1. Presentation of Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the related management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations filed
with the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year
ending December 31, 2002.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the
Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform in
all material respects to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
current period classifications.
2. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In June 2002, three sales of CMBS in two issues were completed. The securities,
which had a basis of $31,012,000 including amortization of discounts, were sold

5. Loans Receivable
At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company's loans receivable
consisted of the following (in thousands):
September 30, December 31,
2002 2001
------------------- ------------------
(1) Mortgage Loans $ 19,552 $ 69,998
(2) Mezzanine Loans 113,111 142,160
(3) Other loans receivable 14,009 49,625
------------------- ------------------

Less: reserve for possible credit losses (10,732) (13,695)
------------------- ------------------
Total loans $ 135,940 $ 248,088
=================== ==================
One Mortgage Loan receivable with a principal balance of $8,000,000 reached
maturity on July 15, 2000 and has not been repaid with respect to principal and
interest. In accordance with the Company's policy for revenue recognition,
income recognition has been suspended on this loan and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, $719,000 of potential interest income has not been recorded.
At September 30, 2002, the weighted average interest rate in effect, including
amortization of fees and premiums, for the Company's performing loans receivable
is as follows:
(1) Mortgage Loan 10.72%
(2) Mezzanine Loans 10.84%
(3) Other loans receivable 12.41%
Total loans 10.99%
At September 30, 2002, $49,450,000 (36%) of the aforementioned performing loans
bear interest at floating rates ranging from LIBOR plus 525 basis points to
LIBOR plus 875 basis points. The remaining $89,222,000 (64%) of loans bear
interest at fixed rates ranging from 11.62% to 12.00%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company released $2,963,000
of its previously established reserve for possible credit losses on loans
receivable due to a significant decrease in the portfolio of loans receivable.
6. Equity investment in Funds

As of September 30, 2002, Fund I has outstanding loans totaling $83.0 million,
all of which are performing in accordance with the terms of their agreements

beginning June 30, 2001, the accrual of interest was suspended. In March 2002,

7. Long-Term Debt
Credit Facilities
On February 28, 2002, the Company's $355 million credit facility matured and was
settled and was replaced with the repurchase obligations discussed below.
At September 30, 2002, the Company has borrowed $35,000,000 under a $100 million
credit facility at an average borrowing rate (including amortization of fees
incurred and capitalized) of 5.01%. The Company has pledged assets of
$102,475,000 as collateral for the borrowing against such credit facility.
Effective July 16, 2002, pursuant to an amended and restated credit agreement,
the Company extended the expiration of such credit facility from July 2002 to
July 2003 with an automatic nine-month amortizing extension option, if not
otherwise extended.
Repurchase Obligations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company entered into three
new repurchase agreements.
One of the new repurchase agreements, with a AAA-rated counterparty, was
utilized to refinance CMBS securities that were previously financed with a
maturing credit facility and original term redeemable securities contract. At
September 30, 2002, the Company sold CMBS assets with a book and market value of
$122,179,000 and has a liability, representing the obligation, to repurchase
these assets for $88,261,000 that is non-recourse to the Company. This
repurchase obligation had an original one year term and the liability balance
bears interest at specified rates over LIBOR based upon the credit rating of
each asset included in the obligation.
The second new repurchase agreement, with a securities dealer, was also utilized
to refinance CMBS securities that were previously financed with a maturing
credit facility and original term redeemable securities contract. During the
second quarter of 2002, the Company transferred all of the CMBS previously
financed under this repurchase agreement to the repurchase agreement discussed
in the previous paragraph.
The third repurchase agreement, with a securities dealer, arose in connection
with the purchase of an available-for-sale security in March 2002. At September
30, 2002, the Company sold such asset with a book and market value of
$33,755,000 and has a liability, representing the obligation, to repurchase this
asset for $32,000,000. This repurchase agreement has a current maturity date in
December 2002 and is expected to be extended monthly thereafter. The liability
balance bears interest at LIBOR.
