ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (ALC or the Company) operate 207
assisted living residences in 17 states in the United States totaling 8,326 units as of June 30,
2007. ALCs residences average approximately 40 units and offer residents a supportive, home-like
setting and assistance with the activities of daily living.
ALC became an independent, publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange on
November 10, 2006 (the Separation Date) when ALC Class A and Class B Common Stock was distributed
to Extendicare Inc., now known as Extendicare Real Estate Investment Trust (Extendicare),
stockholders (the Separation).
Effective upon the Separation, the ownership structure of the entities changed and as such
became consolidated. All references to ALC financial statements, both pre- and post-Separation Date
are referred to as consolidated versus combined.
The consolidated financial statements of ALC represent, prior to the Separation Date, the
consolidated financial position and results of operations of the assisted living operations of
Extendicare in the United States. After the Separation Date, the consolidated financial statements
represent 178 assisted living residences operated by ALC, 177 of which comprised ALC when it was
acquired by Extendicare Health Services, Inc. (EHSI) (the Acquisition) in January of 2005, and
29 residences purchased from EHSI, a subsidiary of Extendicare, shortly before the Separation.
On June 19, 2006, ALC formed Pearson Insurance Company, LTD (Pearson), a wholly owned
Bermuda based captive insurance company to self-insure general and professional liability risks.
For periods prior to the Separation Date, the historical consolidated financial and other data
in this report have been prepared to include all of Extendicares assisted living business in the
United States, consisting of:
|
§ |
|
the assisted living residences operated by EHSI through the Separation Date, which ranged from 29 to 36 residences between January 1, 2003 and the date of the Acquisition and consisted of 32 residences operated by EHSI at December 31, 2005, |
|
|
§ |
|
177 assisted living residences operated by ALC since the time of the Acquisition, |
|
|
§ |
|
three assisted living residences that were constructed and owned by EHSI (two of which were operated by ALC) during 2005, |
|
|
§ |
|
an Escanaba, Michigan residence since its acquisition on November 1, 2006, and |
|
|
§ |
|
Pearson since its formation on June 19, 2006. |
Prior to the Separation, operations were terminated at four of the EHSI residences and are
presented as discontinued operations. At the Separation Date the historical financial statements
consisted of 209 residences.
The historical consolidated financial and other operating data prior to the Separation Date do
not contain data related to certain assets and operations that were transferred to ALC such as
share investments in Omnicare, Inc. (Omnicare), Bam Investments Corporation (BAM), and MedX
Health Corporation (MedX), or cash and other investments in Pearson, and do include certain
assets and operations that were not transferred to ALC in connection with the Separation such as
certain EHSI properties as they did not fit the targeted portfolio profile or were not readily
separable from EHSIs operations. The differences between the historical consolidated financial
data and financial data for the assets and the operations transferred in the Separation are
immaterial.
ALC operates in a single business segment with all revenues generated from those properties
located within the United States.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 pursuant to the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Operating results are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2007.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Presentation and Consolidation
Prior to November 10, 2006, the consolidated financial statements include a combination of
historical financial assets and operations of the assisted living operations of Extendicare
described in Note 1. For periods after the Separation Date the consolidated financial statements
include the 178 assisted living residences operated by ALC, the 29 residences purchased from
Extendicare, and Pearson. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. and all majority owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions with subsidiaries have been eliminated from the consolidated
financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Managements most significant
estimates include revenue recognition and valuation of accounts receivable, measurement of acquired
assets and liabilities in business combinations, valuation of assets, determination of asset
impairment, determination of self-insured liabilities for general and professional liability,
workers compensation and health and dental claims, and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
(b) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the net realizable value expected to be received from
individual residents or their responsible parties (private payers) and government assistance
programs such as Medicaid.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately 54% and 43%,
respectively, of its accounts receivable derived from private payer sources, with the balance owing
under various state Medicaid programs. Although management believes there are no credit risks
associated with government agencies other than possible funding delays, claims filed under the
Medicaid program can be denied if not properly filed prior to a statute of limitations.
The Company periodically evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts by
conducting a specific account review of amounts in excess of predefined target amounts and aging
thresholds, which vary by payer type. Allowances for uncollectibility are considered based upon the
evaluation of the circumstances for each of these specific accounts. In addition, the Company has
developed internally-determined percentages for establishing an allowance for doubtful accounts,
which are based upon historical collection trends for each payer type and age of the receivables.
Accounts receivable that the Company specifically estimates to be uncollectible, based upon the
above process, are fully reserved in the allowance for doubtful accounts until they are written off
or collected. The Company wrote off accounts receivable of $0.5 million and $0.3 million in the six
month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Bad debt expense was $0.3 million and
$0.2 million in the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
(c) Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholders
equity which under GAAP are excluded from results of operations. In the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, this consists of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale
investment securities, net of any related tax effect.

