2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments consisting only of recurring accruals considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for such
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for a full fiscal year. For further information regarding significant
accounting policies please refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto for the period ended December 31, 1997 included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 31, 1998. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated
and combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

  Reclassifications
 
    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current financial statement presentation.

  Development Fees

    Development fees are recognized in the period earned.

3. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

    On January 21, 1998, the underwriters of the follow-on public offering
exercised their over-allotment option for an additional 300 shares of common
stock at $16.6875 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately
$4,635 from the sale of these shares.

    On March 6, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to lease the Harbor
Village facility, a 272-unit facility located in Chicago, Illinois.  The lease
is an operating lease with an initial five-year term and seven one-year renewal
terms, and annual lease payment amounts ranging from $1,335 to $1,481 through
the initial lease term.  The Company has an option to acquire this facility at
the end of the initial term and each renewal term. In connection with the lease,
the Company funded approximately $5,784 of lease security deposits.

    On March 17, 1998, the Company amended its office lease agreement with an
affiliate of PGI, Prime Group Realty Trust (the "Landlord"), pursuant to which
the Company's offices were relocated to a different floor, the space leased by
the Company was increased and the term of the lease was extended to April 30,
2005. The base rent payable by the Company under the amended lease is $18.50 per
square foot, escalating at $0.75 per square foot on May 1 of each lease year,
commencing May 1, 1999. In consideration for executing the lease amendment, the
Company received a $452 incentive from the Landlord.

    On March 31, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which
the Company acquired the right to purchase land in McCandless, Pennsylvania for
approximately $1.9 million.  The Company expects to develop a Brookdale
prototype senior independent and assisted living facility on the land.  The
closing of the purchase of the land is subject to customary closing
contingencies, including the receipt of all approvals for the development of the
land, and there can be no assurance that such closing contingencies will be
satisfied in a timely manner, if at all.

    On March 31, 1998, the Company sold development sites located in Southfield,
Michigan (the "Michigan Project") and Austin, Texas (the "Texas Project") to
unaffiliated third parties (the "Purchasers"). The sales price for the Michigan
Project was $4,044, of which $1,000 was received in cash and $3,044 was received
by the delivery of a promissory note. The sales price for the Texas Project was
$5,316, of which $1,300 was received in cash and $4,016 was received by the
delivery of a promissory note. Both notes accrue interest at 9.0% per annum and
are payable on June 30, 1998.

    In connection with the foregoing sales of the Texas Project and the Michigan
Project (collectively, the "Projects"), and in contemplation of the closing of
the construction financing for the Projects, the Company entered into interim
arrangements with each of the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company agrees to
continue to develop each of the Projects and earns a development fee therefore 
in an amount which the Company believes to be a market rate fee which is partly
attributable to reimbursement of corporate overhead and other costs incurred by
the Company in connection with each Project. Under the interim development
arrangements, the Company has agreed to fund all costs incurred in connection
with the development of the Projects, and is entitled to reimbursement of such
costs upon the earlier of the closing of the construction financing for the
Projects or June 30, 1998. If the construction financing for the Projects is not
closed by June 30, 1998, the Company has the option to repurchase the Projects.
In connection with the above-described interim arrangements, the Company made
restricted cash investments in the aggregate amount of $2,300 which earn
interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. The return of these cash
investments and the payment of approximately one-half of the total development
fees to which the Company is entitled is expected to be subordinate to the
repayment or refinancing of the construction financing for the Projects

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The above-described interim
arrangements expire upon the earlier of the closing of the construction
financing for the Projects or June 30, 1998, and are expected to be restated and
extended in connection with the closing of the construction financing for the
Projects.

4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement 131"), which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement 131 establishes
standards for the way that a public company reports information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those companies report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. The Company will adopt the new
requirements in 1998. Management believes that the adoption of Statement 131
will not affect results of operations or financial position, but could add to
the Company's current operating disclosures.


