          -------------------------------------------------

               On March 2, March 3 and March 8 of 1993, prior to
          the organization of the Partnership, ANP Investors, L.P.,
          a limited partnership ("ANP") which is a limited partner
          in the Partnership, purchased a total of 113,000 shares
          of Common Stock in the open market for an aggregate
          purchase price of $310,750 (exclusive of commissions). 
          ANP used its working capital in effectuating such
          purchases and subsequently contributed the purchased
          shares of Common Stock to the Partnership as part of its
          capital contribution.

               On March 31, 1993, the Partnership purchased an
          aggregate of 617,000 shares of Common Stock in a
          privately negotiated transaction for an aggregate
          purchase price of $2,159,500 (exclusive of commissions). 
          The Partnership used working capital derived from
          Partnership capital contributions in purchasing such
          shares of Common Stock.

               On April 6, 1993, the Partnership purchased an
          aggregate of 1,104,659 shares of Common Stock in a
          privately negotiated transaction for an aggregate
          purchase price of approximately $3,866,300 (exclusive of
          commissions).  The Partnership used working capital
          derived from Partnership capital contributions in
          purchasing such shares of Common Stock.

               On April 6, 1994, pursuant to a subscription
          offering made by Forum Group to certain of its
          stockholders (the "Subscription Offering"), the
          Partnership purchased 498,560 shares of Common Stock for
          an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,869,600
          (exclusive of commissions).  The Partnership used working

          purchasing such shares of Common Stock.

               On January 12, 1995, the Partnership purchased
          217,325 shares of Common Stock in a privately negotiated
          transaction for an aggregate purchase price of
          approximately $1,548,441.  The Partnership used working
          capital derived from Partnership capital contributions in
          purchasing such shares of Common Stock.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
          ----------------------

               ANP originally acquired the 113,000 shares of Common
          Stock for purposes of investment.  As previously
          reportedby the Partnership, it originally acquired the
          113,000 shares contributed by ANP and the other 1,721,659
          shares of Common Stock owned by it as of April 9, 1993
          for purposes of seeking control of Forum Group.  The
          Board of Directors of Forum Group approved the
          Partnership's acquisition of 10% or more of the voting
          power of the outstanding voting shares of Forum Group
          prior to the acquisition by the Partnership of the
          617,000 shares of Common Stock on March 31, 1993.

               By letter dated April 1, 1993, the Partnership and
          Dalfort Corporation, a Nevada corporation affiliated with
          the Partnership ("Dalfort"), presented an offer to Forum
          Group to enter into certain transactions, which offer
          Forum Group subsequently declined.

               The Partnership acquired the 498,560 shares of
          Common Stock on April 6, 1994 pursuant to the
          Subscription Offering in order to avoid dilution.

               The Partnership acquired the 217,325 shares of
          Common Stock on January 12, 1995 for investment purposes.

               The Partnership has no present plans or proposals
          which relate to or would result in any of the actions
          referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
          Schedule 13D.  However, depending on market conditions,
          the business and prospects of Forum Group and other
          relevant factors, the Partnership may (i) purchase
          additional shares of Common Stock on such terms and at
          such times as they consider desirable, (ii) continue to
          hold the shares of Common Stock reported herein or
          (iii) dispose of all or a portion of such shares.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
          ------------------------------------

          (a)  As of January 12, 1995, the Partnership
               beneficially owned, 2,550,544 shares of Common
               Stock or, to the best of its knowledge,
               approximately 11.3% of the issued and outstanding
               shares of Common Stock (based on Forum Group's
               Quarterly Report for the Quarter Ended September
               30, 1994).

          (c)  Of the 2,550,544 shares of Common Stock

               (i)  113,000 of such shares were acquired by ANP, a
                    limited partner in the Partnership, in the
                    open market purchases described below.  All of
                    such shares were contributed by ANP to the
                    Partnership as part of ANP's capital
