2007. Those nominated were Messrs.&nbsp;Dimitriadis, Hendrickson, King, Triche
and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson. Mr.&nbsp;Yellen&#146;s term as a director will expire on May&nbsp;15,

committees currently and during the last fiscal year are described below. Each
of the committees operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. All of
the committee charters are available on our website (<i>www.ltcproperties.com</i>)

stockholders after consulting with each director regarding their availability
to help ensure their ability to attend. All Board members at that time attended
our 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Policies on
Director Independence, the Board undertook its annual review of director
independence in 2006. During this review, the Board considered transactions and
relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate
family and our company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including those
reported under <i>&#147;Transactions with Related Parties&#148;</i>
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 our
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 style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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 for Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis
and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson. Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson </font></p>

considered inside directors because of their employment as senior executives of
our company. In determining that each of the other directors is independent,
the Board considered the following relationship, which it determined was
immaterial to the director&#146;s independence. The Board considered that our
company owns Senior Subordinated Notes issued by a company at which Boyd W.
Hendrickson, one of our independent directors, serves as the chief executive
officer. Mr.&nbsp;Hendrickson does not have a direct or indirect material
interest in this transaction and his only interest arises solely from his
position as Chief Executive Officer. The Board determined that this
relationship did not impair the independence of the director.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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 <i>&#147;Stockholder Proposals,&#148;</i> below. Stockholders may submit
recommendations in writing addressed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, LTC Properties,&nbsp;Inc., 31365 Oak Crest Drive, Suite&nbsp;200,
Westlake Village, CA&#160; 91361.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Once a prospective nominee has been identified, by
either the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee&#160; 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&#146;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&#146;s policy is to encourage selection of directors who will
contribute to our overall corporate goals and to the discharge of the Board&#146;s
responsibility to our stockholders. As such, the Board would take into
consideration the prospective candidate&#146;s ability to represent the interests of
our stockholders, the prospective candidate&#146;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 style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On March&nbsp;19, 2007,
the Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, The 2007
Equity Participation Plan of LTC Properties,&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;2007 Equity
Participation Plan&#148; or the &#147;Plan&#148;), under which 600,000 shares of our common
stock (approximately 2.5% of the outstanding shares as of March&nbsp;19, 2007)
will be reserved for issuance. The 2007 Equity Participation Plan will not
become effective until it is approved by our stockholders. The Board is asking
our stockholders to approve the 2007 Equity Participation Plan so that we may
issue to directors, key employees and consultants awards that are linked to the
value of the Company&#146;s common stock. The 2007 Equity Participation Plan will
replace The 2004 Restricted Stock Plan, The 2004 Stock Option Plan, and The
1998 Equity Participation Plan of LTC Properties, Inc (the &#147;1998 Plan&#148;). If the
2007 Equity Participation Plan is not approved, we intend to continue to grant
stock awards under The 2004 Restricted Stock Plan, The 2004 Stock Option Plan,
and the 1998 Plan to the extent we were authorized to grant such awards when
these plans were approved.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The following is a description of the purpose and a
summary of the provisions of the 2007 Equity Participation Plan. The summary is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2007 Equity
Participation Plan, which is attached hereto as Appendix A.</font></p>

2007 Equity Participation Plan permits us to issue stock options, restricted
stock, performance awards, dividend equivalents, deferred stock payments and
stock appreciation rights to independent directors, key employees (including
officers who are directors) and consultants. The 2007 Equity Participation Plan
does not permit the repricing of stock options or the granting of discounted
stock options.</p>

provide an additional incentive for independent directors, key employees and
consultants to whom awards are granted to further the growth, development and
financial success of the Company by personally benefiting through the ownership
of common stock of the Company and/or rights the value of which is tied to the
value of the Company&#146;s common stock or that are linked to the Company&#146;s growth;</p>

enable the Company to obtain and retain the services of independent directors,
key employees and consultants to whom awards are granted by offering them an
opportunity to own common stock of the Company and/or to benefit from rights
the value of which is tied to the value of the Company&#146;s common stock or that
are linked to the Company&#146;s growth, development and financial success; and</p>