(d) Income Taxes
Prior to the Separation Date, the Companys results of operations were included in the
consolidated federal tax return of the Companys most senior U.S. parent company, Extendicare
Holdings, Inc. (EHI). Federal current and deferred income taxes payable (or receivable) were
determined as if the Company had filed its own income tax returns. As of the Separation Date, the
Company is responsible for filing its own income tax returns. In all periods presented, income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN
48), which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance
with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure
and transition. For the benefits of a tax position to be recognized, a tax position must be
more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized
is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of FIN 48 has not resulted in a transition
adjustment to retained earnings. On the date of adoption, the Company had $0.5 million of
unrecognized tax benefits. If recognized, $0.2 million would affect the effective tax rate. The
total amount of accrued interest costs and penalties related to income taxes are $0.1 million. The
Company classified the interest expense and penalties as income tax expense in the Companys
financial statements. There were no material changes in these items during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2007. Tax returns for all years after 2002 are subject to future examination
by tax authorities.
(e) New Accounting Pronouncements
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 addresses how companies should measure fair
value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition and disclosure purposes
under GAAP. SFAS No. 157 will require the fair value of an asset or liability to be based on a
market based measure which will reflect the credit risk of the company. SFAS No. 157 will also
require expanded disclosure which will include the methods and assumptions used to measure fair
value and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively
and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on
its consolidated financial statements.
(f) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior years financial statements to
conform to the current years presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on
previously reported net income or stockholders equity.

The above summary of discontinued operations includes the following:
(a) Closure and Disposition of Assisted Living Residence in Texas
In the first quarter of 2006, due to future capital needs of the residence and poor financial
performance, the Company decided to close an assisted living residence (60 units) located in San
Antonio, Texas and actively pursue the disposition of the property on the market. In the first
quarter of 2006 certain required structural costs were identified which resulted in the decision to
close the residence. As a result, the Company reclassified the financial results of this residence
to discontinued operations and recorded an impairment charge of $1.7 million.
(b) Closure of Assisted Living Residence in Washington
In the first quarter of 2006, the lease term ended for an assisted living residence (63 units)
in Edmonds, Washington, and the Company decided to terminate its operations due to poor financial
performance. The Company concluded its relationship with the landlord on April 30, 2006. As a
result, the Company reclassified the financial results of this residence to discontinued
operations. There was no gain or loss on disposition of the operations and leasehold interest.
(c) Closure of Assisted Living Residence in Oregon
In the first quarter of 2006, due to poor financial performance, the Company decided to close
an assisted living residence (45 units) in Klamath Falls, Oregon. There was no gain or loss
recorded upon the closure.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
ALC computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No.
128 requires companies to compute earnings per share under two different methods, basic and
diluted, and present per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are
presented. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, basic and diluted earnings per
share are computed using the shares outstanding as of the Separation Date. Basic earnings per share
are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common stock and outstanding common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist
of incremental shares available upon conversion of Class B common shares which are convertible into
Class A common shares at a rate of 1.075 and shares from stock options which are calculated using
the treasury-stock method. Common stock equivalents from stock options are excluded for both the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 because their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in
calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Managements 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 described or referred to in Item 1A Risk Factors in Part I of the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, 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 consolidated financial statements
and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
is organized as follows:
|
§ |
|
Business Overview. This section provides a general financial description of our business. More specifically, this section describes the sources and composition of our revenues and operating expenses. In addition, this section outlines the key performance indicators that we use to monitor and manage our business and anticipate future trends. |
|
|
§ |
|
Consolidated Results of Operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006. |
|
|
§ |
