NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2009

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – MANAGEMENT’S OPINION REGARDING INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Resource America, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: REXI) is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its commercial finance, real estate and financial fund management operating segments.  As a specialized asset manager, the Company seeks to develop investment funds for outside investors for which the Company provides asset management services, typically under long-term management and operating arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of the sponsored fund.  The Company limits its investment vehicles to investment areas where it owns existing operating companies or has specific expertise.  The Company manages assets on behalf of institutional and individual investors and Resource Capital Corp. (“RCC”) (NYSE: RSO), a diversified real estate finance company that qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”).

The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in the notes thereto as of June 30, 2009 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 present fairly 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, 2008 (“fiscal 2008”).  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 (“fiscal 2009”).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned except for (a) two structured finance funds (the “SFF entities”), (b) a 19.99% member interest in a limited liability company holding a hotel property and (c) LEAF Financial Corp. (“LEAF”) in which the senior executives held a 14.1% interest as of June 30, 2009.  In December 2008, LEAF repurchased 300,000 noncontrolling shares of which 215,000 shares were reissued to senior executives as restricted stock awards in April 2009.

The Company is the general and a limited partner of the SFF entities.  The limited partners do not have the substantive ability to remove the general partner without cause based on a simple majority vote.  In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights,” the Company, as the general partner, is presumed to control these entities, and therefore consolidates the limited partnerships.  Investment securities available-for-sale contain the interests in unconsolidated collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) issuers owned by the Company and interests owned by the SFF entities that the Company controls and, as a result, are consolidated in its financial statements.  The Company's combined general and limited partner interests in the SFF entities range from 15% to 36% and the interests owned by third parties are reflected as minority interests.

When the Company obtains an explicit or implicit interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and, if so, whether or not the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as revised (“FIN 46-R”).  Generally, the Company consolidates VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or for non-VIEs which the Company controls.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the variable interest holder that absorbs the majority of the variability in the expected losses or the residual returns of the VIE.  When determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers its aggregate explicit and implicit variable interests as a single variable interest.  If the Company’s single variable interest absorbs the majority of the variability in the expected losses or the residual returns of the VIE, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  The Company reconsiders its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE if certain events occur, as described in FIN 46-R.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company has two real estate interests wherein the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the entities are included in the consolidated financial statements.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

Deconsolidation of Entities

Apidos CDO VI.  In December 2007, the Company acquired for $21.3 million all of the equity interest of Apidos CDO VI and consolidated it under FIN 46-R.  In March 2009, the Company agreed to all the terms and conditions to sell its interest in Apidos CDO VI and assign its investment management responsibilities to the buyer.  This transaction settled on May 6, 2009.  As a result of the agreement and sale, the Company deconsolidated Apidos CDO VI from its consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009.  The Company received proceeds of $7.2 million and recognized a loss of $11.6 million on the transaction.  The Company has no further loss exposure with respect to Apidos CDO VI.

LEAF Commercial Finance Fund (“LCFF”).  In March 2009, two of LEAF’s investment partnerships, LEAF Equipment Leasing Income Fund III, L.P. (“LEAF III”) and LEAF Equipment Finance Fund 4, L.P. (“LEAF 4”), formed a joint venture, LEAF Funds Joint Venture 2, LLC (“JV2”).  LEAF III and LEAF 4 invested $10.0 million into JV2, which in turn acquired a portion of LEAF’s interest in LCFF and repaid LEAF for amounts due from LCFF.  No gain or loss was recorded and LEAF maintained voting control of LCFF.  As a result of the transaction, LCFF was determined to be a VIE for which JV2 was determined to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, LEAF no longer consolidates LCFF.  Accordingly, $195.0 million of commercial finance assets and $187.6 million of debt financing in addition to the associated interest rate swaps and caps on the debt were transferred to JV2.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company accounts for the investments it has in the commercial finance, real estate and financial fund management investment vehicles it has sponsored and manages in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,” since the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of these entities.

Commercial finance.  The Company has interests in four company-sponsored commercial finance partnerships (one of which is currently in the offering stage).  The Company’s combined general and limited partner interests in these partnerships range from approximately 1% to 6%.

Real estate. The Company has sponsored and manages eight real estate limited partnerships, including two in the offering stage, five limited liability companies and seven tenant in common (“TIC”) property interest programs that invest in multifamily residential properties.  The Company’s combined interests in these investment entities and programs range from approximately 3% to 11%.

Financial fund management.  The Company has general and limited partnership interests in five company-sponsored and managed partnerships that invest in regional banks.  The Company’s combined general and limited partnership interests in these partnerships range from approximately 5% to 10%.  The Company also has a combined 8% general and limited partnership interest in, and manages, an affiliated partnership organized as a credit opportunities fund that invests in bank loans and high yield bonds.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting period.  The Company makes estimates of its allowance for credit losses as well as the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.  Significant estimates for the commercial finance segment include the unguaranteed residual values of leased equipment, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill and the fair value and effectiveness of interest rate swaps.  The financial fund management segment makes assumptions in determining the fair value of its investments in securities available-for-sale.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2008 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2009 presentation, including:

· security deposits, previously included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, were reclassified to investments in commercial finance assets held for investment, net and held for sale, net; and

· loss on sale of loans and leases and impairment charges on investment securities available-for-sale were separately disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations.

Based on the Company’s discontinuance of one of its operating entities, the respective operations of that business have been reclassified as discontinued.

Loans

Loans held for investment and loans sold, not settled.  Prior to March 31, 2009, Apidos CDO VI was consolidated in accordance with FIN 46-R and purchased participations in secured bank loans in the secondary market and through syndications of newly originated loans.  These loans were held for investment and, as such, were initially recorded at their purchase price and subsequently accounted for based on their outstanding principal plus or minus any unamortized premiums or discounts and reduced as needed by an allowance for credit losses.  Purchases and sales of loans held for investment were recorded on a trade date basis.  Trades that did not settle as of the end of the period were classified as loans sold, not settled.  Gains and/or losses on sales of loans held for investment were recorded as of the trade date.

Interest income on these loans included interest at stated rates as adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts.  Premiums and discounts were amortized or accreted into interest income using the effective interest method which recognized a level interest rate as a percentage of the carrying amount of the loan.

Real estate loans.  Real estate loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned income and an allowance for credit losses, if necessary.  These loans are included in investments in real estate in the consolidated balance sheets.  Interest on these loans is calculated based upon the principal amount outstanding.  Accrual of interest is stopped on a loan when management believes, after considering economic factors, business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

An impaired real estate loan may remain on accrual status during the period in which the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan.  However, the loan is placed on non-accrual status at such time as either (1) management believes that contractual debt service payments will not be met; (2) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; (3) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment; or (4) the net realizable value of the loan’s underlying collateral less estimated selling costs approximates the Company’s carrying value of such loan.  While on non-accrual status, the Company recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received.  The balance of impaired loans as of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was $1.6 million.  The Company recorded a provision of $427,000 and $456,000 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, for the impaired loan, increasing the allowance for credit losses to $1.6 million.

The Company maintains an allowance for real estate loans at a level deemed sufficient to absorb probable losses.  The Company considers general and local economic conditions, neighborhood values, competitive overbuilding, casualty losses and other factors that may affect the value of real estate loans.  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 reviews all loans on a quarterly basis and continually monitors collections and payments from its borrowers and maintains an allowance for credit 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 real estate loans and real estate.

The Company holds a real estate loan that it acquired at a discount due to credit quality which it accounts for in accordance with the provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer.”  The Company accretes the difference between its cost basis and the sum of projected cash flows from this loan into interest income over the estimated life of the loan using the interest method.  The Company reviews projected cash flows, which include amounts realizable from the underlying property, on a regular basis.  Changes to projected cash flows, which can be based upon updated property appraisals, changes to the property and changes to the real estate market in general, reduce or increase the amounts accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan.

Investments in Commercial Finance

Investments in commercial finance assets.  The Company’s investments in commercial finance assets consist of loans, direct financing leases, operating leases and future payment card receivables.  Leases are recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and its various amendments and interpretations.  Those investments that the Company is holding for sale to its leasing investment partnerships are reflected separately at fair value as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets.

Loans. For term loans, the investment consists of the sum of the total future minimum loan payments receivable less unearned finance income.  Unearned finance income, which is recognized as revenue over the term of the financing by the effective interest method, represents the excess of the total future minimum contracted payments over the original cost of the loan.  For all other loans, interest income is recorded at the stated rate on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected.

Direct financing leases.  Certain of the Company’s lease transactions are accounted for as direct financing leases (as distinguished from operating leases).  Such leases transfer substantially all benefits and risks of equipment ownership to the customer.  The Company’s investment in direct financing leases consists of the sum of the total future minimum contracted payments receivable and the estimated unguaranteed residual value of leased equipment, less unearned finance income.  Unearned finance income, which is recognized as revenue over the term of the financing by the effective interest method, represents the excess of the total future minimum lease payments plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value expected to be realized at the end of the lease term over the cost of the related equipment.  Initial direct costs incurred in the consummation of the lease are capitalized as part of the investment in lease receivables and amortized over the lease term as a reduction of the yield.

The Company discontinues recognizing revenue for leases and loans for which payments are more than 90 days past due.  The amount of leases and loans on non-accrual totaled $2.7 million at June 30, 2009 and $3.4 million at September 30, 2008.

Operating leases.  Leases not meeting any of the criteria to be classified as direct financing leases are deemed to be operating leases.  Under the accounting for operating leases, the cost of the leased equipment, including acquisition fees associated with lease placements, is recorded as an asset and depreciated on a straight line basis over the equipment’s estimated useful life, generally up to seven years.  Rental income consists primarily of monthly periodic rental payments due under the terms of the leases.  The Company recognizes rental income on a straight line basis.

During the lease term of existing operating leases, the Company may not recover all of the cost and related expenses of its rental equipment and, therefore, it is prepared to remarket the equipment in future years.  The Company’s policy is to review, on at least a quarterly basis, the expected economic life of its rental equipment in order to determine the recoverability of its undepreciated cost.  The Company writes down its rental equipment to its estimated net realizable value when it is probable that its carrying amount exceeds such value and the excess can be reasonably estimated; gains are only recognized upon actual sale of the rental equipment.  There were no write-downs of equipment during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Investments in Commercial Finance – (Continued)

Future payment card receivables.  Merit Capital Advance (“Merit”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, provides capital advances to small businesses based on future credit card receipts.  Revenues from this operation are recorded under the effective interest method.  The Company discontinues recognizing revenue for future payment card receivables when no payments have been received for 60 days.  The amount of future payment card receivables on non-accruals totaled $3.4 million at June 30, 2009 and $3.1 million at September 30, 2008.

