--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Commencing in March 1999 and to October 2001, Highland Capital,
Crusader and Prospect have been acquiring in the ordinary course of business in
secondary market transactions interests in bank loans (the "Loans") made to the
Issuer and The Multicare Companies, Inc., an affiliate of the Issuer. Interests
in the Loans were acquired with working capital of Highland Capital, Crusader
and Prospect. On June 22, 2000, the Issuer and The Multicare Companies, Inc.
each filed voluntary petitions with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware to
reorganize their respective capital structures under Chapter 11 of the US
Bankruptcy Code. On September 20, 2001, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware entered an order approving the Debtors' Joint Plan of
Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated July 6, 2001(as
amended, the "Plan"), subject to certain minor modifications. Effective on or
prior to October 2, 2001, the Issuer transferred to Highland Capital, Crusader
and Prospect their rights to acquire pursuant to the Plan the Common Stock and
Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer described below. On October 2, 2001,
the effective date of the Plan, the Issuer and its subsidiaries emerged from the
proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code pursuant to the terms of the
Plan. Pursuant to the Plan and as of October 2, 2001, Highland Capital, Crusader
and Prospect acquired an aggregate of (i) 2,686,056 shares of Common Stock and
(ii) Convertible Preferred Stock with a conversion price of $20.33 of
liquidation preference per share of Common Stock convertible into 147,235 shares
of Common Stock. The Preferred Stock does not entitle its holder to vote for
directors of the Issuer and may be converted at any time, at the option of its
holder. In addition, Highland Capital acquired beneficial ownership of Stock
Options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Options"). The Options
were granted under the Issuer's 2001 Stock Option Plan to Mr. Dondero, the
President of Highland Capital, who is a member of the new board of directors of
the Issuer appointed pursuant to the Plan. Mr. Dondero and Highland Capital have
an understanding pursuant to which Mr. Dondero holds the Options for the benefit
of Highland Capital. None of the Filing Persons has acquired any voting
securities of the Issuer outside of bankruptcy.

         None of the individuals listed in Item 2 herein has contributed any
funds or other consideration towards the acquisition of the securities of the
Issuer.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The foregoing acquisitions were made for investment purposes. None of
the Filing Persons or, to the knowledge of the Filing Persons, any of the
persons listed in Item 2 hereto, has any current plans or proposals which relate
to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs
(a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A director of the Issuer, Mr. Dondero, is
employed by Highland Capital and Prospect and is the President thereof. In his
capacity as director, he will participate in, and have the opportunity to vote
on, matters that are presented to the Board of Directors of the Issuer,
including sales of assets, extraordinary corporate transactions and changes to
the Issuer's capitalization, business or corporate structure.

         Depending upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation,
current and anticipated future trading prices of the Common Stock, future
changes to the composition of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the
financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and
general economic, financial market and industry conditions, the Filing Persons
may also acquire additional shares, or sell

all or part of their shares, in open market or privately negotiated transactions
or otherwise. Any open market or privately negotiated purchases or sales may be
made at any time without prior notice. Depending upon the foregoing factors and
to the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment policies, or
other factors, the Filing Persons may formulate other purposes, plans or
proposals regarding the Issuer or the shares. The foregoing is subject to change
at any time, and there can be no assurance that any of the Filing Persons will
take any of the actions set forth above. To the knowledge of each Filing Person,
each of the persons listed in Item 2 herein may make similar evaluations from
time to time or on an ongoing basis.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a) Based on the information disclosed by the Issuer in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed on December 28, 2001, there were 39,671,279 shares of
Common Stock outstanding on December 26, 2001, and 1,328,721 shares of Common
Stock yet to be issued in connection with the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, the
outstanding pre-Chapter 11 Common Stock and preferred stock was canceled and
upon implementation of the Plan, the Issuer was to issue 41,000,000 shares of
