ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

American Retirement Villas Properties II ("ARVP II" or the "Partnership")
operates ten assisted living facilities in the state of California, five of
which it owns and five of which it leases. These facilities house and provide
personal care and support services to its senior residents. The ten facilities
contain an aggregate of 941 units. For the twelve months ended December 31,
1996, ARVP II's facilities had a total average occupancy of approximately 93% as
compared to 94% for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995.

ARVP II was founded in February 1988 as a California limited partnership to
develop, finance, acquire, and operate senior housing, inclusive of assisted
living facilities. The general partners of ARVP II are ARV Assisted Living,
Inc., ("ARVAL"), which serves as Managing General Partner, Gary L. Davidson,
John A. Booty, John S. Jason, and Tony Rota (collectively known as the "General
Partners").

On May 16, 1996, ARVAL tendered for the limited partnership units in ARVP II, at
a net cash price per unit of $720. At the close of the tender offer on June 21,
1996, holders of approximately 15,519 units tendered their shares representing
approximately 44% of all outstanding units. On July 26, 1996, ARVAL initiated a
second tender offer to purchase up to 3,715 additional limited partnership units
at a net cash price of $720 per unit less second quarter distributions. At the
close of the second tender offer on August 23, 1996, holders of approximately
2,148 units tendered their shares representing approximately 6.2% of all units.
When added to the previously acquired and owned units, ARVAL owns 17,776 units
or approximately 50.8% of the limited partnership units. As such, ARVAL has a
controlling interest in the Partnership.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Assisted living represents a combination of housing, personalized support
services, and health care designed to respond to the individual needs of the
senior elderly who need help in activities of daily living, but do not need the
higher acuity medical care provided in a skilled nursing facility. The assisted
living market can be viewed as falling near the middle of the elder care
continuum, between home-based care at one end and long-term skilled nursing
facilities and acute care hospitals at the other.

The Registrant believes the assisted living industry will benefit from several
significant trends affecting the long-term care industry. These are as follows:

Demographic trends: While increasing numbers of Americans are living longer and
healthier lives, many gradually require increasing assistance with activities of
daily living, and are not able to continue to age in place at home. The typical
resident at an assisted living facility is over the age of 65 with the largest
percentage of residents around 84 years of age. This group represents one of the
fastest growing segments of the population. According to the U.S. Bureau of the
Census data, the number of people in the U.S. age 65 and older is expected to 
increase over 16% from 


                                                                               3

1996 to 2010. Moreover, the segment of the population 85 years of age or older
is projected to increase more than 51% between the years of 1996 to 2010.

Another trend benefiting the assisted living industry is the increased affluence
of the elderly population with incomes sufficient to afford assisted living.
According to the National Planning Data Corporation Senior Life Report, in 1990,
1.9 million people over the age of 80 were estimated to have incomes over
$15,000. By 1998, this number is projected to reach approximately 3.3 million
people, which is an increase of 74%.

Historically, seniors were taken care of by their children, however, the
increased number of two wage earner families has reduced the supply of in-home
care givers who are able to care for their elderly relatives at home. At the
same time, the number of elderly people living alone has increased dramatically
which can be attributed to rising divorce rates, lifestyle choices and longevity
patterns. Assisted living facilities have, and will continue to, fill this void
as the number of seniors without a family support system at home who need
assistance in their daily activities increases.

Health care cost containment: In response to rapidly rising health care costs in
this country, both the federal government and private pay sources have adopted
cost containment measures that have encouraged reduced length of stay in
hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. According to the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Resources, approximately 25% to 40% of all nursing home
residents could be cared for in a less institutional and more cost effective
environment. Assisted living offers a cost effective alternative for those
individuals who do not require the level of medical services provided by
hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.

Limited number of nursing home beds: The majority of states in the U.S. have
enacted "Certificates of Need" or similar legislation, which generally limits
the construction of skilled nursing facilities and the addition of beds or
services in existing skilled nursing facilities. This legislation, coupled with
higher construction costs, limitations on government reimbursement for the full
cost of construction and start-up expenses also acts to constrain growth in the
supply of such facilities. Such restrictive legislation benefits the assisted
living industry by limiting the supply of skilled nursing beds for the senior
elderly. Moreover, cost factors are placing pressure on skilled nursing
facilities to shift their focus toward higher acuity care thus creating a
shortage of lower acuity care availability, and thereby increasing the pool of
potential assisted living residents.

