    _______________________

    (1) IRRs are based on contractual investment terms such as coupon, rent and term. The Company makes assumptions
    as to the pace of fundings, timing of construction and residual value of real estate at the end of the lease term. The
    net lease joint venture can elect to take on leverage and the Company makes assumptions as to the amount of debt and
    the cost of debt the venture will take on. While the Company believes its assumptions are reasonable, they are
    dependent on future real estate market conditions, capital market conditions and interest rates. No assurance can be
    made that the Company's assumptions will reflect actual results.

The $1.43 billion of performing loans had a weighted average maturity of 1.6 years and generated a 9.1% unlevered yield for the quarter.

At September 30, 2016, the Company's non-performing loans (NPLs) were exclusively derived from its legacy loan portfolio with a carrying value of $222.5 million, up from $79.5 million in the second quarter. The $143.0 million sequential increase was related to a loan, secured in part by pledges of equity in a portfolio of hotels and recourse to the borrower, which ceased paying current interest after the borrower and most of its related entities filed for bankruptcy protection during the third quarter.

Net Lease

iStar's net lease business seeks to create stable cash flows through long-term leases to single tenants on its properties. The Company targets mission-critical facilities leased on a long-term basis to tenants, offering structured solutions that combine iStar's capabilities in underwriting, lease structuring, asset management and build-to-suit construction. The Company invests in new net lease investments primarily through its net lease joint venture, in which iStar holds a 52% interest. The joint venture has a right of first offer on any new net lease investments that iStar sources.

At the end of the quarter, iStar's net lease portfolio totaled $1.47 billion, gross of $362.3 million of accumulated depreciation.

iStar and its joint venture partner closed on a $145.0 million refinancing of 1000 South Clark, a 469-unit multifamily project located in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood.

Post refinancing, the Company's equity interest in the joint venture is 50%. At the end of the quarter, the Company moved the asset into its transitional commercial operating properties portfolio.

    _________________________________________________________

    (1) Adjusted Income allocable to common shareholders should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in
    the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to
    net income (determined in accordance with GAAP)or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with
    GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs or
    available for distribution to shareholders. It should be noted that the Company's manner of calculating this non-GAAP financial
    measure may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies. Management considers this
    non-GAAP financial measure as supplemental information to net income in analyzing the performance of our underlying business.
    Depreciation and amortization includes our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization expense relating to equity
    method investments and excludes the portion of depreciation and amortization expense allocable to non-controlling interests.
    Impairment of assets includes impairments on cost and equity method investments recorded in other income and earnings from
    equity method investments, respectively. Effective in the second quarter 2016, we modified our presentation of Adjusted
    Income to include losses on charge-offs and dispositions of previously impaired or reserved assets to provide a more
    informative metric for investors to help evaluate our operating performance. Losses on charge-offs and dispositions
    represents the impact of charge-offs and dispositions realized during the period. These charge-offs and dispositions were
    taken on assets that were initially acquired prior to 2008 that were previously impaired for GAAP and reflected in net income
    but not Adjusted Income.
