The company reported a quarterly net loss of $800,000, or $(0.04) per share, compared with a net loss of $7.2 million, or $(0.41) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2000.

Total revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2001 was $145.4 million compared with $138.9 million for last year.

The remaining decrease is attributed to the sale of the company's leasehold interest in three communities in the second quarter of 2000 and the aforementioned reduction in general and administrative expense offset by increases in utilities and insurance expenses.

Total occupancy of the 50 communities owned or leased by the company for the year 2001 increased to 88.2% from 86.8% for the year 2000. The average monthly revenue for the year per occupied unit increased 5.3% to $2,259 from $2,145 for the prior year. Revenue from assisted living services remained at 17% of total revenue.
