                           ILM II SENIOR LIVING, INC.
                         ENTERS INTO TECHNICAL AMENDMENT
                        OF PENDING MERGER AGREEMENT WITH
                       CAPITAL SENIOR LIVING CORPORATION,
                       INTENDS TO DISTRIBUTE SANTA BARBARA
                       SALES PROCEEDS TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS
                      AND INTENDS TO RESUME THE PAYMENT OF
                     DIVIDENDS ON SHARES OF ITS COMMON STOCK

December 1, 2000, Tyson's Corner, Virginia: ILM II Senior Living, Inc. today
announced that it has extended until March 31, 2001 the outside termination date
of its pending merger agreement with Capital Senior Living Corporation (NYSE:
CSU) and that it has entered into with Capital a technical amendment to the
merger agrpeement providing, among other things, that subject to the ILM II
Board's fiduciary duties to shareholders, Capital will have until March 31, 2001
to obtain definitive financing sufficient for Capital to complete its merger
previously approved by ILM II's shareholders at a special meeting held on June
22, 2000.

The merger of ILM II with Capital was scheduled to be consummated on or prior to
September 30, 2000 but has not been consummated to date. Capital had not
obtained sufficient financing to complete the merger by September 30, 2000.

In connection with the amendment, Capital agreed, after March 31, 2001 to a
termination of all of its rights of first and last offer it may have with
respect to the sale by ILM II to a third party of its common stock, its
ownership interest in ILM II Holding, Inc. and/or the sale of ILM II's senior
living properties and assets, and to reduce from $1,858,200 to $1,000,000 the
amount of certain termination fees payable by ILM II to Capital under certain
limited circumstances. All other terms of the merger agreement remain in effect.

The pending merger agreement provides for consideration of $13.04 per share of
outstanding ILM II common stock. In view of the previously announced sale to
Capital of ILM II's interest in the Santa Barbara, California senior living
facility, the ILM II Board intends to distribute on December 15, 2000, the
proceeds of such sale on a pro rata basis in the form of a return of invested
capital, to shareholders of record as of November 1, 2000. The aggregate cash
distribution will be approximately $9,800,000 representing the gross proceeds
from the sale, less certain built-in gains taxes, and is equivalent to the
payment of approximately $1.89 per share of the $13.04 per share of merger
consideration. The remaining approximate $11.15 per share would be payable by
Capital to ILM II's shareholders upon completion of the merger in accordance
with the merger agreement.

There can be no assurance that Capital will be able to obtain the requisite
financing to complete the merger or, even if obtained, that the merger otherwise
will be consummated.



ILM II separately announced today that although it has not yet declared a
dividend, ILM II's Board of Directors has reevaluated its dividend policy and
intends to resume its policy of paying quarterly cash dividends to holders of
its common stock, beginning in January 2001.
