Note 1—Business and Organization


Business—iStar Inc. (the "Company"), doing business as "iStar," finances, invests in and develops real estate and real estate related projects as part of its fully-integrated investment platform. The Company also provides management services for itsmanages entities focused on ground lease and net lease equity method investments (refer to Note 7)8). The Company has invested more than $35over $40 billion of capital over the past two decades and is structured as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") with a diversified portfolio focused on larger assets located in major metropolitan markets. The Company's primary reportable business segments are real estate finance, net lease, operating properties and land and development (refer to Note 17)18).


Organization—The Company began its business in 1993 through the management of private investment funds and became publicly traded in 1998. Since that time, the Company has grown through the origination of new investments as well as throughand 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, 20162018 (the "2016 Annual"Annual Report").
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 Company's consolidated financial statements and the related notes to conform to the current period presentation.
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")VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's involvement with VIEs affects its financial performance and cash flows primarily through amounts recorded in "Operating lease income," "Interest income," "Earnings from equity method investments," "Real estate expense" and "Interest expense" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company has not provided no financial support to those VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.

Consolidated VIEsAs of September 30, 2017, theThe Company consolidates VIEs for which it is considered the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2017, the total assets of these consolidated VIEs were $331.4 million and total liabilities were $74.2 million. The classifications of these assets are primarily within "Land and development, net" and "Real estate, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The classifications of liabilities are primarily within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities" and "debt obligations, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to the Company and can only be satisfied from each VIE's respective assets. The Company did not have any unfunded commitments related to consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2017.

Unconsolidated2019. The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated VIEs—As as of September 30, 2017, the2019 and December 31, 2018 ($ in thousands):

Unconsolidated VIEs—The Company has investments 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 September 30, 2017,2019, the Company's maximum exposure to loss from these investments does not exceed the sum of the $65.8$115.8 million carrying value of the investments, which are classified in "Other investments" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, and $21.6 million of related unfunded commitments.

Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following paragraphs describe the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") on January 1, 2019.

ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11—Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02") required the recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities by the Company as lessee for those leases classified as operating or finance leases, both measured at the present value of the lease payments, on its consolidated balance sheets. For operating lease arrangements as of December 31, 2018 for which the Company was the lessee, primarily under leases of office space and certain ground leases, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of $31.6 million in "Deferred expenses and other assets, net" and operating lease liabilities of $31.6 million in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities" on its consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company entered into finance leases in 2019, and as of September 30, 2019, recorded finance lease right-of-use assets of $145.5 million in "Deferred expenses and other assets, net" and finance lease liabilities of $147.1 million in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities" on its consolidated balance sheets (refer to Significant Accounting Policies below).

The Company, as lessor, recognizes certain of its leases on net lease properties as sales-type leases and records the leases as "Net investment in leases" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 5). For the Company's leases which qualify as sales-type leases, the Company records "Interest income from sales-type leases" in the Company's consolidated statements

of operations. The amount recorded as interest income from sales-type leases in any given period will likely be different than the straight-line lease income that would have been recorded under the superseded guidance.

Management elected the practical expedient package that allowed the Company: (a) to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts entered into prior to January 1, 2019 are or contain leases; (b) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019; and (c) to not reassess initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company elected to not record on its consolidated balance sheets leases whose term is less than 12 months at lease inception.

ASU 2018-11, Leases amended ASU 2016-02 so that: (i) entities could elect to not recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to ASC 842 by allowing entities to change their initial application to the beginning of the period of adoption; and (ii) provided lessors with a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component of the contractual payments if certain conditions are met. Management elected both of these provisions.

ASU 2018-16—ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes was issued in October 2018 and expands the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permitted in the application of hedge accounting by adding the OIS rate based on SOFR as an eligible benchmark interest rate. The adoption of ASU 2018-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies

Real estate available and held for sale—The Company reports real estate assets to be sold at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell and classifies them as “Real estate available and held for sale” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. If the estimated fair value less costs to sell is less than the carrying value, the difference will be recorded as an impairment charge. Impairment for real estate assets disposed of or classified as held for sale are included in "Impairment of assets" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Once a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation expense is no longer recorded.

The Company classifies its real estate assets as held for sale in the period in which all of the following conditions are met: (i) the Company commits to a plan and has the authority to sell the asset; (ii) the asset is available for sale in its current condition; (iii) the Company has initiated an active marketing plan to locate a buyer for the asset; (iv) the sale of the asset is both probable and expected to qualify for full sales recognition within a period of 12 months; (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reflective of its current fair value; and (vi) the Company does not anticipate changes to its plan to sell the asset.
Net Investment in Leases—Net investment in leases are recognized when the Company's leases qualify as sales-type leases. The net investment in leases is initially measured at the present value of the fixed and determinable lease payments, including any guaranteed or unguaranteed residual value of the asset at the end of the lease, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. If a lease qualifies as a sales-type lease, it is further evaluated to determine whether the transaction is considered a sale leaseback transaction. If the sales-type lease does not qualify as a sale leaseback transaction, the lease is considered a financing receivable and is recognized in accordance with ASC 310 (refer to Note 5) and recorded in "Loans receivable and other lending investments, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets,sheets.

Interest Income from Sales-Type Leases—Interest income from sales-type leases is recognized in "Interest income from sales-type leases" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations under the effective interest method. The effective interest method produces a constant yield on the net investment in the lease over the term of the lease. Rent payments that are not fixed and $80.7 milliondeterminable at lease inception, such as percentage rent and CPI adjustments, are not included in the effective interest method calculation and are recognized in "Interest income from sales-type leases" in the Company's consolidated statements of related unfunded commitments.operations in the period earned.