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources. This section provides a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 2007, and our expected future cash needs. |
|
|
§ |
|
Critical Accounting Policies. This section discusses accounting policies which we consider to be critical to obtain an understanding of our consolidated financial statements because their application requires significant judgment and reliance on estimations of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are those that require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application. |
Business Overview
General
Our business strategy, as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, is to grow our revenue and operating income by: |
|
|
§ |
|
increasing the overall size of our portfolio through building additional capacity to existing residences and through acquisitions; |
|
|
§ |
|
increasing our overall occupancy percentage and our percentage of revenue from private pay sources; and |
|
|
§ |
|
applying operating efficiencies and best practices achievable from owning a large number of assisted living residences. |
We are in the architectural and pre-construction phase of our previously announced expansion
project to add 400 units to existing residences and expect completion of construction in the second
quarter of 2008.
On July 20, 2007, we completed the acquisition of a newly constructed 185 unit
assisted/independent living residence in Dubuque, Iowa at a purchase price of approximately $24.0
million. At the time of purchase, the residence was approximately 47% occupied with all private
pay residents.
As a result of our decision to exit from Medicaid contracts at an accelerated rate in the
first six months of 2007, overall census in the second quarter of 2007 declined to 80.9% from 84.4%
in the second quarter of 2006 and 83.7% in the first quarter of 2007. Our decision to exit from
Medicaid contracts at an accelerated rate was 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.
The accelerated phase of our exit from traditional Medicaid programs was completed during
the second quarter of 2007. We expect to fill the resulting open units with private pay residents
over time. We no longer accept new Medicaid residents and, as a result, expect the number of units
occupied by Medicaid residents to continue to decline. In the third quarter of 2007, our reported
Medicaid census will reflect a larger decline than would result solely from natural
12
ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
attrition.
This is because we report census figures as the average number of residents over the period and
much of the reduction in the number of Medicaid units in the second quarter occurred toward the end
of the quarter. At June 30, 2007, we had 1,327 units occupied by Medicaid residents, 117 below our
reported average for the quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2007 and beyond, we expect the number
of units occupied by Medicaid residents to continue to decline but at a rate that is slower than
during the first three quarters of 2007 and, because private pay residents can no longer convert to
Medicaid, faster than the rate of reduction in 2006.
Despite the overall census decrease in the second quarter of 2007, we maintained our level of
revenues from the first quarter of 2007 and increased revenues from the corresponding quarter of
2006. This was accomplished primarily through increased private pay occupancy, rate increases and,
with respect to the first quarter of 2007, an additional day in the quarter.
Revenues
We generate revenue from private pay and Medicaid sources. For the six month periods ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, approximately 82.9% and 78.5%, respectively, of our revenue was generated
from private pay sources. Residents are charged an accommodation fee that is based on the type of
accommodation they occupy and a service fee that is based upon their assessed level of care. We
generally offer studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom accommodations. The accommodation fee is based
on prevailing market rates of similar assisted living accommodations. The service fee is based upon
periodic assessments, which include input of the resident and their physician and family and
establish the additional hours of care and service provided to the resident. We offer various
levels of care for assisted living residents who require less or more frequent and intensive care
or supervision. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, approximately 80% and 81%,
respectively, of our private pay revenue was derived from accommodation fees. For the six month
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, approximately 20% and 19%, respectively, was derived from
service fees. Both the accommodation and level of care service fees are charged on a per day basis,
pursuant to residency agreements with month-to-month terms.
Medicaid rates are generally lower than rates earned from private payers. Therefore, we
consider our private pay mix an important performance measurement indicator.
Although we intend to continue to reduce the number of units occupied by residents paying
through Medicaid, we currently provide assisted living services to Medicaid funded residents in 9
of the 17 states in which we operate. The Medicaid program in each state determines the revenue
rates for accommodations and levels of care. The basis of the Medicaid rates varies by state and in
certain states is subject to negotiation. We expect Medicaid rates to increase by approximately 1%
in the third quarter of 2007.
Residence Operations Expenses
The largest component of our residence operations expense consists of wages and benefits,
utilities and property related costs, and variable operating costs related to the provision of
services to our residents.
For all continuing residences, residence operations expense percentage consisted of the

