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 19). To determine fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes or bids which are validated using a third-party valuation firm 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 on investment securities, trading.

The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value (see Note 19). 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 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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:

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.

There were no impairment charges recorded on the Company’s investment in real estate or intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2013 the FASB issued guidance which amends required information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company provided the enhanced footnote disclosure as required by this amendment in its consolidated financial statements (see Note 16).

In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the scope of accounting for certain derivatives including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The amendments in this guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and will applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company provided the enhanced footnote disclosure as required by this amendment in its consolidated financial statements (see Note 21).

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 consolidated 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 were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and were applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occurred on or after the effective date. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2012 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2013 presentation.

NOTE 3 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITITES

The Company has evaluated its securities, loans, investments in unconsolidated entities, liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing preferred securities (consisting of unsecured junior subordinated notes) and its CDOs in order to determine if they qualify as VIEs. The Company monitors these investments and, to the extent it has determined that it owns a material investment in the current controlling class of securities of a particular entity, analyzes the entity for potential consolidation. The Company will continually analyze investments and liabilities, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such investments or liabilities are VIEs and whether such VIE should be consolidated. This analysis require considerable judgment in determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE and could result in the consolidation of an entity that would otherwise not have been consolidated or the non-consolidation of an entity that would have otherwise been consolidated.

Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is the primary beneficiary of seven VIEs: Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1 and Whitney CLO I. In performing the primary beneficiary analysis for six of these VIEs (other than Whitney CLO I, which is discussed below), it was determined that the persons that have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to each of these VIEs and the Company who has the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to these VIEs, are a related party group. It was then determined that the Company was the party within that group that is more closely associated to each such VIE because of its preferred equity (and in some cases debt) interest in them.

These CDO and CLO entities were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities, CMBS, property available-for-sale, bank loans, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The manager manages these entities on behalf of the Company. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of CDO and CLO bonds, the Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted equity returns and to match the term of its assets and liabilities. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception.

Whitney CLO I, the seventh entity, is one in which the Company acquired the rights to manage the assets held by the entity as collateral for its CLOs in February 2011. For a discussion on the primary beneficiary analysis for Whitney CLO I, see “— Unconsolidated VIEs (the Company is not the primary beneficiary, but has a variable interest) – Resource Capital Asset Management,” below. For a discussion of the Company’s CDOs and CLOs, see Note 1 - “Organization and Basis of Presentation” and for a discussion of the debt issued through the CDOs and CLOs, see Note 12 - “Borrowings”.

For CLOs in which the Company does not own 100% of the subordinated notes, the Company imputes an interest rate using expected cash flows over the life of the CLO and records the third party's share of the cash flows as interest expense on the consolidated statement of income.

The Company has exposure to CDO and CLO losses to the extent of its subordinated debt and preferred equity interests in them. The Company is entitled to receive payments of principal and interest on the debt securities it holds and, to the extent revenues exceed debt service requirements and other expenses of the CDO or CLO, distributions with respect to its preferred equity interests. As a result of consolidation, debt and equity interests the Company holds in these CDOs and CLOs have been eliminated, and the Company’s consolidated balance sheet reflects both the assets held and debt issued by the CDOs and CLOs to third parties and any accrued expense to third parties. The Company's operating results and cash flows include the gross amounts related to CDO and CLO assets and liabilities as opposed to the Company's net economic interests in the CDO and CLO entities. Assets and liabilities related to the CDOs and CLOs are disclosed, in the aggregate, on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The creditors of the Company’s seven consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. However, in its capacity as manager, the Company has voluntarily supported two credits in one of its commercial real estate CDOs as the credits went through a restructuring in order to maximize their future cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has provided financial support of $0 and $156,000, respectively. The Company has provided no other financial support to any other of its VIEs nor does it have any requirement to do so, although it may choose to do so in the future to maximize future cash flows on such investments by the Company. There are no explicit arrangements or implicit variable interests that obligate the Company to provide financial support to any of its consolidated VIEs, although the Company may choose to do so in the future.

Unconsolidated VIEs (the Company is not the primary beneficiary, but has a variable interest)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs discussed below since it does not have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the following VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2013. The Company’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the “Maximum Risk Exposure” column in the table below.

LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.

On November 16, 2011, the Company together with LEAF Financial, a subsidiary of Resource America, and Leaf Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LCC”), subsidiaries 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 interests in its lease related investments, the Company received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “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. 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. On January 18, 2013, the Company entered into another stock purchase agreement with LCC to purchase 3,682 shares of newly issued Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the "Series A-1 Preferred Stock") for $3.7 million, increasing the Company's fully-diluted basis assuming conversion to 27.5%. The Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $36.4 million and $33.1 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of LCC because it does not participate in any management or portfolio decisions, holds only two of six board positions, and only controls 27.5% of the voting rights in the entity. Furthermore, a third-party investor holds consent rights with respect to significant LCC actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, consummation of a sale of the entity, liquidation or initiating a public offering.

In connection with this transaction, the Company 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, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCC which owns equipment, equipment leases and notes. LEAF Receivables Funding 3 was included in the assets contributed to LCC by the Company. As part of the SPA, the Company and Resource America agreed that, to the extent the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LEAF Receivables Funding 3 is less than approximately $18.7 million (the value of the equity of LEAF Receivables Funding 3 on the date it was contributed to LCC by the Company), as of the final testing date, which must be within 90 days following December 31, 2013, they will be jointly and severally obligated to contribute cash to LCC to make up the deficit. The Company does not believe it is probable that it will be required to fund LCC in accordance with the SPA based on estimated operating results because LEAF Receivables Funding 3 is currently profitable and is expected to be profitable through the year ended December 31, 2013.

Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures

The Company has a 100% interest in the common shares of Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“RCT II”), valued at $1.5 million in the aggregate (or 3% of each trust). RCT I and RCT II were formed for the purposes of providing debt financing to the Company, as described below. The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts and determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of either trust because it does not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the trusts, which include the collection of principal and interest and protection of collateral through servicing rights. Accordingly, neither trust is consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and records dividend income when declared by RCT I and RCT II. The trusts each hold subordinated debentures for which the Company is the obligor in the amount of $25.8 million for RCT I and $25.8 million for RCT II. The debentures were funded by the issuance of trust preferred securities of RCT I and RCT II. The Company will continuously reassess whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

Resource Capital Asset Management CLOs

In February 2011, the Company purchased a company that manages $1.9 billion of bank loan assets through five CLOs. As a result, the Company is entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from these CLOs. The purchase price of $22.5 million resulted in an intangible asset that was allocated to each of the five CLOs and is amortized over the expected life of each CLO. The unamortized balance of the intangible asset was $12.6 million and $13.1 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company recognized fee income of $1.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. With respect to four of these CLOs, the Company determined that it does not hold a controlling interest and, therefore, is not the primary beneficiary. With respect to the fifth CLO, Whitney CLO I, in October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of its preferred equity, which was determined to be a reconsideration event. Based upon that purchase, the Company determined that it does have an obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Whitney CLO I and that a related party has the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the VIE. As a result, together with the related party, the Company has both the power to direct and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses. It was then determined that, between the Company and the related party, the Company was the party within that group that is more closely associated with Whitney CLO I because of its preferred equity interest in Whitney CLO I. The Company, therefore, consolidated Whitney CLO I as discussed above in “– Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)”.

Real Estate Joint Ventures

On December 1, 2009, the Company purchased a membership interest in RRE VIP Borrower, LLC (a VIE that holds interests in a real estate joint venture) from Resource America. 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 joint venture agreement requires the Company to contribute 3% to 5% (depending on the terms of the agreement pursuant to which the particular asset is being acquired) of the total funding required for each asset acquisition as needed up to a specified amount. The Company provided funding of $102,000 and $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for these investments. 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. The Company’s investment in RRE VIP Borrower, LLC at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Using the equity method of accounting, the Company recognized losses of $113,000 and a gain of $1.1 million related to this investment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On June 19, 2012, the Company entered into a second 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. The Company may be subject to a capital call based on its pro rata share of equity interest in the venture up to the earlier of the end of the investment period, ending in May 2015, or the date the aggregate of all capital contributions exceeds $500.0 million. 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. The Company’s investment in Varde Investment Partners, LP at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $550,000 and $526,000, respectively. Using the equity method of accounting, the Company recognized equity in earnings related to this investment of $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. No such income was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company has determined that it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of each of these ventures, which include asset underwriting and acquisition, lease review and approval, and loan asset servicing, and, therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of either.

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

If the Company finances the purchase of securities with repurchase agreements with the same counterparty from whom the securities are purchased and both transactions are entered into contemporaneously or in contemplation of each other, the transactions are presumed not to meet sale accounting criteria and the Company will account for the purchase of such securities and the repurchase agreement on a net basis and record a forward purchase commitment to purchase securities (each, a “Linked Transaction”) at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheet in the line item Linked Transactions, at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities underlying the Linked Transactions and associated interest income and expense are reported as unrealized (loss) gain and net interest income on linked transactions, net on the Company's consolidated statement of income. The Company pledges a portion of its CMBS as collateral against its borrowings under repurchase agreements and derivatives. CMBS that are accounted for as components of Linked Transactions are not reflected in the tables set forth in this note, as they are accounted for as derivatives. (See Notes 2 and 20).

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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company held $181.5 million and $170.8 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $8.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively), of CMBS recorded at fair value. To determine fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes which are either provided by the Company's trade or financing counterparties (see Note 2).

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company held $24.8 million and $27.1 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized gains of $1.1 million and $574,000, of ABS recorded at fair value (see Note 2). To determine their fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company held $35.9 million and $33.7 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized gains of $206,000 and losses of $67,000, respectively), of corporate bonds recorded at fair value (see Note 2). To determine their fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes.

The Company’s securities classified as available-for-sale have increased in fair value on a net basis as of March 31, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012, primarily due to improving dealer marks and new purchases in 2013. 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-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 three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment on positions that supported the Company's CMBS investment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company sold two corporate bond positions with a total par value of $700,000, and recognized a gain of $18,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold three corporate bond positions with a total par value of $1.4 million, and recognized a gain of $27,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had one corporate bond position redeemed with a total par value of $182,000, and recognized a gain of $39,000. There were no such redemptions during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate discount due to interest rate changes exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s CMBS by approximately $7.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate discount on the Company’s ABS portfolio was $2.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively. There were no premiums on the Company’s ABS investment portfolio at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate premium on the Company’s corporate bond portfolio was $425,000 and $608,000, respectively.

NOTE 9 – INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

On November 16, 2011, the Company, together with LEAF Financial and LCC, entered into a SPA with Eos Partners, L.P. 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 and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable 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. On January 18, 2013, the Company entered into another stock purchase agreement with LCC to purchase 3,682 shares of newly issued Series A-1 Preferred Stock for $3.7 million, increasing the Company's fully-diluted basis assuming conversion to 27.5%. The Company’s interest in the investment is accounted for under the equity method. The Company recorded a loss of $336,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 which was recorded in equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries on the consolidated statement of income. The Company recorded no income or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $36.4 million and $33.1 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company has a 100% interest valued at $1.5 million in the common shares (3% of the total equity) in two trusts, RCT I and 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 months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $593,000 and $631,000, respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures it issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $47,000 and $45,000, 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 (see Note 3). 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. 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 months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company paid RREM management fees of $8,000 and $12,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded losses of $113,000 and a gain of $1.1 million, respectively, which was recorded in equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries on the consolidated statement of income. The investment balance of $1.7 million and $2.3 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, 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 (see Note 3). RREM is also responsible for engaging third parties to perform day-to-day property management, property leasing, rent collection, maintenance, and capital improvements.

