NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF QUARTERLY PRESENTATION
 
Resource America, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: REXI) is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management operating segments.  As a specialized asset manager, the Company seeks to develop investment funds for outside investors for which the Company provides asset management services, typically under long-term management and operating arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of, the sponsored fund.  The Company limits its investment funds to investment areas where it owns existing operating companies or has specific expertise.  The Company manages assets on behalf of institutional and individual investors and Resource Capital Corp. (“RCC”) (NYSE: RSO), a diversified real estate finance company that qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”).
 
The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in these notes as of June 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”).  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”).
 
LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc, (“LEAF”).  On January 4, 2011, LEAF Financial Corporation (“LEAF Financial”), the Company’s commercial finance subsidiary, raised or obtained commitments for up to $236.0 million of equity and debt capital to expand its leasing platform through LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LEAF”), its new lease origination and servicing subsidiary, through contributions from LEAF Financial, RCC and Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”).  LEAF Financial contributed its leasing platform and directly held leases and loans, while RCC committed to investing up to $36.2 million of capital in the form of preferred stock and warrants (exercisable into LEAF common stock).  A portion of RCC’s investment consisted of the contribution of leases and loans it had previously acquired from LEAF Financial.  Guggenheim arranged a new financing facility for LEAF of $110.0 million, which can be expanded up to $200.0 million upon mutual agreement, to fund new originations (see Note 10).
 
As of June 30, 2011, RCC has completed its commitment to LEAF, and accordingly, owns a total of approximately 3,674 shares of LEAF Series A preferred stock (including paid-in-kind, or PIK shares) and has warrants to purchase 4,800 shares of LEAF common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (representing 48% of LEAF’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis assuming the exercise of all of the warrants).  For this year, the preferred stock carries a coupon of 10%, of which 2% is paid in cash and 8% is PIK.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the PIK interest of $528,000 was converted into approximately 553 shares of preferred stock.  Commencing in year two, the coupon increases to 12% and the portion paid in cash increases to 3% (increasing to 4% in year 3 and 100% in cash thereafter).
 
In addition, LEAF issued to Guggenheim a warrant to purchase up to 500 shares of LEAF common stock (exercise price of $0.01 per share) as well as the right to acquire up to an additional 150 shares of LEAF common stock from LEAF on the same terms (representing 6.5% of LEAF’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis), if by August 28, 2011, specified ratings targets for the notes issued in connection with the Guggenheim credit facility have not been obtained.
 
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s accounts and the accounts of the Company’s majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries.  The Company also consolidates entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of such entities.  Once it is determined that the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE, management must perform a qualitative analysis to determine (i) if the Company has the power to direct the matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s financial performance; and (ii) if the Company has the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  If the Company’s interest possesses both of these characteristics, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and would be required to consolidate the VIE. This assessment must be done on an ongoing basis. The portions of these entities that the Company does not own are presented as noncontrolling interests as of the dates and for the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES − (Continued)
 
Principles of Consolidation – (Continued)
 
Variable interests in the Company’s real estate segment have historically related to subordinated financings in the form of mezzanine loans or unconsolidated real estate interests.  As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company had one such variable interest that it consolidated.  The Company will continually assess its involvement with VIEs and reevaluate the requirement to consolidate them.  See Note 9 for additional disclosures pertaining to VIEs.
 
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications and Revisions
 
Certain reclassifications and revisions have been made to the fiscal 2010 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2011 presentation.
 
Financing Receivables
 
Receivables from Managed Entities.  The Company performs a review of the collectability of its receivables from managed entities on a periodic basis.  With respect to the receivables from its commercial finance investment partnerships, if upon review there is an indication of impairment, the Company will analyze the future cash flows of the managed entity, which takes into consideration several assumptions by management, specifically concerning estimations of future bad debts and recoveries.  For the receivables from the real estate investment entities for which there are indications of impairment, the Company estimates the cash flows through the sale of the underlying properties, which is based on projected net operating income as a multiple of published capitalization rates, which is then reduced by the underlying mortgage balance and priority distributions due to the investors in the entity.
 
Investments in Commercial Finance.  The Company’s investments in commercial finance consist primarily of direct financing leases, equipment loans, and operating leases.
 
Direct financing leases.  Certain of the Company’s lease transactions are accounted for as direct financing leases (as distinguished from operating leases).  Such leases transfer substantially all benefits and risks of equipment ownership to the customer.  The Company’s investment in direct financing leases consists of the sum of the total future minimum contracted payments receivable and the estimated unguaranteed residual value of leased equipment, less unearned finance income.  Unearned finance income, which is recognized as revenue over the term of the financing by the effective interest method, represents the excess of the total future minimum lease payments plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value expected to be realized at the end of the lease term over the cost of the related equipment.  Initial direct costs incurred in the consummation of the lease are capitalized as part of the investment in lease receivables and amortized over the lease term as a reduction of the yield.  The Company discontinues recognizing revenue for lease and loans for which payments are more than 90 days past due.  Fees from delinquent payments are recognized when received.
 
Equipment 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.
 
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.

NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES − (Continued)
 
Financing Receivables – (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 the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Future payment card receivables.  Commercial finance assets also include the remaining capital advances that the Company has made to small businesses based on their future credit card receipts.  The Company accounts for this portfolio on the cost recovery method and, as such, does not recognize any income until its basis in the receivable has been fully recovered.
 
Allowance for credit losses.  The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses in commercial finance 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 will progress through delinquency stages to ultimate write-off.  The Company fully reserves, net of recoveries, all leases and loans after they are 180 days past due.
 
Servicing and Repurchase Liabilities
 
In May 2010, LEAF Financial sold a portfolio of leases and loans to RCC for which it recorded a $2.5 million liability for the estimated cost to service the portfolio.  Additionally, LEAF Financial recorded a $3.0 million liability for potential repurchases as specified in the sale agreement.  During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the reserve was reduced by $799,000 because of defaulted leases.  As a result of its reacquisition of the RCC portfolio in conjunction with the formation of LEAF in January 2011, the Company eliminated the servicing and repurchase liabilities and recognized a gain of $4.4 million.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized.  Instead, a review for impairment is performed at least annually on May 31st or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate impairment might have occurred.  The Company tests its goodwill 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, if 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 charge 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 data 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 has goodwill of $8.0 million, which was transferred to LEAF in the January 2011 transaction.  The Company tests this goodwill annually in May for impairment.  Based on a third-party valuation, the Company concluded that, as of May 31, 2011, there has been no impairment of its goodwill.

Derivative Instruments
 
The Company’s policies permit it to enter into derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps to add stability to its financing costs and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks.  The Company has designed these transactions as cash flow hedges.  The contracts or hedge instruments are evaluated at inception and at subsequent balance sheet dates to determine if they continue to qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value.  U.S. GAAP requires recognition of all derivatives at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.  The Company records changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective.  Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
 
Recent Accounting Standards
 
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following guidance that is not yet effective for the Company as of June 30, 2011:
 
Comprehensive Income.  In June 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The amendment requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. This guidance will become effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2012.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amendment will have, if any, on its financial statements.
 
