If the offer is further extended, the Purchaser will issue a press release no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the next business day after the day on which the offer and consent solicitation were previously scheduled to expire. Unitholders who have already validly tendered their units will receive $400 per unit in accordance with the Offer to Purchase, unless they withdraw their units in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. As of the close of business on August 26, 2004, approximately 9,300.921 units, or approximately 55.70% of all outstanding units (other than units held by ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its affiliates) had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. The Purchaser is offering to purchase all the units (other than units held by ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its affiliates) at a price of $400 per unit in cash, less the amount of any cash distributions made or declared with respect to the units on or after March 24, 2004, in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase. ARV Assisted Living, Inc., the general partner of the Partnership, directly or indirectly wholly-owns the Purchaser, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atria Senior Living Group, Inc.

In connection with the fairness hearing held on August 25, 2004 before the California Corporations Commissioner regarding the proposed merger of the Purchaser with and into the Partnership described in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchaser provided an updated analysis of its estimated liquidation value per unit in response to a query from an interested limited partner. Utilizing the same assumptions and methodology in the Offer to Purchase, and based upon the Partnership's most recently reported unaudited financial information from the Partnership's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2004, the Purchaser estimates the liquidation value per unit to be $374.17, as shown below:

1 Consists of cash ($4,510,000) and net working capital ($540,000) as of June 30, 2004. Net working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities. As shown above, the Offer Price of $400 continues to represent a premium to the Purchaser's estimate of the liquidation value per Partnership unit of $374.14. The Offer Price also exceeds the prices paid in the most recent secondary market sales transactions reported to the Partnership and effective in January, February and April, 2004, in which units were purchased at a price of $325 per Unit, less the $150 transfer fee payable by the seller. At the conclusion of the fairness hearing, the hearing officer stated that he would take under consideration the request for approval of the proposed merger as well as the documents and information submitted into the record with respect to the transaction, and that he expected to issue a decision on whether to issue a permit approving the proposed merger on behalf of the California Corporations Commissioner within 10 to 14 days. As announced by the Purchaser on August 13, 2004, as of the close of business on Thursday, August 12, 2004, a total of 8387.8 units, or approximately 50.23% of all outstanding units (other than units owned by ARV or its affiliates) had been voted in favor of the proposed merger. As a result of the Purchaser's receipt of sufficient consents approving the proposed merger, all votes previously delivered in the consent solicitation have become effective and may not be changed. Accordingly, unitholders are not required to take any further action with respect to the consent solicitation. Unitholders who wish to receive the $400 per unit offer price must complete the Agreement of Assignment and Transfer previously sent to unitholders in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and deliver it to the Purchaser's information agent to the attention of American Retirement Villas Properties II, c/o ACS Securities Services, Inc., 3988 N.
