1.   GENERAL

LTC Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, is a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") that invests primarily in long term care facilities
through mortgage loans, facility lease transactions and other investments.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

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

OWNED PROPERTIES. In April and June 2000 the Company sold two skilled nursing
facilities. Net proceeds from these sales totaled approximately $3,833,000.

MORTGAGE LOANS. At June 30, 2000, the Company had 53 mortgage loans secured by
first mortgages on 52 skilled nursing facilities with a total of 5,621 beds and
10 assisted living residences with a total of 580 units located in 23 states. At
June 30, 2000, the mortgage loans had interest rates ranging from 9.0% to 13.5%
and maturities ranging from 2000 to 2018. In addition, the loans contain certain
guarantees, provide for certain facility fees and generally have 25-year
amortization schedules. The majority of the mortgage loans provide for annual
increases in the interest rate based upon a specified increase of 10 to 25 basis
points.

REMIC CERTIFICATES. As of June 30, 2000 the outstanding certificate principal
balance and the weighted average pass-through rate for the senior REMIC
certificates (all held by outside third parties) was $272,632,000 and 7.22%. As
of June 30, 2000, the carrying value of the subordinated REMIC certificates held
by the Company was $96,838,000. 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 17.01% at June 30, 2000.

Interest only certificates and certificates with an investment rating of "BB" or
higher are classified as available-for-sale and unrated certificates and
certificates with an investment rating of "B" or lower are classified as
held-to-maturity. As of June 30, 2000, available-for-sale certificates were
recorded at their fair value of approximately $44,577,000. Unrealized holding
gains on available-for-sale certificates of $55,000 were included in
comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Unrealized
holding losses on available-for-sale certificates of $705,000 were included in
comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 1999. At June 30, 2000
held-to-maturity certificates had a book value of

                                   (UNAUDITED)

$52,261,000 and a fair value of $45,141,000. As of June 30, 2000, 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 22.9% and 11.9%, respectively.

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of June 30, 2000, 30 real estate properties with a gross carrying value of
$78,656,000 or 8.67% of the Company's gross real estate investment portfolio
(adjusted to include mortgage loans underlying the REMIC Certificates) were
operated by LTC Healthcare, Inc. ("Healthcare"). During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded rental income of
approximately $2,045,000 and $4,087,000 respectively, from Healthcare. In
April 2000, the Company sold a facility that has continued to be operated by
Healthcare. Healthcare anticipates that the lease with the new owner will be
terminated and that it will no longer operate the facility once the new owner
receives a change of ownership licensure from the government payors. These
properties, which are leased, in general, are on a short-term basis, and once
the properties are stabilized, new rental rates may be approved by the
independent members of the Board of Directors of both Healthcare and the
Company. The Company is in the process of evaluating rents on properties
which are currently under performing. The results of the review may be to
reduce certain rents or to close and sell certain properties. If rents are
reduced, it is management's estimate that the reduction in the annual rental
income to the Company may range from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000.

October 2, 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, pricing under the
Revolving Credit Facility was LIBOR plus a range of 1.25% to 1.375%. As of
June 30, 2000, $25,000,000 was outstanding under a term loan that bears
interest at LIBOR plus 1.375% and provides for a maturity of October 2, 2000.

The Company has been negotiating a renewal of the Revolving Credit Facility,
as well as a renewal of a $25,000,000 term loan (the "Term Loan"), which also
provides for a maturity of October 2, 2000. Bank of America Corporation, one
of the nine lenders/participants in the Revolving Credit Facility, has
recently indicated it would not agree to renew its participation in the
Revolving Credit Facility unless the Company agrees to new terms which the
Company believes are not commercially reasonable. Failure to renew the
Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan on commercially reasonable terms
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In the event that the
Company and the lenders are unable to agree on a renewal of the Revolving
Credit Facility, as well as the Term Loan; the amounts outstanding thereunder
would be due on October 2, 2000, and the Company does not have a source for
repayment of such amounts by such date. In addition, the Company has
$32,192,000 in principal amounts of Convertible Subordinated Debentures and
certain other debt, which contain provisions permitting acceleration if there
are certain defaults in the Company's indebtedness, which would include
defaults under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan. The Company
has consulted with legal counsel and is considering various alternatives if
the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan are not renewed, such as
lender liability lawsuits, and seeking the protections afforded under Chapter
11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. If the Company and the lenders reach
agreement, the Company expects the new credit agreement will be at a higher
rate of interest, require some collateralization, include mandatory periodic
paydowns, further limit dividend distributions and restrict repurchases of
stock.