Fair Value Measurements.  In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to revise the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend for the amendments to result in a change in the application of the current requirements. Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, such as specifying that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements such as specifying that, in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums or discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability. This guidance will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amendment will have, if any, on its financial statements.
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings.  In fiscal 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires the disclosure of more detailed information on the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and their effect on the allowance for loan and lease losses.  In January 2011, the FASB deferred the effective date of these disclosures.  In April 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance related to determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, including factors and examples for creditors to consider in evaluating whether a restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant, prohibits creditors from using the borrower’s effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession has been granted to the borrower, and adds factors for creditors to use in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties.  A provision in the April issuance also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings.  This guidance is effective for the Company during the three months ending September 30, 2011.  This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Performing Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test.  In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance which amends the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  This guidance will become effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2011.  This guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Standards
 
Newly-Adopted Accounting Principles
 
The Company adopted the following guidance during fiscal 2011:
 
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.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.  In July 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables including, but not limited to, significant purchases and sales of financing receivables, aging information and credit quality indicators.  The Company has provided the required disclosures in the notes to its consolidated financial statements.
 
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.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or cash flows.

The unrealized losses in the above table are considered to be temporarily 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.  Specifically, with respect to its evaluation of its investment in RCC, the Company considers 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 intent and ability to hold these investments, the Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be other-than-temporary impairments.  With respect to its CDO investments, the primary inputs used in producing the internally generated expected cash flows models to determine the fair value are as follows:  (i) constant default rate (2%); (ii) loss recovery percentage (70%); (iii) constant prepayment rate (20%); (iv) reinvestment price on collateral (99%) and (v) discount rate (20%).
 
          Other-than-Temporary Impairment Losses.  There were no other-than-temporary-impairment losses recorded during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 for the other-than-temporary impairment of its CDO investments. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a $67,000 charge related to CDO investments in bank loans ($50,000 in European loans).  The $364,000 charge recorded for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 also reflected $297,000 related to CDO investments in securities of financial institutions.

Two of the Trapeza entities that have incentive distributions, also known as carried interests, are structured so that there is a “clawback” of previously paid distributions to the extent that such distributions exceed the cumulative net profits of the entities, as defined in the respective partnership agreements (see Note 20).  The general partner of those entities is owned equally 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 limited and general partners according to the terms of such agreements.

NOTE 9 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
 
In general, VIEs are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company has variable interests in VIEs through its management contracts and investments in various securitization entities including collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and CDOs.  Since the Company serves as the asset manager for the investment entities it sponsored and manages, the Company is generally deemed to have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.  In the case of an interest in a VIE managed by the Company, the Company will perform an additional qualitative analysis to determine if its interest (including any investment as well as any management fees that qualify as variable interests) could absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This analysis considers the most optimistic and pessimistic scenarios of potential economic results that could reasonably be experienced by the VIE. Then, the Company compares the benefits it would receive (in the optimistic scenario) or the losses it would absorb (in the pessimistic scenario) as compared to all benefits and losses absorbed by the VIE in total. If the benefits or losses absorbed by the Company were significant as compared to total benefits and losses absorbed by all variable interest holders, then the Company would conclude it is the primary beneficiary.

Commercial Finance - Guggenheim secured revolving credit facility
 
Guggenheim. On January 4, 2011, Guggenheim provided LEAF with a revolving warehouse credit facility with an initial availability of $50.0 million.  The facility was increased to $110.0 million on April 27, 2011 with a commitment to further expand the borrowing limit to $150.0 million.  LEAF, through its wholly owned subsidiary, issued to Guggenheim, as initial purchaser, six classes of Dominion Bond Rating Service-rated variable funding notes, with ratings ranging from “AAA” to “B”, for up to $110.0 million.  The notes are secured and payable only from the underlying equipment leases and loans.  Interest is calculated at a rate of 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin rate applicable to each class of notes.  The revolving period of the facility ends on December 31, 2012 and the stated maturity of the notes is December 15, 2020 unless there is a mutual agreement to extend.  If the maturity is not extended, the notes would amortize over the remaining term of the underlying collateral.  Principal payments on the notes are required to begin when the revolving period ends.  The Company is not an obligor or a guarantor of these securities and the facility is non-recourse to the Company.  The weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $58.2 million and $26.0 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.0% and 5.1%, respectively.

NOTE 10 – BORROWINGS – (Continued)
 
Commercial Finance – Series 2010-2 term securitization
 
In May 2010, LEAF Receivables Funding 3, LLC (“LRF3”) issued $120.0 million of equipment contract backed notes (“Series 2010-2”) to provide financing for leases and loans.  In the connection with the formation of LEAF in January 2011, RCC contributed these notes, along with the underlying lease portfolio to LEAF.  LRF3 is the sole obligator of these notes.  Neither the Company or LEAF is an obligor or a guarantor of these securities and the facility is non-recourse to the Company and LEAF.
 
The notes were originally issued in the following classes: (i) $95.5 million of class A notes; (ii) $7.0 million of class B notes; (iii) $6.4 million of class C notes; (iv) $6.4 million of class D notes; and (v) $4.7 million of class E notes.  All of the notes issued bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.0%.  The class A notes mature in May 2016 and the class B through E notes mature in December 2017.  The weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $84.6 million and $57.8 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 8.5% and 8.6%, respectively.  The notes were recorded at their fair value and are being accreted to their face value using the effective interest method.
 
Commercial Finance – Bridge Financing
 
LEAF had a short-term bridge loan with Guggenheim for borrowings up to $21.8 million.  The bridge facility was repaid with proceeds from the new revolving warehouse credit facility and terminated on February 28, 2011.  The loan was in the form of a series of notes.  The weighted average borrowings for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $11.7 million at a weighted average interest rate 9.1%.
 
Corporate – TD Bank
 
TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”).  On March 10, 2011, the Company amended its revolving credit facility with TD Bank to extend the maturity date to August 31, 2012 from October 15, 2011 and increase the maximum facility amount to $14.5 million, consisting of a $5.0 million term loan and a $9.5 million revolving line of credit.  Additionally, the interest rate on borrowings decreased to either (a) the prime rate of interest plus 2.25% or (b) LIBOR plus 3%, both with a floor of 6%.  The interest rate on borrowings until March 10, 2011 was either (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%.  The Company is charged a fee of 0.5% on the unused facility amount as well as a 5.25% fee on the outstanding balance of a $503,000 letter of credit.
 
The facility requires that the Company repay the facility in an amount equal to 30% of the aggregate net proceeds (i.e., gross sales proceeds less reasonable and customary costs and expenses related to the sale) for certain asset sales.  Included in restricted cash at June 30, 2011 is $2.4 million of proceeds from the sale of the Company’s management contract for Resource Europe CLO I (“REM I”).  TD Bank allowed the Company to defer the repayment of the facility with these funds until October 2011, at which time the revolver portion of line of credit maximum facility amount will be reduced to $7.5 million.
 
