1. Presentation of Financial Information

References herein to "we," "us" or "our" refer to Capital Trust, Inc. and its
subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

We are a fully integrated, self-managed finance and investment management
company that specializes in credit sensitive structured financial products. We
invest in loans, debt securities and related instruments for our own account and
on behalf of funds that we manage. To date, our investment programs have focused
on loans and securities backed by income-producing commercial real estate assets
with the objective of achieving attractive risk adjusted returns with low
volatility. We conduct our operations to qualify as a real estate investment
trust for federal income tax purposes.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year ending December
31, 2004.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include our
accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our accounting
and reporting policies conform in all material respects to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current period classifications.

2. Application of New Accounting Standard

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation
No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin 51. Interpretation No. 46 provides guidance on
identifying entities for which control is achieved through means other than
through voting rights, and how to determine when and which business enterprise
should consolidate a variable interest entity. In addition, Interpretation No.
46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a
significant variable interest in a variable interest entity make additional
disclosures. The transitional disclosure requirements took effect almost
immediately and are required for all financial statements initially issued after
January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued a revision of Interpretation No. 46, Interpretation No. 46R, to clarify
the provisions of Interpretation No. 46. The application of Interpretation No.
46R is effective for public companies, other than small business issuers, after
March 15, 2004. We have evaluated all of our investments and other interests in
entities that may be deemed variable interest entities under the provisions of
Interpretation No. 46 and have concluded that no additional entities need to be
consolidated.

In evaluating Interpretation No. 46R, we concluded that we could no longer
consolidate CT Convertible Trust I, the entity which had purchased our step up
convertible junior subordinated debentures and issued company-obligated,
mandatory redeemable, convertible trust common and preferred securities. Capital
Trust, Inc. had issued the convertible junior subordinated debentures and had
purchased the convertible trust common securities. The consolidation of CT
Convertible Trust I resulted in the elimination of both the convertible junior
subordinated debentures and the convertible trust common securities with the
convertible trust preferred securities being reported on our balance sheet after
liabilities but before equity and the related expense being reported on the
income statement below income taxes and net of income tax benefits. After the
deconsolidation, we report the convertible junior subordinated debentures as
liabilities and the convertible trust common securities as other assets. The
expense from the payment of interest on the debentures is reported as interest
and related expenses on convertible junior subordinated debentures and the
income received from our investment in the common securities is reported as a
component of interest and related income. We have elected to restate prior
periods for the application of

Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)


Interpretation 46R. The restatement was effected by a cumulative type change in
accounting principle on January 1, 2002. There was no change to previously
reported net income as a result of such restatement.

3. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Available-for-Sale Securities

On June 14, 2004, we sold our entire portfolio of our available-for-sale
securities for a gain of $300,000 over their amortized cost.

5. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we purchased three investments in two
issues of commercial mortgage-backed securities. The securities had a face value
of $36,367,000 and were purchased at a discount for $35,037,000.

At June 30, 2004, we held twenty-one investments in fourteen separate issues of
commercial mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate face value of
$251,880,000. Commercial mortgage-backed securities with a face value of
$41,367,000 earn interest at a variable rate, which averages the London
Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 3.04% (4.28% at June 30, 2004). The
remaining commercial mortgage-backed securities, $210,512,000 face value, earn
interest at fixed rates averaging 7.70% of the face value. We purchased the
commercial mortgage-backed securities at discounts. As of June 30, 2004, the
remaining discount to be amortized into income over the remaining lives of the
securities was $23,103,000. At June 30, 2004, with discount amortization, the
commercial mortgage-backed securities earn interest at a blended rate of 8.73%
of the face value less the unamortized discount. As of June 30, 2004, the
securities were carried at fair value of $195,037,000, reflecting a $33,739,000
unrealized loss to their amortized cost.

6. Loans Receivable

At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the our loans receivable consisted of
the following (in thousands):

June 30, December 31,
2004 2003
--------------- ---------------
First mortgage loans $ 11,540 $ 12,672
Property mezzanine loans 115,713 106,449
B Notes 79,244 64,600
--------------- ---------------
206,497 183,721
Less: reserve for possible credit losses (6,672) (6,672)
--------------- ---------------
Total loans $ 199,825 $ 177,049
=============== ===============

One first mortgage loan with an original principal balance of $8,000,000 reached
maturity on July 15, 2001 and has not been repaid with respect to principal and
interest. In December 2002, the loan was written down to $4,000,000 through a
charge to the allowance for possible credit losses. Since the December 2002
write-down, we received proceeds of $962,000 reducing the carrying value of the
loan to $3,038,000. In accordance with our policy for revenue recognition,
income recognition has been suspended on this loan, and for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2004, $224,000 and $449,000, respectively, of potential
interest income has not been recorded. All remaining loans are performing in
accordance with the terms of the loan agreements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we purchased or originated one
property mezzanine loan for $23,500,000 and two B Notes for $23,593,000,
received partial repayments on ten mortgage and property mezzanine loans
totaling $7,493,000 and one property mezzanine loan and one B Note totaling
$16,853,000 were satisfied and repaid. We have no outstanding loan commitments
at June 30, 2004.

At June 30, 2004, the weighted average interest rate in effect, including
amortization of fees and premiums, for our performing loans receivable were as
follows:

First mortgage loan 10.55%
Property mezzanine loans 9.18%
B Notes 6.79%
Total Loans 8.31%

At June 30, 2004, $154,640,000 (76%) of the aforementioned performing loans bear
interest at floating rates ranging from LIBOR plus 235 basis points to LIBOR
plus 900 basis points. The remaining $48,819,000 (24%) of loans bear interest at
a fixed rate of 11.67%.

7. Long-Term Debt

Credit Facility

At June 30, 2004, we have borrowed $50,000,000 under a $150.0 million credit
facility at an average borrowing rate (including amortization of fees incurred
and capitalized) of 4.32%. We pledged $114,456,000 of assets as collateral for
the borrowing against such credit facility. At June 30, 2004, the available
credit remaining under the credit facility was $100.0 million of which $32.5
million may be borrowed without the need to pledge additional assets as
collateral.

