Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2005 and 2004 (unaudited) 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 private equity 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 as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, 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, 2004. 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 months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2005. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts, our wholly-owned subsidiaries and our interests in variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. 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 Policy During the fourth quarter of 2004, we elected to adopt the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 using the modified prospective method provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". Under the modified prospective method, we recognized stock-based employee compensation costs based upon the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 effective January 1, 2004 and have restated previously reported quarterly results to reflect the adoption. Compensation expense is recognized on the accelerated attribution method under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28. 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. Restricted Cash Restricted cash of $8,830,000 at March 31, 2005 is on deposit with the trustee for the CDOs and will be used to purchase replacement loans (either from third parties or us) as collateral for the CDOs. -5-
Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (unaudited) 5. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we made one investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS. The security had a face value and purchase price of $5,000,000 and bears interest at a variable rate interest equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 2.10%. At March 31, 2005, we held twenty investments in fifteen separate issues of CMBS with an aggregate face value of $270,667,000. CMBS with a face value of $66,216,000 earn interest at a variable rate which averages LIBOR plus 2.26% (5.07% at March 31, 2005). The remaining CMBS, $204,451,000 face value, earn interest at fixed rates averaging 7.60% of face value. In the aggregate, we purchased the CMBS at discounts. As of March 31, 2005, the remaining discount to be amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $21,911,000. At March 31, 2005, with discount amortization, the CMBS earn interest at a blended rate of 8.25% of face value less the unamortized discount. As of March 31, 2005, the securities were carried at market value of $244,214,000, reflecting other than temporary write-downs taken in 2004 on two securities of $5,275,000, and a $732,000 net unrealized gain to their amortized cost. 6. Loans Receivable At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our loans receivable consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2005 2004 ------------------- ------------------- First mortgage loans $ 3,038 $ 3,038 Property mezzanine loans 142,664 159,506 B Notes 534,326 393,620 ------------------- ------------------- Total loans $ 680,028 $ 556,164 =================== =================== One first mortgage loan with an original principal balance of $8,000,000 matured on July 15, 2001 but 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, proceeds of $962,000 have reduced 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 potential interest income of $251,000 has not been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2005. All other loans are performing in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we purchased or originated one property mezzanine loan for $21,210,000 and eleven B Notes for $179,914,000, received partial repayments on four property mezzanine loans and 24 B Notes totaling $15,371,000 and two property mezzanine loans and three B Notes totaling $61,676,000 were satisfied and repaid. We have no outstanding loan commitments at March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2005, the weighted average interest rates in effect, including amortization of fees and premiums, for our performing loans receivable were as follows: Property mezzanine loans 9.14% B Notes 6.66% Total Loans 7.18% At March 31, 2005, $575,272,000 (85%) of the aforementioned performing loans bear interest at floating rates ranging from LIBOR plus 160 basis points to LIBOR plus 861 basis points. The remaining $101,718,000 (15%) of loans bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 7.00% to 11.67%. -6-
Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (unaudited) 7. Equity investment in Funds During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, through the general partner of Fund II, we received $6,214,000 of incentive management fees from Fund II. In connection with receipt of the incentive management fees, Fund II GP, which is 50% owned by us and the general partner of Fund II, expensed costs that it had previously capitalized of $2,050,000, of which $1,025,000 flowed through to us. The payment of the incentive management fees by Fund II reduced the value of our investment in Fund II and Fund II GP by $852,000, reflecting our proportionate share of the incentive management payment. 8. Long-Term Debt Credit Facility At March 31, 2005, we have a $150 million committed credit facility with no borrowings outstanding. We have pledged assets of $52,185,000 as collateral for borrowings against such credit facility and are able to borrow $29,579,000 without pledging any additional collateral. Repurchase Obligations On March 4, 2005, we entered into a new master repurchase agreement with a securities dealer that provides us with the right to finance up to $75,000,000 of the value of our assets. At March 31, 2005, we have pledged three assets with a book value of $36,790,000 as collateral for future repurchase obligation financing. If we fully drew upon these pledged assets, we could obtain $31,272,000 of financing. The master repurchase agreement terminates on March 4, 2010, and bears interest at specified rates over LIBOR based upon each asset financed. The average borrowing rate in effect for all the repurchase obligations outstanding at March 31, 2005 was LIBOR plus 0.88% (3.74% at March 31, 2005). 