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.

Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

The Company originates residential loans to be funded by permanent investors. The Company may sell or retain the right to service a loan. Mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the lower of cost or market, determined on an aggregate basis for each type of loan after the net effect of any hedging activities including interest rate lock commitments and freestanding loan-related derivatives. Market value is determined using sales commitments to permanent investors or on current market rates for loans of similar quality and type. To the extent the transfer of assets qualifies as a sale, the asset is derecognized and the gain or loss is recorded on the sale date. In the event the transfer of assets does not qualify as a sale, the transfer would be treated as a secured borrowing.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that clarifies the disclosures management must make in its interim and annual financial statement footnotes when management has determined that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). In accordance with this guidance, management’s assessment is required to be made each reporting period and should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued. In all cases, to the extent that substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is determined to be probable, management must disclose the principal conditions or events that gave rise to the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, and management’s plans that either alleviated or are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that gave rise to the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, to the extent substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is not alleviated by management’s plans, management must indicate in the footnotes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that provides for the election of a measurement alternative when a reporting entity determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a collateralized financing entity and, hence, is required to consolidate that collateralized financing entity. The measurement alternative allows a qualifying, consolidated collateralized financing entity to use the more observable of the fair value the financial assets or the fair value of financial liabilities adjusted by the carrying amount of non-financial assets, the fair value of any beneficial interests retained by the reporting entity (including those beneficial interest that represent compensation for services). Alternatively, if the measurement alternative is not elected for a qualifying, consolidated collateralized financing entity, this guidance requires that the financial assets and financial liabilities be measured in accordance with Topic 820, and any difference in the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities would be reflected in earnings and attributed to the reporting entity in the consolidated statement of income (loss). This guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting and requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement for repurchase arrangements. This amendment also requires additional disclosure for certain transactions comprising a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company expects to show assets, liabilities, income and expense gross on its consolidated financial statements and provide the additional required disclosure.    

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this update require an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections of the statement of financial position. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and new disclosures for disposal transactions of individually significant components of an entity that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Additionally, this guidance both permits and expands the disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for all disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for sale. The Company has early adopted the provisions of this guidance. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Furthermore, the guidance requires interim and annual disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the characteristics of an investment company, provides comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company and requires an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. The guidance also requires additional disclosure. This guidance was effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that began after December 15, 2013. Earlier application was prohibited. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation.

NOTE 3 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company has evaluated its securities, loans, investments in unconsolidated entities, liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing preferred securities (consisting of unsecured junior subordinated notes) and its securitizations in order to determine if the issuing entities qualify as VIEs. The Company monitors these investments and, to the extent it has determined that it owns a material investment in the current controlling class of securities of a particular entity, analyzes the entity for potential consolidation. The Company will continually analyze investments and liabilities, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such investments or liabilities are VIEs and whether such VIE should be consolidated or deconsolidated.

Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is the primary beneficiary of 10 VIEs at September 30, 2014: Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1, Whitney CLO I, RCC CRE Notes 2013, RCC CRE Notes 2014, and Moselle CLO. In performing the primary beneficiary analysis for Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1, RCC CRE Notes 2013 and RCC CRE Notes 2014, it was determined that the parties that have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to each of these VIEs and who have the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to these VIEs, are a related party group. It was then determined that the Company was the party within that group that is more closely associated to each such VIE considering the design of the VIE, the principal-agency relationship between the Company and other members of the related-party group, and the relationship and significance of the activities of the VIE to the Company compared to the other members of the related-party group.

Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1, RCC CRE Notes 2013 and RCC CRE 2014 were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities, CMBS, property available-for-sale, bank loans, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The Manager manages these entities on behalf of the Company. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of bonds, the Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted equity returns and to match the term of its assets and liabilities. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception and is continually assessed.

Moselle CLO is a European securitization in which the Company purchased a $40.0 million interest in the form of subordinate notes representing 100% of the Class 1 Subordinated Notes and 67.9% of the Class 2 subordinated Notes in February 2014. The CLO is managed by an independent third-party and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLO. Though neither the Company nor one of its related parties manages the CLO, due to certain unilateral kick-out rights within the collateral management agreement it was determined that the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Moselle CLO. Having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Moselle CLO and a financial interest that is expected to absorb both positive and negative variability in the CLO that could potentially be significant, the Company was determined to be the the primary beneficiary of Moselle CLO and, therefore, consolidated the CLO.

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

On July 9, 2014, RCC Residential together with Resource America and certain Resource America employees acquired through RCM Global a portfolio of securities from JP Morgan for $23.5 million.  The portfolio is managed by Resource America. RCC Residential contributed $15.0 million for a 63.8% membership interest. Each of the members of RCM Global will be allocated the revenue/expenses of RCM Global in accordance with its membership interest. RCM Global was determined not to be a VIE as there was sufficient equity at risk, it does not have disproportionate voting rights and its members have all of the following characteristics (1) the power to direct the activities (2) the obligation to absorb losses and (3) the right to receive residual returns. However, the Company consolidated RCM Global as a result of the Company's majority interest in it.

In September 2014, the Company contributed $17.5 million of capital to Pelium Capital for an 80.4% interest. Pelium Capital is a specialized credit opportunity fund managed by Resource America. The Company will receive 10% of the carried interest in the partnership for the first five years and can increase to 20% if the Company's capital contributions aggregate $40.0 million. Pelium Capital was determined not to be a VIE as there was sufficient equity at risk, it does not have disproportionate voting rights and its members have all of the following characteristics (1) the power to direct the activities (2) the obligation to absorb losses and (3) the right to receive residual returns. However, Pelium Capital was consolidated as a result of the Company's majority ownership and the Company's unilateral kick-out rights held. The non-controlling interest in this vehicle is owned by Resource America.

For a discussion of the Company’s securitizations (see Note 1) and for a discussion of the debt issued through the securitizations (see Note 13).

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

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

The creditors of the Company’s ten consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. However, the Company has in the past voluntarily supported two credits in one of its commercial real estate CDOs as the credits went through a restructuring in order to maximize their future cash flows. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company has provided financial support of $209,000 and $758,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company provided $69,000 and $1.9 million of financial support, respectively. The Company has provided no other financial support to any other of its VIEs nor does it have any requirement to do so, although it may choose to do so in the future to maximize future cash flows on such investments by the Company. There are no explicit arrangements that obligate the Company to provide financial support to any of its consolidated VIEs.

The following table shows the classification and carrying value of assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2014 (in thousands):

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

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs discussed below since it does not have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the following VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2014. The Company’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the “Maximum Risk Exposure” column in the table below.

LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.

On November 16, 2011, the Company together with LEAF Financial, Inc. ("LEAF Financial"), a joint venture of Resource America, and LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LCC”), another subsidiary of Resource America, entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements (collectively the “SPA”) with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm, and its affiliates (“Eos”). In exchange for its prior interests in its lease related investments, the Company received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), 4,872 shares of newly issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis assuming conversion, a 26.7% interest in LCC. The Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $36.3 million based on a third-party valuation.  The Company's fully-diluted interest in LCC assuming conversion is 28.3%. The Company’s investment in LCC was recorded at $40.2 million and $41.0 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of LCC because it does not participate in any management or portfolio decisions, holds only two of six board positions, and only controls 28.3% of the voting rights in the entity. Furthermore, Eos holds consent rights with respect to significant LCC actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, consummation of a sale of the entity, liquidation or initiating a public offering.

Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures

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

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

Resource Capital Asset Management CLOs

In February 2011, the Company purchased a company that managed bank loan assets through five CLOs. As a result, the Company became entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from these CLOs. The purchase price of $22.5 million resulted in an intangible asset that was allocated to each of the five CLOs and is amortized over the expected life of each CLO. The unamortized balance of the intangible asset was $9.9 million and $11.2 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized fee income of $1.2 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $1.2 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. With respect to four of these CLOs, the Company determined that it does not hold a controlling financial interest and, therefore, is not the primary beneficiary. One of these CLOs was substantially liquidated in February 2013. With respect to the fifth CLO, Whitney CLO I, in October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of its preferred equity. Based upon that purchase, the Company determined that it did have an obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Whitney CLO I and that a related party had the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the VIE. As a result, together with the related party, the Company had both the power to direct and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses. It was then determined that, between the Company and the related party, the Company was the party within that group that was more closely associated with Whitney CLO I because of its preferred equity interest in Whitney CLO I. The Company, therefore, consolidated Whitney CLO I. In May 2013, the Company purchased additional equity in this CLO which increased its equity ownership to 68.3% of the outstanding preferred equity of the CLO. In September 2013, the Company substantially liquidated Whitney CLO I, and, as a result, all of the assets were sold.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company made no acquisitions. The Company has two assets classified as property available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014. The Company confirmed the intent and ability to sell its office property and multi-family property in their present condition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. These properties qualified for held for sale accounting treatment upon meeting all applicable criteria on or prior to September 30, 2014, at which time the Company ceased recording depreciation and amortization. As such, the assets associated with the office property and multi-family property, with a carrying value of $9.6 million and $19.8 million, respectively, are separately classified and included in property available-for-sale on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014. However, the anticipated sale of these properties did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations and, therefore, the operations for all periods presented continue to be classified within continuing operations on the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company expects the sale of both properties to close by the end of the year. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the office property for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were gains of $48,000 and $23,000, respectively, and losses of $72,000 and $225,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

The Company's hotel property was sold in April 2014 for a gain of $3.0 million and is recorded in (loss) gain on sale of real estate on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company made no acquisitions and sold one of its multi-family properties for a gain $16.6 million, which was recorded in (loss) gain on sale of real estate on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

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 as held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales.  The Company considers factors such as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies and industry dynamics in grading its bank loans.

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

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

Residential Mortgage Loans

Residential mortgage loans are reviewed periodically for collectability in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing underlying conditions. The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period ends as held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost.

Loans Receivable - Related Party

The Company recorded a $936,000 allowance for loan loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 on a related party loan due to defaults on two individually significant credits in the related party fund holding the loan that caused an unplanned cash flow deficiency.

NOTE 11 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On October 31, 2013, the Company through its TRS, RCC Residential, completed a business combination whereby it acquired the assets of PCM, an Atlanta based company that originates and services residential mortgage loans for approximately $7.6 million in cash. As part of this transaction, a key employee of PCM was granted approximately $800,000 of the Company’s restricted stock. Any grant for employees of PCM are accounted for as compensation and are being amortized to equity compensation expense over the vesting period. Dividends declared on the stock while unvested are recorded as a general and administrative expense. Dividends declared after the stock vests will be recorded as a distribution. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $185,000 and $545,000 of amortization of the stock grants were recorded to equity compensation expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of income and $52,000 and $156,000 of expense related to dividends on unvested shares was recorded to general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. There was no such expense of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Upon acquisition of PCM, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $600,000 related to its wholesale-correspondent relationships, which have a finite life of approximately two years.

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the Company’s best estimate of fair value with any shortage under the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to gain on bargain purchase. The gain on bargain purchase resulted from the stock grant described above being accounted for as compensation under GAAP and was recorded as other income (expense) on the Company's consolidated statements of income.     

