d.   payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial 
     arrangements comparable thereto; and
e.   the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold 
     unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted 
     by anyone associated with the sale.

Fee Simple Interest is defined by the Appraisal Institute as being, "a 
fee without limitations to any particular class of heirs or restrictions 
but subject to the limitations of eminent domain, escheat, police power 
and taxation.  An inheritable estate".

Going Concern Value is "the value created by a proven property operation." 
It includes the incremental value associated with the business concern, 
which is distinct from the value of the real estate only.  Going concern 
value includes an intangible enhancement of the value of an operating 
business enterprise which is produced by the assemblage of the land, building,
labor, equipment, and marketing operation.  This process creates an
economically viable business that is expected to continue.  Going concern
value refers to the total value of a property, including both real property
and intangible personal property attributed to business value.  Special
purpose properties such as the subject are appropriate for only one use or
for a very limited number of uses.  The highest and best use of a special
purpose property as improved, is probably the continuation of its current use,
if that use remains viable.  Therefore, in the case of special purpose
properties a going concern value is considered appropriate.

In this instance the subject property has an excellent location within 
a viable market.  As long as quality management is maintained, it's Market 
Value would be the same as it's Going Concern Value.

Included is our appraisal report which contains the various exhibits 
and data utilized in arriving at the herein contained estimate of Market 
Value for the subject property.

It is our opinion that the property herein identified as the proposed 
21 Unit Assisted Care Facility, Resident Manager's Apartment and 4 Efficiency
Assisted Care Units all located on the west side of Louisiana Highway 
33 just outside the corporate limits of Farmerville, Union Parish, Louisiana, 
was estimated to have a Market Value based on Stabilized Net Operating 
Income, as of October 20, 1998, of:

                       DEFINITION OF SIGNIFICANT TERMS

Market Value, as defined by the Department of the Treasury, Office of 
the Comptroller of the Currency, August 24, 1990, is, "The most probable 
price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under 
all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting 
prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue 
stimulus.  Implicit in this definition, is the consummation of a sale 
as of a specified data and the passing of title from seller to buyer under 
conditions whereby:

a.     buyer and seller are typically motivated;

b.     both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in 
       what he considers his own best interest-

c.     a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

d.     payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of
       financial arrangements comparable thereto; and

e.     the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold 
       unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions
       granted by anyone associated with the sale.

Fee Simple Interest is defined by the Appraisal Institute as being, "a 
fee without limitations to any particular class of heirs or restrictions 
but subject to the limitations of eminent domain, escheat, police power 
and taxation.  An inheritable estate".

Going Concern Value is "the value created by a proven property operation." 
It includes the incremental value associated with the business concern, 
which is

                                                   Robert M. McSherry, MAI


distinct from the value of the real estate only.  Going concern value 
includes an intangible enhancement of the value of an operating business 
enterprise which is produced by the assemblage of the land, building, 
labor, equipment, and marketing operation.  This process creates an
economically viable business that is expected to continue.  Going concern
value refers to the total value of a property, including both real property
and intangible personal property attributed to business value.  Special
purpose properties such as the subject are appropriate for only one use or
for a very limited number of uses.  The highest and best use of a special
purpose property as improved, is probably the continuation of its current
use, if that use remains viable.  Therefore, in the case of special purpose
properties a going concern value is considered appropriate.

                 [Area Location Map Indicating Subject Property]



                    OVERVIEW OF ASSISTED LIVING INDUSTRY

In anticipation that more elderly Americans will live in assisted living 
homes than nursing homes in the near future, consumer industry groups 
are saying it is time to put some minimum standards into law.  One of 
the most important things for the industry is to try not to admit residents 
it cannot provide quality care for.  Many assisted living homes charge 
additional fees for personal services residents may come to need as they 
grow older.  Some will help residents if they get sick by permitting periodic
visits from nurses, for example, or providing supervision for people with 
Alzheimer's Disease.

In order to minimize residents need to move, the consumer or trade groups
say assisted living facilities should be required to offer at least some 
help with the dozen daily activities including meals, using the bathroom, 
taking medication and shopping.  Those facilities which accept people 
with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia would also be required to 
provide 24 hour awake staff and special training for those workers.

Assisted living has become the hottest new housing option for older people
by promising to provide a happy medium between their homes and a full 
nursing home facility.  Industry estimates show that the number of elderly 
Americans living in settings that could be described as assisted living 
has probably doubled from 560,000 in 1990 to as many as 1,000,000 in 1997. 
By early next century, experts predict assisted living homes will care 
for more elderly Americans than nursing homes.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI



Although numbers are inexact, assisted living facilities ranging from
luxury apartment buildings to modest group homes provide housing along 
with personal services and some health care.  Residents may be too frail 
to live alone but too healthy to need the 24 hour medical attention of 
nursing homes.  Assisted living can be less expensive than nursing homes. 
A 1997 survey by the National Center for Assisted Living found that 52% 
costs $1,001.00 to $2,000.00 per month and 24% cost less than $1,000.00 
per month.  In contrast, monthly nursing home fees average above $3,000.00.