5.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company repurchased and retired
1,005,600 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of

dividends of $ 0.29 per share per quarter on its common stock totaling
$15,126,000.

6.   MAJOR OPERATORS

Sun Healthcare, Inc. ("Sun") is currently operating its business as a
debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. At
June 30, 2000, Sun operated 40 facilities representing 11.93% or $108,319,000 of
the Company's gross real estate investment portfolio.

As of June 30, 2000, Sun was not current on principal and interest payments on
two mortgage loans with a combined principal balance of approximately $9,041,000
that were secured by five properties. Based on an agreement approved by the
Bankruptcy Court, the following events happened subsequent to the close of the
second quarter. The Company has agreed to purchase these five properties from
Sun for the

amount of debt that was outstanding. In connection with this purchase, Sun
paid the accrued interest that was due on these loans to the Company. Since
the loans were on non-accrual status, the Company will recognize this
interest income in the third quarter when it was received. Two of the
properties have already been transferred to the Company and are leased to a
third party for an initial annual rental payment of approximately $559,000.
The remaining three properties are scheduled to be transferred to the Company
on or prior to August 31, 2000. As a result of the above agreement, Sun is
now current on all of its mortgage and lease payments to the Company as well
as all payments on mortgages collateralized by the Company's REMIC
certificates.

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

OPERATING RESULTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased to $22,717,000 from
$22,958,000 for the same period in 1999. Rental income for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 increased $1,609,000 compared to the same period of 1999
primarily as a result of the acquisition of 15 properties and the receipt of
rental increases as provided for in the lease agreements. Ten of these
properties were leased to LTC Healthcare, Inc. ("Healthcare") beginning
September 1999, October 1999 and January 2000. The other five properties were
leased to third party payors. Same store rental income, properties owned for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 and the three months ended June 30,1999,
increased $221,000 due to the receipts of contingent rents and rental increases
as provided for in the lease agreements. The decrease in interest income from
mortgage loans and notes receivable is largely the result of the mortgage loans
which converted to owned properties and were then leased to third parties as
discussed above. Interest income from REMIC certificates for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 decreased $90,000 compared to the same period of 1999 as a
result of the effect of the amortization of the related asset. Interest and
other income decreased $959,000 compared to the same period in 1999 primarily as
a result of certain investment gains that were realized in the second quarter of
1999.

Interest expense increased by $1,497,000 to $6,922,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from $5,425,000 during the same period in 1999 due to an
increase in debt outstanding along with general increases in interest rates.
Depreciation and amortization increased primarily as a result of the acquisition
of properties as discussed above. The increase in general and administrative
expenses is attributable to an increase in the number of full-time employees,
additional legal costs and the effect of the elimination of income received from
Healthcare for administrative costs.

Net income available to common stockholders decreased to $6,081,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $9,112,000 for the same period in 1999.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased to $45,223,000 from
$45,162,000 for the same period in 1999. Rental income for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 increased $3,411,000 compared to the same period of 1999 primarily
as a result of the acquisition of 15 properties and the receipt of rental
increases as provided for in the lease agreements. Ten of these properties were
leased to LTC Healthcare, Inc. ("Healthcare") beginning September 1999, October
1999 and January 2000. The other five properties were leased to third party
payors. Same store rental income, properties owned for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and the six months ended June 30,1999, increased $349,000 due to the
receipts of contingent rents and rental increases as provided for in the lease
agreements. The decrease in interest income from mortgage loans and notes
receivable is largely the result of the mortgage loans which converted to owned
properties and were then leased to third parties as discussed above. Interest
income from REMIC certificates for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased
$220,000 compared to the same period of 1999 as a result of the effect of the
amortization of the related asset. Interest and other income decreased
$1,053,000 compared to the same period in 1999 primarily as a result of certain
investment gains that were realized in the first half of 1999.

