Background

This statement on Schedule 13G/A amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed by
the reporting persons on January 22, 2001 (the "Original 13G").

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
convertible subordinated debentures of the issuer, American Retirement
Corporation (the "ACR Bonds").

The Filing Persons disclaim the existence of a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5 with
HRC Bond Investors LLC, and any or all of its members:  Daniel R. Baty,  William
E. Colson,  Norman L.  Brenden,  Patrick F.  Kennedy,  Thilo D. Best and Holiday
Retirement Corp., an Oregon corporation  (collectively,  with HRC Bond Investors
LLC, the "HRC Investors"). -------------

On January 11, 2001 Holiday Retirement Corp. purchased shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer that would, if the HRC Investors and the Filing Persons 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.

On January 30, 2001, LB/HRC Bond Investors II LLC purchased an additional
$2,660,000 of 5 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2002 with a
conversion price of $24.00 per share, convertible into 110,833 shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock.

During 2001, Lehman Brothers Inc. sold all the 5 3/4% convertible subordinated
debentures due 2002 of which it reported beneficial ownership on the Original
13G. As a result, the Filing Persons have determined that Lehman Brothers Inc.,
a Filing Person with respect to the Original 13G is no longer a beneficial owner
of securities of the Issuer and is not, and would not be deemed to be, a member
of the group identified in the Original 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-5.

The information in this filing with respect to the HRC Investors is, to the best
of the Filing Persons' knowledge, accurate. On January 23, 2001, the HRC
Investors filed a Schedule 13G 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.

members of the HRC Investors are beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer as follows: Daniel R. Baty, 2000 shares; William E. Colson, 137,500

ownership of securities of the Issuer by the HRC Investors can be found in a

(such status is disclaimed by the Filing Persons), upon conversion of all of the
ACR Bonds held by LB/HRC Bond Investors LLC and LB/HRC Bond Investors II LLC,
the Entities would collectively own 1,210,767 shares of Common Stock,
constituting 6.7% of the Common Stock.