of the Plan.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; The Board has the authority and the
discretion under the Plan to grant awards to independent directors and to
administer those awards. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
has the authority and the discretion under the Plan to issue awards to
employees and consultants and to administer those awards. The term &#147;Grantor&#148; as
used in this summary refers to the Board, with respect to awards to independent
directors, and to the Compensation Committee, with respect to awards to key
employees and consultants. Except as expressly limited by the Plan, the
authority of the Grantor includes the authority to determine the timing of
awards, to select the recipients of awards, and to determine the terms of each
award, including, among other things, any modifications of awards, applicable
restrictions, termination and vesting conditions.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of
non-employee directors of the Board.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Number
of Shares Available for Issuance.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; The aggregate
number of such shares which may be issued upon exercise of options or in
connection with other awards under the 2007 Equity Participation Plan shall not
exceed Six Hundred Thousand (600,000). If an award or portion of an award is
cancelled, terminated, expires or is forfeited before it is exercised or
becomes fully vested, the shares of common stock underlying that award or
portion of the award will be available for future grants under the 2007 Equity
Participation Plan. No individual may be granted in any calendar year stock
options, restricted stock, performance awards, deferred stock payments and
independent stock appreciation rights representing more than 200,000 shares of
common stock, or a number of dividend equivalents that exceed the number of
stock appreciation rights, deferred stock awards and performance awards payable
in common stock granted in such calendar year. The Compensation Committee or
the Board may adjust the aggregate 600,000 limit and the individual 200,000
limit if it determines that a dividend, recapitalization, stock split, merger,
consolidation or other similar corporate transaction or event equitably
requires an adjustment.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Types
of Awards.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; The 2007 Equity Participation Plan
provides for the issuance of incentive stock options to our employees and
nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, performance awards, dividend
equivalents, deferred stock payments and stock appreciation rights to our
non-employee directors, employees and consultants. Rights to awards may be
contingent on the satisfaction of performance criteria determined by the
Grantor, including but not limited to net income, performance of investments,
cash flow, earnings per share, return on equity, return on invested capital or
assets, cost reduction or savings, funds from operations, appreciation in the
fair market value of common stock and earnings before interest, depreciation
and/or amortization (&#147;Performance Criteria&#148;).</p>

Options.</font></i></font><i>&nbsp;&nbsp; </i>The
plan provides for two types of stock options: incentive stock options and
non-qualified stock options. The differences between incentive stock options
and non-qualified stock options relate mainly to their tax treatment under the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code (see <i>U.S. Tax
Consequences</i>, below). A stock option gives the holder the right to
receive a designated number of shares of our common stock during the period
that the option is vested upon payment of the exercise price for the stock
options, subject to the terms and conditions that the Grantor, in its sole
discretion, shall determine at the time the award is made. The exercise price
of an option that is granted to a key employee or consultant may not be less
than the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant of the option,
except for incentive stock </p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">options granted to 10%
shareholders, in which case the exercise price must be at least 110% of the
fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock options
must expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, except
for incentive stock options granted to 10% shareholders, in which case
expiration may be no later than the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Options granted to independent directors must have the
following provisions: the exercise price is the fair market value of our stock
on the date of grant; one-third of the options vest on each of the first,
second and third anniversaries of the date of grant; and the options expire on
the earlier of the seventh anniversary of the date of grant or the first
anniversary of the director&#146;s ceasing to be a director.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Unless otherwise specified by the Grantor, all options
become vested as of a change in control (see &#147;<i>Change
in Control</i>,&#148; below).</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Restricted
Stock.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; A restricted stock award is an award of
shares of our common stock for consideration or without consideration, subject
to the terms and conditions that the Grantor, in its sole discretion, shall
determine at the time the award is made. Restricted stock is forfeited to the
Company if the independent director, key employee or consultant to whom it was
awarded terminates service prior to the end of the vesting period determined by
the Grantor, unless such termination follows a change in control (see &#147;<i>Change in Control</i>,&#148; below) or is due to
death or disability. The vesting of restricted stock may be subject to Company
performance, individual performance and satisfaction of one or more of the
Performance Criteria.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Stock
Appreciation Rights.</font></i></font><i>&nbsp;&nbsp; </i>A
stock appreciation right entitles the holder to a payment&#160; in cash or shares of our common stock equal
to the excess of the fair market value of the number of shares of our common
stock underlying the stock appreciation right as of the date the stock appreciation
right is exercised over such fair market value as of the date the stock
appreciation right is granted. A stock appreciation right is subject to the
terms and conditions that the Grantor, in its sole discretion, shall determine
at the time the award is made. The Plan provides for two types of stock
appreciation rights: coupled stock appreciation rights and independent stock
appreciation rights. A coupled stock appreciation right is related to a stock
option, is exercisable only when and to the extent that the stock option and is
exercised when the holder surrenders the related unexercised stock option. An
independent stock appreciation right is not related to an option. Unless the
Grantor determines otherwise, an independent stock appreciation right is
exercisable only while the recipient is an independent director, employee or
consultant.</p>

