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 year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 based, among other things, on the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.” where it was determined that the Company was most closely associated with each VIE including the existence of a principal-agency relationship where the Company is the principal. In its capacity as manager, the Company has supported two credits in one of its commercial real estate (“CRE”) CDOs as it went through a restructure in order to maximize the future cash flows. The Company has provided no other financial support to any other of its VIEs.

NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company.

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Investment Securities

The Company classifies its investment portfolio as trading or available-for-sale. The Company, from time to time, may sell any of its investments due to changes in market conditions or in accordance with its investment strategy.

The Company’s investment securities, trading are reported at fair value (see Note 17). To determine fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes or bids which are validated using an income approach utilizing appropriate prepayment, default, and recovery rates. Any changes in fair value are recorded in the Company’s results of operations as net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities, trading.

The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value (see Note 17). To determine fair value, the Company uses a dealer quote, which typically will be the dealer who sold the Company the security. The Company has been advised that, in formulating their quotes, dealers may use recent trades in the particular security, if any, market activity in similar securities, if any, or internal valuation models. These quotes are non-binding. Based on how dealers develop their quotes, market liquidity and levels of trading, the Company categorizes these investments as either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the quotes it receives by applying its own valuation models. If there is a material difference between a quote the Company receives and the value indicated by its valuation models, the Company will evaluate the difference. As part of that evaluation, the Company will discuss the difference with the dealer, who may revise its quote based upon these discussions. Alternatively, the Company may revise its valuation models.

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary impairment. An available-for-sale investment is impaired when its fair value has declined below its amortized cost basis. An impairment is considered other-than-temporary when the amortized cost basis of the investment or some portion thereof will not be recovered. In addition, the Company’s intent to sell as well as the likelihood that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis is considered. Where credit quality is believed to be the cause of the other-than-temporary impairment, that component of the impairment is recognized as an impairment loss in the statement of operations. Where other market components are believed to be the cause of the impairment, that component of the impairment is recognized as other comprehensive loss.

Investment security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment securities are determined on the specific identification method.

Investment Securities Interest Income Recognition

Interest income on the Company’s mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities is accrued using the effective yield method based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal amount of the underlying mortgages or other assets. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the securities also using the effective yield method, adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments. For an investment purchased at par, the effective yield is the contractual interest rate on the investment. If the investment is purchased at a discount or at a premium, the effective yield is computed 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 the Company to make estimates of future prepayment rates for its 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 the Company uses directly impact the estimated remaining lives of its investments. Actual prepayment estimates are reviewed as of each quarter end or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any material information that would lead it to believe that an adjustment 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.

Allowance for Loan Loss

The Company maintains an allowance for loan loss. Loans held for investment are first individually evaluated for impairment so specific reserves can be applied. Loans for which a specific reserve is not applicable are then evaluated for impairment as a homogeneous pool of loans with substantially similar characteristics so that a general reserve can be established, if needed. The reviews are performed at least quarterly.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired if one of two conditions exists. The first condition is if, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The second condition is if the loan is deemed to be a troubled-debt restructuring (“TDR”) where a concession has been given to a borrower in financial difficulty. These TDRs may not have an associated specific loan loss allowance if the principal and interest amount is considered recoverable based on current market conditions, expected collateral performance and / or guarantees made by the borrowers.

When a loan is impaired under either of these two conditions, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value. Fair value may be determined based on the present value of estimated cash flows; on market price, if available; or on the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs. When a loan, or a portion thereof, is considered uncollectible and pursuit of collection is not warranted, the Company will record a charge-off or write-down of the loan against the allowance for loan losses.

An impaired loan may remain on accrual status during the period in which the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan; however, the loan would be placed on non-accrual status at such time as (i) management believes that scheduled debt service payments will not be met within the coming 12 months; (ii) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; (iii) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment; or (iv) the net realizable value of the loan’s underlying collateral approximates the Company’s carrying value for such loan. While on non-accrual status, the Company recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received.

Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are carried net of accumulated depreciation. Costs directly related to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Ordinary repairs and maintenance which are not reimbursed by the tenants are expensed as incurred. Costs related to the improvement of the real property are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life.

Acquisitions of real estate assets and any related intangible assets are recorded initially at fair value under FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” The Company allocates the purchase price of its investments in real estate to land, building, site improvements, the value of in-place leases and the value of above or below market leases. The value allocated to above or below market leases is amortized over the remaining lease term as an adjustment to rental income. The Company amortizes the value allocated to in-place leases over the weighted average remaining lease term to depreciation and amortization expense. The Company depreciates real property using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



	Category		Term
	Building		25 – 40 years
	Site improvements		Lesser of the remaining life of building or useful life

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition. If impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the fair value of the asset.

Recent Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which changes the presentation of comprehensive income. It eliminates the option to present comprehensive income as part of the changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, it requires consecutive disclosure of comprehensive income either as part of the statement of net income or in a statement immediately following. Finally, the guidance requires disclosure on the face of the financial statements of any reclassifications between net income and other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB updated the guidance to defer the requirement related to the presentation of certain reclassification adjustments. Adoption required an additional statement to disclose the Company’s comprehensive income, which is included with these financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance which revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The determination of whether the transfer of a financial asset subject to a repurchase agreement is a sale is based, in part, on whether the entity maintains effective control over the financial asset. The amendments in this guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.

CMBS of a $6.7 million maturing in this category are collateralized by floating-rate loans and, as permitted under the CMBS terms, are expected to extend their maturities, because, beyond their contractual extensions which expired or will expire this year, the servicer may allow further extensions of the underlying floating rate loans. The Company expects that the remaining $53.5 million of CMBS will either have their maturity date extended or be paid in full. ABS of $950,000 maturing in this category were subsequently extended until March, 2018.

The contractual maturities of the CMBS investment securities available-for-sale range from November 2012 to April 2027. The contractual maturities of the ABS investment securities available-for-sale range from February 2013 to September 2022.

The Company held 27 and eight CMBS investment securities available-for-sale that have been in a loss position for more than 12 months as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company held 11 and seven ABS investment securities available-for-sale that have been in a loss position for more than 12 months as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The unrealized losses in the above table are considered to be temporary impairments due to market factors and are not reflective of credit deterioration.

The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a subjective process, and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization. The Company reviews its portfolios and makes other-than-temporary impairment determinations at least quarterly. The Company considers the following factors when determining if there is an other-than-temporary impairment on a security:


•	the length of time the market value has been less than amortized cost;


•	the severity of the impairment;


•	the expected loss of the security as generated by a third-party valuation model;


•	original and current credit ratings from the rating agencies;


•	underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities;


•	whether, based upon the Company’s intent, it is more likely than not that the Company will sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis; and


•	third-party support for default, for recovery, prepayment speed and reinvestment price assumptions.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $176.9 million and $132.8 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $15.4 million and $28.7 million, respectively), of CMBS recorded at fair value. To determine fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes which are either provided by our trade or financing counterparties (see Note 2). As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $176.9 million and $123.9 million, respectively, of investment securities available-for-sale were valued using dealer quotes and $0 and $8.9 million, respectively, were valued using an internal valuation model.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $27.4 million and $25.2 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $327,000 and $3.3 million), of ABS recorded at fair value (see Note 2). To determine their fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes.

