NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF QUARTERLY PRESENTATION
Resource
Capital Corp. and subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) was incorporated in Maryland on
January 31, 2005 and commenced its operations on March 8, 2005 upon receipt
of
the net proceeds from a private placement of shares of its common stock. The
Company’s principal business activity is to purchase and manage a diversified
portfolio of commercial real estate-related assets and commercial finance
assets. The Company’s investment activities are managed by Resource Capital
Manager, Inc. (‘‘Manager’’) pursuant to a management agreement (‘‘Management
Agreement’’). The Manager is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Resource
America, Inc. (“RAI”) (Nasdaq: REXI).
The
Company has three direct wholly-owned subsidiaries: RCC Real Estate, Inc. (“RCC
Real Estate”), RCC Commercial, Inc. (“RCC Commercial”) and Resource TRS, Inc.
(“Resource TRS”). RCC Real Estate holds real estate investments, including
commercial real estate loans. RCC Commercial holds bank loan investments and
real estate investments, including commercial and residential real
estate-related securities. Resource TRS holds all the Company’s equipment leases
and notes. RCC Real Estate owns 100% of the equity interest in Resource Real
Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 (“RREF 2006-1”), a Cayman Islands limited liability
company and qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”). RREF 2006-1 was established to
complete a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) issuance secured by a
portfolio of commercial real estate loans. RCC Commercial owns 100% of the
equity interest in Apidos CDO I, Ltd. (“Apidos CDO I”), a Cayman Islands limited
liability company and taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Apidos CDO I was
established to complete a CDO secured by a portfolio of bank loans. RCC
Commercial owns 100% of the equity interest in Apidos CDO III, Ltd. (“Apidos CDO
III”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and TRS. Apidos CDO III was
established to complete a CDO secured by a portfolio of bank loans. RCC
Commercial owns 100% of the equity interest in Ischus CDO II, Ltd. (“Ischus CDO
II”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and QRS. Ischus CDO II was
established to complete a CDO issuance secured by a portfolio of mortgage-backed
and other asset-backed securities. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had also
formed Apidos Cinco CDO, Ltd. (“Apidos Cinco CDO”), a Cayman Islands limited
liability company that the Company has elected to treat as a TRS. RCC Commercial
purchased 10,000 preference shares in the amount of $5.0 million, constituting
100% of the equity in the CDO, during the warehouse period and intends to
purchase 100% of the equity interest in Apidos Cinco CDO upon termination of
the
warehouse agreement. Apidos Cinco CDO was established to complete the Company’s
third CDO that will be secured by a portfolio of bank loans.
The
consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained
in
the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However,
in
the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all
adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods
presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31,
2006. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 may
not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal
year ending December 31, 2007.
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 2006 consolidated financial statements
to conform to the 2007 presentation.

NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Income
Taxes
For
financial reporting purposes, current and deferred taxes are provided for on
the
portion of earnings recognized by the Company with respect to its interest
in
Resource TRS, a domestic taxable real estate investment trust (“REIT”)
subsidiary, because it is taxed as a regular subchapter C corporation under
the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As of March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, Resource TRS recognized a $145,000 and $67,000,
respectively, provision for income taxes.
Apidos
CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, the Company’s foreign taxable REIT
subsidiaries, are organized as exempted companies incorporated with limited
liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and are generally exempt from
federal and state income tax at the corporate level because their activities
in
the United States are limited to trading in stock and securities for their
own
account. Therefore, despite their status as taxable REIT subsidiaries, they
generally will not be subject to corporate tax on their earnings and no
provision for income taxes is required; however, because they are “controlled
foreign corporations,” the Company will generally be required to include Apidos
CDO I’s, Apidos CDO III’s and Apidos Cinco CDO’s current taxable income in its
calculation of REIT taxable income.
Allowance
for Loan and Lease Losses
At
March
31, 2007, all of the Company’s loans were current with respect to the scheduled
payments of principal and interest. In reviewing the portfolio of loans and
the
observable secondary market prices, the Company did not identify any loans
that
exhibit characteristics indicating that permanent impairment has occurred.
Accordingly, as of March 31, 2007, the Company had not recorded an allowance
for
loan losses.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
123(R), “Share Based Payment,” as of January 1, 2006. Issuances of restricted
stock and options are accounted for using the fair value based methodology
prescribed by SFAS No. 123(R) whereby the fair value of the award is measured
on
the grant date and expensed monthly in stockholders’ equity through an increase
to additional paid-in capital and an offsetting entry to equity compensation
expense - related party on the consolidated statements of income. For issuances
to the Company’s Manager and to non-employees, the unvested stock and options
are adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in fair value as performance under
the
agreement is completed. For issuance to the Company’s four non-employee
directors, the amount is not remeasured under the fair value-based method.
The
compensation for each of these issuances is amortized over the service period
and included in equity compensation expense (see Note 9).
Variable
Interest Entities
During
July 2005, the Company entered into warehouse and master participation
agreements with an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”)
providing that Citigroup will fund the purchase of loans by Apidos CDO III.
On
May 9, 2006, the Company terminated its Apidos CDO III warehouse agreement
with Citigroup upon the closing of the CDO. The warehouse funding liability
was
replaced with the issuance of long-term debt by Apidos CDO III. The Company
owns
100% of the equity issued by Apidos CDO III and is deemed to be the primary
beneficiary. As a result, the Company consolidated Apidos CDO III at December
31, 2006.

