Commercial Real Estate “A” Participation Interest
 
As of March 31, 2009, the carrying value of the “A” Participation Interest was $1.1 billion in a $4.1 billion pool of commercial real estate loans and related assets.
 
The activity with respect to the “A” Participation Interest for the period from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 was as follows ($ in thousands):
 
         
“A” Participation Interest as of December 31, 2008
  $ 1,396,611  
Principal payments
    (329,662 )
Discount accretion
    11,019  
         
“A” Participation Interest as of March 31, 2009
  $ 1,077,968  
         
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized $17.2 million in interest income on the “A” Participation Interest.
 
The “A” Participation Interest is reported at the outstanding principal balance less the associated discount and the interest is accrued as earned. The discount is accreted into interest income over the estimated life of the instrument using the interest method.
 
The “A” Participation Interest is governed by a participation agreement that is structured to minimize our exposure to credit risk. We have pari passu rights in the underlying loans pursuant to which we receive 70% of all borrower principal repayments from the underlying loans and properties. In addition, under the participation agreement, iStar FM Loans, LLC, the holder of the “B” Participation Interest, assumed all future funding

obligations with respect to the loans underlying the participation agreement. Accordingly, although the holder of the “B” Participation Interest continues to increase its percentage of the overall funding of the underlying loans, we continue to receive 70% of all borrower repayments. Thus, the structure of the “A” Participation Interest accelerates the paydown of the “A” Participation Interest, relative to the paydown of the overall underlying portfolio of assets. This accelerated paydown serves to reduce our exposure to credit risk. Additionally, the “A” Participation Interest is structured so that we do not have loan and property-level risk. We receive payments based on the cash flows of the entire underlying pool of assets and not any one asset in particular. Therefore, we will incur a loss only if the portfolio, as a whole, fails to perform at least to the extent of the “A” Participation Interest balance.
