LLC PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.     General

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

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit and in the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled partnerships.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures in the accompanying financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation as proscribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.  The Company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  As such, the Company is not taxed on its income that is distributed to its stockholders.

2.     Real Estate Investments

Owned Properties.  At September 30, 2002, the Company owned 64 skilled nursing facilities with a total of 7,374 beds, 89 assisted living facilities with 4,222 units and one school located in 24 states.  During the third quarter of 2002, the Company sold, in three separate transactions, two skilled nursing facilities in Texas and one skilled nursing facility in Arizona for a total combined gain of $819,000.  The Company received approximately $2,538,000 in cash from these transactions.  All of the cash received from these transactions was used to repay debt.  Additionally, $930,000 of commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit were reduced as a result of these sales.  During the second quarter of 2002, the Company sold five skilled nursing facilities in Alabama for approximately $9,824,000 in cash, a 10-year $3,550,000 note with a face rate of 7.0% which the Company discounted to $2,631,000 for an effective rate of 13.0% and a reduction of $10,247,000 in mortgage debt due to a REMIC pool originated by the Company.  The Company recognized a gain of approximately $13,192,000.  Net proceeds from the sale were used to meet debt maturities in the third quarter of 2002.  Annual rental revenue to the Company from these five properties was approximately $2,100,000 before net interest expense of approximately $800,000.  In the first quarter of 2002, the Company sold, in one transaction, two skilled nursing facilities in Illinois for approximately $2,100,000 in cash and used the proceeds and available cash to pay off $2,562,000 in mortgage debt due to REMIC pools originated by the Company.  The Company recognized a loss of approximately $72,000 from this sale.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company purchased one skilled nursing facility in Grapevine, Texas for a total cost of $1,862,000.  The Company paid approximately $505,000 in cash and

assumed $1,357,000 in mortgage debt due to a REMIC pool originated by the Company.  This facility was leased to CLC Healthcare, Inc.

During the third quarter of 2002, one mortgage loan on a closed skilled nursing facility in Florida was reclassified to an owned property as a result of a foreclosure sale.  The Company is currently under contract to sell this facility for approximately $1,925,000, however no assurances can be given that this sale will close.  During the first quarter of 2002, one mortgage loan on a skilled nursing facility in Florida was reclassified to an owned property as a result of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction.  A new operator began operating this facility in May 2002.

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which was required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  FASB No. 144 on asset impairment supercedes FASB No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”, and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to disposed of.  Subsequent to January 1, 2002, and in accordance with FASB No. 144, properties held for sale on the balance sheet includes only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes that it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year.  Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  No depreciation expense is recognized on properties held for sale once they have been classified as such.  In accordance with the implementation provisions of  FASB No. 144, the operating results of real estate assets designated as held for sale subsequent to January 1, 2002 are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.  In addition, all gains and losses from real estate sold are also included in discontinued operations.

Set forth in the table below are the components of the net loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 (unaudited, in thousands):

Mortgage Loans.  At September 30, 2002 the Company had 39 mortgage loans secured by first mortgages on 36 skilled nursing facilities with a total of 4,095 beds and eight assisted living facilities with a total of  369 units located in 20 states.  At September 30, 2002, the mortgage loans had interest rates ranging from 9.3% to 13.7% and maturities ranging from 2003 to 2018.  In addition, the loans contain certain guarantees, provide for certain facility fees and generally have 25-year amortization schedules.  The majority of the mortgage loans provide for annual increases in the interest rate based upon a specified increase of 10 to 25 basis points.

During the third quarter of 2002 the Company sold, to a private bank, a non-recourse senior participation interest in 22 of the Company’s first mortgages with a total balance outstanding of approximately $58,627,000.  The sales agreement provides that the private bank will receive 9.25% per annum interest and all principal payments from these mortgages until the senior participation is retired.  There is no specific principal maturity date for the senior participation other than the principal maturity dates of the underlying

mortgages.  The Company will continue to receive interest from these mortgages above the 9.25% paid to the private bank and will resume collecting principal once the senior participation is repaid in full.  The weighted average interest rate of these mortgages is approximately 11.6%.  The Company sold the senior participation interest for $30,000,000 and received $29,750,000 in net proceeds, which it used to reduce commitments and amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit.  This transaction does not meet all of the requirements of FASB No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and as such, the Company has recorded this transaction as a secured borrowing rather than a sale.

REMIC Certificates.  As of September 30, 2002, the outstanding certificate principal balance and the weighted average pass-through rate for the senior REMIC Certificates (all held by outside third parties) was $224,620,000 and 7.33%.  As of September 30, 2002, the carrying value of the subordinated REMIC Certificates held by the Company was $68,545,000.  The effective yield on the subordinated REMIC Certificates held by the Company, based on expected future cash flows discounted to give effect to potential risks associated with prepayments and unanticipated credit losses was 17.28% at September 30, 2002.

Interest only certificates and certificates with an investment rating of “BB” or higher are classified as available-for-sale and unrated certificates and certificates with an investment rating of “B” or lower are classified as held-to-maturity.  As of September 30, 2002, available-for-sale certificates were recorded at their fair value of approximately $15,664,000.  An unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale certificates of $28,000 was included in comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  An unrealized holding loss of $332,000 was included in comprehensive loss for the same period in 2001.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, $276,000 of unrealized losses recognized in prior years on available-for-sale certificates were reclassed to impairment charge.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized a total impairment charge (including the $276,000 reclass for comprehensive income) of $2,497,000 on REMIC Certificates held by the Company.

At September 30, 2002 held-to-maturity certificates had a book value of $52,881,000 and a fair value of $35,183,000.  As of September 30, 2002, the effective yield on the available-for-sale certificates and the held-to-maturity certificates, based on expected future cash flows discounted to give effect to potential risks associated with prepayments and unanticipated credit losses, was 34.70% and 11.94%, respectively.

3.     Impairment Charge

The Company periodically performs an evaluation of its real estate investment portfolio.  Impairment losses are recorded when events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset is impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset are less than its carrying amount.  Management assesses the impairment of properties individually, or in groups of properties if under a master lease agreement, and impairment losses are calculated as the excess of the carrying amount of the real estate over its fair value less cost to sell as per FASB No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  In determining fair value, the Company uses current appraisals or other third party opinions of value and other estimates of fair value such as estimated undiscounted future cash flows.  During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $925,000.  Of this charge, $710,000 related to a valuation adjustment on one skilled nursing facility and $215,000 related to a valuation adjustment of the subordinated REMIC Certificates held by the Company.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5,807,000.  Of this charge, $1,600,000 related to loans on two skilled nursing facilities,

(Unaudited)

$1,710,000 related to valuation adjustments on two skilled nursing facilities and $2,497,000 related to a valuation adjustment of the subordinated REMIC Certificates held by the Company.  Relative to the $215,000 and $2,497,000 charge and as more fully described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Company’s 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2001, to the extent there are defaults, unrecoverable losses or prepayments of principal on the underlying mortgages resulting in reduced cash flows, the subordinated REMIC Certificates held by the Company would bear the first risk of loss. During management’s periodic evaluation of the realizability of expected future cash flows from the mortgages underlying the Company’s REMIC Certificates, there were indications that a portion of the underlying mortgage collateral would not be realized by the REMIC Trust.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a permanent impairment in current period earnings related to the valuation adjustment of the subordinated REMIC Certificates held by the Company.

The Company believes it has recorded valuation adjustments on all assets for which there are permanent impairments.  However, the long-term care industry has experienced significant adverse changes which have resulted in continued operating losses by certain of the Company’s operators and in some instances the filing by certain operators for bankruptcy protection.  Thus, the Company cannot predict what, if any, impairment charge may be needed in the future.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $0 and $22,866,000 ($4,037,000 of which is included in net loss from discontinued operations as required by FASB No. 144 and is more fully explained in Note 2 — Real Estate Investments).  The impairment charges consisted of the following: a $11,537,000 valuation adjustment on 10 skilled nursing facilities and a $9,829,000 valuation adjustment on the Company’s investment in the convertible subordinated debentures of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (“ALC”) and a $1,500,000 write down of a note receivable.

