ITEM 1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

         Just Like Home, Inc. (the "Company" or "JLH") was founded on the belief
that retirement assisted living should offer the elderly a chance to live out a
long and happy extension of a normal, interesting life with minimal assistance.
Although many elderly and frail people need the more extensive level of care
provided by nursing homes, many do not. The Company offers assisted living
facilities and services to those elderly and frail individuals who do not need
the level of care offered by nursing homes. This assistance is provided in a
small scale residential setting that allows the resident to maintain dignity and
a degree of independence at a reasonable cost.

         The facilities owned or leased by the Company range in size from
approximately 7,000 square feet designed for occupancy by up to 16 residents, to
approximately 21,000 square feet, designed for occupancy by up to 45 residents.
Based upon its experience in developing and managing assisted living facilities,
the Company has developed two prototype facilities. One facility is 21,000
square feet designed as a 42-unit (45 bed), and the other a two building,
52-unit comprised of 29,000 square feet.

         Each center provides housing and services to the elderly who desire to
maintain independence within a system of medically and socially integrated
programs in a home-like environment. The objective of JLH is to offer a
pro-active life program and trained staff to deliver a level of care that
nurtures the health, dignity, privacy and spirit of each resident.

         The Company's markets are the physically frail and cognitively impaired
elderly, age 75 years and older. The physically frail are those elderly who are
mentally capable, but are frail and require assistance with basic daily
activities. The cognitively impaired are elderly who are physically capable, but
suffer from various forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease.

         The typical resident of an assisted living center is age 75 years or
older, female and widowed or single according to the Assisted Living Facilities
Association of America. Most residents (approximately 75%-90%) come from within
a 5-10 mile radius of a given facility. Each elderly person typically has a
supporting adult child who is instrumental in the decision making process.

         The primary marketing programs used by JLH include community public
relations, advertising, tours, developing positive referral relationships with
hospitals and nursing homes, a newsletter and a direct mail program. The primary
referral targets are doctors, lawyers, bank trust officers, accountants, social
workers, nurses, clergy, ministers, elderly organizations and guardians.

THE JUST LIKE HOME CONCEPT

         JLH offers its assisted living services to the physically frail or
cognitively impaired in "home like" settings. Each Just Like Home is designed to
meet the elderly residents' needs for comfort, security, quality of life and a
degree of independence.

         The Company strives to combine in its facilities the best aspects of
independent living with the protection and safety of assisted living, with
trained staff members who provide 24-hour care and monitoring of every resident.
Each Just Like Home, as the name implies, is a home in a neighborhood with a
yard, a porch and a kitchen. The assisted living facilities are designed and
decorated to have a home-like atmosphere. Residents are encouraged to furnish
their rooms with personal items they have collected during their lifetime.
Monthly rates currently range from approximately $1,250 for double occupancy up
to $1,850 for a single room.

         Just Like Home assisted living facilities compete with
individually-owned and large retirement community facilities. JLH offers
personalized care services in a small scale residential setting that allows the
resident to maintain independence and dignity at a reasonable cost through
professional management of multiple, single purpose facilities. By developing
multiple locations within the same geographic area, JLH believes it is able to
provide centralized professional management not found in individually owned and
operated facilities.

         In the opinion of the Company, the smaller residence is the primary
advantage Just Like Home facilities have over larger facilities. The smaller
Just Like Home residential setting allows for more individualized care giving.
The Company believes that nowhere is this more important than with the
cognitively impaired. People with mild and moderate states of Alzheimer and
related cognitive diseases can be cared for in an assisted living facility at
approximately half the cost of comparable nursing home care.

         Home managers are responsible for the overall daily operations of each
Just Like Home facility. The manager is assisted by various levels of trained
personnel, some of whom may be independent providers or part-time personnel,
including nurses, personal service assistants, maintenance and kitchen
personnel. The Company consults with outside providers, such as pharmacists and
dietitians, for purposes of medication review, menu planning and responding to
any special dietary needs of its residents. Personal care, dietary services,
housekeeping and laundry services are performed primarily by on-site care givers
who are full-time employees of the Company.

         There are staff personnel on duty at each Just Like Home facility
24-hours a day who provide the necessary home-making and resident care services.
Weekend and relief staff rotate among the homes. An activity director oversees
the exercise and activity program as well as arranging transportation of
residents to physicians' offices and weekly outings.

<PAGE>   5

         The typical profile of the facility staff is a person who has care
giving and housekeeping skills. They are encouraged (but not required) to take
the Certified Nursing Assistant training program. All are required, however, to
have training in assisting residents with medication, hygiene, first aid, and
CPR which includes classes in aging, psychology of care giving to the elderly,
and practical management skills.

         The duties of the staff include all housekeeping, laundry, meal
preparation, assistance in activities of daily living, games, walks, exercise
programs, interaction with visitors and families, daily record documentation and
delivery of medication. Each resident is carefully monitored as to their
individual abilities and if required he or she is not permitted to venture off
the property without a signed release from a guardian, adult child or the
supervision of one of the Just Like Home staff members. The staff is also
available to manage medications, prescribed by a resident's doctor. Daily
activities such as bingo, walks and exercise programs are provided for all
residents and are overseen by the staff and the activities director.

JUST LIKE FAMILY

         The Company also provides a senior service related business that
augments the Company's basic business. These services include related
non-medical, in-house assisted living support to individuals wishing to remain
in their own homes. The Company provides aides to assist with bathing, dressing,
general housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation in the client's own home and
transportation for medical appointments.

