Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

June 30, 2007

1. Organization

Gramercy Capital Corp. (the “Company” or “Gramercy”) is a commercial real estate specialty finance company that focuses on the direct origination and acquisition of whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, and net lease investments involving commercial properties throughout the United States. We have also established a CMBS business that focuses on the acquisition, trading and financing of commercial mortgage backed securities, or CMBS, and other real estate related securities. When evaluating transactions, we assess our risk-adjusted return and target transactions with yields that seek to provide excess returns for the risks being taken.

Substantially all of our operations are conducted through GKK Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership, or our Operating Partnership. We, as the sole general partner of, and currently the holder of 100% of the common units of, our Operating Partnership, have responsibility and discretion in the management and control of our Operating Partnership, and the limited partners of our Operating Partnership, in such capacity, have no authority to transact business for, or participate in the management activities of, our Operating Partnership. Accordingly, we consolidate the accounts of our Operating Partnership.

We are externally managed and advised by GKK Manager LLC, or our Manager, a majority-owned subsidiary of SL Green Realty Corp., or SL Green. At June 30, 2007, SL Green owned approximately 25% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. We qualified as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004 and expect to qualify for the current fiscal year. To maintain our tax status as a REIT, we plan to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we,” “our,” and “us” means Gramercy Capital Corp.

As of June 30, 2007, we held loans, other lending investments and CMBS of $2,853,821 net of fees, discounts, and unfunded commitments with an average spread to LIBOR of 393 basis points for our floating rate investments, and an average yield of 8.68% for our fixed rate investments. As of June 30, 2007, we also held interests in four credit tenant lease, or CTL, investments and the fee interest in a property subject to a long-term ground lease.

Basis of Quarterly Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The 2007 operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statement at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries which are wholly-owned or controlled by us, or entities which are variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiaries under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, or FIN 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity, or VIE, to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the VIE’s anticipated losses and/or a majority of the expected returns. We have evaluated our investments for potential classification as variable interests by evaluating the sufficiency of the entities’ equity investment at risk to absorb losses, and determined that we are not the primary beneficiary for any of our investments. Entities which we do not control and entities which are VIE’s, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Variable Interest Entities

Our ownership of the subordinated classes of CMBS from a single issuer may provide us with the right to control the foreclosure/workout process on the underlying loans. There are certain exceptions to the scope of FIN 46R, one of which provides that an investor that holds a variable interest in a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) does not consolidate that entity unless the investor has the unilateral ability to cause the entity to liquidate. FASB Statement No. 140, or SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,”provides the requirements for an entity to qualify as a QSPE. To maintain the QSPE exception, the special-purpose entity must initially meet the QSPE criteria and must continue to satisfy such criteria in subsequent periods. A special-purpose entity’s QSPE status can be affected in future periods by activities by its transferors or other involved parties, including the manner in which certain servicing activities are performed. To the extent that our CMBS investments were issued by a special-purpose entity that meets the QSPE requirements, we record those investments at the purchase price paid. To the extent the underlying special-purpose entities do not satisfy the QSPE requirements, we follow the guidance set forth in FIN 46R as the special-purpose entities would be determined to be VIEs.

We have analyzed the pooling and servicing agreements governing each of our controlling class CMBS investments and we believe that the terms of those agreements conform to industry standards and are consistent with the QSPE criteria. However, there is uncertainty with respect to QSPE treatment due to ongoing review by accounting standard setters, potential actions by various parties involved with the QSPE (discussed in the paragraph above), as well as varying and evolving interpretations of the QSPE criteria under SFAS No. 140. Additionally, the standard setters continue to review the FIN 46R provisions related to the computations used to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

At June 30, 2007, we owned securities of two CMBS trusts with a par value of $34,451. The total par amounts of CMBS issued by the two CMBS trusts was $904,654. Using the fair value approach to calculate expected losses or residual returns, we have concluded that we would not be the primary beneficiary of any of the underlying special-purpose entities. At June 30, 2007, our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investment in these QSPEs totaled $25,302, which equals the book value of these investments as of June 30, 2007.

The financing structures that we offer to the borrowers on certain of our real estate loans involve the creation of entities that could be deemed VIEs and therefore, could be subject to FIN 46R. Our management has evaluated these entities and has concluded that none of such entities are VIEs that are subject to the consolidation rules of FIN 46R.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash at June 30, 2007 consists primarily of $123,819 on deposit with the trustee of our collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, representing the proceeds of repayments from loans serving as collateral in our CDOs, which will be used to fund investments to replace those trust assets which are repaid or sold by the trust, interest payments received by the trustee on investments that serve as collateral for our CDOs, which are remitted to us on a quarterly basis in the month following the end of our fiscal quarter, and future funding obligations on certain investments. The remaining balance of $24,833 consists of interest reserves held on behalf of borrowers and our share of the reserves of 55 Corporate Drive, a consolidated tenancy-in-common, or TIC, interest.

Loans and Investments and Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for investment are intended to be held to maturity and, accordingly, are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination fees, discounts, repayments, sales of partial interests in loans, and unfunded commitments unless such loan or investment is deemed to be impaired. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments. We may originate or acquire preferred equity interests that allow us to participate in a percentage of the underlying property’s cash flows from operations and proceeds from a sale or refinancing. Should we make such a preferred equity investment, we must determine whether that investment should be accounted for as a loan, joint venture or as an interest in real estate.

flow from the property during the projected holding period, and the estimated sales value of the collateral computed by applying an expected capitalization rate to the stabilized net operating income of the specific property, less selling costs, all of which are discounted at market discount rates.

If upon completion of the valuation, the fair value of the underlying collateral securing the impaired loan is less than the net carrying value of the loan, an allowance is created with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses. The allowance for each loan is maintained at a level we believe is adequate to absorb probable losses. We maintained a reserve of $6,608 and $2,460 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Our Manager evaluates our assets on a regular basis to determine if they continue to satisfy our investment criteria. Subject to certain restrictions, our Manager may cause us to sell our investments opportunistically and use the proceeds of any such sale for debt reduction, additional acquisitions or working capital purposes.

Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities Available-for-Sale

The Company has designated CMBS as available-for-sale as the Company may dispose of the securities prior to maturity and the Company does not hold them for the purpose of selling them in the near-term. Available-for-sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with the net unrealized gains or losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders equity. Unrealized losses on securities that in the judgment of management is other than temporary, are charged against earnings as a loss on the income statement.

When the fair value of an available-for-sale security is less than the amortized cost, we consider whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment in the value of the security (for example, whether the security will be sold prior to the recovery of fair value). If, in our judgment, an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the cost basis of the security is reduced to the then-current fair value, and this loss is realized and charged against earnings. The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a subjective process, and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization.

We determine the fair value of CMBS based on the types of securities in which we have invested. For liquid, investment-grade securities, we consult with dealers of such securities to periodically obtain updated market pricing for the same or similar instruments. For non-investment grade securities, we actively monitor the performance of the underlying properties and loans and update our pricing model to reflect changes in projected cash flows. The value of the securities is derived by applying discount rates to such cash flows based on current market yields. The yields employed are obtained from our own experience in the market, advice from dealers and/or information obtained in consultation with other investors in similar instruments. Because fair value estimates may vary to some degree, we must make certain judgments and assumptions about the appropriate price to use to calculate the fair values for financial reporting purposes. Different judgments and assumptions could result in different presentations of value.

In accordance with SFAS No. 115, when the estimated fair value of the security classified as available-for-sale has been below amortized cost for a significant period of time and the Company concludes that it no longer has the ability or intent to hold the security for the period of time over which the Company expects the values to recover to amortized cost, the investment is written down to its fair value, and this loss is realized and charged against earnings.

Credit Tenant Lease Investments

Consolidated CTL investments are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs directly related to the acquisition of such investments are capitalized. Certain improvements are capitalized when they are determined to increase the useful life of the building. Capitalized items are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful lives of the capitalized item or 40 years for buildings or facilities, the remaining life of the facility for facility improvements, four to seven years for personal property and equipment, and the shorter of the remaining lease term or the expected life for tenant improvements.

Results of operations of properties acquired are included in the Statement of Income from the date of acquisition.

In accordance with FASB No. 144, or SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” a property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Once an asset is held for sale, depreciation expense and straight-line rent adjustments are no longer recorded and historic results are reclassified as Discontinued Operations.

associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building and other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. The values of the above- and below-market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease. The value associated with in-place leases and tenant relationships are amortized over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimated probability of the lease renewal, and its estimated term. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting since we exercise significant influence, but do not unilaterally control the entities and are not considered to be the primary beneficiary under FIN46R. In the joint ventures, the rights of the other investor are protective and participating. Unless we are determined to be the primary beneficiary, these rights preclude us from consolidating the investments. The investments are recorded initially at cost as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently are adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of the investments on our balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures over the lesser of the joint venture term or 40 years. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to us. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $74,302 and $57,567, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income on debt investments is recognized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method and recognized on the accrual basis. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. Anticipated exit fees, whose collection is expected, are also recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Fees on commitments that expire unused are recognized at expiration. Fees received in exchange for the credit enhancement of another lender, either subordinate or senior to us, in the form of a guarantee are recognized over the term of that guarantee using the straight-line method. Income recognition is generally suspended for debt investments at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in our opinion, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

In some instances we may sell all or a portion of our investments to a third party. To the extent the fair value received for an investment exceeds the amortized cost of that investment and FASB Statement No. 140, or SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” criteria is met, under which control of the asset that is sold is surrendered making it a “true sale,” a gain on the sale will be recorded through earnings as other income. To the extent an investment that is sold has a discount or fees, which were deferred at the time the investment was made and were being recognized over the term of the investment, the unamortized portion of the discount or fees are recognized at the time of sale and recorded as a gain on the sale of the investment through other income. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $1,668 and $314, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $4,354 and $1,428, respectively, in net gains from the sale of debt investments or commitments.

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is included in other assets on the accompanying balance sheets. We may establish, on a current basis, an allowance against this account for future potential tenant credit losses, which may occur. The balance reflected on the balance sheet will be net of such allowance.

In addition to base rent, the tenants in our CTL investments also pay all operating costs of owned property including real estate taxes.

Reserve for Possible Loan Losses

The expense for possible loan losses in connection with debt investments is the charge to earnings to increase the allowance for possible loan losses to the level that management estimates to be adequate considering delinquencies, loss experience and collateral quality. Other factors considered relate to geographic trends and project diversification, the size of the portfolio and current economic conditions. Based upon these factors, we may establish the provision for possible loan losses by individual asset or category of asset.

When it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, the account is considered impaired.

Where impairment is indicated, a valuation write-down or write-off is measured based upon the excess of the recorded investment amount over the net fair value of the collateral, as reduced by selling costs. Any deficiency between the carrying amount of an asset and the net sales price of foreclosed collateral is charged to the allowance for loan losses. We maintained a reserve for possible loan losses of $6,608 against investments with a carrying value of $153,721 as of June 30, 2007, and a reserve for possible loan losses of $2,460 against investments with a carrying value of $131,427 as of December 31, 2006.

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs consist of fees and direct costs incurred to originate new investments and are amortized using the effective yield method over the related term of the investment.

In March 2006, we recorded a nonrecurring charge of $525 for third-party professional expenses in connection with a possible business combination involving the acquisition of a publicly-traded commercial real estate finance company with business lines considered by management to be highly complementary to ours. The decision to expense these costs was made once management concluded the proposed transaction was unlikely to occur on terms advantageous to us.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal and other third party costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing which result in a closing of such financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements and the amortization is reflected in interest expense. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions, which do not close, are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.

Stock Based Compensation Plans

We have a stock-based compensation plan, described more fully in Note 14. We account for this plan using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement 123(R), “Share-Based Payment, a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our plan has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in our opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our stock options.

Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the award. Our policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of our stock on the business day preceding the grant date. Awards of stock or restricted stock are expensed as compensation on a current basis over the benefit period.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant for awards to co-leased employees, and quarterly for options issued to non-employees, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants in 2007 and 2006.

	2007		2006
Dividend yield	7.9	%	8.0	%
Expected life of option	6.0 years		6.7 years
Risk-free interest rate	5.04	%	4.14	%
Expected stock price volatility	25.0	%	21.0	%

Incentive Distribution (Class B Limited Partner Interest)

The Class B limited partner interests are entitled to receive an incentive return equal to 25% of the amount by which funds from operations, or FFO plus certain accounting gains (as defined in the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership which was amended and restated in April 2006) exceed the product of our weighted average stockholders equity (as defined in the amended and restated partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership) multiplied by 9.5% (divided by four to adjust for quarterly calculations). We will record any distributions on the Class B limited partner interests as an incentive distribution expense in the period when earned and when payment of such amounts has become probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with the partnership agreement.

These cash distributions will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our common unit holders in our Operating Partnership and to common stockholders. We incurred approximately $3,784 and $6,601 with respect to such Class B limited partner interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $1,578 and $2,771 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, we use a variety of derivative instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk. We require that hedging derivative instruments be effective in reducing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential for qualifying for hedge accounting. Some derivative instruments are associated with an anticipated transaction. In those cases, hedge effectiveness criteria also require that it be probable that the underlying transaction occurs. Instruments that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception of the derivative contract.

To determine the fair value of derivative instruments, we use a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, long-term investments and long-term debt, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option-pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the effect of interest rate changes and limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. To address exposure to interest rates, we use derivatives primarily to hedge the mark-to-market risk of our liabilities with respect to certain of our assets. We may also use derivatives to hedge variability in sales proceeds to be received upon the sale of loans held for sale.

We use a variety of commonly used derivative products that are considered plain vanilla derivatives. These derivatives typically include interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors. We also use total rate of return swaps, or TROR swaps, which are tied to the Lehman Brothers CMBS index. We expressly prohibit the use of unconventional derivative instruments and using derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Further, we have a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors.

FASB No. 133, or SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by FASB No. 149, requires us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. SFAS 133 may increase or decrease reported net income and stockholders’ equity prospectively, depending on future levels of LIBOR, swap spreads and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows, provided the contract is carried through to full term.

We may employ swaps, forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying forecasted transactions. Gains and losses related to these transactions are deferred and recognized in net income as interest expense or other income in the same period or periods that the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated.

All hedges held by us are deemed to be effective in meeting the hedging objectives established by our corporate policy governing interest rate risk management. The effect of our derivative instruments on our financial statements is discussed more fully in Note 17.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distributions to stockholders. However, we believe that we will be organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and we intend to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner so that we will qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We may, however, be subject to certain state and local taxes.

Our taxable REIT subsidiaries, individually referred to as a TRS, are subject to federal, state and local taxes.

Underwriting Commissions and Costs

Underwriting commissions and costs incurred in connection with our stock offerings are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.

Earnings Per Share

We present both basic and diluted earnings per share, or EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, debt investments and accounts receivable. Gramercy places its cash investments in excess of insured amounts with high quality financial institutions. Our Manager performs ongoing analysis of credit risk concentrations in our debt investment portfolio by evaluating exposure to various markets, underlying property types, investment structure, term, sponsors, tenants and other credit metrics. Five investments accounted for more than 22% of the total carrying value of our debt investments as of June 30, 2007 compared to four investments, which accounted for more than 21% of the total carrying value of our debt investments as of December 31, 2006. Four investments accounted for approximately 20% and 19% of the revenue earned on our debt investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to five investments which accounted for approximately 21% and 20% of the revenue earned on our debt investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June of 2006 the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FAS 109. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This interpretation was effective January 1, 2007 for the Company. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS 157. SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 will not have a material effect on financial results.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, or SFAS 159, ‘‘The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.’’ SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that this pronouncement will have on our future financial results.

method investors in investment companies that continue investment company accounting in the parent’s consolidated financial statements or the financial statements of the equity method investor. The SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007. While the Company maintains an exemption from the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is therefore not regulated as an investment company, it is nonetheless in the process of assessing whether SOP 07-1 is applicable.

3. Loans, Other Lending Investments, and CMBS

The aggregate carrying values, allocated by product type and weighted average coupons of our loans, other lending investments and CMBS as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 the Company’s investment income from our loans, other lending investments and CMBS was generated by the following investment types:

	Three months ended June 30, 2007				Three months ended June 30, 2006
Investment Type	Investment Income		% of Total		Investment Income		% of Total

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, loans, other lending investments and CMBS, excluding corporate whole loans, had the following geographic diversification:

	June 30, 2007				December 31, 2006
Region	Carrying Value		% of Total		Carrying Value		% of Total
Northeast	$	1,301,825	48	%	$	1,169,790	53	%

Total	$	2,707,201	100	%	$	2,186,884	100	%

The following is a summary of the Company’s CMBS at June 30, 2007, all of which are designated as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value:

Description	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized gain		Gross Unrealized Loss			Estimated Fair Value
Floating rate CMBS	$	7,164	$	—	$	(737	)	$	6,427
Fixed rate CMBS	$	18,138	$	—	$	(500	)	$	17,638
Total	$	25,302	$	—	$	(1,237	)	$	24,065

The following table shows the Company’s fair value and gross unrealized losses and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2007:

	12 Months or Less					12 Months or More		Total
Description	Fair Value		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value	Gross Unrealized Losses	Fair Value		Gross Unrealized Losses
Floating rate CMBS	$	6,427	$	(737	)	—	—	$	6,427	$	(737	)
Fixed rate CMBS	17,638		(500		)	—	—	17,638		(500		)
Total	$	24,065	(1,237		)	—	—	$	24,065	$	(1,237	)

The temporary impairment of the available-for-sale securities results from the fair value of the securities falling below the amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses are primarily the result of market factors other than credit impairment and the Company believes the carrying value of the securities are fully recoverable over their expected holding period. The Company possesses both the intent and the ability to hold the securities until the Company has recovered the amortized costs. Accordingly, the Company does not believe any of the securities are other than temporarily impaired.

In connection with a preferred equity investment, which was repaid in October 2006, we have guaranteed a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the first mortgage loan that is a financial obligation of the entity in which we have invested in the event of a borrower default under such loan. The loan matures in 2032. This guarantee is considered to be an off-balance-sheet arrangement and will survive until the repayment of the first mortgage loan. As compensation, we received a credit enhancement fee of $125 from the borrower, which is recognized as the fair value of the guarantee and has been recorded on our balance sheet as a liability. The liability will be amortized over the life of the guarantee using the straight-line method and corresponding fee income will be recorded. Our maximum exposure under this guarantee is approximately $1,433 as of June 30, 2007. Under the terms of the guarantee, the investment sponsor is required to reimburse us for the entire amount paid under the guarantee until the guarantee expires.

4. Property Acquisitions

55 Corporate Drive

In June 2006 we closed on the acquisition of a 49.75% TIC interest in 55 Corporate Drive, located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, with a 0.25% interest to be acquired in the future. The property is comprised of three buildings totaling 670,000 square feet which is 100% net leased to an entity whose obligations are guaranteed by Sanofi-Aventis Group through April 2023. The transaction was valued at $236,000 and was financed with a $190,000, 10-year, fixed-rate first mortgage loan. The remaining 50% of the property is owned as a TIC interest by SL Green. Upon closing the acquisition of the property, the $90,000 whole loan previously held by us was repaid in full using proceeds from the new mortgage financing. We recorded our pro rata share of net income of the property of $89 and $163 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Following the acquisition and until the property was placed into service in December 2006, all income and expense at the property were capitalized as the property was being redeveloped and accordingly, no amounts were recognized in our results from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

5. Disposition of Security Interests in Property

200 Franklin Square Drive

In September 2005, we closed on the acquisition of a 100% fee interest in 200 Franklin Square Drive, located in Somerset, New Jersey. The property is a 200,000 square foot building which is 100% net leased to Philips Holding USA Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Philips Electronics, through December 2021. The property was acquired for a purchase price of $50,250, excluding closing costs, and financed with a $41,000, 10-year, fixed-rate first mortgage loan.

In March 2006, following the conversion of the entity that owns 200 Franklin Square Drive into a Delaware statutory trust, or DST, we sold approximately 29.3% of our security interests in the DST to a third party. Subsequently, we sold an additional 45.7% of our security interests in the DST to the same party, reducing our final ownership interest to 25.0%. We received total cash consideration of $12,800 for these interests and the buyer assumed 75% of the DST’s underlying mortgage debt. The disposition resulted in a net gain

of $4,530, after transaction costs. As a result of the disposition, this investment is now classified as an investment in joint venture and accounted for using the equity method. As of June 30, 2007 the investment has a carrying value of $2,397. We recorded our pro rata share of net income of the joint venture of $29 and $60 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

6. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

South Building at One Madison Avenue, New York, New York

In April 2005, we closed on a $57,503 initial investment in a joint venture with SL Green to acquire, own and operate the South Building located at One Madison Avenue, New York, New York, or the South Building. The joint venture is owned 45% by a wholly-owned subsidiary and 55% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of SL Green. The joint venture interests are pari passu. Also on April 29, 2005, the joint venture completed the acquisition of the South Building from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for the purchase price of approximately $802,800 plus closing costs, financed in part through a $690,000 first mortgage loan on the South Building. The first mortgage is non-recourse to us. The South Building comprises approximately 1.2 million square feet and is almost entirely net leased to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, or CS, pursuant to a lease with a 15-year remaining term. As of June 30, 2007 the investment had a carrying value of $54,539. We recorded our pro rata share of net losses of the joint venture of $293 and $353 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and our pro rata share of the net losses of the joint venture of $628 and $753 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. On July 2, 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell our entire investment in the joint venture to SL Green Realty Corp. for approximately $147.6 million. The sale closed on August 1, 2007.

101 S. Marengo Avenue, Pasadena, California

In November 2005, we closed on the purchase of a 50% interest in an office building in Pasadena, CA. We also acquired an interest in certain related assets as part of the transaction. The 345,000 square foot office property, which is net leased to Bank of America through September 2015, assuming the exercise of options, and related collateral were acquired for $52,000 plus closing costs, using a non-recourse, $50,000, 10-year fixed-rate first mortgage loan. We recorded our pro rata share of net losses of the joint venture of $350 and $334 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and our pro rata share of the net losses of the joint venture of $741 and $661 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

2 Herald Square, New York, New York

In April 2007, we closed on a $17,492 initial investment in a 45% TIC interest to acquire the fee interest in a parcel of land located at 2 Herald Square, located along 34th Street in New York, New York. The property is subject to a long-term ground lease with an unaffiliated third party for a term of 70 years. The remaining TIC interest is owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of SL Green. The TIC interests are pari passu. As of June 30, 2007, the investment had a carrying value of $18,227. We recorded our pro rata share of net income of $1,099 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

7. Junior Subordinated Debentures

In January 2006, May 2005 and August 2005, we completed issuances of $50,000 each in unsecured trust preferred securities through three DST’s, Gramercy Capital Trust I, or GCTI, Gramercy Capital Trust II, or GCTII, and Gramercy Capital Trust III, or GCT III, that are also wholly-owned subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership. The securities issued in January 2006 bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.65% for the first ten years ending January 2016, with an effective rate of 7.43% when giving effect to the swap arrangement previously entered into in contemplation of this financing. Thereafter the rate will float based on the three-month LIBOR plus 270 basis points. The securities issued in May 2005 bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.57% for the first ten years ending June 2015 and the securities issued in August 2005 bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.75% for the first ten years ending October 2015. Thereafter the rates will float based on the three-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points.

