RESOURCE CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS − (Continued)

MARCH 31, 2011

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

The Company has a 100% interest valued at $1.5 million in the common shares (three percent of the total equity) in two trusts, Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“RCT II”). The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of either trust, nor does it have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to these trusts. Therefore, the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust and they are not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts at cost and records dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $882,000 and $875,000, respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures it issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $77,000 and $74,000, respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. The Company will do a continuous reassessment as to whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Investment Securities

The Company classifies its investment portfolio as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The Company, from time to time, may sell any of its investments due to changes in market conditions or in accordance with its investment strategy.

The Company’s investment securities, trading are reported at fair value. To determine fair value, the Company uses dealer quotes or bids which are validated using an income approach utilizing appropriate prepayment, default, and recovery rates. Any changes in fair value are recorded in the Company’s results of operations as net unrealized income (loss) on investment securities, trading.

The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value (see Note 16). To determine fair value, the Company uses two methods, either a dealer quote or an internal valuation model, depending upon the current level of market activity.

For securities with higher levels of market activity, the Company obtains a quote from a dealer, which typically will be the dealer who sold the Company the security. The Company has been advised that, in formulating their quotes, dealers may use recent trades in the particular security, if any, market activity in similar securities, if any, or internal valuation models. These quotes are non-binding. As a result of how the dealers develop their quotes, the market illiquidity and low levels of trading in the past, the Company had categorized all of these investment securities available-for-sale in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Due to the increased level of trading activity in 2010 and 2011, the Company moved some of these securities into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the quotes it receives by applying its own valuation models. If there is a material difference between a quote the Company receives and the value indicated by its valuation models, the Company will evaluate the difference. As part of that evaluation, the Company will discuss the difference with the dealer, who may revise its quote based upon these discussions. Alternatively, the Company may revise its valuation models.

For investment securities available-for-sale with lower levels of market activity, the Company determines fair value based on taking a weighted average of the following three measures:

●

dealer quotes, as described above;

●

quotes on more actively-traded, higher-rated securities issued in a similar time period, adjusted for differences in rating and seniority; and

●

the value resulting from an internal valuation model using an income approach based upon an appropriate risk-adjusted yield, time value and projected losses using default assumptions based upon an historical analysis of underlying loan performance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS − (Continued)

MARCH 31, 2011

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

Investment Securities – (Continued)

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary impairment. An available-for-sale investment is impaired when its fair value has declined below its amortized cost basis. An impairment is considered other-than-temporary when the amortized cost basis of the investment will not be recovered over its remaining life. In addition, the Company’s intent to sell as well as the likelihood that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis is considered. Where credit quality is believed to be the cause of the other-than-temporary impairment, that component of the impairment is recognized as an impairment loss in the statement of income. Where other market components are believed to be the cause of the impairment, that component of the impairment is recognized on the balance sheet as other comprehensive loss.

Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment securities are determined on the specific identification method.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for investment are first individually evaluated for impairment so specific reserves can be applied. Loans for which a specific reserve is not applicable are then evaluated for impairment as a homogeneous pool of loans with substantially similar characteristics so that a general reserve can be established, if needed. The reviews are performed at least quarterly.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired if one of two conditions exists. The first condition is if based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The second condition is if the loan is deemed to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) where a concession has been given to the borrower. These TDRs may not have an associated specific loan loss allowance if the principal and interest amount is considered recoverable based on current market conditions, expected collateral performance and / or guarantees made by the borrowers.

When a loan is impaired under either of these two conditions, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value. Fair value may be determined based on the present value of estimated cash flows; on market price, if available; or on the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs. When a loan, or a portion thereof, is considered uncollectible and pursuit of collection is not warranted, the Company will record a charge-off or write-down of the loan against the allowance for loan losses.

An impaired loan or lease may remain on accrual status during the period in which the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan or lease; however, the loan or lease is placed on non-accrual status at such time as (i) management believes that scheduled debt service payments will not be met within the coming 12 months; (ii) the loan or lease becomes 90 days delinquent; (iii) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment; or (iv) the net realizable value of the loan’s underlying collateral approximates the Company’s carrying value of such loan. While on non-accrual status, the Company recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received.

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

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The determination of whether the transfer of a financial asset subject to a repurchase agreement is a sale is based, in part, on whether the entity maintains effective control over the financial asset. The amendments in this guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the disclosures regarding troubled debt restructurings originally effective as of December 15, 2010. The new guidance surrounding troubled debt restructuring will now be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011. The Company expects that adoption will require additional disclosures in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

(1)	As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $84.7 million and $58.0 million, respectively, of securities were pledged as collateral security under related financings.

(2)	As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, other asset-backed securities are carried at fair value, $23,000 and $23,000, respectively, due to prior other-than-temporary impairment taken.

On January 4, 2011, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Resource TRS, made an investment in LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LCC”), a newly-formed equipment financing subsidiary of LEAF Financial Corporation (“LEAF Financial”), a subsidiary of Resource America (see Note 13). The Company’s preferred stock and warrant investment is carried at cost. It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the fair value of its investment in the preferred stock and warrants of LCC. LCC’s assets are comprised of a large number of transactions with commercial customers in different businesses, may be secured by liens on various types of equipment and may be guaranteed by third parties and cross-collateralized. Any difference between the carrying value and fair value of each transaction would be affected by a potential buyer’s assessment of the transaction’s credit quality, collateral value, guarantees, payment history, yield, term, documents and other legal matters, and other subjective considerations. Value received in a fair market sale of a transaction would be based on the terms of the sale, LCC’s and the buyer’s views of economic and industry conditions, LCC’s and the buyer’s tax considerations, and other factors. There were no events or changes in circumstances that would significantly affect the fair value of this investment. The preferred stock carries a coupon of 10%, of which 2% is received in cash and 8% is paid in-kind.

The following table summarizes the estimated maturities of the Company’s CMBS and other asset-backed securities (“ABS”) according to their estimated weighted average life classifications (in thousands, except percentages):

Weighted Average Life	Fair Value			Amortized Cost		Weighted Average Coupon
March 31, 2011:
Less than one year	$	15,590	(1)	$	18,743		4.33%

Greater than five years		32,958			30,651		5.82%

December 31, 2010:

$3.0 million of CMBS, maturing in this category are collateralized by floating-rate loans and, as permitted under the CMBS terms, are expected to extend their respective maturity dates until at least November 2011 as the debtors in the floating-rate structures have a contractual right to extend with options ranging from two one-year options to three one-year options. Beyond the contractual extensions, the servicer may allow further extensions of the underlying floating rate loans.