Allowance for credit losses.  The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses in commercial finance (including investments in leases, loans and future payment card receivables) based upon, among other factors, management’s historical experience with the commercial finance portfolios it manages, an analysis of contractual delinquencies, economic conditions and trends, industry statistics and equipment finance portfolio characteristics, as adjusted for expected recoveries.  In evaluating historic performance of leases and loans, the Company performs a migration analysis, which estimates the likelihood that an account progresses through delinquency stages to ultimate write-off.  For Merit, the allowance for losses is based upon its previous loss history, economic conditions and trends.  The Company’s policy is to charge-off to the allowance those financings which are in default and for which management has determined the probability of collection to be remote.

Investments in commercial finance assets - held for sale.  Commercial finance assets, which the Company does not have the intent to hold until maturity, are classified as commercial finance assets held for sale.  These investments, which primarily consist of loans and direct financing leases, are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.  Cost basis includes deferred origination fees and costs.  Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flow models.

Transfers and servicing of financial assets.  The Company routinely sells its investments in commercial finance assets held for sale to its affiliated leasing partnerships as well as third parties.  Under SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” leases and loans are accounted for as sold when control of the lease is surrendered.  Control over the leases are deemed surrendered when (1) the leases have been transferred to the leasing partnership or third party, (2) the buyer has the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the leases and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the leases through either (a) an agreement that entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase or redeem the leases before maturity, or (b) the ability to unilaterally cause the buyer to return specific leases.  In connection with these sales, the Company is the General Partner of the leasing partnerships and the servicer of the leases.  Subsequent to the sale, the Company remains the servicer for the leases and loans sold to its leasing partnerships and, in some cases, for those assets sold to third parties.  In exchange, the Company receives “adequate compensation” as defined under SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - An Amendment of FASB Statement 140.”  The assets and liabilities associated with the respective servicing agreements are not material and are offsetting; accordingly, they are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale, including its investments in CDO issuers, are carried at fair value.  The fair value of these CDO investments is based primarily on internally generated expected cash flow models that require significant management judgment and estimation due to the lack of market activity and unobservable pricing inputs.

The Company’s interests in CDO issuers are accounted for in accordance with EITF 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets” (“EITF 99-20”).  In December 2008, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF 99-20.”  In accordance with FSP EITF 99-20-1, the Company recognizes a realized loss through earnings when it is probable there has been an adverse change in the security holder’s estimated cash flow from previous projections.  This treatment is consistent with the impairment model in SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”  Accordingly, the security is written down to fair value, and the unrealized loss is transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the statement of operations as a reduction of current earnings.  The cost basis adjustment for an other-than-temporary impairment would be recoverable only upon the sale or maturity of the security.

Goodwill

In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized.  Instead, a review for impairment is performed at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate impairment might have occurred.  The annual assessment date is May 31.  Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level using a two-step process.  The first step is a screen for potential impairment.  In this process, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value.  If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit, goodwill is considered not impaired and no further testing is required. If an impairment to goodwill is identified in step one, the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying amount in step two.  The implied fair value of goodwill is computed by subtracting the sum of the fair values of the individual asset categories (tangible and intangible) from the indicated fair value of the reporting unit as determined under step one.  If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.

The Company utilizes the discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of its reporting units for its impairment review of goodwill.  The discounted cash flow approach requires assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates.  These assumptions are based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions.

In fiscal 2007, the Company’s commercial finance segment acquired the leasing division of Pacific Capital Bank N.A. and recorded goodwill of $8.0 million.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the market price of the Company’s common stock declined below its book value.  The Company determined that this decline reflected general market conditions and, more specifically for the Company, the reduced availability of financing for its commercial finance business and the resulting impact on its ability to grow that business through the acquisition of assets.  Accordingly, the Company determined that a triggering event under SFAS 142 had occurred and performed, as of December 31, 2008, an interim assessment of goodwill for impairment at the commercial finance reporting unit.  Based on the test results that were internally generated, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of its goodwill at December 31, 2008.  The Company tests for impairment on an annual basis as of May 31st each year.  Based on preliminary results from the Company’s outside consultants, the Company determined that there was no impairment of goodwill at May 31, 2009.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

Codification of U.S. GAAP.  In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  SFAS 168 identifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the authoritative source of U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws are also authoritative sources of U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for the Company beginning the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

Contingencies in Business Combinations.  In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP SFAS 141R-1”).  This FSP amends and clarifies SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations” (discussed below), to require that an acquirer recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period.  If the acquisition-date fair value of such an asset acquired or liability assumed cannot be determined, the acquirer should apply the provisions of SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, to determine whether the contingency should be recognized at the acquisition date or after it.  FSP SFAS 141R-1 will be effective for the Company for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is after October 1, 2009.

Quantitatively Valuing VIEs.  In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, “Amendments to FIN 46-R,” which requires a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and an ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. SFAS 167 is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2010.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective – (Continued)

Postretirement Plan. In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.”  FSP FAS 132(R)-1 requires enhanced disclosures about the plan assets of a company’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.  The enhanced disclosures required by this FSP are intended to provide users of financial statements with a greater understanding of: (1) how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; (2) the major categories of plan assets; (3) the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; (4) the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period; and (5) significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. This FSP is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.

Participating Securities.  In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.”  FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share.”  Under the guidance in FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  All prior-period earnings per share data presented will be adjusted retrospectively.  FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2010.

Useful Life of Intangible Assets.In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3,“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.”  FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing a renewal or extension of assumptions used for purposes of determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  FSP FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and U.S. GAAP standards.  FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2010.

Business Combinations.In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations.”  This Statement replaces SFAS 141 but retains its fundamental requirement that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination.  This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations made by the Company on or after October 1, 2009.  While the Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, that SFAS 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

Noncontrolling Interests.  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.”  This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 160 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2010.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact that these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

Fair Value and Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (“OTTI”).  In April 2009, the FASB issued the following new accounting standards related to fair value and other-than-temporary impairment which the Company adopted in the quarter ending June 30, 2009:

i. FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed” (“FSP FAS 157-4”).  This pronouncement provides for a two-step approach in determining whether or not a market is active and further provides that  if a transaction would then be considered to be distressed, the entity should use it own judgment rather than relying on observable transactions within a market that is not active.

ii. FSP FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2, and EITF 99-20-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2, and EITF 99-20-2”) require an entity to recognize an OTTI only at the time at which it intends or is required to sell the asset prior to the recovery of its cost basis.  The guidance also changes the presentation of OTTI for debt securities that the entity does not intend to sell.  Under this FSP, impairments are separated into two components: (i) the amount of impairments related to credit losses and (ii) and the amount related to other factors. The amount of impairment related to credit losses is reflected as a charge to earnings, while the amount deemed to be related to other factors is reflected as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity through other comprehensive income.

iii. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” amend SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements.  This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.

Subsequent Events.  In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued.  The Company adopted SFAS 165 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133.”  The requirements of SFAS 161 have been applied on a prospective basis.  Accordingly, disclosures related to interim periods prior to the date of adoption have not been presented.

Fair Value Measurements in Inactive and Distressed Markets.  In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not Active.”  FSP SFAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive.  The guidance in FSP SFAS 157-3 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in VIEs.In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46-R”).  FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46-R amends FASB SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets.  It also amends FIN 46-R to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a VIE, to provide additional disclosures about the VIE.  Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a special purpose entity (“SPE”) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor of financial assets to the qualifying SPE.  The disclosures required by FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46-R are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with VIEs and qualifying SPEs.  The Company adopted this pronouncement as of October 1, 2008 and has included the appropriate disclosures within its consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles − (Continued)

Disclosure about Credit Derivatives and Guarantees.In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement 133 and FASB Interpretation 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement 161.”  FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 are intended to improve disclosures about credit derivatives by requiring more information about the potential adverse effects of changes in credit risk on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the sellers of credit derivatives.  The Company adopted this pronouncement as of December 31, 2008 and has included the appropriate disclosures within its consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009.

Fair Value Measurements.In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of SFAS 115," which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates.  Entities choosing the fair value option would be required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  The Company has elected to not to apply SFAS 159 to any of its existing assets or liabilities.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities except as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-3 as previously described.  SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.  This standard also requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports.  The adoption of SFAS 157 by the Company as of October 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 restricted cash.  The Company places its temporary cash investments and restricted cash in high quality short-term money market instruments with high-quality financial institutions and brokerage firms.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had $21.8 million (excluding restricted cash) in deposits at various banks, of which $17.5 million was over the temporary insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $250,000 through December 31, 2013.  No losses have been experienced on such investments.

NOTE 4 − 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, into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised, as well as the dilutive effect of other award plans, including restricted stock and director units.

Outstanding options to purchase 1,068,000 and 1,004,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $32.64 and $36.13 per share, respectively, and 410,000 and 608,000 shares of unvested restricted stock at a weighted average price of $14.52 and $15.83 per share, respectively, were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 due to the option exercise price and the grant date price for the restricted stock grants being greater than the average market price for the respective periods.

The unrealized losses in the above table are considered to be temporary impairments due to market factors and are not reflective of credit deterioration.  The Company has performed credit analyses in relation to these investments and believes the carrying value of these investments to be fully recoverable over their expected holding period.  The Company considers, among other factors, the expected cash flows to be received from investments, recent transactions in the public markets, portfolio quality and industry sector of the investees when determining impairment.  Further, because of its intent and ability to hold these investments, the Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be other-than-temporary impairments.

Realized losses.  The global credit markets have been subject to substantial volatility and reduction in liquidity.  This volatility and reduction in liquidity has affected banks, thrifts and other financial institutions as well as direct and indirect real estate investments.  There were no charges recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2009.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded charges of $8.0 million for the other-than-temporary impairment of certain of its investments in CDO issuers, primarily those with investments in bank loans ($4.9 million, including $2.0 million in Europe) and financial institutions ($3.1 million).  During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded charges of $7.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively, for the other-than-temporary impairment of certain of its investments in CDO issuers, primarily those with investments in financial institutions ($2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively) and real estate asset-backed securities, including residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities ($4.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively).

VIE Not Consolidated

In May 2008, the Company through its real estate segment, entered into a joint venture with an institutional partner to originate, invest in and manage distressed real estate assets.  Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the institutional partner has provided a $500.0 million credit facility to RRE VIP Borrower, LLC (“VIP Borrower”), a VIE and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which will acquire and manage the distressed assets.  As loans are made under the facility, VIP Borrower must contribute 3% of each acquired asset as equity and has a right to acquire a 2% participation in the associated funding for that asset under the facility.  The facility is available until May 1, 2010.  Each loan will have a 60-month term during which interest will accrue at 12% per annum.  Each loan will be repaid from gross receipts of the underlying loan or real estate asset securing such loan.  In addition to accrued interest, the institutional partner will be entitled to distributions of net available cash flow, after payment/reimbursement of costs, protective advances, management fees, interest, and equity, as follows: 75% to the institutional partner and 25% to VIP Borrower until the institutional partner has earned an 18% internal rate of return; thereafter, 60% will be distributed to the institutional partner and 40% to VIP Borrower.  Accordingly, the institutional partner will receive the majority of the expected losses/residual returns and, as a result, was determined to be the primary beneficiary.  As such, VIP Borrower is not consolidated by the Company.  The Company’s maximum loss exposure on VIP Borrower is limited to its investment, which was $1.3 million at June 30, 2009.

