CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the operating performance of our investments, the stability of our earnings, and our financing needs. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “overestimate,” “underestimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Our ability to predict results or the actual outcome of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

changes in global, national and local economic conditions, including, but not limited to, a prolonged economic slowdown and a downturn in the real estate market;
reductions in cash flows received from our investments;
the availability and cost of capital for future investments, particularly in a rising interest rate environment, and our ability to deploy capital accretively;
our ability to profit from opportunistic investments, such as our investment in golf, and to mitigate the risks associated with managing operating businesses and asset classes with which we have limited experience;
the relationship between yields on assets which are paid off and yields on assets in which such monies can be reinvested;
changes in our asset portfolio and investment strategy as a result of a spin-off of our senior housing business or other factors;
adverse changes in the financing markets we access affecting our ability to finance our investments;
changing risk assessments by lenders that potentially lead to increased margin calls, not extending our repurchase agreements or other financings in accordance with their current terms or entering into new financings with us;
changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads, as well as the success of any hedging strategy we may undertake in relation to such changes;
the risks that default and recovery rates on our real estate securities and loan portfolios deteriorate compared to our underwriting estimates;
impairments in the value of the collateral underlying our investments and the relation of any such impairments to our judgments as to whether changes in the market value of our securities, loans or real estate are temporary or not and whether circumstances bearing on the value of such assets warrant changes in carrying values;
our dependence on our property managers and tenants in our senior housing business;
the ability of our property managers and tenants to comply with laws, rules and regulations in the operation of our properties, to maintain and improve our properties, to deliver high quality services, to attract and retain qualified personnel and to attract residents;
increases in costs at our senior housing properties (including, but not limited to, the costs of labor, supplies, insurance and property taxes);
geographical concentrations with respect to the mortgage loans underlying and collateral securing certain of our debt investments, our senior housing properties and our golf properties;
legislative/regulatory changes, including but not limited to, any modification of the terms of loans or changes in the healthcare industry;
competition within the finance, real estate, senior housing industries, as well as other industries, such as the golf industry, in which we have and/or may pursue additional investments;
the impact of litigation or any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues that may affect us or our property managers and tenants;
our ability and willingness to maintain our qualification as a REIT; and
other risks detailed from time to time below, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors,” and in our other reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The factors noted above could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s views only as of the date of this report. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.

1.   GENERAL
 
Newcastle Investment Corp. (and its subsidiaries, “Newcastle”) is a Maryland corporation that was formed in 2002. Newcastle focuses on opportunistically investing in, and actively managing, a variety of real estate-related and other investments. Newcastle is organized and conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, Newcastle will generally not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders by prescribed dates and complies with various other requirements. Newcastle's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NCT".

On February 13, 2014, Newcastle completed the spin-off of New Media Investment Group Inc. ("New Media"), and established New Media as a separate, publicly traded company (NYSE:NEWM). The spin-off was effected as a taxable pro rata distribution by Newcastle of all of the outstanding shares of common stock it held of New Media to Newcastle’s common stockholders of record at the close of business on February 6, 2014. The distribution ratio was 0.0722 shares of New Media common stock for each share of Newcastle common stock.

In December 2013, Newcastle restructured an investment in mezzanine debt issued by NGP Mezzanine, LLC (“NGP”), the indirect parent of NGP Realty Sub, L.P. (“National Golf”). National Golf owns 27 golf properties across 8 states, and leases these properties to American Golf Corporation (“American Golf”), an affiliated operating company. American Golf also leases an additional 52 golf properties and manages 11 properties, all owned by third parties. As part of the transaction, Newcastle acquired the equity of NGP and American Golf’s indirect parent, AGC Mezzanine Pledge LLC (“AGC”), and therefore is consolidating these entities.

As a result, Newcastle now conducts its business through the following segments: (i) investments in senior housing properties (“senior housing”), (ii) debt investments financed with collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), (iii) other debt investments (“other debt”), (iv) investments in golf properties and facilities (“Golf”) and (v) corporate. With respect to the CDOs and other debt investments, subject to the passing of certain periodic coverage tests, Newcastle is generally entitled to receive the net cash flows from these structures on a periodic basis.

