Financials 17 2 Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes thereto, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere herein. This Management's Discussion and Analysis contains certain forward-looking statements relating to the Company's development and acquisition programs that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth elsewhere herein under "Liquidity and Capital Resources." Unless the context suggest otherwise, references herein to the "Company" or "Sunrise" mean Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. and its subsidiaries and predecessor entities. OVERVIEW The Company is a leading provider of assisted living services for seniors. The Company currently operates 66 facilities in 13 states with a capacity of approximately 5,750 residents, including 59 facilities owned by the Company or in which it has ownership interests and seven facilities managed for third parties. The Company also operates two skilled nursing facilities owned by a third party. The Company provides assistance with the activities of daily living and other personalized support services ("Basic Care") in a residential setting for elderly residents who cannot live independently but who do not need the level of medical care provided in a skilled nursing facility. The Company also provides additional specialized care and services to residents with certain low acuity medical needs--Assisted Living Plus Care ("Plus Care") and residents with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia ("Alzheimer's Care"). By offering this full range of services, the Company is able to accommodate the changing needs of residents as they age and develop further physical or cognitive frailties. The Company reported net income of $4.0 million, or $0.20 per share (diluted), on revenue of $89.9 million for 1997, compared to a loss of $4.8 million, or $0.51 per share (diluted), on revenue of $47.3 million for 1996, including an unusual charge of $1.0 million. Without the one-time unusual charge, the Company's net loss for 1996 would have been $3.8 million. The Company had a net loss of $10.1 million for 1995. A subsidiary of the Company has obtained a syndicated revolving credit facility for $250.0 million to be used for general corporate purposes, including the continued construction and development of assisted living facilities. The Company guarantees the repayment of all amounts outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility is for a term of three years with the right to extend, and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the real property and improvements and first liens on all assets of the subsidiary. Advances under the facility bear interest at rates from LIBOR plus 1.0% to LIBOR plus 1.5%. On June 6, 1997, the Company issued and sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 51/2% convertible subordinated notes due 2002 (the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at 51/2% per annum payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 1997. The conversion price is $37.1875 (equivalent to a conversion rate of 26.89 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes). The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company commencing June 15, 2000, at specified premiums. The holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control (as defined) of the Company. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $145.6 million. On June 10, 1997, the Company used $57.7 million of the net proceeds to pay down floating rate indebtedness from four financial institutions at a weighted average interest rate of 8.4%. The balance of the net proceeds are being used to fund continued development of new Sunrise model facilities and for possible acquisitions, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. On February 5, 1997, the Company acquired a 120-unit assisted and independent living facility in Valencia, California and on August 19, 1997, the Company purchased a 76-unit assisted living facility in Napa, California. The Company had initially leased the Napa facility on April 1, 1997. On December 24, 1997, the Company acquired a 30-unit assisted and independent living facility in Dunwoody, Georgia and on December 31, 1997, the Company purchased a 29-unit assisted living facility located in Weston, Massachusetts. The combined acquisition price for all four facilities totaled $27.1 million. On May 1, 1997, the Company purchased the minority 50% interest held by an unrelated third party in a facility located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The purchase price of approximately $1.0 million was based on a buy-out schedule specified in the operating agreement of the limited liability company that holds title to the property. On October 1, 1997, the Company purchased each of the remaining 49% interests held by an unrelated third party in facilities located in Annapolis and Pikesville, Maryland for a purchase price of $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Each of these facilities are currently 100% owned by the Company. During 1997, the Company completed 20 facilities. Between December 31, 1997, and March 4, 1998, the Company completed construction of five additional facilities. Financials 18 3 The Company's previously announced growth objectives include developing at least 55 new Sunrise model assisted living facilities with an additional resident capacity of more than 4,500 by the end of 1999. To date, the Company has completed development of 27 such facilities with a resident capacity of 2,400 and has 16 facilities currently under construction with a resident capacity of 1,490. The Company has also entered into contracts to purchase 33 additional sites and to lease two additional sites. The Company is pursuing additional development opportunities and also plans to acquire additional facilities as market conditions warrant. In order to achieve its growth plans, the Company will be required to obtain a substantial amount of additional financing. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds to the Company of the Notes, together with existing working capital, financing commitments and financing expected to be available, will be sufficient to fund its development and acquisition programs for at least the next 18 months. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources." The Company derives its revenues from two primary sources: (i) resident fees for the delivery of assisted living services and (ii) management services income for management and development of facilities owned by third parties. Historically, most of the Company's operating revenue has come from resident fees, which in 1997 and 1996 comprised 95.3% and 93.3% of total operating revenues, respectively. Resident fees typically are paid monthly by residents, their families or other responsible parties. In 1997 and 1996, approximately 99% of the Company's revenue was derived from private pay sources. Resident fees include revenue derived from Basic Care, community fees, Plus Care, Alzheimer's Care and other sources. Community fees are one-time fees generally equal to 60 times the daily resident fee payable by a resident upon admission. Plus Care and Alzheimer's Care fees are paid by residents who require personal care in excess of services provided under the Basic Care program. Management services income, which in 1997 and 1996 accounted for the remaining 4.7% and 6.7% of revenues, consists of management fees which are generally in the range of 5% to 7% of a managed facility's total operating revenues and development fees for site acquisition, development services, facility design and construction management services. The Company classifies its operating expenses into the following categories: (i) facility operating, which includes labor, food, marketing and other direct facility expenses; (ii) facility development and pre-rental, which include non-capitalized development expenses and pre-opening labor and marketing expenses; (iii) general and administrative, which primarily include headquarters and regional staff expenses and other overhead costs; (iv) depreciation and amortization; and (v) facility lease, which represents rental expenses for facilities not owned by the Company. In connection with implementation of of its growth plans, the Company made significant investments in its infrastructure through the addition of information technology in 1997, as well as continued additions to headquarters and regional staff. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain data expressed as a percentage of operating revenue: Year Ended December 31, - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1997 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating revenue 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Operating expenses: Facility operating 59.3 59.7 56.0 Facility development and pre-rental 6.2 5.1 3.1 General and administrative 11.6 21.2 18.5 Depreciation and amortization 11.8 8.6 8.1 Facility lease 1.7 0.3 0.4 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income from operations 9.4 5.1 13.9 Other income (expense): Interest income 7.6 7.0 3.3 Interest expense (12.8) (20.6) (44.4) Equity in earnings of unconsolidated partnerships 0.1 -- -- Minority interests 0.2 0.5 -- Unusual charge -- (2.1) -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income (loss) 4.5% (10.1)% (27.2)% ============================================================================ YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for 1997 increased 89.8% to $89.9 million from $47.3 million in 1996 due primarily to the growth in resident fees. Resident fees (including community fees and fees for Basic Care, Plus Care, Alzheimer's Care and other services) for 1997 increased 93.9% to $85.6 million from $44.2 million in 1996. This increase was due primarily to the inclusion, in 1997, of additional total revenue of $23.1 million generated from 23 Sunrise developed facilities opened in late 1996 and throughout 1997, and $16.1 million generated from the operations of 9 acquired facilities. Other increases in revenue were due primarily to increases in average resident occupancy and management services income. Average resident occupancy for owned facilities operated by the Company for at least 12 months, or that have achieved stabilization of 95% ("Stabilized Facilities"), remained unchanged in 1997 at 94% compared to 1996. The average daily resident fee (excluding community fees) for Stabilized Facilities decreased to $78 for 1997 from $80 for 1996. Excluding acquired facilities, the average daily resident fee (excluding community fees) remained unchanged at $84 in 1997 compared to 1996. Financials 19 4 Management services income for 1997 increased by $1.1 million, or 33.6%, to $4.2 million from $3.2 million in 1996 due to an increase in fees for management and development services relating to the development of facilities for joint ventures and third party owners. Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for 1997 increased 81.3% to $81.5 million from $44.9 million in 1996. The increase in operating expenses in 1997 is attributable to increases in all of the following areas: facility operating, facility development and pre-rental, depreciation and amortization, and facility lease expenses. Facility operating expenses for 1997 increased 88.5% to $53.3 million from $28.3 million in 1996. As a percentage of operating revenue, facility operating expenses in 1997 decreased to 59.3% from 59.7% in 1996 as revenues increased at a faster rate than facility operating expenses. The $25.0 million increase was primarily related to expenses from the operations of 9 acquired and 23 developed facilities during 1996 and 1997. Facility development and pre-rental expenses for 1997 increased by 130.8% to $5.6 million from $2.4 million in 1996. As a percentage of operating revenue, facility development and pre-rental expenses increased to 6.2% from 5.1%. This increase was due to a $1.0 million increase in non-capitalized labor and related development costs, and a $2.2 million increase in start up costs relating to 20 new facilities opened during 1997. General and administrative expenses in 1997 increased 4.1% to $10.5 million from $10.0 million in 1996. As a percentage of operating revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 11.6% in 1997 from 21.2% in 1996. The $0.4 million increase was due to a $1.0 million increase in labor costs, offset, in part, by a $0.6 million decrease attributable to various other corporate and regional expenses. The provision for bad debts was $0.9 million in 1997 and $0.7 million in 1996, respectively. Of the 1997 provision, $0.4 million relates to certain subordinated management fees, $0.1 million relates to one-time consulting fees and the remainder relates to resident services revenue. Depreciation and amortization in 1997 increased 161.7% to $10.6 million from $4.0 million in 1996 primarily due to the opening of 23 developed facilities and the acquisition of 9 other facilities during 1996 and 1997. Other Income (Expense). Interest income for 1997 increased 108.1% to $6.9 million from $3.3 million in 1996. This increase was primarily due to the investment of funds received from the Company's initial public offering (the "Initial Offering") and follow-on offering (the "Second Offering") completed during 1996, as well as net proceeds received from the issuance and sale of the Notes in June 1997. Interest expense for 1997 increased 18.0% to $11.5 million from $9.7 million in 1996. This increase was due to $4.7 million of interest on $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes and an increase of $1.6 million of interest for other borrowings, net of interest rate reductions described below, offset, in part, by an increase in capitalized interest of $4.5 million. Interest rate reductions include the following: (i) a lender agreeing (effective March 4, 1997) to reduce the interest rate applicable to the $22.0 million outstanding portion of variable rate indebtedness from LIBOR plus 3.75% to LIBOR plus 1.75%; (ii) the Company renegotiating interest rate reductions from LIBOR plus 2.75% to corresponding U.S. Treasuries plus 1.00% on $15.7 million of credit facilities; (iii) the Company renegotiating interest rate reductions from LIBOR plus 2.95% to corresponding U.S. Treasuries plus 1.10% on a $7.4 million credit facility; and (iv) the Company entering into a swap transaction (effective August 20, 1997) whereby outstanding advances of up to $7.0 million under LIBOR floating rate debt bear interest at a fixed LIBOR base rate of 7.14%. Net Income (loss). The Company had net income of $4.0 million in 1997, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million in 1996. The net income for 1997 resulted primarily from a $42.6 million increase in operating revenue coupled with a $1.8 million decrease in net interest expense and a $1.0 million decrease from a one time unusual charge in 1996 offset, in part, by a $36.6 million increase in operating expenses. The Company did not recognize any Federal income tax expense in 1997 because tax deductions generated from the exercise of employee stock options exceeded pretax income. At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $19.2 million which expire in years 2010 and 2012. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for 1996 increased 27.1% to $47.3 million from $37.3 million in 1995 due primarily to the growth in resident fees. Resident fees (including community fees and fees for Basic Care, Plus Care, Alzheimer's Care and other services) for 1996 increased 27.1% to $44.2 million from $34.8 million in 1995. This increase was due primarily to the inclusion, in 1996, of six acquired facilities with total revenue of $4.5 million, three newly developed facilities with revenue totaling $2.2 million and additional revenue generated by increases in the average resident occupancy and average daily rate for owned facilities operated by the Company for at least 12 months, totaling $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Average resident occupancy for Stabilized Facilities was 93.6% in 1996 compared to 91.7% in 1995. Resident occupancy, including vacancies attributable to renovations at two facilities in order to meet requirements for accepting non-ambulatory residents and the relocation of non-ambulatory residents at a third facility, was 89.6% for 1995. The average daily resident fee (excluding community fees) for Stabilized Facilities remained unchanged in 1996 at $80 compared to 1995. Excluding acquired facilities, the average daily resident fee (excluding community fees) increased to $84 in 1996. Management services income for 1996 increased by $0.7 million, or 26.7%, to $3.2 million from $2.5 million in 1995 due to an increase in management fees and one-time consulting fees. Financials 20 5 Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for 1996 increased 40.1% to $44.9 million from $32.1 million in 1995. The increase in operating expenses in 1996 is attributable primarily to growth in facility operating and general and administrative expenses. Facility operating expenses for 1996 increased 35.4% to $28.3 million from $20.9 million in 1995. As a percentage of operating revenue, facility operating expenses in 1996 increased to 59.7% from 56.0% in 1995. Of the $7.4 million increase in facility operating expenses, $5.0 million was attributable to the opening in 1996 of three newly developed facilities as well as the acquisition of six facilities. The remaining $2.4 million was due to an increase in salaries, benefits, training, marketing and other general expenses at existing facilities. Facility development and pre-rental expenses for 1996 increased by 106.5% to $2.4 million from $1.2 million in 1995. This increase was due to a $0.7 million increase in non-capitalized labor and related development costs, a $0.7 increase in start up costs offset, in part, by a $0.2 increase in other capitalized costs. There were 20 facilities under construction at December 31, 1996, compared to 6 facilities at December 31, 1995. General and administrative expenses in 1996 increased 46.1% to $10.0 million from $6.9 million in 1995. As a percentage of operating revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 21.2% in 1996 from 18.5% in 1995. Of the $3.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses in 1996, approximately 47.3% was related to labor costs. The remaining increase of $1.7 million was attributable to marketing, consulting, taxes, travel and other general expenses. The provision for bad debts was $0.7 million in 1996 and $0.2 million in 1995, respectively. Of the $0.5 million increase, $0.2 million relates to a one-time consulting fee and $0.3 million relates to certain subordinated management fees. Depreciation and amortization in 1996 increased 34.5% to $4.0 million from $3.0 million in 1995 primarily due to the opening of three developed facilities and the acquisition of six other facilities and amortization of $0.3 million of capitalized pre-rental costs over 12 months. Other Income (Expense). Interest income for 1996 increased 168.3% to $3.3 million from $1.2 million in 1995 primarily due to a $1.7 million increase from the investment of funds received from the Initial and Second Offerings and interest earned on $5.8 million of revenue bonds purchased in March 1995 (the Company has an option to purchase the facility subject to the revenue bonds, at any time, for fair market value). Interest expense for 1996 decreased 41.3% to $9.7 million from $16.6 million in 1995. In June 1996, the Company paid approximately $8.6 million to a lender as payment in full of a 25% participation interest. During 1995, the Company recorded $5.4 million of expense related to such participation Interest. In addition, the Company paid $8.0 million to prepay a portion of the variable rate indebtedness. The lender reduced the interest rate applicable to the $22.0 