A significant portion of our wages and benefits is fixed and does not vary based upon
occupancy, as we must employ a minimum number of employees to properly maintain our residences and
provide care and services to our residents. However, as we expand by building additional capacity
at existing residences, constructing new residences, or purchasing additional residences, we would
expect our fixed costs related to wages, utilities and property costs to increase. A smaller
portion of our wages and benefits vary because they are contingent upon occupancy, as we offer
bonus programs to all levels of staff, including residence staff, to promote common corporate
objectives including high quality of services and private pay occupancy levels. Other than these
contingent costs, directly variable costs pertain only to food, supplies, and certain
administrative expenses.

ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
General and Administrative Costs
As a result of the Separation, we now require services and incur additional costs associated
with being a public company. In addition, certain other general and administrative costs that had
been shared with Extendicare Inc. (Extendicare) since we were acquired by Extendicare Health
Services, Inc. (EHSI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extendicare, in January of 2006 (the
Acquisition), were re-established after completion of the Separation. Certain of these costs
were in place as of the Separation Date; however, quarter over quarter we anticipate additional
annual public company costs relating to the full year effect of:
|
§ |
|
board of director fees; |
|
|
§ |
|
Sarbanes-Oxley compliance: |
|
|
§ |
|
hiring additional members of the management team; |
|
|
§ |
|
stock registration and listing fees; |
|
|
§ |
|
other general and administrative costs anticipated for reporting and compliance; |
|
|
§ |
|
quarterly and annual filings; |
|
|
§ |
|
transfer agent fees; |
|
|
§ |
|
public relations; and |
|
|
§ |
|
directors and officers liability insurance. |
Subsequent to the Acquisition, certain general and administrative services were provided to us
by Extendicare. Extendicares incremental costs, and, in the case of information technologies, the
price that Extendicares related company, Virtual Care Provider Inc. (VCPI), sold services to
external clients, was charged to us. Some of these services previously provided through Extendicare
are provided directly to us by third party vendors. Pursuant to transitional services agreements
with subsidiaries of Extendicare, certain services will continue to be provided to us on a
transitional basis. These services include information technology, payroll and employee benefits
processing, and reimbursement services (Medicaid cost reporting in the state of Texas).
Key Performance Indicators
We manage our business by monitoring certain key performance indicators. We believe our most
important key performance indicators are:
Census
Census is defined as the number of units that are occupied at a given time.
Average Daily Census
Average Daily Census, or ADC, is the sum of occupied units for each day over a period of time,
divided by the number of days in that period.
Occupancy Percentage or Occupancy Rate
Occupancy is measured as the percentage of average daily census relative to the total number
of units available for occupancy in the period.
Private Pay Mix
Private pay mix is the measure of the percentage of private or non-Medicaid census. We focus
on increasing the level of private pay funded units.
Average Revenue Rate by Payer Source
The average revenue rate by each payer source represents the average daily revenues earned
from accommodation and service fees provided to private pay and Medicaid residents. The daily
revenue rate by each payer source is calculated by the dividing aggregate revenues earned by payer
type by the total ADC for its payer source in the corresponding period.
14
ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
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 or 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
companys ability to service debt and meet other payment obligations or as a common valuation
measurement in the long-term care industry. Moreover, our revolving credit facility contains
covenants in which a form of EBITDA is used as a measure of compliance, and we anticipate a form of
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. In this report, we present
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR on a consistent basis from period to period, thereby allowing
for comparability of operating performance.
Review of Key Performance Indicators
In order to compare our performance between periods, we assess the key performance indicators
for all of our continuing residences. All continuing operations or continuing residences are
defined as all residences excluding:
|
§ |
|
residences classified in the financial statements as discontinued operations, and |
|
|
§ |
|
two freestanding residences and an additional 129 assisted living units contained in skilled nursing facilities that were retained by Extendicare. |
In addition, we assess the key performance indicators for residences that we operated
in all reported periods, or same residence operations. Same residence operations are
defined as all continuing operations excluding the Escanaba, Michigan residence acquired in
November 2006.

During the second quarter and first half of 2007, total ADC decreased 3.5% and 1.7%,
respectively, while private pay ADC increased 5.9 % and 6.0%, respectively, and Medicaid ADC
decreased 27.3% and 20.7%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of 2006. These changes are
consistent with our strategy to increase the number of residents in our communities that are

and by decreasing the number of units in our residences that are available for residents who rely
on Medicaid.

During the second quarter and first half of 2007, total ADC decreased 4.1% and 2.3%,
respectively, while private pay ADC increased 5.1% and 5.2%, respectively, and Medicaid ADC
decreased 27.3% and 20.7%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of 2006. As mentioned
above, this is consistent with our strategy to increase the number of private pay residents and
decrease the number of units available to residents who rely on Medicaid.
Occupancy Percentage
Occupancy percentages are impacted by our completion and opening of new assisted living
residences, additions to existing assisted living residences, and acquisitions. As total capacity
of newly completed additions or new residences increases, occupancy percentages are impacted as the
assisted living residence is filling the additional units. After the completion of the
construction, we generally plan for additional units to take anywhere from one to one and a half
years to reach optimum occupancy levels (defined by us as at least 90%).
Due to the significant impact on occupancy rates that developmental residences have had
on historical results, we have split occupancy information between mature and developmental
residences. In general, developmental residences are defined as residences that have undergone
expansions or new residences that have opened. An assisted living residence identified as
developmental is classified as such until it reaches 90% occupancy but in no case would it be
classified as developmental for more than 12 months after completion of construction. As of June
30, 2007, we had 3 residences, totaling 153 units, classified as developmental. In the third
quarter of 2007, we expect to add 209 additional units to the developmental classification
including 185 units from the newly acquired Dubuque Retirement Community. All residences that are
not developmental are considered mature residences.
All Continuing Residences
The following table sets forth our occupancy percentages for the three and six month periods

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, we saw a decline in mature
residences occupancy percentage from 85.6% to 81.5% and 85.6% to 82.8%, respectively, from the
corresponding periods in 2006. Occupancy percentages at our developmental residences also declined
from 63.8% to 49.8% and 62.2% to 52.1% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and

ended June 30, 2007.
The decline in our total and mature occupancy percentages for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2007 is primarily due to our decision to exit from a number of Medicaid contracts in
several states. Changes in the developmental category are a function of the specific properties
that are classified in this category.

The average private pay revenue rate increased by 4.5% and 3.5% in the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The average Medicaid pay rate increased
by 4.4% and 4.0% during the same time frames. The average daily private pay revenue rate increased
primarily as a result of annual rate increases, partially offset by additional private pay
residents occupying studio accommodations and lower levels of acuity in new residents.
Historically, Medicaid residents have occupied our lower rate studio accommodations. To the extent
such accommodations became occupied by private pay residents, the average private
pay rate decreases. In addition, over time, residents acuity levels generally increase.
Because of the higher number of new residents in the first half of 2007, acuity levels were lower
in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 when compared to the same periods in 2006.