Commercial Finance - Secured revolving credit facility.

National City Bank.  In July 2006, LEAF entered into a $150.0 million revolving warehouse credit facility with a group of banks led by National City Bank that expires on July 31, 2009.  The loan was extended on July 31, 2009 to September 30, 2009 while LEAF negotiates a longer-term renewal.  Interest is charged at one of two rates: (i) the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.5%, or (ii) the prime rate.  The facility is non-recourse to the Company and the underlying equipment being leased or financed collateralizes the borrowings.  In September 2007, LEAF entered into a two-year $75.0 million interest rate swap agreement in order to mitigate the effect of fluctuations in LIBOR.  Weighted average borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $117.7 million and $141.5 million, respectively, at effective interest rates of 4.9% and 5.4%, respectively.  Weighted average borrowings for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $132.5 million and $135.0 million, respectively, at effective interest rates of 4.8% and 5.9%, respectively.

Weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 were $38.9 million and $42.0 million, respectively, at effective interest rates of 8.7% and 7.6%, respectively.  Weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 were $55.6 million and $52.1 million, respectively, at effective interest rates of 5.6% and 6.7%, respectively.  As of June 30, 2009, the borrowings outstanding were $33.9 million and the line was fully utilized.

Sovereign Bank.  The Company has a $14.0 million revolving line of credit with Sovereign Bank that expires on July 27, 2009.  The lender has agreed to extend the maturity date to August 31, 2009 while the Company negotiates a longer-term renewal.  The facility is currently secured by certain investment securities available-for-sale.  Availability based on the value of the collateral was $1.1 million and limited to $542,000 net of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2009.  Interest is charged at one of two rates elected at the Company’s option: (i) LIBOR plus 2.0%, or (ii) the prime rate.  Weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 were $578,000 and $4.0 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 3.3% and 5.2%, respectively.  Weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 were $7.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively, at effective interest rates of 6.0% and 7.0%, respectively.

Covenants

The Company’s debt agreements are subject to certain financial covenants which are customary for the type and size of its related debt facilities.  The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2009.

Covenants for the Company’s commercial finance secured revolving credit facility, as defined in the loan agreement, include minimum tangible net worth, maximum leverage ratios and interest coverage.  The minimum tangible net worth covenant measures the Company’s and LEAF’s equity as adjusted for intangibles and certain components of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The maximum leverage covenants restrict the amount LEAF can borrow based on a ratio of its borrowings to net worth.  Debt service ratios measure LEAF’s ability to produce sufficient cash flow to meet its annual interest and payments on borrowings.

For the Company’s corporate secured revolving credit facilities, debt covenants include consolidated tangible net worth, debt service coverage ratios and debt to equity ratios.  The debt to equity ratio restricts the amount of recourse debt the Company can issue based on a ratio of recourse debt to net worth adjusted for certain components of accumulated other comprehensive income related to hedge accounting.

Financial Fund Management – Apidos CDO VI senior notes.  In December 2007, the Company closed and acquired all of the equity interest in Apidos CDO VI, which had issued $218.0 million of its own senior notes at par.  The investments held by Apidos CDO VI collateralized the debt and, as a result, were not available to the Company, its creditors or stockholders.  The senior notes were non-recourse to the Company and consisted of the following classes: (i) $181.5 million of class A-1 notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 0.64%; (ii) $6.0 million of class A-2 notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%; (iii) $13.0 million of class B notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%; (iv) $8.0 million of class C notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 4.0%; and (v) $9.5 million of class D notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 6.75%.  The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 5.9%.  The weighted average interest rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 4.6% and 5.9%, respectively.  As of March 31, 2009, the Company recorded the sale of its interest in Apidos CDO VI, inclusive of these senior notes.

Financial Fund Management - secured warehouse credit facilities.  The Company was a party to various warehouse credit agreements for facilities which provided funding for the purchase of bank loans in the U.S. and Europe.  Borrowings under these facilities were consolidated by the Company in accordance with FIN 46-R while the assets were accumulating.  Upon the termination or closing of the offerings of the respective CDO issuers, the facilities were terminated and the interest was paid.  The following warehouse facilities were terminated during fiscal 2008:

· Morgan Stanley $300.0 million facility - opened in July 2007 with interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% and was closed on January 16,2008.  Average borrowings for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 were $17.0 million, at an effective interest rate of 5.8%.

NOTE 14 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s investments in commercial finance assets are structured on a fixed-rate basis, but the Company’s borrowings through the related bank debt is obtained on a floating-rate basis.  As a result, the Company is exposed to a certain degree of risk if interest rates rise, which in turn will increase the Company’s borrowing costs.  In addition, when the Company acquires assets, it bases its pricing in part on the spread it expects to achieve between the interest rate it charges its customers and the effective interest cost the Company will pay when it funds the respective borrowings.  Increases in interest rates that increase the Company’s permanent funding costs between the time the assets are originated and the time they are funded could narrow, eliminate or even reverse this spread.

NOTE 14 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS – (Continued)

To manage interest rate risk, the Company employs a hedging strategy using derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges.  Accordingly, changes in fair value of those derivatives are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged forecasted interest payments are recognized in earnings.  The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  The Company manages the credit risk of possible counterparty default in the derivative transactions by dealing exclusively with counterparties with high credit quality.  The Company has an agreement with its derivative counterparty that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of the Company's indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty.  Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.  As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $552,000.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements.  If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2009, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $560,000.

Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, the Company determines whether a high degree of initial effectiveness exists between the change in the value of the hedged forecasted transaction and the change in the value of the derivative from a movement in interest rates.  High effectiveness means that the change in the value of the derivative is expected to provide a high degree of offset against changes in the value of the hedged forecasted transactions caused by changes in interest rate risk.  The Company measures the effectiveness of each cash flow hedge throughout the hedge period.  Any hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedging relationships, as defined by U.S. GAAP, will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s hedging strategies or techniques will be effective, that profitability will not be adversely affected during any period of change in interest rates, or that the costs of hedging will not exceed the benefits.

Derivative instruments are reported at fair value as of June 30, 2009 as follows (in thousands, except number of contracts):

	Notional Amount		Termination Date of Swap	Derivative Liability Reported in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities		Number of Contracts
Interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge	$	75,000	September 2009	$	552		1

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with cash flow hedge activities were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Balance, beginning of period	$	(1,190	)	$	(11,067	)	$	(2,503	)	$	(732	)
Current period changes in fair value, net of tax of $349, $1,281, $4,861 and $(1,159)		479			3,102			(1,378	)		(1,753	)
Transfer of interest rate swaps and caps to affiliated entities, net of tax of $0, $3,083, $3,574 and $0		−			5,480			3,170			−
Balance, end of period	$	(711	)	$	(2,485	)	$	(711	)	$	(2,485	)

As of June 30, 2009, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss were unrealized net losses of $319,000 (net of tax benefit of $233,000) on one swap.  The Company recognized no gain or loss during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 for hedge ineffectiveness.  Assuming market rates remain constant with the rates at June 30, 2009, the Company estimates that approximately $319,000 (net of tax benefit of $233,000) of the loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be recognized into earnings over the next 12 months.

In addition, as of June 30, 2009, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is a net unrealized loss of $392,000 (net of tax benefit of $284,000) related to hedging instruments held by the commercial finance investment partnerships in which the Company owns an equity interest.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES

The tax rates used to determine deferred tax assets or liabilities are the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The future realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  The Company continually evaluates its ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies.  A valuation allowance is required to be established unless management determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will ultimately realize the tax benefit associated with a deferred tax asset.

The Company is subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and by the taxing authorities in states in which the Company has significant business operations, such as Pennsylvania and New York.  The Company is not currently undergoing any examinations by taxing authorities.  The Company is not subject to IRS examination for fiscal years before 2005 and is not subject to state and local income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2002.

The effective income tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operation, before taxes) was 93% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 reflecting the impact of state tax benefits recorded this fiscal quarter relative to the pre-tax loss.

Effective October 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of SFAS 109.”  FIN 48 prescribes that a tax position should only be recognized if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority.  A tax position that meets this threshold is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The Company is required under FIN 48 to disclose its accounting policy for classifying interest and penalties, the amount of interest and penalties charged to expense each period as well as the cumulative amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.  The Company will continue to classify any tax penalties as general and administrative expenses and any interest as interest expense.  The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate and does not anticipate significant adjustments to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next three months.

NOTE 16 − STOCK−BASED COMPENSATION

Employee stock options.  The Company has four employee stock plans: the 1997 Plan, the 1999 Plan, the 2002 Plan and the 2005 Plan.  Grants generally become exercisable 25% per year after the date of grant but may vest immediately at management’s discretion and expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.

The Company’s employee stock plans allow for grants of the Company’s common stock in the form of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options, and stock appreciation rights.  Under the 2005 Plan, the Company may also grant restricted stock, stock units, performance shares, stock awards, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not grant any employee stock options.  The Company granted 89,500 and 99,500 employee stock options during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The Company does not record a tax benefit for options at the grant date since the options it issues are generally ISOs and its employees have typically held the stock received on exercise for the requisite holding period.

The Company’s calculation of the fair value of options granted was made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008
Fair value of stock options granted	$	3.47
Expected life (years)		6.25
Expected stock volatility		47.3%
Risk-free interest rate		3.9%
Dividend yield		3.0%

NOTE 17 – BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) which is a qualified non-contributory retirement plan established to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock for the benefit of its employees who are 21 years of age or older and have completed 1,000 hours of service for the Company.  In December 2008, the Company filed a voluntary correction program with the IRS regarding various administrative issues related primarily to the use of cash dividends paid on the shares held in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, incorrect compensation used for contribution allocation purposes and incorrect share release.  Concurrently, the Company is working with the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) to rectify these same deficiencies and is under audit by the DOL Philadelphia office which is also auditing the Company’s 401K Plan.  The impact to the Company has not yet been determined.

NOTE 20 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of October 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157.  This statement provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures concerning fair value.  The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions (inputs) used in valuing the asset or liability.  Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.  The three levels are defined as follows:

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

Level 2 − Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

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

NOTE 20 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS − (Continued)

As of June 30, 2009, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Investment securities available-for-sale	$	7,266	$	−	$	8,258	$	15,524
Total assets at fair value	$	7,266	$	−	$	8,258	$	15,524
Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	−	$	552	$	−	$	552
Total liabilities at fair value	$	−	$	552	$	−	$	552

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

	Level 3
Beginning balance, October 1, 2008	$	10,153
Realized losses – impairment charges on investment securities included in operations		(7,962	)
Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, net		(536	)
Change in unrealized losses – included in accumulated other comprehensive loss		6,603
Ending balance, June 30, 2009	$	8,258

The following table presents the hierarchy level for each of the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investments in commercial finance − held for sale	$	−	$	−	$	137,928	$	137,928
Total	$	−	$	−	$	137,928	$	137,928

For cash, receivables and payables, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

It is impractical to determine the fair values of its investments in real estate loans because each loan is a unique transaction involving a discrete property.  However, the Company believes the carrying amounts of the loans are reasonable estimates of their fair value considering the nature of the loans and the estimated yield relative to the risks involved.