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 1,747,563 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.
 
The June 30, 2011 principal balance on the secured credit facility was $7.5 million and the availability on the line was $1.5 million, as reduced for letters of credit. Weighted average borrowings for three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $7.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 9.8% and 10.7%, respectively.  Weighted average borrowings for three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 were $17.1 million and $19.0 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 10.2% and 10.5%, respectively.
 
The term note required monthly principal payments of $150,000 until June 2011.  In June 2011, the Company completed the sale of a real estate asset, as specified in the loan agreement, and applied a $3.0 million principal payment to the term note from the proceeds of this sale as required under the agreement. As a result of this paydown, the required monthly principal payments will be reduced to $50,000 beginning in July 2011.  The outstanding principal balance on the term note at June 30, 2011 was $1.4 million.  Weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $4.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 14.2% and 12.8%, respectively.

In June 2006, the Company obtained a $12.5 million 7.1% mortgage for its hotel property in Savannah, Georgia.  The mortgage, which had an original maturity date of July 6, 2011 and was extended to August 6, 2011, and required monthly payments of principal and interest of $84,200.  The principal balance as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was $11.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively.  On August 5, 2011, the Company refinanced the mortgage for $10.7 million at a rate of approximately 5.9%, which matures in August 2021.
 
On July 20, 2011, RCC entered into a new agreement with LEAF pursuant to which RCC will provide a $10.0 million loan to LEAF, of which $2.5 million was funded as of July 20, 2011.  The loan matures on January 20, 2013 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum on the unpaid principal balance, payable quarterly.  In the event of default, interest will accrue and be payable at a rate of 5.0% in excess of the fixed rate.  The loan is secured by the commercial finance assets of LEAF and LEAF’s interest in LRF3.

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company’s investments in commercial finance assets are structured on a fixed-rate basis, but some of the Company’s borrowings through the related bank debt is obtained on a floating-rate basis.  As a result, the Company is exposed to a certain degree of risk if interest rates rise, which in turn will increase the Company’s borrowing costs.  In addition, when the Company acquires assets, it bases its pricing in part on the spread it expects to achieve between the interest rate it charges its customers and the effective interest cost the Company will pay when it funds the respective borrowings.  Increases in interest rates that increase the Company’s permanent funding costs between the time the assets are originated and the time they are funded could narrow, eliminate or even reverse this spread.
 
To manage interest rate risk, the Company employs a hedging strategy using derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges.  Accordingly, changes in fair value of those derivatives are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged forecasted interest payments are recognized in earnings.  The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  The Company manages the credit risk of possible counterparty default in the derivative transactions by dealing exclusively with counterparties with high credit quality.  The Company has an agreement with its derivative counterparty that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of the Company's indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty.  Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.  As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was $168,000, net of accrued interest.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company has posted $148,000 in cash collateral as security for any unfunded liability related to these agreements and would be required to fund more collateral should the value of the swaps decline .  If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2010, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $173,000.
 
Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, the Company determines whether a high degree of initial effectiveness exists between the change in the value of the hedged forecasted transaction and the change in the value of the derivative from a movement in interest rates.  High effectiveness means that the change in the value of the derivative is expected to provide a high degree of offset against changes in the value of the hedged forecasted transactions caused by changes in interest rate risk.  The Company measures the effectiveness of each cash flow hedge throughout the hedge period.  Any hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedging relationships, as defined by U.S. GAAP, will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company’s hedging strategies or techniques will be effective, that profitability will not be adversely affected during any period of change in interest rates, or that the costs of hedging will not exceed the benefits.

NOTE 15 − EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, inclusive of nonvested share-based awards that are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends.  The diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) computation takes into account the effect of potential dilutive common shares.  Potential common shares, consisting primarily of stock options, warrants and director deferred shares, are calculated using the treasury stock method.
 
Due to the losses for the periods presented, stock options and warrants outstanding were antidilutive and, therefore, excluded from the Diluted EPS computation.  Excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were outstanding options to purchase 1.0 million and 1.4 million shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $16.27 and $13.02, respectively, as well as outstanding warrants to purchase 3.7 million shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $5.11.  Additionally, excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were 69,300 shares of unvested restricted stock at a fair value of $16.42 per share outstanding that did not have dividend rights; these restricted shares fully vested and were issued during fiscal 2011.

NOTE 16 – BENEFIT PLANS
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) which is a qualified non-contributory retirement plan established to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock for the benefit of its employees who are 21 years of age or older and have completed 1,000 hours of service for the Company.  In December 2008, the Company filed 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 Company has finalized the corrections required under the VCP compliance statement.  Furthermore, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) closed its audits of the ESOP and the Resource America, Inc. Investment Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”) for the plan years from 2005 to 2009 without any significant changes or corrections required. The Company has decided to terminate the ESOP and, in connection with this termination, has filed for a final determination letter with the IRS.  After receipt of this final determination letter (which probably will be received toward the end of fiscal 2011 or the beginning of fiscal 2012), the Company then plans to distribute the available plan assets to participants and liquidate the ESOP trust.
 
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 on a pay period basis, limited to 10% of an employee’s biweekly 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 and has paid the corrections to the Plan.  In January 2011, the Company filed for approval of the corrections under the VCP.
 
Supplemental Employment Retirement Plan (“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 Company held 58,594 and 123,719 shares of TBBK common stock, respectively, as well as $11,000 and $50,000 in cash, respectively, as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, to support the Rabbi Trust portion of the SERP.

NOTE 19 – FAIR VALUE
 
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 June 30, 2011, the fair values of the Company’s assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 19 – FAIR VALUE – (Continued)
 
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 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).
 
Guggenheim Securities- secured revolving facility.  The proceeds from this loan were allocated to the revolving facility and the warrants issued to the lender based on their relative fair values, as determined by an independent third-party appraiser.  The appraiser determined the fair value of the debt based primarily on the interest rates of similarly rated notes with similar terms.  The appraiser assessed the fair value of the equity of LEAF in making its determination of the fair value of the warrants.
 
Interest rate swaps.  These instruments are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and utilizing models that use as their primary basis readily observable market parameters.  This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors.  Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
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.  In May 2010, the Company sold a portfolio of leases and loans to RCC.  Although it remained as the servicer for the portfolio, the Company agreed not to charge servicing fees.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a servicing liability based on the present value of 1% of the portfolio sold (Level 3).  This liability was eliminated as a result of the January 2011 formation of LEAF.

(1)
Certain of the receivables from managed entities at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 have been valued using a present value discounted cash flow where market prices were not available.  The discount rate used in these calculations is the estimated current market rate adjusted for liquidity risk.
 
