NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“ALC”) operate 216 assisted and independent living residences in 20 states in the United States totaling 9,076 units as of June 30, 2008. ALC’s residences average approximately 40 to 60 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 shares of ALC Class A and Class B common stock were distributed to Extendicare Inc., now known as Extendicare Real Estate Investment Trust (“Extendicare”), stockholders (the “Separation”).
     ALC operates in a single business segment with all revenues generated from properties located within the United States.
     The accompanying unaudited condensed 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, 2008 and 2007 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 ALC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2008.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Presentation and Consolidation
     ALC’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the 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. Management’s most significant estimates include revenue recognition and valuation of accounts receivable, measurement of acquired assets and liabilities in business combinations, valuation of assets and determination of asset impairment, self-insured liabilities for general and professional liability, workers’ compensation and health and dental claims, valuation of conditional asset retirement obligations, and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ALC and all its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions with subsidiaries have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements.
(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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, ALC had approximately 71% and 60%, 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.
     ALC 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, ALC has developed internally-determined percentages for establishing an allowance for doubtful accounts, which are based upon historical collection

ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
trends for each payer type and age of the receivables. Accounts receivable that ALC 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. ALC wrote off accounts receivable of $0.4 million and $0.5 million in the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Bad debt expense was $0.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 and $0.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007.
(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. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, this consists of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment securities, net of any related tax effect.

  $ 4,284     $ 4,916     $ 7,709     $ 9,401  
 
                       
(d) Income Taxes
     Prior to the Separation Date, ALC’s results of operations were included in the consolidated federal tax return of ALC’s most senior U.S. parent company, Extendicare Holdings, Inc. (“EHI”). Federal current and deferred income taxes payable (or receivable) were determined as if ALC had filed its own income tax returns. As of the Separation Date, ALC became 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 ALC on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s 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 for ALC.
     As of June 30, 2008, ALC has total gross unrecognized tax benefits of $0.7 million compared with $0.6 million as of December 31, 2007, representing an increase of $0.1 million for the first six months of 2008. Of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits, $0.4 million, if recognized, would reduce our effective tax rate in the period of recognition. At June 30, 2008, we had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million.
     ALC and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. and in various state and local jurisdictions. At June 30, 2008, ALC is under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for the 2005 and 2006 tax years. The IRS examination of the 2004 tax return was closed in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. ALC’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance is not expected to change upon completion of the exams.

(e) New Accounting Pronouncements
     On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 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 generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 157 requires the fair value of an asset or liability to be based on a market based measure which reflects the credit risk of the company. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures including the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. ALC adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 and it has not had a material impact on ALC’s consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. ALC adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 and it has not had a material impact on ALC’s consolidated financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R was issued to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
(f) Reclassifications
     Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
3. LONG-TERM EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION PROGRAM
     Effective October 31, 2006, ALC’s Board of Directors approved and adopted and ALC’s sole stockholder approved the Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Omnibus Plan”). On May 5, 2008, the 2006 Omnibus Plan was again approved by ALC stockholders. The 2006 Omnibus Plan is administered by the Compensation/Nomination/Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) and provides for grants of a variety of incentive compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, cash incentive awards and other equity-based or equity-related awards (performance awards).
     A total of 4,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Omnibus Plan. Awards with respect to a maximum of 200,000 shares may be granted to any one participant in any fiscal year (subject to adjustment for stock distributions or stock splits). The maximum aggregate amount of cash and other property other than shares that may be paid or delivered pursuant to awards to any one participant in any fiscal year is $2 million.
     On March 30, 2007, the Committee approved the 2007 Long-Term Equity-Based Compensation Program and granted awards of tandem non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights (“Options/SARs”) to certain key employees (including executive officers) under the terms of the 2006 Omnibus Plan. The aggregate maximum number of Options/SARs granted to all participants was 380,000. The Options/SARs had an exercise price of $11.80, the closing price of the Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant, and an expiration date five years from the grant date. The Options/SARs had both time vesting and performance vesting features. On February 26, 2008 the Committee determined that the performance goals were not achieved in fiscal 2007 (related to reductions in Medicaid occupancy and maintenance of overall occupancy) and the Options/SARs expired.
     On March 29, 2008, the Committee approved the 2008 Long-Term Equity-Based Compensation Program and granted Options/SARs to certain key employees (including executive officers) under the terms of the 2006 Omnibus Plan. The aggregate maximum number of Options/SARs granted to all participants was 487,500. The Options/SARs have both time vesting and performance vesting features. If the established performance goals (related to private pay occupancy) are achieved in fiscal 2008, the Options/SARs become exercisable in one third increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Once exercisable, awards may be exercised either by purchasing shares of Class A common stock at the exercise price or exercising the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
stock appreciation right. The Committee has sole discretion to determine whether stock appreciation rights are settled in shares of Class A common stock, cash or a combination of shares of Class A common stock and cash. The Options/SARs have an exercise price of $5.89, the closing price of the Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 31, 2008, the first trading day after the grant date, and expire five years from the grant date.
     On May 5, 2008 the Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved grants of 20,000 Options/SARs to each of the eight non management directors. The aggregate number of Options/SARs granted was 160,000. The Options/SARs vest over time and are not subject to performance vesting features. The Options/SARs become exercisable in one third increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Once exercisable, awards may be exercised either by purchasing shares of Class A common stock at the exercise price or exercising the stock appreciation right. The Committee has sole discretion to determine whether stock appreciation rights are settled in shares of Class A common stock, cash or a combination of shares of Class A common stock and cash. The Options/SARs have an exercise price of $6.42, the closing price of the Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 7, 2008, the second full trading day following the May 5, 2008 release of earnings, and expire five years from the grant date.
     ALC adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”) in connection with its initial grants of Options/SARs effective March 30, 2007. A summary of Options/SARs activity as of and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is presented below.