Awards.</font></i></font><i>&nbsp;&nbsp; </i>A
performance award represents the right to receive a payment in cash or shares
of our common stock subject to specific performance criteria, including one or
more of the Performance Criteria. A performance award is payable only while the
holder is an independent director, employee or consultant, except that the
Grantor may provide that a performance award is payable after termination of
employment following a change in control (see <i>Change
in Control</i>, below).</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dividend
Equivalents.</font></i></font><i>&nbsp;&nbsp; </i>Dividend
equivalents are granted in conjunction with stock appreciation rights, deferred
stock rights or performance awards. A dividend equivalent represents the right
to receive payments in cash or shares of our common stock in the amount of the
dividend paid on a share of our common stock between the date that a stock
appreciation right, deferred stock award or performance award is granted, and
the date such award is exercised, vests or expires. A dividend equivalent is
payable only while the holder is an independent director, employee or
consultant, except that the Grantor may provide that a dividend equivalent is
payable after termination of employment following a change in control (see <i>Change in Control</i>, below).</p>

Payments.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; A stock payment award represents the
right to receive a share of our common stock, subject to the terms and
conditions that the Grantor, in its sole discretion, shall determine at the
time the award is made, which may include one or more of the Performance
Criteria. A stock payment is payable </p>

payable only while the holder is an independent director, employee or

Tax Consequences.</font></i></font><i>&nbsp;&nbsp; </i>The
following brief description, which is based on existing law, sets forth certain
of the federal income tax consequences of the grant of awards under the 2007
Equity Participation Plan. This description may differ from the actual tax
consequences incurred by any individual recipient of an award. Moreover,
existing law is subject to change by new legislation, by new regulations, by
administrative pronouncements and by court decisions or by new or clarified
interpretations or applications of existing laws, regulations, administrative
pronouncements and court decisions. Any such change may affect the federal
income tax consequences described below.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt 20.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Non-Qualified
Stock Options.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; An independent director, key
employee or consultant who is granted a non-qualified stock option will not
recognize taxable income at the time the stock option is granted. In general,
an optionee will be subject to tax for the year of exercise on an amount of
ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on
the date of exercise over the option exercise price, and LTC will receive a
corresponding Federal income tax deduction. Income tax withholding requirements
apply upon exercise. The optionee&#146;s basis in the shares so acquired will be
equal to the option exercise price plus the amount of ordinary income upon
which he or she is taxed. Upon subsequent disposition of the shares, the
optionee will recognize capital gain or loss, long-term or short-term,
depending upon the length of time the shares are held after the stock option is
exercised.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt 20.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Incentive
Stock Options.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; An optionee is not taxed at the
time an incentive stock option is granted. The tax consequences upon exercise
and later disposition generally depend upon whether the optionee was an
employee of LTC or a subsidiary at all times from the date of grant until three
months preceding exercise (one year in the case of disability) and on whether
the optionee holds the shares for more than one year after exercise and two
years after the date of grant of the stock option.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt 20.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If the optionee satisfies both the employment rule&nbsp;and
the holding rule, for regular tax purposes the optionee will not recognize
income upon exercise of the stock option and LTC will not be allowed an income
tax deduction at any time. The difference between the option exercise price and
the amount realized upon disposition of the shares by the optionee will
constitute a long-term capital gain or a long-term capital loss, as the case
may be.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt 20.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If the optionee meets the employment rule&nbsp;but
fails to observe the holding rule&nbsp;(a &#147;disqualifying disposition&#148;), the
optionee generally recognizes as ordinary income, in the year of the
disqualifying disposition, the excess of the fair market value of the shares at
the date of exercise over the option exercise price. Any excess of the sales
price over the fair market value at the date of exercise will be recognized by
the optionee as capital gain (long-term or short-term depending on the length
of time the stock was held after the stock option was exercised). If, however,
the sale price is less than the fair market value at the date of exercise, then
the ordinary income recognized by the optionee is generally limited to the
excess of the sale price over the option exercise price. In both situations,
the tax deduction allowable to LTC is limited to the amount of ordinary income
recognized by the optionee. Under current Internal Revenue Service guidelines,
LTC is not required to withhold any Federal income tax in the event of a
disqualifying disposition.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt 20.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Different consequences may apply for an optionee
subject to the alternative minimum tax.</font></p>

Stock.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; An independent director, key employee or
consultant who is granted restricted stock will not recognize taxable income at
the time the restricted stock is granted. In general, a restricted stockholder
will recognize ordinary taxable income when the stock is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture and LTC will receive a corresponding Federal
income tax deduction. However, a restricted stockholder may file with the IRS a
&#147;section 83(b)&nbsp;election&#148; when he or she </p>

