NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS − (Continued)

JUNE 30, 2007

(Unaudited)

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates affecting the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the fair values of the Company’s investments and derivatives and the estimated life used to calculate amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, respectively, on investments.

Income Taxes

For financial reporting purposes, current and deferred taxes are provided for on the portion of earnings recognized by the Company with respect to its interest in Resource TRS, a domestic TRS, because it is taxed as a regular subchapter C corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Resource TRS recognized a $171,000 and $67,000, respectively, provision for income taxes.

Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, the Company’s foreign TRSs are organized as exempted companies incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and are generally exempt from federal and state income tax at the corporate level because their activities in the United States are limited to trading in stock and securities for their own account. Therefore, despite their status as TRSs, they generally will not be subject to corporate tax on their earnings and no provision for income taxes is required; however, because they are “controlled foreign corporations,” the Company will generally be required to include Apidos CDO I’s, Apidos CDO III’s and Apidos Cinco CDO’s current taxable income in its calculation of REIT taxable income.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

At June 30, 2007, all of the Company’s loans were current with respect to the scheduled payments of principal and interest. In reviewing the portfolio of loans and the observable secondary market prices, the Company did not identify any loans that exhibit characteristics indicating that permanent impairment has occurred. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2007, the Company had not recorded an allowance for loan losses.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment.” Issuances of restricted stock and options are accounted for using the fair value based methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123(R) whereby the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and expensed monthly in stockholders’ equity through an increase to additional paid-in capital and an offsetting entry to equity compensation expense – related party on the consolidated statements of income. For issuances to the Company’s Manager and to non-employees, the unvested stock and options are adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in fair value as performance under the agreement is completed. For issuance to the Company’s five non-employee directors, the amount is not remeasured under the fair value-based method. The compensation for each of these issuances is amortized over the service period and included in equity compensation expense.

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

Variable Interest Entities

During July 2005, the Company entered into warehouse and master participation agreements with an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) providing that Citigroup would fund the purchase of loans by Apidos CDO III. On May 9, 2006, the Company terminated its Apidos CDO III warehouse agreement with Citigroup upon the closing of the CDO. The warehouse funding liability was replaced with the issuance of long-term debt by Apidos CDO III. The Company owns 100% of the equity issued by Apidos CDO III and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company consolidated Apidos CDO III at June 30, 2007.

During January 2007, the Company entered into warehouse agreement with an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, (“CS”) providing that CS would fund the purchase of bank loans by Apidos Cinco CDO. On May 30, 2007, the Company terminated its Apidos Cinco CDO warehouse agreement with CS upon the closing of the CDO. The warehouse facility liability was replaced with the issuance of long-term debt by Apidos Cinco CDO. The Company owns 100% of the equity issued by Apidos Cinco CDO and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company consolidated Apidos Cinco CDO at June 30, 2007.

Accounting for Certain Mortgage-Backed Securities and Related Repurchase Agreements

In certain circumstances, the Company has purchased debt investments from a counterparty and subsequently financed the acquisition of those debt investments through repurchase agreements with the same counterparty. The Company’s policy is to currently record the acquisition of the debt investments as assets and the related repurchase agreements as financing liabilities gross on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income earned on the debt investments and interest expense incurred on the repurchase obligations are reported gross on the consolidated statements of income. However, under a certain technical interpretation of SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets,” such transactions may not qualify as a purchase. Management of the Company believes, based upon its determination that the method it has adopted is industry practice, that it is accounting for these transactions in an appropriate manner. However, the result of this technical interpretation would prevent the Company from presenting the debt investments and repurchase agreements and the related interest income and interest expense on a gross basis on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Instead, the Company would present the net investment in these transactions with the counterparty as a derivative with the corresponding change in fair value of the derivative being recorded through earnings. The value of the derivative would reflect changes in the value of the underlying debt investments and changes in the value of the underlying credit provided by the counterparty. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had no transactions in mortgage-backed securities where debt instruments were financed with the same counterparty. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had one transaction where debt instruments were financed with the same counterparty.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities − Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements − (Continued)

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands the disclosure of fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently determining the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of SFAS 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by creating a framework for how companies should recognize, measure, present and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions that they have taken or expect to take in a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash consists of $91.9 million of uninvested proceeds, an interest reserve and principal and interest payments collected on investments held in six c onsolidated CDO trusts, a $6.7 million credit facility reserve used to fund future investments that will be acquired by the Company’s three closed bank loan CDO trusts and three expense reserves totaling $200,000 used to cover CDO operating expenses. The remaining $3.7 million consists of interest reserves and security deposits held in connection with the Company’s equipment lease and loan portfolio.

The temporary impairment of the securities classified as available-for-sale results from the fair value of the securities falling below their amortized cost basis and is primarily attributed to changes in interest rates and market conditions. The Company intends and has the ability to hold the securities until the fair value of the securities held is recovered, which may be maturity. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized $787,000 of other-than-temporary impairment related to two securities. As a result of the impairment charge, the cost of these securities was written down to fair value as of June 30, 2007. The Company does not believe that any other of its securities classified as available-for-sale were other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2007.

The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a subjective process, and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization. The Company reviews its portfolios monthly and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment is made at least quarterly. The Company considers the following factors when determining if there is an other-than-temporary impairment on a security:

the length of time the market value has been less than amortized cost;

the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value;

the severity of the impairment;

the expected loss of the security as generated by third party software; and

credit ratings from the rating agencies.