     ALC uses the Black-Scholes option value model to estimate the fair value of stock options and similar instruments. Stock option valuation models require various assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and forfeiture rate. In estimating the fair value of the Options/SARs granted on March 29, 2008, and May 5, 2008, ALC used a risk free rate equal to the five year U.S. Treasury yield in effect on the first business date after the grant date. The expected life of the Options/SARs (five years) was estimated using expected exercise behavior of option holders. Expected volatility was based on an ALC’s Class A common stock volatility since it began trading on November 10, 2006 and ending on the date of grant. Because the Class A common stock has traded for less than the expected contractual term, an average of a peer group’s historical volatility for a period equal to the Options/SARs’ expected life, ending on the date of grant, was compared to the historical ALC volatility with no material difference. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. Because of a lack of history, the forfeiture rate was estimated at 0 percent of the Options/SARs awarded and may be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate. The Options/SARs have characteristics that are significantly different from those of traded options and changes in the various input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the Options/SARs was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions.

5. 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 to present per share data for all periods in which statements of income are presented. 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 shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. 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 Class A common shares per Class B common share. Common stock equivalents from stock options/SARs are excluded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, as their effect was not dilutive.

6. ACQUISITION
     On January 1, 2008, ALC acquired the operations of BBLRG, LLC, doing business as CaraVita, consisting of eight assisted and independent living residences and a total of 541 leased units, for a purchase price including fees and expenses of $14.8 million. The master lease has an initial term expiring in March 2015 with three five-year renewal options. ALC financed this transaction with borrowings under its $100 million credit facility. In connection with the master lease, ALC guarantees certain quarterly minimum occupancy levels and is subject to net worth, minimum capital expenditure requirements per residence, per annum and minimum fixed charge coverage ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default under the master lease. At June 30, 2008, ALC was in compliance with all covenants.
     ALC’s final allocation of fair value resulted in the following:

     The operating lease intangible will be amortized over the term of the lease excluding the final five years as the renewal is based on the then determined fair value. The resident relationship intangible will be amortized over three to four years, and the non-compete agreements will be amortized over 5 years which is the term of the non-compete agreements. Vehicles will be depreciated over four years.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE
     On December 14, 2006, the Board of Directors of ALC authorized a share repurchase program of up to $20 million of ALC’s Class A common stock. On August 20, 2007 and December 18, 2007, the Board of Directors expanded the repurchase program by an additional $20 million and $25 million, respectively, bringing the total authorized share repurchase to $65 million through December 18, 2008. Shares may be repurchased 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, 2008, 8,087,760 shares had been repurchased for a total cost of $59.5 million at an average cost of $7.36 per share (plus fees of $0.03 per share). During the second quarter of 2008, ALC purchased 1,883,000 shares at an average cost of $6.09 per share (plus fees of $.03 per share), for a total cost of $11.5 million. The stock repurchases were financed through existing funds and borrowings under ALC’s existing $100 million credit facility.
8. FINANCING AND COMMITTMENTS
     The first of three DMG Mortgage Notes payable in 2008 came due on May 1, 2008. ALC repaid the first note for $11.9 million with borrowings under the $100 million credit facility and on June 10, 2008 mortgaged three of the seven residences located in Texas which had secured the maturing debt with DMG. The new $9.0 mortgage debt bears interest at 7.07% and is due in July 2018. ALC incurred $0.2 million of closing costs which are being amortized over the ten year life of the loan. The remaining $12.5 million in DMG Mortgage Notes are due in August 2008 ($5.3 million) and in December 2008 ($7.2 million). ALC plans to refinance the maturing notes through either additional mortgages or with borrowings under the $100 million credit facility.
     Construction continues on the expansion units in our program to add 400 units to existing owned buildings. Weather issues, primarily related to heavy rains and flooding in the Midwest, have resulted in minor timing delays. We expect to complete, license, and begin accepting new residents in approximately 250 units by the end of the fourth quarter of 2008, with a targeted completion of the remaining units by the end of the first quarter of 2009. To date, cost estimates have been consistent with our original estimates of $125,000 per unit. Through June 30, ALC has spent $3.1 million and expects to spend an additional $35 to $37 million by the end of 2008. ALC plans to finance the construction through internally generated cash flow and either additional mortgages or with borrowings under the $100 million credit facility.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
     The second of three DMG Mortgage Notes payable in 2008 came due on August 1, 2008. ALC repaid the second note for $5.3 million with borrowings under the $100 million credit facility. The remaining $7.2 million in DMG Mortgage Notes are due in December 2008. ALC plans to refinance the maturing note through either additional mortgages or with borrowings under the $100 million credit facility.
     On August 6, 2008, ALC’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in its Class A common stock repurchase program by $15 million. 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. The August 6, 2008, increase brings the total authorization to $80 million through August 6, 2009. From June 30, 2008 through August 4, 2008, ALC repurchased an additional 122,900 shares at an aggregate cost of $642 thousand and an average price of $5.22 per share (plus $0.03 per share in fees). Through August 4, 2008, ALC has repurchased 8,210,660 shares of its Class A common stock at an aggregate cost of $60.2 million and an average price of $7.33 per share (plus $0.03 per share in fees) under the share repurchase program.