Repurchase Obligations

At June 30, 2004, we were obligated to four counterparties under repurchase
agreements.

The repurchase obligation with the first counterparty, an affiliate of a
securities dealer, was utilized to finance commercial mortgage-backed
securities. At June 30, 2004, we have sold commercial mortgage-backed securities
with a book and market value of $184,500,000 and have a liability to repurchase
these assets for $116,818,000 that


-7-

is non-recourse to us. This repurchase obligation had an original one-year term
that expired in February 2003 and was extended twice to February 2005. The
liability balance bears interest at specified rates over LIBOR based upon each
asset included in the obligation.

The repurchase obligation with the second counterparty, a securities dealer, was
entered into on May 28, 2003 pursuant to the terms of a master repurchase
agreement that, as increased in August 2003, allows us to incur $100.0 million
of repurchase obligations to finance specific assets. Through June 30, 2004, the
master repurchase agreement has been utilized in connection with the purchase of
five loans. At June 30, 2004, we have sold loans with a book and market value of
$53,085,000 and have a liability to repurchase these assets for $40,000,000. The
master repurchase agreement was extended during the quarter ended June 30, 2004
and now terminates on June 1, 2006, with an automatic nine-month amortizing
extension option, if not otherwise extended, and bears interest at specified
rates over LIBOR based upon each asset included in the obligation.

The repurchase obligations with the third counterparty, a securities dealer,
were entered into during 2003 in connection with the purchase of commercial
mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 2004, we have sold commercial
mortgage-backed securities with a book and market value of $5,000,000 and have a
liability to repurchase these assets for $4,250,000. The repurchase agreements
are matched to the term of the commercial mortgage-backed securities, which have
an extended maturity in August 2007, and bear interest at specified rates over
LIBOR based upon each asset included in the obligation.

The repurchase obligation with the fourth counterparty, a securities dealer, was
entered into in connection with the purchase of two loans. At June 30, 2004, we
have sold loans with a book and market value of $21,326,000 and have a liability
to repurchase these assets for $17,876,000. This repurchase agreement comes due
monthly and has a current maturity date in August 2004.

The average borrowing rate in effect for all the repurchase obligations
outstanding at June 30, 2004 was LIBOR plus 1.09% (2.21% at June 30, 2004).
Assuming no additional utilization under the repurchase obligations and
including the amortization of fees paid and capitalized over the term of the
repurchase obligations, the all-in effective borrowing cost was 2.30% at June
30, 2004.

Term Redeemable Securities Contract

At December 31, 2003, we had borrowed $11,651,000 under a $75 million term
redeemable securities contract. This term redeemable securities contract expired
on February 28, 2004 and was repaid by refinancing the previously financed
assets under our credit facility.

9. Shareholders Equity

On May 11, 2004, we closed on the initial tranche of a direct public offering to
designated controlled affiliates of W. R. Berkley Corporation, which we refer to
as Berkley. We issued 1,310,000 shares of our class A common stock and stock
purchase warrants to purchase 365,000 shares of our class A common stock for a
total purchase price of $30.7 million. On June 21, 2004, we closed on the second
tranche of the direct public offering and issued an additional 325,000 shares of
our class A common stock for a total purchase price of $7.6 million. The
warrants have an exercise price of $23.40 per share and expire on December 31,
2004. Pursuant to a director designation right granted to Berkley in the
transaction, we appointed Joshua A. Polan to our board of directors.

11. Income Taxes

We intend to make an election to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust, or
REIT, under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
when we file our tax return for the tax year ending December 31, 2003 in the
fourth quarter of 2004. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal
income tax. To maintain qualification as a REIT, we must distribute at least 90%
of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain other
requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be
subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.
We may also be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and
property. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be
due on our undistributed taxable income. At June 30, 2004, we were in compliance
with all REIT requirements.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded $88,000 and
$229,000, respectively, of income tax expense for income that was attributable
to taxable REIT subsidiaries. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 attributable to our taxable REIT subsidiaries was 34.0%. The
difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% and the effective
tax rate was additional deductions generated from vesting of restricted stock
offset by state and local taxes, net of federal tax benefit.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

John R. Klopp serves as our chief executive officer and president pursuant to an
employment agreement entered into on July 15, 1997, which terminated effective
July 15, 2004, the effective date of his new employment agreement that was
entered into as of February 24, 2004. The new employment agreement provides for
Mr. Klopp's employment as chief executive officer and president through December
31, 2008 (subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances).

Under the new employment agreement, Mr. Klopp will receive a base salary and is
eligible to receive annual performance compensation awards of cash and
restricted shares of common stock. In addition, as of the effective date of the
new agreement, July 15, 2004, Mr. Klopp was granted an initial award of 218,818
restricted shares, 50% of which will be subject to time vesting in eight equal
quarterly increments commencing on March 31, 2007 and 50% of which will be
issued as a performance compensation award and will vest on December 31, 2008 if
the total shareholder return, measured from January 1, 2004 through December 31,
2008, is at least 13% per annum. As of the effective date, Mr. Klopp was also
awarded performance compensation awards tied to the amount of cash we receive,
if any, as incentive management fees from CT Mezzanine Partners III, Inc. The
agreement provides for severance payments under certain circumstances and
contains provisions relating to non-competition during the term of employment,
protection of our confidential information and intellectual property, and
non-solicitation of our employees, which provisions extend for 24 months
following termination in certain circumstances.

13. Dividends

In order to maintain our election to qualify as a REIT, we must currently
distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income and
must distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income to avoid paying corporate
federal income taxes. We expect to distribute all of our REIT taxable income to
our shareholders. Because REIT taxable income differs from cash flow from
operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses, in certain circumstances, we
may be required to borrow to make sufficient dividend payments to meet this
anticipated dividend threshold.