stock, as a result of which he or she will recognize taxable ordinary income
when the stock is granted. Upon subsequent disposition of the shares, the
restricted stockholder will recognize capital gain or loss, long-term or
short-term, depending on the length of time the shares are held after the
shares were recognized as ordinary income.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt 20.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Stock
Appreciation Rights.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; An independent director,
key employee or consultant will not realize taxable income upon the award of
stock appreciation rights. Upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights, any
cash received and the fair market value on the exercise date of any shares of
common stock received would constitute ordinary income to the participant, and
LTC would be entitled to a deduction in the amount of such income at the time
of exercise.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt 20.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Performance
Awards, Dividend Equivalents, Deferred Stock and Stock Payments.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; An
independent director, key employee or consultant normally will not realize
taxable income upon the award of performance awards, dividend equivalent
awards, deferred stock awards or stock payment awards. When the conditions and
requirements established with respect to such an award have been satisfied and
the payment amount determined, any cash and the fair market value of any shares
of our common stock received will constitute ordinary income to the participant
in the year in which paid or when no longer subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture, and LTC will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount.</p>

of Executive Compensation.</font></i></font>&nbsp;&nbsp; Section&nbsp;162(m)&nbsp;of
the Internal Revenue Code disallows a tax deduction to publicly held companies
for compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the four most highly
compensated executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, to the
extent that total compensation exceeds $1 million per covered officer in any
taxable year. The limitation applies only to compensation which is not
considered to be performance-based. Compensation deemed paid by LTC in
connection with disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock option shares or
exercises of non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights granted
under the 2007 Equity Participation Plan qualifies as performance-based
compensation for purposes of Section&nbsp;162(m)&nbsp;if the grants were made
by a committee of &#147;outside directors&#148; as defined under Section&nbsp;162(m). We
anticipate that any compensation deemed paid by us in connection with
disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock option shares or exercises of
non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights will qualify as
performance-based compensation for purposes of Section&nbsp;162(m)&nbsp;and
will not have to be taken into account for purposes of the $1 million
limitation. Accordingly, all compensation deemed paid with respect to those stock
options should be deductible by us without limitation under Section&nbsp;162(m)&nbsp;of
the Internal Revenue Code. Compensation paid by us in connection with
restricted stock, performance awards, dividend equivalent awards, deferred
stock awards or stock payment awards may be taken into account for purposes of
the $1 million limitation unless the individual award is specifically designed
to comply with Section&nbsp;162(m)&#146;s performance-based exemption, or the
independent director, key employee or consultant is not subject to Section&nbsp;162(m)&nbsp;at
the time the Compensation is taken into account for purposes of Section&nbsp;162(m).</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During 2006, the
Compensation Committee comprised Mr.&nbsp;King, Chair, Mr.&nbsp;Hendrickson, Dr.&nbsp;Triche
and Mr.&nbsp;Yellen each of whom is a &#147;non-employee director&#148; within the
meaning of Rule&nbsp;16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and an &#147;outside director&#148; within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;162(m)&nbsp;of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Each
appointed Committee member is 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 three
executive officers; our Executive Chairman, our Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer. Andre C. Dimitriadis, our Executive Chairman
recommends to the Compensation Committee the base salary, annual bonus and
long-term compensation levels for all of our other officers. None of the other
executive officers had any role in determining or recommending the form or
amount of the compensation of the other executive officers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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&#146;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

the individual performance of each executive officer. Our compensation package,
which currently is comprised of base salary, annual bonuses, long-term equity
incentives, such as stock options and restricted stock, and severance protection,
is intended to reinforce management&#146;s commitment to enhancing profitability and
stockholder value.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We seek to achieve our compensation program objectives
through the following key compensation elements:&#160; base salary, annual bonus opportunity,
long-term equity incentive opportunity and severance protection for termination
of the executive officers&#146; employment under certain conditions or change in
control of our company. We believe that each element of our executive
compensation program helps us to achieve one or more of our compensation
objectives as follows:</font></p>

salary&#151;</font></i></font><font style="font-style:italic;"><i style="font-style:normal;">attract,</i></font> motivate, and retain
qualified key executives. We believe the base salary should reflect job
responsibilities, value to our company, individual performance/expertise and
competitiveness of the market for the executive&#146;s services/salary norms for
persons in comparable positions at comparable companies.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Annual

individual performance and effort. We believe the annual bonus should be linked
to individual performance and to our company&#146;s performance as a whole, and
where practicable, should be tied to variables under our management&#146;s control.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Long-term

financial interests with those of our stockholders. We believe that long term
compensation should motivate and reward the creation and preservation of
long-term stockholder value.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Severance

and retain qualified key executives. We believe that providing our executives
with severance and other benefits upon termination of employment or change in
control is consistent with the severance protections offered by similar
companies and is an integral part of total executive compensation.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Base salaries and severance protection are designed
primarily to attract, motivate and retain qualified key executives. These are
the elements of our executive compensation program where the value of the
benefit in any given year is typically not variable. We believe that it is
important to provide executives with predictable benefit amounts that reward

