Variable Interest Entities

NOTE 19 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In general, a VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its operations without additional subordinated financial support, or an entity for which the risks and rewards of ownership are not directly linked to voting interests. The Company has variable interests in VIEs through its management contracts and investments in various securitization entities, including CDO issuers. Since the Company serves as the asset manager for the investment entities it sponsored and manages, the Company is generally deemed to have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. In the case of an interest in a VIE managed by the Company, the Company will perform an additional qualitative analysis to determine if its interest (including any investment as well as any management fees that qualify as variable interests) could absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This analysis considers the most optimistic and pessimistic scenarios of potential economic results that could reasonably be experienced by the VIE. Then, the Company compares the benefits it would receive (in the optimistic scenario) or the losses it would absorb (in the pessimistic scenario) as compared to benefits and losses absorbed by the VIE in total. If the benefits or losses absorbed by the Company were significant as compared to total benefits and losses absorbed by all variable interest holders, then the Company would conclude it is the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIE-RSO

The Company prepared a quantitative analysis to measure the management/incentive fees and the Company’s equity ownership position in RSO relative to the anticipated economic performance of RSO and determined that its benefits could be significant to RSO. Accordingly, management concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate RSO. However, the assets of RSO are held solely to satisfy RSO’s obligations and the creditors of RSO have no recourse against the assets of the Company, nor do creditors of the Company have recourse against the assets of RSO.

The following reflects the assets and liabilities and operations of RSO which were consolidated by the Company:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - RSO

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to RSO's 2014 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation.

Variable Interest Entities - RSO

RSO 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 they are variable interests in VIEs. RSO monitors these legal interests and, to the extent it has determined that it has a variable interest, analyzes the entity for potential consolidation. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which, generally is the entity that has the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. RSO continuously analyzes entities in which it holds variable interests, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such entities are VIEs and whether such potential VIEs should be consolidated or deconsolidated. This analysis requires considerable judgment in determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE and could result in the consolidation of an entity that would otherwise not have been consolidated or the non-consolidation of an entity that otherwise would have been consolidated.

Consolidated VIEs (RSO is the primary beneficiary)

Based on RSO management’s analysis, RSO is the primary beneficiary of 13 VIEs at September 30, 2015: 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 2014-CRE2, RCC 2015-CRE3, RCC 2015-CRE4, Moselle CLO and RCM Global, LLC. 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, RCC 2014-CRE2, RCC 2015-CRE3, RCC 2015-CRE4 and RCM Global, LLC, 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 RSO was the party within that group that is more closely associated with each such VIE considering the design of the VIE, the principal-agency relationship between RSO and other members of the related-party group, and the relationship and significance of the activities of the VIE to RSO 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, RCC 2014-CRE2, RCC 2015-CRE3 and RCC 2015-CRE4 were formed on behalf of RSO 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 the commercial real estate-related entities on behalf of RSO, and CVC Credit Partners manages the commercial finance-related entities on behalf of RSO. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of bonds, RSO 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 was a European securitization in which RSO purchased a $30.4 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 was managed by an independent third-party and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the CLO. Though neither RSO nor one of its related parties managed the CLO, due to certain unilateral kick-out rights within the collateral management agreement it was determined that RSO 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 impacted Moselle CLO and a financial interest that was expected to absorb both positive and negative variability in the CLO that could potentially be significant, RSO was determined to be the primary beneficiary of Moselle CLO and, therefore, consolidated the CLO. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the CLO began the liquidation process and all assets were subsequently sold.

Whitney CLO I was a securitization in which RSO 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 is allocated revenue and expenses of RCM Global in accordance with his or her membership interest. RCM Global was determined to be a VIE based on the equity holders' inability to direct the activities that are most significant to the entity. RSO was determined to be the primary beneficiary of RCM Global and, therefore, consolidated the entity. RSO's ownership interest of the portfolio's remaining assets was 46.4% as of September 30, 2015.

For consolidated CLOs in which RSO does not own 100% of the subordinated notes, RSO 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 RSO's consolidated statements of operations.

RSO has exposure to losses on its securitizations to the extent of its subordinated debt and preferred equity interests in them. RSO 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 RSO holds in these securitizations have been eliminated, and RSO’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. RSO's operating results and cash flows include the gross amounts related to the securitizations' assets and liabilities as opposed to RSO's net economic interests in the securitizations. Assets and liabilities related to the securitizations are disclosed, in the aggregate, on RSO's consolidated balance sheets.

The creditors of RSO’s 13 consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of RSO. However, RSO in its capacity as manager, RSO has voluntarily supported two credits in one of its commercial real estate CDOs as the credits went through a restructuring in order to maximize future cash flows from the CDO. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, RSO provided no financial support. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, RSO provided financial support of $209,000 and $758,000, respectively. RSO has provided no other financial support to any other of its VIEs nor does RSO 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 RSO. There are no explicit arrangements that obligate RSO to provide financial support to any of its consolidated VIEs.

