(a)      As used  herein,  the  "Predecessor  Properties"  refers to the  former
         senior  independent  and assisted  living  division of The Prime Group,
         Inc., which division was the predecessor in interest to the Company.

(b)      The Predecessor  Properties'  historical  earnings were insufficient to
         cover fixed charges by approximately $2.1 million,  $3.4 million,  $1.4
         million and $0.3 million for the years ended  December  31, 1993,  1994
         and  1995,  and  the  period  from  January  1,  1997  to May 6,  1997,
         respectively.  The Company's  historical  earnings were insufficient to
         cover fixed charges by  approximately  $0.2 million for the period from
         May 7, 1997 to June 30,  1997 and by $0.2  million  for the period from
         May 7, 1997 to December 31, 1997.

         For  purposes of  calculating  the ratio of earnings to fixed  charges,
"earnings"  include  income  before income  taxes,  extraordinary  items and the
cumulative  effects of changes  in  accounting  principles  and  combined  fixed
charges.  "Combined fixed charges"  consist of interest on all  indebtedness and
that portion of rental expense that management  believes to be representative of
interest.
