NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1.   Organization
 
CapitalSource Inc. (“CapitalSource”), a Delaware corporation, is a commercial lending and banking company currently operating as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for 2008, and providing a broad array of financial products to middle market businesses, and, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CapitalSource Bank, providing depository products and services. We primarily provide and invest in the following products:
 
  •  Depository products and services — Savings, money market and certificates of deposit insured up to the maximum amounts permitted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”);
 
  •  First Mortgage Loans — Commercial loans that are secured by first mortgages on the property of the client;
 
  •  Senior Secured Asset-Based Loans — Commercial loans that are underwritten based on our assessment of the client’s eligible collateral, including accounts receivable, real estate related receivables and inventory;
 
  •  Senior Secured Cash Flow Loans — Commercial loans that are underwritten based on our assessment of a client’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to repay the loan and maintain or increase its enterprise value during the term of the loan, thereby facilitating repayment of the principal at maturity;
 
  •  Direct Real Estate Investments — Investments in income-producing healthcare facilities that generally are leased through long-term, triple-net operating leases;
 
  •  Second Lien and Mezzanine Loans — Commercial loans, including subordinated mortgage loans, that come after a client’s senior term loans in right of payment or upon liquidation;
 
  •  Equity Investments — Opportunistic equity investments, typically in conjunction with commercial financing relationships and on the same terms as other equity investors; and
 
  •  Residential Mortgage Investments — Investments in residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage-backed securities and other REIT qualifying investments.
 
We operate as three reportable segments: 1) Commercial Banking, 2) Healthcare Net Lease, and 3) Residential Mortgage Investment. Our Commercial Banking segment comprises our commercial lending and banking business activities; our Healthcare Net Lease segment comprises our direct real estate investment business activities; and our Residential Mortgage Investment segment comprises our residential mortgage investment and other REIT qualifying investment activities.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we presented financial results through two reportable segments: 1) Commercial Lending & Investment and 2) Residential Mortgage Investment. Our Commercial Lending & Investment segment comprised our commercial lending and direct real estate investment business activities and our Residential Mortgage Investment segment comprised all of our activities related to our investments in residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and other REIT qualifying investments. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007, we began presenting financial results through three reportable segments: 1) Commercial Finance, 2) Healthcare Net Lease, and 3) Residential Mortgage Investment. Changes have been made in the way management organizes financial information to make operating decisions, resulting in the activities previously reported in the Commercial Lending & Investment segment being disaggregated into the Commercial Finance segment and the Healthcare Net Lease segment as described above. Beginning in the third quarter of 2008, we changed the name of our Commercial Finance segment to Commercial Banking to incorporate depository products and services of CapitalSource Bank. We have reclassified all comparative prior period segment information to reflect our three reportable segments.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”).
 
The accompanying financial statements reflect our consolidated accounts, including all of our consolidated subsidiaries and the related consolidated results of operations with all intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation.
 
Certain amounts in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Except as discussed below, our accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 included in our Form 10-K. The following accounting policies became significant accounting policies effective January 1, 2008.
 
Interest and Fee Income Recognition on Loans
 
Beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2008, we changed the presentation of interest income on the face of our consolidated statement of income. Interest income is now broken into four categories: loans; mortgage-backed securities, trading; investment securities and other. Interest income on loans include interest on mortgage-related receivables, commercial real estate “A” participation interest (the “A” Participation Interest”), loans held for sale and loans held for investment.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. This statement applies whenever other accounting standards require or permit fair value measurement. We adopted SFAS No. 157, effective January 1, 2008. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants.
 
SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs into valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes observable data from active markets, placing measurements using those inputs in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, and gives the lowest priority to unobservable inputs and classifies these as Level 3 measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described below:
 
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date;
 
Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly; and

CapitalSource Inc.
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
 
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, management’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
 
Note 3.   New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP SFAS 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non financial assets and liabilities, except those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until years beginning after November 15, 2008. Therefore, we have not yet applied the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to items such as indefinite-lived assets and long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, except for items covered by FSP SFAS 157-2, and it did not have a significant effect on fair value measurements in our consolidated financial statements. We have not completed our assessment of the impact of adoption of FSP SFAS 157-2 on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (“FSP SFAS 157-3”). FSP SFAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP SFAS 157-3 is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. We have concluded that our application of SFAS No. 157 in all periods has been consistent with FSP SFAS 157-3, and there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this standard.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits all entities to choose to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value (the “fair value option”). The fair value option may be applied on an instrument by instrument basis, and once elected, the option is irrevocable. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159, but decided not to elect the fair value option for any eligible financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the initial application of SFAS No. 159 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards (“EITF 06-11”), which requires income tax benefits from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and are paid to employees for equity classified nonvested equity shares, nonvested equity share units and outstanding equity share options (“affected securities”) to be recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital and to be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. We adopted EITF 06-11 on January 1, 2008, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141(R) also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The effective date for SFAS No. 141(R) is for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009. We have not

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
completed our assessment of the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also amends certain consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS No. 141(R). The effective date for SFAS No. 160 is the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009. We have not completed our assessment of the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”), which intends to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). It also applies to non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and qualifying as hedges under SFAS No. 133. The effective date of SFAS No. 161 is the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2008. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009. We have not completed our assessment of the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Note 4.   Acquisition
 
On July 25, 2008, we completed the acquisition of approximately $5.2 billion of retail deposits and 22 retail banking branches from Fremont Investment & Loan (“FIL”) and commenced operations of CapitalSource Bank. The results of CapitalSource Bank’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. We also acquired certain systems and other infrastructure necessary for the operation of the retail branch network, $3.3 billion in cash and the “A” Participation Interest. The “A” Participation Interest had an outstanding principal balance of $1.9 billion as of July 25, 2008 and was acquired at a 3% discount to its net book value. The cash purchase price of this acquisition was $105.2 million, excluding estimated transaction costs. We did not acquire FIL, any contingent liabilities or any business operation except FIL’s retail branch network. We intend to fund a majority of our commercial loans through CapitalSource Bank in the future.
 
For purposes of calculating a preliminary purchase price of the acquired retail banking assets and liabilities, we considered the cash purchase price and an estimated $11.8 million of total transactions costs, resulting in an estimated total purchase price of approximately $117.0 million. We do not expect the final determination of the purchase price to be materially different from what is presented herein. Based upon the estimated fair values as of July 25, 2008, the purchase price has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by us in connection with the acquisition as follows ($ in thousands):

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we purchased $1.0 billion in U.S. Treasury securities and $450.0 millions Agency Discount Notes, with maturities of less than 90 days, to meet applicable REIT compliance requirements.
 
Note 7.   Mortgage-Related Receivables and Related Owners Trust Securitizations
 
In February 2006, we purchased beneficial interests in special purpose entities (“SPEs”) that acquired and securitized pools of adjustable rate, prime residential mortgage loans. In accordance with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46(R)”), we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of the SPEs; therefore, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of such entities for financial statement purposes. In so doing, we also determined that the SPEs’ interest in the underlying mortgage loans constituted, for accounting purposes, receivables secured by underlying mortgage loans. As a result, through consolidation, we recorded mortgage-related receivables, as well as the principal amount of related debt obligations incurred by SPEs to fund the origination of these receivables, on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Recourse is limited to our purchased beneficial interests in the respective securitization trusts.
 
Recognized mortgage-related receivables are, in economic substance, mortgage loans. Such mortgage loans are all prime, hybrid adjustable-rate loans. At acquisition by us, mortgage loans that back mortgage-related receivables had a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 73% and a weighted average Fair Isaac & Co. (“FICO”) score of 737.
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the carrying amount of our residential mortgage-related receivables, including accrued interest and the unamortized balance of purchase discounts, was $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the weighted average interest rate on such receivables was 5.37% and 5.38%, respectively, and the weighted average contractual maturity was approximately 27 years and 28 years, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, approximately 95% of recognized mortgage-related receivables were financed with permanent term debt that was recognized by us through the consolidation of the referenced SPEs.
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, mortgage-related receivables, whose underlying mortgage loans are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure were as follows:
 
                 
    September 30,
    December 31,
 
    2008     2007  
    ($ in thousands)  
 
Mortgage-related receivables whose underlying mortgage loans are 90 or more days past due or were in the process of foreclosure(1)

Percentage of mortgage-related receivables
    2.16 %(2)     0.72 %(2)
 
 
(1) Mortgage loans 90 or more days past due are also placed on non-accrual status.
 
(2) By comparison, in their September 2008 Monthly Summary Reports, which reflected up to August 2008 and September 2008 performance, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively, reported single-family delinquency (“SDQ”) rates of 1.57% and 1.27%, respectively. The SDQ rates are based on loans 90 days or more delinquent or in

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
foreclosure as of period end and in addition, the SDQ rate from Freddie Mac includes loans underlying their structured transactions. The comparable August 2008 statistic for mortgage-related receivables was 2.12%.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, total foreclosed assets increased by $1.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the carrying values of the foreclosed assets were $7.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, net of recoveries.
 
In connection with recognized mortgage-related receivables, we recorded provisions for loan losses of $5.0 million and $11.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded provisions for loan losses of $0.4 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we charged off $3.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, net of recoveries, of these mortgage-related receivables. No such amounts were charged off during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The allowance for loan losses was $7.8 million and $0.8 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and was recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a reduction to the carrying value of mortgage-related receivables.
 
Note 8.   Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities and Certain Derivative Instruments
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we owned mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (hereinafter, “Agency MBS”) with a face value of $1.5 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, that were pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements used to finance the acquisition of these investments. The weighted average net coupon of Agency MBS in our portfolio was 5.02% and 5.07%, as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the fair values of Agency MBS, including accrued interest, in our portfolio were $1.5 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized $18.5 million and $11.0 million of net realized and unrealized losses, respectively, related to these investments as a component of loss on residential mortgage investment portfolio in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized $33.7 million and $9.4 million of unrealized gains, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we sold Agency MBS with a face value of $2.1 billion. We did not sell any Agency MBS during the three months ended September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we realized gains of $21.4 million related to these sales as a component of loss on residential mortgage investment portfolio in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. We did not recognize any gain (loss) on residential mortgage investment portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we also unwound derivatives related to the sold Agency MBS.
 
We use various derivative instruments to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the mortgage investments in our portfolio with the risk management objective to maintain approximately a zero, net duration position. We account for these derivative instruments pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133 and, as such, adjust these instruments to fair value through income as a component of loss on residential mortgage investment portfolio in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized net realized and unrealized losses of $7.1 million and $58.2 million, respectively, related to these derivative instruments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized net realized and unrealized losses of $54.1 million and $36.0 million, respectively, related to these derivative instruments. These amounts include interest-related accruals that we recognize in connection with the periodic settlement of these instruments.
 
Note 9.   Commercial Lending Assets and Credit Quality
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our total commercial loan portfolio had outstanding balances of $11.1 billion and $9.9 billion, respectively. Included in these amounts were the “A” Participation Interest, loans held for sale, loans, and $63.6 million and $56.3 million of related interest receivables as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, (collectively, “Commercial Lending Assets”). Our loans held for sale were recorded at the lower of cost or fair value on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

CapitalSource Inc.
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we transferred $73.6 million of loans held for sale back to the loan portfolio based upon our intent and ability to retain the loans for investment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized net losses on the sale of loans of $27,000 and net gains of $2.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized net gains on the sale of loans of $1.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively.
 
On July 25, 2008, CapitalSource Bank also purchased approximately $2.1 billion in commercial loans from us. We used the loan sale proceeds to reduce our credit facility borrowings and certain securitizations by approximately $1.7 billion. We used the remaining approximately $500 million to fund a portion of the initial CapitalSource Bank capitalization of $921.0 million.
 
Commercial Real Estate “A” Participation Interest
 
As discussed in Note 4, Acquisition, on July 25, 2008, we acquired the “A” Participation Interest, which at the date of acquisition was a $1.9 billion interest in a $4.8 billion pool of commercial real estate loans. On the date of acquisition, we recorded the “A” Participation Interest at its estimated fair value of $1.8 billion, a $63.1 million discount to the underlying principal balance of the instrument.
 
The activity with respect to the “A” Participation Interest for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was as follows ($ in thousands):
 
         
“A” Participation Interest as of July 25, 2008
  $ 1,820,638

Discount accretion
    12,694  
         
“A” Participation Interest as of September 30, 2008
  $ 1,626,602  
         
 
During the period from July 25, 2008 to September 30, 2008, we recognized $26.1 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 interest is accrued as earned. The fair value 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 to all borrower repayments from the underlying loans. These rights include all borrower repayments of fundings on commitments assumed by iStar FM Loans LLC at inception of the “A” Participation Interest. 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. 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-level risk. We receive payments based on the cash flows of the entire underlying pool of loans and not any one loan 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.

As of December 31, 2007, there were no non-performing loans classified as held for sale.
 
(2) Includes commercial loans with aggregate principal balances of $174.9 million and $55.5 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, which were also classified as loans 60 or more days contractually delinquent, and commercial loans with aggregate principal balances of $249.4 million and $170.5 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, which were also classified as loans on non-accrual status. The carrying values of impaired commercial loans were $697.4 million and $311.6 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, prior to the application of allocated reserves.
 
Consistent with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (“SFAS No. 114”), we consider a loan to be impaired when, based on current information, we determine that it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. In this regard, impaired loans include loans for which we expect to encounter a significant delay in the collection of, and/or shortfall in the amount of contractual payments due to us, as well as loans that we have assessed as impaired, but for which we ultimately expect to collect all payments. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $210.7 million and $119.7 million of impaired commercial loans, respectively, with allocated reserves of $33.9 million and $27.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $491.9 million and $199.2 million, respectively, of commercial loans that we assessed as impaired and for which we did not record any allocated reserves based upon our belief that it is probable that we ultimately will collect all principal and interest amounts due.
 
As of September 30, 2008, no allowance for loan losses was deemed necessary with respect to the “A” Participation Interest.
 
The average balances of impaired commercial loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $581.2 million and $457.3 million, respectively, and was $346.7 million and $310.4 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The total amounts of interest income that we recognized on impaired commercial loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $9.4 million and $22.9 million, respectively, and was $8.1 million $15.2 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The amounts of cash basis interest income that we recognized on impaired commercial loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $7.8 million and $15.9 million, respectively, and was $6.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. If the non-accrual commercial loans had performed in accordance with their original terms, interest income would have been increased by $12.8 million and $31.8 million for the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2008, respectively, and $7.5 million and $21.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, commercial loans with an aggregate carrying value of $288.3 million and $376.8 million, respectively, as of their respective restructuring date, were involved in troubled debt restructurings as defined by SFAS No. 15, Accounting for Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings. As of September 30, 2008, commercial loans with an aggregate carrying value of $391.0 million were involved in troubled debt restructurings. Additionally, under SFAS No. 114, loans involved in troubled debt restructurings are also assessed as impaired, generally for a period of at least one year following the restructuring. The allocated reserve for commercial loans that were involved in troubled debt restructurings was $16.2 million as of September 30, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2007, commercial loans with an aggregate carrying value of $235.5 million as of their respective restructuring date, were involved in troubled debt restructurings. The allocated reserve for commercial loans that were involved in troubled debt restructurings was $23.1 million as of December 31, 2007.