4.     CLC Healthcare, Inc.

As of September 30, 2002, 23 skilled nursing facilities with 2,617 beds and a gross carrying value of $57,916,000 or 10.2% of the Company’s direct real estate investment portfolio were operated by CLC Healthcare, Inc. (“CLC”).  These facilities are leased to CLC under individual six-year leases that provide for total rents of $3,000,000; $4,000,000; $4,750,000; $5,350,000; $5,900,000 and $6,500,000 respectively, in years 2002 through 2007.  The leases contain two five-year renewal options with increases of 2% annually.  These leases have cross default provisions and a provision for acceleration should there be a change of control of CLC, as defined in the leases.  Additionally, CLC owns and operates two skilled nursing facilities in New Mexico, discussed more fully below, that are financed with mortgage loans payable to a REMIC pool originated by the Company.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company was due rental income of approximately $825,000 and $2,100,000, respectively, from CLC as compared to $720,000 and $2,334,000 during the same periods in 2001.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company classified the rents due from CLC as non-accrual rents. The Company has waived default under the lease provisions through November 30, 2002 as to unpaid rents.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company sold a wholly owned subsidiary, LTC-Fort Tucum, Inc. to CLC for a $500,000 note bearing no interest for one year and thereafter interest at 8% annually for two years.  CLC has certain rights to extend the note at its maturity.  The $500,000 note is a full recourse obligation of LTC-Fort Tucum, Inc. and is secured by all the assets owned now or in the future by LTC-Fort Tucum, Inc. and contains a provision for acceleration should there be a change of control of LTC-Fort Tucum, Inc.  LTC-Fort Tucum, now owned by CLC, has acquired two skilled

nursing facilities in New Mexico, previously financed with debt from a REMIC pool originated by the Company.  CLC began operating the two facilities during the second quarter of 2002.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company sold all 180,000 shares of CLC common stock it owned at December 31, 2000.  The shares were sold to CLC for $225,000, not including selling commissions, which was the fair market value as of the date of sale.  The Company recognized a loss of $386,000 on the sale of these shares.  The Company sold these shares because the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999 (“Act”) provides that, subject to certain exceptions for taxable years commencing after December 31, 2000, a REIT may not own more than 10% of the total value of the securities of any corporation.  Without qualifying as safe harbor debt, securities under the Act include the line of credit provided by the Company to CLC.  In order to qualify as safe harbor debt and retain its REIT status, the Company was required to hold only such debt or the shares. 

Effective October 1, 2002, the Company and CLC amended the secured line of credit extended by the Company to CLC.  The amendment reduced the line from $20,000,000 to $10,000,000 and added certain restrictions as to the use of funds drawn under the agreement.  The line of credit continues to bear interest at 10%, mature on April 1, 2008 and contains a provision for acceleration should there be a change of control of CLC.  In consideration of this amendment, the Company waived until November 30, 2002, defaults under its leases with CLC for non-payment of rent.  The independent Board members of each company’s board approved this amendment.  At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, there was $5,341,000 and $5,342,000, respectively, outstanding under the line of credit.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company advanced CLC $792,000 under the line of credit and CLC repaid $793,000 on the line of credit.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 the Company recorded interest income of $362,000 on the average outstanding principal balance under the line of credit as compared to $0 and $437,000, during the same periods in 2001. 

CLC has advised the Company that it no longer has general and professional liability insurance in Texas and Florida.  CLC no longer operates in Florida; however, it has claims arising from operations prior to its exit from the Florida market.  CLC does provide for a reserve for potential insurance losses based on an estimate of incurred but not reported losses; however, should CLC incur a significant uninsured loss, it may not have the resources to pay the loss.  At this time, CLC has stated that given the current litigation environment and unpredictability of jury trials, the existing claims could develop in a way which may present a material adverse affect on CLC’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

CLC further stated that its insurance for those claims for which insurance exists and CLC’s allowance for general and professional liability risk in an amount determined for reported claims and the incurred but not reported claims, at this time, in CLC’s management’s belief, do not present a material adverse affect on CLC’s financial position or results of operations, however, such claims could have a material adverse effect on liquidity.

Additionally, the Company holds a Promissory Note (“Note”) issued by Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CLC, in the face amount of $7,000,000.  The Note was received in December 2001 in exchange for the Company’s right to receive 1,238,076 shares of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (“ALC”) common stock distributed concurrently with ALC’s emergence from bankruptcy on December 31, 2001.  The Note is for a term of five years and bears interest at 5.0% compounded annually and accruing to the principal balance plus interest at 2.0% on the original principal of $7,000,000 payable in cash annually.  The Company did not accrue any interest income on the Note during the first nine months of 2002.  The Note is a full recourse obligation of Holdings and is secured by

all the assets owned now or in the future by Holdings and contains a provision for acceleration should there be a change of control of Holdings or CLC.  At September 30, 2002 Holdings owned 1,452,794 shares of ALC common stock with a fair market value based on the closing price of the stock on September 30, 2002 of $4,431,000 and $1,382,000 face value of ALC Senior Subordinated Debentures and $544,000 face value of Junior Subordinated Debentures.  At September 30, 2002, the book value of the Note was $3,095,000 which represented the fair market value of the 1,238,076 shares acquired by Holdings on December 31, 2001.

In February 2002, the independent members of CLC’s Board of Directors approved, in principle, an Administrative Services Agreement between CLC and the Company.  However the independent members of CLC’s Board of directors have not as yet been able to confer with an independent advisor on this Agreement.  As a result, the Company and CLC have agreed to defer until January 1, 2003, the effective date of the Agreement.  It is still anticipated that this agreement would terminate on June 30, 2007, and provide that during its term the Company will provide office space and certain management and administrative services to CLC for a fee of approximately $1,000,000 per year beginning as of  January 1, 2003.  Additionally, the Company has an indemnification agreement covering four of the Company’s officers who also serve as officers of CLC and one current CLC outside director.

5.     Debt Obligations

At September 30, 2002, $74,390,000 was outstanding under the Company’s Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit (the “Secured Revolving Credit”) and commitments were $75,000,000.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, pricing under the Secured Revolving Credit ranged from LIBOR plus 2.50% to LIBOR plus 3.00% and LIBOR plus 2.25% LIBOR plus 3.00%, respectively.  At September 30, 2002, the Company’s weighted average interest rate was 4.33%.

In accordance with provisions of the Secured Revolving Credit, on October 2, 2002, the Company paid a fee of $3,000,000 (4% of the commitment balance of $75,000,000) to extend the Secured Revolving Credit to October 2, 2004.  This fee is being amortized over the remaining term of the Secured Revolving Credit as additional interest expense.

In addition, on October 2, 2002, the Company issued 1,500,000 book value units (“BVUs”) to the lenders under the Secured Revolving Credit.  The number of BVUs issued represented 20,000 BVUs for each $1,000,000 of outstanding commitment ($75,000,000) as October 2, 2002.  The BVUs entitle the lenders to participate in any increase in the Company’s book value per common share (measured at September 30, 2004) in excess of the Company’s book value per common share at September 30, 2000, less $2.00 per share from such excess.  The Company’s book value per common share at  September 30, 2000 was $8.92, thus the book value per common share at September 30, 2004 would have to be in excess of $10.92 in order for the Company to be obligated to pay any money to the lenders for their BVUs.  At September 30, 2002, the Company’s book value per common share was $10.13.  The Company is obligated to pay the lenders any amounts due them relating to the BVUs as of September 30, 2004, even if the Company repays in full and terminates the Secured Revolving Credit prior to its maturity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 the Company paid off $24,416,000 in mortgage notes payable to REMIC pools originated by the Company.  Approximately $13,354,000 of the pay-offs related to property sales as discussed in Note 2 – Real Estate Investments and $11,062,000 related to five loans that were repaid prior to maturity.

At maturity, January 2, 2002, the Company redeemed $2,408,000 of convertible subordinated debentures. 

6.     Senior Mortgage Participation Payable

On August 1, 2002, the Company sold, to a private bank, a non-recourse senior participation interest in 22 of the Company’s first mortgages with a total balance outstanding of approximately $58,627,000.  The sales agreement provides that the private bank will receive 9.25% per annum interest and all principal payments from these mortgages until the senior participation is retired.  There is no specific principal maturity date for the senior participation other than the principal maturity dates of the underlying mortgages.  The Company will continue to receive interest from these mortgages above the 9.25% paid to the private bank and will resume collecting principal once the senior participation is repaid in full.  The weighted average interest rate of these mortgages is approximately 11.6%.  The Company sold the senior participation interest for $30,000,000 and received $29,750,000 in net proceeds, which it used to reduce commitments and amounts outstanding under the Secured Revolving Credit.  This transaction does not meet all of the requirements of FASB No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and as such, the Company has recorded this transaction as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale.

7.     Stockholders’ Equity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company declared and paid cash dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock totaling $5,464,000, $3,362,000 and $3,273,000 ($818,000 of which was accrued at December 31, 2001), respectively.  During the first three quarters of 2002 the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.10 per share on its common stock totaling $5,529,000.

Subsequent to September 30, 2002 the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share on its common stock payable on December 31, 2002 to stockholders of record on December 21, 2002.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company granted 30,000 stock options at an exercise price of $7.63.  The options vest over five years and expire the earlier of seven years from the date of vesting and ten years from the date of grant.

On September 19, 2002, the Company announced a tender offer to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $8.50 per share.  On October 18, 2002, the Company announced the termination of the tender offer because after discussions with various operators it became clear that as a result of the failure of Congress to extend certain Medicare skilled nursing facility “add-ons” that expired October 1, 2002, most operators of skilled nursing facilities may experience a deterioration in their financial condition.  The Company cannot, at this time, determine the total impact of the continuing Medicare payment reductions on all of its leasees and mortgagors who have exposure to the Medicare program and as a result cannot evaluate the potential impact on the Company’s revenues.