All issuances of trust preferred securities require quarterly interest distributions; however, payments may be deferred while the interest expense is accrued for a period of up to four consecutive quarters if our Operating Partnership exercises its right to defer such payments. The trust preferred securities are redeemable, at the option of our Operating Partnership, in whole or in part, with no prepayment premium any time after June 30, 2010, October 30, 2010 or January 30, 2011 for the securities issued by GCTI, GCTII and GCTIII, respectively.

GCTI, GCTII and GCTIII each issued $1,550 aggregate liquidation amount of common securities, representing 100% of the voting common stock of those entities to our Operating Partnership for a total purchase price of $4,650. GCTI, GCTII and GCTIII used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities and the common securities to purchase our Operating Partnership’s junior subordinated notes. The terms of the junior subordinated notes match the terms of the trust preferred securities. The notes are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness and certain other of our financial obligations. We realized net proceeds from each offering of approximately $48,956.

Our interests in GCTI, GCTII and GCTIII are accounted for using the equity method and the assets and liabilities of those entities are not consolidated into our financial statements. Interest on the junior subordinated notes is included in interest expense on our consolidated income statements while the value of the junior subordinated notes, net of our investment in the trusts that issued the securities, are presented as a separate item in our consolidated balance sheet.

8. Collateralized Debt Obligations

During 2005 we issued approximately $1,000,000 of CDOs through two indirect subsidiaries, Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2005-1 Ltd., or the 2005 Issuer, and Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2005-1 LLC, or the 2005 Co-Issuer. The CDO consists of $810,500 of investment grade notes, $84,500 of non-investment grade notes, which were co-issued by the 2005 Issuer and the 2005 Co-Issuer, and $105,000 of preferred shares, which were issued by the 2005 Issuer. The investment grade notes were issued with floating rate coupons with a combined weighted average rate of three-month LIBOR plus 0.49%. We incurred approximately $11,957 of costs related to Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2005-1, which are amortized on a level- yield basis over the average life of the CDO.

During 2006 we issued an additional approximately $1,000,000 of CDOs through two newly-formed indirect subsidiaries, Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2006-1 Ltd., or the 2006 Issuer, and Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2006-1 LLC, or the 2006 Co-Issuer. The CDO consists of $903,750 of investment grade notes, $38,750 of non-investment grade notes, which were co-issued by the 2006 Issuer and the 2006 Co-Issuer, and $57,500 of preferred shares, which were issued by the 2006 Issuer. The investment grade notes were issued with floating rate coupons with a combined weighted average rate of three-month LIBOR plus 0.37%. We incurred approximately $11,364 of costs related to Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2006-1, which are amortized on a level-yield basis over the average life of the CDO.

We retained all non-investment grade securities, the preferred shares and the common shares in the Issuer of each CDO. The Issuer in each CDO holds assets, consisting primarily of whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments, which serve as collateral for the CDO. Each CDO may be replenished, pursuant to certain rating agency guidelines relating to credit quality and diversification, with substitute collateral for loans that are repaid during the first five years of the CDO. Thereafter, the CDO securities will be retired in sequential order from senior-most to junior-most as loans are repaid. The financial statements of the Issuer of each CDO are consolidated in our financial statements. The investment grade notes are treated as a secured financing, and are non-recourse to us. Proceeds from the sale of the investment grade notes issued in each CDO were used to repay substantially all outstanding debt under our repurchase agreements and to fund additional investments.

9. Debt Obligations

Repurchase Facilities

We have two repurchase facilities, one with Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC or one or more of its affiliates, or Wachovia, and one with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, or Goldman.

The repurchase facility with Wachovia is a $500,000 facility. This facility was initially established as a $250,000 facility, was increased to $350,000 effective January 3, 2005, and was subsequently increased to $500,000 effective April 22, 2005. On June 28, 2007, we modified the facility by further reducing the interest spreads. As a result of the modifications, the $500,000 facility bears interest at spreads of 0.65% to 2.50% over one-month LIBOR and, based on our expected investment activities, provides for advance rates that vary from 60% to 95% based upon the collateral provided under a borrowing base calculation. On October 13, 2006, we extended the facility’s maturity date until October 2009. The lender has a consent right with respect to the inclusion of investments in this facility, determines periodically the market value of the investments, and has the right to require additional collateral if the estimated market value of the included investments declines. We had no accrued interest and borrowings of $363,554 at a weighted average spread to LIBOR of 1.54% as of June 30, 2007, and no accrued interest and borrowings of $151,403 at a weighted average spread to LIBOR of 1.86%, as of December 31, 2006.

Borrowings under the Wachovia facility at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were secured by the following investments:

	Carrying Value (1)
Investment Type	2007		2006
Whole loans	$	517,887	$	117,328
Mezzanine loans	221,823		139,680
Preferred equity	32,485		14,955
Total	$	772,195	$	271,963

(1) Approximates fair value.

We also have a repurchase facility with Goldman. On October 13, 2006 we increased this facility from $200,000 to $400,000 and extended its maturity date until September 2009. On June 28, 2007, we modified the facility by further reducing the interest spreads. As a result of the modifications, the facility bears interest at spreads of 1.00% to 1.50% over one-month LIBOR and, based on our expected investment activities, provides for advance rates that vary from 70% to 90% based upon the collateral provided under a borrowing base calculation. As with the Wachovia facility, the lender has a consent right to the inclusion of investments in this facility, determines periodically the market value of the investments, and has the right to require additional collateral if the estimated market value of the included investments declines. We had accrued interest of $1,006 and borrowings of $193,105 at a weighted average spread to LIBOR of 1.20% as of June 30, 2007, and accrued interest of $261 and borrowings of $126,009 at a weighted average spread to LIBOR of 1.51% under this facility at December 31, 2006.

Borrowings under the Goldman facility at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were secured by the following investments:

	Carrying Value (1)
Investment Type	2007		2006
Whole loans	$	214,571	$	97,795
Mezzanine loans	41,586		71,798
Total	$	256,157	$	169,593

(1) Approximates fair value.

The terms of our repurchase facilities (together with any related guarantees) include covenants that (a) limit our maximum total indebtedness to no more than 85% of total assets, (b) require us to maintain minimum liquidity of at least $15,000, (c) require our fixed charge coverage ratio to be at no time less than 1.25 to 1.00, (d) require our minimum interest coverage ratio to be at no time less than 1.35 to 1.00, and (e) require us to maintain minimum tangible net worth of not less than (i) $400,000, plus (ii) 75% of the net proceeds of our subsequent equity issuances following the date of the June 2007 amendments. The covenants also restrict us from making distributions in excess of a maximum of 100% of our FFO (as defined therein) under the Wachovia facility, except that we may in any case pay distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status. An event of default can be triggered on our repurchase facilities if, among other things, GKK Manager LLC is terminated as our Manager. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

The repurchase facilities require that we pay down borrowings under these facilities as principal payments on the loans and investments pledged to these facilities are received. Assets pledged as collateral under these facilities may include stabilized and transitional whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans, and rated CMBS or commercial real estate CDO securities originated or acquired by us.

In certain circumstances, we have purchased debt investments from a counterparty and subsequently financed the acquisition of those debt investments through repurchase agreements with the same counterparty. We currently record the acquisition of the debt investments as assets and the related repurchase agreements as financing liabilities gross on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income earned on the debt investments and interest expense incurred on the repurchase obligations are reported gross on the consolidated income statements. However, under a certain technical interpretation of FAS 140, such transactions may not qualify as a purchase by us. We believe, and it is industry practice, that we are accounting for these transactions in an appropriate manner. However, the result of this technical interpretation would prevent us from presenting the debt investments and repurchase agreements and the related interest income and interest expense on a gross basis on our financial statements. Instead, we would present the net investment in these transactions with the counterparty and a derivative with the corresponding change in fair value of the derivative being recorded through earnings. The value of the derivative would reflect changes in the value of the underlying debt investments and changes in the value of the underlying credit provided by the counterparty.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2006, we closed on a $100,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, with an initial term of three years and a one-year extension option. On June 28, 2007 the facility was increased to $175,000 and interest spreads on the facility were reduced. The facility is supported by a negative pledge of an identified asset base with advance rates that vary from 30% to 90% of the asset value provided under a borrowing base calculation. The lender also has consent rights to the inclusion of assets in the borrowing base calculation. Following the modifications in June 2007, the facility bears interest at 1.65% over one-month LIBOR. We had accrued interest of $288 and borrowings of $90,000 as of June 30, 2007, and accrued interest of $75 and borrowings of $15,000 at a spread to LIBOR of 2.10% under this facility at December 31, 2006.

The terms of the unsecured revolving credit facility include covenants that (a) limit our maximum total indebtedness to no more than 85% of total assets, (b) require our fixed charge coverage ratio to be at no time less than 1.30, and (c) require us to maintain minimum tangible net worth of not less than $450,000 plus 75% of the net proceeds from equity offerings completed following the date of the June 2007 amendment. The covenants also restrict us from making distributions in excess of a maximum of 100% of our FFO (as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT), except that we may in any case pay distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status. An event of default can be triggered on our unsecured revolving credit facility if, among other things, GKK Manager LLC is terminated as our Manager. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

In conjunction with the closing of the unsecured revolving credit facility with KeyBank in 2006, our $25,000 revolving credit facility with Wachovia was terminated.

Mortgage Loans

We have one consolidated interest-only mortgage loan related to 55 Corporate Drive in an amount equal to our ownership percentage in the entity multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, which financed the acquisition of 55 Corporate Drive in June 2006. The mortgage has an outstanding principal balance of $190,000, of which we have consolidated 49.75% or $94,525, with an effective interest rate of 5.75% and a term of ten years.

Combined aggregate principal maturities of our consolidated CDOs, repurchase facilities, trust preferred securities, proportionately consolidated mortgage note payable related to our TIC interests in 55 Corporate Drive, and unsecured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2007 are as follows:

	CDOs		Repurchase Facilities		Trust Preferred Securities		Mortgage Notes Payable			Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility		Total
2007	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—		$	—	$	—
2008	—		—		—		—			—		—
2009	—		556,659		—		—			—		556,659
2010	—		—		—		—			90,000		90,000
2011	—		—		—		—			—		—
Thereafter	1,714,250		—		150,000		94,525		(1)	—		1,958,775
Total	$	1,714,250	$	556,659	$	150,000	$	94,525		$	90,000	$	2,605,434

(1) We have a 49.75% interest in the mortgage note.

10. Operating Partnership Agreement / Manager

At June 30, 2007, we owned all of the Class A limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership. At June 30, 2007, the majority of the Class B limited partnership interests were owned by our Manager and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. Interests were also held by certain officers and employees of SL Green, including some of whom are our executive officers, certain of which interests are subject to performance thresholds.

At June 30, 2007, the majority of the interests in our Manager were held by SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. Interests were also held by certain officers and employees of SL Green, including some of whom are our executive officers, certain of which interests are subject to performance thresholds.

