NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Alderwoods Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Alderwoods Group"),
together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") is the
second-largest operator of funeral homes and cemeteries in North America. As at
June 15, 2002, the Company operated 794 funeral homes and 190 cemeteries and
64 combination funeral homes and cemeteries throughout North America and
39 funeral homes in the United Kingdom.

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

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is the successor to The Loewen
Group Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Loewen Group International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Loewen International") that was renamed Alderwoods
Group, Inc. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared
using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency and are presented in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all
subsidiary companies and all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which in management's opinion are necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial results for the interim period. The interim consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the
accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report as at December 31,
2001, on Form 10-K 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses for the reporting period. As a result, actual
amounts could significantly differ from those estimates.

CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

On March 6, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in
the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to the Saturday nearest to
December 31 in each year (whether before or after such date). This change is
effective for fiscal year 2002, which will end on December 28, 2002. No
transition report for the change in fiscal year was required.

In connection with the change in fiscal year end, the Company also realigned
its fiscal quarters. The first and second fiscal quarters will each consist of
12 weeks and the third fiscal quarter will consist of 16 weeks. The fourth
fiscal quarter will typically consist of 12 weeks, but this period may be
altered, if necessary, in order to cause the fourth fiscal quarter to end on the
same day as the fiscal year, as described above. As a result of this, the fourth
fiscal quarter will consist of 13 weeks in certain years.

NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following:

(a) On January 2, 2002, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility
(the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility has a maximum availability
of the lesser of $75,000,000 (including $35,000,000 in the form of
letters of credit) or an amount (determined pursuant to a borrowing base
calculation) equal to the sum of (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable
plus (b) the lesser of (i) 50% of the value of eligible inventory and
(ii) $15,000,000 plus (c) the lesser of (i) 25% of the book value of real
property on which the collateral agent

(TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)

NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
for the lenders has a first priority mortgage and (ii) $40,000,000. The
Credit Facility may be used primarily to fund the Company's working
capital needs and initially bears interest at a rate per annum equal to
the J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. prime rate, plus 1% or, at the Company's
option, LIBOR plus 2.5%. A fee of 2.5% is charged on letters of credit
and a commitment fee of 0.50% is charged on the unused portion of the
Credit Facility. Material covenants include a requirement to maintain a
minimum tangible net worth, required earnings before interest, taxes, and
depreciation and amortization to fixed charge coverage ratios and a
yearly maximum on capital expenditures. The Credit Facility expires on
January 2, 2003, and is secured by specified real property and
substantially all personal property of the Company and specified
subsidiaries. As of June 15, 2002, the Company's borrowing base was
approximately $62,000,000, less $18,500,000 in outstanding letters
of credit.

(b) Subsidiary credit agreement provides for (1) a senior secured
amortization extended term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount
of $75,000,000, and (2) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an
aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000. The subsidiary is required to
maintain certain defined financial ratios. As of June 15, 2002, the
Company was accruing interest at 4.94% on its outstanding borrowings
under the term loan facility. The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.50%
on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

(c) On January 2, 2002, the Company issued 11.00% Senior secured notes, due
in 2007. Interest is payable semi-annually. The first interest payment
was made on June 17, 2002. The notes are secured by all personal property
(subject to certain restrictions) of the Company and specified
subsidiaries, and specified funeral home real property assets of the
Company, subordinated to the security interests securing the Credit
Facility. The notes are redeemable at any time at the option of the
Company at 100% of the stated principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to (but not including) the redemption date. Furthermore, the
notes are subject to mandatory redemption in the principal amount of
$10,000,000, $20,000,000, $30,000,000 and $40,000,000, if such amounts
are outstanding on January 2, 2003, January 2, 2004, January 3, 2005 and
January 2, 2006, respectively. (See Note 10).

(d) The indenture for the subsidiary 9.5% Senior subordinated notes, due
November 15, 2004, limits the subsidiary's payment of dividends and
repurchase of its common stock, and includes certain other restrictions
and limitations on its indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually.
The security for the notes is subordinate to the prior claims of the bank
credit agreement. The carrying amount is net of an unamortized discount
of $2,800,000 (December 31, 2001 -- $3,200,000).

(e) On January 2, 2002, the Company issued 12.25% Senior unsecured notes,
due in 2004. On April 26, 2002, the notes were redeemed for a total
redemption price of $49,599,000, plus accrued interest to (but not
including) April 26, 2002.

(f) On January 2, 2002, the Company issued 12.25% Senior unsecured notes,
due in 2009. Interest is payable semi-annually. The first interest
payment was made on March 15, 2002. The notes are redeemable on and after
January 2, 2005, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at a
price equal to 106.25% of the stated principal amount if redeemed from
January 2, 2005 to January 1, 2006, at a price equal to 103.125% of the
stated principal amount if redeemed from January 2, 2006 to January 1,
2007 and at a price equal to 100% of the stated principal amount if
redeemed on or after January 2, 2007, plus accrued and unpaid interest to
(but not including) the applicable redemption date.

(g) On January 2, 2002, the Company issued 12.25% Convertible subordinated
notes, due in 2012. Interest is payable semi-annually. The first interest
payment was made on March 15, 2002. The notes are convertible at the
holders' option at any time into the Company's Common stock at an initial
conversion rate of $17.17 per share, adjusted for subsequent dividends,
stock splits and issuance of rights, options and warrants. The

8

NOTE 3. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
carrying amount includes unamortized premium of $8,585,000 (December 31,
2001 -- $9,001,000). The notes are redeemable at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, at 100% of the stated principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the applicable
redemption date, provided however, that prior to January 2, 2004, the
Company may not optionally redeem the notes unless the then-market price
of the Common Stock is at least 15% greater than the then-applicable
conversion price.

The Credit Facility, 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007, 12.25% Senior
unsecured notes due in 2009 and 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in
2012, are guaranteed by substantially all of Alderwoods Group's wholly-owned
U.S. subsidiaries, other than Rose Hills Holding Corp. ("Rose Hills") and its
subsidiaries, 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. There are no cross-guarantees of debt
between the Company and Rose Hills or its subsidiaries.

In certain change of control situations, the Company is required to make an
offer to purchase the then-outstanding 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007 and
12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012, at a price equal to 100% of
their stated principal amount, and the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in
2009, at a price equal to 101% of their stated principal amount, plus in each
case, accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable repurchase date.

The indentures governing the 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007, 12.25%
Senior unsecured notes due in 2009 and 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due
in 2012 prohibit the Company from consummating certain asset sales unless:
(a) consideration at least equal to fair market value is received; and
(b) except with respect to specified assets, not less than 75% of the
consideration for the asset sale is cash and cash equivalents. Within 270 days
of the receipt of net proceeds from any such asset sale, the Company is
obligated to apply such net proceeds at its option (or as otherwise required) as
follows: (a) to pay the Credit Facility and permanently reduce commitments with
respect thereto, or (b) to make capital expenditures or acquisitions of other
assets in the same line of business as the Company or specified subsidiaries or
businesses related thereto. To the extent the Company receives net proceeds from
any such asset sale not applied in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence in excess of certain thresholds, the Company must offer to purchase
11% Senior secured notes due in 2007, 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2009
or 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012 (in that order) with such
excess proceeds.

Material covenants under the long-term debt documents include restrictions
placed on the Company and specified subsidiaries to incur additional
indebtedness, pay dividends, repay subordinate or junior indebtedness, or
encumber property or assets.

NOTE 4. CONTINGENCIES

(a) LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

PROPOSED CIVIL RIGHTS CLASS ACTIONS

Since July 2000, ten lawsuits have been filed against Security Industrial
Insurance Company, subsequently renamed Security Plan Life Insurance Company
("Security Industrial"), a subsidiary of the

9

ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

(TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)

NOTE 4. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Company, and various other unrelated insurance companies asserting similar
claims and seeking class action certification.