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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 compensation 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 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. In
determining the appropriate levels of compensation to be paid to executive
officers, we do not generally factor in amounts realized from prior
compensation. Additionally, we did not engage in any benchmarking during 2006
of total compensation or any material element of compensation. See &#147;Subsequent
Compensation Actions&#148; below for a description of compensation consultants
retained during 2007.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Base salaries are reviewed and adjusted by the
Compensation Committee on an annual basis. We typically pay base salaries in
cash at regular intervals throughout the year. The Compensation Committee seeks
to ensure that the base salaries are established at levels considered
appropriate in light of responsibilities and duties of our executive officers
as well as at levels competitive to amounts paid to executive officers of other
real estate investment trusts. In determining an individual executive&#146;s actual
base salary, the Compensation Committee also considers other factors, which may
include the executive&#146;s past performance and contributions to our success. During
2006, the Compensation Committee increased the salaries of the three vice
presidents by an annual aggregate total of $20,000. This increase represents a
4.6% increase since the last time the salaries were adjusted which was in 2004.
The Compensation Committee based its decision to increase the vice presidents&#146;
salaries in light of the responsibilities and duties of the vice presidents as
well as amounts paid to vice presidents of other real estate investment trusts
and the overall competitive environment for executives and the level of
compensation necessary to attract and retain executive talent.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our executive officers
each have an employment agreement (see &#147;Description of Employment Agreements&#148;

disclosed in the &#147;Summary Compensation Table&#148; below.</font></p>

and individual performance of each executive officer. We typically pay annual
cash bonuses however bonuses may be awarded in other forms, such as stock
awards, in lieu of cash payments. Bonus amounts awarded may vary from year to
year and are typically paid, or awarded, at the end of the period for which
performance is being rewarded. Annual bonuses for executive officers are

other real estate investment trusts. In determining an individual executive&#146;s
annual bonus, the Compensation Committee also considers other factors, which
may include the executive&#146;s past performance and contributions to our success. None
of our executive officers have a contractual right to receive a fixed actual or
target bonus for any given fiscal year. However Ms.&nbsp;Simpson&#146;s employment
agreement, effective March&nbsp;1, 2007, provides that we have set for her an
annual target bonus equal to 100% of her base salary which shall be awarded at
the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Bonuses were awarded to our
executive officers as disclosed in the &#147;Summary Compensation Table&#148; below for
services provided during 2006.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The bonuses paid to our
executive officers in 2006 are disclosed in the &#147;Summary Compensation Table&#148;
below. In determining the individual bonus amounts the Compensation Committee
considered the responsibilities and duties of our executive officers,
competitive amounts paid to executive officers at other real estate investment
trusts, and the executive&#146;s past performance and contributions to our success.</font></p>

Incentives</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Long-term incentives are designed to align the
executives&#146; financial interests with those of our stockholders. Therefore, our
long-term incentive compensation for our executive officers has historically
taken the form of a mix of restricted stock and stock option awards. The
Compensation Committee does not have a formula for determining the mix of
restricted stock and/or stock options awarded. Awards are made on an individual
basis and are not granted at any pre-determined time during the year. Restricted
stock and stock option awards typically vest ratably over a three to five year
period and are generally subject to the individual executive officer&#146;s
continued employment. The level of long-term incentive compensation is
determined by the Compensation Committee based on an evaluation of competitive
factors in conjunction with total compensation provided to each individual
executive officer. The relevant weight given to each of these factors varies
from individual to individual. Stock price performance has not been a factor in
determining annual compensation because the price of our common stock is
subject to a variety of factors outside of our control. We do not have an exact
formula for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation. Nor do we have a
policy for allocating between long-term and currently paid out compensation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The grant date of an equity award is the date the
Compensation Committee approves the equity award, if approved at a meeting, or
the date the last signature is obtained if approved by unanimous written
consent. The grant date may also be a future date from the date of approval as
specified by the award. In no instances has the grant date been retroactive or
prior to the date the Compensation Committee approved the equity award. For
long-term incentive awards in the form of stock options, the exercise price is
the closing price of our company&#146;s stock as reported by the NYSE on the grant
date. The Compensation Committee has not and does not time the granting of
equity awards with any favorable or unfavorable news released by us.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The following is a summary of our long-term equity
incentive programs in effect through December&nbsp;31, 2006. In 2007 new equity
awards were granted and unvested outstanding equity awards were modified as
further described below under &#147;Subsequent Compensation Actions&#148;.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have adopted the

