ITEM 1.

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 mo re particularly described in Item 1A, under the caption “Risk Factors.”  These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results and financial position to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.  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.  We make references to the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 as fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

General

              We are a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through our real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management subsidiaries.  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 funds.  We typically maintain an investment in the funds we sponsor.  As of September 30, 2010, we managed $12.4 billion of assets.

               We limit our fund development and management services to asset classes where we own existing operating companies or have specific expertise.  We believe this strategy enhances the return on investment we can achieve for our funds.  In our real estate operations, we concentrate on the ownership, operation and management of multifamily and commercial real estate and real estate mortgage 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, alth ough not distressed, need substantial improvements to reach their full investment potential).  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 financial fund management operations, we concentrate on trust preferred securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies, bank loans and asset-backed securities, or ABS.

We have developed and manage public and private investment entities, a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and, historically, collateralized debt obligation, or CDO, issuers.  Our funds are marketed principally through an extensive broker-dealer/financial planner network that we have developed.  During fiscal 2010, we focused on developing investment opportunities in our real estate segment:
 
 
In July 2009, Resource Real Estate, Inc., or Resource Real Estate, our wholly-owned real estate subsidiary, filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc., or RRE Opportunity REIT, which will seek to obtain up to $750.0 million in investor funding.  The registration statement became effective during June 2010 and $16.1 million of investor funds have been raised through September 30, 2010.
 
 
In December 2009, Resource Real Estate closed its real estate opportunity fund, which focuses on acquiring discounted real estate assets and related debt, having raised $41.4 million.



Assets Under Management
 
        As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, we managed $12.4 billion and $13.8 billion of assets, respectively, for the accounts of institutional and individual investors, Resource Capital Corp., or RCC (our sponsored REIT), and for our own account in the following asset classes (in millions):

All of our operating segments manage assets on behalf of RCC.

Real Estate

General.  Through our real estate segment, we focus on four different areas:
 
 
the acquisition, ownership and management of portfolios of discounted real estate and real estate related debt, which we have acquired through two sponsored real estate investment entities as well as through joint ventures with institutional investors;
 
 
the sponsorship and management of real estate investment entities that principally invest in multifamily housing;
 
 
the management, principally for RCC, of general investments in commercial real estate debt, including first mortgage debt, whole loans, mortgage participations, B notes, mezzanine debt and related commercial real estate securities; and
 
 
to a lesser extent, the management and resolution of a portfolio of real estate loans and property interests that we acquired at various times between 1991 and 1999, which we collectively refer to as our legacy portfolio.


 
Discounted Real Estate Operations.  In September 2007, we entered into a joint venture with an institutional partner that acquired a pool of eleven mortgage loans from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.  This portfolio was acquired at an overall discount of 51% to the approximately $75.0 million face value of the mortgage loans.  Through September 30, 2010, we have sold three of the mortgages, foreclosed on the properties underlying eight of the mortgage loans and sold four of the foreclosed properties.

In May 2008, we entered into a second joint venture, structured as a credit facility, with the same institutional investor, that makes available up to $500.0 million to finance the acquisition of distressed properties and mortgage loans and that has the objective of repositioning both the directly owned properties and the properties underlying the mortgage loans to enhance their value.  On December 1, 2009, we sold our joint venture interest to RCC at its book value, while retaining management of the assets and continue to receive fees in connection with the acquisition, investment management and disposition of new assets acquired.  Through September 30, 2010, the joint venture had acquired 11 distressed loans and two properties for an a ggregate of $119.4 million.  As of September 30, 2010, we had foreclosed on three of the loans and sold one of those properties.

In June 2010, the registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for RRE Opportunity REIT became effective.  RRE Opportunity REIT intends to purchase a diversified portfolio of U.S. commercial real estate and real estate related debt that has been significantly discounted due to the effects of economic events and high levels of leverage, including properties that may benefit from extensive renovations intended to increase their long-term values.

Real Estate Investment Entities.  Since 2003, we have sponsored and manage 18 real estate investment entities (two of which have since been merged into a single entity and excluding the two real estate CDOs) having raised a total of $335.5 million in investor funds.  Through September 30, 2010, these entities have acquired interests in 46 multifamily apartment complexes comprising 11,373 units with a combined acquisition cost of $630.6 million, including interests owned by third parties and excluding properties sold.

We receive acquisition and debt placement fees from the investment entities in their acquisition stage.  These fees, in the aggregate, have ranged from 1% to 2% of the acquisition costs of the properties and 0.5% to 5.0% of the debt financing in the case of debt placement fees.  In their operational stage, we receive property management fees of 4.5% to 5% of gross revenues.

Additionally, we record an annual investment management fee from our limited partnerships equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds of each partnership for our services.  We record an annual asset management fee from our TIC programs equal to 1% to 2% of the gross revenues from the property in connection with our performance of our asset management responsibilities.  We record an annual asset management fee from one limited liability company equal to 1.5% of the gross revenues of the underlying properties.  These investment management fees and asset management fees are recognized monthly when earned and are discounted to the extent that these fees are deferred.

We record quarterly asset management fees from our joint ventures with an institutional partner equal to 1% of the gross funds invested in distressed real estate loans and assets.  We recognize these fees monthly.

Resource Capital Corp.  As of September 30, 2010, our real estate operations managed approximately $761.4 million of commercial real estate loan assets on behalf of RCC, including $873.0 million held in CDOs we sponsored in which RCC holds the equity interests.  We discuss RCC in more detail in “− Resource Capital Corp.,” below.

Resource Residential.  In October 2007, we established our internal property management division, Resource Real Estate Management, Inc., or Resource Residential.  Our property management division has provided us with a source of stable revenues for our real estate operations.  Furthermore, we believe that having direct management control over the properties in our investment programs has not only enabled us to enhance their profitability, but also provides us with a competitive edge in marketing our funds by distinguishing us from other sponsors of real estate investment funds.  As of September 30, 2010, our property management division manages all of our fund multifamily properties located in 10 states, with the excep tion of one property, in addition to managing the distressed/value-added properties in our joint ventures.  Resource Residential had 333 employees as of September 30, 2010.

Legacy Portfolio of Loan and Property Interests.  Between fiscal 1991 and 1999, our real estate operations focused on the purchase of commercial real estate loans at a discount to their outstanding loan balances and the appraised value of their underlying properties.  Since 1999, management has focused on resolving and disposing of these assets.  During fiscal 2009, the number of loans in this portfolio decreased from eight to five through the payoff of two loans and the foreclosure of another loan.  During fiscal 2010, we sold two more of the legacy loans.  At September 30, 2010, our remaining legacy portfolio consisted of two loans with a book value of $1.0 million and six property interests with a book val ue of $25.5 million.

 
Commercial Finance

General.  Through LEAF Financial Corporation, or LEAF, we focus our commercial finance operations on equipment leases and equipment-secured notes to small and mid-sized companies.  Our financing is generally for “business-essential” equipment including technology, commercial, industrial and medical equipment, with a primary financed transaction size of under $500,000 and an average size of $20,000 to $75,000.

During fiscal 2010, we originated $115.7 million in commercial finance assets.  As of September 30, 2010, we managed an $878.1 million commercial finance portfolio, of which $734.5 million were on behalf of four investment entities we sponsored.
 
Since we originate equipment leases and loans to sell to our investment entities, our originations primarily depend on the purchasing capacity of those entities.  The purchasing capacity of our investment entities depends upon their ability to raise equity capital, to obtain debt and the payments received on existing leases and loans.  In recent years, the credit market conditions have limited our ability to obtain new debt facilities for our investment entities, and we anticipate that this trend may continue during fiscal 2011 and, if so, our originations and accordingly, our revenues, may decline further.

We receive acquisition fees, management fees and reimbursements of our operating and administrative expenses incurred from the investment entities we manage.  Acquisition fees range from 1% to 2% of the value of the equipment leases and loans sold.  Management fees range from 1% to 4% of gross rental or loan payments.

Financial Fund Management
 
        General.  We conduct our financial fund management operations primarily through seven separate operating entities:
 
 
Apidos Capital Management, LLC, or Apidos, finances, structures and manages investments in bank loans, high yield bonds and equity investments;
 
 
Trapeza Capital Management, LLC, or TCM, a joint venture between us and an unrelated third-party, originates, structures, finances and manages investments in trust preferred securities and senior debt securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies through CDO issuers and related partnerships.  TCM together with the Trapeza CDO issuers and Trapeza Partnerships are collectively referred to as Trapeza
 
 
Resource Capital Markets, Inc., through our registered broker-dealer subsidiary, Chadwick Securities, Inc., or Chadwick, acts as an agent in the primary and secondary markets for trust preferred in the financial services and real estate sectors and manages accounts for institutional investors;
 
 
Resource Europe Management Ltd., or Resource Europe, structures and manages investments in international bank loans;
 
 
Resource Financial Institutions Group, Inc., or RFIG, serves as the general partner for seven company-sponsored affiliated partnerships which invest in financial institutions;
 
 
Ischus Capital Management, LLC, or Ischus, finances, structures and manages investments in asset-backed securities or ABS, including residential mortgage-backed securities, or RMBS, and commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS; and
 
 
Resource Capital Manager, Inc., or RCM, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, provides investment management and administrative services to RCC under a management agreement between RCM and RCC.

We derive revenues from our existing financial fund management operations through management fees.  We are also entitled to receive distributions on amounts we have invested directly in CDOs or in limited partnerships we formed that purchased equity in the CDO issuers we sponsored.  Our CDO management fees generally consist of base and subordinated management fees.  For the Trapeza CDO issuers we sponsored and manage, we share base management fees with our co-sponsors.  For CDO issuers we sponsored and manage on behalf of RCC, we receive fees directly from RCC pursuant to our management agreement in lieu of asset management fees from the CDO issuers.  We describe the management fees we receive from RCC in “W 22; Resource Capital Corp” below.  Base management fees generally are a fixed percentage of the aggregate principal balance of eligible collateral held by the CDO.  Our base management fees range from 0.10% to 0.25% of a managed CDO’s assets.  Subordinated management fees are also a percentage of the aggregate principal balance of eligible collateral held by the CDO, and range from 0.08% to 0.45%, but typically are subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs.  The management fees are payable monthly, quarterly or semi-annually, as long as we continue to manage portfolio assets on behalf of the CDO issuer.

Additionally, we record fees for managing the assets held by the partnerships we have sponsored and for managing their general operations.  These fees, which vary by limited partnership, range between 0.75% and 2.00% of the partnership capital balance.

 
 
CDOs.  We expect that we will continue to focus on managing the assets of our existing CDOs in fiscal 2011 while we will also seek opportunities to manage additional assets where we can use our existing financial fund management platform and personnel with little or no equity investment exposure.  No such opportunities became available to us in fiscal 2010, and we may be unable to identify any such opportunities in fiscal 2011.
 
As of September 30, 2010, our financial fund management operations have sponsored and manage 32 CDO issuers (three of which we manage on behalf of RCC) holding approximately $9.9 billion in assets as set forth in the following table:

(3)
Through Trapeza, we own a 50% interest in an entity that manages 11 of the Trapeza CDO issuers and a 33.33% interest in another entity that manages two of the Trapeza CDO issuers.

Resource Capital Corp.  As of September 30, 2010, our financial fund management operations manage $953.6 million of bank loans on behalf of RCC, all of which are in Apidos CDOs we sponsored in which RCC holds the equity interests.  We discuss RCC in more detail in “ − Resource Capital Corp.,” below.

Company-Sponsored Partnerships.  We sponsored, structured and currently manage eight investment entities for individual and institutional investors, seven of which invest in banks and other financial institutions and one of which has been organized as a credit opportunities fund.  At September 30, 2010, these partnerships held $70.3 million of assets.

Resource Capital Corp.

RCC, a publicly-traded (NYSE: RSO) REIT that we sponsored and manage, invests in a diversified portfolio of whole loans, B notes, CMBS and other real estate-related loans and commercial finance assets.  At September 30, 2010, we owned 2.4 million shares of RCC common stock, or approximately 4.4% of RCC’s outstanding common stock, and held options to acquire 2,166 shares (at an exercise price of $15.00 per share and expiring in March 2015).

We manage RCC through RCM.  At September 30, 2010, we managed a total of $1.8 billion of assets on behalf of RCC.  Under our management agreement with RCC, RCM receives a base management fee, incentive compensation and a reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.  The base management fee is 1/12th of 1.50% of RCC’s equity per month.  The management agreement defines “equity” as, essentially, shareholders’ equity, subject to adjustment for non-cash equity compensation expense and non-recurring charges to which the parties agree.  The incentive compensation is 25% of (i) the amount by which RCC’s adjusted operatin g earnings (as defined in the agreement) of RCC (before incentive compensation but after the base management fee) for such quarter per common share (based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for such quarter) exceeds (ii) an amount equal to (a) the weighted average of the price per share of RCC’s common shares in the initial offering by RCC and the prices per share of the common shares in any subsequent offerings of RCC, in each case at the time of issuance thereof, multiplied by (b) the greater of (1) 2.00% and (2) 0.50% plus one-fourth of the ten year treasury rate (as defined in the agreement) for such quarter, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such quarter; provided, that the foregoing calculation of incentive compensation will be adjusted (i) to exclude events pursuant to changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, or the application of U.S. GAAP, as well as non-recurring or unusual transactions or events, after discussion between us, RCC and the approval of a majority of RCC’s directors in the case of non-recurring or unusual transactions or events and (ii) by deducting any fees paid directly by RCC to our employees, agents and/or affiliates with respect to profits earned by a taxable REIT subsidiary of RCC (calculated as if such fees were payable quarterly) not previously used to offset incentive compensation.  RCM receives at least 25% of its incentive compensation in additional shares of RCC common stock and has the option to receive more of its incentive compensation in stock under the management agreement.  We also receive an acquisition fee of 1% of the carrying value of the commercial finance assets we sell to RCC.  For fiscal 2010, the management, incentive, servicing and acquisition fees we received from RCC across all of our operating segments were $10.9 million, or 12% of our consolidated revenues.


Credit Facility and Notes

As of September 30, 2010, we had one outstanding credit facility, which we established with TD Bank in May 2007 as a revolving facility.  The September 30, 2010 principal balance on the line was $14.1 million and the line was fully utilized.  We repaid $10.6 million of the line from proceeds of the offering of our 12% senior notes, or the Senior Notes (as discussed below), and agreed to reduce availability under the line.  Availability is further reduced by $150,000 in monthly principal repayments.  The current interest rate on the line is, based on our election, at either (i) the prime rate of interest plus 3% with a floor of 7% or (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 4.5% with a floor of 7.5%.  In add ition, we have a $401,000 letter of credit outstanding, which reduces our availability on the facility, and for which we are charged a 5.25% fee.  The line matures on October 15, 2011.

Borrowings are secured by a first priority security interest in specified assets and guarantees by certain subsidiaries, including (i) the present and future fees and investment income earned in connection with the management of, and investments in, sponsored CDO issuers, (ii) a pledge of 18,972 shares of The Bancorp, Inc. or TBBK, (NASDAQ: TBBK) common stock, and (iii) the pledge of 1,321,657 shares of RCC common stock.  Availability under the facility is limited to the lesser of (a) 75% of the net present value of future management fees to be earned or (b) the maximum revolving credit facility amount.  Weighted average borrowings for fiscal 2010 and 2009 were $17.8 million and $39.6 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 10.7% a nd 8.7%, respectively.

On September and October 2009, we completed a private offering to certain senior executives and shareholders with the sale of $18.8 million of Senior Notes due 2012 with 5-year detachable warrants to purchase 3,690,195 shares (at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $5.11 per share).  The Senior Notes require quarterly payments of interest in arrears beginning December 31, 2009.  The notes are unsecured, senior obligations and are junior to our existing and future secured indebtedness.

Our commercial finance segment also has a short-term bridge loan to which we may borrow up to $21.5 million in the form of notes which are asset-backed debt.  Guggenheim Securities, LLC and its affiliate are the lenders under the notes.  The blended interest rate of the notes is 6.98% on the amounts outstanding and the maturity date of the notes is February 20, 2011.  Interest and principal are due on each class of notes on a monthly basis.

Asset Sourcing for Commercial Finance and Real Estate

Commercial finance.  LEAF is responsible for sourcing commercial finance investments primarily through program relationships with manufacturers and dealers of essential use equipment and software as well as through acquisitions of existing portfolios originated by third parties.  LEAF’s strategy for originations involves integrating its finance products into the sales and marketing organizations of manufacturers and dealers.  By developing and maintaining program its relationships with these manufacturers and dealers, LEAF is able to leverage and utilize their sales organizations to market its commercial finance products and services to the highly dispersed population of smal l- to medium-sized businesses, which is LEAF’s targeted demographic.  On acquisitions, LEAF seeks organizations with a portfolio of financing contracts that provide acceptable returns for its investment entities coupled with proven origination teams.

Real estate.  Resource Real Estate is responsible for sourcing investments for our real estate operations and managing CDOs.  We maintain relationships with asset owners, institutions, existing partners and borrowers, who often source investment opportunities directly to us.  We maintain offices in Philadelphia, New York, Denver and Los Angeles that provide us with a national platform of acquisition and loan origination specialists that source deals from key intermediaries such as commercial real estate brokers, mortgage brokers and specialists in selling discounted and foreclosed assets.  We systematically work to exchange market data and asset knowledge across the platf orm to provide instant market feedback on potential investments that is based on empirical data as well as on our $1.6 billion portfolio of assets under management.

ITEM 1A.

You should carefully consider the following risks together with all of the other information contained in this report in evaluating our company.  If any of these risks develop into actual events, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
 
Risks Related to Our Business Generally
 
Our business depends upon our ability to sponsor, and raise debt and equity capital for, our investment funds.
 