These CDO transactions are structured for the Company by the Manager; however, the Manager is not separately compensated by the Company for these transactions. In addition, the Company may reimburse the Manager and RAI for expenses for employees of RAI who perform legal, accounting, due diligence and other services that outside professional or consultants would otherwise perform.

Relationship with Law Firm

Until 1996, the Company’s Chairman, Edward Cohen, was of counsel to Ledgewood Law Firm. The Company paid Ledgewood approximately $152,000 and $252,000 for legal services during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $91,000 and $289,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Mr. Cohen receives certain debt service payments from Ledgewood related to the termination of his affiliation with Ledgewood and its redemption of his interest.

NOTE 12 – DISTRIBUTIONS

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income. In addition, the Company must distribute 100% of its taxable income in order not to be subject to corporate federal income taxes on retained income. The Company anticipates it will distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses (such as depreciation), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its distributions or, alternatively, may be required to borrow to make sufficient distribution payments.

On June 18, 2007, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.41 per share of common stock, $10.3 million in the aggregate, which was paid on July 17, 2007 to stockholders of record as of June 29, 2007.

On March 20, 2007, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.39 per share of common stock, $9.7 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 16, 2007 to stockholders of record as of March 30, 2007.

On January 13, 2006, the Company paid a special dividend to stockholders of record on January 4, 2006, including holders of restricted stock, consisting of warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. Stockholders received one warrant for each ten shares of common stock and restricted stock held. If an existing stockholder owned shares in other than a ten-share increment, the stockholder received an additional warrant. The warrants will expire on January 13, 2009 and became exercisable on January 13, 2007. An aggregate of 1,568,244 shares were issuable upon exercise of the warrants, of which 374,529 shares have been issued as of June 30, 2007. Upon exercise of warrants, new shares are issued.

NOTE 13 – INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The primary market risk to the Company is interest rate risk. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond the Company’s control. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with the interest-bearing liabilities, by affecting the spread between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the level of interest rates also can affect the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets and the Company’s ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets. A decline in the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets pledged as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels.

The Company seeks to manage the extent to which net income changes as a function of changes in interest rates by matching adjustable-rate assets with variable-rate borrowings. During periods of changing interest rates, interest rate mismatches could negatively impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows. In addition, the Company mitigates the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime coupon adjustment restrictions in its investment portfolio by entering into interest rate hedging agreements such as interest rate caps and interest rate swaps.

At June 30, 2007, the Company had 20 interest rate swap contracts and three forward interest rate swap contracts. The Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.37% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR on the interest rate swap contracts. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $287.1 million. The Company will pay an average fixed rate of 5.25% and receive a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR on the forward interest rate swap contracts, of which $42.4 million of the aggregate notional amount became effective in July 2007. In addition, the Company had one interest rate cap agreement outstanding whereby it reduced its exposure to variability in future cash outflows attributable to changes in LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of this contract was $15.0 million at June 30, 2007.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had 12 interest swap contracts and five forward interest rate swap contracts. The Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.33% and received a variable rate equal to one-month and three-month LIBOR on the interest rate swap contracts. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $150.9 million. The Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.19% and received a variable rate equal to one-month and three-month LIBOR on the forward interest rate swap contracts, which commenced in February 2007. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $74.0 million. In addition, the Company had one interest rate cap agreement outstanding whereby it reduced its exposure to variability in future cash outflows attributable to changes in LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of this contract was $15.0 million at December 31, 2006.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps, forward swaps and interest rate cap was $158,000 and $(3.1) million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized gains of $2.3 million and aggregate unrealized losses of $3.2 million on the interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreement, as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

NOTE 13 – INTEREST RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS − (Continued)

Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of mortgage principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on mortgage-backed securities in the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company seeks to mitigate the effect of changes in the mortgage principal repayment rate by balancing assets purchased at a premium with assets purchased at a discount. At June 30, 2007, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s mortgage-backed securities by approximately $4.9 million. At December 31, 2006, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s mortgage-backed securities by approximately $3.1 million.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 13, 2007, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC covering the common stock underlying the warrants it issued on January 13, 2006 as a dividend to the Company’s stockholders.

On July 26, 2007, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to buy back up to 2.5 million outstanding shares.

Overview

We are a specialty finance company that focuses primarily on commercial real estate and commercial finance. We qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategy. We invest in a combination of real estate-related assets and, to a lesser extent, higher-yielding commercial finance assets. We finance a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through borrowing strategies seeking to match the maturities and repricing dates of our financings with the maturities and repricing dates of those investments, and to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments. Future distributions and capital appreciation are not guaranteed, however, and we have only limited operating history and REIT experience upon which you can base an assessment of our ability to achieve our objectives.

We generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive from our assets and the cost to finance the purchase of those assets and hedge interest rate risks. We generate revenues from the interest we earn on our whole loans, A notes, B notes, mezzanine debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, residential mortgage-backed securities, or ABS-RMBS, other asset-backed securities, or ABS, bank loans, REIT trust preferred securities, or REIT TRUPS, and payments on equipment leases and notes. We use a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns and we finance each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage. The cost of borrowings to finance our investments comprises a significant part of our expenses. Our net income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue. In our ABS-RMBS, CMBS, other ABS, REIT TRUPS, bank loans and equipment leases and notes, we use warehouse facilities as a short-term financing source and collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as a long-term financing source. In our commercial real estate loan portfolio, we use repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source, and CDOs and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as a long-term financing source. We expect that our other term financing will consist of long-term match-funded financing provided through long-term bank financing and asset-backed financing programs.