Benefits Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As discussed in greater detail in the section &#147;Employment
Agreements&#148; below, we have provided our executive officers with severance and
other benefits upon termination of employment or change in control. We believe
that we need to provide our executive officers with severance protections that
are competitive with severance protections offered by companies similar to ours.
We believe the severance protections we have provided our executive officers
are consistent with our compensation objective to attract, motivate and retain
qualified key executives.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We believe that severance should be payable to our
executive officers if their employment is terminated for any reason, except for
a termination for cause or a voluntary resignation. The amount of cash
severance we will pay and other severance benefits we extend to our executive
officers upon such an occurrence is intended to help them avoid financial
hardship during the period of time when the executive officer is likely to be
unemployed and seeking new employment. If the executive officer&#146;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 officer a lump sum severance payment equal to four times base
salary for Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis, two times base salary for Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and
one times base salary for Ms.&nbsp;Shelley-Kessler, Mr.&nbsp;Malin and Mr.&nbsp;Lyew.
Additionally, medical and dental insurance coverage will be extended for up to
18 months at our expense to the executive officer.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We believe that severance should be payable to our
executive officers upon a change of control because a change of control
transaction creates uncertainty regarding the continued employment of the
executive officers. The amount of cash severance we will pay and other
severance benefits we extend to our executive officers upon a change of control
is intended to encourage the executive officers to remain employed by us during
an important time when their prospects for continued employment following the
change of control transaction are often uncertain. Upon a change in control of
our company whether or not the officer&#146;s employment is terminated, we will pay
the officer a severance payment in cash equal to $5,000,000 for Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis,
$3,000,000 for Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and two times base salary for Ms.&nbsp;Shelley-Kessler,
Mr.&nbsp;Malin and Mr.&nbsp;Lyew. Further, upon a change of control all stock
options and/or restricted stock automatically vests. The Compensation Committee
believes that a change of control typically results in a constructive
termination of the executive officers and therefore designed severance
protection effective upon a change of control, rather than actual termination
in the event of a change of control of our company.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If any payment or benefit received by Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis
or Ms.&nbsp;Simpson from us subjects them to excise taxes under the &#147;golden
parachute&#148; rules&nbsp;on payments and benefits, then they will be entitled to
receive an additional amount (a &#147;gross-up payment&#148; to make the officer whole
for these excise taxes and for all taxes on the gross-up payment). Effective March&nbsp;1,
2007, we have agreed to provide Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis, Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and her
spouse with health insurance benefits for life and Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis&#146; two
dependents with health insurance benefits until they reach the age of 22. However,
we may elect to pay Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson a one-time cash
payment of $250,000 each in lieu of continuing health insurance benefits. The

result in continuing health care coverage not being available to these

of pre-tax annual compensation. In 2006 the contributions may not exceed
$15,000, or $20,000 if the employee is 50&nbsp;years or older. We will match up
to 3% of salaries for our vice presidents and contribute 3% of the individual&#146;s
salary for staff that open an account. We will not contribute any amount, nor
match contributions for our executive officers at the senior vice president
level and higher.</font></p>

the Compensation Committee&#146;s policy is to provide benefits to executive
officers that are substantially the same as those offered to other officers of
our company at or above the level of vice president. Except for the
supplemental medical insurance discussed below, the employee benefits programs
in which our executive officers participate (which provide benefits such as
medical, dental and vision benefits coverage, life insurance protection, and
401(k)&nbsp;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&#146;s primary insurance
policy. Amounts reimbursed to our executive officers during 2006 are included
in the &#147;Summary Compensation Table&#148; below. Effective March&nbsp;1, 2007, we
have agreed to provide Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis, Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and her spouse

Consultants, LLC (or Buck) to review and identify our appropriate peer group
companies, to obtain and evaluate current executive compensation data for these
peer group companies, to assess marketplace pay levels, and to assist us in
determining the appropriate compensation levels for senior executive officers
for 2007. While we review the compensation data for our peer group companies in
determining the reasonableness of our executive officers compensation, we do
not set compensation levels by reference to any certain percentile or benchmark
within our peer group companies. Consistent with our compensation philosophies
described above, our goal is to provide each executive officer with a current
executive compensation program that is market-derived and market-driven in
light of the compensation paid to comparable executives at our peer group
companies. Buck did not provide any consulting services to us during 2006. Buck
reported directly to the Compensation Committee and no individual executive