(2)
The carrying value of the Company’s corporate secured revolving credit facilities and term note approximates their fair values because of their variable interest rates.  The carrying value of the Company’s commercial finance debt approximates its fair value due to its recent issuance at June 30, 2011.  The Company’s real estate debt and other debt fair values are estimated using current interest rates for similar loans.  The Company estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes by applying the percentage appreciation in a high-yield fund with approximately similar quality and risk attributes as the Senior Notes.  This disclosure excludes instruments valued on a recurring basis.
 
NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Broker-Dealer Capital Requirement.  Chadwick Securities, Inc. (“Chadwick”) serves as a dealer-manager for the sale of securities of direct participation investment programs, both public and private, sponsored by subsidiaries of the Company who also serve as general partners and/or managers of these programs.  Additionally, Chadwick serves as an introducing agent for transactions involving sales of securities of financial services companies, REITs and insurance companies 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 $100,000 and $116,000 as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.  As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, Chadwick’s net capital was $418,000 and $393,000, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $318,000 and $277,000, 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). The clawback liability was $1.2 million at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.
 
Legal Proceedings.  In August 2009, Riverside National Bank of Florida, 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 (“TCM”).  The Company owns a 50% interest in TCM, and an unaffiliated third-party owns the other 50% interest.  In April 2011, the FDIC voluntarily dismissed this lawsuit without prejudice against TCM and all of the defendants.

NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES – (Continued)
 
General corporate commitments.  As a specialized asset manager, the Company sponsors and manages 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.  With respect to RRE Opportunity REIT, the Company is committed to invest 1% of the equity raised to a maximum amount of $2.5 million.
 
In July 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with one of the TIC programs the Company sponsored and manage.  This agreement requires the Company to fund up to $1.5 million for capital improvements for the TIC property over the next two years.  In anticipation of this agreement, the Company advanced funds totaling $268,000 as of June 30, 2011.
 
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 June 30, 2011, except for the clawback liability recorded for the two Trapeza entities and executive compensation, the Company did not believe it was probable that any payments would be required under any of its commitments and contingencies and, accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations were recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 21 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
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.  On April 7, 2011, the Company was formally notified that a trigger event had occurred on March 17, 2011, and accordingly, the Company accrued the present value of $3.4 million for the payout due under the agreement, which is reflected as a $2.2 million loss, net of tax, from discontinued operations in the statement of operations.

Overview of the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
       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 sectors.  As a specialized asset manager, we seek to develop investment funds for outside investors for which we provide asset management services, typically under long-term management arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of, our sponsored investment funds.  We typically maintain an investment in the funds we sponsor.  As of June 30, 2011, we managed $13.4 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, although 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.
 
In our real estate segment, we have focused our efforts primarily on 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 current economic conditions and high levels of leverage. We also continue to monetize our legacy real estate portfolio.  In June 2011, we received net proceeds of approximately $16.6 million from the sale by its owner of a building in Washington, DC in which we owned a 25% interest, and recorded a gain on our investment of approximately $7.6 million.
 
In our commercial finance segment, we reorganized the structure of our equipment leasing and loan operation through the formation of LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc., or LEAF, on January 4, 2011.  In the transaction, LEAF Financial Corporation, or LEAF Financial, contributed its leasing platform and directly-held leases and loans, while Resource Capital Corp. (NYSE: RSO), or RCC, committed to investing $36.2 million of capital in the form of preferred stock; RCC has fully funded its commitment as of June 30, 2011.  A portion of RCC’s investment consisted of the contribution of the leases and loans it had acquired from LEAF Financial.  In addition, Guggenheim Securities, LLC, or Guggenheim, arranged a new financing facility for LEAF of up to $200.0 million in revolving senior debt to fund new originations.  In conjunction with the contribution of the RCC portfolio, LEAF Financial reversed the servicing and repurchase liabilities it recorded in fiscal 2010 on certain lease and loan sales to RCC, and recognized a gain of $4.4 million.
 
Since fiscal 2010, we have waived our management fees from our four sponsored and managed commercial finance investment funds due to their reduced equity distributions to their partners due to the impact of the recession on the cash flow of these entities.  For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, we have waived $1.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively, in fees.  We anticipate that we will continue to waive these management fees in the future, which will reduce our revenues and adversely affect our profitability.  In addition, we recognized a $2.4 million and $6.0 million provision for credit losses on the receivables due from these entities for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.

 
In our financial fund management segment, we continue to manage and receive fees from the collateralized debt obligation, or CDO, issuers that we had previously formed and sponsored.  In February 2011, we entered into a services agreement with a subsidiary of RCC to provide subadvisory collateral management and administration services for five CDO issuers invested primarily in bank loans.  This increased our assets under management by $1.9 billion.  In December 2010, we completed the sale of our management contract and equity investment in Resource Europe CLO I, or REM I, for approximately $11.1 million and recognized a net gain of $5.1 million.  
 
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 certain circumstances as stipulated in the sale agreement.  In March 2011, a triggering event as specified in the agreement occurred and, accordingly, we recorded a $3.4 million liability for the present value of the payments due to the property owner and recorded the charge to discontinued operations.
 
For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we recorded an equity gain of $7.6 million based on our interest in an office  building that was sold in Washington DC, offset by losses primarily incurred by our commercial finance operations.  Additionally, the loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 includes a $3.4 million ($2.2 million net of tax) charge for a real estate commitment which was offset, in part, by gains of $6.5 million from our sale of a European CDO management contract and $4.4 million from the extinguishment of previously recorded servicing and repurchase liabilities.  Accordingly, we reported a consolidated net loss attributable to common shareholders of $411,000 and $5.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Assets Under Management
 
Our assets under management increased by $718.0 million to $13.4 billion at June 30, 2011 from $12.7 billion at June 30, 2010.  The following table sets forth information relating to our assets under management by operating segment (in millions): (1)

(2)
Increase primarily related to subadvisory agreement with RCC ($1.8 billion) and the awarding of the management contract for an existing CDO issuer with $220.3 million of assets.  These increases were offset primarily by the following: (i) the sale of our collateral management rights and responsibilities with respect to REM I ($373.2 million) in December 2010 and (ii) a decrease in the eligible collateral bases of our ABS ($365.2 million) and trust preferred portfolios ($266.8 million) resulting from defaults, paydowns, sales and calls.

Reduction primarily reflects the decrease in new originations and paydowns of existing leases and loans.

Results of Operations: Real Estate
 
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.
 
In December 2009, we closed Resource Real Estate Opportunity Fund L.P., which invests in discounted real estate and real estate related debt, after raising a total of $41.4 million.  Additionally, we are still in the offering stage of Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc., or RRE Opportunity REIT, which will also invest in discounted 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 RRE Opportunity REIT.

