The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 5 RAIT INVESTMENT TRUST NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements contain all disclosures which are necessary to present fairly RAIT Investment Trust's (the "Company") consolidated financial position at June 30, 2004, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion of management are necessary in order to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 to conform to the presentation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION On March 31, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a proposed Statement, "Share-Based Payment an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and APB No. 95," that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Under the FASB's proposal, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options, would be treated the same as other forms of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the income statement. The expense of the award would generally be measured at fair value at the grant date. Current accounting guidance requires that the expense relating to so-called fixed plan employee stock options only be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements. The proposed Statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company is currently evaluating this proposed statement and its effects on its results of operations. The Company accounts for its stock option grants under the provisions of FASB No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, and measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, the standard permits entities to continue accounting for employee stock options and similar instruments under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." At June 30, 2004, the Company had a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for that plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Stock-based employee compensation costs are not reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation. 6 RAIT INVESTMENT TRUST NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED)

The Company granted options to purchase 0 and 18,250 common shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The Company granted options to purchase 0 and 24,850 common shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2004 and 2003, respectively: dividend yield of 8.3% and 9.6%; expected volatility of 19% and 17%; risk-free interest rate of 4.0% and 4.9% and expected lives of 8.8 and 9.5 years. The Company adopted a Phantom Share Plan for Non-Employee Trustees on January 29, 2004. On January 29, 2004, the Company granted 482 phantom shares to each of two non-employee Trustees, or 964 phantom shares in the aggregate. On March 24, 2004, the Company granted 173 phantom shares to each of five non-employee Trustees, or 865 phantom shares, in the aggregate. Under current accounting rules, grants under this Plan result in variable accounting, which results in continuing compensation expenses from the date of grant to the date the phantom shares are actually paid to the participant. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized $50,000 and $50,000, respectively, in compensation expenses relating to phantom shares issued under this plan. On July 20, 2004, the Company amended this Phantom Share Plan to expand the persons eligible to receive phantom shares to all Trustees and employees and renamed this Plan as the Phantom Share Plan. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to certain entities in which voting rights are not effective in identifying the investor with the controlling financial interest. An entity is subject to consolidation under FIN 46 if the investors either do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, are unable to direct the entity's activities, or are not exposed to the entity's losses or entitled to its residual returns. These entities are referred to as variable interest entities. Variable interest entities within the scope of FIN 46 will be required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entities' expected losses and/or receives a majority of the expected residual returns. In December 2003, the FASB revised FIN 46 ("FIN 46(R)"), delaying the effective date for certain entities created before February 1, 2003 and making other amendments to clarify the application of the guidance. FIN 46(R) is effective no later than the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 for entities created after January 31, 2003 and for entities created before February 1, 2003, no later than the end of the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. As required, the Company adopted the guidance of FIN 46(R) accordingly. In adopting FIN 46 and FIN 46(R), the Company has evaluated its various variable interests to determine whether they are in variable interest entities. These variable interests are primarily subordinated 7 RAIT INVESTMENT TRUST NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) financings in the form of mezzanine loans or preferred equity investments. The Company has identified 17 variable interests totaling $74.6 million that it holds as of June 30, 2004. For these variable interests, it was determined that the Company was not the primary beneficiary and such variable interest entities should not be consolidated in the Company's financial statements. REIT STATUS The Company qualifies and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1999. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income. NOTE 2 - CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include non-interest earning deposits and interest earning deposits. Cash paid for interest was $2.5 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Investments in real estate received in conjunction with the Company's disposition of certain investments in real estate totaled $0 and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, and $1.9 million and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Dividends declared during the six month periods ending June 30, 2004 and 2003, but not paid until July 2004 and 2003, were $13.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively. NOTE 3 - RESTRICTED CASH AND BORROWERS' ESCROWS Restricted cash and borrowers' escrows represent borrowers' funds held by the Company to fund certain expenditures or to be released at the Company's discretion upon the occurrence of certain pre-specified events, and to serve as additional collateral for borrowers' loans.

