Explanation of Response: New Generation LLC, a limited liability company wholly
owned and controlled by Mr. Jack Friedler, acquired the shares of common stock
(the "Common Stock") of Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. (the "Company")
referenced on page 1 hereof in addition to the options referenced on page 2
hereof on January 26, 2001 in a private transaction entered into by Mr. Friedler
and Mr. Harry Dermer and Ms. Mary Archambault (the "Transaction"). The total
shares of Common Stock indirectly owned by New Generation LLC as reported on
page 1 hereof includes the shares of Common Stock underlying the options
reported on page 2 hereof pursuant to Rule 16a-1 (a) (2) (ii) (F) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Transaction would not have been
reported hereunder but for Mr. Friedler's pre-existing direct ownership of
shares of Common Stock of the Company, in that the pecuniary interest held by
New Generation LLC is less than ten percent (10%).

      The figure "$0.15" denoting the price paid per option is an approximation:
A total of $17,772 was paid for the 119,567 options reported.
