Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1Business and Organization
BusinessiStar Financial Inc., or the "Company," is a fully-integrated finance and investment company focused on the commercial real estate
industry. The Company provides custom-tailored investment capital to high-end private and corporate owners of real estate and invests directly across a range of real estate sectors. The
Company is taxed as a real estate investment trust, or "REIT." The Company's primary business segments are lending, net leasing and real estate investment. See Note 11 for discussion of the
impact of recent economic conditions on the Company and business risks and uncertainties.
OrganizationThe Company began its business in 1993 through private investment funds and became publicly traded in 1998. Since that time, the Company
has grown through the origination of new lending and leasing transactions, as well as through corporate acquisitions, including the acquisition of TriNet Corporate Realty Trust, Inc. in 1999,
the acquisitions of Falcon Financial Investment Trust and a significant non-controlling interest in Oak Hill Advisors, L.P. and affiliates in 2005, and the acquisition of the
commercial real estate lending business and loan portfolio of Fremont Investment and Loan, a division of Fremont General Corporation, in 2007.
Note 2Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related
Notes should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
In
the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year.
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes to conform to the 2011 presentation.
Principles of ConsolidationThe Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries,
controlled partnerships and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Consolidated VIEsThe Company consolidates OHA Strategic Credit Fund Parallel I, L.P. ("OHA SCF"), which was created to invest in distressed
and undervalued loans, bonds, equities and other investments. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, OHA SCF had $50.9 million and $45.7 million,

respectively,
of total assets, no debt, and $0.1 million of noncontrolling interests. The investments held by this entity are presented in "Other investments" on the Company's Consolidated
Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had a total unfunded commitment of $26.8 million to this entity.
The
Company also consolidates Madison Deutsche Andau Holdings, LP ("Madison DA"), which was created to invest in mortgage loans collateralized by real estate in Europe. As of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Madison DA had $60.6 million and $58.0 million, respectively, of total assets, no debt, and $9.0 million and
$8.6 million of noncontrolling interests, respectively. The investments held by
this entity are presented in "Loans and other lending investments, net" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Unconsolidated VIEsThe Company determined that as of March 31, 2011, 27 of its other investments were VIEs where it is not the primary
beneficiary and accordingly the VIEs have not been consolidated in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2011, the Company's maximum exposure to loss from these
investments does not exceed the sum of the $235.8 million carrying value of the investments and $9.7 million of related unfunded commitments.
Note 3Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As of March 31, 2011, the Company's significant accounting policies, which are detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010, have not changed materially.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-02, "A
Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring," ("ASU 2010-02"), which provides additional guidance to creditors for determining whether a loan
modification is a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). The guidance provides additional considerations in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and adds factors for creditors to
consider in determining whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The new ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 with
retrospective application for loan modifications that have occurred from the beginning of the annual period of adoption (or January 1, 2011 for the
Company). As a result of this adoption the Company may identify loan modifications that qualify as TDRs and therefore are considered impaired. Impairment for newly identified TDRs will be measured and
recorded in the period of adoption. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-02 for the reporting period ending September 30, 2011, as required. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
January 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-01, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20," which
temporarily deferred the effective date in ASU 2010-20, "Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses" in respect of disclosures
related to troubled debt restructuring until FASB finalized ASU 2010-20 (see above). ASU 2010-20 requires companies to provide disaggregated levels of disclosure by portfolio segment and
class to enable users of the financial statement to understand the nature of loan

modifications
and troubled debt restructurings. The Company will adopt the deferred reporting requirements of ASU 2010-20 for the reporting period ending September 30, 2011, as
required.

Explanatory Note:

- Includes
minimum required amortization payments on the New Facility.
New FacilityIn March 2011, the Company entered into a new $2.95 billion senior secured credit agreement comprised of a $1.50 billion
term loan facility bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% and maturing in June 2013 (the "Tranche A-1 Facility") and a $1.45 billion term loan facility bearing
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.75% maturing in June 2014 (the "Tranche A-2 Facility"), together the "New Facility." Both tranches include a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. The
Tranche A-1 Facility and Tranche A-2 Facility were issued at discounts to par of 1.0% and 1.5%, respectively. Proceeds from the New Facility were used to fully repay the
$1.67 billion and $0.9 billion outstanding under the Company's secured credit facilities, which were due to mature in June 2011 and June 2012, respectively. Proceeds were also used to
repay $175.0 million of the Company's unsecured credit facilities due in June 2011. The remaining proceeds will be used to repay other unsecured debt maturing in the first half of 2011.
The
New Facility is collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets consisting of loan, net lease and OREO assets. Proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral
will be applied to amortize the New Facility. Proceeds in respect of additional amounts funded on assets serving as collateral, as well as interest, rent, lease payments and fee income will be
retained by the Company. The Tranche A-1 Facility requires that aggregate cumulative amortization payments of not less than $200.0 million shall be made on or before
December 30, 2011, not less than $450.0 million on or before June 30, 2012, not less than $750.0 million on or before December 31, 2012 and not less than
$1.50 billion on or before June 28, 2013. The Tranche A-2 Facility will begin amortizing six months after the repayment in full of the Tranche A-1
Facility, such that not less than $150.0 million of cumulative amortization payments shall be made on or before the six month anniversary of repayment of the A-1 Facility, with
additional amortization payments

