As of November 12, 1999, eight additional new communities were under varying
stages of development. If all eight communities are developed, total operations
of the Company will increase by approximately 790 beds to a total of
approximately 3,980 beds. The Company continues to pursue its primary strategy
of developing new communities and is therefore engaged in negotiations to
acquire several additional sites and is pursuing joint venture opportunities
with parties who control parcels of land in strategic markets. All costs
associated with the development of these communities have been capitalized as
"Construction in Progress" as disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,
1999, are not necessarily indicative of future financial performance as the
Company intends to continue expanding its operating base of communities.
Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1998
Revenues. For the three month period ended September 30, 1999, revenues totaled
$14.2 million compared to $8.9 million in the three month period ended September
30, 1998, an increase of $5.3 million or 59.5 percent. During the third quarter
of 1999, the Company operated 29 communities comprised of six stabilized
communities, 19 newly developed or acquired communities including one sold
during the quarter pursuant to a sale-manageback arrangement, and four
communities operated pursuant to management contracts, of which two are owned in
joint ventures and accounted for under the equity method. The Company operated
23 communities during the third quarter of 1998, comprised of five stabilized
communities, including one acquired in May 1998 which was managed prior to
conversion to a lease, 15 newly developed or acquired communities, and three
operated pursuant to management contracts, one of which is owned in a joint
venture and accounted for under the equity method. A community is considered
"stabilized" for reporting purposes after it first attains occupancy of 95.0
percent and prior to that time is considered "newly developed."
During the third quarter of 1999, rental and service revenues from "Same
Residences," the 18 communities that the Company operated at the beginning of
both periods, comprised of six stabilized and 12 newly developed or acquired
communities, increased by $3.5 million over the third quarter of 1998. Revenues
from the remaining seven newly developed or acquired
Page 11
<PAGE>
communities in operation during the third quarter of 1999, compared to revenues
from the remaining two newly developed or acquired communities in operation
during the third quarter of 1998, increased by $1.7 million. Occupancy at the 18
Same Residences was 82.8 percent for the three month period ended September 30,
1999, compared to 60.1 percent for the same period in 1998. Occupancy at the
Company's six stabilized communities was 95.6 percent for the three month period
ended September 30, 1999.
Residence Operating Expenses. Residence operating expenses were $10.2 million
for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, and $7.7 million for the
same period in 1998, an increase of $2.5 million or 33.2 percent. Residence
operating expenses from Same Residences during the third quarter of 1999
increased by $1.2 million over the third quarter of 1998. This increase was
primarily attributable to the increased level of operations at one community
that achieved stabilized status in the current quarter and at the 12 newly
developed or acquired communities operated at the beginning of both periods. In
addition, residence operating expenses for the current period include $1.9
million of start-up operating expenses and pre-opening costs related to seven
newly developed or acquired communities, whereas, the prior period included $0.6
million of start-up operating expenses and pre-opening costs related to four
communities. Residence operating expenses from Same Residences totaled 68.2
percent and 81.1 percent of rental and service revenues for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Residence operating
expenses for all stabilized communities totaled 64.6 percent and 63.6 percent of
rental and service revenues for the three month periods ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were
$1.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to
$1.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1998. The increase
of $0.1 million is due primarily to the increase in operations related to the
implementation of the Company's plan for growth.
Lease Expense. Lease expense for the Company's leased communities was $3.4
million for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to $2.7
million for the same period in 1998. The increase of $0.7 million relates
primarily to the opening and sale-leaseback of newly developed communities and
the lease-acquisition of several additional communities.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $0.4
million for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to $0.4
million for the three month period ended September 30, 1998.
Interest Income. Interest income is earned from the Company's investment of cash
and cash equivalents in high quality, short term securities placed with
institutions with high credit ratings.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the three month period ended
September 30, 1999, to $0.8 million from $0.4 million for the three month period
ended September 30, 1998. The Company capitalized $0.3 million and $0.5 million
of interest charges incurred during the three months ended September 30, 1999,
and 1998, respectively. Capitalized interest decreased due to a reduction in
development and construction activity during the current quarter as compared to
the same period a year ago.
Equity in Losses of Joint Ventures. Equity in losses of joint ventures decreased
in the three month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same
period a year ago as a result of improved operating results related to increased
occupancy at the Company's 50 percent owned Kenmore, Washington community and
the Company's 10 percent owned Kent, Washington community (which opened in July
1999).