On June 22, 2004, we declared a dividend of approximately $3,735,000, or $0.45
per share of common stock applicable to the three-month period ended June 30,
2004, payable on July 15, 2004 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2004.

14. Employee Benefit Plans

1997 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we did not issue any
options to acquire shares of class A common stock. During the six months ended
June 30, 2004, we issued 52,515 shares of restricted stock. The shares of
restricted stock issued in 2004 are split into two grants. One-half of the
shares issued in 2004 vest one-third on each of the following dates: February 1,
2005, February 1, 2006 and February 1, 2007. The remaining one-half are
performance based and vest on February 1, 2008 if the total return to
shareholders exceeds 13% during the period from January 1, 2004 to December 31,
2007.

The following table summarizes the option activity under the incentive stock
plan for the six months ended June 30, 2004:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>


Weighted Average
Options Exercise Price Exercise Price per
Outstanding per Share Share
--------------------- ------------------------------ ----------------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>

--------------------- ----------------------
Outstanding at June 30, 2004 465,833 $12.375 - $30.00 $ 19.62
===================== ======================
</TABLE>

At June 30, 2004, 435,385 of the options are exercisable. At June 30, 2004, the
outstanding options have various remaining contractual exercise periods ranging
from 1.50 to 7.60 years with a weighted average life of 4.98 years.

2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan

At the 2004 annual meeting of our shareholders held on June 17, 2004, our 2004
long-term incentive plan, which we refer to as the 2004 Plan, was approved by
shareholders. The 2004 Plan permits the grant of nonqualified stock option,
incentive stock option, share appreciation right, restricted share, unrestricted
share, performance unit, performance share and deferred share unit awards. A
maximum of 1,000,000 shares of class A common stock may be issued under the 2004
Plan and, as of June 30, 2004, no shares have been issued under the plan. We
have committed to issue to the chief executive officer, pursuant to his
employment agreement, 218,818 shares of restricted stock on July 15, 2004 under
the 2004 Plan. No participant may receive options or share appreciation rights
that relate to more than 500,000 shares per calendar year.

Incentive stock options shall be exercisable no more than ten years after their
date of grant and five years after the grant in the case of a 10% shareholder.
Payment of an option exercise price may be made with cash, with previously owned
class A common stock, through a cashless exercise program, surrender of
restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights or deferred
share units or by a combination of these methods of payment.

Restricted stock may be granted under the 2004 plan with performance goals and
periods of restriction as the board of directors may designate. The performance
goals may be based on the attainment of certain objective and/or subjective
measures.

The long-term incentive stock plan also authorizes the grant of share units at
any time and from time to time on such terms as shall be determined by the board
of directors or administering compensation committee. Share units shall be
payable in shares of class A common stock upon the occurrence of certain trigger
events. The terms and conditions of the trigger events may vary by share unit
award, by the participant, or both.

Interest paid on our outstanding debt and convertible junior subordinated
debentures during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $9,643,000 and
$9,384,000, respectively. We paid income taxes during the six months ended June
30, 2004 and 2003 of $1,910,000 and $1,693,000, respectively.

16. Segment Reporting

We have established two reportable segments beginning January 1, 2003. We have
an internal information system that produces performance and asset data for our
two segments along service lines.

The Balance Sheet Investment segment includes all of our activities related to
direct loan and investment activities (including direct investments in Funds)
and the financing thereof.

The Investment Management segment includes all of our activities related to
investment management services provided us and third-party funds under
management and includes our taxable REIT subsidiary, CT Investment Management
Co., LLC and its subsidiaries.

The following table details each segment's contribution to our overall
profitability and the identified assets attributable to each such segment for
the six months ended and as of June 30, 2004, respectively (in thousands):

17. Subsequent Events

In June and July of 2004, CT Investment Management Co. was approved as a Special
Servicer by Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service.
These approvals allow CT Investment Management Co. to act as a named Special
Servicer for CMBS and B Note investments.

On July 20, 2004, we closed a $320.8 million issue of collateralized debt
obligations, commonly known as CDOs, that have been privately offered to
institutional investors. In connection with the issuance of the CDOs, we closed
on the following related transactions:

o we purchased a $251.2 million portfolio of floating rate B Notes and
mezzanine loans from GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation;

o we contributed those assets, along with $72.9 million of B Notes,
mezzanine loans and subordinate CMBS from our own portfolio, to Capital
Trust RE CDO 2004-1 Ltd, our wholly-owned subsidiary that we call the
Issuer;

o the Issuer issued $320.8 million of floating rate CDOs secured by the
Issuer's assets;


-15-
Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)


o the Issuer sold all of the $252.8 million of CDOs that are rated
investment grade to third-party investors; and

o we acquired and retained all of the $68.1 million of unrated and below
investment grade rated CDOs in addition to ownership of all of the
Issuer's $3.2 million of equity.

Taken together, we refer to these related transactions as the CDO-1 transaction.

We will consolidate the Issuer into our financial statements, with the entity's
investments shown as loans receivable and the investment grade notes held by
third-parties shown as direct liabilities on our balance sheet. As a result of
the CDO-1 transaction, our balance sheet assets increased by $251.2 million and
we recorded $252.8 million of CDOs as liabilities at the time of the closing.

The GMAC Commercial Mortgage assets contributed to the Issuer are comprised of
40 floating rate B Notes and one mezzanine loan with an aggregate balance of
$251.2 million. The assets contributed by us consist of seven B Notes, mezzanine
loans and subordinate CMBS with an aggregate balance of $72.9 million. Together,
the Issuer's initial portfolio represents a combination of large-and
small-balance commercial real estate mezzanine investments, ranging in size from
$575,489 to $31.9 million with an average balance of $6.8 million and a weighted
average remaining contractual life of 19.9 months. All the assets but one are
floating rate, with a weighted average rate of LIBOR plus 4.59%.