During
January 2007, the Company entered into warehouse agreement with an affiliate
of
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, (“CS”) providing that CS will fund the
purchase of bank loans by Apidos Cinco CDO. On January 8, 2007, the Company
purchased 10,000 preference shares for $5.0 million from Apidos Cinco CDO and
guaranteed up to the first $10.0 million in losses. The Company intends to
purchase 100% of the equity issued by Apidos Cinco CDO upon termination of
the
warehouse agreement. As a result, the Company consolidated Apidos Cinco CDO
at
March 31, 2007.
Accounting
for Certain Mortgage-Backed Securities and Related Repurchase
Agreements
In
certain circumstances, the Company has purchased debt investments from a
counterparty and subsequently financed the acquisition of those debt investments
through repurchase agreements with the same counterparty. The Company’s policy
is to currently record the acquisition of the debt investments as assets and
the
related repurchase agreements as financing liabilities gross on the consolidated
balance sheets. Interest income earned on the debt investments and interest
expense incurred on the repurchase obligations are reported gross on the
consolidated statements of income. However, under a certain technical
interpretation of SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets,” such transactions may not qualify as a purchase. Management of the
Company believes, based upon its determination that the method it has adopted
is
industry practice, that it is accounting for these transactions in an
appropriate manner. However, the result of this technical interpretation
would prevent the Company from presenting the debt investments and repurchase
agreements and the related interest income and interest expense on a gross
basis
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Instead, the Company would
present the net investment in these transactions with the counterparty as a
derivative with the corresponding change in fair value of the derivative being
recorded through earnings. The value of the derivative would reflect changes
in
the value of the underlying debt investments and changes in the value of the
underlying credit provided by the counterparty. As of March 31, 2007, the
Company had no transactions in mortgage-backed securities where debt instruments
were financed with the same counterparty. As of December 31, 2006, the Company
had one transaction where debt instruments were financed with the same
counterparty.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.
159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities −
Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items
at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS
159
will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands the disclosure of fair
value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently determining the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157
will have on its financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements − (Continued)
In
September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance for how errors should be
evaluated to assess materiality from a quantitative perspective. SAB 108 permits
companies to initially apply its provisions by either restating prior financial
statements or recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the approach
as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of
January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. SAB 108
is required to be adopted for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006.
The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
financial statements.
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of SFAS 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by creating a framework for how
companies should recognize, measure, present and disclose in their financial
statements uncertain tax positions that they have taken or expect to take in
a
tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption had
no
material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE
3 - RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted
cash consists of $38.3 million of principal and interest payments collected
on
investments held in four CDO trusts, a $2.4 million credit facility reserve
used
to fund future investments that will be acquired by the Company’s two closed
bank loan CDO trusts, a $100,000 expense reserve used to cover CDO operating
expenses and $5.0 million of cash held in escrow in conjunction with Apidos
CDO
Cinco. The remaining $2.5 million interest reserve and security deposits held

4 - SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE − (Continued)
The
temporary impairment of the securities available-for-sale results from the
fair
value of the securities falling below their amortized cost basis and is
primarily attributed to changes in interest rates. The Company intends and
has
the ability to hold the securities until the fair value of the securities held
is recovered, which may be maturity. As such, the Company does not believe
any
of the securities held are other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2007

and RCC Trust II (“RCTII”), respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and
selling trust preferred securities. In accordance with FASB Interpretation
No.
46R (“FIN 46R”), although the Company owns 100% of the common shares of RCTI and
RCTII, RCTI and RCTII are not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated
financial statements because the Company is not deemed to be the primary
beneficiary of these entities. Each respective trust issued $25.0 million of
preferred shares to unaffiliated investors.
In
connection with the issuance and sale of the trust preferred securities, the
Company issued junior subordinated debentures to RCTI and RCTII of $25.8 million
each, representing the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. The debt issuance
costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCTI and RCTII
at
March 31, 2007 were $802,000 and $808,000, respectively. These costs, which
are
included in other assets, are being amortized into interest expense using the
effective yield method over a ten year period.

and
5,738 shares, respectively, as incentive compensation, valued at $172,000 and
$86,000, respectively, pursuant to the management agreement.
In
connection with the July 2006 hiring of a commercial mortgage direct loan
origination team by Resource Real Estate, Inc. (“Resource Real Estate”), a
subsidiary of RAI, (see Related Party Transactions - Note 11), the Company
agreed to issue up to 100,000 shares of common stock and options to purchase
an
additional 100,000 shares of common stock, if certain loan origination
performance thresholds are achieved by this origination team for the Company’s
account. The performance thresholds are two-tiered. Upon the achievement
of $400.0 million of direct loan originations of commercial real estate loans,
60,000 restricted shares of common stock and options to purchase an additional
60,000 shares of common stock are issuable. Upon the achievement of
another $300.0 million of direct loan originations of commercial real estate
loans, a second tranche of 40,000 restricted shares of common stock and options
to purchase another 40,000 shares
of
common stock are issuable. The
restricted shares and options to purchase shares of common stock vest over
a
two-year period after issuance. The Company accounts for equity instruments
issued to non-employees for goods or services in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 123(R) and Emerging Task Force Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for
Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or
in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” ("EITF 96-18"). Accordingly, when
the origination team, none of whom is an employee of the Company, completes
its
performance or when a performance commitment is reached, the Company is required
to measure the fair value of the equity instruments. No expense was recognized
for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as neither a performance commitment
nor completion of performance was achieved.
The
Company has no formal equity award plan. All awards are discretionary in nature
and subject to approval by the compensation committee.

NOTE
12 - DISTRIBUTIONS
In
order
to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of
its
taxable income. In addition, the Company must distribute 100% of its taxable
income in order not to be subject to corporate federal income taxes on retained
income. The Company anticipates it will distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its stockholders. Because taxable income differs from cash
flow from operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses (such as
depreciation), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating
cash
flow in excess of its distributions or, alternatively, may be required to borrow
to make sufficient distribution payments.

On

and
restricted stock held. If an existing stockholder owned shares in other than
a
ten-share increment, the stockholder received an additional warrant. The
warrants will expire on January 13, 2009 and were not exercisable until January
13, 2007. An aggregate of 1,568,244 shares were issuable upon exercise of the
warrants, of which 324,878 shares have been issued as of March 31,

NOTE
13 - INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The
primary market risk to the Company is interest rate risk. Interest rates are
highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax
policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations
and
other factors beyond the Company’s control. Changes in the general level of
interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between
the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense
incurred in connection with the interest-bearing liabilities, by affecting
the
spread between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Changes in the level of interest rates also can affect the value of the
Company’s interest-earning assets and the Company’s ability to realize gains
from the sale of these assets. A decline in the value of the Company’s
interest-earning assets pledged as collateral for borrowings under repurchase
agreements could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral
pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing
levels.
The
Company seeks to manage the extent to which net income changes as a function
of
changes in interest rates by matching adjustable-rate assets with variable-rate
borrowings. During periods of changing interest rates, interest rate mismatches
could negatively impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition,
consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows. In addition,
the
Company mitigates the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime
coupon adjustment restrictions in its investment portfolio by entering into
interest rate hedging agreements such as interest rate caps and interest rate
swaps.
At
March
31, 2007, the Company had 19 interest rate swap contracts and four forward
interest rate swap contracts. The Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.28%
and received a variable rate equal to one-month and three-month LIBOR on the
interest rate swap contracts. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts
was $226.8 million. The Company will pay an average fixed rate of 5.04% and
receive a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR on the forward interest rate
swap contracts, of which $7.0 million commenced in April 2007 and $34.4
million commenced in May 2007. In addition, the Company had one interest
rate cap agreement outstanding whereby it reduced its exposure to variability
in
future cash outflows attributable to changes in LIBOR. The aggregate notional
amount of this contract was $15.0 million at March 31, 2007.

