Note 1—Business and Organization
Business—iStar Inc. (the "Company") 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 its ground lease equity method investment and net lease joint ventures (refer to Note 7). The Company has invested approximately $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).
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 and 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, 2017 (the "2017 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 VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All 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 provided no financial support to those VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.

Consolidated VIEs—The Company consolidates VIEs for which it is considered the primary beneficiary. 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 June 30, 2018. The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 ($ 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 June 30, 2018, the Company's maximum exposure to loss from these investments does not exceed the sum of the $88.5 million carrying value of the investments, which are classified in "Other investments" and "Loans receivable and other lending investments, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, and $22.7 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, 2018.
ASU 2014-09—ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Certain contracts with customers, including lease contracts and financial instruments and other contractual rights, are not within the scope of the new guidance. The Company's revenue within the scope of the guidance is primarily ancillary income related to its operating properties. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03—ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"), addressed certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, provided technical corrections and improvements to ASU 2016-01. ASU 2016-01 requires entities to measure equity investments not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize changes in fair value in net income. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, entities may elect a measurement alternative that will allow those investments to be recorded at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for
subsequent observable price changes. Upon adoption, entities must record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the standard is adopted. ASU 2016-01 also eliminated the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-15—ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"), 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. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 was retrospective and resulted in an increase to cash flows provided by operating activities of $9.3 million and a decrease to cash flows provided by financing activities of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily resulting from the reclassification of cash payments made related to the extinguishment of debt.
ASU 2016-18—ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"), 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 and requires disclosure of what is included in restricted cash. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 was retrospective and resulted in a decrease to cash flows provided by operating activities of $0.7 million and a decrease to cash flows provided by investing activities of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Company's consolidated balance sheets that total to the same amount as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

|  | June 30, 2018 |  | December 31, 2017 |  | June 30, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,039,591 |  |  | $ | 657,688 |  |  | $ | 954,279 |  |  | $ | 328,744 |
Restricted cash included in deferred expenses and other assets, net(1) |  | 27,399 |  |  | 20,045 |  |  | 23,380 |  |  | 25,883 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows |  | $ | 1,066,990 |  |  | $ | 677,733 |  |  | $ | 977,659 |  |  | $ | 354,627 |

_______________________________________________________________________________

(1) | Restricted cash represents amounts required to be maintained under certain of the Company's debt obligations, loans, leasing, land development, sale and derivative transactions.

ASU 2017-01—The adoption of ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"), did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under ASU 2017-01, certain transactions previously accounted for as business combinations under the former accounting guidance will be accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASU 2017-01. As a result, the Company expects more transaction costs to be capitalized relating to real estate acquisitions as a result of ASU 2017-01.

ASU 2017-05—ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASU 2017-05"), simplifies 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. The Company adopted ASU 2017-05 using the modified retrospective approach which was applied to all contracts. On January 1, 2018, the Company recorded a step-up in basis to fair value of its retained noncontrolling interest relating to the sale of its ground lease business (refer to Note 4) and other transactions where the Company sold or contributed real estate to a venture and previously recognized partial gains. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-05, the Company was required to recognize gains on only the portion of its interest transferred to third parties and was precluded from recognizing a gain on its retained noncontrolling interest which was carried at the Company’s historical cost basis. The adoption of ASU 2017-05 had the following impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

|  |  |  | Impact from ASU 2017-05 on January 1, 2018 |  |
|  | December 31, 2017 |  |  | January 1, 2018
Other investments |  | $ | 321,241 |  |  | $ | 75,869 |  |  | $ | 397,110 |
Total assets |  | 4,731,078 |  |  | 75,869 |  |  | 4,806,947 |
Retained earnings (deficit) |  | $ | (2,470,564 | ) |  | $ | 75,869 |  |  | $ | (2,394,695 | )
Total equity |  | 914,249 |  |  | 75,869 |  |  | 990,118 |

ASU 2017-12—ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"), was issued 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. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial 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 when: (i) available information as of each balance sheet date indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred in the portfolio; 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. 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 believe the guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires the recognition 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, in the statement of financial position; (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (“ASU 2018-11”), to address two requirements of ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 allows entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment from the application of ASU 2016-02 to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, ASU 2018-11 provides lessors with a practical expedient to not separate

non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. For operating lease arrangements for which the Company is the lessee, primarily the lease of office space, the Company expects 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 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.

_______________________________________________________________________________

(1) | On June 30, 2018, the Company consolidated the Net Lease Venture (refer to Note 7) and recorded $743.6 million to "Real estate, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

(2) | As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $36.7 million and $48.5 million, respectively, of residential condominiums available for sale in its operating properties portfolio.

