ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of dollars except per share amounts)

NOTE 1.    NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Alderwoods Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Alderwoods Group" and, together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the
"Company"), is the second-largest operator of funeral homes and cemeteries in North America based on total revenue and number of locations. As of October 7, 2006, the Company operated
578 funeral homes, 70 cemeteries and 63 combination funeral homes and cemeteries throughout North America.

The
Company's funeral operations encompass making funeral 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 insurance products, primarily to fund pre-need funeral services.

NOTE 2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The
interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary companies and operations controlled by the Company through sales and management
agreements. All subsidiaries are wholly owned, except for a few companies with small minority interests. The interim consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the funeral trusts,
cemetery merchandise and service trusts and perpetual care trusts, and several pooled investment funds created for such trusts in which the Company has a variable interest and is the primary
beneficiary.

All
significant inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in the interim consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared using the United States dollar and are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

The
interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in management's opinion are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial results as of October 7, 2006, and for the 16 and 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, and October 8, 2005. Except as indicated below with respect
to the adoption of SFAS 123R, Stock-based payment, the interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies described in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005, 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 GAAP 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 amounts could significantly differ from those estimates.

Stock-based compensation plans

Director Compensation Plan

Pursuant to the Company's Director Compensation Plan (the "Director Compensation Plan"), each director of the Company who is not an employee of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries has the option of receiving his or her annual base retainer and attendance fees in cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof. Further, each participant may elect to have
Common Stock paid in the form of deferred Common Stock ("Deferred Stock"), which will be credited to a booking account in the name of the participant. The Deferred Stock is subject to a deferral
period during which the participant has no right to transfer any rights under his or her Deferred Stock and has no other rights of ownership therein. The Company has reserved 100,000 shares of
Common Stock for issuance as compensation in lieu of cash under the Director Compensation Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 2005, the Company's shareholders approved the adoption of a compensatory employee stock purchase plan to provide for the purchase on the open market of up to a
maximum of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 5% of their regular base salary to purchase shares of Common Stock of
the Company on the open market on a monthly basis. The Company will make a cash contribution to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company as additional compensation to each participant equal to
50% of the employee's contribution for that month. For the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, a total of 26,946 shares were purchased and distributed to employees at an average price
of $19.69 per share and compensation expense of $177,000 was incurred. For the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, a total of 74,042 shares were purchased and distributed to employees
at an average price of $18.39 per share and compensation expense of $454,000 was incurred.

2005-2007 Executive Strategic Incentive Plan

The 2005-2007 Executive Strategic Incentive Plan, approved by the Board of Directors on July 21, 2005, is a performance based compensation plan
designed to motivate and reward the senior management team for achieving shareholder value objectives. The plan provides cash awards to the senior executives based on the Company's Common Stock
reaching the threshold of an average price of $17.00 for the period from December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007. The amount of the cash award increases the more the stock price exceeds
the $17.00 threshold target price. Each participant will be assigned a percentage share of an aggregate cash award incentive pool. Achieving an average stock price of $17.00 results in an aggregate
cash award of $5,600,000. Achieving an average stock price of $18.00 results in an aggregate cash

award
of $8,000,000. The aggregate cash award increases by $1.6 million for every $1.00 in appreciation of the average stock price beyond $18.00. In the event of a change in control of the
Company, the cash awards would be calculated based upon the stock price on the date of the change in control and become payable within 30 days of the change in control.

2005 Equity Incentive Plan

In April of 2005, the Company's shareholders approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan that permits the grant of (i) options to the employees and members of
the Company's Board of Directors, with or without tandem appreciation rights, and (ii) restricted Common Stock units. A total of 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for grant
under the plan. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the Common Stock's fair market value on the date of the grant. Stock options granted to date have a 3-year vesting
period and vest at a rate of 25% on the first, 25% on the second and 50% on the third anniversaries of the date of grant.

The
tandem appreciation rights entitle the employee to exchange the employee's option right for a number of shares equal in value to the appreciated value of the options. The exchange of
the option for the tandem appreciation right requires an immediate exercise of the tandem appreciation right and will cause the immediate termination of the related option right. An exchange of an
option right for a tandem appreciation right may only be made when the relevant option is otherwise exercisable. Although the options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market
value of the underlying Common Stock on the grant date, the number of shares to be issued upon exercise is not determinable as it is dependent upon the exchange of the option for a tandem appreciation
right.

The
restricted Common Stock units granted to date do not vest for the first three years following the date of grant. Thereafter, the restricted Common Stock units vest during years 3 to
10 based upon the share price of the Company's Common Stock. After three years of service, the restricted Common Stock units vest 70% at a $17 share price, and an additional 15% at a $17.50
share price and the final 15% at an $18 share price. Once granted, the restricted Common Stock units are not included in total shares outstanding and are not included in the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding in each period used to calculate basic earnings per share until vested.

2002 Equity Incentive Plan

On January 2, 2002 the Company implemented the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan that permits the grants of stock options to the employees and members of the
Company's Board of Directors. A total of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for grant under the plan. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock's fair
market value at the date of grant. Except in certain cases, stock options have a 3-year vesting period and vest at a rate of 25% on the first, 25% on the second and 50% on the third
anniversaries of the date of grant.

Equity incentive plans and change in accounting policy

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock-based awards under the intrinsic value method, which followed the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Effective January 1, 2006, the

7

Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires measurement of compensation cost for employee
stock-based awards based upon fair value over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. Furthermore, under SFAS 123R, liability based awards are recorded at fair value through
to their settlement date.

Pursuant
to the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company applied the modified-prospective transition method. Under this method, the fair value provisions of SFAS 123R are
applied to new employee share-based payment awards granted or awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after December 31, 2005. Measurement and attribution of compensation cost for unvested
awards at December 31, 2005, granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, are recognized based upon the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation ("SFAS 123"), after adjustment for estimated forfeitures. Accordingly, SFAS 123R no longer permits pro-forma disclosure for income statement periods after
December 31, 2005 and compensation expense will be recognized for all share-based payments earned after December 31, 2005 based on grant-date fair value.

