PART I
Website Access to Reports
Through our Internet website, www.greenbriar.com, we make available free of charge our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview and Background of Operations
Greenbriar Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates (the "Company") is
principally a real estate company which owns or leases retirement specific real
estate and an outlet shopping mall. In addition the Company owns oil and gas
leases The Company strives to enhance the value of these properties by proper
operations and marketing. The Company can then, if it wishes, sell or lease the
properties at their appreciated value.
As of March 31, 2004, the Company owns or leases three retirement communities in three states. The Company operates two of the retirement communities with a capacity of 162 residents and leases one community to a third party. The Company owns an outlet shopping mall in Gainesville Texas with approximately 315,000 square feet of retail space available for lease. In addition the Company owns approximately 200 oil wells in East Texas. These are low production wells with maximum production limits of 20 barrels of oil per day. As of March 31, 2004 there are 50 wells in operation.
The Assisted Living Industry
The Company believes that the assisted living industry has become the preferred
alternative to meet the growing demand for a cost-effective setting in which to
care for the elderly who do not require more intensive medical attention
provided by a skilled nursing center but who cannot live independently due to
physical or cognitive frailties. In general, assisted living represents a
combination of housing, general support services and full time personal care
services designed to aid elderly residents with the activities of daily living
("ADLs") on a scheduled and unscheduled basis. Many assisted living communities
also provide assistance to residents with low acuity medical needs or may offer
higher levels of personal assistance for incontinent residents or residents with
Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. Another growing trend in the
industry is the provision of care for higher levels of acuity. Generally,
assisted living residents have higher levels of need than residents of
independent retirement communities but lower levels than residents in skilled
nursing centers.
The Oil and Gas Industry
Gaywood Oil & Gas, LLC, of which the Company is the sole member, is in a very
narrow niche of the oil and gas industry. Gaywood has approximately 200 oil
wells in Gregg and Rusk counties in Texas of which 50 were operating as of March
31, 2004. Gaywood has no natural gas leases. Gaywood's only gas production is
totally incidental to its oil production and has no significant value. Gaywood's
leases are all wells whose potential or actual production is low, averaging
slightly over four barrels per day in March 2004. Gaywood's operation of low
volume wells is only feasible if the price of oil is above $24 per barrel.
Gaywood is neither a refiner nor a retailer of oil products. It sells its entire
production to companies who, in turn, either resell or use the products for
their own purposes.
The oil and gas industry has experienced significant commodity price volatility in recent years. Price decreases in 2002 were driven by weather patterns, a recession and actions by OPEC. Price increases in 2000 and again in 2003 were driven in part by several years of accentuated "boom and bust" cycles of drilling activity, combined with strong growth in demand for energy commodities and continued unrest in the Middle East.
The Company has no strategy, as such, for the acquisition of oil and gas properties. Gaywood was an unusual opportunity and the Company decided to pursue this particular acquisition to enhance cash flow and operating income streams.
Business Strategy
In choosing properties to invest in the Company's strategy is to choose a
property that can achieve and sustain a strong competitive position within a
chosen market. The Company also seeks to continue to enhance the performance of
the properties it operates directly. In its senior living properties the Company
seeks to enhance current operations by (i) maintaining and improving occupancy
rates at its communities (ii) opportunistically increasing resident service
fees, (iii) improving operating efficiencies and (iv) improving market
positioning.
In its oil and gas properties the Company seeks to keep producing wells properly maintained and to recondition and, where economically feasible, bring into production non-operating leases it owns.
Assisted Living Services
The Company offers a wide range of full service retirement and assisted living
care and services to its residents. The residents are allowed to select among
the services offered beyond basic support services and are charged only for the
specific services or level of services they need. The services offered by the
Company can generally be categorized as follows:
Basic Support Services - These services include providing up to three meals per day in a common dining room, special dietary planning, laundry, general housekeeping, organized social and other activities, transportation, maintenance, utilities (except telephone), security and 24-hour emergency call monitoring.
Supplemental Services - These services include performing, coordinating or assisting with bill paying, banking, personal shopping, transportation, appointments, pet care and reminder services.
Personal Care Services - These services include providing assistance with
activities of daily living (the ADLs) such as ambulation, bathing, eating,
dressing, personal hygiene and grooming.
Wellness Services - These services include assistance with the
administration of medication and health monitoring, which are provided as
permitted by government regulation.
Alzheimer's and Special Care Services - Alzheimer's care includes a higher
24-hour staff ratio to provide oversight and around-the-clock scheduled
activities. An Alzheimer's care wing is secured from the rest of the
building.
Retirement Properties
Operating Communities - The following table sets forth certain information with
respect to communities that were owned, operated or managed by the Company at

The lease includes clauses that allow for rent to increase over time based on a specified schedule.
(4) Leased to a third party.
Repair and Maintenance - The Company conducts routine repairs and maintenance, as needed, of its properties on a regular basis. The Company has no other current plans for significant expenditures relating to its existing properties and considers them to be in good repair and working order.
Retirement Community Description
The Company's existing communities as of March 31, 2004 range in size from 41 to
114 units, are from one to three stories and from 20,800 to 106,250 square feet.
Most communities have a large family room, usually equipped with a fireplace, a
spacious open dining area, library, TV room, commercial kitchen, beauty salon,
laundry and indoor and outdoor recreational areas. Units generally range in size
from approximately 330 to 400 square feet for a studio unit, 470 to 650 square
feet for a one-bedroom unit and 680 to 850 square feet for a two-bedroom unit.
Assisted living units, among other amenities, typically include a private
bathroom, kitchenette, closets, living and sleeping areas, a lockable door,
emergency call system, individual room temperature controls and fire alarm and
sprinkler systems.
Retirement Operations
In properties in the Company's portfolio, the day-to-day operations of each
community are managed by an Executive Director who is responsible for all
operations of the community, including overseeing the quality of care and
services, marketing, coordinating social activities, monitoring financial
performance and ensuring appropriate maintenance of the grounds and building.
The Executive Director consults with outside providers, such as pharmacists and
dieticians, to assist residents with medication review, menu planning and
response to any special dietary needs. Personal care, dietary services,
housekeeping and laundry services are performed primarily by line staff who are
either part or full-time employees of the Company and who are trained to perform
a variety of such services. Part or full-time employees perform most building
maintenance services, while third party contractors generally perform elevator,
HVAC maintenance and landscaping services.
The Company's senior management and other personnel provide some support services to each of the Company's communities, including development of operational standards, budgets and quality assurance programs, recruiting, training and financial, accounting and data processing services such as accounts payable, billing and payroll. Corporate personnel and community executive directors collaborate with respect to the establishment of community goals and strategies, quality assurance oversight, development of Company policies and procedures, development and implementation of new programs, cash management, human resource management and community development.
The Company has attracted and continues to seek highly dedicated and experienced personnel. All employees are required to complete training programs which include a core curriculum comprised of personal care basics, job related specific training, Alzheimer's disease processes, first aid, fire safety, nutrition, infection control and customer service. Executive Directors receive training in all of these areas, plus marketing, community relations, healthcare management and fiscal management. In addition to some classroom training, the Company's communities provide new employees with on the job training, utilizing experienced staff as trainers and mentors.

Productive Wells
The following table summarizes our gross and net interests in productive oil
wells at March 31, 2004. Net interests represented in the table are "working
interests" which bear the cost of operations. All wells are in the State of
Texas.
