NOTE 1 − ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION – (Continued)

The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 based among other things, on the related-party tiebreaker where it was determined that the Company was most closely associated to each VIE including but not limited to the existence of a principal-agency relationship where the Company is the principal.  In its capacity as manager, the Company has supported one credit in one of its CRE CDOs as it went through a restructure in order to maximize the future cash flows.  The Company has provided no other financial support to any other of its VIEs.

NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

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

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Investment Securities

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

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

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

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

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

NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

Investment Interest Income Recognition

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

Allowance for Loan Loss

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

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

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

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

NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

Investments in Real Estate

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

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

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

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

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

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

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

In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance which revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity.  The determination of whether the transfer of a financial asset subject to a repurchase agreement is a sale is based, in part, on whether the entity maintains effective control over the financial asset.  The amendments in this guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted.  Adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

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

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

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

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

● the severity of the impairment;

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

● original and current credit ratings from the rating agencies;

● underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities;

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

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

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $153.0 million and $132.8 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $20.2 million and $28.7 million, respectively), of CMBS recorded at fair value.  To determine fair value, the Company uses two methods, either a dealer quote or an internal valuation model, depending upon the current level of market activity (see Note 2).  As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $153.0 million and $123.9 million, respectively, of investment securities available-for-sale were valued using dealer quotes and $0 and $8.9 million, respectively, were valued using an internal valuation model.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $28.7 million and $25.2 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $1.2 million and $3.3 million), of ABS recorded at fair value (see Note 2).  To determine their fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes.

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE – (Continued)

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment on positions that supported the Company’s CMBS investment.  While the Company’s securities classified as available-for-sale have declined in fair value on a net basis, the Company has concluded that the declines continue to be temporary and does not believe that any of its securities classified as available-for sale were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 that had not been previously classified as such.  The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying properties in order to analyze current and projected security performance.  Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company’s income approach when determining other-than-than temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal and interest indicating no impairment.

Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of mortgage principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on CMBS in the Company’s investment portfolio.  At March 31, 2012, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s CMBS by approximately $12.4 million.  At December 31, 2011, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s CMBS by approximately $13.2 million.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the discount on the Company’s ABS portfolio was $3.8 million.  There were no premiums on the Company’s ABS investment portfolio.

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

The Company has a 100% interest valued at $1.5 million in the common shares (3% of the total equity) in two trusts, Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“RCT II”).  The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts.  The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of either trust, nor does it have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to these trusts.  Therefore, the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust and they are not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and records dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $631,000 and $882,000, respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures it issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $45,000 and $77,000, respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs.  The Company will continuously reassess as to whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

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

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

	Rating 1		Rating 2		Rating 3		Rating 4		Rating 5		Held for Sale		Total

Collateralized Debt Obligations

As a result of the Company’s ownership of senior notes, both the notes repurchased subsequent to closing and those retained at the CDO’s closing eliminate in consolidation.

NOTE 16 – DISTRIBUTIONS

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income.  In addition, the Company must distribute 100% of its taxable income in order not to be subject to corporate federal income taxes on retained income.  The Company anticipates it will distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders.  Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses (such as provisions for loan and lease losses and depreciation), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its distributions or, alternatively, may be required to borrow to make sufficient distribution payments.

On March 16, 2012, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.20 per share of common stock, $16.9 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 27, 2012 to stockholders of record on March 30, 2012.

NOTE 17 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NOTE 17 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – (Continued)

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

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

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, dividend reinvestment plan proceeds receivable, interest receivable, distribution payable and accrued interest expense approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet.  The fair value of the Company’s investment securities-trading is reported in Note 4.  The fair value of the Company’s investment securities available-for-sale is reported in Note 5.  The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is reported in Note 18.

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

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

Collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) notes are valued using the dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CDO in which the notes are held.

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

NOTE 18– INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

A significant market risk to the Company is interest rate risk.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond the Company’s control.  Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with the interest-bearing liabilities, by affecting the spread between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in the level of interest rates also can affect the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets and the Company’s ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets.  A decline in the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets pledged as collateral for borrowings could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels.

NOTE 18– INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS – (Continued)

The Company seeks to manage the extent to which net income changes as a function of changes in interest rates by matching adjustable-rate assets with variable-rate borrowings.  During periods of changing interest rates, interest rate mismatches could negatively impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows.  In addition, the Company mitigates the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime coupon adjustment restrictions in its investment portfolio by entering into interest rate hedging agreements such as interest rate caps and interest rate swaps.

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

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

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

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

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

At March 31, 2012, the Company had 17 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 4.84% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR.  The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $154.6 million at March 31, 2012.  The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts at such date were Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, with which the Company had master netting agreements.

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

NOTE 18– INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS – (Continued)

The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was ($13.3) million and ($13.2) million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $14.4 million and $14.3 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  In connection with the August 2006 close of RREF CDO 2006-1, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $119,000, which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2006-1.  The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.  In connection with the June 2007 close of RREF CDO 2007-1, the Company realized a swap termination gain of $2.6 million, which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2007-1.  The accretion is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.  In connection with the termination of a $53.6 million swap related to RREF CDO 2006-1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $4.2 million, which is being amortized over the term of a new $45.0 million swap.  The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.  In connection with the payoff of a fixed-rate commercial real estate loan during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company terminated a $12.7 million swap and realized a $574,000 swap termination loss, which is being amortized over the original term of the terminated swap.  The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

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

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

Overview

We are a specialty finance company that focuses primarily on commercial real estate and commercial finance.  We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Our objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategy.  We invest in a combination of real estate-related assets and, to a lesser extent, higher-yielding commercial finance assets.  We have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through borrowing strategies seeking to match the maturities and repricing dates of our financings with the maturities and repricing dates of those investments, and have sought to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.

We are externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., or the Manager, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI), or Resource America, a specialized asset management company that uses industry-specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its commercial real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management operating segments.  As of March 31, 2012, Resource America managed approximately $13.0 billion of assets in these sectors.  To provide its services, the Manager draws upon Resource America, its management team and their collective investment experience.

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

Although economic conditions in the United States have had some modest improvements, ongoing conditions in real estate and credit markets continue to impact both us and a number of our commercial real estate borrowers.  We have entered into loan modifications with 26 of our commercial real estate loans.  We have increased our allowance for loan losses to reflect the effect of these conditions on our borrowers and have recorded both temporary and other than temporary impairments in the market valuation of the CMBS and ABS in our investment portfolio.  While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at March 31, 2012, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions.

