(1)   Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders presents the Company's operations without the effect of the transaction costs related to the pending merger with C-III, and the Company's commercial finance operations and deferred tax provision. 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 June 30, 2016 and 2015 separately from these items. 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.
