ALC 11.85 2.15

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. (AP) -- Senior living facility operator Assisted Living Concepts Inc. said Tuesday it agreed to by acquired by private investment firm TPG for about $280 million.

Assisted Living Concepts said TPG agreed to buy it for $12 per Class A share and $12.90 per Class B share. That comes to approximately $278.3 million in cash based on the company's most recent share count. ALC said its board has unanimously approved the sale, and so has the special committee that was reviewing the company's strategy.

Shares of Assisted Living Concepts jumped $2.18, or 22.5 percent, to $11.88 in midday trading. The stock is down 45 percent since May 10, when the company said it would delay is first-quarter report because it had found possible irregularities related to leases.

Assisted Living Concepts runs 210 facilities in 20 states. The company has been reviewing its strategy and is trying to address operational problems that have hurt its admissions. It fired CEO Laurie Bebo at the end of May and hired Dr. Charles H. "Chip" Roadman II, a former surgeon general of the U.S. Air Force, as its interim CEO.

The company also took a loss over the first nine months of the year because of legal and regulatory costs, lease termination costs, and other charges. Its revenue fell 2 percent to $171.4 million over that period.

ALC had a nice report for the 3rd quarter.

The share price is about 30% of its all time high and has a lot of room to run, although the revenue is still lagging from a couple of years ago due to the bad economy.

Sector Wrap: Assisted living center operators
Friday May 9, 3:08 pm ET
Housing slump, weak economy pressuring occupancy rates at assisted living center operators

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of most senior housing operators declined Friday, as analysts said a protracted slowdown in the residential market threatens to continue slowing growth in the sector.

As housing prices continue to fall and sales stagnate, many retirees are choosing to remain in their homes rather than sell for a meager profit or even at a loss. This has meant fewer aging baby boomers are moving into assisted living communities.

Seattle-based Emeritus Corp., which provides assisted living and Alzheimers and related dementia care services, late Thursday reported a first-quarter loss that more than doubled to $26 million, or 67 cents per share, on revenue of $186.5 million.

Analysts had expected a smaller loss of 55 cents per share on higher revenue of $191 million. The company also lowered its revenue outlook for 2008 to a range of $760 million to $775 million from prior estimates of $780 million to $795 million.

Stifel Nicolaus analyst Jerry Doctrow said Emeritus warned that move-ins remain flat in the second quarter and that expansions and development will drag on occupancy. Shares of the Seattle-based company fell $1.92, or 8 percent, to $22.10 in afternoon trading on triple average volume.

Meanwhile, Jefferies analyst Frank G. Morgan thinks Sunrise Senior Living Inc.'s preliminary quarterly results were "quite impressive," given recent industry headwinds and weak reports from other senior living providers.

"While strong rate growth was largely responsible for the increase in the top-line, occupancy was relatively stable in what has been a tough quarter for the company's peers," Morgan wrote. Sunrise said Thursday it has not seen any impact on move-in activity or attrition related to the economic slowdown, and indicated that it currently has 40 development projects under construction and another 100 under contract.

Shares of McLean, Va.-based Sunrise slipped 9 cents to $23.07.

Goldman analyst Jonathan Habermann said Brookdale Senior Living posted solid quarterly results Wednesday despite soft housing markets. But he maintained a "Neutral" rating and $24 price target on the stock, believing that Brookdale's cash flow growth may moderate slightly in the near-term due to the slowing economy and higher integration expenses in the first half of the year.

"That said, the supply and demand dynamics for senior housing remain favorable longer-term in our view and we believe that BKD is well-positioned as the largest senior housing operator," Habermann wrote in a note to clients.

Jefferies' Morgan also said Brookdale generated better-than-expected revenue in the first quarter even though occupancy remains challenging in this economic environment. With management affirming expectations for improving occupancy in the second half of the year, Morgan thinks the stock is undervalued.

He maintained a "Buy" rating and $34.50 price target. Chicago-based Brookdale Senior Living Inc. shares fell 69 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $25.17.

