The Wells Fargo® Hybrid and Preferred Securities REIT (“WHPSR”) Index is designed to track the performance of preferred securities issued in the US market by real estate investment trusts. The index is composed exclusively of preferred shares and depositary shares (collectively, the “Preferred Securities”).
Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Performance figures for periods greater than one year are annualized. The Fund’s total annual operating expense, including underlying funds, before fee waivers is 24.80% for Class A, 25.55% for Class C and 24.55% for Class I shares per the Fund’s July 1, 2014 prospectus. After fee waivers, the Fund’s total annual operating expense is 2.33% for Class A, 3.08% for Class C, and 2.08% for Class I shares. Class A and Class C shares are subject to a maximum sales load of 6.50% and 1.50% imposed on purchases, respectively.

Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) |
August 31, 2014 |
Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund (the “Trust” or the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 1, 2012 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company that operates as an interval fund with a continuous offering of Fund shares. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to produce current income, with a secondary objective to achieve a long-term capital appreciation with moderate volatility and low to moderate correlation to the broader equity markets. The Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of assets (defined in net assets plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in real estate and real estate related industry securities, primarily in income producing equity and debt securities. The Fund commenced operations on March 12, 2013.
The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C and Class I shares. Class A shares commenced operations on March 12, 2013 while Class C and Class I shares commenced operations on August 1, 2014. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. Class A shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 6.50%. Class C shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 1.50%. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the last bid price. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value.
When price quotations for certain securities are not readily available, or if the available quotations are not believed to be reflective of market value by the Adviser, those securities will be valued at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee using procedures adopted by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s net asset value (NAV).
Fair valuation procedures may be used to value a substantial portion of the assets of the Fund. The Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Adviser determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a broker-dealer or independent pricing service is inaccurate.
Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
August 31, 2014 |
The “fair value” of securities may be difficult to determine and thus judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process. The fair valuation methodology may include or consider the following guidelines, as appropriate: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, the Treasury yield curve, and credit quality.
Valuation of Private REITS – The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in Private Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Private REITs”). The Private REITs measure their investment assets at fair value, and report a NAV per share on a calendar quarter basis. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, the Fund has elected to apply the practical expedient and to value its investments in Private REITs at their respective NAVs at each quarter. For non calendar quarter days, the Valuation Committee estimates the fair value of each Private REIT by adjusting the most recent NAV for each REIT, as necessary, by the change in a relevant benchmark that the Valuation Committee has deemed to be representative of the entire Private REIT market.
Valuation of Public Non-Traded REITs – The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in Public Non-Traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Public Non-Traded REITs”). The Public Non-Traded REITs do not timely report periodic NAVs and therefore cannot be valued using the practical expedient. The Valuation Committee determines the fair value of Public Non-Traded REITs by considering various factors such as the most recent published NAV, the transaction price, secondary market trades, shareholder redemption and dividend reinvestment programs, discounted cash flows and potentially illiquidity discounts.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of August 31, 2014 for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Security Transactions and Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
August 31, 2014 |
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of its taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in open tax years (2014) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2015 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. Generally tax authorities can examine tax returns filed for the last three years.
Foreign Currency – The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions from investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on industry experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
| 3. | ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Advisory Fees – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by Resource Real Estate, Inc. (the “Adviser”). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser receives monthly fees calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended August 31, 2014, the Adviser earned advisory fees of $66,885.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or part of its management fees and/or make payments to limit Fund expenses, (including all organization and offering expenses, but excluding interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) at least until June 30, 2015, so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund do not exceed 1.99% per annum of Class A average daily net assets, 2.74% per annum of Class C average daily net assets, and 1.74% per annum of Class I average daily net assets. Fee waivers and expense payments may be recouped by the Adviser from the Fund, to the extent that overall expenses fall below the expense limitation, within three years of when the amounts were waived or reimbursed. During the six months ended August 31, 2014, the Adviser waived fees and reimbursed expenses of $82,121, all of which are available to be recouped by the Adviser until February 28, 2018 and $28,487 from the seed audit is recoupable thru March 8, 2017. As of August 31, 2014, cumulative expenses subject to recapture pursuant to the aforementioned conditions amounted to $343,290, and will expire on February 28, 2017.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
August 31, 2014 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies and forward foreign currency contracts.
Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such capital losses of $1,544.
Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/ tax basis treatment of foreign currency gains/(losses), adjustments for passive foreign investment companies, and the reclass of Fund distributions resulted in reclassification for the period ended February 28, 2014 as follows:
Undistributed | | | Accumulated | |
Net Investment | | | Net Realized | |
Income (Loss) | | | Gains (Loss) | |
$ | 3,788 | | | $ | (3,788 | ) |

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
August 31, 2014 |
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur transaction costs, including sales loads and ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the period of time as indicated in the table below.
Actual Expenses: The first line of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes: The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning | | Ending Account | | Expenses Paid | | Expense Ratio |
| | Account Value | | Value | | During the Period*+ | | During Period** |
| | (3/1/14) | | (8/31/14) | | (3/1/14 to 8/31/14) | | (3/1/14 to 8/31/14) |

Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $1,085.00 | | $10.46 | | 1.99% |
Class C | | $1,000.00 | | $1,018.90 | | $2.27 | | 2.74% |
Class I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,018.90 | | $1.44 | | 1.74% |
Hypothetical (5% return before | | | | | | | | |

Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $1,015.17 | | $10.11 | | 1.99% |
Class C | | $1,000.00 | | $1,011.39 | | $13.89 | | 2.74% |
Class I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,016.43 | | $8.84 | | 1.74% |
| * | Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days and divided by 365 (to reflect the number of days in the six-month period ended August 31, 2014). |
| + | Class C and Class I shares commenced operations on August 1, 2014 therefore their expenses are equal to the average account value over the period, multiplied by the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the number of days in the period (30) divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (365). |
