NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF QUARTERLY PRESENTATION
Resource America, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: REXI) is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its real estate, financial fund management, and commercial finance operating segments. As a specialized asset manager, the Company seeks to develop investment funds for outside investors for which the Company provides asset management services, typically under long-term management and operating arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of, the sponsored fund. The Company limits its investment funds to investment areas where it owns existing operating companies or has specific expertise. The Company manages assets on behalf of institutional and individual investors and Resource Capital Corp. (“RSO”) (NYSE: RSO), a diversified real estate finance company that is organized and conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”).
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 year ended September 30, 2011. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending September 30, 2012.
LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LEAF”). In January 2011, the Company formed LEAF to conduct its equipment lease origination and servicing operations and to obtain outside equity and debt financing sources. LEAF Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, retained the management of the four equipment leasing partnerships, which are sub-serviced by LEAF. On November 16, 2011, the Company and LEAF, together with RSO, entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements (collectively the “November 2011 LCC Transaction”) with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm, and its affiliates (“Eos”). Pursuant to the November 2011 LCC Transaction, Eos invested $50.0 million in cash in LEAF in exchange for 50,000 shares of newly-issued 12% Series A Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase 2,954 shares of LEAF common stock for an exercise price of $0.01 per share, collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis, a 45.1% interest in LEAF. In exchange for its prior interest in LEAF, RSO received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 4,872 shares of newly-issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and 2,364 shares of newly-issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis, a 26.7% interest in LEAF. The Company retained 18,414 shares of LEAF common stock, representing a fully-diluted interest of 15.7%, and senior management of LEAF maintained a 10% fully-diluted interest. As a result of the November 2011 LCC Transaction, the Company deconsolidated LEAF (see Note 3) and has accounted for its investment in LEAF on the equity method beginning on November 17, 2011. In conjunction with the transaction and resulting deconsolidation of LEAF, the Company recorded a gain of $8.7 million.
Apidos Capital Management, LLC (“Apidos”). On April 17, 2012, the Company sold 100% of its common equity interests in Apidos, its collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) management subsidiary, to CVC Capital Partners SICAV-FIS, S.A., a private equity firm (“CVC”). Pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement and related agreements between the Company and CVC dated as of December 29, 2011, the Company sold Apidos in exchange for (i) $25.0 million in cash, (ii) a 33% limited partner interest in CVC Credit Partners, L.P, a newly-formed Cayman Islands limited partnership jointly owned by the Company and CVC (“CVC Credit Partners”), and (iii) a 33% interest in CVC Credit Partners’ general partner, a Jersey corporation (the “General Partner”). Prior to the closing, CVC contributed its credit management subsidiary to CVC Credit Partners. The Company also retained a preferred equity interest in Apidos, which entitles it to receive distributions from CVC Credit Partners equal to 75% of the incentive management fees from the legacy Apidos portfolios. The Company recorded a $54.7 million net gain on the sale of Apidos, including the investments in CVC Credit Partners and Apidos preferred equity at their fair value totaling $34.9 million. At June 30, 2012, these investments were reflected as Investments in Unconsolidated Loan Manager on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s accounts and the accounts of the Company’s majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. The Company also consolidates entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. Once it is determined that the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE, management performs a qualitative analysis to determine (i) if the Company has the power to direct the matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s financial performance; and (ii) if the Company has the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company’s variable interest possesses both of these characteristics, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and would be required to consolidate the VIE. This assessment must be done on an ongoing basis. The portions of these entities that the Company does not own are presented as noncontrolling interests as of the dates and for the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Variable interests in the Company’s real estate segment have historically related to subordinated financings in the form of mezzanine loans or unconsolidated real estate interests. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company had one such variable interest in an entity that it consolidated. The Company will continually assess its involvement with VIEs and reevaluate the requirement to consolidate them. See Note 8 for additional disclosures pertaining to VIEs.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications and Revisions
Certain reclassifications and revisions have been made to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation. Real estate assets of a consolidated VIE formerly included in Property and Equipment are now included in Investments in Real Estate.
Financing Receivables
Receivables from Managed Entities. The Company performs a review of the collectability of its receivables from managed entities on a quarterly basis. The Company analyzes the expected future cash flows of the managed entity. With respect to receivables from its commercial finance investment partnerships, the analysis takes into consideration several assumptions by management, specifically concerning estimates of future bad debts and recoveries. For receivables from the real estate investment entities for which there are uncertainties regarding collectability, the Company estimates the cash flows through the sale of the underlying properties, which is based on projected net operating income as a multiple of published capitalization rates, which is then reduced by the underlying mortgage balances and priority distributions due to the investors in the entity. The Company will record an allowance against the related receivable from managed entities to the extent that the estimated cash flows are insufficient to fully recover its receivable balance.

NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES − (Continued)
Investment Securities
The Company purchased investment securities classified as trading securities during fiscal 2012. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings and reported in revenue. To determine fair value, the Company uses third-party dealer quotes or bids. In fiscal 2011, the Company held shares of The Bancorp, Inc. (“TBBK”) (NASDAQ: TBBK) common stock in a benefit plan for a former executive (see Note 12). The shares, classified as trading, were valued at the closing price of the stock and unrealized gains and losses were included in other income.
Recent Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following guidance that is not yet effective for the Company as of June 30, 2012:
Comprehensive income (loss). In June 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendment requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income (loss) and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income (loss), the components of other comprehensive income (loss), and the total of comprehensive income (loss). In December 2011, the FASB updated the guidance to defer the requirement related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. The Company plans to provide the disclosures required by this amendment beginning October 1, 2012.
Newly-Adopted Accounting Principles
Fair value measurements. In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to revise the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend for the amendments to result in a change in the application of the current requirements. Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, such as specifying that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements such as specifying that, in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums or discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 and the Company has presented the required disclosures (see Note 18).

The unrealized losses in RSO common stock reflected in the above table are considered to be temporary impairments due to market factors and not reflective of credit deterioration. The Company considers its role as the external manager of RSO and the value of its management contract, which includes a substantial fee for termination of the manager. Further, because of its intent and ability to hold its investment in RSO, the Company does not consider the unrealized losses to be other-than-temporary impairments.

NOTE 7 − INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES - (Continued)
Two of the Trapeza entities that have incentive distributions, also known as carried interests, are subject to a potential clawback to the extent that such distributions exceed the cumulative net profits of the entities, as defined in the respective partnership agreements (see Note 19). The general partner of those entities is owned equally by the Company and its co-managing partner. Performance-based incentive fees in interim periods are recorded based upon a formula as if the contract were terminated at that date. On a quarterly basis (interim measurement date), the Company quantifies the cumulative net profits/net losses (as defined under the Trapeza partnership agreements) and allocates income/loss to limited and general partners according to the terms of such agreements.
The Trapeza entities include the Company’s 50% equity interest in one of the managers of the Trapeza CDO entities, Trapeza Capital Management, LLC (“TCM”). The Company does not control TCM and, accordingly, does not consolidate it.

NOTE 8 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In general, VIEs are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company has variable interests in VIEs through its management contracts and investments in various securitization entities, including collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) and CDO issuers. Since the Company serves as the asset manager for the investment entities it sponsored and manages, the Company is generally deemed to have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. In the case of an interest in a VIE managed by the Company, the Company will perform an additional qualitative analysis to determine if its interest (including any investment as well as any management fees that qualify as variable interests) could absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This analysis considers the most optimistic and pessimistic scenarios of potential economic results that could reasonably be experienced by the VIE. Then, the Company compares the benefits it would receive (in the optimistic scenario) or the losses it would absorb (in the pessimistic scenario) as compared to all benefits and losses absorbed by the VIE in total. If the benefits or losses absorbed by the Company were significant as compared to total benefits and losses absorbed by all variable interest holders, then the Company would conclude it is the primary beneficiary.
Consolidated VIE. The following table reflects the assets and liabilities of a real estate VIE which was included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
| | June 30, | | | September 30, | |

Cash and property and equipment, net | | $ | 783 | | | $ | 944 | |

VIEs Not Consolidated. The Company’s investments in RSO, Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (a fund that is currently in the offering stage, or “RRE Opportunity REIT”), and its investments in the structured finance entities that hold investments in bank loans (the “Apidos entities”), trust preferred assets (the “Trapeza entities”), and asset-backed securities (the “Ischus entities”), were all determined to be VIEs that the Company does not consolidate as it does not have the obligation of, or right to, benefits or losses that would be significant to those entities. With respect to RRE Opportunity REIT, the Company has advanced offering costs that are being reimbursed as the REIT raises additional equity. Except for those advances, the Company has not provided financial or other support to these VIEs and has no liabilities, contingent liabilities, or guarantees (implicit or explicit) related to these VIEs at June 30, 2012.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of the assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets that relate to the Company’s variable interests in identified nonconsolidated VIEs and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs in which it holds variable interests at June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

