NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2008

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF QUARTERLY PRESENTATION

Resource Capital Corp. and subsidiaries’ (the ‘‘Company’’) principal business activity is to purchase and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate-related assets and commercial finance assets. The Company’s investment activities are managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc. (‘‘Manager’’) pursuant to a management agreement (‘‘Management Agreement’’). The Manager is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“RAI”) (Nasdaq: REXI).

The Company has three direct wholly-owned subsidiaries:

RCC Real Estate, Inc. (“RCC Real Estate”) holds real estate investments, including commercial real estate loans. RCC Real Estate owns 100% of the equity of the following entities:

Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 (“RREF 2006-1”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and qualified real estate investment trust (“REIT”) subsidiary (“QRS”). RREF 2006-1 was established to complete a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) issuance secured by a portfolio of commercial real estate loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1 (“RREF 2007-1”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and QRS. RREF 2007-1 was established to complete a CDO issuance secured by a portfolio of commercial real estate loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

RCC Commercial, Inc. (“RCC Commercial”) holds bank loan investments and real estate investments, including commercial and residential real estate-related securities. RCC Commercial owns 100% of the equity of the following entities:

Apidos CDO I, Ltd. (“Apidos CDO I”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Apidos CDO I was established to complete a CDO secured by a portfolio of bank loans.

Apidos CDO III, Ltd. (“Apidos CDO III”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and TRS. Apidos CDO III was established to complete a CDO secured by a portfolio of bank loans.

Apidos Cinco CDO, Ltd. (“Apidos Cinco CDO”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and TRS. Apidos Cinco CDO was established to complete a CDO secured by a portfolio of bank loans.

Resource TRS, Inc. (“Resource TRS”), the Company’s directly-owned TRS, holds all the Company’s direct financing leases and notes.

The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2008 presentation.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

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

Income Taxes

The Company operates in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); therefore applicable REIT taxable income is included in the taxable income of its shareholders, to the extent distributed by the Company. To maintain REIT status for federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders as well as comply with certain other qualification requirements as defined under the Code. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax to extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year.

Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through Resource TRS are subject to federal, state and local income taxes. Resource TRS' income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as required under SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of Resource TRS' assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Resource TRS recognized a provision for income taxes of $29,000 and $338,000, respectively.

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

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses. Loans and leases held for investment are first individually evaluated for impairment, and then evaluated as a homogeneous pool as loans with substantially similar characteristics for impairment. The reviews are performed at least quarterly.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, 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. When a loan is impaired, 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 the collection is not warranted, then the Company will record a charge-off or write-down of the loan against the allowance for credit losses.

The balance of impaired loans and leases was $17.2 million at March 31, 2008. The total balance of impaired loans and leases with a valuation allowance at March 31, 2008 was $16.9 million. All of the loans deemed impaired at March 31, 2008 have an associated valuation allowance. The total balance of impaired leases without a specific valuation allowance was $360,000 at March 31, 2008. The specific valuation allowance related to these impaired loans and leases was $2.7 million at March 31, 2008. The average balance of impaired loans and leases was $16.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The Company did not recognize any income on impaired loans and leases during 2008.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses − (Continued)

The balance of impaired loans and leases was $17.4 million at December 31, 2007. The total balance of impaired loans and leases with a valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 was $17.0 million. All of the loans deemed impaired at December 31, 2007 have an associated valuation allowance. The total balance of impaired leases without a specific valuation allowance was $359,000 at December 31, 2007. The average balance of impaired loans and leases was $4.3 million during 2007. The Company did not recognize any income on impaired loans and leases during 2007 once each individual loan or lease became impaired.

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 would be placed on non-accrual status at such time as either (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.

The following tables show the changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses (in thousands):

Allowance for loan loss at January 1, 2008	$	5,918

Allowance for lease loss at March 31, 2008	$	293

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows Statement of Financial Account Standards (‘SFAS”) 123(R), “Share Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Issuances of restricted stock and options are accounted for using the fair value based methodology prescribed by SFAS 123(R) whereby the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and expensed monthly to equity compensation expense - related party on the consolidated statements of income with a corresponding entry to additional paid-in capital. For issuances to the Company’s Manager and to non-employees, the unvested stock and options are adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in fair value as performance under the agreement is completed. For issuances to the Company’s five non-employee directors, the amount is not remeasured under the fair value-based method. The compensation for each of these issuances is amortized over the service period and included in equity compensation expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133” (“SFAS 161”). This new standard requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and will be applicable to the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 161 may have on its financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions” (“FSP FAS 140-3”) which provides guidance on accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and repurchase financing. FSP FAS 140-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect FSP FAS 140-3 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently determining the effect, if any, that SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141 (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R, among other things, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired (including intangibles), the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. Additionally, SFAS 141R requires that all transaction costs will be expensed as incurred. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that SFAS 141R will have on its financial statements. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment,” of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate of the expected term of outstanding options to continue use of the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. The Company will continue to use the “simplified” method until it has enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate of expected term in accordance with SAB 110.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities − Including an amendment of FASB Statement 115,” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect to apply the provisions of SFAS 159 for existing eligible instruments at December 31, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands the disclosure of fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

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

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

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

the severity of the impairment;

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

credit ratings from the rating agencies; and

underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE − (Continued)

While the available-for-sale investments have continued to decline in fair value, their change continues to be temporary. In particular, with respect to CMBS, all assets are current with respect to interest and principal payments. In addition, the Company performs 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. The Company’s review concludes, that there exist no credit characteristics that would indicate other-than-temporary impairments as of March 31, 2008.

