financial  statements,  as of September  30, 2004 and 2003,  have been  prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain  information  and  note  disclosures  normally  included  in the  annual
financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance  with U. S.  generally  accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and
regulations.  For further  information,  refer to the financial  statements  and

30, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September  30, 2004 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results for the year
ending December 31, 2004.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by
the weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding  during the period.
Diluted net (loss) 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  (loss)
earnings per share (in thousands, except for per share amounts):

Options were not included in the  computation  of diluted loss per share because
the  Company  had net losses  during the third  quarter and first nine months of
fiscal 2004,  and  therefore,  the effect  would not be dilutive.  For the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal  2003,  options to purchase  0.2 million
shares of common stock at prices ranging from $4.14 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 third  quarter and first nine months
of fiscal 2003 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
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2004


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.  On May 19, 2004,  the Company  granted  options to certain  directors to
purchase  12,000  shares of the Company's  common stock at an exercise  price of
$4.85.  On July 30, 2004, the Company  granted  options to certain  employees to
purchase  22,000  shares of the Company's  common stock at an exercise  price of
$4.50.  In addition,  during the first nine months of 2004,  the Company  issued
139,127  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 (loss) 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 stock
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods (in thousands,
except per share data).

the disclosure provisions and transition  alternatives of Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation"  ("SFAS
123") and was  effective  for fiscal years ending after  December 15, 2002.  The
Company  adopted the  disclosure  provisions of SFAS 148 effective  December 31,
2002.  On March 31,  2004,  the FASB  issued its  Exposure  Draft,  "Share-Based
Payments,"  which is a proposed  amendment to SFAS 123. This proposed  amendment
would  require  all  share-based  payments  to  employees,  including  grants of
employee stock options,  to be recognized in the income statement based on their
fair values. On October 13, 2004, the FASB concluded that the amendment would be
effective for public  companies for interim or annual  periods  beginning  after
June 15, 2005.

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

                                       7

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2004


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 $25.2
million  notional  amounts of  indebtedness  at September 30, 2004. The interest
rate swap  agreements  resulted in the Company  recognizing  an additional  $0.2
million and $0.7 million in interest  expense during the third quarter and first
nine months of fiscal 2004, respectively.

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 nine  months of fiscal  2004,  the  Company  recognized  other
comprehensive loss of $0.7 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 nine months ended September
30, 2004 was $5.7 million.

Income Taxes

The  effective  tax rates differ from the  statutory  tax rates because of state
income taxes and  permanent  tax  differences.  The  permanent  tax  differences
include net losses incurred by Triad I, which have been  consolidated  under the
provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46.


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 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 the
Company  recognized  equity in the  earnings of BRE/CSL of $0.2  million.  As of
September 30, 2004, 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 and for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 the Company recognized equity in the losses
of the Spring Meadows  Communities of $0.1 million.  The Company has managed the
Spring Meadows  Communities since the opening of each community in late 2000 and
early 2001. In addition,  the Company  receives an asset management fee relating

                                       8

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2004


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 September 30, 2004.

Triad I: In 2003, the FASB 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,  which 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,  extended  its  agreement to December 1, 2004 to withdraw as a
partner in the Triad I partnership  to the extent it has received  distributions
in an amount  equal to its capital  contributions  of $12.4  million.  If Lehman
Brothers has not withdrawn as a partner by December 1, 2004, Lehman Brothers may
be entitled to certain rights under the Triad I partnership agreement.