Gross Wells Net Wells
53 50
Oil Well Description
The Company's oil wells have all been "abandoned" by the larger oil companies
and their leases have devolved to other persons or entities. The Company has
ninety nine of these leases with a range of 67.63% to 80% of ownership. The
wells produce from 70 to 360 barrels per month.
Oil Well Operations
The Company's oil wells are maintained by third party contractors, its
production is hauled by third party contractors and the entire production is
sold under contract to a subsidiary of Black Hills Corporation. This contract is
renegotiated annually and is based on the average daily closing price of oil for
the previous month as published by Koch Supply & Trading plus a premium of $3.06
per barrel.
Quality Assurance
In retirement and assisted living a commitment to quality assurance is designed
to achieve a high degree of resident and family member satisfaction with the
care and services the Company provides. In addition to training and performance
reviews of all employees, the Company's quality control measures include:
Philosophy of Management - The Company's philosophy of management is to demonstrate by its actions and require from its employees high standards of personal integrity, to develop a climate of openness and trust, to demonstrate respect for human dignity in every circumstance, to be supportive in all relationships, to promote teamwork by involving employees in the management of their own work and to promote the free expression of ideas and opinions..
Regular Community Inspections - Community inspections are conducted by corporate personnel on a regular basis. These inspections cover the appearance of the exterior and grounds, the appearance and cleanliness of the interior, the professionalism and friendliness of staff, resident care plans, the quality of activities and the dining program, observance of residents in their daily living activities and compliance with governmental regulations.
In oil production, quality is a matter of proper separation of crude oil from saltwater. These processes are automated at each well and the Company is not aware of any complaints as to the quality of its crude oil.
Marketing
In retirement and assisted living the Company's marketing and sales efforts are
undertaken at the local level. These efforts are intended to create awareness of
a community and its services among prospective residents, their families, other
key decision-makers and professional referral sources. The communities engage in
traditional types of marketing activities, such as special events, direct
mailings, print advertising, signs and yellow page advertising. These marketing
activities and media advertisements are directed to potential residents and
their adult children, who often comprise the primary decision makers for placing
a frail elderly relative in an assisted living setting.
In its oil business the Company sells its production of crude oil through a contract as described above. The Company has no marketing efforts or responsibility in this facet of its business.
Government Regulation
The assisted living industry is maturing and, accordingly, the manner and extent
to which it is regulated at the Federal and state levels are evolving at a
steady pace. Currently, most states have a licensure category or statute that
uses the term "assisted living." Several states are proposing regulations using
the term. More than forty states have specific language in statute, licensure
regulations (including states with draft regulations) or Medicaid policy that
addresses the philosophy of assisted living. Several states have or are
reviewing licensure regulations and increasing the role of state personnel in
monitoring and controlling the assisted living industry.
One of the communities the Company operates is not required to have a license for its independent retirement operation. The other community is required to be licensed by the state in which it operates.
Any community acquired by the Company must be correctly licensed as required by its state and local laws and must be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Such community must also be in compliance with the Fair Housing Amendments Act.
In compliance with underlying state bond financing, rents at one community in Oregon must be approved by an agency of the state.
The operations of any facility gathering, transporting, processing or storing natural gas and crude oil is subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. As an owner or operator of these facilities, the Company must comply with federal, state and local laws that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste
management and disposal, and other environmental matters. Costs of operating oil wells must incorporate compliance with environmental laws, regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures.
The Company is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum wage, overtime and other working conditions. Many of the Company's employees are paid at rates related to the Federal minimum wage and accordingly, increases in the minimum wage will result in an increase in labor costs.
Management is not aware of any non-compliance by the Company as regards applicable regulatory requirements that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Competition
The long-term care industry is highly competitive and the assisted living and
Alzheimer's care businesses in particular have and will continue to become
increasingly competitive in the future. The Company competes with other assisted
living companies and numerous other companies providing similar long-term care
alternatives such as home healthcare agencies, community-based service programs,
retirement communities and convalescent centers (nursing homes). In addition,
the Company competes with a number of tax-exempt nonprofit organizations which
can finance capital expenditures on a tax-exempt basis or receive charitable
contributions unavailable to the Company and which are generally exempt from
income tax. In the markets where the Company operates the level of competition
is has increased both from regional, national and local providers. Many of the
Company's present and potential competitors have, or may have access to, greater
financial, management and other resources than those of the Company. There can
be no assurance that competitive pressures will not have a material adverse
effect on the two properties the Company operates. However, these same
circumstances provide a substantial opportunity for the Company to acquire
communities at a price that will allow a profitable resale or lease if the
community is operated properly. The Company also competes with other providers
of long-term care in the acquisition and development of additional communities.
The Company also competes with other providers of long-term care in attracting and retaining qualified and skilled personnel. In recent years, the industry has experienced a shortage of qualified professionals. The Company's operations require some professionally certified (RN or LPN) services, primarily for supervision and training of care staff. The Company has been able to retain the services of an adequate number of professional third party contractors to staff its communities appropriately and maintain its standards of quality care.
Insurance
The provision of personal services entails an inherent risk of liability
compared to more institutional long-term care communities. Assisted living
communities of the type operated by the Company, especially as regards dementia
care, offer residents a greater degree of independence in their daily lives.
This increased level of independence, however, may subject the resident and the
Company to certain risks that would be reduced in more institutionalized settings. The Company currently maintains liability insurance intended to cover such claims. However, the number of insurance carriers who offer such insurance has diminished since 1999 and the costs of such insurance continues to escalate. The Company also carries property insurance on each of its properties.
Environmental Matters
Under various Federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be
required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum
product releases at the property, and may be held liable to a governmental
entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean
up costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. Such
laws typically impose clean up responsibility and liability without regard to
whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants
and the liability under such laws has been interpreted to be joint and several
unless the harm is divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocation of
responsibility. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of such
substances may be substantial and the presence of such substances or the failure
to remediate properly such property may adversely affect the owner's ability to
sell or lease the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. In
addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in
favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the
contamination. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or
toxic substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or redemption of
such substances at the disposal or treatment community, whether or not such
community is owned or operated by that person or corporation. Finally, the owner
or operator of a site may be subject to common law claims by third parties based
on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from a
site.
The Company has conducted environmental assessments on most of its existing owned or leased properties. These assessments have not revealed any environmental liability that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operations. The Company is not aware of any such environmental liability. The Company believes that all of its properties are in compliance in all material respects with all Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority, and is not otherwise aware, of any material non-compliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of its communities.
Control by Insiders
As of March 31, 2004, the Company's officers, directors and affiliated entities
owning more than 5% of the Company's outstanding stock owned approximately 62%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Warwick Summit square, from
purchases, owns approximately 21% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company. Sylvia M. Gilley, widow of former Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer James R. Gilley, and one corporation wholly owned by Mrs.