The following table shows the classification and carrying value of assets and liabilities of RSO's consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

(1) Includes $6.9 million designated to fund future commitments on specific commercial real estate loans 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.

(3) In October 2013, RSO liquidated Apidos CLO VIII and all of the assets were sold. However, RSO still owns its share of beneficial interests that caused it to consolidate it.

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

Based on RSO management’s analysis, RSO 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 RSO’s financial statements as of September 30, 2015. RSO’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the “Maximum Exposure to Loss,” column in the table below.

LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.

On November 16, 2011, RSO and LEAF Financial, Inc. ("LEAF Financial"), a subsidiary of the Company, and LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. ("LCC"), a former another subsidiary of the Company, 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, RSO 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. At the time of investment, RSO's investment in LCC was valued at $36.3 million based on a third-party valuation at that time.  During 2013, RSO entered into a third stock purchase agreement with LCC to purchase 3,682 shares of newly issued Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the "Series A-1 Preferred Stock") for $3.7 million and 4,445 shares of newly issued Series E Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock") for $4.4 million. The Series E Preferred Stock has priority over all other classes of preferred stock. RSO's fully-diluted interest in LCC, assuming conversion, was 28.4% at September 30, 2015. RSO's investment in LCC was recorded at $40.8 million and $39.4 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. RSO 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 28.4% of the voting rights in the entity. Furthermore, Eos holds consent rights with respect to significant LCC actions, including the incurrence of indebtedness, consummation of a sale of the entity, liquidation or initiating a public offering.

Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures

RSO 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 RSO, as described below. RSO 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 RSO’s consolidated financial statements.

RSO records its investments in RCT I's 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 RSO 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. RSO will continuously reassess whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

Resource Capital Asset Management CLOs

In February 2011, RSO purchased a company that managed bank loan assets through five CLOs. As a result, RSO 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 $8.1 million and $9.4 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. RSO recognized fee income of $791,000 and $2.7 million for the for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and $1.2 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. With respect to four of these CLOs, RSO determined that it does not hold a controlling financial interest and, therefore, is not the primary beneficiary. One of the CLOs was liquidated in February 2013. With respect to the fifth CLO, Whitney CLO I, in October 2012, RSO purchased 66.6% of its preferred equity, which resulted in consolidation. Based upon that purchase, RSO determined that it had 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, RSO had both the power to direct and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses. It was then determined that, between RSO and the related party, RSO 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. RSO, therefore, consolidated Whitney CLO I. In May 2013, RSO purchased additional equity in this CLO which increased its ownership of the outstanding preferred equity to 68.3%. In September 2013, RSO liquidated Whitney CLO I, and, as a result, all of the assets were sold.

Investment in ZAIS

In February 2015, RSO made an investment in ZAIS CLO 4 Limited, an offshore financing vehicle created to acquire and warehouse syndicated bank loans, through its wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary ZAIS and through its consolidated subsidiary Pelium Capital together with a certain Resource America employee. RSO, through ZAIS and Pelium Capital, committed to invest $10.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, during the vehicle's warehousing period. The vehicle is managed by ZAIS Leveraged Loan Manager 4, LLC (the “Collateral Manager”), an entity unrelated to RSO or to Pelium Capital, and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the entity. The Collateral Manager can be replaced either for cause by the entity’s administrative agent if there is an event of default or by a unanimous vote of the entity’s equity investors, excluding any preference shares held by the Collateral Manager or its affiliates. Although RSO has an investment in the entity that is potentially significant, because it was determined that RSO did not have the ability to kick out the collateral manager, RSO was not determined to be the primary beneficiary and, hence, not required to consolidate ZAIS CLO 4, Limited. As of September 30, 2015, RSO had invested $10.0 million and $3.0 million through ZAIS and Pelium Capital, respectively. RSO accounts for its investment in ZAIS as an investment security available-for-sale in its consolidated financial statements.

Investment in Harvest CLO XV Designated Activity Company

                In February 2015, RSO made an investment in Harvest CLO XV Designated Activity Company ("Harvest XV"), an offshore financing vehicle created to acquire and warehouse syndicated bank loans, through its wholly-owned, direct subsidiary Commercial II.  The vehicle is managed by 3i Debt Management Investments Limited (the “Collateral Manager”), an entity unrelated to RSO, and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the entity.  The Collateral Manager can be replaced only for cause by the entity’s administrative agent.  Although RSO has an investment in the entity that is potentially significant, because it was determined that RSO did not have the ability to unilaterally kick out the collateral manager, RSO was not determined to be the primary beneficiary and, hence, not required to consolidate Harvest XV.  As of September 30, 2015, RSO had invested $11.2 million in Harvest XV's warehouse.  RSO accounts for its investment in Harvest XV as an investment security available-for-sale in its consolidated financial statements.