Disposition of Ground Lease Business—In April 2017, institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in the Company's ground lease business through the merger of a Company subsidiary and related transactions (the "Acquisition Transactions"). Ground leases generally represent ownership of the land underlying commercial real estate projects that is triple net leased by the fee owner of the land to the owners/operators of the real estate projects built thereon ("Ground Lease"). The Company's Ground Lease business was a component of the Company's net lease segment and consisted of 12 properties subject to long-term net leases including seven Ground Leases 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 Ground Lease assets was approximately $161.1 million. Shortly before the Acquisition Transactions, the Company completed the $227.0 million 2017 Secured Financing on its Ground Lease assets (refer to Note 10). The Company received all of the proceeds of the 2017 Secured Financing. 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. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-05 (refer to Note 3), on January 1, 2018, the Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $55.5 million, bringing the Company's aggregate gain on the sale of its Ground Lease business to approximately $178.9 million.

(1) | The carrying value of these loans include unamortized discounts, premiums, deferred fees and costs totaling net discounts of $0.5 million and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company's loans individually evaluated for impairment primarily represent loans on non-accrual status; therefore, the unamortized amounts associated with these loans are not currently being amortized into income.

(2) | The carrying value of these loans include unamortized discounts, premiums, deferred fees and costs totaling net discounts of $3.7 million and net premiums of $6.2 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

(3) | The Company's recorded investment in loans as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, including accrued interest of $5.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, is included in "Accrued interest and operating lease income receivable, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total amounts exclude $118.4 million and $89.6 million, respectively, of securities that are evaluated for impairment under ASC 320.

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.
The Company's recorded investment in performing loans, presented by class and by credit quality, as indicated by risk rating, was as follows ($ in thousands):

(1) | The Company consolidated the assets and liabilities of the Net Lease Venture on June 30, 2018 (refer to Net Lease Venture below).

(2) | On January 1, 2018, the Company recorded a step-up in basis to fair value of its retained noncontrolling interest relating to the sale of its Ground Lease business (refer to Note 4) and other transactions where the Company sold or contributed real estate to a venture and previously recognized partial gains. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-05 (refer to Note 3), the Company was required to recognize gains on only the portion of its interest transferred to third parties and was precluded from recognizing a gain on its retained noncontrolling interest, which was carried at the Company’s historical cost basis.

(3) | For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, equity in earnings (losses) includes a $10.0 million impairment on a foreign equity method investment due to local market conditions.

Net Lease Venture—In February 2014, the Company partnered with a sovereign wealth fund to form a net lease venture (the "Net Lease Venture") to acquire and develop net lease assets and gave a right of first offer to the venture on all new net lease investments. The Company and its partner had joint decision making rights pertaining to the acquisition of new investments. Upon the expiration of the investment period on June 30, 2018, the Company obtained control of the venture through its unilateral rights of management and disposition of the assets. As a result, the expiration of the investment period resulted in a reconsideration event under GAAP and the Company determined that the Net Lease Venture is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Effective June 30, 2018, the Company consolidated the Net Lease Venture as an asset acquisition under ASC 810. The Company recorded a gain of $67.9 million in "Gain on consolidation of equity method investment" in the Company's consolidated statement of operations as a result of the consolidation. The Net Lease Venture had previously been accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company has an equity interest in the Net Lease Venture of approximately 51.9% and recorded a $188.3 million increase to "Noncontrolling interests" and $11.8 million increase to "Redeemable noncontrolling interest" on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as a result of the consolidation. The Company is responsible for managing the venture in exchange for a management fee and incentive fee. Several of the Company's senior executives whose time is substantially devoted to the Net