(Continued)
At
December 31, 2006, the Company has 12 interest swap contracts and five forward
interest rate swap contracts. The Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.33%
and received a variable rate equal to one-month and three-month LIBOR on the
interest rate swap contracts. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts
was $150.9 million. The Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.19% and received
a variable rate equal to one-month and three-month LIBOR on the forward interest
rate swap contracts, which commenced in February 2007. The aggregate notional
amount of these contracts was $74.0 million. In addition, the Company had one
interest rate cap agreement outstanding whereby it reduced its exposure to
variability in future cash outflows attributable to changes in LIBOR. The
aggregate notional amount of this contract was $15.0 million at December 31,
2006.
The
fair
value of the Company’s interest rate swaps, forward swaps and interest rate cap
was $(3.7) million and $(3.1) million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $3.8 million
and $3.2 million on the interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap
agreement, as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which
is
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Changes
in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of mortgage principal
prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on mortgage-backed securities in
the
Company’s investment portfolio. The Company seeks to mitigate the effect of
changes in the mortgage principal repayment rate by balancing assets purchased
at a premium with assets purchased at a discount. At March 31, 2007, the
aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s
mortgage-backed securities by approximately $3.1 million. At December 31, 2006,
the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s
mortgage-backed securities by approximately $3.1 million.

identification of the assets subject to the transaction, sale price, repurchase
price and rate. The Company has guaranteed the obligations of SPE 3 under the
agreement.

Overview
We
are a
specialty finance company that focuses primarily on commercial real estate
and
commercial finance. We qualify as a REIT under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our objective is to provide our stockholders
with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital
appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment
strategy. We invest in a combination of real estate-related assets and, to
a
lesser extent, higher-yielding commercial finance assets. We finance a
substantial portion of our portfolio investments through borrowing strategies
seeking to match the maturities and repricing dates of our financings with
the
maturities and repricing dates of those investments, and to mitigate interest
rate risk through derivative instruments. Future distributions and capital
appreciation are not guaranteed, however, and we have only limited operating
history and REIT experience upon which you can base an assessment of our ability
to achieve our objectives.
We
generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive
from our assets and the cost to finance the purchase of those assets and hedge
interest rate risks. We generate revenues from the interest we earn on our
whole
loans, A notes, B notes, mezzanine debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities,
or CMBS, residential mortgage-backed securities, or ABS-RMBS, and other
asset-backed securities, or ABS, bank loans and payments on equipment leases
and
notes. We use a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns and we
finance each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage.
The cost of borrowings to finance our investments comprises a significant part
of our expenses. Our net income will depend on our ability to control these
expenses relative to our revenue. In our ABS-RMBS, CMBS, other ABS, bank loans
and equipment leases and notes, we use warehouse facilities as a short-term
financing source and collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and, to a lesser
extent, other term financing as a long-term financing source. In our commercial
real estate loan portfolio, we use repurchase agreements as a short-term
financing source, and CDOs and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as
a
long-term financing source. We expect that our other term financing will consist
of long-term match-funded financing provided through long-term bank financing
and asset-backed financing programs.
On
December 20, 2006, we received net proceeds of $93.0 million from our follow-on
offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock and we received net proceeds of
$10.1 million on January 8, 2007 on the sale of an additional 650,000 shares
of
common stock pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters' overallotment
option.
As
of
March 31, 2007, we had invested 76.2% of our portfolio in commercial real
estate-related assets, 7.4% in ABS-RMBS and 16.4% in commercial finance assets.
As of December 31, 2006, we had invested 77.2% of our portfolio in commercial
real estate-related assets, 7.4% in ABS-RMBS and 15.4% in commercial finance
assets. If we are unable to maintain the credit quality of our portfolio,
however, our earnings may decrease. Because the amount of leverage we intend
to
use will vary by asset class, our asset allocation may not reflect the relative
amounts of equity capital we have invested in the respective classes.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
following represents our most critical accounting policies and estimates. For
a
complete list of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our annual
report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Securities
Available-for-Sale
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 115, ‘‘Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” requires us to classify our
investment portfolio as either trading investments, available-for-sale
investments or held-to-maturity investments. Although we generally plan to
hold
most of its investments to maturity, we may, from time to time, sell any of
our
investments due to changes in market conditions or in accordance with our
investment strategy. Accordingly, SFAS 115 requires us to classify all of our
investment securities as available-for sale. All investments classified as
available-for-sale are reported at fair value, based on market prices provided
by dealers, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
We
evaluate our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary impairment
charges under SFAS 115, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF,
03-1, ‘‘The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to
Certain Investments.’’ SFAS 115 and EITF 03-1 require an investor to determine
when an investment is considered impaired (i.e., a decline in fair value below
its amortized cost), evaluate whether that impairment is other than temporary
(i.e., the investment value will not be recovered over its remaining life),
and,
if the impairment is other than temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal
to
the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. SFAS 115 also
includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an
other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about
unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary
impairments.
Investment
securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Purchases of newly
issued securities are recorded when all significant uncertainties regarding
the
characteristics of the securities are removed, generally shortly before
settlement date. Realized gains and losses on investment securities are
determined on the specific identification method.
Derivative
Instruments
Our
policies permit us to enter into derivative contracts, including interest rate
swaps and interest rate caps to add stability to our interest expense and to
manage our exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. We
designated these transactions as cash flow hedges. The contracts or hedge
instruments are evaluated at inception and at subsequent balance sheet dates
to
determine if they qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 133
requires that we recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
We record changes in the fair value of the derivative in other comprehensive
income to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a
derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in
earnings.
Interest
Income Recognition
We
accrue
income on our mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities using the
effective yield method based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding
principal amount of the underlying mortgages or other assets. We amortize
or accrete premiums and discounts into interest income over the lives of
the securities also using the effective yield method (or a method that
approximates effective yield), adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments
based on SFAS No. 91, ‘‘Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated
with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.’’ For an
investment purchased at par, the effective yield is the contractual interest
rate on the investment. If we purchase the investment at a discount or at a
premium, we compute the effective yield based on the contractual interest
rate increased for the accretion of a purchase discount or decreased for the
amortization of a purchase premium. The effective yield method requires us
to
make estimates of future prepayment rates for our investments that can be
contractually prepaid before their contractual maturity date
so
that
the purchase discount can be accreted, or the purchase premium can be amortized,
over the estimated remaining life of the investment. The prepayment estimates
that we use directly impact the estimated remaining lives of our investments.
We
review actual prepayment estimates as of each quarter end or more
frequently if we become aware of any material information that would lead us
to
believe that anadjustment is necessary. If prepayment estimates are incorrect,
the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts may have to be adjusted,
which would have an impact on future income.
Loan
Interest Income Recognition
Interest
income on loans includes interest at stated rates adjusted for amortization
or
accretion of premiums and discounts, as discussed in "-Interest Income
Recognition." When we purchase a loan or pool of loans at a discount,
we consider the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position (‘‘SOP’’) 03-3
‘‘Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer’’ to
evaluate whether all or a portion of the discount represents accretable yield.
If a loan with a premium or discount is prepaid, we immediately recognize the
unamortized portion as a decrease or increase to interest income. In addition,
we defer loan origination fees and loan origination costs and recognizes them
over the life of the related loan against interest using the effective yield
method.