In November 2007, the Company sold a portion of its preferred shares in Ischus CDO II to an independent third party. The sale was deemed to be a reconsideration event under FIN 46-R and as a result, the Company was no longer considered the primary beneficiary and Ischus CDO II was deconsolidated. The Company currently recognizes income on its remaining investment using the cost recovery method. The investment in Ischus CDO II was fully recovered during the months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $1.3 million of cash receipts was collected of which, $997,000 was recognized as interest income – other on the consolidated statement of income. No additional cash has been collected since March 31, 2008.

Collateralized Debt Obligations

Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1

In June 2007, the Company closed RREF 2007-1, a $500.0 million CDO transaction that provides financing for commercial real estate loans and CMBS. The investments held by RREF 2007-1 collateralize the debt it issued and, as a result, the investments are not available to the Company, its creditors or stockholders. RREF 2007-1 issued a total of $390.0 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. In addition, Resource Real Estate Funding 2007-1 CDO Investor, LLC, a subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased a $41.3 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. The senior notes purchased by RCC Real Estate are subordinated in right of payment to all other senior notes issued by RREF 2007-1 but are senior in right of payment to the preference shares. The equity interest is subordinated in right of payment to all other securities issued by RREF 2007-1.

The senior notes issued to investors by RREF 2007-1 consist of the following classes: (i) $180.0 million of class A-1 notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 0.28%; (ii) $50.0 million of available class A-1R notes ($26.7 million was funded as of March 31, 2008), which allow the CDO to fund future funding obligations under the existing whole loan participations that have future funding commitments; the undrawn balance of the class A-1R notes will accrue a commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.18%, the drawn balance will bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus 0.32%; (iii) $57.5 million of class A-2 notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 0.46%; (iv) $22.5 million of class B notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 0.80%; (v) $7.0 million of class C notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.423%; (vi) $26.8 million of class D notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 0.95%; (vii) $11.9 million of class E notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.15%; (viii) $11.9 million of class F notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.30%; (ix) $11.3 million of class G notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.55%; (x) $11.3 million of class H notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.30%; (xi) $11.3 million of class J notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.95%; (xii) $10.0 million of class K notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 3.25%; (xiii) $18.8 million of class L notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 7.50% and (xiv) $28.8 million of class M notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 8.50%.

Trust Preferred Securities

In May 2006 and September 2006, the Company formed Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“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 accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”) Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as revised (“FIN 46-R”).

These costs, which are included in other assets, are being amortized into interest expense using the effective yield method over a ten year period and are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

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.

NOTE 12 – DISTRIBUTIONS

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

On March 11, 2008, the Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.41 per share of common stock, $10.4 million in the aggregate, which was paid on April 28, 2008 to stockholders of record as of March 30, 2008.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 which did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as investment securities available-for-sale and derivatives have always been disclosed at fair value. SFAS 157 establishes a 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 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. SFAS 157’s hierarchy 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; and 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.

Investment securities available-for-sale are measured with dealer quotes and income valuation approaches using the following types of inputs:

Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities with no secondary trading except for distressed sellers and markets reflecting forced liquidations are valued using an income approach and utilizing an appropriate current market yield, time value and estimated losses from default assumptions based on historical analysis.

·	Other ABS is priced using consensus pricing and a dealer quote.

The following is a discussion of the valuation techniques applied to derivatives for fair value measurement.

Derivatives (Interest rate swap contracts), both assets and liabilities, are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and utilizing models that use as their primary basis readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS − (Continued)

The following table presents additional information about assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value.

	Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Securities Available-for-Sale
Beginning balance	$	65,464
Total gains or losses (realized/unrealized):
Included in earnings		(2,000	)
Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net)		(7,963	)
Included in other comprehensive income		(6,730	)
Ending balance	$	48,771

The Company had $2.0 million of losses includes in earnings due to the sale of one asset during the three months ended. The loss is included on consolidated statement of income as net realized (losses) gains on sales of investments.

SFAS 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate value. The fair value of available-for-sale securities, derivatives and direct financing leases and notes is equal to their respective carrying value presented in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of loans held for investment was $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The fair value of the Company’s investments represent management’s estimate of the price that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller for such assets. This estimate is based on the underlying interest rates and credit spreads for fixed-rate securities and, to the extent available, quoted market prices. The fair value of all other assets and liabilities approximates carrying value as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, due to the short-term nature of these items.

NOTE 14 – INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

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

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

At March 31, 2008, the Company had 31 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company will pay an average fixed rate of 5.14% and receive a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $340.0 million at March 31, 2008.

NOTE 14 – INTEREST RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS − (Continued)

At December 31, 2007, the Company had 30 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company will pay an average fixed rate of 5.36% and receive a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $347.9 million at December 31, 2007.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was ($24.5) million and ($18.0) million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $26.3 million and $15.7 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In connection, with the August 2006 close of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $119,000, which is being amortized over the maturity 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 Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, the Company realized a swap termination gain of $2.6 million, which is being amortized over the maturity 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 2006-1 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $4.2 million, which is being amortized over the maturity of a new $45.0 million swap. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of mortgage principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company seeks to mitigate the effect of changes in the mortgage principal repayment rate by balancing assets purchased at a premium with assets purchased at a discount. At March 31, 2008, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s MBS by approximately $4.0 million. At December 31, 2007, the aggregate discount exceeded the aggregate premium on the Company’s MBS by approximately $4.1 million.

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 11, 2008, the Company announced a quarterly distribution of $0.41 per share of common stock which was paid on April 28, 2008 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2008.

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. Future distributions and capital appreciation are not guaranteed, however, and we have only a relatively short operating history and REIT experience upon which you can base an assessment of our ability to achieve our objectives.

We generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive from our assets and the cost to finance the purchase of those assets and hedge interest rate risks. We generate revenues from the interest we earn on our whole loans, A notes, B notes, mezzanine debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, bank loans, payments on equipment leases and notes and other ABS. 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 comprises a significant part of our expenses. Our net income will depend on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue. In our bank loans, CMBS, equipment leases and notes and other ABS, we 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 a long-term financing source. In our commercial real estate loan portfolio, we have used repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source, and CDOs and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as a long-term financing source. 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.

Beginning in the second half of 2007 and continuing through the first quarter of 2008, there have been unprecedented disruptions in the credit markets, abrupt and significant devaluations of assets directly or indirectly linked to the U.S. real estate finance markets, and the attendant removal of liquidity, both long and short term, from the capital markets. These conditions have had, and we expect will continue to have, an adverse effect on us and companies we finance. In particular, the market valuation for CMBS in our investment portfolio has been temporarily impaired and, as a result, our ability to finance has been significantly reduced. While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at March 31, 2008, we cannot assure you that further impairment will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely effected by market conditions.

The events occurring in the credit markets have impacted our financing and investing strategies. The market for securities issued by securitizations collateralized by assets similar to those in our investment portfolio has contracted severely. Since our sponsorship in June 2007 of RREF 2007-1, we have not sponsored any new securitizations and we expect our ability to sponsor new securitizations will be limited for the foreseeable future. Short-term financing through warehouse lines of credit and repurchase agreements has become less available and reliable as increasing volatility in the valuation of assets similar to those we originate has increased the risk of margin calls. To reduce our exposure to margin calls or facility terminations, we have been paying down various repurchase agreement borrowings that finance CMBS and other securities that we hold. During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, we paid down repurchase borrowings by $5.1 million. In addition, we have funded margin calls for additional collateral on a term facility that finances several commercial real estate loans by $6 million during the same three month period. These events have impacted (and we expect will continue to impact) our ability to finance our business on a long-term, match-funded basis and may impede our ability to originate loans and securities.

Beginning in the second half of 2007, we have focused on managing our exposure to liquidity risks primarily by reducing our exposure to possible margin calls under repurchase agreements, seeking to conserve our liquidity. We have continued to manage our liquidity and originate new assets primarily through capital recycling as payoffs occur and through existing capacities within our completed securitizations. To illustrate these efforts, within our commercial real estate loan portfolio we had uninvested cash of $54.0 million at December 31, 2007 coupled with the proceeds of a loan that paid off of $11.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to originate a new loan of $20.8 million and transfer $42.8 million of commercial real estate loans into RREF CDO 2006-1. The proceeds from the transfer of commercial real estate loans into RREF CDO 2006-1 were used to repay related repurchase agreement debt of $26.3 million and the remaining $16.5 million became unrestricted cash during the period. As of March 31, 2008, our repurchase agreement exposure was $49.2 million on commercial real estate loans and $17.7 million on CMBS and commercial real estate CDO notes.

We expect to continue to generate net investment income from our current investment portfolio and generate dividends for our shareholders. We continue to seek additional sources of financing, including expanded bank financing, and use of co-investment, participations and joint venture strategies that will enable us to originate investments and generate fee income while preserving capital.

We consolidate variable interest entities, or VIEs, if we determine we are the primary beneficiary, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, FASB Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as revised, or FIN 46-R. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we sold ten percent of our equity investment in Ischus CDO II to an independent third party at market value. The sale was deemed to be a reconsideration event under FIN 46-R and we determined we were no longer the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we deconsolidated Ischus CDO II and recognized income in our investment in Ischus CDO II using the cost recovery method. Our investment in Ischus CDO II was fully recovered during the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized $997,000 of interest income on this investment which we record on our income statement as interest income – other. No additional cash has been collected since March 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 2008, we had invested 74% of our portfolio in commercial real estate-related assets 25% in commercial bank loans and 1% in direct financing leases and notes. As of December 31, 2007, we had invested 75% of our portfolio in commercial real estate-related assets, 24% in commercial bank loans and 1% in direct financing leases and notes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following represents our most critical accounting policies and estimates. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the discussion our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations − Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses. Loans and leases held for investment are first individually evaluated for impairment, and then evaluated as a homogeneous pool as loans with substantially similar characteristics for impairment. The reviews are performed at least quarterly.

We consider a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, 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 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 the collection is not warranted, then we will record a charge-off or write-down of the loan against the allowance for credit losses.

The balance of impaired loans and leases was $17.2 million at March 31, 2008. The total balance of impaired loans and leases with a valuation allowance at March 31, 2008 was $16.9 million. All of the loans deemed impaired at March 31, 2008 have an associated valuation allowance. The total balance of impaired leases without a specific valuation allowance was $360,000 at March 31, 2008. The specific valuation allowance related to these impaired loans and leases was $2.7 million at March 31, 2008. The average balance of impaired loans and leases was $16.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008. We did not recognize any income on impaired loans and leases during 2008.

The balance of impaired loans and leases was $17.4 million at December 31, 2007. The total balance of impaired loans and leases with a valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 was $17.0 million. All of the loans deemed impaired at December 31, 2007 have an associated valuation allowance. The total balance of impaired leases without a specific valuation allowance was $359,000 at December 31, 2007. The average balance of impaired loans and leases was $4.3 million during 2007. We did not recognize any income on impaired loans and leases during 2007 once each individual loan or lease became impaired.