Our business as a specialized asset manager depends upon our ability to sponsor investment funds, raise sufficient debt financing for these funds and to generate management fees by managing those funds and the assets they hold.  If we are unable to raise capital or obtain financing through these funds, we will not be able to increase our assets under management and, accordingly, our revenues from management fees will be significantly reduced.  Our ability to raise capital and obtain financing through these funds depends upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
 
 
existing capital markets conditions.  As a result of the ongoing credit market turmoil, we may not be able to obtain debt financing on attractive terms.  As a result, we may be required to use a greater proportion of our equity funds to complete asset acquisitions and originations, reducing the number of investments we would otherwise make.  If the current capital markets environment persists, we may modify our investment strategy in order to optimize our portfolio performance.  Our options would include limiting or eliminating the use of debt and focusing on those investments that do not require the use of leverage to meet our portfolio goals.  During fiscal 2010, the market constraints on our ability to obtain debt financing caused our commercial finance operations to reduce originations of leases and loans held for our investment entities, as well as for our a ccount, which reduced our operating revenues.  For our financial fund management operations, the availability of financing has been largely halted;
 
 
market acceptance of the types of funds we sponsor and market perceptions about the types of assets which we seek to acquire for our funds which has been impaired by current market conditions;
 
 
the willingness or ability of retail investors, a principal source of investment funds for our commercial finance and real estate investment funds, to invest in long-term, relatively illiquid investments of the type sponsored by us;
 
 
the performance of our existing funds.  During fiscal 2010, several of our funds reduced or ceased to make equity distributions as a result of reduced operations.  Accordingly, we have waived our management fees and anticipate waiving these fees in the future;
 
 
the availability of qualified personnel to manage our funds;
 
 
the availability of suitable investments in the types of loans, real estate, commercial finance assets and other assets that we seek to acquire for our funds; and
 
 
interest rate changes and their effect on both the assets we seek to acquire for our funds, and the amount, cost and availability of acquisition financing.

Declines in the market values of our investments may reduce our earnings and the availability of credit.

We classify a material portion of our assets for accounting purposes as “available-for-sale.”  As a result, changes in the market values of those assets are directly charged or credited to stockholders’ equity.  A decline in these values will reduce the book value of our assets.  Moreover, if the decline in value of an available-for-sale asset is other-than-temporary, such decline will reduce earnings.  As a result of market conditions, the market value of many of our assets has declined.  We cannot assure you that there will not be further declines in the value of our assets, or that the declines will not be material.

A decline in the market value of our assets may also adversely affect us in instances where we have borrowed money based on the market value of those assets.  If the market value of those assets declines, the lender may require us to post additional collateral to support the loan.  If we were unable to post the additional collateral, we could have to sell the assets under adverse market conditions which could result in losses and which could result in us failing our debt covenants.

Interest rate changes may reduce the value of our assets, our returns on these assets and our ability to generate and increase our management fee revenues.
 
Changes in interest rates will affect the market value of assets we hold for our own account and our returns from such assets.  In general, as interest rates rise, the value of fixed-rate investments, such as equipment leases and loans, will decrease, while as interest rates fall, the return on variable rate assets will fall.  In addition, changes in interest rates may affect the value and return on assets we manage for our investment funds, thereby affecting both our management fees from those funds as well as our ability to sponsor additional investment funds, which, in turn, may affect our ability to generate and increase our management fee revenues.


Increases in interest rates will increase our operating costs.

As of September 30, 2010, we had one corporate credit facility at a variable interest rate.  We may seek to obtain other credit facilities depending upon capital markets conditions.  Any facilities that we may be able to obtain may also be at variable rates.  As a result, increases in interest rates on such credit facilities, to the extent they are with recourse to us and are not matched by increased interest rates or other income from the assets whose acquisition was financed by these facilities, or are not subject to effective hedging arrangements, will increase our interest costs, which would reduce our net income or cause us to sustain losses.  In addition, any financing we obtain may require us to maintain a specified rati o of the amount of the loan to the value of the underlying assets.  A decrease in the value of these assets may lead to margin calls or calls for the pledge to, or deposit with, the lender of additional assets.  We may not have sufficient funds or unpledged assets to satisfy these calls.  While losses sustained by CDOs or other VIEs we consolidate are typically without recourse to us, financing we obtain may impose financial covenants calculated pursuant to U.S. GAAP, which would include the effects of the these consolidated VIEs.  As a result, asset value declines or other adverse occurrences in the CDOs may cause us to breach these covenants, which could lead to margin calls or, possibly, constitute events of default under our corporate or other credit facilities.

Changes in interest rates may impair the operating results of our investment funds and thereby impair our operating results.

The investments made by many of our funds are interest rate sensitive.  As a result, changes in interest rates could reduce the value of the assets held and the returns to investors, thereby impairing our ability to raise capital, reducing the management and other fees from those funds and reducing our returns on, and the value of, amounts we have invested in those funds.

If we cannot generate sufficient cash to fund our participations in our investment funds, our ability to maintain and increase our revenues may be impaired.

We typically participate in our investment funds along with our investors, and believe that our participation enhances our ability to raise capital from investors.  We typically fund our participations through cash derived from operations or from financing.  If our cash from operations is insufficient to fund our participation in future investment funds we sponsor, and we cannot arrange for financing, our continuing ability to raise funds from investors and, thus, our ability to maintain and increase the revenues we receive from fund management, will be impaired.

Termination of management arrangements with one or more of our investment funds could harm our business.

We provide management services to our investment funds through management agreements, through our position as the sole or managing general partner of partnership funds, through our position as the operating manager of other fund entities, or combinations thereof.  Our arrangements are long-term, and frequently have no specified termination dates.  However, our management arrangements with, or our position as general partner or operating manager of, an investment fund typically may be terminated by action taken by the investors.  Upon any such termination, our management fees, after payment of any termination payments required, would cease, thereby reducing our expected revenues.  Moreover, under our credit facility with TD Bank , the borrowing base depends upon the value of the collateral pledged, which includes management fees from our financial fund management segment.  As a result, termination of one or more management arrangements would reduce our collateral which could reduce our borrowing base.  If the borrowing base were reduced below amounts outstanding on the facility, we would be required to repay the excess.  To the extent we do not have cash available to repay the excess, we may be required to sell assets to obtain the necessary cash; any such sale may not be on economically attractive terms, particularly under current economic condition.

We may have difficulty managing our asset portfolios under current market conditions.

Current market conditions have increased the complexity of managing the assets held by us and our investment funds.  As a result, we depend on the ability of our officers and key employees to continue to implement and improve our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures to deal effectively with the complexity of the conditions under which we operate.  We may not be able to implement improvements to our management information and control systems in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls.  Consequently, we may experience strains on our administrative and operations infrastructure, increasing our costs or reducing or eliminating our profitability.< /font>



Our allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover future losses.

At September 30, 2010, our allowances for possible credit losses were $900,000 in commercial finance (7% of the book value of our leases and loans held for investment in our commercial finance segment) and $1.1 million allowance for possible credit losses on receivables from managed entities (3% of the book value of commercial finance managed receivables).  We cannot assure you that these allowances will prove to be sufficient to cover future losses, or that future provisions for credit losses will not be materially greater than those we have recorded to date.  Losses that exceed our allowance for credit losses, or cause an increase in our provision for credit losses, could materially reduce our earnings.

Many of the assets we hold in our portfolios are illiquid, and we may not be able to divest them in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions.

Many of the assets in our portfolio, including those of VIEs included in our consolidated financial statements, do not have ready markets.  Moreover, we believe that the market for many of the assets in our portfolio, particularly real estate and CDO interests, have been severely constricted as a result of current economic conditions.  As a result, many of our portfolio assets are relatively illiquid investments.  We may be unable to vary our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions or to sell our investments on acceptable terms should we desire to do so.

We are subject to substantial competition in all aspects of our business.

Our ability to sponsor investment funds is highly dependent on our access to various distribution systems of national, regional and local securities firms, and our ability to locate and acquire appropriate assets for our investment funds.  We are subject to substantial competition in each area.  In the distribution area, our investment funds compete with those sponsored by other asset managers, which are being distributed through the same networks, as well as investments sponsored by the securities firms themselves.  While we have been successful in maintaining access to these distribution channels, we cannot assure you that we will continue to do so.  The inability to have continued access to our distribution channels could re duce the number of funds we sponsor and assets we manage, thereby impeding and possibly impairing our revenues and revenue growth.

In acquiring appropriate assets for our investment funds, we compete with numerous public and private investment entities, commercial banks, investment banks and other financial institutions, as well as industry participants in each of our separate asset management areas.  Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.  Competition for desirable investments may result in higher costs and lower investment returns, and may delay our sponsorship of investment funds.

There are few economic barriers to entry in the asset management business.

Our investment funds compete against an ever-increasing number of investment and asset management products and services sponsored by investment banks, banks, insurance companies, financial services companies and others.  There are few economic barriers to entry into the investment or asset management industries and, as a result, we expect that competition for access to distribution channels and appropriate assets to acquire will increase.

Our ability to realize our deferred tax asset may be reduced, which may adversely impact results of operations.

Realization of a deferred tax asset requires us to exercise significant judgment and is inherently uncertain because it requires the prediction of future occurrences.  Our deferred tax asset may be reduced in the future if estimates of future income or our tax planning strategies do not support the amount of the deferred tax asset.  If it is determined that a valuation allowance of our deferred tax asset is necessary, we may incur a charge to earnings.

Reductions in the borrowing capacity under our credit facility may reduce our ability to acquire assets, may require us to sell assets and, as a result, reduce our earnings or cause us to incur losses.

We have a corporate credit facility with TD Bank that was fully utilized at September 30, 2010.  Under the terms of the TD Bank facility, the maximum facility amount was reduced to $15.0 million at June 30, 2010, and matures on October 15, 2011.  Any reductions that may occur in the future, and the maturity of the facility in 2011 could require us to sell assets to repay amounts outstanding or seek alternative financing arrangements to meet our obligations, which may be on less favorable terms or unavailable.  As a result, our financing costs could increase and our net operating income and earnings could decrease.  We could also incur losses upon the sale of assets.



The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) may detrimentally affect our business.

We expect that the Dodd-Frank Act will have a significant impact on the financial services industry, and may particularly impact us with respect to hedging activities, our broker-dealer operations and, possibly, our ability to obtain financing to increase our assets under management or revenues.  Because much of the Dodd-Frank Act creates a framework through which regulatory reform will be promulgated, rather than providing regulatory reform itself, we cannot predict the magnitude of the effect that the Dodd-Frank Act will ultimately have on us.

Risks Relating to Particular Aspects of Our Real Estate, Commercial Finance and Financial Fund Management Operations

If we are unable to obtain a new credit facility for our commercial finance business, the commercial finance business may be impaired.

Our commercial finance business depends upon our ability to obtain financing to acquire and carry equipment leases and loans.  Our commercial finance subsidiary, LEAF, currently has short-term bridge financing for up to $21.5 million that matures February 20, 2011.  We are seeking to obtain new longer term financing, but can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing.  Failure to obtain replacement financing would limit our ability to originate new leases and loans.  In that event, our commercial finance business could incur losses, which could be significant, and our ability to conduct that business could be impaired.

We may incur impairments to goodwill.

At September 30, 2010, we had $8.0 million recorded as goodwill in our commercial finance business.  We review our goodwill at least annually.  Significant negative industry or economic trends, including the lack of recovery in the market price of the our common stock, reduced estimates of future cash flows or disruptions to the commercial finance business, could indicate that goodwill might be impaired.  Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and to rely on projections of future operating performance.  Our commercial finance business operates in competitive environments and projections of future operating results and cash flows ma y vary significantly from actual results.  If our analysis results in an impairment to goodwill, we would be required to record a non-cash charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which such impairment is determined to exist.  Any such change could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and our stock price.

Our equipment leases and loans may have significant risk of default.

Many of the entities seeking equipment financing from us are small- to middle-size businesses which may have fewer resources than larger businesses and which may be disproportionally affected by current economic conditions.  As a result, we, and the investment funds we sponsor (from which we derive management and other fees) may be subject to higher risks of a default than if we provided equipment financing to larger businesses.  While we will seek to repossess and re-lease or sell the equipment subject to a defaulted lease or other commercial finance instrument, we may not be able to do so on advantageous terms.  If a borrower files for protection under the bankruptcy laws, we may experience difficulties and delays in recovering the equ ipment.  Moreover, the equipment may be returned in poor condition and we may be unable to enforce important lease or loan provisions against an insolvent borrower, including the contract provisions that require the borrower to return the equipment in good condition.  In some cases, the deteriorating financial condition of a borrower may make trying to recover what it owes impractical.  The costs of recovering equipment upon a default, enforcing obligations under the lease or loan, and transporting, storing, repairing and finding a new borrower or purchaser for the equipment may be high.  All the foregoing risks may be heightened by economic conditions currently existing in the United States.  Higher than expected lease defaults will result in a loss of anticipated revenues and will reduce our ability to operate LEAF at a profit.

As a result of recent conditions in the global credit markets, our ability to sponsor investment entities and increase our assets under management may be limited.

Our financial fund management business has largely consisted of the sponsorship and management of CDO issuers.  As a result of conditions in the global credit markets, sponsorship of new CDOs was impracticable in fiscal 2009 and 2010 and likely will continue to be impracticable in fiscal 2011.  Moreover, our ability to sponsor investment funds in our commercial finance and real estate segments depends to a significant extent on our ability to obtain financing.  Our ability to obtain new financing, and refinance existing financing, both for us and for our investment funds, was adversely impacted by credit market conditions in fiscal 2010.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain new financing or refinance existing fi nancing in the future on acceptable financial terms, or at all.  An inability to obtain financing could limit or eliminate our ability to sponsor investment entities and increase our assets under management and, accordingly, impair our ability to generate asset management fees.


We typically have retained some portion or all of the equity in the CDOs we sponsored.  CDO equity receives distributions from the CDO only if the CDO generates enough income to first pay the holders of the debt securities and the CDO’s expenses.

We typically have retained some portion or all of the equity interest in CDOs we sponsored either directly or through limited partnership investments.  The equity is usually entitled to all of the income generated by the CDO after the CDO pays all of the interest due on the debt securities and its other expenses, and is entitled to a return on capital only when the principal amount and accrued interest of all of the debt securities has been paid.  However, there will be little or no income available to the CDO equity if covenants regarding the operations of a CDO (primarily relating to the value of collateral and interest coverage) are not met, or if there are excessive payment defaults, payment deferrals or rating agency downgrades by the issuers of the underlying collateral, and there may be little or no amounts available to return our capital.  In that event, the value of our direct or indirect investment in the CDO’s equity, which for all CDOs was approximately $6.2 million at September 30, 2010, could decrease substantially or be eliminated.  In addition, the equity securities of CDOs are generally illiquid, and because they represent a leveraged investment in the CDO’s assets, the value of the equity securities will generally have greater fluctuations than the value of the underlying collateral.

In some of our investment funds, a portion of our management fees may depend upon the performance of the fund and, as a result, our management fee income may be volatile.

As of September 30, 2010, a portion of our management fees is subordinated to the investors’ receipt of specified returns in 11 of the CDOs we manage.  In addition, with respect to RCC and eight of our investment entities, we receive incentive or subordinated compensation in addition to our base management fee, depending upon whether RCC or those partnerships achieve returns above specified levels.  During fiscal 2010 and 2009, we earned incentive and subordinated management fees from RCC and from 11 and 21 CDOs, respectively, which constituted 22% and 17%, respectively, of our aggregate management fee income for both periods.  As a result of current economic conditions, the amount of incentive or subordinated management fee income we receive may be reduced, and any such reduction may be material.

Real estate loans in our portfolio are subject to a higher risk of loss than conventional mortgage loans.

Real estate loans in our portfolio differ significantly from conventional mortgage loans.  In particular, these loans:
 
 
are junior mortgage loans;
 
 
involve payment structures other than equal periodic payments that retire a loan over its term;
 
 
require the borrower to pay a large lump sum at loan maturity (which will depend upon the borrower’s ability to obtain financing or otherwise raise a substantial amount of cash at maturity); and
 
 
while producing income, do not generate sufficient revenues to pay the full amount of debt service on the loan as originally structured.

As a result, real estate loans in our portfolio may have a higher risk of default and loss than conventional mortgage loans, and may require us to become involved in expensive and time-consuming workouts, or bankruptcy, reorganization or foreclosure proceedings.

In addition, the principal or sole source of recovery for our real estate loans is typically the underlying property and, accordingly, the value of our loans, and our ability to collect loan payments will depend upon local, regional and national economic conditions, and conditions affecting the property specifically, including the cost of compliance with, and liability under environmental, health and safety laws, changes in interest rates and the availability of financing, casualty losses, the attractiveness of the property, the availability of tenants, the ability of tenants to pay rent, competition from similar properties in the area and neighborhood values.  Operating and other expenses of real properties, particularly significant expenses such as real e state taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, generally do not decrease when revenues decrease and, even if revenues increase, operating and other expenses may increase faster than revenues.

We may not be able to raise sufficient funds for our Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (or RRE Opportunity REIT).

During the offering period of RRE Opportunity REIT, we are advancing funds to pay certain of its operating expenses and organization and offering costs.  As of September 30, 2010, we had advances of $3.3 million to RRE Opportunity REIT, which is included in receivables from managed entities and related parties. We anticipate that we will continue to provide additional funding.  If the RRE Opportunity REIT fails to raise enough funds through its public stock offering, we would be required to charge amounts due from it to expense.



We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over accounting for income taxes that, if not remediated, could affect our ability to prepare timely and accurate financial reports, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
 
In connection with the preparation of this report, we identified and reported a material weakness in our internal controls over accounting for income taxes. As a result of this material weakness, we were unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting relating to income taxes was effective as of September 30, 2010. Although we have instituted new controls to remediate this weakness, if these controls are not effective, our ability to prepare timely and accurate financial reports could be affected, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock or our ability to obtain financing for our operations.

ITEM 2.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:
 
        We maintain our executive and corporate offices at One Crescent Drive in the Philadelphia Navy Yard under a lease for 13,484 square feet that expires in May 2019.  Certain of our financial fund management and real estate operations are also located in these offices.  We lease 21,554 square feet for additional executive office space and for certain of our real estate operations at 1845 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  We sublease a portion of this space to Atlas Energy, Inc. (formerly Atlas America, Inc., or Atlas Energy, our former energy subsidiary).  This lease, which expires in May 2013, is in an office build ing in which we own a 5% equity interest.  Our commercial finance operations are located in another office building at One Commerce Square, 2005 Market Street, 15th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania under a lease for 59,448 square feet that expires in August 2013.

New York, New York:
 
        We maintain additional executive offices in a 10,303 square foot location at 712 5th Avenue, New York, New York under a lease agreement that expires in July 2020.

Other Locations:

Our commercial finance operations own a 29,500 square foot building at 1720A Crete Street, Moberly, Missouri.  In addition, we maintain various office leases in the following cities:  Omaha, Nebraska; Los Angeles and Santa Ana, California; and Denver, Colorado.  We also lease office space in London, England for our European operations.

As of September 30, 2010, we believe that the properties we lease are suitable for our operations and adequate for our needs.


In August 2009, Riverside National Bank of Florida, or Riverside, initiated a lawsuit now captioned Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation v. The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. et al., United States District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 10 Civ. 4421, against several investment banks, rating agencies, and collateral managers of CDOs, including Trapeza Capital Management, LLC, or TCM.  We own a 50% interest in TCM, and an unaffiliated third-party owns the other 50% interest.

The complaint seeks monetary damages in an unspecified amount against TCM arising out of Riverside’s investment in certain CDOs between 2005 and 2007.  Riverside’s claims against TCM stem from its role as collateral manager for various Trapeza CDOs, which were sold by various investment banks.  The complaint alleges that the offering materials for the CDOs were prepared in part by TCM and were false and misleading.  The complaint further alleges that TCM breached fiduciary and contractual obligations by failing to properly monitor the collateral for the CDOs, failing to mitigate losses and failing to disclose known quality and performance problems with the underlying collateral.  TCM believes that none of the claims have merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

We are also 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.

We have paid regular quarterly cash dividends since the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.  Commencing with the dividend payable in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we increased our quarterly dividend by 20% to $0.06 per common share and, beginning with the dividend payable in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and continuing to the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we further increased our quarterly dividend by 17% to $0.07 per common share.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we reduced the dividend to $0.03 per common share, a decrease of 57%, in part due to the impact on us of the volatility and reduction in liquidity in the global credit markets. We have continued to declare a $0.03 quarterly dividend through the remainder of fiscal 2009 and for fi scal 2010.

Until our 12% senior notes (due in 2012) are paid in full, retired or repurchased, we cannot declare or pay future quarterly cash dividends in excess of $0.03 per share without the prior approval of all the holders of the senior notes unless basic earnings per share from continuing operations from the preceding fiscal quarter exceeds $0.25 per share.  There are no restrictions imposed on the declaration of dividends under our credit facility.

Issuer Sales of Equity Securities
 
In connection with the sale of $18.8 million of our 12% senior notes which was completed on October 6, 2009, we issued five-year detachable warrants which provide purchasers with the right to acquire 3,690,195 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $5.11 per share.  No separate consideration was paid by the purchasers for the warrants.  See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.  We relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Regulation D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.  The proceeds of the offering were used to pay down our credit facility with TD Bank by $10.6 million and for general corp orate purposes.


Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On July 26, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we may buy up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time, replacing a similar plan that had been approved by the Board in September 2004.  Through September 30, 2008, we had repurchased an aggregate of 188,123 shares at a total cost of $2.8 million, at an average cost of $14.99 per share.  We did not repurchase any additional shares under this program during fiscal 2010 or 2009.

ITEM 7.
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview
 
        We are a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities in 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.  Assets under management have grown from $7.1 billion at September 30, 2005 to $12.4 billion at September 30, 2010.< /font>

We limit our fund development and management services to asset classes where we own existing operating companies or have specific expertise.  We believe this strategy enhances the return on investment we can achieve for our funds.  In our real estate operations, we concentrate on the ownership, operation and management of multifamily and commercial real estate and real estate mortgage 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 substantia l improvements to reach their full investment potential).  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 financial fund management operations, we concentrate on 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 have reduced our ability to access debt financing for our operations.  For fiscal 2011, given the constraints imposed by current economic and market conditions, we expect to focus on managing our existing assets, which provides us with substantial fee income, and raising investor funds through our retail broker channel for investment programs, particularly in our real estate business.  In our real estate segment, we continue to redirect the focus f rom acquiring and managing performing multifamily assets to acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate and real estate related debt that has been significantly discounted due to the effects of the economic events and high levels of leverage.  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.

In our commercial finance segment, we have reduced our originations during fiscal 2010 in conjunction with the reduced availability of debt financing.  During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010, we sold approximately $116.0 million of leases and loans to our affiliate, Resource Capital Corp., or RCC, and recognized a loss of $7.5 million.  The proceeds of the sale were primarily used to pay off and terminate our warehouse credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A.  In September, we obtained a $21.5 million short-term bridge loan (matures in February 2011) in order to originate leases and loans.  We are in the process of seeking longer term financing for future lease and loan originations.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing in sufficient amounts to resume our prior origination volumes, upon acceptable terms, or at all.  In addition, during fiscal 2010, four of our commercial finance investment entities reduced their equity distributions to their partners as a result of the impact of the recession on the cash flow of these entities.  As a result, we waived $3.8 million of management fees from these funds and recorded a $1.1 million reserve for doubtful accounts on amounts owed to us.  We anticipate waiving these management fees in the future, which will accordingly reduce our revenues.
 
Principally as a result of these charges, we recorded a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $13.5 million in fiscal 2010 as compared to net losses attributable to common shareholders of $14.9 million and $26.2 million for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.



Assets Under Management
 
        We decreased our assets under management by $1.3 billion to $12.4 billion at September 30, 2010 from $13.8 billion at September 30, 2009. The following table sets forth information relating to our assets under management by operating segment (in millions) (1):

We provide a more detailed discussion of the revenues generated by each of our business segments under “-Results of Operations:  Commercial Finance,” “:Real Estate” and “:Financial Fund Management.”


Results of Operations:  Real Estate

During fiscal 2010, we continue to redirect the focus of our real estate subsidiary, Resource Real Estate, Inc., from acquiring and managing performing multifamily assets to (a) acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate and real estate related debt that have been significantly discounted due to the effects of economic events and high levels of leverage and (b) managing existing assets for our real estate programs.  In December 2009, we closed Resource Real Estate Opportunity Fund L.P., a limited partnership, which invests in discounted real estate and real estate related debt, after raising a total of $41.4 million.  Additionally, we formed Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc., or RRE Opportunity REIT, which w ill further invest in discounted commercial real estate and real estate related debt.  The registration statement for this fund became effective in June 2010.  For fiscal 2011, our primary fundraising efforts will be focused on the RRE Opportunity REIT.

Through our real estate segment, we focus on four different areas:
 
 
the acquisition, ownership and management of portfolios of discounted real estate and real estate related debt, which we have acquired through two sponsored real estate investment entities as well as through joint ventures with institutional investors;
 
 
the sponsorship and management of real estate investment entities that principally invest in multifamily housing;
 
 
the management, principally for RCC, of general investments in commercial real estate debt, including first mortgage debt, whole loans, mortgage participations, B notes, mezzanine debt and related commercial real estate securities; and
 
 
to a lesser extent, the management and resolution of a portfolio of real estate loans and property interests that we acquired at various times between 1991 and 1999, which we collectively refer to as our legacy portfolio.

For information on how we calculate assets under management, see Item 1, “Business − “Assets under Management.”

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 back to our funds at our original cost and recognize a gain approximately equal to the previously recognized loss.

Revenues − Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

Revenues from our real estate operations increased $6.5 million (26%) to $31.9 million for fiscal 2010 from $25.4 million in fiscal 2009.  We attribute the increase primarily to the following:

Management fees:
 
 
a $907,000 increase in asset management fees due to an increase in equity deployed in properties in our investment entities, primarily the assets acquired by Resource Real Estate Opportunity Fund, L.P.
 
 
a $934,000 increase in property management fees earned by Resource Residential, reflecting the 728 unit increase (6%) in multifamily units under management to 13,522 units at September 30, 2010 from 12,794 at September 30, 2009; and
 
 
a $2.5 million increase in REIT management fees from RCC as a result of an increase in incentive management fees and in equity capital (upon which our base management fee is calculated) resulting from RCC’s success in raising capital through common stock offerings.

Other revenues:
 
 
a $429,000 decrease in fee income in connection with the purchase and third-party financing of property through our real estate investment entities.  During fiscal 2010, we earned fees from the acquisition of six distressed notes for $81.1 million and four property acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $19.3 million, as compared to the acquisition of seven properties with an aggregate purchase price of $62.7 million during fiscal 2009.  Since we do not place financing on our distressed note acquisitions, the decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in debt placement fees for the properties we acquired in fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009;
 
 
a $370,000 decrease in rental property income and revenues of consolidated VIEs due to the sale of a consolidated VIE interest in January 2010;
 
 
a $379,000 decrease in interest income attributable to the payoff of one loan in June 2010 (book value of $2.8 million);
 
 
a $1.8 million increase in gains and fees on the resolution of loans and other property interests.  During fiscal 2010, we recorded a gain of $1.9 million (proceeds of $4.8 million) on the settlement of one loan.  We also received proceeds of $2.1 million, including a cost reimbursement of $101,000, from the sale of a joint venture interest to RCC and recorded a gain of $145,000 from another asset sale (proceeds of $260,000).  In addition, we recorded a gain of $642,000 (proceeds of $642,000) from the sale of an asset by a joint venture; and


 
 
a $1.5 million increase in equity earnings primarily reflecting a $700,000 increase due to a favorable change in an interest rate swap held by one of our investment entities and a $500,000 increase in income in the underlying investment held by another entity, reflecting primarily increased rental income and lease termination fees.

Costs and Expenses − Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

Costs and expenses of our real estate operations decreased $1.3 million (6%) to $20.8 million for fiscal 2010 from $22.0 million for fiscal 2009.  We attribute the decrease primarily to the following:
 
 
a $1.6 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily reflecting the $1.5 million allocation of wages and benefits to RRE Opportunity REIT; and
 
 
a $325,000 decrease in rental property expenses and consolidated VIE expenses due to the sale of our interests in a consolidated VIE entity which held a property.

Revenues − Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

Revenues decreased $6.1 million (19%) to $25.4 million for fiscal 2009 from $31.5 million in fiscal 2008.  We attribute the decrease primarily to the following:

Management fees:
 
 
a $1.5 million increase in asset management fees due to an increase in equity deployed in properties that we manage in our investment entities;
 
 
a $1.7 million increase in fees earned by Resource Residential.  Multifamily units under management increased to 12,794 at September 30, 2009 from 10,877 at September 30, 2008; and
 
 
an $856,000 increase in REIT management fees due principally to higher RCC net income which increased the incentive management fee.

Other revenues:
 
 
a $1.7 million decrease in fee income.  During fiscal 2009, we earned fees from the acquisition of four distressed notes for $31.9 million and seven property acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $62.7 million, as compared to the acquisition of seven properties with an aggregate purchase price of $89.7 million during fiscal 2008.  During fiscal 2009, the fees earned were 1.0% to 1.75% of the acquisition price as compared to 1.75% of the acquisition price during fiscal 2008;
 
 
a $334,000 increase in master lease revenues from one TIC property due to improved occupancy;
 
 
a $194,000 decrease in rental property income and revenues of consolidated VIEs due to a 17% reduction in the daily rate charged at the Savannah, Georgia hotel we own in addition to the sale of our entire interest in another asset to one of our real estate investment funds;
 
 
a $1.1 million decrease in interest income attributable to the principal paydown of two loans and the foreclosure of another loan;
 
 
an $8.5 million decrease in gains and fees on the resolution of loans and other property interests.  During fiscal 2009, we received proceeds of $9.9 million from the payoff of one loan, resulting in a gain of $991,000, received discounted proceeds of $1.2 million from the payoff of another loan resulting in a loss of $313,000 and recorded a $330,000 gain on an asset sold in the prior year.  In fiscal 2008, we collected $18.4 million in connection with a substantial settlement of a discounted loan, which was secured by an office building in Washington, D.C.  As a result of this repayment, we recognized a pre-tax gain in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 of approximately $7.5 million.  Also, in fiscal 2008, we received $1.0 million in net proceeds plus a $130,000 structuring fee from the sale of a 19.99% interest in a partnership that owns a hotel property resulting in a gain of $574,000, and 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; and
 
 
a $946,000 decrease in equity losses of unconsolidated entities due to a favorable change in an interest rate swap.

Costs and Expenses − Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008
 
Costs and expenses of our real estate operations decreased $564,000 (2%) to $22.0 million for fiscal 2009 from $22.6 million for fiscal 2008.  We attribute the decrease primarily to the following:
 
 
a $3.0 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, primarily $1.7 million of wages and benefits, of which $1.2 million related to reduced bonuses;
 


 
 
a $1.4 million increase in Resource Residential expenses due to an increase in wages and benefits related to an increase in the number of employees required to manage the increase in properties; and
 
 
a $496,000 increase in master lease expenses from one TIC asset due to turnover costs related to occupancy.


Results of Operations:  Commercial Finance

During fiscal 2010, we focused our efforts on improving the financial condition of our commercial finance segment primarily by:
 
 
terminating debt that had unfavorable terms by selling investments;
 
 
lowering our overhead expenses by eliminating operating redundancies following the integration of our fiscal 2009 acquisitions; and
 
 
reducing staff in conjunction with the reduced origination capabilities brought on by the recession and tight debt markets.

As asset managers for our investment partnerships, our goal is to preserve partnership capital and to achieve the best possible results for those investors.  In fiscal 2010, we took the following actions on behalf of those investment partnerships:
 
 
ceased raising new funds when it became apparent that the debt markets were not improving rapidly enough;
 
 
deferred expense reimbursement to us;
 
 
for fiscal 2010, we waived $3.8 million of our asset management fees for our sponsored leasing partnerships, and anticipate that we will continue to waive our fees in the future which, accordingly, will reduce our revenues.  We believe that, as a result, cash flow in these partnerships will improve significantly, which will help pay down loans and generate liquidity for investments in new leases;
 
 
negotiated with the partnerships’ lenders to keep them from foreclosing on partnership collateral; and
 
 
paid down existing debt and reduced exposure with lenders that had unfavorable terms in part by completing three securitizations in fiscal 2010 totaling $380 million.
 
        During fiscal 2010, our commercial finance assets under management decreased $483.0 million (35%) to $878.0 million as compared to $1.4 billion in fiscal 2009.  Originations of new equipment financing decreased by $285.3 million (71%) to $115.7 million in fiscal 2010 from $401.0 million in fiscal 2009.  Our originations have been and we expect they will continue to be impacted by the state of the credit markets and the reduced ability of our managed investment entities to obtain financing to acquire portfolios of leases and loans from us.

During fiscal 2010, we sold approximately $126.2 million of our portfolio of leases and loans to RCC.  In connection with the sale, the balance on the PNC Bank warehouse line of credit used to acquire these leases and loans was repaid and the line was terminated.  As a result, we expect that our commercial finance revenues will continue to decline due to the reduction in the size of the portfolio of leases and loans that we originate and hold on our balance sheet prior to selling them to our investment entities and to RCC.  The commercial finance assets we managed for our own account during fiscal 2010 decreased by $135.0 million to $12.0 million as compared to $147.0 million during fiscal 2009, reflecting the reduction in our warehouse borrowings and the sale of commercial finance assets to RCC and our investment entities.  The assets we managed for others during fiscal 2010 decreased by $348.0 million to $866.0 million from $1.2 billion at September 30, 2009 reflecting primarily the decrease in assets acquired by us and purchased by our investment entities due to the lack of available financing.

As of September 30, 2010, we managed approximately 82,000 leases and loans that had an average original finance value of $25,000 with an average term of 56 months as compared to approximately 100,000 leases and loans with an average original finance value of $25,000 and an average term of 52 months as of September 30, 2009.

In March 2009, two of the public equipment leasing partnerships we sponsored and manage formed a joint venture.  The joint venture subsequently acquired a portion of our interest in LEAF Commercial Finance Fund, LLC, or LCFF, an investment fund we formed to acquire and finance leases and loans we originate.  As a result of the transaction, LCFF became a VIE for which the joint venture was determined to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, we ceased to consolidate 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 the joint venture and removed from our financial statements.

For information on how we calculate assets under management, see Item 1, “Business − “Assets under Management.”

The revenues from our commercial finance operations historically have consisted primarily of finance revenues from leases and loans held by us prior to being sold, asset acquisition fees which we earn when commercial finance assets are sold to one of our investment partnerships and asset management fees we earn over the life of the leases or loans after sale to our investment partnerships.  We expect that our revenues will continue to decline until we are able to access financing on acceptable terms.  Failure to obtain replacement financing will continue to limit our ability to originate new leases and loans and further reduce operations.  The following table sets forth certain information relating to the revenues recognized and costs an d expenses incurred in our commercial finance operations (in thousands):

Revenues − Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

Revenues decreased $25.0 million (51%) from $23.7 million for fiscal 2010 as compared $48.8 million for fiscal 2009.  We attribute these decreases primarily to the following:
 
 
a $12.3 million decrease in commercial finance revenues during fiscal 2010.  The decreases were caused by the reduction in the size of the portfolio of commercial finance assets managed for our own account primarily due to the sale to RCC;
 
 
a $3.6 million decrease in asset acquisition fees during fiscal 2010.  The difficulty in obtaining and maintaining debt financing by the investment funds we manage has limited their ability to acquire equipment financings from us.  Consequently, we have reduced our commercial finance originations to match their asset acquisition capabilities;
 
 
a $8.2 million decrease in management fees during fiscal 2010.  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 for originating loans for those entities.  The decline in fund management fees during fiscal 2010 was caused primarily by a waiver of the fees we earn to manage the commercial finance assets, lower offering fees received as LEAF Equipment Finance Fund 4, our most recently sponsored investment entity, closed its offering in October 2009, and finally, due to the lower fees as a result of the previously discussed reduction in the portfolio of leases and loans held by our investment entities.
 
 
a $763,000 increase in equity losses during fiscal 2010, reflecting an increase in the provision for credit losses recorded by our investment entities.  The negative impact of the economic recession in the United States on the ability of our investment funds’ customers to make payments on their leases and loans, has accordingly, increased our exposure from non-performing assets; and


 
 
other income decreased $171,000 during fiscal 2010 principally due to the decrease in customer service charges.  These fees typically vary widely from period to period and are driven by the amount and seasoning of commercial finance assets held by us.

Costs and Expenses − Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

Costs and expenses from our commercial finance operations decreased by $7.0 million (28%) for fiscal 2010.  We attribute this decrease primarily to the following:
 
 
a $4.0 million reduction in wage and benefit costs during fiscal 2010.  In response to lower origination volume and assets under management, we have reduced payroll and other overhead costs and have continued to eliminate redundant positions.  In total, we have reduced the number of full-time employees in our commercial finance operations by 125 to 195 at September 30, 2010 from 320 at September 30, 2009; and
 
 
a reduction in other costs and expenses of $3.0 million during fiscal 2010.  The decrease reflects the reduction in costs, primarily legal, to service our smaller portfolio of assets, as well as our ongoing cost saving and consolidation efforts which targeted eliminating overhead redundancies and increasing operating efficiencies.