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 ALC’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
     Average private pay occupancy in the second quarter of 2008 increased by 189 units over the second quarter of 2007. The increase resulted from the addition of 481 occupied private pay units in the January 1, 2008 acquisition of the operations of BBLRG, LLC doing business as CaraVita (the “CaraVita Acquisition”) and 85 occupied private pay units in the July 20, 2007 acquisition of a newly built residence in Dubuque, Iowa (the “Dubuque Acquisition” and, together with the CaraVita Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”), partially offset by a reduction of a total of 377 private pay occupied units in our same residence portfolio and in the Acquisitions since their respective dates of acquisition. Average private pay occupancy in the second quarter of 2008 decreased by 150 units as compared to the first quarter of 2008.
     We continued to reduce the number of units available to Medicaid residents in the second quarter of 2008. Occupied Medicaid units decreased by 681 units in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the second quarter of 2007. In 2007, we exited Medicaid contracts at an accelerated pace, 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 overall because we no longer accept new Medicaid residents and only allow private pay residents to rollover into Medicaid programs at a very limited number of residences. Average Medicaid occupancy in the second quarter of 2008 decreased by 110 units as compared to the first quarter of 2008.
     We believe that the implementation of our strategy to reduce the number of units available to Medicaid residents has also resulted in lower private pay occupancy. We believe that the reduction in private pay occupancy over the last year largely represents private pay residents who intended to rollover from private pay into Medicaid programs. We believe our decision to no longer allow Medicaid rollovers caused certain private pay residents to move out of our residences and into other residences that continue to accept Medicaid rollovers. Comparing the second quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2007, 250 units of the 377 reduction in private pay units occurred at 119 residences that either have Medicaid contracts or where Medicaid contracts recently ended. The reduction in private pay occupancy from these circumstances is referred to in this report as the “Private Pay Impact”. Over that same time period, private pay occupancy at 97 residences that do not accept Medicaid decreased by 127 units. We believe the decrease in occupancy at these residences is largely related to recent economic conditions. Although an individual’s decision to continue to live at an assisted living residence is generally needs based, we continue to experience a high level of private pay resident move outs. We believe these move outs result largely from residents’ inability to obtain necessary funds from the sale of their homes and from an increased ability and willingness of other family members to provide care at home. The reduction in private pay occupancy from these circumstances is referred to in this report as the “Economic Impact”.
     Looking at the reduction of 150 occupied private pay units in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2008, the Private Pay Impact moderated with 18 units of the reduction occurring at residences with Medicaid contracts or residences where Medicaid contracts recently ended. Over that same time period, private pay occupancy at residences that do not accept Medicaid decreased by 132 units. We believe this reduction was largely due to the Economic Impact.
     The Private Pay Impact, Economic Impact, and planned reductions in Medicaid occupancy have resulted in reductions to our overall occupancy. We believe the reduction in Medicaid occupancy and resulting Private Pay Impact are necessary parts of our long-term strategy to improve the overall revenue base. In the second quarters of 2008 and 2007, the average occupancy rate for all of our residences was 68.8% and 80.9%, respectively, and private pay revenues as a percent of total revenues was 91.4% and 84.4%, respectively.

Business Strategies
     We plan to grow our revenue and operating income by:
  §   increasing the overall number of units in our portfolio through additions to existing residences and acquisitions of additional residences;
 
  §   increasing occupancy and the percentage of revenue derived from private pay sources; and
 