5. INCOME TAXES

   Income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S.
federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income tax expense principally
as a result of non-taxable amortization of the deferred gain on the sale of The
Hallmark and state income taxes.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    On April 15, 1998, the Company purchased land in Raleigh, North Carolina for
the purpose of developing a Brookdale prototype senior independent and assisted
living facility.  The Company acquired the land for a total consideration of
approximately $2,100 in cash.

    On April 27, 1998, the Company obtained a $15,000 unsecured revolving line
of credit from LaSalle National Bank to be used for working capital or in
connection with the acquisition, leasing, or development of real property.
Interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount of the loan at a rate equal
to the prime rate plus 1/2% per annum with interest payable monthly. The
outstanding principal amount of the loan and accrued but unpaid interest are
payable in full on April 26, 1999. The Company must pay an unused commitment fee
in an amount equal to 1/4% per annum of the amount of the line of credit which
is not outstanding, which fee is payable quarterly. As of May 14, 1998, the
Company has drawn approximately $7,000 under the line of credit.

    On April 30, 1998, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire
a 125-unit senior independent and assisted living facility located in the
northeastern United States for approximately $16,600 in cash. The closing of the
purchase of this facility is subject to the customary closing contingencies,
including approval of the sale by the limited partners of the owner of the
property, and there can be no assurance that such closing contingencies will be
satisfied in a timely manner, if at all.

    On May 12, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to lease The Atrium
of San Jose facility, a 292-unit facility located in San Jose, California. The
lease is an operating lease with an initial 10-year term and five one-year
renewal terms, and annual lease payment amounts ranging from $2,331 to $2,405
through the initial lease term. The Company has an option to acquire this
facility at the end of the initial term and each renewal term. In connection
with the lease the Company funded approximately $6,965 of lease security
deposits.

    On May 12, 1998, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire

8. PRO FORMA INFORMATION

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed, consolidated and combined
statements of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and March 31, 1997 are presented as if, at January 1, 1998 and January 1,
1997, (i) the Company had sold and issued 9,475 shares of its common stock,
purchased the Owned Facilities and leased the Leased Facilities and The Atrium
of San Jose facility which was leased beginning May 12, 1998. If The Atrium of
San Jose facility was not included in the pro forma operations, revenue, net
income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would be $17,560, $1,167, and $0.12,
respectively, for 1998 and $15,405, ($255), and ($0.03), respectively, for 1997.

   These unaudited pro forma condensed, consolidated and combined statements of
operations are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of
operations of the Company would have been assuming the IPO and follow-on public
offering had been consummated at the beginning of each period presented, nor do
they purport to represent the results of operations of the Company for future
periods.

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

  The following discussion is based on the Consolidated Statement of Operations
of the Company from January 1, 1998 to March 31, 1998 and the Combined Statement
of Operations of Predecessor Properties from January 1, 1997 to March 31, 1997
and the balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 1998 and as of December 31,
1997. The financial statements of the Predecessor Properties combine the results
of operations of five properties which were contributed by PGI to the Company
simultaneously with the consummation of its IPO and are now consolidated in the
Company's financial statements. Historical results and any apparent percentage
relationships with respect thereto are not necessarily indicative of future
operations.

OVERVIEW

  As of March 31, 1998, the Company operates 14 senior independent and assisted
living facilities containing a total of 3,080 units. Four of such facilities are
owned by the Company, eight facilities are leased by the Company and two
facilities (one of which is owned by PGI) are managed by Brookdale pursuant to
management contracts. The Company's senior independent and assisted living
facilities offer residents a supportive, "home-like" setting as well as
assistance with certain activities of daily living. By providing residents a
range of service options as their needs change, the Company seeks to achieve
greater continuity of care, enabling senior residents to age-in-place and
thereby maintain their stay for a longer time period. The ability to allow
residents to age-in-place is beneficial to the Company's residents as well as
their families who are burdened with care decisions for their elderly relatives.