million outstanding portion of variable rate indebtedness from LIBOR plus 5.75% to LIBOR plus 3.75%. On March 4, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with the lender reducing further the interest rate from LIBOR plus 3.75% down to LIBOR plus 1.75%. Unusual Charge. In order to avoid a possible change in the Company's ability to continue to manage two facilities resulting from the reduction in Paul and Teresa Klaassen's (the "Founders") ownership interest in the Company following completion of the Company's Initial Offering in June 1996, the Company made a $1.0 million cash payment to the third-party limited partner in these two facilities in exchange for the transfer to the Company by the third party of additional 1% partnership interests in each facility (with a total book value of $18,700) and the elimination of any requirement for the Founders to maintain a specified ownership interest in the Company. This was reflected as an unusual charge during 1996. Net Loss. The Company incurred a net loss of $4.8 million in 1996, compared to a net loss of $10.1 million in 1995. The reduction in the net loss for 1996 resulted primarily from a $10.1 million increase in operating revenue coupled with a $6.8 million decrease in interest expense and a $2.0 million increase in interest income offset , in part, by a $12.8 million increase in operating expenses and a $1.0 million unusual charge. The Company did not recognize any Federal income tax expense in 1996 because of such net loss. At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $15.7 million which expire in years 2010 and 2011. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES To date, the Company has financed its operations from long-term borrowings, equity offerings and cash generated from operations. At December 31, 1997, the Company had $341.0 million of outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 6.72%. Of such amount, the Company had $260.8 million of fixed-rate debt (excluding a $1.4 million loan discount) at a weighted average interest rate of 6.5%, and $81.6 million of variable-rate debt at a weighted average interest rate of 7.4%. Increases in prevailing interest rates could increase the Company's interest payment obligations relating to variable-rate debt. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. A subsidiary of the Company has obtained a syndicated revolving credit facility for $250.0 million to be used for general corporate purposes, including the continued construction and development of assisted living facilities. The Company guarantees the repayment of all amounts outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility is for a term of three years with the right to extend, and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the real property and improvements and first liens on all assets of the subsidiary. Advances under the facility bear interest at rates from LIBOR plus 1.0% to LIBOR plus 1.5%. At December 31, 1997, there were $51.0 million of advances outstanding under this facility and available credit remaining of $199.0 million. Financials 21 6 On June 6, 1997, the Company issued and sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 51/2% convertible subordinated notes due 2002. The Notes bear interest at 51/2% per annum payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 1997. The conversion price is $37.1875 (equivalent to a conversion rate of 26.89 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes). The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company commencing June 15, 2000, at specified premiums. The holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control (as defined) of the Company. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $145.6 million. On June 10, 1997, the Company used $57.7 million of the net proceeds to pay down floating rate indebtedness from four financial institutions with a combined weighted average interest rate of 8.4%. The Company expects to use the balance of the net proceeds and the recent expansion of an existing syndicated revolving credit facility to fund continued development of new Sunrise model facilities and for possible acquisitions as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. A subsidiary of the Company has received a commitment for a $51.0 million revolving construction credit facility. The credit facility provides for construction and interim loans to finance the development of up to seven assisted living facilities. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had closed $32.1 million of the total commitment. The Company has agreed to guarantee the repayment of all amounts outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility is for a term of five years and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the real property and liens on receivables. Advances under the credit facility bear variable interest rates based upon LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 2.60%. As of December 31, 1997, there were $4.7 million of advances outstanding under this facility. The Company has received a commitment for a $15.7 million revolving construction credit facility. As of December 31, 1997, the Company has closed on the total commitment amount. The credit facility provides for construction and interim loans to finance the development of up to two assisted living facilities. The Company guarantees the repayment of all amounts outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility is for a term of three years and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the real property and improvements and first liens on all other assets of the subsidiary. Advances under the credit facility bear variable interest rates based upon LIBOR plus 1.25% to LIBOR plus 1.75%. There were no advances outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 1997. Effective March 4, 1997, a lender agreed to reduce the interest rate applicable to the $22.0 million outstanding portion of variable rate indebtedness from LIBOR plus 3.75% to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The Company also has renegotiated interest rate reductions from LIBOR plus 2.75% to corresponding U.S. Treasuries plus 1.00% on $15.7 million of credit facilities. In addition, the Company has renegotiated an interest rate reduction from LIBOR plus 2.95% to U.S. Treasuries plus 1.10% on a $7.4 million credit facility. The Company has entered into a swap transaction whereby effective during the period June 18, 1998, through June 18, 2001, outstanding advances of up to $19.0 million under LIBOR floating rate debt bear interest at a fixed rate based on a fixed LIBOR base rate of 7.3%. The Company has entered into another swap transaction whereby, effective during the period August 20, 1997 through April 1, 2003, outstanding advances of up to $7.0 million under LIBOR floating rate debt bear interest at a fixed LIBOR base rate of 7.14%. During 1997, the Company paid $17,000 pursuant to the swap transaction applicable to $7.0 million of outstanding advances under LIBOR floating rate. Pursuant to an acquisition in 1994 of certain assets, the Company had unconditionally guaranteed any amounts required by three related limited partnerships (the "LPs") to honor the LP's commitments in 1997, to provide a guaranteed 9% return to the limited partners and to repurchase the limited partnership interests of the limited partners. During 1997, the Company paid $2.6 million to satisfy and complete its guarantee. The guarantees were considered to be contingent acquisition costs. As such, the carrying value of the assets acquired in the exchange were increased by the amount. Working capital decreased to $70.3 million at December 31, 1997, compared to $102.8 million as of December 31, 1996, primarily due to the Company's continued investment in the development of Sunrise model facilities. Cash provided by operating activities increased to $8.3 million for 1997 as compared to $0.8 million for 1996, including a $1.0 million payment to a third-party limited partner which was charged to expense, and $0.9 million for 1995. The continued increase reflects the operational stabilization of new Sunrise facilities and the additional operations of acquired facilities. Unrestricted cash balances were $82.6 million and $101.8 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $221.8 million, $112.5 million and $17.9 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company's investing activities included $213.6 million, $103.7 million and $12.6 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, related to the Company's development activities. Investing activities in 1997 include net purchases of investments and notes receivable of $16.9 million and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $8.3 million. Investing activities in 1996 included the purchase of $8.1 million of marketable securities. Investing activities in 1995 included the purchase of $5.4 million of tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds. During 1997, the Company's financing activities provided net cash of $194.4 million compared to $207.3 million and $15.1 million provided in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash was provided by additional borrowings of $255.6 million which includes the Notes. Financials 22 7 During 1997, the Company made repayments of debt amounting to $59.4 million, including $57.7 million used from net proceeds received from the Notes. Additionally, $1.4 million was used to repay notes payable to affiliated partnerships. The Company also paid $6.5 million in financing costs during 1997 related to additional borrowings and available credit facilities. In 1996, cash was provided by the Company's Initial and Second Offerings, as well as, $28.9 million provided by additional borrowings. Also during 1996, the Company paid $8.6 million as payment in full of the 25% participating interest in cash flow and appreciation in the value of certain properties. In addition, in 1996, the Company prepaid $8.0 million of its variable rate debt, paid $0.3 million in dividends to holders of Series B Exchangeable Preferred Stock and $1.4 million in various financing costs. In 1995, $9.3 million was provided by additional borrowings relating primarily to the construction of facilities, and $20.2 million in net proceeds was provided by the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, $9.6 million in cash distributions were made in 1995. The Company's previously announced three-year growth objectives include developing at least 55 new Sunrise model assisted living facilities with an additional resident capacity of more than 4,500 by the end of 1999. To date, the Company has completed development of 27 such facilities with a resident capacity of 2,400 (East Cobb, GA, Fresno, CA, Haverford, PA, Decatur, GA, Walnut Creek, CA, Glen Cove, NY, Ivey Ridge, GA, Cohasset, MA, Denver, CO, Alexandria, VA, Norwood, MA, Wayne, NJ, Wayland, MA, Westfield, NJ, Rockville, MD, Philadelphia, PA (3), Old Tappan, NJ, Morris Plains, NJ, Severna Park, MD (2), Springfield, VA, Oakton, VA, Petaluma, CA, Blue Bell, PA, and Columbia, MD) and has 16 facilities currently under construction with a resident capacity of 1,490. The Company has also entered into contracts to purchase 33 additional sites and to lease two additional sites. The Company is pursuing additional development opportunities and also plans to acquire additional facilities as market conditions warrant. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, the recent expansion of an existing credit facility, together with existing working capital, financing commitments and financing expected to be available, will be sufficient to fund its development and acquisition programs for at least the next 18 months. The estimated cost to complete and lease up the 28 remaining new Sunrise model facilities targeted for completion by the end of 1999 is between $238 million and $336 million. Additional financing will be required to complete the Company's growth plans and to refinance existing indebtedness if cash flows from operations do not increase as a result of planned growth. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. The Company's ability to achieve its development plans will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. There can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer delays in its development program, which could slow the Company's growth. The successful development of additional assisted living facilities will involve a number of risks, including the possibility that the Company may be unable to locate suitable sites at acceptable prices or may be unable to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy, licensing and other required governmental permits and authorizations. The Company may also incur construction costs that exceed original estimates, may not complete construction projects on schedule and may experience competition in the search for suitable development sites. The Company relies on third-party general contractors to construct its new assisted living facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties in working with general contractors and subcontractors, which could result in increased construction costs and delays. Further, facility development is subject to a number of contingencies over which the Company will have little control and that may adversely affect project cost and completion time, including shortages of, or the inability to obtain, labor or materials, the inability of the general contractor or subcontractor to perform under their contracts, strikes, adverse weather conditions and changes in applicable laws or regulations or in the method of applying such laws and regulations. Accordingly, if the Company is unable to achieve its development plans, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. The Company's previously announced growth plan included the acquisition of up to 15 facilities by the end of 1999, of which nine have been acquired. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the acquisition of additional assisted living facilities. The success of the Company's acquisitions will be determined by numerous factors, including the Company's ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, competition for such acquisitions, the purchase price, the financial performance of the facilities after acquisition and the ability of the Company to integrate or operate acquired facilities effectively may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's financing documents contain financial covenants and other restrictions that (i) require the Company to meet certain financial tests and maintain certain escrows of funds, (ii) require that one of the Company's Founders serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (iii) require consent for changes in management or control of the Company, (iv) limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets and engage in mergers or other business combinations, and (v) prohibit the Company from operating competing facilities within certain distances from mortgaged facilities. At December 31, 1997, the Company had stockholders' equity of $195.3 million compared to a stockholders' equity of $185.8 million at December 31, 1996. The change resulted from adding the receipt of $5.5 million from the exercise of employee options for common stock and net income for 1997 of $4.0 million. Financials 23 8 IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement 131"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement 131 establishes standards for the way that a public company reports information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those companies report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company will adopt the new requirements in 1998. Management has not completed its review of Statement 131; however, the adoption of Statement 131 is not anticipated to affect results of operations or financial position, but could add to the Company's current operating disclosures. IMPACT OF INFLATION Resident fees from Company-owned assisted living facilities and management services income from facilities operated by the Company for third parties are the primary sources of revenue for the Company. These revenues are affected by daily resident fee rates and facility occupancy rates. The rates charged for the delivery of assisted living services are highly dependent upon local market conditions and the competitive environment in which the facilities operate. In addition, employee compensation expense is the principal cost element of property operations. Employee compensation, including salary increases and the hiring of additional staff to support the Company's growth initiatives, have previously had a negative impact on operating margins and may again do so in the foreseeable future. Substantially all of the Company's resident agreements are for terms of one year (but are terminable by the resident at any time upon 30 days' notice) and allow, at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the daily fees payable thereunder, and thus may enable the Company to seek increases in daily fees due to inflation or other factors. Any such increase would be subject to market and competitive conditions and could result in a decrease in occupancy of the Company's facilities. The Company believes, however, that the short-term nature of its resident agreements generally serves to reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse effect of inflation. There can be no assurance that resident fees will increase or that costs will not increase due to inflation or other causes. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 Some of the older computer programs utilized by the Company were written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As a result, those computer programs have time-sensitive software that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000 ("Year 2000 Issue"). This could cause a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. During the past year, the Company has continued to invest resources developing the needed infrastructure to support current and anticipated growth. In most cases, the Company has implemented financial and accounting systems that will support its development plans, which includes year 2000 compliant software. To date, financial and accounting systems implemented or updated that are year 2000 compliant include the accounting general ledger system, the resident billing system, the cash disbursement or accounts payable system, the development or project cost system, the fixed asset system, the employee stock option system and substantially all software residing on the Company's home office and facility desk-top and lap-top computers. The Company recently selected for implementation during 1998 a payroll system with expanded functionality. Included among the requirements for selection is that the payroll system be year 2000 compliant. The project is estimated to be completed not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact of the Year 2000 Issue on its operations. The Company will continue to assess its software to determine whether additional portions will have to be modified or replaced so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The Company believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, planned and completed, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems or costs. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company. The costs of the payroll system conversion and the date on which the Company believes it will complete the year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of certain resources and other factors. However, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties Financials 24 9 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Stockholders and Board of Directors Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc.