8.     Major Operators

At September 30, 2002, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Sun”) operated 14 facilities (13 leases and one loan to a party who in turn leased the facility to Sun) with 1,714 beds/units representing approximately 11.6%, or $65,965,000, of the Company’s “direct real estate investment portfolio” (properties that the Company owns or on which the Company holds promissory notes, secured by first mortgages).  Additionally, at September 30, 2002 Sun operated nine skilled nursing facilities securing seven mortgage

12

loans payable to REMIC pools originated by the Company.  During 1999, Sun filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and operated its business as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court until it emerged from bankruptcy in February 2002.  Concurrently, 13 leases the Company had directly with Sun were affirmed; additionally the lease related to the loan was affirmed. 

In Sun’s June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q filing, Sun estimated that if the Medicare “add-ons” expired, Sun’s estimated Medicare revenues would decrease by approximately $32,400,000 for the period of October 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003.  The Company believes that a material amount of this decrease, if it were to happen, would also reduce Sun’s operating income unless Sun was able to reduce costs by a commensurate amount.  Sun also disclosed in its June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q that it was not in compliance with certain financial covenants contained in its loan agreements.  Sun obtained certain waivers but disclosed that if it were unable to either enter into an amendment of the financial covenants or to fulfill the existing covenants and obtain a permanent waiver of the default with respect to the Revolving Loan Agreement for the period ending June 30, 2002 prior to September 30, 2002 and June 29, 2003 with respect to the Term Loan Agreement, then Sun would be in default under the loan agreements.  Sun disclosed that it had initiated negotiations with the lenders to revise the covenants but gave no assurances that it would be able to amend the covenants.  If it were unable to do so, Sun disclosed that the lenders could exercise their remedies including but not limited to declaring amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and denying Sun the right to further borrowings under the revolving loan agreement.

In addition, Sun disclosed it was in default of two financial covenants contained in leases of 38 skilled nursing facilities.  None of these leases are with the Company.  Sun stated that it had instituted negotiations with the landlord, however, if it was unable to amend the covenants it would be likely that Sun would continue to be in default and the landlord could exercise remedies including the potential termination of the leases which would result in the loss of Sun’s ability to operate the facilities and the landlord could assess leasehold damages against Sun. 

As of the filing of this Form 10-Q by the Company, the Company does not have access to any subsequent disclosure from Sun regarding these issues.

At September 30, 2002, ALC operated 37 assisted living facilities with 1,434 units representing approximately 15.6%, or $88,105,000, of the Company’s direct real estate investment portfolio.  ALC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in October 2001 and emerged from bankruptcy on December 31, 2001.  The Company also has an investment in ALC’s senior and junior subordinated debentures with a net book value of $8,844,000 at September 30, 2002.  Additionally, as more fully described in Note 4 – CLC Healthcare, Inc., the Company has a $7,000,000 note (recorded at a value of $3,095,000) from CLC that is secured by 1,452,794 shares of ALC common stock and $1,926,000 face value ALC senior and junior debentures. 

At September 30, 2002, Alterra Healthcare Corporation (“Alterra”) operated 35 assisted living facilities with 1,416 units representing 14.9%, or $84,194,000 of the Company’s direct real estate investment portfolio.  Alterra has announced that it has engaged financial advisors to assist Alterra in a restructuring of its debt and equity. 

In Alterra’s June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q filing, Alterra disclosed that it was not in compliance with certain debt covenants and lease agreements though it had negotiated limited time waivers with certain lenders and lessors.  Alterra disclosed that it had $5,600,000 of delinquent outstanding scheduled debt service

relating to certain mortgages and that it had received written notice of acceleration from lenders with respect to indebtedness aggregating $149,100,000. In addition indebtedness of approximately $96,900,000 was due and past due as of June 30, 2002.  As a result of several cross default provisions, certain lenders and lessors had taken various actions such as applying deposits and reserve funds against amounts owed.  Alterra also disclosed it was in litigation with a former lessor with respect to a damage claim associated with the early termination of 11 leases.  Alterra’s disclosure further describes other obligations and agreements under which it is in default and discussions with lenders and lessors.

Alterra disclosed that it would require significant additional capital resources in order to fund its operations and restructuring plan.  Alterra’s disclosure further describes actions it is taking to restructure its business including negotiations with various REITs to amend certain covenants and terms.

As of the filing of this Form 10-Q by the Company, the Company does not have access to any subsequent disclosure from Alterra regarding these issues.

At this time the Company has not called a default of any provisions of its leases with Alterra and is negotiating four new master leases with Alterra that would cover the 35 facilities currently leased to Alterra.

The Company cannot, at this time predict or quantify what, if any, impact any ultimate restructuring could have on the Company.  As of November 2002, Alterra was current on all rent due the Company.

At September 30, 2002, Sunwest Management, Inc. (“Sunwest”) operated 7 assisted living facilities with 693 units representing 10.9%, or $61,584,000, of the Company’s direct real estate investment portfolio.

CLC Healthcare, Inc. (See Note 4 — CLC Healthcare, Inc.)

All of these companies, except Sunwest, are publicly traded companies, and as such are subject to the filing requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company’s financial position and its ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by further financial difficulties experienced by ALC, Alterra, CLC and Sun, or financial difficulties experienced by Sunwest, or any of the Company’s other major operators, including additional bankruptcies, inability to emerge from bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in business of any such operator, or in the event any such operator does not renew and/or extend its relationship with the Company or the Company’s borrowers when it expires.

9.     Contingencies

It is the Company’s policy to require, all borrowers of funds from the Company and lessees of any of the Company’s properties to secure comprehensive property and general and professional liability insurance that covers the Company, as well as the borrower and/or lessee.  Even though that is the policy of the Company, certain borrowers and lessees have been unable to obtain general and professional liability insurance because the cost of such insurance has increased substantially and some insurers have stopped offering such insurance for long term care facilities.  Additionally, insurance companies have filed for bankruptcy protection leaving certain of the Company’s borrowers and/or lessees without coverage for periods that were believed to be covered prior to such bankruptcies.  The unavailability and associated exposure as well as increased cost of such insurance could have a material adverse effect on the lessees and operators, including their ability to make lease or mortgage payments.  Although the Company contends that as a non-possessory landlord it is not generally responsible for what takes place on real estate it does not possess, claims including general and professional liability claims, may still be asserted

against it which may result in costs and exposure for which insurance is not available. Certain risks may be uninsurable, not economically insurable or insurance may not be available and there can be no assurance that the Company, a borrower or lessee will have adequate funds to cover all contingencies. At renewal in August of 2001, the Company’s insurer elected to not renew its policy for general and professional liability coverage. The Company has been unable to replace coverage for this type of contingent liability insurance. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of the Company’s properties, the Company could be subject to an adverse claim including claims for general or professional liability, could lose the capital that it has invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue for the properties and, in the case of debt which is with recourse to the Company, the Company would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the properties.  Certain losses such as losses due to floods or seismic activity if insurance is available may be insured subject to certain limitations including large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits. 

The Company and one of its subsidiaries were parties to an action which attempted to present a legal basis to hold the Company and its subsidiaries responsible for an incident occurring in February 2001 in connection with resident care at a facility where the subsidiary was the non-possessory landlord and had a long term lease to a third party operator.  Subsequent to September 30, 2002, all parties to this action entered into a contingent settlement agreement and release which contingency will expire on February 7, 2003.  The terms and conditions of this agreement are strictly confidential, however, the Company is allowed to state upon the expiration of the contingency that the parties have resolved their differences and that the lawsuit has been dismissed. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against claims that a non-possessory landlord has liability for the actions of the operators in other similar asserted claims.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIA L CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating Results

Three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to three months ended September 30, 2001

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased to $17.7 million from $17.1 million for the same period in 2001.  Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased $0.9 million compared to the same period of 2001 primarily as a result of the acquisition of properties in December 2001, new leases and rental increases provided for in existing lease agreements, partially offset by the elimination of rents from sold properties, closed facilities and reduction of rents due from ALC.  Same store rental income, properties owned for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and the three months ended September 30, 2001, was unchanged due a reduction of rents due from ALC offset by normal rental rate increases, as set forth in the lease agreements.  Interest income from mortgage loans and notes receivable decreased $0.1 million primarily as a result of the early payoff of three mortgage loans, the conversion of one mortgage loan to an owned property, lower default interest, and the effect of not accruing interest on one mortgage loan, partially offset by the receipt of interest income on the Company’s line of credit with CLC.  Interest income from REMIC Certificates for the three months ended September 30, 2002 decreased $0.5 million compared to the same period of 2001 due to the amortization of the related asset, the early payoff of certain mortgage loans underlying the Company’s REMIC Certificates and the sale of REMIC Certificates in the third quarter of 2001.  Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased $0.3 million from the same period in 2001 due to the receipt of interest on the Company’s investment in ALC bonds.