THE ASSISTED LIVING INDUSTRY

         The long-term elderly care industry encompasses a wide variety of
accommodations and health care services. For those requiring limited services,
home-based care in the elderly person's home or in a retirement center offers a
viable option for assistance on an "as needed" basis. Services provided by
congregate and retirement communities are often limited to meals, housekeeping
and laundry. As an elderly person's needs for assistance increase, care in an
assisted living residence, where assistance with personal care (such as dressing
and bathing), support services (such as housekeeping and laundry) and routine
nursing services (such as assistance with taking medications and health
monitoring) are available, is often preferable to home-based care. For those
elderly in need of specialized support, rehabilitative, nutritional, respiratory
and other skilled treatments, medical care in a nursing facility may be
required. Generally, assisted living center residents require higher care levels
than those of residents of congregate and retirement living communities, but
lower than that of patients in skilled nursing facilities.

         Assisted living facilities, such as those operated by the Company,
differ from skilled nursing facilities in that assisted living facilities do not
provide the more extensive, and costly, nursing and medical care found in
nursing homes. Assisted living facilities differ from continuing care retirement
communities in that, among other things,


<PAGE>   6

residents of assisted living facilities are not obligated to purchase frequently
expensive lifetime contracts for residential living and care.

         The number of persons over the age of 65 has been increasing faster
than the overall population, largely as a result of advances in medical
technology which has increased life expectancy. The percentage of total
population over the age of 65 in the United States has grown from approximately
8.1% in 1950, to approximately 12.0% in 1985. The 1990 Census indicates that
this has further increased to 12.6% or 31.2 million individuals. Current
estimates indicate that by the year 2010, 39.4 million people in the United
States will be age 65 or older.

         The 85 years and older segment is the fastest growing segment of the
entire population. In 1990, the 85 and older age group was estimated at 3.5
million, or 1.4% of the population, and such segment is expected to double by
the year 2010. Based on these statistics, the Company believes that, as the
number of older individuals continues to increase, the number of people who
require assistance with the activities of daily living will increase.

COMPETITION

         The long-term care industry is highly competitive and the Company
expects that the assisted living business in particular will become more
competitive in the future. The Company competes with numerous other companies
providing similar long-term care alternatives such as home health agencies, life
care at home, community-based service programs, retirement communities and
convalescent facilities. Nursing facilities that provide long-term care services
are also a potential source of competition for the Company.

         Providers of assisted living communities compete for residents
primarily on the basis of quality of care, price, reputation, physical
appearance of the facilities, services offered, family preferences, physician
referrals, and locations. Some of the Company's competitors are significantly
larger than the Company and have, or may obtain, greater financial resources
than those currently available to the Company.

FUNDING FOR ASSISTED LIVING CARE

         The Company's revenue from residents is all private pay. Accordingly,
the Company competes with other comparably and higher priced facilities for
elderly residents who have the financial resources to pay the room and other
charges of an assisted living facility. As discussed below, government funding
for assisted living services is limited and that which is available is at rates
substantially less than the Company's current room charges.

         The Company believes that current government programs that pay the
costs of nursing home care, but not the cost of assisted living services (with
some exceptions, as described below), have been an incentive for individuals who
cannot afford the costs of 


<PAGE>   7

assisted living services to enter nursing homes in order to receive assisted
living services. Although government funding for assisted living facilities may
increase in an effort to shift elderly care from more expensive nursing homes to
less expensive assisted living facilities, the Company does not anticipate that
any increase will materially affect the Company's payor mix or its operations.



GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         The Company's assisted living facilities are subject to various
regulations and licensing requirements by the State of Florida. Florida does
not, however, impose any financial requirements for assisted living facilities.
In order to qualify as a state licensed facility, assisted living facilities
must comply with regulations that address, among other things, staffing,
physical design, required services and resident characteristics. The facilities
are also subject to various local building codes and other ordinances, including
fire safety codes. To the extent that the Company opens Just Like Home
facilities in states other than Florida, applicable regulations of those states
will apply. These requirements vary from state to state and are monitored, to
varying degrees, by state agencies.

         The Company believes that its facilities are in substantial compliance
with all applicable regulatory requirements. In the ordinary course of business,
however, a facility could be cited for a deficiency. No actions are currently
pending at any of the Company's facilities.

         If the Company receives revenues under the Medicaid Waiver Program, it
would be subject to Medicaid fraud and abuse laws, which prohibit any bribe,
kickback, or remuneration of any kind in return for the referral of Medicaid
patients or to induce the purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging of any
goods or services to be paid for by Medicaid. Violations of these laws may
result in civil and criminal penalties and exclusions from participation in the
Medicaid program. The Inspector General of the Federal Department of Health and
Human Services has issued "safe harbor" regulations specifying certain business
practices which are exempt from the sanctions under the fraud and abuse law. The
State of Florida has laws that prohibit certain direct or indirect payments or
fee-splitting arrangements between healthcare providers if such arrangements are
designed to induce or encourage the referral of patients to a particular
provider. The current management of the Company is not aware of any Company
agreements or arrangements that are subject to the Medicaid fraud and abuse
laws.

EMPLOYEES

         The Company currently employs 140 persons, 15 of whom work at its
corporate office. The Company has entered into an agreement with a contract
human resource service for the leasing of most of its employees. The service
company is responsible for all payroll functions and for the payment of taxes
and wages for the leased employees.


<PAGE>   8

The Company pays the service a monthly lease fee equal to the Company's total
gross payroll plus a fixed fee based on the number of employees. None of the
Company's employees are represented by a labor union.

         A significant risk for the Company is its ability to attract and retain
qualified employees, particularly at the Company's facilities. The Company has
historically experienced a high level of turnover among its hourly employees.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         In 1994, the Company sold three of its facilities and a site for a
fourth facility to National Foundation on Gerontology, Inc., a Florida nonprofit
corporation ("National Foundation").  Concurrently with the sale of the
properties, the Company entered into a management agreement with National
Foundation whereby the Company was retained to operate the facilities for a
management fee. In December, 1994, National Foundation completed construction of
a fourth facility which was then managed by the Company under the management
agreement with the National Foundation.