The Issuer issued 10 classes of CDOs that are rated AAA to NR with a total face
amount of $320.8 million of which nine classes mature in July 2039 and one class
matures in July 2019. The governing documents provide for a four year
reinvestment period, commencing on July 20, 2004, during which principal
proceeds from the repayment, amortization and sale of assets may be reinvested
in qualifying replacement B Notes, mezzanine loans and subordinate CMBS based
upon criteria agreed upon with the rating agencies. The CDOs are callable at par
at our option as the holder of the entire equity in the Issuer commencing two
years after July 20, 2004. The weighted average rate on the investment grade
CDOs is LIBOR plus 0.62%.

On July 28, 2004, we closed on a public offering of our class A common stock
pursuant to which we sold 1,888,289 shares and certain selling shareholders sold
2,136,711 shares obtained upon the concurrent conversion of $44,871,000 of our
outstanding convertible junior subordinated debentures. All of the 4,025,000
shares were sold to the public at a price of $23.75 per share. After payment of
underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses, we expect net proceeds from
the offering to be approximately $42.0 million.

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 our future
financial position and results of operations.

Introduction

We are a fully integrated, self-managed finance and investment management
company that specializes in credit-sensitive structured financial products. To
date, our investment programs have focused on loans and securities backed by
income-producing commercial real estate assets. Since we commenced our finance
business in 1997 and through June 30, 2004, we have completed $3.6 billion of
real estate-related investments in 123 separate transactions both directly and
on behalf of our managed funds. We conduct our operations to qualify as a real
estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes and will elect
to REIT status when we file our tax return for the 2003 tax year in the fourth
quarter of 2004.

Currently, we make balance sheet investments for our own account and manage a
series of private equity funds on behalf of institutional and individual
investors. Our investment management business commenced in March 2000. Pursuant
to a venture agreement, we have co-sponsored three funds with Citigroup
Alternative Investments LLC: CT Mezzanine Partners I LLC, CT Mezzanine Partners
II LP and CT Mezzanine Partners III, Inc., which we refer to as Fund I, Fund II
and Fund III, respectively.

Recent Developments

On May 11, 2004, we closed on the initial tranche of a direct public offering of
class A common shares to designated controlled affiliates of W. R. Berkley
Corporation, which we refer to as Berkley. We issued 1,310,000 shares of our
class A common stock and stock purchase warrants to purchase 365,000 shares of
our class A common stock for a total purchase price of $30.7 million. On June
21, 2004, we closed on the second tranche of the direct public offering and
issued an additional 325,000 shares of our class A common stock for a total
purchase price of $7.6 million. The warrants have an exercise price of $23.40
per share and expire on December 31, 2004. Pursuant to a director designation
right granted to Berkley in the transaction, we appointed Joshua A. Polan to our
board of directors.

In June and July of 2004, CT Investment Management Co. was approved as a Special
Servicer by Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service.
These approvals allow CT Investment Management Co. to act as a named Special
Servicer for CMBS and B Note investments. As Special Servicer, CT Investment
Management Co. will increase the control it has in managing certain portions of
our portfolio while potentially generating additional fee income. Approval from
the agencies was based upon, among other things, our experience in managing and
working out problem assets, our established asset management policies and
procedures and our technology systems. We believe our ability to be a Special
Servicer improves the asset management of our existing portfolio, and
facilitates our planned increase in our CMBS and B Note investment activity.

On July 20, 2004, we closed a $320.8 million issue of collateralized debt
obligations, commonly known as CDOs, which were privately offered to
institutional investors. In connection with the issuance of the CDOs, we closed
on the following related transactions:

o we purchased a $251.2 million portfolio of floating rate B Notes and
mezzanine loans from GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation;
o we contributed those assets, along with $72.9 million of B Notes,
mezzanine loans and subordinate CMBS from our own portfolio, to Capital
Trust RE CDO 2004-1 Ltd, our wholly-owned subsidiary that we call the
Issuer;
o the Issuer issued $320.8 million of floating rate CDOs secured by the
Issuer's assets;
o the Issuer sold all of the $252.8 million of CDOs that are rated
investment grade to third-party investors; and
o we acquired and retained all of the $68.1 million of unrated and below
investment grade rated CDOs in addition to ownership of all of the
Issuer's $3.2 million of equity.

Taken together, we refer to these related transactions as the CDO-1 transaction.


-17-
We will consolidate the Issuer into our financial statements,  with the entity's
investments shown as loans receivable and the investment grade notes held by
third-parties shown as direct liabilities on our balance sheet. As a result of
the CDO-1 transaction, our balance sheet assets increased by $251.2 million and
we recorded $252.8 million of CDOs as liabilities at the time of the closing.

The GMAC Commercial Mortgage assets contributed to the Issuer are comprised of
40 floating rate B Notes and one mezzanine loan with an aggregate balance of
$251.2 million. The assets contributed by us consist of seven B Notes, mezzanine
loans and subordinate CMBS with an aggregate balance of $72.9 million. Together,
the Issuer's initial portfolio represents a combination of large-and
small-balance commercial real estate mezzanine investments, ranging in size from
$575,489 to $31.9 million with an average balance of $6.8 million and a weighted
average remaining contractual life of 19.9 months. Excluding CMBS, senior
mortgage debt secured by the underlying properties totals $1.7 billion and the
initial portfolio has a weighted average last dollar loan-to-value ratio of
68.2% based on third-party appraisals. All the assets but one are floating rate,
with a weighted average rate of LIBOR plus 4.59%.

The Issuer issued 10 classes of CDOs that are rated AAA to NR with a total face
amount of $320.8 million of which nine classes mature in July 2039 and one class
matures in July 2019. The governing documents provide for a four year
reinvestment period, commencing on July 20, 2004, during which principal
proceeds from the repayment, amortization and sale of assets may be reinvested
in qualifying replacement B Notes, mezzanine loans and subordinate CMBS based
upon criteria agreed upon with the rating agencies. In certain circumstances,
including the failure of interest coverage and over-collateralization tests,
reinvestment may be suspended and principal proceeds will be used to amortize
the CDOs sequentially in order of seniority until the Issuer or its collateral
is brought back into compliance with the applicable test(s). Subsequent to the
end of the reinvestment period, principal proceeds will be directed to repay the
senior-most class of CDOs outstanding at that time. The CDOs are callable at par
at our option as the holder of the entire equity in the Issuer commencing two
years after July 20, 2004. The weighted average rate on the investment grade
CDOs is LIBOR plus 0.62%.

