                           ILM II SENIOR LIVING, INC.
                          ANNOUNCES ARBITRATION AWARD

================================================================================

          FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

          TYSONS CORNER, VA -- December 23, 2002--ILM II Senior Living, Inc.
announced today that in connection with a previously announced arbitration claim
ILM II was pursuing against a certain respondent relating to the termination by
Capital Senior Living Corporation in February 2001 of its then-pending merger
transaction with ILM II.

          On November 23, 2002, the arbitration panel in such proceeding awarded
damages to ILM II in the amount of $8,960,990. ILM II has been notified by the
arbitral-respondent's representatives that, although there can be no assurance,
such amount is expected to be paid to ILM II by the respondent not later than
December 26, 2002 (less certain administrative fees and expenses of the American
Arbitration Association, and certain arbitration panel and costs and expenses)
in full satisfaction of all of ILM II's claims against the respondent (the "Net
Arbitration Award").

          Immediately following receipt of the Net Arbitration Award, ILM II
intends to make a single, final liquidating distribution to its shareholders of
ILM II's residual net assets (including the Net Arbitration Award) and effect
the dissolution and winding up of ILM II. The liquidating distribution will be
made in the form of a dividend payable ratably to all holders of ILM II's common
stock as of the record date established for such distribution.

          At December 13, 2002, ILM II's assets (not including the anticipated
Net Arbitration Award) aggregated approximately $4.0 million and its liabilities
aggregated approximately $0.5 million. It is anticipated that ILM II will incur
approximately $1.1 million of additional expenses pursuant to its liquidation
and winding up activities.

          ILM II has instructed its transfer agent to close the books and
records for, and not to process any further transfers of, ILM II's common stock
pending the announcement.