It is also impracticable for the Company to estimate the fair value of its commercial finance notes receivable.  They comprise a large number of transactions with commercial customers in different businesses, and may be secured by liens on various types of equipment and may be guaranteed by third parties and cross-collateralized.  Any difference between the carrying value and fair value of each transaction would be affected by a potential buyer's assessment of the transaction's credit quality, collateral value, guarantees, payment history, yield, term, documents and other legal matters, and other subjective considerations.  Value received in a fair market sale of a transaction would be based on the terms of the sale, the Company’s and the buyer's views of economic and industry conditions, the Company’s and the buyer's tax considerations, and other factors.

(3) The fair value of interest rate swap agreements are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

NOTE 21 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Real estate carveouts.  TIC investment programs and real estate partnerships obtain senior lien financing with respect to acquired properties, on a non-recourse basis, with the lenders’ remedies limited to the properties securing the senior lien financing.  Although non-recourse in nature, these loans are subject to limited standard exceptions, which the Company has guaranteed (“carveouts”).  These carveouts relate to a total of $596.5 million in financing and will expire as the related indebtedness is paid down over the next ten years.  Subsidiaries of the Company are both (i) the general partner of the real estate limited partnerships or the asset manager of the TIC investment programs and (ii) the property manager of all of these properties.  Accordingly, the Company has control over the operations of the underlying assets which mitigates the potential risk associated with these carveouts, and accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.  To date, the Company has not been required to make any carveout payments.

NOTE 21 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES – (Continued)

General corporate commitments.  As a specialized asset manager, the Company sponsors investment funds in which it 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.

The Company is also party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and other benefits, including severance payments under specified circumstances.

The Company is 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.

The Company's wholly owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Chadwick Securities, Inc. ("Chadwick"), serves as a dealer-manager for the sale of securities of direct participation investment programs, both public and private, sponsored by subsidiaries of the Company who also serve as general partners and/or managers of these programs.  Additionally, Chadwick serves as an introducing agent for transactions involving sales of securities of financial services companies, REITs and insurance companies.  As a broker-dealer, Chadwick is subject to the net capital provision of rule 15c3-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined.  As applied to Chadwick, the rule required a minimum net capital balance of $100,000 and $71,000 as of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 respectively.  As of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, Chadwick’s net capital was $799,000 and $547,000, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $699,000 and $476,000, respectively.

Two of the financial fund management investment partnerships have incentive distributions (carried interest) that are subject to a potential clawback to the extent that such distributions exceed cumulative net profits, as defined in the respective partnership agreements.  At March 31, 2009, the Company reduced its total potential clawback obligation by $1.7 million.  At June 30, 2009, based upon the evaluation of current information, the Company further reduced its total potential clawback obligation by $133,000 (to $5.7 million at June 30, 2009 from $7.5 million at September 30, 2008) in the consolidated statements of operations as an adjustment to financial fund management revenues.  The estimated liability is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

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

This report contains certain forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expects,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “will” and “would” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  Such statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties more particularly described in Item 1A, under the caption “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2008.  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 revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report, except as may be required under applicable law.

Overview of the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

We are a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through the commercial finance, real estate and financial fund management sectors.  As a specialized asset manager, we seek to develop investment funds for outside investors for which we provide asset management services, typically under long-term management arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of, our sponsored investment funds.  We typically maintain an investment in the funds we sponsor.  As of June 30, 2009, we managed $14.3 billion of assets.

We limit our fund development and management services to asset classes in which we have specific expertise.  We believe this strategy enhances the return on investment we can achieve for our funds.  In our commercial finance operations, we focus on originating small and middle-ticket equipment leases and commercial loans secured by business-essential equipment, including technology, commercial and industrial equipment and medical equipment.  In our real estate operations, we concentrate on the ownership, operation and management of multifamily and commercial real estate and the ownership of real estate loans including whole mortgage loans, first priority interests in commercial mortgage loans, known as A notes, subordinated interests in first mortgage loans, known as B notes, mezzanine loans, investments in discounted and distressed real estate loans, and investments in “value-added” properties (properties which, although not distressed, need substantial improvements to reach their full investment potential).  In our financial fund management operations, we manage trust preferred securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies, bank loans, and asset-backed securities, or ABS.

As a specialized asset manager, we are affected by conditions in the financial markets and, in particular, the continued volatility and reduced liquidity in the global credit markets which have reduced our revenues from, and the values of, many of the types of financial assets which we manage or own and reduced our ability to access debt financing for our operations.  For the balance of fiscal 2009, given the constraints imposed by current economic and market conditions, we expect to focus on (i) managing our existing assets which provides us with substantial fee income and (ii) raising funds through our retail broker channel for investment programs in our commercial finance and real estate businesses.  We also expect to continue to realize the cost savings primarily resulting from our reductions in force which we initiated in prior quarters.  In our commercial finance segment, we have scaled back our originations to accommodate the limited availability of debt financing.  In our real estate segment, we expect to continue to acquire multifamily apartments through our investment partnerships and additionally, are focusing efforts towards acquiring distressed assets where we possess significant experience in managing and resolving such assets using our existing real estate platform of highly skilled professionals.  In financial fund management, we continue to manage and receive fees from the collateralized debt obligation, or CDO, issuers that we had previously formed and sponsored, but do not expect to sponsor any new CDO issuers.

For the first three fiscal quarters of 2009, the effect of the current economic conditions resulted in us recording the following charges:

· a $7.2 million charge, net of tax, from the sale of our interest in Apidos CDO VI;

· a $3.9 million charge, net of minority interest and tax, to reflect the other-than-temporary impairment of certain investments in CDO issuers with investments in bank loans ($3.0 million, including $1.3 million in Europe) and financial institutions ($877,000);

· a $3.5 million provision for credit losses, net of tax, which impacted our business segments as follows:  commercial finance ($2.1 million), real estate ($282,000) and financial fund management ($1.1 million); and

· a $859,000 million charge, net of tax, to reflect our equity losses in the unrealized depreciation in the book value of securities held by our investment partnerships.

Principally as a result of these charges, we recorded a net loss of $15.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

39

We have reduced the amount of assets and borrowings reflected on our balance sheet.  As of June 30, 2009, total assets decreased by $390.9 million to $367.5 million and borrowings decreased by $372.4 million to $181.6 million from comparable balances at September 30, 2008.  This reduction results largely from the sale of all or part of our interests in two entities that we had previously consolidated.  In March 2009, we entered into an agreement to sell our equity interest in Apidos CDO VI and thereby removed from our balance sheet $219.7 million of loans it held for investment and $213.3 million of its senior notes, net.  We also sold a portion of our interest in a LEAF subsidiary, LEAF Commercial Finance Fund, LLC, or LCFF, and accordingly, our balance sheet no longer consolidates $195.0 million of commercial finance assets together with $187.6 million of debt financing ($143.8 million outstanding at September 30, 2008).  In both cases, the debt removed had been non-recourse to us.  Additionally, we reduced outstanding borrowings on our TD Bank revolving credit facility by $9.7 million and our Sovereign revolving line of credit by $6.4 million.

Assets Under Management

Our assets under management decreased by $4.4 billion to $14.3 billion at June 30, 2009 from $18.8 billion at June 30, 2008.  The following table sets forth information relating to our assets under management by operating segment (in millions): (1)

	As of June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2009		2008		Amount			Percentage
Financial fund management	$	11,202	$	15,375	$	(4,173	) (2)		(27%)
Real estate		1,675		1,750		(75	)		(4%)
Commercial finance		1,450		1,630		(180	) (3)		(11%)
	$	14,327	$	18,755	$	(4,428	)		(24%)

(1) For information on how we calculate assets under management, see the table and related notes at the end of this section.

(2) Reduction primarily due to the following:  (a) sale of Apidos CDO VI ($226.5 million), (b) liquidation of two of our CDO issuers invested primarily in real estate ABS ($1.6 billion) and (c) a decrease in the collateral base of our ABS portfolio resulting from defaults ($1.7 billion).

(3) Reduction primarily reflects the reduction in new originations.

Our assets under management are primarily managed through various investment vehicles including CDOs, public and private limited partnerships, tenant-in-common, or TIC, property interest programs, a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and other investment funds.  All of our operating segments manage assets on behalf of Resource Capital Corp., or RCC, a REIT we sponsored and manage.  The following table sets forth the number of entities we manage by operating segment:

Results of Operations: Commercial Finance

As of June 30, 2009, our commercial finance assets under management decreased $180.0 million (11%) to $1.5 billion as compared to $1.6 billion at June 30, 2008.  Originations of new equipment financing for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 were $90.9 million and $328.7 million, respectively, as compared to $147.9 million and $1.0 billion for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $57.0 million (39%) and $718.2 million (69%), respectively.  Originations for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 included $581.5 million related to our November 2007 acquisitions of the Dolphin Capital Corp. and NetBank portfolios of leases and loans.  Excluding these acquisitions, originations for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $136.7 million as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008.  Our originations have been and we expect they will continue to be impacted by the state of the credit markets and the ability of our funds to obtain financing to acquire portfolios of leases and loans from us.

During fiscal 2009, we have focused our efforts on improving our financial condition by monetizing investments and reducing borrowings.  In March 2009, two of our investment partnerships, LEAF Equipment Leasing Income Fund III, L.P., or LEAF III, and LEAF Equipment Finance Fund 4, L.P., or LEAF 4, two public equipment leasing partnerships we sponsored and manage, formed a joint venture, LEAF Funds Joint Venture 2, LLC, or JV2.  LEAF III and LEAF 4 invested $10.0 million into JV2, which in turn acquired a portion of our interest in LEAF Commercial Finance Fund, LLC, or LCFF, an investment fund that we formed to acquire and finance leases and loans we originate, and repaid us for amounts due to us from LCFF.  We continue to maintain voting control of LCFF.  As a result of the transaction, LCFF became a VIE for which JV2 was determined to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, we no longer consolidated LCFF as of March 1, 2009.  Accordingly, a total of $195.0 million of commercial finance assets and $187.6 million of debt financing were transferred to JV2.  As a result of this deleveraging and the reduction in our warehouse borrowings, the commercial finance assets we managed for our own account at June 30, 2009 decreased $161.0 million (53%) to $145.0 million as compared to $306.0 million at June 30, 2008.  The assets we managed for others remained approximately at the same level at $1.3 billion at June 30, 2009 and 2008.

42

In August 2008, we commenced a $200.0 million public offering of limited partnership interests in LEAF 4, which broke escrow and commenced operations in September 2008.  Through August 4, 2009, we have raised $87.9 million in LEAF 4.  In addition, through February 2009, we sold subordinated notes in LCFF.  This offering closed in February 2009 having raised $9.4 million.

