NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2006

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT’S OPINION REGARDING INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Resource America, Inc. (the "Company" or “RAI”) is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to generate and administer investment opportunities for the Company and for outside investors in the financial fund management, real estate and equipment finance sectors. As a specialized asset manager, the Company seeks to develop investment vehicles in which outside investors invest along with the Company and for which the Company manages the assets acquired pursuant to long-term management and operating agreements. The Company limits its investment vehicles to investment areas where it owns existing operating companies or has specific expertise.

The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in the notes thereto as of June 30, 2006 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (“fiscal 2005”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2006 (“fiscal 2006”).

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2005 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2006 presentation.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new FASB standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently determining the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS 140.”  SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It also permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Derivative instruments used to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be accounted for at fair value. Under SFAS 156, an election can also be made for subsequent fair value measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities by class, thus simplifying the accounting and provide for income statement recognition of potential offsetting changes in the fair value of servicing assets, servicing liabilities and related derivative instruments. The Statement will be effective beginning the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.  Management does not currently expect that the adoption of SFAS 156 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Employee stock options.

The Company adopted SFAS 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as revised (“SFAS 123R”), as of October 1, 2005. Accordingly, employee stock options granted on and after October 1, 2005 are being expensed by the Company over the option vesting period, based on the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company’s calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life, 6.25 years; expected stock volatility 27.75%; risk-free interest rate 5.0%; and dividends were based on the Company’s historical rate. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, the Company granted 24,000 employee stock options. In addition, the unamortized compensation related to previously issued options is being expensed over the remaining vesting period of those options. At June 30, 2006, the Company had unamortized compensation expense of $2.3 million. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded compensation expense of $284,000 ($0.01 per share-diluted) and $831,000 ($0.04 per share-diluted), respectively. There was no corresponding tax benefit recorded since the Company has predominately issued incentive stock options and employees have typically held the stock received on exercise for the requisite holding period.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation expense was reflected in net income since each option granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Stock-Based Compensation − (Continued)

SFAS 123R requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the Company had adopted the fair value method for stock options granted. The following table provides the pro forma effects of recognizing compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123R (in thousands, except per share data):

Restricted common stock.

In February 2006, the Company’s equipment finance subsidiary, LEAF Financial Corporation (“LEAF”), issued 300,000 shares of restricted common stock of LEAF valued at $69,000 based on 3% of the equity of LEAF as of the date of conversion. These restricted shares, issued to three senior officers of LEAF, vest 50% per year commencing on February 1, 2007. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded stock-based compensation for the LEAF restricted stock of $13,000 and $22,000, respectively.

In January 2006, the Company issued 83,519 shares of restricted RAI common stock valued at $1.4 million based on the closing price of the Company’s stock as of the date of grant. These restricted shares vest 25% per year commencing on January 3, 2007. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for these restricted shares of $91,000 and $179,000, respectively.

In conjunction with the formation of Resource Capital Corp. (“RCC”) (NYSE: RSO), a real estate investment trust that the Company sponsored in March 2005, the Company received restricted shares of RCC (see Note 7).

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of periodic temporary investments of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its temporary cash investments in high-quality, short-term money market instruments and deposits with high-quality financial institutions and brokerage firms. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $30.1 million in deposits at various banks, of which $27.3 million was over the insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. No losses have been experienced on such investments.

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

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in the equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. These changes, other than net income, are referred to as “other comprehensive income” and for the Company include changes in the fair value, net of tax, of its investments in marketable securities and in the restricted stock and stock options of RCC held prior to being granted to employees (see Note 7).

NOTE 3 − EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the potential dilution from the exercise of securities, such as stock options and restricted stock, into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised/issued.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used in the computation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS (in thousands):

NOTE 5 − LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT − FINANCIAL FUND MANAGEMENT

At June 30, 2006, the Company’s secured syndicated loan portfolio consisted of $170.6 million of floating rate loans, which bear interest between various London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”) plus 1.38% to 7.00%, with maturity dates ranging from May 2007 to January 2015. The Company intends to transfer these loans to two collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) issuers upon the closing of the CDOs, of which $128.5 million is expected to close by September 2006 and $42.1 million is expected to close by March 2007 (see Notes 10 and 14).

At June 30, 2006, all of the Company’s loans held for investment are current with respect to the scheduled payments of principal and interest. In reviewing the portfolio of loans and the observable secondary market prices, the Company did not identify any loans with characteristics indicating that impairment had occurred. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2006, management of the Company had determined that no allowance for loan losses was needed.

At September 30, 2005, the Company’s syndicated loan portfolio consisted of $97.8 million of floating rate loans. In December 2005, upon closing the CDO, these loans were transferred at cost to an unconsolidated CDO issuer that the Company sponsored. The related secured warehouse credit facility was simultaneously terminated (see Note 10).

NOTE 6 - INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE − (Continued)

Real Estate Loans and Real Estate − (Continued)

Minimum future rental income under non-cancelable operating leases associated with real estate rental properties owned by the Company or real estate consolidated under FIN 46-R that have terms in excess of one year for each of the five succeeding annual periods ended June 30 and thereafter, are as follows: 2007 − $656,000; 2008 - $661,000; 2009 - $626,000; 2010 - $564,000; 2011 - $530,000 and thereafter $1.6 million.

In determining the Company’s allowance for possible losses related to its investments in real estate, the Company considers general and local economic conditions, neighborhood values, competitive over-building, casualty losses and other factors which may affect the value of loans and real estate. The value of loans and real estate may also be affected by factors such as the cost of compliance with regulations and liability under applicable environmental laws, changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Income from a property will be reduced if a significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if available space cannot be rented on favorable terms. In addition, the Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its borrowers and maintains an allowance for estimated losses based upon its historical experience and its knowledge of specific borrower collection issues. The Company reduces its investments in real estate loans and real estate by an allowance for amounts that may become unrealizable in the future. Such allowance can be either specific to a particular loan or property or general to all loans and real estate.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities − Real Estate

Certain entities (“VIEs”) relating to the Company’s real estate business have been consolidated in accordance with FIN 46-R. Due to the timing of the receipt of financial information from third parties, the Company records these entities’ activities on a one quarter lag, except when adjusting for the impact of significant events such as a refinance or sale. The assets, liabilities, revenues and costs and expenses of the VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements are not those of the Company. The liabilities of the VIEs will be satisfied from the cash flows of the VIE, not from the assets of the Company, which has no legal obligation to satisfy those liabilities.

