      information was derived from the application of pro forma adjustments to
      the consolidated financial statements of Newcastle. The unaudited pro
      forma condensed consolidated statement of income should be read in
      conjunction with the other information contained in these financial
      statements and related notes and with Newcastle’s historical consolidated
      financial statements.
     
    
      The unaudited pro forma information set forth below reflects the
      historical information of Newcastle, as adjusted to give effect to the

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income gives
      effect to the above transactions as if they had occurred on January 1,
      2013.
     
    
      In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
      effects of the transactions described above have been included and are
      based upon available information and assumptions that Newcastle believes
      are reasonable.
     
    
      Further, the historical financial information presented herein has been
      adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that Newcastle believes are
      factually supportable and which are expected to have a continuing impact
      on Newcastle’s results. However, such adjustments are estimates and may
      not prove to be accurate. Information regarding these adjustments is
      subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
      differ materially from those anticipated.
     
    
      These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are
      provided for information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed
      consolidated statement of income does not purport to represent what
      Newcastle’s results of operations would have been had such transactions
      been consummated on the date indicated, nor does it represent the results
      of operations of either Newcastle or New Residential for any future date
      or period.

            preferred dividends and noncontrolling interest, were adjusted
            retrospectively to reflect the issuance of 57,950,952 shares on
            November 22, 2013, the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion
            of the purchase price for the Holiday Portfolio. Weighted average
            number of shares of common stock outstanding and income from
            continuing operations per share of common stock, after preferred
            dividends and noncontrolling interest were not adjusted to include
            potential additional diluted shares as a result of the changes to
            outstanding Newcastle options from the spin-offs. The number of
            additional diluted shares will depend on various factors, including
            the share prices of Newcastle or New Residential and subsequent to
            the spin-offs.

            Newcastle had consummated the acquisition as of January 1, 2012
            would have been $89.3 million. The effect of this acquisition on
            income from continuing operations would have been $0.1 million.
