NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2007

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF QUARTERLY PRESENTATION

Resource Capital Corp. and subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) was incorporated in Maryland on January 31, 2005 and commenced its operations on March 8, 2005 upon receipt of the net proceeds from a private placement of shares of its common stock. The Company’s principal business activity is to purchase and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate-related assets and commercial finance assets. The Company’s investment activities are managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc. (‘‘Manager’’) pursuant to a management agreement (‘‘Management Agreement’’). The Manager is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“RAI”) (Nasdaq: REXI).

The Company has three direct wholly-owned subsidiaries: RCC Real Estate, Inc. (“RCC Real Estate”), RCC Commercial, Inc. (“RCC Commercial”) and Resource TRS, Inc. (“Resource TRS”). RCC Real Estate holds real estate investments, including commercial real estate loans. RCC Commercial holds bank loan investments and real estate investments, including commercial and residential real estate-related securities. Resource TRS holds all the Company’s equipment leases and notes. RCC Real Estate owns 100% of the equity interest in Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 (“RREF 2006-1”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”). RREF 2006-1 was established to complete a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) issuance secured by a portfolio of commercial real estate loans. RCC Commercial owns 100% of the equity interest in Apidos CDO I, Ltd. (“Apidos CDO I”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Apidos CDO I was established to complete a CDO secured by a portfolio of bank loans. RCC Commercial owns 100% of the equity interest in Apidos CDO III, Ltd. (“Apidos CDO III”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and TRS. Apidos CDO III was established to complete a CDO secured by a portfolio of bank loans. RCC Commercial owns 100% of the equity interest in Ischus CDO II, Ltd. (“Ischus CDO II”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and QRS. Ischus CDO II was established to complete a CDO issuance secured by a portfolio of mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had also formed Apidos Cinco CDO, Ltd. (“Apidos Cinco CDO”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company that the Company has elected to treat as a TRS. RCC Commercial purchased 10,000 preference shares in the amount of $5.0 million, constituting 100% of the equity in the CDO, during the warehouse period and intends to purchase 100% of the equity interest in Apidos Cinco CDO upon termination of the warehouse agreement. Apidos Cinco CDO was established to complete the Company’s third CDO that will be secured by a portfolio of bank loans.

The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2007 presentation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Income Taxes

For financial reporting purposes, current and deferred taxes are provided for on the portion of earnings recognized by the Company with respect to its interest in Resource TRS, a domestic taxable real estate investment trust (“REIT”) subsidiary, because it is taxed as a regular subchapter C corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Resource TRS recognized a $145,000 and $67,000, respectively, provision for income taxes.

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

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

At March 31, 2007, all of the Company’s loans were current with respect to the scheduled payments of principal and interest. In reviewing the portfolio of loans and the observable secondary market prices, the Company did not identify any loans that exhibit characteristics indicating that permanent impairment has occurred. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2007, the Company had not recorded an allowance for loan losses.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment,” as of January 1, 2006. Issuances of restricted stock and options are accounted for using the fair value based methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123(R) whereby the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and expensed monthly in stockholders’ equity through an increase to additional paid-in capital and an offsetting entry to equity compensation expense - related party on the consolidated statements of income. For issuances to the Company’s Manager and to non-employees, the unvested stock and options are adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in fair value as performance under the agreement is completed. For issuance to the Company’s four non-employee directors, the amount is not remeasured under the fair value-based method. The compensation for each of these issuances is amortized over the service period and included in equity compensation expense (see Note 9).

Variable Interest Entities

During July 2005, the Company entered into warehouse and master participation agreements with an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) providing that Citigroup will fund the purchase of loans by Apidos CDO III. On May 9, 2006, the Company terminated its Apidos CDO III warehouse agreement with Citigroup upon the closing of the CDO. The warehouse funding liability was replaced with the issuance of long-term debt by Apidos CDO III. The Company owns 100% of the equity issued by Apidos CDO III and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company consolidated Apidos CDO III at December 31, 2006.

Variable Interest Entities − (Continued)

During January 2007, the Company entered into warehouse agreement with an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, (“CS”) providing that CS will fund the purchase of bank loans by Apidos Cinco CDO. On January 8, 2007, the Company purchased 10,000 preference shares for $5.0 million from Apidos Cinco CDO and guaranteed up to the first $10.0 million in losses. The Company intends to purchase 100% of the equity issued by Apidos Cinco CDO upon termination of the warehouse agreement. As a result, the Company consolidated Apidos Cinco CDO at March 31, 2007.