Deferred expenses and other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities—Effective January 1, 2017,2019 with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company, adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"), which was issued to simplify several aspectsas lessee, records right-of-use lease assets in "Deferred expenses and other assets" and lease liabilities in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities" on its consolidated balance sheets for operating and finance leases, both measured at the present value of the accountinglease payments. Some of the Company's lease agreements include extension options, which are not included in the lease payments unless the extensions are reasonably certain to be exercised.
For operating leases, the Company recognizes a single lease cost for share-based payment transactions, including income tax, classificationoffice leases in "General and administrative" and a single lease cost for ground leases in "Real estate expense" in the consolidated statements of awards as either equity or liabilitiesoperations, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and classificationclassifies all cash payments within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. For finance leases, the Company recognizes amortization of the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease in "Depreciation and amortization" and interest expense on the lease liability using the effective interest method in "Interest expense" in the consolidated statements of operations. Repayments of the principal portion of the finance lease liability are classified within financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows and payments of interest on a finance lease liability are classified within operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2017,
For the remainder of the Company's significant accounting policies, which are detailed inrefer to the Company's 2016 Annual Report, have not changed materially.Report.

New Accounting PronouncementsIn August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"), to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. ASU 2017-12 expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe the guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASU 2017-05"), to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The amendments in ASU 2017-05 simplify GAAP by eliminating several accounting differences between transactions involving assets and transactions involving businesses. The amendments in ASU 2017-05 require an entity to initially measure a retained noncontrolling interest in a nonfinancial asset at fair value consistent with how a retained noncontrolling interest in a business is measured. Also, if an entity transfers ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary that is within the scope of ASC 610-20 and continues to have a controlling financial interest in that subsidiary, ASU 2017-05 requires the entity to account for the transaction as an equity transaction, which is consistent with how changes in ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary that is a business are recorded when a parent retains a controlling financial interest in the business. ASU 2017-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. Management is evaluating the impact of the guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt the retrospective approach, which would require the Company to recast revenue and expenses for all prior periods presented in the year of adoption of the new standard. The Company expects that transactions in assets and businesses in which the Company retains an ownership interest, such as the sale of a controlling interest in its GL business (refer to Note 4), will be impacted by this guidance. As a result, under the retrospective approach, in 2018, the Company expects to record an incremental gain of $55.5 million in its consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, bringing the Company's full gain on the sale of its GL business to approximately $178.9 million.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"), to provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. The Company's real estate acquisitions have historically been accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. Under ASU 2017-01, certain transactions previously accounted for as business combinations under the existing guidance would be accounted for as asset acquisitions under the new guidance. As a result, the Company expects more transaction costs to be capitalized under real estate acquisitions and less transaction costs to be expensed under business combinations. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of the guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"), which requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. In addition, ASU 2016-18 requires disclosure of what is included in restricted cash. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe the guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, theFASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"), which was issued to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments,

including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, distributions from equity method investees, and other separately identifiable cash flows, are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe the guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, theFASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Instruments - Credit Losses:Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("("ASU 2016-13"), which was issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments held by a reporting entity. This amendment replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company currently records a general reserve that covers performing loans and reserves for loan losses are recorded whenwhen: (i) available information as of each balance sheet date indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred in the portfolioportfolio; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The formula-based general reserve is derived from estimated principal default probabilities and loss severities applied to groups of loans based upon risk ratings assigned to loans with similar risk characteristics during our quarterly loan portfolio assessment. The Company estimates loss rates based on historical realized losses experienced within its portfolio and take into account current economic conditions affecting the commercial real estate market when establishing appropriate time frames to evaluate loss experience. The Company believes this general reserve component of its total loan loss reserves should minimize the impact of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management does not believeis currently evaluating the guidance will have a material impact from ASU 2016-13 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016,May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ("2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-02"2019-04"), which requires to clarify certain accounting topics from previously issued ASUs, including ASU 2016-13. ASU 2019-04 addresses certain aspects of ASU 2016-13, including but not limited to, accrued interest receivable, loan recoveries, interest rate projections for variable-rate financial instruments and expected prepayments. ASU 2019-04 provides alternatives that allow entities to measure credit losses on accrued interest separate from credit losses on the recognitionprincipal portion of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. For operating leases, a lessee will be required to do the following: (i) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments,loan, clarifies that entities should include expected recoveries in the statementmeasurement of financial position; (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so thatcredit losses, allows entities to consider future interest rates when measuring credit losses and can elect to adjust effective interest rates used to discount expected cash flows for expected loan prepayments. ASU 2019-04 is effective upon the costadoption of the leaseASU 2016-13. Management is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis and (iii) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating lease arrangements for which the Company is the lessee, primarily the lease of office space, the Company expectscurrently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 to be the recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability on its consolidated balance sheets. The accounting applied by the Company as a lessor will be largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. However, in certain instances, a new long-term lease of land subsequent to adoption could be classified as a sales-type lease, which could result in the Company derecognizing the underlying asset from its books and recording a profit or loss on sale and the net investment in the lease. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of the guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall:Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"), which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of the guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes existing industry-specific guidance, including ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales. The new standard is principles-based and requires more estimates and judgment than current guidance. Certain contracts with customers, including lease contracts and financial instruments and other contractual rights, are not within the scope of the new guidance. Although most of the Company's revenue is operating lease income generated from lease contracts and interest income generated from financial instruments, certain other of the Company's revenue streams will be impacted by the new guidance. The Company currently expects that income from the sale of residential condominiums, land development revenue and other income will be impacted by ASU 2014-09. The Company does not expect income from the sales of net lease or commercial operating properties to be impacted by ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date, to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. Management is evaluating the impact of the guidance2019-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt the full retrospective approach, which would require the Company to recast revenue and expenses for all prior periods presented in the year of adoption of the new standard.statements.

In the third quarter 2017, in conjunction with the modification of two master leases, the Company exchanged real property with the tenant. The fair value of the property exchanged exceeded the Company's cost basis by approximately $1.5 million which will be deferred and amortized to "Operating lease income" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over the remaining master lease terms.