         In 1996, the Company wrote off $338,000 in receivable from National
Foundation for uncollectable advances made by the Company for the managed
facilities and unpaid management fees owed by National Foundation, as more fully
discussed under "Item 12, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." The
Company continued to manage the National Foundation facilities in 1997 in an
effort to improve occupancy and cash flow at those facilities. The Company wrote
off $47,000 of management fees and $75,000 of a loan advanced in 1997.

         In February, 1998, National Foundation and the Company entered into an
agreement to terminate the management agreement effective April 1, 1998. The
Company and National Foundation also gave mutual releases of all potential
claims one may have against the other arising from or related to the
indebtedness of National Foundation to the Company or the management of the
facilities by the Company. National Foundation also agreed to be responsible for
all operating expenses of the facilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business prior to the termination of the management agreement and all expenses
(whether or not in the ordinary course) arising after the termination of the
management agreement. National Foundation has agreed not to use the "Just Like
Home" name in connection with the facilities after the termination of the
management agreement.

ITEM 2.         DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

         The Company presently owns 2 assisted living facilities and leases 4
assisted living facilities, which facilities are generally described in a table
set forth under "Item 6, Management's Discussion and Analysis." The Company also
owns the following real property:

Bradenton, Florida    Corporate Office Building         21,000 sq. ft. $ 1,033,000
                      (prior corporate headquarters)
Springfield, Ohio     Vacant Building and Land          3.5 acres      $   240,000
Tampa, Florida        Vacant Land                       1.5 acres      $   252,000
Sarasota, Florida     Vacant Land                       9.5 acres      $   814,000
</TABLE>

         The Company's former corporate headquarters is located in an upscale
office park. The space was much too large for the Company's current requirements
and Management has determined that it will try to sell the building and has
relocated to smaller quarters. Currently, the office is being leased to several
tenants, one of which has an option to purchase the property for $1,100,000.
This option expires July 1, 1998.

         The Company intends to sell the Springfield, Ohio, Tampa, Florida, and
Sarasota, Florida properties, as soon as appropriate offers are accepted (within
one year), and these properties are now reflected on the balance sheet of the
Company as "Property Held for Sale." These properties were purchased for future
development of assisted living facilities, but are not suitable for development
of facilities that are consistent with the Company's current plans to focus on
smaller assisted living facilities in more rural communities.

         The Springfield, Ohio property consists of a 9,000 square foot former
county owned building and 9,000 square foot barn. It was purchased in 1995 for
$225,000 with the intention of expanding the building and converting it to
assisted living. The Company had spent an additional $165,000 on engineering and
architects which has been expensed. It is currently listed for sale at $285,000.
There are no similar properties currently for sale in the area, however,
management believes the selling price reflects a reasonable current value of the
property.

         The Tampa, Florida property was purchased in October 1995 for $145,000
and the Company spent an additional $107,000 on zoning, engineering, and site
development. The vacant parcel was going to be developed as an Alzheimer's
facility. It is currently listed for sale at $275,000. Management is unaware of
a similar property with similar zoning currently for sale.

         The Sarasota, Florida was purchased in January 1996 for $850,000 and
the Company spent an additional $515,000 on zoning, engineering, architects, and
other costs preparing the property for development as a campus type assisted
living center. The 


<PAGE>   10

Company wrote off $551,000 as the market was not as significant as originally
expected. The property is currently listed for $875,000 which is a similar price
to a like-adjacent property.

         None of these properties have been appraised within the last two years.
Substantially all of the Company's real property is subject to mortgages
securing various indebtedness of the Company.

         There presently is no litigation pending, or to the knowledge of
management, threatened against the Company.

ITEM 6.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         This discussion and analysis contains both historical and
forward-looking information. The forward-looking statements may be significantly
affected by risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be
no assurance that anticipated future results will be achieved. Readers are
cautioned that a number of factors, which are described in this report and
below, could adversely affect the Company's ability to obtain these


<PAGE>   12

results, including the Company's ability to obtain equity financing for the
anticipated operating losses associated with the development of new facilities,
the continued availability of long-term financing (under the REIT financing
facility described below or elsewhere) for the development of new facilities,
the Company's ability to sell certain assets held for sale on acceptable terms,
the ability of the Company to operate its facilities efficiently, the ability to
fill-up current and new facilities and the ability to attract qualified
personnel.

OVERVIEW

         The Company has completed discussions with the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") regarding various technical
accounting issues relating to (1) the treatment of the merger of Community
Assisted Living Centers, Inc. ("Community") into a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company on April 10, 1997, and (2) the accounting treatment of the Company's
lease transactions with the REIT described below. As a result of those
discussions, the Company has recently filed amended quarterly reports on Form
10-QSB/A for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997. These
amended reports included restated financial statements for the Company for the
quarters then ended, which changes included accounting for the merger with
Community as a purchase transaction and not under the pooling method of
accounting. The Company's historic accounting for its lease transactions with
the REIT was unchanged. All of the changes were non-cash reporting changes and
did not affect the liquidity of the Company. The financial statements included
in this Form 10-KSB include all adjustments reflected in the amended quarterly
reports.

         The Company's revenues historically consisted primarily of (i) rental
of residences in assisted living facilities, (ii) management fees for the
provision of such services to facilities owned by other entities, (iii)
companion care fees, and (iv) consulting fees. Effective April 1, 1998, the
Company has terminated an unprofitable, long-term management arrangement, and in
1997 the Company sold the operations of its consulting subsidiary. Resident
rental rates are reviewed annually and adjustments, if any, are based on changes
in the Company's operating costs or as market conditions dictate. The level of
service provided to each resident is also reviewed on a continuous basis to
determine whether individual needs have changed, which require an adjustment of
services and, therefore, rates. The Company's expenses for facilities include
(i) residence operating expenses, such as staff payroll, food, utilities,
insurance, property taxes, and other direct residence operating expenses, (ii)
depreciation and amortization for owned facilities, (iii) interest expense, and
(iv) for leased facilities, rental expense. General and administrative expenses
consisting of marketing, legal, accounting and other administrative expenses are
incurred for Company owned and leased facilities.

