stockholders to be held on Thursday, May&nbsp;4, 2006, at 10:00&nbsp;a.m. local time, at The Silverado Resort, 1600 Atlas Peak Road, Napa, California 94558 and at any and all adjournments of our
annual meeting. The approximate date on which this proxy statement and the form of proxy solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors will be sent to our stockholders is March&nbsp;31, 2006. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Voting Rights  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;22, 2006, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, our annual meeting, we had 23,299,191
shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters properly brought before the annual meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders
entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Voting of Proxies  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of
the Board. The Board's recommendations are set forth together with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote: </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
management and Board of Directors know of no matters to be brought before the annual meeting other than as set forth herein; no stockholder proposals were received by us on or before
December&nbsp;20, 2005, the deadline for inclusion of such proposals in this Proxy Statement. Other business may properly come before the annual meeting, and in that event, the proxy holders will
vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Revocability of Proxy  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The giving of the enclosed proxy does not preclude the right to vote in person should the stockholder giving the proxy so desire. A proxy may be revoked at any
time prior to its exercise by delivering a written statement to our Corporate Secretary that the proxy is revoked, by delivering to us a later-dated proxy executed by the person executing the prior
proxy, or by attending the annual meeting and voting in person. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to our Corporate Governance Policies on Director Independence, the Board undertook its annual review of Director independence in 2005. During this review, the Board considered
transactions and relationships between each Director or any member of his or her immediate family and LTC and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including those that would require reporting under </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>"Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions"</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> below. The Board also considered whether there were any transactions or relationships between
Directors or any member of their immediate family (or any entity of which a Director or an immediate family member is an executive officer, general partner or significant equity holder) and members of
LTC's senior management or their affiliates. The purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions existed that were inconsistent with a determination that the
Director is independent. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Board has affirmatively determined that each of the current directors standing for re-election is independent within the meaning of our director independence standards,
which reflect the NYSE director independence standards, except Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson. Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson are considered inside directors because of
their employment as senior executives of LTC. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In
determining that each of the other Directors is independent, the Board considered the following relationship, which it determined was immaterial to the Director's independence. The Board considered
that LTC purchased Senior Subordinated Notes as discussed in </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>"Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions"</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> below, issued by a company at which
one of our Independent Directors is an executive officer. The Senior Subordinated Notes were purchased in a transaction underwritten by third parties. The Board determined that this relationship did
not impair the independence of the Director. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Consideration of Director Nominees  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board is responsible for the selection of candidates for the nomination or appointment of all Board members. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, recommends candidates for election to our Board and considers recommendations for Board candidates submitted by stockholders using the same
criteria it applies to recommendations from Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members, Directors and members of management. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also
consider whether to nominate any person nominated by a stockholder pursuant to the provisions of our Bylaws relating to stockholder nominations as described in </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>"Stockholder
Proposals,"</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> below. Stockholders may submit recommendations in writing addressed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, LTC Properties,&nbsp;Inc., 31365 Oak
Crest Drive, Suite 200, Westlake Village, CA 91361. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once
a prospective nominee has been identified, by either the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or proposed by the stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation of the prospective candidate. This initial determination would include whatever information is provided with the
recommendation of the prospective candidate and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's own knowledge of the prospective candidate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may
make inquiries of the person making the recommendation or of others regarding the qualifications of the prospective candidate. The preliminary determination is based primarily on the need for
additional Board members to fill vacancies or expand the size of the Board. The Board's policy is to encourage selection of directors who will contribute to our overall corporate goals and to the
discharge of the Board's responsibility to our stockholders. As such, the Board would take into consideration the prospective candidate's ability to represent the interests of our stockholders, the
prospective candidate's standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may, at the request of the Board from time to
time, review the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the current makeup of the Board. Board members are expected to prepare for, attend and participate
in meetings of the Board and of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees on which they serve; therefore, a prospective candidate must have the ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and
attention to the diligent performance of his or her duties as a Board member. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers such other relevant factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board, the balance of
management and independent directors, the need for Audit Committee expertise and the evaluations of other prospective nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct
interviews with prospective nominees in person or by telephone. After completing the evaluation and interviews, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes a recommendation to the full
Board as to the persons who should be nominated by the Board, and the Board determines the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee. </FONT></P>