The
fair value of restricted stock units and the fair value of stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the valuation techniques
previously utilized for options in the footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for equity incentive plans of $1,068,000 and $2,664,000 for
the 16 and 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, respectively. This resulted in an adjustment to operating cash flows of $1,068,000 and $2,664,000 in the 16 and 40 weeks ended
October 7, 2006, respectively. The tax benefit associated with compensation expense for the 12 weeks and 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006 is not significant and no option
value has been capitalized.

Executive strategic incentive plan

Prior to the implementation of SFAS 123R, no compensation expense was recorded in the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005 as the stock price at
December 31, 2005 was less than the threshold target price for the Executive Strategic Incentive Plan.

With
the adoption of SFAS 123R, this incentive plan is classified as a liability based award resulting in the measurement of the estimated fair value at each reporting date, until
December 31, 2007 when the actual liability is determined and the award is settled. The Company records an expense equal to the portion of the fair value relative to the vesting term of the
plan. The Company determines the fair value using a Monte Carlo model. This model uses term-to-expiry and stock price assumptions as at the measurement date, together with
expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield assumptions consistent with the valuation of the Company's stock options. The adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in a
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $1,242,000, which reflects the estimated accrued liability as of January 1, 2006 (fair value of $6,624,000, based on a stock price of
$15.87), the adoption date of SFAS 123R. Compensation expense of $1,394,000 and $4,358,000 in the 16 weeks and 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, respectively, reflects the
estimated accrued liability as of October 7, 2006 of $5,600,000 (fair value of $11,200,000, based on a stock price of $19.91).

Pro-forma disclosure

As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, income from continuing operations before income taxes was
reduced by $2,462,000, income from continuing
operations was reduced by $2,245,000, and net income was reduced by $2,245,000. For the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, income from continuing operations before income tax was reduced by
$7,022,000, income from continuing operations was reduced by $6,781,000, and net income was reduced by $8,023,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share were reduced by $0.06 and $0.19 for both the 16
and 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, respectively.

As
the Company adopted the modified prospective-transition method of SFAS 123R, results for the 16 and 40 weeks ended October 8, 2005 have not been restated. If
prior to December 31, 2005, the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense for its stock option plans, based on the fair value of the awards at the grant dates in accordance with
SFAS 123, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would have changed for the 16 and 40 weeks ended October 8, 2005 to the following pro-forma amounts:

As
of October 7, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value for stock options outstanding and exercisable was $42,650,000 and $37,899,000, respectively.

For
the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, cash received from the exercise of stock options was $790,000. As of October 7, 2006, the unrecognized compensation expense
related to stock options totaling $7,753,000 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years.

volatility rates, which are based on a combination of the Company's historical volatility rates, plus the historical volatility rates of other companies in the death care industry, trended into future
years. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair
value of the Company's stock options.

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.

In
certain change of control situations, Alderwoods Group may be required to make an offer to purchase the then-outstanding Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes at a
price equal to 101% of their stated principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable repurchase date and Liquidated Damages, if any.

The
Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes restrict the Company's ability to engage in asset sales. The Credit Agreement and the
indenture governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes prohibit dispositions of assets unless the assets disposed of fulfill the requirements of specified exceptions. The indenture
governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes excepts, among other exceptions, assets with a fair market value less than $5,000,000. One specified exception contained in the Credit
Agreement is dispositions of any of a group of identified "discontinued assets"; another is dispositions of assets not exceeding $35,000,000 book value in the aggregate over the life of the Credit
Agreement, provided that (i) the consideration received is at least equal to fair market value and (ii) not less than 75% of the consideration is paid in cash or cash equivalents. Within
270 days of the receipt of net proceeds from any such asset sale, the Company has the ability to apply such net proceeds at its option (or as otherwise required) to invest in
non-current operating assets (or enter into agreements for such investment which agreements are consummated within 360 days of such receipt of asset sale proceeds). Up to
$10,000,000 of such net proceeds in any fiscal year (but not in excess of $40,000,000 in the aggregate over the term of the Credit Agreement) may be applied to make capital expenditures. To the
extent the Company receives net proceeds in excess of additional specified thresholds and such excess is not applied to invest in non-current operating assets or make capital expenditures
as described in the two immediately preceding sentences, the Company must make mandatory repayments under the Credit Agreement and, after all indebtedness under the Credit Agreement has been repaid,
offer to purchase the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes at a purchase price equal to 100.00% of the stated principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages,
if any.

Covenants
in the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes restrict, and under specified circumstances prohibit, the payment of
dividends by the Company.

NOTE 4.    LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

Funeral Consumers Alliance, Inc. et al v. Alderwoods Group, Inc. et alwas filed in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California in April, 2005. This case has been transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Case No. CV3394. To
date, six separate class action lawsuits, includingFrancis H. Rocha v. Alderwoods Group, Inc. et al, Marcia Berger v. Alderwoods Group, Inc. et al,
Maria Magsarili and Tony Magsarili v. Alderwoods Group, Inc. et al, Caren Speizer v. Alderwoods Group, Inc. et al, and Frank Moroz v. Alderwoods Group, Inc.
et al,have been consolidated into this case ("Funeral Consumer Case"). Two other cases, also transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Texas,Pioneer Valley Casket Co. v. Alderwoods Group, Inc. et al ("Pioneer Valley") and Ralph Fancher et al v. Alderwoods
Group, Inc. et al ("Fancher"), were consolidated into the Funeral Consumer Case for purposes of discovery only. On June 13, 2006, the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted Fancher's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal, with permission to

refile
its case at another time. The only two remaining cases, therefore, are the Funeral Consumer Case and Pioneer Valley.

