2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is  calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average  number of common  shares  outstanding  during the  period.  Diluted net
income per share considers the dilutive effect of outstanding options calculated
using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share (in thousands, except for per share amounts):




                                                                           Three Months Ended

Options to purchase 0.1 million  shares of common  stock at prices  ranging from
$6.63 to $10.50  per share  were not  included  in the  computation  of  diluted
earnings  per share  because the average  daily price of the common stock during
the first  quarter  of fiscal  2004 did not  exceed  the  exercise  price of the
options, and therefore,  the effect would not be dilutive. For the first quarter
of fiscal 2003, options to purchase 1.0 million shares of common stock at prices
ranging from $3.13 to $13.50 per share were not included in the  computation  of
diluted  earnings per share  because the average daily price of the common stock
did not exceed the exercise  price of the  options,  and  therefore,  the effect
would not be dilutive.

                       CAPITAL SENIOR LIVING CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


On January  28,  2004,  the  Company  granted  options to certain  employees  to
purchase  10,000  shares of the Company's  common stock at an exercise  price of
$6.63. In addition,  during the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued 37,651
shares of common  stock  pursuant to the  exercise  of stock  options by certain
employees of the Company.

Stock-Based Compensation

Pro forma  information  regarding net income per share has been determined as if
the Company had  accounted  for its employee  stock options under the fair value
method.  The fair value for these  options  was  estimated  at the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation
model was developed for use in estimating  the fair value of traded options that
have no vesting  restrictions and are fully  transferable.  In addition,  option
valuation models require the input of highly  subjective  assumptions  including
the  expected  stock price  volatility.  Because the  Company's  employee  stock
options  have  characteristics  significantly  different  from  those of  traded
options,  and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate,  in management's opinion, the existing models do
not  necessarily  provide a  reliable  single  measure  of the fair value of its
employee stock options.

For purposes of pro forma  disclosures,  the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods.

Swap Agreements

The Company uses interest rate and treasury  lock swap  agreements  for purposes
other than trading.  Interest rate swap  agreements are used to modify  variable
rate  obligations  to fixed rate  obligations,  thereby  reducing the  Company's
exposure to market rate fluctuations. The differential to be paid or received as
rates change is accounted  for under the accrual  method of  accounting  and the
amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included as an adjustment
to accrued  interest.  The Company had interest  rate swap  agreements  on $25.7
million  notional  amounts of  indebtedness at March 31, 2004. The interest rate
swap agreements  resulted in the Company  recognizing an additional $0.2 million
in interest expense during the first quarter of 2004.

In addition,  the Company is party to interest rate lock  agreements,  which are
used to  hedge  the risk  that  the  costs  of  future  issuance  of debt may be
adversely  affected by changes in interest  rates.  Under the treasury lock swap
agreements,  the  Company  agrees  to pay or  receive  an  amount  equal  to the
difference  between  the net  present  value of the cash  flows  for a  notional
principal  amount of indebtedness  based on the locked rate at the date when the
agreement was  established and the yield of a United States  Government  10-Year
Treasury Note on the settlement  date of January 3, 2006. The treasury lock swap
agreements  are  reflected at fair value in the  Company's  balance sheet (other
long term  liabilities)  and the related gains or losses on these agreements are
deferred in stockholders' equity (as a component of other comprehensive income).
During  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2004,  the  Company   recognized  other
comprehensive loss of $1.2 million from the change in fair value of the interest
rate and treasury lock swap agreements.  Total comprehensive

loss (net loss from  operations  plus  other  comprehensive  loss) for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 was $3.2 million.

3.   TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

BRE/CSL: The Company is party to three joint ventures  (collectively  "BRE/CSL")
with an affiliate of  Blackstone  Real Estate  Advisors  ("Blackstone")  and the
joint ventures own six senior living  communities and seek to acquire additional
senior  housing  properties.  BRE/CSL is owned 90% by Blackstone  and 10% by the
Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the joint  ventures,  each of the Company and
Blackstone must approve any acquisitions  made by BRE/CSL.  Each party must also
contribute its pro rata portion of the costs of any acquisition.

On June 30, 2003,  the Company  contributed  to BRE/CSL one of its senior living
communities  with a capacity of 182 residents.  As a result of the  contribution
the Company repaid $7.4 million of long-term debt, received $3.1 million in cash
from BRE/CSL, and has a 10% equity interest in BRE/CSL of $0.4 million resulting
in the recognition of a gain of $3.4 million.

The  Company  manages  the six  communities  owned by  BRE/CSL  under  long-term
management contracts.  The Company accounts for the BRE/CSL investment under the
equity method of accounting. The Company has deferred $0.1 million of management
services revenue as a result of its 10% interest in the BRE/CSL joint venture.

