ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

     Healthcare Investors of America, Inc. (the "Trust") is a
Maryland corporation formed on February 6, 1987.  The Trust
changed its name from Harbor American Healthcare Trust, Inc.
effective December 18, 1996.  The principal office of the Trust
is located at 2990 North Swan Road, Suite 228, Tucson, Arizona
85712.  The Trust's present advisor is Harbor American Capital
Group, a California limited partnership ("HACG" or the
"Advisor").

     During 1997, the Trust owned the real property, fixtures and
improvements used in connection with the operation of three long
term care facilities located in Florida and Colorado.  These
facilities include:  Bayshore Convalescent Center ("Bayshore" or
the "Florida Property"), a 150-bed skilled and intermediate care
nursing home facility located in North Miami Beach, Florida,
which was acquired in March 1988; Country View Care Center
("Country View"), an 87-bed intermediate care nursing facility
located in Longmont, Colorado, which was acquired in December
1989; and New Life Care Center ("New Life"), a 56-bed
intermediate care nursing home facility located in Greeley,
Colorado, which was acquired in December 1989.  Country View and
New Life are collectively referred to herein as the "Colorado
Properties".

     At December 31, 1997, two of the three properties were
leased under operating agreements.  Bayshore was leased to
Bayshore Healthcare Services, Inc., an Arizona corporation
("BHS"). See Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY - The Florida Lease. 
BHS is an affiliate of the Trust as it is owned by James R.
Sellers, an affiliate of the Advisor.  New Life was leased to
Res-Care, Inc., a Kentucky corporation ("Res-Care"), an
unaffiliated entity.  The terms of the lease with Res-Care
provided for lease payments based on the number of patients
residing at the Colorado Properties as well as those placed
outside of the facilities under the "Community Advantage"
program.  In April 1998, the lease with Res-Care expired and
shortly thereafter New Life became an unoccupied facility. 
Country View was vacated by its lessee on September 30, 1995, and
has remained unoccupied since.

     Trust management worked during 1997 to develop alternative 
uses for Country View and New Life.  Effective July 24, 1998, 
the Trust sold Country View to William E. Harper ("Harper"), 
an individual not affiliated with the Trust or its Advisor, 
for $262,500 in accordance with the terms of Commercial Contracts 
to Buy and Sell Real Estate (the "Country View Sales Contract"), 
dated June 17, 1998, as amended.  At closing on July 24, 1998, 
the Trust received $80,000 in cash and is the payee of two 
promissory notes (the "Harper Notes"), each dated July 24, 1998, 
from Harper in the respective original principal amounts of 
$100,000 and $82,500.  The Harper Notes pay interest only at 
9.5% per annum until maturity on July 24, 2000.  The Harper Notes 
are secured by a Deed of Trust (the "Harper Mortgage"), dated 
July 24, 1998, from Harper for the benefit of the Trust, on the 
Country View property.  Pursuant to the Collateral Assignment 
of Promissory Notes and Deeds of Trust (the "1998 Collateral 
Assignment"), dated as of July 24, 1998, the Trust assigned the 
Harper Notes and the Harper Mortgage to PNC Bank, National 
Association, Louisville, Kentucky (the "Bank") as security for the 
debt of the Trust owing to the Bank. 

     After a number of attempts to privately negotiate a sale 
of New Life, the Trust determined that a sale by advertised
auction was the best available method to relieve the Trust of
the financial burden of this property.  Effective August 6,
1998, the Trust sold New Life at auction to Continuum Health
Partnership, Inc. ("Continuum"), a Colorado corporation not
affiliated with the Trust or its Advisor, for $250,000 in
accordance with the terms of that certain Commercial Contract
to Buy and Sell Real Estate (the "New Life Sales Contract"), 
dated August 6, 1998.  An additional valuation reserve of 
$80,000 has accordingly been recognized as of December 31, 
1997 to give effect to the further impaired value of this 
property.  The Trust received $15,000 on August 6, 1998 
as an earnest money deposit and part payment of the purchase
price and the Trust is scheduled to receive the remaining 
balance of $235,000 in cash at closing on August 24, 1998.
The proceeds from the sales of Country View and New Life did not 
satisfy the outstanding debt related to these facilities.

     Pursuant to separate letters of resignation, each dated
March 2, 1998, Thomas M. Clarke resigned as President, Chief
Executive Officer and Director of the Trust; Linda M. Clarke
resigned as Secretary of the Trust; John F. Lunt resigned as
Director of the Trust; and David Fancher resigned as Chief
Financial Officer of the Trust.  The remaining members of the
Board of Directors, Messrs. Grady P. Hunter, F. Dale Markham and
Charles E. Trefzger voted to accept the resignations on March 19,
1998 at a meeting of the Board of Directors.  As a result, two
vacancies in the Board of Directors exist.

     At the same meeting of the Board of Directors, Mr. Markham
was selected to serve as Chairman, President and Chief Financial
Officer of the Trust with Joan M. Zeller to serve as Secretary of
the Trust.

     In connection with the accepted resignations, effective
March 1, 1998, the remaining members of the Board of Directors of
the Trust voted to terminate the Trust advisory contract with
Lenox Healthcare Capital Services, LLC ("Lenox").  The Trust has
entered into a two year contract for advisory services with HACG. 
The general partner of HACG is Heritage Advisory Corporation
("Heritage").  The stock of Heritage is owned by James R.
Sellers, an affiliate of BHS, the successor lessee of Bayshore.

     The Trust's continuing plan of operation for the 1998 fiscal
year (ending December 31, 1998) is as follows: The Trust intends
to own, lease, sell or auction its remaining Properties.  To the
extent it has funds available for investment (it currently has no
such funds available and no plans for raising such funds), it
will invest primarily in healthcare related properties, including
long term care facilities, assisted living facilities, medical
office buildings, retirement housing facilities, psychiatric
hospitals and substance abuse recovery centers through
acquisitions, joint ventures and mortgage loans.  The Trust may
also invest in commercial, industrial and residential income
producing real properties through similar means.  Since the Trust
has no available funds for such investments, its ability to
undertake such investments will be dependent upon the
availability of capital to the Trust.  See Item 6.  MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.  Additionally, the
Company's mortgage notes payable matured on June 20, 1997 and the
Bank demanded payment in full by letter dated August 15, 1997. 
In that connection, the Trust and the Bank entered into a
Forbearance Agreement (the "Forbearance Agreement") dated as of
April 30, 1998.  

     Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Bank agreed to
forbear from exercising its remedies until July 31, 1998.  In
consideration therefor, the Trust agreed to increase the
outstanding principal amount of a Promissory Note (Renewal and
Increase), dated as of September 20, 1992, in favor of the Bank
from $1,000,000 to $1,681,170.45, a portion of the security of
which is a second mortgage on Bayshore.  The Trust agreed to
waive any defenses, offsets or claims it may have as of the date
of the Forbearance Agreement against the Bank related to the
outstanding debt of the Trust to the Bank.  The Forbearance
Agreement further required the Trust to market the Colorado
Properties and auction them by June 30, 1998, if by May 31, 1998,
the Trust had not sold or had a binding contract on the Colorado
Properties on terms reasonably acceptable to the Trust and the
Bank.  The Forbearance Agreement also contained representations of
the Trust that, among other items, it is solvent and has no
present intention of filing or acquiescing in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding.  To the extent that the Trust would so
file or acquiesce, the Trust agreed not to contest any motion of
the Bank seeking relief from an automatic stay.  Upon (i) a
breach or violation of any term, covenant or condition of the
Forbearance Agreement or related documents, (ii) a material
breach or default under any of the other loan documents in
connection with the Trust indebtedness to the Bank, or (iii) any
representation or warranty or other statement contained in the
Forbearance Agreement or related documents, or any loan documents
in connection with Trust indebtedness to the Bank being false or
misleading in any material respect or omitting a material fact
necessary to make such representation, warranty or statement not
misleading, then the Bank could terminate its forbearance.  On
July 31, 1998, the Forbearance Agreement expired.  To date, the Bank 
has not exercised any rights it may have upon expiration of the 
Forbearance Agreement.

     The Trust also anticipates reviewing and evaluating other
properties for possible investment opportunities.  However, the
Trust's efforts are limited by the resources available and the
Trust's ability to raise additional resources.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

     When financial resources are available, the Trust's primary
business and industry segment is to invest in healthcare related
real properties, including long-term care facilities, assisted
living facilities, medical office buildings, retirement housing
facilities, psychiatric hospitals, and substance abuse recovery
centers through acquisitions, joint ventures and mortgage loans. 
The Trust also may invest in commercial, industrial, and
residential income-producing properties through similar means.

     Through April 30, 1998, New Life was leased to a lessee
unaffiliated with the Trust.   Country View remained vacant and
unused.  The remaining property, Bayshore, is leased to a lessee
affiliated with the Trust.  See Item 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- General Development of Business.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     The Directors of the Trust manage and control the affairs of
the Trust and have general responsibility and ultimate authority
affecting the investments of the Trust.  The Directors have
engaged the Advisor as an investment advisor to select
investments and supervise the day-to-day operations of the Trust. 
HACG, as the Advisor, is engaged primarily in real estate
consulting.

     The Advisor is currently evaluating the Trust's compliance with 
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), the
Treasury Regulations and other relevant laws pertaining to 
qualification of the Trust as a real estate investment trust ("REIT").
In the event the Trust qualifies as a REIT, the Trust would not be 
subject to federal income taxes on amounts distributed to 
stockholders, provided that distributions to stockholders are
at least 95% of the Trust's real estate investment trust taxable 
income and the Trust meets certain other conditions.  In the
event the Trust does not qualify as a REIT, the Trust would be
taxable as a C corporation under the Code.  However, as a taxable
corporation, the Trust would not owe any current tax or tax for
prior years due to its net operating loss carryovers.  Therefore,
no adjustment would be required to the historical financial
statements related to any tax provision.  There can be no
assurance that the Trust will qualify as a REIT for any specific
year.

     The investment objectives of the Trust are (1) to provide
quarterly or more frequent cash distributions to stockholders
from operations, (2) to provide long-term capital appreciation to
stockholders, and (3) to preserve and protect the stockholders
original invested capital.  When and if financial resources are
available, the Trust intends to invest primarily in healthcare
related property, including long-term care facilities, assisted
living facilities, medical office buildings, retirement housing
facilities, psychiatric hospitals and substance abuse recovery
centers through acquisitions, joint ventures, and mortgage loans. 
The Trust also may invest in commercial, industrial and
residential income producing real properties through similar
means.  To the extent funds are not fully invested in real
properties or mortgage loans, the Trust may invest temporarily in
investments such as: (i) short-term government securities, (ii)
securities of government agencies, (iii) bankers' acceptances and
repurchase agreements, (iv) certificates of deposit, (v) deposits
in commercial banks, (vi) participation in pools of mortgages or
bonds and notes, and/or (vii) obligations of municipal, state,
and federal governments and government agencies.

     The current and anticipated business of the Trust is not
seasonal.  The results of operations of the Trust will depend
upon the availability of (i) capital to the Trust, which is
currently limited, (ii) suitable opportunities for investment and
reinvestment of its funds, and (iii) the yields available from
time to time on real estate and other investments.  If capital
were to become available to the Trust, the Trust will be
competing for acceptable investments with other financial
institutions, syndicators, other REITS, investment bankers,
including banks, insurance companies, savings and loan
associations, mortgage bankers, pension funds and other real
estate investment programs (including other real estate
investment programs which may be sponsored by the sponsor or the
Advisor of the Trust in the future) that may have similar
objectives to those of the Trust.  Substantially all competitors
have greater resources than the Trust, its directors, Advisor and
its affiliates.  Further, certain of the directors of the Trust
and officers and directors of the general partner of the Advisor
and its affiliates are engaged for their own account, or on
behalf of other entities, in the type of activities in which the
Trust intends to be engaged.  Thus, the Trust could be in
competition for investments with one or more corporations,
partnerships or trusts with which such directors or officers may
be affiliated.

     The Trust, as of December 31, 1997, did not directly employ
any persons.  The business of the Trust is managed by the
Advisor, with which the Trust has entered into an Advisory
Agreement.  See Item 9.  DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS
AND CONTROL PERSONS - Compliance With Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act and Item 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY 

     BAYSHORE- Bayshore consists of a one story structure built
in 1963 and a two story addition built in 1968.  The structure
totals 35,294 square feet and contains 150 beds.  The Property is
located on an approximately 49,704 square foot parcel of real
estate at 16650 West Dixie Highway in North Miami Beach, Florida.

     COUNTRY VIEW.  Country View is a one story structure
containing approximately 21,688 square feet, constructed during
the early 1970's.  The building is situated on two parcels of
land containing approximately 9.8 acres near Longmont, Colorado. 
This property was operated as an intermediate care facility to
serve the mentally challenged and contains 87 beds.  It is
currently unoccupied.

     NEW LIFE- New Life is a one story structure containing
approximately 18,000 square feet, built in 1957.  The building is
located on a parcel of land containing approximately 1.09 acres,
approximately 3 miles from Greeley, Colorado.  Until April 30,
1998, this property was operated as an intermediate care nursing
home facility to serve the mentally challenged and contains 56
beds.  It is now unoccupied.

