The Company’s investment securities, trading and investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value. To determine fair value, the Company uses an independent third-party valuation firm utilizing data available in the market as well as appropriate prepayment default, and recovery rates. These valuations are validated utilizing dealer quotes or bids. If there is a material difference between the value indicated by the third-party valuation firm and the dealer quote or bid, the Company will evaluate the difference which could result in an updated valuation from the third-party or a revised dealer quote. Based on a prioritization of inputs used in valuation of each position, the Company categorizes these investments as either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Any changes in fair value to the Company's investment securities, trading are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income as net realized and unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities, trading. Any changes in fair value to the Company's investment securities available-for-sale are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity.

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

The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying properties in order to analyze current and projected security performance. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company’s income approach when determining other-than temporary impairment and, when inputs are subjected to testing for economic changes within possible ranges, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal and interest indicating no impairment:


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


•	the severity of the impairment;


•	the expected loss of the security as generated by a third-party valuation model;


•	original and current credit ratings from the rating agencies;


•	underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities;


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


•	third-party support for default, for recovery, prepayment speed and reinvestment price assumptions.

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

Investment Interest Income Recognition

Interest income on the Company’s mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities is accrued using the effective yield method based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal amount of the underlying mortgages or other assets. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the securities also using the effective yield method, adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments. For an investment purchased at par, the effective yield is the contractual interest rate on the investment. If the investment is purchased at a discount or at a premium, the effective yield is computed based on the contractual interest rate increased for the accretion of a purchase discount or decreased for the amortization of a purchase premium. The effective yield method requires the Company to make estimates of future prepayment rates for its investments that can be contractually prepaid before their contractual maturity date so that the purchase discount can be accreted, or the purchase premium can be amortized, over the estimated remaining life of the investment. The prepayment estimates that the Company uses directly impact the estimated remaining lives of its investments. Actual prepayment estimates are reviewed as of each quarter end or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any material information that would lead it to believe that an adjustment is necessary. If prepayment estimates are incorrect, the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts may have to be adjusted, which would have an impact on future income.

Allowance for Loan Loss

The Company maintains an allowance for loan loss. For the Company's bank and CRE loan portfolios, loans held for investment are first individually evaluated for impairment to determine whether a specific reserve is required. Loans that are not determined to be impaired individually are then evaluated for impairment as a homogeneous pool of loans with substantially similar characteristics so that a general reserve can be established, if needed. The reviews are performed at least quarterly.

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

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

An impaired loan may remain on accrual status during the period in which the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan; however, the loan would be placed on non-accrual status at such time as (i) management believes that scheduled debt service payments will not be met within the coming 12 months; (ii) the loan 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 for such loan. While on non-accrual status, the Company recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received. When a loan is placed on non-accrual, previously accrued interest is reversed from interest income.

Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impaired loans are carried at fair value and are measured on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value is determined using unobservable inputs including estimates of selling costs (Level 3).

For the Company's residential mortgage loans, the allowance is based upon management's review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, or special mention. For such loans that are also identified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. A general component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The general component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are carried net of accumulated depreciation. Costs directly related to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Ordinary repairs and maintenance which are not reimbursed by the tenants are expensed as incurred. Costs related to the improvement of the real property are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives.

Acquisitions of real estate assets and any related intangible assets are recorded initially at fair value under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. The Company allocates the purchase price of its investments in real estate to land, building, site improvements, the value of in-place leases and the value of above or below market leases. The value allocated to above or below market leases is amortized over the remaining lease term as an adjustment to rental income. The Company amortizes the value allocated to in-place leases over the weighted average remaining lease term to depreciation and amortization expense. The Company depreciates real property using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



Category	Term
Building	25 – 40 years
Site improvements	Lesser of the remaining life of building or useful lives

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition. If impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the fair value of the asset.

There were no impairment charges recorded with respect to the Company’s investments in real estate or intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Recent Accounting Standards

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this update require an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections of the statement of financial position. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and new disclosures for disposal transactions of individually significant components of an entity that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Additionally, this guidance both permits and expands the disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for all disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for sale. The Company has early adopted the provisions of this guidance. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Furthermore, the guidance requires interim and annual disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the characteristics of an investment company, provides comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company and requires an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. The guidance also requires additional disclosure. This guidance is effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation.

NOTE 3 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company has evaluated its securities, loans, investments in unconsolidated entities, liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing preferred securities (consisting of unsecured junior subordinated notes) and its securitizations in order to determine if they qualify as VIEs. The Company monitors these investments and, to the extent it has determined that it owns a material investment in the current controlling class of securities of a particular entity, analyzes the entity for potential consolidation. The Company will continually analyze investments and liabilities, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such investments or liabilities are VIEs and whether such VIE should be consolidated. This analysis requires considerable judgment in determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE and could result in the consolidation of an entity that would otherwise not have been consolidated or the non-consolidation of an entity that otherwise would have been consolidated.

Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is the primary beneficiary of nine VIEs at March 31, 2014: Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1, Whitney CLO I, RCC CRE Notes 2013 and Moselle CLO. In performing the primary beneficiary analysis for seven of these VIEs (other than Whitney CLO I and Moselle CLO, which are discussed below), it was determined that the parties that have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to each of these VIEs and the Company who has the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to these VIEs, are a related party group. It was then determined that the Company was the party within that group that is more closely associated to each such VIE considering the design of the VIE, the principal-agency relationship between the Company and other members of the related-party group, and the relationship and significance of the activities of the VIE to the Company compared to the other members of the related-party group.

These securitizations were formed on behalf of the Company (except for Whitney CLO I and Moselle CLO) to invest in real estate-related securities, CMBS, property available-for-sale, bank loans, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The Manager manages these entities on behalf of the Company. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of bonds, the Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted equity returns and to match the term of its assets and liabilities. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception and is continually assessed.

Moselle CLO is a European securitization in which the Company purchased a $41.5 million interest in the form of subordinate notes representing 100% of the Class 1 Subordinated Notes and 67.9% of the Class 2 subordinated Notes in February 2014. The CLO is managed by an independent third-party and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLO. Though neither the Company nor one of its related parties manages the CLO, due to certain unilateral kick-out rights within the collateral management agreement, it was determined that the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Moselle CLO. Having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Moselle CLO and a financial interest that is expected to absorb both positive and negative variability in the CLO that could potentially be significant, the Company was determined to be the the primary beneficiary of Moselle CLO and, therefore, consolidated the CLO.

Whitney CLO I is a securitization in which the Company acquired rights to manage the collateral assets held by the entity in February 2011. For a discussion on the primary beneficiary analysis for Whitney, see “— Unconsolidated VIEs – Resource Capital Asset Management,” below.

For a discussion of the Company’s securitizations, see Note 1 and for a discussion of the debt issued through the securitizations, see Note 12.