Decreased adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2007 resulted primarily from increased
residence operations expenses ($1.5 million) and increased general and administrative expense items
($1.4 million), partially offset by residence operations expenses associated with the properties
retained by Extendicare ($1.1 million), the growth in revenues discussed below ($0.4 million), and
a reduction in lease expense ($0.1 million). Increased residence operations expenses were
primarily associated with salaries and wages from inflationary factors, additional divisional staff
hired to facilitate Sarbanes Oxley 404 compliance and additional sales people primarily in Texas as
well as additional expenses to drive revenues such as new marketing materials. Increased general
and administrative expenses were primarily associated with additional payroll and other public
company charges including directors and officers liability insurance and investor relation fees.
In the second quarter of 2007, rental expense decreased by $0.1 million over the second
quarter of 2006. Other than the decrease in rental expense, adjusted EBITDAR decreased for the
same reasons as explained in adjusted EBITDA above.
In the first half of 2007, decreased adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from increased
residence operations expenses ($2.5 million) primarily associated with measures to drive additional
revenues, including new marketing materials, and additional insurance expense, increased general
and administrative expense ($2.0 million) primarily associated with additional expenses from being
a public company in 2007, and increased residence lease expense ($0.1 million), partially offset by
residence operations expense associated with properties retained by Extendicare ($2.2 million) and
the growth in revenues discussed below ($1.1 million).
In the first half of 2007, rental expense increased by $0.1 million over the first half of
2006. Other than the increase in rental expense, adjusted EBITDAR decreased for the reasons listed
in the adjusted EBITDA discussion above.

EBITDAR above for a discussion of our use of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR and a

Revenues
Revenues in the three month period ended June 30, 2007 increased $0.4 million, or 0.8%, to
$57.4 million from $57.0 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2006. Revenues increased
approximately $2.6 million due to an increase of 297 units occupied by private pay residents, $2.1
million due to private rate increases, $0.4 million due to Medicaid rate increases, and $0.2
million due to revenue from the current tenant of ALCs recently purchased corporate office which
ended June 30, 2007. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our average daily
Medicaid census of 543 units which equates to $3.2 million, $1.3 million in revenues associated
with the properties retained by Extendicare that were included only in the 2006 period, and $0.4
million in revenues associated with the amortization of below market leases from Extendicares 2005
acquisition of ALC which ended in January 2007.
Residence Operations (exclusive of deprecation, amortization and residence lease expense shown
below)
Residence operating costs increased $0.4 million, or 1.0%, in the three month period
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2006. Operating costs
decreased $1.1 million as a result of certain properties being retained by Extendicare that were
included only in the 2006 period and increased by $1.5 million as a result of normal inflationary
factors on salaries and wages, additional staff to facilitate Sarbanes Oxley 404 compliance,
additional sales people primarily in the State of Texas, and additional expenses to drive revenue
such as new marketing materials.
General and Administrative Costs
General and administrative costs increased $1.6 million, or 75.3%, in the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase is attributable
to $0.8 million of additional salaries and benefits, $0.4 million for new
public company costs such as directors and officers liability insurance and investor
relations fees, and $0.4 million of other administrative fees related to our annual conference,
travel and communication expenses.
Residence Lease expense
Residence lease expense decreased $0.1 million to $3.5 million in the three month period ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2006. This decrease resulted from
termination of an office lease in Dallas, Texas.
20
ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million to $4.3 million in the three month
period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4.2 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2006.
The increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of a residence
in Escanaba, Michigan, in November 2006 and the purchase of a new corporate office building in August 2006 and was offset by
the depreciation on two freestanding residences that were retained by Extendicare upon the
Separation.
Transaction Costs
Transaction costs related to the Separation amounted to $2.3 million in the three
months ended June 30, 2006. No costs related to the Separation were incurred in the three
month period ended June 30, 2007.
Income from operations
Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $7.6 million compared to
$7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to the reasons described above.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $1.7 million to $0.9 million in the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. The three month
period ended June 30, 2006 included $1.2 million of interest expense allocated to or charged to us
by Extendicare on intercompany debt. This debt was either paid off or forgiven in connection with
the Separation. The remaining decrease is a result of increased interest income of $0.5 million
offset by increased amortization of finance charges of $0.1 million related to the $100 million
revolving credit facility.
Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes
Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
2007 was $6.7 million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to the
reasons described above.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.6 million compared to
$2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our effective tax rate was 38.0% for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 55.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The
decrease in the effective rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was caused by the
$2.3 million in transaction costs which were nondeductible for tax purposes. Without the
transaction costs, our effective tax rate was 36.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Excluding transaction costs, the effective rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was 1.3% lower
than the effective rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 as a result of a one time
tax reduction related to a Texas tax law change.
Net Income from Continuing Operations
Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.2
million compared to net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to the
reasons described above.
Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax
There was no loss from discontinued operations in the three month period ended June 30, 2007
as all discontinued operations had either ceased or did not transfer to us upon the Separation.
The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $0.1 million in the three month period ended
June 30, 2006.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.2 million compared to net income of
$1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to the reasons described above.