Gilley, beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 16 % of the outstanding
Common Stock of the Company. Victor L. Lund, a director of the Company and the
founder of Wedgwood Retirement Inns (a company acquired by the Company in 1996),
beneficially owned approximately 12% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Floyd Rhoades, as a result of the stock he received when the Company purchased
American Care Communities, Inc., beneficially owns approximately 6% of the
Company's outstanding stock. Gene S. Bertcher, Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer, from purchases owns approximately 7% of
the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Accordingly, such individuals will
have the ability, by voting their shares in concert, to significantly influence
(i) the election of the Company's Board of Directors and, thus, the direction
and future operations of the Company, and (ii) the outcome of all other matters
submitted to the Company's stockholders, including mergers, consolidations and
the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the
parties listed above currently hold options or conversion rights to acquire
80,000 shares of Common Stock. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the exercise of these stock options granted under the Company's
stock option plan would increase the number of shares held by the Company's
executive officers, directors and affiliated entities in the future.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain, among other things,
provisions (i) authorizing shares of preferred stock with respect to which the
Board of Directors has the power to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions without any further vote or action by the stockholders (ii)
requiring holders of at least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock to join
together in requesting a special meeting of stockholders and (iii) prohibiting
removal of a director other than for "cause" and then only if the holders of at
least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock vote for such removal. The Company is
also subject to Sections 78.411-78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the
"Control Act") which in general prohibits any business combination involving the
Company and a person that beneficially owns 10% or more of the outstanding
Common Stock or an affiliate or associate of the Company who within the past
three years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, or 10% or more of
the outstanding Common Stock, except under certain circumstances. The
application of the Control Act and/or the provisions of the Company's Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws could delay, deter or prevent a merger,
consolidation, tender offer or other business combination or change of control
involving the Company that some or a majority of the Company's stockholders
might consider to be in their personal best interests, including offers or
attempted takeovers that might otherwise result in such stockholders receiving a
premium over the market price of the Common Stock and may adversely affect the
market price of and the voting and other rights of, the holders of Common Stock.
Employees
At March 31, 2004, the Company employed 86 employees, including 39 full-time and
47 part-time employees. The Company believes it maintains good relationships
with its employees. None of the Company's employees are represented by a
collective bargaining group.
Corporate Offices
The Company's principal office is approximately 2,500 square feet of leased
space in Dallas, Texas. The Company believes the leased space will meet the
Company's needs for the foreseeable future.
See Item 1 for a discussion of properties owned or leased by the Company.
Benetic Financial vs. Wedgwood et al:
This action is against a subsidiary of the Company as well as other corporate
and individual defendants. In 1993, Wedgwood Retirement Inns entered into a
financing arrangement with a third party lender. The plaintiff alleged that he
had a verbal brokerage agreement with Wedgwood and was entitled to a fee. The
Company acquired Wedgwood in 1996.
In a jury trial the plaintiff was awarded $150,000 on one count of his complaint. However, the jury found for the defendants on all other counts. In his final ruling the judge awarded the defendants legal fees that were in excess of the judgment. The plaintiff appealed and on April 30, 2003 the California Court of Appeals let the $150,000 stand but reversed the judge's award of legal fees. Based upon the ruling of the Court of Appeals the defendants are obligated for the judgment plus $165,093 in interest since 1993. The judgment is against all the defendants as a group.
The defendants filed an appeal to the California Supreme Court but the appeal was denied. There are no further legal defenses available. A 1995 sharing arrangement exists whereby Wedgwood and Victor Lund, the former President of Wedgwood and a current director of Greenbriar were obligated to pay 2/3 of any judgment. Greenbriar had previously agreed to indemnify Mr. Lund for any losses in this matter.
The Company has recorded its share of the loss in prior years.
Internal Revenue Service Pre-Assessment Letter In December 1991 the Company sold four nursing homes to a not-for-profit corporation in exchange for tax exempt bonds issued on behalf or the acquiring corporation by government authorities. The bonds were issued in three lettered series. The aggregate principal amount of the Series A bonds was $8,700,000, the aggregate principal amount of the series B bonds was $1,000,000 and the aggregate amount of the series C bonds was $6,700,000. Interest on the bonds was payable semi-annually. A nationally recognized law firm opined that the interest on the bonds would be tax-exempt.
In March 1992, pursuant to a plan promulgated and recommended by a nationally recognized investment banking firm, the Series C bonds were converted to zero coupon status and their value was enhanced by substituting higher grade collateral. The substitute collateral, which consisted of zero coupon U.S. Treasury obligations, was placed in trust to defease the Series C bonds, in exchange for the underlying mortgage. The Series C bonds were then sold for approximately $47,000,000. A gain was recorded equal to the proceeds received by the Company of $6,252,000 after deducting transaction costs and the cost of the higher grade collateral. A nationally recognized law firm opined that the defeasance of the bonds would not adversely affect the tax exempt status.
In December 1992, again pursuant to a plan promulgated and recommended by a nationally recognized investment banking firm, the Series A bonds were converted to zero coupon status, their value enhanced by substituting zero coupon U.S.
Treasury obligations as collateral and the collateral placed in trust in exchange for the mortgage underlying the Series A bonds in a transaction similar to the sale of the Series C bonds. The Series A bonds were then sold for approximately $20,000,000. A gain was recorded equal to the proceeds received by the Company of $2,081,000 after deducting transaction costs and the cost of the higher grade collateral.
On January 8, 2004 the Company was notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the form of a Section 6700 Pre-Assessment Letter that the IRS was considering assessing penalties under Section 6700 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of the Company's organization or assistance in connection with the issuance and sale of the Series A and Series C bonds.
In general, Section 6700 of the IRS Code imposes a penalty on any person or organization who organizes or assists in organizing an entity or participates in the sale of any interest in an entity and makes or furnishes or causes another person to make or furnish a statement with respect to the allowably of any deduction, the excludability of any income which the person knows or has reason to know is false or fraudulent as to any material matter.
The penalty prescribed in Section 6700 is the lesser of 100% of the gross income derived from the activity or $1,000 for each such activity. Each entity or arrangement shall be treated as a separate activity.
If it is ultimately determined that the Company is subject to a fine that fine would be the lesser of $1,000 per activity or the gross proceeds the Company received. Effectively the fine would be calculated based upon a determination as to what constitutes an activity. The IRS has informed the Company that the Series A and C bonds were purchased by 266 individuals or entities. If the penalty is computed by considering each sale an activity the maximum exposure to the Company would be $267,000. However, neither Section 6700 nor, to the Company's knowledge, relevant authorities specify what constitutes an activity. The IRS has indicated that the $1,000 per activity should be computed in a manner other than the number of individuals who purchased the bonds however they have not indicated to the Company any basis or authority for their position. If the IRS's assertions as to the number of activities exceeds 8,333 activities then the Company believes the maximum exposure would be the total proceeds received and income recorded of $8,333,000.
The transactions which the IRS is examining involved technically complex financial and legal issues and were undertaken on the advice of and reliance on the investment banking firm, the law firms that issued the tax exempt bond legal opinions and other professionals. The Company believed in 1992 and still believes that its actions were appropriate in all respects.
The Company and the IRS are engaged in negotiations regarding settling this twelve year old matter. However, there is no assurance that any settlement will be achieved. In the absence of a settlement, the Company intends to contest the
IRS's position in court. Any litigation may be expensive and time consuming. However, if this matter is litigated the Company believes that it will prevail on the merits. Should it not prevail in this matter the Company intends to pursue actions against the professionals who advised the Company regarding the sale of the bonds.
Other
The Company has been named as a defendant in other lawsuits in the ordinary
course of business. Management is of the opinion that these lawsuits will not
have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
As of March 31, 2004 the Company owns one assisted living community and leases
one community in two states with total capacity of 204 residents.. In addition
the Company owns one community that is operated by an independent third party
with a capacity of 41 residents. The Company also owns 200 oil wells in East
Texas and a 315,000 square foot outlet mall in Gainesville, Texas
Since 1996 the Company has owned, leased and operated assisted living and retirement communities throughout the United States. During that period of time the Company has both acquired and sold over seventy communities. The acquiring and disposing of its real estate assets has been an integral part of the Company's business.
