PART I
Item 1. Business
ILM I Lease Corporation (the "Company") was formed in 1995 by ILM Senior
Living, Inc., formerly PaineWebber Independent Living Mortgage Fund, Inc. ("ILM
I"), a publicly-held, non-traded Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), for the
purpose of operating eight rental housing projects that provide independent
living and assisted living services for senior citizens (the "Senior Housing
Facilities") under the terms of a master lease agreement. ILM I contributed
$700,000 to the Company in return for all of the issued and outstanding shares
of the Company's common stock. ILM I had originally made mortgage loans secured
by the Senior Housing Facilities to Angeles Housing Concepts, Inc. ("AHC")
between June 1989 and July 1992. In March 1993, AHC defaulted under the terms of
such mortgage loans and in connection with the settlement of such default, title
to the Senior Housing Facilities was transferred, effective April 1, 1994, to
certain majority-owned, indirect subsidiaries of ILM I, subject to the mortgage
loans. Subsequently, the indirect subsidiaries of ILM I were merged into ILM
Holding, Inc. ("ILM Holding"). As part of the fiscal 1994 settlement agreement
with AHC, AHC was retained as the property manager for all of the Senior Housing
Facilities pursuant to the terms of a management agreement (the "Agreement")
which was assigned to the Company as of September 1, 1995. As discussed further
in Item 7, the Agreement with AHC was terminated in July 1996.
ILM I has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended ("the Code"), for each taxable year of operations. In order
to maintain its status as a REIT, 75% of ILM I's annual gross income must be
qualified rental income as defined by the Code. The rent paid by the residents
of the Senior Housing Facilities likely would not be deemed to be qualified
rental income because of the extent of services provided to residents.
Consequently, the operation of the Senior Housing Facilities by ILM I or its
subsidiaries over an extended period of time could adversely affect ILM I's
status as a REIT. Therefore, ILM I formed the Company to operate the Senior
Housing Facilities, and by means of a distribution, transferred the ownership of
the common stock of the Company to the holders of ILM I common stock. Because
the Company, which is taxed as a regular C corporation, is no longer a
subsidiary of ILM I, it can receive service-related income without endangering
the REIT status of ILM I. On September 1, 1995, after ILM I received the
required regulatory approval, it distributed all of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company to the holders of record of ILM I's common stock.
One share of common stock of the Company was issued for each full share of ILM
I's common stock held. No fractional shares were issued. Holders of ILM I's
common stock were not required to pay any cash or other consideration or to
exchange their common stock of ILM for the common stock of the Company. Prior to
the distribution of the Company's stock, ILM I's shareholders received an
information statement fully describing the Company and the distribution of its
capital stock.
The master lease agreement, which commenced on September 1, 1995, is
between ILM Holding, as owner of the properties and lessor, and the Company, as
lessee. The master lease is a "triple-net" lease whereby the lessee pays all
operating expenses, governmental taxes and assessments, utility charges and
insurance premiums, as well as the costs of all required maintenance, personal
property and non-structural repairs in connection with the operation of the
Senior Housing Facilities. ILM Holding, as the lessor, is responsible for all
major capital improvements and structural repairs to the Senior Housing
Facilities. During the initial term of the master lease, which expires on
December 31, 1999, the Company is obligated to pay annual base rent for the use
of all of the Facilities in the aggregate amount of $5,886,000 for calendar year
1995 (prorated based on the lease commencement date) and $6,364,800 for calendar
year 1996 and each subsequent year. Beginning in January 1997 and for the
remainder of the lease term, the Company is also obligated to pay variable rent
for each Senior Housing Facility. Such variable rent is payable quarterly and
will equal 40% of the excess, if any, of the aggregate total revenues for the
Senior Housing Facilities, on an annualized basis, over $16,996,000.

The facilities which the Company has leased from ILM Holding as of August
31, 1997 are described below:

(1) See Notes to the Financial Statements filed with this Annual Report for a
description of the agreements through which the Company has leased these
facilities.
(2) The Santa Barbara facility is jointly leased by the Company and an
affiliated company, ILM II Lease Corporation ("Lease II"). The Company and
Lease II have entered into a joint tenancy agreement which governs the
operation of the property and the apportionment of revenues and expenses
between the parties. Any amounts generated by the operations of the Santa
Barbara property are equitably apportioned between the Company and Lease
II (25% and 75%, respectively).
The Senior Housing Facilities are subject to competition from similar
properties in the vicinities in which they are located. The properties are
located in areas with significant senior citizen populations and, as a result
there are, and will likely continue to be, a variety of competing projects aimed
at attracting senior residents. Such projects will generally compete on the
basis of rental rates, services, amenities and location. The Company has no real
estate investments located outside the United States. The Company's sole
business is the operation of the Senior Housing Facilities. Therefore,
presentation of information about industry segments is not applicable.
Through June 18, 1997, and subject to the supervision of and pursuant to
the general policies set by the Company's Board of Directors, assistance in
managing the business of the Company was provided by PaineWebber Lease Advisor,
L.P. ("PaineWebber"). For discussion purposes, PaineWebber will refer to
PaineWebber Lease Advisor, L.P. and all affiliates of PaineWebber that provided
services to the Company in the past. PaineWebber resigned from this position
effective as of June 18, 1997. PaineWebber agreed to perform certain
administrative services for the Company and its affiliates through August 31,
1997. Through the date of its resignation, PaineWebber performed the day-to-day
operations of the Company and acted as the investment advisor and consultant for
the Company. PaineWebber provided cash management, accounting, tax preparation,
financial reporting, investor communications and relations as well as asset
management services to the Company. These services are now being provided to the
Company, subject to the supervision of the Company's Board of Directors, by
various companies and consultants including Fleet Bank, Ernst & Young LLP,
MAVRICC Management Systems,
I-2
<PAGE>
Item 1. Business (continued)
Inc. and an affiliate, Capital Senior Living Corporation ("Capital"). In
addition, C. David Carlson, who was a Vice President of ILM I until the date of
PaineWebber's resignation and a Vice President of PaineWebber through October
1997, where he served as Portfolio Manager to the Company, now serves as a
consultant to the Company.
The resignation of PaineWebber is discussed further below.
There currently are four directors of the Company. The directors are
subject to removal by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock. The directors are responsible for the
general policies of the Company, but they are not required to personally conduct
the business of the Company in their capacities as directors.
