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 March 25, 2006, the Company operated
584 funeral homes, 73 cemeteries and 60 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 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 March 25, 2006, and for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, and March 26, 2005. 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

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 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.

Equity incentive plans and change in accounting policy

Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company applied the modified-prospective transition method. Under this method, the fair value provision of
SFAS 123R is 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, 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 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
$888,000 for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006. Had SFAS 123R been effective for the comparative period, stock-based compensation expense for equity incentive plans of $754,000
would have been recorded for the 12 weeks ended March 26, 2005.

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. 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. 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. The Company records an expense equal to the portion of the fair value relative to the 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. The estimated accrued
liability as of March 25, 2006 of $2,695,000 (fair value of $9,584,000, based on a stock price of $16.84) reflects the additional compensation expense of $1,453,000 in the 12 weeks ended
March 25, 2006.

Pro-forma disclosure

The application of SFAS 123R to stock options, restricted stock units and the Executive Strategic Incentive Plan has the following pro forma effect
on the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006 and the 12 weeks

Employee stock purchase plan

In April of 2005, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of a compensatory employee stock purchase plan to provide for the purchase on the open
market, 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 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, a total of 28,034 shares were purchased and distributed to employees
at an average price of $16.64 per share and compensation expense of $155,000 was incurred.

The
Credit Agreement and the Eight-Year Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of Alderwoods Group's wholly-owned
U.S. subsidiaries, other than Alderwoods Group's insurance subsidiaries and other specified excluded subsidiaries. Alderwoods Group, the parent company, has no independent assets or operations,
and the guarantees of its guarantor subsidiaries are full and unconditional, and joint and several.

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

11

---



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,andFrank
Moroz v. Alderwoods Group, Inc. et al("Funeral Consumer Cases"), have been consolidated into this 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") andRalph Fancher et al v. Alderwoods
Group, Inc. et al("Fancher"), have been consolidated into this case for purposes of discovery only.

All
of these cases, includingPioneer ValleyandFancher, are purported class actions on
behalf of casket consumers throughout the United States. The suits name as defendants the Company and four other public companies involved in the funeral or casket industry. Except for Fancher,
which alleges violations of State of Tennessee antitrust laws only, all of the Funeral Consumer Cases andPioneer
Valleyallege that defendants violated federal and state antitrust laws by engaging in anticompetitive practices with respect to the sale and pricing of caskets. All of the
cases, includingFancher, seek injunctions, unspecified amounts of monetary damages, and treble damages. Motions to Dismiss filed by the Company and all
other defendants are pending in the Funeral Consumer Cases andPioneer Valley and Fancher. Plaintiffs in all 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.

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

12

---



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.

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.

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 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.

Previously,
the Company designated certain parcels of surplus real estate as held for sale, as they do not meet the Company's future geographic and strategic objectives. During the
12 weeks ended March 26, 2005, the Company determined that the fair market value, less estimated costs to sell exceeded the carrying amounts of certain parcels of the surplus real
estate. Accordingly, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment recovery of $1,219,000 for the 12 weeks ended March 26, 2005.

As
of March 25, 2006, in conjunction with the Company's ongoing assessment to ensure that each of the Company's properties fits into the Company's strategy, the Company held
four funeral homes for sale. The net carrying amount of these locations was $727,000, 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 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, these properties had funeral home revenues and costs of $230,000 and $162,000 (March 26,
2005$303,000 and $228,000), respectively.

The
assets of $3,467,000 (December 31, 2005$3,121,000) and liabilities of $2,740,000 (December 31, 2005$1,858,000) of these locations are
classified according to their nature in the consolidated balance sheets and, on the basis of materiality, have not been identified separately as to assets held for sale and liabilities associated with
assets held for sale in the balance sheet.

In
addition, for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, the total revenues and costs of disposed funeral home locations which were not reclassified to discontinued operations
were $211,000 and $286,000 (March 26, 2005$467,000 and $386,000), respectively.

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

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 has 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 are not expected to 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 will not be resuming operations.

