Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

1.
Organization and Purpose

Trapeza Funding, LLC (“Funding”), was organized on March 25, 2002 as a Delaware limited liability company. Funding commenced operations on June 1, 2002. Funding was organized for the purpose of being the General Partner of Trapeza Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”). Per the partnership agreement, the limited partners have no right to remove Funding at any time. Funding has complete and exclusive control of the management of the business affairs of the Partnership.

The Partnership was organized on May 21, 2002 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership commenced operations on July 1, 2002. The Partnership was organized for the purpose of investing in membership interests and other securities to be issued by Trapeza CDO I, LLC (“Issuer I”), an affiliated collateralized debt obligation, which was formed by Funding. In addition, the Partnership also invested in Trapeza CDO II, LLC (“Issuer II”), an affiliated collateralized debt obligation, which closed on March 11, 2003. On May 15, 2003, Trapeza Note I, LLC (“Note I”) was formed to issue Class BB fixed rate notes and purchase 100% of the members’ interests of Issuer II. In addition, the Partnership’s investment in Issuer II was transferred to Note I at this time. The Partnership has an 11-year term, which Funding may extend on a year-to-year basis.

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Minority interest reflects the 99.99% of partners’ interest of the limited partners of the Partnership. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Company.”

Trapeza Capital Management, LLC (the “Collateral Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company, is responsible for supervising and directing the investment of the collateral of Issuer I and Issuer II. Issuer I and Issuer II are charged a collateral management fee by the Collateral Manager, who is affiliated with Funding through common ownership.

Funding and the Collateral Manager are owned equally by Financial Stocks, Inc. (“FSI”) and Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“REXI”) (collectively, the “Owners”). Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc. and FSI are Registered Investment Advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. REXI, a publicly traded company, is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to generate and administer investment opportunities for their own account and for outside investors in the financial fund management, real estate and equipment leasing sectors. The Owners and certain officers and directors of the Owners hold partnership interests of approximately 17% of the Partnership.

1.
Organization and Purpose (continued)
 
Issuer I and II’s objective is to purchase, acquire, own, hold, sell, endorse, transfer, assign, pledge, finance, refinance, exchange, restructure, workout, advance and collect funds pursuant to and otherwise deal with and exercise rights of ownership with respect to the collateral of Issuer I and Issuer II, including other securities or equity interest owned from time to time by Issuer I and Issuer II, all in accordance with the terms of the indentures.

The business and affairs of Funding are managed by a Board of Managers. The Board of Managers has full, complete and exclusive authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business affairs and properties of Funding, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any activities customary or incident to the management of Funding’s business.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.

Basis of Accounting

The Company’s accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company maintains its financial records in United States dollars. For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows the accrual basis of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand deposits with banks and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investment Transactions

The Company records transactions on their trade dates. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification basis for financial accounting purposes. Interest is accrued as earned or incurred and includes the amortization/accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Investment Valuation

Investments are carried at fair value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by procedures adopted by Funding. In valuing investments in which market quotations are not readily available, Funding utilizes data from a variety of different sources, taking into account the characteristics of a security, any changes in the credit quality of the securities in the portfolio, the overall movement of interest rates and other factors which, in Funding’s good faith and judgment, are relevant to the value of a security. For exchange-traded securities, management will obtain current market data and quotes from independent brokers.

The Company has invested a significant portion of the portfolio in private placement, illiquid issues having no ready market. At December 31, 2006, these securities aggregate $291,061,553 and have been valued in good faith by Funding as described in the preceding paragraph. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair values estimated by Funding may not necessarily represent the amounts that could be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments and the differences may be material.

Credit Risks and General Liquidity Considerations

Investments in trust preferred securities are subject to credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. Adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer of trust preferred securities or in general economic conditions or both may impair the ability of the issuer to make payments of principal and interest. Adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer may affect the liquidity of the market for an issuer’s securities and may reduce the market price of such securities. In addition, changes in general economic and regulatory conditions may affect the liquidity of the market for trust preferred securities in general and may reduce the values of some or all of the securities.