The terms of transactions between the Company and PaineWebber are set
forth in Items 11 and 13 below to which reference is hereby made for a
description of such terms and transactions. As discussed further in Item 7, the
Company retained Capital to be the manager of the Senior Housing Facilities. The
management contract with Capital was executed in July 1996. In November 1996,
Lawrence A. Cohen, a Director of the Company and President, Chief Executive
Officer and Director of ILM I, became Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer
of Capital Senior Living Corporation, an affiliate of Capital. As a result, the
management contract with Capital is considered a related party transaction (see
Item 13).
At a meeting of the ILM I and ILM II Senior Living, Inc., formerly
PaineWebber Independent Living Mortgage Fund II, Inc. ("ILM II), Board(s) of
Directors on January 10, 1997, PaineWebber recommended the immediate sale of the
Senior Housing Facilities operated by the Company and held by ILM I as well as
the Senior Housing Facilities held by an affiliated entity, ILM II by means of a
controlled auction to be conducted by PaineWebber, at no additional
compensation, with PaineWebber offering to purchase the Senior Housing
Facilities held by ILM I and ILM II for $127 million, thereby guaranteeing the
Shareholders a "floor" price. The Senior Housing Facilities operated by the
Company under its master lease with ILM Holding would represent approximately
$75 million of this amount. After taxes and closing costs, net proceeds to ILM I
would equal approximately $71 million or approximately $9.41 per share of ILM I
common stock. PaineWebber also stated that if it purchased the properties at the
specified price and were then able to resell the properties at a higher price,
PaineWebber would pay any "excess profits" to the Shareholders. To assist the
Company and ILM I in evaluating PaineWebber's proposal, a disinterested,
independent investment banking firm with expertise in healthcare REITs and
independent/assisted living financings was engaged by the Company, ILM I and ILM
II and their affiliates. Following a comprehensive analysis, the investment
banker recommended that PaineWebber's proposal should be declined and that
instead investigation of expansion and restructuring alternatives should be
pursued. After analyzing PaineWebber's proposal and the recommendations and
other information provided by the independent investment banker, the Boards of
ILM I and ILM II voted unanimously to decline PaineWebber's proposal and to
explore the alternatives recommended by the independent investment banking firm.
The Boards declined to seek an immediate sale of the properties because, in the
Board's view, the liquidation price would not reflect the "going concern" values
of ILM I and ILM II and, therefore, would not maximize shareholder value. In
addition, the Boards did not consider it advisable to liquidate ILM I and ILM II
on the suggested terms three years prior to their scheduled termination date.
PaineWebber indicated to the ILM I and ILM II Board(s) in its January 10,
1997 proposal that it would not wish to continue to serve as advisor to ILM I,
ILM II and their affiliates if they declined to accept PaineWebber's proposal.
The Company, Lease II, ILM I, and ILM II accepted the resignation of
PaineWebber, effective June 18, 1997. PaineWebber continued to provide certain
administrative services to the Company; Lease II, ILM I, ILM II and their
affiliates through August 31, 1997, pursuant to the terms of a transition
services agreement entered into with ILM I, ILM II and their affiliates. The
Company, Lease II, ILM I, ILM II and their affiliates also accepted, effective
as of June 18, 1997, the resignations of those officers and directors who were
employees of or otherwise affiliated with PaineWebber.
In addition, the Company and ILM I continue to review various
restructuring alternatives. The Company and ILM I are considering a merger of
the Company with ILM II, a merger of the Company with ILM II Lease Corporation
("Lease II") and other business combinations. The Company has not fully
evaluated any of these
I-3

alternatives and is not in a position at this time to recommend any actions to
the Shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will recommend
taking any of the actions identified above or any others which may be
recommended by its investment bankers.
Item 2. Properties
As of August 31, 1997, the Company has leased the eight operating
properties referred to under Item 1 to which reference is made for the

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On July 29, 1996, the Company and ILM Holding ("the Companies")
terminated the Agreement with AHC covering the eight Senior Housing Facilities
leased by the Company. The Agreement was terminated for cause pursuant to
Sections 1.05(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) of the Agreement. Simultaneously with the
termination of the Agreement, the Companies, together with certain affiliated
entities, filed suit against AHC in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty
and fraud. The Companies allege that AHC willfully performed actions
specifically in violation of the Agreement and that such actions caused damages
to the Companies. Due to the termination of the Agreement for cause, no
termination fee was paid to AHC. Subsequent to the termination of the Agreement,
AHC filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in its
domestic state of California. The filing was challenged by the Companies, and
the Bankruptcy Court dismissed AHC's case effective October 15, 1996. In
November 1996, AHC filed with the Virginia District Court an Answer in response
to the litigation initiated by the Companies and a counterclaim against ILM II
Holding. The counterclaim alleges that the Agreement was wrongfully terminated
for cause and requests damages which include the payment of the termination fee
in the amount of $1,250,000, payment of management fees pursuant to the contract
from August 1, 1996 through October 15, 1996, which is the earliest date that
the Agreement could have been terminated without cause, and recovery of
attorney's fees and expenses. The aggregate
I-4
<PAGE>
Item 3. Legal Proceedings (continued)
amount of damages against all parties as requested in AHC's counterclaim exceeds
$2,000,000. ILM I has guaranteed the payment of the termination fee at issue in
these proceedings to the extent that any termination fee is deemed payable by
the court and in the event that the Company fails to perform pursuant to its
contractual obligations. The court initially set a trial date of April 28, 1997
but, at AHC's request, rescheduled the trial for June 23, 1997. On June 13, 1997
and July 8, 1997, the court issued orders to enter judgment against ILM I and
ILM II in the amount of $1,000,000 (the "Orders"). In so doing, the court
effectively canceled the June 23, 1997 trial date. The Orders do not contain any
findings of fact or conclusions of law. On July 10, 1997, the Company, ILM I,
ILM II and Lease II filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from the Orders. The Company intends to
diligently prosecute the appeal. Although the eventual outcome of this
litigation cannot presently be determined, a provision of $600,000 for the
liability which might result to the Company from the Orders has been recorded as
"termination fee payable" in the accompanying financial statements. The
remaining $400,000 has been recorded on the financial statements of Lease II.
On February 4, 1997, AHC filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of the
State of California against Capital, Lawrence A. Cohen, and others alleging that
the defendants intentionally interfered with AHC's Agreement with ILM Holding by
inducing ILM Holding to terminate the Agreement (the "California litigation").