Interest expense increased by $0.3 million to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $5.1 million during the same period in 2001, due to an increase in the Company’s overall weighted average interest rate resulting from the sale of the Senior Mortgage Participation as discussed in Note 6. – Senior Mortgage Participation Payable partially offset by lower debt outstanding along with a decrease in interest rates on the Company’s Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2002 increased $0.1 million from the second quarter of 2001 due to the conversion of mortgage loans into owned properties and the acquisition of properties in December 2001 partially offset by properties sold and a lower basis of certain assets due to impairment charges taken in 2001 and 2002.  The Company recorded a $0.9 million impairment charge during the third quarter of 2002 (as discussed in Note 3. – Impairment Charge).  No impairment charge was taken in the same quarter of the prior year.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company reported a net loss from discontinued operations of $0.1 million as compared to a $0.2 million net loss in the same period in the prior year.  This reclassification was made in accordance with FASB No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which requires that the financial results of properties meeting certain criteria be reported on a separate line item called “Discontinued Operations”.  During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company sold, in three separate transactions, two skilled nursing facilities in Texas and one skilled nursing facility in Arizona for a total combined gain of approximately $0.8 million.  The Company received approximately $2.5 million in cash from these transactions.  All of the cash received from these transactions was used to repay debt.  Additionally, $0.9 million of commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit were reduced as result of these sales.  In the third quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a $0.3 million loss on sale of assets.

Net income available to common stockholders increased to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2.3 million for the same period in 2001 due to the gain on sale of assets in 2002 as discussed above.

Nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2001

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased to $52.4 million from $53.4 million for the same period in 2001.  Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased $2.2 million compared to the same period of 2001 primarily as a result of the acquisition of properties in December 2001, new leases and rental increases provided for in existing lease agreements, partially offset by the elimination of rents from sold properties and closed facilities and a reduction in rents due from ALC.  Same store rental income, properties owned for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001, was comparable due to rental rate increases provided for in the leases offset by decreases in rents due from ALC.  Interest income from mortgage loans and notes receivable decreased $1.6 million primarily as a result of the early payoff of five mortgage loans (three in 2002 and two in the second half of 2001), the conversion of one mortgage loan to an owned property, a receipt of delinquent interest related to a bankruptcy order in the prior year and the effect of not accruing interest on one mortgage loan.  Interest income from REMIC Certificates for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased $2.0 million compared to the same period of 2001 due to the amortization of the related asset, the early payoff of certain mortgage loans underlying the Company’s REMIC Certificates and the sale of REMIC Certificates in the third quarter of 2001.  Interest and other income increased $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 due primarily to the receipt of interest income from the Company’s investment in ALC bonds.

Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million to $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $16.6 million during the same period in 2001, due to lower debt outstanding along with a decrease in the interest rate on the Company’s Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit, partially offset by a higher interest rate on the Company’s Senior Mortgage Participation (see Note 6. – Senior Mortgage Participation Payable).  Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.6 million due to the conversion of mortgage loans into owned properties and the acquisition of properties in December 2001 partially offset by properties sold and a lower basis of certain assets due to impairment charges taken in 2001 and 2002.  The Company recorded a $5.8 million impairment charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 (as discussed in Note 3. – Impairment Charge) compared to an $22.8 million impairment charge ($4.0 million of which is included in net loss from discontinued operations as required by FASB No. 144 and is more fully explained in Note 2. — Real Estate Investments) taken in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company reported a net loss from discontinued operations of $0.3 million as compared to a $4.6 million net loss in the same period in the prior year.  This reclassification was made in accordance with FASB No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which requires that the financial results of properties meeting certain criteria be reported on a separate line item called “Discontinued Operations”.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company sold two skilled nursing facilities in Texas, one skilled nursing facility in Arizona, two skilled nursing facilities in Illinois and five skilled nursing facilities in Alabama resulting in a net gain of approximately $13.9 million.  During the same period in 2001, the Company recorded a net gain of $1.6 million related the sale of three schools, three skilled nursing facilities, an office building, certain REMIC Certificates, its investment in the common stock of CLC and the funding of the operating losses of two skilled nursing facilities being closed.

Net income available to common stockholders increased to $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from a net loss to common stockholders of $12.8 million for the same period in 2001, due largely to the impairment in 2001 and the gain on sale of assets in 2002 as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2002 the Company’s real estate investment portfolio (before accumulated depreciation and amortization) consisted of $482.4 million invested primarily in owned long-term care facilities, mortgage loans of approximately $83.0 million (net of a $1.3 million reserve) and subordinated REMIC Certificates of approximately $68.5 million with a weighted average effective yield of 17.3%.  At September 30, 2002 the outstanding certificate principal balance and the weighted average pass-through rate for the senior REMIC Certificates (all held by

17



Table of Contents

outside third parties) was $224.6 million and 7.3%.  The Company’s portfolio consists of direct investments (properties that the Company either owns or on which the Company holds promissory notes secured by first mortgages) in 100 skilled nursing facilities, 97 assisted living facilities and one school in 30 states.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company had net cash provided by operating activities of  $32.2 million.  The Company acquired one skilled nursing facility in Texas for $0.5 million cash and the assumption of $1.4 million in mortgage debt payable to a REMIC pool originated by the Company.  Additionally, the Company invested $0.8 million for renovation of owned properties.  The Company sold nine skilled nursing facilities resulting in a net gain of $13.9 million.  The sales resulted in net cash proceeds of $12.1 million, a  ten-year $3.6 million note with a face rate of 7.0% which the Company discounted to $2.6 million for an effective rate of 13.0% and the pay off of $12.8 million of mortgage debt payable to REMIC pools originated by the Company.  The Company received $5.7 million in principal payments on mortgage loans receivable including  $4.3 million in prepayments of three loans on skilled nursing facilities.  The Company also received $1.7 million in repayments of three notes receivable related to properties sold in 2001 and advanced $0.5 million to an operator under a line of credit.  The Company provided CLC with an additional $0.8 million in borrowings, and CLC repaid $0.8 million, under the $10.0 million secured line of credit that bears interest at 10% and matures in April 1, 2008 (see Note 4. CLC Healthcare, Inc.).  In addition, two mortgage loans on two skilled nursing facilities in Florida with a combined principal balance of $3.8 million were reclassified to owned properties as a result of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction and a foreclosure sale.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company borrowed $10.0 million and repaid $39.6 million of bank borrowings and redeemed $2.4 million of convertible subordinated debentures at maturity and has on hand, as of September 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents of $23.0 million.  At September 30, 2002, in addition, to the $12.8 million pay off of mortgage debt related to asset sales, the Company also repaid five loans payable to REMIC pools originated by the Company totaling $11.1 million.  On August 1, 2002, the Company sold, to a private bank, a non-recourse senior participation interest in 22 of the Company’s first mortgages with a total balance outstanding of approximately $58.6 million.  The sales agreement provides that the private bank will receive 9.25% per annum interest and all principal payments from these mortgages until the senior participation is retired.  There is no specific principal maturity date for the senior participation other than the principal maturity dates of the underlying mortgages.  The Company will continue to receive interest from these mortgages above the 9.25% paid to the private bank and will resume collecting principal once the senior participation is repaid in full.  The weighted average interest rate of these mortgages is approximately 11.6%.  The Company sold the senior participation interest for $30.0 million and received approximately $29.8 million in net proceeds, which it used to reduce commitments and amounts outstanding under the Secured Revolving Credit.  This transaction does not meet all of the requirements of FASB No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and as such, the Company has recorded this transaction as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company paid cash dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock totaling $5.5 million, $3.4 million , and $3.2 million ($0.8 million of which was accrued at December 31, 2001), respectively.  Additionally, the Company paid a cash dividend on its common stock totaling $5.5 million.  The Company has declared a $0.10 dividend per share on its common stock payable on December 30, 2002; however, the Company is giving no assurances that this amount or any amount will be a continuing common dividend in the near future.

As of November 4, 2002, the Company had reduced the amounts outstanding and commitment amount under its Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit to the levels required as of October 1, 2003.  In aggregate, the Company is required to make payments of at least $25.4 million to reduce various debt obligations in 2002.  As of September 30, 2002, the Company had made approximately $24.8 million of these payments.  Additionally, the Company paid $13.2 million in principal that was scheduled to mature in 2003 and 2004.

At December 31, 2001, the Company had three contracts to sell four skilled nursing homes and three assisted living facilities for a total aggregate sales price of $35.1 million including the assumption of approximately

18



Table of Contents

$4.1 million of debt.  One of these contracts to sell a skilled nursing facility was completed in the third quarter of 2002 and generated $1.9 million in net cash proceeds.  The contract covering the other three skilled nursing facilities is being renegotiated and at this time, the Company cannot predict if the transaction will be completed or what proceeds, if any, would be generated.  The contract is with the operator of the facilities who remains the operator and is obligated to continue paying rent on the facilities.  The contract for the three assisted living facilities expired as a result of the purchaser’s inability to obtain the necessary financing.  The purchaser is the operator of the facilities and has agreed to an extended lease on these facilities.

Alterra Healthcare Corporation (“Alterra”) operates 35 assisted living facilities with a total of 1,416 units owned by the Company representing approximately 14.9%, or $84.2 million, of the Company’s “direct real estate investment portfolio” (properties that the Company owns or on which the Company holds promissory notes secured by first mortgages).  Alterra has announced that it has engaged financial advisors to assist Alterra in a restructuring of its debt and equity.