The CDO-1 transaction provides us with a number of significant benefits
including:

o increasing our balance sheet interest earning assets by $251.2 million,
a 61% increase compared to March 31, 2004;
o creating long-term, non-recourse financing at an all-in borrowing cost
that is significantly lower than our existing sources of debt capital;
o obtaining long term, floating rate financing that matches both the
interest rate index and duration of our assets;
o extending the useful life of the financing through a four year
reinvestment period during which principal proceeds from the initial CDO
assets can be reinvested in qualifying replacement assets; and
o establishing us as a CDO issuer and collateral manager, which we believe
will facilitate our issuance of additional CDOs in the future.

On July 28, 2004, we closed on a public offering of our class A common stock
pursuant to which we sold 1,828,289 shares and certain selling shareholders sold
2,136,711 shares obtained upon the concurrent conversion of $44,871,000 of our
outstanding convertible junior subordinated debentures. All of the 4,025,000
shares were sold to the public at a price of $23.75 per share. After payment of
underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses, we expect net proceeds from
the offering to be approximately $42.0 million.

We agreed in principal to obtain certain outsourced services from Global Realty
Outsourcing, Inc., referred to as GRO, a company in which we have an equity
investment and on whose board of directors our president and chief executive
officer serves. Pursuant to the proposed agreement, GRO will provide seventeen
dedicated employees to assist us in monitoring assets and evaluating potential
investments, fifteen of whom will be located in Chennai, India. GRO began
performing these services for us in April 2004 in advance of concluding
negotiation of the definative agreement.

Balance Sheet Overview

At March 31, 2004, we had four investments in Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation Gold securities with a face value of $15,989,000. These securities
were sold during the second quarter resulting in a gain of $300,000 to their
amortized cost.


-18-
We held  twenty-one  investments  in  fourteen  separate  issues  of  commercial
mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate face value of $251,880,000 at June
30, 2004. Commercial mortgage-backed securities with a face value of $41,367,000
earn interest at a variable rate that averages the LIBOR plus 3.04% (4.28% at
June 30, 2004). The remaining commercial mortgage-backed securities,
$210,512,000 face value, earn interest at fixed rates averaging 7.70% of the
face value. We purchased the commercial mortgage-backed securities at discounts.
As of June 30, 2004, the remaining discount to be amortized into income over the
remaining lives of the securities was $23,103,000. At June 30, 2004, with
discount amortization, the commercial mortgage-backed securities earn interest
at a blended rate of 8.73% of the face value less the unamortized discount. As
of June 30, 2004, the securities were carried at fair value of $195,037,000,
reflecting a $33,739,000 unrealized loss to their amortized cost.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we purchased or originated one
property mezzanine loan for $23,500,000 and two B Notes for $23,593,000,
received partial repayments on ten mortgage and property mezzanine loans
totaling $7,493,000 and full satisfaction of one property mezzanine loan and one
B Note totaling $16,853,000. At June 30, 2004, we had outstanding loans
receivable totaling approximately $206.5 million.

At June 30, 2004, we had fifteen performing loans receivable with a current
carrying value of $203,459,000. One of the loans for $48,819,000 bears interest
at a fixed rate of interest of 11.98%. The fourteen remaining loans, totaling
$154,640,000, bear interest at a variable rate of interest averaging LIBOR plus
5.77% (7.15% at June 30, 2004 including LIBOR floors). One mortgage loan
receivable with an original principal balance of $8,000,000 reached maturity on
July 15, 2001 and has not been repaid with respect to principal and interest. In
December 2002, the loan was written down to $4,000,000 through a charge to the
allowance for possible credit losses. Since the write-down, we have received
proceeds of $962,000 reducing the carrying value of the loan to $3,038,000. In
accordance with our policy for revenue recognition, income recognition has been
suspended on this loan and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, $449,000 of
potential interest income has not been recorded. All other loans are performing
in accordance with their terms.

At June 30, 2004, we had investments in funds of $21,193,000, including
$6,073,000 of unamortized costs that were capitalized in connection with
entering into our venture agreement with Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC
and the commencement of the related fund management business. These costs are
being amortized over the lives of the funds and the venture agreement and are
reflected as a reduction in income/(loss) from equity investments in funds.

We utilize borrowings under a committed credit facility, along with repurchase
obligations, to finance our balance sheet assets and we recently utilized CDOs
as a source of financing for the first time in connection with the CDO-1
transaction.

At June 30, 2004, we had $50,000,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $150.0
million credit facility, of which $32.5 million of the remaining $100 million of
available credit may be borrowed without the need to pledge additional
collateral assets, which we believe provides us with adequate liquidity for our
short-term needs over the next 12-month period. The credit facility provides for
advances to fund lender-approved loans and investments made by us. Borrowings
under the credit facility are secured by pledges of assets owned by us.
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at specified spreads over
LIBOR, which spreads vary based upon the perceived risk of the pledged assets.
The credit facility provides for margin calls on asset-specific borrowings in
the event of asset quality and/or market value deterioration as determined under
the credit facility. The credit facility contains customary representations and
warranties, covenants and conditions and events of default. Based upon
borrowings in place at June 30, 2004, the effective rate on the credit facility
was LIBOR plus 1.51% (2.62% at June 30, 2004). As of June 30, 2004, we had
capitalized costs of $901,000 that are being amortized over the remaining life
of the facility (12.5 months at June 30, 2004). After amortizing these costs to
interest expense, the all-in effective borrowing cost on the facility as of June
30, 2004 was 4.32% based upon the amount currently outstanding on the credit
facility.