An impaired loan or lease may remain on accrual status during the period in which we are pursuing repayment of the loan or lease; however, the loan or lease would be placed on non-accrual status at such time as either (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 our carrying value of such loan. While on non-accrual status, we recognize interest income only when an actual payment is received.

The following tables show the changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Allowance for loan loss at January 1, 2008	$	5,918

Classifications and Valuation of Investment Securities

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements as investment securities available-for-sale and derivatives have always been disclosed at fair value. SFAS 157 establishes a 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. We determined fair value based on quoted prices when available or 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. SFAS 157’s hierarchy 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.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter; and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, we expect 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. Investment securities available-for-sale are measured with dealer quotes and income valuation approaches using the following types of inputs:

·	Other ABS is priced using consensus pricing and a dealer quote.

The following is a discussion of the valuation techniques applied to derivatives for fair value measurement.

The following table presents information about our assets (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by us to determine such fair value.

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets Level 1		Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2			Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3		Balance as of March 31, 2008
Securities available-for-sale	$	−	$	−		$	48,771	$	48,771
Derivatives, net		−		(24,454	)		−		(24,454	)
Total	$	−	$	(24,454	)	$	48,771	$	24,317

The following table presents additional information about assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which we have utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value.

	Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Securities Available-for-Sale
Beginning balance	$	65,464
Total gains or losses (realized/unrealized):
Included in earnings		(2,000	)
Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net)		(7,963	)
Included in other comprehensive income		(6,730	)
Ending balance	$	48,771

We had $2.0 million of losses includes in earnings due to the sale of one asset during the three months ended. The loss is included on consolidated statement of income as net realized (losses) gains on sales of investments.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” or SFAS 115, requires us to classify our investment portfolio as either trading investments, available-for-sale investments or held-to-maturity investments. Although we generally plan to hold most of our investments to maturity, we may from time to time sell any of our investments due to changes in market conditions or in accordance with our investment strategy. Accordingly, SFAS 115 requires us to classify all of our investment securities as available-for-sale. We report all investments classified as available-for-sale at fair value, based on market prices provided by dealers, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

We evaluate our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary impairment charges in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments.” SFAS 115 and EITF 03-1 require an investor to determine when an investment is considered impaired (i.e., decline in fair value below its amortized cost), evaluate whether the impairment is other than temporary (i.e., the investment value will not be recovered over its remaining life), and, if the impairment is other than temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. The guidance also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. EITF 03-1 also includes disclosure requirements for investments in an unrealized loss position for which other-than-temporary impairments have not been recognized.

While the available-for-sale investments have continued to decline in fair value, their change continues to be temporary. In particular, with respect to CMBS, all assets are current with respect to interest and principal payments. In addition, 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. Our review concludes, that there exist no credit characteristics that would indicate other-than-temporary impairments as of March 31, 2008.

We record investment securities transactions on the trade date. We record purchases of newly issued securities when all significant uncertainties regarding the characteristics of the securities are removed, generally shortly before settlement date. We determine realized gains and losses on investment securities on the specific identification method.

Repurchase Agreements

We have used repurchase agreements as a financing source in acquiring our commercial real estate loans and CMBS-private placement portfolios, and have used repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source for our commercial real estate loan portfolio prior to the execution of a CDO. Although structured as a sale and purchase obligation, a repurchase agreement operates as a financing arrangement under which we pledge our securities as collateral to secure a loan which is equal in value to a specified percentage of the estimated fair value of the pledged collateral, while we retain beneficial ownership of the pledged collateral. We carry these repurchase agreements at their contractual amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. We recognize interest expense on all borrowings on an accrual basis.

We have from time to time purchased debt investments from a counterparty and subsequently financed the acquisition of those debt investments through repurchase agreements with the same counterparty. We currently record the acquisition of the debt investments as assets and the related repurchase agreements as financing liabilities gross on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income earned on the debt investments and interest expense incurred on the repurchase obligations are reported gross on our consolidated income statements. However, under an interpretation of SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” such transactions may not qualify as a purchase by us. We believe, and it is industry practice, that we are accounting for these transactions in an appropriate manner. However, the result of this technical interpretation would prevent us from presenting the debt investments and repurchase agreements and the related interest income and interest expense on a gross basis on our financial statements. Instead, we would present the net investment in these transactions with the counterparty and a derivative with the corresponding change in fair value of the derivative being recorded through earnings. The value of the derivative would reflect changes in the value of the underlying debt investments and changes in the value of the underlying credit provided by the counterparty. There were no such transactions as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards, or FASB issued FASB Staff Position 140-3, or FSP FAS 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions,” which provides guidance on accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and repurchase financing, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect FSP FAS 140-3 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments

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

Results of Operations − Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $9.4 million, or $0.38 per weighted average common share (basic and diluted) as compared to $9.4 million, or $0.39 per weighted average common share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest Income

The following table sets forth information relating to our interest income recognized for the periods presented (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008							Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Interest income decreased $3.0 million (8%) to $37.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We attribute this decrease to the following:

Interest Income from Securities Available-for-Sale

Interest income from securities available-for-sale decreased $6.2 million (84%) to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest income from our ABS-RMBS, CMBS and Other ABS portfolio generated $6.3 million, $354,000 and $354,000, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2007. No interest income from this portfolio was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as a result of the deconsolidation of Ischus CDO II on November 13, 2007 following our sale of a 10% portion of our equity ownership, a reconsideration event in accordance with FIN 46-R.

