Financing Activity

As of December 31, 2011, Arbor’s outstanding borrowings for its loan and investment portfolio totaled approximately $1.3 billion.

The Company is subject to various financial covenants and restrictions under the terms of the Company’s CDO vehicles, credit facilities, and repurchase agreements. The Company believes that it was in compliance with all financial covenants and restrictions as of December 31, 2011.

The Company’s CDO vehicles contain interest coverage and asset over collateralization covenants that must be met as of the waterfall distribution date in order for the Company to receive such payments. If the Company fails these covenants in any of its CDOs, all cash flows from the applicable CDO would be diverted to repay principal and interest on the outstanding CDO bonds and the Company would not receive any residual payments until that CDO regained compliance with such covenants. As of the most recent determination dates in January 2012, the Company was in compliance with all CDO covenants. In the event of a breach of the CDO covenants that could not be cured in the near-term, the Company would be required to fund its non-CDO expenses, including management fees and employee costs, distributions required to maintain REIT status, debt costs, and other expenses with (i) cash on hand, (ii) income from any CDO not in breach of a CDO covenant test, (iii) income from real property and loan assets, (iv) sale of assets, (v) or accessing the equity or debt capital markets, if available.

The chart below is a summary of the Company’s CDO compliance tests as of the most recent determination dates in January 2012:

 (1) The overcollateralization ratio divides the total principal balance of all collateral in the CDO by the total principal balance of the bonds associated with the applicable ratio.  To the extent an asset is considered a defaulted security, the asset’s principal balance for purposes of the overcollateralization test is the lesser of the asset’s market value or the principal balance of the defaulted asset multiplied by the asset’s recovery rate which is determined by the rating agencies.

(2) The interest coverage ratio divides interest income by interest expense for the classes senior to those retained by the Company.

(3) CDO I, CDO II, and CDO III have reached the end of their replenishment periods. As such, investor capital is repaid quarterly from proceeds received from loan repayments held as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective CDO.

Portfolio Activity

During the fourth quarter of 2011, Arbor originated 13 bridge loans totaling $92.1 million and one preferred equity investment totaling $10.9 million. In addition, Arbor purchased six mortgage-backed securities for a total of $31.8 million during the quarter. These securities had paydowns totaling $4.6 million during the quarter, reducing their combined face value to $27.2 million as of December 31, 2011.

During the quarter, five loans paid off with an unpaid principal balance of $76.4 million, of which $0.4 million was charged off against loan loss reserves related to one of these loans. In addition, four loans had paydowns totaling $37.9 million, of which $4.8 million was charged off against loan loss reserves related to one of these loans. Furthermore, three loans totaling approximately $84.4 million were either refinanced or modified with Arbor, of which two loans totaling $16.7 million were scheduled to repay during the quarter.

Additionally, 12 loans totaling approximately $179.7 million were extended during the quarter, of which one loan totaling $0.7 million was in accordance with its existing extension option.

At December 31, 2011, the loan and investment portfolio unpaid principal balance, excluding loan loss reserves, was approximately $1.6 billion, with a weighted average current interest pay rate of 4.59%.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded $20.4 million in loan loss reserves related to four loans with a carrying value of approximately $41.8 million, before loan loss reserves. The loan loss reserves were the result of the Company's regular quarterly risk rating review process, which is based on several factors including current market conditions, real estate values and the operating status of each property. The Company recorded $0.2 million of net recoveries of previously recorded loan loss reserves related to two of the Company’s assets during the fourth quarter of 2011. These recoveries were recorded in provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company charged off $5.3 million of previously recorded loan loss reserves related to one loan during the fourth quarter. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s total loan loss reserves were approximately $185.4 million relating to 24 loans with an aggregate carrying value before loan loss reserves of approximately $285.0 million. The Company recognizes income on impaired loans on a cash basis to the extent it is received.