The following  unaudited  pro forma  financial  information  for the nine months
ended  September  30, 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,  that may have
actually resulted if Triad I had been consolidated as of the dates indicated, or

4.       ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Effective  August 18, 2004,  the Company  acquired  from the  Covenant  Group of
Texas,  Inc.  ("CGT")  all  of the  outstanding  stock  of  CGT's  wholly  owned
subsidiary,  CGI Management,  Inc. ("CGIM"). The Company paid approximately $2.3
million in cash and issued a note for  approximately  $1.4  million,  subject to
various adjustments set forth in the purchase  agreement,  to acquire all of the
outstanding   stock  of  CGIM.  The  note  is  due  in  three   installments  of
approximately  $0.3  million,  $0.4  million and $0.7  million due on the first,
third and fifth anniversaries of the closing, respectively, subject to reduction
if the  management  fees  earned from the third  party  owned  communities  with
various terms are  terminated and not replaced by substitute  agreements  during
the period,  and certain other  adjustments.  This  acquisition  resulted in the
Company assuming the management contracts on 14 senior living communities with a
combined  resident capacity of approximately  1,800 residents.  The resident mix
for the communities related to the CGIM management  contracts is 78% independent
living and 22%  assisted  living.  In  addition,  the  Company  has the right to
acquire  seven  of  the  properties  owned  by CGT  (which  are  part  of the 14
communities  managed  by CGIM)  based on sales  prices  specified  in the  stock
purchase agreement.  The Company has not completed its analysis of this purchase
and  the  purchase  accounting   information   disclosed  should  be  considered
preliminary.

The intangible  contract rights are being amortized to expense over the expected
life of the management contracts acquired from CGIM.

In  September  2003,  the Company sold its Atrium of  Carmichael  ("Carmichael")
community  to a subsidiary  of Senior  Housing  Partners II, LP ("SHP"),  a fund
managed by Prudential Real Estate  Investors  ("Prudential"),  for $11.7 million
before  closing  costs of $0.6  million.  Carmichael  is an  independent  living
community located in Sacramento,  California with a resident capacity of 156. As
a result of the sale,  the Company  retired $7.4 million in debt,  received $3.6
million in cash and recognized a gain of $3.1 million.  The Company  manages the
Carmichael community for SHP under a long-term management contract.

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 (in thousands):

              Net cash acquired                           $      122
              Fair value of tangible assets acquired          11,720

5.       DEBT

During the third  quarter of 2004,  the Company  extended  the maturity on $29.7
million of loans with GMAC from  September 2005 to December 2005. The Company is
currently  working  with GMAC to refinance  these loans and the Company  expects

these  loans to be  refinanced  during the fourth  quarter  of fiscal  2004.  In
addition,  the Company  classified  $34.8  million of debt maturing in September
2005 with  Freddie Mac as a current  liability as of  September  30,  2004.  The
classification  of this debt as current  resulted  in the  Company  violating  a
certain loan covenant  with two of its lenders.  The Company has received a loan
modification  eliminating the violation from one of its lenders and a waiver for
the third quarter of 2004 from its other  lender.  The Company is in the process
of evaluating various alternatives to permit it to meet its current obligations,
including  entering  into  refinancing   arrangements,   amending  current  debt
agreements and other possible  actions.  The Company believes it has the ability
to meet its obligations for at least one year.

6.       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.

7.       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.

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.

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 and nine  months  ended  September  30, 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 September 30, 2004, the Company  operated 56 senior living  communities in
20 states with an aggregate capacity of approximately 8,700 residents, including
41 senior living communities which the Company owned or in which the Company had
an ownership interest, 15 communities it managed for third parties including one
community in pre-lease.  As of September 30, 2004, the Company also operated one
home care agency.

The Company  generates  revenue from a variety of sources.  For the three months
ended  September 30, 2004, the Company's  revenue was derived as follows:  96.9%
from the operation of 31 owned and/or  consolidated  senior  living  communities
that are  operated  by the  Company,  2.1% from  management  fees  arising  from
management  services  provided for 10 affiliate owned senior living  communities
and 1.0% from management fees arising from management  services  provided for 15
unaffiliated senior living communities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company's  revenue was derived
as follows:  97.5% from the  operation  of 31 owned and/or  consolidated  senior
living  communities  that are operated by the Company,  and 2.1% from management
fees arising from  management  services  provided for 10 affiliate  owned senior
living  communities  and 0.4%  from  management  fees  arising  from  management
services provided for 15 unaffiliated senior living communities.