Recently, the credit markets in the United States and elsewhere have been subject to substantial volatility and reduction in liquidity, principally as a result of conditions in the residential mortgage sector, particularly in the sub-prime sector. To the date of this report, our ability to use the funding available to us under existing credit facilities has not been materially affected, nor have our lenders indicated that they intend to restrict our ability to use the funding available under such facilities. We discuss funding availability in “− Borrowings,” below. We anticipate, however, that obtaining long-term CDO financing for future asset acquisitions may be more difficult than it has been in the past and, if successful, the terms may be less favorable than what was previously available to us. This may affect our ability to sustain our historical asset in income growth. Current market conditions also have, as discussed in “-Stockholders’ Equity” below, reduced the value of our interest in one CDO investment and, if they persist, may further affect the value of this investment and that of other of our investments, which could reduce our book value and earnings.

(Back to Index)

On December 20, 2006, we received net proceeds of $93.0 million from our follow-on offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock and we received net proceeds of $10.1 million on January 8, 2007 on the sale of an additional 650,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option.

As of June 30, 2007, we had invested 71.3% of our portfolio in commercial real estate-related assets, 7.1% in ABS-RMBS and 21.6% in commercial finance assets. As of December 31, 2006, we had invested 77.2% of our portfolio in commercial real estate-related assets, 7.4% in ABS-RMBS and 15.4% in commercial finance assets. If we are unable to maintain the credit quality of our portfolio, however, our earnings may decrease. Because the amount of leverage we intend to use will vary by asset class, our asset allocation may not reflect the relative amounts of equity capital we have invested in the respective classes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following represents our most critical accounting policies and estimates. For a complete list of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Securities Available-for-Sale

SFAS No. 115, ‘‘Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” requires us to classify our investment portfolio as either trading investments, available-for-sale investments or held-to-maturity investments. Although we generally plan to hold most of our investments to maturity, we may, from time to time, sell any of our investments due to changes in market conditions or in accordance with our investment strategy. Accordingly, SFAS 115 requires us to classify all of our investment securities as available-for sale. All investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, based on market prices provided by dealers, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

We evaluate our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary impairment charges under SFAS 115, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 03-1, ‘‘The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments.’’ SFAS 115 and EITF 03-1 require an investor to determine when an investment is considered impaired (i.e., a decline in fair value below its amortized cost), evaluate whether that impairment is other than temporary (i.e., the investment value will not be recovered over its remaining life), and, if the impairment is other than temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. SFAS 115 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB staff position (“FSP”) 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments,” which replaces the guidance for impairment evaluation. We have adopted FSP SFAS No. 115-1 as required.

Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Purchases of newly issued securities are recorded when all significant uncertainties regarding the characteristics of the securities are removed, generally shortly before settlement date. Realized gains and losses on investment securities are determined on the specific identification method.

Derivative Instruments

Our policies permit us to enter into derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. We designate these transactions as cash flow hedges. We evaluate the contracts or hedge instruments at inception and at subsequent balance sheet dates to determine if they qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 133 requires that we recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. We record changes in the fair value of the derivative in other comprehensive income to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

(Back to Index)

Interest Income Recognition

We accrue interest income on our mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities using the effective yield method based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal amount of the underlying mortgages or other assets. We amortize or accrete premiums and discounts into interest income over the lives of the securities also using the effective yield method (or a method that approximates effective yield), adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments based on SFAS No. 91, ‘‘Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.’’ For an investment purchased at par, the effective yield is the contractual interest rate on the investment. If we purchase the investment at a discount or at a premium, we compute the effective yield based on the contractual interest rate increased for the accretion of a purchase discount or decreased for the amortization of a purchase premium. The effective yield method requires us to make estimates of future prepayment rates for our investments that can be contractually prepaid before their contractual maturity date so that the purchase discount can be accreted, or the purchase premium can be amortized, over the estimated remaining life of the investment. The prepayment estimates that we use directly impact the estimated remaining lives of our investments. We review actual prepayment estimates as of each quarter end or more frequently if we become aware of any material information that would lead us to believe that an adjustment is necessary. If prepayment estimates are incorrect, we may have to adjust the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts, which would have an impact on future income.

Loan Interest Income Recognition

Interest income on loans includes interest at stated rates adjusted for amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts, as discussed in “- Interest Income Recognition.” When we purchase a loan or pool of loans at a discount, we consider the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position (‘‘SOP’’) 03-3 ‘‘Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer’’ to evaluate whether all or a portion of the discount represents accretable yield. If a loan with a premium or discount is prepaid, we immediately recognize the unamortized portion as a decrease or increase to interest income. In addition, we defer loan origination fees and loan origination costs and recognizes them over the life of the related loan against interest using the effective yield method.

Results of Operations − Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 as compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Our net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $9.8 million, or $0.40 per weighted average common share-basic ($0.39 per weighted average common share-diluted) and $19.3 million, or $0.78 per weighted average common share-basic ($0.77 per weighted average common share-diluted), respectively, as compared to $6.1 million, or $0.35 per weighted average common share-basic ($0.34 per weighted average common share-diluted) and $11.2 million, or $0.66 per weighted average common share-basic ($0.65 per weighted average common share-diluted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Interest Income − Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 as compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Interest income increased $8.5 million (25%) and $19.1 million (30%) to $43.4 million and $83.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from $34.9 million and $64.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest Income from Loans

Interest income from loans increased $17.0 million (108%) and $36.3 million (136%) to $32.7 million and $63.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 from $15.7 million and $26.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Bank loans generated $17.5 million and $33.1 million of interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $10.5 million and $18.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively an increase of $7.0 million (67%) and $15.1 million (84%). These increases resulted primarily from the following:

The acquisition of $132.6 million and $206.5 of bank loans (net of principal repayments and sales of $62.0 million and $134.2 million) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily for the accumulation of assets for Apidos CDO III which closed in May 2006. These loans were held for the entire three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

The acquisition of an additional $334.6 million of bank loans (net of principal repayments and sales of $486.3 million) since June 30, 2006 primarily from Apidos Cinco CDO which began accumulating assets in January 2007.

