The Company is externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc. (the "Manager"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of C-III Capital Partners LLC ("C-III"), a leading CRE investment management and services company engaged in a broad range of activities. C-III is the beneficial owner of approximately 2.3% of the Company’s outstanding common shares at September 30, 2017.

The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a REIT.

In November 2016, the Company received approval from its board of directors to execute a strategic plan (the "Plan") to focus its strategy on CRE debt investments. The Plan contemplates disposing of certain Legacy CRE loans (loans underwritten prior to 2010), exiting underperforming non-core asset classes (residential real estate-related assets and commercial finance assets) and establishing a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings. As a result, the Company evaluated its residential mortgage and middle market lending segments' assets and liabilities and determined both met all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016. As a result of the reclassification, these segments are reported as discontinued operations and have been excluded from continuing operations.

On July 1, 2016, the Company underwent an internal tax restructuring in order to reduce the costs and increase efficiencies by consolidating operations into one centralized entity or group of entities. As a result of this tax restructuring, several of the Company’s directly owned subsidiaries converted from corporations to single member limited liability companies ("LLCs"). In addition, several directly owned subsidiaries of the Company merged into a wholly-owned taxable real estate investment trust subsidiary ("TRS") and were dissolved upon the restructuring.

The following subsidiaries are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements:


•	RCC Real Estate, Inc. ("RCC Real Estate"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, holds CRE loans, CRE related securities and historically has held direct investments in real estate. RCC Real Estate owns 100% of the equity of the following variable interest entities ("VIEs"):

◦

RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 were established to complete a collateralized debt obligation ("CDO") issuance secured by a portfolio of CRE loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"). These entities were deconsolidated at January 1, 2016, and the retained investment was accounted for as an investment security, available-for-sale in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In April 2016 and November 2016, RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 were liquidated in exchange for the Company's interests. The remaining assets of the CDOs were distributed to the Company, comprised of investment securities available-for-sale and CRE loans held for investment that were recorded at fair value.

◦

Resource Capital Corp. CRE Notes 2013, Ltd. ("RCC CRE Notes 2013") and Resource Capital Corp. 2014-CRE2, Ltd. ("RCC 2014-CRE2") were established to complete CRE securitization issuances secured by a portfolio of CRE loans. In December 2016 and August 2017, RCC CRE Notes 2013 and RCC 2014-CRE2, respectively, were liquidated and, as a result, the remaining assets were returned to the Company in exchange for the Company's preference shares and equity notes in the securitizations.


◦	Resource Capital Corp. 2015-CRE3, Ltd. ("RCC 2015-CRE3"), Resource Capital Corp. 2015-CRE4, Ltd. ("RCC 2015-CRE4") and Resource Capital Corp. 2017-CRE5, Ltd. ("RCC 2017-CRE5") were each established to complete CRE securitization issuances secured by a separate portfolio of loans.


•	RCC Commercial, Inc. ("RCC Commercial"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, holds a 29.6% investment in NEW NP, LLC ("NEW NP, LLC"), which holds syndicated corporate loan investments and one directly originated middle market loan.

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") and the accounting policies set forth in Note 2 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, majority owned or controlled subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

All adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately $278.4 million and $111.6 million, respectively, of the reported cash balances exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250,000 per institution. However, all of the Company's cash deposits are held at multiple, established financial institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.

Allowance for Loan Losses

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company refined its process for the computation of its general reserve for loan losses to more fully align with the results of its risk ratings process. This change in estimate did not yield an estimate for the Company's general reserve that was materially different than estimates as determined under the Company's previous method for estimating the general reserve.

Loans that are held for investment are carried at cost, net of unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts, loan fees, and origination costs as applicable, unless the loans are deemed impaired. The Company evaluates each loan classified as held-for-investment for impairment at least quarterly. In connection with this evaluation, the Company assesses the performance of each loan and assigns a risk rating based on the collective evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: collateral performance relative to underwritten plan, time since origination, current implied and/or reunderwritten loan-to-collateral value ratios ("LTV"), risk inherent in the loan structure, and the loan's exit plan. Loans are rated "1" through "5," from less risk to greater risk, in connection with this review. Loan with a risk rating of 5 are individually measured for impairment on a quarterly basis.

The general reserve, established for loans not determined to be impaired individually, is based on the Company's loan risk ratings. The Company records a general reserve equal to 1.5% of the aggregate carrying amount of loans with a risk rating of "3," plus 5.0% of the aggregate carrying amount of loans with a risk rating of "4."

Discontinued Operations

The results of operations of a component or a group of components of the Company that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

Income Taxes

The Company established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset of approximately $17.0 million (tax effected $4.5 million) at September 30, 2017 as the Company believed it was more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. This assessment was based on the Company’s cumulative historical losses and uncertainties as to the amount of taxable income that would be generated in future years.

Recent Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2017

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board, or "FASB" issued guidance to amend how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a VIE should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The guidance requires that if, under the first characteristic of a primary beneficiary, the reporting entity determines that it is the single decision maker of a VIE, then the reporting entity is required to include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the reporting entity does not satisfy the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary after performing the assessment, the reporting entity is required to evaluate whether it and one or more of its related parties under common control, as a group, have the characteristics of a primary beneficiary. If the characteristics of a primary beneficiary are met as a group, then the party within the related party group that is most closely associated with the VIE is the primary beneficiary. The guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new guidance allows for entities to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. In addition, the guidance allows employers to withhold shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements up to the employees’ maximum individual tax rate without causing the award to be classified as a liability. The guidance also stipulates that cash paid by an employer to a taxing authority when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. This guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods

In July 2017, the FASB issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities. Additionally, the guidance simplifies the application of the hedge accounting guidance via certain targeted improvements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Modification accounting should be applied unless all of the following three criteria are met: (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to add the SEC Staff Announcement "Disclosure of the Impact that Recently Issued Accounting Standards will have on the Financial Statements of a Registrant when such Standards are Adopted in a Future Period (in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M)." The announcement applies to the May 2014 guidance on revenue recognition from contracts with customers, the February 2016 guidance on leases and the June 2016 guidance on how credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are measured at fair value through net income are determined. The announcement provides the SEC staff view that a registrant should evaluate certain recent accounting standards that have not yet been adopted to determine appropriate financial statement disclosures about the potential material effects of those recent accounting standards. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact that adoption of the recent accounting standards referenced in this announcement is expected to have on the financial statements, then the registrant should make a statement to that effect and consider the additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact that the recent accounting standards will have on the financial statements of the registrant when adopted. The Company has not completed its assessment under the new guidance on revenue recognition from contracts with customers, however, it expects to identify similar performance obligations as currently identified; therefore, the Company does not expect a material impact upon the application of this guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on leases and the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments and its impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions, or disposals, of assets or businesses. The guidance provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (a "set") is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired, or disposed of, is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the guidance requires that: (i) to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output and (ii) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The guidance also narrows the definition of an output to: the result of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that provide goods or services to customers, investment income (such as dividends or interest), or other revenues. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only for certain transactions. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance to reduce the diversity in practice of the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance to reduce the diversity in practice around the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: (i) debt prepayments or extinguishment costs; (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (iv) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); (v) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with insignificant coupon rates; (vi) distributions received from equity method investees; (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance which will change how credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are measured at fair value through net income are determined. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, the guidance requires recording allowances rather than reducing the carrying amount, as it is currently under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged. The guidance will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the timing, amount and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance to address certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments in order to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The guidance requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements, and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and the interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted for certain provisions. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that establishes key principles by which an entity determines the amount and timing of revenue recognized from customer contracts. At issuance, the guidance was effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance that delayed the previous effective date by one year, resulting in the original guidance becoming effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application, which was not permissible under the initial effectiveness timeline, is now permissible though no earlier than as of the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2016. In 2016, the FASB issued multiple amendments to the accounting standard to provide further clarification. The Company has not completed its assessment under the new guidance, however, we do not expect that their adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as financial instruments are explicitly scoped out of the standards and nearly all of our income is generated from financial instruments.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2017 presentation, including the impact of discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale.

NOTE 3 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company has evaluated its securities, loans, investments in unconsolidated entities, liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing preferred securities (consisting of unsecured junior subordinated notes), securitizations, guarantees and other financial contracts in order to determine if they are variable interests in VIEs. The Company regularly monitors these legal interests and contracts and, to the extent it has determined that it has a variable interest, analyzes the related entity for potential consolidation.

Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is the primary beneficiary of Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Whitney CLO I, RCC 2015-CRE3, RCC 2015-CRE4 and RCC 2017-CRE5 at September 30, 2017; and at December 31, 2016, the Company was the primary beneficiary of the Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Whitney CLO I, RCC 2014-CRE2, RCC 2015-CRE3 and RCC 2015-CRE4 (for each period, collectively the "Consolidated VIEs").

The Consolidated VIEs were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities, CMBS, syndicated corporate loans, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The Manager manages the CRE related entities, and CVC Credit Partners manages the commercial finance-related entities on behalf of the Company, respectively. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of debt securities, 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 and is continually assessed. All of the Company's VIEs were reevaluated under the revised consolidation model effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. In August 2017, RCC 2014-CRE2 was liquidated and, as a result, the remaining assets were returned to the Company in exchange for the Company's preference shares and equity notes in the securitization.

On November 14, 2016, the Company substantially liquidated Apidos Cinco CDO, a syndicated corporate loan CLO determined to be a VIE that is managed by CVC Credit Partners. As a result of the liquidation, all senior and mezzanine notes of the securitization were repaid, leaving only the Company's equity interest in the securitization outstanding as of December 31, 2016. Because substantially all of the VIE's activities are being conducted on behalf of a single variable interest holder that is a related party of the decision maker, it was determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the transaction and, as such, should consolidate Apidos Cinco CDO. The Company consolidated the remaining restricted cash, one structured security and three syndicated corporate loans for an aggregate combined fair value of $2.3 million. The Company received cash distributions of $22.4 million as a result of the liquidation through September 30, 2017. The Company elected the fair value option for the structured security and syndicated corporate loans upon acquisition. The Company believes fair value is the most useful indication of value for these assets given the short hold period

Whitney CLO I was a securitization in which the Company acquired rights to manage the collateral assets held by the entity in February 2011. For a discussion on the primary beneficiary analysis for Whitney, see "— Unconsolidated VIEs – Resource Capital Asset Management," below.

For a discussion of the Company’s consolidated securitizations, see Note 1, and for a discussion of the debt issued through the securitizations, see Note 10.

For consolidated 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 statements of operations.

The Company has exposure to losses on its securitizations to the extent of its subordinated debt and preferred equity investments 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 securitizations, distributions with respect to its preferred equity interests. As a result of consolidation, debt and equity interests the Company holds in these securitizations have been eliminated, and the Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflects both the assets held and debt issued by the securitizations to third parties and any accrued expense to third parties. The Company's operating results and cash flows include the gross amounts related to the securitizations' assets and liabilities as opposed to the Company's net economic interests in the securitizations. Assets and liabilities related to the securitizations 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 nor to each other. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company provided no financial support to any 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 that obligate the Company to provide financial support to any of its consolidated VIEs.

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 financial statements at September 30, 2017. The Company’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the "Maximum Exposure to Loss" column in the table below.

RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1

RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities and CMBS and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The Manager manages the CRE related entities on behalf of the Company. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception and is continually assessed. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the amendments to the consolidation guidance. As a result of its evaluation, the Company determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as its investments in these vehicles do not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest and were deconsolidated. At deconsolidation, the Company recorded its investments in these VIEs at fair value and accounted for these investments as investment securities available-for-sale in its consolidated financial statements. In April 2016, the Company liquidated its investment in RREF CDO 2006-1 and, as a result, exchanged its interest in RREF CDO 2006-1 for the CDO's remaining assets with a fair value of $65.7 million after paying off the CDO's third-party debt of $7.5 million and recognized a gain of approximately $846,000 as a result of this transaction, which was recorded in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives on the consolidated statements of operations. In November 2016, the Company liquidated its investment in RREF CDO 2007-1 and, as a result, exchanged its interest in RREF CDO 2007-1 for the CDO's remaining assets with a fair value of $130.9 million after paying off the CDO's third-party debt of $33.7 million and recognized a gain of approximately $2.1 million as a result of this transaction, which was recorded in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives on the consolidated statements of operations.