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 metrics such 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.

Credit risk profiles of bank loans were as follows (in thousands):



	Rating 1		Rating 2		Rating 3		Rating 4		Rating 5		Held for Sale		Total
As of March 31, 2013
Bank loans	$	979,854	$	43,387	$	32,626	$	16,270	$	3,896	$	18,150	$	1,094,183

All of the Company’s bank loans are performing with the exception of four loans with an amortized cost of $3.9 million as of March 31, 2013. There were no additional defaults during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

The Company uses 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 the Company’s highest rating and 4 representing its lowest rating. The Company 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. In addition to the underlying performance of the loan collateral, the Company considers metrics such as the strength of underlying sponsorship, payment history, collectability of interest, structural credit enhancements, market trends and loan terms in grading its commercial real estate loans.

NOTE 11 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of the Company’s acquisition of RCAM in February 2011, its conversion of loans to investments in real estate in June 2011, and the acquisition of real estate in August 2011. The Company amortizes identified intangible assets to expense over their estimated lives or period of benefit using the straight-line method. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment as events and circumstances change. In October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of preferred equity of one of the RCAM CLOs. As a result of this transaction and consolidation of Whitney CLO I, the Company wrote-off the unamortized balance of $2.6 million, the intangible asset associated with this CLO, which was recorded in gain/(loss) on consolidation in the consolidated statement of income. Due to a 2013 event whereby a second CLO liquidated, the Company accelerated the amortization of the remaining balance of its intangible asset and recorded a $657,000 charge to depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statement of income. The Company expects to record amortization expense on intangible assets of approximately $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The weighted average amortization period was 8.5 years and 8.7 years at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively and the accumulated amortization was $11.0 million and $10.5 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1

In June 2007, the Company closed RREF CDO 2007-1, a $500.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The investments held by RREF CDO 2007-1 collateralize the debt it issued and, as a result, the investments are not available to the Company, its creditors or stockholders.

In February 2011, the registrant's wholly-owned subsidiaries, RCC Commercial Inc. and RCC Real Estate, Inc.(collectively, the "RCC Subsidiaries"), entered into a master repurchase and securities contract (the “Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). Under the Facility, from time to time, the parties may enter into transactions in which the RCC Subsidiaries and Wells Fargo agree to transfer from the RCC Subsidiaries to Wells Fargo all of their right, title and interest to certain commercial mortgage backed securities and other assets (the “Assets”) against the transfer of funds by Wells Fargo to the RCC Subsidiaries, with a simultaneous agreement by Wells Fargo to transfer back to the RCC Subsidiaries such Assets at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds from the RCC Subsidiaries to Wells Fargo. The maximum amount of the Facility is $100.0 million which has a two year term with a one year option to extend, and an interest rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 1.29% plus a .25% initial structuring fee and a .25% extension fee upon exercise. On February 1, 2013, the Companies exercised the option to extend the CMBS Term Repurchase Facility for a period of one year. The RCC Subsidiaries will enter into interest rate swaps and cap agreements to mitigate interest rate risk under the Facility.

The Facility contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, and the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings that remain unstayed. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of all obligations of the RCC Subsidiaries to repay the purchase price for purchased assets.

The Facility also contains margin call provisions relating to a decline in the market value of a security. Under these circumstances, Wells Fargo may require the RCC Subsidiaries to transfer cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

Under the terms of the Facility and pursuant to a guarantee agreement dated February 1, 2011 (the “ 2011 Guaranty”), the the Company agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Wells Fargo the prompt and complete payment and performance of (a) all payment obligations owing by the RCC Subsidiaries to Wells Fargo under or in connection with the Facility and any other governing agreements and any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (b) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, that are incurred by Wells Fargo in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of the registrant; and (c) any other obligations of the RCC Subsidiaries with respect to Wells Fargo under each of the governing documents. The 2011 Guaranty includes covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's leverage and debt service ratios and require maintenance of certain levels of cash and net worth. RCC Real Estate and RCC Commercial were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2013, RCC Real Estate and RCC Commercial had borrowed $44.1 million (net of $117,000 of deferred debt issuance costs), all of which the RCC Subsidiaries had guaranteed. At March 31, 2013, borrowings under the repurchase agreement were secured by highly-rated CMBS with an estimated fair value of $52.3 million and a weighted average interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.30%, or 1.48%. At December 31, 2012, RCC Real Estate had borrowed $42.5 million (net of $23,000 of deferred debt issuance costs), all of which the RCC Subsidiaries had guaranteed.

NOTE 18 – 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.

On March 15, 2013, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.20 per share of common stock or $21.6 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 26, 2013, to stockholders of record as of March 28, 2013.

On March 18, 2013, the Company declared distributions totaling $359,000 or $0.53 per share to its Series A Preferred share stockholders, declared on March 18, 2013 and paid on April 30, 2013 to its preferred share stockholders of record as of April 1, 2013.

On March 18, 2013, the Company declared distributions totaling $1.2 million or $0.51 per share to its Series B Preferred share stockholders, declared on March 18, 2013 and paid on April 30, 2013 to its preferred share stockholders of record as of April 1, 2013.

NOTE 19 – 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, based on a dealer quotes or bids. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the quotes it receives by using an independent third-party valuation. If there is a material difference between a quote the Company receives and the value indicated by the third party, the Company will evaluate the difference. Any changes in fair value are recorded on the Company’s results of operations as net unrealized gain on investment securities, trading.

