NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1.   Organization
 
CapitalSource Inc. (“CapitalSource,” and together with its subsidiaries other than CapitalSource Bank and its subsidiaries, the “Parent Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a commercial lender that, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CapitalSource Bank, provides financial products to small and middle market businesses nationwide and provides depository products and services in southern and central California. Substantially all new loans are originated at CapitalSource Bank. The Parent Company’s commercial lending activities consist primarily of satisfying its existing commitments made prior to CapitalSource Bank’s formation and receiving payments on its existing loan portfolio. Consequently, we expect that our loans at the Parent Company will gradually run off, while CapitalSource Bank’s loan portfolio will continue to grow.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we operated as two reportable segments: 1) CapitalSource Bank and 2) Other Commercial Finance. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we operated as three reportable segments: 1) CapitalSource Bank, 2) Other Commercial Finance, and 3) Healthcare Net Lease. Our CapitalSource Bank segment comprises our commercial lending and banking business activities, and our Other Commercial Finance segment comprises our loan portfolio and other business activities in the Parent Company. Our Healthcare Net Lease segment comprised our direct real estate investment business activities, which we exited completely with the sale of all of the assets related to this segment.

Our interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. 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 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, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2010 (“Form 10-K”).
 
The 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.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the reclassification of certain deferred fees and loan discounts from fee income to interest income or other income in our consolidated statements of operations.
 
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, 2009, included in our Form 10-K.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended its guidance on the accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities and established additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and the nature of an entity’s continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The amendment applies to all entities and eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing

financial assets. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 for all transfers occurring subsequent to the adoption date. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance changing how a reporting entity determines when an entity referred to as a variable interest entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about variable interest entities that provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity and ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. It does not change the existing scope for accounting and assessment of variable interest entities; however, it includes entities that were previously considered qualifying special-purpose entities, as the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity was eliminated. This guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010. As further explained in Note 5, Commercial Lending Assets and Credit Quality, our adoption resulted in an increase in our number of variable interest entities. This increase is primarily the result of borrowers that have undergone troubled debt restructuring transactions, requiring us to reconsider whether the borrowers qualify as variable interest entities. However, based on our analysis of each transaction, we have not met the characteristics of a primary beneficiary with respect to these entities, and thus, do not consolidate them. As a result, our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure which was intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures related to fair value measurements. These new disclosures would provide for disclosure of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, of fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities presented, of separate information for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity of Level 3 fair value measurements, and of valuation techniques used in recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for both Level 2 and Level 3 measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after March 15, 2010, except for the guidance related to purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity of Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 31, 2010. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2010, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on derivatives and hedging to clarify the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Only an embedded credit derivative that is related solely to the subordination of one financial instrument to another qualifies for the exemption. Entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. This guidance is effective in the first interim or annual fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2010. We adopted this guidance effective July 1, 2010, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on loans to clarify that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool of loans do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity continues to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. Loans accounted for individually continue to be subject to the previously issued troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions. This guidance is effective in the first interim or annual fiscal period ending on or after July 15, 2010 and should be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance effective July 1, 2010, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Note 3.   Discontinued Operations
 
In June 2010, we completed the sale of our long-term healthcare facilities to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc (“Omega”). As a result of these sales, we exited the skilled nursing home ownership business. Consequently, we

Commercial Real Estate “A” Participation Interest
 
As of September 30, 2010, the carrying value of the “A” Participation Interest was $5.4 million, representing our share of a $2.4 billion pool of commercial real estate loans and related assets. The “A” Participation Interest was fully paid off in October 2010.
 
The activity with respect to the “A” Participation Interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was as follows ($ in thousands):
 
         
“A” Participation Interest as of December 31, 2009
  $ 530,560  
Principal payments
    (534,675 )
Discount accretion
    9,524  
         
“A” Participation Interest as of September 30, 2010
  $ 5,409  
         
 
The “A” Participation Interest is reported at the outstanding principal balance less the associated discount. Interest income on the “A” Participation Interest is accrued as earned and recorded as a component of interest income on loans in our consolidated statements of operations. The discount is accreted into interest income over the estimated life of the instrument using the interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $1.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively, in interest income (including accretion) on the “A” Participation Interest, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized $10.7 million and $35.3 million, respectively, in interest income (including accretion) on the “A” Participation Interest.
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, no allowance for loan losses was deemed necessary with respect to the “A” Participation Interest.
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized net pre-tax losses on the sale of loans of $3.8 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized a net pre-tax loss of $7.7 million and $10.7 million, respectively, on the sale of loans.
 
Our analysis to determine when to sell a loan is performed on a loan-by-loan basis and considers several factors, including the credit quality of the loan, any financing secured by the loan and any requirements related to the release of liens and use of sales proceeds, the potential sale price relative to our loan valuation, our liquidity needs, and the resources necessary to ensure an adequate recovery if we continued to hold the loan. When our analysis indicates that the proper strategy is to sell a loan, we initiate the sale process and designate the loan as held for sale.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we transferred loans held for investment with a carrying value of $40.1 million, including impaired loans with a carrying value of $37.2 million, to loans held for sale based on management’s intent with respect to the loans, resulting in $1.2 million in losses due to valuation adjustments and $0.9 million in additional provision for loan losses, respectively. We also reclassified $49.5 million of loans from held for sale to held for investment during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we transferred loans held for investment with a carrying value of $132.9 million to loans held for sale, including impaired loans with a carrying value of $92.3 million, which were transferred based on our decision to sell these loans as part of an overall workout strategy and loans with a carrying value of $31.8 million, which were transferred as part of a sale of loan participations to a third party in conjunction with the transaction surrounding the 2006-A term debt securitization (the “2006-A Trust”). These transfers resulted in $8.7 million in losses due to valuation adjustments and $4.0 million in additional provision for loan losses, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

We recorded no fair value write-downs on non-accrual loans held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and we recorded $5.6 million and $21,000 of fair value write-downs on non-accrual loans held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Loans Held for Investment
 
Loans held for investment are recorded at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan costs or fees and any discounts received or premiums paid on purchased loans. We maintain an allowance for loan losses for loans held for investment, which is calculated based on management’s estimate of incurred loan losses inherent in our loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Activity in the allowance for loan losses related to our loans held for investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was as follows:

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
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 where we expect to encounter a significant delay in the collection of, and/or shortfall in the amount of contractual payments due to us. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying value of impaired loans was $283.9 million and $597.4 million, respectively, net of allocated reserves of $79.1 million and $116.5 million, respectively. Included in these loans as of December 31, 2009 was $223.0 million related to the 2006-A Trust. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had loans with a carrying value of $597.3 million and $517.1 million, respectively, 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 amounts due. Included in these loans as of December 31, 2009 was $18.2 million related to the 2006-A Trust.
 
The average balances of impaired loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $1.2 billion, and were $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The total amounts of interest income that were recognized on impaired loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $4.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively, and were $10.8 million and $25.4 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The amounts of cash basis interest income that were recognized on impaired loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. There was no cash basis interest income recognized on impaired loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. If the non-accrual loans had performed in accordance with their original terms, interest income would have been increased by $32.1 million and $111.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, and $33.7 million and $85.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, loans with an aggregate carrying value, which includes principal, deferred fees and accrued interest, of $278.4 million and $840.3 million, respectively, as of their respective restructuring dates, were involved in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, loans with an aggregate carrying value of $427.7 million and $795.1 million, respectively, as of their respective restructuring dates, were involved in TDRs. Loans involved in these troubled debt restructurings are assessed as impaired, generally for a period of at least one year following the restructuring. A loan that has been involved in a TDR might no longer be assessed as impaired one year subsequent to the restructuring, assuming the loan performs under the restructured terms and the restructured terms were at market. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, all of our loans that were restructured in TDRs were classified as impaired loans.
 
The carrying values of loans that had been restructured in TDRs as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
 
                 
    September 30,
    December 31,
 
    2010     2009  
    ($ in thousands)  
 
Non-accrual
  $ 358,715     $ 314,526  
Accruing
    218,143       111,880  
                 
Total
  $ 576,858     $ 426,406  
                 
 
We recorded charge offs related to these restructured loans of $30.8 million and $125.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
For a loan that accrues interest immediately after that loan is restructured in a TDR, we generally do not charge off a portion of the loan as part of the restructuring. If a portion of a loan has been charged off, we will not accrue interest on the remaining portion of the loan if the charged off portion is still contractually due from the borrower. However, if the charged off portion of the loan is legally forgiven through concessions to the borrower, then the restructured loan may be placed on accrual status if the remaining contractual amounts due on the loan are reasonably assured of collection. In addition, for certain TDRs, especially those involving a commercial real estate

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
loan, we may split the loan into a performing A note and a B note, placing the A note on accrual and charging off the B note. For an amortizing loan with monthly payments, the borrower is required to demonstrate sustained payment performance for a minimum of six months to return a non-accrual restructured loan to accrual status.
 
Our evaluation of whether collection of interest and principal is reasonably assured is based on the facts and circumstances of each individual borrower and our assessment of the borrower’s ability and intent to repay in accordance with the revised loan terms. We generally consider such factors as historical operating performance and payment history of the borrower, indications of support by sponsors and other interest holders, the terms of the modified loan, the value of any collateral securing the loan and projections of future performance of the borrower.
 
The allocated reserves for loans that were involved in TDRs were $35.4 million and $25.1 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Pledged Loans
 
As of September 30, 2010, CapitalSource Bank had loans held for investment with an unpaid principal balance of $52.6 million pledged to the FHLB as collateral for its financing facility. There were no loans pledged as of December 31, 2009.
 