As of June 30, 2009, we managed approximately 103,000 leases and loans that had an average original finance value of $27,000 with an average term of 52 months as compared to approximately 96,000 leases and loans that had an average original finance value of $24,000 with an average term of 50 months as of June 30, 2008.

The revenues from our commercial finance operations consist primarily of (a) finance revenues from leases and loans held by us prior to being sold, (b) acquisition fees which we earn when we sell commercial finance assets to one of our investment partnerships, and (c) asset management fees earned over the life of the lease or loan after we sell it.  The following table sets forth certain information relating to the revenues recognized and costs and expenses incurred in our commercial finance operations (in thousands):

Revenues - - Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008

Revenues decreased $11.3 million (52%) and $43.1 million (52%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to three and nine months ended June 30, 2008.  We attribute these decreases primarily to the following:

· a $6.3 million and $26.9 million decrease in commercial finance revenues, respectively.  In fiscal 2008, we held a significantly higher than normal portfolio of leases and loans as a result of the $412.5 million NetBank portfolio acquired in November 2007 and held by us until being completely sold to LEAF III in April 2008.  In addition, as of March 2009 we no longer consolidated LCFF, a $195.0 million portfolio.  As a result of these transactions, our finance revenues decreased significantly; however, since these assets are now owned by our investment funds, we are earning ongoing asset management fees.  We have a $150.0 million warehouse line of credit that allows us to originate and hold equipment financings prior to selling them to our investment entities.  This line of credit, which was to expire on July 31, 2009, has been extended until September 30, 2009 while we negotiate a longer-term renewal.  We expect that the terms of our renewed line of credit may reduce the amount available on the line, which would require us to reduce the size of the portfolio we can hold, and accordingly, would lower our commercial finance revenues;

· a $4.5 million and $12.7 million decrease, respectively, in acquisition fees resulting from the decrease in leases sold to our funds and RCC by $369.9 million and $956.2 million to $40.1 million and $220.8 million, respectively.  These decreases reflect the assets sold to our investment entities in fiscal 2008 related to the NetBank and Dolphin Capital Corp. portfolio acquisitions.  Additionally, the difficulty in obtaining debt financing by our investment funds has decreased their ability to acquire equipment financings from us.  Consequently, we have reduced our commercial finance originations to match the asset acquisition capabilities of our funds;

· a $69,000 and $850,000 increase in fund management fees, respectively.  Our management fees include fees we receive to service the commercial finance assets we manage, offering fees earned for raising capital in our investment entities as well as fees received on originating loans for those entities.  For the three months ended June 30, 2009, servicing fees for leases decreased by $350,000 due to the decrease in assets managed for our investment entities, in part due to the May 2009 discontinuance of fees from LEAF I (which enters its liquidation stage beginning in August 2009). These decreases were offset, in part, by a $271,000 increase in net loan origination fees and a $148,000 increase in offering fees related to the timing of the closing of LEAF III (April 2008) and the commencement of LEAF 4 (August 2008).  For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, management fees earned to service leases increased by $1.2 million due to the sale of the NetBank portfolio to LEAF III, from which we are earning ongoing management fees.  In addition, net capitalized loan origination costs increased by $142,000.  These increases were offset, in part, by decreased offering fees of $472,000 related to the time between the closing of LEAF III and the commencement of the LEAF 4 offering; and

· a $570,000 and $4.3 million decrease in other income, respectively, primarily reflecting reduced gains on equipment finance dispositions, which typically vary widely from period to period, but decreased as a result of our sales in fiscal 2008 of the NetBank portfolio to LEAF III.

Costs and Expenses − Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008

Costs and expenses from our commercial finance operations decreased by $5.0 million (46%) and $12.1 million (38%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  We attribute this decrease primarily to:

· a reduction in wage and benefit costs of $2.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively.  These decreases reflect our elimination of redundant positions as a result of our converting the operations we acquired in fiscal 2008 onto the LEAF platform.  We reduced the number of full-time employees in our commercial finance operations by 78 to 366 at June 30, 2009 from 444 at June 30, 2008.  The decrease in wage and benefit costs is also due to an increase in reimbursements from our funds for direct labor costs incurred to service their portfolios.  Because a larger percentage of our  assets are being held directly by our investment funds, we are able to allocate a greater percentage of our wages and benefit costs to the funds; and

· a reduction in other costs and expenses of $2.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively.  These decreases are due to the decline in assets managed for our own account, which resulted in reduced costs to service our portfolio, primarily legal costs, and to our ongoing cost saving and consolidation efforts targeted at eliminating redundancies of overhead occurring through our acquisitions and taking advantage of efficiencies obtained by operating on a single platform.  In addition, fiscal 2008 included one-time costs related to the portfolio acquisitions we made which did not reoccur in fiscal 2009.

Results of Operations: Real Estate

In our real estate reporting segment, we manage five classes of assets:

· a commercial real estate debt portfolio we manage for RCC, comprised principally of A notes, whole loans, mortgage participations, B notes, mezzanine debt and related commercial real estate securities;

· real estate investment fund assets, primarily multifamily apartments;

· portfolios of distressed, or value-added, real estate assets we acquired through joint ventures with institutional investors;

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

· a portfolio of distressed real estate loans we acquired at a discount, primarily from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as well as an opportunity fund we commenced in fiscal 2009 to acquire distressed real estate and real estate loans.

(1) For information on how we calculate assets under management, see the table and related notes at the end of “Assets Under Management,” above.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, our real estate operations continued to be affected by the following principal trends or events:

· the transition of property management from outsourced third party managers to our internal multifamily manager, Resource Residential, which commenced operations in October 2007 and which has provided us with a new source of revenues;

· the continuing volatility and reduction in liquidity in global credit markets which has reduced our fee income from RCC;

· an increase in the number of distressed real estate opportunities that are available for purchase; and

· continued opportunities through the sponsorship of real estate investment partnerships, including a new partnership which will invest in discounted commercial real estate assets.

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

The gains we recognize on the resolution of loans, assets we consolidate as a result of the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 46 as amended, or FIN 46-R, and other real estate assets, and the amount of fees we may receive, will vary from transaction to transaction.  There have been in the past, and we expect that in the future there will be, significant period-to-period variations in our gains on resolution and fee income.  Moreover, we anticipate that gains on resolution will likely decrease in the future as we complete the resolution of our legacy portfolio.

Revenues – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008

Revenues for our real estate operations decreased $428,000 (8%) and $1.5 million (8%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009.  We attribute these decreases primarily to the following:

Management fees

· a $275,000 and $735,0000 increase, respectively,  in asset management fees due to an increase in the number of funds, programs and joint ventures that we manage by 2 to 20 at June 30, 2009 from 18 at June 30, 2008;

· a $309,000 and $1.6 million increase, respectively, in fees earned by Resource Residential principally as a result of the increase in the number of properties under management by 8 to 50 at June 30, 2009 from 42 at June 30, 2008; and

· a $199,000 and $608,000 decrease, respectively, in REIT management fees due principally to lower RCC net income.

Other revenues

· a $452,000 and $1.4 million decrease, respectively, in fee income related to the purchase and third-party financing of property through the sponsorship of real estate investment partnerships.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we earned a fee from the acquisition of a distressed note with a purchase price of $6.5 million by one of our investment partnerships as compared to two value added properties with an aggregate purchase price of $29.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we earned fees from the acquisition of three distressed notes for $25.2 million and six property acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $53.1 million, as compared to seven properties with an aggregate purchase price of $89.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2008;

· a $43,000 and $330,000 increase, respectively, in master lease revenues from one TIC property;

· a $433,000 and $235,000 decrease, respectively, in rental property income and FIN 46-R revenues due to seasonal fluctuations at the Savannah, Georgia hotel we own and the sale of the entire interest in another asset to one of our real estate investment funds;

46

· a $406,000 and $794,000 decrease, respectively, in interest income attributable to the principal paydown of two loans and the foreclosure of another loan;

· a $298,000 increase and a $657,000 decrease, respectively, in gains and fees on the resolution of loans and other property interests.  The three months ended June 30, 2009 reflects the $298,000 gain from the reversal of expenses accrued at July 2008 related to a loan resolution. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we also received proceeds of $8.7 million from the payoff of one loan, resulting in a gain of $991,000 and also received discounted proceeds of $1.2 million from the payoff of another loan resulting in a loss of $313,000.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we received $1.0 million in net proceeds plus a $130,000 structuring fee from the sale of 19.99% interest in the Savannah hotel resulting in a gain of $612,000.  We also received $1.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of a 10% interest in a real estate venture resulting in a gain of $891,000;

· a $137,000 and $61,000 decrease, respectively, in equity losses of unconsolidated entities; and

· a $373,000 decrease in net gain on sales of TIC property interests due to the sale of a $50.0 million TIC property during the nine months ended June 30, 2008; there were no TIC sales in fiscal 2009.

Costs and Expenses – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008

Costs and expenses of our real estate operations increased by $149,000 (3%) and $645,000 (4%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009.  We attribute these increases primarily to the following:

· a $443,000 and $1.1 million decrease, respectively, in general and administrative expenses due to a decrease in compensation expense;

· a $540,000 and $1.0 million increase, respectively, in Resource Residential expenses due to an increase in wages and benefits related to the increase in the number of employees relative to the increase in managed properties;

· a $158,000 and $584,000 increase, respectively, in master lease expenses from one TIC asset due to turnover costs related to decreased occupancy; and

· a $106,000 decrease and a $130,000 increase, respectively, in rental and FIN 46-R property expenses.  The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2009 is due primarily to the sale of the entire interest in one asset to one of the real estate investment funds.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, this reduction in expense was more than offset by back taxes due on a property we acquired through foreclosure in Philadelphia.

Results of Operations: Financial Fund Management

General.  We conduct our financial fund management operations through seven separate operating entities:

(1) For information on how we calculate assets under management, see the table and related notes at the end of “Assets Under Management,” above.

In our financial fund management reporting segment, we earn monthly fees on assets managed on behalf of institutional and individual investors as follows:

· Collateral management fees − we receive fees for managing the assets held by CDO issuers we have sponsored.  These fees vary by CDO issuer, with our annual fees ranging between 0.10% and 0.60% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral securities owned by the CDO issuers.  CDO indentures require certain overcollateralization test ratios, or O/C ratio(s), to be maintained.  O/C ratios measure the ratio of assets (collateral) to liabilities (notes) of a given CDO issuer.  Losses incurred on collateral due to payment defaults, payment deferrals or rating agency downgrades reduce the O/C ratios.  If O/C ratios are not met, incentive or subordinate management fees are deferred and interest collections from collateral are applied to outstanding principal note balances.

· Administration fees − we receive fees for managing the assets held by partnerships sponsored by us and for managing their general operations.  These fees vary by limited partnership, with our annual fee ranging between 0.75% and 2.00% of the partnership capital balance.