Prior to mid-2010 events occurring in the credit markets impacted our financing and investing strategies and, as a result, our ability to originate new investments and to grow.  The market for securities issued by new securitizations collateralized by assets similar to those in our investment portfolio as well as other forms of lending with respect to such assets largely disappeared until mid-2010.  During 2011, we began to see a loosening of the credit markets.  In February 2011, we entered into a $100.0 million, two year term facility with Wells Fargo to purchase CMBS.  In June 2011 we obtained a warehouse facility to finance the purchase of bank loans with Citibank N.A. through Apidos CLO VIII, Ltd, or Apidos CLO VIII.  More recently, we entered into a $10.0 million revolving credit facility with The Bancorp Bank, a related party, and in February 2012 we entered into a $150.0 million master repurchase and securities agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to finance the origination of commercial real estate loans.  We continue to engage in discussions with potential financing sources about providing commercial real estate term financing to augment and cautiously grow our loan portfolio.  We caution investors that even as credit through these markets becomes more available, we may not be able to obtain economically favorable terms.

47

In light of economic conditions and credit availability, our principal strategies are to manage our liquidity and originate new assets primarily through capital recycling as loan payoffs and paydowns occur and through existing capacities within our completed securitizations and available credit facilities or credit facilities we may be able to arrange on acceptable terms.  The following is a summary of repayments we received during the three months ended March 31, 2012:

● $904,000 of commercial real estate loan principal repayments;

● $115.9 million of bank loan principal repayments; and

● $40.1 million of bank loan sale proceeds.

We have used recycled capital in our bank loan CLO structures to make new investments at discounts to par.  We expect that the reinvested capital and related discounts will produce additional income as the discounts are accreted into interest income.  In addition, the purchase of these investments at discounts allows us to build collateral in the CLO structures since we receive credit in these structures for these investments at par.  From net discounts of approximately $31.0 million at March 31, 2012, we expect to recognize income of approximately $5.8 million in our bank loan CLO portfolio for the remaining nine months of 2012. 

During 2010, we invested $5.0 million through Resource TRS, our taxable REIT subsidiary, in structured finance vehicles, principally CLO equity, which we have classified as trading securities.  The program is managed by Resource Capital Markets, LLC, an affiliate of Resource America.  Because of the success of that new investment, we committed an additional $8.0 million during February 2011.  Beginning in October 2010 through March 31, 2012, we have underwritten 14 new CRE loans for a total of $168.1 million.  We also purchased 22 newly underwritten CMBS for $89.3 million beginning in February 2011 through March 31, 2012, financed with the Wells Fargo facility.  In 2011, we added to our preferred stock investment in LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc., or LCC, a recently recapitalized equipment leasing enterprise associated with our Manager, and held a $36.3 million investment in LCC at March 31, 2012.  In February 2011, we purchased a company that manages $1.9 billion of bank loan assets and are entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees.  In October 2011, we closed Apidos CLO VIII, a $352.3 million CLO transaction and issued $317.6 million of senior notes in conjunction with the closing.  Apidos CLO VIII, in which we own a 43% equity interest, provides financing for bank loans.  Due to these recent investments, our increased ability to access credit markets and our ability to invest a significant portion of our available unrestricted and restricted cash balances during 2012, we expect to modestly increase our net interest income in 2012.  However, because we believe that economic conditions in the United States are fragile, and could be significantly harmed by occurrences over which we have no control, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our expectations, or that we will not experience net interest income reductions.

As of March 31, 2012, we had invested 62.4% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 31.2% in commercial bank loans and 6.4% in other assets.  As of December 31, 2011, we had invested 63.0% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 30.6% in commercial bank loans, 6.4% in other investments. 

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the provision for credit losses, recovery of deferred tax assets, fair value of investment securities, potential impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, guarantees and certain accrued liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the discussion of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations − Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

(1) Amount excludes $2.0 million of interest income on bank loans on Apidos CLO VIII.  We own 43% of the outstanding subordinated debt.  The remaining 57% of subordinated debt is owned by unrelated third parties.

Aggregate interest income increased $4.8 million (19%) to $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest Income from Loans.  Aggregate interest income from loans increased $2.3 million (11%) to $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of increases in interest income from both bank loans and CRE loans.

Interest income on bank loans increased $1.1 million (8%) to $15.3 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2012 resulted primarily from an increase in the weighted average loan balance of $324.1 million to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $878.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, principally as a result of our new CLO, for which we began acquiring assets in July 2011.

The increase in the weighted average loan balance was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield to 5.02% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 6.41% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of the decrease in accretion income as a result of the purchase of $608.8 million of bank loans at discounts during 2009 and 2010 and the subsequent paydown and payoff of many of those loans during the three months ended March 31, 2011 which sped up the recognition of the discount accretion.  The decrease in accretion that resulted from payoffs and paydowns during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was partially offset by accretion income generated by our new CLO during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The interest income on CRE loans increased $1.3 million (18%) to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This increase is a result of the following:

50

● The increase of $40.7 million in the weighted average loan balance to $685.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $644.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as we began to reinvest proceeds from payoffs and paydowns, classified as restricted CDO cash on our balance sheet, during the fourth quarter of 2010, with the majority of it being reinvested during the second and third quarters of 2011.

● The increase in the weighted average yield to 4.82% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 4.28% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of newer loans with higher stated rates than our legacy portfolio.

Interest Income from Securities.  Aggregate interest income from securities increased $824,000 (30%) to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in interest income from securities resulted principally from the following:

Interest income on CMBS-private placement increased $633,000 (28%) to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2012 resulted from the following:

● An increase in the weighted average balance of assets of $32.5 million primarily as a result of the purchase of assets on our Wells Fargo facility beginning in February 2011.

● An increase in the weighted average yield of assets to 6.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 6.00% from the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of the purchase of higher yielding assets.

Interest Income Other.  Aggregate interest income-other increased $1.6 million (132%) to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and is primarily related to our program with Resource Capital Markets.  The payments vary from period to period and are based on cash flows from the underlying assets rather than on a contractual interest rate.