The CMBS underlying the Company’s Linked Transactions are valued using the same techniques to those used for the Company’s other CMBS. The value of the underlying CMBS is then netted against the carrying amount (which approximates fair value) of the repurchase agreement borrowing at the valuation date. The fair value of Linked Transactions also includes accrued interest receivable on the CMBS and accrued interest payable on the underlying repurchase agreement borrowings. The Company’s Linked Transactions are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

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 $21,000 and $139,000 of losses included in earnings due to the other-than-temporary impairment charges of one asset during each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. These losses are included in the consolidated statements of income 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 nonrecurring Level 2. For the Company’s CRE loans where there is no primary 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 years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of income as provision for loan losses.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, principal paydown receivable, interest receivable, distribution payable and accrued interest expense approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the Company’s investment securities-trading is reported in Note 5. The fair value of the Company’s investment securities available-for-sale is reported in Note 6. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and linked transactions is reported in Note 20.

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.

Junior subordinated notes are estimated by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

NOTE 20 – 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 FASB 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 FASB ASC 820-10-35-18G. The basis for use of this exception, as provided in FASB ASC 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 FASB 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 FASB 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 March 31, 2013, the Company had 16 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 4.96% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $133.8 million at March 31, 2013. 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, 2012, the Company had 16 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 4.94% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $135.2 million at December 31, 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.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was $(14.0) million and $(14.7) million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $14.9 million and $15.6 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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, 2012 for a discussion of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with those statements.

Overview

We are a specialty finance company whose principal business activities are to originate, purchase and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate- related assets and commercial finance assets. 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 March 31, 2013, Resource America managed approximately $15.3 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, CMBS and 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 improved, previous conditions in real estate and credit markets continue to affect both us and a number of our commercial real estate borrowers. Over a period of several years, we have entered into loan modifications with respect to 19 of our outstanding commercial real estate loans. During the past three years, we have added to 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. However, during 2012 and into 2013, the improved economic conditions lead to a stabilization in the credit quality of our portfolio and, as a result, our provisions for loan losses and asset impairments ($1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012). We also saw a marked improvement in other comprehensive income with respect to our available for sale securities portfolio and interest rate derivatives (to a loss of $21.8 million at March 31, 2013 from a loss of $27.1 million at December 31, 2012). While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at March 31, 2013, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions.

Improved economic conditions have also resulted in several other positive operating developments for us. Our ability to access the credit and capital markets have become relatively easier. We have sourced several credit facilities during the period 2011 through 2013 and have used these debt facilities to finance the investment in $302.1 million of commercial real estate loans and $223.4 million of CMBS as of March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we accessed the equity capital

(Back to Index)

markets selling $18.0 million of common stock through our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan and following the end of the quarter selling 18,687,500 shares of common stock in an April 2013 underwritten public common stock follow-on offering, including 2,437,500 shares exercised through the underwriters' over-allotment option, at a price of $6.33 per share for net proceeds of approximately $114.7 million. In addition, we supplemented our common equity capital raises with issuances of preferred stock. During 2012, we entered into an at-the-market sales agreement through which we sold $27.3 million of 8.25% Series B preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Following the end of the quarter, we received $4.9 million in proceeds from the issuance of 200,889 shares of preferred stock through the at-the-market program.

We continue to engage in discussions with potential financing sources about providing commercial real estate term financing to augment and cautiously grow our loan and security portfolio. We expect to be able to grow our portfolio to a critical amount required to begin exploring long-term securitization opportunities during 2013. We caution investors that even as credit through these markets becomes more available, we may not be able to obtain economically favorable terms.

In terms of our investments and investment portfolio growth, we continued to see increased opportunities to deploy our capital. In the twelve months ended March 31, 2013, we have underwritten 15 new CRE loans for a total of $216.5 million, which were financed by a combination of capital recycled through a real estate CDO securitization and through our new credit facilities and new equity capital. We also purchased 23 newly-underwritten CMBS for $160.3 million during the same period, of which $38.1 million were financed through a Wells Fargo facility, $61.5 million was purchased with short term repurchase agreements, $5.0 million was purchased by one of our CDOs, and $55.7 million was purchased unlevered with available cash. We have also used recycled capital in two of our bank loan collateralized loan obligation, or CLO structures with remaining reinvestment periods, Apidos Cinco and Apidos CLO VIII, to make new investments at discounts to par. The reinvestment periods for Apidos Cinco and Apidos CLO VIII continue to May 2014 and October 2014, respectively. 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 at par. From net discounts of approximately $18.4 million at March 31, 2013, we recognized income of approximately $4.3 million in our bank loan CLO portfolio for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and expect to accrete approximately $4.8 million into income in the remainder of calendar year 2013. We have no further capacity in three of our bank loan CLOs, and our two real estate CDOs have ended their reinvestment periods. We intend to use the existing capacity in our CMBS and commercial real estate, or CRE, term credit facilities with Wells Fargo of $42.7 million and $185.6 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2013 to help finance new investments.

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 in the remainder of 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 March 31, 2013, we had invested 75% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 14% in commercial bank loans and 11% in other assets. As of December 31, 2012, we had invested 77% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 15% in commercial bank loans and 8% in other investments.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Aggregate interest income increased $3.5 million (11.6%) to $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $29.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest Income from Loans. Aggregate interest income from loans increased $4.2 million (17.8%) to $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Interest income on bank loans increased $2.6 million (17.0%) to $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the weighted average yield to 6.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 5.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily as a result of the increase in accretion income due to a change in accounting estimate from Apidos CLO VIII a consolidated variable interest entity, or VIE, for which we began acquiring assets in July 2011 and from Whitney CLO which we began consolidating in October 2012 when we acquired a controlling interest. The increase in accretion income from Apidos CDO VIII was partially offset by a decrease in accretion income from two of our legacy CLO structures (Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III), as consolidated VIEs those CLOs have decreasing asset and discount balances as both have reached the end of their reinvestment periods.

The increase in the weighted average yield was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average loan balance of $21.3 million to $1.18 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $1.20 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012, principally due to the fact that Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III have both reached the end of their reinvestment periods and are now required to use principal proceeds from bank loan payoffs and paydowns to repay outstanding debt. This decrease in the weighted average loan balance was partially offset by the consolidation of Whitney CLO I which we began consolidating in October 2012 when we acquired a controlling interest.

