              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 months ended March 31, 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 months ended March 31,
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.

2.       REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

MORTGAGE LOANS. During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company
invested $4,746,000 in mortgage loans secured by two assisted living facilities
("ALFs") with 78 units and advanced $978,000 for renovation and expansion under
a mortgage loan previously provided on an educational facility.

OWNED PROPERTIES. During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company
invested $1,157,000 in owned properties by completing the sale/leaseback of
eight ALFs for $22,203,000 that it had previously financed with mortgage loans
of $21,046,000.

REMIC CERTIFICATES. As of March 31, 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 $298,035,000 and 7.29%. As
of March 31, 1999, the carrying value of the subordinated REMIC certificates
held by the Company was $99,852,000. The effective yield on the subordinated
REMIC certificates held by the Company, based on expected future cash flows
discounted to give effect to potential risks associated with prepayments and
unanticipated credit losses was 17.51% at March 31, 1999.

On January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 134, "ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES RETAINED
AFTER THE SECURITIZATION OF MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE BY A MORTGAGE BANKING
ENTERPRISE" ("SFAS 134"). Upon adoption of SFAS 134, the Company, based on its
ability and intent to hold its investments in REMIC certificates, transferred
its REMIC certificates from the trading category to the available-for-sale and
the held-to-maturity categories. The transfer was recorded at fair value on the
date of the transfer.

Interest only certificates and certificates with an investment rating of "B" or
higher are now classified as available-for-sale and unrated certificates and
certificates with an investment rating lower than "B" are now classified as
held-to-maturity. Unrealized holding gains and losses are no longer recorded in

recorded at amortized cost. As of March 31, 1999, available-for-sale 
certificates were recorded at their fair value of approximately $48,359,000. 
Unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale certificates of $368,000 were 
included in comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 1999. 
At March 31, 1999, held-to-maturity certificates had a book value of 
$51,493,000 and a fair value of $50,034,000. As of March 31, 1999, the 
effective yield on the available-for-sale certificates and the 
held-to-maturity certificates, based on expected future cash flows discounted 
to give effect to potential risks associated with prepayments and 
unanticipated credit losses, was 23.2% and 11.9%, respectively.

3.       INVESTMENT IN DEBT SECURITIES

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company purchased $3,695,000

subordinated debentures and $15,025,000 face amount of ALC 6.0% convertible
subordinated debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $12,459,000. The ALC
convertible subordinated debentures have a weighted average effective yield of
18.9%. The Company accounts for its investment in ALC convertible subordinated
debentures at amortized cost as held-to-maturity securities. At March 31, 1999,

4.       DEBT OBLIGATIONS

As of March 31, 1999, $116,500,000 was outstanding under the Company's
$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 1.25%. The Company
has effectively fixed the interest rate on $50,000,000 notional amount of LIBOR
based variable rate debt by entering into an interest rate swap agreement
whereby the Company will be credited interest at three month LIBOR and will
incur interest at a fixed rate of 4.74%. The notional amount of the interest
rate swap is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not
represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or
received on the interest rate swap is recognized as an adjustment to interest
expense. The interest rate swap expires in November 2000.

On March 8, 1999, the Company obtained a $25,000,000 term loan that bears
interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% and matures on October 2, 2000. As of March 31,
1999, $25,000,000 was outstanding under the term loan.

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

OPERATING RESULTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased to $22,204,000 from
$21,219,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from
increased rental income of $2,114,000 and increased interest income from REMIC
certificates of $1,045,000 which was somewhat offset by a decrease in interest
from mortgage loans and notes receivable of $2,051,000 and a decrease in
interest and other income of $123,000.

Rental income increased $2,814,000 as a result of property acquisitions.
"Same-store" rents increased $218,000 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 $704,000 related to the
contribution of properties to LTC Healthcare, Inc. ("Healthcare") in September
1998 and $214,000 resulting from the disposition of properties. Interest income
from mortgage loans decreased due to the sale of mortgage loans in connection
with a REMIC securitization that was completed in May 1998. The decrease 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 44% in 1999 from 46%
in 1998. The decrease as a percent of revenues is largely due to a reduction in
interest expense resulting from the conversion of subordinated debentures.
Depreciation and amortization increased as a result of a larger 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.

As a result of the changes in revenues and expenses discussed above, net income
available to common shareholders increased to $8,768,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from $8,551,000 for the same period in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1999, the Company's real estate investment portfolio (before
accumulated depreciation and allowance for doubtful accounts) consisted of
$432,862,000 invested primarily in owned long-term care facilities, mortgage
loans of approximately $163,113,000 and subordinated REMIC certificates with a
weighted average effective yield of 17.51% of approximately $99,852,000. At
March 31, 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 $298,035,000 and 7.29%. The Company's portfolio consists of
273 skilled nursing facilities, 92 assisted living facilities and six schools in
36 states.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company had net cash provided
by operations of $13,408,000. In addition, the Company obtained a $25,000,000
term loan and had net borrowings of $16,500,000 under its unsecured revolving
credit facility. Borrowings under the term loan and the revolving credit
facility mature in October 2000 and currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%.

