Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On February 27, 1998, Asset Investors  Corporation (the "Company")  acquired two
adult  manufactured  home  communities.  Salem  Farm  is  located  in  Bensalem,
Pennsylvania  (near  Philadelphia),  consists of 28 developed  homesites and was
acquired from Salem Farm Mobile Home Park, Inc.  Mullica Woods is located in Egg
Harbor City, New Jersey (near Atlantic City), consists of 90 developed homesites
and was acquired from Roth  Associates  of New Jersey.  Both  manufactured  home
communities  are fully  occupied.  Since May 1997, the Company has managed Salem
Farm and Mullica Woods for the prior owners.

The  consideration  for  the  communities  was  determined  through  arms-length
negotiations with the sellers. Total consideration for Salem Farm was $1,397,000
consisting of $59,000 of cash,  the assumption of $550,000 of existing debt, and
the issuance of 45,000 limited  partnership  units of Asset Investors  Operating
Partnership,  L.P.  ("OP Units")  valued at $788,000.  Total  consideration  for
Mullica Woods was  $3,684,000  consisting of $83,000 of cash,  the assumption of
$2,244,000  of existing  debt,  and the  issuance  of 78,000 OP Units  valued at
$1,357,000. The existing debt was prepaid by the Company upon acquisition of the
manufactured home communities.

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  the  effect  of  acquisitions,  the
Company's future financial performance and the effect of government regulations.
Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking
statements  and will be affected  by a variety of risks and  factors  including,
without limitation, national and local economic conditions, the general level of
interest rates,  terms of governmental  regulations  that affect the Company and
interpretations of those regulations,  the competitive  environment in which the
Company  operates,  financing risks,  including the risk that the Company's cash
flow from operations may be insufficient to meet required  payments of principal
and interest,  real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and
the general  economic  climate in local markets and  competition  for tenants in
such markets,  acquisition  and  development  risks,  including  failure of such
acquisitions   to  perform  in  accordance   with   projections,   and  possible
environmental  liabilities,  including  costs  which  may  be  incurred  due  to
necessary  remediation of continued  qualification  as a real estate  investment
trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code.  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 Salem Farms  Manufactured Home Community (Note 1) for
the year ended December 31, 1997.  This statement is the  responsibility  of the
management of The Salem Farms 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 Salem Farms Manufactured Home Community for
the  year  ended  December  31,  1997  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Asset Investors Corporation

We have audited the  accompanying  statement of excess of revenues over specific
operating  expenses of The Mullica Woods Adult  Community  (Note 1) for the year

of The  Mullica  Woods  Adult  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

ended  December  31,  1997 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

transactions  have been made.  The  unaudited Pro Forma  condensed  consolidated

     straight-line  basis over the  estimated  useful  lives of the assets.  The
