Note 1.  Basis of Presentation and Organization

The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  of Five  Star
Quality  Care,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries  have been  prepared  without  audit.
Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  required by generally  accepted
accounting  principles for complete financial  statements have been condensed or
omitted.  We believe the  disclosures  made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.  However, the accompanying financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2001. In the opinion
of  our  management,  all  adjustments,  which  include  only  normal  recurring
adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair presentation,  have been included.
All intercompany  transactions and balances between us and our subsidiaries have
been eliminated.  Our operating  results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Until  December 31, 2001, we were a wholly owned  subsidiary  of Senior  Housing
Properties  Trust  ("Senior  Housing").  On December  31, 2001,  Senior  Housing
distributed   substantially  all  of  our  common  shares  to  Senior  Housing's
shareholders (the "Spin-Off"). We entered into a transaction agreement to govern
our initial capitalization and other events related to the Spin-Off. Pursuant to
the transaction  agreement,  our initial  capitalization  was provided by Senior
Housing and we entered into a lease  agreement  with Senior  Housing for certain
facilities.  On January 2, 2002,  we  acquired  FSQ,  Inc.  in a stock for stock
transaction.  On January 11, 2002,  we entered into a lease with Senior  Housing
for 31 independent  and assisted living  communities  managed by a subsidiary of
Marriott   International,   Inc.,   Marriott   Senior  Living   Services,   Inc.
("Marriott").  In March  and April  2002,  we  completed  a public  offering  of
3,823,300  common shares  raising net proceeds of $26,114.  On April 1, 2002, we
purchased and began to operate five  additional  independent and assisted living
communities.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

REVENUE  RECOGNITION.  Our  revenues  are  derived  primarily  from  services to
residents at  properties we own or lease.  We accrue  revenues when services are
provided  and revenues  are earned.  Some of our services are provided  with the
expectation  of payment from  governments  or other third party payors;  related
revenues are reported at their estimated net realizable  amounts at the time the
services are provided.

RESERVES  FOR ACCOUNTS  RECEIVABLE.  Accounts  receivable  are recorded at their
estimated  net  realizable  value.  In the case of  receivables  generated  from
residents,  reserves for uncollectible amounts are estimated based upon factors,
which include but are not limited to the age of the  receivable and the terms of
our agreements with residents or their third party payors.  In the case of other
receivables,  such as those due to us from various governments or other entities
with  which we have  transacted  business,  reserves  are  estimated  based upon
factors  which include but are not limited to our  agreements  with such payors,
their stated  intent to pay,  their  financial  capacity and other  developments
which may include litigation or other proceedings.  Accounts receivable reserves
are only estimates and we periodically  review and revise these  estimates.  Our
review and revision process subjects these reserves to future  adjustments based
on new information and these adjustments may be material.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP") requires management to
make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

INCOME TAXES. Prior to the Spin-Off, substantially all of our taxable income was
included in the taxable income of Senior Housing.  After the Spin-Off,  we are a
separate entity and are responsible for our own tax liabilities and filings. For
the nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 2001 and 2002, we generated  losses
for  income tax  purposes  which  created a net  operating  loss carry  forward.
Because  we  have a  short  separate  operating  history  during  which  we have
generated  no  taxable  income,  we have  fully  reserved  the value of this net
operating  loss  carry  forward.  As a result,  we have  recorded  no income tax
benefit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002.

                                   (Unaudited)

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

PER COMMON SHARE  AMOUNTS.  Loss per share for the periods  ended  September 30,
2002,  are computed  using the  weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding
during the periods.  Earnings  (loss) per share for the periods ended  September
30, 2001, have been computed as if the shares  outstanding at December 31, 2001,
were  outstanding  as of January 1, 2001.  We have no common share  equivalents,
instruments convertible into common shares or other dilutive instruments.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.  In 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations", SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No.
144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets".  We
adopted these pronouncements on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these standards
did  not  have a  material  effect  on our  financial  position  or  results  of
operations. See footnote 6 regarding discontinued operations.

RESTRICTED  CASH.  Restricted cash includes $3,860 we have deposited as security
for letters of credit which  secure  obligations  arising from our  professional
liability  insurance program.  Restricted cash also includes $518 we escrowed as
required by certain healthcare regulatory agencies.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT.  Property and equipment is stated at cost. We depreciate
furniture, fixtures and equipment on a straight line basis over five to 12 years
and buildings on a straight line basis over 40 years.

IMPAIRMENT.  When conditions or events occur that we believe might indicate that
property or other long lived  assets are  impaired,  an  analysis  of  estimated
future  undiscounted  cash flows is undertaken to determine if any write down of
the carrying value of the asset is required. In the quarter ended June 30, 2002,
we wrote  off the  carrying  value of  certain  assets  that we  believed  to be
impaired.

SELF  INSURANCE.  We are self  insured  up to  certain  retained  limits for our
workers compensation,  professional liability,  and, as of August 2002, employee
health insurance. Claims in excess of these retained limits are insured by third
party  insurance  providers  up to  contractual  limits,  over which we are self
insured. We accrue the estimated cost of self insured amounts based on projected
settlements  for pending  claims,  known incidents which we expect may result in
claims,  estimates  of incurred but not yet reported  claims and  incidents  and
expected  changes in premiums  for  insurance  provided by third party  insurers
where our  policies  provide for  retroactive  adjustments.  Periodically  these
accrued estimates are adjusted based upon our claims experience, recommendations
from our  professional  consultants,  changes  in  market  conditions  and other
factors and these adjustments may be material.

RESTRUCTURING  COSTS. During 2002, we reduced the number of our regional offices
and  had  staff  reductions  in  our  home  office.  As a  result,  we  incurred
restructuring costs for severance payments to terminated employees.

WORKING CAPITAL ADVANCES.  Under the terms of the management  agreements for the
communities  managed by Marriott we provide  Marriott  with the working  capital
needed to meet the  operating  needs of the  communities.  The working  capital,
which  consists  primarily  of cash and  cash  equivalents,  inventories,  trade
accounts  receivable  and accounts  payable,  is  controlled  and  maintained by
Marriott on our behalf.  Accordingly,  we include the  individual  components of
working capital for the Marriott  managed  communities  (including cash and cash
equivalents of $5,126 at September 30, 2002) in our consolidated balance sheet.

RECLASSIFICATIONS.   Reclassifications  have  been  made  to  the  prior  year's
financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation.

Note 3.  Long Term Liabilities

The long term  liabilities  on our  September  30, 2002,  balance  sheet include
$12,544 of advance  payments  received from residents at some of our communities
managed by Marriott.  These  prepayments  are  amortized  into revenues over the
periods in which the service  obligations  are  expected to be  satisfied.  Also
included in long term liabilities as of September 30, 2002 is $2,404 of reserves
related to our self insurance programs.

                                   (Unaudited)

Note 4.  Acquisitions and Pro Forma Results

On  January  11,  2002,  we  entered  into a lease with  Senior  Housing  for 31
retirement  communities which contain 7,491 living units.  These communities are
managed by Marriott under  agreements for terms generally  expiring in 2027 plus
renewal options for one five year period. Marriott has responsibility for day to
day operations of these communities.  These 31 retirement communities are leased
from Senior Housing through 2017, with renewal options totaling an additional 15
years.  The minimum rent payable by us for these facilities is $63,000 per year.
As part of our lease obligations and in accordance with the Marriott  management
agreements,  we  make  deposits  into  an  escrow  account  for  future  capital
expenditures at these 31 communities. These deposits, totaling $1,865 and $5,374
for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30,  2002,  respectively,  are
included as part of rent expense in the accompanying statement of operations. In
addition, percentage rent will be payable, starting in 2003, in amounts equal to
five  percent  (5%) of  revenues  at each of these 31  facilities  in  excess of
revenues at such facility in 2002.

On April 1,  2002,  we  purchased  and began to  operate  five  independent  and
assisted living communities containing 704 units for approximately $46,000.

Had we entered  into the lease with  Senior  Housing  for the  Marriott  managed
communities and acquired the five retirement  communities as of January 1, 2001,
on a pro forma basis, our revenues and (loss) income from continuing  operations
would have been  $393,927 and $(5,255) for the nine months ended  September  30,
2002,  and  $328,077 and $6,642 for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2001,
respectively.

Note 5.   Shareholders' Equity

On March 26, 2002, we issued 3,700,000 common shares, in an underwritten  public
offering, for gross proceeds of approximately $27,600. Proceeds received, net of
underwriting commissions and other costs, were $25,251.

On April 5, 2002, the  underwriters for our March 2002 offering of common shares
exercised an over allotment option and we issued 123,300 common shares for gross
proceeds of $919. Proceeds received,  net of underwriting  commissions and other
costs, were $863.

On May 7, 2002, we issued 1,000 common shares to each of our five directors,  as
part of their  annual  compensation.  The shares were valued at $7.10 per share,
which was the closing price of our common shares on the American  Stock Exchange
on May 7, 2002.

Note 6.  Discontinued Operations

During the second  quarter of 2002, we ceased  operations at two leased  nursing
homes: one facility in Phoenix,  Arizona,  which was leased from Senior Housing;
and one facility in Campbell, Nebraska, which was leased from that municipality.
The Arizona  facility was closed.  The operations of the Nebraska  facility were
assumed by its owner. As of September 30, 2002,  substantially all of our assets
and liabilities related to these nursing homes have been disposed of and paid.

During  the three  months  ended  September  30,  2002,  we  decided to sell one
additional  nursing home located in  Connecticut.  Until this decision,  we were
exploring  alternative  uses for this  property,  including the  possibility  of
developing  age  restricted  housing at this  facility.  Our decision to abandon
these  efforts and sell this  property  resulted in our  classification  of this
facility  as a  discontinued  operation.  The  shut  down of this  facility  was
accomplished  pursuant  to  an  agreement  with,  and  authorization  from,  the
Connecticut  Department of Social Services.  That agreement provides for certain
Medicaid rate  adjustments  to compensate for shut down losses  attributable  to
Medicaid patients who were resident at the facility. We recorded a receivable of
approximately  $1,450 of expected  Medicaid rate adjustments for these shut down
costs.  In  November  2002,  we received a revised  notice from the  Connecticut
Medicaid  authorities  that rate  adjustments  totaling about only $693 would be
authorized.  We are continuing to pursue  collection of the full shut down costs
attributable  to  Medicaid  residents  of $1,450.  However,  we have  provided a
reserve for this receivable equal to the difference  between the accrued amounts
and the adjustment established by the

included in the loss from  discontinued  operations  for the three  months ended
September  30, 2002.  In addition,  during the quarter  ended June 30, 2002,  we
recorded  an  asset  impairment  charge  of  $1,499  related  to this  facility,
primarily  because  a prior  agreement  to sell  some of our  available  skilled
nursing bed licenses did not close.

The financial  statements for all periods  presented have been  reclassified  to
present these facilities as discontinued  operations.  Below is a summary of the

Note 7.  Commitments and Contingencies

Connecticut  Strike  Costs.  During  2001,  nursing  homes that we  operated  in
Connecticut  were involved in a statewide  labor  dispute.  During a strike,  we
incurred costs to hire  temporary  staff and provide  security  services for our
residents  and  temporary  employees.  At  about  the time of this  strike,  the
Governor of Connecticut and the Connecticut Department of Social Services stated
and agreed to adjust  Medicaid rates  temporarily to compensate for a portion of
these increased costs.  Litigation was brought by the striking union against the
Governor  and  Commissioner  of the  Department  of  Social  Services,  and,  on
September 13, 2002, the United States  District Court for  Connecticut  issued a
declaratory  ruling that Medicaid  subsidies other than those to reimburse costs
incurred to protect the health and safety of residents are violations of federal
labor law. The Connecticut Department of Social Services continues to review and
process our claims for these adjustments, which total approximately $1,500 as of
September 30, 2002.  Also, we received and  recognized as revenue  approximately
$350 of such payments in 2001. In the event that the  Connecticut  Department of
Social  Services  determines  not to make  payments  or seeks  reimbursement  of
payments  previously made, and our defenses and claims are not fully successful,
we may incur related  losses in the future.  We intend to vigorously  pursue our
claims.

Receivables  from  Integrated  Health  Services.  During  2000,  we assumed  the
operations of 40 nursing homes from Integrated Health Services, Inc. and certain
related entities  (together "IHS"), a company in bankruptcy.  Because of complex
legal and governmental processes necessary to transfer nursing home licenses and
Medicare and Medicaid payment  arrangements,  IHS agreed that any payments which
it received for  services  which we provided  would be paid to us by IHS.  These
agreements  were approved by the bankruptcy  court and generally  honored by IHS
with  respect to  approximately  $42,000  received  by IHS for our  account.  We
believe IHS has received an additional $2,400 which is due to us and this amount
is included in our accounts  receivable at September 30, 2002.  When IHS refused
to pay this amount we  commenced  suit in the  bankruptcy  court in August 2002.
Recently settlement  discussions have begun. We intend to vigorously pursue this
claim,  but we can not predict the outcome of this  litigation,  the  settlement
discussion  or our ability to collect  amounts  which are due from IHS. If we do
not collect this claim our uncollected amounts, less applicable reserves, may be
recorded as a loss in future periods.

Marriott Management Agreements. As described above, we lease 31 communities with
7,491 living units from Senior Housing which are managed by Marriott pursuant to
various management agreements . The financial results realized by us at these 31
communities   have   declined   during   2002.   Recently,   however,   Marriott
International,  Inc. has stated that its profits from its senior living business
in 2002 have been  improving  and that it is  considering  divesting  its senior
living  business.  Also,  we are aware  that some  owners of hotels  managed  by
Marriott International have brought

litigation  to  challenge  the cost  allocations  to their hotels and to capture
certain  profits  realized by Marriott  International  from their  hotels.  As a
result, in July 2002, we and Senior Housing asked Marriott to explain allocation
formulas for costs shared by our  communities and other  businesses  operated by
affiliates  of  Marriott  International,  to  justify  certain  charges to these
communities, to detail profits made by affiliates of Marriott International from
purchases  directed by Marriott  for the  account of these  communities  and for
additional  information  and  actions.  In September  2002,  in response to this
inquiry  Marriott  paid $409 to us and  provided  us with some of the  requested
information.  We sent follow up inquires to Marriott in early  October  2002. We
have not had a comprehensive  response from Marriott,  and on November 13, 2002,
our counsel sent a notice of default to Marriott.  These  management  agreements
provide that Marriott may seek to cure certain  defaults within stated times. We
are continuing to pursue these inquires. We intend to carefully monitor Marriott
International's divestment efforts, the responses we receive to our inquires and
any Marriott  cure efforts,  and to enforce all rights and remedies  relative to
these 31 communities.

Note 8.  Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2002, certain Medicare rate adjustments  expired.  This expiration
is sometimes referred to as the "Medicare Cliff". Legislation is currently being
considered which, if enacted, would extend these Medicare rate adjustments. As a
result of the expiration of these Medicare rate adjustments,  unless legislation
is enacted to extend the expired  adjustments  or  otherwise  increase  Medicare
rates, and assuming our current census of Medicare  residents remains about what
it was during the three months  ended  September  30,  2002,  we expect that the
revenues we receive from Medicare may decline by approximately $5,300 per annum.

On October 24,  2002,  we entered into an  agreement  for a three year  $12,500,
interest only, revolving credit facility. The interest rate under this revolving
credit facility is calculated as a spread above LIBOR. The revolving bank credit
facility is available for  acquisitions,  working  capital and general  business
purposes.  The credit facility is secured by some of our accounts receivable and
contains certain covenants such as maintenance of collateral,  minimum net worth
and certain  other  financial  ratios.  As of  November 13, 2002,  there were no
amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

On  October  25,  2002,  we  acquired  seven  independent  and  assisted  living
communities for approximately  $27,000. These communities contain 407 units. One
hundred  percent  (100%) of the  revenue at these  seven  properties  is paid by
residents or their families from their private resources. One of the communities
is subject to HUD insured  mortgage debt of approximately  $15,800.  We paid the
$11,200 balance of the purchase price in cash. Also on October 25, 2002, we sold
one senior living property to Senior Housing for  approximately  $12,700,  which
was our approximate purchase price of that facility on April 1, 2002, and leased
this  property  along with eight other  senior  living  properties,  from Senior
Housing.  These eight communities contain 609 units, the annual rent due from us
to Senior Housing is $6,285 and the lease term extends to 2019.

Also,  on October 25, 2002,  we agreed to modify the  existing  lease for the 31
Marriott  managed  properties  leased from Senior Housing (see Note 4). Prior to
this lease  modification,  we were required to make  periodic  deposits of funds
into an  escrow  account  for  future  capital  expenditures  at these 31 leased
properties.  These  deposits  were paid to Senior  Housing and were  recorded as
additional rent expense on our consolidated statement of operations. As a result
of this  modification,  effective October 1, 2002, we will own deposits in these
escrow  accounts and Senior Housing will have a security and remainder  interest
in  these  accounts  and in all  property  purchased  with  funding  from  these
accounts.  The amounts and use of these escrow  accounts  are  unchanged by this
amendment;  however  subsequent  to September  30, 2002, we will not report rent
expense arising from these deposits.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We were a subsidiary of Senior Housing until December 31, 2001. The 2001 results
discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are for a period during which we
were a  subsidiary  of Senior  Housing and they are not  indicative  of what our
results would have been as a separate  public  company.  Similarly these results
are not  indicative  of our future  financial  performance.  Our 2002 results of
operations  presented in this  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q differ  materially
from the 2001  historical  results  presented.  There are  material  differences
because our current  operations  include,  among other  items,  rent  expense on
leases to Senior Housing,  general and administrative  costs incurred by us as a
separate  public  company,  revenues and expenses  related to the 31 communities
managed by Marriott Senior Living Services,  Inc.  ("Marriott") and revenues and
expenses related to five communities we purchased on April 1, 2002.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002,  Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 2001

Revenues  from  residents for the three months ended  September  30, 2002,  were
$132.8  million,  an  increase of 138% over  revenues  from  residents  of $56.0
million for the 2001 third quarter.  This increase is attributable  primarily to
our lease of 31  communities  on January  11,  2002,  and our  purchase  of five
communities  on April 1, 2002.  Revenues from  residents at the  communities  we
operated throughout each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and
2001,  were $58.9 and $56.0  million,  respectively,  an  increase  of 5%.  This
increase is due primarily to higher per diem charges to residents. Revenues from
residents at the 90 communities  we operated at September 30, 2002,  were $132.8
million for the three months ended  September  30, 2002,  an increase of 2% over
revenues  from  residents of $130.3  million for the  comparable  period in 2001
(including  revenues  which relate to periods  prior to our operation of some of
these  communities).  This increase is attributable  to higher resident  charges
offset  somewhat by slightly  lower  occupancy.  About 40% of our revenues  from
residents in the three months ended  September  30,  2002,  were  received  from
Medicare and Medicaid,  compared to 79% in the 2001 period. This decrease is due
largely to our lease of 31 and purchase of five communities  during 2002, all of
which focus our services to residents who pay with private resources. On October
1, 2002,  temporary  increases in Medicare  payment rates expired.  Our Medicare
revenues  totaled $13.9  million and $9.6 million  during the three months ended
September  30, 2002 and 2001,  respectively.  As a result of these  expirations,
sometimes referred to as the "Medicare Cliff", and unless or until Medicare rate
increases are  reinstated,  or other  Medicare  rate  increases are taken by the
Federal  government,  our  revenues  from  Medicare  are  likely to be less than
previous  amounts.  We cannot  predict  the exact  amount of the  decline in our
Medicare revenue, but we expect it will be about $5.3 million per annum. We also
cannot predict whether the Federal  government will provide any reinstatement or
other Medicare rate increases.

Interest  income  increased by $12,000 in the three months ended  September  30,
2002  compared to the  comparable  period in 2001 due to earnings on higher cash
balances in the 2002 period.

Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2002, were $134.6 million,  an
increase of 147% over expenses of $54.5 million for the 2001 third quarter.  Our
wages and benefits costs increased from $38.4 million to $59.5 million,  or 55%,
primarily  due to  expenses  at the 31  leased  and five  purchased  communities
discussed   above.   Other   operating   expenses,   which  include   utilities,
housekeeping,  dietary, maintenance, insurance and facility level administrative
costs,  rose from $12.7 million to $46.3 million or 265%, again primarily due to
expenses at our leased 31 and our five purchased  communities  discussed  above.
During  2001,  Marriott  did not  manage  any  communities  for us and we were a
subsidiary of Senior Housing and did not lease any facilities.  As a result,  we
did not incur  management  fees to  Marriott or rent  expense in 2001.  Facility
level operating expenses related to the communities we operated  throughout each
of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, were $53.6 million
and $51.2 million, respectively, an increase of 5%. This increase is principally
attributable to higher insurance premiums,  an increase in reserves for the self
funded  portion of our insurance  programs,  an increase in accounts  receivable
reserves and higher wage and benefit  costs,  which were  partially  offset by a
decrease in expenses from our reduced use of higher cost,  third party staffing.
Facility  level  operating  expenses at the 90  communities  that we operated at
September 30, 2002,