The
Funeral Consumer Case is a purported class action on behalf of casket consumers throughout the United States.Pioneer Valleyis
a purported class action on behalf of independent casket distributors throughout the United States. Both class suits name as defendants the Company and three other public companies involved in
the funeral or casket industry. The Funeral Consumer Case andPioneer Valleyallege that defendants violated federal and state antitrust laws by
engaging in anticompetitive practices with respect to the sale and pricing of caskets. Both cases seek injunctions, unspecified amounts of monetary damages, and treble damages. Plaintiffs in these
cases have yet to provide any meaningful information regarding their alleged damages. As a result, the Company cannot quantify its ultimate liability, if any, for the payment of damages. The Company
believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in these actions.

In
addition to the funeral and casket antitrust lawsuits, the Company has received a Civil Investigative Demand, dated August 4, 2005, from the Attorney General of Maryland on
behalf of itself and other undisclosed state attorneys general, who have commenced an investigation of alleged anticompetitive practices in the funeral industry. The Company has received similar Civil
Investigative Demands from the Attorneys General of Florida and Connecticut.

Richard Sanchez et al v. Alderwoods Group, Inc. et alwas filed in February 2005 in the Superior Court of the
State of California, for the County of Los Angeles, Central District; Case No.BC328962. Plaintiffs
seek to certify a nationwide class on behalf of all consumers who purchased funeral goods and services from the Company. Plaintiffs allege in essence that the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule
requires the Company to disclose its markups on all items obtained from third-parties in connection with funeral service contracts. Plaintiffs allege further that the Company has failed to make such
disclosures. Plaintiffs seek to recover an unspecified amount of monetary damages, attorney's fees, costs and unspecified "injunctive and declaratory relief." The Company believes that plaintiffs'
claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.

On
July 7, 2005, the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") issued a letter advisory opinion regarding the lawful construction of the term "cash advance item" as used in the
Funeral Rule. The FTC opined with regard to a similar lawsuit in Texas state court: "The Commission believes that the court is incorrect in ruling that all goods or services purchased from a
third-party vendor are cash advance items. This interpretation sweeps far too broadly, potentially bringing within its scope every component good or service that comprises a funeral. This was not and
is not the Commission's intention in the "cash advance" provisions of the Rule. In our opinion, the term "cash advance item" in the Rule applies only to those items that the funeral provider
represents expressly to be "cash advance items" or represents by implication to be procured on behalf of a particular customer and provided to that customer at the same price the funeral provider paid
for them." The FTC sets forth its analysis in the remainder of the letter. The Company has learned that a number of plaintiffs to these actions along with the Funeral Consumers Alliance have filed a
petition against the FTC in the District of Columbia Circuit Court asking the Court to overturn the FTC's July 7, 2005 Advisory Opinion.

A
motion for summary judgment against plaintiffs on behalf of a related defendant was heard on August 14, 2006. After taking the matter under submission, the court ruled in favor
of the defendant in a

14

---



manner
consistent with the Company's historical practice and its interpretation of the Funeral Rule. Plaintiffs have until December 12, 2006 to appeal the judgement. The Court's ruling will
become the law of the case and should dictate whether identical actions against the Company are dismissed.

Reyvis Garcia and Alicia Garcia v. Alderwoods Group, Inc., Osiris Holding of Florida, Inc, a Florida corporation, d/b/a Graceland
Memorial Park South, f/k/a Paradise Memorial Gardens, Inc., was filed in December 2004, in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County,
Florida, Case No.: 04-25646 CA 32. Plaintiffs are the son and sister of the decedent, Eloisa Garcia, who was buried at Graceland Memorial Park South in March 1986, when the
cemetery was owned by Paradise Memorial Gardens, Inc. Initially, the suit sought damages on the individual claims of the Plaintiffs relating to the burial of Eloisa Garcia. Plaintiffs claimed
that due to poor record keeping, spacing issues and maps, and the fact that the family could not afford to purchase a marker for the grave, the burial location of the decedent could not be located. In
July, 2006, Plaintiffs amended their Complaint, seeking to certify a class of all persons buried at this cemetery whose burial sites cannot be located, claiming that this is due to poor record
keeping, maps and surveys at the cemetery. The Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, as well as equitable and injunctive relief. The Company believes that the Plaintiffs' individual
claims are without merit. No class has been certified in this matter and the Company believes that there is no basis for a class action. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in
this action.

The
ultimate outcome of the litigation matters described above cannot be determined at this time. An adverse decision in one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect
on the Company, its financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. However, the Company intends to aggressively defend the lawsuits.

In
addition, The Company is party to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, and believes it has made adequate provision for estimated potential liabilities. The
Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

NOTE 7.    SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company's reportable segments are comprised of the three businesses it operates, each of which offers different products and services: funeral homes,
cemeteries and insurance. There has been no change in the basis of this segmentation, accounting policies of the segments or the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from that disclosed in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC.

The
Company sells primarily to external customers, though any inter-segment sales or transfers occur at market price. The Company evaluates performance based on income from operations of
the respective businesses.

NOTE 9.    PROVISION FOR ASSET IMPAIRMENT

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
("SFAS No. 144"), the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Long-lived assets to be
disposed of are to be recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Accordingly, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment of $588,000 for
the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006.

As
part of the Company's ongoing assessment to ensure that each of the Company's properties fit into the Company's strategy, as at October 7, 2006 the Company had available for
sale two funeral homes and one cemetery property business. These properties remain unsold as of October 7, 2006. The carrying amount of these locations was $818,000 which was less than
estimated aggregate fair market value. The fair market values were determined by specific offers or bids, or estimates based on comparable recent sales transactions. For the 40 weeks ended
October 7, 2006, these properties had revenues and costs of $752,000 and $1,212,000 (October 8, 2005$741,000 and $386,000), respectively.