Our credit facilities and one of our term debt securitizations contain covenants with respect to the amount of our delinquent loans. An increase in the amount of delinquent loans as a result of economic conditions or otherwise could result in the occurrence of an event of default under such facilities, which, among other things, could result in servicing being transferred to another servicer, payment of all amounts payable under such facilities being accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments thereunder being terminated. A default under our credit facilities or term debt could trigger cross default provisions in our other debt facilities.
 
Foreclosed Assets
 
When we foreclose on assets that collateralized a loan, we record the assets at their estimated fair value at the time of foreclosure. Upon foreclosure and through liquidation, we evaluate the asset’s fair value as compared to its carrying amount and record a valuation adjustment when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. We estimate fair value at the asset’s liquidation value, based on market conditions, less estimated costs to sell such asset.
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $59.0 million and $19.8 million, respectively, of real estate owned (“REO”), which was recorded as other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we sold $1.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of our REO and recognized gains of $45,000 and $0.4 million, respectively, as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying statement of income. We did not sell any of our REO during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded other-than-temporary impairments of $7.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively, relating to our REO as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded other-than-temporary impairments of $0.7 million, relating to our REO as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we foreclosed on assets that collateralized loans that had a book value of $61.3 million. Based on our intent to hold and use these assets, we recorded them at their estimated fair value of $54.8 million and charged off $6.5 million against our allowance for loan losses.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized total interest expense of $14.8 million and $68.1 million on short-term borrowings and $133.5 million and $429.2 million on long-term borrowings, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized total interest expense of $63.1 million and $167.3 million on short-term borrowings and $169.7 million and $452.4 million on long-term borrowings, respectively.
 
The following changes to our borrowings occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2008:
 
Repurchase Agreements
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we entered into three new master repurchase agreements and borrowed under our existing repurchase agreements with various financial institutions to finance the purchase of RMBS, Agency Discount Notes and U.S. Treasury securities. One of our new master repurchase agreements was a facility with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., to finance the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities that had a maximum facility amount of $1.0 billion for September and October 2008. As of September 30, 2008, we had borrowed the full facility amount of $1.0 billion. The facility also provides for a maximum facility amount of $1.5 billion for December 2008 and January 2009 to finance the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had borrowings outstanding under seven master repurchase agreements with various financial institutions to finance the purchases of RMBS, Agency Discount Notes and U.S. Treasury securities. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the aggregate amounts outstanding under such repurchase agreements were $2.9 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these repurchase agreements had weighted average borrowing rates of 2.15% and 5.12%, respectively, and weighted average remaining maturities of 0.6 months and 2.5 months, respectively. The terms of most of our borrowings pursuant to these repurchase agreements typically reset every 30 days. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these repurchase agreements were collateralized by Agency MBS, Agency Discount Notes and U.S. Treasury securities with a fair value of $3.0 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, including accrued interest, and cash deposits of $25.2 million and $29.2 million, respectively, made to cover margin calls.

Credit Facilities
 
We utilize both secured and unsecured credit facilities to fund our commercial loans, finance certain of our direct real estate investments and for general corporate purposes. Our committed credit facility capacities were $2.7 billion and $5.6 billion as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
In February 2008, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of our $1.07 billion unsecured credit facility from March 13, 2009 to March 13, 2010. On June 26, 2008, we amended this facility to provide us with additional flexibility to operate our business following our acquisition of 22 retail banking branches and certain assets from FIL and the restructuring of our healthcare net lease business. The amendment increased pricing on borrowings, based on our current senior unsecured debt rating, by 1.875% to 3.0% over LIBOR or 1.5% over the applicable base rate and modified certain financial covenants.
 
In April 2008, we renewed our CSE QRS Funding I secured credit facility at a commitment amount of $1.0 billion. The interest rate was increased from the applicable Commercial Paper (“CP”) rate or LIBOR + 0.75% to the applicable CP rate or LIBOR + 2.0% and the unused line and renewal fees increased in accordance with prevailing market conditions. Following the sale of loan assets to CapitalSource Bank in July 2008, we reduced the commitment amount on this facility to $815.0 million.
 
In May 2008, we entered into a revised CS Funding VII secured credit facility at a commitment amount of $1.0 billion. The interest rate under this facility as compared to the credit facility that it replaced was increased from one month LIBOR plus 0.90% to the applicable CP rate plus 2.25% and the maturity date was extended to March 31, 2009. Following the sale of loan assets to CapitalSource Bank in July 2008, we reduced the commitment amount on this facility by $600.0 million to $400.0 million and in August 2008, we further reduced the commitment amount by $115.0 million to $285.0 million. We are not required to make any further reductions.
 
In May 2008, in connection with consummation of the CS Funding VII secured credit facility described above, we fully repaid all amounts outstanding under our $1.5 billion secured, revolving credit facility with Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., which was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2008, and we terminated that facility.
 
As a result of the $600 million voluntary commitment reduction in our CS Funding VII secured credit facility described above, the formation of CapitalSource Bank, and our intercompany sale of loans to CapitalSource Bank, we reduced the maximum commitment amounts and outstanding balances under our 2007-A term debt securitization and CS Funding VII and CSE QRS Funding II credit facilities below the aggregate commitment and aggregate borrowing limits and are not required to make any further reductions. In August 2008, we terminated our CSE QRS Funding II secured credit facility and fully repaid the outstanding principal balance.
 
In September 2008, we amended our CS Europe credit facility to reduce the commitment by €50.0 million to €200.0 million. The interest rate was increased from EURIBOR + 1.0% to EURIBOR + 2.5% and the facility maturity date was amended to September 23, 2009.
 
Our CAD $75.1 million unsecured credit facility and our $200.0 million secured credit facility matured as scheduled in February and March 2008, respectively.
 
Term Debt
 
In January and July 2008, respectively, we repaid all amounts outstanding under our series 2004-1 Term Debt notes and 2007-3 Term Debt notes.
 
In May 2008, we amended our 2007-A term debt securitization. The interest payable on the sold notes under the term securitization was increased to 2.25% above the applicable CP rate. In conjunction with our intercompany sale of loans to CapitalSource Bank in July 2008, we reduced the balance of this debt by $448.0 million. We are not required to make any further reductions.

Subordinated Debt
 
In June 2008, we purchased all of the $37.5 million of preferred securities issued under one of our trust preferred series at a discount from liquidation value and terminated the trust. We realized a pre-tax gain of $14.3 million from this purchase and resulting extinguishment of the related debt, which has been recorded as a component of other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
In June 2008, we also purchased $44.3 million of preferred securities from various issuances at discounts from liquidation value. All of the preferred securities purchased were exchanged for $45.7 million of the related subordinated debt which, in turn, was retired as of July 30, 2008. We realized a gain of approximately $14.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008, which has been recorded as a component other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
In August 2008, we purchased an additional $5.0 million of preferred securities and will extinguish the related debt at the next applicable distribution date, recognizing a gain of $1.4 million.
 
Single Purpose Loan Financing
 
In May 2008, we purchased subordinated notes of a SPE to which one of our other wholly owned indirect subsidiaries provided advisory services. In accordance with FIN 46(R), we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of the SPE. As a result, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of the SPE for financial reporting purposes, including commercial loans with a principal balance of $236.2 million and a fair value of $205.8 million and a related debt facility of $187.1 million. In connection with this transaction, we paid $13.3 million to a third-party warehouse lender to settle a limited guarantee we had provided under which we agreed to assume a portion of net losses realized by the loans held by the SPE up to a specific loss limit. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we sold $162.9 million of these loans to third parties using the proceeds to repay the principal balance on the facility. The balance of the facility was fully repaid and terminated in July 2008.

On May 1, 2008, our shareholders voted to amend our charter to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 1.2 billion.
 
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
 
We offer a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) to current and prospective shareholders. Participation in the DRIP allows common shareholders to reinvest cash dividends and to purchase additional shares of our common stock, in some cases at a discount from the market price. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we did not sell any shares under the direct purchase features of the DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received $198.2 million related to the direct purchase of 15.4 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we received $251.0 million and $437.7 million, respectively, related to the direct purchase of 14.2 million and 21.7 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP, respectively. In addition, we received proceeds of $2.6 million and $38.4 million related to cash dividends reinvested in 0.2 million and 3.6 million shares of our common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. We received proceeds of $40.3 million and $69.8 million related to the cash dividends reinvested for 2.1 million and 3.3 million shares of our common stock, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
 
Equity Offering
 
In June 2008, we sold 34.5 million shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $11.00 per share, including the 4.5 million shares purchased by the underwriters pursuant to their over-allotment option. In connection with this offering, we received net proceeds of $365.8 million, which were used to repay borrowings under our secured credit facilities.
 
Note 16.   Income Taxes
 
We elected REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) when we filed our federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2006. On October 30, 2008, we announced our decision to revoke our REIT election in 2009. We intend to maintain REIT status through 2008 but will not be in a REIT next year.
 
To continue to qualify as a REIT for 2008, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code, through actual operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. While a REIT, we generally are not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed to our shareholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are, however, subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings we derive from our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year for which we have elected REIT status, all of our taxable income for that year would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. In addition, we would be disqualified from being taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless we were entitled to relief

under specific statutory provisions. While a REIT, we will still be subject to foreign, state and local taxation in various foreign, state and local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or reside.
 
As certain of our subsidiaries are TRSs, while we are a REIT we will continue to report a provision for income taxes within our consolidated financial statements. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the change.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded $0.1 million and $40.4 million of income tax expense, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded $11.6 million and $60.3 million of income tax expense, respectively. Our effective income tax rate on our consolidated net income was 35.0% and 24.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
We file income tax returns with the United States and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions and generally remain subject to examinations by some of these tax jurisdictions for tax years 2003 forward. In June 2008, we settled an Internal Revenue Service examination for the tax years 2004 and 2005 and concluded certain state examinations of tax years 2003 to 2005. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we benefited from a reduced assessment of $0.4 million of interest expense and $0.4 million of taxes based primarily on final state settlements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred interest expense of $1.6 million and $2.4 million of additional tax in connection with the settlement and conclusion of these examinations. We are currently under examination by certain states for the tax years 2004 and 2005, and we have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that we will be audited for tax years 2006 and 2007.

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we began applying the if-converted method to determine the effect on diluted net income per share of shares issuable pursuant to convertible debt as we are no longer assuming cash settlement of the underlying principal. For the periods prior to the three months ended September 30, 2008, we used the treasury stock method to determine the effect on diluted income per share of shares issuable pursuant to the conversion premium of convertible debt. See Note 25, Subsequent Events, and Note 11, Borrowings, of our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007, included in our Form 10-K, for further information on convertible debt.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the conversion premium on the 7.25% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures (the “7.25% Debentures”) was considered to be antidilutive based on the conversion price. As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, the conversion price of the 7.25% Debentures was $27.09. The conversion price related to the 7.25% Debentures will be adjusted only if we pay quarterly dividends on our common stock greater than $0.60 per share. Also, we have excluded the shares underlying the principal balance of the 7.25% Debentures for all periods presented.
 
Note 19.   Stock-Based Compensation
 
We issued stock-based compensation under our Third Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A total of 33.0 million shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any shares that may be issued under the Plan to any person pursuant to an option or stock appreciation right (an “SAR”) are counted against this limit as one share for every one share granted. Any shares that may be issued under the Plan to any person, other than pursuant to an option or SAR, are counted against this limit as one and one-half shares for every one share granted. As of September 30, 2008, there were 13.1 million shares subject to outstanding grants and 9.2 million shares remaining available for future grants under the Plan. Total compensation costs recognized in income pursuant to the Plan were $9.7 million and $27.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, and $11.3 million and $31.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $2.73. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $0.5 million. As of September 30, 2008, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options granted pursuant to the Plan was $2.7 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.72 years.
 
The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $13.71. The total fair value of restricted stock that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $28.3 million. As of September 30, 2008, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock granted pursuant to the Plan was $44.5 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.73 years.

Note 20.   Bank Regulation
 
CapitalSource Bank operates and is chartered as an industrial bank in the State of California and is subject to supervision and regulation by the California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) and the FDIC. CapitalSource Bank operates in accordance with conditions imposed by the DFI and FDIC in connection with regulatory approvals obtained in connection with its establishment. This regulatory structure gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. The conditions in the regulatory approvals include, among others, requirements that CapitalSource Bank maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 15% and, like many other de novo banks, not pay any dividends for its first three years of operations without prior approval of its regulators.
 
The DFI and FDIC also have extensive enforcement authority over the banks they supervise, including CapitalSource Bank. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and initiate injunctive actions. In general, enforcement actions may be initiated for or based upon violations of laws and regulations, unsafe or unsound practices and other actions or inaction, including misleading or untimely reports. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the FDIC or DFI is required.
 
In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of CapitalSource Bank is prescribed by California laws and it is prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by these laws. Under California law, industrial banks may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus, although additional amounts may be lent up to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus if secured by specified readily marketable collateral. As of September 30, 2008, CapitalSource Bank’s limit on loans to one borrower was $140 million if unsecured and $233 million if secured by collateral and its largest loan commitment to a single borrowing entity was $135 million.
 
CapitalSource Bank must meet minimum capital requirements and specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. CapitalSource Bank’s capital amounts, ability to pay dividends and other requirements and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
 
We and our wholly owned subsidiaries, CapitalSource TRS Inc. (“TRS”) and CapitalSource Finance LLC (“CSF” and together with CapitalSource and TRS, the “Parent Companies”), and CapitalSource Bank entered into a Capital Maintenance and Liquidity Agreement (“CMLA”) with the FDIC requiring the Parent Companies to maintain CapitalSource Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at not less than 15%, to maintain the capital levels of CapitalSource Bank at all times to meet the levels required for a bank to be considered “well capitalized” under the relevant banking regulations, and for CapitalSource and CSF to provide a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility that CapitalSource Bank may draw on at any time it or the FDIC deems necessary. The Parent Companies and CapitalSource Bank also entered into a Parent Company Agreement with the FDIC requiring the Parent Companies to maintain the capital levels of CapitalSource Bank at the levels required in the CMLA, and providing the Parent Companies’ consent to examination by the FDIC in order for the FDIC to monitor compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to CapitalSource and its affiliates.