Note 9Debt Obligations, net (Continued)
of
$150 million due on or before each six month anniversary thereafter until the Tranche A-2 Facility is fully repaid.
Secured Term LoansThe Company refinanced its $47.7 million outstanding principal balance in a secured term loan that matured in March 2011.
The new term loan bears interest at LIBOR + 4.50%, matures in March 2014 and is collateralized by the same net lease assets as the original term loan. Simultaneously with the
refinancing, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to exchange its variable rate on the note for a 6.11% fixed interest rate (see Note 10).
Secured NotesIn January 2011, the Company fully redeemed the $312.3 million remaining principal balance of its 10% senior secured notes due
June 2014. In connection with this redemption, the Company recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $109.0 million in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2011.
Unsecured NotesIn March 2011, the Company repaid the $107.8 million outstanding principal balance of its 5.80% senior unsecured notes upon
maturity.
Debt Covenants
The Company's New Facility contains certain covenants, including covenants relating to the delivery of information to the lenders,
collateral coverage, dividend payments, restrictions on fundamental changes, transactions with affiliates and matters relating to the liens granted to the lenders. In particular, the Company is
required to maintain collateral coverage of 1.25x outstanding borrowings. In addition, for so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the New Facility permits it to distribute 100%
of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis. The Company may not pay common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT.
The
Company's outstanding unsecured debt securities contain corporate level covenants that include unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness and fixed charge coverage ratios. The
unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness covenant is a maintenance covenant, while the fixed charge coverage ratio is an incurrence test. While the Company expects that its ability to incur new
indebtedness under the coverage ratio will be limited for the foreseeable future, it will continue to be permitted to incur indebtedness for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness and for
other permitted purposes under the indentures. Based on the Company's unsecured credit ratings, the financial covenants in its debt securities, including the fixed charge coverage ratio and
maintenance of unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness ratio, are currently operative. If any of the Company's covenants is breached and not cured within applicable cure periods, the breach
could result in acceleration of its debt securities unless a waiver or modification is agreed upon with the requisite percentage of the bondholders.
The
Company's New Facility contains cross default provisions that would allow the lenders to declare an event of default and accelerate its indebtedness to them if the Company fails to
pay amounts due in respect of its other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds or if the lenders under such other indebtedness are otherwise permitted to accelerate such indebtedness
for any reason. The indentures governing the Company's unsecured public debt securities permit the lenders and bondholders to declare an event of default and accelerate its indebtedness to them if the
Company's other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds or if such indebtedness is accelerated. The Company's unsecured credit
20

Note 9Debt Obligations, net (Continued)
facilities
permit the lenders to accelerate its indebtedness to them if other recourse indebtedness of the Company in excess of specified thresholds is accelerated.
Ratings Triggers
Borrowings under the Company's unsecured credit facilities bear interest at LIBOR based rates plus an applicable margin which varies
between the facilities and is determined based on the Company's corporate credit ratings. The Company's ability to borrow under its credit facilities is not dependent on the level of its credit
ratings. Based on the Company's current credit ratings, further downgrades in the Company's credit ratings will have no effect on the borrowing rates under these facilities.
Note 10Derivatives
The Company's use of derivative financial instruments is primarily limited to the utilization of interest rate hedges or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposure and
foreign exchange hedges to manage its risk to changes in foreign currencies. The principal objective of such hedges are to minimize
the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate movements.

Qualifying Cash Flow HedgesDuring the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount
of $47.7 million, maturing in March 2014, to synthetically convert its LIBOR + 4.50% variable rate to a 6.11% fixed rate. The effective portion of the change in the fair
value of this qualifying hedge is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects that
$0.6 million of expense and $0.7 million of income related to the qualifying cash flow hedge and terminated cash flow hedges, respectively, will be reclassified from Accumulated other
comprehensive income into earnings.

Note 10Derivatives (Continued)
Credit risk-related contingent featuresThe Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision
where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
In
connection with its foreign currency derivatives, as of March 31, 2011, the Company has posted collateral of $35.4 million which is included in "Restricted cash" on the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Note 11Commitments and Contingencies
Business Risks and UncertaintiesThe economic recession and tightening of capital markets adversely affected the Company's business. The Company
experienced significant provisions for loan losses and impairments resulting from high levels of non-performing loans and increasing amounts of real estate owned as the Company took title
to assets of defaulting borrowers. The economic conditions and their effect on the Company's operations also resulted in increases in its financing costs and an inability to access the unsecured debt
markets. Since the beginning of the crisis, the Company has significantly curtailed asset originations and has focused primarily on resolving problem assets, generating liquidity, retiring debt,
decreasing leverage and preserving shareholder value.
The
Company saw early signs of an economic recovery during 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, including some improvements in the commercial real estate market and greater stability in
the capital markets. These conditions resulted in reduced additions to non-performing loans, reductions in provisions for loan losses and increased levels of liquidity to fund operations.
In addition, the Company completed the New Facility in the first quarter of 2011. Despite the improvements, the impact of the economic recession continues to have an effect on the Company's
operations, primarily evidenced by continuing elevated levels of non-performing assets. Additionally, many of the improving trends in the Company's financial condition and operating
results are dependent on a sustained recovery and there can be no assurance that the recent improvement in conditions will continue in the future.
The
Company has approximately $837 million of debt maturing and minimum required amortization payments due on or before December 31, 2011. The Company believes that its
available cash and expected proceeds from asset repayments and sales as well as other refinancing alternatives will be sufficient to meet its obligations for the remainder of the year. However, the
timing and amounts of expected proceeds from expected asset repayments and sales are subject to factors outside of the Company's control and cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company's plans are
dynamic and it may adjust its plans in response to changes in its expectations and changes in market conditions. The Company would be materially adversely affected if it is unable to repay or
refinance its debt as it comes due.