Dallas-based Capital Senior Living Corp. on Tuesday reported quarterly results which missed Wall Street's earnings per share forecast by a penny. The company said occupancy is seeing continued modest pressure from the broader housing market and economy, and Stifel's Doctrow notes that rents continue to increase at a higher rate than expenses.

Doctrow thinks the biggest issue for Capital Senior investors is the status of the company's pursuit of strategic alternatives now that it has agreed to add two independent directors to its board and consider a possible sale.

shares rose 12 cents to $7.89.

Shares of Menomonee Falls, Wis.-based Assisted Living Concepts Inc. fell 4 cents to $6.47, continuing a downward run sparked by the company's earnings report Monday. Assisted Living met Wall Street profit estimates for the quarter, but said occupied private pay units declined 3.2 percent from the end of the fourth quarter, and occupied Medicaid units declined 15.4 percent.

The company said it believes more and more private pay residents are now moving out of its facilities to be cared for at home by relatives due to the weaker economy, which is spurring layoffs and concerns about family budgets, rather than from a desire by private pay residents to preserve the option of switching to Medicaid in the future.

Stifel's Doctrow says Assisted Living is intentionally reducing its Medicaid census but has not yet shown the ability to refill these units with private-pay residents, a key part of the company's strategy. He kept a "Hold" rating on the stock.

Quarterly Report


Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those risks, uncertainties and assumptions described or referred to in Item 1A - Risk Factors in Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and in Part II, Item 5 - Other Information - Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Factors in this report.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Executive Overview
In the first quarter of 2008 we increased our average private pay occupancy by 412 units over the first quarter of 2007. The increase in occupied private pay units resulted from acquiring 481 occupied private pay units in the January 1, 2008 acquisition of the operations of BBLRG, LLC doing business as Cara Vita (the "Cara Vita Acquisition") and 85 occupied private pay units from the July 20, 2007 acquisition of a newly built residence in Dubuque, Iowa (the "Dubuque Acquisition" and together with the Cara Vita Acquisition, the "Acquisitions"), partially offset by a reduction in our same residence portfolio of 154 occupied private pay units. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, our private pay occupancy increased by 315 units of which 481 were attributable to the Cara Vita Acquisition, partially offset by a reduction in our same residence portfolio of 166 private pay units.
In the first quarter of 2008, we continued to reduce the number of units available to Medicaid residents. As compared to the first quarter of 2007 we reduced our occupied Medicaid units by 868 units. We exited Medicaid contracts at an accelerated pace in 2007, primarily in response to actions by the State of Texas to initiate a managed Medicaid system. Had the State of Texas not initiated managed Medicaid service agreements through third parties, we would not have allowed our traditional Medicaid contracts to lapse during the first half of 2007. Although the accelerated phase of our exit from Medicaid contracts in Texas is complete, our Medicaid census continues to decline because we no longer accept new Medicaid residents and only allow private pay residents to rollover into the Medicaid program in a very limited number of residences. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, our number of units occupied by Medicaid residents was reduced by 159 units.
We believe our strategy to reduce the number of units available to Medicaid residents has also impacted our private pay population. As discussed above, in the first quarter of 2008 we had a reduction of 154 private pay occupied units on a same residence basis. We believe this reduction largely represents private pay residents who resided in our residences with the intention of rolling into Medicaid programs. We believe our strategy to no longer allow Medicaid rollovers resulted in their accelerated move out as they relocated into residences that accept rollovers to Medicaid programs. Comparing the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2007, 186 of the reduction in private pay units occurred at residences with Medicaid contracts or where we recently ended Medicaid contracts. Over that same time period, our private pay occupancy at residences that do not accept Medicaid increased by 32 units. The reduction from these circumstances is referred to in this report as the "Private Pay Impact".
Looking at the 166 private pay unit reduction in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, the Private Pay Impact moderated with 97 of the reduction in private pay units occurring at residences with Medicaid contracts or residences where we recently ended Medicaid contracts. Over that same time period, our private pay occupancy at residences that do not accept Medicaid decreased by 69 units. During this period we continued to experience a high level of private pay resident move outs without the corresponding expected number of move-ins.
To the extent we have not been able to immediately fill vacancies with private pay residents, reducing the Medicaid population has resulted in reductions to our overall occupancy. We believe it is a necessary part of our long-term strategy to improve the overall revenue base. In the first quarters of 2008 and 2007, the average occupancy rate for all of our residences was 71.7% and 83.7%, respectively, and private pay revenues as a percent of total revenues were 90.6% and 81.4%, respectively.
Business Strategies
We plan to grow our revenue and operating income by:
† increasing the overall size of our portfolio through additions to existing residences and acquisitions;