  The Company derives its revenues from resident fees, development fees and
management fees. Resident fees consist of charges for renting units, providing
basic care services, and, in certain instances, providing supplemental care
services to residents. Basic care services include meal service, housekeeping
services within the resident's unit, social and recreational activities,
scheduled transportation, security, emergency call response, access to on-site
medical services and medical education and wellness programs. In addition to
basic care

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
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 escort and companion services. Depending on the
particular facility and as dictated by state licensing requirements, the Company
also provides assistance with activities of daily living, such as dressing and
bathing and medication administration or reminders. The Company plans to expand
its supplemental service offerings, as permitted by licensing, 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 licensing
to provide home health services to residents. Resident fees typically are paid
monthly by residents, their families or other responsible parties. As of March
31, 1998, 99.9% of the Company's revenue was derived from private pay sources.

   The Company derives additional revenue from development fees associated with
developing senior independent and assisted living facilities for third parties
and management fees from managing senior independent and assisted living
facilities for unaffiliated third parties pursuant to management contracts.
Management services income consists of management fees, which typically range
from 3.0% to 5.0% of a managed facility's total gross revenues.  All fees are
recognized as revenues when services are provided.
 
   The Company classifies its operating expenses into the following categories:
(i) facility operating expenses, which include property personnel payroll and
related costs, food, marketing, other direct facility expenses and real estate
taxes; (ii) general and administrative expenses, which primarily include
corporate and other overhead costs; (iii) lease expenses; and (iv) depreciation
and amortization.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997

   For the three months ended March 31, 1998, results reflect the Company's
operations of 14 facilities.  For the three months ended March 31, 1997, results
reflect the Predecessor's operations of five facilities.

   Revenue.  Total revenue increased by $9.4 million, or 126.4%, to $16.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Resident fees increased by $8.2 million, or 109.7%,
to $15.7 million. Of this increase, approximately $450,000 (or a "same store"
increase of 5.9%) reflects an increase in resident fees at the properties that
have been operated during both periods, which resulted primarily from increases
in unit rental rates. Approximately $7.8 million of such increase reflects
revenue from facilities acquired, leased or managed subsequent to March 31,
1997. The remaining $1.2 million of the total revenue increase reflects revenue
from development fees associated with projects being developed and managed by
the Company for unaffiliated third parties. The Company has the option to
purchase such properties following lease-up and stabilization.
 
   Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $7.8 million, or
107.9%, to $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared
to the three months ended March 31, 1997. Facility operating expenses increased
by $4.4 million, or 104.7%, to $8.6 million primarily due to the inclusion of
the facilities acquired or leased subsequent to March 31, 1997. From the
commencement of operations on May 7, 1997, the Company has managed all of its
facilities and, accordingly, incurred general and administrative expenses of
approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. For the
three months ended March 31, 1997, two of the Predecessor Properties incurred
property management fees of approximately $171,000.

   Lease expense increased by approximately $1.7 million, or 77.0%, to $3.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1997 due to the inclusion of the facilities leased
subsequent to March 31, 1997. Depreciation and amortization increased by
approximately $575,000, or 88.3%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. This
increase primarily reflects the depreciation of the step-up in basis of two of
the Predecessor Properties that resulted in connection with the IPO and the
depreciation of the facilities acquired subsequent to March 31, 1997.

   Interest expense increased by approximately $386,000, or 72.0%, to $922,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1997 primarily due to the assumption of debt on the Hawthorn
Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities in connection with the purchase of these
properties during 1997.  Interest income increased by approximately $656,000 to
$705,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 due to an increase in average
cash balances and various deposits and restricted investments.
 
   Net Income. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company generated
net income of approximately $1.1 million, as compared to a net loss of $466,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 due to the changes in revenue and
expenses described above. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998
versus the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997, which included
the Predecessor Properties only, is not necessarily comparable, in the opinion
of management, due to the different ownership and capital structures for the
respective periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   On December 24, 1997, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of
2,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, at $16.6875 per
share. The underwriters of the offering exercised their over-allotment option,
and, on January 21, 1998, the Company sold an additional 300,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at $16.6875 per share.  The proceeds from such offering

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
(including the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option), net of
related underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs, totaled
approximately $35.5 million ($4.6 million from the exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option). The Company used approximately $25.8 million of such net
proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness and fund lease security deposits paid
subsequent to such offering. The remaining net proceeds were used to finance a
portion of subsequent acquisitions, leasing and developments of senior
independent and assisted living facilities and working capital and general
corporate purposes.
 