Revenues − Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

Revenues decreased $44.2 million (48%) to $48.8 million for fiscal 2009 from $93.0 million for fiscal 2008.  We attribute these decreases primarily to the following:
 
 
a $30.7 million decrease in commercial finance revenues.  In fiscal 2008, we held a significantly higher portfolio balance 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 in April 2008.  In addition, as of March 2009, we no longer consolidated LCFF, a $195.0 million portfolio.  As a result of the deconsolidation of LCFF, our finance revenues significantly decreased, offset in part by $1.1 million of management fees earned after deconsolidation.  For the period subsequent to the deconsolidation (March 2009 to September 2009), LCFF generated $8.8 million of revenues which, because LCFF was no longer consolidated with us, were not recorded in our consolidated statement of operations.  Similarly, we did not record LCFF’s costs and expenses which aggregated $6.9 million in addition to $5.5 million of interest expense;
 
 
a $13.5 million decrease in acquisition fees resulting from the $1.0 billion decrease in the amount of leases sold to our funds and RCC to $281.3 million.  This decrease reflects the portfolio acquisitions we sold to our investment entities in fiscal 2008.  Additionally, the difficulty in obtaining debt financing by our investment funds has limited 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;
 
 
an $858,000 increase in fund management fees.  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 for originating loans for those entities.  During fiscal 2009, management fees earned to service leases increased by $816,000 due to the growth in assets under management created by the $1.2 billion of lease originations in fiscal 2008.  These increases were offset, in part, by decreased offering fees of $136,000 related to the time between the closing of one investment fund and the opening of another investment fund.  In addition, during fiscal 2009, we waived $425,000 of fund management fees in one of our investment entities when we reduced that entity’s monthly cash distribution to its partners; and
 
 
a $78,000 decrease in other income, primarily due to reduction in late fees derived from commercial finance assets held by us.  These fees typically vary widely from period to period and are driven by the amount and seasoning of commercial finance assets held by us.  The large decrease in fiscal 2009 was due to the sale of the well-seasoned NetBank portfolio in fiscal 2008.

Costs and Expenses − Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008
 
        Costs and expenses from our commercial finance operations decreased by $17.6 million (41%) for fiscal 2009.  We attribute this decrease primarily to:
 
 
a $10.9 million reduction in wages and benefits.  Our costs have decreased due to several factors: (i) in fiscal 2008, we held significantly higher assets and accordingly, incurred higher servicing costs; (ii) for fiscal 2009, many of these costs were reimbursed by the investment entities to whom we have sold these assets; and (iii) in conjunction with converting the operations we acquired in fiscal 2008 onto the LEAF platform, we have reduced overhead costs by eliminating redundant positions.  Furthermore, in response to the ongoing recession and reduced originations, we have increased collection and customer service staff, while to a greater extent, we have decreased sales, credit and lease processing staff.  In total, we reduced the number of full-time employees in our commercial finance operations by 78 to 320 as of September 30, 2009 from 398 at September 30, 2008; and


 
 
a $6.7 million reduction in other costs and expenses.  This decrease is 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.  These efforts targeted eliminating overhead redundancies occurring through our acquisitions and taking advantage of efficiencies obtained by operating on a single platform.  In addition, fiscal 2008 included costs related to the portfolio acquisitions we made, which did not recur in fiscal 2009.


Results of Operations:  Financial Fund Management
 
        General.  We conduct our financial fund management operations principally through seven separate operating entities:
 
 
Apidos Capital Management, LLC, or Apidos, finances, structures and manages investments in bank loans, high yield bonds and equity investments;
 
 
Trapeza Capital Management, LLC, or TCM, a joint venture between us and an unrelated third-party, originates, structures, finances and manages investments in trust preferred securities and senior debt securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies through CDO issuers and related partnerships.  TCM, together with the Trapeza CDO issuers and Trapeza partnerships, are collectively referred to as Trapeza;
 
 
Resource Capital Markets, Inc., through our registered broker-dealer subsidiary, Chadwick Securities, Inc., or Chadwick, acts as an agent in the primary and secondary markets for trust preferred in the financial services and real estate sectors and manages accounts for institutional investors;
 
 
Resource Europe Management, Ltd., or Resource Europe, structures and manages investments in international bank loans;
 
 
Resource Financial Institutions Group, Inc., or RFIG, serves as the general partner for seven company-sponsored affiliated partnerships which invest in financial institutions;
 
 
Ischus Capital Management, LLC, or Ischus, finances, structures and manages investments in asset-backed securities, or ABS, including residential mortgage-backed securities, or RMBS, and commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS; and
 
 
Resource Capital Manager, Inc., or RCM, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, provides investment management and administrative services to RCC under a management agreement between us, RCM and RCC.

For information on how we calculate assets under management, see the table and related notes at the end of “Assets under Management,” as presented earlier in this section.



In our financial fund management operating 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, including incentive and subordinated fees.  These fees vary by CDO issuer, with our annual fees ranging between 0.10% and 0.60% of the aggregate principal balance of the eligible collateral owned by the CDO issuers.  CDO indentures require the maintenance of certain overcollateralization test ratios, or O/C ratios, which 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, which are discussed in the following sections, are deferred and interest collections from collateral are appl ied to outstanding principal note balances.
 
 
Management fees − we receive fees for managing the assets held by our company-sponsored partnerships and credit opportunities fund.  These fees vary by limited partnership, with our annual fee ranging between 0.75% and 2.00% of the partnership capital balance.

Based on the terms of our general partner interests, two of the Trapeza 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 Item 1A “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Particular Aspects of our Financial Fund Management, Real Estate and Commercial Finance Operations.”

Apidos

We sponsored, structured and/or currently manage 11 CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors and RCC which hold approximately $3.6 billion in bank loans at September 30, 2010, of which $953.6 million are managed on behalf of RCC through three CDO issuers.  We also sponsored, structured and currently manage one CDO issuer holding $411.1 million in international bank loans at September 30, 2010.

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 eligible 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 eligible 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 2010.  Incentive management fees are subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs.

Trapeza

We sponsored, structured and currently co-manage 13 CDO issuers holding approximately $4.2 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.  On November 1, 2009 and January 28, 2010, the general partners, owned equally by us and our co-managing partner, repurchased substantially all of the remaining limited partnership interests in two of the Trapeza entities.

We derive revenues from our Trapeza operations through base management fees.  Base management fees vary by CDO issuer, but range from between 0.10% and 0.25% of the aggregate principal balance of the eligible collateral held by the CDO issuers.  These fees are also shared with our co-sponsors.

Company-Sponsored Partnerships

We sponsored, structured and, through RFIG, currently manage seven affiliated partnerships for individual and institutional investors which hold approximately $56.6 million of investments in financial institutions.  We derive revenues from these operations through annual management fees, based on 2.0% of equity.  We also have invested as a general and limited partner in these partnerships.  We may receive a carried interest of up to 20% upon meeting specific investor return rates.


In March 2009, we sponsored, structured and currently manage an affiliated partnership organized as a credit opportunities fund which holds approximately $13.8 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.

Ischus
 
We sponsored, structured and currently manage seven CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors, which hold approximately $1.7 billion in primarily real estate ABS including RMBS, CMBS and credit default swaps.

We owned 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.  The SFF partnerships were dissolved as of March 31, 2010.  These partnerships previously owned a portion of the equity interests of three Trapeza CDO issuers and one of the Ischus CDO issuers.  This will not have a material effect on our future revenues.

We derive revenues from our Ischus operations through base management fees.  Base management fees vary by CDO issuer, ranging from between 0.10% and 0.20% of the aggregate principal balance of eligible collateral held by the CDO issuer.

Revenues − Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

Revenues decreased $204,000 (1%) to $33.1 million in fiscal 2010 from $33.3 million in fiscal 2009.  We attribute the decrease to the following:
 
 
a $1.5 million decrease in fund and RCC management fees, primarily from the following:
 
 
a $2.3 million decrease in collateral management fees from our Ischus operations primarily as a result of rating agency downgrades which had the effect of reducing the eligible collateral base upon which our management fees are calculated.  In addition, two of the CDO issuers managed by Ischus were liquidated during fiscal 2009;
 
 
a $552,000 net decrease in base, subordinated and incentive management fees from our Trapeza operations, primarily from the following:
 
 
a $292,000 decrease in base management fees as a result of portfolio defaults which reduced the eligible collateral base upon which our management fees are calculated;


 
 
a $648,000 increase in our share of expenses for TCM, including a $389,000 allowance against advances made to certain Trapeza partnerships and a $132,000 increase in legal fees.
 
These decreases were partially offset by:
 
 
a $277,000 increase in subordinated management fees.  During fiscal 2010 and 2009, we recorded subordinated management fees of $34,000 and ($243,000) on one and 11 CDO issuers, respectively.  The loss recorded during fiscal 2009 was primarily the result of the write-off of cumulative accrued fees on nine CDO issuers; and
 
 
a $57,000 increase in incentive management fees.  During fiscal 2009, we recorded a loss of $57,000 on two CDO issuers principally due to the write-off of cumulative accrued fees.  There was no write-off of fees in fiscal 2010.
 
 
a $259,000 decrease in collateral management fees from the European CDO issuer we manage due to the variance in foreign currency exchange rates.
 
These decreases were partially offset by:
 
 
a $809,000 increase in RCC management fees primarily due to an increase in incentive management fees and in RCC’s equity capital (upon which our base management fee is calculated) resulting primarily from RCC’s success in raising capital through common stock offerings;
 
 
a $484,000 increase in management and incentive fees earned on separate managed accounts.  No such fees were earned during fiscal 2009; and
 
 
a $308,000 increase in management fees for the credit opportunities fund primarily due to a $220,000 incentive fee we earned after exceeding certain investor hurdle returns;
 
 
a $2.5 million increase in introductory agent fees as a result of fees earned in connection with 103 trust preferred security transactions with an average fee of $75,000 for fiscal 2010 as compared to 91 transactions with an average fee of $57,000 for fiscal 2009;
 
 
a $508,000 net increase in earnings from nine unconsolidated CDO issuers we previously sponsored and manage.  In March 2010, we sold one of our CDO equity investments and in June 2010, we sold the majority of our interest in another CDO equity investment.  As of September 30, 2010, we have fully impaired four of these CDO investments and will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income;

As of September 30, 2010, we have fully impaired four of these CDO investments and will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income;
 
 
a $5.2 million decrease in interest income on loans, primarily as a result of the following:
 
 
a $6.0 million decrease in interest from Apidos CDO VI due to the sale of our interests in March 2009, at which time we ceased to consolidate that entity.  This decrease was partially offset by:
 
 
an $860,000 increase due to the recovery of excess interest spread earned on loan assets accumulating during the warehouse period of the European CDO issuer we sponsored and manage.  We do not expect to receive any additional income from this source in the future;
 
 
a $626,000 increase in other income, primarily related to the following:
 
 
an $800,000 break-up fee received in connection with an unsuccessful bank transaction to reimburse us for a significant portion of our costs.  We do not anticipate receiving such a fee in the future; partially offset by
 
 
a $158,000 decrease in earnings from SFF partnerships relating to four CDO investments which have been fully impaired.  As of December 31, 2009, the SFF partnerships assigned their interest in these investments to an affiliated third party.  The SFF partnerships were dissolved in March 2010;
 
 
Limited and general partner interests:
 
 
during fiscal 2010, we repurchased, along with the co-manager of the general partners, substantially all the remaining limited partner interests in two Trapeza partnerships which reduced our clawback liability and recorded a gain of $2.3 million.  During fiscal 2009, we had reduced our clawback liability and recorded a gain of $1.6 million; and
 
 
during fiscal 2010 and 2009, we recorded $229,000 and ($1.9 million), respectively, in realized and unrealized fair value adjustments in the book value of securities we hold in unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships.



Costs and Expenses − Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations increased $560,000 (3%) in fiscal 2010.  This increase was principally due to a $1.8 million increase in commission expense incurred in connection with certain trust preferred security transactions, a $1.2 million increase in legal and consulting expenses primarily relating to an unsuccessful bank transaction and a $197,000 increase in equity compensation expense due to an adjustment related to previously issued RCC restricted stock and options awarded to members of management.  These increases were partially offset by decreases in compensation ($2.0 million), financial software ($388,000) and rent expense ($287,000) as a result of a reduction in asset management and support personnel reflecting our efforts to realign costs with exi sting operations.

Revenues − Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

Revenues increased $5.8 million (21%) to $33.3 million in fiscal 2009 from $27.5 million in fiscal 2008.  We attribute the increase primarily to the following:
 
 
a $3.6 million decrease in fund and RCC management fees, primarily from the following:
 
 
 
a $3.8 million net decrease in collateral management fees from our Ischus operations primarily due to a reduction in subordinated management fees as a result of an increase in rating agency downgrades which reduced our collateral base and the liquidation of two of our CDO issuers during fiscal 2009;
 
 
a $1.3 million net decrease in senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from our Trapeza operations, primarily from the following:
 
 
a $2.6 million decrease in subordinated management fees.  During fiscal 2009 and 2008, we recorded subordinated management fees of ($242,000) and $2.3 million, respectively, on 11 CDO issuers.  The loss recorded during fiscal 2009 was primarily the result of the write-off of cumulative accrued subordinated management fees that we no longer expect to receive from nine CDO issuers; and
 
 
a $278,000 decrease in senior management fees as a result of portfolio defaults which reduced our collateral base.
 
These decreases were partially offset by:
 
 
an $851,000 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 $738,000 increase in incentive management fees.  During fiscal 2009, we wrote-off $57,000 in incentive management fees from two CDO issuers as compared to a write-off of $795,000 of similar fees from three CDO issuers during fiscal 2008.
 
 
 
a $481,000 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 $262,000 decrease in collateral management fees from the European CDO issuer we manage due to a decrease in the euro to dollar exchange rate.
 
These decreases were partially offset by:
 
 
a $1.4 million increase in collateral management fees resulting from a full year of fees on four bank loan CDO issuers whose management we assumed from an unaffiliated third-party asset manager in May 2008; and
 
 
a $940,000 increase in RCC management fees and equity compensation, reflecting a $440,000 increase in management fees and a $500,000 increase in equity compensation.
 
 
a $2.6 million increase in introductory agent fees as a result of fees earned in connection with 91 trust preferred security transactions with an average fee of $57,000 for fiscal 2009 as compared to 16 transactions with an average of $162,000 for fiscal 2008.
 
 
a $1.1 million net decrease in earnings from 12 unconsolidated CDO issuers we previously sponsored and manage.  Through fiscal 2009, we have fully impaired nine CDO investments.  The cost-recovery method will be used to realize any future income on these investments;
 
 
a $10.5 million decrease in interest income on loans held for investment, resulting primarily from the following:
 
 
a $3.2 million decrease in interest income from CDO issuers whose loan assets were held by us in warehouse facilities and consolidated in our financial statements for fiscal 2008, including one Apidos and one Resource Europe CDO issuer.  The weighted average loan balance was $49.3 million at a weighted average interest rate of 7.16%.  We had no outstanding warehouse facilities during fiscal 2009; and


 
 
a $7.3 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 fiscal 2009 and 2008 was $115.5 million and $221.0 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 4.38% and 5.81%, respectively.  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 $2.0 million decrease in other income, primarily as a result of following:
 
 
a $1.5 million decrease in the earnings of our SFF partnerships related to a decrease in earnings from four CDO investments which we have fully impaired.  We will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income on these investments; and
 
 
a $514,000 decrease in interest income we earned on the restricted cash balances of Apidos CDO VI.
 
 
Limited and general partner interests:
 
 
during fiscal 2009 and 2008, we recorded $1.6 million and ($23.2 million), respectively, in realized and unrealized fair value adjustments on Trapeza partnership securities and swap agreements and ($1.9 million) and ($287,000), respectively, in realized and unrealized fair value adjustments in the book value of securities we hold in unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships; and
 
 
during fiscal 2009 and 2008, we recorded ($4,000) and $3.2 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 ($64,000) and ($402,000), respectively, from our share of operating results of unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships.

Costs and Expenses − Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations decreased $7.3 million (26%) in fiscal 2009.  This decrease was principally due to our efforts to realign costs with existing operations and resulted in decreases in compensation ($6.1 million) and financial software expense ($581,000) primarily as a result of a reduction in asset management and support personnel.  In addition, we had decreases in professional fees of $1.6 million, related to a reduction in consulting fees for our European operations and an overall decrease in general legal expenses.  These decreases were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in commission expense incurred in connection with certain trust preferred security transactions.


Results of Operations:  Other Costs and Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses
 
        Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009.  General and administrative costs were $13.0 million in fiscal 2010, a decrease of $1.4 million (10%) as compared to $14.4 million in fiscal 2009.  Wages and benefits decreased by $1.2 million, principally reflecting a $1.1 million decrease in equity-based compensation expense.
 
        Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008.  General and administrative costs were $14.4 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $1.7 million (11%) as compared to $16.1 million in fiscal 2008, primarily reflecting a $1.5 million decrease in wages and benefits.

(Loss) Gain on the Sales of Leases and Loans

Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009.  During fiscal 2010, availability on our PNC warehouse facility for our commercial finance operations declined and the facility was terminated in May 2010.  Due to lack of other available financing, loans and leases were sold to third parties as well as to RCC at a loss of $8.1 million.

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008.  During fiscal 2008, we recognized a $3.9 million gain on the sale to the LEAF investment entities of a $412.5 million portfolio of leases and loans that we acquired from NetBank.



Provision for Credit Losses

The provisions for credit losses recorded in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 are reflective of the weakness in the United States economy and the write-offs and write-downs of assets affected by that weakness.  The following table reflects our provision for credit losses as reported by segment (in thousands):

   
Years Ended September 30,
 
   
2010

Real estate
    49       456       500  
    $ 5,209     $ 8,604     $ 10,627  

Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009.  The provision for credit losses decreased by $3.4 million in fiscal 2010 primarily due to the sale of Apidos VI and the continued decline in assets we held for LEAF during fiscal 2010. The $2.0 million decrease in our provision for credit losses in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008 was due to the significant write-offs and write-downs of assets which were affected by the weakness in the United States economy during fiscal 2008.

Specifically, our provision by operating segment was impacted by the following:
 
 
Commercial finance – The year over year provisions for credit losses in fiscal 2010 and 2009 decreased by $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, due primarily to the decrease in the assets we held.   During fiscal 2010, we sold a portfolio of commercial assets to RCC and in March 2009, we sold our interests in LCFF, which held a $195.0 million portfolio of leases and loans, inclusive of a $900,000 credit loss reserve.  In fiscal 2008, we had recorded a provision of $4.1 million on our Merit future credit card payment business, which had higher interest rate spreads and a greater risk of credit loss;
 
 
Financial fund management – The year over year provisions in fiscal 2010 and 2009 decreased by $1.7 million and $884,000, respectively, due primarily to the sale in March 2009 of our investment in Apidos CDO VI, a $240.0 million securitization of corporate loans, for which we had recorded a $1.7 million and $2.6 million provision for credit losses during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively; and
 
 
Real estate - While we continued to monetize our legacy loan portfolio to reduce our overall exposure, we determined that economic conditions continued to negatively impact one of the remaining loans in the portfolio.  Accordingly, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $456,000 and $500,000 during fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, which fully reserved that loan.