The Company holds seven investment securities available-for-sale that have been in a loss position for more than 12 months as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The unrealized losses in the above table are considered to be temporary impairments due to market factors and are not reflective of credit deterioration.

The 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 and makes other-than-temporary impairment determinations 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 severity of the impairment;

●

the expected loss with respect to the security as generated by third party software;

●

credit ratings from the rating agencies;

●

underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities; and

●

whether, based upon the Company’s intent, it is more likely than not that the Company will sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held $91.1 million and $63.9 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $14.4 million and $19.3 million, respectively) of CMBS recorded at fair value. To determine fair value, the Company uses two methods, either a dealer quote or an internal valuation model, depending upon the current level of market activity. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $80.1 million and $53.7 million, respectively, of investment securities available-for-sale were valued using dealer quotes and $11.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, were valued using a weighted average of three measures (see Note 2).

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment on positions that supported the Company’s CMBS investment. While the Company’s securities classified as available-for-sale have declined in fair value on a net basis, the Company concluded that the decline continues to be temporary and does not believe that any of its securities classified as available-for-sale were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011 or 2010 that had not been previously classified as such. The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying properties to analyze current and projected security performance. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company’s income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal and interest indicating no impairment.

Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of mortgage principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on CMBS in the Company’s investment portfolio. At March 31, 2011, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s CMBS by approximately $15.3 million. At December 31, 2010, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s CMBS by approximately $16.6 million.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign grades to bank loans. Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-5 with 1 representing the Company’s highest rating and 5 representing its lowest rating. We also designate loans that are sold after the period then ended as such at their fair market value, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales. The Company considers such things as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies, and industry dynamics.

Credit risk profiles of bank loans were as follows (in thousands):

RREF CDO 2007-1 issued a total of $265.6 million of senior notes at par to unrelated investors. 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.

The weighted average interest rate on all notes issued to outside investors and net of repurchased notes was 0.81% and 0.82% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not repurchase any notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 the Company repurchased $250,000 of the Class J Notes in RREF CDO 2007-1 at a weighted average price of 9.00% to par which resulted in a $228,000 gain, reported as a part of the gain on the extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 9 – BORROWINGS – (Continued)

Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures

In May 2006 and September 2006, the Company formed RCT I and RCT II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests. Although the Company owns 100% of the common securities of RCT I and RCT II, RCT I and RCT II are not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities. In connection with the issuance and sale of the capital securities, the Company issued junior subordinated debentures to RCT I and RCT II of $25.8 million each, representing the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II are included in borrowings and are being amortized into interest expense in the consolidated statements of income using the effective yield method over a ten year period.

In October 2009, the Company amended the trust agreements and unsecured junior subordinated debentures held by RCT I and RCT II with a total value outstanding of $51.5 million. The amendment provided for an interest rate increase of 2% (from LIBOR plus 3.95% to LIBOR plus 5.95%) on both issuances for a period of two years and a one-time restructuring fee of $250,000 in exchange for the waiver of financial covenants under the Company’s guarantee. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at March 31, 2011 were $551,000 and $566,000, respectively. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at December 31, 2010 were $590,000 and $604,000, respectively. The interest rate adjustment took effect as of October 1, 2009 and expires on September 30, 2011. The rates for RCT I and RCT II, at March 31, 2011, were 6.26% and 6.25%, respectively. The rates for RCT I and RCT II, at December 31, 2010, were 6.25% and 6.24%, respectively. The covenant waiver expires on January 1, 2012.

The rights of holders of common securities of RCT I and RCT II are subordinate to the rights of the holders of capital securities only in the event of a default; otherwise, the common securities’ economic and voting rights are pari passu with the capital securities. The capital and common securities of RCT I and RCT II are subject to mandatory redemption upon the maturity or call of the junior subordinated debentures held by each. Unless earlier dissolved, RCT I will dissolve on May 25, 2041 and RCT II will dissolve on September 29, 2041. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of RCT I and RCT II, mature on June 30, 2036 and October 30, 2036, respectively, and may be called at par by the Company any time after June 30, 2011 and October 30, 2011, respectively. The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common securities of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts and records dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II.

NOTE 14 – 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 provisions for loan and lease losses and 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.

The Company’s 2011 dividends will be determined by the Company’s board of directors which will also consider the composition of any dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares. Generally, dividends payable in stock are not treated as dividends for purposes of the deduction for dividends, or as taxable dividends to the recipient. However, the Internal Revenue Service, in Revenue Procedures 2009-15 and 2010-12, has given guidance with respect to certain stock distributions by publicly traded REITs. These Revenue Procedures apply to distributions made on or after January 1, 2008 and declared with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2011. They provide that publicly-traded REITs can distribute stock to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements if stated conditions are met. These conditions include that at least 10% of the aggregate declared distributions be paid in cash and the shareholders be permitted to elect whether to receive cash or stock, subject to the limit set by the REIT on the cash to be distributed in the aggregate to all shareholders. The Company did not use these Revenue Procedures with respect to any distributions for its 2009 and 2010 taxable years, but may do so for distributions with respect to 2011.

On March 18, 2011, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.25 per share of common stock, $17.6 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 28, 2011 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2011.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In analyzing the fair value of its investments accounted for on a fair value basis, the Company follows the fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or, if quoted prices are not available, through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The hierarchy followed defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

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 are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter; depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following is a discussion of these assets and liabilities as well as the valuation techniques applied to each for fair value measurement.

The Company reports its investment securities available-for-sale at fair value. To determine fair value, the Company uses two methods, either a dealer quote or an internal valuation model, depending upon the current level of market activity.

For securities purchased with higher levels of market activity, the Company obtains a quote from a dealer, which typically will be the dealer who sold the Company the security. The Company has been advised that, in formulating their quotes, dealers may use recent trades in the particular security, if any, market activity in similar securities, if any, or internal valuation models. These quotes are non-binding. As a result of how the dealers develop their quotes, the market illiquidity and low levels of trading activity in the past, the Company had categorized all of these investment securities available-for-sale in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Due to the increased level of trading activity in 2010 and 2011, the Company moved some of these securities into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the quotes it receives by applying its own valuation models. If there is a material difference between a quote the Company receives and the value indicated by its valuation models, the Company will evaluate the difference. As part of that evaluation, the Company will discuss the difference with the dealer, who may revise their quote based upon these discussions. Alternatively, the Company may revise its valuation models.