NOTE 7 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Resource America, Inc. ("Resource America) was the sponsor of the Company. Resource America had the right to nominate one person for election to the Board of Trustees of the Company until its ownership of the outstanding Common Shares fell below 5%, which occurred in June 2003. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Betsy Z. Cohen, is (i) the spouse of Edward E. Cohen, the Chairman of the Board of Resource America, and (ii) the parent of Jonathan Z. Cohen, the Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of Resource America. Jonathan Cohen is also the Vice-Chairman, a Trustee and the Secretary of the Company and served as Resource America's nominee to the Board of Trustees of the Company. The President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, Scott F. Schaeffer, was, until October 2002, a director of Resource America. In December 2003, the Company was paid $100,000 for facilitating an acquisition by an unrelated third party financial institution of a $10.0 million participation in a loan owned by Resource America. The Company had previously owned the participation from March 1999 until June 2002 and in order for another party to acquire it, the Company had to reacquire it and then sell it to them. The transaction was completed in January 2004, at which time the Company earned an additional $23,000 representing interest for the eight days the Company had funded the participation. The transaction was reviewed and approved by the Independent Trustees (as defined in the declaration of trust of the Company) of the Board of Trustees of the Company and determined not to create a conflict of interest. The Company anticipates that it will purchase and sell additional loans and lien interests in loans to and from Resource America, and participate with it in other transactions. Brandywine Construction & Management, Inc. ("Brandywine"), is an affiliate of the spouse of Betsy Z. Cohen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

NOTE 11 - DIVIDENDS In order to maintain its election to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses (such as depreciation), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends or, alternatively, may be required to borrow to make sufficient dividend payments. On March 23, 2004 the Board of Trustees of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.60 per common share payable on April 15, 2004 to shareholders of record on April 5, 2004. On June 10, 2004 the Board of Trustees of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.60 per common share payable on July 15, 2004 to shareholders of record on June 21, 2004. Total dividends declared by the Company on the common shares aggregated $13.9 million and $27.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. On March 18, 2004 the Board of Trustees of the Company declared a pro-rated cash dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares aggregating $150,000 for the period from March 19, 2004 (date of issuance) through March 31, 2004 payable on March 31, 2004 to shareholders of record on March 24, 2004. On April 27, 2004, the Board of Trustees of the Company declared a cash dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares for the three months ended June 30, 2004 aggregating $1.3 million payable on June 30, 2004 to holders of record on June 1, 2004. On July 27, 2004, the Board of Trustees of the Company declared a cash dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares for the three months ended September 30, 2004 aggregating $1.3 million payable on September 30, 2004 to holders of record on September 1, 2004. As of July 28, 2004, there are no dividend arrearages on the Series A Preferred Shares. Holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Trustees, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends at the rate of 7.75% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference, equivalent to a fixed annual rate of $1.9375 per share. Dividends are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day. Any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Shares for any partial dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as of the close of business on the first day of the calendar month in which the applicable dividend payment date falls or on another date designated by the Board of Trustees of the Company for the payment of dividends that is not more than 30 nor less than ten days prior to the dividend payment date. 15 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Board of Trustees and Shareholders RAIT Investment Trust We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of RAIT Investment Trust and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 21, 2004 (except for Note 16 as to which the date is February 23, 2004). We expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania July 30, 2004 16 ITEM 2.