† increasing our occupancy rate and the percentage of revenue derived from private pay sources; and

Assisted Living posts higher revenue
The Business Journal of Milwaukee

Assisted Living Concepts Inc. reported that its net income declined in the first quarter, but its revenue increased due to the acquisition of eight assisted living centers.

The Menomonee Falls assisted living center operator said net income for the quarter was $4.1 million, or 6 cents per share, compared with $4.7 million, or 7 cents per share, for the same period a year ago. Revenue increased 5 percent to $60.2 million from $57.5 million.

Net income declined because of higher amortization and depreciation expense and other expenses. Occupancy rates declined to an average of 71 percent in the first quarter, compared with 84 percent in the same period last year. However, the percentage of its revenue coming from private payers -- a more profitable resident as opposed to those covered by Medicaid -- rose to 90 percent, the firm said.

Overall revenue growth was largely driven by the acquisition of eight assisted living residences doing business as Cara Vita. The residences were 90 percent occupied with all private pay residents at the time of the $14.5 million acquisition.

As of March 31, Assisted Living Concepts (NYSE: ALC) operated 216 assisted living residences representing 9,076 units.

Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. Announces 2008 First Quarter Results; Reports Improved Mix and Margins
Monday May 5, 4:01 pm ET

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI--(MARKET WIRE)--May 5, 2008 --
Highlights:


-- Private pay mix as a percent of revenue exceeds 90%
-- Adjusted EBITDAR as a percent of revenue exceeds 30%
-- Expansion program construction begins -- on target for fourth quarter
occupancy permits


Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. ("ALC") (NYSE:ALC - News) reported net income of $4.1 million in the 2008 first quarter as compared to net income of $4.7 million in the 2007 first quarter.

Diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2008 were $0.06 per share as compared to $0.07 per share for the first quarter of 2007.

"Despite lower same store overall occupancy, we improved revenues and adjusted EBITDAR through strategic acquisitions and cost reductions due to lower Medicaid occupancy," commented Laurie Bebo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. "In addition, we are excited to announce we are in the construction phase of our expansion program and expect to begin occupying new additions by the fourth quarter of 2008. To date, costs are in line with our original estimates."

Effective January 1, 2008, ALC completed the acquisition of the operations of BBLRG, LLC doing business as Cara Vita, consisting of eight assisted living residences and a total of 541 leased residences for a purchase price (including expenses) of $14.5 million. On January 1, 2008, the Cara Vita residences had 481 occupied units, all private pay. The properties associated with the residences are leased with an initial term expiring in March 2015 with three five-year renewal options. Results of the operations of the Cara Vita residences are included in the 2008 financial data beginning January 1, 2008. ALC does not anticipate making significant operational changes at the Cara Vita residences; however, certain general and administrative expenses are expected to be managed at reduced cost.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are used in the discussions in this release in evaluating the performance of the business. See attached tables for definitions of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR, reconciliations of net income to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR, calculations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR as a percentage of total revenues and non-GAAP reconciliation information.

As of March 31, 2008, ALC operated 216 assisted living residences representing 9,076 units.

