 Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS
 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and
assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including
those risks, uncertainties and assumptions described or referred to in Item 1A  Risk Factors in
Part I of ALCs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and in Part II,
Item 5  Other Information  Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Factors in this report.
 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated
financial statements and the related notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in
Part I, Item 1 of this report.
 Executive Overview
   
    
    family members are more willing and able to provide care at home;
 
    
    residents have insufficient investment income or are unable to obtain necessary
funds from the sale of their homes or other investments; and
 
    
    independent living facilities with home care services are accepting more traditional
assisted living residents.
   
    
    our private pay rates generally exceed those paid through Medicaid reimbursement
programs by 60% to 70%;
 
    
    we reduce our exposure to reductions in reimbursement rates provided by government
programs; and
 
    
    our private pay residents typically have less severe health needs and require fewer
services than residents funded by Medicaid programs, resulting in:
 
    
    a better fit for our social and wellness model;
 
    
    a safer environment for employees and the other residents in our communities; and
 
    
    lower staffing needs.

business, including the sources and composition of our revenues and operating expenses. In
addition, this section outlines the key performance indicators that we use to monitor and
manage our business and to anticipate future trends.
 
    
    Consolidated Results of Operations:This section provides an analysis of our results of
operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the quarter

    Liquidity and Capital Resources:This section provides a discussion of our liquidity and
capital resources as of September 30, 2010, and our expected future cash needs.
 
    
    Critical Accounting Policies:This section discusses accounting policies which we
consider to be critical to obtain an understanding of our consolidated financial statements
because their application on the part of management requires significant judgment and
reliance on estimations of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
 Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Factors
   
    
    unfavorable economic conditions, such as recessions, high unemployment levels, and
declining housing and financial markets, could adversely affect the senior living
industry in general and cause us to loose revenue;
 
    
    our strategy to reduce our reliance on Medicaid customers could cause overall
occupancy and revenues to decline;
 
    
    events which adversely affect the ability of seniors to afford our monthly resident
fees including sustained economic downturns, difficult housing markets and losses on
investments designated for retirement could cause our occupancy rates, revenues and
results of operations to decline;
 
    
    national, regional and local competition could cause us to lose market share and
revenue;
 
    
    our ability to cultivate new or maintain existing relationships with physicians and
others in the communities in which we operate who provide referrals for new residents
could affect occupancy rates;
 
    
    changes in the numbers of our residents who are private pay residents may
significantly affect our profitability;
 
    
    reductions in Medicaid rates may decrease our revenues;
 
    
    termination of our resident agreements and vacancies in the living spaces we lease
could adversely affect our revenues, earnings and occupancy levels;
 
    
    increases in labor costs, as a result of a shortage of qualified personnel,
regulatory requirements or otherwise, could substantially increase our operating costs;
 
    
    the inability to increase residents fees to cover energy, food and other costs which
could reduce operating margins;
 
    
    markets where overbuilding exists and future overbuilding in other markets where we
operate our residences may adversely affect our operations;
 
    
    personal injury claims, if successfully made against us, could materially and
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations;
 
    
    failure to comply with laws and government regulation could lead to fines, penalties
or operating restrictions;

ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.
 
    
    compliance with new laws or regulations may require us to change our operations and
make unanticipated expenditures which could increase our costs and adversely affect our
earnings and financial condition;
 
    
    audits and investigations under our contracts with federal and state government
agencies could have adverse findings that may negatively impact our business;
 
    
    failure to comply with environmental laws, including laws regarding the management
of infectious medical waste, could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations;
 
    
    failure to comply with laws governing the transmission and privacy of health
information could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results
of operations;
 
    
    efforts to regulate the construction or expansion of healthcare providers could
impair our ability to expand through construction of new residences or additions to
existing residences;
 
    
    we may make acquisitions that could subject us to a number of operating risks; and
 
    
    costs associated with capital improvements could adversely affect our profitability.
  
    
    loan and lease covenants could restrict our operations and any default could result
in the acceleration of indebtedness or cross-defaults, any of which would negatively
impact our liquidity and our ability to grow our business and revenues;
 
    
    if we do not comply with the requirements in leases or debt agreements pertaining to
revenue bonds, we would be subject to lost revenues and financial penalties;
 
    
    restrictions in our indebtedness and long-term leases could adversely affect our
liquidity, our ability to operate our business, and our ability to execute our growth
strategy; and
 
    
    increases in interest rates could significantly increase the costs of our unhedged
debt and lease obligations, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings.