Except as described in this paragraph, the complaints in each of the
lawsuits are almost identical. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants sold life
insurance products to plaintiffs and other African Americans without disclosing
that premiums paid would likely exceed the face value of the policies, and that
plaintiffs paid higher premiums than Caucasian policyholders and received
proportionately lower death benefits. The plaintiffs sought, among other things,
injunctive relief, equitable relief, restitution, disgorgement, increased death
benefits, premium refunds (in one case, with interest), costs and attorney fees.
In several of the cases, Security Industrial filed a motion to dismiss all
claims for failure to state a cause of action and/or for summary judgment.

In December 2000, nine of the cases were transferred to the Judicial Panel
on Multidistrict Litigation (the "MDL Panel") in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana for consolidation for administrative
purposes, where they were assigned to Judge Martin L.C. Feldman as IN RE
INDUSTRIAL LIFE INSURANCE LITIGATION, MDL No. 1382. The tenth case was pending
in state court in Ascension Parish, Louisiana (the "Louisiana State Court").

On January 9, 2002, the Louisiana State Court gave final approval to a
class-action settlement with respect to the claims in the ten lawsuits. The
Louisiana State Court's final approval determined such settlement to be fair,
reasonable and adequate for the class, which was certified by such court for
settlement purposes only. The settlement provides agreed-upon amounts of
compensation to class members in exchange for a release of all pending and
future claims they may have against the Company and certain of its affiliates.

The Company has recorded a provision for the agreed-upon amounts of
compensation and related costs with respect to these lawsuits within the
Company's interim consolidated financial statements. Although the Company
believes such provision is adequate, there can be no assurance that actual
payments with respect to these claims will not exceed such provision.

THE LOEWEN GROUP INC., ET AL. V. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

In October 1998, the Predecessor and Raymond L. Loewen, the then-Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of the Predecessor, filed a claim against the United
States government for damages under the arbitration provisions of the North
American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"). The claimants contend that they were
damaged as a result of breaches by the United States of its obligations under
NAFTA in connection with certain litigation in the State of Mississippi entitled
O'KEEFE VS. THE LOEWEN GROUP INC. Specifically, the plaintiffs allege that they
were subjected to discrimination, a denial of justice, a denial of the fair and
equitable treatment and full protection and security guaranteed by NAFTA and an
uncompensated expropriation, all in violation of NAFTA. The NAFTA claims are
currently the subject of a pending proceeding before an arbitration panel (the
"Arbitration Tribunal") appointed pursuant to the rules of the International
Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. In January 2001, the Arbitration
Tribunal issued a ruling rejecting certain of the U.S. government's
jurisdictional challenges and scheduled a hearing on the merits of the NAFTA
claims, held on October 15-19, 2001. A motion relating to the jurisdiction of
this matter was heard on June 5, 2002. The matter is now pending before the
Arbitration Tribunal.

ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

(TABULAR AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)

NOTE 4. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Pursuant to the Plan, the Predecessor, through a series of transactions,
transferred to the Company all of its assets, excluding legal title to the NAFTA
claims, and transferred to the Company the right to any and all proceeds from
the NAFTA claims. In addition, pursuant to the Plan, an undivided 25% interest
in the proceeds, if any, of the NAFTA claims as such proceeds may be adjusted as
a result of the arbitration contemplated by the letter agreement between the
Predecessor and Raymond L. Loewen, dated May 27, 1999 (the "NAFTA Arbitration
Agreement"), less (a) any amounts payable under paragraph 3 of the NAFTA
Arbitration Agreement and (b) any amounts payable pursuant to the contingency
fee letter agreement between Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue and the Predecessor,
dated July 25, 2000, was transferred to a liquidating trust for the benefit of
creditors of the Predecessor. Although the Company believes that these actions
should not affect the NAFTA claims, the government of the United States,
respondent in the NAFTA proceeding, has asserted that these actions have
divested the Arbitration Tribunal of jurisdiction over some or all of the
claims. The Company does not believe that it is possible at this time to predict
the final outcome of this proceeding or to establish a reasonable estimate of
the damages, if any, that may be awarded, or the proceeds, if any, that may be
received in respect of the NAFTA claims.

OTHER

The Company is a party to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of
its business, but does not expect the outcome of any other proceedings,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

(b) ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES AND LIABILITIES

The Company's operations are subject to numerous environmental laws,
regulations and guidelines adopted by various governmental authorities in the
jurisdictions in which the Company operates. On a continuing basis, the
Company's business practices are designed to assess and evaluate environmental
risk and, when necessary, conduct appropriate corrective measures. Liabilities
are recorded when known or considered probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company's policies are also designed to control environmental risk upon
acquisition, through extensive due diligence and corrective measures taken prior
to acquisition. Management endeavors to ensure that environmental issues are
identified and addressed in advance of acquisition or are covered by an
indemnity by the seller or an offset to the purchase price.

The Company provides for environmental liabilities using its best estimates.
Actual environmental liabilities could differ significantly from these
estimates.

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 as
at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The basic and diluted earnings per share computations for net income were as
follows:

Employee and director stock options to purchase 2,410,000 shares of Common
stock, and the 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes, due in 2012, were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because they were
anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

On March 6, 2002, Alderwoods Group's Board of Directors ("Board of
Directors") adopted a short-term stockholder rights plan ("Stockholder Rights
Plan"). The Stockholder Rights Plan, which has an 18-month term, was not
established in response to any pending takeover bid for the Company. In
connection with the Stockholder Rights Plan, the Board of Directors, on
March 6, 2002, declared a dividend distribution of one right for each share of
Common stock. The Company also entered into a rights agreement ("Rights
Agreement"), dated as of March 6, 2002, with Wells Fargo Bank, Minnesota,
National Association ("Wells Fargo"), whereby Wells Fargo agreed to act as
rights agent. The Rights Agreement and a summary description of the rights are
available as an exhibit to the Company's report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC
on March 13, 2002.

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a) On June 24, 2002, the Company announced its intention to make an
optional redemption of $15,000,000 of its 11.00% Senior secured notes,
due in 2007, for a redemption price of

this transaction by July 30, 2002.

(b) On July 2, 2002, the Company completed the purchase of the stock held by
the minority interest shareholder in certain Texas entities. Under the
terms of such purchase agreement, the Company paid $5,400,000 to acquire
all of the minority interests, resulting in 100% ownership of all Texas
operating locations.

2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"). There have been no material changes to the reorganization proceedings
reported therein.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the
U.S. dollar as the functional currency and are presented in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all
subsidiary companies and all adjustments, including normal recurring
adjustments, which in management's opinion are necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial results for the interim period. The interim consolidated
financial statements have been prepared consistent with the accounting policies
described in the Predecessor's consolidated financial statements included in
Alderwoods Group's Annual Report as at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed
with the SEC and should be read in conjunction therewith.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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
results could significantly differ from those estimates.

ACCOUNTING CHANGE

The Predecessor implemented the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") effective January 1,
2000, which resulted in a change in revenue recognition for pre-need funeral
contracts and pre-need cemetery contracts. The Predecessor's previously
published financial information for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001, and June 30, 2001, respectively, was prepared on a basis that did not
fully reflect the adoption of SAB 101. The interim financial statements
presented herein, have been restated to give effect to SAB 101. Due to the
volume of historical pre-need funeral and cemetery contracts involved in the
restatement and the lack of certain transactional information related to such
contracts, certain estimation methods have been utilized by Alderwoods Group to
restate the Predecessor's revenue, as a result of the implementation of
SAB 101. These estimation methods have been consistently applied.

In accordance with SAB 101, payments received for pre-need funeral contracts
that are not required to be trusted are deferred and recognized as revenue at
the time the funeral is performed. Previously, revenue was partially recognized
when payments were received. Direct selling expenses relating to the sale of
pre-need funeral contracts are expensed in the period incurred. Previously,
direct selling expenses were included in other assets and amortized over ten
years.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In accordance with SAB 101 the Predecessor recognized revenue and related
costs for pre-need sales of interment rights and related merchandise and
services at the time the interment right title was transferred, merchandise was
delivered or service was performed. Previously, revenue and related costs, net
of amounts required to be paid into perpetual care trusts, were recognized at
the time the pre-need contract was signed. Earnings on merchandise and services
trust funds were recognized when the revenue of the associated merchandise or
service was recognized. Previously, earnings on merchandise and services trust
funds were recognized in the period realized.