Quarters ended March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007, March 31, 2007

Revenues of $60.2 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2008,


-- increased $3.7 million or 6.6% from $56.5 million in the fourth
quarter of 2007 and
-- increased $2.7 million or 4.7% from $57.5 million in the first quarter
of 2007.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2008 was $13.3 million, 22.1% of revenues and


-- increased $0.9 million (6.8%) from $12.5 million and 22.1% of revenues
in the fourth quarter of 2007 and
-- increased $0.3 million (1.9%) from $13.1 million and decreased from
22.7% of revenues in the first quarter of 2007.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the first quarter of 2008 was $18.2 million, 30.3% of revenues and


-- increased $2.2 million (13.7%) from $16.0 million and 28.4% of
revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 and
-- increased $1.5 million (8.7%) from $16.8 million and 29.2% of revenues
in the first quarter of 2007

First quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007

Revenues in the first quarter of 2008 increased from the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily due to additional revenues from acquired residences ($4.4 million) and higher average daily revenue as a result of rate increases ($2.3 million), partially offset by a reduction in the number of units occupied by private pay residents ($1.4 million), the planned reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($1.0 million), and one less day in the 2008 quarter ($0.6 million).

Increased adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2007 resulted primarily from higher revenues as discussed above ($3.7 million) and a reduction in general and administrative expenses ($0.5 million) partially offset by increases in residence operations expenses ($2.0 million), and, for EBITDA, an increase in residence lease expense ($1.3 million). The reduction in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to decreases in salaries and benefits and non-repetitive consulting fees primarily associated with completion of work related to compliance with Sarbanes Oxley Section 404. Residence operations and residence lease expenses increased primarily from the Cara Vita acquisition, partially offset by cost reductions due to lower Medicaid occupancy.

First quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2007

Revenues in the first quarter of 2008 increased from the first quarter of 2007 primarily due to additional revenues from acquired residences ($5.1 million), higher average daily revenue as a result of rate increases ($4.0 million), and one additional day in the 2008 quarter ($0.6 million), partially offset by the planned reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($5.4 million), a reduction in the number of units occupied by private pay residents ($1.4 million), and revenue from leasing ALC's corporate office ($0.2 million) in the 2007 period only.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR increased in the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to increased revenues discussed above ($2.7 million), partially offset by an increase in residence operations expenses ($1.1 million), an increase in general and administrative expenses ($0.1 million), and, for adjusted EBITDA, an increase in rental expense ($1.2 million). Residence operations and residence lease expenses increased primarily from the Cara Vita acquisition, partially offset by cost reductions due to lower Medicaid occupancy.

Share repurchase program

On December 14, 2006, ALC announced a share repurchase program for up to $20 million of its Class A common stock. On August 20, 2007 and December 18, 2007, ALC announced that its Board of Directors authorized increases to the stock repurchase program of $20 million and $25 million, respectively, bringing the total authorization to $65 million. In the first quarter of 2008, ALC repurchased 1.5 million shares of its Class A common stock at an aggregate cost of $9.1 million and an average price of $6.01 per share. Under the share repurchase program, ALC has repurchased in the aggregate 6.2 million shares of its Class A common stock at an aggregate cost of $48.2 million and an average price of $7.77 per share.

Expansion Program Update

As of the date of this release ALC has begun construction for the expansion units in its program to add 400 units onto existing ALC residences. We are awaiting construction bids on only a few projects. To date, cost estimates have been consistent with our original estimates of $125,000 per unit. Construction is expected to be completed during the second half of 2008.

Financing Activities

As of March 31, 2008 ALC had availability of $61million under its revolving credit facility.