During the past several years the Company's business strategy has evolved into one of focusing on the real estate component and reducing its operating activities. The Company objective is to become an investor in various entities, principally partnerships, whose intent is to acquire properties and either sell, lease or enter into joint venture agreements with third party operators with respect to these properties
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain of the Company's accounting policies require the application of judgment in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments and estimates are based upon the Company's historical experience, current trends, and information available from other sources that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies are more significant to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Revisions in such estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revisions become known.
Deferred Tax Assets
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for
income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance
recorded against net deferred tax assets. The future recoverability of the
Company's net deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carry forwards. The Company believes that it will generate future taxable income to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets.
Fiscal 2003 as Compared to Fiscal 2002
Revenues and Operating Expenses from Assisted Living Operations: Revenues were
$4,585,000 in 2003 compared to $4,422,000 in 2002. Community operating expenses,
which consist of assisted living operations expense, lease expense and
depreciation and amortization, were $4,131,000 in 2003 as compared to $3,872,000
in 2002.
During the first quarter of 2002 leases held by the company for the operation of two properties were not renewed. As of May 31, 2002 one property was contributed to a partnership in which the Company has a 56% limited partnership interest. The partnership is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. On September 30, 2002 the company sold two properties and on November 1, 2002 the Company sold two subsidiaries each of whom owned an assisted living property. On November 1, 2002 the Company reacquired a property that had been previously leased to a third party.
On a same store basis for properties held for all of 2003 and 2002 Revenues were $3,587,000 in 2003 and $3,500,000 in 2002. Community operating expenses were $3,149,000 in 2003 and $3,145,000 in 2002.
Revenues and Operating Expenses from Oil & Gas Operations: The Company acquired it's oil & gas operations effective August 1, 2003. Revenues were $449,000, operating expenses were $400,000 and depletion and depreciation was $41,000.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses: These expenses were $1,111,000 in 2003 as compared to $2,329,000 in 2002. The decrease in the corporate general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of a decrease in salaries and related payroll expenses. Due to a significant reduction in the number of Communities operated by the Company the number of employees on the corporate staff was reduced. The downsizing also resulted in an overall decrease in almost all general and administrative cost categories.
Write-off of Impaired Assets and Related Expenses: During 2002 the Company wrote down the recorded value of a property it was attempting to sell.
Interest and Dividend Income Interest and dividend income was $304,000 in 2003 as compared to $412,000 in 2002. The decrease in interest and dividend income is a result of a reduction in the notes receivable held by the Company
Interest Expenses: These expenses decreased to $705,000 in 2003 as compared to $840,000 in 2002. The decrease is due primarily to the reduction in the number of Communities.
Gain on Sale of Assets: In 2001 the Company sold a property and received proceeds of both cash and a bond bearing interest at 9.5%. The payment of both principal and interest on the bond was based exclusively on the cash flow from the property sold. For financial statement purposes the bond was valued at zero.
In August 2003 the Company exchanged the bond for 100% of Gaywood Oil and Gas
LLC. Gaywood was valued by independent engineers as having a fair market value
of $1,169,000 which was recorded as a gain by the Company. In September 2003 the
Company sold land it was holding for $125,000 cash and recorded a loss of
$111,000 on the sale.
In November 2002 the Company sold its 56% interest in MREI to Sylvia M. Gilley in exchange for a reduction of $1,120,000 owed to Ms Gilley and a one year extension on the remaining portion of the note due her of $2,255,000. The Company recorded income of $930,000.
Other Income ( Expense): Other income was $342,000 in 2003 and ($1,153,000) in 2002
Other income in 2003 includes reimbursement of a prior year insurance claim, the settlement of a lawsuit as well as settlements for certain prior year accounts payable.
In September 2002 the Company entered into a venture with a third party to secure partnership interests in future acquisitions of assisted living communities. The agreement required the Company to pay $660,000 over the next twelve months to fund the cost of the due diligence for these acquisitions. There can be no assurance that this venture will be successful and the Company has therefore charged the entire cost to expense. The Company records its 56% investment CREI by the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of the operating losses of this partnership was $621,000. On September 30, 2002 CREI sold it's two properties to a third party for a gain of $2,315,000. The Company has deferred recognition of its 56% participation in the gain.
Discontinued Operations In October 2001the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of long Lived Assets. (SFAS #144). The Company adopted SFAS # 144 effective January 1, 2002 which resulted in a presentation of the net operating results of these qualifies properties sold in 2002 as (loss) from discontinued operations for all periods presented. During 2002 the Company disposed of six properties. Revenue for the six properties were approximately $4,698,000 in 2002. Operating expenses for the six properties were approximately $5,325,000 in 2002.
The loss on sale of these six properties in 2002 was $4,001,000which includes income tax expense of $440,000.
Fiscal 2002 as Compared to Fiscal 2001
Revenues and Operating Expenses from Assisted Living Operations: Revenues
decreased to $9,120,000 in 2002 compared to $30,861,000 in 2001. Community
operating expenses, which consist of assisted living operations expense, lease
expense and depreciation and amortization, were $8,070,000 in 2002 as compared
to $25,417,000 in 2001.
During the last six months of 2001 the Company disposed of 11 Communities as part of redemption of its Series E and F Preferred Stock. The Company also sold three Communities to not for profit organizations. The Company also sold one Community and leased one Community to independent third parties. In addition the Company entered into a sub-management contract for three properties whereby the sub-manager is retaining the revenue and paying the expenses as their fee for being a sub-manager. The sub-manager also had an option to acquire the communities upon approval of the third party lenders. For reporting purposes the Company for the duration of the sub management agreement no longer recorded the revenue and operating expenses of the three Communities. In May 2002 one of the properties with a sub-management contract was sold and one was returned to the Company and immediately leased to a third party. The final property was shut down and is in the process of being turned over to the lender.
During the first quarter of 2002 leases held by the company for the operation of two properties were not renewed. As of May 31, 2002 one property was contributed to a partnership in which the Company has a 56% limited partnership interest. The partnership is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
On September 30, 2002 the company sold two properties and on November 1, 2002 the Company sold two subsidiaries each of whom owned an assisted living property
In October 2001 and May 2002 the Company obtained 56% limited partnership interests in two partnerships which own four communities. These communities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and therefore the Company does not record the revenue and expenses of the communities.
Overall the Company recorded revenue and expenses for 24 fewer communities 2002 than the comparable periods in the prior year. The reduction in the revenue and operating expenses for 2002 as compared to 2001 is almost entirely due to the reduction in the number of Communities owned and leased by the company
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses: These expenses were $2,329,000 in 2002 as compared to $4,875,000 in 2001. The decrease in the corporate general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of a decrease in salaries and related payroll expenses. Due to a significant reduction in the number of Communities operated by the Company the number of employees on the corporate staff was reduced. In addition salaries for members of senior management have been reduced. Also during 2001 the Company was incurring legal and professional fees with respect to a lawsuit with a preferred shareholder in addition to its customary expenses. Legal fees decreased by $155,052 in 2002 when compared to 2001.
Write-off of Impaired Assets and Related Expenses: During 2002 the Company wrote down the recorded value of a property it is attempting to sell.
Interest and Dividend Income: Interest and dividend income was $412,000 in 2002 as compared to $212,000 in 2001. The increase in interest and dividend income is a result of interest recorded on a $1,600,000 note receivable related to the Company's investment in the Corinthian Real Estate Investors L.P. in November 2001.