For CLOs in which the Company does not own 100% of the subordinated notes, the Company imputes an interest rate using expected cash flows over the life of the CLO and records the third party's share of the cash flows as interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

The Company has exposure to losses on its securitizations to the extent of its subordinated debt and preferred equity interests in them. The Company is entitled to receive payments of principal and interest on the debt securities it holds and, to the extent revenues exceed debt service requirements and other expenses of the securitizations, distributions with respect to its preferred equity interests. As a result of consolidation, debt and equity interests the Company holds in these securitizations have been eliminated, and the Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflects both the assets held and debt issued by the securitizations to third parties and any accrued expense to third parties. The Company's operating results and cash flows include the gross amounts related to the securitizations' assets and liabilities as opposed to the Company's net economic interests in the securitizations. Assets and liabilities related to the securitizations are disclosed, in the aggregate, on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The creditors of the Company’s nine consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. However, in its capacity as manager, the Company has voluntarily supported two credits in one of its commercial real estate CDOs as the credits went through a restructuring in order to maximize their future cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has provided financial support of $539,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. The Company has provided no other financial support to any other of its VIEs nor does it have any requirement to do so, although it may choose to do so in the future to maximize future cash flows on such investments by the Company. There are no explicit arrangements or implicit variable interests that obligate the Company to provide financial support to any of its consolidated VIEs, although the Company may choose to do so in the future.

The following table shows the classification and carrying value of assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Unconsolidated VIEs (the Company is not the primary beneficiary, but has a variable interest)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs discussed below since it does not have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the following VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2014. The Company’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the “Maximum Risk Exposure” column in the table below.

LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.

On November 16, 2011, the Company together with LEAF Financial, Inc. ("LEAF Financial"), a subsidiary of Resource America, and LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LCC”), another subsidiary of Resource America, entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements (collectively the “SPA”) with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm, and its affiliates (“Eos”). In exchange for its prior interests in its lease related investments, the Company received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), 4,872 shares of newly issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis assuming conversion, a 26.7% interest in LCC. The Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $36.3 million based on a third-party valuation. Several approaches were used, including discounted expected cash flows, market approach and comparable sales transactions to estimate the fair value of its investment in LCC as a result of the transaction. These approaches required assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which were based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions. The Company recorded a loss of $2.2 million in conjunction with the transaction. The Company’s resulting interest is accounted for under the equity method. During 2013, the Company entered into a third stock purchase agreement with LCC to purchase 3,682 shares of newly issued Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the "Series A-1 Preferred Stock") for $3.7 million and 4,445 shares of newly issued Series E Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock") for $4.4 million. The Series E Preferred Stock has priority over all other classes of preferred stock. The Company's fully-diluted interest in LCC assuming conversion is 27.5%. The Company’s investment in LCC was recorded at $40.4 million and $41.0 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of LCC because it does not participate in any management or portfolio decisions, holds only two of six board positions, and only controls 27.5% of the voting rights in the entity. Furthermore, Eos holds consent rights with respect to significant LCC actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, consummation of a sale of the entity, liquidation or initiating a public offering.

Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures

The Company has a 100% interest in the common shares of Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“RCT II”), valued at $1.5 million in the aggregate (or 3% of each trust). RCT I and RCT II were formed for the purposes of providing debt financing to the Company, as described below. The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts and determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of either trust because it does not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the trusts, which include the collection of principal and interest and protection of collateral through servicing rights. Accordingly, neither trust is consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and records dividend income when declared by RCT I and RCT II. The trusts each hold subordinated debentures for which the Company is the obligor in the amount of $25.8 million for RCT I and $25.8 million for RCT II. The debentures were funded by the issuance of trust preferred securities of RCT I and RCT II. The Company will continuously reassess whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.

Resource Capital Asset Management CLOs

In February 2011, the Company purchased a company that managed $1.9 billion of bank loan assets through five CLOs. As a result, the Company became entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from these CLOs. The purchase price of $22.5 million resulted in an intangible asset that was allocated to each of the five CLOs and is amortized over the expected life of each CLO. The unamortized balance of the intangible asset was $10.8 million and $11.2 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized fee income of $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. With respect to four of these CLOs, the Company determined that it does not hold a controlling interest and, therefore, is not the primary beneficiary. One of the CLOs was liquidated in February 2013. With respect to the fifth CLO, Whitney CLO I, in October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of its preferred equity. Based upon that purchase, the Company determined that it did have an obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Whitney CLO I and that a related party had the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the VIE. As a result, together with the related party, the Company had both the power to direct and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses. It was then determined that, between the Company and the related party, the Company was the party within that group that was more closely associated with Whitney CLO I because of its preferred equity interest in Whitney CLO I. The Company, therefore, consolidated Whitney CLO I. In May 2013, the Company purchased additional equity in this CLO which increased its equity ownership to 68.3% of the outstanding preferred equity of the CLO. In September 2013, the Company liquidated Whitney CLO I, and, as a result, substantially all of the assets were sold.

The following table shows the classification, carrying value and maximum exposure to loss with respect to the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

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


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


•	the severity of the impairment;


•	the expected loss of the security as generated by a third-party valuation model;


•	original and current credit ratings from the rating agencies;


•	underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities;


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


•	third-party support for default, for recovery, prepayment speed and reinvestment price assumptions.

The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the properties underlying these securities in order to analyze current and projected security performance. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company’s income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are subjected to testing for economic changes within possible ranges, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal and interest indicating no impairment. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses of zero and $21,000, respectively, on positions that supported the Company’s CMBS investments.

The following table summarizes the Company's sales of investment securities available-for-sale during the period indicated (in thousands, except number of securities):



	Positions Sold	Par Amount Sold		Realized Gain (Loss)
March 31, 2014
CMBS position	3	$	12,500	$	(298	)

March 31, 2013
Corporate bond position	2	$	700	$	18

The amounts above do not include redemptions. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had one corporate bond position redeemed with a total par of $630,000, and recognized a loss of approximately $1,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had one ABS position redeemed with a total par of $2.5 million, and recognized a gain of $25,500. There were no such redemption during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on the Company’s investment portfolio. The aggregate discount (premium) due to interest rate changes were as follows (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company made no acquisitions. The Company has two assets classified as property available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2014. The Company confirmed the intent and ability to sell its office property in its present condition during the three months ended March 31, 2014. This property qualified for held for sale accounting treatment upon meeting all applicable criteria on or prior to March 31, 2014, at which time depreciation and amortization were ceased. As such, the assets associated with this property, with a carrying value of $9.6 million, are separately classified and included in property available-for-sale on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2014. However, the anticipated sale of this property did not qualify for discontinued operations and, therefore, the operations for all periods presented continue to be classified within continuing operations on the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company expects the sale to close in the next 12 months. The gain from the sale of this property will be recorded in gain on sale of real estate on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Pre-tax earnings recorded on this property for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were losses of $16,000 and $77,000, respectively. The Company's hotel property, which was classified as available-for-sale at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, sold during the second quarter of 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company made no acquisitions and sold one of its multi-family properties for a gain $16.6 million, which was recorded in gain on sale of real estate on the consolidated statements of income. The Company also confirmed the intent and ability to sell one of its other investments in real estate. This asset has been reclassified to property available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

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

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



	Rating 1		Rating 2		Rating 3		Rating 4		Rating 5		Held for Sale		Total
As of March 31, 2014

All of the Company’s bank loans were performing with the exception of one loan with an amortized cost of $1.6 million as of March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to the consolidation of Moselle CLO, the Company acquired five loans with deteriorated credit quality with an amortized cost of $612,000. As of December 31, 2013, all of the Company's bank loans were performing with the exception of three loans with an amortized cost of $3.6 million, one of which defaulted as of 2012, one of which defaulted as of March 31, 2013 and one of which defaulted as of June 30, 2013.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign grades to commercial real estate loans. Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-4 with 1 representing the Company’s highest rating and 4 representing its lowest rating. The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period ends at the lower of their fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales. In addition to the underlying performance of the loan collateral, the Company considers metrics such as the strength of underlying sponsorship, payment history, collectability of interest, structural credit enhancements, market trends and loan terms in grading its commercial real estate loans.

