DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-115991) filed on May 28, 2004 (the “Registration Statement”) by LTC Properties Inc. (the “Registrant”).  The Registration Statement registered Common Stock of the Registrant for resale by selling stockholders pursuant to Exchange Rights Agreements in connection with eight separate limited partnerships of which the Registrant was general partner.

This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister all unsold securities registered under the Registration Statement and remaining available thereunder.  As of the filing date of this Post-Effective Amendment, all units in the limited partnerships have been exchanged and the Registrant no longer is required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration the securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement, if any.
