The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we do not control through our voting interest, but have significant influence over, and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments" and Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures."

We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building (inclusive of tenant improvements) over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 3 years to 40 years. We amortize the amount allocated to the above- and below-market leases over the remaining term of the associated lease, which generally range from 1 year to 15 years, and record it as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income. We amortize the amount allocated to the values associated with in-place leases over the expected term of the associated lease, which generally ranges from 1 year to 15 years. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. Origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease and tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or useful life of the improvement (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). When allocating the purchase price of real estate, we assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. To the extent acquired leases contain fixed rate renewal options that are below-market and determined to be material, we amortize such below-market lease value into rental income over the renewal period.

The Company classifies those leases under which the Company is the lessee at lease commencement as finance or operating leases. Leases qualify as finance leases if the lease transfers ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term, the lease grants an option to purchase the asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the asset, or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset. Leases that do not qualify as finance leases are deemed to be operating leases. At lease commencement the Company records a lease liability which is measured as the present value of the lease payments and a right of use asset which is measured as the amount of the lease liability and any initial direct costs incurred. The Company applies a discount rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. If the rate implicit in the lease is known, the Company uses that rate. If the rate implicit in the lease is not known, the Company uses a discount rate reflective of the Company’s collateralized borrowing rate given the term of the lease. To determine the discount rate, the Company employs a third-party specialist to develop an analysis based primarily on the observable borrowing rates of the Company, other REITs, and other corporate borrowers with long-term borrowings. On the consolidated statements of operations, operating leases are expensed through operating lease rent while financing leases are expensed through amortization and interest expense. When applicable, the Company combines the consideration for lease and non-lease components in the calculation of the value of the lease obligation and right-of-use asset.

On a quarterly basis, or when events or changes in circumstances arise, we assess whether there are any indications that the value of our real estate consolidated properties may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. A consolidated property's value is considered impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted) and terminal value to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property as calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 820. We also evaluate our real estate consolidated properties for impairment when a property has been classified as held for sale. Real estate assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and depreciation expense is no longer recorded.

In April 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the property at 719 Seventh Avenue for $30.5 million. As a result of the pending sale, the Company recorded a $46.3 million charge to reduce the carrying value of its investment to the contracted purchase price for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which is included in Depreciable real estate reserves and impairments in the consolidated statements of operations. The transaction closed during the second quarter of 2024. See Note 4, "Properties Held for Sale and Property Dispositions."

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $13.7 million charge, reflective of $13.2 million of capitalized interest, to reduce the carrying value of the residential condominium units at 760 Madison Avenue, based on the total of the sales contracts that the Company entered into for these units. This charge is included in Depreciable real estate reserves and impairments in the consolidated statements of operations. The transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a reduction of rental revenue of ($0.8 million) and ($1.7 million), respectively, for the amortization of aggregate above-market leases in excess of below-market leases resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the applicable properties. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a reduction in rental revenue of ($0.1 million) for the amortization of aggregate above-market leases in excess of below-market leases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized additional rental revenue of $14.3 million for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases.

At acquisition, we designate a debt security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any debt securities designated as held-to-maturity or trading. We account for our available-for-sale securities at fair value pursuant to ASC 820-10, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The cost of marketable securities sold and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings is determined using the specific identification method. Credit losses are recognized in accordance with ASC 326. We account for equity marketable securities at fair value pursuant to ASC 820-10, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported in net income.

The cost basis of the commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") was $16.9 million and $11.5 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These securities mature at various times through 2030. As of September 30, 2024, one security was in an unrealized gain position of $0.1 million with a fair market value of $5.4 million, and two securities were in an unrealized loss position of $0.9 million with a fair market value of $11.1 million with one of the securities being in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. All securities were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2023 with an unrealized loss of $1.9 million, a fair market value of $9.6 million and were in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell our other securities, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

We may acquire securities in CMBS securitization trusts and, which in certain cases, we may be contracted to provide special servicing activities for these trusts. In certain cases, we may acquire the controlling class of the trust and we may have the right to name and remove the special servicer for these trusts. These circumstances may result in our consolidating the securitization trusts on our financial statements. We evaluate all of our positions and special servicer appointments for consolidation, which are considered to be VIEs to the Company.

As the special servicer, we provide services on defaulted loans within the trusts as permitted by the underlying contractual agreements. We receive a fee in exchange for these services. The rights provided to us as special servicer give us the ability to direct activities that could significantly impact the trust's economic performance, which requires consolidation of the securitization trust unless a third party has the right to unilaterally remove us as special servicer without cause. In such instances where we can be removed as special servicer without cause, we do not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the trust's economic performance and would not consolidate the securitization trust.