Lease Venture have a 0.6% equity ownership in the venture via co-investment. These senior executives are also entitled to an amount equal to 50.0% of any incentive fee received based on the 47.5% partner's interest.
In July 2018, the Company entered into a new venture ("Net Lease Venture II") with similar investment strategies as the Net Lease Venture. The Net Lease Venture II has a right of first offer on all new net lease investments originated by the Company. The Company has an equity interest in the new venture of approximately 51.9%, which will be accounted for as an equity method investment, and is responsible for managing the venture in exchange for a management fee and incentive fee.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded management fees of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, from the Net Lease Venture which are included in "Other income" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Safety, Income & Growth Inc.—The Company and two institutional investors capitalized SIGI Acquisition, Inc. ("SIGI") on April 14, 2017 to acquire, manage and capitalize Ground Leases. The Company contributed $55.5 million for an initial 49.1% noncontrolling interest in SIGI and the two institutional investors contributed an aggregate $57.5 million for an initial 50.9% controlling interest in SIGI. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that held the Company's Ground Lease business and assets merged with and into SIGI on April 14, 2017 with SIGI surviving the merger and being renamed Safety, Income & Growth Inc. ("SAFE"). Through this merger and related transactions, the institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in the Company's Ground Lease business. The Company's carrying value of the Ground Lease assets was approximately $161.1 million. Shortly before the Acquisition Transactions, the Company completed the $227.0 million 2017 Secured Financing on its Ground Lease assets (refer to Note 10). The Company received all of the proceeds of the 2017 Secured Financing. 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 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. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-05, on January 1, 2018, the Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $55.5 million, bringing the Company's aggregate gain on the sale of its Ground Lease business to approximately $178.9 million.
On June 27, 2017, SAFE completed its initial public offering (the "Offering") raising $205.0 million in gross proceeds and concurrently completed a $45.0 million private placement to the Company. In addition, the Company paid $18.9 million in organization and offering costs of the up to $25.0 million in organization and offering costs it agreed to pay in connection with the Offering and concurrent private placement. The Company expensed the portion of offering costs that was attributable to other investors in "Other expense" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and capitalized the portion of offering costs attributable to the Company's ownership interest in "Other investments" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Company purchased 2.2 million shares of SAFE's common stock for $41.7 million, representing an average cost of $18.67 per share, pursuant to two 10b5-1 plans in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, under which the Company could buy shares of SAFE's common stock in the open market. As of June 30, 2018, the Company owned approximately 39.8% of SAFE's common stock outstanding.
In addition, subsequent to SAFE's initial public offering, trusts established by Jay Sugarman, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Geoffrey Jervis, the Company's former Chief Operating Officer and former Chief Financial Officer, purchased 26,000 shares in the aggregate of SAFE's common stock for an aggregate $0.5 million, representing an average cost of $19.20 per share, pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the external manager of SAFE and is entitled to a management fee, payable solely in shares of SAFE's common stock, equal to the sum of 1.0% of SAFE's total equity up to $2.5 billion and 0.75% of SAFE's total equity in excess of $2.5 billion. The Company is not entitled to receive any performance or incentive compensation.

(1) | In July 2018, the Company redeemed $273.0 million of senior notes.

2017 Secured Financing—In March 2017, the predecessor of SAFE (which at the time was comprised of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries conducting its Ground Lease 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 SAFE's initial portfolio. In connection with the 2017 Secured Financing, the Company incurred $7.3 million of lender and third-party fees, substantially all of which was capitalized in "Debt obligations, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. In April 2017, the Company derecognized the 2017 Secured Financing when third parties acquired a controlling interest in SAFE's predecessor, prior to SAFE's initial public offering (refer to Note 4).
The Company is providing a limited recourse guaranty and environmental indemnity under the 2017 Secured Financing that will remain in effect until SAFE has achieved either an equity market capitalization of at least $500.0 million (inclusive of the initial portfolio that the Company contributed to SAFE) or a net worth of at least $250.0 million (exclusive of the initial portfolio that the Company contributed to SAFE), and SAFE or another replacement guarantor provides similar guaranties and indemnities to the lenders. The management agreement with SAFE provides that SAFE may not terminate the management agreement unless a successor guarantor reasonably acceptable to the Company has agreed to replace the Company as guarantor and indemnitor or has provided the Company with a reasonably acceptable indemnity for any losses suffered by the Company as guarantor and indemnitor. SAFE has generally agreed to indemnify the Company for any amounts the Company is required to pay, or other losses the Company may suffer, under the limited recourse guaranty and environmental indemnity.
2016 Senior Term Loan—In June 2016, the Company entered into a senior term loan of $450.0 million (the "2016 Senior Term Loan"). In August 2016, the Company upsized the facility to $500.0 million. The initial $450.0 million of the 2016 Senior Term Loan was issued at 99% of par and the upsize was issued at par. In September 2017, the Company reduced, repriced and extended the 2016 Senior Term Loan to $400.0 million priced at LIBOR plus 3.00% with a 0.75% LIBOR floor and maturing in October 2021. In June 2018, the Company increased the 2016 Senior Term Loan to $650.0 million, re-priced at LIBOR plus 2.75% and extended its maturity to June 2023. The facility was also modified to permit substitution of collateral, subject to overall collateral pool coverage and concentration limits, over the life of the facility. This modification eliminates the mandatory amortization upon payoff or sale of collateral which existed prior to the upsize and broadens the types of collateral permitted under the facility. The Company may make optional prepayments, subject to prepayment fees, and is required to repay 0.25% of the principal amount on the first business day of each quarter.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, repayments of the 2016 Senior Term Loan prior to its modification and the modification and upsize of the 2016 Senior Term Loan resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
2015 Revolving Credit Facility—In March 2015, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit facility with a maximum capacity of $250.0 million (the "2015 Revolving Credit Facility"). In September 2017, the Company upsized the 2015 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. This facility is secured by a pledge of the equity interest in a pool of assets which provide asset value coverage for borrowings under the facility. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at a floating rate indexed