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 3.95% at March 31, 2005. If all of the assets pledged under repurchase obligations were drawn upon, we could obtain an additional $55,165,000 of financing. Collateralized Debt Obligations On March 15, 2005, we issued to third party investors five tranches of investment grade collateralized debt obligations, commonly known as CDOs, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Capital Trust RE CDO 2005-1 Ltd., which we refer to as CDO 2005-1. In the transaction, CDO 2005-1 issued investment grade rated CDOs with a principal amount of $298,913,000, and we purchased through another wholly-owned subsidiary the remaining tranches of unrated and below investment grade rated CDOs and the preferred equity interests issued by CDO 2005-1. CDO 2005-1 holds assets, consisting of loans, CMBS and cash totaling $337,755,000, which serve as collateral for the CDOs. The five investment grade tranches were issued with floating rate coupons with a combined weighted average rate of LIBOR plus 0.49% (3.32% at March 31, 2005) and have a remaining expected average maturity of 7.3 years as of March 31, 2005. We incurred $5,223,000 of issuance costs which will be amortized on a level yield basis over the average life of CDO 2005-1. CDO 2005-1 was structured to match fund the cash flows from a significant portion of our existing B notes, mezzanine loans and CMBS. For accounting purposes, CDO 2005-1 is consolidated in our financial statements. The five investment grade tranches are treated as a secured financing, and are non-recourse to us. Proceeds from the sale of the five investment grade tranches issued by CDO 2005-1 were used to pay down the credit facility and repurchase obligations. The assets pledged as collateral in CDO 2005-1 were contributed from our existing portfolio of loans and CMBS. -7-

Derivative Financial Instruments The following table summarizes the notional and fair values of our derivative financial instruments at March 31, 2005. The notional value provides an indication of the extent of our involvement in the instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or foreign exchange market risks. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Interest Hedge Type Notional Value Rate Maturity Fair Value - ----------- -------------------- ----------------- ---------------- ------------ --------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Swap Cash Flow Hedge $85,000,000 4.2425% 2015 $ 2,011,000 Swap Cash Flow Hedge 74,094,000 4.5840% 2014 456,000 Swap Cash Flow Hedge 19,378,000 3.9500% 2011 651,000 Swap Cash Flow Hedge 5,542,000 3.1175% 2007 114,000 </TABLE> During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we received $373,000 from the counterparty in settlement of an interest rate swap, which has been deferred and is being amortized over the remaining life of the previously hedged item on a level yield basis. We also entered into a new cash flow hedge during the first quarter of 2005. On March 31, 2005, the derivative financial instruments were reported at their fair value of $3,232,000 as interest rate hedge assets. 10. Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the calculation of Basic and Diluted EPS: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- Per Share Per Share Net Income Shares Amount Net Loss Shares Amount -------------------------------------------- ------------- ----------------- ----------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Basic EPS: Net earnings per share of common stock $ 9,150,000 15,087,753 $ 0.61 $ 3,052,000 6,583,412 $ 0.46 ============== =========== Effect of Dilutive Securities Options outstanding for the purchase of common stock -- 178,731 -- 120,560 Stock units outstanding convertible to shares of common stock -- 53,967 -- 26,102 --------------- -------------- -------------- ---------------- Diluted EPS: Net earnings per share of common stock and assumed conversions $ 9,150,000 15,320,451 $ 0.60 $ 3,052,000 6,730,074 $ 0.46 =============== ============= ============= ============== ================= =========== </TABLE> 11. Income Taxes We made 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 ended December 31, 2003. As a REIT, we are generally 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 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 March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements. -8-
Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (unaudited) During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we recorded $1,267,000 of income tax expense for income attributable to taxable REIT subsidiaries. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2003 attributable to taxable REIT subsidiaries was 42.5%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% and the effective tax rate was primarily state and local taxes, net of federal tax benefit. 12. 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 our REIT taxable income and must distribute 100% of our 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 March 21, 2005, we declared a dividend of approximately $8,315,000, or $0.55 per share of common stock applicable to the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, payable on April 15, 2005 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2005. 