Spring Meadows:  The Company is party to four joint ventures which  collectively
own four senior  living  communities  (the "Spring  Meadows  Communities").  The
Company's   interests  in  the  joint  ventures  that  own  the  Spring  Meadows
Communities   include  interests  in  certain  loans  to  the  ventures  and  an
approximate  19% member  interest  in each  venture.  The Company  recorded  its
initial  advances of $1.3  million to the  ventures as notes  receivable  as the
amount assigned for the 19% member  interests was nominal.  The Company accounts
for its investment in the Spring Meadows  Communities under the equity method of
accounting  based on the provisions of the partnership  agreements.  The Company
has managed the Spring Meadows  Communities  since the opening of each community
in late 2000 and early 2001 and will  continue to manage the  communities  under
long-term  management  contracts.  In  addition,  the Company  receives an asset
management  fee  relating to each of the four  communities.  The Company has the
obligation  to fund  certain  future  operating  deficits of the Spring  Meadows
Communities to the extent of its 19% member interest.  No amounts were funded by
the Company under this obligation as of March 31, 2004.

Triad  I:  In  2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  FASB
Interpretation  No. 46, revised  December  2003,  ("FIN 46")  "Consolidation  of
Variable  Interest   Entities"  an  interpretation  of  ARB  No.  51,  effective
immediately for variable  interest  entities  created after January 31, 2003 and
effective as of December 31, 2003 for variable  interest  entities  that existed
prior  to  February  1,  2003.  The  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of  this
interpretation  at December 31, 2003,  and its adoption  resulted in the Company
consolidating the financial  position of Triad Senior Living I, L.P. ("Triad I")
at December 31, 2003 and resulted in the Company consolidating the operations of
Triad I  beginning  January  1,  2004.  Prior  to  adopting  FIN 46 the  Company
accounted for Triad I under the equity method of accounting.

The Company  has the option,  but not the  obligation,  to purchase  the Triad I
communities for an amount specified in the partnership  agreement.  Furthermore,
Lehman  Brothers has agreed to withdraw as a partner in the Triad I  partnership
to the extent it has received,  on or before November 1, 2004,  distributions in
an amount equal to its capital contributions of $12.4 million.

4.   ACQUISITIONS

Effective as of July 1, 2003, the Company  acquired the partnership  interest of
the general partner and the other third party limited  partnership  interests in
Triad Senior Living II, L.P., Triad Senior Living III, L.P., Triad Senior Living
IV, L.P. and Triad Senior Living V, L.P. (collectively the "Triad Entities") for
$1.3 million in cash,  $0.4 million in notes  payable and the  assumption of all
outstanding debt and liabilities  ($109.6 million bank debts, $73.2 million debt
due to the Company, and $9.9 million net working capital liabilities). The total
purchase price was $194.4 million and the  acquisition was treated as a purchase
of  property.  The  Company  now wholly  owns each of the Triad  Entities.  This
acquisition  resulted in the Company  acquiring  ownership  of 12 senior  living
communities with a combined resident capacity of approximately  1,670 residents.
The resident  capacity mix for the Triad Entities is 95% independent  living and
5% assisted living, with all revenues derived from private pay sources. Prior to
the  acquisition  the Company had developed and managed the properties  owned by
the Triad  Entities.  In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company repaid the $0.4
million in notes payable related to this acquisition.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Net cash acquired                                        $      122
Fair value of tangible assets acquired                       11,720
Property and equipment                                      182,601
                                                         ----------
Total purchase price                                     $  194,443

5.   EQUITY

In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company sold 5,750,000 shares of common
stock at a price of $6.00 per  share.  The net  proceeds  to the  Company  after
commissions  and expenses were  approximately  $32.2  million.  The Company used
$13.7 million of the net proceeds to retire debt that was scheduled to mature in
October 2004 and which had a current  interest  rate of 9.0%.  In addition,  the
Company  wrote off $0.3 million of deferred  loan costs  relating to the retired
debt to interest expense.

6.   CONTINGENCIES

In the  fourth  quarter  of  2002,  the  Company  (and  two  of  its  management
subsidiaries),  Buckner Retirement  Services,  Inc.  ("Buckner"),  and a related
Buckner  entity,  and other  unrelated  entities  were named as  defendants in a
lawsuit in district  court in Fort Bend County,  Texas  brought by the heir of a
former  resident  who  obtained  nursing  home  services  at Parkway  Place from
September  1998 to March 2001.  The Company  managed  Parkway  Place for Buckner
through  December  31,  2001.  The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  denied  any
wrongdoing. On March 16, 2004, the Court granted the Company's Motion to Dismiss
based on the Plaintiff's  failure to comply with certain statutory  requirements
in Texas relating to the filing of preliminary expert report. Specifically,  the
Plaintiff's  preliminary expert report failed to set forth the causal connection
between any act of the Company and the resident's  death.  The  Plaintiffs  have
filed a Motion for  Reconsideration  by the Court and a hearing is  scheduled in
July 2004.