  §   applying operating efficiencies achievable from owning a large number of assisted living residences.
Increasing the overall size of our portfolio through both building additional capacity on to existing residences and acquisitions
     Construction continues on the expansion units in our program to add 400 units onto existing owned residences. Weather issues, primarily related to heavy rains and flooding in the Midwest, have resulted in minor timing delays. We expect to complete, license, and begin accepting new residents in approximately 250 units by the end of 2008, with a targeted completion of the remaining units by the end of the first quarter of 2009. To date, cost estimates have been consistent with our original estimates of $125,000 per unit. Our process of selecting buildings for expansion consisted of identifying what we believe to be our best performing buildings as determined by factors such as occupancy, strength of the local management team, private pay mix, and demographic trends for the area and then selecting those properties with suitable land for expansion.
     We plan to continue to grow our portfolio by making selective acquisitions in markets with favorable private pay demographics. In November of 2006 we acquired a fully tenanted private pay 40 unit assisted living residence in Escanaba, Michigan at a cost of approximately $4.6 million and have included this residence in our current expansion plans. On July 20, 2007, we completed the Dubuque Acquisition, a newly constructed 185 unit assisted/independent living residence in Dubuque, Iowa at a cost of approximately $24.4 million. Effective January 1, 2008, we completed the CaraVita Acquisition, consisting of eight leased assisted living residences with a total of 541 units for a purchase price including expenses of $14.8 million. The residences, five of which are located in Georgia and one in each of South Carolina, Alabama and Florida, were occupied with 481 private pay residents at the time of acquisition. The lease has an initial term expiring in March 2015 with three five-year renewal options.
Increasing our occupancy rate and the percentage of revenue derived from private pay sources
     One of our strategies is to increase the number of residents in our residences that are private pay, both by filling existing vacancies with private pay residents and by gradually decreasing the number of units that are available for residents that rely on Medicaid.
     We use a focused sales and marketing effort designed to increase demand for our services among private pay residents and establish ALC as the provider of choice for residents who value wellness and quality of care. Because of the size of our operations and the depth of our experience in the senior living industry, we believe we are able to effectively identify and maximize cost efficiencies and expand our portfolio by investing in attractive assets in our target communities. Additional regional, divisional and corporate costs associated with our growth are anticipated to be proportionate to current operating levels.
     We plan to improve our payer mix by increasing our private pay population. Specifically, through June 30, 2008, we have increased the number of units available to private pay residents by exiting Medicaid contracts at 43 of our residences, and reaching an agreement with the state of Oregon to gradually reduce the number of units available to Medicaid residents through attrition. In limited circumstances we may be required to allow residents who are private pay to remain in the residence if they later convert to Medicaid. We plan to focus on moving private pay residents into our residences. These initiatives are referred to in this report as the “Private Pay Initiatives.” To the extent we do not immediately fill vacancies with private pay residents, reducing the Medicaid population results in reductions to our overall occupancy and revenues, but is a necessary part of our long-term strategy to improve the overall revenue base. Revenues from Medicaid programs are lower than from private pay sources. Private pay rates generally exceed those offered through state Medicaid programs by 25% to 35%.
Applying operating efficiencies achievable from owning a large number of assisted living residences
     The senior living industry, and specifically the independent living and assisted living segments, are large and fragmented and characterized by many small and regional operators. According to figures available from the American Seniors Housing Association, the top five operators of senior living residences measured by total resident capacity service less than 14% of total capacity. We plan

to leverage the efficiencies of scale we have achieved through the consolidated purchasing power of our residences, our standardized operating model, and our centralized financial and management functions to lower costs at residences we may acquire.
     The remainder of this Management’s 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, including 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 to anticipate future trends.
 
  §   Consolidated Results of Operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007.
 
  §   Liquidity and Capital Resources. This section provides a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 2008, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements because their application on the part of management requires significant judgment and reliance on estimations of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Business Overview
Revenues
     We generate revenue from private pay and Medicaid sources. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 91.0% and 82.9%, respectively, of our revenues were 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 the resident’s 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, 2008 and 2007, approximately 79% and 80%, respectively, of our private pay revenue was derived from accommodation fees with the balance 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 indicator.
     Although we intend to continue to reduce the number of units occupied by residents paying through Medicaid, as of June 30, 2008, we provided assisted living services to Medicaid funded residents at 73 of the residences we operate. Medicaid programs in each state determine 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.

other operational costs related to providing services to our residents. Property related costs tend to be fixed and therefore have become a larger percentage of our overall costs due to declining occupancy.
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 dividing aggregate revenues earned by payer type by the total ADC for its payer source in the corresponding period.
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. 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 performance measures in evaluating a company’s ability to service debt and meet other payment obligations or as common valuation measurements 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 substitutes for net income, cash flows from operating activities, and other income or cash flow statement data prepared

in accordance with GAAP, or as measures 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.
     In addition, we assess the key performance indicators for residences that we operated in all reported periods, or “same residence” operations. Same residence data in this report excludes the Acquisitions.
ADC
All Continuing Residences
     The following table sets forth our average daily census (“ADC”) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for both private pay and Medicaid residents for all of the continuing residences whose results are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

     During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, total ADC on an all continuing residences basis decreased 7.3% and 6.9%, respectively, while private pay ADC increased 3.6% and 5.7%, and Medicaid ADC decreased 47.2% and 48.6%, from the corresponding periods of 2007. Increased private pay census resulted from the Acquisitions, partially offset by the Economic Impact and the Private Pay Impact. Medicaid census reductions are consistent with our strategy to decrease the number of units in our residences that are available for residents who rely on Medicaid.
Same Residence Basis
     The following table is presented on a same residence basis, and therefore removes 566 residents added through the Acquisitions. Changes in occupancy at the Acquisitions since the respective dates of acquisition are included. The table sets forth our average daily census for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for both private and Medicaid payers for all continuing residences on a same residence basis.