(Back to Index)

Interest income on commercial real estate, or CRE, loans increased $1.6 million 19.2% to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase is a result of the following combination of factors:


•	an increase in the weighted average yield to 5.68% during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from 4.82% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of newly originated real estate loans with higher stated interest rates than our legacy portfolio and as a result of exit fees from three loans that paid off during the three months ended March 31, 2013; and

•

an increase of $18.7 million in the weighted average loan balance to $703.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $685.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as we reinvested proceeds from payoffs and paydowns, classified as restricted CDO cash on our balance sheet, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, with the majority of these proceeds being reinvested during the second and third quarters of 2012. In addition, we began to originate new loans financed by our Wells Fargo CRE credit facility coupled with new equity raised in 2012 and 2013.

Interest Income from Securities. Aggregate interest income from securities increased $237,000 (7%) to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $3.4 million during three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase resulted principally from the following:

Interest income on CMBS-private placement increased $99,000 (4% ) to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase resulted from an increase in the weighted average balance of assets of $22.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $215.0 million from $192.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily as a result of the purchase of assets on our Wells Fargo CMBS facility beginning in February 2011 as well as purchases using proceeds from our stock offerings in 2012.

The increase in interest income on CMBS-private placement as a result of the increase in the weighted average balance was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield of assets to 5.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 5.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 . The decrease primarily resulted from the decrease in accretion income as a result of the purchase price at which we are purchasing assets. The new assets financed by our Wells facility typically purchased at a premium as compared to the discount our assets had been purchased on in the past.

Interest income from corporate bonds was $297,000 and was the result of our acquisition of the 66.6% of the equity in Whitney CLO I in October 2012 which resulted in us consolidating this entity.

Interest income on RMBS decreased $194,000 (69%) to $89,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $283,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 almost entirely as a result of the sale of four positions during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Interest Income - Other. Aggregate interest income-other decreased $963,000 (34.0)% to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and is primarily related to our trading securities investment program with Resource Capital Markets, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America that invested $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 was related to the a decrease in the weighted average balance to $41.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $58.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily as a result of the sale of 12 securities in September 2012.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Aggregate interest expense increased $2.8 million (33%) to $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest expense on bank loans was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $1.8 million (48%). This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the weighted average yield to 1.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 1.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase in expense related to Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO as a result of a change in accounting estimate. The increase in the yield is also the result of debt amortization as Apidos I and Apidos III reached the end of their reinvestment periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the CDOs paid down $18.5 million in principal amount of its CDO notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the CDOs paid down $56.8 million in principal amount of its CDO notes.

(Back to Index)

Interest expense on commercial real estate loans was $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $499,000 (32%). This increase 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, and deferred debt issuance costs on our new credit facility, which increased the weighted average cost of these borrowings.

The increase in interest expense on commercial real estate loans was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average balance of debt to $406.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $477.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily as a result of the debt amortization of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, or RREF CDO 2006, a qualified REIT subsidiary established to complete a CDO issuance secured by CRE loans and RREF 2007-1 as they reached the end of their reinvestment periods in 2011 and 2012, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the CDOs paid down $44,000 in principal amount of its CDO notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the CDOs paid down $72.7 million in principal amount of its CDO notes.

Securitized borrowings expense was $879,000. This interest expense is related to our subordinated investments in Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I. The interest expense is imputed by an estimated internal rate of return based on expected cash flows over the life of each CLO.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on hedging instruments of $343,000 (17)% to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in the hedging expense was primarily due to the maturities of $37.9 million notional amount of hedges beginning in July 2011 through August 2012.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Rental income was $6.2 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is related to our investments in real estate and to a lesser extent, our property available-for-sale during March 31, 2013 and 2012. The increase is primarily related to income generated by a hotel property we acquired by converting a loan to an equity position in September 2012.

Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased $1.5 million (140%) to a loss of $425,000 from income of $1.1 million. The decrease is primarily related to a gain of $1.0 million on the sale of a property from our real estate joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2012. In addition, we realized a loss on our investment in LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc., or LCC, an equipment leasing firm to which we had contributed our former equipment leasing assets, (see "Financial Condition - Investment in Unconsolidated Entities") of $336,000 during three months ended March 31, 2013.

We generated management fee income of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, which is related to our February 2011 acquisition of a company that manages bank loan assets and entitles us to collect senior, subordinated, and incentive fees related to five collateralized loan obligation issuers, or CLOs. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2013 is related to the consolidation of Whitney CLO I in October 2012 as a result of our acquisition of a controlling interest. The related fee income now eliminates in consolidation.

(Back to Index)

Net realized and unrealized gain on investment securities-trading decreased $1.0 million (48)% to $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily as a result of us previously converting unrealized gains to realized gains, most significantly in September 2012 when we sold 12 securities. The remaining portfolio has decreased substantially as there were 15 and 27 positions outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and as a result, there is less opportunity to realize gains.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Management fees - related party decreased $465,000 (14)% to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These expenses 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 structured note 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 $659,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. There was no fee during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as a result of the charge-off of assets in our CRE and Apidos portfolios. 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 $648,000 (35%) to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was 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 $91.1 million of proceeds from the sales of common stock through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan or DRIP, from January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013 as well as the receipt of $55.6 million from the proceeds of our September 2012 secondary common stock offerings. In addition, we had two issuances of preferred stock. 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 March 31, 2013. In October 2012, we issued $24.2 million of 8.25% Series B preferred shares, or Series B. We also entered into an at-the-market sales agreement and sold $30.4 million of Series B through March 31, 2013.


•	Incentive management fees related to our structured finance manager decreased by $605,000 (67%) to $301,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $906,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in fees is primarily related to the sale of 12 securities in September 2012, resulting in fewer assets earning payments.