For investment securities available-for-sale with lower levels of market activity, the Company determines fair value based on taking a weighted average of the following three measures:

●

dealer quotes, as described above;

●

quotes on more actively-traded, higher-rated securities issued in a similar time period, adjusted for differences in rating and seniority; and

●

The Company reports its investment securities, trading at fair value, which is based on a dealer quotes or bids which are validated using an income approach utilizing appropriate prepayment, default and recovery rates. Any changes in fair value are recorded on the Company’s results of operations as net unrealized gain on investment securities, trading.

Derivatives (interest rate swaps and interest rate caps), both assets and liabilities, are reported at fair value, and are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach with models that use, as their primary inputs, 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 the Company and its counterparties. 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 have become significant to the overall valuation of some of its derivatives. As a result, the Company transferred derivatives with credit valuation adjustments to Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy from Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2010.

The Company did not have any losses included in earnings due to other-than-temporary impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Loans held for sale consist of bank loans and commercial real estate loans (“CRE loans”) identified for sale due to credit concerns. Interest on loans held for sale is recognized according to the contractual terms of the loan and included in interest income on loans. The fair value of bank loans held for sale and impaired bank loans is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for these loans. As such, the Company classifies these loans as recurring Level 2. For the Company’s CRE loans where there is no market, fair value is measured using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques and these loans are classified as nonrecurring Level 3. The amount of nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $3.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of income as provision for loan and lease losses.

Property available-for-sale is estimated based on recent sales prices of prior similar condominium units in the property and the appraised value of a similar condominium unit in the property less costs to sell

NOTE 16– INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

At March 31, 2011, the Company had 18 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 4.75% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $186.1 million at March 31, 2011. In addition, the Company also has one interest rate cap agreement with an aggregate notional amount of $14.8 million outstanding whereby it reduced its exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to LIBOR. The interest rate cap is a non-designated cash flow hedge and, as a result, the change in fair value is recorded through the consolidated statements of income. The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts are Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, with which the Company has master netting agreements.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had 10 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.17% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $166.8 million at December 31, 2010. In addition, the Company also has one interest rate cap agreement with an aggregate notional amount of $14.8 million outstanding, as described above.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was ($12.0) million and ($13.3) million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $13.3 million and $14.7 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In connection with the August 2006 close of RREF CDO 2006-1, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $119,000, which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2006-1. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the June 2007 close of RREF CDO 2007-1, the Company realized a swap termination gain of $2.6 million, which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2007-1. The accretion is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the termination of a $53.6 million swap related to RREF CDO 2006-1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $4.2 million, which is being amortized over the term of a new $45.0 million swap. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the payoff of a fixed-rate commercial real estate loan during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company terminated a $12.7 million swap and realized a $574,000 swap termination loss, which is being amortized over the term of the terminated swap. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information to assist you in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a discussion of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with those statements.

Overview

We are a specialty finance company that focuses primarily on commercial real estate and commercial finance. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a 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 have financed 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 have sought to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.

We are externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI), or Resource America, a specialized asset management company that uses industry-specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its commercial real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management operating segments. As of March 31, 2011, Resource America managed approximately $13.7 billion of assets in these sectors. To provide its services, the Manager draws upon Resource America, its management team and their collective investment experience.

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 from hedging interest rate risks. We generate revenues from the interest and fees we earn on our whole loans, A notes, B notes, mezzanine debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, bank loans, payments on lease receivables and other asset-backed securities, or ABS, and the management of externally originated bank loans. Historically, we have used a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns and we have financed each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage. The cost of borrowings to finance our investments is a significant part of our expenses. Our net income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue. In our bank loans, CMBS, lease receivables and other ABS, we historically have used warehouse facilities as a short-term financing source and collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources. In our commercial real estate loan portfolio, we historically have used repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source, CDOs and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources. Our other term financing has consisted of long-term match-funded financing provided through long-term bank financing and asset-backed financing programs, depending upon market conditions and credit availability.

Ongoing problems in commercial real estate and credit markets continue to impact our operations, particularly with respect to our legacy real estate portfolio investments made in the 2005 to 2008 timeframe that are still held by us. We refer to these investments as our legacy portfolio investments. These problems have also affected a number of our commercial real estate borrowers and, with respect to 27 of our commercial real estate loans, caused us to enter into loan modifications. We have increased our allowance for loan and lease losses to reflect the effect of these conditions on our borrowers and have recorded both temporary and other-than-temporary impairments in the market valuation of the CMBS and other ABS in our investment portfolio. While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at March 31, 2011, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions.

The events occurring in the credit markets have impacted our financing and investing strategies and, as a result, our ability to originate new investments and to grow. The market for securities issued by new securitizations collateralized by assets similar to those in our investment portfolio had largely disappeared until mid 2010. During 2010, we began to see a loosening in the previously frozen credit markets and in May 2010, we closed a new $120.0 million securitization on our equipment leasing portfolio. In addition, in February 2011, we entered into a $100.0 million, two-year term facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, to purchase CMBS. In 2011, we have begun discussions with multiple potential lenders about providing commercial real estate term financing to augment our loan origination platform. However, we caution investors that even if credit through these markets becomes more available, we may be unable to access those markets on economically favorable terms, or at all.

(Back to Index)

Credit market and economic conditions during the past three years also have resulted in a significant number of loan modifications, particularly in our commercial real estate, or CRE loans. Borrowers have experienced deterioration in the performance of the properties we have financed or delays in implementing their business plans. In order to assist our borrowers in effectuating their business plans, including the leasing and repositioning of the underlying assets, we have been willing to enter into loan modifications that would adapt our financing to their particular situations. The most common loan modifications have included term extensions and modest interest rate reductions through the lowering of London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, floors, offset by increased interest rate spreads over LIBOR. In exchange for the loan modifications, we have received partial principal pay-downs, new equity investment commitments in the properties from the borrowers or their principals, additional fees and other structural improvements and credit enhancements to the loans. Since the beginning of 2008 through March 31, 2011, we have modified 27 commercial real estate, or CRE, loans. Management determined that nine of these modifications was due to financial distress of the borrower and, accordingly, qualified as a troubled debt restructuring. We expect that we may have more CRE loan modifications in the future.

As economic conditions improve, and until we are able to access the credit markets on acceptable terms, our principal strategies are to manage our liquidity and originate new assets primarily through capital recycling as loan payoffs and paydowns occur and through existing capacities within our completed securitizations. The following is a summary of repayments we received on our consolidated CDOs during the three months ended March 31, 2011:

●

$1.9 million of commercial real estate loan principal repayments;

●

$24.6 million at commercial real estate loan sale proceeds;

●

$142.0 million of bank loan principal repayments; and

●

$9.1 million of bank loan sale proceeds.