We also receive distributions on our investments in the entities we manage, which vary depending on our investment and, with respect to particular limited partnerships, with the terms of our general partner interest two of the partnerships we manage as general partner include a clawback provision.  We discuss the basis for our fees and revenues for each area in more detail in the following sections.

Our financial fund management operations have depended upon our ability to sponsor CDO issuers and sell their CDOs.  Although we continue to manage and receive fees from CDO issuers that we formed and sponsored, we do not expect to sponsor any new CDO issuers as a result of current conditions in the global credit markets.  Accordingly, we expect that these management fee revenues will continue to decline.  For risks applicable to our financial fund management operations, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008; Item 1A “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Particular Aspects of our Financial Fund Management, Real Estate and Commercial Finance Operations.”

Trapeza

We have co-sponsored, structured and currently co-manage 13 CDO issuers holding approximately $4.6 billion in trust preferred securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies.

We own a 50% interest in an entity that manages 11 Trapeza CDO issuers 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.  Additionally, we have invested as a limited partner in each of these limited partnerships.

48

We derive revenues from our Trapeza operations through base and subordinate management and administration fees.  We also receive distributions on amounts we have invested in limited partnerships.  Base management fees vary by CDO issuer, but range from between 0.10% and 0.25% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuers.  Subordinate management fees vary by CDO issuer, but range from between 0.15% and 0.25% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuers, all of which are subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs.  These fees are also shared with our co-sponsors.  In 11 CDO issuers, we currently do not meet the O/C ratio requirements; therefore, we do not receive subordinated management fees.  Based upon projected cash flows, we expect to be able to receive subordinated management fees from one of these issuers for at least the remainder of fiscal 2009.  We are also entitled to receive incentive management fees; however, we did not receive any such fees in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 nor do we expect to receive any such fees in the future.  Incentive management fees are subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs.  We have elected to defer the collection of our administration fees on all Trapeza partnerships for the first three fiscal quarters of 2009 and expect we will do so for the remaining fiscal quarter of 2009.

Apidos

We sponsored, structured and/or currently manage 11 CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors and RCC which hold approximately $3.5 billion in bank loans at June 30, 2009, of which $931.0 million are managed on behalf of RCC through three CDOs issuers.  We sponsored, structured and currently manage one CDO issuer holding $422.2 million in European bank loans at June 30, 2009.

We derive revenues from our Apidos operations through base and subordinate management fees.  Base management fees vary by CDO issuer, but range from between 0.10% and 0.15% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuers.  Subordinate management fees vary by CDO issuer, but range from between 0.08% and 0.45% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuers, all of which are subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs.  We are also entitled to receive incentive management fees; however, we did not receive any such fees in fiscal 2008 nor in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and do not expect to receive any such fees during the remainder of fiscal 2009.  Incentive management fees are subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs.

Ischus

We sponsored, structured and currently manage seven CDO issuers for institutional investors, individuals and RCC which hold approximately $2.6 billion in primarily real estate ABS including RMBS, CMBS and credit default swaps, of which $262.4 million is managed on behalf of RCC.  Two of our managed CDO issuers, holding approximately $1.4 billion in real estate ABS, were liquidated during the third fiscal quarter of 2009.  We expect that the reduction of the aggregate principal balance of managed assets as a result of the liquidation of these two CDO issuers will lower our financial fund management revenues in the future.

Through Ischus, 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 the SFF partnerships.  These partnerships own a portion of the equity interests of three Trapeza CDO issuers and one of the Ischus CDOs.  We also have invested as a limited partner in each of these limited partnerships.

We derive revenues from our Ischus operations through base and subordinated management and administration fees.  We also receive distributions on amounts we invest in the limited partnerships.  Base management fees vary by CDO issuer, ranging from between 0.10% and 0.20% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuer.  In three CDO issuers, we currently do not meet the O/C ratio requirements; therefore, we do not receive subordinated management fees.  We no longer expect to receive subordinated management fees from these CDO issuers in the future.  We are also entitled to receive incentive management fees; however, we no longer expect to receive incentive management fees in the future because these fees are subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs.  We have elected to defer the collection of our administration fees on all SFF partnerships for the first three fiscal quarters of 2009 and expect we will do so for the remaining fiscal quarter of 2009.

Company-Sponsored Partnerships

We sponsored, structured and, through RFIG, currently manage five affiliated partnerships for individual and institutional investors which hold approximately $61.4 million of investment in financial institutions.  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.

49

In March 2009, we sponsored, structured and currently manage a new affiliated partnership organized as a credit opportunities fund which holds approximately $5.6 million in bank loans, high yield bonds and uninvested capital.  We have invested as a general and limited partner in this partnership.  We derive revenues from this partnership through base and incentive management fees.  Base management fees are calculated at 1.5% of the partnership’s net assets and are payable quarterly in advance.  Incentive management fees are calculated annually at 20% of the partnership’s annual net profits, but are subject to a loss carryforward provision and an investor hurdle rate.

We previously sponsored, structured and managed another affiliated partnership organized as a hedge fund.  In March 2008, we decided to liquidate this partnership and completed the dissolution and liquidation during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

Revenues - Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

Revenues increased $4.9 million (241%) to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  We attribute the increase to the following:

· Limited and general partner interests:

- during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded $67,000 and ($8.9 million), respectively, in realized and unrealized fair value adjustments on Trapeza partnership securities and swap agreements and $196,000 and ($805,000), respectively, in realized and unrealized fair value adjustments in the book value of securities we hold in unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships;

- during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded $0 and $475,000, respectively, in revenues (other than fair value adjustments) from our limited and general partner share of operating results of the unconsolidated Trapeza partnerships and ($12,000) and ($134,000), respectively, from our limited and general partner share of operating results of unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships.

50

· a $416,000 decrease in fund and RCC management fees, primarily from the following:

- a $828,000 net decrease in collateral management fees from our Ischus operations primarily due to a reduction in subordinated management fees as a result of rating agency downgrades which reduced the collateral base upon which the fees are calculated, and the liquidation of two of our CDO issuers during the three months ended June 30, 2009;

- a $156,000 decrease in management fees from other company-sponsored partnerships primarily due to the liquidation of our previously sponsored hedge fund and a decline in fair values of other company-sponsored partnership investments.  These management fees are net asset based; and

- a $156,000 decrease in collateral management fees from the European CDO issuer we manage due to a decrease in the euro to dollar exchange rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.

These decreases were partially offset by:

- a $286,000 increase in collateral management fees resulting from a full quarter of fees on four bank loan CDO issuers whose management was assumed from an unaffiliated third-party asset manager in May 2008;

- a $254,000 decrease in our share of expenses for the management of Trapeza Capital Management, LLC and Trapeza Management Group, LLC, primarily due to a decrease in asset management personnel and state taxes; and

- a $212,000 net increase in senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from our Trapeza operations, primarily from the following:

- a $690,000 increase in incentive management fees on six CDO issuers.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded incentive management fees of $0 and $(690,000), respectively.  The loss recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2008 was the result of a discount adjustment applied to the cumulative accrued incentive management fee balance.

This increase was partially offset in part by:

- a $397,000 decrease in subordinated management fees.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, we recorded subordinated management fees of $55,000 and $452,000, respectively, on two and 10 CDO issuers, respectively; and

- a $81,000 decrease in senior management fees as a result of portfolio defaults which reduced our collateral base.

· a $3.3 million decrease in interest income on loans held for investment by Apidos CDO VI, which we consolidated under FIN 46-R.  As of March 31, 2009, we agreed to sell our interest in Apidos CDO VI.  This transaction settled on May 6, 2009;

· a $287,000 decrease in earnings from nine unconsolidated CDO issuers we previously sponsored and manage, which we have fully impaired.  We will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income on these investments;

· a $235,000 decrease in introductory agent and placement fees as a result of the following:

- during the three months ended June 30, 2009, we received $1.5 million in introductory agent fees earned in connection with 26 trust preferred transactions.  We expect to earn introductory agent fees in the future, which will vary depending upon the terms of the transactions.

- during the three months ended June 30, 2008, we received $1.8 million in placement fees in connection with four banks and REIT trust preferred transactions.  We do not expect to earn similar fees in the future due to market conditions; and

· a $424,000 decrease in our earnings of SFF partnerships related to a decrease in earnings from four CDO investments which we had previously fully impaired.  We will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income on these investments.

Revenues - Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008

Revenues increased $2.8 million (12%) to $25.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009.  We attribute the increase to the following:

· Limited and general partner interests:

- during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded $1.6 million (of which $1.8 million primarily was the result of the reduction in our total potential clawback obligation) and ($16.9 million), respectively, in realized and unrealized fair value adjustments on Trapeza partnership securities and swap agreements and ($1.4 million) and ($552,000), respectively, in realized and unrealized fair value adjustments in the book value of securities we hold in unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships.  As of December 31, 2008, we had eliminated our future exposure to the Trapeza partnerships; and

51

- during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded ($4,000) and $2.7 million, respectively, in revenues (other than fair value adjustments) from our limited and general partner share of operating results of the unconsolidated Trapeza partnerships and ($60,000) and ($271,000), respectively, from our limited and general partner share of operating results of unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships.

· a $3.1 million decrease in fund and RCC management fees, primarily from the following:

- a $2.3 million net decrease in senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from our Trapeza operations, primarily from the following:

- a $2.4 million decrease in subordinated management fees.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, we recorded subordinated management fees of $(293,000) and $2.1 million, respectively, on two and 11 CDO issuers, respectively.  The loss recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of the write-off of cumulative accrued subordinated management fees on nine CDO issuers; and

- a $197,000 decrease in senior management fees as a result of portfolio defaults which reduced our collateral base.

These decreases were partially offset by:

- a $320,000 increase in incentive management fees on six CDO issuers.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded incentive management fees of $(57,000) and $(377,000), respectively.  The loss recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was the result of a discount adjustment applied to the cumulative accrued incentive management fee balance and the remaining accrued balance was written off during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

- a $2.6 million net decrease in collateral management fees from our Ischus operations primarily due to a reduction in subordinated management fees as a result of rating agency downgrades which reduced our collateral base and the liquidation of two of our CDO issuers during the nine months ended June 30, 2009;

- a $416,000 decrease in management fees from other company-sponsored partnerships primarily due to the liquidation of our previously sponsored hedge fund and a decline in fair values of other company-sponsored partnership investments.  These management fees are net asset based; and

- a $318,000 decrease in collateral management fees from the European CDO issuer we manage due to a decrease in the euro to dollar exchange rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

These decreases were partially offset by:

- a $1.4 million increase in collateral management fees resulting from a full nine months of fees on four bank loan CDO issuers whose management was assumed from an unaffiliated third-party asset manager in May 2008;

- a $362,000 increase in RCC management fees and equity compensation, reflecting a $138,000 decrease in management fees offset by a $500,000 increase in equity compensation; and

- a $745,000 decrease in our share of expenses for the management of Trapeza Capital Management LLC and Trapeza Management Group LLC, primarily due to a decrease in asset management personnel and state taxes.