Accounting for Certain Mortgage-Backed Securities and Related Repurchase Agreements

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

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

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements − (Continued)

In September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance for how errors should be evaluated to assess materiality from a quantitative perspective. SAB 108 permits companies to initially apply its provisions by either restating prior financial statements or recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the approach as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. SAB 108 is required to be adopted for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

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

NOTE 3 - RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash consists of $38.3 million of principal and interest payments collected on investments held in four CDO trusts, a $2.4 million credit facility reserve used to fund future investments that will be acquired by the Company’s two closed bank loan CDO trusts, a $100,000 expense reserve used to cover CDO operating expenses and $5.0 million of cash held in escrow in conjunction with Apidos CDO Cinco. The remaining $2.5 million interest reserve and security deposits held in connection with the Company’s equipment lease and loan portfolio.

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

The temporary impairment of the securities available-for-sale results from the fair value of the securities falling below their amortized cost basis and is primarily attributed to changes in interest rates. The Company intends and has the ability to hold the securities until the fair value of the securities held is recovered, which may be maturity. As such, the Company does not believe any of the securities held are other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Trust Preferred Securities

In May 2006 and September 2006, the Company formed Resource Capital Trust I (“RCTI”) and RCC Trust II (“RCTII”), respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), although the Company owns 100% of the common shares of RCTI and RCTII, RCTI and RCTII are not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities. Each respective trust issued $25.0 million of preferred shares to unaffiliated investors.

In connection with the issuance and sale of the trust preferred securities, the Company issued junior subordinated debentures to RCTI and RCTII of $25.8 million each, representing the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCTI and RCTII at March 31, 2007 were $802,000 and $808,000, respectively. These costs, which are included in other assets, are being amortized into interest expense using the effective yield method over a ten year period.

In connection with the July 2006 hiring of a commercial mortgage direct loan origination team by Resource Real Estate, Inc. (“Resource Real Estate”), a subsidiary of RAI, (see Related Party Transactions - Note 11), the Company agreed to issue up to 100,000 shares of common stock and options to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of common stock, if certain loan origination performance thresholds are achieved by this origination team for the Company’s account. The performance thresholds are two-tiered.  Upon the achievement of $400.0 million of direct loan originations of commercial real estate loans, 60,000 restricted shares of common stock and options to purchase an additional 60,000 shares of common stock are issuable.  Upon the achievement of another $300.0 million of direct loan originations of commercial real estate loans, a second tranche of 40,000 restricted shares of common stock and options to purchase another 40,000shares of common stock are issuable.The restricted shares and options to purchase shares of common stock vest over a two-year period after issuance.

Accordingly, when the origination team, none of whom is an employee of the Company, completes its performance or when a performance commitment is reached, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the equity instruments. No expense was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as neither a performance commitment nor completion of performance was achieved.

The Company has no formal equity award plan. All awards are discretionary in nature and subject to approval by the compensation committee.

NOTE 12 - DISTRIBUTIONS

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

NOTE 12 - DISTRIBUTIONS − (Continued)

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

On January 13, 2006, the Company paid a special dividend to stockholders of record on January 4, 2006, including holders of restricted stock, consisting of warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. Stockholders received one warrant for each ten shares of common stock and restricted stock held. If an existing stockholder owned shares in other than a ten-share increment, the stockholder received an additional warrant. The warrants will expire on January 13, 2009 and were not exercisable until January 13, 2007. An aggregate of 1,568,244 shares were issuable upon exercise of the warrants, of which 324,878 shares have been issued as of March 31, 2007.  Upon exercise of warrants, new shares are issued.

NOTE 13 - INTEREST RATE RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

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

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

At March 31, 2007, the Company had 19 interest rate swap contracts and four forward interest rate swap contracts. The Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.28% and received a variable rate equal to one-month and three-month LIBOR on the interest rate swap contracts. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $226.8 million. The Company will pay an average fixed rate of 5.04% and receive a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR on the forward interest rate swap contracts, of which $7.0 million commenced in April 2007 and $34.4 million commenced in May 2007. In addition, the Company had one interest rate cap agreement outstanding whereby it reduced its exposure to variability in future cash outflows attributable to changes in LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of this contract was $15.0 million at March 31, 2007.