Interest Expense − Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

The following table sets forth information relating to our interest expense incurred for the periods presented by asset class (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2012						Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
			Weighted Average						Weighted Average
	Interest Expense		Yield		Balance		Interest Expense		Yield		Balance
Bank loans	$	3,813		1.26%	$	1,205,086	$	2,290		1.00%	$	906,000
Commercial real estate loans		1,558		1.28%	$	477,847		1,589		1.24%	$	507,362
CMBS–private placement		278		1.98%	$	58,704		56		6.27%	$	3,612
Hedging instruments		1,993		5.11%	$	152,526		2,114		5.04%	$	167,065
General		801		4.71%	$	65,148		884		6.99%	$	51,548
Total interest expense	$	8,443					$	6,933

Aggregate interest expense increased $1.5 million (22%) to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest expense related to our bank loans was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $1.5 million (67%).  This increase resulted primarily from the following:

● an increase in the weighted average balance of the related financings of $299.1 million to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $906.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the closing of our new CLO which occurred in October 2011.  The increase in weighted average balance of financings from our new CLO was partially offset by the paydown of Apidos CDO I since it has reached the end of its reinvestment period.  During the period October, 31, 2011 through March 31, 2012, Apidos CDO I paid down $24.0 million in principal amount of its CDO notes.

● an increase in the weighted average rate to 1.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily as a result of the increase in LIBOR, a reference index for the rates payable on most of these financings and as a result of the closing of our new CLO which had a weighted average rate on its financings of 2.42% during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

51

Interest expense on CMBS-private placement was $278,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $56,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $222,000 (396%).  The increase is due entirely to our use of our master repurchase agreement facility with Wells Fargo that we entered into in February 2011 to finance our acquisition of highly-rated CMBS.

The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on hedging instruments of $121,000 (6%) to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease in the hedging expense was primarily due to a change in the composition of interest rate swaps we held on our books during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 2011.  This change in composition is a result of the maturities of the hedges related to our CRE portfolio in 2012 and 2011 and the purchase of new hedges at lower rates that relate to securities we purchased using the Wells Fargo repurchase facility in 2011.

Other Revenue

The following table sets forth information relating to other revenue we generated during the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011
Other revenue:
Rental income	$	1,919	$	23
Dividend income		−		661
Fee income		1,862		1,646
Total other revenue	$	3,781	$	2,330

The increase in rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 is related to investments in real estate which we began acquiring in June 2011.

We received dividend income of $661,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  On November 16, 2011, we entered into an agreement whereby we exchanged our old preferred interest in LCC for a new preferred interest in LCC.  We have accounted for our resulting interest under the equity method subsequent to November 16, 2011 and therefore, we no longer record dividend income from this investment.

We generated fee income of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 which is related to our February 2011 acquisition of a company that manages bank loan assets and receives senior, subordinated, and incentive fees from five Resource Capital Asset Management, or RCAM, collateralized loan obligation issuers, or CLOs.  The 2012 period represents a full quarter of fee income versus a partial quarter in 2011.

Management fees – related party increased $1.1 million (47%) to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  These amounts represent compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement as well as fees to the manager of our structured note portfolio.  The changes are described below:

52

● Incentive management fees to our Manager, which are based upon the excess of adjusted operating earnings over a variable base rate, were $659,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  There was no incentive management fee for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of losses realized on our CRE portfolio.  The incentive fee is calculated for each quarter and the calculation in any quarter is not affected by the results of any other quarter.

● Base management fees increased by $296,000 (19%) to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This increase was due to increased stockholders’ equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, primarily as a result of the receipt of $107.8 million of net proceeds from the sales of common stock through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan or DRIP, from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012 as well as the receipt of $46.6 million from the proceeds of our March 2011 secondary common stock offering.

● Incentive management fees related to our structured finance manager increased by $150,000 (20%) to $906,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $756,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in fees is primarily related to the increase in the performance of this portfolio at March 31, 2012.

Equity compensation – related party increased $408,000 (89%) to $868,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $460,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  These expenses relate to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and discretionary grants of restricted stock to several employees of Resource America who provide investment management services to us through our Manager.  The increase in expense was primarily the result of the issuance of new grants in 2011 and 2012.  The increase in expense was partially offset by a decrease in our stock price and its impact on our quarterly remeasurement of the value of unvested stock.

Professional services increased $433,000 (47%) to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $919,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result the following:

● An increase of $252,000 in collateral management fees related to our new Apidos CDO.  The CDO closed in October 2011.

● An increase of $191,000 in legal fees primarily from general legal expense related to the CMBS portfolio for a legal matter related to a security.

Rental operating expense increased $1.2 million (810%) to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and is related to an increase in our investments in real estate through several acquisitions that began in June 2011.

General and administrative expense increased $263,000 (33%) to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $800,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This increase is primarily the result of CRE consulting fees related to a loan that was restructured with a new borrower and new use for the underlying property.

Depreciation and amortization increased $1.1 million (438%) to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $253,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and is related to our acquisition of real estate in the second and third quarters of 2011 and our acquisition of Resource Capital Asset Management, or RCAM, in February 2011.

Income tax expense increased $806,000 (45%) to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to increased profits in our trading portfolio and increased fee income from RCAM following its acquisition in February 2011.

Total other income (expense)	$	1,295		$	(583	)

53

Impairment losses on real property held for sale were $139,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2012 and represents current estimates based on sales contracts related to our property available-for-sale.  There were no such impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Net realized gains on investment securities available-for-sale and loans increased $224,000 (144%) to $380,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $156,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase is primarily the result of gains from the sale of bank loans during the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $369,000 as compared to $76,000 of gains from the sale of loans during the three months ended March 31 2011 as a result of increased sales volume, particularly in our new CDO, Apidos CLO VIII.

Net realized and unrealized gains on investment securities-trading increased $338,000 (19%) to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in gains is the result of the improved marks on the investment securities-trading portfolio.

Our provision for loan and lease losses decreased $428,000 (16%) to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The following table summarizes information relating to our provision for loan and lease losses for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2012		2011
CRE loan portfolio	$	349	$	3,121
Bank loan portfolio		1,829		(515	)
	$	2,178	$	2,606

The principal reason for the decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was improved credit in our CRE portfolio where we have seen reduction in the magnitude of impaired and defaulted loans due in large part to the successful restructuring of 26 loans with our borrowers.  The decrease in the provision was partially offset by an increase in our bank loan portfolio, which resulted in the recognition of impairment on two new loans during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Other income increased $1.0 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $61,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This increase is primarily the result of a gain of $1.2 million recognized on the sale of a property in our real estate joint venture.  There were no sales of real estate joint venture interests during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement. In the aggregate, we purchased our CMBS-private placement portfolio at a discount.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $12.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively.  These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.

There was no other-than temporary impairment on our available-for-sale securities portfolio recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012 or 2011.  While our securities classified as available-for-sale have declined in fair value on a net basis, we concluded that the decline continues to be temporary.  We perform an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance.  Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to our income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal.  We do not believe that any of our CMBS classified as available-for-sale were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2012.