SERVICES

The Registrant provides services and care which are designed to meet the
individual needs of its residents. The services provided are designed to enhance
both the physical and mental well-being of the senior resident in each of the
Registrant's facilities by promoting their independence and dignity in a
homelike setting. The assisted living program at the Registrant's facilities
include:

Personalized Care Plan - A primary element of the Registrant's strategy is the
concept of "personalized" care to meet each resident's specific needs. This
concept of customizing services to meet the needs of the residents begins with
the resident admissions process, where the facility's management staff, the
resident, the resident's family, and the resident's physician, discuss the
resident's needs and develop a plan for the resident's care. If recommended by

                                                                               4

<PAGE>   5

the resident's physician, additional health care or medical services may be
provided at the facility by a third party home health care agency or other
medical provider.

Basic Service and Care Package - The basic service and care package at the
Registrant's assisted living facilities generally includes the following: meals
in a communal, "home-like" setting, housekeeping, linen and laundry service,
social and recreational programs, security, utilities, and transportation. Other
care services can be provided under the basic package based upon the
individual's personalized health care plan.

Additional Services - The Registrant has designed additional assisted living
services in a three-tier program available to residents on a personalized basis.
These services are described as follows:

      o     Level One: Assistance to residents in the self-administration of
            medication. Where necessary, the assisted living staff will consult
            with the family, the physician or the insurance company of a
            resident to designate a home health care agency to administer the
            appropriate medication.

      o     Level Two: In addition to the services provided under Level One,
            assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming, escorting to and
            from meals and activities, reading mail, writing letters, shopping
            and other specialized activities. These services are provided on an
            as-needed basis and at the convenience of the resident within the
            overall operation of the facility.

      o     Level Three: All of the services provided by Level One and Two, and,
            in addition, provision of those services on a 24-hour basis.
            Further, this level provides appropriate services for individuals
            who require assistance with incontinence.

COMPETITION

Assisted living providers compete principally on the basis of the quality of
care, breadth of services offered, location and facility appearance, price and
reputation. Due to the changing demographics in the United States and the
favorable attention that the assisted living industry has recently received,
ARVP II expects increasing competitive pressure in the future. Currently, ARVP
II competes not only with other assisted living providers but also with a number
of healthcare service providers from home healthcare companies, retirement
communities and facilities, and, to a lesser extent, convalescent center and
nursing homes. Many of these competitors are national and regional companies
with greater financial resources than those of ARVP II. However, management
believes that most of the competitive pressure will come from local and regional
long-term care providers within same geographical area as its prospective
residents who tend to move to facilities near their home.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Assisted living facilities are subject to certain state regulations and
licensing requirements. In order to qualify as a state licensed facility,
assisted living facilities must comply with regulations which address, among
other things, building codes and other ordinances, including fire safety codes,
staffing requirements, required services and care standards and resident
characteristics. The state of California requires an inspection at least once
per year and as 


                                                                               5

<PAGE>   6

often as necessary to ensure that the health, safety and personal rights of the
residents are protected. Currently, all ten facilities are licensed and in
substantial compliance with state regulations.

No significant changes in the state regulations are expected in the near future
that would materially impact the business.

EMPLOYEES

Personnel at each of the Registrant's ten facilities are employees of ARVAL. As
of December 31, 1996, approximately 350 people were employed at the ten
facilities. While none of ARVAL's employees are currently unionized, any
unionization of workers in the assisted living industry or at the Registrant's
facilities could increase labor costs. No assurances can be given that the
facilities labor costs will not increase, or if they do increase, that they can
be matched by corresponding increases in rental or management revenue. In
addition, a shortage of qualified personnel may require ARVAL to enhance its
wage and benefits package in order to compete with other providers of assisted
living and senior housing to attract and retain qualified individuals.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 27, 1996, the Partnership filed actions seeking declaratory
judgements against the landlords of the Retirement Inn of Campbell ("Campbell")
and the Retirement Inn of Sunnyvale ("Sunnyvale"). The Partnership leases the
Campbell and Sunnyvale assisted living facilities under long-term leases. A
dispute has arisen as to the amount of rent due during the 10-year lease renewal
periods which commenced in August 1995 for Campbell and March 1996 for
Sunnyvale. The Partnership seeks a determination that the Partnership is not
required to pay any higher rent during the 10-year renewal periods than during
the original 20-year lease terms.