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

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

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps, forward swaps and interest rate cap was $(3.7) million and $(3.1) million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $3.8 million and $3.2 million on the interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreement, as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Overview

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

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

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

As of March 31, 2007, we had invested 76.2% of our portfolio in commercial real estate-related assets, 7.4% in ABS-RMBS and 16.4% in commercial finance assets. As of December 31, 2006, we had invested 77.2% of our portfolio in commercial real estate-related assets, 7.4% in ABS-RMBS and 15.4% in commercial finance assets. If we are unable to maintain the credit quality of our portfolio, however, our earnings may decrease. Because the amount of leverage we intend to use will vary by asset class, our asset allocation may not reflect the relative amounts of equity capital we have invested in the respective classes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Securities Available-for-Sale

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

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

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

Derivative Instruments

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

Interest Income Recognition

We accrue income on our mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities using the effective yield method based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal amount of the underlying mortgages or other assets.  We amortize or accrete premiums and discounts into interest income over the lives of the securities also using the effective yield method (or a method that approximates effective yield), adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments based on SFAS No. 91, ‘‘Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.’’ For an investment purchased at par, the effective yield is the contractual interest rate on the investment. If we purchase the investment at a discount or at a premium, we compute the effective yield based on the contractual interest rate increased for the accretion of a purchase discount or decreased for the amortization of a purchase premium. The effective yield method requires us to make estimates of future prepayment rates for our investments that can be contractually prepaid before their contractual maturity date

29

so that the purchase discount can be accreted, or the purchase premium can be amortized, over the estimated remaining life of the investment. The prepayment estimates that we use directly impact the estimated remaining lives of our investments. We review actual prepayment estimates as of each quarter end or more frequently if we become aware of any material information that would lead us to believe that anadjustment 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.

Loan Interest Income Recognition

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

Results of Operations − Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 as compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $9.4 million, or $0.39 per weighted average common share-basic ($0.38 per weighted average common share-diluted) as compared to $5.2 million, or $0.31 per weighted average common share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Interest Income

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

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2007						Three Months Ended March 31, 2006

30

Interest income increased $10.6 million (36%) to $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. We attribute this increase to the following:

Interest Income from Loans

Interest income from loans increased $19.3 million (175%) to $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Bank loans generated $15.6 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $8.1 million (108%). This increase resulted primarily from the following:

· The acquisition of $111.6 million of bank loans (net of sales of $34.5 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2006, which were held for the entire three months ended March 31, 2007.

· The acquisition of an additional $254.5 million of bank loans (net of sales of $94.0 million) since March 31, 2006.

· The increase of the weighted average interest rate on these loans to 7.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 6.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to an increase in the LIBOR rate.

These acquisitions and the increase in weighted average rate were partially offset by the receipt of principal payments on bank loans totaling $182.7 million since March 31, 2006.

Commercial real estate loans produced $14.7 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $11.2 million (319%). This increase resulted from the following:

· The acquisition of $40.8 million of commercial real estate loans during the three months ended March 31, 2006, which were held for the entire three months ended March 31, 2007.

· The acquisition of $344.0 million of commercial real estate loans (net of principal payments and sales of $124.6 million) since March 31, 2006.

· The $495,000 acceleration of loan origination fees as a result of loan sales that we booked as part of interest income.

· The increase of the weighted average interest rate on these loans to 8.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 8.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to an increase in LIBOR rate at March 31, 2007 as compared to March 31, 2006. This increase was partially offset by lower weighted average spreads, the result of a change in our asset mix.

These acquisitions and the increase in weighted average rate were partially offset by the receipt of principal payments on commercial real estate loans totaling $83.4 million since March 31, 2006.

Interest Income - Other

Interest income-other increased $300,000 (15%) to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Our equipment leasing portfolio generated $1.9 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $506,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.4 million (275%). This increase resulted from the following:

· The acquisition of $32.4 million of equipment leases and notes (net of principal payments and sales of $9.8 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2006, which were held for the entire three months ended March 31, 2007.

31

· The acquisition of an additional $19.4 million of equipment leases and notes (net of principal payments and sales of $45.1 million) since March 31, 2006.

Interest rate swap agreements generated $1.2 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006. No such income was generated from the interest rate swap agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This was a result of decreases in the floating rate index we receive under our swap agreements. During the current year, the fixed rate we paid exceeded the floating rate we received under these same agreements. The resulting interest expense of $22,000 is included in general interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest Income from Securities Available-for-Sale

The increase in interest income was offset by a decrease in interest income from securities available-for-sale. Interest income from securities available-for-sale decreased $9.0 million (55%) to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Interest income from our agency ABS-RMBS portfolio generated $10.2 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006. No interest income from this portfolio was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the sale of $125.4 million of such securities in January 2006, and the sale of the remaining $753.1 million of these securities in September 2006.