In February  2004,  the Company and certain  subsidiaries,  along with  numerous
other senior  living  companies in  California,  were named as  defendants  in a
lawsuit in a district court in Los Angeles, California. This lawsuit was brought
by two public interest groups on behalf of seniors in California residing at the
facilities of the  defendants.  The plaintiffs  allege that  pre-admission  fees
charged by the defendants'  facilities were actually security deposits that must
be refunded in accordance with California law. The plaintiffs seek  restitution,
treble damages, penalties, costs and injunctive relief. The Company at this time
is  unable to  estimate  its  liability,  if any,  related  to this  claim.  The
Company's  insurer is defending  this claim subject to a  reservation  of rights
letter. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this claim.

The  Company has other  pending  claims not  mentioned  above  ("Other  Claims")
incurred in the course of its business.  Most of these Other Claims are believed
by  management  to be covered by insurance,  subject to normal  reservations  of
rights by the insurance  companies and possibly subject to certain exclusions in
the applicable  insurance policies.  Whether or not covered by insurance,  these
Other Claims,  in the opinion of  management,  based on advice of legal counsel,
should not have a material effect on the financial  statements of the Company if
determined adversely to the Company.

7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As of March  31,  2004,  the  Company  was in  violation  of  certain  financial
covenants  relating to four properties in Triad I. Subsequent to March 31, 2004,
Triad I  exercised  its  option  under its loan  agreement  to cure  these  loan
covenant violations by depositing $0.3 million with its lender.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following  discussion  and analysis  addresses (i) the Company's  results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and
(ii)  liquidity  and  capital  resources  of the  Company  and should be read in
conjunction  with the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  contained
elsewhere in this report.

The Company is one of the largest operators of senior living  communities in the
United States in terms of resident capacity. The Company's operating strategy is
to  provide  quality  senior  living  services  at an  affordable  price  to its
residents,  while achieving and sustaining a strong, competitive position within
its chosen  markets,  as well as to continue to enhance the  performance  of its
operations.  The  Company  provides  senior  living  services  to  the  elderly,
including  independent  living,  assisted living,  skilled nursing and home care
services.

As of March 31, 2004,  the Company  operated 42 senior living  communities in 20
states with an aggregate capacity of approximately 6,900 residents, including 41
senior living communities which the Company owned or in which the Company had an
ownership  interest and one community it managed for a third party.  As of March
31, 2004, the Company also operated one home care agency.

The Company  generates  revenue from a variety of sources.  For the three months
ended March 31, 2004, the Company's  revenue was derived as follows:  97.7% from
the operation of 31 owned and/or consolidated senior living communities that are
operated by the Company,  and 2.3% from  management fees arising from management
services  provided for 10  affiliate  owned senior  living  communities  and one
unaffiliated senior living community.

The Company  believes that the factors  affecting the financial  performance  of
communities managed under contracts with third parties do not vary substantially
from the factors affecting the performance of owned communities,  although there
are different business risks associated with these activities.

The Company's third-party management fees are primarily based on a percentage of
gross revenues.  As a result,  the cash flow and profitability of such contracts
to the Company are more dependent on the revenues  generated by such communities
and less  dependent on net cash flow than for owned  communities.  Further,  the
Company is not responsible for capital investments in managed communities. While
the management  contracts are generally  terminable  only for cause,  in certain
cases the contracts can be terminated  upon the sale of a community,  subject to
the Company's rights to offer to purchase such community.

The  Company's  current  management  contracts  expire on various  dates through
September  2022 and provide for management  fees based  generally upon 5% of net
revenues.  In  addition,  certain  of the  contracts  provide  for  supplemental
incentive fees that vary by contract based upon the financial performance of the
managed community.

