 (1)     Restricted stock awards are valued at their fair market value based on
     the per share closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York
     Stock Exchange on the date of grant. In March 1999, all outstanding shares
     of restricted stock were cancelled and replaced with a new restricted stock
     grant with a performance based vesting schedule. In connection with this,
     during 1999 Messrs. Dimitriadis, Pieczynski and Ishikawa were granted net
     new shares of 21,140, 11,880 and 8,400, respectively. Messrs. Dimitriadis,
     Pieczynski and Ishikawa and Ms. Privett were granted 80,000, 48,000, 36,000
     and 36,000 shares, respectively of restricted stock in 1997. Restricted
     stock holdings as of December 31, 1999 and their fair market value based on
     the per share closing price of $8.4375 on December 31, 1999 were as
     follows:

     Christopher T. Ishikawa          35,280                      297,675

          Dividends are payable on the restricted shares to the extent and on
     the same date as dividends are paid on our common stock. Messrs.
     Dimitriadis, Pieczynski and Ishikawa vested in 38,952, 21,384 and 15,120
     shares respectively in 1999. The remaining restricted shares vest at the
     rate of 10% of the original unvested amount per year beginning January 1,
     2001 provided that the Company's funds from operations per share has
     increased in the previous year. During 1997, the Board of Directors
     authorized the accelerated vesting of 18,800, 7,600, 4,000 and 6,000 shares
     of restricted stock granted in 1996 for Messrs. Dimitriadis, Pieczynski and
     Ishikawa and Ms. Privett, respectively. There were no stock options granted
     to executive officers during the year ended December 31, 1999, 1998 or
     1997.

 (2)      Such amounts, with the exception of the $175,000 of other compensation
     paid to Ms. Privett in 1999, represent our contribution to the named
     individual's deferred compensation account.

 (3)      Effective February 26, 1999, Ms. Privett resigned from our employment.
     The other compensation paid to Ms. Privett in 1999 represents a payment in
     connection with Ms. Privett's resignation of employment with the Company.

     Each director, excluding Mr. Dimitriadis and Mr. Pieczynski, receives a fee
of $10,000 per year for services as a director plus $500 for attendance in
person at each meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee meeting
held on a day on which the Board of Directors does not meet. In addition, we
reimburse the directors for travel expenses incurred in connection with their
duties as directors of our company.

     Directors participate in LTC Properties' Amended and Restated 1992 Stock
Option Plan and our 1998 Equity Participation Plan. Both plans permit the
Compensation Committee to grant nonqualified stock options or restricted shares
to directors from time-to-time. No stock options were granted to any directors
during 1999. During 1999, Messrs. King, Yellen and Ms. Simpson were granted
2,600, 2,600 and 3,080 shares of restricted stock, respectively. In addition,
directors are eligible to participate in our Amended Deferred Compensation Plan
whereby non-employee directors are entitled to receive annual deferred
compensation equal to a minimum of $10,000 per year. All contributions made by
us to the deferred compensation plan trust are invested in shares of our common
stock. In 1999, we contributed $10,000 to the deferred compensation account for
the benefit of each of our non-employee directors.


AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN 1999 AND OPTION VALUES AT DECEMBER 31, 1999

     No stock options were exercised during fiscal 1999 by any of the executive
officers and no unexercised options were held as of December 31, 1999 by any of
the executive officers.


EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     On March 26, 1999, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs.
Dimitriadis, Pieczynski and Ishikawa. The employment agreements dated March 26,
1999 amend and restate employment agreements dated June 30, 1998 between LTC
Properties and Messrs. Dimitriadis, Pieczynski and Ishikawa. Mr. Dimitriadis, as
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has been provided with a four-year
"ever-green" employment contract. Mr. Dimitriadis' current annual base salary is
$400,000. Mr. Pieczynski, as President and Chief Financial Officer, has been
provided with a three-year "ever-green" employment contract. Mr. Pieczynski's
current annual base salary is $265,000. Mr. Ishikawa, as Senior Vice President
and Chief Investment Officer, has been provided with a two-year "ever-green"
employment contract. Mr. Ishikawa's current annual base salary is $225,000. The
employment agreements provide that the base salaries of Messrs. Dimitriadis,
Pieczynski and Ishikawa may be increased at the discretion of our Board of
Directors. Any increase in base salary will automatically amend each executive's
respective employment agreement to provide that thereafter the executive's
annual base salary will not be less than the increased base salary approved by
our Board of Directors.

