Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1—Business and Organization
Business
—iStar Financial Inc., or the "Company," is a fully-integrated finance and investment company focused on the commercial real estate industry. The Company provides custom-tailored investment capital to high-end private and corporate owners of real estate and invests directly across a range of real estate sectors. The Company, which is taxed as a real estate investment trust, or "REIT," has invested more than
$35 billion
over the past
two
decades. The Company's primary business segments are real estate finance, net lease, operating properties and land.
Organization
—The Company began its business in 1993 through private investment funds and became publicly traded in 1998. Since that time, the Company has grown through the origination of new lending and leasing transactions, as well as through corporate acquisitions.
Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation
—The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes to conform to the 2013 presentation.
During the interim period ended June 30, 2012, the Company changed the classification within its cash flow statement for certain transactions involving the repurchase of its debt that was initially issued at a discount, as well as certain payments involving the potential acquisition of real estate. The Company believes the new classification is a more meaningful reflection of these transactions (collectively the “Reclassification”) and changed the Company's cash flows from the initially reported amounts as follows:
As Previously Reported
Change
As Reclassified
Cash flows from operations:
Six months Ended June 30, 2012
$
(57,196
)
$
(9,859
)

)
Cash flows from investing activities:
Six months Ended June 30, 2012
$
206,147
$
9,859
$
216,006
The above changes to the amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were classified in connection with the Company's filing on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation
—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, controlled partnerships and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Consolidated VIEs
—As of
June 30, 2013
, the Company consolidated
five
VIEs for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's total unfunded commitments related to consolidated VIEs is
$49.2 million
as of
June 30, 2013
.
Unconsolidated VIEs
—As of
June 30, 2013
,
28
of the Company's other investments were in VIEs where it is not the primary beneficiary and accordingly the VIEs have not been consolidated in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. As of
June 30, 2013
, the Company's maximum exposure to loss from these investments does not exceed the sum of the
$161.0 million
carrying value of the investments and
$8.1 million
of related unfunded commitments.
Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As of
June 30, 2013
, the Company's significant accounting policies, which are detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
, have not changed materially.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. This guidance is the culmination of the board's redeliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard requires that companies present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their interim and annual financial statements in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this ASU beginning with the reporting period ended March 31, 2013. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

(unaudited)
During the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
, the Company restructured
one
performing loan with a recorded investment of
$3.2 million
to grant a maturity extension of
one
year. The Company also extended a payoff option on a loan with a recorded investment of
$68.6 million
that was classified as non-performing.
During the
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
, the Company restructured
three
loans that were considered troubled debt restructurings. In addition to the loans modified during the current quarter that are described above, the Company restructured
one
non-performing loan with a recorded investment of
$72.7 million
. The Company received a
$13.3 million
paydown and accepted a discounted payoff option, with final payment expected to be made in January 2014 and the loan was reclassified from non-performing to performing status as the Company believes the borrower can perform under the modified terms of the agreement.
During the
three months
ended
June 30, 2012
, the Company restructured
one
loan that was considered a troubled debt restructuring. The Company extended the term of this performing loan by
one
year with the interest rate unchanged.
Troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the
six months
ended
June 30, 2012
included the modifications of performing loans with a combined recorded investment of
$62.6 million
. The modified terms of these loans granted maturity extensions ranging from
three
months to
one
year and included conditional extension options in certain cases dependent on borrower-specific performance hurdles. In each case, the Company believes the borrowers can perform under the modified terms of the loans and continues to classify these loans as performing.
Non-performing loans with a combined recorded investment of
$247.7 million
were also modified during the
six months
ended
June 30, 2012
and continued to be classified as non-performing subsequent to modification. Included in this balance was a loan with a recorded investment of
$181.5 million
prior to modification, for which the Company agreed to reduce the outstanding principal balance and recorded charge-offs totaling
$45.5 million
, and also reduced the loan's interest rate. The remaining non-performing loans were granted maturity extensions ranging from one month to seven months and the interest rate was reduced on one loan.
Generally when granting concessions, the Company will seek to protect its position by requiring incremental pay downs, additional collateral or guarantees and in some cases lookback features or equity kickers to offset concessions granted should conditions impacting the loan improve. The Company's determination of credit losses is impacted by troubled debt restructurings whereby loans that have gone through troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired, assessed for specific reserves, and are not included in the Company's assessment of general loan loss reserves. Loans previously restructured under troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default are reassessed to incorporate the Company's current assumptions on expected cash flows and additional provision expense is recorded to the extent necessary. As of
June 30, 2013
, the Company had
$21.4 million
of unfunded commitments associated with modified loans considered troubled debt restructurings.