2004 Restricted Stock Plan. Both the 1992 Plan and the 1998 Plan permit the Compensation Committee to grant nonqualified stock options or restricted shares to directors from
time-to-time. No stock options were granted to non-employee Board members in 2004. The Compensation Committee may grant nonqualified stock options under our 2004
Stock Option Plan or restricted stock under our 2004 Restricted Stock Plan to directors from time to time. Mr.&nbsp;Boyd W. Hendrickson joined our Board on February&nbsp;1, 2005 and in accordance
with the provisions of the 1998 Plan was granted 15,000 nonqualified stock options that vest over three years on each anniversary date. At our February&nbsp;2, 2005 Board meeting, the Compensation
Committee granted 3,000 shares of restricted stock each to Mr.&nbsp;Hendrickson and Dr.&nbsp;Triche and 1,000 shares of restricted stock each to Messrs.&nbsp;King and Yellen. These shares of
restricted stock were issued from our 2004 Restricted Stock Plan and vest ratably over three years on the anniversary date of the grant. In addition, at our December&nbsp;7, 2005 Board meeting, the
Compensation Committee granted 1,000 shares of restricted stock from our 2004 Restricted Stock Plan to Mr.&nbsp;Hendrickson, Dr.&nbsp;Triche, Mr.&nbsp;King and Mr.&nbsp;Yellen, each. These
shares vest ratably over four years on the anniversary date of the grant. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
previous years, directors were eligible to participate in our Amended Deferred Compensation Plan (or Deferred Plan) whereby we made contributions of up to $10,000 for each
non-employee director. This Deferred Plan was frozen in 2002 and no contributions have been made on behalf of any employee or Board member since 2001. All previous contributions made by us
to the deferred compensation plan trust were invested in shares of our common stock and as dividends are paid on these shares, additional shares of our common stock are purchased on behalf of the
participants in the Deferred Plan. As of December&nbsp;31, 2005 the Deferred Plan held 12,661, 5,022 and 12,661 shares of our common stock on behalf of Mr.&nbsp;King, Dr.&nbsp;Triche and
Mr.&nbsp;Yellen, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2005, we purchased $10,000,000 face value of Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc (or SHG) Senior Subordinated Notes with a face rate of 11%, payable
semi-annually in arrears and maturing on January&nbsp;15, 2014. We paid approximately $9,933,000 in cash resulting in an effective yield of approximately 11.1% We purchased the SHG
Senior Secured Notes through an open market transaction underwritten by Credit Suisse and JP Morgan. The prospectus for the SHG Senior Secured Notes includes a provision for an interest rate
adjustment if the Senior Secured Notes are not registered within 240&nbsp;days of issuance. One of our Independent Board members is the chief executive officer of SHG. He abstained from Board
discussions contemplating the purchase of the SHG Senior Subordinated Notes and he abstained from the Board vote to approve the purchase of the SHG Senior Subordinated Notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;26, 1999, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis. The employment agreement dated March&nbsp;26, 1999 amends and
restates an employment agreement dated June&nbsp;30, 1998 between LTC and Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis. The March&nbsp;26, 1999 employment agreement was amended effective June&nbsp;30, 2000.
Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis, as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has been provided with a four-year "ever-green" employment contract. Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis' current annual
base salary is $400,000. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
April&nbsp;10, 2000, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms.&nbsp;Simpson. This agreement was amended effective June&nbsp;30, 2000. On March&nbsp;9, 2004, we entered
into a new employment agreement with Ms.&nbsp;Simpson. This new agreement provides Ms.&nbsp;Simpson as President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer with a
two-year "ever-green" employment contract and otherwise, has identical terms and conditions as the previous amended agreement except for severance payments that would result
from a change of control as disclosed below. Ms.&nbsp;Simpson's current base salary is $350,000. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
August&nbsp;9, 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms.&nbsp;Shelley-Kessler. Ms.&nbsp;Shelley-Kessler, as Vice President, Controller and Secretary, has been
provided with a one-year "ever-green" employment contract. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On