In the event that the court finds against the Partnership, rent for the Campbell
and Sunnyvale facilities could increase significantly, which will reduce
distributions to Unitholders in the future. These rent increases would be
retroactive to the commencement of the lease renewal periods.

Two other facilities leased by the Partnership, the Retirement Inn of Fremont
("Fremont") and the Retirement Inn at Burlingame ("Burlingame"), are owned by
entities which are related to the entities that own the Campbell and Sunnyvale
facilities. It is not known whether the landlords of those facilities will
dispute the amount of rent due during the renewal periods which began January
1997 for Fremont and beginning August 1997 for Burlingame. If so, the
Partnership may be required to file litigation to determine the rights under
those leases as 


                                                                               8

well. As of March 25, 1997, no threat of litigation has been made by the
landlords of the Retirement Inn of Fremont or the Retirement Inn at Burlingame.


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to Unitholders during the fiscal year.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

There is no established public trading market for the Registrant's securities.
The Registrant repurchased and retired 5 Partnership Units in June 1990. As
noted in Item 1, ARVAL, the Managing General Partner of ARVP II, tendered for
the limited partnership units in ARVP II in May 1996 and July 1996. Following
the close of the second tender offer in August 1996, ARVAL owned 17,776 limited
partnership units or approximately 50.8% of all outstanding units.

As of December 31, 1996, there were approximately 1,828 Unitholders of record
owning 35,019.88 Units. For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
the Registrant made limited partner distributions of $60.77 per Unit, $64.28 per
Unit and $55.45 per Unit, respectively. The return of capital to the Unitholders
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $16.22, $39.57 and
$55.45, respectively. There were distributions of earnings for the years ending
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 of $44.55, $24.71 and $-0-, respectively.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY.

On a long-term basis, the Registrant's liquidity is sustained primarily from
cash flow provided by operating activities. During 1996, net cash provided by
operating activities was approximately $3.3 million compared to $3.0 million and
$2.6 million for 1995 and 1994, respectively.


                                                                              10

<PAGE>   11

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's note payable with a principal balance
of approximately $323,000 secured by a first deed of trust encumbering the
Retirement Inn of Fullerton had matured. The maturity date of the loan was
initially extended to March 10, 1997. Subsequently, the maturity date of the
loan was again extended to May 10, 1997. It is the Managing General Partner's
intention to seek a longer term extension of the maturity date of this loan or
find suitable replacement financing.

In addition to the Partnership's maturing debts, the Managing General Partner
has commenced a refurbishment program in order to repair and maintain the
physical plant of the Partnership's facilities. Given the age of the facilities
(ages range from 11 to 23 years with an average age of 19.5 years), the Managing
General Partner has determined the necessity of certain repairs and improvements
currently budgeted to cost $1.4 million. Approximately $207,000 of these repairs
will be reimbursed to the Partnership from replacement reserves which the
Partnership has established with the lender on Valley View Lodge, and Montego
Heights Lodge. The remaining $1.2 million will be funded from cash flow of the
Partnership.

As a result of the planned repairs, and due to the uncertainty of a future
extension of the maturity date or refinancing of the Partnership's maturing
debt, the Managing General Partner believes that distributions of cash flow from
operations will either be reduced or eliminated to the Partners over the near
term. To the extent an extension of the maturity date is obtained, or the loan
is refinanced, the General Partners expect that the cash to be generated from
operations of the Partnership's properties will be adequate to pay operating
expenses, make necessary capital improvements and make required principal
reductions of loans.

During 1996, the Registrant used net cash in investing activities of
approximately $748,000 compared to $891,000 and $389,000 for 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The primary investing activities consist of the purchase of
carpeting, heating/air conditioning and elevator repairs. These three items
represent approximately $265,000 of the cash used in investing activities in
1996.

During 1996, the Registrant used net cash in financing activities of
approximately $2.6 million compared to $2.2 million and $1.9 million for 1995
and 1994, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities is the
result of principal reductions of debt made by the Partnership.

The General Partners 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 revenues or income from the
operations or sale of properties. The General Partners believe that if the
inflation rate increases they will be able to pass the subsequent increases in
operating expenses onto the residents at the properties by way of higher rental
and assisted living rates. The Registrant has long term debt of approximately
$6.6 million, as of December 31, 1996 of which $323,000 is due on March 10, 1997
(which amount was subsequently extended to May 10, 1997).

CAPITAL RESOURCES.

Registrant contemplates spending approximately $1.4 million for capital
expenditures during 1997 for physical improvements at its ten facilities. The
Registrant expects that the funds for these improvements should be available
from operations or Registrant's replacement reserves.



                                                                              11

<PAGE>   12

Other than as disclosed above, there are no known material trends, favorable or
unfavorable, in the Registrant's capital resources, and there is no expected
change in the mix of such resources.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Revenue for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, includes rental
income and assisted living revenue from ten facilities, interest earned on cash
balances and other revenue. In 1996 and 1995 the Registrant's rental revenue
increased over prior years due to higher aggregate occupancy levels and rental
rates and increased utilization of assisted living services. Total revenue for
the year ended December 31, 1996, were $17.8 million compared to $17.0 million
and $16.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively.

The largest component of revenue, rent, increased by approximately 2% from 1995
to 1996 and by approximately 5% from 1994 to 1995. During 1996, the increase in
rent was primarily due to an increase in rental rates offset by a slight decline
in occupancy. During 1995, the increase was due to an increase of 4% in 
occupancy and an increase in rental rates of 3% from 1994 to 1995.

Revenue from assisted living increased by 24% from 1995 to 1996 and 17% from
1994 to 1995. The increase in assisted living was due to aggressive marketing of
the assisted living services and the resulting increase in the number of
residents using the program.

Interest and other revenue increased by 12% from 1995 to 1996 after having
decreased by 11% from 1994 to 1995. Interest income results from interest earned
on cash deposits. Other revenue generally includes processing fees and beauty
shop revenue.

Sources of revenue for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 are
summarized as follows:

                                           =========     =========     =========
</TABLE>

Total costs and expenses for the years ended 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $16.3
million, $16.1 million and $16.1 million respectively.

The largest component of expenses, rental property operations, consists
primarily of property management costs, payroll related expenses, utilities,
food expenses, maintenance and supplies. Rental property operations expense
varied by less than 1% for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994.


                                                                              12

<PAGE>   13

Assisted living expenses consist primarily of the related payroll expense.
Assisted living expenses increased by 15% from 1995 to 1996 following a 15%
increase from 1994 to 1995. Assisted living expenses increased as a result of
the increase in the related staff providing assisted living services. The staff
size was increased due to the increase in the number of residents using the
assisted living services. This increase corresponds with the increase in
assisted living revenue.

General and administrative expenses are comprised of, but not limited to, costs
for accounting, partnership administration, bad debt, data processing, investor
relations, insurance and professional services. General and administrative
expense increased to $1.3 million in 1996 from $800,000 in 1995. The primary
reason for this increase was a one time charge of $389,000 for costs related to
preparing to solicit the consent of the Partnership's unitholders with respect
to an anticipated sale of the Partnership's four fee properties to a health care
real estate investment trust.

A preliminary consent solicitation statement had been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The normal course of review of the consent
solicitation by the SEC was not completed before the time in which the
solicitation statement was required to be updated with audited year-end
financial statements for the partnership. While the year-end financial
statements were being prepared and audited, the Managing General Partner
requested the appraisal firm which had previously prepared appraisals of the
four fee properties to update those appraisals. Upon receiving and reviewing the
updated appraisals, which indicated an increase in market value for each of the
fee properties, the Managing General partner contacted the potential buyer of
the properties to determine if it was willing to increase its purchase price
accordingly. As the purchase price was not increased, the Partnership's General
Partners decided not to proceed with the consent solicitation of the Partners
for the sale of the fee properties. Although the sale of the fee properties did
not occur, the Managing General Partner provided those Unitholders seeking
liquidity an opportunity to sell their interests in the Partnership at an amount
which reflected the values contained in the updated appraisals when it made an
offer to purchase limited partnership units.