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 1.2 x 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 1.5 x 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 Term Loan and the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility contain certain covenants, including covenants relating to collateral coverage, 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 Term Loan requires the Company to maintain collateral coverage of at least 1.25 x outstanding borrowings on the facility. The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is secured

by a borrowing base of assets and requires the Company to maintain both borrowing base asset value of at least 1.5 x outstanding borrowings on the facility and a consolidated ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of at least 1.5 x. The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility does not require that proceeds from the borrowing base be used to pay down outstanding borrowings provided the borrowing base asset value remains at least 1.5 x 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. 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 Term Loan and the 2015 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 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.
Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
Unfunded Commitments—The Company generally funds construction and development loans and build-outs of space in real estate assets over a period of time if and when the borrowers and tenants meet established milestones and other performance criteria. The Company refers to these arrangements as Performance-Based Commitments. In addition, the Company has committed to invest capital in several real estate funds and other ventures. These arrangements are referred to as Strategic Investments.
As of June 30, 2018, the maximum amount of fundings the Company may be required to make under each category, assuming all performance hurdles and milestones are met under the Performance-Based Commitments and that 100% of its capital committed to Strategic Investments is drawn down, are as follows ($ in thousands):

| Loans and Other Lending Investments(1) |  | Real Estate |  | Other Investments |  | Total
Performance-Based Commitments | $ | 505,345 |  |  | $ | 9,774 |  |  | $ | 15,024 |  |  | $ | 530,143 |

(1) | Excludes $35.1 million of commitments on loan participations sold that are not the obligation of the Company.

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 foreclosure-related proceedings. 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 12—Derivatives
The Company's use of derivative financial instruments has historically been limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and foreign exchange contracts. The principal objective of such financial instruments is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure and to manage its exposure to interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company may have derivatives that are not designated as hedges because they do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements. Although not designated as hedges, such derivatives are entered into to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements, foreign exchange rate movements and other identified risks.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets ($ in thousands)(1):

| Derivative Assets as of |  | Derivative Liabilities as of
| June 30, 2018 |  | June 30, 2018
| Balance Sheet Location |  | Fair Value |  | Balance Sheet Location |  | Fair Value
Derivatives Designated in Hedging Relationships |  |  |  |
Interest rate swaps | Other assets |  | $ | 8,120 |  |  | Other liabilities |  | $ | (1,150 | )
Total |  |  | $ | 8,120 |  |  |  |  | $ | (1,150 | )

_________________________________________________________

(1) | The Company did not directly own any derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2017. On June 30, 2018, the Company consolidated the Net Lease Venture (refer to Note 7), including all derivative financial instruments of the venture. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects that $0.4 million related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" as a reduction to interest expense. As of June 30, 2018, the Company would not have been required to post any additional collateral to settle these contracts had the Company been declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As a result of the settlements, the Company initially recorded a $0.4 million unrealized gain in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and subsequently derecognized the gain when third parties acquired a controlling interest in the Company's Ground Lease business (refer to Note 4).

________________________________________

(1) | Holders of shares of the Series D, G, I and J preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends, when and as declared by the Company's 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 Company's Board of Directors 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, $3.1 million and $4.7 million on its Series D, G and I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company declared and paid dividends of $4.5 million on its Series J Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The Company declared and paid dividends of $5.5 million and $3.9 million on its Series E and F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company redeemed all of its issued and outstanding Series E and F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock in October 2017. The character of the 2017 dividends was 100% capital gain distribution, of which 27.90% represented unrecaptured section 1250 gain and 72.10% represented long term capital gain. There are no dividend arrearages on any of the preferred shares currently outstanding.

(3) | The Company may, at its option, redeem the Series G and I 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 $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date.

(4) | 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. 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—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, the Company had $948.8 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 expire beginning in 2029 and through 2036 if unused. The Company estimates that the amount of NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2017 will be approximately $588 million; however, the actual NOL carryforward as of December 31, 2017 will be determined upon filing the Company's 2017 tax return. 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 Term Loan and the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility permit the Company to pay common dividends with no restrictions so long as the Company is not in default on any of its debt obligations. The Company did not declare or pay any common stock dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Stock Repurchase Program—The Company may repurchase shares in negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including through one or more trading plans. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock for $8.3 million, representing an average cost of $10.22 per share. No common stock was repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $41.7 million of common stock under its stock repurchase program.