Foreclosed Assets
 
Real Estate Owned (“REO”)
 
When we foreclose on a real estate asset that collateralizes a loan, we record the asset at its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell at the time of foreclosure if the related REO is classified as held for sale. Upon foreclosure, we evaluate the asset’s fair value as compared to the loan’s carrying amount and record a charge off when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds fair value less costs to sell. For REO determined to be held for sale, subsequent valuation adjustments are recorded as a valuation allowance, which is recorded as a component of net expense of real estate owned and other foreclosed assets in our consolidated statements of operations. REO that does not meet the criteria of held for sale is classified as held for use and initially recorded at its fair value. The real estate asset is subsequently depreciated over its estimated useful life. Fair value adjustments on REO held for use are recorded only if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. We estimate fair value at the asset’s liquidation value, based on market conditions.
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $79.5 million and $101.4 million, respectively, of REO classified as held for sale, which was recorded in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Activity in REO held for sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized gains of $3.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, on the sales of REO held for sale as a component of net expense of real estate owned and other foreclosed assets in our consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized a gain of $1.5 million and a loss of $0.3 million, respectively, on the sales of REO as a component of net expense of real estate owned and other foreclosed assets in our consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $1.4 million and $19.7 million, respectively, of REO classified as held for use, which was recorded in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized impairment losses of $2.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively, on REO held for use as a component of net expense of real estate owned and other foreclosed assets in our consolidated statements of operations. We did not record any impairment on REO held for use during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Other Foreclosed Assets
 
When we foreclose on a borrower whose underlying collateral consists of consumer loans, we record the acquired loans at the estimated fair value less costs to sell at the time of foreclosure. At the time of foreclosure, we record charge offs when the carrying amount of the original loan exceeds the fair value of the acquired loans. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $65.7 million and $127.2 million, respectively, of loans acquired through foreclosure, net of valuation allowances of $6.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, which were recorded in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We recorded a provision for loan receivables losses of $1.2 million and $40.1 million related to loans acquired through foreclosure as a component of net expense of real estate owned and other foreclosed assets in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. We did not record a provision for loan receivables losses related to loans acquired through foreclosure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. We did not record any such valuation adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Securities in unrealized loss positions are analyzed individually as part of our ongoing assessment of OTTI, and we do not believe that any unrealized losses in our portfolio as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 represent an OTTI. The losses are primarily related to non-agency MBS and corporate debt securities and are attributable to fluctuations in their market prices due to current market conditions. As of September 30, 2010, our unrealized losses primarily relate to nine non-agency MBS and one corporate debt security. Each non-agency MBS with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2010 was investment grade and had a credit coverage ratio that exceeds 8x, which is the minimum required for purchases of this type of security. For the corporate debt security that has an unrealized loss as of September 30, 2010, financial projections indicate that the issuer will have sufficient liquidity to service upcoming scheduled principal and interest payments to us. We have the ability and the intention to hold these securities until their fair values recover to cost or maturity.

Note 9.   Variable Interest Entities
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings
 
On January 1, 2010, we adopted new accounting guidance surrounding the consolidation of variable interest entities. The new guidance removes the exemption for TDRs as events that may require the reconsideration of whether or not an entity is a variable interest entity. As a result, certain of our TDRs, both those preceding and following the adoption date, were determined to qualify as events requiring the reconsideration of our borrowers as variable interest entities. Through reconsideration, we determined that certain of our borrowers involved in TDRs did not hold sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without subordinated financial support and, as a result, we have concluded that these borrowers were variable interest entities upon the adoption of the new guidance.
 
However, we also determined that we should not consolidate these borrowers because we do not have a controlling financial interest. The equity investors of these borrowers have the power to direct the activities that will have the most significant impact on the economics of these borrowers. These equity investors’ interests also provide them with rights to receive benefits in the borrowers that could potentially be significant. As a result, we have determined that the equity investors continue to have a controlling financial interest in the borrowers subsequent to the restructuring.
 
Our interests in borrowers qualifying as variable interest entities were approximately $548.6 million as of September 30, 2010 and are included in loans held for investment in our consolidated balance sheet. For certain of these borrowers, we may have obligations to fund additional amounts through either unfunded commitments or letters of credit issued to or on behalf of these borrowers. Consequently, our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with these entities was approximately $616.1 million as of September 30, 2010.
 
Term Debt Securitizations
 
In conjunction with our commercial term debt securitizations, we established and contributed loans to separate single purpose entities (collectively, referred to as the “Issuers”). The Issuers are structured to be legally isolated, bankruptcy remote entities. The Issuers issued notes and certificates that are collateralized by the underlying assets of the Issuers, primarily comprising contributed loans. We service the underlying loans contributed to the Issuers and earn periodic servicing fees paid from the cash flows of the underlying loans. We have no legal obligation to repay the outstanding notes or certificates or contribute additional assets to the entities. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the total outstanding balances of these commercial term debt securitizations were $1.2 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively. These amounts include approximately $328.2 million of notes and certificates that we held as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
 
We have determined that the Issuers are variable interest entities, subject to applicable consolidation guidance and have concluded that the entities were designed to pass along risks related to the credit performance of the underlying loan portfolio. Except as set forth below, as a result of our power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the credit performance of the underlying loan portfolio and our economic interests in the Issuers, we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of each of the Issuers. Consequently, except as set forth below, we report the assets and liabilities of the Issuers in our consolidated financial statements, including the underlying loans and the issued notes and certificates held by third parties. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amounts of the consolidated liabilities related to the Issuers were $860.6 million and $2.7 billion, respectively. These amounts are recorded in term debt in our consolidated balance sheets and represent obligations for which there is no recourse to us. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amounts of the consolidated assets related to the Issuers were $1.0 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively. These amounts are recorded in loans held for investment, net in our consolidated balance sheets and relate to assets that can only be used to settle obligations of the Issuers.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we delegated certain of our collateral management and special servicing rights in the 2006-A Trust and sold our equity interest and certain notes issued by the 2006-A Trust for $7.0 million. As a result of the transaction, we determined that we no longer had the power to direct the activities

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
that most significantly impact the economic performance of the 2006-A Trust. In making this determination, we assessed the significance of the servicing and collateral management fees paid to the delegate and concluded that such fees represented an implicit variable interest in the 2006-A Trust. This assessment involved significant judgment surrounding the credit performance and timing of cash flows of the underlying assets of the 2006-A Trust, including the performance of additional assets to be purchased by the 2006-A Trust, pursuant to the terms of the indenture. In October 2010, we assigned our special servicing rights so that we are no longer the named special servicer of the 2006-A Trust.
 
As a result of the determination above, we concluded that we were no longer the primary beneficiary and deconsolidated the 2006-A Trust. We also concluded that the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust qualified as a financial asset transfer and that the transaction resulted in our surrendering control over the financial assets held by the 2006-A Trust. This resulted in the removal of carrying amounts of $801.9 million of loans, $55.7 million of restricted cash and $891.3 million of term debt from our consolidated balance sheet and the recognition of a gain of $16.7 million, recorded in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of beneficial interests in the 2006-A Trust that we had repurchased in the market subsequent to the initial securitization was $13.8 million and were classified as investment securities, available for sale in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, there were no realized or unrealized gains or losses recorded to this beneficial interest from the date of initial purchase. We have no additional funding commitments or other obligations related to these beneficial interests. Except for a guarantee provided to a swap counterparty of the 2006-A Trust, we have not provided any additional financial support to the 2006-A Trust during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This swap had a fair value of $19.7 million as of September 30, 2010. The beneficial interests in the Trust and the swap guarantee comprise our maximum exposure to loss related to the 2006-A Trust.

Credit Facilities
 
Our committed credit facility capacities were $218.3 million and $691.3 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Interest on our credit facility borrowings is charged at variable rates that may be based on one or more of one-month LIBOR, one-month EURIBOR, and/or an applicable commercial paper (“CP”) rate. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, total undrawn capacities under our credit facilities were $140.0 million and $148.5 million, respectively, which were limited by issued and outstanding letters of credit totaling $28.7 million and $55.7 million, respectively.
 
In February 2010, to avoid potential events of default, we amended the covenant for the minimum tangible net worth in our syndicated bank credit facility and our CS Funding III, CS Funding VII and CS Europe credit facilities to require that our tangible net worth be no less than $1.7 billion, plus 70% of net proceeds from the issuance of capital stock and/or conversion of debt after the amendment date. In addition, we modified the maturity date on our syndicated bank credit facility from March 31, 2012 to December 31, 2011 and agreed to reduce the aggregate commitment amount on the facility to $200.0 million as of April 30, 2010, to $185.0 million by January 31, 2011 and thereafter by an additional $15.0 million per month, unless otherwise reduced by the receipt of collateral proceeds. In May 2010, we modified the maturity date on our CS Europe credit facility from May 28, 2010 to May 6, 2011.
 
Term Debt
 
As discussed above, during the three months ended September 30, 2010, we delegated certain of our collateral management and special servicing rights in the 2006-A Trust and sold our equity interest and certain notes issued by the 2006-A Trust for $7.0 million. As a result of this transaction, we concluded that we were no longer the primary beneficiary and deconsolidated the 2006-A Trust, which resulted in the removal of all of its assets and liabilities, including $891.3 million of term debt from our consolidated balance sheet. For additional information on the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, see Note 9, Variable Interest Entities.
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amounts of our term debt related to securitizations were $860.6 million and $2.7 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our 2014 Senior Secured Notes had balances of $285.0 million and $282.9 million respectively, net of discounts of $15.0 million and $17.1 million, respectively.
 
In February 2010, to avoid a potential event of default, we amended our 2007-A term debt securitization to require that our tangible net worth be no less than $1.7 billion, plus 70% of net proceeds from the issuance of capital stock and/or conversion of debt after the amendment. In addition, the amendment required us to reduce the aggregate advances outstanding to $123.5 million and modified the maximum advance rate to 27.2% commencing May 2010, 23.6% commencing August 2010, 19.8% commencing November 2010 and 18.4% commencing February 2011.

Note 12.   Income Taxes
 
We provide for income taxes as a “C” corporation on income earned from operations. Currently, our subsidiaries cannot participate in the filing of a consolidated federal tax return. As a result, certain subsidiaries may have taxable income that cannot be offset by taxable losses or loss carryforwards of other entities. We are subject to federal, foreign, state and local taxation in various jurisdictions.
 
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for 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.
 
Periodic reviews of the carrying amount of deferred tax assets are made to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. All evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated when making this determination. Items considered in this analysis include the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, the reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, historical financial performance, expectations of future earnings and the length of statutory carryforward periods. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earning trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences.
 
In 2009, we established a valuation allowance against a substantial portion of our net deferred tax assets for subsidiaries where we determined that there was significant negative evidence with respect to our ability to realize such assets. Negative evidence we considered in making this determination included the incurrence of operating losses at several of our subsidiaries, and uncertainty regarding the realization of a portion of the deferred tax assets at future points in time. As of September 30, 2010, the total valuation allowance was $429.7 million. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that the remaining recognized net deferred tax assets of $83.5 million as of September 30, 2010 will be realized. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reduction or reversal.
 
We have net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes that can be utilized to offset future taxable income. If we were to undergo a change in ownership of more than 50% of our capital stock over a three-year period as measured under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards, certain built-in losses and other tax attributes recognized in years after the ownership change generally would be limited. The annual limit would equal the product of (a) the applicable long term tax exempt rate and (b) the value of the relevant taxable entity’s capital stock immediately before the ownership change. These change of ownership rules generally focus on ownership changes involving stockholders owning directly or indirectly 5% or more of a company’s outstanding stock, including certain public groups of stockholders as set forth under Section 382 of the Code, and those arising from new stock issuances and other equity

transactions. The determination of whether an ownership change occurs is complex and not entirely within our control. No assurance can be given as to whether we have undergone, or in the future will undergo, an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded income tax benefit of $35.7 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to a net operating loss carryback election made by one of our corporate entities during the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded income tax expense of $97.1 million and $131.2 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate on our consolidated net income and loss from continuing operations was (84.1)% and 11.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and (51.7)% and (24.6)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
We file income tax returns with the United States and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions and generally remain subject to examinations by these tax jurisdictions for tax years 2004 through 2009. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax years 2006 to 2008. Due to the potential for resolution of federal and state examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that CapitalSource’s gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $50.0 million.