Financials 29 14 Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1997 1. ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading provider of assisted living services for seniors. Assisted living services provide a residence, meals and non-medical assistance to elderly residents for a monthly fee. The Company's services are generally not covered by health insurance and therefore monthly fees are generally payable by the residents, their family, or another responsible party. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on December 14, 1994. The consolidated financial statements include the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries that manage, own and develop assisted living facilities. The consolidated financial statements also include subsidiaries that own facilities in which the Company has equity interests ranging from 50% to 100%. It is the Company's policy to consolidate non-wholly owned interests when, through its managing partnership or operating agreements, status as manager of the facility and sole general partner, the Company holds unilateral ability to conduct the ordinary course of business of the facility. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company accounts for other significant interests on the equity method, because the Company is able to influence significantly both operating and financial decisions. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION Operating revenue consists of resident fee revenue and management services revenue. Resident fee revenue is recognized when services are rendered. Generally, resident community fees approximating sixty times the daily residence fee are received from potential residents upon occupancy. Resident community fees are recognized as income over the first ninety days of the resident's stay and are ratably refundable if the prospective resident does not move into the facility or moves out of the facility within ninety days. Agreements with residents are for a term of one year and are cancelable by residents with thirty days' notice. Management services revenue is comprised of revenue from management contracts and revenue from development contracts. Revenue from management contracts is recognized in the month in which it is earned in accordance with the terms of the management contract. Revenue from development contracts is recognized over the term of the respective development contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Details of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable are as follows: (in thousands) 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning balance $ 927 $ 235 Provision for bad debts 893 734 Accounts written off (22) (42) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ending balance $1,798 $ 927 ============================================================================ PRE-RENTAL COSTS Costs incurred to initially rent facilities are capitalized and amortized over 12 months. All other pre-rental costs are expensed as incurred. Pre-rental costs and accumulated amortization included in other assets are as follows: December 31, (in thousands) 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-rental costs $ 9,393 $1,674 Accumulated amortization (3,973) (345) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 5,420 $1,329 ============================================================================ PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and include interest and property taxes capitalized on long-term construction projects during the construction period, as well as other costs directly related to the development and construction of facilities. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Property and equipment of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the asset's undiscounted expected cash flows are not sufficient to recover its carrying amount. The Company measures an impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. Fair value of an asset is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows. Construction in progress includes pre-acquisition costs and other direct costs related to acquisition, development and construction of facilities including certain direct costs of the Company's development subsidiary. If a project is abandoned, any costs previously capitalized are expensed. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS Costs incurred in connection with obtaining permanent financing for Company-owned facilities have been deferred and are amortized over the term of the financing using the effective interest method. Deferred financing fees and accumulated amortization are as follows: December 31, (in thousands) 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred financing fees $ 9,394 $3,915 Accumulated amortization (1,935) (815) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 7,459 $3,100 ============================================================================ INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis (temporary differences). CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include currency on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. MARKETABLE SECURITIES At December 31, 1996, marketable securities consisted of high- quality commercial paper with maturities not greater than 182 days at date of purchase. These securities were classified as available-for-sale. The carrying amount of these investments approximated their market value at December 31, 1996. Financials 30 15 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and accordingly recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants. INTERESTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS The Company's interest in accumulated losses of unconsolidated partnerships are recorded below the Company's cost basis, which reflects the Company's obligations as the general partner. The Company has no liability for any other material commitments or contingencies of partnerships in which it is a general partner. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement 131"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement 131 establishes standards for the way that a public company reports information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those companies report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company will adopt the new requirements in 1998. Management has not completed its review of Statement 131; however, the adoption of Statement 131 is not anticipated to affect results of operations or financial position, but could add to the Company's current operating disclosures. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain 1996 and 1995 balances have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. 3.

INVESTMENT AND NOTES RECEIVABLE On March 1, 1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding mortgage revenue bonds used to finance a facility managed by the Company. The 10% Bucks County Industrial Development Authority, First Mortgage Revenue Bonds, July 1, 2019, having a face value of $12.5 million, were purchased for $5,000,000. The bonds were in financial default when purchased. On June 30, 1995, the bonds were restructured, at no gain or loss to the Company, to reduce their face amount to $5,750,000 (Series A and C) and provide the facility managed by the Company additional funding up to $750,000 for renovations (Series B). Interest only is payable until maturity. The balances outstanding are as follows: Face Amount (in thousands) December 31, - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description 1997 1996 Interest Rate Maturity Date - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Series A $5,000 $5,000 11% July 1, 2025 Series B 750 750 11% July 1, 2015 Series C 750 750 20% subject to July 1, 2010 available cash Bond discount (750) (750) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- $5,750 $5,750 =========================================================================== Subsequent to June 30, 1995, all interest payments on these bonds are current. The Company recognized $783,000, $752,000 and $443,000 in interest income during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, on this investment. The bond discount will be recognized as income over the life of the loan commencing when realizable. These bonds are classified as available-for-sale. Management believes the net carrying cost of the bonds approximates market value at December 31, 1997 and 1996. In October 1997, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company jointly formed a limited liability company ("LLC") with an unrelated third party in which the Company's subsidiary owns a 9% minority interest. The purpose of the LLC is to develop, construct and own assisted living facilities. The Company loaned the LLC $15 million (the "note") to help finance initial development and construction of six properties. The note is subordinated to other lenders of the LLC. In September 1997, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company loaned $1.9 million ("promissory note") to owners of certain property ("owners") on which the Company plans to develop an assisted living facility. The proceeds of the promissory note were used by the owners to retire a note previously outstanding and secured by the same property. Immediately following issuance of the promissory note, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company extended an existing purchase agreement with the owners to acquire this property. The entire sum of principal and unpaid accrued interest of the promissory note is due on the earliest to occur of: (i) 270 days following the termination of the purchase and sale agreement by either the owners or the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; (ii) any breach of the purchase agreement by the owners; or (iii) the closing date as defined in the purchase agreement. Notes receivable plus accrued interest consist of the following: December 31, (in thousands) 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Promissory note, interest accrues at prime (8.50% at December 31, 1997) $ 1,905 $ -- Note with an unconsolidated affiliate, interest accrues at LIBOR (5.72% at December 31, 1997) plus 5% principal and interest due October 16, 2003 15,343 -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $17,248 $ -- ============================================================================ Management believes the net carrying cost of the notes approximates market value at December 31, 1997. 5. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets are net receivables from unconsolidated partnerships or limited liability companies of $4.1 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Included in other current liabilities are payables to unconsolidated partnerships or limited liability companies of $600,000 and $-0-as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net receivables Financials 31 16 from and payables to unconsolidated partnerships or limited liability companies relate primarily to development activities.