The
assets of $4,537,000 (December 31, 2005$5,077,000) and liabilities of $3,719,000 (December 31, 2005$3,734,000) of these locations have not
been separately disclosed as to assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale in the balance sheet.

In
addition, for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, the Company disposed of 7 funeral home businesses which had not been reclassified to discontinued operations.
Revenues and costs of these disposed of locations were $312,000 and $414,000 (October 8, 2005$1,404,000 and $1,480,000) for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006,
respectively.

In
addition to those funeral home and cemetery businesses held for sale or disposed of as identified above, the Company closed 9 funeral home locations during the 40 weeks
ended October 7, 2006. The criteria for identifying a location to be closed includes among other items, synergies from transferring the ongoing business to an adjacent location and the
valuation of the real estate assets compared to sale as a business.

The
asset impairment provisions include management estimates. As a result, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

NOTE 10.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Over the previous four fiscal years, the Company engaged in a strategic market rationalization assessment to dispose of cemetery and funeral operating locations
that did not fit into the Company's market or business strategies, as well as under-performing locations and excess cemetery land. The Company will on a smaller scale and over time, continue to assess
the Company's portfolio of funeral and cemetery locations to ensure they continue to fit in the Company's strategy.

As
of January 1, 2005, the Company had 18 funeral, six cemetery and four combination locations which had not been sold within one year of being added to the disposal list.
The Company completed the sale of all these locations during 2005, except for one cemetery which was reclassified back to continuing operations.

NOTE 12.    EFFECT OF HURRICANE KATRINA

The
Company operated 30 funeral homes, four cemeteries and a limousine company in those areas of Louisiana and Mississippi that were affected by the hurricane on August 29,
2005. The Company experienced some damage at all of these locations. Of the 30 funeral homes, seven experienced significant damage, were not in operation at the end of the 2005 fiscal year and
will not reopen. All four cemeteries are in operation. The New Orleans limousine company that had provided services both to the Company's funeral operations and other third-parties experienced
significant damage to its fleet of vehicles and did not resume operations.

The
Company is using its existing operating facilities to provide services to customers normally served by the Company's closed locations.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Alderwoods Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Alderwoods Group" and, together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the
"Company"), is the second largest operator of funeral homes and cemeteries in North America based on total revenue and number of locations. As of October 7, 2006, the Company operated
578 funeral homes, 70 cemeteries and 63 combination funeral homes and cemeteries throughout North America. As of October 8, 2005, the Company operated 613 funeral
homes, 72 cemeteries and 60 combination funeral homes and cemeteries throughout North America.

Alderwoods
Group is a holding company owning, directly or indirectly, the capital stock of approximately 200 subsidiaries through which funeral, cemetery and insurance businesses
are operated.

The
Company provides services and products through three business segments:

Funeral Operations.The Company's funeral operations encompass making funeral 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 funeral operations
generally experience higher volumes in the winter months, primarily due to higher incidence of deaths, as a result of illnesses brought on by cold weather.

Cemetery Operations.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.

Insurance Operations.The Company operates an insurance subsidiary licensed in a total of 34 states and the District
of Columbia. This insurance subsidiary sells a variety of insurance products for the funding of pre-need funeral services.

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 judgments are described under Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Alderwoods
Group's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in
Note 2 included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Aside from the adoption of SFAS 123R as described in Note 2 included in
Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies in the 16 and 40 weeks ended
October 7, 2006.

funeral business. Additional segment
information is provided in Note 7 to the Company's interim consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on

Hurricane Katrina

During the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005, some of the Company's operations were affected by Hurricane Katrina. The Company operated
30 funeral homes, four cemeteries and a limousine company in those areas of Louisiana and Mississippi that were affected by the hurricane on August 29, 2005. The Company experienced some
damage at all of these locations. Of the 30 funeral homes, seven experienced significant damage, were not in operation at the end of the 2005 fiscal year and will not reopen. All four
cemeteries are in operation. The New Orleans limousine company that had provided services both to the Company's funeral operations and other third-parties experienced significant damage to its
fleet of vehicles and did not resume operations.

The
Company is using its existing operating facilities to provide services to customers normally served by the Company's closed locations.

The
Company purchases insurance coverage for property damage, including damage from wind and flood, subject to separate limits, sub-limits and deductible amounts. The
Company, along with its insurance providers, is substantially complete in assessing and estimating the extent of damages and have agreed upon insurance proceeds of $12.7 million. The Company
has recorded in funeral costs and expenses, gains of $1.0 million in the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 and $1.0 million in the 12 weeks ended June 17, 2006
from the write-off of identified partially, and fully damaged or abandonded buildings and contents.

The
Company has initiated or completed much of the damage repairs. During the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, the Company recorded an additional expense
of $0.6 million reflecting a higher deductable under its insurance policy and higher other expenses not reimbursed under the insurance policy.

The
Company has business interruption insurance that allows the recovery of operating costs and lost profits. During the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, the Company
recorded as funeral revenue $1.6 million from settlement of the Hurricane Katrina business interruption insurance claim.

Additional
information regarding Hurricane Katrina is provided in Note 12 to the Company's interim consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of
Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Continuing Operations

Consolidated revenue of $227.4 million for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, increased by $12.6 million, or 5.9%, compared to the
corresponding period in 2005, reflecting increases in all three of the Company's business segments. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 15.4% for the 16 weeks
ended October 7, 2006, compared to 10.7% from the comparative period in 2005.