In general, the modifications: (i) expand the "good cause" provision for employee termination to include "fraud, dishonesty and misconduct affecting job performance," "willful violation of any material company policy," and breach of, negligence with respect to, or the failure or refusal by the executive officer to perform and discharge his or her duties, responsibilities or obligations under the agreement or as defined by the Company as reasonably determined by the board of directors in its discretion, where such breach, neglect, failure or refusal is not corrected within 30 days following written notice to the executive officer as reasonably determined by the board of directors in its discretion; (ii) change the basis under which an executive officer would have "good reason" to terminate the agreement to be either if the corporate office moves more than 50 miles or if the executive officer's base salary is reduced by 5% or more, in either instance, if the executive officer notifies the Company in writing within 30 days of the change that he or she objects to the change and the Company does not rescind the change within 30 days of receiving the executive officer's notice; and (iii) change the termination benefits that would be paid so that they would be paid to the executive officer on a salary continuance basis for 12 months (24 months in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) instead of a lump sum payout and so that one year's base salary (two years' base salary in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) and 150% (300% in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) of maximum cash bonus would be paid along with other benefits the executive officer would have received in the year (car allowance, deferred compensation, executive retirement plan, etc.)(two years in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) following termination of employment. Additionally, COBRA payments for insurance would be reimbursed to the executive officer for one year (the equivalent of two years in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) unless he or she is able to enroll in a separate group health plan under new employment.
The foregoing description of the modifications to the employment agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the employment agreements, which are included as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. Reports Annual and Fourth Quarter Results, Completes Acquisition of Cara Vita
Wednesday February 27, 9:00 am ET


MENOMONEE FALLS, WI--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 27, 2008 --
Highlights:






-- Completed the acquisition of the operations of Cara Vita on January 1,2008

-- Full year annual private pay census up 239 units or 4.7% over the proforma 2006 year

-- Fourth quarter private pay census up 115 units or 2.2% over the proforma fourth quarter of 2006

-- Achieved over 88% of fourth quarter revenue from private pay sources


Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. ("ALC") (NYSE:ALC - News) reported net income of $4.1 million in the 2007 fourth quarter as compared to net income of $4.6 million in the 2006 fourth quarter. Net income in the 2006 fourth quarter before one-time charges was $5.0 million.

ALC reported net income of $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to net income and net income from continuing operations of $9.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2006. Net income and net income from continuing operations in the year ended December 31, 2006 before one-time charges were $14.9 million and $16.4 million, respectively.

In 2006, one-time charges included transaction fees of $0.4 million and $3.9 million (net of income tax benefits of $0.3 million and $0.5 million in the fourth quarter and year, respectively) for the fourth quarter and year, respectively, and a non-cash charge of $1.9 million (net of an income tax benefit of $1.2 million) in the year. Transaction fees in 2006 related to legal, audit and other professional fees associated with the separation of ALC from Extendicare Inc., now known as Extendicare Real Estate Investment Trust (Toronto:EXE.TO - News), on November 10, 2006. The other 2006 non-cash charge related to the write-down of an impaired property identified prior to the separation.

"We have achieved an important milestone of almost 90% of our revenues being derived from private pay sources," commented Laurie Bebo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. "We continue to be optimistic with the amount of new acquisition deal flow and are pleased with the progress of integrating the operations of Cara Vita into the ALC portfolio."

Diluted earnings per common share for the 2007 and 2006 fourth quarters and 2007 and 2006 years were as follows:



Quarter ended Year ended
December 31, December 31,
2007 2006 2007 2006
------- ------- ------- -------
Diluted earnings per common share from
continuing operations $ 0.06 $ 0.07 $ 0.25 $ 0.15
Diluted earnings per common share $ 0.06 $ 0.07 $ 0.25 $ 0.13
Pro forma diluted earnings per common share
excluding one-time charges* $ 0.06 $ 0.07 $ 0.25 $ 0.23

*Includes pro forma adjustments for 2006. See attached tables for 2006 pro
forma and non-GAAP reconciliations and calculations of weighted average
basic and diluted shares.

Prior to November 10, 2006, ALC was a wholly owned subsidiary of Extendicare. The financial results reported until that time reflect the consolidated historical financial statements of the assisted living operations of Extendicare in the United States.