   On April 15, 1998, the Company purchased land in Raleigh, North Carolina for
a total consideration of approximately $2.1 million in cash. On April 27, 1998,
the Company obtained a $15.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit from
LaSalle National Bank to be used for working capital or in connection with the
acquisition, leasing, or development of real property. As of May 14, 1998, the
Company has drawn approximately $7.0 million under the line of credit. On April
30, 1998, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 125-unit
senior independent and assisted living facility located in the northeastern
United States for approximately $16.6 million in cash. The closing of the
purchase of this facility is subject to the customary closing contingencies,
including approval of the sale by the limited partners of the owner of the
property. On May 12, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to lease The
Atrium of San Jose facility, a 292-unit facility located in San Jose,
California. In connection with the lease the Company funded approximately $7.0
million of lease security deposits. On May 12, 1998, the Company entered into a
purchase agreement to acquire land in Sterling Heights, Michigan for
approximately $1.8 million for the purpose of developing a Brookdale prototype
senior independent and assisted living facility. The closing of the purchase of
this property is subject to customary closing.

   Cash and cash equivalents (which excludes cash-restricted of $7.1 million,
the letter of credit deposit of $12.6 million and lease security deposits of
$24.6 million) decreased by $5.4 million to $7.9 million at March 31, 1998
compared to $13.3 million at December 31, 1997 primarily due to cash utilized
for the acquisition, leasing and development of facilities offset in part by the
proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option related to
the follow-on offering.  The decrease consisted of $10.7 million of funds used
in investing activities offset by $2.6 million and $2.7 million of funds
provided by operating activities and financing activities, respectively.

   Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $10.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998.  Investing activities included net cash
used for lease security deposits in connection with the lease of the Harbor
Village facility in the amount of $5.3 million, cash paid for property under
development of $3.8 million, an increase in cash-restricted of $0.2 million and
other uses of $1.4 million.
 
   Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998.  Financing activities included proceeds
from the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option related to the
follow-on offering of $4.6 million.
 
   The Company currently plans to acquire or lease four to six senior
independent and assisted living facilities per year containing an aggregate of
approximately 800 to 1,200 units and to commence development of two to three new
facilities per year containing approximately 220 units. The Company anticipates
that new developments will require eight to ten months for pre-construction
development, 12 to 14 months for construction and approximately 12 months after
opening to achieve a stabilized occupancy rate of approximately 95%. The total
construction costs, including construction period financing costs and operating
deficits during the lease-up period, for the 220-unit prototype are estimated to
be approximately $30.0 million, or approximately $135,000 per unit. At March 31,
1998, the Company had five sites under development for new senior independent
and assisted living facilities, two of which were under construction. Subsequent
to such date, the Company commenced construction on its Raleigh, North Carolina
project. Capital expenditures related to the Company's existing facilities are
estimated to be approximately $3.0 million to $5.0 million in the aggregate in
1998. The Company anticipates that it will use a combination of cash on hand,
remaining net proceeds from the follow-on offering, additional equity financing
and debt financing, lease transactions and cash generated from operations to
fund its acquisition and development activities. The Company currently estimates
that the cash generated from operations, remaining net proceeds from the follow-
on offering, together with cash on hand, existing debt facilities and
commitments and anticipated financing, will be sufficient to meet its liquidity
needs for at least 12 months. Thereafter, in order to achieve its growth plans,
the Company will be required to obtain a substantial amount of additional
financing. The Company presently has no commitment, arrangement or understanding
regarding financing to fund the debt portion of the Company's acquisition and
development plans other than the $100.0 million commitment from Nomura Asset
Capital Corporation for development projects. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain the financing necessary for its acquisition and
development programs.

   As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $65.0 million of long-term indebtedness
in tax-exempt bonds with floating rates. The interest rates (exclusive of credit
enhancement and other fees) on such debt averaged 3.4% during the three months
ended March 31, 1998.  Such tax-exempt bonds contain covenants requiring the
facilities to maintain a minimum number of units for income qualified residents.
The Company may obtain similar bond financing for future facilities.
 
