Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
---------------------------------------------

On October 3, 2001,  Registrant  concluded  and closed a  transaction  with LSOF
Pooled Equity,  L.P. to settle and resolve litigation over the amount and nature
of LSOF's ownership of Registrant. The dispute had centered around the number of
shares of  Registrant's  common  stock and  extent of  control to which LSOF was
entitled upon  conversion  of its Series F and G Preferred  Stock and the amount
then due under a "Make Whole Agreement."  LSOF's position would have resulted in
a change of voting control of Registrant to LSOF, which  Registrant  resisted in
the litigation between the parties.

Under  the  terms  of the  settlement,  Registrant  repurchased  all  of  LSOF's
ownership  interests  in  Registrant,  which  amounted  to  1,054,202  shares of
Registrants  common  stock,  and  LSOF  released  all  claims  in  exchange  for
$4,000,000 in cash and the  conveyance of 11 assisted  living  properties out of
the 24 owned and operated by Registrant, subject to any indebtedness thereon. In
addition  Registrant released LSOF from all claims. On August 3, 2001 Registrant
sold an assisted living property in California.  The cash proceeds from the sale
were used to provide the cash portion of the settlement with LSOF.

With the litigation concluded,  Registrant will devote its efforts to rebuilding
its  business  by  exploring  attractive  acquisitions  in the  assisted  living
industry and in the general real estate market.  Registrant existed from 1981 to
1989 as a real estate  investment  trust.  After a change in management in 1989,
Registrant  changed its primary focus to supplying  products and services to the
elderly,  although it continued  its business of  investing in  commercial  real
estate.  Beginning in 1994,  Registrant  began  liquidating  its commercial real
estate and devoting its efforts to the assisted  living  sector of the eldercare
industry.  Between  1995 and 1997,  Registrant  opened  several  residences  and
acquired four assisted living companies.  Registrant's assisted living business,
similar to the rest of the  industry,  has  incurred  ongoing  financial  losses
resulting from vacancies,  high turnover,  regulatory  impediments and a general
state of  over-building.  Registrant  believes the  long-term  prospects for the
assisted  living  industry  are  fundamentally  sound and will  continue to seek
attractive  acquisition  candidates.  However,  Registrant  will  also  seek  to
diversify its business by returning to its previously  profitable  operations in
general real estate development and investments.