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.  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  August 18, 2004, the Company acquired from CGT all of the outstanding
stock of CGT's wholly owned  subsidiary,  CGIM.  The Company paid  approximately
$2.3 million in cash and issued a note for approximately  $1.4 million,  subject
to various  adjustments set forth in the purchase  agreement,  to acquire all of
the  outstanding  stock  of  CGIM.  The  note is due in  three  installments  of
approximately  $0.3  million,  $0.4  million and $0.7  million due on the first,

third and fifth anniversaries of the closing, respectively, subject to reduction
if the  management  fees  earned from the third  party  owned  communities  with
various terms are  terminated and not replaced by substitute  agreements  during
the period,  and certain other  adjustments.  This  acquisition  resulted in the
Company assuming the management contracts on 14 senior living communities with a
combined  resident capacity of approximately  1,800 residents.  The resident mix
for the communities related to the CGIM management  contracts is 78% independent
living and 22%  assisted  living.  In  addition,  the  Company  has the right to
acquire  seven  of  the  properties  owned  by CGT  (which  are  part  of the 14
communities  managed  by CGIM)  based on sales  prices  specified  in the  stock
purchase agreement.

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 September 2003, the Company sold its Carmichael  community to a subsidiary of
SHP, a fund managed by  Prudential,  for $11.7 million  before  closing costs of
$0.6  million.   Carmichael  is  an  independent  living  community  located  in
Sacramento, California with a resident capacity of 156. As a result of the sale,
the Company  retired  $7.4  million in debt,  received  $3.6 million in cash and
recognized a gain of $3.1 million.  The Company manages the Carmichael community
for SHP under a long-term management contract.

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,  as of December 31, 2003,
which 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.

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.  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 September 30, 2004.

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.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 2003

Revenues.  Total revenues were $23.7 million in the three months ended September
30, 2004  compared to $18.7  million for the three  months ended  September  30,
2003,  representing  an increase of  approximately  $5.0 million or 27.0%.  This
increase  in  revenue is  primarily  the result of a $5.0  million  increase  in
resident  and  healthcare  revenue,  a $0.2  million  increase  in  unaffiliated

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

management  services  revenue  offset by a $0.2 million  decrease in  affiliated
management  services  revenue.  The increase in resident and healthcare  revenue
reflects an increase of $3.7  million  from the  consolidation  of Triad I (five
communities and two expansions)  under the provisions of FIN 46, and an increase
at the  Company's  other  communities  of $2.1  million  offset by a decrease in
resident and healthcare revenue of $0.8 million relating to a community that was
sold at the end of the third  quarter of fiscal  2003.  Unaffiliated  management
services  revenue in 2004 was  derived  from the  management  of 15 third  party
communities,  14 of which were  assumed  during  the third  quarter of 2004 as a
result of the Company's  acquisition  of CGIM.  Affiliated  management  services
revenue  decreased $0.2 million or 24.4%  primarily as a result of the Company's
consolidation of Triad I.

Expenses.  Total expenses were $21.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004
compared to $18.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003,  representing  an
increase of $3.6 million or 19.8%.  This  increase is primarily  the result of a
$2.4 million increase in operating expenses,  a $0.7 million increase in general
and  administrative  expenses and a $0.5 million  increase in  depreciation  and
amortization  expense.  Operating expenses increased $2.6 million as a result of
the  Company's  consolidation  of  Triad I and  increased  $0.1  million  at the
Company's other communities,  offset by a decrease of $0.3 million relating to a
community that was sold during fiscal 2003. General and administrative  expenses
increased $0.6 million as a result of the consolidation of Triad I and increased
$0.2 million as a result of increases at the  Company's  other  communities  and
increases in corporate  overhead offset by a decrease of $0.1 million related to
a community that was sold in fiscal 2003.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of the consolidation of Triad I.

