Michael L. Ashner, Winthrop's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer stated, "Each of these investments is consistent with our
announced strategy of acquiring non-performing mortgage debt and
fulcrum mezzanine debt as well as originating new high-yield
debt. In all of these transactions we considered the
underlying value of the collateral, the current and future
potential income return and the possibility, if not the likelihood,
that our debt position will be converted into an equity
participation in the underlying asset. Our venture with ROIC
continues our practice of teaming up with parties who we believe
have specific expertise with respect to a proposed investment
opportunity. Further, we believe these transactions will be
accretive to Winthrop's FFO and cash flow."
