             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (CONTINUED)


1.  GENERAL

    The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
    prepared by LTC Properties, Inc. (the "Company") without audit and in the
    opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
    presentation of the results of operations for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1997 and 1996 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
    Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying condensed consolidated
    financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned
    subsidiaries and controlled partnerships. All significant intercompany
    accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain
    information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
    statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
    regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures in the
    accompanying financial statements are adequate to make the information
    presented not misleading. The results of operations for the nine months
    ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
    results for a full year.

    The Company has securitized portions of its mortgage loan portfolio and
    retained a portion of the resulting REMIC Certificates to hold as long-term
    investments. Historically, the Company has accounted for its REMIC
    Certificate investments at amortized cost and provided fair value
    disclosures because of the highly specialized nature of the collateral
    underlying the REMIC Certificates, the lack of marketability of the
    Certificates and the Company's intent and investment posture to hold its
    real estate investments for long-term purposes. Moreover, the Company
    believes that the fair value accounting provisions of Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
    Equity Securities ("SFAS 115"), which require the recognition of unrealized
    gains or losses resulting from temporary changes in the fair value of
    originated mortgage-backed securities (the REMIC Certificates) that are
    retained by the Company, would reflect equity or earnings in the Company's
    financial statements that would not be ultimately realized and portray a
    level of liquidity with respect to its REMIC Certificates that does not
    exist. Furthermore, the Company believed that the accounting literature
    supported the accounting for the REMIC Certificates at amortized cost.
    However, after reconsideration following discussions with the Staff of the
    Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company decided to adopt the fair
    value accounting provisions of SFAS 115 as opposed to the amortized cost
    accounting the Company believed applicable under SFAS 115. The fair value
    accounting provisions require the recognition in earnings of temporary
    changes in the fair values of the Company's REMIC Certificates investments,
    irrespective of the Company's reservations about the realizability of such
    earnings. Accordingly, previously filed financial statements have been
    restated to reflect the adjustment to fair value of the Company's REMIC
    Certificate investments. As a result, cumulative net income increased by
    $1,205,00 as of December 31, 1993 and net income increased (decreased) by
    $667,000, ($1,656,000) and $6,173,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994,
    1995 and 1996, respectively. The cumulative impact on stockholders' equity
    as of December 31, 1996 was an increase of $6,389,000. For the three and
    nine months ended September 30, 1996, net income increased by $18,000 and
    $5,683,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net income
    decreased by $200,000 and stockholders' equity decreased by $2,649,000.

                                  (CONTINUED)



    No provision has been made for federal income taxes. The Company qualifies
    as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of
    the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, the Company is not
    taxed on its income which is distributed to its stockholders.

2.  REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

    In 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase in the
    Company's investment in assisted living facilities ("ALFs") from 20% to 30%
    of its adjusted gross real estate investment portfolio (adjusted to include
    the mortgage loans to third parties underlying the $87,744,000 investment in
    REMIC Certificates). In addition, the Board of Directors also authorized an
    increase in the Company's investment in properties operated by Assisted
    Living Concepts, Inc. ("ALC") to 20% of its adjusted gross real estate
    investment portfolio (which was approximately $783,467,000 as of September
    30, 1997).

    As of September 30, 1997, the Company had investments in ALFs and in
    properties operated by ALC of approximately $175,414,000 and $110,137,000,
    respectively or 22.4% and 14.1%, respectively, of the Company's total
    adjusted gross real estate investment portfolio.

    MORTGAGE LOANS

    During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company invested
    $74,832,000 in mortgage loans. Approximately $55,740,000 of these loans are
    secured by, among other things, 22 skilled nursing facilities located in 10
    states with a total of 2,274 beds. These mortgage loans contain certain
    guarantees and individually range from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000 in
    principal amount, have stated maturities of 10 to 20 years, initial interest
    rates ranging from 9.75% to 11.57% and generally have 25 year amortization
    schedules. The remaining $19,092,000 of mortgage loans are secured by 14
    ALFs located in four states with a total of 564 units. Of the total loans
    secured by ALFs, approximately $14,510,000 in loans bearing interest at
    10.14% and secured by mortgages on seven ALFs were made to ALC, a developer-
    owner and operator of ALFs. ALC repaid these loans subsequent to September
    30, 1997. Also included in the mortgage loans secured by ALFs was $1,292,000
    of additional financing on ALFs under construction.

    Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company completed investments in
    mortgage loans of $10,752,000 which includes a net reduction of $1,073,000
    in construction loans.

    OWNED PROPERTIES

    During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company acquired six
    skilled nursing facilities with a total of 463 beds and 27 ALFs with a total
    of 1,085 units for approximately $71,289,000. Included in this amount were
    three skilled nursing facilities purchased for $3,100,000 on which the
    Company had a first mortgage loan of $2,798,000 and three ALFs purchased for
    $7,059,000 which were previously financed with construction loans of
    $6,483,000. The Company also added 36 beds to one of its owned skilled
    nursing facilities at a total cost of approximately $1,693,000 and nine
    units to one of its ALFs for $450,000. In addition, during the second
    quarter of 1997, the Company converted $26,360,000 of mortgage loans secured
    by ALFs into owned properties through sale lease-back transactions with ALC
    with total initial annual rent

    of approximately $2,604,000. Eleven of the ALFs purchased for a total of
    $28,055,000 have been leased to ALC for total initial annual rent of
    approximately $2,801,000 pursuant to long-term non-cancelable agreements.

    Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company completed investments in owned
    properties of $11,237,000.

    REMIC CERTIFICATES
    As of September 30, 1997, the outstanding certificate principal balance and
    the weighted average pass-through rate for the senior REMIC Certificates
    (all held by outside third parties) was $192,632,000 and 7.87%. As of
    September 30, 1997, the unamortized cost and the estimated fair value of the
    subordinated REMIC Certificates held by the Company was $81,298,000 and
    $87,744,000, respectively.

    COMMITMENTS
    As of November 6, 1997, the Company had outstanding commitments aggregating
    approximately $199,674,000. Included in these amounts were commitments to
    ALC for approximately $63,070,000, Home and Community Care, Inc. ("HCI") for
    $49,214,000 and Carriage House Assisted Living, Inc. ("Carriage") for
    $6,380,000. Commitments of $49,214,000 to HCI and $50,000,000 to ALC are due
    to expire in 1999 and 2000, respectively.

3.  OTHER ASSETS

    HCI was formed to own, operate and develop assisted living residences and to
    provide home health and hospice care services. As of September 30, 1997, the
    Company owned 2,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock of HCI which it
    acquired for $5,000,000 in the form of a demand note. As of September 30,
    1997, $2,068,000 of the demand note had been funded. The remaining
    $2,932,000 due under the demand note was funded subsequent to September 30,
    1997.