Revenues
Revenues in the six month period ended June 30, 2007 increased $1.1 million, or 1.0%, to
$114.9 million from $113.8 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Revenues increased
approximately $5.2 million due to an increase in private pay occupancy of 297 residents, $3.2
million due to private rate increases, $0.7 million due to Medicaid rate increases, and $0.5
million due to revenue from the current tenant of ALCs recently purchased corporate office. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in our average daily Medicaid census of 419 residents
resulting in decreased revenue of $4.9 million, $2.8 million in revenues associated with the
properties retained by Extendicare that were included only in the 2006 period, and $0.8 million in
revenues associated with the amortization of below market leases from Extendicares 2005
acquisition of ALC which ended in January 2007.
Residence Operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization and residence lease expense shown
below)
Residence operating costs increased $0.2 million, or 0.3%, in the six month period ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Operating costs decreased $2.3
million as a result of certain properties being retained by Extendicare that were included only in
the 2006 period and increased by $2.5 million primarily due to measures taken to drive additional
revenue including new marketing materials and higher insurance expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs increased $1.9 million, or 38.2%, in the six month period
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2006. General and
administrative costs increased $1.0 million from increases in salaries and benefits and $0.7
million for new public company costs such as directors and officers liability insurance and
investor relations.
Residence Lease Expense
Residence lease expense increased $0.1 million to $7.2 million in the six month period ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2006. This increase is a result of
normal contractual adjustments in our lease agreements.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million to $8.5 million in the six month period
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $8.3 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The
increase resulted from the acquisition of a residence in Escanaba,
22
ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
Michigan, in November 2006 and the purchase of a new corporate office building in August 2006
and was offset by the depreciation on two freestanding residences that were retained by Extendicare
upon the Separation.
Transaction Costs
Transaction costs related to the Separation amounted to approximately $0.1 million and $2.3
million in the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Income from Operations
Income from operations before income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was
$16.4 million compared to $15.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 due to the
reasons described above.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $3.3 million to $2.1 million in the
six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The six
month period ended June 30, 2006 included $2.5 million of interest expense allocated to or charged
to us by Extendicare on intercompany debt. This debt was either paid off or forgiven in connection
with the Separation. The remaining decrease of $0.8 million is a result of higher interest income
partially offset by amortization of financing fees on our $100 million revolving credit facility.
Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes
Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the six month period ended June
30, 2007 was $14.4 million compared to $10.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006
due to the reasons described above.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was $5.5 million compared to
$4.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Our effective tax rate was 38.0% for the
six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to 46.1% for the six month period ended June 30,
2006. The effective tax rate decrease was primarily due to the stepped up tax basis of assets
purchased from Extendicare in connection with the Separation.
Net Income from Continuing Operations
Net income from continuing operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was
$8.9 million compared to $5.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 due to the
reasons described above.
Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax
There was no loss from discontinued operations in the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as
all discontinued operations had either ceased or did not transfer to us upon the Separation. The
loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $1.3 million in the six month period ended June
30, 2006.
Net Income
Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was $8.9 million compared to
$4.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 due to the reasons described above.
Related Party Transactions
Transactions with Extendicare and its Affiliates
Prior to the Separation, we insured certain risks with Laurier Indemnity Company, Ltd.
(Laurier), an affiliated insurance subsidiary of Extendicare and third party insurers. The
consolidated statement of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 includes
intercompany insurance premium expenses of $0.4 million and 0.5 million, respectively. After the
Separation, we discontinued paying premiums to Laurier and began coverage with Pearson.
23
ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
Prior to the Separation, we also purchased computer hardware and software support
services from VCPI. The cost of services was based on agreed upon rates that, we believe,
approximated market rates, and was $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2006. In addition, we purchased payroll and benefits, financial management
and reporting, legal, human resources and reimbursement services from EHSI. The cost was based upon
actual incremental costs of the services provided and was $0.2 million and $0.5 million in the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006. We continue to contract with Extendicare to
provide certain of these support services at rates we believe approximate market rates.
Prior to the Separation, EHSIs U.S. parent company, EHI, was responsible for all U.S.
federal tax return filings and therefore we incurred charges (payments) from (to) EHI for income
taxes. Accordingly, we had balances due to EHSI, who in turn had balances due to EHI. Advances made
and outstanding in respect of federal tax payments and other sundry working capital advances were
non-interest bearing. In connection with the Separation, or shortly thereafter, all balances due
to EHI related to U.S. federal tax return filings were settled and therefore no balances remained
at June 30, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
We had cash and cash equivalents of $34.6 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $20.0 million
at June 30, 2006. The table below sets forth a summary of the significant sources and uses of cash
for the six month periods ended June 30.