"ever-green" employment contract. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

we will have no liability if an officer's employment is terminated for cause or by voluntary resignation without a good reason. During the term of his employment by us, each 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

our executive officers participate (which provide benefits such as medical, dental and vision benefits coverage, life insurance protection, and 401(k) savings plan) are generally the same programs
offered to all of our full-time employees. Our officers at the level of vice president and above are eligible to participate in a supplemental medical insurance program which provides
participants with reimbursements for eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses such as primary insurance co-payments, deductibles, and certain elective medical
procedures not covered by the employee's primary insurance policy. During 2005, Messrs.&nbsp;Dimitriadis, Lyew and Malin and Mses. Simpson and Shelley-Kessler were reimbursed $2,215; $474; $1,540;
$962; and $1,297, respectively, from our supplemental medical insurance plan. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any
filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed
filed under such Acts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
2005, the Compensation Committee comprised Mr.&nbsp;King, Chair, Mr.&nbsp;Hendrickson, Dr.&nbsp;Triche and Mr.&nbsp;Yellen each of whom is a "non-employee
director" within the meaning of Rule&nbsp;16b-3 issued by the SEC and an "outside director" within the meaning of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Each
appointed Committee member will be subject to annual reconfirmation and may be removed by the Board at any time. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation of our executive
officers and determines our general compensation policy. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for the administration of our 1992 Plan, 1998 Plan, 2004 Stock Option Plan, and 2004 Restricted
Stock Plan. The Compensation Committee is authorized to determine the options and restricted stock awards to be granted under such plans and the terms and provisions of such options and restricted
stock awards. We have two executive officers, one of which is our Chief Executive Officer. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Compensation Philosophy  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee endeavors to ensure that the compensation programs for our executive officers are effective in attracting and retaining key executives
responsible for our company's success and are administered in appropriate fashion in the long-term interests of our company and our stockholders. The Compensation Committee seeks to align
total compensation for executive management with our overall performance as well as the individual performance of each executive officer. Our compensation package, which currently is comprised of base
salary, bonuses, stock options and restricted stock, is intended to reinforce management's commitment to enhancing profitability and stockholder value. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
policies of the Compensation Committee may be summarized as follows: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>(2)</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>An
executive's salary, bonuses and incentive compensation and other benefit programs should reflect both the Company's performance as a whole and the executive's individual

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
determining the level and composition of compensation for the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers various corporate performance measures, both in absolute terms
and in relation to similar companies, and individual performance measures. Although the Compensation Committee considers funds from operations per share as an important measure of our performance, the
Compensation Committee does not apply any specific quantitative formula in making </FONT></P>