Effective as of July 1, 2003, the Company  acquired the partnership  interest of
the general partners and the other third party limited partnership  interests in
the Triad  Entities for $1.3 million in cash,  $0.4 million in notes payable and
the assumption of all outstanding debt and liabilities. The total purchase price
was $194.4  million and the  acquisition  was treated as a purchase of property.
The  Company  now  wholly  owns each of the  Triad  Entities.  This  acquisition
resulted in the Company acquiring the 12 senior living  communities owned by the
Triad  Entities  with  a  combined  resident  capacity  of  approximately  1,670
residents.  The resident  capacity mix for the Triad Entities is 95% independent
living and 5%  assisted  living,  with all  revenues  derived  from  private pay
sources.  Subsequent  to the end of the  Company's  third  quarter of 2003,  the
Company  repaid the $0.4 million in notes payable  related to this  acquisition.
Prior to this  acquisition,  the  Company  owned 1% of the  limited  partnership
interests and managed the properties  owned by the Triad Entities under a series
of long-term management contracts.

In 2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  FIN 46  (Revised
December 2003) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities",  an interpretation
of ARB No. 51,  effective  immediately for variable  interest  entities  created
after  January  31, 2003 and  effective  as of  December  31, 2003 for  variable
interest entities that existed prior to February 1,

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

2003. The Company adopted the provisions of this interpretation,  as of December
31,  2003,  and its  adoption  resulted in the Company  consolidating  Triad I's
financial  position  as of  December  31,  2003  and  resulted  in  the  Company
consolidating  Triad I's results of operations  beginning  January 1, 2004.  The
Company   operates  the  five  senior  living   communities  and  two  expansion
communities  in Triad I under a series of long-term  management  agreements  and
accounted for Triad I under the equity  method of  accounting  prior to adopting
the provisions of FIN 46 revised.

As of March  31,  2004,  the  Company  was in  violation  of  certain  financial
covenants  relating to four properties in Triad I. Subsequent to March 31, 2004,
Triad I  exercised  its  option  under its loan  agreement  to cure  these  loan
covenant violations by depositing $0.3 million with its lender.

The  Company is party to three  joint  ventures  with  Blackstone  and the joint
ventures own six senior living communities and seek to acquire additional senior
housing  properties.  BRE/CSL is owned 90% by Blackstone and 10% by the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the joint ventures,  each of the Company and Blackstone
must approve any  acquisitions  made by the joint venture.  Each party must also
contribute  its pro rata  portion of the costs of any  acquisition.  The Company
manages  the  six  communities  owned  by  BRE/CSL  under  long-term  management
contracts.  The Company  accounts  for the BRE/CSL  investment  under the equity
method of  accounting.  The  Company has  deferred  $0.1  million of  management
services revenue as a result of its 10% interest in BRE/CSL.

The Company is party to four joint  ventures which  collectively  own the Spring
Meadows Communities.  The Company's interests in the joint ventures that own the
Spring Meadows  Communities  include  interests in certain loans to the ventures
and an approximate 19% member interest in each venture. The Company recorded its
initial  advances of $1.3  million to the  ventures as notes  receivable  as the
amount assigned for the 19% member  interests was nominal.  The Company accounts
for its investment in the Spring Meadows  Communities under the equity method of
accounting  based on the provisions of the partnership  agreements.  The Company
has managed the Spring Meadows  Communities  since the opening of each community
in late 2000 and early 2001 and will  continue to manage the  communities  under
long-term  management  contracts.  In  addition,  the Company  receives an asset
management  fee  relating to each of the four  communities.  The Company has the
obligation  to fund  certain  future  operating  deficits of the Spring  Meadows
Communities to the extent of its 19% member interest.  No amounts were funded by
the Company under this obligation as of March 31, 2004.

Three Months  Ended March 31, 2004  Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
2003

Revenues.  Total revenues were $22.6 million in the three months ended March 31,
2004  compared to $14.5  million  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2003,
representing an increase of approximately  $8.1 million or 56.2%.  This increase
in revenue is primarily  the result of an $8.9 million  increase in resident and
healthcare  revenue  offset by a decrease in  unaffiliated  management  services
revenue  of $0.3  million,  a decrease  in  affiliated  management  fees of $0.4
million and a decrease in  affiliated  development  fee revenue of $0.1 million.
The increase in resident  and  healthcare  revenue  reflects an increase of $6.1
million  from the  acquisition  of the Triad  Entities (12  communities)  and an
increase of $3.7 million from the consolidation of Triad I (five communities and
two  expansions)  under the provisions of FIN 46 revised offset by a decrease in
resident and healthcare revenue of $1.6 million relating to two communities that
were sold  during the third and fourth  quarters  of fiscal  2003.  Unaffiliated
management  services revenue in fiscal 2004 represents the Company's  management
services  revenue on a  community  it manages  for a third  party.  Unaffiliated
management  services  revenue in fiscal 2003 resulted  from the  settlement of a
management  contract  with  Buckner.   Affiliated  management  services  revenue
decreased $0.4 million primarily as a result of the Company's acquisition of the
Triad Entities and the consolidation of Triad I.

