[1] The total outstanding face amount was $340.6 million for fixed rate securities and $192.1 million for floating rate securities.
[2] Net of incurred losses.
[3] Assets held within non-recourse structures, including all of the assets in the senior housing and CDO segments, are not available to satisfy obligations outside of such financings, except to the extent net cash flow distributions are received from such structures. Furthermore, creditors or beneficial interest holders of these structures generally have no recourse to the general credit of Newcastle. Therefore, the exposure to the economic losses from such structures generally is limited to invested equity in them and economically their book value cannot be less than zero. Therefore, impairment recorded in excess of Newcastle's investment, which results in negative GAAP book value for a given non-recourse financing structure, cannot economically be incurred and will eventually be reversed through amortization, sales at gains, or as gains at the deconsolidation or termination of such non-recourse financing structure.

[5] An aggregate face amount of $133.6 million (carrying values of $86.3 million) of debt represents intersegment financing, which is eliminated upon consolidation.