Note 21.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had issued $166.4 million in letters of credit which expire at various dates over the next six years. If a borrower defaults on its commitment(s) subject to any letter of credit issued under these arrangements, we would be responsible to meet the borrower’s financial obligation and would seek repayment of that financial obligation from the borrower. These arrangements qualify as a financial guarantee in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. As a result, we included the fair value of these obligations, totaling $5.6 million, in other liabilities on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008.
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had unfunded commitments to extend credit to our clients of $3.9 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. Commitments do not include transactions for which we have signed commitment letters but not yet signed definitive binding agreements. We expect that our commercial loan commitments outside of CapitalSource Bank will continue to exceed our available funds for the foreseeable future. Our obligation to fund unfunded commitments is generally based on our clients’ ability to provide additional collateral to secure the requested additional fundings, the additional collateral’s satisfaction of eligibility requirements and our clients’ ability to meet specified preconditions to borrowing. In some cases, our unfunded commitments do not require additional collateral to be provided by a borrower as a prerequisite to future fundings by us or additional funding under these commitments is at our discretion.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had identified conditional asset retirement obligations primarily related to the future removal and disposal of asbestos that is contained within certain of our direct real estate investment properties. The asbestos is appropriately contained and we believe we are compliant with current environmental regulations. If these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished, certain environmental regulations are in place, which specify the manner in which asbestos must be handled and disposed. Under FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations — An Interpretation of FASB No. 143, we are required to record the fair value of these conditional liabilities if they can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2008, sufficient information was not available to estimate our liability for conditional asset retirement obligations as the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable

settlement dates. As such, no liability for conditional asset retirement obligations was recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008.
 
From time to time we are party to legal proceedings. We do not believe that any currently pending or threatened proceeding, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including our cash flows.
 
Note 22.   Derivative Instruments
 
In addition to the derivatives related to our residential mortgage investments discussed in Note 8, Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities and Certain Derivative Instruments, we have also entered into various derivative instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risk in our Commercial Banking segment. We account for these derivative instruments pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133 and, as such, adjust these instruments to fair value through income as a component of gain (loss) on derivatives in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized net realized and unrealized gains of $2.7 million and net realized and unrealized losses $20.4 million, respectively, related to these derivative instruments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized net realized and unrealized losses of $15.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively, related to these derivative instruments. As of September 30, 2008, our commercial derivative activities resulted in an asset position of $16.2 million, which is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as other assets and a liability position of $56.3 million, which is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as other liabilities. As of December 31, 2007, our commercial derivative activities resulted in an asset position of $37.8 million, which is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as other assets and a liability position of $73.9 million, which is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as other liabilities.
 
Note 23.   Fair Value Measurements
 
As previously discussed in Note 3, New Accounting Pronouncements, we adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008.
 
Fair Value Determination
 
Fair value is based on quoted market prices or by using market based inputs where available. Given the nature of some of our assets and liabilities, clearly determinable market based valuation inputs are often not available; therefore, these assets and liabilities are valued using internal estimates. As subjectivity exists with respect to many of our valuation estimates used, the fair values we have disclosed may not equal prices that we may ultimately realize if the assets are sold or the liabilities settled with third parties.
 
Below is a description of the valuation methods for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. While we believe the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the measurement date.
 
Assets and Liabilities
 
Marketable Securities
 
Marketable securities consist of Agency Discount Notes and Agency Callable Notes that are carried at fair value and classified as available for sale securities under SFAS No. 115, Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“SFAS No. 115”). The securities are valued using quoted prices from external market participants, including pricing services.
 
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities
 
Residential mortgage related securities are carried at fair value. Agency MBS are classified as trading and Non-Agency MBS are classified as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115. Where possible, these securities are valued using quoted prices from external market participants, including pricing services. If quoted prices are not


37


 

 
CapitalSource Inc.
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
available, the values are determined using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or internal pricing models inclusive of assumptions related to prepayment speeds and credit losses. Level 2 securities relate principally to Agency MBS, and Level 3 securities relate principally to Non-Agency MBS for which there was no active market as of September 30, 2008.
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using actual market transactions when available. In situations when market transactions are not available, we use the income approach through internally developed valuation models to estimate the fair value. This requires the use of significant judgment surrounding discount rates and the timing and amounts of future cash flows. Key inputs to these valuations include costs of completion and unit settlement prices for the underlying collateral of the loans. Fair values determined through actual market transactions are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy while fair values determined through internally developed valuation models are classified within Level 3.
 
Investments
 
Investments carried at fair value on a recurring basis include debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115. Debt securities are primarily corporate bonds whose values are determined using data obtained from external market participants, including pricing services. Equity securities are valued using the stock price of the underlying company in which we hold our investment. Given the lack of active and observable trading in the market, our debt securities are classified in Level 3. Our equity securities are classified in Level 1 or 2 depending on the level of activity within the market.
 
Investments carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis represent equity investments accounted for under the cost or equity methods of accounting pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. There is no observable price for such equity investments. We impair these investments to fair value when we have determined that other-than-temporary impairment exists. Given there is no market for these investments, we determine fair value using internally developed models. Our models utilize industry valuation benchmarks, such as multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) generally ranging from three to ten times, depending on the industry, to determine a value for the underlying enterprise. We reduce this value by debt outstanding to arrive at an estimated equity value of the enterprise. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the pricing indicated by the external event will be used to corroborate our private equity valuation. Where these investments have been measured to fair value, we typically classify them in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Warrants
 
Warrants carried at fair value generally relate to private companies. Warrants for private companies are valued based on the estimated value of the underlying enterprise principally using a multiple determined either from comparable public company data or from the transaction where we acquired the warrant and a financial performance indicator based on EBITDA or another revenue measure. Given the nature of the inputs used to value private company warrants, they are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
 
Derivatives relate principally to interest rate swaps, caps, floors, basis swaps and forward exchange contracts which we enter into to manage interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. Our derivatives are principally traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available and instead are measured where possible, using market observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves, volatilities and basis spreads. Accordingly, we typically classify our derivatives in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We also consider counterparty credit risk in valuing our derivatives.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Loans Held for Investment
 
Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 114, we may utilize the fair value of collateral as a practical expedient to establish a specific reserve for those loans that are collateral dependent and for which we have determined a specific reserve is necessary. To determine the fair value of the collateral, we may employ different approaches depending on the type of collateral. Typically, we determine the fair value of the collateral using internally developed models. Our models utilize industry valuation benchmarks, such as multiples of EBITDA ranging from three to ten times, depending on the industry, to determine a value for the underlying enterprise. In certain cases where our collateral is a fixed or other tangible asset, we will periodically obtain a third party appraisal. Where these assets have been measured to fair value, we typically classify them in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Assets and Liabilities Carried at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
 
Assets and liabilities have been grouped in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as required by SFAS No. 157.

Note 24.   Segment Data
 
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments including a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and segment assets. We operate as three reportable segments: 1) Commercial Banking, 2) Healthcare Net Lease, and 3) Residential Mortgage Investment. Our Commercial Banking segment comprises our commercial lending and banking business activities; our Healthcare Net Lease segment comprises our direct real estate investment business activities; and our Residential Mortgage Investment segment comprises our residential mortgage investment and other REIT qualifying activities.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we presented financial results through two reportable segments: 1) Commercial Lending & Investment and 2) Residential Mortgage Investment. Our Commercial Lending & Investment segment comprised our commercial lending and direct real estate investment business activities and our Residential Mortgage Investment segment comprised all of our activities related to our investments in residential mortgage loans, RMBS and other REIT qualifying investments. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007, we began presenting financial results through three reportable segments: 1) Commercial Finance, 2) Healthcare Net Lease, and 3) Residential Mortgage Investment. Changes have been made in the way management organizes financial information to make operating decisions, resulting in the activities previously reported in the Commercial Lending & Investment segment being disaggregated into the Commercial Finance segment and the Healthcare Net Lease segment as described above. Beginning in the third quarter of 2008, we changed the name of our Commercial Finance segment to Commercial Banking to incorporate the depository products and services of CapitalSource Bank. We have reclassified all comparative prior period segment information to reflect our three reportable segments.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
 
The accounting policies of each of the individual operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Currently, substantially all of our business activities occur within the United States of America; therefore, no additional geographic disclosures are necessary.
 
Note 25.   Subsequent Events
 
On October 20, 2008, we entered into an agreement with one of our existing securityholders, pursuant to which we issued 6,224,392 shares of our common stock in exchange for approximately $45.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 1.25% and 1.625% senior and senior subordinated convertible debentures due 2034 held by the securityholder. We retired all of the debentures we acquired in the exchange. In connection with this conversion, and pursuant to the provision of SFAS No. 84, Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 26, we incurred a loss of approximately $29.7 million, which includes a write off of $1.4 million in deferred financing fees and beneficial conversion premium.
 
On October 30, 2008, we announced our decision to revoke our REIT election in 2009. We intend to maintain REIT status through 2008, but will not be a REIT next year. As a result of this decision, we intend to sell our residential mortgage investment portfolio in early 2009.

Overview and Highlights
 
We are a commercial lending and banking company focused on the middle market. We currently operate and intend to continue to operate through December 31, 2008, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and provide a broad array of financial products to middle market businesses, and, through our wholly owned subsidiary, CapitalSource Bank, provide depository products and services.
 
We operate as three reportable segments: 1) Commercial Banking, 2) Healthcare Net Lease, and 3) Residential Mortgage Investment. Our Commercial Banking segment comprises our commercial lending and banking business


45


 

activities; our Healthcare Net Lease segment comprises our direct real estate investment business activities; and our Residential Mortgage Investment segment comprises our residential mortgage investment and other REIT qualifying investment activities. For financial information about our segments, see Note 24, Segment Data, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Through our Commercial Banking segment activities, our primary goal is to be the leading provider of financing to middle market businesses that require customized and sophisticated financing. We provide a wide range of financial products that we negotiate and structure on a client-specific basis through direct interaction with the owners and senior managers of our clients. We also originate and participate in broadly syndicated debt financings for larger businesses. We seek to add value to our clients’ businesses by providing tailored financing that meets their specific business needs and objectives. As of September 30, 2008, we had 1,085 loans outstanding under which we had funded an aggregate of $9.4 billion and committed to lend up to an additional $3.9 billion. Commitments do not include transactions for which we have signed commitment letters but not yet signed definitive binding agreements. Within this segment, we also offer depository products and services that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the maximum amounts permitted by regulation.
 
Through our Healthcare Net Lease segment activities, we invest in income-producing healthcare-related facilities, principally skilled nursing facilities located in the United States. As of September 30, 2008, we had $998.8 million in direct real estate investments comprised of 186 healthcare-related facilities that were leased to 40 tenants through long-term, triple-net operating leases.
 
Through our Residential Mortgage Investment segment activities, we currently invest in certain residential mortgage assets to optimize our REIT structure through the end of 2008. As of September 30, 2008, our residential mortgage investment portfolio totaled $4.9 billion, which included investments in residential mortgage loans and residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”). Over 99% of our investments in RMBS are represented by mortgage-backed securities that were issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (hereinafter, “Agency MBS”). In addition, we hold mortgage-related receivables secured by prime residential mortgage loans.
 
In our Commercial Banking, and Healthcare Net Lease segments, the financing needs of our clients are often specific to their particular business or situation. We believe we can most successfully meet these needs and manage risk through industry or sector expertise and flexibility in structuring financings. We offer a range of depository products and services, senior and subordinate mortgage loans, real estate lease financing, asset-based loans, cash flow loans and equity investments to our clients. Because we believe specialized industry and/or sector knowledge is important to successfully serve our client base, we originate, underwrite and manage our financings through three focused commercial financing businesses organized around our areas of expertise. Focusing our efforts in these specific sectors, industries and markets allows us to rapidly design and implement products that satisfy the special financing needs of our clients.
 
These three primary commercial lending businesses are:
 
  •  Corporate Finance, which generally provides senior and subordinate loans through direct origination and participation in widely syndicated loan transactions;
 
  •  Healthcare and Specialty Finance, which, including our Healthcare Net Lease segment activities, generally provides first mortgage loans, asset-based revolving lines of credit, and other cash flow loans to healthcare businesses and a broad range of other companies and makes investments in income-producing healthcare facilities, particularly long-term care facilities; and
 
  •  Structured Finance, which generally engages in commercial and residential real estate finance and also provides asset-based lending to finance companies.
 
Through CapitalSource Bank, a California industrial bank, we also provide depository products and services.
 
Although we have made loans as large as $375.0 million, our average commercial loan size was $8.7 million as of September 30, 2008, and our average loan exposure by client was $13.8 million as of September 30, 2008. Our commercial loans generally have a maturity of one to five years with a weighted average maturity of three years as of September 30, 2008. Substantially all of our commercial loans require monthly interest payments at variable rates and, in many cases, our commercial loans provide for interest rate floors that help us maintain our yields when


46


 

interest rates are low or declining. We price our loans based upon the risk profile of our clients. As of September 30, 2008, our geographically diverse client base consisted of 684 clients with headquarters in 48 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and select international locations, primarily in Canada and Europe.
 
Deposit Based Funding
 
Maintaining broad and diverse funding sources has been a key to our funding strategy since inception. We had previously identified obtaining deposit based funding as an attractive method of further broadening and diversifying our funding.
 
On July 25, 2008, we completed the acquisition of approximately $5.2 billion of retail deposits and 22 retail banking branches from Fremont Investment & Loan (“FIL”) and commenced operations of CapitalSource Bank, our new wholly owned subsidiary. We also acquired certain systems and other infrastructure necessary for the operation of the retail branch network, $3.3 billion in cash and short-term investments and a participation in a pool of commercial real estate loans, the “A” Participation Interest. The “A” Participation Interest had an outstanding principal balance of $1.9 billion as of July 25, 2008 and was acquired at a 3% discount to its net book value. The purchase price of this acquisition was $117.0 million. We did not acquire FIL, any contingent liabilities or any business operations except FIL’s retail branch network. We intend to fund a majority of our commercial loans through CapitalSource Bank in the future.
 
On July 25, 2008, CapitalSource Bank also purchased from us approximately $2.1 billion in commercial loans. We used the sale proceeds to reduce our credit facility borrowings and certain securitizations by approximately $1.7 billion. We used the remaining approximately $500 million to fund a portion of the initial CapitalSource Bank capitalization of $921.0 million.
 
We received approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the California Department of Financial Institutions to consummate these transactions, in each case subject to the conditions set forth in their respective regulatory approvals. These conditions include, among others, requirements that CapitalSource Bank maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 15% and an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses and, like many other de novo banks, not pay any dividends for its first three years of operations without prior approval of its regulators.
 