This decrease was offset by the contribution from ABS-RMBS of $6.3 million of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $888,000 (16%). This increase resulted primarily from the increase of the weighted average interest rate on these securities to 7.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 6.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

CMBS-private placement contributed $354,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to the accumulation of securities in this portfolio beginning in December 2006. We held no such securities for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Interest Expense

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

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2007						Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
			Weighted Average						Weighted Average
	Interest Expense		Yield		Balance		Interest Expense		Yield		Balance

Total interest expense	$	26,789					$	21,202

Interest expense increased $5.6 million (26%) to $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. We attribute this increase to the following:

32

Interest expense on commercial real estate loans was $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $4.7 million (259%). This increase resulted primarily from the following:

· We closed our first commercial real estate loan CDO, Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 in August 2006. Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 issued $308.7 million of senior notes at par consisting of several classes with rates ranging from one-month LIBOR plus 0.32% to one-month LIBOR plus 3.75%. Prior to August 10, 2006, we financed these commercial real estate loans primarily with repurchase agreements and continue to do so for the commercial real estate loans that are not long-term match-funded. The weighted average interest rate on the repurchase agreements was 5.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and was 6.40% on the senior notes and repurchase agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

· We continued to finance the growth of our commercial real estate loan portfolio after the closing of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 through repurchase agreements. We had weighted average balances of $405.5 million of repurchase agreements and $124.3 million of repurchase agreements outstanding at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

· We amortized $233,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to the Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 closing for the three months ended March 31, 2007. No such costs were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Interest expense on bank loans was $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $6.3 million (120%). This increase resulted primarily from the following:

· As a result of the continued acquisitions of bank loans after the closing of Apidos CDO I, we financed our second bank loan CDO (Apidos CDO III) in May 2006. Apidos CDO III issued $262.5 million of senior notes into several classes with rates ranging from three-month LIBOR plus 0.26% to three-month LIBOR plus 4.25%. We used the Apidos CDO III proceeds to repay borrowings under a warehouse facility which had a balance at the time of repayment of $222.6 million. The weighted average interest rate on the senior notes was 5.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 4.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 on the warehouse facility which began accumulating asset in July 2005.

· In August 2005, Apidos CDO I issued $321.5 million of senior notes consisting of several classes with rates ranging from three-month LIBOR plus 0.26% to a fixed rate of 9.25%. The weighted average interest rate on the senior notes was 5.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 4.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

· The weighted average balance of debt related to bank loans increased by $360.9 million to $783.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $422.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

· We amortized $232,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to the CDO financings for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS, which we refer to collectively as ABS, were pooled and financed by Ischus CDO II. Interest expense related to these obligations was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $752,000 (16%). This increase resulted primarily from the an increase in weighted average interest rate on the senior notes issued by Ischus CDO II which was 5.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 5.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Interest expense on CMBS-private placement was $337,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to the accumulation of securities in this portfolio beginning in December 2006. There were no such assets for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Interest expense - other increased $300,000 (15%) to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

33

Interest expense on leasing activities was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.4 million resulting from increases in the amount of direct financing leases and notes we acquired and the related financing after March 31, 2006 and through March 31, 2007. The assets were acquired with cash until the facility closed on March 31, 2006 when we entered into a secured term facility.

General interest expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 an increase $1.2 million (909%).  This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $1.2 million in expense on our unsecured junior subordinated debentures held by unconsolidated trusts that issued trust preferred securities which were not issued until May 2006 and September 2006, respectively.

These increases in interest expense were offset by a $9.1 million decrease in interest expense related to the agency ABS-RMBS portfolio as a result of the sale and pay down of debt on our agency ABS-RMBS portfolio in January and September 2006, respectively.

Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Investments

Net realized gains on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $70,000 consisted of $23,000 of net realized gains on the sale of bank loans and $45,000 of gains related to the early termination of equipment leases. Net realized losses on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $699,000 primarily consisted of a $1.3 million loss on the sale of a part of our Agency ABS-RMBS portfolio and $54,000 of losses on the sale of ABS-RMBS. These losses were offset by $143,000 of net realized gains on the sale of bank loans and $570,000 of gains related to the early termination of equipment leases.