Interest expense increased by $2,852,000 to $13,443,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $10,591,000 during the same period in 1999 due to an increase
in debt outstanding along with general increases in interest rates. Depreciation
and amortization increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of
properties as discussed above. The increase in general and administrative
expenses is attributable to an increase in the number of full time employees,
additional legal costs and the effect of the elimination of income received from
Healthcare for administrative costs.

                                      10

Net income available to common stockholders decreased to $12,984,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $17,880,000 for the same period in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2000 the Company's real estate investment portfolio (before
accumulated depreciation and allowance for doubtful accounts) consisted of
$491,492,000 invested primarily in owned long-term care facilities, mortgage
loans of approximately $125,862,000 and subordinated REMIC certificates of
approximately $96,838,000 with a weighted average effective yield of 17.01%. At
June 30, 2000 the outstanding certificate principal balance and the weighted
average pass-through rate for the senior REMIC certificates (all held by outside
third parties) was $272,632,000 and 7.22%. The Company's portfolio consists of
262 skilled nursing facilities, 95 assisted living facilities and six schools in
36 states.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company had net cash provided by
operating activities of $23,597,000. The Company had additional bank borrowings
of $21,000,000 and repaid $12,500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
During the same period, the Company repaid $874,000 of principal on mortgage
loans payable and capital lease obligations. During the six months ended June
30, 2000, the Company repurchased and retired 1,005,600 shares of common stock
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7,968,000. During the six
months ended June 30, 2000, the Company declared and paid cash dividends on its
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
totaling $3,658,000, $2,250,000, and $818,000, respectively. On July 6, 2000,
the Company paid dividends on Series C Preferred Stock declared as of June 15,
2000 totaling $818,000. In addition, the Company paid quarterly cash dividends
on its common stock totaling $15,126,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, net cash used in investing activities
was $2,622,000. The Company invested $1,541,000 in the expansion and
improvements of existing properties and sold two skilled nursing facilities for
net proceeds of $3,833,000. In addition, the Company provided Healthcare with an
additional $13,158,000 in borrowings under the $20,000,000 unsecured line of
credit that bears interest at 10% and matures in March 2008. In addition,
principal payments of $6,231,000 were received on mortgage loans receivable
during the six months ended June 30, 2000, including $5,558,000 related to the
early payoff of two loans.

As of June 30, 2000, $143,500,000 was outstanding under the Company's
$170,000,000 Senior Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit (the "Revolving Credit
Facility"), which provides for a maturity of October 2, 2000. The Company has
been negotiating a renewal of the Revolving Credit Facility, as well as a
renewal of a $25,000,000 term loan (the "Term Loan"), which also provides for
a maturity of October 2, 2000. Bank of America Corporation, one of the nine
lenders/participants in the Revolving Credit Facility, has recently indicated
it would not agree to renew its participation in the Revolving Credit
Facility unless the Company agrees to new terms which the Company believes
are not commercially reasonable. Failure to renew the Revolving Credit
Facility and the Term Loan on commercially reasonable terms could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. In the event that the Company and the
lenders are unable to agree on a renewal of the Revolving Credit Facility, as
well as the Term Loan; the amounts outstanding thereunder would be due on
October 2, 2000, and the Company does not have a source for repayment of such
amounts by such date. In addition, the Company has $32,192,000 in principal
amounts of Convertible Subordinated Debentures and certain other debt, which
contain provisions permitting acceleration if there are certain defaults in
the Company's indebtedness, which would include defaults under the Revolving
Credit Facility and the Term Loan. The Company has consulted with legal
counsel and is considering various alternatives if the Revolving Credit
Facility and the Term Loan are not renewed, such as lender liability
lawsuits, and seeking the protections afforded under Chapter 11 of the
federal bankruptcy laws. If the Company and the lenders reach agreement, the
Company expects the new credit agreement will be at a higher rate of
interest, require some collateralization, include mandatory periodic
paydowns, further limit dividend distributions and restrict repurchases of
stock.