The complaint seeks damages of at least $2,000,000. On March 4, 1997, the
defendants moved the case to Federal District Court in the Central District of
California. Trial in the action is expected to occur in 1998 and discovery has
just begun. At a Board meeting on February 26, 1997, the Company's Board of
Directors concluded that since all of Mr. Cohen's actions relating to the
California litigation were taken either on behalf of the Company under the
direction of the Board or as a PaineWebber employee, the Company or its
affiliates should indemnify Mr. Cohen with respect to any expenses arising from
the California litigation, subject to any insurance recoveries for those
expenses. The Company's Board also concluded that, subject to certain
conditions, the Company or its affiliates should advance up to $20,000 to pay
reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Capital in the California
litigation. Subsequently, the Boards of the Company and Lease II voted to
increase the maximum amount of the advance to Capital to $100,000. By the end of
November 1997, Capital had incurred $100,000 of legal expenses in the California
litigation. On February 2, 1998, the amount to be advanced to Capital was
increased to include 75% of the California litigation legal fees and costs
incurred by Capital for December 1997 and January 1998, plus 75% of such legal
fees and costs incurred by Capital thereafter, not to exceed $500,000. The
defendants intend to vigorously defend the claims made against them in the
California litigation. The eventual outcome of this litigation cannot presently
be determined and, accordingly, no provision for any liability has been recorded
in the accompanying financial statements.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.

<PAGE>
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Shares and Related Stockholder Matters
Prior to September 1, 1995, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ILM I. Pursuant to a reorganization and distribution agreement, ILM I
capitalized the Company with $700,000, an amount estimated to provide the
Company with necessary working capital. On September 1, 1995, MAVRICC Management
Systems, Inc., as the distribution agent, caused to be issued on the stock
records of the Company the distributed common stock of the Company, in
uncertificated form, to the holders of record of ILM I common stock at the close
of business on July 14, 1995. One share of the Company's common stock was
distributed for each outstanding share of ILM I common stock. No certificates or
scrip representing fractional shares of the Company's common stock were issued
to holders of ILM I common stock as part of the distribution. In lieu of
receiving fractional shares, each holder of ILM I common stock who would
otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of the Company's
common stock received a cash payment equivalent to $0.15 per share for such
fractional interest. At August 31, 1997, there were 5,340 record holders of the
Company's shares. The shares do not trade on an established exchange and the
only market that has developed is a secondary market. Although PaineWebber and
others may endeavor to assist Shareholders desiring to sell their shares by
attempting to match requests to sell shares with requests to purchase shares,
such transfers are not expected to be frequent.
The Company did not pay cash dividends in fiscal years 1997 and 1996. The
Company intends to review this policy during fiscal 1998, and may or may not
determine to pay cash dividends in the future. Payment of dividends, if any,
will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend
upon such factors as the Company's financial condition, earnings, anticipated
investments and other relevant factors.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company was formed in 1995 by ILM I, a publicly-held, non-traded
REIT, for the purpose of operating eight Senior Housing Facilities under the
terms of a master lease agreement. ILM I contributed $700,000 in return for all
of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. ILM I had
originally made mortgage loans secured by the Senior Housing Facilities to AHC
between June 1989 and July 1992. In March 1993, AHC defaulted under the terms of
such mortgage loans and in connection with the settlement of such default, title
to the Senior Housing Facilities was transferred, effective April 1, 1994, to
certain majority-owned, indirect subsidiaries of ILM I, subject to the mortgage
loans. Subsequently, these indirect subsidiaries were merged into ILM Holding,
which is also a majority-owned subsidiary of ILM I. As part of the fiscal 1994
settlement agreement with AHC, AHC was retained as the property manager for the
Senior Housing Facilities pursuant to the terms of an Agreement which was
assigned to the Company as of September 1, 1995. As discussed further below, the
Agreement with AHC was terminated in July 1996.
ILM I has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended ("the Code"), for each taxable year of operations. In order
to maintain its status as a REIT, 75% of ILM I's annual gross income must be
qualified rental income as defined by the Code. The rent paid by the residents
of the Senior Housing Facilities likely would not be deemed to be qualified
rental income because of the extent of services provided to residents.
Consequently, the operation of the Senior Housing Facilities by ILM I or its
subsidiaries over an extended period of time could adversely affect ILM I's
status as a REIT. Therefore, ILM I formed the Company to operate the Senior
Housing Facilities, and by means of a distribution, transferred the ownership of
the common stock of the Company to the holders of ILM I common stock. Because
the Company, which is taxed as a regular C corporation, is no longer a
subsidiary of ILM I, it can receive service-related income without endangering
the REIT status of ILM I. On September 1, 1995, after ILM I received the
required regulatory approval, it distributed all of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company to the holders of record of ILM I's common stock.
One share of common stock of the Company was issued for each full share of ILM
I's common stock held. No fractional shares were issued. Holders of ILM I's
common stock were not required to pay any cash or other consideration or to
exchange their common stock of ILM I for the common stock of the Company. Prior
to the distribution of the Company's stock, ILM I's shareholders received an
information statement fully describing the Company and the distribution of its
capital stock.
The master lease agreement, which commenced on September 1, 1995, is
between ILM Holding, as owner of the properties and lessor, and the Company, as
lessee. The master lease is a "triple-net" lease whereby the Company, as the
lessee, pays all operating expenses, governmental taxes and assessments, utility
charges and insurance premiums, as well as the costs of all required
maintenance, personal property and non-structural repairs in connection with the
operation of the Senior Housing Facilities. ILM Holding, as the lessor, is
responsible for all major capital improvements and structural repairs to the
Senior Housing Facilities. If the Company and ILM Holding decide that any of the
Senior Housing Facilities should be expanded, the master lease agreement between
the Company and ILM Holding would be amended to include such expansion. During
the initial term of the master lease, which expires on December 31, 1999, the
Company is obligated to pay annual base rent for the use of all of the Senior
Housing Facilities in the aggregate amount of $5,886,000 for calendar year 1995
(prorated based on the lease commencement date) and $6,364,800 for calendar year
1996 and each subsequent year. Beginning in January 1997 and for the remainder
of the lease term, the Company is also obligated to pay variable rent for each
Senior Housing Facility. Such variable rent is payable quarterly and will equal
40% of the excess, if any, of the aggregate total revenues for the Senior
Housing Facilities, on an annualized basis, over $16,996,000. Variable rent
expense related to fiscal year 1997 was $314,892.
At the present time, ILM Holding is not expected to have sufficient cash
flow during fiscal 1998 to (i) meet its obligations to make the debt service
payments due under its mortgage loans with ILM I, (ii) pay for capital
improvements and structural repairs in accordance with the terms of the master
lease, and (iii) pay for costs that may be incurred in defending AHC's
counterclaim against ILM Holding, as discussed further below.