RCM Global, LLC

In July 2014, the Company, together with Resource America, Inc. ("Resource America") and certain Resource America employees, acquired through RCM Global a portfolio of available-for-sale securities for $23.5 million. The portfolio is managed by Resource America. The Company contributed $15.0 million for a 63.8% membership interest. Revenues and expenses of RCM Global are allocated to each member in accordance with their membership interest. In March and June 2015, the Company requested and received an in-kind distribution in certain securities held by RCM Global resulting in a reduction of its ownership interest. RCM Global was determined to be a VIE based on the majority equity interest holders' inability to direct the activities that are most significant to the entity. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the amendments to the consolidation guidance. Upon adoption, the Company reevaluated its variable interest in RCM Global and determined it would no longer be the primary beneficiary of RCM Global, as its investment in the limited liability company did not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest. As a result of its evaluation, the Company deconsolidated its investment in RCM Global. As of January 1, 2016, the Company accounted for its investment in RCM Global as an equity method investment in investments in unconsolidated entities in its consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2017, the Company held a 9.5% interest in RCM Global with a fair value of $32,000, and the remainder was owned by subsidiaries of Resource America and certain of its employees and their spouses.

Pelium Capital, L.P.

In September 2014, the Company contributed $17.5 million to Pelium Capital for an initial ownership interest of 80.4%, and subsequently funded its final commitment of $2.5 million in February 2015. Pelium Capital is a specialized credit opportunity fund managed by an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of C-III. The Company will receive 10% of the carried interest in the partnership. Resource America contributed cash of $2.8 million to the formation of Pelium Capital. At December 31, 2015, Pelium Capital was accounted for as a consolidated voting interest subsidiary. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the amendments to the consolidation guidance. Upon adoption, the Company reevaluated its interest in Pelium Capital and determined that although it now possessed a variable interest in Pelium Capital, it would not be the primary beneficiary of Pelium Capital, as its investment in the limited liability company does not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest. As a result of its reevaluation, the Company deconsolidated its investment in Pelium Capital on January 1, 2016, and accounted for its investment as an equity method investment in investments in unconsolidated entities in its consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2017, the Company had an investment balance of $12.3 million and held an 80.2% interest in Pelium Capital.

Pearlmark Mezzanine Realty Partners IV, L.P.

In June 2015, the Company committed up to $50.0 million in Pearlmark Mezzanine Realty Partners IV, L.P. ("Pearlmark Mezz"), a Delaware limited partnership created to acquire and manage financial interests in CRE property. The investment advisor is Pearlmark Real Estate LLC ("Pearlmark Manager"), which was 50% owned by Resource America. The Company determined it possessed a variable interest in Pearlmark Mezz; however, it would not be the primary beneficiary of Pearlmark Mezz, as its investment in the limited liability company does not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest. The Company accounted for its investment in Pearlmark Mezz as an equity method investment in investments in unconsolidated entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company paid Pearlmark Manager management fees of 1.0% on the unfunded committed capital and 1.5% on the invested capital. The Company was entitled to a management fee rebate of 25% for the first year of the fund, which ended in June 2016. Resource America agreed to credit any such fees paid by the Company to Pearlmark Manager against the base management fee that the Company paid the Manager. In May 2017, the Company sold its equity interest in Pearlmark Mezz for proceeds of $16.2 million and recognized a net loss of $345,000, which was recorded in equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.

In November 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange its lease-related investments for shares of LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.'s ("LCC") Series A, Series B and Series D Preferred Stock. During 2013, the Company entered into an additional agreement with LCC to purchase shares of Series A-1 and Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock expired and as a result was exchanged for additional Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of LCC because it did not participate in any management or portfolio decisions, held only two of six board positions, and did not have controlling voting rights in the entity and as a result accounted for its investment in LCC as an equity method investment in investments in unconsolidated entities in its consolidated financial statements. In July 2017, the Company received cash proceeds of $84.3 million and realized a gain of $41.1 million in connection with the sale of its investment in LCC.

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"), respectively, with a value of $1.5 million in the aggregate (or 3% of each trust) at September 30, 2017. 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 of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated entities 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 each of RCT I and 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 managed syndicated corporate loan assets through five CLOs. As a result, the Company became entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from the CLOs. This intangible asset was allocated to each of the five CLOs and was amortized over the expected life of each CLO. As of March 2017, the last of the five CLOs was liquidated; and, as a result, any remaining balance of the Company's associated intangible asset was written off.

The following table shows the classification, carrying value and maximum exposure to loss with respect to the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs at September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

Credit quality indicators

Commercial Real Estate Loans

The Company's CRE loans are collateralized by a diversified mix of real estate properties and are assessed for credit quality based on the collective evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: collateral performance relative to underwritten plan, time since origination, current implied and/or reunderwritten LTV, loan structure, and the loan's exit plan. Depending on the loan's performance against these various factors, loans are rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with loans rated 1 representing loans with the highest credit quality and loans rated 5 representing loans with lowest credit quality. The factors evaluated provide general criteria to monitor credit migration in the Company's loan portfolio, as such, a loan's rating may improve or worsen, depending on new information received.

The criteria set forth below should be used as general guidelines, and, therefore, not every loan will have all of the characteristics described in each category below. Loans that are performing according to their underwritten plans generally will not require an allowance for loan loss.




Risk Rating		Risk Characteristics

1		• Property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations.
		• Occupancy is stabilized, the property has had a history of consistently high occupancy, and the property has a diverse and high quality tenant mix.

2		• Property performance is consistent with underwritten expectations and covenants and performance criteria are being met or exceeded.
		• Occupancy is stabilized, near stabilized or is on track with underwriting.

3		• Property performance lags behind underwritten expectations.
		• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has some rollover.

4		• Property performance significantly lags behind underwritten expectations. Performance criteria and loan covenants have required occasional waivers.
		• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has a large amount of rollover.

5		• Property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectations. The loan is not in compliance with loan covenants and performance criteria and is in default. Sale proceeds would not be sufficient to pay off the loan at maturity.
		• The property has material vacancy and significant rollover of remaining tenants.
		• An updated appraisal is required.

CRE whole loans are evaluated for any credit deterioration by debt asset management and certain finance personnel on at least a quarterly basis. Loans are first individually evaluated for impairment; and to the extent not deemed impaired, a general reserve is established.

The allowance for loan loss is computed as (i) 1.5% of the aggregate carrying amount of loans rated as a 3, plus (ii) 5% of the aggregate carrying amount of loans rated as a 4, plus (iii) specific allowances measured and determined on loans individually evaluated, which are loans rated 5. While the overall risk rating is generally not the sole factor used in determining whether a loan is impaired, a loan with a higher overall risk rating would tend to have more adverse indicators of impairment, and therefore would be more likely to experience a credit loss.

(1)	Pursuant to the Company's strategic plan described in Note 1, certain Legacy CRE whole loans were moved to loans held for sale and included in assets held for sale carried at the lower of cost or fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively (see Note 21).


(2)	Includes one loan with a maturity date of May 2017 that is currently in default.


(3)	Includes one loan with a maturity date of November 2017 that entered into technical default in November 2017.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had one CRE whole loan with a credit quality rating of 5 under the Company's current rating methodology and 4 under the Company's previous rating methodology, respectively, due to short term vacancy/tenant concerns and a past due maturity of February 2017. The CRE whole loan is collateralized by a retail shopping center in Roswell, GA and had an amortized cost of $7.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. For the period ended December 31, 2016, the Company obtained an appraisal and used the value indicated in the appraisal as a practical expedient in determining the fair value of the loan. The appraisal indicated a fair value of $4.5 million, and the Company recorded a specific provision of $2.5 million on the loan during the fourth quarter of 2016. No additional provision was recorded on the loan for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017. This loan is in default at September 30, 2017.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had eight Legacy CRE whole loans and one mezzanine loan included in assets held for sale with a total carrying value of $158.2 million. Appraisals, as a practical expedient for fair value, were obtained for all eight Legacy CRE whole loans classified as assets held for sale. The mezzanine loan had a fair value of $0. The Company recorded, and subsequently charged off upon transfer of the loans to assets held for sale, specific reserves on four of the five loans transferred to assets held for sale totaling $15.8 million, where the carrying values of the loans exceeded their fair values. These five loans had a collective carrying value of $110.7 million at December 31, 2016 and were comprised of the following:

•

Two CRE whole loans cross-collateralized by a hotel in Studio City, CA, with an initial par value of $67.5 million. These loans were written down to their collective appraised value of $61.4 million. The loans had a maturity date of February 2017. On June 30, 2017, the borrower sold the collateral underlying these loans. Proceeds of $67.0 million were received by the Company in July 2017. As a result of this transaction, the Company realized a gain of $5.6 million included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations as net realized and unrealized gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2017;

•

One CRE whole loan collateralized by a hotel in Tucson, AZ with an initial par value of $32.5 million. This loan was written down to its appraised value of $14.3 million. On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into a discounted payoff agreement with its borrower and received proceeds of $21.3 million in satisfaction of this loan. This transaction resulted in the recognition of a realized gain of $7.0 million in the Company's consolidated statements of operations as net realized and unrealized gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives:


•	One CRE whole loan collateralized by an office property in Phoenix, AZ with an initial par value of $17.7 million. This loan was written down to its appraised value of $11.0 million. The loan had a maturity date of May 2017 and is currently in default;


•	One CRE whole loan collateralized by a hotel in Palm Springs, CA with an initial par value of $29.5 million. This loan was written down to its appraised value of $24.0 million.

As a result of the aforementioned transactions related to each of the Studio City, CA properties and the Tucson, AZ property, two of the five aforementioned Legacy CRE whole loans remain at September 30, 2017 and have a collective carrying value of $35.0 million.

At September 30, 2017, 50%, 36% and 14% of the Company's Legacy CRE whole loans were concentrated in hotel, retail and office, respectively. Of these loans, 86% are within the Pacific region and 14% are within the Mountain region, as defined by NCREIF. At December 31, 2016, 54%, 39% and 7% of the Company's Legacy CRE whole loans were concentrated in hotel, retail and office, respectively. Of these loans, 84% are within the Pacific region and 16% are within the Mountain region.

Three CRE whole loans held for sale with a collective carrying value of $44.6 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 had fair values in excess of their carrying values. Before being transferred to assets held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016, these loans were risked-rated in category 1 or category 2 (under the Company's previous rating methodology).

All of the Company's CRE whole loans were current with respect to contractual principal and interest except one defaulted CRE whole loan collateralized by a retail shopping center in Roswell, GA that had a carrying value of $4.5 million at September 30, 2017 and one defaulted Legacy CRE loan, classified as an asset held for sale, collateralized by an office property in Phoenix, AZ that had a carrying value of $11.0 million at September 30, 2017.

The unrealized losses in the above table are considered to be temporary impairments due to market factors and are not reflective of credit deterioration.

The Company recognized no other-than-temporary impairment on its investment securities available-for-sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized a $21.6 million other-than-temporary impairment on its investment securities available-for-sale. Of this amount, $20.7 million related to the Company’s previously consolidated CRE CDO, RREF 2007-1, which was classified as an investment security available-for-sale. The impairment charge on the security reflected the credit impact to the fair value of the security given the results of updated appraisals on the underlying collateral, which reduced the Company's cost basis in the security permanently.

The Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of $241,000 on three positions classified as securities available-for-sale, RMBS during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 after it was determined the Company would not be able to recover the full cost basis of these positions due to declines in the future projected cash flows of the securities.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Company's consolidated securitizations at September 30, 2017 (in thousands):



Securitization	Closing Date	Maturity Date	End of Designated Principal Reinvestment Period ⁽¹⁾	Total Note Paydowns received from Closing Date through September 30, 2017
RCC 2015-CRE3	February 2015	March 2032	February 2017	$	152,864
RCC 2015-CRE4	August 2015	August 2032	August 2017	$	132,852
RCC 2017-CRE5	July 2017	July 2034	July 2020	$	—


(1)	The designated principal reinvestment period is the period where principal payments received by each respective securitization may be utilized by the Company to purchase funding participations of existing collateral originally underwritten at the close of each securitization, which was funded outside of the deal structure.