Cash flow from operating activities was $26.6 million in the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to $16.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Our working capital decreased $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
December 31, 2006, primarily from a $14.6 million increase in cash, partially offset by an $11.8
million increase in the current portion of long-term debt.
Property and equipment increased $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to December 31, 2006. Property and equipment increased $8.1 million from capital expenditures and
decreased by $7.4 million from depreciation expense.
Total debt, including both current and long-term, was $89.3 million as of June 30, 2007
compared to $90.6 million at December 31, 2006. The change in debt was the result of principal
payments of $1.1 million and amortization of a market value adjustment of $0.2 million.
Cash used in investing activities was $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Payments for new construction
projects were $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2006.
Cash used in financing activities was $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to cash used by financing activities of $14.2 million in the six months ended June
30, 2006. We repurchased 260,900 shares of Class A Common Stock at a total cost of $2.8 million
during the second quarter. The prior year period included a $14.5 million payment on an interest
bearing advance from Extendicare.
$100 Million Credit Facility
On November 10, 2006, we entered into a five year, $100 million revolving credit agreement
with General Electric Capital Corporation and other lenders. The facility is guaranteed by certain
of our subsidiaries that own approximately 64 of the residences in our portfolio and secured by a
lien against substantially all of our assets and such subsidiaries. Interest rates applicable to
funds borrowed under the facility are based, at our option, on either a base rate essentially equal
to the prime rate or LIBOR plus an amount
24
ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
that varies according to a pricing grid based on a consolidated leverage test. At June 30,
2007 this amount was 150 basis points. Under certain conditions, we may request a $50 million
increase in the facility.
There were no borrowings under the facility in 2006 or during the six month period ended June
30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants and available borrowings
under the facility were $100 million.
Debt Instruments
There were no material changes in our debt obligations from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007
and, as of the date of this report we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt
agreements.
Principal Repayment Schedule
There were no material changes in our monthly debt service payments from December
31, 2006 to June 30, 2007.
Letters of credit
As of June 30, 2007, we had $8.2 million in outstanding letters of credit, the majority
of which are secured by cash. Pearson maintains a $5.0 million letter of credit in favor of a third
party professional liability insurer. Approximately $2.2 million of the letters of credit provide
security for workers compensation insurance and the remaining $1.0 million of letters of credit
are security for landlords of leased properties. All the letters of credit are renewed annually and
have maturity dates ranging from July 2007 to January 2008.
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2007, restricted cash consists of $6.8 million of cash deposits securing
letters of credit, $1.4 million of cash deposits as security for Oregon Trust Deed Notes, and $0.1
million as security for HUD Insured Mortgages due 2036.
Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes in our contractual obligations outside of the ordinary course
of business from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2007.
Cash Management
As of June 30, 2007, we held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $34.6 million. We
monitor daily incoming cash flows and outgoing expenditures to ensure available cash is invested on
a daily basis.
Future Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our cash from operations, together with other available sources of
liquidity, including borrowings available under our $100 million revolving credit facility, will be
sufficient for the next 12 months and beyond to fund operations, expansion plans, acquisitions, our
share buyback program, anticipated capital expenditures, and required payments of principal and
interest on our debt.
Acquisitions
On July 20, 2007 we completed the acquisition of a new 185 unit assisted/independent living
residence in Dubuque, Iowa for approximately $24 million in cash.
25
ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
Capital Commitments
As of June 30, 2007, we had one construction project in progress that will increase
operational capacity by 24 units. Total costs incurred through June 30, 2007 on this project were
approximately $2.3 million and purchase commitments of $1.1 million were outstanding. The total
estimated cost of the uncompleted project is approximately $3.4 million. As of June 30, 2007, we
had other capital expenditure purchase commitments outstanding of approximately $1.5 million.
Expansion Plans
On February 27, 2007 we announced plans to add a total of 400 units onto our existing owned
residences. We expect to complete construction in the second quarter of 2008. It is expected to
take an additional 12 months to stabilize occupancy (as well as cash flow at the expanded
residences). We expect our cost to be approximately $125,000 per additional unit or a total cost
of $50 million.
Share Buyback
On December 13, 2006 our Board of Directors authorized a share buyback program of up to $20
million of our Class A Common Stock over twelve months. We may repurchase shares in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time in accordance with appropriate SEC
guidelines and regulations and subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and
other factors. As of June 30, 2007, we had purchased 260,900 shares for a total cost of $2.8
million under the share buyback program, all of which were repurchased with existing cash in the
quarter ended June 30, 2007.
From
July 1, 2007 through August 9, 2007, we repurchased an
additional 943,300 shares of its Class A Common
Stock under the share buyback program for a total cost of
$9.1 million and an average cost of $9.66
per share. The stock repurchase was financed through existing funds and borrowings under our
existing $100 million credit facility.
Accrual for Self-Insured Liabilities
At June 30, 2007, we had an accrued liability for settlement of self-insured liabilities
of $1.6 million for general and professional liability claims. We paid $0.1 million in claims in