    Subsequent to September 30, 1997, HCI declared and paid a distribution
    representing a return of investment equal to $2.50 per share of outstanding
    common stock which resulted in the Company receiving back its initial
    investment of $5,000,000. Following the payment of the distribution, ALC
    agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of HCI for $1.00 per
    share which will result in the Company receiving $2,000,000. As part of the
    acquisition, the Company may receive future payments equal to approximately
    $3,000 per unit for up to 708 units that were under development by HCI as of
    the date of the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, certain
    officers of the Company ended their employment with the Company to become
    employees of ALC and the Company accelerated the vesting of certain benefits
    for these departing employees.

    In September 1996, the Company received a 9.9% interest (990 shares) in
    Carriage, a privately-held corporation that develops, sells, leases and
    operates ALFs. LTC received its interest in Carriage in return for its
    commitment to provide construction financing for the first five facilities
    developed by Carriage in Nebraska, and LTC's further commitment to provide
    permanent financing on the first ten facilities developed by Carriage
    through the completion of sale/leaseback transactions. Subsequent to
    September 30, 1997, ALC agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common
    stock of Carriage at an exchange rate of 31.16 shares of ALC for each share

    of Carriage. In connection with this acquisition, the Company received
    30,850 shares of unregistered shares of ALC restricted common stock. The
    Company anticipates these shares will be registered and freely tradable
    during the first quarter of 1998.

4.  DEBT OBLIGATIONS

    BANK BORROWINGS
    In August 1997, the Company obtained a 90 day $10,000,000 bank loan at LIBOR
    plus 3%. In September 1997, the Company obtained an additional 45 day
    $10,000,000 bank loan at LIBOR plus 3%. As of September 30, 1997, the
    Company also had $81,142,000 outstanding under its repurchase agreement
    secured by mortgages loans and $29,545,000 outstanding under its unsecured
    revolving credit agreement.

    On October 3, 1997, all amounts outstanding under the 90 day bank loan, the
    45 day bank loan, the repurchase agreement and the unsecured revolving
    credit agreement were refinanced with a $170,000,000 Senior Unsecured
    Revolving Line of Credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility") which expires on
    October 3, 2000. The Revolving Credit Facility pricing varies between LIBOR
    plus 1.25% and LIBOR plus 1.5% depending on the Company's leverage ratio.
    Currently the pricing is LIBOR plus 1.375%. The Revolving Credit Facility
    contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum leverage
    ratios, minimum debt service coverage ratios, cash flow coverage ratios and
    minimum consolidated tangible net worth.

    CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
    During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, holders of $43,555,000 in
    principal amount of convertible subordinated debentures elected to convert
    the debentures into 2,699,519 shares of common stock at prices ranging from
    $10.00 to $17.25 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 1997, an additional
    $320,000 in principal amount of convertible subordinated debentures
    converted into 21,028 shares of the Company's common stock at prices ranging
    from $15.00 to $16.50 per share.

5.  STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

    ISSUANCE OF STOCK
    During the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed two public
    offerings. In January 1997, the Company completed the sale of 1,000,000
    shares of common stock in a public offering at $17.75 per share which
    resulted in net proceeds of $17,349,000. In March 1997, the Company sold
    3,080,000 shares of 9.5% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A
    Preferred Stock") which resulted in net proceeds of $73,800,000. Dividends
    on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of original
    issue and are payable monthly, commencing April 15, 1997, to stockholders of
    record on the first day of each month at the rate of 9.5% per annum of the
    $25 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to a fixed amount of $2.375
    per share). The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to April 1,
    2001, except in certain circumstances relating to preservation of the
    Company's qualification as a REIT.

    On April 24, 1997, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission covering up to $150,000,000 of debt and
    equity securities to be sold from time to time in the future.  The
    registration statement was declared effective on May 6, 1997.

                                  (CONTINUED)
  
    
    During the third quarter of 1997, the Company completed the sale of
    1,000,000 shares of common stock in a public offering which generated net
    proceeds of $18,095,000.

    The net proceeds from these offerings were used to repay short-term
    borrowings outstanding under the Company's lines of credit.

    NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM STOCKHOLDERS
    In March 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a loan program designed to
    encourage executives, key employees, consultants and directors to acquire
    common stock through the exercise of options. Under the program, the Company
    will make full recourse, secured loans to participants equal to the exercise
    price of vested options plus up to 50% of the taxable income resulting from
    the exercise of options. Such loans will bear interest at the then current
    Applicable Federal Rate and are payable in installments over nine years. For
    the first five years the principal due each quarter will be equal to 50% of
    the difference between the cash dividends received on the shares purchased
    and the quarterly interest due. In addition, 25% of cash bonuses received by
    the borrower must be used to reduce the principal balance. The loans will
    convert to fully amortizing loans with 16 quarterly payments beginning in
    year six. Unless the Board of Directors approves otherwise, loans must be
    repaid within 90 days after termination of employment for any reason, other
    than in connection with a change in control of the Company. In 1997, the
    Company's management, consultants and directors purchased 585,166 of the
    Company's common stock under the loan program. At September 30, 1997, the
    remaining loan amounts available and the loans outstanding of $617,000 and
    $7,648,000, respectively, bear interest at rates ranging from 6.27% to 6.63%
    per annum and are secured by a pledge of the shares of common stock acquired
    through the exercise of options. The market value of the common stock
    securing these loans was $11,118,000 at September 30, 1997.

6.  DISTRIBUTIONS

    During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company declared and
    paid cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock totaling $1,829,000.
    During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, for its Series A Preferred
    Stock, the Company declared and paid cash dividends totaling $4,084,000 and
    $3,474,000, respectively. Dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock
    represent a partial period dividend of $.1385 per share for the period from
    March 10, 1997 through March 31, 1997 and the regular monthly dividend of
    $.1979 per share for subsequent periods.

    During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company declared and
    paid cash dividends on its common stock totaling $8,897,000. During the nine
    months ended September 30, 1997, for its common stock, the Company declared
    and paid cash dividends totaling $25,132,000 and $31,811,000, respectively.
    Dividends declared on the Company's common stock represent the regular
    quarterly dividend of $.34 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1997
    and $.365 per share for the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 1997.

7.  OTHER INCOME, NET

    In June 1997, the Company sold $11,811,000 face amount of its REMIC
    Certificates recognizing a gain of approximately $1,231,000.  Also in June
    1997, the Company recognized $1,120,000 of expense resulting from the
    accelerated vesting of 64,000 shares of restricted common stock held by
    executives, certain management and non-employee directors of the Company.

