BUSINESS GENERAL ARV Assisted Living, Inc. ("ARV" or the "Company"), originally incorporated in California in 1980 and subsequently merged into a Delaware corporation in 1998, is one of the largest operators of licensed assisted living communities ("ALCs") in the United States. We are a fully integrated provider of assisted living accommodations and services that operates, acquires and develops ALCs. We have been involved in the senior housing business for more than 20 years. Our operating objective is to provide high quality, personalized assisted living services to senior residents in a cost-effective manner, while maintaining residents' independence, dignity and quality of life. Our ALCs offer a combination of housing, personalized support services and healthcare in a non-institutional setting. Our ALCs are designed to respond to the individual needs of elderly residents who require assistance with certain activities of daily living, but who do not require the intensive nursing care provided in a skilled nursing facility. In December 2001, as part of a response to a hostile tender offer for outstanding units of American Retirement Villas Properties III, L.P., ("ARVP III") one of the partnerships for which we are the managing general partner, we acquired an additional 51.8% of the outstanding partnership units of ARVP III. With this acquisition of ARVP III, two ALCs were added to our portfolio of owned ALCs bringing our total number of owned ALCs to 17. In 1999 we embarked on a strategy to focus our business efforts in the western United States. To this end we have divested ourselves of many properties outside the western United States and have put certain other of our non-core properties up for sale. We do not have current plans to expand our operations. At December 31, 2001, we operated 58 ALCs containing 6,774 units, all of which were located in the United States. We currently have no ALCs under construction. We operate a total of 58 ALCs, 17 of which are owned by us, 33 which are leased by us and 8 which are managed by us. Owned ALCs ("Owned ALCs") are owned by us directly, or by affiliated limited partnerships or limited liability companies for which we serve as managing general partner or member and community manager and in which we have majority ownership interest ("Affiliated Partnerships"). Leased ALCs ("Leased ALCs") are operated by us under long-term operating leases for our own account or for Affiliated Partnerships in which we have a majority ownership interest. Managed ALCs are operated by us on behalf of an affiliated partnership (in which we did not acquire majority ownership until December 2001, pursuant to a tender offer), joint ventures in which we do have majority ownership but not control or an unrelated third-party. We believe that this blend of ownership, leasehold and management interest in our ALCs allows us to fund our operations in a balanced, efficient manner. We have financed our capital expenditures and operations through leasehold and mortgage financing with healthcare real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), private companies, commercial banks and a convertible subordinated debt issuance. In order to implement our refocusing strategy, we planned to dispose of those ALCs that did not meet our financial objectives or that did not lie within our primary geographic focus, the western United States. To this end, in December 1999, we commenced efforts to sell or transfer certain non-core assets and reclassified the assets to property held for sale. Due to market conditions no buyer could be found for the nine ALCs held for sale at December 31, 2000 and in June of 2001, the Company decided to retain these ALCs. The remaining land site in properties held for sale at December 31, 2001 is currently in escrow. We however, intend to continue our focus on "private-pay" residents who pay for our services from their own funds or through private insurance. Currently, approximately 97% of our residents are private-pay, while the remaining 3% of the residents participate in the Supplemental Security Income ("SSI") program. Certain states have enacted legislation enabling ALCs to receive Medicaid funding similar to funding generally provided to skilled nursing facilities. Our ALCs provide residents with accommodations, basic care services and assisted living services. Our resident's average age is 85.1 years and he/she often require assistance with certain basic activities of daily living. We provide our residents with private or semi-private housing accomodations, meals in a restaurant-style setting, 1 housekeeping, linen and laundry services, activities programs, utilities, and transportation in a van or minibus. For an additional cost, we also provide assisted living services to residents who require help with other activities of daily living, such as bathing, grooming, dressing, personal hygiene, medication management and escort services to meals and activities. Most ALCs offer a Wellness Program that arranges for professional care providers to deliver certain healthcare services to our residents that our ALCs are not licensed or equipped to provide. THE ASSISTED LIVING MARKET Assisted Living. Assisted living is a stage in the elder care continuum, midway between home-based care for independent and lower acuity residents and the more acute level of care provided by skilled nursing facilities and acute care hospitals. Assisted living represents a combination of housing, personalized support services, and healthcare designed to respond to the individual needs of the members of the senior population who need help with activities of daily living, but do not need the medical care provided in a skilled nursing facility. We believe our assisted living business benefits from significant trends affecting the long-term care industry. One such trend is the increase in the demand for elder care resulting from the continued aging of the U.S. population, with the average age of our residents falling within the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. 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. A second trend is the effort to contain healthcare costs by the government, private insurers and managed care organizations by limiting lengths of stay, services, and reimbursement to patients in acute care hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. Assisted living offers a cost-effective, long-term care alternative while preserving a more independent lifestyle for seniors who do not need the broader array of medical services that acute care hospitals and skilled nursing facilities are equipped to provide. For the year ended December 31, 2001, monthly revenue generated by our ALCs averaged $2,259 per occupied unit, compared with $2,145 per occupied unit for the year ended December 31, 2000. Other trends include increases in the financial net worth of the elderly population, the number of individuals living alone, and the number of women who work outside the home who are less able to care for their elderly relatives. We believe these trends will result in a growing demand for assisted living services and communities. Aging Population. The primary consumers of long-term healthcare services are persons over the age of 65. This group represents one of the fastest growing segments of the population. According to U.S. Bureau of the Census data as of January 2000, the segment of the population over 65 years of age is 13% of the total population, or 35 million people. That number is projected to grow to 20% of the total population, or 70 million people, by the year 2030. Additionally, according to U.S. Bureau of the Census data, the number of people aged 85 and older, which comprises the largest percentage of residents at long-term care facilities, is currently 4.4 million and is projected to increase to 8.9 million by the year 2030. Limitation on the Supply of Long-Term Care Facilities. The majority of states in the U.S. have enacted Certificate 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. High construction costs, limitations on government reimbursement for the full cost of construction, and start-up expenses also constrain growth in the supply of such facilities. Such legislation benefits the assisted living industry by limiting the supply of skilled nursing beds for the elderly. Cost factors are placing pressure on skilled nursing facilities to shift their focus toward higher acuity care, which enables them to charge more. This contributes to a shortage of lower acuity care and thereby increases the pool of potential assisted living residents. While Certificates of Need generally are not required for ALCs, except in a few states, most states do require assisted living providers to license their communities and comply with various regulations regarding building requirements and operating procedures and regulations. States typically impose additional requirements on ALCs over and above the standard congregate care requirements. Further, the limited pool of experienced assisted living staff and management, as well as the costs and start-up expenses to construct an ALC, provide an additional barrier to entry into the assisted living business. 2 Cost Containment Pressures of Health Reform. In response to rapidly rising healthcare costs, both government and private pay sources have adopted cost containment measures that encourage reduced lengths of stay in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. The federal government has acted to curtail increases in healthcare costs under Medicare by limiting acute care hospital and skilled nursing facility reimbursement to pre-established fixed amounts. Private insurers have also begun to limit reimbursement for medical services in general to predetermined "reasonable" charges. Managed care organizations, such as health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"), are reducing hospitalization costs by negotiating discounted rates for hospital services and by monitoring and decreasing hospitalization. We anticipate that both HMOs and PPOs increasingly may direct patients away from higher cost nursing care facilities into less expensive ALCs. These cost containment measures have produced a "push-down" effect. As the number of patients being "pushed down" from acute care hospitals to skilled nursing facilities increases, the demand for residential options such as ALCs to serve patients who historically have been served by skilled nursing facilities will also increase. In addition, skilled nursing facility operators are continuing to focus on improving occupancy and expanding services (and fees) to subacute patients requiring very high levels of nursing care. As the acuity level of skilled nursing facility patients rises, the supply of nursing facility beds will be filled by patients with higher acuity needs who pay higher fees. This will provide opportunities for ALCs to increase their occupancy and services to residents requiring lower levels of care than patients in skilled nursing facilities generally receive. OUR ASSISTED LIVING SERVICES We provide services and care which are designed to meet the individual needs of our residents. The services provided are designed to enhance both the physical and mental well being of seniors in each of our ALCs by promoting their independence and dignity in a home-like setting. Our assisted living program includes the following: o Personalized Care Plan. The focus of our strategy is to meet the specific needs of each resident. We customize our services beginning with the admissions process, at which time the ALC's management staff, the resident, the resident's family, and the resident's physician discuss the resident's needs and develop a "personalized" care plan. If recommended by the resident's physician, additional healthcare or medical services may be provided at the community by a third-party home healthcare agency or other medical provider. The care plan is reviewed and modified on a regular basis. o Basic Service and Care Package. The basic service and care package at our ALCs generally includes: o meals in a restaurant-style, "home-like" setting; o housekeeping; o linen and laundry service; o social and recreational programs; o utilities; and o transportation in a van or minibus. Other care services can be provided under the basic package based upon the individual's personalized healthcare plan. Our policy is to charge base rents that are competitive with similar ALCs in the local market. While the amount of the fee for the basic service package varies from community to community, the average basic monthly rental rate per unit was approximately $1,904 per month as of December 31, 2001, compared with an average of $1,811 as of December 31, 2000. o Additional Services. Our assisted living services program offers levels of care in addition to the services offered in the basic package. The level of care a resident receives is determined through an assessment of a resident's physical and mental health. The assessment is conducted by the community's assisted living 3 director, with input from other staff members. The six-tiered level of care rate structure is based on a point system. We assign points to the various care tasks required by the resident, based on the amount of staff time and expertise needed to accomplish the tasks. The point scale and pricing are part of the admissions agreement between the community, the resident and the resident's family. The community performs reassessments after the initial 30 days and periodically throughout the resident's stay to ensure that the level of care we provide corresponds to changes in a resident's condition. The types of services included in the assessment point calculation are: o Medication management o Assistance with dressing and grooming o Assistance with showering o Assistance with continence o Escort services o Status checks related to a recent hospitalization, illness, history of falls or injuries o Help with psychosocial needs, such as memory deficit disorder o Special nutritional needs and assistance with eating In addition to the above services, we provide other levels of assistance to residents at selected ALCs in order to meet individual needs, such as assistance with diabetic care and monitoring, catheter, colostomy and ileosotomy care, minor wound care needs and light to moderate transferring needs. Some of our ALCs also operate memory loss units for residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. These units provide the attention and services required by cognitively impaired residents to maintain a high quality of life in a secure environment. Specially trained staff provide personalized care, specialized activity programs and oversee medication regimens. In addition to the base service package, we typically charge between $375 and $1,700 per month or more for higher levels of assisted living services. Fee levels vary from community to community and we may charge additional fees for other specialized assisted living services. We expect that an increasing number of residents will use additional levels of services as they age in our ALCs. Our internal growth plan is focused on increasing revenue by continuing to improve our ability to provide residents with these services. The average monthly revenue per occupied unit for both the basic service package and the assisted living services increased to $2,259 from $2,145 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There can be no assurance that any ALC will be substantially occupied at assumed rates at any time. In addition, we may only be able to lease up our ALCs to full occupancy at rates below our set rates due to limitations imposed on rates by local market conditions or other factors. Even if we achieve substantial occupancy at our set rates, our set rates may not allow for our projected cost recovery and profit if operating expenses increase. In addition, in order to increase our set rates, we must provide advance notice of rate increases, generally at least 30 days. Because of this advance notice requirement, we are not able to reflect cost increases in our set rates until at least several months after such cost increases occur. Wellness Program. We have implemented a Wellness Program for residents of our communities designed to identify and respond to changes in a resident's health or