VESTIN FUND II, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2004

(Unaudited)

NOTE A — ORGANIZATION

We were organized in December 2000 as a Nevada limited liability company for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans. We invest in loans secured by real estate through deeds of trust and mortgages. We commenced our business operations in June 2001. During June 2004 we discontinued the offering of our Units. Our manager is Vestin Mortgage, Inc., a licensed mortgage company in the State of Nevada (“Vestin Mortgage,” or “Manager”). Vestin Mortgage is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vestin Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vestin Group”), whose common stock is publicly held and traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the ticker symbol “VSTN.” Through its subsidiaries, Vestin Group is engaged in asset management, real estate lending and other financial services. In this quarterly report, from time to time, we will refer to our company, Vestin Fund II, LLC, as the “Company.”

We invest in mortgage loans throughout the areas in which Vestin Mortgage and its correspondents have experience, primarily Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, New York, North Carolina and Texas. The loans we invest in are selected for us by Vestin Mortgage from among loans originated by Vestin Mortgage or non-affiliated mortgage brokers. When Vestin Mortgage or a non-affiliated mortgage broker originates a loan for us, that entity identifies the borrower, processes the loan application, makes or invests in the loan, and brokers or sells the loan to us. We believe that our loans are attractive to borrowers because of the expediency of Vestin Mortgage’s loan approval process, which takes about ten to twenty days.

Vestin Mortgage, Inc. is also the manager of Vestin Fund I, LLC, (“Fund I”), Vestin Fund III, LLC (“Fund III”) and inVestin Nevada, Inc., entities in the similar business as the Company.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. Therefore, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.

The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

Table of Contents

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. INVESTMENTS IN MORTGAGE LOANS

Investments in mortgage loans are secured by trust deeds and mortgages. Generally, all of our mortgage loans require interest only payments with a balloon payment of the principal at maturity. We have both the intent and ability to hold mortgage loans until maturity and therefore, mortgage loans are classified and accounted for as held for investment and are carried at amortized cost. Loans sold to or purchased from affiliates are accounted for at the principal balance and no gain or loss is recognized by us or any affiliate. Loan to value ratios are based on appraisals obtained at the time of loan origination and may not reflect subsequent changes in value estimates. Such appraisals are generally dated within 12 months of the date of loan origination and may be commissioned by the borrower. The appraisals may be for the current estimate of the “as-if developed” value of the property, which approximates the post-construction value of the collateralized property assuming that such property is developed. As-if developed values on raw land loans or acquisition and development loans often dramatically exceed the immediate sales value and may include anticipated zoning changes and timely successful development by the purchaser. As most of the appraisals will be prepared on an as-if developed basis, if a loan goes into default prior to any development of a project, the market value of the property may be substantially less than the appraised value. As a result, there may be less security than anticipated at the time the loan was originally made. If there is less security and a default occurs, we may not recover the full amount of the loan.

3. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

We maintain an allowance for loan losses on our investments in mortgage loans for estimated credit impairment in our investment in mortgage loans portfolio. The Manager’s estimate of losses is based on a number of factors including the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan. Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge to earnings and are based on an assessment of certain factors which may indicate estimated losses on the loans. Actual losses on loans are recorded as a charge-off or a reduction to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are added back to the allowance or included in income when the asset is disposed of.

4. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

Real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and is carried at the lower of cost or the property’s estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. We seek to sell properties acquired through foreclosure as quickly as circumstances permit. The carrying values of real estate held for sale are assessed on a regular basis from updated appraisals, comparable sales values or purchase offers.

5. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE — SELLER FINANCED

Seller financed real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and resold to independent third parties where we have provided the financing and the borrower has not met certain criteria in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 66. FAS 66 requires the borrower to have a certain percentage equity ownership (typically 20%) to allow us to record the sale of a property. In addition, the borrower must maintain a minimum commitment in the property on a continuing basis. Therefore, until the borrower meets these requirements, the real estate is retained as real estate held for sale.