Allocation of Profits and Losses

The Company allocates profits to the members in proportion to their respective capital account balances until the cumulative profits for this current period and all prior fiscal years are equal to the cumulative losses allocated; thereafter, among the members in proportion to their respective units. Losses shall be allocated to the members in proportion to their respective capital account balances.

Trapeza Funding, LLC
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Allocation of Profits and Losses (continued)
 
Funding’s investment in the Partnership is accounted for based on its pro-rata share of its investment in the Partnership. Profits and losses from non-portfolio income are allocated to all members in proportion to their allocable shares. Twenty percent (20%) of the cumulative net profits from portfolio investments are allocated to Funding.
 
Non-portfolio income of the Partnership, consisting primarily of income earned on short-term investments, is allocated to all limited partners of the Partnership in proportion to their respective capital account balances prior to the allocation of any other item.
 
Portfolio income of the Partnership, consisting primarily of interest income and profits and losses from the sale of such investments, is allocated to all partners of the Partnership in proportion to their respective contributed capital of the Partnership in relation to total contributed capital, but 20% of the cumulative net profits otherwise allocable to all partners of the Partnership will be allocated to Funding, defined as the incentive allocation. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, Funding received an incentive allocation of $1,423,644 and $1,616,558, respectively, and are included in interest reflected on the statements of operations.
 
Taxation
 
The Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income tax is recorded.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Contributions, Withdrawals and Distributions

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has 300 membership units issued and outstanding. No member shall be required to make any additional contributions beyond their initial contribution. If the Board of Managers unanimously determines that the Company requires additional funds, any member may, but is not obligated to, advance such funds.

No member shall have the right to withdraw any of its capital contribution, except upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company made distributions of $1,670,868 and $1,573,761, respectively, to the members.

In accordance with the partnership agreement, each partner has contributed a specified amount of capital which is set forth in the partnership agreement. No limited partner is required to contribute any capital in excess of its commitment. As of August 13, 2003, all commitments of the Partnership were fully funded.

A limited partner will not have the right to redeem its interest in the Partnership. Funding, in its sole discretion, may redeem all or part of the partnership interest of any limited partner, for an amount equal to the capital account of the partnership interest being redeemed, if the limited partner consents to such redemption and all redemptions in any year do not exceed five percent of the aggregate allocable percentage of all limited partners.

Funding will cause the Partnership to distribute the lesser of (i) ninety percent (90%) of cash available from profits and (ii) all cash then available to the partnership less any reserves for partnership expenses or liabilities. All other distributions will be at the discretion of Funding. Funding will determine at its sole discretion the source of funds for all distributions. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership made distributions of $6,876,967 and $6,435,312, respectively, to the partners.

After certain expenses have been paid, the Collateral Manager is entitled to an additional semiannual fee equal to 0.15% per annum, calculated in the same manner as the Base Collateral Management Fee. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, total collateral management fees were $809,948 and $813,323, respectively, and are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations.

Pursuant to a trustee agreement, the trustee is entitled to a semiannual fee, on each distribution date, equal to 0.026% per annum of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the investments plus cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period relating to such distribution dates, an annual fee of $13,000, and reimbursement of out of pocket expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, total trustee fees were $102,289 and $102,656, respectively, and are included in total trustee fees reflected on the consolidated statements of operations.

If the Notes and the members’ interests have not been released prior to November 30, 2032, it is expected that the Company or Collateral Manager, acting on behalf of Issuer I, will sell all of the investments and sell or liquidate all other collateral, and all net proceeds from such sales and liquidations and all available cash after the payment (in the order of priorities set forth above) of all (i) fees, (ii) expenses and (iii) interest (including any defaulted interest and interest on defaulted interest, any Class C deferred interest and interest on any Class C deferred interest and any Class D deferred interest and interest on any Class D deferred interest) and principal of the Notes, will be distributed to the members in accordance with the Agreement.