This decrease was partially offset by the contribution from CMBS-private placement of $1.2 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $401,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $831,000 (207%). This increase resulted primarily from the increase of the weighted average balance on these securities to $82.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest Income from Loans

The decrease in interest income from securities-available-for-sale was partially offset by an increase in interest income from loans. Interest income from loans increased $2.1 million (7%) to $32.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Bank loans generated $16.2 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $604,000 (4%). This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $125.6 million in the weighted average balance of assets to $940.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $815.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as a result of the acquisition of investments for and the closing of our third Apidos CDO. The effects of the increase in the amount of bank loans were partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average rate earned by our bank loans to 6.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 7.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily from the decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for the rates payable by these loans.

Commercial real estate loans produced $16.3 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $1.6 million (11%). This increase resulted from the increase in weighted average balance of $188.5 million on our commercial real estate loans to $860.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $671.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the accumulation of assets for our second CRE CDO, RREF 2007-1. This increase was partially offset by the following:

a decrease in the weighted average rate to 7.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 8.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily as a result of the decrease in LIBOR which is a reference index for the rates payable by these loans; and

the acceleration of loan origination fees of $495,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the sale of loans. There was no such acceleration of loan origination fees for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Interest Income - Other

The decrease in interest income from securities-available-for-sale was also partially offset by an increase in interest income-other. Interest income-other increased $1.0 million (225%) to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $423,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from an increase in interest income from our equity method investment in Ischus CDO II. We use the cost recovery method to recognize the income on this investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $997,000 of interest income was recognized on this investment. No such income was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest Expense

The following tables set forth information relating to our interest expense incurred for the periods presented (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2008						Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
			Weighted Average						Weighted Average
	Interest Expense		Yield		Balance		Interest Expense		Yield		Balance

Total interest expense	$	23,148					$	26,789

Interest expense decreased $3.7 million (14%) to $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest expense on bank loans was $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $714,000 (6%). This decrease resulted primarily from the weighted average rate on the debt related to bank loans which decreased to 4.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 5.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due primarily to the decrease in the LIBOR rate. This decrease was partially offset by the following:

The increase of $122.5 million in the weighted average balance of debt to $906.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $783.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily related to the accumulation of investments by, and the closing of our third bank loan CDO, Apidos Cinco CDO, which closed on May 30, 2007 and issued $322.0 million of debt.

We amortized $381,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to the CDO financings for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $232,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS, which we refer to collectively as ABS, were pooled and financed by Ischus CDO II. Interest expense related to these obligations was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. There was no such interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to the deconsolidation of Ischus CDO II on November 13, 2007 as a result of the sale of a 10% portion of our equity ownership, a reconsideration event in accordance with FIN 46-R.

Interest expense on CMBS-private placement was $77,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $337,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $260,000 (77%) due to a majority of the assets being financed by CDO debt for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, most of the assets were held outside of the CDOs.

Interest expense on leasing activities was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $126,000 (9%) resulting from the decrease in the commercial paper index, which is a reference index for the rate payable on this facility.

These decreases in interest expense were partially offset by interest expense on commercial real estate loans which generated $8.5 million of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $2.0 million (29%). This increase resulted primarily from the following:

The increase of $300.0 million in the weighted average balance of debt primarily related to the accumulation of investments by, and the closing of our second CRE CDO, RREF 2007-1, which closed on June 26, 2007 and issued $348.9 million of debt.

We amortized $348,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to the CDO financings for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $144,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The increase in the weighted average balance and the increase in issuance cost amortization were partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average rate to 4.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 6.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the decrease in LIBOR.

The decrease in interest expense was also partially offset by the increase in general interest expense which generated $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 an increase $1.1 million (88%). This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $1.3 million in expense on our derivatives due to the fact that the fixed rate we paid under these agreements exceeded the floating rate we received due to the decrease in LIBOR.

Non-Investment Expenses

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008		2007
Management fee – related party	$	1,738	$	2,032
Equity compensation − related party		81		486
Professional services		792		692
Insurance		128		121
General and administrative		355		412
Income tax expense		29		145
Total	$	3,123	$	3,888

Management fee–related party decreased $294,000 (14%) to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. These amounts represent compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement. The base management fees decreased by $112,000 (9%) to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was due to decreased equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, as a result of the buyback of 263,000 shares during the third and fourth quarters of 2007. Incentive management fees decreased by $182,000 (24%) to $564,000 from $745,000, as a result of a decrease of $663,000 in our adjusted GAAP income, as defined in the management agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to March 31, 2007. The decrease is also a result of an increase in the number of weighted average common shares outstanding, a component in the formula by which incentive management fees are calculated, during for the months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to March 31, 2007.

Equity compensation–related party decreased $405,000 (83%) to $81,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $486,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. These expenses relate to the amortization of the March 8, 2005 grant of restricted common stock and options to the Manager, 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, Inc., or RAI, who provide investment management services to us through our Manager. The decrease in expense was primarily the result of our quarterly remeasurement of unvested stock and options as a result of the decrease in our stock price as well as the vesting of the remaining stock and options related to the March 8, 2005 grants of restricted stock and options to the Manager and the vesting of one third of the January 5, 2007 grant of restricted stock. This was partially offset by discretionary grants during 2007.

Professional services increased $100,000 (14%) to $792,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $692,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to the following:

a $52,000 increase in legal fees mostly related to compliance.

a $27,000 increase in LEAF servicing expense due to the increase in managed assets in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

a $24,000 increase in trustee fees due to the addition of the Apidos Cinco and RREF 2007-1 CDOs in May and June 2007, respectively. No trustee fees were paid for these CDOs during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

General and administrative expenses decreased $57,000 (14%) to $355,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $412,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. These expenses include expense reimbursements to our Manager, rating agency expenses and all other operating costs incurred. These increases were primarily the result of a decrease of $128,000 in reimbursements to our manager due to a determination by our Manager not to seek reimbursement of a portion of general office expenses for which reimbursement is permitted under our management agreement. This was offset by $56,000 in bank fees related to the cost of servicing our commercial real estate portfolio.