The increase of the weighted average interest rate on these loans to 7.50% and 7.52% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from 7.22% and 7.01% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the LIBOR rate.

Commercial real estate loans produced $15.2 million and $29.9 million of interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $5.2 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $10.0 million (192%) and $21.2 million (243%), respectively. These increase resulted from the following:

The acquisitions of $80.5 million and $121.3 million of commercial real estate loans (net of principal repayments and sales of $16.5 million) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, which were held for the entire three months ended June 30, 2007.

The acquisition of $537.7 million of commercial real estate loans (net of principal repayments and sales of $236.9 million) since June 30, 2006.

A $505,000 acceleration of loan origination fees as a result of loan sales that we booked as part of interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Interest Income - Leasing

Our equipment leasing portfolio generated $1.9 million and $3.8 million of interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $604,000 (47%) and $2.0 million (111%), respectively. This increase resulted from the following:

The acquisition of $16.4 million and $54.1 million of equipment leases and notes (net of principal payments and sales of $3.4 million and $8.0 million) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, which were held for the entire three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

The increase in the weighted average interest rate on these leases to 8.68% and 8.71% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from 8.13% and 8.44% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

(Back to Index)

Interest Income - Other

The increase in interest income was offset by a decrease in interest income - other. Interest income - other decreased to $910,000 (51%) and $1.3 million (61%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $1.8 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. This was due to interest rate swap agreements which generated $55,000 and $33,000 of interest income a decrease of $1.4 million (96%) and $2.6 million (99%) from $1.5 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. This was primarily the result of the termination of swaps related to our agency ABS-RMBS portfolio which was sold on October 2, 2006.

Interest Income from Securities Available-for-Sale

The increase in total interest income was also offset by a decrease in interest income from securities available-for-sale. Interest income from securities available-for-sale decreased $8.1 million (51%) and $17.2 million (53%) to $7.9 million and $15.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from $16.1 million and $32.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Our agency ABS-RMBS portfolio generated $9.4 million and $19.6 million of interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. No interest income from this portfolio was generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the sale of $125.4 million of such securities in January 2006 and the sale of the remaining $753.1 million of these securities in September 2006.

This decrease was offset by the following:

Contribution from non-agency ABS-RMBS of $6.3 million and $12.6 million of interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $5.9 million and $11.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $372,000 (6%) and $1.3 million (11%), respectively. This increase resulted primarily from the increase of the weighted average interest rate on these securities to 6.94% and 6.95% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from 6.59% and 6.37% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

CMBS-private placement contributed $832,000 and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to the accumulation of securities in this portfolio beginning in December 2006. We held no such securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest expense increased $3.7 million (14%) and $9.3 million (19%) to $30.2 million and $57.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. respectively, from $26.5 million and $47.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest expense on commercial real estate loans was $8.1 million and $14.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $2.7 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $5.4 million (203%) and $10.1 million (226%), respectively. This increase resulted primarily from the following:

We closed our first commercial real estate loan CDO, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, in August 2006. Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 issued $308.7 million of senior notes at par consisting of several classes with floating rates ranging from one-month LIBOR plus 0.32% to one-month LIBOR plus 3.75% and fixed rates ranging from 5.84% to 6.00%. Prior to August 10, 2006 we financed these commercial real estate loans primarily with repurchase agreements. We continued to finance the growth of our commercial real estate loan portfolio after the closing of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 through repurchase agreements and closed our second commercial real estate loan CDO, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1 in June 2007. Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1 issued $408.8 million of senior notes at par consisting of several classes with floating rates ranging from one-month LIBOR plus 0.28% to one-month LIBOR plus 3.25% and fixed rates ranging from 6.42% to 8.50%. We continue to finance the growth of our commercial real estate loan portfolio with repurchase agreements for loans that are not long-term match-funded. The increase in expense is in part related to the growth of this portfolio. The weighted average balance for the three and six

months ended June 30, 2007 was $496,000 and $451,000, respectively as compared to $168,000 and $146,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

The increase of the weighted average interest rate on these borrowings to 6.23% and 6.24% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from 6.21% and 5.97% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, due to an increase in LIBOR rate at June 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2006. This increase was partially offset by lower weighted average spreads, as a result of the closing of our CDOs and obtaining long-term match funding.

We amortized $244,000 and $474,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to the CDO and repurchase facility financings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $24,000 and $65,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Interest expense on bank loans was $13.3 million and $25.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $7.8 million and $13.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $5.5 million (70%), and $11.9 million (90%), respectively. This increase resulted primarily from the following:

As a result of the continued acquisitions of bank loans after the closing of Apidos CDO III, we financed our third bank loan CDO (Apidos Cinco CDO) in May 2007. Apidos CDO Cinco issued $322.0 million of senior notes into several classes with floating rates ranging from three-month LIBOR plus 0.23% to three-month LIBOR plus 4.25%.We used Apidos CDO Cinco proceeds to repay borrowings under a warehouse facility which had a balance at the time of repayment of $311.1 million.The weighted average interest rate on the senior notes and warehouse line was 5.92% and 5.93% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. No such debt existed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

In May 2006, Apidos CDO III issued $262.5 million of senior notes into several classes with floating rates ranging from three-month LIBOR plus 0.26% to three-month LIBOR plus 4.25%. We used the Apidos CDO III proceeds to repay borrowings under a warehouse facility which had a balance at the time of repayment of $222.6 million.