Equity compensation - related party increased $2.7 million (314%) to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $868,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These expenses relate to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and annual 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 increase in our stock price and its impact on our quarterly remeasurement of the value of unvested stock as well as the issuance of new grants during 2013 and 2012.

(Back to Index)

Professional services increased $346,000 (31.5%) to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase is primarily the result of an increase of $245,000 related to collateral management fees related to Apidos VIII paid to a third party. We began consolidating Apidos VIII in October 2011.

Rental operating expense increased $2.6 million (198%) to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and is primarily related to the hotel property we acquired by conversion of a loan in September 2012.

General and administrative expense increased $810,000 (76%) to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase is primarily the result of the following combination of factors:


•	an increase of $466,000 in payroll expense related to additional accounting and administrative professionals.


•	an increase of $80,000 primarily related to the payment of fees to the investment committee of our board of directors for their services. We resumed paying these fees in April 2012.

Our provision for loan losses decreased $1.1 million (52.2)% to a provision of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to a provision of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

CRE loan portfolio	$	1,261		$	350
Bank loan portfolio	(219		)	1,828
	$	1,042		$	2,178

CRE Loan Portfolio

The principal reason for the increase during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 was additional provision for a previously impaired loan.

Bank Loan Portfolio

The bank loan provision decreased by $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to a benefit of $(219,000) as compared to provision of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The principal reason for the decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was due to improved credit conditions as well as the sale of three loans in the general reserve and one impaired loan that was restructured during the three months ended March 31, 2013. All four loans had been reserved in prior periods.

Income tax expense decreased $853,000 (33%) to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in income tax expense is attributable to less income at our TRSs during three months ended March 31, 2013.

Financial Condition

Summary.

Our total assets at March 31, 2013 were $2.4 billion as compared to $2.5 billion at December 31, 2012. The decrease in total assets was principally due to the expiration of the reinvestment period in three of our CDOs resulting in paydowns on the assets.

Investment Portfolio.

The table below summarizes the amortized cost and net carrying amount of our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, classified by interest rate type. The following table includes both (i) the amortized cost of our investment portfolio and the related dollar price, which is computed by dividing amortized cost by par amount, and (ii) the net carrying amount of our investment portfolio and the related dollar price, which is computed by dividing the net carrying amount by par amount (in thousands, except percentages):

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement. In the aggregate, we purchased our CMBS-private placement portfolio at a net discount. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $8.7 million and $9.3 million, respectively. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the remaining premium to be amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there was no other-than-temporary impairment on positions recognized that supported the CMBS-private placement portfolio. Our securities classified as available-for-sale have increased in fair value on a net basis as of March 31, 2013 as compared to March 31, 2012 primarily due to improving dealer pricing on the existing portfolio and new purchases in 2013. 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 $9.5 million and $8.9 million in unfunded loan commitments as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 losses of $9.2 million and $8.0 million recorded as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Bank Loans. At March 31, 2013, our consolidated securitizations, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO VIII and Whitney CLO I, 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 satisfy the claims of our creditors. The aggregate fair value of bank loans held decreased by $96.5 million over their holdings at December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to paydowns and sales of bank loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

We have determined that Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO VIII and Whitney CLO I are variable interest entities, or VIEs, and that we are the primary beneficiary of each. As of March 31, 2013, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I 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 and 66.6% of the equity of Whitney CLO I.

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 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 March 31, 2013, we held a total of $24.8 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, 2012, we held a total of $26.5 million fair value of ABS through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, all of which secure the debt issued by these entities. The decrease in total ABS was primarily due to paydowns during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Corporate bonds. At March 31, 2013, our consolidated securitizations, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO VIII and Whitney CLO I, held a total of $35.9 million of corporate bonds at fair value, which secure the debt issued by this entity. These investments are held at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss reported in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheet. The aggregate fair value of corporate bonds held increased by $1.6 million over their holdings at December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to purchases of corporate bonds during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. On November 16, 2011, together with LEAF Financial and LCC, we 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 LCC 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 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. Accordingly, we recorded a loss of $2.2 million in conjunction with the transaction. On January 18, 2013, we entered into another stock purchase agreement with LCC to purchase 3,682 shares of newly issued Series A-1 Preferred Stock for $3.7 million, increasing our fully-diluted basis assuming conversion to 27.5%. Our interest in the investment is accounted for under the equity method. We recorded a loss of $336,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 which was recorded in equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries on the consolidated statement of income. We recorded no income or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our investment in LCC was valued at $36.4 million and $33.1 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

In accordance with 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 LEAF Receivables Funding 3, or LRF 3, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCC which owns equipment, equipment leases and notes and which we contributed to LCC in connection with the above transaction. 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 or estimable that we will be required to fund LCC in accordance with the agreement.

We have a 100% interest valued at $1.5 million in the common shares (3% of the total equity) in two trusts, Resource Capital Trust I , or RCT I, and RCC Trust II, or RCT II. We completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts. We do not have the power to direct the activities of either trust, nor do we have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to these trusts. Therefore, we are

(Back to Index)

not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust and accordingly, they are not consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. We record our investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and record dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized $593,000, and $631,000, respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures we issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $47,000 and $45,000, respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. We will continuously reassess whether we should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

On December 1, 2009, we purchased a membership interest in RRE VIP Borrower, LLC (an unconsolidated VIE that holds our 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. We acquired the membership interests for $2.1 million. The agreement requires us 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, or 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 months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , we paid RREM management fees of $8,000 and $12,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded losses of $113,000 and a gain of $1.1 million, respectively, which was recorded in equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries on the consolidated statement of income. The investment balance of $1.7 million and $2.3 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, is recorded as an investment in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheet using the equity method.

On June 19, 2012, we entered into a joint venture with Värde Investment Partners, LP acting as lender, to purchase two condominium developments. We 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. We incurred fees payable to RREM of $16,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. There were no such fees for the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded earnings of $24,000, which were recorded in equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries on the consolidated statement of income. There was no such income for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The investment balance of $550,000 and $526,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, is recorded as an investment in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheet using the equity method. We will continuously reassess whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

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 in grading its bank loans.

