UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are based on the historical financial statements of CRC Health Corporation (the “Company”), Aspen Education Group, Inc. (“Aspen”) and Sierra Tucson, LLC (“Sierra Tucson) acquisitions after giving effect to the following transactions:

Pro forma combined condensed balance sheet and statements of operations include acquisition of Aspen:

the Company’s acquisition of Aspen on November 17, 2006 for approximately $279.9 million in purchase consideration, the assumption of approximately $23.0 million of Aspen’s debt obligations as defined per the merger agreement, the repayment of net $28.7 million of the Company’s borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility at the closing of the Aspen acquisition and the payment of costs associated with the acquisition and related financing of approximately $11.4 million. The acquisition of Aspen and associated transactions and expenses were financed by:

 

  ¡   the issuance of an additional $175.5 million of senior secured term loan (by amending and restating the Company’s existing $243.8 million senior secured term loan facility);

 

  ¡   a capital contribution of $103.9 million from the Company’s direct parent company, CRC Health Group, Inc. (the “Group”) treated as equity (“Group Contributed Equity”). The Group funded such capital contribution through issuance of a payment in kind (“PIK”) loan of $105 million issued at 1% original issue discount for net proceeds of $103.9 million (see note (a) to unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet); and

 

  ¡   an additional capital contribution (“New Equity Investment”) of $39.9 million from the sale of Group’s equity securities to certain of the Group’s existing equity holders.

Pro forma combined condensed statements of operations reflect the following significant transactions:

 

    the Purchase of the Company on February 6, 2006 by investment funds managed by Bain Capital, LLC (“Bain Capital”) for approximately $740.8 million in cash, the repayment of the Company’s then outstanding debt, including $4.5 million of borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit and $254.0 million principal amount of term loans and subordinated debt and the payment of costs associated with the acquisition of the Company and related financing of approximately $27.0 million. The acquisition of the Company and associated transactions and expenses were financed by:

 

  ¡   entering into a new senior secured credit facility, consisting of:

 

    a senior secured term loan of $245.0 million; and

 

    a revolving credit facility of $100.0 million; and

 

  ¡   the issuance of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes, less approximately $3.0 million of original issue discount; and

 

    the acquisition of Sierra Tucson in May 2005 for approximately $132.1 million in cash, including acquisition related expenses. The acquisition of Sierra Tucson was financed by:

 

  ¡   the refinancing of $75.7 million of outstanding term loans (the “Original Term Loans”) and promissory notes; and

 

  ¡   the issuance of a senior secured credit facility of $205.0 million (the “Restated Term Loan”) with a six-year maturity.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 is presented giving effect to the Aspen acquisition and related financing as if they had occurred on September 30, 2006.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are presented giving effect to the Aspen acquisition and related financing, the purchase of the Company in February 2006 and related financing and the acquisition of Sierra Tucson and related financing as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005. The

combined historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the Company’s nine months ended September 30, 2006 represents the mathematical addition of the Company’s operating results for the one month ended January 31, 2006 (Predecessor) to the Company’s operating results of the eight months ended September 30, 2006 (Successor).

The acquisition of Aspen in November 2006 has been accounted for as purchases in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No, 141, Business Combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase consideration of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The consideration remaining is then allocated to identifiable intangibles with a finite life and amortized over that life, as well as to goodwill and identifiable intangibles with an indefinite life, which will have to be evaluated prospectively on an annual basis to determine impairment and adjusted accordingly. The fair value of property and equipment and intangibles was based upon appraisals performed by independent valuation specialists and other relevant information.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are based on the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to these statements that management believes are reasonable. However, because these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values attributable to the acquisition of Aspen, the actual amounts recorded for the acquisition of Aspen may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements. The allocations related to acquisition of Aspen are subject to change pending a final analysis of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as the impact of cost synergies, which could result in material changes from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements is for information purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results of operations would have been if these transactions had been completed as of the dates indicated above or that may be achieved in the future. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes certain nonrecurring charges of $41.3 million, net of tax benefit of $13.1 million that were incurred in connection with the purchase of the Company (see note (b) to unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations). The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 excludes certain nonrecurring charges that will be incurred by Aspen in connection with the Aspen Acquisition: (i) stock option compensation expenses of $9.5 million, recognized upon settlement of options and (ii) various tax deductible transaction fees of $5.2 million. The tax effect of these nonrecurring items at Aspen’s historical effective tax rate of 41.6% is $6.1 million. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 filed on November 14, 2006, as well as Aspen’s historical consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed as an Exhibit 99.4 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on October 30, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included as an Exhibit 99.1 in this current report on Form 8-K/A.