Assisted living's affordability has attracted the attention of law makers
worried about how the nation will ensure elderly care for the huge baby 
boom generation now middle aged.

Medicaid programs for the poor in 28 states have begun to cover some
assisted living services and the Department of Health and Human Services 
is conducting a fact finding survey.

Unlike nursing homes, assisted living homes are not regulated by the
Federal Government.  Fewer than half of the states require licensing before
it opens.  That allows for flexibility and partly explains assisted living's 
popularity.

In summary, the assisted living facilities currently expanding throughout
the United States are the most popular and desirable alternative living 
situation for those elderly which require some minimal level of care but 
not the extensive

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


level required by nursing home patients.  As the population continues 
to grow older but maintain better health, the appeal thus desirability 
of assisted living facilities will continue to be enhanced.

                           SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL

The appraiser has personally inspected the subject site and conducted 
an in-depth inspection of the neighborhood in which the subject property 
is located observing it's trends of development and characteristics.

Vacant land sales utilized in conjunction with the Cost Approach to Value
and in determining the estimated Market Value of the subject site, as 
if vacant, and owned in Fee Simple have been inspected by this appraiser 
and a combination of data provided by the Marshall Valuation Service Cost 
Manual and other available in-file data has been utilized in the process 
of estimating the replacement cost new of the subject improvements.

In the final analysis, the appraiser has utilized and relied upon the
experience of judgment based on the opinion of the quality and quantity 
of the data in arriving at the final value estimate of the Fee Simple 
Interest in the subject property.

The Income Approach to Value has been completed utilizing a stabilized
net income capitalized into value and a discounted cash flow method.  
Economic rents were determined by rent comparables and current data utilized 
with respect to expense projections.  Information provided by the publication 
"Trends in the Health Care Industry" as well as information provided by 
other actual ongoing facilities similar to the subject have been utilized 
in the process of estimating the projected expenses which were included 
in the Income Approach to Value.  Although the subject property is proposed 
at the present time and has

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


no income or expense history, it is considered to be a functional facility 
and a facility which is demand with respect to providing long term assisted 
living care.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


                         DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY
                                  Site Data
Size, Shape and Topography
The subject site will be a 4.0 acre rectangular shaped parcel of land
having no direct frontage along the right-of-way of LA Highway 33 with 
access to be provided by a minimum 50 foot wide right-of-way which will 
be dedicated into perpetuity which will provide an access road for the 
subject property.

The subject property is located just west of LA Highway 33 which is a
dual-lane, asphalt, State maintained traffic artery serving local and 
Parish wide vehicular traffic.  The topography is rolling and will require 
site preparation prior to construction.  The 4.0 acre tract which is the 
subject is considered to be the "heart" of the property and will feature 
a level topography with an excellent view amenity including that of a 
large man made lake to the southeast and the surrounding wooded topography 
when site preparations are complete.

Utilities
The subject property is located just outside the corporate limits of 
Farmerville, Union Parish, Louisiana but will be provided with all city 
utilities and services available to properties within the corporate limits 
of Farmerville including electrical service, police and fire protection, 
public water, sewerage disposal, and refuge disposal.  Telephone service 
and natural gas service is provided by the local utility companies servicing 
the area and all services and utilities are considered adequate to provide 
the requirements of the subject property.


                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


Access
Access to the subject development will be provided as the result of an 
access road leading from the west right-of-way of LA Highway 33 to the 
4.0 acre subject site.  The access road will exit LA Highway 33, a dual-lane,
asphalt, State maintained traffic artery which services both local and 
Parish wide vehicular traffic and provides direct access to the downtown 
areas of Farmerville as well as to the outlying areas of Farmerville and 
Union Parish.  There exists several other State maintained highways including
LA Highway 2 which traverse the area and provide adequate access to the 
subject site from all areas of both Farmerville and Union Parish.

Zoning
Conversations with representatives on the Farmerville City Hall indicated 
that no current zoning is applicable to areas in the unincorporated areas 
of Farmerville, Louisiana.  Land uses are controlled by deed restrictions 
or other restrictive covenants which run with the land and, although this 
appraiser has not conducted an in-depth review of the abstract to the 
subject site, no deed restrictions or other restrictive covenants are 
assumed to exist which would affect the utilization of the subject site 
as a site of an assisted living facility.

This appraiser has not conducted an in-depth review with respect to the
abstract to the subject site but no deed restrictions or other restrictive 
covenants are assumed to exist which would affect the development of the 
subject property to its highest and best use.  However, this should be 
ascertained by competent legal authority and is a condition of this appraisal
report.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


Drainage
Review of Flood Hazard Maps found in the Union Parish Community Office 
indicated the subject property to be located in a Flood Zone "X" according 
to Flood Map No. 220359-007-A having an effective date of September 13, 
1997.  This indicates no flood insurance is required for the subject property.