(Unaudited)

The Company’s securities classified as available-for-sale have increased in fair value on a net basis as of September 30, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011 primarily due to improving dealer marks and new purchases in 2012. The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying properties in order to analyze current and projected security performance. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company’s income approach when determining other-than-than temporary impairment and, when inputs are subjected to testing for economic changes within possible ranges, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal and interest indicating no impairment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a $4.6 million other-than-temporary impairment on one fixed rate position that supported the Company’s CMBS investments bringing the fair value to $48,000. The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company sold two CMBS positions with a total par of $7.0 million and recognized a gain of $912,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold three CMBS positions with a total par of $15.0 million and recognized a gain of $3.5 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, no CMBS sales occurred.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company sold two and five ABS positions with a total par of $1.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and recognized gains of $89,000 and $111,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, no ABS sales occurred.

Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of mortgage principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on CMBS in the Company’s investment portfolio. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the aggregate discount due to interest rate changes exceeded the aggregate premium due to interest rate changes on the Company’s CMBS by approximately $12.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the aggregate discount on the Company’s ABS portfolio was $3.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company foreclosed on one self-originated loan and converted it to an investment in real estate. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company converted two self-originated loans to investments in real estate and acquired one real estate asset, summarized as follows:


•	On September 6, 2012, the Company foreclosed on a self-originated loan and converted the loan to equity with a fair value of $25.5 million at acquisition. The loan was collateralized by a 179 unit hotel property in Coconut Grove, Florida. The property was 75% occupied at acquisition.


•	On June 14, 2011, the Company converted a self-originated loan to equity with a fair value of $22.4 million at acquisition. The loan was collateralized by a 400 unit multi-family property in Memphis, Tennessee. The property was 93.8% occupied at acquisition.


•	On June 24, 2011, the Company converted a self-originated loan to equity with a fair value of $10.7 million at acquisition. The loan was collateralized by an office building in Pacific Palisades, California. The property was 60% occupied at acquisition.


•	On August 1, 2011, the Company, through its subsidiary RCC Real Estate, purchased Whispertree Apartments, a 504 multi-family property located in Houston, Texas, for $18.1 million, the fair value. The property was 95% occupied at acquisition. In conjunction with the purchase of this property, the Company entered into a mortgage in the amount of $13.6 million.

A summary of the aggregate estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired on the respective date of acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is presented below (in thousands):

The Company has not yet completed the process of estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the new investment in real estate acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Accordingly, the Company's preliminary estimates and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as the Company completes the process. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, changes, if any, to the preliminary estimates and allocation will be reported in the Company's financial statements retrospectively.

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company accounted for the acquisition of Whispertree Apartments as a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company obtained the final appraisal of the property. Based on the final appraisal, the Company adjusted the value of the land and the value of the building by $3.9 million, respectively, as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, these adjustments were recognized and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The following is a summary of the allocation of the allowance for loan loss with respect to the Company’s commercial real estate and bank loans (in thousands, except percentages) by asset class:



Description	Allowance for Loan Loss		Percentage of Total Allowance
September 30, 2012:
B notes	$	207	1.61%
Mezzanine loans	858		6.67%
Whole loans	6,648		51.76%

Bank loans	3,297		11.98%
Total	$	27,518

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had recorded an allowance for loan losses of $12.8 million consisting of a $5.1 million allowance on the Company’s bank loan portfolio and a $7.7 million allowance on the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio as a result of the provisions taken on three bank loans and two commercial real estate loans as well as the maintenance of a general reserve with respect to the bank loan portfolio. The whole loan allowance decreased $15.9 million from $22.5 million as of December 31, 2011 to $6.6 million as of September 30, 2012.

NOTE 8 – INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

On November 16, 2011, the Company, together with LEAF Financial and LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LCC”), a commercial finance company specializing in equipment leasing formed in January 2011, each of which is a subsidiary of Resource America, entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements (collectively the “SPA”) with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm, and its affiliates (“Eos”). In exchange for its prior interest in LCC, the Company received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 4,872 shares of newly issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis assuming conversion, a 26.7% interest in LCC. The Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $36.3 million based on a third-party valuation. Several approaches were used, including discounted expected cash flows, market approach and comparable sales transactions to estimate the fair value of its investment in LCC as a result of the transaction. These approaches required assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which were based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions. The Company recorded a loss of $2.2 million in conjunction with the transaction. The Company’s resulting interest is accounted for under the equity method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded losses of $1.0 million and $2.3 million , respectively, which were recorded in other expense on the consolidated statement of income. The Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $34.0 million as of September 30, 2012.

The Company has a 100% interest valued at $1.5 million in the common shares (3% of the total equity) in two trusts, Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“RCT II”). The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of either trust, nor does it have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to these trusts. Therefore, the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust and they are not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and records dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized $626,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures it issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $46,000 and $136,000, respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized $896,000 and $2.7 million, respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures it issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $79,000 and $233,000, respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. The Company will continuously reassess whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

On December 1, 2009, the Company purchased a membership interest in RRE VIP Borrower, LLC (an unconsolidated VIE that holds the Company's interests in a real estate joint venture) from Resource America at book value. This joint venture, which is structured as a credit facility with Värde Investment Partners, LP acting as lender, finances the acquisition of distressed properties and mortgage loans and has the objective of repositioning both the directly-owned properties and the properties underlying the mortgage loans to enhance their value. The Company acquired the membership interests for $2.1 million. The agreement requires the Company to contribute 3% to 5% (depending on the asset agreement) of the total funding required for each asset acquisition on a monthly basis. Resource Real Estate Management, LLC (“RREM”), an affiliate of Resource America, acts as asset manager of the venture and receives a monthly asset management fee equal to 1% of the combined investment calculated as of the last calendar day of the month. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company paid RREM management fees of $11,000 and $35,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded income of $346,000 and $931,000 , respectively, which was recorded in other expense on the consolidated statement of income. The investment balance of $3.0 million at September 30, 2012 is recorded as an investment in unconsolidated entities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet using the equity method.

On June 19, 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture with Värde Investment Partners, LP acting as lender, to purchase two condominium developments. The Company purchased a 7.5% equity interest in the venture. RREM, was appointed as the asset manager of the venture to perform lease review and approval, debt service collection, loan workout, foreclosure, disposition and permitting, as applicable. RREM is also responsible for engaging third parties to perform day-to-day property management, property leasing, rent collection, maintenance, and capital improvements. RREM receives an annual asset management fee equal to 1.0% of outstanding contributions. The Company incurred fees payable to RREM of $22,000 during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded losses of $96,000, which were recorded in other expense on the consolidated statement of income.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign grades to bank loans. Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-5 with 1 representing the Company’s highest rating and 5 representing its lowest rating. The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period end at the lower of their fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales. The Company considers such things as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies, and industry dynamics in grading its bank loans.

Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures

In May 2006 and September 2006, the Company formed RCT I and RCT II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests. Although the Company owns 100% of the common securities of RCT I and RCT II, RCT I and RCT II are not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities. In connection with the issuance and sale of the capital securities, the Company issued junior subordinated debentures to RCT I and RCT II of $25.8 million each, representing the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II are included in borrowings and are being amortized into interest expense in the consolidated statements of income using the effective yield method over a ten year period.