General and administrative expenses increased to $800,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 from $696,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in Partnership administration fees
paid as a result of higher net operating income generated by the facilities.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 1996
decreased to $1.7 million from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1995. There are three primary reasons for this decrease. The first is the full
amortization of assets associated with the expiration of the initial lease term
of two of the facility operating leases. The second is the managing General
Partner's intention to extend the operating leases for the Partnership's other
two leased facilities thus increasing the lives of the associated leasehold
improvements. The third is the result of the Managing General Partner's change
in asset lives following capital improvements to these facilities and evaluation
of the physical plant. The change had the effect of reducing depreciation
expense and increasing net income by approximately $51,000 ($1.44 per limited
partner unit). Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $2.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $2.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 1994. The decrease was a result of a portion of the
Partnership's property having become fully depreciated during 1994.


                                                                              13

<PAGE>   14

Property taxes decreased by 5% from 1995 to 1996 and increased 12% from 1994 to
1995.

Interest expense decreased by approximately 4% from 1995 to 1996 and decreased
2% from 1994 to 1995. Interest expense is lower due to a decrease in the
principal balance outstanding on the line of credit.



                                                                              14

FUTURE CASH DISTRIBUTIONS.

The General Partners believe that the Registrant's ability to make cash
distributions to limited partners depends on factors such as:

      (i)   The Registrant's ability to rent the available units and maintain
            high occupancies.

      (ii)  The Registrant's ability to control both operating and
            administrative expenses.

      (iii) The Registrant's ability to maintain adequate working capital.

      (iv)  The absence of any losses from uninsured property damage (e.g.,
            earthquakes) or future litigation.

      (v)   The Registrant's ability to generate proceeds from the sales of its
            properties.

      (vi)  The Registrant's ability to renew existing leases under favorable
            terms.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Other than the compensation earned by the General Partners, as set out under
ITEM 11 above, no General Partner or Affiliate receives any direct or indirect
compensation from the Registrant. For example, the Managing Partner receives a
management fee of 5% of Gross Revenues. Because these fees are payable without
regard to whether particular facilities are generating Cash Flow or otherwise
benefiting the Registrant, a conflict of interest could arise in that it might
be to the advantage of the General Partners that a facility be retained or
re-financed rather than sold. On the other hand, an Affiliate of the General
Partners may earn a real estate commission on sale of a property, creating
incentive to sell what might be a profitable property.

The General Partners have authority to invest the Registrant's funds in
properties or entities in which they, or any Affiliate have an interest,
provided the Registrant acquires a controlling interest. In any such investment,
duplicate property management or other fees will not be permitted. The General
Partners or Affiliates may, however, purchase property in their own names and
temporarily hold title to facilitate acquisition for the Registrant, provided
that such property is purchased by the Registrant at cost (including
acquisition, closing and carrying costs). The General Partners will not
commingle Registrant's funds with those of any other person or entity.

Conflicts of interest will exist to the extent that facilities owned or operated
compete, or are in a position to compete for residents, general managers or key
employees with assisted living facilities owned or operated by the General
Partners and Affiliates in the same geographic area. The General Partners will
seek to reduce any such conflicts by offering such persons their choice of
residence or employment on comparable terms in any facility.

The personnel working at each facility are employed by the Registrant's managing
partner ARVAL. ARVAL pays payroll and retirement benefit expenses on the
Registrant's behalf and is subsequently reimbursed by the Registrant. The
retirement benefit expense consists of contributions made to an employee stock
ownership plan ("ESOP"). Effective April 1, 1991, ARVAL approved an ESOP to
enable all eligible employees of ARVAL and its affiliates to own common stock in
ARVAL. The General Partners are currently considering whether or not to continue
making contributions to the ESOP.