The cumulative effect of the implementation of SAB 101 through December 31,
1999, resulted in a charge to income of $986,750,000 (net of income taxes of
$108,719,000), or $13.31 per basic and diluted share, recorded on January 1,
2000. The effect of the restatement, as a result of the implementation of
SAB 101 effective January 1, 2000, is summarized below.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS AND DISPOSITIONS

During 1999, as a result of the Predecessor's reorganization proceedings and
operating performance decline, the Predecessor conducted extensive reviews of
each of its operating locations. The review resulted in the identification of
201 funeral homes and 170 cemeteries as probable for sale and the development of
a program for disposition of these locations, which was approved by the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in January 2000. As a result,
a pre-tax asset impairment provision for long-lived assets of $428,194,000 was
recorded in 1999.

At March 31, 2001, and June 30, 2001, the Predecessor further revised its
estimates of expected proceeds of the locations held for disposal and identified
other locations, which were not part of the previously-announced disposition
properties, as probable for sale. Consequently, additional pre-tax asset
impairment provisions of $15,306,000 and $125,175,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, and June 30, 2001, respectively, were recorded.

The asset impairment provisions were based on management estimates.

During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Predecessor sold 23 funeral
homes and 22 cemeteries for gross proceeds of $22,968,000, before closing and
other settlement costs of $203,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $16,021,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Predecessor sold 77 funeral homes
and 70 cemeteries for gross proceeds of $51,946,000, before closing and other
settlement costs of $358,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $46,541,000.

OVERVIEW

Alderwoods Group, Inc. is the second largest operator of funeral homes and
cemeteries in North America. As of June 15, 2002, the Company operated
794 funeral homes, 190 cemeteries and 64 combination funeral homes and
cemeteries throughout North America and 39 funeral homes in the United Kingdom.
The Company provides funeral and cemetery services and products on both an
at-need basis (time of death) and pre-need basis. In support of its pre-need
business, the Company operates insurance subsidiaries that provide customers
with a funding mechanism for the pre-arrangement of funerals.

Loewen International (incorporated in Delaware on February 25, 1987), as
reorganized and renamed Alderwoods Group, Inc., succeeded to the business
previously conducted by Loewen Group on January 2, 2002 (the "Effective Date").
Alderwoods Group is a holding company owning, directly or indirectly, the
capital stock of approximately 300 subsidiaries through which the funeral,
cemetery and insurance businesses are operated.

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 judgements are described
under Item 7. "-- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" in Alderwoods Group's Annual Report as at
December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC").

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Alderwoods Group succeeded to substantially all of the assets and operations
of Loewen Group on the Effective Date, and continues to operate the businesses
previously conducted by the Loewen Companies.

Certain interim consolidated financial and other information concerning the
Predecessor may be of limited interest to stockholders of the Company and has
been included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, due to the
significant changes in the financial structure of the Company, the application
of "fresh start" reporting as at December 31, 2001, and as a result of the
confirmation and implementation of the Fourth Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization of Loewen Group International, Inc., its Parent Corporation and
Certain of Their Debtor Subsidiaries, as modified (the "Plan") and changes in
accounting policies and fiscal accounting periods adopted by the Company, the
interim consolidated financial and other information of the Company issued
subsequent to the Plan implementation are not comparable with the interim
consolidated financial information and other information issued by the
Predecessor prior to the Plan implementation. Accordingly, management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the
Company compared to the

25

Predecessor should be reviewed with caution, and should not be relied upon as
being indicative of future results of the Company or providing an accurate
comparison of financial performance.

The Company's accounting information contained in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q is presented on the basis of United States generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). Historically, the Predecessor's interim
consolidated financial statements were presented in accordance with Canadian
GAAP, and material differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP were
explained in a note to the Predecessor's interim consolidated financial
statements. In addition, the Predecessor had not in its prior Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q fully implemented the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), as a result of the
Predecessor's ongoing reorganization proceedings. The Predecessor's historical
financial information and the interim consolidated financial statements included
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been restated to the full extent
necessary to comply with U.S. GAAP and the implementation of SAB 101.

On March 6, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in
the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to the Saturday nearest to
December 31 in each year (whether before or after such date). This change is
effective for fiscal year 2002, which will end on December 28, 2002. No
transition report for the change in fiscal year was required.

In connection with the change in fiscal year end, the Company also realigned
its fiscal quarters. The first and second fiscal quarters will each consist of
12 weeks and the third fiscal quarter will consist of 16 weeks. The fourth
fiscal quarter will typically consist of 12 weeks, but this period may be
altered, if necessary, in order to cause the fourth fiscal quarter to end on the
same day as the fiscal year, as described above. As a result of this, the fourth
fiscal quarter will consist of 13 weeks in certain years.

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations of the Company and the Predecessor are based upon and should be read
in conjunction with the Company's interim consolidated financial statements and
the Predecessor's interim consolidated financial statements included in Part I
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including the notes thereto).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY ARE NOT NECESSARILY
INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE EXPECTED FOR THE FULL FISCAL YEAR OR FOR
ANY OTHER INTERIM PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, A COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
WITH THE PREDECESSOR IS NOT MEANINGFUL AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED WITH CAUTION DUE
TO:

- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY;

- APPLICATION OF FRESH START REPORTING AT DECEMBER 31, 2001, AS A RESULT OF
THE CONFIRMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN;

- CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CERTAIN ACCOUNT CLASSIFICATIONS ADOPTED
UPON EMERGENCE; AND

- CHANGES IN THE FISCAL YEAR AND THE LENGTH OF QUARTERLY PERIODS.

ACCORDINGLY, A BLACK LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN TO SEPARATE AND DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS THAT RELATE TO THE COMPANY AND THE
PREDECESSOR.

Detailed below are the operating results of the Company for the 12 weeks
ended June 15, 2002, and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the Predecessor for
the three months ended June 30, 2001, and six months ended June 30, 2001. The
operating results are expressed in dollar amounts as well as relevant
percentages, presented as a percentage of revenue, except for income taxes,
which are presented as a percentage of earnings before income taxes.

The operations of the Company comprise, and the operations of the
Predecessor comprised, three businesses: funeral homes, cemeteries and
insurance. Additional segment information is provided in

26

Note 7 and Note 5 of the Company's and Predecessor's interim consolidated
financial statements, respectively.

12 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE 12 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002, ARE NOT
NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE EXPECTED FOR THE FULL FISCAL
YEAR OR FOR ANY OTHER INTERIM PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, A COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL
PERFORMANCE WITH THE PREDECESSOR IS NOT MEANINGFUL AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED WITH
CAUTION DUE TO:

- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY;

- APPLICATION OF FRESH START REPORTING AT DECEMBER 31, 2001, AS A RESULT OF
THE CONFIRMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN;

- CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CERTAIN ACCOUNT CLASSIFICATIONS ADOPTED
UPON EMERGENCE; AND

- CHANGES IN THE FISCAL YEAR AND THE LENGTH OF QUARTERLY PERIODS.

Consolidated revenue for the Company of $189.6 million for the 12 weeks
ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $20.3 million, or 9.7%, compared to
approximately $209.9 million for the Predecessor's three months ended June 30,
2001, primarily as a result of a reduction of approximately $16.9 million
related to 98 funeral and 97 cemetery locations sold or closed since April 1,
2001, and approximately $14.7 million estimated to be the effect of the
difference in number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the
Predecessor's second quarter, partially offset by approximately $17.6 million of
Rose Hills Holding Corp. ("Rose Hills") revenue now consolidated in the
Company's results, which was previously accounted for on an equity investment
basis. Consolidated gross margin for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was
approximately $35.7 million, a decline of approximately

27

$14.3 million, or 28.5%, from the Predecessor's consolidated gross margin of
approximately $50.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. As a
percentage of consolidated revenue, consolidated gross margin of the Company
similarly declined from the Predecessor's 23.8% to 18.9%. The percentage
decrease in consolidated gross margin is primarily attributed to the decline in
funeral and cemetery gross margin (excluding the respective gross margin from
Rose Hills, which reflects higher margin for cemetery and funeral) and insurance
gross margin. Consolidated gross margin, as with revenue, was similarly impacted
by the changes affecting comparability of the Company and the Predecessor.