Acceleration of Maturity and Redemption

The indenture provides for an acceleration of maturity or redemption of all of the senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a default event. Default events include a) failure of Issuer I to pay interest for a period of three business days on any Class A or B senior Notes, b) failure of Issuer I to pay principal of any senior Note when such payment becomes due and payable at its stated maturity or redemption date, c) failure of Issuer I, on any distribution date to disburse amounts available to the interest collection account or principal collection account in accordance with the order of the priority of payments set forth in the indenture,  which continues for three business

Each of these conditions is further described in the indenture.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company maintains a policy of valuing its derivative instruments at fair values, with the resulting unrealized gain or loss included in the consolidated statement of operations.

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset or otherwise determined notional amount.

Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap agreement. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Company and/or the termination value at the end of the agreement. Therefore, the Company considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements (continued)
 
The Company records a net receivable or payable for the net income or expense expected to be received or paid in the interest period. Net amounts received or paid on swap agreements are recorded as interest income or interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The amount recorded as interest income on basis swap agreements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 totaled $345,283 and $378,528, respectively.

The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with Credit Suisse (“CS”) (formerly knows Credit Suisse First Boston) for the purpose of hedging interest rate and cash flow risk between the fixed-rate investments and floating-rate investments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

1. Organization and Purpose

Trapeza Funding II, LLC (“Funding”), was organized on August 26, 2002 as a Delaware limited liability company. Funding commenced operations on November 1, 2002. Funding was organized for the purpose of being the general partner (the “General Partner”), of Trapeza Partners II L.P. (the “Partnership”). Per the partnership agreement, the limited partners have no right to remove Funding at any time. Funding has complete and exclusive control of the management of the business affairs of the Partnership.

The Partnership was organized on September 27, 2002 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership commenced operations on November 19, 2002. The Partnership was organized for the purpose of investing in membership interests and other securities to be issued by Trapeza CDO II, LLC (“Issuer II”), an affiliated collateralized debt obligation, which was formed by Funding. On May 15, 2003, Trapeza Note I, LLC (“Note I”) was formed to issue Class BB fixed rate notes, purchase 100% of the membership interests of Issuer II and return a portion of equity to the Partnership for the purpose of investing in membership interests and other securities to be issued by Trapeza CDO III, LLC (“Issuer III”), an affiliated collateralized debt obligation. Issuer III closed on June 25, 2003. The Partnership has an 11-year term, which the General Partner may extend on a year-to-year basis.

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Minority interest reflects the 99.99% of partners’ interest of the limited partners of the Partnership. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Company.”

Trapeza Capital Management, LLC (the “Collateral Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company, is responsible for supervising and directing the investment the collateral of Issuer II and Issuer III. Issuer II and III are charged a collateral management fee by the Collateral Manager, who is affiliated with Funding through common ownership.

Funding and the Collateral Manager are owned equally by Financial Stocks, Inc. (“FSI”) and Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“REXI”) (collectively, the “Owners”). Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc. and FSI are Registered Investment Advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. REXI, a publicly traded company, is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to generate and administer investment opportunities for their own account and for outside investors in the financial fund management, real estate and equipment leasing sectors. The Owners and certain officers and directors of the Owners hold partnership interests of approximately 17% of the Partnership.

1. Organization and Purpose (continued)

Issuer II and Issuer III’s objective is to purchase, acquire, own, hold, sell, endorse, transfer, assign, pledge, finance, refinance, exchange, restructure, workout, advance and collect funds pursuant to and otherwise deal with and exercise rights of ownership with respect to the collateral of Issuer II and Issuer III, including other securities or equity interests owned from time to time by Issuer II and Issuer III, all in accordance with the terms of the indentures.

The business and affairs of Funding are managed by a Board of Managers. The Board of Managers has full, complete and exclusive authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business affairs and properties of Funding, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any activities customary or incident to the management of Funding’s business.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.

Basis of Accounting

The Company’s accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company maintains its financial records in United States dollars. For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows the accrual basis of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand deposits with banks and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investment Transactions

The Company records transactions on their trade dates. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification basis for financial accounting purposes. Interest is accrued as earned or incurred and includes the amortization/accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Investment Valuation

Investments are carried at fair value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by procedures adopted by Funding. In valuing investments in which market quotations are not readily available, Funding utilizes data from a variety of different sources, taking into account the characteristics of a security, any changes in the credit quality of the securities in the portfolio, the overall movement of interest rates and other factors which, in Funding’s good faith and judgment, are relevant to the value of a security. For exchange-traded securities, management will obtain current market data and quotes from independent brokers.