The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at September 30, 2012 were $381,000 and $400,000, respectively. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at December 31, 2011, were $450,000 and $467,000, respectively. The rates for RCT I and RCT II, at September 30, 2012, were 4.41% and 4.40%, respectively. The rates for RCT I and RCT II, at December 31, 2011, were 4.32% and 4.38%, respectively.

The rights of holders of common securities of RCT I and RCT II are subordinate to the rights of the holders of capital securities only in the event of a default; otherwise, the common securities’ economic and voting rights are pari passu with the capital securities. The capital and common securities of RCT I and RCT II are subject to mandatory redemption upon the maturity or call of the junior subordinated debentures held by each. Unless earlier dissolved, RCT I will dissolve on May 25, 2041 and RCT II will dissolve on September 29, 2041. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of RCT I and RCT II, mature on September 30, 2036 and October 30, 2036, respectively, and may be called at par by the Company any time after September 30, 2011 and October 30, 2011, respectively. The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common securities of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts and records dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II.

NOTE 16 – 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 provisions for loan and lease losses and 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.

NOTE 17 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In analyzing the fair value of its investments accounted for on a fair value basis, the Company follows the fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or, if quoted prices are not available, through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The hierarchy followed defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter; depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following is a discussion of these assets and liabilities as well as the valuation techniques applied to each for fair value measurement.

The Company reports its investment securities available-for-sale at fair value. To determine fair value, the Company uses a dealer quote which typically will be the dealer who sold the Company the security. The Company has been advised that, in formulating their quotes, dealers may use recent trades in the particular security, if any, market activity in similar securities, if any, or internal valuation models. These quotes are non-binding. Based on how dealers develop their quotes, market liquidity and levels of trading, the Company categorizes these investments as either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the quotes it receives by applying its own valuation models. If there is a material difference between a quote the Company receives and the value indicated by its valuation models, the Company will evaluate the difference. As part of that evaluation, the Company will discuss the difference with the dealer, who may revise its quote based upon these discussions. Alternatively, the Company may revise its valuation models.

The Company reports its investment securities, trading at fair value, which is based on a dealer quotes or bids which are validated using an income approach utilizing appropriate prepayment, default and recovery rates. Any changes in fair value are recorded on the Company’s results of operations as net unrealized gain on investment securities, trading.

Derivatives (interest rate swaps and interest rate caps), both assets and liabilities, are reported at fair value, and are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach with models that use, as their primary inputs, readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company assesses the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and, if material, categorizes those derivatives within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value as follows (in thousands):

The Company had no impairment losses included in earnings due to other-than-temporary impairment charges on securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company had $4.6 million of losses included in earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to the other-than-temporary impairment charge of one asset during the three months ended September 30, 2011. This loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations as net impairment losses recognized in earnings.

Loans held for sale consist of bank loans and commercial real estate loans (“CRE loans”) identified for sale due to credit concerns. Interest on loans held for sale is recognized according to the contractual terms of the loan and included in interest income on loans. The fair value of bank loans held for sale and impaired bank loans is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for these loans. As such, the Company classifies these loans as recurring Level 2. For the Company’s CRE loans where there is no market, fair value is measured using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques and these loans are classified as nonrecurring Level 3. The amount of nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively, as compared to $442,000 and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of income as provision for loan losses.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is reported in Note 18.

Loans held-for-investment: The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 Loans held-for-investment was primarily measured using a third-party pricing service. The fair value of the Company’s Level 3 Loans held-for-investment was measured by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Loans receivable-related party are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

CDO notes are valued using the dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CDO in which the notes are held.

NOTE 18– INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

A significant 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 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.

The Company has made an accounting policy election to use the exception in ASC 820-10-35-18D (commonly referred to as the “portfolio exception”) with respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for derivative instruments, consistent with the guidance in ASC 820-10-35-18G. The basis for use of this exception in 820-10-35-18E is as follows:

•

The Company manages credit risk for its derivative positions on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis (that is, on the basis of its net portfolio exposure with each counterparty), consistent with its risk management strategy for such transactions. The Company manages credit risk by considering indicators of risk such as credit ratings, and by negotiating terms in its ISDA master netting arrangements (or similar agreements) and, if applicable, any associated Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) documentation, with each individual counterparty. Credit risk plays a central role in the decision of which counterparties to consider for such relationships and when deciding with whom it will enter into derivative transactions.

•

Since the effective date of ASC 820, management has monitored and measured credit risk and calculated credit valuation adjustments (“CVAs”) for its derivative transactions on the basis of its relationships at the counterparty portfolio/ISDA master netting arrangement level. Management receives reports from an independent third-party valuation specialist on a monthly basis providing the CVAs at the counterparty portfolio level for purposes of reviewing and managing its credit risk exposures. Since the portfolio exception applies only to the fair value measurement and not to financial statement presentation, the portfolio-level adjustments are then allocated in a reasonable and consistent manner each period to the individual assets or liabilities that make up the group, in accordance with other applicable accounting guidance and the Company’s accounting policy elections.


•	Derivative transactions are required under ASC 815 to be measured at fair value in the statement of financial position each reporting period.

Finally, the Company notes that key market participants take into account the existence of arrangements that mitigate credit risk exposure in the event of default (in the Company’s case, ISDA master netting arrangements with the counterparty).

At September 30, 2012, the Company had 16 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 4.84% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $139.0 million at September 30, 2012. The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts at such date were Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, with which the Company had master netting agreements.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had 18 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 4.87% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $167.9 million at December 31, 2011. The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts are Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, with which the Company has master netting agreements.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was $(16.2) million and $(13.2) million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $17.2 million and $14.3 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In connection with the August 2006 close of RREF CDO 2006-1, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $119,000, which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2006-1. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the June 2007 close of RREF CDO 2007-1, the Company realized a swap termination gain of $2.6 million, which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2007-1. The accretion is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the termination of a $53.6 million swap related to RREF CDO 2006-1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $4.2 million, which is being amortized over the term of a new $45.0 million swap. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the payoff of a fixed-rate commercial real estate loan during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company terminated a $12.7 million swap and realized a $574,000 swap termination loss, which is being amortized over the original term of the terminated swap. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information to assist you in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a discussion of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with those statements.

Overview

We are a specialty finance company that focuses primarily on commercial real estate and commercial finance. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or 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 have financed 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 have sought to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.

We are externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., or the Manager, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI), or Resource America, a specialized asset management company that uses industry-specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its commercial real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management operating segments. As of June 30, 2012, Resource America managed approximately $15.0 billion of assets in these sectors. To provide its services, the Manager draws upon Resource America, its management team and their collective investment experience.

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, from management of assets and from hedging interest rate risks. We generate revenues from the interest and fees we earn on our whole loans, A notes, B notes, mezzanine debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, bank loans, other asset-backed securities, or ABS, and structured note investments. We also generate revenues from the rental and other income from real properties we own, from management of externally originated bank loans and from our investment in an equipment leasing business. Historically, we have used a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns and we have financed each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage. The cost of borrowings to finance our investments is a significant part of our expenses. Our net income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue. In our bank loan, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS and asset-backed securities, or ABS portfolios, we historically have used warehouse facilities as a short-term financing source and collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources. In our commercial real estate loan portfolio, we historically have used repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source, and CDOs and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources. Our other term financing has consisted of long-term match-funded financing provided through long-term bank financing and asset-backed financing programs, depending upon market conditions and credit availability.