Other income and expense.  Interest  income  decreased  $0.3 million or 66.7% to
$0.1 million in the third quarter of 2004 due to the Company's  consolidation of
Triad I. The Company earned $0.3 million in interest  income on loans to Triad I
during the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Interest expense increased $0.2 million
to $4.0  million in the third  quarter of 2004  compared to $3.8  million in the
third quarter of 2003.  This 6.3% increase in interest  expense is primarily the
result of higher debt  outstanding  in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 compared
to the third  quarter of fiscal 2003 due to $47.6  million of debt  consolidated
related to Triad I offset by $7.4 million of debt repaid  related to a community
sold during 2003 and $23.6 million of debt retired  during the first nine months
of fiscal 2004. Other income decreased $3.1 million to $0.1 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2004  compared to $3.2 million in the third  quarter of fiscal
2003. This decrease in other income primarily results from a decrease in gain on
sale of assets of $2.9  million  and a  decrease  in equity in the  earnings  of
affiliates  of $0.1  million.  Gain on sale of assets in the  third  quarter  of
fiscal 2004  reflects the sale of the raw land for net proceeds of $0.6 million,
which resulted in the  recognition of a $0.2 million gain on sale.  Gain on sale
of  assets  in the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2003  reflects  the  sale of the
Carmichael  community to SHP and the sale of Crenshaw  Creek  community  for net
proceeds of $4.7 million,  which  resulted in the  recognition of a $3.1 million
gain on sale.  Equity in the earnings of  affiliates  represents  the  Company's
share of the  earnings and losses on its  investments  in BRE/CSL and the Spring
Meadows Communities.

Provision/benefit  for  income  taxes.  Benefit  for  income  taxes in the third
quarter of fiscal 2004 was $0.3 million or 19.3% of loss before taxes,  compared
to a provision  for income taxes of $0.2 million or 37.9% of income before taxes
in the third  quarter  of fiscal  2003.  The  effective  tax rates for the third
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
third  quarter of fiscal 2004  include  $0.8  million in net losses  incurred by
Triad I, which has been consolidated under the provisions of FIN 46.

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

Net income.  As a result of the foregoing  factors,  net income  decreased  $1.7
million to a net loss of $1.4 million for the three months ended  September  30,
2004,  as compared to a net income of $0.3  million for the three  months  ended
September 30, 2003.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2003

Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $69.3
million  compared to $47.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

representing an increase of approximately  $21.9 million or 46.2%. This increase
in revenue is primarily the result of a $23.1  million  increase in resident and
healthcare  revenue offset by a decrease in affiliated  management  fees of $1.0
million and a decrease in  affiliated  development  fee revenue of $0.2 million.
The increase in resident and  healthcare  revenue  reflects an increase of $13.7
million from the acquisition of the Triad Entities (12 communities), an increase
of $11.1 million from the  consolidation  of Triad I (five  communities  and two
expansions)  under the  provisions  of FIN 46, and an increase at the  Company's
other  communities  of  $2.3  million  offset  by a  decrease  in  resident  and
healthcare revenue of $4.0 million relating to two communities that were sold at
the end of the second and third quarters of fiscal 2003. Unaffiliated management
services  revenue in 2004 was  derived  from the  management  of 15 third  party
communities,  14 of which were  assumed  during  the third  quarter of 2004 as a
result of the Company's  acquisition of CGIM.  Unaffiliated  management services
revenue in fiscal 2003  resulted from the  settlement  of a management  contract
with Buckner.  Affiliated  management  services  revenue  decreased $1.0 million
primarily as a result of the Company's acquisition of the Triad Entities and the
consolidation of Triad I.