Expenses.  Total expenses were $21.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2004
compared to $11.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003,  representing  an
increase of $9.8 million or 84.1%.  This  increase is primarily  the result of a
$6.9 million increase in operating expenses,  a $1.3 million increase in general
and  administrative  expenses and a $1.6 million  increase in  depreciation  and
amortization  expense.  Operating expenses increased $4.5 million as a result of
the Company's  acquisition  of the Triad Entities and by $2.6 million due to the
consolidation  of Triad I offset by a decrease

                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


of $0.8 million  relating to the two  communities  that were sold during  fiscal
2003. General and administrative  expenses increased $1.1 million as a result of
the Company's  acquisition  of the Triad Entities and by $0.6 million due to the
consolidation  of Triad I offset by a decrease of $0.1  million  relating to the
two  communities  that  were  sold  during  fiscal  2003.  Depreciation  expense
increased  $1.2 million as a result of the  Company's  acquisition  of the Triad
Entities  and by $0.5  million due to the  consolidation  of Triad I offset by a
decrease of $0.1 million  relating to the two communities  that were sold during
2003.

Other income and expense.  Interest  income  decreased  $1.5 million or 90.0% to
$0.2  million due to the  Company's  acquisition  of the Triad  Entities and the
consolidation  of Triad I. The Company earned $1.5 million in interest income on
loans to the Triad Entities and Triad I during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
Interest expense  increased $1.5 million to $4.1 million in the first quarter of
2004 compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2003.  This 57.5% increase
in interest  expense is primarily the result of higher debt  outstanding  in the
current  fiscal year  compared to fiscal  2003 due to the  assumption  of $109.6
million of debt  related to the  acquisition  of the Triad  Entities  and due to
$47.6 million of debt consolidated related to Triad I offset by $14.9 million of
debt repaid related to the two communities sold during 2003 and $17.4 million of
debt  retired  during  the first  quarter  of 2004.  Equity in the  earnings  of
affiliates  represents  the  Company's  share of the  earnings and losses on its
investments in BRE/CSL.

Provision/benefit  for  income  taxes.  Benefit  for  income  taxes in the first
quarter of fiscal 2004 was $0.7 million or 24.8% of loss before taxes,  compared
to a provision  for income taxes of $0.7 million or 38.3% of income before taxes
in the first  quarter  of fiscal  2003.  The  effective  tax rates for the first
quarter of 2004 and 2003 differ from the  statutory  tax rates  because of state
income taxes and permanent tax differences. The permanent tax differences in the
first  quarter of fiscal 2004  include  $0.9  million in net losses  incurred by
Triad I.

Minority interest.  Minority interest  represents the minority holder's share of
the losses incurred by Helathcare Properties, L.P. ("HCP").

Net income.  As a result of the foregoing  factors,  net income  decreased  $3.2
million to a net loss of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004,
as compared to a net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In addition to approximately  $22.8 million of cash balances on hand as of March
31, 2004,  the  Company's  principal  source of liquidity is expected to be cash
flows from operations, proceeds from the sale of assets, cash flows from BRE/CSL
and/or additional financing. Of the $22.8 million in cash balances, $0.6 million
relates to cash held by HCP.  The Company  expects its  available  cash and cash
flows from  operations,  proceeds  from the sale of assets,  and cash flows from
BRE/CSL to be sufficient to fund its short-term  working  capital  requirements.
The Company's long-term capital  requirements,  primarily for acquisitions,  the
payment of operating deficit guarantees, and other corporate initiatives,  could
be dependent on its ability to access  additional  funds through joint  ventures
and the debt and/or equity  markets.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will  continue to  generate  cash flows at or above  current  levels or that the
Company will be able to obtain the capital necessary to meet the Company's short
and long-term capital requirements.

The Company had net cash  provided by operating  activities  of $0.6 million and
$1.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively. In
first  quarter of fiscal 2004,  net cash  provided by operating  activities  was
primarily  derived  from net  noncash  charges of $3.4  million,  a decrease  in
accounts  receivable  of $0.3  million,  a decrease in prepaid and other of $1.2
million,  offset by a net loss of $2.0 million,  an increase in property tax and
insurance deposits of $0.4 million, an increase in other assets of $0.1 million,
an increase in federal and state  income tax  receivable  of $1.1  million and a
decrease in accounts  payable and  accrued  expenses of $0.5  million.  In first
quarter of fiscal 2003, net cash provided by operating  activities was primarily
derived from net income of $1.2 million,  net noncash charges of $1.4 million, a
decrease in prepaid  and other of $0.4  million,  a decrease in other  assets of
$0.3 million and a decrease in federal and state income taxes receivable of $0.3
million  offset by an  increase  in  accounts  receivable  of $0.2  million,  an
increase in property tax and  insurance  deposits of $0.6 million and a decrease
in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.4 million.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