· a $7.7 million decrease in interest income on loans held for investment, resulting primarily from the following:

- a $3.2 million decrease from CDO issuers we consolidated through warehouse facilities for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 including one Apidos and one Resource Europe CDO issuer.  The weighted average loan balance of these CDO issuers was $65.9 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.31%.  We did not consolidate any CDO issuers through warehouse facilities for the nine months ended June 30, 2009; and

- a $4.5 million decrease from Apidos CDO VI.  In December 2007, we closed Apidos CDO VI, repaid all borrowings under the warehouse facility and purchased 100% of the subordinated notes.  The weighted average loan balances of Apidos CDO VI for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $154.4 million and $207.0 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 4.38% and 6.67%, respectively.  In addition, we recorded $803,000 of accreted loan discount for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, we agreed to sell our interest in Apidos CDO VI and no longer consolidated it.  This transaction settled on May 6, 2009.

· a $990,000 decrease in earnings from 12 unconsolidated CDO issuers we previously sponsored and manage.  Through June 30, 2009, we have fully impaired nine CDO investments; the cost-recovery method will be used to realize any future income on these investments;

52

· a $1.0 million increase in introductory agent and placement fees as a result of the following:

- during the three months ended June 30, 2009, we received $2.8 million in introductory agent fees earned in connection with 50 trust preferred transactions.  We expect to earn introductory agent fees in the future, which will vary depending upon the terms of the transactions; and

- during the three months ended June 30, 2008, we received $1.8 million in placement fees in connection with four bank and REIT trust preferred transactions.  We do not expect to earn similar fees in the future due to market conditions.

· a $1.2 million decrease in the earnings of our SFF partnerships related to a decrease in earnings from four CDO investments which we had previously fully impaired.  We will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income on these investments; and

· a $430,000 decrease in other income, primarily as a result of a decrease in interest income we earned on the restricted cash balances of Apidos CDO VI.

Costs and Expenses – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008

Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations decreased $2.4 million (34%) and $4.5 million (22%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, principally due to the decrease in our general and administrative expenses reflecting our efforts to realign costs with existing operations.  We attribute this decrease for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 primarily to the following:

· a $1.7 million and $2.6 million decrease, respectively, in wages and benefits due to the reduction in asset management and support personnel;

· a $296,000 and a $1.2 million decrease, respectively, in professional fees, primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees related to our European operations;

· a $235,000 and $308,000 decrease, respectively, in financial software expenses; and

· a $106,000 and $289,000 decrease, respectively, in broker fees paid to an affiliated party in connection with our Trapeza operations.

Results of Operations: Other Costs and Expenses

General and Administrative Costs

General and administrative costs were $3.4 million and $11.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, a decrease of $583,000 and $120,000 as compared to $4.0 million and $11.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  Wages and benefits decreased by $432,000 and $217,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  Included in wages and benefits were termination benefits, principally related to restricted stock awards, of $0 and $605,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  Excluding such costs, wages and benefits would have decreased by $822,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009.  We expect that general and administrative expenses, principally compensation expense, will decrease through the remainder of fiscal 2009.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses was $1.0 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $1.6 million and $5.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, a decrease of $502,000 and $125,000, respectively, as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Commercial finance	$	621	$	711	$	3,451	$	4,473
Financial fund management		−		839		1,738		1,297
Real estate		427		−		456		−
	$	1,048	$	1,550	$	5,645	$	5,770

The continuing and worsening downturn in the economic conditions in the United States generally increases the likelihood that credit problems could occur with our commercial finance assets.  Our provision for credit losses for our commercial finance segment decreased by $90,000 and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in the amount of commercial finance assets held for investment, reflecting the sale of LCFF on March 1, 2009.

53

There was no provision for our financial fund management business for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to the sale in March 2009 of our interest in Apidos CDO VI.  There was a $441,000 increase in the provision for the financial fund management business for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 due to the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the Apidos CDO VI portfolio prior to its sale in March 2009.

We recorded a provision of $427,000 and $456,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, in our real estate business for one of our legacy loans due to a decline in the estimated cash flows from that property.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.9 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, an increase of $598,000 (46%) and $1.7 million (53%) as compared to $1.3 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The increase in depreciation expense relates primarily to acquisitions made by our commercial finance segment in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 for which a full three and nine months of depreciation was recorded for the respective fiscal 2009 periods.  For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, depreciation expense on operating leases increased by $323,000 and $771,000, respectively, capital assets increased by $220,000 and $755,000, respectively, and amortization of intangible assets increased by $55,000 and $204,000, respectively,

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $2.6 million and $17.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, a decrease of $7.1 million (73%) and $22.1 million (57%) as compared to $9.8 million and $39.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The following table reflects interest expense (exclusive of intercompany interest charges) as reported by segment (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Commercial finance	$	1,507	$	5,229	$	8,576	$	23,320

	$	2,634	$	9,776	$	16,957	$	39,048

Facility utilization (dollars in millions) and interest rates on borrowings were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Commercial finance
Average borrowings	$	117.7	$	342.6	$	222.7	$	472.6

Average borrowings	$	39.5	$	63.1	$	46.0	$	57.6
Average interest rates		8.7%		5.5%		7.4%		6.7%

Interest expense incurred by our commercial finance operations decreased by $3.7 million and $14.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, due to a decrease in average borrowings of $224.9 million and $249.9 million, respectively, in combination with declining interest rates.  In March 2009, we sold a portion of our interest in LCFF, thereby eliminating $187.6 million of debt.  In November 2007, LEAF acquired $412.5 million portfolio of leases and loans from NetBank.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the leases were sold and the related borrowings were transferred to one of LEAF’s investment funds.

54

Interest expense incurred by our financial fund management operations decreased $3.3 million and $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  In March 2009, we agreed to sell all of our interest in Apidos CDO VI.  As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated Apidos CDO VI as of March 31, 2009 and therefore there was no interest expense for the quarter on the $218.0 million of senior notes as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  In addition, in January 2008, we had terminated outstanding warehouse facilities which were previously consolidated under FIN 46-R which reduced our interest expense by $4.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

Minority Interest Income (Expense)

Third party interests in our (losses) earnings are recorded as minority interest income (expense).  The following table sets forth certain information relating to the change in minority interest (in thousands):

(1) We own a 15% and 36% limited partner interest in the respective SFF partnerships, which invest in the equity of certain of the CDO issuers we have formed.

(2) In March 2008, we sold a 19.99% interest in a subsidiary that holds a hotel property in Savannah, Georgia to a related party.

(3) Senior executives of LEAF hold a 14.1% interest in LEAF, reflecting the LEAF stock issued upon the conversion of a note in fiscal 2006 and the issuance of LEAF restricted stock, net of shares repurchased in December 2008.

(4) In January 2008, LEAF sold a 49% participation interest in its subsidiary that held the portfolio of leases acquired from NetBank to LEAF III.  In April 2008, LEAF sold the remaining 51% interest in the subsidiary to LEAF III.

(5) Certain warehouse providers were entitled to receive 10% to 15% of the interest spread earned on their respective warehouse facilities which held Apidos and Resource Europe bank loan assets during their accumulation stage.  As of January 2008, all warehouse facilities had been terminated.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Loans and Investment Securities, Net

In December 2007, we acquired for $21.3 million all of the equity interest of Apidos CDO VI which had issued $218.0 million of senior notes.  In March 2009, in order to reduce our outstanding debt and monetize our investment, we agreed to all the terms and conditions to sell our interest in Apidos CDO VI and assign our investment management responsibilities to the buyer.  This transaction settled on May 6, 2009.  As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated Apidos CDO VI from our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009, recorded a receivable for the proceeds of $7.2 million and recognized a loss of $11.6 million ($7.2 million, net of tax, for the nine months ended June 30, 2009).  We have no further loss exposure with respect to Apidos CDO VI.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred an $17.7 million loss from the sale of loans due to termination in January 2008 of two secured warehouse credit facilities, consolidated under FIN 46-R, for which we had provided limited guarantees.

Impairment Charges on Investment Securities

In connection with the volatility in the global credit markets and reduction in liquidity affecting banks, thrifts, other financial institutions as well as direct and indirect real estate investments, we incurred other-than temporary impairment charges on CDO securities of $8.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, an decrease of $161,000 from the $8.1 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  Impairments in the nine months ended June 30, 2009 were in CDO securities, primarily those with investments in bank loans ($4.9 million, including $2.0 million in Europe) and financial institutions ($3.1 million).  During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded charges of $7.0 and $8.1 million, respectively, for the other-than-temporary impairment of certain of our investments in CDO issuers, primarily those with investments in financial institutions ($2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively) and real estate asset-backed securities, including residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities ($4.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively).

Other Income, Net

Other income, net, decreased by $117,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $981,000 as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to a $198,000 decline in dividend income from our investment in RCC as well as a $99,000 decline in interest earned on cash and other investments.  Included in other income, net for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 is an $180,000 commitment fee earned on a one day loan to our affiliate, RCC.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, other income, net, increased by $33,000 to $3.2 million, primarily due to our recognition of four dividend payments on our investment in RCC for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to three payments for the same period in the prior year, offset in part, by a decline in the interest we earned on cash and other investments.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operation, before taxes) was 93% and 38% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to 42% and 39% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The increase in the rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 reflects to the impact of state tax benefits recorded this fiscal quarter relative to our pre-tax losses.  The decrease in the rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 primarily reflects to the reduced impact of permanent items relative to our pre-tax losses.

We currently project our effective tax rate to be between 35% and 39% for the remainder of fiscal 2009.  This rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings and the level of our tax credits.  We take into account these and other factors, including our history of pre-tax earnings, in assessing our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets.

We are subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and other taxing authorities in states in which we have significant business operations, such as Pennsylvania and New York.  We are not currently undergoing any examinations by taxing authorities.  We are no longer subject to IRS examinations for fiscal years before 2005 and are no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General.  Since fiscal 2006, our major sources of liquidity have been cash generated by operations, capital provided by the resolution of our real estate legacy portfolio, borrowings under our existing credit facilities, capital raised through our specialized asset management funds and sales of shares we held in TBBK.  We have employed these funds principally to expand our specialized asset management operations, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends to our shareholders.

We have reduced our outstanding borrowings by $372.5 million from $554.1 million at September 30, 2008 to $181.6 million at June 30, 2009.  We were able to deleverage our balance sheet principally through the sales of all of our interest in Apidos CDO VI and a portion of our interest in LCFF.  Additionally, we have received total proceeds of $10.0 million from the resolution of certain of our legacy portfolio assets.  For the remainder of fiscal 2009, we expect to fund our asset management businesses through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and capital raised through our investment funds.

The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash (in thousands):

As an asset management company, our liquidity needs consist principally of capital needed to make investments and to pay our operating expenses, principally wages and benefits.  Our ability to meet our liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations, and, with respect to our investments, our ability to raise investor funds and to obtain debt financing.  However, our ability to obtain such financing will depend on market conditions which continue to be subject to substantial volatility and significantly reduced credit availability.  If we are unable to obtain investor funds for our investment partnerships, and financing for those partnerships, our ability to expand our management operations, and thus our revenues may be constrained.  Moreover, with respect to our own assets, if we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on substantially similar terms, we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments.  If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such investments, which could result in us incurring losses.