     During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, total ADC on a same residence basis decreased 15.7% and 15.2%, while private pay ADC decreased 7.1% and 5.0%, and Medicaid ADC decreased 47.2% and 48.6% from the corresponding periods of 2007. Private pay census decreases were primarily due to the Economic Impact and the Private Pay Impact. Same residence statistics for Medicaid residents changed for the same reasons discussed above for all continuing residences.

Occupancy Percentage
     Occupancy percentages are impacted by our completion and opening of new residences and additions to existing residences. As total capacity of a newly completed addition or a new residence increases, occupancy percentages are impacted as the 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 impact on occupancy rates that developmental units have on historical results, we split occupancy information between mature and developmental units. In general, developmental units are defined as the additional units in a residence that has undergone an expansion or in a new residence that has opened. New units identified as developmental are classified as such for a period of no longer than 12 months after completion of construction. Between January 1, 2006 and June 30, 2008, we completed the following projects that increased our operational capacity: (1) 2006 — two additions (37 units) and one acquisition (40 units), (2) 2007— two additions (48 units) and the Dubuque Acquisition and (3) 2008 — the CaraVita Acquisition. The 2006 acquisition and the 2008 CaraVita Acquisition are being classified as mature as they were at least 90% occupied on the date of acquisition. As a result, these units (except for the 2006 acquisition and 2008 CaraVita Acquisition) constitute the “developmental” units in the tables below. All units that are not developmental are considered mature units.
All Continuing Residences
     The following table sets forth our occupancy percentages for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for all mature and developmental continuing residences whose results are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

     For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, we saw a decline in mature residences occupancy percentage from 81.5% to 69.3% and from 82.8% to 70.9%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of 2007. Occupancy in our developmental residences decreased in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, from the corresponding periods of 2007 from 49.8% to 48.7% and from 52.1% to 43.6%, respectively.
     Occupancy percentages for all residences decreased from 80.9% to 68.8% in the three month period ended June 30, 2008, and from 82.3% to 70.2% in the six month period ended June 30, 2008, from the respective corresponding periods of 2007.
     The declines in our occupancy percentage for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 are primarily due to our continuing focused effort to reduce the number of units available for Medicaid residents, the Economic Impact and the Private Pay Impact. Changes in the developmental category are a function of the small number of units and specific residences classified in this category.
Same Residence Basis
     The following table sets forth the occupancy percentages outlined above on a same residence basis for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Occupancy in our developmental properties increased in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to June 30, 2007 from 49.8% to 70.2%. In the comparable six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, occupancy at our development properties decreased from 52.1% to 34.0%.
     Occupancy percentages for all residences decreased from 80.9% and 82.3% in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 to 68.0% and 69.6% in the comparable periods of 2008.
     The declines in our occupancy percentage for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 were primarily due to our continuing focused effort to reduce the number of units available for Medicaid residents, the Economic Impact and the Private Pay Impact. Changes in the developmental category are a function of the small number of units and specific residences classified in this category.
Average Revenue Rate by Payer Source
All Continuing Residences
     The following table sets forth our average daily revenue rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for both private pay and Medicaid payers for all continuing residences whose results are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

     The average private pay revenue rate increased by 5.8% and 6.6% in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 from the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. The average Medicaid pay rate increased by 6.3% and 5.5% during the same time frame. The average daily private pay revenue rate increased primarily as a result of annual rate increases for both accommodations and services. Overall Medicaid rates increased as a result of exiting Medicaid contracts in states with historically lower reimbursement rates.

     Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR increased in the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to increased revenues discussed above ($0.4 million), a decrease in residence operations expenses ($1.2 million), and a decrease in general and administrative expenses ($0.7 million), and, for adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by an increase in rental expense ($1.5 million). Residence operations expenses decreased primarily from a reduction in labor expense associated with lower occupancy, partially offset by additional expenses from acquisitions. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily from a change in timing of

our all-company annual conference, which occurred in the second quarter of 2007 and will take place in the third quarter of 2008, and a reduction in information technology fees resulting from internalizing information technology functions. Residence lease expenses increased primarily from the January 1, 2008 acquisition of the operations of BBLRG, LLC, doing business as CaraVita.
     Increased adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR in the first six months of 2008 as compared to the first six months of 2007 resulted primarily from higher revenues as discussed above ($3.2 million) and a reduction in general and administrative expenses ($0.8 million) and, for EBITDA, an increase in residence lease expense ($2.8 million). General and administrative expenses decreased primarily from a change in timing of our all-company annual conference which occurred in the second quarter of 2007 and will take place in the third quarter of 2008, and a reduction in information technology fees resulting from internalizing information technology functions. Residence operations and residence lease expenses increased primarily from the CaraVita Acquisition, offset by labor expense and cost reductions associated with the decline in occupancy.