Tax Data
The subject property is proposed construction property and the taxes 
on the vacant land only are minimal.  The subject property will be placed 
on the Union Parish tax rolls the year after it is completed and at that 
time will be assessed and the tax liability can be assigned.  For the 
purposes of this appraisal report and for the utilization in the Income 
Approach, taxes have been projected but are subject to change once the 
property is completed and placed on the tax rolls.

The 1997 millage rates applicable to the subject property are as follows:

          Forestry   .08 Mills
          Parish   45.04 Mills
          Total    45.12 Mills

Assisted living facilities such as the subject are assessed at 10% of 
Market Value and conversations with representatives of the Union Parish 
Tax Assessor's Office indicate an estimated Market Value for tax purposes 
will be approximately 30% less than actual Market Value.  Thus:

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


          Estimated Value of Subject                 $2,030,000.00
          Estimated Assessed Value                   $1,470,000.00
          10% - Assessed Value                       $  147,000.00
                                                   
$147,000.00 X 45.12 Mills = Estimated Tax Liability  $    6,632.64

                       DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
                          Assisted Living Facility

The proposed facility containing the assisted living units will be constructed
within a single T-shaped building but a building comprised of different 
component sections housing the assisted living units in two wings with 
the public areas located in the center or core of the building.  The building 
is a modified T-shape and encompasses a total of 22,217 square feet of 
heated area.  The assisted living units contained within this facility 
will contain approximately 485 square feet of living area and feature 
a bedroom, living room, kitchenette and full bath with shower while the 
efficiency units will contain approximately 200 square feet of area.  
The gross building area was calculated by Mr. Mike Wallace, the preparer 
of the plans and specifications for the property.

                             HIGHEST AND BEST USE

                                 Introduction

The Appraisal Institute defined highest and best use as follows, "that 
legal use, at the time of the appraisal, which is the most profitable 
likely use to which a property can be put."

There are several basic factors which must be considered in order to
make a proper determination of Highest and Best Use:

1.   The use must be legal, that is, legally adaptable regarding zoning
     and other restrictions;

2.   The use must be probable, not conjectural or speculative;

3.   The property must be physically adaptable to use contemplated;

4.   There must be a demand for such use;

5.   The use must be profitable, the highest return to the land over the 
     longest period of time.

Highest and best use of the land (or site) if vacant and available for 
use may be different from the highest and best use of the improved property. 
This is true if the improvement is not an appropriate use, but it makes 
a contribution to the total property value in excess of the value of the 
site.

The above five tests have been applied to the subject property's vacant
site.  In arriving at the estimate of highest and best use, the subject 
site has been carefully analyzed.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


                  HIGHEST AND BEST USE ASSUMING A VACANT SITE


Permissible Use
An investigation has been conducted in order to determine the zoning 
classification that encumbers the subject property.  The results of this 
investigation has revealed that the subject site is not affected by City 
or Parish zoning with land uses controlled by deed restrictions or other 
restrictive covenants.  The lack of zoning allows a large number of
permissible uses to be considered for the subject property but it's location
within a primarily residential area, the access provided by a dual-laned
municipal traffic artery and other factors indicate the proposed utilization
as an assisted care facility to be one of the better if not the best
permissible uses of the site and would be a legal, conforming, permissible
use.

Possible Use
Inspection of the subject property's neighborhood has been made to determine 
any physical limitations that might be present.  The result of this inspection
has revealed the neighborhood is developed with mix of property types.
The lack of zoning which is currently applicable to the subject property 
does allow for an assisted care facility to be constructed on the site 
as well as other types of multi-family construction.  This lack of zoning 
classification will allow the property to be developed as proposed within 
this appraisal report and this is considered the most likely probable 
use to which the subject property could be put.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


In the final analysis, the proposed utilization of the subject property 
is considered to constitute one of it's Highest and Best Uses.

                          THE APPRAISAL PROCESS

The real estate appraisal profession typically utilizes three basic approaches
in the process of estimating the value of a parcel of real property.  
These approaches include the Cost Approach, the Income Approach and the 
Market Data Approach.  The Cost Approach utilizes an estimate of reproduction 
or replacement costs new of the building and other on-site improvements 
to be contained within the subject property less accrued depreciation 
from all sources including physical curable and incurable deterioration, 
functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence to arrive at an estimate 
of depreciated reproduction or replacement costs for the improvements. 
The estimated value of the site, as if vacant, and determined by the 
comparison of the subject site with other similar parcels in either the 
immediate proximity of the subject or in other comparable areas is added 
to the depreciated reproduction or replacement cost estimate of the
improvements to provide an indication of value of the property being
appraised from the Cost Approach.