The Company has invested a significant portion of the portfolio in private placement, illiquid issues having no ready market. At December 31, 2006, these securities aggregate $655,880,051 and have been valued in good faith by Funding as described in the preceding paragraph. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair values estimated by Funding may not necessarily represent the amounts that could be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments and the differences may be material.

Credit Risks and General Liquidity Considerations

Investments in trust preferred securities are subject to credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. Adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer of trust preferred securities or in general economic conditions or both may impair the ability of the issuer to make payments of principal and interest. Debt obligations are also subject to liquidity risk and the risk of market price fluctuations. Adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer may affect the liquidity of the market for an issuer’s securities and may reduce the market price of such securities. In addition, changes in general economic and regulatory conditions may affect the liquidity of the market for trust preferred securities in general and may reduce the values of some or all of the securities.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Allocation of Profits and Losses

The Company allocates profits to the members in proportion to their respective capital account balances until the cumulative profits for this current period and all prior fiscal years are equal to the cumulative losses allocated; thereafter, among the members in proportion to their respective units. Losses shall be allocated to the members in proportion to their respective capital account balances.

Funding’s investment in the Partnership is accounted for based on its pro-rata share of its investment in the Partnership. Profits and losses from non-portfolio income are allocated to all members in proportion to their allocable shares. Twenty percent of the cumulative net profits from portfolio investments are allocated to Funding.

Non-portfolio income of the Partnership, consisting primarily of income earned on short-term investments, is allocated to all limited partners in proportion to their respective capital account balances prior to the allocation of any other item.

Portfolio income of the Partnership, consisting primarily of interest income and profits and losses from the sale of such investments, are allocated to all partners of the Partnership in proportion to their respective contributed capital of the Partnership in relation to total contributed capital, but 20% of the cumulative net profits otherwise allocable to all partners will be allocated to Funding, defined as the incentive allocation. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, Funding received incentive allocations of $2,307,689  and $2,982,801, respectively, which are included in interest reflected on the statements of operations.

Taxation

The Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income tax is recorded.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Contributions, Withdrawals and Distributions

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has 100 membership units issued and outstanding. No member shall be required to make any additional contributions beyond their initial contribution. If the Board of Managers unanimously determines that the Company requires additional funds, any member may, but is not obligated to, advance such funds.

No member shall have the right to withdraw any of its capital contribution, except upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company made distributions of $2,116,552 and $1,909,672, respectively, to the members.

In accordance with the partnership agreement, each partner has contributed a specified amount of capital which is set forth in the partnership agreement. No limited partner is required to contribute any capital in excess of its commitment. As of December 24, 2002, all commitments of the Partnership were fully funded.

A limited partner will not have the right to redeem its interest in the Partnership. Funding, in its sole discretion, may redeem all or part of the partnership interest of any limited partner, for an amount equal to the capital account of the partnership interest being redeemed, if the limited partner consents to such redemption and all redemptions in any year do not exceed 5% of the aggregate allocable percentage of all limited partners.

3. Contributions, Withdrawals and Distributions (continued)

Funding will cause the Partnership to distribute the lesser of (i) 90% of cash available from profits and (ii) all cash then available to the partnership less any reserves for partnership expenses or liabilities. All other distributions will be at the discretion of Funding. Funding will determine at its sole discretion the source of funds for all distributions. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership made distributions of $8,364,458 and $7,423,843, respectively, to the partners.

Default events include a) failure of Issuer III to pay interest for a period of three business days on any Class A or B senior Notes, b) failure of Issuer III to pay principal of any senior Note when such payment becomes due and payable at its stated maturity or redemption date, c) failure of Issuer III, on any distribution date to disburse amounts available to the interest collection account or

Each of these conditions is further described in Indenture III.

7. Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company maintains a policy of valuing its derivative instruments at fair values, with the resulting unrealized gain or loss included in the consolidated statement of operations.

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset or otherwise determined notional amount.

Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap agreement. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Company and/or the termination value at the end of the agreement. Therefore, the Company considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates.

Trapeza Funding III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

1. Organization and Purpose

Trapeza Funding III, LLC (“Funding”), was organized on January 30, 2003 as a Delaware limited liability company. Funding commenced operations on April 1, 2003. Funding was organized for the purpose of being the general partner of Trapeza Partners III L.P. (the “Partnership”). Per the partnership agreement, the limited partners have no right to remove Funding at any time. Funding has complete and exclusive control of the management of the business affairs of the Partnership.

The Partnership was organized on February 27, 2003 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership commenced operations on April 1, 2003. The Partnership was organized for the purpose of investing in membership interests and other securities to be issued by Trapeza CDO IV, LLC (“Issuer IV”), which was formed by Funding. Funding also formed Trapeza CDO III, LLC (“Issuer III”). The Partnership has an 11-year term, which Funding may extend on a year-to-year basis.

Minority interest reflects the 99.99% of partners’ interest of the limited partners of the Partnership. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Company.”

Trapeza Capital Management, LLC (the “Collateral Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company, is responsible for supervising and directing the investment of the collateral of Issuer IV. Issuer IV is charged a collateral management fee by the Collateral Manager, who is affiliated with Funding through common ownership. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Funding and the Collateral Manager are owned equally by Financial Stocks, Inc. (“FSI”) and Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“REXI”) (collectively, the “Owners”). Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc. and FSI are Registered Investment Advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. REXI, a publicly traded company, is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to generate and administer investment opportunities on their own account and for outside investors in the financial fund management, real estate and equipment leasing sectors. The Owners hold partnership interests of approximately 11% of the Partnership.

Issuer IV’s objective is to purchase, acquire, own, hold, sell, endorse, transfer, assign, pledge, finance, refinance, exchange, restructure, workout, advance and collect funds pursuant to and otherwise deal with and exercise rights of ownership with respect to the collateral of Issuer IV, including other securities or equity interests owned from time to time by Issuer IV, all in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

1. Organization and Purpose (continued)

The business and affairs of Funding are managed by a Board of Managers. The Board of Managers has full, complete and exclusive authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business affairs and properties of Funding, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any activities customary or incident to the management of Funding’s business.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.

Basis of Accounting

The Company’s accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company maintains its financial records in United States dollars. For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows the accrual basis of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand deposits with banks and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investment Transactions

The Partnership records transactions on their trade dates. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification basis for financial accounting purposes. Interest is accrued as earned or incurred and includes the amortization/accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Investment Valuation

Investments are carried at fair value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by procedures adopted by Funding. In valuing investments in which market quotations are not readily available, Funding utilizes data from a variety of different sources, taking into account the characteristics of a security, any changes in the credit quality of the securities in the portfolio, the overall movement of interest rates and other factors which, in Funding’s good faith and judgment, are relevant to the value of a security. For exchange-traded securities, management will obtain current market data and quotes from independent brokers.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investment Valuation (continued)

The Company has invested a significant portion of the portfolio in private placement, illiquid issues having no ready market. At December 31, 2006, these securities aggregate $397,156,551 and have been valued in good faith by Funding as described in the preceding paragraph. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair values estimated by Funding may not necessarily represent the amounts that could be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments and the differences may be material.

Credit Risks and General Liquidity Considerations

Investments in trust preferred securities are subject to credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. Adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer of trust preferred securities or in general economic conditions or both may impair the ability of an issuer to make payments of principal and interest. Debt obligations are also subject to liquidity risk and the risk of market price fluctuations. Adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer may affect the liquidity of the market for an issuer’s securities and may reduce the market price of such securities. In addition, changes in general economic and regulatory conditions may affect the liquidity of the market for trust preferred securities in general and may reduce the values of some or all of the securities.