Residential Mortgage Loans

Residential mortgage loans are reviewed periodically for collectability in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing underlying conditions. The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period ends as held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost.

NOTE 11 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of the Company’s acquisition of RCAM in February 2011, its conversion of loans to investments in real estate in June 2011, and the acquisition of real estate in August 2011. The Company amortizes identified intangible assets to expense over their estimated lives or period of benefit using the straight-line method. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment as events and circumstances change. In October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of the preferred equity of, and began consolidating, Whitney CLO I, one of the RCAM CLOs (see Note 3 ). As a result of this transaction and the consolidation of Whitney CLO I, the Company wrote-off the unamortized balance of $2.6 million, the intangible asset associated with this CLO, which was recorded in gain (loss) on consolidation in the consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2012. In May 2013, the Company purchased additional equity, increasing its ownership percentage to 68.3%. Due to an event whereby a second CLO liquidated in early 2013, the Company accelerated the amortization of the remaining balance of its intangible asset and recorded a $657,000 charge to depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2012. Upon acquisition of PCA, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $600,000 related to its wholesale-correspondent relationships, which have a finite life of approximately two years.

The Company expects to record amortization expense on intangible assets of approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The weighted average amortization period was 7.5 years and 7.7 years at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively and the accumulated amortization was $11.5 million and $12.5 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Total intangible assets	$	24,303	$	(12,481	)	$	11,822

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of fee income related to the investment in RCAM.

On October 31, 2013, the Company through its taxable REIT subsidiary, RCC Residential, Inc. acquired PCA, an Atlanta based company that originates and services residential mortgage loans for approximately $7.6 million in cash. The total incremental expenses of the acquisition including legal and other professional fees were $333,000. All legal and professional fees were expensed as incurred. The Company’s acquisition of PCA represents a return to the residential mortgage investment market by providing a residential mortgage origination platform.

As part of this transaction, a key employee of PCA was granted approximately $800,000 of the Company’s restricted stock. The grant is accounted for as compensation and is being amortized to equity compensation expense over three years, the vesting period. Dividends declared on the stock while unvested are recorded as compensation expense. Dividends declared after the stock vests will be recorded as a distribution. For the year ended December 31, 2013, $48,000 of amortization of this stock grant was recorded to equity compensation expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of income and $27,000 of compensation expense related to dividends on unvested shares was recorded to general and administrative on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the Company’s best estimate of fair value with any shortage under the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to gain on bargain purchase. The gain on bargain purchase resulted from the stock grant described above being accounted for as compensation under GAAP and was recorded as other income (expense) on the Company's consolidate statement of income.

The valuation of the identified intangibles including wholesale and correspondent relationship assets totaling $600,000, which relates to PCA’s operations, was determined based upon estimated net profits, after taxes, to be received as a result of those relationships. The wholesale correspondent relationships are being amortized over their estimated useful life, two years.

Although no further purchase price adjustments for PCA are anticipated, the Company has not yet completed the process of estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on this investment. Accordingly, the Company's preliminary estimates and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as the Company completes the process. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, changes, if any, to the preliminary estimates and allocation will be reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements, retrospectively.

NOTE 12 – BORROWINGS

The Company historically has financed the acquisition of its investments, including investment securities, loan and lease receivables, through the use of secured and unsecured borrowings in the form of CDOs, securitized notes, repurchase agreements, secured term facilities, warehouse facilities and trust preferred securities issuances. Certain information with respect to the Company’s borrowings at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is summarized in the following table (in thousands, except percentages):

Resource America's Audit Committee noted that consolidation of the Company was not expected to materially affect Resource America's previously reported net income attributable to common shareholders. At March 31, 2014, Resource America owned 2,861,592 shares, or 2.2%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In addition, Resource America held 2,166 options to purchase restricted stock.

NOTE 18 – DISTRIBUTIONS

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

The Company’s 2014 dividends will be determined by the Company’s board of directors which will also consider the composition of any dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares.

The following tables presents dividends declared (on a per share basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

NOTE 19 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

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

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

The Company reports its investment securities available-for-sale at fair value. To determine fair value, the Company uses an independent third-party valuation firm utilizing data available in the market as well as appropriate prepayment, default, and recovery rates. These valuations are validated utilizing dealer quotes or bids. If there is a material difference between the value indicated by the third-party valuation firm and the dealer quote or bid, the Company will evaluate the difference which could result in an updated valuation from the third party or a revised dealer quote. Based on a prioritization of inputs used in the valuation of each position, the Company categorizes these investments as either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company reports its investment securities, trading at fair value, based on an independent third-party valuation. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the valuation it receives by using a dealer quote. If there is a material difference between the value indicated by the third party and a quote the Company receives, the Company will evaluate the difference. Any changes in fair value are recorded on the Company’s results of operations as net unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities, trading.

The CMBS underlying the Company’s linked transactions are valued using the same techniques as those used for the Company’s other CMBS. The value of the underlying CMBS is then netted against the carrying amount (which approximates fair value) of the repurchase agreement borrowing at the valuation date. The fair value of linked transactions also includes accrued interest receivable on the CMBS and accrued interest payable on the underlying repurchase agreement borrowings. The Company’s linked transactions are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives (interest rate swaps and interest rate caps), both assets and liabilities, are reported at fair value, and are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach with models that use, as their primary inputs, readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company assesses the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and, if material, categorizes those derivatives within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company is not able to obtain significant observable inputs and market data points due to a change in methodology whereby the Company began using a third party valuation firm to determine fair value. As a result, $94.9 million of CMBS (including certain CMBS accounted for as linked transactions, were reclassified to Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following table presents additional information about liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs (in thousands):

Unrealized losses – included in accumulated other comprehensive income	(350		)
Ending balance, March 31, 2014	$	9,841

The Company had zero and $21,000 of losses included in earnings due to the other-than-temporary impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These losses are included in the consolidated statements of income as net impairment losses recognized in earnings.

Loans held for sale consist of bank loans and CRE loans identified for sale due to credit concerns. Interest on loans held for sale is recognized according to the contractual terms of the loan and included in interest income on loans. The fair value of bank loans held for sale and impaired bank loans is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for these loans. As such, the Company classifies these loans as nonrecurring Level 2. For the Company’s CRE loans where there is no primary market, fair value is measured using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques and these loans are classified as nonrecurring Level 3. The amount of nonrecurring fair value losses for impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $440,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of income as provision for loan and lease losses.