Interest
income increased $10.6 million (36%) to $40.0 million for the three months
ended
March 31, 2007, from $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
We
attribute this increase to the following:
Interest
Income from Loans
Interest
income from loans increased $19.3 million (175%) to $30.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 from $11.0 million for the three months ended March
31, 2006.
Bank
loans generated $15.6 million of interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 as compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March
31,
2006, an increase of $8.1 million (108%). This increase resulted primarily
from
the following:
·
|
The
acquisition of $111.6 million of bank loans (net of sales of $34.5
million) during the three months ended March 31, 2006, which were
held for
the entire three months ended March 31, 2007.
|
·
|
The
acquisition of an additional $254.5 million of bank loans (net of
sales of
$94.0 million) since March 31, 2006.
|
·
|
The
increase of the weighted average interest rate on these loans to
7.53% for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 6.74% for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 due to an increase in the LIBOR rate.
|
These
acquisitions and the increase in weighted average rate were partially offset
by
the receipt of principal payments on bank loans totaling $182.7 million since
March 31, 2006.
Commercial
real estate loans produced $14.7 million of interest income for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, an increase of $11.2 million (319%). This increase resulted
from
the following:
·
|
The
acquisition of $40.8 million of commercial real estate loans during
the
three months ended March 31, 2006, which were held for the entire
three
months ended March 31, 2007.
|
·
|
The
acquisition of $344.0 million of commercial real estate loans (net
of
principal payments and sales of $124.6 million) since March 31,
2006.
|
·
|
The
$495,000 acceleration of loan origination fees as a result of loan
sales
that we booked as part of interest
income.
|
·
|
The
increase of the weighted average interest rate on these loans to
8.36% for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 8.04% for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 due to an increase in LIBOR rate at March 31,
2007 as
compared to March 31, 2006. This increase was partially offset by
lower
weighted average spreads, the result of a change in our asset
mix.
|
These
acquisitions and the increase in weighted average rate were partially offset
by
the receipt of principal payments on commercial real estate loans totaling
$83.4
million since March 31, 2006.
Interest
Income - Other
Interest
income-other increased $300,000 (15%) to $2.3 million for the three months
ended
March 31, 2007 as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March
31,
2006.
Our
equipment leasing portfolio generated $1.9 million of interest income for the
three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $506,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.4 million (275%). This increase resulted
from the following:
·
|
The
acquisition of $32.4 million of equipment leases and notes (net of
principal payments and sales of $9.8 million) during the three months
ended March 31, 2006, which were held for the entire three months
ended
March 31, 2007.
|
·
|
The
acquisition of an additional $19.4 million of equipment leases and
notes
(net of principal payments and sales of $45.1 million) since March
31,
2006.
|
Interest
rate swap agreements generated $1.2 million of interest income for the three
months ended March 31, 2006. No such income was generated from the interest
rate
swap agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This was a result
of
decreases in the floating rate index we receive under our swap agreements.
During the current year, the fixed rate we paid exceeded the floating rate
we
received under these same agreements. The resulting interest expense of $22,000
is included in general interest expense for the three months ended March 31,
2007.
Interest
Income from Securities Available-for-Sale
The
increase in interest income was offset by a decrease in interest income from
securities available-for-sale. Interest income from securities
available-for-sale decreased $9.0 million (55%) to $7.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007, from $16.4 million for the three months ended
March
31, 2006.
Interest
income from our agency ABS-RMBS portfolio generated $10.2 million of interest
income for the three months ended March 31, 2006. No interest income from this
portfolio was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result
of the sale of $125.4 million of such securities in January 2006, and the sale
of the remaining $753.1 million of these securities in September
2006.
This
decrease was offset by the contribution from ABS-RMBS of $6.3 million of
interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $5.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $888,000
(16%). This increase resulted primarily from the increase of the weighted
average interest rate on these securities to 7.04% for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 from 6.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
CMBS-private
placement contributed $354,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due
to
the accumulation of securities in this portfolio beginning in December
2006. We held no such securities for the three months ended March 31,
2006.

Interest
expense increased $5.6 million (26%) to $26.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 from $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006. We attribute this increase to the following:
Interest
expense on commercial real estate loans was $6.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, an increase of $4.7 million (259%). This increase resulted
primarily from the following:
·
|
We
closed our first commercial real estate loan CDO, Resource Real Estate
Funding CDO 2006-1 in August 2006. Resource Real Estate Funding CDO
2006-1
issued $308.7 million of senior notes at par consisting of several
classes
with rates ranging from one-month LIBOR plus 0.32% to one-month LIBOR
plus
3.75%. Prior to August 10, 2006, we financed these commercial real
estate loans primarily with repurchase agreements and continue to
do so
for the commercial real estate loans that are not long-term match-funded.
The weighted average interest rate on the repurchase agreements was
5.74%
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and was 6.40% on the senior
notes and repurchase agreements for the three months ended March
31, 2007.
|
·
|
We
continued to finance the growth of our commercial real estate loan
portfolio after the closing of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1
through repurchase agreements. We had weighted average balances of
$405.5
million of repurchase agreements and $124.3 million of repurchase
agreements outstanding at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
|
·
|
We
amortized $233,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to the
Resource
Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 closing for the three months ended
March
31, 2007. No such costs were incurred during the three months ended
March
31, 2006.
|
Interest
expense on bank loans was $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006,
an
increase of $6.3 million (120%). This increase resulted primarily from the
following:
·
|
As
a result of the continued acquisitions of bank loans after the closing
of
Apidos CDO I, we financed our second bank loan CDO (Apidos CDO III)
in May
2006. Apidos CDO III issued $262.5 million of senior notes into several
classes with rates ranging from three-month LIBOR plus 0.26% to
three-month LIBOR plus 4.25%. We used the Apidos CDO III proceeds
to repay
borrowings under a warehouse facility which had a balance at the
time of
repayment of $222.6 million. The weighted average interest rate on
the
senior notes was 5.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2007
as
compared to 4.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 on the
warehouse facility which began accumulating asset in July 2005.
|
·
|
In
August 2005, Apidos CDO I issued $321.5 million of senior notes consisting
of several classes with rates ranging from three-month LIBOR plus
0.26% to
a fixed rate of 9.25%. The weighted average interest rate on the
senior
notes was 5.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared
to
4.92% for the three months ended March 31,
2006.
|
·
|
The weighted
average balance of debt related to bank loans increased by $360.9
million
to $783.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from
$422.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
|
·
|
We
amortized $232,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to the
CDO
financings for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $128,000
for the
three months ended March 31, 2006.
|
ABS-RMBS,
CMBS and other ABS, which we refer to collectively as ABS, were pooled and
financed by Ischus CDO II. Interest expense related to these obligations was
$5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $4.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $752,000
(16%). This increase resulted primarily from the an increase in weighted average
interest rate on the senior notes issued by Ischus CDO II which was 5.84% for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 5.01% for the three months
ended March 31, 2006.
Interest
expense on CMBS-private placement was $337,000 for the three months ended
March
31, 2007 due to the accumulation of securities in this portfolio beginning
in
December 2006. There were no such assets for the three months ended March
31,
2006.
Interest
expense - other increased $300,000 (15%) to $2.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006.
Interest
expense on leasing activities was $1.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007 as compared to $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006,
an
increase of $1.4 million resulting from increases in the amount of direct
financing leases and notes we acquired and the related financing after March
31,
2006 and through March 31, 2007. The assets were acquired with cash until the
facility closed on March 31, 2006 when we entered into a secured term facility.
General
interest expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007
as
compared to $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 an increase
$1.2
million (909%). This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $1.2
million in expense on our unsecured junior subordinated debentures held by
unconsolidated trusts that issued trust preferred securities which were not
issued until May 2006 and September 2006, respectively.
These
increases in interest expense were offset by a $9.1 million decrease in interest
expense related to the agency ABS-RMBS portfolio as a result of the sale and
pay
down of debt on our agency ABS-RMBS portfolio in January and September 2006,
respectively.
Net
Realized Gains (Losses) on Investments
Net
realized gains on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of
$70,000 consisted of $23,000 of net realized gains on the sale of bank loans
and
$45,000 of gains related to the early termination of equipment leases. Net
realized losses on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of
$699,000 primarily consisted of a $1.3 million loss on the sale of a part of
our
Agency ABS-RMBS portfolio and $54,000 of losses on the sale of ABS-RMBS. These
losses were offset by $143,000 of net realized gains on the sale of bank loans
and $570,000 of gains related to the early termination of equipment leases.