     THE LEASES.  The Trust is a party to an operating Lease
under net lease terms on the Bayshore property.  The Lease
permits the lessee thereunder to operate the property as a
healthcare facility licensed for skilled and intermediate long
term nursing services and for such additional uses as may be
approved by the Trust and consented to by the appropriate
mortgage lender.

     THE COLORADO LEASES.  Effective October 1, 1992, upon
rejection of the original leases, the Trust entered into the
Colorado Lease (the "Colorado Lease") of New Life with Res-Care.

     The Colorado Lease had an original term of three (3) years
and originally provided for three (3) one year options to extend,
thus ending on September 30, 1998 if all options were exercised. 
The initial term of this lease expired September 30, 1995.  Res-
Care, as lessee of New Life, negotiated a new option to extend
the New Life lease for thirty (30) months expiring March 31,
1998.  It was subsequently extended for an additional month to
April 30, 1998.  Upon the New Life lease expiration, New Life
became unoccupied.  Effective August 6, 1998, the Trust sold
the New Life property for $250,000.  The lease of Country View 
expired on September 30, 1995 and Country View remained unoccupied 
at December 31, 1997.  Effective July 24, 1998, the Trust sold the
Country View property for $262,500.  See Item 1.  BUSINESS -
General Development of Business.

     The Colorado Lease was a net lease requiring Res-Care to pay
all operating expenses of the properties except for "major"
repairs which are the obligation of the Trust.  "Major" repairs
included, but were not limited to, structural repairs, repairs to
the roof, walls and foundations of the buildings on the leased
premises, maintenance of the electrical wiring and fixtures,
plumbing, heating and air-conditioning equipment, sewage
treatment plant, and repair of driveways and parking areas.

     The Colorado Lease provided for a basic annual rent payable
monthly (the "Annual Base Rent") equal to 115% of the "Annual
Fair Rental Allowance" as determined by the State of Colorado,
Health Facilities Division, or any other agency having
jurisdiction over such rates ("HFD").  The Annual Base Rent was
$150,000 for New Life.  Upon issuance from HFD, and receipt by
Res-Care of notice ("Notice") of a new annual Fair Rental
Allowance, such Annual Fair Rental Allowance was to be
substituted in the calculation of Annual Base Rent effective as
of the date specified in the Notice.  The monthly rent is
adjusted by the percentage decrease or increase in the Client
Base (as defined and adjusted in this paragraph) to arrive at an
adjusted monthly rent.  The initial "Client Base" was deemed to
be 52 at New Life which was the client population resident census
of the facilities as of August 24, 1992.  Any adjustments in the
monthly rent as a result of an increase or decrease in the client
population of either facility commenced the month following such
increase or decrease and were based on the average daily
population for such month.  Furthermore, any decrease in the
client population of either facility which was the result of the
transfer of a client to the supported living program in the
counties of Weld and Boulder, Colorado, known as Community
Advantage, was not considered a population decrease for purposes
of arriving at the adjusted monthly rent.

     The Colorado Lease provided for fixtures and equipment to
secure the landlord's interest in said lease.  At termination of
the lease, title to said fixtures and equipment reverted to the
Trust.  Res-Care was required to furnish regular monthly and
annual financial reports to the Trust.

     THE FLORIDA LEASE.  The Florida Lease was entered into
effective May 1, 1993 by the Trust with BHS.  BHS is owned by
James R. Sellers, an affiliate of the Advisor.  The Florida Lease
has an original term of five (5) years and provides for five (5)
five year options to extend, thus ending on March 31, 2023, if
all options are exercised.  The Florida Lease, as it may be
extended, is a net lease requiring BHS to pay all operating
expenses of the properties.  Minimum rents are composed of two
parts, an equity component and a debt component.  The beginning
equity component is $84,000 annually, payable $7,000 monthly.  A
provision has been made to increase the equity component amount
after reviewing operations for the period from May 1, 1993,
through December 31, 1993.  To date, no change has been made. 
The monthly debt component is an amount not less than the
principal and interest payment charged by the facility first
mortgage lender, presently the Bank.

     A provision is also made for additional rents.  Commencing
on January 1, 1995, and continuing so  long as the Florida Lease
remains in force, additional rent shall be due in amounts equal
to five (5%) percent of the difference in Net Patient Revenues,
compared with Net Patient Revenues for the year ended December
31, 1994, as reported in the financial statements of the facility
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP").  Net Patient Revenues are defined as total
revenues of the facility, including, without limitation, all
ancillary fees, room and board charges, rentals and other revenue
derived in any way from the operation of the facility, on an
accrual basis, after deduction of allowances for contractual
adjustments as they relate to third party payors and before
deduction of any and all expenses.  The lessee is required to
present the amount defined as Net Patient Revenues in its regular
financial reporting.

     The Florida Lease provides for fixtures and equipment to
secure the landlord's interest in the Florida Lease.  At
termination of such lease, title to said fixtures and equipment
reverts to the Trust.  BHS is required to furnish regular monthly
and annual financial reports to the Trust.

     As of December 31, 1997, real estate taxes through 1997 of
($32,967) were due and owing on the Bayshore Convalescent Center. 
These are the responsibility of the lessee.  If the lessee does
not, responsibility would shift to the Trust.  Trust management
is reasonably confident the lessee will make the tax payments.

     THE LOANS. Each of the three (3) properties owned by the
Trust at December 31, 1997, was funded by a combination of cash
and mortgage loans.  The Bank, formerly Citizens Fidelity Bank &
Trust Company, holds the loans on Bayshore and on the Colorado
Properties.

     THE COLORADO PROPERTIES LOAN.  The first mortgage loan to
the Bank totals $1,681,170.45 as of December 31, 1997.  All
interest payments have been kept current during 1997 and through
June 20, 1998.  The loan, as extended, became due on July
31, 1998.  The loan is secured by first mortgages, assignments of
leases and rents thereunder.

     THE BAYSHORE LOAN. The first mortgage loan to the Bank
totals $3,142,088.07 as of December 31, 1997.  All interest
payments have been kept current during 1997 and through June 20
1998.  The loan, as extended, became due on July 31, 1998. 
The loan is secured by first mortgages, assignments of leases and
rents thereunder.  In addition, the Bayshore Loan is secured by a
$1,681,170 second mortgage on the Colorado Properties.

     As noted above, the Company's mortgage notes matured on July
31, 1998. This date is pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement
dated as of April 30, 1998.  Management is currently seeking
sources to refinance the mortgage notes payable.  Trust
management believes that the mortgage note lender will not demand
payment prior to the successful completion of any refinancing
transaction.  There can be no assurance that the Trust will be
successful in its refinancing efforts or that the Bank will not
demand payment of the mortgage notes payable.

     Management believes Bayshore and the Colorado Properties are
adequately insured.  As of June 30, 1998 occupancy at Bayshore is
81%.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On March 11, 1998, John W. Madagan, Sr., d/b/a Sundance
Realty Advisors filed an action in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts District Court Department, Pittsfield Division
entitled John W. Madagan, Sr., d/b/a Sundance Realty Advisors, v.
Lenox Healthcare, Inc. and Healthcare Investors of America, Inc.
in Civil Action No. 9827-CV-0199.  This suit alleges that Lenox
Healthcare, Inc.. ("Lenox Healthcare") and the Trust owe
compensation in the amount of $50,000 to Sundance Realty Advisors
("Sundance") as a result of John W. Madagan, Sr. ("Madagan")
having introduced Lenox Healthcare and the Trust to one another. 
This allegation is pursuant to a letter attached to the Complaint
dated November 8, 1996.  Additional correspondence in 1997 is
alleged to have been sent by Lenox Healthcare indicating the
Trust's commitment to the compensation to Madagan for services
performed, at which time an alleged good faith partial payment to
Sundance in the amount of $4,970 was paid.  The Complaint alleges
joint and several liability for both the Defendants for the
unpaid amounts, interest thereon plus attorneys fees,
disbursements, expenses and litigation and collection costs.  The
Trust has responded to this Complaint.  Although the Trust
intends to vigorously defend the allegations, at this time the
Trust is not in a position to comment upon the possible outcome
of this litigation or as to the loss or range of loss, if any, in
connection therewith.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS


     The Trust did not submit any matter during the fourth
quarter of 1997 requiring a vote of its shareholders.

                             PART II

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR  TRUST'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

MARKET INFORMATION; DISCLOSURE RELATING TO LOW PRICE STOCK

     The Trust Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter
market on an electronic bulletin board established for securities
that do not meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing requirements
or what is commonly referred to as the "pink sheets" under the
symbol "HCIV".  As a result, holders of Common Stock should
expect to find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain
accurate quotations on the price of the Common Stock. 
Additionally, sales practice requirements are imposed on broker-
dealers who trade in the Common Stock other than established
customers and accredited investors.  For transactions covered by
this rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's
written consent to the transaction prior to sale.  Such burdens
on trading in the Common Stock should be expected to discourage
active trading which would reduce the liquidity of the Common
Stock and increase the spread between the bid and ask prices
quoted by these broker-dealers, if any, which quote the Common
Stock.  The Trust has selected S. W. Ryan & Company as market
makers for its shares.

     Based on representations made to the Advisor by the transfer
agent of the shares of the Trust, no sales occurred during 1997,
1996 and 1995.  The transfer agent for the Common Stock of the
Trust is Gemisys, Inc., Evergreen, Colorado.

HOLDERS

     As of July 1, 1998, there were 397,600 shares of Common
Stock outstanding, which were owned by approximately 400 holders
of record.  

DIVIDENDS

     The Trust last declared dividends on the Common Stock in the
amount of $0.06 per share in May, 1992.  Unless property sales or
leases are made in 1998 which result in receipt by the Trust of
sale or lease proceeds, there will not likely be cash available
for distributions for purposes of declaring and paying any
dividends in 1998.  Under the Code a REIT must meet certain
qualifications, including a requirement that it distribute
annually to its stockholders at least 95% of its taxable income
as that term is defined in Part II, Subchapter M of Chapter I of
the Code and regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder.  The
Trust intends to distribute quarterly or more frequently to its
stockholders on a pro-rata basis substantially all cash available
for distribution.  The Trust anticipates that such cash
distributions will aggregate annually at least 95% of its REIT
taxable income.


ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION

GENERAL

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto
appearing elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1996.

     For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Trust had a net
loss of $471,741, or $1.19 per share, as compared to a net loss
of $104,790, or $0.26 per share for 1996.

     REVENUES.  The Company primarily derives its revenues from
the leasing of facilities to healthcare providers.  Revenues for
the year ended December 31, 1997 were $727,241, a decrease of
$31,979 or 4.2% from revenues of $759,220 for the year ended
December 31, 1996.  The decrease in revenues was primarily the
result of the loss of lease revenues associated with an
unoccupied property.

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and
amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 1997 was
$132,026, a decrease of $23,528 or 15.1% from $155,554 for 
the year ended December 31, 1996.  This decrease is the result
of the suspension of depreciation on the Country View facility
when it became vacant in September 1995.

     REDUCTION IN NET CARRYING VALUE OF PROPERTY.  The Company
recognized an additional valuation of $280,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 to give effect to the further impaired value of
the Country View and New Life properties, which were subsequently 
sold on July 24, 1998 for $262,500 and August 6, 1998 for $250,000,
respectively.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  For the year ended December 31, 1997,
interest expense totaled $473,498, a decrease of $35,242 or 6.9%
from $508,740 for the year ended December 31, 1996.  This
decrease is the result of a decrease in the mortgage rate on the 
loans on the Trust properties during 1997.

     ADVISOR AND DIRECTORS FEES.  Advisor and directors fees
consist of costs associated with the advisor and directors of the
Company.  Advisor and directors fees for the year ended December
31, 1997 were $63,000, similar to the $63,872 paid for the year
ended December 31,  1996.  

     OTHER EXPENSES.  Other expenses for the year ended December
31, 1997 were $250,458 an increase of $114,614 or 84.4% from
$135,844 for the year ended December 31, 1996.  This increase is
primarily the result of costs associated with an increase in (i)
utilities, insurance  and contract services related to an
unoccupied facility, (ii) legal costs related to an uncompleted
refinance of Bayshore and potential but unsuccessful acquisition,
and (iii) audit fees for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996.  

     OTHER MATTERS.  The Trust adopted the provisions of
Statement on Financial Accounting Standards Number 121 ("SFAS
121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".  The adoption of SFAS 121
did not have a material effect on the Trust's financial
statements because the Trust had previously recorded writedowns
of property carrying amounts to net realizable value.