February 2013 Secured Credit Facility
—On February 11, 2013, the Company entered into a
$1.71 billion
senior secured credit facility due October 15, 2017 (the “February 2013 Secured Credit Facility”) that amended and restated its
$1.82 billion
senior secured credit facility, dated October 15, 2012 (the “October 2012 Secured Credit Facility”). The February 2013 Credit Facility amended the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility by: (i) reducing the interest rate from LIBOR plus 4.50%, with a 1.25% LIBOR floor, to LIBOR plus 3.50%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor; and (ii) extending the call protection period for the lenders from October 15, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
Borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility are collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets, with required minimum collateral coverage of not less than
125%
of outstanding borrowings. If collateral coverage is less than
137.5%
of outstanding borrowings,
100%
of the proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. For so long as collateral coverage is between
137.5%
and
150%
of outstanding borrowings,
50%
of proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility and for so long as collateral coverage is greater than
150%
of outstanding borrowings, the Company may retain all proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral. The Company retains proceeds from interest, rent, lease payments and fee income in all cases.
In connection with the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility transaction, the Company incurred
$17.1 million
of lender fees, of which
$14.4 million
was capitalized in "Debt Obligations, net" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and
$2.7 million
was recorded in "Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations as it related to the lenders who did not participate in the new facility. The Company also incurred
$3.8 million
in third party fees, of which
$3.6 million
was recognized in “Other expense” on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, as it related primarily to those lenders from the original facility that modified their debt under the new facility, and
$0.2 million
was recorded in “Deferred expenses and other assets, net” on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, as it related to the new lenders.
The February 2013 Secured Credit Facility contains certain covenants relating to the collateral, among other matters, but does not contain corporate level financial covenants. For so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, it is permitted to distribute
100%
of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis. In addition, the Company may distribute to its stockholders real estate assets, or interests therein, having an aggregate equity value not to exceed
$200 million
, that are not collateral securing the borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. Except for the distribution of real estate assets described in the preceding sentence, the Company may not pay common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT.

Through
June 30, 2013
, the Company has made cumulative amortization repayments of
$109.9 million
on the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. Repayments of the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility prior to the scheduled maturity date have resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of
$1.7 million
and $
2.5 million
for the
three
and
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
, respectively, related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid.
October 2012 Secured Credit Facility
—On October 15, 2012, the Company entered into a
$1.82 billion
senior secured credit agreement due October 15, 2017 (the “October 2012 Secured Credit Facility”). Proceeds from the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility were used to refinance the remaining outstanding balances of the Company’s then existing 2011 Secured Credit Facilities.
The October 2012 Secured Credit Facility was refinanced by the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. Prior to refinancing, the Company made cumulative amortization repayments of
$113.0 million
on the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility, which resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of
$0.8 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid.
At the time of the refinancing, the Company had
$30.5 million
of unamortized discounts and financing fees related to the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility. In connection with the refinancing, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of
$4.9 million
, related primarily to the portion of lenders in the original facility that did not participate in the new facility. The remaining
$25.6 million
of unamortized fees and discounts will continue to be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility.
March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities
—In March 2012, the Company entered into an
$880.0 million
senior secured credit agreement providing for
two
tranches of term loans: a
$410.0 million
2012 A-1 tranche due March 2016, which bears interest at a rate of
LIBOR + 4.00%
(the "2012 Tranche A-1 Facility"), and a
$470.0 million
2012 A-2 tranche due March 2017, which bears interest at a rate of
LIBOR + 5.75%
(the "2012 Tranche A-2 Facility," together the "March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities"). The 2012 A-1 and A-2 tranches were issued at
98.0%
of par and
98.5%
of par, respectively, and both tranches include a LIBOR floor of
1.25%
. Proceeds from the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities were used to repurchase and repay at maturity
$606.7 million
aggregate principal amount of the Company's convertible notes due October 2012, to fully repay the
$244.0 million
balance on the Company's unsecured credit facility due June 2012, and to repay, upon maturity,
$90.3 million
outstanding principal balance of its
5.50%
senior unsecured notes.
The March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities are collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets. Proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral are applied to amortize the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities. Proceeds received for interest, rent, lease payments and fee income are retained by the Company. The 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility requires amortization payments of
$41.0 million
to be made every
six
months beginning December 31, 2012. After the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility is repaid, proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be used to amortize the 2012 Tranche A-2 Facility. The Company may make optional prepayments on each tranche of term loans, subject to prepayment fees.
Through
June 30, 2013
, the Company made cumulative amortization repayments of
$401.9 million
on the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility, which exceeds all required amortization payments through maturity. Repayments of the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility prior to scheduled amortization dates have resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of
$1.3 million
and
$4.2 million
for the
three
and
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
, respectively, related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid.

