Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 1999
(unaudited)


1. Presentation of Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
related management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Capital Trust, Inc.
and Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
entire year ending December 31, 1999.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the
Company include the accounts of the Company, VIC, Inc., which holds Victor
Capital and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Natrest Funding I, Inc. (a single
purpose entity holding one Mortgage Loan), CT Convertible Trust I (a statutory
trust which issued the Convertible Trust Preferred Securities) and CT-BB Funding
Corp. (a single purpose entity holding fifteen CMBS). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform in all material
respects to generally accepted accounting principles. Certain prior period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications.

2. Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Earnings Per Share of Class A Common Stock

Earnings per share of Class A Common Stock is presented based on the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No.
128"). Basic EPS is computed based on the income applicable to Class A Common
Stock (which is net income reduced by the dividends on the Class A Preferred
Stock) divided by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the net earnings
applicable to Class A Common Stock plus dividends on the Class A Preferred
Stock, divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock
and potentially dilutive shares of Class A Common Stock that were outstanding
during the period. At March 31, 1999, potentially dilutive shares of Class A
Common Stock include the convertible Class A Preferred Stock and dilutive Class
A Common Stock unit awards. At March 31, 1997, potentially dilutive shares of
Class A Common Stock include the convertible Class A Preferred Stock and
dilutive Class A Common Stock options. The options outstanding during the period
ended March 31, 1999 are not dilutive.

4. Supplemental Disclosures for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Interest paid on the Company's outstanding debt during the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $9,020,000 and $2,260,000, respectively. Income
taxes paid by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
was $3,422,000 and $143,000, respectively.

5. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities ("CMBS")

On March 3, 1999, the Company, through its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary,
CT-BB Funding Corp., acquired a portfolio of fixed-rate "BB" rated CMBS (the "BB
CMBS Portfolio") from an affiliate of the Company's credit provider under the
First Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined). The portfolio, which is
comprised of 11 separate issues with an aggregate face amount of $246.0 million,
was purchased for $196.9 million. In connection with the transaction, an
affiliate of the seller provided three-year term financing for 70% of the
purchase price at a floating rate above the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") and entered into an interest rate swap with the Company for the full
duration of the BB CMBS Portfolio securities thereby providing a hedge for
interest rate risk. The financing was provided at a rate which was below the
current market for similar financing and, as such, the carrying amount of the
assets and the debt were reduced by $10.9 million to adjust the yield on the
debt to current market terms. The BB CMBS Portfolio securities bear interest at
fixed rates that average 7.74% on the face amount and mature at various dates
from March 2005 to December 2014. After giving effect to the discounted purchase
price and the adjustment of the carrying amount of the assets to bring the debt
to current market terms, the weighted average interest rate in effect at March
31, 1999 is 11.23%.

6. Loans receivable

At March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company's loans receivable
consisted of the following (in thousands):

March 31, December 31,
1999 1998
---------------- -----------------
(1) Mortgage Loans $ 243,188 $ 305,578
(2) Mezzanine Loans 257,225 317,278
(3) Other mortgage loans receivable 2,008 2,019
---------------- -----------------
502,421 624,875
Less: reserve for possible credit losses (4,582) (4,017)
================ =================
Total loans $ 497,839 $ 620,858
================ =================

At March 31, 1999, the weighted average interest rate in effect, after giving
effect to interest rate swaps and including amortization of fees and premiums,
for the Company's loans receivable was as follows:

(1) Mortgage Loans 10.28%
(2) Mezzanine Loans 11.21%
(3) Other mortgage loans receivable 8.40%
Total Loans 10.75%

At March 31, 1999, $346,582,000 (69%) of the aforementioned loans bear interest
at floating rates ranging from LIBOR plus 320 basis points to LIBOR plus 700
basis points. The remaining $155,839,000 (31%) of loans were financed at fixed
rates ranging from 8.50% to 12.50%.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company provided $3.0 million of
additional fundings on four existing loans. The Company had unfunded commitments
on such assets totaling $28.0 million at March 31, 1999.

At March 31, 1999, the Company has letters of intent outstanding for various
other lending transactions, which were subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions.