The Cost Approach is generally accorded the greatest credence in instances
where the property being appraised is either a proposed property or a 
new property having little or no accrued depreciation or instances where 
the property being appraised represents a special purpose type property. 
 In these instances, the Cost Approach is an accurate indication of value 
for the property and is accorded considerable credence in the reconciliation 
process.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


The Income Approach to Value utilizes an estimate of gross annual income 
to be generated by the property being appraised as determined to be
representative of economic rentals for this type property within the area
less an allowance considered typical for vacancy and collection losses to
arrive at an estimate of effective gross annual income which is to be
generated by the property.  Expenses typically associated with the operation
of this type property in accordance with prevailing lease terms and
conditions in the area as well as data provided by analysis of the operating
history of other similar type properties are projected and deducted from the
effective gross annual income to arrive at an estimate of net operating
income before recapture attributable to the subject.  This net operating
income is then capitalized by the most appropriate method available with
respect to the subject property in particular and the appraisal problem in
general into an indication of value for the property being appraised from
the Income Approach.  Another method of utilizing the Income Approach is the
Gross Income Multiplier technique.  This technique identifies the relationship
between the sales price (value) of a property and its gross annual income
earning potential.  The Gross Income Multiplier is derived by dividing the
sales price of a property by its gross potential income and, thus, is an
excellent indicator of buyer, seller and investor attitudes toward the
property being analyzed.  An effective gross income multiplier is also
excellent as it utilizes the actual gross income after vacancy to derive the
multiplier. use depends upon available data.

The Market Data or Direct Sales Comparison Approach utilize sales of 
comparable improved properties in either the immediate proximity of the 
subject
                                                     Robert M. McSherry.  MAI


or in other comparable areas to derive a unit of comparison.  Each of 
the various comparable sales are carefully reviewed and analyzed by the 
appraiser, adjusted for any dissimilarities between the subject property 
and the comparable sale in such areas as date of sale, location, design, 
condition, and other physical characteristics to result in an adjusted 
unit of comparison to be utilized in the Market Data or Direct Sales
Comparison Approach to provide an indication of value for the property being
appraised.

The reconciliation is the method whereby all data provided by the various
approaches utilized in the appraisal report are carefully analyzed and 
accorded weight in varying degrees.  The approach which is considered 
to be the most representative of current buyer, seller and investor attitudes 
towards the subject property is accorded the greatest credence in the 
final analysis but all the approaches are interrelated and all data gathered 
and utilized in the various approaches must be carefully analyzed in the 
reconciliation process and to ignore any available data would be improper.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


                             COST APPROACH TO VALUE

The Cost Approach to Value, like the Sales Comparison and Income Approaches, 
is based on comparison. in the Cost Approach, the cost to construct a 
building and the value of any existing building are compared.  The Cost 
Approach to Value reflects market thinking in the recognition that market 
participants relate value to cost.  Buyers tend to judge the value of 
an existing structure by comparing it to the value of a newly constructed 
building with optimal functional utility.  Moreover, buyers adjust the 
prices they are willing to buy by estimating the cost to bring an existing 
structure to desired levels of functional utility.

Thus, by applying the Cost Approach, an appraiser attempts to estimate
the difference in worth to a buyer between the property being appraised 
and a newly constructed building with optimal utility.  An appraiser makes 
a sound value estimate by estimating the cost to construct a reproduction 
of or a replacement of the existing structure and then deducts all evidence 
of accrued depreciation in the property being appraised from the cost 
of the reproduction or replacement structure and the resulting figure, 
plus the value of the land, plus any entrepreneurial profit provides a 
value indication through the application of the Cost Approach.

The decision to utilize reproduction or replacement costs is most pertinent
and the selection plays and important part in contributing to the validity 
of the Cost Approach.  Replacement cost is defined in Real Estate Appraisal 
Terminology as

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


being, "the cost of construction at current prices of a building having 
utility equivalent to the building being appraised but built with modern 
materials and according to the current standards, design and layout.  
The use of the replacement cost concept presumably eliminates all functional 
obsolescence and the only depreciation to be measured is physical
deterioration and economic obsolescence." The appraisers will utilize the
replacement cost method supported by Marshall Valuation Service in conjunction
with the construction cost estimate provided by knowledgeable
contractors/engineers or architects.

                              DEPRECIATION

All types of accrued depreciation affecting the subject improvements 
were considered.  Accrued depreciation is defined as, "the difference 
between reproduction cost new as of the date of the appraisal and the 
present contributory value of the improvements." Accrued depreciation 
is divided into three basic categories: physical deterioration (which
includes curable and incurable), functional obsolescence (including curable
and incurable), and economic obsolescence (which is always incurable) The
following is a discussion of each type of depreciation and the observed
depreciation applicable to the subject property.

Physical Deterioration, Curable
This type of depreciation is defined as, "the loss in value from cost 
new which can be recovered or offset through correction, repair, or
replacement of the defective items causing the loss, providing the resultant
value approximates the

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


cost of the work." The property is proposed thus no deferred maintenance 
is present.


Physical Deterioration, Incurable
This type of depreciation is defined as, "the loss from cost new which 
is impossible to offset or which would involve an expenditure substantially 
in excess of the value increase resulting therefrom." The property is 
proposed and has an effective are of 0 years and a total economic life 
of 30 years.