NOTE 11 – BORROWINGS – (Continued)
Corporate Debt
TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”). In November 2011, the Company amended its agreement to extend the maturity of the TD Bank facility from August 31, 2012 to August 31, 2013 and repaid the outstanding term loan in the amount of $1.3 million. The interest rate on borrowings is either (a) the prime rate of interest plus 2.25% or (b) LIBOR plus 3%, with a floor of 6%. The Company is also charged an annual fee of 0.5% on the unused facility amount as well as a 5.25% fee on the $503,000 of outstanding letters of credit.
The facility requires that the Company repay the facility in an amount equal to 30% of the aggregate net proceeds (gross sales proceeds less reasonable and customary costs and expenses related to the sale) for certain asset sales. Borrowings are secured by a first priority security interest in certain of the Company’s assets and the guarantees of certain subsidiaries, including (i) the present and future fees and investment income earned in connection with the management of, and investments in, sponsored CDO issuers, (ii) a pledge of 18,972 shares of TBBK common stock, and (iii) the pledge of 1,833,915 shares of RSO common stock. Availability under the facility is limited to the lesser of (a) 75% of the net present value of future management fees to be earned or (b) the maximum revolving credit facility amount.
At June 30, 2012, there was no outstanding principal balance on the secured term credit facility and the availability on the line was $7.0 million, as reduced for outstanding letters of credit. Weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 were $4.0 million and $4.9 million, at a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.0% for both periods and an effective interest rate (inclusive of the amortization of deferred finance costs) of 11.2% and 10.5%, respectively. Weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $7.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively, at a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.0% and 6.7% and an effective interest rate of 9.8% and 10.7%, respectively. Weighted average borrowings for the term note for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 were $259,000 at a weighted average borrowing rate of 6% and an effective interest rate of 38.2% (reflecting the accelerated amortization of deferred finance costs). Weighted average borrowings for the term note for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $4.4 million and $1.9 million, at a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.0% for both periods and an effective interest rate of 14.2% and 12.8%, respectively.
Republic First Bank (“Republic Bank”). In February 2011, the Company entered into a $3.5 million revolving credit facility with Republic Bank. The facility bears interest at the prime rate of interest plus 1% (floor of 4.5%). The loan is secured by a pledge of 700,000 shares of RSO stock and a first priority security interest in an office building located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Availability under this facility is limited to the lesser of (a) the sum of (i) 25% of the appraised value of the real estate, based upon the most recent appraisal delivered to the bank and (ii) 100% of the cash and 75% of the market value of the pledged RSO shares held in the pledged account; or (b) 100% of the cash and 100% of the market value of the pledged RSO shares held in the pledged account. In January 2012, the Company amended this facility to extend the maturity date from December 28, 2012 to December 1, 2013 and to add an unused annual facility fee equal to 0.25%. There were no borrowings under this facility for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012
Senior Notes
In November 2011, the Company redeemed $8.8 million of its existing Senior Notes for cash, modified the terms of the remaining $10.0 million of notes to reduce the interest rate to 9% and to extend the maturity to October 2013. The detachable 5-year warrants to purchase 3,690,195 shares of common stock issued with the original notes remain outstanding. The Company accounted for the warrants as a discount to the original Senior Notes. Upon the modification and partial repayment of the Senior Notes, the Company expensed the remaining $2.2 million of unamortized discount. The effective interest rate (inclusive of the amortization of the warrant discount) was 9.3% and 14.3% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The effective interest rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 was 22.6% and 21.9%, respectively.
Other Debt – Corporate
Capital leases. In December 2011, the Company entered into a capital lease for the purchase of equipment at an interest rate of 7.2%. The two-year lease requires monthly payments of $22,697. The principal balance of the lease at June 30, 2012 was $366,000.