We have used recycled capital in our CRE CDO and bank loan CDO structures to make new investments at discounts to par. As a result of the reinvested capital at discounts, the new investments will produce additional income as the discounts are accreted through interest income. From the net discounts of approximately $15.3 million and $25.8 million, we expect to recognize income of approximately $4.1 million and $14.6 million in our CRE CDO and bank loan CDO portfolio, respectively, in 2011.

During 2010, we invested $5.0 million through Resource TRS, Inc. or Resource TRS, our taxable REIT subsidiary, in structured finance vehicles, principally CDO equity, which we have classified as trading securities. Because of the success of that new investment, we have committed an additional $8.0 million in the March 2011 quarter. Beginning in October 2010 through April 2011, we have underwritten five new CRE loans for a total of $40.2 million. We also purchased seven newly underwritten CMBS for $22.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 in conjunction with the Wells Fargo facility. Furthermore, in January 2011, we discontinued directly investing in our lease receivable portfolio investments and, instead made a preferred stock investment in LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc, or LCC, a recently formed equipment leasing enterprise and a subsidiary of our Manager, through cash capital contributions and a contribution of our lease portfolio equity interests. In February 2011, we purchased a company that manages $1.9 billion of bank loan assets and are entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees. As a result of these recent asset purchases and credit market events, we believe that we will be able to invest a significant portion of our available unrestricted and restricted cash balances and, as a result, modestly increase our net interest margin in 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, we had invested 71% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 17% in commercial bank loans and bank loan management, 7% in our preferred equity investment in LCC and 5% in structured notes. As of December 31, 2010, we had invested 77% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 18% in commercial bank loans, 3% in lease receivables and 2% in structured notes.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the discussion of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations − Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Results of Operations − Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $13.1 million, or $0.22 per share (basic and diluted), as compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Aggregate interest income increased $3.5 million (16%) to $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest Income from Loans

Aggregate interest income from loans increased $1.7 million (10%) to $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Bank loans generated $13.0 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $3.3 million (34%). This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the weighted average yield earned by our bank loans to 5.91% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 4.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This was principally a result of an increase in accretion income to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in accretion income is the result of the purchase of $608.8 million of bank loans at discounts during 2009 and 2010 and the subsequent paydown and payoff of many of these loans during the three months ended March 31, 2011 which speeds up the recognition of the discount accretion. In addition, the normal accretion of those discounts into income is greater due to the larger discounts at March 31, 2011 as compared to March 31, 2010. These discounted loan purchases are made as we reinvest the proceeds from loan payoffs from our borrowers and from the loans we have sold, typically for credit reasons.

(Back to Index)

The increase in bank loan accretion income was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average balance on these loans of $29.9 million to $878.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $907.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of the timing of when loans were sold or paid down and the proceeds reinvested.

The increase in interest income from bank loans was partially offset by a decrease in interest income on CRE loans which generated $7.1 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $1.6 million (18%). This decrease is a result of the following:

●

a decrease in the weighted average balance of assets of $82.6 million to $644.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $727.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily as a result of payoffs and paydowns and, to a lesser extent, loan sales and write-offs of impaired loans; and

●

a decrease in the weighted average yield on these assets to 4.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 4.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to decreases in LIBOR floors, which is a reference index for the rates payable on these loans, from loan modifications during 2009 and 2010. There were $150.6 million of loans with a weighted average LIBOR floor of 2.45% at March 31, 2011 as compared to $189.6 million of loans with a weighted average LIBOR floor of 2.24% at March 31, 2010.

Interest Income from Securities

Aggregate interest income from securities available-for-sale decreased $270,000 (9%) to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in interest income from securities available-for-sale resulted principally from CMBS-private placement which decreased $300,000 (12%) to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. We attribute the decrease primarily to the decrease in the weighted average yield on these assets to 6.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 7.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of impairment of $35.3 million of bonds during the year ended December 31, 2010 that had higher yields than the other performing positions. The decrease in weighted average rate was partially offset by an increase in weighted average balance of assets of $17.3 million to $148.6 million at March 31, 2011 from $131.2 million at March 31, 2010 as a result of the purchase of $22.5 million par value of assets, primarily financed through our new repurchase facility, during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest Income − Leasing

Our equipment leasing portfolio generated $235,000 of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There was no such income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result the transfer of our leasing portfolio into LCC as a preferred equity investment by us. Our investment in LCC, however, generated dividend income, as discussed in “- Other Revenue.”

Interest Income − Other

Aggregate interest income-other increased $2.3 million (1,052%) to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $215,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The preference payments on structured notes generated $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. These payments related to our program with Resource Capital Markets vary from period to period and are based on cash flows from the underlying assets rather than on a contractual interest rate. There was no such portfolio or income for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Total interest expense	$	6,933					$	7,937

Aggregate interest expense decreased $1.0 million (13%) to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. We attribute this decrease to the following:

Interest expense on commercial real estate loans was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $524,000 (25%). This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the weighted average balance of the related financings of $80.0 million to $507.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $587.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to the repurchase of $91.4 million of notes in 2010.

General interest expense was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $633,000 (17%). This decrease was primarily from a decrease in the notional amount of our interest rate swap portfolio as a result of maturities on previous commitments during 2010.

Other Revenue

We received dividend income of $661,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from our January 2011 investment in LCC. There was no such investment at March 31, 2010.

We generated fee income of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 which is related to our February 2011 acquisition of a company that manages bank loan assets that entitles us to collect senior, subordinated, and incentive fees related to five collateralized loan obligation issuers, or CLOs. We had no such investment or income at March 31, 2010.

Non-Investment Expenses

The following table sets forth information relating to our non-investment expenses incurred for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2011		2010
Non-investment expenses:
Management fees – related party	$	2,338	$	1,152

Amortization of intangible asset		253		−
Income tax expense		1,809		105
Total non-investment expenses	$	6,901	$	3,657

Management fees – related party increased $1.2 million (103%) to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These amounts represent compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement as well as fees to the manager of our structured note portfolio. The base management fees increased by $430,000 (37%) to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was due to increased stockholders’ equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, primarily as a result of the receipt of $106.8 million of net proceeds from the sales of common stock through our Dividend Reinvestment and stock repurchase Plan or DRIP during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 as well as the receipt of $92.9 million from the proceeds of our May 2010 and March 2011 common stock offerings. Management fees also include fees of $756,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to our structured finance manager. There was no such portfolio or related fee for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There were no incentive management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.