Performance Incentive Plans—The Company's Performance Incentive Plan ("iPIP") is designed to provide, primarily to senior executives and select professionals engaged in the Company's investment activities, long-term compensation which has a direct relationship to the realized returns on investments included in the plan. The fair value of points is determined using a model that forecasts the Company's projected investment performance. iPIP is a liability-classified award, which will be remeasured each reporting period at fair value until the awards are settled. The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s iPIP points and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.

After the amount distributable to participants was reduced based on the Company's total shareholder return in accordance with the provisions of the iPIP, iPIP participants received total distributions in the amount of $13.6 million as compensation, comprised of $6.8 million in cash and 595,869 shares of the Company's common stock, with a fair value of $6.8 million or $11.41 per share, which are fully-vested and issued under the 2009 LTIP (see below). After deducting statutory minimum tax withholdings, a total of 328,074 shares of the Company's common stock were issued. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had accrued compensation costs relating to iPIP of $34.3 million and $38.1 million, respectively, which are included in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Long-Term Incentive Plan—The Company's 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2009 LTIP") is designed to provide incentive compensation for officers, key employees, directors and advisors of the Company. The 2009 LTIP provides for awards of stock options, shares of restricted stock, phantom shares, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other share-based performance awards. All awards under the 2009 LTIP are made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors. The Company's shareholders approved the 2009 LTIP in 2009 and approved the performance-based provisions of the 2009 LTIP, as amended, in 2014.
As of June 30, 2018, an aggregate of 2.7 million shares remain available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Company's 2009 LTIP.

Note 16—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 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 2017 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 Inc. ("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 our ground lease ("Ground Lease") equity method investment and our net lease ventures. We have invested approximately $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
We continue to focus on our net lease and real estate finance businesses to find selective investment opportunities in these core businesses. We also continue to make significant progress in monetizing our commercial and residential operating properties as well as our land portfolio. In our continuing effort to find untapped investment opportunities in real estate, in 2017 we conceived and ultimately launched Safety, Income & Growth Inc. ("SAFE"), a new, publicly-traded REIT focused exclusively on the Ground Lease asset class.
Operating Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded net income allocable to common shareholders of $42.9 million, compared to net income of $177.5 million during the same period in the prior year. Adjusted income allocable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $43.6 million, compared to $198.4 million during the same period in the prior year (see "Adjusted Income" for a reconciliation of adjusted income to net income).
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we completed the sales of two operating properties and one net lease asset. Our proceeds from these sales totaled $184.9 million and we recognized $56.7 million of gains related to these sales. We also gained control of our Net Lease Venture, which resulted in us consolidating the assets and liabilities of the Net Lease Venture and recording a gain of $67.9 million as a result of its consolidation. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in our ground lease business through the merger of our subsidiary and other related transactions. We recognized a gain of $123.4 million from these transactions (refer to Note 4). During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we also received a judgment in our favor relating to litigation involving a dispute over the purchase and sale of approximately 1,250 acres of land in Prince George’s County, Maryland, which resulted in $123.4 million of other income.
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 objective of increasing the contribution of these assets to our earnings in the future. Furthermore, we have sold and expect to continue to opportunistically sell operating assets and land in order to generate cash proceeds to reinvest into real estate finance and net lease assets, and in active development projects.

Capital Markets Activity
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we re-priced, amended and extended the 2016 Senior Term Loan. The principal amount of the 2016 Senior Term Loan was increased to $650.0 million from $377.0 million, the annual interest rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 2.75% from LIBOR plus 3.00% and the maturity date was extended to June 2023 from October 2021. The 2016 Senior Term Loan was priced at 99.875% and call protection for lenders was reset for six months.
The 2016 Senior Term Loan is collateralized by the pledge of stock of entities that own existing and new assets, with asset addition and substitution flexibility within specified parameters. In addition, the 2016 Senior Term Loan permits us to pay common dividends with no restrictions so long as we are not in default on any of our debt obligations. A corresponding amendment of the dividend restrictions in the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility was entered into concurrently with the 2016 Senior Term Loan. Proceeds from the 2016 Senior Term Loan were used to repay the outstanding current 2016 Senior Term Loan balance and to redeem in July 2018, $273.0 million of the $770.0 million of senior unsecured notes due July 2019.
As of June 30, 2018, we had $1,039.6 million of cash, of which $273.0 million was used to redeem senior unsecured notes in July 2018. We expect to use our unrestricted cash balance primarily to fund future investment activities and for general working capital needs. In addition, we have additional borrowing capacity under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility (refer to Note 10) of $325.0 million at June 30, 2018.
Portfolio Overview
As of June 30, 2018, based on our gross book value, including the carrying value of our equity method investments gross of accumulated depreciation, our total investment portfolio has the following characteristics:

Senior mortgages | $ | 782,124 |  |  | $ | 709,809 |

Weighted average LTV | 59 | % |  | 67 | %

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 June 30, 2018, we had non-performing loans with an aggregate carrying value of $26.7 million compared to non-performing loans with an aggregate carrying value of $176.9 million as of December 31, 2017. In the second quarter 2018, we resolved a non-performing loan with a carrying value of $145.8 million. We received a $45.8 million cash payment and a preferred equity position with a face value of $100.0 million that is mandatorily redeemable in five years. We recorded the preferred equity at its fair value of $77.0 million and will accrue interest over the expected duration of the position. In addition, we recorded a $21.4 million loan loss provision and simultaneously charged-off of the remaining unpaid balance. 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 $54.5 million as of June 30, 2018, or 5.5% of total loans, compared to $78.5 million or 6.1% as of December 31, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the provision for loan losses included $21.4 million resulting from the resolution of a non-performing loan partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease (benefit) in the general reserve due to an overall improvement in the risk ratings. 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 June 30, 2018, asset-specific reserves decreased to $40.4 million compared to $61.0 million as of December 31, 2017.

Table of Contents
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 $14.1 million or 1.5% of performing loans as of June 30, 2018, compared to $17.5 million or 1.7% of performing loans as of December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to an overall improvement in the risk ratings.
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. We invested in new net lease investments primarily through our Net Lease Venture, in which we hold a 51.9% interest. 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. We recorded a gain of $67.9 million as a result of the consolidation.
In July 2018, we entered into a new venture ("Net Lease Venture II") with similar investment strategies as the Net Lease Venture (refer to Note 7). The Net Lease Venture II has a right of first offer on all new net lease investments originated by us. We have an equity interest in the new venture of approximately 51.9%, which will be accounted for as an equity method investment, and are responsible for managing the venture in exchange for a management fee and incentive fee.
In June 2018, we sold two industrial facilities to a third-party and simultaneously structured and entered into two Ground Leases. We then sold the two Ground Leases to SAFE. Net proceeds from the transactions totaled $36.1 million and we recognized a $24.5 million gain on sale.
In April 2017, institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in our Ground Lease business through the merger of one of our subsidiaries and related transactions (the "Acquisition Transactions"). Our Ground Lease business was a component of our net lease segment and consisted of 12 properties subject to long-term net leases including seven Ground Leases and one master lease (covering five properties). As a result of the Acquisition Transactions, we: (i) recognized a gain of approximately $178.9 million; (ii) deconsolidated the 12 properties and the associated 2017 Secured Financing; and (iii) account for our investment in SAFE as an equity method investment (refer to Note 7).
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 believe that SAFE is the first publicly-traded company formed primarily to acquire, own, manage, finance 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. 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, a Ground Lease unless we have first offered that opportunity to SAFE and a majority of its independent directors has declined the opportunity. 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.

Interest income decreased $3.4 million, or 12.0%, to $25.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $28.6 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of our performing loans, which decreased to $1.04 billion in 2018 from $1.18 billion in 2017. The weighted average yield on our performing loans was 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Other income decreased $118.7 million, or 85.1%, to $20.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $139.5 million for the same period in 2017. Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2018 consisted primarily of income from our hotel properties, other ancillary income from our operating properties and interest income on our cash. Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2017 consisted of primarily of interest income and real estate tax reimbursements resulting from the settlement of litigation involving a dispute over the purchase and sale of land and also included income from our hotel properties and other ancillary income from our operating properties. The decrease in 2018 was related primarily to the judgment in our favor in 2017 relating to litigation involving a dispute over the purchase and sale of approximately 1,250 acres of land in Prince George’s County, Maryland, which resulted in $123.4 million of other income during the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Land development revenue and cost of sales—During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold residential lots and units and recognized land development revenue of $80.9 million which had associated cost of sales of $83.4 million primarily from the monetization of a 785 acre master planned community entitled for 1,458 single family lots in Riverside County, California. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we sold residential lots and units and one land parcel and recognized land development revenue of $132.7 million which had associated cost of sales of $122.5 million, representing a $10.2 million gross profit. The decrease in 2018 was primarily due to the judgment in our favor in 2017 relating to litigation involving a dispute over the purchase and sale of approximately 1,250 acres of land in Prince George’s County, Maryland, which resulted in us recognizing $114.0 million of land development revenue and $106.3 million of land development cost of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Costs and expenses—Interest expense decreased $5.6 million, or 11.5%, to $43.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $48.8 million for the same period in 2017 due to a decrease in the balance of our average outstanding debt, which decreased to $3.18 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $3.70 billion for the same period in 2017. Our weighted average cost of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 5.7% and 5.5%, respectively.

