Company will purchase the Preferred Stock from NPC for $22.4
million. See "--Conflicts of Interest" and "--Lack of Arm's Length
Negotiations," "The Company and the Formation" and "Use of Proceeds."     
 
SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT
   
  PGI will beneficially own approximately 38.8% of the outstanding Common
Stock after completion of the Offering (35.8% if the Underwriters' over-
allotment option is exercised in full). Executive officers and directors of
the Company as a group will beneficially own approximately 44.4% of the
outstanding Common Stock after the Offering (41.0% if the Underwriters' over-
allotment option is exercised in full). As a result, PGI and the Company's
executive officers and directors will have significant influence over all
matters requiring approval by the Company's stockholders, including business
combinations and the election of directors. See "Principal Stockholders."     
 
COMPETITION
   
  The long-term care industry is highly competitive, and the Company believes
that the senior and assisted living segment, in particular, will become even
more competitive in the future. The Company will be competing with numerous
other companies providing similar services such as home health care agencies,
other senior and assisted living providers, retirement communities and
convalescent centers. In general, regulatory and other barriers to entry in
the senior and assisted living industry are not substantial. In pursuing its
business and growth strategy, the Company expects to face competition in its
efforts to develop, acquire and lease facilities. Some of the Company's
present and potential competitors are significantly larger and have, or may
obtain, greater financial resources than the resources available to the
Company. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will not
encounter increased competition that could limit its ability to attract
residents or expand its business or otherwise have a material adverse effect
on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, if
the development of new senior and assisted living facilities outpaces demand
for those facilities in certain markets, such markets may become saturated.
Such an oversupply of facilities could cause the Company to experience
decreased occupancy rates, depressed margins and lower operating results. See
"Business--Competition."     
 
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
 
  The Company's senior and assisted living facilities are subject to federal,
state and local regulation and licensing by state and local health and social
service agencies and other regulatory authorities, which requirements vary
from state to state. Senior and assisted living facilities in some states are
subject to periodic survey or inspection by governmental authorities. In
Illinois, where the Original Facilities are located, and perhaps in certain
other states in which the Company may operate in the future, the Company may
be unable to provide certain higher levels of assisted living services without
obtaining the appropriate licenses, if applicable.
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
In addition, some states have adopted certificate of need or similar laws
applicable to assisted living and nursing facilities which generally require
that the appropriate state agency approve certain acquisitions or capital
expenditures and determine that a need exists for certain new bed additions or
new services. Many states have placed a moratorium on granting certificates of
need or otherwise stated their intent not to grant approval for such
expenditures. To the extent certificates of need or other similar approvals
are required for expansion of Company operations, such expansion could be
adversely affected by the failure or inability to obtain the necessary
approvals or possible delays in obtaining such approvals.
 
  Although the Company currently does not participate in the Medicare or
Medicaid programs, the hospitals with which it has affiliations do participate
in those programs and the Company intends to participate in the Medicare
program at the skilled nursing facility to be constructed at the Devonshire
facility. Also, all of the Company's residents are eligible for Medicare
benefits. Therefore, certain aspects of the Company's business are and will be
subject to federal and state laws and regulations which govern financial and
other arrangements between and among health care providers, suppliers and
vendors. These laws prohibit certain direct and indirect payments and fee-
splitting arrangements designed to induce or encourage the referral of
patients to, or the recommendation of, a particular provider or other entity
or person for medical products and services. These laws include, but are not
limited to, the federal "anti-kickback law" which prohibits, among other
things, the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of
remuneration in return for the referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. The
Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human
Services, the Department of Justice and other federal agencies interpret these
statutes liberally and enforce them aggressively. Members of Congress have
proposed legislation that would significantly expand the federal government's
involvement in curtailing fraud and abuse and increase the monetary penalties
for violation of these provisions. Violation of these laws can result in,
among other things, loss of licensure, civil and criminal penalties for
individuals and entities, and exclusion of health care providers or suppliers
from participation in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs.
 
  In addition, although the Company is not a Medicare or Medicaid provider or
supplier, it is subject to these laws because (i) the state laws typically
apply regardless of whether Medicare or Medicaid payments are at issue, (ii)
the Company plans to build and operate a skilled nursing facility at its
Devonshire facility and may establish licensed home health agencies which are
intended to participate in Medicare, and (iii) as required under some state
licensure laws, and for the convenience of its residents, some of the
Company's senior and assisted living facilities maintain contracts with
hospitals, who in turn maintain contracts with certain health care providers
and practitioners, including pharmacies, home health agencies and hospices,
through which the health care providers make their health care items or
services (some of which may be covered by Medicare or Medicaid) available to
facility residents. There can be no assurance that such laws will be
interpreted in a manner consistent with the practices of the Company.
 
  The success of the Company will depend in part upon its ability to satisfy
applicable regulations and requirements and to procure and maintain required
licenses as the regulatory environment for senior and assisted living
facilities evolves. There can be no assurance that federal, state or local
laws or regulatory procedures which might adversely affect the Company will
not be imposed or expanded. Any failure by the Company to comply with
applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Business--Governmental Regulation."
 
ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
 
  Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
held liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or
toxic substances that could be located on, in or under such property. Such
laws and regulations often impose liability whether or not the owner or
operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or
toxic substances. In addition, the Company's skilled nursing facility to be
built at the Devonshire facility will be subject to laws relating to the
disposal of biohazardous waste. The costs of any required remediation or
removal
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
of these substances could be substantial and the liability of an owner or
operator as to any affected property is generally not limited under such laws
and regulations and could exceed the property's value and the aggregate assets
of the owner or operator. In connection with the ownership or operation of its
facilities, the Company could be liable for these remediation costs or fines.
As a result, the presence, with or without the Company's knowledge, of
hazardous or toxic substances at any property held or operated by the Company,
or acquired or operated by the Company in the future, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
 
LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
   
  The services provided by the Company subject it to significant liability
risks. In recent years, the senior and assisted living industry has
experienced an increase in the number of lawsuits alleging negligence and
other legal theories, many of which involve significant legal costs and
substantial claims. The Company intends to secure, by completion of the
Offering, insurance policies in amounts and with such coverage as it deems
appropriate for its operations. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will be able to continue to obtain sufficient liability insurance
coverage in the future or that such coverage will be available on acceptable
terms. A successful claim in excess of the Company's coverage or not covered
by the Company's insurance could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Claims
against the Company, regardless of their merit or outcome, may involve
significant legal costs and require management to devote considerable time
which would otherwise be utilized in the operation of the Company. See
"Business--Insurance."     
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
   
  Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 10,125,000 shares of
Common Stock outstanding (or 10,968,750 shares if the Underwriters' over-
allotment option is exercised in full). Of these shares, the 5,625,000 shares
sold in the Offering (or a maximum of 6,468,750 if the Underwriters' over-
allotment option is exercised in full) will be freely tradable without
restriction or limitation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") except for any shares purchased by "affiliates" of the
Company, as such term in defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act. The remaining 4,500,000 shares are "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 and are held by PGI and management of the Company. The
Company, its directors, executive officers and certain key employees and PGI
have agreed with the Underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell
or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, any options to purchase
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus (the
"lock-up period") without the prior written consent of Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation ("DLJ"). After expiration of the lock-up
period, PGI will be entitled to certain demand and incidental registration
rights with respect to its shares. If PGI, by exercising its demand
registration rights, causes a large number of shares to be registered and sold
in the public market, such sales could have an adverse effect on the market
price for the Common Stock. Further, promptly following completion of the
Offering, the Company intends to register 750,000 shares of Common Stock which
will be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option programs.
Upon completion of the Offering, options to purchase 383,500 shares will be
granted at the initial public offering price to executive officers, certain
key employees and non-employee directors of the Company. Such Options will
vest and become exercisable with regard to 348,500 shares, subject to certain
conditions being met, at the rate of 25% per year commencing on the first
anniversary of their date of grant and, with regard to 35,000 shares, at the
rate of 33.3% per year commencing on the first anniversary of their date of
grant. All restricted shares of Common Stock will be eligible for sale to
certain qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of Common Stock in the
public market after the Offering or the perception that such sales could occur
could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and the Company's
ability to raise equity. See "Management--Stock Incentive Plan," "Description
of Capital Stock--Registration Rights Agreement," "Shares Eligible for Future
Sale" and "Underwriting."     
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
  Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock,
and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be
sustained after the Offering. The initial public offering price of the Common
Stock will be determined by negotiation between the Company and the
representatives of the Underwriters and may bear no relationship to the price
at which the Common Stock will trade after completion of the Offering. For
factors that will be considered in determining the initial public offering
price, see "Underwriting." After completion of the Offering, the market price
of the Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response
to various factors and events, including the liquidity of the market for the
shares of Common Stock, variations in the Company's operating results, changes
in earnings estimates by securities analysts, publicity regarding the industry
or the Company and the adoption of new statutes or regulations (or changes in
the interpretation of existing statutes or regulations) affecting the health
care industry in general or the senior and assisted living industry in
particular. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced
broad price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the
operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may
adversely affect the market price of the shares of Common Stock.
 
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated
By-laws, as well as Delaware corporate law, contain certain provisions that
could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to
acquire, or discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of
the Company. These provisions could limit the price that certain investors
might be willing to pay in the future for shares of Common Stock. Certain of
these provisions allow the Company to issue, without stockholder approval,
preferred stock having rights senior to those of the Common Stock. Other
provisions impose various procedural and other requirements, including advance
notice and super-majority voting provisions, that could make it more difficult
for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. In addition, the
Company's Board of Directors is divided into three classes, each of which
serves for a staggered three-year term, which may make it more difficult for a
third party to gain control of the Board of Directors. As a Delaware
corporation, the Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "DGCL") which, in general, prevents an "interested
stockholder" (defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a
corporation's outstanding voting stock) from engaging in a "business
combination" (as defined therein) for three years following the date such
person became an interested stockholder unless certain conditions are
satisfied. Pursuant to a Board resolution adopted at the time of formation of
the Company, the Section 203 limits do not apply to any "business combination"
between the Company and PGI. See "Description of Capital Stock."
 
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
   
  The existing stockholders of the Company acquired their shares of Common
Stock at an average cost substantially below the assumed initial public
offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. Therefore,
purchasers of Common Stock in the Offering will experience immediate and
substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share of approximately
$8.45. See "Dilution."

                      THE COMPANY AND THE FORMATION     
   
  The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 4, 1996 and is wholly
owned by an affiliate of The Prime Group, Inc. At the completion of the
Offering, the shares owned by such affiliate will be repurchased by the
Company in accordance with a subscription agreement between the Company and
such affiliate at a nominal price. Pursuant to the Formation Agreement (as
defined herein), in connection with the completion of the Offering, PGI will
contribute its interest in the Hallmark facility and the operations relating
to the Original Facilities (including all of the capital stock of a wholly
owned subsidiary of PGI that holds certain rights relating to the proposed
skilled nursing facility on the campus of the Devonshire facility) to the
Company in exchange for 3,928,750 shares of Common Stock, $12.0 million in
cash from the net proceeds of the Offering to retire certain indebtedness
secured by a pledge of cash flow from the Hallmark facility and the assumption
by the Company of certain indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $34.4
million. The operations relating to the Original Facilities being contributed
to the Company will include all of the assets and liabilities of PGI with
respect to such operations other than those contributed to NPC and leased to
the Company. However, PGI will receive partner distributions simultaneously
with the Offering to the extent that the unrestricted cash balances of the
Original Facilities exceed $2.0 million. In addition, PGI will assign its
rights to purchase the Gables at Brighton and the Springs of East Mesa
facilities to the Company in exchange for reimbursement of its costs relating
to such purchase contracts, including an earnest money deposit of $0.5 million
and will receive $4.6 million from the net proceeds of the Offering for the
purchase of a third party's interest in the Devonshire and Heritage
facilities. At the Formation, in accordance with the Formation Agreement, Mark
J. Schulte, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will
transfer all of his interests in the Hallmark facility and in the operations
relating to the Original Facilities to the Company in exchange for 571,250
shares of Common Stock. The Company, at the completion of the Offering, will
also enter (i) a management agreement with PGI to manage the Island on Lake
Travis facility and (ii) a management agreement (and an option to purchase)
regarding the Kenwood facility with a third party unaffiliated with PGI that
owns the Kenwood facility. See "Use of Proceeds," "Business--Facilities" and
"Certain Transactions."     
   
  At the completion of the Offering, PGI will purchase the interest of a third
party in the Heritage and Devonshire facilities and will contribute all of
such interest, as well as its existing interests in such facilities, to NPC in
exchange for 100% of the common stock of NPC. NPC will replace the credit
enhancement securing the $65.0 million of tax-exempt bonds relating to the
Devonshire and the Heritage facilities. PGI has obtained a commitment from
LaSalle National Bank and Bank One, Chicago, NA whereby letters of credit with
a maturity of three years from the completion of the Offering would be
provided as replacement credit enhancement for such tax-exempt bonds. On or
prior to the completion of the Offering, NPC will have executed definitive
agreements with such banks to issue the letters of credit.     
   
  At the completion of the Offering, NPC and the Company will enter net
operating lease agreements for the Heritage and Devonshire facilities for
terms of 25 years with five, 10-year renewal options. The net leases will
require an aggregate security deposit of $5.0 million and monthly rental
payments that will adjust based on an adjustable bond interest rate applicable
to the tax-exempt bonds. Based on the current adjustable bond interest rate of
5.25%, the aggregate monthly lease payments for the Heritage and Devonshire
facilities would be approximately $414,000. Although the lease agreements will
contain certain restrictions on NPC's ability to refinance such adjustable
rate bonds, the Company's future lease payments for such facilities will be
adjusted to reflect changes in NPC's debt service payments. The lease
agreement for the Devonshire facility will provide that NPC will, subject to
various conditions, fund up to $5.0 million for the cost of the construction
of the proposed skilled nursing facility. Base rent for such facility shall
increase by an amount equal to 10% per annum of the amounts so funded by NPC.
See "Risk Factors--Conflicts of Interest" and "--Lack of Arm's Length
Negotiations" and "Certain Transactions."     
   
  The lease agreements between the Company and NPC will be net operating
leases that will obligate the Company to comply with the terms and conditions
of the underlying bond financing documents for the respective Leased
Facilities. Beginning in 1999, the leases will require the payment of bonus
rent, on a quarterly basis, in     
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
   
amounts equal to 4% of the increase, if any, in the aggregate gross revenue of
the Leased Facilities for such period over the aggregate gross revenue of the
Leased Facilities for the same period during 1998. The lease agreements will
contain certain restrictions on the ability of NPC to sell, refinance or
encumber the Leased Facilities or the ownership interests of NPC and will
grant to the Company a right of first offer in the event NPC desires to sell
or transfer any of the Leased Facilities.     
   
  The Company and NPC will enter an agreement whereby NPC will agree to
purchase the Edina Park Plaza and the Hawthorn Lakes facilities substantially
in accordance with the purchase agreements for such facilities assigned to NPC
from PGI and to net lease such facilities to the Company. Such purchase and
lease is subject to the consent of the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD") which consent may not be received by the closing of
the Offering, if at all. The Company and NPC will agree to use their best
efforts to obtain the HUD consent and any other appropriate approvals to
effect such purchase and lease. The leases shall be on substantially the same
terms and conditions as the leases for the Devonshire and Heritage facilities.
However, the rent for the Edina Park Plaza facility will be based on the 8.0%
fixed interest rate payable on the HUD guaranteed loan relating to such
facility and the rent for Hawthorn Lakes facility will be based on the 8.525%
fixed interest rate payable on the HUD guaranteed loan relating to such
facility. Although NPC intends to refinance the fixed rate bonds to adjustable
rate bonds, until such refinancing, the monthly rental rate for the Edina Park
Plaza facility will be $200,000 and for the Hawthorn Lakes facility will be
$300,000. Following such refinancing, the rent for these facilities will be
adjusted monthly in accordance with the adjustable interest rate of the
underlying bonds. The earliest dates for refinancing are December 1, 2001 and
January 31, 2001, respectively, for the Edina Park Plaza and Hawthorn Lakes
facilities. The security deposits for the leases of the Edina Park Plaza and
Hawthorn Lakes facilities are $2.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The
lease agreement for the Hawthorn Lakes facility will provide that NPC will,
subject to various conditions, fund up to $5.0 million for the cost of
construction of the proposed 57-unit addition and other improvements. Base
rent for such facility shall increase by an amount equal to 10% per annum of
the amounts so funded by NPC.     
   