Note 15.   Bank Regulatory Capital
 
CapitalSource Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements established by federal and state regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in regulatory agencies initiating certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, CapitalSource Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets and liabilities as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. CapitalSource Bank’s capital amounts and other requirements are also subject to qualitative judgments by its regulators about risk weightings and other factors. See Item 1, Business — Supervision and Regulation, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, for a further description of CapitalSource Bank’s regulatory requirements.
 
Under prompt corrective action regulations, a “well-capitalized” bank must have a total risk-based capital ratio of 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%. Under its approval order from the FDIC, CapitalSource Bank must be “well capitalized” and at all times have a total risk-based capital ratio of 15%, a Tier-1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%. CapitalSource Bank’s capital ratios and the minimum requirements as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

The California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”) approval order requires that CapitalSource Bank, during the first three years of operations, maintain a minimum ratio of tangible shareholder’s equity to total tangible assets of at least 10.00%. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, CapitalSource Bank satisfied the DFI capital ratio requirement with ratios of 12.85% and 12.32%, respectively.
 
Note 16.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had issued $159.5 million and $182.5 million, respectively, in stand-by letters of credit, which expire at various dates over the next fifteen years. If a borrower defaults on its commitment(s) subject to any letter of credit issued under these arrangements, we would be required to meet the borrower’s financial obligation and would seek repayment of that financial obligation from the borrower. These arrangements had carrying amounts totaling $4.6 million and $6.1 million, as reported in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had unfunded commitments to extend credit to our clients of $2.2 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, including unfunded commitments to extend credit by CapitalSource Bank of $959.2 million and $914.9 million, respectively. Additional information on these contingencies is included in Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in our Form 10-K.
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had sold all of our direct real estate investment properties. We are responsible for indemnifying the current owners for any remediation, including costs of removal and disposal of asbestos that existed prior to the sales, through the third anniversary date of the sale. We will recognize any remediation costs if notified by the current owners of their intention to exercise their indemnification rights, however, no such notification has been received to date. As of September 30, 2010, sufficient information was not available to estimate our potential liability for conditional asset retirement obligations as the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties continue to have indeterminable settlement dates.
 
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 17.   Derivative Instruments
 
We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed through the use of derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2010, none of our derivatives were designated as hedging instruments pursuant to GAAP.
 
We enter into various derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. The objective is to manage interest rate sensitivity by modifying the characteristics of certain assets and liabilities to reduce the adverse effect of changes in interest rates. We primarily use interest rate swaps and basis swaps to manage our interest rate risks.
 
Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate cash flows, based on a specific notional amount as well as fixed and variable interest rates, are exchanged over a prescribed period. To minimize the economic effect of interest rate fluctuations specific to our fixed rate debt and certain fixed rate loans, we enter into interest rate swap agreements whereby either we pay a fixed interest rate and receive a variable interest rate or we pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate over a prescribed period.
 
We also enter into basis swaps to eliminate risk between our LIBOR-based term debt securitizations and the prime-based loans pledged as collateral for that debt. These basis swaps modify our exposure to interest rate risk typically by converting our prime rate loans to a one-month LIBOR rate. The objective of this swap activity is to protect us from risk that interest collected under the prime rate loans will not be sufficient to service the interest due under the one-month LIBOR based term debt.
 
We enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency denominated loans we originate against foreign currency fluctuations. The objective is to manage the uncertainty of future foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These forward exchange contracts provide for a fixed exchange rate which has the effect of reducing or eliminating changes to anticipated cash flows to be received from foreign currency-denominated loan transactions as the result of changes to exchange rates.
 
Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such agreements. This risk exposure consists primarily of the termination value of agreements where we are in a favorable position. We manage the credit risk associated with various derivative agreements through counterparty credit review and monitoring procedures. We obtain collateral from certain 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. We also posted collateral of $10.0 million related to counterparty requirements for foreign exchange contracts at

Note 18.   Fair Value Measurements
 
We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain of our assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Investment securities, available-for-sale, warrants and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, we may be required, in specific circumstances, to measure certain of our

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including investment securities, held-to-maturity, loans held for sale, loans held for investment, REO, and certain other investments.
 
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 assets and liabilities could result in a different estimate of fair value at the measurement date.
 
Assets and Liabilities
 
Cash
 
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are recorded at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these instruments have short-term maturities and interest rates that approximate market.
 
Investment Securities, Available-for-Sale
 
Investment securities, available-for-sale, consist of U.S. Treasury bills, Agency discount notes, Agency callable notes, Agency debt, Agency MBS, Non-agency MBS, and corporate debt securities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as available-for-sale securities. Fair value adjustments on these investments are generally recorded through other comprehensive income. However, if impairment on an investment, available-for-sale is deemed to be other-than-temporary, all or a portion of the fair value adjustment may be reported in earnings. The securities are valued using quoted prices from external market participants, including pricing services. If quoted prices are not available, the fair value is determined using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent pricing models, which utilize observable market data such as benchmark yields, reported trades and issuer spreads. These securities are primarily classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Investment securities, available-for-sale, also consist of collateralized loan obligations, which include the beneficial interests we hold in the deconsolidated 2006-A Trust, and corporate debt securities. which consist primarily of corporate bonds. whose values are determined using internally developed valuation models. These models may utilize discounted cash flow techniques for which key inputs include the timing and amount of future cash flows and market yields. Market yields are based on comparisons to other instruments for which market data is available. These models may also utilize industry valuation benchmarks, such as multiples of EBITDA, to determine a value for the underlying enterprise. Given the lack of active and observable trading in the market, our collateralized loan obligations and corporate debt securities are classified in Level 3.
 
Investment securities, available-for-sale, also consist of equity securities which are valued using the stock price of the underlying company in which we hold our investment. Our equity securities are classified in Level 1 or 2 depending on the level of activity within the market.
 
Investment Securities, Held-to-Maturity
 
Investment securities, held-to-maturity consist of commercial mortgage-backed-securities. These securities are generally recorded at amortized cost, but are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis to the extent we record an OTTI on the securities. Fair value measurements are determined using quoted prices from external market

participants, including pricing services. If quoted prices are not available, the fair value is determined using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent pricing models, which utilize observable market data such as benchmark yields, reported trades and issuer spreads.
 
Commercial Real Estate “A” Participation Interest
 
The “A” Participation Interest is recorded at outstanding principal, net of the unamortized purchase discount. For disclosure purposes, the fair value is estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using rates currently being offered for securities with similar characteristics as the underlying collateral.
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, with fair value adjustments recorded on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value 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 also 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 fair value hierarchy, while fair values determined through internally developed valuation models are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Loans Held for Investment
 
Loans held for investment are recorded at outstanding principal, net of any deferred fees and unamortized purchase discounts or premiums and net of allowance for loan losses. We may record fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis when we have determined that it is necessary to record a specific reserve against a loan and we measure such specific reserve using the fair value of the loan’s collateral. To determine the fair value of the collateral, we may employ different approaches depending on the type of collateral.
 
In cases where our collateral is a fixed or other tangible asset, including commercial real estate, our determination of the appropriate method to use to measure fair value depends on several factors including the type of collateral that we are evaluating, the age of the most recent appraisal performed on the collateral, and the time required to obtain an updated appraisal. Typically, we obtain an updated third-party appraisal to estimate fair value using external valuation specialists.
 
For impaired loans, we typically obtain an updated appraisal as of the date the loan is deemed impaired to measure the amount of impairment. In situations where we are unable to obtain an updated appraisal within the necessary timeframe, we will consider internally developed estimates that utilize assumptions and calculations similar to those customarily utilized by third-party appraisers. If we are unable to obtain an updated appraisal on the date of impairment within the necessary timeframe, we may seek to obtain an updated appraisal shortly thereafter to confirm our internally developed estimates.
 
We may make adjustments to outdated appraisals by analyzing the changes in market conditions and asset performance since the appraisal was performed. The appraisal value may be discounted by a percentage that is determined by analyzing the change in market conditions since the appraisal, consulting databases, comparable market sale prices, brokers’ opinions of value and other relevant data.
 
In cases where our collateral is not a fixed or tangible asset, we typically use industry valuation benchmarks to determine the value of the asset or the underlying enterprise.
 
When fair value adjustments are recorded on loans held for investment, we typically classify them in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
We determine the fair value estimates of loans held for investment for fair value disclosures primarily using external valuation specialists. These valuation specialists group loans based on credit rating and collateral type, and

the fair value is estimated utilizing discounted cash flow techniques. The valuations take into account current market rates of return, contractual interest rates, maturities and assumptions regarding expected future cash flows. Within each respective loan grouping, current market rates of return are determined based on quoted prices for similar instruments that are actively traded, adjusted as necessary to reflect the illiquidity of the instrument. This approach requires the use of significant judgment surrounding current market rates of return, liquidity adjustments and the timing and amounts of future cash flows.
 
Other Investments
 
Other investments accounted for under the cost or equity methods of accounting are carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to the extent that they are determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired during the period. As there is rarely an observable price or market for such investments, we determine fair value using internally developed models. Our models utilize industry valuation benchmarks, such as multiples of EBITDA, to determine a value for the underlying enterprise. We reduce this value by the value of 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. Fair value measurements related to these investments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Warrants
 
Warrants are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and generally relate to privately held companies. Warrants for privately held companies are valued based on the estimated value of the underlying enterprise. This fair value is derived 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 privately held company warrants, they are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
FHLB SF Stock
 
Our investment in FHLB stock is recorded at historical cost. FHLB stock does not have a readily determinable fair value, but may be sold back to the FHLB at its par value with stated notice; however, the FHLB SF has currently ceased repurchases of excess stock. The investment in FHLB SF stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on, among other things, the capital adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. No impairment losses have been recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
 
Derivatives are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and primarily relate 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. Instead, derivatives are measured using market observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves, volatilities and basis spreads. We also consider counterparty credit risk in valuing our derivatives. We typically classify our derivatives in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Real Estate Owned
 
REO is initially recorded at its estimated fair value at the time of foreclosure. REO held for sale is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value subsequent to the date of foreclosure, with fair value adjustments recorded on a nonrecurring basis. REO held for use is recorded at its carrying amount, net of accumulated depreciation, with fair value adjustments recorded on a nonrecurring basis if the carrying amount of the real estate is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. When available, the fair value of REO is determined using actual market transactions. When market transactions are not available, the fair value of REO is typically determined based upon recent

appraisals by third parties. We may or may not adjust these third party appraisal values based on our own internally developed judgments and estimates. To the extent that market transactions or third party appraisals 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. Fair values determined through actual market transactions are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy while fair values determined through third party appraisals and through internally developed valuation models are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Other Foreclosed Assets
 
When we foreclose on a borrower whose underlying collateral consists of consumer loans, we record the acquired loans at the estimated fair value at the time of foreclosure. Valuation of that collateral, which often is a pool of many small balance loans, is typically performed utilizing internally developed estimates. These estimates rely upon default and recovery rates, market discount rates and the underlying value of collateral supporting the consumer loans. Underlying collateral values may be supported by appraisals or broker price opinions. When fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans, we typically classify them in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Deposits
 
Deposits are carried at historical cost. The carrying amounts of deposits for savings and money market accounts and brokered certificates of deposit are deemed to approximate fair value as they either have no stated maturities or short-term maturities. Certificates of deposit are grouped by maturity date, and the fair value is estimated utilizing discounted cash flow techniques. The interest rates applied are rates currently being offered for similar certificates of deposit within the respective maturity groupings.
 