Interest Expense: These expenses decreased to $2,279,000 in 2001 as compared to $4,958,000 in 2000. The decrease is due primarily to the reduction in the number of Communities.
Gain on Sale of Assets: In August 2003 the Company exchanged a bond, which had a zero value for accounting purposes for 100% of Gaywood Oil & Gas LLC. Gaywood was valued by independent engineers as having a fair market value of $1,169,000 which was recorded as a gain by the Company. In September 2003 the Company sold land it was holding for $125,000 cash and recorded a loss of $111,000 on the sale
In November 2002 the Company sold it's 56% interest in MREI to Sylvia M. Gilley in exchange for a reduction of $1,120,000 owed to Ms Gilley and a one year extension on the remaining portion of the note due her of $2,255,000. The Company recorded income of $930,000.
Other Income Expenses: In September 2002 the Company entered into a venture with a third party to secure partnership interests in future acquisitions of assisted living communities. The agreement required the Company to pay $660,000 over the next twelve months to fund the cost of the due diligence for these acquisitions. There can be no assurance that this venture will be successful and the Company has therefore charged the entire cost to expense. The Company records its 56% investment CREI by the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of the operating losses of this partnership was $621,000. On September 30, 2002 CREI sold it's two properties to a third party for a gain of $2,315,000. The Company has deferred recognition of its 56% participation in the gain.
Discontinued Operations: In October 2001the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of long Lived Assets. (SFAS #144). The Company adopted SFAS # 144 effective January 1, 2002 which resulted in a presentation of the net operating results of these qualifies properties sold in 2002 as (loss) from discontinued operations for all periods presented. During 2002 the Company disposed of six properties. Revenue for the six properties were approximately $4,698,000 in 2002 and $7,293,000 in 2001. Operating expenses for the six properties were approximately $5,325,000 in 2002 and $7,610,000 in 2001.
The loss on sale of these six properties in 2002 was $4,001,000 which includes income tax expense of $440,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2003 the Company had current assets of $3,421,000 and current
liabilities of $12,328,000.
In December 2003 the Company acquired the Gainesville Outlet Mall in Gainesville, Texas. The Company paid approximately $800,000 in cash and a short term obligation to pay the seller approximately $5,571,000. The Company has negotiated long term financing and anticipates closing on or before April 30, 2004.
Also included in current liabilities is an obligation of principal and accrued interest to Sylvia Gilley, wife of the former President of the Company, for $2,580,000. The terms of this obligation are similar to that of preferred stock whereby the Company can only pay this obligation out of available earned surplus.
Future acquisitions by the Company are dependent upon obtaining capital and financing through various means, including financing obtained from loans, sale/leaseback transactions, long-term state bond financing, debt or equity offerings and, to the extent available, cash generated from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate capital to finance its projected growth.
Effect of Inflation
The Company's principal sources of revenues are from resident fees from
Company-owned or leased assisted living communities and management fees from
communities operated by the Company for third parties. The operation of the
communities is affected by rental rates that are highly dependent upon market
conditions and the competitive environment in the areas where the communities
are located. Compensation to employees is the principal cost element relative to
the operations of the communities. Although the Company has not historically experienced any adverse effects of inflation on salaries or other operating expenses, there can be no assurance that such trends will continue or that should inflationary pressures arise that the Company will be able to offset such costs by increasing rental rates or management fees.
Forward Looking Statements
"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995: A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this filing that
are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances,
operations, and prospects. The discussion of such matters and subject areas is
qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future
expectations generally, and also may materially differ from Greenbriar

currently or previously owned, leased or managed communities in the Company's
portfolio, and the ability of the Company to continue managing its costs and
cash flow while maintaining high occupancy rates and market rate assisted living
charges in its assisted living communities. Greenbriar Corporation has attempted
to identify, in context, certain of the factors that they currently believe may
cause actual future experience and results to differ from Greenbriar
Corporation's current expectations regarding the relevant matter or subject
area. These and other risks and uncertainties are detailed in the Company's
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including
Greenbriar Corporation's Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on

Stock Option Plan
The Board of Directors administers the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan (the
"1997 Plan") and the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan") each of which
provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options to the
Company's executive officers, as well as its directors and other key employees,
and consultants. Under the two Plans, options are granted to provide incentives
to participants to promote long-term performance of the Company and
specifically, to retain and motivate senior management in achieving a sustained
increase in stockholder value. Currently, none of the Plans has a pre-set
formula or criteria for determining the number of options that may be granted.
The exercise price for an option granted is determined by the compensation
committee, in an amount not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of
the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The compensation committee
reviews and evaluates the overall compensation package of the executive officers
and determines the awards based on the overall performance of the Company and
the individual performance of the executive officers. The Company's stock plans
total 50,000 shares of common stock under the 1997 Plan and 50,000 shares of
common stock under the 2000 Plan. As of March 31, 2004 options have been granted
for all shares reserved under the 1997 Plan and 10,000 shares for the 2000 Plan.
Compensation of Directors
The Company pays each director a fee of $2,500 per year, plus a meeting fee of

ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The following paragraphs describe certain transactions between the company and any stockholder beneficially owning more than 5% of the outstanding common stock, the executive officers and directors of the company and members of the immediate family or affiliates of any of them, which occurred since the beginning of the 1999 fiscal year.
On November 19, 1993 the company sold 10,000 unregistered shares of its common stock to The April Trust, a grantor trust for the benefit of James R. Gilley, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the company, and his wife, at a price equal to the closing price of the shares on the American Stock Exchange on that date ($281.25) per share for consideration consisting of a $2,250,000 promissory note (for which Mr. Gilley is a co-maker) for the full purchase price thereof, of which $450,000 of the principal amount of the note is a recourse obligation of Mr. Gilley and the grantor trust and the balance of the note is non-recourse. The note bears interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum, which accrues and is payable along with all principal upon maturity on November 18, 2003, and is secured by a pledge of the stock back to the company to hold as collateral for payment of the note pending payment in full. On December 16,1996, the compensation committee extended the due date of the note to November 18, 2008.
Effective December 31, 2002 April Trust and the Company agreed to cancel the $2,250,000 promissory note. The 10,000 shares were returned to the Company. From an unrelated matter the Company has a note due James R Gilley's estate of $1,081,000. This note was reduced to $631,000 to reflect the $450,000 recourse portion of the $2,250,000 promissory note.
Gene S. Bertcher, an officer of the company, was indebted to the company for an aggregate of $92,500, for notes issued in 1993 as payment for shares of Common Stock. Mr. Bertcher's notes were secured by a pledge of 650 shares of common stock. Such notes bore interest at a rate equal to any cash or stock dividends declared on the purchased stock and were due in a single installment for each such note on or before October 1, 2002. Upon maturity of the note the stock was returned to the Company in full satisfaction of the obligation.
