Box 884 • Newport Beach, Califomia 92661 December 7, 2007 o n ;—i -- Honorable Steven Rosansky, Mayor c 2 Members of the City Council _y City of Newport Beach - I 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92663 w Re: Study Session Agenda of December 11, 2007 - Group Home Ordinance Dear Mayor Rosansky and Members of the City Council: The Central Newport Beach Community Association would like to express their sincere thanks for the time, attention and investment in legal advice your Council has expended on the subject of group homes in Newport Beach. We look forward to a group home ordinance that will give the City the ability to curtail the proliferation of group and sober living homes. Central Newport Beach, the area between the piers, has been adversely impacted by the proliferation of drug and rehabilitation facilities and sober living houses. Your Council has already received and heard extensive written and oral testimony on the subject from Central Newport Beach residents and from other community associations that likewise have been impacted. Rather than reiterating what others have already said, the Central Newport Beach Community Association request that your Council adopt any new ordinances or amendments to existing ones that regulate to the greatest extent of the law, drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities and sober living houses in all their forms. Very truly yours, Louise Fundenberg, President Howard F Ahmanson 3 December 2007 Steve Rosansky Newport Beach City Council 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, California 92663 Dear Steve: Z,07 FTC r , In some ways I remember the old Boy Scout days, though I haven't done much along the same lines since! I see that the building has been reconstructed to be fireproof! I've been seeing in the paper a little about the group home situation on the Peninsula. I do support the state law, because left to the "marketplace of municipalities" to make these decisions, there wouldn't be any group homes at all. However, an acquaintance of mine at Christian Community Development Association, Bob Lupton, has made an interesting suggestion. He proposes that those trying to help people in need think also of community development. How he would handle a rehab home is this: Require everyone in it to come from, or have resided within, the local community before they move into the rehab home. Therefore the rehab home is serving the immediate neighborhood and not a bunch of outsiders. If you were to apply this rule in Newport Beach, anyone who moves into one of these homes has to have resided within one mile radius for at least a year beforehand, or something like that. The whole idea is laid out in a book which I am enclosing. Now, there will still be a market for some rehab homes; Newport Beach is a hard - drinking town! But this idea will greatly change how they impact the community.

That the City commit resources to identify the actual number and location of the residential recovery or sober living residential uses; to confirm the units are acting consistently with existing laws and are licensed, and 2. That the City vigorously pursue regulations and code enforcement to address the adverse impacts of the problems the City has encountered with short-term rentals, boarding houses, unauthorized group residential uses and residential recovery facilities, and 3.

We ask that you eliminate 800 beds added by drug and alcohol rehab businesses over the past three years. Our coastal community had more than its fair share pre - ordinance in 2004 and now we have approximately 1,000 beds in the peninsula neighborhoods. We believe the City will acknowledge that there exists an over - concentration of licensed (by the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs ( "ADP"]) facilities in our beach community. Using an average concentration of all licensed facilities as a ratio to State population, Newport Beach should have no more than 110 beds in our city, which is about one -half of what we had pre - ordinance. The strong sentiment of the WNBA Board (which represents several hundred members) is to craft an ordinance that prohibits any new drug and alcohol rehab business from entering R -1, R -1.5, and R -2 zones in the peninsula coast communities, and eliminates those facilities that began operating in our nerighborhoods post- ordinance 2004 -16. Our previous letter dated July 5, 2007 does not appear to have been given serious consideration. It is our hope the Council will choose to phase out these post- ordinance 2004 -16 drug and alcohol Rehab facilties. We urge the Council to include the following provisions in the 2008 ordinance: 1. UNLICENSED FACILITIES. Notice and abate immediately all unlicensed facilties which should NOT be permitted to operate. There should be no exceptions to this abatement action. 2. INTEGRAL FACILTTIES. The definition of integral facilties needs to include the state definition with further clarification as previously recommended by the Concerned Citizens of Newport Beach ( "CCNB ") to address particular local issues (including issues with meeting and treatment facilities) to prevent continued over - concentration and operators taking advantage of a system badly in need of stricter controls. Mayor Steven Rosansky and City Council Members December 10, 2007 Proposed Ordinance On Group Residential Uses Page Two 3. OVERLAY ZONE. Due to the extreme over - concentration in our area, a remedial plan is necessary to address proper land -use planning given the neighborhood characteristics unique to the Peninsula. For example: • No permitted use in R -1, R -1.5, and R -2. In Multiple - Family Residential zones ( "MFR "), subject to Conditional Use Permit ( "CUP"). • 1000 foot separation between facilities to eliminate institutionalization, minimize impacts. No facilities within 1000 feet of schools and nurseries, parks, and bars. • No over - concentration of group homes in our neighborhoods because of intense density in our neighborhood as well as unique lot characteristics including already - existing stresses and impacts on infrastructure systems. • Overlay zone should be defined to include: West Newport, Balboa Peninsula, Peninsula Point, Lido Isle, Lido Peninsula and Village, Cannery Village, Balboa and other islands, old CDM, and Newport Heights (except the area on the north side of Newport Boulevard closest to Hoag Hospital on the Superior Avenue side). 4. BUSINESS LICENSES. Require all "group home" businesses to obtain a business license. 5. CUP. Require all "group home' businesses of seven and greater (stand alone/ integral) to apply for a CUP within sixty (60) days of the effective date of the 2008 Ordinance. 6. REVIEW PROCESS. Post - effective date of 2008 Ordinance businesses known to be integral should be evaluated first, i.e., a) SLBTS /CRC Health Group; b) Newport Coast Recovery; c) Ocean Recovery; d) Morningside Recovery; e) Kumar; f) Pacific Shores; g) Miramar, h) Kramer, and i) Yellowstone. (There may be other operators which should be added to this list.) 7. COMPLIANCE. Operators in good standing (no ordinance or code violations) undergo CUP first /immediate notice and CUP in 90 days. Encorcement actions to remove any non- comforming use should take place within 180 days from the date the ordinance takes effect or upon expiration of the operator's occupancy lease, whichever first occurs. The West Newport Beach Association believes that unlicensed facilities take advantage of a system badly in need of stricter controls. The WNBA is concerned that unlicensed facilities may house the criminally convicted, may provide illegal treatment, may lack adequate treatment supervision, and may create liability /risk to the community and to the City. In our view, unlicensed facilities should not be a permitted use. Mayor Steven Rosansky and City Council Members December 10, 2007 Proposed Ordinance On Group Residential Uses Page Three The proliferation of group home uses in our coastal communities threatens the very quality of life which makes Newport Beach literally the envy of the world. Please do not ignore this opportuity to establish fair but strict standards of control which will preserve that quality of life for present and future generations of Newport Beach residents.