The Notes bear interest at 51/2% per annum payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 1997. The conversion price is $37.1875 (equivalent to a conversion rate of 26.89 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes). The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company commencing June 15, 2000, at specified premiums. The holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control (as defined) of the Company. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $145.6 million. The Multi-Property Mortgage is collateralized by a blanket first mortgage on all assets of a subsidiary of the Company, consisting of 15 facilities which had a book value of approximately $81.3 million as of December 31, 1997. The Multi-Property Mortgage consists of two separate debt classes. Class (A) in the amount of $65.0 million bears a fixed interest rate of 8.56% and is interest only until the maturity date of May 31, 2001. Class (B) in the amount of $21.7 million bears a variable interest rate. Class (B) was interest only until July 1, 1997, at which time principal and interest payments were due using a twenty-year amortization schedule. In June 1996, the Company paid the lender $8.6 million as payment in full of the lender's 25% participating interest in cash flow and appreciation in the value of certain properties. The interest rate applicable to the remaining balance of the floating rate debt was reduced from LIBOR plus 5.75% to LIBOR plus 3.75% and effective March 4, 1997, was further reduced to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The lender received additional interest based on 25% of net cash flows as specified in the loan documents, which amounted to $10,000 in 1996 and $347,000 in 1995. A participation interest of $3.2 million payable in connection with the Multi-Property Mortgage was recorded at the loan date. A corresponding amount recorded as a loan discount is being amortized over the life of the loan. Amortization of the discount of $419,000, $626,000 and $457,000 has been included as interest expense in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The other mortgages and notes payable relate primarily to 13 facilities whereby outstanding balances are collateralized by the total assets of the respective facility. The book value of such assets was $109.5 million as of December 31, 1997. Payments of principal and interest are paid monthly. Interest rates range from 6.87% to 9.0% with remaining maturities ranging from less than one to thirty-five years. These other mortgages and notes payable have total available borrowings of $73.2 million as of December 31, 1997. A subsidiary of the Company has received a commitment for a $51.0 million revolving construction credit facility. The credit facility provides for construction and interim loans to finance the development of up to seven assisted living facilities. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had closed $32.1 million of the total commitment. The Company guarantees the repayment of all amounts outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility is for a term of five years and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the real property and liens on receivables. Advances under the credit facility bear variable interest rates based upon LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 2.60%. There were $4.7 million of advances outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 1997, which were included in other mortgages and notes. The Company has received a commitment for a $15.7 million revolving construction credit facility. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had closed on the total commitment amount. The credit facility provides for construction and interim loans to finance the development of up to two assisted living facilities. The Company guarantees the repayment of all amounts outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility is for a term of three years and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the real property and improvements and first liens on all other assets of the subsidiary. Advances under the credit facility bear variable interest rates based upon LIBOR plus 1.25% to LIBOR plus 1.75%. There were no advances outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 1997. A subsidiary of the Company has obtained a syndicated revolving credit facility for $250.0 million to be used for general corporate purposes, including the continued construction and development of assisted living facilities. The Company guarantees the repayment of all amounts outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility is for a term of three years with the right to extend, and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the real property and improvements and first liens on all assets of the subsidiary. Advances under the facility bear interest at rates from LIBOR plus 1.0% to LIBOR plus 1.5%. There were $51.0 million of advances outstanding under this credit facility as of December 31, 1997. The Company has entered into a swap transaction whereby, effective during the period June 18, 1998, through June 18, 2001, outstanding advances of up to $19.0 million under LIBOR floating rate debt bear interest at a fixed rate based on a fixed LIBOR base rate of 7.30%. The Company has entered into another swap transaction whereby, effective during the period August 20, 1997, through April 1, 2003, outstanding advances of up to $7.0 million under LIBOR floating rate debt bear interest at a fixed LIBOR base rate of 7.14%. Financials 32 17 The Company's financing documents contain financial covenants and other restrictions that (i) require the Company to meet certain financial tests and maintain certain escrows of funds, (ii) require that one of the Company's founders, Paul Klaassen and Teresa Klaassen (the "Founders"), serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (iii) require consent for changes in management or control of the Company, (iv) limit, among other things , the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets and engage in mergers or other business combinations, and (v) prohibit the Company from operating competing facilities within certain distances from mortgaged facilities.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK On January 4, 1995, the Company issued 6,019,375 shares of Common Stock to the majority stockholders in exchange for all of the equity interests in predecessor entities (the "Sunrise Entities"). The equity interests were recorded at the historical cost of the majority stockholders (i.e., a reorganization of entities under common control). Simultaneously, the Company issued 2,444,444 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at $9.00 per share net of issuance costs of $1.8 million. The Series A Preferred Stock had a 9% preferred return, compounded annually, payable, together with the stated value of $9.00 per share, upon redemption. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company and had the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock was Convertible. Each Series A Preferred stockholder was obligated to purchase, upon call by the Company, its pro rata portion of 1,000,000 shares of Series B Exchangeable Preferred Stock for $10 per share, or $10,000,000. The Series B Exchangeable Preferred Stock was nonvoting and had a 9% cumulative dividend payable quarterly and no conversion rights. On January 19, 1996, the Company exercised the call. Concurrent with the January 4, 1995, transaction, the Company assumed notes payable of $2.1 million and the Sunrise Entities distributed an aggregate $9.6 million in cash to the majority stockholders, which was recognized as a distribution payable in Sunrise Entities' December 31, 1994, combined financial statements. The Company effected a three-for-one stock split of the Company's Common Stock and increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 to 60,000,000, effective July 11, 1995. Pursuant to the authorization of the Board of Directors and stockholders, the Company effected on March 20, 1996, a one-for-three reverse stock split. All share amounts reflected herein reflect the one-for-three reverse stock split. Authorized shares of Common Stock remain 60,000,000. In May of 1996, the Company issued to one of its lenders warrants to purchase a total of 50,000 shares of common stock. The per share exercise price of the warrants is $17.00. The warrants expire March 19, 2006. On June 5, 1996, the Company successfully completed an initial public offering (the "Initial Offering") of its Common Stock. A total of 5,700,000 shares were sold by the Company in the Initial Offering at a price of $20 per share for gross proceeds of $114.0 million. The net proceeds to the Company from the Initial Offering, after deducting underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $104.3 million. Concurrently, all of the 2,444,444 outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company were converted into an equal number of shares of Common Stock. Preferred return of $2,821,500 through the conversion date was forfeited upon conversion. Additionally, the Company redeemed all 1,000,000 shares of Series B Exchangeable Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $10 per share plus accrued dividends of $165,000. On October 30, 1996, the Company successfully completed a second public offering (the "Second Offering") of its Common Stock. A total of 4,055,241 shares were sold by the Company in the Second Offering at a price of $24 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $97.3 million. The net proceeds to the Company from the Second Offering, after deducting underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $91.8 million. The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value of preferred stock. 8. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS AGREEMENT The Company has stock option plans providing for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and advisors. These plans provide for the grant of options to purchase up to 4,748,065 shares of Common Stock. The option exercise price and vesting provisions of such options are fixed when the option is granted. The options expire ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over a four-year period. The option exercise price is not less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The Company has a stock option agreement with one of its senior executives. The agreement, as amended, is effective as of January 4, 1995, and covers 450,000 shares of Common Stock that have been reserved for issuance at an exercise price of $8.00. At December 31, 1997, 90,000 options were outstanding, all of which are exercisable and will expire in seven years. Financials 33 18 A summary of the Company's stock option activity, and related information for the years ended December 31 are presented below: 1997 1996 1995 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Shares Average Shares Average Shares Average Options (000) Exercise Price (000) Exercise Price (000) Exercise Price - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding--beginning of year 2,557 $ 17.79 952 $ 6.50 -- -- Granted 1,384 27.84 1,911 21.74 958 $ 6.50 Exercised (498) 11.16 (258) 7.64 -- -- Forfeited (287) 23.29 (48) 5.82 (6) 6.30 Expired -- -- -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding--end of year 3,156 $ 22.76 2,557 $17.79 952 $ 6.50 ================================================================================================================================ Options exercisable at year-end 667 527 -- Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $14.65 $13.36 $1.78 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 1997: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Range of Number Average Average Number Average Exercise Outstanding Remaining Exercise Exercisable Exercise Prices (000) Contractual Life Price (000) Price - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 3.00 to 8.00 361 7.6 $ 5.92 183 $ 6.45 10.50 to 20.00 513 8.3 16.36 168 17.54 21.50 to 25.63 1,832 9.1 25.00 298 25.44 29.94 to 36.63 450 9.8 34.48 18 34.66 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3,156 667 ================================================================================================================ On April 25, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the 1996 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan"). Any director who is a member of the Board of Directors but not an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than the persons elected as director representatives of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock) is eligible to receive options under the Directors' Plan. An aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance to participants under the Directors' Plan. The option exercise price will not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The period for exercising an option begins six months after the option is granted and generally ends ten years from the date the option is granted. Options granted under the Directors' Plan vest immediately. All options to be granted under the Directors' Plan will be non-incentive stock options. As of December 31, 1997, 20,000 options have been granted. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings (loss) per share is required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensations and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 1997, 1996 and 1995: risk-free interest rate of 5.8 to 6.5 percent; dividend yield of 0 percent; expected lives of 7 to 10 years; and volatility of 36.8 percent. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows: December 31, (in thousands, except per share data) 1997 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income (Loss): As reported $4,001 $(4,760) $(10,137) Pro forma $4,019 $(9,551) $(10,377) Diluted Net Income (Loss) per share: As reported $ 0.20 $ (0.51) -- Pro forma $ 0.21 $ (0.92) -- The Board of Directors has adopted a Stockholders Rights Agreement ("Rights Agreement") effective April 25, 1996. All shares of Common Stock issued by the Company between the date of adoption of the Rights Agreement and the Distribution Date (as defined below) have rights attached to them. The Rights expire ten years after adoption of the Rights Agreement. Each right, when exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $85.00 (the "Purchase Price"). Until a right is exercised, the holder thereof will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company. The rights initially attach to the Common Stock. The rights will separate from the Common Stock and a distribution of rights certificates will occur (a "Distribution Date") upon the earlier to occur of (i) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Stock Acquisition Date") or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the Board of Directors Financials 34 19 may determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, neither Paul J. Klaassen nor Teresa M. Klaassen (nor their affiliates associates and estates) each of whom, as of the date of adoption of the Rights Agreement, beneficially owned in excess of 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will be deemed an "Acquiring Person," unless they acquire an additional 2% of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of completion of the Company's Initial Offering. In general, if a person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, each holder of a right may exercise the right by purchasing Common Stock having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price. If at any time following the stock acquisition date (i) the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which it is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger which follows an offer described in the preceding paragraph), or (ii) 50% or more of the Company's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a right shall have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price. The Board of Directors of the Company generally may redeem the rights at a price of $.005 per right at any time until ten days after an acquiring person has been identified as such. 9. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings Per Share (Statement 128). Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all applicable periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, as amended by No. 98, options to purchase Common Stock issued at prices below the initial public offering price during the twelve months immediately preceding filing of the registration statement relating to the Initial Offering, have been included in the computation of net income (loss) per share as if they were outstanding through the date of the Initial Offering (using the treasury method assuming repurchase of common stock at the estimated Initial Offering price). Other shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock or convertible subordinated notes have been excluded from the computation because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Subsequent to the Company's Initial Offering, options are included under the treasury stock method to the extent they are dilutive.