Management
fee-related party increased $1.0 million (100%) to $2.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $1.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2006. These amounts represent compensation in the form
of
base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management
agreement. The base management fees increased by $420,000 (48%) to $1.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $880,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was due to increased equity
as a result of our public offerings in February and December 2006 and the
January 2007 exercise of the over-allotment option that was part of the December
2006 follow-on offering. Incentive management fees increased by $640,000 (566%)
to $753,000 from $113,000, as a result of an increase of $4.9 million in our
adjusted GAAP income, as defined in the management agreement, during the three
months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to March 31, 2006. This was partially
offset by an increase during the quarter in two measures used in the
formula calculating the incentive management fee: weighted
average common shares and weighted average offering price per
share.
Equity
compensation-related party decreased $96,000 (16%) to $486,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $582,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2006. These expenses relate to the amortization of the
March 8, 2005 grant of restricted common stock to the Manager, the
March 8, 2005, 2006 and 2007 grants of restricted common stock to our
non-employee independent directors, the March 8, 2005 grant of options to
the Manager to purchase common stock and the January 5, 2007 grant of restricted
stock to several employees of Resource America, Inc., or RAI, who provide
investment management services to us. The decreases in expense were primarily
the result of the vesting of two thirds of the stock and options related to
the
March 8, 2005 grants of restricted stock and options to the manager on March
8,
2006 and March 8, 2007. This was offset by an adjustment related to our
quarterly remeasurement of unvested stock and options to the Manager to reflect
changes in the fair value of our common stock as well as additional expense
related to the January 5, 2007 grant.
Professional
services increased $377,000 (119%) to $693,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 as compared to $316,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2006. This increase was primarily due to a $187,000 increase in audit fees
due
to the timing of when the services were performed and billed as well as an
increase of $154,000 in LEAF servicing expense due to the increase in managed
assets in the three months ended March 31, 2007.
General
and administrative expenses increased $186,000 (50%) to $557,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $371,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2006. These expenses include expense reimbursements
to
our Manager, rating agency expenses and all other operating costs incurred.
These increases were primarily the result of an increase of $145,000 in income
tax expense related to Resource TRS, our taxable REIT subsidiary. Resource
TRS
had no taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Income
Taxes
We
do not
pay federal income tax on income we distribute to our stockholders, subject
to
our compliance with REIT qualification requirements. However, Resource TRS,
our
domestic TRS, is taxed as a regular subchapter C corporation under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. For the three months ended March 31,
2007, Resource TRS recognized a $145,000 provision for income taxes. For the
three months ended March 31, 2006, we did not conduct any of our operations
through Resource TRS.
Apidos
CDO III, one of our foreign TRSs, was formed to complete securitization
transactions structured as secured financings. Apidos CDO III is organized
as an
exempt company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman
Islands and is generally exempt from federal and state income tax at the
corporate level because its activities in the United States is limited to
trading in stock and securities for its own account. Therefore, despite its
status as a TRS, it generally will not be subject to corporate tax on its
earnings and no provision for income taxes is required; however, we generally
will be required to include Apidos CDO III’s current taxable income in our
calculation of REIT taxable income.
Financial
Condition
Summary
Our
total
assets at March 31, 2007 were $2.1 billion, as compared to $1.8 billion at
December 31, 2006. The increase in total assets was principally due to a $257.4
million increase (net of sales and principal payments of $94.4 million) in
bank
loans due to the accumulation of assets for our third CLO, Apidos Cinco CDO,
and
a $78.6 million increase in our commercial real estate loan portfolio resulting
from the purchase of 11 additional loans, all of which are for our second
commercial real estate CDO, and one additional funding on an existing loan
position. Our financial condition at March 31, 2007 was strengthened by the
completion of our initial public offering in February 2006, follow-on offering
in December 2006 and the over-allotment exercise in January 2007, which resulted
in net proceeds of $27.3 million, $93.0 million and $10.0 million (totaling
$130.4 million), respectively, after
deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
We also completed two trust preferred securities issuances, one in May 2006
and the other in September 2006, that
generated net proceeds totaling $48.4 million after issuance costs. As of March
31, 2007, we held $14.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.