LIQUIDITY

     Cash decreased from $166,959 at December 31, 1996 to $89,965
at December 31, 1997.  Rent and other receivables decreased from
$60,309 at December 31, 1996 to $29,267 at December 31, 1997. 
This decrease was primarily the result of collections of long-
term notes receivable.  Building and improvements net, decreased
from $4,359,998 at December 31, 1996 to $3,947,972 at December
31, 1997.  This decrease was primarily the result of the
depreciation of the Company's properties and the recognition of a
$280,000 valuation reserve on the Country View and New Life properties, 
which were sold for $262,500 on July 24, 1998, and $250,000 on
August 6, 1998, respectively.  Mortgage notes payable
decreased from $4,971,910 at December 31, 1996 to $4,823,258 at
December 31, 1997.  This decrease was primarily the result of
payments of principal on mortgaged property.  Distributions in
excess of net earnings increased from ($3,747,370) at December
31, 1996 to ($4,219,111) at December 31, 1997.  This increase is
the result of the net loss in 1997.

     The Trust has relied solely on rental income to pay its
expenses in 1997 and 1996.  Cash flows provided by operations
were $71,658 in 1997 and $65,673 in 1996.

     The above discussion and the Trust's financial statements
have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Trust had
three properties remaining, one of which is under lease, thus
limiting cash flows available to pay operating expenses. 
Mortgage notes payable on the Trust's properties mature on June
20, 1997 and the Bank demanded payment in full by letter dated
August 15, 1997.  In that connection, the Bank entered into
the Forbearance Agreement April 30, 1998 which extended the
maturity date to July 31, 1998.  See Item 1.  DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS - General Development of Business.  The current maturity
of all of the Trust's notes payable, accumulated recurring
operating losses and the carrying costs of unleased assets raise
a substantial doubt about the Trust's ability to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time.

     Management's plans include continuing to seek sources to
refinance the mortgage notes payable on Bayshore and minimizing
operating costs.  Effective July 24, 1998, the Trust sold the
Country View property for $262,500.  Effective August 6, 1998,
the Trust sold the New Life property for $250,000.  See Item 1.  
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - General Development of Business.

     There can be no assurance that the Trust's refinancing
efforts will be successful or that the Lender will not demand
payment of the mortgage notes payable.

     The Trust also anticipates reviewing and evaluating other
properties for possible investment opportunities.  However, the
Trust's efforts are limited by the resources available and the
Trust's ability to raise additional capital.

     The Advisor is currently evaluating the Trust's compliance with 
the provisions of the Code, the Treasury Regulations and other 
relevant laws pertaining to qualification of the Trust as a 
REIT.  In the event the Trust qualifies as a REIT, the Trust 
would not be subject to federal income taxes on amounts distributed 
to stockholders, provided that distributions to stockholders are 
at least 95% of the Trust's real estate investment trust taxable 
income and the Trust meets certain other conditions.  In the event 
the Trust does not qualify as a REIT, the Trust would be taxable 
as a C corporation under the Code.  However, as a taxable corporation, 
the Trust would not owe any current tax or tax for prior years due 
to its net operating loss carryovers.  Therefore, no adjustment 
would be required to the historical financial statements related 
to any tax provision.  There can be no assurance that the Trust 
will qualify as a REIT for any specific year.

     Much national attention is currently focused on healthcare
reform.  Although there is concern as to the status of
reimbursement programs on which the Trust indirectly relies for
its rental income, management believes the long term care
industry will benefit from any significant healthcare reform.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial statements are listed under Item 13:  Exhibits
and Reports on Form 8-K.  The financial statements are listed
herein beginning on page F-1.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     As reported in the Form 8-K for the event reported on March
19, 1998:

     (i)  On March 19, 1998, the Trust dismissed Arthur Andersen
          LLP ("Arthur Andersen") as its independent accountants.

     (ii) The 1996 Independent Auditor's Report issued by Arthur
          Andersen was modified as follows:  "The accompanying
          financial statements have been prepared assuming that
          the Trust will continue as a going concern.  As
          discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the
          accumulation of losses, the carrying costs of unleased
          assets and the current maturity of all of the Trust's
          notes payable raise a substantial doubt about its
          ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's
          plans concerning these matters are also described in
          Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any
          adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
          uncertainty."

          The 1995 Independent Auditor's Report issued by LaVoie,
          Clark, Charvoz & May ("LCC&M), the independent
          accountants for the Trust in 1995 and previous years,
          was modified as follows:  "The accompanying financial
          statements have been prepared assuming that the Trust
          will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note
          1 to the financial statements, the accumulated
          recurring operating losses, the carrying costs of
          unleased assets and the current maturity of all of the
          Trust's notes payable raise a substantial doubt about
          its ability to continue as a going concern. 
          Management's plans concerning these matters are also
          described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not
          include any adjustments that might result from the
          outcome of this uncertainty."

   (iii)  The decision to change accountants was approved by the
          Board of Directors.

     (iv) (A)  With respect to Arthur Andersen, during the fiscal
               year of the Trust ended December 31, 1996, and for
               the interim period from December 31, 1996 through
               March 19, 1998, there were no disagreements
               between Arthur Andersen and the Trust for the
               respective applicable periods, whether or not
               resolved, on any matter of accounting principles
               or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
               auditing scope or procedure, which, if not
               resolved to the accountant's satisfaction, would
               have caused the accountant to make reference to
               the subject matter of the disagreement in
               connection with the report of such accountant.

               With respect to LCC&M, during the fiscal year
               ended December 31, 1995, there were no
               disagreements between LCC&M and the Trust, for the
               applicable period, whether or not resolved, on any
               matter of accounting principles or practices,
               financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
               or procedure, which, if not resolved to the
               accountant's satisfaction, would have caused such
               accountant to make reference to the subject matter
               of the disagreement in connection with the report
               of such accountant.

     (iv) (B)  Not applicable.

     (iv) (C)  Not applicable.

     (iv) D)   Not applicable.

     (iv) (E)  Not applicable.

(a) (2)   The Trust has engaged LCC&M as the auditor for the year
          ended December 31, 1997.

GENERAL

     The Directors of the Trust are responsible for the
management and control of the affairs of the Trust but have
retained the Advisor to, among other things, locate, investigate,
evaluate, and recommend real property and mortgage loan
investment opportunities for the Trust.  The Advisor also serves
as a consultant in connection with the investment policy
decisions made by the Directors and supervises, subject to
direction of the Directors, the day-to-day operations of the
Trust.  The By-laws of the Trust provide that a majority of the
Trust's Directors must be unaffiliated with the Advisor and its
affiliates ("Unaffiliated Directors").  The remaining Directors
may be affiliates of the Trust ("Affiliated Directors"). 
Further, the By-laws provide that the Trust should have five
directors; however, at this time, no qualified or willing persons
to become directors have been located.  Presently, the Trust has
three directors, all of whom may be considered Unaffiliated
Directors.

     F. Dale Markham has served as Chairman of the Board of the
Trust since May 16, 1991.  He formerly served as President, Vice
President and Secretary through December 1996, and has been a
Director of the Trust since its inception in 1987.  Effective
March 3, 1998, he was elected President and Chief Financial
Officer. From 1991 until his retirement effective December 31,
1994, he was a Mortgage Banking Consultant and Founder of the
Real Estate Financing Division of Wardon Financial Corporation, a
mortgage banking firm located in Phoenix, Arizona.  From 1982
through 1990, he was President, a Director, and a Principal
Stockholder of Markham, Sellers & Mony, Inc., a mortgage banking

current Advisor and a Sponsor of the Trust.  Mr. Markham served
as President of Western American Financial Corporation, a
mortgage banking firm from 1974 to 1982.  He has been involved in
mortgage banking and real estate activities since 1957.

     Linda M. Clarke was the Trust Secretary from December 1996
through March 2, 1998.  She has been Treasurer of Stockbridge
since 1991.  Mrs. Clarke has over seven years experience in the
healthcare industry.  In addition to her position with

     Pursuant to separate letters of resignation, each dated
March 2, 1998, Thomas M. Clarke resigned as President, Chief
Executive Officer and Director of the Trust; Linda M. Clarke
resigned as Secretary of the Trust; John F. Lunt resigned as
Director of the Trust; and David Fancher resigned as Chief
Financial Officer of the Trust.  The remaining members of the
Board of Directors, Messrs. Grady P. Hunter, F. Dale Markham and
Charles E. Trefzger voted to accept the resignations on March 19,
1998 at a meeting of the Board of Directors.  As a result, two
vacancies in the Board of Directors exist.

     At the same meeting of the Board of Directors, Mr. Markham
was selected to serve as Chairman, President and Chief Financial
Officer of the Trust with Joan M. Zeller to serve as Secretary of
the Trust.

     In connection with the resignations, Mr. Clarke submitted a
letter (the "Clarke Letter") dated March 4, 1998 to Mr. Markham
stating that Mr. Sellers had engaged in discussions with respect
to the receipt of a formal proposal for the sale of Bayshore to
the facility manager of the facility.  Mr. Clarke stated that
these actions are inconsistent with discussions held during the
February 10, 1998 Board of Directors meeting of the Trust with
respect to terminating the facility manager for blatant
violations of a certain Management Agreement dated May 1, 1993. 
Mr. Clarke stated that such actions indicated, among other
things, a lack of confidence in Lenox's ability to consummate
acquisitions and provide financing to the Trust.  Mr. Clarke did
not specifically request that the explanation for his resignation
be included in this Form 8-K, filed March 26, 1998.

     Mr. Markham, in a letter dated March 26, 1998 to Mr. Clarke,
stated, among other things, that the reasons set forth in the
Clarke Letter seemed without merit and did not reflect the facts. 
Other principals of the Trust agreed that the contents of the
Clarke Letter were not reflective of the facts.  Mr. Markham also
noted that discussions involving Mr. Clarke had occurred in
connection with the unsuccessful attempts of the facility manager
to reach Mr. Clarke regarding the person to whom the facility
manager should submit his unsolicited offer to purchase Bayshore. 
Mr. Markham advised that as a result of this inability to contact
Mr. Clarke, the facility manager talked with Mr. Sellers as a
member of the then Trust advisor regarding the offer to purchase.

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE ADVISOR

     During 1997, the Trust was under contract with Lenox.  Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas M. Clarke own 50% of Lenox. The other 50% of
Lenox is owned by entities affiliated with James R. Sellers.  In
connection with the resignations of Mr. and Mrs. Clarke and Mr.
Lunt as directors and executive officers of the Trust and Mr.
Fancher as an executive officer of the Trust, the remaining Board
members of the Trust voted to terminate the Trust advisory
contract with Lenox.  As a result and effective March 1, 1998 the
Trust entered into a contract for advisory services with HACG. 
The general partner of HACG is Heritage.  All of the stock of
Heritage is held by James R. Sellers, an affiliate of BHS, the
lessee of Bayshore.

     James R. Sellers, age 64, is the President and sole
stockholder of Heritage, an affiliate of the Advisor.  Heritage
had been the Managing General Partner of the Advisor since July,
1990, when it succeeded Markham, Sellers & Mony, Inc. ("MSM").  
Mr. Sellers is also the sole stockholder of BHS, the lessee of
Bayshore.  Mr. Sellers has been Senior Vice President of Keystone
Mortgage Partners LLC, formerly known as Keystone Capital Group,
Inc., an Arizona based mortgage banking firm since May, 1993. 
Mr. Sellers was Senior Vice President of Catalina Mortgage
Company, also an Arizona based mortgage banking firm, from July,
1990 until May, 1993.  From 1982 to 1990, he served as Executive
Vice President, a director, and a principal stockholder of MSM
the original Managing General Partner of the original Advisor. 
From 1974 until 1978, he served as a Vice President and
thereafter until 1982 as Senior Vice President of Western
American Financial Corporation, a mortgage banking firm, where he
supervised income property lending staffs throughout the western
United States.

     The Trust paid or accrued annual directors fees of $11,000

Directors' meeting attended in person.  In 1997, $11,000 in
accrued Director's fees and $24,000 in accrued Special Fees were
paid  to Mr. Markham that had been accrued from previous years.

     The Trust may pay officers whose only affiliation is a

required to pay any compensation to officers and directors of the
Trust who are also affiliated with the Advisor or its affiliates. 
Although directors and officers affiliated with the Advisor are
compensated indirectly by their relationship to the Advisor and
its affiliated companies, the Trust agreed to pay Mr. Sellers'
company, Heritage Advisory Corporation, the former advisor, the
sum of $3,000 per month beginning May 1, 1992, for an indefinite
period.  Mr. Sellers voluntarily reduced the monthly payment to
$2,000 per month beginning August 1, 1993; to $1,600 per month
beginning November, 1993; and to $1,000 per month beginning April
1, 1994 which continued to October 31, 1996 after which it
ceased.  

     No other direct compensation was paid or payable by the
Trust during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

(1)  The current Advisor as of July 1, 1998, Harbor American
Capital Group, owns of record and beneficially 20,000 shares of
Common stock.  The former managing general partner of  the
Advisor, MSM and each of the former officers, directors and
principal shareholders of MSM (F. Dale Markham, the Estate of
Marvin Mony, and James R. Sellers) may be deemed to be beneficial
owners of the shares of Common Stock owned of record by Harbor
American Capital Group.