income
taxes. The Company has recorded net operating losses and may record net operating losses in the future, which may reduce its taxable income in future periods and lower or eliminate entirely the
Company's obligation to pay dividends for such periods in order to maintain its REIT qualification. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues
and expenses (such as depreciation and certain asset impairments), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends or, alternatively, may be required
to borrow to make sufficient dividend payments. The Company's New Facility permits the Company to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis, for so long as the Company maintains
its qualification as a REIT. The New Facility restricts the Company from paying any common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT. The Company did not declare or pay any Common Stock dividends
for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Stock Repurchase ProgramsAs of March 31, 2011, the Company had $14.1 million of Common Stock available to repurchase under the Board
authorized stock repurchase programs.
Note 13Stock-Based Compensation Plans and Employee Benefits
Stock-based CompensationThe Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $4.2 million and $4.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in "General and administrative" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2011, there was
$16.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting/service
period of 0.78 years. As of March 31, 2011, an aggregate of 3.3 million shares remain available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Company's 2006 and 2009
Long-Term Incentive Plans.
Restricted Stock Units
2011 AwardsDuring the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company granted 621,257 service based restricted stock units to employees that
represent the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (after deducting shares for minimum required statutory withholdings) if and when the units vest. Of these
awards, 581,257 will cliff vest in two years from the grant date, while 40,000 will cliff vest in three years, if the employee is employed by the Company on the specified vesting date. These awards
carry dividend equivalent rights that entitle the holder to receive dividend payments prior to vesting, if and when dividends are paid on shares of the Company's Common Stock. The aggregate grant date
fair value of these awards was $5.6 million. As of March 31, 2011, all of these awards remained outstanding.
Other Outstanding AwardsIn addition to the awards granted in 2011, noted above, the following awards remained outstanding as of March 31,
2011:
-
- 1,354,564 service-based restricted stock units to employees that represent the right to receive an equivalent number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock (after deducting shares for minimum required statutory withholdings) if and when the units vest. These units will cliff vest on February 17, 2012 if the
employee is employed by the Company on that date and carry dividend equivalent rights that entitle the holder to receive dividend payments prior to vesting, if and when dividends are paid on shares of
the Company's Common Stock.

Note 13Stock-Based Compensation Plans and Employee Benefits (Continued)
-
- 806,518 performance-based restricted stock units to the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. These units
represent the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (after deducting shares for minimum required statutory withholdings) if and when the units vest. The
performance-based units will cliff vest on March 2, 2012 if certain performance and service conditions have been achieved, relating to reductions in the Company's general and administrative
expenses, retirement of debt and continued employment. The performance conditions were satisfied during the year ended December 31, 2010, therefore, vesting is now based solely on continued
employment through March 2, 2012. Since the performance conditions have been achieved, these units now carry dividend equivalent rights that entitle the holder to receive dividend payments, if
and when dividends are paid on shares of the Company's Common Stock.
-
- 8,325,000 market-condition based restricted stock units granted to executives and other officers of the Company on
December 19, 2008. These units will vest in one installment on January 1, 2012 only if the Common Stock achieves a price of $10.00 or more (average NYSE closing price over 20 consecutive
trading days) prior to December 19, 2011 and the employee is thereafter employed on the vesting date. These awards established $4.00 and $7.00 price targets for the first and second measurement
periods ended December 19, 2009 and December 19, 2010, respectively, which were not achieved, therefore only the $10.00 price target remains applicable. If this price target is achieved,
the units will thereafter be entitled to dividend equivalent payments as dividends are paid on the Company's Common Stock. Upon vesting of these units, holders will receive shares of the Company's
Common Stock in the amount of the vested units, net of statutory minimum tax withholdings.
-
- 2,000,000 market-condition based restricted stock units contingently awarded to the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer on October 9, 2008 and approved by shareholders on May 27, 2009. These units will cliff vest in one installment on October 9, 2011 only if the total shareholder return on
the Company's Common Stock is at least 25% per year (compounded at the end of the three year vesting period, including dividends). Total shareholder return will be based on the average NYSE closing
prices for the Company's Common Stock for the 20 days prior to: (a) the date of the award on October 9, 2008 (which was $3.38); and (b) the vesting date (which must be at
least $6.58 if no dividends are paid). No dividends will be paid on these units prior to vesting. Upon vesting of these units, the holder will receive shares of the Company's Common Stock in the
amount of the vested units, net of statutory minimum tax withholdings.
-
- 1,525,000 restricted stock units awarded to certain officers on October 9, 2008, as special retention incentive,
which will cliff vest in one installment on October 9, 2011, if the holders are employed on the vesting date. The unvested units are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments as
dividends are paid on shares of the Company's Common Stock.
-
- 76,395 service-based restricted stock units with original vesting terms ranging from three to five years that are entitled
to be paid dividends as dividends are paid on shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Stock OptionsAs of March 31, 2011, the Company had 95,405 stock options outstanding and exercisable with a weighted average strike price of
$27.45 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.62 years.

Common Stock Equivalents ("CSEs")As of March 31, 2011, 281,958 CSEs granted to members of the Company's Board of Directors remained
outstanding and had an aggregate intrinsic value of $2.6 million.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors decided pursuant to the terms of the non-employee directors deferral plan to require settlement of
CSEs in shares of the Company's Common Stock, thereby eliminating the cash settlement option. This modification converted these liability-based awards to equity awards and as such, the Company
reclassified $2.4 million from "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities" to "Additional paid-in capital" during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
401(k) PlanThe Company made gross contributions to its 401(k) Plan of approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively

Note 16Fair Values
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to be used in valuation techniques to measure fair value:
Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2:
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
and
Level 3:
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market
activity).
Certain
of the Company's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Assets required to be
marked-to-market and reported at fair value every reporting period are classified as being valued on a recurring basis. Other assets not required to be recorded at fair value
every period may be recorded at fair value if a specific provision or other impairment is recorded within the period to mark the carrying value of the asset to market as of the reporting date. Such
assets are classified as being valued on a non-recurring basis.