Funeral
revenue of $139.4 million for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, increased by $6.2 million, or 4.7%, compared to $133.2 million for the
corresponding period in 2005. A decrease in the number of funeral services performed was partially offset by an increase of $257, or 6.2%, in average revenue per funeral service performed. The number
of funeral services performed during the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 decreased by 1.5% from the corresponding period in 2005. The increase in average revenue per funeral service
performed was achieved through adjusting the pricing and mix of merchandise and services offered to customer families designed to both meet customer family needs and to increase average revenues and
included $1.6 million from settlement of the Hurricane Katrina business interruption insurance claim.

Included
in the funeral revenue for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 is $7.0 million from 1,478 funeral services performed in New Orleans, Louisiana
and on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and $1.6 million from settlement of the Hurricane Katrina business interruption insurance claim compared to $7.3 million of funeral revenue from
1,570 funeral services performed for the 16 weeks ended October 8, 2005. The Company's funeral operations in these areas were significantly affected by Hurricane Katrina.

On
a same site basis, funeral revenue was $137.7 million for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to $130.9 million for the corresponding period in
2005. Same site calls decreased by 85 or 0.3% compared to the comparative period in 2005. This was offset by an increase in same site average revenue per funeral service of $225 or 5.5% compared to
the comparative period in 2005.

The
number of cremation services performed as a percentage of total services performed increased to 38.4% for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to 36.7% for the
corresponding period in 2005, consistent with national trends. The number of cremation services performed may impact funeral revenue, as the average revenue per cremation service is typically lower
than the average revenue for a traditional funeral service.

Funeral
gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 18.3% for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to 12.2% for the corresponding period in 2005. The gross
margin in 2006 included a $1.0 million gain related to the insurance settlement for partially destroyed properties and $1.6 million from settlement of the Hurricane Katrina business
interruption claim. Also contributing to the increase over the comparative period are (i) a $2.7 million accrual for an expected insurance deductible and expenses not expected to be
reimbursed under the Company's insurance policy for damages at locations affected by Hurricane Katrina in the comparative period, and (ii) a $1.3 million accrual for litigation claims in
the comparative period.

Pre-need
funeral contracts written for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, were $59.3 million, compared to $59.7 million for the corresponding
period in 2005. The Company is continuing its program to increase pre-need sales. For the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, 26% of the funeral services performed were derived
from the pre-need backlog, a decrease of 1% from the comparative period in 2005. The Company manages the cash impact of its pre-need funeral sales program primarily by
offsetting direct costs, including commissions paid to counselors, with either general agency commissions received from third party and related insurance companies or amounts not required to be
trusted. Pre-need funeral sales are important, because over time, they build the foundation for future funeral revenue and generate positive cash flow when the funeral service
is performed.

Cemetery
revenue of $55.8 million for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, was $3.3 million, or 6.2%, higher than cemetery revenue for the corresponding period
in 2005, primarily due to increased revenue from both at-need sales and recognized pre-need space sales.

---



Cemetery
gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 13.5% for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to 10.1% for the corresponding period in 2005,
primarily due to increased revenue recognized from pre-need space sales offset by lower facility costs of $0.7 million and decreased wage and benefit costs of $1.1 million.

Pre-need
cemetery contracts written for both the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, and the corresponding period in 2005, were $28.9 million.
Pre-need cemetery sales may initially decrease cash flows if the amount of cash initially collected is insufficient to cover the amount
required to be trusted, sales commissions, and other direct costs paid out. However, this initial net cash flow impact is not significant, as the Company sets minimum down payments, maximum terms and
sales commission rates to maximize cash flow. The Company believes that pre-need cemetery sales are important, because over time, they generate positive cash flow and build the foundation
for future cemetery revenue.

Insurance
revenue for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, increased $3.2 million, or 10.9%, compared to the corresponding period in 2005, primarily due to increased
insurance premiums of $2.3 million and increased investment income of $0.9 million. Insurance premium revenue is dependent on the level of pre-need funeral contracts written
over time that are funded by the Company's insurance subsidiary. Insurance production represents the insurance segment's participation in the Company's pre-need funeral contracts and for
the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 was $42.1 million compared to $37.9 million for the corresponding period in 2005. Insurance gross margin as a percentage of revenue
increased to 5.8% for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to 4.6% for the corresponding period in 2005.

General
and administrative expenses for the Company for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, were $24.8 million, or 10.9% of consolidated revenue, compared to
$19.2 million, or 8.9% of consolidated revenue, for the corresponding period in 2005. General and administrative expenses included the following items affecting the comparison of the
16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 to the 16 weeks ended October 8, 2005:

Included
in general and administrative expenses for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 was $1.1 million of stock based compensation expense from stock options and
restricted stock units resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. For the 16 weeks ended October 8, 2005, the Company applied
APB No. 25 and related interpretations to account for stock based compensation and no stock based compensation expense was recognized.

In
accordance with FAS 142, the Company undertook its annual goodwill impairment review during the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006. Goodwill impairment is deemed to
exist, and must then be further assessed, if a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company's reporting units are funeral, cemetery and insurance, which are
consistent with the Company's operating segments. All of the Company's goodwill is recorded in the funeral reporting unit. As a result of the Company's annual goodwill impairment review which included
analysis based on the proposed sale of the Company,

37

there
was no indication of goodwill impairment, as the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount as of October 7, 2006.

From
2003 to 2005 the Company had a long term incentive plan for its executive officers based on Company performance targets for which an expense of $1.4 million was recorded in
general and administrative expenses for the 16 weeks ended October 8, 2005. In July, 2005 the Company adopted the 2005-2007 Executive Strategic Incentive Plan, a stock price
based incentive plan for its
executive officers. This stock price based incentive plan is accounted for under SFAS 123R as a liability based award, resulting in the measurement of the estimated fair value at each reporting
date. On adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2006 of $1.2 million based on a estimated fair value of
$6.6 million as at January 1, 2006. On October 7, 2006, additional compensation expense of $1.5 million was recorded for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006
based on estimated fair value of $11.2 million as at October 7, 2006.