Non-Investment Expenses

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007		2006
Management fee - related party	$	2,032	$	993
Equity compensation − related party		486		582
Professional services		692		316
Insurance		121		120
General and administrative		557		371
Total	$	3,888	$	2,382

Management fee-related party increased $1.0 million (100%) to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. These amounts represent compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement. The base management fees increased by $420,000 (48%) to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $880,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was due to increased equity as a result of our public offerings in February and December 2006 and the January 2007 exercise of the over-allotment option that was part of the December 2006 follow-on offering. Incentive management fees increased by $640,000 (566%) to $753,000 from $113,000, as a result of an increase of $4.9 million in our adjusted GAAP income, as defined in the management agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to March 31, 2006. This was partially offset by an increase during the quarter in two measures used in the formula calculating the incentive management fee:  weighted average common shares and weighted average offering price per share.

34

Equity compensation-related party decreased $96,000 (16%) to $486,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $582,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. These expenses relate to the amortization of the March 8, 2005 grant of restricted common stock to the Manager, the March 8, 2005, 2006 and 2007 grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, the March 8, 2005 grant of options to the Manager to purchase common stock and the January 5, 2007 grant of restricted stock to several employees of Resource America, Inc., or RAI, who provide investment management services to us. The decreases in expense were primarily the result of the vesting of two thirds of the stock and options related to the March 8, 2005 grants of restricted stock and options to the manager on March 8, 2006 and March 8, 2007. This was offset by an adjustment related to our quarterly remeasurement of unvested stock and options to the Manager to reflect changes in the fair value of our common stock as well as additional expense related to the January 5, 2007 grant.

Professional services increased $377,000 (119%) to $693,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $316,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to a $187,000 increase in audit fees due to the timing of when the services were performed and billed as well as an increase of $154,000 in LEAF servicing expense due to the increase in managed assets in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

General and administrative expenses increased $186,000 (50%) to $557,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $371,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. These expenses include expense reimbursements to our Manager, rating agency expenses and all other operating costs incurred. These increases were primarily the result of an increase of $145,000 in income tax expense related to Resource TRS, our taxable REIT subsidiary. Resource TRS had no taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Income Taxes

We do not pay federal income tax on income we distribute to our stockholders, subject to our compliance with REIT qualification requirements. However, Resource TRS, our domestic TRS, is taxed as a regular subchapter C corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, Resource TRS recognized a $145,000 provision for income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we did not conduct any of our operations through Resource TRS.

Apidos CDO III, one of our foreign TRSs, was formed to complete securitization transactions structured as secured financings. Apidos CDO III is organized as an exempt company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is generally exempt from federal and state income tax at the corporate level because its activities in the United States is limited to trading in stock and securities for its own account. Therefore, despite its status as a TRS, it generally will not be subject to corporate tax on its earnings and no provision for income taxes is required; however, we generally will be required to include Apidos CDO III’s current taxable income in our calculation of REIT taxable income.

Financial Condition

Summary

Our total assets at March 31, 2007 were $2.1 billion, as compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase in total assets was principally due to a $257.4 million increase (net of sales and principal payments of $94.4 million) in bank loans due to the accumulation of assets for our third CLO, Apidos Cinco CDO, and a $78.6 million increase in our commercial real estate loan portfolio resulting from the purchase of 11 additional loans, all of which are for our second commercial real estate CDO, and one additional funding on an existing loan position. Our financial condition at March 31, 2007 was strengthened by the completion of our initial public offering in February 2006, follow-on offering in December 2006 and the over-allotment exercise in January 2007, which resulted in net proceeds of $27.3 million, $93.0 million and $10.0 million (totaling $130.4 million), respectively,after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. We also completed two trust preferred securities issuances, one in May 2006 and the other in September 2006, that generated net proceeds totaling $48.4 million after issuance costs. As of March 31, 2007, we held $14.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.

At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we held $304.3 million and $342.8 million, respectively, of ABS-RMBS, at fair value, which is based on market prices provided by dealers, net of unrealized gains of $176,000 and $913,000, respectively, and unrealized losses of $41.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively. In the aggregate, we purchased our ABS-RMBS portfolio at a discount as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The remaining discounts (net of premium) to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $2.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our ABS-RMBS were valued below par, in the aggregate, because of wide credit spreads during the respective periods. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair market value.

The table below summarizes our ABS-RMBS portfolio as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (in thousands, except percentages). Dollar price is computed by dividing amortized cost by par amount.

Bank Loans

At March 31, 2007, we held a total of $872.7 million of bank loans at fair value, of which $619.1 million are held by and secure the debt issued by Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III and $253.6 million were financed and held on our Apidos Cinco CDO warehouse facility. This is an increase of $258.9 million over our holdings at December 31, 2006. The increase in total bank loans was principally due to the accumulation of bank loans for Apidos Cinco CDO. We own 100% of the equity issued by Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III which we have determined are variable interest entities, or VIEs and are, therefore, deemed to be their primary beneficiaries. See “-Variable Interest Entities.” On January 8, 2007, we purchased 10,000 preference shares in Apidos Cinco CDO and intend to purchase 100% of the equity issued by Apidos Cinco CDO upon termination of the warehouse agreement. As a result, we consolidated Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO as of March 31, 2007.