Depreciation and Amortization

Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $7.8 million in fiscal 2010, an increase of $920,000 (13%) as compared to $6.9 million in fiscal 2009.  The increase relates primarily to $1.4 million of additional depreciation expense on operating leases held.  While we decreased the total portfolio of leases and loans held by our commercial finance business, the average amount of the portfolio held as operating leases increased by $3.2 million in fiscal 2010.

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $6.9 million in fiscal 2009, an increase of $2.3 million (49%) as compared to $4.7 million in fiscal 2008.  The increase relates primarily to acquisitions made by our commercial finance operations during fiscal 2008, including increased depreciation on operating leases of $1.3 million and capital assets of $345,000 in addition to $247,000 of amortization of intangible assets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes the non-cash amortization of (a) debt issuance costs (and in some cases, the acceleration of those costs for facilities which were significantly amended or terminated prior to their stated maturity) and (b) the discount related to the value of warrants issued to investors who invested in our senior notes.  The following table reflects interest expense as reported by segment (in thousands):

Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009.  Interest expense incurred by our commercial finance operations decreased by $4.3 million for fiscal 2010, primarily reflecting a decrease in average borrowings of $122.6 million.  During fiscal 2010, our borrowing capacity on our PNC warehouse facility decreased and in May 2010, the line was fully repaid and terminated.  In March 2009, we sold a $195.0 million portfolio of leases, and thereby eliminated $187.6 million of debt.  The decrease in average borrowings was offset, in part, by a $1.6 million increase in amortization of deferred finance fees for the commercial finance facilities.

Corporate interest expense increased by $2.0 million for fiscal 2010, principally reflecting $3.8 million of interest expense related to the 12% Senior Notes issued in September and October 2009, of which $1.5 million was amortization of the debt discount related to the cost of the warrants issued with the notes.  This increase was offset, in part, by a $24.6 million decrease in fiscal 2010 average borrowings under our corporate secured credit facilities resulting in a $1.7 million decrease in interest expense.

The sale of our equity interest and resulting deconsolidation of Apidos CDO VI in March 2009 removed its senior notes from our balance sheet.  Accordingly, there was no interest expense for our financial fund management operations for fiscal 2010 as compared to $5.0 million of interest expense for fiscal 2009.

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008.  Interest expense decreased by $27.1 million (57%) for fiscal 2009.  The decrease primarily reflects the $362.7 million decrease in borrowings by all of our operating segments.

Commercial finance interest expense decreased by $16.9 million due to a $222.4 million decrease in average borrowings in combination with lower interest rates.  In March 2009, we sold LCFF thereby eliminating $187.6 million of debt.

Interest expense incurred by our financial fund management operations decreased by $9.5 million for fiscal 2009.  As a result of the sale of Apidos CDO VI, there was no interest expense on the $218.0 million of its senior notes for the last six months of fiscal 2009.

Corporate interest expense decreased by $324,000 due to reduced average borrowings of $14.0 million, reflecting the paydown of borrowings on our TD Bank facility with proceeds from the senior notes offering, offset in part, by an increase in the interest rate on borrowings.



Net Other-than-Temporary 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 have incurred other-than-temporary impairment charges with respect to CDO securities.   These charges have significantly decreased to $480,000 in fiscal 2010, from $8.5 million and $14.5 million for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.  During fiscal 2010, we recorded a $183,000 charge related to bank loans ($166,000 for European loans) and a $297,000 charge related to CDO investments in the securities of financial institutions.  The fiscal 2009 charges were primarily with investments in bank loans ($5.2 million, of which $2.3 milli on related to European loans) and financial institutions ($3.2 million).  The charges for fiscal 2008 were primarily in CDOs with investments in financial institutions ($8.9 million) and real estate asset-backed securities, including RMBS and CMBS ($5.5 million).  Additionally, in fiscal 2010, we recorded a $329,000 other-than-temporary impairment loss on our investment in TBBK stock held in a retirement account for a former executive as management intends to sell the securities during fiscal 2011.  In fiscal 2009, we recorded a $73,000 other-than-temporary impairment loss on our TBBK stock held for investment purposes as management no longer had the intention to hold the security until we could recover our cost basis.

Loss on Sale of Loans and Investment Securities, Net

In June 2010, we received proceeds of $1.2 million from the sale of our equity investment in Apidos CDO II and recognized a loss on the sale of $27,000.  Earlier, in March 2010, we received $1.5 million in proceeds from the sale of our equity investment in Apidos CDO V and realized a loss of $424,000.

During fiscal 2009, in conjunction with the deconsolidation and sale of our interest in Apidos CDO VI, we received proceeds of $7.2 million and recognized a loss of $11.6 million ($7.2 million, net of tax).  During fiscal 2008, we incurred a $17.7 million loss from the termination of two secured CDO warehouse facilities for which we provided limited guarantees.

Income Taxes

Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009.  Our effective income tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations, before taxes) was 13% for fiscal 2010 as compared to 40% for fiscal 2009.  The decrease in the income tax benefit and accordingly, the tax rate, relates primarily to an increase in the valuation allowance on state benefits not able to be utilized for fiscal 2010 and the write-off of unrealizable deferred tax assets.  Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded an adjustment to reconcile the deferred taxes in the amount of $1.6 million of which, $892,000 related to prior years.  Our effective income tax rate, as adjusted to exclude adjustments primarily related to discrete items, would have been 46% for fiscal 2010.

We expect our effective tax rate to be between 34% and 40% for fiscal 2011.  Our effective income tax 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.  Certain of these and other factors, including our history of pre-tax earnings, are taken into account 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 by the taxing authorities in other states in which we have significant business operations, such as Pennsylvania and New York.  We are currently undergoing an IRS examination for fiscal year 2008.  We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2007 and are no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2005.

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008.  Our effective income tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations, before taxes) was 40% for fiscal 2009 as compared to 33% for fiscal 2008.  The increase in the rate primarily relates to the greater impact of permanent items relative to the pre-tax loss for fiscal 2009.  Our effective income tax rate excluding adjustments for discrete items would have been 36% for fiscal 2009.



Discontinued Operations

Our decision to dispose of certain entities has resulted in the presentation of these operations as discontinued.  Income (losses) from discontinued operations for fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 primarily reflect a reversal of $626,000 and charges of $433,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, of interest and penalty assessments related to the 2004 and 2005 IRS tax examinations.  In addition, in fiscal 2008 we closed an operating subsidiary within the commercial finance operating segment and have reflected its results as discontinued.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As an asset management company, our liquidity needs consist principally of capital needed to make investments and to pay our operating expenses (primarily wages and benefits and interest expense).  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, the availability of any such financing will depend on market conditions which, as we discuss in “- Overview”, continues to be subject to substantial volatility and reduced availability.  We also may seek to obtain liquidity through the disposition of non-strategic investments, including our legacy portfolio.

In general, if we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on acceptable terms, or raise investor funds (which may depend, in part, on our ability to obtain financing for the investment entities we sponsor), we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments other than non-strategic investments to generate liquidity.  Any sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such investments, which could result in losses and reduced income. Moreover, even if we are able to renew or replace our facilities, the interest rate we are able to obtain, and the other costs of those facilities, may be materially higher than those previously ava ilable to us, which could reduce our net revenues and earnings.  Also, if we cannot expand our overall financing capacity under those facilities or add new facilities, or if we are unable to raise other funds, including third-party investments in our investment funds, our ability to expand the amount of assets we own or which are under management will be limited, and our ability to increase net revenues and earnings will be impaired.

At September 30, 2010, our liquidity consisted of two primary sources:
 
 
cash on hand of $11.2 million; and
 
 
cash generated from operations, including asset and property management fees as well as payments received on leases and loans, sales of equipment and the continued resolution of our real estate legacy portfolio.

In October 2009, we completed our private placement offering of three-year 12% Senior Notes and generated $18.8 million in cash.  We used a portion of the offering proceeds to pay down our corporate line of credit borrowings under the TD Bank facility.  In November 2009, we amended the TD Bank facility to provide additional flexibility and reduce our debt costs.  In particular, the amendment lowered the minimum interest rate on borrowings, reinstated the LIBOR rate option on borrowings, lowered the required monthly principal paydowns from $850,000 to $150,000, and extended the facility term to October 2011.  We anticipate that we will be able to extend this facility.  In the event we are unable to extend this facility , we will seek alternative financing. Upon the maturity of the Sovereign Bank revolving line of credit on February 28, 2010, we repaid the remaining balance and the facility was terminated.



At September 30, 2010, borrowings outstanding of $66.1 million included $20.8 bridge financing for commercial finance, $14.1 million of corporate revolving debt, $14.3 million of Senior Notes (net of a discount), and $16.9 million of other debt, of which $13.5 million is in mortgage debt secured by the underlying properties.  Borrowings outstanding decreased $125.3 million (65%) from $191.4 million at September 30, 2009.  The decrease primarily reflects the $136.5 million reduction in LEAF’s borrowings on the PNC warehouse facility, offset in part by $20.8 million in bridge financing. The tight credit market continues to limit the ability of LEAF and its investment entities to obtain debt financing and, as such, reduces its opportunitie s to grow our commercial finance business.  In May 2010, the $99.4 million of outstanding borrowings with PNC Bank were repaid and the warehouse facility was closed.  In September 2010, LEAF obtained a $21.5 million six-month bridge loan to purchase leases and loans.  The facility matures on February 20, 2011.  Until we are able to secure long term financing, LEAF expects that it will continue to monitor and scale back its commercial finance business to accommodate the current lack of availability of debt financing to it and its investment entities, including, if necessary, the sale of portfolio assets.  Failure to obtain replacement financing will continue to limit our ability to originate new leases and loans and further reduce operations.  In any such event, our commercial finance business could incur losses which could be significant.
 
        In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010, we sold approximately $116.0 million of leases and loans to RCC.  In connection with these sales, we are obligated to repurchase or provide replacement leases and loans for up to a maximum of approximately $5.9 million of delinquent assets.

Furthermore, we may defer or discount our fees from our investment entities based upon current economic conditions.  In certain circumstances, we may also waive all or part of these fees based upon required priority distributions to our investors.  Based on changes in the projected cash distributions to be made to the limited partners of one of our managed partnerships, we determined that we will not be able to collect our management fees for the LEAF investment entities for fiscal 2010 and, accordingly, recorded a provision of $1.1 million.

Our legacy real estate portfolio at September 30, 2010 consisted of six property interests and two loans.  In January and June 2010, we received proceeds of $811,000 and $4.6 million, respectively, from the settlement of two legacy loans.  Because of current economic conditions, the amount of cash we may be able to derive from resolution of our remaining legacy portfolio and other non-strategic investments in the future may be limited; in any event, the amount of cash we may derive from them is subject to significant variations.  Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our remaining legacy portfolio will be a source of significant ongoing cash generation.

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, the amount of capital we require 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.

Dividends

For fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, we paid cash dividends of $1.6 million, $3.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively.  We have paid quarterly cash dividends since August 1995.

Our 12% senior notes limit the amount of future cash dividends to $0.03 per share unless our basic earnings per common share from continuing operations from the preceding fiscal quarter exceeds $0.25 per share.  Subject to the limitations imposed by our 12% senior notes, the determination of the amount of future cash dividends, if any, is at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on the various factors affecting our financial condition and other matters the board of directors deems relevant.

Broker-Dealer Capital Requirement. Chadwick Securities, Inc., a subsidiary of ours, is a registered broker-dealer and serves as a dealer-manager for the sale of securities of direct participation investment programs, both public and private, sponsored by our subsidiaries 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 us and for RCC.  As a broker-dealer, Chadwick is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined in regula tions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which was $116,000 and $121,000 as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, Chadwick’s net capital was $393,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $277,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.

Clawback Liability. Two financial fund management investment entities that have incentive distributions, also known as carried interests, are subject to a potential clawback to the extent that such distributions exceed the cumulative net profits of the entities, as defined in the respective partnership agreements.  On November 1, 2009 and January 28, 2010, we, along with the co-manager of the general partner of those investment entities, repurchased substantially all the remaining limited partnership interests in these two partnerships and accordingly reduced our clawback liability to $1.2 million at September 30, 2010.

Reserve for lease and loan repurchase commitment. In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010, we sold a portfolio of leases and loans to RCC in which RCC has the option to return, and we have the obligation to repurchase, up to a maximum of approximately $5.9 million in delinquent leases and loans as specified in the sale agreement.  In conjunction with this option, we recorded a $3.0 million estimated liability based on historical default rates.

Legal Proceedings. In August 2009, Riverside National Bank of Florida, or Riverside, initiated a lawsuit now captioned Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation v. The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. et al., United States District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 10 Civ. 4421, against several investment banks, rating agencies, and collateral managers of CDOs, including Trapeza Capital Management, LLC, or TCM.  We own a 50% interest in TCM, and an unaffiliated third-party owns the other 50% interest.



The complaint seeks monetary damages in an unspecified amount against TCM arising out of Riverside’s investment in certain CDOs between 2005 and 2007.  Riverside’s claims against TCM stem from its role as collateral manager for various Trapeza CDOs, which were sold by various investment banks.  The complaint alleges that the offering materials for the CDOs were prepared in part by TCM and were false and misleading.  The complaint further alleges that TCM breached fiduciary and contractual obligations by failing to properly monitor the collateral for the CDOs, failing to mitigate losses and failing to disclose known quality and performance problems with the underlying collateral.  TCM believes that none of the claims have merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

Real Estate Commitments.  In connection with the sale of a real estate loan in March 2006, we agreed that in exchange for the current property owner relinquishing certain control rights, we would make payments to the current property owner under stipulated circumstances, including the sale or foreclosure of the property or a subsequent resale of the loan.  A payment of $2.6 million, increasing $16,234 per month to a maximum of $3.6 million, would be due upon the occurrence of specified events.  In addition, the current property owner has the right to receive collateral as security for this obligation equal to or greater than 105% of the value of the obligat ion upon the occurrence of certain specified events or if our net worth falls below $80.0 million.  Our obligation runs through December 31, 2014.  In addition, we agreed to partially indemnify the purchaser of the loan for a portion of the difference between ordinary income tax rates and capital gain rates on accrued interest on the note between the date of sale of the loan in March 2006 and December 31, 2011.  To date, we have not been required to make any payments resulting from these agreements.

We are also committed to invest 1% of the equity raised by RRE Opportunity REIT to a maximum amount of $2.5 million.

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.

As of September 30, 2010, except for the clawback liability recorded for the two Trapeza entities, the reserve for lease and loan repurchase commitment and executive compensation, we do not believe it is probable that any payments will be required under any of our commitments and contingencies, and accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
        The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We make estimates of our allowance for credit losses, the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, discounts and collectability of management fees, the valuation of stock-based compensation, servic ing liability and repurchase obligation, allowance for lease and loan losses, and in determining whether a decrease in the fair value of an investment is an other-than-temporary impairment.  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 our investments in securities available-for-sale and in estimating the liability, if any, for clawback provisions on certain of our partnership interests.  We used assumptions, specifically inputs to the Black-Scholes pricing model and the discounted cash flow model, in computing the fair value of the 12% senior notes and warrants.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe rea sonable 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.

We have identified the following policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Employee Stock Options. We expense employee option grants over the respective vesting periods, based on the estimated fair value of the award as determined on the date of grant.

Restricted Common Stock.  We value the restricted stock we issue based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant and amortize this cost to compensation expense over the respective vesting period.


Loans

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 fina ncial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

An impaired real estate loan may remain on accrual status during the period in which we are pursuing repayment of the loan; however, the loan is placed on non-accrual status at such time as either (i) management believes that contractual debt service payments will not be met; (ii) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; and (iii) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment.  While on non-accrual status, we recognize interest income only when an actual payment is received.  Loans are charged-off after being on non-accrual for a period of one year.

We maintain an allowance for real estate loans at a level deemed sufficient to absorb probable losses.  We consider general and local economic conditions, the financial condition of our borrowers and, with respect to properties underlying our loans, neighborhood values, competitive overbuilding, and casualty losses as well as 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.  We review all credits on a quarterly basis, continually monitor collections and payments from our borrowers and maintain an allowance for credit losses based upon our historical experience and our knowledge of specific borrower collection issues.  We reduce our investments in real estate loans and real estate by an allowance for amounts that may become unrealizable in the future.

Investments in Commercial Finance

Our investments in commercial finance consist primarily of loans, direct financing leases and operating leases.  We reflected those investments that we are holding for sale to our investment entities 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 our 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.  Our 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 o f 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.  We discontinue recognizing revenue for leases and loans for which payments are more than 90 days past due.  Fees from delinquent payments are recognized when received.

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.  We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis.

During the lease term of existing operating leases, we may not recover all of the cost and related expenses of our rental equipment and, therefore, we are prepared to remarket the equipment in future years.  Our policy is to review, on at least a quarterly basis, the expected economic life of our rental equipment in order to determine the recoverability of our undepreciated cost.  We write down our rental equipment to estimated net realizable value when it is probable that our 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 fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008.



Future payment card receivables. Additionally, we have provided capital advances to small businesses based on future credit card receipts.  The future payment card receivables in the portfolio have risk characteristics that are different than those in other portfolios we originated.  In fiscal 2009, the entire portfolio of future payment card receivables was put on the cost recovery method of accounting whereby no income is recognized until the basis of the future payment card receivable has been fully recovered.

Allowance for credit losses.  We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses in commercial finance (including investments in leases and 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, we perform a migration analysis, which estimates the likelihood that an acc ount progresses through delinquency stages to ultimate write-off.  We fully reserve, net of recoveries, all leases and loans after they are 180 days past due.

Additionally, we review the collectability of our receivables from managed entities.  We have estimated that based on current projections, one of the commercial finance funds will not have sufficient funds to pay a portion of its accrued management fees to us as of September 30, 2010.  Accordingly, we recorded a provision of $1.1 million in fiscal 2010 with a corresponding reduction to the receivables from managed entities.

Investments in commercial finance assets - held for sale.  Commercial finance assets, which we do 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.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities available-for-sale, including our investments in CDO issuers we sponsor, which are owned directly 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.  Our investments in affiliates, including holdings in TBBK and RCC, are valued at the closing price of the respective stock.  The fair value of the cumulative net unrealized gains and losses on these investment securities, net of tax, are reported through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Realized gains and losses on the sale of inv estments are determined on the basis of specific identification and are included in results of operations.