condition. Together with the resident and the resident's family and physician, as appropriate, we design a solution to fit that resident's particular needs. We monitor the physical and mental well being of our residents, usually at meals and other activities, and informally as the staff performs services around the facility. Through the Wellness Program we work with: o home healthcare agencies to provide services the community cannot provide; o physical and occupational therapists to provide services to residents in need of such therapy; and 4 o long-term care pharmacies to facilitate cost-effective and reliable ordering and distribution of medications. We arrange for these services to be provided to residents as needed in consultation with their physicians and families. At the present time, most of our ALCs have a comprehensive Wellness Program. GROWTH STRATEGIES Overview. In order to grow earnings and achieve profitability we have devised a strategy to increase our focus on the operations of our current ALCs and reduce the level of development and acquisition activity we historically pursued. To strengthen the operations of our ALCs, we will focus on improving margins by increasing occupancy rates, raising or maintaining pricing structures to ensure that our rates are competitive with comparable facilities in our local markets, and expanding the level and depth of our assisted living services. Although we have currently halted the development and construction of new communities, we will continue efforts to cluster our portfolio of ALCs within certain geographic areas through the acquisition or divestiture of selected assets. By concentrating on a clustering strategy we expect to increase the efficiency of our management and marketing resources and to achieve broader economies of scale. Our strategy is to target areas where there is a need for ALCs based on demographics and market studies. In addition to acquiring ALCs through direct ownership and the use of long-term leases, we may also divest our ALCs that do not expand or enhance one of our clusters or do not meet our financial objectives. In 1999, we sold five ALCs that were outside of the Western United States. During 2000, we completed the sale of three of our ALCs that were outside of the western United States. As of December 31, 2001, a substantial portion of our business and operations were conducted in California, where 37 of the 58 ALCs we operate are located. We have no operations or customers in foreign countries. The market value of our properties and the income generated from ALCs we own, manage or lease could be negatively affected by changes in local and regional economic conditions and by acts of nature. A worsening of local economic conditions could have a negative effect on our business. Development. Due to market conditions, the development of new ALCs has been curtailed during 2001. We do not expect to develop any new facilities in the foreseeable future. In 1998, we entered into several joint venture arrangements operating as limited liability companies ("LLCs") designed to help us finance development and renovation projects and to mitigate the impact of start-up losses associated with the opening of newly constructed ALCs. The joint ventures were formed to finance and manage the substantial renovation of two existing ALCs acquired in 1998 in the Hillsdale Transaction and to construct three new communities on land sites we owned. Participants in the joint ventures with us include a third-party investor and a third-party developer. The LLCs have contracted with the developer to provide development services to perform the renovation and construction. We account for our investment in the joint ventures using the equity method and losses incurred by the LLCs will be allocated disproportionately to the joint venture partners based upon their assumption of risk. In 2000 and 2001, certain joint venture partner's capital was reduced to zero, consequently, the losses from the joint venture were allocated to us based upon our capital or percentage interest. The Company has agreed to fund any operating deficits incurred in connection with the operation of these joint venture projects operating as limited liability companies ("LLC"), up to an aggregate amount of $6.0 million for all of the development properties and $6.0 million for all of the renovation properties subject to a $9.0 million cap. The advances, which are considered capital contributions to the LLC, are non-interest bearing and will be repaid only if sufficient funds are available in accordance with the terms of the operating agreements of the respective LLCs. These agreements will remain in effect from the commencement of operations of the project until the earlier to occur of 18 months after the project has achieved stabilization, the sale of the project to a third-party, or the purchase by the Company of the membership interests of the venture partners. Our current funding of operating deficits since inception in 1998 is $1.5 million. We have an option to purchase the joint venture's interest in the LLCs when the ALCs reach stabilization, at a purchase price that is the greater of fair market value or an amount that generates a guaranteed rate of return on the joint ventures' capital contribution. In December 2000, we determined that the value of our investment in the LLCs was impaired based upon projected cash flow, and wrote down the investment to estimated fair-market value. In 2001 we declined the option to purchase two of the LLCs that had reached stabilization and in 5 accordance with the LLCs' operating agreement we no longer serve as a manager of the two LLCs and we no longer manage one of the LLCs that is outside our geographic clustering strategy. We do not plan to develop new ALCs during 2002. In 2000, we completed three development projects that were in progress at December 31, 1999. Cost Containment To contain costs and maximize operating efficiency, we employ an integrated structure of management and financial systems and controls. We utilize centralized accounting systems and computer systems that link each community with our executive offices to provide management with on-lone revenue and expense information regarding its residential communities. We provide an on-line analysis capability for resident billing, occupancy, marketing and statistical information. We have recruited experienced key employees from several established operators in the long-term-care services field and believe that we have assembled the administrative, operational and financial personnel that will enable us to manage our growth and operating strategies effectively. We also recruit individuals with strong backgrounds for our regional director positions. In addition we have developed internal procedures and policies that we believe are necessary for effective operation and management of our ALCs. Day to day community operations are supervised by an on-site executive director who, in certain jurisdictions, must satisfy certain licensing requirements. Acquisitions. In evaluating possible acquisitions, we consider: o the location, construction quality, condition and design of the ALC; o the current and projected cash flow of the community and its anticipated ability to increase revenue through rent and occupancy increases, additional assisted living services and management; and o whether we can acquire the community below replacement cost. Our sources for prospective acquisitions range from Affiliated Partnerships to management contracts with potential ALC sellers, to our local and regional personnel who monitor the assisted living market in their area. In 2001, we acquired two ALCs that we had managed since 1989. This acquisition was accomplished by means of the purchase of 51.8% of the outstanding partnership units in ARVP III pursuant to a tender offer. In certain cases we may also target additional third-party management contracts. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we signed a management contract for four ALCs. However, we do not intend to continue our past growth rate and may not expand at all in the future. Historically, we have financed many of our acquisitions using equity and debt and through direct long-term operating lease transactions with institutional investors such as healthcare REITs, and may continue to do so in the future. In long-term operating lease transactions, we typically arrange the sale of the prospective assisted living community to a REIT or other institutional investor while concurrently entering into a long-term operating lease for the facility. Our initial investment is generally limited to a security deposit that is typically provided through cash or standby letters of credit collateralized by cash. Thereafter, we are obligated to make certain rental payments (which may include an additional amount related to revenue of the community) for the term of the lease. While we have financed a portion of our direct ownership of ALCs with secured debt from lending institutions, we do not have any participation or sponsorship interest in these entities. While we make our best estimates in projecting lease-up costs and expenses as well as the achievement of rent stabilization, our failure to generate sufficient revenue could result in an inability to meet minimum rent obligations under our long-term operating leases. Increase in Sales of Additional Assisted Living Services. We believe that many custodial services provided in skilled nursing facilities are available in our ALCs at approximately two-thirds of the cost. We believe that this differential will enable us to attract additional residents. By increasing the use of these services by our residents, we believe residents will be able to age in place at our ALCs over a longer period of time, and not have to transfer to more expensive skilled nursing facilities until absolutely necessary. We seek to enhance and increase the amount and diversity of assisted living services we provide through: 6 o the continued education of the senior community, and particularly the residents and their families, concerning the cost-effectiveness of receiving additional services in an assisted living community; o the continued development and refinement of assisted living programs designed to meet the needs of our residents as they age in place; and o the consistent delivery of quality services for residents. EMPLOYEES At February 28, 2002 we had approximately 3,130 employees. None of our employees are members of unions and the Company continues to enjoy good relations with its employees. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Our operating leases require the tender of security deposits. At December 31, 2001, the amount of security deposits was $9.4 million either in cash or letters of credit supported by cash. These deposits are classified as non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. In 2001, we refinanced the mortgage debt of five of our ALCs that are held by majority-owned partnerships in order to: o pay off existing debt that matured in 2001 and 2002; and o borrow against the increased value of these properties. In 2000, we refinanced four of our ALCs that are held by majority-owned partnerships to: o pay off existing debt that matured in 2001; and o borrow against the increased value of these properties. The principal repayment of the refinanced debt is based upon a 35 year amortization schedule with fixed interest rates ranging from 7.25%-8.53%, including the payment of a mortgage insurance premium of 0.5%. In January, 2001 we restructured 16 ALC leases into two lease pools of 8 ALCs each. In each restructured pool, the lease termination date was extended through fiscal 2021. As part of the restructure, we are allowed to finance the additional rent expense of up to $1.0 million during 2001, $1.0 million in 2002, $1.5 million in 2003, $1.0 million in 2004 and $0.5 million in 2005, converting this into a note payable with a due date of December 31, 2010 at a fixed interest rate of 7%. Interest only payments are required monthly with principal payments beginning in 2006 at $1.0 million per year. We also incurred a restructuring fee of $4.5 million payable at $1.5 million for each of the first three years. The restructured lease agreements provide for reimbursement to us from the landlord of capital improvement expenditures up to $3.0 million. The Company's various debt and lease agreements contain restrictive covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios, including current ratio, working capital, minimum net worth, and debt service coverage, among others. At December 31, 2001, we were in compliance with all such covenants. In 1999, we began retiring portions of our 6 3/4% convertible subordinated debt. During 1999, we issued a total of 799,566 shares of our common stock and paid a total of $1.0 million to certain of our bondholders in exchange for a total of $9.2 million principal amount of the subordinated notes due 2006 that were held by those bondholders. These transactions resulted in an extraordinary gain of $7.0 million net of tax for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. During 2000, we issued a total of 781,025 shares of our common stock and paid a total of $9.6 million to additional bondholders in exchange for a total of $33.0 million in principal amount of the subordinated notes held by those bondholders which yielded an extraordinary gain of $20.6 million net of tax and costs. In 2001 we paid a total 7 of $5.7 million to certain of our bondholders in exchange for a total of $8.0 million principal amount of the subordinated notes. The transactions for the year ended December 31, 2001, resulted in an extraordinary gain of $2.1 million net of tax and costs. Out of $57.5 million we have retired a total of $50.2 million of our public debt resulting in extraordinary gains of $29.5 million to date net of tax and costs. We obtained a $10.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit from our major shareholder Lazard Freres, through its affiliates, to be used for retirement of the subordinated 6 3/4% public debt. At December 31, 2001, we had $10.0 million outstanding on the line of credit at LIBOR plus 10% interest payable monthly. Pursuant to the terms of an Operating Deficit Payment Agreement, the Company has agreed to fund any operating deficits incurred in connection with the operation of five joint venture projects operating as limited liability companies ("LLC"), up to an aggregate amount of $6.0 million for all of the development properties and $6.0 million for all of the renovation properties subject to the $9.0 million cap. The advances, which are considered capital contributions to the LLC, are non-interest bearing and are to be repaid only if sufficient funds are available in accordance with the terms of the operating agreements of the respective LLCs. This agreement is to remain in effect from the commencement of operations of the project until the earlier to occur of 18 months after the project has achieved stabilization, the sale of the project to a third-party, or the purchase by the Company of the membership interests of the project owner. As of December 31, 2001, operating deficit advances of $1.5 million had been funded since inception in 1998. We declined to purchase two of the joint venture properties and in accordance with the operating agreement we were terminated as the manager of those LLCs. In addition we are no longer managing one of the properties that is outside our geographic clustering strategy. We believe that our existing liquidity, our ability to sell ALCs and land sites which do not meet our financial objectives or geographic clustering strategy, and our ability to refinance certain owned ALCs and investments will provide us with adequate resources to meet our current operating and investing needs. Historically we have not generated sufficient cash from operations to fund recurring working capital and capital expenditure requirements. We may be required from time to time to incur additional indebtedness or issue additional debt or equity securities to finance our strategy, including the rehabilitation of ALCs as well as other capital expenditures. We anticipate that we will be able to obtain the additional financing; however, we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms.

