ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENTS
As of February 12, 1998, ARV Assisted Living, Inc. ("ARV") entered into Purchase
and Sale Agreements with The Hillsdale Group, L.P., a California limited
partnership; 270 Center Associates, Limited Partnership, a California limited
partnership; and TH Group, Inc., a California corporation, to purchase interests
in thirteen (13) senior housing communities located in California, containing
approximately 1,900 units, for approximately $88 million. The closings are
expected to occur in phases beginning April 16, 1998 through July 1998.
As previously reported, on April 16, 1998, the purchases of two assisted living
communities (Golden Creek Inn, a 126-unit community located in Irvine,
California and Hillcrest Inn, a 138-unit community located in Thousand Oaks,
California), a general partnership interest (twenty percent (20%) general
partnership interest in WHW Associates, a California general partnership) and
the rights under four management agreements (management agreements acquired are
for assisted living communities as follows: Sterling Court, a 149-unit community
located in San Mateo, California; Palo Alto Commons, a 105-unit community
located in Palo Alto, California; San Carlos Retirement Center, an 85-unit
community located in San Carlos, California; and The Altenheim, a 161-unit
community located in Oakland, California) were completed.
On May 4, 1998, the Company acquired Rossmore House from 270 Center Associates,
Limited Partnership, an unrelated third party, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale
Agreement dated February 12, 1998, as amended. Rossmore is a 157-unit assisted
living community located in Los Angeles, California.
On May 13, 1998, the Company acquired The Berkshire from 270 Center Associates,
Limited Partnership, an unrelated third party, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale
Agreement dated February 12, 1998, as amended. The Berkshire is an 84-unit
assisted living community located in Berkley, California.
On May 18, 1998, the Company acquired the rights under a sublease agreement and
related documentation for Willow Glen Villa from The Hillsdale Group, L.P., an
unrelated third party, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated February
12, 1998, as amended. Willow Glen is a 202-unit assisted living community
located in San Jose, California.
TERMS OF PURCHASE
The purchase prices of the assets acquired on May 4, 1998 through May 18, 1998
were as follows: Rossmore House - $10.8 million, The Berkshire - $6.9 million
and the rights under a sublease agreement and related documentation for Willow
Glen Villa - $8.0 million.
The Company believes that the purchase prices negotiated with the Seller reflect
the location, occupancy rates and the condition of the communities.
Additionally, the Company believes that the location of the acquired and managed
communities in relation to the Company's existing communities will provide
opportunities to achieve management efficiencies and operational economies of
scale.
The Company is confident that its experience in assisted living communities and
its knowledge of the senior housing market, including the operation of fifty
other assisted living communities, will enable it to achieve operating
efficiencies while maintaining the occupancy rates at full market rent.
Management believes that the acquisition of these communities will allow the
Company to increase its competitive advantages in California, where 30 of the 50
assisted living communities currently operated or managed are located.

SPECIAL RISKS
The success of the communities depends to a large extent on increasing gross
revenues, holding or decreasing costs, and on the abilities of the on-site
management teams which the Company assembles. Additionally, the success of this
acquisition will depend in large part on the Company's ability to integrate the
existing management and staff into the Company's operations. To achieve
increased revenue and stable operating cost goals, policies used by the former
owners may need to be altered. This could result in short term resident
dissatisfaction and/or relocation. Given that the communities are not newly
constructed, unforeseen circumstances could necessitate major renovation or more
refurbishing than originally planned. At this time, management plans major
renovations for Rossmore House and The Berkshire. The Company also intends to
renovate one additional community, which is being purchased from the Hillsdale
Group, L.P. The relatively low vacancy rates enjoyed throughout the primary
market may induce other operators to create new, competitive facilities.
Additionally, due to the planned renovations of existing communities, the
Company will be subject to normal construction risks which include, but are not
limited to, availability of labor and materials, delays in construction and cost
overruns and obtaining permits. Following completion of the renovations, the
Company will be subject to risks associated with lease-up of the Communities.