The fair value of the Company’s Level 3 Loans held-for-investment was measured by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Loans receivable-related party are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

CDO notes are valued using the dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CDO in which the notes are held.

Junior subordinated notes are estimated by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

NOTE 20 – INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

A significant 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 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, 2014, the Company had 10 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.11% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $126.1 million at March 31, 2014. The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts at such date were Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo, with which the Company had master netting agreements.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had 12 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.03% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $129.5 million at December 31, 2013. The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts are Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo with which the Company has master netting agreements.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was $(10.2) million and $(10.6) million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $10.7 million and $10.8 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In connection with the August 2006 close of RREF CDO 2006-1, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $119,000, which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2006-1. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the June 2007 close of RREF CDO 2007-1, the Company realized a swap termination gain of $2.6 million, which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2007-1. The accretion is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the termination of a $53.6 million swap related to RREF CDO 2006-1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $4.2 million, which is being amortized over the term of a new $45.0 million swap. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In connection with the payoff of a fixed-rate commercial real estate loan during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company terminated a $12.7 million swap and realized a $574,000 swap termination loss, which is being amortized over the original term of the terminated swap. The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

The Company's mortgage banking subsidiary may use derivatives in the ordinary course of business that consist of forward sales contracts and interest rate lock commitments on residential mortgage loans. Forward sales contracts represent future commitments to deliver loans at a specified price and by a specified date and are used to manage interest rate risk on loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Rate lock commitments represent commitments to fund loans at a specific rate and by a specified time and are used to mitigate risk of changes in interest rate. These derivatives involve underling items, such as interest rates, and are designed to mitigate risk. Notional amounts are amounts on which calculations and payments are based, but which do not represent credit exposure, as credit exposure limited to the amounts required to be received or paid.

Forward sales contracts also contain an element of risk in that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In the event the parties to deliver commitments are unable to fulfill their obligations, the Company could potentially incur significant additional costs by replacing the positions at then current market rates. The Company manages its risk of exposure by limiting counterparties to those banks and institutions deemed appropriate by management and the Members. The Company does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, the Company does not expect to incur any cost related to counterparty default.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments. As market interest rates increase or decrease, the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and rate lock commitments will decline or increase accordingly. To offset this interest rate risk, the Company may enter into derivatives such as forward contracts to sell loans. The fair value of these forward sales contracts will change as market interest rates change, and the change in the value of these instruments is expected to largely, though not entirely, offset the change in fair value of loans held for sale and rate lock commitments. The objective of this activity is to minimize the exposure to losses on rate lock commitments and loans held for sale due to market interest rate fluctuations. The net effect of derivatives on earnings will depend on risk management activities and a variety of other factors, including market interest rate volatility, the amount of interest rate lock commitments that close, the ability to fill the forward contracts before expiration, and the time period required to close and sell loans.

ITEM 2 .	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

We are a diversified real estate investment trust that is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate-related debt and equity investments. We also make other commercial finance investments. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategies. We invest in a combination of real estate-related assets and, to a lesser extent, higher-yielding commercial finance assets. We have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through borrowing strategies seeking to match the maturities and repricing dates of our financings with the maturities and repricing dates of those investments, and have sought to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.

We are externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., or the Manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI), or Resource America, a specialized asset management company that uses industry-specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its commercial real estate, financial fund management and commercial finance operating segments. As of December 31, 2013 Resource America managed approximately $17.3 billion of assets in these sectors. To provide its services, the Manager draws upon Resource America, its management team and their collective investment experience.

We generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive from our assets and the cost to finance the purchase of those assets, from management of assets and from hedging interest rate risks. We generate revenues from the interest and fees we earn on our whole loans, A notes, B notes, mezzanine debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, bank loans, middle market loans other asset-backed securities, or ABS, and structured note investments. We also generate revenues from the rental and other income from real properties we own, from management of externally originated bank loans, from our residential mortgage origination business (acquired in October 2013), and from our investment in an equipment leasing business. Historically, we have used a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns and we have financed each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage. The cost of borrowings to finance our investments is a significant part of our expenses. Our net income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue. In our bank loan, CMBS and ABS portfolios, we historically have used warehouse facilities as a short-term financing source and collateralized debt obligations ("CDO") and collateralized loan obligations ("CLO"), and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources. In our commercial real estate loan portfolio, we historically have used repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source, and CDOs and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources. Our other term financing has consisted of long-term match-funded financing provided through long-term bank financing and asset-backed financing programs, depending upon market conditions and credit availability.

During 2013, the economic environment continued to be more positive in the United States, which resulted in several positive operating developments for us. Our ability to access the capital markets continued to improve, as evidenced by our common stock offering in April 2013, resulting in proceeds to us of $114.5 million, and by the success of our dividend reinvestment and share purchase program, or DRIP, which raised $19.2 million. In addition, we supplemented our common equity issuances with issuances of preferred stock through an at-the-market program which resulted in proceeds of $56.8 million in 2013 and $15.8 million in the first three months of 2014. We also completed a 6.0% convertible notes offering in October 2013 with proceeds of $111.1 million. This brought our total proceeds raised through our capital markets efforts to $317.4 million in 2013 and 2014 to date, after underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

(Back to Index)

Although economic conditions in the United States have improved, previous conditions in real estate and credit markets continue to affect both us and a number of our commercial real estate borrowers. Over a period of several years, we entered into loan modifications with respect to 17 of our outstanding commercial real estate loans. During the past three years, we have added to our provision for loan losses to reflect the effect of these conditions on our borrowers and have recorded both temporary and other than temporary impairments in the market valuation of CMBS and ABS in our investment portfolio. However, during 2012 and through December 31, 2013, the improved economic conditions led to a stabilization in the credit quality of our portfolio and, as a result, our provision for loan losses decreased significantly in 2013. We expensed provisions of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to a provision of $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This improving credit trend continued into 2014. In the first quarter ending March 31, 2014, we reversed provisions taken previously on the mezzanine portion of a loan secured by a hotel property as we project a full recovery of that position is now probable. Other comprehensive income saw a slight decline with respect to our available for sale securities portfolio and interest rate derivatives, a loss of $14.1 million at March 31, 2014 as compared to a loss of $14.0 million at December 31, 2013. While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at March 31, 2013, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions.

Beginning in 2011, we began to see a loosening of the credit markets and were able to take advantage of the situation by establishing several new financing arrangements, a trend that continued in 2012 when we closed two financing facilities totaling $250.0 million with Wells Fargo Bank and in 2013 when we closed a $200.0 million financing facility with Deutsche Bank AG, or DB. We continue to engage in discussions with potential financing sources about providing or expanding commercial real estate term financing to augment and cautiously grow our loan and security portfolio. We have expanded our borrowings with the use of term and additional repurchase agreements and are using them primarily to finance newly underwritten commercial real estate loans and the purchase of highly rated CMBS. We anticipate replacing these short-term borrowings with longer term financing in the form of securitization borrowings as we did with our newest commercial real estate, or CRE securitization, a $307.8 million CLO in December 2013. We expect to be able to continue the growth in our CRE portfolio to a critical amount required to access the securitization markets again during 2014. However, we caution investors that even as financing through the credit markets becomes more available, we may not be able to obtain economically favorable terms.