The repurchase agreement that was outstanding at December 31, 2001, with a
securities dealer, arose in connection with the purchase of available-for-sale
securities in September 2001 has been extended to December 2002. At September
30, 2002, the Company sold such assets with a book and market value of
$53,635,000 and has a liability, representing the obligation, to repurchase this
asset for $52,496,000. The liability balance bears interest at LIBOR.
The interest rate in effect for all the repurchase obligations outstanding at
September 30, 2002 was 2.41%.
Term Redeemable Securities Contract
On February 28, 2002, the Company's then outstanding term redeemable securities
contract became due and settled, upon which event the Company entered into a new
term redeemable securities contract.
The new term redeemable securities contract was utilized to refinance certain of
the assets that were previously financed with the maturing credit facility and
original term redeemable securities contract. The new term redeemable securities
contract, which allows for a maximum financing of $75 million, is recourse to
the Company. The new contract has a two-year term with an automatic one-year
amortizing extension option, if not otherwise extended. The Company incurred an
initial commitment fee of $750,000 upon the signing of the new contract and the
Company pays interest at specified rates over LIBOR. The new contract contains
customary representations and warranties, covenants and conditions and events of
default.

An affiliate of the counterparty to the new term redeemable securities
contract is also a party to an interest rate swap agreement with the Company
providing a hedge for interest rate risk on the BB CMBS Portfolio. This
agreement had a mutual put option for the value of the hedge exercisable in
February 2002. This mutual put has been extended for an additional three years
to February 2005. The notional values of the swap, $137,812,000 at December 31,
2001, increased under the terms of the original swap agreement to $169,090,000
in February 2002.
The Company has no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2002 on the new
contract but utilizes the collateral pledged on the new contract to
collateralize the swap liability.
8. Derivative Financial Instruments
The following table summarizes the notional value and fair value of the
Company's derivative financial instruments, principally swap contracts at
September 30, 2002. The notional value provides an indication of the extent of
the Company's involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not
represent exposure to credit or interest rate market risks.
Interest
Hedge Type Notional Value Rate Maturity Fair Value
- ----------- -------------------- ----------------- --------------- ----------- -----------------
Swap Fair Value Hedge $169,090,000 6.045% 2009 $(25,304,000)
Swap Cash Flow Hedge 11,250,000 6.580% 2006 (1,548,000)
Swap Cash Flow Hedge 37,125,000 5.905% 2008 (5,130,000)
Swap Cash Flow Hedge 18,547,000 6.035% 2003 (817,000)
Cap Cash Flow Hedge 18,750,000 11.250% 2007 34,000
On September 30, 2002, the derivative financial instruments were reported at
their fair value as other assets and interest rate hedge liabilities of $34,000
and $32,799,000, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized a loss
of $48,000 for the change in time value for qualifying interest rate hedges. The
time value is a component of fair value that must be recognized in earnings, and
is shown in the consolidated statement of operations as an offset to the
unrealized gain on derivative securities.
The fair value hedge in the above table was undertaken by the Company to sustain
the value of its CMBS holdings. This fair value hedge, when viewed in
conjunction with the fair value of the securities, is sustaining the value of
those securities as interest rates rise and fall. In conjunction with the sale
of the CMBS previously discussed in Note 4, in order to maintain the
effectiveness of the hedge, the Company reduced the maturity of the fair value
hedge from December 2014 to November 2009 and recognized a realized gain for the
payments received totaling $940,000. During the nine months ended September 30,
2002, the Company recognized a loss of $17,914,000 for the decrease in the value
of the swap which was substantially offset by a gain of $17,354,000 for the
change in the fair value of the securities attributed to the hedged risk
resulting in a $560,000 unrealized loss on derivative securities on the
consolidated statement of income.
