(1)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

          The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of American Retirement Villas Properties III, L.P. are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that the Partnership considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial position and operating results.  To obtain a more detailed understanding of our results, one should also read the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, 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 are not necessarily an indication of the results for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

          The condensed consolidated financial statements of American Retirement Villas Properties III, L.P. (the “Partnership” or “ARVPIII”) include the accounts of the Partnership, Retirement Inns III, LLC and ARV Chandler Villas, L.P..  Retirement Inns III, LLC and ARV Chandler Villas L.P. which are 100% owned by the Partnership.

Basis of Accounting

          The Partnership maintains its records on the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting and federal and state tax purposes.

Carrying Value of Real Estate

          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:

          The Partnership reviews the long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  In reviewing recoverability, the Partnership estimates the future cash flows expected to result from using the assets and eventually disposing of them.  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.

Use of Estimates

          In the preparation of the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the following:

5

          •     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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

          For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Capital Expenditures

          The Partnership capitalizes all assets obtained by purchase, trade or capital lease that have a useful life of more than one year and costs exceeding $500, or a group of similar assets purchased together where the total purchase price exceeds $1,000 and the cost of each asset exceeds $50. Improvements or additions to existing assets are also capital expenditures when they extend the useful life of the assets beyond their original life. Repair expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Impound Accounts

          The lender holds certain of the Partnership funds in impound accounts for payment of property taxes, insurance premiums and future property improvements (replacement reserves) on these properties.  The Partnership includes these impound accounts in other assets.

Collateral Deposit

          The Partnership was required by the lender to deposit $2.0 million dollars into a collateral deposit account held by the lender as part of the modification agreement to extend the maturity date, increase the debt and change the interest rate on one of the Partnership’s loans.

Loan Fees

          The Partnership amortizes loan fees using the effective interest method over the term of the respective notes payable, with the expense recorded in amortization expense.

General Insurance Liability

          The Partnership utilizes third-party insurance for losses and liabilities associated with general and professional liability claims subject to established deductible levels on a per occurrence basis.  Losses up to these deductible levels are accrued based upon the Partnership’s estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred based on the Partnership’s experience.

Revenue Recognition

          ARVPIII enters into residency agreements with residents on a month-to-month basis.  ARVPIII applies advance deposits to the first month’s rent.  Revenue is recognized in the month earned for rent and assisted living services.

Reclassification

          The Partnership has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the September 30, 2002 presentation.

Advertising Costs

          The Partnership expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred.

Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

          Net income per limited partner unit was based on the weighted-average number of limited partner units outstanding of 18,666 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001.

New Accounting Pronouncements

          The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations”, SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, SFAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, and SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long Lived Assets” on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS Nos. 141, 142, 143, and 144 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

          In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No 13, and Technical Corrections.”  SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement to classify gains and losses from the extinguishment of indebtedness as extraordinary, requires certain lease modifications to be treated the same as a sale-leaseback transaction, and makes other non-substantive technical corrections to existing pronouncements.  SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged.  The only impact we expect of adopting SFAS No. 145 is the reclassification of prior year extraordinary losses to interest expense.

          In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”.  SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity.  SFAS No. 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged.  As the provisions of SFAS No. 146 are required to be applied prospectively after the adoption date, the Partnership cannot determine the potential effects that adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2)  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

          The Partnership has an agreement with ARV Assisted Living, Inc. (“ARV”), the Partnership’s Managing General Partner, providing for a property management fee of five percent of gross revenues.  These payments amounted to $253,000 and $260,000 for the nine-month period and $85,000 and $87,000, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Additionally, the Partnership pays ARV a partnership management fee of 10 percent of cash flow before distributions, as provided for in the Partnership Agreement. These payments amounted to $44,000 and $80,000 for the nine-month period and $16,000 and $23,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

(3)  NOTES PAYABLE:

          At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, notes payable to banks included the following (in thousands):

7

          The annual principal payments of notes payable as of September 30, 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