At
March
31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we held $304.3 million and $342.8 million,
respectively, of ABS-RMBS, at fair value, which is based on market prices
provided by dealers, net of unrealized gains of $176,000 and $913,000,
respectively, and unrealized losses of $41.7 million and $6.6 million,
respectively. In the aggregate, we purchased our ABS-RMBS portfolio at a
discount as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The remaining discounts
(net of premium) to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the
securities at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $2.5 million and $2.7
million, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our ABS-RMBS
were valued below par, in the aggregate, because of wide credit spreads during
the respective periods. These securities are classified as available-for-sale
and, as a result, are carried at their fair market value.
The
table
below summarizes our ABS-RMBS portfolio as of March 31, 2007 and December 31,

Mortgage-Backed Securities
At
March
31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we held $27.1 million and $27.4 million,
respectively, of CMBS at fair value, which is based on market prices provided
by
dealers, net of unrealized gains of $3,000 and $23,000, respectively, and
unrealized losses of $830,000 and $536,000, respectively. In the aggregate,
we
purchased our CMBS portfolio at a discount. As of March 31, 2007 and December
31, 2006, the remaining discount (net of premium) to be accreted into income
over the remaining lives of the securities was $333,000 and $343,000,
respectively. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as
a
result, are carried at their fair market value.

Commercial
Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement
At
March
31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we held $27.3 million and $30.1 million,
respectively, of CMBS-private placement at fair value which is based on market
prices provided by dealers, net of unrealized gains of $12,000 and $0,
respectively, and unrealized losses of $117,000 and $0, respectively. The
portfolio was purchased at a discount. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31,
2006, the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining
lives
of the securities was $173,000 and $0, respectively. These securities are
classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair
value.
The
table
below summarizes our CMBS-private placement as of March 31, 2007 and December
31, 2006 (in thousands, except percentages). Dollar price is computed by
dividing amortized cost by par amount.

Bank
Loans
At
March
31, 2007, we held a total of $872.7 million of bank loans at fair value, of
which $619.1 million are held by and secure the debt issued by Apidos CDO I
and
Apidos CDO III and $253.6 million were financed and held on our Apidos Cinco
CDO
warehouse facility. This is an increase of $258.9 million over our holdings
at
December 31, 2006. The increase in total bank loans was principally due to
the
accumulation of bank loans for Apidos Cinco CDO. We own 100% of the equity
issued by Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III which we have determined are variable
interest entities, or VIEs and are, therefore, deemed to be their primary
beneficiaries. See “-Variable Interest Entities.” On January 8, 2007, we
purchased 10,000 preference shares in Apidos Cinco CDO and intend to
purchase 100% of the equity issued by Apidos Cinco CDO upon termination of
the
warehouse agreement. As a result, we consolidated Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO
III
and Apidos Cinco CDO as of March 31, 2007.
The

Variable
Interest Entities
In
December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FIN
46-R which addresses the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
“Consolidated Financial Statements,” to a variable interest entity, or VIE, and
requires that the assets, liabilities and results of operations of a VIE be
consolidated into the financial statements of the enterprise that has a
controlling financial interest in it. The interpretation provides a framework
for determining whether an entity should be evaluated for consolidation based
on
voting interests or significant financial support provided to the entity which
we refer to as variable interests. We consider all counterparties to a
transaction to determine whether a counterparty is a VIE and, if so, whether
our
involvement with the entity results in a variable interest in the entity. We
perform analyses to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. As of
March 31, 2007, we determined that Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1,
Ischus CDO II, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO were VIEs
and
that we were the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. We own 100% of the equity
interests of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Ischus CDO II, Apidos
CDO
I, Apidos CDO III. On January 8, 2007, we purchased 10,000 preference shares
of
Apidos Cinco CDO and guaranteed up to the first $10.0 million in losses on
the warehouse facility used to accumulate investments for Apidos Cinco CDO.
We
intend to purchase 100% of the equity issued by Apidos Cinco CDO upon
termination of the warehouse agreement. As a result of the application of FIN
46-R, we consolidated $1.5 billion of assets for these entities onto our balance
sheet; however, only our equity investments in these VIEs, amounting to $160.4
million as of March 31, 2007, is available to our creditors.
Interest
Receivable
At
March
31, 2007, we had accrued interest receivable of $12.5 million, which consisted
of $12.2 million of interest on our securities, loans and equipment leases
and
notes, $117,000 of purchased interest that had been accrued on securities and
loans purchased and $173,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts.
At
December 31, 2006, we had accrued interest receivable of $8.8 million, which
consisted of $8.7 million of interest on our securities, loans and equipment
leases and notes, $8,000 of purchased interest that had been accrued on
commercial real estate loans purchased and $73,000 of interest earned on
brokerage and sweep accounts.
Principal
Paydown Receivables
At
March
31, 2007, we had principal paydown receivables of $1.5 million, which consisted
of $1.0 million principal payments on our bank loans and $492,000 of principal
payments on our commercial real estate loans. At December 31, 2006, we had
principal paydown receivables of $503,000, which consisted of principal payments
on our bank loans.
Other
Assets
Other
assets at March 31, 2007 of $3.3 million consisted primarily of $2.8 million
of
loan origination costs associated with our revolving credit facility, commercial
real estate loan portfolio and secured term facility, $430,000 of prepaid
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and $102,000 of prepaid expenses.
Other
assets at December 31, 2006 of $3.1 million consisted primarily of $2.9 million
of loan origination costs associated with our trust preferred securities
issuance, revolving credit facility, commercial real estate loan portfolio
and
secured term facility and $92,000 of prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance.
Hedging
Instruments
Our
hedges at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, were fixed-for-floating interest
rate swap agreements whereby we swapped the floating rate of interest on the
liabilities we hedged for a fixed rate of interest. We also had one interest
rate cap. As of December 31, 2006, we had entered into hedges with a notional
amount of $239.9 million and maturities ranging from November 2009 to February
2017. At December 31, 2006, the unrealized loss on our interest rate swap
agreements and interest rate cap agreement was $3.1 million. We intend to
continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future. Our
hedges at March 31, 2007 were as follows (in thousands):