In terms of our investments and investment portfolio growth, we continued to see increased opportunities to deploy our capital. During 2013 and through March 31, 2014, we have underwritten 29 new CRE loans for a total of $432.8 million. These loans were in part financed through our CRE term facilities, legacy CRE CDO's and our new CRE securitization. We also purchased 19 newly underwritten CMBS for $47.7 million during the same time period all of which were financed with a Wells Fargo facility. In addition, we purchased 20 CMBS bonds for $86.4 million that were financed by short-term repurchase agreements and also purchased 7 CMBS bonds for $43.1 million where no debt financing sources were utilized. We have used recycled capital in our bank loan CLO structures to make new investments at discounts to par. We expect that the reinvested capital and related discounts will produce additional income as the discounts are accreted into interest income. In addition, the purchase of these investments at discounts allows us to build collateral in the CLO structures since we receive credit in these structures for these investments at par. From net discounts of approximately $6.0 million at December 31, 2013, we recognized income of approximately $739,000 in our bank loan CLO portfolio in the first quarter of 2014 and expect to accrete approximately $1.0 million into income for the remainder of calendar year 2014. However, we have no further capacity in two of our bank loan collateralized loan obligation issuers, or CLOs, and two real estate CDOs have ended their reinvestment periods. We have limited reinvestment capacity in one bank loan CLO where the reinvestment period ends in May 2014. We intend to use the existing capacity in our CMBS and CRE term credit facilities with Wells Fargo of $57.0 million and $153.4 million, respectively, and with Deutsche Bank of $196.3 million, as of March 31, 2014 to help finance new CRE loans and CMBS investments.

Conversely, we also saw a decline in our commercial finance assets, our bank loan portfolio as two of our CLOs were liquidated in 2013 and two or our CLOs have matured and as the collateral assets pay down, the proceeds are used to pay down the associated debt. This trend resulted in a substantial decline in our net interest income from bank loans in 2013, which continued into the first quarter of 2014. We began to mitigate this trend by investing in new CLOs in late 2013 and early 2014. We further expect to mitigate this trend by deploying capital into our middle-market lending business, which loans are similar in nature to bank loans, and in our growing commercial real estate lending platform.

Due to these recent developments, our increased ability to access credit markets, our recent capital markets efforts and our investment of a significant portion of our available unrestricted and restricted cash balances during 2013, we expect to continue to modestly increase our net interest income into 2014. However, because we believe that economic conditions in the United States are fragile, and could be significantly harmed by occurrences over which we have no control, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our expectations, or that we will not experience net interest income reductions.

On October 31, 2013, we, through RCC Residential, Inc., our newly-formed taxable REIT subsidiary, acquired a residential mortgage origination company, Primary Capital Advisors LC, or PCA, an Atlanta based firm for $7.6 million in cash. In addition, a key employee of PCA was granted approximately $800,000 in shares of our common stock that was subsequently accounted for as compensation. The shares of common stock were issued in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Of the $7.6 million cash consideration, $1.8 million was set aside in an escrow account as a contingency for potential purchase price adjustments. Our acquisition of PCA represents a return to the residential mortgage investment market, by providing us with our first residential mortgage origination platform. We intend to cautiously expand this business over the next 12 to 18 months while adding infrastructure, staff and new technology.

In the latter half of 2013, we seeded a middle market lending operation operated by our Manager with funds to invest on our behalf. These funds were derived from proceeds of sales from a partial liquidation of our trading portfolio. Our first investments were in bank loans purchased in the secondary market; however, in December 2013, we closed on a self-originated loan. We made additional investments of $31.5 million in the first quarter of 2014, which is trend we expect to continue through 2014, which will also help mitigate the revenues lost as a result of the liquidation and run-off of several bank loan CLOs.

As of March 31, 2014 we had invested 73% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 26% in commercial bank loans and 1% in other assets. As of December 31, 2013, we had invested 83% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 15% in commercial bank loans and 2% in other assets.

Results of Operations

Our net income allocable to common shares for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $15.1 million, or $0.12 per share (basic and diluted) as compared to net income allocable to common shares of $11.5 million, or $0.11 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Aggregate interest income decreased $6.2 million (19%) to $27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We attribute this decrease to the following:

Interest Income from Loans. Aggregate interest income from loans decreased $7.6 million (27%) to $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Interest income on bank loans decreased $11.0 million (62%) to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which principally was the result of the following:

•

a decrease in the weighted average loan balance of $625.6 million to $555.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013, principally due to the liquidation of two of our CLOs, Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I, in September 2013 and October 2013, respectively. In addition, two of our remaining CLOs (Apidos CLO I and Apidos CLO III) reached the end of their reinvestment periods in prior years and, as a result, any principal collected is used to pay down notes instead of being reinvested in new assets. Since the end of their reinvestment periods in July 2011 and 2012, respectively, Apidos CLO I and Apidos CLO III were paid down a total of $395.6 million par value of loans; and

•

a decrease in the weighted average yield to 4.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 6.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of the decrease in accretion income from Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I as a result of their liquidation, as well as a decrease in accretion income from Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III resulting from decreasing asset and discount balances.

Interest income on commercial real estate, or CRE, loans increased $3.4 million (34%) to $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase is a result of the following combination of factors:


•	an increase of $207.1 million in the weighted average loan balance to $910.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $703.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as we began to originate new loans financed by our Wells Fargo CRE credit facility, coupled with new equity raised, and by a new CRE securitization in December 2013; and


•	an increase in the weighted average yield to 5.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 5.68% during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as a result of newly originated real estate loans with higher stated interest rates than our legacy portfolio.

Interest Income from Securities. Aggregate interest income from securities increased $362,000 (10%) to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in interest income from securities resulted principally from the following:

Interest income on CMBS-private placement increased $842,000 (30%) to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase resulted from the following:

•

an increase in the weighted average balance of assets of $11.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $226.1 million from $215.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily as a result of the purchase of assets on our Wells Fargo CMBS facility beginning in February 2011 and purchases using three short-term repurchase agreements as well as proceeds from our common and preferred stock offerings; and


•	an increase in the weighted average yield of assets to 6.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 5.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily as a result of the collection of $730,000 in interest shortfalls on an impaired bond.

Interest income from ABS decreased $174,000 (37%) to $295,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $469,000 or the three months ended March 31, 2013 as a result of a decrease of the following:


•	a decrease in the weighted average yield during the three months ended March 31, 2014 to 4.71% from 6.91% during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as a result of the paydowns during 2013, which accelerated accretion income recognition; and


•	a $2.2 million decrease in the weighted average loan balance to $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as a result of paydowns in 2013 and paydowns and sales in 2014.

(Back to Index)

Interest income from corporate bonds decreased $249,000 (84%) to $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and was the result of our acquisition in October 2012 and in May 2013 of 66.6% and 1.7%, respectively, of the equity in Whitney CLO I which resulted in us consolidating this entity that held some corporate bonds. Whitney CLO I was subsequently liquidated in October 2013.