Revenues – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Revenues from our real estate operations increased $4.7 million (42%) and $5.1 million (21%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  We attribute the increase primarily to the following:
 
Management fees
 
 
a $300,000 decrease and a $755,000 increase in asset management fees, respectively.  Our asset management fees have increased during the 2011 periods, reflecting the additional properties in our distressed portfolio.  The decrease for the current year quarter also reflects a $198,000 adjustment to increase the discount on fees to be received in the future.
 
 
a $222,000 and $482,000 increase in property management fees, respectively, earned by our property manager, Resource Residential, reflecting the 1,109 unit increase (8%) in multifamily units under management to 14,833 units at June 30, 2011 from 13,724 at June 30, 2010; and
 
 
an $860,000 and $968,000 decrease in REIT management fees, respectively.  We receive a quarterly base management fee calculated on RCC’s equity capital.  Additionally, we earn an incentive management fee based on the adjusted operating earnings of RCC, which varies by quarter.  The base management fee increased by $451,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.  The incentive management fee decreased by $1.3 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.
 
Other revenues
 
 
a $573,000 and $363,000 increase in fee income, respectively, in connection with the purchase and third-party financing of property through our real estate investment entities.
 
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we earned fees of $750,000 from the acquisition of four loans (aggregate purchase price of $52.9 million) and $303,000 in fees from the sale of a building owned by one of our equity investments as compared to $480,000 in fees from acquiring three assets (aggregate purchase price of $44.0 million) during the prior year period.
 
 
Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, we earned $208,000 in fees from the acquisition of two distressed notes (aggregate value of $14.6 million) and $74,000 in fees from acquiring a pool of four loans for (aggregate purchase price of $3.1 million) as compared to $493,000 in fees from the acquisition of three assets (aggregate purchase price of $19.1 million) for the nine months ended June 30, 2010;
 
 
a $2.3 million and $2.4 million decrease in gains and fees on the resolution of loans and other property interests, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a total gain of $2.3 million, including a gain of $1.7 million (proceeds of $4.6 million) on the settlement of one loan and our share of the proceeds, totaling $642,000, on the sale of an asset in a joint venture.  Additionally, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a gain of $152,000 (proceeds of $811,000) on the settlement of a loan from a previously consolidated VIE, a loss of $214,000 (proceeds of $761,000) from the sale of our interest in two joint ventures and a gain of $106,000 (proceeds of $238,000) from the sale of one asset by another joint venture.  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 $143,000 from another asset sale (proceeds of $262,000 were received in September 2009); and
 
 
a $7.3 million and $6.9 million increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities, respectively.  The three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 included the $7.6 million equity gain from the sale of a Washington DC office building by one of our legacy portfolio investments, offset, in part, by the equity losses from our real estate investment partnerships of $517,000 and $1.2 million, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared $153,000 and $461,000, respectively, for the prior year periods.
 
Costs and Expenses – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the
Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Costs and expenses of our real estate operations increased $871,000 (15%) and $2.2 million (14%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  We attribute these changes primarily to the following:
 
 
a $303,000 and $813,000 increase in general and administrative expenses, respectively, related principally to the start-up costs of RRE Opportunity REIT; and
 
 
a $603,000 and $1.2 million increase in Resource Residential expenses, respectively, due to increased wages and benefits, primarily in conjunction with the additional personnel needed to operate and manage the increase in residential apartment units we manage.
 


Results of Operations: Commercial Finance
 
On January 4, 2011, we formed LEAF Commercial Capital through contributions from LEAF Financial, RCC and Guggenheim.  In the discussion that follows, we collectively refer to LEAF Financial and LEAF Commercial Capital as LEAF.
 
In January 2011, we received commitments for up to $236.0 million in capital from RCC and Guggenheim to expand its lease origination and servicing platform.  RCC contributed a portfolio of leases totaling $111.0 million along with securitized debt of $90.2 million (net of cash reserves) plus $15.2 million in cash and $140,000 comprised of other net assets in exchange for LEAF preferred stock and warrants (exercisable into LEAF common stock).  Guggenheim has provided a revolving warehouse credit facility with subordinated debt that can be increased to up to $200.0 million. The initial $50.0 million of availability under this warehouse line was increased by $60.0 million to $110.0 million in April 2011 when Wells Fargo Capital Finance, or Wells, joined the facility as an additional lender.  LEAF and Guggenheim expect to continue to expand this line of credit as needed.
 
We had reduced our lease and loan originations during the economic recession of the past few years due to the scarcity of debt to fund new lease originations at our investment entities as well as for our own account, in addition to lower demand for capital equipment by our customer base of small to medium-sized businesses. However, during fiscal 2010, we saw an improvement in the debt markets with an increase in asset-backed securitizations in the equipment sector. Since May 2010, we have securitized approximately $700.0 million of leases and loans on behalf of our investment entities and we believe that the receptivity of the market to our securitizations was instrumental in obtaining the revolving warehouse lines from Guggenheim and Wells.
 
We plan to use the recently raised capital to grow our lease portfolio and expect to continue to utilize the term securitization marketplace as a vehicle for permanent financing for the leases we originate.   New equipment originations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $5.4 million (23%) to $28.8 million as compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
The commercial finance assets we managed for our own account at June 30, 2011 increased by $19.0 million to $165.0 million as compared to $146.0 million at March 31, 2011.  The assets we managed for others at June 30, 2011 decreased by $92.0 million to $464.0 million as compared to $556.0 million at March 31, 2011 primarily due to the natural runoff of the leases portfolios owned by the respective investment partnerships.  As of June 30, 2011, we managed approximately 69,000 leases and loans for our own account and our investment entities, with an average original finance value of $25,000 and an average term of 57 months as compared to approximately 85,000 leases and loans with an average original finance value of $25,000 and an average term of 56 months as of June 30, 2010.
 
At June 30, 2011, we employed 198 employees (185 excluding part-time workers) as compared to 226 employees (220 excluding part-time workers) at June 30, 2010, representing a 12% overall reduction. The majority of the reduction of employees was in the servicing area, which is reflective of the 36% reduction in the number of leases and loans we managed at June 30, 2011 as compared to June 30, 2010.  Our origination staff increased by 8 employees as of June 30, 2011 as compared to June 30, 2010, despite the closure of our Columbia office, which accounted for a reduction of 15 employees in the origination area.  The net headcount increase in the origination functions reflect our efforts and intent to increase our origination volume.  LEAF currently maintains its corporate headquarters and operation center in Philadelphia, a sales and servicing center in Moberly, MO, a call center located in Orange County, CA and regional sales offices located throughout the U.S.

We expect the majority of our originations will be held on our balance sheet as a result of our capacity to do so coupled with the limited capability of our investment entities to currently acquire additional leases.  As a consequence, we expect that our commercial finance revenues will increase, offset, in part, by the continued reduction in acquisition and management fees we derive from our investment entities.