   The Company is dependent on third-party financing for its acquisition,
leasing and development programs. Some financing obtained in the future is
expected to contain terms and conditions and representations and warranties that
are customary for such loans and may contain financing covenants and other
restrictions that (i) require the Company to meet certain financial tests and
maintain certain amounts of funds in escrow, (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. There can be no assurance that financing for the Company's
acquisition and development program

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. A lack of funds
may require the Company to delay or eliminate all or some of its development
projects and acquisition and leasing plans and could therefore have a material
adverse effect on the Company's growth plans and on its business, financial
condition and results of operations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

   Resident fees from senior independent and assisted living facilities owned or
leased by the Company and management fees from facilities managed by the Company
for third parties are its primary sources of revenue. These revenues are
affected by monthly resident fee rates and facility occupancy rates. The rates
charged for senior independent and assisted living services are highly dependent
upon local market conditions and the competitive environment in which the
facilities operate. Substantially all of the Company's resident agreements have
terms of approximately one year and allow, at the time of renewal, for
adjustments in the monthly fees payable thereunder, thereby enabling 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. In
addition, employee compensation expense is a principal cost element of facility
operations and is also dependent upon local market conditions. There can be no
assurance that resident fees will increase or that costs will not increase due
to inflation or other causes. In addition, as of March 31, 1998, approximately
$65.0 million in principal amount of the Company's indebtedness bore interest at
tax-exempt floating rates and future indebtedness may bear floating rate
interest. Inflation, and its impact on floating interest rates, could affect the
amount of interest payments due on such indebtedness.

READINESS FOR YEAR 2000

  The Company is in the process of planning the nature and extent of the work
required to make its systems and infrastructure Year 2000 compliant.  Based on a
recent assessment, the Company will have to modify or replace significant
portions of its hardware and software so that its systems will function properly
with respect to the Year 2000 and beyond.  The Company believes that with
modifications to existing software and conversions to new software applications,
in addition to hardware upgrades on certain mechanical systems, the Year 2000
issue will not pose significant operational problems.  However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed in a timely
manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the operations of
the Company.

  The Company continues to evaluate the Year 2000 issue and will utilize both
internal and external resources in order to reprogram, or replace, systems that
are not in compliance with the Year 2000.  The Company anticipates completing
the project no later than March 31, 1999. The cost to complete the project has
not yet been determined.

     The project completion date is based on management's best estimates, which
were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including the
ability of third parties to modify the Company's systems on a timely basis.
There can be no guarantee that the project will be completed in a timely manner.
Specific factors that might delay completion of the project include, but are not
limited to, the availability of qualified personnel, the ability to locate and
correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties.

     WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Brookdale

approximately 220 residential units, some of which (but not all) will be
licensed for personal care, together with all necessary and related utilities,

"Project");

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     (1) Existing Permits and Approvals.
         ------------------------------ 

         (A) NDEA has performed extensive development work related to the Real
Estate, including without limitation, work related to zoning, title, site
planning, special transportation district negotiations and settlement, access
easements, site access, storm water drainage planning and engineering, wetlands
planning, community and government communications, subdivision planning and
approval, engineering and architectural design, and market studies.  As the
result of said development work, NDEA has obtained various approvals, permits,
studies, reports, surveys, site-plans and similar items necessary or desirable
in connection with the purchase and development of the Real Estate as previously
intended by NDEA which are listed on Exhibit "B" attached hereto and hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Existing Permits and Approvals".

         (B) NDEA agrees to assign, transfer, and deliver the Existing Permits
and Approvals to Brookdale subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NDEA shall 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
deliver copies of all Existing Permits and Approvals within ten (10) days of the
Agreement Date. NDEA shall deliver all original Existing Permits and Approvals
to Brookdale not later than the Effective Date (as defined in the Assignment).
In the event that this Agreement is terminated, or Brookdale does not purchase
the Real Estate on the Effective Date, Brookdale shall promptly return all
copies and original Existing Permits and Approvals to NDEA.