Although economic conditions in the United States have had some modest improvements, ongoing conditions in real estate and credit markets continue to impact both us and a number of our commercial real estate borrowers. We have entered into loan modifications with 27 of our commercial real estate loans. During the past three years, we have increased our provision for loan losses to reflect the effect of these conditions on our borrowers and have recorded both temporary and other than temporary impairments in the market valuation of the commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, and asset-backed securities, or ABS, in our investment portfolio. While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at September 30, 2012, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions.

Prior to mid-2010, events occurring in the credit markets impacted our financing and investing strategies and, as a result, our ability to originate new investments and to grow. The market for securities issued by new securitizations collateralized by assets similar to those in our investment portfolio as well as other forms of lending with respect to such assets largely disappeared until mid-2010. During 2011, we began to see a loosening of the credit markets and were able to take advantage of the situation by establishing several new financing arrangements continuing into early 2012. We continue to engage in discussions with potential financing sources about providing commercial real estate term financing to augment and cautiously grow our loan portfolio. We caution investors that even as credit through these markets becomes more available, we may not be able to obtain economically favorable terms.

(Back to Index)

In light of previous economic conditions and credit availability, our principal strategies have been to manage our liquidity and originate new assets primarily through capital recycling as loan payoffs and paydowns occurred and through existing capacities within our completed securitizations. We have exhausted our investment capacity in two of our bank loan collaterized loan obligation issuers, or CLOs, and two real estate CDOs with reinvestment periods ending in July 2011 through June 2012. We continue to have reinvestment capacity in two bank loan CLOs (Apidos Cinco and Apidos CLO VIII) where the reinvestment periods continue to May 2014 and October 2014, respectively. We intend to use the existing capacity in our CMBS and commercial real estate, or CRE, credit facilities with Wells Fargo of $42.0 million and $121.1 million, respectively, as of October 31, 2012 to help finance new investments.

In an effort to augment our credit facilities' capacity and our liquidity, we have also sold $50.4 million of common stock through our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan and obtained $55.6 million additional capital through a follow-on offering of common stock in September 2012. In addition, we supplemented our common equity capital raises with issuances of preferred stock in 2012. First, in June 2012 we sold $6.0 million 8.5% Series A cumulative preferred shares, or Series A. We also entered into an at-the-market sales agreement and sold $9.8 million of Series A through September 30, 2012. In October 2012, we issued $24.2 million of 8.25% Series B preferred shares, or Series B. This brought our total equity raised through our capital market efforts to $145.4 million, after underwriting commissions and other expenses related to these efforts.

We have used recycled capital in our bank loan CLO structures to make new investments at discounts to par. We expect that the reinvested capital and related discounts will produce additional income as the discounts are accreted into interest income. In addition, the purchase of these investments at discounts allows us to build collateral in the CLO structures since we receive credit in these structures for these investments at par. From net discounts of approximately $17.8 million at September 30, 2012, we expect to recognize income of approximately $1.5 million in our bank loan CLO portfolio for the remaining three months of 2012 and approximately $7.3 million in calendar year 2013.

Beginning in October 2010 through September 30, 2012, we have underwritten 22 new CRE loans for a total of $268.3 million, most of which were financed by using capital recycled through our two real estate CDO securitizations. We also purchased 42 newly underwritten CMBS for $174.6 million beginning in February 2011 through September 30, 2012, most of which were financed with a Wells Fargo facility. Due to these recent investments, our increased ability to access credit markets, our recent capital markets efforts and our investment of a significant portion of our available unrestricted and restricted cash balances during 2012, we expect to continue to modestly increase our net interest income during the balance of 2012 and into 2013. However, because we believe that economic conditions in the United States are fragile, and could be significantly harmed by occurrences over which we have no control, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our expectations, or that we will not experience net interest income reductions.

As of September 30, 2012, we had invested 70% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 20% in commercial bank loans and 10% in other assets. As of December 31, 2011, we had invested 63% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 31% in commercial bank loans, 6% in other investments.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Our net income allocable to common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $18.2 million, or $0.20 per share (basic and diluted) and $49.1 million, or $0.58 per share-basic ($0.57 per share-diluted), respectively, as compared to net income of $14.9 million, or $0.20 per share (basic and diluted) and $37.3 million, or $0.55 per share-basic ($0.54 per share-diluted) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

(1)	Amount excludes $2.3 million and $6.6 million of interest income on bank loans on Apidos CLO VIII for three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. We own 43% of the outstanding subordinated debt. The remaining 57% of the subordinated debt is owned by an unrelated third party.

Aggregate interest income increased $4.0 million (15%) and $13.5 million (18%) to $30.1 million and $90.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $26.1 million and $76.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. We attribute these increases to the following:

Interest Income from Loans. Aggregate interest income from loans increased $5.3 million (28%) and $10.1 million (17%) to $24.1 million and $70.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $18.9 million and $60.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as a result of the following:

Interest income on bank loans increased $2.7 million (24%) and $4.7 million (12%) to $13.7 million and $43.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $11.0 million and $38.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. These increases resulted primarily from increases in the weighted average loan balances of $245.3 million and $284.6 million to $1.2 billion for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $907.3 million and $891.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively principally as a result of our new CLO, Apidos CLO VIII, which we began acquiring assets for in July 2011. This increase in weighted average balance was partially offset by a decrease in the loan balance at Apidos I and III as they have each reached the end of their reinvestment period and are now required to use principal proceeds from bank loan payoffs and paydowns to repay outstanding debt.

(Back to Index)

The increase in the weighted average bank loan balance was also partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield to 4.80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 5.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of the decrease in accretion income caused by the timing of paydowns and payoffs, which sped up the recognition of the discount accretion during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Apidos I, Apidos III and Apidos Cinco had paydowns of $236.4 million as compared to $312.5 million in paydowns during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This decline in paydowns of $76.1 million and resulting decline in discount accretion income recognition was partially offset by increased accretion income generated by our new CLO during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest income on CRE loans increased $2.6 million (33%) and $5.3 million (24%) to $10.5 million and $27.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $7.9 million and $22.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These increases are a result of the following:

•

An increase of $70.0 million and $55.3 million in the weighted average loan balance to $714.8 million and $692.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $644.8 million and $637.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as we began to reinvest proceeds from payoffs and paydowns, classified as restricted CDO cash on our balance sheet, during the fourth quarter of 2011, with the majority of these proceeds being reinvested during the second and third quarters of 2012. In addition, we have begun to originate new loans financed by our Wells Fargo CRE credit facility coupled with new equity raised in 2012.

•

An increase in the weighted average yield to 5.74% and 5.22% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from 4.83% and 4.56% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as a result of newer real estate loans with higher stated interest rates than our legacy portfolio and as a result of an acceleration of fees on one loan that paid off in August 2012.

Interest Income from Securities. Aggregate interest income from securities increased $374,000 (11%) and $2.0 million (22%) to $3.8 million and $11.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $3.4 million and $9.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The increases in interest income from securities resulted principally from the following:

Interest income on CMBS-private placement increased $726,000 (31%) and $2.1 million (29%) to $3.1 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $2.4 million and $6.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. These increases resulted from increases in the weighted average balance of assets of $70.1 million and $66.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, primarily as a result of the purchase of assets on our Wells Fargo CMBS facility beginning in February 2011. The increases in interest income on CMBS-private placement as a result of the increase in the weighted average balance were partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield of assets to 5.20% and 5.19% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from 5.72% and 5.62% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, primarily as a result of the decrease in accretion income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the different mix of assets purchased in 2012 at a net premium as opposed to the net discount the securities were typically purchased at in prior years.