Net Income (Loss). Net operating results increased by $1.7 million during the
three month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period in
1998. The Company reported a loss of $2.0 million for the third quarter of 1999,
whereas the Company reported a loss of $3.7 million for the third quarter of
1998. The increase in net results is primarily due to an increase in residence
operating profits (rental and service revenue less residence operating expenses)
of $2.7 million offset by increases in general and administrative expenses,
lease expense, and interest expense as discussed above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1998
Revenues. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, revenues totaled
$39.2 million compared to $19.9 million in the nine month period ended September
30, 1998, an increase of $19.3 million or 97.1 percent. During the first nine
months of 1999, the Company operated 29 communities comprised of five stabilized
communities, 20 newly developed or acquired communities including one sold
during the quarter pursuant to a sale-manageback arrangement, and four
communities operated pursuant to management contracts, of which two are owned in
joint ventures and accounted for under the equity method. The Company operated
23 communities during the first nine months of 1998, comprised of five
stabilized communities, including one acquired in May 1998 which was managed
prior to conversion to a lease, 15 newly developed or acquired communities, and
three operated pursuant to management contracts.
During the first nine months of 1999, rental and service revenues from "Same
Residences" (for purposes of the nine month comparison, the six communities the
Company operated at the beginning of both periods - comprised of four stabilized
and two newly developed communities), increased by $2.2 million over the same
period in 1998. Of this increase, $2.0 million was from the two newly developed
communities. Revenues from the remaining 18 newly developed or acquired
communities in operation during the first nine months of 1999, compared to
revenues from the remaining 13 newly developed communities in operation during
the first nine months of 1998, increased by $15.8 million. In addition, revenues
for the comparable periods increased $1.1 million from the one stabilized
community the Company acquired in May 1998, and $0.2 million from the four
communities operating under management agreements. Occupancy at the six Same
Residences was 88.6 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999,
compared to 75.7 percent for the same period in 1998. Occupancy at the Company's
five stabilized communities was 95.1 percent for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999.
Residence Operating Expenses. Residence operating expenses were $28.3 million
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, and $17.5 million for the
same period in 1998, an increase of $10.8 million or 62.1 percent. Residence
operating expenses from Same Residences during the first nine months of 1999
increased by $0.9 million over the first nine months of 1998. This increase was
primarily attributable to the increased level of operations at the two newly
developed communities operated at the beginning of both periods. In addition,
residence operating expenses for the current period include $17.1 million of
start-up operating expenses and pre-opening costs related to 18 newly developed
or acquired communities, whereas, the prior period included $7.9 million of
start-up operating expenses and pre-opening costs related to 15 communities.
Also, operating expenses increased $0.7 million from the stabilized community
acquired in May of 1998. Residence operating expenses from Same Residences
totaled 64.8 percent and 69.0 percent of rental and service revenues for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Residence
operating expenses for all stabilized communities totaled 63.7 percent and 64.1
percent of rental and service revenues for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were
$4.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to
$3.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. The increase of
$0.9 million is due primarily to the increase in operations related to the
implementation of the Company's strategy for growth.
Lease Expense. Lease expense for the Company's leased communities was $10.0
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to $6.1
million for the same period in 1998. The increase of $3.9 million relates
primarily to the opening and sale-leaseback of newly developed communities and
the lease-acquisition of several additional communities.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.1
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to $0.8
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. The increase of $0.3
million relates primarily to the opening of newly developed communities.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999, to $1.9 million from $0.9 million for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998. Interest expense related to the operation of newly
opened communities increased $0.2 million in the current period as compared to
the same period in the prior year. In addition, the Company incurred an
additional $0.2 million of interest in the nine month period ended September 30,
1999, as compared to the same period in 1998 related to convertible subordinated
notes that were issued after the first quarter of 1998. The Company capitalized
$1.2 million and $2.2 million of interest charges incurred during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Capitalized interest
decreased due to a reduction in development and construction activity during the
current nine month period as compared to the same period a year ago.
Other Income (Loss), Net. In the second quarter of 1999, the Company sold a 45
percent co-tenancy interest in its Modesto community. The company recognized a
$0.5 million gain as a result of the sale.
Net Income (Loss). Net operating results increased by $2.9 million during the
nine month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period in 1998.
The Company reported a loss of $5.7 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999, whereas the Company reported a loss of $8.6 million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998. The increase in net results is
primarily due to an increase in residence operating profits (rental and service
revenue less residence operating expenses) of $8.3 million and an increase in
other income of $0.5 million offset by an increase in general and administrative
expenses, an increase in lease expense, an increase in depreciation expense, and
an increase in interest expense as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1999, the Company had $1.7 million of working capital, compared
to working capital of $1.6 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $0.1
million. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.9 million (as described
below) and cash held in working capital escrow increased by $0.1 million. This
increase was offset by an increase in net current liabilities resulting from the
Company's growth in operating capacity.