As part of the Wedgwood Acquisition and as an accommodation to the sellers to assist them to help achieve a tax-free acquisition, James R. Gilley and members of his family agreed to contribute a retail property in North Carolina to the company in exchange for 27,000 shares of the company's Series D preferred stock. Mr. Gilley and his family had owned the retail property for over five years. The consideration received by James R. Gilley and members of his family, valued at $3,375,000, was based upon an independent appraisal of the North Carolina shopping center. The Series D preferred stock is unregistered, has no trading market unless converted to common stock and is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to come before a meeting of stockholders. The Series D preferred stock bears a cumulative quarterly dividend of 9.5% per year, which approximates the cash flow Mr. Gilley and his family members were receiving from the retail property prior to its contribution to the company. Mr. Gilley and his family members and affiliates transferred all of the shares of Series D preferred stock to The April Trust effective April 1997. On July 1, 2001 the Series D Preferred Stock was converted to a note due June 30, 2004. The note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
The Company owned a 56% interest in a partnership, which owned two assisted living communities in Oklahoma. The partnership leased the two communities to an independent third party for three years and entered into a future sales contract that obligated the lessee to purchase the two communities at the end of the lease. If the transaction were completed as planned the Company would receive $1,120,000 for its 56% interest. To reduce its debt the Company entered into an agreement with Sylvia Gilley to transfer its 56% interest to the Sylvia Gilley in exchange for a reduction in the debt of $1,120,000, which reduced its obligation to Sylvia Gilley to $2,255,000.
It is anticipated that in the future the company's executive officers will participate in the profits or losses derived from the company's involvement in real estate and senior living property partnerships. The company feels that allowing these officers to participate as partners instead of drawing large salaries will allow the company to hold down its overhead while rewarding those executive officers who help the company prosper.
It is the policy of the company that all transactions between the company and any officer or director, or any of their affiliates, must be approved by non-management members of the board of directors of the company. All of the transactions described above were so approved.
ITEM 14: PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees
Farmer, Fuqua & Huff's fees for our 2003 annual audit and review of interim
financial statements is estimated to be $40,000.
All Other Fees
Grant Thornton's fees for all other professional services rendered to the
Company during 2003 were $136,783, including audit related services of $94,259
and non-audit services of $42,524. Audit related services included fees for
statutory audits, lender required audits and accounting consultations. Non-audit
services included fees for tax preparation and tax consultations.
Audit Committee
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "SO Act"), and the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of
the work of the independent auditor. The purpose of the provisions of the SO Act
and the SEC rules for the Audit Committee role in retaining the independent
auditor is two-fold. First, the authority and responsibility for the
appointment, compensation and oversight of the auditors should be with directors
who are independent of management. Second, any non-audit work performed by the
auditors should be reviewed and approved by these same independent directors to
ensure that any non-audit services performed by the auditor do not impair the
independence of the independent auditor. To implement the provisions of the SO
Act, the SEC issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent
may not provide to its audit client, and governing the Audit Committee's
administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. As part of this
responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and
non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that
they do not impair the auditor's independence. Accordingly, the Audit Committee
has adopted a pre-approval policy of audit and non-audit services (the
"Policy"), which sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which
services to be performed by the independent auditor are to be pre-approved.
Consistent with the SEC rules establishing two different approaches to
pre-approving non-prohibited services, the Policy of the Audit Committee covers
Pre-approval of audit services, audit-related services, international
administration tax services, non-U.S. income tax compliance services, pension
and benefit plan consulting and compliance services, and U.S. tax compliance and
planning. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Audit Committee will
evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including
the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and the
approve or reject each service, taking into account whether services are
permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit
service on the independent auditor's independence from management. Typically, in
addition to the generally pre-approved services, other services would include
due diligence for an acquisition that may or may not have been known at the
beginning of the year. The Audit Committee has also delegated to any member of
the Audit Committee designated by the Board or the financial expert member of
the Audit Committee responsibilities to pre-approve services to be performed by
the independent auditor not exceeding $25,000 in value or cost per engagement of
audit and non-audit services, and such authority may only be exercised when the
Audit Committee is not in session.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Greenbriar Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Greenbriar Corporation (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Greenbriar Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note P to the consolidated financial statements, the Company was notified by the Internal Revenue Service of potential penalties that may be assessed against the Company as a result of the sale of certain bonds in 1992. The Company is currently in discussions with the Internal Revenue Service to resolve the matter. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these discussions, nor the ultimate amount of penalties, if any, which may be assessed. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Greenbriar Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates (the "Company") is principally a real estate company which owns or leases retirement specific real estate and an outlet shopping mall. In addition the Company owns oil and gas leases. The Company strives to enhance the value of these properties by proper operations and marketing. The Company can then, if it wishes, sell or lease the properties at their appreciated value.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company owns or leases three retirement communities in three states. The Company operates two of the retirement communities with a capacity of 162 residents and leases one community to a third party. The Company owns an outlet shopping mall in Gainesville, Texas with approximately 315,000 square feet of retail space available for lease. In addition the Company owns approximately 200 oil wells in East Texas. These are low production wells with maximum production limits of 20 barrels of oil per day. As of March 31, 2004 there are 50 wells in operation.
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenbriar Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) and are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Assisted living community revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable value based upon expected amounts to be recovered from residents, third party payors, and others for services rendered. Services provided by certain of the Company's communities are reimbursed under various state assistance plans.
Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of property and equipment to operations over their estimated service lives, ranging from 3 to 40 years. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method.
Greenbriar Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
Continued
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company considers all short-term deposits and money market investments with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
Notes receivable are identified as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the note agreements. The accrual of interest is discontinued on such notes, and no income is recognized until all past due amounts of principal and interest are recovered in full. No notes were deemed to be impaired at December 31, 2002 and 2003.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and eventually disposing of them. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the asset's fair value.
The Company determines the fair value of assets to be disposed of and records the asset at the lower of fair value less disposal costs or carrying value. Assets are not depreciated while held for disposal.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Stock Options
-------------
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) in its primary
financial statements and has provided supplemental disclosures required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" and by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition
and Disclosure an Amendment of SFAS No. 123."
Options were granted at market during 2003 and 2001, are exercisable
immediately, and expire 5 and 10 years from date of grant, respectively.
SFAS 123 requires disclosure of pro forma net earnings (loss) and pro forma
net earnings (loss) per share as if the fair value method had been applied
in measuring compensation cost for stock-based awards.
Reported and pro forma net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per
share amounts are set forth below (in thousands, except per share data):
2003 2002 2001
------- ------- -------
Net earnings (loss) allocable to common stockholders
As reported $ 222 $(8,377) $ 6,258
Deduct: total stock-based compensation under
fair value based method for all awards (43) (464) (369)

Pro forma $ 179 $(8,841) $ 5,889
======= ======= =======
Net earnings (loss) per share
As reported $ .31 $(11.67) $ 7.76
Pro forma $ .25 $(12.31) $ 7.31
|
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant during 2003 and 2001 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: no dividends; expected volatility of 20 percent in 2003, and 317 percent in 2001; risk-free interest rates of 4.24 percent for 2003, 5.0 percent for 2001; and weighted average expected lives of 5 years for 2003 and 6.8 years for 2001.
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
Continued
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In 2003, 2002 and 2001, stock options for approximately 140,000, 280,000, and 280,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from diluted shares outstanding because their effect was anti-dilutive.
The Company accounts for its investment in affiliate, in which it is a limited partner, by the equity method of accounting.
The Company declared a one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split effective December 1, 2001. Due to the reduced stock float available in the public market, the Company declared a twenty-five percent stock dividend to stockholders of record on January 25, 2002 and a two-for-one stock split on October 31, 2003. All share data has been restated to give effect to the stock split and stock dividend.
Gains on sales of real estate are recognized to the extent permitted by SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 have been met for full profit recognition, sales are accounted for by the installment or cost recovery method, whichever is appropriate.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses how and when to measure impairment on long-lived assets and how to account for long-lived assets that an entity plans to dispose of either through sale, abandonment, exchange, or distribution to owners. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002. See Note O for a discussion of the impact on the Company from the adoption of SFAS No. 144.
