Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2004

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of American Retirement Villas Properties II, A California Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries (“the Partnership” or “ARVPII”) are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America can be condensed or omitted.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that the Partnership considers necessary for the fair presentation of its financial position and operating results. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, which is on file with the SEC.

The results of operations can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim consolidated financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.

Basis of Accounting

The Partnership’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries, which include limited partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Partnership has controlling interests, have been consolidated into the financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Carrying Value of Real Estate

Property, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation which is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Buildings and improvements		27.5 to 35 years
Leasehold property and improvements		Lease term or life of asset, if shorter
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		3 to 7 years

The Partnership’s management reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing recoverability, the Partnership’s management estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from using 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 upon the asset’s fair value. At June 30, 2004, the Partnership’s management does not believe that the carrying value or the depreciation periods of its long-lived assets require any material adjustment nor were any made during the quarter.

Use of Estimates

In the preparation of the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the following:

•

reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements;

•

disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and

•

reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash balances, the Partnership’s management considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Impound Accounts

The lenders hold certain Partnership funds in impound accounts for payment of property taxes, insurance premiums and future property improvements (replacement reserves) on these properties. The Partnership includes these impound accounts in other assets.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Partnership defers and amortizes financing costs using the effective interest method over the term of the respective notes payable. Amortization of deferred financing costs is recorded in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Residency agreements with residents are on a month-to-month basis. The Partnership applies advance deposits to the first month’s rent. Revenue is recognized in the period in which services are provided. Amounts received in advance of the period the services are performed are deferred and recorded as tenant prepaid rents and assisted living services.

General Liability Insurance

The Partnership is insured for losses and liabilities associated with general and professional liability claims subject to established deductible levels on a per occurrence basis. Losses up to these deductible levels are accrued based upon the Partnership’s estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred based on the Partnership’s experience and appropriate actuarial principles.

Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

The Partnership based net income per limited partner unit on the weighted-average number of limited partner units outstanding of 35,020 in the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Special Limited Partners’ and the General Partner’s share of earnings, 1% for both, is deducted from earnings before computing earnings per limited partner unit. During April 2004, the General Partner acquired all of the four Special Limited Partnership interests.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003 and as revised in December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 revised, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51, which requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. Prior to FIN No. 46, a company included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN No. 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that the company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. Effective January 1, 2004, the Partnership adopted FIN No. 46. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement to classify gains and losses from the extinguishment of indebtedness as extraordinary, requires certain lease modifications to be treated the same as a sale-leaseback transaction, and makes other technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The Partnership’s adoption of SFAS No. 145 in 2003 has had no material effect on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation of (“FIN”) No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees and Indebtedness of Others,” an interpretation of SFAS Nos. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FIN No. 34, “Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN No. 45 elaborates on the disclosure requirements for the annual and interim financial statements of the guarantor. It also requires that a guarantor recognize a liability at the inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The Partnership adopted the recognition and measurement provision of FIN No. 45 beginning January 1, 2003, while the disclosure provisions became effective at December 31, 2002. Adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

The Partnership has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the June 30, 2004 presentation.

(2) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Partnership has an agreement with ARV Assisted Living, Inc. (“ARV”), the Partnership’s Managing General Partner and a wholly owned subsidiary of Atria Senior Living Group, Inc. (“Atria”), providing for a property management fee of five percent of gross revenues amounting to $651,000 and $587,000 for the six-month periods and $336,000 and $292,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, the Partnership accrues a partnership management fee of ten percent of cash flow before distributions, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, which amounted to $132,000 and $99,000 for the six-month periods and $59,000 and $36,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Partnership has significant transactions with affiliates. Had the Partnership been operated as an unaffiliated entity, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements could have been materially different.

On March 24, 2004, ARVP II Acquisition, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of ARV, filed with the SEC an Offer to Purchase for Cash on Schedule 14A relating to (i) a tender offer for all of the limited partnership units of the Partnership that ARV does not own and (ii) a solicitation of the holders of the outstanding units for consent to a proposal to effect a merger transaction pursuant to which ARV would acquire the entire equity interest in the Partnership. The offer period for limited partners to both tender their units and vote on the proposed merger has been extended through August 26, 2004.

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Other than the ordinary routine litigation that is incidental to, and arises in the normal course of, the business of the Partnership, there are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership. While the Partnership cannot predict the results with certainty, it does not believe that any liability from any such lawsuits or other matters will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

•

the increase in average occupancy to 85.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 80.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003; and

•

the average rental rate per occupied unit increased to $2,223 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with $2,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Interest and other revenue increased $15,000, or 6.7%, from $225,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 to $240,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to an increase in net new resident processing fees.