(1) Whole loans had $6.8 million and $5.2 million in unfunded loan commitments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  These commitments are funded as the borrowers require additional funding and have satisfied the requirements to obtain this additional funding.

(2) The total does not include an allowance for loan losses of $8.1 million and $24.2 million recorded as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

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

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

(5) Floating rate whole loans includes a $597,000 and $302,000 preferred equity tranche of a whole loan that has a fixed rate of 10.0% as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Bank Loans.  At March 31, 2012, our consolidated securitizations, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO and Apidos CDO VIII, held a total of $1.2 billion of bank loans at fair value.  The bank loans held by these entities secure the CDO notes they issued.  The aggregate fair value of bank loans held increased by $6.6 million over their holdings at December 31, 2011.  This increase was principally due to improved market pricing for bank loans at March 31, 2012.

We have determined that Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO and Apidos CDO VIII are variable interest entities, or VIEs, and that we are the primary beneficiary for each vehicle.  As of March 31, 2012, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO and Apidos CLO VIII were consolidated.  We own 100% of the equity of Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos CDO Cinco.  We own approximately 43% of the equity of Apidos CLO VIII.

Asset-backed securities.  In November 2011, the investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio was reclassified to investment securities available-for-sale since management no longer intended to hold these positions until maturity.  These investments are now held at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss reported in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheet.  At March 31, 2012, we held a total of $28.7 million of ABS at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, and Apidos CLO VIII all of which secure the debt issued by these entities.  At December 31, 2011, we held a total of $25.2 million fair value of ABS through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, all of which secure the debt issued by these entities.  The increase in total ABS was principally due to the improved market prices.

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

In accordance with the agreement, we and Resource America have undertaken a contingent obligation with respect to the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LEAF Receivables Funding 3.  To the extent that the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LEAF Receivables Funding 3 is less than approximately $18.7 million (the value of the equity of LRF 3 on the date it was contributed to LCC by us), as of the final testing date within 90 days of December 31, 2013, we and Resource America have agreed to be jointly and severally obligated to contribute cash to LCC to make up the deficit.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

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

Acquisitions.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we made no acquisitions.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, we converted two loans we had originated to investments in real estate and acquired one real estate asset, summarized as follows:

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

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

● On August 1, 2011, we entered into an agreement to purchase Whispertree Apartments, a 504 multi-family property located in Houston, Texas, for $18.1 million, the fair value.  The property was 95% occupied at acquisition.  In conjunction with the purchase of this property, we entered into a mortgage in the amount of $13.6 million.

Restricted cash.  At March 31, 2012, we had restricted cash of $136.2 million, which consisted of $133.0 million of restricted cash on our six CDOs, $1.0 million held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio and $2.2 million held in restricted accounts at our investment properties.  At December 31, 2011, we had restricted cash of $142.8 million, which consisted of $138.1 million of restricted cash on our six CDOs, $1.5 million held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio and $3.2 million held in restricted accounts at our investment properties.  The decrease of $6.6 million is primarily related to loan settlements in our CDOs and, to a lesser extent, the expiration of the reinvestment period for two of our CDOs, Apidos CDO I and RREF CDO 2006-1, whereby any repaid principal is now used to repay the principal balance of the notes outstanding.

Interest Receivable.  At March 31, 2012, we had interest receivable of $9.5 million, which consisted of $9.5 million of interest on our securities and loans and $6,600 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts.  At December 31, 2011, we had interest receivable of $8.8 million, which consisted of $8.8 million of interest on our securities, loans and lease receivables and $15,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts.  The increase in interest receivable is primary due to a $568,000 increase in interest receivable on structured notes due to the timing of when payments were due and received, and an increase of $83,000 in interest receivable on our CMBS held as a result of new purchases through our Wells Fargo facility in the first quarter of 2012.

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

	March 31,		December 31,
	2012		2011
Management fees receivable	$	1,135	$	1,171
Other receivables		216		1,191
Prepaid assets		1,204		647
Fixed assets		1,654		979
Principal paydown		40		105
Total	$	4,249	$	4,093

Other assets increased $156,000 to $4.2 million as of March 31, 2012 from $4.1 million as of December 31, 2011.  This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $675,000 of fixed assets which is primarily related to the acquisition of new real estate properties as well as a $560,000 increase to prepaid assets due to our directors’ and officers’ insurance policy and the timing of when we pay the related premium costs as well as an increase in our prepaid tax asset.  The increase in other assets was partially offset by a decrease of $975,000 in other receivables due to the repayment of reserve fundings on the note cancellation on the RREF 2006 and RREF 2007 CDOs.

Hedging Instruments.  Our hedges at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements whereby we swapped the floating rate of interest on the liabilities we hedged for a fixed rate of interest.  With interest rates at historically low levels and the forward curve projecting steadily increasing rates as well as the scheduled maturity of two hedges during 2012, we expect that the fair value of our hedges will modestly improve in 2012.  We intend to continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future.  Our hedges at March 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

CMBS – Term Repurchase Facility

In February 2011, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, RCC Real Estate and RCC Commercial, entered into a master repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to be used as a warehouse facility to finance the purchase of highly-rated CMBS.  The Company guaranteed RCC Real Estate’s and RCC Commercial’s performance of their obligations under the repurchase agreement.  At March 31, 2012, RCC Real Estate had borrowed $64.8 million (net of $427,000 of deferred debt issuance costs), all of which the Company had guaranteed.  At March 31, 2012, borrowings under the repurchase agreement were secured by highly-rated CMBS with an estimated fair value of $75.5 million and a weighted average interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.25%, or 1.49%.  At December 31, 2011, RCC Real Estate had borrowed $55.9 million (net of $494,000 of deferred debt issuance costs), all of which the Company had guaranteed.  At December 31, 2011, borrowings under the repurchase agreement were secured by highly-rated CMBS with an estimated fair value of $64.3 million and a weighted average interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.25%, or 1.54%.

CRE – Term Repurchase Facility

On February 27, 2012, the Company entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to finance the origination of commercial real estate loans.  The maximum amount of the facility is $150.0 million with an origination fee of 37.5 basis points and has an initial 18 month term with two one year options to extend.  There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at March 31, 2012.