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
Continued
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are effective for any guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. .
The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of this statement.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements." For certain entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest ("variable interest entities"). Variable interest entities within the scope of FIN 46 will be required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after December 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after March 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before January 1, 2004. Our determination is that the adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 will not have a material impact upon our financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE C - DEFERRED GAINS ON SALE OF PROPERTY
As a result of the sale of two communities in 2001 the Company holds tax-exempt notes for a total of $4,030,000 bearing interest at 9.5%. The notes mature on April 1, 2032, and August 1, 2031 respectively.
The repayment of the notes is limited to the cash flow of the respective properties either from operations, refinancing or sale. The Company has deferred gains in the amount of $3,720,000 and $6,127,000 in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The deferred gains and interest income will be recognized as cash is received.
NOTE D - EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT TERMINATIONS
In January 1997, the Company negotiated employment contracts with James Gilley (the then Chief Executive Officer) and Gene Bertcher (the then Chief Financial Officer) of the Company. Both individuals had been employed by the Company since 1989. The employment contracts called for combined annual salaries of $640,000 per year and provided that, if the contracts were terminated or amended, the individuals would be entitled to a cash payment of three years salary for Gilley and two years salary for Bertcher. In light of the reduced size of the Company, the independent directors and the officers in October 2001 agreed to modify the employment agreements with the two officers. The two officers each agreed to continue their roles in the Company for $12,000 per year for three years. The revisions in the contracts triggered contract termination payments requiring the Company to immediately pay the two officers $1,740,000. However, the two officers agreed to accept non-interest bearing notes due December 31, 2004. These notes have certain acceleration provisions if the Company violates the terms of the revised employment contracts. For accounting purposes, interest has been imputed on the notes at 8.5%, resulting in a discount of $391,000. The net amount of the notes of $1,349,000 was expensed in 2001. In 2002, the notes were reduced by $881,600 as an offset for amounts due the company. During 2003, the note to Bertcher was satisfied by issuing stock in the amount of $197,809, net of discount of $29,591. At December 31, 2003, the balance of the notes payable to Gilley, net of remaining discount of $103,000, was $528,000.
NOTE E - AFFILIATED PARTNERSHIPS
In October 2001, the Company became a 56% limited partner in Corinthians Real Estate Investors LP (CREI), a partnership formed to acquire two properties. The general partner is a limited liability corporation whose controlling member was James Gilley. Mr. Gilley was the former CEO of the Company. Mr. Gilley's estate has a 25.9% interest, the general partner has a .1% interest, the Company's chief financial officer has a 10.5% interest, and other employees of the Company have interests aggregating 7.5%. In October 2001, CREI acquired a retirement community for approximately $9,100,000 and in January 2002, it acquired an assisted living community for approximately $2,800,000.
The Company issued a $1,600,000 note to the seller in 2001 as partial payment for the purchase of the retirement community. CREI gave the Company a $1,600,000 note in consideration for payment of that amount of the purchase price. The note bears interest at 8.75% and was due December 30, 2003. The balance of the purchase price was funded by borrowings by CREI from a third party in the amount of $7,840,000, which was guaranteed by the Company. CREI also had debt in the amount of $3,975,000 at December 31, 2001 collateralized by the assisted living community that was guaranteed by the Company. CREI paid both of the latter two amounts in 2002.
The Company accounts for its investment in CREI by the equity method. The Company recorded income of $131,733 in 2003 and losses of $692,338 and $95,947 for 2002 and 2001, respectively. These amounts are included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying financial statements.
In September 2002, CREI sold its two properties for cash and notes and paid off its debt. As part of the proceeds, CREI received a note for $1,600,000 which was transferred to the Company in satisfaction of its $1,600,000 note receivable from CREI. CREI also assigned to the Company a $400,000 participation in another note in payment of other CREI debt to the Company.
NOTE E - AFFILIATED PARTNERSHIPS - Continued
The Company transferred the $1,600,000 note it received in 2002 to the original owner of the retirement community in payment of the Company's $1,600,000 debt. The Company guaranteed payment of the $1,600,000 note.
CREI recognized a gain on sale in the amount of $1,322,000. The Company has deferred recognition of its share ($740,000) of the gain because of the aforementioned guaranty. CREI has deferred a gain on sale in the amount $994,000 that will be recognized on the installment method. The Company will realize its $577,000 (56%) portion of the $944,000 upon collection of the notes held by CREI. The notes are due September 30, 2004.
In January 2002 the Company became a 56% limited partner in a partnership, Muskogee Real Estate Investors (MREI), which acquired two assisted living communities in Muskogee, OK, including one community acquired from the Company. In September 2002 MREI leased the two communities to a third party for three years. The lessee has committed to purchase the two properties during the three-year period for $6,000,000. The current debt on the property is approximately $4,000,000.
The Company had a note to Sylvia M. Gilley, wife of the former CEO of the Company, for $3,375,000. In November 2002, the Company transferred its 56% interest in MREI to Mrs. Gilley in exchange for a reduction of $1,120,000 on the debt and a one-year extension on the due date of the Company's note to Mrs. Gilley. The Company recognized a gain of $929,956 on the transaction.
The Company accounted for its investment in MREI using the equity method. The Company recorded income of $80,215 during 2002.
In September 2002 the Company entered into an agreement with an independent third party to jointly acquire properties in the future. The third party entity is affiliated with the various entities that acquired or leased the properties from CREI and MREI mentioned above. Affiliates of this group also purchased properties in Harlingen, TX and Sherman, TX from the Company on September 30, 2002 and acquired the Company's interest in entities that operated properties in Roswell, NM and Seaside, OR.
The agreement provides that the Company will be allowed to participate in the acquisition of twelve communities and receive a 50% partnership interest. The Company has agreed to pay $660,000, payable at $55,000 per month from October 2002 through September 2003, to cover the due diligence expenses incurred by the third party. The Company's $660,000 obligation has been accrued and charged to expense in 2002. The agreement further provides that at any time during the twenty-four months subsequent to the formation of a partnership and the acquisition of properties, the third party can purchase the Company's partnership interest in each of the 12 properties for a stipulated amount per property.

NOTE F - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate values at December 31, 2003 and 2002:
Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Long-term debt - The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on market rates for the same or similar issues. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value.
Notes receivable - The fair value of the note receivable from an affiliate partnership is estimated to approximate fair value based on its short maturity. It is not practical to estimate the fair value of notes receivable from sale of properties because no quoted market exists and there are no comparable debt instruments to provide a basis for valuation.
NOTE G - ACQUISITION AND SALE OF ASSETS
ACQUISITION OF GAYWOOD OIL AND GAS, LLC
Effective August 1, 2003 the Company acquired Gaywood Oil & Gas, LLC (Gaywood) a company that has oil and gas leases in the East Texas Field. The oil wells in this field have low but steady oil production. The Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the oil & gas industry in Texas, limits production in this field to 20 barrels of oil per day for each operating well. There are approximately 200 existing wells on the leases owned by Gaywood. At December 31, 2003 Gaywood had 50 operating wells, generating approximately 4,000 barrels of oil per month.
Greenbriar has elected to account for it's oil and gas operations using the full cost method of accounting.
Gaywood was formed and acquired the leases in October 2002 however the production was insignificant until January of 2003. The following pro forma financial information reflects Greenbriar as if Gaywood had been acquired on January 1, 2003.