In Alterra’s June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q filing, Alterra disclosed that it was not in compliance with certain debt covenants and lease agreements though it had negotiated limited time waivers with certain lenders and lessors.  Alterra disclosed that it had $5.6 million of delinquent outstanding scheduled debt service relating to certain mortgages and that it had received written notice of acceleration from lenders with respect to indebtedness aggregating $149.1 million.  In addition indebtedness of approximately $96.9 million was due and past due as of June 30, 2002.  As a result of several cross default provisions, certain lenders and lessors had taken various actions such as applying deposits and reserve funds against amounts owed.  Alterra also disclosed it was in litigation with a former lessor with respect to a damage claim associated with the early termination of 11 leases.  Alterra’s disclosure further describes other obligations and agreements under which it is in default and discussions with lenders and lessors.

Alterra disclosed that it would require significant additional capital resources in order to fund its operations and restructuring plan.  Alterra’s disclosure further describes actions it is taking to restructure its business including negotiations with various REITs to amend certain covenants and terms.

At this time the Company has not called a default of any provisions of its leases with Alterra and is negotiating four new master leases with Alterra that would cover the 35 facilities currently leased to Alterra.

The Company cannot, at this time, predict or quantify what, if any, impact any ultimate restructuring could have on the Company.  As of November 2002, Alterra was current on all rent due the Company.

As of the filing of this Form 10-Q by the Company, the Company does not have access to any subsequent disclosure from Alterra regarding these issues.

At September 30, 2002, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Sun”) operated 14 facilities (13 leases and one loan to a party who in turn leased the facility to Sun) with 1,714 beds/units representing approximately 11.6%, or  $66.0 million of the Company’s “direct real estate investment portfolio” (properties that the Company owns or on which the Company holds promissory notes, secured by first mortgages).  Additionally, at September 30, 2002 Sun operated nine skilled nursing facilities securing seven mortgage loans payable to REMIC pools originated by the Company.  During 1999, Sun filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and operated its business as a debtor-in-possession subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court until it emerged from bankruptcy in February 2002.  Concurrently, 13 leases the Company had directly with Sun were affirmed; additionally the lease related to the loan was affirmed. 

In Sun’s June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q filing, Sun estimated that if the Medicare “add-ons” expired, Sun’s estimated Medicare revenues would decrease by approximately $32.4 million for the period of October 1, 2002 to  September 30, 2003.  The Company believes that a material amount of this decrease, if it were to happen, would also reduce Sun’s operating income unless Sun was able to reduce costs other than direct patient care costs by a commensurate amount.  Sun also disclosed in its June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q that it was not in compliance with

19



Table of Contents

certain financial covenants contained in its loan agreements.  Sun obtained certain waivers but disclosed that if it were unable to either enter into an amendment of the financial covenants or to fulfill the existing covenants and obtain a permanent waiver of the default with respect to the Revolving Loan Agreement for the period ending  June 30, 2002 prior to September 30, 2002 and June 29, 2003 with respect to the Term Loan Agreement, then Sun would be in default under the loan agreements.  Sun disclosed that it had initiated negotiations with the lenders to revise the covenants but gave no assurances that it would be able to amend the covenants.  If it were unable to do so, Sun disclosed that the lenders could exercise their remedies including but not limited to declaring amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and denying Sun the right to further borrowings under the revolving loan agreement.

In addition, Sun disclosed it was in default of two financial covenants contained in leases of 38 skilled nursing facilities.  None of these leases are with the Company.  Sun stated that it had instituted negotiations with the landlord, however, if it was unable to amend the covenants it would be likely that Sun would continue to be in default and the landlord could exercise remedies including the potential termination of the leases which would result in the loss of Sun’s ability to operate the facilities and the landlord could assess leasehold damages against Sun. 

As of the filing of this Form 10-Q by the Company, the Company does not have access to any subsequent disclosure from Sun regarding these issues.

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

Should an insufficient amount be raised to meet the Company’s debt obligations through asset sales or financings, the Company would need to again suspend paying a common dividend and perhaps some of the preferred dividends in order to apply funds from operations to debt reductions.

The Company’s investments, principally its investments in mortgage loans, REMIC Certificates, and owned properties, are subject to the possibility of loss of their carrying values as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and inflationary expectations.  The effects on interest rates may affect the Company’s costs of financing its operations and the fair market value of its financial assets.  The Company generally made loans that have predetermined increases in interest rates and leases that have agreed upon annual increases.  Inasmuch as the Company initially funded its investments with its Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit, the Company is at risk of net interest margin deterioration if medium and long-term rates were to increase. 

The REMIC Certificates retained by the Company are subordinate in rank and right of payment to the certificates sold to third-party investors and as such would, in most cases, bear the first risk of loss in the event of impairment to any of the underlying mortgages.  The returns on the Company’s investment in REMIC Certificates are subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies including, without limitation, the level of prepayments, estimated future credit losses, prevailing interest rates, and the timing and magnitude of credit losses on the underlying mortgages collateralizing the securities that are a result of the general condition of the real estate market or long-term care

20



Table of Contents

industry.  As these uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s estimations and assumptions, no assurance can be given that current yields will not vary significantly in future periods.  To minimize the impact of prepayments, the mortgage loans underlying the REMIC Certificates generally prohibit prepayment unless the property is sold to an unaffiliated third party (with respect to the borrower).

The Company believes that its current cash flow from operations available for distribution or reinvestment and its current borrowing capacity are sufficient to provide for payment of its operating costs, meet debt obligations and provide funds for distribution to the holders of the Company’s preferred stock.  As a result of the Company’s current inability to refinance its Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit, the Company has continued to limit its investment activity in 2002.  If prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing, if any, (such as the reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) result in higher rates upon refinancing the interest expense relating to the refinanced indebtedness would increase and therefore adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  FASB No. 144 on asset impairment supercedes FASB No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”, and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to disposed of.  Subsequent to January 1, 2002, and in accordance with FASB No. 144, properties held for sale on the balance sheet includes only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes that it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year.  Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  No depreciation expense is recognized on properties held for sale.  In accordance with the implementation provisions of FASB No. 144, the operating results of real estate assets designated as held-for-sale subsequent to January 1, 2002 are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.  In addition, all gains and losses from real estate sold are also included in discontinued operations.

For further discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies, see the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Funds From Operations

Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations (“FFO”) to be an alternative measure of performance of a REIT.  The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has defined FFO as net income applicable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gain (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales of property and impairment charges, plus depreciation of real property and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities in which a REIT holds an interest. 

The Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance.  FFO should not be considered as a alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operations, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes that FFO is helpful in evaluating a REIT portfolio’s overall performance considering the fact that historical cost accounting implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.  FFO provides an alternative measurement criteria, exclusive of certain non-cash charges included in GAAP income, by which to evaluate the performance of such investments.  FFO as used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs.

EX-10.1 3 dex101.htm FIRST AMENDMENT TO PROMISSORY NOTE First Amendment to Promissory Note
 
Ex. 10.1
 
FIRST AMENDMENT TO
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
 
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (THE “AMENDMENT”) TO THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE (THE “NOTE”) IS MADE AS OF THE 1ST DAY OF OCTOBER 2002, BY CLC HEALTHCARE, INC., A NEVADA CORPORATION (FORMERLY KNOWN AS LTC HEALTHCARE, INC., FORMERLY KNOWN AS LTC EQUITY HOLDING COMPANY, INC.), AS MAKER (“MAKER”), IN FAVOR OF LTC PROPERTIES, INC., A MARYLAND CORPORATION, AS PAYEE (“PAYEE”) WHICH NOTE FOR $20,000,000.00 DATED JUNE 8, 2001 SUPERSEDED AND REPLACED THAT CERTAIN AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE DATED MARCH 30, 1998 MADE BY MAKER IN FAVOR OF PAYEE, WITH REFERENCE TO THE FOLLOWING FACTS:
 
RECITALS
 
A.  As of the date hereof, Maker certifies, acknowledges and agrees the outstanding principal balance of the Note is $5,340,660.07 as of September 30, 2002.
 
B.  Payee and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as landlord, and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Maker (hereinafter “Subsidiaries”), as lessee, are parties to certain leases. Maker’s Subsidiaries have failed to make rental payments as and when due up through September 30, 2002 under such leases in the total amount of $2,250,000.00, and has requested, and Payee has agreed, to forbear from exercising Payee’s rights and remedies under such leases with respect to such rental payments. For good and valuable consideration, including without limitation, Payee’s agreement to forbear through November 30, 2002, from exercising its rights and remedies under such leases, Maker is executing and delivering this Amendment to Payee.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, Maker and Payee agree as follows:
 
1.  Recitals and Definitions.    The above recitals are incorporated herein by reference. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Note and/or Security Documents.
 
2.  Amount Reduction.    The Note is hereby amended to reduce the amount of such Note from Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). In installments as herein stated, for value received, Maker hereby promises to pay to the order of Payee, at Payee’s principal place of business in Oxnard, California, or such other place as Payee may from time to time designate, the principal sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may have been advanced, with interest accruing on the principal amount from time to time outstanding from the date hereof to and including the Maturity Date (as defined below) at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) Ten Percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined in Section 14 of the Note). Principal and interest shall be payable as more particularly set forth below. All principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be due on or before April 1, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”). Principal, interest and all other sums due hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States.

