On March 16, 2004, Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2003. The press release is included in Exhibit 99. This discussion, as well as the press release, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The press release and statements made by or on behalf of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. relating hereto may be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements, including without limitation, statements containing the words “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “expects,” “should,” “could,” and words of similar import, are forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be affected by risks and uncertainties, including without limitation (i) our ability to control costs and improve operating margins, (ii) our ability to increase occupancy, (iii) our ability to increase our revenue at a pace which exceeds expense inflation, (iv) our ability to operate our residences in compliance with evolving regulatory requirements, (v) the degree to which our future operating results and financial condition may be affected by a reduction in Medicaid reimbursement rates, (vi) our ability to extend or renegotiate our current debt agreements and (vii) other factors described in our most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of such risks and uncertainties, our actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Except as may be required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