Variable Interest Entities

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FIN 46-R which addresses the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to a variable interest entity, or VIE, and requires that the assets, liabilities and results of operations of a VIE be consolidated into the financial statements of the enterprise that has a controlling financial interest in it. The interpretation provides a framework for determining whether an entity should be evaluated for consolidation based on voting interests or significant financial support provided to the entity which we refer to as variable interests. We consider all counterparties to a transaction to determine whether a counterparty is a VIE and, if so, whether our involvement with the entity results in a variable interest in the entity. We perform analyses to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2007, we determined that Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Ischus CDO II, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III and Apidos Cinco CDO were VIEs and that we were the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. We own 100% of the equity interests of Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Ischus CDO II, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III. On January 8, 2007, we purchased 10,000 preference shares of Apidos Cinco CDO and guaranteed up to the first $10.0 million in losses on the warehouse facility used to accumulate investments for Apidos Cinco CDO. We intend to purchase 100% of the equity issued by Apidos Cinco CDO upon termination of the warehouse agreement. As a result of the application of FIN 46-R, we consolidated $1.5 billion of assets for these entities onto our balance sheet; however, only our equity investments in these VIEs, amounting to $160.4 million as of March 31, 2007, is available to our creditors.

Interest Receivable

At March 31, 2007, we had accrued interest receivable of $12.5 million, which consisted of $12.2 million of interest on our securities, loans and equipment leases and notes, $117,000 of purchased interest that had been accrued on securities and loans purchased and $173,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. At December 31, 2006, we had accrued interest receivable of $8.8 million, which consisted of $8.7 million of interest on our securities, loans and equipment leases and notes, $8,000 of purchased interest that had been accrued on commercial real estate loans purchased and $73,000 of interest earned on brokerage and sweep accounts.

Principal Paydown Receivables

At March 31, 2007, we had principal paydown receivables of $1.5 million, which consisted of $1.0 million principal payments on our bank loans and $492,000 of principal payments on our commercial real estate loans. At December 31, 2006, we had principal paydown receivables of $503,000, which consisted of principal payments on our bank loans.

Other Assets

Other assets at March 31, 2007 of $3.3 million consisted primarily of $2.8 million of loan origination costs associated with our revolving credit facility, commercial real estate loan portfolio and secured term facility, $430,000 of prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and $102,000 of prepaid expenses.

Other assets at December 31, 2006 of $3.1 million consisted primarily of $2.9 million of loan origination costs associated with our trust preferred securities issuance, revolving credit facility, commercial real estate loan portfolio and secured term facility and $92,000 of prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Hedging Instruments

Our hedges at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 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. We also had one interest rate cap. As of December 31, 2006, we had entered into hedges with a notional amount of $239.9 million and maturities ranging from November 2009 to February 2017. At December 31, 2006, the unrealized loss on our interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreement was $3.1 million. We intend to continue to seek such hedges for our floating rate debt in the future. Our hedges at March 31, 2007 were as follows (in thousands):

Borrowings

Repurchase Agreements

We have entered into repurchase agreements to finance our commercial real estate loans and CMBS-private placement portfolio. We discuss these repurchase agreements at “-Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below. These agreements are secured by the financed assets and bear interest rates that have historically moved in close relationship to LIBOR. At March 31, 2007, we had established ten borrowing arrangements with various financial institutions and had utilized five of these arrangements, principally our arrangement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, the initial purchaser and placement agent for our March 2005 offering and one of the underwriters in our two public offerings. None of the counterparties to these agreements are affiliates of the Manager or us.

      Our subsidiary, RCC Commercial, Inc., has received a waiver from CS as of and for the period ended March 31, 2007 with respect to our compliance with the net asset value decline. The waiver was required due to the unrealized loss on our ABS-RMBS portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

We seek to renew the repurchase agreements we use to finance asset acquisitions as they mature under the then-applicable borrowing terms of the counterparties to our repurchase agreements. Through March 31, 2007, we have encountered no difficulties in effecting renewals of our repurchase agreements.