Interest Income - Other. Aggregate interest income-other decreased $1.7 million (44%) and increased $1.4 million (22%) to $2.2 million and $8.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $3.9 million and $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and is primarily related to our trading securities investment program with Resource Capital Markets, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America that invests up to $13.0 million of our funds under an investment management agreement. The payments vary from period to period and are based on cash flows from the underlying securities rather than on a contractual interest rate. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was related to the sale of 12 securities in September 2012, which meant preference share payments related to those securities ceased as of the disposition. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was related to an additional $8.0 million invested by us during the first six months of 2011. Most of these securities were held into 2012. This was partially offset by the sale of 12 securities in September 2012.

(1)	Amount excludes $1.2 million of interest expense and $81,000 of amortization expense, and $3.8 million of interest expense and $249,000 of amortization expense on bank loan on Apidos CLO VIII for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. We own 43% of the outstanding subordinated debt. The remaining 57% of the subordinated debt is owned by an unrelated third party.

Aggregate interest expense increased $1.1 million (15%) and $4.4 million (21%) to $8.3 million and $25.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $7.2 million and $21.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. We attribute these increases to the following:

Interest expense related to our bank loans was $3.6 million and $11.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $2.3 million and $6.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, increases of $1.3 million (54%) and $4.3 million (62%), respectively. These increases resulted primarily from the following:

•

An increase in the weighted average balance of the related financings of $204.3 million and $256.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, due to the closing of our new CLO, Apidos CLO VIII, which occurred in October 2011. The increase in weighted average balance of financings from our new CLO was partially offset by the debt amortization of Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III as they reached the end of their reinvestment period in 2011 and 2012, respectively. During the period July, 31, 2011 through September 30, 2012, Apidos CDO I paid down $87.8 million in principal amount of its CDO notes. During the period from July 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012, Apidos CDO III paid down $17.6 million in principal amount of its CDO notes

•

An increase in the weighted average yield to 1.31% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from 0.99% and 1.00% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, primarily as a result of the increase in LIBOR, a reference index for the rates payable on most of these financings, and of the closing of our new CLO which had a higher comparable weighted average rate on its financings of 2.28% and 2.34% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Interest expense on commercial real estate loans was $1.8 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.6 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, increases of $226,000 (14%) and $830,000 (18%), respectively. These increases resulted primarily from the acceleration of deferred debt issuance costs on Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, or RREF CDO 2007, a qualified REIT subsidiary established to complete a CDO issuance secured by CRE loans, CMBS and property available-for-sale as a result of note repurchases during the three months ended June 30, 2012 as well as deferred debt issuance costs on our new credit facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, both of which increased the weighted average cost of these borrowings.

Interest expense on CMBS-private placement was $331,000 and $957,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $175,000 and $385,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, increases of $156,000 (89%) and $572,000 (149%), respectively. The increases are entirely due to our increased use of our master repurchase agreement facility with Wells Fargo that we entered into in February 2011 to finance our acquisition of highly-rated CMBS.

The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on hedging instruments of $301,000 (15%) and $775,000 (12%) to $1.7 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $2.0 million and $6.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease in the hedging expense was primarily due to the maturities of $37.9 million notional amount of hedges beginning in July 2011.

The increase in interest expense was also partially offset by a decrease in general interest expense of $248,000 (24%) and $404,000 (14%), to $783,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $1.0 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease is the result of the expiration of a two-year amendment on our trust preferred securities, or trust preferred securities, or TRUPs, on September 30, 2011 which reduced the contractual interest rate on our TRUPs by 2%.

Other Revenue

Total other revenue	$	4,658	$	4,478	$	12,802	$	10,084

The increase in rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 is related to increased investments in real estate which we acquired beginning in June 2011.

We received dividend income of $926,000 and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. On November 16, 2011, we entered into an agreement whereby we exchanged our old preferred interest in LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc., or LCC, an equipment leasing company, for a new preferred interest in LCC as part of a recapitalization of the equipment leasing company. We have accounted for our resulting interest under the equity method subsequent to November 16, 2011 and, therefore, we no longer record dividend income from this investment. As of November 16, 2011, we record our equity interest in other income (expense). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a loss of $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, on this investment.

Total operating expenses	$	16,023	$	9,720	$	39,383	$	24,773

Management fees – related party increased by $2.4 million (76%) and $4.9 million (57%) to $5.5 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $3.1 million and $8.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. These amounts represent compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement as well as fees to the manager of our investment securities, trading portfolio. The changes are described below:

•

Incentive management fees to our Manager, which are based upon the excess of adjusted operating earnings, as defined in the management agreement, over a variable base rate, were $906,000 and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, a decrease of $9,000 (1%) and and increase of $1.6 million (95%) from $915,000 and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in these fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily the result of gains on the extinguishment of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The incentive fee is calculated for each quarter and the calculation in any quarter is not affected by the results of any other quarter.

•

Base management fees increased by $312,000 (17%) and $751,000 (15%) to $2.1 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.8 million and $5.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. These increases were due to increased stockholders’ equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, primarily as a result of the receipt of $134.0 million of proceeds from the sales of common stock through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan or DRIP, from January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012 as well as the receipt of $46.6 million and $55.6 million from the proceeds of our March 2011 and September 2012 secondary common stock offerings and $5.8million from the proceeds of our June 2012 preferred stock offering.

•

Incentive management fees related to our structured finance manager increased by $2.1 million (498%) and $2.5 million (144%) to $2.5 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $418,000 and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in fees is primarily related to the improved economic performance of this portfolio at September 30, 2012.

Equity compensation – related party increased $1.1 million (344%) and $2.0 million (144%) to $1.4 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $316,000 and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. This expense is related to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and discretionary grants of restricted stock to employees of Resource America who provide investment management services to us through our Manager. The increase in expense was primarily the result of the issuance of new grants in 2011 and 2012 as well as the increase in our stock price and its impact on our quarterly remeasurement of the value of unvested stock.

Rental operating expense increased $762,000 (72%) and $3.1 million (219%) to $1.8 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and is related to an increase in our investments in real estate through several acquisitions beginning in June 2011.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $607,000 (33%) and increased $1.1 million (39%) to $1.2 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.9 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2012 is due to certain assets being fully depreciated in June 2012. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is related to our acquisition of real estate in the second and third quarters of 2011 and our acquisition of Resource Capital Asset Management, or RCAM in February 2011.

Income tax expense increased $2.7 million (209%) and $2.7 million (63%) to $4.0 million and $7.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily due to realized gains in our investment securities, trading portfolio held by a taxable REIT subsidiary.

Net impairment losses recognized in earnings were $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and were the result of impairment we recognized on two investment securities available-for-sale due to their losses being recognized as other than temporary due to credit deterioration.

Net realized gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans decreased $245,000 (41%) and $2.3 million (52%) to $346,000 and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $591,000 and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily the result of a gain of $3.5 million related to the sale of three CMBS positions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to two CMBS positions sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 for a gain of $912,000.