The following table sets forth the allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):

Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,233
Loans held for sale	15,021
Loans held for investment	2,071
Wholesale and correspondent relationships	600
Other assets	5,828
Total assets	24,753
Less: Liabilities assumed:
Borrowings	14,584
Other liabilities	2,165
Total liabilities	16,749
Gain on bargain purchase	391
Total cash purchase price	$	7,613

On February 27, 2014, the Company made an additional capital contribution to LCF which gave the Company majority ownership at 50.2%. As a result, the Company began consolidating the LCF joint venture. The joint venture was established for the purpose of originating and acquiring life settlement contracts through a financing facility. Although no further material purchase price adjustments for LCF are anticipated, the Company has not yet completed the process of estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on this investment. Accordingly, the Company's preliminary estimates and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as the Company completes the process. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, changes, if any, to the preliminary estimates and allocation will be reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements, retrospectively.

In February 2014, the Company purchased a $40.0 million interest in Moselle CLO, a European securitization, in the form of subordinate notes representing 100% of the Class 1 Subordinated Notes and 67.9% of the Class 2 subordinated Notes, which was accounted for as a business combination. The assets of Moselle CLO consist of European senior secured loans, U.S. senior secured loans, U.S. senior unsecured loans, U.S. second lien loans, European mezzanine loans, and a limited amount of synthetic securities and other eligible debt obligations. The CLO is managed by an independent third-party and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLO. While neither the Company nor any of its affiliates manages the CLO, due to certain unilateral kick-out rights within the collateral

management agreement, it was determined that the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Moselle CLO. Having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Moselle CLO and a financial interest that is expected to absorb both positive and negative variability in the CLO that could potentially be significant, the Company was determined to be the the primary beneficiary of Moselle CLO and, therefore, consolidated the CLO.

NOTE 12 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company expects to record amortization expense on intangible assets of approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.  The weighted average amortization period was 6.8 years and 7.7 years at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively and the accumulated amortization was $11.6 million and $12.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The 2014 Facility contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, and the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings that remain unstayed.

The 2014 Facility also contains margin call provisions relating to a decline in the market value of a security. Under these circumstances, Wells Fargo may require the Sellers to transfer cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

Under the terms of the 2014 Facility and pursuant to a guarantee agreement dated June 20, 2014 (the “2014 Guaranty”), the Company agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Wells Fargo the prompt and complete payment and performance of (a) all payment obligations owing by the Sellers to Wells Fargo under or in connection with the 2014 Facility and any other governing agreements and any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (b) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, that are incurred by Wells Fargo in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of the registrant; and (c) any other obligations of the Sellers with respect to Wells Fargo under each of the governing documents. The 2014 Guaranty includes covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's leverage and debt service ratios and require maintenance of certain levels of cash and net worth. Sellers and the Company were in compliance with all financial debt covenants under the 2014 Facility and 2014 Guaranty as of September 30, 2014.

The facility has a maximum amount of $75.0 million and a termination date of July 2, 2015.

The Wells Fargo facility contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods) customary for this type of financing arrangement, including but not limited to: payment defaults; bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; a change in the nature of PCM's business as a mortgage banker as presently conducted; breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties; performance defaults by PCM; and a judgment in an amount greater than $250,000 against PCM.

NOTE 19 - 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.

The Company’s 2014 dividends will be determined by the Company’s board of directors which will also consider the composition of any dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820-10-50-2-bbb, the Company is not required to disclose quantitative information with respect to unobservable inputs contained in fair value measurements that are not developed by the Company. As such, the Company has not disclosed such information associated with fair values obtained from third-party pricing sources. Because the Company was not able to obtain significant observable inputs and market data points due to a change in methodology whereby the Company began using a third party valuation firm to determine fair value, the Company reclassified $94.9 million of CMBS (including certain CMBS accounted for as linked transactions), to Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

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, 2014	$	10,191
Unrealized losses – included in accumulated other comprehensive income	(2,233		)
Ending balance, September 30, 2014	$	7,958

The Company had no losses included in earnings due to other-than-temporary impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The Company had $255,000 and $811,000 of losses included in earnings due to the other-than-temporary impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. These losses are included in the consolidated statements of income as net impairment losses recognized in earnings.

Loans held for sale consist of bank loans and CRE loans identified for sale due to credit concerns.  Interest on loans held for sale is recognized according to the contractual terms of the loan and included in interest income on loans.  The fair value of bank loans held for sale and impaired bank loans is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for these loans.  As such, the Company classifies these loans as nonrecurring Level 2.  For the Company’s CRE loans where there is no primary market, fair value is measured using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques and these loans are classified as nonrecurring Level 3. The amount of nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $807,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans was $69,000 and $3.1 million, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of income as provision for loan and lease 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):

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2014, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value at September 30, 2014		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Significant Unobservable Input Value
Interest rate swap agreements	$	7,958	Discounted cash flow	Weighted average credit spreads	5.12	%

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, principal paydown receivable, interest receivable, distribution payable and accrued interest expense approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets.  The fair value of the Company’s investment securities, trading (see Note 5).  The fair value of the Company’s investment securities available-for-sale (see Note 6).  The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and linked transactions is reported (see Note 21).

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

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

CDO notes are valued using the dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CDO in which the notes are held. Moselle CLO is valued using a third party pricing specialist.

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

The Company elected the fair value option for Moselle CLO upon consolidation in 2014. The fair value option was elected for this CLO due to the relative pricing visibility on both the underlying assets and the notes of the CLO. Additionally, the Company believes the fair value option also better reflects the nature and intent of management's investment in this vehicle. The Company recorded a gain of $2.2 million and $3.5 million on the fair value of loans of Moselle CLO and a loss of $2.6 million and $3.0 million on the fair value of the notes of Moselle CLO as Net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investment securities available-for-sale and loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 on the consolidated statement of income. The interest income recorded to Interest income - Loans on the consolidated income statement and the interest expense recorded to interest expense on the consolidated income statement were calculated at the coupon rate. At September 30, 2014 there were no significant gains or losses for the assets or liabilities due to credit risk.

NOTE 21 - MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

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

The Company may use various derivatives in the ordinary course of business such as interest rate swaps, forward contracts as well as interest rate lock commitments. Interest rate swap agreements are contracts between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices. Forward contracts represent future commitments to either purchase or to deliver loans, securities or a quantity of a currency at a predetermined future date, at a predetermined rate or price and are used to manage interest rate risk on loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale as well as currency risk with respect to the Company's long positions in foreign currency-denominated investment securities. Rate lock commitments represent commitments to fund loans at a specific rate and by a specified time and are used to mitigate risk of changes in interest rate in the Company's residential mortgage loan portfolio.

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.

At September 30, 2014, the Company had 10 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.12% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR.  The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $124.7 million at September 30, 2014.  The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts at such date were Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo, with which the Company had master netting agreements.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had 12 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.03% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR.  The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $129.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts are Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo with which the Company has master netting agreements.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s liability related to interest rate swaps was $8.2 million and $10.6 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $8.6 million and $10.8 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.

The Company is also exposed to currency exchange risk, a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars; however, a significant amount of the Company's capital is exposed to other currencies, primarily the euro and the pound sterling. To address this market risk, the Company generally hedges foreign currency-denominated exposures (typically investments in debt instruments, including forecasted principal and interest payments) with currency forward contracts.

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

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments. As market interest rates increase or decrease, the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and rate lock commitments will decline or increase accordingly. To offset this interest rate risk, the Company may enter into derivatives such as forward contracts to sell loans. The fair value of these forward sales contracts will change as market interest rates change, and the change in the value of these instruments is expected to largely, though not entirely, offset the change in fair value of loans held for sale and rate lock commitments. The objective of this activity is to minimize the exposure to losses on rate lock commitments and loans held for sale due to market interest rate fluctuations. The net effect of derivatives on earnings will depend on risk management activities and a variety of other factors, including market interest rate volatility, the amount of interest rate lock commitments that close, the ability to fill the forward contracts before expiration, and the time period required to close and sell loans.

During the warehousing phase of the Company’s investments in structured vehicles, the Company may enter into total return swaps to finance the Company’s exposure to assets that will ultimately be securitized. A total return swap is a swap agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset. Traditionally, the Company pays either an indexed or fixed interest payment to the warehousing lender and receives the net interest income and realized capital gains of the referenced portfolio of assets, generally loans, to be securitized that are owned and held by the warehousing lender. Upon the close of the warehousing period, the Company’s invested equity plus net interest and any capital gains realized during the warehousing period are returned to the Company. Additionally, upon the close of the securitization, the Company may purchase beneficial interests in the securitization at fair value.

The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and on the consolidated statements of income for the years presented:

Linked Transactions

The Company's linked transactions are evaluated on a combined basis, reported as forward (derivative) instruments and presented as assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The fair value of linked transactions reflect the value of the underlying CMBS, linked repurchase agreement borrowings and accrued interest payable on such instruments. The Company's linked transactions are not designated as hedging instruments and, as a result, the change in the fair value and net interest income from linked transactions is reported in other income on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

The following tables present certain information about the CMBS and repurchase agreements underlying the Company's linked transactions at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 23 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation on various matters, including disputes arising out of loans in the Company's portfolio and agreements to purchase or sell assets. Given the nature of the Company's business activities, the Company considers these to be routine in the conduct of its business. The resolution of these various matters may result in adverse judgments, fines, penalties, injunctions and other relief against the Company as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations.  Alternately, the Company may engage in settlement discussions on certain matters in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation.

The Company is unaware of any contingencies arising from such routine litigation that would require accrual or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014.

NOTE 24 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this form and determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, except the following:

The Company received $2.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of 118,351 shares of Series B preferred stock through the Company’s at-the-market program during October 2014.

In October 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase plan under which the Company may buy up to $50.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The Company has bought back 1,350,000 shares for $6.7 million through November 10, 2014.

On October 27, 2014, the Company liquidated Apidos CDO I. Proceeds from the liquidation were used to pay the notes down in full.

On October 31, 2014, the Company agreed to a modification of the terms of the Wells CRE repurchase facility agreement. The modification increases the facility maximum by $150.0 million from $250.0 million to $400.0 million and extends the facility's maturity date to August 27, 2016. The modification has also increased the facility's maximum single asset concentration limit and reduced the minimum portfolio debt yield tests requirement. The modification also reduced pricing spreads on select portfolio assets. The Company paid a structuring fee of $1.6 million upon the closing of the modification.

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.  Additionally, please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with those statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

We are a diversified real estate investment trust that is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate-related debt and equity investments. We also make other commercial finance investments. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Our objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategies.  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, an indirect wholly-owned 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, financial fund management and commercial finance operating segments.  As of September 30, 2014, Resource America managed approximately $19.4 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 securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, bank loans, middle market 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, from our residential mortgage origination business (acquired in October 2013), and from our investment in an equipment leasing business.  Historically, we have used a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns and we have financed each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage.  The cost of borrowings to finance our investments is a significant part of our expenses.  Our net income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue.  In our bank loan, CMBS and ABS portfolios, we historically have used warehouse facilities as a short-term financing source and collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, 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.