Collaterized Debt Obligations

As of March 31, 2007, we had closed four CDO transactions. In August 2006, we closed Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, a $345.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for commercial real estate loans. The investments held by Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1 collateralized $308.7 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle, of which RCC Real Estate, Inc., or RCC Real Estate, purchased 100% of the class J senior notes (rated BB:Moody’s) and class K senior notes (rated B:Moody’s) for $43.1 million. At March 31, 2007, the notes had a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.14%. In May 2006, we closed Apidos CDO III, a $285.5 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans. The investments held by Apidos CDO III collateralized $262.5 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. At March 31, 2007, the notes had a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.81%. In August 2005, we closed Apidos CDO I, a $350.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for bank loans. The investments held by Apidos CDO I collateralize $321.5 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. At March 31, 2007, the notes had a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.83%. In July 2005, we closed Ischus CDO II, a $403.0 million CDO transaction that provided financing for MBS and other ABS. The investments held by Ischus CDO II collateralize $376.0 million of senior notes issued by the CDO vehicle. At March 31, 2007, the notes had a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.80%.

Trust Preferred Securities

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

In connection with the issuance and sale of the trust preferred securities, we issued $25.8 million principal amount of junior subordinated debentures to each of Resource Capital Trust I and RCC Trust II. The junior subordinated debentures debt issuance costs are deferred in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. We record interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures and amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of income. At March 31, 2007, the junior subordinated debentures had a weighted average borrowing rate of 9.31%.

43

Warehouse Facility

In January 2007, we formed Apidos Cinco CDO and began borrowing on a warehouse facility provided by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to purchase bank loans. At March 31, 2007, $254.0 million was outstanding under the facility. The facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.625% which was 5.95% at March 31, 2007.

Term Facility

In March 2006, we entered into a secured term credit facility with Bayerische Hypo - und Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch to finance the purchase of equipment leases and notes. The maximum amount of our borrowing under this facility is $100.0 million. At March 31, 2007, $84.5 million was outstanding under the facility. The facility bears interest at one of two rates, determined by asset class. The interest rate was 6.33% at March 31, 2007.

Credit Facility

In December 2005, we entered into a $15.0 million corporate credit facility with Commerce Bank, N.A. This facility was increased to $25.0 million in April 2006. The unsecured revolving credit facility permits us to borrow up to the lesser of the facility amount and the sum of 80% of the sum of our unsecured assets rated higher than Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by Standard and Poor’s plus our interest receivables plus 65% of our unsecured assets rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s and BBB- from Standard and Poor’s. Up to 20% of the borrowings under the facility may be in the form of standby letters of credit. At March 31, 2007, no balance was outstanding under this facility. The interest rate varies from, in the case of LIBOR loans, from the adjusted LIBOR rate (as defined in the agreement) plus between 1.50% to 2.50% depending upon our leverage ratio (the ratio of consolidated total liability to consolidated tangible net worth) or, in the case of base rate loans, from Commerce Bank’s base rate plus between 0.50% and 1.50% also depending upon our leverage ratio.

We received a waiver for the period ended March 31, 2007 from Commerce Bank, N.A. with respect to our non-compliance with the consolidated tangible net worth covenant. The waiver was required due to the unrealized loss on our ABS-RMBS portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Under the covenant, we are required to maintain a consolidated net worth (stockholder’s equity) of at least $195.0 million plus 90% of the net proceeds of any capital transactions, measured at each quarter end, as further described in the agreement.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2007 was $295.4 million and included $42.6 million of net unrealized losses on our ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS portfolio, $105,000 of unrealized losses on our CMBS-private placement portfolio and $3.8 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2006 was $317.6 million and included $6.0 million of net unrealized losses on our ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS portfolio and $3.2 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The decrease in stockholders’ equity during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was principally due to an increase of $36.6 million in the unrealized losses in the ABS-RMBS portfolio held by Ischus II CDO. The unrealized losses were due primarily to significant widening in interest rate spreads in the ABS-RMBS market, which produced illiquidity and increased levels of risk premium attached to these types of securities.  The Ischus II investment is the only residential mortgage exposure in our portfolio. Our investment and, as a consequence, our risk exposure in Ischus II CDO is limited to our original $27.0 million investment.  However, as a result of the application of FIN 46R, we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Ischus II CDO and must consolidate its assets and liabilities with ours. Consequently, the full $42.6 million of unrealized loss experienced by Ischus II CDO is reflected in our other comprehensive income, notwithstanding that our maximum risk exposure is $27.0 million. We intend and have the ability to hold the securities until the fair value of the securities held is recovered, which may be maturity. We do not believe that any of the securities held are other than temporarily impaired at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