The following tables provide supplemental information about assets, liabilities, revenues and costs and expenses associated with two entities at June 30, 2006 and three entities at September 30, 2005 that were consolidated in accordance with FIN 46-R (in thousands):

In March 2006, the Company entered into two warehouse and master participation agreements with affiliates of JP Morgan Chase, N.A. (“JP Morgan”) and Morgan Stanley (collectively referred to as the “Warehouse Credit Facilities”) to fund its purchases of syndicated bank loans. The Company is charged interest during the warehouse period at LIBOR plus an amount ranging from 50 to 75 basis points in return for a participation interest in the interest earned on the loans. The Warehouse Credit Facilities will expire and interest will be payable upon the closing of two CDOs, which are expected to be completed by September 2006 and March 2007. The facility agreements provide for guarantees by the Company as well as escrow deposits (see Notes 5 and 14).

The Company had a warehouse facility at September 30, 2005 with Credit Suisse First Boston to fund the purchase of syndicated bank loans. The facility was terminated upon the closing of the CDO in December 2005.

Secured revolving credit facilities − equipment finance

The Company’s equipment finance segment, LEAF, has a $75.0 million secured revolving credit facility with National City Bank that expires in September 2006. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at one of two rates elected at the Company’s option: (i) the lender’s prime rate plus 100 basis points, or (ii) LIBOR plus 200 basis points. As of June 30, 2006, the balance outstanding was $65.1 million at a combined interest rate of 7.27%. In addition, LEAF has a $15.0 million secured credit facility with Commerce Bank which expires in July 2006. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at one of two rates, elected at the Company’s option: (i) the lender’s prime rate plus 100 basis points, or (ii) LIBOR plus 200 basis points. As of June 30, 2006, the balance outstanding on this facility was $9.6 million at an interest rate of 7.11%. The underlying equipment being leased or financed collateralizes the borrowings under these facilities. The Company has guaranteed both of these credit facilities.

On July 31, 2006, LEAF entered into a $150.0 million revolving warehouse credit facility with a group of banks led by National City Bank (the “New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility provides for increased borrowing capacity by $60.0 million, extends the termination date beyond its existing facilities to July 31, 2009, and reduces the corporate guarantee to $75.0 million. The existing warehouse facilities with National City Bank and Commerce Bank were repaid and terminated concurrent with the commencement of the New Credit Facility.

Real estate-mortgage loan

On June 30, 2006, the Company obtained a $12.5 million first mortgage on a hotel property in Savannah, Georgia. The mortgage is due on July 6, 2011. The mortgage has a 6.9% fixed interest rate and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $82,300.

Secured revolving credit facility

The Company has an $18.0 million revolving line of credit with Sovereign Bank for which available borrowings are currently limited to $14.9 million based on pledged real estate collateral. Interest is payable monthly at The Wall Street Journal prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 2006) and principal is due upon expiration in July 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the balance outstanding was $2.5 million. On July 25, 2006, the current agreement was amended to allow for $14.0 million of borrowings, subject to availability limitations and the term was extended for three years.

Real estate-FIN 46 mortgage loans

As of June 30, 2006, a VIE consolidated by the Company in accordance with FIN 46 is the obligor under an outstanding first mortgage loan secured by real estate with an outstanding balance totaling $1.6 million. The mortgage loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest at a fixed interest rate of 8.80% and matures in July 2014. The mortgage loan is not a legal obligation of the Company; however, it is senior to the VIE’s obligation to the Company. Loan payments are paid from the cash flow of this entity.

Other debt

On June 15, 2006, the Company borrowed $1.5 million from JP Morgan under a promissory note for the purchase of its equity investment in Trapeza X. The note requires quarterly payments of principal and interest at LIBOR plus 100 basis points and matures in July 2010. The Company’s share of the equity distributions and its share of the collateral management fees from Trapeza X collaterized the borrowings under the note.

The Company has borrowed $950,000 on a secured note with Sovereign Bank. The note, secured by the furniture and computer equipment of the Company’s equipment finance segment, requires monthly payments of principal and interest over five years at a fixed interest rate of 6.87%.

One of the Company’s insurance carriers refused to participate in the settlement. The Company thereafter filed an action seeking recovery on its policy with that carrier. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company prevailed in its action against the carrier, received a $200,000 reimbursement and reversed the $1.0 million accrual.

NOTE 12 − OTHER INCOME, NET − (Continued)

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company received a $1.4 million settlement from one of its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carriers.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded a gain of $1.5 million from the sale of the remaining RAIT Investment Trust shares that it held.

The Company recorded $687,000 and $2.0 million of dividends received from RCC for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. RCC was formed by the Company in March 2005.

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded the following provision for income taxes, as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	June 30,					June 30,
	2006			2005		2006			2005
Provision for income taxes, at estimated effective rate	$	1,346		$	2,541	$	6,723		$	3,168
Deferred tax benefit		(1,024	)		−		(1,024	)		−
Change in valuation allowance		71			−		(3,120	)		−
Provision for income taxes	$	393		$	2,541	$	2,579		$	3,168

As of September 30, 2005, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $5.3 million resulting from state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $77.9 million. A valuation allowance had been established against substantially all of this deferred tax asset, based upon management’s assessment at that time that it was more likely than not that the Company would not be able to utilize the NOLs prior to their expiration.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2006, the Company has implemented tax planning strategies that management believes make it more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize approximately $34.0 million of the NOLs before their expiration.  Accordingly, $3.2 million and $150,000 of the valuation allowance was reversed in the quarters ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, respectively.