We undertake no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. OVERVIEW We began investment operations in January 1998. We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, formed under Maryland law. We make investments in real estate primarily by making real estate loans, acquiring real estate loans and acquiring interests in real estate. Our principal business objective is to generate income for distribution to our shareholders from investments in real estate generating a combination of interest and fees on loans, rents and other income from our interests in real estate, and proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 we achieved significant growth in our revenues, net income and total assets as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. Our revenues grew 69.3% and 35.2% to $25.9 million and $48.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, from the corresponding periods in 2003, while our net income available to common shareholders increased 73.8% and 37.1% to $14.5 million and $28.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, from the corresponding periods in 2003. Total assets grew 36.9% to $661.7 million at June 30, 2004 from $483.2 million at June 30, 2003. We attribute this growth to the following principal factors: - our ability to generate an increasing number of attractive real estate investment opportunities in a national environment of low interest rates as well as to leverage our investments with debt financing in appropriate circumstances; and - our ability to obtain additional capital through offerings of both our common and preferred shares. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The principal sources of our liquidity and capital resources from our commencement in January 1998 through July 30, 2004 were our public offerings of common shares and 7.75% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred shares. After offering costs and underwriting discounts and commissions, these offerings have allowed us to obtain net offering proceeds of $477.2 million. We issued 2,760,000 Series A preferred shares in March and April 2004 for net proceeds of $66.6 million. Our Series A preferred shares accrue cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 7.75% per year of the $25.00 liquidation preference, equivalent to $1.9375 per year per share. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last calendar day of each March, June, September and December or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day. The Series A preferred shares have no maturity date and we are not required to redeem the Series A preferred shares at any time. We may not redeem the Series A preferred shares before March 19, 2009, except in limited circumstances relating to the ownership limitations necessary to preserve our tax qualification as a real estate investment trust. On or after March 19, 2009, we may, at our 17 option, redeem the Series A preferred shares, in whole or part, at any time and from time to time, for cash at $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date. In March 2003, we filed a shelf registration statement to allow us to sell any combination of our common or preferred shares, warrants for our preferred or common shares or one or more series of debt securities up to a total amount of $300.0 million, of which $122.9 million remains available. We also maintain liquidity through the lines of credit we have established with four different lending institutions, as described below: At June 30, 2004 and July 28, 2004, we had $30 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of availability under the first of our two $30.0 million lines of credit. This line of credit bears interest at either 30-day London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR, plus 2.5% or the prime rate as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal, at our election. The minimum interest rate is 4.0%. The current interest rate is 4.0%. Absent any renewal, the line of credit will terminate in October 2005 and any principal then outstanding must be repaid by October 2006. The lender has the right to declare any advance due and payable in full two years after the date of the advance. At both June 30, 2004 and July 28, 2004, we had $25.6 million of availability under the second of our $30.0 million lines of credit. During June 2004, we amended the terms of this line of credit to increase the maximum amount available to borrow from $20.0 million to $30.0 million. This line of credit bears interest at the prime rate as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal. The current interest rate is 4.25%. This line of credit has a current term running through April 2005 with annual one-year extension options at the lender's option and an 11-month non-renewal notice requirement. Approximately $64,000 of availability under this line of credit is reserved in the event we are required to make any payments under a letter of credit described in Note 8 to our financial statements, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. At both June 30, 2004 and July 28, 2004, we had $6.0 million of availability under our $25.0 million line of credit. This line of credit bears interest at either, at our election, (a) one, two or three month LIBOR, plus 2.25% or (b) a daily base rate equal to the higher of (i) the bank's announced prime rate plus 1% or (ii) the federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 2%. The current interest rate is 3.625%. Absent any renewal, this line of credit will terminate in February 2006 and any principal then outstanding must be repaid at that time. At both June 30, 2004 and July 28, 2004, we had $2.5 million of availability under our $10.0 million line of credit. This line of credit bears interest either at three month LIBOR plus 3.0% or at the prime rate as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal, at our election. The current interest rate is 4.6%. Absent any renewal, this line will terminate in July 2005 and any principal then outstanding must be repaid by July 2009. Our other sources of liquidity and capital resources include principal payments on, refinancings of, and sales of senior participations in loans in our portfolio as well as refinancings and the proceeds of sales and other dispositions of our interests in real estate. These resources aggregated $35.8 million and $88.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, and $71.8 million and $90.