1


 
3.  Subject to the limitations described in Section 5 of this Amendment and any other provisions set forth in the Note, Maker desires to obtain a secured line of credit from Payee to enable Maker to borrow, from time to time, sums up to, but not exceeding, in the aggregate the principal sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). Accordingly, such sum represents funds that have been or will, subject to the terms hereof, be advanced to Maker in a series of disbursements that will be made, from time to time, up to, but not exceeding, in the aggregate the principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). As a condition to Payee’s obligation to make each and every disbursement hereunder, Payee shall receive a request for advance setting forth the desired amount of the advance and specifying the wiring instructions to which the advance should be sent (or other method of delivery) not later than ten (10) business days prior to the date on which Maker wishes to receive the funds. No request for any such advance shall be for an amount less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).
 
4.  Payments.
 
(a)  Payments of Interest.    Payments of interest only under the Note shall be made in arrears in monthly installments, without set-off, deduction, demand or notice of any kind or nature whatsoever, on the 1st day of each calendar month commencing on November 1, 2002 (each, a “Payment Date”), in an amount equal to the accrued but unpaid interest for the immediately preceding one-month period on the principal amount outstanding from time to time.
 
(b)  Payments on Maturity Date.    Assuming no acceleration by Payee and no prepayment in full of the Loan by Maker, on the Maturity Date, Maker shall pay to Payee the entire outstanding principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest and any and all other outstanding charges, fees or amounts owing to Payee by Maker under the Note.
 
Paragraph 4 of the Note, entitled “Restrictive Covenants,” is hereby deleted and replaced by the language as set forth in this Paragraph 5:
 
5.  Restrictive Covenants.    Maker hereby covenants and agrees with Payee that, for so long as the obligations of Maker under the Note remain outstanding, or Payee has any obligation to make advances under the Note, Maker will comply with all of the following:
 
(a)  Maker will not, and will not permit any subsidiary of Maker to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any lien or encumbrance of any kind, upon all or any portion of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Documents).
 
(b)  Maker will not use the proceeds to pay any claim arising from an uninsured loss arising as a result of a claim for general or professional liability. At the time of requesting any advance, Maker will submit to Payee a statement certified by an officer of Maker that the requested advance does not violate this provision.
 
(c)  Maker will not use the proceeds available under the Note for any purposes other than: (i) working capital, other than amounts referred to in 4(b) above, or (ii) for such other purposes Payee, in it sole and absolute discretion, approves in writing.

2


 
(d)  Maker will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur, create, issue, assume, purchase or suffer to exist any debt, other than debt under the Note.
 
(e)  Maker will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to (i) lease, assign or sell all or substantially all of its property or business to any other Person (as hereinafter defined), (ii) merge or consolidate with or into any other Person, (iii) purchase or lease or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any other Person, (iv) sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of capital stock in any of its subsidiaries, (v) liquidate, suspend or dissolve its business operations, (vi) change its name, identity or corporate, partnership or other structure, or (vii) change the current principal place of business or chief executive office, in each case without the prior written consent of Payee.
 
6.  No Further Changes.    Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, the Note remains unchanged and in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and affirmed. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions, terms and conditions of this Amendment and the provisions, terms and conditions of the Note, the provisions, terms and conditions of this Amendment shall prevail in each and every instance.
 
7.  Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures on this Amendment conveyed via facsimile transmission shall be binding upon the parties who signed the Amendment.
 
8.  No Waiver of Default(s).    To the extent any Event of Default exists under the Note as of the date hereof (or any event has occurred, which with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default), the making and entering into this Amendment shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Payee of any such Event of Default (or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would constitute an Event of Default). Payee reserves all of its rights and remedies pertaining to any such Event(s) of Default and/or default(s).
 
9.  Governing Law.    This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the state of California.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date first above written.

in all material respects to the satisfaction of Purchaser, provided such Breach can be cured within the constraints of the Mortgage Loan Documents, and, if such Breach is not so cured, the Servicer and the Company shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase Mortgage Loan(s) which are the subject of or affected by such Breach (and each such Mortgage Loan will be considered a Repurchased Mortgage Loan) at the Repurchase Price, which will be paid to and retained as the sole property of Purchaser, but not in excess of the Senior Participation Principal Balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and unreimbursed advances for Property Protection Amounts made by Purchaser.

the Purchaser and the Company, which consents may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Purchaser and the Company.   Provided (a) the Servicer gives to the Purchaser and the Company written notice of the following as to any Mortgage Loan prior to the date any of the following transactions is effected, (b) neither Servicer nor the Company is affiliated in any way with any obligor for the Mortgage Loan in question, and (c) the modification in question is effected in accordance with Accepted Servicer Practices, the Servicer may, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company, (i) extend the term of  any Mortgage Loan for a cumulative total of no more than five (5) years, (ii) reduce the interest rate applicable to any Mortgage Loan to a rate not less than the sum of the Senior Participation Rate plus the Servicing Fee Rate, (iii) grant a payment moratorium (but not forgiveness) of  not more than a cumulative total of six (6) months for any Mortgage Loan (however, each Mortgage Loan subject to any such moratorium will be considered a Non-performing Loan for so long as such moratorium is in effect unless during the term of such moratorium Available Interest is sufficient to pay (and there is paid to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement) interest on the Senior Participation Principal Amount at the Senior Participation Rate, plus the Servicing Fee) and (iv) change the date on which the regular monthly payment is due on a Mortgage Loan one (1) time.

                    In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Purchaser’s reliance on the Servicer. 

                    The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer approved in writing by the Purchaser.  The Servicer may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of the Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer.  The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of any Subservicer from its own funds.

                    Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer’s fees and expenses.

                    Section 4.02   Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

                    In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall promptly notify Purchaser and the Company in writing of such default or failure to perform and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and (subject to the rights of Servicer under Section 4.01 above)  take such action as (1) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for

19



its own account for investment and (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, commence litigation or foreclosure proceedings in regard to any Mortgage Loan.  The Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property, unless in its good faith business judgment, the Servicer reasonably believes (a) that such foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds related thereto (respecting which it shall have similar priority).

                    Section 4.03   Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

                    During the term of this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable.

                    Section 4.04   Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Accounts.

                    (a) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received on or in the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “LTC Properties, Inc. in trust for Beal Bank, S.S.B. ”. Each Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Purchaser.  Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. 

                    Within five Business Days of the Closing Date, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to each Mortgagor (i) a letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, informing the Mortgagor of the sale of the Mortgage to Purchaser and instructing the Mortgagor to deliver all future payments under the Mortgage Loan to the Custodial Account, and (ii) an Estoppel Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, with a request that the Mortgagor sign and return it.

                    In the event that, notwithstanding such instructions, the Servicer shall receive any of the following collections, it shall deposit the same in the Custodial Account not later than 5 Business Days following receipt thereof:

                    (i)         all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;

                    (ii)       any Prepayment Premiums received in connection with the Mortgage Loans;

                    (iii)      all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans;

                    (iv)      all Liquidation Proceeds;

20



                    (v)       all Insurance Proceeds (other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.09);

                    (vi)      all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.09;

                    (vii)    any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Sections 6.01 or 6.02;

                    (viii)   Any and all other payments and amounts received by Servicer in connection with the Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, escrow payments,  late payment charges, insufficient funds charges and other similar charges; and

                    (ix)      any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.10.

          (b)     The foregoing payments and amounts described in subsections (i) through (ix) constitute all payments and amounts that Servicer must deposit into the Custodial Account upon its receipt of same. To the extent not prohibited by the Mortgage Loan Documents, Servicer may retain the interest on the Custodial Account. In addition, so long as all payments due to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are fully and timely paid to and received by Purchaser, Servicer may retain all late payment fees it receives on the Mortgage Loans.  If any such payments due to Purchaser have not been so fully and timely paid, such late payment fees will be paid to Purchaser and the Company in the Purchaser Share Percentage and the Company Share Percentage, respectively.

                    Section 4.05     Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

                    The Servicer shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes and in the following priority:

                    (i)     to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser except (i) if any payment due hereunder to Purchaser has not been fully and timely received by Purchaser and (ii) where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.04 or 6.02, and in  either such case the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of all amounts then due to the Purchaser pursuant hereto and the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser;

                    (ii)     to pay itself the interest earned on the funds deposited in the Custodial Account, if permitted as provided in Section 4.04 (b) above;

                    (iii)    to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.10 related to any REO Property;

21



                    (iv)    to make payments in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

                    (v)     to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and

                    (vi)    to withdraw funds deposited in error.

The Servicer may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.05. except for funds received in (vi) above.