The Company had net cash used in investing  activities  of $0.4 million and $4.9
million in the first three months of fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively.  In the
first  quarter of fiscal  2004,  the net cash used in investing  activities  was
primarily  the result of advances to  affiliates  of $0.1  million,  and capital
expenditures  of $0.3 million offset by proceeds from limited  partnerships.  In
the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the net cash used in investing  activities was
primarily  the result of advances to the Triad  Entities  of $4.3  million,  and
capital   expenditures   of  $0.6  million   offset  by  proceeds  from  limited
partnerships.

The Company had net cash  provided by financing  activities  of $15.9 million in
the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2004  compared  to net cash  used in  financing
activities  of $3.1 million in the first  quarter of fiscal 2003.  For the first
quarter of fiscal 2004 the net cash provided by financing  activities  primarily
results  from the  Company's  sale of  5,750,000  shares of common stock for net
proceeds of $32.2  million,  proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.1
million and proceeds from the release of restricted cash of $1.0 million, offset
by repayments of notes payable of $17.4 million. For the first quarter of fiscal
2003  the  net  cash  used  in  financing  activities  primarily  resulted  from
repayments of notes payable of $3.1 million.

The Company  derives the benefits and bears the risks related to the communities
it owns. The cash flows and  profitability of owned  communities  depends on the
operating  results of such  communities  and are  subject  to  certain  risks of
ownership,  including  the need for capital  expenditures,  financing  and other
risks such as those relating to environmental matters.

The Company  believes that the factors  affecting the financial  performance  of
communities  managed under  contracts  with  affiliates and third parties do not
vary   substantially  from  the  factors  affecting  the  performance  of  owned
communities,  although there are different  business risks associated with these
activities.

The  Company's  third-party  management  service fees are  primarily  based on a
percentage of gross revenues.  As a result,  the cash flows and profitability of
such  contracts to the Company are more  dependent on the revenues  generated by
such communities and less dependent on net cash flow than for owned communities.
Further,  the  Company is not  responsible  for capital  investments  in managed
communities.  While the management  contracts are generally  terminable only for
cause,  in certain  cases the  contracts  can be  terminated  upon the sale of a
community, subject to the Company's rights to offer to purchase such community.

The  Company's  current  management  contracts  expire on various  dates through
September 2022 and provide for management  fees based generally upon 5% of gross
revenues.  In  addition,  certain  of the  contracts  provide  for  supplemental
incentive fees that vary by contract based upon the financial performance of the
managed  community.  The Company's  development  fees are generally based upon a
percentage of construction  cost and are earned over the period  commencing with
the initial development activities and ending with the opening of the community.

The Company is party to three joint ventures with an affiliate of Blackstone and
the  joint  ventures  own six  senior  living  communities  and seek to  acquire
additional senior housing properties. BRE/CSL is owned 90% by Blackstone and 10%
by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the joint ventures, each of the Company
and Blackstone must approve any  acquisitions  made by BRE/CSL.  Each party must
also contribute its pro rata portion of the costs of any acquisition.

On June 30, 2003,  the Company  contributed  to BRE/CSL one of its senior living
communities  with a capacity of 182 residents.  As a result of the  contribution
the Company repaid $7.4 million of long-term debt, received $3.1 million in cash
from BRE/CSL, and has a 10% equity interest in BRE/CSL of $0.4 million resulting
in the recognition of a gain of $3.4 million.

The Company manages the six communities owned by BRE/CSL under long-term
management contracts. The Company accounts for the BRE/CSL investment under the
equity method of accounting. The Company has deferred $0.1 million of management
services revenue as a result of its 10% interest in the BRE/CSL joint venture.

The Company is party to four joint  ventures which  collectively  own the Spring
Meadows Communities.  The Company's interests in the joint ventures that own the
Spring Meadows  Communities  include  interests in certain loans to the ventures
and an approximate 19% member interest in each venture. The Company recorded its
initial  advances of $1.3  million to the  ventures as notes  receivable  as the
amount assigned for the 19% member  interests was nominal.  The Company accounts
for its investment in the Spring Meadows  Communities under the equity method of
accounting  based on the provisions of the partnership  agreements.  The Company
has managed the Spring Meadows  Communities  since the opening of each community
in late 2000 and early 2001 and will  continue to manage the  communities  under
long-term  management  contracts.  In  addition,  the Company  receives an asset
management  fee  relating to each of the four  communities.  The Company has the
obligation  to fund  certain  future  operating  deficits of the Spring  Meadows
Communities to the extent of its 19% member interest.  No amounts were funded by
the Company under this obligation during the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