8.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
    No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS No. 128") which is required to be adopted
    on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change
    the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all
    prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings
    per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. Adoption
    of SFAS No. 128 would have resulted in no change in primary earnings per
    share for the three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $0.01
    for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and an increase of $0.01 and
    $0.02 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
    The impact of Statement No. 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings
    per share for these periods is not expected to be material.

9.  INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

    In July 1996, the Company provided a $50,180,000 commitment to purchase ALFs
    through sale leaseback transactions with ALC. In connection with the
    commitment, in November 1996, the Company entered into a one year forward
    ten year interest rate swap agreement (the "Agreement"). Under the
    Agreement, the Company was credited interest at three month LIBOR and
    incurred interest at a fixed rate of 6.835% on a $40,000,000 notional amount
    beginning on November 7, 1997. On March 10, 1997, the Agreement was
    terminated concurrently with the completion of the equity offerings
    discussed in Note 5 and the Company recognized interest income of
    approximately $440,000.

    In September 1995, the Company entered into a seven year forward interest
    rate swap agreement which is scheduled to be settled on November 17, 1997.
    Under this agreement, the Company was credited interest at the six month
    LIBOR and incurred interest at a fixed rate of 6.655% on a notional amount
    of $60,000,000. In August 1997, the Company entered into a Treasury lock
    agreement which is scheduled to be settled by December 15, 1997. Under this
    agreement, the Company locked into a rate of 6.39% on the seven year
    Treasury Note Rate on a notional amount of $65,000,000. Upon settlement of
    the Treasury lock agreement the Company will either receive or make a
    payment based on the change in the seven year Treasury Note Rate. These
    agreements which are accounted for as hedges were made in connection with an
    anticipated securitization to be completed in 1998 and will be extended
    until the consummation of the transaction therefore, any associated gains or
    losses will be included as a component of the fair value of the assets
    received in the transaction. At September 30, 1997, the Company had a total
    unrealized loss of $1,761,000 on these agreements.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OPERATING RESULTS

NINE MONTHS 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS 1996

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased approximately
35% to $53,411,000 from $39,575,000 for the same period in 1996.  The increase
in revenues resulted from increased rental income of $7,313,000, increased
interest income on mortgage loans of $5,761,000 and interest income of $440,000
from the termination of an interest rate swap agreement.  Rental income    
increased $4,768,000 as a result of property acquisitions completed since
September 30, 1996 and $2,547,000 due to the inclusion of rental revenue for a
full nine months in 1997 for properties acquired during 1996.  "Same-store"
rents increased $ 306,000 due to the receipt of contingent rents and rental
increases as provided for in the lease agreements.  Partially offsetting the
increase in rental income was a decrease of $308,000 resulting from the sale of
properties in 1996.  The increase in mortgage interest income resulted from the
higher mortgage investment base in 1997 compared to 1996.  The overall increase
in mortgage interest income was mitigated by a decrease of approximately
$2,200,000 related to the securitization of mortgages in a REMIC transaction in
March 1996.  Interest income from REMIC Certificates increased as a result of
the third securitization transaction which closed in March 1996.

Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were 52% of net
revenues compared to 58% for the same period in 1996.  The decrease is due in
large part to a reduction in interest expense as a percent of net revenues.  The
reduction in interest expense is primarily the result of conversions of
subordinated debentures and the utilization of equity to fund financing
activities in 1997.  Depreciation and amortization expense as a percent of
rental income remained flat at 30%.

Other income decreased due to an increase in the estimated fair value of REMIC
Certificates which resulted in an unrealized gain of $5,683,000 during the prior
period as compared to the current period's unrealized gain of $57,000.  Also
contributing to the decrease in the current period was $1,120,000 of expense the
Company recognized in connection with the accelerated vesting of 64,000 shares
of restricted common stock held by executives, certain management and non-
employee directors of the Company.  This decrease was offset by gain of
$1,231,000 recognized on the sale of one of the Company's rated REMIC
certificates in June 1997.  The sale of the certificate also reduced the amount
of the unrealized gain on the REMIC for the nine months ended September 30,
1997.  On an overall basis, the REMIC Certificates' estimated fair value was
approximately $545,000 higher at September 30, 1997 than at September 30, 1996.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company declared dividends
of $4,084,000 on its Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock issued in March 1997.

As a result of the changes in revenues and expenses discussed above, net income
available to common shareholders decreased $623,000 to $21,750,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $22,373,000 for the same period in
1996.

                                  (CONTINUED)


THIRD QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 1996

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased $4,517,000 to
$18,809,000 from $14,292,000 for the same period in 1996.  The increase in
revenues resulted from increased rental income of $2,499,000 and interest income
on mortgage loans of $2,545,000.  Rental income increased $2,442,000 as a result
of property acquisitions completed since September 30, 1996.  "Same-store" rents
increased $181,000 due to the receipt of contingent rents and rental increases
as provided for in the lease agreements.  Partially offsetting the increases in
rental income was a decrease of $124,000 resulting from the sale of properties.
The increase in mortgage interest income resulted from the higher mortgage
investment base in 1997 compared to 1996.  Interest income from REMIC
Certificates decreased as a result of the sale of $11,811,000 face amount of
REMIC Certificates in June 1997.

Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were 52% of net
revenues compared to 61% for the same period in 1996.  The decrease is due in
large part to a reduction in interest expense as a percent of net revenues.  The
reduction in interest expense is primarily the result of conversions of
subordinated debentures and the utilization of equity to fund financing
activities in 1997.  Depreciation and amortization expense as a percent of
rental income remained relatively flat at 29% for 1997 compared to 30% for 1996.

Other income increased primarily as a result of the effect of a higher
unrealized gain on changes in the fair value of the REMIC Certificates for the
current period as compared to that of the prior period.  On an overall basis,
the REMIC Certificates' estimated fair value was approximately $545,000 higher
at September 30, 1997 than at September 30, 1996.

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company declared dividends
of $1,829,000 on its Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock issued in March 1997.

As a result of the changes in revenues and expenses discussed above, net income
available to common shareholders increased $1,909,000 to $7,545,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from $5,636,000 for the same period in
1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 1997, the Company's real estate investment portfolio
consisted of approximately $329,339,000 invested in owned skilled nursing and
assisted living facilities (before accumulated depreciation of $17,475,000),
approximately $240,574,000 invested in mortgage loans (before allowance for
doubtful accounts of $1,000,000) and approximately $87,744,000 invested in REMIC
Certificates.  The Company's portfolio consists of 262 skilled nursing
facilities and 83 assisted living facilities in 33 states.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company completed
approximately $174,624,000 in new investments.  The investments which closed
consisted of approximately $74,832,000 in mortgage loans and approximately
$99,792,000 in owned properties.  The Company financed its investments through
the sale of 2,000,000 shares of common stock in public offerings at

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                                  (CONTINUED)

prices ranging from $17.75 to $18.50 per share, the sale of 3,080,000 shares of
9.5% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share, short-term
borrowings and cash on hand.