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $4.1 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999, which resulted primarily from a net loss of
$5.7 million, adjusted $0.4 million for non-cash items (depreciation,
amortization, gain on sale of assets, and equity interest
Page 14
<PAGE>
in joint ventures), offset by the release of $0.8 million of cash held in
working capital escrow and an increase in net current liabilities of $0.4
million.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $11.3 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999, consisting primarily of land acquisition,
development, and construction costs offset by the proceeds of the sale of a 45
percent interest in a community of $0.7 million. At September 30, 1999, the
Company had an option to purchase one parcel of land for $1.4 million. The
Company has paid initial deposits relating to this site.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $16.3 million during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999, primarily consisting of property and
equipment financing proceeds totaling $19.4 million, net proceeds from
lease-financing arrangements totaling $10.6 million, proceeds from a sales
contract with the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of $1.2
million, offset by repayment of long-term debt of $14.6 million, and payment of
preferred stock dividends of $0.4 million.
During June 1999, the Company entered into a $10.1 million arrangement with a
REIT pursuant to which the Company is constructing its Mesa, Arizona community.
The sale of the land has been recorded as a capital lease. Upon completion, the
Company will lease the community pursuant to a long-term lease arrangement. The
Company generated $1.5 million of cash available for general working capital
requirements as a result of the sale.
During July 1999, the Company closed a $3.4 million loan for the construction of
the Corvallis community. The Company has sufficient financing to complete this
community and to fund its anticipated initial operating deficit during 2000.
During September 1999, the Company sold to its Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer its 108-bed Scottsdale, Arizona community under terms of a
sale-manageback agreement. The terms of the agreement contain a guaranteed
return which constitutes continuing involvement under FAS 66 and accordingly the
Company has accounted for the sale under the deposit method. Under this method,
the Company continues to report the asset, depreciation and related debt in the
Company's financial statements and does not recognize profit from the sale. The
Company received $1.2 million in sales proceeds and the purchaser assumed $8.8
million of underlying debt. These amounts are recorded as liabilities captioned
"deposits under sales contract" in the Company's balance sheet. The net book
value of the asset subject to the sales contract totaled $8.9 million at
September 30, 1999. Upon satisfaction of the continuing involvement criteria,
the transaction will be accounted for as a sale.
Also during September 1999, Regent completed a $9.5 million permanent financing
transaction for its Bakersfield, California community. As a result of the
transaction, the Company repaid construction debt in the amount of $7.2 million
and generated approximately $2.0 million of cash available for general working
capital requirements.
Effective November 4, 1999, the Company repurchased 125,400 shares of the
Company's Common Stock in a private transaction for the price of $1.50 per
share.
During the remainder of 1999, the Company intends to utilize current working
capital resources primarily for operating requirements. At September 30, 1999,
the Company had capitalized costs totaling approximately $12.3 million related
to communities under construction or development, encumbered by $4.3 million in
outstanding debt. The Company intends to finance substantially all of the
remaining costs of developing each new community through additional
sale-leaseback transactions with real estate investment trusts ("REIT"), joint
venture
Page 15
<PAGE>
arrangements, as well as conventional financing with commercial banks and other
financial institutions.
The Company anticipates capital expenditures during the remainder of 1999 may
include certain additional land acquisition costs, architectural fees, and other
development costs related to at least eight assisted living communities. The
Company anticipates commencing construction on as many as three communities
during the remainder of 1999. The total cost to develop and construct these
three communities, including the estimated initial operating deficits, will
likely be between $22 million to $24 million. A portion of these costs may be
incurred during 1999.
The Company is currently discussing with commercial banks, REITs, and other
financing sources the terms of potential financing with which the Company will
construct new communities currently under development. Each of the pending
financing transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including the
negotiation and execution of definitive documents and the satisfactory
completion of due diligence on the related properties, and there is no assurance
that any of these financing transactions will be completed on the terms
proposed, or at all. Provided that the Company can obtain financing upon
acceptable terms, the Company estimates that it has the necessary equity capital
invested in five of these eight communities in order to complete construction
and to fund the initial operating deficits. The Company will require additional
equity capital to complete the remaining three communities.
To finance additional growth, the Company may enter into additional arrangements
with one or more unrelated parties regarding the joint development and ownership
of one or more of the Company's communities currently under construction or
development. Furthermore, the Company may utilize various forms of financing
that would permit a community to be sold to or initially developed by a third
party who would incur the initial operating deficits and permit the Company to
manage the community for a customary fee. The Company, under such financing
methods, would likely have the option to either purchase the community or enter
into a long-term lease at such time as the Company deems appropriate. The
Company has not obtained any commitments for this form of financing.
If the Company was unable to obtain additional required financing, or if such
financing is not available on acceptable terms, the Company expects that its
plan to commence construction of up to three additional communities by the end
of 1999 would likely be delayed or curtailed.