Debt Covenants
The Company's outstanding unsecured debt securities contain corporate level covenants that include a covenant to maintain a ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness of at least
1.2
x and a restriction on debt incurrence based upon the effect of the debt incurrence on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio. If any of the Company's covenants are breached and not cured within applicable cure periods, the breach could result in acceleration of its debt securities unless a waiver or modification is agreed upon with the requisite percentage of the bondholders. While the Company expects that its ability to incur new indebtedness under the fixed charge coverage ratio will be limited for the foreseeable future, it will continue to be permitted to incur indebtedness for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness and for other permitted purposes under the indentures.
The Company's March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities and February 2013 Secured Credit Facility are collectively defined as the "Secured Credit Facilities." The Company's Secured Credit Facilities contain certain covenants, including covenants relating to collateral coverage, dividend payments, restrictions on fundamental changes, transactions with affiliates, matters relating to the liens granted to the lenders and the delivery of information to the lenders. In particular, the Company is required to maintain collateral coverage of
1.25
x outstanding borrowings. In addition, for so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Secured Credit Facilities permit the Company to distribute
100%
of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis and the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility permits the Company to distribute to its shareholders real estate assets, or interests therein, having an aggregate equity value not to exceed
$200 million
, so long as such assets are not collateral for the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. The Company may not pay common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT (except that the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility permits us to distribute certain real estate assets as described in the preceding sentence).
The Company's Secured Credit Facilities contain cross default provisions that would allow the lenders to declare an event of default and accelerate the Company's indebtedness to them if the Company fails to pay amounts due in respect of its other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds or if the lenders under such other indebtedness are otherwise permitted to accelerate such indebtedness for any reason. The indentures governing the Company's unsecured public debt securities permit the bondholders to declare an event of default and accelerate the Company's indebtedness to them if the Company's other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds is not paid at final maturity or if such indebtedness is accelerated.

Legal Proceedings
—The Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries is party to various pending litigation matters that are considered ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company's business as a finance and investment company focused on the commercial real estate industry, including loan foreclosure and foreclosure-related proceedings.
The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings that could require a liability to be accrued and/or disclosed. Based on its current knowledge, and after consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes it is not a party to, nor are any of its properties the subject of, any pending legal proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Note 10—Risk Management and Derivatives
The Company's use of derivative financial instruments is primarily limited to the utilization of interest rate hedges and foreign exchange hedges. The principal objective of such hedges is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rates. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements, foreign exchange rate movements, and other identified risks, but may not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements.

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in foreign entities. The Company uses currency forward agreements to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on its foreign investments. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD to the respective foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in US dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date.
For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. Amounts are reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. In
June 2013
, the Company entered into a foreign exchange contract to hedge its exposure in a subsidiary whose functional currency is INR. As of
June 30, 2013
, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations that were designated:

_______________________________________________________________________________
(1)
Holders of shares of the Series D, E, F, G, I and J preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Dividends are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears on or before the 15th day of each March, June, September and December or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day. Any dividend payable on the preferred stock for any partial dividend period will be computed on the basis of a
360
-day year consisting of
twelve
30
-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as of the close of business on the first day of the calendar month in which the applicable dividend payment date falls or on another date designated by the Board of Directors of the Company for the payment of dividends that is not more than
30
nor less than
10
days prior to the dividend payment date.
(2)
The Company declared and paid dividends of
$4.0 million
,
$5.5 million
,
$3.9 million
,
$3.1 million
, and
$4.7 million
on its Series D, E, F, G, and I preferred stock, respectively, during each of the
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
and
2012
. The Company also declared and paid dividends of
$2.2 million
on its Series J preferred stock during the
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
. All of the dividends qualified as return of capital for tax reporting purposes. There are
no
dividend arrearages on any of the preferred shares currently outstanding.
In March 2013, the Company completed a public offering of
$200.0 million
of its
4.5%
Series J Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference of
$50.00
per share. Each share of the Series J Preferred Stock is convertible at the holder's option at any time, initially into
3.9087
shares of the Company's common stock (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately
$12.79
per share), subject to specified adjustments. The Company may not redeem the Series J Preferred Stock prior to March 15, 2018. On or after March 15, 2018, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series J Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash at a redemption price equal to
100%
of the liquidation preference of
$50.00
per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date.
Dividends
—In order to maintain its election to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to
90%
of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and must distribute
100%
of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to avoid paying corporate federal income taxes. The Company has recorded net operating losses and may record net operating losses in the future, which may reduce its taxable income in future periods and lower or eliminate entirely the Company's obligation to pay dividends for such periods in order to maintain its REIT qualification. As of
December 31, 2011
, the Company had
$423.9 million
of net operating loss carryforwards at the corporate REIT level that can generally be used to offset both ordinary and capital taxable income in future years and will expire through
2031
if unused. The amount net of operating loss carryforwards as of
June 30, 2013
will be subject to finalization of the 2012 and 2013 tax returns. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and certain asset impairments), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends or, alternatively, may need to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows. The Company's 2013 and 2012 Secured Credit Facilities permit the Company to distribute
100%
of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis, for so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT. The 2013 and 2012 Secured Credit Facilities restrict the Company from paying any common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT. The Company did not declare or pay any Common Stock dividends for the
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
and
2012
.

Effective February 1, 2013, the Company granted
164,685
shares of our Common Stock in connection with annual incentive awards. The shares are fully-vested and were issued to certain employees, net of statutory minimum required tax withholdings. The employees are restricted from selling these shares for up to two years from the date of grant.
Effective February 1, 2013, the Company also granted service-based restricted stock units, or Units, representing the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of our Common Stock (after deducting shares for minimum required statutory withholdings) if and when the Units vest. The Units will cliff vest in

of the target amount of the awards, depending on the Company's TSR performance relative to the NAREIT All REITs Index (one-half of the target amount of the award) and the Russell 2000 Index (one-half of the target amount of the award). The Company and any companies not included in the index at the beginning and end of the performance period are excluded from calculation of the performance of such index.

for risk-free interest rate and
50.44%
for expected stock price volatility. As of

Note 13—Earnings Per Share
EPS is calculated using the two-class method, which allocates earnings among common stock and participating securities to calculate EPS when an entity's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. HPU holders are current and former Company employees who purchased high performance common stock units under the Company's High Performance Unit (HPU) Program. These HPU units are treated as a separate class of common stock.

Note 14—Fair Values
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to be used in valuation techniques to measure fair value:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Certain of the Company's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Assets required to be marked-to-market and reported at fair value every reporting period are classified as being valued on a recurring basis. Assets not required to be recorded at fair value every period may be recorded at fair value if a specific provision or other impairment is recorded within the period to mark the carrying value of the asset to market as of the reporting date. Such assets are classified as being valued on a non-recurring basis.
The following fair value hierarchy table summarizes the Company's assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis by the above categories ($ in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements are included with respect to, among other things, iStar Financial Inc.'s (the "Company's") current business plan, business strategy, portfolio management, prospects and liquidity. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In assessing all forward-looking statements, readers are urged to read carefully all cautionary statements contained in this Form 10-Q and the uncertainties and risks described in Item 1A—"Risk Factors" in our 2012 Annual Report (as defined below), all of which could affect our future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. For purposes of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to iStar Financial Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The discussion below should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
(the "
2012
Annual Report"). These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. We have reclassified certain items in our consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to our current financial statements presentation.
Introduction
iStar Financial Inc. is a fully-integrated finance and investment company focused on the commercial real estate industry. We provide custom-tailored investment capital to high-end private and corporate owners of real estate and invest directly across a range of real estate sectors. We are taxed as a real estate investment trust, or "REIT," and have invested more than $35 billion over the past two decades. Our primary business segments are real estate finance, net lease, operating properties and land.
Executive Overview
We have made significant progress in strengthening our balance sheet and positioning the Company for the future. We executed several capital markets transactions across a broad spectrum of debt products that have satisfied all of our 2013 maturities and meaningfully extended our debt maturity profile. This has included five unsecured note issuances at rates associated with the most recent financings materially lower than our earlier financings. In addition, during 2013 we refinanced our largest secured credit facility at a reduced interest rate and issued Series J Preferred Stock. These transactions have allowed us to reduce our cost of capital while maintaining lower leverage. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2013
, we increased investment originations and continued to see our pipeline of potential investments grow. We ended the quarter with a significant amount of liquidity, which we intend to deploy primarily to the origination of new investments.
Within our real estate and loan portfolios, we continued to work towards resolving non-performing loans and enhancing the value of our commercial operating properties and land assets through the investment of capital and intensive asset management. We intend to continue these efforts, with the objective of having these assets contribute positively to earnings in the future.
During the quarter ended
June 30, 2013
, we saw a meaningful contribution to earnings from our performing loans, net lease assets and sales of our residential operating properties. However, the performance of nonperforming loans, transitional commercial operating properties and the sizable carrying costs associated with our land assets continued to negatively impact our earnings. For the quarter ended
June 30, 2013
, we recorded a net loss allocable to common shareholders of
$(26.0) million
, compared to a loss of
$(59.0) million
during the same period in the prior year. Adjusted income (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2013 was
$4.4 million
, compared to
$(1.4) million
for the second quarter of 2012.
With respect to liquidity, we received
$537.8 million
of proceeds from our portfolio during the quarter ended
June 30, 2013
, including net proceeds of
$220.3 million
from the sale of our interest in LNR. We originated and funded investments totaling
$109.1 million
during the quarter ended
June 30, 2013
. As of
June 30, 2013
, we had no debt outstanding with
2013
scheduled maturities. We ended the quarter with
$715.9 million
of cash, which we intend to use primarily to fund additional investment activity.