Revolving Credit Facility

On July 7, 2011, the Company and RCC Real Estate entered into a $10.0 million revolving credit facility with The Bancorp Bank (“Bancorp”).  The facility will provide bridge financing for up to five business days which will enable the Company and RCC Real Estate to fund real estate loans to third parties prior to their sale to the Company’s CRE CDOs.  The facility is evidenced by a Revolving Judgment Note and Security Agreement by and among the borrowers and Bancorp entered into July 7, 2011.  The facility is secured by a pledge of $32.9 million of the Class A-1 notes of RREF CDO 2006-1, which are owned by RCC Real Estate.  The note becomes due and payable on September 30, 2012.  The Company had no borrowings under this revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Collateralized Debt Obligations.  As of March 31, 2012, we had executed and retained equity in six CDO transactions as follows:

● In October 2011, we closed Apidos CLO VIII, a $350.0 million CLO transaction that provided financing for bank loans.  The investments held by Apidos CLO VIII collateralized $317.6 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle.  Resource TRS III purchased a $15.0 million equity interest representing approximately 43% of the outstanding preference shares.  At March 31, 2012, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 2.42%.

● In September 2007, we closed Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, or RREF CDO 2007-1, a $500.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans.  The investments held by RREF CDO 2007-1 collateralized $458.8 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle, of which RCC Real Estate, Inc., or RCC Real Estate, a subsidiary of ours, purchased 100% of the class H senior notes, class K senior notes, class L senior notes and class M senior notes for $68.0 million at closing, $5.0 million of the Class J senior notes in February 2008, an additional $2.5 million of the Class J senior notes in November 2009, and $11.9 million of the Class E senior notes, $11.9 million of the Class F senior notes and $7.3 million of the Class G senior notes in December 2009, $250,000 of the Class J senior notes in January 2010, $5.0 million of the Class A-2 senior notes in August 2011, and $5.0 million of the Class A-2 senior notes in September 2011.  In addition, RREF 2007-1 CDO Investor, LLC, a subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased a $41.3 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares.  At March 31, 2012, the notes issued to outside investors, net of repurchased notes, had a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.80%. 

● In May 2007, we closed Apidos Cinco CDO, a $350.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans.  The investments held by Apidos Cinco CDO collateralized $322.0 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle.  RCC Commercial II holds a $28.0 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares.  At March 31, 2012, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 1.01%. 

67

● In August 2006, we closed RREF CDO 2006-1, a $345.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans.  The investments held by RREF CDO 2006-1 collateralized $308.7 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle.  RCC Real Estate purchased 100% of the class J senior notes and class K senior notes for $43.1 million at closing and $7.5 million of the Class F senior notes in September 2009, $3.5 million of the Class E senior note and $4.0 million of the Class F senior notes in September 2009 and $20.0 million of the Class A-1 senior notes in February 2010.  In addition, RREF 2006-1 CDO Investor, LLC, a subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased a $36.3 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares.  At March 31, 2012, the notes issued to outside investors, net of repurchased notes, had a weighted average borrowing rate of 1.39%.  The reinvestment period expired in September 2011 and the CDO has begun paying down the senior notes as principal is collected.  Through March 31, 2012, $23.1 million of the Class A-1 senior notes was paid down. 

● In May 2006, we closed Apidos CDO III, a $285.5 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans.  The investments held by Apidos CDO III collateralized $262.5 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle.  RCC Commercial purchased a $23.0 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares.  At March 31, 2012, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.93%. 

● In August 2005, we closed Apidos CDO I, a $350.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans.  The investments held by Apidos CDO I collateralize $321.5 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle.  RCC Commercial purchased a $28.5 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares.  At March 31, 2012, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 1.15%.  The reinvestment period expired in July 2011 and the CDO has begun paying down the senior notes as principal is collected.  Through March 31, 2012, $24.0 million of the Class A-1 senior notes was paid down. 

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

Trust Preferred Securities.  In May and September 2006, we formed Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities.  Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II are not consolidated into our consolidated financial statements because we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust.  We own 100% of the common shares of each trust, each of which issued $25.0 million of preferred shares to unaffiliated investors.  Our rights as the holder of the common shares of each trust are subordinate to the rights of the holders of preferred shares only in the event of a default; otherwise, our economic and voting rights are pari passu with the preferred shareholders.  We record each of our investments in the trusts’ common shares of $774,000 as an investment in unconsolidated trusts and record dividend income upon declaration by each trust. 

In October 2009, we amended our unsecured junior subordinated debentures held by RCT I and RCT II with a total value outstanding of $51.5 million.  The amendment provides for an interest rate increase of 2% (from LIBOR plus 3.95% to LIBOR plus 5.95%) on both issuances for a period of two years and a one-time restructuring fee of $250,000 in exchange for the waiver of financial covenants under our guarantee.  The interest rate adjustment took effect as of October 1, 2009 and expired on September 30, 2011.  The rates for RCT I and RCT II at March 31, 2012, were 4.42% and 4.50%, respectively and 4.32% and 4.38% at December 31, 2011, respectively.  The covenant waiver expired on January 1, 2012.  The junior subordinated debentures debt issuance costs are included in borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets.  We record interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures and amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of operations.  The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at March 31, 2012 were $427,000 and $445,000, respectively.  The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at December 31, 2011 were $450,000 and $467,000, respectively. 

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2012 was $462.8 million and gave effect to $14.4 million of unrealized losses on our cash flow hedges and $21.4 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.  Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 was $429.7 million and gave the effect to $14.3 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges and $32.0 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive.  The increase in stockholder’s equity during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was principally due to the proceeds from sales of our common stock through our DRIP and improvements in the value of investment securities available-for-sale.

68

Fluctuations in market values of assets in our available-for-sale portfolio that have not been other-than-temporarily impaired, do not impact our income determined in accordance with GAAP, or our taxable income, but rather are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets by changing the carrying value of the asset and stockholders’ equity under ‘‘Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.”

Funds from Operations

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

AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s cash flow generated by operations.  We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO: non-cash impairment losses resulting from fair value adjustments on financial instruments, non-cash provision for loan losses, straight-line rental effects, share based compensation, amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets, gains on debt extinguishment, several REIT tax planning adjustments considered non-recurring by management and capital expenditures that are related to our real estate owned.

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2012, our principal sources of current liquidity were $24.2 million of proceeds from the sale of common stock through our DRIP and funds available in existing CDO financings of $133.0 million at March 31, 2012.  As of December 31, 2011, our principal sources of current liquidity were $46.6 million of net proceeds from our May 2011 offering, $83.6 million of proceeds from sale of common stock through our DRIP and funds available in existing CDO financings of $110.9 million.

Our on-going liquidity needs consist principally of funds to make investments, make debt repurchases, make distributions to our stockholders and pay our operating expenses, including our management fees.  Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and, with respect to our investments, our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to above.  Historically, we have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through CDOs that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments.  We derive substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CDOs which, if the CDOs fail to meet certain tests, will cease.  Through March 31, 2012, we have not experienced difficulty in maintaining our existing CDO financing and have passed all of the critical tests required by these financings.  However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet all such critical tests in the future.  If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of existing financing on substantially similar terms, we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments.  If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such assets, which would result in losses and reduced income.