Interest
expense on long-term debt for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, was $8.6 million, reflecting the effect of principal repayments and lower
interest rates compared to interest expense of $9.0 million in the corresponding period in 2005, as detailed in the following table:

Income
tax expense for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 was $0.5 million compared to a recovery of $12.3 million for the corresponding period in 2005. The
Company's financial statement effective tax rate for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 was 37.7%. The effective tax rate will vary from the statutory rate because, (i) stock
option compensation expense recorded as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R is a permanent difference in certain jurisdictions, (ii) costs related to the proposed transaction with SCI
have not been deducted, (iii) the realization of the benefits of the tax assets that had a corresponding valuation allowance established on January 2, 2002 will result in a reduction to
goodwill established on January 2, 2002, (iv) the realization of tax assets that had a corresponding valuation allowance established after January 2, 2002 will result in a
benefit, (v) losses incurred in certain jurisdictions may not offset the tax expense in profitable jurisdictions, and (vi) adjustments to and settlements of tax contingencies
are recorded.

Income
tax expense for the 16 weeks ended October 8, 2005 included the non-cash resolution of an outstanding tax liability, reducing income tax expense by
$12.6 million.

At
December 31, 2001, the Company had accrued $57.1 million of reorganization costs related to costs incurred during its predecessor's reorganization, as well as costs
incurred in connection with the actual emergence from reorganization proceedings and various related activities. As of October 7, 2006, the balance of $0.9 million of reorganization
costs, primarily consisting of an accrual for a legal fee reimbursement, has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Discontinued Operations

In fiscal years 2002 through 2004, the Company engaged in a strategic market rationalization assessment to dispose of cemetery and funeral operating locations
that did not fit into the Company's market or business strategies, as well as under-performing locations and excess cemetery land. The Company will, on a smaller scale and over time, continue to
assess the Company's portfolio of funeral and cemetery locations to ensure they continue to fit in the Company's strategy.

As
of October 8, 2005, the Company had completed the strategic market rationalization program except for one cemetery which was classified back to continuing operations during the
16 and 40 weeks ended October 8, 2005.

Continuing Operations

Consolidated revenue of $581.7 million for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006 increased by $6.2 million, or 1.1%, compared to the
corresponding period in 2005, reflecting an increase in insurance revenue. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 16.1% for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006,
from 15.2% for the corresponding period in 2005.

Funeral
revenue of $368.0 million for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, increased by $0.3 million, or 0.1%, compared to $367.7 million for the
corresponding period in 2005, primarily as a result of a decrease in the number of funeral services performed partially offset by an increase of $197, or 4.8%, in average revenue per funeral service
performed. The number of funeral services performed during the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006 decreased by 4.5% from the corresponding period in 2005. The
increase in average revenue per funeral service performed was achieved through adjusting the pricing and mix of merchandise and services offered to customer families designed to both meet customer
family needs and to increase average revenues.

Included
in the funeral revenue for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006 is $21.1 million from 4,168 funeral services performed in New Orleans, Louisiana
and on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi compared to $21.7 million of funeral revenue from 4,649 funeral services performed for the 40 weeks ended October 8, 2005. The
Company's funeral operations in these areas were significantly affected by Hurricane Katrina.

On
a same site basis, funeral revenue was $365.4 million for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, an increase of $6.8 million or 1.9% compared to the
corresponding period in 2005. Same site calls decreased by 2,081 or 2.4% compared to the comparative period. This was offset by an increase in same site average revenue per funeral service of $181 or
4.4% compared to the comparative period in 2005.

The
number of cremation services performed as a percentage of total services performed increased to 37.8% for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to 36.4% for the
corresponding period in 2005, consistent with national trends. The number of cremation services performed may impact funeral revenue, as the average revenue per cremation service is typically lower
than the average revenue for a traditional funeral service.

Funeral
gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 19.4% for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to 18.0% for the corresponding period in 2005. The
increase in gross margin was primarily due to recording in funeral costs and expenses gains of $1.0 million in the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 and $1.0 million in the
12 weeks ended June 17, 2006 from the insurance negotiations of fully or partially destroyed buildings and contents and $1.6 million from settlement of the Hurricane Katrina
business interruption claim. Offsetting these amounts in the comparative period are (i) a $2.7 million accrual for an expected insurance deductible and expenses not expected to be
reimbursed under the Company's insurance policy for damages at locations affected by Hurricane Katrina, and (ii) a $1.3 million accrual for litigation claims.

Pre-need
funeral contracts written for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, were $144.8 million, compared to $150.0 million for the corresponding
period in 2005. The Company is continuing its program to increase pre-need sales. For the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, 27% of the funeral services performed were derived
from the pre-need backlog, consistent with the comparative period in 2005. The Company manages the cash impact of its pre-need funeral sales program primarily by offsetting
direct costs, including commissions paid to counselors, with either general agency commissions received from third

party
and related insurance companies or amounts not required to be trusted. Pre-need funeral sales are important, because over time, they build the foundation for future funeral revenue
and generate positive cash flow when the funeral service is performed.

Cemetery
revenue of $135.1 million for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, was $0.4 million, or 0.3%, higher than cemetery revenue for the corresponding
period in 2005, primarily due to increased revenue recognized from pre-need space sales.

Cemetery
gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 13.6% for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to 13.1% for the corresponding period in 2005.

Pre-need
cemetery contracts written for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, were $74.0 million, compared to $74.6 million for the corresponding
period in 2005. Pre-need cemetery sales may initially decrease cash flows if the amount of cash initially collected is insufficient to cover the amount required to be trusted, sales
commissions, and other direct costs paid out. However, this initial net cash flow impact is not significant, as the Company sets minimum down payments, maximum terms and sales commission rates to
maximize cash flow. The Company believes that pre-need cemetery sales are important, because over time, they generate positive cash flow and build the foundation for future cemetery
revenue.