Newcastle is party to a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with FIG LLC (the "Manager"), a subsidiary of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), under which the Manager advises Newcastle on various aspects of its business and manages its day-to-day operations, subject to the supervision of Newcastle's board of directors. For its services, the Manager is entitled to an annual management fee and incentive compensation, both as defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Management Agreement.

Newcastle either leases senior housing properties under triple net leases or has its senior housing properties managed pursuant to property management agreements (the “Senior Housing Management Agreements”) with third parties (collectively, the “Senior Housing Managers”). Currently, the Senior Housing Managers are affiliates or subsidiaries of either Holiday Acquisition Holdings LLC (“Holiday”), a portfolio company that is majority owned by private equity funds managed by an affiliate of Newcastle’s Manager, or FHC Property Management LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Blue Harbor”), an affiliate of Newcastle’s Manager.

On June 16, 2014, Newcastle announced that its board of directors unanimously approved a plan to spin off its senior housing business. Newcastle intends to effect the spin-off by distributing shares of its subsidiary, New Senior Investment Group Inc. (“New Senior”, NYSE: SNR). New Senior will be a publicly traded REIT that primarily targets senior housing related investments. New Senior has filed a registration statement with the SEC with respect to the planned spin-off. The spin-off is subject to certain conditions, such as the SEC declaring effective New Senior’s registration statement, the filing and approval of an application to list New Senior’s common stock on the NYSE and the formal declaration of the distribution by the board of directors.

Approximately 6.4 million shares of Newcastle’s common stock were held by Fortress, through its affiliates, and its principals at June 30, 2014. In addition, Fortress, through its affiliates, held options to purchase approximately 25.5 million shares of Newcastle’s common stock at June 30, 2014.

A principal of the Manager owned or leased aircraft that Newcastle chartered from a third-party aircraft operator for business purposes in the course of operations. Newcastle paid market rates for the charters. The operators remitted a portion of these amounts to the principal.  These amounts totaled less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. 
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes of Newcastle have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and


Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of Newcastle's financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Newcastle's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013
and notes thereto included in Newcastle’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined, are defined in Newcastle’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies have been adopted in connection with Golf.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from green fees, cart rentals, food and beverage sales, merchandise sales and other income (consisting primarily of range income, banquets, and club and other rental income) are generally recognized at the time of sale, when services are rendered and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue from membership dues is recognized in the month earned. Membership dues received in advance are included in deferred revenues and recognized as revenue ratably over the appropriate period, which is generally twelve months or less. The monthly dues are generally structured to cover the club operating costs and membership services.

Private country club members generally pay an advance initiation fee upon their acceptance as a member to the country club. Initiation fees at most private clubs are deposits which are generally refundable 30 years after the date of acceptance as a member. Revenue related to membership deposits is recognized over the expected life of an active membership. For membership deposits, the difference between the amount paid by the member and the present value of the refund obligation is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of an active membership.

The present value of the refund obligation is recorded as a membership deposit liability in the consolidated balance sheets and accretes over the nonrefundable term (30 years) using the effective interest method. This accretion is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

EXPENSE RECOGNITION

Operating Leases and Other Operating Expenses - Other operating expenses for the Golf business consist primarily of equipment leases, utilities, repairs and maintenance, supplies, seed, soil and fertilizer, and marketing. Many of the golf properties and related facilities are leased under long-term operating leases. In addition to minimum payments, certain leases require payment of the excess of various percentages of gross revenue or net operating income over the minimum rental payments. The leases generally require the payment of taxes assessed against the leased property and the cost of insurance and maintenance. The majority of lease terms range from 10 to 20 years, and typically, the leases contain renewal options. Certain leases include minimum scheduled increases in rental payments at various times during the term of the lease. These scheduled rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, resulting in an accrual, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, for the amount by which the cumulative straight-line rent exceeds the contractual cash rent.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
JUNE 30, 2014
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share data)
 