In September 1995, the Company entered into a seven year forward interest rate
swap agreement which is scheduled to be settled on November 17, 1997.  Under
this agreement, the Company was credited interest at the six month LIBOR and
incurred interest at a fixed rate of 6.655% on a notional amount of $60,000,000.
In August 1997, the Company entered into a hedge agreement which is is scheduled
to be settled by December 15, 1997.  Under this agreement, the Company locked
into a rate of 6.39% on the seven year Treasury Note Rate on a notional amount
of $65,000,000.  These agreements were made in connection with an anticipated
REMIC to be completed in 1998 and will be extended until the consummation of the
REMIC transaction therefore, any associated gains or losses will be included as
a component of the fair market value of the assets received in the transaction.
At September 30, 1997, the Company had a total unrealized loss of $1,761,000 on
these agreements.

During the third quarter of 1997, the Company obtained a 45 day $10,000,000 bank
loan and a 90 day $10,000,000 bank loan at LIBOR plus 3%.  As of September 30,
1997, the Company also had $81,142,000 outstanding under its repurchase
agreement secured by mortgages loans and $29,545,000 outstanding under its
unsecured revolving credit agreement.  On October 3, 1997, all amounts
outstanding under the 90 day bank loan, the 45 day bank loan, the repurchase
agreement and the unsecured revolving credit agreement were refinanced with a
$170,000,000 Senior Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit (the "Revolving Credit
Facility") which expires on October 3, 2000.  The Revolving Credit Facility
pricing varies between LIBOR plus 1.25% and LIBOR plus 1.5% depending on the
Company's leverage ratio.  Currently the pricing is LIBOR plus 1.375%.  The
Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants including, but not
limited to, maximum leverage ratios, minimum debt service coverage ratios, cash
flow coverage ratios and minimum consolidated tangible net worth.  As of
November 6, 1997, the Company had $134,500,000 in borrowings outstanding under
its Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company has the option to redeem, without penalty, its outstanding $639,000
aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures at any
time.  Since such debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company at
a conversion price of $10.00 per share, the Company anticipates that
substantially all of such debentures will be converted if it elects to redeem
the debentures.

Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company completed investments totaling
$21,989,000.  As of November 6, 1997, the Company had outstanding commitments
aggregating approximately $199,674,000.  Included in these amounts were
commitments to Assisted Living Concepts for approximately $63,070,000, Home and
Community Care, Inc. for $49,214,000 and Carriage House Assisted Living, Inc.
for $6,380,000.  Commitments of $49,214,000 to HCI and $50,000,000 to ALC are
due to expire in 1999 and 2000, respectively

At November 6, 1997, the Company had approximately $131,675,000 available under
its shelf registration statement for future issuance of capital from time to
time.

As of September 30, 1997, the outstanding certificate principal balance and the
weighted average pass-through rate for the senior REMIC Certificates (all held
by outside third parties) was

                   MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                  (CONTINUED)

$192,632,000 and 7.87%. As of September 30, 1997, the unamortized cost and the
estimated fair value of the subordinated REMIC Certificates held by the Company
was $81,298,000 and $87,744,000, respectively. As of September 30, 1997, no
REMIC Certificates had been deemed impaired.

The REMIC Certificates retained by the Company are subordinate in rank and right
of payment to the certificates sold to third-party investors and as such would
bear the first risk of loss in the event of an impairment to any of the
underlying mortgages.  The returns on the Company's investment in REMIC
Certificates are subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies including,
without limitation, the level of prepayments, estimated future credit losses,
prevailing interest rates, and the timing and magnitude of credit losses on the
underlying mortgages collateralizing the securities that are a result of the
general condition of the real estate market or long-term care industry.  As
these uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and are subject
to future events that may alter management's estimations and assumptions, no
assurance can be given that current yields will not vary significantly in future
periods.  To minimize the impact of prepayments, the mortgage loans underlying
the REMIC Certificates generally prohibit prepayment unless the property is sold
to an unaffiliated third party (with respect to the borrower).  Additionally,
management believes it employs conservative underwriting policies and to date
there have been no credit losses on any of the mortgages underlying the
certificates nor are any credit losses currently anticipated.

The REMIC Certificates' fair values are estimated, in part, based on a spread
over the applicable U.S Treasury rate, and consequently, are inversely affected
by increases or decreases in such interest rates.  There is no active market in
these securities from which to readily determine their value.  The estimated
fair values of both classes of Certificates are subject to change based on the
estimate of future prepayments and credit losses, as well as fluctuations in
interest rates and market risk.

The Company believes that its current cash from operations available for
distribution or reinvestment, its borrowing capacity, the pending REMIC
transaction, and the Company's ability to access the capital markets  are
available  to provide for payment of its operating costs, provide funds for
distribution to its stockholders and to fund additional investments.  The
Company is considering various alternatives to raise funds to finance future
investments.

                                PROMISSORY NOTE


$10,000,000                                              Los Angeles, California
                                                              September 18, 1997

          For value received, LTC Properties, Inc. (the "Company") 
unconditionally promises to pay to the order of The Sumitomo Bank, Limited (the 
"Bank"), at its office located at 233 Wacker Drive, Suite 5400, Chicago, 
Illinois 60606, the principal amount of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00) on 
October 31, 1997 (the "Maturity Date"); provided, however that this Note shall 
                       -------------
become immediately due and payable upon (i) the occurrence of any of the events 
set forth in Section 9 of the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit 
Agreement dated as of May 21, 1996 among the Company, the Bank, Sanwa Bank 
California, as agent, and the banks party thereto (as amended, the "Credit 
                                                                    ------
Agreement"), each of the terms of which Section 9 are hereby incorporated herein
- ---------
mutatis mutandis, (ii) the filing by, or against, the Company of any petition 
- ----------------
for protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any similar statute, 
(iii) the effective date of any credit agreement (other than the Credit 
Agreement) entered into by the Company and financial institutions including 
Sanwa Bank California as agent and the Bank, or (iv) the forty-fifth day after 
the date on which the first loan evidenced hereunder was made.

          Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in 
Annex I to this Note.

          The Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid balance of the 
principal amount of this Note from and including the date of this Note to but 
excluding the date this Note is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the 
Eurodollar Rate or, if applicable as provided below, the Base Rate.