Income tax expense decreased $116,000 (80%) to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of a decrease in net income on our taxable REIT subsidiary, Resource TRS, Inc.. The decrease was a result of the increase in swap expense of $287,000 partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $120,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Other (Expenses) Revenues

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008			2007
Net realized (losses) gains on sales of investments	$	(2,346	)	$	70
Other income		33			36
Provision for loan and lease loss		(786	)		−
Gain on the extinguishment of debt		1,750			−
Total	$	(1,349	)	$	106

Net realized losses (gains) on investments decreased $2.4 million (3,451%) to a loss of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from a gain of $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Realized losses during the three months ended March 31, 208 consisted primarily of a $2.0 million loss on the sale of one of our CMBS – private placement positions. In addition, we incurred $350,000 of losses on the sale of bank loan positions during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Our provision for loan and lease losses was $786,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. It consisted of a $729,000 provision for loan loss on our bank loan portfolio and a $56,000 provision for loan loss on our commercial real estate portfolio. There was no allowance deemed necessary for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The principal reason for the increase in the provision for loan and lease losses was due to impairment recognized on one bank loan in addition to impairment recognized in 2007. We also increased our general reserve due to an increase in the size of our bank loan and commercial real estate loan portfolios.

Gain on the extinguishment of debt is due to the buyback of a portion of debt issued by RREF 2007-1 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The notes, issued at par, were bought back as an investment by us at a price of 65%. The repurchase of $5.0 million par resulted in a gain of $1.8 million. The related deferred debt issuance costs were immaterial. There was no such transaction in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Income Taxes

We do not pay federal income tax on income we distribute to our stockholders, subject to our compliance with REIT qualification requirements. However, Resource TRS, our domestic TRS, is taxed as a regular subchapter C corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, Resource TRS recognized a $29,000 provision for income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, Resource TRS recognized a $145,000 provision for income taxes.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we held $48.5 million and $64.6 million, respectively, of CMBS-private placement at fair value which is based on certain valuation techniques, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations − Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” net of unrealized losses of $23.9 million and $17.8 million, respectively. The portfolio was purchased at a discount. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $4.0 million and $4.1 million, respectively. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.

In November 2007, we sold a portion of our preferred shares in Ischus CDO II to an independent third party. The sale was deemed to be a reconsideration event under FIN 46-R and as a result, we were no longer considered the primary beneficiary and Ischus CDO II was deconsolidated. We currently recognize income on our remaining investment using the cost recovery method. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $1.3 million of cash receipts was collected of which, $997,000 was recognized as interest income – other on the consolidated statement of income. No additional cash has been collected since March 31, 2008.

(1)	The total does not include a provision for loan losses of $3.2 million recorded as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

We have one mezzanine loan, with a book value of $11.6 million, net of a reserve of $1.1 million that is secured by 100% of the equity interests in two enclosed regional shopping malls. A cash trap event has been triggered as a result of the properties failing to achieve certain operating hurdles originally set forth in the loan documents. Currently, all excess cash flow is being held in a curtailment reserve by the senior lender. As of March 31, 2008, the loan is more than 30 days past due for payment. We continue to work closely with the borrower and special servicer toward a resolution.

Bank Loans

At March 31, 2008, we held a total of $831.2 million of bank loans at fair value, all of which are held by and secure the debt issued by Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO. This is a decrease of $43.6 million over our holdings at December 31, 2007 at fair value. The decrease in the fair value of bank loans was principally due to the reduction of market prices. We own 100% of the equity issued by Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO. We have determined that Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco are variable interest entities, or VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiaries. See “-Variable Interest Entities.” As a result, we consolidated Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO as of March 31, 2008.

Variable Interest Entities

In December 2003, FASB issued FIN 46-R which addresses the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to a variable interest entity, or VIE, and requires that the assets, liabilities and results of operations of a VIE be consolidated into the financial statements of the enterprise that has a controlling financial interest in it. The interpretation provides a framework for determining whether an entity should be evaluated for consolidation based on voting interests or significant financial support provided to the entity which we refer to as variable interests. We consider all counterparties to a transaction to determine whether a counterparty is a VIE and, if so, whether our involvement with the entity results in a variable interest in the entity. We perform analyses to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2008, we determined that Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO were VIEs and that we were the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. We own 100% of the equity interests of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO. As a result of the application of FIN 46-R, we consolidated $1.7 billion of assets for these entities onto our balance sheet; however, only our equity investments in these VIEs, amounting to $273.9 million as of March 31, 2008, is available to our creditors.

Interest Receivable

At March 31, 2008, we had accrued interest receivable of $9.6 million, which consisted of $9.5 million of interest on our securities, loans and equipment leases and notes, and $102,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. At December 31, 2007, we had interest receivable of $12.0 million, which consisted of $11.7 million of interest on our securities, loans and equipment leases and notes and $228,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts.

Principal Paydown Receivables

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had principal paydown receivables of $189,000 and $836,000, respectively, which consisted of principal payments on our bank loans. The decrease was primarily due to one position at December 31, 2007 and the timing of when the principal was paid.

Other Assets

Other assets at March 31, 2008 of $4.5 million consisted primarily of $3.2 million of loan origination costs associated with our revolving credit facility, commercial real estate loan portfolio and secured term facility, $340,000 of prepaid expenses, $742,000 of lease payment receivables and $242,000 of other receivables.