The weighted average interest rate on the senior notes was 5.80% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 5.51% and 5.29% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 on the warehouse facility and on the notes. The warehouse facility began accumulating assets in July 2006.

In August 2005, Apidos CDO I issued $321.5 million of senior notes consisting of several classes with floating rates ranging from three-month LIBOR plus 0.26% to three-month LIBOR plus 1.85% and a fixed rate of 9.25%. The weighted average interest rate on the senior notes was 5.81% for the three month and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to 5.44% and 5.18% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

The weighted average balance of debt related to bank loans increased to $881.1 million and $830.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from $550.7 million and $487.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

We amortized $272,000 and $503,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to the CDO financings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $200,000 and $329,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS, which we refer to collectively as ABS, were pooled and financed by Ischus CDO II. Interest expense related to these obligations was $5.7 million and $11.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $5.3 million and $10.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $326,000 (6%) and $1.1 million (11%). This increase resulted primarily from the an increase in weighted average interest rate on the senior notes issued by Ischus CDO II which was 5.80% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to 5.47% and 5.24% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Interest expense on CMBS-private placement was $472,000 and $811,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to the accumulation of securities in this portfolio beginning in December 2006. There were no such assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest expense on leasing activities was $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $938,000 and $948,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $463,000 (49%) and $1.9 million (197%), respectively. These increases resulted from increase in the amount of direct financing leases and notes we acquired and the related financing after March 31, 2006 and through June 30, 2007. The assets were acquired with cash until the facility closed on March 31, 2006 when we entered into a secured term facility.

General interest expense was $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $339,000 and $467,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, an increase of $935,000 (276%) and $2.1 million (445%), respectively. These increases resulted from an increase of $999,000 and $2.2 million in expenses on our unsecured junior subordinated debentures held by unconsolidated trusts that issued trust preferred securities which were not issued until May 2006 and September 2006, respectively.

These increases in interest expense were offset by a decrease of $9.4 million and $18.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 in interest expense related to the agency ABS-RMBS portfolio as a result of the sale and pay down of debt on our agency ABS-RMBS portfolio in January and September 2006, respectively.

Net Realized (Losses) Gains on Investments

Net realized losses on investments increased $797,000 (495%) to $636,000 from a gain of $161,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to a $787,000 other-than-temporary impairment loss taken on two assets in our ABS-RMBS portfolio. There was no such loss for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Net realized losses on investments increased $28,000 (5%) to $566,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from a loss of $538,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Realized losses during the six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted primarily of a $787,000 other-than-temporary impairment loss taken on two assets in our ABS-RMBS portfolio, $113,000 of net realized gains on the sale of bank loans and $60,000 of net realized gains related to the early termination of equipment leases. Realized losses during the six months ended June 30, 2006 consisted of a $1.4 million of losses on our agency ABS-RMBS portfolio, $303,000 of net realized gains on the sale of bank loans and $570,000 of gains related to the early termination of two equipment leases.

Non-Investment Expenses

Management fee–related party increased $790,000 (64%) and $1.8 million (82%) to $2.0 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. These amounts represent compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement. The base management fees increased by $379,000 (41%) and $786,000 (44%) to $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $918,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. This increase was due to increased equity as a result of our public offerings in February and December 2006 and the January 2007 exercise of the over-allotment option that was part of the December 2006 follow-on offering. Incentive management fees increased by $411,000 (129%) and $1.0 million (241%) to $730,000 and $1.5 million from $319,000 and $432,000, as a result of an increase of $4.1 million and $8.9 million in our adjusted GAAP income, as defined in the management agreement, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2006, respectively. This was partially offset by an increase during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 in two measures used in the formula calculating the incentive management fee: weighted average common shares and weighted average offering price per share.

Equity compensation–related party decreased $103,000 (43%) and $199,000 (24%) to $137,000 and $623,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $240,000 and $822,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. These expenses relate to the amortization of the March 8, 2005 grant of restricted common stock to the Manager, the March 8, 2005, 2006 and 2007 grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, the March 8, 2005 grant of options to the Manager to purchase common stock, the January 5, 2007 grant of restricted stock to several employees of Resource America, Inc., or RAI, who provide investment management services to us and a June 27, 2007 grant of performance shares to two employees of RAI. The decreases in expense were primarily the result of the vesting of two thirds of the stock and options related to the March 8, 2005 grants of restricted stock and options to the manager on March 8, 2006 and March 8, 2007 as well as an adjustment related to our quarterly remeasurement of unvested stock and options granted to the Manager to reflect changes in the fair value of our common stock. This was offset by expense related to the January 5, 2007 and January 27, 2007 grants.

Professional services increased $71,000 (15%) and $447,000 (57%) to $540,000 and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $469,000 and $785,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, due to the following:

a $40,000 decrease and a $122,000 increase in audit and tax fees for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to the timing of when the services were performed and billed;

an increase of $38,000 and $193,000 in LEAF servicing expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to the increase in managed assets in the six months ended June 30, 2007;

an increase of $30,000 and $48,000 in fees associated with our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively; and

a $36,000 and $79,000 increase in trustee fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to the closing of Apidos CDO III in May 2006. There was only one month of expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to three and six months of expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. In addition, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Apidos CDO Cinco, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1 all closed subsequent to June 30, 2006 and, therefore, we had no trustee fee expenses for them for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

General and administrative expenses decreased $58,000 (14%) and increased $130,000 (17%) to $350,000 and $907,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $408,000 and $778,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. These expenses include expense reimbursements to our Manager, rating agency expenses and all other operating costs incurred. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily was the result of an increase of $171,000 in income tax expense related to Resource TRS, our taxable REIT subsidiary. Resource TRS had no taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Income Taxes

We do not pay federal income tax on income we distribute to our stockholders, subject to our compliance with REIT qualification requirements. However, Resource TRS, our domestic TRS, is taxed as a regular subchapter C corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Resource TRS recognized a $26,000 and $171,000 provision for income taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we did not conduct any of our operations through Resource TRS.

