Mr. Samir Manji, Chairman, President and CEO of Amica commented: “The first quarter of the 2010 fiscal year was a challenging one, particularly from an occupancy standpoint. While we continue to see progress being made with the leasing at our new communities opened over the past 19 months, occupancy levels at our mature communities continued to decline during the quarter, thereby impacting our overall financial results.”