Funeral revenue for the Company of $126.5 million for the 12 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, decreased by $3.9 million, or 3.0%, compared to $130.4 million
for the Predecessor's three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is
primarily due to (1) an estimated reduction of approximately $9.5 million from
the difference in number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the
Predecessor's second quarter, and (2) a reduction of approximately $5.6 million
related to funeral locations sold or closed since April 1, 2001, which more than
offset an increase of approximately $7.3 million from the inclusion of Rose
Hills, now consolidated in the Company's operating results. In addition, at
locations in operation for all of the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the
three months ended June 30, 2001, and after adjusting for the difference in the
number of days in the respective quarters, the Company estimates that funeral
revenue increased $3.9 million and the number of funeral services performed
increased by 1.4%. Overall average funeral revenue per service for the Company
for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was $3,773, compared to $3,721 for the
Predecessor in the three months ended June 30, 2001.

Funeral costs for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased slightly by
approximately $0.7 million, primarily as a result of (1) a reduction of
approximately $6.9 million from the difference in the number of days in the
Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter, (2) a
reduction of approximately $5.2 million related to funeral locations sold or
closed since April 1, 2001, (3) an increase of approximately $4.6 million from
the inclusion of Rose Hills, and (4) an increase of approximately $6.9 million
from regional manager and depreciation expense not previously included in
funeral costs.

Pre-need funeral contracts written by the Company for the 12 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, were approximately $38.7 million, compared to $27.9 million by
the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The Company estimates
that it has a backlog of approximately $1.1 billion in pre-need funeral
contracts as of June 15, 2002. Approximately 28% of funeral volume for the 12
weeks ended June 15, 2002, was derived from the backlog, compared to
approximately 22% from the Predecessor's backlog for the three months ended
June 30, 2001.

Overall funeral gross margin of the Company, as a percentage of revenue,
decreased to 24.9% for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, from the Predecessor's
26.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to the decline in
costs being at a rate less than that commensurate with the revenue decline. The
decline in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was also affected by the
additional regional manager and depreciation expense, partially offset by the
inclusion of Rose Hills.

Cemetery revenue for the Company of $38.8 million for the 12 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $14.2 million, or 26.8%, compared to
$53.0 million for the Predecessor's three months ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease is primarily due to (1) an estimated reduction of approximately
$3.2 million from the difference in number of days in the Company's second
quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter, (2) a reduction of
approximately $11.3 million related to cemetery locations sold since April 1,
2001, which together more than offset an increase of approximately
$10.3 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, now consolidated in the
Company's operating results. In addition, at locations in operation for all of
the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the three months ended June 30, 2001, and
after adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective
quarters, the Company estimates that cemetery revenue declined approximately
$10.0 million, of which $8.8 million was due to lower pre-need revenue. Pre-need
revenue is impacted by the quantity of spaces sold, merchandise installed and
services performed, as well as, to the extent revenue was deferred at
December 31, 2001, the impact of fresh start reporting and the established fair
value of the related deferred revenue being recognized.

28

Cemetery costs for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased by
approximately $4.5 million, primarily as a result of (1) a reduction of
approximately $2.5 million from the difference in the number of days in the
Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second quarter, (2) a
reduction of approximately $10.2 million related to 97 cemetery locations sold
since April 1, 2001, and (3) an increase of approximately $8.6 million from the
inclusion of Rose Hills.

Pre-need cemetery contracts written by the Company during the 12 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, were approximately $21.5 million, approximately $1.0 million
higher than those written by the Predecessor for the three months ended
June 30, 2002, as decreases due to 97 cemetery locations sold since April 1,
2001, and the effect of the shorter fiscal quarter in 2002 versus 2001, were
more than offset by the inclusion of Rose Hills' operating results and improved
pre-need sales. Interments were approximately 15,500 for the 12 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, of which approximately 81% were at-need and 19% were pre-need
fulfillments.

Overall cemetery gross margin of the Company for the 12 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 2.2%, compared to 19.9%
for the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was
primarily due to the fixed nature of certain expenses, the cost reductions of
which were not commensurate with the revenue declines experienced. The key
components of this decline include the impact of the reduced fair value of
revenue deferred at December 31, 2001, and recognized in 2002, and the
additional regional manager and depreciation expense, partially offset by the
inclusion of Rose Hills.

Insurance revenue for the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002,
decreased by approximately $2.2 million, or 8.2%, compared to the Predecessor
for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to the difference in the
number of days in the Company's second quarter versus the Predecessor's second
quarter. Costs, consisting primarily of benefit and claims costs, commissions,
policy reserve changes, and wages, decreased slightly by approximately
$0.8 million. As a result of the higher decrease in revenue, primarily due to
the decline in investment income, compared to costs, overall insurance gross
margin for the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased to 14.0%,
compared to 18.0% for the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001.

General and administrative expenses for the Company for the 12 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, were approximately $12.2 million, or 6.4% of consolidated
revenue, substantially lower than the $16.9 million, or 8.1% of consolidated
revenue, of the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The
decline was due in part to the effects of the shorter fiscal quarter in 2002,
versus 2001, estimated at approximately $1.0 million, and the effects of
classification in 2002 of certain regional manager costs as operating costs and
depreciation as general and administrative expenses, estimated at approximately
$1.5 million. The classifications in 2002 more appropriately reflect the nature
and source of such costs in line with industry practice. In addition, certain
benefits continue to be derived from previous process and system enhancements
developed throughout the Predecessor's reorganization process and now in place
for the Company.

As a result of the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on December 31, 2001,
goodwill is not amortized, but will be tested annually for impairment. The
Predecessor's depreciation and amortization of $12.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2001, included approximately $4.2 million of amortization
of names and reputations.

Interest expense for the Company on long-term debt for the 12 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, was approximately $20.3 million, an increase of approximately
$18.3 million compared to the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30,
2001, primarily reflecting interest expense on the Company's new debt issued on
the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan, and Rose Hills' debt assumed by the
Company at the same time. Of this amount, approximately $0.6 million was related
to the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2004, which were redeemed by the
Company on April 26, 2002. Interest expense includes amortization of
approximately $0.2 million of discount on the 9.50% Senior subordinated notes,
due in

29

2004 and approximately $0.2 million of premium on the 12.25% Convertible
subordinated notes, due in 2012.

Income tax expense for the Company for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was
approximately $0.9 million compared to approximately $15.2 million of income tax
recovery for the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The
Company's effective tax rate for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002, varied from
the statutory tax rate, primarily because (1) the losses incurred in certain
jurisdictions may not offset the tax expense in profitable jurisdictions, and
(2) there are differences between foreign and United States income tax rates.
Future income and losses, and the disposition of certain locations, may require
the Company to record a change in the valuation allowance of tax assets that
were taken into account in determining the net amount of liability for deferred
income taxes recorded on its balance sheet at June 15, 2002. If this occurs, any
resulting increase in the valuation allowance would generally be treated as an
additional income tax expense in the period in which it arises, while any
resulting decrease in the valuation allowance established on the Effective Date
would be treated as a reduction of goodwill with any excess over the value
assigned to goodwill recognized as a capital transaction.

The Company had approximately $74.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at
June 15, 2002, a decrease of approximately $39.5 million since March 23, 2002,
due primarily to the $49.6 million redemption of the 12.25% Senior unsecured
notes due in 2004, on April 26, 2002, partially offset by operating cash flow of
$22.8 million for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2002. In addition, the Company had
net proceeds on asset sales of $4.3 million, purchases of property and equipment
of $3.3 million and net insurance asset purchases of approximately
$8.2 million. The Company also made payments on the bank credit agreement,
promissory notes and capitalized obligations of $5.5 million.