Total revenues include RCC servicing and origination fees of $0 and $144,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $139,000 and $287,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
 
Revenues – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the
Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Revenues increased by $872,000 (16%) and decreased by $7.4 million (34%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010.  We attribute this decrease primarily to the following:
 
 
a $3.6 million and $1.7 million increase in finance revenues, respectively, primarily driven by increased average invested assets, which were $129.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $55.0 million for the prior year period.  This reflects the contribution of the RCC portfolio in January of 2011 in addition to our ongoing lease and loan originations.  We expect that our future finance revenues will continue to increase as we continue to originate new leases and loans;
 
 
a $103,000 and $1.3 million decrease in asset acquisition fees, respectively, due to the lack of asset acquisition capabilities at our managed investment partnerships;
 
 
a $2.9 million and $9.1 million decrease in fund management fees, respectively, due to waived fees.  Commencing December 1, 2009, we agreed to waive management fees from our commercial finance investment partnerships due to their reduced equity distributions as a result of the impact of the recession on their respective cash flows.  Accordingly,  we waived $1.9 million and $6.4 million of fund management fees from these entities for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively;
 
 
 
a $42,000 increase and $1.0 million decrease in equity losses, respectively.  The decrease in the equity losses for the nine months is primarily a result of a non-recurring gain realized upon the extinguishment of a debt facility at one of our managed investment partnerships; and
 
 
a $262,000 and $376,000 increase in other income, respectively, due principally to an increase in insurance fees and customer service charges.
 
Costs and Expenses – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the
Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Costs and expenses from our commercial finance operations decreased by $803,000 (18%) and $2.1 million (16%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010.  We attribute these decreases primarily to the following:
 
 
a $1.3 million and $1.9 million increase in wage and benefit costs, respectively, primarily driven by a reduction in the amount of costs that we could allocate to our managed investment partnerships in fiscal 2011; which was more than offset by
 
 
a $1.3 million and $2.5 million decrease in other costs and expenses, respectively, reflecting reductions in credit costs and professional fees as well as our ongoing cost savings and consolidation efforts.

For information on how we calculate assets under management, see the table and related notes at the end of “Assets Under Management,” above.
 
(2)
In February 2011, we entered into a services agreement to provide subadvisory collateral management and administration services for five CDO issuers managed by RCC.
 
(3)
In December 2010, we completed the sale of our management contract for REM I, assigned our collateral management rights and responsibilities and reduced our assets under management by $373.2 million.
 
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 subordinate and incentive fees.  These fees vary by CDO issuer, with our annual fees ranging between 0.05% and 0.50% of the aggregate principal balance of the eligible collateral owned by the CDO issuers.  CDO indentures require that certain overcollateralization test ratios, or O/C ratios, be maintained.  O/C ratios measure the ratio of assets (collateral) to liabilities (notes) of a given CDO issuer.  Losses incurred on collateral due to payment defaults, payment deferrals or rating agency downgrades reduce the O/C ratios.  If O/C ratios are not met, subordinate or incentive management fees, which are discussed in the following sections, are deferred and interest collections from collateral are applied to outstanding principal balances on the CDO notes.
 
 
Administration fees − we receive fees for managing the assets held by our company-sponsored partnerships and credit opportunities fund.  These fees vary by limited partnership or fund, with our annual fee ranging between 0.75% and 2.00% of the partnership or fund 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 historically 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 in the immediate future.  Accordingly, we expect that the management fee revenues in this segment of our operations will remain stable or decline.
 

 
Apidos
 
We sponsored, structured and/or currently manage 16 CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors and RCC, which hold approximately $5.4 billion in bank loans at June 30, 2011, of which $2.7 billion are managed on behalf of RCC through eight CDO issuers.  In February 2011, we entered into a services agreement with a subsidiary of RCC to provide subadvisory collateral management and administration services for five CDO issuers which hold approximately $1.8 billion in bank loans.  We previously sponsored, structured and managed one CDO issuer holding international bank loans.  In December 2010, we completed the sale of our management contract for this CDO issuer.
 
We derive revenues from our Apidos operations through base and subordinate management fees.  Base management fees vary by CDO issuer, but range from between 0.01% 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 0.04% and 0.40% 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 nor for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.  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 $4.0 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, those general partners 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 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 $56.9 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.
 
Since March 2009, we have sponsored and managed an affiliated partnership organized as a credit opportunities fund which holds approximately $29.0 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/or currently manage eight 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 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.

In February 2011, the Company entered into a services agreement with RCC to provide subadvisory collateral management and administrative services for five CDOs holding approximately $1.8 billion in bank loans.  In connection with the services provided, RCC will pay the Company 10% of all base and additional collateral management fees and 50% of all incentive collateral management fees collected.
 
Introductory agent fees that we receive vary by transaction and, accordingly, there may be significant variations in the revenues we recognize from period to period.
 
Revenues – Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Revenues decreased $3.2 million (38%) to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  We attribute the decrease primarily to the following:
 
 
a $31,000 increase in fund management fees, principally from the following:
 
 
a $224,000 increase in collateral management fees earned in connection with a services agreement with a subsidiary of RCC.  In February 2011, we entered into a services agreement with RCC to provide subadvisory collateral management and administrative services for five CDO issuers invested in bank loans;
 
 
a $195,000 increase in management and incentive fees earned on separate managed accounts.  We entered into investment management agreements for these managed accounts in June 2010 and October 2010 and, as such, no fees were earned during the prior year period; and
 
 
a $100,000 increase in advisory fees earned in connection with a consulting agreement with a third party to provide advisory services for a CDO issuer.  No advisory fees were earned for the prior year period as the agreement was not in effect until September 2010.
 
These increases were partially offset by:
 
 
a $489,000 decrease in collateral management fees from REM I.  In December 2010, we completed the sale of the management contract of this CDO issuer and transferred all collateral management rights and responsibilities to an unaffiliated third-party.  As a result of this transaction, we no longer record any fees from REM I.
 
 
a $760,000 decrease in RCC management fees primarily due to a decrease in incentive management fees.  Incentive management fees for the three months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $155,000 as compared to $962,000 for the prior year period;
 
 
 
a $1.1 million decrease in introductory agent fees as a result of fees earned in connection with 37 structured security transactions with an average fee of $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 27 structured security transactions with an average fee of $72,000 for the prior year period;
 
 
an $860,000 decrease in interest income on loans due to the recovery of excess interest spread earned on loan assets accumulating during the warehouse period of the European CDO issuer we previously managed; and
 
 
a $385,000 net decrease in earnings from five unconsolidated CDO issuers invested in bank loans we previously sponsored and manage, primarily resulting from the sale of our equity interest in REM I.
 