6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

8


Table of Contents

Investments in marketable securities consist of bonds secured by real estate. The securities are stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

The appropriate classification of investments in marketable securities is determined at the time of purchase and such determination is reevaluated at each balance sheet date. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities, and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. Debt securities for which the Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income.

7. SECURED BORROWINGS

Loans that have been participated to third party investors through intercreditor agreements (“Agreements”) are accounted for as secured borrowings in accordance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SFAS No. 140”). The Agreements provide us additional funding sources for mortgage loans whereby a third party investor (the “Investor”) may participate in certain mortgage loans with us and/or Fund I and/or Fund III (collectively, the “Lead Lenders”). In the event of borrower non-performance, the intercreditor agreements provide that the Lead Lenders must repay the Investor’s loan amount either by (i) continuing to remit to the Investor the interest due on the participated loan amount; (ii) substituting an alternative loan acceptable to the Investor; or (iii) repurchasing the participation from the Investor for the outstanding balance plus accrued interest.

Additionally, an Investor may participate in certain loans with the Lead Lenders through participation agreements. In the event of borrower non-performance, the participation agreement allows the Investor to be repaid up to the amount of the Investor’s investment prior to the Lead Lender being repaid. Mortgage loan financing under the participation agreements are also accounted for as a secured borrowing in accordance with SFAS No. 140.

Table of Contents

(1) The following table reconciles the balance of the loan portfolio to the amount shown on the accompanying Balance Sheet. The contra accounts represent the amount of real estate held for sale sold to third parties where we provided financing. GAAP requires the borrower to have a certain percentage equity ownership (typically 20%) to allow us to record the sale of a property. In addition, the borrower must maintain a minimum commitment in the property on a continuing basis. Therefore, until the borrower meets this requirement, the investment in the new loan is reduced by the amount originally invested in the real estate held for sale.

(2) Loan to value ratios are based on appraisals obtained at the time of loan origination and may not reflect subsequent changes in value estimates. Such appraisals, which may be commissioned by the borrower, are generally dated no greater than 12 months prior to the date of loan origination. The appraisals may be for the current estimate of the “as-if developed” value of the property, which approximates the post-construction value of the collateralized property assuming that such property is developed. As-if developed values on raw land loans or acquisition and development loans often dramatically exceed the immediate sales value and may include anticipated zoning changes, selection by a purchaser against multiple alternatives, and successful development by the purchaser; upon which development is dependent on availability of financing. As most of the appraisals will be prepared on an as-if developed basis, if a loan goes into default prior to any development of a project, the market value of the property may be substantially less than the appraised value. As a result, there may be less security than anticipated at the time the loan was originally made. If there is less security and a default occurs, we may not recover the full amount of the loan.

We have six mortgage loan products consisting of bridge, commercial, construction, acquisition and development, land, and residential loans. The effective interest rates on all product categories range from 5% to 14%. Revenue by product will fluctuate based upon relative balances during the period.

At September 30, 2004, five of our loans totaling $46.0 million were non-performing (more than 90 days past due on interest payments) or past due on principal. These loans have been placed on non-accrual of interest status. Our Manager has commenced foreclosure proceedings on these loans and has evaluated all of these loans and concluded that the underlying collateral is sufficient to protect the Company against a loss of principal or interest. Accordingly, no specific allowance for loan losses was deemed necessary for these loans.

Our Manager periodically reviews and makes a determination as to whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover any potential losses. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses or included as income when the asset is disposed of. As of September 30, 2004, we have provided a general allowance for loan losses of approximately $2.7 million. Our Manager evaluated the loans and concluded that the underlying collateral was sufficient to protect us against further losses of principal or interest. Our Manager will continue to evaluate these loans in order to determine if any other allowance for loan losses should be recorded.

Because of the fact that any decision regarding the allowance for loan losses reflects a judgment about the probability of future events, there is an inherent risk that such judgments will prove incorrect. In such event, actual losses may exceed (or be less than) the amount of any reserve. To the extent that we experience losses greater than the amount of our reserves, we may incur a charge to our earnings that will adversely affect our operating results and the amount of any distributions payable to our Members.

The following is a rollforward of the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2004:
