              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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 three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998 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
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year. Certain reclassifications have been
made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year
presentation.

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 that is distributed to its stockholders.

As of September 30, 1999, 18 real estate properties with a gross carrying value
of $46,582,000 or 5.1% of the Company's gross real estate investment portfolio
(adjusted to include mortgage loans underlying the REMIC Certificates) were
leased to Healthcare.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (CONTINUED)


Effective October 18, 1999, the Company purchased 100% of the stock of
Missouri River Corporation ("Missouri River") from Healthcare for total
proceeds of $16,050,000 which equaled Healthcare's cost basis in the
properties owned by Missouri River. Missouri River owns two assisted living
facilities that are leased under long-term triple-net leases to a third-party
operator. Healthcare used the proceeds of $16,050,000 to repay outstanding
borrowings under the unsecured line of credit provided by the Company.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OPERATING RESULTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 decreased to $22,795,000
from $23,251,000 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in revenues resulted
from decreased rental income of $205,000, decreased interest income from REMIC
certificates of $195,000 and a decrease in interest and other income of $335,000
which was somewhat offset by a increase in interest from mortgage loans and
notes receivable of $279,000.

Rental income decreased $1,298,000 related to the contribution of properties to
LTC Healthcare, Inc. ("Healthcare") in September 1998 and $89,000 resulting from
the disposition of properties. Partially offsetting this decrease in rental
income was an increase of $907,000 related to property acquisitions.
"Same-store" rents increased $275,000 due to the receipt of contingent rents and
rental increases as provided for in the lease agreements. A reduction in new
investments in 1998 and a corresponding reduction in commitment fees resulted in
a decrease in interest and other income. The decrease in interest and other
income is mitigated by interest income on marketable debt securities and the
gain on the repurchase of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures.
Interest income of $451,000 on the unsecured line of credit provided to
Healthcare accounted for the increase in interest from mortgage loans and notes
receivable. The increase was somewhat offset by a decrease in interest on
mortgage loans due the temporary non-accrual of interest while borrowers were in
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. As of September 30, 1999, these assets had
emerged from bankruptcy protection. See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -Other Developments."

Total expenses as a percent of total revenues decreased to 48% in 1999 from 51%
in 1998. The decrease as a percent of revenues is largely due to a reduction in
interest expense resulting from the contribution of leveraged properties to
Healthcare on September 30, 1998 and the redemption of subordinated debentures.
Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily as a result of the
contribution of properties to Healthcare that were acquired by the Company
during the second and third quarter of 1998. The increase in general and
administrative expenses is due to the settlement of an employee related dispute.

Preferred dividends increased as a result of dividends on the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock which was issued in September 1998.

Net income available to common shareholders increased to $8,174,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 from $3,537,000 for the same period in
1998. Excluding the gain on the sale of real estate investments and the
unrealized loss on REMIC Certificates in 1998, net income available to common
shareholders decreased slightly to $8,174,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $8,280,000 for the same period in 1998.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased to $67,957,000
from $67,049,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted
from increased rental income of $2,803,000, increased interest income from REMIC
certificates of $867,000 which was somewhat offset by a decrease in interest
from mortgage loans and notes receivable of $2,759,000 and a decrease in
interest and other income of $3,000

                                     9

<PAGE>

Rental income increased $5,937,000 as a result of property acquisitions.
"Same-store" rents increased $648,000 due to the receipt of contingent rents and
rental increases as provided for in the lease agreements. Partially offsetting
the above increases in rental income were decreases of $3,301,000 related to the
contribution of properties to Healthcare in September 1998 and $481,000
resulting from the disposition of properties. Interest on the Assisted Living
Concepts, Inc. convertible debentures accounted for the increase in interest and
other income. Interest income from mortgage loans and notes receivable decreased
due to the sale of mortgage loans in connection with a REMIC securitization that
was completed in May 1998 which was somewhat offset by interest income on the
unsecured line of credit provided to Healthcare. The decrease in interest income
from mortgage loans was partially mitigated by an increase in interest income
from REMIC certificates from the retention of certificates originated in the May
1998 securitization.