Costs and Expenses – Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations decreased $2.2 million (35%) for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  This decrease was primarily the result of an $875,000 decrease in legal and consulting fees, a  $765,000 decrease in commissions on structured security transactions and a $438,000 decrease related to a profit-sharing arrangement with certain employees in connection with the portfolio management activities conducted by Resource Capital Markets for RCC.  The decrease in legal and consulting fees relates to an unsuccessful bank transaction that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Revenues – Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Revenues decreased $3.2 million to $21.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.  We attribute the decrease primarily to the following:
 
 
a $113,000 increase in management fees, principally from the following:
 
 
a $601,000 increase in management fees earned for the credit opportunities fund we manage, primarily from a $465,000 increase in incentive fees earned based on exceeding certain investor hurdle returns;
 
 
a $571,000 increase in collateral management fees earned in connection with a services agreement.  In February 2011, we entered into a services agreement with RCC to provide subadvisory collateral management and administrative services for five CDO issuers invested in bank loans;
 
 
a $363,000 increase in management and incentive fees earned on separate managed accounts.  We entered into investment management agreements for these managed accounts in June 2010 and October 2010 and, as a result, no such fees were earned during the prior year period;
 
 
a $267,000 increase in advisory fees earned in connection with a consulting agreement with a third party to provide advisory services for a CDO issuer.  No such fees were earned during the prior year period since this agreement was entered into in September 2010; and
 
 
a $245,000 decrease in our share of expenses for the management of TCM and Trapeza Management Group, LLC, primarily due to a decrease in legal fees which increased net fees received.
 
These increases were partially offset by:
 
 
a $1.7 million decrease in collateral management fees from REM I.  In December 2010, we sold the management contract of this CDO issuer and transferred all collateral management rights and responsibilities to an unaffiliated third party.  As a result of this transaction, we no longer record any fees from REM I; and
 
 
a $250,000 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.
 
 
a $1.9 million increase in RCC management fees primarily due to an increase in incentive management fees.  Incentive management fees for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 include a $2.9 million fee earned by Resource Capital Markets for managing a trading portfolio on behalf of RCC as compared to $438,000 for the prior year period.  This increase was partially offset by a $751,000 decrease in incentive management fees earned by our Apidos operations;
 
 
a $953,000 decrease in introductory agent fees as a result of fees earned in connection with 115 structured security transactions with an average fee of $38,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 67 structured security transactions with an average fee of $79,000 for the prior year period;
 
 
an $860,000 decrease in interest income on loans due to the recovery of excess interest spread earned on loan assets accumulating during the warehouse period of the European CDO issuer we previously managed;
 
 
a $923,000 net decrease in earnings from five unconsolidated CDO issuers invested in bank loans we previously sponsored and manage, primarily resulting from the sale of our equity interest in REM I; and

 
 
Limited and general partner interests − fair value adjustments:
 
 
during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we (along with the co-manager of the general partners), repurchased substantially all the remaining limited partner interests in two Trapeza partnerships that reduced our clawback liability for which we recorded a gain of $2.3 million. There was no adjustment for the nine months ended June 30, 2011; and
 
 
during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded $113,000 and $293,000, 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 –Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations increased $1.0 million (7%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.  This increase was principally due to a $2.8 million increase in wages and benefits, primarily related to a profit-sharing arrangement with certain employees in connection with the portfolio management activities conducted by Resource Capital Markets for RCC, and a $316,000 severance charge related to our European operations in connection with the sale of the management contract of REM I.  These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in legal and consulting fees, a $741,000 decrease in commissions on structured security transactions, and a $200,000 decrease in equity compensation expense on previously awarded RCC restricted stock and options.  The decrease in legal and consulting fees relates to an unsuccessful bank transaction that occurred in the prior year period.
 
Results of Operations: Other Costs and Expenses
 
General and Administrative Costs
 
General and administrative costs were $2.6 million and $8.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, a decrease of $332,000 (11%) and $519,000 (6%) as compared to $2.9 million and $9.1 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  The decrease primarily reflects the reduction in the amortization of restricted stock and stock option grants issued to our employees, reflecting the lower compensation costs due to the lower prices of the underlying Company common stock as compared to previous years.
 
Gain (Loss) on the Sale of Leases and Loans
 
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, we had net gains of $94,000 and $357,000, respectively, on the sale of leases and loans as compared to net losses of $7.2 million and $7.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  During the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and December 2009, as part of the required paydowns of our commercial finance secured warehouse facility, we sold approximately $111.0 million and $7.2 million of leases and loans for which we recorded losses of $7.1 million and $610,000, respectively..

We have estimated, based on projected cash flows, that two of the commercial finance funds and one of the real estate partnerships that we sponsored and manage will not have sufficient funds to pay a portion of their accrued management fees and, accordingly, we recorded a $3.2 million and $6.8 million provision for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $777,000 recorded in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.2 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, an increase of $1.2 (58%) and $612,000 (9%) as compared to $2.0 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  The increase for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 primarily reflect $1.5 million and $1.7 million increases in depreciation, respectively, relating to the additional $25.3 million of operating leases held by our commercial finance segment.  These increases were offset, in part, by a $154,000 and $529,000 decrease in depreciation of property and equipment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  In addition, in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, we had $204,000 and $602,000 in amortization of customer lists which were deemed to be impaired and fully amortized during fiscal 2010.

Interest expense was $4.3 million and $10.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, an increase of $772,000 (22%) and a decrease of $380,000 (3%) as compared to $3.5 million and $11.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  The following table reflects interest expense (exclusive of intercompany interest charges) as reported by segment (in thousands):

Interest expense incurred by our commercial finance operations increased by $753,000 (41%) and decreased by $374,000 (6%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2011 reflects the $82.8 million increase in weighted average borrowings as compared to the prior year period.  In the January 2011 LEAF transaction, we consolidated $96.1 million of equipment backed notes, net of discounts, and obtained a $110.0 revolving credit facility from Guggenheim, replacing the $21.8 million short-term bridge financing that matured in February 2011. The decrease for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 primarily reflects the decrease in average borrowings of $7.6 million due to the decreased borrowing capacity of LEAF Financial prior to the formation of LEAF.
 
Gain on Sale of Management Contract
 
In December 2010 we sold the management contract of REM I for a gain of $6.5 million.
 
Gain on Extinguishment of Servicing and Repurchase Liabilities
 
In conjunction with the formation of LEAF in January 2011, we reversed the servicing and repurchase liabilities recorded in fiscal 2010 related to certain lease and loan sales to RCC, and recognized a gain of $4.4 million.
 
Gain (Loss) of Investment Securities, Net
 
In December 2010, we received proceeds of $2.9 million from the sale of our equity investment in REM I and recognized a $1.5 million loss on the sale.  In addition, we sold 20,400 and 65,125 of our shares of The Bancorp, Inc. (“TBBK”) during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, and recognized gains of $57,000 and $153,000, respectively.  We did not sell any investment securities during the prior year periods.
 
Income Taxes 
 
 Our effective income tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations, before taxes) was 57% and 38% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 18% and 38% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  Although the tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 has remained consistent, the tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 has increased primarily due to the greater impact of permanent tax adjustments in relation to anticipated pre-tax earnings for fiscal 2011.
 
Currently, we project our effective tax rate to be between 31% and 38% for the remainder of fiscal 2011.  This rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings and the level of our tax credits.  We take certain of these and other factors, including our history of pre-tax earnings, 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 other taxing authorities in certain U.S. states in which we have significant business operations.  We are currently undergoing a New York State income tax examination for fiscal years 2007 - 2009.  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.
 