This asset was one of the 12 properties comprising the Company's GL business that was disposed of in April 2017 (see "Disposition ofnew 99-year Ground Lease Business" below).
Disposition of Ground Lease Business—In April 2017, institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in the Company's GL business through the merger of a Company subsidiary and related transactions (the "Acquisition Transactions"). The Company's GL business was a component of the Company's net lease segment and consisted of 12 properties subject to long-term net leases including seven GLs and one master lease (covering five properties). The acquiring entity was a newly formed unconsolidated entity named Safety, Income & Growth Inc. ("SAFE"). The carrying value of the Company's GL assets was approximately $161.1 million. Shortly before the Acquisition Transactions, the Company completed the $227.0 million 2017 Secured Financing on its GL assetswith SAFE (refer to Note 10)8).

Dispositions—The Company received an additional $113.0 million of proceeds in the Acquisition Transactions, including $55.5 million that the Company contributed to SAFE in its initial capitalization. As a result of the Acquisition Transactions, the Company deconsolidated the 12 properties and the associated 2017 Secured Financing. The Company accounts for its investment in SAFE as an equity method investment (refer to Note 7). The Company accounted for this transaction as an in substance sale of real estate and recognized a gain of $123.4 million, reflecting the aggregate gain less the fair value of the Company's retained interest in SAFE (refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).

Note 5—Net Investment in Leases

In May 2019, the Company entered into a transaction with an operator of bowling entertainment venues, consisting of the purchase of 9 bowling centers for $56.7 million, of which 7 were acquired from the lessee for $44.1 million, and a commitment to invest up to $55.0 million in additional bowling centers over the next several years. The new centers were added to the Company's existing master leases with the tenant. In connection with this transaction, the maturities of the master leases were extended by 15 years to 2047.

Credit Characteristics—As part of the Company's process for monitoring the credit quality of its loans, it performs a quarterly loan portfolio assessment and assigns risk ratings to each of its performing loans. Risk ratings, which range from 1 (lower risk) to 5 (higher risk), are based on judgments, which are inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that actual performance will be similar to current expectation. The Company designates 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 we 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.

Ground leases generally represent ownership of the land underlying commercial real estate projects that is net leased by the fee owner of the land to the owners/operators of the real estate projects built thereon ("Ground Leases").
On January 2, 2019, the Company purchased 12,500,000 newly designated limited partnership units (the "Investor Units") in SAFE's operating partnership ("SAFE OP"), at a purchase price of $20.00 per unit, for a total purchase price of $250.0 million. The purpose of the investment was to allow SAFE to fund additional Ground Lease acquisitions and originations. Each Investor Unit received distributions equivalent to distributions declared and paid on one share of SAFE's common stock. The Investor Units had no voting rights. They had limited protective consent rights over certain matters such as amendments to the terms of the Investor Units that would adversely affect the Investor Units. In May 2019, after the approval of SAFE's stockholders, the Investor Units were exchanged for shares of SAFE's common stock on a one-for-one basis. Following the exchange, the Investor Units were retired.

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, as such terms are defined in the indentures governing the debt securities, of at least 1.2x and a covenant not to incur additional indebtedness (except for incurrences of permitted debt), if on a pro forma basis the Company's consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, determined in accordance with the indentures governing the Company's debt securities, is 1.5x or lower. 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. If the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness under the fixed charge coverage ratio is limited, the Company is permitted to incur indebtedness for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness and for other permitted purposes under the indentures.


The Company's 2016 Senior Secured Credit FacilityTerm Loan and the 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility 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 2016 Senior Secured Credit FacilityTerm Loan requires the Company to maintain collateral coverage of at least 1.25x outstanding borrowings on the facility. The 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a borrowing base of assets and requires the Company to maintain both collateral coverageborrowing base asset value of at least 1.5x outstanding borrowings on the facility and a consolidated ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of at least 1.5x. The 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility does not require that proceeds from the borrowing base be used to pay down outstanding borrowings provided the collateral coverageborrowing base asset value remains at least 1.5x outstanding borrowings on the facility. To satisfy this covenant, the Company has the option to pay down outstanding borrowings or substitute assets in the borrowing base. In addition, for so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility and the 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility permit the Company to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis (prior to deducting certain cumulative net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards). The Company may not pay common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT. In June 2018, the Company amended the terms of the 2016 Senior Term Loan and the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility to include the ability to pay common dividends with no restrictions so long as the Company is not in default on any of its debt obligations.


The Company's 2016 Senior Secured Credit FacilityTerm Loan and the 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility 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

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. In addition to such matters, the Company is a party to the following legal proceedings:

U.S. Home Corporation ("Lennar") v. Settlers Crossing, LLC, et al. (United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Civil Action No. DKC 08-1863)
This litigation involved a dispute over the purchase and sale of approximately 1,250 acres of land in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Following a trial, in January 2015, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the District Court) entered judgment in favor of the Company, finding that the Company was entitled to specific performance of the purchase and sale agreement and awarding the Company the aggregate amount of: (i) the remaining unpaid purchase price; plus (ii) simple interest on the unpaid amount at a rate of 12% annually from 2008; plus (iii) real estate taxes paid by the Company; plus (iv) actual and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the Company in connection with the litigation. Lennar appealed the District Court's judgment. On April 12, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the judgment of the District Court in its entirety. Lennar’s petition for rehearing en banc was summarily denied.

On April 21, 2017, the Company and Lennar completed the transfer of the land, pursuant to which the Company conveyed the land to Lennar and received net proceeds of $234.1 million after payment of $3.3 million in documentary transfer taxes, consisting of $114.0 million of sales proceeds, $121.8 million of interest and $1.6 million of real estate tax reimbursements. The interest and real estate tax reimbursements are recorded in "Other income" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The amount of attorneys’ fees and costs to be recovered by the Company will be determined through further proceedings before the District Court. The Company has applied for attorney’s fees in excess of $17.0 million. A portion of the net proceeds received by the Company has been paid to the third party which holds a 4.3% participation interest in all proceeds received by the Company.