Given these uncertainties, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained here to reflect future events or developments. Certain risks are inherent in the operation of ALCs. These risks include, but are not limited to: o our history of losses; o our ability to access capital necessary for operations and acquisitions; 8 o our ability to sustain and manage growth and to successfully integrate new ALCs into our portfolio; o competition; o our ability to meet our indebtedness, lease and other obligations; o our liabilities as a general partner of Affiliated Partnerships; o our liability as a member of the joint venture LLCs where we are required to fund operating deficits; o dependence on reimbursement from third-party payers; o governmental regulation; and o risks common to the assisted living industry. HISTORY OF LOSSES For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, we had losses before extraordinary gains of approximately $1.1 million, $14.1 million, and $33.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2001, our accumulated deficit was approximately $97.7 million. Our loss before extraordinary gains for the year ended December 31, 2001 primarily resulted from: o income from ALC operations which was more than offset by o net interest expense; and o equity in losses in partnerships; offset in part by o gain on sale of properties and partnership interests. Our loss before extraordinary gain for the year ended December 31, 2000 primarily resulted from: o impairment losses on joint venture LLCs; o interest expense; and o loss from operations. Our loss before extraordinary gain for the year ended December 31, 1999 primarily resulted from: o start-up losses on newly-developed ALCs; o the impairment losses on ALCs held for sale; o interest expense; o litigation judgment expenses and settlement of a lawsuit; and o legal expenses for and settlement of a lawsuit. We cannot provide assurance that the risks associated with operating our ALCs can be managed to reduce or eliminate start-up losses, equity loss in partnerships or that other similar costs and expenses or losses will not occur 9 in the future. See "--Indebtedness, Lease and Other Obligations," "--General Partner Liability and Status," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". DEPENDENCE ON THE AVAILABILITY OF ADEQUATE CAPITAL We depend heavily on our ability to obtain adequate capital to fund our operations. Our estimated capital expenditure needs over the next 12 months are $6.6 million, which we expect to fund from operations. As of December 31, 2001 we had $13.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $1.2 million. This means we have cash and cash equivalents to meet our estimated capital needs for operations for the next 12 months. If, however our operating costs exceed our projections, we may have to obtain significant additional financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the financing on a timely basis, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the required financing on a timely basis we may not be able to execute our business plan. MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH Management of Growth. We have slowed our pace of acquisitions and development during the last three years. We have recently acquired two ALCs through the ARVP III acquisition that occurred in December 2001. However, these ALCs were previously managed by us. In addition, we have entered into five new management contracts. See "-- Risks Common to our Assisted Living Operations." Our failure to effectively manage our growth could have a material adverse effect on operating results. External Growth. We may in the future enter into agreements to acquire properties for development and for the acquisition of existing ALCs that are subject to certain conditions. There can be no assurance that one or more of such acquisitions will be completed, that we will be able to find additional suitable properties and ALCs, or that we can obtain financing to continue to acquire or develop ALCs and property on which to build them. We expect to experience a slowdown in growth through acquisitions of ALCs due to shortages of suitable ALCs available at attractive prices and due to limitations on obtaining financing. COMPETITION The Company operates in over 40 separate markets. Competition to increase or maintain high occupancies is significant with numerous other companies representing national, regional, and local fragmented ownership. No one competitor tends to have a dominant market share within our niche. The Company for the most part has created a market niche based on mid-range pricing and competes on quality of service, services offered, reputation, location, and market longevity. However, in select markets the Company enjoys market dominance due to multiple locations in a single market. We are continuing to grow within these competitive markets by providing excellent value in residential amenities, staff hospitality, and personal care services. The healthcare industry is highly competitive and we expect that the assisted living business, in particular, will become more competitive in the future. Currently competition includes, family members providing care at home; numerous local, regional and national providers of retirement, assisted living and long-term care whose facilities and services range from home-based healthcare to skilled nursing facilities; and acute care hospitals. In addition, we believe that as assisted living receives increased attention among the public and insurance companies, new competitors focused on assisted living will enter the market, including hospitality companies expanding into the market. Some of our competitors operate on a not-for-profit basis or as charitable organizations, while others have, or are capable of obtaining, greater financial resources than those available to us. We also expect to face increased competition for the acquisition and development of ALCs. Some of our present and potential competitors are significantly larger or have, or may obtain, greater financial resources than we have. These forces could limit our ability to attract residents, attract qualified personnel, expand our business, or increase the cost of future acquisitions, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 10 SALES AND MARKETING The Company's marketing strategy focuses on enhancing the reputation of the Company's communities and creating awareness of the Company and its services among potential referral sources. The Company emphasizes outreach by developing relationships and creating awareness among referral sources. Referral sources include hospital discharge planners, physician offices, skilled nursing facilities, home healthcare providers and the clergy. We focus on our satisfied residents and family members who represent a key number of referrals and our respite program which provides individuals with the opportunity to experience our services on a trial or short term basis. Each regional cluster generally has at least one sales and marketing specialist and in each ALC one sales and marketing director is responsible for implementing sales and marketing programs. In addition to the direct contacts with referral services we market our services, through newspapers, direct mail and through internet based referral organizations. INDEBTEDNESS, LEASE AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS We have financed, and may continue to finance, the acquisition of ALCs through a combination of loans, leases and other obligations. As of December 31, 2001, we had an outstanding consolidated indebtedness of $112.3 million, including $7.3 million of our 2006 Convertible Notes, whose holders have the right to convert such notes into our common stock at any time on or before the notes mature. As a result, we will devote a portion of our cash flow to debt service. There is a risk that we will not be able to refinance our maturing note obligations on terms favorable to us, or that we will not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make required interest and principal payments. We have guaranteed the indebtedness at December 31, 2001, of certain unconsolidated Affiliated Partnerships for $3.5 million. We are the general partner of certain limited partnerships that serve as the sole members of the borrowing entities which carried loan balances of $15.3 million at December 31, 2001. Although a member of a borrowing entity is not personally liable for any contract or other obligation of that entity, we delivered limited guaranties in connection with the loans. Due to the limited guaranties, we assumed liability for repayment of the loan indebtedness as a result of fraudulent or intentional misconduct regarding the mortgaged properties, an unconsented transfer of a mortgaged property, a change of control by borrower, or violation of hazardous materials covenants. At December 31, 2001, approximately $35.2 million of our indebtedness bore interest at floating rates. We may incur indebtedness in the future that may also bear interest at a floating rate, or be fixed at some time in the future. Therefore, increases in prevailing interest rates could increase our interest payment obligations and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, we have guaranteed mortgage and construction debt for the benefit of certain Affiliated Partnerships of up to approximately $23.5 million, including $22.5 million outstanding at December 31, 2001. On January 16, 2001 we sold our interest in five tax credit partnerships eliminating any further guarantee on them. As of December 31, 2001 we are party to long-term operating leases for certain of our leased ALCs. These require minimum annual lease payments in the aggregate amount of $32.9 million and $33.4 million for years ending December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. In January 2001, we restructured 16 ALC leases into two lease pools of 8 ALCs each. In each restructured pool, the lease termination date was extended through fiscal 2021. As part of the lease restructure we are allowed to finance additional rent expense of up to $1.0 million during 2001, $1.0 million in 2002, $1.5 million in 2003, $1.0 million in 2004 and $0.5 million in 2005 converting this into a note payable with a due date of December 31, 2010 at a fixed rate of 7%. Interest only payments are required monthly with principal payments beginning in 2006 of $1.0 million per year. We also incurred a restructuring fee of $4.5 million payable at $1.5 million for each of the first three years. The restructuring fee is accounted for on a straight-line basis. The restructured lease agreements provide for reimbursement to us from the landlord of capital improvement expenditures up to $3.0 million. The lease agreements provided for a total minimum rent of approximately 28.5% of revenue that changes annually. For the year ending December 31, 2002, 28.3% of revenue is the anticipated total rent expense but not less than the immediately preceding years rent expense. 11 GENERAL PARTNER LIABILITY AND STATUS As of December 31, 2001 we, directly or through our subsidiaries, are the managing general partner in 7 partnerships. As a general partner of a limited partnership, we are ordinarily liable for partnership obligations including partnership indebtedness, potential liability for construction defects, including those presently unknown or unobserved, and unknown or future environmental liabilities. With respect, however, to the mortgage indebtedness encumbering the partnership properties, we have no personal liability for the repayment of said indebtedness except to the extent a lender suffers loss from : the partnership's failure to properly apply insurance proceeds, to deliver required books and records or to properly apply rents; fraud by the partnership; filing of bankruptcy by the partnership or the Company; or environmental contamination of the secured properties. The cost of any such obligations or claims, whether we bear part or all of the cost, could materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. We manage each Affiliated Partnership property according to a written management contract. The managing general partner of the partnership may cancel some contracts with 30 or 60 days' notice. Limited partners in each partnership may take action on such matters as the removal of the general partners, the request for approval or disapproval of a sale of a property owned by a partnership, or other actions affecting the properties or the partnership. Where we are the general partner of the partnership, termination of the contracts generally would require removal of the Company as general partner by the vote of a majority of the holders of limited partner interests. We would lose management fees if those contracts were terminated. In 2001, we were removed as the manager of one managed ALC outside our geographic area. In October of 2001, we signed management contracts to manage four unaffiliated ALCs. DEPENDENCE ON REIMBURSEMENT BY THIRD-PARTY PAYERS GeriCare was a former subsidiary of the Company that specialized in rehabilitative services, including speech, occupational and physical therapy. Although we disposed of GeriCare in 1998, revenue received or earned before it was disposed that directly or indirectly was billed to the Medicare program is subject to statutory and regulatory changes, retroactive rate adjustments, administrative rulings, audits and funding restrictions. All such restrictions could potentially limit or reduce reimbursement levels for GeriCare's services. Medicare reimbursed GeriCare monthly for services provided on a cost basis, subject to certain adjustments. GeriCare submitted cost reports to the Healthcare Financing Administration ("HCFA") on an annual basis and was subject to having amounts previously reimbursed adjusted retroactively. The result of a retroactive reimbursement would be either a requirement to repay the amount previously reimbursed or an adjustment downward in future reimbursements for services rendered, or both. We have submitted the required documents to HCFA for an audit that began in October 1999, and have prepared cost reports that were filed as of August 22, 1996 and thereafter. Due to delay in recovering these funds and the uncertainty as a result of the on-going audit, we have reserved for the full outstanding receivable at December 31, 2001. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Assisted living. Healthcare is subject to extensive regulation and frequent regulatory change. Currently, no federal rules explicitly define or regulate assisted living. A number of states also have not yet enacted specific assisted living regulations. However, we are, and will continue to be, subject to varying degrees of regulation and licensing by health or social service agencies and other regulatory authorities in the various states and localities where we operate or intend to operate. Changes in, or the adoption of, such laws and regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, could have a significant impact on methods and costs of doing business, and on reimbursement levels from governmental and other payers. In addition, the President and Congress have proposed in the past, and may propose in future, healthcare reforms that could impose additional regulations on the Company or limit the amounts that we may charge for our services. We cannot assess the ultimate timing and impact that any pending or future healthcare reform proposals may have on the assisted living, home healthcare, skilled nursing or healthcare industry in general. No assurance can be given that any such reform will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. SSI Payments. A portion of our revenue comes from residents who receive SSI payments. During 2001, 3% of our residents participated in the SSI program. Revenue from these residents is generally lower than the amounts we 12 receive from our other residents and could be subject to payment delay. We cannot assure that our percentage of revenue received from SSI will not increase, or that the amounts paid by SSI programs will not be further limited. In addition, if we were to become a provider of services under the Medicaid program, we would be subject to Medicaid regulations designed to limit fraud and abuse. Violations of these regulations could result in civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from participation in the Medicaid program. RISKS COMMON TO OUR ASSISTED LIVING OPERATIONS Staffing and Labor Costs. We compete with other providers of assisted living and senior housing to attract and retain qualified personnel. We also rely on the available labor pool of employees, and unemployment rates are very low in many areas where we operate. We make a genuine effort to remain competitive with other companies in our industry. Therefore, if it is necessary for us to increase pay and/or enhance benefits to maintain our competitive status in our industry, our labor costs could rise. We cannot provide assurance that if our labor costs do increase they can be matched by corresponding increases in rental, assisted living or management revenue. Obtaining Residents and Maintaining Rates. As of December 31, 2001, the ALCs we owned or operated generated a combined occupancy rate of 88.2%. This rate was impacted by newly-developed ALCs that may take longer to lease up than anticipated, causing them to incur start-up losses for longer periods of time. Occupancy may drop in our existing ALCs, primarily due to: o changes in the health of residents; o increased competition from other assisted living providers, particularly those offering newer ALCs; o the reassessment of residents' physical and cognitive state; and o changes in management and staffing. There can be no assurance that any ALC will be substantially occupied at assumed rates at any time. In addition, we may only be able to lease up our ALCs to full occupancy at rates below our set rates due to limitations imposed on rates by local market conditions or other factors. Even if we achieve substantial occupancy at our set rates, our set rates may not allow for our projected cost recovery and profit if operating expenses increase. In addition, in order to increase our set rates, we must provide advance notice of rate increases, generally at least 30 days. Because of this advance notice requirement, we are not able to reflect cost increases in our set rates until at least several months after such cost increases occur. In addition, if we fail to generate sufficient revenue, we may be unable to meet minimum rent obligations under our long-term operating leases and to make interest and principal payments on our indebtedness. General Real Estate Risks. The performance of our ALCs is influenced by factors generally affecting real estate investments, including the general economic climate. Other such real estate risks include: o an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, ALCs in a particular market; o the attractiveness of properties to residents; o zoning, rent control, environmental quality regulations or other regulatory restrictions; o competition from other forms of housing; o our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance; and o our ability to control operating costs, including maintenance, insurance premiums and real estate taxes. At the time we acquire existing ALCs or open newly-developed ALCs, we prepare budgets for known or expected rehabilitation expenses. We may incur unknown or unforeseen rehabilitation or lease-up expenses. Real estate investments are also affected by such factors as applicable laws, including tax laws, interest rates and the 13 availability of financing. Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and, therefore, limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. If we fail to integrate or operate acquired or developed ALCs effectively, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, we currently lease ALCs from only eight different landlords. The lease agreements with each landlord contain cross-application provisions that limit our right to renew one lease with a particular landlord without exercising our right to renew all other leases with that landlord. Also, leases with a single landlord contain certain cross-default provisions. Therefore, in order to exercise all lease renewal terms, we will be required to maintain and rehabilitate the leased ALCs on a long-term basis. We anticipate that similar renewal and cross-default provisions will be included in leases with other healthcare REITs or landlords. Bond Financing. We have entered into four long-term leases of ALCs, the acquisition and construction of which have been or are being financed by tax exempt multi-unit housing revenue bonds. In order to meet the lease obligations and to allow the landlord to continue to qualify for favorable tax treatment of the interest payable on the bonds, the ALCs must comply with certain federal income tax requirements. These requirements principally pertain to the maximum income level of a specified percentage of the residents. Should we elect to execute additional leases for ALCs to be constructed with bond financing, the same and possibly additional restrictions are anticipated to be imposed. Failure to satisfy these income requirements will constitute an event of default under the leases, thereby permitting the landlord to terminate the leases. Failure to obtain low-income residents in the sequence and time required could materially affect the lease-up schedule and, therefore, cash flow from such ALCs. Possible Environmental Liabilities. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be held liable for the costs of the removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances. Such laws and regulations often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knows of, or is responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. When we acquire land for development or existing facilities, we typically obtain environmental reports on the properties as part of our due diligence in order to lessen our risk of exposure. Nonetheless, the costs of any required remediation or removal of these substances could be substantial. The owner's liability is generally not limited under such laws and regulations and could exceed the value of the property and the aggregate assets of the owner or operator. The presence of these substances or failure to remediate such substances properly may also adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. Under these laws and regulations, an owner, operator, or any entity that arranges for the disposal of hazardous or toxic substances at a disposal site may also be liable for the costs of any required remediation or removal of the hazardous or toxic substances at the disposal site. When entering into leases with healthcare REITs and other landlords of facilities, we typically enter into environmental indemnity agreements in which we agree to indemnify the landlord against all risk of environmental liability, both during the term of the lease and beyond. In connection with the ownership or operation of our properties or those of our Affiliated Partnerships, we could be liable for these costs, as well as certain other costs, including governmental fines and damages for injuries to persons or properties. Restrictions Imposed by Laws Benefiting Disabled Persons. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. A number of additional federal, state and local laws exist that also may require us to modify existing and planned properties to allow disabled persons to access the properties. We believe that our properties are either substantially in compliance with present requirements or are exempt from them, and we attempt to check for compliance in all ALCs we consider acquiring. However, if required changes cost more than anticipated, or must be made sooner than anticipated, we would incur additional costs. Further legislation may impose additional burdens or restrictions related to access by disabled persons, and the costs of compliance could be substantial. Geographic Concentration. A substantial portion of our business and operations are conducted in California, where 37 out of 58 of our ALCs in operation are located. The market value of these properties and the income generated from properties we manage or lease could be negatively affected by changes in local and regional economic conditions, specific laws and the regulatory environment in the states, and by acts of nature. We cannot provide assurance that such geographic concentration will not have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. 14 Insurance. We believe that we maintain adequate insurance coverage, based on the nature and risks of our business, historical experience and industry standards. Our business entails an inherent risk of liability. In recent years, we 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 we are subject to such suits because of the nature of our business. We cannot assure that claims will not arise that exceed our insurance coverage or are not covered by it. A successful claim against us that is not covered by, or is in excess of, our insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results or liquidity. Claims against us, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, may also have a material adverse effect on our ability to attract residents or expand our business and would consume considerable management time. We must renew our insurance policies annually and can provide no assurance that we will be able to continue to obtain liability insurance coverage in the future or that it will be available on acceptable terms. As a result of poor loss experience, a number of insurance carriers have stopped providing insurance coverage for the long-term care industry, and those remaining have increased premiums and deductibles substantially. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST We are the managing general partner and communities manager for Affiliated Partnerships owning or leasing 13 ALCs and two apartment communities. By serving in both capacities, we have conflicts of interest because of our duty to act in the best interests of the limited partners of those partnerships and our desire to maximize earnings for our shareholders in the operation of those ALCs and apartment communities. TAX CREDIT APARTMENT PARTNERSHIPS In January 2001, we disposed of our interests in five of the eight remaining partnerships in our apartment group (the "Apartment Group"). As part of the tax credit agreements relating to the Apartment Group, we remain responsible for guarantees for the period of time we acted as the general partner for the tax credit apartment partnerships if sufficient projected tax credits were not generated in order to meet agreed-upon levels of tax credit benefits. The Apartment Group required $2.9 million to fund permanent loan shortfalls in 2000, the balance of which was paid in January 2001. Concurrently, we sold our interests in the related partnerships for a gain of $2.9 million. ITEM 2.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS During 2001, the Company was named as a defendant in two lawsuits brought by employees of an ALC owned by a majority-owned partnership. In addition, four other employees of the same ALC filed EEOC claims against the Company arising out of the same facts. Subsequent to year-end, the two lawsuits were submitted to mediation and settled. The four remaining claims will be submitted to binding arbitration. We are from time to time subject to lawsuits and other matters in the normal course of business. While we cannot predict the results with certainty, we do not believe that any liability from any such lawsuits or other matters will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS We did not submit any matters to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. 17 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS The common stock, no par value, of the Company is listed and traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRS." Prior to October 13, 1997, our common stock was listed on the NASDAQ National Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "ARVI." The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing prices for our Common Stock. HIGH LOW ---- --- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 First Quarter............................... 1/1/01 - 3/31/01 $ 0.99 $ 0.56 Second Quarter.............................. 4/1/01 - 6/30/01 $ 1.95 $ 0.70 Third Quarter............................... 7/1/01 - 9/30/01 $ 2.99 $ 1.30 Fourth Quarter.............................. 10/1/01 - 12/31/01 $ 2.08 $ 1.10 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 First Quarter............................... 1/1/00 - 3/31/00 $ 2.19 $ 1.38 Second Quarter.............................. 4/1/00 - 6/30/00 $ 1.44 $ 0.88 Third Quarter............................... 7/1/00 - 9/30/00 $ 1.06 $ 0.81 Fourth Quarter.............................. 10/1/00 - 12/31/00 $ 0.88 $ 0.44 We did not pay dividends in fiscal 2000 or fiscal 2001. We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present policy of our Board of Directors to retain earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that those sales could occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise additional funds in the future in the capital markets. The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to various factors and events, including the liquidity of the market for the shares of our common stock, variations in our operating results, changes in our earnings estimates and/or securities analysts estimates, publicity regarding the industry or the Company and the adoption of new statutes or regulations (or changes in the interpretation of existing statutes or regulations) affecting the healthcare or real estate industries in general or the assisted living industry in particular. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced broad price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the shares of our common stock. CONTROL BY DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS; ANTI-TAKEOVER MEASURES As of December 31, 2001, our directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 47.3% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (exclusive of unexercised options to purchase shares of our common stock). As a result, these shareholders, acting together, would be able to significantly influence many matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors. Our articles of incorporation provide for authorized but unissued preferred stock, the terms of which may be fixed by our board of directors. As a result of Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the number of holders of common stock, our board of directors are classified and the holders of our common stock are not permitted to cumulate votes. Such provisions could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company. In May 1998, we adopted a shareholders rights plan under Delaware law, under which we declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Share Purchase Right on each outstanding share of our common Stock ( a "Right"). Subject to limited exceptions, the Rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires 10% or, in the case of Lazard Freres, our majority stockholder, 50% or more of our common stock or announces a tender offer for 10% or, in the case of Lazard Freres, 50% or more of our common stock. When exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, a certain number of shares of our common stock having a market value at the time of twice the Right's exercisable price. If we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction which has not been approved by our Board of Directors, each Right (except the Rights held by the acquiring person) will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, a certain number of shares of our common stock having a market value at that time of twice the Right's exercise price. 18 ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Selected Financial Data in Item 6 and the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K set forth certain data with respect to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows that should be read in conjunction with the following discussion and analysis. OVERVIEW We are a leading national provider of assisted and independent living services for the elderly. As of December 31, 2001, we operated 58 ALCs containing 6,774 units, including 33 Leased ALCs, 17 Owned ALCs and 8 Managed ALCs. Since commencing operation of ALCs for our own account in April 1994, we embarked upon an expansion strategy and achieved significant growth in revenue resulting primarily from the acquisition of ALCs. We focused our growth efforts on the acquisition and development of additional ALCs and expansion of services to our residents as they "age in place." During 1998, we acquired interests in 11 ALCs and one skilled nursing facility from Hillsdale Group, LP and their affiliates, and opened five newly constructed ALCs. In the last three years we have focused on improving the operations of our existing ALCs. In 2001, we acquired two ALCs through acquiring a controlling interest in ARVP III a California partnership described below. As of December 31, 2001, a substantial portion of our business and operations are conducted in California, where 37 of the 58 ALCs we operate are located. We intend to continue to make the western United States the primary focus of our clustering strategy. Our current attention and resources are focused on enhancing the profitability of our existing core operations. In addition, we plan to divest ALCs that do not expand or enhance one of our geographic clusters or do not meet our financial objectives. In June 2001, we completed the sale of one of our three land sites, one land site was in escrow at December 31, 2001 and one land site has been reclassified to property, furniture and equipment as we do not foresee its sale within the next year. The nine ALCs previously in property held for sale were reclassified to operations in June 2001, as a buyer could not be found. As part of the strategy to focus on our current operations, we embarked on a refinancing campaign. In 2001 we refinanced five ALCs; four ALCs were refinanced with HUD insured debt for $12.5 million at fixed rates of 7.25% to 7.79% for 35 years. One ALC was refinanced with variable debt of $5.2 million at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.6% maturing in September 2004. In December 2000, we refinanced four ALCs for $29.8 million at fixed rates of 8.00% to 8.06% including mortgage insurance of 0.5%. The Company is the managing general partner of American Retirement Villas Properties III, L.P. ("ARVP III"). On October 4, 2001, C3 Capital, LLC, a California limited liability company ("C3 Capital"), commenced a hostile tender offer, which was later withdrawn, to purchase up to 10,000 ARVP III limited partnership units ("units") at a net cash purchase price of $300 per unit (the "Hostile Offer"), and also filed with the SEC a preliminary consent solicitation pursuant to which C3 Capital sought to remove the Company as the managing general partner, and elect C3 Capital as the general partner of ARVP III. 20 In response to the Hostile Offer and the consent solicitation, we, through ARVP Acquisition, L.P., a California limited partnership wholly-owned by us, commenced a tender offer on October 18, 2001 for 10,000 outstanding partnership units of ARVP III for $360 per unit. We amended the tender offer on October 31, 2001 and increased the offer price to $400 per unit from $360 per unit, increased the number of Units we were seeking to purchase from 10,000 units to all outstanding Units, and reduced the minimum number of Units that must be tendered before we are required to purchase any Units to 30% of the outstanding Units (the "Amended Offer"). The amendment to our original offer was in response to C3 Capital's withdrawal of its tender offer, and receipt of a highly conditional offer from Vintage Senior Housing, LLC ("Vintage"), an affiliate of C3 Capital, to purchase all of ARVP III's non-cash assets for $19.5 million. Vintage's offer was subject to, among other things, significant due diligence and financing contingencies. In addition, on November 9, 2001 we received a revised offer from Vintage increasing the purchase price for the assets of ARVP III to $20 million. In December, 2001 ARVP Acquisition, L.P., had acquired an additional 51.8% for a total of 52.1% of the partnership units of ARVP III. Accordingly, ARVP III is included in our consolidated financial statements from December 14, 2001. (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). In 1999, ARVP II obtained financing and, through its wholly owned subsidiary ARVP II, LLC, purchased the landlord's interest in four previously leased ALCs for approximately $14.3 million. In October 2001 we were awarded four management contracts, two in Texas totaling 126 units and two in New Mexico totaling 92 units. Subsequent to year-end we were awarded a management contract for a newly completed ALC that is in the lease-up stage in California. Newly opened ALCs are expected to incur operating losses until sufficient occupancy levels and operating efficiencies are achieved. Based upon recent experience, we believe that an ALC typically achieves its targeted occupancy level 18 to 24 months from the commencement of operations. Accordingly, we will require substantial liquidity to maintain the operations of newly opened ALCs. If sufficient occupancy levels are not achieved within reasonable periods, our results of operations, financial position and liquidity could be materially and adversely impacted. On January 1, 2001, Abdo H. Khoury, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was promoted to President. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries, which include limited partnerships and limited liability companies in which we have controlling interests, have been consolidated into the financial statements. In December 2001, we acquired an additional 51.8% interest in American Retirement Villas Properties III, L.P. ("ARVP III"). The balance sheet on December 31, 2001 includes the accounts of ARVP III while the income statement has the operations from December 14, 2001; the date we acquired greater than 50% of the partnership units. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. In 1998, we pursued an additional development strategy by entering into joint ventures ("LLCs") designed to help us finance development and renovation projects and to mitigate the impact of start-up losses associated with the opening of newly constructed ALCs. The joint ventures were formed to finance and manage the substantial renovation of existing ALCs acquired in 1998 in the Hillsdale transaction and to construct three new communities on land sites we owned. Participants in the joint ventures with us are a third-party investor and a third-party developer. The LLCs contracted with the developer to provide development services to perform the renovation and construction. We manage four of the properties operated by the joint ventures for an amount equal to three percent of gross revenues. One property is managed by an unrelated third party. We account for our investment in the joint ventures using the equity method and losses incurred by the LLCs will be allocated disproportionately to the joint venture partners based upon their assumption of risk. In 2000 and 2001, certain joint venture partner's capital was reduced to zero, consequently, the losses from the joint venture was allocated to us based upon our capital or percentage interest. We have agreed to fund any operating deficits incurred in connection with the operation of the five joint venture projects, up to an aggregate amount of $6.0 million for all of the development properties and $6.0 million for all of the renovation properties subject to a $9.0 million cap. The 21 advances, which are considered capital contributions to the LLC, are non-interest bearing and will be repaid only if sufficient funds are available in accordance with the terms of the operating agreements of the respective LLCs. This agreement will remain in effect from the commencement of operations of the project until the earlier to occur of 18 months after the project has achieved stabilization, the sale of the project to a third-party, or the purchase by the Company of the membership interests of the project owner. Our current funding of operating deficits since inception in 1998 is $1.5 million. We will have an option to purchase the joint venturer's interest in the LLCs when the ALCs reach stabilization, at a purchase price that is the greater of fair market value or an amount that generates a guaranteed internal rate of return on the joint venturer's capital contribution. In 2000 we determined that the value of the LLCs was impaired based upon our review of the projected cash flows, accordingly, we wrote down our investment by $5.7 million, to reflect the fair value. In 2001 we declined the option to purchase two of the LLCs that had reached stabilization and in accordance with the LLCs' operating agreement we no longer serve as a manager of the two LLCs. Accounting for Long-lived Assets We review our long-lived assets, including goodwill, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from using the assets and eventually disposing of them. Cash flows are reviewed at the community level which is the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. 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. For long-lived assets held for sale, fair value is reduced for costs to sell. Revenue Recognition We recognize rental, assisted living services and skilled nursing facility revenue from owned and leased communities on a monthly basis as earned. We receive fees for property management and partnership administration services from managed communities and recognize such fees as earned. THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 The following table sets forth a comparison of the year ended December 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000. The percentage increase (decrease) are based upon whole numbers and will not compute using rounded numbers.

The $0.3 million increase in skilled nursing facility revenue in 2001 is due to the fact that we began managing the facility ourselves on April 1, 2000. Previously it was managed by an unrelated third party and was included in other income and expense. Management fees from affiliates and others increased $0.4 million in 2001 due to the increase in the number of management contracts from four to eight during the fourth quarter of 2001. Assisted living community operating expense increased $1.1 million in 2001 due to: o increased wages of staff; and o increase in utilities and insurance costs; offset by o the sale of three ALCs during the second quarter of 2000. The decrease in assisted living community lease expense of $0.7 million in 2001 is primarily due to: o the sale of three ALCs during the second quarter of 2000; offset by o increases in lease payments due to the increase in the Consumer Price Index, pursuant to the lease terms. General and administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million in 2001 due to the following: o expense management yielded $1.5 million of reductions in payroll costs, office expense, travel and related expenses and consulting costs; and o no additional provision for doubtful accounts was required in 2001 whereas $0.8 million was recorded in 2000 due to the uncertainty of collection as a result of an audit by the intermediary for Medicare. The impairment loss in 2000 was due to the following: o an additional $0.5 million impairment loss on the properties held for sale; and o a $5.7 million impairment loss on the investment in joint ventures that had carrying values in excess of fair value and met the criteria for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121. 23 Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $0.6 million due to the following: o the sale of three ALCs during the second quarter of 2000; o the value of some of the properties held for sale which were subsequently transferred back into operations, were impaired resulting in a lower carrying value; partially offset by o an increase in depreciation related to capital expenditures. Interest income decreased in 2001 due to lower interest rates and lower average cash balances carried by us during 2001 as compared to 2000. Interest expense increased in 2001 $0.6 million due to the increase in debt due to refinancing. Minority interest in income of majority owned entities increased $0.9 million due to improved performance of the underlying ALCs. Gain on the sale of properties and partnership interests in 2001 of $2.9 million is a result of the sale of the apartment partnership interest. The $0.5 million gain from the sale of assets in 2000 was due to the sale of a parcel of land in Texas that was in property held for sale. Equity in income of partnerships was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The income in 2000 is a result of the reduction in our estimated liabilities under guarantees for certain partnerships. For the year ended December 31, 2001 the $1.8 million in the equity in loss of partnerships is due to the losses in the unconsolidated joint ventures. THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 The following table sets forth a comparison of the year ended December 31, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999. The percentage increase (decrease) are based upon whole numbers and will not compute using rounded numbers.