13. Employee Benefit Plans Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we did not issue any options to acquire shares of class A common stock. The following table summarizes the option activity under the incentive stock plan for the quarter ended March 31, 2005: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Weighted Average Options Exercise Price Exercise Price Outstanding per Share per Share ------------------- ------------------------- ------------------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Outstanding at January 1, 2005 458,998 $12.375 - $30.00 $ 19.67 Granted in 2005 -- -- -- Exercised in 2005 (9,622) $12.375 - $18.00 13.86 Canceled in 2005 -- -- -- ------------------- ------------------ Outstanding at March 31, 2005 449,376 $12.375 - $30.00 $ 19.79 =================== ================== </TABLE> At March 31, 2005, all of the options are exercisable. At March 31, 2005, the outstanding options have various remaining contractual exercise periods ranging from 0.75 to 6.84 years with a weighted average life of 4.22 years. Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan In the first quarter of 2005, we issued 21,448 shares of common stock to John R. Klopp as a result of the attainment of 2004 annual performance measures set forth in the related performance award, 50% of which are subject to further time vesting in one-third increments on each of January 1, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and 50% of which are subject to further performance vesting as performance stock and vest, if at all, on December 31, 2008 if total shareholder return exceeds 13% during the period from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2008. In the first quarter of 2005, we issued 56,073 shares of common stock to other employees pursuant to restricted stock and performance unit awards. Pursuant to the awards, 50% of the shares vest as restricted stock in equal one-third increments on each of February 4, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and 50% of the shares are subject to performance vesting as performance stock and vest, if at all, on February 4, 2009 if total shareholder return exceeds 13% during the period from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2008. Compensation expense for stock awards is recognized on the accelerated attribution method under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28. -9-

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. From the commencement of our finance business in 1997 through March 31, 2005, we have completed over $4.8 billion of real estate-related investments both directly and on behalf of our managed funds. We conduct our operations as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. 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. Since commencement of our investment management business in March 2000, we have co-sponsored three funds: 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. Balance Sheet Overview During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we purchased one investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities. The security had a face value and purchase price of $5,000,000 and bears interest at a variable rate of interest of London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 2.10%. At March 31, 2005, we held twenty investments in fifteen separate issues of commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, with an aggregate face value of $270,667,000. CMBS with a face value of $66,216,000 earn interest at a variable rate which averages LIBOR, plus 2.26% (5.07% at March 31, 2005). The remaining CMBS, $204,451,000 face value, earn interest at fixed rates averaging 7.60% of face value. In the aggregate, we purchased the CMBS at discounts. As of March 31, 2005, the remaining discount to be amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $21,911,000. At March 31, 2005, with discount amortization, the CMBS earn interest at a blended rate of 8.25% of face value less the unamortized discount. As of March 31, 2005, the securities were carried at market value of $244,214,000, reflecting other than temporary write-downs taken in 2004 on two securities of $5,275,000, and a $732,000 unrealized gain to their amortized cost. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we purchased or originated one property mezzanine loan for $21,210,000 and eleven B Notes for $179,914,000, received partial repayments on four property mezzanine loans and 24 B Notes totaling $15,371,000, and two property mezzanine loans and three B Notes totaling $61,676,000 were satisfied and repaid. We have no outstanding loan commitments at March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2005, we had 74 performing loans receivable with a current carrying value of $676,990,000. Four of the loans totaling $101,718,000 bear interest at an average fixed rate of interest of 9.80%. The 70 remaining loans, totaling $575,272,000, bear interest at a variable rate of interest averaging LIBOR plus 3.88% (6.72% at March 31, 2005). One mortgage loan receivable with an original principal balance of $8,000,000 matured on July 15, 2001 but 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 quarter ended March 31, 2005, $251,000 of potential interest income was not recorded. All other loans are performing in accordance with their terms. On at least a quarterly basis, management reevaluates the reserve for possible credit losses based upon our current portfolio of loans. Each loan is evaluated using our proprietary loan risk rating system, which considers loan to value, debt yield, cash flow stability, exit plan, sponsorship, loan structure and any other factors necessary to assess the likelihood of delinquency or default. If we believe that there is a potential for delinquency or default, a downside analysis is prepared to estimate the value of the collateral underlying our loan, and this potential loss is multiplied by our estimate of the likelihood of default. Based upon our detailed review at March 31, 2005, we concluded that a reserve for possible credit losses was not warranted. -12-