Explanatory Note:
- (1)
- The
carrying values of other financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued interest receivable and accounts payable,
approximate the fair values of the instruments. The fair value of other financial instruments, including derivative assets and liabilities and marketable securities are included in the previous table.
Given the nature of certain assets and liabilities, clearly determinable market based valuation inputs are often not available, therefore, these
assets and liabilities are valued using internal valuation techniques. Subjectivity exists with respect to these internal valuation techniques, therefore, the fair values disclosed may not ultimately
be realized by the Company if the assets were sold or the liabilities were settled with third parties. The methods the Company used to estimate the fair values presented in the two tables are
described more fully below for each type of asset and liability.
DerivativesThe Company uses interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivatives to manage its interest rate and foreign currency risk. The valuation
of these instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the
period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to
appropriately reflect both its own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty's non-performance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of
its derivative contracts for the effect of non-performance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings,
thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. The Company has determined that the significant inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
SecuritiesAll of the Company's available-for-sale and impaired held-to-maturity debt and equity
securities are actively traded and have been valued using quoted market prices. The Company's traded marketable securities are valued using market quotes, to the extent they are available, or broker
quotes that fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Impaired loansThe Company's loans identified as being impaired are nearly all collateral dependent loans and are evaluated for impairment by
comparing the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the carrying value of each loan. Due to the nature of the individual properties collateralizing the Company's
loans, the Company generally uses a discounted cash flow methodology through internally developed valuation models to estimate the fair value of the collateral. This approach requires the Company to
make significant judgments in respect to discount rates, capitalization rates and
33
Table of Contents
iStar Financial Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(unaudited)
Note 16Fair Values (Continued)
the
timing and amounts of estimated future cash flows that are all considered Level 3 inputs. These cash flows generally include property revenues, lot and unit sale prices and velocity,
operating costs, and costs of completion. In more limited cases, the Company obtains external "as is" appraisals for loan collateral, generally when third party participations exist, and appraised
values may be discounted when real estate markets rapidly deteriorate.
Impaired equity method investmentsIf the Company determines an equity method investment is other than temporarily impaired it records an impairment
charge to adjust the investment to its estimated fair market value. To estimate the fair value of an investment in a fund that invests in real estate, the Company estimates the fair value of the
individual properties held within the fund using a discounted cash flow methodology through internally developed valuation models. This approach requires the Company to make significant judgments with
respect to discount rates, capitalization rates and the timing and amounts of estimated future cash flows that are all considered Level 3 inputs. These cash flows are primarily based on
expected future leasing rates, operating costs and sales prices.
Impaired cost method investmentsIf the Company determines a cost method investment is other than temporarily impaired, it records an impairment
charge to adjust the investment to its estimated fair market value. The Company estimates the fair value of its impaired cost method investments using internally developed valuation models.
Impaired OREO assetsIf the Company determines an OREO asset is impaired it records an impairment charge to adjust the asset to its estimated fair
market value less costs to sell. Due to the nature of the individual properties in the OREO portfolio, the Company generally uses a discounted cash flow methodology through internally developed
valuation models to estimate the fair value of the assets. This approach requires the Company to make significant judgments with respect to discount rates, capitalization rates and the timing and
amounts of estimated future cash flows that are all considered Level 3 inputs. These cash flows generally include property revenues, lot and unit sale prices and velocity, operating costs, and
costs of completion.
Loans and other lending investmentsThe Company estimates the fair value of its performing loans and other lending investments using a discounted cash
flow methodology. This method discounts estimated future cash flows using rates management determines best reflect current market interest rates that would be offered for loans with similar
characteristics and credit quality.
Debt obligations, netFor debt obligations traded in secondary markets, the Company uses market quotes, to the extent they are available, to determine
fair value. For debt obligations not traded in secondary markets, the Company determines fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology, whereby contractual cash flows are discounted at rates
that management determines best reflect current market interest rates that would be charged for debt with similar characteristics and credit quality.
Note 17Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that it has three reportable segments based on how management reviews and manages its business. These reportable segments include: Real Estate Lending, Net
Leasing and Real Estate Investment. The Real Estate Lending segment includes all of the Company's activities related to senior and mezzanine real estate debt and corporate capital investments. The Net
Leasing