(2)  Harbor American Capital Group agreed to distribute to each
Unaffiliated Director, prior to 1989, as additional compensation,
1,000 shares of Trust Common Stock for each of the first three
fiscal years of the Trust.  As of the date hereof, Harbor
American Capital Group has neither purchased any such shares from
the Public Offering nor has it purchased such shares from broker
dealers since the termination of the Public Offering. 
Discussions between Harbor American Capital Group and Mr. Hunter,
the only Unaffiliated Director involved,  have been held as to
the elimination of this distribution to the Unaffiliated
Director; however, no final agreement has been reached with
respect to this form of compensation.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

percent (5%) shareholders during fiscal year 1997.  The former
managing general partner of the Advisor (MSM), and each of the
principal shareholders of MSM (F. Dale Markham, the Estate of
Marvin Mony and James R. Sellers) and present officer, director
and shareholder of Heritage (James R. Sellers), may be deemed to
be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the shares of Common
Stock of the Trust.
     
ACQUISITION FEES

     The Advisor receives acquisition fees with respect to each
real property purchased by or on behalf of the Trust, equal to up
to 5% of the contract price for the property.  No such properties
were purchased during 1997 and therefore no acquisition fees were
paid.

paid Advisory Fees to Harbor American Capital Group, the current
advisor, in the amount of $0.00 and $20,000 to Lenox, the then

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Healthcare Investors of America, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of HEALTHCARE INVESTORS
OF AMERICA, INC. (a Maryland Corporation) as of December 31, 1996,
and the related statements of income (loss) (with reconciliation of
distributions in excess of net earnings), and cash flows for the
year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Trust's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
Healthcare Investors of America, Inc. as of December 31, 1996,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming 
that the Trust will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in
Note 1 to the financial statements, the accumulated recurring operating
losses, the carrying costs of unleased assets and the current maturity
of all of the Trust's notes payable raise a substantial doubt about 
its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans 
concerning these matters are also described in Note 1.  The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Healthcare
Investors of America, Inc., (the "Trust"), as of December 31,
1997 and the related statements of operations (with
reconciliation of distributions in excess of net earnings), and
cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Trust's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.  Other auditors audited the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 for
which their opinion, dated April 28, 1997, contained explanation
and comment substantially similar to that contained below.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Healthcare Investors of America, Inc. as of December 31, 1997,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Trust will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in
Notes 1 and 7 to the financial statements, the accumulation of
losses and carrying costs of an unleased facility raise a
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.  Management's plans concerning these matters are also
described in Notes 1 and 7.  The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

              HEALTHCARE INVESTORS OF AMERICA, INC.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996


NOTE 1:  ORGANIZATION
---------------------

The affairs of Healthcare Investors of America, Inc. (the "Trust")
are managed by its advisor, Lenox Healthcare Capital Services, LLC
(the "Predecessor Advisor"), as succeeded by Harbor American
Capital Group (the "Advisor") effective March 1, 1998.  The Trust
engages in acquiring and leasing health care facilities (nursing
homes and intermediate care mental retardation developmentally
disabled nursing facilities) under long-term leases.

The Advisor is currently evaluating the Trust's compliance with 
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), Treasury 
Regulations and other relevant laws pertaining to the qualification 
of the Trust as a real estate investment trust ("REIT").  The 
historical financial statements presented are prepared under the 
assumption that the Trust qualified as a REIT.  If the Trust 
qualified as a REIT, then it is not subject to federal income 
taxes on amounts distributed to stockholders provided distributions 
to stockholders are at least 95% of the Trust's real estate 
investment trust taxable income and the Trust meets certain other 
conditions.  In the event it is determined that the Trust did not 
qualify as a REIT, the Trust would be taxable as a C corporation 
under the Code.  However, as a taxable corporation, the Trust 
would not owe any current tax or tax for prior years due to its 
net operating loss carryovers.  Therefore, no adjustment would be 
required to the historical financial statements presented related 
to any tax provision.

The Advisor and the Trust's independent accountants intend to assist
the Trust in determining the best method to clarify its tax
status.  The Advisor and the Trust's independent accountants
are reviewing various alternatives, including having the Trust
obtain a tax opinion as to its status, requesting a determination
letter from the Internal Revenue Service and evaluating the
applicability of reelecting status as a REIT.  If a determination
is made that the Trust does not qualify as a REIT for purposes
of the Code, the Advisor intends to assist the Trust in implementing
procedures to requalify the Trust as a REIT.

The Trust's financial statements have been presented on the basis
that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business.  The Trust has three properties, one in Florida and
two in Colorado.  As of December 31, 1997, the Florida Property
(defined herein) and only one of the Colorado Properties (defined
herein) were leased.  Therefore, the cash flow available to pay
operating expenses is limited.

Management's plans include continuing to seek sources to
refinance the loan on the Florida Property and Colorado
Properties and/or to sell the Colorado Properties, developing
alternative uses to retain the economic viability of the Colorado
Properties, and minimizing operating costs.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts or the amount of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Trust be unable to
continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
---------------------------------------------------

(1)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the statement of
     -------------------------
     cash flow, the Trust considers all short-term debt
     securities purchased with an original maturity of three
     months or less to be cash equivalents.

(2)  BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS - Depreciation of these assets is
     --------------------------
     computed by the straight-line method over the useful lives
     of the assets which have been estimated to be 20 to 40
     years.  The Trust periodically evaluates the net realizable
     value of its properties and provides a valuation allowance
     when it becomes probable there has been a permanent
     impairment of value.  Depreciation is suspended while a
     facility is vacant.

(3)  LOAN COSTS - Loan costs have been deferred and are being
     ----------
     amortized using the straight-line method over the term of
     the related borrowing.

(4)  REVENUE RECOGNITION - Rental income from operating leases is
     -------------------
     recognized as earned over the life of the lease agreements.

(5)  INCOME TAXES - As of December 31, 1997, the Company had net
     ------------
     operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of
     approximately $1,341,000 which will expire beginning in
     2006.  The Trust did not file its applicable Federal and
     State income tax return for the periods 1992 through 1997
     on a timely basis.  The Trust had cumulative net operating
     losses during the periods from 1991 through 1997.

     The Advisor and the Trust's independent accountants are currently 
     evaluating the Trust's compliance with the provisions of the 
     Code, Treasury Regulations and other relevant laws pertaining 
     to the qualification of the Trust as a REIT.  The historical 
     financial statements presented are prepared under the assumption 
     that the Trust qualified as a REIT.  If the Trust qualified as 
     a REIT, then it is not subject to federal income taxes on amounts 
     distributed to stockholders provided distributions to stockholders 
     are at least 95% of the Trust's real estate investment trust 
     taxable income and the Trust meets certain other conditions.  
     In the event it is determined that the Trust did not qualify 
     as a REIT, the Trust would be taxable as a C corporation under 
     the Code.  However, as a taxable corporation, the Trust would 
     not owe any current tax or tax for prior years due to its net 
     operating loss carryovers.  Therefore, no adjustment would be 
     required to the historical financial statements presented related 
     to any tax provision.

     The Advisor and the Trust's independent accountants intend to 
     assist the Trust in determining the best method to clarify its 
     tax status.  The Advisor and the Trust's independent accountants
     are reviewing various alternatives, including having the Trust
     obtain a tax opinion as to its status, requesting a determination
     letter from the Internal Revenue Service and evaluating the
     applicability of reelecting status as a REIT.  If a determination
     is made that the Trust does not qualify as a REIT for the purposes
     of the Code, the Advisor intends to assist the Trust in implementing
     procedures to requalify the Trust.

(6)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying values of
     -----------------------------------
     the financial instruments disclosed elsewhere in these
     notes, are deemed to be representative of their fair values,
     as the interest rates approximate market rates giving
     consideration to their respective risks.

(7)  USE OF ESTIMATES - Management has made certain estimates and
     ----------------
     assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
     disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

NOTE 3:  REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES AND LEASES
------------------------------------------

At December 31, 1997 and 1996 the Trust owned three nursing homes
(the "Properties"), two of which are located in Colorado (the
"Colorado Properties"), and one in Florida (the "Florida
Property").  On March 9, 1994, the Trust sold its Marshall Manor
property ("Marshall Manor") which was located in Michigan.  
Included in the caption "Rent and other receivables" is the 
discounted contract balance of $18,404 at December 31, 1996 
resulting from the sale of Marshall Manor.  The contract, 
requiring quarterly payments of $18,750 was paid in full in 
April 1997.

At December 31, 1997, the net book values of the Properties are
as follows:

</TABLE>

The carrying values of the Colorado Properties were reduced in
1992 and 1993 by $2,491,000 to the amounts expected to be
realized upon disposition of such properties.  The carrying value
of the Colorado Properties was reduced an additional $280,000 in 
1997 based on the subsequent sale of both of the Colorado Properties.
Trust management has evaluated the carrying values of the Properties 
and believes that the remaining net carrying value of each of the 
Properties is realizable.

THE COLORADO PROPERTIES

Country View ("Country View"), one of the Colorado Properties, 
was vacant as of December 31, 1997.  As further disclosed in Note 7, 
this property was subsequently sold on July 24, 1998.  An additional 
$200,000 impairment of value has accordingly been recognized as of
December 31, 1997.

The other Colorado facility ("New Life") was leased to Res-Care,
Inc. ("Res-Care") at December 31, 1997.  The lease provided for a 
basic rent equal to 115% of the annual fair rental allowance as 
determined by the State of Colorado, to be adjusted by the 
percentage decrease or increase in the "client base" at the facility.  
The annual base rent was $150,000 at December 31, 1997.  This lease 
expired on April 30, 1998.  As further disclosed in Note 7, New
Life was subsequently sold on August 6, 1998.  An additional
$80,000 impairment of value accordingly has been recognized as 
of December 31, 1997.

New Life housed mentally retarded, developmentally disabled 
("MRDD") patients for the State of Colorado.  The State of 
Colorado has interpreted certain federal guidelines pertaining
to the active treatment of MRDD patients and has determined that
the patients must be moved into private housing.  As a result,
the MRDD patients were removed prior to the end of the lease term.

THE FLORIDA PROPERTY

Effective May 1, 1993, the Trust entered into a five year lease
with a successor lessee, Bayshore Healthcare Services, Inc.
("BHS"), an affiliate of the Advisor.  BHS has the option to
renew for an additional five, five year terms.  The first lease
renewal option was exercised on May 1, 1998.

The lease provides for monthly rentals consisting of an equity
component of $7,000 and a debt component equal to the amount of
the Trust's mortgage payment.  Commencing January 1, 1995,
additional rents may be earned, equal to 5% of the incremental
net patient revenue increase over the 1994 base year.  No
additional rent has been earned or paid to date.

In accordance with the provisions of the Forbearance Agreement
(defined herein), the monthly payment on the mortgage has been
subsequently increased to $51,958, resulting in a monthly payment
of $58,958 on the subsequently extended lease by BHS.  The
unaudited financial statements of BHS reflect substantial working
capital and liquidity deficiencies.  There is no assurance that
the extended terms of the lease represent a market rate or that
BHS has the liquidity to pay this amount over the duration of the
extended term of the lease.

Minimum annual lease payments, including the aforementioned
extension, expected to be received by the Trust on all leased
properties during the lease terms are as follows:

The Properties are secured by first mortgages, assignments of the
lease and rents thereunder.  The bank mortgage note on the
Colorado Properties is also secured, to the extent of $1,681,170,
by a second mortgage on the Florida Property.

The Trust entered into a Forbearance Agreement which is further
discussed in Note 7.

NOTE 5:  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
-----------------------------------

Effective November 1, 1996, the Trust entered into an agreement
with the Predecessor Advisor, and affiliates of the Predecessor
Advisor, to provide various services to the Trust in exchange for
fees, as follows:

a.   Advisory fees at an annual rate of the greater of $30,000 or
     5% of net income of the Trust, as defined.  The Trust
     incurred advisory fees of $30,000 to the Predecessor Advisor
     and $5,000 to the Advisor during 1997 and 1996,
     respectively.

b.   Property management, acquisition and disposition fees to be
     paid based upon contractual agreements between the parties. 
     The Trust has incurred no such fees in 1996 or 1997.

Prior to November 1, 1996, the Trust was a party to an agreement
with the Advisor (who currently serves in an advisory capacity)
to provide various services to the Trust in exchange for fees, as
follows:

a.   Advisory fees at an annual rate of the greater of .3% of
     average invested assets of the Trust, as defined with
     additional fees based on earnings.  The Trust incurred
     advisory fees of $23,000 during 1996.

b.   Property management, acquisition and disposition fees to be
     paid based upon contractual agreements between the parties. 
     The Trust has incurred no such fees in 1996 or 1997.

c.   Incentive advisory service fees, payable annually in an
     amount equal to 5% of the cash available for distribution to
     stockholders for the fiscal year.  The Trust did not make
     any distributions to stockholders during 1996 and 1997, to
     date.  As a result, the Trust incurred no incentive advisory
     fees for those periods.

d.   Mortgage servicing fees, at varying rates dependent upon the
     types of loans services.  The Trust has paid no mortgage
     servicing fees to date.