Equity compensation – related party decreased $262,000 (36%) to $460,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $722,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These expenses relate to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and annual and discretionary grants of restricted stock to several employees of Resource America who provide investment management services to us through our Manager. The decrease in expense was primarily the result of a decrease in our stock price and its impact on our quarterly remeasurement of the value of unvested stock. The decrease in expense from remeasurement was partially offset by the issuance of new grants during the year.

Professional services increased $100,000 (12%) to $919,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $819,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of an increase of $129,000 in legal fees primarily from general legal expense related to the CRE portfolio.

General and administrative expense increased $298,000 (46%) to $945,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $647,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is a result of the following:

●

$136,000 of real estate expenses from our acceptance of a portfolio of condominiums as a partial loan settlement in September 2010; and

●

$81,000 of this increase is related to our agreement to reimburse Resource America for the wages, salary and benefits of our Chief Financial Officer, three accounting professionals, our Chairman and 50% of the salary and benefits of a director of investor relations. We began reimbursing for our Chairman in February 2010.

Income tax expense increased $1.7 million (1,623%) to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to activity in our structured finance portfolio and fee income from our externally originated bank loan portfolio which both yielded significant pre-tax income in the 2011 period.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities, trading was a gain of $2.3 million and a loss of $336,000 for three months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. No such portfolio existed prior to June 2010. The gains are the result of sales of structured finance securities. The losses are the result of marking the structured finance securities to market at March 31, 2011.

Our provision for loan and lease losses decreased $12.8 million (83%) to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The following table summarizes information relating to our provision for loan and lease losses for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,

Bank loan portfolio		(515	)		(215	)
Lease receivables		−			86
	$	2,606		$	15,371

The principal reason for the decrease from the three months ended March 31, 2010 was improvement in our CRE portfolio. We had three positions for which we took a provision during the three months ended March 31, 2010 The positions had a total par amount of $48.5 million and were written down to $34.0 million for a weighted average write-down percentage of 29.9% of par. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had three positions for which we took a provision. The positions had a total par of $70.5 million with a weighted average write down percentage of 3.8% of par.

Gain on the extinguishment of debt was $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and is due to the buyback of a portion of the debt issued by RREF 2006-1 and RREF 2007-1 during the period. The notes, issued at par, were bought back as an investment by us at a weighted average price of 67.3%. The related deferred debt issuance costs were immaterial. There was no such transaction in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Other income (expense) increased $196,000 to income of $84,000 from an expense of $112,000. This increase is primarily the result of an increase of $161,000 on income from a real estate joint venture.

Financial Condition

Summary.

Our total assets at March 31, 2011 were $1.9 billion virtually unchanged from December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, we held $61.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.

Investment Portfolio.

(4)	ABS held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost less other-than-temporary impairments.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement. The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a subjective process, and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization. We review our portfolios and make other-than-temporary impairment determinations at least quarterly. We consider 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 severity of the impairment;

●

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

●

credit ratings from the rating agencies;

●

underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the security; and

●

whether, based upon our intent, it is more likely than not that we will sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we held $91.1 million and $64.0 million, respectively, (net of net unrealized losses of $14.4 million and $19.3 million, respectively) of CMBS recorded at fair value. To determine fair value, we use two methods, either a dealer quote or an internal valuation model, depending upon the current level of market activity. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $80.1 million and $53.7 million, respectively, of investment securities available-for-sale were valued using dealer quotes and $11.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, were valued using the weighted average of the three measures discussed below.

For securities with higher levels of market activity, we obtain a quote from a dealer, which typically will be the dealer who sold us the security. We have been advised that, in formulating their quotes, dealers may use recent trades in the particular security, if any, market activity in similar securities, if any, or internal valuation models. These quotes are non-binding. As a result of how the dealers develop their quotes, the market illiquidity and low levels of trading activity all of these securities had in the past been categorized in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Due to the increased level of trading activity in 2010 and 2011, we moved some of these securities into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. We evaluate the reasonableness of the quotes we receive by applying our own valuation models. If there is a material difference between a quote we receive and the value indicated by our valuation models, we will evaluate the difference. As part of that evaluation, we will discuss the difference with the dealer, who may revise their quote based upon these discussions. Alternatively, we may revise our valuation models.

For investment securities available-for-sale with lower levels of market activity, we determine fair value based on taking a weighted average of the following three measures:

●

dealer quotes, as described above;

●

quotes on more actively-traded, higher-rated securities issued in a similar time period, adjusted for differences in rating and seniority; and

●

In the aggregate, we purchased our CMBS-private placement portfolio at a discount. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $15.3 million and $16.6 million, respectively. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.

There was no other-than temporary impairment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010. While our securities classified as available-for-sale have declined in fair value on a net basis, we concluded that the decline continues to be temporary. We perform an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to our income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal. We do not believe that any of our securities classified as available-for-sale were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011.

(1)	Whole loans had $9.1 million and $5.0 million in unfunded loan commitments as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These commitments are funded as the loans require additional funding and the related borrowers have satisfied the requirements to obtain this additional funding.

(2)	Fixed rate mezzanine loan dates exclude a loan that matured in May 2010 and is in default and has been on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2010.

(3)	The total does not include an allowance for loan losses of $25.9 million and $31.6 million recorded as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

(4)	Maturity dates do not include possible extension options that may be available to the borrowers.

Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we entered into and completed sale agreements for two commercial real estate loans. One loan is secured by a hotel portfolio in various locations that we sold at 85% of par, resulting in a loss of $2.25 million of which $235,000 had been previously allocated as part of our general reserve. The second loan is secured by an office tower in New York City that we sold at par, with transactions costs resulting in a loss of $656,000. The third loan with a fair value of $676,000 is secured by a pad for retail use in Arizona. We expect a sale to occur during 2011. We classified these loans as loans held for sale as of March 31, 2011.

Bank Loans. At March 31, 2011, we held a total of $876.4 million of bank loans at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, including one loan held outside of the CDOs. All but the loan outside of the CDOS secure the debt issued by these entities. This is an increase of $16.0 million over our holdings at December 31, 2010. The increase in total bank loans was principally due to improved market prices for bank loans. We own 100% of the equity issued by Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO which we have determined are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary. As a result, we consolidate Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO.

Asset-backed securities held-to-maturity. At March 31, 2011, we held a total of $26.9 million of ABS held-to-maturity at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, all of which secure the debt issued by these entities. This is an increase of $1.0 million over our holdings at December 31, 2010. The increase in total ABS held-to-maturity was principally due to the improved market prices.