Lennar has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of two specific issues previously decided in the Company's favor by the lower courts. The Company filed a brief in opposition to the petition. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of Lennar’s petition or, if it is accepted, any determination or redetermination by the U.S. Supreme Court affecting this matter.

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates 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'sCompany’s consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Exchange Contracts—The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in foreign entities. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on its foreign investments. Foreign exchange contracts involve fixing the U.S. dollar ("USD") to the respective foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The foreign exchange contracts are typically cash settled in USD 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 foreign entity is either sold or substantially liquidated. For derivatives not designated as net investment hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in the Company's consolidated statements of operations within "Other Expense." As of September 30, 2017, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations that were designated ($ and Rs in thousands):

The Company marks its foreign investments each quarter based on current exchange rates and records the gain or loss through "Other expense" in its consolidated statements of operations for loan investments or "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)," on its consolidated balance sheets for net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company recorded net gains (losses) related to foreign investments of $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 in its consolidated statements of operations.  

Interest Rate Hedges—For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. For derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in the Company's consolidated statements of operations within "Other Expense."
Over the next 12 months, the Company expects that $0.1 million related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified from
"Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" into earnings.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate swap that was used to hedge its variable rate debt that was designated as a cash flow hedge ($ in thousands):

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features—The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company reports derivative instruments on a gross basis in the consolidated financial statements. In connection with its foreign currency derivatives which were in a liability position as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has posted collateral of $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and is included in "Deferred expenses and other assets, net"

Dividends—To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must annually 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 eliminate corporate federal income taxes payable by the REIT. The Company has recorded NOLs and may record NOLs 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, 2016,2018, the Company had $948.8$567.7 million of NOL carryforwards at the corporate REIT level that can generally be used to offset both ordinary taxable income and capital gain net income in future years. The NOL carryforwards will begin to expire beginning in 20292031 and throughwill fully expire in 2036 if unused. 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 2016 Senior Secured Credit FacilityTerm Loan and the 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility permit the Company to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis (prior to deducting certain cumulative NOL carryforwards), aspay common dividends with no restrictions so long as the Company maintainsis not in default on any of its REIT qualification. The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility and 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility restrict the Company from paying any common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT.debt obligations.

The Company will settle conversions of the 3.125% Convertible Notes (refer to Note 11) by paying the conversion value in cash up to the original principal amount of the notes being converted and shares of common stock to the extent of any conversion premium. The amount of cash and shares of common stock, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value calculated for each trading day in a 40 consecutive day observation period. Based upon the conversion price of the 3.125% Convertible Notes, no shares of common stock would have been issuable upon conversion of the 3.125% Convertible Notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and therefore the 3.125% Convertible Notes had no effect on diluted EPS for such periods.

Note 16—17—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.

Introduction
iStar Inc., doing business as "iStar," ("iStar") finances, invests in and develops real estate and real estate related projects as part of its fully-integrated investment platform. We also provide management services for ourmanage entities focused on ground lease ("Ground Lease") and net lease equity method investments. We have invested more than $35over $40 billion of capital over the past two decades and are structured as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") with a diversified portfolio focused on larger assets located in major metropolitan markets. Our primary business segments are real estate finance, net lease, operating properties and land and development.
Executive Overview


DuringCapital remains cheap and plentiful in most traditional lending sectors of the three months ended September 30, 2017,commercial real estate markets, and we received upgrades to our corporate credit ratings from all three major ratings agencies when we completed a transformative set of capital markets transactions designed to enhance our capital structure and improve our earnings profile. Our capital markets transactions will allow usexpect that to continue to focus on our net leasefor the remainder of 2019. In addition, interest rates and real estate finance businesses to find selective investment opportunitiesthe equity markets have experienced some volatility. We have taken a cautious approach in these core businesses. We also continueconditions, focusing on providing capital to make significant additional progress in monetizing our commercialcustomers with whom we have a pre-existing relationship, originating fewer traditional loans and residential operating properties as well as our land portfolio. In our continuing effortaggressively seeking to find untapped investment opportunities in real estate, we recently conceived and ultimately launched a new, publicly traded REIT focused exclusively on the ground lease ("GL") asset class.

In September 2017,2019, we completed a comprehensive setissued $675.0 million principal amount of capital markets transactions that addressed all parts4.75% senior unsecured notes due October 2024. Proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, were used in October 2019 to repay in full the $400.0 million principal amount outstanding of our capital structure, resulting in us having:
repaid or refinanced allthe 4.625% senior unsecured notes due September 2020 and the $275.0 million principal amount outstanding of our 2017 and 2018 corporatethe 6.50% senior unsecured notes due July 2021. We have no debt maturities leaving no corporate debt maturities for the next 21 months;
extended our weighted average debt maturity by 1.5 years to 4.0 years;
reduced annual expenses underlying earnings by approximately $37 million, or $0.43 per diluted share;
lowered our cost of capital by approximately 35 basis points;
established new banking relationships;
increased liquidity to pursue new investment opportunities; and
received upgrades in our corporate credit ratings from all three major ratings agencies, which we expect will positively impact the marginal cost of our future borrowings and broaden our set of investment opportunities.

