 units at those communities both increased by 19% from a year ago.

During the quarter, the Company purchased third party interests in two previously managed assisted living communities at a cost of $4.2 million, adding 181 units to the consolidated portfolio. These acquisitions are related to the Company's initiative, announced in the first quarter, to accelerate its efforts to purchase the interests of third parties in certain AL projects that the Company currently manages. This brings the total of such transactions this year to 11, at a cost of $9.7 million, adding 862 units to the consolidated portfolio. The Company anticipates acquiring the third party interests of three more managed AL communities in the fourth quarter of 2000, leaving 12 managed AL communities that the Company may acquire in the future.

The Company experienced a loss for the quarter of $1.7 million or $.10 per share compared to third quarter 1999's net income of $2.1 million or $.12 per share. The primary cause of the loss was $2.7 million of pre-tax pre-tax adjanterior al impuesto

The eleven managed AL projects acquired during 2000, of which a number have or are about to be opened, reported $1.8 million of those pre-tax start-up losses.

 Care Communities increased revenue by almost 8% and net operating income by almost 5% during the third quarter versus the second quarter of 2000. While the addition of Freedom Village of Brandywine (a CCRC Noun 1.

) in May contributed significantly to the increase, overall occupancy gains, including recently completed expansions, improved results as well. At the end of the quarter, occupancies for these communities reached 96% in independent living and 90% in assisted living. Importantly, the skilled nursing centers at these communities were at 82% overall occupancy; 90% excluding the three skilled nursing expansions that are in initial fill-up fill-up

During the third quarter, the Same Community Results showed an increase in occupancy from 93% to 95%, a revenue increase of 7% and EBITDAR increase of 4%. For the same period, Same Community Results, excluding entry fee communities, showed an increase in occupancy from 94% to 95%, a revenue increase of 8% and an EBITDAR increase of 7%.

The Company's free-standing AL development is almost complete. During the quarter, the Company opened three free-standing AL's in its Senior Living Network markets, adding capacity for 309 residents to the total portfolio. Since the end of the quarter, three additional free-standing AL's have opened with 197 units. Two other AL's have been completed and will open when state licensure licensure

 is received. This leaves one AL under construction, which is expected to open in early 2001.

Comments

Commenting on the Company's results, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  Bill Sheriff said, "We are progressing along our plan to complete, open and lease-up the free-standing AL's within our Senior Living Networks. Over the last 18 months, we have opened 18 AL communities, representing almost 70% of the total free-standing AL portfolio capacity in our Network markets. As a result of our acquisition of the pre-stable free-standing AL's, the Company is currently reporting losses. Of course, start-up losses result from the high fixed costs fixed costs,

 associated with opening new locations, but over the next several quarters these newly opened locations will make significant progress toward covering their fixed costs, and we expect to see improving bottom line results next year. We have all but one AL opened or near opening; we have the full AL management team, corporate and field, on board; and we have seen good net move-in activity the last three months."

For the third quarter, the Company paid about $250,000 in increased premiums and added $375,000 to our retention reserve. G&A rose because of the retention reserve portion of the insurance costs as well as increased operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales  associated with the portfolio growth. However, at the same time, reductions associated with the completion of the AL development partially offset some of those increases.

Future Outlook

Management believes that the Company will experience strong growth over the next several years. As the lease-up of pre-stable AL's continues, along with increased occupancy at several new expansions, revenue is expected to grow between 35% to 40% over the next year.

, the Company expects to become profitable during the second half of 2001. The Company expects after-tax cash flow to remain strong throughout the period and to grow to over $30 million a year by 2002.

For the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company expects the operating results of the core communities to continue to improve as a result of higher occupancy, including the further fill-up of expansions. The Company anticipates that management fees, especially from Freedom Square and Freedom Plaza Peoria, will increase. However, with the addition of several newly opened AL properties and the acquisition of additional managed AL's, start-up losses are expected to increase for the next two quarters, more than offsetting the improved results from occupancy gains of core communities. Therefore, management believes that the Company will incur To become subject to and liable for; to have liabilities imposed by act or operation of law.