     (2) Additional Permits and Approvals.
         -------------------------------- 

         (A) NDEA shall use its best efforts to apply for and obtain, or cause
to be prepared, all additional permits, approvals, reports, plans or other
matters (other than building permits, or operating licenses) as needed to permit
the construction of the Project by Brookdale (the "Additional Permits and
Approvals") on or before the Settlement Date (as hereinafter defined). NDEA
shall have no liability to Brookdale in the event it is unable to obtain any
Additional Permits and Approvals.

         (B) NDEA agrees to assign, transfer, and deliver the Additional Permits
and Approvals to Brookdale subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NDEA shall deliver copies of all Additional Permits and Approvals to Brookdale
promptly upon their receipt by NDEA.  NDEA shall deliver all original Additional
Permits and Approvals to Brookdale not later than the Effective Date (as defined
in the Assignment).  If NDEA fails to obtain the Additional Permits and
Approvals on or before the Settlement Date, Brookdale may terminate the
Assignment and the Agreement and the Earnest Money shall be returned to
Brookdale.  In the event that this Agreement is terminated, or Brookdale does
not purchase the Real Estate on the Effective Date, Brookdale shall promptly
return all copies and original Existing and Additional Permits and Approvals to
NDEA.
 
         (C) If NDEA fails to obtain any additional Permits and Approvals in a
timely manner then Brookdale shall have option to assume the obligations of NDEA
under this Paragraph 2.  Additional expenses incurred by Brookdale in obtaining
said additional Permits and Approvals shall be deducted from the amounts payable
under paragraph 5 hereof.

     (3) Construction Contract.  Brookdale agrees that, in addition to the cash
         ---------------------                                                 
consideration being paid to NDEA under this Agreement, and as additional
consideration for NDEA 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
agreeing to assign the LeDonne Agreement to Brookdale, Brookdale hereby grants
to NDEA and its affiliated construction company (the "General Contractor") the
first opportunity to serve as the General Contractor for the construction of the
Project provided that said General Contractor is able to satisfactorily bond its
obligations under the construction contract and is acceptable to Brookdale's
construction lender. This exclusive right of first opportunity shall be
implemented as follows:

         (A) Based upon the construction records and data from the Detroit, 
Michigan-area, Raleigh, North Carolina-area and Austin, Texas-area projects
currently underway by Brookdale, which are similar in design to the proposed
Project, Brookdale shall, within forty-five (45) days following the expiration
of the Feasibility Period provide to General Contractor a reasonable estimate of
the total building construction cost for the Project, inclusive of all
contractor general conditions and fees (the "Target Cost"). Brookdale shall take
into account in making such determination, differing site conditions at the Real
Estate and construction cost adjustment factors applicable in the Pittsburgh
market as compared to Detroit, Raleigh and Austin, as necessary.

         (B) Brookdale shall authorize the completion of construction documents,
plans and specifications for the Project by its architect when Brookdale
reasonably believes that all permits and approvals from the Town of McCandless
for the start of construction of the project are likely to issue in due course.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
         (C) Upon completion of the construction documents, plans and
specifications by Brookdale's architect, or at such other time as sufficient
information is available, in the General Contractor's reasonable judgement to
allow for bidding the General Contractor shall have the exclusive right to price
the Project; put the Project out to bid to the subcontractor market; and
represent to the subcontractor market that the Project has been awarded to the
General Contractor subject to the Target Price being met.

         (D) If the General Contractor agrees to  commit to constructing the
Project for a Guaranteed Maximum Price  which is equal to or less than the
Target Price, Brookdale and General Contractor shall enter into a construction
contract (on AIA form A111 with such revisions as are mutually acceptable to
Brookdale and General Contractor) which shall provide for said Guaranteed
Maximum Price and a savings split as follows: 75% to Brookdale, 25% to the
General Contractor.

         (E) If the General Contractor can not agree to a Guaranteed Maximum
Price which is equal to or less than the Target Price, Brookdale shall have the
right thereafter to deal with any other general contractor or otherwise pursue
the construction of the Project in any manner that Brookdale deems appropriate.