11. Related Party Transactions

In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into a management agreement with our Manager, which was subsequently amended and restated in April 2006. The amended and restated management agreement provides for a term through December 2009 with automatic one-year extension options and is subject to certain termination rights. We pay our Manager an annual management fee equal to 1.75% of our gross stockholders equity (as defined in the amended and restated management agreement) inclusive of our trust preferred securities. We incurred expense to our Manager under this agreement of an aggregate of $3,109 and $5,775 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively and $2,501 and $4,739 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

To provide an incentive to enhance the value of our common stock, the holders of the Class B limited partner interests of our Operating Partnership are entitled to an incentive return equal to 25% of the amount by which FFO plus certain accounting gains and losses (as defined in the amended and restated partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership) exceed the product of our weighted average stockholders equity (as defined in the amended and restated partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership) multiplied by 9.5% (divided by four to adjust for quarterly calculations). We will record any distributions on the Class B limited partner interests as an incentive distribution expense in the period when earned and when payments of such amounts have become probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with the partnership agreement. We incurred $3,784 and $6,601 with respect to such Class B limited partner interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively and $1,578 and $2,771 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

We are obligated to reimburse our Manager for its costs incurred under an asset servicing agreement between our Manager and an affiliate of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. and a separate outsourcing agreement between our Manager and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. The asset servicing agreement, which was amended and restated in April 2006, provides for an annual fee payable to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. by us of 0.05% of the book value of all credit tenant lease assets and non-investment grade bonds and 0.15% of the book value of all other assets. The asset servicing fee can be reduced by SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. for fees paid directly to outside servicers by us. The outsourcing agreement currently provides for an annual fee payable by us, which fee is currently $1,326 per year, increasing 3% annually over the prior year on the anniversary date of the outsourcing agreement in August of each year. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we realized expense of $332 and $322, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we realized expense of $664 and $645, respectively, to our Manager under the outsourcing agreement. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we realized expense of $890 and $539, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we realized expense of $1,659 and $1,000, respectively, to our Manager under the asset servicing agreement.

In connection with the closing of our first CDO in July 2005, the Issuer, Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2005-1 Ltd., entered into a collateral management agreement with our Manager. Pursuant to the collateral management agreement, our Manager has agreed to provide certain advisory and administrative services in relation to the collateral debt securities and other eligible investments securing the CDO notes. The collateral management agreement provides for a senior collateral management fee, payable quarterly in accordance with the priority of payments as set forth in the indenture, equal to 0.15% per annum of the net outstanding portfolio balance, and a subordinate collateral management fee, payable quarterly in accordance with the priority of payments as set forth in the indenture, equal to 0.25% per annum of the net outstanding portfolio balance. Net outstanding portfolio balance is the sum of the (i) aggregate principal balance of the collateral debt securities, excluding defaulted securities, (ii) aggregate principal balance of all principal proceeds held as cash and eligible investments in certain accounts, and (iii) with respect to the defaulted securities, the calculation amount of such defaulted securities. As compensation for the performance of its obligations as collateral manager under the first CDO, our Board of Directors has allocated to our Manager the subordinate collateral management fee paid on securities not held by us. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 we owned all of the non-investment grade bonds, preferred equity and equity in both CDOs. The senior collateral management fee and balance of the subordinate collateral management fee is allocated to us. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we realized expense of $512 and $499, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we realized expense of $1,019 and $1,000, respectively, to our Manager under such collateral management agreement.

Collateral manager fees paid on our CDO that closed in August 2006 are governed by the amended and restated management agreement as a “transitional managed” CDO, as defined in the amended and restated management agreement, consisting primarily of debt investments secured by non-stabilized real estate. The amended and restated management agreement provides that in connection with formations of collateralized debt obligations or other securitization vehicles after the execution of the amended and restated management agreement, if a collateral manager is retained, our Manager or an affiliate will be the collateral manager and will receive the following fees: (i) 0.25% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for “transitional managed” CDOs, (ii) 0.15% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for “non-transitional managed” CDOs, (iii) 0.10% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for static CDOs that own primarily non-investment grade bonds, and (iv) 0.05% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for static CDOs that own primarily investment grade bonds; limited in each instance by the fees that are paid to the collateral manager. The balance of the fees paid by the CDOs for collateral management services are paid to us. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 we realized expense of $571 and $1,136, respectively, to our Manager under this agreement.

In April 2005, we closed on a $57,503 initial investment in a joint venture with SL Green to acquire, own and operate the South Building located at One Madison Avenue, New York, New York, or the South Building. The joint venture, which was created to acquire, own and operate the South Building, is owned 45% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of us and 55% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of SL Green. The

joint venture interests are pari passu. Also on April 29, 2005, the joint venture completed the acquisition of the South Building from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for the purchase price of approximately $802,800 plus closing costs, financed in part through a $690,000 first mortgage loan on the South Building. The South Building comprises approximately 1.2 million square feet and is almost entirely net leased to CS pursuant to a lease with a 15-year remaining term. On July 2, 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell our entire investment in the joint venture to SL Green Realty Corp. for approximately $147.6 million. The sale closed on August 1, 2007.

In June 2006 we closed on the acquisition of a 49.75% TIC interest in 55 Corporate Drive, located in Bridgewater, New Jersey with a 0.25% interest to be acquired in the future. The remaining 50% of the property is owned as a TIC interest by an affiliate of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.. The property is comprised of three buildings totaling approximately six hundred and seventy thousand square feet which is 100% net leased to an entity whose obligations are guaranteed by Sanofi-Aventis Group through April 2023. The transaction was valued at $236,000 and was financed with a $190,000, 10-year, fixed-rate first mortgage loan.

Commencing in May 2005 we are party to a lease agreement with SLG Graybar Sublease LLC, an affiliate of SL Green, for our corporate offices at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York. The lease is for approximately five thousand square feet with an option to lease an additional approximately two thousand square feet and carries a term of ten years with rents on the entire seven thousand square feet of approximately $249 per annum for year one rising to $315 per annum in year ten. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 we incurred expenses of $62 and $125, respectively, under this lease.

Bright Star Couriers LLC, or Bright Star, provides messenger services to us. Bright Star is owned by Gary Green, a son of Stephen L. Green, our Chairman. The aggregate amount of fees paid by us for such services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2 and $3, respectively, and $2 and $3 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

In July 2005, we closed on the purchase from an SL Green affiliate of a $40,000 mezzanine loan which bears interest at 11.20%. As part of that sale, the seller retained an interest-only participation. We have determined that the yield on our mezzanine loan after giving effect to the interest-only participation retained by the seller is at market. The mezzanine loan is secured by the equity interests in an office property in New York, New York.

In February 2006, we closed on the purchase of a $90,000 whole loan, which bears interest at three month LIBOR plus 2.15%, to a joint venture in which SL Green is an equity holder. The loan is secured by 55 Corporate Drive in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The loan was repaid in full in June 2006 with the proceeds from new mortgage financing obtained in connection with the sale of the property, 49.75% of which is now owned by us through a TIC structure.

In March 2006, we closed on the purchase of a $25,000 mezzanine loan, which bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 8.00%, to a joint venture in which SL Green is an equity holder. The mezzanine loan was repaid in full on May 9, 2006, when we originated a $90,287 whole loan, which bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.75%, to the joint venture. The whole loan is secured by office and industrial properties in northern New Jersey and has a book value of $90,216 and $90,049 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

In August 2006, we acquired from a financial institution a 50% pari passu interest in a $65,000 preferred equity investment secured by an office property in New York, New York. An affiliate of SL Green simultaneously acquired and owns the other 50% pari passu interest. The investment bears interest at a blended fixed rate of 10.52%.

In December 2006, we acquired from a financial institution a pari passu interest of $125,000 in a $200,000 mezzanine loan, which bears interest at 6.384% and is secured by a multi-family portfolio in New York, New York. An affiliate of SL Green simultaneously acquired the remaining $75,000 pari passu interest in the mezzanine loan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we earned fees of $163 from SL Green representing SL Green’s proportionate share of fees for financing and structural advisory services related to a specific potential transaction.

In January 2007, we originated two mezzanine loans totaling $200,000. The $150,000 loan is secured by a pledge of cash flow distributions and partial equity interests in a portfolio of multi-family properties and currently bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 6.00%. The $50,000 loan was initially secured by cash flow distributions and partial equity interests in an office property. On March 8, 2007 the $50,000 loan was increased by $31,000 when the existing mortgage loan on the property was defeased, upon which event our loan became secured by a first mortgage lien on the property and was reclassified as a whole loan. The whole loan currently bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 6.00% for the initial funding and one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% for the subsequent funding. At closing, an affiliate of SL Green acquired from us and currently holds a 15.15% pari passu interest in the mezzanine loan and the whole loan. As of

June 30, 2007, our interest in the mezzanine loan had a carrying value of $114,408 and our interest in the whole loan had a carrying value of $69,573.

In March 2007, we closed on the acquisition of a $62,500 pari passu interest in one tranche of a multiple-level mezzanine structure primarily secured by pledges of equity and rights to cash distributions, which was used to fund the acquisition of a large office portfolio. The investment bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.85%. At closing, an affiliate of SL Green simultaneously acquired a $62,500 pari passu interest in the same tranche of the mezzanine structure. The investment was repaid in full in May 2007.

In July 2007, we closed on a $25,083 investment in a 45% TIC interest to acquire a 79% fee interest and 21% leasehold interest in the property located at 885 Third Avenue, otherwise known as The Lipstick Building. The property is subject to a 70-year ground lease, with an unaffiliated third party. The remaining TIC interest is owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of SL Green. The TIC interests are pari passu.

In July 2007, we closed on a $12,772, 100% fee interest in the property located at 292 Madison Avenue, New York, NY, purchased from SL Green. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a 70-year ground lease, with an unaffiliated third party.

12. Deferred Costs

Deferred costs at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of the following:

	2007			2006
Deferred financing	$	37,743		$	35,103
Deferred acquisition	1,802			2,195
	39,545			37,298
Less accumulated amortization	(11,332		)	(8,571		)
	$	28,213		$	28,727

Deferred financing costs relate to our existing repurchase facilities with Wachovia and Goldman, our unsecured revolving credit facility with KeyBank, our CDOs, the proportionately consolidated mortgage note payable related to our TIC interest in 55 Corporate Drive and the trust preferred securities. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense based on the remaining term of the related financing.

Deferred acquisition costs consist of fees and direct costs incurred to originate our investments and are amortized using the effective yield method over the related term of the investment.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following discussion of fair value was determined by our Manager, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, accrued interest, and accounts payable balances reasonably approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items. The carrying value of our CDOs, repurchase and revolving credit facilities approximate fair value because they bear interest at floating rates, which we believe, for facilities with a similar risk profile, reasonably approximate market rates. Our junior subordinated debentures reasonably approximate fair value based upon the amount at which similarly issued instruments would be issued in the current market. Our fixed rate mortgage payable is carried at its unpaid principal balance, which approximates fair value due to the short period of time the note has been outstanding. Loans and CMBS are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value as determined by our Manager.

The fair value of our fixed-rate debt investments as determined by our Manager in consultation with market dealers of such instruments as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is:

	June 30, 2007				December 31, 2006
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Fixed-rate debt investments	$	498,476	$	498,476	$	351,585	$	351,585
Fixed-rate CMBS	$	17,638	$	17,638	$	—	$	—

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to us at June 30, 2007. Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

Our authorized capital stock consists of 125,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value, of which we have authorized the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of June 30, 2007, 26,072,471 shares of common stock and 4,600,000 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

Preferred Stock

On April 18, 2007, we issued 4,600,000 shares of our 8.125% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock (including the underwriters’ over-allotment option of 600,000 shares) with a mandatory liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Holders of the Series A cumulative redeemable preferred shares receive annual dividends of $2.03125 per share paid on a quarterly basis and dividends are cumulative, subject to certain provisions. On or after April 18, 2012, we may at our option redeem the Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock at par for cash. Net proceeds (after deducting underwriting fees and expenses) from the offering were approximately $111,205.

Common Stock

As of the date of our formation, April 12, 2004, we had 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding valued at approximately $200. On August 2, 2004 we completed our initial public offering of 12,500,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $172,900, which was used to fund investments and commence our operations. As of June 30, 2007, 493,583 restricted shares had also been issued under our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Equity Incentive Plan. These shares have a vesting period of two to four years and are not entitled to receive distributions declared by us on our common stock until such time as the shares have vested, or the shares have been designated to receive dividends by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.