The investments held by the Company's securitizations collateralize the securitizations' borrowings and, as a result, are not available to the Company, its creditors, or stockholders. All senior notes held by the Company at September 30, 2017 are eliminated in consolidation.

RCC 2014-CRE2

In August 2017, the Company initiated the liquidation of RCC 2014-CRE2, and all of the outstanding senior notes were paid off from the payoff proceeds of certain of the securitization's assets.

RCC 2017-CRE5

In July 2017, the Company closed RCC 2017-CRE5, a $376.7 million CRE securitization transaction that provided financing for transitional commercial real estate loans. RCC 2017-CRE5 issued a total of $251.4 million of senior notes at par to unrelated investors. RCC Real Estate purchased 100% of the Class C notes for $49.9 million. In addition, Resource Real Estate Funding 2017-CRE5 Investor, LLC, a subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased a $75.3 million equity interest, representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. The senior notes purchased by RCC Real Estate are subordinated in right of payment to all other senior notes issued by RCC 2017-CRE5, but are senior in right of payment to the preference shares. The equity interest is subordinated in right of payment to all other securities issued by RCC 2017-CRE5.

At closing, the senior notes issued to investors by RCC 2017-CRE5 consisted of the following classes: (i) $203.4 million of Class A notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 0.80%; (ii) $48.0 million of Class B notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.00%; and (iii) $49.9 million of Class C notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. All of the notes issued mature in July 2034, although the Company has the right to call the notes anytime after July 2019. There is no reinvestment period in RCC 2017-CRE5; however, principal repayments, for a period ending in July 2020, may be used to purchase funding participations with respect to existing collateral held outside of the securitization. The weighted average interest rate on the Class A and Class B notes was 2.26% at September 30, 2017.

Corporate Debt

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2017, the Company issued $143.8 million aggregate principal of its 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2022 (the "4.50% Convertible Senior Notes"). The gross proceeds were utilized to pay $3.9 million in debt issuance costs and to extinguish a portion of the Company's 6.00% convertible senior notes due 2018 (the "6.00% Convertible Senior Notes") and 8.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the "8.00%% Convertible Senior Notes"), resulting in the receipt of net proceeds of $13.5 million. In addition, the Company recorded a discount of $14.2 million (the offset of which was recorded in additional paid-in capital) on the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes that reflects the difference between the proceeds received less the fair value of the notes as if they were issued without a conversion feature. The market discounts and the deferred debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations on an effective interest basis over the period ended on February 15, 2022. Interest on the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes is paid semi-annually.

NOTE 15 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Relationship with C-III and Certain of its Subsidiaries

Relationship with C-III and Certain of their Subsidiaries. On September 8, 2016, Resource America was acquired by C-III, a leading CRE investment management and services company engaged in a broad range of activities, including primary and special loan servicing, loan origination, fund management, CDO management, principal investment, zoning due diligence, investment sales and multifamily property management. As part of the transaction, C-III took over control of the Company's Manager and became the beneficial owner of 715,396 shares of the Company's common stock (2.3% of the Company's outstanding common shares) through its indirect ownership of the Company's Manager and Resource Capital Investor, Inc. C-III is indirectly controlled and partially owned by Island Capital Group ("Island Capital"), of which Andrew L. Farkas, Chairman of the Company, is the managing member. Mr. Farkas is also chairman and chief executive officer of C-III. In addition, Robert C. Lieber, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, is an executive managing director of both C-III and Island Capital. Matthew J. Stern, the Company's President, is a senior managing director of both C-III and Island Capital. Jeffrey P. Cohen, who is a member of the Company’s Board, is an executive managing director of C-III and president of Island Capital. These officers and the Company’s other executive officers are also officers of the Company’s Manager, Resource America, C-III or affiliates of those companies.

The Company has entered into a management agreement under which the Company's Manager receives substantial fees. On May 22, 2016, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Resource America pursuant to which the Company irrevocably waived its right to terminate the management agreement as a result of a "Change of Control" (as defined in the management agreement) resulting from the acquisition of Resource America by C-III. Upon consummation of that acquisition, Resource America paid a $1.5 million fee to the Company for the waiver. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Manager earned base management fees of approximately $2.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Manager earned base management fees of approximately $2.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Manager earned incentive management fees of $2.2 million, of which 75%, or $1.6 million will be paid in cash and 25%, or approximately $539,000 will be paid in common stock. No incentive management fees were earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company reimburses the Manager for expenses and the costs of employees of Resource America who perform legal, accounting, due diligence and other services that outside professionals or consultants would otherwise perform. The management agreement, as amended, also provides that the Manager must furnish the Company with a director of investor relations. The Company bears the expense of the compensation and benefits of the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and several accounting and tax professionals and 50% of the salary and benefits of the investor relations officer. Until September 8, 2016, the Company also reimbursed Resource America for the compensation and benefits of the former Chairman. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reimbursed the Manager $1.2 million and $4.2 million for all such compensation and costs, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reimbursed the Manager $1.4 million and $4.0 million for all such compensation and costs, respectively.

NOTE 16 - DISTRIBUTIONS

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company declared and subsequently paid a dividend of $0.05 per common share.

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 funds to make sufficient distribution payments.

The Company’s 2017 dividends are determined by the Company’s board of directors, which also consider the composition of any dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares.

The Company's Pearlmark Mezz indemnification liability, recognized in earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, had a fair value of $703,000 at September 30, 2017. The fair value, determined on a non-recurring basis, was valued by a third-party valuation service.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair values of the Company's short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, interest receivable, principal paydowns receivable, accrued interest expense and distributions payable approximate their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s investment securities, trading are reported in Note 7. The fair values of the Company’s investment securities available-for-sale are reported in Note 8. The fair values of the Company's loans held for sale are reported in Note 5. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are reported in Note 18.

The fair value of the Company’s Level 3 loans held for investment are 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. Fair values of loans with variable interest rates are expected to approximate fair value.

Senior notes in CRE securitizations are valued using dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CRE securitization in which the notes are held.

Junior subordinated notes are estimated by discounted cash flows with discount rates of 11.34% and 11.34% and used in the evaluation of RCT I and RCT II, respectively.

The fair value of the convertible notes is determined using a discounted cash flow model that discounts the expected future cash flows using current interest rates on similar debts that do not have a conversion option. The 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes are discounted at a rate of 7.92%, the 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes are discounted at a rate of 9.65% and the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes are discounted at a rate of 7.17%.

Repurchase agreements are variable rate debt instruments indexed to LIBOR that reset periodically and, as a result, their carrying value approximates their fair value.

NOTE 18 - MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company is affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company's financial performance and are referred to as "market risks." When deemed appropriate, the Company uses derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

The Company may hold various derivatives in the ordinary course of business, including: interest rate swaps and forward contracts. Interest rate swap agreements are contracts between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices. Forward contracts represent future commitments to either purchase or to deliver a quantity of a currency (foreign currency hedging) at a predetermined future date, at a predetermined rate or price and are used to manage currency risk with respect to the Company's long positions in foreign currency-denominated investment securities.

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. 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. The Company seeks to mitigate the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime coupon adjustment restrictions in its investment portfolio by entering into interest rate hedging agreements such as interest rate caps and interest rate swaps.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had six interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid a weighted average fixed rate of 2.06% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $34.3 million at September 30, 2017. The counterparty for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts at September 30, 2017 was Wells Fargo.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s asset related to interest rate swaps was $211,000 at September 30, 2017. The Company had aggregate unrealized gains of $211,000 on the interest rate swap agreements at September 30, 2017, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company had aggregate unrealized losses on an interest rate swap agreement that was canceled, at the Company's request in April 2016, of $18,000 at December 31, 2016, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate unrealized loss is amortized through earnings over the remaining life of the canceled agreement. The amortization is reported in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred interest expense of $0 and $18,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to fully amortize the remaining accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company had master netting agreements with Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo at September 30, 2017. Regulations promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act mandate that the Company clear certain new interest rate swap transactions through a central counterparty. Transactions that are centrally cleared result in the Company facing a clearing house, rather than a swap dealer, as counterparty. Central clearing requires the Company to post collateral in the form of initial and variation margin to satisfy potential future obligations. At September 30, 2017, the Company had centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts with a fair value in an asset position of $211,000. At December 31, 2016, there were no centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts.

The Company classifies its interest rate risk hedges as cash flow hedges, which are hedges that eliminate the risk of changes in the cash flows of a financial asset or liability. The Company records changes in fair value of derivatives designated and effective as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and records changes in fair value of derivatives designated and ineffective as cash flow hedges in earnings.

The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk, a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another. However, substantially all of the Company's revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars. To address this market risk, the Company generally hedges foreign currency-denominated exposures (typically investments in debt instruments, including forecasted principal and interest payments) with foreign currency forward contracts. The Company classifies these hedges as fair value hedges, which are hedges that mitigate the risk of changes in the fair values of assets, liabilities, and certain types of firm commitments. The Company records changes in fair value of derivatives designated and effective as fair value hedges in earnings offset by corresponding changes in the fair values of the hedged items.

Forward contracts also contain an element of risk in that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In the event the parties to deliver commitments are unable to fulfill their obligations, the Company could potentially incur significant additional costs by replacing the positions at then current market rates. The Company manages its risk of exposure by limiting counterparties to those banks and institutions deemed appropriate by management. The Company does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, the Company does not expect to incur any cost related to counterparty default.

NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may become involved in litigation on various matters due to the nature of the Company's business activities, which it considers to be routine and in the ordinary conduct of its business. The resolution of these matters may result in adverse judgments, fines, penalties, injunctions and other relief against the Company as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations. In addition, the Company may enter into settlements on certain matters in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $1.5 million as a general litigation reserve.

In September 2015, Daren Levin filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between March 2, 2015 and August 4, 2015 (the "Levin Complaint"). In November 2015, the Court appointed Douglas Drees as the lead plaintiff in the action, and ordered the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint. In February 2016, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that the Company and certain of its officers and directors materially misrepresented certain risks of its commercial loan portfolio and processes and controls for assessing the quality of its portfolio. Based on these allegations, the amended complaint asserted claims for violation of the securities laws and seeks a variety of relief, including unspecified monetary damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. On June 1, 2017, a second amended complaint was filed that added a new class of Series B and Series C preferred shareholders, but was otherwise substantially similar to the amended complaint. The parties are currently engaged in discovery and the plaintiff has filed a motion for class certification, which the Company has opposed. The Company believes the plaintiff's claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

Six separate shareholder derivative suits (the "New York State Actions") purporting to assert claims on behalf of the Company were filed in the Supreme Court of New York on the following dates: December 2015 (the "Reaves Complaint"), February 2017 (the "Caito Complaint"), March 2017 (the "Simpson Complaint"), March 2017 (the "Heckel Complaint"), May 2017 (the "Schwartz Complaint") and August 2017 (the "Greff Complaint"). Plaintiffs in the Schwartz and Greff actions made demands on the board of directors before filing suit, but plaintiffs in the Reaves, Caito, Simpson, and Heckel actions did not. All of the shareholder derivative suits are substantially similar and allege that certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties, wasted corporate assets, and/or were unjustly enriched. Certain complaints assert additional claims against the Manager and Resource America for unjust enrichment based on allegations that the Manager received excessive management fees from the Company. In June 2017, the Court ordered the consolidation of the Reaves, Caito, Simpson and Heckel Complaints (collectively, the "New York State Demand Futile Actions") and stayed the New York State Demand Futile Actions in favor of the federal shareholder derivative litigation described below. The Company’s time to respond to the Schwartz and Greff complaints is presently stayed by stipulation of the parties. The Company believes that the plaintiffs in each of the New York State Actions lack standing to assert claims derivatively on the Company's behalf and intends to seek the dismissal of any New York State Action as to which the stay is lifted.