Leasing transactions with related parties are described in Note
3.

In 1993, BHS, as successor lessee of the Florida Property, made a
$47,921 payment of interest which had been accrued on the related
mortgage loan.  This amount is being amortized over the term of
the lease.

NOTE 6:  DISPUTED CLAIMS
------------------------

Management of the Predecessor Advisor entered into certain
transactions related to the potential debt refinancing and/or
sale of the Properties.  The Trust has recorded certain
professional fees related to those transactions as disputed
claims, believing that they are obligations, not of the Trust,
but of former management or other third parties.  In connection
with one of these disputes, the Trust has been named a
codefendant with the Predecessor Advisor for payment of fees
totaling approximately $50,000 which relate to establishing the
advisory relationship with the Predecessor Advisor.  The advisory
relationship was terminated by the Trust for nonperformance of
management of the Predecessor Advisor.  It is the opinion of
current management that these claims are the obligation of former
management due to its nonperformance.

NOTE 7:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
--------------------------

     At December 31, 1997, two of the three Properties were
leased under operating agreements.  Bayshore was leased to BHS. 
BHS is an affiliate of the Trust as it is owned by James R.
Sellers, an affiliate of the Advisor.  New Life was leased to
Res-Care, an unaffiliated entity, pursuant to a lease which
expired in April, 1998.  Effective April 30, 1998, New Life
became an unoccupied facility upon expiration of the Res-Care
lease.  On September 30, 1995, Country View was vacated by the
lessee and remains unoccupied.

     The State of Colorado interpreted certain Federal
Healthcare Finance Agency guidelines pertaining to "active
treatment" of MRDD patients, such as those receiving care at the
Colorado Properties.  The State's interpretation required
these patients to be moved into private housing and out of
institutional housing such as that offered at the Colorado
Properties.

     The terms of the lease with Res-Care provided for lease
payments based on the number of patients residing at the Colorado
Properties as well as those placed outside of the facilities
under the "Community Advantage" program.

     Therefore management believed that the Colorado Properties 
might ultimately have to be used for purposes other than
the present MRDD use.  Trust management worked during 1997 to
develop alternative uses for Country View and New Life. 
Effective July 24, 1998, the Trust sold Country View to William
E. Harper ("Harper"), an individual not affiliated with the Trust
or its Advisor, for $262,500 in accordance with the terms of
Commercial Contracts to Buy and Sell Real Estate (the "Country
View Sales Contract"), dated June 17, 1998, as amended.  An
additional valuation reserve of $200,000 has accordingly been
recognized as of December 31, 1997 to give effect to the further
impaired value of this property.  At closing on July 24, 1998,
the Trust received $80,000 in cash and is the payee of two
promissory notes (the "Harper Notes"), each dated July 24, 1998,
from Harper in the respective original principal amounts of
$100,000 and $82,500.  The Harper Notes pay interest only at 9.5%
per annum until maturity on July 24, 2000.  The Harper Notes are
secured by a Deed of Trust (the "Harper Mortgage"), dated July
24, 1998, from Harper for the benefit of the Trust, on the
Country View property.  Pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of
Promissory Notes and Deeds of Trust (the "1998 Collateral
Assignment"), dated as of July 24, 1998, the Trust assigned the
Harper Notes and the Harper Mortgage to PNC Bank, National
Association, Louisville, Kentucky (the "Bank") as security for
the debt of the Trust owing to the Bank.  

     After a number of attempts to privately negotiate a sale 
of New Life, the Trust determined that a sale by advertised
auction was the best available method to relieve the Trust of
the financial burden of this property.  Effective August 6,
1998, the Trust sold New Life at auction to Continuum Health
Partnership, Inc. ("Continuum"), a Colorado corporation not
affiliated with the Trust or its Advisor, for $250,000 in
accordance with the terms of that certain Commercial Contract
to Buy and Sell Real Estate (the "New Life Sales Contract"), 
dated August 6, 1998.  An additional valuation reserve of 
$80,000 has accordingly been recognized as of December 31, 
1997 to give effect to the further impaired value of this 
property.  The Trust received $15,000 on August 6, 1998 as 
an earnest money deposit and part payment of the purchase
price and the Trust is scheduled to receive the remaining 
balance of $235,000 in cash at closing on August 24, 1998.
The proceeds from the sales of Country View and New Life did not 
satisfy the outstanding debt related to these facilities.

     Pursuant to separate letters of resignation, each dated
March 2, 1998, Thomas M. Clarke resigned as President, Chief
Executive Officer and Director of the Trust; Linda M. Clarke
resigned as Secretary of the Trust; John F. Lunt resigned as
Director of the Trust; and David Fancher resigned as Chief
Financial Officer of the Trust.  The remaining members of the
Board of Directors, Messrs. Grady P. Hunter, F. Dale Markham and
Charles E. Trefzger voted to accept the resignations on March 19,
1998 at a meeting of the  Board of Directors.  As a result, two
vacancies in the Board of Directors exist.

     At the same meeting of the Board of Directors, Mr. Markham
was selected to serve as Chairman, President and Chief Financial
Officer of the Trust with Joan M. Zeller to serve as Secretary of
the Trust.

     In connection with the accepted resignations, effective
March 1, 1998, the remaining members of the Board of Directors of
the Trust voted to terminate the Trust advisory contract with
Lenox Healthcare Capital Services, LLC ("Lenox").  The Trust has
entered into a two year contract for advisory services with HACG. 
The general partner of HACG is Heritage Advisory Corporation
("Heritage").  The stock of Heritage is owned by James R.
Sellers, an affiliate of BHS, the successor lessee of Bayshore.

     The Trust's continuing plan of operation for the 1998 fiscal
year (ending December 31, 1998) is as follows:  The Trust intends
to own, lease or sell (including by auction) its Properties.  To
the extent it has funds available for investment (it currently
has no such funds available and no plans for raising such funds),
it will invest primarily in healthcare related properties,
including long term care facilities, assisted living facilities,
medical office buildings, retirement housing facilities,
psychiatric hospitals and substance abuse recovery centers
through acquisitions, joint ventures and mortgage loans.  The
Trust may also invest in commercial, industrial and residential
income producing real properties through similar means.  Since
the Trust has no available funds for such investments, its
ability to undertake such investments will be dependent upon the
availability of capital to the Trust.  The Company's
mortgage notes payable matured on June 20, 1997 and the Bank
demanded payment in full by letter dated August 15, 1997.  In
that connection, the Trust and the Bank entered into
Forbearance Agreement (the "Forbearance Agreement") dated as of
April 30, 1998.

     Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Bank has agreed to
forbear from exercising its remedies until July 31, 1998.  In
consideration therefore, the Trust agreed to increase the
outstanding principal amount of a Promissory Note (Renewal and
Increase), dated as of September 20, 1992, in favor of the  Bank
from $1,000,000 to $1,681,170, a portion of the security of which
is a second mortgage on Bayshore.  The Trust agreed to waive
any defenses, offset or claims it may have as of the date of the
Forbearance Agreement against the Bank related to the outstanding
debt of the Trust to the Bank.  The  Forbearance Agreement
further required the Trust to market the Colorado Properties and
auction them by June 30, 1998, if by May 31, 1998, the Trust had
not sold or had had a binding contract on the Colorado Properties
on terms reasonably acceptable to the Trust and Bank.  The
Forbearance Agreement also contained representations of the Trust
that, among other items, it is solvent and has no present
intention of filing or acquiescing in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding.  To the extent that the Trust would so
file or acquiesce, the Trust agreed not to contest any motion of
the Bank seeking relief from an automatic stay.  Upon (i) a
breach or violation of any term covenant or condition of the
Forbearance Agreement or related documents, (ii) a material
breach or default under any of the other loan documents in
connection with the Trust indebtedness to the Bank, or (iii) any
representation or warranty or other statement contained in the
Forbearance Agreement or related documents, or any loan documents
in connection with Trust indebtedness to the Bank being false or
misleading in any material respect or omitting a material fact
necessary to make such representation, warranty or statement not
misleading, then the Bank could terminate its forbearance.  On
July 31, 1998, the Forbearance Agreement expired.

     The Trust also anticipates reviewing and evaluating other
properties for possible investment opportunities.  However, the
Trust's efforts are limited by the resources available and the
Trust's ability to raise additional resources.

                      FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT
                      ---------------------


          THIS FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and
entered into effective as of April 30, 1998, by and between 
[i] HEALTHCARE INVESTORS OF AMERICA, INC., a Maryland corporation
("HCIA"), and [ii] PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national
banking association that is successor by merger to PNC Bank,
Kentucky, Inc., a Kentucky banking corporation ("PNCKY").


                            RECITALS
                            --------

          A.   HCIA is indebted to Lender for the principal of
and accrued and unpaid interest on each of the two promissory
notes as follows:  [i] Promissory Note (Renewal and Increase)
dated as of May 4, 1990, made by HCIA (formerly known as Harbor
American Health Care Trust, Inc.) to the order of Lender (as
successor by merger to PNCKY, formerly known as Citizens Fidelity
Bank and Trust Company) in face principal amount of $3,900,000
(including any and all amendments thereto, the "1990 Note"), and
[ii] Promissory Note (Renewal and Increase) dated as of September
20, 1992, made by HCIA (formerly known as Harbor American Health
Care Trust, Inc.) to the order of Lender (as successor by merger
to PNCKY, formerly known as Citizens Fidelity Bank and Trust
Company) in face principal amount of $2,002,542.48 (including any
and all amendments thereto, the "1992 Note").

          B.   The indebtedness evidenced by the 1990 Note (the
"1990 Loan") is secured by, among other things, a first mortgage
("First Mortgage") granted by HCIA to Lender encumbering the
Bayshore Nursing Home in Dade County, Florida owned by HCIA, and
the indebtedness evidenced by the 1992 Note (the "1992 Loan") is
secured by, among other things, a second mortgage ("Second
Mortgage") granted by HCIA in favor of Lender encumbering the
Bayshore Nursing Home, together with first mortgages ("Colorado
Mortgages") encumbering properties ("Colorado Properties") owned
by HCIA located in Longmont, Colorado (the "Longmont Property")
and Greeley, Colorado (the "Greeley Property") formerly operated
as homes for mentally retarded and developmentally disabled
persons.

          C.   Both the 1990 Loan and the 1992 Loan
(collectively, the "Loans") matured on June 20, 1997, and Lender
demanded immediate payment in full of the Loans in a letter from
Lender to HCIA dated as of August 15, 1997 (the "August 15
Letter").

          D.   HCIA has requested that Lender enter into this
Agreement in order to provide HCIA time to complete the sale of
the Colorado Properties, with the proceeds of such sales to be
applied to reduce the 1992 Loan and then, if applicable, the 1990
Loan, and that in such connection Lender agree to forbear from
exercising its remedies during the period (the "Forbearance
Period") from the date of this Agreement until July 31, 1998 (the
"Termination Date"), and Lender has agreed to do so conditioned
upon the agreement of HCIA to increase the amount of the 1992
Loan secured by the Second Mortgage from $1,000,000 to
$1,681,170.45, and otherwise subject to and in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be
legally bound, it is hereby agreed as follows:

     1.   Incorporation of Recitals.  The Recitals to this
Agreement
          -------------------------
are hereby incorporated by reference as fully set forth at this
point and HCIA and Lender acknowledge those Recitals to be true
and correct.

     2.   Certain Acknowledgments and Agreements by HCIA for
          --------------------------------------------------
Lender's Benefit.  HCIA acknowledges and agrees as follows:
----------------

          A.   Each of the Loans matured on June 20, 1997, and
are due and payable in full.

          B.   The amounts of principal of, interest on and late
charges due in connection with the Loans (the principal of,
interest on and late charges due in connection with the Loans at
any particular time are referred to collectively hereinafter as
the "Indebtedness") as of April 17, 1998 are as follows:


                         Principal         Interest
                         ---------         --------

     1990 Loan           $3,086,561.64    $25,262.21

     1992 Loan           $1,681,170.45    $12,421.98


          C.   During the Forbearance Period, interest shall
continue to accrue at the respective rates provided in the Notes
(including after giving effect to any provisions contained in
either of the Notes for an increase in the rate of interest
applicable to the respective Loans following a default
thereunder, except for failure to pay the Loans on the June 20,
1997 maturity date of each) and be payable and, as applicable,
principal shall be payable, on the same corresponding dates of
each month as such interest and principal were payable prior to
the maturity date of each of the Notes, and late charges shall
continue to be payable with respect to each of the Loans if and
as applicable in accordance with the provisions of each of the
Notes.

          D.   HCIA has no defense, offset or counterclaim to the
payment of the Loans and to the other obligations of HCIA under
the 1990 Note, the 1992 Note, the First Mortgage, the Second
Mortgage, the Colorado Mortgages, or any other documents entered
into by HCIA to secure or otherwise with respect to the Loans
(collectively, the "Loan Documents"), and to the extent that any
such defenses, offsets or claims exist as of the date of this
Agreement, they are waived and released in consideration of
Lender's entering into this Agreement.