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

A related party holds a 19.99% interest in our investment in a hotel property in Savannah, Georgia.
 
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 (principally 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 continue to result in reduced financing availability.  We also may seek to obtain liquidity through the disposition of non-strategic investments, including our legacy real estate portfolio.
 
At June 30, 2011, our liquidity consisted of two primary sources:
 
 
cash on hand of $28.6 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 June 2011, we received net proceeds of approximately $16.6 million upon the sale of a building in Washington, DC by its owner in which we owned a 25% interest, recognizing a $7.6 million gain on the transaction.  As required by our corporate loan agreement with TD Bank, we used $3.0 million of the proceeds to pay down our term note with TD Bank.
 
In April 2011, Wells Fargo Lender Finance (“Wells”) joined as a participant in our commercial finance revolving senior debt facility arranged and managed by Guggenheim Securities.  This additional $60.0 million commitment from Wells was used by LEAF to fund new lease originations.
 
The mortgage on a hotel property we own in Savannah, GA is secured by the property.  On August 5, 2011, we refinanced the property, which extends the maturity for 10 years.
 
In March 2011, we extended the maturity of our corporate credit facility with TD Bank from October 15, 2011 to August 31, 2012 and increased the availability on the line from $12.9 million to $14.5 million, consisting of a $5.0 million term loan and a $9.5 million revolving loan component.  There was $1.5 million of availability on this line as of June 30, 2011. In addition, we obtained a new credit facility with Republic First Bank for $3.5 million, all of which is available at June 30, 2011.  
 
We may defer or discount our fees from 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 flows of two of our managed commercial finance partnerships, we determined that we will not be able to collect our management fees and, accordingly, we recorded a provision of $2.4 million and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
 
Our legacy portfolio at June 30, 2011 consisted of one loan and five property interests.  To the extent we are able to dispose of these assets, we will obtain additional liquidity.  The amount of additional liquidity we obtain will vary significantly depending upon the asset being sold and then-current economic conditions.  We cannot assure you that any dispositions will occur or as to the timing or amounts we may realize from any such dispositions. 
 
Capital Requirements
 
Our capital needs consist principally of funds to make investments in the investment vehicles we sponsor or for our own account and to provide bridge financing or other temporary financial support to facilitate asset acquisitions by our sponsored investment vehicles.  Accordingly, our capital requirements will depend to a significant extent upon our level of activity in making investments for our own account or in sponsoring investment vehicles, all of which is largely within our discretion.

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 for us and 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 $100,000 and $116,000 as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.  As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, Chadwick’s net capital was $418,000 and $393,000, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $318,000 and $277,000, respectively.
 
Clawback Liability. Two financial fund management investment entities that have incentive distributions, also known as carried interests, are structured so that there is a “clawback” of previously paid incentive distributions 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, significantly reducing our potential clawback liability. The clawback liability was $1.2 million at June 30, 2011 and 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.  We own a 50% interest in TCM, and an unaffiliated third-party owns the other 50% interest.  In April 2011, the FDIC voluntarily dismissed this lawsuit without prejudice against TCM and all of the defendants.
 
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.  With respect to RRE Opportunity REIT, we are committed to invest 1% of the equity raised by to a maximum amount of $2.5 million.
 


In July 2011, we entered into an agreement with one of the TIC programs we sponsored and manage.  This agreement requires us to fund up to $1.5 million for capital improvements for the TIC property over the next two years.  In anticipation of this agreement, we advanced funds totaling $268,000 as of June 30, 2011.
 
We are also a party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and other benefits, including severance payments under specified circumstances.
 
As of June 30, 2011, except for the clawback liability recorded for the two Trapeza entities 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 is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and cost and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the provision for credit losses, recovery of deferred tax assets, fair value of investment securities, potential impairment of goodwill, guarantees and certain accrued liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
For a detailed discussion on the application of policies critical to our business operations and other accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010, at Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
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 June 30, 2011.  Our analysis does not consider other possible effects that could impact our business.
 
Corporate
 
At June 30, 2011, we have two secured revolving credit facilities and one term loan for general business use.  Weighted average borrowings on these facilities were $12.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 at an interest rate of 6.6% on outstanding borrowings.  A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate on these facilities would change our annual interest expense by $89,000.
 
Our $18.8 million of 12% Senior Notes are at a fixed rate of interest and are, therefore, not subject to interest rate fluctuation.
 
Commercial Finance
 
Market risk is the risk of losses arising from changes in values of financial instruments. We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates and our earnings may fluctuate with changes in interest rates. The lease assets we originate are almost entirely fixed-rate. Accordingly, we seek to finance these assets with fixed interest rate debt.
 
At June 30, 2011, we had commercial finance debt outstanding of $150.0 million, of which $70.0 million is at a variable interest rate.  Accordingly, to mitigate interest rate risk on the variable rate debt, we employed a hedging strategy using derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, which effectively fixed the interest rate on this facility at 4.84% on a weighted average basis.  At June 30, 2011, the notional amounts of our two interest rate swaps were $57.0 million. The interest rate swap agreements terminate on March 15, 2015.

 
The following sensitivity analysis table shows the estimated impact of changes in interest rates on the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and liabilities at June 30, 2011, gross of accrued interest of $22,000, assuming that rates instantaneously fall 100 basis points and rise 100 basis points (dollars in thousands):
 
   
Interest rates fall 100 basis points
   
Unchanged
   
Interest rates rise 100 basis points
 
Hedging instruments:
                 
Fair value
    (891)        (190)       697  
Change in fair value
    (701)               887  
Change as percent of fair value
      369%                    467%  
 
It is important to note that the impact of changing interest rates on fair value can change significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could increase significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the yield curve, market expectations as to future interest rate changes and other market conditions. Accordingly, in the event of changes in actual interest rates, the change in the fair value of our assets would likely differ from that shown above and such difference might be material and adverse to our partners.
 
As a result of the LEAF transaction in January 2011, we consolidate LEAF Funding 3 with its related fixed rate leases and loans and $93.3 million of equipment-backed notes.  These notes were issued at a fixed rate of interest and are, therefore, not subject to interest rate fluctuation.
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Other than the changes discussed below that were made in the third fiscal quarter of 2011, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Remediation of Material Weakness
 
As described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, management identified various remedial steps to be implemented with respect to an identified material weakness relating to our deferred income tax reporting.  We designed our remediation efforts, as outlined in the Annual Report, to address the material weakness identified by management and to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.  Through June 30, 2011, we have taken the following steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting, as follows:
 
 
adjusted the amount of deferred taxes related to restricted stock compensation expense; and
 
 
commenced the implementation of improved procedures for the calculation and reconciliation process of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, including validation of underlying supporting data;
 
Management believes that when completed, these new control processes and procedures will remediate the material weakness in its disclosure controls and procedures over deferred income taxes in the future.