ACQUISITIONS On February 5, 1997, the Company acquired a 120-unit assisted and independent living facility in Valencia, California and on August 19, 1997, the Company purchased a 76-unit assisted living facility in Napa, California. The Company had initially leased the Napa facility on April 1, 1997. On December 24, 1997, the Company acquired a 30-unit assisted and independent living facility in Dunwoody, Georgia and on December 31, 1997, the Company purchased a 29-unit assisted living facility located in Weston, Massachusetts. The combined acquisition price for all four facilities totaled $27.1 million. On May 1, 1997, the Company purchased the minority 50% interest held by an unrelated third party in a facility located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The purchase price of approximately $1.0 million was based on a buy-out schedule specified in the operating agreement of the limited liability company that holds title to the property. On October 1, 1997, the Company purchased each of the remaining 49% interests held by an unrelated third party in facilities located in Annapolis and Pikesville, Maryland for a purchase price of $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Each of these facilities is currently 100% owned by the Company. The pro forma unaudited results of operation assuming consummation of each purchase as of January 1, are as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands, except per share data) 1997 1996 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating revenue $97,190 $ 58,931 Net income (loss) $ 4,117 $ (3,587) Diluted net income (loss) per common share $ 0.21 $ (0.41) Financials 35 20 11. COMMITMENTS The Company leases its corporate office, regional offices, and warehouse space under various leases. The corporate lease has a term of five years. It has an option to terminate after twelve months from the most recent expansion commencement, or January 1, 1997. The initial annual lease payments amount to $258,000, and the base rent is subject to annual increases based on the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") from a minimum of 2% to a maximum cap of 3% per year. The warehouse lease has a term of seven years. The initial annual base rent payments amount to $148,000, subject to annual increases of 3%. Various other leases expire during 1998 and 1999. The Company has also entered into operating leases relating to five newly developed facilities. Three facilities commenced operations during 1997 and the remaining two are currently under development. The operating lease terms are generally for fifteen years, with extension options. The Company has also entered into three ground leases related to two facilities in operation and one under construction. Lease terms range from seventy-five to ninety-nine years and are subject to annual increases based on the Consumer Price Index. Future minimum lease payments under office, equipment, ground and other operating leases as of December 31, 1997, are as follows: (in thousands) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1998 $ 4,420 1999 5,731 2000 5,671 2001 5,275 2002 4,926 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- $26,023 =========================================================================== The Company has entered into contracts to purchase and lease additional sites. Total contracted purchase price of these sites amounts to $42.6 million. The Company is pursuing additional development opportunities and also plans to acquire additional facilities as market conditions warrant. 12. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes. Prior to formation of the Company on January 4, 1995, (see Note 7) Sunrise Entities were held in partnerships, limited liability companies, and subchapter S corporations, all of which passed through tax liabilities and benefits to the owners. The transfer of assets at the formation of the Company was taxable, in part to the owners. Accordingly, the tax basis of a majority of the property and equipment of the Company exceeds its respective book basis for financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized are presented below: December 31, (in thousands) 1997 1996 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax assets: Property and equipment $ 8,636 $ 6,409 Operating loss carryforward 7,921 6,452 Deferred revenue 379 1,485 Other 1,988 1,654 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total gross deferred tax assets 18,924 16,000 Less valuation allowance (18,334) (15,236) Deferred tax liabilities (590) (764) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred tax amount $ -- $ -- ============================================================================ At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $19.2 million which expire from 2010 through 2012. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company is in a cumulative pretax loss for the latest three years for financial reporting purposes. Recognition of deferred tax assets will require generation of future taxable income. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate any earnings or any specific level of earnings in future years. Therefore, the Company established a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of approximately $18.3 million as of December 31, 1997. Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: Federal $ -- $ -- $ -- State -- -- -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total current $ -- $ -- $ -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred: Federal $(2,553) $(3,348) $(3,524) State (545) (722) (674) Increase in valuation allowance 3,098 4,070 4,198 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred $ -- $ -- $ -- ============================================================================ The effective tax rate on income before income taxes varies from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows: Year Ended December 31, 1997 1996 1995 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statutory rate 34% (34)% (34)% State taxes 7 (7) (6) Tax exempt interest (7) -- -- Stock options (96) -- -- Other 5 -- -- Valuation allowance 57 41 40 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0% 0% 0% =========================================================================== Financials 36 21 13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS SUNRISE FOUNDATION, INC. The Company's Founders operate a school and a day care center through a not-for-profit organization, Sunrise Foundation, Inc. ("SFI"). SFI reimbursed the Company monthly for use of office facilities and support services in the amounts of $68,000 in 1997 and $60,000 for 1996 and 1995. Such amounts are included in operating revenue. GROUND LEASE The Company has a ninety-nine year ground lease with one of the Company's Founders. The ground lease expires in May 2085. The basic monthly rent is adjusted annually based on the CPI. Rent expense under this lease was $262,000, $262,000 and $255,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company subleases one-half of this ground lease to SFI. The sublease expires in May 2085 and requires payments equal to 50% of all payments made by the Company under the ground lease. Sublease rental income was $131,000, $132,000 and $127,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Lease expense is recorded net of the sublease income. OTHER The Founders lease certain real property located in Fairfax County, Virginia for use as a residence pursuant to a ninety-nine year ground lease with the Company dated June 7, 1994. The rent is $1.00 per month. This property is part of a parcel, which includes a facility owned and operated by the Company. A director of the Company made a capital contribution of $500,000 in exchange for a 30% membership interest in a limited liability company which operates one of the Company's facilities. On May 28, 1996, the Company purchased the 30% interest in exchange for 52,500 shares of Common Stock. Distributions made by the Company to the director in 1996 and 1995 aggregated $41,000 and $40,000, respectively. 14. PROFIT-SHARING PLAN The Company has a profit-sharing plan (the "Plan") under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). All employees of the Company are covered by the Plan. The Plan contains three elements--employee salary contributions, regular matching employer contributions, and special discretionary employer contributions. All full-time employees who have twelve months of employment are eligible to participate in the Plan. Deferred salary contributions are made through pre-tax salary deferrals of between 1% and 16%. The Plan provides that the employer will contribute $0.25 for every dollar the employee contributes, up to 7% of the employee's annual compensation. On April 1, 1997, the Company amended the regular matching contributions to discretionary matching contributions. Matching contributions made by the Company totaled $121,000, $88,000 and $80,000 during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. No discretionary profit-sharing contributions were made during these same periods. 15. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management, using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair values of the investment and notes receivable are discussed in Note 4. Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, marketable securities, investments and other current assets and liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values. Fixed rate debt with an aggregate carrying value of $260.8 million (excluding a $1.4 million loan discount) has an estimated aggregate fair value of $289.7 million at December 31, 1997. Estimated fair value of fixed rate debt is based on interest rates currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the Company's variable rate debt is estimated to be approximately equal to its carrying value of $81.6 million at December 31, 1997. The interest rate swaps related to floating rate debt (see Note 6) has an estimated fair value of $368,000 at December 31, 1997. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 1997. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 1997 and current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein. 16. UNUSUAL CHARGE To avoid a possible change in the Company's ability to continue to manage two facilities resulting from the reduction in the ownership interest in the Company of Paul J. Klaassen, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, and Teresa M. Klaassen, the Company's Executive Vice President and co-founder following the Initial Offering, the Company made a $1,000,000 cash payment to the third-party limited partner in these two facilities in June 1996. The payment was made in exchange for the transfer to the Company by the third-party of additional 1% partnership interests in each facility with a total book value of $18,700 and the elimination of any requirement for the Founders to maintain a specified ownership interest in the Company. 17.