Having gained traction in 2013, the economic environment has continued to be positive in the United States during 2014, which resulted in several positive operating developments for us. Our ability to access the capital markets continued to improve, as evidenced by our Series C preferred stock offering in June 2014, resulting in net proceeds at issuance to us of $116.2 million, and by the success of our dividend reinvestment and share purchase program, or DRIP, which raised $25.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, we supplemented our common equity issuances with issuances of preferred stock through an at-the-market program which resulted in proceeds of $35.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This brought our total net proceeds raised through our capital markets efforts to $177.5 million in 2014 to date, after underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

61

Although economic conditions in the United States have improved, previous conditions in real estate and credit markets continue to affect both us and a number of our commercial real estate borrowers.  Over a period of several years, we entered into loan modifications with respect to 16 of our outstanding commercial real estate loans.  During the past 18 months, we have adjusted our provision for loan losses to reflect the effect of these conditions on our borrowers as well as, where necessary, market-related temporary adjustments to the market valuations of both CMBS and ABS in our investment portfolio.  However, during 2013 and continuing through September 30, 2014, the improved economic conditions have led to a stabilization in the credit quality of our portfolio and, as a result, our provision for loan losses has decreased significantly in 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we have a net recovery in the provision for loan losses of $1.7 million, primarily due to the successful refinancing of a commercial real estate loan position on which we had previously established a significant reserve for credit loss. Other comprehensive income saw an increase of $8.3 million due to increases in the valuation on our available for sale securities as of September 30, 2014.  While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at September 30, 2014, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions.

We have been able to establish and maintain two financing arrangements to provide capital for our growing commercial real estate lending business, as evidenced by a $400.0 million facility with Wells Fargo Bank (increased from $250.0 million on October 31, 2014) and a $200.0 million facility with Deutsche Bank Ag, or DB. We continue to engage in discussions with potential financing sources about providing or expanding commercial real estate term financing to augment and cautiously grow our loan and security portfolios. We have expanded our borrowings with the use of term and additional repurchase agreements and are using them primarily to finance newly underwritten commercial real estate loans and to purchase highly rated CMBS. We anticipate replacing these short-term borrowings with longer term financing in the form of securitization borrowings as we did in July 2014 and December 2013 with the closings of $253.9 million and $307.8 million, respectively, commercial real estate, or CRE, securitizations. We believe this indicates a marketplace recognition of our ability to originate and structure high-quality transitional commercial real estate loans. However, we caution investors that even as financing through the credit markets becomes more available, we may not be able to obtain economically favorable terms.

With respect to our investments and investment portfolio growth, we continued to see increased opportunities to deploy our capital. During 2013 and through September 30, 2014, we have underwritten 44 new CRE loans for a total of $733.9 million. These loans were in part financed through our CRE term facilities, our legacy CRE CDOs, and our new CRE securitizations.  We also purchased 20 newly underwritten CMBS for $46.9 million during the same time period all of which were financed through our Wells Fargo facility. In addition, we purchased 24 CMBS bonds for $115.0 million that were financed by short-term repurchase agreements and also purchased seven CMBS bonds for $43.9 million where no debt financing sources were utilized. 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 $3.2 million at September 30, 2014, we recognized income of approximately $888,000 in our bank loan CLO portfolio in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and expect to accrete approximately $214,000 into income for the remainder of calendar year 2014. However, we have no further capacity in three of our bank loan CLOs, and two real estate CDOs have ended their reinvestment periods. We intend to use the existing capacity in our CMBS and CRE term credit facilities with Wells Fargo of $69.7 million and $279.5 million, respectively, and with Deutsche Bank of $192.0 million, as of October 31, 2014, to help finance new CRE loans and CMBS investments.

Conversely, we also saw a decline in our commercial finance assets, as two of our bank loan CLOs were substantially liquidated in 2013 and three of our bank loan CLOs have matured and, as the collateral assets pay down, the proceeds are used to pay down the associated debt.  This trend resulted in a substantial decline in our net interest income from bank loans in 2013, which continued into the third quarter of 2014. We began to mitigate this trend by investing in new CLOs and European structured notes in late 2013 and 2014. We further expect to mitigate this trend by deploying capital into our middle-market lending business, the loans of which are similar in nature to bank loans, and in our growing commercial real estate lending platform.

Due to these developments, our increased ability to access credit markets, our recent capital markets efforts and our investment of a significant portion of our available unrestricted and restricted cash balances during 2013, we expect to continue to modestly increase our net interest income for the balance of 2014 and into 2015.  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.

On October 31, 2013, we, through RCC Residential, Inc., our newly-formed taxable REIT subsidiary, acquired a residential mortgage origination company, Primary Capital Mortgage, LLC or PCM, (formerly known as Primary Capital Advisors LLC), an Atlanta-based firm for $7.6 million in cash. In addition, a key employee of PCM was granted approximately $800,000 in shares of our common stock that was subsequently accounted for as compensation.  The shares of common stock were issued in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Of the $7.6 million cash consideration, $1.8 million was set aside in an escrow account as a contingency for potential purchase price adjustments.  Our acquisition of PCM represents a return to the residential mortgage investment market by providing us with our first residential mortgage origination platform. On June 30, 2014, we also closed a residential jumbo loan-backed securitization where we retained approximately $30.0 million of the structure's mezzanine securities. We intend to cautiously expand this business over the next 12 to 18 months while adding infrastructure, staff and new technology.

In the latter half of 2013, we seeded a middle market lending operation operated by our Manager with funds to invest on our behalf. These funds were derived from proceeds of sales from a partial liquidation of our trading portfolio. Our first investments were in bank loans purchased in the secondary market; however, in December 2013, we closed on a self-originated loan.  We made additional investments of $89.1 million in the first nine months of 2014, which is a trend we expect to continue through 2014 and into 2015 which will also help mitigate the revenues lost as a result of the liquidation and run-off of several bank loan CLOs.

As of September 30, 2014, we had invested 61% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 38% in commercial bank loans and 1% in other assets. As of December 31, 2013, we had invested 83% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 15% in commercial bank loans and 2% in other assets. We expect our portfolio to begin to rebalance in late 2014 and into 2015 as we liquidate certain legacy CLO investments and reinvest those proceeds primarily into our CRE loan origination business to begin to rebalance to a historic level of 75% in CRE assets in late 2014.

Results of Operations

Our net income allocable to common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $7.3 million or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) and $37.1 million or $0.29 per share (basic and diluted), respectively, as compared to net income allocable to common shares of $22.1 million, or $0.18 per share (basic and diluted), respectively, and $40.2 million or $0.34 per share (basic and diluted) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Aggregate interest income increased $5.4 million (19%) and decreased $981,000 (1%) to $33.8 million and $91.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $28.5 million and $92.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. respectively. We attribute these changes to the following:

Interest Income from Loans. Aggregate interest income from loans increased $2.7 million (11%) and decreased $4.9 million (6%) to $27.0 million and $73.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $24.4 million and $78.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Interest income on bank loans decreased $2.3 million (18%) and $19.4 million (43%) to $9.9 million and $26.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $12.2 million and $45.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, which principally was the result of the following:

• decreases of $260.9 million and $413.7 million in the weighted average loan balance to $705.3 million and $652.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $966.2 million and $1.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This was principally due to the liquidation of two of our CLOs, Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I, in September 2013 and October 2013, respectively. In addition, two of our remaining CLOs (Apidos CLO I and Apidos CLO III) reached the end of their reinvestment periods in prior years and, as a result, any principal collected is used to pay down notes instead of being reinvested in new assets. This decrease in the weighted average balance of assets was partially offset by our consolidation of Moselle CLO in 2014; and

• an increase for the three months ended and a decrease for the nine months ended in the weighted average yield to 5.45% and 5.14% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to 4.95% and 5.62% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increase for the three months ended was primarily as a result of the different mix of assets during the comparative periods. The decrease for the nine months ended was primarily a result of the decrease in accretion income from Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I as a result of their liquidation, as well as a decrease in accretion income from Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III resulting from decreasing loan and unamortized discount balances on loans.

Interest income on commercial real estate, or CRE, loans increased $4.9 million (40%) and $14.5 million (44%) to $17.1 million and $47.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $12.2 million and $33.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.  These increases are a result of the following combination of factors:

• increases of $369.6 million and $292.2 million in the weighted average loan balance to $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $771.9 million and $737.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as we continued to originate new loans for our CRE securitizations that closed in December 2013 and July 2014; and

• a decrease for the three months and an increase for the nine months in the weighted average yield to 5.85% and 6.41% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from 6.15% and 5.82% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease for the three months is primarily related to the lower coupon at which we are originating loans, reflecting the market competition for high credit quality loans. The increase in rate for the nine months is primarily a result of increased exit fees, and particularly from a $1.6 million exit fee collected on a legacy loan that paid off during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Interest Income from Securities.  Aggregate interest income from securities increased $1.8 million (52%) and $1.6 million (15%) to $5.2 million and $12.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $3.4 million and $10.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.  The changes in interest income from securities resulted principally from the following:

Interest income on CMBS-private placement increased $102,000 (4%) and $925,000 (11%) to $3.0 million and $9.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $2.9 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increases were the result of increases in the weighted average yield of assets to 5.73% and 5.86% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from 4.93% and 5.04% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily a result of the collection of $730,000 in interest shortfalls on a previously impaired bond during the three months ended June 30, 2014. To a lesser extent, the increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to an increase in accretion income as a result of new assets purchased at discounts.

67

The increases in the weighted average yield on CMBS-private placement were partially offset by decreases of $29.9 million and $14.7 million in the weighted average balance of assets to $207.7 million and $213.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $237.6 million and $227.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, primarily as a result of sales, payoffs and paydowns of securities during the year.

Interest income from ABS increased $1.5 million (515%) and $1.5 million143% to $1.8 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $290,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increases are a result of of the following:

• increases of $33.1 million and $15.2 million in the weighted average asset balances to $60.4 million and $42.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $27.4 million and $27.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, primarily as a result of the purchase of a portfolio of ABS through RCM Global as well as the consolidation of Moselle CLO. This increase was partially offset by asset paydowns and sales in 2013 and 2014; and

• increases in the weighted average yield during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 11.76% and 8.11%, respectively, from 4.19% and 5.19% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the weighted average coupon due to the mix of assets as a result of the purchase of a portfolio of ABS through RCM Global as well as the consolidation of Moselle CLO.

Interest income from corporate bonds decreased $103,000 (72%) and $584,000(79)% to $40,000 and $155,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $143,000 and $739,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and was the result of the liquidation of Whitney CLO I in October 2013 which held most of these securities. In October 2012 and in May 2013, we purchased of 66.6% and 1.7%, respectively, of the equity in Whitney CLO I which, at the time, resulted in us consolidating this entity that held a small portfolio of corporate bonds.