Credit risk profiles of bank loans were as follows (in thousands):

There were no additional defaults during the three months ended March 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, all of our bank loans were performing with the exception of 5 loans with an amortized cost of $5.4 million, one of which defaulted as of December 31, 2012, three of which defaulted as of March 31, 2012, which includes a loan acquired with deteriorated credit quality as a result of the acquisition of Whitney CLO I, and one of which defaulted on December 31, 2011.

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. We designate loans that are sold after the period end at the lower of our fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales. 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 in grading our commercial real estate loans.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we made no acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we foreclosed on one 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.

(Back to Index)

The following table is a summary of the aggregate estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired on the respective date of acquisition (in thousands):



Description	December 31, 2012
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 acquired in September 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.

Restricted cash. At March 31, 2013, we had restricted cash of $112.1 million, which consisted of $107.6 million of restricted cash on our six CDOs, $500,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio and $4.0 million held in restricted accounts at our investment properties. At December 31, 2012, we had restricted cash of $94.1 million, which consisted of $90.0 million of restricted cash on our six CDOs, $500,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio and $3.6 million held in restricted accounts at our real estate assets. The increase of $18.0 million is primarily related to proceeds received from loan paydowns and sales in our CDOs. Any subsequent loan paydown proceeds in these CDOs are now used to repay the notes outstanding as stipulated in the indenture.

Interest Receivable. At March 31, 2013, we had interest receivable of $8.9 million, which consisted of $8.9 million million of interest on our securities and loans and $15,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. At December 31, 2012, we had interest receivable of $7.8 million, which consisted of $7.8 million of interest on our securities and loans and $6,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. The increase resulted from an increase of $470,000 in interest receivable on structured notes, an increase of $400,000 in interest receivable on bank loans and an increase in interest receivable on CRE loans of $400,000, all of which were due to the timing of when payments were due and received.

Prepaid Expenses. The following table summarizes our other assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):



	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Prepaid taxes	$	3,289	$	9,546
Prepaid insurance	73		425
Other prepaid expenses	477		425
Total	$	3,839	$	10,396

Prepaid expenses decreased $6.6 million to $3.8 million as of March 31, 2013 from $10.4 million as of December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of $6.3 million in prepaid taxes due to the timing of when taxes are paid.

Other Assets. The following table summarizes our other assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):



	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Management fees receivable	$	1,190	$	1,253
Other receivables	1,735		1,542
Preferred stock proceeds receivable	1,723		1,248
Fixed assets	64		66
Total	$	4,712	$	4,109

(Back to Index)

Other assets increased $603,000 to $4.7 million as of March 31, 2013 from $4.1 million as of December 31, 2012. This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $475,000 of Series B Preferred proceeds receivable from our at the market program due to the timing of when these proceeds were received by us.

Hedging Instruments. Our hedges at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 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. With interest rates at historically low levels and the forward curve projecting steadily increasing rates as well as the scheduled maturity of two hedges during 2012, we expect that the fair value of our hedges will modestly improve in 2013. We intend to continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future. Our hedges at March 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

At March 31, 2013, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.80%. The reinvestment period expired in June 2012 and the CDO has begun paying down the senior notes as principal is collected. Through March 31, 2013, $68.8 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 Apidos Capital Management by the Manager. Our subsidiary, RCC Commercial II, repurchased $2.0 million of the Class B notes in May 2012. At March 31, 2013, 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 March 31, 2013, $144.9 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 $10.6 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 canceled 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.

The rates for RCT I and RCT II, at March 31, 2013, were 4.23% and 4.25%, respectively. The rates for RCT I and RCT II, at December 31, 2012, were 4.26% and 4.26%, respectively. 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 March 31, 2013 were $334,000 and $353,000, respectively. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at December 31, 2012 were $358,000 and $377,000, respectively.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2013 was $658.0 million and gave effect to $14.9 million of unrealized losses on our cash flow hedges and $6.8 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and also from improvement in the fair market value of our securities available-for-sale portfolio. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2012 was $613.3 million and gave the effect to $15.6 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges and $11.5 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The increase in stockholder’s equity during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was principally due to the proceeds from sales of our common stock through our DRIP and the issuance by our at-the market offering of 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock.

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. Our board of directors also uses FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income and REIT taxable income, in making decisions regarding distributions.

(Back to Index)

While 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 our 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

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our principal sources of current liquidity were proceeds from the sale of common stock through our DRIP and proceeds from our ATM program on our 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock as well as funds available in existing CDO financings of $107.6 million and cash flow from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received $18.0 million of DRIP proceeds and $26.9 million of preferred stock sales proceeds, both of which are included in our $67.7 million of unrestricted cash at March 31, 2013. In addition, we had capital available through two CRE term facilities to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities and origination of commercial real estate loans of $55.9 million and $85.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, our principal sources of current liquidity were proceeds from the sale of common stock through our DRIP, proceeds from our offering of 8.5% Series A Preferred Stock and proceed from our offering of 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock as well as funds available in existing CDO financings of $78.5 million and cash flow from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we received $73.0 million of DRIP proceeds and $43.1 million of preferred stock sales proceeds, both of which are included in our $85.3 million of unrestricted cash at December 31, 2012. In addition, we had capital available through two CRE term facilities to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities and origination of commercial real estate loans of $45.3 million and $90.9 million, respectively.

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 March 31, 2013, 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 distributions to us from our CDOs and a summary of our compliance with the coverage tests for these CDOs for the periods presented (in thousands):

(3)	Interest coverage cushion represents the amount by which annualized interest income expected exceeds the annualized amount payable on all classes of CDO notes senior to RSO's preference shares.


(4)	Overcollateralization cushion represents the amount by which the collateral held by the CDO issuer exceeds the maximum amount required.