Total expenses as a percent of total revenues decreased to 45% in 1999 from 48%
in 1998. The decrease as a percent of revenues is largely due to a reduction in
interest expense resulting from the contribution of leveraged properties to
Healthcare on September 30, 1998 and the redemption of subordinated debentures.
Depreciation and amortization increased as a result of a larger average
investment base in owned properties in 1999 as compared to 1998.

On January 1, 1999, in accordance with recently issued accounting standards, the
Company reclassified its investment in REMIC certificates from trading
securities to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. As a result of
the change in accounting for REMIC certificates, the Company no longer
recognizes unrealized gains or losses on changes in their fair value in current
period earnings.

Preferred dividends increased as a result of dividends on the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock which was issued in September 1998.

Net income available to common shareholders decreased to $26,054,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $29,212,000 for the same period in
1998. Excluding the gain on the sale of real estate investments and the
unrealized loss on REMIC Certificates in 1998, net income available to common
shareholders increased to $26,054,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from $25,864,000 for the same period in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1999, the Company's real estate investment portfolio (before
accumulated depreciation and allowance for doubtful accounts) consisted of
$460,076,000 invested primarily in owned long-term care facilities, mortgage
loans of approximately $146,251,000 and subordinated REMIC certificates of
approximately $98,248,000 with a weighted average effective yield of 17.4%. At
September 30, 1999, the outstanding certificate principal balance and the
weighted average pass-through rate for the senior REMIC certificates (all held
by outside third parties) was $287,464,000 and 7.22%. The Company's portfolio
consists of 266 skilled nursing facilities, 94 assisted living facilities and
six schools in 35 states.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company had net cash
provided by operations of $42,801,000. In addition, the Company obtained a
$25,000,000 term loan and had net borrowings of $28,000,000 under its unsecured
revolving credit facility. Subsequent to September 30, 1999, the Company
obtained mortgage financing of $18,485,000 from a third-party lender. The
mortgage loan is secured by 10 assisted living facilities, bears interest at
8.81% and matures in December 2009. Proceeds from the mortgage loan will be used
to repay outstanding borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company invested $6,678,000
in mortgage loans secured by three assisted living facilities ("ALFs") and
advanced $1,877,000 for renovation and expansion under a mortgage loan
previously provided on an educational facility. In addition, the Company
invested $4,657,000 in owned properties by completing the sale/leaseback of
eight ALFs that it

                                     10

<PAGE>

had previously financed with mortgage loans and acquiring one ALF. The
Company also invested $1,272,000 in the expansion and renovation of existing
facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
purchased $4,195,000 face amount of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. ("ALC")
5.625% convertible subordinated debentures and $15,645,000 face amount of ALC
6.0% convertible subordinated debentures for an aggregate purchase price of
$13,097,000. The ALC convertible subordinated debentures have a weighted
average effective yield of 19.1%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company repurchased and
retired 349,800 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $4,488,000. On September 30, 1999, $10,000,000 in outstanding
principal amount of 8.25% convertible subordinated debentures matured and was
repaid. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company repurchased
an aggregate of $17,050,000 face amount of its convertible subordinated
debentures on the open market for an aggregate purchase price of $15,780,000.

During the same period, the Company declared and paid cash dividends on its
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
totaling $5,487,000, $3,375,000, $2,453,000, respectively. In addition, the
Company paid quarterly cash dividends on its common stock totaling $21,297,000
which represented the dividend for the first and second quarter of 1999. The
cash dividend of $10,679,000 on the common stock for the third quarter of 1999
was paid on October 15, 1999.

As of September 30, 1999, borrowing capacity of $42,000,000 was available under
the Company's $170,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility which matures in
October 2000. The revolving credit facility had pricing of LIBOR plus 1.25% at
September 30, 1999. After giving effect to borrowing base requirements for
outstanding bank borrowings, the Company had $350,829,000 of available
unencumbered real estate investments at September 30, 1999. Available
unencumbered real estate investments consisted of $211,380,000 in owned
properties (before accumulated depreciation), $41,201,000 of mortgage loans
(before allowance for doubtful accounts) and $98,248,000 of REMIC certificates.