At March 31, 2005, we had investments in Funds of $20,983,000, including $4,689,000 of unamortized costs 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. With our second issuance of collateralized debt obligations, commonly known as CDOs, we have substantially restructured the manner in which we finance our business. While we still use our committed credit facility and repurchase obligations to finance balance sheet assets, 83% of our debt is in the form of CDOs at March 31, 2005. The CDOs we have issued generally carry lower interest rates and allow for higher levels of leverage than our previously utilized financing sources. The use of CDOs to finance our business has allowed us to pursue new investments which carry less risk and lower returns and, by utilizing additional leverage, still obtain our desired leveraged returns. Our second issuance of CDOs on March 15, 2005 has solidified us as an established CDO issuer and collateral manager. Our $337.8 million second issue of CDOs through our wholly-owned subsidiary Capital Trust RE CDO 2005-1 Ltd., which we refer to as CDO 2005-1, created long-term, non-recourse financing at an all-in borrowing cost that is significantly lower than our pre-existing sources of debt capital. CDO 2005-1 is long-term, floating rate financing that matches both the interest rate index and duration of our assets. With its five year reinvestment period, during which principal proceeds from repayments of the initial CDO assets can be reinvested in qualifying replacement assets, we can utilize the financing in a manner very similar to a line of credit. In the transaction, we sold $298.9 million of investment grade rated CDOs to institutional investors and purchased through a wholly-owned subsidiary the four remaining tranches of unrated and below investment grade rated CDOs and the preferred equity interests issued by CDO 2005-1. CDO 2005-1 holds assets consisting of loans, CMBS and cash totaling $337.8 million, which serves as collateral for the CDOs. The five investment grade tranches were issued with floating rate coupons with a combined weighted average rate of LIBOR plus 0.49% (3.32% at March 31, 2005) and have a remaining expected average maturity of 7.3 years as of March 31, 2005. We incurred $5,223,000 of issuance costs which will be amortized on a level yield basis over the average life of CDO 2005-1. CDO 2005-1 was structured to match fund the cash flows from a significant portion of our existing B notes, mezzanine loans and CMBS. For accounting purposes, CDO 2005-1 is consolidated in our financial statements. The five investment grade tranches are treated as a secured financing, and are non-recourse to us. Proceeds from the sale of the five investment grade tranches issued by CDO 2005-1 were used to pay down the credit facility and repurchase obligations. The assets serving as collateral in CDO 2005-1 were contributed from our existing portfolio of loans and CMBS. CDO 2005-1, along with the CDOs we issued last year, provide us with $551.7 million of debt financing at a stated average interest rate of LIBOR + 0.55% (3.39% at March 31, 2005) and an all-in rate (including the amortization of fees) 0.31% higher. At March 31, 2005, we used repurchase agreements with one counterparty to finance a substantial portion of our CMBS portfolio. Under these obligations, at March 31, 2005, we had sold CMBS with a book and market value of $177,365,000 and had a liability to repurchase these assets for $113,884,000. The average borrowing rate on this financing is LIBOR plus 0.88% (3.74% at March 31, 2005). We also have a credit facility and other repurchase agreements which provide up to $461.1 million of additional credit, of which $84.8 million is available from the assets currently pledged as collateral. We would need to pledge additional existing or newly acquired assets to fully utilize all of the available credit. We were party to four cash flow interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $184 million as of March 31, 2005. 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 (2.84% at March 31, 2005) and pay an average rate of 4.32%. The market value of the swaps at March 31, 2005 was $3,232,000, which is recorded as an interest rate hedge asset and as a component of accumulated other comprehensive gain/(loss) on our balance sheet. At March 31, 2005, we had 15,087,753 shares of our class A common stock outstanding. -13-
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 $6,322,000, 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 has concluded its operations and been dissolved. 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 in 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. 