and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking
statements
are
based
upon
the
current
beliefs
and
expectations
of
RAIT's
management
and
are
inherently
subject
to
significant
business,
economic
and
competitive
uncertainties
and
contingencies,
many
of
which
are
difficult
to
predict
and
generally
not
within
RAIT’s
control.
In
addition,
these
forward-
looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may
differ materially from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the
forward-looking
statements:
the
risk
factors
discussed
and
identified
in
filings
by
RAIT
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission;
adverse
market
developments
and
credit
losses
have
reduced,
and
may
continue
to
reduce,
the
value
of
trust
preferred
securities
and
subordinated
debentures;
adverse
market developments may reduce the value of other assets in RAIT’s
investment portfolio; RAIT’s
liquidity may be adversely affected by the reduced
availability of short-term and long-term financing, including a reduction in the market for securities issued in securitizations and in the availability of
repurchase
agreements
and
warehouse
facilities;
RAIT’s
liquidity
may
be
adversely
affected
by
margin
calls;
RAIT
may
be
unable
to
obtain
adequate
capital at attractive rates or otherwise; payment delinquencies or failure to meet other collateral performance criteria in collateral underlying RAIT’s
securitizations
have
restricted,
and
may
continue
to
restrict,
RAIT’s
ability
to
receive
cash
distributions
from
its
securitizations;
covenants
in
RAIT’s
financing arrangements may restrict its business operations; fluctuations in interest rates and related hedging activities against such interest rates may
affect
RAIT’s
earnings
and
the
value
of
its
assets;
borrowing
costs
may
increase
relative
to
the
interest
received
on
RAIT’s
investments;
RAIT
may
be
unable to acquire eligible securities for securitization transactions on favorable economic terms; RAIT may experience unexpected results arising from
litigation; RAIT and Taberna Realty Finance Trust may fail to maintain qualification as REITs; RAIT may fail to maintain exemptions under the Investment
Company Act of 1940; geographic concentrations in investment portfolios of residential mortgage loans could be adversely affected by economic factors
unique
to
such
concentrations;
the
market
value
of
real
estate
that
secures
mortgage
loans
could
diminish
due
to
factors
outside
of
RAIT’s
control;
adverse governmental or regulatory policies may be enacted; management and other key personnel may be lost; competition from other REITs and other
specialty
finance
companies
may
increase;
and
general
business
and
economic
conditions
could
adversely
affect
credit
quality
and
loan
originations.

Amortized cost reflects the cost incurred by us to acquire or originate the asset, net of origination discount and
other than temporary impairment.
(2)
The fair value of our investments represents our management’s estimate of the price that a willing buyer would
pay a willing seller for such assets. Our management bases this estimate on the underlying interest rates and
credit spreads for fixed-rate securities and, to the extent available, quoted market prices. The amortized cost of
our investments in real estate interests
approximates fair value.
(3)
Weighted average coupon is calculated on the unpaid principal amount of the underlying instruments which does
not necessarily correspond to amortized cost or estimated fair value.
(4)
Our investments in residential mortgages
and mortgagerelated receivables at September30, 2007 consisted of
-related receivables at September30, 2007 consisted of
investments in adjustable rate residential mortgages. These mortgages bear interest rates that are fixed for three,
five, seven and ten year periods, respectively, and reset annual
ly
thereafter and are referred to as 3/1, 5/1, 7/1
and 10/1 ARMs, respectively. We financed our investment in these assets through shortterm repurchase
-
agreements and long
-
term securitizations.

Performance Measures
Adjusted Earnings
is an additional measure of our operating performance because it facilitates evaluation of us without
the effects of adjustments in accordance with GAAP that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating
performance. Reconciliation of Reported GAAP Net Income Available to Common Shares to Adjusted Earnings for the
Three-Month and Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 (unaudited) (1)
(1)
Adjusted
earnings
and
adjusted
earnings
per
share
are
non-GAAP
financial
measurements
and
do
not
purport
to
be
an
alternative
to
net
income
or
earnings
per
share
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP
as
a
measure
of
operating
performance
or
to
cash
flows
from
operating
activities
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP
as
a
measure
of
liquidity.
We
define
adjusted
earnings
as
net
income
available
to
common
shares,
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
adjusted
for
the
following
items:
real
estate
depreciation,
amortization
of
intangible
assets,
share-based
compensation,
allowance
for
loan
losses,
unrealized
gains
(losses)
on
hedges,
deferred
fee
income
and
the
deferred
tax
provision.
Management
views
adjusted
earnings
as
a
useful
and
appropriate
supplement
to
net
income
and
earnings
per
share.
The
measure
serves
as
an
additional
measure
of
our
operating
performance
because
it
facilitates
evaluation
of
us
without
the
effects
of
certain
adjustments
in
accordance
with
GAAP
that
may
not
necessarily
be
indicative
of
current
operating
performance.
Adjusted
earnings
should
be
reviewed
in
connection
with
net
income
and
cash
flows
from
operating,
investing
and
financing
activities
in
our
consolidated
financial
statements,
to
help
analyze
how
our
business
is
performing.
Adjusted
earnings
and
other
supplemental
performance
measures
are
defined
in
various
ways
throughout
the
REIT
industry.
Investors
should
consider
these
differences when comparing our adjusted earnings to other REITs.