In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $1.0 million associated with approximately $15.5 million of local NOLs for which management had previously believed would more likely than not be realized prior to their statutory expiration date.  Management has established a valuation allowance of $221,000 against these NOLs for the portion it believes is unlikely to be realized in future years.

Management will continue to assess its estimate of the amount of NOLs that the Company will be able to utilize.  The estimate of the required valuation allowances could be adjusted in the future if projections of taxable income are revised.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or operations.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES − (Continued)

In conjunction with the sale in March 2006 of a real estate loan accounted for as a FIN 46-R asset, the Company has agreed to make payments to the current property owner under certain stipulated conditions, including the sale or foreclosure of the property or a subsequent resale of the loan. In exchange, the property owner has agreed to relinquish certain critical control rights over the property. A payment of $2.6 million, increasing $16,234 per month to a maximum of $3.6 million, would be due upon the occurrence of specified events. In addition, upon the occurrence of specified events or if the Company’s net worth falls below $80.0 million, the current property owner will have the right to receive collateral as security for this obligation equal to or greater than 105% of the value of the obligation. The Company’s obligation runs through December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company has partially indemnified the purchaser of the loan for a portion of the difference between ordinary income tax rates and capital gain rates on accrued interest on the note between the date of sale of the loan in March 2006 and December 31, 2011.

In March 2006, the Company entered into agreements for the Warehouse Credit Facilities which provide for guarantees by the Company on the first $10.0 million of losses on each of the two portfolios of syndicated bank loans. At June 30, 2006, these guarantees were collateralized by a $5.0 million cash deposit reported as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet. The guarantees expire upon the closing of each respective CDO transaction, which are expected to close by September 2006 and March 2007 (see Notes 5 and 10).

As of June 30, 2006, the Company does not believe it is probable that any payments will be required under any of its indemnifications and accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

As a specialized asset manager, the Company sponsors investment funds in which the Company may make an equity investment along with outside investors. This equity investment is generally based on a percentage of funds raised and varies among investment programs.

Historically, the Company has presented its equity earnings and losses of the Trapeza entities on a one-quarter delay as permitted under generally accepted accounting principles. Beginning with the period ended June 30, 2006, improvements in the timeliness and availability of financial data from the Trapeza entities allow the Company to report its share in those earnings on a current basis. As a result of this change, the Company’s equity in earnings of the Trapeza entities of $1.4 million, net of tax of $983,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 is being reported as a cumulative change in accounting principle as of October 1, 2005.

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

When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “believes” “anticipates,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties more particularly described in Item 1A, under the caption “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2005. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to forward-looking statements which we may make to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview of Three Months and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

 Our total assets under management increased to $10.5 billion at June 30, 2006 from $5.7 billion at June 30, 2005, an increase of $4.7 billion or 82%. The assets at June 30, 2006 include $775.0 million of financial fund management assets that are being held in warehouse facilities pending funding of the related collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, for which we have been engaged as the collateral manager by the issuers of those CDOs. We expect to close one CDO in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and eight CDOs in subsequent periods. The growth in our assets under management was the result of:

· an increase in the financial fund management assets we manage on behalf of individual and institutional investors and Resource Capital Corp., which we refer to as RCC, a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that we sponsored in March 2005;

· an increase in real estate assets managed on behalf of limited partnerships and tenant-in-common, or TIC, property interests that we sponsor and RCC; and

· an increase in equipment finance assets managed on behalf of the limited partnerships we sponsor, Merrill Lynch Equipment Finance, LLC, or Merrill Lynch, and RCC.

The following table sets forth our assets under management^(a) by operating segment and their growth (in millions, except for percentages):

	As of June 30,				Increase
	2006		2005		Amount		Percentage

We earn management and administration fees through the management of these assets as follows:

Assets managed on behalf of institutional and individual investors:

· collateral management fees− these vary by CDO, ranging from an annual fee between 0.08% and 0.75% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral securities owned by the CDO issuers; and

· administration fees− these vary by limited partnership, ranging from between 0.75% and 2.00% of the partnership capital balance.

Assets managed on behalf of RCC:

· base management fee - 1.50% annually of RCC’s equity, as defined under the management agreement with RCC; and

· incentive management fee - 25% of RCC’s net income (as defined in the management agreement) in excess of the greater of a return of 8.00% or the 10-year Treasury rate plus 2.00%.

RCC

In March 2005, we formed RCC (NYSE: RSO), a REIT. RCC’s principal business activity is to purchase and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate−related securities and commercial finance assets. While we do not consolidate RCC in our consolidated financial statements, it is managed by us through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Resource Capital Manager, or RCM. The initial private offering of RCC generated gross proceeds of $230.0 million and net proceeds of $214.8 million to RCC, after deducting the initial purchaser's discount and placement fees and estimated offering expenses. In connection with the formation of RCC, we were granted 345,000 shares of restricted common stock as well as options to purchase 651,666 common shares at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. We have distributed 344,079 of these restricted shares and 649,500 of these options to employees of ours that provide services to RCC. Through June 30, 2006, we have earned approximately $763,000 of incentive management fees, partially paid with the issuance of 13,973 common shares of RCC and partially in cash totaling approximately $582,000.

In February 2006, RCC completed its initial public offering of 4,000,000 shares of common stock (including 1,879,200 shares sold by certain selling stockholders) at a price of $15.00 per share. The offering generated gross proceeds of $31.8 million and net proceeds of $27.3 million to RCC, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and placement fees and estimated offering expenses.

We derive revenues from RCC through its management agreement with RCM. In return for providing certain investment and advisory services, RCM is entitled to receive a base management fee and an incentive management fee. RCM also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses that relate to RCC’s activities. In addition, we have invested $28.5 million in RCC from which we expect to receive quarterly dividends.

We have co-sponsored, structured and currently co-manage ten CDO issuers holding approximately $3.5 billion in trust preferred securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and REITs. At June 30, 2006, we managed $279.3 million in trust preferred securities that were held in a warehouse line of credit in connection with one CDO issuer not yet closed. We anticipate closing Trapeza CDO XI in October 2006.