Four separate shareholder derivative suits purporting to assert claims on behalf of the Company were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on the following dates by shareholders who declined to make a demand on the board prior to filing suit: January 2017 (the "Greenberg Complaint"), January 2017 (the "Canoles Complaint"), January 2017 (the "DeCaro Complaint") and April 2017, (the "Gehan Complaint"). In May 2017, the Court consolidated the Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro and Gehan Complaints as the "Federal Demand Futile Actions," and in July 2017, appointed lead counsel and directed that a consolidated complaint be filed. Following consolidation, the Canoles and Gehan plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their suits. The consolidated complaint in the Federal Demand Futile Actions, filed on August 21, 2017, alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. The Company believes that the plaintiffs in the Federal Demand Futile Actions lack standing to assert claims derivatively on its behalf and moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint on that basis on October 20, 2017.

Three additional shareholder derivative suits purporting to assert claims on behalf of the Company were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on the following dates by shareholders who served demands on the board to bring litigation and allege that their demands were wrongfully refused: February 2017 (the "McKinney Complaint"), March 2017 (the "Sherek/Speigel Complaint") and April 2017 (the "Sebenoler Complaint"). In May 2017, the Court consolidated the McKinney, Sherek and Sebenoler Complaints as the "Federal Demand Refused Actions." A consolidated complaint was filed on June 30, 2017, alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ claims that their demands to bring litigation were wrongfully refused are without merit and that the plaintiffs lack standing to assert claims derivatively on the Company’s behalf. The Company moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint in the Federal Demand Refused Actions on that basis on September 15, 2017.

In August 2017, Robert Canoles filed a shareholder derivative suit in Maryland Circuit Court against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors, as well as the Manager and Resource America (the "Canoles Complaint"). Mr. Canoles had previously filed his suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, but voluntarily dismissed that action after the Court declined to appoint his counsel as lead counsel in the Federal Demand Futile Actions. The Canoles complaint, as amended in October 2017, asserts a variety of claims, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and corporate waste, that are based on allegations substantially similar to those at issue in the Federal Demand Futile Actions. The Company believes that Canoles lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on its behalf and intends to seek the dismissal of the Canoles action on that basis unless it is first stayed in favor of the duplicative Federal Demand Futile Actions.

In September 2017, Michael Hafkey filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against certain of the Company’s former officers and directors and the Manager (the "Hafkey Complaint"). The complaint asserts a breach of fiduciary duty claim that is substantially similar to the claims at issue in the Federal Demand Refused Actions. Mr. Hafkey previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate this claim, which was ultimately denied. The Company believes that Hafkey’s claim that his demand to bring litigation was wrongfully refused is without merit and that Hafkey consequently lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on the Company’s behalf. The Company expects to file a motion to dismiss the Hafkey action on that basis unless it is first stayed in favor of, or transferred and consolidated with, the duplicative Federal Demand Futile Actions.

A subsidiary of the Company is the subject of a lawsuit brought in 2014 by the purchaser of a hotel from such subsidiary. The complaint asserts breach of contract claims for non-payment of certain fees and expenses. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

PCM is a party to various claims and legal proceedings at various times. If PCM believes that a loss arising from any of these matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, the loss is recorded. Currently, the only litigation involving PCM is related to claims for repurchases or indemnifications on loans that PCM has sold to investors. Such claims are included in the reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications. The reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications was $4.7 million and $4.8 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Loans on one-to-four family residential mortgages originated by PCM are sold to various financial institutions and governmental entities with representations and warranties that are usual and customary for the industry. In the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties related to a loan sold, PCM may be required to indemnify the investor against future losses, repurchase the mortgage loan or reimburse the investor for actual losses incurred (referred to as "make whole payments"). The maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of an indemnification or loan repurchase would be the unpaid principal balance of the loan along with any premium paid by the investor when the loan was purchased, accrued but unpaid interest and other minor cost reimbursements. This maximum exposure is at least partially mitigated by the value of the collateral underlying the mortgage loan.

At September 30, 2017, outstanding demands for indemnification, repurchase or make whole payments totaled approximately $11.7 million.

The most significant remaining demands against PCM are from Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. ("LBHI"), which filed suit against PCM and approximately 150 sellers on February 3, 2016 alleging breaches of representations and warranties made on loans sold to LBHI. The repurchase claims asserted by LBHI relate to loans sold to LBHI that were subsequently sold by LBHI to either FNMA or FHLMC. PCM has established a reserve for these asserted claims at September 30, 2017. PCM sold additional loans to LBHI that were subsequently securitized and sold as RMBS by LBHI. Claims have been asserted by the RMBS investors against LBHI, but no amounts have been paid by LBHI, and no claims have been asserted by LBHI against PCM. No reserve has been established by PCM at September 30, 2017 for potential future claims related to loans sold to and securitized by LBHI. PCM intends to defend the actions vigorously.

Unfunded commitments on the Company’s originated 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, the Company would receive additional interest income on the advanced amount.

In May 2017, the Company received proceeds of $16.2 million from the sale of its equity interest in Pearlmark Mezz, an unconsolidated entity. As part of the sale of Pearlmark Mezz, the Company entered into an indemnification agreement whereby the Company indemnified the purchaser against realized losses of up to $4.3 million on the Kingsway mezzanine loan until the final maturity date in 2020. A reserve of $703,000 for probable losses was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Except as previously discussed, the Company is unaware of any contingencies arising from such routine litigation that would require accrual or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2017.

NOTE 21 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

In November 2016, the Company received approval from its board of directors to execute a strategic plan to focus its strategy on CRE debt investments. The Plan contemplates disposing of certain Legacy CRE loans and exiting underperforming non-core asset classes. Non-real estate businesses identified for sale were the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments as well as the Company's life settlement policy portfolio, or LCF. The Company reclassified the operating results of the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments as discontinued operations and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. In addition, the Company transferred the assets and liabilities of LCF and non-performing Legacy CRE loans to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016.

In June 2017, the Company sold its residential mortgage lending pipeline and certain other assets and liabilities, including trademarks, domain names, intellectual property and certain fixed assets. Additional consideration may be earned subject to a contractual earn out provision based on future loan production, which will be payable over an eighteen to twenty-two month period. The sale generated cash proceeds of $2.6 million, which included a nonrefundable earn out advance of $650,000. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, an additional nonrefundable earn out advance of $350,000 was recognized. The collective book value of the assets sold was $1.6 million. The Company retained residential mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights and cash balances.

(1)

Third party appraisals were obtained on six of the Legacy CRE whole loans and, as a result, specific provisions of $8.1 million were recorded prior to the loans being reclassified to held for sale status. Additional provisions in the amount of $7.7 million were recognized after the transfer of loans to held for sale to write down the loans to the lower of cost or fair value during the Company's fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016.


(2)	Includes a mezzanine loan with a par value of $38.1 million that was acquired at a fair value of zero as a result of the liquidation of RREF CDO 2006-1 in April 2016 and RREF 2007-1 in November 2016. The mezzanine loan is comprised of two tranches, with maturity dates of November 2018 and September 2021.


(3)	Includes a directly originated middle market loan with fair values of $1.8 million and $1.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. In May 2017 the loan experienced payment default. The loan's fair market value was supported by a third party valuation mark prepared as of September 30, 2017.


(4)	At December 31, 2016, the Company's middle market loans are in several industry categories including: healthcare, education and childcare - 24.4%, diversified/conglomerate service - 17.2%, insurance - 17.1%, cargo transport - 14.2%, beverage, food and tobacco - 12.5%, buildings and real estate - 9.8% and hotels, motels, inns and gaming - 4.8%, based on amortized cost.


(5)	The fair value option was elected for residential mortgage loans, held for sale.

(6)

The Company's residential mortgage loan portfolio is comprised of both agency loans and non-agency jumbo loans. The fair values of the agency loan portfolio are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as those values are determined based on quoted market prices for similar assets or upon other observable inputs. The fair values of the jumbo loan portfolio are generally classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as those values are generally based upon valuation techniques that utilize unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing those assets.


(7)	At December 31, 2016, approximately 39.2% of the Company's residential mortgage loans were originated in Georgia, 16.2% in California, 14.6% in Utah, 5.9% in Virginia and 5.9% in Florida, based on amortized cost.

In June 2014, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, RCC Resi Portfolio, RCC Resi TRS, and RCC Resi Depositor (the "Sellers") entered into a master repurchase and securities contract (the "2014 Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank. Over the course of five amendments to modify the terms, the most recent of which was entered into in September 2015, the maximum borrowing amount was reduced from the original $285.0 million to $30.0 million.

Residential Mortgage Financing Agreements

In February 2011, PCM entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "New Century Facility") with New Century Bank d/b/a Customer's Bank ("New Century") to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans. Over the course of ten amendments to modify the terms, the most recent of which was executed in August 2016, the maximum borrowing amount declined to $0. In December 2016, the Company elected to terminate the New Century Facility.

In July 2014, PCM entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "Wells Fargo Facility") with Wells Fargo to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans. The Wells Fargo Facility was executed with an original maximum amount of $100.0 million, an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus applicable margins of 3.00% for jumbo loans outstanding over 90 days, 2.50% for other jumbo loans and 2.38% for agency loans and a maturity date in July 2015. Over the course of nine amendments, the most recent of which was executed in October 2016, the maximum amount was modified to $150.0 million and the maturity date was modified to November 2017. The Wells Fargo Facility contains certain financial covenants and certain customary events of default and remedies for default. PCM paid off the remaining outstanding balance as of August 30, 2017 and terminated the facility at that time.

In November 2016, PCM entered into a repurchase agreement (the "First Tennessee Facility") with First Tennessee Bank to finance the origination and acquisition of residential mortgage loans. The First Tennessee Facility was executed with a maximum amount of $25.0 million, an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a 2.75% margin. The First Tennessee Facility contains certain financial covenants and certain customary events of default and remedies for default. PCM paid off the remaining outstanding balance as of August 30, 2017 and terminated the facility at that time.

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

Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying 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. Additionally, please see the sections "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" for a discussion of risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with those statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

We are a Maryland corporation and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial mortgage loans and commercial real estate ("CRE") related debt investments. We are externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., (our "Manager"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of C-III Capital Partners LLC ("C-III"), a leading CRE investment management and services company engaged in a broad range of activities. C-III is the beneficial owner of shares of our common stock (2.3% of our outstanding shares at September 30, 2017). Our Manager draws upon the management teams of C-III and its subsidiaries and its collective investment experience to provide its services. 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 strategies. Historically, we have made other residential real estate and commercial finance investments. 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 our investments, and we have sought to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.

We are organized and have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We also intend to operate our business in a manner that will permit us to remain excluded from registration as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

In November 2016, we received approval from our board of directors to execute a strategic plan (the "Plan") to focus our strategy on CRE debt investments. The Plan contemplates disposing of certain Legacy CRE loans (loans underwritten prior to 2010), exiting non-core businesses and investments, including residential real estate and commercial finance assets, collectively the "Identified Assets," and establishing a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings.

We began the process of disposing of several ancillary businesses and investments as part of the Plan during the fourth quarter of 2016. The anticipated dispositions include our residential mortgage origination operations and our middle market lending segment, which currently holds syndicated corporate loans and an impaired middle market direct origination loan. We moved these segments to discontinued operations and also moved our life settlement contract investment as well as several Legacy CRE loans to a held for sale classification in the fourth quarter of 2016 and recognized impairments to adjust the carrying value of these businesses and investments to their estimated fair market value. While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio, including those held for sale at September 30, 2017, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions. In addition, we expect to incur transaction related general and administrative costs as we dispose of these non-core businesses and investments.

From September 30, 2016 through September 30, 2017, we have monetized $324.9 million of the investments that were included the Plan, of which $128.3 million and $280.3 million were liquidated during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Proceeds from disposed assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 include $92.3 million from our Legacy CRE loan portfolio, $84.3 million in connection with the sale of LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. ("LCC"), $37.0 million from our commercial finance assets, $29.9 million from investments in unconsolidated entities, $18.1 million from our residential mortgage lending segment, $16.2 million from middle market loans and $2.5 million from other assets held for sale.

Assets of $149.1 million remain in the Plan as of September 30, 2017. We expect one legacy CRE loan to payoff, to sell the remaining commercial finance assets and to proceed with the liquidation of the remaining residential mortgage origination financial assets during the balance of 2017. We expect to reinvest the proceeds from the Plan into CRE debt investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we reinvested proceeds in commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") with a total face value of $115.0 million.