II-2
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
As noted above, the Company's master lease is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 1999. This period coincides with the end of ILM I's expected
holding period for its investments in the Senior Housing Facilities. While such
holding period is subject to change, the current Articles of Incorporation of
ILM I provide that the liquidation of ILM I must be completed by no later than
December 31, 2004. The liquidation of ILM I and ILM Holding prior to completion
of a ten-year period, ending in January 2006, would result in a tax gain of as
much as $2.9 million. To avoid this tax gain, the directors of the ILM I and ILM
II would be required to extend the liquidation date to the end of the ten-year
period. Any further renewals of the master lease beyond December 1999 would be
subject to negotiation between the Company and ILM I and its consolidated
affiliate. Accordingly, since the Company does not have any current plans to
operate or own any other facilities or engage in any other business outside of
its relationship with ILM I, there is no assurance that the Company's operations
will continue beyond December 1999.
Following the termination of its advisory relationship with PaineWebber
(see "Item 1. Business"), the Company and ILM I continue the review of various
restructuring alternatives. The Company and ILM I are considering a merger of
the Company with ILM II, a merger of ILM I with ILM II Lease Corporation ("Lease
II") and other business combinations. The Company has not fully evaluated any of
these alternatives and is not in a position at this time to recommend any
actions to the Shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will
recommend taking any of the actions identified above or any others which may be
recommended by its investment bankers.
On July 29, 1996, the Company terminated the Agreement with AHC covering
eight Senior Housing Facilities leased by the Company (see "Item 3, Legal
Proceedings"). Subsequent to terminating the property management agreement (see
"Item 7"), the Company retained Capital to be the manager of the Senior Housing
Facilities pursuant to a management agreement ("Management Agreement") which
commenced on July 29, 1996. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, Capital
will earn a base management fee equal to 4% of the gross operating revenues of
the Senior Housing Facilities, as defined. Capital will also be eligible to earn
an incentive management fee equal to 25% of the amount by which the average
monthly net cash flow of the Senior Housing Facilities, as defined, for the
twelve month period ending on the last day of each calendar month exceeds a
specified base amount. Each August 31, beginning on August 31, 1997, the base
amount will be increased annually based on the percentage increase in the
consumer price index. ILM I has guaranteed the payment of all fees due to
Capital under the terms of the Management Agreement.
The eight properties which the Company leases from ILM Holding averaged
95% occupancy as of August 31, 1997. The Senior Housing Facilities generated
sufficient net cash flow to cover the master lease rental obligation during the
initial year of the Company's operation. In addition, current annualized
operating income levels are sufficient to cover the base master lease payments
at their current annualized level of $6,364,800, which will remain in effect
throughout the remaining term of the lease. As noted above, the master lease
also provides for the payment of variable rent beginning in January 1997. The
Senior Housing Facilities are currently generating gross revenues which are in
excess of the specified threshold in the variable rent calculation, as discussed
further above. Accordingly, the Company had variable rental expense in fiscal
year 1997 in the amount of $314,892.
The Company and ILM I have been pursuing additional steps to increase
cash flow and shareholder value. Several new programs were adopted during fiscal
1997 across the Company's portfolio which are resulting in increased revenues
and cash flow from the properties. These steps include increasing the number of
rentable apartment units as live-in facility managers move from the properties
and increasing rental rates at properties that have maintained high occupancy
levels and are located in strong markets. Another program to increase revenues
and cash flow involves pursuing the potential for future expansions of several
of the facilities which are located in areas that have particularly strong
markets for senior housing. Potential expansion candidates include the
facilities located in Raleigh, North Carolina, East Lansing, Michigan, Omaha,
Nebraska, Peoria, Illinois and Hot Springs, Arkansas. As part of this expansion
program, approximately two acres of land located adjacent to the Raleigh
facility were acquired by ILM Holding for $450,000 during fiscal 1997. In
addition, approximately two acres of land located adjacent to the East Lansing
facility and approximately three and one-half acres of land located adjacent to
the Omaha facility were acquired by ILM Holding subsequent to August 31, 1997,
for $200,000 and $400,000, respectively. In addition, an agreement has been
obtained by ILM Holding to purchase approximately five acres of
II-3
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
land located adjacent to the Peoria facility for approximately $600,000 and
closing is expected to occur during fiscal 1998 contingent on due diligence
activities. The Hot Springs facility already includes a vacant parcel of
approximately two acres which could accommodate an expansion of the existing
facility or the construction of a new free-standing facility. Preliminary
feasibility evaluations have been completed for all of these potential
expansions and pre-construction design and construction-cost evaluations are
underway for expansions of the facilities located in Raleigh and Omaha. Once the
pre-construction design process is complete and projected expansion construction
costs are determined, the Company and ILM Holding will carefully evaluate the
costs and benefits before proceeding with the construction of any of these
expansions. If the Company and ILM Holding decide to proceed with any of these
expansions, the master lease agreement between the Company and ILM Holding will
be amended to include such expansion. Depending on the extent of any expansions
deemed appropriate, such plans could result in the need for substantial capital.
ILM Holding is currently negotiating with a major bank to provide a construction
loan facility that, when finalized, will provide up to $24.5 million to fund the
capital costs of these potential expansion programs. The construction loan
facility is expected to be secured by a first mortgage of the Senior Housing
Facilities operated by the Company and collateral assignment of the Company's
leases of such properties.
At August 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$1,473,000. Such amounts will be used for the Company's working capital
requirements. As noted above, under the terms of the master lease, the Lessor is
responsible for any major capital improvements or structural repairs to the
Senior Housing Facilities. Consequently, the Company does not have any material
commitments for capital expenditures. Furthermore, the Company does not
currently anticipate the need to engage in any borrowing activities. As a
result, substantially all of the Company's cash flow will be generated from
operating activities. The Company did not pay cash dividends in fiscal years
1997 and 1996. The Company intends to review this policy during fiscal 1998,
subsequent to the commencement of the variable rent payments discussed further
above, and may or may not determine to pay cash dividends in the future. Payment
of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors and will depend upon such factors as the Company's financial
condition, earnings, anticipated investments and other relevant factors. The
source of future liquidity is expected to be from operating cash flow from the
Senior Housing Facilities, net of the master lease payments to ILM Holding, and
interest income earned on invested cash reserves. Such sources of liquidity are
expected to be adequate to meet the Company's operating requirements on both a
short-term and long-term basis.
1997 Compared to 1996 Results of Operations
Revenues. Total revenues were $18,121,000 for the year ended August 31,
1997, compared to $17,285,000 for the year ended August 31, 1996, representing
an increase of $836,000, or 4.8%. Rental and other income from the Company's
senior housing operations increased $822,000 primarily as a result of improved
occupancies and increases in rental rates at certain of the facilities located
in strong markets.