The Company utilizes cash flow hedges in order to better control interest costs
on variable rate debt transactions. Interest rate swaps that convert variable
payments to fixed payments, interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards
are considered cash flow hedges. During the nine months ended September 30,
2002, the fair value of the cash flow swaps decreased by $3,959,000, which was
recorded as an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be
released to earnings over the remaining lives of the swaps.
Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other
comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification is
consistent with the timing of when the hedged items are also recognized in
earnings. Within the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $2.9 million
currently held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to
earnings with regard to the cash flow hedges.

9. Convertible Trust Preferred Securities
At December 31, 2001, the Company's consolidated trust subsidiary, CT
Convertible Trust I (the "Trust") had outstanding $150,000,000 aggregate
liquidation amount of variable step up convertible trust preferred securities.
The liquidation amount of the convertible trust preferred securities was divided
into $89,742,000 of convertible amount (the "Convertible Amount") and
$60,258,000 of non-convertible amount (the "Non-Convertible Amount"). The Trust
held related 8.25% step up convertible junior subordinated debentures
("Convertible Debentures") in the aggregate principal amount of $92,524,000
(redeemable in September 2004) and 13% step up non-convertible junior
subordinated debentures ("Non-Convertible Debentures") in the aggregate
principal amount of $62,126,000 (redeemable at any time). The dissolution,
redemption and, as applicable, conversion terms of the Convertible Amount and
the Non-Convertible Amount mirrored the interest, redemption, and, as
applicable, conversion terms of the Convertible Debentures and the
Non-Convertible Debentures.
On September 30, 2002, the Non-Convertible Debentures were redeemed in full,
utilizing additional borrowings on the credit facility and repurchase
agreements, resulting in a corresponding redemption in full of the related
Non-Convertible Amount. In connection with the redemption transaction, the
Company expensed the remaining unamortized discount and fees on the redeemed
Non-Convertible Amount resulting in $586,000 of additional expense for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Historical results set forth are not necessarily indicative of the future
financial position and results of operations of the Company.
Balance Sheet Portfolio Developments and Contributions to Funds
On February 28, 2002, the Company's $355 million credit facility matured and the
term redeemable securities contract became due and settled, upon which events
the Company entered into a new term redeemable securities contract and two new
repurchase obligations.
The new term redeemable securities contract was utilized to refinance certain of
the assets that were previously financed with the maturing credit facility and
original term redeemable securities contract. The new contract, which allows for
a maximum financing of $75 million, is recourse to the Company and has a
two-year term with an automatic one-year amortizing extension option, if not
otherwise extended. The Company incurred an initial commitment fee of $750,000
upon the signing of the new contract and the Company pays interest at specified
rates over LIBOR. The new contract contains customary representations and
warranties, covenants and conditions and events of default.
An affiliate of the counterparty to the new term redeemable securities contract
is also a party to an interest rate swap agreement with the Company for the full
duration of a CMBS portfolio purchased from an affiliate of the counterparty,
thereby providing a hedge for interest rate risk. This agreement had a mutual
put option for the value of the hedge exercisable in February 2002. This mutual
put has been extended for an additional three years to February 2005. The
notional value of the swap, $137,812,000 at December 31, 2001, increased under
the terms of the original swap agreement to $169,090,000 in February 2002. In
conjunction with a sale of CMBS in June 2002, in order to maintain the
effectiveness of the hedge, the Company reduced the maturity of the fair value
hedge from December 2014 to November 2009 and received payments totalling
$940,000.
One of the new repurchase obligations, with a AAA-rated counterparty, was
utilized to refinance CMBS securities that were previously financed with a
maturing credit facility and the original term redeemable securities contract.
At September 30, 2002, the Company sold CMBS assets with a book and market value
of $122,179,000 and has a liability, representing the obligation, to repurchase
these assets for $88,261,000 that is non-recourse to the Company. This
repurchase obligation has a one year term and the liability balance bears
interest at specified rates over LIBOR based upon the credit rating of each
asset included in the obligation.