          The principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued interest, shall be
due and payable on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as provided in this 
Note.  Any amount of principal of or interest on this Note not paid when due 
(whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest from and 
including such date to but excluding the date paid in full, at a rate per annum 
equal to 2.0% in excess of the rate set forth below (the "Post-Default Rate").

          Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a 
Base Rate Loan, monthly on the last day of each month, (ii) in the case of a 
Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period for such Loan and (iii)
in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment of such Loan or the 
Conversion or Continuance of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on 
the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or Continued), except that 
interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on
demand.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed.

          The Company shall have the right to prepay Loans, or to Convert Loans 
of one Type into Loans of another Type or Continue Loans of one Type as Loans of
the same Type, at any time or from time to time; provided that:  (a) the Company
                                                 --------
shall give the Bank notice of each such prepayment, Conversion or Continuation 
as provided herein (and, upon the date specified in any such

<PAGE>
 
notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable 
hereunder); (b) Eurodollar Loans may be Continued or Converted only on the last 
day of an Interest Period for such Loans; and (c) Eurodollar Loans may only be
prepaid on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans unless all costs to
be paid pursuant to Section 5 of the Credit Agreement (each of the terms,
conditions and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein mutatis
mutandis) as a result of such prepayment are paid simultaneously with such
prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and
remedies of the Bank, in the event that any default under this Note or under the
Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, the Bank may suspend the
right of the Company to Convert any loan into a Eurodollar Loan, or to Continue
any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, in which event all Loans shall be Converted into
(on the last day(s) of their respective Interest Periods) into Base Rate Loans.
In addition upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 5 of
the Credit Agreement precluding the making of Eurodollar Loans, all Eurodollar
Loans shall be Converted into Base Rate Loans.

      Notices by the Company to of Conversions, Continuations and optional 
prepayments of Loans, of Types of Loans and of the duration of Interest Periods 
shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Bank not 
later than 12:00 noon Chicago time three Business Days prior to the date of the 
relevant Conversion, Continuation or prepayment or the first day of such 
Interest Period. 

      Each notice of Conversion, Continuation or optional prepayment shall 
specify the Loans to be Converted, Continued or prepaid and the amount and Type 
of each Loan to be Converted, Continued or prepaid and the amount and Type of
each Loan to be Converted, Continued or prepaid (and, in the case of a 
Conversion, the Type of Loan to result from such Conversion) and the date of 
Conversion, Continuation or optional prepayment (which shall be a Business Day).
Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans 
to which such Interest Period is to relate. In the event that the Company fails 
to select the Type of Loan, or the duration of any Interest Period for any 
Eurodollar Loan, within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Note, 
such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Loan) will be automatically Converted 
into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for 
such Loan or (if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan) will remain as, or (if not 
then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan.

      Each Conversion and partial prepayment of principal of Loans shall be in
an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000 (Conversions or prepayments of
or into Loans of different Types or, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, having
different Interest Periods at the same time to be deemed separate borrowings,
Conversions and prepayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or
Interest Period). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the
aggregate principal amount of Eurodollar Loans of each Type having the same
Interest Period shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 and, if any
Eurodollar Loans would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period,
such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans during such period.

      No more than three separate Interest Periods in respect of Eurodollar 
Loans may be outstanding at any one time.

      All payments under this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United 
States of America and in immediately available funds at the Bank's office 
specified above. The Bank may (but

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any payment that is not made when
due (whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise) to any deposit account of 
the Company with the Bank. This Note may be prepaid in full or in part without 
penalty.

      The Company waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and any other 
notice or formality with respect to this Note.

      The Company agrees to reimburse the Bank on demand for all costs, expenses
and charges (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and charges) in 
connection with the negotiation, documentation, interpretation or enforcement of
this Note.

      This Note shall be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns 
and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns; 
provided that the Company may not delegate any obligations under this Note 
without prior written consent of the Bank.

          WHEREAS, in furtherance of such acquisition, the Boards of Directors

pursuant to which HCI will be the surviving corporation in the Merger;

          WHEREAS, ALC and HCI desire to make certain representations,
warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe
certain conditions to the Merger.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants,

          (e)  At the Effective Time, the holders of Dissenting Shares, if any,
shall be entitled to payment for such Dissenting Shares only to the extent
permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of the Dissenters' Rights
Statutes; provided, however, that if, in accordance with such Dissenters' Rights
Statutes, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall forfeit such right to payment of
the fair value of such Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon
be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of

with Section 1.4(a) hereof.

          Section 1.5  ALC Common Stock.  At and after the Effective Time, each

                                                                        --------

accordance with this Article II, cash representing the aggregate Merger
Consideration to be paid to holders of HCI Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.4
hereof and paid pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof (the "Cash Fund").
                                                        ---------   


          Section 2.2  Exchange of Shares.

               (a)  As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in no
event later than ten business days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to
each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates a form letter of
transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of
loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the
Certificates to the Exchange Agent), an Exchange Certificate (as defined below)
and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in
exchange for the Merger Consideration with respect to the number of shares of
HCI Common Stock represented by such Certificates.  The Exchange Agent shall
obtain an express representation (the "Exchange Certificate") from each holder
of a Certificate or Certificates that the respective Certificates are delivered
to the Exchange Agent free and clear of all liens and that no liens or security
interests exist which continue to encumber the Certificates upon surrender of
the Certificates to the Exchange Agent.  A form of the Exchange Certificate is
attached as Exhibit B. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and
cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter
of transmittal, duly executed, and a completed and signed Exchange Certificate,
the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor
the Merger Consideration with respect to the number of shares of HCI Common
Stock represented by such Certificates.  No interest will be paid or accrued on
the Merger Consideration.

               (b)  If any cash is to be paid to a person or entity having a
name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor
is registered, it shall be a condition of the payment of such cash that the
Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an
appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer,
and that the person requesting such cash shall pay to the Exchange Agent in
advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of cash to
a person or entity having a name other than that of the registered holder of the
Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to
the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not
payable.

               (c)  All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of
Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to
have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of
HCI Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
(subject, however, to the obligation to pay a $2.50 per share distribution that
has been or will be effected by HCI and payable in the form of cash,
cancellation of indebtedness (including interest thereon) or issuance of
indebtedness).  At or after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on
the stock transfer books of HCI of the shares of HCI Common Stock which were
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the
Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer
to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for Merger
Consideration as provided in this Article II.