We and our wholly owned subsidiaries, CapitalSource TRS Inc. (“CS TRS”) and CapitalSource Finance LLC (“CSF” and together with CapitalSource and CS TRS, the “Parent Companies”), and CapitalSource Bank entered into a Capital Maintenance and Liquidity Agreement (“CMLA”) with the FDIC requiring the Parent Companies to maintain CapitalSource Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at not less than 15%, to maintain the capital levels of CapitalSource Bank at all times to meet the levels required for a bank to be considered “well capitalized” under the relevant banking regulations, and for CapitalSource and CSF to provide a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility that CapitalSource Bank may draw on at any time it or the FDIC deems necessary. The Parent Companies and CapitalSource Bank also entered into a Parent Company Agreement (“Parent Agreement”) with the FDIC requiring the Parent Companies to maintain the capital levels of CapitalSource Bank at the levels required in the CMLA, and providing the Parent Companies’ consent to examination by the FDIC in order for the FDIC to monitor compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to CapitalSource and its affiliates.
 
CapitalSource Bank has access to a significant base of deposits which we believe positions us to grow by diversifying and strengthening our funding platform by providing a lower and more stable cost of funds with less reliance on the capital markets, allowing us to take advantage of the attractive lending opportunities we believe are now available in the market. We expect CapitalSource Bank to enhance our liquidity profile, increase our profitability and improve our capital efficiency.
 
Consistent with our FDIC approved business plan, we are also pursuing our strategy of converting to a commercial bank and becoming a bank holding company. We have achieved the first step in the process with the State of California approval of our commercial bank charter application. Subsequent approvals are required and currently pending with the FDIC and the Federal Reserve. We expect that becoming a commercial bank will allow CapitalSource Bank to offer a wider variety of deposit products and services to customers.

CapitalSource Healthcare REIT
 
On July 15, 2008, we announced a planned initial public offering for our wholly owned subsidiary, CapitalSource Healthcare REIT. On August 6, 2008, a registration statement on Form S-11 was filed for the initial public offering which has not become effective and on October 15, 2008, we announced that we have delayed our plans to conduct the initial public offering due to market volatility. We intend to evaluate alternatives, including an initial public offering, to grow our healthcare net lease business and realize its value. Our plan to revoke our REIT election in 2009 does not preclude any transaction with respect to our healthcare net lease business. Consequently, use continue to own and operate 100% of our healthcare net lease business pending completion of a transaction offering. We may not be able to consummate a transaction on favorable terms or at all.
 
REIT Status
 
On October 30, 2008, we announced our decision to revoke our REIT election in 2009. We intend to maintain REIT status through 2008, but will not be a REIT next year. Historically, we have complied with REIT requirements in part through the acquisition, funding and ongoing management of a portfolio of residential mortgage-related investments including Agency securities. Our Board of Directors determined it would be imprudent and perhaps impossible to maintain a large compliance portfolio of residential investment assets in 2009 based on conditions currently in the markets and conditions anticipated next year.
 
Dividend Policy
 
On September 30, 2008, we paid a $0.05 per share dividend, to our shareholders of record on September 17, 2008. We expect to retain a majority of our earnings, consistent with dividend policies of other commercial depository institutions, to redeploy in what we believe to be attractive lending opportunities, subject to satisfying our minimum distribution requirements to qualify as a REIT for 2008. We intend to continue paying dividends on our common shares at similar rates in the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009 in accordance with this policy. If we need to distribute additional income to satisfy our minimum distribution requirements to qualify as a REIT for 2008, we would expect to pay a special dividend payable in December 2008.
 
Impact of Recent Market Conditions
 
Since June 2007, we have witnessed a significant disruption in the capital markets that has affected many financial institutions. This disruption resulted in a substantial reduction in liquidity for certain assets, greater pricing for risk and de-leveraging. We believe the dislocation presents significant near-term market opportunities to originate assets with increased spreads and tighter structures and to selectively purchase high quality assets or businesses at attractive prices.
 
In our Commercial Banking segment, we also have seen and continue to see negative effects from the disruption in the form of reduced funding alternatives and a higher cost of funds on our credit facilities, term debt and other borrowings as measured by a spread to one-month LIBOR. We expect to continue to experience higher costs and less advantageous terms for financing our portfolio outside of CapitalSource Bank. With CapitalSource Bank, however, we believe we have significantly diversified and strengthened our funding and, with the addition of a significant amount of deposits, reduced our cost of funds overall. With greater liquidity and a lower cost of funds with less reliance on the capital markets, we believe we have positioned ourselves to take advantage of the attractive opportunities we perceive in the current environment.
 
We expect the US economy as a whole will stagnate or continue to weaken. Consequently, we expect that the credit performance of our portfolio will decline in light of the current difficult economic conditions that are likely to adversely affect our clients’ ability to fulfill their obligations to us. Additional material deterioration of the US economy could further impair the credit performance of our portfolio.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we also saw decreases in the carrying value of certain of our residential mortgage investments, representing a decline of approximately 1.5% in the value of the portfolio, as the market dislocation impacted the pricing relationship between mortgage assets (including Agency MBS that we own) and low risk fixed income securities. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, conditions in the residential mortgage market worsened from the second quarter of 2008, and volatility returned to the market. To

reduce our exposure to this market volatility, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we sold Agency MBS with a face value of $2.1 billion. We do not anticipate further sales of Agency MBS in 2008, but as a result of establishment of CapitalSource Bank in our taxable REIT subsidiary, we purchased $1.0 billion in U.S. Treasury securities and $450.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) discount notes, which have matured, and we expect to acquire additional residential mortgage or other REIT qualifying assets to meet applicable REIT compliance requirements and optimize our REIT structure for 2008.
 
Consolidated Results of Operations
 
We operate as three reportable segments:  1) Commercial Banking, 2) Healthcare Net Lease, and 3) Residential Mortgage Investment. Our Commercial Banking segment comprises our commercial lending and banking business activities; our Healthcare Net Lease segment comprises our direct real estate investment business activities; and our Residential Mortgage Investment segment comprises our residential mortgage investment and other REIT qualifying investment activities.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we presented financial results through two reportable segments: 1) Commercial Lending & Investment and 2) Residential Mortgage Investment. Our Commercial Lending & Investment segment comprised our commercial lending and direct real estate investment business and our Residential Mortgage Investment segment comprised all of our activities related to our investments in residential mortgage loans, RMBS and other REIT qualifying investments. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007, we began presenting financial results through three reportable segments: 1) Commercial Finance, 2) Healthcare Net Lease, and 3) Residential Mortgage Investment. Changes have been made in the way management organizes financial information to make operating decisions, resulting in the activities previously reported in the Commercial Lending & Investment segment being disaggregated into the Commercial Finance segment and the Healthcare Net Lease segment as described above. Beginning in third quarter of 2008, we changed the name of our Commercial Finance segment to Commercial Banking to incorporate depository products and services of CapitalSource Bank. We have reclassified all comparative prior period segment information to reflect our three reportable segments. The discussion that follows differentiates our results of operations between our segments.
 
Explanation of Reporting Metrics
 
Interest Income.  In our Commercial Banking segment, interest income represents interest earned on our commercial loans, the “A” Participation Interest, marketable securities, other investments and cash and cash equivalents. Although the majority of these loans charge interest at variable rates that generally adjust daily, we also have a number of loans charging interest at fixed rates. Interest on CapitalSource Bank investments is primarily derived from agency discount notes and agency callable debt obligations. In our Healthcare Net Lease segment, interest income represents interest earned on cash and restricted cash. In our Residential Mortgage Investment segment, interest income consists of coupon interest and the amortization of purchase discounts and premiums on our investments in RMBS and mortgage-related receivables, which are amortized into income using the interest method.
 
Fee Income.  In our Commercial Banking segment, fee income represents net fee income earned from our commercial loan operations. Fee income primarily includes the amortization of loan origination fees, net of the direct costs of origination, prepayment-related fees as well as other fees charged to borrowers.
 
Operating Lease Income.  In our Healthcare Net Lease segment, operating lease income represents lease income earned in connection with our direct real estate investments. Our operating leases typically include fixed rental payments, subject to escalation over the life of the lease. We generally project a minimum escalation rate for the leases and recognize operating lease income on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. We currently do not generate any operating lease income in our Commercial Banking segment or our Residential Mortgage Investment segment.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense is the amount paid on deposits and borrowings, including the amortization of deferred financing fees and debt discounts. In our Commercial Banking segment, interest expense includes interest paid to depositors and the borrowing costs associated with repurchase agreements, secured and unsecured credit facilities, term debt, convertible debt and subordinated debt. In our Healthcare Net Lease segment, our borrowings consist of a secured credit facility, mortgage debt and allocated intercompany debt. In our Residential


49


 

Mortgage Investment segment, our borrowings consist of repurchase agreements and term debt. The majority of our borrowings charge interest at variable rates based primarily on one-month LIBOR or Commercial Paper (“CP”) rates plus a margin. Currently, our convertible debt, three series of our subordinated debt, our term debt recorded in connection with our investments in mortgage-related receivables and the intercompany debt within our Healthcare Net Lease segment bear a fixed rate of interest. Deferred financing fees, debt discounts and the costs of issuing debt, such as commitment fees and legal fees, are amortized over the estimated life of the borrowing. Loan prepayments may materially affect interest expense on our term debt since in the period of prepayment the amortization of deferred financing fees and debt acquisition costs is accelerated.
 
Provision for Loan Losses.  We record a provision for loan losses in both our Commercial Banking segment and our Residential Mortgage Investment segment. The provision for loan losses is the periodic cost of maintaining an appropriate allowance for loan losses inherent in our commercial lending portfolio and in our portfolio of residential mortgage-related receivables. As the size and mix of loans within these portfolios change, or if the credit quality of the portfolios change, we record a provision to appropriately adjust the allowance for loan losses. We do not have any loan receivables in our Healthcare Net Lease segment.
 
Other Income.  In our Commercial Banking segment, other income (expense) consists of gains (losses) on the sale of loans, gains (losses) on the sale of debt and equity investments, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on certain investments, gains (losses) on derivatives, due diligence deposits forfeited, fees associated with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) origination activities, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of our equity interests in certain non-consolidated entities, third-party servicing income, income from our management of various loans held by third parties and other miscellaneous fees and expenses not attributable to our commercial lending and banking operations. In our Healthcare Net Lease segment, other income (expense) consists of gain (loss) on the sale of assets. In our Residential Mortgage Investment segment, other income (expense) consists of realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on certain of our residential mortgage investments and gains (losses) on derivatives that are used to hedge the residential mortgage investment portfolio.
 
Operating Expenses.  In our Commercial Banking segment, operating expenses include compensation and benefits, professional fees, travel, rent, insurance, depreciation and amortization, marketing and other general and administrative expenses. In our Healthcare Net Lease segment, operating expenses include depreciation of direct real estate investments, professional fees, an allocation of overhead expenses (including compensation and benefits) and other direct expenses. In our Residential Mortgage Investment segment, operating expenses include an allocation of overhead expenses, compensation and benefits, professional fees paid to our investment manager and other direct expenses.
 
Income Taxes.  We elected REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) when we filed our tax return for the year ended December 31, 2006. In October 2008, we announced our decision to revoke our REIT election in 2009. We intend to maintain REIT status through 2008, but will not be a REIT next year. While we are a REIT, we generally are not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed to our shareholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities, but are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings we derive from our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). While we are a REIT, we do not expect income from our Healthcare Net Lease segment or Residential Mortgage Investment segment to be subject to corporate-level tax as all assets in these segments are considered REIT qualifying assets. While we are a REIT, a significant portion of our income from our Commercial Banking segment will remain subject to corporate-level income tax as many of the segment’s assets are originated and held in our TRSs.
 
Adjusted Earnings.  Adjusted earnings represents net income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), adjusted for certain items. It is limited in that it excludes real estate depreciation, amortization of deferred financing fees, non-cash equity compensation, realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments in RMBS and related derivatives, unrealized gains and losses on other derivatives and foreign currencies, net unrealized gains and losses on investments, provision for loan losses, charge offs, recoveries, nonrecurring items and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, each computed in accordance with GAAP. To compensate for these limitations, we encourage investors to review adjusted earnings in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in our consolidated


50


 

financial statements, to help analyze how our business is performing. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flows (each computed in accordance with GAAP).
 
We view adjusted earnings and the related per share measures as useful and appropriate supplemental measures of our operating performance in addition to net income and net income per share because they facilitate evaluation of the company without the effects of certain adjustments determined in accordance with GAAP that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance. The use of adjusted earnings is similar to the practices of other REITs who also publish certain non-GAAP measures to supplement their GAAP measures. Since such reporting practice is common in the REIT industry, we believe it is important for us to also utilize a similar non-GAAP measure as supplemental information to provide investors a means to better compare our operating performance to that of other REITs. Adjusted earnings and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry. Investors should consider these differences when comparing our adjusted earnings to other REITs.
 
Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

Operating Expenses
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, consolidated operating expenses decreased by $3.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in consolidated operating expenses was primarily due to an $8.8 million decrease in compensation and benefits expense primarily resulting from decreases in incentive compensation from the same period in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense primarily resulting from increase in direct real estate investments and CapitalSource Bank’s fixed assets from the same period in the prior year, a $1.5 million increase in marketing expense related to CapitalSource Bank and a $1.9 million increase in other administrative expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, incentive compensation totaled $7.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively. Incentive compensation comprises annual bonuses, as well as stock options and restricted stock awards, which generally have vesting periods ranging from 18 months to five years.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consolidated operating expenses increased by $2.8 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in consolidated operating expenses was primarily due to a $7.4 million increase in professional fees, due to write-off of previously capitalized costs related to the transaction with TierOne Corporation that was terminated in March 2008, a $5.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense primarily resulting from increases in our direct real estate investments and depreciation on CapitalSource Bank’s fixed assets over the same period in the prior year, a $1.4 million increase in marketing expense related to CapitalSource Bank and a $6.7 million increase in administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $21.8 million decrease in incentive compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, incentive compensation totaled $38.1 million and $59.9 million, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
We provided for income taxes on the consolidated income earned based on a 35% and 24.0% effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increased effective tax rate on consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007, is primarily due to our TRSs accounting for a greater percentage of our projected annual consolidated net income in 2008 than in 2007. We provided for income taxes for the nine months ended


52


 

September 30, 2008 and 2007, based on effective tax rates of 39.5% and 38.0%, respectively, for the income earned by our TRSs. We did not provide for any income taxes for the income earned by our qualified REIT subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 or 2007.

Net income
    25,936       52,050       (26,114 )     (50 )
 
Interest Income
 
The decrease in interest income was primarily due to an increase in non-accrual loans and a decrease in yield on average interest earning assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, yield on average interest earning assets decreased to 8.36% compared to 11.31% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the interest component of yield to 7.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from 10.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in the interest component of yield was due to a decrease in short-term interest rates and lower yield on our “A” Participation Interest, partially offset by an increase in our core lending spread. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, our core lending spread to average one-month LIBOR was 6.78% compared to 6.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Fluctuations in yields are driven by a number of factors, including changes in short-term interest rates (such as changes in the prime rate or one-month LIBOR), the coupon on new loan originations, the coupon on loans that pay down or pay off and modifications of interest rates on existing loans.
 
Fee Income
 
The increase in fee income was primarily the result of a increase in prepayment-related fee income, which totaled $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Prepayment-related fee income contributed 0.11% and 0.13% to yield for three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Yield from fee income, including prepayment related fees, decreased to 0.97% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from 1.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Interest Expense
 
We fund our business largely through debt and deposits. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the addition of interest on deposits from our banking operations and an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $2.0 billion, or 24%. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in our cost of funds. Our cost of


53


 

funds was 5.20% and 6.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in our cost of funds was the result of the lower cost of deposits, partially offset by an increase in borrowing spreads and structuring fees on certain of our term securitizations and on certain of our credit facilities.
 
Net Finance Margin
 
Net finance margin, defined as net investment income (which includes interest and fee income less interest expense) divided by average income earning assets, was 4.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 191 basis points from 5.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in net finance margin was primarily due to the decrease in yield on total income earning assets, a decrease in short-term market rates of interest such as LIBOR upon which the yield of many of our loans are based, partially offset by a decrease in our cost of funds as measured by a spread to short-term market rates of interest such as LIBOR. Net finance spread, which represents the difference between our gross yield on income earning assets and the cost of our interest bearing liabilities, was 3.16% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 174 basis points from 4.90% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Gross yield is the sum of interest and fee income divided by our average income earning assets. The decrease in net finance spread is attributable to the changes in its components as described above.
 
The yields of income earning assets and the costs of interest bearing liabilities in our Commercial Banking segment for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, were as follows:

(1) Interest earning assets include cash, restricted cash, loans and investments in debt securities.
 
(2) Interest bearing liabilities include deposits, repurchase agreements, secured and unsecured credit facilities, term debt, convertible debt and subordinated debt.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
 
The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily the result of recognizing more allocated reserves during the three months ended September 30, 2008, than in the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase was also partially due to an increase in the overall policy reserve levels due to a change in reserve factors to reflect the expectation of higher estimated inherent losses in the current economic environment as well as some modest change in the portfolio balance and mix.
 
Operating Expenses
 
The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to a decrease in incentive compensation and benefits as described in the explanation of consolidated operating expenses above. Operating expenses as a percentage of average total assets decreased to 1.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from 2.09% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.


54


 

Other Income
 
The increase in other income was primarily attributable to a $70.1 million increase in gain on extinguishment of debt, a $15.9 million increase in foreign currency gains and a $18.2 million increase in gains related to our derivative instruments. These increases were partially offset by a $27.5 million increase in losses on our equity investments and a $1.0 million decrease in diligence deposits forfeited.
 
Our unrealized gains on derivative instruments were primarily due to the unrealized net change in the fair value of swaps used in hedging certain of our assets and liabilities to minimize our exposure to interest rate movements. We do not apply hedge accounting to these swaps and, as a result, changes in the fair value of such swaps are recognized in GAAP net income, while changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged exposures are not.

Net income
    6,150       3,286       2,864       87  
 
Operating Lease Income
 
The increase in operating lease income was due to an increase in the average balance of our direct real estate investments, which are leased to healthcare industry clients through long-term, triple-net operating leases. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, our average balance of direct real estate investments was $1.1 billion.
 
Other income (expense)
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, other income increased primarily due to our recognition of a $1.2 million impairment on one of our skilled nursing facilities during the three months ended September 30, 2007. No such impairment was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Noncontrolling interest expense
 
The decrease in noncontrolling interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in our quarterly dividend and the redemption of certain noncontrolling interests since September 30, 2007.
 
Net Finance Margin
 
Net finance margin, defined as net investment income (which includes interest and operating lease income less interest expense) divided by average income earning assets, was 6.44% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 33 basis points from 6.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Our net finance spread was 3.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 12 basis points from 3.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net finance spread is the difference between yield on interest earning

assets and the cost of our interest bearing liabilities. The increase in net finance spread was attributable to the changes in its components as described above.
 
Residential Mortgage Investment Segment
 
Our Residential Mortgage Investment segment operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007, were as follows:

Net loss
    24,031       27,071       (3,040 )     (11 )
 
Interest Income
 
The decrease in interest income was primarily due to the decline in average interest earning assets of $2.5 billion, or 38.9%.
 
Interest Expense
 
The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings of $2.6 billion, or 41.9%, corresponding to a decrease in the size of the portfolio. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the short term interest rate market index on which most of our cost of borrowings is based. Our cost of borrowings was 3.97% and 5.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Provision for loan losses
 
The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily due to an increase in the overall policy reserve levels due to a change in reserve factors to reflect the expectation of higher estimated inherent losses resulting from increase in residential mortgage loan delinquencies and foreclosures. The change resulted in additional allocated reserve of $4.6 million established during the three months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Operating Expenses
 
The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a change in our method of allocating expenses to this segment. Operating expenses as a percentage of average total assets increased to 0.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from 0.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Other Expense
 
The decrease in other expense was attributable to decreased net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments related to our residential mortgage investments of $47.1 million and decreased other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of our Non-Agency MBS of $8.3 million. The decrease was partially offset by increased net realized and unrealized losses on our Agency MBS of $52.1 million. The value of Agency MBS relative to risk-free investments was impacted by the broad credit market disruption that began during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Commercial Banking Segment
 
Our Commercial Banking segment operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007, were as follows:

Net income
    117,641       225,544       (107,903 )     (48 )
 
Interest Income
 
The decrease in interest income was primarily due to an increase in non-accrual loans and a decrease in yield on average interest earning assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, yield on average interest earning assets decreased to 9.38% compared to 11.92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the interest component of yield to 8.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from 10.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in the interest component of yield was partially due to a decrease in short-term interest rates and lower yield on our “A” Participation Interest, partially offset by an increase in our core lending spread. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our core lending spread to average one-month LIBOR was 6.99% compared to 6.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Fluctuations in yields are driven by a number of factors, including changes in short-term interest rates (such as changes in the prime rate or one-month LIBOR), the coupon on new loan originations, the coupon on loans that pay down or pay off and modifications of interest rates on existing loans.
 
Fee Income
 
The decrease in fee income was primarily the result of a decrease in prepayment-related fee income, which totaled $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $43.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Prepayment-related fee income contributed 0.22% and 0.64% to yield for nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Yield from fee income, including prepayment related fees, decreased to 1.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from 1.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Interest Expense
 
We fund our business largely through debt and deposits, and the increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $1.4 billion, or 18.64%, partially offset by a decrease in our cost of funds. Our cost of funds was 5.34% and 6.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in our cost of funds was the result of lower LIBOR and CP rates on which interest on our term securitizations and credit facilities is based and lower cost of deposits. The increase in interest expense was also the result of higher borrowing spreads and higher structuring fees on certain of our term securitizations and credit facilities, and increases in the cost of our convertible debt following the exchange offer completed in April 2007 and our issuance in July 2007 of our 7.25% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2037.

Net Finance Margin
 
Net finance margin, defined as net investment income (which includes interest and fee income less interest expense) divided by average income earning assets, was 4.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 183 basis points from 6.81% the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in net finance margin was primarily due to a decrease in yield on total income earning assets, a decrease in short-term market rates of interest such as LIBOR upon which the yield of many of our loans are based, partially offset by a decrease in our cost of funds as measured by a spread to short-term market rates of interest such as LIBOR. Net finance spread, which represents the difference between our gross yield on income earning assets and the cost of our interest bearing liabilities, was 4.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 167 basis points from 5.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Gross yield is the sum of interest and fee income divided by our average income earning assets. The decrease in net finance spread is attributable to the changes in its components as described above.
 
The yields of income earning assets and the costs of interest bearing liabilities in our Commercial Banking segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, were as follows:

(1) Interest earning assets include cash, restricted cash, loans and investments in debt securities.
 
(2) Interest bearing liabilities include deposits, repurchase agreements, secured and unsecured credit facilities, term debt, convertible debt and subordinated debt.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
 
The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to an increase in the overall policy reserve levels due to a change in reserve factors to reflect the expectation of higher estimated inherent losses in the current economic environment as well as some modest change in the portfolio balance and mix.
 
Operating Expenses
 
The decrease in operating expenses was due to the decrease in incentive compensation, partially offset by an increase in professional fees, depreciation and amortization and other administrative expenses described in the explanation of consolidated operating expenses above. Operating expenses as a percentage of average total assets decreased to 1.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from 2.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Other Income
 
The increase in other income was primarily attributable to an $82.8 million gain on the extinguishment of debt, a $5.6 million increase in income relating to our equity interests in various investees that are not consolidated for financial statement purposes, and a $5.4 million decrease in foreign currency losses. These increases were partially offset by a $54.4 million decrease in net realized and unrealized gains in our equity investments, a $7.1 million increase in losses related to our REO, a $6.9 million decrease in gains on the sale of loans, and a $5.8 million decrease in net realized and unrealized gains on derivative instruments.


59


 

Our unrealized losses on derivative instruments were primarily due to the unrealized net change in the fair value of swaps used in hedging certain of our assets and liabilities to minimize our exposure to interest rate movements. We do not apply hedge accounting to these swaps and, as a result, changes in the fair value of such swaps are recognized in GAAP net income, while changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged exposures are not.

Operating Lease Income
 
The increase in operating lease income was due to an increase in our direct real estate investments, which are leased to healthcare industry clients through long-term, triple-net operating leases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, our average balance of direct real estate investments was $1.1 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively.
 
Interest Expense
 
The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average borrowings of $75.0 million, or 14.07%. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in our cost of borrowings. Our cost of borrowings was 7.12% and 7.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our overall borrowing spread to average one-month LIBOR for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 4.28% compared to 2.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Net Finance Margin
 
Net finance margin, defined as net investment income (which includes interest and operating lease income less interest expense) divided by average income earning assets, was 5.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 16 basis points from 5.77% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Our net finance spread was 2.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 15 basis points from 2.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Net finance spread is the difference between yield on interest earning assets and the cost of our interest bearing liabilities. The increase in net finance spread was attributable to the changes in its components as described above.
 
Depreciation of Direct Real Estate Investments
 
The increase in depreciation was primarily due to an increase in our gross direct real estate investments during 2008 over 2007. Our average gross direct real estate investment balance during the nine months ended


60


 

September 30, 2008 was $1.1 billion compared to an average balance of $0.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Noncontrolling interest expense
 
The decrease in noncontrolling interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in our quarterly dividends during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and the redemption of certain noncontrolling interests since September 30, 2007.
 
Residential Mortgage Investment Segment
 
Our Residential Mortgage Investment segment operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007, were as follows:

Net loss
    53,962       39,520       14,442       37  
 
Interest Income
 
The decrease in interest income was primarily due to the decline in average interest earning assets of $1.3 billion, or 22.04%.
 
Interest Expense
 
The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings of $1.4 billion, or 24.26%, corresponding to a decrease in the size of the portfolio. This decrease was also due to a decrease in our cost of borrowings. Our cost of borrowings was 4.20% and 5.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in our cost of borrowings was primarily due to a decrease in the short term interest rate market index on which our cost of borrowings is based.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
 
The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily due to an increase in the overall policy reserve levels due to a change in reserve factors to reflect the expectation of higher estimated inherent losses resulting from increase in residential mortgage loan delinquencies and foreclosures.
 
Operating Expenses
 
The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a change in our method of allocating expenses to this segment. Operating expenses as a percentage of average total assets increased to 0.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from 0.12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Other Expense
 
The increase in other expense was primarily attributable to net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments related to our residential mortgage investments of $58.2 million, net realized and unrealized losses on our Agency MBS of $11.0 million, other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of our Non-Agency MBS of $4.1 million, and $2.4 million in losses related to our REO. The value of Agency MBS relative to risk-free investments was impacted by the broad credit market disruption that began during the year ended December 31, 2007. As a result, the decline in value of our derivatives resulting from lower interest rates was not fully offset by an increase in the value of Agency MBS.

Includes non-performing loans classified as held for sale that have an aggregate principal balance of $14.5 million as of September 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2007, there were no non performing loans classified as held for sale.
 
(2) Includes commercial loans with aggregate principal balances of $174.9 million and $55.5 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, which were also classified as loans 60 or more days contractually delinquent, and commercial loans with aggregate principal balances of $249.4 million and $170.5 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, which were also classified as loans on non-accrual status. The carrying values of impaired commercial loans were $697.4 million and $311.6 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, prior to the application of allocated reserves.
 
Consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (“SFAS No. 114”), we consider a loan to be impaired when, based on current information, we determine that it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. In this regard, impaired loans include those loans where we expect to encounter a


65


 

significant delay in the collection of, and/or shortfall in the amount of contractual payments due to us as well as loans that we have assessed as impaired, but for which we ultimately expect to collect all payments.
 
As of September 30, 2008, no allowance for loan losses was deemed necessary with respect to the “A” Participation Interest.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, commercial loans with an aggregate carrying value of $288.3 million and $376.8 million, respectively, as of their respective restructuring date, were involved in troubled debt restructurings as defined by SFAS No. 15, Accounting for Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings occurred. As of September 30, 2008, commercial loans with an aggregate carrying value of $391.0 million were involved in troubled debt restructurings. Additionally, under SFAS No. 114, loans involved in troubled debt restructurings are also assessed as impaired, generally for a period of at least one year following the restructuring. The allocated reserve for commercial loans that were involved in troubled debt restructurings was $16.2 million as of September 30, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2007, commercial loans with an aggregate carrying value of $235.5 million as of their respective restructuring date, were involved in troubled debt restructurings. The allocated reserve for commercial loans that were involved in troubled debt restructurings was $23.1 million as of December 31, 2007.
 
Middle market lending involves credit risks that we believe will result in further credit losses in our portfolio. We have provided an allowance for loan losses to cover estimated losses inherent in our commercial loan portfolio. Our allowance for loan losses was $163.9 million and $138.9 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. These amounts equate to 1.74% and 1.41% of gross loans as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Of our total allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, $33.9 million and $27.4 million, respectively, were allocated to impaired loans. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $491.9 million and $199.2 million, respectively, of commercial loans that we assessed as impaired and for which we did not record any allocated reserves based upon our belief that it is probable that we ultimately will collect all principal and interest amounts due. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we charged off loans totaling $111.7 million and $51.7 million, respectively. Net charge offs as a percentage of average loans were 1.53% and 0.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Investments
 
We have made investments in some of our borrowers in connection with the loans provided to them. These investments usually comprise equity interests such as common stock, preferred stock, limited liability company interests, limited partnership interests, Agency notes and warrants, but sometimes are in the form of subordinated debt if that is the form in which the equity sponsor makes its investment.
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the carrying values of our investments in our Commercial Banking segment were $202.0 million and $227.1 million, respectively. Included in these balances were investments carried at fair value totaling $38.6 million and $17.8 million, respectively.
 