We own a 50% interest in an entity that manages eight Trapeza CDO issuers in this series and a 33.33% interest in another entity that manages two Trapeza CDO issuers. We also own a 50% interest in the general partners of the limited partnerships that own the equity interests of five Trapeza CDO issuers. We also have invested as a limited partner in each of these limited partnerships.

We derive revenues from these CDO operations through base and incentive management and administration fees. We also receive distributions on amounts we invest in the limited partnerships. Management fees, including incentive fees vary by CDO issuer, but have ranged from between 0.25% and 0.60% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral securities owned by the CDO issuers of which a portion is subordinated. These fees are also shared with our co-sponsors. The fees are payable quarterly or semi-annually, as long as the Trapeza management entity continues as the collateral manager of the CDO issuer. Our interest in distributions from the CDO issuers varies with the amount of our investment in a particular limited partnership and with the terms of our general partner interest. We have incentive distribution interests in four of the partnerships.

Ischus

We sponsored, structured and currently manage five CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors and RCC, holding approximately $3.0 billion in primarily real estate ABS including residential mortgage-backed securities, or RMBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities and credit default swaps. At June 30, 2006, we managed $325.2 million of ABS for two CDOs which we expect to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In addition, Ischus managed approximately $812.8 million of agency RMBS on behalf of RCC at June 30, 2006.

We own a 50% interest in the general partner and manager of Structured Finance Fund, L.P. and Structured Finance Fund II, L.P., collectively referred to as SFF. These partnerships own a portion of the equity interests of three Trapeza CDO issuers and Ischus CDO I. We also have invested as a limited partner in each of these limited partnerships.

We derive revenues from these CDO operations through management and administration fees. We also receive distributions on amounts we invest in the limited partnerships. Management fees vary by CDO issuer, ranging from between 0.08% and 0.40% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral securities owned by the CDO issuer of which a portion is subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs. Our interest in distributions from the CDO issuer varies with the amount of our investment in a particular limited partnership and with the terms of our general partner interest.

Apidos

We sponsored, structured and currently manage three CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors and RCC which hold approximately $994.0 million in syndicated loans, of which $605.1 million of syndicated loans are managed on behalf of RCC for Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III. In addition, at June 30, 2006, we managed $170.6 million of syndicated loans for two CDOs which we expect to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Back to Index

We derive revenues from these CDO operations through base and incentive management fees of up to 0.75% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral loans owned by the CDO issuer of which a portion is subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs.

Other Company Sponsored Partnerships

We sponsored, structured and currently manage three affiliated partnerships for individual and institutional investors holding approximately $15.2 in investments in regional domestic banks. We derive revenues from these operations through an annual management fee, based on 2.0% of equity. We also have invested as the general partner of these partnerships and may receive a carried interest of up to 20% upon meeting specific investor return rates.

We have also sponsored, structured and currently manage another affiliated partnership organized as a hedge fund, holding approximately $17.2 million of residential mortgage-based securities, or RMBS, and $25.7 million of syndicated loans at June 30, 2006. We derive revenues from this partnership through base and incentive management fees. Base management fees are calculated annually at 2.0% of net assets. Incentive management fees are calculated annually at 20% of any cumulative annual net profits. We also have invested as a limited partner in this partnership.

Revenues - Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues increased $2.5 million (53%) to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the increase to the following:

· a $1.6 million increase in fund management fees, primarily from the following:

- a $1.3 million increase in collateral management fees principally as a result of the completion of two new CDOs coupled with a full quarter of collateral management fees for five previously completed CDOs; and

- a $340,000 increase in management fees as a result of four company-sponsored unconsolidated partnerships that commenced operations subsequent to March 2005.

Back to Index

· a $242,000 decrease in RCC management fees and equity compensation, consisting of a $346,000 increase in management fees and a $588,000 decrease in equity compensation. This decrease in equity compensation was primarily the result of our quarterly remeasurement of unvested stock and options of RCC to reflect changes in fair value;

· a $225,000 decrease in revenues from our limited and general partner interests, primarily from the following:

- a $629,000 decrease in net unrealized appreciation in the book value of the partnership securities and swap agreements to reflect current market value; offset by

- a $404,000 increase from our limited and general partner share of the operating results of unconsolidated partnerships we have sponsored.

· a $149,000 increase in our earnings on unconsolidated CDOs as a result of three new investments for the three months ended June 30, 2006; and

· a $1.1 million increase in interest income on loans resulting from the consolidation of two Apidos CDO issuers in our financial statements while they accumulate assets through their warehouse facilities;

· a $144,000 increase in other revenues

Costs and Expenses - Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations decreased $170,000 (7%) for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the increase to the following:

· a $155,000 decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily resulting from:

- a $1.6 million decrease as a result of an increase in reimbursed expenses from our Trapeza, Ischus and Apidos operations; the amount of reimbursed expenses is primarily dependent upon the terms of the transaction; principally offset by

- a $1.2 million increase in wages and benefits as a result of the addition of personnel in response to our growing assets under management; and

- a $153,000 increase in general and administration expenses due to a decrease in reimbursed RCC operating expenses.

Revenues - Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues increased $9.7 million (89%) to $20.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 from $10.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the increase to the following:

· a $3.0 million increase in fund management fees primarily from the following:

- a $2.7 increase in collateral management fees principally as a result of the completion of seven new CDOs coupled with a full nine months of fees for two previously completed CDOs; and

- a $725,000 increase in management fees as a result of four company-sponsored unconsolidated partnerships that commenced operations subsequent to March 2005; partially offset by

- a $335,000 one-time reimbursement fee paid in connection with the formation of Trapeza CDO VII during the nine months ended June 30, 2005. No such fee was earned during the nine months ended June 30, 2006;

· a $2.3 million increase in RCC management fees and equity compensation, consisting of a $1.7 million increase in management fees and a $595,000 increase in equity compensation received on the formation of RCC;

· a $579,000 increase in limited and general partner interests, primarily from the following:

32

Back to Index

- a $946,000 increase in our share of the operating results of unconsolidated partnerships we have sponsored; offset in part by

- a $367,000 decrease in net unrealized appreciation on the adjustment of the book value of our partnership securities and swap agreements to reflect current market value.