Revenues
     Revenues in the second quarter of 2008 increased from the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to additional revenues from acquired residences ($4.9 million) and higher average daily revenue as a result of rate increases ($3.3 million), partially offset by the planned reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($4.2 million), a reduction in the number of units occupied by private pay residents ($3.3 million), and revenue from leasing ALC’s corporate office ($0.3 million) in the 2007 period only.
Residence Operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization and residence lease expense shown below)
     Residence operating costs decreased $1.2 million, or 3.1%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Residence operating costs increased approximately $3.1 million as a result of the Acquisitions, but were offset by reductions of $2.7 million in payroll and benefits costs, $0.7 million in food costs, $0.2 million in insurance costs, $0.5 million in administrative costs and $0.2 million in other costs.
General and Administrative
     General and administrative costs decreased $0.8 million, or 22.1%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2007. General and administrative costs decreased $0.5 million in the second quarter because the 2007 all-company annual conference was held in the second quarter of 2007 and the 2008 all-company annual conference will be held in the third quarter of 2008. Other decreases include a $0.2 million reduction in information technology fees resulting from internalizing information technology functions and reduced communications expense of $0.1 million.

Residence Lease Expense
     Residence lease expense increased $1.5 million to $5.0 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Lease expense increased approximately $1.4 million from the CaraVita Acquisition.
Depreciation and Amortization
     Depreciation and amortization was $4.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 and was unchanged from the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Amortization expense decreased $0.3 million because the resident relationship intangibles that resulted from the 2005 acquisition of ALC became fully amortized in January 2008. Depreciation increased $0.3 million from two additions that were completed during 2007, the Dubuque Acquisition in July 2007, and from general capital expenditures across our portfolio.
Income from Operations
     Income from operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was $8.5 million compared to $7.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 due to the reasons described above.
Interest Income
     Interest income decreased $0.3 million to $0.3 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was due to lower interest rates on invested cash and decreased cash available for investment.
Interest expense
     Interest expense increased $0.4 million to $1.9 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to borrowings on our $100 million credit facility to fund the Acquisitions and the repurchase of shares of our Class A common stock.
Income before Income Taxes
     Income before income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was $6.9 million compared to $6.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 due to the reasons described above.
Income Tax Expense
     Income tax expense for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2.6 million. Our effective tax rate was 38.0% for both the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Net Income
     Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was $4.3 million compared to $4.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 due to the reasons described above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
     The following table sets forth details of our revenues and income as a percentage of total revenues for the six month periods ended June 30.

     Revenues in the first six months of 2008 increased from the first six months of 2007 primarily due to additional revenues from acquired residences ($10.1 million), higher average daily revenue as a result of rate increases ($7.3 million), and one additional day in the 2008 period due to leap year ($0.6 million), partially offset by a reduction in the number of units occupied by private pay residents ($4.7 million), the planned reduction in the number of units occupied by Medicaid residents ($9.6 million), and revenue from leasing ALC’s corporate office ($0.5 million) in the 2007 period only.
Residence Operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization and residence lease expense shown below)
     Residence operating costs decreased $32,000, or 0.0%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Residence operating costs increased approximately $6.2 million as a result of the Acquisitions, but were offset by decreases of $3.6 million in salaries and benefits, $1.1 million in food costs, $0.5 million in insurance costs, $0.8 million in administrative costs, and $0.2 million in other costs.
General and Administrative
     General and administrative costs decreased $0.7 million, or 10.9%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2007. General and administrative costs decreased $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 because the 2007 all-company annual conference was held in the second quarter of 2007 and the 2008 all-company annual conference will be held in the third quarter of 2008. Other decreases include a $0.4 million reduction in information technology fees resulting from internalizing information technology and reduced communications expense of $0.2 million. These decreases were offset by $0.2 million in increased salaries and benefit costs and additional legal expenses of $0.2 million.
Residence Lease Expense
     Residence lease expense increased $2.7 million to $9.9 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Lease expense increased approximately $2.7 million from the CaraVita Acquisition.
Depreciation and Amortization
     Depreciation and amortization increased $0.7 million to $9.2 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $8.5 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Amortization expense increased $0.8 million from the Acquisitions and was offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in resident relationship intangible amortization that resulted from the 2005 acquisition of ALC that became fully amortized in January 2008. Depreciation increased $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in depreciation expense resulted from two additions that were completed during 2007, the Dubuque Acquisition in July 2007, and from general capital expenditures across our portfolio.
Transaction Costs
     No costs related to the separation from Extendicare were incurred in the six month period ended June 30, 2008. Transaction costs related to our separation amounted to approximately $0.1 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2007.

Income from Operations
     Income from operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was $16.9 million compared to $16.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 due to the reasons described above.
Interest Income
     Interest income decreased $0.6 million to $0.5 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was due to lower interest rates on invested cash and a decrease in cash available for investment.
Interest expense
     Interest expense increased $0.8 million to $4.0 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The increase was due to borrowings under our $100 million credit facility to fund the Acquisitions and the repurchase of our Class A common stock.
Income before Income Taxes
     Income before income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was $13.4 million compared to $14.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 due to the reasons described above.
Income Tax Expense
     Income tax expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was $5.1 million compared to $5.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007. Our effective tax rate was 38.0% for both the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Net Income
     Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was $8.3 million compared to $8.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 due to the reasons described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
     We had cash and cash equivalents of $14.9 million at June 30, 2008 and $14.1 million at December 31, 2007. The table below sets forth a summary of the significant sources and uses of cash for the six month periods ended June 30.