At December 31, 2003, we had borrowed $11,651,000 under a $75 million term
redeemable securities contract. This term redeemable securities contract expired
on February 28, 2004 and was repaid by refinancing the previously financed
assets under the credit facility.

In connection with the sale of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Gold
available-for-sale securities we repurchased the assets that were financed under
a repurchase obligation and terminated the contract.


-19-
In the first quarter of 2004, we entered another  repurchase  obligation with an
existing provider in connection with the purchase of a loan. This repurchase
agreement comes due monthly and has a current maturity date in August 2004.

A repurchase obligation that was entered into on May 28, 2003 was extended
during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and now terminates on June 1, 2006, with
an automatic nine-month amortizing extension option, if not otherwise extended.

At June 30, 2004, we had total outstanding repurchase obligations of
$178,944,000. Based upon advances in place at June 30, 2004, the blended rate on
the repurchase obligations is LIBOR plus 1.09% (2.21% at June 30, 2004). We had
capitalized costs of $306,000 as of June 30, 2004, which are being amortized
over the remaining lives of the repurchase obligations. After amortizing these
costs to interest expense based upon the amount currently outstanding on the
repurchase obligations, the all-in effective borrowing cost on the repurchase
obligations as of June 30, 2004 was 2.30%. We expect to enter into new
repurchase obligations at their maturity or settle the repurchase obligations
with the proceeds from the repayment of the underlying financed asset.

We were party to two cash flow interest rate swaps with a total notional value
of $109 million as of June 30, 2004. These cash flow interest rate swaps
effectively convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt, which is utilized to
finance assets that earn interest at fixed rates. We receive a rate equal to
LIBOR (1.11% at June 30, 2004) and pay an average rate of 4.24%. The market
value of the swaps at June 30, 2004 was an asset of $3,071,000, which is
recorded as interest rate hedge assets and as an offset to accumulated other
comprehensive loss on our balance sheet.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation
No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin 51. Interpretation No. 46 provides guidance on
identifying entities for which control is achieved through means other than
through voting rights, and how to determine when and which business enterprise
should consolidate a variable interest entity. In addition, Interpretation No.
46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a
significant variable interest in a variable interest entity make additional
disclosures. The transitional disclosure requirements took effect almost
immediately and are required for all financial statements initially issued after
January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued a revision of Interpretation No. 46, Interpretation No. 46R, to clarify
the provisions of Interpretation No. 46. The application of Interpretation No.
46R is effective for public companies, other than small business issuers, after
March 15, 2004. We have evaluated all of our investments and other interests in
entities that may be deemed variable interest entities under the provisions of
Interpretation No. 46 and have concluded that no additional entities need to be
consolidated.

In evaluating Interpretation No. 46R, we concluded that we could no longer
consolidate CT Convertible Trust I, the entity which had purchased our step up
convertible junior subordinated debentures and issued company-obligated,
mandatory redeemable, convertible trust common and preferred securities. We had
issued the convertible junior subordinated debentures and had purchased the
convertible trust common securities. The consolidation of CT Convertible Trust I
resulted in the elimination of both the convertible junior subordinated
debentures and the convertible trust common securities with the convertible
trust preferred securities being reported on our balance sheet after liabilities
but before equity and the related expense being reported on the income statement
below income taxes and net of income tax benefits. After the deconsolidation, we
report the convertible junior subordinated debentures as liabilities and the
convertible trust common securities as other assets. The expense from the
payment of interest on the debentures is reported as interest and related
expenses on convertible junior subordinated debentures and the income received
from our investment in the common securities is reported as a component of
interest and related income. We have elected to restate prior periods for the
application of Interpretation 46R. The restatement was effected by a cumulative
type change in accounting principle on January 1, 2002. There was no change to
previously reported net income as a result of such restatement.

As of June 30, 2004, we had $92,524,000 aggregate principal amount of our
convertible junior subordinated debentures outstanding. The holders converted
$44,871,000 of the convertible junior subordinated debentures in connection with
the closing of our public offering of class A common stock on July 28, 2004. The
convertible junior subordinated debentures are convertible into shares of class
A common stock, in increments of $1,000 in liquidation amount, at a conversion
price of $21.00 per share and are redeemable by us, in whole or in part, on or
after September 30, 2004.

Distributions on the outstanding convertible junior subordinated debentures are
payable quarterly in arrears on each calendar quarter-end. The convertible
junior subordinated debentures bear interest at 10% through September 30,


-20-
2004.  The  interest  rate  increases  by 0.75% on  October  1, 2004 and on each
October 1 thereafter. If the quarterly dividend paid on a share of our class A
common stock multiplied by four and divided by $21.00 is in excess of the
interest rate in effect at that time, then the holders are entitled to be paid
additional interest at that rate.

In 2000, we announced an open market share repurchase program under which we may
purchase, from time to time, up to 666,667 shares of our class A common stock.
Since that time the authorization has been increased by the board of directors
to purchase cumulatively up to 2,366,923 shares of class A common stock. In June
30, 2004 we had 666,339 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the
program.

At June 30, 2004, we had 8,300,343 shares of our class A common stock
outstanding.

Investment Management Overview

We operated principally as a balance sheet investor until the start of our
investment management business in March 2000 when we entered into a venture with
affiliates of Citigroup Alternative Investments to co-sponsor and invest capital
in a series of commercial real estate mezzanine investment funds managed by us.
Pursuant to the venture agreement, we have co-sponsored with Citigroup
Alternative Investments Fund I, Fund II and Fund III. We have capitalized costs
of $6,073,000, net, from the formation of the venture and the Funds that are
being amortized over the remaining anticipated lives of the Funds and the
related venture agreement.