· a $130,000 increase in our earnings on unconsolidated CDOs as a result of three new investments during the three months ended June 30, 2006;

· a $250,000 increase in interest income on ABS resulting from the interest spread earned on assets accumulating with a third party through a warehouse facility based on the terms of a warehousing agreement; and

· a $3.5 million increase in interest income on loans held for investment resulting from the consolidation of three Apidos CDO issuers in our financial statements while they accumulate assets through their warehouse facilities. In December 2005, assets relating to one CDO issuer were transferred to the issuer and all assets and liabilities were removed from our consolidated financial statements.

Costs and Expenses − Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005

Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations increased $1.4 million (25%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the increase to the following:

· a $894,000 increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily from:

- a $3.2 million increase in wages and benefits as a result of the addition of personnel in response to growth in our assets under management;

- an $889,000 increase in other operating expenses, primarily related to the addition of personnel and an increase in the cost of financial software programs and publications;

These increases were partially offset by:

- a $2.3 million increase in reimbursed expenses from our Trapeza, Ischus and Apidos operations;

- a $668,000 decrease in professional fees as a result of the expiration of a consulting contract and a decrease in recruiting expenses; and

- a $232,000 increase in reimbursed RCC expenses.

· a $664,000 increase in equity compensation expense related to the 344,079 restricted shares of RCC and 649,500 stock options of RCC that were held by RCM which have been transferred to members of management; and

· a $115,000 decrease in expenses of consolidated partnerships, primarily professional fees.

Results of Operations: Real Estate

In real estate, we manage three types of assets:

· real estate loans, owned assets and ventures, known collectively as our legacy portfolio;

· real estate investment limited partnerships and TIC property interests; and

· commercial real estate mezzanine loans and B notes.

	As of June 30,
	2006		2005
Assets under management (in millions):
Legacy portfolio	$	100	$	307
Real estate investment limited partnerships and TIC property interests		314		175

	$	707	$	507

Back to Index

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, our real estate operations continued to be affected by three principal trends or events:

· our selective resolution of the loans in our legacy portfolio through repayments, sales, refinancings and restructurings;

· growth in our real estate business through the sponsorship of real estate investment partnerships, in which we are also a minority investor, and the sponsorship of TIC property interests which we acquire for sale to investors; and

· our origination, financing and management of commercial real estate mezzanine loans and B notes on behalf of RCC.

The principal effect of these factors has been to reduce our legacy portfolio while increasing our interests in real property and, as a result of repayments, sales, refinancings and restructurings, also increasing our cash flow from loan resolutions.

We had sponsored five real estate investment limited partnerships and four TIC property interests as of June 30, 2006 as compared to four real estate investment limited partnerships and one TIC property interest as of June 30, 2005. In July 2006, we commenced an offering of a sixth real estate investment limited partnership.

We support our real estate investment partnerships by making long-term limited partnership investments. In addition, from time-to-time, we make bridge investments in the underlying partnerships and TIC property interests to facilitate acquisitions. We record losses on these equity method investments primarily as a result of depreciation and amortization expense recorded by the real estate investment partnerships and TIC property interests. As additional investors are admitted to the real estate investment partnerships and TIC property interests, we transfer our bridge investment to new investors at our original cost and recognize a gain approximately equal to the previously recognized losses.

As part of our strategic plan, we are continuing to resolve legacy portfolio through sales and loan resolutions. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we resolved two loans realizing $2.6 million in cash proceeds. In addition, we sold one owned property and received net proceeds of $282,000, plus a $2.8 million note receivable. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, we resolved six loans, sold a portion of one other investment and sold two owned properties realizing $51.0 million in net proceeds, including $5.0 million in notes receivable ($4.8 million balance outstanding at June 30, 2006). As a result, the loans and real estate assets in our legacy loan portfolio, principally outstanding loan receivables, decreased from $306.8 million at June 30, 2005 to $100.5 million at June 30, 2006.

Any gains or losses on resolution of loans, FIN 46 assets and/or other real estate assets and the amount of fees that we may receive will vary by transaction and, accordingly, there may be significant variations in the revenues we record in our real estate segment from period to period.

Revenues - Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues decreased $4.8 million (51%) for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the prior year period. We attribute the decrease to the following:

· a $5.6 million decrease in gains on resolution principally as a result of a refinance and a foreclosure during the three months ended June 30, 2005. A partnership, in which we now own a 30% equity interest, refinanced its mortgage on April 27, 2005. We received net proceeds from the refinancing of $13.6 million which exceeded the recorded value of our then 50% interest and we recognized a $4.2 million a gain. In addition, we foreclosed on a loan that was classified as a FIN 46 asset on our balance sheet. In connection with the foreclosure, we acquired a note payable for $540,000 that was recorded as a FIN 46 liability in the amount of $1.6 million and as a result, we recognized a gain of $1.0 million;

· a $590,000 decrease (29%) in FIN 46 and rental income revenues primarily related to our foreclosure on a hotel property in Savannah, Georgia. As a result of the foreclosure, we included five months of operating income in our results for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to three months of operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2006; and

· a $136,000 decrease (30%) in interest and accreted loan discount revenues resulting primarily from the cessation of accretion on one loan as of July 2005.

These decreases were partially offset by:

· a $199,000 increase in net gains on sale of our real estate investment partnerships and TIC property interests made subsequent to June 30, 2005. We sold 30% of our interest in one TIC property and 29% of our interest in a second TIC property during the three months ended June 30, 2006;

· a $507,000 increase (38%) in fee income related to the purchase and third party financing of properties through the sponsorship of real estate investment partnerships and TIC property interests, including $266,000 of management fees from RCC;

· a $326,000 increase (102%) in management fees due to the additional properties acquired since June 30, 2005; and

· a $523,000 increase (82%) reflecting the decrease in our equity share of operating losses of our unconsolidated real estate investments, due primarily to our real estate investment partnerships.