On December 3, 2004, we sold 5,500,000 shares of our common stock, at a price of $17.27 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $93,740 under a private placement exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. We subsequently registered these shares for resale under the Securities Act in August 2005. A total of 4,225,000 shares were sold to various institutional investors and an additional 1,275,000 shares were sold to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. pursuant to its contractual right to choose to maintain a 25% ownership interest in the outstanding shares of our common stock. Of the 5,500,000 shares sold, 2,000,000 shares were settled on December 31, 2004 and the remaining 3,500,000 shares were settled on January 3, 2005.

On September 14, 2005, we sold 3,833,333 shares of common stock, at a price of $25.80 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $97,830. A total of 2,875,000 shares were sold through public offering and an additional 958,333 shares were sold to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. pursuant to its contractual right to choose to maintain a 25% ownership interest in our outstanding shares of common stock. Net proceeds were used for loan acquisitions and originations, repayment of outstanding principal under one of our repurchase facilities and general corporate purposes.

On May 16, 2006, we sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $26.75 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $79,787. A total of 2,250,000 shares were sold through a public offering and an additional 750,000 shares were sold to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. pursuant to its contractual right to choose to maintain a 25% ownership interest in our outstanding shares of common stock. After this offering, SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. owned 6,418,333 shares of our

common stock. Net proceeds were used for loan acquisitions and originations, repayment of outstanding principal under our repurchase facilities and general corporate purposes.

In May 2007 our new $500,000 shelf registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. This registration statement provides us with the ability to issue common and preferred stock, depository shares and warrants. We currently have $500,000 available under the shelf.

Equity Incentive Plan

As part of our initial public offering, we instituted our Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, authorizes (i) the grant of stock options that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or ISOs, (ii) the grant of stock options that do not qualify, or NQSOs, (iii) the grant of stock options in lieu of cash directors’ fees and (iv) grants of shares of restricted and unrestricted common stock. The exercise price of stock options will be determined by the compensation committee, but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. At June 30, 2007, approximately 664,714 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Management and outsourcing fees paid to our Manager and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. are sufficient to reimburse our Manager and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. for the applicable compensation, including payroll taxes, of the employees who provide services to Gramercy pursuant to the confirmatory addendum to the Management Agreement between Gramercy, our Manager and our Operating Partnership. These awardees are considered co-leased employees. Options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan to recipients who are co-leased employees of Gramercy are exercisable at the fair market value on the date of grant and, subject to termination of employment, expire ten years from the date of grant, are not transferable other than on death, and are exercisable in three to four annual installments commencing one year from the date of grant. In some instances, options may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan to persons who provide significant services to us or our affiliates, but are not considered co-leased employees because compensation for their services is not covered by our management agreement or outsourcing agreement. Options granted to recipients that are not co-leased employees have the same terms as those issued to co-leased employees except as it relates to any performance-based provisions within the grant. To the extent there are performance provisions associated with a grant to a recipient who is not a co-leased employee, an estimated expense related to these options is recognized over the vesting period and the final expense is reconciled at the point performance has been met, or the measurement date. If no performance based provision exists, the fair value of the options is calculated on a quarterly basis and the related expense is recognized over the vesting period.

A summary of the status of our stock options as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are presented below:

	June 30, 2007				December 31, 2006
	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance at beginning of year	830,001		$	18.02	733,584		$	16.47
Granted	424,500		$	30.94	197,500		$	23.49
Exercised	(57,664	)	$	18.47	(63,749	)	$	15.95
Lapsed or cancelled	(25,834	)	$	20.96	(37,334	)	$	20.18
Balance at end of period	1,171,003		$	21.45	830,001		$	18.02

All options were granted within a price range of $15.00 to $33.54. The remaining weighted average contractual life of the options was 8.5 years. Compensation expense of $1,141 will be recorded over the course of the next 15 months, representing the remaining weighted average vesting period of the option awards as of June 30, 2007. Compensation expense of $136 and $326 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the issuance of stock options, compared to $61 and $147 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Through June 30, 2007, 495,583 restricted shares had been issued under the Equity Incentive Plan, of which 68% have vested. The unvested shares are not currently entitled to receive distributions declared by us on our common stock until such time as the shares have vested. Unvested shares may be entitled to receive dividends at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Holders of restricted shares are prohibited from selling such shares until they vest but are provided the ability to vote such shares beginning on the date of grant. Compensation expense of $1,578 will be recorded over the course of the next 7 months, representing the remaining weighted average vesting period of the restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2007. Compensation expense of $652 and $1,875 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, related to the issuance of restricted

shares, compared to $295 and $652 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Outperformance Plan

In June 2005, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved a long-term incentive compensation program, the 2005 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2005 Outperformance Plan, all of whom are co-leased employees, will share in a “performance pool” if our total return to stockholders for the period from June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2008 exceeds a cumulative total return to stockholders of 30% during the measurement period over a base share price of $20.21 per share. The size of the pool will be 10% of the outperformance amount in excess of the 30% benchmark, subject to a maximum limit equal to the lesser of 4% of our outstanding shares and units of limited partnership interest as of the end of the performance period, or 1,200,000 shares. If our total return to stockholders from June 1, 2005 to any subsequent date exceeds 80% and remains at that level or higher for 30 consecutive days, then a minimum performance pool will be established. In the event the potential performance pool reaches the maximum dilution cap before May 31, 2008 and remains at that level or higher for 30 consecutive days, the performance period will end early and the pool will be formed on the last day of such 30-day period. Each participant’s award under the 2005 Outperformance Plan is designated as a specified percentage of the aggregate performance pool to be allocated to such participant assuming the 30% benchmark is achieved. Individual awards under the 2005 Outperformance Plan will be made in the form of partnership units, or LTIP Units, that may ultimately become exchangeable for shares of our common stock or cash, at our election. Under the 2005 Outperformance Plan, LTIP Units have been granted and additional LTIP Units may be granted in the future prior to the determination of the performance pool; however, these LTIP Units will only vest upon satisfaction of performance and other thresholds, and will not be entitled to distributions until after the performance pool, or minimum performance pool, is established. The 2005 Outperformance Plan provides that if a pool is established, each participant will also be entitled to the distributions that would have been paid on the number of LTIP Units earned, had they been issued at the beginning of the performance period. Those distributions will be paid in the form of additional LTIP Units. Once a performance pool has been established, the earned LTIP Units will receive regular quarterly distributions on a per unit basis equal to the dividends per share paid on our common stock, whether or not they are vested. Any LTIP Units that are not earned upon the establishment of the performance pool will be automatically forfeited, and the LTIP Units that are earned will be subject to time-based vesting, with 50% of the LTIP Units earned vesting in May 2009 and the balance vesting one year later based on continued employment with our Manager or SL Green. We will record the expense of the restricted stock award in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123(R). Compensation expense of $383 and $766 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, related to the 2005 Outperformance Plan, compared to $293 and $586 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Deferred Stock Compensation Plan for Directors

Under our Independent Director’s Deferral Program, which commenced April 2005, our independent directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer fee, chairman fees and meeting fees. Unless otherwise elected by a participant, fees deferred under the program shall be credited in the form of phantom stock units. The phantom stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon such directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control by us, as defined by the program. Phantom stock units are credited to each independent director quarterly using the closing price of our common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating independent director who elects to receive fees in the form of phantom stock units has the option to have their account credited for an equivalent amount of phantom stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter or have dividends paid in cash.

As of June 30, 2007, there were approximately 26,950 phantom stock units outstanding, of which 16,951 units are vested.

15. Benefit Plans

We do not maintain a defined benefit pension plan, post-retirement health and welfare plan, 401(k) plan or other benefits plans as we do not have any employees. These benefits are provided to its employees by our Manager, a majority-owned subsidiary of SL Green.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

We and our Operating Partnership are not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us or our investments, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by our Operating Partnership and us related to litigation will not materially affect our financial position, operating results or liquidity.

Our corporate offices at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York are subject to an operating lease agreement with SLG Graybar Sublease LLC, an affiliate of SL Green, effective May 1, 2005. The lease is for approximately five thousand square feet with an option to lease an additional approximately two thousand square feet and carries a term of ten years with rents on the entire seven thousand square feet of approximately $249 per annum for year one rising to $315 per annum in year ten.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under our operating lease as of June 30, 2007.

17. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging

FASB No. 133, or SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which became effective January 1, 2001, requires Gramercy to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or

recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. SFAS 133 may increase or decrease reported net income and stockholders’ equity prospectively, depending on future levels of LIBOR interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows, provided the contract is carried through to full term.

The following table summarizes the notional and fair value of our derivative financial instrument at June 30, 2007. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in this instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks:

	Benchmark Rate	Notional Value		Strike Rate		Effective Date	Expiration Date	Fair Value
Interest Rate Swap	1 month LIBOR	$	64,076	4.990	%	1/2007	1/2017	$	2,393

Total		$	609,656					$	12,898

At June 30, 2007, derivative instruments were reported at their fair value as net assets of $12,898. Offsetting adjustments are represented as deferred gains in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of $12,517. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized a reduction in interest expense of $21 and $14, respectively, attributable to the ineffective component of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. We reclassified through earnings $515 and $940 for the three and six months ended, respectively, representing interest net settlements and the gains and losses previously reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which were reclassified into earnings at the same time that the forecasted transactions affect earnings. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $403 and $892 decrease and increase, respectively, in earnings representing the change in value of undesignated derivatives which are not speculative for economic purposes, one of which was related to a debt investment sold during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Currently, all derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedging instruments with the exception of a $20,000 notional cap, and a $9,363 notional Prime-LIBOR basis swap, which are effective economic hedges but have not been designated. Over time, the realized and unrealized gains and losses held in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income will be reclassified into earnings in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings.

We are hedging exposure to variability in future interest payments on our debt facilities and cash flows for future transactions except in the case of swaps we may enter into from time to time, including TROR swaps, which are intended to hedge our exposure to variability in the rate of return in excess of anticipated future interest payments on that portion of our debt facilities used to fund fixed rate

mortgage loan assets held as available for sale.

18. Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distributions to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and will operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and we intend to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner so that we will qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We may, however, be subject to certain state and local taxes.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $429 and $335 of income tax expense, respectively, in income from continuing operations for income attributable to our wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries. We have assumed an effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of 44% taking into consideration the anticipated applicable U.S. federal statutory tax rate at June 30, 2007 of 34% and state and local taxes.

19. Environmental Matters

Our management believes we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable Federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding environmental issues. Our management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a materially adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

20. Segment Reporting

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, or “SFAS No. 131,” establishes standards for the way that public entities report information about operating segments in their annual financial statements. As of June 30, 2007 we were a REIT focused primarily on originating and acquiring loans and securities related to real estate and under the provisions of SFAS No. 131 operated in only one segment.

21. Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities

Following the conversion of the entity that owns 200 Franklin Square Drive into a DST, we sold approximately 75% of our security interests in the DST to a third party, reducing our final ownership interest to 25.0%. We received total cash consideration of $12,800 for these interests and the buyer assumed 75% of the DST’s underlying mortgage debt. As a result of the transaction, the property is no longer consolidated onto our balance sheet, but instead is accounted for as an equity method investment.

The following table represents non-cash activities recognized in other comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

	2007		2006
Deferred gains/(losses) and other non-cash activity related to derivatives	$	10,864	$	6,015

22. Subsequent Events

In July 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell our entire investment in the One Madison Avenue joint venture to SL Green Realty Corp. for approximately $147.6 million. The sale closed on August 1, 2007.