         The following table sets forth the number of facilities owned or
managed and the total beds and occupancy as of the end of each of the periods
presented and the average occupancy percentages for each of such periods.

(1)  The Company terminated its management agreement for all three facilities
     effective April 1, 1998, because of continued losses associated with the
     management of those facilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         The Company incurred a net loss for 1997 of $2,227,000, compared to a
net loss for 1996 of $2,978,000 (or an improvement of 25%). The Company had an
increase in revenues for 1997 to $2,613,000, compared to $1,954,000 in 1996 (or
an increase of 33.7%). The increase in revenue is primarily due to a full year
result in 1997 for two facilities that were acquired in March, 1996, and for two
other facilities that were developed and opened during 1996.

         The Company's operating expenses in 1997 were $4,629,000, down $75,000
(or 1.6%) from 1996. Expenses in 1997 included a bad debt expense from managed
properties of $122,000 and loss from impairment of property held for sale of
$227,000 and $70,000 towards a litigation settlement, while expenses in 1996
included $338,000 in bad debt expenses from managed properties, $818,000 loss
from impairment of property held for sale, and $409,000 associated with the
settlement of litigation.

         Resident fees revenues increased by $528,000 in 1997 due to the full
year of operations of two facilities acquired in March, 1996, and two facilities
opened in July and December, 1996. The companion care services revenues
increased in 1997 to $384,000, an increase of $316,000 over 1996 revenues. The
companion care operations were marginally profitable in the Manatee County area
but start-up operations in other locations (abandoned in late 1997) increased
1997 expenses to $471,000, an increase of $307,000 over 1996. Consulting
revenues of $336,000 in 1997 were lower than the 1996 revenues of $518,000 due
to the sale of the division effective July 1, 1997.

         Management fees were $47,000 in 1997 compared to $100,000 in 1996 due
to the decreased occupancy of the managed facilities in the first part of 1997
and the reduction in the management fee from 9% to 5% in 1997. All management
fees were considered uncollectible in both 1997 and 1996. Effective April 1,
1998, the management contract was cancelled.

         The Company also wrote down property held for sale an additional
$227,000 in 1997. This write-down was based upon current market conditions
relating to property 


<PAGE>   14

held in Sarasota County that has remained unsold. The current carrying value
reflects an amount at which adjacent and similar property is being marketed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The primary cash needs of the Company relate to start-up costs
associated with opening new facilities and projected operating losses for those
facilities until they reach a stabilized occupancy and corporate office expense
until all facilities are generating sufficient cash flow to cover those
expenses. The rate at which the Company develops new facilities will depend
directly upon the availability of financing for those developments (including
start-up and fill-up costs).

         The losses incurred by the Company during the 1996 and 1997 have been
funded primarily through (i) the Company's initial public offering in July 1995
from which the Company realized approximately $4,123,000, (ii) approximately
$565,000 in cash and cash equivalents received by the Company from the merger of
Community Assisted Living Centers, Inc. ("Community") into a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company in April, 1997, (iii) approximately $1,510,000 in
proceeds of a private placement of common stock of the Company in April, 1997,
and (iv) approximately $750,000 in cash generated from the sale and leaseback
financing of four facilities of the Company under the REIT financing facility
described below. The proceeds of the public offering were substantially expended
by December 31, 1996, and the cash resources from the Community merger and the
1997 private placement offering covered the operating deficit in 1997.

         The Company entered into an agreement on April 30, 1997, with
HealthCare REIT, Inc., a real estate investment trust (the "REIT"), for up to
$41,800,000 in sale-leaseback financings for assisted living facilities. The
initial financing was completed on July 18, 1997, and involved the
sale-leaseback of four assisted living facilities owned by the Company for an
aggregate sale price of $2,700,000. By transferring ownership of the Company's
assisted living facilities to the REIT, the Company freed up capital in the
facilities that was used to fund new facilities. Each phase of the REIT
financing is subject to numerous conditions, including satisfaction of certain
financial coverage tests by the Company. The initial REIT financing provided the
Company with approximately $1,000,000 ($750,000 from REIT proceeds and $250,000
of certificate of deposit held as collateral by mortgage lender) in additional
working capital after the payment of certain long-term and short-term
indebtedness related to the four facilities sold to the REIT. This initial phase
of the REIT financing project replaced approximately $2,709,000 of fixed assets
and $1,888,000 of debt with $750,000 of working capital.

         The remaining $39,100,000 of REIT funding will be used, subject to
continuing satisfaction of the various financial and other covenants in the
agreement, to fund the development costs of up to 20 assisted living facilities
in the eastern United States over a three-year period. The financing commitment
expires on May 1, 2000. Currently, three projects in construction are being
funded by the REIT.


<PAGE>   15

         Although the financing for construction of up to 20 additional
facilities is available to the Company under the REIT financing described above
(subject to continued compliance by the Company with the requirements of that
financing facility), the Company is required to fund all start-up costs
associated with each new facility. The Company estimates that it will need
approximately $250,000 in cash resources other than the REIT financing for each
new facility developed by the Company.

         As of April 30, 1998, the Company had negative working capital.
Operating losses are expected to continue to occur for the foreseeable future.
The primary cash needs of the Company relate to start-up costs associated with
opening new facilities, projected operating losses for those facilities until
they reach a stabilized occupancy and certain corporate office expense until all
facilities are generating sufficient cash flow to cover those expenses.