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. We also receive funds from a combination of interest and fees on our loans, rents and income from our interests in real estate, gains on sales of loans and interests in real estate and consulting fees. As required by the Internal Revenue Code, we use this income, to the extent of not less than 90% of our taxable income, to pay distributions to our common shareholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we declared dividends on our common shares of $13.9 million and $27.9 million, respectively, of which $13.8 million and $27.7 million, respectively, was in cash and $85,200 and $169,900, respectively, was in additional common shares issued through our dividend reinvestment plan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, we declared dividends on our common shares of $12.9 million and $25.8 million, respectively, of which $13.8 million and $12.8 million, respectively, was in cash and $84,700 and $64,200, respectively, was in additional common shares issued through our dividend reinvestment plan. 18 We use our capital resources principally for originating and purchasing loans and acquiring interests in real estate. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, we originated or purchased ten loans and 18 loans in the aggregate amount of $78.9 million and $159.2 million, respectively, as compared to eight loans and thirteen loans in the aggregate amount of $74.8 million and $115.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we acquired one interest and two interests in real estate totaling $6.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, as compared to two and three interests in real estate in the aggregate amount of $10.5 million and $11.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. At June 30, 2004, we had approximately $51.2 million of cash on hand. These funds, combined with $6.9 million of net proceeds from the exercise in July 2004 of the over allotment option relating to our public offering of common shares, and $15.0 million drawn on one of our two $30.0 million lines of credit, provided for $60.2 million of new loan originations from July 1 through July 28, 2004. We also used our cash on hand to pay our $13.9 million second quarter dividend on our common shares. We anticipate utilizing the loan repayments of $24.4 million that we received from July 1 through July 28, 2004, combined with the $49.1 million of availability on our lines of credit, primarily for the origination of additional investments in the balance of the third quarter of 2004. We believe that our existing sources of funds will be adequate for purposes of meeting our liquidity and capital needs. We do not currently experience material difficulties in maintaining and accessing these resources. However, we could encounter difficulties in the future, depending upon the development of conditions in the credit markets and the other risks and uncertainties described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Registration Statement No. 333-103618 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. We may also seek to develop other sources of capital, including, without limitation, long-term borrowings, offerings of our warrants, issuances of our debt securities and the securitization and sale of pools of our loans. Our ability to meet our long-term, that is, beyond one year, liquidity and capital resources requirements is subject to obtaining additional debt and equity financing. Any decision by our lenders and investors to enter into such transactions with us will depend upon a number of factors, such as our financial performance, compliance with the terms of our existing credit arrangements, industry or market trends, the general availability of and rates applicable to financing transactions, such lenders' and investors' resources and policies concerning the terms under which they make such capital commitments and the relative attractiveness of alternative investment or lending opportunities. Our financial performance and the value of our securities are subject to a number of risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Registration Statement No. 333-103618 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, as a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income, which limits the amount of cash from operations we can retain to fund our capital needs. The following schedule summarizes our currently anticipated contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2004:

(1) Indebtedness secured by real estate consists of our non-recourse senior indebtedness relating to loans and long term debt secured by real estate underlying our investments in real estate. 19 OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Refer to Note 8 to our financial statements, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not believe these arrangements have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, there were no material changes to these policies, except for the updates described below. FIN 46. In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46, or FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to certain entities in which voting rights are not effective in identifying the investor with the controlling financial interest. An entity is subject to consolidation under FIN 46 if the investors either do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, are unable to direct the entity's activities, or are not exposed to the entity's losses or entitled to its residual returns. These entities are referred to as variable interest entities. Variable interest entities within the scope of FIN 46 will be required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entities' expected losses and/or receives a majority of the expected residual returns. In December 2003, the FASB revised FIN 46, or FIN 46(R), delaying the effective date for certain entities created before February 1, 2003 and making other amendments to clarify the application of the guidance. FIN 46(R) is effective no later than the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 for entities created after January 31, 2003 and for entities created before February 1, 2003, no later than the end of the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. We have adopted the guidance of FIN 46(R) accordingly. In adopting FIN 46 and FIN 46(R), we have evaluated our various variable interests to determine whether they are in variable interest entities. These variable interests are primarily subordinated financings in the form of mezzanine loans or preferred equity investments. We have identified 21 variable interests totaling $102.9 million that we hold as of June 30, 2004. For these variable interests we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary and such variable interest entities should not be consolidated in our financial statements. Allowance for Loan Losses. We have a reserve for loan losses of $226,000. This reserve is a general reserve and is not related to any individual loan or to an anticipated loss. In accordance with our policy, we determined that this reserve was adequate as of June 30, 2004 based upon our credit analysis of each of the loans in our portfolio. If that analysis were to change, we may be required to increase our reserve, and such an increase, depending upon the particular circumstances, could be substantial. Any increase in reserves will constitute a charge against income. We will continue to analyze the adequacy of this reserve on a quarterly basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the loans in our portfolio performed in accordance with their terms and were current as to payments. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Interest Income. Our interest income was $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The $6.6 million increase was primarily due to an additional $10.1 million of interest accruing in the three months ended June 30, 2004 on 36 loans totaling $291.5 million originated between April 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004, partially offset by a $3.2 million reduction of interest due to the repayment of 18 loans totaling $120.2 million during the same period. 20 Included in the additional $10.1 million in interest income discussed above is $3.7 million of accretable yield relating to the purchase, in June 2003, of a loan with a face value in excess of $40.0 million, secured by a property with an appraised value also in excess of $40.0 million, for a cost of approximately $26.8 million. Certain of our loans have expected future cash flows in excess of the scheduled, contractual interest and principal payments reflected in the loan documents. We recognize this excess, or "accretable yield" over the remaining life of the loan, such that the return yielded by the loan remains at a constant level for its remaining life. The loan matures in September 2004, thus the large accretable yield must be recognized over the 15-month period between loan purchase and loan maturity. Our interest income was $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The $11.5 million increase was primarily due to an additional $18.5 million of interest accruing in the six months ended June 30, 2004 on 39 loans totaling $293.6 million that were purchased or originated between January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004, partially offset by a $7.0 million reduction of interest due to the repayment of 27 loans during the same period totaling $176.9 million. Included in the additional $18.5 million in interest income discussed above is $7.7 million of accretable yield relating to the loan purchased in June 2003 that we discussed in relation to the increase in interest income from the quarter ended June 30, 2003 to the corresponding period in 2004. Rental Income. Our rental income increased $1.2 million and $400,000 to $6.6 million and $12.7 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2004, respectively, from the corresponding periods in 2003. The most significant portion of the increases resulted from our acquisition of a retail property in July 2003. However, for the six month periods ending June 30, 2004 and 2003, the positive effect of this acquisition was partially offset by the sale of a multi-family property in March 2003. Fee Income and Other. We earned fee and other income of $579,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $943,000 earned in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Included in fee and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were revenues of $413,000 and $909,000, respectively, from RAIT Capital Corp. We earned fee and other income of $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Included in fee and other income for the six months ending June 30, 2004 and 2003 were revenues of $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, from RAIT Capital Corp. Also included in fee and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were consulting fees of $1.4 million while there were no consulting fees earned in the first six months of 2003. Fee and other income is usually negotiated on a transaction by transaction basis and, as a result, the sources and amounts for any particular period are not generally indicative of future sources and amounts. Investment Income. We received investment income of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $449,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. We derive our investment income from three primary sources: - return on unconsolidated investments in real estate - appreciation interests in the cash flow, assets or both, underlying our loans, and - interest earned on cash held in bank accounts. Approximately $616,000 of the $675,000 increase in investment income from the three months ended June 30, 2003 to the three months ended June 30, 2004 related to our six unconsolidated investments in real estate generating $978,000 of investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to four unconsolidated investments in real estate generating $361,000 of investment income during the three months ended June 30, 2003. Cash held in bank accounts generated investment income of $134,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $74,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Most of this investment income was generated from our bank accounts with The Bancorp Bank. Our relationship with The Bancorp Bank is described in Note 7 to our financial statements, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. 