Expenses.  Total  expenses  in the first nine  months of fiscal  2004 were $64.6
million  compared  to $41.9  million  in the first nine  months of fiscal  2003,
representing  an increase of $22.7 million or 54.3%.  This increase is primarily
the result of a $15.8  million  increase in operating  expenses,  a $3.2 million
increase in general and  administrative  expenses and a $3.7 million increase in
depreciation and amortization expense. Operating expenses increased $8.9 million
as a result of the Company's acquisition of the Triad Entities, $8.0 million due
to the  consolidation  of  Triad  I and  $0.9  million  at the  Company's  other
communities offset by a decrease of $2.0 million relating to the two communities
that were sold during fiscal 2003. General and administrative expenses increased
$2.2 million as a result of the  Company's  acquisition  of the Triad  Entities,
$1.6  million due to the  consolidation  of Triad I offset by a decrease of $0.3
million  relating to the two  communities  that were sold during fiscal 2003 and
$0.3 million relating to the Company's other communities and corporate overhead.
Depreciation and amortization  expense increased $2.5 million as a result of the
Company's   acquisition  of  the  Triad  Entities,   $1.4  million  due  to  the
consolidation  of Triad I and $0.1 million at the  Company's  other  communities
offset by a decrease of $0.3 million  relating to the two communities  that were
sold during 2003.

Other income and expense.  Interest  income  decreased  $3.4 million or 87.9% to
$0.5  million  in the first  nine  months of fiscal  2004  primarily  due to the
Company's  acquisition of the Triad Entities and the  consolidation  of Triad I.
The  Company  earned  $3.2  million  in  interest  income  on loans to the Triad
Entities  and Triad I during  the first  nine  months of fiscal  2003.  Interest
expense increased $3.0 million to $11.9 million in the first nine months of 2004
compared to $8.9 million in the first nine months of 2003.  This 33.3%  increase
in interest  expense is primarily the result of higher debt  outstanding  in the
first nine months of fiscal 2004  compared to the same period of 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 $23.6  million of debt  retired  during the first nine months of
fiscal 2004.  Other income  decreased  $6.4 million to $0.3 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 2004  compared to $6.7 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2003. This decrease in other income primarily  results from a decrease in
gain on sale of assets of $6.4 million. Gain on sale of assets in the first nine
months of fiscal 2004 reflects the sale of the raw land for net proceeds of $0.6
million,  which resulted in the recognition of a $0.2 million gain on sale. Gain
on  sale  of  assets  in  fiscal  2003  reflects  the  sale/contribution  of the
Cottonwood  community to BRE/CSL,  sale of the Company's Carmichael community to
SHP, the sale of the  Company's  Crenshaw  Creek  community  and the sale of one
parcel  of land  for  net  proceeds  of  $8.2  million,  which  resulted  in the
recognition of a $6.6 million gain on sale. Equity in the earnings of affiliates
represents the Company's  share of the earnings and losses on its investments in
BRE/CSL and the Spring Meadows Communities.

Provision/benefit  for income taxes.  Benefit for income taxes in the first nine
months of fiscal 2004 was $1.4 million or 22.1% of loss before  taxes,  compared
to a provision  for income taxes of $2.8 million or 38.0% of income before taxes
in the first nine months of fiscal 2003.  The  effective tax rates for the first
nine  months 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  nine  months of fiscal  2004  include  $2.5  million in net losses
incurred by Triad I, which has been consolidated under the provisions of FIN 46.

Minority interest.  Minority interest  represents the minority holder's share of
the losses incurred by HCP.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income.  As a result of the foregoing  factors,  net income  decreased  $9.5
million to a net loss of $5.0  million for the nine months ended  September  30,
2004,  as  compared to a net income of $4.5  million  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In  addition  to  approximately  $17.1  million of cash  balances  on hand as of
September 30, 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 $17.1 million in cash balances, $0.6
million  relates to cash held by HCP. The Company  expects its  available  cash,
cash flow 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,
subject to the Company's  ability to refinance  and/or amend  certain debt.  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.