INFORMATION House Arrest Electronic Monitoring Orange County Courts DUI/DWI Restricted License Court- Mandated There are four aspects of the criminal justice system that shape its philosophy: Retribution, Deterrence, Incapacitation, and Rehabilitation. In this day and age, retribution and incapacitation have become the cry of the innocent and the political platform on which to stand. But do they work? Are they effective? Countless studies have proven that retribution and incapacitation do little if anything at all to deter violent crime and illicit drug use in society. Yet, despite the facts, we as a society continue to focus on incapacitation and retribution. The scales of Lady Justice are unbalanced. Only the right combination of deterrence, rehabilitation, retribution, and incapacitation will balance out the scales of the criminal justice system. For this reason, there is a renewed hope for rehabilitating drug and alcohol offenders confined to jails and prisons throughout America. Today, courts are recognizing the ineffectiveness of incarceration and retribution and leaning more toward Alternative Sentencing Programs in lieu of jail or prison terms. The Orange County Criminal Justice System is keenly aware of incarceration's inability to reform the drug and /or alcohol offender. Orange County's progressive and hopeful attitude toward the success of drug and alcohol rehabilitation makes the Orange County criminal justice system a courageous forerunner of Alternative Sentencing Programs. The Idea Behind Alternative Sentencing Offenders are eligible for Sentencing Services if they are eligible to receive an Intermediate punishment based on their class of offense and prior record level and they face an imminent and substantial threat of imprisonment. Sentencing Services programs develop comprehensive, community -based sentencing plans for eligible offenders. Plans include results of assessments and background investigations, as well as recommendations for the judge to consider such as: • Special probation (split sentence) - short imprisonment or weekends in jail • Probation - regular, intensive or electronic house arrest • Counseling - drug, alcohol, mental health, consumer credit • Volunteer community service • Victim restitution • Employment or vocational training • Education - college, high school or literacy .

With our team of court liaisons and our partnered attorneys, many people have been able to avoid criminal prosecution for drug offenses through alternative sentencing and drug diversion programs. When our clients successfully complete our program, alternative sentencing often leads to complete dismissal of charges. The Alternatives Program is a State - licensed, court and probation - approved program.

There are many good reasons to clear your record including application for employment, applying to schools, and for your own personal peace of mind. Upon successful completion of your program, the Alternatives Program staff can work with the Orange County Courts to have your record expunged. This means that all accusations against you will be dismissed and that you will be released from all court- ordered penalties resulting from the offense. It also means that, after expungement, you can truthfully assert that you have not been convicted of that offense. Often times the arrest it self will be wiped from your record. Similarly, no conviction will show up on your record if a potential employer, government agency (with some exceptions), or educational institution conducts a background search of your public records. In many cases, it is possible to have felony convictions reduced to misdemeanors and then they may be expunged. It is also possible to obtain a certificate of rehabilitation, another way for you to clean your record. All of these options are available to you through the Alternatives Program.

The Diversion program, or commonly referred to as "PC 1000" allows criminal proceedings to be suspended while the defendant participates in a program involving counseling, drug testing, education, or other requirements. If the defendant successfully completes the program, like the Alternatives Program, the criminal charges are dismissed. In addition to these minimum standards, courts are encouraged to look to the nationally accepted guidelines from the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) Defining Drug Courts: The Key Components, which elaborate on drug courts' purpose and performance measurements. The guidelines include the following: • Drug courts integrate alcohol and other drug- treatment services with justice system processing. • Using a non - adversarial approach, prosecution and defense counsel promote public safety while protecting participants' due process rights. • Eligible participants are identified early and promptly placed in the drug court program. • Drug courts provide access to a continuum of alcohol, drug, and other related treatment and rehabilitation services. • Abstinence and use of alcohol and other drugs are monitored by frequent drug testing. At the Alternatives Program, we test every 72 hours. • A coordinated strategy governs drug court responses to participants' compliance. • Ongoing judicial interaction with each drug court participant is essential. • Monitoring and evaluation measure the achievement of program goals and gauge effectiveness. • Effective drug court operations require continuing interdisciplinary education. • Forging partnerships among drug courts, public agencies, and community -based organizations I.e.