Credit Facilities
 
The fair value of our credit facilities is estimated based on current market interest rates for similar debt instruments adjusted for the remaining time to maturity.
 
Term Debt
 
Term debt comprises term debt securitizations and our 2014 Senior Secured Notes. For disclosure purposes, the fair values of our term debt securitizations and 2014 Senior Secured Notes are determined based on actual prices from recent third party purchases of our debt when available and based on indicative price quotes received from various market participants when recent transactions have not occurred.
 
Other Borrowings
 
Our other borrowings comprise convertible debt and subordinated debt. For disclosure purposes, the fair value of our convertible debt is determined from quoted market prices in active markets or, when the market is not active, from quoted market prices for debt with similar maturities. The fair value of our subordinated debt is determined based on recent third party purchases of our debt when available and based on indicative price quotes received from market participants when recent transactions have not occurred.

Assets Carried at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As described above, these adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write downs of individual assets. The table below provides the fair values of those assets for which nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, classified by their position in the fair value hierarchy. The table also provides the gains (losses) related to those assets recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity on potentially favorable terms. The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of our financial instruments are described above.
 
The table below provides fair value estimates for our financial instruments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, excluding financial assets and liabilities for which carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value and those which are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Note 19.   Segment Data
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we operated as two reportable segments: 1) CapitalSource Bank and 2) Other Commercial Finance. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we operated as three reportable segments: 1) CapitalSource Bank, 2) Other Commercial Finance, and 3) Healthcare Net Lease. Our CapitalSource Bank segment comprises our commercial lending and banking business activities, and our Other Commercial Finance segment comprises our loan portfolio and residential mortgage business activities in the Parent Company. Our Healthcare Net Lease segment comprised our direct real estate investment business activities, which we exited completely with the sale of all of the assets related to this segment, and, consequently, we have presented the financial condition and results of operations for this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For comparative purposes, overhead and other intercompany allocations have been reclassified from the Healthcare Net Lease segment into the Other Commercial Finance segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Overview
 
CapitalSource Inc. (“CapitalSource,” and together with its subsidiaries other than CapitalSource Bank, the “Parent Company”) is a commercial lender which, primarily through our wholly owned subsidiary, CapitalSource Bank, provides financial products to small and middle market businesses nationwide and provides depository products and services in southern and central California. Substantially all new loans are originated at CapitalSource Bank. Our commercial lending activities in the Parent Company consist primarily of satisfying existing commitments made prior to CapitalSource Bank’s formation and receiving payments on our existing loan portfolio. Consequently, we expect that our loans at the Parent Company will gradually run off, while CapitalSource Bank’s loan portfolio will continue to grow. As of September 30, 2010, we had 1,340 loans outstanding, and our total loans had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $6.6 billion. Included in the loan portfolio are certain loans shared between CapitalSource Bank and the Parent Company.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we operated as two reportable segments: 1) CapitalSource Bank and 2) Other Commercial Finance. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we operated as three reportable segments: 1) CapitalSource Bank, 2) Other Commercial Finance, and 3) Healthcare Net Lease. Our CapitalSource Bank segment comprises our commercial lending and banking business activities, and our Other Commercial Finance segment comprises our loan portfolio and residential mortgage business activities in the Parent Company. Our Healthcare Net Lease segment comprised our direct real estate investment business activities, which we exited completely with the sale of all of the assets related to this segment and consequently, we have presented the financial condition and results of operations within our Healthcare Net Lease segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For additional information, see Note 19, Segment Data, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Through our CapitalSource Bank segment activities, CapitalSource Bank provides financial products primarily to small and middle market businesses across the United States and also offers depository products and services in southern and central California, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the maximum amounts permitted by regulation. As of September 30, 2010, CapitalSource Bank had 895 loans outstanding, with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $3.7 billion.
 
Through our Other Commercial Finance segment activities, the Parent Company has provided financial products primarily to small and middle market businesses. As of September 30, 2010, our Other Commercial Finance segment had 484 loans outstanding, and the Parent Company held total loans having an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $2.9 billion.
 
Deconsolidation of the 2006-A term debt securitization
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we delegated certain of our collateral management and special servicing rights in our 2006-A term debt securitization (the “2006-A Trust”) and sold our equity interest and certain notes issued by the 2006-A Trust for $7.0 million. As a result of this transaction, we concluded that we were no longer the primary beneficiary and deconsolidated the 2006-A Trust, which resulted in the removal of all of its assets and liabilities, including $801.9 million of loans, $55.7 million of restricted cash and $891.3 million of term debt from our consolidated balance sheet. Consequently, comparisons made to our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflect the impact of this deconsolidation on certain categories of income and expense in our consolidated income statements, including interest income, interest expense and the provision for loan losses. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we assigned our special servicing rights so that we are no longer the named special servicer of the 2006-A Trust.
 
Exit of skilled nursing home ownership business
 
In June 2010, we completed the sale of our long-term healthcare facilities to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. As a result of these sales, we exited the skilled nursing home ownership business. Consequently, we have presented the financial condition and results of operations for this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, the results of the discontinued operations include the activities of other healthcare facilities that have been sold since the inception of the business.

Bank holding company application
 
We are pursuing our strategy of converting CapitalSource Bank to a commercial bank and becoming a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Subject to forthcoming conversations with Federal Reserve staff, we expect to file an application to become a bank holding company in the first quarter of 2011. We also plan to file with the FDIC and the California Department of Financial Institutions to convert the existing industrial charter of CapitalSource Bank to a commercial charter. For such conversion to become effective, we must be approved by the Federal Reserve as a bank holding company. There is no assurance that any of the foregoing regulators will approve our applications, in which case CapitalSource Bank would not convert to a commercial bank.
 
Explanation of Reporting Metrics
 
Interest Income.  In our CapitalSource Bank segment, interest income represents interest earned on loans, the senior participation interest in a pool of commercial real estate loans and related assets (the “A” Participation Interest), investment securities and cash and cash equivalents, as well as amortization of loan origination fees, net of the direct costs of origination. In our Other Commercial Finance segment, interest income represents interest earned on loans, coupon interest, other investments and cash and cash equivalents. In addition, interest income includes amortization of loan origination fees, net of direct costs of origination and the amortization of purchase discounts and premiums, which are amortized into income using the interest method. Although the majority of our loans charge interest at variable rates that adjust periodically, we also have loans charging interest at fixed rates.
 
Fee Income.  In our CapitalSource Bank and Other Commercial Finance segments, fee income represents net fee income earned from our loan operations. Fee income includes prepayment-related fees as well as other fees charged to borrowers.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense is the amount paid on deposits and borrowings, including the amortization of deferred financing fees and debt discounts. In our CapitalSource Bank segment, interest expense includes interest paid to depositors and interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank System (“FHLB”) of San Francisco (“FHLB SF”) borrowings. In our Other Commercial Finance segment, interest expense includes borrowing costs associated with credit facilities, term debt, convertible debt and subordinated debt. The majority of our borrowings charge interest at variable rates based primarily on one-month LIBOR or CP rates plus a margin. Our 2014 Senior Secured Notes, convertible debt and three series of our subordinated debt 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 our CapitalSource Bank and Other Commercial Finance segments. The provision for loan losses is the periodic cost of maintaining an appropriate allowance for loan losses inherent in our commercial lending portfolio. 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.
 
Other (Expense) Income.  In our CapitalSource Bank and Other Commercial Finance segments, other income (expense) consists of gains (losses) on the sale of loans, gains (losses) on the sale of debt and equity investments, dividends, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on certain investments, other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities, available for sale, gains (losses) on derivatives, due diligence deposits forfeited, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of our equity interests in certain non-consolidated entities, servicing income, income from our management of various loans held by third parties, gains (losses) on debt extinguishment at the Parent Company, net expense of real estate owned and other foreclosed assets, and other miscellaneous fees and expenses not attributable to our commercial lending and banking operations.
 
Operating Expenses.  In our CapitalSource Bank and Other Commercial Finance segments, operating expenses include compensation and benefits, professional fees, travel, rent, insurance, depreciation and amortization, marketing and other general and administrative expenses, including deposit insurance premiums.

Income Taxes.  We provide for income taxes as a “C” corporation on income earned from operations. Currently, our subsidiaries cannot participate in the filing of a consolidated federal tax return. As a result, certain subsidiaries may have taxable income that cannot be offset by taxable losses or loss carryforwards of other entities. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to federal, foreign, state and local taxation in various jurisdictions.
 
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for 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.
 
Periodic reviews of the carrying amount of deferred tax assets are made to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. All evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated when making this determination. Items considered in this analysis include the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, the reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, historical financial performance, expectations of future earnings and the length of statutory carryforward periods. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earning trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences.
 
In 2009, we established a valuation allowance against a substantial portion of our net deferred tax assets for subsidiaries where we determined that there was significant negative evidence with respect to our ability to realize such assets. Negative evidence we considered in making this determination included the incurrence of operating losses at several of our subsidiaries, and uncertainty regarding the realization of a portion of the deferred tax assets at future points in time. As of September 30, 2010, the total valuation allowance was $429.7 million. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reduction or reversal. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that the remaining recognized net deferred tax assets of $83.5 million as of September 30, 2010 will be realized.
 
Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
 
Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were impacted by the global recession, a challenging credit market environment and the availability of liquidity. As further described below, the most significant factors influencing our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were:
 
  •  Decreased provision for loan losses;
 
  •  Deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust;
 
  •  Changes in income tax provisions (benefits) due to the establishment in 2009 of valuation allowances with respect to our deferred tax assets, and a net operating loss carryback in 2010 of one of our corporate entities;
 
  •  Decreased balance of our commercial lending portfolio;
 
  •  Gains and losses on our investments;
 
  •  Gains and losses on debt extinguishment;
 
  •  Decreased operating expenses;
 
  •  Net expense of real estate owned and other foreclosed assets;
 
  •  Sale of our residential mortgage investment portfolio in 2009;
 
  •  Losses on derivatives;
 
  •  Changes in lending and borrowing spreads; and
 
  •  Divestiture of our Healthcare Net Lease segment.