Further conflicts may exist if and to the extent that other affiliated owners of
assisted living facilities seek to refinance or sell at the same time as the
Registrant. The General Partners will seek to reduce any such conflicts by
making prospective purchasers aware of all facilities available for sale.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


ARV Assisted Living, Inc.
  as the Managing General Partner
  of American Retirement Villas Properties II:

We have audited the financial statements of American Retirement Villas
Properties II, a California limited partnership, as listed in the accompanying
index.  In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we have also
audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index.
These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of American Retirement Villas
Properties II as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

      American Retirement Villas Properties II (the Partnership) maintains its
      records on the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting and
      Federal and state tax purposes.

      CARRYING VALUE OF REAL ESTATE

      Properties are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
      Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
      estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures
      and equipment, ranging from 3 to 35 years.  In 1996, the Partnership
      extended the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements to
      better reflect the estimated periods during which such assets will remain
      in service.  The change had the effect of reducing depreciation expense
      and increasing net income by approximately $51,000 ($1.44 per limited
      partner unit).  Leasehold property and improvements are amortized on a
      straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated
      useful life of the assets.

      In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121),
      "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
      Assets to Be Disposed Of."  SFAS No. 121 requires the Partnership to
      adopt the provisions of the new statement no later than fiscal 1996.
      SFAS 121 requires an impairment loss to be recorded as a reduction to
      operating income if the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows
      derived from an asset is less than the asset's carrying value.  The
      Partnership adopted SFAS 121 in fiscal year 1994 without an impact to the
      financial statements.

      USE OF ESTIMATES

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
      the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
      during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.

      IMPOUND ACCOUNTS

      Other assets includes funds held in impound accounts with the U.S.
      Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for payment of property
      taxes, insurance and future property improvements (replacement reserves)
      on certain properties with HUD financing.

      LOAN FEES

      Loan fees are amortized using the interest method over the term of the
      notes payable and are included in other assets.

      RENTAL INCOME

      Rent agreements with tenants are on a month-to-month basis.  Advance
      deposits are applied to the first month's rent.

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


      INCOME TAXES

      Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the California Revenue
      and Taxation Code, partnerships are generally not subject to income
      taxes. For tax purposes, any income or losses realized are those of the
      individual partners, not the Partnership.

      The Partnership has not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue
      Service to the effect that it will be treated as a partnership and not an
      association taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes.
      The Partnership has received an opinion of counsel as to its tax status
      prior to its effectiveness for the offering of limited partnership units,
      but such opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service.

      Following are the Partnership's assets and liabilities as determined in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and for
      Federal income tax reporting purposes at December 31:

(2)   ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      The Partnership was formed on February 9, 1988 for the purpose of
      acquiring, developing and operating residential retirement facilities.
      The term of the Partnership is 59 years and may be dissolved earlier
      under certain circumstances.

      Limited Partner units (minimum of 2 units per investor for Individual
      Retirement Accounts, KEOGHs and pension plans and 5 units for all other
      investors) were offered for sale to the general public.  A maximum number
      of 35,000 units were offered at $1,000 per unit and an additional 25
      units were issued in lieu of commissions.  The Partnership was initially
      capitalized by a $1,000 contribution from a Limited Partner and a $500
      contribution from the General Partners.  The Partnership reached its
      maximum capitalization in October 1989, representing a total capital
      investment of $35,000,000.  In June 1990, the Partnership repurchased and
      effectively retired 5 units for $4,600 (the balance of unreturned initial
      contributions) from a Limited Partner.  No additional capital
      contributions will be required from any Limited Partner.  Under the
      Partnership Agreement, the maximum liability of the Limited Partners is
      the amount of their capital contributions.

      The Managing General Partner is ARV Assisted Living, Inc. (ARVAL), a
      California corporation, and the individual General Partners are John A.
      Booty, John S. Jason, Gary L. Davidson and Tony Rota.  The individual
      General Partners are shareholders of the Managing General Partner.  The
      General Partners are not required to make capital contributions to the
      Partnership.

      Profits and losses for financial and income tax reporting purposes shall
      generally be allocated, other than cost recovery deductions (as defined
      in the Partnership Agreement), 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the
      Limited Partners.  Cost recovery deductions for each year are allocated
      1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners who are
      taxable investors.