Safety, Income & Growth Inc.
We believe that Safety, Income & Growth Inc. ("SAFE") is the first publicly-traded company formed primarilyactivities, pay debt service, make distributions to acquire, own, manage, financeshareholders and capitalize ground leases. Ground leases generally represent ownership of the land underlying commercial real estate projects that is net leased by the fee owner of the land to the owners/operators of the real estate projects built thereon ("Ground Leases"). Ground Leases afford investors the opportunity for safe, growing income derived from (i) a Ground Lease's senior position in the commercial real estate capital structure; (ii) long-term leases with periodic contractual increases in rent; and (iii) growth in the value of the ground over time. Capital appreciation is realized when, at the end of the life of the lease, the commercial real estate property reverts back to the lessor, as landlord, and it is able to realize the value of the leasehold, which may be substantial. Ground Leases share similarities with triple net leases in that typically the lessor is not responsible for any operating or capital expenses over the life of the lease, making the management of a Ground Lease portfolio relatively simple, with limitedgeneral working capital needs.
In April 2017, institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in
Consistent with our GL business through the mergerhistorical approach of one of our subsidiariesoffering differentiated capital where we believe we can capture better risk-adjusted returns, we have invested, and related transactions (the "Acquisition Transactions"). Our GL business was a component of our net lease segment and consisted of 12 properties subject to long-term net leases including seven GLs and one master lease (covering five properties). The acquiring entity was a newly formed unconsolidated entity named Safety, Income & Growth Inc. The carrying value of our GL assets was approximately $161.1 million. Shortly before the Acquisition Transactions, we completed the $227.0 million 2017 Secured Financing on our GL assets (refer to Note 10). We received all of the proceeds of the 2017 Secured Financing. We received an additional $113.0 million of proceeds in the Acquisition Transactions, including $55.5 million that we contributed to SAFE in its initial capitalization. As a result of the Acquisition Transactions, we deconsolidated the 12 properties and the associated 2017 Secured Financing. We account for our investment in SAFE as an equity method investment (refer to Note 7). We accounted for this transaction as an in substance sale of real estate and recognized a gain of $123.4 million, reflecting the aggregate gain less the fair value of our retained interest in SAFE.
On June 27, 2017, SAFE completed its initial public offering raising $205.0 million in gross proceeds and concurrently completed a $45.0 million private placement to us, its largest shareholder. We paid organization and offering costs in connection with these transactions, including commissions payable to the underwriters and other offering expenses. As of September 30, 2017, we owned 34.6% of SAFE and our investment had a market value of $117.4 million. In addition, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries is the external manager of SAFE, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a director and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SAFE and our other executive officers hold similarly titled positions with SAFE.

Bevard
In April 2017, we received a favorable judgment from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, affirming a prior district court judgment relating to a dispute with Lennar over the purchase and sale of Bevard, a master planned community located in Maryland. On April 21, we conveyed the property to Lennar and received $234.3 million of net proceeds after payment of $3.3 million in documentary transfer taxes, comprised of the remaining purchase price of $114.0 million and $123.4 million of interest and real estate taxes, net of costs. We have applied for attorney’s fees in excess of $17.0 million. A portion of the net proceeds received by us has been paid to the third party which holds a 4.3% participation interest in all proceeds received by us.
Lennar has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of two specific issues previously decided in our favor by the lower courts. We have filed a brief in opposition to the petition. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of Lennar’s petition or, if it is accepted, any determination or redetermination by the U.S. Supreme Court affecting this matter.

Operating Results
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, three of our four business segments contributed positively to our earnings. We continue to work on repositioning or redeveloping our transitional operating properties and progressing on the entitlement and development of our land and development assets in order to maximize their value. We intend to continue these efforts, with the objectiveto invest, more of increasing the contribution of these assets to our earningscapital and resources in the future. Ground Lease business. In January 2019, we expanded our relationship with SAFE through an additional $250.0 million equity investment and an amendment of our management agreement with SAFE that gives us greater protection against a termination of the agreement, and incentivizes us to grow SAFE's portfolio. In August 2019, we further expanded our relationship with SAFE through a private placement in which we acquired 6.0 million shares of SAFE's common stock for $168.0 million. We have also pursued and will continue to pursue joint transactions with SAFE, such as offering customers a SAFE Ground Lease and an iStar leasehold loan.
In July 2018, we entered into "Net Lease Venture II" with total capital commitments of $526 million and an investment strategy similar to the Net Lease Venture. We have an equity interest in the new venture of approximately 51.9% and are responsible for managing the venture in exchange for management and incentive fees.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017,2019, we recorded a net loss allocable to common shareholders of $34.5$7.3 million, compared to a net incomeloss of $46.3$19.0 million during the same period in the prior year. Adjusted income (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 was $(3.6)$3.4 million, compared to $49.1$3.7 million during the same period in the prior year (see "Adjusted Income" for a reconciliation of adjusted income to net income)income (loss)).
We continue to work on monetizing, repositioning or redeveloping our legacy portfolio, which includes transitional operating properties and land and development assets, such as the Asbury Park assemblage and the Magnolia Green community (refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K), in order to maximize their value.

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 we 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 September 30, 2017,2019, we had a non-performing loansloan with an aggregate carrying value of $177.2$16.7 million compared to non-performing loans with an aggregate carrying value of $191.7$26.3 million as of December 31, 2016.2018. We expect that our level of non-performing loans will fluctuate from period to period.


Reserve for Loan Losses—The reserve for loan losses was $76.2$30.4 million as of September 30, 2017,2019, or 6.9%4.4% of total loans, compared to $85.5$53.4 million or 5.9%5.8% as of December 31, 2016.2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, the recovery of loan losses included a reductiondecrease in the general reserve of $8.1$4.3 million offset by an increase in the specific reserve of $0.5 million. We also charged-off $19.2 million from the specific reserve due to an overall improvement in the risk ratings andresolution of a decrease in size of our loan portfolio.non-performing loan. We expect that our level of reserve for loan losses will fluctuate from period to period. Due to the volatility of the commercial real estate market, the process of estimating collateral values and reserves requires the use of significant judgment. We currently believe there is 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 September 30, 2017,2019, asset-specific reserves decreased to $61.0$21.7 million compared to $62.2$40.4 million as of December 31, 2016.2018, primarily due to a $19.2 million charge-off from the specific reserve due to the resolution of a non-performing loan.