(1) Distributions on retained equity interests in CDOs (comprised of note investment and preference share ownership).

(2) Interest coverage includes annualized amounts based on the most recent trustee statements.

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

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

(5) Apidos CLO VIII, which closed in October 2011, had its first distribution in April 2012; Our share was $1.1 million.

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

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

At April 30, 2012, after paying the first quarter dividend, our liquidity of $127.9 million consists of two primary sources:

● unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million and restricted cash of $1.0 million in margin call accounts and $2.2 million in the form of real estate escrows, reserves and deposits; and

● capital available for reinvestment in our six CDO entities of $103.5 million, of which $965,000 is designated to finance future funding commitments on CRE loans.

70

In addition, we have availability through two CRE term facilities to finance the purchase of highly-rated CMBS securities and originate commercial real estate loans of $29.5 million and $150.0 million, respectively.

Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use.  As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our leverage ratio was 3.9 times and 4.2 times, respectively.  The decrease in leverage ratio was primarily due to the offering proceeds received through our DRIP issuances and repayment on our CDO notes which was partially offset by borrowings under our Wells Fargo CMBS repurchase facility.

Distributions

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid corporate-level income tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of our net taxable income to holders of our common stock.  This requirement can impact our liquidity and capital resources.  On March 16, 2012, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.20 per share of common stock, $16.9 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 27, 2012 to stockholders of record on March 30, 2012.

(1) Contractual commitments do not include $8.7 million, $12.3 million, $9.8 million, $14.1 million, $24.9 million and $58.0 million of interest expense payable through the non-call dates of July 2010, May 2011, June 2011, August 2011 and June 2012, respectively, on Apidos CDO I, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO III, RREF 2006-1, RREF 2007-1 and Apidos CLO VIII.  The non-call date represents the earliest period under which the CDO assets can be sold, resulting in repayment of the CDO notes.

(2) Contractual commitments include $33,000 of interest expense payable through the maturity date of April 18, 2012 on our repurchase agreements.

(3) Contractual commitments do not include $48.7 million and $49.7 million of interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036, respectively, on our trust preferred securities.

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

At March 31, 2012, we had 17 interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $154.6 million.  These contracts are fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements under which we contracted to pay a fixed rate of interest for the term of the hedge and will receive a floating rate of interest.  As of March 31, 2012, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 4.84% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 0.25%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

We have certain unfunded commitments related to our commercial real estate loan portfolio that we may be required to fund in the future.  Our unfunded commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria.  Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional loan interest income on the advanced amount.  As of March 31, 2012, we had seven loans with unfunded commitments totaling $6.8 million, of which $1.0 million will be funded by restricted cash in RREF CDO 2007-1.

71

On November 16, 2011, as described in “Financial Condition”, we, together with LEAF Financial and LCC, entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements.  Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement,  we and Resource America have undertaken a contingent obligation with respect to the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LEAF Receivables Funding 3, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCC which owns equipment, equipment leases and notes. See Note 15 “Related-Party Transactions” inthe notes to consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the primary component of our market risk was interest rate risk, as described below.  While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.

Effect on Fair Value

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

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

The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the estimated impact on the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and liabilities of changes in interest rates, assuming rates instantaneously fall 100 basis points and rise 100 basis points (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2012
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement (1):
Fair value	$	138,718		$	136,299		$	133,973
Change in fair value	$	2,419					$	(2,326	)
Change as a percent of fair value		1.77	%					1.71	%
Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(18,247	)	$	(13,304	)	$	(7,619	)
Change in fair value	$	(4,943	)				$	5,685
Change as a percent of fair value		37.15	%					42.73	%

	December 31, 2011
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement (1):
Fair value	$	121,534		$	119,274		$	117,101
Change in fair value	$	2,260					$	(2,173	)
Change as a percent of fair value		1.89	%					1.82	%
Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(18,851	)	$	(13,210	)	$	(6,782	)
Change in fair value	$	(5,641	)				$	6,428
Change as a percent of fair value		42.70	%					48.66	%

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

For purposes of the tables, we have excluded our investments with variable interest rates that are indexed to LIBOR.  Because the variable rates on these instruments are short-term in nature, we are not subject to material exposure to movements in fair value as a result of changes in interest rates.

72

It is important to note that the impact of changing interest rates on fair value can change significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels.  Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could increase significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels.  In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the yield curve, market expectations as to future interest rate changes and other market conditions.  Accordingly, in the event of changes in actual interest rates, the change in the fair value of our assets would likely differ from that shown above and such difference might be material and adverse to our stockholders.

Risk Management

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

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

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

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

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

3 Months Ended

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

The following table presents additional information about assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs (in thousands):

	Level 3

Total gains or losses (realized/unrealized):
Included in earnings		2,648

Paydowns		(1,082	)
Unrealized gains (losses) - included in accumulated other comprehensive income		3,968
Ending balance, March 31, 2012	$	67,134

The following table presents additional information about liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs (in thousands):

	Level 3
Beginning balance, January 1, 2011	$	10,929
Transfers into Level 3		1,071
Beginning balance, January 1, 2012		12,000
Unrealized losses - included in accumulated other comprehensive income		410
Ending balance, March 31, 2012	$	12,410

The Company had no impairment losses included in earnings due to other-than-temporary impairment charges on securities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.

Loans held for sale consist of bank loans and commercial real estate loans ("CRE loans") identified for sale due to credit concerns.  Interest on loans held for sale is recognized according to the contractual terms of the loan and included in interest income on loans.  The fair value of bank loans held for sale and impaired bank loans is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for these loans.  As such, the Company classifies these loans as recurring Level 2.  For the Company's CRE loans where there is no market, fair value is measured using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniquesand these loans are classified as nonrecurring Level 3.  The amount of nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of income as provision for loan losses.

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value as follows (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
March 31, 2012:
Assets:
Loans held for sale	$	−	$	7,515	$	−	$	7,515
Impaired loans		−		2,029		21,000		23,029
Total assets at fair value	$	−	$	9,544	$	21,000	$	30,544
December 31, 2011:
Assets:
Loans held for sale	$	−	$	3,154	$	−	$	3,154
Impaired loans		−		1,099		−		1,099
Total assets at fair value	$	−	$	4,253	$	−	$	4,253

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2012, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value at March 31, 2012			Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Significant Unobservable Input Value
Impaired loans	$	21,000		Discounted cash flow	Cap rate		10.00%
Interest rate swap agreements	$	(12,410	)	Discounted cash flow	Weighted average credit spreads		6.76%

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, dividend reinvestment plan proceeds receivable, interest receivable, distribution payable and accrued interest expense approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet.  The fair value of the Company's investment securities-trading is reported in Note 4.  The fair value of the Company's investment securities available-for-sale is reported in Note 5.  The fair value of the Company's derivative instruments is reported in Note 18.