each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The accrual for self-insured
liabilities includes estimates of the cost of both reported claims and claims incurred but not yet
reported. We estimate that $0.3 million of the total $1.6 million liability will be paid within the
next twelve months. The timing of payments is not directly within our control, and, therefore,
estimates are subject to change in the future. We believe we have provided sufficient provisions
for incurred general and professional liability claims as of June 30, 2007.
At June 30, 2007, we had an accrual for workers compensation claims of $4.0 million. Claim
payments for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $0.9 million and $0.8 million,
respectively. The timing of payments is not directly within our control, and, therefore, estimates
are subject to change in the future. We believe we have provided sufficient provisions for
workers compensation claims as of June 30, 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. For
a full discussion of our accounting policies as required by GAAP, refer to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. We consider certain accounting
policies to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements
because their application requires significant judgment and reliance on estimations of
matters that are inherently uncertain. The specific risks related to these critical
accounting policies are unchanged at the date of this report and are described in detail in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
26
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our long-term debt consisted of fixed-rate debt of
$89.3 million and $90.6 million, respectively.
We have no derivative instruments. We do not speculate using derivative instruments and
do not engage in derivative trading of any kind.
Quantitative Disclosures
There were no material changes in the principal, or notional, amounts and related
weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for our debt obligations as of June 30, 2007.
27
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. ALCs management, with the participation of ALCs Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of ALCs disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. ALCs disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by ALC in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to ALCs
management, including its Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Based on such evaluation, ALCs management, including its Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, ALCs disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in ALCs internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, ALCs internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Factors
This report and other documents or oral statements we make or made on our behalf contain both
historical and forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Forward-looking statements are predictions and generally can be identified by use of statements
that include phrases such as will believe, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, foresee,
or other words or phrases of similar import. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently
anticipated. In addition to any factors that may accompany forward-looking statements, factors that
could materially affect actual results include the following.
Factors and uncertainties facing our industry and us include:
|
§ |
|
national, regional and local competition which could cause us to lose market share and revenue; |
29
|
§ |
|
markets where overbuilding exists and future overbuilding in other markets where we
operate our residences may adversely affect our operations; |
|
|
§ |
|
our ability to cultivate new or maintain existing relationships with physicians and
others in the communities in which we operate could affect occupancy rates; |
|
|
§ |
|
events which adversely affect the ability of seniors to afford our monthly resident
fees could cause our occupancy rates, revenues and results of operations to decline; |
|
|
§ |
|
changes in the percentage of our residents that are private residents may affect our profitability; |
|
|
§ |
|
reductions in Medicaid rates could decrease our revenues; |
|
|
§ |
|
termination of our resident agreements and vacancies in the living spaces we lease
could adversely affect our revenues, earnings and occupancy levels; |
|
|
§ |
|
increases in labor costs, as a result of a shortage of qualified personnel or
otherwise, could increase operating costs; |
|
|
§ |
|
personal injury claims, if successfully made against us, could materially and
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations; |
|
|
§ |
|
failure to comply with laws and government regulation could lead to fines and
penalties; |
|
|
§ |
|
compliance with regulations may require us to make unanticipated expenditures which
could increase our costs and therefore adversely affect our earnings and financial
condition; |
|
|
§ |
|
audits and investigations under contracts with federal and state government
agencies could have adverse findings that impact our business; |
|
|
§ |
|
failure to comply with environmental laws, including laws regarding the management
of infectious medical waste, could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations; |
|
|
§ |
|
failure to comply with laws governing the transmission and privacy of health
information could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results
of operations; |
|
|
§ |
|
efforts to regulate the construction or expansion of healthcare providers could
impair our ability to expand through construction and redevelopment; |
|
|
§ |
|
acquisitions that we may make could subject us to a number of operating risks; and |
|
|
§ |
|
costs associated with capital improvements could adversely affect our profitability. |
Factors and uncertainties related to our indebtedness and lease arrangements include:
|
§ |
|
loan covenants could restrict our operations and defaults could result in the
acceleration of indebtedness or cross-defaults, any of which would negatively impact
our liquidity and inhibit our ability to grow our business and increase revenues; |
|
|
§ |
|
if we do not comply with the requirements in leases or debt agreements pertaining to
revenue bonds, we would be subject to financial penalties; |
|
|
§ |
|
our indebtedness and long-term leases could adversely affect our liquidity, our
ability to operate our business, and our ability to execute our growth strategy; and |
|
|
§ |
|
increases in market interest rates could significantly increase the costs of our
unhedged debt and lease obligations, which could adversely affect our liquidity and
earnings. |
Additional risk factors are discussed under the Risk Factors section in Item 1A of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and available through the Investor Relations section of our website,