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 and future expectations 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 $15.2$8.7 million or 1.8%1.3% of performing loans as of September 30, 2017,2019, compared to $23.3$13.0 million or 1.9%1.5% of performing loans as of December 31, 2016.2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to an overall improvement in the risk ratings and a decrease in sizethe balance of our loan portfolio.performing loans.


Net Lease


Our net lease business seeks to create stable cash flows through long-term net leases primarily to single tenants on our properties. We target mission-critical facilities leased on a long-term basis to tenants, offering structured solutions that combine our capabilities in underwriting, lease structuring, asset management and build-to-suit construction. Leases typically provide for expenses at the facility to be paid by the tenant on a triple net lease basis. Under a typical net lease agreement, the tenant agrees to pay a base monthly operating lease payment and most or all of the facility operating expenses (including taxes, utilities, maintenance and insurance). We investgenerally intend to hold our net lease assets for long-term investment. However, we may dispose of assets if we deem the disposition to be in newour best interests.


The net lease segment includes our traditional net lease investments primarily through our Net Lease Venture, in which we hold a 51.9% interest. The Net Lease Venture has a right of first offer on any new net lease investments that we source. In February 2017, the Net Lease Venture's investment period was extended through February 1, 2018. The term of the Net Lease Venture extends through February 13, 2022, subject to two, one-year extension options at the discretion of the Company and its partner.

In April 2017, institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in our GL business through the merger of one of our subsidiaries and related transactions. Our GL business was a component of our net lease segment and consisted of 12 properties subject to long-term net leases including seven GLs and one master lease (covering five properties). As a result, we deconsolidated the 12 properties and associated liabilities and we began to record our investment in SAFE as an equity method investment.
On June 27, 2017, SAFE completed its initial public offering raising $205.0 million in gross proceeds and concurrently completed a $45.0 million private placement to us. Subsequent to the initial public offering, we purchased 1.3 million shares of SAFE's common stock for $24.5 million at an average cost of $19.20 per share.SAFE. As of September 30, 2017, we owned approximately 34.6% of SAFE's common stock outstanding which had an estimated market value of $117.4 million. In addition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours is the external manager of SAFE and our Chief Executive Officer is the Chairman of SAFE's board of directors.
As of September 30, 2017,2019, our consolidated net lease portfolio totaled $1.15 billion gross of $306.2 million of accumulated depreciation.$2.2 billion. Our net lease portfolio, including the carrying value of our equity method investments in SAFE and the Net Lease Venture II, exclusive of accumulated depreciation, totaled $1.34$2.8 billion.

Net Lease Venture—In 2014, the Company partnered with a sovereign wealth fund to form a venture to acquire and develop net lease assets and gave a right of first refusal to the venture on all new net lease investments that met specified investment criteria (refer to Note 8 in our consolidated financial statements for more information on our Net Lease Venture). The Net Lease Venture's investment period expired on June 30, 2018 and the remaining term of the venture extends through February 13, 2022, subject to two, one-year extension options at the discretion of us and our partner. We obtained control over the Net Lease Venture when the investment period expired on June 30, 2018 and consolidated the assets and liabilities of the venture, which had previously been accounted for as an equity method investment.
Net Lease Venture II—In July 2018, we entered into Net Lease Venture II with similar investment strategies as the Net Lease Venture (refer to Note 8). The Net Lease Venture II has a right of first offer on all new net lease investments (excluding Ground Leases) originated by us. We have an equity interest in the new venture of approximately 51.9%, which is accounted for as an equity method investment, and are responsible for managing the venture in exchange for a management fee and incentive fee.

SAFE—SAFE is a publicly-traded company that originates and acquires Ground Leases in order to generate attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns from its investments. We believe its business has characteristics comparable to a high-grade fixed income investment business, but with certain unique advantages. Relative to alternative fixed income investments generally, SAFE's Ground Leases typically benefit from built-in growth derived from contractual rent increases, and the opportunity to realize value from residual rights to acquire the buildings and other improvements on its land at no additional cost. We believe that these features offer us the opportunity through our ownership in SAFE to realize superior risk-adjusted total returns when compared to certain alternative highly-rated investments. As of September 30, 2017,2019, we owned approximately 67.1% of SAFE's common stock outstanding.
We account for our operating property portfolio, includinginvestment in SAFE as an equity method investments, totaled $624.1 million, grossinvestment (refer to Note 8). We are SAFE's external manager, and we have an exclusivity agreement with SAFE pursuant to which we agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that we will not acquire, originate, invest in, or provide financing for a third party’s acquisition of, $57.3 milliona Ground Lease unless we have first offered that opportunity to SAFE and a majority of accumulated depreciation, and was comprised of $558.4 million of commercial and $65.7 million of residential real estate properties.its independent directors has declined the opportunity.

Adjusted Income


In addition to net income (loss) prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we use adjusted income, a non-GAAP financial measure, to measure our operating performance. Adjusted income is used internally as a supplemental performance measure adjusting for certain non-cash GAAP measures to give management a view of income more directly derived from currentoperating activities in the period activity.in which they occur. Adjusted income is calculated as net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders, prior to the effect of depreciation and amortization, provision for (recovery of) loan losses, impairment of assets, stock-based compensation expense, the liquidation preference recorded as a premium above book value on the redemption of preferred stock, the imputed non-cash interest expense recognized for the conversion feature of our senior convertible notes, the non-cash portion of gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt and is adjusted for the effect of gains or losses on charge-offs and dispositions on carrying value gross of loan loss reserves and impairments ("Adjusted Income"). In the third quarter 2017, we modified our presentation of Adjusted Income to exclude the effect of the amount of the liquidation preference that was recorded as a premium above book value on the redemption of preferred stock (refer to Note 13) and the imputed non-cash interest expense recognized for the conversion feature of our senior convertible notes (refer to Note 10).