In the aggregate, we purchased our ABS-RMBS portfolio at a discount. The remaining discounts (net of premium) to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $2.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our ABS-RMBS were valued below par, in the aggregate, because of wide credit spreads during the respective periods. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair market value.

Bank Loans

At June 30, 2007, we held a total of $936.6 million of bank loans at fair value, all of which are held by and secure the debt issued by Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO. This is an increase of $322.8 million over our holdings at December 31, 2006. The increase in total bank loans was principally due to the accumulation of bank loans for Apidos Cinco CDO. We own 100% of the equity issued by Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO which we have determined are variable interest entities, or VIEs and are, therefore, deemed to be their primary beneficiaries. See “-Variable Interest Entities.” As a result, we consolidated Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO as of June 30, 2007.

Variable Interest Entities

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Financial Interpretation No., or FIN, 46-R which addresses the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to a VIE, and requires that the assets, liabilities and results of operations of a VIE be consolidated into the financial statements of the enterprise that has a controlling financial interest in it. The interpretation provides a framework for determining whether an entity should be evaluated for consolidation based on voting interests or significant financial support provided to the entity which we refer to as variable interests. We consider all counterparties to a transaction to determine whether a counterparty is a VIE and, if so, whether our involvement with the entity results in a variable interest in the entity. We perform analyses to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2007, we determined that Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, Ischus CDO II, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO were VIEs and that we were the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. We own 100% of the equity interests of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, Ischus CDO II, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III. As a result of the application of FIN 46-R, we consolidated $2.0 billion of assets for these entities onto our balance sheet; however, only our initial equity investments in these VIEs, amounting to $295.9 million as of June 30, 2007, is available to our creditors.

Borrowings

Repurchase Agreements

We have entered into repurchase agreements to finance our commercial real estate loans and CMBS-private placement portfolio. These agreements are secured by the financed assets and bear interest rates that have historically moved in close relationship to LIBOR. At June 30, 2007, we had established 11 borrowing arrangements with various financial institutions and had utilized six of these arrangements, principally our arrangement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, the initial purchaser and placement agent for our March 2005 offering and one of the underwriters in our two public offerings. None of the counterparties to these agreements are affiliates of the Manager or us.

In April 2007, RCC Real Estate SPE 3, LLC, entered into a master repurchase agreement with Natixis Real Estate Capital, Inc. to finance the purchase of commercial real estate loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The maximum amount of our borrowings under the repurchase agreement is $150.0 million. The financing provided by the agreement matures April 18, 2010 subject to a one-year extension at the option of RCC Real Estate SPE 3 and subject further to the right of RCC Real Estate SPE 3 to repurchase the assets held in the facility earlier. We paid a facility fee of 0.75% of the maximum facility amount, or $1.2 million, at closing. In addition, once the borrowings exceed a weighted average undrawn balance of $75.0 million for the prior 90 day period, we will be required to pay a Non-Usage Fee equal to the product of (i) 0.15% per annum multiplied by, (ii) the weighted average undrawn balance during the prior 90 day period. Each repurchase transaction specifies its own terms, such as identification of the assets subject to the transaction, sales price, repurchase price, rate and term. We guarantee RCC Real Estate SPE 3, LLC’s obligations under the repurchase agreement to a maximum of $150.0 million. At June 30, 2007, we had borrowed $44.1 million, all of which was guaranteed, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.53%.

We seek to renew the repurchase agreements we use to finance asset acquisitions as they mature under the then-applicable borrowing terms of the counterparties to our repurchase agreements. Through June 30, 2007, we have encountered no difficulties in effecting renewals of our repurchase agreements.

At June 30, 2007, we have complied, to the best of our knowledge, with all of our financial covenants under our debt agreements.

Collaterized Debt Obligations

As of June 30, 2007, we had closed six CDO transactions as follows:

In June 2007, we closed Resource Real Estate CDO 2007-1, a $500.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans. The investments held by Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1 collateralized $390.0 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle, of which RCC Real Estate, Inc., or RCC Real Estate, purchased 100% of the class H senior notes (rated BBB+:Fitch), class K senior notes (rated BBB-:Fitch), class L senior notes (rated BB:Fitch) and class M senior notes (rated B:Fitch) for $68.0 million. In addition, Resource Real Estate Funding 2007-1 CDO Investor, LLC, a subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased a $41.3 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At June 30, 2007, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.93%.

Trust Preferred Securities

In May and September 2006, we formed Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities. In accordance with FIN 46-R, Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II are not consolidated into our consolidated financial statements because we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust. We own 100% of the common shares of each trust, each of which issued $25.0 million of preferred shares to unaffiliated investors. Our rights as the holder of the common shares of each trust are subordinate to the rights of the holders of preferred shares only in the event of a default; otherwise, our economic and voting rights are pari passu with the preferred shareholders. We record each of our investments in the trusts’ common shares of $774,000 as an investment in unconsolidated entities and record dividend income upon declaration by each trust.