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 Fund II's investment period, CT Investment Management Co. began earning annual base management fees calculated at a rate equal to 1.287% of invested capital. We and Citigroup Alternative Investments, through our collective ownership of the general partner of Fund II, which we refer to as Fund II GP, are 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. On March 29, 2005, we received our first such payment totaling $6,214,000 reflecting 50% of the total incentive management fees paid to the general partner. In connection with the receipt of the incentive management fees, Fund II GP, which is 50% owned by us and the general partner of Fund II, expensed costs that it had previously capitalized of $2,050,000, of which $1,025,000 flowed through to us. The payment of the incentive management fees by Fund II reduced the value of our investment in Fund II and Fund II GP by $852,000, reflecting our proportionate share of the incentive management payment. In addition, we have and will continue to pay 25% of our share of the Fund II incentive management fees as long-term incentive compensation to our employees. The amount of future additional incentive fees to be received will depend upon a number of factors, including the level of interest rates and the fund's ability to generate additional returns, 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 remaining assets were sold and liabilities were settled on April 1, 2005 at the recorded book value, and the fund's equity and income were distributed, we would record approximately $3.6 million of additional 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 March 31, 2005 was $3.2 million. As of March 31, 2005, Fund II had 8 outstanding loans and investments totaling $82.5 million, all of which were performing in accordance with the terms of their agreements. 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, including our equity commitment of $20.0 million (4.7%) and Citigroup Alternative Investments' equity commitment of $80.0 million (18.8%). The balance of equity commitments was made by third-party private equity investors. From the initial closing through March 31, 2005, we have made equity investments in Fund III of $13,020,000. Through March 31, 2005, Fund III had made 28 loans and investments of approximately $930 million. As of March 31, 2005, Fund III had 21 outstanding loans and investments totaling $667.8 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. We and our co-sponsor 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 our co-sponsor will receive 37.5% of the total incentive management fees. We will distribute a portion (up to 40%) of our share of the Fund III incentive management fees as long-term incentive compensation to our employees. -14-
Three months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Three months Ended March 31, 2004 We reported net income of $9,150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $6,098,000 from the net income of $3,052,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. These increases were primarily the result of an increase in net interest income from loans and other investments and the receipt of incentive management fees from Fund II. Since March 31, 2004, we raised significant new capital, increased interest earning assets, and financed our business more efficiently through the use of CDOs. As a result, debt costs as a percentage of interest income have decreased. Interest and related income from loans and other investments totaled $15,696,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $6,678,000 from the $9,018,000 amount for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Average interest-earning assets increased from approximately $385.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to approximately $822.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The average interest rate earned on such assets decreased from 9.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in rates was due primarily to a change in the mix of our investment portfolio to include more lower risk B Notes in 2005 (which generally carry lower interest rates than mezzanine loans) as higher rate mezzanine loans are paid down and a general decrease in spreads obtained on newly originated investments, partially offset by a higher average LIBOR rate, which increased by 1.5% from 1.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 2.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. We utilize our existing credit facility, collateralized debt obligations and repurchase obligations to finance our interest-earning assets. Interest and related expenses on secured debt amounted to $5,752,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $3,116,000 from the $2,636,000 amount for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in expense was due to an increase in the amount of average interest-bearing liabilities outstanding from approximately $218.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to approximately $546.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, offset partially by a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.8% to 4.2% for the same periods. The decrease in the average rate is substantially due to the use of CDOs to finance a large portion of the portfolio at lower rates than obtained under the credit facility and term redeemable securities contract, partially offset by the increase in average LIBOR. Prior to September 29, 2004, we also utilized the convertible junior subordinated debentures to finance our interest-earning assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recognized $2,433,000 of expenses related to the convertible junior subordinated debentures. No expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as the liability was extinguished in 2004 upon the conversion of one half of the principal amount due on the debentures into common stock on July 28, 2004 and the conversion of the remaining amount due on the debentures into common stock on September 29, 2004. Other revenues increased $4,021,000 from $2,486,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $6,507,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the receipt of incentive management fees from Fund II of $6,214,000. In connection with the receipt of the incentive management fees, Fund II GP, which is 50% owned by us and the general partner of Fund II, expensed costs that it had previously capitalized of $2,050,000, of which $1,025,000 flowed through to us. The payment of the incentive management fees by Fund II reduced the value of our investment