24 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE 24 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002, ARE NOT
NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE EXPECTED FOR THE FULL FISCAL
YEAR OR FOR ANY OTHER INTERIM PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, A COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL
PERFORMANCE WITH THE PREDECESSOR IS NOT MEANINGFUL AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED WITH
CAUTION DUE TO:

- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY;

- APPLICATION OF FRESH START REPORTING AT DECEMBER 31, 2001, AS A RESULT OF
THE CONFIRMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN;

- CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CERTAIN ACCOUNT CLASSIFICATIONS ADOPTED
UPON EMERGENCE; AND

- CHANGES IN THE FISCAL YEAR AND THE LENGTH OF QUARTERLY PERIODS.

Consolidated revenue for the Company of $389.2 million for the 24 weeks
ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $43.0 million, or 9.9%, compared to
approximately $432.2 million for the Predecessor's six months ended June 30,
2001, primarily as a result of a reduction of approximately $36.1 million
related to 152 funeral and 145 cemetery locations sold or closed since
January 1, 2001, and approximately $32.6 million estimated to be the effect of
the difference in the number of days in the Company's first and second quarters
versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, partially offset by
approximately $36.2 million of Rose Hills' revenue now consolidated in the
Company's results, which was previously accounted for on an equity investment
basis, and an increase of approximately $2.6 million of insurance revenue.
Consolidated gross margin for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was
approximately $78.3 million, a decline of approximately $30.3 million, or 27.9%,
from the Predecessor's consolidated gross margin of approximately
$108.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. As a percentage of
consolidated revenue, consolidated gross margin of the Company similarly
declined from the Predecessor's 25.1% to 20.1%. The percentage decrease in
consolidated gross margin is primarily attributed to the decline in funeral and
cemetery gross margin (excluding the respective gross margin from Rose Hills,
which reflect higher margin for cemetery and funeral). Consolidated gross
margin, as with revenue, was similarly impacted by the changes affecting
comparability of the Company and the Predecessor.

Funeral revenue for the Company of $258.3 million for the 24 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $15.4 million, or 5.6%, compared to
$273.7 million for the Predecessor's six months ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease is primarily due to (1) an estimated reduction of approximately
$21.5 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's first
and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, and
(2) a reduction of approximately $12.0 million related to funeral locations sold
or closed since January 1, 2001, which more than offset an increase of
approximately $15.8 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, now consolidated
in the Company's operating results. In addition, at locations in operation for
all of the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the six months ended June 30, 2001,
and after adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective
quarters, the Company estimates that funeral revenue increased $2.4 million and
the number of funeral services performed increased by 0.2%. Overall average
funeral revenue per service for the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15,
2002, was $3,698, compared to $3,684 for the Predecessor in the six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Funeral costs for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately
$2.8 million, primarily as a result of (1) a reduction of approximately
$15.1 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's first
and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, (2) a
reduction of approximately $11.1 million related to funeral locations sold or
closed since January 1, 2001, (3) an increase of approximately $11.5 million
from the inclusion of Rose Hills, and (4) an increase of approximately
$12.1 million from regional manager and depreciation expense not previously
included in funeral costs.

31

Pre-need funeral contracts written by the Company for the 24 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, were approximately $77.4 million, compared to $55.0 million by
the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Approximately 28% of
funeral volume for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was derived from the
backlog, compared to approximately 22% from the Predecessor's backlog for the
six months ended June 30, 2001.

Overall funeral gross margin of the Company, as a percentage of revenue,
decreased to 25.4% for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, from the Predecessor's
28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to the decline in
costs being at a rate less than that commensurate with the revenue decline. The
decline in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was affected by the
additional regional manager and depreciation expense, partially offset by the
inclusion of Rose Hills.

Cemetery revenue for the Company of $78.1 million for the 24 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, decreased approximately $30.2 million, or 27.9%, compared to
$108.3 million for the Predecessor's six months ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease is primarily due to (1) an estimated reduction of approximately
$6.9 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's first
and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, (2) a
reduction of approximately $24.1 million related to cemetery locations sold
since January 1, 2001, which together more than offset an increase of
approximately $20.4 million from the inclusion of Rose Hills, now consolidated
in the Company's operating results. At locations in operation for all of the 24
weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the six months ended June 30, 2001, and after
adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective quarters,
the Company estimates that cemetery revenue declined approximately
$19.7 million, of which $18.7 million was due to lower pre-need revenue.
Pre-need revenue is impacted by the quantity of spaces sold, merchandise
installed and services performed, as well as, to the extent revenue was deferred
at December 31, 2001, the impact of fresh start reporting and the established
fair value of the related deferred revenue being recognized.

Cemetery costs for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, decreased approximately
$10.4 million, primarily as a result of (1) a reduction of approximately
$5.8 million from the difference in the number of days in the Company's first
and second quarters versus the Predecessor's first and second quarters, (2) a
reduction of approximately $12.8 million related to 145 cemetery locations sold
since January 1, 2001, and (3) an increase of approximately $16.4 million from
the inclusion of Rose Hills. In addition, at locations in operation for all of
the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and the six months ended June 30, 2001, and
after adjusting for the difference in the number of days in the respective
periods, the Company estimates that cemetery costs declined approximately
$8.2 million, due to lower costs of goods sold, primarily from the lower
pre-need revenue.

Pre-need cemetery contracts written by the Company during the 24 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, were approximately $40.5 million, approximately $0.8 million
lower than those written by the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30,
2002, as decreases due to 145 cemetery locations sold and the cumulative effect
of the shorter fiscal quarter in 2002 versus 2001, were partially offset by the
inclusion of Rose Hills' operating results and improved pre-need sales.
Interments were approximately 35,100 for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, of
which approximately 80% were at-need and 20% were pre-need fulfillments.

Overall cemetery gross margin of the Company for the 24 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 5.3%, compared to 22.2%
for the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was
primarily due to the fixed nature of certain expenses, the cost reductions of
which were not commensurate with the revenue declines experienced. The key
components of this decline include the impact of the reduced fair value of
revenue deferred at December 31, 2001, and recognized in 2002, and the
additional regional manager and depreciation expense, partially offset by the
inclusion of Rose Hills.

Insurance revenue for the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002,
increased $2.6 million, or 5.3%, compared to the Predecessor for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to higher

32

premium revenue of approximately $1.4 million and higher investment income of
approximately $1.2 million. Costs, consisting primarily of benefit and claims
costs, commissions, policy reserve changes, and wages, were consistent for the
24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, and six months ended June 30, 2001, for the
Company and Predecessor, respectively. As a result of higher revenues and
improved costs, overall insurance gross margin for the Company for the 24 weeks
ended June 15, 2002, increased to 16.3%, compared to 12.9% for the Predecessor
for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

General and administrative expenses for the Company for the 24 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, were $23.5 million, or 6.0% of consolidated revenue,
substantially lower than the $32.3 million, or 7.5% of consolidated revenue, of
the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decline was due in
part to the estimated effects of the shorter fiscal quarter in 2002, versus
2001, approximately $2.1 million, and the effects of classification in 2002 of
certain regional manager costs as operating costs and depreciation as general
and administrative expenses, approximately $4.1 million. The classifications in
2002 more appropriately reflect the nature and source of such costs in line with
industry practice. In addition, certain benefits continue to be derived from
previous process and system enhancements developed throughout the Predecessor's
reorganization process and now in place for the Company.

As a result of the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on December 31, 2001,
goodwill is not amortized, but will be tested annually for impairment. The
Predecessor's depreciation and amortization of $26.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, included approximately $8.4 million of amortization of
names and reputations.

Interest expense for the Company on long-term debt for the 24 weeks ended
June 15, 2002, was approximately $41.2 million, an increase of approximately
$36.5 million compared to the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30,
2001, primarily reflecting interest expense on the Company's new debt issued on
the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan, and Rose Hills' debt assumed by the
Company at the same time. Of this amount, approximately $2.0 million was related
to the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2004, which were redeemed by the
Company on April 26, 2002. Interest expense includes amortization of
approximately $0.4 million of discount on the 9.50% Senior subordinated notes,
due in 2004 and approximately $0.4 million of premium on the 12.25% Convertible
subordinated notes, due in 2012.