The Company believes that its current cash from operations available for
distribution or reinvestment, its borrowing capacity (including borrowings
against unencumbered real estate investments), and the Company's ability to
access the capital markets are sufficient to provide for payment of its
operating costs, provide funds for distribution to its stockholders and to fund
additional investments.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

At December 31, 1998, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. ("Sun") operated 70 facilities
representing 19% ($174.3 million) of the Company's gross real estate investment
portfolio (adjusted to include mortgage loans to third parties securing the
investment in REMIC certificates). During 1999, Sun was replaced as the operator
at 18 properties and the property owner repaid mortgage loans on two facilities
leased to Sun resulting in a reduction in the Company's total investment in
properties operated by Sun. During the third quarter of 1999, the Company
further reduced its investment in properties operated by Sun by terminating the
lease on two properties and acquiring four properties for the amount of debt
that was outstanding. These six properties have, in turn, been leased to LTC
Healthcare, Inc. As a result, at September 30, 1999, Sun operated 44 facilities
representing 12.7% ($115.5 million) of the Company's gross real estate
investment portfolio. Subsequent to September 30, 1999, Sun filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection. As of November 5, 1999, all rent and principal and
interest payments due from Sun are current.

At March 31, 1999, the Company had mortgage loans to Retirement Group, L.L.C.
("Retirement Group") secured by three skilled nursing facilities with an
aggregate outstanding principal balance of $8.5 million. In addition, the
mortgage loans securing the 1998-1 REMIC pool included one mortgage loan to
Retirement Group secured by two skilled nursing facilities with an outstanding
principal balance of $8.6 million. Retirement Group had leased the properties
securing the loans to Sun who, due to a dispute between Sun and Retirement
Group, was offsetting the lease payments due to Retirement Group against

                                     11

<PAGE>


certain alleged obligations of Retirement Group to Sun. Since Retirement was
not receiving the lease payments from Sun they were not making the mortgage
payments due to the Company or the 1998-1 REMIC pool. The Company initiated
foreclosure proceedings against Retirement Group; however, in May 1999,
Retirement Group filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the
bankruptcy court placed a temporary stay on the foreclosure proceedings.
Subsequently, the Company and Retirement Group entered into a stipulation
whereby, upon confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the bankruptcy
court, Retirement Group will pay all unpaid post-petition interest and all
unpaid pre-petition interest will be paid equally over 12 months beginning in
January 2000. The Company anticipates that the plan of reorganization will be
confirmed by the bankruptcy court during the fourth quarter of 1999.
Concurrent with the stipulation entered into between the Company and
Retirement Group, Retirement Group terminated the leases with Sun and the
properties are now operated by another long-term care provider. Retirement
Group resumed principal and interest payments beginning September 1, 1999.

At June 30, 1999, the Company leased two skilled nursing facilities and one
assisted living facility with a total gross book value of $8.2 million to
Newcare Health Corp ("Newcare") and had mortgage loans to Newcare secured by
three skilled nursing facilities with an aggregate outstanding balance of $11.9
million. On June 22, 1999, Newcare filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. On September
30, 1999, in an auction held by the bankruptcy court, the Company purchased the
three skilled nursing facilities for the amount of the outstanding mortgage
loans which were in turn leased to Healthcare.

The regulatory and reimbursement environments in which nursing home and assisted
living companies operate have experienced significant adverse changes in recent
months. Given the negative impact of these changes on the financial performance
of operators of nursing homes and assisted living facilities, the Company
intends to closely review its real estate investment portfolio for possible
impairment during the fourth quarter of 1999.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

The Company has adopted the definition of Funds From Operations ("FFO")
prescribed by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT"). FFO is defined as net income applicable to common stockholders
(computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation of real property and
after adjustments for unconsolidated entities in which a REIT holds an interest.
In addition, the Company excludes any unrealized gains or losses resulting from
temporary changes in the estimated fair value of its REMIC Certificates from the
computation of FFO.

The Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating
performance. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any
other GAAP measurement of performance as indicator of operating performance or
as an alternative to cash flows from operations, investing or financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes that FFO is helpful
in evaluating a real estate investment portfolio's overall performance
considering the fact that historical cost accounting implicitly assumes that the
value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. FFO provides an
alternative measurement criteria, exclusive of certain non-cash charges included
in GAAP income, by which to evaluate the performance of such investments. FFO,
as used by the Company in accordance with the NAREIT definition may not be
comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs that have not
adopted the NAREIT definition.