The $2.0 million increase in skilled nursing facility revenue in 2000 is due to the fact that we began managing the facility ourselves on April 1, 2000. Previously it was managed by an unrelated third party and was included in other income and expense. Management fees from affiliates and others decreased $0.2 million due to the decrease in the number of management contracts to six for two quarters during 2000. Assisted living community operating expense decreased $0.6 million in 2000 due to: o the sale of three of the ALCs during the second quarter of 2000; offset by o staffing requirements related to increased assisted living services provided; and o increased wages of staff. The decrease in assisted living community lease expense of $0.6 million in 2000 is primarily due to the sale of three ALCs during the second quarter of 2000. General and administrative expenses decreased $2.7 million due to the following: o expenses incurred in connection with the lawsuits with Kapson, Atria and Lazard Freres and Emeritus were less in 2000 as we settled the lawsuits in the middle of 1999; and o in 2000 we made substantial reductions in staffing under the current management team; and o the provision of $1.0 million in 1999 for the Medicare receivables held by GeriCare which was discontinued in 1997, versus $0.8 million additional provision booked in 2000 due to the uncertainty of collection as a result of an audit by the intermediary for Medicare. The impairment loss in 1999 was due to the following: 25 o an $8.6 million impairment loss which represents a write down of the carrying values in excess of fair market value of the property held for sale; and o a $7.7 million write off for Rossmore House which included $3.1 million of goodwill and $4.6 million for reduction in carrying value as a result of the decision to sell this facility. The impairment loss in 2000 was due to the following: o an additional $0.5 million impairment loss on the properties held for sale; and o a $5.7 million impairment loss on the investment in joint ventures that have carrying values in excess of fair value and met the criteria for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121. Depreciation and amortization expenses remained relatively constant in 2000. Expected decreases due to sale of ALCs during 2000 were offset by an increase in depreciation related to capital expenditures. Interest income increased due to higher average cash balances carried by us during 2000 as compared to 1999. Interest expense decreased $0.6 million in 2000 due to extinguishment of debt. Minority interest in income of majority owned entities increased $1.0 million in 2000 due to the interest expense for the nine refinanced properties held by our majority owned entities. The $0.5 million gain from the sale of assets in 2000 was due to the sale of a parcel of land in Texas that was in property held for sale. The $ 1.9 million gain in 1999 was due to the sale of assets to Dominium for a portion of the apartment group. Equity in income of partnerships was $ 0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and a loss of $ 0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The income in 2000 is a result of the reduction in our estimated liabilities under guarantees for certain partnerships. The 1999 expense is the result of operating costs of the Apartment Group, offset by a $ 1.0 million reduction in the estimated liability under guarantees for certain partnerships. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balances were $13.2 million and $16.8 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Working capital decreased to $1.2 million as of December 31, 2001 compared to working capital of $10.5 million at December 31, 2000, resulting primarily from the increase in current maturity of long term debt for one ALC. In our unrestricted cash balances of $13.2 million, $7.7 million are held by our consolidated partnerships in which we have ownership of 52.1% to 60.5%. Cash can only be used to pay the consolidated partnership's obligations and the excess distributed to all partners. Consequently, our access to this cash is limited to the distribution received. During 2001, cash provided by operating activities was $2.5 million compared to $2.1 million used during 2000 and $11.3 million used in 1999. The cash provided by operating activities during 2001 was a result of: o our net income of $1.0 million; adjusted for o $7.9 million non-cash charge of depreciation and amortization expense; 26 o $0.8 million of minority interest in income of majority owned entities; offset by o $2.2 million decrease in net liabilities; o $2.9 million gain on sale of partnership interests in tax credit apartments; and o $2.1 million for gain on extraordinary item on early extingishment of debt. The cash used in operating activities during 2000 was a result of: o net income of $6.5 million; adjusted for non-cash charges of: o $6.2 million loss recorded for impairment of long-lived assets; and o $8.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense; offset by o $20.6 million for gain on extraordinary item on early extinguishment of debt; and o $2.7 million decrease in net liabilities. The cash used in operating activities during 1999 was a result of: o our net loss of $27.7 million; adjusted for non-cash charges (credits) of: o $16.4 million loss recorded for impairment of long-lived assets; o $8.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense; o $1.3 million for the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle; offset by o $7.0 million for gain on extraordinary item on early extinguishment of debt; o $0.9 million of minority interest in income of majority owned entities; offset by o $0.5 million decrease in net liabilities; o $1.9 million for gain on sale of assets of the apartment division to Dominium; and o $1.3 million for the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principles. In 2001, cash used in investing activities was $3.4 million as compared to $1.9 million in 2000, and $11.9 million provided by investing activities in 1999. The cash used in investing activities during 2001 was a result of: o $1.3 million related to the acquisition of an additional 51.8% ownership interest in American Retirement Villas Properties III, L.P; and o $6.1 million of purchases of property, furniture and equipment; offset by o $0.4 million increase in security deposits; o $0.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of a land site in Colorado; and 27 o $2.9 million for the proceeds from the sale of our partnership interest in five apartment partnerships. The cash used in investing activities during 2000 was a result of: o $5.2 million for purchase of property, furniture and equipment; and o $0.5 million increase in security deposit on leased properties; offset by o $3.8 million proceeds for sale of assets, net of cost. The cash provided by investing activities during 1999 was a result of: o $39.8 million proceeds for sale of ALCs, net of cost; o $1.9 million proceeds for sale of partnership interests; offset by o $14.7 million for purchase of previously leased ALCs; o $7.4 million for purchase of property, furniture and equipment; o $6.4 million increase in security deposit on leased properties; and o $1.3 million for the contribution into a joint venture. In 2001, the cash used by financing activities was $5.6 million as compared to $6.2 million provided for 2000 and $2.1 million provided during 1999. The cash used by financing activities during 2001 was a result of: o $12.4 million of repayments of notes payable; o $5.7 million for repayment of subordinated debt; o $2.5 million for distributions to minority partners; and o $0.7 million of payments for loan fees; offset by o $18.7 million borrowings under refinancings. The cash provided by financing activities during 2000 was a result of: o $10.0 million borrowings under non-secured line of credit; o $41.0 million of borrowing under notes payable; offset by: o $33.7 million of repayments of notes payable; o $10.9 million of repayments of subordinated debt offset by $1.3 million of associated costs; o $0.2 million of distributions paid to our minority partners in certain majority owned entities; and o $1.3 million of loan fees. 28 The cash provided by financing activities during 1999 was a result of: o $41.8 million refinancing proceeds; o $14.7 million of borrowing under notes payable for purchase of previously leased ALCs; o $2.6 million of borrowing under notes payable; offset by: o $45.2 million of repayments of notes payable; o $9.0 million of distributions paid to our minority partners in certain majority owned entities; o $1.0 million of repayments of subordinated debt; and o $1.8 million of loan fees. In 2001, we refinanced five owned ALCs for $17.7 million with fixed interest rates of 7.25%-7.79% for 35-years. Subsequent to year end we refinanced two ALCs owned by two of our majority owned partnerships. One refinancing increased the loan to $2.4 million for 35 years at an interest rate of 7.56%. The other refinancing amended one of the existing notes to (i) increase the principal sum of the existing loan by approximately $4.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date of the existing loans to July 1, 2003, and (iii) change the interest rate of the existing loan to 8.5%. In addition, we restructured the $1.5 million debt to our major shareholder to extend its maturity to April 2003 for a nominal extension fee. Subsequent to year-end we received an extension on a $12.3 million loan for an ALC until March 2003, while we work to refinance this property into a 35-year mortgage. In January, 2001 we restructured 16 ALC leases into two lease pools of 8 ALCs each. In each restructured pool, the lease termination date was extended through fiscal 2021. As part of the restructure, we are allowed to finance the additional rent expense of up to $1.0 million during 2001, $1.0 million in 2002, $1.5 million in 2003, $1.0 million in 2004 and $0.5 million in 2005, converting this into a note payable with a due date of December 31, 2010 at a fixed interest rate of 7%. Interest only payments are required monthly with principal payments beginning in 2006 at $1.0 million per year. We also incurred a restructuring fee of $4.5 million payable at $1.5 million for each of the first three years. The restructured lease agreements provide for reimbursement to us from the landlord of capital improvement expenditures up to $3.0 million. The various debt and lease agreements contain restrictive covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios, including current ratio, working capital, minimum net worth, and debt service coverage, among others. At December 31, 2001, we were in compliance with all covenants. In 1999, we began retiring portions of our 6 3/4% convertible subordinated debt. During 1999, we issued a total of 799,566 shares of our common stock and paid a total of $1.0 million to certain of our bondholders in exchange for a total of $9.2 million principal amount of the subordinated notes due 2006 that were held by those bondholders. These transactions resulted in an extraordinary gain of $7.0 million net of tax for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. During 2000, we issued a total of 781,025 shares of our common stock and paid a total of $9.6 million to additional bondholders in exchange for a total of $33.0 million in principal amount of the subordinated notes held by those bondholders which yielded an extraordinary gain of $20.6 million net of tax and costs. In 2001 we paid a total of $5.7 million to certain of our bondholders in exchange for a total of $8.0 million principal amount of the subordinated notes. The transactions for the year ended December 31, 2001, resulted in an extraordinary gain of $2.1 million net of tax and costs. Out of $57.5 million we have retired a total of $50.2 million of our public debt resulting in extraordinary gains of $29.5 million to date net of tax and costs. Pursuant to the terms of an Operating Deficit Payment Agreement, the Company has agreed to fund any operating deficits incurred in connection with the operation of five joint venture projects operating as limited liability companies ("LLC"), up to an aggregate amount of $6.0 million for all of the development properties and $6.0 million for all of the renovation properties subject to a $9.0 million cap. The advances, which are considered capital contributions to the LLC, are non-interest bearing and will be repaid only if sufficient funds are available in accordance with the terms of the operating agreements of the respective LLCs. This agreement will remain in effect from the commencement of operations of the project until the earlier to occur of 18 months after the project has achieved stabilization, the sale of the project to a third-party, or the purchase by the Company of the membership 29 interests of the project owner. As of December 31, 2001, operating deficit advances of $1.5 million had been funded since inception in 1998. We declined to purchase two of the joint venture properties and in accordance with the operating agreement we were terminated as the manager of those LLCs. In addition we are no longer managing one of the properties that is outside our geographic clustering strategy. We believe that our existing liquidity, our ability to sell ALCs and land sites which do not meet our financial objectives or geographic clustering strategy and our ability to refinance certain owned ALCs and investments will provide us with adequate resources to meet our current operating and investing needs. At December 31, 2001 we did not generate sufficient cash from operations to fund recurring working capital and capital expenditure requirements. We may be required from time to time to incur additional indebtedness or issue additional debt or equity securities to finance our strategy, including the rehabilitation of ALCs as well as other capital expenditures. We anticipate that we will be able to obtain the additional financing; however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES Operating revenue from ALCs we operate is the primary source of our revenue. These ALCs are affected by rental rates which are highly dependent upon market conditions and the competitive environments where the communities are located. Employee compensation is the principal cost element of property operations. Although there can be no assurance we will be able to continue to do so, we have been able historically to offset the effects of inflation on salaries and other operating expenses by increasing rental and assisted living rates. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our notes payable. Currently, we do not utilize interest rate swaps. The purpose of the following analysis is to provide a framework to understand our sensitivity to hypothetical changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2001. You should be aware that many of the statements contained in this section are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements." For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact fair value of the debt instrument, but do affect our future earnings and cash flows. We do 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 we would be required to refinance such debt. Holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each one-percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in variable rate interest incurred for the coming year of approximately $350,000. The table below details the principal amount and the average interest rates of notes payable in each category based upon the expected maturity dates. The fair value estimates for notes payable are based upon future discounted cash flows of similar type notes or quoted market prices for similar loans. The carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates fair value due to the frequency of re-pricing of this debt. Our fixed rate debt consists of convertible subordinated notes payable and mortgage payables. The fixed rate debt bears interest at rates that approximate current market value except for the convertible subordinated debt which bears interest at 6.75%. EXPECTED MATURITY DATA FAIR 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 THEREAFTER TOTAL VALUE ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------- ----- ----- Fixed rate debt.................... $ 578 $ 8,372 $ 544 $ 587 $ 8,875 $ 58,154 $77,110 $77,110 Average interest rate.............. 8.05% 7.99% 7.92% 7.92% 8.00% 8.00% Variable rate debt................. $6,691 $11,877 $ 5,400 $ 353 $ 353 $ 10,547 $35,221 $35,221 Average interest rate.............. 6.63% 6.02% 4.32% 4.07% 4.07% 4.07% We do not believe that the future market rate risks related to the above securities will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operation or liquidity. 30 ITEM 8.