In connection with the issuance and sale of the trust preferred securities, we issued $25.8 million principal amount of junior subordinated debentures to each of Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II. The junior subordinated debentures debt issuance costs are deferred in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. We record interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures and amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of income. At June 30, 2007, the junior subordinated debentures had a weighted average borrowing rate of 9.31%.

Warehouse Facility

In January 2007, we formed Apidos Cinco CDO and began borrowing on a warehouse facility provided by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to purchase bank loans. At May 30, 2007, $311.1 million was outstanding under the facility. On May 30, 2007, we terminated our Apidos Cinco CDO warehouse agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and the warehouse funding liability was replaced with the issuance of long-term debt by Apidos Cinco CDO.

Term Facility

In March 2006, we entered into a secured term credit facility with Bayerische Hypo–und Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch to finance the purchase of equipment leases and notes. The maximum amount of our borrowing under this facility is $100.0 million. At June 30, 2007, $80.9 million was outstanding under the facility. The facility bears interest at one of two rates, determined by asset class. The weighted average borrowing rate was 6.32% at June 30, 2007.

Credit Facility

In December 2005, we entered into a $15.0 million corporate credit facility with Commerce Bank, N.A., or Commerce Bank. This facility was increased to $25.0 million in April 2006. The unsecured revolving credit facility permits us to borrow up to the lesser of the facility amount and the sum of 80% of the sum of our unsecured assets rated higher than Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by Standard and Poor’s plus our interest receivables plus 65% of our unsecured assets rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s and BBB- from Standard and Poor’s. Up to 20% of the borrowings under the facility may be in the form of standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility. The interest rate varies, in the case of LIBOR loans, from the adjusted LIBOR rate (as defined in the agreement) plus between 1.50% to 2.50% depending upon our leverage ratio (the ratio of consolidated total liabilites to consolidated tangible net worth) or, in the case of base rate loans, from Commerce Bank’s base rate plus between 0.50% and 1.50% also depending upon our leverage ratio.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2007 was $290.6 million and included $52.6 million of net unrealized losses on our ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS portfolio and $1.5 million of unrealized losses on our CMBS-private placement portfolio, which was offset by $2.3 million of unrealized gains on cash flow hedges all of which are shown as components of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2006 was $317.6 million and included $6.0 million of net unrealized losses on our ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS portfolio and $3.2 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The decrease in stockholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was principally due to a decrease of $46.6 million in the unrealized losses in the ABS-RMBS portfolio held by Ischus II CDO. The unrealized losses were due primarily to significant widening in interest rate spreads in the ABS-RMBS market, which produced illiquidity and increased levels of risk premium attached to these types of securities. The Ischus II investment is the only residential mortgage exposure in our portfolio. Our investment and, as a consequence, our risk exposure in Ischus II CDO is limited to our original $27.0 million investment. However, as a result of the application of FIN 46R, we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Ischus II CDO and must consolidate its assets and liabilities with ours. Consequently, $52.6 million of unrealized loss experienced by Ischus II CDO is reflected in our other comprehensive income, notwithstanding that our maximum risk exposure is $27.0 million. We intend and have the ability to hold the securities until the fair value of the securities held is recovered, which may be maturity. At June 30, 2007, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on two of our securities totaling $787,000.

The decrease in the Ischus II portfolio was partially offset by the exercise in January 2007, of the over allotment option of 650,000 shares of common stock related to our December 2006 follow-on offering at a price of $16.50 per share. The option exercise generated net proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.1 million. The decrease in stockholders equity was also offset by the exercise of 374,529 warrants at a price of $15.00 per share during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Fluctuations in market values of assets do not impact our income determined in accordance with GAAP, or our taxable income, but rather are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets by changing the carrying value of the asset and stockholders’ equity under ‘‘Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).’’ By accounting for our assets in this manner, we hope to provide useful information to stockholders and creditors and to preserve flexibility to sell assets in the future without having to change accounting methods.

Estimated REIT Taxable Income

We calculate estimated REIT taxable income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, according to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The following table reconciles net income to estimated REIT taxable income for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30,					June 30,
	2007			2006		2007			2006
Net income	$	9,836		$	6,066	$	19,275		$	11,217
Additions:
Share-based compensation to related parties		(345	)		240		(340	)		822
Incentive management fee expense to related parties paid in shares		231			77		417			108
Capital losses from the sale of securities available-for-sale		−			−		−			1,411
Addback of GAAP loss reserve		856			−		856			−
Other net book to tax adjustments		(60	)		−		(20	)		−
Estimated REIT taxable income	$	10,518		$	6,383	$	20,188		$	13,558

We believe that a presentation of estimated REIT taxable income provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations as this measurement is used to determine the amount of dividends that we are required to declare to our stockholders in order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Since we, as a REIT, expect to make distributions based on taxable earnings, we expect that our distributions may at times be more or less than our reported GAAP earnings. Total taxable income is the aggregate amount of taxable income generated by us and by our domestic and foreign taxable REIT subsidiaries. Estimated REIT taxable income excludes the undistributed taxable income of our domestic taxable REIT subsidiary, if any such income exists, which is not included in REIT taxable income until distributed to us. There is no requirement that our domestic taxable REIT subsidiary distribute its earnings to us. Estimated REIT taxable income, however, includes the taxable income of our foreign taxable REIT subsidiaries because we will generally be required to recognize and report their taxable income on a current basis. We use estimated REIT taxable income for this purpose. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of estimated REIT taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Sources

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our principal sources of funds were CDO financings of $662.0 million, $44.1 million from secured term financings, $34.0 million of repurchase agreement debt, $5.0 million from a commercial real estate credit facility, $10.1 million of net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option related to our December 31, 2006 follow-on offering, and $5.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

Liquidity

Our liquidity needs consist principally of capital needed to make investments, make distributions to our stockholders, pay our operating expenses, including management fees, and the potential implementation of our approved share repurchase plan. 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 obtain debt financing and equity capital. Through June 30, 2007, we did not experience difficulty in obtaining debt financing. We may increase our capital resources through offerings of equity securities (possibly including common stock and one or more classes of preferred stock), CDOs, trust preferred securities or other forms as has been available to us in the past of term financing. Such financing will depend on market conditions. If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on substantially similar terms, we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments. If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such investments, which could result in losses and reduced income.