Insurance
revenue for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, increased $5.5 million, or 7.6%, compared to the corresponding period in 2005, primarily due to increases
in premiums of $3.8 million and increased investment income of $2.2 million. Insurance premium revenue is dependent on the level of pre-need funeral contracts written over
time that are funded by the Company's insurance subsidiary. Insurance production represents the insurance segment's participation in the Company's pre-need funeral contracts and for the
40 weeks ended October 7, 2006 was $102.6 million compared to $101.9 million for the corresponding period in 2005. Insurance gross margin as a percentage of revenue
increased to 5.0% for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to 4.7% for the corresponding period in 2005.

General
and administrative expenses for the Company for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, were $57.4 million, or 9.9% of consolidated revenue, compared to
$31.5 million, or 5.5% of consolidated

October 8,
2005, the Company applied APB No. 25 and related interpretations to account for stock based compensation and no stock based compensation expense
was recognized.

From
2003 to 2005 the Company had a long term incentive plan for its executive officers based on Company performance targets for which an expense of $2.7 million was recorded in
general and administrative expenses for the 40 weeks ended October 8, 2005. In July, 2005 the Company adopted the 2005-2007 Executive Strategic Incentive Plan, a stock price
based incentive plan for its executive officers. This stock price based incentive plan is accounted for under SFAS 123R as a liability based award, resulting in the measurement of the estimated
fair value at each reporting date. On adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2006 of $1.2 million based
on a estimated fair value of $6.6 million as at January 1, 2006. On October 7, 2006, additional compensation expense of $4.4 million was recorded for the 40 weeks
ended October 7, 2006 based on estimated fair value of $11.2 million as at October 7, 2006.

Interest
expense on long-term debt for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, was $21.5 million, reflecting the effect of principal repayments and lower
interest rates compared to $23.5 million interest expense and tender premium in the corresponding period in 2005, as detailed in the following table:

|                                                                                  |  | 40 weeks ended

Income
tax expense for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006 was $7.8 million compared to $5.8 million for the corresponding period in 2005. The Company's
financial statement effective tax rate for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006 was 53.8%. The effective tax rate will vary from the statutory rate because, (i) stock option
compensation expense recorded as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R is a permanent difference in certain jurisdictions, (ii) costs related to the proposed transaction with SCI have
not been deducted, (iii) the realization of the benefits of the tax assets that had a corresponding valuation allowance established on January 2, 2002 will result in a reduction to
goodwill established on January 2, 2002, (iv) the realization of tax assets that had a corresponding valuation allowance established after January 2, 2002 will result in a
benefit, and (v) losses incurred in certain jurisdictions may not offset the tax expense in profitable jurisdictions.

Income
tax expense for the 40 weeks ended October 8, 2005 included the non-cash resolution of an outstanding tax liability, reducing income tax expense by
$12.1 million.

Discontinued Operations

In fiscal years 2002 through 2004, the Company engaged in a strategic market rationalization assessment to dispose of cemetery and funeral operating locations
that did not fit into the Company's market or business strategies, as well as under-performing locations and excess cemetery land. The Company will, on a smaller scale and over time, continue to
assess the Company's portfolio of funeral and cemetery locations to ensure they continue to fit in the Company's strategy.

As
of October 8, 2005, the Company had completed the strategic market rationalization program except for one cemetery which was classified back to continuing operations during the
16 and 40 weeks ended October 8, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

The Company derives the majority of its cash from at-need funeral and cemetery revenue. Cash flow is also impacted by the funeral and cemetery
pre-need activities. Pre-need funeral and cemetery activities are discussed in detail in Item 1. "Business" in Alderwoods Group's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC.

Net
cash from continuing operating activities was $22.1 million for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to $45.8 million for the corresponding period
in 2005. The decrease is due primarily to an $11.5 million settlement of an outstanding corporate receivable received in the corresponding period in
2005 and $7.3 million in withdrawals of excess funds from funeral and cemetery trusts in the corresponding period in 2005.

Net
cash from continuing operating activities was $62.5 million for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to $116.8 million for the corresponding
period in 2005. The decrease is primarily due to an $11.5 million settlement of an outstanding corporate receivable received in the corresponding period in 2005 and $25.4 million in
withdrawals of excess funds from funeral and cemetery trusts in the corresponding period in 2005.

The
Company's insurance subsidiary is subject to certain state regulations that restrict distributions, loans and advances from the subsidiary to the Company and its other subsidiaries.
Dividends are only distributable after regulatory approval is obtained. The cash inflows from operations of the insurance subsidiary are primarily generated from insurance premiums, all of which are
invested in insurance invested assets.

Net
cash used in continuing investing activities was $28.2 million for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to $29.8 million for the corresponding
period in 2005.

Net
cash used in continuing investing activities was $53.1 million for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to $52.7 million for the corresponding
period in 2005.

Net
cash provided by continuing financing activities was $6.2 million for the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006 reflecting net borrowings during the period, compared to
$21.7 million use of cash for the corresponding period in 2005. The net change of $27.9 million was due primarily to net debt borrowings during the 16 weeks ended
October 7, 2006, and by net debt repayments of $6.2 million compared to the corresponding period in 2005.

Net
cash used in continuing financing activities was $8.2 million for the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to $74.3 million for the corresponding
period in 2005. The decrease of $66.1 million was primarily due to lower repayments of debt during the 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, compared to the corresponding period
in 2005.

In
addition to the operating leases noted in the table above, as of October 7, 2006, the Company leased approximately 1,136 vehicles under a master operating lease
agreement, which has a minimum lease term of 12 months. The Company's practice is to continue these leases on a month-to-month basis after the expiry of the minimum
lease term. Lease payments for these vehicles are projected to be $8.4 million over the next 12 months.