Prop 36 P.C. 1000 Expungement Certificate of Rehabilitation Court and Probation 01, 1117 It 1 NFORMNFION House Arrest Electronic Monitoring Orange County Courts DUUDWI Restricted License Court- Mandated Court and Probation There are several possible sentences that may be imposed on convicted drug offenders. At the less severe end of the spectrum, offenders may be court- ordered to pay fines and court costs and then be released. Another possible outcome is for the defendant to be placed on probation. Our staff at the Alternatives Program have a great deal of experience working with clients who are placed on probation and are effective at helping clients meet the terms of their probation. You may ask, "what will happen if I am placed on probation ?" Under normal circumstances, defendants will be required to periodically report to their probation officer who monitors the individual's case and makes sure that individual is remaining crime -free. Clients of the Alternatives Program will get the benefit of having experienced counselors and court liaisons on their side who can provide regular reports to the Probation Department and can assure probation officers and court officials that the client is complying with the court orders. At the end of the probationary period, defendants are usually asked to provide proof that he or she has successfully completed all the terms of their probation. The Alternatives Program, a probation- approved treatment facility, is well- equipped to provide the necessary documentation of program completion and, if necessary, attendance records for court- ordered Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Another common requirement is for probationers to remain abstinent from drugs and alcohol during their period of probation. As a world -class alcohol and drug treatment facility, the Alternatives Program is especially well- suited to help our clients remain clean and sober. However, if our clients need extra incentive to remain clean, the Alternatives Program conducts a policy of scheduled and random drug testing of all our clients. Probation Departments often require documentation of clean drug tests and we are certainly able to provide that as well.

Choosing an Attorney Criminal Defense Drug Court Drug Possession Prop 36 P.C. 1000 Expungement Certificate of Rehabilitation Court and Probation IITIiER House Arrest Electronic Monitoring Orange County Courts DUI /DWI Restricted License Court- Mandated Defending Strike Cases The "Three Strikes" system in California is a sentencing scheme that drastically increases punishment for individuals convicted of repeat offenses. It Is important, if you or someone you love is currently charged with a felony and has prior convictions, that you talk to an experienced attorney about your options and the proper way to defend against a strike case. Under the current system, any person convicted of a felony in California who has already received two or more prior strike convictions will be sentenced to a term of at least 25 years to life in State Prison. Any person convicted of a felony who has one prior strike conviction will be sentenced to a doubled term on the current felony charge. It is important to understand that the current felony does not have to be a violent crime to be counted as the third strike. A strike conviction is a very serious matter and we strongly recommend that you consult an experienced attorney who can provide you with a strong legal defense. When the current felony that an individual is charged with is a drug offense, it is often possible to convince judges and prosecutors to consider drug diversion or other alternative sentencing options. It is always best to attempt such matters with the aid of a qualified legal defense team. Our court liaisons and partnered attorneys have years of experience in the field of criminal defense. If you or someone you love is facing a strike conviction, please call us today. We may be able to help you get your loved one out of jail, and into recovery.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation —The date of the Bain Merger (see Note 3) was February 6, 2006 but for accounting purposes and to coincide with its normal financial closing, the Company has utilized February 1, 2006 as the effective date. As a result, the Company has reported operating results and financial position for all periods presented prior to February 1, 2006 as those of the Predecessor Company ( "Predecessor ") and for all periods from and subsequent to February 1, 2006 as those of the Successor Company ( "Successor") due to the resulting change in the basis of accounting. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ( "GAAP ") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC ") applicable for interim financial information. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRC Health Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, and, for the periods through January 31, 2006, CRC Health Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, its results of operations, and its cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. , Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB ") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159 "). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available- for -sale and held -to- maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and non -cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and may generally be made on an instrument -by- instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter 2008. The Company is currently determining whether fair value is appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. R In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ( "SFAS 15T). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute; however SFAS 157 does not apply to SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share -Based Payment ( "SFAS 123(8) "). SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is required to be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements. The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48 ") on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income taxx law recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. See Note 7 for additional information, including the effects of adoption on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. 3. ACQUISITIONS 2007Acquisitions In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company completed four acquisitions and paid total cash consideration of approximately $32.7 million, including acquisition related expenses. The acquisitions are intended to provide expansion of its residential and youth services into new geographic regions in the United States. The Company recorded $23.5 million of goodwill, of which $22.4 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill assigned to the Residential and Youth treatment segments was $21.9 million and $ Lb million, respectively. The acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Under purchase accounting the purchase price for each acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. The purchase price was allocated using the information currently available. As a result, the Company may adjust the allocation of the purchase consideration as we obtain more information regarding the asset valuations, liabilities assumed and purchase price adjustments. The Company has included the acquired entities' results of operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of the acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisitions was not material. Prior Period Acquisitions In connection with an acquisition which closed in October 2005, the Company is obligated to make certain additional payments of up to $2.0 million upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. As of September 30, 2007, the entity has achieved the second year performance milestones and as a result the Company recorded additional goodwill and a liability of $2.0 million. Payment was made by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2007. Certain acquisition agreements acquired in the Aspen Acquisition (as defined below) contain contingent earnout provisions that provide for additional consideration to be paid to the sellers if the results of the acquired entity's operations exceed negotiated benchmarks. As of September 30, 2007, four of the entities exceeded the benchmarks, the Youth treatment segment recorded additional goodwill and a liability of $4.5 million of which $1.9 million was incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The additional consideration consists of a combination of cash and notes payable issued to the seller. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid $1.8 million under the contingent eamout arrangements and expects the remaining cash payments to be made in the first quarter of 2008. Aspen AequisWon— In November 2006, the Company acquired substantially all the outstanding capital stock of Aspen Education Group, Inc., a California corporation ( "Aspen Education Group"), which is referred to as the Aspen Acquisition, for approximately $272.6 million in cash purchase price consideration, the assumption of approximately $20.6 million of indebtedness as defined per the merger agreement (includes the buy -out of minority interest of $4.2 million), and the payment of costs associated with the acquisition and the related financing of approximately $1.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively. Aspen Education Group provides educational services to youth who have demonstrated behavioral issues that have interfered with their performance in school and life. Aspen Education Group offers its programs through its residential division (boarding schools), outdoor division (outdoor education programs) and healthy living division (weight management programs for children and teenagers). Among other benefits, the Aspen Acquisition offers multiple revenue and cost synergies. The Aspen Acquisition further enhances the Company's private pay mix and business diversification, thereby reducing business risk from any one aspect of the Company's operations. In addition, the Company is expected to benefit from increased cross - referral opportunities. 7 The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase consideration was allocated to the assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. The consideration remaining was allocated to the Company's intangible assets with finite lives and is being amortized over that life, as well as to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives, which will be evaluated on at least an annual basis to determine impairment and adjusted accordingly. Bain Merger —On February 6, 2006, investment funds managed by Bain Capital Partners, LLC ( "Bain Capital ") acquired CRC Health Group for a total cash consideration of approximately $742.3 million (including acquisition and financing transactions related fees and expenses of $28.5 million). As a result of the acquisition, Bain Capital received control of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase consideration was allocated to the assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. The consideration remaining was allocated to the Company's intangible assets with finite lives and is being amortized over that life, as well as to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives, which will be evaluated on at least an annual basis to determine impairment and adjusted accordingly. 4.