  The Company will purchase $22.4 million of non-participating cumulative
preferred stock of NPC (the "Preferred Stock") simultaneously with the
completion of the Offering. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will be
cumulative from the date of issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears at
an annual dividend rate of 12.0% of the amount of the Preferred Stock. The
Preferred Stock will be non-voting unless dividends are not paid in full for
four quarters. In such event, the preferred stockholders of NPC would be
granted voting rights sufficient to elect a majority of the board of directors
of NPC. In addition, the terms of the Preferred Stock will provide that the
affirmative vote of the majority of the holders of the Preferred Stock will be
required to approve the issuance of any additional Preferred Stock and any
amendment to the charter of NPC that would materially and adversely affect any
right, preference or privilege of the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may
be called at any time after three years from the date of issue at par plus any
unpaid dividends through the date of such call. Prior to three years from the
date of issue, the Preferred Stock may be called only with the consent of
Brookdale, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld if the purpose for
such call is the determination by NPC to elect to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
If NPC elects to be taxed as a RElT and does not call the Preferred Stock, the
dividend rate on the Preferred Stock will be increased to an amount sufficient
to provide the Company with the same after-tax return from such dividends
following such election that the Company received prior to such election. See
"Risk Factors--Conflicts of Interest" and "--Lack of Arm's Length
Negotiations" and "Certain Transactions."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
   
  The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 5,625,000 shares of
Common Stock offered hereby are estimated to be approximately $81.6 million (at
an assumed initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, the midpoint of
the filing range) or approximately $94.2 million if the Underwriters' over-
allotment option is exercised in full, after deducting the estimated
underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the
Company. Simultaneously with the completion of the Offering, the Company
intends to use approximately $19.5 million of the net proceeds to fund the cash
portion of the purchase price for the Acquired Facilities, approximately $22.4
million to purchase the Preferred Stock from NPC, $4.6 million of the net
proceeds to PGI for its purchase of a third party's interests in the Devonshire
and the Heritage facilities and reimbursement of costs, including an earnest
money deposit of $0.5 million, in connection with the Acquired Facilities,
approximately $5.0 million of the net proceeds to fund the security deposits in
connection with the lease of two of the Leased Facilities (the Devonshire and
the Heritage facilities) from NPC and approximately $0.3 million in payment of
a fee to a lender in connection with the transfer of ownership of the Hallmark
facility to the Company. In addition, the Company intends to use approximately
$5.6 million of the net proceeds to fund the balance of the security deposits
in connection with the lease of the other two Leased Facilities (the Hawthorn
Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities) upon the execution of such leases. The
Company also intends to use approximately $12.0 million of the net proceeds to
retire certain indebtedness of PGI which is secured by a pledge of PGI's rights
to cash flow from the Hallmark facility. The Company also intends to use
approximately $0.3 million in payment of a commitment fee to the lender under
the Acquisition Line. The balance of the net proceeds, approximately $11.9
million (or approximately $24.5 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full), will be used to finance a portion of the future
acquisitions and developments of senior and assisted living facilities and for
working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company is currently
negotiating with owners of several senior and assisted living facilities as
well as several sites for development of senior and assisted living facilities
to acquire such facilities and sites. The Company has not, however, entered
into binding contracts for any such acquisitions nor can there be any assurance
that the Company will complete any such acquisitions.     
 
  Pending such uses described above, the Company intends to invest the net
proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing securities or certificates of deposit.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Business--Business and Growth
Strategy" and "Certain Transactions."
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
  The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock
and currently plans to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth of
the Company's business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments of any cash

                                    DILUTION
   
  The Company's net deficit in tangible book value as of September 30, 1996
prior to the Offering was approximately $10.2 million, or $2.27 per share. Net
deficit in tangible book value per share as of September 30, 1996 is equal to
the Original Facilities total tangible assets less its total liabilities,
divided by the 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock to be received by PGI and
management of the Company related to the Formation. After giving effect to the
sale of the 5,625,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby at
an assumed initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, the midpoint of
the filing range, the pro forma net tangible book value of the Common Stock at
September 30, 1996 would have been approximately $76.5 million, or $7.55 per
share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book
value of $9.82 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of
$8.45 per share to purchasers of Common Stock in the Offering. The following
table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Selected
Financial Data" and the Combined Financial Statements of the Original
Facilities and Notes thereto, each appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Such
historical information includes the operations, assets and liabilities of the
business and facilities relating to the Original Facilities (a portion of
which, consisting of the Hallmark facility and the operations relating to the
Original Facilities, will be contributed to the Company as part of the
Formation, the balance of which, consisting of the Heritage and the Devonshire
facilities, will be acquired by NPC and in turn leased to the Company upon the
completion of the Offering), and forms the basis for "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Except for
"Overview," the discussion of historical results set forth below does not
include financial information relating to the Acquired Facilities (consisting
of the Springs of East Mesa and the Gables at Brighton facilities), two of the
Leased Facilities (consisting of the Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza
facilities) or the managed facilities. See "Risk Factors--Uncertainty of
Proposed Acquisitions by NPC" and "The Company and the Formation." Historical
results as set forth herein are not necessarily indicative of future results
from operations.     
 
OVERVIEW
   
  The Company operates nine senior and assisted living facilities containing a
total of 1,968 units. Three of such facilities are owned by the Company, four
facilities are leased by the Company from NPC and two facilities are managed by
Brookdale pursuant to management contracts. The Company's senior and assisted
living facilities offer residents a supportive, "home-like" setting and
assistance with certain activities of daily living. Residents of Brookdale's
facilities are typically unable or choose not to live independently, but do not
require the 24-hour nursing care provided in skilled nursing facilities. By
providing residents a range of service options as their needs change, the
Company seeks to achieve greater continuity of care, enabling seniors to age in
place and thereby maintain their residency for a longer time period. The
ability to allow residents to age in place is beneficial to Brookdale's
residents as well as their families who are burdened with care option decisions
for their elderly relatives.     
   
  Upon the completion of the Offering, PGI will contribute its interests in the
Hallmark facility and the operations relating to the Original Facilities
(including all of the capital stock of a wholly owned subsidiary of PGI that
holds certain rights relating to the proposed skilled nursing facility on the
campus of the Devonshire facility) to the Company in exchange for 3,928,750
shares of Common Stock, $12.0 million in cash from the net proceeds of the
Offering and the assumption by the Company of certain indebtedness in the
aggregate amount of $34.4 million. The operations relating to the Original
Facilities being contributed to the Company will contain all of the assets and
liabilities of PGI with respect to such operations other than those contributed
to NPC and leased to the Company. However, PGI will receive partner
distributions simultaneously with the Offering to the extent that the
unrestricted cash balances of the Original Facilities exceed $2.0 million. In
addition, PGI will assign its rights to purchase the Gables at Brighton and the
Springs of East Mesa facilities to the Company in exchange for reimbursement of
its costs relating to such purchase contracts, including an earnest money
deposit of $0.5 million and will receive $4.6 million from the net proceeds of
the Offering for the purchase of a third party's interest in the Devonshire and
the Heritage facilities. At the Formation in accordance with the Formation
Agreement, Mark J. Schulte, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, will transfer all of his interests in the Hallmark facility and the
operations relating to the Original Facilities to the Company in exchange for
571,250 shares of Common Stock. In addition, at the completion of the Offering,
NPC and the Company will enter lease agreements for the Heritage and Devonshire
facilities for terms of 25 years with five, 10-year renewal options. The net
leases will require an aggregate security deposit of $5.0 million and monthly
rental payments in advance based on an adjustable bond interest rate applicable
to the tax-exempt bonds that will be adjusted with changes in such rate. Based
on an adjustable bond interest rate of 5.25%, the aggregate monthly lease
payments for the Heritage and Devonshire facilities would be $414,000. Although
the lease agreements contain certain restrictions on NPC's ability to refinance
such adjustable rate bonds, the Company's future lease payments for such
facilities will be adjusted to reflect changes in NPC's debt service payments.
The lease agreement for the     
 
                                       21

Devonshire facility will provide that NPC will, subject to various conditions,
fund up to $5.0 million for the cost of the construction of the proposed
skilled nursing facility. Base rent for such facility shall increase by an
amount equal to 10% per annum of the amounts so funded by NPC. In addition,
the Company and NPC will enter an agreement whereby NPC will agree to purchase
the Edina Park Plaza and the Hawthorn Lakes facilities substantially in
accordance with the purchase agreements for such facilities assigned to NPC
from PGI and to net lease such facilities to the Company. The Company will
also purchase the Preferred Stock of NPC for $22.4 million. Dividends on the
Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of issue and will be payable
quarterly in arrears at an annual dividend rate of 12.0% of the amount of the
Preferred Stock. Further, at the completion of the Offering, the Company will
enter (i) a management contract with PGI to manage the Island on Lake Travis
facility and (ii) a management agreement (and an option to purchase) regarding
the Kenwood facility with a third party unaffiliated with PGI that owns the
Kenwood facility. See "The Company and the Formation" and "Use of Proceeds."
       
  The Company currently plans to acquire or lease approximately three to five
facilities per year containing an aggregate of approximately 800 to 1,000
units, and to commence development of at least three new facilities per year
containing approximately 200 units each in major urban and suburban areas in
major metropolitan markets. The Company anticipates that it will use a
combination of net proceeds from the Offering, additional equity financing and
debt financing, lease transactions and cash generated from operations to fund
this development activity. In order to achieve its growth plans, the Company
will be required to obtain a substantial amount of additional financing. There
can be no assurance that future financing or lease transactions will be
available as needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. A lack of funds may
require the Company to delay all or some of its acquisition plans and
development projects. See "Risk Factors--Difficulties of Integration; Future
Acquisition Risks," "--Development and Construction Risks" and "--Need for
Additional Financing" and "--Liquidity and Capital Resources."     
   
  The Company derives its revenues from resident fees and management fees. On
a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Formation, most of the Company's
operating revenue has come from resident fees, which comprised 99.2%, of total
operating revenues for both the year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. Resident fees typically are paid monthly by
residents, their families or other responsible parties. All of the Company's
revenue has been derived from private pay sources. Management services income,
which on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Formation, accounted for
the remaining 0.8% of the Company's revenues for both the year ended December
31, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996, consists of management
fees which typically range from 3.0% to 5.0% of a managed facility's total
gross revenues. Resident fees and management fees are recognized as revenues
when services are provided. After the Offering, the Company will not receive
management fees with regard to its owned and leased facilities; however, it
will receive fees under the management contracts for the Island on Lake Travis
and Kenwood facilities.     
   
  The Company classifies its operating expenses into the following categories:
(i) facility operating expenses, which include lease payments, labor, food,
marketing and other direct facility expenses and real estate taxes; (ii)
general and administrative expenses, which primarily include corporate
headquarters and other overhead costs; and (iii) depreciation and
amortization.

(1) Historically, general and administrative expenses have not been incurred
    with regard to the Original Facilities, however, upon the completion of the
    Offering, the Company will incur and report general and administrative
    expenses as a separate item. See Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of
    Operations.
   
(2) Total units operated represents total units operated as of the end of the
    period for Original Facilities (the Hallmark facility was not acquired
    until June 1994). Occupancy rate is calculated by dividing total occupied
    units by total units operated as of the end of the period for the Original
    Facilities.     
(3) Average monthly revenue per unit represents the average of the total
    monthly resident fees divided by occupied units at the end of the period,
    averaged over the respective period presented and for the period of time in
    operation during the period for the Original Facilities.
 
COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
 
  Revenue. Resident fees revenue increased approximately $881,000, or 5.5%, to
$16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was
primarily due to a 5% increase in average monthly revenue per unit and a 0.5%
increase in occupancy percentage from the nine months ended September 30, 1995
to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The occupancy rate for the
Original Facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 99.3%
as compared to 98.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The
average monthly revenue per unit increased by $97 per unit, to $2,060 per unit,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $1,963 per unit for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
 
  Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses decreased approximately
$523,000, or 5.3%, to $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The primary reason for the decrease was due to more efficient operations
at the Original Facilities and economies of scale created by the increase in
occupancy and revenue. This was evidenced by the decrease in these expenses as
a percentage of revenue to 55.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared to 62.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. In addition,
property management fees (such management fees, which were paid to PGI, will
not be payable after the Formation) decreased approximately $98,000, or 12.3%,
due primarily to a reduction of the Hallmark's management fees, effective
January 1, 1996, from 5.0% of net operating income to 3.0%.
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately $550,000, or
18.7%, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 primarily
due to amortization of deferred marketing fees related to
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
 
the Heritage facility that became fully amortized in August 1995. Amortization
expense contributed approximately $591,000 to depreciation and amortization
expense in 1995 and was partially offset by an increase in depreciable assets
at each of the Original Facilities.
 
  Interest and financing fees expense decreased approximately $683,000, or
14.4%, to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 due
primarily to the refinancing of the Hallmark mortgage payable at the end of
1995. This refinancing resulted in savings of approximately $477,000 as the new
note bears a fixed rate of interest of 7.265% per annum whereas the old note
accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, the interest rate on the old note ranged from 8.75%
to 9.0%. In addition, the Devonshire and the Heritage facilities experienced
lower interest rates on their variable rate bonds for the first nine months of
1996 than for the same period in 1995, which resulted in additional savings of
approximately $238,000. Interest rates on these bonds (exclusive of credit
enhancement and other fees) averaged approximately 3.2% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to an average rate of approximately 3.7%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. These decreases in interest
expense were slightly offset by increased financing fees associated with the
Devonshire and the Heritage bonds for the nine month period ended September 30,
1996.
   
  Income (Loss) Before Minority Interest and Net Income (Loss). Income before
minority interest and net income increased approximately $2.6 million and $1.8
million, respectively, to approximately $1.0 million and $924,000,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to a loss
before minority interest and net loss of $1.6 million and $897,000,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 due primarily to an
increase in operating revenue and a decrease in operating expenses, as
described above.     
 
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
  Revenue. Resident fees revenue increased approximately $6.7 million, or
44.3%, to $21.9 million in 1995. Of this increase, $4.9 million related to a
full year of operations at the Hallmark facility in 1995 versus seven months in
1994, while the remainder of this increase was due primarily to increases in
average monthly revenue per unit at the Original Facilities and occupancy rates
for 1994 as compared to 1995. The occupancy rate for the Original Facilities
during 1995 increased 2.5% to 98.1% from 95.6% during 1994. The average monthly
revenue per unit increased by $283 per unit, to $2,015 per occupied unit, for
1995 as compared to $1,732 per unit for 1994.
 
  Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses increased approximately $2.0
million, or 17.6%, to $13.3 million in 1995. The primary reason for the
increase was an increase of $1.9 million in facility operating expenses at the
Hallmark facility due to a full year of operations versus only seven months in
1994. Real estate taxes increased approximately $120,000, or 13.4%, to $1.0
million in 1995 again due to a full year of taxes being expensed for the
Hallmark facility. Real estate taxes at both the Devonshire and Heritage
facilities were consistent from year to year. Property management fees (such
management fees, which were paid to PGI, will not be payable after the
Formation) increased approximately $327,000, or 44.0%, to $1.1 million in 1995
primarily due to a full year of fees assessed at the Hallmark facility and
increased revenues at the Devonshire and Heritage facilities. However, the
Original Facilities were run more efficiently and economies of scale created by
the increase in occupancy and revenue are evidenced by the reduction of these
expenses as a percentage revenue decreasing to 60.4% for the year ended
December 31, 1995 from 74.1% for the year ended December 31, 1994.
   
  Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $435,000, or
13.2%, to $3.7 million in 1995. Of this increase, approximately $511,000
related to a full year of depreciation at the Hallmark facility and $121,000
related to an increase of depreciable assets at the Original Facilities. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease of $197,000 in the amortization
of deferred marketing costs at the Heritage facility that became fully
amortized in mid 1995.     
 
  Interest and financing fees expense increased 57.5%, or $2.3 million, to $6.4
million. Of this increase, approximately $1.7 million was due to twelve months
of interest expense at the Hallmark facility for 1995 in
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
 
comparison to only seven months in 1994. In addition, approximately $612,000 of
additional interest expense related to the variable-rate bonds that encumber
both the Devonshire and Heritage facilities was recognized in 1995 due to
increased interest rates. Interest rates on the bonds (exclusive of credit
enhancement and other fees) averaged 3.9% in 1995 versus 2.9% in 1994. The
Devonshire and Heritage facilities also realized an increase in financing fees
in 1995 as a standard fee of 1.35% of the outstanding bond balance was imposed.
This created a $135,000 increase in financing fees from the prior year. The
above mentioned increases were partially offset by a $117,000 reduction to
interest expense related to a note payable to an affiliate that was paid off in
1994.
 
  In December 1995, the owner of the Hallmark facility repaid its original
mortgage note from the proceeds of a new note at a discount of approximately
$3.3 million, which was recognized as an extraordinary gain on the
extinguishment of debt.
   
  Income (Loss) Before Minority Interest and Net Income (Loss). Loss before
minority interest decreased approximately $2.0 million to approximately $1.4
million and net income increased approximately $5.3 million to $1.9 million in
1995 compared to a loss before minority interest and net loss of $3.4 million
and $2.2 million, respectively, in 1994 due primarily to an extraordinary gain
on the extinguishment of the mortgage debt on the Hallmark facility debt and
increased revenues at the Original Facilities, both described above. Partially
offsetting the extraordinary gain and increase in operating revenue was an
increase in operating expenses, as described above.     
 
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
 
  Revenue. Resident fees revenue increased approximately $8.6 million, or
129.1%, to $15.2 million in 1994. The increase was primarily due to the
addition of the Hallmark facility in 1994 that contributed approximately $4.7
million to total revenues. In addition, the Heritage facility experienced a
$3.4 million increase in revenues due to a full year of operations in 1994 (the
Heritage facility opened in September 1993). The balance of the increase was
related to an increase in the average monthly revenue per unit for the
Devonshire and Heritage facilities of $99 to $1,553 for 1994 from $1,454 for
1993 and a 18.7% increase in occupancy rate to 98.6% for 1994 from 79.9% for
1993. Overall average monthly revenue per unit increased $278 and overall
occupancy percentage increased 15.7% from 1993 to 1994 to $1,732 and 95.6%,
respectively.
 
  Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses increased approximately $6.0
million, or 113.5%, to $11.3 million in 1994, primarily due to the addition of
the Hallmark facility and a full year of operations at the Heritage facility.
Real estate taxes increased approximately $470,000, or 112.9%, to $887,000 due
to the factors mentioned above and a higher assessed real estate valuation for
the Devonshire facility. Property management fees (such management fees, which
were paid to PGI, will not be payable after the Formation) increased
approximately $418,000, or 128.3%, to $744,000 due to increased revenue.
However, the Original Facilities experienced economies of scale created by the
increase in occupancy and revenue as evidenced by the reduction of these
expenses as a percentage of revenue decreasing to 74.1% for 1994 from 79.5% for
1993.
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1.7 million,
or 102.1%, to $3.3 million. Of this increase, the addition of the Hallmark
facility contributed $700,000 in depreciation and a full year of operations for
the Heritage facility resulted in an additional $966,000 of depreciation and
amortization.
 
  Total interest and financing fees expense increased approximately $2.3
million, or 126.3%, to $4.1 million due primarily to $1.4 million in interest
expense incurred in 1994 on the mortgage note secured by the Hallmark facility.
In addition, interest and related financing fees on the variable rate bonds
related to the Heritage facility increased $942,000 in 1994 as these amounts
were expensed commencing in September 1993. Prior to this time, interest and
financing fees were capitalized as part of the cost of the building. The
balance of the increase was due to increased interest rates on the Devonshire's
variable rate bonds.
   
  Loss Before Minority Interest and Net Loss. Loss before minority interest and
net loss increased approximately $1.3 million and $567,000, respectively, to
$3.4 and $2.2 million, respectively, in 1994 compared     
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
 
   
to a net loss of $2.1 million and $793,000, respectively, in 1993 due primarily
to an increase in total expenses as described above. Partially offsetting the
increase in operating expenses was an increase in operating revenue, as
described above.     
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  Net cash provided (used) by operations totaled approximately $3.4 million and
$836,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
and approximately $620,000, $2.2 million and ($1.1) million for each of the
three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The variance
in cash flows from operations during the foregoing periods resulted primarily
from the effects of increases in various liabilities in 1994 due to the
acquisition of the Hallmark facility and improved operating results of the
Original Facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Cash
totaled $1.9 million, $5.5 million, $4.2 million, $4.1 million and $497,000 at
September 30, 1996 and 1995 and December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
  Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $276,000 and
$33,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
and approximately $167,000, $43.8 million and $12.9 million for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Brookdale's investing
activities included capital expenditures of $42.1 million related to the
acquisition of the Hallmark facility in 1994, $9.9 million for the completion
of the Heritage facility in 1993 and improvements to existing operations
totaling $254,111 and $5,558 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively, and $238,633, $1.1 million and $144,100 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
   
  Management believes that its capital expenditure program is adequate to
improve and equip its existing facilities, and expects to finance such
expenditures primarily through cash flows from operations. Excluding the
acquisition and development of new facilities, management believes that capital
expenditures related to the construction of the 82-bed skilled nursing facility
adjacent to the Devonshire facility will approximate $5.0 million and the
expansion of the Hawthorn Lakes facility will approximate $5.0 million. The
funds necessary for such capital expenditures are expected to be provided by
NPC, the owner and lessor of such facilities, and the annual base rent payable
by the Company under the net leases for such facilities will be increased by an
amount equal to 10.0% of any amounts so funded by NPC.     
   
  Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was approximately ($5.4)
million and $574,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and approximately ($378,000), $45.2 million and $12.1 million for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The activity
primarily relates to advances made to the general partner in 1996, the payment
of the principal portion of debt and distributions to partners and additional
financing and partner contributions to fund the acquisition of the Hallmark
facility in 1994 and the completion of the Heritage facility in 1993.     
 
  Brookdale plans to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth of
its business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments of any cash dividends
in the future will depend on the financial condition, results of operations and
capital requirements of the Company as well as other factors deemed relevant by
the Board of Directors.
   
  The Company currently plans to acquire or lease approximately three to five
facilities per year containing an aggregate of approximately 800 to 1,000
units, and to commence development of at least three new facilities per year
containing approximately 200 units each in urban and suburban areas in major
metropolitan markets. The Company anticipates that new developments will
require eight to 10 months for pre-construction development, 12 to 14 months
for construction and approximately 12 months after opening to achieve
stabilized occupancy. The development costs for the 175-unit prototype are
estimated to be approximately $20 million, or approximately $115,000 per unit.
The Company anticipates that it will use a combination of net proceeds from the
Offering, additional equity financing and debt financing, lease transactions
and cash generated from operations to fund its acquisition and development
activity. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds from the
Offering, together with anticipated financing commitments, will be sufficient
to fund its acquisition and development plans for approximately 15 months
following completion of the Offering. Therefore, in order to achieve its growth
plans, the Company will be required to obtain a substantial amount of
additional     
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
 
financing. The Company presently has no commitment, arrangement or
understanding regarding financing to fund the debt portion of the Company's
development plans. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain financing for its development program.
   
  The Company has obtained a non-binding term sheet from a financial
institution for a $50 million revolving line of credit (the "Acquisition Line")
for loans to finance the acquisition of senior and assisted living facilities.
The Company will guarantee repayment of all amounts outstanding under the
Acquisition Line. The Acquisition Line is expected to have a term of three
years and to be secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the real
property and improvements financed with funds drawn under the Acquisition Line
and a pledge of receivables relating to such facilities. With respect to each
advance, payments of interest only are expected to be required for the first
year and payments of interest and amortization of principal are expected to be
required thereafter. Advances under the Acquisition Line are expected to bear
interest at a variable rate per annum of 30-day LIBOR plus 2.35% to 2.75%.     
 
  The documentation for the Acquisition Line and the Company's other financing
documents will contain terms and conditions and representations and warranties
that are customary for such loans and are expected to contain financial
covenants and other restrictions that (i) require the Company to meet certain
financial tests and maintain certain escrows of funds, (ii) limit, among other
things, the ability of the Company to borrow additional funds, dispose of
assets and engage in mergers or other business combinations, and (iii) restrict
the ability of the Company to operate competing facilities within certain
distances from mortgaged facilities. See "Risk Factors--Adverse Consequences of
Indebtedness; Floating Rate Debt."
   
  The Company has $99.4 million of long-term indebtedness as of September 30,
1996 ($39.8 million pro forma after giving effect to the Formation) of which
$65.0 million is tax-exempt bonds with floating rates. See Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Condensed Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The interest rates (exclusive of credit enhancement and other fees) on such
debt averaged 2.9% in 1994 and 3.9% in 1995. Such tax-exempt bonds contain
covenants requiring the facilities to maintain a minimum number of units for
income qualified residents. The Company may enter into similar bond financing
in the future. See "Risk Factors--Adverse Consequences of Indebtedness;
Floating Rate Debt."     
   
  Following the Offering, the Company will be dependent on third-party
financing for its acquisition and development program. Except for the
Acquisition Line, the Company has no other arrangements for financing. There
can be no assurance that financing for the Company's acquisition and
development program will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at
all. Moreover, to the extent the Company acquires or leases facilities that do
not generate positive cash flow (after financing or lease costs, as
applicable), the Company may be required to seek additional capital for working
capital and liquidity purposes. See "Risk Factors--Need for Additional
Financing."     
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION
   
  Resident fees from senior and assisted living facilities owned or leased by
the Company and management fees from facilities operated by the Company are its
primary sources of revenue. These revenues are affected by monthly fee rates
and facility occupancy rates. The rates charged for the delivery of senior and
assisted living services are highly dependent upon local market conditions and
the competitive environment in which the facilities operate. In addition,
employee compensation expense is a principal cost element of facility
operations. Substantially all of the Company's resident agreements are for
terms of approximately one year and allow, at the time of renewal, for
adjustments in the monthly fees payable thereunder, and thus may enable the
Company to seek increases in monthly fees due to inflation or other factors.
Any such increase would be subject to market and competitive conditions and
could result in a decrease in occupancy at the Company's facilities. The
Company believes, however, that the short-term nature of its resident
agreements generally serves to reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse
effect of inflation. There can be no assurance that resident fees will increase
or that costs will not increase due to inflation or other causes. See "Risk
Factors--Adverse Consequences of Indebtedness; Floating Rate Debt."

OVERVIEW
   
  Brookdale provides senior and assisted living services to the elderly through
its facilities located in urban and suburban areas of major metropolitan
markets. The Company operates nine senior and assisted living facilities
containing a total of 1,968 units which, as of September 30, 1996, were
approximately 99% occupied. The Company owns three of such facilities, leases
four facilities under long-term net operating leases and manages two other
facilities pursuant to management contracts. With facilities that contain an
average of 220 units, the Company believes Brookdale is able to achieve
economies of scale within its facilities and provide senior and assisted living
services in a more cost-effective manner. The Company plans to acquire or lease
approximately three to five facilities per year containing an aggregate of
approximately 800 to 1,000 units, and to commence development of at least three
new facilities per year containing approximately 200 units each. Brookdale had
pro forma revenues and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
of $28.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. All of the Company's revenues
are derived from private pay sources. See "Risk Factors--Uncertainty of
Proposed Acquisitions by NPC," "--Difficulties of Integration; Future
Acquisition Risks," "--Development and Construction Risks" and "--Need for
Additional Financing" and "Certain Transactions."     
 
  Brookdale's facilities are designed for middle to upper income residents who
desire an upscale residential environment providing the highest level of
quality, care and value. The Company's objective is to allow its residents to
age in place by providing them with a continuum of senior and assisted living
services. By providing residents a range of service options as their needs
change, Brookdale seeks to achieve a greater continuity of care, thereby
enabling seniors to maintain their residency for a longer time period. The
ability to allow residents to age in place is beneficial to Brookdale's
residents as well as their families who are burdened with care option decisions
for their elderly relatives. In addition to studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom
units, the Company provides all residents with basic services, such as meal
service, 24-hour emergency response, housekeeping, concierge services,
transportation and recreational activities. For residents who require
additional supplemental care services, the Company provides assistance with
certain activities of daily living. The average age of Brookdale's residents is
approximately 82 years old, and many of these residents require some level of
assistance with their activities of daily living. Supplemental care services
are provided either by the Company or by outside services or agencies. It is
the Company's intention to bring "in-house" as many of these services as
practicable.
 
THE SENIOR AND ASSISTED LIVING INDUSTRY
 
  The senior and assisted living industry is a rapidly growing component of the
non-acute health care system for the elderly. According to industry analysts,
the senior and assisted living industry generated approximately $10 to $12
billion in revenues in 1995 and are expected to grow significantly over the
next several years. The senior living industry serves the needs of the elderly
who require or prefer occasional assistance with the activities of daily living
and who no longer desire, or cannot maintain, an independent lifestyle. It is
estimated that 35% of the people over age 85 require assistance with at least
one activity of daily living, such as bathing, eating, personal hygiene,
grooming and dressing. The senior and assisted living industry remains highly
fragmented, with only 5% of the industry's units operated by the 20 largest
companies in the industry, which provides opportunities for industry
consolidation.
 
  The rapid growth of the senior and assisted living industry is supported by
several significant trends, including the following:
 
  FAVORABLE DEMOGRAPHICS. The primary consumers of senior and assisted living
services are persons over age 65. This group represents one of the fastest
growing segments of the U.S. population. According to U.S. Bureau of the Census
data, the number of people in the U.S. age 65 and older increased by more than
27% from 1981 to 1994, growing from 26.2 million to 33.2 million. The segment
of the population over 85 years of age, which comprises the largest percentage
of residents at senior care facilities, is projected to increase by more than
40% between the years 1990 and 2000. Brookdale believes that these trends,
depicted in the graph below, will contribute to continued strong demand for
senior and assisted living services.

       PROJECTED PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN THE ELDERLY POPULATION OF THE U.S.
 
 
                    LOGO
 
  CONSUMER PREFERENCE. The Company believes that senior and assisted living
facilities provide prospective residents and their families with an attractive
alternative to skilled nursing facilities. Senior and assisted living
facilities, which are generally furnished by residents, allow residents to age
in place and preserve their independence in a more residential setting. The
Company believes these factors result in a higher quality of life than that
experienced in the more institutional or clinical settings, such as skilled
nursing facilities.
 
  COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE. The annual per resident cost for senior and
assisted living care is significantly less than the annual per resident cost
for skilled nursing care. The Company believes that the cost of senior and
assisted living care (which includes housing and meal preparation) compares
favorably with home health care when the costs associated with housing and meal
preparation are added to the costs of home health care. Pricing pressure is
also forcing skilled nursing facilities to shift their focus toward providing
more intense levels of care enabling them to charge higher fees, thus adding to
the shortage of facilities where less intensive care is available. The rapid
growth of the elderly population coupled with continuing constraints on the
supply and availability of long term care beds is leading to a continued
shortage of long term care beds for the elderly, as the table below
illustrates.