          E.   Each of this Agreement and the other documents
delivered in connection herewith (collectively, the "Forbearance
Documents") and the Loan Documents entered into by HCIA is valid
and enforceable against HCIA in accordance with the terms
thereof.

          F.   HCIA agrees to enter into such modifications of
the Second Mortgage and such other documentation as Lender
requests in order to increase the amount secured by the lien of
the Second Mortgage from $1,000,000 to $1,681,170.45 and, without
limitation of the foregoing, HCIA agrees to pay directly, or at
the option of Lender, to reimburse Lender for the payment of,
promptly upon request of Lender and, at the option of Lender, as
a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (the "Closing"), all documentary stamps and
similar taxes payable with respect to that increase.

     3.   Agreement of HCIA to sell Longmont Property and Greeley
          -------------------------------------------------------
Property.  HCIA agrees that, from and after the date of this
--------
Agreement until the Colorado Properties are sold by HCIA, HCIA
shall diligently market the Longmont Property and Greeley
Property (collectively, the "Colorado Properties") and shall
auction the Colorado Properties without reserve on or before June
30, 1998, if the same have not been sold, or a binding of
contract of sale for each on terms acceptable to Lender and HCIA
entered into, on or before May 31, 1998 for prices that are
reasonably acceptable to HCIA and Lender.  All proceeds from the
sales shall be applied to reduce, first, the 1992 Loan and then,
if any proceeds are remaining, the 1990 Loan.  Promptly following
the conveyance of each of the Colorado Properties, respectively,
and receipt by Lender of the sales proceeds for application to
the Loans as aforesaid, Lender shall release and terminate of
record the lien of the applicable Colorado Mortgage, even if the
proceeds from the sale are not sufficient to repay in full the
1992 Loan.

     4.   Forbearance by Lender.  Conditioned upon no material
          ---------------------
breach (other than the failure to repay each of the Loans on
their respective maturity dates of June 20, 1997) occurring under
any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or this
Agreement or the other Forbearance Documents, Lender agrees not
to initiate a collection action against HCIA, or to file a
foreclosure action with respect to either the Bayshore Nursing
Home or any of the Colorado Properties or any of the other
properties and assets of HCIA constituting security for any of
the Loans (collectively, the "Collateral"), or to exercise the
other remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents, at
law and in equity, to collect the Indebtedness during the
Forbearance Period.

     5.   Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall not
be
          ---------------------------
effective against Lender unless and until a counterpart of this
Agreement executed and delivered by HCIA has been received by
Lender and each of the following conditions are satisfied:

          A.   Lender shall have determined that taxes assessed
against the Bayshore Nursing Home and the Colorado Properties for
which payment is due and payable at the time of execution and
delivery of this Agreement have been paid in full.

          B.   Without limitation of Section 2.F and 5.A above,
Lender shall have received such assurances as Lender in good
faith requires, which may include an endorsement to the existing
loan policy of title insurance that insures the lien of the First
Mortgage, that no mechanics liens or other matters are of record
affecting the Bayshore Nursing Home, the Colorado Properties or
any of the other Collateral that are not permitted by the Loan
Documents.

          C.   HCIA shall have executed and delivered to Lender
the documentation required by Lender in order to increase the
amount secured by the lien of the Second Mortgage from $1,000,000
to $1,681,170.45 and HCIA shall have paid or Lender shall have
received reimbursement for the documentary stamps and similar
taxes payable with respect to that increase as provided in
Section 2.F  above.

          D.   HCIA shall have paid to Lender all fees and
expenses, including but not limited to fees and expenses of legal
counsel to Lender and costs of title searches and title premiums,
incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Second Amendment, and the other Forbearance
Documents.

          E.   Lender shall have received a copy, certified by
the corporate Secretary of HCIA as accurate and complete and in
effect as of the Closing, of resolutions of the Board of
Directors of HCIA authorizing the execution, delivery and
performance of the Forbearance Documents and, if requested by
Lender, an opinion of counsel for HCIA acceptable to Lender and
addressed to Lender confirming the due authorization, execution
and delivery by HCIA of the Forbearance Documents to which it is
a party and such other matters as Lender reasonably requests.

     6.   Defaults and Remedies.  The occurrence of any one or
more
          ---------------------
of the following shall constitute a default under this Agreement:

          A.   If any representation or warranty or other
statement of fact by HCIA contained in this Agreement or in any
writing, certificate, report or statement at any time furnished
to Lender by HCIA or any of its representatives pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Forbearance Document
or Loan Document or in connection with the Indebtedness or Loans
shall be false or misleading in any material respect or shall
omit a material fact necessary to make such representation,
warranty or statement not misleading; or

          B.   Any breach or violation by HCIA of any term,
covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other
Forbearance Document; or

          C.   The occurrence of any material breach or default
(other than the failure to repay each of the Loans on their
respective maturity dates of June 20, 1997) under any of the
other Loan Documents.

     7.   Termination; Remedies.  Following the occurrence of any
          ---------------------
default under this Agreement, and in any event upon and at any
time after the Termination Date, Lender may, at its option, at
any time, immediately terminate its obligation to forbear as
described in Section 4 of this Agreement without notice or
demand, and pursue any and all other remedies available to Lender
under this Agreement, the other Forbearance Documents and Loan
Documents, at law or in equity.  If not sooner terminated,
Lender's obligation to forbear in exercising its remedies shall
terminate automatically and without notice to or action by any
party on the Termination Date.  No receipt and retention by
Lender of any payment from or for the account of HCIA or
application by Lender of any payment to any of the Loans after
the Termination Date shall operate to reinstate the Forbearance
Period or otherwise waive or impair any rights or remedies of
Lender under this Agreement or the other Forbearance Documents or
the Loan Documents.

     8.   Bankruptcy of any of HCIA.  To induce Lender to execute
          -------------------------
this Agreement, HCIA represents that: [i] it is solvent and has
no present intention to file or acquiesce in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding at any time hereafter, [ii] the forbearance
allowed by this Agreement is sufficient for HCIA to sell the
Colorado Properties and reorganize its financial affairs success-
fully if such reorganization is reasonably possible, and if HCIA
is unable to do so prior to the Termination Date, HCIA
acknowledges that it will not have any equity in any of the
Colorado Properties or the other Collateral in excess of the
outstanding Indebtedness as of the Termination Date, or any
further realistic opportunity to successfully reorganize its
financial affairs in bankruptcy, and [iii] any bankruptcy filing
or acquiescence therein by HCIA after the Termination Date would
be, as to Lender, in bad faith and solely for the purpose of
delaying Lender in the enforcement of its rights.  Accordingly,
in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration,
including the forbearance of Lender from exercising its rights
and remedies otherwise available to it under the Loan Documents,
HCIA hereby agrees that in the event HCIA shall [w] file with any
bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or be the subject of
any petition under Title 11 of the U.S. Code as amended
("Bankruptcy Code"), [x] file or be the subject of any petition
seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under
any present or future federal or state act or law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, [y] have
sought or consented to or acquiesced in the appointment of any
trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator, or [z] be the
subject of any order, judgment or decree entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against HCIA
for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or
future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or relief for debtors, Lender shall thereupon, subject
to court approval, be entitled, and HCIA hereby agrees not to
contest, any motion by Lender for relief from any automatic stay
imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, on
or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise
available to Lender as provided in the Loan Documents, this
Agreement or as otherwise provided by law or in equity, and HCIA
hereby irrevocably waives its rights to object to such relief.

     9.   No Waiver of Remedies.  Lender expressly reserves any
and
          ---------------------
all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, the
other Forbearance Documents and the Loan Documents, at law or in
equity in the event of any default by HCIA under this Agreement. 
No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in
exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies
provided in this Agreement, the other Forbearance Documents and
the other Loan Documents (which, upon the effectiveness of this
Agreement, shall be deemed to include the Forbearance Documents
and each reference hereinafter to the Loan Documents shall be
deemed to include the Forbearance Documents) are cumulative and
not exclusive of each other and of any right or remedy provided
by law or in equity.


          Except for any notice required under applicable law to
be given in another manner, all notices, requests and demands
made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be sufficiently given if in writing (at the
addresses and phone numbers set forth below, unless the recipient
at least two Business Days prior to the giving of such notice
shall have advised the sender, in a notice given in accordance
with this Section, of a different address and/or phone number, in
which case the notice shall be addressed to such different
address and/or number) by any of the following means: (a)
personal service (including service by overnight courier
service); (b) electronic communication, whether by telex,
telegram or telecopy (if confirmed in writing sent by personal

certified, first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested.  Any notice, demand or request sent pursuant to either

(and, in the case of an electronic communication under (b) that
is not received between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the location
of the recipient on a Business Day, such communication shall be
deemed received at 9:00 a.m. on the next Business Day), but
notices given under (c) above shall be deemed given two (2) days
following deposit in the United States mails.  Any party to this
Agreement may change its address for notices by a notice to the
other given in a manner permitted under this Section.  For
purposes of this Section, "Business Day" means any day other
                           ------------
than a Saturday, Sunday, or any other day on which national or
state chartered banks located in Louisville, Kentucky are
authorized to be closed.

     8.   EVIDENCE OF TITLE.  Seller shall furnish to Buyer, at
Seller's expense, either a current commitment for owner's title
insurance policy in an amount equal to the purchase price or at
Seller's choice, an abstract of title certified to a current

insurance commitment is furnished, Buyer may require of Seller
that copies of instruments (or abstracts of instruments) listed
in the schedule of exceptions (Exceptions) in the title insurance
commitment also be furnished to Buyer at Seller's expense.  This
requirement shall pertain only to instruments shown of record in

insurance policy delivered to Buyer as soon as practicable after
closing.

     9.   TITLE.

     (a)  Title Review.  Buyer shall have the right to inspect
the Title Documents or abstract.  Written notice by Buyer of
unmerchantability of title or of any other unsatisfactory title
condition shown by the Title Documents or abstract shall be
signed by or on behalf of Buyer and given to Seller on or before
seven (7) calendar days after Title Deadline, or within five (5)
calendar days after receipt by Buyer of any Title Document(s) or
endorsement(s) adding new Exception(s) to the title commitment
together with a copy of the Title Document adding new
Exception(s) to title.  If Seller does not receive Buyer's notice
by the date(s) specified above, Buyer accepts the condition of
title as disclosed by the Title Documents as satisfactory.

     (b)  Matters Not Shown by the Public Records.  Seller shall
deliver to Buyer, on or before the Title Deadline set forth in
Section 8, true copies of all lease(s) and survey(s) in Seller's
possession pertaining to the Property and shall disclose to Buyer
all easements, liens or other title matters not shown by the
public records of which Seller has actual knowledge.  Buyer shall
have the right to inspect the Property to determine if any third
party(s) has any right in the Property not shown by the public
records (such as an unrecorded easement, unrecorded lease, or
boundary line discrepancy).  Written notice of any unsatisfactory
condition(s) disclosed by Seller or revealed by such inspection
shall be signed by or on behalf of Buyer and given to Seller on
or before July 06, 1998.  If Seller does not receive Buyer's
notice by said date, Buyer accepts title subject to such rights,
if any, of third parties of which Buyer has actual knowledge.

     (c)  Special Taxing Districts.  SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICTS MAY
BE SUBJECT TO GENERAL OBLIGATION INDEBTEDNESS THAT IS PAID BY

ARISE RESULTING IN THE INABILITY OF SUCH A DISTRICT TO DISCHARGE
SUCH INDEBTEDNESS WITHOUT SUCH AN INCREASE IN MILL LEVIES.  BUYER
SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE DEBT FINANCING REQUIREMENTS OF THE
AUTHORIZED GENERAL OBLIGATION INDEBTEDNESS OF SUCH DISTRICTS,
EXISTING MILL LEVIES OF SUCH DISTRICT SERVICING SUCH INDEBTEDNESS
AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INCREASE IN SUCH MILL LEVIES.

     In the event the Property is located within a special taxing
district and Buyer desires to terminate this contract as a
result, if written notice is given to Seller on or before the
date set forth in subsection 9(b), this contract shall then
terminate.  If Seller does not receive Buyer's notice by the date
specified above, Buyer accepts the effect of the Property's
inclusion in such special taxing district(s) and waives the right
to so terminate.

     (d)  Right to Cure.  If Seller receives notice of
unmerchantability of title or any other unsatisfactory title
condition(s) as provided in subsection (a) or (b) above, Seller
shall use reasonable effort to correct said unsatisfactory title
condition(s) prior to the date of closing.  If Seller fails to
correct said unsatisfactory title condition(s) on or before the
date of closing, this contract shall then terminate; provided,
however, Buyer may, by written notice received by Seller, on or
before closing, waive objection to said unsatisfactory title
condition(s).