Buck&#146;s recommendations effective March&nbsp;1, 2007.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Effective March&nbsp;1, 2007, the Compensation
Committee granted Ms.&nbsp;Simpson 40,000 shares of restricted stock and
modified the vesting for a total of 27,120 shares of unvested restricted stock
previously awarded under two separate award grants. The 40,000 shares vest
ratably over three years on the anniversary of the effective grant date. Vesting
for the 27,120 shares was changed to vest ratably over three years on the
anniversary date of the effective modification date, March&nbsp;1, 2007. This
change to the vesting dates was not material as the vesting for the two grants
that were modified was also over three years. The change merely aligned all the
vesting dates for the unvested restricted stock awarded to Ms.&nbsp;Simpson. The
Compensation Committee based its decision to award Ms.&nbsp;Simpson in her new
role as Chief Executive Officer with 40,000 shares of restricted stock on the
results, findings and recommendations of Buck who determined that this award
was consistent and competitive in the current market environment.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Also effective March&nbsp;1, 2007, the Compensation
Committee modified the vesting for a total of 54,960 shares of unvested
restricted stock previously awarded to Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis under two separate
award grants. The award modification accelerated the vesting so that the 54,960
shares vest ratably over ten months on the last day of every month beginning on
March&nbsp;31, 2007. Prior to the modification the shares were vesting in two
traunches ratably over two and three years, respectively. The modification made
to the vesting of Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis&#146; restricted stock was intended to
compensate him in his new role as Executive Chairman, a position he accepted
effective March&nbsp;1, 2007.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Effective March&nbsp;1,
2007, Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis as Executive Chairman of the Board, has been
provided with a four-year &#147;ever-green&#148; employment contract. Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis&#146;
current base salary is $240,000 and he devotes two full business days per week
to the business and affairs of our company. Effective March&nbsp;1, </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">2007, Ms.&nbsp;Simpson,
as Chief Executive Officer and President, has been provided with a three-year &#147;ever-green&#148;
employment contract with a base salary of $400,000 and a target bonus of 100%
of her base salary. Additionally, effective March&nbsp;1, 2007, we agreed to
provide Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis, Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and her spouse with health
insurance benefits for life and Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis&#146; two dependents with
health insurance benefits until they reach the age of 22. However, we may elect
to pay Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson a one-time cash payment of
$250,000 each in lieu of continuing health insurance benefits. Effective March&nbsp;1,
2007 Ms.&nbsp;Shelley-Kessler, as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, has been provided with a one-year &#147;ever-green&#148; employment contract
with a base salary of $190,000. The Compensation Committee based its salary
level decisions on the results, findings and recommendations of Buck who
determined that these salary levels were consistent and competitive in the
current market environment. The Compensation Committee believes that the
compensation packages it provides to our executive officers meet our
compensation policy objectives of attracting, motivating, and retaining
qualified key executives, reflecting our company&#146;s performance as a whole and
the executive&#146;s individual performance and effort as well as aligning our
executives&#146; financial interest with those of our stockholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have provided our named
executive officers with employment contracts that provide certain benefits
depending on the circumstances surrounding their termination of employment with
us. In addition to the benefits described below, upon termination of employment
with us, the named executive officer is generally entitled to amounts or
benefits earned or accrued during the term of employment, including earned but
unpaid salary. We have calculated the amount of any potential payments as if
the termination or change of control occurred on December&nbsp;31, 2006 and
therefore used the closing price of our common stock as reported by the NYSE on
December&nbsp;29, 2006, the last trading day of 2006.</font></p>

Agreements&#148; the employment agreements we have with our named executive officers
provide for payments of severance and other benefits upon termination of
employment. If the named executive officer&#146;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 officer
a lump sum severance payment equal to four times base salary for Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis,
two times base salary for Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and one times base salary for Ms.&nbsp;Shelley-Kessler,
Mr.&nbsp;Malin and Mr.&nbsp;Lyew. Additionally, medical and dental insurance
coverage will be extended for up to 18 months, at our expense, to the executive
officer. Further, effective March&nbsp;1, 2007, we have agreed to provide Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis,
Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and her spouse with health insurance benefits for life and Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis&#146;
two dependents with health insurance benefits until they reach the age of 22. However,
we may elect to pay Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson a one-time cash
payment of $250,000 each in lieu of continuing health insurance benefits. If
any payment or benefit received by Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis or Ms.&nbsp;Simpson
from us subjects them to excise taxes under the &#147;golden parachute&#148; rules&nbsp;on
payments and benefits, then they will be entitled to receive an additional
amount (a &#147;gross-up payment&#148; to make the officer whole for these excise taxes
and for all taxes on the gross-up payment).</font></p>

Compensation Plan (or Deferred Plan) whereby we made contributions to the plan
for each named executive officer. This Deferred Plan was frozen in 2002 and no
contributions have been made on behalf of any employee 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, 2006 the Deferred
Plan held 24,148, 922 and 922 shares of our common stock on behalf of Ms.&nbsp;Simpson,
Ms.&nbsp;Shelley-Kessler and Mr.&nbsp;Lyew, respectively. Mr.&nbsp;Malin does
not hold any shares in the Deferred Plan.</p>

named executive officer&#146;s employment is terminated upon a change in control of
our company then the executive shall not be given the opportunity to
participate in any medical or dental insurance coverage. However, if the named
executive officer&#146;s employment is terminated for any reason, except for a
termination for cause or a voluntary resignation without a good reason, medical
and dental insurance coverage will be extended for up to 18 months, at our
expense, to the named executive officer. Estimates provided in this table are
based on amounts we paid for medical and dental insurance for our named
executive officers in 2006. As described above under &#147;Description of Employment
Agreements&#148;, effective March&nbsp;1, 2007, we agreed to provide Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis,
Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and her spouse with health insurance benefits for life and Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis&#146;
two dependents with health insurance benefits until they reach the age of 22. However,
we may elect to pay Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson a one-time cash
payment of $250,000 each in lieu of continuing health insurance benefits.</p>