We recognize a realized loss when it is probable there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows of the security holder from what had been previously estimated.  The security is then written down to fair value, and the unrealized loss is transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the consolidated statements of operations as a reduction of current earnings.  The cost basis adjustment for other-than-temporary impairment would be recoverable only upon the sale or maturity of the security.
 
        Periodically, we review the carrying value of our available-for-sale securities.  If we deem an unrealized loss to be other-than-temporary, we will record an impairment charge.  Our process for identifying declines in the fair value of investments that are other-than-temporary involves consideration of several factors.  These factors include (i) the duration of a significant decline in value, (ii) the liquidity, business prospects and overall financial condition of the issuer, (iii) the magnitude of the decline, (iv) the collateral structure and other credit support, as applicable, and (v) our more-than-likely intention to hold the investment until the value recovers.  When the analysis of the above factors results in a conclusion that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost of the investment is written down to fair value.
 
        Our trading securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings and reported in other income, net.  We value these securities using quoted market prices.
 
        We recognize dividend income on securities classified as available-for-sale on the ex-dividend date.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.



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 effects of tax rate changes on deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, as well as other changes in income tax laws, are recognized in net earnings in the period during which such changes are enacted.  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.  We continually evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating re sults, 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 we determine that it is more likely than not that we will ultimately realize the tax benefit associated with a deferred tax asset.
 
Servicing and Repurchase Liabilities

We routinely sell our investments in commercial finance assets held for sale to our affiliated leasing partnerships and RCC, as well as to third parties. Leases and loans are accounted for as sold when control of the lease is surrendered.  Control over the leases is deemed surrendered when (1) the leases have been transferred to the leasing partnership, RCC 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) we do not maintain effective control over the leases through either (a) an agreement that entitles and obligates us to repurchase or redeem the leases before maturity, or (b) the ability to unilaterally cause the buyer to return spe cific leases.  Subsequent to these sales, we typically remain as the servicer for the leases and loans sold for which we generally receive a servicing fee of approximately 1% of the book value of the serviced portfolio.  The assets and liabilities associated with the respective servicing agreements are typically not material and are offsetting and; accordingly, are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

During fiscal 2010, however, we sold a portfolio of leases and loans to RCC with servicing retained for which we will not be receiving any servicing fees.  Accordingly, we recorded a $2.5 million liability for the present value of the estimated cost to service the portfolio.  Additionally, RCC has the option to return, and we have the obligation to repurchase, up to a maximum of approximately $5.9 million in delinquent leases and loans as specified in the sale agreement.  In conjunction with this option, we recorded a $3.0 million estimated liability based on historical default rates.

Goodwill and 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.  Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level using a two-step process.  The first step is a screen for potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to our 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 the fair value is less than the carrying value, step two is completed to measure the amount of impairment, i f any.  In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying amount.  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.  An impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

We utilize several approaches, including discounted expected cash flows, market approach and comparable sales transactions to estimate the fair value of our reporting unit for our impairment review of goodwill.  These approaches require assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which are based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions.

Our commercial finance operating segment has goodwill of $8.0 million, which is tested annually on May 31st for impairment.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the commercial finance operations incurred significant losses, inclusive of the write-off of the customer related intangible asset (as discussed below) and the waiver of management fees from its investment entities.  Accordingly, we determined that a triggering event had occurred and performed, as of September 30, 2010, an interim assessment of goodwill for impairment at the commercial finance reporting unit.  Based on a third-party valuation as of May 31, 2010 as well as test results that were internally generated as of September 30, 2010 as a result of the triggering event in the fourth quarter, we concluded that there has been no impairment of our goodwill.


Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

We acquired customer relationships with third-party originators, classified as a customer related intangible asset.  The value of the intangible asset consisted of the estimated excess of future cash inflows over the related cash outflows generated by the acquired customer base and relationships with third-party originators.  We had been amortizing the intangible asset over the expected useful life of the asset and continually monitored events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of the intangible asset may not be recoverable.  Due to the elimination of the management fees from the LEAF investment partnerships, there is no future expected benefit to be derived from the intangible asset.  Therefore, the customer list became entirely impaired and, accordingly, we recorded an impairment loss for the entire carrying balance of $2.8 million as of September 30, 2010.

Recent Accounting Standards

Accounting Standard Issued But Not Yet Effective

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, has issued the following accounting standards which are not yet effective for us as of September 30, 2010:

Transfers of financial assets - In June 2009, the FASB amended prior guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets.  The new pronouncement changes the derecognition guidance for the transferors of financial assets, eliminates the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose entities and requires additional disclosures about all transfers of financial assets.  This guidance will be effective for us in fiscal 2011.  We do not anticipate that this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses - In July 2010, the FASB issued guidance that will require companies to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements including, but not limited to, significant purchases and sales of financing receivables, aging information and credit quality indicators. We will provide the required disclosure in our first fiscal quarter of 2011.
 
Variable Interest Entities (or VIEs) - In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to revise the approach to determine when a VIE should be consolidated.  The new consolidation model for VIEs considers whether we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and shares in the significant risks and rewards of the entity.  The guidance on VIEs requires companies to continually reassess VIEs to determine if consolidation is appropriate and to provide additional disclosures.  This guidance will be effective for us in fiscal 2011.  We have determined that this guidance will not have a significant effect on our consolida ted financial statements and will make the necessary VIE disclosures.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

We adopted the following accounting standards during fiscal 2010:

Subsequent Events.  In February 2010, the FASB issued guidance which removes the requirement to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective upon issuance.

Fair Value Measurements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.  The new pronouncement requires a reporting entity: (1) to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and (2) to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. In addition, it clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures: (1) disclosures regard ing the need to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities, and (2) disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.  The new guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which will be effective for us in fiscal 2011.

Our adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Participating Securities.  In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance which requires nonvested equity awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, or participating securities, to be included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  We have, accordingly, adjusted all historical earnings per share data presented.

Noncontrolling Interests.  In December 2007, the FASB established accounting and reporting guidance for a noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary which requires that the noncontrolling interest be reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and that net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders be presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations.  We adopted the provisions of this guidance at the beginning of fiscal 2010, by reclassifying noncontrolling interests as a separate component of equity and recording losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests even when the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest has been reduced to zero. Reference is made to Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report.



Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to various market risks from changes in interest rates.  Fluctuations in interest rates can impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.  We manage this risk through regular operating and financing activities.  We have not entered into any market sensitive instruments for trading purposes.  The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.  The range of changes presented reflects our view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period and provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.

The following analyzes the potential impact of a hypothetical change in interest rates as of September 30, 2010.  Our analysis does not consider other possible effects that could impact our business.

Corporate

At September 30, 2010, we have a secured revolving credit facility which is for general business use.  Weighted average borrowings on this facility were $17.8 million for fiscal 2010 at an effective interest rate of 10.7%.  A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate on this facility would change our annual interest expense by $134,000.

Our $18.8 million of 12% senior notes are at fixed rates of interest and, therefore, are not subject to fluctuation.

Commercial finance

We hold commercial finance assets which are comprised of loans and leases at fixed rates of interest.  To finance these assets, we obtained a $21.5 million short-term bridge facility at a fixed rate of interest.  We are seeking a new longer- term facility in which the rate may differ from our current facility.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We have not entered into any forward exchange contracts to hedge our foreign currency rate risk because we do not believe our foreign exchange exposure is material.

Stockholders and Board of Directors
RESOURCE AMERICA, INC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Resource America, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2010.  Our audits of the basic financial statements include the financial schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(2).  These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Resource America, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Resource America, Inc. and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated December 13, 2010, expressed an adverse opinion on internal control over financial reporting as a result of the material weakness described in that report.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

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.  Generally, the Company consolidates VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or 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.

Variable interests in the Company’s real estate segment primarily relate to subordinated financings in the form of mezzanine loans or unconsolidated real estate interests.  As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had one and two such interests for which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  Accordingly, these entities were included in the consolidated financial statements.

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

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.  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”).  LCFF was a single member limited liability company that owned a portfolio of $195.0 million of leases and loans and had a $250.0 million line of credit with Morgan Stanley Bank (“Morgan Stanley”).  It was formed as a vehicle to hold leases pending their sale to LEAF’s investment funds.  As of February 28, 2009, LEAF was the sole member and the managing member of LCFF and, accordingly, consolidated LCFF.  In March 2009, to effectuate the sale of the LCFF portfolio to its investment funds, LEAF created a second class of membership units, Class B units, re-designated its original interest as Class A units, and sold the Class A units to a limited liability company jointly owned by two of its investment funds for approximately $2.5 million in cash.  The Class A units have a preferred equity interest, which the Company concluded transferred the entire economic interest in LCFF to the jointly owned limited liability company.  The Company determined that LCFF was a VIE for which the primary beneficiary was the limited liability company and, accordingly, no longer consolidates LCFF with the Company’s financial statements.  Because the sale was at book value, the Company recognized no gain or loss as a result of the transaction.  LEAF continues to be the servicer of the LCFF leases. 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 removed from the consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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, the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, discounts and collectability of management fees, the valuation of stock-based compensation, servicing liability and repurchase obligation, allowance for le ase and loan losses, and in determining whether a decrease in the fair value of an investment is an other-than-temporary impairment.  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 and in estimating the liability, if any, for clawback provisions on certain of its partnership interests.  The Company used assumptions, specifically inputs to the Black-Scholes pricing model and the discounted cash flow model, in computing the fair value of the 12% senior notes and warrants that it issued and sold in September and October 2009.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company accounts for the investments it has in the real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management investment entities it has sponsored and manages under the equity method of accounting since the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of these entities.  To the extent that there is a negative balance in the investment for any of these entities, these balances are reclassified to reduce the receivable from such entities.

Real estate. The Company has sponsored and manages eight real estate limited partnerships, five limited liability companies, a corporation operating as a REIT and seven tenant in common (“TIC”) property interest programs that invest in multifamily residential properties.  The Company’s combined interests in these investment entities range from approximately 2% to 10%.

Commercial finance.  The Company has interests in four company-sponsored commercial finance investment partnerships.  The Company’s combined general and limited partner interests in these partnerships range from approximately 1% to 6%.

Financial fund management.  The Company has general and limited partnership interests in seven company-sponsored and managed partnerships that invest in regional banks.  The Company’s combined general and limited partnership interests in these partnerships range from 5% to 11%.  The Company also manages and has a combined 6% general and limited partnership interest in an affiliated partnership organized as a credit opportunities fund that invests in bank loans and high yield bonds.

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 September 30, 2010, the Company had $12.4 million (excluding restricted cash) in deposits at various banks, of which $8.9 million was over the temporary insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) of $250,000.  No losses have been experienced on such investments.

In addition, the Company’s receivables from managed entities are comprised of unsecured amounts due from its investment entities and other affiliated entities which the Company has sponsored and manages.  The Company evaluates the collectability of these receivables and records a an allowance to the extent any portion of that receivable is determined to be uncollectible.  Additionally, the Company records a discount where it determines that any of the entities will be unable to repay the Company in the near term.  In the event that any of these entities fail, the corresponding receivable balance would be at risk.

Restricted Cash
 
        Restricted cash at September 30, 2010 of $12.0 million primarily included $10.1 million of proceeds from the $21.5 million commercial finance bridge loan held for the purchase of leases and loans and $1.4 million held in escrow for a real estate property investment.  The restricted cash balance of $2.7 million at September 30, 2009 primarily reflected payments made by LEAF customers to a lockbox which were being processed by the bank as well $1.2 million held in escrow for a real estate property investment.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses of the Company’s European operations are recognized in the determination of net income.  Foreign currency translation adjustments related to these foreign operations are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency translation adjustments was a net loss of $368,000 and a gain of $16,000 as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Revenue Recognition – Fee Income

RCC management fees.  The Company earns a base management and incentive management fee for managing RCC.  In addition, the Company is reimbursed for its expenses incurred on behalf of RCC and its operations.  Management fees and reimbursed expenses are recognized monthly when earned.

The quarterly incentive compensation to the Company is payable seventy-five percent (75%) in cash and twenty-five percent (25%) in restricted shares of RCC common stock.  The Company may elect to receive more than 25% of its incentive compensation in RCC restricted stock.  However, the Company’s ownership percentage in RCC, direct and indirect, cannot exceed 15%.  All shares are fully vested upon issuance, provided that the Company may not sell such shares for one year after the incentive compensation becomes due and payable.  The restricted stock is valued at the average of the closing prices of RCC common stock over the thirty-day period ending three days prior to the issuance of such shares.

In fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the management, incentive, servicing and acquisition fees that the Company received from RCC were 12%, 8% and 5%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues.  These fees have been allocated and, accordingly, reported as revenues by each of the Company’s operating segments.
 
        Real estate fees.  The Company records acquisition fees of 1% to 2% of the net purchase price of properties acquired by real estate investment entities it sponsors and financing fees equal to 0.5% to 5.0% of the debt obtained or assumed related to the properties acquired.  The Company recognizes these fees when its sponsored entities acquire the properties and obtain the related financing.  In conjunction with the TIC properties acquired in fiscal 2008, the Company had also recorded bridge equity fees.

The Company records a monthly property management fee equal to 4.5% to 5% of the gross operating revenues from the underlying properties and a monthly debt management fee equal to 0.167% (2% per year) of the gross offering proceeds deployed in debt investments.  The Company recognizes these fees monthly when earned.

Additionally, the Company records an annual investment management fee from its limited partnerships equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds of each partnership for its services.  The Company records an annual asset management fee from its TIC programs equal to 1% to 2% of the gross revenues from the property in connection with its performance of its asset management responsibilities.  The Company records an annual asset management fee from one limited liability company equal to 1.5% of the gross revenues of the underlying properties.  These investment management fees and asset management fees are recognized monthly when earned and are discounted to the extent that these fees are deferred.

The Company records quarterly asset management fees from its joint ventures with an institutional partner equal to 1% of the gross funds invested in distressed real estate loans and assets.  The Company recognizes these fees monthly.

Revenue Recognition – Fee Income – (Continued)

Commercial finance fees.  The Company records acquisition fees from its leasing investment entities (based on a percentage of the cost of the leased equipment acquired) as compensation for expenses incurred by the Company related to the lease acquisition.  Acquisition fees, which range from 1% to 2%, are earned at the time of the sale of the related leased equipment to the investment entities.  The Company also records management fees from its investment entities for managing and servicing the leased assets acquired when the service is performed.  The payment of such fees to the Company by each entity is contingent upon the partners receiving their specified annual distri butions by each entity. During fiscal 2010, the Company waived $3.8 million of management fees from four of its investment entities since the actual distributions to the partners were less than the annual specified amounts.  The ability of these entities to pay future management fees is uncertain, a discount is recorded where payment will not be received timely and an allowance is recorded where payment is determined to be uncollectible.  However, the Company is paid for the operating and administrative expenses it incurs to manage these entities.

Financial fund management fees.  The Company earns monthly investment and management fees on assets held in CDOs on behalf of institutional and individual investors.  These fees, which vary by CDO, range between 0.10% and 0.60% of the aggregate principal balance of eligible collateral held by the CDO issuers.  These investment management fees and asset management fees are recognized monthly when earned and are discounted to the extent that these fees are deferred.  Additionally, the Company records fees for managing the assets held by the partnerships it has sponsored and for managing their general operations.  These fees, which vary by limited partnership, rang e between 0.75% and 2.00% of the partnership capital balance.

The Company also enters into management or advisory agreements for managing the assets held by third-parties.  These fees, which vary by agreement, are recognized monthly when earned.
 
Introductory agent fees.  The Company earns fees for acting as an introducing agent for transactions involving sales of securities of financial services companies, REITs and insurance companies.  The Company recognizes these fees monthly when earned.

Stock-Based Compensation

Employee stock options.  The Company expenses the employee stock options it grants over the respective vesting periods, based on the estimated fair value of the award as determined on the date of grant.

Restricted common stock.  The Company values the restricted stock it issues based on the closing price of its stock on the date of grant and amortizes this cost to compensation expense over the respective vesting period less an estimate for forfeitures.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

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

Receivables from Managed Entities

The Company reviews the collectability of its receivables from managed entities.  The Company has estimated that based on current projections, one of the commercial finance funds will not have sufficient funds to pay a portion of its accrued management fees to the Company as of September 30, 2010.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a provision of $1.1 million in fiscal 2010 with a corresponding reduction to the receivables from managed entities.

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

Loans

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 (i) management believes that contractual debt service payments will not be met; or (ii) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; and (iii) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment.  While on non-accrual status, the Company recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received.  Loans are charged off after being on non-accrual for a period of one year.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses 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 revi ews all credits 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.

Investments in Commercial Finance

The Company’s investments in commercial finance consist primarily of equipment loans, direct financing leases and operating leases.  Those investments that the Company is holding for sale to its investment entities 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 payme nts 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 lease and loans for which payments are more than 90 days past due.  Fees from delinquent payments are recognized when received.

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.

Investments in Commercial Finance – (Continued)

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 fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Future payment card receivables.  Additionally, the Company has provided capital advances to small businesses based on future credit card receipts.  The entire portfolio of future payment card receivables is on the cost recovery method whereby no income is recognized until the basis of the future payment card receivable has been fully recovered.

Allowance for credit losses.  The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses in commercial finance (including investments in leases and 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 ulti mate write-off.  The Company fully reserves, net of recoveries, all leases and loans after they are 180 days past due.
 
        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 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.

Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale, including investments in the CDO issuers it sponsored, are carried at fair value.  The fair value of the CDO investments is based primarily on internally-generated expected cash flow models that require significant management judgment and estimates due to the lack of market activity and the use of unobservable pricing inputs.  Investments in affiliated entities, including holdings in The Bancorp, Inc. (“TBBK”) (NASDAQ: TBBK) and RCC, are valued at the closing price of the respective publicly-traded stock.  The fair value of the cumulative net unrealized gains and losses on these investment securities, net of tax, is reported through accumulated other comprehensive income and loss.  Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the trade date on the basis of specific identification and are included in net operating results.

The Company recognizes a realized loss when it is probable there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows of the security holder from what had been previously estimated.  The security is then written down to fair value, and the unrealized loss is transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the consolidated statements of operations as a charge to current earnings.  The cost basis adjustment for an other-than-temporary impairment would be recoverable only upon the sale or maturity of the security.
 