                                      -5-

     (5) Reimbursement of Development Costs at Settlement.
         ------------------------------------------------ 

         (A) Brookdale agrees to pay the sum of $410,000.00 (the "PUD Cost
Reimbursement") to NDEA upon purchase of the Real Estate at Settlement pursuant
to the LeDonne Agreement and the Assignment, to reimburse NDEA for various costs
and expenses incurred by NDEA in connection with development of the Property and
the LeDonne Agreements, including without limitation, the "Hand Money", and any
broker's commission or fee to Langholz/Wilson & Associates.

         (B) In addition to the PUD Cost Reimbursement payment described in
Paragraph 5(A) above, Brookdale shall reimburse NDEA on the Effective Date for
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs paid hereafter to third parties to obtain the
Project Approvals, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of attorneys, engineers and land planners, not to exceed, in the
aggregate, Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00).  Brookdale shall also
reimburse NDEA, upon purchase of the Real Estate by Brookdale, for any payments
made to the LeDonnes to extend the date of Settlement, pursuant to the terms of
the Fourth Amendment to and Assignment of Agreement of Sale and Purchase.
Additionally, Brookdale acknowledges the obligation to purchase certain rights
to sanitary sewer taps from the LeDonnes and the obligation to the Town of
McCandless related to the settlement of a Special Transportation District
Assessment that was previously contested by the LeDonnes.
 
     (6) Earnest Money Deposit. Within five (5) Business Days after the
         ---------------------                                         
Agreement Date, Brookdale shall deposit the sum of Ten Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($10,000.00) in an escrow ("Escrow") established with Lawyers Title

instructions in general use in the Pittsburgh area or otherwise as mutually
agreed upon.  Upon the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Brookdale shall
deposit an additional Ninety Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($90,000.00) in the
Escrow.  The sum of deposit in the Escrow, together with all earnings accrued
thereon at any time, is herein referred to as the "Earnest Money".  The Earnest
Money shall be invested in a money market fund or in such other investment
instrument or account designated by Brookdale.  Upon purchase of the Real Estate
by Brookdale, the Earnest Money, together with all interest and earnings accrued

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
thereon, shall be returned by the Title Company to Brookdale.

     (7) Feasibility Period; Approval Period.
         ----------------------------------- 

         (A) Brookdale's obligation to accept the assignment of the LeDonne
Agreement, to pay the PUD Cost Reimbursement and to reimburse NDEA under
Paragraph (5)(B) above, is contingent upon the satisfactory inspection of the
Real Estate and an evaluation of the Existing Permits and Approvals by
Brookdale, in its sole and absolute discretion and judgment, during the period
(the "Feasibility Period") commencing on the Agreement Date and ending on the
thirtieth (30th) day following the Agreement Date.

         (B) During the Feasibility Period, NDEA will arrange with the LeDonnes
for Brookdale to physically inspect the condition of the Real Estate, and
Brookdale will review the Existing Permits and Approvals and otherwise determine
the feasibility (economic or otherwise) of the acquisition, ownership and
development of the Real Estate.  NDEA shall cooperate fully with Brookdale and
Brookdale's agents, employees and representatives in connection with Brookdale's
review of the Existing Permits and Approvals.  At any time during the
Feasibility Period, Brookdale, in Brookdale's sole and absolute discretion, may,
upon written notice to NDEA, terminate this Agreement and the Assignment, in
which event the Earnest Money, and all earnings thereon, shall be returned to
Brookdale, and thereafter, all of the rights, duties and obligations of the
parties hereto shall immediately terminate, and this Agreement and the
Assignment shall be null, void and of no further force or effect.