                                      LOGO
 
  CHANGING FAMILY DYNAMICS. As a result of the growing number of two-income
families, many children are not able to care for elderly parents in their own
homes. Two-income families are, however, better able to provide financial
support for elderly parents. In addition, other factors, such as the growth in
the divorce rate and single-parent households, as well as the increasing
geographic dispersion of families, have contributed to the growing inability of
children to care for aging parents in the home.

BUSINESS AND GROWTH STRATEGY
 
  The Company's business and growth strategy is based on the following key
elements:
   
  ACQUIRE AND LEASE EXISTING SENIOR AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES. The Company
believes that significant opportunities exist to take advantage of the
fragmented senior and assisted living industry by selectively acquiring or
leasing existing facilities. The Company's acquisition strategy will focus
primarily on facilities that are designed or can be repositioned by the Company
for middle to upper-income private pay residents. Acquisitions will primarily
consist of large facilities, similar to the Company's current facilities that
contain an average of 220 units, located in urban and suburban areas of major
metropolitan markets. The Company believes that its future acquisitions will
offer opportunities to enhance income by bringing supplemental services in-
house and by operating its facilities more efficiently by implementing the
Company's standardized operating procedures. See "Risk Factors--Difficulties of
Integration; Future Acquisition Risks."     
 
  DEVELOP THE BROOKDALE PROTOTYPE FACILITY IN TARGETED MARKETS. The Company
intends to leverage its development expertise and construct its prototype
facility in selected sites located in urban and suburban areas of major
metropolitan markets. The Company's prototype facility, which is flexible and
can be adapted to the specific requirements of individual markets and site
requirements, contains 175 units, but can be constructed to accommodate between
150 and 225 units. The prototype offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-
bedroom units and common areas providing premium amenities. The Company intends
to begin development of three facilities in each of the next five years, and
anticipates that each development will require approximately 20 to 24 months
from pre-development to completion of construction. See "Risk Factors--
Development and Construction Risks."
   
  PROVIDE ACCESS TO A FULL CONTINUUM OF SENIOR AND ASSISTED LIVING SERVICES.
The Company's strategy is to provide access to a full continuum of senior and
assisted living services allowing its residents' to age in place. This allows
the Company's residents to obtain a range of care as they become more frail or
as their health care needs become more acute. These services are provided
either by the Company or by outside services or agencies. It is the Company's
strategy to increase the availability of additional services and to capture the
majority of the revenue generated by providing these services through Company
employees. In addition, one of Brookdale's goals is to establish hospital
affiliations for each of its facilities. Hospital affiliations provide for on-
site physician and nursing services and facilitate the provision of health care
services and wellness programs to the Company's residents. In order to offer
residents a complete range of care options, the Company is presently developing
an 82-bed skilled nursing facility on the campus of the Devonshire facility.
The Company may pursue the development of additional skilled nursing facilities
at its other facilities in selected markets. See "Risk Factors--Development and
Construction Risks," "Use of Proceeds" and "--Hospital Affiliations."     
   
  UTILIZE SOPHISTICATED MARKETING AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. The Company utilizes
sophisticated marketing and management programs to achieve high occupancy rates
and financial performance, which as of September 30, 1996 was approximately 99%
in the Original Facilities. The Company believes that its programs will improve
the occupancy rates of facilities that the Company acquires or leases in the
future. The Company's marketing programs are designed to create community
awareness of the Company, its facilities and its services, and to cultivate
relationships with referral sources such as health care providers, physicians,
clergy, area agencies for the elderly, home health agencies and social workers.
In addition, hospital affiliations have been successfully implemented by the
Company at the Original Facilities, which provide referrals of prospective
residents. The Company believes that the success of its marketing programs is
demonstrated not only by its high occupancy rates, but also by the Company's
ability to maintain waiting lists at its facilities for prospective residents
who pay a deposit in order to be included on such lists. See "--Company
Operations--Marketing and Sales."     
 
  UTILIZE OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE TO ENHANCE PROFITABILITY. The Company has
developed and successfully implemented sophisticated management and operational
procedures at its Original Facilities resulting in strong operating margins and
occupancy rates at these facilities. These procedures include securing national
vendor contracts where feasible to ensure consistent low pricing, implementing
sophisticated budgeting and financial
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
 
   
controls at each facility and establishing standardized training and operations
procedures. The Company believes that the systematic implementation of its
management and operations policies will enable the Company to enhance the
financial performance of its existing and future facilities and continue to
improve the profitability of its stabilized facilities. See "Risk Factors--
Uncertainty of Proposed Acquisitions by NPC," "--Difficulties of Integration;
Future Acquisition Risks" and "--Development and Construction Risks."     
 
  EXPAND FACILITIES WHERE ECONOMICALLY ADVANTAGEOUS. The Company has found that
certain senior and assisted living facilities with stabilized occupancies
benefit from additions and expansions offering increased capacity, as well as
additional levels of service for higher acuity residents. Furthermore, the
expansion of existing facilities allows the Company to enhance its economies of
scale by increasing the revenue base while leveraging the existing facility's
infrastructure such as laundry and the kitchen. In addition to the planned 82-
bed skilled nursing facility on the campus of the Devonshire facility, the
Company is currently planning to expand its Hawthorn Lakes facility in Vernon
Hills, Illinois with an additional 57 units. See "Risk Factors--Development and
Construction Risks."

SERVICES
 
  The Company's senior and assisted living facilities offer residents personal
support services and assistance with certain activities of daily living in a
supportive, home-like setting. Residents of the Company's facilities are
typically unable or choose not to live independently, but do not require the
24-hour nursing care provided in skilled nursing facilities. The Company's
service options are designed to meet residents' changing needs and to achieve a
continuity of care, enabling seniors to age in place and thereby maintain their
residency for a longer time period.
 
 BASIC CARE PROGRAM
 
  The basic care package, which is received by all residents, includes meal
service, housekeeping services within the resident's unit, social and
recreational activities, scheduled transportation to medical centers and
shopping, security, emergency call response, access to on-site medical services
and medical education and wellness programs.
 
 SUPPLEMENTAL CARE SERVICES
 
  In addition to the basic care services, the Company offers custom tailored
supplemental care services for residents who desire or need such services.
Optional supplemental care services include check-in services and shopping,
escort and companion services. Residents with cognitive or physical frailties
and higher level service needs are either accommodated with supplemental
services in their own units or, in certain facilities, are cared for in a more
structured and supervised environment on a separate wing or floor of the
facility with a dedicated staff and with separate dining rooms and activity
areas.
 
  At present, many residents receive supplemental services from outside third
parties. The Company has also established a program providing various levels
and combinations of supplemental care services called "Personally Yours"SM.
This personal service program provides certain non-licensed services, such as
companion services, assistance with dressing and bathing, medication reminders,
check-in services, shopping and escort services. The Company plans to expand
its supplemental service offerings, where permitted, in order to capture
incremental revenue and enable its residents to remain in its facilities
longer. In addition, where practicable, the Company intends to obtain licensure
to provide licensed home health services to residents.
 
  Certain services, such as physician care, infusion therapy, physical and
speech therapy and other home health care services, are provided to many of
Brookdale's residents who need these services by third parties. The Company
assists residents in locating qualified providers for such health care
services.
 
COMPANY OPERATIONS
 
 OVERVIEW
 
  The Company continually reviews opportunities to expand the amount of
services it provides to its residents. To date, the Company has been able to
increase its monthly service fees on an annual basis and has experienced
increasing facility operating margins at the Original Facilities through a
combination of the implementation of efficient operating procedures and the
economies of scale associated with its larger than average facilities. The
Company's operating procedures include securing national vendor contracts where
appropriate to obtain consistent low pricing, implementing sophisticated
budgeting and financial controls at each facility and establishing standardized
training and operations procedures. The Company believes that successful senior
and assisted living operators must combine health care, hospitality and real
estate operations expertise.
 
  Brookdale has implemented intensive standards, policies and procedures
systems, including detailed staff manuals, which the Company believes has
contributed to Brookdale's high facility operating margins. The Company has
centralized accounting, finance and other operating functions at its corporate
headquarters so that, consistent with its operating philosophy, facility-based
personnel focus on resident care. Headquarters staff in
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
 
   
Chicago, Illinois are responsible for: the establishment of Company-wide
policies and procedures relating to, among other things, resident care,
facility design and facility operations; billings and collections; accounts
payable; finance and accounting; development of employee training materials and
programs; marketing activities; the hiring and training of management and other
facility-based personnel; compliance with applicable local and state regulatory
requirements; and implementation of the Company's acquisition, development and
leasing plans.     
 
 FACILITY STAFFING AND TRAINING
 
  Each facility has an Executive Director responsible for the day-to-day
operations of the facility, including quality of care, social services and
financial performance. Each Executive Director receives specialized training
from the Company. In addition, a portion of each Executive Director's
compensation is directly tied to the operating performance of the facility and
to the maintenance of high occupancy levels. The Company believes that the
quality and size of its facilities, coupled with its competitive compensation
philosophy, have enabled it to attract high-quality, professional
administrators. Each Executive Director is supported by a Resident Services
Director who is directly responsible for day-to-day care of the residents, and
by a Marketing Director, who oversees marketing and community outreach
programs. Other key positions at each facility include the Food Service
Director, the Activities Director, the Housekeeping Director, the Engineering
Director and the Business Manager. See "Risk Factors--Dependence on Senior
Management and Skilled Personnel."
 
  The Company believes that quality of care and operating efficiency can be
maximized by direct resident and staff contact. Employees involved in resident
care, including the administrative staff, are trained in the support and care
needs of the residents and emergency response techniques. The Company has
adopted formal training and evaluation procedures to help ensure quality care
for its residents. The Company has extensive policy and procedure manuals for
each department, and holds ongoing training sessions for management and staff
at each site. See "Risk Factors--Difficulties of Managing Rapid Growth."
 
 QUALITY ASSURANCE
 
  The Company maintains quality assurance programs at each of its facilities
through its corporate headquarters staff. The Company's quality assurance
program is designed to achieve a high degree of resident and family member
satisfaction with the care and services provided by the Company. The Company's
quality control measures include, among other things, facility inspections
conducted by corporate staff on at least a monthly basis. These inspections
cover: the appearance of the exterior and grounds; the appearance and
cleanliness of the interior; the professionalism and friendliness of staff;
resident care plans; the quality of activities and the dining program;
observance of residents in their daily living activities; and compliance with
government regulations.
 
  The Company's quality control measures also include the survey of residents
and family members on a regular basis to monitor the quality of services
provided to residents. The survey process begins with a visitor's survey sent
one week following a potential resident's visit to a facility to ascertain his
or her opinions and initial impressions. Detailed annual written surveys and
exit surveys are used to appraise and monitor the level of satisfaction of
residents and their families with facility operations and services.
 
  In order to foster a sense of community as well as to respond to residents'
desires, at each facility the Company has initiated the establishment of a
resident council, an advisory committee elected by the residents, that meets
monthly with the Executive Director of the facility. Separate resident
committees also exist for food service, activities, marketing and hospitality.
These committees promote resident involvement and satisfaction and enable
facility management to be more responsive to the residents' needs and desires.
 
 MARKETING AND SALES
 
  The Company's marketing strategy is intended to create awareness of the
Company and its services among potential residents and their family members and
referral sources, such as hospital discharge planners, physicians, clergy, area
agencies for the elderly, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies and
social workers.
 
                                       33
<PAGE>
 
Brookdale's marketing staff develops overall strategies for promoting the
Company and monitors the success of the Company's marketing efforts. Each
facility has a Director of Marketing who oversees the facility's marketing and
outreach programs and supervises the on-site marketing staff and move-in
coordinators. Besides direct contacts with prospective referral sources, the
Company also relies on print advertising, yellow pages advertising, direct
mail, signage and special events, such as grand openings for new facilities,
health fairs and community receptions. In addition, resident referral programs
have been established and are promoted at each facility. See "Risk Factors--
Competition."
 
 HOSPITAL AFFILIATIONS
   
  Another key element in the Company's strategy is to establish affiliations
between Brookdale's facilities and hospitals. The Hallmark and the Heritage
facilities are affiliated with Saint Joseph Health Centers and Hospital and
Holy Family Hospital, respectively, pursuant to agreements with the respective
hospitals. Both agreements grant the hospitals the right to lease space from
the Company at the respective facilities and provide that the hospitals will
maintain centers in the facilities to make services available to facility
residents. Each hospital pays rent for its leased space and the Company
compensates the hospitals for making the services they render available at the
facilities. The annual amounts paid by the hospitals pursuant to the rental
arrangements at the Hallmark and Heritage facilities are approximately equal to
the annual amounts paid by such facilities to such respective hospitals
pursuant to the applicable compensation arrangements. The agreement regarding
the Heritage facility terminates in 1998 and the agreement regarding the
Hallmark facility terminates in 1999, but will be automatically extended unless
either the hospital or the Company gives notice of termination. Although not
subject to a written agreement, the Devonshire facility has an affiliation with
Good Samaritan Hospital on terms similar to the agreements regarding the
Hallmark and the Heritage facilities. The Company is in the process of
arranging hospital affiliations for the Acquired Facilities (the Gables at
Brighton and the Springs of East Mesa facilities), and the Hawthorn Lakes and
Edina Park Plaza facilities, and will not be assuming any existing health care
or hospital affiliation agreements at such facilities. In addition, the Company
intends to arrange such affiliations for facilities that it acquires, develops
or leases in the future. Hospital affiliations provide for on-site physician
and nursing services and facilitate the provision of health care services and
wellness programs to the Company's residents and provide the Company with a
referral source.     
 
ACQUISITIONS AND DEVELOPMENT
 
  The Company evaluates markets for acquisition and development opportunities
based on demographics and market studies. The Company's acquisition and
development strategy will focus on the urban and suburban areas of major
metropolitan areas.
 
 ACQUISITIONS
 
  The Company currently expects to acquire three to five facilities per year
containing an aggregate of approximately 800 to 1,000 units. The Company may
acquire facilities as a means of entry to new markets and may also seek to
acquire facilities within its existing markets to gain further market share and
leverage its existing market awareness. Acquisitions are expected to primarily
consist of large facilities that are similar to the Company's current
facilities, which average approximately 220 units per facility. In reviewing
acquisition opportunities, the Company considers, among other things,
underlying demographics, facility location within its neighborhood or
community, the current reputation of the facility in the marketplace and the
ability of the Company to improve a facility's operations. Further, the Company
evaluates the opportunity to improve or enhance services and operating results
through the implementation of the Company's standard operating procedures. See
"Risk Factors--Difficulties of Integration; Future Acquisition Risks" and "--
Need for Additional Financing."
   
  The Company acquired the Hallmark, a 341-unit facility in Chicago, Illinois
in June 1994. Simultaneously with the completion of the Offering, the Company
will acquire the Gables at Brighton, a 103-unit facility in Brighton, New York
and the Springs of East Mesa in Mesa, Arizona. In addition, the Company will

management contract to operate a 150-unit facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota
which also provides Brookdale with an option to acquire such facility. The
Company believes that the Acquired Facilities are similar to the Company's
existing facilities and offer opportunities to enhance income through changes
such as bringing supplemental services in-house and implementing the Company's
standardized operating procedures. Management has extensive contacts in the
senior and assisted living and the health care industries, and the Company is
frequently presented with opportunities to acquire, develop, lease or manage
senior and assisted living facilities. The Company is involved in ongoing
discussions with owners of facilities for future acquisition opportunities. The
Company has a full-time staff, including its Director of Acquisitions,
dedicated to seeking, negotiating and closing acquisition transactions. See
"Risk Factors--Difficulties of Integration; Future Acquisition Risks."     
 