Fund I commenced its investment operations in May 2000 with equity capital
supplied solely by Citigroup Alternative Investments (75%) and us (25%). From
May 11, 2000 to April 8, 2001, the investment period for the fund, Fund I
completed $330 million of total investments in 12 transactions. On January 31,
2003, we purchased from an affiliate of Citigroup Alternative Investments its
interest in Fund I and began consolidating the operations of Fund I in our
consolidated financial statements.

Fund II had its initial closing on equity commitments on April 9, 2001 and its
final closing on August 7, 2001, ultimately raising $845.2 million of total
equity commitments, including $49.7 million (5.9%) from us and $198.9 million
(23.5%) from Citigroup Alternative Investments. Third-party private equity
investors, including public and corporate pension plans, endowment funds,
financial institutions and high net worth individuals, made the balance of the
equity commitments. During its two-year investment period, which expired on
April 9, 2003, Fund II invested $1.2 billion in 40 separate transactions. Fund
II utilizes leverage to increase its return on equity, with a target
debt-to-equity ratio of 2:1. Total capital calls during the investment period
were $329.0 million. CT Investment Management Co. LLC, our wholly-owned taxable
REIT subsidiary, acts as the investment manager to Fund II and receives 100% of
the base management fees paid by the fund. As of April 9, 2003, the end of the
Fund II investment period, CT Investment Management Co. began earning annual
base management fees of 1.287% of invested capital. Based upon Fund II's
invested capital at June 30, 2004, the date upon which the calculation for the
next quarter is based, CT Investment Management Co. will earn base management
fees of $400,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2004.

We and Citigroup Alternative Investments, through our collective ownership of
the general partner, are also entitled to receive incentive management fees from
Fund II if the return on invested equity is in excess of 10% after all invested
capital has been returned. The Fund II incentive management fees are split
equally between Citigroup Alternative Investments and us. We will pay 25% of our
share of the Fund II incentive management fees as long-term incentive
compensation to our employees. No such incentive fees have been earned at June
30, 2004 and as such, no amount has been accrued as income for such potential
fees in our financial statements. The amount of incentive fees to be received in
the future will depend upon a number of factors, including the level of interest
rates and the fund's ability to generate returns in excess of 10%, which is in
turn impacted by the duration and ultimate performance of the fund's assets.
Potential incentive fees received as Fund II winds down could result in
significant additional income from operations in certain periods during which
such payments can be recorded as income. If Fund II's assets were sold and
liabilities were settled on July 1, 2004 at the recorded book value, net of the
allowance for possible credit losses, and the fund's equity and income were
distributed, we would record approximately $7.6 million of gross incentive fees.

We do not anticipate making any additional equity contributions to Fund II or
its general partner. Our net investment in Fund II and its general partner at
June 30, 2004 was $8.8 million. As of June 30, 2004, Fund II had 18 outstanding
loans and investments totaling $324.1 million, all of which were performing in
accordance with the terms of their agreements.


-21-
On June 2, 2003, Fund III effected its initial closing on equity commitments and
on August 8, 2003, its final closing, raising a total of $425.0 million in
equity commitments. Our equity commitment was $20.0 million (4.7%) and Citigroup
Alternative Investments' equity commitment was $80.0 million (18.8%), with the
balance made by third-party private equity investors. From the initial closing
through June 30, 2004, we have made equity investments in Fund III of
$6,300,000. As of June 30, 2004, Fund III had thirteen outstanding loans and
investments totaling $386.1 million, all of which were performing in accordance
with the terms of their agreements.

CT Investment Management Co. receives 100% of the base management fees from Fund
III calculated at a rate equal to 1.42% per annum of committed capital during
Fund III's two-year investment period, which expires June 2, 2005, and 1.42% of
invested capital thereafter. Based upon Fund III's $425.0 million of total
equity commitments, CT Investment Management Co. will earn annual base
management fees of $6.0 million during the investment period. We and Citigroup
Alternative Investments are also entitled to receive incentive management fees
from Fund III if the return on invested equity is in excess of 10% after all
invested capital has been returned. We will receive 62.5% and Citigroup
Alternative Investments will receive 37.5% of the total incentive management
fees. We expect to distribute a portion of our share of the Fund III incentive
management fees as long-term incentive compensation to our employees.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended
June 30, 2003

We reported net income of $3,540,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004,
an increase of $954,000 from the net income of $2,586,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2003. We reported net income of $6,622,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1,491,000 from the net income of $5,131,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2003. These increases were primarily the
result of an increase in management and advisory fees from Funds. Since the
investment period for Fund III did not commence until June 2003, we earned only
one month of base management fees during both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2003, while in 2004 we collected base management fees on Fund III for
the each month in the respective three and six month periods. Also, increases in
net income from loans and investments resulted from of our use of the proceeds
from the sale of common stock in May and June of 2004 to reduce debt.

Interest and related income from loans and other investments amounted to
$18,190,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $424,000 from
the $17,766,000 amount for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Average
interest-earning assets increased from approximately $350.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $398.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004. The average interest rate earned on such assets decreased
from 10.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 9.2% for the six months
ended June 30, 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we recognized
$367,000 in additional income on the early repayment of loans. Without this
additional interest income, the earning rate for the 2003 period would have been
9.9%. LIBOR rates averaged 1.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 1.3%
for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of 0.2%. The remaining
decrease in rates was due to the repayment of two fixed rates loans (which
earned interest at rates in excess of the portfolio average) and a change in the
mix of our investment portfolio to include lower risk B Notes in 2004 (which
generally carry lower interest rates than mezzanine loans and can be financed at
lower rates).

Interest and related income from loans and other investments amounted to
$9,172,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, a increase of $435,000 from
the $8,737,000 amount for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Average
interest-earning assets increased from approximately $348.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $411.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004. The average interest rate earned on such assets
decreased from 10.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 8.9% for the
three months ended June 30, 2004. LIBOR rates averaged 1.2% for the three months
ended June 30, 2004 and 1.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a
decrease of 0.1%. The remaining decrease in rates was again due to the repayment
of two fixed rate loans and a change in the mix of our investment portfolio to
include lower risk B Notes in 2004.

