1. Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, net of tax, presents the Company's operations without the effect of its commercial finance operations. 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 and six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 separately from its commercial finance operations. Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, net of tax, should not be considered as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes (computed in accordance with GAAP). Instead, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, net of tax, should be reviewed in connection with income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes in the Company's consolidated financial statements, to help analyze how the Company's business is performing.

2. Income tax provision (benefit) is calculated using the Company's tax rate for the period, excluding one-time tax adjustments.

3. Dilutive shares used in the calculation of adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders per common share-diluted includes an additional 1.4 million shares for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 918,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which were antidilutive for the period and, as such, were not used in the calculation of GAAP loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders per common share-diluted.