Borrowings
Repurchase
Agreements
We
have
entered into repurchase agreements to finance our commercial real estate loans
and CMBS-private placement portfolio. We discuss these repurchase agreements
at
“-Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below. These agreements are secured by the
financed assets and bear interest rates that have historically moved in close
relationship to LIBOR. At March 31, 2007, we had established ten borrowing
arrangements with various financial institutions and had utilized five of these
arrangements, principally our arrangement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA)
LLC, the initial purchaser and placement agent for our March 2005 offering
and
one of the underwriters in our two public offerings. None of the counterparties
to these agreements are affiliates of the Manager or us.
Our subsidiary, RCC Commercial, Inc., has received a waiver from CS as of
and
for the period ended March 31, 2007 with respect to our compliance with the
net
asset value decline. The waiver was required due to the unrealized loss on
our
ABS-RMBS portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
We
seek
to renew the repurchase agreements we use to finance asset acquisitions as
they
mature under the then-applicable borrowing terms of the counterparties to our
repurchase agreements. Through March 31, 2007, we have encountered no
difficulties in effecting renewals of our repurchase agreements.
Collaterized
Debt Obligations
As
of
March 31, 2007, we had closed four CDO transactions. In August 2006, we closed
Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, a $345.0 million CDO transaction that
provided financing for commercial real estate loans. The investments held by
Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 collateralized $308.7 million of senior
notes issued by the CDO vehicle, of which RCC Real Estate, Inc., or RCC Real
Estate, purchased 100% of the class J senior notes (rated BB:Moody’s) and class
K senior notes (rated B:Moody’s) for $43.1 million. At March 31, 2007, the notes
had a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.14%. In May 2006, we closed Apidos
CDO III, a $285.5 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank
loans. The investments held by Apidos CDO III collateralized $262.5 million
of
senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. At March 31, 2007, the notes had a
weighted average borrowing rate of 5.81%. In August 2005, we closed Apidos
CDO
I, a $350.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans.
The
investments held by Apidos CDO I collateralize $321.5 million of senior notes
issued by the CDO vehicle. At March 31, 2007, the notes had a weighted average
borrowing rate of 5.83%. In July 2005, we closed Ischus CDO II, a $403.0 million
CDO transaction that provided financing for MBS and other ABS. The investments
held by Ischus CDO II collateralize $376.0 million of senior notes issued by
the
CDO vehicle. At March 31, 2007, the notes had a weighted average borrowing
rate
of 5.80%.
Trust
Preferred Securities
In
May
and September 2006, we formed Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II,
respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred
securities. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
Interpretation No. 46-R, or FIN 46-R, Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust
II
are not consolidated into our consolidated financial statements because we
are
not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust. We own 100% of the
common shares of each trust, each of which issued $25.0 million of preferred
shares to unaffiliated investors. Our rights as the holder of the common shares
of each trust are subordinate to the rights of the holders of preferred shares
only in the event of a default; otherwise, our economic and voting rights are
pari passu with the preferred shareholders. We record each of our investments
in
the trusts’ common shares of $774,000 as an investment in unconsolidated
entities and record dividend income upon declaration by each trust.
In
connection with the issuance and sale of the trust preferred securities, we
issued $25.8 million principal amount of junior subordinated debentures to
each
of Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II. The junior subordinated debentures
debt issuance costs are deferred in other assets in the consolidated balance
sheets. We record interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures and
amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of income.
At
March 31, 2007, the junior subordinated debentures had a weighted average
borrowing rate of 9.31%.
Warehouse
Facility
In
January 2007, we formed Apidos Cinco CDO and began borrowing on a warehouse
facility provided by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to purchase bank loans.
At March 31, 2007, $254.0 million was outstanding under the facility. The
facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.625% which was 5.95% at March
31, 2007.
Term
Facility
In
March
2006, we entered into a secured term credit facility with Bayerische Hypo -
und
Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch to finance the purchase of equipment leases
and
notes. The maximum amount of our borrowing under this facility is $100.0
million. At March 31, 2007, $84.5 million was outstanding under the facility.
The facility bears interest at one of two rates, determined by asset class.
The
interest rate was 6.33% at March 31, 2007.
Credit
Facility
In
December 2005, we entered into a $15.0 million corporate credit facility with
Commerce Bank, N.A. This facility was increased to $25.0 million in April 2006.
The unsecured revolving credit facility permits us to borrow up to the lesser
of
the facility amount and the sum of 80% of the sum of our unsecured assets rated
higher than Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by Standard and Poor’s
plus our interest receivables plus 65% of our unsecured assets rated lower
than
Baa3 by Moody’s and BBB- from Standard and Poor’s. Up to 20% of the borrowings
under the facility may be in the form of standby letters of credit. At March
31,
2007, no balance was outstanding under this facility. The interest rate varies
from, in the case of LIBOR loans, from the adjusted LIBOR rate (as defined
in
the agreement) plus between 1.50% to 2.50% depending upon our leverage ratio
(the ratio of consolidated total liability to consolidated tangible net worth)
or, in the case of base rate loans, from Commerce Bank’s base rate plus between
0.50% and 1.50% also depending upon our leverage ratio.
We
received a waiver for the period ended March 31, 2007 from Commerce Bank,
N.A.
with respect to our non-compliance with the consolidated tangible net worth
covenant. The waiver was required due to the unrealized loss on our ABS-RMBS
portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Under the covenant,
we
are required to maintain a consolidated net worth (stockholder’s equity) of at
least $195.0 million plus 90% of the net proceeds of any capital transactions,
measured at each quarter end, as further described in the
agreement.
Stockholders’
Equity
Stockholders’
equity at March 31, 2007 was $295.4 million and included $42.6 million
of net
unrealized losses on our ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS portfolio, $105,000
of
unrealized losses on our CMBS-private placement portfolio and $3.8 million
of
unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated
other
comprehensive loss. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2006 was $317.6 million
and included $6.0 million of net unrealized losses on our ABS-RMBS, CMBS
and
other ABS portfolio and $3.2 million of unrealized losses on cash flow
hedges,
shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The
decrease in stockholders’ equity during the three months ended March 31, 2007
was principally due to an increase of $36.6 million in the unrealized
losses in
the ABS-RMBS portfolio held by Ischus II CDO. The unrealized losses were
due
primarily to significant widening in interest rate spreads in the ABS-RMBS
market, which produced illiquidity and increased levels of risk premium
attached
to these types of securities. The Ischus II investment is the only
residential mortgage exposure in our portfolio. Our investment and, as
a
consequence, our risk exposure in Ischus II CDO is limited to our original
$27.0
million investment. However, as a result of the application of FIN 46R, we
are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Ischus II CDO and must consolidate
its assets and liabilities with ours. Consequently, the full $42.6 million
of
unrealized loss experienced by Ischus II CDO is reflected in our other
comprehensive income, notwithstanding that our maximum risk exposure
is $27.0
million. We intend and have the ability to hold the securities until
the fair
value of the securities held is recovered, which may be maturity. We
do not
believe that any of the securities held are other than temporarily impaired
at
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively.
The
decrease in the ABS-RMBS portfolio was partially offset by the exercise of
the
over allotment of 650,000 shares of common stock related to the December
2006
follow-on offering at a price of $16.50 per share of common stock. The offering
generated net proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.1
million. The decrease in stockholders equity was also offset by the exercise
of
324,878 warrants at a price of $15.00 per share of common stock during the
three
months ended March 31, 2007.
Fluctuations
in market values of assets do not impact our income determined in accordance
with GAAP, or our taxable income, but rather are reflected on our consolidated
balance sheets by changing the carrying value of the asset and stockholders’
equity under ‘‘Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).’’ By accounting
for our assets in this manner, we hope to provide useful information to
stockholders and creditors and to preserve flexibility to sell assets in
the
future without having to change accounting methods.
Estimated
REIT Taxable Income
We
calculate estimated REIT taxable income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure,
according to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The following table
reconciles net income to estimated REIT taxable income for the periods presented
(in thousands):