Costs and Expenses - Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Costs and expenses of our real estate operations were $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $62,000 (2%) as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the increase to the following:

· a $1.0 million increase (70%) in general and administrative expenses primarily due to increased wages and benefits as a result of theaddition of personnel to manage our expanded real estate operations; offset by

· a decrease of $959,000 (54%) in FIN 46 operating and rental expenses related to the hotel property in Savannah, Georgia on which we foreclosed. As a result of the foreclosure, we included five months of operating expense in our results for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to three months of operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues - Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues increased $3.8 million (26%) to $18.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 from $14.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the increase to the following:

· a $5.0 million increase (214%) in fee income related to the purchase and third-party financing of properties, including $762,000 of management fees from RCC;

· a $884,000 increase (109%) in property management fees due to the additional properties acquired since June 30, 2005; and

· a $795,000 increase in net gains on sales of TIC property interests made subsequent to June 30, 2005.

These increases were partially offset by:

· a $1.2 million decrease in gains on resolution of loans, FIN 46 assets and ventures. During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we foreclosed on a loan that was classified as a FIN 46 asset on our balance sheet. In connection with the foreclosure, we acquired a note payable for $540,000 that was recorded on our books as a FIN 46 liability in the amount of $1.6 million, and recognized a gain of $1.0 million; there was no such gain in the nine months ended June 30, 2006;

· a $841,000 (19%) decrease in FIN 46 and rental income revenues primarily related to the hotel located in Savannah, Georgia on which we foreclosed. As a result of the foreclosure, we included 11 months of operating income in our results for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to nine months of operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2006;

· a $499,000 decrease (38%) in interest and accreted loan discount revenues resulting from the resolution of one loan in December 2004 and the cessation of accretion on one loan as of July 2005; and

· an $353,000 increase (201%) in our equity share of operating losses of our unconsolidated real estate investments, due primarily to higher interest expense as a result of a refinance of the first mortgage of the hotel in Savannah, Georgia.

Costs and Expenses − Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005

Costs and expenses of our real estate operations were $8.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $223,000 (4%) as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the increase to the following:

· a $1.5 million increase (33%) in general and administrative expenses primarily due to increased wages and benefits corresponding to our expanded real estate operations; offset by

· a decrease of $1.3 million (38%) in FIN 46 operating and rental expenses related to the hotel located in Savannah, Georgia on which we foreclosed on. As a result of the foreclosure, we included 11 months of operating expense ended June 30, 2005 as compared to nine months of operating expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2006.

Results of Operations: Equipment Finance

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, the growth of our equipment finance operations continued as we increased our assets under management to $549.4 million as of June 30, 2006 as compared to $290.7 million as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $258.7 million (89%). During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, we originated $117.7 million and $315.7 million in new equipment financing as compared to $56.8 million and $178.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $60.9 million (107%) and $137.2 million (77%), respectively. Our equipment finance origination growth was driven by the introduction of new equipment finance products, the expansion of our sales staff and our continued growth in new and existing vendor programs.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, we sold $96.8 million and $276.9 million in equipment financing assets to our investment partnerships, Merrill Lynch and RCC as compared to $41.5 million and $145.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $55.3 million (133%) and an increase of $131.7 million (91%), respectively. The amount of equipment financings sold to those entities generally moves in proportion to origination volume.

In December 2004, Lease Equity Appreciation Fund II, or LEAF II, an equipment leasing partnership we sponsor, began a public offering of up to $60.0 million of limited partnership interests. As of June 30, 2006, LEAF II had raised $33.7 million.

Revenues - Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues increased $2.4 million (69%) and $7.3 million (79%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. We attribute these increases to the following:

· a $754,000 (61%) and $3.5 million (115%) increase, respectively, in finance revenues due to the growth in lease originations and our decision to hold more equipment finance investments on our balance sheet.  We increased our lease originations by $60.9 million (107%) and $137.2 million (77%) to $117.7 million and $315.7 million, respectively;

· a $945,000 (84%) and $1.8 million (65%) increase, respectively, in fund management fees resulting from the increase in assets under management ($549.4 million and $290.7 million as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively); and

· a $754,000 (91%) and $1.9 million (64%) increase, respectively, in asset acquisition fees resulting from the increase in leases sold.

Costs and expenses increased $1.4 million (59%) and $3.4 million (49%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased compensation and benefits costs of $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively. We increased the number of employees by 48 (64%) to 123 at June 30, 2006 from 75 at June 30, 2005 to support the expansion and growth of our operations.  To a lesser extent, we also incurred additional administrative expenses related to the relocation of our main office in November 2005.

Results of Operations: Other Costs and Expenses and Other Income (Expense)

General and administrative costs were $2.4 million and $8.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $583,000 (32%) and $2.4 million (42%) as compared to $1.8 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Payroll and related benefit costs increased by $278,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, in conjunction with the growth in our asset management operations. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, payroll expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $284,000 and $831,000, respectively. Accounting and consulting fees related to our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 increased by $164,000 and $591,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $704,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $36,000 (5%) and $953,000 (65%) as compared to $668,000 and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. We increased our average investment in operating leases during the nine months ended June 30, 2006 by $1.8 million resulting in an increased equipment asset base upon which we recorded depreciation. In addition, we incurred increased depreciation expense of $435,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 on leasehold improvements and furnishings for our expanding operations.

Interest expense was $1.9 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $1.2 million (189%) and $4.0 million (260%) as compared to $648,000 and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The utilization of secured warehouse credit facilities to purchase loans held for investment by our financial fund management business resulted in an increase in interest expense of $882,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Additionally, increased draws on our equipment finance credit facilities to fund the growth of our equipment financing business in loan originations and entry into asset-backed lending along with higher interest rates on borrowings caused an increase in interest expense of $357,000 and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, our operations reflected a $465,000 and $1.2 million charge to earnings, respectively, for minority interests. At June 30, 2006, we owned 15.01% and 36.11% limited partner interests in the SFF entities which invest in the equity of CDO issuers we have formed and a 50% interest in the manager and general partner of SFF. As the general partner, we control the operations of the SFF partnerships and, therefore, include them in our consolidated financial statements and reflect the ownership of the other partners as a minority interest. The three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 reflected minority interest charges of $415,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, for these entities. The fiscal 2005 periods included an additional quarter of expense upon the consolidation of those entities, which until then were reported on a quarter lag.