For CMBS securitization trusts in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary, we consolidate the securitization trusts on our consolidated balance sheets. The consolidation of such securitization trusts results in a gross presentation of the underlying collateral loans as assets as well as the senior CMBS positions owned by third parties, which are presented as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The assets of the consolidated securitization trust can only be used to satisfy the liabilities of that securitization and are not available to the Company for any other purpose. Additionally, the senior CMBS securitization trust obligations can only be satisfied through repayment of the underlying collateral loans as they do not have any recourse to the Company or our assets. The Company has not provided any guarantees with respect to the performance or repayment of the senior CMBS obligations.

Real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles in excess of senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles	$	109,316		$	190,325		$	—	$	—

We have elected to record the associated interest income and interest expense for these investments as separate line items on our consolidated statements of operations. The amounts recorded in Interest income from real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles on our consolidated statements of operations include the Company's interest income as well as the interest income associated with CMBS positions owned by third parties, which is offset by the amounts recorded in Interest expense on senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles on our consolidated statements of operations. As a result, the net impact is limited to the interest income on the CMBS securities we own directly and not the gross consolidated interest income and interest expense.

We assess our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment based on each joint ventures' actual and projected cash flows. Aside from charges noted in Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures," we do not believe that the values of any of our equity investments were impaired at September 30, 2024.

Lease classification for leases under which the Company is the lessor is evaluated at lease commencement and leases not classified as sales-type leases or direct financing leases are classified as operating leases. Leases qualify as sales-type leases if the contract includes either transfer of ownership clauses, certain purchase options, a lease term representing a major part of the economic life of the asset, or the present value of the lease payments and residual guarantees provided by the lessee exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. Additionally, leasing an asset so specialized that it is not deemed to have any value to the Company at the end of the lease term may also result in classification as a sales-type lease. Leases qualify as direct financing leases when the present value of the lease payments and residual value guarantees provided by the lessee and unrelated third parties exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset and collection of the payments is probable.

To determine whether the leased space is available for its intended use by the lessee, management evaluates whether we or the tenant are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is when such tenant improvements are substantially complete. In certain instances, when management concludes that we are not the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space.

In addition to base rent, our tenants also generally will pay variable rent, which represents their pro rata share of increases in real estate taxes and certain operating expenses for the building over a base year. In some leases, in lieu of paying additional rent based upon increases in certain building operating expenses, the tenant will pay additional rent based upon increases in the wage rate paid to porters over the porters' wage rate in effect during a base year or increases in the consumer price index over the index value in effect during a base year. In addition, many of our leases contain fixed percentage increases over the base rent to cover escalations. Electricity is most often supplied by the landlord either on a sub-metered basis, or rent inclusion basis (i.e., a fixed fee is included in the rent for electricity, which amount may increase based upon increases in electricity rates or increases in electrical usage by the tenant). Base building services other than electricity (such as heat, air conditioning and freight elevator service during business hours, and base building cleaning) are typically provided at no additional cost, with the tenant paying additional rent only for services which exceed base building services or for services which are provided outside normal business hours. These escalations are based on actual expenses incurred in the prior calendar year. If the expenses in the current year are different from those in the prior year, then during the current year, the escalations will be adjusted to reflect the actual expenses for the current year.

Rental revenue is recognized if collectability is probable. If collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is assessed as not probable, any difference between the rental revenue recognized to date and the lease payments that have been collected is recognized as a current-period adjustment to rental revenue. A subsequent change in the assessment of collectability to probable may result in a current-period adjustment to rental revenue for any difference between the rental revenue that would have been recognized if collectability had always been assessed as probable and the rental revenue recognized to date.

Investment income on debt and preferred equity investments is accrued based on the contractual terms of the instruments and when it is deemed collectible. Some debt and preferred equity investments provide for accrual of interest at specified rates, which differ from current payment terms. Interest is recognized on such loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is collectible. If management cannot make this determination, interest income above the current pay rate is recognized only upon actual receipt.

Deferred origination fees, original issue discounts and loan origination costs, if any, are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the terms of the related investments using the effective interest method. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are also deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Discounts or premiums associated with the purchase of loans are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method based on expected cash flows through the expected maturity date of the related investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount, intend to hold it until maturity and expect to recover the full value of the investment, we accrete the discount into income as an adjustment to yield over the term of the investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount with the intention of foreclosing on the collateral, we do not accrete the discount. For debt investments acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted. Anticipated exit fees, the collection of which is expected, are also recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.

We consider a debt and preferred equity investment to be past due when amounts contractually due have not been paid. Debt and preferred equity investments are placed on a non-accrual status at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of interest income becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition is resumed on any debt or preferred equity investment that is on non-accrual status when such debt or preferred equity investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

We may syndicate a portion of the loans that we originate or sell the loans individually. When a transaction meets the criteria for sale accounting, we recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the loan sold. Any related unamortized deferred origination fees, original issue discounts, loan origination costs, discounts or premiums at the time of sale are recognized as an adjustment to the gain or loss on sale, which is included in investment income on the consolidated statement of operations. Any fees received at the time of sale or syndication are recognized as part of investment income.