(Back to Index)

We generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive from our assets and the cost to finance our ownership of those assets, from management of assets and from hedging interest rate risks. Historically, we have generated revenues from the interest and fees earned on our CRE whole loans, CMBS, middle market loans, other asset-backed securities ("ABS") and structured note investments. We also generated revenues from fees received for the management of externally originated syndicated corporate loans, from our residential mortgage origination business and from our investment in an equipment leasing business. Because the Plan focuses our investment strategy on CRE activities, we expect to continue the shift away from these ancillary businesses, which will reduce and ultimately terminate the fee income we receive from them as we dispose of those investments.

We use 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. We historically have financed our CRE loan portfolio with repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source and securitizations and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources. We expect to continue to use these financing sources into the near term future. We use derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings, and to a lesser extent, to hedge the impact of changes in foreign currency spot rates on investments we make that are denominated in foreign currencies. We generally seek to minimize interest rate risk and foreign currency risk with a strategy that is expected to result in the least amount of volatility under general accepted accounting principles while still meeting our strategic economic objectives and maintaining adequate liquidity and flexibility. These hedging transactions may include interest rate swaps, collars, caps or floors, puts, calls, options and foreign currency exchange protection.

We typically target transitional floating-rate CRE loans between $20.0 million and $30.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we originated 16 loans with a total commitment of $371.3 million, of which $324.5 million was funded during the period. These loans were initially financed in part through our CRE term facilities, and we expect to finance them longer-term through CRE securitizations if market conditions permit us to do so at attractive financing terms. As a result of the dispositions contemplated by the Plan and the liquidity provided to date, coupled with available debt financing under our existing facilities of over $408.9 million at September 30, 2017, we intend to continue growing our CRE lending program, which will allow us to maintain a market presence and working relationships with our CRE borrowers.

As we continued to implement the Plan and moved to a CRE debt focused investment strategy, the allocation of our equity at September 30, 2017 was as follows: 80% in CRE assets; 12% in the residential mortgage lending business; and 8% in commercial finance assets. At December 31, 2016, our invested capital was allocated as follows: 74% in CRE assets; 14% in commercial finance assets; 6% in the residential mortgage lending business; and 6% in other investments.

Results of Operations

Our net income allocable to common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $12.6 million, or $0.41 per share-basic ($0.41 per share-diluted), and $17.8 million, or $0.58 per share-basic ($0.57 per share-diluted), respectively, as compared to net loss allocable to common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $51.6 million, or $(1.69) per share-basic ($(1.69) per share-diluted), and $43.4 million, or $(1.42) per share-basic ($(1.42) per share-diluted), respectively.

Aggregate interest income decreased by $3.1 million and $9.4 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. We attribute these changes to the following:

(Back to Index)

Interest Income from Loans

CRE whole loans. The decrease of $758,000 and $2.5 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, is primarily the result of a decrease in the weighted average CRE loans balance from loan payoffs, including the liquidation of RCC CRE Notes 2013 in December 2016 and RCC 2014-CRE2 in August 2017. This decrease was offset by an increase in the weighed average yields from an increase in the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and an increase in the contribution of exit and extension fees to interest income from loans for the comparative three and nine month periods.

Legacy CRE loans held for sale. The increase in interest income on Legacy CRE loans held for sale for both the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, is related to the decision to classify certain assets as assets held for sale in November 2016 in connection with the Plan.

Interest Income from Securities

ABS. The decrease of $3.3 million and $9.6 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, is primarily attributable to the 2016 liquidations of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 ("RREF CDO 2006-1"), Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1 ("RREF CDO 2007-1") and Apidos Cinco CDO. At liquidation, the remaining assets comprised of Legacy CRE loans and CMBS were distributed to us and, accordingly, the interest income from the underlying collateral is now reported in interest income from Legacy CRE loans held for sale and interest income from CMBS.

CMBS. The increase of $311,000 for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, is primarily due to the purchase of CMBS investments which has substantially increased the size of our portfolio. These bonds, on average, pay lower coupons than the average of our portfolio. The increase of $1.2 million for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, is primarily due to the acquisition of CMBS investments as a result of the liquidation of RREF CDO 2007-1 after June 30, 2016. We obtained these bonds at a discount which is being accreted over the expected life of the investments. These bonds, on average, pay higher coupons than the average of our portfolio. Additionally, we received $0 and $601,000 of interest income on a previously impaired security for the the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Interest Income - Other

Preference payments on structured notes. The decrease of $156,000 and $2.1 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, resulted primarily from the sale of our investments in the Harvest CLOs, which are euro-denominated CLO investments backed by syndicated bank loans.

Preference payments on trading securities. The decrease of $270,000 for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 is due to the sale of securities in our portfolio. The remaining securities in our trading portfolio are nearing the end of their deal lives and are not expected have significant cash flows prospectively. The increase of $205,000 for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 resulted from the receipt of $1.1 million of interest income in excess of our cost basis on a trading security in the first quarter of 2017.

Aggregate interest expense increased by $200,000 and $2.1 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. We attribute the change to the following:

(Back to Index)

CRE whole loans. The increase of $216,000 and $1.8 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, was related to an increase in the cost of funds, primarily due to an increase in the one-month LIBOR, despite a lower average balance. The lower balance is due to the liquidations of RCC CRE Notes 2013 in December 2016 and RCC 2014-CRE2 in August 2017, offset by the closing of RCC 2017-CRE5, as well as reduced expenses in our remaining securitizations as senior notes pay down.

CMBS. Interest expense on CMBS increased by $21,000 and $287,000 for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, due to the increased purchasing and the related leveraging of CMBS securities as we reinvest proceeds from the monetization of non-core businesses and assets in accordance with our articulated strategic plan.

Dividend income. Dividend income increased by $209,000 and $213,000 for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Dividend income typically represents the dividend income we earn on our investment in unsecured junior subordinated debentures, and is approximately $21,000 per quarter. However, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we reversed $207,000 of accrued dividend income that was believed to be uncollectible.

Fee income. Fee income decreased by $926,000 and $407,000 for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2017 was impacted by approximately $494,000 due to prior liquidation of our CLO management contracts held in Resource Capital Asset Management ("RCAM") and by approximately $432,000 due to the sale of three of our investments in the Harvest CLOs from which we had previously earned management fees. For the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease primarily relates to the sale of three of our investments in the Harvest CLOs from which we had previously earned management fees.

Management fees - related party. Management fees-related party increased by $1.9 million for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. We recorded an incentive management fee to our manager of $2.2 million, related primarily to a $41.1 million gain we recognized on the sale of LCC. This increase was offset by a decrease of $208,000 in our base management fee as a result of a reduction in our net equity from retirement of our common stock related to vested shares and net losses arising from the disposition of underperforming businesses and non-core asset classes in conjunction with the execution of the Plan. There was no significant change for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Equity compensation - related party. Equity compensation - related party decreased by $807,000 and $1.1 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in equity compensation expense is primarily attributable to the September 2016 accelerated vesting of restricted shares held by certain former executives in connection with Resource America, Inc's ("Resource America") merger with C-III, and a decrease in our stock price.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $829,000 and $820,000 for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Total general and administrative expenses	$	11,780	$	10,960	$	820		7	%

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to an increase in professional services due to the establishment of a general litigation reserve of $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017, offset by a decrease in wages and benefits due to net reduction in compensation expense that impacted both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $338,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The decrease was due to the remaining RCAM-managed CLOs being called in January 2016, October 2016 and February 2017, respectively, and, as a result, termination and acceleration of the amortization of the underlying intangible assets.

Impairment losses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized net impairment losses of $25.3 million primarily related to other-than-temporary impairment on Legacy CRE CDO investment securities available-for-sale. An impairment loss of $177,000 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 on our final RCAM CLO management contract intangible due to the related investment vehicle being called prior to its expected maturity.

CRE whole loans. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we refined our process for determining the general allowance for loan losses on our commercial real estate portfolio by aligning the level of our reserves more closely with the results our risk ratings process. As a result of this refinement, we recorded a recovery of $612,000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a provision for loan loss of $8.0 million related to two legacy CRE loans on which we had at the time received updated appraisals and made a determination that our cost basis in those two assets may not be recoverable. These assets were subsequently reclassified to assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with our Plan during our fourth quarter of 2016 and ultimately monetized during 2017.

Syndicated corporate loans. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was no provision recorded against our syndicated corporate loans. However, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded net recoveries of $435,000 and $358,000 resulting from the write-off of unsettled positions that remained at the time of liquidation, offset by the partial recovery of a provision previously taken on a liquidated syndicated corporate loan CLO.

Direct financing leases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a $270,000 provision against the value of our direct financing lease portfolio due to delinquent leases. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, there was no provision recorded against the value of our direct financing lease portfolio.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities increased by $40.0 million and $35.3 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. This increase in earnings over both comparative periods resulted from a realized gain of $41.1 million recognized on the sale of LCC in July 2017. The increase in earnings for the comparative three months ended was offset by decreases in earnings from disposals of assets and partial redemptions of our investments in unconsolidated entities. The increase in earnings for the comparative nine months ended was offset by decreases from a net loss of $345,000 on the disposition of our investment in Pearlmark Mezzanine Realty Partners IV, L.P. ("Pearlmark Mezz") and other decreases in earnings from disposals of assets and partial redemptions of our investments in unconsolidated entities.

Net realized and unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives. Net realized and unrealized loss on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives increased by $1.0 million for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. Net realized and unrealized gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives increased by $13.6 million for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. This decrease in earnings for the comparative three months ended was due to net realized losses of $1.5 million recognized on the sales of eight investment securities available-for sale, partially offset by increases in gains on the ineffectiveness of our foreign currency forward hedge contracts. The increase in earnings for the comparative nine months ended was due to realized gains of $12.5 million recognized on repayments in excess of carrying values of two legacy CRE loans and net realized gains of $1.8 million recognized on the sales of ten investment securities available-for-sale, partially offset by a realized loss of $606,000.

Net realized and unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities, trading. Net realized and unrealized loss on investment securities, trading decreased by $233,000 and increased by $1.1 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The fluctuations were due to variability in the fair value marks on the remaining investment securities, trading.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt of $10.4 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was realized upon extinguishment of $44.5 million of the 6.00% convertible senior notes due 2018 (the "6.00% Convertible Senior Notes") and $78.8 million of the 8.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the "8.00% Convertible Senior Notes").

Other (expense) income. Other expense increased by $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a reserve of $703,000 pertaining to the Pearlmark Mezz indemnification. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we received a consent fee of $1.5 million from Resource America at the closing of the C-III merger.

Net Loss From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

In November 2016, the board of directors approved the Plan that would allow us to focus on making CRE debt investments and exiting non-core assets, disposing of certain underperforming Legacy CRE debt investments and establishing a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings. Non-CRE businesses identified for sale were the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments as well as Life Care Funding ("LCF"). We met all of the criteria to classify the operating results of the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments as discontinued operations and exclude them from continuing operations for all periods presented. In addition, we transferred the assets and liabilities of LCF and Legacy CRE loans to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The following table summarizes the operating results of the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments discontinued operations as reported separately as loss from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Net loss from discontinued operations. Net loss from discontinued operations decreased by $5.2 million and $1.7 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the middle market lending segment generated net income of approximately $976,000 and $2.7 million, respectively, from the remaining middle market syndicated loans. PCM recognized a net loss of approximately $7.1 million and $13.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. In June 2017, PCM sold its residential mortgage operating platform and certain other assets and liabilities. The losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are primarily attributable to increased staffing and personnel costs pertaining to the winding down of the operations and write down on assets held for sale.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the middle market lending segment recognized a net loss of $8.4 million and $9.8 million primarily from loss on the sale of our interest in Northport TRS, LLC and provision for loan losses recognized offset interest and fees earned on our middle market loans earned during that period. PCM recognized net losses of approximately $3.7 million and $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. These losses were primarily attributable to a $5.6 million of temporary impairment on its mortgage servicing rights portfolio based on third party valuations.

Financial Condition

Summary.

Our total assets were $1.9 billion at September 30, 2017 as compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2016. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to the repayment of two Legacy CRE loans previously classified as held for sale, a partial redemption of one of our non-core limited partnership investments and the disposition of a limited partnership investment, both classified on our consolidated balance sheets as investments in unconsolidated entities, the sale of seven non-core investment securities available-for-sale, the sale of our residential mortgage lending pipeline, offset by acquisitions of 10 CMBS positions and the sale of an investment in an unconsolidated entity that returned proceeds in excess of the carrying value of the investment.

