Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On May 29, 1998, Asset Investors  Corporation (the "Company")  acquired an adult
manufactured  home  community  located in Fort Myers,  Florida from  Serendipity
Properties,  Inc. This community consists of 338 developed  homesites and is 97%
occupied.  In  addition,  on  June  2,  1998,  the  Company  acquired  an  adult
manufactured  home  community  located  in Mesa,  Arizona  from  Brentwood  West
Partners,  LLP. This community  consists of 350 developed  homesites and is 100%
occupied.

The  consideration  for  the  communities  was  determined  through  arms-length
negotiations with the sellers.  Total  consideration for Serendipity Mobile Home
Park was  $8,672,000  of cash,  and for  Brentwood  West  Mobile  Home  Park was
$6,948,000 of cash and $7,000,000 advanced under a short-term note from Holliday
Fenoglio  Fowler,  L.P. The Company  intends to replace the short-term note with
permanent financing in the third quarter of 1998.

The Company  generally intends to continue to utilize the assets acquired in the
transaction as rental  properties which is the same manner as they were employed
prior to the  acquisition.  Due to the  Company's  intent to acquire  additional
manufactured  home  communities,  the Company's future dividends and the taxable
portion thereof cannot be estimated at this time.

The Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for  forward-looking  statements in certain  circumstances.  Certain information
included in this Report,  the Company's  Annual Report to Stockholders and other
Company filings  (collectively  "SEC Filings") under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended,  and the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended (as well as
information  communicated  orally or in  writing  between  the dates of such SEC
Filings) contains or may contain information that is forward looking, including,
without  limitation,  statements  regarding  projections of the Company's future
financial  performance,  cash flow,  dividends and  anticipated  returns on real
estate investments.  Such  forward-looking  statements involve known and unknown
risks,  uncertainties  and other  factors  that may cause  the  actual  results,
performance or achievements  of the Company to be materially  different from any
future  results,  performance  or  achievements  expressed  or  implied  by  the
forward-looking  statements. Such factors include: general economic and business
conditions;  interest  rate  changes;  financing and  refinancing  risks;  risks
inherent  in  owning  real  estate  or  debt  secured  by  real  estate;  future
development  rate of homesites;  competition;  the  availability  of real estate
assets at prices which meet the  Company's  investment  criteria;  the Company's
ability to reduce expense  levels,  implement rent  increases,  use leverage and
other  risks set  forth in the  Company's  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
filings.  Readers should carefully review the Company's financial statements and
the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the SEC Filings.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Asset Investors Corporation

We have audited the  accompanying  statement of excess of revenues over specific
operating  expenses of The Brentwood West  Manufactured  Home Community (Note 1)
for the year ended December 31, 1997.  This statement is the  responsibility  of
the  management  of  The  Brentwood  West  Manufactured   Home  Community.   Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about  whether  the  statement  of excess of revenues  over  specific
operating  expenses  is  free  of  material  misstatement.   An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the statement.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles used
and significant estimates made by management,  as well as evaluating the overall
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

As  described  in Note 1, the  statement  of excess of  revenues  over  specific
operating expenses excludes certain expenses that would not be comparable to the
operations of the community after  acquisition by Asset  Investors  Corporation.
The  accompanying  statement was prepared for the purpose of complying  with the
rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  and is not
intended to be a complete presentation of the community's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects,  the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses (exclusive of
expenses  described in Note 1) of The Brentwood West Manufactured Home Community
for the year ended  December  31, 1997 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.


                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about  whether  the  statement  of excess of revenues  over  specific
operating  expenses  is  free  of  material  misstatement.   An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the statement.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles used
and significant estimates made by management,  as well as evaluating the overall
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

As  described  in Note 1, the  statement  of excess of  revenues  over  specific
operating expenses excludes certain expenses that would not be comparable to the
operations of the community after  acquisition by Asset  Investors  Corporation.
The  accompanying  statement was prepared for the purpose of complying  with the
rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  and is not
intended to be a complete presentation of the community's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects,  the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses (exclusive of
expenses described in Note 1) of The Serendipity Manufactured Home Community for
the  year  ended  December  31,  1997  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                    Notes to Statement of Excess of Revenues
                        Over specific Operating Expenses


1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Property

The  Serendipity  Manufactured  Home  Community (the Property) is a manufactured
home community located in North Fort Myers,  Florida which contains 338 lots. In
May 1998, the Property was sold to Asset Investors Operating Partnership L.P.

Basis of Accounting

The  accompanying  statement  of  excess of  revenues  over  specific  operating
expenses is presented on the accrual basis.  This statement has been prepared in
accordance  with the  applicable  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission  for real estate  properties.  Accordingly,  the  statement
excludes  certain  historical  expenses not  comparable to the operations of the
property  after   acquisition,   such  as   professional   fees,   depreciation,
amortization and interest.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income  attributable to manufactured  home lots is recorded when due from
residents.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation of the statement of excess of revenues over specific  operating
expenses in conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the statement and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.