         The Company is pursuing a significant equity financing for the Company
with the representative of several institutional investors. The current
discussions involve the issuance of a new class of convertible preferred stock
of the Company, although the final form of the financing, if completed at all,
cannot be predicted at this time. If the Company is unable to complete the
preferred stock financing, the Company presently anticipates that it will
undertake a private placement of its Common Stock to a limited number of
sophisticated investors, including current directors and officers of the
Company. On April 29, 1998, the Company received commitments from certain
shareholders to purchase an aggregate of $1,000,000 in common stock and the
Company will exercise this option if the preferred stock offering is not
finalized.

         If the Company is able to complete the preferred stock offering, the
Company will have cash to fund the anticipated continuing operating losses of
the Company and the additional projected start-up losses for each new facility
developed by the Company for the remainder of 1998 and all of calendar year
1999. The rate at which these capital resources are used by the Company will
depend primarily at the rate at which the Company completes development of new
facilities. The following schedule sets forth certain information relating to
development efforts underway at the Company as of April 30, 1998:

                  REIT, the closing on which is subject to receipt of all
                  applicable pre-construction zoning, licensing and construction
                  permits, and for which the Company is actively pursuing
                  applicable zoning and licensing requirements.

         (4)      Project sites in process are those sites that have been
                  identified by the Company as suitable for an assisted living
                  facility and for which the Company is actively in process of
                  securing a real estate purchase contract for the site.

         President, Construction, of the Company.

(2)      All of the shares of Common Stock held by Mr. Robenalt and Ms. Conard
         are subject to a Shareholders Agreement, which requires them to vote
         their shares in accordance with that agreement, as further described
         below. As a result of that agreement, each of Mr. Robenalt and Ms.
         Conard is the beneficial owner of the shares held by the other. Mr.
         Robenalt has sole dispositive power over 102,500 shares, including
         those listed in note 1. Ms. Conard has dispositive power over 2,475,000

(6)      Excludes 75,000 shares held by Mr. Haddow's spouse, as to which shares

         Mr. Robenalt and Ms. Conard are parties to a Shareholders Agreement
dated February 13, 1997, among the Company, Mr. Robenalt and Ms. Conard (the
"Shareholders Agreement"). The Shareholders Agreement became effective on April
10, 1997, as a result of the effectiveness of the Merger of Community Assisted
Living Centers into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger
Agreement whereby Community merged into a subsidiary of the Company provided
that upon the effective date of the Merger, a majority of the members of the
Board of Directors of the Company would be selected by Mr. Robenalt. The Merger
Agreement further provided


<PAGE>   21

that substantially all the executive officers of Community prior to the Merger
would become the executive officers of the Company at the effective time of the
Merger. On April 10, 1997, the effective date of the Merger, Mr. Robenalt became
the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company, and the other executive officers of Community assumed their positions
as executive officers of the Company.

         Under the Shareholders Agreement, Ms. Conard and Mr. Robenalt agree to
vote the shares of the Company's Common Stock held by each to elect to the Board
of Directors of the Company a majority of individuals selected by Mr. Robenalt.
Mr. Robenalt has designated four of the seven members of the Board of Directors
of the Company (Mr. Robenalt, Ronald O. Braun, Alastair Haddow and Norbert P.
Donelly).

         The Shareholders Agreement also provides that Ms. Conard and Mr.
Robenalt will vote their shares on any other matter submitted to a vote of the
shareholders of the Company as they mutually agree. If they are unable to reach
a mutually satisfactory agreement on the manner in which the shares will be
voted (other than for the election of directors), the full Board of Directors of
the Company will mediate the disagreement, and if that mediation is not
successful, an independent arbitrator will resolve the disagreement.

         The Shareholders Agreement will expire on April 10, 2002. If Mr.
Robenalt dies or becomes disabled so as not to be able to perform his duties as
chief executive officer of the Company during the term of the Shareholders
Agreement, Ronald O. Braun, the Chairman of the Board of Community prior to the
Merger and the Co-Chairman of the Board of the Company after the Merger, will
have the right to substitute all shares owned by him for the shares of Mr.
Robenalt covered by the Shareholders Agreement, and Mr. Braun will assume the
responsibilities of Mr. Robenalt for the remaining term of the Shareholders
Agreement.

         As a result of these provisions in the Merger Agreement and the
Shareholders Agreement, Mr. Robenalt effectively acquired control of the Company
as of April 10, 1997, the effective date of the merger of Community into a
subsidiary of the Company.


ITEM 12.        CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         Until February 1996, Dr. Conard was President and director of the
National Foundation of Gerontology, Inc., a Florida nonprofit corporation. In
March 1994, the Company sold to the National Foundation for $1,520,000 three of
its facilities and property on which an additional facility was subsequently
constructed. The National Foundation was originally known as the Southmark
Foundation on Gerontology, Inc. In 1989, Southmark Corporation, a company
unaffiliated with Dr. Conard and the primary source of funding for the National
Foundation, filed a bankruptcy proceeding and was unable to continue financial
support of the National Foundation. Prior to the acquisition from the Company of
the facilities and property referred to above, the sole source of


<PAGE>   22

revenue for the National Foundation was from the collection of royalties from
the sale of "What Should We Do About Mom?," a book written by Dr. Conard.

         Of the $1,520,000 purchase price paid to the Company for the facilities
and property, the Company received $1,020,000 in cash and a promissory note in
the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the "National Foundation Note"). The
National Foundation Note provides for 10 equal annual payments of principal
($50,000) plus accrued interest, with such payments to commence on March 3,
1995, and the entire principal balance plus interest being due and payable on
March 3, 2004. Payments on the National Foundation Note are subordinated to the
debt service on certain taxable bonds previously sold by the National Foundation
in the aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 ("Taxable Bonds"). Although the
National Foundation Note is secured by a second mortgage on the properties sold
to National Foundation, no enforcement action of any kind or foreclosure under
that mortgage on the properties sold to National Foundation is permitted until
all amounts due on the Taxable Bonds have been paid in full. To date, the
Company has received no payments under the National Foundation Note, and no
payments are anticipated in the near future. Of the Company's total gain on the
sale of the properties ($564,791), $64,791 was recognized by the Company on the
date of the sale. The remaining $500,000 of the gain on the sale of the
properties has not been recorded on the Company's financial statements and that
receivable from the Foundation was cancelled in connection with the termination
of the management agreement between the Company and the Foundation.

