(a California limited partnership) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) March 31, 2001 (1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION We prepared the accompanying condensed financial statements of American Retirement Villas Properties III, L.P. following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America can be condensed or omitted. The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that we consider necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. These are condensed consolidated financial statements. To obtain a more detailed understanding of our results, one should also read the financial statements and notes in our Form 10-K for 2000, which is on file with the SEC. The results of operations can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year. USE OF ESTIMATES In the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we have made estimates and assumptions that affect the following: - reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; - disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and - reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. LOAN FEES We amortize loan fees using the effective interest method over the term of the respective note payable. RENTAL INCOME Rent agreements with tenants are on a month-to-month basis. We apply advance deposits to the first month's rent. Revenue is recognized in the month earned for rent and assisted living services. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT Net income (loss) per limited partner unit was based on the weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding of 18,666 on March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. RECLASSIFICATIONS We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the March 31, 2001 presentation. (2) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES 5 6 We have an agreement with ARV Assisted Living, Inc. ("ARV"), our Managing General Partner, providing for a property management fee of five percent of gross revenues amounting to $86,000 and $112,000, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Additionally, we pay ARV a partnership management fee of 10 percent of cash flow before distributions, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, which amounted to $38,000 and $44,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The decrease in assisted living revenue of $0.09 million from $0.27 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 to $0.18 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, or (32.5)%, is primarily attributable to: - the sale of the Bradford Square, L.P. in December 2000; - a decrease in the assisted living rate from $691 per month for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 compared to $606 per month for the three-months ended March 31, 2001; offset by - an increase in the same store average assisted living residents to 99 residents for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 as compared with 79 residents for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in community property operations and assisted living operating expenses of $0.30 million from $1.32 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 to $1.02 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, or (22.7)%, is primarily attributable to: - the sale of the Bradford Square, L.P. in December 2000; offset by - an increase in variable expenses and repair and maintenance expenses; - the staffing requirements related to increased assisted living services provided; and - the increased salaries of staff and fringe benefits. The decrease in property tax expense of $0.01 million from $0.06 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 to $0.05 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, or (17.2)%, is primarily due to the sale of the Bradford Square, L.P. in December 2000. The decrease in depreciation and amortization of $0.07 million from $0.27 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 to $0.20 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, or (23.5)%, is primarily due to: - the sale of the Bradford Square, L.P. in December 2000 and 7 8 - a decrease in amortization of loan fees related to the refinancing in January 2001 of one assisted living community. The decrease in interest expense of $0.08 million from $0.38 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 to $0.30 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, or (20.5)%, is primarily related to the sale of the Bradford Square, L.P. in December 2000. The decrease in minority interest in operations of $0.08 million from $0.08 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 to $0.00 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, or (100.0)%, is due to the sale of Bradford Square, L.P. in December 2000. The extraordinary loss of $0.06 million is the result of the write off of loan fees due to the refinancing of one assisted living community in January 2001. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We expect that cash generated from the operations of our properties will be adequate to pay operating expenses, make necessary capital improvements, make required principal reductions of debt and provide distributions to our partners. On a long-term basis, our liquidity is sustained primarily from cash flow provided by operating activities. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, net cash used in operating activities was $0.54 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $0.43 million for the corresponding period in 2000. The decrease was due to decrease in amounts payable to affiliates. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, our net cash used in investing activities was $0.08 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $0.03 million for the corresponding period in 2000. The increase was a result of the physical improvement at our two assisted living communities. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, our net cash used in financing activities was $5.0 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.2 million for the corresponding period in 2000. The financing activities consist of: - distribution of the sale proceed from the sale of Bradford Square L.P. to the partners, - principal repayment on notes payable, - initial deposit to reserve for replenishment and repair escrow that related to the refinancing of one assisted living community, and - loan fees and mortgage insurance related to the refinancing, offset by - borrowing from the refinancing. We estimate that we will incur approximately $163,000 for the capital expenditures during 2001 for physical improvements at our two assisted living communities. As of March 31, 2001 we have made approximately $80,000 in capital expenditures. The funds for these improvements should be available from operations. We are not aware of any trends, other than national economic conditions which have had, or which may be reasonably expected to have, a material favorable or unfavorable impact on the revenues or income from the operations or sale of properties. We believe that if the inflation rate increases they will be able to pass the subsequent increase in operating expenses onto the residents of the communities by way of higher rental and assisted living rates. The implementation of price increases is intended to lead to an increase in revenue however, those increases may result in an initial or permanent decline in occupancy and/or a delay in increasing occupancy. If this occurs, revenues may remain constant or decline. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in the interest rates on our fixed rate notes payable. With respect to our fixed rate notes payable, changes in the interest rates affect the fair market value of the notes payable, but not our earnings or 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 market value should not have a significant impact on the fixed rate debt until the earlier of maturity and any required refinancing of such debt. We do not currently have any variable interest rate debt and, therefore, are not subject to interest rate risk associate with 8 9 variable interest rate debt. Currently, we do not utilize interest rate swap or exchange agreements and, therefore, are not subject to interest rate risk associated with interest rate swaps. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 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 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS None. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION None.