On January 4, 2011, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Resource TRS, made a preferred investment in LCC, a newly-formed equipment financing subsidiary of LEAF Financial Corporation, or LEAF Financial, a subsidiary of Resource America. Resource TRS contributed capital of approximately $26.2 million to LCC in the form of approximately $5.2 million in cash, and $21.0 million of equity interests in LEAF Funding 3, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource TRS. As part of the transaction, LEAF Financial contributed its assets relating to its equipment lease and note origination, servicing and finance business to LCC. Also, senior management personnel of LEAF Financial, or collectively, the Management Parties, contributed capital to LCC in the form of all of the shares of common stock they owned in LEAF Financial in exchange for 10% of the shares of LCC common stock on a fully-diluted basis. The foregoing capital investments in LCC were made pursuant to a Transfer and Contribution Agreement among the registrant, LEAF Financial, LCC, Resource TRS and the Management Parties, or the TCA. This transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of our leasing operations.

Pursuant to the TCA, in return for Resource TRS’s capital investments, LCC issued and delivered to Resource TRS 2,626.783 shares of LCC Series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 4,800 shares of LCC common stock for an exercise price of $0.01 per share, representing 48% of LCC’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis, classified as securities available-for-sale on our consolidated balance sheet.

(Back to Index)

As set forth in the TCA, on January 4, 2011, Resource TRS also delivered to LCC a Share Purchase Agreement, under which LCC is permitted to require Resource TRS to purchase up to an additional $10.0 million of Preferred Stock on the terms set forth therein. The preferred stock carries a coupon of 10%, of which 2% is received in cash and 8% is paid in-kind.

Restricted cash. At March 31, 2011, we had restricted cash of $159.6 million, which consisted of $157.1 million of restricted cash in our five CDOs, and $2.5 million held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio. At December 31, 2010, we had restricted cash of $168.2 million, which consisted of $160.5 million of restricted cash in our five CDOs, $5.2 million of restricted cash in our leasing securitization and $2.5 million held in a margin account, related to our swap portfolio. The decrease of $8.6 million is primarily related to reinvestments in our CRE CDOs. The majority of this cash had not been reinvested as of December 31, 2010.

Interest Receivable. At March 31, 2011, we had interest receivable of $5.6 million, which consisted of $5.6 million of interest on our securities, loans and structured notes and $9,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. At December 31, 2010, we had interest receivable of $6.3 million, which consisted of $6.3 million of interest on our securities, loans and lease receivables and $9,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. The decrease of $775,000 this decrease is primarily the result of a reduction of $714,000 in interest receivable on structured notes due to the timing of when payments were due and received and a decrease of $280,000 in interest receivable on our bank loan portfolio due to repayments and sales of positions during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $169,000 related to intercompany loans and a $40,000 increase in interest receivable on our commercial real estate loan portfolio due to the origination of two new loans.

Other Assets. The following table summarizes our other assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2011		2010

Dividend receivable		661		−
Management fees receivable		956		−
Principal paydown		60		468
Total	$	3,093	$	2,432

Other assets increased $661,000 to $3.1 million as of March 31, 2011 from $2.4 million as of December 31, 2010. This increase resulted primarily from the following:

●

an increase of $514,000 in prepaid assets which is primarily related to the director and officer insurance policy and the timing of when it is paid;

●

an increase of $661,000 in dividend receivables as a result of our January 2011 investment in LCC; and

●

an increase of $956,000 in management fees receivables which are related to our investment in a subsidiary which entitles us to collect senior, subordinated and incentive fees related to five collateralized loan obligations. There were no such fees for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The increase in other assets was partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in other receivables principally due to receivables on our leasing portfolio which was sold on January 4, 2011. In addition principal paydowns decreased $408,000 due to the timing of our receipt of payments on our leasing and bank loan portfolios.

Hedging Instruments. Our hedges at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements whereby we swapped the floating rate of interest on the liabilities we hedged for a fixed rate of interest. With the pending maturity of several agreements, we expect that the fair value of our hedges will modestly improve during the remainder of 2011. We intend to continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future. Our hedges at March 31, 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	Benchmark rate	Notional value		Strike rate		Effective date	Maturity date	Fair value
Interest rate swap	1 month LIBOR	$	12,965		4.63%	12/04/06	07/01/11	$	(143	)

Total		$	186,119		4.75%			$	(12,009	)

In addition, we also had an interest rate cap agreement with a notional of $14.8 million outstanding as of March 31, 2010 which reduced our exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to LIBOR. The interest rate cap is a non-designated cash flow hedge and as a result the change in fair value is recorded through the consolidated statement of operations. The interest rate cap had an effective date of January 8, 2009, has a maturity date of August 5, 2011 and has a cap rate of 2.00%. The interest rate cap had a fair value of $60 as of December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, we had entered into hedges with a notional amount of $166.8 million and maturities ranging from July 2011 to July 2017. At December 31, 2010, the fair value on our interest rate swap agreements was ($13.3) million.

CMBS – Term Repurchase Facility. In February 2011, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, RCC Real Estate and RCC Commercial, entered into a master repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to be used as a warehouse facility to finance the purchase of commercial mortgage-backed securities. We guaranteed RCC Real Estate and RCC Commercial’s performance of their obligations under the repurchase agreement. At March 31, 2011, RCC Real Estate had borrowed $15.1 million, all of which we had guaranteed, less unamortized deferred debt issuance costs for a net of $14.6 million. At March 31, 2011, borrowings under the repurchase agreement were secured by commercial mortgage-backed securities with an estimated fair value of $17.5 million and had a weighted average interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.25%, or 1.50% at March 31, 2011.

Collateralized Debt Obligations. As of March 31, 2011, we had executed and retained equity in five CDO transactions as follows:

●

In June 2007, we closed RREF CDO 2007-1, a $500.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans. The investments held by RREF CDO 2007-1 collateralized $458.8 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle, of which RCC Real Estate, Inc., or RCC Real Estate, a subsidiary of ours, purchased 100% of the class H senior notes, class K senior notes, class L senior notes and class M senior notes for $68.0 million at closing, $5.0 million of the Class J senior notes in February 2008. an additional $2.5 million of the Class J senior notes in November 2009, and $11.9 million of the Class E senior notes, $11.9 million of the Class F senior notes and $7.3 million of the Class G senior notes in December 2009, and $250,000 of the Class J senior notes in January 2010. In addition, RREF 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 March 31, 2011, the notes issued to outside investors, net of repurchased notes, had a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.81%.