The second new repurchase agreement, with a securities dealer, was also utilized
to refinance CMBS securities that were previously financed with a maturing
credit facility and the original term redeemable securities contract. During the
second quarter of 2002, the Company transferred all of the CMBS previously
financed under this repurchase agreement to the repurchase agreement discussed
in the previous paragraph.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2002, to remain in compliance with the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Company purchased $40.0 million of Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Gold fixed rate whole pool mortgage-backed
securities. To finance this purchase, the Company entered into a repurchase
obligation that currently matures in December 2002 and is expected to be
extended monthly thereafter. In total, the Company sold four Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation Gold fixed rate securities with a market value of $87.4
million at September 30, 2002 and the Company has a liability, representing the
obligation, to repurchase these assets for $84.5 million.
The average interest rate in effect for the repurchase obligations outstanding
at September 30, 2002 was 2.41%. The Company expects to enter into new
repurchase obligations at their maturity.
The Company analyzes its investments and will adjust their levels when and if
required for Investment Company Act compliance purposes. In conjunction with
this analysis and due to favorable market conditions, in June 2002, the Company
sold three Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Gold fixed rate whole pool
mortgage-backed securities due September 1, 2031 with an amortized cost of
$75,006,000 and completed three sales of CMBS in two issues with a basis of
$31,012,000. The Company recognized a net realized gain of $711,000 in
conjunction with these sales. The Company also received full payment of three
other CMBS issues that it held with a face value of $36.5 million.
-13-
Since December 31, 2001, consistent with its transition from the balance sheet
lending to the investment management business, the Company has not originated or
purchased any new loans and has no future commitments under any existing loans.
The Company received full satisfaction of two loans totaling $75.5 million and
partial repayments on five loans totaling $39.4 million in 2002. At September
30, 2002, the Company had outstanding loans totaling approximately $146.7
million.
The Company's investment in Fund I at September 30, 2002 is $14.4 million. Since
December 31, 2001, the Company has not made any equity contributions to Fund I
and has received $8.3 million as a return of equity. The Company has capitalized
costs of $4,752,000 that are being amortized over the anticipated lives of the
Funds. As of September 30, 2002, Fund I has outstanding loans and investments
totaling $83.0 million, all of which are performing in accordance with the terms
of their agreements except for one loan for $26.0 million which is in default
and for which, beginning September 30, 2001, the accrual of interest was
suspended. In March 2002, Fund I established a specific reserve of $13 million
for this loan.
Since December 31, 2001, the Company has made equity contributions to Fund II of
$5.2 million and equity contributions to Fund II's general partner of $823,000.
The Company's remaining equity commitment to Fund II and its general partner is
$39.7 million. The Company has capitalized costs of $3.8 million relating to the
formation of Fund II that are being amortized over the anticipated lives of the
Funds. The Company's investment in Fund II and its general partner at September
30, 2002 is $19.1 million. As of September 30, 2002, Fund II has outstanding
loans and investments totaling $674.0 million, all of which are performing in
accordance with the terms of their agreements.
Results of Operations for the Three and Nine months Ended September 30, 2002 and
2001
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company reported net income allocable to shares of Common Stock of
$4,243,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of
$2,449,000 from the net income allocable to shares of Common Stock of $6,692,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily the
result of decreased net interest income from loans and other investments as the
Company continues its transition to the investment management business offset by
increased advisory and investment management fees, a recapture of the allowance
for possible credit losses and the elimination of the Preferred Stock dividend.
The Company reported net income allocable to shares of Common Stock of
$1,553,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of
$1,269,000, from the net income allocable to shares of Common Stock of
$2,822,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease was
primarily the result of decreased net interest income from loans and other
investments offset by increased advisory and investment management fees. The
Company expects additional reductions in interest and related income due to
decreases in leveraged interest earning assets that may not be offset by
increased income from investment management operations.