During the third  quarter of 2004,  the Company  extended  the maturity on $29.7
million of loans with GMAC from  September 2005 to December 2005. The Company is
currently  working  with GMAC to refinance  these loans and the Company  expects
these  loans to be  refinanced  during the fourth  quarter  of fiscal  2004.  In
addition,  the Company  classified  $34.8  million of debt maturing in September
2005 with  Freddie Mac as a current  liability as of  September  30,  2004.  The
classification  of this debt as current  resulted  in the  Company  violating  a
certain loan covenant  with two of its lenders.  The Company has received a loan
modification  eliminating the violation from one of its lenders and a waiver for
the third quarter of 2004 from its other  lender.  The Company is in the process
of evaluating various alternatives to permit it to meet its current obligations,
including  entering  into  refinancing   arrangements,   amending  current  debt
agreements and other possible  actions.  The Company believes it has the ability
to meet its obligations for at least one year.

The Company had net cash  provided by operating  activities  of $1.4 million and
$2.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively.  In
the first nine months of fiscal 2004, net cash provided by operating  activities
was primarily derived from net noncash charges of $10.7 million, and an increase
in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.5 million offset by a net loss of
$5.0 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $0.2 million, an increase in
property  tax and  insurance  deposits of $0.6  million,  an increase in prepaid
expenses of $1.8 million,  an increase in other assets of $0.7  million,  and an
increase in federal and state  income tax  receivable  of $2.5  million.  In the
first nine months of fiscal 2003, net cash provided by operating  activities was
primarily  derived from net income of $4.5  million,  a decrease in property tax
and  insurance  deposits of $0.3  million,  a decrease  in other  assets of $0.4
million and a decrease  in federal and state  income  taxes  receivable  of $1.7
million, offset by net noncash benefits of $0.8 million, an increase in accounts
receivable  of $1.3  million,  an increase  in prepaid and other  assets of $1.2
million,  and a decrease  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses  of $1.2
million.

The Company had net cash used in investing  activities  of $3.8 million and $0.5
million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 and 2003,  respectively.  In the
nine  months  of fiscal  2004,  the net cash used in  investing  activities  was
primarily the result of cash paid of $2.3 million for the  acquisition  of CGIM,
advances of $0.3 million to affiliates, and capital expenditures of $1.7 million
offset by net  proceeds  of $0.5  million  from the sale of a parcel of land and
proceeds from limited  partnerships of $0.1 million. In the first nine months of
fiscal 2003,  net cash used in investing  activities was primarily the result of
advances to affiliates of $7.7 million, and capital expenditures of $1.3 million
offset by net proceeds of $5.1 million from the sale of two  communities and one
parcel of land, net proceeds of $3.1 million from the contribution of Cottonwood
to BRE/CSL, $0.2 million relating to distributions from BRE/CSL and $0.1 million
in net cash acquired from the  acquisition  of the Triad  Entities.  Advances to
affiliates  include  loans  made to Triad I and the Triad  Entities  along  with
interest  earned on loans to Triad I, the Triad  Entities and the Spring Meadows
Communities.

The Company had net cash  provided by financing  activities  of $12.9 million in
the first nine  months of fiscal  2004  compared  to net cash used in  financing

activities  of $4.9  million in the first nine  months of fiscal  2003.  For the
first nine months 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 $0.3  million  and  proceeds  from the  release  of  restricted  cash of $1.0
million,  offset by net  repayments of notes payable of $20.6  million.  For the
first  nine  months  of  fiscal  2003,  net cash  used in  financing  activities
primarily  results  from  net  repayments  of  notes  payable  of $4.7  million,
distributions  to minority  partners of $0.1 million and  deferred  loan charges
paid of $0.2  million  offset by proceeds  from the  exercise of common stock of
$0.1 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 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.  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.

Effective  August 18, 2004, the Company acquired from CGT all of the outstanding
stock of CGT's wholly owned subsidiary,  CGIM.  Capital paid  approximately $2.3
million in cash and issued a note for  approximately  $1.4  million,  subject to
various adjustments set forth in the purchase  agreement,  to acquire all of the
outstanding   stock  of  CGIM.  The  note  is  due  in  three   installments  of
approximately  $0.3  million,  $0.4  million and $0.7  million due on the first,
third and fifth anniversaries of the closing, respectively, subject to reduction
if the  management  fees  earned from the third  party  owned  communities  with
various terms are  terminated and not replaced by substitute  agreements  during
the period,  and certain other  adjustments.  This  acquisition  resulted in the
Company assuming the management contracts on 14 senior living communities with a
combined  resident capacity of approximately  1,800 residents.  The resident mix
for the communities related to the CGIM management  contracts is 78% independent
living and 22%  assisted  living.  In  addition,  the  Company  has the right to
acquire  seven  of  the  properties  owned  by CGT  (which  are  part  of the 14
communities  managed  by CGIM)  based on sales  prices  specified  in the  stock
purchase agreement.  The Company has not completed its analysis of this purchase
and  the  purchase  accounting   information   disclosed  should  be  considered
preliminary.

The purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):

              Tangible assets acquired                     $      954
              Tangible liabilities assumed                       (954)

The intangible  contract rights are being amortized to expense over the expected
life of the management contracts acquired from CGIM.

In September 2003, the Company sold its Carmichael  community to a subsidiary of
SHP, a fund managed by  Prudential , for $11.7 million  before  closing costs of
$0.6  million.   Carmichael  is  an  independent  living  community  located  in

                                       18

Sacramento,  California with a resident capacity of 156. As a result of the sale
the Company  retired $7.4 million in debt and received  $3.6 million in cash and
recognized a gain of $3.1 million.  The Company manages the Carmichael community
for SHP under a long-term management contract.

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 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 the
Company  recognized  equity in the  earnings of BRE/CSL of $0.2  million.  As of
September 30, 2004, 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 and for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 the Company recognized equity in the losses
of the Spring Meadows  Communities of $0.1 million.  The Company has managed the
Spring Meadows  Communities since the opening of each community in late 2000 and
early 2001. 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 nine months 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,
which 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 first quarter of fiscal 2004.  Prior to adopting FIN
46 the Company accounted for Triad I under the equity method of accounting.

As of  September  30, 2004,  the Company was in  violation of certain  financial
covenants  relating to two  communities in Triad I.  Subsequent to September 30,
2004,  Triad I received a waiver from its lender  relating  these two  financial
covenant violations.

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,  extended  its  agreement to December 1, 2004 to withdraw as a
partner in the Triad I partnership  to the extent it has received  distributions
in an amount  equal to its capital  contributions  of $12.4  million.  If Lehman
Brothers has not withdrawn as a partner by December 1, 2004, Lehman Brothers may
be entitled to certain rights under the Triad I partnership agreement.

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 purchase price was allocated as follows:

              Net cash acquired                               $     122

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,"

reasonable rates, and changes in accounting principles and interpretations among
others,  and  other  risks  and  factors  identified  from  time  to time in the
Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 September  30, 2004 the Company had $260.2  million in
outstanding  debt comprised of various fixed and variable rate debt  instruments
of $71.2 million and $189.0 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 September
30, 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 $25.2
million  notional  amounts of  indebtedness  at September 30, 2004. The interest
rate swap  agreements  resulted in the Company  recognizing  an additional  $0.2
million and $0.7 million in interest  expense during the third quarter and first
nine months of fiscal 2004, respectively.

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 nine  months of fiscal  2004,  the  Company  recognized  other
comprehensive loss of $0.7 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 nine months ended September
30, 2004 was $5.7 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.

As  required  by Section  404 of the  Sarbanes  Oxley Act of 2002,  the  Company
continues  to test and evaluate our  internal  control  procedures  to determine
whether our controls are designed and operating effectively. The requirements of
Section 404 have caused most public  companies  to  substantially  increase  the

documentation of internal controls and to implement  additional  controls.  As a
result of the Company's  testing and  evaluation  performed to date, the Company
has noted that improvements  could be made in the Company's  internal  controls.
The Company believes that adequate  compensating  controls exist in these areas;
however,  the Company has developed  plans and is  implementing  improvements or
additional  control  procedures.  The Company has disclosed these matters to the
audit  committee  of the  Company's  board  of  directors  and to the  Company's
independent auditors.  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

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.

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.