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to
our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements are included with respect to, among other things, iStar Financial Inc.'s (the "Company's") current business plan, business strategy, portfolio
management, prospects and liquidity. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "plan,"
"may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results or outcomes to differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. In assessing all forward-looking statements, readers are urged to read carefully all cautionary statements contained in this Form 10-Q and the
uncertainties and risks described in Item 1A"Risk Factors" in our 2010 Annual Report (as defined below), all of which could affect our future results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity. For purposes of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to iStar Financial Inc. and
its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The
discussion below should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the "2010 Annual Report"). These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. We
have reclassified certain items in our consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to our current financial statements presentation.
Introduction
iStar Financial Inc. is a fully-integrated finance and investment company focused on the commercial real estate industry. We
provide custom-tailored investment capital to high-end private and corporate owners of real estate and invest directly across a range of real estate sectors. We are taxed as a real estate
investment trust, or "REIT," and have invested more than $35 billion over the past two decades. Our primary business segments are lending, net leasing and real estate investment.
The
lending portfolio is primarily comprised of senior and mezzanine real estate loans that typically range in size from $20 million to $150 million and have original terms
generally ranging from three to ten years. These loans may be either fixed-rate (based on the U.S. Treasury rate plus a spread) or variable-rate (based on LIBOR plus a spread)
and are structured to meet the specific financing needs of borrowers. Our portfolio also includes senior and subordinated loans to corporations, particularly those engaged in real estate or real
estate related businesses. These financings may be either secured or unsecured, typically range in size from $20 million to $150 million and have initial maturities generally ranging
from three to ten years. Our loan portfolio includes whole loans, loan participations and debt securities.
Our
net lease portfolio is primarily comprised of properties owned by us and leased to single creditworthy tenants, where the properties are generally mission critical headquarters or
distribution facilities that are subject to long-term leases. Most of the leases provide for expenses at
the facility to be paid by the tenant on a triple net lease basis. Net lease transactions have initial terms generally ranging from 15 to 20 years and typically range in size from
$20 million to $150 million.
Our
real estate investment portfolio includes real estate held for investment ("REHI") and other real estate owned ("OREO") properties acquired through foreclosure or through
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in full or partial satisfaction of non-performing loans. We have developed significant expertise in the ownership and repositioning of
multifamily, condominium, master planned and development properties,
37
Table of Contents
and
through the infusion of capital and/or intensive asset management, we generally seek to reposition these assets with the objective of maximizing our recovery with respect to the investments.
Our
primary sources of revenues are interest income, which is the interest that borrowers pay on loans, and operating lease income, which is the rent that corporate customers pay to
lease our properties. We primarily generate income through the "spread" or "margin," which is the difference between the revenues generated from loans and leases and interest expense and the cost of
net lease operations. Going forward, we also expect to earn income from our other real estate investments. Income from real estate investments may include operating revenues as well as income from
sales of properties either in bulk or through unit sales. This income will be reduced by holding costs while the real estate investments are redeveloped, repositioned and eventually sold.
Executive Overview
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded net income allocable to common shareholders of $67.4 million, resulting
in earnings of $0.71 per diluted common share. This compares to a net loss allocable to common shareholders of $25.4 million, or a loss of $0.27 per diluted common share, in the same period
last year. The improvement in results was driven by reductions in provision for loan losses and impairments of assets, which together decreased to $12.3 million in the current quarter, compared
to $95.4 million in the same period last year. The improvement was also due to a $109.0 million gain on the early extinguishment of our 10% senior secured notes, as well as lower
interest expense resulting from repurchases and repayments of debt over the last year. This was offset by a reduction in interest income resulting from a smaller performing loan portfolio. We do not
expect to record significant additional gains from early extinguishment of debt for the foreseeable future while trading prices for our debt securities remain at or above current levels.
Adjusted
EBITDA for the first quarter was $94.9 million, compared to $173.2 million for the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease is
primarily due to lower revenues from a smaller overall asset base, resulting from loan repayments and sales, as well as the sale
of a portfolio of net lease assets during the second quarter last year. The decrease was partially offset by increased earnings from equity method investments.
The
improving economic trends we noted in 2010 continued to have a positive impact on our portfolio during the first quarter of this year. From a credit perspective, we saw improvements
in the risk ratings of both our performing loan and net lease portfolios, as well as a reduction in our balance of watch list loans. In addition, the provision for loan losses and impairments
decreased and our balance of non-performing loans decreased slightly to $1.30 billion at quarter-end. Our real estate investment portfolio, comprised of our REHI and
OREO assets, totaled $1.65 billion at quarter-end as compared to $1.37 billion at March 31, 2010. We continued our intensive asset management work on repositioning
assets within this portfolio as we seek to maximize their value and will continue to incur the costs of carrying and repositioning these assets. These costs totaled $17.8 million in the quarter
ended March 31, 2011 versus $12.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
During
the quarter we entered into a new $2.95 billion senior secured credit agreement including a $1.50 billion Tranche A-1 Facility due June 2013 and a
$1.45 billion Tranche A-2 Facility due June 2014 (see New Facility below). Proceeds from the New Facility were primarily used to refinance the secured debt that was due in
2011 and 2012, as well as pay down our unsecured credit facility due in June by $175.0 million. The refinancing of our secured credit facilities with the New Facility has better aligned our
asset and liability maturity profiles; however, the New Facility carries higher interest costs than the debt that was refinanced with the proceeds from the New Facility which will impact our future
earnings. In the near term, we expect to pursue lower levels of asset sales unless we feel full value can be realized or we require additional liquidity. We also expect that new investments will be
limited relative to expected repayments and we will continue to use excess proceeds to further strengthen the balance sheet through additional deleveraging.
38
Table of Contents
As
of March 31, 2011, we had approximately $837 million of debt maturing and minimum required amortization payments due on or before December 31, 2011. We had
$318.4 million of unrestricted cash outstanding at quarter-end and our capital sources in the coming year will primarily include loan repayments, proceeds from strategic asset sales
and may include other financing alternatives, including secured and unsecured debt. Many of the improving trends in our financial condition and operating results, as well our ability to generate
future liquidity, are dependent on a sustained economic recovery, however, and there can be no assurance that the recent improvement in conditions will continue into the future.

RevenueThe decrease in interest income is primarily a result of a decline in the average balance of performing loans to $3.18 billion for
the
three months ended March 31, 2011 from $4.55 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in performing loans was primarily due to loan repayments and sales as
well as performing loans moving to non-performing status (see Risk Management below). Also contributing to the decrease was $15.1 million of interest income recorded during the quarter ended
March 31, 2010, related to a non-performing loan that was repaid in full, including interest not previously recorded due to the loan being on non-accrual status.
Operating
lease income from net lease assets decreased primarily due to tenant lease expirations and lower rent received as a result of lease restructurings.
The
decrease in other income was primarily driven by a $8.3 million decrease in loan prepayment penalties received offset by a $3.4 million increase in operating income from REHI
assets as a result of taking ownership of more operating properties.
Costs and expensesTotal costs and expenses decreased primarily due to lower provisions for loan losses, fewer impairments of assets and reduced
interest expense. The decline in our provisions for loan losses was primarily due to fewer loans moving to non-performing status during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as
compared to the same period in 2010. Additionally, a smaller performing loan asset base has resulted in a reduction in the required general loan loss reserve. (See Risk Management below.)

Table of Contents
Interest
expense decreased primarily due to the repayment and retirement of debt during the last 12 months. The average outstanding balance of our debt declined to
$7.04 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $10.58 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010. In addition, the weighted average effective cost of
debt remained relatively flat at 4.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to 3.96% during the same period in 2010. As a result of the higher interest rates on our New
Facility, our weighted average contractual interest rate on debt outstanding at March 31, 2011 is 5.07%.
Impairment
of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily consisted of $0.6 million of impairments on OREO assets and $0.9 million on equity
investments. Asset impairments during the same period of 2010 included $4.9 million on OREO assets and $1.0 million on equity investments.
The
decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due to lower payroll and employee related costs resulting from reduced headcount.
Offsetting
these declines in expense were increases in other expense and operating costs for REHI and OREO. Other expenses increased primarily due to income tax expense incurred on
earnings generated by equity method investments held in taxable REIT subsidiaries. Operating costs for REHI and OREO were greater due to an increase in the number of properties held in the current
period.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt, netDuring the first quarter of 2011, we redeemed our $312.3 million remaining principal amount of 10%
senior secured notes due June 2014 and recorded a $109.0 million gain on early extinguishment of debt. Offseting this gain was the write-off of $2.4 million of unamortized deferred fees
relating to the debt repaid with our New Facility. During the same period in 2010, we retired $222.6 million par value of our senior secured and unsecured notes through open market repurchases
and recognized $38.7 million in gains on early extinguishment of debt.
Earnings from equity method investmentsThe increase in earnings from equity method investments was primarily attributable to our investment in
LNR
that was made in July 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded $14.0 million of earnings from this investment which included $8.1 million of income
related to a non-recurring settlement of a deferred liability.
Discontinued operationsDuring the first quarter of 2011, loss from discontinued operations primarily included certain expenses incurred relating
to
net lease assets sold. During the same period of 2010, income from discontinued operations included net income from net lease assets sold in the past 12 months, including a portfolio of 32 net
lease assets.
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to net income, we use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss)
plus the sum of interest expense, depreciation, and amortization, income taxes, provision for loan losses, impairment of assets, stock based compensation expense less the gain on early extinguishment
of debt, net.
We
believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to consider, in addition to net income (loss), as it helps us evaluate core operating performance prior to interest expense and certain
non-cash items.
Adjusted
EBITDA should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative
to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our
liquidity, nor is Adjusted EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. Rather, Adjusted EBITDA is an additional measure for us to use to
analyze how our