Interest and related income from loans and other investments amounted to
$37,991,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of
$13,751,000 from the $51,742,000 amount for the nine months ended September 30,
2001. Average interest earning assets decreased from approximately $549.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to approximately $452.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The Company's average
interest rate earned decreased from 12.58% for the nine months ended September
30, 2001 to 10.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized an additional $1.5
million on the early repayment of loans and investments, while during the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized an additional $4.8
million on the early repayment of loans. Without this additional interest
income, the earning rate for 2002 would have been 9.7% versus 11.4% for 2001, a
decrease of 1.7%. LIBOR rates averaged 1.8% for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 and 4.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of
2.6%. Since substantial portions of the Company's assets earn interest at
fixed-rates, the decrease in the average earning rate did not correspond to the
full decrease in the average LIBOR rate.
Interest and related income from loans and other investments amounted to
$11,036,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of
$5,949,000 from the $16,985,000 amount for the three months ended September 30,
2001. Average interest earning assets decreased from approximately $502.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to approximately $404.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The Company's average
interest rate earned decreased from 13.42% for the three months ended September
30, 2001 to 10.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. During the
three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized an additional $1.1
million on the early repayment of loans, while during the three months ended
September 30, 2001, the Company recognized an additional $3.2 million on the
early repayment of loans. Without this additional interest income, the earning
rate for 2002 would have been 9.7% versus 10.9% for 2001, a
-14-
decrease of 1.2%. LIBOR rates averaged 1.8% for the three months ended September
30, 2002 and 3.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of
1.7%. Since substantial portions of the Company's assets earn interest at
fixed-rates, the decrease in the average earning rate did not correspond to the
full decrease in the average LIBOR rate.
Interest and related expenses amounted to $14,020,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, a decrease of $5,705,000 from the $19,725,000 amount for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in expense was due to a
decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 9.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 6.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and a decrease in the amount of average interest bearing
liabilities outstanding from approximately $294.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 to approximately $279.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in the average rate is substantially due
to the increased use of repurchase agreements as debt in 2002 at lower spreads
to LIBOR than the credit facilities utilized in 2001 and the decrease in the
average LIBOR rate. Due to the decrease in total debt, the percentage of debt
that has been swapped to fixed rates in 2002 increased partially offsetting the
previously discussed decreases.
Interest and related expenses amounted to $3,757,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, a decrease of $1,951,000 from the $5,708,000 amount for the
three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in expense was due to a
decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 9.0% for
the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 8.8% for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, and a decrease in the amount of average interest bearing
liabilities outstanding from approximately $251.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 to approximately $169.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2002. Again, the decrease in the average rate is due to the
increased use of repurchase agreements for a higher percentage of interest
bearing liabilities and the decrease in the average LIBOR rate offset
substantially by increased net payments on swap contracts.
In addition, the Company also utilized proceeds from the $150.0 million of
Convertible Trust Preferred Securities, which were issued on July 28, 1998 to
finance its interest earning assets. On April 1, 2002, in accordance with the
terms of the securities, the blended rate on such securities increased from
10.16% to 11.21%. On October 1, 2002, after repayment of the Non-Convertible
Amount (as discussed below), the rate on such securities is 10.00%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recognized
$7,186,000 and $6,359,000, respectively, of net expenses related to the
Convertible Trust Preferred Securities. This amount consisted of distributions
to the holders totaling $12,195,000 and $11,428,000, respectively, and
amortization of discount and origination costs totaling $1,186,000 and $599,000,
respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. This was
partially offset by a tax benefit of $6,195,000 and $5,668,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in the
amortization of discount and origination costs resulted from the recognition of
the unamortized discount and fees on the Non-Convertible Amount expensed upon
repayment of the Non-Convertible Amount on September 30, 2002.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company
recognized $2,669,000 and $2,119,000, respectively, of net expenses related to
the Convertible Trust Preferred Securities. This amount consisted of
distributions to the holders totaling $4,184,000 and $3,809,000, respectively,
and amortization of discount and origination costs totaling $786,000 and
$200,000, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and
2001. This was partially offset by a tax benefit of $2,301,000 and $1,890,000
during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
increase in the amortization of discount and origination costs again resulted
from the recognition of the unamortized discount and fees on the Non-Convertible
Amount expensed upon repayment of the Non-Convertible Amount on September 30,
2002.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, other revenues increased
$2,857,000 to $10,968,000 from $8,111,000 in the same period of 2001. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company sold investments and reduced
the maturity of its fair value hedge, which resulted in a gain of $1,651,000,
and earned a $2.0 million fee from the Company's final advisory assignment. The
Company also received the increased revenue from Fund II (management and
advisory income in addition to the return on investment in the fund), which
began operations in the second quarter of 2001. Fund I increased its allowance
for possible credit losses by establishing a specific reserve for the
non-performing loan it is carrying. The loss from equity investments in Funds is
due to this additional expense.