Functional Obsolescence
Functional obsolescence is defined as, "the loss from cost new as of 
the date of the appraisal which is caused by a superadequacy, inadequacy, 
unattractive style, poor or inefficient layout or design." Items causing 
functional obsolescence can be either curable or incurable; it is curable 
only when it is profitable to cure the item.  Incurable, functional
obsolescence involves items of initiate which would not be economical to
correct because the value would not increase so much as the cost of
correction.  Based on my inspection of the subject improvements, it is my
opinion that they are totally adequate and comparable to similar properties
in the same general price range, therefore, no loss of value from functional
obsolescence exists.

Economic Obsolescence
This type of depreciation is defined as, "the loss from cost new as of 
the date of the appraisal due to causes external to the property boundaries." 
To measure

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


this type of obsolescence the appraiser capitalizes the rent lost due 
to the external factor for the prorata share applicable to the building. 
As indicated in the site date, there are no undesirable external influences 
and, thus, there is no loss to the subject improvements due to economic 
obsolescence.


Entrepreneurial Profit
For the Cost Approach to provide a sound indication of value, a market 
derived entrepreneurial profit must be added to the direct and indirect 
costs.  The profit figure is typically expressed as a percentage of total 
direct and indirect costs.  Entrepreneurial profit is a necessary element 
in the motivation to construct the improvements.  However, part or all 
of the profit may be lost as functional or external obsolescence if the 
market indicates that the improvements have a Market Value less than the 
current reproduction or replacement cost less physical deterioration.

The results of the investigation and analysis of this market data will
appear as follows:

                      ANALYSIS OF COMPARABLE LAND SALES

The four vacant comparable land sales contained within this appraisal 
report and utilized for analysis purposes are sales of sites located either 
in the immediate proximity of the subject or other comparable areas of 
Farmerville, Louisiana.  All sites are considered current with respect 
to date of sale as all sales have been sold within the calendar year of 
1998 thus requiring no adjustment for the time differential.  The size 
of the sales are similar with respect to the subject property with the 
exception of Sale 2 which is somewhat larger but analysis of paired sales 
did not indicate any adjustment required for this somewhat minimal size 
differential.  However, the location of all sales is considered inferior 
to that of the subject property requiring an upward adjustment for this 
locational dissimilarity between the subject property and the comparable 
sale and this sale has been adjusted accordingly.

Physical characteristics are also important factors in the desirability
of the vacant developmental site and the physical characteristics associated 
with each of these comparable sales have been analyzed, compared to the 
subject property and the proper adjustments made.

The following land sales adjustment grid has been utilized to reflect
the appraiser's opinion of the required adjustment of these comparable 
sales which results in an indicated value of the subject site, as if vacant, 
and in it's current condition.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


After this adjustment grid has been carefully completed, it is our opinion 
that the subject site is estimated to have a Market Value, As If Vacant 
and prior to site preparation, of $5,000.00 per acre.

Therefore, the Estimated Value of the Subject Site, As If Vacant, is 
thus derived:


       4.0 Acres @ $5,000.OO/Acre                   = $20,000.00


INDICATED VALUE OF THE SUBJECT SITE,
AS IF VACANT (R/T)                                    $20,000.00

                          DISCUSSION OF COST APPROACH

In the construction of any project, the total cost of development can 
be divided into basic categories: direct or hard cost, and indirect or 
soft costs.  As defined in Real Estate Appraisal Terminology, the definition 
of Direct Costs is, "the cost of direct labor and materials devoted
specifically to a unit of work.  In construction, these costs are directly
related to site acquisition and construction of the improvements..." Defined
in this same text, Indirect Cost is, "that cost in the development of a
property which would not be included in a general contract for construction
or for land acquisition..."

Direct costs include the cost of items such as land acquisition, construction 
of the buildings, equipment and fixtures, the builder's profit and overhead, 
any temporary buildings for on-the-job usage, power line installation, 
and the electrical power used in the construction.  As indicated in the 
Cost Approach Schedule which follows, direct or hard costs have been broken 
down into categories of building area, elevators and other primary building 
costs.

Indirect, or soft costs, generally include fees, financing costs, and 
overhead.  As the Cost Approach Schedule indicates, the indirect costs fall 
into 8 categories.  The permits and fees sections include the estimated 
costs of a building permit, an appraisal, a survey and accounting and 
inspection charges.  Architectural engineering estimates have been based 
on typical market charges.  The legal expenses includes work done on both 
interim and permanent loan packages.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


The insurance costs indicated are limited to construction-period coverage 
including the builder's risk.

The closing cost estimate includes costs of closing both the interim
and permanent loans.  The interest expense is based on typical current 
market conditions and covers the period of time required to complete the 
construction of the project.  The loan commitment fees are also based 
on current typical market conditions.

The appraiser's have relied upon the Marshall Valuation Service, a publication
of Marshall & Swift, 1617 Beverly Boulevard, Post Office Box 26307, Los 
Angeles, California, in estimating the replacement costs new of the subject 
property improvements.