     10.  INSPECTION.  Buyer or any designee, shall have the
right to have inspection(s) of the physical condition of the
Property and Inclusions, at Buyer's expense.  If written notice
of any unsatisfactory condition, signed by or on behalf of Buyer,
is not received by Seller on or before July 10, 1998 (Objection
Deadline), the physical condition of the Property and Inclusions
shall be deemed to be satisfactory to Buyer.  If such notice is
received by Seller as set forth above, and if Buyer and  Seller
have not agreed, in writing, to a settlement thereof on or before
July 15, 1998 (Resolution Deadline), this contract shall
terminate three calendar days following the Resolution Deadline;
unless, within the three calendar days, Seller receives written
notice from Buyer waiving objection to any unsatisfactory
condition.  Buyer is responsible for and shall pay for any damage
which occurs to the Property and Inclusions as a result of such
inspection.

     11.  DATE OF CLOSING.  The date of closing shall be July 24,

district and Buyer desires to terminate this contract as a
result, if written notice is given to Seller on or before the
date set forth in subsection 9(b), this contract shall then
terminate.  If Seller does not receive Buyer's notice by the date
specified above, Buyer accepts the effect of the Property's

unmerchantability of title or any other unsatisfactory title
condition(s) as provided in subsection (a) or (b) above, Seller
shall use reasonable effort to correct said unsatisfactory title
condition(s) prior to the date of closing.  If Seller fails to
correct said unsatisfactory title condition(s) on or before the
date of closing, this contract shall then terminate; provided,
however, Buyer may, by written notice received by Seller, on or
before closing, waive objection to said unsatisfactory title
condition(s).

     10.  INSPECTION.  Buyer or any designee, shall have the
right to have inspection(s) of the physical condition of the

shall be deemed to be satisfactory to Buyer.  If such notice is
received by Seller as set forth above, and if Buyer and  Seller
have not agreed, in writing, to a settlement thereof on or before
July 15, 1998 (Resolution Deadline), this contract shall
terminate three calendar days following the Resolution Deadline;
unless, within the three calendar days, Seller receives written

Note.

shall not be required to make payments otherwise required by this
paragraph if Borrower, after notice to Lender, shall in good
faith contest such obligation by, or defend enforcement of such
obligation in, legal proceedings which operate to prevent the
enforcement of the obligation or forfeiture of the Property or
any part thereof, only upon Borrower making all such contested
payments and other payments as ordered by the court to the

sufficient to pay the sums secured by this Deed of Trust as well
as any prior encumbrances on the Property.  All of the foregoing

thereof.
     In the event of loss, Borrower shall give prompt notice to
the insurance carrier and Lender.  Lender may make proof of loss
if not made promptly by Borrower.
     Insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair
of the Property damaged, provided such restoration or repair is

economically feasible or if the security of this Deed of Trust
would be impaired, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the
sums secured by this Deed of Trust, with the excess, if any, paid
to Borrower.  If the Property is abandoned by Borrower, or if
Borrower fails to respond to Lender within 30 days from the date
notice is given in accordance with paragraph 16 (Notice) by
Lender to Borrower that the insurance carrier offers to settle a
claim for insurance benefits, Lender is authorized to collect and
apply the insurance proceeds, at Lender's option, either to,
restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by
this Deed of Trust.
     Any such application of proceeds to principal shall not
extend or postpone the due date of the installments referred to
in paragraphs 4 (Payment of Principal and Interest) and 23
(Escrow Funds for Taxes and Insurance) or change the amount of
such installments.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if under paragraph 18 (Acceleration; Foreclosure; Other
Remedies) the Property is acquired by Lender, all right, title
and interest of Borrower in any to any insurance policies and in
and to the proceeds thereof resulting from damage to the Property
prior to the sale or acquisition shall pass to Lender to the
extent of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately
prior to such sale or acquisition.
     All of the rights of Borrower and Lender hereunder with
respect to insurance carriers, insurance policies and insurance
proceeds are subject to the rights of any holder of a prior deed
of trust with respect to said insurance carriers, policies and
proceeds.

shall keep the Property in good repair and shall not commit waste
or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property and shall
comply with the provisions of any lease in this Deed of Trust is

obligations under any declarations, covenants, bylaws, rules, or
other documents governing the use, ownership or occupancy of the
Property.

has exercised Borrower's rights under paragraph 6 above, if the
Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained
in this Deed of Trust, or if a default occurs in a prior lien, or
if any action or proceeding is commenced which materially affects
Lender's interest in the Property, then Lender, at Lender's
option, with notice to Borrower if required by law, may make such
appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as is
necessary to protect Lender's interest, including, but not
limited to, disbursement of reasonable attorney's fees and entry
upon the Property to make repairs.  Borrower hereby assigns to
Lender any right Borrower may have reason of any prior
encumbrance on the Property or by law or otherwise to cure any
default under said prior encumbrance.
     Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this paragraph
9, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of
Borrower secured by this Deed of Trust.  Such amounts shall be
payable upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment
thereof, and Lender may bring suit to collect any amounts so
disbursed plus interest specified in paragraph 28 (Note; Other
Obligations Secured).  Nothing contained in this paragraph 9
shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action
hereunder.
     10.  Inspection.  Lender may make or cause to be made
reasonable entries upon and inspection of the Property, provided
that Lender shall give Borrower notice prior to any such
inspection specifying reasonable cause therefore related to
Lender's interest in the Property.
     11.  Condemnation.  The proceeds of any award or claim for
damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any
condemnation or other taking of the Property, or part thereof, or
for conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned and
shall be paid to Lender as herein provided.  However, all of the
rights of Borrower and Lender hereunder with respect to such
proceeds are subject to the rights of any holder of a prior deed
of trust.
     In event of a total taking of the Property, the proceeds
shall be applied to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, with
the excess, if any, paid to Borrower.  In the event of a partial
taking of the Property, the proceeds remaining after taking out
any part of the award due any prior lien holder (net award) shall
be divided between Lender and Borrower, in the same ratio as the
amount of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately
prior to the date of taking bears to Borrower's equity in the
Property immediately prior to the date of taking.  Borrower's
equity in the Property means the fair market value of the
Property less the amount of sums secured by both this Deed of
Trust and all prior liens (except taxes) that are to receive any
of the award, all at the value immediately prior to the date of
taking.
     If the property is abandoned by Borrower, or if, after
notice by Lender to Borrower that the condemnor offers to make an
award or settle a claim for damages.  Borrower fails to respond
to Lender within 30 days after the date such notice is given,
Lender is authorized to collect and apply the proceeds, at
Lender's option, either to restoration or repair of the Property
or to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust.
     Any such application of proceeds to principal shall not
extend or postpone the due date of the installments referred to
in paragraphs 4 (Payment of Principal and Interest) and 23
(Escrow Funds for Taxes and Insurance) nor change the amount of
such installments.
     12.  Borrower Not Released.  Extension of the time for
payment or modification of amortization of the sums secured by
this Deed of Trust granted by Lender to any successor in interest
of Borrower shall not operate to release, in any manner, the
liability of the original Borrower, nor Borrower's successors in
interest, from the original terms of this Deed of Trust.  Lender
shall not be required to commence proceedings against such
successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise
modify amortization of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust by
reason of any demand made by the original Borrower nor Borrower's
successors in interest.
     13.  Forbearance by Lender Not a Waiver.  Any forbearance by
Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise
afforded by law, shall not be a waiver or preclude the exercise
of any such right or remedy.
     14.  Remedies Cumulative.  Each remedy provided in the Note
and this Deed of Trust is distinct from and cumulative to all
other rights or remedies under the Note and this Deed of Trust or
afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently,
independently or successively.
     15.  Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several
Liability; Captions.  The covenants and agreements herein
contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to,
the respective successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower,
subject to the provisions of paragraph 24 (Transfer of the
Property; Assumption).  All covenants and agreements of Borrower
shall be joint and several.  The captions and headings of the
paragraphs of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and are
not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof.
     16.  Notice.  Except for any notice required by law to be
given in another manner, (a) any notice to Borrower provided for
in this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and shall be given and
be effective upon (1) delivery to Borrower or (2) mailing such
notice by first-class U.S. mail, addressed to Borrower at
Borrower's address stated herein or at such other address as
Borrower may designate by notice to Lender as provided herein,
and (b) any notice to Lender shall be in writing and shall be
given and be effective upon (1) delivery to Lender or (2) mailing
such notice by first-class U.S. mail, to Lender's address stated
herein or to such other address as Lender may designate by notice
to Borrower as provided herein.  Any notice provided for in this
Deed of Trust shall be deemed to have been given to Borrower or
Lender when given in any manner designated herein.
     17.  Governing Law; Severability.  The Note and this Deed of
Trust shall be governed by the law of Colorado.  In the event
that any provision or clause of this Deed of Trust or the Note
conflicts with the law, such conflict shall not affect other
provisions of this Deed of Trust or the Note which can be given
effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the
provisions of the Deed of Trust and Note are declared to be
severable.
     18.  Acceleration; Foreclosure; Other Remedies.  Except as
provided in paragraph 24 (Transfer of the Property; Assumption),
upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower
in this Deed of Trust, or upon any default in a prior lien upon
the Property, (unless Borrower has exercised Borrower's rights
under paragraph 6 above), at Lender's option, all of the sums
secured by this Deed of Trust shall be immediately due and
payable (Acceleration).  To exercises this option, Lender may
invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by law. 
Lender shall be entitled to collect all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided in this Deed
of Trust, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's
fees.
     If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender shall give
written notice to Trustee of such election.  Trustee shall give
such notice to Borrower of Borrower's rights as is provided by
law.  Trustee shall record a copy of such notice as required by
law.  Trustee shall advertise the time and place of the sale of
the Property, for not less than four weeks in a newspaper of
general circulation in each county in which the Property is
situated, and shall mail copies of such notice of sale to
Borrower and other persons as prescribed by law.  After the lapse
of such time as may be required by law, Trustee, without demand
on Borrower, shall sell the Property at public auction to the
highest bidder for cash at the time and place (which may be on
the Property or any part thereof as permitted by law) in one or
more parcels as Trustee may think best and in such order as
Trustee may determine.  Lender or Lender's designee may purchase
the Property at any sale.  It shall not be obligatory upon the
purchaser at any such sale to see the application of the purchase
money.
     Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the
following order:  (a) to all reasonable costs and expenses of the
sale, including, but not limited to, reasonable Trustee's and
attorney's fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to all sums
secured by this Deed of Trust; and (c) the excess, if any, to the
person or persons legally entitled thereto.
     19.  Borrower's Right to Cure Default.  Whenever foreclosure
is commenced for nonpayment of any sums due hereunder, the owners
of the Property or parties liable hereon shall be entitled to
cure said defaults by paying all delinquent principal and
interest payments due as of the date of cure, costs, expenses,
late charges, attorney's fees and other fees all in the manner
provided by law.  Upon such payment, this Deed of Trust and the
obligations secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect
as though no Acceleration had occurred, and the foreclosure
proceedings shall be discontinued.
     20.  Assignment of Rents; Appointment of Receiver; Lender in
Possession.  As additional security hereunder, Borrower hereby
assigns to Lender the rents of the Property; however, Borrower
shall, prior to Acceleration under paragraph 18 (Acceleration;
Foreclosure; Other Remedies) or abandonment of the Property, have
the right to collect and retain such rents as they become due and
payable.
     Lender or the holder of the Trustee's certificate of
purchase shall be entitled to a receiver for the Property after
Acceleration under paragraph 18 (Acceleration; Foreclosure; Other
Remedies), and shall also be so entitled during the time covered
by foreclosure proceedings and the period of redemption, if any;
and shall be entitled thereto as a matter of right without regard
to the solvency or insolvency of Borrower or of the then owner of
the Property, and without regard to the value thereof.  Such
receiver may be appointed by any Court of competent jurisdiction
upon ex parte application and without notice -- notice being
hereby expressly waived.
     Upon Acceleration under paragraph 18 (Acceleration;
Foreclosure; Other Remedies) or abandonment of the Property,
Lender, in person, by agent or by judicially-appointed receiver,
shall be entitled to enter upon, take possession of and manage
the Property and to collect the rents of the Property including
those past due.  All rents collected by Lender or the receiver
shall be applied, first, to payment of the costs of preservation
and management of the Property, second, to payments due upon
prior liens, and then to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust. 
Lender and the receiver shall be liable to account only for those
rents actually received.
     21.  Release.  Upon payment of all sums secured by this Deed
of Trust, Lender shall cause Trustee to release this Deed of
Trust and shall produce for Trustee the Note.  Borrower shall pay
all costs of recordation and shall pay the statutory Trustee's
fees.  If Lender shall not produce the Note as aforesaid, then
Lender, upon notice in accordance with paragraph 16 (Notice) from
Borrower to Lender, shall obtain, at Lender's expense, and file
any lost instrument bond required by Trustee or pay the cost
thereof to effect the release of this Deed of Trust.
     22.  Waiver of Exemptions.  Borrower hereby waives all right
of homestead and any other exemption in the Property under state
or federal law presently existing or hereafter enacted.
     23.  Escrow Funds for Taxes and Insurance.  This paragraph
23 is not applicable if Funds as defined below are being paid
pursuant to a prior encumbrance.  Subject to applicable law,
Borrower shall pay to Lender, on each day installments of
principal and interest are payable under the Note, until the Note
is paid in full, a sum (herein referred to as "Funds") equal to
n/a of the yearly taxes and assessments which may attain priority
over this Deed of Trust, plus n/a of yearly premium installments
for Property Insurance, all as reasonably estimated initially and
from time to time by Lender on the basis of assessments and bills
and reasonable estimated thereof, taking into account any excess
Funds not used or shortages.
     The principal of the funds shall be held in a separate
account by the Lender in trust for the benefit of the Borrower
and deposited in an institution the deposits or accounts of which
are insured or guaranteed by a federal or state agency.  Lender
shall apply the Funds to pay said taxes, assessments and
insurance premiums.  Lender may not charge for so holding and
applying the Funds, analyzing said account or verifying and
compiling said assessments and bills.  Lender shall not be
required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on the Funds. 
Lender shall give to Borrower, without charge, an annual
accounting of the Funds showing credits and debits to the Funds
and the purpose for which each debit to the Funds was made.  The
Funds are pledged as additional security for the sums secured by
this Deed of Trust.
     If the amount of the Funds held by Lender shall not be
sufficient to pay taxes, assessments and insurance premiums as
they fall due, Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary
to make up the deficiency within 30 days from the date notice is
given in accordance with paragraph 16 (Notice) by Lender to
Borrower requesting payment thereof.
     Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Deed of
Trust, Lender shall simultaneously refund to Borrower any Funds
held by Lender.  If under paragraph 18 (Acceleration;
Foreclosure; Other Remedies) the Property is sold or the Property
is otherwise acquired by Lender, Lender shall apply, no later
than immediately prior to the sale of the Property or its
acquisition by Lender, whichever occurs first, any Funds held by
Lender at the time of application as a credit against the sums
secured by this Deed of Trust.
     24.  Transfer of the Property; Assumption.  The following
events shall be referred to herein as a "Transfer": (i) a
transfer or conveyance of title (or any portion thereof, legal or
equitable) of the Property (or any part thereof or interest
therein), (ii) the execution of a contract or agreement creating
a right to title (or any portion thereof, legal or equitable) in
the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein), (iii) or
an agreement granting a possessory right in the Property (or any
portion thereof), in excess of three (3) years, (iv) a sale or
transfer of, or the execution of a contract or agreement creating
a right to acquire or receive, more than fifty percent (50%) of
the controlling interest or more than fifty percent (50%) of the
beneficial interest in the Borrower, (v) the reorganization,
liquidation or dissolution of the Borrower.  Not to be included
as a Transfer are (i) the creation of a lien or encumbrance
subordinate to this Deed of Trust, (ii) the creation of a
purchase money security interest for household appliances, or
(iii) a transfer by devise, descent or by operation of the law
upon the death of a join tenant.  At the election of Lender, in
the event of each and every Transfer:
       (a)     All sums secured by this Deed of Trust shall
become immediately due and payable (Acceleration).
       (b)     If a Transfer occurs and should Lender not
exercise Lender's option pursuant to this paragraph 24 to
Accelerate, Transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
obligations of Borrower under this Deed of Trust including all
sums secured hereby whether or not the instrument evidencing such
conveyance, contract or grant expressly so provides.  This
covenant shall run with the Property and remain in full force and
effect until said sums are paid in full.   The Lender may without
notice to the Borrower deal with Transferee in the same manner as
with the Borrower with reference to said sums including the
payment or credit to Transferee of undisbursed reserve Funds on
payment in full of said sums, without in any way altering or
discharging the Borrower's liability hereunder for the
obligations hereby secured.
       (c)     Should Lender not elect to Accelerate upon the
occurrence of such Transfer then, subject to (b) above, the mere
fact of a lapse of time or the acceptance of payment subsequent
to any of such events, whether or not Lender had actual or
constructive notice of such Transfer, shall not be deemed a
waiver of Lender's right to make such election nor shall Lender
be estopped therefrom by virtue thereof.  The issuance on behalf
of the Lender of a routine statement showing the status of the
loan, whether or not Lender had actual or constructive notice of
such Transfer, shall not be a waiver or estoppel of Lender's said
rights.
     25.  Borrower's Copy.  Borrower acknowledges receipt of a
copy of the Note and of this Deed of Trust.