-15-
During the three months ended September 30, 2002, other revenues increased
$1,968,000 to $5,807,000 from $3,839,000 in the same period of 2001. This
increase was due to the $2.0 million fee earned from the Company's final
advisory assignment.
As previously disclosed, the Company will not generally invest in Mezzanine
Loans for its own balance sheet as Fund II (to which it has a remaining $39.7
million equity commitment) is the principal vehicle through which the Company
invests in loans and investments in accordance with the Company's current
investment program. If the amount of the Company's maturing loans and
investments increase significantly before the excess capital generated thereby
is invested in Fund II or other funds, or is otherwise accretively deployed, the
Company may experience shortfalls in revenues and lower earnings until
offsetting revenues are derived from funds under management and other sources.
The investment period for Fund II expires in April 2003, at which time the
management fee earned from the fund will be reduced as the base upon which the
fee is calculated changes from capital commitments to invested capital.
General and administrative expenses were modestly lower amounting to $11,390,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 versus $11,766,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and $3,982,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 versus $3,991,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2001. The Company employed an average of 27 employees during both the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
The Company had 26 full-time employees and one part-time employee at September
30, 2002.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recaptured
$2,963,000 of its previously established allowance for possible credit losses.
The Company deemed this recapture necessary due to the substantial reduction in
the loan portfolio and a general reduction in the risk of the loans remaining
defaulting based upon current conditions. After the recapture, the Company
believes that the reserve is adequate based on the existing loans in the balance
sheet portfolio.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company accrued
income tax expense of $11,540,000 and $11,986,000, respectively, for federal,
state and local income taxes. The increase (from 46.7% to 50.2%) in the
effective tax rate was primarily due to higher levels of compensation in excess
of deductible limits in the current year and increased amortization of
capitalized costs from Fund II, which are not deductible for tax.
Until the repurchase of the preferred stock by the Company, dividends accrued on
these shares at a rate of 9.5% per annum on a per share price of $2.69. In 2001,
the remaining shares of Preferred Stock were repurchased thereby eliminating the
dividend requirement for 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2002, the Company had $8,731,000 in cash. The primary sources
of liquidity for the Company for the remainder of 2002 will be cash on hand,
cash generated from operations, principal and interest payments received on
loans and investments (including loan repayments and the return of capital from
Fund I), and additional borrowings under the Company's credit facility and its
term redeemable securities contract. The Company believes that these sources of
capital will adequately meet future cash requirements. The Company expects that
during 2002, it will use a significant amount of its available capital resources
to satisfy its capital contributions required in connection with its remaining
$39.7 million equity commitment to Fund II and its general partner and to
repurchase the Company's outstanding Common Stock under its open market share
repurchase program. The Company intends to continue to employ leverage on its
existing balance sheet assets to enhance its return on equity.