At June 30, 2009, our liquidity consisted of two primary sources:

· cash on hand of $17.5 million and restricted cash of $3.5 million.  The restricted cash includes $2.3 million held in LEAF collection accounts; and

· available financing, including the following:  $150.0 million under a commercial finance credit facility, net of $130.6 million utilized, for a net availability of $19.4 million, which is limited to funding our commercial finance operations; and $48.2 million under two corporate facilities, net of $34.7 million utilized, for a net availability of $13.5 million, subject to collateral limitations.  As of June 30, 2009, as a result of collateral limitations, availability under our corporate facilities was limited to $542,000.

On May 15, 2009, we amended one of our corporate facilities to (a) extend the maturity until October 15, 2010, (b) reduce the maximum revolving credit facility to $35.0 million from $45.0 million, (c) provide for a monthly principal reduction of $850,000 commencing June 15, 2009 through the maturity date, (d) increase the interest rate on borrowings to the greater of 10.0% or prime plus 5.0% and (e) eliminate the net worth covenant.  In consideration for the modifications to the credit facility, we agreed to pay the lender an extension fee of $1.5 million payable in two installments as follows:  $1.0 million was paid on May 15, 2009 and $500,000 is payable on December 31, 2009 unless the facility has been paid in full and terminated or there has been a default prior to December 31, 2009.  As of June 30, 2009, the borrowings outstanding were $33.9 million and the line was fully utilized.

As of June 30, 2009, maturities of our secured credit facilities for the three months ending September 30, 2009 totaling $133.8 million are scheduled as follows:

· $130.6 million relates to our secured revolving warehouse credit facility utilized by LEAF, which matured in July 2009.  We have received a two-month extension from the lender of that facility while we negotiate a longer term renewal.  We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to renew it on acceptable terms or at all; and

· $3.2 million in pay downs of our corporate credit facilities, of which $577,000 is for one facility which matured in July 2009.  The lender for that facility has granted a one-month extension while we negotiate a longer term arrangement.  We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to renew it on acceptable terms or at all.

We were in compliance with the debt covenants on our debt facilities at June 30, 2009 and expect to remain in compliance with these covenants in the future.

Capital Requirements

Our capital needs consist principally of funds to make investments in the investment vehicles we sponsor or for our own account and to provide bridge financing or other temporary financial support to facilitate asset acquisitions by our sponsored investment vehicles.  Accordingly, our capital requirements will depend to a significant extent upon our level of activity in making investments for our own account or in sponsoring investment vehicles, all of which is largely within our discretion.  Our level of activity in making investments will, in turn, depend to a significant extent upon the availability of investor capital.  While we have been able to raise investment capital through our funds, these activities have been constrained by the illiquidity of the credit markets.

Real estate carveouts.  TIC investment programs and real estate partnerships obtain senior lien financing with respect to certain acquired properties, on a non-recourse basis, with the lender’s remedies limited to the properties securing the senior lien financing.  Although non-recourse in nature, these loans are subject to limited standard exceptions, which we have guaranteed (“carveouts”).  These carveouts relate to a total of $596.5 million in financing and expire as the related indebtedness is paid down over the next ten years.  As of June 30, 2009, we do not believe it is probable that any payments will be required under any of these carveouts and, accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in our consolidated financial statements.  To date, we have not been required to make any carveout payments.

General corporate commitments.  As a specialized asset manager, we sponsor investment funds in which we 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.

We are also party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and other benefits, including severance payments under specified circumstances.

Our wholly owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Chadwick Securities, Inc., or Chadwick, serves as a dealer-manager for the sale of securities of direct participation investment programs, both public and private, sponsored by subsidiaries of ours who also serve as general partners and/or managers of these programs.  Additionally, Chadwick serves as an introducing agent for transactions involving sales of securities of financial services companies, REITs and insurance companies.  As a broker-dealer, Chadwick is subject to the net capital provision of rule 15c3-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined.  As applied to Chadwick, the rule required net capital of $100,000 and $71,000 as of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 respectively.  As of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, Chadwick’s net capital was $799,000 and $547,000, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $699,000 and $476,000, respectively.

Financial Fund Management Clawbacks.  Two of the financial fund management investment partnerships have incentive distributions (carried interests) that are subject to a potential clawback to the extent that such distributions exceed cumulative net profits, as defined in the respective partnership agreements.  At March 31, 2009, we reduced our total potential clawback obligation by $1.7 million.  At June 30, 2009, based upon the evaluation of current information, we further reduced our total potential clawback obligation by $133,000 ($5.7 million at June 30, 2009 from $7.5 million at September 30, 2008) in the consolidated statements of operations as an adjustment to financial fund management revenues.  The estimated liability is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of our business.  Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations.

58

Critical Accounting Policies

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

For a 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 2008, at Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Fair Value Accounting

As of October 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, 157.  This statement provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures concerning fair value.  The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions (inputs) used in valuing the asset or liability.  Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.  The three levels are defined as follows:

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

Level 2 − Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

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

As of June 30, 2009, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Investment securities available-for-sale	$	7,266	$	−	$	8,258	$	15,524
Total assets at fair value	$	7,266	$	−	$	8,258	$	15,524
Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	−	$	552	$	−	$	552
Total liabilities at fair value	$	−	$	552	$	−	$	552

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

	Level 3
Beginning balance, October 1, 2008	$	10,153
Realized losses – impairment charges on investment securities included in operations		(7,962	)
Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, net		(536	)
Change in unrealized losses – included in accumulated other comprehensive loss		6,603
Ending balance, June 30, 2009	$	8,258

59

The following table presents the hierarchy level for each of our assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investments in commercial finance − held for sale	$	−	$	−	$	137,928	$	137,928
Total	$	−	$	−	$	137,928	$	137,928

For cash, receivables and payables, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

It is impractical to determine the fair values of its investments in real estate loans because each loan is a unique transaction involving a discrete property.  However, we believe the carrying amounts of the loans are reasonable estimates of their fair value considering the nature of the loans and the estimated yield relative to the risks involved.

It is also impracticable for us to estimate the fair value of our commercial finance notes receivable.  They comprise a large number of transactions with commercial customers in different businesses, and may be secured by liens on various types of equipment and may be guaranteed by third parties and cross-collateralized.  Any difference between the carrying value and fair value of each transaction would be affected by a potential buyer's assessment of the transaction's credit quality, collateral value, guarantees, payment history, yield, term, documents and other legal matters, and other subjective considerations.  Value received in a fair market sale of a transaction would be based on the terms of the sale, the buyer's and our views of economic and industry conditions, the buyer's and our tax considerations, and other factors.

The fair value of certain financial instruments is as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2009				September 30, 2008
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Assets (1)
Loans held for investment	$	−	$	−	$	219,664	$	190,233
Interest rate caps agreements		−		−		763		763
	$	−	$	−	$	220,427	$	190,996
Borrowings (2)
Secured warehouse debt	$	−	$	−	$	213,321	$	213,321
Commercial finance debt		130,600		130,600		269,319		269,319
Real estate debt		13,272		13,272		13,967		13,967
Other debt		37,742		37,742		57,452		57,452

Liabilities (3)
Interest rate swap contracts	$	552	$	552	$	4,244	$	4,244

(1) The fair value of interest rate cap agreements are included in other assets

(2) The carrying value of our floating rate debt approximates its fair value because of its short-term maturity and the variable interest rates in the debt agreements.  The carrying value of our fixed rate debt approximates its fair value due to our recent issuance.

(3) The fair value of interest rate swap agreements are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Goodwill

In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets”, we do not amortize goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives.  Instead, we perform a review for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate impairment might have occurred.  We test goodwill at the reporting unit level using a two-step process.  The first step is a screen for potential impairment.  In this process, we compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value.  If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit, goodwill is considered not impaired and no further testing is required.

SFAS 142 requires that the impairment review of goodwill be based on estimated fair values.  We utilize the discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting units.  The discounted cash flow approach requires assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates.  We base our assumptions on the current economic environment and credit market conditions.

ITEM 3.                      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks.  The following discussion is not meant to be a precise indicator of expected future losses, but rather an indicator of reasonable credit losses.  This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.  All of our market risk-sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than trading.

General

We are exposed to various market risks, principally fluctuating interest rates.  These risks can impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.  We manage these risks through regular operating and financing activities.

The following analyzes the potential impact on our earnings, cash flows and financial position of a hypothetical change in market risk factors as of June 30, 2009.  Our analysis does not consider other possible effects that could impact our business.

Commercial Finance

We hold commercial finance assets for sale which are comprised of loans and leases at fixed rates of interest.  These assets are generally sold to our leasing investment partnerships at fair value, generally within three to nine months from the date acquired.  Accordingly, our exposure to changes in market interest rates on these assets is minimized.  To finance these assets, we have a $150.0 million variable rate revolving warehouse credit facility with a group of banks led by National City Bank, which had an outstanding balance of $130.6 million at June 30, 2009.  Interest is charged at one of two rates: (i) LIBOR plus 1.5%, or (ii) the prime rate.  We have entered into a $75.0 million interest rate swap agreement in order to mitigate the effect of fluctuations in LIBOR on this facility.  A hypothetical 10% change in LIBOR for the portion that is not covered by the interest rate swap would change our annual interest expense by $165,000.

The fair value of our interest rate swap agreement was $552,000 at June 30, 2009 and is reflected in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.  A hypothetical increase in interest rates by 1% would increase the value of these agreements, and correspondingly, reduce the liability balance by $61,000.  A decrease in the interest rate by 1% would decrease the value of the swap agreements, and correspondingly, increase the liability balance by $30,000.

Portfolio Loans and Related Senior Liens.  As of June 30, 2009, we believe that the loan held in our legacy portfolio that is subordinate to senior liens is not sensitive to changes in interest rates since:

· the loan is subject to forbearance or other agreements that require all of the operating cash flow from the property underlying the loan, after debt service on the senior lien interest, to be paid to us and, therefore, is not currently being paid based on the stated interest rate of the loan;

· the senior lien interest ahead of our interest is at a fixed rate and is not subject to interest rate fluctuation that would affect payments to us; and

· the loan has significant accrued and unpaid interest and other charges outstanding to which cash flow from the underlying property would be applied even if cash flows were to exceed the interest due, as originally underwritten.

Other Loans.  A mortgage that we consolidated as of June 30, 2009 as a result of FIN 46-R is at a fixed interest rate and, therefore, is not subject to interest rate fluctuations.

Other

At June 30, 2009, we had two secured revolving credit facilities for general business use.  Weighted average borrowings on these two facilities were $46.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 at an effective interest rate of 7.4%.  A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate on these facilities would change our annual interest expense by $220,000.

61

ITEM 4.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls

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

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

Internal Financial Control

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