business
is performing. It should be noted that our manner of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.

of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, carrying values of non-performing loans are net of asset-specific reserves for loan
losses of $676.5 million and $667.8 million, respectively.
Non-Performing LoansWe designate loans as non-performing at such time as: (1) the loan becomes 90 days
delinquent; (2) the loan has a maturity default; or (3) management determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the
loan. All
41
Table of Contents
non-performing
loans are placed on non-accrual status and income is only recognized in certain cases upon actual cash receipt. As of March 31, 2011, we had
non-performing loans with an aggregate carrying value of $1.30 billion. Our non-performing loans decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily
due to transfers of non-performing loans to REHI and OREO as well as sales and repayments.
Watch List LoansDuring our quarterly loan portfolio assessments, loans are put on the watch list if deteriorating performance indicates they
warrant
a higher degree of monitoring and senior management attention. As of March 31, 2011, we had loans on the watch list (excluding non-performing loans) with an aggregate carrying value
of $146.2 million.
Reserve for Loan LossesThe reserve for loan losses was $804.1 million as of March 31, 2011, or 15.8% of the gross carrying value of
total loans, down from $814.6 million or 15.1% at December 31, 2010. The change in the balance of the reserve was the result of $10.9 million of provisioning for loan losses,
reduced by $21.4 million of charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The reserve is increased through the provision for loan losses, which reduces income in
the period recorded and the reserve is reduced through charge-offs. Due to the continued volatility of the commercial real estate market, the process of estimating collateral values and
reserves continues to require us to use significant judgment. We currently believe there is adequate collateral and reserves to support the carrying values of the loans.
The
reserve for loan losses includes an asset-specific component and a formula-based component. An asset-specific reserve is established for an impaired loan when the estimated fair
value of the loan's collateral less costs to sell is lower than the carrying value of the loan. As of March 31, 2011, asset-specific reserves increased slightly to $706.8 million
compared to $694.4 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to impairments on new non-performing loans, offset by charge-offs on assets that were sold or transferred to REHI and OREO.
The
formula-based general reserve is derived from estimated principal default probabilities and loss severities applied to groups of performing loans based upon risk ratings assigned to
loans with similar risk characteristics during our quarterly loan portfolio assessment. During this assessment we perform a comprehensive analysis of our loan portfolio and assign risk ratings to
loans that incorporate management's current judgments about their credit quality based on all known and relevant factors that may affect collectability. We consider, among other things, payment
status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographical location as well as national and regional economic factors. This
methodology results in loans being segmented by risk classification into risk rating categories that are associated with estimated probabilities of default and principal loss. We estimate loss rates
based on historical realized losses experienced within our portfolio and take into account current economic conditions affecting the commercial real estate market when establishing appropriate time
frames to evaluate loss experience.
The
general reserve was $97.3 million or 3.1% of the gross carrying value of performing loans as of March 31, 2011, compared to $120.2 million or 3.6% of the gross
carrying value of performing loans at December 31, 2010. The decrease in the balance of the general reserve resulted from the decrease in performing loans outstanding to $3.12 billion as
of March 31, 2011 from $3.37 billion as of December 31, 2010. The reduction in general reserves as a percentage of performing loans outstanding was attributable to an improvement
in the weighted average risk ratings of performing loans outstanding to 3.37 at the end of the current period compared to 3.51 as of December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we entered into a $2.95 billion senior secured credit facility and used the
proceeds to repay $2.57 billion of outstanding borrowings under our existing secured credit facilities, which were due to mature in June 2011 and June 2012. Proceeds were also used to repay
$175.0 million of our unsecured credit facilities due in June 2011. The remaining proceeds will be used to repay other unsecured debt maturing in the first half of 2011. In addition, during the
first quarter of 2011, we repaid the remaining $107.8 million principal amount of 5.80% unsecured senior notes due March 2011 and completed the redemption of our remaining $312.3 million
principal amount of 10% senior secured

Table of Contents
notes
due June 2014. As of March 31, 2011, we had approximately $837 million of debt maturing and minimum required amortization payments due on or before December 31, 2011.
As
of March 31, 2011, we had $318.4 million of unrestricted cash. Our capital sources in the coming year will primarily include loan repayments and proceeds from strategic
asset sales and planned OREO sales as well as other financing alternatives. For the remainder of the year, we expect to use these proceeds to supplement operating revenues in order to repay our debt
obligations and to fund loan commitments, investment activities and operating expenses, including costs to reposition our OREO and REHI assets.
We
believe that our available cash, expected proceeds from asset repayments and sales and other financing alternatives will be sufficient to meet our obligations during the remainder of
the year. However, the timing and amounts of proceeds from asset repayments and sales are subject to factors outside our control and cannot be predicted with certainty. Other financing alternatives
that may be available to us include secured and unsecured financings and possibly other capital raising transactions. We actively manage our liquidity and continually work on initiatives to address
both our liquidity needs and compliance with the covenants in our debt instruments. Our plans are dynamic and we may adjust our plans in response to changes in our expectations and changes in market
conditions. We would be materially adversely affected if we were unable to repay or refinance our debt as it comes due.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2011, we generated a total of $260.4 million in proceeds from our portfolio. This included $213.2 million in loan principal
repayments, $20.6 million in loan sales, $25.7 million from sales of OREO and $0.7 million from sales of net lease assets. These proceeds were used in part to further reduce our
debt obligations and to fund a total of $43.9 million in pre-existing investments. We also paid preferred dividends totaling $10.5 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2011.
Contractual ObligationsThe following table outlines the contractual obligations related to our long-term debt agreements and operating
lease obligations as of March 31, 2011.