          On January 9, 2001 ARVPIII refinanced one of the two ALCs with a thirty-five year HUD insured loan, bearing interest at 8.06%. The prior debt was extinguished, resulting in an extraordinary loss due to the remaining costs, which were written off at the time of the refinancing.  With respect to the loan on the other ALC, on February 1, 2002, the lender agreed to increase the principal sum of the loan to $11,980,000, the maturity date was extended to July 1, 2003 and the interest rate was changed to 8.50% per annum.  As a condition to the extension, the principal increase and the rate change, the lender required a $2.0 million cash collateral deposit, and the Partnership’s Managing General Partner to guaranty $1.0 million of the loan, which was secured in part by (i) a pledge of partnership interests in ARVPIII, and  (ii) a pledge of partnership interests in San Gabriel Retirement Villa, a California Limited Partnership (“SGRV”). On September 20, 2002, the lender agreed to further extend the maturity date of the loan to January 1, 2004.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          On September 23, 2002 ARV Assisted Living, Inc., the Partnership’s Managing General Partner (“ARV”) received an unsolicited letter from Prometheus Assisted Living, L.L.C. (“Prometheus”), an affiliate of Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, in which Prometheus stated that it has decided to propose a transaction to acquire for cash all of the outstanding shares of common stock of ARV not currently owned by Prometheus or its affiliates.  Prometheus stated that it expects the price to be in the range of $3.25 to $3.60 per share in cash, subject to completion of confirmatory due diligence and negotiation of the terms of a mutually acceptable merger agreement.  Prometheus further stated that following the completion of the transaction it intends to combine ARV with Atria, Inc. and Kapson Senior Quarters Corp. (also assisted living companies), subject to receipt of all necessary approvals and consents, but that its proposed acquisition of the remaining shares of ARV is not dependent on any subsequent transaction with Atria or Kapson.  Prometheus also stated that it is not interested in selling its shares in ARV.

          Prometheus currently owns approximately 43.5 percent of the outstanding shares of ARV, and owns warrants which, if exercised, would result in ownership of approximately 47.8 percent of the outstanding shares of ARV. Pursuant to the terms of certain agreements, Prometheus’ ability to purchase shares and engage in other transactions with ARV is subject to certain restrictions. The ARV’s board of directors has formed a special committee, consisting of two independent directors, to evaluate Prometheus’ proposal and to consider options that may be available to ARV.  Cohen & Steers Capital Advisors LLC has been engaged to provide financial advice in connection with the Prometheus’ proposal.

          On October 28, 2002 ARV announced that it has received two unsolicited letters from third parties indicating interest in a transaction involving the outstanding shares of common stock of ARV.  Both potential bidders are proposing alternative transactions to that proposed by Prometheus, on terms that the letters suggest could be more favorable to the ARV’s stockholders.  No firm offers have been received and no assurances can be given that such expressions of interest will lead to formal offers.  ARV has entered into standard confidentiality agreements to permit the potential bidders to conduct further due diligence as requested. There is no assurance that any definitive proposal will be forthcoming or that any definitive transaction will ultimately occur.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following table sets forth a comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The percentage increase (decrease) is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and will not compute using the rounded amounts below.

8

          The rental revenue remained relatively constant for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 and for nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.

          The decrease in assisted living revenue of $0.11 million from $0.55 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $0.44 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, or (20.0)%, is primarily attributable to:

          The decrease in interest and other revenue of $0.02 million from $0.21 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $0.19 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, or (8.9)%, is primarily attributable to:

          The decrease in community property operations and assisted living operating expenses of $0.07 million from $3.07 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $3.00 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, or (2.3)%, is primarily attributable to:

          The increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.02 million from $0.24 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $0.26 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, or 8.9%, is primarily attributable to:

          The increase in interest expense of $0.17 million from $0.92 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $1.09 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, or 18.5%, is primarily due to:

          The following table sets forth a comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2002 (the “2002 Quarter”) and the three months ended September 30, 2001 (the “2001 Quarter”). The percentage increase (decrease) is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and will not compute using the rounded amounts below.

          The rental revenue remains relatively constant for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 and for three-month period ended September 30, 2002.