Total uses of funds

   $ 322,698
      

(i)     In connection with the acquisition of Aspen, CRC Health Group, Inc. (the “Group”), the holding company of CRC Health Corporation (“CRC”), borrowed a $105 million payment in kind (“PIK”) loan issued at a 1% original issue discount, resulting in net proceeds of $103.9 million. This amount was contributed and recorded as equity in CRC pro-forma balance sheet. The interest payable per annum applicable to this PIK loan is 90 day LIBOR plus 7.0% for the first year, 90 day LIBOR plus 7.50% for the second year and 90 day LIBOR plus 8.0% for the years thereafter until the maturity date. Under the PIK loan agreement, the scheduled interest is accrued through an increase in the principal amount. The aggregate principal amount and the accrued interest matures on November 17, 2013.

(ii)    Represents the gross proceeds ($175.5 million) from the issuance of incremental borrowings under the Term Loan. The entire Term Loan add-on was drawn with scheduled amortization payments in annual amounts equal to 1% of the original amount drawn and the remaining principal balance on February 6, 2013. As a result $1.8 million is classified as current and the remaining $173.7 million is classified as long-term.

(iii)  The merger agreement contains provisions requiring that Aspen has working capital (as defined in the merger agreement) of at least $(24.5) million upon the closing of the Transaction. Based on our calculation as of September 30, 2006, working capital (as defined in the merger agreement) was $(21.2) million, resulting in additional purchase price of $3.3 million, which was funded by using the Company’s revolving credit facility.

(iv)   Represents an aggregate of $39.9 million invested in the common stock of Group by certain of our existing equity holders (excludes $1.9 million of equity rolled over by certain members of Aspen management).

(v)    Amount represents the cash portion of the Aspen purchase price paid to the former investors. Amount excludes $1.9 million of rollover equity by certain members of Aspen management, which amount is also excluded in footnote (iv) above.

(vi)   Represents the purchase of the minority interest of two Aspen subsidiaries: (1) a 10% interest in SUWS of the Carolinas ($3.7 million), (2) a 10% interest in the Eating Disorder Venture owned by Niton, LLC (“Niton”) ($0.2 million), plus an additional $0.3 million payment related to the termination of a consulting arrangement.

(vii) Represents the pay down of our existing revolver borrowings from the proceeds of the Transaction.

(viii)Reflects our fees and expenses associated with the Transaction as follows:

 

     Amount

Fees related to the Term Loan add-on (including advisor fees)

   $ 5,519

Commitment fees related to the Company’s existing Term Loan

     859

Fees incurred in connection with Group Contributed Equity (including advisor fees)

     4,464

Acquisition related fees incurred in connection with New Equity Investment

     593
      
   $ 11,435

We have capitalized the fees and expenses of $6.4 million related to our Term Loan add-on and commitment fees related to our existing Term Loan as deferred financing costs included in “other assets.” The fees of $4.5 million associated with the Group Contributed Equity have been included as a decrease in equity proceeds and acquisition related fees of $0.6 million associated with the New Equity Investment is included as part of the acquisition consideration (see note (b) below).

 

(b) The Transaction was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Under purchase accounting, the estimated acquisition consideration is allocated to our assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. The consideration remaining is then allocated to identifiable intangibles with a finite life and amortized over that life, as well as to goodwill and identifiable intangibles with an infinite life, which will have to be evaluated prospectively on an annual basis to determine impairment and adjusted accordingly. The pro forma adjustments shown below have been based upon a preliminary valuation and other studies of our tangible and intangible assets. The final purchase price allocation may differ based upon a final valuation and the determination of final purchase price.

 

     Amount

Total purchase price of the acquisition of Aspen is as follows:

  

Cash paid to the sellers (see footnote (a) above)

   $ 271,766