New FacilityIn March 2011, we entered into a new $2.95 billion senior secured credit agreement comprised of a $1.50 billion term loan
facility bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% and maturing in June 2013 (the "Tranche A-1 Facility") and a $1.45 billion term loan facility bearing interest at a
rate of LIBOR plus 5.75% maturing in June 2014 (the "Tranche A-2 Facility"), together the "New Facility." Both tranches include a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. The Tranche A-1
Facility and Tranche A-2 Facility were issued at discounts to par of 1.0% and 1.5%, respectively. Proceeds from the New Facility were used to fully repay the $1.67 billion
and $0.9 billion outstanding under our secured credit facilities, which were due to mature in June 2011 and June 2012, respectively. Proceeds were also used to repay $175.0 million of
our unsecured credit facilities due in June 2011. The remaining proceeds will be used to repay other unsecured debt maturing in the first half of 2011.
The
New Facility is collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets consisting of loan, net lease and OREO assets. Proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral
will be applied to amortize the New Facility. Proceeds in respect of additional amounts funded on assets serving as collateral, as well as interest, rent, lease payments and fee income will be
retained by us. The Tranche A-1 Facility requires that aggregate cumulative amortization payments of not less than $200.0 million shall be made on or before
December 30, 2011, not less than $450.0 million on or before June 30, 2012, not less than $750.0 million on or before December 31, 2012 and not less than
$1.50 billion on or before June 28, 2013. The Tranche A-2 Facility will begin amortizing six months after the repayment in full of the Tranche A-1
Facility, such that not less than $150.0 million of cumulative amortization payments shall be made on or before the six month anniversary of repayment of the A-1 Facility, with
additional amortization payments of $150 million due on or before each six month anniversary thereafter until the Tranche A-2 Facility is fully repaid.
Secured Term LoansWe refinanced our $47.7 million outstanding principal balance in a secured term loan that matured in March 2011. The new
term loan bears interest at LIBOR + 4.50%, matures in March 2014 and is collateralized by the same net lease assets as the original term loan. Simultaneously with the refinancing, we entered into an
interest rate swap to exchange our variable rate on the note for a 6.11% fixed interest rate.
Secured NotesIn January 2011, we fully redeemed the $312.3 million remaining principal balance of our 10% senior secured notes due June
2014.
In connection with this redemption, we recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $109.0 million in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31,
2011.
Unsecured NotesIn March 2011, we repaid the $107.8 million outstanding principal balance of our 5.80% senior unsecured notes due upon
maturity.
Unencumbered/Encumbered AssetsAs of March 31, 2011 the Company had unencumbered assets with a gross carrying value of $5.82 billion,
gross of $830.4 million of accumulated depreciation and loan loss reserves.

Debt CovenantsOur New Facility contains certain covenants, including covenants relating to the delivery of information to the lenders, collateral
coverage, dividend payments, restrictions on fundamental changes, transactions with affiliates and matters relating to the liens granted to the lenders. In particular, we are required to maintain
collateral coverage of 1.25x outstanding borrowings. In addition, for so long as we maintain our qualification as a REIT, the New Facility permits us to distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income on
an annual basis. We may not pay common dividends if we ceases to qualify as a REIT.
Our
outstanding unsecured debt securities contain corporate level covenants that include unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness and fixed charge coverage ratios. The unencumbered
assets to unsecured indebtedness covenant is a maintenance covenant, while the fixed charge coverage ratio is an incurrence test. While we expect that our ability to incur new indebtedness under the
coverage ratio will be limited for the foreseeable future, we will continue to be permitted to incur indebtedness for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness and for other permitted purposes
under the indentures. Based on our unsecured credit ratings, the financial covenants in our debt securities, including the fixed charge coverage ratio and maintenance of unencumbered assets to
unsecured indebtedness ratio, are currently operative. If any of our covenants are breached and not cured within applicable cure periods, the breach could result in acceleration of our debt securities
unless a waiver or modification is agreed upon with the requisite percentage of the bondholders.
Our
New Facility contains cross default provisions that would allow the lenders to declare an event of default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we fail to pay amounts due in
respect of our other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds or if the lenders under such other indebtedness are otherwise permitted to accelerate such indebtedness for any reason. The
indentures governing our unsecured public debt securities permit the lenders and bondholders to declare an event of default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if our other recourse indebtedness
in excess of specified thresholds or if such indebtedness is accelerated. Our unsecured credit facilities permit the lenders to accelerate our indebtedness to them if other recourse indebtedness of us
in excess of specified thresholds is accelerated.
Ratings TriggersBorrowings under our unsecured credit facilities bear interest at LIBOR based rates plus an applicable margin which varies
between
the facilities and is determined based on our corporate credit ratings. Our ability to borrow under our credit facilities is not dependent on the level of our credit ratings. Based on our current
credit ratings, further downgrades in our credit ratings will have no effect on the borrowing rates under these facilities.
DerivativesOur use of derivative financial instruments is primarily limited to the utilization of interest rate hedges or other instruments to
manage
interest rate risk exposure and foreign exchange hedges to manage our risk to changes in foreign currencies. The principal objectives of such hedges are to minimize the risks and/or costs associated
with our operating and financial
structure and to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rate movements. As a result of the repayment of the secured credit facilities a portion of our multi-currency borrowing capacity was
extinguished. Accordingly, upon repayment of the facilities we simultaneously entered into foreign currency hedges to manage our exposure on foreign denominated investment assets. See Note 10
of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet TransactionsWe are not dependent on the use of any off-balance sheet financing arrangements for liquidity.
Unfunded CommitmentsWe generally fund construction and development loans and build-outs of space in net lease assets over a period of
time if and when the borrowers and tenants meet established milestones and other performance criteria. We refer to these arrangements as Performance-Based Commitments. In addition, we sometimes
establish a maximum amount of additional funding which we will make available to a borrower or tenant for an expansion or addition to a project if we approve of the expansion or addition in our sole
discretion. We refer to these arrangements as Discretionary Fundings. Finally, we have committed to invest capital in several real estate funds and other ventures. These
46
Table of Contents
arrangements
are referred to as Strategic Investments. As of March 31, 2011, the maximum amounts of the fundings we may make under each category, assuming all performance hurdles and milestones
are met under the Performance-Based Commitments, that we approve all Discretionary Fundings and that 100% of our capital committed to Strategic Investments is drawn down, are as follows ($ in

