Background.

This Schedule 13G/A is filed by Holiday Retirement Corp., Daniel R. Baty and William E. Colson (the "Reporting Persons") and amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed by the Reporting Persons on January 23, 2001 (the "Original 13G"), and the amended Schedule 13G filed by the reporting persons on February 11, 2002 (the "13G/A No. 1")

During 2000, (i) LB/HRC Bond Investors LLC, a joint venture between HRC Bond Investors LLC (an Oregon limited liability company) ("HRC Bond Investors LLC") and LB Bond Investors LLC, and (ii) LB/HRC Bond Investors II LLC, a joint venture between HRC Bond Investors LLC and LB Bond Investors II LLC, purchased 5 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2002 of the issuer, American Retirement Corporation (the "ACR Bonds").

As reported in the Original 13G, the Reporting Persons purchased shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that would, if the persons listed on Exhibit A were deemed to be a group, result in the deemed beneficial ownership by such group of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Issuer.

In 2001, subsequent to filing the Original 13G, the Reporting Persons purchased additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer resulting in the ownership structure as set forth on the cover pages to this Schedule 13G/A.

On September 26, 2002, following the tender offer by the Filing Persons of all of their 5 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2002 in an exchange offer completed by the Issuer on such date, such securities were exchanged for a combination of the Issuer's 5 3/4% Series A Senior Subordinate Notes Due 2002, which have since been repaid in full, and the Issuer's 10% Series B Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2008 (the "Series B Notes"). The Series B Notes are convertible into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.25 per share.

The Reporting Persons disclaim the existence of a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5 with the persons listed on Exhibit A.

In February 2003, the joint venture dissolved between HRC Bond Investors LLC, LB Bond Investors LLC and LB Bond Investors II LLC.

The information in this filing with respect to the first eight entities listed on Exhibit A (the "Lehman Entities") is, to the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, accurate as of December 31, 2002. On January 22, 2001, the Lehman Entities filed a Schedule 13G, as amended, with respect to their ownership of securities of the Issuer and reference is made to the more detailed information contained therein, and in any amendments to such Schedules that may be filed in the future.
