(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.