Interest Income - Other.  Aggregate interest income-other increased $968,000 (143%) and $2.3 million (72%) to $1.6 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $679,000 and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Substantially all of this increase is related to the incremental interest income provided by our investments in European structured notes purchased at the end of 2013 and in 2014.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Aggregate interest expense decreased $173,000 (1%) and $2.2 million (7%) to $11.6 million and $31.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $11.8 million and $34.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. We attribute these decreases to the following:

Interest expense on bank loans was $1.7 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $6.3 million and $17.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, decreases of $4.5 million(73%) and $12.4 million (71%), respectively. These decreases resulted from the following:

• decreases of $444.0 million and $537.4 million in the weighted average balance of the related financings to $544.6 million and $569.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $988.6 million and $1.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This was principally due to the call and liquidation of Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I in September 2013 and October 2013, respectively, which resulted in the paydown of all outstanding notes. In addition, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO reached the end of their reinvestment periods in prior years. For the period from July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014, Apidos CDO I paid down $271.7 million in principal amount of its CDO notes, Apidos CDO III paid down $178.9 million in principal amount of its CDO notes and Apidos Cinco CDO paid down $36.3 million in principal amount of its CDO notes. This was partially offset by the consolidation of Moselle CLO in 2014 and, to a lesser extent, the new financing line on our middle market loan portfolio; and

• decreases in the weighted average cost of funds to 1.19% and 1.13% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to 2.59% and 2.15% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I that had higher costs of funds and which were substantially liquidated in September 2013 and October 2013, respectively.

71

Interest expense on CRE loans was $5.1 million and $12.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $2.4 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, increases of $2.7 million (114%) and $6.1 million (94%) as a result of the following:

• increases of $286.2 million and $232.4 million in the weighted average balance of debt to $704.7 million and $637.1 million from $418.5 million and $404.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This was primarily as a result of the consolidation of RCC CRE Notes 2013, a securitization that closed in December 2013, as well as the consolidation of RCC CRE 2014, a securitization that closed in July 2014. These increases were partially offset by principal payoffs in Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, or RREF CDO 2006-1, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, or RREF CDO 2007-1, and CRE Notes 2013 as the underlying collateral paid down or paid off. From inception through September 30, 2014, the CDOs paid down a total of $280.9 million of notes; and

• increases in the weighted average cost of funds to 2.76% and 2.58% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to 2.25% and 2.13% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, which was due primarily to note paydowns of lower rate debt which increased the weighted average cost of the remainder of these borrowings.

Securitized borrowings expense decreased $316,000 (72%) and $1.9 million (86%) to $125,000 and $305,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively from $441,000 and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This interest expense was related to our subordinated investments in Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I which were liquidated in 2013. The current year's interest expense is primarily related to Moselle CLO which was consolidated in 2014.

Interest expense on 6.0% convertible senior notes was $2.2 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. In October 2013, we closed and issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.0% convertible senior notes due 2018. The discount recorded on the notes was amortized on a straight-line basis as additional interest expense through maturity.

General interest expensed decreased $142,000 (19%) and $435,000 (20%) to $605,000 and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively from $747,000 and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The decreases were the result of the sale of an investment in real estate during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the resulting pay-off of the related mortgage.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Rental income decreased $3.5 million (76%) and $8.1 million (51%) to $1.1 million and $7.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $4.6 million and $15.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The decreases are primarily related to the sale of a multi-family apartment building in September 2013 and the sale of a hotel in April 2014.

72

Equity in net earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $1.4 million (266%) and $5.6 million (625%) to earnings of $887,000 and $4.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from losses of $535,000 and $888,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increase in earnings was related to the following:

• income of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from our investment in CVC Global Credit Opportunities Fund, L.P., in which we invested $15.0 million in May 2013, driving this growth in income was primarily increases in asset valuations in the fund;

• $1.3 million and $3.2 million primarily from the sale of one and three properties, respectively, in which we owned equity interests in a real estate joint venture; and

• $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from the settlement of a loan in which we owned an equity interest.

Fee income increased $1.1 million (88%) and $3.0 million (71%) to $2.3 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $1.2 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This increase in income is primarily due to our October 2013 investment in PCM and the fees related to residential mortgage loan originations.

Net realized gains on investment securities available-for-sale and loans increased $7.0 million (1,224%) and $12.1 million (362%) to $7.5 million and $15.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $570,000 and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increases are due to the late 2013 investment in PCM and the gain on the sale of residential mortgage originations as well as the gain on sale of structured notes that generated $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities, trading increased $605,000 (264%) and decreased $970,000 (112%) to a gain of $376,000 and a loss of $1.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to losses of $229,000 and $864,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increase in the gains for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was the result of the sale at a gain of one position in the trading portfolio partially offset by the decrease in valuation on this portfolio. The increased losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are principally related to decreased marks due to current market conditions on held positions in the trading portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we sold six securities at a net gain. The increased losses for the nine months ended was partially offset by an increase in the valuation on this portfolio.    

Realized gain (loss) and net interest income on linked transactions, net, decreased $984,000 (85%) and increased $11.8 million (273%) to gains of $177,000 and $7.5 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from a gain of $1.2 million and a loss of $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily the result of the sale of assets during 2014. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is principally as a result of market pricing increases related to these positions. The amounts are related to our CMBS securities that are purchased with repurchase agreements with the same counterparty from whom the securities are purchased. These transactions are entered into contemporaneously or in contemplation of each other and are presumed not to meet sale accounting criteria. We account for these transactions on a net basis and record a forward purchase commitment to purchase securities (each, a “linked transaction”) at fair value.

(1) Total general and administrative expense per the consolidated statements of income was $11.6 million and $30.9 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respective, and $2.9 million and $8.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Management fees - related party decreased $1.5 million (29%) and $1.0 million (9%) to $3.6 million and $10.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $5.1 million and $11.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This expense represents 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:

• Base management fees increased by $466,000 (16%) and $1.0 million (12%) to $3.5 million and $9.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively as compared to $3.0 million and $8.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This increase was due to increased equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, primarily as a result of the receipt of $44.6 million of proceeds from the sales of common stock through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, or DRIP, from January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 as well as the receipt of $114.5 million from the proceeds of our April 2013 secondary common stock offering. In addition, we issued approximately 335,000 shares, 3.6 million shares and 4.8 million shares of Series A preferred stock, Series B preferred stock, and Series C preferred stock respectively, from January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014.

• Incentive management fees to our Manager, which are based upon the excess of adjusted operating earnings, as defined in the management agreement, over a variable base rate, decreased to $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease in fee is primarily as a result of a non-recurring gain on on the sale of real estate in September 2013.    

Equity compensation - related party decreased $1.3 million (62%) and $3.4 million (43%) to $798,000 and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $2.1 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months September 30, 2013, respectively. These expenses are related to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and annual and discretionary grants of restricted stock to employees of Resource America who provide investment management services to us through our Manager as well as to employees of our recently acquired residential mortgage company subsidiary. The decrease in expense was primarily the result of vestings of restricted stock as well as a decrease in our stock price and its impact on our quarterly remeasurement of the value of unvested stock of non-employees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Rental operating expense decreased $2.8 million (80%) and $5.9 million (53%) to $695,000 to $5.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $3.5 million and $11.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and is primarily related to the sale of a multi-family apartment building in September 2013 and a hotel property in April 2014.

74

General and administrative expense - Corporate increased $737,000 (25%) and $2.5 million (28%) to $3.6 million and $11.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $2.9 million and $8.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increases are primarily the result of the following:

• increases of $394,000 and $695,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively related to additional headcount and corresponding payroll reimbursed to our manager;

• increase of $900,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively related to administrative expenses on the sale of a hotel in April 2014; and

• increase of $457,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively related to additional professional services being incurred.

General and administrative expense - PCM was $8.0 million and $19.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively and is related to the acquisition of PCM, a residential mortgage and servicing origination business that we acquired in October 2013. Expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 as a result of an increase in mortgage loan origination volume.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $342,000 (38%) and $883,000 (29%) to $562,000 and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from $904,000 and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The decreases are primarily the result of the sale of a multi-family property in September 2013 and the classification of a hotel property to held-for-sale as of January 31, 2014 and the ceasing of depreciation of the related asset at that time.

Income tax (benefit) expense decreased $959,000 (133%) and $4.9 million (116%) to benefits of $237,000 and $667,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to expenses of $722,000 and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to Apidos VIII in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 which was substantially liquidated in September 2013 and, therefore, no longer generating income tax expense. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the accumulated losses on PCM generated a tax benefit. Finally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2104, valuations on our trading portfolio decreased, generating a tax benefit as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, when the marks were higher and generated an estimated tax expense.

Our provision (recovery) for loan losses increased $698,000 (94%) and decreased $2.3 million (421%) to a provision of $1.4 million and a recovery of $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to a provision of of $741,000 and $541,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The following table summarizes the information relating our loan losses for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2014			2013		2014			2013
CRE loan portfolio	$	803		$	69	$	(3,708	)	$	2,017

Loans receivable - related party	236			—		936			—
Total provision for loan losses	$	1,439		$	741	$	(1,739	)	$	541

CRE Loan Portfolio Provision

The principal reason for the the increase in provision during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, was related to costs to settle a loan during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that was previously impaired. The principal reason for the increase in recovery during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was that we reversed $4.5 million of reserves on a position during the three months ended March 31, 2014 because the mezzanine loan was paid off in full.

Bank Loan Portfolio Provision

The bank loan provision decreased by $246,000 and increased by $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to a provisions of $426,000 and $1.0 million, respectively as compared to a provision of $672,000 and a recovery of $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The principal reason for the

75

increase in the provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to increased provision related to positions subsequently sold for credit reasons at a loss that adjusted the provision directly for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Loans Receivable - Related Party

The loans receivable - related party provision was $236,000 and $936,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to unplanned cash flow deficiencies on two individually significant credits in the fund whose future recovery is deemed improbable.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Loss on the re-issuance of debt is related to the sale of previously repurchased debt notes in our commercial real estate CDO’s that were resold at slightly less than par and resulted in losses of $1.9 million and$2.5 millionfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Other expense of $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is related to the revaluation of our equity position in life settlement contracts.

(Loss) gain on sale of real estate of $69,000 and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively is primarily related to the sale of our hotel property in April 2014. (Loss) gain on sale of real estate of $16.6 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 is primarily related to the sale of a multi-family apartment building. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we entered into a listing agreement for this property. The sale settled on September 30, 2013.

Financial Condition

Summary.

Our total assets were $2.6 billion at September 30, 2014 and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2013.  The increase in total assets was principally due to the increase in CRE and CMBS investments as well as the acquisition of a controlling interest in a CLO, which resulted in the consolidation of its bank loans and ABS on our financial statements.

Investment Portfolio.

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

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement.  In the aggregate, we purchased our CMBS-private placement portfolio at a net discount.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $4.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the remaining premium to be amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $760,000 and $645,000, respectively. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.