Interest Income - Other. Aggregate interest income-other increased $1.0 million (53%) to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Substantially all of this increase is related to the incremental interest income provided by our newly consolidated CLO, Moselle CLO.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Aggregate interest expense decreased $1.5 million (14%) to $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We attribute this decrease to the following:

Interest expense on bank loans was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $4.2 million (74%). This decrease resulted from the following:

•

a decrease in the weighted average balance of the related financings of $690.6 million to $528.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013 principally due to the call and liquidation of Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I in September 2013 and October 2013, respectively, which resulted in the paydown of all outstanding notes. In addition, Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III reached the end of their reinvestment periods in prior years. During the year ended December 31, 2013, Apidos CDO I paid down $245.7 million in principal amount of its CDO notes and Apidos CDO III paid down $129.2 million in principal amount of its CDO notes; and


•	a decrease in the weighted average yield to 1.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 1.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in expense from the prior year related to Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I which when they were liquidated and to lesser extent as a result of the pay down of notes at Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III.

Interest expense on CRE loans was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. an increase of $1.3 million (61%) as a result of the following:

•

The increase of $167.0 million in the weighted average balance of debt of to $573.8 million from $406.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of the consolidation of CRE Notes 2013, a securitization that closed in December 2013. The increase from the closing of CRE notes 2013 was partially offset by debt amortization of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, or RREF CDO 2006-1, and Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, or RREF CDO 2007-1, as they reached the end of their reinvestment periods in prior years. During the year ended 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014, the CDOs paid down a total of $160.1 million of notes; and


•	an increase in the weighted average yield to 2.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 2.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 which was due primarily to note paydowns of lower yield debt which increased the weighted average cost of these borrowings.

(Back to Index)

Securitized borrowings expense decreased $879,000 to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This interest expense was related to our subordinated investments in Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I which were called and liquidated in 2013.

Interest expense on convertible senior notes was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. In October 2013, we closed and issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.00% convertible senior notes due 2018. The discount will be amortized on a straight-line basis as additional interest expense through maturity.

Total other revenue	$	14,483		$	8,423

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Rental income decreased $1.0 million (17%) to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily related to the sale of a multi-family apartment building in September 2013.

Equity in net earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $2.4 million (574%) to earnings of $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 from a loss of $425,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in earnings was related to the following:


•	$834,000 from our investment in CVC Global Credit Opportunities Fund, L.P., which we made investments of $15.0 million beginning in May 2013; and


•	$1.8 million from the sale of two properties in which we owned equity interests.

Fee income increased $1.3 million (95%) to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase in income is primarily due to our October 2013 investment in PCA and the fees related to residential mortgage origination.

Net realized gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans increased $3.3 million (841%) to $3.7 million for for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $391,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily due to our recent investment in PCA and the gain on the sale of residential mortgage originations and to a lesser extent, the interest rate lock hedges in place on that portfolio.

Net realized and unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities, trading decreased $2.7 million (240%) to a loss of $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to a gain of $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily, as a result of pricing decreases, principally on one position which experienced larger than expected losses during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Realized gain (loss) and net interest income on linked transactions, net, increased $2.6 million (990%) to a gain of $2.3 million for three months ended March 31, 2014 from a loss of $259,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 principally as a result of pricing increases related to these positions. The amounts are related to our CMBS securities that are purchased with repurchase agreements with the same counterparty from whom the securities are purchased. These transactions are entered into contemporaneously or in contemplation of each other and are presumed not to meet sale accounting criteria. We account for these transactions on a net basis and record a forward purchase commitment to purchase securities (each, a “linked transaction”) at fair value.

This expense represents compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement as well as fees to the manager of our structured note portfolio. The changes are described below:

•

Base management fees increased by $419,000 (17%) to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was due to increased stockholders' equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, primarily as a result of the receipt of $19.3 million of proceeds from the sales of common stock through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, or DRIP, from January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014 as well as the receipt of $114.5 million from the proceeds of our April 2013 secondary common stock offering. In addition, we issued approximately 196,000 and 2.9 million shares of Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock, respectively, from January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014.


•	Incentive management fees related to our structured finance manager decreased by $301,000 (100%) to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in fees is primarily related to the decrease in the pricing on these assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Equity compensation - related party decreased $1.9 million (54%) to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. These expenses relate to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and annual and discretionary grants of restricted stock to employees of Resource America who provide investment management services to us through our Manager as well as to employees of our recently acquired residential mortgage company subsidiary. The decrease in expense was primarily the result of vestings during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as well as the decrease in our stock price and its impact on our quarterly remeasurement of the value of unvested stock of non-employees.

Rental operating expense decreased $541,000 (14%) to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and is primarily related to the sale of a multi-family apartment building in September 2013.

General and administrative expense - Corporate decreased $650,000 (19%) to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $3.5 million million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily the result of the following:


•	a decrease of $278,000 related to legal expenses due to the timing of when certain work was performed; and


•	a decrease of $244,000 in collateral management fees as a result of the call and liquidation of Apidos CDO VIII in October 2013.

General and administrative expense - PCA was $5.3 million and is entirely related to the acquisition of PCA, a residential mortgage and servicing origination business in October 2013.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $302,000 (27%) to $836,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $1.1 million three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease is the result of the sale of a multi-family property in September 2013 and to a lesser extent, the classification of a hotel property to held-for-sale as of January 31, 2014 and the ceasing of depreciation of the asset at that time.

Income tax expense decreased $1.7 million (99%) to $16,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the tax benefit from the loss generated on consolidation of Life Care Funding, LLC, or LCF, as a result of us obtaining a controlling interest during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Our provision for loan losses decreased $5.0 million (480%) to a benefit of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to a provision of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The following table summarizes the information relating our loan losses for the periods presented (in thousands):

Bank loan portfolio	612			(219		)
Total provision for loan losses	$	(3,960	)	$	1,042

CRE Loan Portfolio Provision

The principal reason for the decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 was the reversal of $4.5 million of reserves on a mezzanine loan position, which we expect to recover in full.

Bank Loan Portfolio Provision

The bank loan provision increased by $831,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to a provision $612,000 as compared to a benefit of $219,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The principal reason for the increase was due to an increase for positions sold at a a loss for credit reasons for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Financial Condition

Summary.

Our total assets were $2.3 billion at March 31, 2014 and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase in total assets was principally due to the increase in CRE and CMBS investments as well as the acquisition of a controlling interest in a CLO, which resulted in consolidation of its bank loans and ABS.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement. In the aggregate, we purchased our CMBS-private placement portfolio at a net discount. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $6.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the remaining premium to be amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $377,000 and $645,000, respectively. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized zero and $21,000 other-than-temporary impairment losses on positions that supported our CMBS investments. Securities classified as available-for-sale have increased on a net basis as of March 31, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 primarily due to new assets acquired through the consolidation of Moselle CLO. We perform an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance. Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to our income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal.