               (d)  Any portion of the Cash Fund that remains unclaimed by the
stockholders of HCI for twelve months after the Effective Time shall be paid to
ALC.  Any stockholders of HCI who have not theretofore complied with this
Article II shall thereafter look only to ALC for payment of the Merger
Consideration with respect to such stockholders' shares of HCI Common Stock
pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, none of ALC, Newco, HCI, the Exchange
Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of HCI
Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to any public official pursuant
to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

               (e)  In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by ALC, the
posting by such person of a bond in such amount as ALC may determine is
reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it
with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for
such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable
in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

               (f)  ALC or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this
Agreement to any holder of shares of HCI Common Stock such amounts as ALC or the
Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of
such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax
law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by ALC or the Exchange Agent,
such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction
and withholding was made.

          Section 2.3  Earnout.

               (a)  In addition to the Merger Consideration provided to holders
of HCI Common Stock, following the Effective Time, each former stockholder of
HCI that had shares of HCI Common Stock exchanged for Merger Consideration
(other than holders of Dissenting Shares) pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof (the
"Former HCI Stockholders") shall also be entitled to certain Earnout Payments 
 -----------------------
(as defined below), if any, in accordance with the provisions of this Section
2.3.

               (b)  Subject to paragraph (c) below, within 10 business days
following the earlier of (i) the last day of ALC's fiscal quarter during which
either (x) a permanent certificate of occupancy has been obtained, (y) a
temporary certificate of occupancy and a license to operate a facility have been

                                  ARTICLE III

                     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HCI

          HCI hereby represents and warrants to ALC as follows:

          Section 3.1  Corporate Organization.

               (a)  HCI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. HCI has the corporate power
and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on
its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business
in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the
character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes
such licensing or qualification necessary, except for such failures to be so
qualified which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have or reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) on HCI. As used
in this Agreement, the term "Material Adverse Effect" means, with respect
                             -----------------------                     
to ALC, HCI or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, a material adverse
effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of such
party and its Subsidiaries (but only to the extent of such party's interest
therein) taken as a whole or a material adverse effect on such party's ability
to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby; provided,
however, that in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred
there shall be excluded any effect on the referenced party of any action or
omission of HCI or ALC or any Subsidiary of either of them taken with the prior
written consent of ALC or HCI, as applicable, in contemplation of the Merger.
As used in this Agreement, the word

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
"Subsidiary" when used with respect to any party means any corporation,
 ----------                                                            
partnership, limited liability company or other organization, whether
incorporated or unincorporated, any equity interests of which are owned by such
party or by a Subsidiary of such party, or which is consolidated with such party
for financial reporting purposes.  The copies of the Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws of HCI which have previously been made available to ALC, are true,
complete and correct copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of
this Agreement.

               (b)  Each Subsidiary of HCI is a corporation, duly incorporated
and validly existing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has the requisite
corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted.
Each Subsidiary of HCI is duly qualified to do business and in good standing in
all jurisdictions (whether federal, state, local or foreign) where its ownership
or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so
qualified, except for such failures to be so qualified which, individually or in
the aggregate, would not have or reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on HCI.

          Section 3.2  Capitalization.

               (a)  The authorized capital stock of HCI consists of 40,000,000

(in the case of clause (ii) above) for such violations, conflicts, breaches or
defaults which, individually or in the aggregate, will not have and would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on HCI.

business consistent with past practice since June 30, 1997, neither HCI nor any
of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due)
that, either alone or when combined with all other liabilities incurred since
June 30, 1997, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material
Adverse Effect on HCI.  On September 30, 1997, the outstanding indebtedness of
HCI and its Subsidiaries did not exceed $5.7 million.  The books and records of
HCI and its Subsidiaries have been, and are being, maintained in all material

best of HCI's knowledge, threatened, legal, administrative, arbitral or other
proceedings, claims, actions or governmental or regulatory investigations of any
nature against HCI or any of its Subsidiaries or challenging the validity or
propriety of the transactions contemplated by the HCI Documents.

               (b)  There is no injunction or governmental order, judgment or
similar decree applicable to HCI or any of its Subsidiaries which imposes any
restrictions on HCI or any of its Subsidiaries.

               (c)  Except as provided in Section 3.9(d) hereof, HCI and its
Subsidiaries and the home health agencies and hospice services that they operate
have, and are in compliance (without any defaults) with all permits,
authorizations, licenses, certifications and approvals they need to conduct the
businesses in which they are engaged and to be paid for the services they
provide, including Medicare and Medicaid provider certification, except where
the failure to be in such compliance would not have or reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect on HCI.  Except as provided in Section 3.9(d)
hereof, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of HCI, threatened
proceedings, actions or governmental or regulatory investigations of any nature
(including without limitation regulatory actions by the Health Care Financing
Administration ("HCFA")) that restrict, limit or terminate the permits,
                 ----                                                  
authorizations, licenses, certifications and approvals referred to in the
foregoing sentence, except for such proceedings, actions or investigations that
would not have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
HCI.

               (d)  On September 17, 1997, Home Health received a 23-day notice
of termination, pursuant to HCFA State Operations Manual (S) 3010(B), (the
"September Notice") to the effect that HCFA would terminate the status of Home
- -----------------                                                             
Health's main office in Forth Worth, Texas (the "Fort Worth Office") on October

6, 1997 if by September 26, 1997 Home Health did not submit to HCFA a
satisfactory "Plan of Correction" addressing certain noted deficiencies.  Home
Health delivered to HCFA a plan of correction on September 26, 1997, and at that
time, Home Health was verbally informed by HCFA staff that such plan of
correction appropriately responded to HCFA's concerns and that HCFA no longer
considered Home Health's license to operate its Forth Worth Office to be
scheduled for termination on October 6, 1997.  As of the date of this Agreement,
neither HCI nor Home Health have received any written confirmation from HCFA
which indicates that the Fort Worth Office's license is no longer subject to
termination as a consequence of the September Notice.

any returns, declarations, reports, estimates, information returns and
statements required to be filed under federal, state, local or any foreign tax
laws ("Tax Returns") with respect to HCI or any of its Subsidiaries, except 
       -----------
where the failure to file timely such Tax Returns would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on HCI. All Taxes due, whether or not shown to be due on such Tax
Returns, have been paid or adequate reserves have been established for the
payment of such Taxes, except where the failure to pay or establish adequate
reserves would not, individually or in the aggregate, have and would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on HCI. No material (i)
audit or examination of any Tax Return with respect to HCI or any of its
Subsidiaries is currently in progress or has been conducted and neither HCI nor
any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of any proposed audit or
examination, (ii) deficiencies for any taxes have been proposed, asserted or
assessed or (iii) refund litigation with respect to any Tax Return is pending.
All material Tax Returns filed by HCI and each of its Subsidiaries are complete
and accurate in all material respects.