CAPITAL LEASES

The Golf business leases golf carts and other equipment that are classified as capital leases. The value of capital leases is recorded as an asset on the balance sheet, along with a liability related to the associated payments. Amortization of capital lease assets is

calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives and the initial lease terms. The cost of equipment under capital leases is included in investments in other real estate in the consolidated balance sheets. Payments under the lease are treated as reductions of the liability, with a portion being recorded as interest expense under the effective interest method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.  ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation.  Under the new pronouncement, a disposal of a part of an organization that has a major effect on its operations and financial results is a discontinued operation.  This update is effective for Newcastle in the first quarter of 2015. Newcastle is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued ASU 2014-09 Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The ASU is effective for Newcastle in the first quarter of 2017. Early application is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. Newcastle is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  The standard changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financing transactions to secured borrowing accounting. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU is effective for Newcastle in the first quarter of 2015. Early application is not permitted. Disclosures are not required for comparative periods presented before the effective date. Newcastle is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
The FASB has recently issued or discussed a number of proposed standards on such topics as consolidation, financial statement presentation, leases, financial instruments and hedging. Some of the proposed changes are significant and could have a material impact on Newcastle’s reporting. Newcastle has not yet fully evaluated the potential impact of these proposals, but will make such an evaluation as the standards are finalized.

2.   ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions of Senior Housing properties

i.
Managed Properties
In January and May 2014, Newcastle completed the acquisitions of five senior housing properties in three different portfolios for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $44.5 million plus acquisition-related costs. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for as a business combination, under which all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value with acquisition-related costs being expensed as incurred. For two of the properties, Newcastle has retained Holiday to manage the properties. Pursuant to the property management agreements with Holiday, Newcastle pays management fees equal to either (i) 5% of the property’s effective gross income (as defined in the agreements) or (ii) 6% of the property’s effective gross income (as defined in the agreements) for the first two years and 7% thereafter. For the other three properties acquired, Newcastle has retained Blue Harbor to manage the properties. Pursuant to the agreements with Blue Harbor, Newcastle pays management fees equal to 6% of the property’s effective gross income (as defined in the agreements) for the first two years and 7% thereafter. In addition, Newcastle will reimburse Holiday and Blue Harbor for certain expenses, primarily the compensation expense associated with the on-site employees.

ii.
Triple Net Lease Properties
On June 30, 2014, Newcastle completed the acquisition of six senior housing properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $183.0 million plus acquisition-related costs. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, under which all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value with acquisition-related costs being expensed as incurred.

On June 30, 2014, Newcastle also entered into a triple net lease of these properties with a third party (the “June 2014 Master Tenant”). The lease has a 15-year term with two five-year renewal options and first-year rent equal to approximately $14.2 million with annual increases during each of the following three years of 3.75% and up to 2.5% thereafter. Under the lease, the June 2014 Master Tenant is responsible for (i) operating the properties and bearing the related costs, including maintenance, utilities, taxes, insurance, repairs and capital improvements, and (ii) complying with the terms of the mortgage financing documents.

As part of the June 2014 Master Tenant lease, Newcastle committed to making available $6.5 million immediately for capital improvements and other repairs in the properties under the lease agreement and also agreed to make available to the June 2014 Master Tenant an additional $9.0 million at certain intervals during the lease period to be used for further capital improvements. Upon funding the capital improvements, Newcastle will be entitled to a rent increase.

The values assigned above are not yet finalized as Newcastle is in the process of identifying all acquired intangibles and gathering market and other information with which to determine the fair values of the real estate property and intangible assets acquired. Therefore the purchase price allocations set forth above are preliminary and are subject to change. The final determination of fair values for these assets may result in different allocations among the various asset classes from those set forth above and any such differences could be material.

The May 15, 2013 spin-off resulted in a $1.2 billion reduction in the basis upon which Newcastle’s management fees are computed (and an equivalent reduction in the basis upon which the incentive compensation threshold is computed), as well as a reduction in the strike price of Newcastle’s then outstanding options (see Note 13).

The February 13, 2014 spin-off resulted in a $0.4 billion reduction in the basis upon which Newcastle’s management fees are computed (and an equivalent reduction in the basis upon which the incentive compensation threshold is computed), as well as a reduction in the strike price of Newcastle’s then outstanding options (see Note 13).
 

4.   SEGMENT REPORTING AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
 
Newcastle conducts its business through the following segments: (i) investments in senior housing properties (“senior housing”), (ii) debt investments financed with collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), (iii) other debt investments (“other debt”), (iv) investment in golf properties and facilities (“golf”) and (v) corporate. With respect to the CDOs and other debt segments, Newcastle is generally entitled to receive net cash flows from these structures on a periodic basis.

The corporate segment consists primarily of interest income on short term investments, general and administrative expenses, interest expense on the junior subordinated notes payable and management fees pursuant to the Management Agreement.