 DEVELOPMENT
   
  The Company currently intends to commence the development of approximately
three facilities per year. The Company's flexible prototype facility contains
175 units, but can be constructed to accommodate between 150 to 225 units. The
size of a particular facility will depend on site size, zoning and underlying
market characteristics. The Company's 175-unit prototype contains approximately
165,000 square feet in a four-story building and contains a mix of studio, one-
bedroom and two-bedroom units. In addition to the living units, the Company's
prototype contains common areas for residents, including a living room,
library, billiards room, multi-purpose room, arts and crafts room, exercise
room, convenience store, beauty/barber shop, mail room, dining room and private
dining room. The Company anticipates that new developments will require eight
to 10 months for pre-construction development, 12 to 14 months for construction
and approximately 12 months after opening to achieve stabilized occupancy. The
development costs for the 175-unit prototype are estimated to be approximately
$20 million, or approximately $115,000 per unit.     
 
  The Company evaluates markets in which to develop its prototype based on a
number of factors, including demographic profiles of both potential residents
and their adult children, existing competitors and lack of new entrants,
estimated market demand and zoning prospects. Site selection is based on
established criteria relating to land cost and conditions, visibility,
accessibility, immediate adjacencies, community perception and zoning
prospects. Full market feasibility studies, which include evaluations of all
potential competitors, extensive interviews with key community sources and
health care providers and demographic studies, are conducted for each site.
 
  The Company is presented with potential sites by independent brokers,
developers, health care organizations and financial institutions and through
internal site identification. If a site meets the Company's general market
criteria, then the Company will order a preliminary market study by an
independent third party. If the market study indicates that the site meets its
selection criteria, the Company will then conduct a more in-depth analysis of
the market to ensure there is a demonstrated need for senior and assisted
living services and that the site is appropriate in terms of location, size and
zoning. If the market and site meet all of the Company's selection criteria,
the property will be purchased for development. See "Risk Factors--Development
and Construction Risks" and "--Need for Additional Financing."
 
COMPETITION
   
  The senior and assisted living services and health care industries are highly
competitive and the Company expects that the senior and assisted living
services business in particular will become more competitive in the future. The
Company will continue to face competition from numerous local, regional and
national providers of senior and assisted living services. The Company will
compete with such facilities primarily on the bases of cost, quality of care
and the array of services provided. The Company will also compete with
companies providing home based health care based on those factors as well as
the reputation, geographic location and physical appearance of facilities and
family preferences. Some of the Company's competitors operate on a not-for-
profit basis or as charitable organizations, or have, or may obtain, greater
financial resources than those of the Company.     
 
                                       35
<PAGE>
 
  Moreover, in the implementation of the Company's business and growth
strategy, the Company expects to face competition for the acquisition and
development of senior and assisted living facilities. Consequently, there can
be no assurance that the Company will not encounter increased competition in
the future which could limit its ability to attract residents or expand its
business and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition, results of operations and prospects. See "Risk Factors--
Competition."
 
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
 
  Senior and assisted living facilities are subject to varying degrees of
federal, state and local regulation and licensing by local and state health and
social service agencies and other regulatory authorities. While regulations and
licensing requirements often vary significantly from state to state, they
typically address, among other things: personnel education, training and
records; facility services; physical plant specifications; furnishing of
resident units; food and housekeeping services; emergency evacuation plans; and
resident rights and responsibilities. In most states, senior and assisted
living facilities also are subject to state or local building codes, fire codes
and food service licensure or certification requirements. Assisted living
facilities may be subject to periodic survey or inspection by governmental
authorities. In Illinois, where the Original Facilities are located, and
perhaps in certain other states in which the Company may operate in the future,
the Company may be unable to provide certain higher levels of assisted living
services without obtaining the appropriate licenses, if applicable. The
Company's success will depend in part on its ability to satisfy such
regulations and requirements and to acquire and maintain required licenses. The
Company's operations could also be adversely affected by, among other things,
regulatory developments such as revisions in licensing and certification
standards.
 
  Some states have adopted certificate of need or similar laws applicable to
assisted living and nursing facilities which generally require that the
appropriate state agency approve certain acquisitions or capital expenditures
and determine that a need exists for certain new bed additions or new services.
Many states have placed a moratorium on granting certificates of need or
otherwise stated their intent not to grant approval for such expenditures. To
the extent certificates of need or other similar approvals are required for
expansion of Company operations, such expansion could be adversely affected by
the failure or inability to obtain the necessary approvals, or possible delays
in obtaining such approvals.
 
  Although the Company currently does not participate in the Medicare or
Medicaid programs, the hospitals with which it has affiliations do participate
in those programs and the Company intends to participate in the Medicare
program at the skilled nursing facility to be constructed at the Devonshire
facility. Also, all of the Company's residents are eligible for Medicare
benefits. Therefore, certain aspects of the Company's business are and will be
subject to federal and state laws and regulations which govern financial and
other arrangements between and among healthcare providers, suppliers and
vendors. These laws prohibit certain direct and indirect payments and fee-
splitting arrangements designed to induce or encourage the referral of patients
to, or the recommendation of, a particular provider or other entity or person
for medical products and services. These laws include, but are not limited to,
the federal "anti-kickback law" which prohibits, among other things, the offer,
payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for the
referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. The Office of the Inspector General
of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice and
other federal agencies interpret these statutes liberally and enforce them
aggressively. Members of Congress have proposed legislation that would
significantly expand the federal government's involvement in curtailing fraud
and abuse and increase the monetary penalties for violation of these
provisions. Violation of these laws can result in, among other things, loss of
licensure, civil and criminal penalties for individuals and entities, and
exclusion of health care providers or suppliers from participation in the
Medicare and/or Medicaid programs.
 
  In addition, although the Company is not a Medicare or Medicaid provider or
supplier, it is subject to these laws because (i) the state laws typically
apply regardless of whether Medicare or Medicaid payments are at issue, (ii)
the Company plans to build and operate a skilled nursing facility at its
Devonshire facility and may establish licensed home health agencies which are
intended to participate in Medicare, and (iii) as required under some
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
 
state licensure laws, and for the convenience of its residents, some of the
Company's senior and assisted living facilities maintain contracts with
hospitals, who in turn maintain contracts with certain health care providers
and practitioners, including pharmacies, home health agencies and hospices,
through which the health care providers make their health care items or
services (some of which may be covered by Medicare or Medicaid) available to
facility residents. There can be no assurance that such laws will be
interpreted in a manner consistent with the practices of the Company.
   
  Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all places of public
accommodation are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. A number of additional federal, state and
local laws exist which also may require modifications to existing and planned
properties to create access to the properties by disabled persons. While the
Company believes that its facilities are substantially in compliance with
present requirements or are exempt therefrom, if required changes involve a
greater expenditure than anticipated or must be made on a more accelerated
basis than anticipated, additional costs would be incurred by the Company.
Further legislation may impose additional burdens or restrictions with respect
to access by disabled persons, the costs of compliance with which could be
substantial.     
 
  The Company and its activities are subject to zoning and other state and
local government regulations. Zoning variances or use permits are often
required for construction. Severely restrictive regulations could impair the
ability of the Company to open additional facilities at desired locations or
could result in costly delays, which could adversely affect the Company's
business and growth strategy and results of operations. See "Risk Factors--
Development and Construction Risks" and "--Governmental Regulation."
       
          
THE COMPANY AND THE FORMATION     
   
  The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 4, 1996 and is wholly
owned by an affiliate of The Prime Group, Inc. At the completion of the
Offering, the shares owned by such affiliate will be repurchased by the
Company in accordance with a subscription agreement between the Company and
such affiliate at a nominal price. Pursuant to the Formation Agreement (as
defined herein), in connection with the completion of the Offering, PGI will
contribute its interest in the Hallmark facility and the operations relating
to the Original Facilities (including all of the capital stock of a wholly
owned subsidiary of PGI that holds certain rights relating to the proposed
skilled nursing facility on the campus of the Devonshire facility) to the
Company in exchange for 3,928,750 shares of Common Stock, $12.0 million in
cash from the net proceeds of the Offering to retire certain indebtedness
secured by a pledge of cash flow from the Hallmark facility and the assumption
by the Company of certain indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $34.4
million. The operations relating to the Original Facilities being contributed
to the Company will include all of the assets and liabilities of PGI with
respect to such operations other than those contributed to NPC and leased to
the Company. However, PGI will receive partner distributions simultaneously
with the Offering to the extent that the unrestricted cash balances of the
Original Facilities exceed $2.0 million. In addition, PGI will assign its
rights to purchase the Gables at Brighton and the Springs of East Mesa
facilities to the Company in exchange for reimbursement of its costs relating
to such purchase contracts, including an earnest money deposit of $0.5 million
and will receive $4.6 million from the net proceeds of the Offering for the
purchase of a third party's interest in the Devonshire and Heritage
facilities. At the Formation, in accordance with the Formation Agreement, Mark
J. Schulte, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will
transfer all of his interests in the Hallmark facility and in the operations
relating to the Original Facilities to the Company in exchange for 571,250
shares of Common Stock. The Company, at the completion of the Offering, will
also enter (i) a management agreement with PGI to manage the Island on Lake
Travis facility and (ii) a management agreement (and an option to purchase)
regarding the Kenwood facility with a third party unaffiliated with PGI that
owns the Kenwood facility. See "Use of Proceeds," "--Facilities" and "Certain
Transactions."     
   
  At the completion of the Offering, PGI will purchase the interest of a third
party in the Heritage and Devonshire facilities and will contribute all of
such interest, as well as its existing interests in such facilities, to NPC in
exchange for 100% of the common stock of NPC. NPC will replace the credit
enhancement securing the $65.0 million of tax-exempt bonds relating to the
Devonshire and the Heritage facilities. PGI has obtained a     
 
                                      37
<PAGE>
 
   
commitment from LaSalle National Bank and Bank One, Chicago, NA whereby
letters of credit with a maturity of three years from the completion of the
Offering would be provided as replacement credit enhancement for such tax-
exempt bonds. On or prior to the completion of the Offering, NPC will have
executed definitive agreements with such banks to issue the letters of credit.
       
  At the completion of the Offering, NPC and the Company will enter net
operating lease agreements for the Heritage and Devonshire facilities for
terms of 25 years with five, 10-year renewal options. The net leases will
require an aggregate security deposit of $5.0 million and monthly rental
payments that will adjust based on an adjustable bond interest rate applicable
to the tax-exempt bonds. Based on the current adjustable bond interest rate of
5.25%, the aggregate monthly lease payments for the Heritage and Devonshire
facilities would be approximately $414,000. Although the lease agreements will
contain certain restrictions on NPC's ability to refinance such adjustable
rate bonds, the Company's future lease payments for such facilities will be
adjusted to reflect changes in NPC's debt service payments. The lease
agreement for the Devonshire facility will provide that NPC will, subject to
various conditions, fund up to $5.0 million for the cost of the construction
of the proposed skilled nursing facility. Base rent for such facility shall
increase by an amount equal to 10% per annum of the amounts so funded by NPC.
See "Risk Factors--Conflicts of Interest" and "--Lack of Arm's Length
Negotiations" and "Certain Transactions."     
   
  The lease agreements between the Company and NPC will be net operating
leases that will obligate the Company to comply with the terms and conditions
of the underlying bond financing documents for the respective Leased
Facilities. Beginning in 1999, the leases will require the payment of bonus
rent, on a quarterly basis, in amounts equal to 4% of the increase, if any, in
the aggregate gross revenue of the Leased Facilities for such period over the
aggregate gross revenue of the Leased Facilities for the same period during
1998. The lease agreements will contain certain restrictions on the ability of
NPC to sell, refinance or encumber the Leased Facilities or the ownership
interests of NPC and will grant to the Company a right of first offer in the
event NPC desires to sell or transfer any of the Leased Facilities.     
   
  The Company and NPC will enter an agreement whereby NPC will agree to
purchase the Edina Park Plaza and the Hawthorn Lakes facilities substantially
in accordance with the purchase agreements for such facilities assigned to NPC
from PGI and to net lease such facilities to the Company. Such purchase and
lease is subject to the consent of HUD which consent may not be received by
the closing of the Offering, if at all. The Company and NPC will agree to use
their best efforts to obtain the HUD consent and any other appropriate
approvals to effect such purchase and lease. The leases shall be on
substantially the same terms and conditions as the leases for the Devonshire
and Heritage facilities. However, the rent for the Edina Park Plaza facility
will be based on the 8.0% fixed interest rate payable on the HUD guaranteed
loan relating to such facility and the rent for Hawthorn Lakes facility will
be based on the 8.525% fixed interest rate payable on the HUD guaranteed loan
relating to such facility. Although NPC intends to refinance the fixed rate
bonds to adjustable rate bonds, until such refinancing, the monthly rental
rate for the Edina Park Plaza facility will be $200,000 and for the Hawthorn
Lakes facility will be $300,000. Following such refinancing, the rent for
these facilities will be adjusted monthly in accordance with the adjustable
interest rate of the underlying bonds. The earliest dates for refinancing are
December 1, 2001 and January 31, 2001, respectively, for the Edina Park Plaza
and Hawthorn Lakes facilities. The security deposits for the leases of the
Edina Park Plaza and Hawthorn Lakes facilities are $2.4 million and $3.2
million, respectively. The lease agreement for the Hawthorn Lakes facility
will provide that NPC will, subject to various conditions, fund up to $5.0
million for the cost of construction of the proposed 57-unit addition and
other improvements. Base rent for such facility shall increase by an amount
equal to 10% per annum of the amounts so funded by NPC.     
   
  The Company will purchase the Preferred Stock from NPC simultaneously with
the completion of the Offering. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will be
cumulative from the date of issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears at
an annual dividend rate of 12.0% of the amount of the Preferred Stock. The
Preferred Stock will be non-voting unless dividends are not paid in full for
four quarters. In such event, the preferred stockholders of NPC would be
granted voting rights sufficient to elect a majority of the board of directors
of     
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
   
NPC. In addition, the terms of the Preferred Stock will provide that the
affirmative vote of the majority of the holders of the Preferred Stock will be
required to approve the issuance of any additional Preferred Stock and any
amendment to the charter of NPC that would materially and adversely affect any
right, preference or privilege of the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may
be called at any time after three years from the date of issue at par plus any
unpaid dividends through the date of such call. Prior to three years from the
date of issue, the Preferred Stock may be called only with the consent of
Brookdale, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld if the purpose for
such call is the determination by NPC to elect to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
If NPC elects to be taxed as a RElT and does not call the Preferred Stock, the
dividend rate on the Preferred Stock will be increased to an amount sufficient
to provide the Company with the same after-tax return from such dividends
following such election that the Company received prior to such election. See
"Risk Factors--Conflicts of Interest" and "--Lack of Arm's Length Negotiations"
and "Certain Transactions."     
       
       
EMPLOYEES
 
  The Company has approximately 610 employees, of which 23 are employed at the
Company's headquarters. The Company believes employee relations are good.
 
INSURANCE
 
  The provision of personal and health care services entails an inherent risk
of liability. Compared to more institutional long term care facilities, senior
and assisted living residences offer residents a greater degree of independence
in their daily lives. This increased level of independence, however, may
subject the resident and the Company to certain risks that would be reduced in
more institutionalized settings. The Company currently maintains liability
insurance intended to cover such claims which it believes is adequate based on
the nature of the risks, its historical experience and industry standards. See
"Risk Factors--Liability and Insurance."
 
EXECUTIVE OFFICES
 
  The Company's executive office is located in Chicago, Illinois, where the
Company leases approximately 4,500 square feet under an agreement with an
affiliate of PGI. See "Certain Transactions."
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, although the
outcomes of these suits and claims are uncertain, in the aggregate they should
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

a fee for their services as directors. They will receive annual compensation of
$12,000 plus a fee of $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of the Board of
Directors and $500 for attendance at each committee meeting. The members of the
Board will receive reimbursement of all travel and lodging expenses related to
their attendance at both board and committee meetings. The Company anticipates
that it will grant to each non-employee director certain options to purchase
Common Stock. See "--Stock Incentive Plan."     
 
  The Company intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each of the
Company's directors. The indemnification agreements will require, among other
things, that the Company indemnify such directors to the fullest extent
permitted by law, and advance to the directors all related expenses, subject to
reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not
permitted. The Company also must indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by
directors seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements,
and cover directors under the Company's directors' and officers' liability
insurance.
 