Rental property operations expenses increased $616,000, or 9.8%, from $6,285,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 to $6,901,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to increases in payroll and related benefits expense as well as an increase in other expenses such as food; repairs and maintenance; and equipment rental expense.

Assisted living expenses increased $189,000, or 14.1%, from $1,341,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 to $1,530,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to an increase in payroll and related benefits.

Community rent expense increased $32,000, or 17.3%, from $185,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 to $217,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to higher additional rent payments as a result of increased revenues in one of the Partnership’s leased communities.

Property tax expense increased $79,000, or 27.6%, from $286,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 to $365,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 due to higher tax assessments in 2004.

The decrease in interest expense of $41,000, or 2.3%, was due to principal repayments of the outstanding loan balances and a decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs.

The following table sets forth a comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2004 and the three months ended June 30, 2003.

The decrease in interest expense of $18,000, or 2.0%, was due to principal repayments of the outstanding loan balances and a decrease in amortization of deferred financing costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On a long-term basis, the Partnership’s liquidity is sustained primarily from cash flow provided by operating activities. With respect to distributions of cash flow from operations, the Managing General Partner is currently assessing both the capital improvement and operating needs of the Partnership and attempting to determine the amount of funds necessary to satisfactorily meet those needs. Consequently, pending that determination, the Partnership’s ability to make future distributions of cash flow to the Partners, if any, will remain uncertain and the amount, if any, that might be distributed cannot be predicted.

The Partnership’s management expects that cash generated from the operations of the Partnership’s properties will be adequate to pay operating expenses and current capital requirements for the next 12 months. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 cash provided by operating activities was $837,000 compared with $967,000 during the six-month period ending June 30, 2003. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in amounts receivable from affiliates.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, cash used in investing activities was $458,000 compared to $556,000 used during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. The decrease resulted from lower capital expenditures at the communities during 2004. Management contemplates spending approximately $784,000 for recurring capital expenditures during 2004 for physical improvements at the communities while it continues to assess long-term capital improvement needs.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 cash generated in financing activities was $62,000 as compared to cash used totaling $10,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. This change was primarily due to a decrease in the impound accounts.

The Partnership’s management believes that it maintains adequate insurance coverage, based on the nature and risks of its business, historical experience and industry standards. The Partnership’s business entails an inherent risk of liability. In recent years, the Partnership and other assisted living providers have become subject to an increasing number of lawsuits alleging negligence or related legal theories, which may involve large claims and significant legal costs. From time to time the Partnership is subject to such suits because of the nature of its business. Claims may arise that could exceed, or be excluded from, the Partnership’s insurance coverage limits or policies.

The Managing General Partner is not aware of any trends, other than national economic conditions, which have had or which may be reasonably expected to have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on revenues or income from the Partnership’s operations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION, DEFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

To date, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Partnership. Inflation could, however, affect future revenues and operating income due to the Partnership’s dependence on the senior resident population, most of whom rely on relatively fixed incomes to pay for services. The monthly charges for the resident’s unit and assisted living services are influenced by the location of the community and local competition. The Partnership’s ability to increase revenues in proportion to increased operating expenses may be limited. Operations do not typically rely to a significant extent on governmental reimbursement programs. In pricing services, the Partnership attempts to anticipate inflation levels, but there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to respond to inflationary pressures in the future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

A number of matters and subject areas discussed in this report, that are not historical or contain current facts, deal with potential future circumstances, operations, and prospects. The discussion of these matters and subject areas is qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, and also may materially differ from actual future experience as a result of such factors as: the effects of competition and economic conditions on the occupancy levels in the communities; the Partnership’s ability under current market conditions to maintain and increase resident charges without adversely affecting the occupancy level; the Partnership’s ability to control community operation expenses without adversely affecting the occupancy level and the level of resident charges; the ability of the Partnership’s operations to generate cash flow sufficient to service the Partnership’s debt, capital expenditures and other fixed payment requirements; and the Partnership’s ability to find sources of financing and capital on satisfactory terms to meet cash requirements to the extent that they are not met by operations. Management has attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors that they currently believe may cause actual future results to differ from current expectations regarding the matters or subject areas discussed in this report. These and other risks and uncertainties are detailed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Partnership is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in the interest rates on the fixed rate notes payable. With respect to the Partnership’s fixed rate notes payable, changes in the interest rates affect the fair value of the notes payable, but not the Partnership’s earnings or cash flows. The Partnership does not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant impact on the fixed rate debt until the earlier of maturity and any required refinancing of such debt. The Partnership does not currently have any variable interest rate debt and, therefore, is not subject to interest rate risk associated with variable interest rate debt. Currently, the Partnership does not utilize interest rate swaps.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Partnership’s Managing General Partner, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of ARV have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly

report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their evaluation.