                    Section 4.06     Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

                    With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall monitor the status of taxes and other impositions, nonpayment of which may result in a lien upon any of the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall obtain evidence that fire and hazard insurance coverage is in place on each Mortgaged Property and shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to determine that any such insurance policies are renewed timely by the Mortgagor.  The Servicer shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect payments for taxes and insurance (subject to Servicer’s rights under Section 4.01 above), provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the Servicer to perform or cause the performance of any act or the delivery of any item that is not required to be performed or delivered by the Mortgagor pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents;  provided, however, that  the Servicer shall: (i)  “force place”  fire and hazard insurance for each Mortgaged Property if the Servicer cannot confirm the continuation of such insurance policies for the benefit of Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents and (ii) pay taxes to the extent required to avoid a foreclosure sale by the taxing authorities of any of the Mortgaged Property.

                    Section 4.07     Protection of Accounts.

                    The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time.  Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

                    The Servicer shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Purchaser because the Custodial Account are not demand deposit accounts.

                    Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account may at the option of the Servicer be invested pursuant to an overnight sweep or similar arrangement in bank money market funds or similar investments.  All income on or gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and may be withdrawn at any time by the Servicer.  Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.

                    Section 4.08     Administration of Non-performing Loans.

22


                    In the event that any Mortgage Loan becomes a Non-performing Loan, the Servicer shall administer and manage each Non-performing Loan for the Purchaser and the Company solely for the purpose of its prompt resumption of payment of principal, interest and any fees attendant to its non-performing status.  The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall administer and manage the Non-performing Loan in the manner directed in this Agreement or by Purchaser, and in the event no such direction is provided by Purchaser, then in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in the same manner that  Servicer administers and manages other similar non-performing loans for its own account, and in the same manner that similar non-performing loans are administered and managed.  Purchaser will use reasonable business efforts to respond to requests for direction from Servicer within ten (10) days following Purchaser’s receipt of written request from Servicer for direction concerning how to proceed in regard to a Non-performing Loan.

                    To the extent that a Mortgagor pays fees in consideration of modification of the terms of a  Mortgage Loan, which has been approved by the Purchaser and the Company, or other work-out related fees in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan, such fees (other than reimbursements from such fees of reasonable internal and external expenses incurred in regard to the transaction in question due the Servicer) shall be  paid to the Purchaser and the Company,  with the Purchaser obtaining the Purchaser Share Percentage and the  Company obtaining the Company Share Percentage of such fees.

                    In the event that (a) any Non-performing Loan is delinquent in payments of principal and interest thereon for any  ten-month period and (b) the aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (other than Non-performing Loans) is less than 194% of the Senior Participation Principal Amount, the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, so long as such Non-performing Loan remains delinquent, to: (i) assume the servicing of the Non-performing Loan, and be entitled to the Servicing Fee related to that Non-performing Loan; provided however, that failure to collect such principal and interest and such assumption of the servicing rights with respect to such Non-performing Loan by the Purchaser shall not be a Servicer Event of Default, and/or (ii) require that the Purchaser and the Company (or the Servicer) each provide, simultaneously to the other, a Non-performing Loan purchase price which shall be any cash amount up to, but not in excess of, the then outstanding principal balance of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Non-performing Loan in question (“Call Price”). The Call Price is to be provided by each party to the other party on or before the first Business Day 30 days after the notice of such election by Purchaser. The Party offering the highest Call Price shall purchase the Non-performing Loan from the Purchaser free and clear of this Agreement and all liens, claims, and encumbrances of Purchaser, Servicer or Company. In the event that the Call Price provided by Purchaser and the Company (or the Servicer) is equal, the Company (or the Servicer) shall have the right to purchase the Non-performing Loan in question. The amount of the Call Price received shall be applied first to the accrued but unpaid interest owed to Purchaser in regard to the Senior Participation Principal Amount, then to the Senior Participation Principal Amount and then disbursed in accordance with Section 5.01. 

                    In addition, provided the Company and/or Servicer provide to Purchaser written notice of the following election prior to the date Purchaser notifies the Company of Purchaser’s election under clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph, the Company and/or the Servicer may purchase any Non-performing Loan  for an amount (“Par”) equal to the principal balance thereof,

23



all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due in regard to such Non-performing Loan.  Such purchase must be completed within thirty (30) days following the date Purchaser receives notice of such election by the Company and/or the Servicer.

                    In the event that the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Mortgage Loans (not including Non-performing Loans) is less than one hundred thirty five percent (135%) of the Senior Participation Principal Amount, the Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to assume the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and be paid the Servicing Fee.  For so long as the Purchaser has not relinquished the servicing rights, the Servicer shall not be liable for the discharge of its duties or fulfillment of its obligations as Servicer. For so long as the Purchaser is servicing the Mortgage Loans and REO Property, the Purchaser shall not be liable to Servicer or Company for the discharge of its duties or fulfillment of its obligations as servicer of the Mortgage Loans or the REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Purchaser shall proceed to collect or otherwise realize upon the Mortgage Loans and REO Property in its sole discretion; provided however, that the Purchaser, in its capacity as Servicer shall be required to make Remittances in accordance with Section 5.01 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall relinquish all servicing to Servicer (and Servicer will assume all such obligations) when the unpaid principal balances of the Senior Participation Principal Amount together with all other amounts owed to Purchaser under this Agreement becomes zero. In the event that the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Mortgage Loans (not including Non-performing Loans) is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Senior Participation Principal Amount, the Purchaser may notify the Company and the Servicer in writing of such fact and the Company or the Servicer shall have thirty (30) days following their receipt of such notice to notify the Purchaser that the Company or the Servicer is electing to purchase a sufficient number of the Non-performing Loans to reduce the Senior Participation Principal Amount to an amount less than 100% of the unpaid principal balance of all Mortgage Loans (not including Non-performing Loans). The purchase price for such Non-performing Loans will be Par for all such Non-performing Loans so purchased.  If the Company or the Servicer elects to so purchase all such Non-performing Loans for Par, at the time the Company or the Servicer gives such notice to Purchaser, the  Purchaser must also be paid a non-refundable earnest money deposit equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total Par purchase price for all such Non-performing Loans, which deposit will be applicable to the purchase price for such Non-performing Loans.  The closing of the sale of such Non-performing Loans to the Company or Servicer will take place on the date designated by the Company or the Servicer in its notice of its election to so purchase such Non-performing Loans, which date will be not less than ten (10) days, and not more than sixty (60) days, following the date of such notice.  If the Company or the Servicer fails to so complete the purchase of such Non-performing Loans, the Purchaser shall have available all remedies at law or in equity (including, without limitation, enforcing specific performance of the Company’s or the Servicer’s obligation to so purchase such Non-performing Loans and/or retaining the earnest money deposit).  If (i) the Company fails to timely elect to so purchase such Non-performing Loans or (ii) at the option of Purchaser, the Company so elects to purchase such Non-performing Loans but thereafter fails to timely close such purchase,   the Purchaser, the Company and the Servicer agree that as liquidated damages for the failure to purchase such Non-performing Loans as described in this paragraph, the rights of the Junior Participation shall inure to the Senior Participation and the Company shall have no right, title or interest in the Junior Participation or to the Mortgage Loans or any part thereof, and the Servicer will have no further right to service any Mortgage Loans until the Senior

24



Participation Principal Balance has been repaid in full. In such case, the Purchaser may deal with the Mortgage Loans as it sees fit, so long as the Purchaser does not sell or transfer any Mortgage Loan to itself or any person or entity which either has an ownership interest in Purchaser or in which Purchaser has an ownership interest, and except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, Purchaser shall have no liability or obligation to the Company, the Servicer or the Junion Participation Holder hereunder or otherwise in regard to the servicing and handling of the Mortgage Loans.

                    Section 4.09     Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

                    Unless required by the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents to do so, the Servicer must obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property whether or not such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

                    Section 4.10     Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

                    In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or repossession, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar document, the deed, title, certificate of sale or similar document shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee.  Each REO Property shall be treated as a Non-performing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement.

                    The Servicer shall use its best efforts to arrange for the conservation and protection of each REO Property for the Purchaser and the Company solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.  The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall conserve and protect the REO Property in the same manner that it conserves and protects other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is conserved and protected.  The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be the best available commercial terms.

                    The disposition of REO Property shall: (i) not be made by Servicer to any related or affiliated party; and (ii) be subject to Purchaser’s written consent, as to all terms thereof,  which consent may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of Purchaser; and (iii) otherwise carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Purchaser may approve. The Purchaser shall be provided with 15 days written notice of any proposed REO Property sale and opportunity to purchase the REO Property on substantially the same terms as the proposed sale. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account.  As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid, and on the Remittance Date immediately following the date on which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

                    If the Purchaser does not consent to a sale of any REO Property proposed by the Servicer in good faith to a person or entity not affiliated with or related to the Servicer, within

25



ten (10) days following the date Purchaser notifies the Servicer that Purchaser is not consenting to such proposed sale, the Servicer may notify Purchaser in writing that Servicer is electing to have the REO Property in question appraised by a disinterested, qualified appraiser reasonably acceptable to both Purchaser and Servicer.  In such case, Purchaser may also have the REO Property in question appraised by such an appraiser.  Such appraisals must be received within 45 days (or as soon thereafter as practicable) after the date Servicer so notifies Purchaser that Servicer is having the REO Property in question so appraised.  The appraised values of the REO Property in question determined by such two appraisals received shall be averaged.  Thereafter, for a period of 180 days following the end of such 45 day period or the date such two appraisals are so averaged, whichever first occurs, Servicer may seek to sell the REO Property in question to a person or entity not affiliated with or related to Servicer and if the purchase price therefor is not less than 80% of the average of the appraisal values established by such appraisals of the REO Property in question and the price is to be paid all in cash, Servicer may effect such sale pursuant to an agreement of sale acceptable to Purchaser in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, subject to Purchaser’s prior right to elect to purchase such REO Property on the terms so offered to the third party.