     If the executive officer's employment is terminated for any reason, except
for a termination for cause or a voluntary resignation without a good reason or
a change in control of our company, then we will pay the executive officer a
lump sum severance payment equal to four times his base salary for Mr.
Dimitriadis, three times his base salary for Mr. Pieczynski and two times his
base salary for Mr. Ishikawa. Upon a change in control of our company whether or
not the executive officer's employment is terminated, we will pay the executive
officer a severance payment in cash equal to $5 million for Mr. Dimitriadis,
$1.6 million for Mr. Pieczynski and $1.0 million for Mr. Ishikawa. In addition,
if any payment or benefit received by the executive officer from us subjects the
executive officer to excise taxes under the "golden parachute" rules on payments
and benefits, the executive officer will be entitled to receive an additional
amount (a "gross-up payment") to make the executive officer whole for these
excise taxes (and for all taxes on the gross-up payment). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, we will have no liability if an executive officer's employment is
terminated for cause or by voluntary resignation without a good reason. During
the term of his employment by us, each executive officer will devote the time
necessary to provide the services reasonably required by our Board of Directors
and will not, without the express approval of our Board of Directors, engage for
his own account or for the account of any other person or entity, in a business
which competes with us.

$25,000 per month for twenty months commencing in November 1999. In connection
with this, $175,000 was paid to Ms. Privett in 1999.

Item 12.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     TRANSACTIONS WITH LTC HEALTHCARE, INC. -- LTC Healthcare is a separate
public company on which Messrs. Dimitriadis and Pieczynski serve as members of
the Board of Directors. In addition, Messrs. Dimitriadis, Pieczynski, Ishikawa
and Ms. Kopta are executive officers of LTC Healthcare.

     We have entered into various agreements with LTC Healthcare, which, among
other things, provide for a sharing of corporate overhead under an
administrative services agreement. During 1999, LTC Healthcare reimbursed us
$740,000 for administrative services. In addition, we provided LTC Healthcare
with a $20.0 million unsecured line of credit that bears interest at 10% and
matures in March 2008. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 approximately
$17,543,000 and $6,337,000, respectively were outstanding under the line of
credit. During 1999, we recorded interest income related to the unsecured line
of credit of $1,514,000.

     During 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of a company that owns
two assisted living facilities leased to a third party operator from LTC
Healthcare for a total purchase price of $16,050,000.

     As of December 31, 1999, 17 skilled nursing facilities with a gross
carrying value of $36,055,000 were leased to LTC Healthcare. Also, as of
December 31, 1999, LTC Healthcare had mortgage loans secured by eight skilled
nursing facilities with total outstanding principal of $30,424,000 and a
weighted average interest rate of 9.18% payable to the Company's REMIC pools.
During 1999, the Company recorded rental income of approximately $779,000 on
properties leased to LTC Healthcare. Two of the skilled nursing facilities
securing the mortgage loans payable to the Company's REMIC pools are operated by
LTC Healthcare and the remaining six skilled nursing facilities are leased to
third party operators. Effective January 1, 2000, LTC Healthcare began operating
an additional 13 facilities with a gross carrying value of $40,009,000 that are
owned by the Company. Leases on 19 of the facilities operated by Healthcare will
expire in 2000 and the remaining 11 lease expirations range from 2004 to 2013.

     As of March 31, 2000, we owned 239,900 shares of LTC Healthcare common
stock, representing approximately 9.8% of LTC Healthcare's outstanding common
stock. Such shares were acquired in the open market subsequent to our
distribution of our investment in LTC Healthcare. As of March 31, 2000, LTC
Healthcare owned 194,100 shares of LTC Properties' common stock, representing
less than 1% of LTC Properties' outstanding common stock.