(Back to Index)

Net realized and unrealized gain on investment securities-trading increased $11.6 million (626%) and $11.9 million (841%) primarily as a result of a rally in this portfolio in September 2012. We were able to take advantage of this rally and recognized realized net gains of $6.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Our provision for loan losses increased by $172,000 (14%) and decreased by $116,000 (1%) to $1.4 million and $7.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The following table summarizes information relating to our provision for loan losses for the periods presented (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
CRE loan portfolio	$	1,004	$	410	$	4,841	$	5,623
Bank loan portfolio	366		788		2,960		2,294
	$	1,370	$	1,198	$	7,801	$	7,917

CRE Loan Portfolio

The principal reason for the increase during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was the provisions taken on two loans where we made protective advances on the debt service for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to a protective advance on one loan for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The principal reason for the decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were improved credit conditions for the borrowers in our CRE portfolio with the exception of two loans written down in the three months ended June 30, 2012 that are classified as loans held for sale. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had three positions for which we took provisions. The positions had a total par value of $36.2 million and were written down to $31.1 million for a weighted average write down percentage of 14.1% of par.

Bank Loan Portfolio

The bank loan provision decreased by $422,000 and increased $667,000 to $366,000 and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively from $788,000 and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2012 is the result of generally improved credit quality. The principal reason for the increase in bank loan provision for the nine months ended was due to the recognition of impairment on three non-performing loans in our in our bank loan portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of new defaults this year.

Gain on the extinguishment of debt was $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and is due to the buyback of a portion of the debt issued by Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 006-1, or RREF CDO 2006-1, a qualified REIT subsidiary established to complete a CDO issuance secured by CRE loans and CMBS, RREF CDO 2007-1 and Apidos CDO I during the period. The notes, issued at par, were bought back as an investment by us at a weighted average price of 88.7%. Gain on the extinguishment of debt was $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively and is due to the buyback of a portion of the debt issued by RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 during the period. The notes, issued at par, were bought back as an investment by us at a weighted average price of 62.3%.

Other expenses increased $570,000 (298%) and $774,000 (121%) to $761,000 and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from $191,000 and $642,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. These increases are primarily the result of losses on our equity investment in LCC of $1.0 million and $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as that start-up investment continues to originate new leases and build its lease inventory and revenue volume. This loss was partially offset for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 by a gain of $1.0 million recognized on the sale of a property in our real estate joint venture.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement. In the aggregate, we purchased our CMBS-private placement portfolio at a net discount. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $12.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively. The weighted average remaining life on these securities is 2.68 years. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.

There was no other-than temporary impairment on our CMBS–private placement portfolio recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $4.6 million of other-than-temporary impairment on one CMBS position bringing the fair value to $48,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Securities classified as available-for-sale have increased in fair value on a net basis as of September 30, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011 primarily due to improving dealer marks on the existing portfolio and new purchases in 2012. We perform an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to our income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal.

(1)	Whole loans had $10.1 million and $5.2 million in unfunded loan commitments as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These commitments are funded as the borrowers require additional funding and have satisfied the requirements to obtain this additional funding.


(2)	The total does not include an allowance for loan loss of $7.7 million and $24.2 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.


(3)	Maturity dates do not include possible extension options that may be available to the borrowers.

(4)	Floating rate whole loans include a $2.0 million portion of a whole loan that has a fixed rate of 15.0% as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.


(5)	Floating rate whole loans include $800,000 and $302,000 of a preferred equity tranche of a whole loan that has a fixed rate of 10.0% as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.


(6)	Amount includes $34.0 million for two whole loans that are classified as loans held for sale at September 30, 2012.


(7)	Fixed rate mezzanine loans include a mezzanine loan that was modified into two tranches which both currently pay interest at 0.50%. In addition, the subordinate tranche accrues interest at LIBOR plus 18.50% which is deferred until maturity.

Bank Loans. At September 30, 2012, our consolidated securitizations, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO and Apidos CLO VIII, held a total of $1.1 billion of bank loans at fair value. The bank loans held by these entities secure the CDO notes they issued and are not available to our creditors. The aggregate fair value of bank loans held decreased by $21,000 over their holdings at December 31, 2011. This decrease was principally due to paydowns and sales of bank loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 which was almost completely offset by the improved market price.

We have determined that Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO and Apidos CLO VIII are variable interest entities, or VIEs, and that we are the primary beneficiary of Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO. As of September 30, 2012, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO and Apidos CLO VIII were consolidated. We own 100% of the equity of Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos CDO Cinco. We own approximately 43% of the equity of Apidos CLO VIII.

Asset-backed securities. In November 2011, the investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio was reclassified to investment securities available-for-sale since management no longer intended to hold all of these positions until maturity. These investments are now held at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss reported in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheet. At September 30, 2012, we held a total of $27.4 million of ABS at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, and Apidos CLO VIII all of which secure the debt issued by these entities. At December 31, 2011, we held a total of $25.2 million of ABS at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, all of which secure the debt issued by these entities. The increase in total ABS was principally due to improved market prices.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. On November 16, 2011, we, together with LEAF Financial and LCC, entered into a stock purchase agreement with Eos Partners, L.P., or Eos, a private investment firm, and its affiliates. In exchange for our prior interest in LCC, we received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 4,872 shares of newly issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, or the Series B Preferred Stock, and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock, or the Series D Preferred Stock, collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis, a 26.7% interest in LCC. Our investment in LEAF was valued at $36.3 million based on a third-party valuation. Several approaches, including discounted expected cash flows, market approach and comparable sales transactions were used to estimate the fair value of our investment in LEAF as a result of the transaction. These approaches required assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which were based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions. Accordingly, we recorded a loss of $2.2 million in conjunction with the transaction. Our resulting interest is accounted for under the equity method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a loss on this investment of $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in other expense on the consolidated statement of income. Our investment in LCC was valued at $34.0 million as of September 30, 2012.

In accordance with the agreement, we and Resource America have undertaken a contingent obligation with respect to the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LEAF Receivables Funding 3, or LRF 3, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCC which owns equipment, equipment leases and notes. To the extent that the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LRF 3 is less than approximately $18.7 million (the value of the equity of LRF 3 on the date it was contributed to LCC by us), as of the final testing date within 90 days of December 31, 2013, we and Resource America have agreed to be jointly and severally obligated to contribute cash to LCC to make up the deficit. We do not believe it is probable that we will be required to fund LCC for such an obligation in accordance with our agreement.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

We use a risk grading matrix to assign grades to bank loans. Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-5 with 1 representing our highest rating and 5 representing our lowest rating. We consider such things as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies, and industry dynamics.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

We use a risk grading matrix to assign grades to commercial real estate loans. Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-4 with 1 representing our highest rating and 4 representing our lowest rating. In addition to the underlying performance of the loan collateral, we consider such things as the strength of underlying sponsorship, payment history, collectability of interest, structural credit enhancements, market trends and loan terms.

Acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we foreclosed on one self-originated loan and converted it to an investment in real estate. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we converted two self-originated loans to investments in real estate and acquired one real estate asset, summarized as follows

(Back to Index)


•	On September 6, 2012, we foreclosed on a self-originated loan and converted the loan to equity with a fair value of $25.5 million at acquisition. The loan was collateralized by a 179 unit hotel property in Coconut Grove, Florida. The property was 75% occupied at acquisition.