The Cost Approach to Value, as it applies to the property being appraised,
is as follows:

                          MARKET DATA APPROACH TO VALUE
Market data is discussed in all the approaches to value.  Data analysis 
is needed in the Cost Approach to develop a land value indication and 
to support costs and depreciation indicators; in the Income Approach 
to establish rent levels, vacancy indications, expenses, and capitalization 
rates; and in the Direct Sales Comparison Approach to establish comparability.

The appraiser has carefully perused the Louisiana market with respect
to sales of properties considered similar to the subject property and 
none were found.  However, available data from other appraisers has revealed 
the sale of three similar type properties in other areas of the United 
States and these are included merely for analysis purposes as follows:

The three Improved Property Sales included within this report have been 
provided this appraiser by knowledgeable sources and other appraisers 
and are deemed accurate as they were verified by knowledgeable and ethical 
persons.  The appraiser has conducted an in-depth review of conveyances 
of similar type assisted living or congregate care facilities in the State 
of Louisiana and none were found which were considered to be reflective 
of true arms-length transactions between willing buyers and willing sellers 
with no undue duress being experienced.  These three Improved Property 
Sales have been included for the purpose of deriving an indicated Overall 
Capitalization Rate, an indicated price per unit and an indicated Gross 
Income Multiplier for utilization in the analysis process with respect 
primarily to the Income Approach to Value.  The level of services provided 
by these facilities are similar to, those to be provided by the subject 
property which would include three (3) meals per day, utilities, maid 
service one (1) day a week, flat linen service one (1) day a week, various 
assistance with respect to bathing, exercise, and transportation to various 
off-site functions as well as on-site recreational functions, counseling, 
with other services provided on a more extensive basis for additional 
expense paid by the

guest or resident of the facility.  It is acknowledged that a large number 
of the residents residing in the assisted care facilities are requiring 
increased levels of care and these additional expenses are being passed 
directly to the tenant as they upset the economies of an assisted care 
facility having to provide this extraordinary level of care without additional
remuneration.

The price per unit indicated by Improved Property Sale 2 is considered
the best available and has been accorded the greatest credence.  Accordingly:

                              INCOME APPROACH TO VALUE
 
                                    Introduction

The Income Approach reflects the subject's income-producing capabilities 
and requires an analysis of the project's probable market rent.  In the 
comparative analysis, we have considered factors that would probably influence
market acceptance of properties in the area.  The factors include proximity 
to major traffic arteries; location; design; amenities; and the quality 
of management.

To develop a supportable estimate of value using the Income Capitalization
Approach, realistic projections of income and expenses must be made. congregate
care facilities are unique forms of real estate with many unusual
characteristics, such as an intensive use of labor, costs of goods sold,
expenses categories, and product identity.  Therefore, special care in data
gathering and analysis are required to create an estimate of the future
income for the subject.  The appraiser will utilize data provided by the
publication, Trends in the Health Care Industry for supporting data.
The subject property is proposed at the present time and, therefore, 
has no historical income and expense data associated with the property.
The subject will contain 21 assisted care units and 4 efficiency assisted 
care units all located in a single T-shaped building which will also contain 
a resident manager's apartment and common areas for the operation of the 
facility.  The services provided the assisted living units include all 
utilities, maid service, three

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


meals a day, transportation, activities with additional laundry and maid 
service available at additional expense.  Normal day to day medical treatments
are also available for the various tenants with any extraordinary medical 
expense passed directly to the tenant.

This appraiser has had the opportunity to appraise a number of assisted
care facilities in both Louisiana and Mississippi over the last several 
years and has relied on data provided by these facilities, various industry 
publications and data provided by various health care consulting groups 
and experts in arriving at the estimated monthly rental rates and expenses 
including fixed expenses, operating expenses, staffing, dietary, reserves 
and other appropriate expenses.

This appraiser has conducted rental surveys of a number of assisted care,
private pay facilities located in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area as well 
as a single facility located in West Monroe, Louisiana in order to arrive 
at an estimated economic rental rate for the subject property based on 
the level of services provided.  The assisted care market is still a
relatively new market and the majority of the facilities have been constructed
in larger metropolitan areas such as Baton Rouge.  The rental rates commanded 
in these larger areas are above those which can be commanded in smaller
or more rural communities in North Louisiana and appropriate adjustments 
have been made.  The most comparable property is the Arbor House of West 
Monroe, which was completed in December of 1997 and has experienced stabilized
occupancy with respect to the assisted care units within a six (6) month 
period.  These units lease for $1,725.00 per month for the basic rate 
with expenses including utilities, three (3)

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


meals a day, maid service once a week, laundry service once a week, assistance
in bathing, transportation to shopping, church and other functions as 
well as in-house recreational activities.