44

The decrease in the ABS-RMBS portfolio was partially offset by the exercise of the over allotment of 650,000 shares of common stock related to the December 2006 follow-on offering at a price of $16.50 per share of common stock. The offering generated net proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.1 million. The decrease in stockholders equity was also offset by the exercise of 324,878 warrants at a price of $15.00 per share of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

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

Estimated REIT Taxable Income

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007		2006
Net income	$	9,439	$	5,150
Additions:
Share-based compensation to related parties		5		582
Incentive management fee expense to related parties paid in shares		186		31
Capital losses from the sale of securities available-for-sale		−		1,412
Other net book to tax adjustments		41		−
Estimated REIT taxable income	$	9,671	$	7,175

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Through March 31, 2007, our principal sources of funds were the net proceeds of $10.1 million from the exercise of the over-allotment option related to our December 2006 follow-on offering, repurchase agreements totaling $208.9 million and a bank loan warehouse facility totaling $254.0 million. We expect to continue to borrow funds in the form of repurchase agreements to finance our commercial real estate loan portfolio and CMBS-private placement, through warehouse agreements to finance bank loans, other ABS, trust preferred securities and private equity investments and through our secured term facility to finance our equipment leases and notes, in each case prior to the execution of CDOs and other term financing vehicles. The remaining capacity under our repurchase agreements with maximum borrowing capacities at March 31, 2007 was $264.9 million.

We anticipate that, upon repayment of each borrowing under a repurchase agreement, we will immediately use the collateral released by the repayment as collateral for borrowing under a new repurchase agreement. We also anticipate that our borrowings under any warehouse credit facility will be refinanced through the issuance of CDOs. Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our leverage ratio was 6.1 times and 4.6 times, respectively. This increase was primarily due to increasing borrowings using the proceeds received from our follow-on offering in December 2006 and the availability on our warehouse line facility for Apidos Cinco CDO.

     Our liquidity needs consist principally of funds to make investments, make distributions to our stockholders and pay our operating expenses, including our management fees. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and, with respect to our investments, our ability to obtain additional debt financing and equity capital. Through March 31, 2007, we have not experienced difficulty in obtaining debt financing. We may increase our capital resources through offerings of equity securities (possibly including common stock and one or more classes of preferred stock), CDOs, trust preferred securities issuances or other forms of term financing. Such financing will depend on market conditions. If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on substantially similar terms, we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments. If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such assets, which would result in losses and reduced income.

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

We held cash and cash equivalents of $14.5 million at March 31, 2007.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The table below summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2006. The table below excludes contractual commitments related to our derivatives, which we discuss in our Annual Report on From 10-K for fiscal 2005 in Item 7A − “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” and the management agreement that we have with our Manager, which we discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 in Item 1 − “Business” − and Item 13 − “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”because those contracts do not have fixed and determinable payments.

	Contractual commitments (dollars in thousands)

(1) Includes accrued interest of $436.

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

At March 31, 2007, we had 19 interest rate swap contracts and 4 forward interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $268.2 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, 2007, the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 5.28% and our receive rate was one-month and three-month LIBOR, or 5.32%. As of March 31, 2007, the average fixed pay rate of our forward interest rate hedges was 5.04% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR. One of our forward interest rate swap contracts became effective in April 2007 and three will became effective in May 2007.

At March 31, 2007, we also had one interest rate cap with a notional value of $15.0 million. This cap reduces our exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in LIBOR.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2007, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities or variable interest entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, as of March 31, 2007, we had not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Recent Developments

Our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, RCC Real Estate SPE 3, LLC, or SPE 3, entered into a $150,000,000 master repurchase agreement executed on April 20, 2007 (effective April 12, 2007) with Natixis Real Estate Capital, Inc. to be used as a warehouse facility to finance the purchase of commercial real estate loans. The financing provided by the agreement matures April 18, 2010 subject to a one-year extension at the option of SPE 3 and subject further to the right of SPE 3 to repurchase the assets held in the facility earlier. We paid a facility fee of 0.75% of the maximum facility amount, or $1.125 million, at closing. Each repurchase transaction specifies its own terms, such as identification of the assets subject to the transaction, sale price, repurchase price and rate. We have guaranteed the obligations of SPE 3 under the agreement.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

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

	March 31, 2007
	Interest rates fall 100 basis points			Unchanged			Interest rates rise 100 basis points
ABS-RMBS, CMBS and other ABS(1)
Fair value	$	36,021		$	34,217		$	32,363

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

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

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

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

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

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

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