7. Long-Term Debt

Credit Facilities

At December 31, 1998, the Company was party to a credit agreement with a
commercial lender that provided for a three-year $355 million line of credit
(the "First Credit Facility"). Effective February 26, 1999, pursuant to an
amended and restated credit agreement, the Company extended the expiration of
such credit facility from December 2001 to February 2002 with an automatic
one-year amortizing extension option, if not otherwise extended.

At December 31, 1998, the Company was party to an additional credit agreement
with another commercial lender that provided for a $300 million line of credit
scheduled to expire in December 1999 (the "Second Credit Facility" together with
the First Credit Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). Effective March 30, 1999,
pursuant to an amended and restated credit agreement, the Company extended the
expiration of such credit facility from December 1999 to June 2000 with an
automatic nine-month amortizing extension option, if not otherwise extended.

Term Redeemable Securities Contract

In connection with the purchase of the BB CMBS Portfolio described in Note 5, an
affiliate of the seller provided financing for 70% of the purchase price, or
$137.8 million, at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 50 basis points pursuant to a
term redeemable securities contract. This rate was below the market rate for
similar financing, and, as such, a discount on the term redeemable securities
contract was recorded to reduce the carrying amount by $10.9 million, which had
the effect of adjusting the yield to current market terms. The debt has a
three-year term that expires in February 2002.

An affiliate of the seller also entered into an interest rate swap with the
Company for the full duration of the BB CMBS Portfolio securities thereby
providing a hedge for interest rate risk. The nominal values of the swaps were
tied to the amount of debt for the term of the debt and then to the assets for
the remaining terms of the assets. The market value of the swap at March 31,
1999 was $715,000.

By entering into the interest rate swap, the Company has effectively converted
the term redeemable securities contract to a fixed interest rate of 6.55%. After
adjusting the carrying amount and yield to current market terms, the term
redeemable securities contract bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 9.55%.

Company also has a federal capital loss carryover of approximately $1.6 million
that can be used to offset future capital gains. Due to CalREIT Investors
Limited Partnership's ("CRIL") purchase of 6,959,593 Common Shares from the
Company's former parent in January 1997 and another prior ownership change, a
substantial portion of the NOLs are limited for federal income tax purposes to
approximately $1.4 million annually. Any unused portion of such annual
limitation can be carried forward to future periods.

10. Segment Reporting

In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No.
131). SFAS No. 131 is based on reporting information the way that management
organizes its segments within the Company for making operating decisions and
assessing performance.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company reorganized the structure of its
internal organization by merging its Lending/Investment and Advisory segments
and thereby no longer managing its operations as separate segments. Previously,
the Company operated as two segments: Lending/Investment and Advisory.
Restatement of prior periods is not presented as the Company did not apply SFAS
No. 131 to interim financial statements in the initial year of its application.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Form 10-Q. Historical results set forth are not necessarily indicative of the
future financial position and results of operations of the Company.

Overview of Financial Condition
- -------------------------------

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company, through its newly
formed wholly owned subsidiary, CT-BB Funding Corp., acquired a portfolio (the
"BB CMBS Portfolio") of "BB" rated commercial mortgage-backed securities
("CMBS") from an affiliate of the Company's credit provider under the First
Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined). The portfolio, which is comprised of
11 separate issues with an aggregate face amount of $246.0 million, was
purchased for $196.9 million. In connection with the transaction, an affiliate
of the seller provided three-year term financing for 70% of the purchase price
at a floating rate above the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and entered
into an interest rate swap with the Company for the full duration of the BB CMBS
Portfolio thereby providing a hedge for interest rate risk. The financing was
provided at a rate which was below the current market for similar financing and,
as such, the carrying amounts of the assets and the debt were reduced by $10.9
million which had the effect of adjusting the yield on the debt to current
market terms. These securities bear interest at various fixed rates, which, when
including the amortization of the discount, average 11.23%.

Since December 31, 1998, the Company funded $3.0 million of
commitments under four existing loans. The Company received full satisfaction of
four loans totaling $114.6 million and recorded a write-down of one loan asset
by $500,000 and subsequently sold it for $9.5 million during the quarter. At
March 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding loans, certificated mezzanine
investments and investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities totaling
approximately $770 million and additional commitments for fundings on
outstanding loans and certificated mezzanine investments of approximately $36.6
million.

In connection with the sale of a loan described above, one of the
repurchase obligations outstanding at December 31, 1998 for $7.5 million was
satisfied. Another repurchase obligation outstanding at December 31, 1998 for
$19.3 million was satisfied by transferring the liability to the Second Credit
Facility (as hereinafter defined). At March 31, 1999, the Company was party to
five repurchase obligations relating to assets sold by the Company with an
aggregate carrying amount of $71.0 million, which approximates the assets'
market value, and has a liability to repurchase these assets for $51.9 million.
The average interest rate in effect for all repurchase obligations at March 31,
1999 is 6.36%.

At December 31, 1998, the Company was a party to a credit agreement
with a commercial lender that provided for a three-year $355 million line of
credit (the "First Credit Facility"). Concurrent with the BB CMBS Portfolio
transaction, the First Credit Facility's maturity was extended to February 28,
2002 with an automatic one-year amortizing extension option, if not otherwise
extended.




12
At December 31, 1998,  the Company was a party to a credit  agreement
with another commercial lender that provided for a $300 million line of credit
(the "Second Credit Facility" and together with the First Credit Facility, the
"Credit Facilities"). During the first quarter of 1999, the Company extended the
expiration date of its Second Credit Facility from December 1999 to June 2000
with an automatic nine-month amortizing extension option, if not otherwise
extended.

At March 31, 1999, the Company had $313.7 million outstanding under
the Credit Facilities. The decrease in the amount outstanding under the Credit
Facilities from the amount outstanding at December 31, 1998 was due to the
significant loan repayments received, offset by the cash utilized in the BB CMBS
Portfolio purchase and cash utilized to satisfy the repurchase obligation which
matured.

As of March 31, 1999, certain of the Company's loans and other
investments have been hedged so that the assets and the corresponding
liabilities were matched at floating rates over LIBOR and certain of the
Company's liabilities have been hedged so that the liabilities and the
corresponding CMBS were matched at fixed rates. During the quarter ended March
31, 1999, the Company terminated two swaps and partially terminated a third swap
in connection with the payoff of a loan and the sale of a loan resulting in a
payment of $323,000. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements
for notional amounts totaling approximately $238.4 million at March 31, 1999
with financial institution counterparties whereby the Company swapped fixed-rate
instruments, with average interest rates of approximately 6.01%, for floating
rate instruments with interest rates at LIBOR. The agreements mature at varying
times from September 2001 to July 2014.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 to the
- ----------------------------------------------------------
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998
----------------------------------

The Company reported net income allocable to shares of Class A Common
Stock of $3,008,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of
$1,119,000 from the net income allocable to shares of Class A Common Stock of
$1,889,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This increase was
primarily the result of the increased revenues generated from the loan and other
investment portfolio which has more than doubled from the level a year earlier.

Income from loans and other investments, net, amounted to $13,534,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $8,638,000 over the
$4,896,000 amount for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This increase was
primarily due to the increase in the amount of average interest earning assets
from approximately $290.6 million earning 11.1% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 to approximately $665.0 million earning 13.5% for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. This increase in the interest rate earned in 1999 over
that earned in 1998 was mainly due to additional interest and fees which were
recognized upon the early termination of three loans by the borrowers that
resulted in an additional $3.6 million of interest income. Without this
additional interest income, the earning rate for 1999 would have been 11.3%
which is consistent with the earning rate for the prior year. The increase in
revenues was partially offset by an increase in the amount of average interest
bearing liabilities from approximately $163.9 million at an average rate of 7.6%
for the three months ended



13
March 31, 1998 to  approximately  $430.8  million at an average rate of 8.1% for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.