The following table shows the classification, carrying value and maximum exposure to loss with respect to RSO’s unconsolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

RSO 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 RSO’s highest rating and 5 representing its lowest rating.  A loan with a rating of a 1 is considered performing within expectations, a loan with a rating of a 2 is considered watching closely with limited liquidity concerns, a loan with a rating of a 3 is considered to have possible future liquidity concerns, a loan with a rating of a 4 is considered to have nearer term liquidity concerns, and a loan with a rating of 5 has defaulted. RSO 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. RSO considers metrics 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 December 31, 2014, all of RSO’s bank loans were current with respect to debt service with the exception of two loans with an amortized aggregate cost of $1.4 million, one of which defaulted as of March 31, 2014, and the other of defaulted as of September 30, 2014.

Middle Market Loans

RSO uses a risk grading matrix to assign grades to middle market loans.  At inception, all middle market loans are graded at a 2 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 RSO’s highest rating and 5 representing its lowest rating. A loan with a rating of a 1 is considered performing above expectations, a loan with a rating of a 2 is considered performing within expectations, a loan with a rating of a 3 is considered performing below expectations and requires close monitoring but no loss of interest or principal is expected, a loan with a rating of a 4 is considered to be performing below expectations and some loss of interest or dividend is expected but no loss of principal, and a loan with a rating of a 5 is considered performing substantially below expectations, in default and some loss of principal is expected. RSO considers metrics such as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest and principal payments, enterprise valuation, default probability, and industry dynamics in grading its middle market loans.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

RSO 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 RSO’s highest rating and 4 representing its lowest rating.  A loan with a rating of 1 is considered to have satisfactory performance with no issues noted. A loan is graded with a rating of a 2 if a surveillance trigger event has occurred without mitigating circumstance to support such event. A loan with a rating of a 3 has experienced an extended decline in operating performance, a significant deviation from its origination plan or the occurrence of one or more surveillance trigger events which create an increased risk for potential default. A loan with a rating of a 4 is considered to be in default or that default is imminent and full recovery of the unpaid principal balance is improbable. RSO also designates loans that are sold after the period end at the lower of their fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales.  In addition to the underlying performance of the loan collateral, RSO considers metrics 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.

During the second quarter of 2015, RSO recorded an allowance for loan loss on a subordinated mezzanine loan position that was acquired in 2007. The outstanding loan balance of $38.1 million was fully reserved and associated accrued interest of $3.0 million was reversed against interest income, for a total charge to operations of $41.1 million. The loan was originally supported by a portfolio of 13 hotel properties, most of which were luxury brand hotels. An impairment analysis showed the fair value of the underlying collateral declined from that as of March 31, 2015. Contributing to this decline was a modification of the senior mortgage that accelerated the time horizon for disposing of the remaining properties collateralizing the loan. Compounding this fact, the remaining two luxury brand hotel properties securing the loan are located in or near San Juan, Puerto Rico, and recent economic and credit disruptions in Puerto Rico resulted in events that caused RSO to determine that realizable values had declined rapidly and that the troubled debt restructuring should be fully reserved as of June 30, 2015. This loan remains fully reserved as of September 30, 2015.

Residential Mortgage Loans

RSO also designates loans that are sold after the period end as held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost.

Business Combinations- RSO

On February 26, 2014, RSO made an additional capital contribution to LCF which gave RSO majority ownership of 50.2%. As a result, RSO 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. On April 30, 2015, RSO committed to another capital contribution in the amount of $750,000, increasing its ownership of LCF to 60.7%. The first installment of $375,000 was funded on April 30, 2015 and the second installment of $375,000 was funded on July 30, 2015.

RSO engaged a third party expert to assist in determining the fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed on this investment. Based on the final valuation, which determined an enterprise value of LCF of approximately $4.1 million, and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, RSO confirmed that no further adjustments are necessary

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Through RSO's wholly-owned residential mortgage loan originator PCM, residential mortgage loans are sold through one of the following methods: (i) sales to or pursuant to programs sponsored by the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Government National Mortgage Association, or (ii) sales to private investors. RSO may have continuing involvement in mortgage loans sold by retaining servicing rights and servicing obligations. 