Allocation of Profits and Losses

The Company allocates profits to the members in proportion to their respective capital account balances until the cumulative profits for this current period and all prior fiscal years are equal to the cumulative losses allocated; thereafter, among the members in proportion to their respective units. Losses are allocated to the members in proportion to their respective capital account balances.
10

UNAUDITED

Trapeza Funding III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Allocation of Profits and Losses (continued)

Funding’s investment in the Partnership is accounted for based on its pro-rata share of its investment in the Partnership. Profits and losses from non-portfolio income are allocated to all members in proportion to their allocable shares. Twenty percent (20%) of the cumulative net profits from portfolio investments are allocated to Funding.

Non-portfolio income of the Partnership, consisting primarily of income earned on short-term investments, is allocated to all limited partners of the Partnership in proportion to their respective capital account balances prior to the allocation of any other item.

Portfolio income of the Partnership, consisting primarily of accrued interest and profits and losses from the sale of such investments, is allocated to all partners of the Partnership in proportion to their respective contributed capital in relation to total contributed capital of the Partnership, but 20% of the cumulative net profits otherwise allocable to all partners will be allocated to Funding, defined as the incentive allocation. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, Funding received an incentive allocation of $1,120,573 and $1,219,613, respectively, and are included in interest reflected on the statements of operations.

Taxation

The Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income tax is recorded.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Contributions, Withdrawals and Distributions

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has 100 Membership Units issued and outstanding. No member shall be required to make any additional contributions beyond their initial contribution. If the Board of Managers unanimously determines that the Company requires additional funds, any member may, but is not obligated to, advance such funds.

Trapeza Funding III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

3. Contributions, Withdrawals and Distributions (continued)

No member shall have the right to withdraw any of its capital contribution, except upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company. The Company is required to make a distribution to each member at least quarterly. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company made distributions of $1,062,509 and $819,754, respectively, to the members.

In accordance with the partnership agreement, each partner has contributed a specified amount of capital which is set forth in the partnership agreement. No limited partner is required to contribute any capital in excess of its commitment. As of June 4, 2003, all commitments of the Partnership are fully funded.

A limited partner will not have the right to redeem its interest in the Partnership. Funding, in its sole discretion, may redeem all or part of the partnership interest of any limited partner, for an amount equal to the capital account of the partnership interest being redeemed, if the limited partner consents to such redemption and all redemptions in any year do not exceed 5% of the aggregate allocable percentage of all limited partners.

Funding will cause the Partnership to distribute the lesser of (i) 90% of cash available from profits and (ii) all cash then available to the partnership less any reserves for partnership expenses or liabilities. All other distributions will be at the discretion of Funding. Funding will determine at its sole discretion the source of funds for all distributions. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership made distributions of $3,951,470 and $2,934,377, respectively, to the partners.

4. Issuer IV

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs

Deferred debt issuance costs of $9,460,622 are being amortized over the expected life of the related debt using the effective interest method. The expected life of the debt is the period ending with the distribution date occurring in November 2013, as defined in the indenture. Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs commenced on October 21, 2003.

Pursuant to a trustee agreement, the trustee is entitled to a semiannual fee, on each distribution date, equal to 0.0225% per annum of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the investments plus cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period relating to such distribution dates, as defined in the indenture.

5. Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company maintains a policy of valuing its derivative instruments at fair values, with the resulting unrealized gain or loss included in the consolidated statement of operations.

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset or otherwise determined notional amount.

Trapeza Funding III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

5. Interest Rate Swap Agreements (continued)

Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap agreement. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Company and/or the termination value at the end of the agreement. Therefore, the Company considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates.

The Company records a net receivable or payable for the net income or expense expected to be received or paid in the interest period. Net amounts received or paid on swap agreements are recorded as interest income or interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The amount recorded as interest income on basis swap agreements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 totaled $334,903 and $324,591, respectively.