Expenses. Total expenses were $18,600,000 in 1997 compared to $16,682,000
in 1996, representing an increase of $1,918,000, or 11.5%. This increase was
principally comprised of increases in master lease expense of $315,000, dietary
and food service salaries, wages and expenses of $262,000, administrative
salaries, wages and expenses of $171,000, general and administrative expenses of
$545,000 and other property operating expenses of $136,000, as well as the
$600,000 termination fee expense which was incurred in 1997 (see "Item 3, Legal
Proceedings"). These increases were offset, in part, by a decrease in property
management fees as a result of the July 1996 change in property managers. The
increase in master lease expense is the result of variable rents due under the
Master Lease Agreement for the first time in 1997. General and administrative
expense increased as a result of higher AHC litigation expenses in 1997 coupled
with the analysis of restructuring alternatives performed by an independent
investment banking firm. The increases in other operating costs cited above was
the result of higher operating levels associated with improved occupancies and
the implementation of a health insurance program for property-level staff.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased from $241,000 in 1996 to
a benefit of $192,000 in 1997 as a result of a net loss before taxes of $479,000
as the effective income tax rate was 40% in both years.
II-4
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Net income. Primarily as a result of the factors discussed above, net
income decreased from $362,000 in 1996 to a net loss of $287,000 in 1997.
1996 Compared to 1995 Results of Operations
Prior to the commencement of the master lease agreement on September 1,
1995, the Company had no significant operating activities. As a result, the
comparison of fiscal 1996 results to any prior period is not relevant.
Inflation
The Company completed its second full year of operations in fiscal 1997.
The effects of inflation and changes in prices on the Company's operating
results to date have not been significant.
Inflation in future periods is likely to cause increases in the Company's
expenses, which may be partially offset by increases in revenues from the tenant
leases at the Senior Housing Facilities. Rental revenues may tend to rise with
inflation since the rental rates on the tenant leases, which are short-term in
nature, can be adjusted to keep pace with inflation as market conditions allow.
As noted above, under the terms of the master lease agreement between the
Company and ILM Holding, the Company is obligated to pay variable rent, in
addition to the base rent owed, in an amount equal to 40% of the excess of total
revenues from the Senior Housing Facilities over a specified base amount.
Accordingly, to the extent that the total revenues are in excess of this
threshold, a portion of the increase in revenues would be payable to the Lessor.

John B. Watts III is a Director of the Company and of Lease II. Mr.

(f) Compliance With Exchange Act Filing Requirements: The Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 requires the officers and directors of the Company, and
persons who own more than ten percent of the Company's outstanding common stock,
to file certain reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and ten-percent
beneficial holders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it,
the Company believes that, during the year ended August 31, 1997, there was
compliance with all filing requirements applicable to its officers and directors
and ten-percent beneficial holders.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The Company's independent directors are entitled to receive total
annual compensation of $9,000 plus $500 for attending each board of directors
meeting and reimbursement for expenses incurred in attending meetings and as a
result of other work performed for the Company. Officers of the Company are not
compensated. Lawrence A. Cohen is an employee of Capital Senior Living
Corporation, an affiliate of Capital. Jeffry R. Dwyer is an employee of
Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen & Quental, P.A., which acts as
Counsel to the Company. The former officers of the Company who were also
officers of PaineWebber received compensation from PaineWebber which indirectly
related to services to the Company because the Company was required to pay
certain fees to PaineWebber as described in Item 13. When PaineWebber resigned
as advisor to the Company, the former officers resigned effective the same date,
therefore no services were provided by such persons subsequent to June 18, 1997.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
(a) As of the date hereof, no person of record owns or is known by the
Registrant to own beneficially more than five percent of the outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company.
(b) The directors and officers of the Company do not have any direct or
indirect ownership of shares of the Company's common stock as of the date
hereof.
(c) There exists no arrangement, known to the Company, the operation of
which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Through June 18, 1997, and subject to the supervision of and pursuant
to the general policies set by the Company's Board of Directors, assistance in
managing the business of the Company was provided by PaineWebber.
Under the advisory agreement, PaineWebber had specific management
responsibilities; to perform day-to-day operations of the Company and to act as
the investment advisor and consultant for the Company in connection with general
policy and investment decisions. PaineWebber received a fee in an amount equal
to 0.5% of the gross operating revenue of the facilities. PaineWebber earned
management fees totaling $70,000 and $86,000 for the years ended August 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. PaineWebber was reimbursed for direct expenses relating
to the administration of the Company. PaineWebber performed certain accounting,
tax preparation, securities law compliance and investor communications and
relations services for the Company. Included in general and
III-2
<PAGE>
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions (continued)
administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of income for the year
ended August 31, 1997 and 1996 are $80,000 and $73,000, respectively,
representing reimbursement to PaineWebber for providing such services to the
Company. As discussed in Items 1 and 7, the Company, ILM I, ILM II and their
affiliates accepted the resignation of PaineWebber effective as of June 18,
1997. The Company, ILM I, ILM II and their affiliates and PaineWebber entered
into a transition services agreement pursuant to which PaineWebber would
continue to provide certain administrative services to the Company, ILM I, ILM
II and their affiliates through August 31, 1997.
The Company retained Capital to be the manager of the Senior Housing
Facilities pursuant to a Management Agreement which commenced on July 29, 1996.
In November 1996, Lawrence A. Cohen, a Director of the Company and President,
Chief Executive Officer and Director of ILM I, became Vice Chairman and Chief
Financial Officer of Capital Senior Living Corporation, an affiliate of Capital.
As a result, the Management Agreement with Capital is considered a related party
transaction. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, Capital will earn a
base management fee equal to 4% of the gross operating revenues of the Senior
Housing Facilities, as defined. Capital will also be eligible to earn an
incentive management fee equal to 25% of the amount by which the average monthly
net cash flow of the Senior Housing Facilities, as defined, for the twelve month
period ending on the last day of each calendar month exceeds a specified base
amount. Each August 31, beginning on August 31, 1997, the base amount will be
increased annually based on the percentage increase in the consumer price index.