(Back to Index)

●

In May 2007, we closed Apidos Cinco CDO, a $350.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans. The investments held by Apidos Cinco CDO collateralized $322.0 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. RCC Commercial Inc., or RCC Commercial, a subsidiary of ours, purchased a $28.0 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At March 31, 2011, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.82%.

In August 2006, we closed RREF CDO 2006-1, a $345.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans. The investments held by RREF CDO 2006-1 collateralized $308.7 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. RCC Real Estate purchased 100% of the class J senior notes and class K senior notes for $43.1 million at closing and $7.5 million of the Class F senior notes in June 2009, $3.5 million of the Class E senior note and $4.0 million of the Class F senior notes in September 2009 and $20.0 million of the Class A-1 senior notes in February 2010. In addition, RREF 2006-1 CDO Investor, LLC, a subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased a $36.3 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At March 31, 2011, the notes issued to outside investors, net of repurchased notes, had a weighted average borrowing rate of 1.32%.

In May 2006, we closed Apidos CDO III, a $285.5 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans. The investments held by Apidos CDO III collateralized $262.5 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. RCC Commercial purchased a $23.0 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At March 31, 2011, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.76%.

In August 2005, we closed Apidos CDO I, a $350.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans. The investments held by Apidos CDO I collateralize $321.5 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. RCC Commercial purchased a $28.5 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At March 31, 2011, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.88%.

Trust Preferred Securities. In May and September 2006, we formed Resource Capital Trust I, or RCT I, and RCC Trust II, or RCT II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities. 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 trusts and record dividend income upon declaration by each trust. 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.

In October 2009, we amended our unsecured junior subordinated debentures held by RCT I and RCT II with a total value outstanding of $51.5 million. The amendment provides for an interest rate increase of 2% (from LIBOR plus 3.95% to LIBOR plus 5.95%) on both issuances for a period of two years and a one-time restructuring fee of $250,000 in exchange for the waiver of financial covenants under our guarantee. The covenant waiver expires on January 1, 2012. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at March 31, 2011 were $39,000 and $38,000, respectively. The interest rate adjustment took effect as of October 1, 2009 and expires on September 30, 2011. The rates for RCT I and RCT II at March 31, 2011, were 6.26% and 6.25%, respectively. The rates for RCT I and RCT II at December 31, 2010, were 6.25% and 6.24%, respectively. The additional cost is approximately $280,000 per quarter.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

We use a risk grading matrix to assign grades to bank loans. Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-5 with 1 representing our highest rating and 5 representing our lowest rating. We also designate loans that are sold after the period then ended as such at their fair market value, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales. We consider such things as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies, and industry dynamics.

Credit risk profiles of bank loans were as follows (in thousands):

Commercial Real Estate Loans

We use a risk grading matrix to assign grades to commercial real estate loans. Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-4 with 1 representing our highest rating and 4 representing our lowest rating. We also designate loans that are sold after the period then ended as such at their fair market value, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales. In addition to the underlying performance of the loan collateral, we consider such things as the strength of underlying sponsorship, payment history, collectability of interest, structural credit enhancements, market trends and loan terms.

Specific allowances were not taken on whole loans of $112.4 million and $111.4 million of par value as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively that were evaluated for and deemed to be troubled debt restructurings, or TDRs. These TDRs do not have an associated specific loan loss allowance because the principal and interest amount is considered recoverable based on expected collateral performance and / or guarantees made by the borrowers.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2011 was $427.2 million and included $14.4 million of net unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, and $13.3 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2010 was $348.3 million and included $19.3 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio and $13.3 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The increase in stockholder’s equity during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was principally due to the proceeds received related to our stock offering in March 2011 and our DRIP during the quarter.

Fluctuations in market values of assets in our available-for-sale portfolio that have not been other-than-temporarily impaired, 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 Loss.”

The following table reconciles GAAP net income to adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. (in thousands):

During 2010, we evaluated our performance based on several performance measures, including adjusted net income, in addition to net income and estimated REIT taxable income. Adjusted net income represents net income available to common shares, computed in accordance with GAAP, before provision for loan and lease losses, gain on the extinguishment of debt and non-operating capital items. These items are recorded in accordance with GAAP and are typically non-cash or non-operating items that do not impact our operating performance or ability to pay a dividend.

Management views adjusted net income as a useful and appropriate supplement to GAAP net income because it helps management evaluate our performance without the effects of certain GAAP adjustments that may not have a direct financial impact on our current operating performance and dividend paying ability. Management uses adjusted net income to evaluate the performance of our investment portfolios, ability to manage its expenses and dividend paying ability before the impact of non-cash adjustments and non-operating capital gain or loss recorded in accordance with GAAP. We believe this is a useful performance measure for investors to evaluate these aspects of our business as well. The most significant adjustments we exclude in determining adjusted earnings as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 are the provision for loan and lease losses, loss from asset impairments and gain on the extinguishment of debt. Management excludes all such items from our calculation of adjusted net income because these items are not charges or losses which would impact our current operating performance. However, by excluding these significant items, adjusted net income reduces an investor’s understanding of our operating performance by excluding management’s expectation of possible future gains or losses from our investment portfolio.

Adjusted net income, as a non-GAAP financial measurement, does not purport to be an alternative to GAAP net income, or a measure of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity. Instead, adjusted net income should be reviewed in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in our consolidated financial statements to help analyze management’s expectation of potential future losses from our investment portfolio and other non-cash or capital matters that impact our financial results. Adjusted net income and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry. Investors should consider these differences when comparing our adjusted net income to these other REITs.

(2)	Non-cash charges for loan and lease losses.

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):

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, expects to make distributions based on estimated REIT taxable income, we expect that our distributions may at times be more or less than our reported GAAP net income. Total estimated REIT taxable income is the aggregate amount of estimated REIT taxable income generated by us and by our domestic and foreign taxable REIT subsidiaries. Estimated REIT taxable income excludes the undistributed taxable income (if any) of our domestic taxable REIT subsidiary, which is not included in REIT taxable income until distributed to us. There is no requirement that our domestic taxable REIT subsidiary distribute its income to us. Estimated REIT taxable income, however, includes the taxable income of our foreign taxable REIT subsidiaries because we generally will be required to recognize and report their taxable income on a current basis. 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.

(2)	U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations are required to include their share of such corporations’ income on a current basis; however, losses sustained by such corporations do not offset income of their U.S. shareholders on a current basis.