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
  The Company was organized in September 1996. Accordingly, the Company did not
pay any cash compensation to its executive officers for the year ended December
31, 1995. The following table sets forth the
 
                                       42

annual base salary expected to be paid to the Company's Chairman of the Board,
Chief Executive Officer and each of the other five most highly compensated
executive officers during the year ending December 31, 1996. In addition, the
Company's executive officers will be eligible to receive cash bonuses and
additional stock options at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors.

(1) In addition to a base salary, these individuals are expected to receive a
    substantial portion of their total compensation from an incentive bonus
    program that for Mr. Whitlock is based on facilities acquired and for Mr.
    Iuppenlatz is based on facilities developed.
 
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
 
  The Company has established a Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive
Plan") for the purpose of attracting and retaining directors, executive
officers and other key employees. Each option granted pursuant to the Stock
Incentive Plan shall be designated at the time of grant as either an "incentive
stock option" or as a "non-qualified stock option."
   
  The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grants of options ("Options") to
purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock. Under the Stock
Incentive Plan, 750,000 shares of Common Stock will be available for grants.
Participants in the Stock Incentive Plan, who may be directors, officers or
employees of the Company or its subsidiaries or Company-owned partnerships,
will be selected by the Compensation Committee. See "--Compensation of
Directors; Indemnification Agreements."     
 
  The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant
incentive stock options at an exercise price to be determined by it, provided
that such price cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date on which the Option is granted. If an incentive stock option
is to be granted to an employee who owns over 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of the Company's stock, then the exercise price may not be
less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock covered by such
option on the day it is granted. The exercise price of non-qualified stock
options may be any price determined by the Compensation Committee.
 
  Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will grant 348,500 Options (the
"Initial Grants") to the following key officers and employees of the Company:
Michael W. Reschke (75,000); Mark J. Schulte (75,000); Craig G. Walczyk
(30,000); Matthew F. Whitlock (30,000); Mark J. Iuppenlatz (30,000); Mary Pat
Scoltock (30,000); Stephan T. Beck (30,000); Sheryl A. Wolf (15,000); Margaret
B. Shontz (15,000); and certain other employees (18,500).
 
  The Initial Grants will vest, subject to certain conditions being met, at the
rate of 25% per year over the next four years commencing on the first
anniversary of their date of grant and will have a term of 10 years. The
exercise price of the Options issued pursuant to the Initial Grants will be the
initial public offering price of the Common Stock. The exercise price for any
Option is generally payable in cash or, in certain circumstances, by the
surrender, at the fair market value on the date on which the Option is
exercised, of shares of Common Stock.
 
  Any unvested Options held by an optionee will automatically be forfeited if
the optionee leaves employment for any reason. Upon a "change in control" (as
defined in the Stock Incentive Plan), all unvested Options will vest. The
rights of any participants to exercise an Option may not be transferred in any
way other than by will or laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order.
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
 
  The Company also anticipates that it will grant an aggregate of 35,000
Options to its non-employee directors that will vest at the rate of 33.3% per
year over the next three years commencing on the first anniversary of their
date of grant and will have a term of ten years. The exercise price of these
Options will be the initial public offering price of the Common Stock. The
exercise price for any of these Options will generally be payable in cash or,
in certain circumstances, by the surrender, at the fair market value on the
date on which the Option is exercised, of shares of Common Stock.
 
  The Compensation Committee may grant options under the Stock Incentive Plan
in substitution for outstanding options with higher exercise prices. In
addition, in the event of certain extraordinary events, the Compensation
Committee may make adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares
reserved for issuance, the number and kind of shares covered by outstanding
awards and the exercise prices specified therein as may be determined to be
appropriate.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  The Company will enter into employment agreements with Messrs. Reschke,
Schulte, Whitlock and Iuppenlatz. These agreements provide that the executive
officers shall devote substantially all of their business time to the operation
of the Company, except Mr. Michael W. Reschke who shall only be required to
devote such time as he deems necessary to fulfill his duties and obligations to
the Company as Chairman of the Board. The agreements establish the initial base
salaries set forth in the executive compensation table and provide for an
initial three year term which is automatically extended for an additional year
after expiration of the initial term and any extension period unless the
Company provides the executive officer with at least 30 days' prior written
notice that such term shall not be extended. If any of the agreements are
terminated by the Company "without cause" (as such term is defined in the
agreements), the executive so terminated will be entitled to a lump sum
payment. With respect to Messrs. Whitlock and Iuppenlatz, such lump sum payment
will be an amount equal to six months base salary. With regard to Messrs.
Reschke and Schulte, such executives will receive a lump sum payment of the
greater of 50% of their base salary for the remainder of the term of their
agreements or an amount equal to their base salary for one year. Messrs.
Reschke and Schulte may terminate their respective agreements and be entitled
to approximately two times their annual compensation in the event of a "change
in control" of the Company and a material diminution of their respective duties
and responsibilities or compensation. In the event any of Messrs. Schulte,
Whitlock and Iuppenlatz voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company,
the executive will have a non-compete agreement for a period of two years. Mr.
Reschke is bound by the non-compete agreement between PGI and the Company. See
"Certain Transactions."

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
   
  The following agreements will be entered in connection with the Formation and
the Offering:     
   
  Formation Agreement. At the Formation and pursuant to a formation agreement
by and among the Company, Mark J. Schulte and PGI (the "Formation Agreement"),
PGI has agreed to transfer to the Company all of its interests in the Hallmark
facility and the operations relating to the Original Facilities. In return for
such contribution, the Company will exchange 3,928,750 shares of its Common
Stock and pay $12.0 million in cash from the net proceeds of the Offering to
retire certain indebtedness secured by a pledge of cash flow from the Hallmark
facility and will assume certain indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $34.4
million. The Company has assumed or agreed to assume all the liabilities of the
Hallmark Facility and the operations relating to the Original Facilities. In
accordance with the Formation Agreement, Mark J. Schulte will transfer all of
his interests in the Hallmark facility and the operations relating to the
Original Facilities to the Company in exchange for 571,250 shares of Common
Stock from the Company. Except as expressly set forth in the Formation
Agreement with regard to title, liens, claims and certain other items and PGI's
representations that the Original Facilities have been operated in the ordinary
course since September 30, 1996, no party is making any representation or
warranty as to the assets, businesses or liabilities transferred or assumed as
part of the Formation, as to any consents or approvals required in connection
therewith, as to the value thereof or as to freedom from counterclaim with
respect to any claim of any party. Except as expressly set forth in the
Formation Agreement, all assets are being transferred on an "as is, where is"
basis. In the Formation Agreement, PGI has agreed that operations relating to
the Original Facilities will have unrestricted cash of $2.0 million at the time
of the Formation. Any amounts of unrestricted cash in excess of $2.0 million
will be distributed to PGI as partner distributions from the Original
Facilities simultaneously with the completion of the Offering. See "Risk
Factors--Conflicts of Interest," "--Lack of Arms Length Negotiations" and "--
Benefits to Affiliates" and "The Company and the Formation."     
 
  The Company will indemnify PGI and its affiliates against certain losses,
claims, damages or liabilities including those arising out of: (i) any
inaccurate representation or breach of warranty by the Company under the
Formation Agreement; and (ii) any indebtedness, lease, contract or other
obligation assumed by the Company pursuant to the Formation Agreement. The
Company will also indemnify PGI, as a controlling person, against any loss,
claim, damage or liability arising out of the Offering, except for losses,
claims, damages or liabilities arising from the inaccuracy of information
supplied in writing by PGI for inclusion in this Prospectus. PGI will similarly
indemnify the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to any inaccurate
representation or breach of warranty by PGI under the Formation Agreement.
   
  Investment in and Lease Agreements with NPC. The Company will purchase the
Preferred Stock of NPC for $22.4 million and will enter net lease agreements
with NPC for the Heritage and the Devonshire facilities. In addition, the
Company will enter into an agreement with NPC to net lease the Edina Park Plaza
and the Hawthorn Lakes facilities as soon as NPC acquires such facilities. See
"Risk Factors--Conflicts of Interest," "--Lack of Arms Length Negotiations,"
"--Uncertainty of Proposed Acquisitions by NPC" and "--Benefits to Affiliates",
"The Company and the Formation" and "Use of Proceeds."     
          
  Registration Rights Agreement. The Company will grant demand and incidental
registration rights to PGI for the registration of shares of Common Stock owned
by PGI under the Securities Act. See "Description of Capital Stock--
Registration Rights Agreement."     
   
  Voting Agreement. PGI will enter a Voting Agreement pursuant to which it will
agree to vote all of its shares of Common Stock at any meeting at which
directors are elected in favor of the election of independent directors so that
after such election, if such persons are elected, there will be at least four
independent directors. The Voting Agreement will continue in effect until the
earlier of three years from the date of the Offering and the date PGI first
owns less than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock.     
   
  Non-Compete Agreements. The Company, PGI and Mr. Reschke will enter a Non-
Compete Agreement that will prevent PGI and Mr. Reschke from developing,
acquiring, owning or operating senior and assisting living     
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
 
   
facilities and semi-acute care facilities in the United States for a period
expiring on the earlier of (i) four years from the date of the Offering and
(ii) one year from the date of a merger of the Company or the sale of all or
substantially all of the stock or assets of the Company; however, PGI will be
permitted to maintain its ownership interest in the Island on Lake Travis
facility. In addition, to the extent PGI or Mr. Reschke were to acquire a group
of properties that included facilities similar to those operated by the
Company, then the Company would have the right and opportunity to purchase such
similar facilities at a price equal to their fair market value. PGI and Mr.
Reschke will be allowed to provide debt or lease financing for properties that
are similar to the facilities owned or managed by the Company. NPC will be
allowed to own or finance facilities leased to the Company and facilities
managed by third parties that are similar to the facilities owned or managed by
the Company so long as either the Company determines not to acquire or lease
such facilities or such facilities are then owned or under contract with a
third party that will manage such facility. See "Risk Factors--Conflicts of
Interest" and "--Lack of Arm's Length Negotiations."     
 
  Management Agreement. The Company and PGI will enter a management agreement
for a term of two years with respect to the Island on Lake Travis facility. The
Company will be paid a monthly fee of 5.0% of the gross revenues of such
facility for each month and reimbursement of expenses. The management agreement
may be terminated by PGI only for cause as set forth in the management
agreement during its initial term and upon 60 days' prior written notice at any
time after the expiration of the initial term. The Company may terminate the
management agreement at any time upon 60 days' advance notice.
   
  Space Sharing Agreement. The Company and an affiliate of PGI will enter a
Space Sharing Agreement for office space located at 77 West Wacker Drive in
Chicago, Illinois to be used as headquarters for the Company. The Agreement
will have an initial term of four months and thereafter may be extended in
increments of two-month terms for up to 12 additional months, at a base rental
rate of approximately $8,800 per month plus pro rata share of real estate taxes
and operating expenses.     
   
  In the future, transactions between the Company and its officers, directors,
principal stockholders and their affiliates will require the approval of a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

<PAGE>
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
   
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate")
provides that the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Preferred Stock"). Upon completion of the Offering, 10,125,000 shares of
Common Stock will be issued and outstanding (10,968,750 shares if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), and no shares of
Preferred Stock will be issued or outstanding.     
 
COMMON STOCK
 
  Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The Certificate does not provide
for cumulative voting, and, accordingly, the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect
all of the directors standing for election. The Certificate provides that
whenever there is paid, or declared and set aside for payment, to the holders
of the outstanding shares of any class of stock having preference over the
Common Stock as to the payment of dividends, the full amount of dividends and
of sinking fund or retirement fund or other retirement payments, if any, to
which such holders are entitled, then dividends may be paid on the Common Stock
out of any assets legally available therefor, but only when and as declared by
the Board of Directors. The Certificate also provides that in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after there is paid to
or set aside for the holders of any class of stock having preference over the
Common Stock the full amount to which such holders are entitled and after
payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Company,
the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the remaining
assets of the Company available for distribution, in cash or in kind. The
holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or
conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common
Stock will be subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series
of Preferred Stock that the Company may issue in the future.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
   
  The Certificate provides that the Board of Directors of the Company is
authorized to issue Preferred Stock in series and to fix and state the voting
powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional
or other special rights of the shares of each such series and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. Such action may be taken
by the Board without stockholder approval. Under the Certificate, each share of
each series of Preferred Stock is to have the same relative rights as, and be
identical in all respects with, all other shares of the same series. While
providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, the issuance of Preferred Stock, among other things,
could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock and,
under certain circumstances, be used as a means of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company. There will be no shares of
Preferred Stock outstanding upon completion of the Offering, and the Company
has no present plan to issue shares of its Preferred Stock.     
 
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
  Limitations of Director Liability. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("DGCL") authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the
personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of directors' fiduciary duty of care. Although
Section 102(b)(7) does not change directors' duty of care, it enables
corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction
or rescission. The Certificate limits the liability of directors to the Company
or its stockholders to the full extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).
Specifically, directors of the Company are not personally liable for monetary
damages to the Company or its stockholders for breach of the director's
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
                                       48
<PAGE>
 
  Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the By-laws provide
for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers of the Company against
any expense, liability and loss to which they may become subject, or which they
may incur as a result of being or having been a director or officer of the
Company. In addition, the Company must advance or reimburse directors and
officers for expenses incurred by them in connection with indemnifiable claims.
 
  The Company also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.
 
CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
  Upon completion of the Offering, the Certificate and the By-laws will
contain, among other things, certain provisions described below that may reduce
the likelihood of a change in the Board of Directors or voting control of the
Company without the consent of the Board of Directors. These provisions could
have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing tender offers or
takeover attempts that some or a majority of the stockholders might consider to
be in the stockholders' best interest, including offers or attempts that might
result in payment of a premium over the market price for the Common Stock.
   
  Classification of Board of Directors. The Certificate and the By-laws of the
Company divide the Board of Directors into three classes, designated Class I,
Class II and Class III, respectively, each class to be as nearly equal in
number as possible. The term of Class I, Class II and Class III directors will
expire at the 1997, 1998 and 1999 annual meetings of stockholders,
respectively, and in all cases directors elected will serve until their
respective successors are elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of
stockholders, directors will be elected to succeed those in the class whose
terms then expire, each elected director to serve for a term expiring at the
third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after such director's election,
and until the director's successor is elected and qualified. Thus, only one-
third of the directors stand for re-election each year, requiring at least two
stockholders' meetings at which directors are elected to replace a majority of
the Board.     
 
  Filling of Board Vacancies; Removal. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of
Directors, including any vacancy created by an increase in the number of
directors, shall be filled for the unexpired term by the concurring vote of a
majority of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, and any
director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the
class in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and
until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified.
Directors may only be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders
of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock then entitled
to vote at an election of directors.
       
  Stockholder Action by Unanimous Written Consent. Any action required or
permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called
annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any
consent in writing by such holders, unless such consent is unanimous.
   
  Call of Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders may be called at
any time but only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the
Chief Executive Officer, the President or stockholders possessing at least 25%
of the voting power of the issued and outstanding voting stock entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors.     
   
  By-laws Amendments. The stockholders may amend the By-laws by the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of stock
of the Company entitled to vote thereon. Directors may also amend the By-laws
by a two-thirds vote of the directors then in office.     
 
  Certificate Amendments. Except as set forth in the Certificate or as
otherwise specifically required by law, no amendment of any provision of the
Certificate shall be made unless such amendment has been first proposed by the
Board of Directors upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the
directors then in office and thereafter approved by the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the
Company entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, if such amendment is to
the provisions described
 
                                       49
<PAGE>
 
   
above or the provisions in the Certificate relating to the decrease in the
authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, Board authority to issue
Preferred Stock, the removal or decreasing of the limitation on directors'
liability or the amendment of the By-laws or stockholder meeting matters, such
amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon.     
 
  Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. With certain exceptions, the By-laws
require that stockholders intending to present nominations for directors or
other business for consideration at a meeting of stockholders notify the
Company's Secretary by the later of 60 days before the date of the meeting and
15 days after the date notice of the meeting is mailed or public notice of the
meeting is given.
 
  Certain Statutory Provisions. Section 203 of the DGCL provides, in general,
that a stockholder acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding voting shares of
a corporation subject to the statute (an "Interested Stockholder"), but less
than 85% of such shares, may not engage in certain "Business Combinations" with
the corporation for a period of three years subsequent to the date on which the
stockholder became an Interested Stockholder unless (i) before such person
became an Interested Stockholder, the corporation's board of directors approved
either the Business Combination or the transaction in which the stockholder
became in Interested Stockholder or (ii) the Business Combination is approved
by the corporation's board of directors and authorized by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the
Interested Stockholder.
 
  Section 203 defines the term "Business Combination" to encompass a wide
variety of transactions with or caused by an Interested Stockholder in which
the Interested Stockholder receives or could receive a benefit on other than a
pro rata basis with other stockholders, including mergers, certain asset sales,
certain issuances of additional shares to the Interested Stockholder,
transactions with the corporation which increase the proportionate interest of
the Interested Stockholder or a transaction in which the Interested Stockholder
receives certain other benefits.
 
  Pursuant to a Board resolution adopted at the time of formation of the
Company, the Section 203 limits do not apply to any "Business Combination"
between the Company and PGI.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
   
  The Company has granted demand and incidental registration rights to PGI for
the registration of shares of Common Stock owned by PGI under the Securities
Act. Three demand registrations are permitted during the first five years
following the initial public offering of the Common Stock and one registration
per year each year thereafter until PGI owns less than 10% of the outstanding
Common Stock. The Company will pay the fees and expenses of the demand
registrations and the incidental registrations, while PGI will pay all
underwriting discounts and commissions. These registration rights are subject
to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of underwriters to
limit the number of shares owned by PGI included in such registration.     
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is LaSalle National
Trust, N.A.
 
                                       50
<PAGE>
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock,
and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of
shares or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market
price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial
amounts of Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could
adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock and the
ability of the Company to raise capital through a sale of its securities.
   
  Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 10,125,000 shares of
Common Stock outstanding, (10,968,750 shares if the Underwriters' over-
allotment option is exercised in full). Of those shares, the 5,625,000 shares
sold in the Offering (6,468,750 shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) will be freely tradeable without restriction
(except as to affiliates of the Company) or further registration under the
Securities Act. The remaining 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding will
be restricted securities ("Restricted Securities") within the meaning of Rule
144 under the Securities Act.     
 
  In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act as currently in effect, a
person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned
Restricted Securities for at least two years, and including the holding period
of any prior owner unless such prior owner is an affiliate, would be entitled
to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed
the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average
weekly trading volume of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market during
the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also
subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the
availability of current public information about the Company. Any person (or
persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an
affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months preceding a sale,
and who has beneficially owned shares for at least three years (including any
period of ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders), would be entitled to
sell such shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitations,
manner of sale provisions, public information requirements or notice
requirements. An "affiliate" is a person that directly, or indirectly through
one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or under common
control with, such issuer.
 
  Rule 144A under the Securities Act as currently in effect generally permits
unlimited resales of certain Restricted Securities of any issuer provided that
the purchaser is a qualified institution that owns and invests on a
discretionary basis at least $100 million in securities (and in the case of a
bank or savings and loan association, has a net worth of at least $25 million)
or is a registered broker-dealer that owns and invests on a discretionary basis
at least $10 million in securities. Rule 144A allows PGI to sell its shares of
Common Stock to such institutions and registered broker-dealers without regard
to any volume or other restrictions. There can be no assurance that the
availability of such resale exemption will not have an adverse effect on the
trading price of the Common Stock.
   
  The Company, its directors, executive officers and certain key employees and
PGI have agreed not to offer to sell, sell, distribute, grant any option to
purchase, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by them prior to the expiration
of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus, except (i) with the prior written
consent of DLJ, (ii) in the case of the Company, the grant of options to
purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company's Stock Incentive Plan, and
(iii) for the sale of shares in the Offering. PGI may sell all 3,928,750 of its
shares of Common Stock subject to the volume and other limitations of Rule 144
after the expiration of the two-year holding period of Rule 144. The Commission
has proposed an amendment to Rule 144 under the Securities Act which, if
adopted as currently proposed, would reduce the holding periods set forth in
Rule 144 by one year.     
 
  PGI has the right to include its shares in any future registration of
securities effected by the Company under the Securities Act, subject to the
right of any underwriter in such offering requiring PGI to reduce the number of
shares PGI otherwise has the right to have included in such registration. If
the Company is required to register
 
                                       51
<PAGE>
 
shares held by PGI pursuant to the exercise of its registration rights, such
sales may have an adverse effect on the Company's stock price and its ability
to raise needed capital. See "Risk Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale,"
"Principal Stockholders" and "Description of Capital Stock--Registration Rights
Agreement."
   
  The Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities Act
registering the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise
of options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. See "Management--Stock
Incentive Plan." This registration statement is expected to be filed soon after
the date of this Prospectus and will become effective automatically upon
filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statement will
be available for sale in the open market, unless such shares are subject to
vesting restrictions with the Company and except to the extent that the holders
of such options are subject to the 180-day lock-up agreements described above.

  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby are subject to approval of certain legal matters by counsel and
to certain other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay
for all the shares of Common Stock offered hereby (other than the shares of
the Common Stock covered by the over-allotment option described below) if any
are taken.
 
  Prior to the Offering, there has been no established trading market for the
shares of Common Stock. The initial price to the public for the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby has been determined by negotiation between the
Company and the Representatives. The factors considered in determining the
initial price to the public include the history of and the prospects for the
industry in which the Company competes, the past and present operations of the
Company, the historical results of operations of the Company, the prospects
for future earnings of the Company, the recent market prices of securities of
generally comparable companies and the general condition of the securities
markets at the time of the Offering.
   
  The Underwriting Agreement contains covenants of indemnity among the
Underwriters and the Company against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.     
 
  The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose to offer the
shares of Common Stock to the public initially at the price to the public set
forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers (who may
include the Underwriters) at such price less a concession not to exceed $
per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, discounts
not in excess of $    per share to any other Underwriter and certain other
dealers.
   
  The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30
days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of
843,750 additional shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price
less underwriting discounts and commissions, solely to cover over-allotments.
To the extent that the Underwriters exercise such option, each of the
Underwriters will be committed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase
approximately the same percentage of such additional shares as the number of
shares set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in the preceding table bears
to the total number of shares offered.     
 
  The Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of shares of Common Stock to
any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.
   
  Subject to certain exceptions, the Company, its directors, executive
officers and certain key employees and PGI have agreed not to offer, sell,
contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible or exchangeable into any shares of Common Stock prior
to the expiration of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus, without the
prior written consent of DLJ. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

  At the request of the Company, up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock offered
hereby have been reserved for sale to certain individuals, including directors
and employees of the Company and PGI and members of their families. The price
of such shares to such persons will be the initial public offering price set
forth on the cover page hereof less underwriting discounts and commissions. The
number of shares available to the general public will be reduced to the extent
those persons purchase reserved shares. Any shares not so purchased will be
offered hereby at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this
Prospectus.
 
  In connection with structuring certain proposed credit facilities to be
entered into by the Company, DLJ will receive a structuring fee of $150,000.

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   
  The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet of the Company is
presented as if, at September 30, 1996, the Company had sold 5,625,000 shares
of its common stock at a sale price of $16 per share, issued 4,500,000 shares
of its common stock to PGI and management, acquired owned or leased interests
in the Original Facilities, the Activelife Facilities and the Gables at
Brighton facility and had invested in the preferred stock of National Property
Company, Inc. (NPC) as described under "Use of Proceeds". The unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations for the year ended December
31, 1995 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are presented as if
the above transactions occurred as of January 1, 1995. The unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Condensed financial statements of the Company should be read in
conjunction with all of the financial statements contained elsewhere in the
Prospectus. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of the Formation and Offering have been made.     
   
  The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet and Statements of
Operations of the Company are not necessarily indicative of what the actual
financial position or results of operations would have been assuming the
Formation and Offering had occurred at the dates indicated above, nor do they
purport to represent the future financial position or results of operations of
the Company.     
   
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements of NPC have been
presented as if NPC existed as of January 1, 1995, the Leased Facilities had
been contributed or acquired by NPC and leased to the Company under operating
leases and the Company had acquired shares of NPC's preferred stock as
described under "The Company and the Formation." The unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1996 and Condensed Statements of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 of NPC are not necessarily indicative of what the actual
financial position and results of operations would have been assuming the
above transactions had occurred at the date indicated above, nor do they
purport to represent the future financial position or results of operations of
NPC.

      be recognized through future depreciation of the basis
      difference. The realization of the deferred tax asset is

      basis difference. Management estimates that the Company will
      generate sufficient future taxable income to recognize the
      tax benefit of the future depreciation. Management's estimate
      of future income is based upon the improved operations of the
      Original Facilities and additional income generated by the
      Company's expansion of operations described in the
      Registration Statement. The recognition of the future

  *The Company has determined that the estimated useful lives of buildings to
  be 45 years and furniture and equipment to be 5 years, as compared to 40
  years and 3-12 years, respectively used by the Original Facilities. This
  change was made to better reflect the estimated periods during which such
  assets will remain in service. For financial statement reporting purposes,
  the above will be recorded prospectively as a change in estimate for the
  Original Facilities. Depreciation expense included in the "Pro Forma As

 (i) Income (loss) before income taxes:
     The income (loss) before income taxes presented in the
      historical statements of operations of the Original
      Facilities is before minority interest (1995 and 1996) and
      the extraordinary item relating to the gain on
      extinguishment of debt (1995) and represents income (loss)
      from continuing operations. The
     minority interest is not included due to the interest being
     acquired in conjunction with the Formation and Offering and
     the extraordinary item is not included due to the non-
     recurring nature of the transaction.
 (j) Pro forma net loss per share is based upon the number of
      common shares issued consisting of the 4,500 shares issued
      to PGI and management in exchange for their interest in the
      Original Facilities plus the issuance of all 5,625 shares in

 (k) In order for NPC to consummate the

      (Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza), NPC
      must obtain the consent of the United

      Development to such transfer. If such
      consent is not obtained and such two
      facilities are not acquired NPC and leased
      to the Company, the Company's pro forma as
      adjusted total revenue, operating income,
      and net loss would be $28,104, $3,068, and
      $1,394 for the year ended December 31, 1995
      and pro forma as adjusted total revenue
      operating income and net loss would be

1. ORGANIZATION
   
  Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in
Delaware under the Delaware General Corporation Law on September 4, 1996. The
Company was formed in order to consolidate and expand the Original Facilities
owned by The Prime Group, Inc. and its affiliates ("PGI"). In connection with
a proposed public offering (the "Offering") more fully described elsewhere in
this Registration Statement and Prospectus, the Company will sell shares of
its common stock to the public and PGI will contribute its interests in The
Hallmark Limited Partnership in exchange for 3,928,750 shares of common stock
of the Company.     
 
2. DEFERRED COSTS
 
  As of September 30, 1996, PGI has incurred approximately $789,000 of legal,
accounting and related costs on behalf of the Company in connection with the
Offering which have been presented as deferred offering costs on the balance
sheet. These costs, in addition to offering costs incurred after September 30,
1996 through the date the Offering, will be deducted from the gross proceeds
of the Offering.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors of
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
   
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Original
Facilities as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30, 1996 and the
related combined statements of operations, changes in partners' capital
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Original Facilities'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.     
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Original
Facilities at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30, 1996, and the
combined results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   
  The Original Facilities represent a combination of three partnerships
described below ("Partnerships") that own, operate, and manage assisted living
facilities ("Properties") in the greater Chicagoland area. The Properties are
under common management and ownership of The Prime Group, Inc. and its
affiliates ("PGI") as either the managing general partner (responsible for the
operations of the Properties) or 100% owner. Two of the Properties have a
third party owner ("Third Party"), whose ownership interests have been
reflected as a minority interest in the combined financial statements.
Pursuant to the formation transactions more fully described elsewhere in this
Registration Statement and Prospectus, the Original Facilities will be
operated (owned or leased) by a newly formed corporation, Brookdale Living
Communities, Inc. (the "Company"), whose shares are being registered pursuant
to this Registration Statement.     
 
  The Partnerships and Properties owned and operated by the Original
Facilities are as follows:
 
<TABLE>

                  PARTNERSHIP                       PROPERTY

      River Oaks Partners                        The Heritage
      Hallmark Partners, L.P.                    The Hallmark
</TABLE>
   
  Included in the combined financial statements are the operations of The
Devonshire (Partnership ownership-PGI: 25% managing general partner interest,
Third Party: 50% general partner interest and 25% limited partner interest)
and The Heritage (Partnership ownership-PGI: 50% managing general partner
interest and Third Party: 50% general partner interest) from January 1, 1993,
(The Heritage was constructed by PGI and began operations in September 1993)
and the operations of the Hallmark from June 1, 1994 (The Hallmark facility
was purchased by Hallmark Partners, L.P., a newly formed partnership 100%
owned by PGI, on June 1, 1994 for $41.6 million. On an unaudited pro-forma
basis for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 combined revenue would
have increased by approximately $5.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively
and combined net loss would have increased by approximately $3.8 million and
$1.0 million, respectively, in the combined statements of operations had the
Hallmark been owned by PGI since January 1, 1993).     
 
  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in combination.
 
RESIDENT FEE REVENUE
 
  Resident fee revenue is recorded when services are rendered and consist of
fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with additional
services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
  At December 31, 1994, the Properties were carried at cost which was not in
excess of net realizable value as determined by management. In March 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
under which the Partnerships would be required to recognize impairment losses
for the Properties when indicators of impairment are present and the
Properties' expected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the
Properties' carrying value. The Partnerships adopted Statement No. 121
effective January 1, 1995 with no impact on the accompanying combined
financial statements.
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations
as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve and/or
extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their
estimated useful life. Interest and other direct costs incurred during
construction periods are capitalized as a component of the building cost.
 
  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets, which are as follows:

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
DEFERRED COSTS
 
  Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the mortgage notes and bonds. Deferred marketing costs, consisting
primarily of the costs of the marketing facilities, were amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated lease up period of 22 months through
June 1995 when they were fully amortized.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Partnerships pay no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Partnerships is includable on the respective federal income tax returns of the
partners.
 
  The Partnerships net basis of real estate assets as reported in the
financial statements exceeds the basis used for federal income tax purposes by
approximately $2.4 million due to the use of accelerated depreciation methods
for federal income tax purposes.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the combined financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
 
  The interim financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such interim data includes
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of the combined results of operations and cash flows
for the period.
 
PRO FORMA PRESENTATION (UNAUDITED)
 
  The pro forma net income per share for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were determined based upon 3.875
million shares of common stock issued by the Company to PGI in exchange for
its ownership in the Original Facilities.
 
  The pro forma (provision) benefit for income taxes for the Original
Facilities is based on the historical combined financial data of the Original
Facilities as if the entities comprising the Original Facilities had operated
as taxable corporations for all periods presented and is recorded at the
federal and state statutory rates in effect during the period (40%).
 
2. CASH--RESTRICTED
 
  The Heritage and The Hallmark have Life Care Escrow deposits required under
the Illinois Life Care Facility Act Section 7(b) equal to six months of debt
service payments. The Life Care Escrow will be funded from time to time in
accordance with a schedule provided by the Illinois Department of Public
Health. The amount on deposit at December 31, 1994 and 1995 was $384,393 and
$652,503 respectively and at September 30, 1996 was $877,351.
 
  In accordance with the new mortgage note payable described in Note 5, The
Hallmark is required to maintain escrow deposits for real estate taxes,
repairs, and other operating activities. The total of all escrow accounts at
December 31, 1995 was $1,080,351 and at September 30, 1996 was $324,241.
 