ACQUISITION OF GAYWOOD OIL AND GAS, LLC - Continued
The Company purchased Gaywood with 9.5% interest bearing bonds which were
carried at zero in the Company's financial statements. Gaywood was valued
by independent reserve engineers as having a fair market value of
$1,169,000 which was recorded as a gain by the Company. The purpose of this
acquisition was to acquire a cash flowing asset with future potential value
in excess of purchase price.
Gaywood was acquired from a trust for the benefit of Mr. Gene E. Phillips'
spouse and children. On October 16, 2003 Mr. Phillips and six other
entities filed a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission
indicating that the six entities owned, in total, 55,000 shares
(approximately 8% of the Company's outstanding common stock) and the entire
group may be deemed to constitute a person within the meaning of Section
13d of the Securities act of 1934.
SALE OF UNDEVELOPED LAND
On September 10, 2003 the Company sold on acre of undeveloped land for
$125,000 in cash to an entity which has been deemed to be an affiliate of
Gene E. Phillips. The sale resulted in a loss of approximately $111,000.
ACQUISITION OF GAINESVILLE OUTLET MALL, LLC
Effective December 10, 2003 the Company acquired Gainesville Outlet Mall,
LLC (Gainesville) a company that has approximately 315,000 square feet of
retail space available for lease in Gainesville, Texas. At the time of
acquisition Gainesville had approximately 65% of its retail space leased,
generating approximately $180,000 of gross rent revenue per month.
The Company paid approximately $800,000 in cash at closing, $200,000 in
earnest money and due diligence fees, and two short term obligations to pay
the seller approximately $5,571,000. The Company has negotiated long term
financing and anticipates closing on or before April 30, 2004.

Changes in the deferred tax valuation allowance result from assessments made by the Company each year of its expected future taxable income available to absorb its carryforwards. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2003 of $1,161,000 will be realized. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Accordingly, the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax asset could be less than the carrying amount.

The Series B preferred stock has a liquidation value of $100 per share and is convertible into common stock over a ten-year period at prices escalating from $500 per share in 1993 to $1,111 per share by 2002. The right to convert expires April 30, 2003. Dividends at a rate of 6% are payable in cash or preferred shares at the option of the Company.
In 1997, the Company established a long-term incentive plan (the 1997 Plan) for the benefit of certain key employees. Options granted to employees under the 1997 Plan become exercisable over a period as determined by the Company and may be exercised up to a maximum of 5 years from date of grant. The 1997 Plan allowed up to 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be reserved for issuance. In 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan, under which up to 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock are reserve for issuance.
The Company granted options to two officers during 1996 through 2001, aggregating 80,000 shares not covered by either plan. These options were granted at market, were exercisable immediately, and expire 10 years from date of grant.

NOTE M - WRITE-OFF OF IMPAIRED ASSETS
During 2001, the Company identified four properties that were not meeting performance expectations. These properties are in a geographic region where, after the transfer to LSOF, the Company does not have a significant presence. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company wrote these properties down to their net realizable value of $5,066,000 with a charge to earnings of $1,887,000. One of these properties was sold in 2002. The Company continues to hold the other three properties.
During 2002, the Company wrote off $266,000 related to a property it is attempting to sell. As of December 31, 2003 the Company is not aware of further impairment of remaining assets.
NOTE N - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND SALES OF REAL ESTATE
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes FASB SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and the accounting and reporting provisions for disposals of a segment of a business as addressed in APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and addresses various implementation issues of SFAS No. 121. In addition, SFAS No. 144 extends the reporting requirements of discontinued operations to include components of an entity that have either been disposed of or are classified as held for sale. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002.
During 2002, the Company disposed of six properties. Revenues for the six properties were $4,698,000 and $7,293,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 144 resulted in the presentation of the net operating results of these qualifying properties sold during 2002, as loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented. Losses on sale of these properties totaling $4,001,000 (including income tax expense of $440,000) are reflected as losses on sales of real estate from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Financial statements for 2001 have been reclassified to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on net earnings or loss.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, the results of operations and gains or losses on properties sold prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 144, are not reflected in discontinued operations. Therefore, the presentation of results of operations for 2002 is not comparable with 2001.
NOTE O - SEGMENTS
The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the business of acquiring, enhancing and selling real estate properties. Since 1996 those activities have, almost exclusively, involved assisted living facilities. Effective August 1, 2003 the Company acquired 100% of the stock in Gaywood Oil & Gas LLC, a limited liability company that owns working interests in certain oil producing wells. The acquisition was done for investment purposes and substantially all costs associated with the oil and gas operations are operating expenses incurred directly by Gaywood. The Company continues to allocate all of its corporate overhead expenses to its core real estate operation.

NOTE P - CONTINGENCIES
BENETIC FINANCIAL VS. WEDGWOOD ET AL:
This action is against a subsidiary of the Company as well as other corporate and individual defendants who are unrelated to the Company. In 1993, Wedgwood Retirement Inns entered into a financing arrangement with a third party lender. The plaintiff alleged that he had a verbal brokerage agreement with Wedgwood and was entitled to a fee. The Company acquired Wedgwood in 1996.
In a jury trial the plaintiff was awarded $150,000 on one count of his complaint. However, the jury found for the defendants on all other counts. In his final ruling the judge awarded the defendants legal fees that were in excess of the judgment. The plaintiff appealed and on April 30, 2003 the California Court of Appeals let the $150,000 stand but reversed the judge's award of legal fees. Based upon the ruling of the Court of Appeals the defendants are obligated for the judgment plus $165,093 in interest since 1993. The judgment is against all the defendants as a group.
The defendants have filed an appeal to the California Supreme Court but the appeal was denied. There are no further legal defenses available. There remains the issue of the allocation of the award among the defendants. Management has provided a reserve that it believes is sufficient to cover its expected liability in this matter.
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE EXAMINATION
In December 1991 the Company sold four nursing homes to a not-for-profit corporation in exchange for tax exempt bonds issued on behalf or the acquiring corporation by government authorities. In 1992, the bonds were converted to zero coupon status and their value was enhanced by substituting higher grade collateral. The substitute collateral which consisted of zero coupon U.S. Treasury obligations was placed in trust to defease the bonds, in exchange for the underlying mortgage. The bonds were then sold for approximately $67,000,000. A gain was recorded equal to the proceeds received by the Company of $8,333,000 after deducting transaction costs and the cost of the higher grade collateral.
On January 8, 2004 the Company was notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the form of a Section 6700 Pre-Assessment Letter that the IRS was considering assessing penalties under Section 6700 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of the Company's organization or assistance in connection with the issuance and sale of the bonds.
The transactions which the IRS is examining involved technically complex financial and legal issues and were undertaken on the advise of and reliance on the investment banking firm, the law firms that issued the tax exempt bond legal opinions and other professionals. The Company believed in 1992 and still believes that its actions were appropriate in all respects.
The Company and the IRS are engaged in negotiations regarding settling this twelve year old matter, however there is no assurance that any settlement will be achieved. In the absence of a settlement, the Company intends to contest the IRS's position in court. Any litigation may be expensive and time consuming however if this matter is litigated the Company believes that it will prevail on the merits. If the Company were unsuccessful in their negotiations or litigation, the loss could range from $267,000 to $8,333,000.
OTHER
The Company is defendant in various lawsuits generally arising in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Company is of the opinion that these lawsuits will not have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.
As discussed in Note F, the Company is guarantor of debt of a third party in the amount of $1,600,000.