In addition, the Company also utilized $150.0 million of Convertible
Trust Preferred Securities which it issued on July 28, 1998 to finance its
interest earning assets. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company
recognized $1,741,000 of net expenses related to these securities. This amount
consisted of distributions to the holders totaling $3,094,000 and amortization
of discount and origination costs totaling $201,000. This was partially offset
by a tax benefit of $1,554,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, other revenues totaled
$3,713,000, an increase of $483,000 over the same three month period in 1998.
The increase for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was due to an additional
of $233,000 of advisory and investment banking fees generated by Victor Capital
Group, L.P. and its related subsidiaries over the amount of such fees generated
in the prior year and a $250,000 increase in other interest income. The increase
in other interest income was due to the Company maintaining a higher level of
liquidity during the first quarter of 1999.

Other expenses increased from $3,873,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 to $6,512,000 for three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase
was primarily due to the additional general and administrative expenses
necessary for the full-scale operations as a specialty finance company, the
largest components of such expenses are employee salaries and related costs and
the provision for possible credit losses. During March 1999, to reduce general
and administrative expenses to a level in line with budgeted business activity,
the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 30% and recorded a
restructuring charge of $650,000. During the period ended March 31, 1999, the
Company had an average of 45 full time employees as compared to average of 32
during the period ended March 31, 1998. The Company had 30 full time employees
at March 31, 1999. The increase in the provision for possible credit losses from
$480,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1,079,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 was due to the increase in average earning assets as
previously described.

For the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company
accrued $5,202,000 and $1,580,000, respectively, of income tax expense for
federal, state and local income taxes. The increase (from 37.2% to 48.5%) in the
effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the net operating loss
carryforward available to offset taxable income. For the three months ended
March 31, 1998, net operating loss carryforwards reduced the effective tax rate
by 10.0% due to significant losses generated in 1997 which were not limited for
utilization in 1998. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the reduction
was only 1.1% as all of the losses generated in 1997 were utilized in 1998.

The preferred stock dividend and dividend requirement arose in 1997
as a result of the Company's issuance of $33 million of shares of Class A
Preferred Stock on July 15, 1997. Dividends accrue on these shares at a rate of
9.5% per annum on a per share price of $2.69 for the 12,267,658 shares
outstanding.



14
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

At March 31, 1999, the Company had $24,837,000 in cash. The primary
sources of liquidity for the Company for the remainder of 1999, which the
Company believes will adequately meet future operating liquidity and capital
resource requirements, will be cash on hand, cash generated from operations,
interest and principal payments received on its investments, loans and
securities and additional borrowings under the Company's Credit Facilities. The
primary demands on the Company's capital resources will be the funding required
for the origination or acquisition of loans and other investments as the Company
continues to expand its specialty finance operations and the growth of its
portfolio of loans and other investments.

The Company experienced a net decrease in cash of $21,786,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to the net decrease of $42,193,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The use of cash in the first quarter
of 1999 was primarily due to the purchase of the BB CMBS Portfolio (net of the
proceeds from the term redeemable securities contract) while the use of cash in
the first quarter of 1998 was due to the utilization of the proceeds of the
Class A Common Stock offering completed in the fourth quarter of 1997 in making
loans and other investments offset by additional borrowings. Cash provided by
operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased by
$3,616,000 to $922,000, from cash used in operating activities of $2,694,000
during the same period of 1998. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, cash
used in investing activities was $63,606,000, a decrease of $100,009,000 from
$163,615,000 used during the same period in 1998 primarily as a result of the
significant repayments received on loans and other investments since December
31, 1998. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities, which decreased
$83,218,000 to $40,898,000 from $124,116,000, was due primarily to significant
repayments of borrowings under the Credit Facilities.

At March 31, 1999, the Company has two outstanding notes payable
totaling $3,820,000, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities of
$313,651,000, outstanding borrowings on the term redeemable securities contract
of $127,135,000 and outstanding repurchase obligations of $51,945,000. At March
31, 1999, the Company had $341,349,000 of borrowing capacity available under the
Credit Facilities.

Year 2000 Information
- ---------------------

General Description of the Year 2000 Issue and the Nature and Effects of the
Year 2000 on Information Technology ("IT") and Non-IT Systems

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or
embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar business
activities.

Based upon recent assessments, the Company determined that it was
required to replace certain of its software and certain hardware so that those
systems will properly utilize dates



15
beyond December 31, 1999. The Company  believes that with the replacement of the
previously existing software and certain hardware, the Year 2000 Issue can be
mitigated. However, if certain replacements are not made, or not completed
timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of
the Company.