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule described in Item 14(a)(2). These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ARV Assisted Living, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. /s/ KPMG LLP Orange County, California March 15, 2002 F-1 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC.

F-6 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 (1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES GENERAL ARV Assisted Living, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") own, operate, acquire and develop assisted living communities that provide housing to senior citizens, some of whom require assistance with the activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and grooming. At December 31, 2001, we operated 58 assisted living communities ("ALCs") in ten states including 17 which we own ("Owned ALCs"), 33 which we operate pursuant to long-term operating leases ("Leased ALCs") and 8 in which we serve as the property manager ("Managed ALCs"). Limited partnerships or limited liability companies for which we serve as managing general partner or member and community manager and in which we have majority ownership interest are referred to as Affiliated Partnerships. Thirty-seven of the ALCs are located in California. We also manage 3 affordable senior and multifamily apartments (the "Apartment Group"), in 2 of which we serve as the general partner. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries, which include limited partnerships and limited liability companies in which we have controlling interests, have been consolidated into the financial statements. In December 2001, we acquired an additional 51.8% interest in American Retirement Villas Properties III, L.P. ("ARVP III"). The balance sheet on December 31, 2001 includes the accounts of ARVP III while the statement of operations includes the operations from December 14, 2001; the date we acquired greater than 50% of the partnership units. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS Included in the consolidated financial statements are partnerships in which we own from 52.1% to 60.5%. The following is a recap of the assets and liabilities of those partnerships as of December 31, 2001 and 2000: 2001 2000 ------- ------- Cash $ 7,668 $ 2,912 Other current assets 3,954 3,425 Total assets 72,399 51,041 Current liabilities 4,194 2,610 Long term debt 60,675 40,943 Net equity 7,221 6,424 USE OF ESTIMATES In the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. F-7 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. IMPOUNDS Impounds consist of cash deposits made by the Company to lenders in accordance with the loan agreements. ADVERTISING Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company continues to follow the guidance of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Consequently, compensation related to stock options reflects the difference between the grant price and the fair value of the underlying common shares at the grant date. The Company issues stock options to employees with a grant price equal to the market value of common stock on the grant date. As required by SFAS No. 123, the Company discloses in Note 5 "Stock Options" the pro forma effect on operations, as if compensation costs were recorded at the estimated fair value of the stock options granted. PROPERTY, FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT 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 Furniture, fixtures and equipment............................................................ 3 to 7 years Property, furniture and equipment consisted of the following (in thousands): DECEMBER 31, -------------------------- 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- Land......................................................................... $ 21,644 $ 19,404 Buildings and improvements................................................... 104,982 84,891 Furniture, fixtures and equipment............................................ 18,251 13,631 ---------- ---------- 144,877 117,926 Accumulated depreciation..................................................... (27,948) (17,465) ---------- ---------- $ 116,929 $ 100,461 ========== ========== F-8 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 GOODWILL Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired assets over the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets acquired. Goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over 35 years and includes accumulated amortization of $2,124,000 and $1,539,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. We periodically review our goodwill to assess its recoverability and impairments will be recognized in the statement of operations if an impairment is determined to have occurred. If we dispose of a significant segment of the operations acquired which generated goodwill, we would allocate the goodwill to the disposal based upon its fair value relative to the fair value of all assets acquired. Recoverability of goodwill is determined based on undiscounted future operating cash flows from the related business unit. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds. Management believes SFAS 142 ("Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" - see New Accounting Pronouncements) will not have a material impact on the Company's, financial position, results of operation or cash flows. ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS We review our long-lived assets, including goodwill, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from using the assets and eventually disposing of them. Cash flows are reviewed at the community level which is the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. 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. For long-lived assets held for sale, fair value is reduced for costs to sell. In 1998, our board of directors decided to sell five Owned ALCs and five development land sites located outside of California. In addition, in 1999 we decided to sell twelve leased ALCs outside the Western United States. These decisions were in keeping with our strategy to focus our efforts on occupancy gains and to lease up ALCs faster. The fair value of the assets, based upon the offers we received from potential buyers, was below the carrying amount of the assets. We recorded an impairment loss of $6.2 million in 2000 and $16.4 million in 1999 on properties, goodwill and investments that did not meet the Company's strategy of focusing in the western United States or were impaired based upon management's analysis described above. Due to market conditions no buyer could be found for the nine ALCs held for sale at December 31, 2000 and in June of 2001, the Company decided to retain these ALCs. The remaining land site in properties held for sale at December 31, 2001 is currently in escrow. INVESTMENTS We are the general partner in five limited partnerships which operate ALCs, four of which are consolidated for the entire 2001 year. We acquired a controlling interest in the remaining partnership in December 2001. As of December 31, 2000 we were also a general partner in two tax credit partnerships (ownership is generally less than 1%). We account for our investment in partnerships where we can exercise significant influence using the equity method because we have less than a controlling interest. Under the terms of the partnership agreements, profits and losses are allocated to the general and limited partners in specified ratios. We generally have unlimited liability for obligations of certain partnerships in which we are the general partner. Liabilities under these obligations have generally not been significant. We have unlimited liability under separate guarantees related to these partnerships. Under Statement of Position No. 78-9, "Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures," we record our obligations under these agreements as a component of our equity in the income or losses of these partnerships. In 1998, we pursued an additional development strategy by entering into joint ventures ("LLCs") designed to help us finance development and renovation projects and to mitigate the impact of start-up losses associated with the F-9 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 opening of newly constructed ALCs. The joint ventures were formed to finance and manage the substantial renovation of existing ALCs acquired in 1998 in the Hillsdale transaction and to construct three new communities on land sites we owned. Participants in the joint ventures with us are a third-party investor and a third-party developer. The LLCs contracted with the developer to provide development services to perform the renovation and construction. We manage four of the properties operated by the joint ventures for an amount equal to three percent of gross revenues. One property is managed by an unrelated third party. We account for our investment in the joint ventures using the equity method and losses incurred by the LLCs are allocated disproportionately to the joint venture partners based upon their assumption of risk. In 2000 and 2001, certain joint venture partner's capital was reduced to zero, consequently, the losses from the joint venture were allocated to us based upon our capital or percentage interest. We have agreed to fund any operating deficits incurred in connection with the operation of the five joint venture projects, up to an aggregate amount of $6.0 million for all of the development properties and $6.0 million for all of the renovation properties subject to a $9.0 million cap. The advances, which are considered capital contributions to the LLC, are non-interest bearing and will be repaid only if sufficient funds are available in accordance with the terms of the operating agreements of the respective LLCs. This agreement will remain in effect from the commencement of operations of the project until the earlier to occur of 18 months after the project has achieved stabilization, the sale of the project to a third-party, or the purchase by the Company of the membership interests of the project owner. Our current funding of operating deficits since inception in 1998 is $1.5 million. We will have an option to purchase the joint venturer's interest in the LLCs when the ALCs reach stabilization, at a purchase price that is the greater of fair market value or an amount that generates a guaranteed internal rate of return on the joint venturer's capital contribution. In 2000 we determined that the value of certain of the LLCs was impaired based upon our review of the projected cash flows, accordingly, we wrote down our investment by $5.7 million, to reflect the fair value. In 2001 we declined the option to purchase two of the LLCs that had reached stabilization and in accordance with the LLCs' operating agreement we no longer serve as a manager of the two LLCs. INCOME TAXES We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to adjust net deferred tax assets to the amount which management believes will more likely than not be recoverable. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize rental, assisted living services and skilled nursing facility revenue from owned and leased communities on a monthly basis as earned. We receive fees for property management and partnership administration services from managed communities and recognize such fees as earned. ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS Certain communities were sold subject to leaseback provisions under operating leases. Gains where recorded were deferred and amortized into income over the lives of the leases. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE We utilize Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 128 "Earnings Per Share", in determining earnings (loss) per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes all dilution and is based upon the weighted average number of F-10 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities include convertible notes, warrants and stock options which convert to 1,504,003, 1,729,870, and 2,598,654, shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. ACCOUNTING FOR START-UP COSTS In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The SOP provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up activities and organizational costs. It requires costs of start-up activities and organizational costs to be expensed when incurred and, upon adoption, the write-off as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of any previously capitalized start-up or organizational costs. We adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5 in the first quarter of 1999. The carrying amounts of capitalized start-up costs were approximately $1.3 million. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131"). This standard requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions on a community by community basis. Accordingly, each community is considered an "operating segment" under SFAS 131. However, SFAS 131 did not have an impact on the financial statements because the communities have similar economic characteristics, as defined by SFAS 131, and meet the criteria for aggregation into one "reportable segment". RECLASSIFICATIONS We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the December 31, 2001 presentation. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations", SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," and SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS 141 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 142 eliminate the amortization of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives and require an impairment assessment at least annually by applying a fair-value-based test. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. Management believes SFAS 142 will not have a material impact on the Company's, financial position, results of operation or cash flows. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 143 on January 1, 2002. Management believes the adoption of SFAS 143 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. On October 3, 2001 the FASB issued SFAS 144 Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long Lived Assets". SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of". However, SFAS 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to F-11 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002. Management has not determined the impact SFAS 144 will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. (2) ACQUISITIONS In December 2001, we purchased approximately 9,667 units (51.8%) of ARVP III. ARVP III has two ALCs one located in Arizona with 164 units and one located in California with 123 units. We accounted for this transaction using the purchase method and paid approximately $4.1 million in cash for the units acquired. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Current Assets $ 3,796 Property and equipment 15,230 Intangibles and other assets 289 -------- Total assets 19,315 Current liabilities 1,057 Long-term debt 13,592 -------- Total liabilities 14,649 Net assets acquired 4,666 Less minority interest 502 -------- Net value to ARV $ 4,164 ======== One loan is secured by an ALC for $5.8 million, at an 8.06% fixed interest rate due in February 2036. The other ALC has a mortgage of $8.0 million, at 9.15% interest due January 2003. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, we amended one of the existing notes to (i) increase the principal sum of the existing loan by approximately $4.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date of the existing loan to July 1, 2003, and (iii) change the interest rate of the existing loan to 8.5%. The purchase price paid in excess of the book value of the net assets acquired required a $3.5 million step-up in basis. This step-up in basis is being amortized over the remaining useful life of the underlying existing assets. The pro forma effect on the statement of operations for the acquisition is as if it had been acquired as of January 1, 2000 is as follows: ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC.