       C.      Lender has required Borrower to collaterally
assign the Harper Notes and Deeds of Trust to Lender as security
for the payment of PNC Notes, and in conjunction with the
execution and delivery of this Assignment Borrower is endorsing
each of the Harper Notes to the order of Lender and delivering
possession of the Notes and Deeds of Trust to Lender.

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for
other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound,
it is hereby agreed as follows:

     1.   Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to Lender all of
the right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Harper
Notes and the Deeds of Trust (collectively, the "Collateral"), as
security for the payment in full on their respective due date(s)
of all the indebtedness evidenced by each of the PNC Notes and
all of the other obligations of Borrower under any and all
security documents and other documents delivered by Borrower to
secure or otherwise pertaining to either of the PNC Notes (such
indebtedness and obligations are referred to collectively
hereinafter as the "Obligations"), and Lender is hereby vested
with all of the rights and remedies of Borrower under and with
respect to the Harper Notes, the Deeds of Trust and the
Collateral just as though Lender originally were the obligee
under the Notes and the beneficiary under the Deeds of Trust.

     2.   Borrower represents and warrants that it is the true
and lawful holder and owner of the entire interest of the obligee
under each of the Harper Notes and the Deeds of Trust, that  the
same are not subject to any offsets or defenses to all of the
rights and remedies thereunder of the holder of each of the
Harper Notes and the beneficiary under each of the Deeds of
Trust; that this Assignment does not conflict with or constitute
a breach under any of the organizational documents governing
Borrower or any agreements to which Borrower is a party or by
which Borrower is bound; that this Assignment constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation upon Borrower, enforceable in
accordance with the terms thereof ; that the outstanding
principal amount of each of the Harper Notes as of the date of
this Assignment is $100,000 and $82,500, respectively; and that
Mr. Harper is not indebted to Borrower as of the date of this
Assignment except for the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes.

     3.   Except for payments of interest under each of the
Harper Notes as the same becomes due, which, prior to any default
under any of the PNC Notes or other Obligations, may be paid to
Borrower directly and disposed of by Borrower as Borrower
determines, all payments of principal and interest and any other
sums due under any the Harper Notes shall be remitted to Lender
rather than to Borrower and Lender shall be permitted, at the
sole and exclusive option of Lender, either to retain the same as
cash collateral for the Obligations or to apply the same to
payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the PNC Notes and the
other Obligations in such order as Lender elects.  Any payments
in respect of the Harper Notes received by Borrower and not
permitted under this Section shall be and constitute a trust fund
held by Borrower for the benefit of Lender, and Borrower shall
immediately, without demand, remit each such payment to Lender
for disposition as provided above.

     4.   Borrower shall not incur any indebtedness to Mr.
Harper.  Borrower shall advise Lender immediately upon Borrower
becoming aware of any default in the payment of either of the
Harper Notes or performance of the obligations of the grantor
under either of the Deeds of Trust, and Borrower shall not waive
any such default without first obtaining on each occasion thereof
the express prior written consent of Lender (any purported waiver
without such written consent being void and of no effect). 
Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request of Lender,
with notice of the amount of indebtedness outstanding under each
of the Harper Notes, and copies of checks or other evidence of
all payments made under each of the Harper Notes.

     5.   Borrower shall maintain and preserve the Collateral
and, without limitation of the foregoing, the enforceability of
all of the provisions of the Harper Notes and the Deeds of Trust
and shall defend the same against the claims and demands of all
persons and entities.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Borrower shall not forgive or compromise or permit the
discharge (except by the payment in money thereof) of any of the
indebtedness evidenced by either of the Harper Notes, nor consent
to any amendment or modification of either of the Harper Notes or
the Deeds of Trust, without first obtaining upon each occasion
thereof the express written consent of Lender (any such purported
forgiveness, compromise, discharge or amendment without such
consent being void and of no effect).  Borrower shall not permit
any material part of the Collateral to levied upon under any
legal process.

     6.   Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as the
attorney in fact of Borrower to do all acts and things which
Lender may deem necessary or appropriate to perfect and continue
perfected and enforceable the security interests in the
Collateral granted pursuant to this Assignment, and to protect
the rights and enforce all remedies granted to Borrower pursuant
to the Harper Notes and the Deeds of Trust, including, but not in
any way limited to, the execution, filing and recording of UCC-1
and other financing statements covering the Collateral and the
bringing of actions to collect either or both of the Harper Notes
and to foreclose upon the property granted pursuant to the Deeds
of Trust, or either of them, in Borrower's name, as Borrower's
attorney in fact, wherever and whenever Lender deems appropriate. 
All fees and taxes required for or in connection with any such
filings, and all costs of enforcement of either of the Harper
Notes or the Deeds of Trust incurred by Lender, shall be paid for
by Borrower immediately upon demand of Lender and if paid by
Lender, Borrower shall provide reimbursement therefor, with
interest thereon at the highest rate in effect prior to a
default, under the PNC Notes.

     7.   Any default by Borrower under this Assignment shall
constitute a default under the PNC Notes entitling Lender to
declare all of the obligations thereunder to be immediately due
and payable in full, without demand or notice of any kind, and
Lender shall have all the rights and remedies in and against the
Harper Notes, the Deeds of Trust and otherwise as provided under
applicable law and in equity.

     8.   Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall be
under no obligation whatsoever to monitor the compliance by Mr.
Harper with the provisions of the Harper Notes or the Deeds of
Trust or to enforce any rights or remedies thereunder unless and
until Lender elects to do so.  Borrower agrees that the whole or
any part of the Collateral may be exchanged, compromised or
surrendered by Lender from time to time and that the provisions
of the Harper Notes and the Deeds of Trust may be modified,
amended or waived on one or more occasions and that Borrower
shall remain bound hereunder and under the PNC Notes and the
other Obligations notwithstanding any such actions or omissions
by Lender.  The ability of Lender to pursue its remedies under
this Assignment shall be direct and immediate and not conditional
or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Borrower
or any other person or entity or against any or all of the other
security or liens available to the Lender for the payment of the
Obligations, and Borrower hereby waives any claim to marshaling
of assets.

     9.   This Assignment constitutes the final, complete and
exclusive agreement of the parties to it with regard to its
subject matter and supercedes all prior written and oral
agreements pertaining to it, may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same Assignment, and
may not be modified or amended except pursuant to a written
agreement signed by the party charged with such amendment.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Assignment has been executed by
the parties to it on the dates indicated in the notarial certifi-
cates below but delivered effective as of the date first above
written.

by the date(s) specified above, Buyer accepts the condition of
title as disclosed by the Title Documents as satisfactory.

     (b)  MATTERS NOT SHOWN BY THE PUBLIC RECORDS.  Seller shall
deliver to Buyer, on or before the Title Deadline set forth in
Section 8, true copies of all lease(s) and survey(s) in Seller's

LEVIES.

     In the event the Property is located within a special taxing
district and Buyer desires to terminate this contract as a
result, if written notice is given to Seller on or before the
date set forth in subsection 9(b), this contract shall then
terminate.  If Seller does not receive Buyer's notice by the date
specified above, Buyer accepts the effect of the Property's

unmerchantability of title or any other unsatisfactory title
condition(s) as provided in subsection (a) or (b) above, Seller
shall use reasonable effect to correct said unsatisfactory title
condition(s) prior to the date of closing.  If Seller fails to

          in which case all payments and things of value received
          hereunder shall be forfeited and retained on behalf of
          Seller, and Seller may recover such damages as may be
          proper, or Seller may elect to treat this contract as
          being in full force and effect and Seller shall have
          the right to specific performance or damages, or both.

[X]  (2)  LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
          All payments and things of value received hereunder
          shall be forfeited by Buyer and retained on behalf of
          Seller and both parties shall thereafter be released
          from all obligations hereunder.  It is agreed that such
          payments and things of value are LIQUIDATED DAMAGES and
          (except as provided in subsection (c)) are SELLER'S
          SOLE AND ONLY REMEDY for Buyer's failure to perform the
          obligations of this contract.  Seller expressly waives
          the remedies of specific performance and additional
          damages.

any controversy regarding the earnest money and thins of value
held by broker or closing agent, unless mutual written
instructions are received by the holder of the earnest money and
things of value, broker or closing agent shall not be required to
take any action but may await any proceeding, or at broker's or
closing agent's option and sole discretion, may interplead all
parties and deposit any moneys or things of value into a court of
competent jurisdiction and shall recover court costs and
reasonable attorney fees.

     20.  ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION:  MEDIATION.  If a
dispute arises relating to this contract, and is not resolved,
the parties and broker(s) involved in such dispute (Disputants)
shall first proceed in good faith to submit the matter to
mediation.  The Disputants will jointly appoint an acceptable
mediator and will share equally in the cost of such mediation. 
In the event the entire dispute is not resolved within thirty
(30) calendar days from the date written notice requesting
mediation is sent by one Disputant to the other(s), the
mediation, unless otherwise agreed, shall terminate.  This
section shall not alter any date in this contract, unless