Bank Loans. At March 31, 2014, our consolidated securitizations, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, and Moselle CLO, as well as Resource TRS and RCC Commercial, held a total of $688.2 million of bank loans at fair value. The bank loans held by these entities secure the CDO notes they issued and are not available to satisfy the claims of our creditors. The aggregate fair value of bank loans held increased by $125.2 million over the fair value at December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition through consolidation of Moselle CLO during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Asset-backed securities. In November 2011, the investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio was reclassified to investment securities available-for-sale since management no longer intended to hold these positions until maturity. These investments are now held at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss reported in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheet. At March 31, 2014, we held a total of $36.8 million of ABS at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO and Moselle, all of which secure the debt issued by these entities. At December 31, 2013, we held a total of $26.7 million of ABS at fair value through Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO, all of which secure the debt issued by these entities. The increase in total ABS was due to the acquisition and consolidation of Moselle CLO that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Credit quality indicators

Bank Loans

We use a risk grading matrix to assign grades to bank loans. Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-5 with 1 representing our highest rating and 5 representing our lowest rating. We consider such things as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies, and industry dynamics.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

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

Residential Mortgage Loans

Residential mortgage loans are reviewed periodically for collectability in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing underlying conditions. We also record loans that are sold after the period end as being held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost.

As such, the assets associated with this property, with a carrying value of $9.6 million, are separately classified and included in property available-for-sale on our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2014. However, the anticipated sale of this property did not qualify for discontinued operations and, therefore, the operations for all periods presented continue to be classified within continuing operations on our consolidated statements of income. We expect the sale to close in the next 12 months. The gain from the sale of this property will be recorded in gain on sale of real estate on our consolidated statements of income. Pre-tax earnings recorded on this property for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were losses of $16,000 and $77,000, respectively. Our hotel property, which was classified as available-for-sale at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, sold during the second quarter of 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we made no acquisitions and sold one of our multi-family properties for a gain of $16.6 million, which was recorded in gain on sale of real estate on the consolidated statements of income. We also confirmed the intent and ability to sell one of our other investments in real estate. This asset has been reclassified to property available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013.

Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2014, we had restricted cash of $116.0 million, which consisted of $113.4 million of restricted cash held by our eight securitizations, $500,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio, $890,000 held in restricted accounts at our investment properties and $1.2 million held primarily in a pledged account at our subsidiary, PCA. At December 31, 2013, we had restricted cash of $63.3 million, which consisted of $61.4 million of restricted cash on our eight securitizations, $771,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio, $847,000 held in restricted accounts at our investment properties and $318,000 held primarily in a pledged account at our subsidiary, PCA. The increase of $52.7 million is primarily related to new loan settlements in our CDOs, which were a result of the use of restricted cash available for reinvestment prior to the expiration of the reinvestment period.

Interest Receivable

At March 31, 2014, we had interest receivable of $10.5 million, which consisted of $10.5 million of interest on our securities and loans and $6,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. At December 31, 2013, we had interest receivable of $9.0 million, which consisted of $9.0 million of interest on our securities and loans and $6,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. The increase resulted from an increase in interest receivable on mezzanine loans of $940,000 and a increase in interest receivable on structured notes of $747,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest receivables on CMBS of $44,000, and a decrease of $183,000 in interest receivable on bank loans.

Hedging Instruments

Our hedges at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements whereby we swapped the floating rate of interest on the liabilities we hedged for a fixed rate of interest. With interest rates at historically low levels and the forward curve projecting steadily increasing rates as well as the scheduled maturity of two hedges and continued amortization of our swaps during 2014, we expect that the fair value of our hedges will modestly improve in 2014. We intend to continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future. Our hedges at March 31, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

6.0% Convertible Senior Notes

On October 21, 2013, we issued and sold in a public offering $115.0 million aggregate in principal amount of our 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018. After deducting the underwriting discount and the estimated offering costs, we received approximately $111.1 million of net proceeds. The discount of $4.9 million on the 6.0% Convertible Senior notes reflects the difference between the stated value of the debt and the fair value of the notes as if they were issued without a conversion feature and at a higher rate of interest that we estimated would have been applicable without the conversion feature. The discount will be amortized on a straight-line basis as additional interest expense through maturity on December 1, 2018. Interest on the 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes is paid semi-annually. Prior to December 1, 2018, the 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes are not redeemable at our option, except to preserve our status as a REIT. On or after December 1, 2018, we may redeem all or a portion of the 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Upon conversion of 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes by a holder, the holder will receive cash, our common shares or a combination of cash and our common shares, at our election.

Trust Preferred Securities

In May 2006 and September 2006, we formed RCT I and RCT II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests. Although we own $774,000 of the common securities of RCT I and RCT II, RCT I and RCT II are not consolidated into our consolidated financial statements because the we do not deem it to be the primary beneficiary of these entities. In connection with the issuance and sale of the capital securities, we issued junior subordinated debentures to RCT I and RCT II of $25.8 million each, representing our maximum exposure to loss. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II are included in borrowings and are being amortized into interest expense in the consolidated statements of income using the effective yield method over a ten year period.

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 September 30, 2036 and October 30, 2036, respectively, and may be called at par by us at any time after September 30, 2011 and October 30, 2011, respectively. We record our investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common securities of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts and records dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2014 was $780.2 million and gave effect to $10.7 million of unrealized losses on our cash flow hedges and $3.4 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2013 was $773.9 million and gave the effect to $11.2 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges and $3.1 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The increase in stockholder’s equity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was principally due to the proceeds from the issuance by our at-the market offering of Series A and Series B 8.25% Preferred Stock as well as the issuance of our 6% Convertible Senior Notes.

Funds from Operations

We evaluate our performance based on several performance measures, including funds from operations, or FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, in addition to net income. Historically, we have calculated distributions to our shareholders based on our estimate of REIT taxable income. Because of our investments in CRE and the resulting significant tax depreciation charges, we now compute and present FFO, and use AFFO, as our primary operating measures to determine distributions to shareholders, in addition to net income and REIT taxable income. We expect that our FFO will be greater than our net income under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, primarily because real estate related depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges are not deducted in the calculation of these measures. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated/uncombined partnerships and joint ventures.

AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s cash flow generated by operations. We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO the non-cash impacts of the following: non-cash impairment losses resulting from fair value adjustments on financial instruments, provision for loan losses, equity investment gains and losses, straight-line rental effects, share based compensation, amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets, gains on sales of property that are wholly owned or through a joint venture in addition to the cash impact of capital expenditures that are related to our real estate owned. In addition, we calculate AFFO by adding and subtracting from FFO the cash impacts of the following: extinguishment of debt and sales of property.

Management believes that FFO and AFFO are appropriate measures of our operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs. Management uses FFO and AFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation, share-based compensation and various other items required by GAAP, and capital expenditures, that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods.

While our calculations of AFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by other REITs and our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our performance with some other REITs. Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity were proceeds from the sale of our 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock and 8.50% Series A Preferred Stock through our ATM program, funds available in existing CDO financings of $72.9 million and cash flow from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received $15.7 million of preferred stock sales proceeds which are included in our $166.7 million of unrestricted cash at March 31, 2014. In addition, we had capital available through a CMBS term facility to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities of $57.0 million and two CRE term facilities for the origination of commercial real estate loans of $153.4 million and $196.3 million. As of December 31, 2013, our principal sources of current liquidity were proceeds from the sale of common stock through our DRIP, and proceeds from sales of our 8.5% Series A Preferred Stock and 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock through our ATM program, funds available in existing CDO financings of $78.5 million and cash flow from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we received $73.0 million of DRIP proceeds and $43.1 million of preferred stock sales proceeds, the remainder of which are included in our $85.3 million of unrestricted cash at December 31, 2013. In addition, we had capital available through two CRE term facilities to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities and the origination of commercial real estate loans of $45.3 million and $90.9 million, respectively.