Debt and preferred equity investments are presented at the net amount expected to be collected in accordance with ASC 326. An allowance for loan losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected through the expected maturity date of such investments. The expense for loan loss and other investment reserves is the charge to earnings to adjust the allowance for loan losses to the appropriate level. Amounts are written off from the allowance when we de-recognize the related investment either as a result of a sale of the investment or acquisition of equity interests in the collateral.

The Company evaluates the amount expected to be collected based on current market and economic conditions, historical loss information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company's assumptions are derived from both internal data and external data which may include, among others, governmental economic projections for the New York City Metropolitan area, public data on recent transactions and filings for securitized debt instruments. This information is aggregated by asset class and adjusted for duration. Based on these inputs, loans are evaluated at the individual asset level. In certain instances, we may also use a probability-weighted model that considers the likelihood of multiple outcomes and the amount expected to be collected for each outcome.

In addition, quarterly, the Company assigns each loan a risk rating. Based on a 3-point scale, loans are rated “1” through “3,” from lower risk to higher risk, which ratings are defined as follows: 1 - Low Risk Assets - Low probability of loss, 2 - Watch List Assets - Higher potential for loss, 3 - High Risk Assets - Loss more likely than not. Loans with risk ratings of 2 or above are evaluated to determine whether the expected risk of loss is appropriately captured through the combination of our expectations of current conditions, historical loss information and supportable forecasts described above or whether risk characteristics specific to the loan warrant the use of a probability-weighted model.

Financing investments that are classified as held for sale are carried at the expected amount to be collected or fair market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments as well as discounted cash flow models based on Level 3 data pursuant to ASC 820-10. As circumstances change, management may conclude not to sell an investment designated as held for sale. In such situations, the investment will be reclassified at its expected amount to be collected.

SL Green is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, SL Green generally is not subject to Federal income tax. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, SL Green must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. If SL Green fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, SL Green will be subject to Federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. SL Green may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, Federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The only provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statements of operations relates to the Operating Partnership’s consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes.

We have elected, and may elect in the future, to treat certain of our corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. In general, TRSs may perform non-customary services for the tenants of the Company, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The TRSs generate income, resulting in Federal, state and local corporate tax liability for these entities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded Federal, state and local tax provisions totaling $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for these entities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded Federal, state and local tax provisions totaling $2.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively, for these entities.

We follow a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, debt and preferred equity investments and accounts receivable. We place our cash investments with high quality financial institutions. The collateral securing our debt and preferred equity investments is located in New York City. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments."

We perform initial and ongoing evaluations of the credit quality of our tenants and require most tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant's lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a potential source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost revenue from that tenant and the costs associated with re-tenanting a space. The properties in our real estate portfolio are located in the New York metropolitan area, principally in Manhattan. Our tenants operate in various industries. Other than one tenant, Paramount Global (formerly ViacomCBS Inc.), which accounted for 5.5% of our share of annualized cash rent as of September 30, 2024, no other tenant in our portfolio accounted for more than 5.0% of our share of annualized cash rent, including our share of joint venture annualized cash rent, for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, we reclassified amounts recorded for certain right-of-use assets classified as operating leases from a gross presentation above accumulated depreciation to a net presentation below accumulated depreciation in our consolidated balance sheets. This includes reclassifying the related amortization that was previously included in the accumulated depreciation. We believe this presentation enhances the Company's financial statements.

As of December 31, 2023, SUMMIT met the criteria of a reportable operating segment pursuant to the guidance in ASC 280. Accordingly, we reclassified SUMMIT Operator revenue, SUMMIT Operator expenses, and SUMMIT Operator tax expense to separate financial statement line items in our consolidated statements of operations. These items were previously presented on a net basis in Other income. Additionally, the depreciation and amortization of SUMMIT assets are included in Depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations. Prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The objective of the amendments in ASU 2023-09 related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures are to improve transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendment will require that public entities on an annual basis disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, the amendment will require that all entities disclose on an annual basis the amount of taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes as well as disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 amends the reportable segment disclosure requirements to enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses. The objective of the amendment is to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendment will require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the "significant expense principle"). Additionally, the amendment will require an entity to disclose an amount for "other segment items" by reportable segment and a description of its composition as well as require annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods. Lastly, the amendment will require a public entity to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding to allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05 Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60) Recognition and Initial Measurement. ASU 2023-05 addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture's separate financial statements. The objectives of the amendments are to provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture's financial statements and reduce diversity in practice. The amendments require that a joint venture apply the following key adaptations from the business combinations guidance upon formation: (i) a joint venture is the formation of a new entity without an accounting acquirer, (ii) a joint venture measures its identifiable net assets and goodwill, if any, at the formation date, (iii) initial measurement of a joint venture's total net assets is equal to the fair value of 100 percent of the joint venture's equity, and (iv) a joint venture provides relevant disclosures. ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual period in which financial statements have not yet been issued, either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-05 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