The Company experienced a net decrease in cash of $2,920,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to a decrease of $3,562,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. Cash provided by operating activities during
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $4,630,000, compared to $13,406,000
provided during the same period of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30,
2002, cash provided by investing activities was $255,943,000, compared to
$46,031,000 used during the same period in 2001. This change was primarily due
to an increase in the level of repayments received on loans receivable and
repayments and sales of CMBS and available-for-sale securities and a decrease in
the level of purchases of available-for-sale securities. The Company utilized
the cash received on loan repayments and repayments and sales of CMBS and
available-for-sale securities to reduce borrowings under its credit facilities,
accounting for the majority of the $263,493,000 of net cash used in financing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
-16-
In 2001, the Company announced an open market share repurchase program under
which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to four million shares of
the Company's Class A Common Stock. On May 1, 2002, the Company purchased and
retired 536,370 shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $4.86 per
share (including commissions). As of the date of this purchase, the Company had
repurchased 3,100,770 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the program. In
May 2002, the Company announced an increase in the program restoring the number
of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to repurchase under the program to
four million shares (an addition of 3,100,770 shares). On August 19, 2002, the
Company purchased and retired 104,900 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price
of $4.81 per share (including commissions). On October 3, 2002, the Company
purchased and retired an additional 1,696,800 shares of Class A Common Stock at
a price of $4.49 per share (including commissions). After this repurchase, the
Company has 2,198,300 shares authorized for repurchase under the plan.
At September 30, 2002, the Company was party to a credit facility with a
commercial lender that provides for $100 million of credit. The line of credit
matured in July 2002 and was extended for an additional year and has an
automatic nine-month amortizing extension option, if not otherwise extended. At
September 30, 2002, the Company has borrowed $35,000,000 under the credit
facility at an average borrowing rate (including amortization of fees incurred
and capitalized) of 5.01%. The decrease in the amount outstanding under the
credit facilities from the amount outstanding at December 31, 2001 was due to
the use of cash received on loan repayments and sales and repayments of CMBS and
available-for-sale securities to pay down the credit facility. The $100 million
credit facility provides the Company with adequate liquidity for its short-term
needs.
The existing credit facility provides for advances to fund lender-approved loans
and investments made by the Company. The obligations of the Company under the
credit facility are required to be secured by pledges of the assets originated
or acquired by the Company with advances under the credit facility. Borrowings
under the credit facility bear interest at specified rates over LIBOR, which
rates may fluctuate, based upon the credit quality of the pledged assets. Future
repayments and redrawdowns of amounts previously subject to the drawdown fee
will not require the Company to pay any additional fees. The credit facility
provides for margin calls on asset-specific borrowings in the event of asset
quality and/or market value deterioration as determined under the credit
facility. The credit facility contains customary representations and warranties,
covenants and conditions and events of default.
At September 30, 2002, the Company has no outstanding borrowings on its $75
million term redeemable securities contract and has outstanding repurchase
obligations of $172,757,000. In connection with the maturity of the credit
facility and the term redeemable securities contract that matured and became due
in February 2002, the Company entered into a new term redeemable securities
contract with the same counterparty, which allows for a maximum financing of $75
million. The new term redeemable securities contract has a two-year term with an
automatic one-year amortizing extension option, if not otherwise extended. In
February 2002, the Company also entered into two new repurchase obligations with
new counterparties to refinance the remaining assets financed under the original
term redeemable securities contract. The Company has utilized the collateral
pledged on the new contract to collateralize its swap liability.
The Company's convertible trust preferred securities were modified in May 2000
in a transaction pursuant to which the outstanding securities were canceled and
new variable step up convertible trust preferred securities with an aggregate
liquidation amount of $150 million ("Convertible Trust Preferred Securities")
were issued to the holders of the canceled securities in exchange therefore, and
the original underlying convertible debentures were canceled and new 8.25% step
up convertible junior subordinated debentures in the aggregate principal amount
of $92,524,000 (the "Convertible Debentures") and new 13% step up
non-convertible junior subordinated debentures in the aggregate principal amount
of $62,126,000 (the "Non-Convertible Debentures" and together with the
Convertible Debentures, the "Debentures") were issued to the CT Convertible
Trust I (the "Trust"), as the holder of the canceled bonds, in exchange
therefore. The liquidation amount of the Convertible Trust Preferred Securities
is divided into $89,742,000 of convertible amount (the "Convertible Amount") and
$60,258,000 of non-convertible amount (the "Non-Convertible Amount"), the
distribution, redemption and, as applicable, conversion terms of which, mirror
the interest, redemption and, as applicable, the conversion terms of the
Convertible Debentures and the Non-Convertible Debentures, respectively, held by
the Trust.