We utilize our existing credit facility and repurchase obligations to finance
our interest-earning assets.

Interest and related expenses on secured debt amounted to $5,090,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $337,000 from the $4,753,000 amount
for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in expense was due to an
increase in the amount of average interest-bearing liabilities outstanding from
approximately $208.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to
approximately $219.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and an
increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.6% to 4.7%
for the same periods. The increase in the average rate is substantially due to
an increase in the rate paid on repurchase


-22-
agreements,  which increased from 2.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to
2.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This rate increase resulted from a
significant decrease in Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation securities, which
were sold in June 2004, and which had been financed at LIBOR flat.

Interest and related expenses on secured debt amounted to $2,454,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $4,000 from the $2,458,000
amount for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in expense was due
to an increase in the amount of average interest-bearing liabilities outstanding
from approximately $204.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to
approximately $219.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, offset by
a decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.8% to 4.5%
for the same periods. The decrease in the average rate paid on borrowings is due
to lower spreads being applied to financed assets due to the increased liquidity
and lower risk of B Notes.

We also utilize the convertible junior subordinated debentures to finance our
interest-earning assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and
2003, we recognized $2,432,000 and $4,865,000, respectively, of expenses related
to the convertible junior subordinated debentures, as the amount and terms of
the debt were the same in both periods.

Other revenues increased $786,000 from $1,984,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 to $2,770,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and
$1,092,000 from $4,164,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to
$5,256,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase is primarily
due to the management fees received from Fund III in 2004, as Fund III did not
commence its investment period until June 2003, and the recognition of a
$300,000 gain on the sale of available-for-sale securities. This was partially
offset by a decrease in the earnings from Fund II, due to lower levels of
investment in 2004 as the fund winds down.

General and administrative expenses increased $165,000 to $3,154,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2004 from $2,989,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due
to costs incurred in being approved as a Special Servicer and additional
expenses related to the proposed outsourced services agreement with GRO.

General and administrative expenses decreased $601,000 to $6,092,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 from $6,693,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2003. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to
reduced employee compensation offset by costs incurred in being approved as a
Special Servicer and additional expenses related to the proposed GRO agreement.

We intend to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the tax year ending
December 31, 2003. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income
tax. To maintain qualification as a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our
REIT taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain other requirements. If
we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal
income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We may also be
subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property. Under
certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be due on our
undistributed taxable income. At June 30, 2004, we were in compliance with all
REIT requirements and as such, have only provided for income tax expense on
taxable income attributed to our taxable REIT subsidiaries during the three
months ended June 30, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2004, we had $39,865,000 in cash. Our primary sources of liquidity
for 2004 are expected to be cash on hand, cash generated from operations,
principal and interest payments received on loans and investments, additional
borrowings under our credit facility, CDOs and repurchase obligations and
proceeds from the sale of securities. We believe these sources of capital are
adequate to meet future cash requirements for the remainder of 2004. We expect
that during 2004, we will use a significant amount of our available capital
resources to satisfy capital contributions required pursuant to our equity
commitments to Fund III and to originate or purchase new loans and investments
for our balance sheet. We intend to continue to employ leverage on our balance
sheet assets to enhance our return on equity.

We experienced a net increase in cash of $31,127,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2004, compared to a net decrease of $4,603,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2003. Cash provided by operating activities during the six months
ended June 30, 2004 was $4,004,000, compared to $2,516,000 during the same
period of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, cash used in investing
activities was $37,167,000, compared to cash provided of


-23-
$5,509,000  during the same period in 2003. The change was primarily due our new
loan and investment activity totaling $82.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2004. We financed the new investment activity with additional
borrowings under our credit facility, term redeemable securities contract and
repurchase obligations. This along with the cash received from our direct public
offering to Berkley accounted for substantially all of the change in the net
cash activity from financing activities.

During the investment periods for Fund I and Fund II, we generally did not
originate or acquire loans or commercial mortgage-backed securities directly for
our own balance sheet portfolio. When the Fund II investment period ended, we
began originating loans and investments for our own account as permitted by the
provisions of Fund III. We expect to use our available working capital to make
contributions to Fund III or any other funds sponsored by us as and when
required by the equity commitments made by us to such funds.

At June 30, 2004, we had outstanding borrowings under our credit facility of
$50,000,000, and outstanding repurchase obligations totaling $178,944,000. The
terms of these agreements are described above under the caption "Balance Sheet
Overview". At June 30, 2004, we had pledged assets that enable us to borrow an
additional $33.0 million and had $243.2 million of credit available for the
financing of new and existing unpledged assets pursuant to these sources of
financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Impact of Inflation

Our operating results depend in part on the difference between the interest
income earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred
in connection with our interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the general
level of interest rates prevailing in the economy in response to changes in the
rate of inflation or otherwise can affect our income by affecting the spread
between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well
as, among other things, the value of our interest-earning assets and our ability
to realize gains from the sale of assets and the average life of our
interest-earning assets. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors,
including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international
economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. We
employ the use of correlated hedging strategies to limit the effects of changes
in interest rates on our operations, including engaging in interest rate swaps
and interest rate caps to minimize our exposure to changes in interest rates.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the
foregoing risks or that we will ultimately realize an economic benefit from any
hedging contract into which we enter.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The principal objective of our 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, we use
interest rate swaps to effectively convert fixed rate assets to variable rate
assets for proper matching with variable rate liabilities and variable rate
liabilities to fixed rate liabilities for proper matching with 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 we do not use derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes. We use interest rate swaps to effectively convert variable rate debt
to fixed rate debt for the financed portion of fixed rate assets. The
differential to be paid or received on these agreements is recognized as an
adjustment to the interest expense related to debt and is recognized on the
accrual basis.

The following table provides information about our financial instruments that
are sensitive to changes in interest rates at June 30, 2004. For financial
assets and debt obligations, the table presents cash flows to the expected
maturity and weighted average interest rates based upon the current carrying
values. 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.