ILM I has guaranteed the payment of all fees due to Capital under the terms of
the Management Agreement. Capital earned total management fees of $841,000 and
$75,000 for the years ended August 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Jeffry R. Dwyer is an employee of Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff,
Rosen & Quental, P.A., which acts as Counsel to the Company and its affiliates.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG, LLP INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Shareholders of
ILM I Lease Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ILM I Lease
Corporation as of August 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended August 31, 1997, and the period from September 12,
1994 (inception) to August 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ILM I Lease
Corporation at August 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 1997,
and the period from September 12, 1994 (inception) to August 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ILM I LEASE CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization, Restructuring, and Nature of Operations
ILM I Lease Corporation ("the Company") was organized as a corporation
on September 12, 1994 under the laws of the state of Virginia. Through
August 31, 1995, the Company had no significant operations. The Company was
formed by ILM Senior Living, Inc., formerly PaineWebber Independent
Mortgage Fund, Inc. ("ILM I") to operate eight rental housing projects that
provide independent living and assisted living services for independent
senior citizens ("the Senior Housing Facilities") under a master lease
arrangement. ILM I initially made mortgage loans to Angeles Housing
Concepts, Inc. ("AHC") secured by the Senior Housing Facilities between
June 1989 and July 1992. In March 1993, AHC defaulted under the terms of
such mortgage loans and in connection with the settlement of such default,
title to the Senior Housing Facilities was transferred, effective April 1,
1994, to certain majority-owned, indirect subsidiaries of ILM I, subject to
the mortgage loans. Subsequently, the indirect subsidiaries of ILM I were
merged into ILM Holding, Inc. ("ILM Holding"). As part of the fiscal 1994
settlement agreement with AHC, AHC was retained as the property manager for
all of the Senior Housing Facilities pursuant to the terms of a management
agreement (the "Agreement") which was assigned to the Company as of
September 1, 1995. As discussed further in Note 6, the Agreement with AHC
was terminated in July 1996. ILM I has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("the Code"), for each taxable year of operations. In order to
maintain its status as a REIT, 75% of ILM I's annual gross income must be
qualified rental income as defined by the Code. The rent paid by the
residents of the Senior Housing Facilities likely would not be deemed to be
qualified rental income because of the extent of services provided to
residents. Consequently, the operation of the Senior Housing Facilities by
ILM I or its subsidiaries over an extended period of time could adversely
affect ILM I's status as a REIT. Therefore, ILM I formed the Company to
operate the Senior Housing Facilities, and by means of a distribution,
transferred the ownership of the common stock of the Company to the holders
of ILM I common stock on September 1, 1995 (see Note 4). Because the
Company, which is taxed as a regular C corporation, is no longer a
subsidiary of ILM I, it can receive service-related income without
endangering the REIT status of ILM I.
The Company's sole business is the operations of the Senior Housing
Facilities. The Company has initially leased the Senior Housing Facilities
from ILM Holding, a majority-owned and consolidated affiliate of ILM I
which currently holds title to the Senior Housing Facilities, pursuant to a
master lease which commenced on September 1, 1995 and expires on December
31, 1999 (see Note 5). The Company has entered into a property management
agreement with Capital Senior Management 2, Inc. of Dallas, Texas
("Capital") to handle the day-to-day operations of the Senior Housing
Facilities. The management contract with Capital was executed in July 1996.
In November 1996, Lawrence A. Cohen, a director of the Company and
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of ILM I, became Vice
Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Capital Senior Living Corporation,
an affiliate of Capital. As a result, the agreement with Capital is
considered a related party transaction (see Note 3).
2. Use of Estimates and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles which require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of August 31, 1997 and
1996 and revenues and expenses for the years ended August 31, 1997 and
1996, and the period from September 12, 1994 (date of inception) to August
31, 1995. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions
used.
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at the lower of cost,
reduced by accumulated depreciation, or fair value in accordance with FAS
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of." Depreciation expense is provided on a
straight-line basis using an estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years.

ILM I LEASE CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Units at the Senior Housing Facilities are generally rented for terms
of twelve months or less. The base rent charged varies depending on the
unit size, with added fees collected for more than one occupant per unit
and for assisted living services. Included in the amount of base rent
charged are certain meals, housekeeping, medical and social services
provided to the residents of each Facility.
The Company rents the Senior Housing Facilities from ILM Holding
pursuant to a multi-year operating lease. Rent expense is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Deferred rent
payable represents the difference between rent expense recognized on a
straight-line basis and cash paid for rent pursuant to the terms of the
lease agreement.
The Company's policy is to expense all advertising costs as incurred.
Advertising expenses were $882,770 and $914,770 for the years ended August
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities appearing on the accompanying balance sheets represent
financial instruments for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments."
The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximates their fair
value as of August 31, 1997 due to the short-term nature of these
instruments.
Income tax expense is provided for using the liability method as
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days
or less.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128,
Earnings per Share, Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income and
Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, all effective for fiscal 1998. Statement No. 128 requires
changes to the calculation of earnings per share. Statement No. 130
requires reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in the financial statements. Statement No. 131 requires reporting about
operating segments and other disclosures about the business in its annual
and interim financial statements. The Company does not believe adoption of
these new Statements will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
3. Related Party Transactions
The Company entered into an advisory agreement ("Advisory Agreement")
with PaineWebber Lease Advisor, L.P. For discussion purposes, PaineWebber
Lease Advisor, L.P. and all affiliates of PaineWebber will be collectively
referred to as ("PaineWebber"). Subject to the supervision of and pursuant
to the general policies set by the Company's Board of Directors, assistance
in the managing of the business of the Company was provided by PaineWebber.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company engaged PaineWebber and
PaineWebber agreed to use its best efforts to manage the day-to-day affairs
and operations of the Company and to provide administrative services and
facilities appropriate for such management. The specific duties of
PaineWebber under the Advisory Agreement included recommending selections
of providers of professional and specialized services and handling other
managerial functions with respect to the Senior Housing Facilities.
PaineWebber was also obligated to provide office and clerical facilities
adequate for the Company's operations and to provide, or obtain others to
provide, accounting, custodial, funds collection and payment, stockholder
communications, legal and other services necessary in connection with the
Company's operations. The Advisory Agreement also obligated PaineWebber to
handle or arrange for the handling of the Company's financial and other
records.
F-8
<PAGE>
PaineWebber received a base fee in an amount equal to 0.5% of the
gross operating revenues of the Senior Housing Facilities operated by the
Company as compensation for its services. This fee amounted to $70,000 and
$86,000 for the years ended August 31, 1997 and 1996. In addition,
PaineWebber was entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in
providing certain financial, accounting and investor communication services
to the Company. Included in general and administrative expenses for the
year ended August 31, 1997 and 1996 was $80,000 and $73,000, representing
reimbursements to PaineWebber for providing such services to the Company.
In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, PaineWebber was
required to pay certain employment expenses of its personnel, certain
expenses of employees and agents of PaineWebber and of directors, officers
and employees of the Company who are also employees of PaineWebber, and
certain of its overhead and miscellaneous administrative expenses relating
to performance of its functions under the Advisory Agreement. The Company
was responsible for reimbursing out-of-pocket expenses of directors,
officers and employees of the Company incurred by them exclusively in such
capacity and for all other costs of its operations.