In 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" an
interpretation  of ARB No.  51,  effective  immediately  for  variable  interest
entities  created  after  January 31, 2003 and effective as of December 31, 2003
for  variable  interest  entities  that existed  prior to February 1, 2003.  The
Company adopted the provisions of this  interpretation at December 31, 2003, and
its adoption  resulted in the Company  consolidating  the financial  position of
Triad I at December  31, 2003 and  resulted  in the  Company  consolidating  the
operations  of Triad I beginning  with the Company first quarter of fiscal 2004.
Prior to  adopting  FIN 46 the  Company  accounted  for Triad I under the equity
method of accounting.

As of March  31,  2004,  the  Company  was in  violation  of  certain  financial
covenants  relating to four properties in Triad I. Subsequent to March 31, 2004,
Triad I  exercised  its  option  under its loan  agreement  to cure  these  loan
covenant violations by depositing $0.3 million with its lender.

The Company  has the option,  but not the  obligation,  to purchase  the Triad I
communities for an amount specified in the partnership  agreement.  Furthermore,
Lehman  Brothers has agreed to withdraw as a partner in the Triad I  partnership
to the extent it has received,  on or before November 1, 2004,  distributions in
an amount equal to its capital contributions of $12.4 million.

The following  unaudited pro forma  financial  information  for the three months
ended March 31, 2003  combines  the results of the Company and Triad I as if the
provisions of FIN 46 had been applied at the  beginning of fiscal 2003.  The pro
forma  financial  information is presented for  informational  purposes only and
does not reflect  the results of  operations  of the  Company,  which would have
actually resulted if Triad I had been consolidated as of the dates indicated, or
future results of operations of the Company (in thousands).

Effective as of July 1, 2003, the Company  acquired the partnership  interest of
the general partner and the other third party limited  partnership  interests in
the Triad  Entities for $1.3 million in cash,  $0.4 million in notes payable and
the assumption of all  outstanding  debt and  liabilities  ($109.6  million bank
debts,  $73.2  million  debt due to the  Company,  and $9.9  million net working
capital  liabilities).  The total  purchase  price was  $194.4  million  and the
acquisition  was treated as a purchase of property.  The Company now wholly owns
each of the Triad Entities.  This acquisition  resulted in the Company acquiring
ownership of 12 senior living  communities with a combined  resident capacity of
approximately 1,670 residents.  The resident capacity mix for the Triad Entities
is 95% independent living and 5% assisted living, with all revenues derived from
private pay sources.  Prior to the  acquisition  the Company had  developed  and
managed the  properties  owned by the Triad  Entities.  In the fourth quarter of
2003,  the  Company  repaid the $0.4  million in notes  payable  related to this
acquisition.

The Company has not completed its analysis of this purchase and as such the
purchase accounting information disclosed should be considered preliminary. The
following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 combines the results of the Company and the Triad Entities as if
the transaction had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2003. The pro forma
financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not
reflect the results of operations of the Company, which would have actually
resulted if the purchase occurred as of the dates indicated, or future results
of operations of the Company (in thousands).

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,
which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may,"
"will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or the negative thereof
or other  variations  thereon or comparable  terminology.  The Company  cautions
readers that forward-looking statements,  including,  without limitation,  those
relating to the Company's future business prospects,  revenues, working capital,
liquidity, the purchase of the Triad Entities, capital needs, interest costs and
income,  are subject to certain risks and uncertainties  that could cause actual
results  to  differ  materially  from  those  indicated  in the  forward-looking

include  the  Company's  ability  to find  suitable  acquisition  properties  at
favorable terms, financing,  licensing,  business conditions, risks of downturns
in economic  condition  generally,  satisfaction  of closing  conditions such as
those  pertaining  to  licensure,  availability  of  insurance  at  commercially

others,  and  other  risks  and  factors  identified  from  time  to time in the
Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company's  primary  market risk is exposure to changes in interest  rates on
debt  instruments.  As of March 31,  2004 the  Company  had  $261.7  million  in
outstanding  debt comprised of various fixed and variable rate debt  instruments
of $69.7 million and $192.0 million, respectively.