Other income, net, was $809,000 and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $499,000 (161%) and a decrease of $144,000 (4%) as compared to $310,000 and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The principal components of other income, net, are as follows:

· in fiscal 2002, we charged operations $1.0 million, which was the amount of our maximum exposure relating to the settlement of a lawsuit. One of the insurance carriers refused to participate in the settlement. We thereafter filed an action seeking recovery on our policy with that carrier. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we prevailed in our action against the carrier, received a $200,000 reimbursement and reversed the $1.0 million accrual;

· in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we received a $1.4 million settlement on a claim against one of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carriers;

· during the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded gains totaling $1.5 million from the sale of the remaining RAIT Investment Trust shares that we held; and

· we recorded $687,000 and $2.0 million of dividends received from RCC for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. RCC was formed by us in March 2005.

Our effective tax rate resulted in a tax provision of 11% and 16% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to a provision of 42% and 41% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2006 reflects the savings resulting from tax planning strategies that we have initiated in the current year offset, in part, by an increase in state taxes as a result of the increased profitability of our operating segments. In connection with the implementation of these tax planning strategies, the tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 reflects the reversal of a valuation allowance in connection with the utilization of state net operating loss carryfowards, or NOLs. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $1.0 million associated with approximately $15.5 million of local NOLs for which we had previously believed would not be realized prior to their statutory expiration date.  We established a valuation allowance of $221,000 against these local NOLs for the portion we believe is unlikely to be realized in future years.

Our effective tax rate, as adjusted to exclude the benefit from the change in the valuation allowance and recording the additional local deferred tax asset, would have been 42% for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. We expect our effective tax rate to be 42% for the remainder of fiscal 2006, resulting in an annual projected tax rate of 25%. Future tax rates could change if estimates of taxable income change or if there are changes in our recorded NOLs or their related valuation allowances.

Discontinued Operations

On June 30, 2005, we distributed our remaining 10.7 million shares of Atlas America to our stockholders. Accordingly, we no longer consolidate Atlas America in our financial statements and their results of operations have been reflected as discontinued. In addition, the operations of a FIN 46 entity and two real estate properties owned and held for sale have been reported as discontinued.  One property is held for sale at June 30, 2006.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle

Historically, we have presented our equity pickup in the Trapeza entities on a one-quarter lag as permitted under generally accepted accounting principles. Improvements in the timeliness and availability of financial data from the Trapeza entities have allowed us to report our earnings in these entities on a current basis going forward. As a result of this change, our equity in earnings of the Trapeza entities of $1.4 million, net of tax of $983,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 has been reflected as of October 1, 2005 in the consolidated statements of income as a cumulative change in accounting principle.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. Our major sources of liquidity, exclusive of the cash generated by the operations of Atlas America, have been from the cash generated by operations, resolutions of our real estate legacy portfolio, borrowings under our existing credit facilities and sales of our RAIT shares. We have employed these funds principally to expand our specialized asset management operations, repurchase our shares and to reduce our outstanding debt. We expect to fund our asset management business from a combination of cash to be generated by operations, our working capital distributions from equity investees, and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended
	June 30,
	2006			2005
Used in operating activities of continuing operations	$	(57,157	)	$	(51,326	)
(Used in) provided by investing activities of continuing operations		(318,473	)		2,001
Provided by financing activities of continuing operations		333,470			29,386
Cash retained by entities previously consolidated		(3,825	)		(29,192	)
Provided by discontinued operations		39,855			22,915
Decrease in cash	$	(6,130	)	$	(26,216	)

We had $24.2 million in cash at June 30, 2006, a decrease of $6.2 million (20%) as compared to $30.4 million at September 30, 2005. Our ratio of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, minority interest and interest expense to fixed charges was 4.7 to 1.0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 14.3 to 1.0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. This reduction in our ratio of earnings to fixed charges primarily reflects the increase in interest expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2006. Our working capital deficit was $112.8 million as of June 30, 2006 as compared to a $15.4 million at September 30, 2005. The increase in our working capital deficit of $97.4 million primarily reflects an increase in our current liabilities as a result of the net increase in our secured warehouse financing (a current liability) which is used to finance the acquisition of syndicated bank loans (a non-current asset) for the unconsolidated CDO issuers that we manage. Our ratio of long-term debt (including current maturities) to equity was 139% and 79% at June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. The increase in our debt to equity ratio at June 30, 2006 is also reflective of the net increase in the borrowings under our secured warehouse credit facilities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities.Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations increased by $5.8 million to a $57.1 million use of cash for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to a $51.3 million use of cash for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, substantially as a result of the following:

· an $18.3 million increase in investments in equipment finance; offset by

· a $12.8 million increase in net income generated by our continuing operations, as adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation;

Cash Flows from Investing Activities.Net cash used by the investing activities of our continuing operations increased by $316.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2005, primarily reflecting the purchase of $317.6 million of loans held for investment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by the financing activities of our continuing operations increased by $293.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in our cash flows principally reflects the following:

· an increase in our borrowings, net of repayments, of $326.4 million which principally involved $291.3 million borrowed during the nine months ended June 30, 2006 to fund the purchase of loans held for investment by our financial fund management segment as well as $19.1 million of additional net borrowings to fund our increased investments in our equipment finance operations and $12.5 million in proceeds from the first mortgage we secured on a hotel property in Savannah, Georgia. This increase was offset partially by;

· $13.5 million increase in repurchases of our common stock during the nine months ended June 30, 2006 as part of our Board-approved stock repurchase program; and

· a decrease of $4.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a result of the exercise of employee stock options, principally by the employees of Atlas America as a result of the spin-off in June 2005.