INCOME TAXES The Company determines income tax expense for interim periods by applying the use of the full year's estimated effective tax rate in financial statements for interim periods. The estimated effective annual income tax rate is 40.2 %. The income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.5 million and $3.4 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 229% and 30.3 %, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the three and nine month periods were positively affected by the release of $1.1 million of tax reserve under FIN 48 during the third quarter as further discussed below. The income tax expense for the three and eight months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.7 million and $3.7 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 62.8% and 53.7 %, respectively. The income tax benefit for the one month ended January 31, 2006 was $12.4 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 24.2 %. The tax benefit for the one month ended January 31, 2006 was primarily the result of $31.9 million of acquisition - related expenses that are deductible for tax purposes. The effective tax rate for the three and eight months ended September 30, 2006 includes a benefit of $0.1 million due to a reversal of net deferred tax liabilities resulting from the adoption of a new Texas state law. During the second quarter of 2007 a study of the deductibility of transaction costs incurred in connection with the Aspen Acquisition was completed. As a result of the study the Company revised its previous estimate of the amount of acquisition related expenses that are expected to be tax deductible by $1.8 million. This resulted in an increase in 2006 net operating losses ( "NOL's ") which can be carried back to offset income in prior years. An income tax receivable of $0.7 million and a corresponding decrease in goodwill associated with Aspen Acquisition was recorded in the second quarter to reflect changes in the previously estimated deductible transaction costs. During the third quarter, the Company recorded an income tax receivable of $3.3 million with an offset to goodwill based on the tax return filed associated with the preacquisition earnings of Aspen. During the third quarter of 2007 a separate study of the deductibility of transaction costs incurred in connection with the Bain Merger was completed. As a result of the study the Company revised its previous estimate of the amount of acquisition related expenses that are expected to be tax deductible by $15.8 million, which correspondingly increased the NOL's for 2006. The Company carried back $6.0 million of the 2006 increase in NOL's to offset income in the prior years and recorded an income tax receivable of $1.7 million. In addition, $9.8 million of NOL's were carried forward to future years. A deferred tax asset of $4.1 million was recognized to reflect the expected benefit of those carryforwards. The Company reduced goodwill associated with Bain Merger in the amount of $5.8 million during the third quarter to reflect the changes to previously estimated tax amounts recorded in purchase Accounting. Adoption of New Accounting Policy The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January I, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was a decrease in tax reserves of $1.5 million and an increase of $2.2 million to the January 1, 2007 retained earnings balance. Upon adoption, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions at January 1, 2007 was $2.1 million. This liability can be reduced by $0.2 million of offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of potential state income taxes and other timing adjustments. The net amount of $1.9 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate. In addition, consistent with the provisions of FIN 48, the Company reclassified $0.7 million of income tax liabilities from current to non- cuttent liabilities because payment of cash is not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date. These non - current income tax liabilities are recorded in other liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. 10 The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax audits by taxing authorities for years through 2003.