         In connection with the National Foundation's renovation of three of the
acquired facilities and construction of the fourth facility, the Company, during
1994, advanced $420,000 to the National Foundation, of which approximately
$16,000 remains outstanding. In January 1995, the Company advanced an additional
$287,606 to the National Foundation in connection with the construction of the
fourth facility, which amount currently remains outstanding. This obligation is
evidenced by a promissory note (the "1995 Foundation Note") bearing interest at
the rate of 10% per annum with equal principal and interest payments of $7,500
per month (commencing on August 1, 1995, and ending on June 1, 1999) and a final
payment of approximately $6,400 due on July 1, 1999. Payments on the 1995
Foundation Note are also subordinated to the debt service on the Taxable Bonds.
The National Foundation made only two payments on the 1995 Foundation Note in
1995 and no payments in 1996. At December 31, 1997, approximately $109,000 in
unpaid management fees were due to the Company. The Company has the right to
declare the National Foundation to be in default and to accelerate the payment
of the National Foundation Note and the 1995 Foundation Note (collectively, the
"Foundation Notes"). However, no enforcement action by the Company of any kind
with respect to the Foundation Notes or foreclosure under the mortgage is
permitted until the amounts due on the Taxable Bonds have been paid in full. In
1996, the Company wrote off $338,000 in receivable from National Foundation for
uncollectible advances made by the Company for the managed facilities and unpaid
management fees owed by National Foundation. The Company continued to manage the
National Foundation facilities in 1997 in an effort to improve occupancy and
cash flow at 


<PAGE>   23

those facilities. The Company wrote off $47,000 of management fees and $75,000
of a loan advance for a total expense of $122,000 in 1997.

         In February, 1998, National Foundation and the Company entered into an
agreement to terminate the management agreement effective April 1, 1998. The
Company and National Foundation also gave mutual releases of all potential
claims one may have against the other arising from or related to the
indebtedness of National Foundation to the Company or the management of the
facilities by the Company. National Foundation also agreed to be responsible for
all operating expenses of the facilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business prior to the termination of the management agreement and all expenses
(whether or not in the ordinary course) arising after the termination of the
management agreement. National Foundation has agreed not to use the "Just Like
Home" name in connection with the facilities after the termination of the
management agreement. The Company cancelled all indebtedness of the Foundation
to the Company in connection with the termination of the management agreement.

         A company whose common stock is 50% owned by Dr. and Mrs. Conard shares
office space with the Company. In 1997, that company incurred certain expenses
that are to be reimbursed to the Company totaling $11,000.

         From time to time since 1987, Elizabeth A. Conard has made loans to the
Company to support its operations. The Company has repaid only a portion of
those loans. At December 31, 1997, the total amount of the loans, including
interest, was $406,000. The loans bear interest at 10% per annum, payable
monthly and the principal is payable in installments beginning in September
1998.

         Dr. Conard has been a director of L.W. Blake Memorial Fund, Inc.
("Blake"), a Florida non-profit corporation, since its formation in 1975. In
April 1994, Blake acquired a 28-bed hospital located in Incline Village, Nevada.
The hospital did not operate as anticipated and in 1995, Blake filed a voluntary
petition for bankruptcy and was later liquidated under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


The Board of Directors
Just Like Home, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Just Like Home,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the two-year period then ended. 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 consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of Just Like Home,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for the two-year period then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

JUST LIKE HOME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS:

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the combined
         historical results of operations for Just Like Home, Inc. and
         Subsidiaries (the Company), and includes the accounts of JLH Series I,
         Inc., which operates four leased, assisted living facilities in
         Bradenton, Florida; JLH Management Corporation, which manages
         properties for the related National Foundation on Gerontology, Inc.
         (see Note 5); JLH Franchising Corporation, which sells franchises for
         Just Like Home, Inc.; Project Market Decisions, Inc., which was a
         consulting practice that was sold in 1997; Just Like Home IV, Inc. and
         JLH Realty, Inc., which are inactive; Just Like Family, Inc., which
         operates a companion care service to residents in Manatee County,
         Florida; Just Like Home Corporate Center, Inc., which operates an
         office building in Bradenton, Florida; Charis Place, Inc., which owns
         and operates two assisted living facilities in Leesburg, Florida; and
         Edgewood Double Drive, Inc., which owns a vacant lot in Sarasota,
         Florida.

         The Company is principally engaged in the business of developing,
         operating and managing assisted-living facilities located in Florida.
         Additionally, the Company provided demographic analysis and related
         consulting services to the assisted-living residential industry in the
         eastern United States (see Note 17). The Company also provides
         companion services to senior citizens in Florida who, although
         generally mobile, need help with the activities of daily living, or are
         in need of companionship.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of
         the accompanying consolidated financial statement follows:

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements
         include Just Like Home, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. All
         significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in
         the consolidation.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid
         investments with an original maturity of three months or less when
         purchased to be cash equivalents.

         ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Accounts receivable relate primarily to amounts
         due from residents in the various assisted living facilities.

         OTHER RECEIVABLES - Other receivables relate to amounts due from a real
         estate investment trust in connection with the development of certain
         assisted living facilities which, upon completion, the Company will
         lease from the trust. Such amounts are payable to the Company upon
         completion of each facility.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED: 
         REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company charges fees to residents of its
         assisted-living facilities pursuant to short-term operating lease
         agreements. Resident fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the
         term of the related leases. Management and consulting fees are
         recognized as services are provided. Companion fees are recognized when
         all services have been substantially performed.