We had no losses included in earnings due to other-than-temporary impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. We had $255,000 and $276,000 of losses included in earnings due to the other-than-temporary impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, on positions that supported our CMBS investments.

Securities classified as available-for-sale have increased on a net basis as of September 30, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 primarily due to new assets acquired through the consolidation of Moselle CLO. We perform an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance.  Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to our income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal.

(1) Whole loans had $68.3 million and $13.7 million in unfunded loan commitments as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  These unfunded commitments are advanced as the borrowers formally request additional funding as permitted under the loan agreement and any necessary approvals have been obtained.

(2) The total does not include an allowance for loan loss of $4.0 million and $10.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

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

(4) As of September 30, 2014, floating rate whole loans includes $4.0 million and $12.0 million of mezzanine components of two whole loans, which have a fixed rate of 15.0% and 12.0%, respectively.

(5) Floating rate whole loans include a $799,000 junior mezzanine tranche of a whole loan that had a fixed rate of 10.0% as of September 30, 2014.

(6) Fixed rate mezzanine loans include a mezzanine loan that was modified into two tranches, which both currently pay interest at 0.48%. In addition, the subordinate tranche accrues interest at LIBOR plus 18.50% which is deferred until maturity.

Bank Loans.  At September 30, 2014, our consolidated securitizations, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, and Moselle CLO as well as our subsidiary Northport TRS LLC held a total of $669.9 million of bank loans at fair value.  The bank loans held by the securitizations secure the CDO notes they issued and are not available to satisfy the claims of our creditors.  The bank loans held by Northport TRS, LLC serve to collateralize its senior secured revolving credit agreement. The aggregate fair value of bank loans held increased by $107.0 million over the fair value at December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition and consolidation of Moselle CLO during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as well as increased originations and purchase production in our middle market lending platform.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

We use a risk grading matrix to assign grades to bank loans.  We grade loans at inception and continually update the assigned grades as we receive new information.  We grade loans on a scale of 1-5 with 1 representing our highest rating and 5 representing our lowest rating.  We consider such factors as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies, and industry dynamics.

All of our bank loans were performing with the exception of two loans with an amortized cost of $1.4 million as of September 30, 2014. Due to the consolidation of Moselle CLO in February 2014, we acquired four loans with deteriorated credit quality with an amortized cost of $86,000 as of September 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, all of our bank loans were performing with the exception of three loans with an amortized cost of $3.6 million, one of which defaulted as of 2012, one of which defaulted as of March 31, 2013 and one of which defaulted as of June 30, 2013.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

We use a risk grading matrix to assign grades to commercial real estate loans.  We grade loans at inception and continually update the assigned grades as we receive new information.  We grade loans on a scale of 1-4 with 1 representing our highest rating and 4 representing our lowest rating.  We designate loans that are sold after the period end at the lower of fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales. In addition to the underlying performance of the loan collateral, we consider such factors as the strength of underlying sponsorship, payment history, collectability of interest, structural credit enhancements, market trends and loan terms in grading our commercial real estate loans.

All of our commercial real estate loans were current as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Residential Mortgage Loans

We review residential mortgage loans periodically for collectability in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing underlying conditions. We also record loans that are sold after the period end as being held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost.

Loans Receivable - Related Party

We recorded a $936,000 allowance for loan loss on a related party loan due to a default on two individually significant credits in the fund that caused an unplanned cash flow deficiency.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made no acquisitions. We had two assets classified as property available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014. We confirmed the intent and ability to sell our office property and multi-family property in their present condition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. These properties qualified for held for sale accounting treatment upon meeting all applicable criteria on or prior to September 30, 2014, at which time we ceased recording depreciation and amortization with respect to them. As such, the assets associated with the office property and multi-family property, with a carrying value of $9.6 million and $19.8 million respectively, are separately classified and included in property available-for-sale on our consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014. However, the anticipated sale of these properties did not qualify for discontinued operations and, therefore, the operations for all periods presented continue to be classified within continuing operations on our consolidated statements of income. We expect the sale of both properties to close by the end of the year. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the office property for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were net income of $48,000 and $23,000, respectively, and net losses of $72,000 and $225,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the multi-family property for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was net income of $119,000 and a net loss of $4,000, respectively, and a net loss of $93,000 and net income of $13,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Our hotel property was sold in April 2014 for a gain of $3.0 million and is recorded in (loss) gain on sale of real estate on our consolidated statements of income.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we made no acquisitions and sold one of our multi-family properties for a gain of $16.6 million, which was recorded in (loss) gain on sale of real estate on our consolidated statements of income.

Restricted Cash

At September 30, 2014, we had restricted cash of $83.6 million, which consisted of $80.6 million of restricted cash held by our ten securitizations, $907,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio, $814,000 held in restricted accounts at our investment properties and $1.2 million held primarily in a pledged account at our subsidiary, PCM.  At December 31, 2013, we had restricted cash of $63.3 million, which consisted of $61.4 million of restricted cash on our eight securitizations, $771,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio, $847,000 held in restricted accounts at our investment properties and $318,000 held primarily in a pledged account at our subsidiary, PCM.  The increase of $20.3 million is primarily related to new loan settlements in our CDOs, which were a result of the use of restricted cash available for reinvestment prior to the expiration of the reinvestment period.

Interest Receivable

At September 30, 2014, we had interest receivable of $14.8 million, which consisted of $14.8 million of interest on our securities and loans and $6,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts.  At December 31, 2013, we had interest receivable of $9.0 million, which consisted of $9.0 million of interest on our securities and loans and $6,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts.  The increase resulted primarily from an increase in interest receivable on mezzanine loans of $2.9 million, an increase in interest receivable on structured notes of $2.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest receivable on CMBS of $151,000, and a decrease in interest receivables on bank loans of $225,000.

RMBS – Term Repurchase Facility

In June 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, RCC Residential Portfolio, Inc. and RCC Residential Portfolio TRS entered into a master repurchase and securities contract with Wells Fargo to be used as a warehouse facility to finance the purchase of highly-rated RMBS.  The maximum amount of the 2014 Facility is $285.0 million which had an original one year term and a maximum interest rate of 1.45% plus a 4.00% pricing margin.  We guaranteed RCC Residential Portfolio, Inc. and RCC Residential Portfolio TRS Inc.'s performance of its obligations under the repurchase agreement.

CRE – Term Repurchase Facilities

On February 27, 2012, RCC Real Estate entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with Wells Fargo to finance the origination of commercial real estate loans.  The facility had a maximum amount of $250.0 million with a maturity of February 27, 2015 at September 30, 2014. On October 31, 2014, we agreed to a modification of the terms of the Wells CRE repurchase facility agreement. The modification increases the facility maximum by $150.0 million to $400.0 million and extends the facility's maturity date to August 27, 2016 with two optional one-year extensions. The modification has also increased the facility's maximum single asset concentration limit, reduced the minimum portfolio debt yield tests requirement, and reduced pricing spreads on select portfolio assets. We paid a structuring fee of $1.6 million upon the closing of the modification.

On July 19, 2013, RCC Real Estate's wholly-owned subsidiary, RCC Real Estate SPE 5 LLC, entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, Cayman Islands Branch to finance the origination of commercial real estate loans. The facility has a maximum amount of $200.0 million and an initial 12 month term that ended on July 19, 2014.

5's discretion. The facility's current termination date is July 19, 2015. We guaranteed RCC Real Estate SPE 5's performance of its obligations under the facility.

Residential Mortgage Financing Agreements

On February 17, 2011, PCM entered into a master repurchase agreement with New Century Bank d/b/a Customer's Bank to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans. The facility has a maximum amount of $30.0 million with a termination date of August 30, 2015, which was extended from the original terms over the course of seven amendments.

PCM has a loan participation agreement with ViewPoint Bank, NA to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2014, PCM received a waiver from ViewPoint Bank on a covenant related to their loan participation agreement due to an event of default that requires PCM to maintain consolidated net income of at least one dollar for the preceding twelve month period, and not allow PCM's consolidated net income to be a negative number for three consecutive months. The waiver removed all existing defaults and waived the net income covenant requirement until September 30, 2014. PCM is in compliance with all financial covenants under the agreement as of September 30, 2014.

In July 2014, PCM entered into a master repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, NA, to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans. The facility has a maximum amount of $75.0 million and a termination date of July 2, 2015. The facility bears interest at one month LIBOR plus 3.00%.

At September 30, 2014, PCM received a waiver from Wells Fargo Bank, NA on covenants that requires PCM to maintain a combined loan-to-value ratio of at least 75% and a minimum adjusted tangible net worth of $30 million.The waiver removed all existing defaults and waived the required covenants as of September 30, 2014. PCM is in compliance with all other covenants under the agreement as of September 30, 2014.

Securitizations

As of September 30, 2014, we had executed eight and retained equity in seven securitizations. Pertinent information about our securitizations that occurred during the first three quarters of 2014 is as follows:

• In February 2014, we acquired the rights to manage the assets held by Moselle CLO S.A. We purchased 100% of the Class 1 Subordinated notes and 67.9% of the Class 2 Subordinated notes. All of the notes issued mature on January 6, 2020. We have the right to call the notes anytime after January 6, 2010 until maturity. The weighted average interest rate on all notes was 1.19% at September 30, 2014. The reinvestment period for Moselle CLO S.A. ended in January 2012.

• In July 2014, we closed RCC CRE 2014, a $353.9 million CRE securitization transaction that provided financing for transitional CRE loans. The investments held by RCC CRE 2014 collateralized $235.3 million of senior notes issued by the securitization, of which RCC Real Estate, a subsidiary of ours, purchased 100% of the Class C senior notes for $17.7 million at closing. Additionally, RREF 2014-CRE2 Investor, LLC, an subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased as $100.9 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At September 30, 2014, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 1.44%. There is no reinvestment period for RCC CRE 2014, which will result in the sequential paydown of notes as the underlying collateral matures and pays down. As of September 30, 2014, none of the securitization's notes have been paid down.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

In September 2014, we closed a $110.0 million syndicated senior secured revolving credit facility through Northport TRS, LLC ("Northport LLC"). On September 30, 2014, the accordion feature of the facility was exercised and an additional $15.0 million was secured through the addition of Customer's Bank to the syndicate, bringing the effective commitment to $125.0 million. The facility bears interest at optional rates as either the Prime Rate or LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate as base rates, plus a spread and applicable margin of either 1.50% or 2.50%. We guaranteed Northport LLC's performance of its obligations under this agreement.

Equity

Total equity at September 30, 2014 was $943.9 million and gave effect to $8.6 million of unrealized losses on our cash flow hedges and $12.5 million of unrealized gains on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.  Equity at December 31, 2013 was $773.9 million and gave the effect to $11.2 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges and $3.1 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The increase in equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was principally due to the proceeds from the initial issuance of Series C 8.625% Preferred Stock, proceeds from sales of our common stock through our DRIP, as well as sales of Series A 8.50% Preferred Stock and Series B 8.25% Preferred Stock through our at-the market program.