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

Financial results

The Company's financial results include the results from operations for those locations affected by Hurricane Katrina as outlined in the following table:

Insurance coverage and long-term asset gain or loss

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 continuing to assess and estimate the extent of damages. Based on a review of the Company's insurance policy, the Company
expects to recover a substantial portion of the costs associated with the storm damage through insurance, including the capital costs of rebuilding. For those properties not in operation and requiring
significant repair or rebuilding, insurance proceeds have not yet been fully estimated and as a result, an estimated aggregate loss or gain for these properties cannot be determined.

26

---



The
aggregate net book value of buildings and contents for those locations not in operation is approximately $4.2 million at March 25, 2006.

The
Company has initiated or completed much of the damage repairs and along with its insurance companies, is continuing to estimate the full extent of repairs and replacement costs. The
Company may record additional expense for changes to its expected deductible under its insurance policies and other expenses not expected to be reimbursed under the insurance policy. During the
12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, the Company increased its expected costs by $100,000.

The
Company has business interruption insurance that allows the recovery of operating costs and lost profits. The Company is preparing its analysis in support of a claim. Potential
proceeds from this claim cannot currently be reasonably estimated and therefore no receivable or recovery has been recorded as of March 25, 2006.

NOTE 13.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On
April 3, 2006, Service Corporation International and the Company announced that they have entered into a merger agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, each share of the Company
will be converted into the right to receive $20.00 per share of cash. In addition, Service Corporation International will assume approximately $364 million of the Company's debt.

Completion
of the proposed transaction is contingent on approval by the stockholders of the Company and regulatory review, including Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976
and the Competition Act (Canada), and subject to notification under the Investment Canada Act. The proposed transaction is expected to close by the end of 2006.

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 March 25, 2006, the Company operated
584 funeral homes, 73 cemeteries and 60 combination funeral homes and cemeteries throughout North America. As of March 26, 2005, the Company operated 645 funeral
homes, 76 cemeteries and 63 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.

Hurricane Katrina

During the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005, some of the Company's operations were affected by Hurricane Katrina. The Company operates 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 has 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 are not expected to reopen. All four cemeteries

Continuing Operations

Consolidated revenue of $181.8 million for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, decreased by $2.1 million, or 1.1%, compared to the
corresponding period in 2005, reflecting decreases in the funeral

and
cemetery segments partially offset by an increase in insurance revenue. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 17.3% for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006,
from 19.7% for the corresponding period in 2005.

Funeral
revenue of $121.1 million for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, decreased by $2.9 million, compared to $124.0 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 $177, or 4.3%, in average revenue per funeral service performed. The
number of funeral services performed during the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006 decreased by 6.3% 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 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006 is $6.9 million from 1,463 funeral services performed in New Orleans, Louisiana
and on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi compared to $7.7 million of funeral revenue from 1,670 funeral services performed for the 12 weeks ended March 26, 2005. The Company's
funeral operations in these areas were significantly affected by Hurricane Katrina.

On
a same site basis, funeral revenue was $120.6 million for both the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, and for the corresponding period in 2005. Same site calls
decreased by 1,149 or 3.9% compared to the comparative period. This was offset by an increase in same site average revenue per funeral service of $169 or 4.1% compared to the comparative period. If
the locations affected by Hurricane Katrina were removed, the number of funeral services performed on a same site basis would have declined 4.4% from the corresponding period in 2005.

The
number of cremation services performed as a percentage of total services performed increased to 36.7% for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, compared to 35.6% 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 decreased to 21.3% for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, compared to 24.1% for the corresponding period in 2005. The
decrease in gross margin was primarily due to reduced revenue as a result of a lower number of services performed.

Pre-need
funeral contracts written for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, were $40.8 million, compared to $43.2 million for the corresponding
period in 2005, and $41.0 million in the fourth quarter 2005. The Company is continuing its program to increase pre-need sales. For the 12 weeks ended March 25, 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 $37.8 million for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, was $0.5 million, or 1.2%, lower than cemetery revenue for the corresponding period
in 2005, primarily due to lower revenue recognized from pre-need space sales.