Revenue
—Operating lease income increased to
$57.5 million
during the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
and included income from net lease assets and commercial operating properties. Operating lease income from commercial operating properties increased to
$21.3 million
during the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
from
$16.7 million
for the same period in
2012
. We acquired title to additional commercial operating properties at the end of
2012
, which contributed
$4.0 million
in operating lease income for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
. As of
June 30, 2013
, commercial operating properties, excluding hotels and multifamily properties, were
60.5%
leased compared to
46.8%
leased as of
June 30, 2012
.
Operating lease income from net lease assets decreased to
$36.2 million
during the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
from
$37.4 million
for the same period in
2012
primarily due to properties sold since
2012
. As of

, net lease assets were
93.8%
leased compared to
94.5%
leased as of
June 30, 2012
. For the

7.2%
compared to
7.3%
during the same period in
2012
based on gross carrying value.
Interest income for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
declined to
$29.7 million
as compared to
$36.4 million
for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2012
primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of performing loans to
$1.18 billion
from
$1.81 billion
for the same period in
2012
. The decrease in performing loans was primarily due to loan repayments received during the period. For the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
, performing loans generated a weighted average effective yield of
7.0%
as compared to
7.6%
in
2012
. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by
$8.0 million
of interest income recorded during the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
, which related to a non-performing loan that was resolved and includes interest not previously recognized due to the loan being on non-accrual status.
Other income decreased to
$13.1 million
for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
as compared to
$16.7 million
for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2012
. The decrease was due to a
$6.5 million
gain on the sale of a loan recognized during the quarter ended
June 30, 2012
and a reduction in ancillary revenue related to a hotel property of
$1.2 million
period over period, offset by
$4.0 million
received during the quarter ended
June 30, 2013
for the settlement of a property-related lawsuit.

to
$69.2 million
for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
as compared to
$94.5 million
for the same period in

5.98%
for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013

due to continued unit sales, which reduced our available inventory. Operating expenses for net lease assets decreased to
$5.8 million
for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
from
$6.9 million
for the same period in
2012
due to certain legal and repair and maintenance costs that were incurred in

$20.2 million
for the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
as compared to
$18.6 million
for the same period in
2012

$6.5 million
for the
three months
ended

from
$5.4 million
for the same period in

$225.7 million
of the 2011 Tranche A-1 Facility and repaid
$81.4 million
of the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility. In connection with these repayments and repurchases prior to maturity, we recorded a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of

$8.3 million
during the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013

Income (loss) from discontinued operations includes operating results from net lease assets and commercial operating properties held for sale or sold as of
June 30, 2013
. For the
six months
ended
June 30, 2012
, income (loss) from discontinued operations includes impairment of assets of
$16.6 million
.
Income from sales of residential property
—During the
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
and
2012
, we sold 199 and 262 condominium units, respectively, that resulted in income from sales of residential properties totaling
$54.6 million
and
$20.0 million
, respectively. During the
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
, we also sold land for proceeds of
$26.9 million
that resulted in income of
$3.4 million
.
Adjusted income and Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to net income (loss), we use Adjusted income and Adjusted EBITDA to measure our operating performance. Adjusted income represents net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders, prior to the effect of depreciation and amortization, provision for loan losses, impairment of assets, stock-based compensation expense, and gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus the sum of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, provision for loan losses, impairment of assets and stock-based compensation expense, less gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt.
We believe Adjusted income and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures to consider in addition to net income (loss), as they may help investors evaluate our core operating performance. Adjusted income and Adjusted EBITDA should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted income and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor are Adjusted income and Adjusted EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. Rather, Adjusted income and Adjusted EBITDA are additional measures for us to use to analyze how our business is performing. It should be noted that our manner of calculating Adjusted income and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.

