ITEM 5.           OTHER EVENTS.

         On February 7, 1999,  Capital  Senior  Living  Corporation,  a Delaware
corporation ("Capital Senior Living"), Capital Senior Living Acquisition, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital
Senior Living  ("Merger  Sub"),  Capital  Senior Living Trust I, a grantor trust
established  and existing  under the laws of Delaware,  all of whose  beneficial
interests are held by Capital Senior Living ("Trust"), and ILM II Senior Living,
Inc., a Virginia  finite-life  corporation ("ILM II"), entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which ILM II will merge
with  and  into  Merger  Sub  (the   "Merger").   The  aggregate  value  of  the
consideration  to be paid in the  Merger  is  $74,110,000.  As a  result  of the
Merger,  each outstanding  share of the common stock of ILM II will be exchanged
for merger  consideration of approximately  $14.30,  consisting of: (a) cash, or
(b) shares of 8% Convertible  Trust Preferred  Stock of the Trust,  which have a
liquidation  value of $25 per share and are  initially  convertible  into 1.5686
shares of Capital  Senior Living common stock,  or (c) a combination of cash and
shares of Convertible Trust Preferred Stock of the Trust, subject to adjustments
which provide that 65% of the aggregate  merger  consideration  shall be paid in
cash and 35% of the aggregate  merger  consideration  shall be paid in shares of
Convertible  Trust Preferred  Stock of the Trust.  No fractional  shares will be
issued in the Merger;  instead,  holders of ILM II common  stock will receive an
amount in cash equal to $12.75  multiplied by the  fractional  share interest to
which such holder would otherwise be entitled.  The Merger is conditioned  upon,
among  other  things,  approval  of the Merger by holders of  two-thirds  of the
outstanding  common stock of ILM II,  approval of an amendment to Capital Senior
Living's   certificate  of   incorporation  by  holders  of  two-thirds  of  the
outstanding  shares of common  stock of Capital  Senior  Living,  and upon other
customary  conditions.  The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1 hereto and
its terms are incorporated herein by reference.

         A copy of the Press Release,  dated February 8, 1999, issued by Capital
Senior  Living  relating  to the Merger is  attached  as Exhibit 2 hereto and is
incorporated herein by reference.