Adjusted Income should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. Adjusted Income should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of our liquidity, nor is Adjusted Income indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. Rather, Adjusted Income is an additional measure we use to analyze our business performance because it excludes the effects of certain non-cash charges that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our operating performance while including the effect of gains or losses on investments when realized. It should be noted that our manner of calculating Adjusted Income may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.

(1)Depreciation and amortization also includes our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization expense for equity method investments and excludes the portion of depreciation and amortization expense allocable to noncontrolling interests.
(2)For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, impairmentImpairment of assets includes impairments on equity method investments recorded in "Earnings from equity method investments" in our consolidated statements of operations.
(3)Adjusted Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as previously reported, included a $75.9 million add-back attributable to aggregate deferred gains on our retained interests in entities to which we sold or contributed properties prior to 2018 and a $3.3 million add-back for depreciation related to such properties. We recognized those gains in our GAAP retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 when we adopted a new accounting standard that mandated such recognition. We are retrospectively modifying our presentation of Adjusted Income for 2018 and 2017, as shown in the table above, to reflect the effects of the dispositions in the periods in which they occurred. Adjusted Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 shown in the table above includes $55.5 million of the aggregate deferred gain, which resulted from the sale of our Ground Lease business to SAFE in the second quarter of 2017. The remaining $23.7 million of the aggregate deferred gains are not shown in the table above because the disposition transactions occurred prior to 2017. Adjusted Income as previously reported (i.e., prior to the retrospective modification) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3.7 million and $179.7 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $(3.6) million and $183.1 million, respectively.
(4)Represents the impact of charge-offs and dispositions realized during the period. These charge-offs and dispositions were on assets that were previously impaired for GAAP and reflected in net income but not Adjusted Income.

As of September 30, 2017,2019, we had unrestricted cash of $1.9 billion; however,$917.3 million and $350.0 million of borrowing capacity available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility. In October 2019, we used approximately $1.4 billion subsequent to September 30, 2017 to redeem several seriesrepaid the $400.0 million principal amount outstanding of ourthe 4.625% senior unsecured notes due September 2020 and preferred stock, as discussed above under "Executive Overview."the $275.0 million principal amount outstanding of the 6.50% senior unsecured notes due July 2021. Our primary cash uses over the next 12 months are expected to be funding of investments, capital expenditures, distributions to shareholders and funding ongoing business operations. Over the next 12 months, we currently expect to fund in the range of approximately $175.0$50.0 million to $225.0$100.0 million of capital expenditures within our portfolio. The majority of these amounts relate to our land and development projects and operating properties, business segments and include multifamily and residential development activities which are expected to include approximately $100.0$20.0 million in vertical construction. The amount spentactually invested will depend on the pace of our development activities as well as the extent to which we strategically partner with others to complete these projects. As of September 30, 2017,2019, we also had approximately $419.8$395.5 million of maximum unfunded commitments associated with our investments of which we expect to fund the majority of over the next two years, assuming borrowers and tenants meet all milestones, performance hurdles and all other conditions to fundings (see "Unfunded Commitments" below). We also have $331.8 million principal amount of scheduled real estate finance maturities over the next 12 months, exclusive of any extension options that can be exercised by our borrowers. Our capital sources to meet cash uses through the next 12 months and beyond will primarily beare expected to include cash on hand, income from our portfolio, loan repayments from borrowers and proceeds from asset sales.


We cannot predict with certainty the specific transactions we will undertake to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due. We will adjust our plans as appropriate in response to changes in our expectations and changes in market conditions. While economic trends have stabilized, it is not possible for us to predict whether these trends will continue or to quantify the impact of these or other trends on our financial results.

2017 Secured Financing—In March 2017, we (through wholly-owned subsidiaries conducting our GL business) entered into a $227.0 million secured financing transaction (the "2017 Secured Financing") that accrued interest at 3.795% and matures in April 2027. The 2017 Secured Financing was collateralized by the 12 properties comprising our GL business, including seven GLs and one master lease (covering the accounts of five properties). In connection with the 2017 Secured Financing, we incurred $7.3 million of lender and third-party fees, substantially all of which was capitalized in "Debt obligations, net" on our consolidated balance sheets. In April 2017, we derecognized the 2017 Secured Financing when third parties acquired a controlling interest in the Company's GL business (refer to Note 4).
2016 Secured Term Loan—In December 2016, we arranged a $170.0 million delayed draw secured term loan (the "2016 Secured Term Loan"). In March 2017, we allowed the 2016 Secured Term Loan to expire and replaced the 2016 Secured Term Loan with the 2017 Secured Financing. The 2016 Secured Term Loan was collateralized by the 12 properties that served as collateral for the 2017 Secured Financing.
2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility—In June 2016, we entered into a senior secured credit facility of $450.0 million (the "2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility"). In August 2016, we upsized the facility to $500.0 million. The initial $450.0 million of the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility was issued at 99% of par and the upsize was issued at par. In January 2017, we repriced the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility to LIBOR plus 3.75% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor from LIBOR plus 4.50% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor. In September 2017, we downsized, repriced and extended the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility to $400.0 million priced at LIBOR plus 3.00% with a 0.75% LIBOR floor and maturing in October 2021. These transactions resulted in an aggregate 1.50% reduction in price.
The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility is collateralized 1.25x by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets. Proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral are applied to amortize the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility. Proceeds received for interest, rent, lease payments and fee income are retained by us. We may also make optional prepayments, subject to prepayment fees, and are required to repay 0.25% of the principal amount on the first business day of each quarter.