On July 25, 2007, we priced Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2007-1 (“CDO 3”), which closed on August 8, 2007 and resulted in the issuance of approximately $1,100,000 of CDOs through two indirect subsidiaries, Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2007-1 Ltd., or the 2007 Issuer, and Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2007-1 LLC, or the 2007 Co-Issuer. CDO 3 will consist of $1,045,550 of investment grade notes, $22,000 of non-investment grade notes, which will be co-issued by the 2007 Issuer and the 2007 Co-Issuer, and $32,450 of preferred shares, which will be issued by the 2007 Issuer. The investment grade notes were issued with a combination of floating rate and fixed rate coupons with a combined weighted average spread of 44.7 basis points. Transaction costs related to Gramercy Real Estate CDO 2007-1 will be amortized on an effective-yield basis over the average life of the CDO.

We retained all non-investment grade securities, the preferred shares and the common shares in the 2007 Issuer. CDO 3 will hold assets, consisting primarily of investment-grade rated CMBS, whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments, which serve as collateral for the CDO. The non-CMBS collateral of CDO 3 may be replenished, pursuant to certain rating agency guidelines relating to credit quality and diversification, with substitute collateral for loans that are repaid or sold by the Issuer during the first five years of the CDO. Thereafter, the CDO securities will be retired in sequential order from senior-most to junior-most as collateral is repaid. The financial statements of the 2007 Issuer will be consolidated in our financial statements. The investment grade notes will be treated as a secured financing, and will be non-recourse to us.

The Company will utilize the proceeds of the CDO 3 issuance to retire certain outstanding borrowings, and to acquire virtually all of the Company’s existing fixed-rate loans currently financed in CDO 1 and CDO 2. CDO 3 closed on August 8, 2007.

ITEM 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a commercial real estate specialty finance company that focuses on the direct origination and acquisition of whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, and net lease investments involving commercial properties throughout the United States. We have also established a real estate securities business that will focus on the acquisition, trading and financing of commercial mortgage backed securities, or CMBS, and other real estate related securities. When evaluating transactions, we assess our risk-adjusted return and target transactions with yields that seek to provide excess returns for the risks being taken. We conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating partnership, GKK Capital LP, or our Operating Partnership. We are externally managed and advised by GKK Manager LLC, or our Manager, a majority-owned subsidiary of SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG), or SL Green. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and generally will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent we distribute our income to our stockholders. However, we may establish TRSs to effect various taxable transactions. Those TRSs would incur federal, state and local taxes on the taxable income from their activities.

In each financing transaction we undertake, we seek to control as much of the capital structure as possible in order to be able to identify and retain that portion that provides the best risk adjusted returns. This is generally achieved through the direct origination of whole loans, the ownership of which permits a wide variety of financing, syndication, and securitization executions to achieve excess returns for the risks being taken. By providing a single source of financing for developers and sponsors, we streamline the lending process, provide greater certainty for borrowers, and retain the high yield debt instruments that we manufacture. By originating, rather than buying, whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine debt and preferred equity, we strive to deliver superior returns to our stockholders.

Since our inception, we have completed transactions in a variety of markets and secured by a variety of property types, and the market for commercial real estate debt has continued to demonstrate low rates of default, high relative returns, and inflows of capital. Consequently, the market for debt instruments has evidenced declining yields and more flexible credit standards and loan structures. In particular, “conduit” originators who package whole loans for resale to investors have driven debt yields lower while maintaining substantial liquidity because of the strong demand for the resulting securities. Because of reduced profits in the most liquid sectors of the mortgage finance business, several large institutions have begun originating large bridge loans for the purpose of generating interest income, rather than the typical focus on trading profits. In this environment we have focused on areas where we have comparative advantages rather than competing for product merely on the basis of yield or structure. This has particularly included whole loan origination in markets and transactions where we have an advantage due to (i) knowledge or relationships we have, (ii) knowledge or relationships of our largest stockholder, SL Green, and (iii) where we have an ability to better assess and manage risks over time. When considering investment opportunities in secondary market transactions in tranched debt, we generally avoid first loss risk in larger transactions due to the high current valuation of the underlying real estate relative to historic valuation levels. Because of the significant increase in the value of institutional quality assets relative to historic norms, we typically focus on positions in which a conventional refinancing at loan maturity would provide for a complete return of our investment.

Because of the high relative valuation of debt instruments in the current market and a generally increasing rate environment, we have carefully managed our exposure to interest rate changes that could affect our liquidity. We generally match our assets and liabilities in terms of base interest rate (generally one-month LIBOR) and expected duration. We have also been active in the equity and debt markets since 2004 to take advantage of cost effective sources of capital, maintain liquidity and attractively finance our business. We raised $95,000 of additional equity in December 2004 and January 2005 to reduce our outstanding indebtedness and maintain sufficient liquidity for our investment portfolio. In September 2005 we sold 3,833,333 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $97,830 and in May 2006 we sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $80,000. In April 2007 we sold 4,600,000 shares of our 8.125% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $111,205. The proceeds of these offerings were used to fund loan acquisitions and originations, repay outstanding principal amounts under our repurchase facilities or unsecured revolving credit facilities and for general corporate purposes. We have also sold a total of $150,000 of trust preferred securities in three $50,000 issuances in May and August 2005 and January 2006 through wholly-owned subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership with 30 year terms. The securities issued in May 2005 bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.57% for the first ten years ending, the securities issued in August 2005 bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.75% for the first ten years and the securities issued in January 2006 bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.65% for the first ten years. After the first ten years, the 2005 issuances bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points while the 2006 issuance bears interest at three-month LIBOR plus 270 basis points. The proceeds from the issuances of the trust preferred securities were used to fund existing and future investment opportunities. In July 2005 we closed our first $1,000,000 CDO which extended the term of our liabilities and reduced our overall cost of funds with respect to debt investments financed by the CDO and

previously financed by our repurchase agreements, to approximately 49 basis points over LIBOR, excluding transaction costs. Our second $1,000,000 CDO was closed in August 2006 at a weighted average interest spread of approximately 37 basis points over LIBOR, excluding transaction costs. The proceeds of the CDOs were used to repay our repurchase facilities and to fund additional investment activities. In addition, we have an unsecured credit facility which was increased in June 2007 to $175,000 from $100,000 and its term was extended to June 2010. The facility is available for funding investments and general corporate purposes.

As of June 30, 2007, we held loans, other lending investments and CMBS of $2,853,821 net of fees, discounts, and unfunded commitments with an average spread to LIBOR of 393 basis points for our floating rate investments, and an average yield of 8.68% for our fixed rate investments. As of June 30, 2007, we also held interests in five credit tenant lease, or CTL, investments comprised of a 49.75% TIC interest in 55 Corporate Drive in Bridgewater, New Jersey, and four joint venture investments.

The aggregate carrying values, allocated by product type and weighted average coupons of our loans, other lending investments and CMBS as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows:

We monitor our portfolio periodically and prior to each acquisition to confirm that we continue to qualify for the exemption from registration provided by Sections 3(c)(5)(C) and 3(c)(6) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. Qualifying for the Section 3(c)(5)(C) exclusion requires that at least 55% of our portfolio be comprised of “qualifying assets,” and a total of at least 80% of our portfolio be comprised of “real estate-related assets,” a category that includes qualifying assets. We generally expect mortgage loans, CTLs, and Tier 1 mezzanine loans to be qualifying assets. Tier 1 mezzanine loans are loans granted to a mezzanine borrower that directly owns interests in the entity that owns the property being financed. Subordinate interests in whole loans may constitute qualifying assets under Section 3(c)(5)(C), provided that we have the unilateral right to foreclose, directly or indirectly, on the mortgage and that we may act as the controlling class or directing holder of the note. We generally do not treat preferred equity investments as qualifying assets. We expect that all of these classes of investments, including subordinate interests in whole loans and preferred equity investments will be considered real estate-related assets under the Investment Company Act for purposes of the 80% investment threshold.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, known as GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make some complex and subjective decisions and assessments. Our most critical accounting policies involve decisions and assessments, which could significantly affect our reported assets, liabilities and contingencies, as well as our reported revenues and expenses. We believe that all of the decisions and assessments upon which our financial statements are based were reasonable at the time made based upon information available to us at that time. We evaluate these decisions and assessments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified our most critical accounting policies to be the following:

Loans and Investments and Loans Held for Sale

Specific valuation allowances are established for impaired loans based on the fair value of collateral on an individual loan basis. The fair value of the collateral is determined by selecting the most appropriate valuation methodology, or methodologies, among several generally available and accepted in the commercial real estate industry. The determination of the most appropriate valuation methodology is based on the key characteristics of the collateral type. These methodologies include the evaluation of operating cash flow from the property during the projected holding period, and the estimated sales value of the collateral computed by applying an expected capitalization rate to the stabilized net operating income of the specific property, less selling costs, all of which are discounted at market discount rates.

Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities Available-for-Sale

The Company has designated its CMBS as available-for-sale as the Company may dispose of the securities prior to maturity and the Company does not hold them for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Available-for-sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with the net unrealized gains or losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders equity. Unrealized losses on securities that in the judgment of management is other than temporary, are charged against earnings as a loss on the income statement. If available-for-sale securities were classified as trading securities, there could be substantially greater volatility in earnings from period-to-period as these investments would be marked to market and any reduction in the value of the securities versus the previous carrying value would be considered an expense on our statement of operations. We had no investments as of June 30, 2007 that were accounted for as trading securities.

When the fair value of an available-for-sale security is less than the amortized cost, we consider whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment in the value of the security (for example, whether the security will be sold prior to the recovery of fair value). If, in our judgment, an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the cost basis of the security is written down to the then-current fair value, and this loss is realized and charged against earnings. The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a subjective process, and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization.

fair value, and this loss is realized and charged against earnings.

Credit Tenant Lease Investments

Results of operations of properties acquired are included in the Statement of Income from the date of acquisition.

In accordance with FASB No. 141, or SFAS 141, “Business Combinations,” we allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above, below and at-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building and other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. The values of the above and below-market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease. The value associated with in-place leases and tenant relationships are amortized over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimated probability of the lease renewal, and its estimated term. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting since we exercise significant influence, but do not unilaterally control the entities and are not considered to be the primary beneficiary under FIN 46R. In the joint ventures, the rights of the other investor are protective and participating. Unless we are determined to be the primary beneficiary, these rights preclude us from consolidating the investments. The investments are recorded initially at cost as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently are adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of the investments on our balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures over the lesser of the joint venture term or 40 years. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to us. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $74,302 and $57,567, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Income recognition is generally suspended for debt investments at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in our opinion, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” criteria is met, under which control of the asset that is sold is surrendered making it a “true sale,” a gain on the sale will be recorded through earnings as other income. To the extent an investment that is sold has a discount or fees, which were deferred at the time the investment was made and were being recognized over the term of the investment, the unamortized portion of the discount or fees are recognized at the time of sale and recorded as a gain on the sale of the investment through other income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $1,668 and $4,354, respectively, in net gains from the sale of debt investments or commitments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized $314 and $1,428, respectively, in net gains from the sale of debt investments or commitments.

In addition to base rent, the tenants in our CTL investments also pay all operating costs of owned property including real estate taxes.

amended and restated in April 2006) exceed the product of our weighted average stockholders equity (as defined in the amended and restated partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership) multiplied by 9.5% (divided by four to adjust for quarterly calculations). We will record any distributions on the Class B limited partner interests as an incentive distribution expense in the period when earned and when payment of such amounts has become probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with the partnership agreement. These cash distributions will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our common unit holders in our Operating Partnership and to common stockholders. We incurred approximately $3,784 and $1,578 with respect to such Class B limited partner interests for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

Income Taxes

Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distributions to stockholders. However, we believe that we will be organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and we intend to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner so that we will qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We may, however, be subject to certain state and local taxes.

Our taxable REIT subsidiaries, individually referred to as a TRS, are subject to federal, state and local taxes.

Investment income is generated on our whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity interests and CMBS investments. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, $14,690 was earned on fixed rate investments while the remaining $58,138 was earned on floating rate investments. The increase over the prior year is due primarily to a larger number of investments in 2007 versus 2006 at moderately higher spreads on our floating rate investments.

