ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (ASLC) received a Notice of Default, dated June
24, 2003, from BNY Midwest Trust Company, the Trustee under the Indentures,
dated January 1, 2002 (the "Indentures") indicating that the Company failed to
comply with a nonpayment covenant under the Indentures pursuant to Sections
10.01(b) and 11.02(b), respectively, of the Senior Indenture and Junior
Indenture. These covenants require the Company to deliver an annual opinion
stating that all filings, recordings or other actions that are necessary to
maintain the Liens under the Collateral Documents (as defined in the Indenture)
have been done, or that no such action is required.

Pursuant to the Notice of Default and Indentures, the Company will have 60 days
from the date of the Notice to cure the noncompliance. No Event of Default under
the Indentures (as defined therein) has occurred. The Company is in the process
of obtaining the required annual opinions and expects to cure the noncompliance
on a timely basis.

The Indentures pertain to the 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 (the "Senior
Notes") and the Junior Secured Notes due 2012 (the "Junior Notes").

The Company has been informed that the Trustee will also be sending a Notice,
dated June 25, 2003, to the Note Holders of the Senior Notes and Junior Notes
informing them that the Company did not receive prior notices sent by the
Trustee and that an Event of Default for failure to comply with the annual
opinion requirement has not occurred. These prior notices were not properly sent
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The new Notice to the Note
Holders is being sent to correct the earlier notice sent by the Trustee to the
Note Holders.

The Company has issued a press release relating to these events, a copy of which
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.

Certain statements contained in this press release and statements made by or on
behalf of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. relating hereto, including, without

Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly
release any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to