         DEPRECIATION - Depreciation expense is provided for property and
         equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of
         the various classes of depreciable assets which, in general, range as
         follows:

<TABLE>
                  <S>                                          <C>
                  Buildings and improvements                   20 - 40 years
                  Furniture, fixtures and equipment             5 - 7 years
</TABLE>

         LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain
         identifiable intangibles for impairment on a periodic basis and
         whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
         amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company records a
         provision when it has been determined that assets are impaired.

         PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE - The Company holds certain parcels of land as
         property held for sale. The Company values the property held for sale
         at the cost to acquire such property less any provisions relating to
         impairments on each parcel of land.

         GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS - The Company amortizes costs in
         excess of fair value of net assets of businesses acquired using the
         straight-line method over ten years. Organization costs are amortized
         over five years using the straight-line method. Costs incurred in
         connection with the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized over
         the term of the related debt using the straight-line method, which
         approximates the effective interest method.

         CAPITALIZATION OF INTEREST - Interest incurred during construction or
         major renovations is capitalized.

         INCOME TAXES - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of
         transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements.
         Deferred taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future
         liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end
         based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to periods
         in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
         Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred
         tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is
         the tax currently payable for the period and the change during the
         period in deferred tax assets and liabilities at the statutory tax
         rates.

         ESTIMATES - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of consolidated assets and liabilities and disclosure of
         contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated
         financial statements and the reported amounts of consolidated revenues
         and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

         RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts in the 1996 consolidated financial
         statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year
         presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total
         assets, accumulated deficit, net loss, or cash flows.

3.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

         EARNINGS PER SHARE - In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
         issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 128,
         "Earnings Per Share," which is effective for fiscal years ending after
         December 15, 1997. FAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and
         presenting earnings per share. The provisions of this pronouncement
         have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial
         statements. This standard has been adopted on a retroactive basis.

         REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - FAS NO. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
         Income," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
         15, 1997, establishes a new standard that requires that comprehensive
         income, which includes net income as well as certain changes in assets
         and liabilities recorded in common equity, be reported in the financial
         statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a
         significant impact on its reporting practices.

         SEGMENT REPORTING - FAS NO. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
         Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for fiscal
         years beginning after December 15, 1997, establishes standards for
         reporting information about operating segments in annual financial
         statements and interim financial reports issued to shareholders.
         Generally, certain financial information is required to be reported on
         the basis that is used internally for evaluating performance of and
         allocation of resources to operating segments. The Company has not yet
         determined to what extent the standard will impact its current practice
         of reporting operating segment information.

4.       RESTRICTED CASH AND CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT:

         Cash and certificates of deposit were restricted for the following as
         of December 31, 1997:

5.       TRANSACTIONS WITH THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON GERONTOLOGY, INC.:

         In 1994, the Company sold three operating residential facilities and
         certain vacant land to National Foundation on Gerontology, Inc.
         (Foundation), a not-for-profit corporation. The Co-Chairman of the
         Board of Directors of the Company served as President of the Foundation
         and his son served as Foundation President and Director during 1997.
         The Company received a $500,000 second mortgage note with interest of
         10.5% from the Foundation in connection with this sale. Principal and
         interest on the note are payable solely from available cash from the
         Foundation's operations after payment of debt service on the primary
         mortgage.

         The Company is recognizing profit on the sale under the cost recovery
         method, whereby profit is recognized to the extent cash received
         exceeds the cost of the property sold. For financial reporting
         purposes, the $500,000 subordinated note receivable is presented net of
         the related deferred gross profit. No payments were received on this
         note in 1997 or 1996 and, therefore, no gross profit was recognized.
         Deferred gross profit in the amount of $500,000 has not been
         recognized.

         In January 1995, the Company advanced $287,606 to the Foundation in
         connection with the construction of a residential facility. In April
         1995, the Company received a promissory note in the amount of $292,498
         from the Foundation evidencing the indebtedness. The note was payable
         on demand with interest at 10%. In June 1995, the note was restructured
         to require monthly principal and interest payments of $7,500 commencing
         on August 1, 1995 through July 1, 1999. Payments under the note began
         in October 1995. In June 1996, the note was again restructured when the
         Company received a promissory note in the amount of $252,015 from the
         Foundation. The note, plus accrued interest at 10%, was due July 1,
         1997. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the
         Company charged management fees of approximately $47,000 and $115,000,
         respectively, which had not been paid (see Note 15). An allowance has
         been recorded of approximately $414,000 related to these receivables.

6.       COMMUNITY ASSISTED LIVING CENTERS, INC. MERGER:

         Effective April 10, 1997, the Company merged with Community Assisted
         Living Centers, Inc. (CALCI). Each CALCI share of common stock was
         converted into one and one-half shares of common stock of the Company.
         The Company issued 1,646,250 shares of common stock having an aggregate
         value of $1,646,250. The merger was accounted for using the purchase
         method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated
         to the fair market value of assets acquired. The goodwill resulting
         from the merger, of $867,305, is being amortized over a five-year
         period.

13.      STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK AWARDS:

         STOCK OPTIONS

         EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN - In March 1995, the Company adopted a Stock
         Option Plan (the "Plan") under which 200,000 shares of common stock are
         reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options. Options may be
         granted to all eligible employees of the Company, including officers
         and non-employee directors and others who perform services for the
         Company. Options are granted under the Plan on such terms and at such
         prices as determined by the Board of Directors, except that the per
         share exercise price of incentive stock options cannot be less than the
         fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Each
         option is exercisable after the period or periods specified in the
         option agreement, but no option may be exercisable after the expiration
         of ten years from the date of grant.