SEGMENT INFORMATION Pursuant to SFAS No. 131, for periods through September 30, 2007, the Company has reported in three segments: (1) residential treatment division ( "Residential "), (2) outpatient treatment division ("Outpatient ") and (3) youth treatment division ( "Youth"). The Company began reporting for Youth as a result of the Aspen Acquisition. Based on a realignment of the Company's operations and internal organizational structure, The Company is currently reviewing its reportable segments for periods after September 30, 2007. Reportable segments are based upon the Company's internal organizational structure, the manner in which the operations are managed, the criteria used by the Company's chief operating decision -maker to evaluate segment performance and the availability of separate financial information. The Company's chief operating decision -maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The financial information used by the Company's chief operating decision -maker includes net revenue, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations and capital expenditures. Residential —The Residential segment provides chemical dependency and other behavioral health disorders treatment services both on an inpatient, residential basis and on an outpatient basis. Services offered in this segment include: inpatient/residential care, partial/day treatment, intensive outpatient groups, therapeutic living/half -way house environments, aftercare centers and detoxification. As of September 30, 2007, the Residential segment provided services to patients at 46 facilities located in 12 states. Outpatient —The Outpatient segment provides substance abuse treatment services on an outpatient basis. Substantially all of the services are provided to individuals addicted to heroin and other opiates, including prescription painkillers. Services include medication assisted treatment, counseling and physical examination. As of September 30, 2007, 46 of our 61 clinics were certified to provide at least one additional comprehensive outpatient substance abuse treatment service. Such additional services include outpatient detoxification and intensive outpatient services for individuals addicted to drugs or alcohol. As of September 30, 2007, the Outpatient segment provided services to patients at 61 facilities located in 18 states. Xouth —The Youth segment provides a wide variety of therapeutic and educational programs through settings and solutions that match individual needs with the appropriate learning and therapeutic environment. Its programs am-offered in therapeutic boarding schools, experiential outdoor education programs, weight -loss residential schools and summer weight -loss camps. As of September 30, 2007, the Youth segment operated 38 educational and therapeutic facilities in 13 states and one in the United Kingdom. Corporate/Other —In addition to the three reportable segments as described above, the Company has activities classified as Corporate/Other which represent revenue and expenses associated with eGetgoing, an online treatment service and certain corporate -level operating general and administrative costs (i.e., expenses associated with the corporate offices in Cupertino, California, which provides management, financial, human resources and information system support) and stock option -based compensation expense that are not allocated to the segments. Major Customers No single customer represented 10% or more of the Company's total net revenue in any period presented. Geographlc Information —The Company's business operations are primarily in the United States. 27 Selected segment financial information for the Company's reportable segments was as follows (in thousands): Successor Predecessor Three Nine Three Eight One Months Months Months Months Month Ended Ended Ended Ended Ended September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, January 31, 2007 2007 2006 2006 2006 Net revenue: Residential $ 50,069 $ 146,184 $ 42,315 $ 106,130 $ 12,693 Outpatient 26,034 76,466 23,136 59,803 7,125 Youth 46,173 123,106 - - - Corporate /other 93 336 49 301 32 Total consolidated net revenue $ 122,369 $ 346,092 $ 65,500 $ 166,234 $ 19,850 Operating expenses: Residential $ 36,510 $ 107,086 $ 30,912 $ 77,902 $ 9,112 Outpatient 17,967 52,400 15,738 40,223 4,447 Youth 39,490 112,071 - - - Corporate /other 5,466 17,625 4,941 13,091 44,623 Total consolidated operating expenses $ 99,433 $ 289,182 $ 51,591 $ 131,216 $ 58,182 Income (loss) from operations: Residential $ 13,559 $ 39,098 $ 11,403 $ 28,228 $ 3,581 Outpatient 8,067 24,066 7,398 19,580 2,678 Youth 6,683 11,035 - - - Corporate/other (5,373) (17,289) (4,892) (12,790) 44,591 Total consolidated income (loss) from operations $ 22,936 $ 56,910 $ 13,909 $ 35,018 $ (38,332) Income (loss) from operations before income taxes: Total consolidated income (loss) from operations $ 22,936 $ 56,910 $ 13,909 $ 35,018 $ (38,332) Interest expense, net (15,169) (44,971) (11,184) (28,099) (2,505) Other financing costs - - - - (10,655) Other income (1,217) (800) (1,544 (34) 55 Total consolidated income (loss) from operations before income taxes $ 6,550 $ 11,139 $ 1,181 $ 6,885 $ (51,437 Capital expenditures: Residential $ 5,930 $ 14,606 $ 1,509 $ 4,876 $ 336 Outpatient 883 1,581 471 1,395 45 Youth 1,879 5,805 - - - Corporate /other Total consolidated capital expenditures Total assets: Residential Outpatient Youth Corporate/other Total consolidated assets 579 2,247 202 1,069 30 $ 9,271 $ 24,239 $ 2,182 $ 7,340 $ 411 28 September 30, December 31, 2007 20% $ 587,971 327,425 360,344 50,077 $ 1,325,817 $ 545,110 331,491 361,319 50,868 $ 1,288,788 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Unless the context otherwise requires, in this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms "our company, " "we, " "us, " "the Company" and "our" refer (i) for periods prior to the consummation of the Transactions, to CRC Health Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) for periods following the consummation of the Transactions, to CRC Health Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries following the mergers described below under "The Transactions. " O VA—Du We are a leading provider of substance abuse treatment services and youth treatment services in the United States. We also provide treatment services for other addiction diseases and behavioral disorders such as eating disorders. We deliver our substance abuse and behavioral disorder treatment services through our residential and outpatient treatment programs, which we refer to as our residential and outpatient treatment divisions. We deliver our youth treatment services through our residential schools, wilderness programs and weight loss programs, which we refer to as our youth treatment division or Aspen Education Group. We have three reporting segments: residential treatment division ( "Residential"), outpatient treatment division ( "Outpatient") and youth treatment division ( "Youth"). Our residential treatment division, which currently operates 31 inpatient and 15 outpatient facilities in 12 states, treats patients for addiction to alcohol and drugs and other behavioral health disorders..As of September 30, 2007, our residential treatment division treated approximately 1,475 patients per day. Our outpatient treatment division, which currently operates 61 outpatient treatment clinics in 18 states, provides services to individuals addicted to opiates, including heroin and prescription painkillers. As of September 30, 2007, our outpatient treatment programs treated approximately 25,200 patients per day. Aspen Education Group currently operates 38 education facilities in 13 states and one facility in the United Kingdom and enrolled approximately 4,300 new students during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Activities classified as "Corporate %thee" represent revenue and expenses associated with eGetgoing, an online treatment service, and general and administrative expenses (i.e., expenses associated with our corporate offices in Cupertino, California, which provides management, financial, human resource and information system support) and stock option -based compensation expense that are not allocated to the segments. The Transactions On February 6, 2006, investment funds managed by Bain