(5)	Apidos CDO I reinvestment period expired in July 2011.


(6)	Apidos CDO III reinvestment period expired in June 2012.

(7)	Distributions from Apidos CLO VIII, which closed in October 2011, includes $190,000 and $752,000 in base and subordinated management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively; RSO's distributions represent 43% of the subordinated debt as a result of our investment of $15.0 million.


(8)	Whitney CLO I was acquired in October 2012, when RSO purchased 66.6% of the outstanding preference shares, includes $203,000 and $236,000 of collateral management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.


(9)	RREF CDO 2006-1 reinvestment period expired in September 2011.


(10)	RREF CDO 2007-1 reinvestment period expired in June 2012.

At April 30, 2013, after paying the first quarter common and preferred dividends, our liquidity is derived from two primary sources:


•	unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $162.8 million, restricted cash of $500,000 in margin call accounts and restricted cash of $4.3 million in the form of real estate escrows, reserves and deposits; and


•	capital available for reinvestment in its three of its CDO entities of $30.6 million, of which $710,000 is designated to finance future funding commitments on CRE loans, loan principal repayments of $74.5 million that will pay down outstanding CLO notes, and $11.4 million in interest collections.

Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our leverage ratio was 2.5 times and 2.9 times, respectively. The decrease in leverage ratio was primarily due to the repayment of our CDO notes and equity offering proceeds received through our 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 March 15, 2013, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.20 per share of common stock or $21.6 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 26, 2013, to stockholders of record as of March 28, 2013.

On March 18, 2013, we declared distributions totaling $359,000 or $0.53 per share to our Series A Preferred share stockholders, which was paid on April 30, 2013 to our preferred share stockholders of record as of April 1, 2013.

On March 18, 2013, we declared distributions totaling $1.2 million or $0.51 per share to our Series B Preferred share stockholders, which was paid on April 30, 2013 to our preferred share stockholders of record as of April 1, 2013.

(1)

Contractual commitments do not include $3.1 million, $6.4 million, $3.9 million, $8.1 million, $15.2 million, $11.0 million and $40.0 million of interest expense payable through the stated maturity dates of July 2014, May 2015, May 2015, March 2017, June 2017 and October 2017, respectively, on Apidos CDO I, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO III, RREF 2006-1, Whitney CLO I, RREF 2007-1 and Apidos CLO VIII. The maturity date represents the period under which the CDO assets can be sold, resulting in repayment of the CDO notes.


(2)	Contractual commitments include $115,000 of interest expense payable through the maturity date of April 18, 2013 on our repurchase agreements.

(Back to Index)


(3)	Contractual commitments do not include $46.1 million and $47.0 million of estimated interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036, respectively, on our trust preferred securities.


(4)	The joint venture agreement requires us to contribute 3% to 5% (depending on the terms of the agreement pursuant to which the particular asset is being acquired) of the total funding required for each asset acquisition as needed, up to a specified amount. We expect that all remaining assets will be sold within two years.


(5)	Unfunded commitments on CRE loans 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.


(6)	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 March 31, 2013, we had 16 interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $133.8 million. These contracts are fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements under which we contracted to pay a fixed rate of interest for the term of the hedge and will receive a floating rate of interest. As of March 31, 2013, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 4.96% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 0.20%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

General

As of March 31, 2013, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes, although we do have interests in unconsolidated entities not established for those purposes. Except as set forth below, as of December 31, 2012, we had not guaranteed obligations of any such unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Unfunded Loan Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to borrowers whose loans are in our commercial real estate loan portfolio to provide additional loan funding in the future. These commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments is subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria. Upon disbursement of funds, we receive loan interest income on any such advanced funds. As of March 31, 2013, we had eight loans with unfunded commitments totaling $9.5 million, of which $710,000 will be funded by restricted cash in RREF CDO 2007-1; we intend to fund the remaining $8.8 million through cash flow from normal operating activities and principal repayments on other loans in our portfolio. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting requirements and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide guarantees and indemnifications that contingently obligate us to make payments to the guaranteed or indemnified party based on changes in the value of an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed or indemnified party. As such, we may be obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity’s failure to perform or achieve specified performance criteria, or we may have an indirect guarantee of the indebtedness of others. On November 16, 2011, as set forth in " -Financial Condition", as part of the LCC transaction, we and Resource America become jointly and severally liable to contribute cash to LCC, to the extent that the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LEAF Receivables Funding 3 is less than $18.7 million (the value of Leaf Receivables Funding 3’s equity when it was contributed to LCC by RCC) as of a specified final testing date within 90 days following December 31, 2013. We do not believe it is probable or estimable that we will be required to fund LCC in accordance with the SPA because LEAF Receivables Funding 3 is currently profitable and is expected to be profitable through the year ended December 31, 2013.


ITEM 3 .	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2013, 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.

(Back to Index)

Effect on Fair Value

A component of interest rate risk is the effect changes in interest rates will have on the fair value of our assets. We face the risk that the fair 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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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):



	March 31, 2013
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement ⁽¹⁾:
Fair value	$	250,315		$	240,547		$	231,514
Change in fair value	$	9,768					$	(9,033	)
Change as a percent of fair value	4.06		%				3.76		%

Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(16,367	)	$	(14,036	)	$	(9,843	)
Change in fair value	$	(2,331	)				$	4,193
Change as a percent of fair value	16.61		%				29.87		%



	December 31, 2012
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement ⁽¹⁾:
Fair value	$	163,093		$	157,423		$	152,124
Change in fair value	$	5,670					$	(5,299	)
Change as a percent of fair value	3.60		%				3.37		%

Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(16,956	)	$	(14,687	)	$	(10,090	)
Change in fair value	$	(2,269	)				$	4,597
Change as a percent of fair value	15.45		%				31.30		%

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

For purposes of the table, 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.

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 changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