                                       9

<PAGE>

In 1998, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement whereby the
Company effectively fixed the interest rate on LIBOR based variable rate debt.
Under this agreement, which expires in November 2000, the Company will be
credited interest at three month LIBOR and will incur interest at a fixed rate
of 4.74% on a notional amount of $50,000,000. The notional amounts of interest
rate agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not
represent the amount of exposure to credit loss.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company invested $4,746,000 in
mortgage loans secured by a two assisted living facilities ("ALFs"), advanced
$978,000 for renovation and expansion under a mortgage loan previously provided
on an educational facility and invested $1,157,000 in owned properties by
completing the sale/leaseback of eight ALFs that it had previously financed with
mortgage loans. The Company also purchased $3,695,000 face amount of Assisted
Living Concepts, Inc. ("ALC") 5.625% convertible subordinated debentures and
$15,025,000 face amount of ALC 6.0% convertible subordinated debentures for an
aggregate purchase price of $12,459,000. The ALC convertible subordinated
debentures have a weighted average effective yield of 18.9%.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company repurchased and
retired 316,800 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $4,108,000. During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the
Company declared and paid cash dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, Series
B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock totaling $1,829,000, $1,125,000,
$818,000, respectively. In addition, the Company declared and paid cash
dividends of $.39 per share on its common stock totaling $10,614,000.

As of March 31, 1999, borrowing capacity of $53,500,000 was available under 
the Company's $170,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility. The revolving 
credit facility had pricing of LIBOR plus 1.25% at March 31, 1999. In 
addition, at March 31, 1999 the Company had cash on hand of $16,797,000 and, 
after giving effect to borrowing base requirements for outstanding bank 
borrowings, $368,453,000 of available unencumbered real estate investments. 
Available unencumbered real estate investments consisted of $213,492,000 in 
owned properties (before accumulated depreciation), $55,109,000 of mortgage 
loans (before allowance for doubtful accounts) and $99,852,000 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 the three months ended March 31, 1999,
Sun was replaced as the operator at seven facilities which resulted in a $15.3
million reduction in the Company's total investment in facilities operated by
Sun to 17% ($159 million) of the Company's gross real estate investment
portfolio. The facilities operated by Sun as of March 31, 1999 consisted of
approximately $78 million of direct investments and $81 million of investments
in facilities owned by independent parties that lease the property to Sun or
contract with Sun to manage the property.

At March 31, 1999, the Company had mortgage loans to Retirement Group, L.L.C.
("Retirement Group") secured by three skilled nursing facilities. In addition,
the mortgage loans securing the 1998-1 REMIC pool included one mortgage loan to
Retirement Group secured by two skilled nursing facilities. At March 31, 1999,
the aggregate outstanding principal on the direct loans to Retirement Group was
$8.5

                                      10

<PAGE>

million and the outstanding principal on the loan made to Retirement Group 
securing the 1998- REMIC pool was $8.6 million. Retirement Group has leased 
the properties securing the loans to Sun. The Company has been informed by 
Sun that there is a dispute between Sun and Retirement Group and consequently 
Sun is currently offsetting the lease payments due to Retirement Group on 
these properties against certain alleged obligations of Retirement Group to 
Sun. Retirement Group has informed the Company that because they have not 
received the lease payments from Sun, Retirement Group is unable to make the 
mortgage payments due to the Company. Consequently, the debt service payments 
due to the Company and the 1998-1 REMIC pool from Retirement Group were 30 to 
60 days past due as of March 31, 1999. Sun has provided the Company with a 
guarantee of $1.7 million on the direct loans to Retirement Group and a 
guarantee of $2.1 million on the loan securing the 1998-1 REMIC pool.

The Company initiated foreclosure proceedings against Retirement Group; 
however, in May 1999, Retirement Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy 
(reorganization) and the bankruptcy court placed a temporary stay on the 
foreclosure proceedings. Until Retirement Group emerges from bankruptcy 
protection and resumes making mortgage payments, the direct loans to 
Retirement Group will be placed on non-accrual status which will result in a 
decrease in interest income from mortgage loans of approximately $235,000 per 
quarter. Based on the current fair value of the properties securing the loans 
to Retirement Care and the value of the loan guarantees by Sun, the Company 
anticipates that the impact, if any, of foreclosure of the Retirement Group 
loans on the Company's financial position or results of operations would be 
immaterial.

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.

The following table reconciles net income available to common stockholders to
FFO available to common stockholders (in thousands):

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 will be upgraded or
replaced. Implementation of year 2000 compliant Systems and upgrades to existing
Systems are expected to be completed by mid-1999. The total cost associated with
modifications required to become year 2000 compliant will not be 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 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

                                      12

<PAGE>

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.