Capital Partners, LLC ( "Bain Capital ") acquired CRC Health Group, Inc. for a total cash consideration of approximately $742.3 million (including acquisition and financing transactions related fees and expenses of $28.5 million). As a result of the acquisition, Bain Capital received control of the Company. We refer to our acquisition by Bain Capital and the related financings as the "Transactions." Basis of Presentation As a result of the Transactions on February 6, 2006, a new basis of accounting has begun. However, for accounting purposes and to coincide with our normal financial closing dates, we have utilized February 1, 2006 as the effective date of the Transactions. For the purpose of presenting a comparison of our 2007 operating results to 2006, we have presented the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as the mathematical addition of our operating results for the one month ended January 31, 2006 ( "Predecessor Company ") to the operating results for the eight months ended September 30, 2006 ( "Successor Company "). This approach is not consistent with GAAP and may yield results that are not strictly comparable on a period -to- period basis primarily due to the impact of purchase accounting entries recorded as a result of the Transactions. For purposes of this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, however, management believes that it is the most meaningful way to present our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Acquisitions 2007 Acquisitions In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we completed four acquisitions and paid approximately $32.7 million in cash, including acquisition related expenses. The acquisitions are intended to expand our range of residential and youth treatment services into new geographic regions in the United States. These acquisitions are not expected to materially impact our results of operations. 29 2006 Acquisitions In November 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Aspen Education Group for approximately $278.5 million in total purchase consideration, including acquisition related expenses of $1.6 million. We refer to this acquisition as the Aspen Acquisition. We believe Aspen Education Group is the largest for -profit provider of therapeutic educational programs to troubled youth and its offerings include boarding schools, experiential outdoor education programs, weight loss residential high schools and summer weight loss camps. The Aspen Acquisition is intended to diversify our business into other service offerings and geographic regions. This acquisition will further enhance our overall self payor mix revenue and offers multiple revenue and cost synergies. A new reportable segment Youth has been formed after the Aspen Acquisition. In 2006, in addition, to the Aspen Acquisition, we completed five other acquisitions for which we paid approximately $36.6 million in cash, including acquisition related expenses. These acquisitions are intended to expand our range of treatment programs into new geographic regions in the United States. In addition, they contribute to the continued building of a nationwide network of specialized behavioral care services. SUMMARY We generate revenue by providing substance abuse treatment services and youth treatment services in the United States. We also generate revenue by providing treatment services for other specialized behavioral disorders. Revenue is recognized when rehabilitation and treatment services are provided to a patient. Client service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from clients, third -party payors and others for services rendered. Revenue under third -party payor agreements is subject to audit and retroactive adjustment. Provisions for estimated third -party payor settlements are provided for in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Revenue for educational services provided to youth consists primarily of tuition, enrollment fees, alumni services and ancillary charges. Tuition revenue and ancillary charges are recognized based on contracted monthly /daily rates as services are rendered. The enrollment fees for service contracts that are charged upfront are deferred and recognized over the average student length of stay, approximately eleven months. Alumni fees revenue represents non - refundable upfront fees for post graduation services and these fees are deferred and recognized systematically over the contracted life, which is twelve months. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we generated 85.7% and 86.1% of our net revenue from non- governmental sources, including 71.2% each period from self payors and 14.5% and 14.9% from commercial payors, respectively. Substantially all of our government program net revenue was received from multiple counties and states under Medicaid and similar programs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, our consolidated same - facility net revenue increased by 6.1 % each period as compared to the same periods in 2006. "Same - facility" refers to the comparison of each facility owned during 2006 with the results for the comparable period in 2007. Our operating expenses include salaries and benefits, supplies, facilities and other operating costs, provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization and acquisition related costs. Operating expenses for our residential, outpatient and youth treatment divisions exclude corporate level general and administrative costs (i.e., expenses associated with our corporate offices in Cupertino, California, which provide management, financial, human resources and information systems support), stock option -based compensation expense and expenses associated with eGetgoing. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ( "GAAF). We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our senior management has reviewed our critical accounting policies and their application in the preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures and discussed the development, selection and disclosure of significant estimates. To the extent that actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected. Management believes that there have not been any significant changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to the items that we have previously reported in our critical accounting policies in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006. kill RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( "FASB ") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115 ( "SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available- for -sale and held -to- maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and non -cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and may generally be made on an instrument -by- instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are required to adopt SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ( "SFAS 157 "). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute; however SFAS 157 does not apply to SFAS 123(8). SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are required to adopt SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ( "FIN 48 ") on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information, including the effects of adoption on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of balance sheet. 31 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following tables illustrate our results of operations by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in thousands, except for percentages; percentages are calculated as percentage of total net revenue). Each period has a different basis of accounting and, as a result, they are not comparable. For the purpose of presenting a comparison of our 2007 results to 2006, we have presented the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as the mathematical addition of our operating results for the one month ended January 31, 2006 to the operating results of the eight months ended September 30, 2006. This approach is not consistent with U.S. GAAP and may yield results that are not strictly comparable on a period -to- period basis primarily due to the impact of purchase accounting entries recorded as a result of the Transactions. For purposes of this management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, however, management believes that it is the most meaningful way to present our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Of the $56.9 million increase, the youth treatment division contributed $46.2 million and the remaining net revenue growth was driven by net revenue increases of $7.8 million, or 18.5 %, and $2.9 million, or 12.5 %, in our residential and outpatient treatment divisions, respectively. Of the $7.8 million and $2.9 million net revenue increases in the residential and outpatient treatment divisions, respectively, $4.