               (b)  For purposes of this Agreement, "Taxes" shall mean all 
                                                     -----

limitation, all net income, gross income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad

Benefit Plans covering employees or former employees of HCI or its Subsidiaries
has engaged in or been a party to a transaction that is prohibited under Section
4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA and not exempt under Section 4975 of
the Code or Section 408 of ERISA, respectively.

                    (v)    No employee or former employee of HCI or its
Subsidiaries shall accrue or receive additional benefits, service or accelerated
rights to payment of benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan or Benefit
Arrangement covering employees or former employees of HCI or its Subsidiaries or

result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          Section 6.1  Cooperation as to Regulatory Matters.

               (a)  The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use
reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary
documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings to
obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and
authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities which are
necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (including without limitation the Merger), to comply with the terms

proceedings challenging this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

               (b)  ALC and HCI shall, upon request, furnish each other with all
information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, Newco, directors,

          Section 6.2  Access to Information.

               (a)  Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws
relating to the exchange of information, HCI shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and
other representatives of the other property access, during normal business hours
during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books,
contracts, commitments and records, and to its officers, employees, accountants,
counsel and other representatives and, during such period, HCI shall, and shall
cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to the other party (i) a copy of each
report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by
it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws
(other than reports or documents which HCI, as the case may be, is not permitted
to disclose under applicable law) and (ii) all other information concerning its
business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonable request.
None of HCI nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to
or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or
prejudice the rights of its customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege
of the institution in possession or control of such information or contravene
any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding
agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto
will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in
which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

               (b)  Neither HCI nor ALC shall disclose to any third party, other

party's Subsidiaries or representatives pursuant to Section 6.2(a) hereof,

written consent from holders of the requisite shares of HCI Voting Stock to
effect the Merger or (ii) duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting
of its stockholders to be held, in each case, as soon as practicable following
the date hereof for the purpose of obtaining the requisite stockholder approvals
required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger.  Subject to the
provisions of the next sentence, HCI shall, through its Board of Directors,
recommend to its stockholders approval of such matters.  The Board of Directors
of HCI may fail to make such recommendation, or withdraw, modify or change any
such recommendation in a manner adverse to the other party hereto, if such Board
of Directors, after having consulted with and considered the advice of outside
counsel, has reasonably determined in good faith that the making of such
recommendation, or the failure to withdraw, modify or change its recommendation,
would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the members of such Board
of Directors under applicable law.

          Section 6.4  Legal Conditions to Merger.  Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each of ALC and HCI shall, and shall cause their
respective Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts (i) to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly
with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party or its
Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth
in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and (ii) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain)
any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any
Governmental Entity and any other third party which is required to be obtained
by HCI or ALC or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               (a)  ALC agrees that from and after the Effective Time, ALC
shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless
each present and former director and officer of HCI and its Subsidiaries,
determined as of the Effective Time (the "Indemnified Parties"), against any
                                          -------------------
costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines,
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively "Costs") incurred in
                                                      -----
connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining
to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether
asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest
extent that HCI or such Subsidiary would have been required to indemnify under
the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of HCI or such Subsidiary in effect on
the date hereof to indemnify such person (and such party shall also advance
expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law;
provided, that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking
to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not
entitled to indemnification).

               (b)  An Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under
Section 6.5(a) or (b) hereof upon learning of any such claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigations shall promptly notify the indemnifying party
thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the indemnifying party
of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such
failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party.  In the event of any such
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or
after the Effective Time), the indemnifying party shall have the right to assume
the defense thereof and it shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for
any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred
by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that,
if the indemnifying party elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the
Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of
interest between the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Parties, the
Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and the
indemnifying party shall pay all reasonable fees and expense of such counsel for
the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received.  If such
indemnity is not available with respect to any Indemnified Party, then the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party shall contribute to the amount
payable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect relative faults and
benefits.

               (c)  The provisions of this Section 6.5 are intended to be for
the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or
her heirs and representatives.

          Section 6.6  Additional Agreements.  In case at any time after the
Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title
to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any
of the parties to the merger, the proper officers and directors of each party of
this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary
action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, ALC;
provided, further, that the vote or written consent of the Former HCI
Stockholders that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of HCI Common Stock (including HCI Voting
Common Stock and HCI Non-Voting Common Stock) shall be effective for any such
further action required on the part of the Former HCI Stockholders and shall be
effective and binding upon all Former HCI Stockholders.

          Section 6.7  Advise of Changes.  HCI shall promptly advise ALC of any
change or event which, individually or in the aggregate with other such changes
or events, has a Material Adverse

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
Effect on HCI or which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause
or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or
covenants contained herein.

          Section 6.8  Qualified Sites and Identified Sites.  On or prior to
Closing, HCI shall notify ALC of: (i) all parcels of land that HCI owns where
assisted living facilities can be developed, and (ii) all Options to Purchase or
Purchase Agreements to which HCI is a party with respect to such parcels of land
where assisted living facilities can be developed.  Such notice shall list all
such parcels and shall identify up to 39 of such parcels as "Qualified Sites"
                                                             --------------- 
for the purposes of this Agreement.  Within 90 calendar days following the
Effective Time (the "First 90-Day Period"), ALC shall notify the Former HCI
                     -------------------                                   
Stockholders in writing of the Qualified Sites on which (or within 15 miles of
which) ALC intends to develop an assisted living facility and may identify up to
10 Qualified Sites on which (or within 15 miles of which) it may have an
intention to develop an assisted living facility (the "Possible Sites").  Within
                                                       --------------           
90 calendar days following the First 90-Day Period (the "Second 90-Day Period"),
                                                         --------------------   
ALC shall notify the Former HCI Stockholders in writing of the Possible Sites on
which (or within 15 miles of which) ALC intends to develop an assisted living
facility.  Each Qualified Site on which (or within 15 miles of which) ALC
indicates during the First 90-Day Period that an assisted living facility will
be developed shall be considered an "Identified Site" for purposes of this
                                     ---------------                      
Agreement.  In addition, each Possible Site on which (or within 15 miles of
which) ALC indicates during the Second 90-Day Period that an assisted living
facility will be developed shall be considered an "Identified Site" for purposes
                                                   ---------------              
of this Agreement.  For the two-year period following the Effective Time, ALC
shall not develop, construct, obtain a certificate of occupancy with respect to,
purchase and/or operate an assisted living facility that is at (or within 15
miles of) a Qualified Site, unless such Qualified Site is an Identified Site.

          Section 6.9  Formation of Newco.  As soon as reasonably practicable
following the execution of this Agreement, ALC shall cause Newco to be formed as
a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Nevada with the corporate power and authority to effect the
Merger.