      Cash available for distribution from operations is to be distributed 1%
      to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners.

      Upon any sale, refinancing or other disposition of the Partnership's real
      properties, distributions will be made 1% to the General Partners and 99%
      to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have received an
      amount equal to 100% of their capital contributions plus an amount
      ranging from 8% to 10% (depending upon the timing of the Limited
      Partner's investment) of their capital contributions per annum,
      cumulative but not compounded, from the date of each Partner's
      investment.  The cumulative return will be reduced, but not below zero,
      by the aggregate amount of prior distributions from all sources.
      Thereafter, distributions are to be 15% to the General Partners and 85%
      to the Limited Partners, except that after the sale of the properties,
      the proceeds of sale of any last remaining assets owned by the
      Partnership shall be distributed in accordance with positive capital
      account balances.

(3)   TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

      The Partnership has an agreement with ARVAL providing for a property
      management fee of 5% of gross revenues and a Partnership management fee
      of 10% of cash flow before distribution, as defined in the Partnership
      Agreement, amounting to $892,000 $849,000, $800,000 and $399,000,
      $330,000, $252,000, respectively, at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
      respectively.

      Payment of the Partnership management fee out of cash flow is
      subordinated to a quarterly noncumulating distribution from each property
      to the Limited Partners of an amount equal to an annualized return, per
      quarter, of 7.5% of Capital Contributions allocated to each property.

      ARVAL pays certain expenses such as repairs and maintenance, supplies,
      payroll and retirement benefit expenses on behalf of the Partnership and
      is subsequently reimbursed by the Partnership.  The retirement benefit
      expense of $0, $28,000 and $134,000 for the years ended December 31,
      1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, consists of contributions made to an
      employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).  The total reimbursements to ARVAL,
      including the retirement benefit expense, are included in rental property
      operations and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
      statements of operations and amounted to $6,040,000, $5,648,000 and
      $5,612,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
      respectively.

      In consideration for services rendered with respect to property
      acquisitions, the Managing General Partner was paid an investment
      advisory fee of a maximum of 2% of the gross offering proceeds.  In
      addition, the Managing General Partner was entitled to a development and
      processing fee of a maximum of 5.5% of gross offering proceeds allocated
      to a particular project.  Investment advisory and development and
      processing fees were capitalized to properties to the extent that gross
      offering proceeds were allocated to the respective properties acquired.

      Amounts payable to affiliate at December 31, 1996 and 1995 includes
      expense reimbursements and accrued property management and partnership
      management fees.

      LEASE COMMITMENTS

      COVINA VILLA

      In October 1988, the Partnership purchased Covina Villa, an existing
      assisted living facility in Covina, California.  In conjunction with the
      acquisition, the Partnership  assumed a ground lease, expiring in 2037,
      covering the land on which the facility is built.  Pledged as collateral
      for the ground lease is a security interest in the facility property and
      in all furniture, fixtures and equipment which the Partnership places in
      the facility.  Rent expense under the ground lease for 1996, 1995 and
      1994 was $103,000, $103,000 and $115,000, respectively.

      RETIREMENT INNS OF AMERICA

      In April 1989, the Partnership acquired the operations of eight existing
      assisted living facilities located throughout California from Retirement
      Inns of America, Inc.  As part of the purchase agreement, the Partnership
      acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities relating to the
      operations of the facilities.  The Partnership purchased three of the
      facilities and assumed a tenant's position under long-term operating
      leases for the other five facilities.  Rent expense under the operating
      leases for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $1,069,000, $1,071,000 and $1,061,000,
      respectively.  The expiration dates for the leases range from August 1995
      to November 1997 and have options to extend for two additional ten-year
      terms.

      MONTEGO HEIGHTS

      In November 1989, the Partnership purchased Montego Heights, an existing
      assisted living facility and related assets in Walnut Creek, California.