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, was contributed by the 2006 and 2007 acquisitions that were not included in results of operations for the third quarter of 2006. In addition, same - facility revenue growth in residential and outpatient treatment divisions of $2.8 million, or 6.9%, and $1.0 million, or 4.5 %, respectively, and start-up facilities revenue increases in residential and outpatient treatment divisions of $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, contributed to the net revenue growth. Our same- facility residential growth was driven in part by a 5.5% increase in patient census and a 1.4% increase in revenue per patient day. Our same - facility outpatient growth was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of patients receiving treatment at our outpatient treatment clinics. On a same - facility basis, outpatient treatment clinic census increased 2.9% from an average daily census of 21,877 in the second quarter of 2006 to an average daily census of 22,516 in the third quarter of 2007. Consolidated operating expenses increased $47.8 million, or 92.7 %, to $99.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from $51.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Of the $47.8 million increase in operating expenses, the youth treatment division incurred $39.5 million in expenses that are mainly attributable to salaries and wages and other general operating expenses. The increases in our residential treatment and outpatient treatment division operating expenses before divisional administration expenses were $6.8 million, or 23.8 %, and $2.3 million, or 17.3 %, respectively. The increase in residential treatment operating expenses was mainly attributable to $3.3 million in expenses related to the 2006 and 2007 acquisitions and partially attributable to a $3.1 million, or 11.5 %, same - facility increase in operating expenses. The increase in outpatient treatment operating expenses of $1.0 million, or 7.8 %, was attributable . to same - facilities, $0.8 million, or 67.7 %, was attributable to start-up facilities and $0.5 million in expenses related to the 2006 acquisitions. Division administration expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 46.1 %, in our residential treatment division and decreased $0.08 million, or 3.4 %, in our outpatient treatment division. Corporate/other expenses increased $0.5 million, or 10.6 %, and expressed as a percentage of consolidated net revenue, corporate/other expenses decreased to 4.5% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 7.5% in the same period in 2006. Our consolidated operating margin declined to 18.7% in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to 21.2% in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 due primarily to lower operating margins associated with the Aspen acquisition. On a same - facility basis, our consolidated operating margin decreased to 35.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, as compared to 38.1% in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The decline in our same- facility operating margins was impacted by a one -time reclassification of incentive compensation expense recorded in the third quarter of 2006. This reclassification did not impact the operating margins of CRC or our individual segments for any period reported. Excluding the impact of the one -time reclassification of incentive compensation expense recorded in the third quarter of 2006, our same - facility operating margins were 36.9 %. Increases in labor costs and other expenses in the third quarter of 2007 resulted in a decline in same - facility operation margins of 1.4% from the same period in 2006. Our consolidated net income as a percentage of consolidated net revenue increased to 3.8% in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to 0.7% in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increase in the net income percentage in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to a reduction in interest expense as a percentage of consolidated net revenue. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Consolidated net revenue increased $160.0 million, or 86.0 %, to $346.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $186.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Of the $160.0 million increase, the youth treatment division contributed $123.1 million and the remaining net revenue growth was driven by net revenue increases of $27.4 million, or 23.1 %, and $9.5 million, or 14.3 %, in our residential and outpatient treatment divisions, respectively. Of the $27.4 million and $9.5 million net revenue increases in the residential and outpatient treatment divisions, respectively, $16.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively was contributed by the 2006 and 2007 acquisitions that were not included in results of operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. In addition, same - facility revenue increases in residential and outpatient treatment divisions of $8.0 million, or 6.8 %, and $3.1 million, or 4.9 %, respectively, and start-up facilities revenue increases in residential and outpatient treatment divisions of $2.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, contributed to the net revenue growth. Our same - facility residential growth was driven in part by a 4.5% increase in patient census and a 2.2% increase in revenue per patient day. Our same - facility outpatient growth was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of patients receiving treatment at our outpatient treatment clinics. On a same - facility basis, outpatient treatment clinic census increased 3.3% from an average daily census of 21,438 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to an average daily census of 22,151 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Consolidated operating expenses increased $99.8 million, or 52.7 0/0, to $289.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $189.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increases in our residential treatment and outpatient treatment division operating expenses before divisional administration expenses were $19.2 million, or 23.5 %, and $7.3 million, or 19.0 %, respectively. The increase in residential treatment operating expenses was mainly 33 Table of Contents attributable to $12.6 million in expenses related to the 2006 and 2007 acquisitions and partially attributable to a $5.5 million, or 6.9 %, same - facility increase in operating expenses. The increase in outpatient treatment operating expenses of $2.8 million, or 7.8 %, was attributable to same- facilities, $2.2 million in expenses related to the 2006 acquisitions and $2.4 million, or 76.6 %, was attributable to start-up facilities. Division administration expenses increased $0.9 million, or 16.5 %, in our residential treatment division and increased $0.4 million, or 6.9%, in our outpatient treatment division. The youth treatment operating expenses of $112.1 million are attributable mainly to salaries and wages and other general operating expenses. Corporate/other expenses decreased $40.1 million, or 69.5 %, and expressed as a percentage of consolidated net revenue, corporate/other expenses decreased to 5.1% in the nine months ended eptember 30, 2007 compared to 31.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The corporate /other expenses in 2006 was primarily attributable to non - recurring expenses of $43.7 million related to the Transactions and the corporate /other expenses in 2007 was not impacted by such non - recurring expenses. Our consolidated operating margin was 16.