        <footnote id="F1">This amended Form 3 is being filed to correct the reporting of Centerline Holding Company's (the ?Company?) beneficial ownership in Table 1.  Due to a clerical error, the original Form 3 filed on July 31, 2007 (the ?Original Form 3?), mistakenly recorded the Company as owning 922,129 common shares instead of 925,929.  These 925,929 common shares include the 635,628 common shares set forth in Table II pf the Original Form 3 that the Company will receive upon conversion of 280,000 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares that it owns.  The Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible at any time, at the holder's election, and have no expiration date.</footnote>