Credit quality indicators

Commercial Real Estate Loans

CRE loans are collateralized by a diversified mix of real estate properties and are assessed for credit quality based on the collective evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: collateral performance relative to underwritten plan, current implied and/or reunderwritten LTV, loan structure, and the loan's exit plan. Depending on the loan's performance against these various factors, loans are rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with loans rated 1 representing loans with the highest credit quality and loans rated 5 representing loans with lowest credit quality. The factors evaluated provide general criteria to monitor credit migration in our loan portfolio, as such, a loan's rating may improve or worsen, depending on new information received




Risk Rating		Risk Characteristics

1		• Property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations.
		• Occupancy is stabilized, the property has had a history of consistently high occupancy, and the property has a diverse and high quality tenant mix.

2		• Property performance is consistent with underwritten expectations and covenants and performance criteria are being met or exceeded.
		• Occupancy is stabilized, near stabilized or is on track with underwriting.

3		• Property performance lags behind underwritten expectations.
		• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has some rollover

4		• Property performance significantly lags behind underwritten expectations. Performance criteria and loan covenants have required occasional waivers.
		• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has a large amount of rollover.

5		• Property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectations. The loan is not in compliance with loan covenants and performance criteria and is in default. Sale proceeds would not be sufficient to pay off the loan at maturity.
		• The property has material vacancy and significant rollover of remaining tenants.
		• An updated appraisal is required.

CRE whole loans are evaluated for any credit deterioration by debt asset management and certain finance personnel on at least a quarterly basis. Loans are first individually evaluated for impairment; and to the extent no individual impairment is determined, a general reserve is established.

(1)	Pursuant to our strategic plan, certain Legacy CRE whole loans were moved to loans held for sale and included in assets held for sale carried at the lower of cost or fair value on our consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.


(2)	Includes one loan with a maturity date of May 2017 that is currently in default.


(3)	Includes one loan with a maturity date of November 2017 that entered into technical default in November 2017.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had one CRE whole loan with a credit quality rating of 5 under the our current rating methodology and 4 under the our previous rating methodology, respectively, due to short term vacancy/tenant concerns and a past due maturity of February 2017. The loan is collateralized by a retail shopping center in Roswell, GA and had an amortized cost of $7.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. For the period ended December 31, 2016, we obtained an appraisal and used the value indicated in the appraisal as a practical expedient in determining the fair value of the loan. The appraisal indicated a fair value of $4.5 million and we recorded a specific provision of $2.5 million on the loan during the fourth quarter of 2016. No additional provision was recorded on the loan for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017. This loan is in default at September 30, 2017.

At December 31, 2016, we had eight Legacy CRE whole loans and one mezzanine loan included in assets held for sale with a total carrying value of $158.2 million. Appraisals, as a practical expedient for fair value, were obtained for all eight Legacy CRE loans classified as assets held for sale. The mezzanine loan had a fair value of $0. We recorded, and subsequently charged off upon transfer of the loans to assets held for sale, specific reserves on four of the five loans transferred to assets held for sale totaling $15.8 million, where the carrying values of the loans exceeded their fair values. These five loans had a collective carrying value of $110.7 million at December 31, 2016 and were comprised of the following:

•

Two CRE loans cross-collateralized by a hotel in Studio City, CA, with an initial par value of $67.5 million. These loans were written down to their collective appraised value of $61.4 million. The loans had a maturity date of February 2017. On June 30, 2017, the borrower sold the collateral underlying these loans. Proceeds of $67.0 million are included in principal receivable at September 30, 2017 and was received in July 2017. As a result of this transaction, we realized a gain of $5.6 million included in our consolidated statements of operations as net realized and unrealized gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2017;

•

One CRE loan collateralized by a hotel in Tucson, AZ with an initial par value of $32.5 million. This loan was written down to its appraised value of $14.3 million. On February 28, 2017, we entered into a discounted payoff agreement with the borrower and received proceeds of $21.3 million in satisfaction of this loan. This transaction resulted in the recognition of a realized gain of $7.0 million in our consolidated statements of operations as net realized and unrealized gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives;


•	One CRE loan collateralized by an office property in Phoenix, AZ with an initial par value of $17.7 million. This loan was written down to its appraised value of $11.0 million. The loan had a maturity date of May 2017 and is currently in default;


•	One CRE loan collateralized by a hotel in Palm Springs, CA with an initial par value of $29.5 million. This loan was written down to its appraised value of $24.0 million.

As a result of the repayments of CRE loans held for sale discussed above on the Studio City, CA and Tucson, AZ properties, two of the five aforementioned Legacy CRE loans remain at September 30, 2017 and have a collective carrying value of $35.0 million.

At September 30, 2017, 50%, 36% and 14% of our Legacy CRE whole loans were concentrated in hotel, retail and office, respectively, based on carrying value. Of these loans, 86% are within the Pacific region and 14% are within the Mountain region, as defined by NCREIF. At December 31, 2016, 54%, 39% and 7% of our Legacy CRE whole loans were concentrated in hotel, retail and office, respectively, based on carrying value. Of these loans, 84% are within the Pacific region and 16% are within the Mountain region.

Three CRE loans held for sale with a collective carrying value of $44.6 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 had fair values in excess of their carrying values. Before being transferred to assets held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016, these loans were risked-rated in category 1 or category 2 (under our previous rating methodology).

All of our CRE whole loans were current with respect to contractual principal and interest except one defaulted CRE whole loan collateralized by a retail shopping center in Roswell, GA that had a carrying value of $4.5 million at September 30, 2017 and one defaulted Legacy CRE loan, classified as an asset held for sale, collateralized by an office property in Phoenix, AZ that had a carrying value of $11.0 million at September 30, 2017.

Two of our Legacy CRE whole loans cross-collateralized by a property in Studio City, CA with a collective carrying value, which was the lower of its cost or fair market value, of $61.4 million were in default at December 31, 2016.

Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we had one CRE whole loan with a maturity date of November 5, 2017, collateralized by a hotel property in Miami Beach, FL, that fell into technical default. The loan had an amortized cost of $52.0 million and was risk rated a 4 at September 30, 2017.

Direct Financing Leases

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a provision for lease losses against the value of our direct financing leases in the amount of $0 and $270,000, respectively. We held $167,000 and $527,000 of direct financing leases, net of reserves, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Restricted Cash

At September 30, 2017, we had restricted cash of $14.5 million, which consisted of $12.9 million of restricted cash held by six securitizations, $1.6 million held as margin and $25,000 held in various reserve accounts. At December 31, 2016, we had restricted cash of $3.4 million, which consisted of $3.3 million of restricted cash in our seven securitizations, $20,000 held as margin and $71,000 held in various reserve accounts. The increase of $11.1 million is primarily related to the close of a new CRE securitization and an increase due to initial margin requirements under Dodd-Frank protocols on interest rate swaps.

Interest Receivable

The following table summarizes our interest receivable as of the periods indicated (in thousands):



	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		Net Change
Interest receivable from loans	$	6,058	$	5,685	$	373
Interest receivable from securities	604		712		(108		)
Interest receivable from escrow and sweep accounts	17		7		10
Total	$	6,679	$	6,404	$	275

The $373,000 increase in interest receivable from loans is primarily attributable to new loan production offset by loan payoffs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The $108,000 decrease in interest receivable from securities is attributable to multiple factors, including the sale seven ABS securities and from paydowns on CMBS, partially offset by the purchase of new CMBS.

Other Assets

The following table summarizes our other assets as of the periods indicated (in thousands):



	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		Net Change
Other receivables	$	1,303	$	9,642	$	(8,339	)
Tax receivables and prepaid taxes	4,044		3,508		536

Other	677		901		(224		)
Total	$	8,436	$	14,673	$	(6,237	)

Other assets decreased by $6.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At December 31, 2016, we had a receivable of $9.4 million from the sale of our investment in ZAIS, all of which was received in January 2017. At September 30, 2017, we had a receivable of $959,000 from the unsettled sale of one investment security available for sale, which constitutes the majority of our other receivables balance. The tax receivable and prepaid taxes increased by $536,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the timing of the payment of taxes. Management fees receivable increased by $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was due to the recognition of projected collateral management fee rebate cash flows for $2.2 million, triggered by the sale of our investments in the Harvest CLOs.

Deferred Tax Assets

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we established a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset of approximately $17.0 million (tax effected $4.5 million) as we believed it was more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. This assessment was based on our cumulative historical losses and uncertainties as to the amount of taxable income that would be generated in future years. In recognition of this risk, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2017. We will continue to evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry back years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies.

Core and Non-Core Asset Classes

Our investment strategy targets the following core asset class:



CRE/Core Asset Class	Principal Investments

Commercial real estate-related assets	Ÿ	First mortgage loans, which we refer to as whole loans;
	Ÿ	First priority interests in first mortgage loans, which we refer to as A notes;
	Ÿ	Subordinated interests in first mortgage loans, which we refer to as B notes;
	Ÿ	Mezzanine debt that is senior to the borrower's equity position but subordinated to other third-party debt; and
	Ÿ	Commercial mortgage-backed securities, which we refer to as CMBS.

In November 2016, we received approval from our board of directors to execute a strategic plan, or the Plan, to focus our strategy on CRE debt investments. The Plan contemplates disposing of certain legacy CRE debt investments, exiting underperforming non-core asset classes and establishing a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings. Legacy CRE loans are loans originated prior to 2010. The non-core asset classes in which we have historically invested are described below:

Non-Core Asset Classes
Residential real estate-related assets	Ÿ	Residential mortgage loans; and
		Residential mortgage-backed securities, which we refer to as RMBS, which comprise our available for sale portfolio.

Commercial finance assets	Ÿ	Middle-market secured corporate loans and preferred equity investments; and
	Ÿ	Asset-backed securities, which we refer to as ABS, backed by senior secured corporate loans;
	Ÿ	Debt tranches of collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations, which we refer to as CDOs and CLOs, respectively, and sometimes, collectively, as CDOs;
	Ÿ	Structured note investments, which comprise our trading securities portfolio;
	Ÿ	Syndicated corporate loans; and
	Ÿ	Preferred equity investment in a commercial leasing enterprise that originates and holds small- and middle-ticket commercial direct financing leases and notes.

Short-Term Repurchase Agreements - CMBS

In August 2017, RCC Real Estate entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with RBC Capital Markets, LLC (the "RBC Securities Agreement") to finance the purchase of CMBS. We had $71.3 million and $0 outstanding under the RBC Securities Agreement at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Trust Certificates - Term Repurchase Facility

In September 2017, RCC Real Estate entered into a repurchase and securities agreement (the "Term Repurchase Trust Facility 2017") with RSO Repo SPE Trust 2017, a structure that provides financing under a structured sale of trust certificates to qualified institutional buyers through an offering led by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The Term Repurchase Trust Facility 2017 sold trust certificates of $49.9 million with an initial three year term that expires in September 2020, and an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 3.95%. We have the ability to call the Term Repurchase Trust Facility 2017 at any time and in so doing would be subject to an early repurchase fee until the payment date in March 2019, after which it is freely prepayable.

Securitizations

At September 30, 2017, we retain equity in six of the securitizations we had executed.

(Back to Index)

In July 2017, we closed RCC 2017-CRE5, a $376.7 million CRE securitization transaction that provided financing for transitional commercial real estate loans. RCC 2017-CRE5 issued a total of $251.4 million of senior notes at par to unrelated investors. RCC Real Estate purchased 100% of the Class C notes for $49.9 million. In addition, Resource Real Estate Funding 2017-CRE5 Investor, LLC, a subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased a $75.3 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At September 30, 2017, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average rate of 2.26%. There is no reinvestment period in RCC 2017-CRE5; however, principal repayments, for a period ending in July 2020, may be used to purchase funding participations with respect to existing collateral held outside of the securitizations.