•	On June 14, 2011, we converted a self-originated loan to equity with a fair value of $22.4 million at acquisition. The loan was collateralized by a 400 unit multi-family property in Memphis, Tennessee. The property was 93.8% occupied at acquisition.


•	On June 24, 2011, we converted a self-originated loan to equity with a fair value of $10.7 million at acquisition. The loan was collateralized by an office building in Pacific Palisades, California. The property was 60% occupied at acquisition.


•	On August 1, 2011, we, through our subsidiary RCC Real Estate, purchased Whispertree Apartments, a 504 multi-family property located in Houston, Texas, for $18.1 million, the fair value. The property was 95% occupied at acquisition. In conjunction with the purchase of this property, we entered into a mortgage in the amount of $13.6 million.

A summary of the aggregate estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired on the respective date of acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are presented below (in thousands):



	Estimated
Description	Fair Value
Assets acquired:
Investments in real estate	$	25,500
Cash and cash equivalents	—
Restricted cash	—
Intangible assets	—
Other assets	(89		)
Total assets acquired	25,411
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable and other liabilities	3,750
Total liabilities assumed	3,750
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired	$	21,661

We have not yet completed the process of estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the new investment in real estate during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Accordingly, our preliminary estimates and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as we complete the process. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, changes, if any, to the preliminary estimates and allocation will be reported in our financial statements retrospectively.

During the third quarter of 2011, we accounted for the acquisition of Whispertree Apartments as a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we obtained the final appraisal of the property. Based on the final appraisal, we adjusted the value of the land and the value of the building by $3.9 million, respectively, as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, these adjustments were recognized and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Restricted cash. At September 30, 2012, we had restricted cash of $56.7 million, which consisted of $54.8 million of restricted cash on our six CDOs, $500,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio and $1.4 million held in restricted accounts at our investment properties. At December 31, 2011, we had restricted cash of $142.8 million, which consisted of $138.1 million of restricted cash on our six CDOs, $1.5 million held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio and $3.2 million held in restricted accounts at our investment properties. The decrease of $86.1 million is primarily related to new loan settlements in our CDOs, which were a result of the use of restricted cash available for reinvestment prior to the expiration of the reinvestment period for three of our CDOs, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and RREF CDO 2006-1. Any subsequent loan paydown proceeds are now used to repay the notes outstanding as stipulated in the indenture.

(Back to Index)

Interest Receivable. At September 30, 2012, we had interest receivable of $7.2 million, which consisted of $7.2 million of interest on our securities and loans and $15,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. At December 31, 2011, we had interest receivable of $8.8 million, which consisted of $8.8 million of interest on our securities, loans and lease receivables and $15,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. The decrease in interest receivable is primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in interest receivable on structured notes due principally to the sale of 15 positions during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Prepaid Expenses. The following table summarizes our prepaid expenses as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):



	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Prepaid taxes	$	7,614	$	125
Prepaid insurance	616		276
Other prepaid expenses	277		247
Total	$	8,507	$	648

Prepaid expenses increased $7.9 million to $8.5 million as of September 30, 2012 from $648,000 as of December 31, 2011. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $7.5 million in prepaid taxes due to the timing of when taxes are paid and higher taxable income from our taxable REIT subsidiaries in 2012.

Other Assets. The following table summarizes our other assets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):



	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Management fees receivable	$	1,248	$	1,170
Other receivables	811		1,191
Fixed assets	2,814		979
Principal paydown	11		105
Total	$	4,884	$	3,445

Other assets increased $1.4 million to $4.9 million as of September 30, 2012 from $3.4 million as of December 31, 2011. This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $1.8 million of fixed assets due to costs incurred for capital expenditures at our properties. The increase in other assets was partially offset by a decrease of $379,000 in other receivables due primarily to the repayments of reserve fundings on the note cancellation in RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 as a result of our repurchases of those notes.

Hedging Instruments. Our hedges at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 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 intend to continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future. Our hedges at September 30, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

The investments held by Apidos CDO III collateralized $262.5 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. RCC Commercial purchased a $23.0 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At September 30, 2012, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.87%. The reinvestment period expired in June 2012 and the CDO has begun paying down the senior notes as principal is collected. Through September 30, 2012, $17.6 million of the Class A-1 senior notes had been paid down.

•

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. RCC Commercial originally purchased a $28.5 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares and during the three months ended June 30, 2012 sold 10% or $2.85 million to our subsidiary RSO Equity Co, LLC in connection with the sale of CVC Credit Partners, formerly Apidos Capital Management, by the Manager. Our subsidiary, RCC Commercial II, repurchased $2.0 million of the Class B notes in May 2012. At September 30, 2012, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 1.14%. The reinvestment period expired in July 2011 and the CDO has begun paying down the senior notes as principal is collected. Through September 30, 2012, $87.7 million of the Class A-1 senior notes had been paid down.

On June 21, 2011, we surrendered to the respective trustees, for cancellation without consideration, certain notes issued by RREF CDO 2007-1 and RREF CDO 2006-1. In RREF CDO 2007-1, we surrendered $7.5 million of the Class B notes, $6.5 million of the Class F notes, $6.25 million of the Class G notes and $10.625 million of the Class H notes. In RREF CDO 2006-1, we surrendered $6.9 million of the Class B notes, $7.7 million of the Class C notes, $5.52 million of the Class D notes, $7.0 million of the Class E notes and $5.25 million of the Class F notes. The surrendered notes were cancelled by the trustee under the applicable indentures, and the obligations due under those notes were deemed extinguished. The effect of these cancellations improves each CDO’s performance with respect to its over-collateralization and interest coverage tests, with which each CDO had complied before cancellation, and secures our long term interest in these structured vehicles.

Trust Preferred Securities

In May and September 2006, we formed Resource Capital Trust I, or RCT I and RCC Trust II, or RCT II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities. RCT I and RCT 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 trusts and record dividend income upon declaration by each trust.

In October 2009, we amended our unsecured junior subordinated debentures held by RCT I and RCT II with a total value outstanding of $51.5 million. The amendment provided for an interest rate increase of 2% (from LIBOR plus 3.95% to LIBOR plus 5.95%) on both issuances for a period of two years and a one-time restructuring fee of $250,000 in exchange for the waiver of financial covenants under our guarantee. The interest rate adjustment took effect as of October 1, 2009 and expired on September 30, 2011. The rates for RCT I and RCT II at September 30, 2012, were 4.41% and 4.40%, respectively and 4.32% and 4.38% at December 31, 2011, respectively. The covenant waiver expired on January 1, 2012. The junior subordinated debentures debt issuance costs are included in borrowings 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 operations. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at September 30, 2012 were $381,000 and $400,000, respectively. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at December 31, 2011 were $450,000 and $467,000, respectively.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2012 was $587.5 million and gave effect to $17.2 million of unrealized losses on our cash flow hedges and $15.7 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 was $429.7 million and gave effect to $14.3 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges and $32.0 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive. The increase in stockholder’s equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was principally due to the proceeds from sales of our common stock through our common stock offering and DRIP, the initial issuance of Series A 8.5% Preferred Stock in June 2012 and sales through our ATM Preferred Stock sales.

Funds from Operations

We evaluate our performance based on several performance measures, including funds from operations, or FFO, adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, in addition to net income. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated/ uncombined partnerships and joint ventures.

AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s cash flow generated by operations. We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO: non-cash impairment losses resulting from fair value adjustments on financial instruments, non-cash impacts of the following: provision for loan losses, gains on the extinguishment of debt, equity investment losses, straight-line rental effects, share based compensation, amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets, gains on sales of property through a joint venture and cash impact of capital expenditures that are related to our real estate owned.

Management believes that FFO and AFFO are appropriate measures of our operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs. Management uses FFO and AFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believe they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation, share-based compensation and various other items required by GAAP, and capital expenditures, that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods.

While the our calculations of AFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by other REITs and our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare its performance with some other REITs. Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

The following table reconciles GAAP net income to FFO and AFFO for the periods presented (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, our principal sources of current liquidity are proceeds from the sale of common stock through our September common stock offering and DRIP, proceeds from our offering of 8.5% Series A Preferred Stock and proceeds from our ATM preferred stock program as well as funds available in exiting CDO financings of $54.8 million and cash flow from operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we received $55.6 million from our September common stock offering and over-allotment exercise, $18.1 million of DRIP proceeds and $9.7 million of preferred stock sales proceeds, all of which are included in our $112.7 million of unrestricted cash at September 30, 2012. In addition, we have capital available through two CRE term facilities to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities and origination of commercial real estate loans of $39.2 million and $121.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, our principal sources of current liquidity were $46.6 million of net proceeds from our March 2011 offering, $83.6 million of proceeds from sales of common stock through our DRIP and funds available in existing CDO financings of $110.9 million and cash flow from operations.

Our on-going liquidity needs consist principally of funds to make investments, make debt repurchases, make distributions to our stockholders and pay our operating expenses, including our management fees. Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and, with respect to our investments, our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to above. Historically, we have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through CDOs that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments. We derive substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CDOs which, if the CDOs fail to meet certain tests, will cease. Through September 30, 2012, we have not experienced difficulty in maintaining our existing CDO financing and have passed all of the critical tests required by these financings. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet all such critical tests in the future. If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of existing 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.

The following table sets forth collateralized debt obligations – distributions and coverage test summary for the periods presented (in thousands):

At October 26, 2012, after paying the third quarter common stock dividend, our liquidity is provided by two primary sources:


•	unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $98.9 million, restricted cash of $500,000 in margin call accounts and $1.4 million in the form of real estate escrows, reserves and deposits; and


•	capital available for reinvestment in six CDO entities of $23.3 million, of which $775,000 is designated to finance future funding commitments on CRE loans, loan principal repayments that will pay down outstanding CLO notes of $41.2 million and $8.7 million in interest collections.

In addition, we have funds available through two CRE term facilities to finance the purchase of CMBS securities and origination of commercial real estate loans of $42.0 million and $121.1 million, respectively.

Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our leverage ratio was 2.9 times and 4.2 times, respectively. The decrease in leverage ratio was primarily due to the repayment of our CDO notes and equity offering proceeds received through our common stock offering, DRIP and preferred stock issuances which were partially offset by borrowings under our Wells Fargo CMBS and Wells Fargo CRE repurchase facilities.

Distributions

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid corporate-level income tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of our net taxable income to holders of our common stock. This requirement can impact our liquidity and capital resources. On September 17, 2012, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.20 per share of common stock, $19.9 million in the aggregate, which was paid on October 26, 2012 to stockholders of record as of September 28, 2012.

Contractual commitments do not include $5.8 million, $8.2 million, $6.3 million, $9.9 million, $15.9 million and $44.5 million of interest expense payable through the non-call dates of July 2010, May 2011, June 2011, August 2011 and June 2012, respectively, on Apidos CDO I, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO III, RREF 2006-1, RREF 2007-1 and Apidos CLO VIII. The non-call date represents the earliest period under which the CDO assets can be sold, resulting in repayment of the CDO notes.


(2)	Contractual commitments include $89,000 of interest expense payable through the maturity date of October 18, 2012 on our repurchase agreements.


(3)	Contractual commitments do not include $47.0 million and $47.7 million of interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036, respectively, on our trust preferred securities.


(4)	Calculated only for the next 12 months based on our current equity, as defined in our management agreement. Our management agreement also provides for an incentive fee arrangement that is based on operating performance. Because the incentive fee is not a fixed and determinable amount, it is not included in this table.

At September 30, 2012, we had 16 interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $139.0 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 September 30, 2012, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 4.84% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 0.22%.

(Back to Index)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2012, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, special purpose or variable interest entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, as of December 31, 2011, we had not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

We have certain unfunded commitments related to our commercial real estate loan portfolio that we may be required to fund in the future. Our unfunded commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional loan interest income on the advanced amount. As of September 30, 2012, we had eight loans with unfunded commitments totaling $10.1 million, of which $775,000 will be funded by restricted cash in RREF CDO 2007-1, with the balance funded by unrestricted cash.

On November 16, 2011, as described in “Financial Condition”, we, together with LEAF Financial and LCC, entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, we and Resource America have undertaken a contingent obligation with respect to the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LRF 3, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCC which owns equipment, equipment leases and notes. See "Financial Condition - Investment portfolio: Investment in Unconsolidated Entities."

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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.

Effect on Fair Value

A component of interest rate risk is the effect changes in interest rates will have on the market value of our assets. We face the risk that the market value of our assets will increase or decrease at different rates than that of our liabilities, including our hedging instruments.

We primarily assess our interest rate risk by estimating the duration of our assets and the duration of our liabilities. Duration essentially measures the market price volatility of financial instruments as interest rates change. We generally calculate duration using various financial models and empirical data. Different models and methodologies can produce different duration numbers for the same securities.

The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 thousands):



	September 30, 2012
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement ⁽¹⁾:
Fair value	$	162,412		$	159,304		$	156,317
Change in fair value	$	3,108					$	(2,987	)
Change as a percent of fair value	1.95		%				1.88		%

Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(18,570	)	$	(16,195	)	$	(11,216	)
Change in fair value	$	(2,375	)				$	4,979
Change as a percent of fair value	14.67		%				30.74		%

(Back to Index)



	December 31, 2011
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement ⁽¹⁾:
Fair value	$	121,534		$	119,274		$	117,101
Change in fair value	$	2,260					$	(2,173	)
Change as a percent of fair value	1.89		%				1.82		%

Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(18,851	)	$	(13,210	)	$	(6,782	)
Change in fair value	$	(5,641	)				$	6,428
Change as a percent of fair value	42.70		%				48.66		%


(1)	Includes the fair value of available-for-sale investments that are sensitive to interest rate change.

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.

Risk Management

To the extent consistent with maintaining our status as a REIT, we seek to manage our interest rate risk exposure to protect our portfolio of fixed-rate commercial real estate mortgages and CMBS and related debt against the effects of major interest rate changes. We generally seek to manage our interest rate risk by:


•	monitoring and adjusting, if necessary, the reset index and interest rate related to our mortgage-backed securities and our borrowings;


•	attempting to structure our borrowing agreements for our CMBS to have a range of different maturities, terms, amortizations and interest rate adjustment periods; and


•	using derivatives, financial futures, swaps, options, caps, floors and forward sales, to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of our fixed-rate commercial real estate mortgages and CMBS and our borrowing which we discuss in “Financial Condition-Hedging Instruments.”

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports 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.

(Back to Index)

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.

Changes in Internal Control of Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
