"As we look toward Fiscal 2000, our Company will continue to focus on the priorities of reducing leverage through the sale of non-core assets and the formation of strategic joint-ventures, improving operating results through more effective cost management and capitalizing on revenue opportunities within our eldercare network. As always, Genesis remains committed to providing care at the highest level in the industry," Walker concluded.

Net loss was $277.3 million ($7.67 per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to net loss of $67.4 million ($1.92 per share) for the comparable period in the prior year.

Net loss before extraordinary items was $287.9 million ($8.11 per share) for the fiscal year ended 1999 compared to net loss before extraordinary items of $24.0 million ($0.68 per share) for the comparable period in the prior year.