At a meeting of the ILM I and ILM Senior Living, Inc., formerly
PaineWebber Independent Living Mortgage Fund II, Inc. ("ILM II"), Board(s)
of Directors on January 10, 1997, PaineWebber recommended the immediate
sale of the Senior Housing Facilities operated by the Company and held by
ILM I as well as the Senior Housing Facilities held by an affiliated
entity, by means of a controlled auction to be conducted by PaineWebber, at
no additional compensation, with PaineWebber offering to purchase the
Senior Housing Facilities held by ILM I and ILM II for $127 million,
thereby guaranteeing the Shareholders a "floor" price. The Senior Housing
Facilities operated by the Company under its master lease with ILM Holding
would represent approximately $75 million of this amount. After taxes and
closing costs, net proceeds to ILM I would equal approximately $71 million
or approximately $9.41 per share of ILM I common stock. PaineWebber also
stated that if it purchased the properties at the specified price and were
then able to resell the properties at a higher price, PaineWebber would pay
any "excess profits" to the Shareholders. To assist the Company and ILM I
in evaluating PaineWebber's proposal, a disinterested, independent
investment banking firm with expertise in healthcare REITs and
independent/assisted living financings was engaged by the Company, ILM I
and ILM II and their affiliates. Following a comprehensive analysis, the
investment banker recommended that PaineWebber's proposal should be
declined and that instead, investigation of expansion and restructuring
alternatives should be pursued. After analyzing PaineWebber's proposal and
the recommendations and other information provided by the independent
investment banker, the Boards of ILM I and ILM II voted unanimously to
decline PaineWebber's proposal and to explore the alternatives recommended
by the independent investment banking firm. The Boards declined to seek an
immediate sale of the properties because, in the Board's view, the
liquidation price would not reflect the "going concern" values of ILM I and
ILM II and, therefore, would not maximize shareholder value. In addition,
the Boards did not consider it advisable to liquidate ILM I and ILM II on
the suggested terms three years prior to their scheduled termination date.
PaineWebber indicated to the Board in its January 10, 1997, proposal
that it would not wish to continue to serve as advisor to ILM I, ILM II and
their affiliates if they declined to accept PaineWebber's proposal. The
Company, Lease II, ILM I and ILM II accepted the resignation of PaineWebber
effective June 18, 1997. PaineWebber agreed to continue to provide certain
administrative services to the Company, Lease II, ILM I, ILM II and their
affiliates through August 31, 1997, pursuant to the terms of a transition
services agreement entered into with ILM I, ILM II and their affiliates.
The Company, Lease II, ILM I, ILM II and their affiliates also accepted,
effective June 18, 1997, the resignations of those officers and directors
who were employees or otherwise affiliated with PaineWebber. ILM I and ILM
II are currently evaluating various strategic alternatives, including the
possibility of becoming self-managed.
In addition, the Company and ILM I continue to review various
restructuring alternatives. The Company and ILM I are considering a merger
of the Company with ILM II, a merger of the Company with ILM II Lease
Corporation ("ILM II") and other business combinations. The Company has not
fully evaluated any of these
F-9
<PAGE>
alternatives and is not in a position at this time to recommend any actions
to the Shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will
recommend taking any of the actions identified above or any others which
may be recommended by its investment bankers.
The Company retained Capital to be the property manager of the Senior
Housing Facilities pursuant to a management agreement ("Management
Agreement") which commenced on July 29, 1996. As discussed in Note 1, a
director of the Company became an officer and director of Capital Senior
Living Corporation, an affiliate of Capital, subsequent to the commencement
of the Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement, Capital
generally is required to perform all operational functions necessary to
operate the Senior Housing Facilities other than certain administrative
functions. The functions performed by Capital include periodic reporting to
and coordinating with the Company, leasing the individual units in the
Senior Housing Facilities, hiring and supervising on-site personnel, and
performing maintenance. Under the terms of the Management Agreement,
Capital will earn a base management fee equal to 4% of the gross operating
revenues of the Senior Housing Facilities, as defined. Capital will also be
eligible to earn an incentive management fee equal to 25% of the amount by
which the average monthly net cash flow of the Senior Housing Facilities,
as defined, for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of each
calendar month exceeds a specified base amount. Each August 31, beginning
on August 31, 1997, the base amount will be increased annually based on the
percentage increase in the consumer price index. ILM I has guaranteed the
payment of all fees due to Capital under the terms of the Management
Agreement. Capital earned total management fees of $841,000 and $75,000 for
the years ended August 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
4. Capital Stock
Prior to September 1, 1995, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ILM I. Pursuant to a reorganization and distribution agreement, ILM I
capitalized the Company with $700,000, an amount estimated to provide the
Company with necessary working capital. On September 1, 1995, MAVRICC
Management Systems, Inc., as the distribution agent, caused to be issued on
the stock records of the Company the distributed Common Stock of the
Company, in uncertificated form, to the holders of record of ILM I Common
Stock at the close of business on July 14, 1995. One share of the Company's
Common Stock was distributed for each outstanding share of ILM I Common
Stock. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of the
Company's Common Stock were issued to holders of ILM I Common Stock as part
of the distribution. In lieu of receiving fractional shares, each holder of
ILM I Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a
fractional share of the Company's Common Stock received a cash payment
equivalent to $0.15 per share for such fractional interest.
5. The Master Lease Agreement
ILM Holding (the "Lessor") has leased the Senior Housing Facilities to
the Company (the "Lessee") pursuant to a master lease which commenced on
September 1, 1995. Under the terms of the master lease, which has a
scheduled expiration date of December 31, 1999, the Lessor has the right to
terminate the master lease as to any Senior Housing Facility sold as of the
date of such sale. The master lease is accounted for as an operating lease
in the Company's financial statements.

(2) The Company operates Villa Santa Barbara under a co-tenancy
arrangement with an affiliated company, ILM II Lease
Corporation ("Lease II"). The Company has entered into an
agreement with Lease II regarding such joint tenancy. Lease
II was formed for similar purposes as the Company by an
affiliated REIT, ILM II, whose indirect subsidiary owns a
portion of the Villa Santa Barbara property. The portion of
the Facility leased by the Company represents 25% of the
total project. Villa Santa Barbara is owned 25% by ILM
Holding and 75% by ILM II Holding, Inc.