Discontinued Operations
 
In June 2010, we completed the sale of our long-term healthcare facilities and exited the skilled nursing home ownership business. As a result, all consolidated comparisons below reflect the continuing results of our operations. Income from discontinued operations increased to $31.2 million, including a gain on disposal of $21.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $39.3 million, including a gain on disposal of $2.1 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For additional information, see Note 3, Discontinued Operations, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Consolidated operating expenses decreased to $54.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $64.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $6.2 million decrease in professional fees and a $2.7 million decrease in general administrative expenses, which primarily include rent, depreciation and amortization, and marketing expenses.
 
Consolidated operating expenses decreased to $171.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $201.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $16.2 million decrease in professional fees, a $7.0 million decrease in compensation and benefits and a $6.9 million decrease in general administrative expenses, which included a $2.0 million decrease in FDIC premiums.
 
Income Taxes
 
Consolidated income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $35.7 million, compared to an income tax expense of $97.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The 2009 tax expense was caused primarily by the establishment of a valuation allowance at one of our corporate entities, and the 2010 tax benefit was primarily due to a net operating loss carryback election made by of one of our corporate entities during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Consolidated income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was a benefit of $18.8 million, compared to an income tax expense of $131.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The 2009 tax expense was caused primarily by valuation allowances established for several of corporate entities, and the 2010 tax benefit was primarily due to a net operating loss carryback election made by one of our corporate entities during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest Income
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Total interest income increased to $85.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $77.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, with an average yield on interest-earning assets of 6.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 5.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses
 
Our provision for loan losses is based on our evaluation of the adequacy of the existing allowance for loan losses in relation to total loan portfolio and our periodic assessment of the inherent risks relating to the loan portfolio resulting from our review of selected individual loans. For details of activity in our provision for loan losses, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Operating expenses increased to $28.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $25.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $3.8 million increase in loan sourcing fees, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in compensation and benefits.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Operating expenses increased to $82.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $75.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to an $11.4 million increase in loan sourcing fees, partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in FDIC premiums.
 
CapitalSource Bank relies on the Parent Company to source loans, provide loan origination due diligence services and perform certain underwriting services. For these services, CapitalSource Bank pays the Parent Company loan sourcing fees based upon the commitment amount of each new loan funded by CapitalSource Bank during the period. We do not capitalize loan sourcing fees. These fees are eliminated in consolidation. These fees are included in other operating expenses and were $9.7 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $24.8 million and $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. CapitalSource Bank subleases from the Parent Company office space in several locations and also leases space to the Parent Company in other facilities in which CapitalSource Bank is the primary lessee. Each sublease arrangement was established based on then market rates for comparable subleases.

Other Income
 
CapitalSource Bank provides loan servicing for loans and other assets, which are owned by the Parent Company and third parties, for which it receives fees based on the number of loans or other assets serviced. Loans being serviced by CapitalSource Bank for the benefit of others were $5.9 billion and $7.7 billion as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, of which $2.9 billion and $5.2 billion were owned by the Parent Company.
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Other income, which primarily consists of loan servicing fees paid to CapitalSource Bank by the Parent Company, decreased to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in foreign exchange gains and a $2.3 million decrease in loan servicing fees paid by the Parent Company to CapitalSource Bank. The decrease in loan servicing fees was primarily a result of the sale of the remaining direct real estate investments and a decrease in the Parent Company’s loan portfolio. The decrease in other income was partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in losses on derivatives.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Other income decreased to $18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to a $2.4 decrease in foreign exchange gains and a $6.2 million decrease in loan servicing fees paid by the Parent Company to CapitalSource Bank. This decrease in loan servicing fees was primarily a result of the sale of the remaining direct real estate investments and a decrease in the Parent Company’s loan portfolio. The decrease in other income was partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in losses on derivatives.

Interest Income
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Interest income decreased to $68.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $131.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a decrease in average total interest-earning assets, including the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust in July 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, our average balance of interest-earning assets decreased by $4.2 billion, or 52.8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009, due to the derecognition of mortgage related receivables related to the sale of our beneficial interests in securitization special purpose entities in December 2009, the derecognition of loans related to the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust and the runoff of parent company loans. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 7.64% from 6.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in the interest component of yield to

Table of Contents

7.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from 6.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily related to the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust which included a large pool of nonaccrual loans and had a lower yield than the rest of the loan portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, our lending spread to average one-month LIBOR was 8.61% compared to 7.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. 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 loans that pay down or pay off, non-accrual loans and modifications of interest rates on existing loans.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Interest income decreased to $245.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $446.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a decrease in average total interest-earning assets and a decrease in yield on average interest-earning assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our average balance of interest-earning assets decreased by $3.7 billion, or 43.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, due to the deconsolidation of mortgage related receivables related to the sale of our beneficial interests in securitization special purpose entities in December 2009, the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust and the runoff of parent company loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 7.13% from 7.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the interest component of yield to 6.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from 6.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Fee Income
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Fee income increased to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, with average yields on interest-earning assets of 0.45% and 0.17%, respectively, primarily due to an increase in collateral management fees and prepayment fees, partially offset by a decrease in unused line fees.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Fee income increased to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, with average yields on interest-earning assets of 0.34% and 0.18%, respectively, primarily due to an increase in prepayment fees and collateral management fees, partially offset by a decrease in unused line fees.
 
Interest Expense
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
The decrease in interest expense to $42.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $78.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities of $4.3 billion, or 62.9%, primarily due to the deconsolidation of term debt related to the sale of our beneficial interests in securitization special purpose entities in December 2009, combined with the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust in July 2010. Our cost of borrowings increased to 6.65% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 4.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as a result of higher deferred financing fee amortization and the change in the mix of our borrowing composition due the sale of our beneficial interests in securitization special purpose entities in December 2009 and the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, which had lower borrowing costs than the rest of our borrowings.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
The decrease in interest expense to $136.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $245.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities of $4.0 billion, or 53.2%, primarily due to the deconsolidation of term debt related to the sale of

Table of Contents

our beneficial interests in securitization special purpose entities in December 2009, combined with the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust in July 2010. Our cost of borrowings increased to 5.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from 4.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as a result of higher deferred financing fee amortization and the change in the mix of our borrowing composition due to the deconsolidation of term debt and the 2006-A Trust, which had lower borrowing costs than the rest of the portfolio, partially offset by lower interest rates as LIBOR dropped.
 
Net Finance Margin
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Net finance margin was 3.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 0.39% from 2.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, which removed lower yielding loans and lower interest-bearing debt from our balance sheet. Net finance spread was 0.99% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 1.13% from 2.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in our cost of borrowings, partially offset by an increase in interest component of yield.

Provision for Loan Losses
 
Our provision for loan losses is based on our evaluation of the adequacy of the existing allowance for loan losses in relation to total loan portfolio and our periodic assessment of the inherent risks relating to the loan portfolio resulting from our review of selected individual loans. For details of activity in our provision for loan losses, see Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses section.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Operating expenses decreased to $40.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $51.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a $6.1 million decrease in professional fees, a $2.3 million decrease in loan servicing fees paid to CapitalSource Bank, and a $1.7 million decrease in incentive compensation. Operating expenses as a percentage of average total assets increased to 4.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 2.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to the decrease in total assets as a result of the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, the sale of our mortgage related receivables during 2009 and the runoff of parent company loans.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Operating expenses decreased to $131.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $162.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a $15.9 million decrease in professional fees, a $6.4 million decrease in compensation and benefits, and a $6.2 million decrease in loan servicing fees paid to CapitalSource Bank. Operating expenses as a percentage of average total assets increased to 3.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 2.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the decrease in total assets as a result of the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, the sale of our mortgage related receivables during 2009 and the runoff of parent company loans.

Other Income (Expense)
 
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $45.7 million compared to other expense of $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The change in other income was primarily due to gains on investments, the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust and decreases in losses on derivatives, partially offset by an increase in losses on foreign currency exchange. Further explanation on the change is described below.
 
Gains on investments were $29.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to losses of $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The gains were primarily due to $12.5 million in dividend income, $9.3 million in realized gains on other investment securities and $8.7 million in realized gains on the sales of cost-basis investments, partially offset by $0.5 million of other-than-temporary impairment on cost-basis investments. Losses on derivatives were $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. There were no gains or losses on debt extinguishment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to an $11.5 million gain on debt extinguishment for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Other income increased to $24.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This change was primarily due to a $16.7 million gain recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2010 on the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, a $5.0 million increase in loan origination fees, a $3.9 million decrease in losses on loan sales, and a $3.4 million increase in earnings on equity investments, partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in losses on foreign currency exchange.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Other expense decreased to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $86.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to gains on investments, increases in loan origination fees, decreases in losses on trading securities, gains on foreign currency exchange and decreases in losses on loan sales, partially offset by decreases in gains on our residential mortgage investment portfolio and increases in net expense of real estate owned and other foreclosed assets.
 
Gains on investments were $46.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to losses of $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This change was primarily due to a $19.7 million increase in realized gains on cost-basis investments, a decrease in other-than-temporary impairment on cost-basis investments of $8.7 million, a $16.5 million increase in dividend income, and a $13.2 million decrease in impairments of our available-for-sale investments. Losses on derivatives were $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Net expense of real estate owned and other assets increased to $91.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a $36.8 million increase in provision for loan receivables losses related loans acquired through foreclosure, a $21.0 million increase in unrealized losses on real estate owned and a $12.9 million increase in direct real estate impairments, partially offset by a $14.7 million increase in realized gains on real estate owned.
 
Other income was $50.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to other expense of $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This change was primarily due to a $1.1 million gain on debt extinguishment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a $41.1 million loss on debt extinguishment for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a $16.7 million gain on the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, a $15.0 million increase in loan origination fees, a $7.8 million increase in gains on foreign currency exchange, and a $7.3 million decrease in losses on loan sales. These increases were partially offset by $15.3 million in gains on our residential mortgage investment portfolio and gains of $14.4 million on trading securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to no activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as these securities were sold in the first quarter of 2009.

Approximately 78% of the CapitalSource Bank loan portfolio bears interest at adjustable rates pegged to an interest rate index plus a specified margin and is accruing interest. Approximately 52% of the portfolio is subject to an interest rate floor and is accruing interest. Due to low market interest rates as of September 30, 2010, substantially all loans with interest rate floors were bearing interest at such floors. The weighted average spread between the floor rate and the fully indexed rate on the loans was 2.42% as of September 30, 2010. To the extent the underlying indices subsequently increase, CapitalSource Bank’s interest yield on this portfolio will not rise as quickly due to the effect of the interest rate floors.

As of September 30, 2010, approximately 34% of the adjustable rate loan portfolio is subject to an interest rate floor and were accruing interest. Due to low market interest rates as of September 30, 2010, substantially all loans with interest rate floors were bearing interest at such floors. The weighted average spread between the floor rate and the fully indexed rate on the loans was 2.36% as of September 30, 2010. To the extent the underlying indices subsequently increase, the interest yield on these adjustable rate loans will not rise as quickly due to the effect of the interest rate floors.