This appraiser has also recently completed an appraisal of a 33 unit
assisted care facility located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana which is very 
typical with respect to the subject property.  However, the monthly rate 
provided by this facility is slightly higher than those in rural areas 
with the base monthly rate being $1,850.00 per month.  The same services 
are provided including utilities, three (3) meals per day, assistance 
with daily living activities including bathing, grooming, weekly bed linen 
and towel service, weekly house keeping, transportation to medical and 
dental appointments, worship service, planned activities as well as other 
assistance required.

Based on this appraiser's personal inspection of these two facilities
and adjustment, it is our opinion that a $1,775.00 per month with services 
including electricity, three (3) meals per day, maid service, transportation, 
activities, assistance in the normal living activities as well as normal 
day to day medical treatment being provided.

The actual income and expense data of various facilities is closely held
information and these individuals have requested confidentiality with 
respect to this actual data.  Accordingly, this data has been retained 
in our various files.

The results of our survey and analysis indicates an economic rental rate 
for the assisted care units, based on the herein listed services being 
provided, of $1,775.00 per month and $1,100.00 per month for the efficiency 
units with the rates remaining stable over the two year projection period. 
 The projected rate includes the herein listed services being provided.
Inflation will impact expense projections as well as increased occupancy 
and these anticipated increases have also been utilized in the Income 
Approach to Value.

In order to accurately project appropriate expenses for the subject property,
the appraiser has reviewed the current publication Trends in the Health 
Care Industry with respect to historical operating expenses for assisted 
care facilities.  In addition, this appraiser has been provided itemized 
comparable expense data with respect to three separate properties located 
in the State of Louisiana but, due to confidentiality requirements, the 
names of these properties are retained in the appraiser's file at the 
request of the property owners.  However, the following summary chart 
is included for the benefit of the reader of this appraisal report and 
it also provides support for the expense projections for the subject property.
The Income Approach to Value as it applies to the property being appraised 
based on economic rental rates herein quoted and utilizing a two year 
period in order to achieve a stabilized net occupancy and thus a stabilized 
net operating income is reproduced as follows:

                      JUSTIFICATION OF CAPITALIZATION RATE

Direct Capitalization is a method used to convert a single year's income
estimate into a value indication in the Income Capitalization Approach. 
The direct capitalization formula using an overall property capitalization 
rate is:
            Value / Net Operating Income = Overall Capitalization Rate
In this appraisal, the appraisers will employ two different methods to obtain
an overall capitalization rate;

     1) Band of Investment - mortgage and equity components

     2) Underwriter's Method (derivation from debt coverage ratio)

Band of Investment
The appraisers contacted local lenders regarding rates and terms of alternate
investments as well as current market rates applicable for this market.
Annual Constant - In developing the mortgage components for the Band 
of Investment Method, the appraisers reviewed the National Mortgage Commitment
Survey conducted by the Appraisal Institute Research Department which 
surveyed sample lenders in various geographical regions throughout the 
United States.  The data quoted is based on national averages and do not 
reflect conditions inherent in all markets.  Therefore, the appraisers 
contacted local lenders regarding rates and terms applicable for this 
market area.  Lenders in the local market are quoting rates at prime plus 
1%, terms of 20 years. 75% and a loan-to-value ratio.  The local market 
closely approximates the national averages for the subject property type.

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


The appraisers reviewed available data concerning current national and 
local quoted mortgage rates and talked to various lenders in the Louisiana 
area which confirm that market rates and terms for loans of the quality 
of the subject property are available at 9% interest rate with monthly 
payments amortized for a 20 year term, a 75% loan-to-value ratio.  Therefore,
the mortgage constant is derived to be .1079671.

Equity Dividend - Current rates of return available from alternative 
investment vehicles are reviewed.  These alternative investments are more 
liquid than an investment in real estate; therefore any potential investor 
would expect a higher rate of return.  Based on this, we have been able 
to conclude that a 9% equity dividend rate is required to attract investment 
capital to the subject property's type which is considered to be slightly 
more risky than other types of real estate investments.
In order to ascertain the appropriate equity dividend or "cash-on-cash" 
rate, the appraiser has reviewed money rates for other alternate investments 
as of September 8, 1998.  The results of this analysis of comparable and 
alternative money rates are as follows:

     Certificates of Deposit   30 Day   4.68%
                               90 Day   4.96%
                              180 Day   5.04%

     Treasury Bill Rates      3 Months  4.79%
                              6 Months  4.79%
                             52 Weeks   5.00%

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI



     30 Year Treasury Bond Rate         5.36%
     Merrill-Lynch Ready Assets 30 Day  5.03% (Average Yield)

As can be reflected by the above alternate investment vehicles.  Current 
rates for both short and long term yields is between the high 4.00% to 
the low 5.00% range.  The projected 9.00% equity yield or "cash-on-cash" 
return projected for the subject property provides an excellent return 
on the investor's cash, approximately 3.00% in excess of other alternate 
investment vehicles.  Accordingly, the 9.00% equity dividend rate is
considered appropriate when the overall risk and competitive rates are
considered. Derivation of Capitalization Rate - The band of investment
(or weighted average) formula for deriving an overall rate when the mortgage
constant and equity dividend rates is known as:

                   Mortgage Percent x Mortgage Constant
                                  Plus
                   Equity Percent x Equity Dividend Rate
                                 Equals
                        Overall Capitalization Rate

                        .75 x . 1079671 = .0809
                           .25 x .09 =.0225
                            Total = .10340
                            Rounded to .103

Underwriter's Method
In making loan decisions, institutional lenders use a debt coverage ratio 
(DCR), which is the ratio of net operating income to annual debt service. 
This measure

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


of constraint is frequently used by institutional lenders, who are general 
fiduciaries.  They manage and lend the money of others, including depositors 
and policy holders.  Because of the fiduciary responsibility, institutional 
lenders are particularly sensitive to the safety and profit and are anxious 
to avoid default and possible foreclosure.  Consequently, when they underwrite
income property loans, institutional lenders try to provide a cushion 
so that the borrower will be able to meet the debt service obligations 
on the loan even if the building income declines.

The debt coverage ratio may also be used to estimate the overall
capitalization rate by multiplying the ratio by the mortgage loan constant
(RM) and the loan-to-value ratio (M).  The debt coverage ratio, mortgage loan
constant, and loan-to-value ratio have already been determined to be 1.20,
 .1079671 and .75, respectfully.  The formula for derivation of an overall
capitalization rate from debt coverage ratio is as follows:

                    RO  = DCR x RM x M
                    RO  = 1.20 X. 1079671 X .75
                    RO  = .0971
                    R/T = .097

Review of the three (3) improved property sales contained within this 
report have indicated an Overall Capitalization Rate from a low of 9.96% 
to a high of 11.6%. These indicated Overall Capitalization Rates which 
have been derived from available market data indicates the rate chosen 
for the capitalization of the net

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


income into an indication of value based upon stabilized income of 10.5% 
is reflective of current industry attitudes and is considered appropriate 
with respect to this particular appraisal assignment.


Conclusion
Based on the available information we have concluded that a 10.5% is 
the most appropriate capitalization rate which is derived from the actual 
band of investments method and supported by the Underwriter's Method and 
available market data.  The location of the subject has also been considered. 
Thus:

                       NET OPERATING INCOME   =       VALUE
                       --------------------

                          $202,790.00         =       $2,027,900.00

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

The subject property will require a period in excess of one year to achieve 
stabilized net income.  In order to provide an estimate of the present 
value of the improvements upon completion but prior to achieving stabilized 
net operating income, the discounting process is utilized.
The income stream generated by the subject until stabilized income is 
reached is discounted into an estimate of present value and the reversionary 
value of the improvements as estimated upon achieving a stabilized net 
income is also discounted to present worth.  The market indicates a discount 
rate of 11% to be appropriate to be utilized in discounting the income 
and reversion and this is based on current rates of return on alternate 
investments and the risk associated with the subject.

                          RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE

The three approaches to value have indicated the following value estimates 
of the property being appraised:

          COST APPROACH TO VALUE               $2,110,000.00

          MARKET APPROACH TO VALUE             $2,150,000.00

            OVERALL CAPITALIZATION RATE        $2,075,000.00
            DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW
             ANALYSIS                          $1,955,000.00

The subject property is proposed construction and only preliminary plans 
and specifications have been provided this appraiser in order to complete 
the Cost Approach to Value.  Costs are extremely difficult to estimate 
and no two competent contractors will ever agree on the actual cost to 
construct a property.  However, this appraiser has utilized reliable sources 
including the Marshall Valuation Service Cost Manual as well as actual 
construction costs affecting a similar type property in order to complete 
the Cost Approach to Value and this approach is considered reflective 
of the cost new of the subject property.

The subject property is considered an income producing and has been valued 
based on it being a Going Concern.  The property is under competent ownership 
and will have excellent management in place and the utilization of the 
Going Concern concept is considered appropriate with respect to this particular 
appraisal problem.  Accordingly, the Indicated Value of the Property based 
on stabilized net income being generated at the end of the second year 
is

                                                      Robert M. McSherry, MAI


considered the best available indicator of it's current Market Value
and has been accorded the greatest credence in the final analysis.
Based on the data contained within this report, other in-file data, and 
this appraiser's review and analysis of said data, it is our opinion that 
the proposed property identified as the 21 Unit Assisted Care and 4 Unit 
Efficiency Assisted Care Facility all located on Louisiana Highway 33 
just outside the corporate limits of Farmerville, Union Parish, Louisiana 
was estimated to have a Market Value, as of October 20, 1998, but subject 
to completion according to plans and specifications utilizing quality 
materials and workmanship throughout and also subject to the other conditions 
contained within this report, and based upon Stabilized Net Operating 
Income, of:

                       TWO MILLION THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
                                ($2,030,000.00)

           Goodwill of Going Concern                    -0-

The estimated "as is" value is estimated to be, as of September 20, 1998 
and subject to completion within a reasonable period of time, is:
