NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Alderwoods Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Alderwoods Group"), together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") is the second-largest operator of funeral homes and cemeteries in North America. As at June 15, 2002, the Company operated 794 funeral homes and 190 cemeteries and 64 combination funeral homes and cemeteries throughout North America and 39 funeral homes in the United Kingdom. The Company's funeral operations encompass making funeral, cemetery and cremation arrangements on an at-need or pre-need basis. The Company's funeral operations offer a full range of funeral services, including the collection of remains, registration of death, professional embalming, use of funeral home facilities, sale of caskets and other merchandise and transportation to a place of worship, funeral chapel, cemetery or crematorium. The Company's cemetery operations assist families in making burial arrangements and offer a complete line of cemetery products (including a selection of burial spaces, burial vaults, lawn crypts, caskets, memorials, niches, mausoleum crypts and other merchandise), the opening and closing of graves and cremation services. The Company's insurance operations sell a variety of life insurance products, primarily to fund pre-need funeral services. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is the successor to The Loewen Group Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Loewen Group International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Loewen International") that was renamed Alderwoods Group, Inc. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiary companies and all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in management's opinion are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim period. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report as at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction therewith. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other interim period. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. As a result, actual amounts could significantly differ from those estimates. 6 <Page> ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) (TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR On March 6, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to the Saturday nearest to December 31 in each year (whether before or after such date). This change is effective for fiscal year 2002, which will end on December 28, 2002. No transition report for the change in fiscal year was required. In connection with the change in fiscal year end, the Company also realigned its fiscal quarters. The first and second fiscal quarters will each consist of 12 weeks and the third fiscal quarter will consist of 16 weeks. The fourth fiscal quarter will typically consist of 12 weeks, but this period may be altered, if necessary, in order to cause the fourth fiscal quarter to end on the same day as the fiscal year, as described above. As a result of this, the fourth fiscal quarter will consist of 13 weeks in certain years. NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following: <Table> <Caption> JUNE 15, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- (UNAUDITED) PARENT PARENT COMPANY ALDERWOODS COMPANY ALDERWOODS ALDERWOODS ROSE HILLS GROUP ALDERWOODS ROSE HILLS GROUP GROUP COMPANY CONSOLIDATED GROUP COMPANY CONSOLIDATED ---------- ---------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ------------ Revolving credit facility (a).................. $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- Bank credit agreement (b)....... -- 57,112 57,112 -- 61,581 61,581 11.00% Senior secured notes due in 2007 (c)................... 250,000 -- 250,000 250,000 -- 250,000 9.50% Senior subordinated notes due in 2004 (d)............... -- 77,200 77,200 -- 76,800 76,800 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2004 (e)............... -- -- -- 49,599 -- 49,599 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2009 (f)............... 330,000 -- 330,000 330,000 -- 330,000 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012 (g)......... 33,264 -- 33,264 33,679 -- 33,679 Promissory notes and capitalized obligations, certain of which are secured by assets of certain subsidiaries.......... 32,963 1,454 34,417 32,251 1,738 33,989 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- 646,227 135,766 781,993 695,529 140,119 835,648 Less, current maturities of long-term debt................ 16,565 31,455 48,020 7,698 9,698 17,396 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- $629,662 $104,311 $733,973 $687,831 $130,421 $818,252 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== </Table> (a) On January 2, 2002, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility has a maximum availability of the lesser of $75,000,000 (including $35,000,000 in the form of letters of credit) or an amount (determined pursuant to a borrowing base calculation) equal to the sum of (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus (b) the lesser of (i) 50% of the value of eligible inventory and (ii) $15,000,000 plus (c) the lesser of (i) 25% of the book value of real property on which the collateral agent 7 <Page> ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.

LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) for the lenders has a first priority mortgage and (ii) $40,000,000. The Credit Facility may be used primarily to fund the Company's working capital needs and initially bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. prime rate, plus 1% or, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus 2.5%. A fee of 2.5% is charged on letters of credit and a commitment fee of 0.50% is charged on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. Material covenants include a requirement to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, required earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization to fixed charge coverage ratios and a yearly maximum on capital expenditures. The Credit Facility expires on January 2, 2003, and is secured by specified real property and substantially all personal property of the Company and specified subsidiaries. As of June 15, 2002, the Company's borrowing base was approximately $62,000,000, less $18,500,000 in outstanding letters of credit. (b) Subsidiary credit agreement provides for (1) a senior secured amortization extended term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000, and (2) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000. The subsidiary is required to maintain certain defined financial ratios. As of June 15, 2002, the Company was accruing interest at 4.94% on its outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility. The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.50% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. (c) On January 2, 2002, the Company issued 11.00% Senior secured notes, due in 2007. Interest is payable semi-annually. The first interest payment was made on June 17, 2002. The notes are secured by all personal property (subject to certain restrictions) of the Company and specified subsidiaries, and specified funeral home real property assets of the Company, subordinated to the security interests securing the Credit Facility. The notes are redeemable at any time at the option of the Company at 100% of the stated principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the redemption date. Furthermore, the notes are subject to mandatory redemption in the principal amount of $10,000,000, $20,000,000, $30,000,000 and $40,000,000, if such amounts are outstanding on January 2, 2003, January 2, 2004, January 3, 2005 and January 2, 2006, respectively. (See Note 10). (d) The indenture for the subsidiary 9.5% Senior subordinated notes, due November 15, 2004, limits the subsidiary's payment of dividends and repurchase of its common stock, and includes certain other restrictions and limitations on its indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually. The security for the notes is subordinate to the prior claims of the bank credit agreement. The carrying amount is net of an unamortized discount of $2,800,000 (December 31, 2001 -- $3,200,000). (e) On January 2, 2002, the Company issued 12.25% Senior unsecured notes, due in 2004. On April 26, 2002, the notes were redeemed for a total redemption price of $49,599,000, plus accrued interest to (but not including) April 26, 2002. (f) On January 2, 2002, the Company issued 12.25% Senior unsecured notes, due in 2009. Interest is payable semi-annually. The first interest payment was made on March 15, 2002. The notes are redeemable on and after January 2, 2005, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 106.25% of the stated principal amount if redeemed from January 2, 2005 to January 1, 2006, at a price equal to 103.125% of the stated principal amount if redeemed from January 2, 2006 to January 1, 2007 and at a price equal to 100% of the stated principal amount if redeemed on or after January 2, 2007, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the applicable redemption date. (g) On January 2, 2002, the Company issued 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes, due in 2012. Interest is payable semi-annually. The first interest payment was made on March 15, 2002. The notes are convertible at the holders' option at any time into the Company's Common stock at an initial conversion rate of $17.17 per share, adjusted for subsequent dividends, stock splits and issuance of rights, options and warrants. The 8 <Page> ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) (TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) carrying amount includes unamortized premium of $8,585,000 (December 31, 2001 -- $9,001,000). The notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at 100% of the stated principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the applicable redemption date, provided however, that prior to January 2, 2004, the Company may not optionally redeem the notes unless the then-market price of the Common Stock is at least 15% greater than the then-applicable conversion price. The Credit Facility, 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007, 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2009 and 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012, are guaranteed by substantially all of Alderwoods Group's wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, other than Rose Hills Holding Corp. ("Rose Hills") and its subsidiaries, Alderwoods Group's insurance subsidiaries and other specified excluded subsidiaries. Alderwoods Group, the parent company, has no independent assets or operations, and the guarantees of its guarantor subsidiaries are full and unconditional, and joint and several. There are no cross-guarantees of debt between the Company and Rose Hills or its subsidiaries. In certain change of control situations, the Company is required to make an offer to purchase the then-outstanding 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007 and 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012, at a price equal to 100% of their stated principal amount, and the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2009, at a price equal to 101% of their stated principal amount, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable repurchase date. The indentures governing the 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007, 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2009 and 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012 prohibit the Company from consummating certain asset sales unless: (a) consideration at least equal to fair market value is received; and (b) except with respect to specified assets, not less than 75% of the consideration for the asset sale is cash and cash equivalents. Within 270 days of the receipt of net proceeds from any such asset sale, the Company is obligated to apply such net proceeds at its option (or as otherwise required) as follows: (a) to pay the Credit Facility and permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto, or (b) to make capital expenditures or acquisitions of other assets in the same line of business as the Company or specified subsidiaries or businesses related thereto. To the extent the Company receives net proceeds from any such asset sale not applied in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence in excess of certain thresholds, the Company must offer to purchase 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007, 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2009 or 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012 (in that order) with such excess proceeds. Material covenants under the long-term debt documents include restrictions placed on the Company and specified subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, repay subordinate or junior indebtedness, or encumber property or assets. NOTE 4. CONTINGENCIES (a) LEGAL CONTINGENCIES PROPOSED CIVIL RIGHTS CLASS ACTIONS Since July 2000, ten lawsuits have been filed against Security Industrial Insurance Company, subsequently renamed Security Plan Life Insurance Company ("Security Industrial"), a subsidiary of the 9 <Page> ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) (TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) NOTE 4. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Company, and various other unrelated insurance companies asserting similar claims and seeking class action certification. Except as described in this paragraph, the complaints in each of the lawsuits are almost identical. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants sold life insurance products to plaintiffs and other African Americans without disclosing that premiums paid would likely exceed the face value of the policies, and that plaintiffs paid higher premiums than Caucasian policyholders and received proportionately lower death benefits. The plaintiffs sought, among other things, injunctive relief, equitable relief, restitution, disgorgement, increased death benefits, premium refunds (in one case, with interest), costs and attorney fees. In several of the cases, Security Industrial filed a motion to dismiss all claims for failure to state a cause of action and/or for summary judgment. In December 2000, nine of the cases were transferred to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "MDL Panel") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana for consolidation for administrative purposes, where they were assigned to Judge Martin L.C. Feldman as IN RE INDUSTRIAL LIFE INSURANCE LITIGATION, MDL No. 1382. The tenth case was pending in state court in Ascension Parish, Louisiana (the "Louisiana State Court"). On January 9, 2002, the Louisiana State Court gave final approval to a class-action settlement with respect to the claims in the ten lawsuits. The Louisiana State Court's final approval determined such settlement to be fair, reasonable and adequate for the class, which was certified by such court for settlement purposes only. The settlement provides agreed-upon amounts of compensation to class members in exchange for a release of all pending and future claims they may have against the Company and certain of its affiliates. The Company has recorded a provision for the agreed-upon amounts of compensation and related costs with respect to these lawsuits within the Company's interim consolidated financial statements. Although the Company believes such provision is adequate, there can be no assurance that actual payments with respect to these claims will not exceed such provision. THE LOEWEN GROUP INC., ET AL. V. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA In October 1998, the Predecessor and Raymond L. Loewen, the then-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Predecessor, filed a claim against the United States government for damages under the arbitration provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"). The claimants contend that they were damaged as a result of breaches by the United States of its obligations under NAFTA in connection with certain litigation in the State of Mississippi entitled O'KEEFE VS. THE LOEWEN GROUP INC. Specifically, the plaintiffs allege that they were subjected to discrimination, a denial of justice, a denial of the fair and equitable treatment and full protection and security guaranteed by NAFTA and an uncompensated expropriation, all in violation of NAFTA. The NAFTA claims are currently the subject of a pending proceeding before an arbitration panel (the "Arbitration Tribunal") appointed pursuant to the rules of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. In January 2001, the Arbitration Tribunal issued a ruling rejecting certain of the U.S. government's jurisdictional challenges and scheduled a hearing on the merits of the NAFTA claims, held on October 15-19, 2001. A motion relating to the jurisdiction of this matter was heard on June 5, 2002. The matter is now pending before the Arbitration Tribunal. 10 <Page> ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) (TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) NOTE 4. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor, through a series of transactions, transferred to the Company all of its assets, excluding legal title to the NAFTA claims, and transferred to the Company the right to any and all proceeds from the NAFTA claims. In addition, pursuant to the Plan, an undivided 25% interest in the proceeds, if any, of the NAFTA claims as such proceeds may be adjusted as a result of the arbitration contemplated by the letter agreement between the Predecessor and Raymond L. Loewen, dated May 27, 1999 (the "NAFTA Arbitration Agreement"), less (a) any amounts payable under paragraph 3 of the NAFTA Arbitration Agreement and (b) any amounts payable pursuant to the contingency fee letter agreement between Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue and the Predecessor, dated July 25, 2000, was transferred to a liquidating trust for the benefit of creditors of the Predecessor. Although the Company believes that these actions should not affect the NAFTA claims, the government of the United States, respondent in the NAFTA proceeding, has asserted that these actions have divested the Arbitration Tribunal of jurisdiction over some or all of the claims. The Company does not believe that it is possible at this time to predict the final outcome of this proceeding or to establish a reasonable estimate of the damages, if any, that may be awarded, or the proceeds, if any, that may be received in respect of the NAFTA claims. OTHER The Company is a party to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, but does not expect the outcome of any other proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. (b) ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES AND LIABILITIES The Company's operations are subject to numerous environmental laws, regulations and guidelines adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. On a continuing basis, the Company's business practices are designed to assess and evaluate environmental risk and, when necessary, conduct appropriate corrective measures. Liabilities are recorded when known or considered probable and reasonably estimable. The Company's policies are also designed to control environmental risk upon acquisition, through extensive due diligence and corrective measures taken prior to acquisition. Management endeavors to ensure that environmental issues are identified and addressed in advance of acquisition or are covered by an indemnity by the seller or an offset to the purchase price. The Company provides for environmental liabilities using its best estimates. Actual environmental liabilities could differ significantly from these estimates. 11 <Page> ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.

The Stockholder Rights Plan, which has an 18-month term, was not established in response to any pending takeover bid for the Company. In connection with the Stockholder Rights Plan, the Board of Directors, on March 6, 2002, declared a dividend distribution of one right for each share of Common stock. The Company also entered into a rights agreement ("Rights Agreement"), dated as of March 6, 2002, with Wells Fargo Bank, Minnesota, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), whereby Wells Fargo agreed to act as rights agent. The Rights Agreement and a summary description of the rights are available as an exhibit to the Company's report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2002. NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (a) On June 24, 2002, the Company announced its intention to make an optional redemption of $15,000,000 of its 11.00% Senior secured notes, due in 2007, for a redemption price of 15 <Page> ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.

(PREDECESSOR TO ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.) NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) NOTE 1. REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS For information regarding the Predecessor's reorganization proceedings, see Note 1 to the Predecessor's consolidated financial statements included in Alderwoods Group, Inc.'s ("Alderwoods Group") Annual Report as at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). There have been no material changes to the reorganization proceedings reported therein. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiary companies and all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which in management's opinion are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim period. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared consistent with the accounting policies described in the Predecessor's consolidated financial statements included in Alderwoods Group's Annual Report as at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC and should be read in conjunction therewith. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. As a result, actual results could significantly differ from those estimates. ACCOUNTING CHANGE The Predecessor implemented the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") effective January 1, 2000, which resulted in a change in revenue recognition for pre-need funeral contracts and pre-need cemetery contracts. The Predecessor's previously published financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, and June 30, 2001, respectively, was prepared on a basis that did not fully reflect the adoption of SAB 101. The interim financial statements presented herein, have been restated to give effect to SAB 101. Due to the volume of historical pre-need funeral and cemetery contracts involved in the restatement and the lack of certain transactional information related to such contracts, certain estimation methods have been utilized by Alderwoods Group to restate the Predecessor's revenue, as a result of the implementation of SAB 101. These estimation methods have been consistently applied. In accordance with SAB 101, payments received for pre-need funeral contracts that are not required to be trusted are deferred and recognized as revenue at the time the funeral is performed. Previously, revenue was partially recognized when payments were received. Direct selling expenses relating to the sale of pre-need funeral contracts are expensed in the period incurred. Previously, direct selling expenses were included in other assets and amortized over ten years. 20 <Page> THE LOEWEN GROUP INC. (PREDECESSOR TO ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.) NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) (TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) In accordance with SAB 101 the Predecessor recognized revenue and related costs for pre-need sales of interment rights and related merchandise and services at the time the interment right title was transferred, merchandise was delivered or service was performed. Previously, revenue and related costs, net of amounts required to be paid into perpetual care trusts, were recognized at the time the pre-need contract was signed. Earnings on merchandise and services trust funds were recognized when the revenue of the associated merchandise or service was recognized. Previously, earnings on merchandise and services trust funds were recognized in the period realized. The cumulative effect of the implementation of SAB 101 through December 31, 1999, resulted in a charge to income of $986,750,000 (net of income taxes of $108,719,000), or $13.31 per basic and diluted share, recorded on January 1, 2000. The effect of the restatement, as a result of the implementation of SAB 101 effective January 1, 2000, is summarized below. <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 JUNE 30, 2001 ------------------ ---------------- Loss as previously reported under partial implementation of SAB 101.................................................. $(118,981) $(141,835) Adjustment to give effect to SAB 101....................... 33,100 84,205 --------- --------- Net loss, restated......................................... $ (85,881) $ (57,630) ========= ========= </Table> NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS AND DISPOSITIONS During 1999, as a result of the Predecessor's reorganization proceedings and operating performance decline, the Predecessor conducted extensive reviews of each of its operating locations. The review resulted in the identification of 201 funeral homes and 170 cemeteries as probable for sale and the development of a program for disposition of these locations, which was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in January 2000. As a result, a pre-tax asset impairment provision for long-lived assets of $428,194,000 was recorded in 1999. At March 31, 2001, and June 30, 2001, the Predecessor further revised its estimates of expected proceeds of the locations held for disposal and identified other locations, which were not part of the previously-announced disposition properties, as probable for sale. Consequently, additional pre-tax asset impairment provisions of $15,306,000 and $125,175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, and June 30, 2001, respectively, were recorded. The asset impairment provisions were based on management estimates. During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Predecessor sold 23 funeral homes and 22 cemeteries for gross proceeds of $22,968,000, before closing and other settlement costs of $203,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $16,021,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Predecessor sold 77 funeral homes and 70 cemeteries for gross proceeds of $51,946,000, before closing and other settlement costs of $358,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $46,541,000. 21 <Page> THE LOEWEN GROUP INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Unless the context otherwise requires (a) "Alderwoods Group" refers to Alderwoods Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (b) "Loewen Group" or the "Predecessor" refers to The Loewen Group Inc., a British Columbia corporation, (c) "Loewen International" refers to Loewen Group International, Inc., (a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Loewen Group which, on January 2, 2002, was reorganized and renamed Alderwoods Group, Inc. and thereupon ceased to be affiliated with Loewen Group), (d) the "Company" refers to Alderwoods Group together with its subsidiaries and associated companies, (e) "Debtors" refers to, collectively, Loewen Group, Loewen International and their debtor subsidiaries, and (f) "Loewen Companies" refers to Loewen Group, Loewen International and their subsidiaries. OVERVIEW Alderwoods Group, Inc. is the second largest operator of funeral homes and cemeteries in North America. As of June 15, 2002, the Company operated 794 funeral homes, 190 cemeteries and 64 combination funeral homes and cemeteries throughout North America and 39 funeral homes in the United Kingdom. The Company provides funeral and cemetery services and products on both an at-need basis (time of death) and pre-need basis. In support of its pre-need business, the Company operates insurance subsidiaries that provide customers with a funding mechanism for the pre-arrangement of funerals. Loewen International (incorporated in Delaware on February 25, 1987), as reorganized and renamed Alderwoods Group, Inc., succeeded to the business previously conducted by Loewen Group on January 2, 2002 (the "Effective Date"). Alderwoods Group is a holding company owning, directly or indirectly, the capital stock of approximately 300 subsidiaries through which the funeral, cemetery and insurance businesses are operated. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting policies that the Company believes are both most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgements are described under Item 7. "-- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Alderwoods Group's Annual Report as at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). BASIS OF PRESENTATION Alderwoods Group succeeded to substantially all of the assets and operations of Loewen Group on the Effective Date, and continues to operate the businesses previously conducted by the Loewen Companies. Certain interim consolidated financial and other information concerning the Predecessor may be of limited interest to stockholders of the Company and has been included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, due to the significant changes in the financial structure of the Company, the application of "fresh start" reporting as at December 31, 2001, and as a result of the confirmation and implementation of the Fourth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Loewen Group International, Inc., its Parent Corporation and Certain of Their Debtor Subsidiaries, as modified (the "Plan") and changes in accounting policies and fiscal accounting periods adopted by the Company, the interim consolidated financial and other information of the Company issued subsequent to the Plan implementation are not comparable with the interim consolidated financial information and other information issued by the Predecessor prior to the Plan implementation. Accordingly, management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company compared to the 25 <Page> Predecessor should be reviewed with caution, and should not be relied upon as being indicative of future results of the Company or providing an accurate comparison of financial performance. The Company's accounting information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is presented on the basis of United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Historically, the Predecessor's interim consolidated financial statements were presented in accordance with Canadian GAAP, and material differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP were explained in a note to the Predecessor's interim consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Predecessor had not in its prior Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q fully implemented the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), as a result of the Predecessor's ongoing reorganization proceedings. The Predecessor's historical financial information and the interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been restated to the full extent necessary to comply with U.S. GAAP and the implementation of SAB 101. On March 6, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to the Saturday nearest to December 31 in each year (whether before or after such date). This change is effective for fiscal year 2002, which will end on December 28, 2002. No transition report for the change in fiscal year was required. In connection with the change in fiscal year end, the Company also realigned its fiscal quarters. The first and second fiscal quarters will each consist of 12 weeks and the third fiscal quarter will consist of 16 weeks. The fourth fiscal quarter will typically consist of 12 weeks, but this period may be altered, if necessary, in order to cause the fourth fiscal quarter to end on the same day as the fiscal year, as described above. As a result of this, the fourth fiscal quarter will consist of 13 weeks in certain years. This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Predecessor are based upon and should be read in conjunction with the Company's interim consolidated financial statements and the Predecessor's interim consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including the notes thereto). RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE EXPECTED FOR THE FULL FISCAL YEAR OR FOR ANY OTHER INTERIM PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, A COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH THE PREDECESSOR IS NOT MEANINGFUL AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED WITH CAUTION DUE TO: - SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY; - APPLICATION OF FRESH START REPORTING AT DECEMBER 31, 2001, AS A RESULT OF THE CONFIRMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN; - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CERTAIN ACCOUNT CLASSIFICATIONS ADOPTED UPON EMERGENCE; AND - CHANGES IN THE FISCAL YEAR AND THE LENGTH OF QUARTERLY PERIODS. ACCORDINGLY, A BLACK LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN TO SEPARATE AND DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS THAT RELATE TO THE COMPANY AND THE PREDECESSOR. Detailed below are the operating results of the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001, and six months ended June 30, 2001. The operating results are expressed in dollar amounts as well as relevant percentages, presented as a percentage of revenue, except for income taxes, which are presented as a percentage of earnings before income taxes. The operations of the Company comprise, and the operations of the Predecessor comprised, three businesses: funeral homes, cemeteries and insurance. Additional segment information is provided in 26 <Page> Note 7 and Note 5 of the Company's and Predecessor's interim consolidated financial statements, respectively. <Table> ALDERWOODS GROUP PREDECESSOR --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- 12 WEEKS 12 WEEKS THREE MONTHS ENDED THREE MONTHS ENDED ENDED ENDED JUNE 15, 2002 JUNE 15, 2002 JUNE 30, 2001 JUNE 30, 2001 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ (IN MILLIONS) (PERCENTAGES) (IN MILLIONS) (PERCENTAGES) Revenue Funeral...................................... $126.5 66.7 $ 130.4 62.1 Cemetery..................................... 38.8 20.5 53.0 25.3 Insurance.................................... 24.3 12.8 26.5 12.6 ------ ----- ------- ----- Total...................................... $189.6 100.0 $ 209.9 100.0 ------ ----- ------- ----- Gross margin Funeral...................................... $ 31.5 24.9 $ 34.7 26.6 Cemetery..................................... 0.8 2.2 10.5 19.9 Insurance.................................... 3.4 14.0 4.8 18.0 ------ ------- Total...................................... 35.7 18.9 50.0 23.8 Expenses General and administrative................... 12.2 6.4 16.9 8.1 Depreciation and amortization................ -- -- 12.8 6.1 Provision for asset impairment............... -- -- 125.1 59.6 ------ ------- Earnings (loss) from operations................ 23.5 12.5 (104.8) (50.0) Interest on long-term debt..................... 20.3 10.7 2.0 0.9 Reorganization costs........................... -- -- 10.3 4.9 Loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries and other expenses (income)...................... 0.6 0.3 (16.0) (7.6) ------ ------- Income (loss) before income taxes.............. 2.6 1.5 (101.1) (48.2) Income taxes................................... 0.9 35.2 (15.2) n/a ------ ------- Net income (loss).............................. $ 1.7 0.9 $ (85.9) (40.9) ====== ======= </Table> 12 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE 12 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002, ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE EXPECTED FOR THE FULL FISCAL YEAR OR FOR ANY OTHER INTERIM PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, A COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH THE PREDECESSOR IS NOT MEANINGFUL AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED WITH CAUTION DUE TO: - SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY; - APPLICATION OF FRESH START REPORTING AT DECEMBER 31, 2001, AS A RESULT OF THE CONFIRMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN; - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CERTAIN ACCOUNT CLASSIFICATIONS ADOPTED UPON EMERGENCE; AND - CHANGES IN THE FISCAL YEAR AND THE LENGTH OF QUARTERLY PERIODS. Consolidated revenue for the Company of $189.6 million for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $20.3 million, or 9.7%, compared to approximately $209.9 million for the Predecessor's three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily as a result of a reduction of approximately $16.9 million related to 98 funeral and 97 cemetery locations sold or closed since April 1, 2001, and approximately $14.7 million estimated to be the effect of the difference in number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter, partially offset by approximately $17.6 million of Rose Hills Holding Corp. ("Rose Hills") revenue now consolidated in the Company's results, which was previously accounted for on an equity investment basis. Consolidated gross margin for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was approximately $35.7 million, a decline of approximately 27 <Page> $14.3 million, or 28.5%, from the Predecessor's consolidated gross margin of approximately $50.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. As a percentage of consolidated revenue, consolidated gross margin of the Company similarly declined from the Predecessor's 23.8% to 18.9%. The percentage decrease in consolidated gross margin is primarily attributed to the decline in funeral and cemetery gross margin (excluding the respective gross margin from Rose Hills, which reflects higher margin for cemetery and funeral) and insurance gross margin. Consolidated gross margin, as with revenue, was similarly impacted by the changes affecting comparability of the Company and the Predecessor. Funeral revenue for the Company of $126.5 million for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased by $3.9 million, or 3.0%, compared to $130.4 million for the Predecessor's three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to (1) an estimated reduction of approximately $9.5 million from the difference in number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter, and (2) a reduction of approximately $5.6 million related to funeral locations sold or closed since April 1, 2001, which more than offset an increase of approximately $7.3 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, now consolidated in the Company's operating results. In addition, at locations in operation for all of the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the three months ended June 30, 2001, and after adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective quarters, the Company estimates that funeral revenue increased $3.9 million and the number of funeral services performed increased by 1.4%. Overall average funeral revenue per service for the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was $3,773, compared to $3,721 for the Predecessor in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Funeral costs for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased slightly by approximately $0.7 million, primarily as a result of (1) a reduction of approximately $6.9 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter, (2) a reduction of approximately $5.2 million related to funeral locations sold or closed since April 1, 2001, (3) an increase of approximately $4.6 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, and (4) an increase of approximately $6.9 million from regional manager and depreciation expense not previously included in funeral costs. Pre-need funeral contracts written by the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, were approximately $38.7 million, compared to $27.9 million by the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The Company estimates that it has a backlog of approximately $1.1 billion in pre-need funeral contracts as of June 15, 2002. Approximately 28% of funeral volume for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was derived from the backlog, compared to approximately 22% from the Predecessor's backlog for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Overall funeral gross margin of the Company, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 24.9% for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, from the Predecessor's 26.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to the decline in costs being at a rate less than that commensurate with the revenue decline. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was also affected by the additional regional manager and depreciation expense, partially offset by the inclusion of Rose Hills. Cemetery revenue for the Company of $38.8 million for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $14.2 million, or 26.8%, compared to $53.0 million for the Predecessor's three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to (1) an estimated reduction of approximately $3.2 million from the difference in number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter, (2) a reduction of approximately $11.3 million related to cemetery locations sold since April 1, 2001, which together more than offset an increase of approximately $10.3 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, now consolidated in the Company's operating results. In addition, at locations in operation for all of the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the three months ended June 30, 2001, and after adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective quarters, the Company estimates that cemetery revenue declined approximately $10.0 million, of which $8.8 million was due to lower pre-need revenue. Pre-need revenue is impacted by the quantity of spaces sold, merchandise installed and services performed, as well as, to the extent revenue was deferred at December 31, 2001, the impact of fresh start reporting and the established fair value of the related deferred revenue being recognized. 28 <Page> Cemetery costs for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased by approximately $4.5 million, primarily as a result of (1) a reduction of approximately $2.5 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter, (2) a reduction of approximately $10.2 million related to 97 cemetery locations sold since April 1, 2001, and (3) an increase of approximately $8.6 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills. Pre-need cemetery contracts written by the Company during the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, were approximately $21.5 million, approximately $1.0 million higher than those written by the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as decreases due to 97 cemetery locations sold since April 1, 2001, and the effect of the shorter fiscal quarter in 2002 versus 2001, were more than offset by the inclusion of Rose Hills' operating results and improved pre-need sales. Interments were approximately 15,500 for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, of which approximately 81% were at-need and 19% were pre-need fulfillments. Overall cemetery gross margin of the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 2.2%, compared to 19.9% for the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the fixed nature of certain expenses, the cost reductions of which were not commensurate with the revenue declines experienced. The key components of this decline include the impact of the reduced fair value of revenue deferred at December 31, 2001, and recognized in 2002, and the additional regional manager and depreciation expense, partially offset by the inclusion of Rose Hills. Insurance revenue for the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased by approximately $2.2 million, or 8.2%, compared to the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to the difference in the number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter. Costs, consisting primarily of benefit and claims costs, commissions, policy reserve changes, and wages, decreased slightly by approximately $0.8 million. As a result of the higher decrease in revenue, primarily due to the decline in investment income, compared to costs, overall insurance gross margin for the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased to 14.0%, compared to 18.0% for the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses for the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, were approximately $12.2 million, or 6.4% of consolidated revenue, substantially lower than the $16.9 million, or 8.1% of consolidated revenue, of the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decline was due in part to the effects of the shorter fiscal quarter in 2002, versus 2001, estimated at approximately $1.0 million, and the effects of classification in 2002 of certain regional manager costs as operating costs and depreciation as general and administrative expenses, estimated at approximately $1.5 million. The classifications in 2002 more appropriately reflect the nature and source of such costs in line with industry practice. In addition, certain benefits continue to be derived from previous process and system enhancements developed throughout the Predecessor's reorganization process and now in place for the Company. As a result of the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on December 31, 2001, goodwill is not amortized, but will be tested annually for impairment. The Predecessor's depreciation and amortization of $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, included approximately $4.2 million of amortization of names and reputations. Interest expense for the Company on long-term debt for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was approximately $20.3 million, an increase of approximately $18.3 million compared to the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily reflecting interest expense on the Company's new debt issued on the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan, and Rose Hills' debt assumed by the Company at the same time. Of this amount, approximately $0.6 million was related to the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2004, which were redeemed by the Company on April 26, 2002. Interest expense includes amortization of approximately $0.2 million of discount on the 9.50% Senior subordinated notes, due in 29 <Page> 2004 and approximately $0.2 million of premium on the 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes, due in 2012. Income tax expense for the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was approximately $0.9 million compared to approximately $15.2 million of income tax recovery for the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The Company's effective tax rate for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, varied from the statutory tax rate, primarily because (1) the losses incurred in certain jurisdictions may not offset the tax expense in profitable jurisdictions, and (2) there are differences between foreign and United States income tax rates. Future income and losses, and the disposition of certain locations, may require the Company to record a change in the valuation allowance of tax assets that were taken into account in determining the net amount of liability for deferred income taxes recorded on its balance sheet at June 15, 2002. If this occurs, any resulting increase in the valuation allowance would generally be treated as an additional income tax expense in the period in which it arises, while any resulting decrease in the valuation allowance established on the Effective Date would be treated as a reduction of goodwill with any excess over the value assigned to goodwill recognized as a capital transaction. The Company had approximately $74.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 15, 2002, a decrease of approximately $39.5 million since March 23, 2002, due primarily to the $49.6 million redemption of the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2004, on April 26, 2002, partially offset by operating cash flow of $22.8 million for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002. In addition, the Company had net proceeds on asset sales of $4.3 million, purchases of property and equipment of $3.3 million and net insurance asset purchases of approximately $8.2 million. The Company also made payments on the bank credit agreement, promissory notes and capitalized obligations of $5.5 million. <Table> ALDERWOODS GROUP PREDECESSOR --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- 24 WEEKS 24 WEEKS SIX MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED ENDED ENDED JUNE 15, 2002 JUNE 15, 2002 JUNE 30, 2001 JUNE 30, 2001 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ (IN MILLIONS) (PERCENTAGES) (IN MILLIONS) (PERCENTAGES) Revenue Funeral....................................... $258.3 66.4 $273.7 63.3 Cemetery...................................... 78.1 20.0 108.3 25.1 Insurance..................................... 52.8 13.6 50.2 11.6 ------ ----- ------ ----- Total....................................... $389.2 100.0 $432.2 100.0 ------ ----- ------ ----- Gross margin Funeral....................................... $ 65.5 25.4 $ 78.1 28.5 Cemetery...................................... 4.2 5.3 24.0 22.2 Insurance..................................... 8.6 16.3 6.5 12.9 ------ ------ Total....................................... 78.3 20.1 108.6 25.1 Expenses General and administrative.................... 23.5 6.0 32.3 7.5 Depreciation and amortization................. -- -- 26.4 6.1 Provision for asset impairment................ -- -- 140.4 32.4 ------ ------ Earnings (loss) from operations................. 54.8 14.1 (90.5) (20.9) Interest on long-term debt...................... 41.2 10.6 4.7 1.1 Reorganization costs............................ -- -- 20.1 4.6 Loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries and other expenses (income)....................... 0.1 -- (46.5) (10.7) ------ ------ Income (loss) before income taxes............... 13.5 3.5 (68.8) (15.9) Income taxes.................................... 4.7 34.6 (11.2) n/a ------ ------ Net income (loss)............................... $ 8.8 2.3 $(57.6) (13.3) ====== ====== </Table> 30 <Page> 24 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE 24 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002, ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE EXPECTED FOR THE FULL FISCAL YEAR OR FOR ANY OTHER INTERIM PERIOD.

Consolidated revenue for the Company of $389.2 million for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $43.0 million, or 9.9%, compared to approximately $432.2 million for the Predecessor's six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily as a result of a reduction of approximately $36.1 million related to 152 funeral and 145 cemetery locations sold or closed since January 1, 2001, and approximately $32.6 million estimated to be the effect of the difference in the number of days in the Company's first and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, partially offset by approximately $36.2 million of Rose Hills' revenue now consolidated in the Company's results, which was previously accounted for on an equity investment basis, and an increase of approximately $2.6 million of insurance revenue. Consolidated gross margin for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was approximately $78.3 million, a decline of approximately $30.3 million, or 27.9%, from the Predecessor's consolidated gross margin of approximately $108.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. As a percentage of consolidated revenue, consolidated gross margin of the Company similarly declined from the Predecessor's 25.1% to 20.1%. The percentage decrease in consolidated gross margin is primarily attributed to the decline in funeral and cemetery gross margin (excluding the respective gross margin from Rose Hills, which reflect higher margin for cemetery and funeral). Consolidated gross margin, as with revenue, was similarly impacted by the changes affecting comparability of the Company and the Predecessor. Funeral revenue for the Company of $258.3 million for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $15.4 million, or 5.6%, compared to $273.7 million for the Predecessor's six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to (1) an estimated reduction of approximately $21.5 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's first and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, and (2) a reduction of approximately $12.0 million related to funeral locations sold or closed since January 1, 2001, which more than offset an increase of approximately $15.8 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, now consolidated in the Company's operating results. In addition, at locations in operation for all of the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the six months ended June 30, 2001, and after adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective quarters, the Company estimates that funeral revenue increased $2.4 million and the number of funeral services performed increased by 0.2%. Overall average funeral revenue per service for the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was $3,698, compared to $3,684 for the Predecessor in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Funeral costs for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $2.8 million, primarily as a result of (1) a reduction of approximately $15.1 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's first and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, (2) a reduction of approximately $11.1 million related to funeral locations sold or closed since January 1, 2001, (3) an increase of approximately $11.5 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, and (4) an increase of approximately $12.1 million from regional manager and depreciation expense not previously included in funeral costs. 31 <Page> Pre-need funeral contracts written by the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, were approximately $77.4 million, compared to $55.0 million by the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Approximately 28% of funeral volume for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was derived from the backlog, compared to approximately 22% from the Predecessor's backlog for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Overall funeral gross margin of the Company, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 25.4% for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, from the Predecessor's 28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to the decline in costs being at a rate less than that commensurate with the revenue decline. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was affected by the additional regional manager and depreciation expense, partially offset by the inclusion of Rose Hills. Cemetery revenue for the Company of $78.1 million for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $30.2 million, or 27.9%, compared to $108.3 million for the Predecessor's six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to (1) an estimated reduction of approximately $6.9 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's first and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, (2) a reduction of approximately $24.1 million related to cemetery locations sold since January 1, 2001, which together more than offset an increase of approximately $20.4 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, now consolidated in the Company's operating results. At locations in operation for all of the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the six months ended June 30, 2001, and after adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective quarters, the Company estimates that cemetery revenue declined approximately $19.7 million, of which $18.7 million was due to lower pre-need revenue. Pre-need revenue is impacted by the quantity of spaces sold, merchandise installed and services performed, as well as, to the extent revenue was deferred at December 31, 2001, the impact of fresh start reporting and the established fair value of the related deferred revenue being recognized. Cemetery costs for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $10.4 million, primarily as a result of (1) a reduction of approximately $5.8 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's first and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, (2) a reduction of approximately $12.8 million related to 145 cemetery locations sold since January 1, 2001, and (3) an increase of approximately $16.4 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills. In addition, at locations in operation for all of the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the six months ended June 30, 2001, and after adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective periods, the Company estimates that cemetery costs declined approximately $8.2 million, due to lower costs of goods sold, primarily from the lower pre-need revenue. Pre-need cemetery contracts written by the Company during the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, were approximately $40.5 million, approximately $0.8 million lower than those written by the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as decreases due to 145 cemetery locations sold and the cumulative effect of the shorter fiscal quarter in 2002 versus 2001, were partially offset by the inclusion of Rose Hills' operating results and improved pre-need sales. Interments were approximately 35,100 for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, of which approximately 80% were at-need and 20% were pre-need fulfillments. Overall cemetery gross margin of the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 5.3%, compared to 22.2% for the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the fixed nature of certain expenses, the cost reductions of which were not commensurate with the revenue declines experienced. The key components of this decline include the impact of the reduced fair value of revenue deferred at December 31, 2001, and recognized in 2002, and the additional regional manager and depreciation expense, partially offset by the inclusion of Rose Hills. Insurance revenue for the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, increased $2.6 million, or 5.3%, compared to the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to higher 32 <Page> premium revenue of approximately $1.4 million and higher investment income of approximately $1.2 million. Costs, consisting primarily of benefit and claims costs, commissions, policy reserve changes, and wages, were consistent for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and six months ended June 30, 2001, for the Company and Predecessor, respectively. As a result of higher revenues and improved costs, overall insurance gross margin for the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, increased to 16.3%, compared to 12.9% for the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses for the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, were $23.5 million, or 6.0% of consolidated revenue, substantially lower than the $32.3 million, or 7.5% of consolidated revenue, of the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decline was due in part to the estimated effects of the shorter fiscal quarter in 2002, versus 2001, approximately $2.1 million, and the effects of classification in 2002 of certain regional manager costs as operating costs and depreciation as general and administrative expenses, approximately $4.1 million. The classifications in 2002 more appropriately reflect the nature and source of such costs in line with industry practice. In addition, certain benefits continue to be derived from previous process and system enhancements developed throughout the Predecessor's reorganization process and now in place for the Company. As a result of the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on December 31, 2001, goodwill is not amortized, but will be tested annually for impairment. The Predecessor's depreciation and amortization of $26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, included approximately $8.4 million of amortization of names and reputations. Interest expense for the Company on long-term debt for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was approximately $41.2 million, an increase of approximately $36.5 million compared to the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily reflecting interest expense on the Company's new debt issued on the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan, and Rose Hills' debt assumed by the Company at the same time. Of this amount, approximately $2.0 million was related to the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2004, which were redeemed by the Company on April 26, 2002. Interest expense includes amortization of approximately $0.4 million of discount on the 9.50% Senior subordinated notes, due in 2004 and approximately $0.4 million of premium on the 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes, due in 2012. Income tax expense for the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was approximately $4.7 million compared to approximately $11.2 million of income tax recovery for the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company's effective tax rate for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, varied from the statutory tax rate, primarily because (1) the losses incurred in certain jurisdictions may not offset the tax expense in profitable jurisdictions, (2) there are differences between foreign and United States income tax rates, and (3) tax benefits generated by enacted United States tax legislation provide retroactive relief to the Company. Future income and losses, and the disposition of certain locations, may require the Company to record a change in the valuation allowance of tax assets that were taken into account in determining the net amount of liability for deferred income taxes recorded on its balance sheet at June 15, 2002. If this occurs, any resulting increase in the valuation allowance would generally be treated as an additional income tax expense in the period in which it arises, while any resulting decrease in the valuation allowance established on the Effective Date would be treated as a reduction of goodwill with any excess over the value assigned to goodwill recognized as a capital transaction. The Company's decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $27.0 million from December 31, 2001 to June 15, 2002, is due primarily to the $49.6 million redemption of the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2004, on April 26, 2002, partially offset by operating cash flow of $37.3 million for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002. In addition, the Company had net proceeds on asset sales of $15.9 million, purchases of property and equipment of $6.5 million and net insurance asset purchases of approximately $15.4 million. 33 <Page> The Company made payments on the bank credit agreement, promissory notes and capitalized obligations of $9.1 million. At December 31, 2001, the Company had accrued approximately $57.1 million of reorganization costs related to costs incurred during the Predecessor's reorganization, as well as costs incurred in connection with the actual emergence and various activities related thereto. Of this amount, the Company paid approximately $9.4 million and $21.9 million during the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, respectively, resulting in a balance of approximately $35.2 million. While at this time the Company expects to pay the remaining balance during the remainder of fiscal year 2002, potential delays in the completion of the reorganization process may result in the payment of some portion of these reorganization costs in fiscal year 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued, among other things, debt securities for the discharge of a substantial portion of the Debtors' liabilities subject to compromise. For information regarding debt securities, see Item 7. "-- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report as at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. There have been no material changes to the disclosure on debt securities made in such Form 10-K, except as described below. As of June 15, 2002, the Company's borrowing base was approximately $62 million under the revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), less $18.5 million in outstanding letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility, 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007 (the "Five-Year Secured Notes"), 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2009 (the "Seven-Year Unsecured Notes") and 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012 (the "Convertible Subordinated Notes"), are guaranteed by substantially all of Alderwoods Group's wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, other than Rose Hills and its subsidiaries, Alderwoods Group's insurance subsidiaries and certain other excluded subsidiaries. Alderwoods Group, the parent company, has no independent assets or operations, and the guarantees of its guarantor subsidiaries are full and unconditional, and joint and several. There are no cross-guarantees of debt between the Company and Rose Hills or its subsidiaries. On April 17, 2002, the Company called for the redemption of all its outstanding 12.25% Senior unsecured notes, due in 2004 (the "Two-Year Unsecured Notes"). On April 26, 2002, all outstanding Two-Year Unsecured Notes were redeemed for a total redemption price of $49.6 million, plus accrued interest to (but not including) April 26, 2002. On June 24, 2002, the Company announced its intention to make an optional redemption of $15.0 million of its 11.00% Senior secured notes, due in 2007, for a redemption price of $15.0 million, plus accrued interest. The Company anticipates completing this transaction by July 30, 2002. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of capital assets and amortization of grave spaces ("EBITDA") and recurring free cash flow for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, are presented in the table below. Recurring free cash flow is calculated by adjusting cash provided by operations to exclude non-recurring items, and then subtracting maintenance capital expenditures. EBITDA and recurring free cash flow are not terms that have specific meaning in 34 <Page> accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be calculated differently from other enterprises. They should not be considered in isolation from net earnings measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. <Table> <Caption> 12 WEEKS ENDED 24 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002 JUNE 15, 2002 -------------- -------------- (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) EBITDA: Earnings from operations.................................... $ 23.5 $ 54.8 Depreciation and amortization............................... 9.1 19.1 ------ ------ EBITDA...................................................... $ 32.6 $ 73.9 ====== ====== RECURRING FREE CASH FLOW: Cash provided by operations................................. $ 22.8 $ 37.3 Interest payable change.....................................

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS For the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, the Company acquired seven funeral homes in the United Kingdom for approximately $0.9 million. During the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, the Company sold or closed 28 funeral homes, 26 cemeteries and one combination funeral home and cemetery for net proceeds of approximately $15.9 million. At June 15, 2002, the Company had 12 funeral homes and 25 cemeteries under signed agreements for sale, with net assets and expected proceeds of approximately $3.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. On July 2, 2002, the Company completed the purchase of the stock held by the minority interest shareholder in certain Texas entities. Under the terms of such purchase agreement, the Company paid $5.4 million to acquire all of the minority interests, resulting in 100% ownership of all Texas operating locations. RESTRICTIONS The indentures governing the Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year Unsecured Notes and the 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012 will prohibit the Company from consummating certain asset sales unless (a) consideration at least equal to fair market value is received and (b) except with respect to specified assets, not less than 75% of the consideration for the asset sale is cash or cash equivalents. Within 270 days of the receipt of net proceeds from any such asset sale, the Company will be obligated to apply such net proceeds at its option (or as otherwise required) as follows: (a) to pay the Revolving Credit Facility and permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto, or (b) to make capital expenditures or acquisitions of other assets in the same line of business as the Company or certain of its subsidiaries or businesses related thereto. To the extent the Company receives net proceeds from any 35 <Page> such asset sale not applied in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence in excess of certain thresholds, the Company must offer to purchase Five-Year Secured Notes, Seven-Year Unsecured Notes or Convertible Subordinated Notes (in that order) with such excess proceeds. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are subject to certain state regulations that restrict distributions, loans and advances from such subsidiaries to the Company and its other subsidiaries. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK For information regarding the Company's exposure to certain market risks, see Item 7A. "--Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the Company's Annual Report as at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. As of June 15, 2002, there have been no material developments with respect to such matters since such Form 10-K was filed, except as noted below. The Company's debt instrument sensitivity to floating interest rates is based on the Company's floating rate debt being based in the United States. Accordingly, changes in U.S. interest rates can affect the interest paid on the Company's floating rate debt. The current mix of fixed and floating rate debt was determined by the Plan. At June 15, 2002, the Company's total fixed rate debt was $719.0 million, representing approximately 93% of total debt, and had a weighted average interest rate of 11.37%. The Company's floating interest rate exposure of $57.2 million at June 15, 2002, represents approximately 7% of total debt and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.9%. A one percent change in the applicable floating rate indices would cause an approximately $0.6 million change in the Company's annual interest expense. The principal cash flows and the related weighted average interest rates as of June 15, 2002, are presented below. The carrying values of the Company's debt instruments are included in Note 3 to the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.

Adverse operating results could cause the Company to be unable to achieve these financial ratios and tests, in which event, unless the Company were able to obtain waivers with respect to non-compliance, certain of the Company's long-term debt would be in default and the holders thereof could accelerate the maturities of such debt. 36 <Page> PART II ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS For information regarding the Company's legal proceedings, see Note 4 to the Company's interim consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which Note 4 is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS The Company has not yet selected the date for its 2003 annual meeting of stockholders, but anticipates that it will be held on or about May 1, 2003. Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that any stockholder proposals be submitted to the Company for action at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders not less than 120 calendar days before the date of any proxy statement that the Company released to stockholders last year, or, if the Company did not send such a proxy statement (which the Company did not, given the reorganization of the Predecessor), a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail the proxy statement for its 2003 annual meeting of stockholders. The Company believes that the proxy statement will be mailed on or about March 1, 2003, for its 2003 annual meeting of stockholders and that, therefore, a reasonable time before such mailing for the purpose of any stockholder proposals would be a deadline of November 1, 2002. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including certain statements made in the section entitled "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," in other filings made with the SEC, and elsewhere (including oral statements made on behalf of the Company) are forward- looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A(i) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continues," "anticipate," "intend," "expect" and similar expressions identify these forward-looking statements. Certain events or circumstances, including those described below under the caption "Risk Factors," could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated, projected or predicted. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. RISK FACTORS In addition to other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following important factors, among others, could cause future results to differ materially from estimates, predictions or projections. FUTURE REVENUES ARE UNCERTAIN 1. VOLUME, MIX AND MARGINS ARE UNCERTAIN. Revenue is significantly affected by the volume of services rendered and the mix and pricing of services and products sold. Cemetery revenues are also significantly affected by the fulfillment of previously sold pre-need cemetery contracts and the writing of pre-need cemetery contracts for interment rights. Margins are affected by changes in revenue, their related costs and the level of fixed costs in operating our funeral homes and cemeteries. Further, revenue and margins may be affected by competitive pricing strategies. 37 <Page> 2. NUMBER OF PRE-NEED CONTRACTS WRITTEN IS DEPENDENT UPON AN ADEQUATE SALESFORCE. The level of pre-need contracts written is dependent upon maintaining an adequate salesforce. Accordingly, the future success of the Company is dependent upon the Company's ability to attract, train and retain an adequate number of salespeople. 3. TRUST INCOME IS SUBJECT TO MARKET CONDITIONS. Cemetery revenue is impacted by the trust income on perpetual care trust funds which is recognized when the trust income is earned. Trust income on funeral and cemetery merchandise and service trust funds is deferred and revenue is recognized when the underlying merchandise and service obligations are fulfilled. The level of trust income is largely dependent on yields available in connection with the investment of the balances held in such trust funds. Available yields may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to conditions in the economy in general. 4. THE DEATH RATE MAY DECREASE. The death rate in the United States declined approximately 1% in 1997 and approximately 2% in 1998, reversing a trend of an approximate 1% increase per year since 1980. However, for the combined two-year period from 1998 to 2000, the death rate has declined by less than 1%. Industry studies indicate that the average age of the population is increasing. The financial results of the Company may be affected by any decline in the death rate. 5. THE RATE OF CREMATION IS INCREASING. There is an increasing trend in the United States toward cremation. According to industry studies, cremations represented approximately 26% of the burials performed in the United States in 2000, as compared with approximately 10% in 1980, and this percentage has been increasing by approximately 1% annually over the past five years. Compared to traditional funeral services, cremations have historically generated similar gross profit percentages but lower revenues. A substantial increase in the rate of cremations performed by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company. 6. DISPOSITIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT REVENUES. Revenue is also affected by the level of dispositions. The Predecessor's recent dispositions of funeral and cemetery properties had a significant and adverse impact on the Predecessor's revenue. The Company's future revenue may be similarly affected. THE COMPANY HAS SUBSTANTIAL DEBT 1. SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE WILL CONTINUE. The Company's total carrying value of long-term indebtedness (including the current portion thereof) is $782.0 million as of June 15, 2002. While the Company believes that future operating cash flow, together with financing arrangements, will be sufficient to finance operating requirements under the Company's business plan, the Company's leverage and debt service requirements could make it more vulnerable to economic downturns in the markets the Company intends to serve or in the economy generally. The Company's indebtedness could restrict its ability to obtain additional financing in the future and, because the Company may be more leveraged than certain of its competitors, could place the Company at a competitive disadvantage. 2. DEBT INSTRUMENTS CONTAIN RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT MAY LIMIT LIQUIDITY AND CORPORATE ACTIVITIES. The Revolving Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year Unsecured Notes, the Convertible Subordinated Notes and the Rose Hills debt contain covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company. For example, these covenants restrict the ability of Alderwoods Group, and most of its subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, prepay indebtedness, allow liens on assets, sell stock or other assets without using proceeds thereof to reduce the indebtedness of the Company, engage in mergers or acquisitions, make investments or pay dividends or distributions (other than to Alderwoods Group or one of its subsidiaries). These covenants could prohibit the Company from making acquisitions and adversely affect the Company's ability to finance future operations by limiting the incurrence of additional indebtedness or requiring equity issuance proceeds to be applied to reduce indebtedness. In addition, the Company is required to achieve specified earnings to fixed charges ratios and specified levels of tangible net worth. Adverse operating results could cause the 38 <Page> Company to be unable to achieve these financial ratios and tests, in which event, unless the Company were able to obtain appropriate waivers with respect to non-compliance, certain of the Company's long-term debt would be in default and the holders thereof could accelerate the maturities of such debt. 3. SUBSIDIARY STOCK IS SUBJECT TO SECURITY INTERESTS. The capital stock of subsidiaries directly owned by Alderwoods Group or a subsidiary guarantor of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to various liens and security interests, subject to percentage limitations in the case of foreign subsidiaries. If a holder of a security interest becomes entitled to exercise its rights as a secured party, it would have the right to foreclose upon and sell or otherwise transfer the collateral subject to its security interest, and the collateral accordingly would be unavailable to Alderwoods Group or the subsidiary owning the collateral, except to the extent, if any, that the value of the affected collateral exceeds the amount of indebtedness in respect of which such foreclosure rights are exercised. 4. THE SECURITY FOR THE FIVE-YEAR SECURED NOTES MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO SECURE PAYMENTS. The Company's obligations under the indenture governing the Five-Year Secured Notes is secured by collateral which consists of (i) substantially all personal property (other than capital stock) and (ii) the material funeral home real property assets pledged under the Revolving Credit Facility of the Company and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The rights of the holders of the Five-Year Secured Notes to this collateral will be subordinate to those of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds from the sale of this collateral may not be sufficient to satisfy amounts due on the Five-Year Secured Notes. If, upon a foreclosure on the collateral, the proceeds from the sale of such collateral is insufficient to satisfy the entire amount due on the Five-Year Secured Notes, the claim by the holders of the Five-Year Secured Notes against the Company for this deficiency would rank equally with the claims of the other general, unsubordinated creditors of the Company. The remaining assets of the Company may not be sufficient to satisfy this deficiency. 5. CERTAIN DEBT IS EFFECTIVELY SUBORDINATED TO OBLIGATIONS OF SUBSIDIARIES. Alderwoods Group principally is a holding company, and therefore its right to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon that subsidiary's dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that Alderwoods Group may be a creditor of that subsidiary and its claims are recognized. There are various legal limitations on the extent to which some of the subsidiaries of Alderwoods Group may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to, or engage in transactions with, the Company or its other subsidiaries. The Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year Unsecured Notes and the Convertible Subordinated Notes are effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the subsidiaries except to the extent that those subsidiaries have guaranteed obligations of Alderwoods Group to pay amounts due on the Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year Unsecured Notes or the Convertible Subordinated Notes, as applicable. THE TAX RATE IS UNCERTAIN 1. EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATE MAY VARY. The Company expects that its effective income tax rate for 2002 and beyond may vary significantly from the statutory tax rate because (i) the losses incurred in certain jurisdictions may not offset the tax expense in profitable jurisdictions, (ii) there are differences between foreign and United States income tax rates, and (iii) many tax years are subject to audit by different tax jurisdictions. 2. FEDERAL TAX AUDIT COULD IMPACT TAX RATE. In connection with the audit of the Predecessor's 1993 through 1998 federal income tax returns, the Company and the Internal Revenue Service have reached a tentative agreement that resolves certain issues that were in dispute. This tentative agreement has been submitted to the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation ("Joint Committee") for its review and approval. If approved by the Joint Committee, this tentative agreement would have a significant positive 39 <Page> effect on the Company's future tax rate in the year of settlement. However, the ultimate outcome and timing of the final resolution cannot be determined at this time. CAPITAL STOCK: LACK OF ESTABLISHED MARKET AND DIVIDENDS NOT ANTICIPATED; ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS 1. THERE IS LIMITED TRADING HISTORY FOR THE COMMON STOCK AND THE WARRANTS; VOLATILITY IS POSSIBLE. In January 2002, the Company's Common stock and warrants commenced trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Due to the limited trading history of the Company's Common stock and warrants, there can be no assurance that an active market for the Common stock and warrants will develop or, if any such market does develop, that it will continue to exist or as to the degree of price volatility in any such market that does develop. Moreover, the Common stock and warrants were issued pursuant to the Plan to holders of claims in several classes of creditors, some of which may prefer to liquidate their investment rather than hold it on a long-term basis. Accordingly, it is anticipated that the market for the Common stock and warrants will be volatile, at least for an initial period after the Effective Date. In addition, the market price of the Common stock and warrants may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to numerous factors, including variations in the Company's annual or quarterly financial results or those of its competitors, changes by financial analysts in their estimates of the future earnings of the Company, conditions in the economy in general or in the funeral industry in particular or unfavorable publicity. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the market value of the Common stock will exceed the exercise price of the warrants at any time prior to their expiration. 2. DIVIDENDS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED; PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTION. Alderwoods Group is not expected to pay any dividends on the Common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, covenants in the respective indentures governing the Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year Unsecured Notes and the Convertible Subordinated Notes and in the Revolving Credit Facility restrict the ability of Alderwoods Group to pay dividends and may prohibit the payment of dividends and certain other payments. Certain institutional investors may only invest in dividend-paying equity securities or may operate under other restrictions that may prohibit or limit their ability to invest in the Common stock. 3. CERTAIN PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND RIGHTS PLAN HAVE ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS. Certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, of Alderwoods Group, as well as the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Alderwoods Group. Such provisions, including those providing for the possible issuance of preferred stock of Alderwoods Group without stockholder approval, regulating the nomination of directors and eliminating stockholder action by written consent may make it more difficult for other persons, without the approval of the Board of Directors (the "Board of Alderwoods Group"), to make a tender offer or otherwise acquire substantial amounts of the Common stock or to launch other takeover attempts that a stockholder might consider to be in such stockholder's best interest. Additionally, the Company's short-term stockholder rights plan, which was adopted by the Board of Alderwoods Group on March 6, 2002, and became effective on March 26, 2002, may also delay, defer or prevent a change of control of Alderwoods Group. Under the rights plan, each outstanding share of Common stock has one right attached that trades with the Common stock. Absent prior action by the Board of Alderwoods Group to redeem the rights or amend the rights plan, upon the consummation of certain acquisition transactions, the rights would entitle the holder thereof (other than the acquiror) to purchase shares of Common stock at a discounted price in a manner designed to result in substantial dilution to the acquiror. LIMITED COMPARABILITY TO PREDECESSOR 1. HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION WILL NOT BE COMPARABLE. As a result of the consummation of the Plan, Alderwoods Group operates the businesses previously operated by the Loewen Companies under a new capital structure and has adopted fresh start reporting. Alderwoods Group has also changed its fiscal year and the length of quarterly periods. In addition, historically the financial statements of the 40 <Page> Predecessor did not consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Rose Hills Holding Corp. as do the financial statements of Alderwoods Group, and in the future the consolidated financial statements of Alderwoods Group will not reflect the assets, liabilities or results of operations of properties that, as part of the program to dispose of non-strategic assets, have been or will be sold or otherwise disposed of. Furthermore, as a result of the application of fresh start reporting on the Effective Date, the Company's gross margins on pre-need contracts entered into after the Effective Date will be significantly higher than gross margins on similar contracts entered into prior to the Effective Date. Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations of Alderwoods Group from and after the Effective Date will not be comparable to the financial condition or results of operations reflected in the historical financial statements of the Predecessor, including the interim consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. OTHER RISK FACTORS 1. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS MAY CHANGE TO THE DETRIMENT OF ALDERWOODS GROUP. The Company's operations are subject to regulation, supervision and licensing under numerous federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including extensive regulations concerning trust funds, pre-need sales of funeral and cemetery products and services, environmental matters and various other aspects of the business. The impact of such regulations varies depending on the location of funeral homes and cemeteries. From time to time, states and regulatory agencies have considered and may enact additional legislation or regulations that could affect the Company. For example, additional legislation or regulations requiring more liberal refund and cancellation policies for pre-need sales of products and services or prohibiting door-to-door or telephone solicitation of potential customers could adversely impact sales, resulting in lower gross revenues. Similarly, additional legislation or regulations increasing trust requirements could reduce the amount of cash available to the Company for other purposes. Additional legislation or regulations prohibiting the common ownership of funeral homes and cemeteries in the same market could adversely impact both sales and costs and expenses in the affected markets. If adopted in the states in which the Company operates, additional legislation or regulations such as these could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company. 2. ALDERWOODS GROUP PRINCIPALLY IS A HOLDING COMPANY. Alderwoods Group principally is a holding company, and therefore its right to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon that subsidiary's dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that Alderwoods Group may be a creditor of that subsidiary and its claims are recognized. There are various legal limitations on the extent to which some of the subsidiaries of Alderwoods Group may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to, or engage in transactions with, Alderwoods Group or its other subsidiaries. 3. OUTCOME OF NAFTA CLAIMS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT. In October 1998, the Predecessor filed claims against the government of the United States (the "NAFTA Claims") seeking damages under the arbitration provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"). Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor, through a series of transactions, transferred to the Company all of its assets, excluding legal title to the NAFTA Claims, and transferred to the Company the right to any and all proceeds from the NAFTA Claims. In addition, pursuant to the Plan, an undivided 25% interest in the proceeds, if any, of the NAFTA Claims as such proceeds may be adjusted as a result of the arbitration contemplated by the letter agreement between the Predecessor and Raymond L. Loewen, dated May 27, 1999 (the "NAFTA Arbitration Agreement"), less (a) any amounts payable under paragraph 3 of the NAFTA Arbitration Agreement and (b) any amounts payable pursuant to the contingency fee letter agreement between Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue and the Predecessor, dated July 25, 2000, was transferred to a liquidating trust for the benefit of creditors of the Debtors. Although the Company believes that these actions should not affect the NAFTA Claims, the government of the United States, respondent in the NAFTA proceeding, has asserted that these actions have divested the arbitration panel appointed pursuant to the rules of the International 41 <Page> Centre For Settlement of Investment Disputes of jurisdiction over some or all of the claims. The Company does not believe that it is possible at this time to predict the final outcome of this proceeding or to establish a reasonable estimate of the damages, if any, that may be awarded, or the proceeds, if any, that may be received in respect of the NAFTA Claims. 4. IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW CEMETERY CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS ONGOING. Although completed during 2001 for most locations, the Company will continue to finish its implementation of the new cemetery contract management system for a few remaining locations during 2002. The new cemetery contract management system provides for the recording and tracking of individual items and their respective deferred revenue fair values on cemetery contracts. In the December 31, 2001 Alderwoods Group consolidated balance sheet, due to certain locations not yet being established on the new system, deferred revenue was partially estimated based on a sample from the uncompleted locations. Management believes this process provided a reasonable basis for such estimate. However, as the implementation is completed during 2002, adjustments may be required to be made to the estimated deferred revenue. 42 <Page> ITEM 6.