Certain pro forma adjustments in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006 are necessary to reflect the ongoing operations of ALC following the November 10, 2006 separation of ALC from Extendicare Inc. These adjustments remove data related to assets and liabilities that were not transferred to ALC in connection with the separation, including: (i) three assisted living facilities (168 units) that were closed in the fourth quarter of 2006 and (ii) two free-standing assisted living facilities (141 units) and another 129 assisted living units contained in skilled nursing facilities that were retained by Extendicare.

Pro forma income statement information for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006 are included for informational purposes and do not purport to reflect the results of operations ALC would have achieved had ALC operated as a separate independent company in that period. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect the additional cost of being a publicly listed company nor do they remove interest expense related to the capital structure prior to the separation.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are used in the discussions in this release in evaluating the performance of the business. See tables below for definitions of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR, reconciliations of net income to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR, calculations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR as a percentage of total revenues, and pro forma and non-GAAP reconciliation information.

As of December 31, 2007, ALC operated 208 assisted living residences representing 8,535 units. Upon completion of the acquisition of the operations of Cara Vita on January 1, 2008, ALC operates 216 assisted living residences consisting of 9,076 units.

Quarters ended December 31, 2007, September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and pro forma quarter ended December 31, 2006

Revenues of $56.5 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007,



-- decreased $1.4 million or 2.4% from $57.9 million in the third quarter
ended September 30, 2007,
-- decreased $2.1 million or 3.5% from $58.6 million in the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2006, and
-- decreased $1.6 million or 2.7% from $58.1 million in the pro forma
fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $12.5 million, 22.1% of revenues and



-- decreased $0.1 million or 1.0% from $12.6 million and increased from
21.8% of revenues in the third quarter of 2007,
-- decreased $1.3 million or 9.6% from $13.8 million and 23.6% of
revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006, and
-- decreased $1.3 million or 9.2% from $13.8 million and 23.7% of
revenues in the pro forma fourth quarter of 2006.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $16.0 million, 28.4% of revenues and



-- decreased $0.2 million or 1.0% from $16.2 million and increased from
28.0% of revenues in the third quarter of 2007,
-- decreased $1.5 million or 8.4% from $17.5 million and 29.9% of
revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006, and
-- decreased $1.4 million or 8.1% from $17.4 million and 30.1% of
revenues in the pro forma fourth quarter of 2006.

Pro forma adjustments to the fourth quarter of 2006 remove the revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDAR through November 10, 2006 associated with properties retained by Extendicare ($0.5 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively). No pro forma adjustments were necessary in the 2007 financial information.

Fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 compared to the third quarter ended September 30, 2007

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased from the third quarter of 2007 primarily due to the planned reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($1.2 million) and a decrease in the number of units occupied by private pay residents ($0.4 million), partially offset by higher average daily revenue as a result of rate increases ($0.2 million).

Decreased adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2007 resulted primarily from lower revenues as discussed above ($1.4 million) and increases in general and administrative expenses ($0.7 million), partially offset by a decrease in residence operations expenses ($1.9 million) and for EBITDA, a decrease in resident lease expense ($0.1 million). Increased general and administrative expenses primarily related to increased salaries and benefits and professional services associated with the completion of work related to compliance with Sarbanes Oxley Section 404. Decreased residence operations expenses resulted primarily from decreased payroll and benefits expense, other variable expenses associated with reduced census and favorable experience in self-insured liabilities.

Fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 compared to the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased primarily due to a decrease of 935 units occupied by Medicaid residents ($5.6 million) and the absence of revenues from properties retained by Extendicare (270 units) that were included through November 10, 2006 ($0.5 million) and from the prior tenant of ALC's corporate office ($0.4 million), partially offset by private pay rate increases ($2.9 million), higher average daily revenue as a result of an increase of 115 units occupied by private pay residents ($1.0 million), and Medicaid rate increases ($0.5 million).

