To facilitate a comparison with year-earlier results, Leisureworld also provided comparable results for the 2009 period. The 2010 figures represent the results of Leisureworld Senior Care LP, Leisureworld's predecessor company, for the period from January 1, 2010 until March 22, 2010, combined with the results of the Company for the period following the completion of the IPO.

"We are pleased with our third quarter results, which were in line with management's expectations and represented a payout ratio of 77.2% of Adjusted Funds From Operations," said David Cutler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Leisureworld. "The results reflect the strength of Leisureworld's business model, which is predicated on secure government-funded pay envelopes, coupled with strong occupancy rates and disciplined control of operating and administration expenses. This model supports consistent cash flow generation to fund shareholder dividends."

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2010

In the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, Leisureworld reported income from operations of $8.0 million compared with $9.0 million in the corresponding 2009 period. Net Operating Income (NOI) decreased to $10.5 million from $11.4 million in the comparable quarter last year. The year-over-year decrease in these measures is primarily attributable to the prior year benefit from additional Other Accommodation (OA) funding related to the $1.55 per diem increase being implemented in July 2009 for the period beginning April 1, 2009. The Company also experienced higher operating costs, including those associated with the introduction of HST on July 1, 2010.

Leisureworld generated $4.5 million in Funds From Operations (FFO) during the quarter, compared with $5.5 million in the comparable 2009 period. Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), which the Company believes to be a very meaningful measure of performance, for the third quarter of 2010 were $5.5 million, or $0.275 per share, compared with $6.4 million in the comparable period last year. Dividends declared by Leisureworld in the quarter were $0.2125 per share, representing a payout ratio of 77.2%.

Leisureworld generated total revenue of $68.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared with $68.1 million in the comparable quarter in 2009. The increase primarily reflected higher government funding rates of 2.5%, partly offset by the effect of the $1.55 per diem for OA funding being recognized in the third quarter of the prior year retroactive to April 1, 2009. The Company experienced a net loss of $1.3

million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to a net income of $1.6 million in the comparable period of 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to higher non-cash amortization charges related to the Company's Initial Public Offering.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, income from operations was $22.8 million compared with $23.2 million in the comparable period in 2009. NOI was $31.2 million, up 2.3% from last year. AFFO for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 was $15.6 million compared with $16.0 million in the same period in 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenue remained stable, increasing 1.1% as a result of a 2.8% increase in government funding rates, partially offset by other items including the timing of revenue recognition related to expenditures under the flow through envelopes.

"Management's focus continues to be on enhancing the quality of care and accommodation for our residents," added Mr. Cutler. 'At the same time, we continue to review opportunities to increase cash flow through the renewal of our older facilities and through complementary acquisitions. With our strong concentration of assets in the Greater Toronto Area, we are uniquely positioned to renew our asset base while maintaining consistency of cash flow."