2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility—In March 2015, we entered into a secured revolving credit facility with a maximum capacity of $250.0 million (the "2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility"). In September 2017, we upsized the 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility to $325.0 million, added additional lenders to the syndicate, extended the maturity date to September 2020 and made certain other changes. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at a floating rate indexed to one of several base rates plus a margin which adjusts upward or downward based upon our corporate credit rating. An undrawn credit facility commitment fee ranges from 0.30% to 0.50%, based on corporate credit ratings each quarter. At maturity, we may convert outstanding borrowings to a one-year term loan which matures in quarterly installments through September 2021. As of September 30, 2017, based on our borrowing base of assets, we had $325.0 million of borrowing capacity available under the 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2017, the initial purchasers of the 3.125% Convertible Notes exercised their option to purchase an additional $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.125% Convertible Notes.

In March 2017, we issued $375.0 million principal amount of 6.00% senior unsecured notes due April 2022.

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, as such terms are defined in the indentures governing the debt securities, of at least 1.2x and a covenant not to incur additional indebtedness (except for incurrences of permitted debt), if on a pro forma basis our consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, determined in accordance with the indentures governing our debt securities, is 1.5x or lower. 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. If our ability to incur additional indebtedness under the fixed charge coverage ratio is limited, we are permitted to incur indebtedness for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness and for other permitted purposes under the indentures.
The 2016 Senior Secured Credit FacilityTerm Loan and the 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility 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 2016 Senior

Secured Credit Facility Term Loan requires us to maintain collateral coverage of at least 1.25x outstanding borrowings on the facility. The 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a borrowing base of assets and requires us to maintain both collateral coverageborrowing base asset value of at least 1.5x outstanding borrowings on the facility and a consolidated ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of at least 1.5x. The 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility does not require that proceeds from the borrowing base be used to pay down outstanding borrowings provided the collateral coverageborrowing base asset value remains at least 1.5x outstanding borrowings on the facility. To satisfy this covenant, we have the option to pay down outstanding borrowings or substitute assets in the borrowing base. We may not pay dividends if we cease to qualify as a REIT. In addition, forJune 2018, we amended the terms of the 2016 Senior Term Loan and the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility to include the ability to pay common dividends with no restrictions so long as we maintain our qualification as a REIT, the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility and the 2015 Secured Revolving Credit Facility permit us to distribute 100%are not in default on any of our REIT taxable income on an annual basis (prior to deducting certain cumulative NOL carryforwards).debt obligations. We declared common stock dividends of $19.0 million, or $0.29 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.


Derivatives—Our use of derivative financial instruments is primarily limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposure and foreign exchange contracts to manage our risk to changes in foreign currencies. Refer to Note 1213 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. We have made investments in various unconsolidated ventures. Refer to Note 78 to the consolidated financial statements for further details of our unconsolidated investments. Our maximum exposure to loss from these investments is limited to the carrying value of our investments and any unfunded commitments (see below).


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 have committed to invest capital in several real estate funds and other ventures. These arrangements are referred to as Strategic Investments. As of September 30, 20172019, the maximum amountsamount of the fundings we may be obligated to make under each category, assuming all performance hurdles and milestones are met under the Performance-Based Commitments and assuming that 100% of our capital committed to Strategic Investments is drawn down, are as follows (in thousands):

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 historical corporate and industry experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. For all of these estimates, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and, therefore, routinely require adjustment.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risks
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing our business plan, the primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our operating results will depend in part on the difference between the interest and related income earned on our assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with our interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets will affect the spread between our floating rate assets and liabilities subject to the net amount of floating rate assets/liabilities and the impact of interest rate floors and caps. Any significant compression of the spreads between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities could have a material adverse effect on us.
In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment or economic downturn, defaults could increase and cause us to incur additional credit losses which would adversely affect our liquidity and operating results. Such delinquencies or defaults would likely have a material adverse effect on the spreads between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, an increase in interest rates could, among other things, reduce the value of our fixed-rate interest-bearing assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. We monitor the spreads between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and may implement hedging strategies to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations, including engaging in interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and other interest rate-related derivative contracts. Such strategies are designed to reduce our exposure, on specific transactions or on a portfolio basis, to changes in cash flows as a result of interest rate movements in the market. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes or as a hedge against changes in our credit risk or the credit risk of our borrowers.
While a REIT may utilize derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk on its liabilities incurred to acquire or carry real estate assets without generating non-qualifying income, use of derivatives for other purposes will generate non-qualified income for REIT income test purposes. This includes hedging asset related risks such as credit and interest rate exposure on our loan assets. As a result our ability to hedge these types of risks is limited. There can be no assurance that our profitability will not be materially adversely affected during any period as a result of changing interest rates.
The following table quantifies the potential changes in annual net income, assuming no change in our interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities, should interest rates increase or decrease by 10, 50 or 100 basis points or decrease by 10 basis points, assuming no change in the shape of the yield curve (i.e., relative interest rates). The base interest rate scenario assumes the one-month LIBOR rate of 1.23%2.02% as of September 30, 2017.2019. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table.

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 FinancialAccounting Officer, who is currently performing the functions of the Company's principal 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 principal financial officer (whose functions are currently being performed by the Company's Chief Financial Officer.

Accounting 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 FinancialAccounting Officer (performing the functions of principal 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 FinancialAccounting 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 isis: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and formsforms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief FinancialAccounting 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.

On April 21, 2017, we and Lennar completed the transfer of the land, pursuant to which we conveyed the land to Lennar and received net proceeds of $234.1 million after payment of $3.3 million in documentary transfer taxes, consisting of $114.0 million of sales proceeds, $121.8 million of interest and $1.6 million of real estate tax reimbursements. The amount of attorneys’ fees and costs to be recovered by us will be determined through further proceedings before the District Court. We have applied for attorney’s fees in excess of $17.0 million. A portion of the net proceeds received by us has been paid to the third party which holds a 4.3% participation interest in all proceeds received by us.

Lennar has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of two specific issues previously decided in our favor by the lower courts. We have filed a brief in opposition to the petition. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of Lennar’s petition or, if it is accepted, any determination or redetermination by the U.S. Supreme Court affecting this matter.