Healthcare Net Lease Segment
 
Direct Real Estate Investments
 
We acquire real estate for long-term investment purposes. These real estate investments are generally long-term care facilities leased through long-term, triple-net operating leases. Under a typical triple-net lease, the client agrees to pay a base monthly operating lease payment and all facility operating expenses as well as make capital improvements. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $1.0 billion in direct real estate investments, which consisted primarily of land and buildings.

(3) See following paragraph for a description of these securities.
 
We invest in RMBS, which are securities collateralized by residential mortgage loans. Agency MBS include mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. We also have invested in Non-Agency MBS, which are RMBS issued by non-government sponsored entities that are credit-enhanced through the use of subordination or in other ways. Substantially all of our RMBS are collateralized by adjustable rate residential mortgage loans, including hybrid adjustable rate mortgage loans. We account for our Agency MBS as debt securities that are classified as trading investments and included in mortgage-backed securities pledged, trading on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We account for our Non-Agency MBS as debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale and included in investments on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The coupons on the loans underlying RMBS are fixed for stipulated periods of time and then reset annually thereafter. The weighted average net coupon of Agency MBS in our portfolio was 5.02% as of September 30, 2008, and the weighted average reset date for the portfolio was approximately 27 months. The weighted average net coupon of Non-Agency MBS in our portfolio was 6.23% as of September 30, 2008. The fair values of our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS, including accrued interest, were $1.5 billion and $0.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2008.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had $1.8 billion in mortgage-related receivables secured by prime residential mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2008, the weighted average interest rate on these receivables was 5.37%, and the weighted average contractual maturity was approximately 27 years. See further discussion on our accounting treatment of mortgage-related receivables in Note 7, Mortgage-Related Receivables and Related Owner Trust Securitizations, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we also saw decreases in the carrying value of certain of our residential mortgage investments, representing a decline of approximately 1.5% in the value of the portfolio, as the market dislocation impacted the pricing relationship between mortgage assets (including Agency MBS that we own) and low risk fixed income securities. Since June 30, 2008, conditions in the residential mortgage market worsened and volatility returned to the market. To reduce our exposure to this market volatility, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we sold Agency MBS with a face value of $2.1 billion. We do not anticipate further sales of Agency MBS in 2008, but as a result of the establishment of CapitalSource Bank in our taxable REIT subsidiary, we purchased $1.0 billion in U.S. Treasury securities and $450.0 million in FHLB discount notes and expect to acquire additional residential mortgage or other REIT qualifying assets to continue to further facilitate compliance with REIT requirements and optimize our REIT structure for 2008.

Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, mortgage-related receivables, whose underlying mortgage loans are 90 or more days past due or in the process of foreclosure were as follows:

Percentage of mortgage-related receivables
    2.16 %(2)     0.72 %(2)
 
 
(1) Mortgage loans 90 or more days pass due are also placed on non-accrual status.
 
(2) By comparison, in their September 2008 Monthly Summary Reports, which reflected up to August 2008 and September 2008 performance, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively, reported single-family delinquency (“SDQ”) rates of 1.57% and 1.27%, respectively. The SDQ rates are based on loans 90 days or more delinquent or in foreclosure as of period end and in addition, the SDQ rate from Freddie Mac includes loans underlying their structured transactions. The comparable August 2008 statistic for mortgage-related receivables was 2.12%.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, total foreclosed assets increased by $1.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the carrying value of the foreclosed assets was $7.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, net of recoveries.
 
In connection with recognized mortgage-related receivables, we recorded provisions for loan losses of $5.0 million and $11.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded provisions for loan losses of $0.4 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we charged off $3.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, net of recoveries, of these mortgage-related receivables. No such amounts were charged off during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The allowance for loan losses was $7.8 million and $0.8 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and was recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a reduction to the carrying value of mortgage-related receivables.
 
Financing
 
We have financed our investments in Agency MBS, Agency Discount Notes and U.S. Treasury securities primarily through repurchase agreements. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our outstanding repurchase agreements used to finance Agency MBS totaled $2.9 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, repurchase agreements used to finance Agency MBS that we executed had maturities of between 2 days and 4 months and a weighted average borrowing rate of 2.15%.
 
Our investments in residential mortgage-related receivables were financed primarily through debt issued in connection with two securitization transactions. As of September 30, 2008, the total outstanding balance of these debt obligations was $1.8 billion. The interest rates on all classes of the notes within each securitization are fixed for various periods of time and then reset annually thereafter, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.93% as of September 30, 2008. The notes within each securitization are expected to mature at various dates through 2036.
 
The interest rates on our repurchase agreements, securitization-based debt and other financings may change at different times and in different magnitudes than the interest rates earned on our residential mortgage investments. See Market Risk Management below for a discussion of our interest rate risk management program related to our residential mortgage investment portfolio.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, which include funding our existing commercial loan and investment commitments, repaying borrowings, making new investments, paying


68


 

dividends and other general business purposes. We believe our sources of financing will be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity needs.
 
We separately manage the liquidity of CapitalSource Bank and other CapitalSource entities. In the first three years of operations, CapitalSource Bank will be prohibited from paying dividends to CapitalSource entities without approval of the CapitalSource Bank’s primary regulators. CapitalSource Bank will utilize deposits as its primary source of liquidity. Other sources of liquidity available to CapitalSource Bank include a portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco of which CapitalSource Bank is a member, borrowings from the Federal Reserve, reverse repurchase transactions, and cash flow from its operations and assets. CapitalSource Bank’s primary uses of liquidity are to fund new commercial loans originated by CapitalSource Bank, additional commitments on its existing commercial loans and investment securities. Pursuant to agreements with CapitalSource Bank’s regulators, CapitalSource Inc. and two of our wholly owned subsidiaries must maintain CapitalSource Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at not less than 15% and must maintain the capital levels of CapitalSource Bank at all times to meet the levels required for a bank to be considered “well capitalized” under the relevant banking regulations and CapitalSource Inc. and CapitalSource Finance LLC, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, have provided a $150.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility to CapitalSource Bank. As an industrial bank chartered and operating in the State of California, CapitalSource Bank is also under the regulatory limitations on secured and unsecured loans as a percentage of the sum of shareholders’ equity, allowance for loan and losses and capital notes and debentures.
 
We intend to continue to manage a portfolio of loans outside of CapitalSource Bank and may continue to fund and originate a smaller percentage of new commercial loans outside of CapitalSource Bank. As a result, we intend to maintain additional sources of liquidity to fund our operations outside of CapitalSource Bank. Sources of liquidity outside of CapitalSource Bank will include cash flows from operations outside of CapitalSource Bank, repayments of principal under the loans we make to our customers outside of CapitalSource Bank, borrowings under our repurchase agreements and credit facilities, long-term financing of our direct real estate investments through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, other mortgage funding on lease properties, issuance of debt securities (including term debt, subordinated debt and convertible debt), issuances of equity (including, at our option, through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”)), asset sales, repurchase agreements with CapitalSource Bank and other sources.
 
As of September 30, 2008, the amount of our unfunded commitments to extend credit to our clients exceeded our unused funding sources and unrestricted cash by $1.4 billion. Commitments do not include transactions for which we have signed commitment letters but not yet signed definitive binding agreements. We expect that our commercial loan commitments outside of CapitalSource Bank will continue to exceed our available funds for the foreseeable future. Our obligation to fund unfunded commitments is generally based on our clients’ ability to provide additional collateral to secure the requested additional fundings, the additional collateral’s satisfaction of eligibility requirements and our clients’ ability to meet specified preconditions to borrowing. In some cases, our unfunded commitments do not require additional collateral to be provided by a borrower as a prerequisite to future fundings by us or additional funding under these commitments is at our discretion. We believe that we have sufficient funding capacity and other sources of liquidity to meet short-term needs related to unfunded commitments. If we do not have sufficient funding capacity or other sources of liquidity to satisfy our commitments, our failure to satisfy our full contractual funding commitment to one or more of our clients could create breach of contract and lender liability for us and damage our reputation in the marketplace, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We determine our long-term liquidity and capital resource requirements by analyzing expected changes in the balance of our portfolio and other assets, expected changes in the balance of our liabilities, net cash flows from operations and other requirements. Additionally, while we are a REIT, our liquidity needs may need to be funded by external sources of capital due to the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders. While we are a REIT, we are not required to distribute the taxable income related to our TRSs and, therefore, have the flexibility to retain these earnings. While we are a REIT, we intend to pay dividends equal to at least 90% of our REIT taxable income.


69


 

While we are a REIT, we may cause our TRSs to pay dividends to us to increase our REIT taxable income, subject to the REIT gross income limitations and regulatory limitations on dividends payable by CapitalSource Bank. If during that time we are limited in the amount of dividends we can receive from our TRSs, we intend to use other sources of cash to fund dividend payments while we are a REIT.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we have sold Agency MBS with a face value of $2.1 billion. As discussed below, we have funded and expect to continue to fund the remaining portfolio of residential mortgage investments primarily through repurchase agreements, credit facilities and term debt using leverage consistent with industry standards for these assets.
 
We anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital from time to time to support our business. We may raise equity in the future and, assuming the current dislocation in the credit markets improves, we may seek to continue to access the debt markets for funding and to continue to explore additional sources of financing. We expect these financings could include additional secured and unsecured credit facilities, secured and unsecured term debt, subordinated debt, repurchase agreements, equity-related securities such as convertible debt and/or other financing sources to the extent available on attractive terms. We cannot assure you, however, that we will have access to any of these funding sources in the future.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $1.3 billion and $178.7 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. We invest cash on hand in short-term liquid investments. Approximately $1 billion of the increase in cash and cash equivalents was the result of our acquisition of the deposits of FIL in July 2008.
 
We had $1.8 billion and $513.8 million of restricted cash as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The restricted cash primarily represents both principal and interest collections on loans collateralizing our term debt and on loans pledged to our credit facilities and investments in U.S. Treasury securities and discount notes held for REIT compliance purposes and subject to repurchase financing arrangements. We also have restricted cash representing other items such as client holdbacks, escrows and securities pledged as collateral to secure our repurchase agreements and related derivatives. Principal repayments, interest rate swap payments, interest payable and servicing fees are deducted from the monthly principal and interest collections funded by loans collateralizing our credit facilities and term debt, and the remaining restricted cash is returned to us and becomes unrestricted at that time.
 
Sources and Uses of Cash
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we generated (used) cash from operations of $2.9 billion and $(824.5) million, respectively. Included within these amounts are cash inflows related to the sale of Agency MBS that are classified as trading investments.
 
Investing activities primarily relate to loan origination and repayments, sales of residential mortgage investments, primarily mortgage-related receivables, and acquisitions of investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we generated (used) cash in investing activities of $1.7 million and $(1.4) billion, respectively.
 
Cash from our financing activities is generated from proceeds from our issuances of equity, borrowings on our repurchase agreements, credit facilities and term debt and from our issuances of convertible debt and subordinated debt. Our financing activities primarily use cash to repay term debt borrowings, repurchase agreements and to pay cash dividends. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we (used) generated cash flow from financing activities of $(3.5) billion and $2.1 billion, respectively.
 
Deposits
 
We completed the formation of CapitalSource Bank on July 25, 2008, which included the assumption of approximately $5.2 billion in deposits from FIL. Deposits gathered through its 22 retail bank branches are the primary source of funding for CapitalSource Bank. While we expect CapitalSource Bank to have other sources of


70


 

liquidity as outlined above, we expect to raise additional deposits through CapitalSource Bank’s retail branches. We intend to fund a majority of our commercial loans through CapitalSource Bank in the future.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had deposits totaling $5.0 billion. For additional information about our deposits, see Note 13 Deposits, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Borrowings
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had outstanding borrowings totaling $11.4 billion and $15.0 billion, respectively. Borrowings under our repurchase agreements, credit facilities, term debt, convertible debt and subordinated debt have supported our business. For a detailed discussion of our borrowings, see Note 11, Borrowings, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in our Form 10-K and Note 14, Borrowings, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Our overall debt strategy emphasizes diverse sources of financing, including both secured and unsecured financings. As of September 30, 2008, approximately 80.6% of our debt was collateralized by our loans, equity investments, direct real estate investments and residential mortgage investments and approximately 19.4% was unsecured. On July 25, 2008, we sold approximately $2.1 billion of commercial loans to CapitalSource Bank. Approximately, $1.7 billion of the proceeds of this sale was utilized to repay secured debt. In October 2008, we sold approximately $91.6 million additional commercial loans to CapitalSource Bank.
 
Standard and Poor’s and Fitch Ratings each currently rate our senior unsecured obligations BBB-.
 
We have seen and continue to see negative effects from the economic and credit disruptions in the form of a higher cost of funds on our borrowings as measured by a spread to one-month LIBOR. We also have experienced and expect to continue to experience greater difficulty and higher cost in obtaining term debt for our loans outside of CapitalSource Bank. We have seen higher borrowing costs, lower advance rates and other less advantageous terms on both our secured and unsecured credit facilities that we have renewed in 2008.
 
Repurchase Agreements
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we entered into three new master repurchase agreements and borrowed under our existing repurchase agreements with various financial institutions to finance the purchase of RMBS, Agency Discount Notes and U.S. Treasury securities. One of our new master repurchase agreements was a facility with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., to finance the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities that had a maximum facility amount of $1.0 billion for September and October 2008. As of September 30, 2008, we had borrowed the full facility amount of $1.0 billion. The facility also provides for a maximum facility amount of $1.5 billion for December 2008 and January 2009 to finance the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had borrowings outstanding under seven master repurchase agreements with various financial institutions to finance the purchases of RMBS, Agency Discount Notes and U.S. Treasury securities. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the aggregate amounts outstanding under such repurchase agreements were $2.9 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these repurchase agreements had weighted average borrowing rates of 2.15% and 5.12%, respectively, and weighted average remaining maturities of 0.6 months and 2.5 months, respectively. The terms of most of our borrowings pursuant to these repurchase agreements typically reset every 30 days. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these repurchase agreements were collateralized by Agency MBS, Agency Discount Notes and U.S. Treasury securities with a fair value of $3.0 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, including accrued interest, and cash deposits of $25.2 million and $29.2 million, respectively, made to cover margin calls.
 
Credit Facilities
 
Our committed credit facility amounts were $2.7 billion and $5.6 billion as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, we had six credit facilities, five secured and one unsecured, with a total of 23 financial institutions. Interest on our credit facility borrowings is charged at variable


71


 

rates that may be based on one or more of one-month LIBOR, one-month EURIBOR, or the applicable CP rate. We use these facilities to fund our assets outside of CapitalSource Bank and for general corporate purposes. To date, many of our assets have been held, or warehoused, in our secured credit facilities until we complete a term debt transaction in which we securitize a pool of our assets from these facilities. We primarily use the proceeds from our term debt transactions to pay down our credit facilities, which results in increased capacity to redraw on them as needed.
 
As of September 30, 2008, our credit facilities’ commitments, principal amounts outstanding, interest rates and maturity dates were as follows:
 
                         
          Principal
    Interest
  Maturity

We expect to continue to review our borrowings and commitment levels under our credit facilities and opportunities to reduce any amounts of commitments that are determined to be surplus to our needs.
 