Corporate Debt

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2017, we issued $143.8 million aggregate principal of our 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2022 (the "4.50% Convertible Senior Notes"). The gross proceeds were utilized to pay $3.9 million in debt issuance costs and to extinguish a portion of our 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes and 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes, resulting in the receipt of net proceeds of $13.5 million. In addition, we recorded a discount of $14.2 million (the offset of which was recorded in additional paid-in capital) on the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes that reflects the difference between the stated value of the debt and the fair value of the notes as if they were issued without a conversion feature. The market discounts and the deferred debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations on an effective interest basis over the period ended on February 15, 2022. Interest on the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes is paid semi-annually.

The 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at a current conversion rate of 78.2473 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $12.78 per common share). Upon conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, a holder will receive cash, our common shares or a combination of cash and our common shares, at our election.

6.00% Convertible Senior Notes

We extinguished $44.5 million aggregate principal of our 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes in conjunction with the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $70.5 million and $115.0 million aggregate principal of 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes were outstanding.

8.00% Convertible Senior Notes

We extinguished $78.8 million aggregate principal of our 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes in conjunction with the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $21.2 million and $100.0 million aggregate principal of 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes were outstanding.

Hedging Instruments

A significant market risk to us 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 our 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 our interest-earning assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets. A decline in the value of our 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. We seek to mitigate the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime coupon adjustment restrictions in our investment portfolio by entering into interest rate hedging agreements. We classify these hedges as cash flow hedges, which are hedges that eliminate the risk of changes in the cash flows of a financial asset or liability. We record changes in fair value of derivatives designated and effective as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and record changes in fair value of derivatives designated and ineffective as cash flow hedges in earnings.

We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another. However, substantially all of our revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars. To address this market risk, we generally hedge our foreign currency-denominated exposures (typically investments in debt instruments, including forecasted principal and interest payments) with foreign currency forward contracts. We classify these hedges as fair value hedges, which are hedges that mitigate the risk of changes in the fair values of assets, liabilities, and certain types of firm commitments. We record changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and effective as fair value hedges in earnings offset by corresponding changes in the fair

(Back to Index)

values of the hedged items. As we continue to further implement the strategic plan, as outlined in the "Overview" section, we will reduce and eventually eliminate for the foreseeable future our foreign currency exchange risk.

The following tables present the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on our consolidated balance sheets and on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:

Equity

Total equity at September 30, 2017 was $730.7 million and gave effect to $210,000 of unrealized gains on our cash flow hedges and $1.3 million, after tax, of net unrealized gains on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Equity at December 31, 2016 was $703.1 million and gave effect to $18,000 of unrealized losses on our cash flow hedges and $3.1 million of net unrealized gains on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The increase in equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to an increase in net income, the discount, net of repurchase and offering costs, recognized on the issuance of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, offset by distributions to preferred and common stock.

	Amount			Per Share
Common stock book value at December 31, 2016⁽¹⁾	$	434,211		$	14.17
Net income allocable to common shares	17,808			0.57
Change in other comprehensive income:
Available-for-sale securities	(1,825		)	(0.06		)
Derivatives	228			0.01
Common stock dividends	(4,618		)	(0.15		)
Common stock dividends on unvested shares	(83		)	—
Accretion (dilution) from additional shares issued during the period	2,606			(0.02		)
Non-cash GAAP discount on the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes issuance	14,231			0.46
Repurchase of conversion option on extinguished convertible notes	(194		)	(0.01		)
4.50% Convertible Senior Notes offering costs	(385		)	(0.01		)
Purchase of non-controlling interest	(1,410		)	(0.05		)
Total net increase	26,358			0.74
Common stock book value at September 30, 2017^{(1) (2)}	$	460,569		$	14.91


(1)	Per share calculations exclude unvested restricted stock, as disclosed on our consolidated balance sheets, of 502,539 shares and 400,050 shares at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The denominator for the calculation is 30,881,351 and 30,649,970 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.


(2)	Book value allocable to common shares is calculated as total stockholders' equity of $730.7 million less preferred stock equity of $270.1 million at September 30, 2017.

Book value includes $14.9 million of total discount resulting from the value of the conversion option on our convertible senior notes, of which $13.9 million relates to the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes in August 2017. The convertible senior notes' discounts will be amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of each note issuance. At September 30, 2017, book value excluding this item would be $445.6 million, which equates to $14.43 per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core Earnings

Beginning with the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, we use Core Earnings as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that the measures presented in this Form 10-Q, when considered together with GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors as viewed by us. We previously used Adjusted Funds from Operations as a non-GAAP measure of operating performance.

Core Earnings exclude the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not indicative of our current CRE loan portfolio and other CRE related investments and operations. Core Earnings exclude income (loss) from all non-core assets, such as Commercial Finance, Middle Market Lending, Residential Mortgage Lending, Legacy CRE loans and other non-CRE assets designated as assets held for sale at the initial measurement date.⁽¹⁾

Core Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) incentive fees payable to our external manager, (iii) unrealized gains and losses, (iv) non-cash provisions for CRE loan losses, (v) non-cash impairments on securities, (vi) non-cash amortization of discounts or premiums associated with borrowings, (vii) net income or loss from a limited partnership interest owned at the initial measurement date, (viii) net income or loss from non-core assets,^{(2) (3)} (ix) real estate depreciation and amortization and (x) foreign currency gains or losses. Core Earnings may also be adjusted periodically to exclude certain one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items.

Core Earnings does not represent net income or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or as a measure of liquidity under GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Core Earnings may differ from methodologies used by other companies to calculate similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, our reported Core Earnings may not be comparable to similar performance measures used by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to pay dividends, fund investments, repay borrowings and other general business needs, including our management fee. Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs is subject to our ability to generate cash from operating activities and our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to below.

In November 2016, the board of directors approved the Plan, pursuant to which we are focused on making CRE debt investments going forward. The Plan includes disposing of certain non-core businesses and investments and underperforming Legacy CRE loans, as well as maintaining a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings. As part of the Plan, the Identified Assets were reclassified as discontinued operations ("Discops") and/or assets held for sale ("AHFS") during the fourth quarter of 2016. The following table delineates these disposable investments by business segment and details the current net book value of the businesses and investments included in the Plan (in millions):



	Identified Assets at Plan Inception		Impairments/ Adjustments on Non-Monetized Assets⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾			Impairments/ Adjustments on Monetized Assets ⁽¹⁾			Monetized through September 30, 2017			Net Book Value at September 30, 2017

(1)	Reflects adjustments as a result of the designation as AHFS or Discops, which occurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2016, except as noted in (2) below.


(2)	The impairment adjustment to middle market loans includes $5.4 million of fair value adjustments that occurred prior to the inception of the Plan.


(3)	Legacy CRE loans includes $118.2 million par value of loans at the inception of the Plan that were not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets until our investment in RREF CDO 2007-1 was liquidated on November 25, 2016.


(4)	Includes $4.5 million of cash and cash equivalents not classified as AHFS in the Residential Mortgage Lending segment at September 30, 2017.


(5)	Commercial Finance assets decreased by $2.3 million related to the reclassification of certain assets to other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our principal sources of liquidity were: (i) proceeds of $92.3 million from the sale and paydowns of Legacy CRE loans classified as assets held for sale, (ii) proceeds of $84.3 million in connection with the sale of LCC, an equity method investment, (iii) net proceeds of $49.4 million from the close of our 2017 trust certificate - term repurchase facility, (iv) net proceeds of $39.2 million from the close of a new CRE securitization, RCC 2017-CRE5, LLC, (v) proceeds of $38.9 million from repayments on our CRE loan portfolio, (vi) proceeds of $37.0 million from sales and paydowns on our commercial finance assets, (vii) proceeds of $25.6 million from the liquidation of our CRE securitization RCC 2014-CRE2, LLC, (viii) proceeds of $18.1 million from the sale of PCM's residential mortgage lending operating platform and certain other assets and liabilities, (ix) proceeds of $16.2 million from the sale of our equity interest in an investment in an unconsolidated entity, (x) proceeds of $16.2 million from the sales and paydowns of middle market loans classified as assets held for sale, (xi) proceeds of $13.6 million from our interest in Pelium Capital Partners, LP, an equity method investment and (xii) net proceeds of $8.2 million from the close of our 4.5% convertible senior note offering. These sources of liquidity substantially provided the $283.0 million of unrestricted cash we held at September 30, 2017. In addition, we have $80.7 million of capital available through a CMBS term facility to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities and $408.9 million from two CRE term facilities for the origination of CRE loans at September 30, 2017. Through September 30, 2017, we have monetized $324.9 million of the investments that were included in the Plan and expect to continue this disposition process during the remainder of 2017.

We utilize a variety of financing arrangements to finance certain assets. We generally utilize the following two types of financing arrangements:

1. Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements effectively allow us to borrow against loans and securities that we own. Under these agreements, we sell our loans and securities to a counterparty and agree to repurchase the same loans and securities from the counterparty at a price equal to the original sales price plus interest. The counterparty retains the sole discretion over both whether to purchase the loan and security from us and, subject to certain conditions, the market value of such loan or security for purposes of determining whether we are required to pay margin to the counterparty. Generally, if the lender determines (subject to certain conditions) that the market value of the collateral in a repurchase transaction has decreased by more than a defined minimum amount, we would be required to repay any amounts borrowed in excess of the product of (i) the revised market value multiplied by (ii) the applicable advance rate. During the term of a repurchase agreement, we receive the principal and interest on the related loans and securities and pay interest to the counterparty. As of September 30, 2017, we have various repurchase agreements, as described below.

2. Loan Sales, Syndications and Securitizations: We seek non‑recourse long‑term financing from loan sales, syndications and/or securitizations of our investments in CRE loans. The sales, syndications or securitizations generally involve a senior portion of our loan, but may involve the entire loan. Loan sales and syndications generally involve the sale of a senior note component or participation interest to a third party lender. Securitization generally involves transferring notes to a special purpose vehicle (or the issuing entity), which then issues one or more classes of non‑recourse notes pursuant to the terms of an indenture. The notes are secured by the pool of assets. In exchange for the transfer of assets to the issuing entity, we receive cash proceeds from the sale of non‑recourse notes. Sales, syndications or securitizations of our portfolio investments might magnify our exposure to losses on those portfolio investments because the retained subordinate interest in any particular overall loan would be subordinate to the loan components sold and we would, therefore, absorb all losses sustained with respect to the overall loan before the owners of the senior notes experience any losses with respect to the loan in question.

In February 2012, we entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, NA to finance the origination of CRE loans. The facility has a maximum capacity of $400.0 million and a maturity date of July 21, 2018, subject to three one-year extension rights which may extend the maturity to July 2021. During the first quarter of 2017, we amended certain financial covenants within the facility and we are in full compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we had $178.4 million of borrowings outstanding with Wells Fargo, NA secured by our CRE loans.

In September 2015, we entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with Morgan Stanley Bank, NA to finance the origination of CRE loans. The facility has a maximum capacity of $250.0 million and an initial three year term that expires in September 2018 with an annual one-year extension option through September 2019. During the first quarter of 2017, we amended certain financial covenants within the facility and we are in full compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we had $62.7 million of borrowings outstanding with Morgan Stanley Bank, NA secured by our CRE loans.

In February 2011, we entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, NA to finance the purchase of CMBS. The maximum amount of the facility is $100.0 million which we extended to March 31, 2018 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We may enter into interest rate swaps and cap agreements for securities whose average life exceeds two years to mitigate interest rate risk under the facility. During the first quarter of 2017, we amended certain financial covenants within the facility and we are in full compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we had $19.3 million of borrowings outstanding with Wells Fargo Bank, NA secured by our CMBS.

In November 2012, a subsidiary entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement (the "JP Morgan Securities Agreement") with JP Morgan Securities LLC to finance the purchase of CMBS. In April 2017, we entered into the first amendment of the JP Morgan Securities Agreement which amended the minimum shareholders' equity of the guarantor and maximum leverage ratio covenants. We had $5.9 million outstanding borrowings payable under the JP Morgan Securities Agreement at September 30, 2017.

In August 2017, a subsidiary entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with RBC Capital Markets, LLC (the "RBC Securities Agreement") to finance the purchase of CMBS. We had $71.3 million outstanding borrowings payable under the RBC Securities Agreement at September 30, 2017.