Income tax expense for the Company for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, was
approximately $4.7 million compared to approximately $11.2 million of income tax
recovery for the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
Company's effective tax rate for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, varied from
the statutory tax rate, primarily because (1) the losses incurred in certain
jurisdictions may not offset the tax expense in profitable jurisdictions,
(2) there are differences between foreign and United States income tax rates,
and (3) tax benefits generated by enacted United States tax legislation provide
retroactive relief to the Company. Future income and losses, and the disposition
of certain locations, may require the Company to record a change in the
valuation allowance of tax assets that were taken into account in determining
the net amount of liability for deferred income taxes recorded on its balance
sheet at June 15, 2002. If this occurs, any resulting increase in the valuation
allowance would generally be treated as an additional income tax expense in the
period in which it arises, while any resulting decrease in the valuation
allowance established on the Effective Date would be treated as a reduction of
goodwill with any excess over the value assigned to goodwill recognized as a
capital transaction.

The Company's decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $27.0 million from
December 31, 2001 to June 15, 2002, is due primarily to the $49.6 million
redemption of the 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2004, on April 26, 2002,
partially offset by operating cash flow of $37.3 million for the 24 weeks ended
June 15, 2002. In addition, the Company had net proceeds on asset sales of
$15.9 million, purchases of property and equipment of $6.5 million and net
insurance asset purchases of approximately $15.4 million.

33

The Company made payments on the bank credit agreement, promissory notes and
capitalized obligations of $9.1 million.

At December 31, 2001, the Company had accrued approximately $57.1 million of
reorganization costs related to costs incurred during the Predecessor's
reorganization, as well as costs incurred in connection with the actual
emergence and various activities related thereto. Of this amount, the Company
paid approximately $9.4 million and $21.9 million during the 12 weeks and 24
weeks ended June 15, 2002, respectively, resulting in a balance of approximately
$35.2 million. While at this time the Company expects to pay the remaining
balance during the remainder of fiscal year 2002, potential delays in the
completion of the reorganization process may result in the payment of some
portion of these reorganization costs in fiscal year 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued, among other things, debt
securities for the discharge of a substantial portion of the Debtors'
liabilities subject to compromise. For information regarding debt securities,
see Item 7. "-- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report as at December 31, 2001,
on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. There have been no material changes to the
disclosure on debt securities made in such Form 10-K, except as described below.

As of June 15, 2002, the Company's borrowing base was approximately
$62 million under the revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit
Facility"), less $18.5 million in outstanding letters of credit.

The Revolving Credit Facility, 11% Senior secured notes due in 2007 (the
"Five-Year Secured Notes"), 12.25% Senior unsecured notes due in 2009 (the
"Seven-Year Unsecured Notes") and 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in
2012 (the "Convertible Subordinated Notes"), are guaranteed by substantially all
of Alderwoods Group's wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, other than Rose Hills and
its subsidiaries, Alderwoods Group's insurance subsidiaries and certain other
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. There are no cross-guarantees of debt
between the Company and Rose Hills or its subsidiaries.

On April 17, 2002, the Company called for the redemption of all its
outstanding 12.25% Senior unsecured notes, due in 2004 (the "Two-Year Unsecured
Notes"). On April 26, 2002, all outstanding Two-Year Unsecured Notes were
redeemed for a total redemption price of $49.6 million, plus accrued interest to
(but not including) April 26, 2002. On June 24, 2002, the Company announced its
intention to make an optional redemption of $15.0 million of its 11.00% Senior
secured notes, due in 2007, for a redemption price of $15.0 million, plus
accrued interest. The Company anticipates completing this transaction by
July 30, 2002.

The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
of capital assets and amortization of grave spaces ("EBITDA") and recurring free
cash flow for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, are presented in
the table below. Recurring free cash flow is calculated by adjusting cash
provided by operations to exclude non-recurring items, and then subtracting
maintenance capital expenditures. EBITDA and recurring free cash flow are not
terms that have specific meaning in

34

accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be calculated differently from other
enterprises. They should not be considered in isolation from net earnings
measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Though significant leverage will continue, the Company believes that the
Revolving Credit Facility, together with existing cash and cash equivalents on
hand, cash flow from operations, as well as successful refinancing of certain
Rose Hills debt, will be sufficient to meet all anticipated expenditures and
working capital requirements through at least June 30, 2003, including payment
obligations under the indebtedness described above.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

For the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, the Company acquired seven funeral
homes in the United Kingdom for approximately $0.9 million.

During the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002, the Company sold or closed
28 funeral homes, 26 cemeteries and one combination funeral home and cemetery
for net proceeds of approximately $15.9 million. At June 15, 2002, the Company
had 12 funeral homes and 25 cemeteries under signed agreements for sale, with
net assets and expected proceeds of approximately $3.5 million and
$3.7 million, respectively.

On July 2, 2002, the Company completed the purchase of the stock held by the
minority interest shareholder in certain Texas entities. Under the terms of such
purchase agreement, the Company paid $5.4 million to acquire all of the minority
interests, resulting in 100% ownership of all Texas operating locations.

RESTRICTIONS

The indentures governing the Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year
Unsecured Notes and the 12.25% Convertible subordinated notes due in 2012 will
prohibit the Company from consummating certain asset sales unless
(a) consideration at least equal to fair market value is received and
(b) except with respect to specified assets, not less than 75% of the
consideration for the asset sale is cash or cash equivalents. Within 270 days of
the receipt of net proceeds from any such asset sale, the Company will be
obligated to apply such net proceeds at its option (or as otherwise required) as
follows: (a) to pay the Revolving Credit Facility and permanently reduce
commitments with respect thereto, or (b) to make capital expenditures or
acquisitions of other assets in the same line of business as the Company or
certain of its subsidiaries or businesses related thereto. To the extent the
Company receives net proceeds from any

35

such asset sale not applied in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence in excess of certain thresholds, the Company must offer to purchase
Five-Year Secured Notes, Seven-Year Unsecured Notes or Convertible Subordinated
Notes (in that order) with such excess proceeds.

The Company's insurance subsidiaries are subject to certain state
regulations that restrict distributions, loans and advances from such
subsidiaries to the Company and its other subsidiaries.

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 as at December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as filed with
the SEC. As of June 15, 2002, there have been no material developments with
respect to such matters since such Form 10-K was filed, except as noted below.

The Company's debt instrument sensitivity to floating interest rates is
based on the Company's floating rate debt being based in the United States.
Accordingly, changes in U.S. interest rates can affect the interest paid on the
Company's floating rate debt. The current mix of fixed and floating rate debt
was determined by the Plan. At June 15, 2002, the Company's total fixed rate
debt was $719.0 million, representing approximately 93% of total debt, and had a
weighted average interest rate of 11.37%. The Company's floating interest rate
exposure of $57.2 million at June 15, 2002, represents approximately 7% of total
debt and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.9%. A one percent change in
the applicable floating rate indices would cause an approximately $0.6 million
change in the Company's annual interest expense.

The principal cash flows and the related weighted average interest rates as
of June 15, 2002, are presented below. The carrying values of the Company's debt
instruments are included in Note 3 to the Company's interim consolidated
financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS

- ------------------------------

(1) The Company is required to achieve specified earnings to fixed charges
ratios and specified levels of tangible net worth. Adverse operating results
could cause the Company to be unable to achieve these financial ratios and
tests, in which event, unless the Company were able to obtain waivers with
respect to non-compliance, certain of the Company's long-term debt would be
in default and the holders thereof could accelerate the maturities of
such debt.

PART II

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 5. OTHER INFORMATION

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

The Company has not yet selected the date for its 2003 annual meeting of
stockholders, but anticipates that it will be held on or about May 1, 2003.
Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that
any stockholder proposals be submitted to the Company for action at the
Company's annual meeting of stockholders not less than 120 calendar days before
the date of any proxy statement that the Company released to stockholders last
year, or, if the Company did not send such a proxy statement (which the Company
did not, given the reorganization of the Predecessor), a reasonable time before
the Company begins to print and mail the proxy statement for its 2003 annual
meeting of stockholders. The Company believes that the proxy statement will be
mailed on or about March 1, 2003, for its 2003 annual meeting of stockholders
and that, therefore, a reasonable time before such mailing for the purpose of
any stockholder proposals would be a deadline of November 1, 2002.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including
certain statements made in the section entitled "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk," in other filings made with the SEC, and
elsewhere (including oral statements made on behalf of the Company) 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.
Certain events or circumstances, including those described below under the
caption "Risk Factors," could cause actual results to differ materially from
those estimated, projected or predicted. 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.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
following important factors, among others, could cause future results to differ
materially from estimates, predictions or projections.