Cash Retained by Entities Previously Consolidated. Atlas America retained $29.2 million of cash as part of the planned spin-off of that segment to our shareholders in June 2005. Additionally, as of December 31, 2005, we no longer consolidated with two affiliated partnerships in our financial fund management segment that invest in regional banks due to a change in the rights of the limited partners to remove us as the general partner. Accordingly, the September 30, 2005 cash balances of these entities are not reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2006.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations. Net cash provided by discontinued operations increased by $16.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2005. We received $39.9 million principally from the sale of three FIN 46 assets during the nine months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $34.9 million as compared to the $5.0 million of proceeds for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. This increase was offset, in part, by the $17.9 million of cash flows generated from the operations of Atlas America.

Capital Requirements

The amount of funds we must commit to investments in our financial fund management, real estate and equipment finance operations depends upon the level of funds raised through financial fund management, real estate and equipment finance programs. We believe cash flows from operations, cash and other working capital and amounts available under our credit facilities will be adequate to fund our contribution to these programs. However, the amount of funds we raise and the level of our investments will vary in the future depending on market conditions.

In March 2006, we entered into two warehouse and master participation agreements with affiliates of JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley. The agreements provide for guarantees by us on the first $10.0 million of losses on each portfolio of syndicated bank loans. These guarantees are secured by cash deposits, of which $5.0 million remains in escrow at June 30, 2006 and is reflected as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet. The guarantees expire upon the closing of each respective CDO transaction which are expected to be completed by September 30, 2006 and March 2007, respectively.

(1) Five real estate investment partnerships in which we have general partner interests have obtained senior lien financing with respect to the eleven properties they acquired. In addition, four TIC investment programs which we have sponsored have obtained senior lien financing with respect to four acquired properties. These senior liens are with recourse only to the properties securing them, subject to certain standard exceptions, which we have guaranteed. These guarantees expire as the related indebtedness is paid down over the next ten years. In addition, property owners have obtained senior lien financing with respect to five of our loans. The senior liens are with recourse only to the properties securing them, subject to certain standard exceptions, which we have guaranteed. These guarantees will expire as the related indebtedness is paid down over the next ten years.

In connection with the sale of a real estate loan in March 2006, we have agreed that in exchange for the current property owner relinquishing certain critical control rights, we will make payments to the current property owner under certain stipulated circumstances, including the sale or foreclosure of the property or a subsequent resale of the loan. A payment of $2.6 million, increasing $16,234 per month to a maximum of $3.6 million, would be due upon the occurrence of specified events. In addition, the current property owner has the right to receive collateral as security for this obligation equal to or greater than 105% of the value of the obligation upon the occurrence of certain specified events or if our net worth falls below $80.0 million. Our obligation runs through December 31, 2014. In addition, we have agreed to partially indemnify the purchaser of the loan for a portion of the difference between ordinary income tax rates and capital gain rates on accrued interest on the note between the date of sale of the loan in March 2006 and December 31, 2011.

As of June 30, 2006, we have determined it to be not probable that any payments will be required under either indemnification and accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

For a detailed discussion on the application of policies critical to our business operations and other accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2005, at Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new FASB standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently determining the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS 140.”  SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It also permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Derivative instruments used to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be accounted for at fair value. Under SFAS 156, an election can also be made for subsequent fair value measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities by class, thus simplifying the accounting and provide for income statement recognition of potential offsetting changes in the fair value of servicing assets, servicing liabilities and related derivative instruments. The Statement will be effective beginning the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.  We do not currently expect that the adoption of SFAS 156 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in our assessment of our sensitivity to market risk since the presentation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

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

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EX-10.7(P)

SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING

CREDITAGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT

THIS SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT (this “Sixteenth Amendment”) is made as of June 28, 2006, by and among LEAF FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation with offices previously at 1845 Walnut Street, 10^th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 and now at 1818 Market Street, 9^th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19103 (“Leaf Financial”) and LEAF FUNDING, INC., a Delaware corporation with offices at 110 S. Poplar Street, Suite 101, Wilmington, Delaware 19801(“Leaf Funding”, and together with Leaf Financial, each a “Debtor” and, collectively, the “Debtors”) and NATIONAL CITY BANK, a national banking association with offices at One South Broad Street, 14^th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107 (“Secured Party”).

BACKGROUND

A.On June 11, 2002, Leaf Financial and Secured Party entered into that certain Revolving Credit Agreement and Assignment (the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Secured Party promised from time to time to make loans to Leaf Financial, evidenced by a master note of even date therewith.

B.On April 1, 2003, the Credit Agreement was amended to add Leaf Funding as a debtor pursuant to a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement of even date therewith. The Credit Agreement has thereafter been amended from time to time.

C.Debtors and Secured Party mutually desire to further amend the Credit Agreement and are entering into this Sixteenth Amendment to set forth their entire understanding and agreement with respect thereto.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement is further amended as follows:

A.Amendment. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to provide that the “Commitment Termination Date” described in Section 1(a) of the Credit Agreement shall occur on September 30, 2006, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

B.Consent. Secured Party hereby consents to the foregoing Amendment and waives all prohibitions thereto in the Credit Agreement. Such consent and waiver does not, however, constitute a waiver to any future actions prohibited by the Credit Agreement.

C.General Provisions.

1.Except as expressly set forth herein, the Credit Agreement remains unmodified and will continue in full force and effect. The parties hereto will construe all other provisions of the Credit Agreement to give effect to the provisions hereof.

2.This Sixteenth Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their nominees, successors and assigns.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Resource America, Inc.:

At your request, we have read the description included in your Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, of the facts relating to the change in accounting for equity method investments. We believe, on the basis of the facts so set forth and other information furnished to us by appropriate officials of Resource America, Inc., that the accounting change described in your Form 10-Q is an alternative application of an accounting principle that is preferable under the circumstances. We have not audited any consolidated financial statements of Resource America, Inc. as of any date or for any period subsequent to September 30, 2005. Therefore, we are unable to express, and we do not express, an opinion on the facts set forth in the above-mentioned Form 10-Q, on the related information furnished to us by officials of Resource America, Inc., or on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of Resource America, Inc. as of any date or for any period subsequent to September 30, 2005.

Yours truly,

GRANT THORNTON LLP