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR decreased in the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily due to decreased revenues discussed above ($2.1 million) and an increase in general and administrative expenses ($0.5 million) (excludes the impact of non-cash stock compensation), partially offset by a reduction in residence operations expenses ($1.1 million) and, for adjusted EBITDA, a decrease in rental expense ($0.2 million). Increased general and administrative expenses primarily related to a full quarter of public company expenses in 2007, including expenses associated with the implementation of work related to compliance with Sarbanes Oxley Section 404. Residence operations expense decreased primarily as a result of reduced census, the absence of expenses associated with properties retained by Extendicare and favorable experience in our self-insurance programs partially offset by inflationary factors.

Fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 compared to the pro forma fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006

Revenue decreased in the fourth quarter of 2007 for the reasons discussed above in the comparison of the fourth quarter of 2007 to the fourth quarter of 2006 and because of the pro forma adjustment to revenues of $0.5 million associated with properties retained by Extendicare.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR for the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased for the reasons discussed above in the comparison of the fourth quarter of 2007 to the fourth quarter of 2006, offset by the pro forma adjustment to both adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR of $0.1 million associated with properties retained by Extendicare.

Years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and pro forma year ended December 31, 2006

Revenues in the year ended December 31, 2007 were $229.3 million and:



-- decreased $1.8 million or 0.8% from $231.1 in the year ended December
31, 2006 and
-- increased $2.7 million or 1.2% from $226.6 million in the pro forma
year ended December 31, 2006.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $50.3 million and 21.9% of revenues and:



-- decreased $2.7 million or 5.2% from $53.0 million and 22.9% of
revenues in the year ended December 31, 2006, and
-- decreased $1.9 million or 3.7% from $52.2 million and 23.0% of revenue
in the pro forma year ended December 31, 2006.

Adjusted EBITDAR for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $64.6 million and 28.2% of revenues and:



-- decreased $2.7 million or 4.0% from $67.3 million and 29.1% of
revenues in the year ended December 31, 2006, and
-- decreased $1.9 million or 2.9% from $66.5 million and 29.3% of
revenues in the pro forma year ended December 31, 2006.

Pro forma adjustments to the year ended December 31, 2006 remove the revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDAR associated with properties retained by Extendicare ($4.5 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively). No pro forma adjustments were necessary in the 2007 financial information.

Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006

Revenues decreased in 2007 primarily from a decrease in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($15.2 million), the absence of revenues associated with properties retained by Extendicare (270 units) that were included only in the 2006 period ($4.5 million), and the elimination of non-recurring revenues associated with the amortization of below market leases from Extendicare's 2005 acquisition of ALC which ended in January 2007 ($1.0 million), partially offset by private pay rate increases ($8.8 million), an increase of units occupied by private pay residents ($8.4 million), and Medicaid rate increases ($1.7 million).

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR decreased primarily because of the increase in general and administrative expenses ($2.6 million) and the decline in revenues ($1.8 million) discussed above, partially offset by decreased residence operations expenses ($1.7 million). Increased general and administrative expenses were primarily associated with additional expenses from being a public company in 2007. Decreased residence operations expenses resulted from the inclusion of properties retained by Extendicare in the 2006 residence operations expense and reduced expenses associated with lower census, partially offset by inflationary factors.

Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the pro forma year ended December 31, 2006

Revenues increased in the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the pro forma year ended December 31, 2006 because the revenue decreases discussed above in the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2007 to the year ended December 31, 2006 were more than offset by the pro forma adjustments in 2006 to revenues of $4.5 million associated with properties retained by Extendicare.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR decreased because the revenue decreases discussed above in the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2007 to the year ended December 31, 2006 were only partially offset by pro forma adjustments in 2006 to both adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR of $0.8 million associated with properties retained by Extendicare.

Share repurchase program

On December 14, 2006, ALC announced a share repurchase program for up to $20 million of its Class A common stock. On August 20, 2007 and December 18, 2007, ALC announced that its Board of Directors authorized increases to the stock repurchase program of $20 million and $25 million, respectively, bringing the total authorization to $65 million. In the fourth quarter of 2007, ALC repurchased 1.7 million shares of its Class A common stock at an aggregate cost of $11.5 and an average price of $6.85 per share. During 2007, ALC repurchased 4.7 million shares of its Class A common stock at an aggregate cost of $39.1 and an average price of $8.34 per share.