         (C) Brookdale's obligation to accept the assignment of the LeDonne
Agreement and make the payments described in paragraph (5) shall be contingent
upon NDEA procuring the Project Approvals in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Brookdale, on or before the one hundred twentieth (120th) day
following the Agreement Date (the "Approval Period"); provided that as long as
NDEA is diligently and continuously pursuing the Project Approvals and is not
otherwise in default under this Agreement, Brookdale shall not have the right to
terminate this Agreement, and NDEA may extend the Approval Period for four (4)
additional thirty (30) day periods by written notice to Brookdale on or before
the expiration of the aforesaid 120-day or 30-day periods, as applicable.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
         (D) If: (i) in Brookdale's sole judgment and discretion, Brookdale
decides during the Feasibility Period that it does not wish to proceed with the
purchase of the Real Estate, or (ii) NDEA (or Brookdale) has failed to obtain
the Project Approvals during the Approval Period (subject to extension as
described in paragraph 7(c) above), then Brookdale shall give NDEA written
notice of such fact on or before the end of the applicable period, in which case
this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money and all earnings thereon
shall be returned by the Title Company to Brookdale.  In the event Brookdale
does not notify NDEA in writing on or before the end of the applicable period of
Brookdale's election to terminate this Agreement, Brookdale shall accept the
Assignment, and pay the sums described in paragraph (5) herein to NDEA in
accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement  and the Assignment.

     (8) Settlement. When used herein, the term "Settlement" shall mean
         ----------

to cause such exceptions or other matters to be corrected, removed or otherwise
waived, within fifteen (15) business days from the date of said written notice
of objection from Brookdale (the "Cure Period").  Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Feasibility Period shall not end before the
day which is five (5) Business Days following the day within the Cure Period on
which Brookdale receives written evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Brookdale,
that such exceptions or other matters have been corrected, removed or otherwise

other agreement or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the
Assignment for any reason other than Brookdale's default, Brookdale may (1)
cancel this Agreement and receive the prompt return of the Earnest Money,
together with all interest and earnings accrued thereon; or (2) enforce specific
performance of this Agreement and the Assignment.  The exercise of (or failure

and

     WHEREAS, the parties desire to cause the assignment of the LeDonne

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
 
     (1) Conditional Agreement to Assign LeDonne Agreement.  Subject to the
         -------------------------------------------------                 
terms and conditions set forth herein, NDEA hereby agrees to sell, transfer, and
assign to Brookdale all of NDEA's rights, title and interest in, to and under

     (2) Conditional Agreement to Accept Assignment of LeDonne Agreement.
         ---------------------------------------------------------------  
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Brookdale agrees to accept
the above described assignment of NDEA's rights and assume NDEA's duties under
the LeDonne Agreement.

     (3) Conditional Consent to Assignment of LeDonne Agreement.  Subject to the
         ------------------------------------------------------                 
terms and conditions set forth herein, the LeDonnes consent to the above
described assignment of the LeDonne Agreement to Brookdale as the "Buyer"
thereunder and agree to release NDEA from all obligations thereunder, from and
after the "Effective Date" (as defined below).  Any notice given by the LeDonnes
under the LeDonne Agreement to Buyer from and after the date of this Agreement
shall be given to both NDEA and Brookdale.  Notwithstanding that the assignment
provided for herein is not effective until the Effective Date, in the event
Buyer defaults under the LeDonne Agreement, Brookdale shall be entitled to an
opportunity to cure such default, ending ten (10) days after notice of such
default is given to Brookdale.

     (4) Assignment Effective Upon Project Approval and Settlement.  The
         ---------------------------------------------------------      
assignment of rights and delegation of duties to Brookdale, acceptance by
Brookdale, and release of NDEA by the LeDonnes as described above, shall become
fully effective, without further notice, documentation, or action of the
parties, upon tender of the deed to convey the Real Estate by the LeDonnes to
Brookdale at the Settlement as described in the LeDonne Agreement (the
"Effective Date"); provided, however, that NDEA has obtained and provided the
"Project Approvals" to Brookdale.  "Project Approvals" means all permits or
approvals (other than building permits, or operating licenses) needed to permit
the construction on the Real Estate of the "Project".  The "Project" means a
five (5) story building and containing approximately 242,000 gross square feet,
containing approximately 220 residential units, some of which, (but not all)
will be licensed for personal care together with all necessary and related
utilities, parking, curb cuts, storm water management facilities, and site
improvements. The LeDonnes hereby agree to  convey title to the Real Estate
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the LeDonne Agreement to
Brookdale or its assignee.  Until the Effective Date, the within assignment
shall not become effective, and NDEA shall continue to be the "Buyer" under the
terms of the LeDonne Agreement, subject to the terms hereof.