         Additionally, under the plan, each non-employee member of the Board of
         Directors receives an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock
         upon being elected to the Board (the "Initial Options") and options to
         purchase 2,000 additional shares of common stock annually (the "Annual
         Options"). The exercise price is the fair market value at the date of
         the grant, and the options expire within five years from the date of
         the grant. The options vest at the rate of 25% at the end of each of
         the first four years. The options received annually will be five-year
         options, exercisable in full at the end of the first year.

         SUMMARY OF STOCK OPTIONS - The following table summarizes the stock
         options outstanding under the plans described above:

         DISCLOSURE OF STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company has adopted the
         disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
         Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the stock
         option plans. The Company believes that the options granted in 1996 had
         no value and therefore there would have been no effect on reported
         consolidated net losses.

         WARRANTS - In 1995, warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common
         stock at $7.20 per share were issued. The warrants are exercisable for
         a period of five years, beginning in 1996. No shares have been
         purchased with these warrants as of December 31, 1997.

14.      STOCK TRANSACTIONS:

         In connection with a sale of common stock which preceded the initial
         public offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 286,000 shares
         of common stock at $6 per share. The warrants expired on December 31,
         1997.

         On March 27, 1997, the Company issued a private placement memorandum
         offering up to 2,500,000 shares of its common stock for $1.00 per
         share. The private placement closed on April 10, 1997 and the Company
         received $1,510,000 associated with this private placement.

15.      RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

         MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT - In March, 1994, the Company entered into a
         management and marketing agreement with the Foundation whereby the
         Company is paid an annual fee equal to the lesser of: (i) $153,960 plus
         9% of the net cash remaining after payment of the Foundation's
         operating and other expenses, or (ii) 9% of the gross revenues derived
         from the managed facilities. Management and marketing fee expense,
         representing 9% of the gross revenues of the managed facilities, was
         $37,188 and $100,430 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
         respectively. The management fee is subordinated to any debt service
         payments related to its facilities (see Note 4).

         EXPENSE ALLOCATION - The Company allocates certain administrative
         expenses to Stancon Management Corporation (Stancon), a company
         50%-owned by the Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
         Such expenses amounted to $11,090 and $86,851 for the years ended
         December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


16.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

         In 1996, a corporation, which is a 5.5% holder of the Company's common
         stock, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Twelfth Judicial
         Circuit of Florida. The plaintiff corporation alleged that the 214,882
         common shares received in December 1994 should have been freely
         tradable and not subject to Rule 144 restrictions. In 1997, the Company
         entered into a settlement agreement in which the Company agreed to
         purchase a parcel of land for $70,000, and to repurchase the above
         common shares at $4 per share in 1999, at the shareholder's option.
         Additionally, the Company issued an option to the stockholder to
         purchase 50,000 additional shares of common stock at an option price of
         $2 per share. The Company would be required to repurchase these shares
         at $4 per share as described above. The Company charged the present
         value of the obligation to expense in 1996. The common stock related to
         this transaction has been recorded to common stock and options subject
         to put options on the consolidated balance sheet.

         Effective July 18, 1997, the Company sold four assisted living
         facilities to Health Care REIT, Inc., a real estate investment trust,
         for approximately $2.7 million, and subsequently leased back those same
         facilities. The term of the non-cancelable lease term is 10 years, with
         a 10-year renewal option, and calls for lease payments that vary in
         accordance with the lease agreement. The lease agreement requires
         certain covenants to be maintained for each facility on a quarterly
         basis. The most restrictive of these covenants include a coverage
         ratio, net worth amounts, a current ratio and a debt-to-equity ratio.
         At December 31, 1997, the Company did not meet the current ratio
         requirement, however, a debt waiver letter was obtained from Health
         Care REIT, Inc. Lease expense recognized in the consolidated statements
         of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 is $124,014.

         Total remaining lease amounts required to be paid total $2,963,700. The
         following represents the minimum lease payments required under
         non-cancelable operating leases for the five years subsequent to
         December 31, 1997:

         On December 16, 1997, the Company entered into a three year lease
         agreement to lease certain office space to an unrelated company. The
         lease requires payments of $2,746 per month until January 1, 1999 when
         the payments will be adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index. The
         lease also gives the lessee an option to purchase the building, in
         which the office is located, for $1.1 million. The option to purchase
         the building expires June 30, 1998.

17.      SALE OF PROJECT MARKET DECISIONS, INC.: Effective July 1, 1997, the
         Company sold all of the assets of Project Market Decisions, Inc. d/b/a
         PMD, Inc. (PMD) for $175,000, which included $125,000 in cash and a
         subordinated promissory note of $50,000. The Company recognized a gain
         on the sale of PMD of $75,772 which has been included in the
         consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
         1997. The subordinated promissory note calls for interest to accrue at
         8% per annum on the unpaid principal balance and for principal payments
         of $6,250 commencing October 1, 1997 to July 1, 1999.

18.      IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE 
         DISPOSED OF:

         In accordance with FAS No. 121, long-lived assets to be disposed of
         must be reported in the consolidated balance sheet at the lower of
         their carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. The Company
         holds certain property for sale, which it expects to dispose of during
         1998. During 1997 and 1996, a loss on impairment of this property was
         recorded in the amount of approximately $227,000 and $818,500,
         respectively.

20.      LIQUIDITY:

         The Company has entered into a preliminary agreement with an
         underwriter to sell up to $10 million of preferred stock. Based on
         discussions with the underwriter, the Company anticipates the sale
         could be completed in the second quarter 1998. However, there can be no
         assurance that such sale will occur, and if it does occur, what amount
         will be raised. Certain shareholders of the Company have entered into
         subscription agreements to purchase $1,000,000 of common stock. Such
         agreements are callable at the Company's option.