      Future minimum lease payments under all ground and facility leases which
      are treated as operating leases are as follows:

      TENDER OFFER FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS

      Pursuant to the Partnership agreement, the minimum holding period (five
      to seven years) has expired.  The Managing General Partner is beginning
      to explore potential disposition strategies for the Partnership's assets.
      In order to provide liquidity and a disposition strategy for certain of
      the limited partners, the Managing General Partner made a tender offer to
      purchase limited partnership units at a cash price of $720 per unit.
      Pursuant to this tender offer, the Managing General Partner acquired
      50.8% of the outstanding limited partnership units and has thus attained
      majority control of the Partnership.

      LITIGATION

      On September 27, 1996, the Partnership filed actions seeking declaratory
      judgements against the landlords of the Retirement Inn of Campbell
      ("Campbell") and the Retirement Inn of Sunnyvale ("Sunnyvale"). The
      Partnership leases the Campbell and Sunnyvale assisted living facilities
      under long-term leases. A dispute has arisen as to the amount of rent due
      during the 10-year lease renewal periods which commenced in August 1995
      for Campbell and March 1996 for Sunnyvale. The Partnership seeks a
      determination that the Partnership is not required to pay any higher rent
      during the 10-year renewal periods than during the original 20-year lease
      terms.

      In the event that the court finds against the Partnership, rent for the
      Campbell and Sunnyvale facilities could increase significantly, which will
      reduce distributions to Unitholders in the future. These rent increases
      would be retroactive to the commencement of the lease renewal periods.
      Management is of the opinion, based in part upon opinions of legal 
      counsel, that an adverse outcome is unlikely.

      Two other facilities leased by the Partnership, the Retirement Inn of
      Fremont ("Fremont") and the Retirement Inn at Burlingame ("Burlingame"),
      are owned by entities which are related to the entities that own the
      Campbell and Sunnyvale facilities. It is not known whether the landlords
      of those facilities will dispute the amount of rent due during the renewal
      periods which began January 1997 for Fremont and beginning August 1997 for
      Burlingame. If so, the Partnership may be required to file litigation to
      determine the rights under those leases as well. As of March 25, 1997, no
      threat of litigation has been made by the landlords of the Retirement Inn
      of Fremont or the Retirement Inn at Burlingame.

(6)   ESOP AND 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN

      Prior to 1996, ARVAL offered an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to
      all eligible employees which includes the employees of the Partnership.
      The amount of stock contributed annually to the ESOP is at the discretion
      of ARVAL. During 1994, ARVAL's Board of Directors declared a contribution
      that approximated 3% of each employee's payroll expense.  During 1995,
      ARVAL's Board of Directors declared a contribution in only the first
      quarter of the year and that contribution approximated 3% of each
      employee's payroll expense.  No further contributions have been declared.
      The Partnership's expense was $0, $28,000 and $134,000 for the ESOP (as a
      reimbursement to ARVAL) in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Effective
      January 1, 1997, ARVAL added a 401(k) savings plan.

(7)   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
      instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107), "Disclosure about Fair
      value of Financial Instruments."  The estimated fair value amounts have
      been determined using available market information and appropriate
      valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgement is necessarily
      required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value.
      Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative
      of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.  The
      use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have
      a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts.

      Fair value information related to financial instruments is as follows:

</TABLE>



      CASH

      The carrying amount for cash approximates fair value because these
      instruments are demand deposits and do not present unanticipated interest
      rate or credit concerns.

      NOTES PAYABLE

      For notes payable with variable interest rates, fair value is the amount
      reported a payable in the financial statements.  For notes payable with
      fixed rates on interest, fair value is estimated using the rates
      currently offered for bank borrowings with similar terms.

(8)   CANCELATION OF INDEBTEDNESS
      On March 31, 1995, ARVAL, the Managing General Partner of the
      Partnership, decided to cancel indebtedness owed to it by the Partnership
      in the amount of $453,000.  This indebtedness related to accrued
      Partnership management fees accumulated in prior years.  As discussed at
      note 3, the Partnership agreement provides that the payment of a
      Partnership management fee is subordinate to a quarterly noncumulating
      distribution from each property to the Limited Partners of an amount
      equal to an annualized return, per quarter, of 7.5% of capital
      contributions allocated to each property.  ARVAL canceled the
      indebtedness as collection appeared unlikely.  Such cancelation of
      indebtedness was treated as a capital contribution by the Managing
      General Partner for financial reporting purposes.