Funds from Operations

We evaluate our performance based on several performance measures, including funds from operations, or FFO, and adjusted funds from operations ("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 operating performance.  We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO the impact of non-cash accounting items as well as the effects of items that we deem to be non-recurring in nature.  We deem transactions to be non-recurring if a similar transaction has not occurred in the past two years, and if we do not expect a similar transaction to occur in the next two years.  We adjust for these non-cash and non-recurring items to analyze our ability to produce cash flow from on-going operations, which we use to pay dividends to our shareholders. Non-cash adjustments to FFO include the following:  impairment losses resulting from fair value adjustments on financial instruments; provisions for loan losses; equity investment gains and losses; straight-line rental effects; share based compensation expense; amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets; gains on sales of property that are wholly owned or owned through a joint venture; the cash impact of capital expenditures that are related to our real estate owned; and REIT tax planning adjustments, which primarily relate to accruals for owned properties for which we made a foreclosure election and adjustments to tax estimates with respect to the final resolution of foreclosed property when it is listed for sale. In addition, we calculate AFFO by adding and subtracting from FFO the realized cash impacts of the following: extinguishment of debt, reissuances of debt, sales of property and capital expenditures.

Management believes that FFO and AFFO are appropriate measures of our operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs.  Management uses FFO and AFFO as measures of its operating performance, and believes 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 the Company's operating performance between periods.

While our calculations of AFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by other REITs and our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare 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 GAAP 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

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity were net proceeds from the June offering of our 8.625% Series C Preferred Stock of $116.2 million, $35.9 million from the sale of our 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock and 8.50% Series A Preferred Stock through our ATM program, funds available in existing CDO financings of $83.6 million and cash flow from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we also received $25.4 million of sale proceeds from our common stock DRIP, all of which are included in our $163.3 million of unrestricted cash at September 30, 2014.  In addition, we had capital available through a CMBS term facility to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities of $73.3 million and two CRE term facilities for the origination of commercial real estate loans of $202.1 million and $192.0 million.  As of December 31, 2013, our principal sources of current liquidity were proceeds from the sale of common stock through our DRIP, and proceeds from sales of our 8.5% Series A Preferred Stock and 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock through our ATM program, funds available in existing CDO financings of $78.5 million and cash flow from operations.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, we received $73.0 million of DRIP proceeds and $43.1 million of preferred stock sales proceeds, the remainder of which are included in our $85.3 million of unrestricted cash at December 31, 2013.  In addition, as of September 30, 2014, we had capital available through two CRE term facilities to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities and the origination of commercial real estate loans of $45.3 million and $90.9 million, respectively. 

In October 2013, we closed and issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018. We received net proceeds of approximately $111.1 million after payment of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, all of which is included in our $163.3 million of unrestricted cash at September 30, 2014.

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 September 30, 2014, 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.

(10) Resource Capital Corp. CRE Notes 2013 ("RCC CRE Notes 2013") closed on December 23, 2013; the first distribution was in January 2014. There is no reinvestment period for the securitization. Additionally, the indenture contains no coverage tests.

(11) Resource Capital Corp. 2014-CRE2 ("RCC CRE 2014") closed on July 30, 2014; the first distribution was in August 2014. There is no reinvestment period for the securitization. Additionally, the indenture contains no coverage tests.

(12) Moselle CLO S.A. was acquired on February 24, 2014; the first distribution was in April 2014. The reinvestment period for this securitization expired prior to the acquisition of this securitization.

At October 31, 2014, after paying our third quarter 2014 common and preferred stock dividends, our liquidity is derived from three primary sources:

• unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $79.5 million, restricted cash of $500,000 in margin call accounts and $2.1 million in the form of real estate escrows, reserves and deposits;

• capital available for reinvestment in one of our CRE CDO's of $250,000 and one of our CRE securitizations of $3.0 million, all of which is designated to finance future funding commitments on CRE loans; and

• loan principal repayments of $45.8 million that will pay down outstanding CLO notes balances as well as interest collections of $3.8 million.

In addition, RSO has funds available through two term financing facilities to finance the origination of CRE loans of $279.5 million and $192.0 million and funds available through a term financing facility to finance the purchase of CMBS of $69.7 million.

Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use.  As of both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our leverage ratio was 1.7 times.  While we had repayments of CDO notes and received equity offering proceeds through our offering of Series C preferred stock and sales though our preferred stock ATM program and common stock DRIP, which reduced our leverage ratios, these were offset by increased borrowings due to our consolidation of Moselle CLO and advances under our Wells Fargo CRE, Deutsche Bank CRE term financing facilities and Deutsche Bank CMBS short-term repurchase agreements.

Distributions

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid corporate-level income tax on our income, 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.

(1) Contractual commitments do not include $1.9 million, $0.8 million, $4.6 million, and $6.8 million of interest expense payable through the stated maturity dates of May 2015, May 2015, August 2016, and June 2017, respectively, on Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO III, RREF 2006-1, and RREF 2007-1.  The maturity date represents the time at which the CDO assets can be sold, resulting in repayment of the CDO notes.

101

(2) Contractual commitments include $86,000 of interest expense payable through the maturity date on our repurchase agreements.

(3) Contractual commitments do not include $43.8 million and $44.7 million of estimated interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036, respectively, on our trust preferred securities.

(4) Contractual commitments do not include $29.2 million of interest expense payable through the maturity date of December 1, 2018 on our 6.0% convertible senior notes.

(5) Unfunded commitments on our originated CRE loans generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional loan interest income on the advanced amount.

(6) The financing or credit agreements on our originated middle market loans, in some cases, allow for subsequent advances.  All advances require compliance with the contractual criteria and terms as specifically described in the individual financing or credit agreement, and therefore are subject to the approval of the appropriate portfolio manager.  Loans earn income, typically in the form of interest and fees, as specifically outlined in the documentation of each loan. 

(7) 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 September 30, 2014, we had ten interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $124.7 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 September 30, 2014, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 5.12% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 0.15%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

General

As of September 30, 2014, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes, although we do have interests in unconsolidated entities not established for those purposes. Except as set forth below, as of September 30, 2014, we had not guaranteed obligations of any such unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Unfunded Commercial Real Estate Loan Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to borrowers whose loans are in our commercial real estate loan portfolio to provide additional loan funding in the future. These commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments is subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria. Upon disbursement of funds, we receive loan interest income on any such advanced funds. As of September 30, 2014, we had 29 loans with unfunded commitments totaling $68.2 million, of which $3.3 million will be funded by restricted cash in RCC CRE Notes 2013 and $250,000 will be funded by restricted cash in RREF CDO 2007-1; we intend to fund the remaining $64.7 million through cash flow from normal operating activities and principal repayments on other loans in our portfolio. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting requirements and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Unfunded Middle Market Loan Commitments

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we began originating middle-market loans in RCC Commercial, Inc and Resource TRS, LLC. In September 2014, RCC Commercial and Resource TRS, LLC transferred all loans to a newly formed entity, Northport LLC. Resource America is paid origination fees in connection with our middle-market lending operations, where fees may not exceed 2% of the loan balance for any loan originated. The executed agreements between us and borrowers within our portfolio contain commitments to provide additional loan funding in the future. These commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) revolving credit facility; and (2) additional notes commitments. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments are subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria and in some instances at our discretion. Upon disbursement of funds, we receive loan interest income on any such advanced funds. As of September 30, 2014, we had four loans with unfunded commitments totaling $26.7 million, all of which would be funded by RCC Commercial, Inc. We intend to fund these commitments through cash flow from normal operating activities. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

ITEM 3 . QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of September 30, 2014, 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 fair value of our assets. We face the risk that the fair value of our assets will increase or decrease at different rates than that of our liabilities, including our hedging instruments.

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

The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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):

	September 30, 2014
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement (1):
Fair value	$	188,872		$	191,814		$	194,846
Change in fair value	$	(2,942	)				$	3,032
Change as a percent of fair value	1.53		%				1.58		%
Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(6,082	)	$	(8,235	)	$	(9,679	)
Change in fair value	$	2,153					$	(1,444	)
Change as a percent of fair value	(26.15		)%				(17.53		)%

	December 31, 2013
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement (1):
Fair value	$	247,630		$	255,670		$	264,267
Change in fair value	(8,040		)	—			8,597
Change as a percent of fair value	3.14		%	—		%	3.36		%
Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(12,545	)	$	(10,586	)	$	(7,435	)
Change in fair value	(1,959		)	—			3,151
Change as a percent of fair value	18.51		%	—		%	29.77		%

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

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

103

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

Risk Management

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

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

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

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control of Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) In connection with a grant of restricted common stock made on August 25, 2011, the Company agreed to issue up to 336,000 additional shares of common stock if certain loan origination performance thresholds were achieved by personnel from the Company’s loan origination team.  The performance criteria were measured at the end of three annual measurement periods beginning April 1, 2011.  The agreement also provided dividend equivalent rights pursuant to which the dividends that would have been paid on the shares had they been issued on the date of grant were paid at the end of each annual measurement period if the performance criteria were met.  If the performance criteria were not met, the accrued dividends were forfeited.  As a consequence, the Company did not record the dividend equivalent rights until earned.  On March 30, 2014, the third annual measurement period ended and $112,000 shares were earned.  In addition, $258,000 of accrued dividend equivalent rights were earned.  

(2) All shares were issued from the 2007 Plan with the exception of these shares which were issued from unregistered shares as part of the consideration for the purchase of PCM.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

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.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that clarifies the disclosures management must make in its interim and annual financial statement footnotes when management has determined that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). In accordance with this guidance, management’s assessment is required to be made each reporting period and should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued. In all cases, to the extent that substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is determined to be probable, management must disclose the principal conditions or events that gave rise to the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, and management’s plans that either alleviated or are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that gave rise to the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, to the extent substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is not alleviated by management’s plans, management must indicate in the footnotes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that provides for the election of a measurement alternative when a reporting entity determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a collateralized financing entity and, hence, is required to consolidate that collateralized financing entity. The measurement alternative allows a qualifying, consolidated collateralized financing entity to use the more observable of the fair value the financial assets or the fair value of financial liabilities adjusted by the carrying amount of non-financial assets, the fair value of any beneficial interests retained by the reporting entity (including those beneficial interest that represent compensation for services). Alternatively, if the measurement alternative is not elected for a qualifying, consolidated collateralized financing entity, this guidance requires that the financial assets and financial liabilities be measured in accordance with Topic 820, and any difference in the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities would be reflected in earnings and attributed to the reporting entity in the consolidated statement of income (loss). This guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting and requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement for repurchase arrangements. This amendment also requires additional disclosure for certain transactions comprising a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company expects to show assets, liabilities, income and expense gross on its consolidated financial statements and provide the additional required disclosure.    