Cemetery
gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 12.4% for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, compared to 13.4% for the corresponding period in 2005, primarily
due to higher facilities expenses of $0.5 million.

Pre-need
cemetery contracts written for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, were $21.1 million, compared to $20.9 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 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, increased $1.3 million, or 6.0%, compared to the corresponding period in 2005, primarily due to increases in
premiums of $1.2 million offset by $0.4 million of capital gains in 2005 not repeated in 2006. 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 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006 was $29.6 million compared to $30.8 million for the corresponding period in 2005. Insurance gross
margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.1% for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, compared to 5.9% for the corresponding period in 2005. The 12 weeks ended
March 25, 2006 showed improvement from business growth offset by approximately $0.3 million of expenses from the impact of Hurricane Katrina on outstanding policies.

General
and administrative expenses for the Company for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, were $14.5 million, or 8.0% of consolidated revenue, compared to
$10.6 million, or 5.8% of consolidated revenue, for the corresponding period in 2005. General and administrative expenses included the following items affecting the comparison of the 12 weeks
ended March 25, 2006 to the 12 weeks ended March 26, 2005:

|                                                                                                           |  | 12 Weeks Ended |

Included
in general and administrative expenses for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006 was $0.9 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 12 weeks ended March 26, 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 $0.8 million was recorded in
general and administrative expenses for the 12 weeks ended March 26, 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 March 25, 2006, additional compensation expense of $1.5 million was recorded
for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006 based on estimated fair value of $9.6 million as at March 25, 2006.

Interest
expense on long-term debt for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, was $6.5 million, reflecting the effect of principal repayments and lower
interest rates compared to interest expense and tender premium in the corresponding period in 2005, as detailed in the following table:

Income
tax expense for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006 was $4.8 million compared to $11.2 million for the corresponding period in 2005. The Company's
financial statement effective tax rate for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006 was 45.6%. 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 may not
be deductible, (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.

At
December 31, 2001, the Company had accrued $57.1 million of reorganization costs related to costs incurred during it's predecessor's reorganization, as well as costs
incurred in connection with the actual emergence from reorganization proceedings and various related activities. As of March 25, 2006, the balance of $1.1 million of reorganization
costs, primarily consisting of an accrual for a legal fee reimbursement, has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During
the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, the Company sold five funeral locations for gross proceeds of $0.9 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 June 18, 2005, the Company had completed the strategic market rationalization program except for one cemetery which was classified back to continuing operations during the
12 weeks ended June 18, 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 $20.5 million for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, compared to $42.2 million for the corresponding period
in 2005. The decrease is due primarily to $15.0 million in withdrawals of excess funds from funeral and cemetery trusts in 2005 and $16.1 million

related
to collateral for liability lines of insurance coverage replaced with letters of credit recorded in the comparative period.

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 $10.1 million for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, compared to $4.4 million for the corresponding
period in 2005, primarily due to the decrease of $8.5 million in proceeds on disposition of business assets.

Net
cash used in continuing financing activities was $9.7 million for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, compared to $31.7 million for the corresponding
period in 2005. The decrease of $21.9 million was due primarily to the lower net repayment of debt during the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, compared to the corresponding period
in 2005.

As
of March 25, 2006, the Company's cash balance was $8.1 million and the amount available under the Credit Agreement's $75.0 million revolving credit facility
(the "Revolving Credit Facility") was $75.0 million, less $18.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. The Company's debt repayment obligation over the next 12 months is
$2.4 million and aggregates $162.2 million over the next five years. The Company believes that the Revolving Credit Facility, together with existing cash and cash flow from operations
will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated capital expenditures, working capital requirements and debt repayment obligations in both the near and intermediate terms.

In
addition to the operating leases noted in the table above, as of March 25, 2006, the Company leased approximately 1,190 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 $7.3 million over the next 12 months.

The
Company issues purchase orders for the supply of goods and services for its operations. As of March 25, 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 12 weeks ended March 25, 2006, was approximately $7.4 million, 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 March 25, 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 and 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 March 25, 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 twelve weeks ended March 25, 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 agreement 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
approval of the Company's stockholders and 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.