Other assets at December 31, 2007 of $4.9 million consisted primarily of $3.4 million of loan origination costs associated with our trust preferred securities issuances, revolving credit facility, commercial real estate loan portfolio and secured term facility, $85,000 of prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, $412,000 of prepaid expenses, $998,000 of lease payment receivables and $37,000 of other receivables.

Hedging Instruments

Our hedges at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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. As of December 31, 2007, we had entered into hedges with a notional amount of $347.9 million and maturities ranging from May 2009 to November 2017. We intend to continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future. Our hedges at March 31, 2008 were as follows (in thousands):

Borrowings

Repurchase Agreements

We have entered into repurchase agreements to finance our commercial real estate loans and CMBS-private placement portfolio. We discuss these repurchase agreements in “− Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below. These agreements are secured by the financed assets and bear interest rates that have historically moved in close relationship to LIBOR. At March 31, 2008, we had established nine borrowing arrangements with various financial institutions and had utilized four of these arrangements, principally our arrangement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, the initial purchaser and placement agent for our March 2005 offering and one of the underwriters in our two public offerings. None of the counterparties to these agreements are affiliates of the Manager or us.

We seek to renew the repurchase agreements we use to finance asset acquisitions as they mature under the then-applicable borrowing terms of the counterparties to our repurchase agreements. Through March 31, 2008, we have encountered no difficulties in effecting renewals of our repurchase agreements. However, we have had to post more collateral and/or pay down a particular repurchase agreement depending upon the market value of the securities or other collateral subject to that repurchase agreement.

Collaterized Debt Obligations

As of March 31, 2008, we had executed six CDO transactions as follows:

In June 2007, we closed Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, a $500.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans. The investments held by Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1 collateralized $390.0 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle, of which RCC Real Estate, Inc., or RCC Real Estate, purchased 100% of the class H senior notes, class K senior notes, class L senior notes and class M senior notes for $68.0 million and $5.0 million of the class J senior notes purchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. In addition, Resource Real Estate Funding 2007-1 CDO Investor, LLC, a subsidiary of RCC Real Estate, purchased a $41.3 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At March 31, 2008, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1 had $1.3 million of uninvested principal and $23.3 million of A1-R availability to fund future funding commitments on commercial real estate loans. At March 31, 2008, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 3.27%.

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, of which RCC Commercial Inc., or RCC Commercial, purchased a $28.0 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At March 31, 2008, Apidos Cinco CDO had $2.8 million in uninvested principal and $2.2 million in a credit facility reserve. At March 31, 2008, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 3.57%.

In August 2006, we closed Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, a $345.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans. The investments held by Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 collateralized $308.7 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle, of which RCC Real Estate, Inc., or RCC Real Estate, purchased 100% of the class J senior notes and class K senior notes for $43.1 million. At March 31, 2008, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 had $1.3 million of uninvested principal. At March 31, 2008, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 3.47%.

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. At March 31, 2005, Apidos CDO III had $4.7 million in uninvested principal and $878,000 in a credit facility reserve. At March 31, 2008, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 3.35%.

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, of which RCC Commercial purchased $23.0 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At March 31, 2008, Apidos CDO I had $9.7 million in uninvested principal and $851,000 in a credit facility reserve. At March 31, 2008, the notes issued to outside investors had a weighted average borrowing rate of 3.75%.

In July 2005, we closed Ischus CDO II, a $403.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for MBS and other asset-backed. The investments held by Ischus CDO II collateralize $376.0 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle, of which RCC Commercial purchased $28.5 million equity interest representing 100% of the outstanding preference shares. At November 13, 2007, we sold 10% of our equity interest and are no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, we deconsolidated Ischus CDO II at that date.

Trust Preferred Securities

In May and September 2006, we formed Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 46-R, or FIN 46-R, Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II are not consolidated into our consolidated financial statements because we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of either trust. We own 100% of the common shares of each trust, each of which issued $25.0 million of preferred shares to unaffiliated investors. Our rights as the holder of the common shares of each trust are subordinate to the rights of the holders of preferred shares only in the event of a default; otherwise, our economic and voting rights are pari passu with the preferred shareholders. We record each of our investments in the trusts’ common shares of $774,000 as an investment in unconsolidated entities and record dividend income upon declaration by each trust.

In connection with the issuance and sale of the trust preferred securities, we issued $25.8 million principal amount of junior subordinated debentures to each of Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II. The junior subordinated debentures debt issuance costs are deferred in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. We record interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures and amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of income. At March 31, 2008, the junior subordinated debentures had a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.92%.

Term Facility

In March 2006, we entered into a secured term credit facility with Bayerische Hypo – und Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch to finance the purchase of equipment leases and notes. The maximum amount of our borrowing under this facility is $100.0 million. At March 31, 2008, $90.0 million was outstanding under the facility. The facility bears interest at one of two rates, determined by asset class. The interest rate was 6.74% at March 31, 2008.

Credit Facility

In December 2005, we entered into a $15.0 million corporate credit facility with Commerce Bank, N.A. This facility was increased to $25.0 million in April 2006 and decreased to $10.0 million in April 2008 to reflect more closely the actual borrowing base available to us under the facility and to reduce fees payable on the amount available for borrowing under the facility. As a result, we do not believe the reduction will have a material impact on our current liquidity. The unsecured revolving credit facility permits us to borrow up to the lesser of the facility amount and the sum of 80% of the sum of our unsecured assets rated higher than Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by Standard and Poor’s plus our interest receivables plus 65% of our unsecured assets rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s and BBB- from Standard and Poor’s. Up to 20% of the borrowings under the facility may be in the form of standby letters of credit. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, no balance was outstanding under this facility. The interest rate varies from, in the case of LIBOR loans, from the adjusted LIBOR rate (as defined in the agreement) plus between 1.50% to 2.50% depending upon our leverage ratio (the ratio of consolidated total liability to consolidated tangible net worth) or, in the case of base rate loans, from Commerce Bank’s base rate plus between 0.50% and 1.50% also depending upon our leverage ratio.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2008 was $253.3 million and included $29.3 million of net unrealized losses on our CMBS-private placement and other asset-backed portfolio, and $26.3 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 was $271.6 million and included $15.7 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges and $22.6 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The decrease in stockholder’s equity during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was principally due to the decrease in the market value of our available-for-sale securities and on our cash flow hedges.