In October 2013, we closed and issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018. We received net proceeds of approximately $111.1 million after payment of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, all of which is included in our $166.7 million of unrestricted cash.

Our on-going liquidity needs consist principally of funds to make investments, make debt repurchases, make distributions to our stockholders and pay our operating expenses, including our management fees. Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and, with respect to our investments, our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to above. Historically, we have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through CDOs that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments. We derive substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CDOs which, if the CDOs fail to meet certain tests, will cease. Through March 31, 2014, we have not experienced difficulty in maintaining our existing CDO financing and have passed all of the critical tests required by these financings. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet all such critical tests in the future. If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of existing financing on substantially similar terms, we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments. If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such assets, which would result in losses and reduced income.

The following table sets forth the distributions made and coverage test summaries for each of our securitizations for the periods presented (in thousands):

* The above table does not include new CLO investments made in the quarter ended March 31, 2014, as cash distributions were received subsequent to period end. In addition, the above table does not include Apidos CLO VIII or Whitney CLO I, as these CLOs were previously called and were substantially liquidated as of March 31, 2014.


(1)	Distributions on retained equity interests in CDOs (comprised of note investments and preference share ownership) and principal paydowns on notes owned; RREF CDO 2006-1 includes $231,000 and $28.1 million of paydowns during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.


(2)	Interest coverage includes annualized amounts based on the most recent trustee statements.


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

(8)	RREF CDO 2006-1's reinvestment period expired in September 2011.


(9)	RREF CDO 2007-1's reinvestment period expired in June 2012.


(10)	RCC CRE Notes 2013 closed on December 31, 2013; the first distribution was in January 2014. There is no reinvestment period for the securitization. Additionally, the indenture contains no coverage tests.

At April 30, 2014, after paying our first quarter 2014 common and preferred stock dividends, our liquidity is derived from three primary sources:


•	unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $156.1 million, restricted cash of $500,000 in margin call accounts and $2.1 million in the form of real estate escrows, reserves and deposits;


•	capital available for reinvestment in our nine securitizations of $40.3 million, of which $4.9 million is designated to finance future funding commitments on CRE loans; and


•	loan principal repayments that will pay down outstanding CLO notes by $9.3 million and interest collections of $4.7 million in interest.

In addition, we have funds available through three term financing facilities to finance the origination of CRE loans of $130.6 million and $194.3 million, respectively, and to finance the purchase of CMBS of $61.1 million.

Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our leverage ratio was 1.7 times and 1.7 times, respectively. While we had repayments of CDO notes and received equity offering proceeds through our ATM program, which would reduce our leverage ratios, these were offset by borrowings under our Wells Fargo CRE, Deutsche Bank CRE repurchase facilities and Deutsche Bank CMBS short-term repurchase agreements.

Distributions

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid corporate-level income tax on the income we distribute to our stockholders, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of our net taxable income to holders of our common stock. This requirement can impact our liquidity and capital resources.

(1)

Contractual commitments do not include $865,000, $3.5 million, $1.4 million, $5.5 million, and $8.3 million of interest expense payable through the stated maturity dates of July 2014, May 2015, May 2015, August 2016, and June 2017, respectively, on Apidos CDO I, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO III, RREF 2006-1, and RREF 2007-1. The maturity date represents the time at which the CDO assets can be sold, resulting in repayment of the CDO notes.


(2)	Contractual commitments include $119,000 of interest expense payable through the maturity date of January 20, 2014 on our repurchase agreements.


(3)	Contractual commitments do not include $45.3 million and $46.2 million of estimated interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036, respectively, on our trust preferred securities.


(4)	Contractual commitments do not include $32.7 million of interest expense payable through the maturity date of December 1, 2018 on our 6.0% convertible senior notes.


(5)	The joint venture agreement requires us to contribute 3% to 5% (depending on the terms of the agreement pursuant to which the particular asset is being acquired) of the total funding required for each asset acquisition as needed, up to a specified amount. We expect that all remaining assets will be sold within two years.


(6)	Unfunded commitments on CRE loans generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional loan interest income on the advanced amount.

(7)

The financing or credit agreements on our originated middle market loans, in some cases, allow for subsequent advances. All advances require compliance with the contractual criteria and terms as specifically described in the individual financing or credit agreement, and therefore are subject to the approval of the appropriate portfolio manager. Loans earn income, typically in the form of interest and fees, as specifically outlined in the documentation of each loan.


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

At March 31, 2014, we had 10 interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $126.1 million. These contracts are fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements under which we contracted to pay a fixed rate of interest for the term of the hedge and will receive a floating rate of interest. As of March 31, 2014, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 5.11% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 0.15%.

(Back to Index)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

General

As of March 31, 2014, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes, although we do have interests in unconsolidated entities not established for those purposes. Except as set forth below, as of March 31, 2014, we had not guaranteed obligations of any such unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Unfunded Loan Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to borrowers whose loans are in our commercial real estate loan portfolio to provide additional loan funding in the future. These commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments is subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria. Upon disbursement of funds, we receive loan interest income on any such advanced funds. As of March 31, 2014, we had 19 loans with unfunded commitments totaling $23.1 million, of which $4.8 million will be funded by restricted cash in RCC CRE Notes 2013 and $250,000 will be funded by restricted cash in RREF CDO 2007-1; we intend to fund the remaining $18.0 million through cash flow from normal operating activities and principal repayments on other loans in our portfolio. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting requirements and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.


ITEM 3 .	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2014, 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.

Effect on Fair Value

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

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

The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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, 2014
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement ⁽¹⁾:
Fair value	$	261,795		$	269,762		$	278,248
Change in fair value	$	(7,967	)				$	8,486
Change as a percent of fair value	2.95		%				3.15		%

Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(14,793	)	$	(10,199	)	$	(9,700	)
Change in fair value	$	(4,594	)				$	499
Change as a percent of fair value	45.04		%				4.89		%

(Back to Index)



	December 31, 2013
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
CMBS – private placement ⁽¹⁾:
Fair value	$	247,630		$	255,670		$	264,267
Change in fair value	(8,040		)	—			8,597
Change as a percent of fair value	3.14		%	—		%	3.36		%

Hedging instruments:
Fair value	$	(12,545	)	$	(10,586	)	$	(7,435	)
Change in fair value	(1,959		)	—			3,151
Change as a percent of fair value	18.51		%	—		%	29.77		%

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

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

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

Risk Management

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


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


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


•	using derivatives, financial futures, swaps, options, caps, floors and forward sales, to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of our fixed-rate commercial real estate mortgages and CMBS and our borrowing which we discuss in “Financial Condition-Hedging Instruments.”

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control of Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