Rental revenue of $1,850 in 2007 was earned on our TIC interest in 55 Corporate Drive, which has been held as a proportionately consolidated property since its acquisition in June 2006. Following its acquisition, 55 Corporate Drive was being redeveloped. The property was accounted for as an operating property beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2006. Rental revenue in 2007 includes the effect of adjustments for straight-line rent for 55 Corporate Drive.

Gains on sales and other income of $3,625 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is comprised primarily of a gain recorded on the sale of one loan commitment of $1,668. The remaining balance in other income is primarily attributable to interest on restricted cash balances in our two CDOs (only one of which was in place during the same period of 2006) and other cash balances held by us. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, other income of $4,371 was comprised primarily of $314 in gains related to the syndication of two floating rate debt investments, and the $2,632 gain on the sale of security interests in the entity that owns 200 Franklin Square Drive.

The income on investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $484 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 represents our proportionate share of income generated by our joint venture interests including $1,946 of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, which when added back, results in a contribution to FFO of $2,430. The loss on investments in unconsolidated joint venture of $630 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was generated primarily on our investment in One Madison Avenue in New York, New York. Our use of FFO as an important financial measure is discussed in more detail below.

The $20,777 of interest expense during the same period in 2006 was comprised primarily of $11,192 of interest on the investment grade tranches of our first CDO, $5,802 of interest on borrowings on our master repurchase facilities, and $2,871 of expense accrued against our three $50,000 issuances of trust preferred securities.

Management fees increased $1,553 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $5,414 versus $3,861 for the same period in 2006 due

primarily to an increase in our stockholder’s equity as a result of the issuance of our preferred stock, on which base management fees are calculated. The remaining increase is comprised of $1,083 paid or payable to our Manager on investments in our two CDOs (only one of which was in place during the same period in 2006) in accordance with the CDO collateral management agreements in lieu of the 0.15% fee otherwise payable to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. on those investments under the asset servicing agreement, higher fees paid or payable to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. under our outsourcing and servicing agreements due to the increase in our investment balances and the scheduled 3% annual increase in the fee payable under our outsourcing agreement.

We recorded an incentive fee expense of $3,784 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 in accordance with requirements of the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership which entitles owners of Class B limited partner interests in our Operating Partnership to an incentive return equal to 25% of the amount by which FFO plus certain accounting gains (as defined in the amended and restated partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership) exceed the product of our weighted average stockholders equity (as defined in the amended and restated partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership) multiplied by 9.5% (divided by four to adjust for quarterly calculations). We also recorded incentive fee expense of $1,578 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, which reflects a lower FFO recognized during that period compared to 2007.

The increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses to $4,103 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 versus the same period in 2006 was due primarily to higher equity related compensation, professional fees, insurance and general overhead costs. As a percentage of total revenues, marketing, general and administrative expenses declined to 5.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 6.3% for the same period in 2006.

The increase over the prior year is due primarily to a larger number of investments in 2007 versus 2006 at moderately higher spreads on our floating rate investments.

Rental revenue of $3,586 in 2007 was earned on our TIC interest in 55 Corporate Drive, which has been held as a proportionately consolidated property since its acquisition in June 2006. Following its acquisition, 55 Corporate Drive was being redeveloped. The property was accounted for as an operating property beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2006. Rental revenue in 2007 includes the effect of adjustments for straight-line rent and FASB 141 adjustments for below-market leases for 55 Corporate Drive. Rental revenue of $914 in 2006 was earned on 200 Franklin Square Drive, which was acquired in September 2005. This amount also includes the effect of adjustments for straight-line rent and FASB 141 adjustments for below market leases.

Gains on sale and other income of $10,054 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes the $1,668 gain related to the sale of one loan commitment and the $2,686 gain on the sale of one debt investment. The remaining increase over the prior year is primarily attributable to interest on restricted cash balances in our two CDOs (only one of which was in place in the same period of 2006) and other cash balances held by us. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, other income of $8,568 was comprised primarily of income recorded on the sale of two fixed rate debt investments and the syndication of two floating rate debt investments of $1,428, and the gain on the sale of security interests in the entity that owns 200 Franklin Square Drive of $4,350.

Management fees increased $2,869 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $10,253 versus $7,384 for the same period in 2006 due to an increase in our stockholder’s equity as a result of the issuance of our preferred stock, on which base management fees are calculated on. The remaining increase is comprised of $2,154 paid or payable to our Manager on investments in our two CDOs (only one of which was in place during the same period in 2005) in accordance with the CDO collateral management agreements in lieu of the 0.15% fee otherwise payable to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. on those investments under the asset servicing agreement, higher fees paid or payable to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. under our outsourcing and servicing agreements due to the increase in our investment balances and the scheduled 3% annual increase in the fee payable under our outsourcing agreement.

Liquidity is a measurement of the ability to meet cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain loans and investments, pay dividends and other general business needs. Our principal sources of working capital and funds for additional investments primarily include: 1) cash flow from operations; 2) borrowings under our repurchase facilities and unsecured revolving credit facility; 3) our CDOs; 4) other forms of financing or additional securitizations including CMBS or subsequent CDO offerings; 5) proceeds from common or preferred equity offerings, 6) issuances of trust preferred securities and, to a lesser extent, 7) the proceeds from principal payments on our investments, and 8) the sale or syndication of certain of our debt investments or real estate investments. We believe these sources of financing will be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity needs.

Our ability to fund our short-term liquidity needs, including distributions to stockholders, through cash flow from operations can be evaluated through the consolidated statement of cash flows provided in our financial statements. However, the net cash from operations or net cash used in operations disclosed on the statement of cash flows should be adjusted to exclude the effect of loans originated for sale and the proceeds of loans sold during any respective reporting period. These activities are included in cash flow from operations in accordance with GAAP, but constitute an integral part of our investment activity. Consequently, net cash flow from operations is not necessarily reflective of our true recurring operating activities and our ability to fund our required distributions to stockholders through our operating activities.

Our ability to meet our long-term liquidity and capital resource requirements for growth will be subject to obtaining additional debt financing and equity capital. Our inability to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on substantially similar terms, may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, an event of default can be triggered under our repurchase facilities and our unsecured revolving credit facility if, among other things, the amended and restated management agreement with our Manager is terminated. Depending on market conditions, our debt financing will generally be in the range of 70% to 80% of the carrying value of our total assets. Any indebtedness we incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties in connection with such debt. Our debt financing terms may require us to keep uninvested cash on hand, or to maintain a certain portion of our assets free of liens, each of which could serve to limit our borrowing ability. Moreover, our debt may be secured by our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy. Any such event would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and the value of our common stock. In addition, posting additional collateral to support our credit and repurchase facilities will reduce our liquidity and limit our ability to leverage our assets.

To maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income. These distribution requirements limit our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital for operations. However, we believe that our significant capital resources and access to financing, as noted above, will provide us with financial flexibility at levels sufficient to meet current and anticipated capital requirements, including funding new lending and investment opportunities.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $34,975 to $54,062 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to cash generated of $19,087 for same period in 2006. Operating cash flow was generated primarily by interest income on our whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity interests and gains on loan sales due, in part, to a larger number of investments in 2007 versus 2006 at a moderately higher spread for our floating rate investments in 2007. In addition, we recognized $177,414 of proceeds from the sale of debt investments and commitments offset by $151,638 of cash used for new investments that are held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to a net use of cash of $20,548 from the origination and sale of debt investments held for sale during the same period of 2006.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $152,566 to $687,964 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $535,398 used during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The primary reason for the additional use of cash is related to a $502,988 increase in debt investment originations of $1,218,083, offset by $262,803 greater principal collections on our debt investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $150,201 to $633,991 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $483,790 provided during the same period in 2006. This increase was due primarily to the issuance of our preferred stock, which generated $111,205 in net proceeds. In addition, we borrowed $75,000 in proceeds from our unsecured revolving credit facility, which was not in place during the same period in 2006, and held higher cash balances in our two CDOs in 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006.

Capitalization

On April 18, 2007, we sold 4,600,000 shares of our 8.125% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock (which is inclusive of the underwriters’ over-allotment option of 600,000 shares) with a mandatory liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Holders of the Series A cumulative redeemable preferred shares receive annual dividends of $2.03125 per share paid on a quarterly basis and dividends are cumulative, subject to certain provisions. On or after April 18, 2012, we may at our option redeem the Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock at par for cash. The Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock was recorded net of underwriters discount and issuance costs. Net proceeds from the offering of approximately $111,205 were used to repay amounts outstanding under our repurchase facilities and for other general corporate purposes.

approximately $172.9 million, which was used to fund investments and commence our operations. As of June 30, 2007, 493,083 restricted shares had also been issued under our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, or our Equity Incentive Plan. These shares have a vesting period of two to four years and are not entitled to receive distributions declared by us on our common stock until such time as the shares have vested, or the shares have been designated to receive dividends by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.

On December 3, 2004, we sold 5,500,000 shares of our common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $93.7 million under a private placement exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. We subsequently registered the resale of these shares under the Securities Act in August 2005. A total of 4,225,000 shares were sold to various institutional investors and an additional 1,275,000 shares were sold to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. pursuant to its contractual right to choose to maintain a 25% ownership interest in the outstanding shares of our common stock. Of the 5,500,000 shares sold, 2,000,000 shares were settled on December 31, 2004 and the remaining 3,500,000 shares were settled on January 3, 2005.

On September 14, 2005, we sold 3,833,333 shares of our common stock, at a price of $25.80 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $97.8 million. A total of 2,875,000 shares were sold through a public offering and an additional 958,333 shares were sold to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. pursuant to its contractual right to choose to maintain a 25% ownership interest in our outstanding shares of common stock. Net proceeds were used for loan acquisitions and originations, repayment of outstanding principal under one of our repurchase facilities and general corporate purposes.

On May 16, 2006, we sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a price of $26.75 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $80.0 million. A total of 2,250,000 shares were sold through a public offering and an additional 750,000 shares were sold to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. pursuant to its contractual right to choose to maintain a 25% ownership interest in the outstanding shares of our common stock. After this offering, SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. owned 6,418,333 shares of our common stock. Net proceeds were used for loan acquisitions and originations, repayment of outstanding principal under our repurchase facilities and general corporate purposes.

In May 2007, our new $500,000 shelf registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. This registration statement provides us with the ability to issue common and preferred stock, depository shares and warrants. We currently have $500,000 available under the shelf.

Outperformance Plan (Amounts in thousands except per share data)

$383 and $766 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, related to the 2005 Outperformance Plan, compared to $293 and $586 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Deferred Stock Compensation Plan for Directors

As of June 30, 2007, there were approximately 26,950 phantom stock units outstanding, of which 16,951 units are vested.

Market Capitalization

At June 30, 2007, our CDOs and borrowings under our repurchase facilities, unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgage loans (excluding our share of joint venture debt of $426.6 million) represented 75% of our consolidated market capitalization of $3.3 billion (based on a common stock price of $27.54 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on June 29, 2007). Market capitalization includes our consolidated debt, preferred and common stock.

Repurchase Facilities

We have two repurchase facilities with an aggregate of $900,000 of total debt capacity. In August 2004 we closed on a $250,000 repurchase facility with Wachovia. This facility was then increased to $350,000 on January 3, 2005 and subsequently increased to $500,000 on April 22, 2005. On June 28, 2007 we modified the facility by further reducing the interest spreads. As a result of the modifications, the $500,000 facility bears interest at spreads of 0.65% to 2.50% over one month LIBOR and, based on our expected investment activities, provides for advance rates that vary from 60% to 95% based upon the collateral provided under a borrowing base calculation. On October 13, 2006 we extended the facility’s maturity date until October 2009. The lender has a consent right with respect to the inclusion of investments in this facility, determines periodically the market value of the investments, and has the right to require additional collateral if the estimated market value of the included investments declines. We had no accrued interest and borrowings of $363,554 at a weighted average spread to LIBOR of 1.54% as of June 30, 2007, and no accrued interest and borrowings of $151,403 at a weighted average spread to LIBOR of 1.86%, as of December 31, 2006.