        Periodically, the Company reviews the carrying value of its available-for-sale securities.  If the Company deems an unrealized loss to be other-than-temporary, it will record an impairment charge.  The Company’s process for identifying other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of its investments involves consideration of (i) the duration of a significant decline in value, (ii) the liquidity, business prospects and overall financial condition of the issuer, (iii) the magnitude of the decline, (iv) the collateral structure and other credit support, as applicable, and (v) the more-than-likely intention of the Company to hold the investment until the value recovers.  Additionally, with respect to its evaluation of its investment in RCC, the Company also takes into consideration its role as the external manager and the value of its management contract, which includes a substantial fee for termination of the manager.  When the analysis of the above factors results in a conclusion that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and the cost of the investment is written down to fair value.
 
         The Company’s trading securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings and reported in other income.  These securities are valued at the closing price of the respective publicly-traded stock.

Investment Securities – (Continued)
 
        The Company recognizes dividend income on its investment securities classified as available-for-sale on the ex-dividend date.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, which includes amounts recorded under capital leases, are stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are based on cost, less estimated salvage value, using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Major renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.  The amortization of assets classified under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

The Company adjusts the balance of its deferred taxes to reflect the tax rates at which future taxable amounts will likely be settled or realized.  The effects of tax rate changes on deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, as well as other changes in income tax laws, are recognized in net earnings in the period during which such changes are enacted.  Valuation allowances are established and adjusted, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.  The Company assesses its ability to realize deferred tax assets primarily based on the earnings history and future earnings potential of the legal entities through which the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Servicing and Repurchase Liabilities

The Company routinely has sold its investments in commercial finance assets held for sale to its affiliated leasing partnerships and RCC, as well as to third parties. Leases and loans are accounted for as sold when control of the lease is surrendered.  Control over the leases is deemed surrendered when (1) the leases have been transferred to the leasing partnership, RCC 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 unilatera lly cause the buyer to return specific leases.  Subsequent to these sales, the Company typically remains as the servicer for the leases and loans sold for which it generally receives a servicing fee of approximately 1% of the book value of the serviced portfolio.  The assets and liabilities associated with the respective servicing agreements are typically not material and are offsetting, and accordingly, are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

However, during fiscal 2010, the Company sold to RCC and will retain servicing for a portfolio of leases and loans for which it will not receive any servicing fees.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a $2.5 million liability for the present value of the estimated cost to service the portfolio.  At September 30, 2010, the unamortized servicing liability approximated $2.4 million.  Additionally, RCC has the option to return, and the Company has the obligation to repurchase, up to a maximum of approximately $5.9 million in delinquent leases and loans as specified in the sale agreement.  In conjunction with this option, the Company recorded a $3.0 million estimated liability based on historical default rates.

Goodwill and 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.  Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level using a two-step process.  The first step is a screen for potential impairment by comparing 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.  If the fair value is less than the carrying value, step two is completed to measure the amount of impairment, i f any.  In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying amount.  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.  An impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

The Company utilizes several approaches, including discounted expected cash flows, market approach and comparable sales transactions to estimate the fair value of its reporting unit for its impairment review of goodwill.  These approaches require assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which are based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions.

The Company’s commercial finance operating segment has goodwill of $8.0 million, which is tested annually on May 31st for impairment.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the commercial finance operations incurred significant losses, inclusive of the write-off of the customer related intangible asset (as discussed below) and the waiver of management fees from its investment entities.  Accordingly, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred and performed, as of September 30, 2010, an interim assessment of goodwill for impairment at the commercial finance reporting unit.  Based on a third-party valuation as of May 31, 2010 as well as test results that were internally generated as of September 30, 2010 as a result of the triggering event in the fourth quarter, management concluded that there has been no impairment of goodwill.

Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  ; Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

In fiscal 2007, the Company acquired customer relationships with third-party originators, classified as a customer related intangible asset.  The value of the intangible asset consists of the estimated excess of future cash inflows over the related cash outflows generated by the acquired customer base and relationships with third-party originators.  The Company has been amortizing the intangible asset over the expected useful life of the asset and has continually monitored events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of the intangible asset may not be recoverable.  Due to the uncertainty of payment of the management fees in the future from the LEAF investment partnerships, there is no future expected benefit t o be derived from the intangible asset. Therefore, the Company impaired the entire unamortized balance and, accordingly, recorded an impairment loss of $2.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Recent Accounting Standards

Accounting Standard Issued But Not Yet Effective

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following accounting standards which are not yet effective for the Company as of September 30, 2010:

Transfers of financial assets - In June 2009, the FASB amended prior guidance on Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.  The new pronouncement changes the derecognition guidance for the transferors of financial assets, eliminates the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose entities and requires additional disclosures about all transfers of financial assets.  This guidance will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2011.  The Company does not anticipate that this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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

Recent Accounting Standards – (Continued)

Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses - In July 2010, the FASB issued guidance that will require companies to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements including, but not limited to, significant purchases and sales of financing receivables, aging information and credit quality indicators. The Company will provide the required disclosures in its first fiscal quarter of 2011.

Variable Interest Entities - In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to revise the approach to determine when a VIE should be consolidated.  The new consolidation model for VIEs considers whether the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and shares in the significant risks and rewards of the entity.  The guidance on VIEs requires companies to continually reassess VIEs to determine if consolidation is appropriate and to provide additional disclosures.  This guidance will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2011.  The Company has determined that this guidance will not have a significant effect o n its consolidated financial statements.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

The Company adopted the following accounting standards during fiscal 2010:

Subsequent Events.  In February 2010, the FASB issued guidance which removes the requirement to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective upon issuance.

Fair Value Measurements.  In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.  The new pronouncement requires a reporting entity: (1) to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and (2) to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. In addition, it clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures: (1) disclosures regard ing the need to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities, and (2) disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.  The new guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2011.

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

Participating Securities.  In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance which requires nonvested equity awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, or participating securities, to be included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  The Company has, accordingly, adjusted all historical earnings per share data presented.

Noncontrolling Interests.  In December 2007, the FASB established accounting and reporting guidance for a noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary which requires that the noncontrolling interest be reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and that net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and net income (loss) attributable to the Company be presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations.  The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance at the beginning of fiscal 2010 and disclosed the impact on its results of operations in Note 15.

NOTE 6 − INVESTMENT SECURITIES– (Continued)

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.  The primary inputs used in producing the internally generated expected cash flows models are as follows:  (i) constant default rate (2%); (ii) loss recovery percen tage (70%); (iii) constant prepayment rate (20%); and (iv) reinvestment price on collateral (98% for the first year, 99% thereafter).  To determine the fair value of these CDO investments, the Company applied discounts rates of 22.5% to the U.S. bank loan CDOs and 27.5% for the European bank loan CDO.  With respect to its evaluation of its investment in RCC, the Company also takes into consideration its role as the external manager and the value of its management contract, which includes a substantial fee for termination of the manager.  Further, because of its more likely than not intent and ability to hold these investments, the Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be other-than-temporary impairments.

Other-than-Temporary Impairment Losses.  The Company has recorded charges for the other-than-temporary impairment of certain of its CDO investments.  In fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded charges of $480,000, $8.5 million and $14.5 million, respectively, for the other-than-temporary impairment of certain of its investments in CDOs, primarily those with investments in bank loans, financial institutions, and real estate ABS (which includes RMBS and CMBS).  Additionally, in fiscal 2010, the Company recorded a $329,000 charge for the other-than-temporary impairment of its investment in TBBK common stock held for the SERP as the Company intends to sell these securities during fiscal 2011.  In fiscal 2009, the Company recorded a charge of $73,000 for the other-than-temporary impairment of its investment in TBBK, formerly held for investment purposes, as management no longer had the intent to hold the security to recovery.

NOTE 7 – LOANS

Loans held for investment, net.  In December 2007, the Company closed Apidos CDO VI, a $240.0 million securitization of corporate loans, purchased all of the equity for $21.3 million and consolidated it in its financial statements.  As of March 31, 2009, the Company agreed to sell its interest in Apidos CDO VI, and accordingly, no longer consolidated it.

NOTE 8 − INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES- (Continued)

Two of the Trapeza entities that have incentive distributions, also known as carried interests, are subject to a potential clawback to the extent that such distributions exceed the cumulative net profits of the entities, as defined in the respective partnership agreements (see Note 22).  The general partner of those entities is equally owned by the Company and its co-managing partner.  Performance-based incentive fees in interim periods are recorded based upon a formula as if the contract were terminated at that date.  On a quarterly basis (interim measurement date), the Company quantifies the cumulative net profits/net losses (as defined under the Trapeza partnership agreements) and allocates income/loss to the limited and general partn ers according to the terms of such agreements.

NOTE 9 − VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Consolidated VIEs

Variable interests in the Company’s real estate segment primarily relate to subordinated financings in the form of mezzanine loans or unconsolidated real estate interests.  The Company had one and two interests in real estate loans as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for which the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE borrower and, therefore, consolidated the VIEs.  The Company’s maximum loss exposure on the one loan held at September 30, 2010 and the two loans it held at September 30, 2009 was limited to its investment.

The following table reflects the assets and liabilities of the one and two real estate VIEs as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, that were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

VIE Not Consolidated

In May 2008, the Company 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”), which was determined to be a VIE, to acquire and then manage discounted/distressed assets. The institutional partner receives the majority of the expected losses/residual returns and, as a result, was determined to be the primary beneficiary.  On December 1, 2009, the Company sold its interests in VIP Borrower to RCC at book value for $2.1 million.  The Company, however, has retained management of the joint venture a ssets and will continue to receive fees in connection with the acquisition, investment management and disposition of assets held by VIP Borrower as well as new assets acquired by the joint venture.

Commercial Finance – Short-term Bridge Financing

Guggenheim Securities, LLC and its affiliate (“Guggenheim”).  LEAF has a short-term bridge loan pursuant to which it may borrow up to $21.5 million.  The loan is in the form of a series of notes which mature on February 20, 2011 and are secured by equipment leases and loans.  Guggenheim is the lender under the notes and it releases funds as LEAF originates leases and notes.  Interest and principal are due on each class of notes on a monthly basis.   As of September 30, 2010, the principal balance of notes outstanding was $20.8 million, of which $10.1 million was held in escrow included in restricted cash, and the weighted average interest rate during fiscal 2010 was 8.2%.
 
Corporate − Secured Revolving Credit Facility

TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”).  The Company has had a revolving credit facility with TD Bank since May 2007.  In November 2009, the facility with TD Bank was amended primarily to (i) extend the maturity date of the facility for an additional year to October 15, 2011, (ii) decrease the borrowing base to $20.0 million as of November 6, 2009, (iii) reduce the interest rate on the loan to (a) the prime rate of interest plus 3% with a floor of 7% or (b) LIBOR plus 4.5% with a floor of 7.5% and (iv) reduce the monthly reduction in maximum credit facility amount from $850,000 to $150,000 per month.  In addition, the Company is charged a 5.25% fee on a $401,000 outstanding letter o f credit.  As further required by the amendment, the Company reduced its outstanding borrowings to $15.0 million as of June 30, 2010.  In consideration for these modifications, the Company paid a fee of $345,000 to the lender.  The September 30, 2010 principal balance on the facility was $14.1 million, the maximum amount available (as reduced for letters of credit).    The line matures on October 15, 2011.

Borrowings are secured by a first priority security interest in certain of the Company’s assets and the guarantees of certain subsidiaries, including (i) the present and future fees and investment income earned in connection with the management of, and investments in, sponsored CDO issuers, (ii) a pledge of 18,972 shares of TBBK common stock, and (iii) the pledge of 1,321,657 shares of RCC common stock.  Availability under the facility is limited to the lesser of (a) 75% of the net present value of future management fees to be earned or (b) the maximum revolving credit facility amount.  Weighted average borrowings for fiscal 2010 and 2009 were $17.8 million and $39.6 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 10.7% and 8.7%, res pectively.  As of September 30, 2010, the line was fully utilized.

Corporate – Senior Notes

On September 29, 2009, the Company sold $15.6 million of its 12% senior notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes”) in a private placement to certain senior executives and shareholders of the Company.  The Senior Notes were sold with detachable 5-year warrants which provide the purchasers the right to acquire 3,052,940 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.11 per share.  On October 6, 2009, the Company completed the offering with the sale of an additional $3.2 million of Senior Notes and detachable warrants to purchase 637,255 shares with the same terms as the original issue.  In the aggregate, the Company sold $18.8 million of Senior Notes with detachable warrants to purchase 3,690,195 shares. &# 160;The Senior Notes require quarterly payments of interest in arrears beginning December 31, 2009.  The notes are unsecured, senior obligations and are junior to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness.  As required by the TD Bank credit agreement, the Company paid down outstanding borrowings on the TD facility with $10.6 million of proceeds from the offering.  In addition, until all of the Senior Notes are paid in full, retired or repurchased, the Company cannot declare or pay future quarterly cash dividends in excess of $0.03 per share without the prior approval of all of the holders of the Senior Notes unless basic earnings per common share from continuing operations from the preceding fiscal quarter exceed $0.25 per share.

The proceeds from the Senior Notes were allocated to the notes and the warrants based on their relative fair values.  The Company used a Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of the warrants at $4.9 million for the first issuance and $1.0 million for the subsequent issuance.  The model included assumptions regarding the Company’s dividend yield (2.3%), the Company’s stock price volatility (44.1%) risk-free interest rate (2.3%) and the expected warrant life of three years.  The Company accounted for the warrants as an increase to additional paid in capital with an offsetting discount to the Senior Notes.  The discount is being amortized into interest expense over the 3-year term of the Senior Notes using the effective interest method.  The weighted average interest rate inclusive of the discount was 20.0% for fiscal 2010.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES – (Continued)

At September 30, 2010, the Company had federal, foreign, state and local net operating tax loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of $178.3 million that will expire between fiscal 2011 and 2031 which result in a deferred tax asset of $17.5 million.  The Company believes it will be able to utilize up to $93.5 million of these NOLs (tax effected benefit of $13.0 million) prior to their expiration; therefore, it has increased its gross valuation allowance from $64.3 million to $84.8 million (tax effected expense of $4.5 million).  Management will continue to assess its estimate of the amount of NOLs that the Company will be able to utilize.  Furthermore, its estimate of the required valuation allowance could be adjusted in the future if projections of taxable income are revised.  Management believes it is more likely than not that the other net deferred tax assets will be realized based on tax planning strategies that will generate future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible.  

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 currently undergoing an IRS examination for fiscal 2008.  The Company is not subject to IRS examination for fiscal years before 2007 and is not subject to state and local income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2004.

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 classifies 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.

NOTE 17 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The diluted EPS computation (“Diluted EPS”) takes into account the effect of potential dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of stock options, warrants and director deferred shares.

Effective October 1, 2009, the Company adopted and retrospectively applied a FASB-issued standard that requires nonvested share-based awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents to be included in computing earnings per share.  The adoption of this standard increased the weighted average number of shares by 672,000 for fiscal 2009, which reduced the loss per common share by $0.03 from the previously reported loss per common share of $0.84 to $0.81, as revised.  The impact to fiscal 2008 was an increase in the weighted average shares by 286,000, which reduced the loss per common share by $0.03 from the previously reported loss per common share of $1.50 to $1.47, as revised.

        For fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, Diluted EPS shares were the same as Basic EPS shares because the effect of potential securities would have been antidilutive.  As of September 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, outstanding options to purchase 2.5 million, 2.5 million and 3.4 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $9.03, $9.04 and $8.49 per share, respectively, were excluded from the Dilutive EPS calculation along with warrants to purchase 3,690,000 and 3,053,000 shares of common at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $5.11 per share as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Additionally as of September 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, there were 69,300, 69,300 and 99,548 share s, respectively, of restricted stock (at a fair value of $16.42 per share) outstanding that did not have participating rights and, as such, were also excluded from Diluted EPS shares.

NOTE 18 - BENEFIT PLANS

Employee stock options.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company has four employee stock plans: the 1997 Plan, the 1999 Plan, the 2002 Plan and the 2005 Plan.  Equity awards from these plans 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 from the date of grant.

The 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.  The Company does not record a tax benefit for option awards at the grant date since the options it issues are generally ISOs and employees have typically held the stock received on exercise for the requisite holding period.

NOTE 18 - BENEFIT PLANS − (Continued)

The Company did not grant any options during fiscal 2010 or 2009.  In fiscal 2008, the Company granted 102,000 employee stock options and computed their fair value as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

At September 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had unamortized compensation expense related to unvested stock options of $202,000, $453,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.  For fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded option compensation expense of $226,000, $613,000, and $1.0 million, respectively.

Restricted stock.  During fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued 399,156, 225,839 and 505,817 shares of restricted stock, respectively, valued at $1.7 million, $828,000 and $6.8 million, respectively, and recorded compensation expense of $2.7 million, $3.4 million and $3.4 million (including $232,000, $600,000 and $468,000 of expense related to the accelerated vesting of awards for certain terminated employees), respectively.

In April 2009, LEAF granted to its senior management 215,000 shares of its restricted stock valued at $189,000, of which half vested immediately and 25% vested at one and two years after the grant date.  These shares were issued from the 300,000 restricted shares that LEAF had repurchased in December 2008.  The Company recorded compensation expense related to the LEAF restricted stock and subsidiary units of $57,000, $142,000 and $17,000 for fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Performance-based awards.  The Company also issues performance-based awards which are earned based on the achievement of specified goals as of a designated measurement date.  The goals typically include such measures as earnings per share, return on equity, revenues and assets under management.  No performance shares were awarded in fiscal 2010.  During fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company awarded 100,000 and 222,203 performance-based restricted stock awards, respectively, and recorded compensation expense of $96,000 and $113,000 during fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.  No compensation expense for performance-based awards was recorded in fiscal 2008.

Deferred stock and deferred compensation plans.  In addition to the employee stock plans, the Company has two plans for its non-employee directors (“Eligible Directors”), the 1997 Director Plan and the 2002 Director Plan.  Each unit granted under these plans represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock.

The 1997 Director Plan has issued all of its authorized 173,450 units.  As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were 104,070 units vested and outstanding under this plan.
 
        Eligible Directors are eligible to participate in the 2002 Director Plan.  Upon becoming a director, each Eligible Director receives units equal to a share compensation amount divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  Eligible Directors receive an additional unit award on each anniversary of the date of initial grant equal to their share compensation divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  Units vest on the later of: (i) the fifth anniversary of the date the recipient became an Eligible Director and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant of those units, except that units will vest sooner upon a change in control or death or disability of an Eligible D irector, provided the Eligible Director has completed at least six months of service.  Upon termination of service by an Eligible Director, shares of common stock are issued for vested units and all nonvested units are forfeited.  The 2002 Director Plan provides for the issuance of 173,450 units and terminates on April 29, 2012.  As of September 30, 2010, there were 113,437 units outstanding of which 79,387 were vested.