Transactions with Related PartiesWe have substantial investments in non-controlling interests of Oak Hill Advisors, L.P. and 13
related entities. In relation to our investment in these entities in 2005, we appointed Glenn R. August to our Board of Directors.
Mr. August is the president and senior partner of Oak Hill Advisors, L.P. and holds a substantial investment in these same entities. As of March 31, 2011 we have
$27.4 million of unfunded commitments to these entities.
Stock Repurchase ProgramsAs of March 31, 2011, we had $14.1 million of Common Stock available to repurchase under the Board authorized
stock repurchase programs.
Subsequent EventsSubsequent to quarter end, we repaid $83.6 million of our Tranche A-1 Facility and the
$96.9 million outstanding principal balance of our 5.125% senior unsecured notes that matured in April 2011. After giving effect to these repayments, we have approximately $657 million
of debt maturing and minimum required amortization payments due on or before December 31, 2011.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments in certain
circumstances that affect amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure that valuation methods,
including any judgments made as part of such methods, are well controlled, reviewed and applied consistently from period to period. We base our estimates on corporate and industry experience and
various other assumptions that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances.
A
summary of our critical accounting estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates as of March 31, 2011.
New Accounting PronouncementsFor a discussion of the impact of new accounting pronouncements on our financial condition or results of operations,
see
Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
There have been no material changes in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 as compared to the disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. See discussion of quantitative and
qualitative disclosures about market risk under Item 7a"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company has formed a disclosure committee that is responsible for considering the materiality of information and determining the disclosure obligations of the Company on a timely basis. The
disclosure committee reports directly to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
As
of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the disclosure committee and other members
of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
(i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
There
have been no changes during the last fiscal quarter in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures
within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's periodic reports.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries is party to various pending litigation matters that are considered ordinary routine
litigation incidental to its business as a finance and investment company focused on the commercial real estate industry, including loan foreclosure and foreclosure-related proceedings. In addition to
such matters, the Company or its
subsidiaries is a party to, or any of their property is the subject of, the following pending legal proceedings.
Citiline Holdings, Inc., et al. v. iStar Financial, Inc., et al.
In April 2008, two putative class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York naming the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers as defendants and alleging violations of federal securities laws. Both suits were purportedly filed on behalf of the
same putative class of investors who purchased Common Stock in the Company's December 13, 2007 public offering (the "Company's Offering"). The two complaints were consolidated in a single
proceeding (the "Citiline Action") on April 30, 2008.
On
November 17, 2008, Plumbers Union Local No. 12 Pension Fund and Citiline Holdings, Inc. were appointed Lead Plaintiffs to pursue the Citiline Action. Plaintiffs
filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint on February 2, 2009, purportedly on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's Common Stock between December 6, 2007 and
March 6, 2008 (the "Complaint"). The Complaint named as defendants the Company, certain of its current and former executive officers, and certain investment banks who served as underwriters in
the Company's Offering. The Complaint reasserted claims for alleged violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act, and added claims for alleged violations of
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs allege the defendants made certain material misstatements and omissions relating to the Company's continuing operations, including the
value of the Company's loan portfolio and certain debt securities held by the Company. The Complaint seeks certification as a class action, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys
fees, and rescission of the public offering. No class has been certified. The Company and its current and former officers filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint on April 27, 2009 and, on
March 26, 2010, the Court issued its order granting, in part, the dismissal of certain Securities Act claims against certain of the Company's current and former officers, but denying the motion
as to all claims asserted against the Company. Accordingly, the discovery process has commenced. The Company believes the Citiline Action has no merit and intends to continue defending itself
vigorously against it.
Shareholder Derivative Actions
In April and May 2010, three separate shareholder derivative complaints were filed, purportedly on the Company's behalf, against the
Company's Board of Directors and certain current and former executive officers. These actions arise out of the same facts and circumstances alleged in the Citiline Action (described above) and all
claimed that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and were liable to the Company for unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and waste of corporate
assets. Two of these complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the third was filed in Supreme Court of New York, County of New York. In June
2010, the New York state court action was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff. Plaintiffs in the other two derivative actions sought monetary damages, reimbursement for professional fees,
improvements in governance and controls and disgorgement of profits. The Company, as a nominal defendant on whose behalf the plaintiffs claim they are acting, filed motions to dismiss these claims on
the basis that neither shareholder had established the right to usurp the Board of Directors' power to decide whether and when a suit should be filed. Briefing on the motions to dismiss was completed
in November 2010. On March 31, 2011, the Court issued its order dismissing one of these remaining suits,
50
Table of Contents
Kautz v. Sugarman,
et al., in its entirety. Also on March 31, 2011, the Court denied the Company's motion to dismiss the last remaining action, Vancil v. Sugarman, et al., and
granted Plaintiff the opportunity to conduct limited discovery related to the subject matter of the suit. Discovery in the Vancil matter has not yet commenced.
Shareholder Letters
In 2010, the Company received letters from two shareholders alleging that certain current and former officers and directors breached
their fiduciary duties to the Company. The allegations made in these two letters are materially the same as those made in the Vancil suit described in the preceding paragraph. The shareholders on
whose behalf these letters were written have complied with the special committee's request to furnish evidence of their continuous ownership of iStar shares. The special committee of independent
directors is currently reviewing the claims made in these letters.