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

Estimated REIT Taxable Income

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

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2008			2007
Net income	$	9,363		$	9,439
Adjustments:
Share-based compensation to related parties		(147	)		5
Incentive management fee expense to related parties paid in shares		−			186
Capital loss carryover (utilization)/losses from the sale of securities		2,000			−
Provisions for loan and lease losses unrealized		56			−
Net book to tax adjustments for the Company’s taxable foreign REIT subsidiaries		775			−
Other net book to tax adjustments		8			41
Estimated REIT taxable income	$	12,055		$	9,671

Amounts per share – diluted	$	0.48		$	0.39

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

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 does not allow us to generate any material amount of investment funds from operations to fund investments or to provide operating liquidity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Sources

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we had both restricted and unrestricted sources of funds as follows:

Restricted - $66.6 million of principal repayments on investments held by our CDO issuers and $12.6 million of CDO future funding advances.


	·	Unrestricted - $17.5 million from the transfer of commercial real estate loans to RREF CDO 2006-1 after the repayment of related repurchase agreements and $10.0 million from the sale of available for sale securities.

Liquidity

Our liquidity needs consist principally of capital needed to make investments, make distributions to our stockholders, pay our operating expenses, including management fees and our approved share repurchase plan. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations, and, with respect to our investments, our ability to obtain debt financing and equity capital. We may seek to increase our capital resources through offerings of equity securities (possibly including common stock and one or more classes of preferred stock), CDOs, trust preferred securities or other forms as has been available to us in the past of term financing. However, the availability of any such financing will depend on market conditions which, as discussed in “Overview”, have recently been subject to substantial volatility and reduction in liquidity. If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on substantially similar terms, we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments. If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such investments, which could result in losses and reduced income.

At April 30, 2008, RCC’s liquidity consists of three primary sources:

unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $7.5 million, and restricted cash of $8.9 million comprised of $5.5 million in margin call accounts and $3.4 million related to our leasing portfolio;

capital available for reinvestment in our five CDOs of $56.0 million, which is made up of $34.4 million of restricted cash and $21.6 million of availability to finance future funding commitments on commercial real estate loans; and

financing available under existing borrowing facilities of $19.7 million, comprised of $12.1 million of available cash from our three year non-recourse secured financing facility and $7.6 million of unused capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility. We also have $85.8 million of unused capacity under our three-year non-recourse commercial real estate repurchase facility, which, however, requires approval of individual repurchase transactions by the repurchase counterparty.

We anticipate that, depending upon market conditions and credit availability, upon repayment of each borrowing under a repurchase agreement, we will immediately use the collateral released by the repayment as collateral for borrowing under a new repurchase agreement to maximize liquidity. Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our leverage ratio was 6.8 times and 6.4 times, respectively. This increase was primarily due to the decrease in fair market value adjustments that are recorded in the statement of stockholders equity through accumulated other comprehensive loss due to available-for-sale securities and derivatives and offset by the repayment of repurchase agreements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The table below summarizes our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2008. The table below excludes contractual commitments related to our derivatives, which we discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007 in Item 7A − “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” and in “Financial Condition − Hedging Instruments,” above and incentive fee payable under the management agreement that we have with our Manager, which we discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007 in Item 1 − “Business” and Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” because those contracts do not have fixed and determinable payments.

(1)	Includes accrued interest of $104,000.

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

At March 31, 2008, we had 31 interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $340.0 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, 2008, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 5.14% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 2.70%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2008, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance vehicles special purpose entities or VIEs, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, as of March 31, 2008, we had not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Recent Developments

On March 11, 2008, we announced a quarterly distribution of $0.41 per share of common stock which was paid on April 28, 2008 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2008.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the primary component of our market risk was interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.

The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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, 2008
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS(1)
Fair value	$	28,719		$	27,049		$	11,425
Change in fair value	$	1,670		$	−		$	(15,624	)
Change as a percent of fair value		6.17%						57.76%

Repurchase and warehouse agreements (2)
Fair value	$	161,796		$	161,796		$	161,796
Change in fair value	$	−		$	−		$	−

	December 31, 2007
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement (1)
Fair value	$	28,756		$	27,154		$	11,519
Change in fair value	$	1,602		$	−		$	(15,635	)
Change as a percent of fair value		5.90%			−			57.58%

Repurchase and warehouse agreements (2)
Fair value	$	207,908		$	207,908		$	207,908
Change in fair value	$	−		$	−		$	−
Change as a percent of fair value		−			−			−

Hedging instruments
Fair value	$	(33,731	)	$	(18,040	)	$	(3,234	)
Change in fair value	$	(15,691	)	$	−		$	14,806
Change as a percent of fair value		N/M			−			N/M

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

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

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

It is important to note that the impact of changing interest rates on fair value can change significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could increase significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the yield curve, market expectations as to future interest rate changes and other market conditions. Accordingly, in the event of changes in actual interest rates, the change in the fair value of our assets would likely differ from that shown above and such difference might be material and adverse to our stockholders.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in 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.

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