The provision for loan losses was $18.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a net recovery of loan losses of $0.6 million for the same period in 2017. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was due to a specific reserve of $21.4 million resulting from the resolution of a non-performing loan partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in the general reserve. The recovery of loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was due to a reduction in the general reserve due to an overall improvement in the risk ratings of our loan portfolio.
Impairment of assets was $6.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and resulted from the exercise of a below-market lease renewal option related to a net lease asset and a land and development asset based upon market comparable sales.

Other expense decreased to $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $16.3 million for the same period in 2017.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt, net—During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred losses on early extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, resulting from the modification and upsize of our 2016 Senior Term Loan in 2018 and repayments of unsecured notes prior to maturity in 2017.

Interest income decreased $5.8 million, or 10.0%, to $51.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $57.7 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of our performing loans, which decreased to $1.09 billion in 2018 from $1.23 billion in 2017. The weighted average yield on our performing loans was 9.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Other income decreased $115.2 million, or 76.1%, to $36.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $151.4 million for the same period in 2017. Other income during the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted primarily of income from our hotel properties, other ancillary income from our operating properties and interest income on our cash. Other income during the six months ended June 30, 2017 consisted primarily of interest income and real estate tax reimbursements resulting from the settlement of litigation involving a dispute over the purchase and sale of land and also included income from our hotel properties and other ancillary income from our operating properties. The decrease in 2018 was related primarily to the judgment in our favor in 2017 relating to litigation involving a dispute over the purchase and sale of land in 2017, which resulted in $123.4 million of other income during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Land development revenue and cost of sales—During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold land parcels and residential lots and units and recognized land development revenue of $357.4 million which had associated cost of sales of $306.8 million, representing a $50.6 million gross profit. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold residential lots and units and one land parcel and recognized land development revenue of $152.8 million which had associated cost of sales of $138.4 million, representing a $14.4 million gross profit. The increase in 2018 was primarily the result of two bulk land parcel sales.
Costs and expenses—Interest expense decreased $11.6 million, or 11.6%, to $88.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $100.0 million for the same period in 2017 due to a decrease in the balance of our average outstanding debt, which decreased to $3.29 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $3.64 billion for the same period in 2017, and lower average borrowing costs. Our weighted average cost of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 5.4% and 5.7%, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $3.6 million, or 14.0%, to $21.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $25.5 million for the same period in 2017, primarily due to the sale of net lease and commercial operating properties in since July 1, 2017.
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 0.7%, to $52.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $52.4 million for the same period in 2017. The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in millions):

The provision for loan losses was $18.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a net recovery of loan losses of $5.5 million for the same period in 2017. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was due to a specific reserve of $21.4 million resulting from the resolution of a non-performing loan partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in the general reserve. The net recovery of loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was due to a reduction in the general reserve due to an overall improvement in the risk ratings of our loan portfolio.
Impairment of assets was $10.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and resulted from the exercise of a below-market lease renewal option related to a net lease asset, an impairment on a real estate asset held for sale due to contracts to sell the remaining four condominium units at the property and a land and development asset based upon market comparable sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded an aggregate impairment of $14.7 million resulting primarily from an impairment on a land and development asset due to a change in our exit strategy and an impairment on a real estate asset held for sale due to shifting demand in the local condominium market along with a change in our exit strategy.
Other expense decreased to $4.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $18.1 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease was primarily the result of paying organization and offering costs associated with the initial public offering of SAFE (refer to Note 7) during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt, net—During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred losses on early extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we incurred losses on early extinguishment of debt resulting from repayments of our 2016 Senior Term Loan prior to its modification and the