Acquisitions

Effective January 1, 2008, ALC completed its previously announced acquisition of the operations of BBLRG, LLC doing business as Cara Vita, consisting of eight assisted living residences and a total of 541 leased units for a purchase price of $14.4 million. The residences, five of which are located in Georgia, and one in each of South Carolina, Alabama and Florida, were 92% occupied with all private pay residents as of December 31, 2007. The lease has an initial term expiring in March 2015 with three five-year renewal options.

Expansion Plan Update

As of December 31, 2007, ALC had finished the design phase for most of the expansion units in its program to add 400 units onto existing ALC residences and is currently receiving construction bids on the additions.

Weighted Average Basic and Diluted Shares

The basic weighted average number of shares of common stock is based upon the number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock of ALC outstanding. For purposes of determining the diluted weighted average number of shares, the Class B shares were deemed to have been converted into Class A shares at the 1 to 1.075 conversion rate applicable to the Class B common stock. This resulted in an additional 0.7 million shares included in the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006, the basic average number of shares of common stock was determined by adding the number of outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares and the number of Multiple Voting shares of Extendicare upon completion of the separation which was equal to the number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock of ALC distributed in conjunction with the separation. For purposes of determining the diluted weighted average number of shares, the Multiple Voting Shares were deemed to have been converted into Subordinated Voting Shares at the 1 to 1.075 conversion rate applicable to the Class B common stock. This resulted in an additional 0.9 million shares included in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense net of interest income, depreciation and amortization, equity based compensation expense, transaction costs and non-cash, non-recurring gains and losses, including disposal of assets and impairment of long-lived assets and loss on refinancing and retirement of debt. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as adjusted EBITDA before rent expenses incurred for leased assisted living properties. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR as key performance indicators and adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR expressed as a percentage of total revenues as a measurement of margin.

We understand that EBITDA and EBITDAR, or derivatives thereof, are customarily used by lenders, financial and credit analysts, and many investors as a performance measure in evaluating a company's ability to service debt and meet other payment obligations or as a common valuation measurement in the long-term care industry. Moreover, ALC's revolving credit facility contains covenants in which a form of EBITDA is used as a measure of compliance, and we anticipate EBITDA will be used in covenants in any new financing arrangements that we may establish. We believe adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our core results because these measures exclude the effects of non-operating factors related to our capital assets, such as the historical cost of the assets.

We report specific line items separately, and exclude them from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR because such items are transitional in nature and would otherwise distort historical trends. In addition, we use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR to assess our operating performance and in making financing decisions. In particular, we use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR in analyzing potential acquisitions and internal expansion possibilities. Adjusted EBITDAR performance is also used in determining compensation levels for our senior executives. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. We present adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR on a consistent basis from period to period, thereby allowing for comparability of operating performance.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION



(A) To remove operations (including related depreciation and amortization) of three discontinued assisted living residences (168 units) and two free-standing Extendicare assisted living residences (141 units) and another 129 assisted living units contained within skilled nursing facilities that were not transferred to ALC. These assets and operations were included in the consolidated statements of income through November 10, 2006.

(B) To reflect the income tax effect of pro forma adjustments at applicable income tax rates.

(C) The basic weighted average shares of common stock for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2006 were determined from the number of outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares of Extendicare on November 10, 2006, the separation date, which would have approximated the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock, and the number of outstanding Multiple Voting Shares of Extendicare, which would have approximated the number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock. For purposes of determining the diluted weighted average shares, the Multiple Voting Shares were deemed to have been converted into Subordinate Voting Shares at the 1 to 1.075 conversion ratio applicable to the Class B common stock. This conversion feature resulted in an additional 0.9 million shares included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for both periods.

(D) Earnings per common share represent earnings and pro forma earnings from continuing operations before the net impact of transaction fees and impairment of long-lived assets.