FUTURE REVENUES ARE UNCERTAIN

1. VOLUME, MIX AND MARGINS ARE UNCERTAIN. Revenue is significantly
affected by the volume of services rendered and the mix and pricing of services
and products sold. Cemetery revenues are also significantly affected by the
fulfillment of previously sold pre-need cemetery contracts and the writing of
pre-need cemetery contracts for interment rights. Margins are affected by
changes in revenue, their related costs and the level of fixed costs in
operating our funeral homes and cemeteries. Further, revenue and margins may be
affected by competitive pricing strategies.

37

2. NUMBER OF PRE-NEED CONTRACTS WRITTEN IS DEPENDENT UPON AN ADEQUATE
SALESFORCE. The level of pre-need contracts written is dependent upon
maintaining an adequate salesforce. Accordingly, the future success of the
Company is dependent upon the Company's ability to attract, train and retain an
adequate number of salespeople.

3. TRUST INCOME IS SUBJECT TO MARKET CONDITIONS. Cemetery revenue is
impacted by the trust income on perpetual care trust funds which is recognized
when the trust income is earned. Trust income on funeral and cemetery
merchandise and service trust funds is deferred and revenue is recognized when
the underlying merchandise and service obligations are fulfilled. The level of
trust income is largely dependent on yields available in connection with the
investment of the balances held in such trust funds. Available yields may be
subject to significant fluctuations in response to conditions in the economy in
general.

4. THE DEATH RATE MAY DECREASE. The death rate in the United States
declined approximately 1% in 1997 and approximately 2% in 1998, reversing a
trend of an approximate 1% increase per year since 1980. However, for the
combined two-year period from 1998 to 2000, the death rate has declined by less
than 1%. Industry studies indicate that the average age of the population is
increasing. The financial results of the Company may be affected by any decline
in the death rate.

5. THE RATE OF CREMATION IS INCREASING. There is an increasing trend in
the United States toward cremation. According to industry studies, cremations
represented approximately 26% of the burials performed in the United States in
2000, as compared with approximately 10% in 1980, and this percentage has been
increasing by approximately 1% annually over the past five years. Compared to
traditional funeral services, cremations have historically generated similar
gross profit percentages but lower revenues. A substantial increase in the rate
of cremations performed by the Company could have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations of the Company.

6. DISPOSITIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT REVENUES. Revenue is also affected by
the level of dispositions. The Predecessor's recent dispositions of funeral and
cemetery properties had a significant and adverse impact on the Predecessor's
revenue. The Company's future revenue may be similarly affected.

THE COMPANY HAS SUBSTANTIAL DEBT

1. SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE WILL CONTINUE. The Company's total carrying value
of long-term indebtedness (including the current portion thereof) is
$782.0 million as of June 15, 2002. While the Company believes that future
operating cash flow, together with financing arrangements, will be sufficient to
finance operating requirements under the Company's business plan, the Company's
leverage and debt service requirements could make it more vulnerable to economic
downturns in the markets the Company intends to serve or in the economy
generally. The Company's indebtedness could restrict its ability to obtain
additional financing in the future and, because the Company may be more
leveraged than certain of its competitors, could place the Company at a
competitive disadvantage.

2. DEBT INSTRUMENTS CONTAIN RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT MAY LIMIT LIQUIDITY
AND CORPORATE ACTIVITIES. The Revolving Credit Facility and the indentures
governing the Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year Unsecured Notes, the
Convertible Subordinated Notes and the Rose Hills debt contain covenants that
impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company. For example, these
covenants restrict the ability of Alderwoods Group, and most of its
subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, prepay indebtedness, allow liens
on assets, sell stock or other assets without using proceeds thereof to reduce
the indebtedness of the Company, engage in mergers or acquisitions, make
investments or pay dividends or distributions (other than to Alderwoods Group or
one of its subsidiaries). These covenants could prohibit the Company from making
acquisitions and adversely affect the Company's ability to finance future
operations by limiting the incurrence of additional indebtedness or requiring
equity issuance proceeds to be applied to reduce indebtedness. In addition, the
Company is required to achieve specified earnings to fixed charges ratios and
specified levels of tangible net worth. Adverse operating results could cause
the

38

Company to be unable to achieve these financial ratios and tests, in which
event, unless the Company were able to obtain appropriate waivers with respect
to non-compliance, certain of the Company's long-term debt would be in default
and the holders thereof could accelerate the maturities of such debt.

3. SUBSIDIARY STOCK IS SUBJECT TO SECURITY INTERESTS. The capital stock of
subsidiaries directly owned by Alderwoods Group or a subsidiary guarantor of the
Revolving Credit Facility is subject to various liens and security interests,
subject to percentage limitations in the case of foreign subsidiaries. If a
holder of a security interest becomes entitled to exercise its rights as a
secured party, it would have the right to foreclose upon and sell or otherwise
transfer the collateral subject to its security interest, and the collateral
accordingly would be unavailable to Alderwoods Group or the subsidiary owning
the collateral, except to the extent, if any, that the value of the affected
collateral exceeds the amount of indebtedness in respect of which such
foreclosure rights are exercised.

4. THE SECURITY FOR THE FIVE-YEAR SECURED NOTES MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO
SECURE PAYMENTS. The Company's obligations under the indenture governing the
Five-Year Secured Notes is secured by collateral which consists of
(i) substantially all personal property (other than capital stock) and (ii) the
material funeral home real property assets pledged under the Revolving Credit
Facility of the Company and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The rights
of the holders of the Five-Year Secured Notes to this collateral will be
subordinate to those of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. The
proceeds from the sale of this collateral may not be sufficient to satisfy
amounts due on the Five-Year Secured Notes.

If, upon a foreclosure on the collateral, the proceeds from the sale of such
collateral is insufficient to satisfy the entire amount due on the Five-Year
Secured Notes, the claim by the holders of the Five-Year Secured Notes against
the Company for this deficiency would rank equally with the claims of the other
general, unsubordinated creditors of the Company. The remaining assets of the
Company may not be sufficient to satisfy this deficiency.

5. CERTAIN DEBT IS EFFECTIVELY SUBORDINATED TO OBLIGATIONS OF
SUBSIDIARIES. Alderwoods Group principally is a holding company, and therefore
its right to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon
that subsidiary's dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization or
otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except
to the extent that Alderwoods Group may be a creditor of that subsidiary and its
claims are recognized. There are various legal limitations on the extent to
which some of the subsidiaries of Alderwoods Group may extend credit, pay
dividends or otherwise supply funds to, or engage in transactions with, the
Company or its other subsidiaries. The Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year
Unsecured Notes and the Convertible Subordinated Notes are effectively
subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the subsidiaries
except to the extent that those subsidiaries have guaranteed obligations of
Alderwoods Group to pay amounts due on the Five-Year Secured Notes, the
Seven-Year Unsecured Notes or the Convertible Subordinated Notes, as applicable.

THE TAX RATE IS UNCERTAIN

1. EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATE MAY VARY. The Company expects that its
effective income tax rate for 2002 and beyond may vary significantly from the
statutory tax rate because (i) the losses incurred in certain jurisdictions may
not offset the tax expense in profitable jurisdictions, (ii) there are
differences between foreign and United States income tax rates, and (iii) many
tax years are subject to audit by different tax jurisdictions.

2. FEDERAL TAX AUDIT COULD IMPACT TAX RATE. In connection with the audit
of the Predecessor's 1993 through 1998 federal income tax returns, the Company
and the Internal Revenue Service have reached a tentative agreement that
resolves certain issues that were in dispute. This tentative agreement has been
submitted to the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation ("Joint Committee")
for its review and approval. If approved by the Joint Committee, this tentative
agreement would have a significant positive

39

effect on the Company's future tax rate in the year of settlement. However, the
ultimate outcome and timing of the final resolution cannot be determined at
this time.

CAPITAL STOCK: LACK OF ESTABLISHED MARKET AND DIVIDENDS NOT ANTICIPATED;
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS

1. THERE IS LIMITED TRADING HISTORY FOR THE COMMON STOCK AND THE WARRANTS;
VOLATILITY IS POSSIBLE. In January 2002, the Company's Common stock and
warrants commenced trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Due to the limited
trading history of the Company's Common stock and warrants, there can be no
assurance that an active market for the Common stock and warrants will develop
or, if any such market does develop, that it will continue to exist or as to the
degree of price volatility in any such market that does develop. Moreover, the
Common stock and warrants were issued pursuant to the Plan to holders of claims
in several classes of creditors, some of which may prefer to liquidate their
investment rather than hold it on a long-term basis. Accordingly, it is
anticipated that the market for the Common stock and warrants will be volatile,
at least for an initial period after the Effective Date. In addition, the market
price of the Common stock and warrants may be subject to significant
fluctuations in response to numerous factors, including variations in the
Company's annual or quarterly financial results or those of its competitors,
changes by financial analysts in their estimates of the future earnings of the
Company, conditions in the economy in general or in the funeral industry in
particular or unfavorable publicity. Additionally, there can be no assurance
that the market value of the Common stock will exceed the exercise price of the
warrants at any time prior to their expiration.

2. DIVIDENDS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED; PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS IS SUBJECT TO
RESTRICTION. Alderwoods Group is not expected to pay any dividends on the
Common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, covenants in the respective
indentures governing the Five-Year Secured Notes, the Seven-Year Unsecured Notes
and the Convertible Subordinated Notes and in the Revolving Credit Facility
restrict the ability of Alderwoods Group to pay dividends and may prohibit the
payment of dividends and certain other payments. Certain institutional investors
may only invest in dividend-paying equity securities or may operate under other
restrictions that may prohibit or limit their ability to invest in the Common
stock.

3. CERTAIN PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND RIGHTS PLAN HAVE
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS. Certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation
and bylaws, of Alderwoods Group, as well as the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of Alderwoods Group. Such provisions, including those
providing for the possible issuance of preferred stock of Alderwoods Group
without stockholder approval, regulating the nomination of directors and
eliminating stockholder action by written consent may make it more difficult for
other persons, without the approval of the Board of Directors (the "Board of
Alderwoods Group"), to make a tender offer or otherwise acquire substantial
amounts of the Common stock or to launch other takeover attempts that a
stockholder might consider to be in such stockholder's best interest.
Additionally, the Company's short-term stockholder rights plan, which was
adopted by the Board of Alderwoods Group on March 6, 2002, and became effective
on March 26, 2002, may also delay, defer or prevent a change of control of
Alderwoods Group. Under the rights plan, each outstanding share of Common stock
has one right attached that trades with the Common stock. Absent prior action by
the Board of Alderwoods Group to redeem the rights or amend the rights plan,
upon the consummation of certain acquisition transactions, the rights would
entitle the holder thereof (other than the acquiror) to purchase shares of
Common stock at a discounted price in a manner designed to result in substantial
dilution to the acquiror.

LIMITED COMPARABILITY TO PREDECESSOR

1. HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION WILL NOT BE COMPARABLE. As a result of
the consummation of the Plan, Alderwoods Group operates the businesses
previously operated by the Loewen Companies under a new capital structure and
has adopted fresh start reporting. Alderwoods Group has also changed its fiscal
year and the length of quarterly periods. In addition, historically the
financial statements of the

40

Predecessor did not consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of
operations of Rose Hills Holding Corp. as do the financial statements of
Alderwoods Group, and in the future the consolidated financial statements of
Alderwoods Group will not reflect the assets, liabilities or results of
operations of properties that, as part of the program to dispose of
non-strategic assets, have been or will be sold or otherwise disposed of.
Furthermore, as a result of the application of fresh start reporting on the
Effective Date, the Company's gross margins on pre-need contracts entered into
after the Effective Date will be significantly higher than gross margins on
similar contracts entered into prior to the Effective Date. Accordingly, the
financial condition and results of operations of Alderwoods Group from and after
the Effective Date will not be comparable to the financial condition or results
of operations reflected in the historical financial statements of the
Predecessor, including the interim consolidated financial statements of the
Predecessor included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OTHER RISK FACTORS

1. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS MAY CHANGE TO THE DETRIMENT OF
ALDERWOODS GROUP. The Company's operations are subject to regulation,
supervision and licensing under numerous federal, state and local laws,
ordinances and regulations, including extensive regulations concerning trust
funds, pre-need sales of funeral and cemetery products and services,
environmental matters and various other aspects of the business. The impact of
such regulations varies depending on the location of funeral homes and
cemeteries. From time to time, states and regulatory agencies have considered
and may enact additional legislation or regulations that could affect the
Company. For example, additional legislation or regulations requiring more
liberal refund and cancellation policies for pre-need sales of products and
services or prohibiting door-to-door or telephone solicitation of potential
customers could adversely impact sales, resulting in lower gross revenues.
Similarly, additional legislation or regulations increasing trust requirements
could reduce the amount of cash available to the Company for other purposes.
Additional legislation or regulations prohibiting the common ownership of
funeral homes and cemeteries in the same market could adversely impact both
sales and costs and expenses in the affected markets. If adopted in the states
in which the Company operates, additional legislation or regulations such as
these could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the
Company.

2. ALDERWOODS GROUP PRINCIPALLY IS A HOLDING COMPANY. Alderwoods Group
principally is a holding company, and therefore its right to participate in any
distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon that subsidiary's dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior
claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that Alderwoods
Group may be a creditor of that subsidiary and its claims are recognized. There
are various legal limitations on the extent to which some of the subsidiaries of
Alderwoods Group may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to,
or engage in transactions with, Alderwoods Group or its other subsidiaries.

3. OUTCOME OF NAFTA CLAIMS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT. In October 1998, the
Predecessor filed claims against the government of the United States
(the "NAFTA Claims") seeking damages under the arbitration provisions of the
North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"). Pursuant to the Plan, the
Predecessor, through a series of transactions, transferred to the Company all of
its assets, excluding legal title to the NAFTA Claims, and transferred to the
Company the right to any and all proceeds from the NAFTA Claims. In addition,
pursuant to the Plan, an undivided 25% interest in the proceeds, if any, of the
NAFTA Claims as such proceeds may be adjusted as a result of the arbitration
contemplated by the letter agreement between the Predecessor and Raymond L.
Loewen, dated May 27, 1999 (the "NAFTA Arbitration Agreement"), less (a) any
amounts payable under paragraph 3 of the NAFTA Arbitration Agreement and
(b) any amounts payable pursuant to the contingency fee letter agreement between
Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue and the Predecessor, dated July 25, 2000, was
transferred to a liquidating trust for the benefit of creditors of the Debtors.
Although the Company believes that these actions should not affect the NAFTA
Claims, the government of the United States, respondent in the NAFTA proceeding,
has asserted that these actions have divested the arbitration panel appointed
pursuant to the rules of the International

41

Centre For Settlement of Investment Disputes of jurisdiction over some or all of
the claims. The Company does not believe that it is possible at this time to
predict the final outcome of this proceeding or to establish a reasonable
estimate of the damages, if any, that may be awarded, or the proceeds, if any,
that may be received in respect of the NAFTA Claims.

4. IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW CEMETERY CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS
ONGOING. Although completed during 2001 for most locations, the Company will
continue to finish its implementation of the new cemetery contract management
system for a few remaining locations during 2002. The new cemetery contract
management system provides for the recording and tracking of individual items
and their respective deferred revenue fair values on cemetery contracts. In the
December 31, 2001 Alderwoods Group consolidated balance sheet, due to certain
locations not yet being established on the new system, deferred revenue was
partially estimated based on a sample from the uncompleted locations. Management
believes this process provided a reasonable basis for such estimate. However, as
the implementation is completed during 2002, adjustments may be required to be
made to the estimated deferred revenue.