modification and upsize of our 2016 Senior Term Loan. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 we incurred losses on early extinguishment of debt resulting from repayments of unsecured notes prior to maturity and the repricing of our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility.
Earnings (losses) from equity method investments—Earnings (losses) from equity method investments decreased $15.2 million to $(3.9) million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $11.2 million for the same period in 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $4.1 million related to operations at our Net Lease Venture (which we consolidate as of June 30, 2018), $2.2 million from our equity method investment in SAFE and $10.2 million was aggregate losses from our remaining equity method investments inclusive of a $10.0 million impairment on a foreign equity method investment due to local market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $2.9 million primarily from profit participations on a land development venture, $4.3 million related to sales activity on a land development venture, $2.0 million related to operations at our Net Lease Venture and $2.0 million was aggregate income from our remaining equity method investments.
Gain on consolidation of equity method investment—On June 30, 2018, we gained control of the Net Lease Venture when its investment period expired. As a result, as of June 30, 2018, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of the venture, which had previously been accounted for as an equity method investment. We recorded a gain of $67.9 million as a result of the consolidation.
Income tax expense—Income tax expense of $0.2 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2017. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily related to state margins taxes and other minimum state franchise taxes. The income tax expense in for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily related to federal alternative minimum taxes on REIT taxable income generated by the favorable litigation award over the purchase and sale of approximately 1,250 acres of land in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Discontinued Operations—In April 2017, institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in our Ground Lease business through the merger of one of our subsidiaries and related transactions. We received total consideration of $340.0 million, including $113.0 million in cash, including $55.5 million that we contributed to SAFE in its initial capitalization, and the proceeds from the $227.0 million 2017 Secured Financing (refer to Note 10). Income from discontinued operations represents the operating results from the 12 properties comprising our Ground Lease business.
Income from sales of real estate—Income from sales of real estate increased to $73.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $9.0 million for the same period in 2017. The following table presents our income from sales of real estate by segment ($ in millions).

|  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2018 |  | 2017
Net Lease |  | $ | 24.9 |  |  | $ | 6.2 |
Operating Properties |  | 49.0 |  |  | 2.8 |
Total |  | $ | 73.9 |  |  | $ | 9.0 |

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 current period activity. 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 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 and the imputed non-cash interest expense recognized for the conversion feature of our senior convertible notes (refer to Note 10). Adjusted Income includes the impact to retained earnings (income that would have been recognized in prior periods had the accounting standards been effective during those prior periods) resulting from the adoption of new accounting standards on January 1, 2018 (refer to Note 3).

Table of Contents
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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we invested $252.4 million into new investments, prior financing commitments and ongoing development during the quarter. Total investments included $197.7 million in lending and other investments, $36.0 million to develop our land and development assets, $2.2 million to invest in net lease assets and $16.5 million of capital to reposition or redevelop our operating properties. Also during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we generated $605.0 million of proceeds from loan repayments and asset sales within our portfolio, comprised of $377.3 million from real estate finance, $112.6 million from operating properties, $36.9 million from net lease assets, $77.7 million from land and development assets and $0.5 million from other investments. These amounts are inclusive of fundings and proceeds from both consolidated investments and our pro rata share from equity method investments.

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2018, we had unrestricted cash of $1,039.6 million. Our primary cash uses over the next 12 months are expected to be funding of investments, capital expenditures and funding ongoing business operations. Over the next 12 months, we currently expect to fund approximately $150.0 million to $200.0 million of capital expenditures within our portfolio. The majority of these amounts relate to our land and development projects and operating properties and include multifamily and residential development activities which are expected to include approximately $135.0 million in vertical construction. The amount spent 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 June 30, 2018, we also had approximately $539.5 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). Our capital sources to meet cash uses through the next 12 months and beyond are 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.

(1) | The 2016 Senior Term Loan and the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are secured only by pledges of equity of certain of our subsidiaries and not by pledges of the assets held by such subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries are subject to contractual restrictions under the terms of such credit facilities, including restrictions on incurring new debt (subject to certain exceptions). As of June 30, 2018, Collateral Assets includes $423.6 million carrying value of assets held by entities pledged as collateral for the $325.0 million 2015 Revolving Credit Facility that is fully undrawn as of June 30, 2018.

(2) | As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amounts presented exclude general reserves for loan losses of $14.1 million and $17.5 million, respectively.

(3) | As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amounts presented exclude loan participations of $14.7 million and $102.3 million, respectively.

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 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 1.5 x 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 Term Loan and the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility contain certain covenants, including covenants relating to collateral coverage, 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 Term Loan requires us to maintain collateral coverage of at least 1.25 x outstanding borrowings on the facility. The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a borrowing base of assets and requires us to maintain both borrowing base asset value of at least 1.5 x outstanding borrowings on the facility and a consolidated ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of at least 1.5 x. The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility does not require that proceeds from the borrowing base be used to pay down outstanding borrowings provided the borrowing 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. In June 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 are not in default on any of our debt obligations.
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 12 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 7 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 June 30, 2018, 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 and that 100% of our capital committed to Strategic Investments is drawn down, are as follows (in thousands):

Stock Repurchase Program—We may repurchase shares in negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including through one or more trading plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of our outstanding common stock for $8.3 million, representing an average cost of $10.22 per share. As of June 30, 2018, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $41.7 million of common stock under our stock repurchase program.
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.
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements and our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements—For a discussion of the impact of new accounting pronouncements on our financial condition or results of operations, refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

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, 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 2.09% as of June 30, 2018. 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 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.
