                       (a California limited partnership)
                    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

                             June 30, 1999 and 1998

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We prepared the accompanying condensed financial statements of American
Retirement Villas Properties II, L.P. following the requirements 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 generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") can be
condensed or omitted.

The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that we
consider necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and
operating results. These are condensed financial statements. To obtain a more
detailed understanding of our results, one should also read the financial
statements and notes in our Form 10-K for 1998, 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 financial statements may not be the same
as those for the full year.

USE OF ESTIMATES

In preparing the financial statements conforming with GAAP, we have made
estimates and assumptions that affect the following:

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

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

        o  reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
           period.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

We have an agreement with ARV Assisted Living, Inc. ("ARV"), our Managing
General Partner, providing for a property management fee of five percent of
gross revenues amounting to $259,000 and $244,000 for the three month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Additionally, we pay to ARV a
partnership management fee of 10 percent of cash flow before distributions, as
defined in the Partnership Agreement, which amounted to $128,000 and $118,000
for the three month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

(3) PURCHASE OF PREVIOUSLY LEASED COMMUNITIES

On September 27, 1996, we filed actions seeking declaratory judgements against
the landlords of the Retirement Inn of Campbell ("Campbell") and the Retirement
Inn of Sunnyvale ("Sunnyvale"). We leased the Campbell and Sunnyvale ALCs under
long-term leases, which were assumed when the ALCs were acquired. A dispute
arose as to the amount of rent due during the 10-year lease renewal periods that
commenced in August 1995 for Campbell and March 1996 for Sunnyvale.

Two other communities we leased, the Retirement Inn of Fremont and the
Retirement Inn at Burlingame were owned by entities that are related to the
entities that own the Campbell and Sunnyvale communities. We mutually negotiated
the terms of a purchase agreement involving the sale of the landlords' fee
interest in all four ALCs and the litigation has been dismissed.



                                       5

Previously, on March 2, 1999, we obtained a bridge loan of approximately $14.7
million, enabling us to purchase four previously leased communities from our
landlords based upon mutually negotiated terms until we could secure more
permanent financing. The bridge loan was refinanced June 28, 1999 with proceeds
from the Banc One loan (Note 4).

(4) NOTE PAYABLE

On June 28, 1999, we obtained financing from Banc One on the 8 owned
communities. As part of the loan requirements, we established a wholly owned
subsidiary Retirement Inns II, LLC. The loan is for 24 months and is secured by
the properties; in addition, ARV Assisted Living, our general partner is a
guarantor on the loan for fraud, material misrepresentation and certain
covenants. The loan includes a lender option to extend for 10 years. The
interest rate is 9.15% and the payments are based upon a 25 year principal and
interest amortization schedule.

The increase in assisted living community revenue is attributable to:

        o  an increase in assisted living penetration to 56% for the six month
           period ended June 30, 1999 compared with 52% for the six month period
           ended June 30, 1998;

        o  an increase in average rate per occupied unit to $1,746 per month for
           the six month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared with $1,477 per
           month the six month period ended June 30, 1998;

        o  an increase in average rate for our assisted living communities to
           $511 for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared with
           $496 for the six month period ended June 30, 1998.

The increase in assisted living operating expenses is attributable to:

        o  staffing requirements related to increased assisted living services
           provided; and

        o  increased wages of staff.

The decrease in communities rent is due to the purchase, during March 1999, of
four previously leased communities.

General and administrative and advertising expenses remained relatively constant
between periods.

The increase in depreciation and amortization is due to the four previously
leased communities that now are owned and incurring depreciation and
amortization expense. In addition, the increase in interest expense is also
related to the loans for the purchase, in March 1999, of four previously leased
communities.

</TABLE>

The increase in assisted living community revenue is attributable to:

        o  an increase in assisted living penetration to 55% for the three month
           period ended June 30, 1999 compared with 52% for the three month
           period ended June 30, 1998;

        o  an increase in average rental rate per occupied unit to $1,746 for
           the three month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared with $1,471
           the three month period ended June 30, 1998; and

        o  an increase in average rate for our assisted living communities to
           $511 for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared with
           $495 for the three month period ended June 30, 1998.

The increase in assisted living operating expenses is attributable to:

        o  staffing requirements related to increased assisted living services
           provided; and

        o  increased salaries of staff.

General and administrative and advertising expenses remained constant between
periods.

The increase in interest expense is related to the loans for the purchase of
four previously leased communities during March 1999.

The increase in depreciation and amortization is due to the four previously
leased communities that now are owned and incurring depreciation and
amortization expense. In addition, the increase in interest expense is also
related to the loans for the purchase, in March 1999, of four previously leased
communities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We expect that the cash to be generated from operations of all our properties
will be adequate to pay operating expenses, make necessary capital improvements,
meet required principal reductions of debt and make quarterly distributions. On
a long-term basis, our liquidity is sustained primarily from cash flow provided
by operating activities.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, cash provided by operating
activities decreased $2.0 million to $69 thousand compared to $2.0 million for
the corresponding period in 1998. Distributions payable to the partners and
unrestricted cash were high at quarter end. The distribution to partners was
paid out in July.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, our net cash used in investing
activities increased to $15.3 million compared to $0.4 million for the
corresponding period in 1998. The increase was a result of a purchase our
landlords' interests in four previously leased assisted living communities,
capital expenditures required to qualify for the refinancing and fumigation
costs of $0.3 million. Capital expenditures exceeded budget as we were required
to do numerous capital expenditures to qualify for the refinancing.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, our net cash provided by
financing activities was $23.8 million compared to cash used in financing
activities of $1.2 million for the corresponding period in 1998. The cash
provided by financing activities was the



                                       7
<PAGE>   8


result of a $14.7 million bridge loan which enabled us to purchase four
previously leased communities from our landlords and the refinancing of the 8
owned properties. As part of the $39.2 million Banc One refinancing we were able
to pay down the bridge loan of $14.7 million.

At June 30, 1999, of our ten assisted living communities, 8 are owned directly,
one is operated under a long-term operating lease, and one is owned subject to a
ground lease.

We are 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 the revenues or income from the operations or sale of
properties. We believe that if the inflation rate increases we will be able to
pass the subsequent increase in operating expenses onto the residents of the
communities by way of higher rental and assisted living rates. The
implementation of price increases is intended to lead to an increase in revenue
however, those increases may result in an initial decline in occupancy and/or a
delay in increasing occupancy. If this occurs, revenues may remain constant or
even decline.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

General

We use certain computer programs that were written using two digits rather than
four to define the year. As a result, those programs may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. In the event this were to occur
with any of our computer programs, a system failure or miscalculation causing
disruptions of operations could occur. Such a failure could cause the temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal
business activities. We have developed a comprehensive program to test and
modify our information technology to address the Year 2000 Issue. We believe
that our program is on schedule for completion by the end of 1999, and that
there will be no material impact on our business, results of operations,
financial position or liquidity as a result of Year 2000 Issues.

Program

Our program is focused on the following three main projects:

        o  information technology infrastructure - all of our hardware and
           software systems;

        o  community maintenance - community specific systems, including alarms
           (security, fire and emergency call), elevator, phone, HVAC, and other
           systems; and

        o  third party suppliers/vendors.

For each component, we are addressing the Year 2000 Issues in the following six
phases:

        o  taking inventory of systems with potential Year 2000 Issues;

        o  assigning priorities to systems identified with Year 2000 Issues;

        o  assessing items which may have a material effect on our operations;

        o  testing items assessed as material;

        o  replacing or repairing material non-compliant items; and

        o  designing and implementing business continuation plans.

We have initiated communications with the third-party providers of certain of
our administrative services, as well as our significant suppliers of services
and products, to determine the extent to which we are vulnerable to those
parties' failures to remediate their own Year 2000 Issues. We completed our
evaluation of those suppliers during the third quarter of 1998. We do not
presently believe that third party Year 2000 issues will have a material adverse
effect on us. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which our operations or systems rely will be remedied on a timely
basis or that a failure by another company to remediate its systems in a timely
manner would not have a material adverse effect on us.

Costs



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

We have successfully converted our accounting system over to a Year 2000
compliant system. We expect to successfully implement the other changes
necessary to address our Year 2000 Issues, and do not believe that the cost of
such actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations or liquidity. We are currently unable to assess the costs
to remediate any Year 2000 Issues that may result from the assessment.

Risks

We believe that our Year 2000 program will be completed by the end of the third
quarter of 1999. Our program's schedule is based on a number of factors and
assumptions, such as:

        o  the accuracy and completeness of responses to our inquiries; and

        o  the availability of skilled personnel to complete the program.

Our program's schedule could be adversely impacted if either of the factors and
assumptions is incorrect. The failure to correct a material Year 2000 Issue
could result in an interruption in our normal business operations. There can be
no assurance, however, that there will not be delays in, or increased costs
associated with, the implementation of such changes, and our inability to
implement such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results, and financial condition.

We intend to determine if contingency plans are needed for any aspect of our
business with respect to Year 2000 Issues (including most likely worst case Year
2000 scenarios), and to create those contingency plans by the end of the third
quarter of 1999.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 27, 1996, we filed actions seeking declaratory judgements against
the landlords of the Retirement Inn of Campbell ("Campbell") and the Retirement
Inn of Sunnyvale ("Sunnyvale"). We leased the Campbell and Sunnyvale ALCs under
long-term leases, which were assumed when the ALCs were acquired. A dispute
arose as to the amount of rent due during the 10-year lease renewal periods that
commenced in August 1995 for Campbell and March 1996 for Sunnyvale.

Two other communities we leased, the Retirement Inn of Fremont and the
Retirement Inn at Burlingame were owned by entities that are related to the
entities that own the Campbell and Sunnyvale communities. We have mutually
negotiated the terms of a purchase agreement involving the sale of the