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

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

Collateralized debt obligation ("CDO") notes are valued using the dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CDO in which the notes are held.

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

The fair values of the Company's remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are reported below (in thousands):

			Fair Value Measurements
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets of Liabilities (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

DISTRIBUTIONS [Abstract]

DISTRIBUTIONS

NOTE 16 - DISTRIBUTIONS

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income.  In addition, the Company must distribute 100% of its taxable income in order not to be subject to corporate federal income taxes on retained income.  The Company anticipates it will distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders.  Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses (such as provisions for loan and lease losses and depreciation), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its distributions or, alternatively, may be required to borrow to make sufficient distribution payments.

On March 16, 2012, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.20 per share of common stock, $16.9 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 27, 2012 to stockholders of record on March 30, 2012.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

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

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

	Rating 1		Rating 2		Rating 3		Rating 4		Rating 5		Held for Sale		Total
As of March 31, 2012:

Commercial Real Estate Loans

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign grades to commercial real estate loans.  Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received.  Loans are graded on a scale of 1-4 with 1 representing the Company's highest rating and 4 representing its lowest rating.  The Company designates loans that are sold after the period end at the lower of their fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales.  In addition to the underlying performance of the loan collateral, the Company considers such things as the strength of underlying sponsorship, payment history, collectability of interest, structural credit enhancements, market trends and loan terms in grading its commercial real estate loans.

Relationship with Resource America.

At March 31, 2012, Resource America owned 2,524,230 shares, or 3.0%, of the Company's outstanding common stock.  In addition, Resource America held 2,166 options to purchase restricted stock.

The Company is managed by the Manager pursuant to a management agreement that provides for both base and incentive management fees.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Manager earned base management fees of approximately $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.  The Company also reimburses the Manager and Resource America for expenses and employees of Resource America who perform legal, accounting, due diligence and other services that outside professionals or consultants would otherwise perform and for the wages, salaries and benefits of several Resource America personnel dedicated to the Company's operations.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company paid the Manager $597,000 and $564,000, respectively, as expense reimbursements.

On November 24, 2010, the Company entered into an Investment Management Agreement with Resource Capital Markets, Inc. ("RCM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America.  The initial agreement provided that: (a) RCM may invest up to $5.0 million of the Company's funds, with the investable amount being adjusted by portfolio gains/(losses) and collections, and offset by expenses, taxes and realized management fees, and (b) RCM can earn a management fee in any year that the net profits earned exceed a preferred return. On June 17, 2011, the Company entered into a revised Investment Management Agreement with RCM which provided an additional $8.0 million of the Company's funds. The management fee is 20% of the amount by which the net profits exceed the preferred return.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, RCM earned $793,000 in management fees.  The Company has reinvested gains from its activity and holds $43.3 million in fair market value of trading securities as of March 31, 2012, an increase of $4.6 million from $38.7 million at fair market value as of December 31, 2011.  In addition, the Company and RCM have established an escrow account that allocates the net profit or net losses of the portfolio on a yearly basis based on the net asset value of the account.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, RCM earned $113,000 as its share of the net profits as defined in the Investment Management Agreement.

At March 31, 2012, the Company was indebted to the Manager for $1.3 million, comprised of base management fees of $644,000 and incentive management fees of $659,000.  The Company was indebted to a subsidiary of the Manager under the Company's investment management agreement for $1.1 million, comprised of $793,000 of incentive management fees and $275,000 of expense reimbursements.  At December 31, 2011, the Company was indebted to the Manager for base management fees of $625,000.  The Company was indebted to a subsidiary of the Manager under the Company's investment management agreement for $2.2 million, comprised of $1.9 million of incentive management fees and $272,000 of expense reimbursements.

The Company had executed seven CDO transactions as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which were structured for the Company by the Manager.  Under the Management Agreement, the Manager was not separately compensated by the Company for executing these transactions and is not separately compensated for managing the CDO entities and their assets.

Relationship with LEAF Financial.LEAF Financial, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, originates and manages equipment leases and notes on behalf of the Company.

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into agreements with Lease Equity Appreciation Fund II, L.P. ("LEAF II"), pursuant to which the Company provided an $8.0 million credit facility to LEAF II, of which all $8.0 million has been funded.  The credit facility had a one year term at 12% per year, payable quarterly, and was secured by all the assets of LEAF II Receivables Funding, LLC ("LEAF Funding II"), including its entire ownership interest in LEAF II.  The Company received a 1% origination fee in connection with the establishment of the facility.  The facility originally matured on March 3, 2011 and was extended until September 3, 2011 with a 1% extension fee paid on the outstanding loan balance.  On June 3, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the maturity to February 15, 2012 and decrease the interest rate from 12% to 10% per annum resulting in a troubled-debt restructuring under current accounting guidance.  On February 15, 2012, the note was further amended to extend the maturity to February 15, 2013 with a 1% extension fee accrued and added to the amount outstanding.  The loan amount outstanding at March 31, 2012 was $7.8 million.

On November 16, 2011, the Company together with LEAF Financial and LCC, subsidiaries of Resource America, entered into the SPA with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm, and its affiliates.  In exchange for its prior interest in LCC, the Company received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 4,872 shares of newly issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock, collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis, a 26.7% interest in LCC (see Note 8).

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

On January 15, 2010, the Company loaned $2.0 million to Resource Capital Partners, Inc. ("RCP"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, so that it could acquire a 5.0% limited partnership interest in Resource Real Estate Opportunity Fund, L.P. ("RRE Opportunity Fund").  RCP is the general partner of the RRE Opportunity Fund.  The loan is secured by RCP's partnership interest in the RRE Opportunity Fund.  The promissory note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum on the unpaid principal balance.  In the event of default, interest will accrue and be payable at a rate of 5.0% in excess of the fixed rate.  Interest is payable quarterly.  Mandatory principal payments must also be made to the extent distributable cash or other proceeds from the partnership represent a return of RCP's capital.  The loan matures on January 14, 2015, and RCP has options to extend the loan for two additional 12-month periods.  No principal payments were made during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The loan balance was $1.7 million at March 31, 2012.

On June 21, 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture with an unaffiliated third-party to form CR SLH Partners, L.P. ("SLH Partners") to purchase a defaulted promissory note secured by a mortgage on a multi-family apartment building.  The Company purchased a 10% equity interest in the venture and also loaned SLH Partners $7.0 million to finance the project secured by the first mortgage lien on the property.  The Company received a commitment fee equal to 1.0% of the loan amount at the commencement of the loan.  The loan matures on September 21, 2012 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 10.0% per annum on the unpaid principal balance, payable monthly.  In the event of default, interest will accrue and be payable at a rate of 5.0% in excess of the fixed rate.  Resource Real Estate Management, LLC ("RREM"), an affiliate of Resource America, was appointed as asset manager of the venture.  RREM performs lease review and approval, debt service collection, loan workout, foreclosure, disposition and permitting, as applicable.  RREM is also responsible for engaging third parties to perform day-to-day property management, property leasing, rent collection, maintenance, and capital improvements.  RREM receives an annual asset management fee equal to 2.0% of the gross receipts generated from the property.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not repurchase any notes.

In connection with the Company's ownership of certain notes held by RREF CDO 2007-1, on June 21, 2011 the Company surrendered for cancellation, without consideration, to the trustee of RREF CDO 2007-1 the following outstanding notes, which previously eliminated in consolidation:  $7.5 million of the Class B notes, $6.5 million of the Class F notes, $6.3 million of the Class G notes and $10.6 million of the Class H notes.  The surrendered notes were cancelled by the trustee pursuant to the applicable indenture, and the obligations due under those notes were deemed extinguished.  The effect of these cancellations was to improve the CDO's performance with respect to its over-collateralization and interest coverage tests, with which it was already in compliance before the cancellation, as well as to secure the Company's long-term interest in this structured vehicle.

As a result of the Company's ownership of senior notes, both the notes repurchased subsequent to closing and those retained at the CDO's closing eliminate in consolidation.

(1) $537,000 of CMBS maturing in this category are collateralized by floating-rate loans and, as permitted under the CMBS terms, are expected to extend their maturities, because, beyond their contractual extensions which expired or will expire this year, the servicer may allow further extensions of the underlying floating rate loans.  The Company expects that the remaining $55.8 million of CMBS will either be extended or be paid in full.

(2) $6.7 million of CMBS maturing in this category are collateralized by floating-rate loans and, as permitted under the CMBS terms, are expected to extend their maturities, because, beyond their contractual extensions which expired or will expire this year, the servicer may allow further extensions of the underlying floating rate loans.  The Company expects that the remaining $53.5 million of CMBS will either be extended or be paid in full.

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

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

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

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

● the severity of the impairment;

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

● original and current credit ratings from the rating agencies;

● underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities;

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

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

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $153.0 million and $132.8 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $20.2 million and $28.7 million, respectively), of CMBS recorded at fair value.  To determine fair value, the Company uses two methods, either a dealer quote or an internal valuation model, depending upon the current level of market activity (see Note 2).  As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $153.0 million and $123.9 million, respectively, of investment securities available-for-sale were valued using dealer quotes and $0 and $8.9 million, respectively, were valued using an internal valuation model.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $28.7 million and $25.2 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $1.2 million and $3.3 million), of ABS recorded at fair value (see Note 2).  To determine their fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment on positions that supported the Company's CMBS investment.  While the Company's securities classified as available-for-sale have declined in fair value on a net basis, the Company has concluded that the declines continue to be temporary and does not believe that any of its securities classified as available-for sale were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 that had not been previously classified as such.  The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying properties in order to analyze current and projected security performance.  Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company's income approach when determining other-than-than temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal and interest indicating no impairment.

Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of mortgage principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on CMBS in the Company's investment portfolio.  At March 31, 2012, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company's CMBS by approximately $12.4 million.  At December 31, 2011, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company's CMBS by approximately $13.2 million.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the discount on the Company's ABS portfolio was $3.8 million.  There were no premiums on the Company's ABS investment portfolio.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

NOTE 8 - INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

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

The Company has a 100% interest valued at $1.5 million in the common shares (3% of the total equity) in two trusts, Resource Capital Trust I ("RCT I") and RCC Trust II ("RCT II").  The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts.  The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of either trust, nor does it have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to these trusts.  Therefore, the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust and they are not consolidated into the Company's consolidated financial statements.  The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II's common shares of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and records dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $631,000 and $882,000, respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures it issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $45,000 and $77,000, respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs.  The Company will continuously reassess as to whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS [Abstract]

INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 18- INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

A significant market risk to the Company is interest rate risk.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond the Company's control.  Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with the interest-bearing liabilities, by affecting the spread between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in the level of interest rates also can affect the value of the Company's interest-earning assets and the Company's ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets.  A decline in the value of the Company's interest-earning assets pledged as collateral for borrowings could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels.

The Company seeks to manage the extent to which net income changes as a function of changes in interest rates by matching adjustable-rate assets with variable-rate borrowings.  During periods of changing interest rates, interest rate mismatches could negatively impact the Company's consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows.  In addition, the Company mitigates the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime coupon adjustment restrictions in its investment portfolio by entering into interest rate hedging agreements such as interest rate caps and interest rate swaps.

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

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

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Investment Securities

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

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

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

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

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

Investment Interest Income Recognition

Interest income on the Company's mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities is accrued using the effective yield method based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal amount of the underlying mortgages or other assets.  Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the securities also using the effective yield method, adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments.  For an investment purchased at par, the effective yield is the contractual interest rate on the investment.  If the investment is purchased at a discount or at a premium, the effective yield is computed based on the contractual interest rate increased for the accretion of a purchase discount or decreased for the amortization of a purchase premium.  The effective yield method requires the Company to make estimates of future prepayment rates for its investments that can be contractually prepaid before their contractual maturity date so that the purchase discount can be accreted, or the purchase premium can be amortized, over the estimated remaining life of the investment.  The prepayment estimates that the Company uses directly impact the estimated remaining lives of its investments.  Actual prepayment estimates are reviewed as of each quarter end or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any material information that would lead it to believe that an adjustment is necessary.  If prepayment estimates are incorrect, the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts may have to be adjusted, which would have an impact on future income.

Allowance for Loan Loss

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

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

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

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

Investments in Real Estate

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

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

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

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

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

No impairment charges were recorded on the Company's investment in real estate or intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance which revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity.  The determination of whether the transfer of a financial asset subject to a repurchase agreement is a sale is based, in part, on whether the entity maintains effective control over the financial asset.  The amendments in this guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted.  Adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

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