The Company had 12 non-performing loans with a carrying value of approximately $15.3 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $42.6 million as of December 31, 2011, compared to 10 non-performing loans with a carrying value of approximately $13.9 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $36.1 million as of September 30, 2011. Income recognition on non-performing loans has been suspended and will resume when the loans become contractually current and performance has recommenced.

The Company had a $5.6 million junior participating interest in a first mortgage loan against which the Company established a $5.6 million provision for loan loss equal to the carrying value of the loan. The Company purchased the property securing this loan by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and assumed the $20.8 million interest in the property’s first mortgage loan in 2010. The Company recorded this transaction as real estate owned in its Consolidated Financial Statements at a fair value of $20.8 million and the carrying value of the loan represented the fair value of the underlying collateral at the time of the transfer. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company entered into negotiations to sell the property to a third party at which time it was determined that the property met the held-for-sale requirements pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance. As a result, the Company reclassified this investment from real estate owned to real estate held-for-sale at a value, net of accumulated depreciation, of $19.4 million and reclassified property operating income and expenses for current and prior periods to discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company had a $4.0 million bridge loan related to a property on which the borrower delivered a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to the Company. As a result, the Company recorded this investment on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as real estate owned at a fair value of $2.9 million. The carrying value represented the fair value of the underlying collateral at the time of the transfer. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company determined that the asset

was impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $0.8 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered into negotiations to sell the property to a third party at which time it was determined that the property met the held-for-sale requirements pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance. As a result, the Company reclassified this investment from real estate owned to real estate held-for-sale at a value, net of accumulated depreciation, of $1.9 million and reclassified property operating income and expenses and impairment loss for current and prior periods to discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded an additional impairment loss of $0.7 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, reducing the carrying value of the investment to $1.2 million at December 31, 2011.
 
Stock Repurchase Program

As previously disclosed, during the second quarter of 2011, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan that enabled the Company to buy up to 1.5 million shares of its common stock. As of September 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 725,988 shares of its common stock and, during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased the remaining shares available under this plan.

In December 2011, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan that enables the Company to buy up to 500,000 shares of its common stock beginning on January 3, 2012. At management’s discretion, shares are acquired from time to time on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan. A Rule 10b5-1 plan permits the Company to repurchase shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so. The program expires on July 3, 2012. As of March 2, 2012, the Company repurchased approximately 170,000 shares.

Dividend

Under the restructured terms of the Company’s junior subordinated notes, annual dividends are limited to 100% of taxable income to common shareholders and are required to be paid in the form of the Company's common stock to the maximum extent permissible (currently 90%), with the balance payable in cash. The Company will be permitted to pay 100% of taxable income in cash if the Company pays the note holders the original rate of interest upon early termination of the restructuring agreement or at its expiration in April 2012. The Board of Directors has elected not to pay a common stock dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

 GAAP book value per share

 Common shares outstanding
    24,298,140  
 
Given the magnitude and the deferral structure of the 450 West 33rd Street transaction combined with the change in the fair value of certain derivative instruments, Arbor has elected to report adjusted book value per share for the affected period to currently reflect the future impact of the 450 West 33rd Street transaction on the Company's financial condition as well as the evaluation of Arbor without the effects of unrealized losses from certain of the Company's derivative instruments. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be an effective indicator, for both management and investors, of Arbor’s financial performance. Arbor’s management does not advocate that investors consider this non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
GAAP book value per share and adjusted book value per share calculations do not take into account any dilution from the potential exercise of the warrants issued to Wachovia as part of the 2009 debt restructuring.

Arbor is presenting funds from operations, or FFO, because management believes it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance in that it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of real estate investment trusts (REITs).  The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, in April 2002 defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated real properties, plus impairments of depreciated real properties and real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company considers gains and losses on the sales of undepreciated real estate investments to be a normal part of its recurring operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be excluded when calculating FFO. Losses from discontinued operations are not excluded when calculating FFO.
 
FFO is not intended to be an indication of our cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of our liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.  Arbor’s calculation of FFO may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