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this update require an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections of the statement of financial position. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and new disclosures for disposal transactions of individually significant components of an entity that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Additionally, this guidance both permits and expands the disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for all disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for sale. The Company has early adopted the provisions of this guidance. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Furthermore, the guidance requires interim and annual disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the characteristics of an investment company, provides comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company and requires an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. The guidance also requires additional disclosure. This guidance was effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that began after December 15, 2013. Earlier application was prohibited. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 21 - MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

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

The Company may use various derivatives in the ordinary course of business such as interest rate swaps, forward contracts as well as interest rate lock commitments. Interest rate swap agreements are contracts between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices. Forward contracts represent future commitments to either purchase or to deliver loans, securities or a quantity of a currency at a predetermined future date, at a predetermined rate or price and are used to manage interest rate risk on loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale as well as currency risk with respect to the Company's long positions in foreign currency-denominated investment securities. Rate lock commitments represent commitments to fund loans at a specific rate and by a specified time and are used to mitigate risk of changes in interest rate in the Company's residential mortgage loan portfolio.

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.

At September 30, 2014, the Company had 10 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.12% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR.  The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $124.7 million at September 30, 2014.  The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts at such date were Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo, with which the Company had master netting agreements.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had 12 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.03% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR.  The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $129.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts are Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo with which the Company has master netting agreements.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s liability related to interest rate swaps was $8.2 million and $10.6 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $8.6 million and $10.8 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.

The Company is also exposed to currency exchange risk, a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars; however, a significant amount of the Company's capital is exposed to other currencies, primarily the euro and the pound sterling. To address this market risk, the Company generally hedges foreign currency-denominated exposures (typically investments in debt instruments, including forecasted principal and interest payments) with currency forward contracts.

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

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments. As market interest rates increase or decrease, the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and rate lock commitments will decline or increase accordingly. To offset this interest rate risk, the Company may enter into derivatives such as forward contracts to sell loans. The fair value of these forward sales contracts will change as market interest rates change, and the change in the value of these instruments is expected to largely, though not entirely, offset the change in fair value of loans held for sale and rate lock commitments. The objective of this activity is to minimize the exposure to losses on rate lock commitments and loans held for sale due to market interest rate fluctuations. The net effect of derivatives on earnings will depend on risk management activities and a variety of other factors, including market interest rate volatility, the amount of interest rate lock commitments that close, the ability to fill the forward contracts before expiration, and the time period required to close and sell loans.

During the warehousing phase of the Company’s investments in structured vehicles, the Company may enter into total return swaps to finance the Company’s exposure to assets that will ultimately be securitized. A total return swap is a swap agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset. Traditionally, the Company pays either an indexed or fixed interest payment to the warehousing lender and receives the net interest income and realized capital gains of the referenced portfolio of assets, generally loans, to be securitized that are owned and held by the warehousing lender. Upon the close of the warehousing period, the Company’s invested equity plus net interest and any capital gains realized during the warehousing period are returned to the Company. Additionally, upon the close of the securitization, the Company may purchase beneficial interests in the securitization at fair value.

Linked Transactions

The Company's linked transactions are evaluated on a combined basis, reported as forward (derivative) instruments and presented as assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The fair value of linked transactions reflect the value of the underlying CMBS, linked repurchase agreement borrowings and accrued interest payable on such instruments. The Company's linked transactions are not designated as hedging instruments and, as a result, the change in the fair value and net interest income from linked transactions is reported in other income on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

The following tables present certain information about the CMBS and repurchase agreements underlying the Company's linked transactions at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820-10-50-2-bbb, the Company is not required to disclose quantitative information with respect to unobservable inputs contained in fair value measurements that are not developed by the Company. As such, the Company has not disclosed such information associated with fair values obtained from third-party pricing sources. Because the Company was not able to obtain significant observable inputs and market data points due to a change in methodology whereby the Company began using a third party valuation firm to determine fair value, the Company reclassified $94.9 million of CMBS (including certain CMBS accounted for as linked transactions), to Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

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, 2014	$	10,191
Unrealized losses – included in accumulated other comprehensive income	(2,233		)
Ending balance, September 30, 2014	$	7,958

The Company had no losses included in earnings due to other-than-temporary impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The Company had $255,000 and $811,000 of losses included in earnings due to the other-than-temporary impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. These losses are included in the consolidated statements of income as net impairment losses recognized in earnings.

Loans held for sale consist of bank loans and CRE loans identified for sale due to credit concerns.  Interest on loans held for sale is recognized according to the contractual terms of the loan and included in interest income on loans.  The fair value of bank loans held for sale and impaired bank loans is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for these loans.  As such, the Company classifies these loans as nonrecurring Level 2.  For the Company’s CRE loans where there is no primary market, fair value is measured using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques and these loans are classified as nonrecurring Level 3. The amount of nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $807,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans was $69,000 and $3.1 million, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of income as provision for loan and lease 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
As of September 30, 2014
Assets:
Loans held for sale	$	—	$	36,674	$	54,708	$	91,382
Impaired loans	—		893		—		893

Impaired loans	—		225		—		225
Total assets at fair value	$	—	$	7,075	$	15,066	$	22,141

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2014, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value at September 30, 2014		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Significant Unobservable Input Value
Interest rate swap agreements	$	7,958	Discounted cash flow	Weighted average credit spreads	5.12	%

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, principal paydown receivable, interest receivable, distribution payable and accrued interest expense approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets.  The fair value of the Company’s investment securities, trading (see Note 5).  The fair value of the Company’s investment securities available-for-sale (see Note 6).  The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and linked transactions is reported (see Note 21).

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

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

CDO notes are valued using the dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CDO in which the notes are held. Moselle CLO is valued using a third party pricing specialist.

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

The Company elected the fair value option for Moselle CLO upon consolidation in 2014. The fair value option was elected for this CLO due to the relative pricing visibility on both the underlying assets and the notes of the CLO. Additionally, the Company believes the fair value option also better reflects the nature and intent of management's investment in this vehicle. The Company recorded a gain of $2.2 million and $3.5 million on the fair value of loans of Moselle CLO and a loss of $2.6 million and $3.0 million on the fair value of the notes of Moselle CLO as Net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investment securities available-for-sale and loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 on the consolidated statement of income. The interest income recorded to Interest income - Loans on the consolidated income statement and the interest expense recorded to interest expense on the consolidated income statement were calculated at the coupon rate. At September 30, 2014 there were no significant gains or losses for the assets or liabilities due to credit risk.

The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are reported in the following table (in thousands):

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 as held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales.  The Company considers factors such as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies and industry dynamics in grading its bank loans.

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

	Rating 1		Rating 2		Rating 3		Rating 4		Rating 5		Held for Sale		Total
As of September 30, 2014
Bank loans	$	632,588	$	—	$	6,173	$	—	$	1,437	$	36,674	$	676,872

All of the Company’s bank loans were performing with the exception of two loans with an amortized cost of $1.4 million as of September 30, 2014. Due to the consolidation of Moselle CLO in February 2014, the Company acquired four loans with deteriorated credit quality with an amortized cost of $86,000 as of September 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, all of the Company's bank loans were performing with the exception of three loans with an amortized cost of $3.6 million, one of which defaulted as of 2012, one of which defaulted as of March 31, 2013 and one of which defaulted as of June 30, 2013.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign grades to commercial real estate loans.  Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received.  Loans are graded on a scale of 1-4 with 1 representing the Company’s highest rating and 4 representing its lowest rating.  The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period ends 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 factors such as the strength of underlying sponsorship, payment history, collectability of interest, structural credit enhancements, market trends and loan terms in grading its commercial real estate loans.

All of the Company’s commercial real estate loans were current as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Residential Mortgage Loans

Residential mortgage loans are reviewed periodically for collectability in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing underlying conditions. The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period ends as held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost.

Loans Receivable - Related Party

The Company recorded a $936,000 allowance for loan loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 on a related party loan due to defaults on two individually significant credits in the related party fund holding the loan that caused an unplanned cash flow deficiency.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

NOTE 3 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company has evaluated its securities, loans, investments in unconsolidated entities, liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing preferred securities (consisting of unsecured junior subordinated notes) and its securitizations in order to determine if the issuing entities qualify as VIEs. The Company monitors these investments and, to the extent it has determined that it owns a material investment in the current controlling class of securities of a particular entity, analyzes the entity for potential consolidation. The Company will continually analyze investments and liabilities, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such investments or liabilities are VIEs and whether such VIE should be consolidated or deconsolidated.

Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is the primary beneficiary of 10 VIEs at September 30, 2014: Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1, Whitney CLO I, RCC CRE Notes 2013, RCC CRE Notes 2014, and Moselle CLO. In performing the primary beneficiary analysis for Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1, RCC CRE Notes 2013 and RCC CRE Notes 2014, it was determined that the parties that have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to each of these VIEs and who have the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to these VIEs, are a related party group. It was then determined that the Company was the party within that group that is more closely associated to each such VIE considering the design of the VIE, the principal-agency relationship between the Company and other members of the related-party group, and the relationship and significance of the activities of the VIE to the Company compared to the other members of the related-party group.

Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1, RCC CRE Notes 2013 and RCC CRE 2014 were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities, CMBS, property available-for-sale, bank loans, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The Manager manages these entities on behalf of the Company. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of bonds, the Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted equity returns and to match the term of its assets and liabilities. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception and is continually assessed.

Moselle CLO is a European securitization in which the Company purchased a $40.0 million interest in the form of subordinate notes representing 100% of the Class 1 Subordinated Notes and 67.9% of the Class 2 subordinated Notes in February 2014. The CLO is managed by an independent third-party and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLO. Though neither the Company nor one of its related parties manages the CLO, due to certain unilateral kick-out rights within the collateral management agreement it was determined that the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Moselle CLO. Having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Moselle CLO and a financial interest that is expected to absorb both positive and negative variability in the CLO that could potentially be significant, the Company was determined to be the the primary beneficiary of Moselle CLO and, therefore, consolidated the CLO.

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

On July 9, 2014, RCC Residential together with Resource America and certain Resource America employees acquired through RCM Global a portfolio of securities from JP Morgan for $23.5 million.  The portfolio is managed by Resource America. RCC Residential contributed $15.0 million for a 63.8% membership interest. Each of the members of RCM Global will be allocated the revenue/expenses of RCM Global in accordance with its membership interest. RCM Global was determined not to be a VIE as there was sufficient equity at risk, it does not have disproportionate voting rights and its members have all of the following characteristics (1) the power to direct the activities (2) the obligation to absorb losses and (3) the right to receive residual returns. However, the Company consolidated RCM Global as a result of the Company's majority interest in it.

In September 2014, the Company contributed $17.5 million of capital to Pelium Capital for an 80.4% interest. Pelium Capital is a specialized credit opportunity fund managed by Resource America. The Company will receive 10% of the carried interest in the partnership for the first five years and can increase to 20% if the Company's capital contributions aggregate $40.0 million. Pelium Capital was determined not to be a VIE as there was sufficient equity at risk, it does not have disproportionate voting rights and its members have all of the following characteristics (1) the power to direct the activities (2) the obligation to absorb losses and (3) the right to receive residual returns. However, Pelium Capital was consolidated as a result of the Company's majority ownership and the Company's unilateral kick-out rights held. The non-controlling interest in this vehicle is owned by Resource America.