          Section 6.10  No Solicitation of Alternate Transaction.  HCI and its
Subsidiaries will not, directly or indirectly, and will use its reasonable best
efforts to cause its officers, directors and agents not to solicit, initiate or
deliberately encourage submission of proposals or offers from any person
relating to any acquisition or purchase of all or a material amount of the
assets of, or any equity interest in, HCI or any merger, consolidation or
business combination with HCI; provided, however, that consistent with its
fiduciary obligations under applicable law as advised by counsel, HCI may
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, and may furnish to any
other person information with respect to, any of the foregoing.  HCI shall
promptly notify ALC if any such proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact
with any person with respect thereto, is made.

          Section 6.11  Bring-Down of Representation and Warranties. At the
Effective Time, by the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Nevada
Secretary, each of HCI and ALC shall be deemed to have affirmed in all material
respects the representations and warranties that are not qualified as to
materiality in Articles III and IV, respectively, as if made on such Closing
Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an
earlier date) and shall be deemed to have affirmed the representations and
warranties that are qualified as to materiality in Articles III and IV,
respectively, as if made on such Closing Date (except to the extent such
representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date); provided, however,
HCI shall have the right to amend the HCI Disclosure Schedule, so long as such
amended HCI Disclosure Schedule is not materially different from the HCI
Disclosure Schedule provided to ALC on the date of this Agreement; it being
understood that HCI shall, nonetheless, be permitted to amend Sections 3.15 of
the HCI Disclosure Schedule, whether or not material, to provide

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
for the addition of any Owned Real Property and/or Purchase Agreements (so long
as such Owned Real Property is acquired and/or such Purchase Agreements are
entered into, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Section
5.2(a) hereof) and/or to provide for the addition of any Options to Purchase, in
each case, with respect to parcels of land on which assisted living facilities
can be developed (as contemplated by Section 6.8 hereof).

          Section 6.12  Guarantee of HCI Obligations.  At the Effective Time,
ALC shall guarantee the performance of all obligations of HCI owing to LTC
Properties, Inc. ("LTC"), including without limitation, the obligations of HCI
                   ---                                                        
pursuant to the LTC Commitment (as defined in Section 7.1(e) hereof) and
pursuant to the note to be issued to LTC in connection with the $2.50 per share
distribution to HCI stockholders.

               (a)  by mutual consent of ALC and HCI in a written instrument, if
the Board of Directors of each so determines;

               (b)  by either the Board of Directors of ALC or the Board of

been satisfied by reason of the enactment or promulgation of any statute, rule
or regulation which prohibits, restricts or makes illegal consummation of the
Merger, the earlier of (i) the date on which such condition is satisfied and
(ii) December 31, 1997) unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date
shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to
perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

               (d)  by either the Board of Directors of ALC or the Board of
Directors of HCI (provided that the terminating party is not then in material
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained

agreements made by such other party herein or (ii) any of the representations or
warranties made by such other party herein, and in either case, such breach (x)
is not cured within thirty days following written notice to the party committing
such breach, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
cured prior to the Closing and (y) would entitle the non-breaching party not to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under Article VII hereof; and

               (e)  by either the Board of Directors of ALC or the Board of
Directors of HCI if any approval of the stockholders of HCI contemplated by this
Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the
required vote at a duly held meeting of stockholders or at any adjournment or
postponement thereof.


          Section 8.2  Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of
this Agreement by either ALC or HCI as provided in Section 8.1 hereof, this
Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of ALC, HCI,
any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any
of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in

this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or

of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the stockholders of

or compliance with the provisions hereof may be waived by the parties hereto at
any time after approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger
by the stockholders of HCI, by action taken or authorized by their respective
Board of Directors, and by vote or written consent of holders of a majority of
the then outstanding shares of HCI Voting Common Stock (if such action is taken
prior to the Effective Time) or by vote or written consent of Former HCI
Stockholders that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of HCI Common Stock (including HCI Voting
Common Stock and HCI Non-Voting Common Stock) (if such action is taken after the
Effective Time).  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in
writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

          Section 8.4  Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Effective
Time, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective
Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for
the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties
hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and  warranties
contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive
compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.  Any
agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be
valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party,
but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an
obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of,
or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

                         HOME AND COMMUNITY CARE, INC.

                                October 4, 1997

and warranties set forth in Article III of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization (the "Agreement") by and between Assisted Living Concepts, Inc.,

                            HCI DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE

SECTION 3.6  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES

1.  In connection with a $2.50 per share distribution to HCI stockholders, HCI
intends to issue a $5,000,000 note to LTC Properties, Inc., which note will bear
interest at a market rate of interest and shall be due in full upon the earlier
of (i) the closing date of a public offering of securities of ALC and (ii)
December 31, 1997.

2.  As of September 30, 1997, HCI had $296,000 in construction loans
outstanding.

3.  As of September 30, 1997, HCI's subsidiaries had $96,000 of capital lease
obligations outstanding.

4.  See Section 3.13(a) of the HCI Disclosure Schedule.


SECTION 3.8  ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES OR EVENTS

1.  Due to a health condition, Nancy Bannister, Pacesetter's President, no
longer works "full time" at Pacesetter.  Ms. Bannister is on a part-time
schedule.

2.  The general accounting office (GAO) reported to Congress in July, 1997, that
federal regulators are failing to adequately police home-health agencies,
resulting in extensive and expensive problems in Medicare's  home-health
program.  In response to the GAO report, the federal government announced on
September 15, 1997, that home health care providers will be targeted in a
growing federal crackdown.  The announced federal compliance program will
institute a three-step process in an effort to prevent unscrupulous operators
from becoming Medicare providers and significantly increase the level of
scrutiny to which existing companies in the program are subjected.  The first
step in this program was to institute an immediate moratorium on the admission
of new home health care agencies to Medicare. During the moratorium on new
providers, Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") will develop strict new
conditions of participation.  HCFA also will double the number of audits of
home-health  agencies it performs each year and increase substantially the
number of claims reviews.

    Under the new home health regulations to be proposed, HCFA will require
periodic recertification of home-health agencies to determine if they meet the
beefed-up conditions of participation. As part of the re-certification process,
agencies will have to submit an independent audit of their records and
practices. If the provider does not meet the strict new enrollment requirements,
they will not be renewed as providers in Medicare. In addition, home health
agencies will be required to post surety bonds of at least $50,000 before they
can enroll or re-enroll in Medicare. A related rule will require new agencies to
have enough funds on hand to operate for the first three to six months.
<PAGE>
 
          The regulations to be proposed by HCFA may require HCI to restructure
its operation of home health agencies to conform to the new Medicare conditions
of participation ultimately adopted.