Watch List Loans
—During our quarterly loan portfolio assessments, loans are put on the watch list if deteriorating performance indicates they warrant a higher degree of monitoring and senior management attention. As of
June 30, 2013
, we had loans on the watch list with a combined carrying value of
$41.6 million
.
Non-Performing Loans
—We designate loans as non-performing at such time as: (1) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; (2) the loan has a maturity default; or (3) management determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. All non-performing loans are placed on non-accrual status and income is only recognized in certain cases upon actual cash receipt. As of
June 30, 2013
, we had non-performing loans with an aggregate carrying
41
Table of Contents
value of
$370.0 million
. Our non-performing loans decreased during the
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
, primarily due to the reclassification of certain non-performing loans to performing status, paydowns received on non-performing loans, and receiving title to properties serving as collateral in full or partial satisfaction of such loans.
Reserve for Loan Losses
—The reserve for loan losses was
$479.8 million
as of
June 30, 2013
, or
24.9%
of the gross carrying value of total loans, compared to
$524.5 million
or
22.3%
at
December 31, 2012
. The change in the balance of the reserve was the result of
$15.2 million
of provisioning for loan losses, reduced by
$59.9 million
of charge-offs during the
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
. Due to volatility within the commercial real estate market, the process of estimating collateral values and reserves require us to use significant judgment. In addition, the process of estimating values and reserves for our European loan assets, is subject to additional risks related to the continued economic uncertainty in the Eurozone. We currently believe there are adequate collateral and reserves to support the carrying values of the loans.
The reserve for loan losses includes an asset-specific component and a formula-based component. An asset-specific reserve is established for an impaired loan when the estimated fair value of the loan's collateral less costs to sell is lower than the carrying value of the loan. As of
June 30, 2013
, asset-specific reserves decreased slightly to
$447.5 million
compared to
$491.4 million
at
December 31, 2012
, primarily due to charge-offs on loans offset by additional reserves established on non-performing loans.
The formula-based general reserve is derived from estimated principal default probabilities and loss severities applied to groups of performing loans based upon risk ratings assigned to loans with similar risk characteristics during our quarterly loan portfolio assessment. During this assessment, we perform a comprehensive analysis of our loan portfolio and assign risk ratings to loans that incorporate management's current judgments about their credit quality based on all known and relevant factors that may affect collectability. We consider, among other things, payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographical location as well as national and regional economic factors. This methodology results in loans being segmented by risk classification into risk rating categories that are associated with estimated probabilities of default and principal loss. We estimate loss rates based on historical realized losses experienced within our portfolio and take into account current economic conditions affecting the commercial real estate market when establishing appropriate time frames to evaluate loss experience.
The general reserve decreased to
$32.3 million
or
2.9%
of the gross carrying value of performing loans as of
June 30, 2013
, compared to
$33.1 million
or
2.4%
of the gross carrying value of performing loans at
December 31, 2012
. This reduction is primarily attributable to the reduction in the balance of performing loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the
three months
ended
June 30, 2013
, we originated and funded investments totaling
$109.1 million
. Also during the second quarter of
2013
, we received
$537.8 million
of proceeds from our portfolio, comprised of
$224.7 million
from other investments,
$155.4 million
from repayments and sales of loans,
$116.8 million
from sales of operating properties, and
$40.9 million
from land and net lease. Included in the proceeds from other investments are net proceeds of
$220.3 million
from the sale of our interest in LNR. The transaction provided us with additional liquidity for new investment activities which should contribute positively to our earnings; however, those investments may not fully replace the earnings contributed by LNR (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
As of
June 30, 2013
, we had no debt outstanding with maturities in 2013. In addition, over the next 12 months, we currently expect to make an additional
$200.0 million
of capital expenditures within our portfolio. Our capital sources to meet expected cash uses throughout 2013 will primarily include cash on hand, loan repayments from borrowers, and proceeds from unencumbered asset sales. As of
June 30, 2013
, we had unencumbered assets with a carrying value of approximately
$3.02 billion
.
We cannot predict with certainty the specific transactions we will undertake to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due. We may raise capital through debt refinancings or equity capital transactions and will adjust our plans as appropriate in response to changes in our expectations and changes in market conditions. While economic trends have been improving, it is not possible for us to predict whether the improving trends will continue or to quantify the impact of these or other trends on our financial results.