Furthermore, if the Company expands its growth plan, development activities do
not result in the construction of a community on a site, the Company experiences
a decline in the operations of its current communities or the Company does not
achieve and sustain anticipated occupancy levels at its new communities, then
the Company may require additional financing to complete its growth plan.
Certain of the Company's operating lease agreements contain restrictive
covenants. As of September 30, 1999, the Company was in compliance with the
covenants for all lease agreements.
The Company does not presently intend to pay dividends to holders of its Common
Stock and intends to retain future earnings to finance the development of
assisted living communities and expand its business.

NASDAQ Matters
On September 28, 1999, the Company's Common Stock was deleted from listing on
the Nasdaq National Market System (Nasdaq NMS) for failure to maintain a minimum
$4 million tangible net worth, one of the requirements for continued listing.
Since that time, trading in the Company's Common Stock has been conducted in the
over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for
securities that do not meet the Nasdaq listing requirements, or in what are
commonly referred to as the "pink sheets." As a result, an investor will likely
find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the
price of, the Company's Common Stock than was the case when the Company's Common
Stock was listed on the Nasdaq NMS. In addition, after September 28, 1999, the
Company's Common Stock will be subject to penny stock rules that impose
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such
securities. Consequently, the delisting of the Company's Common Stock from
Nasdaq NMS could adversely affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers
to sell the Company's Common Stock and the ability of purchasers of the
Company's Common Stock to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Year 2000 Disclosure
"Year 2000 issues" relate to the result of computer programs having been written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer
programs and electronic devices that utilize date sensitive software or
information may recognize a date using the "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. This recognition could result in a system failure or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations or the inability of suppliers of material
services and products to continue supporting the Company's operations.
The Company has assessed its readiness in regard to Year 2000 issues. The
Company believes that all material hardware and software utilized in its
operations and, specifically, in its accounting systems, is Year 2000 compliant.
The Company believes it has adequate alternatives to counteract potential Year
2000 issues that may arise with its internally utilized software and hardware if
the assurances of relevant vendors are incorrect. The Company believes the
primary risks from Year 2000 issues to its operations and prospects are the
potential inability of the Company's commercial banks to permit access to the
Company's accounts and of utility companies to continue supplying utilities to
the Company's communities. The Company's banking relationships are primarily
with national banking institutions who have provided modest assurance that their
systems will continue to work after January 1, 2000. The Company has obtained
assurances from local utility providers that their systems will not fail as a
result of Year 2000 issues but, generally, they will not provide any assurances
regarding the electric grid. Assurances have been provided to the general public
by the federal government that the electric grid system will not fail. The
Company does not have a contingency plan in effect at this time to guard against
such events.
The Company has obtained Year 2000 compliance letters and reports from suppliers
of material mechanical components for its physical facilities as well as
suppliers of material services and products. To date, the Company has not
received an adverse report and believes each such supplier will be able to
continue supplying material products and services to the Company after January
1, 2000, although most all such suppliers are not willing to provide absolute
assurance of their ability to do so. The Company does not expect that Year 2000
issues will have a material adverse effect upon the Company's operations or
prospects.

Forward-Looking Statements
The information set forth in this report in the sections entitled "Overview" and
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" regarding the Company's acquisition of sites
for development, the Company's development, construction, financing and opening
of new assisted living communities, and the Company's plans to develop,
construct and operate new Regent Court communities constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
is subject to the safe harbor created by that section. The development of
additional assisted living communities will involve a number of risks including,
without limitation, the risk that the Company will be unable to locate suitable
sites, risks relating to the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining,
necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy and other required governmental
permits and authorizations, risks that financing may not be available on
satisfactory terms, environmental risks, risks that construction costs may
exceed original estimates, risks that construction and lease-up may not be
completed on schedule, and risks relating to the competitive environment for
development. The foregoing risks could cause the Company to significantly delay
or curtail its planned growth and could cause one or more of the Company's new
communities to not be profitable. Additional factors that could cause results to
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements
include, without limitation, the ability of the Company to raise additional
financing upon terms acceptable to the Company, increases in the costs
associated with new construction, competition, and acceptance of the Company's
prototype community in new geographic markets. The Company's growth strategy is
subject to the risk that occupancy rates at newly-developed communities may not
be achieved or sustained at expected levels, in which case, the Company will
experience greater than anticipated operating losses in connection with the
opening of new communities and the Company's need for additional financing to
meet its growth plans will likely increase. Furthermore, the Company's growth
will place increasing pressure on the Company's management controls and require
the Company to locate, train, assimilate, and retain additional community
managers and support staff. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to manage this growth successfully.