Term Debt
 
For our Commercial Banking segment, we have raised capital by securitizing pools of assets from our portfolio in permanent, on-balance-sheet term debt securitizations. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of our term debt securitizations was $3.7 billion.
 
Owners Trust Term Debt
 
Within our Residential Mortgage Investment segment, we own beneficial interests in securitization trusts (the “Owners Trust”), which, in 2006, issued $2.4 billion in senior notes and $105.6 million in subordinated notes backed by $2.5 billion of a diversified pool of adjustable rate commercial loans. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of our Owners Trust term debt was $1.8 billion.


72


 

Convertible Debt
 
We have raised capital through the issuance of convertible debt. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of our convertible debt was $749 million. In March 2009, holders of $180.0 million of our convertible debt may require us to repurchase this debt at par. We currently expect the holders of this debt to exercise these repurchase options and consequently we maintain and expect to continue to maintain sufficient cash to retire the debt assuming the holders exercise such repurchase options.
 
Subordinated Debt
 
We have raised junior subordinated capital through the issuance of trust preferred securities. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of our subordinated debt was $444.3 million.
 
Mortgage Debt
 
For our Healthcare Net Lease segment, we use mortgage loans to finance certain of our direct real estate investments. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of our mortgage debt was $331.7 million.
 
Debt Covenants
 
We, and some of our wholly owned subsidiaries, are required to comply with financial and non-financial covenants related to our debt financings and our servicing of loans collateralizing our secured credit facilities and term debt. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, among other things, servicing could be transferred to another servicer, payment of all amounts payable under the related debt may be accelerated and/or the lender’s commitment may be terminated. The notes under the trusts established in connection with our term debt include accelerated amortization provisions that require cash flows to be applied to pay the noteholders if the notes remain outstanding beyond the stated maturity dates and upon other termination events. A default under our credit facilities or term debt could trigger cross default provisions in our other debt facilities.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Financing
 
As a member of the FHLB of San Francisco, CapitalSource Bank has financing availability with the FHLB equal to 15% of CapitalSource Bank’s total assets. As of September 30, 2008, the maximum financing under this formula was $921.0 million. No amount was outstanding as of September 30, 2008. The financing is subject to various terms and conditions including, but not limited to, the pledging of acceptable collateral, satisfaction of the FHLB stock ownership requirement and certain limits regarding the maximum term of debt.
 
Equity
 
We offer a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) to current and prospective shareholders. Participation in the DRIP allows common shareholders to reinvest cash dividends and to purchase additional shares of our common stock, in some cases at a discount from the market price. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we did not sell any shares under the direct purchase features of the DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received $198.2 million related to the direct purchase of 15.4 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we received $251.0 million and $437.7 million, respectively, related to the direct purchase of 14.2 million and 21.7 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP, respectively. In addition, we received proceeds of $2.6 million and $38.4 million related to cash dividends reinvested in 0.2 million and 3.6 million shares of our common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. We received proceeds of $40.3 million and $69.8 million related to the cash dividends reinvested for 2.1 million and 3.3 million shares of our common stock, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
 
In June 2008, we sold 34.5 million shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $11.00 per share, including the 4.5 million shares purchased by the underwriters pursuant to their over-allotment option. In connection with this offering, we received net proceeds of $365.8 million, which were used to repay borrowings under our secured credit facilities.


73


 

On October 20, 2008, we entered into an agreement with one of our existing securityholders, pursuant to which we issued 6,224,392 shares of our common stock in exchange for approximately $45 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 1.25% and 1.625% senior and senior subordinated convertible debentures due 2034 held by the securityholder. We retired all of the debentures we acquired in the exchange.
 
Commitments, Guarantees & Contingencies
 
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had unfunded commitments to extend credit to our clients of $3.9 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. Commitments do not include transactions for which we have signed commitment letters but not yet signed definitive binding agreements. We expect that our commercial loan commitments outside of CapitalSource Bank will continue to exceed our available funds for the foreseeable future. Our obligation to fund unfunded commitments is generally based on our clients’ ability to provide additional collateral to secure the requested additional fundings, the additional collateral’s satisfaction of eligibility requirements and our clients’ ability to meet specified preconditions to borrowing. In some cases, our unfunded commitments do not require additional collateral to be provided by a borrower as a prerequisite to future fundings by us or additional funding under these commitments is at our discretion. Our failure to satisfy our full contractual funding commitment to one or more of our clients could create lender liability and breach of contract liability for us and damage our reputation in the marketplace, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We currently believe that we have sufficient funding capacity to meet short-term needs related to unfunded commitments.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had issued $166.4 million in letters of credit which expire at various dates over the next six years. If a borrower defaults on its commitment(s) subject to any letter of credit issued under these arrangements, we would be responsible to meet the borrower’s financial obligation and would seek repayment of that financial obligation from the borrower. For further information on these contingencies is included in Note 21, Commitments and Contingencies, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had identified conditional asset retirement obligations primarily related to the future removal and disposal of asbestos that is contained within certain of our direct real estate investment properties. For reasons further discussed in Note 21, Commitments and Contingencies, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, no liability for conditional asset retirement obligations was recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2008.
 
We had provided a financial guarantee to a third-party warehouse lender that financed the purchase of approximately $344 million of commercial loans by a SPE to which one of our other wholly owned indirect subsidiaries provided advisory services in connection with such purchases of commercial loans. We had provided the warehouse lender with a limited guarantee under which we agreed to assume a portion of net losses realized in connection with those loans held by the SPE up to a specific loss limit. In May 2008, we paid the third-party warehouse lender $13.3 million in full settlement of this guarantee in connection with our consolidation of the SPE.
 
From time to time we are party to legal proceedings. We do not believe that any currently pending or threatened proceeding, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including our cash flows.
 
Credit Risk Management
 
Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in a client’s or counterparty’s ability to meet its financial obligations under agreed-upon terms. Credit risk exists primarily in our lending, leasing and derivative portfolios. The degree of credit risk will vary based on many factors including the size of the asset or transaction, the credit characteristics of the client, the contractual terms of the agreement and the availability and quality of collateral. We manage credit risk of our derivatives and credit-related arrangements by limiting the total amount of arrangements outstanding with an individual counterparty, by obtaining collateral based on management’s assessment of the client and by applying uniform credit standards maintained for all activities with credit risk.


74


 

As appropriate, the CapitalSource Inc. and CapitalSource Bank Credit Committees evaluate and approve credit standards and oversees the credit risk management function related to commercial loans, direct real estate investments and other investments. Their primary responsibilities include ensuring the adequacy of our credit risk management infrastructure, overseeing credit risk management strategies and methodologies, monitoring conditions in real estate and other markets having an impact on lending activities, and evaluating and monitoring overall credit risk.
 
Commercial Banking Segment
 
Credit risk management for the commercial loan portfolio begins with an assessment of the credit risk profile of a client based on an analysis of the client’s financial position. As part of the overall credit risk assessment of a client, each commercial credit exposure or transaction is assigned a risk rating that is subject to approval based on defined credit approval standards. While rating criteria vary by product, each loan rating focuses on the same three factors: credit, collateral, and financial performance. Subsequent to loan origination, risk ratings are monitored on an ongoing basis. If necessary, risk ratings are adjusted to reflect changes in the client’s or counterparty’s financial condition, cash flow or financial situation. We use risk rating aggregations to measure and evaluate concentrations within portfolios. In making decisions regarding credit, we consider risk rating, collateral, industry and single name concentration limits.
 
We use a variety of tools to continuously monitor a client’s or counterparty’s ability to perform under its obligations. Additionally, we syndicate loan exposure to other lenders, sell loans and use other risk mitigation techniques to manage the size and risk profile of our loan portfolio.
 
Residential Mortgage Investment Segment
 
A significant asset class in our residential mortgage investment portfolio is Agency MBS. For all Agency MBS we benefit from a full guarantee from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and look to this guarantee to mitigate the risk of changes in the credit performance of the mortgage loans underlying the Agency MBS. However, variation in the level of credit losses may impact the duration of our investments since a credit loss results in the prepayment of the relevant loan by the guarantor. The remainder of our residential mortgage investment portfolio is primarily mortgage related receivables. With respect to mortgage-related receivables, we are directly exposed to the level of credit losses on the underlying mortgage loans.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
In our normal course of business, we engage in commercial lending, banking, and leasing activities with clients primarily throughout the United States. As of September 30, 2008, the single largest industry concentration was business products and services, which made up approximately 14.6% of our commercial loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2008, the largest geographical concentration was the State of New York, which made up approximately 12.7% of our commercial loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2008, the single largest industry concentration in our direct real estate investment portfolio was skilled nursing, which made up approximately 98% of the investments. As of September 30, 2008, the largest geographical concentration in our direct real estate investment portfolio was Florida, which made up approximately 33% of the investments.
 
Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk
 
Derivative financial instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such agreements. This risk consists primarily of the termination value of agreements where we are in a favorable position. Credit risk related to derivative financial instruments is considered and provided for separately from the allowance for loan losses. We manage the credit risk associated with various derivative agreements through counterparty credit review and monitoring procedures. We obtain collateral from all counterparties and monitor all exposure and collateral requirements daily. We continually monitor the fair value of collateral received from counterparties and may request additional collateral from counterparties or return collateral pledged as deemed appropriate. Our agreements generally include master netting agreements whereby the counterparties are entitled to settle their positions “net.” As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the gross positive fair values of our


75


 

derivative financial instruments were $43.4 million and $82.9 million, respectively. Our master netting agreements reduced the exposure to this gross positive fair value by $31.0 million and $58.0 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We did not have any collateral against exposure to credit risk as of September 30, 2008. Accordingly, our net exposure to derivative counterparty credit risks as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, was $12.4 million and $24.9 million, respectively.
 
Market Risk Management
 
Market risk is the risk that values of assets and liabilities or revenues will be adversely affected by changes in market conditions such as market movements. This risk is inherent in the financial instruments associated with our operations and/or activities including loans, securities, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, trading account assets and liabilities and derivatives. Market-sensitive assets and liabilities are generated through loans associated with our traditional lending activities and market risk mitigation activities.
 
The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is inherent in the financial instruments associated with our operations, primarily including our loans, residential mortgage investments and borrowings. Our traditional loan products are non-trading positions and are reported at amortized cost. Additionally, debt obligations that we incur to fund our business operations are recorded at historical cost. While GAAP requires a historical cost view of such assets and liabilities, these positions are still subject to changes in economic values based on varying market conditions. Interest rate risk is the effect of changes in the economic value of our loans, and our other interest rate sensitive instruments and is reflected in the levels of future income and expense produced by these positions versus levels that would be generated by current levels of interest rates. We seek to mitigate interest rate risk through the use of various types of derivative instruments. For a detailed discussion of our derivatives, see Note 22, Derivative Instruments, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Interest Rate Risk Management — Commercial Banking Segment & Healthcare Net Lease Segment
 
Interest rate risk in our Commercial Banking and Healthcare Net Lease segments refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in interest rates, primarily various short-term interest rates, including LIBOR-based rates and the prime rate. We attempt to mitigate exposure to the earnings impact of interest rate changes by conducting the majority of our lending and borrowing on a variable rate basis. The majority of our commercial loan portfolio bears interest at a spread to the prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate with almost all of our other loans bearing interest at a fixed rate. The majority of our borrowings bear interest at a spread to LIBOR or CP, with the remainder bearing interest at a fixed rate. We are also exposed to changes in interest rates in certain of our fixed rate loans and investments. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to the earnings impact of the interest rate changes in these assets by engaging in hedging activities as discussed below.
 
The estimated (decreases) increases in net interest income for a 12-month segments based on changes in the interest rates applied to the combined portfolios of our Commercial Banking and Healthcare Net Lease segments as of September 30, 2008, were as follows:

We also enter into additional basis swap agreements to hedge basis risk between our LIBOR-based term debt and the prime-based loans pledged as collateral for that debt. These interest rate swaps modify our exposure to interest rate risk by synthetically converting fixed rate and prime rate loans to LIBOR. Additionally, we use offsetting interest rate caps to hedge loans with embedded interest rate caps. Our interest rate hedging activities partially protect us from the risk that interest collected under fixed-rate and prime rate loans will not be sufficient to service the interest due under the one-month LIBOR-based term debt.
 
We also use interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk of certain fixed rate debt. These interest rate swaps modify our exposure to interest rate risk by synthetically converting fixed rate debt to one-month LIBOR.
 
We have also entered into spot and short-dated forward exchange agreements to minimize exposure to foreign currency risk arising from foreign denominated loans.
 
Interest Rate Risk Management — Residential Mortgage Investment Segment
 
We are exposed to changes in interest rates in our residential mortgage investment portfolio and related financings based on changes in the level and shape of the yield curve, volatility of interest rates and mortgage prepayments. Changes in interest rates are a significant risk to our residential mortgage investment portfolio. As interest rates increase, the market value of residential mortgage investments may decline while financing costs could rise, to the extent not mitigated by positions intended to hedge these movements. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the market value of residential mortgage investments may increase while financing costs could decline, also to the extent not mitigated by positions intended to hedge these movements. In addition, changes in the interest rate environment may affect mortgage prepayment rates. For example, in a rising interest rate environment, mortgage prepayment rates may decrease, thereby extending the duration of our investments.
 
The majority of our residential mortgage investments are collateralized with mortgages that have a fixed interest rate for a certain period of time followed by an adjustable rate period in which the adjustments are subject to annual and lifetime caps. Our liabilities include repurchase agreements indexed to an interest rate market index such as LIBOR and securitized term debt financing through debt obligations secured by the residential mortgage loans securing our mortgage-related receivables.
 
The estimated changes in fair value based on changes in interest rates applied to our residential mortgage investment portfolio as of September 30, 2008, were as follows:

In connection with our residential mortgage investments and related financings, we follow a risk management program designed to mitigate the risk of changes in fair value of our residential mortgage investments due to shifts in interest rates. Specifically, we seek to eliminate the effective duration gap associated with our assets and liabilities. To accomplish this objective, we use a variety of derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, swaptions, treasury future contracts and Euro dollar futures contracts. These derivative transactions convert the short-term financing of our repurchase agreements to term financing matched to the expected duration of our residential mortgage investments.
 
To the extent necessary and based on established risk criteria, we will adjust the mix of financing and hedges as market conditions and asset performance evolves to maintain a close alignment between our assets and our liabilities. In addition, we have contracted with an external investment advisor, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., to provide analytical, risk management and other advisory services in connection with interest rate risk management on this portfolio.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Accounting policies are integral to understanding our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain judgments and assumptions based on information that is available at the time of the financial statements in determining accounting estimates used in the preparation of such statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and our critical accounting estimates are described in this section. Accounting estimates are considered critical if the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made and if different estimates reasonably could have been used in the reporting period, or if changes in the accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period that would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed our disclosure related to these estimates. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Critical Accounting Estimates within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The following are new critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
A portion of our assets are accounted for at fair value both on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. Specifically, investments in debt securities that are classified as trading, as well as derivative instruments are periodically adjusted to fair value through earnings. Investments in debt and equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive income, while loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Additionally, the fair value of equity investments is estimated for purposes of assessing and measuring such assets for impairment purposes while we use the fair value of collateral method to assess fair value for certain of our commercial loans for purposes of establishing a specific reserve against those assets.
 