The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with Credit Suisse (“CS”) (formerly known as Credit Suisse First Boston) and SunTrust Equity Funding, LLC (“SunTrust”), for the purpose of hedging interest rate and cash flow risk between the fixed-rate investments and floating-rate investments.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has one interest rate swap agreement outstanding with CS and one interest rate swap agreement outstanding with SunTrust. They pay as follows:

Report of Independent Auditors
 
To the Members of
Trapeza Capital Management, LLC:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Trapeza Capital Management, LLC (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ interests and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Trapeza Capital Management, LLC at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations, changes in its members’ interests and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Trapeza Capital Management, LLC
 
Notes to Audited Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2006
 
1. Organization and Purpose
 
Trapeza Capital Management, LLC (the “Company”), was organized on August 26, 2002 as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company commenced operations on November 19, 2002. The Company was organized for the purpose of supervising and directing the investment and reinvestment of collateral for nine collateralized debt obligations, Trapeza CDO I, LLC (“Issuer I”), Trapeza CDO II, LLC (“Issuer II”), Trapeza CDO III, LLC (“Issuer III”), Trapeza CDO IV, LLC (“Issuer IV”), Trapeza CDO V, Ltd. (“Issuer V”), Trapeza CDO Edge, Ltd. (“Issuer Edge”), Trapeza CDO IX, Ltd. (“Issuer IX”), Trapeza CDO X, Ltd. (“Issuer X”) and Trapeza CDO XI, Ltd. (“Issuer XI”), (collectively the “Issuers”).
 
The Company shall provide services to the Issuers as follows, 1) supervise and direct the administration of the collateral, 2) determine, upon request of the trustee, when payments received in respect to the collateral shall be applied as principal proceeds, 3) monitor the collateral on behalf of the Issuers and, on an ongoing basis, provide to the Issuers and the trustee all schedules and other information and data relating to the collateral which the Issuers or the trustee, on behalf of the noteholders, is required to prepare and deliver, 4) take or direct the trustee to sell or dispose of any collateral subject to the requirements of such in the indentures and 5) cause the trustee to exercise or acquire any rights or remedies with respect to such collateral (including waiving any default or voting to accelerate the maturity of any defaulted security).

The Company is owned equally by Financial Stocks, Inc. (“FSI”) and Resource Fund Financial Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“REXI”). Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc. and FSI are Registered Investment Advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. REXI, a publicly traded company, is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to generate and administer investment opportunities for their own account and for outside investors in the financial fund management, real estate and equipment leasing sectors.
 
The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by a Board of Managers. The Board of Managers has full, complete and exclusive authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business affairs and properties of the Company, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any activities customary or incident to the management of the Company’s business. The Company shall continue in perpetuity, unless sooner terminated upon unanimous determination of the members to terminate the Company.

Trapeza Capital Management, LLC
 
Notes to Audited Financial Statements (continued)
 
1. Organization and Purpose (continued)
 
The Company owned a partnership interest of approximately 9% in Trapeza Partners II L.P. (the “Partnership”). The Partnership was organized for the purpose of investing in membership interests and other securities to be issued by Issuer II and Issuer III, affiliated collateralized debt obligations, which were formed by Trapeza Funding II, LLC, (the “General Partner”), a Delaware limited liability company. In June 2006, the Company assigned this partnership interest equally to its owners in a non-cash distribution.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
Basis of Accounting
 
The Company’s accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company maintains its financial records in United States dollars. For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows the accrual basis of accounting.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all demand deposits with banks and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Allocation of Profits and Losses
 
Profits and losses shall be allocated to the members in proportion to their respective capital account balances.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Audited Financial Statements (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Taxation
 
The Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income tax is recorded.
 
3. Note Purchase and Security Agreement
 
Pursuant to an agreement dated March 11, 2003, the Company entered into a Note Purchase and Security Agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS”) (formerly known as Credit Suisse First Boston, LLC), the initial purchaser of the notes, and Credit Suisse, Cayman Island Branch, (formerly known as Credit Suisse First Boston, Cayman Islands Branch), purchaser of the notes. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company authorized the issue and sale of $3,700,000 aggregate principal amount of its floating rate senior notes due October 15, 2006. At December 31, 2006, the notes had been repaid in full. At December 31, 2005 the outstanding note balance was $700,000.
 