  Included in restricted cash at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30,
1996 is $856,047, $885,151, and $906,605, respectively of restricted bond
proceeds. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 148(f), The

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Heritage was required to rebate to the United States government any interest
earnings in excess of the interest cost of the Bond proceeds not yet used for
Project costs. During 1995, the Partnership paid $806,418 (included in cash-
restricted and accounts payable at December 31, 1994) to the United States
government as a final settlement of its arbitrage rebate payable. No amounts
were paid in 1993 or 1994.

(A) The mortgage note payable is collateralized by The Hallmark's real estate.
(B) The Hallmark repaid $32,967,418 of this note as a final settlement on
    December 18, 1995 from proceeds of the above mentioned mortgage note
    payable which resulted in an extraordinary gain of $3,274,207.
(C) Permanent financing for the development for The Devonshire and The
    Heritage has been provided by $65,000,000 (The Devonshire--$33,000,000;
    The Heritage--$32,000,000) of tax-exempt Qualified Residential Rental
    Bonds (the "Bonds"). The Bonds mature on December 15, 2019 and December
    15, 2025.
  Under the terms of the bond loan agreement, The Devonshire and The Heritage
  are to make interest-only payments monthly, calculated using a floating
  rate determined by the Remarketing Agent of the Bonds. The rates ranged
  from 1.90% to 5.25% during 1993, 1.65% to 5.50% during 1994, 2.55% to 5.20%
  during 1995 and 2.30% to 4.40% during the nine months ended September 30,
  1996. The rates at December 31, 1994 were 4.95% and 5.10%, December 31,
  1995 were 5.05% and 5.20%, and September 30, 1996 were 3.80% and 3.90%.
  The maximum annual interest rate on the Bonds is 15%. Under certain
  conditions, the interest rate on the Bonds may be converted to a fixed rate
  at the request of the respective Partnership.

  The Bonds are collateralized by irrevocable letters of credit issued by
  various banks in the aggregate amount of $66,714,699 (the "Letters of
  Credit") that expire December, 1996 and March, 1997. A Letter of Credit fee
  of .5% per annum of the stated amount of the Letters of Credit is due
  quarterly in advance. The Letters of Credit with the various banks are
  collateralized by separate Standby Purchase Agreements entered into with
  the Third Party to reimburse the banks for any funds drawn on the Letters
  of Credit. The Letters of Credit and Standby Purchase Agreements are
  collateralized by mortgages on The Devonshire and The Heritage. The due
  dates of the bonds would be accelerated upon the expiration of the Letters
  of Credit and Standby Purchase Agreements unless they are extended or
  replaced. However, The Devonshire and The Heritage have entered into
  separate Standby Bond Purchase and Indemnity Agreements (the "Agreements")
  with the Third Party pursuant to which the Third Party agrees to provide
  standby credit enhancement to issuers of replacement Letters of Credit or,
  if replacement Letters of Credit are not obtained, to buy the bonds. The
  Agreements expire on March 22, 1998. If the Third Party buys the bonds
  pursuant to the Agreements, The Devonshire and The Heritage would be
  required to buy the bonds from the Third Party on March 22, 1998. PGI has
  provided the Third Party with certain collateral totaling $2,220,000 to
  secure the obligations of The Devonshire under the Agreements with the
  Third Party. Beginning in 1995, the Partnerships are subject to annual base
  fees related to the Letters of Credit and Standby Purchase Agreements equal
  approximately 1.35% of the base value. The Partnerships incurred fees of
  $452,654, $743,002 and $877,500 during the years ended December 31, 1993,
  1994 and 1995 respectively, and $792,304 (unaudited) and $694,511 during
  the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.     
     
  Each bondholder may tender bonds on any business day and receive a price
  equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest through the
  tender date. Upon tender, the Remarketing Agent shall immediately remarket
  the Bonds on a best-efforts basis. In the event the Remarketing Agent fails
  to remarket any bonds, the partnerships are obligated to purchase those
  bonds, for which they may draw on the Letters of Credit.     
 
  Included in interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994
is $205,243 and $117,318, respectively, of interest expense related to a
$2,510,081 note payable to an affiliate that was repaid in 1994. The note
payable bore interest at 10% per annum.
 
  Interest expense is stated net of interest income of $56,974, $155,608 and
$118,642 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively
and $71,259 (unaudited) and $90,144 for the nine months ended September 30,

5. TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING
 
  The Heritage is located in a redevelopment area designated by a local
municipality as a tax incremental financing district ("TIF"). Under the terms
of the redevelopment agreement, The Heritage is eligible to receive up to
$1,136,889 for all eligible development costs, as defined through a Tax
Incremental Financing Bond ("Bond"). The Bond matures on December 1, 2007 and
bears interest at 10%, with principal and interest payable annually on each
December 1. The Bond is subject to optional redemption in whole, or in part,
at any time, at a redemption price equal to the principal outstanding at the
date redeemed. The Bond is subject to mandatory redemption, in part, by the
application of annual sinking fund installments by the municipality on each
December 1 thereafter, at a redemption price equal to the principal
outstanding at the date redeemed. The Bond is payable solely from real estate
tax incremental revenues and certain sales tax receipts generated in the TIF.
Payments are to be made to the extent of available TIF revenues. The
insufficiency of TIF revenues generated in the redevelopment area for any
given year shall not be considered a default in payment, but all past due
amounts shall be a continuing obligation payable from future TIF revenues. Any
unpaid amounts including interest, at maturity, will be forgiven. As the
collectibility of the bond principal and interest is dependent upon sufficient
revenues being generated in the redevelopment area, revenue is recognized by
The Heritage when principal and interest are received. For the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995, The Heritage received principal and
interest payments totaling $77,906, $144,389 and $144,089, respectively. No
payments were received during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1996.
 
6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
 
  In August 1994, PGI established 401(k) plans for all employees that meet
minimum employment criteria. The plans provide that the participants may defer
up to 15% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis subject to certain
maximum amounts. The Partnerships will contribute an additional 25% of the
employee's contribution to the plan, up to $500 per employee per annum.
Employees are always 100% vested in their own contributions and vested in
Partnerships contributions over five years. The Partnership made contributions

  In September 1996, The Devonshire and The Heritage made advances to PGI in
the amount of $4,058,959 which PGI used as an escrow deposit to acquire The
Third Party's interest in the two partnerships pursuant to the formation
transactions more fully described elsewhere in this Registration Statement and
Prospectus. The advances are non-interest bearing and have been reflected as a
reduction of partners' deficit in the combined financial statements.
 
8. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Cash, cash-restricted and variable rate and fixed rate mortgage notes
payable are reflected in the accompanying combined balance sheets at amounts
considered by management to reasonably approximate fair value. Management
estimates the fair value of its long-term fixed rate notes payable generally
using discounted cash flow analysis based upon the Original Facilities'
current borrowing rate for debt with similar maturities.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors of
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Activelife
Facilities as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30, 1996 and the
related combined statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit and
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995 and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Activelife Facilities' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Activelife
Facilities at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and September 30, 1996, and the
combined results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   
  The Activelife Facilities ("Activelife") represents a combination of three
partnerships described below ("Partnerships") that own, operate, and manage
assisted living facilities ("Properties"). The Properties are under the common
management of Activelife Management Corporation ("AMC"). Certain principals of
AMC also have ownership interests in the Partnerships. Pursuant to the
formation transactions more fully described elsewhere in this Registration
Statement and Prospectus, the Activelife Facilities will be operated (owned or
leased) by a newly formed corporation Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. (the
"Company"), whose shares are being registered pursuant to this Registration
Statement.     
 
  The Partnerships and Properties owned and operated by AMC are as follows:
 
<TABLE>

              PARTNERSHIP                      PROPERTY              LOCATION

 nership                                 Hawthorn Lakes       Vernon Hills, Illinois
</TABLE>    
   
  The Partnerships maintain their books and records on the basis of accounting
used for federal income tax purposes. The differences between federal income
tax basis and generally accepted accounting principles affecting the
Partnerships relate to differences in the basis of real estate assets and the
use of accelerated depreciation methods with shorter depreciable lives used
for federal income tax basis, resulting in the net book value of real estate
assets being approximately $15.3 million lower for federal income tax basis.
    
  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in combination.
 
RESIDENT FEES REVENUE
 
  Resident fees revenue is recorded when services are rendered and consist of
fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with additional
services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
   
  At December 31, 1994 and 1995, the Properties were carried at cost which was
not in excess of net realizable value as determined by management. In March
1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of," under which the Partnerships would be required to recognize
impairment losses for the Properties when indicators of impairment are present
and the Properties' expected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to
recover the Properties' carrying value. The Partnerships adopted Statement No.
121 effective January 1, 1996 with no impact on the accompanying combined
financial statements.     
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations
as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve and/or
extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their
estimated useful life.
 
  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets, which are as follows:

      Buildings...................................................... 40 years
      Building improvements and furniture and equipment.............. 5-10 years

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
  The Partnerships consider all cash accounts and money market funds and
certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
DEFERRED FINANCING FEES
 
  Deferred financing fees are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the mortgage notes payable.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Partnerships pay no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Partnerships is includable on the respective federal income tax returns of the
partners.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the combined financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
 
  The interim financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such interim data includes
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of the combined results of operations and cash flows
for the period.
 
2. CASH--RESTRICTED
 
  In accordance with mortgage note payable agreements described in Note 3, the
Partnerships are required to maintain escrow deposits for real estate taxes,
repairs, and other operating activities.
 
3. LONG-TERM DEBT

(C) In February 1994, the mortgage note payable was refinanced resulting in an
    extraordinary loss on extinguishment of debt of $304,407.
(D) The Elderly Housing Interest Reduction Agreement (arising out of tax
    increment financing) between the HRA and the Partnership provides that the
    HRA will make loans upon request of the Partnership in monthly
    installments to the Partnership totaling $170,000 each year for a period
    of 20 years, commencing in 1987, for the payment of interest on the
    mortgage note payable issued by HRA. The loan bears interest at the
    greater of 12-1/2% simple interest per annum or the statutory minimum, as
    defined, and shall be payable with interest at maturity. Included in the
    balance is accrued interest of $616,338 and $789,112 at December 31, 1994
    and 1995, respectively and $932,417 at September 30, 1996. Advances plus
    all unpaid interest are payable in one installment due 20 years after the
    anniversary date of the last payment request on the loan.

5. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Cash and cash equivalents, cash-restricted and fixed rate mortgage notes
payable are reflected in the accompanying combined balance sheets at amounts
considered by management to reasonably approximate fair value. Management
estimates the fair value of its long-term fixed rate notes payable generally
using discounted cash flow analysis based upon AMC's current borrowing rate
for debt with similar maturities.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Gables at Brighton
Associates (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996
and the related statements of income, changes in partners' capital and cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Gables at Brighton
Associates at December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   
  Gables at Brighton Associates (the "Partnership") is a general partnership
that owns, operates, and manages an assisted living facility known as The
Gables at Brighton ("Property") located in Rochester, New York. Pursuant to
the formation transactions more fully described elsewhere in this Registration
Statement and Prospectus, the Property will be acquired by a newly formed
corporation, Brookdale Living Communities, Inc., whose shares are being
registered pursuant to this Registration Statement.     
 
RESIDENT FEE REVENUE
 
  Resident fee revenue is recorded when services are rendered and consist of
fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with additional
services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
  At December 31, 1995, the Property was carried at cost which was not in
excess of net realizable value as determined by management. In March 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
under which the Partnership would be required to recognize impairment losses
for the Property when indicators of impairment are present and the Property's
expected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the Property's
carrying value. The Partnership adopted Statement No. 121 effective January 1,
1996 with no impact on the accompanying financial statements.
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations
as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve and/or
extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their
estimated useful life. Interest incurred during construction periods is
capitalized as a component of the building cost.
 
  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets, which are as follows:
 
<TABLE>
             <S>                         <C>
             Building and improvements.. 20-27.5 years
             Furniture and equipment....     5-7 years
</TABLE>
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Partnership pays no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Partnership is includable on the respective federal income tax returns of the
partners.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
 
  The interim financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such interim data includes
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the
period.
 
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  In connection with the operation of the Property, an affiliate of one of the
partners is entitled to management fees equal to 2.5% of resident fees and 5%
of cash flows, as defined. Amounts due to affiliate are for amounts due for
the above fees and are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.

(1) These properties will be contributed by PGI to the Company along with
    $4,600 in exchange for 2,000 shares of the Company's common stock and
    leased to the Brookdale Living Communities Inc. ("Brookdale"). Brookdale

on the Leased Facilities, $4,600 of cash provided by PGI and receive credits

          *The Company has determined that the
           estimated useful lives of buildings to
           be 45 years and furniture and equipment
           to be 5 years, as compared to 40 years
           and 3-12 years, respectively used by the
           Original Facilities. This change was
           made to better reflect the estimated
           periods during which such assets will
           remain in service. For financial
           statement reporting purposes, the above
           will be recorded prospectively as a
           change in estimate for the Original
           Facilities. The Activelife Facilities
           will be depreciated using these lives.
           Depreciation expense included in the
           "Pro Forma As Adjusted" column was based
           upon the Company's new estimated useful
           lives.
          +Deferred costs are amortized using the
           straight-line over their estimated
           useful lives as follows:

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
   
  Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
("Section 145"), a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers,
employees and agents and its former directors, officers, employees and agents
and those who serve, at the corporation's request, in such capacities with
another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), as well as
judgments, fines and settlements in non-derivative lawsuits, actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding in which they or any of them were or are made parties or are
threatened to be made parties by reason of their serving or having served in
such capacity. Section 145 provides, however, that such person must have acted
in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in (or not
opposed to) the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of a
criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his
or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, Section 145 does not permit
indemnification in an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation,
where such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless, and
only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly and
reasonably is entitled to indemnity for expenses the court deems proper in
light of liability adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim,
issue or matter has been successfully defended.     
 
  The Company's Amended and Restated By-laws (the "By-laws") provide for
mandatory indemnification of directors and officers generally to the same
extent authorized by Section 145. Under the By-laws, the Company shall advance
expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any such action if
the director or officer undertakes to repay such amount if it is determined
that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
 
  The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.
 
  The Company also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each
of the Company's directors and certain of its officers. The indemnification
agreements will require, among other things, that the Company indemnify such
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to
such directors and officers all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if
it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. The
Company also must indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by such
directors and officers seeking to enforce their rights under the
indemnification agreements, and cover such directors and officers under the
Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance.
 
                                     II-1
<PAGE>
 
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the
Company's directors will not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary
duty as directors, except (a) for any breach of the directors' duty of loyalty
to the Company or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(c) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
which makes directors liable for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful
stock repurchases or redemptions, or (d) for transactions from which directors
derive improper personal benefit.
 
  The Underwriting Agreement provides for indemnification by the Underwriters
of the directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), under certain circumstances.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
 
  The following sets forth certain information as to all securities sold by
the Company within the last three years that were not registered under the
Securities Act. As to all such transactions, an exemption is claimed under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
   
  On September 4, 1996, the Company issued 100 shares of Common Stock to
Michael W. Reschke for $10.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of
$1,000. This Common Stock was purchased solely for investment purposes to
facilitate the organization of the Company. Upon completion of the Offering,
all of the shares so acquired by Mr. Reschke will be redeemed by the Company
for an aggregate redemption price of $1,000.     
   
  Simultaneously with the completion of the Offering, the Company also will
issue 3,928,750 shares of Common Stock to PGI in exchange for its interests in
the Hallmark facility and the operations relating to the Original Facilities
and 571,250 shares of Common Stock to Mark J. Schulte in exchange for his
interests in the Hallmark facility and the operations relating to the Original
Facilities.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
  The undersigned Company hereby further undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
  the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
  registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
  of prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
  497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
  registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
  be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
  offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
  deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