The
Company issues purchase orders for the supply of goods and services for its operations. As of October 7, 2006, there were no significant or unusual purchase orders
outstanding. The Company
entered into agreements with certain suppliers of funeral and cemetery merchandise, and office supplies to obtain volume discounts. However, none of these agreements have committed purchase quantities
or prices.

Other Information

EBITDA from Continuing Operations

The Company's earnings from continuing operations before interest on long-term debt and refinancing costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
provision for goodwill impairment and provision for asset impairment ("EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure, are presented in the table below and reconciled to the Company's income from
continuing operations, before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The Company considers EBITDA to be an important supplemental indicator of operating performance. The Company believes
that EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the operating performance of companies with high yield debt, and the vast majority of
companies with high yield debt present EBITDA when reporting their results. The Company believes EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by
backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting relative interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective
tax rates or net operating losses), and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). It is also one basis, subject to certain modifications, on
which compliance with certain of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement is determined and some payments under certain of the Company's compensation plans are calculated. EBITDA is not a
term that has specific meaning in accordance with GAAP and may be calculated differently by other companies. EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should
not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or otherwise as a measure of a company's
profitability, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or otherwise as a measure of the Company's liquidity.

EBITDA
has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. Some of these
limitations are:

Because
of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its business or reduce its
indebtedness.

Restrictions

The Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes restrict the Company's ability to engage in asset sales. The
Credit Agreement and indenture governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes prohibit dispositions of assets unless the assets disposed of fulfill the requirements of specified
exceptions. The indenture governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes excepts, among other exceptions, assets with a fair market value less than $5,000,000. One specified exception
contained in the Credit Agreement is dispositions of any of a group of identified "discontinued assets;" another is dispositions of assets not exceeding $35,000,000 book value in the aggregate over
the life of the Credit Agreement, provided that (i) the consideration received is at least equal to fair market value and (ii) not less than 75% of the consideration is paid in cash or
cash equivalents. Within 270 days of the receipt of net proceeds from any such asset sale, the Company has the ability to apply such net proceeds at its option (or as otherwise required)
to invest in non-current operating assets (or enter into agreements for such investment which agreements are consummated within 360 days of such receipt of asset sale
proceeds). Up to $10,000,000 of such net proceeds in any fiscal year (but not in excess of $40,000,000 in the aggregate over the term of the Credit Agreement) may be applied to make capital
expenditures. To the extent the Company receives net proceeds in excess of additional specified thresholds and such excess is not applied to invest in non-current operating assets or make
capital expenditures as described in the two immediately preceding sentences, the Company must make mandatory repayments under the Credit Agreement and, after all indebtedness under the Credit
Agreement has been repaid, offer to purchase the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes at a purchase price equal to 100.0% of the stated principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages (as defined in the indenture governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes), if any.

Covenants
in the Credit Agreement and in the indenture governing the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes restrict, and under specified circumstances prohibit, the payment of
dividends by Alderwoods Group. The Company is not expecting to pay any dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

The
Company's insurance subsidiary is subject to certain state regulations that restrict distributions, loans and advances from the subsidiary to the Company and its other subsidiaries.
The cash flow provided by operations of the insurance subsidiary for the 16 and 40 weeks ended October 7, 2006, was approximately $15.7 million and $34.1 million,
respectively, all of which premiums have been used for net purchases of insurance invested assets.

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 on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC. As of October 7, 2006, there were no
material changes in such matters disclosed in the Form 10-K.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. As of the end of the period covered
by this report, an evaluation was carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Company's principal executive
officer (the "CEO"), and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company's principal financial officer (the "CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as
of October 7, 2006. Based on that evaluation, as of the date of the evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the 16 weeks ended October 7, 2006, the Company continued implementing a new pre-need trust accounting software system. The
implementation has involved changes to processes, and accordingly, has required changes to internal controls.

Other
than the changes discussed above, there have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, information regarding the status and
progress of the Company's operating activities, the plans and objectives of the Company's management, assumptions regarding the Company's future performance and plans, the expected closing of the
merger with Service Corporation International, and any financial guidance provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are
made subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated. Risks and uncertainties that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, without limitation, those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and particularly below under "Risk Factors" and under "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

The
information appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is accurate only as of the date hereof, as the Company's business, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects may have changed after that date. Except as required by law, 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. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company and
persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II    OTHER INFORMATION

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 1A.    RISK FACTORS

Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC.

Risks Related to the Proposed Transaction with Service Corporation International

The proposed merger of the Company into a wholly owned subsidiary of Service Corporation International is subject to certain closing conditions that, if not satisfied or
waived, will result in the transaction not being completed, which may cause the price of the Company's common stock to decline.

The
proposed merger of the Company into a wholly owned subsidiary of Service Corporation International is subject to customary conditions to closing, including the receipt of required
regulatory approvals. Many of the conditions to the closing of the transaction are outside of the control of the Company. If any condition to the closing of the transaction is not satisfied or, if
permissible, waived, the transaction will not be completed.

If
the Company does not complete the transaction, the price of its common stock may fluctuate to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the
transaction will be completed with each share of the Company's common stock being converted into the right to receive $20 in cash. The Company will also be obligated to pay certain professional fees
and related expenses in connection with the transaction, whether or not the transaction is completed. In addition, the Company has expended, and will continue to expend, significant management
resources in an effort to complete the transaction. If the transaction is not completed, the Company will have incurred significant costs, including the diversion of management resources, for which it
will have received little or no benefit. Further, upon termination of the merger agreement under certain specified circumstances the Company or Service Corporation International may be required to pay
a termination fee of $25 million to the other party.

Whether or not the transaction with Service Corporation International is completed, the announcement and pendency of the transaction could cause disruptions in the Company's
business, which could have an adverse effect on its business and financial results.

Whether
or not the transaction with Service Corporation International is completed, the announcement and pendency of the transaction could cause disruptions in the Company's business.