YEAR 2000

Currently many computer programs assume the first two digits of a year are
"19" and simply identify a year by the last two digits. It is widely
anticipated that, beginning in the year 2000 when the first two digits of a
year are "20" rather than "19", these computer programs will incorrectly
identify the year (i.e. the year 2000 will be incorrectly identified as
1900). Such miscalculations could result in the disruption of operations that
are reliant on these computer programs. Computer programs that identify a
year by four digits are deemed to be year 2000 compliant. The statements in
this section include year 2000 readiness disclosure within the meaning of the
Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act of 1998.

STATUS OF THE COMPANY'S INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS AND NON-INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS. Our primary use of information technology systems is its
internal accounting and information management software (collectively the
"Systems"). We have evaluated the Systems to assess whether they will
function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and beyond. Systems
that were determined to be non-compliant with the year 2000 and beyond have
been upgraded or replaced. The total cost associated with modifications
required to become year 2000 compliant was not material to our financial
position, results of operations or liquidity. Due to our limited reliance on
complex Systems, we believe the year 2000 issue, as it relates to its
internal Systems, will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

We will also have year 2000 exposure in non-information technology areas as
it relates to owned properties and our leased corporate offices. There is a
risk that embedded chips in elevators, security systems, electrical systems
and similar technology-driven devices may stop functioning on January 1,
2000. All of our owned properties are leased under triple-net leases and as
such, the cost to repair any of these items will be paid by the lessee. While
any disruption in services at our corporate offices due to failure of
non-information technology systems may be inconvenient and disruptive to
day-to-day activities, it is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

EXPOSURE TO THIRD PARTY YEAR 2000 ISSUES. We depend upon the following third
parties: our tenants and borrowers for rents and cash flows; our financial
institutions for availability of working capital and capital markets
financing; and our transfer agent to maintain and track investor information.
If our primary tenants or borrowers are not year 2000 compliant, or if they
face disruptions in their cash flows due to year 2000 issues, we could face
significant temporary disruptions in our cash flows after that date. These
disruptions could be compounded if the commercial banks that process our cash
receipts and disbursements are not year 2000 compliant. If there are
significant disruptions to the capital markets


                                      13
<PAGE>

as a result of year 2000 issues, our ability to access the capital markets to
fund investments could be impaired.

Neither we nor our lessees or mortgagors can be assured that the federal and
state governments, upon which our lessees rely for Medicare and Medicaid
revenue, will be in compliance in a timely manner. The General Accounting
Office has reported that the Health Care Financing Administration, which runs
Medicare, is behind schedule in taking steps to deal with the year 2000 issue
and that it is highly unlikely that all of the Medicare systems will be
compliant in time to ensure the delivery of uninterrupted benefits and
services into the year 2000. The General Accounting Office has also reported
that, based upon its survey of the states, the District of Columbia and three
territories, less than 16% of the automated systems used by state and local
government to administer Medicaid are reported to be year 2000 compliant. Due
to the general uncertainty surrounding the readiness of third-party tenants
and other third-parties, including the federal and state governments, with
which our lessees do business, we are unable at this time to determine
whether non-compliance with the year 2000 issue by third-parties will have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

CONTINGENCY PLAN. In the event we experience a significant disruption in cash
receipts due to the a delay in Medicare or Medicaid receipts by our tenants
or due to other year 2000 non-compliance issues, we would seek additional
liquidity from our lenders and slow our investment activity.

Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements contained in the above
discussion regarding year 2000 compliance should be read in conjunction with
the disclosure under the heading "-Statement Regarding Forward Looking
Disclosure" set forth below.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING DISCLOSURE

Certain information contained in this report includes forward looking
statements, which can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology
such as "may", "will", "expect", "should" or comparable terms or negatives of
those terms. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the
statements. These risks and uncertainties include (without limitation) the
following: the effect of economic and market conditions and changes in
interest rates, government policy relating to the health care industry
including changes in reimbursement levels under the Medicare and Medicaid
programs, changes in reimbursement by other third party payors, the financial
strength of the operators of the Company's facilities as it affects the
continuing ability of such operators to meet their obligations to the Company
under the terms of the Company's agreements with its borrowers and operators,
the amount and the timing of additional investments, access to capital
markets and changes in tax laws and regulations affecting real estate
investment trusts. Exhibit 99 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a
more comprehensive discussion of risks and uncertainties associated with our
business.