                                       10

were $110.7  million for the three months ended  September 30, 2002, an increase
of 5% over facility expenses of $105.3 million for the comparable period in 2001
(including  expenses  which relate to periods  prior to our operation of some of
these  communities).  This increase  results  principally  from higher insurance
premiums,  an increase in reserves for the self funded  portion of our insurance
programs,  an  increase  in  accounts  receivable  reserves  and higher wage and
benefit costs.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2002 were $3.6 million,  an increase of 24% over the 2001 period,  primarily due
to the increased costs  associated with operating as a separate,  larger company
that is publicly owned and the increased size of our operations in 2002.

Depreciation  expense  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2002,  was
$517,000,  an increase of 48% over depreciation  expense of $349,000 in the 2001
period.  The  increase  is  attributable  to our  purchase  of five  communities
discussed above.

Discontinued   operations   relate  to  three  closed   facilities.   Loss  from
discontinued  operations  for the three months  ended  September  30, 2002,  was
$826,000, an increase of $512,000, over the comparable 2001 period. The increase
in the loss was  primarily  a result  of our  cessation  of  revenue  generating
activities  and our provision for additional  reserves  recorded for amounts due
from the State of Connecticut  related to closure costs. We may close additional
facilities before the end of 2002.

As a result of the factors  described above, net loss for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, was $2.5 million,  compared to net income of $1.2 million in
the 2001 period.

Nine Months Ended  September 30, 2002,  Compared to Nine Months Ended  September
30, 2001

Revenues  from  residents  for the nine months ended  September  30, 2002,  were
$382.1  million,  an increase of 133% over  revenues  from  residents  of $164.1
million for the 2001  period.  This  increase is  attributable  primarily to our
lease  of 31  communities  on  January  11,  2002,  and  our  purchase  of  five
communities  on April 1, 2002.  Revenues from  residents at the  communities  we
operated  throughout each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and
2001,  were  $170.1 and $164.1  million,  respectively,  an increase of 4%. This
increase is due  primarily  to higher per diem  charges to  residents,  somewhat
offset  by  slightly  lower  occupancy.   Revenues  from  residents  at  the  90
communities we operated at September 30, 2002,  were $394.0 million for the nine
months ended  September 30, 2002, an increase of 3% over revenues from residents
of $382.4 million for the comparable  period in 2001  (including  revenues which
relate to periods  prior to our  operation of some of these  communities).  This
increase is  attributable  to higher  resident  charges offset somewhat by lower
occupancy.  About 39% of our  revenues  from  residents in the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, were received from Medicare and Medicaid, compared to 78% in
the 2001 period. This decrease is due largely to our lease of 31 and purchase of
five  communities  during 2002 all of which focus our services to residents  who
pay with private resources.  On October 1, 2002, temporary increases in Medicare
payment rates  expired.  Our Medicare  revenues  totaled $40.2 million and $26.6
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001,  respectively.
As a result of these expirations, sometimes referred to as the "Medicare Cliff",
and  unless or until rate  increases  are  reinstated,  or other  Medicare  rate
increases  are taken by the Federal  government,  our revenues from Medicare are
likely to be less than previous  amounts.  We cannot predict the exact amount of
the  decline  in our  Medicare  revenues,  but we expect  it will be about  $5.3
million per annum.  We also cannot predict  whether the Federal  government will
provide any reinstatement or other Medicare rate increase.

Interest  income  increased by $148,000 in the nine months ended  September  30,
2002  compared to the  comparable  period in 2001 due to earnings on higher cash
balances in the 2002 period.

Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,  were $392.0 million,  an
increase of 138% over expenses of $164.5 million for the 2001 period.  Our wages
and benefits  costs  increased from $114.0  million to $174.0  million,  or 60%,
primarily  due to  expenses  at the 31  leased  and five  purchased  communities
discussed   above.   Other   operating   expenses,   which  include   utilities,
housekeeping,  dietary, maintenance, insurance and facility level administrative
costs, rose from $36.9 million to $133.5 million or 262%, again primarily due to
expenses at our 31 leased and our five purchased  communities  discussed  above.
During  2001,  Marriott  did not  manage  any  communities  for us and we were a
subsidiary of Senior Housing that did not lease any facilities.  As a result, we
did not incur  management  fees to  Marriott or rent  expense in 2001.  Facility
level operating expenses related to the communities we operated  throughout each
of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, were $158.4 million
and  $150.5  million,   respectively,  an  increase  of  5%.  This  increase  is
principally  attributable to higher insurance premiums,  an

                                       11

increase in reserves for the self funded portion of our insurance programs,  and
higher  wage and benefit  costs,  which were  partially  offset by a decrease in
expenses  from our reduced use of higher cost,  third party  staffing.  Facility
level operating expenses at the 90 communities that we operated at September 30,
2002,  were $328.0  million for the nine months ended  September  30,  2002,  an
increase  of  7%  over   facility   expenses  for  the   comparable   period  in
2001(including  expenses  which relate to periods prior to our operation at some
off these communities).  This increase results principally from higher insurance
premiums,  an increase in reserves for the self funded  portion of our insurance
programs, and higher wage and benefit costs.

Our general and administrative  expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 were $11.2 million,  a decrease of 10% over the 2001 period,  primarily due
to non  recurring  operational  start up costs  incurred  during the 2001 period
which  were  only  partially  offset  by the  increased  costs  associated  with
operating as a separate, larger company that is publicly owned in 2002.

Our expenses  during the nine months ended  September 30, 2002,  period  include
some large  amounts  which we do not expect to occur on a regular  basis.  These
expenses arose as follows:

         o        In January we incurred $2.8 million of expenses related to our
                  spin off from Senior Housing and merger with FSQ, Inc.

         o        During  June  2002,  when  we  implemented  new  programs  for
                  liability, workers compensation and employee health insurance,
                  we re-evaluated our insurance reserves and increased estimates
                  for pending claims by $3.2 million.  Reserve  estimates  arise
                  from the  retention  or self funded  portion of our  insurance
                  programs. Reserve account adjustments are made on the basis of
                  periodic review of pending claims and reported incidents which
                  may  result  in  claims.   Our  new  insurance  programs  have
                  increased  costs by about  $450,000 per month starting in July
                  2002, but the $3.2 million change in reserve  estimates may be
                  non recurring.

         o        Also,  during the nine months  ended  September  30,  2002,  a
                  review by Marriott of its  accounting  for the 31  communities
                  which it  manages  for us  resulted  in a  change  in bad debt
                  reserves  and other one time  charges  totaling  approximately
                  $850,000.

         o        We incurred an asset impairment charge of $150,000 in the nine
                  months ended September 30, 2002.

         o        We incurred a $122,000 restructuring charge in the nine months
                  ended September 30, 2002.

Depreciation  expense for the nine months ended  September  30,  2002,  was $1.2
million,  an increase of 27% over the 2001 period.  The increase is attributable
to our purchase of five communities on April 1, 2002.

Loss from  discontinued  operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
was $3.5 million,  an increase of $3.1 million,  over the loss in the comparable
2001 period.  This increase was the result of additional  reserves  recorded for
amounts due from the State of Connecticut  related to closure costs and an asset
impairment  charge related to a closed  facility.  This increase was primarily a
result of our cessation of revenue  generating  activities and our provision for
reserves  discussed  above.  We may decide to close and  dispose  of  additional
facilities.

As a result of the factors  described  above, net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002,  was $13.2 million,  an increase of $12.4 million,  over the
loss in the 2001 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At the time of our spin off from Senior  Housing on December  31,  2001,  we had
cash and cash  equivalents  of  $24.9  million.  In March  and  April  2002,  we
completed a public  offering of our common shares  raising net proceeds of $26.1
million. A significant amount of our cash was used to acquire five senior living
communities  for $45.5  million on April 1, 2002.  At September 30, 2002, we had
cash and equivalents of $12.0 million, including $5.1 million of cash controlled
by Marriott.

Our  primary  source  of cash to fund  operating  expenses,  including  rent and
routine capital expenditures,  is our revenues from services to residents at our
facilities.  Changes in laws and  regulations  which impact Medicare or Medicaid
rates,  on which some of our facilities  rely, may materially  affect our future
results. Similarly, recent increases in the costs of insurance,  especially tort
liability  insurance,  workers compensation and employee health insurance costs,
which are

                                       12

affecting the senior living  industry,  will continue to have a material adverse
impact upon our future results of operations.  As discussed  above in footnote 7
to our financial  statements,  a failure by IHS or the State of  Connecticut  to
make payments that we believe are due to us would have a material adverse impact
upon our future  results  and deny us access to those cash  proceeds to which we
believe we are entitled.  It is also possible that  termination  of the Marriott
management  agreements,  as  discussed  in  that  footnote  7 to  our  financial
statements,  may have a short term adverse  impact on our  financial  results or
increase our working capital requirements. Despite these contingencies, however,
we believe that our revenues  and possible  borrowings  under our line of credit
will be sufficient to allow us to meet our ongoing operating  expenses,  working
capital needs and rent payments to Senior  Housing in the short term, or next 12
months, and long term.

On October 1, 2002,  temporary increases in Medicare payment rates expired. As a
result of these expirations,  sometimes referred to as the "Medicare Cliff", and
unless or until these rate  increases  are  reinstated,  or other  Medicare rate
increases  are taken by the Federal  government,  our revenues from Medicare are
likely to be less than previous  amounts.  We cannot predict the exact amount of
our expected decline of our Medicare revenue which will result from the Medicare
Cliff,  but we expect it to be  approximately  $5.3  million per annum.  We also
cannot predict whether the Federal  government will provide any reinstatement or
other Medicare rate increases.  The expansion of our business in 2002 by leasing
and  acquiring  facilities  which focus on services  to  residents  who pay with
private  resources may lessen the effect of Medicare rate declines on our future
results of operations.

On  October  24,  2002,  we  entered  into an  agreement  for a three year $12.5
million,  interest only, revolving credit facility.  The interest rate under our
revolving  credit facility is calculated as LIBOR plus a spread.  This revolving
credit facility is available for  acquisitions,  working capital and for general
business  purposes.  The credit  facility  is  secured  by some of our  accounts
receivable and contains  covenants,  such as maintenance of collateral,  minimum
net worth and  various  financial  ratios.  In  certain  circumstances,  amounts
available may be increased to $25 million.  As of November 12, 2002,  there were
no amounts outstanding under this revolving credit facility.

On  October  25,  2002,  we  acquired  seven  independent  and  assisted  living
communities with 407 living units for $27 million.  All of the revenues at these
communities  are paid by residents from private  resources.  This purchase price
was paid by our  assuming  $15.8  million  of HUD  insured  mortgage  debt which
encumbers one of these communities,  and our paying the balance of approximately
$11.2 million in cash.

On October 25, 2002,  we sold one senior living  community,  which we previously
owned  unencumbered  by mortgage debt, to Senior Housing for $12.7 million.  The
proceeds of this sale were used to fund the cash portion of our  purchase  price
for the seven  facilities we purchased on October 25, 2002,  and the balance was
added to our working capital for general business purposes.

Also on  October  25,  2002,  we entered a lease with  Senior  Housing  for nine
independent and assisted living communities,  including the one facility we sold
to Senior  Housing  and eight  additional  facilities.  These  nine  communities
include  750 living  units and all of the  revenues  which we expect  from these
communities  are paid by  residents  from  private  resources.  The lease has an
initial  term  expiring on December  31,  2019,  with an option to renew for one
renewal term of 15 years.  We agreed to pay Senior Housing minimum rent equal to
$6.3 million per year,  plus percentage rent starting in 2005. The terms of this
new lease are otherwise  substantially  the same as our other leases with Senior
Housing.

Debt Instruments and Covenants

At September 30, 2002, we had no  outstanding  obligations  for funded debt. The
long term  liabilities  which appear on our  September  30, 2002,  balance sheet
include $12.5 million of advance  payments and deposits  received from residents
at some of our senior  living  communities  plus  approximately  $2.4 million of
reserves arising from the self funded portion of our insurance programs.

As discussed  above,  on October 25, 2002, we assumed HUD insured  mortgage debt
for  approximately  $15.8 million.  The weighted  average interest costs on this
debt is 8.98% per year. Principal and interest is due periodically through 2033.
Although  this mortgage is not recourse to us, it is secured by one of our owned
communities  with 229 living  units.  We believe we are in  compliance  with all
material  terms and  covenants  related to this debt.  A portion of this debt is
refinanceable  at any time and all of this debt may be  refinanced  beginning in
2004. We have begun to consider refinance alternatives.

                                       13

Also, as discussed  above,  on October 24, 2002,  we entered a revolving  credit
facility  for $12.5  million.  This  credit  facility  is secured by some of our
accounts  receivable and it contains various covenants including our maintenance
of collateral,  minimum net worth and various  financial ratios. On November 13,
2002, no amounts were drawn under this revolving credit facility, and we believe
we are in compliance  with all material  terms and covenants  applicable to this
credit facility.

Our most significant  long term obligations are our lease  obligations to Senior
Housing.  Including the lease  entered on October 25, 2002, as described  above,
our lease  obligations  require  minimum  rent of $76.3  million  per  year.  At
November  13,  we  believe  we  are  in  compliance   with  all  material  lease
obligations.

SEASONALITY

Our business is subject to modest  effects of  seasonality.  During the calendar
fourth quarter holiday  periods  nursing home and assisted living  residents are
sometimes  discharged to join family  celebrations  and admission  decisions are
often deferred.  The first quarter of each calendar year usually  coincides with
increased  illness among nursing home and assisted  living  residents  which can
result in  increased  costs or  discharges  to  hospitals.  As a result of these
factors,  nursing home and assisted living operations  sometimes produce greater
earnings in the second and third quarters of a calendar year and lesser earnings
in the first and fourth  quarters.  We do not believe that this seasonality will
cause fluctuations in our revenues or operating cash flow to such an extent that
we will have  difficulty  paying  our  expenses,  including  rent,  which do not
fluctuate seasonally.


                                       14


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As  of  September  30,  2002,  we  had  no  obligations  for  funded  debt  and,
accordingly,  are not  directly  affected by changes in market  interest  rates.
However,  as discussed  above,  we have entered into a $12.5  million  revolving
credit  facility  secured by certain of our accounts  receivable.  This facility
will require  interest on drawn  amounts at floating  rates  generally  equal to
LIBOR plus a spread.  Whenever  borrowings are  outstanding  under such a credit
facility  we may be exposed  to market  changes in  interest  rates,  especially
market changes in short term rates.  For example,  if the full amount of a $12.5
million line of credit were drawn and interest  rates decrease or increase by 1%
per annum, our interest expense would decrease or increase by $125,000 per year,
or $0.015 per share, respectively.  Depending upon our exposure to interest rate
risks for floating rate obligations outstanding from time to time in the future,
we may decide to purchase interest rate caps or other hedging instruments.

As noted above,  on October 25,  2002,  we assumed  $15.8  million of fixed rate
mortgage debt.  Changes in prevailing  interest rate may affect the market value
of fixed rate debt.  Generally,  increases  in interest  rates reduce the market
value of fixed rate debt,  and decreases in interest  rates  increase the market
value of fixed rate debt. For example: based upon discounted cash flow analysis,
if  prevailing  interest  rates were to decline by 10% and other  credit  market
considerations  remained  unchanged,  the  market  value  of our  $15.8  million
mortgage  debt  would  increase  by  about  $1.3  million;  and,  similarly,  if
prevailing interest rates were to increase by 10%, the market value of our $15.8
million mortgage debt would decline by about $1.1 million.  The market values of
long term, fixed rate debt which can be prepaid or refinanced prior to maturity,
such as our $15.8 million  mortgage debt, are generally less affected by changes
in interest rates.

Changes in the market value of our long term, fixed rate debt obligations  which
are paid  according  to their  terms  will not  affect  our  operating  results.
However, if we have unhedged amounts of floating rate debt outstanding,  changes
in short term rates will  impact  our  operating  results.  During the past year
short term rates have  decreased.  We are  unable to predict  the  direction  or
amount of interest rate changes during the next year. However, we may incur debt
at floating or fixed rates in the future,  which would  increase our exposure to
market changes in interest rates.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

     (a)  Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, management
          of the Company  carried out an evaluation,  under the  supervision and
          with the  participation  of our President and Chief Executive  Officer
          and Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
          design  and  operation  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures
          pursuant to Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Securities  Exchange Act of
          1934.  Based upon that  evaluation,  the President and Chief Executive
          Officer and Treasurer and Chief Financial  Officer  concluded that our
          disclosure   controls  and  procedures  are  effective  in  recording,
          summarizing and reporting material information required to be included
          in our periodic SEC filings in a timely manner.

     (b)  There have been no significant  changes in our internal controls or in
          other  factors  that  could   significantly   affect  these   controls
          subsequent to the date of their  evaluation,  including any corrective
          actions  with  regard  to   significant   deficiencies   and  material
          weaknesses.

THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO  OPERATE  OUR  PROPERTIES  IN A  FINANCIALLY  SUCCESSFUL
MANNER,  THAT CERTAIN LARGE CHARGES AND CHANGES IN INSURANCE  RESERVE  ESTIMATES
WILL NOT RECUR, THAT WE MAY CLOSE ADDITIONAL FACILITIES,  THAT OUR REVENUES FROM
MEDICARE AND MEDICAID  WILL  DECREASE BY  APPROXIMATELY  $5.3 MILLION PER ANNUM,
THAT WE BELIEVE WE WILL BE ABLE EXPAND OUR  BUSINESS  FOCUSED  UPON  SERVICES TO
RESIDENTS  WHO PAY WITH  PRIVATE  RESOURCES,  THAT WE WILL  COLLECT  AMOUNTS  WE
BELIEVE  ARE  DUE TO US FROM  INTERGRATED  HEALTH  SERVICES  AND  THE  STATE  OF
CONNECTICUT AND THAT CANCELLATION OF THE MARRIOTT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS WILL NOT
RESULT IN A MATERIAL  DECLINE IN THE INCOME WE RECEIVE FROM OUR MARRIOTT MANAGED
LEASED  COMMUNITIES.  HOWEVER,  OUR OPERATING  FINANCIAL RESULTS MAY DETERIORATE
BECAUSE OF CHANGES IN MARKET  CONDITIONS,  GREATER DECLINES IN MEDICARE REVENUES
THAN  EXPECTED,  LOWER  MEDICARE AND MEDICAID  RATES,  HIGHER  INSURANCE  COSTS,
RECURRING LARGE CHANGES IN INSURANCE RESERVES OR OTHERWISE;  WE MAY BE UNABLE TO
IDENTIFY OR CLOSE EXPANSION  OPPORTUNITIES ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS; WE MAY BE UNABLE
TO COLLECT AMOUNTS FROM  INTEGRATED  HEALTH SERVICES OR THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT
BECAUSE WE CANNOT REACH  AGREEMENTS OR  SETTLEMENTS,  BECAUSE OUR  LITIGATION OR
OTHER  EFFORTS  FAIL OR  BECAUSE  INTEGRATED  HEALTH  SERVICES  OR THE  STATE OF
CONNECTICUT ARE UNABLE TO MAKE PAYMENTS OR FOR OTHER REASONS;  AND  CANCELLATION
OF THE  MARRIOTT  MANAGEMENT  AGREEMENTS  COULD  RESULT IN MATERIAL  DECLINES IN
REVENUE,  INCREASES  IN EXPENSES OR  INCREASES  IN OUR  WORKING  CAPITAL  NEEDS.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR, OUR EXPECTED RESULTS MAY
NOT BE ACHIEVED, AND ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM OUR EXPECTATIONS.

                  13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

                  a)       designed such  disclosure  controls and procedures to
                           ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the

                           quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

                  c)       presented in this  quarterly  report our  conclusions
                           about the  effectiveness  of the disclosure  controls

                  board of  directors  (or  persons  performing  the  equivalent
                  function):

                  a)       all   significant   deficiencies  in  the  design  or
                           operation of internal  controls which could adversely
                           affect the registrant's  ability to record,  process,
                           summarize   and  report   financial   data  and  have
                           identified for the registrant's auditors any material
                           weaknesses in internal controls; and

                           management or other  employees who have a significant
                           role in the registrant's internal controls; and

         6.       The  registrant's   other  certifying   officers  and  I  have
                  indicated in this  quarterly  report whether or not there were

                  corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