          The decrease in assisted living revenue of $0.05 million from $0.19 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $0.14 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, or (27.4)%, is primarily attributable to:

          The decrease in community property operations and assisted living operating expenses of $0.11 million from $1.07 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $0.96 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, or (9.9)%, is primarily attributable to:

          The increase in general and administrative expense of  $0.01 million from $0.08 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $0.09 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, or 9.9%, is primarily attributable to:

          The increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.03 million from $0.18 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $0.21 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, or 18.3%, is primarily due to:

10

          The increase in interest expense of $0.07 million from $0.31 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $0.38 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, or 22.8%, is primarily due to:

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, and make required principal reductions of debt.  On a long-term basis, our liquidity is sustained primarily from cash flow provided by operating activities.

          For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.48 million compared to $0.71 million for the corresponding period in 2001.  The decrease was primarily due to:

          During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, our net cash used in investing activities was $0.21 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $0.31 million for the corresponding period in 2001.  In 2001, there was a large capital improvement made on one of our ALCs as part of the requirement of the refinancing.

          During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, our net cash used in financing activities was $1.72 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $5.92 million for the corresponding period in 2001.  The financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 consist of:

          We estimate that we will incur approximately $346,000 for capital expenditures during 2002 for physical improvements at our two assisted living communities. As of September 30, 2002 we have made approximately $214,000 in capital expenditures.  The funds for these improvements should be available from operations and existing reserve funds.

          In order to protect ourself against lawsuits and claims relating to general and professional liability, we currently maintain third party insurance policies in amounts and covering risks that are consistent with industry practice. Under the terms of such insurance policies, our coverage is provided subject to varying deductible levels and liability amounts. As the results of poor industry loss experience, a number of insurance carriers have stopped providing insurance coverage to the assisted living industry, and those remaining have drastically increased premiums and deductible amounts. Consistent with this trend, our general liability coverage is subject to significant deductible levels on a per occurrence basis for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and the three months ended March 31, 2002. For the six months ended September 30, 2002, our general liability deductible per occurrence has again been materially increased.  Losses up to these deductible levels are accrued based upon our estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred based on our experience. As the result of these continuing increases in both deductible amounts and premiums, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all desired insurance coverage in the future on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

          To date, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Partnership.  Inflation could, however, affect our future revenues and operating income due to our dependence on the senior resident population, most of who rely on relatively fixed incomes to pay for our services.  The monthly charges for the resident’s unit and assisted living services are influenced by the location of the community and local competition.  Our ability to increase revenues in proportion to increased operating expenses may be limited.  We typically do not

11

rely to a significant extent on governmental reimbursement programs.  In pricing our services, we attempt to anticipate inflation levels, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to respond to inflationary pressures in the future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          A number of matters and subject areas discussed in this report, that are not historical or contain current facts, deal with potential future circumstances, operations, and prospects.  The discussion of these matters and subject areas is qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, and also may materially differ from our actual future experience as a result of such factors as: the effects of competition and economic conditions on the occupancy levels in our communities; our ability under current market conditions to maintain and increase our resident charge without adversely affecting the occupancy level; our ability to control community operation expenses without adversely affecting the occupancy level and the level of resident charges; the ability of our operations to generate cash flow sufficient to service our debt, capital expenditures and other fixed payment requirements; and our ability to find sources of financing and capital on satisfactory terms to meet our cash requirements to the extent that they are not met by operations.  We have attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors that we currently believe may cause actual future results to differ from our current expectations regarding the matters or subject areas discussed in this report.  These and other risks and uncertainties are detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANATITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

          The Partnership is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in the interest rates on the partnership’s fixed rate notes payable. With respect to the Partnership’s fixed rate notes payable, changes in the interest rates affect the fair value of the notes payable, but not the Partnership’s earnings or cash flows.  The Partnership does 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 the earlier of maturity and any required refinancing of such debt. The Partnership does not currently have any variable interest rate debt and, therefore, is not subject to interest rate risk associated with variable interest rate debt. Currently, the Partnership does not utilize interest rate swap or exchange agreements and, therefore, is not subjected to interest rate risk associated with interest rate swaps.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

          American Retirement Villas Properties III L.P.’s Managing General Partner, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of ARV Assisted Living, Inc., have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion.  There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their evaluation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          The Partnership is from time to time subject to ordinary routine legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. While the Partnership cannot predict the results with certainty, the Partnership does not believe that any liability from any such lawsuits or other matters will have a material effect on the partnership’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PRECEEDS
          None.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
          None.

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