Potential problem loans are loans that are not considered one of the non-performing loan categories, as disclosed above, but are loans in which management is aware of information regarding potential credit problems of a borrower that leads to serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as non-performing. We had no potential problem loans as of September 30, 2010.
 
Of our non-accrual loans, $35.1 million and $182.5 million were 30-89 days delinquent, and $354.3 million and $388.5 million were over 90 days delinquent as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Accruing loans 30-89 days delinquent were $21.7 million and $95.3 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Many of our real estate construction loans include an interest reserve that is established upon origination of the loan. We recognize interest income from the reserve during the construction period as long as the interest is deemed collectible. As part of our ongoing credit review process, we monitor the construction of the underlying real estate to determine whether the project is progressing as originally planned. If we determine that adverse changes have occurred such that full payment of principal and interest is no longer expected, we will place the loan on nonaccrual status and establish a specific reserve or charge off a portion of the principal balance, as appropriate.
 
We maintain servicing procedures for real estate construction loans, the objective of which is to maintain the proper relationship between the loan amount funded and the value of the collateral securing the loan. The principal servicing tasks include, but are not limited to:
 
  •  Monitoring construction of the project to evaluate the work in place, quality of construction (compliance with plans and specifications) and adequacy of the budget to complete the project. We generally use a third party consultant for this evaluation, but also maintain frequent contact with the borrower to obtain updates on the project.
 
  •  Monitoring compliance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, which contains important construction and leasing provisions.
 
  •  Reviewing and approving advance requests pursuant to the loan agreement which establishes the frequency, conditions and process for making advances. Typically, each loan advance is conditioned upon funding only for work in place, certification by the construction consultant, and sufficient funds remaining in the loan budget to complete the project.
 
Additionally, our risk rating policies provide that the assignment of a risk rating should consider whether the capitalization of interest may be masking other performance related issues. The adequacy of the interest reserve is generally evaluated when a risk rating conclusion is required or rendered, with attention paid to the underlying value of the collateral and its ongoing support of the transaction. Obtaining updated third-party valuations is considered when significant negative variances to expected performance exist.
 
Twelve of the eighteen loans that comprise our real estate construction portfolio as of September 30, 2010 have been extended, renewed or restructured since origination. These modifications have occurred for various reasons including, but not limited to, changes in business plans, workout efforts that were best achieved via a restructuring or discounted pay offs.
 
In considering the performing status of a real estate construction loan, the current payment of interest, whether in cash or through an interest reserve, is only one of the factors used in our analysis. Our impairment analysis considers the loan’s maturity, the likelihood of a restructuring of the loan and if that restructuring constitutes a TDR, whether the borrower is current on interest and principal payments, the condition of underlying assets and the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan at market terms. Although an interest reserve may mitigate a delinquency that could cause impairment, other issues with the loan or borrower could lead to an impairment determination. Based on the nature of the loan, impairment is then measured based on a fair market or discounted cash flow value to assess the current value of the loan relative to the principal balance. If the valuation analysis indicates that repayment in full is doubtful, the loan will be placed on non-accrual status and designated as non-performing.
 
Interest income recognized on the real estate construction loan portfolio was $3.9 million and $22.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $17.8 million and $59.2 million for the three and nine

months ended September 30, 2009, respectively,. Cumulative capitalized interest on the real estate construction loan portfolio was $299.1 million and $277.3 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $251.2 million, or 78.6%, and $477.1 million, or 39.0%, respectively, of the total real estate construction loan portfolio was non-performing.
 
The decrease in the non-performing loan balance from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010 is primarily due to the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust. Non-performing loans included in the 2006-A Trust as of December 31, 2009 were $227.5 million, including $207.7 million of non-accrual loans, $5.0 million of accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, and $14.8 million of TDRs.

Our allowance for loan losses decreased by $193.1 million to $393.6 million as of September 30, 2010 from $586.7 million as of December 31, 2009. This decrease was comprised of a $155.7 million decrease in general reserves on non-impaired loans and a $37.4 million decrease in specific reserves on impaired loans, primarily due to the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust as further described below.
 
The decrease in the general reserves was primarily due to the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, which resulted in the removal of $91.9 million of general reserves related to those loans held for investment which were derecognized from our balance sheet during the period. The remaining $63.8 million of the decrease in general reserves relates to a reduction in the amount of unpaid principal balance of non-impaired loans due to loan payoffs, principal payments, loan sales, loans newly classified as impaired, and lower expected losses in this portfolio. As of December 31, 2009, the unpaid principal balance of non-impaired commercial loans was $7.1 billion and the general reserves allocated to that portfolio were $470.2 million, representing an effective reserve percentage of 6.6%. As of September 30, 2010, the unpaid principal balance of non-impaired commercial loans had decreased to $5.6 billion and the general reserves allocated to that portfolio had decreased to $314.5 million, representing an effective reserve percentage of 5.6%. The lower effective reserve percentage reflects the lower historical losses generally experienced by the non-impaired loans remaining in our portfolio as of September 30, 2010, as there

continues to be a shift in the mix of loans as a result of charge offs and pay downs in the legacy portfolio, offset by new originations with lower inherent losses.
 
The decrease in the specific reserves was primarily related to $84.4 million of charge offs taken on impaired loans and the removal of $46.3 million in specific reserves due to the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of $58.5 million of specific reserves on impaired loans outstanding as of September 30, 2010. The carrying values of our impaired loans reflect incurred losses that we expect to realize.
 
We employ a formal quarterly process to both identify impaired loans and record appropriate specific reserves based on available collateral and other borrower information. As of December 31, 2009, the total unpaid principal balance of impaired loans was $1.3 billion with specific reserves attributable to that portfolio of $116.5 million. As of December 31, 2009, $442.4 million of the original legal balance of that portfolio had been previously charged off as full collection was deemed remote for portions of these loans. The total prior charge offs and specific reserves as of December 31, 2009 of $559.0 million represented an expected total loss of 33.0% of the original legal balance of $1.7 billion (the December 31, 2009 balance plus amounts previously charged off). As of September 30, 2010, the total unpaid principal balance of impaired loans was $1.0 billion with a specific reserve attributable to that portfolio of $79.1 million. As of September 30, 2010, $526.0 million of the original legal balance of that portfolio had been previously charged off as full collection was deemed remote for portions of these loans. The total prior charge offs and specific reserves as of September 30, 2010 of $605.1 million represented an expected total loss of 39.3% of the legal balance of $1.5 billion (the September 30, 2010 balance plus amounts previously charged off).

Potential problem loans are loans that are not considered one of the non-performing loan categories, as disclosed above, but are loans in which management is aware of information regarding potential credit problems of a borrower that leads to serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as non-performing. We had no potential problem loans as of September 30, 2010.
 
Of our non-accrual loans, $15.6 million and $28.6 million were 30-89 days delinquent, and $148.9 million and $84.1 million were over 90 days delinquent as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, loans with an aggregate carrying value of $145.9 million and $343.3 million, respectively, as of their respective restructuring dates, were involved in troubled debt restructurings. Loans involved in these troubled debt restructurings are assessed as impaired, generally for a period of at least one year following the restructuring, assuming the loan performs under the restructured terms and the restructured terms were at market. The specific reserves allocated to loans that were involved in troubled debt

restructurings were $0.8 million and $2.2 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, CapitalSource Bank had two loans involved in troubled debt restructurings.
 
Of the total $21.1 million and $126.4 million specific provisions for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, $21.8 million and $124.0 million, respectively, related to commercial real estate and real estate construction loans. There was $9.8 million and $84.7 million specific provision for loan losses related to commercial real estate and real estate construction loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Due to the large individual credit exposures and characteristics of real estate and real estate construction loans, the level of charge offs in this area has been volatile.
 
Given our loss experience, we consider our higher-risk loans within the commercial real estate portfolio to be loans secured by collateral that have not reached stabilization. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, commercial real estate loans that have not reached stabilization had an outstanding principal balance of $213.0 million and $381.6 million, respectively. This amount was net of cumulative charge offs taken on these loans of $92.2 million and $52.1 million, respectively. In addition, specific reserves allocated to these loans totaled $1.6 million and $15.6 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, no commercial real estate loans were restructured into new loans using an “A note / B note” structure.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, CapitalSource Bank restructured three commercial real estate loans into new loans using an “A note / B note” structure where the B note component has been fully charged off. The contractual principal balances of these three loans prior to the restructurings totaled $91.6 million. In connection with the restructurings, $8.8 million of debt was forgiven and charged off, and $4.9 million was collected as principal payments, leaving $59.9 million of A notes and $18.2 million of B notes. As of September 30, 2010, the carrying value of the A notes was $57.2 million.
 
The workout strategy discussed above results in the A note equaling a balance the borrower can service and is underwritten to a loan to value ratio based on the current collateral valuation. The A note may be upgraded based on the revised terms and management’s assessment of the borrower’s ability and intent to repay. The A note is structured at a market interest rate, and the A note debt service is typically covered by the in-place property operations allowing it to be placed on accrual status. The reduced loan amount induces the borrower to continue to support the loan and maintain the collateral despite the observed reduction in the collateral value. The B note usually bears no interest or an interest rate significantly below the market rate. The A note contains amortization provisions, and the B note requires amortization only after the full repayment of the A note.
 
Accrual status for each loan, including restructured A notes, is considered on a loan by loan basis. The newly established principal balance of the A note is set at a level where the borrower is expected to keep the loan current and where the underlying collateral value adequately supports the loan. The revised structure is intended to allow the A loan to be placed on accrual status.
 
All loans that have undergone this A note / B note restructuring are considered troubled debt restructurings. The A notes are deemed impaired and remain so classified for at least one year from the date of the restructuring. After one year, the A notes are evaluated quarterly to determine if the loan performance has complied with the terms of the troubled debt restructuring such that the impairment classification may be removed.

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 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.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, loans with an aggregate carrying value of $132.5 million and $497.0 million, respectively, as of their respective restructuring dates, were involved in troubled debt restructurings. Additionally, loans involved in these troubled debt restructurings are assessed as impaired, generally for a period of at least one year following the restructuring, assuming the loan performs under the restructured terms and the restructured terms were at market. The specific reserves allocated to loans that were involved in troubled debt restructurings were $34.6 million and $22.8 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Provision for loan losses and charge offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were driven largely from charge offs in our real estate portfolio which includes land, second lien real estate and mortgage rediscount loans. Due to the large individual credit exposures and characteristics of real estate loans, the level of charge offs in this area has been volatile. However, we have few remaining large real estate loans in our portfolio and

believe that we have appropriately specifically reserved for all incurred losses. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the total outstanding principal balance of these higher-risk loans was $126.0 million and $561.5 million, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity is a measure of our sources of funds available to meet our obligations as they arise. We require cash to fund new and existing loan commitments, repay and service indebtedness, make new investments, fund net deposit outflows and pay expenses related to general business operations. Our sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, new borrowings and deposits, proceeds from asset sales, servicing fees from securitizations and credit facilities, principal and interest collections, and additional equity and debt financings.
 