     Cash provided by operating activities was $31.5 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $26.6 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2007.
     Our working capital increased $8.8 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007. Working capital increased primarily because we refinanced $12.1 million of current maturities of long term debt and increased cash by $0.9 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $2.1 million, a decrease in the market value of our investments of $1.0 million, decreased accounts receivable of $0.3 million, higher taxes payable of $0.2 million, and decreased supplies and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.6 million.

ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
     It is not unusual for us to operate in the position of a working capital deficit because our revenues are collected more quickly, often in advance, than our obligations are required to be paid. This can result in a low level of current assets to the extent cash has been deployed in business development opportunities, used to pay off longer term liabilities, or used to repurchase common stock. As discussed below, we have a line of credit in place to provide cash needed to satisfy our current obligations.
     In the six month period ended June 30, 2008, property and equipment increased $4.2 million from December 31, 2007. Property and equipment increased $11.5 million from capital expenditures (including new construction), $0.1 million from acquisitions, and $0.9 million from accrued construction costs related to our expansion plan, partially offset by $8.3 million of depreciation expense.
     Total debt, including both current and long-term, was $131.7 million as of June 30, 2008, an increase of $2.0 million from $129.7 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in debt was due to additional borrowings under our $100 million credit facility of $6.0 million, new mortgage debt of $9.0, repayments on mortgage debt of $12.9 million, and amortization of market value adjustments of $0.1 million.
     Cash used in investing activities was $12.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $8.1 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2007. Investment activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 included the CaraVita Acquisition in January of 2008 for $14.5 million ($14.9 million had been designated for this acquisition as of December 31, 2007), payments and accruals for new construction projects of $4.1 million and other capital expenditures of $8.4 million. Investment activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2007 included $2.1 million for new construction and $6.0 million for other capital expenditures.
     Cash used in financing activities was $18.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $3.8 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2007. In the 2008 period financing activities consisted primarily of the repurchase of 1,883,000 shares of Class A common stock at a total cost of $20.6 million, additional borrowings under our $100 million credit facility of $6.0 million, new mortgage debt financing of $9.0 million and $12.9 million of repayments on other mortgage debt. In the 2007 period, financing activities consisted primarily of $1.1 million of mortgage debt payments and the repurchase of $2.8 million of stock.
$100 Million Credit Facility
     On November 10, 2006, ALC entered into a five year, $100 million revolving credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation and other lenders. The facility is guaranteed by certain ALC subsidiaries that own approximately 64 of the residences in our portfolio and secured by a lien against substantially all of the assets of ALC and such subsidiaries. Interest rates applicable to funds borrowed under the facility are based, at ALC’s option, on either a base rate essentially equal to the prime rate or LIBOR plus an amount that varies according to a pricing grid based on a consolidated leverage test. At June 30, 2008 this amount was 150 basis points. Under certain conditions, and subject to possible market rate adjustments on the entire facility, ALC may request a $50 million increase in the facility.
     There were $48 million of borrowings under the facility at June 30, 2008 and no borrowings outstanding under the facility at June 30, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, borrowings of $42 million were outstanding under the facility. At June 30, 2008, ALC was in compliance with all covenants and available borrowings under the facility were $52 million.
DMG Mortgage Notes Payable in 2008
     The first of three DMG Mortgage Notes payable in 2008 came due on May 31, 2008. We paid off the first note for $11.9 million with borrowings under our $100 million credit facility and on June 10, 2008 mortgaged 3 of the 7 residences located in Texas which had secured the maturing debt with DMG. The new $9.0 mortgage debt bears interest at 7.07% and is due in July 2018. We incurred $0.2 million of closing costs which are being amortized over the 10 year life of the loan. The remaining $12.5 million in DMG Mortgage Notes payable are due in August 2008 ($5.3 million) and in December 2008 ($7.2 million). We plan to refinance the maturing notes through either additional mortgages or with borrowings under the $100 million credit facility.
Debt Instruments
     Other than the DMG mortgages notes referred to above and the increased borrowings on the $100 million credit facility, there were no material changes in our debt obligations from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008, and, as of the date of this report ALC was in compliance with all financial covenants in its debt agreements.

ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
Principal Repayment Schedule
     Other than the changes in debt referred to above, there were no material changes in our monthly debt service payments from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008.
Letters of credit
     As of June 30, 2008, we had $4.8 million in outstanding letters of credit, the majority of which are secured by cash. Approximately $3.0 million of the letters of credit provide security for worker’s compensation insurance and the remaining $1.8 million of letters of credit are security for landlords of leased properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we changed general and professional liability insurance carriers and converted from being self-insured to full commercial insurance on a portion of our general and professional liability insurance program which resulted in the release of a $5.0 million letter of credit. All the letters of credit are renewed annually and have maturity dates ranging from July 2008 to August 2009.
Restricted Cash
     As of June 30, 2008, restricted cash consists of $0.5 million of cash deposits securing letters of credit, $0.7 million of cash deposits as security for Oregon Trust Deed Notes, and $0.1 million of cash deposits as security for HUD Insured Mortgages. In March 2008, we changed general and professional liability insurance carriers and converted from being self-insured to full commercial insurance on a portion of our general and professional liability insurance program which resulted in the release of a $5.0 million letter of credit and $5.0 million of cash collateral.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     ALC has no off balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Management
     As of June 30, 2008, we held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $14.9 million, of which $8.9 million is held at our captive insurance subsidiary. 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 and other borrowings available on unencumbered properties, 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.
Expansion Plans
     Construction continues on the expansion units in our program to add 400 units onto existing owned residences. Weather issues, primarily related to heavy rains and flooding in the Midwest, have resulted in minor timing delays. We expect to complete, license, and begin accepting new residents in approximately 250 units by the end of 2008, with a targeted completion of the remaining units by the end of the first quarter of 2009. To date, cost estimates have been consistent with our original estimates of $125,000 per unit.
Share Repurchase
     On August 6, 2008, ALC’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in its Class A common stock repurchase program by $15 million. On December 14, 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $20 million of our Class A common stock. On August 20, 2007 and December 18, 2007, the Board of Directors expanded the repurchase program by an additional $20 million and $25 million, respectively. The August 6, 2008, increase brings the total authorization to $80 million through August 6, 2009. Shares may be repurchased 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, 2008, 8,087,760 shares had been repurchased for a total cost of $59.5 million at an average cost of $7.36 per share (plus fees of $0.03 per share). During the second quarter of 2008, we purchased 1,883,000 shares at an average cost of $6.09 per share (plus fees of $0.03 per share), for a total cost of $11.5 million. The stock repurchases were financed through existing funds and borrowings under our existing $100 million credit facility.

Accrual for Self-Insured Liabilities
     At June 30, 2008, we had an accrued liability for settlement of self-insured liabilities of $1.5 million in respect of general and professional liability claims. Claim payments were $0.1 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 and there were no payments in the six month period ended June 30, 2007. 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 $1.5 million liability will be paid in the next twelve months. The timing of payments is not directly within our control, and, therefore, estimates are subject to change. We believe we have provided sufficient provisions for general and professional liability claims as of June 30, 2008.
     At June 30, 2008, we had an accrual for workers’ compensation claims of $3.5 million. Claim payments for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The timing of payments is not directly within our control, and, therefore, estimates are subject to change. We believe we have provided sufficient provisions for workers’ compensation claims as of June 30, 2008.
     At June 30, 2008, we had an accrual for medical insurance claims of $1.0 million. The accrual is an estimate based on the historical claims per participant incurred over the historical lag time between date of service and payment by our third party administrator. The timing of payments is not directly within our control, and, therefore, estimates are subject to change. We believe we have provided sufficient provisions for medical insurance claims as of June 30, 2008.
Unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan
     At June 30, 2008, we had an accrual of $2.1 million for our unfunded deferred compensation plan. ALC implemented an unfunded deferred compensation plan in 2005 which is offered to company employees defined as highly compensated by the Internal Revenue Code in which participants may defer up to 10% of their base salary.
$100 Million Credit Facility
     On November 10, 2006, we entered into the revolving credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation and other lenders. The revolving credit facility is available to us to provide liquidity for expansions, acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, share repurchases, and for other general corporate purposes. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — $100 Million Credit Facility” above for a more detailed description of the terms of the revolving credit facility.
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, 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
     Our condensed 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, 2007. We consider certain accounting policies to be critical to an understanding of our condensed 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.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Qualitative Disclosures
     At June 30, 2008, our long-term debt including the current portion consisted of fixed-rate debt of $83.4 million, exclusive of a $0.3 million purchase accounting market value adjustment and variable rate debt of $48.0 million. As of December 31, 2007, our long-term debt consisted of fixed-rate debt of $87.3 million, exclusive of a $0.4 million purchase accounting market value adjustment and variable rate debt of $42.0 million.
     Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates as a result of our borrowings on our $100 million credit facility. At June 30, 2008, we had $48.0 million of variable rate borrowings based on the LIBOR rate plus a premium. As of June 30, 2008, our variable rate is 150 basis points in excess of the LIBOR rate. For every 1% change in the LIBOR rate, our interest expense will change by approximately $480,000 annually. This analysis does not consider changes in the actual level of borrowings or repayments that may occur subsequent to June 30, 2008. This analysis also does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment, nor does it consider actions that management might be able to take with respect to our financial structure to mitigate the exposure to such a change.
     As of June 30, 2008, we have no material derivative instruments. We do not speculate using derivative instruments and do not engage in derivative trading of any kind.
Quantitative Disclosures
     Other than the $11.9 million payoff and subsequent refinancing of $9.0 million with DMG and the $6.0 million of additional borrowings under the $100 million credit facility, 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 since December 31, 2007.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Disclosure Controls and Procedures. ALC’s management, with the participation of ALC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of ALC’s 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. ALC’s 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 Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to ALC’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, ALC’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, ALC’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
     Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in ALC’s 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, ALC’s internal control over financial reporting.

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 “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;
 
  §   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, including general economic downturns and declines in housing markets that restrict the ability of seniors to obtain funds from the sale of their homes, 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;
 
  §   we may make acquisitions that 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.