The lender terminated the loan commitment and underlying interest rate lock in October 1998 due to adverse market conditions. The lender returned $0.4 million of the interest rate lock fees in January 1999 and $0.5 million in June 2000 as full and final settlement. We included the amounts received in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Subsequent to year end we refinanced two ALCs owned by two of our majority owned partnerships. One refinancing increased the loan to $2.4 million for 35 years at an interest rate of 7.56%. The other refinancing amended one of the existing notes to (i) increase the principal sum of the existing loan by approximately $4.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date of the existing loans to July 1, 2003, and (iii) change the interest rate of the existing loan to 8.5%. In addition, we extended the maturity on one mortgage of $12.3 million until March 2003 while we secure long-term financing. The current portion of notes payable at December 31, 2001, has been adjusted to reflect the impact of these transactions. The various debt agreements contain restrictive covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios, including current ratio, working capital, minimum net worth, debt-to-equity and debt service coverage, among others. At December 31, 2001, we were in compliance with the debt covenants. (4) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS SAVINGS PLAN Effective January 1, 1997, we established a savings plan (the "Savings Plan") that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Savings Plan, participating employees who are at least 21 years of age may defer a portion of their pretax earnings, up to the Internal Revenue Service annual contribution limit. We match 25% of each employee's contributions up to a maximum of 6% of the employee's earnings. Employees are eligible to enroll at the first enrollment date following the start of their employment (July 1 or January 1). We match employees' contributions beginning on the first enrollment date following one year of service or 1,000 hours of service. Our expense related to the Savings Plan was approximately $171,000, $175,000, and $191,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. (5) STOCK OPTIONS The Company has two stock option plans that provide for the granting of stock options to officers, directors, consultants and key employees. The objectives of these plans include attracting and retaining the best personnel, providing for additional performance incentives, and promoting the success of the Company by providing employees the opportunity to acquire common stock. We have elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations in accounting for employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options usually equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. The 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan of ARV Assisted Living, Inc. is two-tiered, one for the benefit of key employees and consultants and one for the benefit of non-employee directors. The maximum number of shares F-14 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 which may be issued under the Plan is 15% of the total outstanding shares at the end of the fiscal year. The number of shares which may be issued for Incentive Stock Options is limited to 1,155,666 shares. The 1999 Stock Option Plan of ARV Assisted Living, Inc. is two-tiered and very similar to our 1995 Stock Option and Incentive plan. The maximum number of shares which may be granted under the 1999 and 1995 Plans are 2,400,000 plus 15% of any increase in total outstanding shares since June 30, 1999. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 additional options granted were 80,000 and 781,025 respectively. As of December 31, 2001 there are 859,129 Incentive Stock Options available for grant under the 1999 and 1995 Plans. Options granted under both stock option plans vest over periods ranging from one and one-half to five years from the date of grant. A summary of stock option plans at December 31, 2001 is as follows: SHARES UNDER OUTSTANDING OPTIONS PRICE PER SHARE ------------ --------------- Authorization of shares........................................................ 2,637,089 N/A Balance at December 31, 1998 1,087,050 $4.75 - 16.25 Options granted................................................................ 1,745,000 $1.63 - 14.00 Options exercised.............................................................. -- N/A Options canceled...............................................................

(665,752) $0.56 - 14.00 ----------- Balance at December 31, 2001 1,753,800 $0.50 - 14.00 =========== Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if we have accounted for our employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with a weighted-average expected life of the option of 10 years. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of trade options, and because changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, actual fair values may differ from those estimates. The following represents the estimated fair value of stock options granted and the assumptions used for calculation for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999: 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- Average estimated fair value per option at grant date.............. $ 1.03 $ 5.10 $ 3.00 Average exercise price per option granted.......................... $ 1.40 $ 5.10 $ 3.00 Expected Stock volatility.......................................... 60% 60% 60% Risk -- free interest rate.......................................... 5.0% 5.0% 5.0% F-15 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 Option term -- years................................................ 10 10 10 Stock dividend yield............................................... -- -- -- For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.

We have established a valuation allowance for 100 percent of the deferred tax assets as, in our best estimate, it is not likely to be realized in the near term. (7) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Fees and other amounts receivable from affiliates of $7,000, $718,000 and $1,374,000 at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, consist of receivables related to management services we rendered and non-interest bearing expense advances to various partnerships. Amounts due from affiliates are generally expected to be repaid in subsequent years with cash from operations or from bank financing obtained by the affiliates. Related management fee revenue from affiliates totals $1,002,000, $629,000, and $722,000 during the year ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We are reimbursed for certain expenses such as payroll and retirement benefit, supplies and other expenses paid on behalf of Affiliated Partnerships. During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, the expenses incurred on behalf of affiliates and the related reimbursements from these affiliates amounted to approximately $25.0 million, $22.3 million, and $17.8 million, respectively. We account for these reimbursements as a reduction of the related expenses. Mr. R. Bruce Andrews, a former member of our Board of Directors, is Chief Executive Officer of Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. ("NHP"), a healthcare REIT. NHP is the owner of 16 ALCs we lease. Of that number, leases for 13 ALCs were entered into prior to November 29, 1995, the date Mr. Andrews became a Board member, and leases for three ALCs were entered into during Mr. Andrews' tenure as a board member. Aggregate lease payments F-17 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 under these leases were approximately $13.3 million, $12.5 million, and $11.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. (8) SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS PLAN In May 1998, we adopted a shareholders rights plan under which we have declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Share Purchase Right on each outstanding share of our common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, the Rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires 10% or , in the case of Lazard Freres Real Estate Investors, LLC ("Lazard" or "LFREI"), 50% or more of our stock or announces a tender offer for 10% or, in the case of LFREI, 50% or more of the common stock. When exercisable, each Right (except the Rights held by the acquiring person) will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, a number of our common shares having a market value at the time of twice the Right's exercisable price. If we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction which has not been approved by our Board of Directors, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, a number of the acquiring company's common shares having a market value at that time of twice the Right's exercise price. (9) ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY LEASES We lease 33 ALCs. The original leases expired from 2006 to 2017, and contained two to three renewal options ranging from five to ten years. In January, 2001 we restructured 16 ALC leases into two lease pools of 8 ALCs each. In each restructured pool, the lease termination date was extended through fiscal 2021. As part of the restructure, we are allowed to finance the additional rent expense of up to $1.0 million during 2001, $1.0 million in 2002, $1.5 million in 2003, $1.0 million in 2004 and $0.5 million in 2005, converting into a note, at 7% interest. Interest only is payable monthly through 2005, and principal payments of $1.0 million per year beginning in 2006 with a due date of December 31, 2010. We also incurred a restructuring fee of $4.5 million payable at $1.5 million for each of the first three years. The restructuring fee is accounted for on a straight-line basis. The restructured lease agreements provide for reimbursement to us from the landlord of capital improvement expenditures up to $3.0 million. Generally, leases for Leased ALCs owned by a common landlord contain cross default provisions permitting the lessor to declare a default under all leases in the event of default on one lease. The lease agreements with each landlord are interconnected in that we will not be entitled to exercise our right to renew one lease with a particular landlord without exercising our right to renew all other leases with that landlord. We anticipate that similar renewal and cross-default provisions will be included in leases with other landlords. Minimum lease payments required under assisted living community operating leases in effect at December 31, 2001 are as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) -------------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31: 2002................................................................................ $ 32,947 2003................................................................................ 33,380 2004................................................................................ 33,731 2005................................................................................ 34,285 2006................................................................................ 34,858 Thereafter.......................................................................... 384,538 -------------- $ 553,739 ============== F-18 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 Certain of the leases require the payment of additional rent based on a percentage increase of gross revenues. Leases are subject to increase based upon changes in the consumer price index or gross revenues, subject to certain limits, as defined in the individual lease agreements. In the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 such additional rent amounted to $3.1 million, $2.7 million and $2.1 million respectively. Total rent expense was $30.9 million, $31.6 million and $32.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. (11) LIQUIDITY We believe that our existing liquidity, ability to sell assisted living communities and land sites which do not meet our financial objectives or geographic clustering strategy, and ability to refinance certain assisted living communities will provide adequate resources to meet our current operating and investing needs and support our current growth plans for the next 12 months. We will be required from time to time to incur additional indebtedness or issue additional debt or equity securities to finance our growth strategy, including the acquisition of assisted living communities as well as other capital expenditures and to provide additional funds to meet increased working capital requirements. (12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES COMMITMENTS We have guaranteed the indebtedness at December 31, 2001, of certain unconsolidated affiliated partnerships for $3.5 million. We are the general partner of certain limited partnerships that serve as the sole members of the borrowing entities which carried loan balances of $15.3 million at December 31, 2001. Although a member of a borrowing entity is not personally liable for any contract or other obligation of that entity, we delivered limited guaranties in connection with the loans. Due to the limited guaranties, we assumed liability for repayment of the loan indebtedness as a result of fraudulent or intentional misconduct regarding the mortgaged properties, an unconsented transfer of a mortgaged property, a change of control by borrower, or violation of hazardous materials covenants. Also, we guaranteed the borrower's obligation to rebalance the loans upon breach of debt service coverage obligations. In our opinion, no claims may be currently asserted under any of the aforementioned guarantees based on the terms of the respective agreements other than those accrued. F-19 ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 CONTINGENCIES We have entered into four long-term leases of ALCs, the acquisition and construction of which have been or are being financed by tax exempt multi-unit housing revenue bonds. In order to meet the lease obligations and to allow the landlord to continue to qualify for favorable tax treatment of the interest payable on the bonds, the ALCs must comply with certain federal income tax requirements. These requirements principally pertain to the maximum income level of a specified portion of the residents. Should we elect to execute additional leases for ALCs to be constructed with bond financing, the same and possibly additional restrictions are anticipated to be imposed. Failure to satisfy these requirements will constitute an event of default under the leases, thereby permitting the landlord to accelerate their termination. Failure to obtain low-income residents in the sequence and time required could materially affect the lease-up schedule and, therefore, cash flow from such ALCs. During 2001, the Company was named as a defendant in two lawsuits brought by employees of an ALC owned by a majority-owned partnership. In addition, four other employees of the same ALC filed EEOC claims against the Company arising out of the same facts. Subsequent to year-end, the two lawsuits were submitted to mediation and settled. The four remaining claims will be submitted to binding arbitration. We are from time to time subject to lawsuits and other matters in the normal course of business. While we cannot predict the results with certainty, we do not believe that any liability from any such lawsuits or other matters will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. (13) DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair values of our financial instruments have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment 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. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and amounts due from affiliates, net and, accounts payable, accrued payroll costs and other accrued liabilities and accrued interest payable, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The notes payable bear interest at rates and other terms that approximate current market rates and terms. Therefore, we believe that the carrying value approximates fair value, except for convertible debt which is approximately $5.1 million and $13.5 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