The Company expects its future income and ability to make distributions from
cash flows from operations to depend on the collectibility of its mortgage loans
receivable, REMIC Certificates and rents. The collection of these loans,
certificates and rents will be dependent, in large part, upon the successful
operation by the operators of the skilled

                                   11

<PAGE>

nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and schools owned by or
pledged to the Company. The operating results of the facilities will be
impacted by various factors over which the operators/owners may have no
control. Those factors include, without limitation, the status of the
economy, changes in supply of or demand for competing long-term care
facilities, ability to control rising operating costs, and the potential for
significant reforms in the long-term care industry. In addition, the
Company's future growth in net income and cash flow may be adversely impacted
by various proposals for changes in the governmental regulations and
financing of the long-term care industry. The Company cannot presently
predict what impact these proposals may have, if any. The Company believes
that an adequate provision has been made for the possibility of loans proving
uncollectible but will continually evaluate the status of the operations of
the skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and schools. In
addition, the Company will monitor its borrowers and the underlying
collateral for mortgage loans and will make future revisions to the
provision, if considered necessary.

As of June 30, 2000, Healthcare operates 29 properties in the Company's real
estate portfolio, of which 27 of these properties are leased from the Company
and two properties are owned by Healthcare and are securing mortgage loans
that collateralize the Company's REMIC Certificates. The 27 properties leased
from the Company currently generate annual rental income to the Company of
approximately $8,200,000. These properties, which are leased, in general, are
on a short-term basis, and once the properties are stabilized, new rental
rates will be approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors
of both Healthcare and the Company. The Company is in the process of
evaluating lease rates on properties operated by Healthcare. The results of
this evaluation may be to reduce rents for certain properties or to close and
sell certain properties. The Company expects that the annual rent agreed upon
by the Board of Directors may be substantially less than the annual rent
currently being paid. It is management's estimate that the reduction in the
annual rental income to the Company may range from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000.

The Company's investments, principally its investments in mortgage loans, REMIC
Certificates, and owned properties, are subject to the possibility of loss of
their carrying values as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates
and inflationary expectations. The effects on interest rates may affect the
Company's costs of financing its operations and the fair market value of its
financial assets. The Company generally makes loans that have predetermined
increases in interest rates and leases that have agreed upon annual increases.
In as much as the Company initially funds its investments with its Revolving
Credit Facility, the Company is at risk of net interest margin deterioration if
medium and long-term rates were to increase between the time the Company
originates the investment and replaces the short-term variable rate borrowings
with a fixed rate financing.

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,
in most cases, bear the first risk of loss in the event of 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).

The Company believes that its current cash flow from operations available for
distribution or reinvestment and its current borrowing capacity are sufficient
to provide for payment of its operating costs and provide funds for distribution
to its stockholders. The Company is presently in discussions with the lenders
for an extension of the Company's Bank Loans. Difficult capital market
conditions in the health care industry have limited the Company's access to
traditional forms of growth capital. As a result of the tight capital markets
for the health care industry, the Company has continued to limit its investment
activity in 2000. The Company expects to utilize cash from operations and
additional borrowings under the Bank Loans, if extended, to repay the
convertible subordinated debentures at maturity. If prevailing interest rates or
other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to
make commercial real estate loans) result in higher rates upon refinancing, the
interest expense relating to the refinanced indebtedness would increase and
therefore adversely

                                   12

affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, the lenders extending the Bank Loans may require periodic mandatory
paydowns, further limit dividend distributions, and restrict repurchases of
stock. If the Bank Loans are not extended, the Company's financial condition
and results of operations would be adversely impacted.

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 and
impairment charges, if any, 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 an 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):
