(1) Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders presents the
    Company's operations without the effect of the impairment of its
    investment in unconsolidated loan manager, its commercial finance
    operations and deferred tax provision (benefit). The Company believes
    that this provides useful information to investors since it allows
    investors to evaluate the Company's progress in both its real estate and
    financial fund management segments for the three months and year ended
    December 31, 2015 and 2014 separately from its commercial finance
    operations and deferred tax provision (benefit). Adjusted net income
    attributable to common shareholders should not be considered as an
    alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders
    (computed in accordance with GAAP). Instead, adjusted net income
    attributable to common shareholders should be reviewed in connection
    with net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders in the
    Company's consolidated financial statements to help analyze how the
    Company's business is performing.