The Company's plan to resolve the Year 2000 Issue involves the
following four phases: assessment, remediation, testing and implementation. To
date, the Company has completed all phases of the plan for its in-house systems
that could be significantly affected by the Year 2000 Issue. In addition, the
Company will continue to gather information about the Year 2000 compliance
status of its significant service providers to monitor their compliance.

Status of Progress in Becoming Year 2000 Compliant, Including Timetable for
Completion of Each Remaining Phase

The Company believes it is 100% Year 2000 compliant with its in-house
IT systems (both software and hardware). The testing phase of the project was
completed during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

Nature and Level of Importance of Third Parties and their Exposure to the Year
2000 Issue

The Company's loan servicing function is performed by an independent
third party. This service includes the calculation of interest and principal for
the Company's loans receivable, the processing of bills to the Company's
customers and the maintenance of lock boxes and escrow accounts on behalf of
borrowers. The vendor has advised the Company that they will be Year 2000
compliant by June 1999.

The Company has queried its significant service providers that do not
share information systems with the Company (external agents). To date, the
Company is not aware of any external agent with a Year 2000 Issue that would
materially impact the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or capital
resources. However, the Company has no means of ensuring that any external
agents used by the Company will be Year 2000 compliant. The inability of
external agents to complete their Year 2000 Issue resolution process in a timely
manner could materially impact the Company. The effect of non-compliance by
external agents is not determinable.

Costs of Year 2000 Compliance

The Company utilized both internal and external resources to replace,
test, and implement the software and operating equipment for Year 2000
modifications. The project was completed during the quarter ended March 31, 1999
and the Company incurred approximately $225,000 ($30,000 expensed and $195,000
capitalized for new systems and equipment) related to all phases of the Year
2000 project which was funded through operating cash flow. The Company does not
expect any additional project costs.

Risks of Year 2000

The Company believes it has an effective program in place to resolve
the Year 2000 Issue and has completed all the necessary phases of the Year 2000
program for its in-house IT systems.



16
While the Company has completed its project, disruptions in the economy
generally resulting from Year 2000 Issue could materially adversely affect the
Company. The amount of potential liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.

The Company currently has no contingency plans in the event that the
noted third parties do not complete their Year 2000 compliance. The Company
plans to evaluate the status of their completion in the second quarter of 1999
and determine whether a contingency plan is necessary.

Explanatory Note for the Use of Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information contained herein, this quarterly
report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which
involve certain risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are included
with respect to, among other things, the Company's current business plan,
business strategy and portfolio management. The Company's actual results or
outcomes may differ materially from those anticipated. Representative examples
of such factors are discussed in more detail in the Company's 1998 fiscal year
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and include, among other things, the
availability of desirable loan and investment opportunities, the ability to
obtain and maintain targeted levels of leverage and borrowing costs, changes in
interest rates, continued loan performance and repayment and the maintenance of
loan loss allowance levels. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to
update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.



17
ITEM 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The principal objective of the Company's asset/liability management
activities is to maximize net interest income, while minimizing levels of
interest rate risk. Net interest income and interest expense are subject to the
risk of interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in
interest rates, the Company uses interest rate swaps to effectively convert
fixed-rate assets to variable-rate assets and variable-rate liabilities to
fixed-rate liabilities for proper matching with variable-rate liabilities and
fixed-rate assets. Each derivative used as a hedge is matched with an asset or
liability with which it has a high correlation. The swap agreements are
generally held to maturity and the Company does not use derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce
the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations on certain fixed-rate loans
and investments and to provide more stable spreads between rates received on
loans and investments and the rates paid on their financing sources.



18
The  following  table  provides   information   about  the  Company's
financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates at March
31, 1999. For financial assets and debt obligations, the table presents cash
flows and weighted average interest rates based on the contractual maturity
dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted
average fixed pay and variable receive interest rates by contractual maturity
dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual cash flows to be
exchanged under the contract. Weighted-average variable rates are based on rates
in effect as of the reporting date.