in Fund II and Fund II GP by $852,000, reflecting our proportionate share of the incentive management payment. This was partially offset by a decrease in the management fees and investment income from Fund II, due to lower levels of investment in 2005 as the fund winds down. General and administrative expenses increased $2,787,000 to $5,755,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $2,968,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the allocation of Fund II incentive management fees for payment to employees (representing 25% of the total received, or $1,554,000), increases in employee compensation expense from the issuance of additional restricted stock, and additional expenses related to the services provided under our contract with Global Realty Outsourcing, Inc. which began in April 2004. We have made 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 ended 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 three months, -15-
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 March 31, 2005 and 2004, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements and, as such, have not provided for income tax expense on our REIT taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. We also have taxable REIT subsidiaries which are subject to tax at regular corporate rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we recorded $1,267,000 and $141,000, respectively, of income tax expense. This increase resulted from increased taxable income in our taxable REIT subsidiaries primarily due to incentive management fees recognized from Fund II, which, net of offsetting costs and expenses, generated $1,642,000 of income tax expense. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2005, we had $22,248,000 in cash. Our primary sources of liquidity for the remainder of 2005 are expected to be cash on hand, cash generated from operations, principal and interest payments received on loans and investments, and additional borrowings under our credit facility, CDOs and repurchase obligations. We believe these sources of capital will be adequate to meet future cash requirements for 2005. We expect that during 2005, we will use a significant amount of our available capital resources 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 decrease in cash of $2,335,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to a net increase of $14,386,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $10,533,000, compared to $636,000 during the same period of 2004. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, cash used in investing activities was $122,491,000, compared to $45,469,000 during the same period in 2004. The change was primarily due our increased loan and investment originations partially offset by increased levels of principal collections when comparing the first quarter of 2005 to the same quarter of 2004. We financed the increased investment activity with additional borrowings under our credit facility, repurchase obligations and CDOs. This accounted for substantially all of the change in the net cash activity from financing activities. At March 31, 2005, we had no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility, outstanding CDOs of $551,691,000 and outstanding repurchase obligations totaling $113,884,000. At March 31, 2005, we had pledged assets that enable us to obtain an additional $84.8 million financing. We had $461.1 million of credit available for the financing of new and existing unpledged assets pursuant to our credit facility and repurchase agreements. 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. -16-

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 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. Our loans and investments, including our fund investments, are also subject to credit risk. The ultimate performance and value of our loans and investments depends upon the owner's ability to operate the properties that serve as our collateral so that they produce cash flows adequate to pay interest and principal due us. To monitor this risk, our asset management team is in constant contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary. The following table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates at March 31, 2005. 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. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Expected Maturity Dates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Thereafter Total Fair Value ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------- ----- ---------- Assets: (dollars in thousands) <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Commercial Mortgage-backed Securities Fixed Rate $ 1,750 -- $ 135 $ 1,420 $ 5,015 $ 196,130 $204,451 $ 179,608 Average interest rate 8.98% -- 7.58% 7.57% 9.88% 10.64% 10.58% Variable Rate $ 242 $ 6,677 $ 3,878 $ 39,833 $ 14,002 $ 1,268 $ 65,900 $ 64,606 Average interest rate 3.83% 3.83% 3.83% 5.40% 4.21% 34.16% 5.58% Loans receivable Fixed Rate $ 597 $ 989 $ 7,981 $ 47,901 $ 697 $ 43,980 $ 102,145 $ 110,035 Average interest rate 10.06% 9.88% 8.35% 11.77% 7.95% 7.91% 9.79% Variable Rate $ 83,836 $ 260,050 $ 91,604 $ 55,292 $ 68,595 $ 25,000 $ 584,377 $ 579,103 Average interest rate 6.43 6.47% 7.87% 7.22% 5.92% 4.91% 6.63% Interest rate swaps Notional amounts $ 213 $ 3,681 $ 5,826 $ 1,035 $ 30,301 $ 142,958 $ 184,004 $ 3,232 Average fixed pay rate 3.68% 4.19% 3.21% 4.24% 4.56% 4.31% 4.32% Average variable receive rate 2.85% 2.85% 2.85% 2.85% 2.83% 2.84% 2.84% Liabilities: Repurchase obligations Variable Rate -- $ 113,884 -- -- -- -- $ 113,884 $ 113,884 Average interest rate -- 3.74% -- -- -- -- 3.74% Collateralized debt obligations Variable Rate -- -- -- $ 88,964 $ 103,053 $ 359,674 $ 551,691 $ 551,691 Average interest rate -- -- -- 3.67% 3.74% 3.69% 3.70% </TABLE> -18-