Terms of the Master Lease Agreement
During the term of the master lease, the Company is obligated to pay
annual base rent ("Base Rent") for the Senior Housing Facilities. For
calendar year 1995, the annual Base Rent was $5,886,000 (prorated according
to the date of commencement of the master lease), allocated as follows:
$896,156 for the Michigan Facility, $566,914 for the Winston-Salem, North
Carolina Facility, $1,017,659 for the Raleigh, North Carolina Facility,
$892,600 for the Illinois Facility, $893,918 for the Nebraska Facility,
$855,702 for the Kansas Facility, $623,984 for the Arkansas Facility, and
$139,067 for the California Facility. For calendar year 1996 and subsequent
years, the annual Base Rent will be $6,364,800, allocated as follows:
$969,054 for the Michigan Facility, $613,030 for the Winston-Salem, North
Carolina Facility, $1,100,441 for the Raleigh, North Carolina Facility,
$965,209 for the Illinois Facility, $966,634 for the Nebraska Facility,
$925,310 for the Kansas Facility, $674,742 for the Arkansas Facility, and
$150,380 for the California Facility. The master lease is a "triple-net"
lease whereby the Lessee pays all operating expenses, governmental taxes
and assessments, utility charges and insurance premiums, as well as the
costs of all required maintenance, personal property and non-structural
repairs in connection with the operation of the Senior Housing Facilities
("Additional Rent"). ILM Holding, as the Lessor, is responsible for all
major capital improvements and structural repairs to the Senior Housing
Facilities. In addition, beginning in January 1997 and for the remainder of
the lease term, the Company will also be obligated to pay variable rent
("Variable Rent") for each Facility. Such Variable Rent will be payable
quarterly and will equal 40% of the excess, if any, of the aggregate total
revenues for the Facilities, on an annualized basis, over $16,996,000.
Variable rental expense related to fiscal year 1997 was $314,892.
Under the master lease, the Company's use of the Facilities is limited
to use as a Senior Housing Facility unless the Lessor's consent to some
other use is obtained. The Company has responsibility to obtain and
maintain all licenses, certificates and consents needed to use and operate
each Senior Housing Facility, and to use and maintain each Senior Housing
Facility in compliance with all local board of health and other applicable
governmental and insurance regulations. The Senior Housing Facilities
located in Arkansas, California and
F-11
<PAGE>
Kansas are licensed by such states to provide assisted living services.
Also, various health and safety regulations and standards which are
enforced by state and local authorities apply to the operation of all of
the Senior Housing Facilities. Violations of such health and safety
standards could result in fines, penalties, closure of a Senior Housing
Facility or other sanctions.
6. Contingencies
The Agreement between ILM Holding and AHC which covered the management
of all eight Senior Housing Facilities was assigned to the Company
effective September 1, 1995. On July 29, 1996, the Company and ILM Holding
("the Companies") terminated the Agreement with AHC. The Agreement was
terminated for cause pursuant to the terms of the contract. Simultaneously
with the termination of the Agreement, the Companies, together with certain
affiliated entities, filed suit against AHC in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for breach of contract, breach
of fiduciary duty and fraud. The Company and ILM Holding allege that AHC
willfully performed actions specifically in violation of the Agreement and
that such actions caused damages to the Companies. Due to the termination
of the Agreement for cause, no termination fee was paid to AHC. Subsequent
to the termination of the Agreement, AHC filed for protection under Chapter
11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in its domestic state of California. The
filing was challenged by the Companies, and the Bankruptcy Court dismissed
AHC's case effective October 15, 1996. In November 1996, AHC filed with the
Virginia District Court an Answer in response to the litigation initiated
by the Companies and a counterclaim against ILM Holding. The counterclaim
alleges that the Agreement was wrongfully terminated for cause and requests
damages which include the payment of the termination fee in the amount of
$1,250,000, payment of management fees pursuant to the contract from August
1, 1996 through October 15, 1996, which is the earliest date that the
Agreement could have been terminated without cause, and recovery of
attorney's fees and expenses. The aggregate amount of damages against all
parties as requested in AHC's counterclaim exceeds $2,000,000. ILM I has
guaranteed the payment of the termination fee at issue in these proceedings
to the extent that any termination fee is deemed payable by the court and
in the event that the Company fails to perform pursuant to its contractual
obligations. The court initially set a trial date of April 28, 1997 but, at
AHC's request, rescheduled the trial for June 23, 1997. On June 13, 1997
and July 8, 1997, the court issued orders to enter judgment against ILM I
and ILM II in the amount of $1,000,000 (the "Orders"). In so doing, the
court effectively canceled the June 23, 1997 trial date. The Orders do not
contain any findings of fact or conclusions of law. On July 10, 1997, the
Company, ILM I, ILM II and Lease II filed a notice of appeal to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from the Orders. The Company
intends to diligently prosecute the appeal. Although the eventual outcome
of this litigation cannot presently be determined, a provision of $600,000
for the liability which might result to the Company from the Orders has
been recorded as "termination fee payable" in the accompanying financial
statements. The remaining $400,000 has been recorded on the financial
statements of Lease II.
On February 4, 1997, AHC filed a complaint in the Superior Court of
the State of California against Capital, Lawrence Cohen, and others
alleging that the defendants intentionally interfered with AHC's Agreement
with ILM Holding by inducing ILM Holding to terminate the Agreement (the
"California litigation"). The complaint seeks damages of at least
$2,000,000. On March 4, 1997, the defendants removed the case to federal
district court in the Central District of California. Trial in the action
has been set for January 13, 1998 and discovery has just begun. At a Board
meeting on February 26, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors concluded
that since all of Mr. Cohen's actions relating to the California litigation
were taken either on behalf of the Company under the direction of the Board
or as a PaineWebber employee, the Company or its affiliates should
indemnify Mr. Cohen with respect to any expenses arising from the
California litigation, subject to any insurance recoveries for those
expenses. The Company's Board also concluded that, subject to certain
conditions, the Company or its affiliates should advance up to $20,000 to
pay reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Capital in the
California litigation. Subsequently, the Boards of the Company and Lease II
voted to increase the maximum amount of the advance to Capital to $100,000.
By the end of November 1997, Capital had incurred $100,000 of legal
expenses in the California litigation. The defendants
F-12
<PAGE>
intend to vigorously defend the claims made against them in the California
litigation. The eventual outcome of this litigation cannot presently be
determined and, accordingly, no provision for any liability has been
recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
7. Federal Income Taxes
The Company is taxable as a regular C corporation and, therefore, its
income is subject to tax at the federal and state levels. The Company
reports on a calendar year for tax purposes. Income taxes at the
appropriate statutory rates have been provided for in the accompanying
financial statements.
Deferred income tax benefit reflects the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of August 31, 1997 and
1996, are comprised of the following amounts (in thousands):