Changes in interest  rates would affect the fair market  value of the  Company's
fixed  rate debt  instruments  but  would  not have an  impact on the  Company's
earnings or cash flows. Fluctuations in interest rates on the Company's variable
rate debt  instruments,  that are tied to either LIBOR or the prime rate,  would
affect  the  Company's  earnings  and cash  flows but would not  affect the fair
market value of the variable rate debt. A portion of the Company's variable rate
debt includes  interest rate floors,  which exceed  current  market rates.  Once
these interest rate floors are reached each percentage  point change in interest
rates,  would increase the Company's  annual interest  expense by  approximately
$1.9 million  based on the Company's  outstanding  variable debt as of March 31,
2004.

The Company uses interest rate and treasury  lock swap  agreements  for purposes
other than trading.  Interest rate swap  agreements are used to modify  variable
rate  obligations  to fixed rate  obligations,  thereby  reducing the  Company's
exposure to market rate fluctuations. The differential to be paid or received as
rates change is accounted  for under the accrual  method of  accounting  and the
amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included as an adjustment
to accrued  interest.  The Company had interest  rate swap  agreements  on $25.7
million  notional  amounts of  indebtedness at March 31, 2004. The interest rate
swap agreements  resulted in the Company  recognizing an additional $0.2 million
in interest expense during the first quarter of 2004.

In addition,  the Company is party to interest rate lock  agreements,  which are
used to  hedge  the risk  that  the  costs  of  future  issuance  of debt may be
adversely  affected by changes in interest  rates.  Under the treasury lock swap
agreements,  the  Company  agrees  to pay or  receive  an  amount  equal  to the
difference  between  the net  present  value of the cash  flows  for a  notional
principal  amount of indebtedness  based on the locked rate at the date when the
agreement was  established and the yield of a United States  Government  10-Year
Treasury Note on the settlement  date of January 3, 2006. The treasury lock swap
agreements  are  reflected at fair value in the  Company's  balance sheet (other
long term  liabilities)  and the related gains or losses on these agreements are
deferred in stockholders' equity (as a component of other comprehensive income).
During  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2004,  the  Company   recognized  other
comprehensive loss of $1.2 million from the change in fair value of the interest
rate and treasury lock swap agreements.  Total comprehensive loss (net loss from
operations plus other  comprehensive  loss) for the three months ended March 31,
2004 was $3.2 million.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The  Company's  management,  with  the  participation  of  the  Company's  Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial  Officer,  has evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company's  disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  under the  Exchange  Act) as of the end of the
period covered by this report.  Based on such  evaluation,  the Company's  Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end
of such period, the Company's  disclosure  controls and procedures are effective
in  recording,  processing,  summarizing  and  reporting,  on  a  timely  basis,
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act.

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is 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,  the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the  fourth  quarter  of  2002,  the  Company  (and  two  of  its  management
subsidiaries),  Buckner,  and a related  Buckner  entity,  and  other  unrelated
entities were named as  defendants  in a lawsuit in district  court in Fort Bend
County, Texas brought by the heir of a former resident who obtained nursing home
services at Parkway Place from September 1998 to March 2001. The Company managed
Parkway  Place for  Buckner  through  December  31,  2001.  The  Company and its
subsidiaries  denied any  wrongdoing.  On March 16, 2004,  the Court granted the
Company's  Motion to Dismiss  based on the  Plaintiff's  failure to comply  with
certain  statutory  requirements  in Texas relating to the filing of preliminary
expert report. Specifically, the Plaintiff's preliminary expert report failed to
set  forth  the  causal  connection  between  any  act of the  Company  and  the
resident's death. The Plaintiffs have filed a Motion for  Reconsideration by the
Court and a hearing is scheduled in July 2004.

In February  2004,  the Company and certain  subsidiaries,  along with  numerous
other senior  living  companies in  California,  were named as  defendants  in a
lawsuit in a district court in Los Angeles, California. This lawsuit was brought
by two public interest groups on behalf of seniors in California residing at the
facilities of the  defendants.  The plaintiffs  allege that  pre-admission  fees
charged by the defendants'  facilities were actually security deposits that must
be refunded in accordance with California law. The plaintiffs seek  restitution,
treble damages, penalties, costs and injunctive relief. The Company at this time
is  unable to  estimate  its  liability,  if any,  related  to this  claim.  The
Company's  insurer is defending  this claim subject to a  reservation  of rights
letter. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this claim.

The  Company has other  pending  claims not  mentioned  above  ("Other  Claims")
incurred in the course of its business.  Most of these Other Claims are believed
by  management  to be covered by insurance,  subject to normal  reservations  of
rights by the insurance  companies and possibly subject to certain exclusions in
the applicable  insurance policies.  Whether or not covered by insurance,  these
Other Claims,  in the opinion of  management,  based on advice of legal counsel,
should not have a material effect on the financial  statements of the Company if
determined adversely to the Company.