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, have completed 1,000 hours of service and been employed by the Company for one year.  Contributions to the ESOP were funded by the Company as set forth in the plan.  The ESOP used a loan from the Company to acquire 105,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The loan was fully repaid in fiscal 2008 and all shares held by the Plan have been allocated to participants’ accounts.  Compensation expense related to the plan was $497,000 for fiscal 2008 (none in fiscal 2010 or 2009).  Vested shares held by the plan are distributed upon the termination of the participant’s employment with the Company or upon the termination of the ESOP.  In December 2008, the Company filed an application under the voluntary correction program ("VCP") with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in order to correct certain compliance errors that were made with respect to the ESOP.  The IRS has concluded the VCP process and the Company is currently making the necessary corrections pursuant to the final compliance statement.  Additionally, in April 2010, the Company reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) relating to the ESOP annual report for fiscal 2007.  Furthermore, the DOL audited the ESOP and is auditing the Resource America, Inc. Investment Savings Plan (“401k Plan”) for the plan years from 2005 to 2009 (the "DOL Audit").  The DOL has closed the portion of the DOL Audit with respect to the ESOP and issued a formal closing letter.

Employee 401(k) Plan.  The Company sponsors a qualified 401(k) Plan to enable employees to save for their retirement on a tax deferred basis.  Employees are eligible to make elective deferrals commencing on the first day of the month after their date of hire.  The Company will match 50% of such deferrals, limited to 10% of an employee’s annual compensation, after the completion of 1,000 hours of service and having been employed by the Company for one year.  The match contribution vests over a period of five years.  In May 2010, the Company discovered errors in the calculation of the employer match and the calculation of the vested percentages for some employees .  The Company is working to quantify the extent of the correction needed, and intends to file under the VCP program to correct these compliance errors.  The Company recorded compensation expense of $1.1 million, $951,000 and $968,000 for matching contributions for fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

SERP. The Company established a SERP, which has Rabbi and Secular Trust components, for Edward E. Cohen (“E. Cohen”), while he was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  The Company pays an annual benefit equal to $838,000 during his lifetime or for a period of 10 years from June 2004, whichever is longer.  The 1999 Trust, a secular trust, purchased and holds 100,000 shares of the common stock of TBBK ($669,000 fair value at September 30, 2010).  The Company holds an additional 123,719 shares of TBBK common stock as well as $50,000 in cash at September 30, 2010 to support the Rabbi Trust portion of the SERP.  At September 30, 2009, the Company held $850 ,000 of other equity securities in the Rabbi Trust which were sold during fiscal 2010.

NOTE 19 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS − (Continued)

Relationship with RCC. Since March 2005, the Company has had a management agreement with RCC pursuant to which it provides certain services, including investment management and certain administrative services to RCC.  The agreement, which had an original maturity date of March 31, 2009, continues to automatically renew for one-year terms unless at least two-thirds of the independent directors or a majority of the outstanding common shareholders agree to not renew it.  The Company receives a base management fee, incentive compensation and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.  The base management fee is equal to 1/12th of the amount of RCC’s equity, as defined by the management agreement, multiplied by 1.50%.  In October 2009 and January 2010, the management agreement was further amended such that RCC will directly reimburse the Company for the wages and benefits for its Chief Financial Officer, an executive officer who devotes all of his time to serve as RCC’s Chairman of the Board, and three accounting professionals, each of whom will be exclusively dedicated to the operations of RCC and a director of investor relations who will be 50% dedicated to RCC's operations.  In August 2010, the agreement was further amended to reduce the incentive management fee earned by the Company for any fees paid directly by RCC to employees, agents and/or affiliates of the Company with respect to profits earned by a taxable REIT subsidiary of RCC.

In January 2010, RCC advanced $2.0 million to the Company under an 8% promissory note that matures on January 14, 2015.  Interest is payable quarterly in arrears and requires principal repayments upon the receipt of distributions from one of the Company’s real estate investment entities.

In May 2009, the Company loaned RCC $4.5 million.  RCC repaid the loan the same day and paid the Company a commitment fee of $180,000.

LEAF originates and manages leases and loans on behalf of RCC.  The leases and loans are typically sold to RCC at fair value plus an acquisition fee of 1%.  LEAF also typically receives a 1% fee to then service the assets.  However, during fiscal 2010, LEAF sold approximately $116.0 million of leases and loans to RCC for which it LEAF will not receive acquisition or servicing fees and, accordingly, recognized a loss of $7.5 million.  The loss included an estimated loss reserve of $3.0 million (up to a maximum of approximately $5.9 million of delinquent assets can be returned), a servicing liability of $2.5 million and a $2.0 million write-off of previously unreimbursed capitalized costs associated with the portfolio.   ;During fiscal 2010, LEAF also sold an additional $10.3 million of leases and loans to RCC.  In fiscal 2009 and 2008, LEAF sold $6.1 million and $59.1 million, respectively, of leases and loans to RCC.  In addition, from time to time, LEAF repurchases leases and loans from RCC at a price equal to their fair value as an accommodation under certain circumstances, which include the consolidation of multiple customer accounts, originations of new leases when equipment is upgraded and facilitation of the timely resolution of problem accounts when collection is considered likely.  LEAF repurchased $140,000, $1.4 million and $9.0 million of leases and loans from RCC during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

In June 2009, one of the LEAF investment partnerships acquired net assets of $89.8 million, primarily a pool of leases, and assumed $82.3 million in related debt from a subsidiary of RCC.  No gain or loss was recognized by any of the parties on the acquisition or sale.  In relation to this transaction, the Company owed $7.5 million to RCC under a promissory note bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3%.  In addition, the Company was due $3.0 million from the investment partnership for this transaction.  The note was repaid in full to RCC and the Company received full repayment from the investment partnership in August 2009.

In December 2009, the Company recorded an adjustment of $200,000 ($173,000 net of tax) related to equity compensation expense for previously issued RCC restricted stock and options awarded to members of the Company’s management.  The Company determined that the amounts that related to prior fiscal years and quarters were immaterial to all prior fiscal years and quarters, including the impact on earnings per share and, therefore, recognized the full adjustment during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  Additionally, the impact on full-year net earnings for fiscal 2010 was immaterial.

Chadwick has periodically facilitated transactions for RCC.  No fees have been charged by Chadwick for these transactions.

Transactions between LEAF and its Investment Entities.  LEAF originates and manages leases and loans on behalf of its investment entities (collectively, the “LEAF Funds”) for which it also is the general partner.  The leases and loans are sold to the LEAF Funds at fair value plus an origination fee not to exceed 2%.  During fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, LEAF sold $65.9 million, $275.2 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, of leases and loans to the LEAF Funds.  In addition, from time to time LEAF repurchases leases and loans from the LEAF Funds in the same manner as it does from RCC.  During fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, LEAF repurchased $6.0 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of leases and loans from the LEAF Funds at a price equal to their fair value.

NOTE 21 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Assets and liabilities are categorized 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.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, were as follows (in thousands):

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as well as the valuation techniques applied to each fair value measurement:

Receivables from managed entities.  The Company recorded a discount on certain of its receivable balances due from its real estate and commercial finance managed entities due to the extended term of the repayment to the Company.  The discount was computed based on estimated inputs, including the repayment term (Level 3).

Retained interest - commercial finance.  During fiscal 2010, the Company sold leases and loans to third-parties in which portions of the proceeds were retained by the purchasers.  The purchasers have the right to return leases and loans that default within periods ranging from approximately six to forty-eight months after the date of sale and to deduct the applicable percentage from the retained proceeds.  The Company determines the fair value of these retained interests by calculating the present value of future expected cash flows using key assumptions for credit losses and discount rates based on historical experience and repayment terms (Level 3).

Investment in RRE Opportunity REIT.  During the offering period, the Company has valued its investment in the common shares of RRE Opportunity REIT at the current offering price of $10.00 per share and valued its investment in the convertible shares of RRE Opportunity REIT at the offering price of $1.00 per share, the price at which it acquired such shares (Level 2).

Investment securities. The Company uses quoted market prices (Level 1) to value its investments in RCC and TBBK common stock.  The fair value of CDO investments is based primarily on internally generated expected cash flow models that require significant management judgments and estimates due to the lack of market activity and unobservable pricing inputs.  Unobservable inputs into these models include default, recovery, discount and deferral rates, prepayment speeds and reinvestment interest spreads (Level 3).

Impaired loans and leases - commercial finance.  Leases and loans are considered impaired when they are 90 or more days past due and are placed on non-accrual status.  The Company records an allowance for the impaired loans and leases based upon historical experience (Level 3).

Senior Notes.  The proceeds from the Senior Notes were allocated to the notes and the warrants based on their relative fair values.  The Company used a Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of the warrants at $4.9 million for the first issuance and $1.0 million for the subsequent issuance (Level 3).

Servicing liability.  During fiscal 2010, the Company sold a portfolio of leases and loans to RCC.  Although it will remain as the servicer for the portfolio, the Company will not receive any servicing fees.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a servicing liability based on the present value of 1% of the portfolio sold (Level 3).

Investments in Commercial Finance held for sale.  The fair value of the Company’s investments in commercial finance assets is determined based upon discounted cash flow models.

Broker-Dealer Capital Requirement.  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 for the Company and for RCC.  As a broker-dealer, Chadwick is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined in regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which was $116,000 and $121,000 as of September 30, 2010 an d 2009, respectively.  As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, Chadwick’s net capital was $393,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $277,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.

Clawback Liability.  On November 1, 2009 and January 28, 2010, the general partners of two of the Trapeza entities, which are owned equally by the Company and its co-managing partner, repurchased substantially all of the remaining limited partnership interests in the two Trapeza entities with potential clawback liabilities for $4.4 million.  The Company contributed $2.2 million (its 50% share) and, as a result of these transactions, reduced its clawback liability to $1.2 million at September 30, 2010 from $5.7 million at September 30, 2009.

Reserve for Repurchase Commitment.  In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010, the Company sold a portfolio of leases and loans to RCC in which RCC has the option to return, and the Company has the obligation to repurchase, up to a maximum of approximately $5.9 million in delinquent leases and loans as specified in the sale agreement.  In conjunction with this option, the Company recorded a $3.0 million estimated liability based on historical default rates.  The Company did not make any repurchases under this agreement as of September 30, 2010.

Legal Proceedings.  In August 2009, Riverside National Bank of Florida, or Riverside, initiated a lawsuit now captioned Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation v. The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. et al., United States District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 10 Civ. 4421, against several investment banks, rating agencies, and collateral managers of CDOs, including Trapeza Capital Management, LLC, or TCM.  The Company owns a 50% interest in TCM, and an unaffiliated third-party owns the other 50% interest.

The complaint seeks monetary damages in an unspecified amount against TCM arising out of Riverside’s investment in certain CDOs between 2005 and 2007.  Riverside’s claims against TCM stem from its role as collateral manager for various Trapeza CDOs, which were sold by various investment banks.  The complaint alleges that the offering materials for the CDOs were prepared in part by TCM and were false and misleading.  The complaint further alleges that TCM breached fiduciary and contractual obligations by failing to properly monitor the collateral for the CDOs, failing to mitigate losses and failing to disclose known quality and performance problems with the underlying collateral.  TCM believes that none of the claims have merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

NOTE 22 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES – (Continued)

Real Estate Commitments.  In connection with the sale of a real estate loan in March 2006, the Company agreed that in exchange for the current property owner relinquishing certain control rights, the Company would make payments to the current property owner under stipulated circumstances, including the sale or foreclosure of the property or a subsequent resale of the loan.  A payment of $2.6 million, increasing $16,234 per month to a maximum of $3.6 million, would be due upon the occurrence of specified events.  In addition, the current property owner has the right to receive collateral as security for this obligation equal to or greater than 105% of the value of the obligation upo n the occurrence of specified events or if the Company’s net worth falls below $80.0 million.  The Company’s obligation runs through December 31, 2014.  In addition, the Company agreed to partially indemnify the purchaser of the loan for a portion of the difference between ordinary income tax rates and capital gain rates on accrued interest on the note between the date of sale of the loan in March 2006 and December 31, 2011.  To date, the Company has not been required to make any payments resulting from these agreements.

The Company is also committed to invest 1% of the equity raised by RRE Opportunity REIT to a maximum amount of $2.5 million.

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.

As of September 30, 2010, except for the clawback liability recorded for the two Trapeza entities, the reserve for lease and loan repurchase commitment and executive compensation, the Company does not believe it is probable that any payments will be required under any of its commitments and contingencies and, accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9.
 
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
 
None.

 
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 SEC’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 achievi ng 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 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting surrounding accounting for income taxes described below in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as a result of the following material weakness, our internal control over financial reporting surrounding accounting for income taxes was not effective as of September 30, 2010.

The Company’s processes, procedures and controls related to income taxes were not effective to ensure that amounts related to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities and deferred income tax expense were accurate. The Company did not maintain effective controls over the review and analysis of supporting working papers for the tax balances noted above. As a result these balances required adjustments to be recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, audited our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010.  Their report dated December 13, 2010, which is included following this Item 9A, expressed an adverse opinion on our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness noted above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We developed the following plan to remediate the material weakness in income taxes identified above.  Quarterly, we will analyze and confirm the accuracy of any significant changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities and on annual basis, we will improve the documentation and institute more formalized review of all of the items comprising the deferred tax assets and liabilities to ensure that the proper balances and valuation allowances are reported.

We anticipate the actions described above and resulting improvements in controls will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting relating to accounting for income taxes and will address the related material weakness that we identified as of September 30, 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Stockholders and Board of Directors
RESOURCE AMERICA, INC.
 
We have audited Resource America, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with a uthorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment.

The Company did not maintain effective internal control over accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the Company’s processes, procedures and controls related to the preparation and review of the annual tax provision were not effective to ensure that amounts related to the tax provision and the related current or deferred income tax asset and liability accounts were accurate and recorded in the proper period and determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Resource America, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Resource America, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2010.  The material weakness identified above was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2010 financial statements, and this report does not affect and our report dated December 13, 2010, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on management’s statement referring to post year-end remediation to address the material weakness.

Section 2.08                      Payment of Principal and Interest; Rights Preserved.
 
(a)           For each applicable Interest Accrual Period, the Notes of each Class shall accrue interest on the Outstanding Note Balance thereof at the Note Rate applicable to such Class; provided however, that with respect to each Class of Notes and on each Payment Date, interest shall be deemed not to have accrued during the previous Interest Accrual Period on an amount equal to the Impairment of such Class of Notes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on any subsequent Payment Date and with respect to each Class of Notes, no Impairment is allocated to such Class of Notes, all Deferred Interest for such Class of Notes shall be deemed to have accrued during the immedi ately preceding Interest Accrual Period and be payable on such Payment Date as Note Current Interest.  All interest and fees accrued hereunder on the Class A Notes, the Class B-1 Notes and the Class B-2 Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a three-hundred-sixty (360)-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and shall accrue through the day preceding the Stated Maturity Date and, to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable (except with respect to Deferred Interest), on any overdue payment of interest at the Note Rate from the date such interest becomes due and payable (giving effect to any applicable grace periods herein) until fully paid.  All accrued interest shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date and shall be paid by the Trustee to the Noteholders in accordance with Section 13.03.  In making any interest payment, if the interest calculation with respect to a Note shall result in a portion of such payment being less than $0.01, then such payment shall be decreased to the nearest whole cent, and no subsequent adjustment shall be made in respect thereof.
 
(b)           The principal of each Note shall be payable on each Payment Date beginning on the Initial Payment Date unless such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by call for redemption in accordance with Article XI.  The installment of principal due on the Class A Notes on any Payment Date shall, to the extent of cash flow available therefor in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section 13.03(c)(viii).  The installment of principal due on the Class B-1 Notes on any Payment Date shall, to the extent of cash flow available therefor in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section 13.03(c)(ix).  The installment of principal due on the Class B-2 Notes on any Paym ent Date shall, to the extent of cash flow available therefor in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section 13.03(c)(x).  All unpaid principal on any Note (together with interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable hereunder or in respect of the Notes) shall be due and payable in full on the Stated Maturity Date for such Note.  All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by payment of such installments of principal shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.  Principal shall be payable to Noteholders in the same Class on a pro rata basis based upon the relative Outstanding Note Balance of the Notes in such Class as of the related date of determination; provided that, if as a result of such proration a portion of such principal would be less than $0.01, then such payment shall be decreased to the nearest whole cent, and such portion shall be applied to the next succeeding principal payment.

Section 2.09                      Persons Deemed Owner.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of the foregoing shall treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered in the Note Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whe ther or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or any agent of the foregoing shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.11                      Tax Treatment; Withholding Taxes.
 
(a)           The Issuer has structured the transaction contemplated by this Indenture and the Notes with the intention that the Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Issuer.  The Issuer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, each Noteholder and each beneficial owner of a Note by acceptance of its Note or a beneficial interest therein, each agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer for all tax purposes and further agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment, unless and to the extent otherwise required by any taxing authority under applicable law.
 
Notwithstanding anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary, effective from the date of commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated by such documents, all parties hereto and the Noteholders may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. Federal income tax treatment and tax structure of the Notes and the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind, including tax opinions or other tax analyses, if any, that are provided to such Persons regarding such tax treatment.

(9)           Any Contract for which the Servicer shall not have within 180 days of the first day of inclusion of such Contract secured by such Motorized Titled Equipment in the calculation of the Discounted Pool Balance, (i) received a Lien Certificate showing the Issuer or the Servicer (or its nominee) or the Originator (or its nominee) under a Lienholder Nominee Agreement as secured party with respect to the related Motorized Titled Equipment from the applicable Registrar of Titles and (ii) delivered such Lien Certificate or such evidence to the Custodi an, shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Discounted Pool Balance.  In the case of any Contract excluded from the calculation of the Discounted Pool Balance pursuant to the previous sentence, the Contract so excluded from the calculation of the Discounted Pool Balance may at a later time be included in the calculation of the Discounted Pool Balance, provided, that the Custodian shall have received a Lien Certificate showing the Issuer or the Servicer (or its nominee) or the Originator (or its nominee) under a Lienholder Nominee Agreement as secured party with respect to the related Motorized Titled Equipment from the applicable Registrar of Titles.