Historically, we have financed the acquisition of our investments through CDOs and securitizations that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments. We have in the past derived substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CDOs and securitizations which, if the CDOs and securitizations fail to meet certain tests, will cease. Through September 30, 2017, we did not experience difficulty in maintaining our existing CDO and securitization financing and passed all of the critical tests required by these financings. We have called or substantially liquidated each of our remaining legacy CRE and commercial finance CDOs during 2016, which removes the requirement for us to maintain these tests going forward.

The following table sets forth the distributions made by and coverage test summaries for our securitizations for the periods presented (in thousands):

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


(2)	Resource Capital Corp. 2014-CRE2 was liquidated in August 2017, and, as a result, all $93.0 million of the remaining assets were returned to us in exchange for our preference shares and equity notes in the securitization. We also received $25.6 million in principal on its preference share and equity notes.

(3)

Resource Capital Corp. 2015-CRE3 has no reinvestment period; however, until February 2017 principal repayments could be utilized to purchase loans held outside of the securitization that represent the funded commitments of existing collateral in the securitization that were not funded as of the date the securitization was closed. Additionally, the indenture does not contain any interest coverage test provisions.

(4)

Resource Capital Corp. 2015-CRE4 has no reinvestment period; however, until September 2017 principal repayments could be utilized to purchase loans held outside of the securitization that represent the funded commitments of existing collateral in the securitization that were not funded as of the date the securitization was closed. Additionally, the indenture does not contain any interest coverage test provisions.

(5)

Resource Capital Corp. 2017-CRE5 has no reinvestment period; however, until July 2020 principal repayments may be utilized to purchase loans held outside of the securitization that represent the funded commitments of existing collateral in the securitization that were not funded as of the date the securitization was closed. Additionally, the indenture does not contain any interest coverage test provisions.


(6)	Apidos Cinco was substantially liquidated on November 16, 2016. As a result of the liquidation, we received $20.4 million of cash and consolidated the remaining assets.


(7)	RREF CDO 2006-1 was liquidated on April 25, 2016, and, as a result, all $65.7 million of the remaining assets, at fair value at the date of liquidation, were returned to us in exchange for our preference shares and equity notes in the securitization.


(8)	RREF CDO 2007-1 was liquidated on November 25, 2016, and, as a result, all $130.9 million of the remaining assets, at fair value at the date of liquidation, were returned to us in exchange for our preference shares and equity notes in the securitization.


(9)	Resource Capital Corp. CRE Notes 2013 was liquidated in December 2016, and, as a result, all $13.5 million of the remaining assets were returned to us in exchange for our preference shares and equity notes in the securitization. We also received $33.4 million in principal on its preference share and equity notes.


(10)	Moselle CLO S.A. was acquired on February 24, 2014, and the reinvestment period for this securitization expired prior to the acquisition. In the fourth quarter of 2014, Moselle CLO S.A. began liquidating and by January 2015 all of the assets were sold.

At October 31, 2017, our liquidity consisted of two primary sources:


•	unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $185.5 million; and


•	$192.6 million and $187.3 million available under two term financing facilities to finance originations of CRE loans and $85.6 million available under a term financing facility to finance purchases of CMBS.

Our leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of borrowings to stockholders' equity may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our leverage ratio was 1.6 times and 1.9 times, respectively. The leverage ratio decline was driven primarily by a reduction in borrowings in our existing CRE securitizations and a reduction of our liabilities held for sale combined with an increase in stockholders’ equity, which was primarily a result of net income earned year-to-date in 2017 in excess of distributions.

Distributions

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to minimize corporate-level income tax on our income, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our common stock and preferred stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its taxable income. Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our repurchase agreements and other debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make cash distributions, or we may make a portion of the required distribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities. This requirement can impact our liquidity and capital resources.

The following tables present dividends declared (on a per share basis) for the first, second and third quarters of 2017 and each of the quarters in 2016:

(1)	Contractual commitments on borrowings are presented net of deferred debt issuance costs and discounts.


(2)	Contractual commitments include $585,000 of interest expense accrued through September 30, 2017 on our repurchase facilities.


(3)	Contractual commitments do not include $32.2 million and $32.7 million of estimated interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036, respectively, on our trust preferred securities.


(4)	Contractual commitments do not include $32.0 million of interest expense payable through the maturity date of August 15, 2022 on our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes.


(5)	Contractual commitments do not include $5.0 million of interest expense payable through the maturity date of December 1, 2018 on our 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes.


(6)	Contractual commitments do not include $3.9 million of interest expense payable through the maturity date of January 15, 2020 on our 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes.

(7)

Unfunded commitments on our originated 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. At September 30, 2017, we had unfunded commitments on 36 CRE loans.


(8)	Calculated only for the next 12 months based on our calculated 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

General

At September 30, 2017, 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, at September 30, 2017, we had not guaranteed obligations of any unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Unfunded CRE Loan Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to borrowers whose loans are in our CRE loan portfolio to provide additional loan funding in the future. These commitments generally fall into two categories: (i) pre-approved capital improvement projects and (ii) new or additional construction costs. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments is subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting requirements and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial investments 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.

In May 2017, we received proceeds of $16.2 million from the sale of our equity interest in Pearlmark Mezz, an unconsolidated entity. As part of our sale of Pearlmark Mezz, we entered into an indemnification agreement whereby we indemnified the purchaser against realized losses of up to $4.3 million on the Kingsway mezzanine loan until the final maturity date in 2020. A reserve of $703,000 for probable losses was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

ITEM 3 .	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At September 30, 2017, the primary component of our market risk was interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.

Effect on Fair Value

A component of interest rate risk is the effect that 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.

Primarily, we 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. Generally, we 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 present, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 and a static portfolio (in thousands, except percentages):



	September 30, 2017
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
Interest-rate-sensitive investment securities:
Fair value	$	86,626		$	83,963		$	81,514
Change in fair value	$	2,663		$	—		$	(2,449	)
Change as a percent of fair value	3.17		%	—		%	(2.92		)%

Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(2,746	)	$	211		$	2,902
Change in fair value	$	(2,957	)	$	—		$	2,691
Change as a percent of fair value	(1,402		)%				1,276		%



	December 31, 2016
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
Interest-rate-sensitive investment securities:
Fair value	$	87,077		$	86,751		$	86,431
Change in fair value	$	326		$	—		$	(320	)
Change as a percent of fair value	0.38		%	—		%	(0.37		)%

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. We had no derivative instruments that hedged interest rate risk at December 31, 2016.

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 CRE 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 CRE 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 over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In September 2015, Daren Levin filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between March 2, 2015 and August 4, 2015 (the "Levin Complaint"). In November 2015, the Court appointed Douglas Drees as the lead plaintiff in the action, and ordered the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint. In February 2016, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that we and certain of our officers and directors materially misrepresented certain risks of its commercial loan portfolio and processes and controls for assessing the quality of its portfolio. Based on these allegations, the amended complaint asserted claims for violation of the securities laws and seeks a variety of relief, including unspecified monetary damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. On June 1, 2017, a second amended complaint was filed that added a new class of Series B and Series C preferred shareholders, but was otherwise substantially similar to the amended complaint. The parties are currently engaged in discovery and the plaintiff has filed a motion for class certification, which we have opposed. We believe the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intend to defend ourself vigorously.

Six separate shareholder derivative suits (the "New York State Actions") purporting to assert claims on behalf of us were filed in the Supreme Court of New York on the following dates: December 2015 (the "Reaves Complaint"), February 2017 (the "Caito Complaint"), March 2017 (the "Simpson Complaint"), March 2017 (the "Heckel Complaint"), May 2017 (the "Schwartz Complaint"), and August 2017 (the "Greff Complaint"). Plaintiffs in the Schwartz and Greff actions made demands on the board of directors before filing suit, but plaintiffs in the Reaves, Caito, Simpson, and Heckel actions did not. All of the shareholder derivative suits are substantially similar and allege that certain of our current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties, wasted corporate assets, and/or were unjustly enriched. Certain complaints assert additional claims against Resource Capital Manager (the "Manager") and Resource America, Inc. ("Resource America") for unjust enrichment based on allegations that the Manager received excessive management fees from us. In June 2017, the Court ordered the consolidation of the Reaves, Caito, Simpson and Heckel Complaints (collectively, the "New York State Demand Futile Actions") and stayed the New York State Demand Futile Actions in favor of the federal shareholder derivative litigation described below. Our time to respond to the Schwartz and Greff complaints is presently stayed by stipulation of the parties. We believe that the plaintiffs in each of the New York State Actions lack standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf and intend to seek the dismissal of any New York State Action as to which the stay is lifted.

Four separate shareholder derivative suits purporting to assert claims on behalf of us were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on the following dates by shareholders who declined to make a demand on the board prior to filing suit: January 2017 (the "Greenberg Complaint"), January 2017 (the "Canoles Complaint"), January 2017 (the "DeCaro Complaint") and April 2017, (the "Gehan Complaint"). In May 2017, the Court consolidated the Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro and Gehan Complaints as the "Federal Demand Futile Actions," and in July 2017, appointed lead counsel and directed that a consolidated complaint be filed. Following consolidation, the Canoles and Gehan plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their suits. The consolidated complaint in the Federal Demand Futile Actions, filed on August 21, 2017, alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. We believe that the plaintiffs in the Federal Demand Futile Actions lack standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf and moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint on that basis on October 20, 2017.

Three additional shareholder derivative suits purporting to assert claims on behalf of us were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on the following dates by shareholders who served demands on the board to bring litigation and allege that their demands were wrongfully refused: February 2017 (the "McKinney Complaint"), March 2017 (the "Sherek/Speigel Complaint") and April 2017 (the "Sebenoler Complaint"). In May 2017, the Court consolidated the McKinney, Sherek and Sebenoler Complaints as the "Federal Demand Refused Actions." A consolidated complaint was filed on June 30, 2017, alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. We believe the plaintiffs’ claims that their demands to bring litigation were wrongfully refused are without merit and that the plaintiffs lack standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf. We moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint in the Federal Demand Refused Actions on that basis on September 15, 2017.

In August 2017, Robert Canoles filed a shareholder derivative suit in Maryland Circuit Court against certain of our current and former officers and directors, as well as the Manager and Resource America (the "Canoles Complaint"). Mr. Canoles had previously filed his suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, but voluntarily dismissed that action after the Court declined to appoint his counsel as lead counsel in the Federal Demand Futile Actions. The Canoles complaint, as amended in October 2017, asserts a variety of claims, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and corporate waste, that are based on allegations substantially similar to those at issue in the Federal Demand Futile Actions. We believe that Canoles lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf and intend to seek the dismissal of the Canoles action on that basis unless it is first stayed in favor of the duplicative Federal Demand Futile Actions.

In September 2017, Michael Hafkey filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against certain of our former officers and directors and the Manager (the "Hafkey Complaint"). The complaint asserts a breach of fiduciary duty claim that is substantially similar to the claims at issue in the Federal Demand Refused Actions. Mr. Hafkey previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate this claim, which was ultimately denied. We believe that Hafkey’s claim that his demand to bring litigation was wrongfully refused is without merit and that Hafkey consequently lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf. We expect to file a motion to dismiss the Hafkey action on that basis unless it is first stayed in favor of, or transferred and consolidated with, the duplicative Federal Demand Futile Actions.

One of our subsidiaries is the subject of a lawsuit brought in 2014 by the purchaser of a hotel from such subsidiary. The complaint asserts breach of contract claims for non-payment of certain fees and expenses. We believe the complaint is without merit and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

At September 30, 2017, outstanding demands for indemnification, repurchase or make whole payments totaled approximately $11.7 million.

The most significant remaining demands against PCM are from Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. ("LBHI"), which filed suit against PCM and approximately 150 sellers on February 3, 2016 alleging breaches of representations and warranties made on loans sold to LBHI. The repurchase claims asserted by LBHI relate to loans sold to LBHI that were subsequently sold by LBHI to either FNMA or FHLMC. PCM has established a reserve for these asserted claims at September 30, 2017. PCM sold additional loans to LBHI that were subsequently securitized and sold as residential MBS (RMBS) by LBHI. Claims have been asserted by the RMBS investors against LBHI but no amounts have been paid by LBHI and no claims have been asserted by LBHI against PCM. No reserve has been established by PCM at September 30, 2017 for potential future claims related to loans sold to and securitized by LBHI. PCM intends to defend the actions vigorously.