For a discussion of the Company’s securitizations (see Note 1) and for a discussion of the debt issued through the securitizations (see Note 13).

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

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

The creditors of the Company’s ten consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. However, the Company has in the past voluntarily supported two credits in one of its commercial real estate CDOs as the credits went through a restructuring in order to maximize their future cash flows. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company has provided financial support of $209,000 and $758,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company provided $69,000 and $1.9 million of financial support, respectively. The Company has provided no other financial support to any other of its VIEs nor does it have any requirement to do so, although it may choose to do so in the future to maximize future cash flows on such investments by the Company. There are no explicit arrangements that obligate the Company to provide financial support to any of its consolidated VIEs.

The following table shows the classification and carrying value of assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2014 (in thousands):

(1)    Includes $3.6 million available for reinvestment in certain of the securitizations.

(2)    Assets of each of the consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of each respective VIE.

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

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs discussed below since it does not have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the following VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2014. The Company’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the “Maximum Risk Exposure” column in the table below.

LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.

On November 16, 2011, the Company together with LEAF Financial, Inc. ("LEAF Financial"), a joint venture of Resource America, and LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LCC”), another subsidiary of Resource America, entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements (collectively the “SPA”) with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm, and its affiliates (“Eos”). In exchange for its prior interests in its lease related investments, the Company received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), 4,872 shares of newly issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis assuming conversion, a 26.7% interest in LCC. The Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $36.3 million based on a third-party valuation.  The Company's fully-diluted interest in LCC assuming conversion is 28.3%. The Company’s investment in LCC was recorded at $40.2 million and $41.0 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of LCC because it does not participate in any management or portfolio decisions, holds only two of six board positions, and only controls 28.3% of the voting rights in the entity. Furthermore, Eos holds consent rights with respect to significant LCC actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, consummation of a sale of the entity, liquidation or initiating a public offering.

Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures

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

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

Resource Capital Asset Management CLOs

In February 2011, the Company purchased a company that managed bank loan assets through five CLOs. As a result, the Company became entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from these CLOs. The purchase price of $22.5 million resulted in an intangible asset that was allocated to each of the five CLOs and is amortized over the expected life of each CLO. The unamortized balance of the intangible asset was $9.9 million and $11.2 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized fee income of $1.2 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $1.2 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. With respect to four of these CLOs, the Company determined that it does not hold a controlling financial interest and, therefore, is not the primary beneficiary. One of these CLOs was substantially liquidated in February 2013. With respect to the fifth CLO, Whitney CLO I, in October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of its preferred equity. Based upon that purchase, the Company determined that it did have an obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Whitney CLO I and that a related party had the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the VIE. As a result, together with the related party, the Company had both the power to direct and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses. It was then determined that, between the Company and the related party, the Company was the party within that group that was more closely associated with Whitney CLO I because of its preferred equity interest in Whitney CLO I. The Company, therefore, consolidated Whitney CLO I. In May 2013, the Company purchased additional equity in this CLO which increased its equity ownership to 68.3% of the outstanding preferred equity of the CLO. In September 2013, the Company substantially liquidated Whitney CLO I, and, as a result, all of the assets were sold.

The following table shows the classification, carrying value and maximum exposure to loss with respect to the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2014 (in thousands):

	Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
	LCC		Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures			Resource Capital Asset  Management CDOs		Total		Maximum Exposure to Loss

Other than its commitments to fund its real estate joint ventures, there were no explicit arrangements or implicit variable interests that could require the Company to provide financial support to any of its unconsolidated VIEs.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Business Combination

NOTE 11 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On October 31, 2013, the Company through its TRS, RCC Residential, completed a business combination whereby it acquired the assets of PCM, an Atlanta based company that originates and services residential mortgage loans for approximately $7.6 million in cash. As part of this transaction, a key employee of PCM was granted approximately $800,000 of the Company’s restricted stock. Any grant for employees of PCM are accounted for as compensation and are being amortized to equity compensation expense over the vesting period. Dividends declared on the stock while unvested are recorded as a general and administrative expense. Dividends declared after the stock vests will be recorded as a distribution. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $185,000 and $545,000 of amortization of the stock grants were recorded to equity compensation expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of income and $52,000 and $156,000 of expense related to dividends on unvested shares was recorded to general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. There was no such expense of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Upon acquisition of PCM, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $600,000 related to its wholesale-correspondent relationships, which have a finite life of approximately two years.

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the Company’s best estimate of fair value with any shortage under the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to gain on bargain purchase. The gain on bargain purchase resulted from the stock grant described above being accounted for as compensation under GAAP and was recorded as other income (expense) on the Company's consolidated statements of income.     

The following table sets forth the allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):

Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,233
Loans held for sale	15,021
Loans held for investment	2,071
Wholesale and correspondent relationships	600
Other assets	5,828
Total assets	24,753
Less: Liabilities assumed:
Borrowings	14,584
Other liabilities	2,165
Total liabilities	16,749
Gain on bargain purchase	391
Total cash purchase price	$	7,613

On February 27, 2014, the Company made an additional capital contribution to LCF which gave the Company majority ownership at 50.2%. As a result, the Company began consolidating the LCF joint venture. The joint venture was established for the purpose of originating and acquiring life settlement contracts through a financing facility. Although no further material purchase price adjustments for LCF are anticipated, the Company has not yet completed the process of estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on this investment. Accordingly, the Company's preliminary estimates and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as the Company completes the process. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, changes, if any, to the preliminary estimates and allocation will be reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements, retrospectively.

In February 2014, the Company purchased a $40.0 million interest in Moselle CLO, a European securitization, in the form of subordinate notes representing 100% of the Class 1 Subordinated Notes and 67.9% of the Class 2 subordinated Notes, which was accounted for as a business combination. The assets of Moselle CLO consist of European senior secured loans, U.S. senior secured loans, U.S. senior unsecured loans, U.S. second lien loans, European mezzanine loans, and a limited amount of synthetic securities and other eligible debt obligations. The CLO is managed by an independent third-party and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLO. While neither the Company nor any of its affiliates manages the CLO, due to certain unilateral kick-out rights within the collateral management agreement, it was determined that the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Moselle CLO. Having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Moselle CLO and a financial interest that is expected to absorb both positive and negative variability in the CLO that could potentially be significant, the Company was determined to be the the primary beneficiary of Moselle CLO and, therefore, consolidated the CLO.

NOTE 7 - INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE

The table below summarizes the Company’s investments in real estate (in thousands, except number of properties):

	As of December 31, 2013
	Book Value			Number of Properties
Multi-family property	$	22,107		1
Office property	10,273			1

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company made no acquisitions. The Company has two assets classified as property available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014. The Company confirmed the intent and ability to sell its office property and multi-family property in their present condition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. These properties qualified for held for sale accounting treatment upon meeting all applicable criteria on or prior to September 30, 2014, at which time the Company ceased recording depreciation and amortization. As such, the assets associated with the office property and multi-family property, with a carrying value of $9.6 million and $19.8 million, respectively, are separately classified and included in property available-for-sale on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2014. However, the anticipated sale of these properties did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations and, therefore, the operations for all periods presented continue to be classified within continuing operations on the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company expects the sale of both properties to close by the end of the year. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the office property for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were gains of $48,000 and $23,000, respectively, and losses of $72,000 and $225,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the multi-family property for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was income of $119,000 and a loss of $4,000, respectively, and a loss of $93,000 and a gain of $13,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The Company's hotel property was sold in April 2014 for a gain of $3.0 million and is recorded in (loss) gain on sale of real estate on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company made no acquisitions and sold one of its multi-family properties for a gain $16.6 million, which was recorded in (loss) gain on sale of real estate on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Relationship with Resource America and Certain of its Subsidiaries

Relationship with Resource America.  On September 19, 2013, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Resource America concluded that Resource America should consolidate the financial statements of the Company, which was previously treated as an unconsolidated variable interest entity. The Audit Committee reached this conclusion after consultations with the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) following comments received from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission and the Audit Committee's discussion with the Company's management and its independent registered public accounting firm. Resource America's Audit Committee noted that consolidation of the Company was not expected to materially affect Resource America's previously reported net income attributable to common shareholders.At September 30, 2014, Resource America owned 2,861,592 shares, or 2.1%, 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, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, pursuant to a Management Agreement that provides for both base and incentive management fees.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Manager earned base management fees of approximately $3.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

DISTRIBUTIONS [Abstract]

Dividends Declared

NOTE 19 - 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.

The Company’s 2014 dividends will be determined by the Company’s board of directors which will also consider the composition of any dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares.

The following tables presents dividends declared (on a per share basis) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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.

Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

The Company originates residential loans to be funded by permanent investors. The Company may sell or retain the right to service a loan. Mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the lower of cost or market, determined on an aggregate basis for each type of loan after the net effect of any hedging activities including interest rate lock commitments and freestanding loan-related derivatives. Market value is determined using sales commitments to permanent investors or on current market rates for loans of similar quality and type. To the extent the transfer of assets qualifies as a sale, the asset is derecognized and the gain or loss is recorded on the sale date. In the event the transfer of assets does not qualify as a sale, the transfer would be treated as a secured borrowing.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that clarifies the disclosures management must make in its interim and annual financial statement footnotes when management has determined that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). In accordance with this guidance, management’s assessment is required to be made each reporting period and should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued. In all cases, to the extent that substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is determined to be probable, management must disclose the principal conditions or events that gave rise to the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, and management’s plans that either alleviated or are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that gave rise to the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, to the extent substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is not alleviated by management’s plans, management must indicate in the footnotes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that provides for the election of a measurement alternative when a reporting entity determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a collateralized financing entity and, hence, is required to consolidate that collateralized financing entity. The measurement alternative allows a qualifying, consolidated collateralized financing entity to use the more observable of the fair value the financial assets or the fair value of financial liabilities adjusted by the carrying amount of non-financial assets, the fair value of any beneficial interests retained by the reporting entity (including those beneficial interest that represent compensation for services). Alternatively, if the measurement alternative is not elected for a qualifying, consolidated collateralized financing entity, this guidance requires that the financial assets and financial liabilities be measured in accordance with Topic 820, and any difference in the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities would be reflected in earnings and attributed to the reporting entity in the consolidated statement of income (loss). This guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting and requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement for repurchase arrangements. This amendment also requires additional disclosure for certain transactions comprising a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company expects to show assets, liabilities, income and expense gross on its consolidated financial statements and provide the additional required disclosure.    

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this update require an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections of the statement of financial position. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and new disclosures for disposal transactions of individually significant components of an entity that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Additionally, this guidance both permits and expands the disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for all disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for sale. The Company has early adopted the provisions of this guidance. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Furthermore, the guidance requires interim and annual disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the characteristics of an investment company, provides comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company and requires an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. The guidance also requires additional disclosure. This guidance was effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that began after December 15, 2013. Earlier application was prohibited. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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.

The Company’s 2014 dividends will be determined by the Company’s board of directors which will also consider the composition of any dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares.

The following tables presents dividends declared (on a per share basis) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