There is no requirement that our domestic TRS distribute its earning to us. Estimated REIT taxable income, however, includes the taxable income of our foreign TRSs because we are generally required to recognize and report their taxable income on a current basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2011, our principal sources of current liquidity were $46.6 million of net proceeds from our March 2011 offering and $30.1 million of proceeds from sales of common stock through our DRIP and funds available in existing CDO financings of $157.1 million at March 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, our principal sources of current liquidity were $42.8 million of net proceeds from our May 2010 offering and $76.8 million of proceeds from sales of common stock through our DRIP, funds available in existing CDO financings of $160.5 million and $84.9 million of availability under our repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to finance the purchase of CMBS.

Our on-going liquidity needs consist principally of funds to make investments, make debt repurchases, make distributions to our stockholders and pay our operating expenses, including our management fees. Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and, with respect to our investments, our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to above. Historically, we have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through CDOs that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments. We derive substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CDOs which, if the CDOs fail to meet certain tests, will cease. Through March 31, 2011, we have not experienced difficulty in maintaining our existing CDO financing and have passed all of the critical tests required by these financings. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet all such critical tests in the future. If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of existing 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 assets, which would result in losses and reduced income.

(3)	Interest coverage cushion represents the amount by which annualized interest income expected exceeds the annualized amount payable on all classes of CDO notes senior to our preference shares.

(4)	Overcollateralization cushion represents the amount by which the collateral held by the CDO issuer exceeds the maximum amount required.

At April 30, 2011, after paying the first quarter dividend, RCC’s liquidity of $207.8 million consists of two primary sources:

●

unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $38.3 million and restricted cash of $2.0 million in margin call accounts; and

●

capital available for reinvestment in its five CDO entities of $167.5 million, of which $0.7 million is designated to finance future funding commitments on CRE loans.

Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our leverage ratio was 3.6 times and 4.4 times, respectively. The decrease in leverage ratio was primarily due to the March 2011 offering proceeds and DRIP proceeds received, during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid corporate-level income tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of our net taxable income to holders of our common stock. This requirement can impact our liquidity and capital resources. On March 18, 2011, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.25 per share of common stock, $17.6 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 28, 2011 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2011.

Our 2011 dividends will be determined by our board of directors who will also consider the composition of any common dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares. Generally, dividends payable in stock are not treated as dividends for purposes of the deduction for dividends, or as taxable dividends to the recipient. The Internal Revenue Service, in Revenue Procedure 2010-12, has given guidance with respect to certain stock distributions by publicly traded REITs. That Revenue Procedure applies to distributions made on or after January 1, 2008 and declared with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2011. It provides that publicly-traded REITs can distribute stock (common shares in our case) to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements if stated conditions are met. These conditions include that at least 10% of the aggregate declared distributions be paid in cash and the shareholders be permitted to elect whether to receive cash or stock, subject to the limit set by the REIT on the cash to be distributed in the aggregate to all shareholders. We have not used this Revenue Procedure with respect to any distributions to date, but we are permitted to do so for distributions with respect to 2011.

Contractual commitments do not include $21.4 million, $29.6 million, $24.2 million, $30.9 million and $55.4 million of interest expense payable through the non-call dates of July 2010, May 2011, June 2011, August 2011 and June 2012, respectively, on Apidos CDO I, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO III, RREF 2006-1 and RREF 2007-1. The non-call date represents the earliest period under which the CDO assets can be sold, resulting in repayment of the CDO notes.

(2)	Contractual commitments includes $5,000 of interest expense payable through the maturity date of April 18, 2011 on our repurchase agreements.

(3)	Contractual commitments do not include $56.1 million and $57.2 million of interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036, respectively, on our trust preferred securities.

(4)

Calculated only for the next 12 months based on our current equity, as defined in our management agreement. Our management agreement also provides for an incentive fee arrangement that is based on operating performance. Because the incentive fee is not a fixed and determinable amount, it is not included in this table.

At March 31, 2011, we had 18 interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $186.1 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 March 31, 2011, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 4.75% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 0.25%. In addition, we also had an interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $14.8 million outstanding which reduced our exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to LIBOR. The interest rate cap is a non-designated cash flow hedge and, as a result, the change in fair value is recorded through our consolidated statements of income.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2011, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, special purpose or variable interest entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, as of March 31, 2010, we had not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

We have certain unfunded commitments related to our commercial real estate loan portfolio that we may be required to fund in the future. Our unfunded commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional loan interest income on the advanced amount. As of March 31, 2011, we had six loans with unfunded commitments totaling $9.1 million, of which $940,000 will be funded by restricted cash in RREF CDO 2007-1.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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.

We primarily assess our interest rate risk by estimating the duration of our assets and the duration of our liabilities. Duration essentially measures the market price volatility of financial instruments as interest rates change. We generally calculate duration using various financial models and empirical data. Different models and methodologies can produce different duration numbers for the same securities.

The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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):

	March 31, 2011
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement (1)
Fair value	$	60,783		$	58,090		$	55,524
Change in fair value	$	2,693		$	−		$	(21,566	)
Change as a percent of fair value		4.64%			−%			4.42%

Hedging instruments
Fair value	$	(26,399	)	$	(12,009	)	$	(6,162	)
Change in fair value	$	(14,390	)	$	−		$	7,130
Change as a percent of fair value		119.83%			−%			53.64%

	December 31, 2010
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement (1):
Fair value	$	56,491		$	54,125		$	51,939
Change in fair value	$	2,336		$	−		$	(2,216	)
Change as a percent of fair value		4.31%			−%			4.09%

Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(20,622	)	$	(13,292	)	$	(6,162	)
Change in fair value	$	(7,330	)	$	−		$	7,130
Change as a percent of fair value		55.15%			−%			53.64%

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

For purposes of the table, 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.

Effect on Fair Value

A component of interest rate risk is the effect changes in interest rates will have on the market value of our assets. We face the risk that the market value of our assets will increase or decrease at different rates than that of our liabilities, including our hedging instruments.

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.

Risk Management

To the extent consistent with maintaining our status as a REIT, we seek to manage our interest rate risk exposure to protect our portfolio of fixed-rate commercial real estate mortgages and CMBS and related debt against the effects of major interest rate changes. We generally seek to manage our interest rate risk by:

●

monitoring and adjusting, if necessary, the reset index and interest rate related to our mortgage-backed securities and our borrowings;

●

attempting to structure our borrowing agreements for our CMBS to have a range of different maturities, terms, amortizations and interest rate adjustment periods; and

●

using derivatives, financial futures, swaps, options, caps, floors and forward sales, to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of our fixed-rate commercial real estate mortgages and CMBS and our borrowing.

ITEM 4.

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 of Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