We
believe that a presentation of estimated REIT taxable income provides useful
information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of
operations as this measurement is used to determine the amount of dividends
that
we are required to declare to our stockholders in order to maintain our status
as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Since we, as a REIT, expect to make
distributions based on taxable earnings, we expect that our distributions may
at
times be more or less than our reported earnings. Total taxable income is the
aggregate amount of taxable income generated by us and by our domestic and
foreign taxable REIT subsidiaries. Estimated REIT taxable income excludes the
undistributed taxable income of our domestic taxable REIT subsidiary, if any
such income exists, which is not included in REIT taxable income until
distributed to us. There is no requirement that our domestic taxable REIT
subsidiary distribute its earning to us. Estimated REIT taxable income, however,
includes the taxable income of our foreign taxable REIT subsidiaries because
we
will generally be required to recognize and report their taxable income on
a
current basis. We use estimated REIT taxable income for this purpose. Because
not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of estimated
REIT taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures
of
other companies.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Through
March 31, 2007, our principal sources of funds were the net proceeds of
$10.1
million from the exercise of the over-allotment option related to our December
2006 follow-on offering, repurchase agreements totaling $208.9 million
and a
bank loan warehouse facility totaling $254.0 million. We expect to continue
to
borrow funds in the form of repurchase agreements to finance our commercial
real
estate loan portfolio and CMBS-private placement, through warehouse agreements
to finance bank loans, other ABS, trust preferred securities and private
equity
investments and through our secured term facility to finance our equipment
leases and notes, in each case prior to the execution of CDOs and other
term
financing vehicles. The remaining capacity under our repurchase agreements
with
maximum borrowing capacities at March 31, 2007 was $264.9 million.
We
anticipate that, upon repayment of each borrowing under a repurchase agreement,
we will immediately use the collateral released by the repayment as collateral
for borrowing under a new repurchase agreement. We also anticipate that
our
borrowings under any warehouse credit facility will be refinanced through
the
issuance of CDOs. Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various
funding
strategies we use. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our leverage
ratio was 6.1 times and 4.6 times, respectively. This increase was primarily
due
to increasing borrowings using the proceeds received from our follow-on
offering
in December 2006 and the availability on our warehouse line facility for
Apidos
Cinco CDO.
Our liquidity needs consist principally of funds to make investments, make distributions to our stockholders and pay our operating expenses, including our management fees. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and, with respect to our investments, our ability to obtain additional debt financing and equity capital. Through March 31, 2007, we have not experienced difficulty in obtaining debt financing. We may increase our capital resources through offerings of equity securities (possibly including common stock and one or more classes of preferred stock), CDOs, trust preferred securities issuances or other forms of term financing. Such financing will depend on market conditions. If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on substantially similar terms, we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments. If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such assets, which would result in losses and reduced income.
On
March
20, 2007, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.39 per share of common
stock, $9.7 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 16, 2007 to
stockholders of record as of March 30, 2007.
We
held
cash and cash equivalents of $14.5 million at March 31, 2007.
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
The
table
below summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2006. The table
below excludes contractual commitments related to our derivatives, which we
discuss in our Annual Report on From 10-K for fiscal 2005 in Item 7A −
“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” and the management
agreement that we have with our Manager, which we discuss in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 in Item 1 − “Business” − and Item 13 − “Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions” because
those contracts do not have fixed and determinable payments.

At
March
31, 2007, we had 19 interest rate swap contracts and 4 forward interest rate
swap contracts with a notional value of $268.2 million. These contracts are
fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements under which we contracted
to
pay a fixed rate of interest for the term of the hedge and will receive a
floating rate of interest. As of March 31, 2007, the average fixed pay rate
of
our interest rate hedges was 5.28% and our receive rate was one-month and
three-month LIBOR, or 5.32%. As of March 31, 2007, the average fixed pay rate
of
our forward interest rate hedges was 5.04% and our receive rate was one-month
LIBOR. One of our forward interest rate swap contracts became effective in
April
2007 and three will became effective in May 2007.
At
March
31, 2007, we also had one interest rate cap with a notional value of $15.0
million. This cap reduces our exposure to the variability in future cash flows
attributable to changes in LIBOR.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of
March 31, 2007, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated
entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as
structured finance or special purpose entities or variable interest entities,
established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements
or
contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, as of March 31, 2007, we
had
not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any
commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such
entities.
Recent
Developments
Our
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, RCC Real Estate SPE 3, LLC, or SPE 3, entered
into a $150,000,000 master repurchase agreement executed on April 20, 2007
(effective April 12, 2007) with Natixis Real Estate Capital, Inc. to be used
as
a warehouse facility to finance the purchase of commercial real estate loans.
The financing provided by the agreement matures April 18, 2010 subject to a
one-year extension at the option of SPE 3 and subject further to the right
of
SPE 3 to repurchase the assets held in the facility earlier. We paid a facility
fee of 0.75% of the maximum facility amount, or $1.125 million, at closing.
Each
repurchase transaction specifies its own terms, such as identification of the
assets subject to the transaction, sale price, repurchase price and rate. We
have guaranteed the obligations of SPE 3 under the agreement.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As
of
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the primary component of our market risk
was interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk
completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical
experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to
justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the
risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.
The
following sensitivity analysis tables show, at March 31, 2007 and December
31,
2006, the estimated impact on the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive
investments and liabilities of changes in interest rates, assuming rates
instantaneously fall 100 basis points and rise 100 basis points (dollars in

the fair value of other available-for-sale investments that are sensitive
to interest rate changes.
|
(2)
|
The
fair value of the repurchase agreements and warehouse agreements
would not
change materially due to the short-term nature of these
instruments.
|
For purposes of the tables, we have excluded our investments with variable
interest rates that are indexed to LIBOR. Because the variable rates on these
instruments are short-term in nature, we are not subject to material exposure
to
movements in fair value as a result of changes in interest rates.
It
is
important to note that the impact of changing interest rates on fair value
can
change significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from
current levels. Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could
increase significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from
current levels. In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest
rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the
yield curve, market expectations as to future interest rate changes and other
market conditions. Accordingly, in the event of changes in actual interest
rates, the change in the fair value of our assets would likely differ from
that
shown above and such difference might be material and adverse to our
stockholders.
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to
apply
its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures.
Under
the
supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we
have
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable
assurance level.
There
were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that have partially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our
internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal
quarter.