21 We received investment income of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease of $850,000 in investment income from the six months ended June 30, 2003 to the corresponding period in 2004 was primarily due to the recognition in 2003 of $1.1 million relating to our appreciation interests. Except as described below in "Gain on Sale of Property Interest", we did not recognize any income relating to our appreciation interests in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in investment income relating to our appreciation interests was partially offset by an increase of $167,000 related to our seven unconsolidated investments in real estate generating $1.7 million of investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to five unconsolidated investments in real estate generating $1.5 million of investment income during the six months ended June 30, 2003. Gain On Sale of Property Interest. In June 2004 we recognized $2.4 million relating to our appreciation interest in one of our investments. Because we had a controlling interest in the entity that owned the real estate, we accounted for our equity interest on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, when our appreciation interest was realized (with the economic intent of generating additional interest income), the generally accepted accounting policy was to recognize this income as gain on sale of property interest. As of June 30, 2004 we restructured this investment into a mezzanine loan, and are no longer accounting for it on a consolidated basis. In March 2003, we sold a 40% limited partnership interest and sole general partnership interest in a limited partnership that owns a property to an unrelated party. We retained an 11% limited partnership interest. The partnership interests we sold had a negative book value of $1.4 million. The buyer paid $900,000 and we recognized a gain of $2.3 million. Interest Expense. Interest expense was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The $901,000 increase was attributable to two items: - $473,000 increase due to an average outstanding balance of $43.0 million on our lines of credit during the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to an average outstanding balance of $21.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003. - $352,000 increase due to an additional $39.3 million of senior indebtedness relating to loans booked between April 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004. Interest expense was $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The $1.1 million increase was attributable to two items: - $627,000 increase due to an average outstanding balance of $36.5 million on our lines of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to an average outstanding balance of $24.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003. - $471,000 net increase due to an additional $27.6 million net of senior indebtedness relating to loans booked between January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004. Interest expense consists of interest payments made on senior indebtedness on properties underlying our loans and interests in real estate, and interest payments made on our lines of credit. Property Operating Expenses; Depreciation and Amortization. Property operating expenses were $3.4 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, compared to $2.8 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Depreciation and amortization was $915,000 and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $827,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The slight increases in property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization from the three months ended June 30, 2003 to the three months ended June 30, 2004 were due to the acquisition of a retail property interest in July 2003. The changes in property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization from the six months ended June 30, 2003 to the six months ended June 30, 2004 were also attributable to this acquisition, however its effect on these expenses was partially offset by the sale of a multi-family property interest in March 2003. Included in property operating expenses are management fees paid to Brandywine Construction & Management, Inc., an affiliate of the spouse of our chairman and chief executive officer, for providing real estate management services for the real estate underlying our interests in real estate. Brandywine provided real estate management services to five and five properties underlying our investments in real estate at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We paid management fees of $206,000 and $442,000 to Brandywine for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $77,000 and $247,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2004 and 2003, Brandywine provided real estate management services for real estate underlying eight and ten, respectively, of our investments in real estate whose operations are not included in our consolidated financial statements. We anticipate that we will continue to use Brandywine to provide real estate management services. 22 Salaries and Related Benefits; General and Administrative Expense. Salaries and related benefits were $1.4 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $918,000 and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $1.8 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $778,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The increases in salaries and related benefits and in general and administrative expenses were due to: - increased personnel and occupancy expenses which reflect the expansion of our staff to support the increased size of our portfolio, due to the significant infusion of new capital, primarily from our public offerings, - increased compliance costs relating to new regulatory requirements and - increased costs for directors' and officers' liability insurance. Included in general and administrative expense is rental expense relating to our downtown Philadelphia office space. We sublease these offices pursuant to two operating leases that provide for annual rentals based upon the amount of square footage we occupy. The sub-leases expire in August 2010 and both contain two five-year renewal options. One sub-lease is with The Bancorp, Inc. We paid rent to Bancorp in the amount of $62,000 and $124,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $61,000 and $122,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The other sublease is with The Richardson Group, Inc. We paid rent to Richardson in the amount of $14,000 and $28,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $13,000 and $27,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Also included in general and administrative expenses is $15,000 and $30,000 that we paid in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to Bancorp for technical support services provided to us. Our relationships with Bancorp and Richardson are described in Note 7 to our financial statements, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There has been no material change in our assessment of our sensitivity to market risk since the presentation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. ITEM 4. 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 SEC'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 and with the participation of our disclosure committee appointed by such officers, 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. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter. 23 PART II.