The total servicing portfolio consists of loans associated with capitalized mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and loans held for sale. In accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 860-50, RSO utilizes the amortization method for the subsequent measurement of its MSRs. The total servicing portfolio was $1.8 billion and $894.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  MSRs recorded in RSO's consolidated balance sheets are related to the capitalized servicing portfolio and are created through the sale of originated residential mortgage loans.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, RSO recognized $1.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to mortgage servicing rights. For the three and nine ended September 30, 2014, RSO recognized $423,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. RSO expects to recognize amortization related to its mortgage servicing rights portfolio in the amount of $4.1 million for the year ending December 31, 2015, $3.9 million for the year ending December 31, 2016, $3.8 million for the year ending December 31, 2017, $3.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2018, and $3.1 million for the year ending December 31, 2019. The weighted average amortization period was 1.2 years and 1.4 years at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Payoffs, sales and curtailments	(65,013		)	(58,301		)
Balance, end of period	$	1,753,227		$	894,767

6.0% Convertible Senior Notes

In connection with RSO's one-for-four reverse stock split, the 6% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018, ("6.0% Convertible Senior Notes") automatically adjusted from 150.1502 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of such notes to 37.53755 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of such notes. The conversion price was adjusted from $6.66 to $26.64 as a result of the stock split.

8% Convertible Senior Notes

In January 2015, RSO issued and sold in a public offering $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020, ("8.0% Convertible Senior Notes") are convertible at the option of the holder. The 8% Convertible Senior Notes had an original conversion rate of 187.4414 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of 8.0% Convertible Senior Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $5.34 per common share). Upon conversion of 8% Convertible Senior Notes by a holder, the holder will receive cash, RSO common shares or a combination of cash and RSO common shares, at RSO's election. In connection with RSO's one-for-four reverse stock split, the 8% Convertible Senior Notes automatically adjust to 46.86035 shares of common stock or $1,000 principal amount of such notes. The conversion price was adjusted from $5.34 to $21.36 as a result of the split.

After deducting a $1.0 million underwriting discount and deferred issuance costs totaling $2.1 million, RSO received approximately $97.0 million of net proceeds. In addition, RSO recorded a discount of $2.5 million on the 8.0% Convertible Senior Notes that reflects the difference between the stated value of the debt and the fair value of the notes as if they were issued without a conversion feature. 

The aforementioned market discounts and the deferred debt issuance costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis as additional interest expense through maturity on January 15, 2020. Interest on the 8% Convertible Senior Notes is paid semi-annually.

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, RSO classifies these loans as nonrecurring Level 2.  For the RSO’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 amounts of nonrecurring fair value losses for specifically impaired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $920,000 and $42.4 million, respectively. The amounts of nonrecurring fair value losses for specifically impaired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $24,000 and $464,000, respectively. The amounts of nonrecurring fair value losses for loans held for sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $35,000 and $841,000, respectively. The amounts of nonrecurring fair value losses for loans for sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $597,000 and $658,000, respectively.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820-10-50-2-bbb, RSO is not required to disclose quantitative information with respect to unobservable inputs contained in fair value measurements that are not developed by RSO. As a consequence, RSO has not disclosed such information associated with fair values obtained from third-party pricing sources.

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2015, for which quantitative information with respect to unobservable inputs was available, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows (in thousands, except were otherwise indicated):

	Fair Value at September 30, 2015		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Significant Unobservable Input Value
Interest rate swap agreements	$	5,255	Discounted cash flow	Weighted average credit spreads	4.83		%
Warrant	$	827	Option pricing model	Market capitalization (in millions)	$	146.0
				Volatility	50.00		%

RSO is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  The fair values of RSO's short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, principal paydown receivable, interest receivable, distribution payable, accrued interest expense, repurchase agreements and the secured revolving credit agreement approximate their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets.  The fair values of RSO’s investment securities, trading are reported in Investment Securities, Trading.  The fair values of RSO’s investment securities available-for-sale are reported in Investment Securities Available-for-Sale.

Loans held-for-investment:  The fair value of RSO’s Level 2 Loans held-for-investment are primarily measured using a third-party pricing service.  The fair value of RSO’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 fair value of the convertible notes was determined using a discounted cash flow model that discounts the expected future cash flows using current interest rates on similar debts that do not have a conversion option. The 6% Convertible Senior Notes are discounted at a rate of 7.00% and the 8% Convertible Senior Notes are discounted at a rate of 8.60%. The fair value of the CRE portfolio was determined using a discounted cash flow model that discounts the expected future cash flows at current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit rating and with the same remaining maturities. Discount rates used range between 15%-25%.

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

RAI - Other VIEs

VIEs not consolidated

The Company’s investments in the structured finance entities that hold investments in trust preferred assets (the “Trapeza entities”) and asset-backed securities (the "Ischus entities”), and the Pearlmark joint venture were all determined to be VIEs that the Company does not consolidate as it does not have the obligation of, or right to, losses or earnings that would be significant to those entities.  Except for Pearlmark (see Note 17), the Company has not provided financial or other support to these VIEs and has no liabilities, contingent liabilities, or guarantees (implicit or explicit) related to these VIEs at September 30, 2015.

The following table presents the carrying amounts of the assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets that relate to the Company's variable interests in identified nonconsolidated VIEs and the Company's maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs in which it holds variable interests at September 30, 2015 (in thousands):