decisions. The Compensation Committee also may evaluate the following factors in establishing executive compensation: (a)&nbsp;periodically, the comparative compensation surveys and
other material concerning compensation levels and stock grants at similar companies; (b)&nbsp;our historical compensation levels and stock awards; (c)&nbsp;overall competitive environment for
executives and the level of compensation necessary to attract and retain executive talent; (d)&nbsp;financial performance of other real estate investment trusts and its peer group relative to market
condition; and (e)&nbsp;from time to time, the Compensation Committee may seek the advice of an independent compensation consultant in assessing its overall compensation philosophy. The Compensation
Committee assigns no specific weight to any of the factors discussed above in establishing executive compensation. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Base Salaries  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Base salaries are reviewed and adjusted by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that the base salaries are
established at levels considered appropriate in light of responsibilities and duties of the executive officers as well as at levels competitive to amounts paid to executive officers of its peer group.
In determining an individual executive's actual base salary, the Compensation Committee also considers other factors, which may include the executive's past performance and contributions to our
success. Base annual compensation for Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis in 2005 and as of January&nbsp;1, 2006 was $400,000. Base annual compensation for Ms.&nbsp;Simpson was $300,000 through
October&nbsp;31, 2005 and $350,000 thereafter and for 2006. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis is compensated pursuant to an employment agreement entered into on June&nbsp;30, 1998 and amended March&nbsp;26, 1999 and
June&nbsp;30, 2000. The agreement is described under "Employment Agreements" on page&nbsp;12, and extends every March&nbsp;26th for four years, subject to earlier termination under certain
circumstances. Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis' employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $400,000; bonuses, if any, are determined by the Compensation Committee. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Bonuses  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bonuses are awarded based on our overall performance and individual performance of each executive officer. The amounts awarded may vary from year to year and may
be awarded to executive officers in other forms such as stock awards in lieu of cash payments. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee recommended that bonuses be paid to executives in part as recognition of their efforts that resulted in the realization of the value of a $21.6&nbsp;million
note receivable that was paid in full during 2005. Bonuses were awarded to Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson in the amounts of $443,000 and $300,000, respectively for fiscal 2005. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have adopted the Restated 1992 Stock Option Plan (or 1992 Plan), the 1998 Equity Participation Plan (or 1998 Plan), the 2004 Stock Option Plan
and the 2004 Restricted Stock Plan under which awards may be granted including stock options (incentive or non-qualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock and
dividend equivalents. We reserved 1,400,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 1992 Plan, 500,000 shares for issuance under the 1998 Plan, 500,000 shares for issuance under the 2004 Stock
Option Plan and 100,000 shares for issuance under the 2004 Restricted Stock Plan. All plans are administered by the Compensation Committee which sets the terms and provisions of the awards granted
under the plans. Incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock and dividend equivalents may only be awarded to officers and other full-time employees
to promote our long-term performance and specifically, to retain and motivate senior management to achieve a sustained increase in stockholder value. Non-qualified stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock and dividend equivalents may be awarded to non-employee directors, officers, other employees, consultants and other key
persons who provide services to us. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the overall compensation package of the executive
officers and determines the awards based on our overall performance and the individual performance of the executive officers. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No
stock options were granted to named executive officers in fiscal 2005. At our December&nbsp;7, 2005 Board meeting, the Compensation Committee granted 30,000 shares of restricted
stock from our 2004 Restricted Stock Plan, each, to Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson. These shares vest ratably over four years on the anniversary date of the grant. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>401(k) Savings Plan  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In January&nbsp;2002 we implemented a 401(k) Savings Plan which is a defined contribution plan covering all of our employees. Each year participants may
contribute up to 15% of pre-tax annual compensation. In 2005 the contributions may not exceed $14,000, or $18,000 if the employee is 50&nbsp;years or older. Our company will match up to
3% of salaries for our three vice presidents and contribute 3% of the individual's salary for staff that open an account. We will not contribute any amount, nor match contributions for our two named
executive officers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code denies deduction for Federal income tax purposes for certain compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to certain executive
officers, unless certain performance, disclosure, stockholder approval and other requirements are met. The Compensation Committee will continue to review the effects of its compensation programs with
regard to Code Section&nbsp;162(m). A substantial portion of the compensation program will be exempted from the $1,000,000 deduction limitation. The Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to
ensure executive compensation is reasonable, performance-based, and consistent with the Company's overall compensation objectives. The
Compensation Committee reserves the right to design programs that recognize a full range of performance criteria important to the Company's success, even where the compensation paid under such
programs may not be deductible. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interpretations
of and changes in the tax laws and other factors beyond the Compensation Committee's control may affect the deductibility of certain compensation payments. The

other compensation objectives. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed
under such Acts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors comprises three independent directors as determined by the Board within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and
operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Audit Committee has direct oversight of all compliance matters having to do with financial matters, Securities and Exchange Commission reporting and auditing. Additionally, it is the
Audit Committee's duty to review annually the Audit Committee Charter and the Company's Code of Business Conduct, Ethics and Corporate Governance for adequacy and recommend any changes to the Board. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Audit Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in its oversight function by monitoring, among other things, the integrity of the Company's financial statements, the
Company's financial reporting process and the independence and performance of the independent auditors. It is the responsibility of executive management of the Company to prepare financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and of the Company's independent auditors to audit those financial statements. The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility
to select, appoint, evaluate, compensate and retain, approve significant non-audit services, confirm the independence of the independent public accountants and, where appropriate, replace
the independent auditors. Additionally, the Audit Committee determines the extent of funding that the Company must provide to it. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's
consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial
statements with management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No.&nbsp;61
(Communication with Audit Committees), as amended. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No.&nbsp;1 (Independence Discussions With
Audit Committees), as amended, from the independent auditors and has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditor's independence from the Company and its management. Further, the
Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided by the independent auditors are compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Further,
the Audit Committee periodically meets with the independent auditors, without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluations of the Company's
internal controls and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the past year, the Audit Committee met with the independent auditors eight times in total and without management present four times. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based
on the reviews and discussions referred to above, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee referred to above and set forth in the