We also have issued letters of credit totaling
$3.7 million
in connection with
four
of our investments. See Unfunded Commitments below, for a discussion of certain unfunded commitments related to our lending and net lease businesses.
February 2013 Secured Credit Facility
—On February 11, 2013, we entered into a
$1.71 billion
senior secured credit facility due October 15, 2017 (the “February 2013 Secured Credit Facility”) that amended and restated our
$1.82 billion
senior secured credit facility, dated October 15, 2012 (the “October 2012 Secured Credit Facility”). The February 2013 Credit Facility amended the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility by: (i) reducing the interest rate from LIBOR plus 4.50%, with a 1.25% LIBOR floor, to LIBOR plus 3.50%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor; and (ii) extending the call protection period for the lenders from October 15, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
Borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility are collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets, with required minimum collateral coverage of not less than
125%
of outstanding borrowings. If collateral coverage is less than
137.5%
of outstanding borrowings,
100%
of the proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. For so long as collateral coverage is between
137.5%
and
150%
of outstanding borrowings,
50%
of proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility and for so long as collateral coverage is greater than
150%
of outstanding borrowings, we may retain all proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral. We retain proceeds from interest, rent, lease payments and fee income in all cases.
In connection with the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility transaction, the Company incurred
$17.1 million
of lender fees, of which
$14.4 million
was capitalized in "Debt Obligations, net" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and
$2.7 million
was recorded in "Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations as it related to the lenders who did not participate in the new facility. The Company also incurred
$3.8 million
in third party fees, of which
$3.6 million
was recognized in “Other expense” on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, as it related primarily to those lenders from the original facility that modified their debt under the new facility, and
$0.2 million
was recorded in “Deferred expenses and other assets, net” on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, as it related to the new lenders.
Through
June 30, 2013
, the Company has made cumulative amortization repayments of
$109.9 million
on the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. Repayments of the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility prior to the scheduled maturity date have resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of
$1.7 million
and $
2.5 million
for the
three
and
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
, respectively, related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid.
October 2012 Secured Credit Facility
—On October 15, 2012, we entered into a
$1.82 billion
senior secured credit agreement due October 15, 2017 (the “October 2012 Secured Credit Facility”). Proceeds from the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility were used to refinance the remaining outstanding balances of the Company's then existing 2011 Secured Credit Facilities.
The October 2012 Secured Credit Facility was refinanced by the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. Prior to refinancing, we made cumulative amortization repayments of
$113.0 million
on the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility, which resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of
$0.8 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid.

Table of Contents
At the time of the refinancing, we had
$30.5 million
of unamortized discounts and financing fees related to the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility. In connection with the refinancing, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of
$4.9 million
, related primarily to the portion of lenders in the original facility that did not participate in the new facility. The remaining
$25.6 million
of unamortized fees and discounts will continue to be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility.
March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities
—In March 2012, we entered into an
$880.0 million
senior secured credit agreement providing for
two
tranches of term loans: a
$410.0 million
2012 A-1 tranche due March 2016, which bears interest at a rate of
LIBOR + 4.00%
(the "2012 Tranche A-1 Facility"), and a
$470.0 million
2012 A-2 tranche due March 2017, which bears interest at a rate of
LIBOR + 5.75%
(the "2012 Tranche A-2 Facility," together the "March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities"). The 2012 A-1 and A-2 tranches were issued at
98.0%
of par and
98.5%
of par, respectively, and both tranches include a LIBOR floor of
1.25%
. Proceeds from the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities were used to repurchase and repay at maturity
$606.7 million
aggregate principal amount of our convertible notes due October 2012, to fully repay the
$244.0 million
balance on our unsecured credit facility due June 2012, and to repay, upon maturity,
$90.3 million
outstanding principal balance of our
5.50%
senior unsecured notes.
The March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities are collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets. Proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral are applied to amortize the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities. Proceeds received for interest, rent, lease payments and fee income are retained by us. The 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility requires amortization payments of
$41.0 million
to be made every
six
months beginning December 31, 2012. After the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility is repaid, proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be used to amortize the 2012 Tranche A-2 Facility. We may make optional prepayments on each tranche of term loans, subject to prepayment fees.
Through
June 30, 2013
, the Company made cumulative amortization repayments of
$401.9 million
on the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility, which exceeds all required amortization payments through maturity. Repayments of the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility prior to scheduled amortization dates have resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of
$1.3 million
and
$4.2 million
for the
three
and
six months
ended
June 30, 2013
, respectively, related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid.