Ms.&nbsp;Simpson and her spouse with health insurance benefits for life and Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis&#146;

we may elect to pay Mr.&nbsp;Dimitriadis and Ms.&nbsp;Simpson a one-time cash
payment of $250,000 each in lieu of continuing health insurance benefits.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Compensation for our Board
of Directors typically consists of quarterly board fees, fees for attending
meetings whether in-person or by telephone, and periodic equity awards. The
following table presents information regarding the compensation we paid during
2006 to members of our Board of Directors who are not also our employees. Two
members of our Board of Directors are also employed by us and therefore are not
entitled to receive additional compensation for their services as directors.
Compensation information related to our two employee directors is included in
the previous discussion and tables related to executive compensation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In fiscal 2006, each
non-employee director received a fee of $6,250 per quarter, $3,000 for
participation in special committee projects, and $750 for attendance in person
or telephonically at each meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee
meeting held on a day on which the Board of Directors did not meet. In
addition, we reimbursed non-employee directors for travel expenses incurred in
connection with their duties as our directors.</font></p>

time. No stock options or shares of restricted stock were granted to non-employee
directors in 2006. The following table presents the number of outstanding and

the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve non-audit
services to be performed by Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP, provided that the Chair
shall report any decision to pre-approve such non-audit services to the full
Audit Committee at its next regular meeting.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In accordance with Section&nbsp;III, Item 6 of the
Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee reviewed the effectiveness of
Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP&#146;s audit effort, including approval of the scope of,
and fees charged in connection with, the annual audit, quarterly reviews and
any non-audit services provided. The Audit Committee concluded that the
provision of the non-audit services by Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP was
compatible with the maintenance of that firm&#146;s independence in the conduct of
its auditing functions.</font></p>

COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS<a name="ReportOfTheAuditCommitteeOfTheBoa_050122"></a></font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Audit Committee Report of LTC Properties,&nbsp;Inc.
(or company) 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, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, 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 style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is
comprised of 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 style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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&#146;s
duty to review annually the Audit Committee Charter and the company&#146;s Code of
Business Conduct, Ethics and Corporate Governance for adequacy and recommend
any changes to the Board.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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&#146;s financial statements, the company&#146;s financial
reporting process and the independence and performance of the independent
registered public accounting firm. 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&#146;s independent
registered public accounting firm 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 registered public accounting firm
and, where appropriate, replace the independent registered public accounting
firm. Additionally, the Audit Committee determines the extent of funding that
the company must provide to it.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Management is responsible for the company&#146;s internal
controls and the financial reporting process. The independent registered public
accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the
company&#146;s consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States and to issue a report thereon.
The Audit Committee&#146;s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held
discussions with management and Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP, the company&#146;s
independent registered public accounting firm. Management represented to the
Audit Committee that the company&#146;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 Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP. The Audit Committee
discussed with Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP matters required to be discussed by
Statement on Auditing Standards No.&nbsp;61 (Communication with Audit
Committees), as amended.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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 Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP and has discussed with Ernst&nbsp;&amp;
Young LLP its independence from the company and its management. Further, the
Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided by Ernst&nbsp;&amp;
Young LLP are compatible with maintaining its independence.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Further, the Audit Committee periodically meets with
Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP, without management present, to discuss the results
of their examinations, the evaluations of the company&#146;s internal controls and
the overall quality of the company&#146;s financial reporting.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During the past year, the Audit Committee met with
Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP eight times in total and without management present
four times.</font></p>

Value as of the date the Award is granted. A Stock Appreciation Right may be

subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the
Administrator shall impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may, in its
discretion and on such terms as it deems appropriate, require as a condition of
the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right to an Employee, Independent Director or
consultant that the Employee, Independent Director or consultant surrender for
cancellation some or all of the unexercised Options, awards of Restricted Stock
or Deferred Stock, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend
Equivalents or Stock Payments, or other rights which have been previously
granted to him/her under the Plan or otherwise. A Stock Appreciation Right, the
grant of which is conditioned upon such surrender, may have an exercise price
lower (or higher) than the exercise price of the surrendered Option or other
award, may cover the same (or a lesser or greater) number of shares as such
surrendered Option or other award, may contain such other terms as the
Administrator deems appropriate, and shall be exercisable in accordance with
its terms, without regard to the number of shares, price, exercise period or