(Back to Index)

At June 30, 2007, we maintained adequate liquidity. We had $102.5 million of restricted cash in our six CDOs available for investment by them and $51.1 million of cash and available cash from our three year non-recourse secured financing facilities. We also had $550.8 million of unused capacity under our secured financing facilities, $50.0 million available to finance future funding commitments associated with real estate whole loans under RREF CDO-2, $19.1 million of availability under a secured term facility and $10.5 million of unused capacity under a unsecured revolving credit facility.

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we have continued to maintain adequate liquidity. At August 7, 2007, we had $40.5 million of restricted cash in our six CDO’s available for investment by them, and $47.1 million of cash and available cash from our three year non-recourse secured financing facilities. We also had $518.1 million of unused capacity under our secured financing facilities, $43.3 million available to finance future funding commitments associated with real estate whole loans under RREF CDO-2, $16.8 million of availability under a secured term facility and $5.5 million of unused capacity under a unsecured revolving credit facility.

As discussed in “Overview,” above, through the date of this report we have not experience any constraints with respect to our use of our existing credit facilities, nor have any lenders indicated to us that they will impose any such constraints. We expect to continue to borrow funds through secured term non-recourse financing facilities and the use of repayments of commercial real estate loans within our CDO financing vehicles to finance our commercial real estate portfolio and CMBS. We also have the ability under RREF CDO-2 to finance future funding commitments associated with commercial real estate whole loans. We also expect to finance our investments in equipment leases and notes through a dedicated secured term facility. We may use, on a limited basis, repurchase agreement facilities to make investments that do not have access to longer term financing structures, such as CDO’s. We also anticipate that our borrowings under our repurchase agreements will be refinanced through the issuance of CDOs. We remain focused on market conditions and will manage our assets according to our availability to finance them effectively on a long-term basis.

Distributions

On June 18, 2007, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.41 per share of common stock, $10.3 million in the aggregate, which was paid on July 17, 2007. On March 20, 2007, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.39 per share of common stock, $9.7 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 16, 2007.

Leverage

Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the different asset categories and funding strategies we apply. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 our leverage ratio was 7.1 times and 4.6 times, respectively. This increase was primarily from CDO closings and other financings through June 30, 2007.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The table below summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2007. The table below excludes contractual commitments related to our derivatives, which we discuss in our Annual Report on From 10-K for fiscal 2005 in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” and the management agreement that we have with our Manager, which we discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 in Item 1, “Business” and Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” because those contracts do not have fixed and determinable payments.

	Contractual commitments (dollars in thousands)
	Payments due by period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1 – 3 years		3 – 5 years		More than 5 years
Repurchase agreements⁽¹⁾	$	83,072	$	83,072	$	−	$	−	$	−

Total	$	2,078,093	$	88,321	$	−	$	80,935	$	1,908,837

(1)	Includes accrued interest of $43.

(2)	Calculated only for the next 12 months based on our current equity, as defined in our management agreement.

At June 30, 2007, we had 20 interest rate swap contracts and three forward interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $329.5 million. These contracts are fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements under which we contracted to pay a fixed rate of interest for the term of the hedge and will receive a floating rate of interest. As of June 30, 2007, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 5.37% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 5.32%. As of June 30, 2007, the average fixed pay rate of our forward interest rate hedges was 5.25% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR. All of our forward interest rate swap contracts became effective in July 2007.

(Back to Index)

At June 30, 2007, we also had one interest rate cap with a notional value of $15.0 million. This cap reduces our exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in LIBOR.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2007, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities or variable interest entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, as of June 30, 2007, we had not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Recent Developments

On July 13, 2007, we filed a registration statement with the SEC covering the common stock underlying the warrants we issued on January 13, 2006 as a dividend to our stockholders.

On July 26, 2007, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to buy back up to 2.5 million outstanding shares.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the primary component of our market risk was interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.

The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the estimated impact on the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and liabilities of changes in interest rates, assuming rates instantaneously fall 100 basis points and rise 100 basis points (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2007
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged		Interest rates rise 100 basis points
ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS⁽¹⁾
Fair value	$	61,732		$	57,491	$	53,616
Change in fair value	$	4,241		$	−	$	(3,875	)
Change as a percent of fair value		7.38	%		−		6.74	%

Change in fair value	$	(11,589	)	$	−		$	10,048
Change as a percent of fair value		n/m			−			n/m

(1)	Includes the fair value of other available-for-sale investments that are sensitive to interest rate changes.

(2)	The fair value of the repurchase agreements and warehouse agreements would not change materially due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

(Back to Index)

For purposes of the tables, we have excluded our investments with variable interest rates that are indexed to LIBOR. Because the variable rates on these instruments are short-term in nature, we are not subject to material exposure to movements in fair value as a result of changes in interest rates.

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 stockholders.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have partially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter.