The Non-Convertible Debentures were redeemed in full on September 30, 2002
resulting in a corresponding redemption in full of the Non-Convertible Amount.
In connection with the redemption transaction, the Company expensed the
remaining unamortized discount and fees on the Non-Convertible Amount resulting
in $586,000 of additional expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
-17-
Distributions on the remaining Convertible Trust Preferred Securities are
payable quarterly in arrears on each calendar quarter-end and correspond to the
payments of interest made on the Debentures, the sole assets of the Trust.
Distributions are payable only to the extent interest payments are made in
respect to the Debentures. The remaining Convertible Trust Preferred Securities
currently bear a coupon rate of 10.00% per annum, which rate will step up in
accordance with the coupon rate step up terms applicable to the Convertible
Amount.
The Convertible Amount was originally issued with a coupon rate of 8.25% per
annum and thereafter is subject to an increase on April 1, 2002 to the greater
of (i) 10.00% per annum, increasing by 0.75% on October 1, 2004 and on each
October 1 thereafter or (ii) a percentage per annum equal to the quarterly
dividend paid on a share of Class A Common Stock multiplied by four and divided
by $7.00. The rate in effect following April 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002
was 10.00%. The Convertible Amount is convertible into shares of Class A Common
Stock, in increments of $1,000 in liquidation amount, at a conversion price of
$7.00 per share. The Convertible Amount is redeemable by the Company, in whole
or in part, on or after September 30, 2004.
Impact of September 11, 2001
The events of September 11 have created uncertainty regarding the ability of
real estate owners of high profile assets to obtain insurance coverage
protecting against terrorist attacks at commercially reasonable rates. The issue
is exacerbated by the fact that most insurance policies (and the terrorism
insurance that has traditionally been a part of such policies) expire on
December 31 of each year and most secured loans typically require comprehensive
terrorism insurance. The absence of suitable insurance coverage will likely
affect the general real estate lending market, lending volume and the market's
overall liquidity. In turn, real estate valuations may be impacted, particularly
for asset types seen as vulnerable to attack, including: central business
district office buildings, certain regional malls and assets located near sites
perceived as high-risk being the most sensitive. The lack of resolution
regarding affordable long-term terrorism insurance coverage for all property
types combined with the general slow-down of the U.S. economy may negatively
impact existing loans and investments and may reduce the number of suitable
investment opportunities available to Fund II and the pace at which its
investments are made. A reduction in asset originations could adversely affect
the Company's ability to grow earnings.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The principal objective of the Company's asset/liability management activities
is to maximize net interest income, while minimizing levels of interest rate
risk. Net interest income and interest expense are subject to the risk of
interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest
rates, the Company uses interest rate swaps to effectively convert fixed rate
assets to variable rate assets for proper matching with variable rate
liabilities and variable rate liabilities to fixed rate liabilities for proper
matching with fixed rate assets. Each derivative used as a hedge is matched with
an asset or liability with which it has a high correlation. The swap agreements
are generally held-to-maturity and the Company does not use derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses interest rate swaps to
effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt for the financed
portion of fixed rate assets. The differential to be paid or received on these
agreements is recognized as an adjustment to the interest expense related to
debt and is recognized on the accrual basis.
The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates at September 30,
2002. For financial assets and debt obligations, the table presents cash flows
to the expected maturity and weighted-average interest rates based upon the
current carrying values. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional
amounts and weighted-average fixed pay and variable receive interest rates by
contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the
contractual cash flows to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted-average
variable rates are based on rates in effect as of the reporting date.