                    The management fee, if any, payable to the Servicer or a third party manager for managing REO Property shall be an amount that is (i) a market rate if such management fee is to be paid to a person or entity unaffiliated in any way with the Servicer or the Company and (ii) in all other cases approved by Purchaser in writing and is reasonable and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located.  In no event will any such management fee exceed seven percent (7%) of the monthly revenue generated by the REO Property in question.  The Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the collected net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of expenses and of any reserves reasonably acceptable to Purchaser from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

                    Section 4.11     Liquidation Reports.

                    Upon the foreclosure or other sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar document, the Servicer shall submit to the Purchaser upon request a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

                    Section 4.12     Advances by Servicer.

                    Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances or to advance any amounts constituting delinquent principal and interest payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans, but may at its option make such advances.

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

                    Section 6.01     Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

                    Unless otherwise directed by Purchaser in writing or unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement or otherwise required by applicable law, the Servicer shall enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note, and deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause or if the Purchaser approves such assumption, the Servicer on behalf of the Purchaser and the Company shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement (in form approved by Purchaser) with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.  If an assumption fee is collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption agreement, the Purchaser shall be provided the Purchaser Share Percentage of such fee and the Company shall be provided the Company Share Percentage of such fee.  In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan,  the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan nor any other term of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed, unless such change is  permitted pursuant to Section 4.01 above or is consented to by Purchaser and the Company in writing, which consent may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the Purchaser and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Mortgage Loan

28



shall be assumed by the Servicer or any affiliate thereof  without the Purchaser’s prior written consent.

                    If the Servicer releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, or in the case of a Non-performing Loan an amount agreed to by the Purchaser, upon written demand of the Purchaser, without limitation of other rights and remedies available to Purchaser and without limitation of Servicer’s liability up to the amount of indebtedness under the released Mortgage, the Servicer shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser.

                    Section 6.04     Right to Examine Servicer Records.

                    The Purchaser shall have the right to examine any and all of the books, records, or other information of the Servicer, whether held by the Servicer or by another on its behalf, with

ARTICLE IX

TERM OF AGREEMENT

                    Section 9.01     Term of Agreement.

                    This Agreement shall terminate on the date the Senior Participation Principal Amount is reduced to zero and all amounts due under this Agreement to the Purchaser are fully, finally and unconditionally paid to and received by Purchaser.  If this Agreement is terminated  as provided above, and if as of the date of such termination any Mortgage Loan or REO Property remains owned by Purchaser subject to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall transfer, assign, set-over and convey to Company or its designee all of Purchaser’s then right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan(s) and/or REO Property, and the Purchaser shall promptly deliver the Mortgage Files to the Company or its designee together with such endorsements and assignments (in form acceptable to Purchaser) as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or its designee. In connection therewith, Purchaser will make the Purchaser’s Repurchase Representations in regard to such Mortgage Loans and/or REO Property. No such termination shall affect any duties, obligations, rights or remedies which have accrued or arisen prior to such termination but which have not been fully performed as of the date of termination.

ARTICLE X

SERVICER EVENTS OF DEFAULT

                    Section 10.01     Servicer Events of Default.

                    Each of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Event of Default” on the part of the Servicer:

                    (a)     any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Purchaser or the Junior Participation Holder any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Purchaser and/or the Junior Participation Holder; or

32



                    (b)     any failure to materially perform any of its other duties under this Agreement for a period in excess of thirty (30) days following the date of Servicer’s receipt of written notice from Purchaser or the Junior Participation Holder, notifying Servicer of the existence of and specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the default; provided however, if the default is of a nature that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Servicer shall have such additional time as may be reasonable and necessary within which to cure such default (provided however, such additional time shall in no event extend beyond thirty (60) days); or

                    (c)     the second occurrence, during any twelve (12) month period, of Servicer’s failure to (1) remit any payment required under Section 10.01(a) or (2) materially perform any of its duties under this Agreement as to which notice has previously during such twelve (12) month period been given to Servicer under Section 10.01 (b); or

                    (d)     a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

                    (e)     the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of the  property of the Servicer; or

                    (f)     the Servicer shall fail to pay, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay, its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

                    In each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatsoever rights the Purchaser or the Junior Participation Holder may have at law or equity, including, without limitation, seeking damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Purchaser (or the Junior Participation Holder only in the event that the Senior Participation Principal Balance has been reduced to zero), by five (5) Business Days’ prior notice in writing to the Servicer and without the payment of any termination fee, may assume the servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

                    Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice that Purchaser or the Junior Participation Holder is assuming the servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Purchaser or the Junior Participation Holder, as the case may be, thereafter. In such case, upon written request from the Purchaser or the Junior Participation Holder, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the new servicer any and all documents and other instruments, place in such new servicer’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the

33



transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Servicer’s sole expense to the Purchaser or Junior Participation Holder, as the case may be.  The Servicer shall cooperate with the Purchaser or the Junior Participation Holder, as the case may be, in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s rights hereunder, including without limitation, the immediate transfer for administration of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

                    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser, its Affiliate or assign becomes the Servicer through an occurrence described in Section 4.08, so long as any thereof remain the Servicer, Sections 10.01(b),(c),(d),(e) and (f) shall no longer constitute a Servicer Event of Default. If Purchaser, its Affiliate or assignee takes over the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and while any thereof continues to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, if a Servicer Event of Default shall occur as to Purchaser, its Affiliate or assignee, the Junior Participation Holder may designate a reputable institutional loan servicer to act as Servicer thereafter.

                    Section 10.02     Waiver of Defaults.

                    By a written notice, the Purchaser may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences.  Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE XI

PARTICIPATION

                    Section 11.01     The Participation.     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby retains a subordinated Junior Participation in the Mortgage Loans.  Such Junior Participation is and in all cases shall be subordinate to the rights of the Purchaser in the Mortgage Loans to the extent provided in this Agreement.

                    Section 11.02     Non-Recourse; No Liability:

                    (a)     The Junior Participation is retained by the Company without recourse to the Purchaser and for the Company’s own account and risk.  The Purchaser makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, and assumes no responsibility, with respect to the genuiness, authorization, execution, delivery, validity, legality, value, sufficiency, perfection, priority, enforceability or collectability of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents.  The Purchaser assumes no responsibility for (i) any representation or warranty made by, or the accuracy, completeness, correctness or sufficiency of any information (or the validity, completeness or adequate disclosure of assumptions underlying any estimates, forecasts or projections contained in such information) provided directly or indirectly by, the Mortgagor or any other Person, (ii) the performance or observance by the Mortgagor or any other Person of any of the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents (whether on, before or after the date of this Agreement), (iii) the

34



filing, recording, or taking of the Mortgagor or any other Person or (v) any other matter whatsoever relating to the Mortgagors, any other Person, the Mortgage Loans or the Junior Participation.

                    (b)     The Company represents to and agrees with the Purchaser that the Company is a sophisticated entity and has made, independently and without reliance on the Purchaser, its own analysis of the Mortgagors and the Mortgage Loan Documents for the purpose of retaining the Junior Participation, and it has received such additional documents and information as it has deemed necessary for such purpose, and it shall continue to make its own decisions with respect to the Junior Participation without such reliance.

                    Section 11.03     Nature of Interest.     The Company shall not, by reason of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, be deemed to have an interest in any other extension of credit by the Purchaser, or in any property now or hereafter in the Purchaser’s possession or control (other than an undivided junior participation interest hereunder in the Mortgage Loans).

                    Section 11.04     No Fiduciary Duty.     In no event will the Purchaser be deemed to be a fiduciary of, or have any fiduciary duty to, the Company in regard to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

ARTICLE XII

                    Prior to termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04 and 10.01 the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to Servicer’s rights, and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and duties of the Servicer under this Agreement.  Servicer shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights of its successor with respect to its assumption of the same.  The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 12.01.

                    Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect claims that  Purchaser may have against the Servicer arising out of the Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.

                    The Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer control over the Custodial Account and all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.

                    Section 12.06     Severability of Provisions.

                    If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

No  assignment or transfer of any rights or obligations of a party hereunder will act to relieve or release such party from any liabilities or obligations hereunder, no matter when accruing or arising.  In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer may not assign or transfer any rights or interests hereunder as Servicer or be merged into any other entity (or otherwise effect a similar transaction), unless the existing management of Servicer continues to manage the assignee or surviving entity.

                    Section 12.09     Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.