We separately manage the liquidity of CapitalSource Bank and the Parent Company. Our liquidity forecasts indicate that we have adequate liquidity to conduct our business. These forecasts are based on our business plans for the Parent Company and CapitalSource Bank and assumptions related to expected cash inflows and outflows that we believe are reasonable; however, we cannot assure you that our forecasts or assumptions will prove to be accurate. Some of our liquidity sources such as cash and deposits are generally available on an immediate basis. Other sources of liquidity, such as proceeds from asset sales, borrowings on existing facilities and the ability to generate additional liquidity through new equity or debt financings, are less certain and less immediate, are in some cases restricted by our existing indebtedness or borrowing availability, and are dependent on and subject to market and economic conditions and the willingness of counterparties to enter into transactions with us. Accordingly, these sources of additional liquidity may not be sufficient or accessible to meet our needs.
 
Unless otherwise specified, the figures presented in the following paragraphs are based on current forecasts and take into account activity since September 30, 2010. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with, and is subject to and qualified by the information set forth in our Risk Factors and the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
CapitalSource Bank Liquidity
 
Our liquidity forecast is based on our loan origination business plan and our expectations regarding the net growth in the loan portfolio at CapitalSource Bank. Through deposits, cash flow from operations, payments of principal and interest on loans cash equivalents, investments, capital contributions from the Parent Company, borrowings from the FHLB SF and access to other funding sources, we intend to maintain sufficient liquidity at CapitalSource Bank to fund loan commitments and operations as well as to maintain minimum ratios required by our regulators.
 
CapitalSource Bank uses its liquidity to fund new loans and investment securities, fund commitments on existing loans, fund net deposit outflows and pay operating expenses, including intercompany payments to the Parent Company for origination and other services performed on its behalf. CapitalSource Bank operates in accordance with the conditions imposed in connection with regulatory approvals obtained upon its formation, including requirements that CapitalSource Bank maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 15%, capital levels required for a bank to be considered “well-capitalized” under relevant banking regulations, and a ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets of not less than 10% for its first three years of operations. In addition, we have a policy to maintain 10% of CapitalSource Bank’s assets in unencumbered cash, cash equivalents and investments. In accordance with regulatory guidance, we have identified, modeled and planned for the financial, capital and liquidity impact of various events and scenarios that would cause a large outflow of deposits, a reduction in borrowing capacity, a material increase in loan funding obligations, a material increase in credit costs or any combination of these events for CapitalSource Bank. We anticipate that CapitalSource Bank would be able to maintain sufficient liquidity and ratios in excess of its required minimum ratios in these events and scenarios.
 
CapitalSource Bank’s primary source of liquidity is deposits, most of which are in the form of certificates of deposit. As of September 30, 2010, deposits at CapitalSource Bank were $4.6 billion. We believe we will be able to maintain a sufficient level of deposits to fund CapitalSource Bank.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2010, CapitalSource Bank had $365.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and $1.5 billion in investment securities, available-for-sale. As of September 30, 2010, the amount of CapitalSource Bank’s unfunded commitments to extend credit with respect to existing loans was $959.2 million. Due to their nature, we cannot know with certainty the aggregate amounts we will be required to fund under these unfunded 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 irreparable damage our reputation in the market. We anticipate that CapitalSource Bank will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy these unfunded commitments.
 
Parent Company Liquidity
 
The Parent Company’s need for liquidity is based on our expectation that the balance of our existing loan portfolio and other assets held in the Parent Company will run off over time. We intend to generate adequate liquidity at the Parent Company to cover our estimated funding obligations for commitments under existing loans, to repay recourse indebtedness, and to pay operating expenses. CapitalSource Bank is prohibited from paying dividends during its first three years of operations without consent from our regulators. We do not anticipate that dividends from CapitalSource Bank will provide any liquidity to fund the operations of the Parent Company for the near term future.
 
The Parent Company’s uses of liquidity include payments related to mandatory commitment reductions under our syndicated bank credit facility, debt service, operating expenses, any dividends that we may pay and the funding of unfunded commitments. In addition, the Parent Company is required to repurchase its 3.5% and 4.0% Convertible Debentures at the option of the noteholders on July 15, 2011. As of September 30, 2010, outstanding balances on the 3.5% and 4.0% Convertible Debentures were $8.4 million and $285.3 million, respectively. We currently intend to repurchase these Convertible Debentures with cash generated from our operations at or prior to July 15, 2011 to the extent permitted under our other indebtedness. If we do not have sufficient cash or are restricted from using our cash from operations to repurchase these Convertible Debentures, we are permitted to issue new debt or equity securities and use the proceeds to repurchase these Convertible Debentures or offer to exchange the existing Convertible Debentures for newly issued debt or equity securities. For additional information, see Note 10, Borrowings, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, and Borrowings — Credit Facilities within this section.
 
Subject to restrictions in our existing indebtedness, sources of liquidity for the Parent Company include cash flows from operations, including, principal and interest payments, credit facility borrowings, equity and debt offerings, asset sales, including sales of REO, and servicing fees from securitizations and credit facilities. A portion of the proceeds from some of these activities is required to be used to make mandatory repayments on our indebtedness.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the Parent Company had $389.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The amount of the Parent Company’s unfunded commitments to extend credit with respect to existing loans as of September 30, 2010 exceeded unused funding sources and unrestricted cash by $802.5 million, a decrease of $542.2 million, or 40.3% from December 31, 2009. Due to their nature, we cannot know with certainty the aggregate amounts we will be required to fund under these unfunded commitments. We expect that these unfunded commitments will continue to exceed the Parent Company’s available funds. Our failure to satisfy our full contractual funding commitments to one or more of our clients could create breach of contract and lender liability for us and irreparably damage our reputation in the marketplace.
 
In many cases, our obligation to fund unfunded commitments is subject to our clients’ ability to provide collateral to secure the requested additional fundings, the collateral’s satisfaction of eligibility requirements, our clients’ ability to meet specified preconditions to borrowing, including compliance with all provisions of the loan agreements, and/or our discretion pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements. In other cases, however, there are no such prerequisites or discretion to future fundings by us, and our clients may draw on these unfunded commitments at any time. To the extent there are unfunded commitments with respect to a loan that is owned partially by CapitalSource Bank and the Parent Company, unless our client is in default, CapitalSource Bank is obligated in some cases pursuant to intercompany agreements to fund its portion of the unfunded commitment before the Parent


80


Table of Contents

Company is required to fund its portion. In addition, in some cases we may be able to borrow additional amounts under our existing financing sources as we fund these unfunded commitments.
 
Pursuant to agreements with our regulators, to the extent CapitalSource Bank independently is unable to do so, the Parent Company 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. Additionally, pursuant to requirements of our regulators, the Parent Company has provided a $150.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility to CapitalSource Bank that CapitalSource Bank may draw on at any time it or the FDIC deems necessary. As of September 30, 2010, this facility was undrawn, but we cannot assure you that the FDIC will not require funding under this facility in the future.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $633.1 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. We invest cash on hand in short-term liquid investments. We had $121.6 million and $168.5 million of restricted cash as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to a change in CapitalSource Bank’s investment portfolio, as cash and cash equivalents on hand as of December 31, 2009 were reinvested in available-for-sale securities and other investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. For additional information about our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, see Note 4, Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
The restricted cash consists primarily of principal and interest collections on loans collateralizing our secured non-recourse debt. Restricted cash also includes client holdbacks and escrows. 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.
 
Deposits
 
Deposits gathered through 22 retail bank branches are the primary source of funding for CapitalSource Bank. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, CapitalSource Bank had deposits totaling $4.6 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively. For additional information about our deposits, see Note 8, Deposits, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Borrowings

Term Debt
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we delegated certain of our collateral management and special servicing rights in the 2006-A Trust and sold our equity interest and certain notes issued by the 2006-A Trust for $7.0 million. As a result of this transaction, we concluded that we were no longer the primary beneficiary and deconsolidated the 2006-A Trust, which resulted in the removal of all of its assets and liabilities, including $891.3 million of term debt from our consolidated balance sheet. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we assigned our special servicing rights so that we are no longer the named special servicer of the 2006-A Trust. For additional information on the deconsolidation of the 2006-A Trust, see Note 9, Variable Interest Entities, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the outstanding balances of our term debt securitizations were $860.6 million and $2.7 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our 2014 Senior Secured Notes had balances of $285.0 million and $282.9 million, respectively, net of unamortized discounts of $15.0 million and $17.1 million, respectively.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we paid off the outstanding balance of the indebtedness associated with our 2007-A term debt securitization.
 
Convertible Debt
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the outstanding aggregate balances of our convertible debt were $534.0 million and $561.3 million, respectively, net of unamortized discounts of $9.7 million and $18.7 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. During the nine months ended

CapitalSource Bank participates in the primary credit program of the FRB of San Francisco’s discount window under which approved depository institutions are eligible to borrow from the FRB for periods of up to 90 days. As of September 30, 2010, collateral with an estimated fair value of $210.3 million had been pledged under this program, and there were no borrowings outstanding under this program.
 
Commitments, Guarantees & Contingencies
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had unfunded commitments to extend credit to our clients of $2.2 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. Additional information on these contingencies is included in Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in our Form 10-K, and Liquidity and Capital Resources — Parent Company Liquidity herein.
 
We have non-cancelable operating leases for office space and office equipment. The leases expire over the next 15 years and contain provisions for certain annual rental escalations. For additional information, see Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in our Form 10-K.
 
We are obligated to provide standby letters of credit in conjunction with several of our lending arrangements. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had issued $159.5 million and $182.5 million, respectively, in letters of credit which expire at various dates over the next fifteen 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. Additional information on these contingencies is included in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and in Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in our Form 10-K.
 
In connection with certain securitization transactions and secured financings, we have made customary representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the underlying transferred assets and collateral. Prior

to any securitization transaction and secured financing, we generally perform due diligence with respect to the assets to be included in the securitization transaction and the collateral to ensure that they satisfy the representations and warranties. In our capacity as originator and servicer in certain securitization transactions and secured financings, we may be required to repurchase or substitute loans which breach a representation and warranty as of their date of transfer to the securitization or financing vehicle.
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had sold all of our direct real estate investment properties. We are responsible for indemnifying the current owners for any remediation, including costs of removal and disposal of asbestos that existed prior to the sales, through the third anniversary date of the sale. We will recognize any remediation costs if notified by the current owners of their intention to exercise their indemnification rights, however, no such notification has been received to date. As of September 30, 2010, sufficient information was not available to estimate our potential liability for conditional asset retirement obligations as the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties continue to have indeterminable settlement dates.
 
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 loan 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.
 
As appropriate, the Parent Company and CapitalSource Bank credit committees evaluate and approve credit standards and oversee the credit risk management function related to our loans and other investments. Their primary responsibilities include ensuring the adequacy of our credit risk management infrastructure, overseeing credit risk management strategies and methodologies, monitoring economic and market conditions having an impact on our credit-related activities, and evaluating and monitoring overall credit risk and monitoring our client’s financial condition and performance.
 
Substantially all new loans have been originated at CapitalSource Bank, and we maintain a comprehensive credit policy manual for those loans that is supplemented by specific loan product underwriting guidelines. Among other things, the credit policy manual sets forth requirements that meet the regulations enforced by both the FDIC and the state of California’s Department of Financial Institutions. Examples of such requirements include the loan to value limitations for real estate secured loans, standards for real estate appraisals and other third-party reports, and collateral insurance requirements.
 
Our underwriting guidelines outline specific underwriting standards and minimum specific risk acceptance criteria for each lending product offered. Loan types defined within these guidelines have three broad categories, within our commercial, real estate, and real estate construction loan portfolios. These categories include asset-based loans, cash flow loans, and real estate loans, and each of these broad categories has specific subsections that define in detail the following:
 
  •  Loan structures that include the lien positions, amortization provisions and loan tenors
 
  •  Collateral descriptions and appropriate valuation methods
 
  •  Underwriting considerations that include minimum diligence and verification requirements
 
  •  Specific risk acceptance criteria that enumerate for each loan type the minimum acceptable credit performance standards. Examples of these criteria include maximum loan-to-value amounts for real estate loans, maximum advance rate amounts for asset-based loans and minimum historical and projected debt service coverage amounts for all loans

We generally measure and document each loan’s compliance with our specific risk acceptance criteria at underwriting. If at underwriting, there is an exception to these criteria, an explanation of the factors that mitigate this additional risk is generally considered before an approval is granted.
 
CapitalSource Bank and Other Commercial Finance Segments
 
Credit risk management for the loan portfolios 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 two factors: 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.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
In our normal course of business, we engage in lending activities with clients primarily throughout the United States. As of September 30, 2010, the single largest industry concentration was healthcare and social assistance, which made up approximately 21% of our loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2010, taken in the aggregate, non-healthcare real estate loans made up approximately 24% of our loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2010, the largest geographical concentration was Florida, which made up approximately 11% of our loan portfolio.
 
As of September 30, 2010, $1.0 billion, or 16%, of our portfolio consisted of loans to five clients with aggregate loan balances that are individually greater than $100.0 million. Of this amount, loans to one real estate client totaling $117.1 million were on non-accrual. The remaining loans were performing; however, if any of these loans or the loans listed below were to experience problems, it could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

(1) Represents the primary collateral securitizing the loan. In certain cases, there may be additional types of collateral.
 
(2) The primary collateral that secures our loan balance of $371.3 million as of September 30, 2010 is a stock pledge of the parent company that owns nursing care facilities valued at $2.1 billion based on appraisals dated May and June 2007. Total senior debt secured by the nursing care facilities was $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2010. Of our total loan balance, $46.3 million was senior debt.

(3) The collateral that secures our loan balance of $245.4 million primarily comprises timeshare receivables and timeshare real estate and had a total value of $745.1 million as of September 30, 2010. Total senior debt, including our loan balance, secured by the collateral was $348.4 million as of September 30, 2010.
 
(4) Total senior debt, including our loan balance, was $309.7 million as of September 30, 2010.

(6) Total senior debt, including our loan balance, was $120.1 million as of September 30, 2010. The nursing care facilities real estate secures $95.8 million of our loan balance as of September 30, 2010. The remainder of the loan balance of $24.3 million as of September 30, 2010 is secured by accounts receivable.
 
Problem loans in our portfolio of loans held for investment may include non-accrual loans, accruing loans contractually past-due 90 days or more, or TDRs. Our remediation efforts on problem loans are based upon the characteristics of each specific situation. The various remediation efforts that we may undertake include, among other things, one of or a combination of the following:
 
  •  request that the equity owners of the borrower inject additional capital,
 
  •  require the borrower to provide us with additional collateral,
 
  •  request additional guaranties or letters of credit,
 
  •  request the borrower to improve cash flow by taking actions such as selling non-strategic assets or reducing operating expenses,
 
  •  modify the terms of our debt, including the deferral of principal or interest payments,
 
  •  initiate foreclosure proceedings on the collateral, or
 
  •  sell the loan in certain cases where there is an interested third-party buyer.
 
There are 126 credit relationships in the non-performing portfolio as of September 30, 2010 and our three largest non-performing credit relationships totaled $257.0 million and comprise 25.3% of our total non-performing loans. These credit relationships comprise real estate construction and real estate loans to borrowers in the construction and accommodation and food services industries. The collateral supporting these loans include land, a hotel and multiple vacation properties. These loans were originated between December 2005 and June 2007. Two of these credit relationships contain loans that were on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2010 and were placed on non-accrual status in March 2010 and June 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, we have established an aggregate allowance for loan losses of $9.4 million on the loans comprising these three credit relationships. Additionally, the outstanding loan balances as of September 30, 2010 for these three credit relationships are inclusive of charge offs taken to reduce the outstanding loan balances to the estimated fair values of the collateral based upon appraisals received in 2010.
 
TDRs are loans that have been restructured as a result of deterioration in the borrower’s financial position and for which we have granted a concession to the borrower that we would not have otherwise granted if those conditions did not exist. Our concession strategies in TDRs are intended to minimize our economic losses as borrowers experience financial difficulty and provide an alternative to foreclosure. The success of these strategies is highly dependent on our borrowers’ ability and willingness to repay under the restructured terms of their loans. Continued adverse changes in the economic environment or in borrower performance could negatively impact the outcome of these strategies.

We measure the success of our modifications by assessing if the modified loans perform under the new contractual terms. As of September 30, 2010, approximately 41.0% of the balance of our loans restructured as TDRs had incurred losses since their initial restructuring. These losses are incorporated into the historical loss factors that are used in the determination of the allowance for loan losses on our non-impaired loans.
 
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 interest rate fluctuations. This risk is inherent in the financial instruments associated with our operations and/or activities, which result in the recognition of assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements, including loans, securities, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, trading account assets and liabilities and derivatives.
 
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 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 value based on varying market conditions.
 
For additional information on our derivatives, see Note 22, Derivative Instruments, of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in our Form 10-K.
 
Interest Rate Risk Management
 
Interest rate risk in our normal course of business 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 loan portfolio bears interest at a spread to the LIBOR rate or a prime-based rate with most of the remainder bearing interest at a fixed rate. Approximately half of our borrowings bear interest at a spread to LIBOR or CP, with the remainder bearing interest at a fixed rate. Our deposits are fixed rate, but at short terms. 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. For additional information, see Note 17, Derivative Instruments, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
The estimated changes in net interest income for a 12-month period based on changes in the interest rates applied to the combined portfolios of our segments as of September 30, 2010, were as follows ($ in thousands):

For the purpose of the above analysis, we included loans, investment securities, borrowings, deposits and derivatives. In addition, we assumed that the size of the current portfolio remains the same as the existing portfolio as of September 30, 2010. Loans, investment securities and deposits are assumed to be replaced as they run off. The new loans, investment securities and deposits are assumed to have interest rates that reflect our forecast of prevailing market terms. We also assumed that LIBOR does not fall below 0.15% for loans and borrowings, and that the prime rate does not fall below 3.0% for loans.
 
As of September 30, 2010, approximately 45% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of our loans had interest rate floors and were accruing interest. Of the loans with interest rate floors, approximately 92% had contractual rates below the interest rate floor and the floor was providing a benefit to us. The loans with contractual interest rate floors as of September 30, 2010, were as follows:

We enter into interest rate swap agreements to minimize the economic effect of interest rate fluctuations specific to our fixed rate debt and certain fixed rate loans. 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 basis swaps modify our exposure to interest rate risk by synthetically converting fixed rate and prime rate loans to one-month LIBOR. 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 relatively short-dated forward exchange agreements to minimize exposure to foreign currency risk arising from foreign currency denominated loans.
 
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 the consolidated financial statements in conformity with


88


Table of Contents

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 audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in our Form 10-K. Accounting estimates are considered critical if the estimate requires management to make assumptions and judgments 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. We have established detailed policies and procedures to ensure that the assumptions and judgments surrounding these areas are adequately controlled, independently reviewed and consistently applied from period to period. 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, 2009.
 
Supervision and Regulation
 
This is an update to certain sections from our discussion of Supervision and Regulation in our Form 10-K. For further information and discussion of supervision and regulation matters, see Item I. Business — Supervision and Regulation, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), an initiative directed at the financial services industry, was signed into law by President Obama on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States, establishes the new federal Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “BCFP”), and will require the BCFP and other federal agencies, including the SEC, to undertake assessments and rulemaking. The majority of the provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act are aimed at financial institutions that are significantly larger than the Parent Company or CapitalSource Bank. Nonetheless, there are provisions with which we will have to comply both as a public company and a financial institution. At this time, it is difficult to predict the full extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act or the resulting regulations will impact our business and operations. As rules and regulations are promulgated by the federal agencies responsible for implementing and enforcing the provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act, we will need to apply adequate resources to ensure that we are in compliance with all applicable provisions. Compliance with these new laws and regulations may result in additional costs and may otherwise adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, any of which may impact our financial condition or results of operations.
 
A requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act is for the FDIC to set a designated minimum Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) ratio of than 1.35% for any year, compared to the current minimum DIF ratio of 1.15%, by September 30, 2020. The FDIC is also required to offset the effect that this DIF rate increase has on insured depository institutions (“IDI”) with total consolidated assets of less than $10.0 billion. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides that an IDI’s assessment base be changed from the IDI’s insured deposits to its average total consolidated assets minus average tangible equity during the assessment period.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2010, in response to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC adopted a new Restoration Plan, which foregoes the FDIC’s previously announced assessment rate increase of three basis points scheduled to go into effect January 1, 2011, keeps the current assessment rate schedule in effect, and aims to bring the DIF ratio to 1.35% by September 20, 2020 as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The FDIC will also release a new definition of the assessment base. The FDIC will pursue further rulemaking in 2011 to establish its methods for reaching the 1.35% DIF rate by the statutory deadline and the manner by which the DIF rate offset will take effect.
 
With the goals of maintaining a positive fund balance and steady, predictable assessment rates throughout economic and credit cycles, the FDIC also adopted a notice of proposed rulemaking to set the designated reserve ratio at 2.0% and to lower assessment rates when the reserve ratio reaches 1.15%. In addition, the FDIC would continue to adopt lower rate schedules in lieu of issuing dividends when the reserve ratio exceeds 2.0% and 2.5%.

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 additional information on our derivatives, see Note 17, Derivative Instruments, in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, and Note 23, Credit Risk, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 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 Co-Chief Executive Officers 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 Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