Interest on the principal amount of the notes was required to be paid to the holder of the notes on each payment date. Computed interest equaled the sum of the product of libor plus 1%, the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the notes, any past due interest and any additional amounts due and payable, on such payment date. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, interest expense attributable to the repayment of the notes was $10,802 and $55,139, respectively, as reflected in the statements of operations.
 
4. Trustee Fees Payable
 
The Company maintains a cash account restricted for future payment of trustee fees deposited from the closing of specific collateral. Depending upon the contractual terms, the trustee fees will be paid to the Bank of New York or Deutsche Bank annually over the next four years on the anniversary date of each specific collateral involved. An initial trustee fee was paid to the Bank of New York or Deutsche Bank at the time of the closing of the collateral.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has 100 membership units issued and outstanding. No member shall be required to make any additional contributions beyond their initial contribution. If the Board of Managers unanimously determines that the Company requires additional funds, any member may, but is not obligated to, advance such funds.
 
No member shall have the right to withdraw any of its capital contribution, except upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company made cash distributions of $4,993,568 and $3,478,757, respectively, to the members.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

1. Organization and Purpose

Trapeza Management Group, LLC (the “Company”), was organized on April 1, 2004 as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company commenced operations on April 1, 2004. The Company was organized for the purpose of supervising and directing the investment and reinvestment of collateral for two collateralized debt obligations, Trapeza CDO VI, LLC (“Issuer VI”) and Trapeza CDO VII, LLC (“Issuer VII”).

The Company shall provide services to the Issuers as follows, 1) supervise and direct the administration of the collateral, 2) determine, upon request of the trustee, when payments received in respect to the collateral shall be applied as principal proceeds, 3) monitor the collateral on behalf of the Issuers and, on an ongoing basis, provide to the Issuers and the trustee all schedules and other information and data relating to the collateral which the Issuers or the trustee, on behalf of the noteholders, is required to prepare and deliver, 4) take or direct the trustee to sell or dispose of any collateral subject to the requirements of such in the indentures and 5) cause the trustee to exercise or acquire any rights or remedies with respect to such collateral (including waiving any default or voting to accelerate the maturity of any defaulted security).

The Company is owned equally by Financial Stocks, Inc. (“FSI”), SunTrust Equity Funding, LLC (“SunTrust”), and Resource Fund Financial Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“REXI”). Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc. and FSI are Registered Investment Advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. SunTrust is a financial holding company that provides deposit, credit and trust and investment services. REXI, a publicly traded company, is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to generate and administer investment opportunities for their own account and for outside investors in the financial fund management, real estate and equipment leasing sectors.

The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by a Board of Managers. The Board of Managers has full, complete and exclusive authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business affairs and properties of the Company, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any activities customary or incident to the management of the Company’s business. The Company shall continue in perpetuity, unless sooner terminated upon unanimous determination of the members to terminate the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.

Basis of Accounting

The Company’s accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company maintains its financial records in United States dollars. For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows the accrual basis of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand deposits with banks and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Allocation of Profits and Losses

Profits and losses shall be allocated to the members in proportion to their respective capital account balances.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Taxation

The Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income tax is recorded.

3. Contributions, Withdrawals and Distributions

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has 300 membership units issued and outstanding. No member shall be required to make any additional contributions beyond their initial contribution. If the Board of Managers unanimously determines that the Company requires additional funds, any member may, but is not obligated to, advance such funds.

No member shall have the right to withdraw any of its capital contribution, except upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company made distributions of $2,148,953 and $1,906,978, respectively, to the members.

4. Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the collateral management agreements with Issuer VI and VII, the Collateral Manager is entitled to a semiannual fee, payable in arrears on the distribution dates, equal to 0.10% per annum of the semi-annual asset amount (“Base Collateral Management Fee”), of the net outstanding portfolio collateral, as defined in the indenture. After certain expenses have been paid, the Collateral Manager is entitled to an additional semiannual fee equal to 0.25% per annum, calculated in the same manner as the Base Collateral Management Fee. The Collateral Manager is entitled to additional incentive fees of 0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.25% per annum in arrears dependent upon the target returns reached on the preference shares as defined in the indenture. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, total collateral management fees were $2,722,269 and $2,737,777, respectively.