On January 3, 2005, we closed an additional repurchase facility with Goldman. On October 13, 2006 we increased this facility from $200,000 to $400,000 and extended its maturity date until September 2009. On June 28, 2007 we further modified this facility by reducing the interest spreads. As a result of the modifications, the facility bears interest at spreads of 1.00% to 1.50% over one month LIBOR and, based on our expected investment activities, provides for advance rates that vary from 70% to 90% based upon the

collateral provided under a borrowing base calculation. As with the Wachovia repurchase facility, the lender has a consent right to the inclusion of investments in this facility, determines periodically the market value of the investments, and has the right to require additional collateral if the estimated market value of the included investments declines. We had accrued interest of $1,006 and borrowings of $193,105 at a weighted average spread to LIBOR of 1.20% as of June 30, 2007, and accrued interest of $261 and borrowings of $126,009 at a weighted average spread to LIBOR of 1.51% under this facility at December 31, 2006.

Restrictive Covenants

The terms of our repurchase facilities (together with any related guarantees) include covenants that (a) limit our maximum total indebtedness to no more than 85% of total assets, (b) require us to maintain minimum liquidity of at least $15,000, (c) require our fixed charge coverage ratio to be at no time less than 1.25 to 1.00, (d) require our minimum interest coverage ratio to be at no time less than 1.35 to 1.00, and (e) require us to maintain minimum tangible net worth of not less than (i) $400,000, plus (ii) 75% of the net proceeds of our subsequent equity issuances following the date of the June 2007 amendment. The covenants also restrict us from making distributions in excess of a maximum of 100% of our FFO (as defined therein) under the Wachovia facility, except that we may in any case pay distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status. An event of default can be triggered on our repurchase facilities if, among other things, GKK Manager LLC is terminated as our Manager. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

In conjunction with the closing of the unsecured revolving credit facility with KeyBank, our $25,000 revolving credit facility with Wachovia was terminated.

Mortgage Loan

We have one consolidated interest-only mortgage loan in an amount equal to our ownership percentage in the entity multiplied by the

outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, which loan financed the acquisition of 55 Corporate Drive in June 2006. The mortgage has an outstanding principal balance of $190,000, of which we have consolidated 49.75% or $94,525, with an effective interest rate of 5.75% and a term of ten years.

Collateralized Debt Obligations

Junior Subordinated Debentures

Contractual Obligations

Combined aggregate principal maturities of our CDOs, repurchase facilities, trust preferred securities, proportionately consolidated mortgage note related to our TIC interest in 55 Corporate Drive, unsecured revolving credit facility and our obligations under our management agreement, outsourcing agreement, CDO collateral management agreement and operating lease as of June 30, 2007 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

(1) We have a 49.75% interest in the mortgage.

(2) Management fee is calculated as 1.75% of our gross stockholders equity (as defined in the amended and restated management agreement) on June 30, 2007, inclusive of the trust preferred securities issued on May 20, 2005, August 9, 2005 and January 27, 2006.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

We have several off-balance-sheet investments, including joint ventures and structured finance investments. These investments all have varying ownership structures. Substantially all of our joint venture arrangements are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control over the operating and financial decisions of these joint venture arrangements. Our off-balance-sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” in the accompanying financial statements.

Dividends

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must pay annual dividends to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined before taking into consideration the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains. We intend to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders. Before we pay any dividend, whether for Federal income tax purposes or otherwise, which would only be paid out of available cash to the extent permitted under our unsecured and secured credit and repurchase facilities, and our term loans, we must first meet both our operating requirements and scheduled debt service on our mortgages and loans payable.

Inflation

A majority of our assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive in nature. As a result, interest rates and other factors influence our performance more so than inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. Further, our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and our distributions are determined by our board of directors based primarily on our net income as calculated for tax purposes, in each case, our activities and balance sheet are measured with reference to historical costs or fair market value without considering inflation.

Related Party Transactions (Amounts in thousands)

In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into a management agreement with our Manager, which was subsequently amended and restated in April 2006. The amended and restated management agreement provides for a term through December 2009 with automatic one-year extension options and is subject to certain termination rights. We pay our Manager an annual management fee equal to 1.75% of our gross stockholders equity (as defined in the amended and restated management agreement) inclusive of our trust preferred securities. We incurred expense to our Manager under this agreement of an aggregate of $3,109 and $5,775 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $2,501 and $4,739 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

9.5% (divided by 4 to adjust for quarterly calculations). We will record any distributions on the Class B limited partner interests as an incentive distribution expense in the period when earned and when payments of such amounts have become probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with the partnership agreement. We incurred $3,784 and $6,601 with respect to such Class B limited partner interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $1,578 and $2,771 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

In April 2005, we closed on a $57,503 initial investment in a joint venture with SL Green to acquire, own and operate the South Building located at One Madison Avenue, New York, New York, or the South Building. The joint venture, which was created to acquire, own and operate the South Building, is owned 45% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of us and 55% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of SL Green. The joint venture interests are pari passu. Also on April 29, 2005, the joint venture completed the acquisition of the South Building from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for the purchase price of approximately $802,800 plus closing costs, financed in part through a $690,000 first mortgage loan on the South Building. The South Building comprises approximately 1.2 million square feet and is almost entirely net leased to CS pursuant to a lease with a 15-year remaining term. On July 2, 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell our

entire investment in the joint venture to SL Green Realty Corp. for approximately $147.6. The sale closed on August 1, 2007.

In June 2006, we closed on the acquisition of a 49.75% TIC interest in 55 Corporate Drive, located in Bridgewater, New Jersey with a 0.25% interest to be acquired in the future. The remaining 50% of the property is owned as a TIC interest by an affiliate of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.. The property is comprised of three buildings totaling approximately six hundred and seventy thousand square feet which is 100% net leased to an entity whose obligations are guaranteed by Sanofi-Aventis Group through April 2023. The transaction was valued at $236,000 and was financed with a $190,000, 10-year, fixed-rate first mortgage loan.

Commencing in May 2005, we are party to a lease agreement with SLG Graybar Sublease LLC, an affiliate of SL Green, for our corporate offices at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York. The lease is for approximately five thousand square feet with an option to lease an additional approximately two thousand square feet and carries a term of ten years with rents on the entire seven thousand square feet of approximately $249 per annum for year one rising to $315 per annum in year ten. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 we incurred expense of$62 and $125, respectively, under this lease.

The investment bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.85%. At closing, an affiliate of SL Green simultaneously acquired a $62,500 pari passu interest in the same tranche of the mezzanine structure. The investment was repaid in full in May 2007.

In July 2007, we closed on a $12,772, 100% fee interest in the property located at 292 Madison Avenue, New York, NY, purchased from SL Green. Simultaneously, the Company and SL Green entered into a 70-year ground lease, with an unaffiliated third party.

Funds from Operations

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITS. We also use FFO for the calculation of the incentive fee payable to the holders of Class B limited partner interests in our Operating Partnership and as one of several criteria to determine performance-based incentive compensation for members of our senior management, which may be payable in cash or equity awards. The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, in April 2002 defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from items which are not a recurring part of our business, such as debt restructurings, and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We consider gains and losses on the sales of debt investments and real estate investments including TIC investments to be a normal part of our recurring operations and therefore include such gains and losses when arriving at FFO. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Our calculation of FFO may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking expressions such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “continue,” or any negative or other variations on such expressions. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including any forecasts, projections, plans and objectives for future operations. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations as reflected in or suggested by those forward-

looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. We have listed below some important risks, uncertainties and contingencies which could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the forward-looking statements we make in this report. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following:

· the success or failure of our efforts to implement our current business strategy;

· economic conditions generally and in the commercial finance and real estate markets specifically;

· the performance and financial condition of borrowers and corporate customers;

· the actions of our competitors and our ability to respond to those actions;

· the cost of our capital, which depends in part on our asset quality, the nature of our relationships with our lenders and other capital providers, our business prospects and outlook and general market conditions;

· the availability of capital;

· availability of qualified personnel;

· availability of investment opportunities on real estate-related and other securities;

· the adequacy of our cash reserves and working capital;

· unanticipated increases in financing and other costs, including a rise in interest rates or requirements for additional collateral;

· the timing of cash flows, if any, from our investments;

· risks of structured finance investments;

· GKK Manager LLC remaining as our Manager;

· environmental and/or safety requirements;

· continuing threats or terrorist attacks on the national, regional and local economies;

· changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters;

· legislative and regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs or the exemptions from registration as an investment company); and

· other factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 will not have a material effect on financial results.

In June 2007, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) 07-01 “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 clarifies the scope of accounting for investment companies and provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Guide”). For those entities that are investment companies under SOP 07-1, the specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide (referred to as Investment Company accounting) should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an equity method investor. The SOP also provides for certain disclosure requirements for parent companies and equity method investors in investment companies that continue investment company accounting in the parent’s consolidated financial statements or the financial statements of the equity method investor. The SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007. While the Company maintains an exemption from the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is therefore not regulated as an investment company, it is nonetheless in the process of assessing whether SOP 07-1 is applicable.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risks to which we will be exposed are real estate and interest rate risks.

Real Estate Risk

Commercial and multi-family property values and net operating income derived from such properties are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, national, regional and local economic conditions which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors), local real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of retail, industrial, office or other commercial or multi-family space), changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments, construction quality, age and design, demographic factors, retroactive changes to building or similar codes, and increases in operating expenses (such as energy costs). In the event net operating income decreases, a borrower may have difficulty repaying our loans, which could result in losses to us. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay our loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses. Even when a property’s net operating income is sufficient to cover the property’s debt service at the time a loan is made, there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future. We employ careful business selection, rigorous underwriting and credit approval processes and attentive asset management to mitigate these risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.

Our operating results will depend in large part on differences between the income from our assets and our borrowing costs. Most of our assets and borrowings are variable-rate instruments that we finance with variable rate debt. The objective of this strategy is to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on the spread between the yield on our assets and our cost of funds. We enter into hedging transactions with respect to all liabilities relating to fixed rate assets. If we were to finance fixed rate assets with variable rate debt and the benchmark for our variable rate debt increased, our net income would decrease. Furthermore, as most of our available financing provides for an ability of the lender to mark-to-market our assets and make margin calls based on a change in the value of our assets, financing fixed rate assets with this debt creates the risk that an increase in fixed rate benchmarks (such as “swap” yields) would decrease the value of our fixed rate assets. We have entered into certain swap transactions in anticipation of drawing upon our mark-to-market debt to hedge against this risk. Some of our loans are subject to various interest rate floors. As a result, if interest rates fall below the floor rates, the spread between the yield on our assets and our cost of funds will increase, which will generally increase our returns. Because we generate income principally from the spread between the yields on our assets and the cost of our borrowing and hedging activities, our net income will generally increase if LIBOR increases and decreases if LIBOR decreases, but this may not always be true in the future. Our exposure to interest rates will also be affected by our overall corporate leverage, which we generally target to be 70% to 80% of the carrying value of our assets, although our actual leverage may vary depending on our mix of assets.

In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, delinquencies and defaults could increase and result in loan losses to us, which could adversely affect our liquidity and operating results. Further, such delinquencies or defaults could have an adverse effect on the spreads between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The aggregate carrying values, allocated by product type and weighted average coupons of our loans, other lending investments and CMBS as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows:

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). 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. Also, we may have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during Gramercy’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Gramercy’s internal control over financial reporting.