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to (1.8) % in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Non - recurring expenses of $43.7 million related to the Transactions impacted the nine months ended September 30, 2006 operating margin. The nine months ended September 30, 2007 operating margin was not impacted by such non - recurring expenses but was partially impacted by lower operating margins associated with the Aspen Acquisition. On a same - facility basis, our consolidated operating margin increased to 36.3% in the nine months ended September 30 2007, as compared to 36.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our consolidated net income as a percentage of consolidated net revenue was 2.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to (19.2)% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The nine months ended September 30, 2006 net income percentage was mainly due to the operating margin decline as described above. The net income percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was not impacted by non - recurring expenses related to the Transactions. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our principal sources of liquidity for operating activities are payments from self pay patients, commercial payoffs and government programs for treatment services. We receive most of our cash from self payors in advance or upon completion of treatment. Cash payment from commercial payors and government programs is typically received upon the collection of accounts receivable, which are generated upon delivery of treatment services. Working Capital Working capital is defined as total current assets, including cash, less total current liabilities, including the current portion of long -tern debt. We had negative working capital of $46.7 million at September 30, 2007 and $18.7 million at December 31, 2006, respectively. The decrease in working capital of $28.0 million from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase in Revolving Line of Credit of $41.9 mill ion to fund acquisitions and make interest payments partially offset by an increase in income tax receivable, a decrease in accrued liabilities, and other changes in working capital accounts. Sources and Uses of Cash Nine Months Ended Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities Net cash used in investing activities Net cash provided by financing activities Net (decrease) increase in cash September 30, 2007 2006 (In thousands) $ 18,119 $ (5,182) (56,795) (473,224) 37,582 474,922 $ 1,094 $ (3,484) Cash provided by operating activities was $18.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to cash used in operating activities of $5.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to the net loss in the January 2006 Predecessor Company statement of operations resulting from the payment of non - recurring acquisition related expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions. 34 Cash used in investing activities was $56.8 million in the nine months ended September 30 2007, compared to $473.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was due primarily to acquisitions and payments to former shareholders in connection with the Bain transactions, partially offset by lower capital expenditures in 2006 compared to 2007. Cash provided by financing activities was $37.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $474.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cash provided from financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was due primarily to an equity contribution of $294.5 million from investment funds managed by Bain Capital and the increase in net issuances of long -term debt of $186.8 million, partially offset part by the payment of $28.8 million for debt financing and transaction costs. Financing and Liquidity We intend to fund our ongoing operations through cash generated by operations, funds available under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility and existing cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2007, our senior secured credit facility is comprised of a $415.1 million senior secured term loan facility and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2007, we had $45.5 million of principal balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the revolving credit facility had approximately $5.6 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding at September 30, 2007. As part of the Transactions, we issued $ 200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes. We anticipate that cash generated by current operations, the remaining funds available under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility and existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, service our debt and finance capital expenditures over the next 12 months. In addition, we may expand existing residential treatment and outpatient treatment facilities and build or acquire new facilities. Management continually assesses our capital needs and may seek additional financing, if necessary, including debt or equity, to fund potential acquisitions or for other corporate purposes. In negotiating such financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on terms satisfactory to us. Failure to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms could have a negative effect on our plans to acquire additional residential treatment facilities, outpatient treatment clinics and youth treatment facilities. We expect to spend an approximately $5.0 to $8.0 million for maintenance related expenditures and an additional $20.0 to $30.0 million over the next 12 months for expansion projects, systems upgrades and other related initiatives. At September 30, 2007, we have borrowed $45.5 million under the revolving credit facility and have classified this on our Balance Sheets as Current portion of long -term debt. We have historically and currently intend to make payments to reduce borrowing under the revolver from operating cash flow. In addition, we expect that future financings will serve not only to partially fund acquisitions but also to repay all or part of any outstanding revolver balances then outstanding. Under the terms of our borrowing arrangements, we are required to comply with various covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2007, we are in material compliance with all such covenants. Please reference Part II, Item 5 of this document for further discussion. Effective April 16, 2007, we entered into an amendment to our amended and restated credit agreement dated November 17, 2006. Per the amendment, the term loan interest is payable quarterly at 90 day LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum; provided that on and after such time our corporate rating from Moody's is at least B 1 then the interest is payable quarterly at 90 day LIBOR plus 2.0% per annum. Funding Commitments In connection with an acquisition which closed in October 2005, we are obligated to make certain additional payments in the amount of up to $2.0 million upon the achievement of certain performance milestones for the second year period ending October 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the entity has achieved the second year performance milestones and as a result we recorded additional goodwill and a liability of $2.0 million, respectively. These additional payments earned will be paid by us in the fourth quarter of 2007. Certain agreements acquired in the Aspen Acquisition contain contingent earnout provisions that provide for additional consideration to be paid to the sellers if the results of the entity's operations exceed negotiated benchmarks. As a result of two of the entities exceeding the benchmark, the Youth treatment division recorded additional liability of $4.4 million, of which $ l.9 million was incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The additional consideration consists of a combination of cash and notes payable issued to the seller. 35 Table of Contents Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk" in Item 7A of Part II, of our Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2006. Item 4T. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15d -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a -15(f) and 15d -15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision - making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. RR PART U. OTHER INFORMATION Item IA.