Debt Covenants
Our outstanding unsecured debt securities contain corporate level covenants that include a covenant to maintain a ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness of at least
1.2
x and a restriction on debt incurrence based upon the effect of the debt incurrence on our fixed charge coverage ratio. If any of our covenants are breached and not cured within applicable cure periods, the breach could result in acceleration of our debt securities unless a waiver or modification is agreed upon with the requisite percentage of the bondholders. While we expect that our ability to incur new indebtedness under the fixed charge coverage ratio will be limited for the foreseeable future, we will continue to be permitted to incur indebtedness for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness and for other permitted purposes under the indentures.
Our March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities and February 2013 Secured Credit Facility are collectively defined as the "Secured Credit Facilities." Our Secured Credit Facilities contain certain covenants, including covenants relating to collateral coverage, dividend payments, restrictions on fundamental changes, transactions with affiliates, matters relating to the liens granted to the lenders and the delivery of information to the lenders. In particular, we are required to maintain collateral coverage of
1.25
x outstanding borrowings. In addition, for so long as we maintain our qualification as a REIT, the Secured Credit Facilities permit us to distribute
100%
of our REIT taxable income on an annual basis and the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility permits us to distribute to our shareholders real estate assets, or interests therein, having an aggregate equity value not to exceed $200 million, so long as such assets are not collateral for the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. We may not pay common dividends if we cease to qualify as a REIT (except that the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility permits us to distribute certain real estate assets as described in the preceding sentence).
Our Secured Credit Facilities contain cross default provisions that would allow the lenders to declare an event of default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we fail to pay amounts due in respect of our other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds or if the lenders under such other indebtedness are otherwise permitted to accelerate such indebtedness for any reason. The indentures governing our unsecured public debt securities permit the bondholders to declare an event of default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if our other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds is not paid at final maturity or if such indebtedness is accelerated.
Derivatives
—Our use of derivative financial instruments is primarily limited to the utilization of interest rate hedges or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposure and foreign currency hedges to manage our risk to changes in foreign currencies. The principal objectives of such hedges are to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure and to manage our exposure to interest rate and foreign currency movements (see
Note 10
of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
—We are not dependent on the use of any off-balance sheet financing arrangements for liquidity.
Unfunded Commitments
—We generally fund construction and development loans and build-outs of space in net lease assets over a period of time if and when the borrowers and tenants meet established milestones and other performance criteria. We refer to these arrangements as Performance-Based Commitments. In addition, we sometimes establish a maximum amount of additional funding which we will make available to a borrower or tenant for an expansion or addition to a project if we approve of the expansion or addition in our sole discretion. We refer to these arrangements as Discretionary Fundings. Finally, we have committed to invest capital in several real estate funds and other ventures. These arrangements are referred to as Strategic Investments. As of
June 30, 2013
, the maximum amounts of the fundings we may make under each category, assuming all performance hurdles and milestones are met under the Performance-Based Commitments, that we approve all Discretionary Fundings and that 100% of our capital committed to Strategic Investments is drawn down, are as follows (in thousands):

Stock Repurchase Program

May 15, 2012
, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to
$20.0 million
of our Common Stock in open market and privately negotiated purchases, including pursuant to one or more trading plans. As of

$16.0 million

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure that valuation methods, including any judgments made as part of such methods, are well controlled, reviewed and applied consistently from period to period. We base our estimates on corporate and industry experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances.
A summary of our critical accounting estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates as of
June 30, 2013
.
New Accounting Pronouncements
—For a discussion of the impact of new accounting pronouncements on our financial condition or results of operations, see Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for the first
six months
of
2013
as compared to the disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
. See discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk under Item 7a—"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company has formed a disclosure committee that is responsible for considering the materiality of information and determining the disclosure obligations of the Company on a timely basis. The disclosure committee reports directly to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the disclosure committee and other members of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
There have been no changes during the last fiscal quarter in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's periodic reports.