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants.
 
SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs into valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes observable data from active markets, placing measurements using those inputs in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, and gives the lowest priority to unobservable inputs and classifies these as Level 3 measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described below:
 
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement;


78


 

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly;
 
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
 
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, management’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 157, it is our policy to maximize the use of observable market based inputs to value our financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis or to determine whether an adjustment to fair value is needed for assets carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis. A number of our financial instruments carried at fair value, whether on a recurring or non-recurring basis, are valued using internal assumptions and, therefore, classified as Level 3 within the SFAS No. 157 hierarchy.
 
The estimations of fair values reflect our best judgments regarding the appropriate valuation methods and assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value. The selection of a method to estimate fair value for each type of financial instrument depends on the reliability and availability of relevant market data. The amount of judgment involved in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by a number of factors, such as the type of instrument, the liquidity of the markets for the instrument and the contractual characteristics of the instrument. Judgments in these cases include, but are not limited to:
 
  •  Selection of third-party market data sources;
 
  •  Evaluation of the expected reliability of the estimate;
 
  •  Reliability, timeliness and cost of alternative valuation methodologies; and
 
  •  Selection of proxy instruments, as necessary.
 
For financial instruments that are actively traded in the marketplace or whose values are based on readily available market value data and, therefore, would be classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 within the SFAS No. 157 hierarchy, little, if any, subjectivity is applied when determining the instrument’s fair value. Whether a financial instrument is classified as Level 1 or Level 2 will depend largely on its similarity with other financial instruments in the marketplace and our ability to obtain corroborative data regarding whether the market in which the financial instrument trades is active. Our largest portfolio of financial instruments carried at either Level 1 or Level 2 is our Agency MBS portfolio which is classified as Level 2. For these assets, we obtain information from the pricing services and have validated that there is sufficient due diligence performed by the pricing services to corroborate that the values used to mark the assets to fair value fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Other Level 2 assets include equity securities in public companies and our over-the-counter traded derivatives to manage interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk with the values determined using market based yield curves, volatilities, basis spreads and other factors.
 
When observable market prices and data do not exist, significant management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In those cases, small changes in assumptions could result in significant changes in valuation. The financial instruments we hold that require the most complex judgments and assumptions involve equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and, therefore, are typically classified as Level 3 measurements. Each of these investments is valued using an internally developed model. This model utilizes industry valuation benchmarks, such as multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) ranging from three to ten times, depending on the industry, to determine a value for the underlying enterprise. We reduce this value by debt outstanding to arrive at an estimated equity value of the enterprise. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the pricing indicated by the external event will be used to corroborate our private equity valuation. Because of the inherent uncertainty of


79


 

determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily ascertainable market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material.
 
As of September 30, 2008, of the financial assets carried at fair value, $2.4 billion (11.96% of total assets) were classified as Level 1 or 2 while $38.8 million (0.20% of total assets) were classified as Level 3. From a liability perspective, $187.4 million 1.11% of total liabilities) were classified as Level 1 or Level 2 while no liabilities were classified as Level 3.
 
For our Level 3 assets, none of the associated unrealized gains/losses had a significant effect on our results of operations including impacts on liquidity, capital adequacy or other measures. Additionally, we did not experience any material declines in the market values of any of our financial instruments carried at fair value using Level 3 measurements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are exposed to certain financial market risks, which are discussed in detail in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Market Risk Management section of this Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K. In addition, for a detailed discussion of our derivatives, see Note 22, Derivative Instruments, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. and Note 21, Credit Risk, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in our Form 10-K.
 
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2008. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
 
Our business faces many risks.  The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our securities could decline. As a result, you should consider all of the following risks, together with all of the other Risk Factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on February 29, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”) and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2008 and August 11, 2008, respectively, and the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Form 10-K and our filings with the SEC before deciding to invest in our securities.
 
Compliance with applicable regulations could be more costly than expected and could negatively impact our business.
 
CapitalSource Bank is a California-chartered industrial bank and, as such, subject to the supervision and regulation by the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of California (“DFI”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), both of which will examine CapitalSource Bank on a regular basis. Although we and our subsidiaries other than CapitalSource Bank will not be directly regulated or supervised by the DFI, the FDIC, or any other bank regulatory authority, we and such other subsidiaries will be subject to regulatory oversight


80


 

with respect to guidelines concerning our and their relationship with CapitalSource Bank, transactions between us or them and CapitalSource Bank and other areas if required by the regulators. Regulatory approval was conditioned on CapitalSource and two of our wholly owned subsidiaries other than CapitalSource Bank entering into a satisfactory supervisory agreement with the regulators our consenting to examination by the FDIC in order for the FDIC to monitor compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to CapitalSource Bank and its affiliates. Banks are subject to extensive regulation of their activities and investments, their capitalization, their risk management policies and procedures, and their relationships with affiliated companies. Compliance with applicable regulations could be more costly than expected and could negatively impact our business and operations.
 
California Law
 
The industrial banking business to be conducted by CapitalSource Bank is governed by the California Financial Code (“Financial Code”), and the rules and regulations of the Commissioner of the DFI. All California state statutory and regulatory references to banks or commercial banks apply equally to California-chartered industrial banks. A California-chartered industrial bank may offer all loan and credit programs and deposit accounts that commercial banks may offer, with the significant exception that industrial banks are not authorized to offer certain demand deposit accounts.
 
Federal Law
 
CapitalSource Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC to the full extent permitted by law and the FDIC is the primary Federal regulator of CapitalSource Bank. As an insurer of deposits, the FDIC issues regulations, imposes and charges deposit insurance premiums and assessments, conducts examinations, requires the filing of reports and generally supervises the operations of institutions to which it provides deposit insurance. The approval of the FDIC is required prior to any merger, consolidation or change in control or the establishment or relocation of any branch office of CapitalSource Bank. The FDIC also may prohibit any FDIC insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the insurance fund and also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against insured institutions. The FDIC has authority to adjust the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) ratio to insured deposits within a range of 1.15% and 1.50%. The DIF ratio is viewed by the FDIC as the level that the fund should achieve and was established by the agency at 1.25% for 2008. Due to recent large payouts by the DIF for failed institutions, the DIF ratio has declined below 1.25% and the FDIC has recently proposed that the rate of insurance assessments will double. A significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of CapitalSource Bank. There can be no prediction as to what insurance assessment rates will be in the future. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the DFI.
 
Safety and Soundness Standards
 
As required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) as amended, the federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines designed to assist the federal banking agencies in identifying and addressing potential safety and soundness concerns before capital becomes impaired. The guidelines set forth operational and managerial standards relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems, and internal audit systems, (ii) loan documentation, (iii) credit underwriting, (iv) asset growth, (v) earnings, and (vi) compensation, fees, and benefits. In addition, the federal banking agencies have also adopted safety and soundness guidelines with respect to asset quality and earnings standards. These guidelines provide six standards for establishing and maintaining a system to identify problem assets and prevent those assets from deteriorating. Under these standards, an insured depository institution should: (i) conduct periodic asset quality reviews to identify problem assets, (ii) estimate the inherent losses in problem assets and establish allowances that are sufficient to absorb estimated losses, (iii) compare problem asset totals to capital, (iv) take appropriate corrective action to resolve problem assets, (v) consider the size and potential risks of material asset concentrations, and (vi) provide periodic asset quality reports with adequate information for management and CapitalSource Bank’s board of directors to assess the level of asset risk. These guidelines also set forth standards for evaluating and monitoring earnings and for ensuring that


81


 

earnings are sufficient for the maintenance of adequate capital and reserves. CapitalSource Bank will have to comply with all of these requirements, and may be required to incur significant costs to establish and maintain a successful compliance program.
 
Federal regulations require banks to maintain adequate allowances for loan losses. Compliance with these requirements may require us to alter the manner in which we evaluate and manage the loans owned or originated by CapitalSource Bank. Any alterations of this nature may be disruptive to our lending business and portfolio management operations.
 
Federal and state banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective and other supervisory action to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions, including but not limited to those institutions that fall below one or more prescribed minimum capital ratios. Under applicable law, CapitalSource Bank may be placed into receivership by the DFI or the FDIC for a number of reasons, including its insolvency, operation in an unsafe and unsound condition, a substantial dissipation of assets or earnings due to any violation of any statute or regulation or any unsafe or unsound practice, or the willful violation of a final cease and desist order.
 
Capital Standards
 
Each federal banking agency has adopted risk-based capital regulations under which a banking organization’s capital is compared to the risk associated with its operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets as well as transactions which are off-balance sheet items, such as letters of credit and recourse arrangements. Under the capital regulations, the nominal dollar amounts of assets and the balance sheet equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items are multiplied by one of several risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low credit risk, such as certain U.S. Treasury securities, to 100% for other assets with relatively high credit risk.
 
FDIC regulations define five capital categories for purposes of implementing the requirements under FDICIA. The five capital categories, which range from “well-capitalized” to “critically under-capitalized,” are based on the level of risk-based capital measures. The minimum risk-based capital ratios for Tier-1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets to be classified as well-capitalized are 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively. Although CapitalSource Bank initially has a Tier-1 and total risk-based capital ratio over 15% and is considered well capitalized, we will monitor the operations of CapitalSource Bank carefully to ensure that such capital remains adequate and that corrective actions are not required.
 
We and our wholly owned subsidiaries, CapitalSource TRS Inc. (“TRS”) and CapitalSource Finance LLC (“CSF” and together with CapitalSource and TRS, the “Parent Companies”), and CapitalSource Bank entered into a Capital Maintenance and Liquidity Agreement (“CMLA”) with the FDIC. The CMLA requires the Parent Companies to maintain CapitalSource Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at not less than 15%, to maintain the capital levels of CapitalSource Bank at all times to meet the levels required for a bank to be considered “well capitalized” under the relevant banking regulations, and for CapitalSource and CSF to provide a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility that CapitalSource Bank may draw on at any time it or the FDIC deems necessary. The Parent Companies and CapitalSource Bank also entered into a Parent Company Agreement (“Parent Agreement”) with the FDIC requiring the Parent Companies to maintain the capital levels of CapitalSource Bank at the levels required in the CMLA, and providing the Parent Companies’ consent to examination by the FDIC in order for the FDIC to monitor compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to CapitalSource Bank and its affiliates.
 
In addition, bank regulatory agencies established a leverage ratio to supplement the risk-based capital guidelines. The leverage ratio is intended to ensure that adequate capital is maintained against risks other than credit risk. For the FDIC, a minimum required ratio of Tier-1 capital to total assets of 3.0% is required for the highest quality bank holding companies that are not anticipating or experiencing significant growth. All other banking institutions must maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0% to 5.0% depending upon an institution’s particular risk profile.
 
Banking organizations that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth are expected to maintain capital ratios above the minimum levels. In addition to the uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that


82


 

apply across the industry, the federal banking agencies have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.
 
Limitations on Dividends
 
CapitalSource Bank is subject to regulatory limitations on its ability to pay dividends, including a prohibition on paying dividends during the first three years of its operation. Consequently, during periods in which dividends are prohibited, any excess capital in CapitalSource Bank will not be available for lending activities expected to be conducted outside of CapitalSource Bank in our other entities. This restriction on dividends may limit our ability to make loans outside of CapitalSource Bank.
 
Other Regulation
 
CapitalSource Bank is subject to federal consumer protection and other laws, including, but not limited to, the Truth In Savings Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Housing Act, the USA Patriot Act, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. These laws, rules and regulations, among other things, impose licensing obligations, limit the interest rates and fees that can be charged, mandate disclosures and notices to consumers, mandate the collection and reporting of certain data regarding customers, regulate marketing practices and require the safeguarding of non-public information of customers.
 
The acquisition of CapitalSource Bank has required us to acquire additional REIT-eligible assets to optimize our REIT structure for 2008.
 
The acquisition of CapitalSource Bank has increased the value of our taxable REIT subsidiary. As a result, we have had to acquire a significant amount of additional REIT-eligible assets to further facilitate compliance with REIT requirements and optimize our REIT structure for 2008. These assets have not been available to us on favorable terms as a result of recent market events and conditions. We expect to obtain more of these assets in the fourth quarter. If we are unable to acquire such additional assets on favorable terms, our business and our ability to comply with the REIT asset tests could be adversely affected.
 
We may not be successful in effecting any transaction with respect to our healthcare net lease business or realizing proceeds for our account through any transaction, which could impair our liquidity position.
 
We have previously disclosed that a key element of our short-term strategy is to complete the initial public offering of our healthcare net lease business. On October 15, 2008, we announced that we have delayed the initial public offering due to market volatility. We intend to evaluate alternatives, including an initial public offering, to grow our healthcare net lease business and realize its value. Our plan to revoke our REIT election in 2009 does not preclude any transaction with respect to our healthcare net lease business. We may not be able to complete any transaction, including an offering, on favorable terms, or at all. Our failure to complete any transaction, including an initial public offering, could, therefore, prevent us from obtaining additional liquidity we are seeking which may impair our plans for financing our business to capitalize further on attractive lending conditions.
 
We have determined not to qualify as a REIT beyond 2008 and the effects of this change in tax status could have adverse implications on our liquidity.
 
We have previously disclosed that we intend to remain a REIT for the balance of 2008, but not thereafter.
 
Commencing in 2009, we will be subject to corporate tax on all of our net income. In addition, we will no longer be required to pay any dividends to our shareholders. We intend to sell the assets comprising our residential mortgage investment segment in early 2009, as we will not need the assets once we are no longer a REIT. Discontinuing that segment could have implications from an accounting perspective, as we may have to show the segment’s results as discontinued operations in future periods, and may reduce our earnings as we either sell the segment’s assets or let them run off. The capital allocated to our RMIP was approximately 9% of our total capital as of September 30, 2008, which number may increase if we acquire additional REIT-eligible assets to enable us to


83


 

maintain our REIT status for 2008. We may not be able to sell these assets on favorable terms or at all which may adversely impact our business and results.
 
Further, we have agreed in contracts relating to some of our financings that we will use reasonable efforts to remain qualified as a REIT. Our decision not to qualify as a REIT for 2009 could be deemed to breach our agreements. If the counterparties to these financings allege breaches of those agreements, we may be subject to lengthy and costly litigation and if we were not to prevail in such litigation, we may be required to repay the underlying indebtedness prior to stated maturity, which could impair our liquidity.
