                       LTC Announces Operating Results for
               the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005


    WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2005--LTC
Properties, Inc. (NYSE:LTC) released results of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and announced that net
income available to common stockholders for the third quarter was $5.9
million or $0.26 per diluted share. For the same period in 2004, net
income available to common stockholders was $4.9 million or $0.24 per
diluted share. Results for 2005 and 2004 included a loss on sale of
assets of $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The loss on
sale of $0.8 million was related to a closed skilled nursing property
located in Texas that the Company sold to a third party who wanted to
use the property to house victims of hurricane Katrina. As part of the
Company's hurricane relief efforts, the Company sold the property for
$1,000 and in addition, donated $50,000 in cash to the American Red
Cross hurricane Katrina relief fund. As a result of the sale, the
Company recognized a loss on sale of $0.8 million during the third
quarter of 2005. Revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2005, were $18.2 million versus $17.1 million for the same period last
year.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income available
to common stockholders was $28.9 million or $1.28 per diluted share
which included a loss on sale of assets of $0.8 million. Included in
these results is the effect of the receipt of $22.3 million in cash
related to the payoff of a note receivable which included past due
rental and interest income that had previously not been recorded by
the Company. The Company stated that the effect of the note payoff is
included in the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
as follows: $3.7 million in rental income related to past due rents
that were not accrued, $2.3 million of interest income related to past
due interest that was not accrued, a $0.5 million reimbursement for
certain expenses paid in prior years on behalf of CLC Healthcare,
Inc., a bonus of $1.0 million related to the realization of the value
of the note and non-operating income of $6.2 million, net of $1.3
million of expenses associated with the realization of the value of
the note. For the same period in 2004, net income available to common
stockholders was $10.3 million or $0.53 per diluted share which
included a gain on sale of assets of $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share,
and a charge of $4.0 million, or $0.21 per share, related to LTC's
redemption of its 9.5% Series A and 9.0% Series B Preferred Stock.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $58.0
million versus $50.6 million for the same period last year.
    The Company also announced that on October 31, 2005, its Board of
Directors, in recognition of her contributions to the Company, named
Wendy Simpson President and Chief Operating Officer. Ms. Simpson will

NOTE: Quarterly and year-to-date computations of per share amounts are
made independently. Therefore, the sum of per share amounts for the
quarters may not agree with the per share amounts for the year.
Computations of per share amounts from continuing operations,
discontinued operations and net income are made independently.
Therefore, the sum of per share amounts from continuing operations and
discontinued operations may not agree with the per share amounts from
net income available to common stockholders.

    Reconciliation of Funds From Operations ("FFO")

    FFO is a supplemental measure of a REIT's financial performance
that is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. We define FFO as net income available to common
stockholders adjusted to exclude the gains or losses on the sale of
assets and adjusted to add back impairment charges, real estate
depreciation and other non-cash charges. Other REITs may not use this
definition of FFO and therefore, caution should be exercised when
comparing our company's FFO to that of other REITs. FFO is used in the
REIT industry as a supplemental measure of financial performance, but
is not a substitute for net income per share available to common
stockholders determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
    The following table reconciles net income available to common
stockholders to funds from operations available to common stockholders