Commercial Finance Debt – No Longer Consolidated with the Company
Due to the November 2011 LCC Transaction and resulting deconsolidation of LEAF, the Company’s commercial finance facilities are no longer included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Securitization of leases and loans. On October 28, 2011, LEAF completed a $105.0 million securitization. A newly-formed subsidiary of LEAF issued eight classes of notes which are asset-backed debt, secured and payable by certain assets of LEAF. The notes included eight fixed rate classes of notes ranging from 0.4% to 5.5%, rated by both Dominion Bond Rating Service, Inc. (“DBRS”) and Moody’s Investors Services, Inc., and mature from October 2012 to March 2019. The weighted average borrowings for the period from October 1 to November 16, 2011 were $42.7 million, at a weighted average borrowing rate of 2.6% and an effective interest rate (inclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs and interest rate swaps) of 5.6%.
Guggenheim Securities LLC (“Guggenheim”). At December 31, 2010, LEAF Financial had a short-term bridge loan with Guggenheim for borrowings up to $21.8 million. The bridge facility was repaid in January 4, 2011 and terminated on February 28, 2011. Beginning in January 2011, Guggenheim provided LEAF with a revolving warehouse credit facility with availability up to $110.0 million and committed to further expand the borrowing limit to $150.0 million. LEAF, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, issued to Guggenheim, as initial purchaser, six classes of DBRS-rated variable funding notes, with ratings ranging from “AAA” to “B”, for up to $110.0 million. The notes are secured and payable only from the underlying equipment leases and loans. Interest is calculated at a rate of 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin rate applicable to each class of notes. The revolving period of the facility ends on December 31, 2012 and the stated maturity of the notes is December 15, 2020, unless there is a mutual agreement to extend. Principal payments on the notes are required to begin when the revolving period ends. The Company was not an obligor or a guarantor of these securities and the facility was non-recourse to the Company. The weighted average borrowings for the period from October 1 to November 16, 2011 (when LEAF was deconsolidated; see Note 1) were $68.8 million, at a weighted average borrowing rate of 4.2% and an effective interest rate of 5.1%. The weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $58.2 million and $26.0 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.0% and 5.1%, respectively. The weighted average borrowings on the bridge loan for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $11.7 million at a weighted average interest rate 9.1%.
Series 2010-2 term securitization. In May 2010, LEAF Receivables Funding 3, LLC, a subsidiary of LEAF (“LRF3”), issued $120.0 million of equipment contract-backed notes (“Series 2010-2”) to provide financing for leases and loans. In the connection with the formation of LEAF in January 2011, RSO contributed the Series 2010-2 notes, along with the underlying lease portfolio, to LEAF. LRF3 is the sole obligor on these notes. The weighted average borrowings for the period from October 1 to November 16, 2011 (when LEAF was deconsolidated; see Note 1) were $70.1 million, at a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.1% and an effective interest rate of 8.5%. The weighted average borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $84.6 million and $57.8 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 8.5% and 8.6%, respectively.
Note payable to RSO − commercial finance. On July 20, 2011, RSO entered into an agreement with LEAF pursuant to which RSO agreed to provide a $10.0 million loan to LEAF, of which $6.9 million was funded as of September 30, 2011, with additional funding of $3.1 million prior to the November 16, 2011 deconsolidation. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum on the unpaid principal balance, payable quarterly. The loan was secured by the commercial finance assets of LEAF and LEAF’s interest in LRF3. In the November 2011 LCC Transaction, RSO received $8.5 million from LEAF in payment of the outstanding balance and extinguished the loan.

Covenants
The TD Bank credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants, which are customary for the type and size of the facility, including debt service coverage and debt to equity ratios. The debt to equity ratio restricts the amount of recourse debt the Company can incur based on a ratio of recourse debt to net worth.
The mortgage on the Company’s hotel property contains financial covenants related to the net worth and liquid assets of the Company. Although non-recourse in nature, the loan is subject to limited standard exceptions (or “carveouts”) which the Company has guaranteed. These carveouts will expire as the loan is paid down over the next ten years. The Company has control over the operations of the underlying property, which mitigates the potential risk associated with these carveouts and, accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. To date, the Company has not been required to make any carveout payments.
The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2012.

NOTE 14 − EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, inclusive of nonvested share-based awards that are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends. The diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) computation takes into account the effect of potential dilutive common shares. Potential common shares, consisting primarily of stock options, warrants and director deferred shares, are calculated using the treasury stock method.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS (in thousands):
| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Shares | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Basic shares outstanding | | | 19,815 | | | | 19,741 | | | | 19,618 | | | | 19,389 | |
Dilutive effect of stock options and award plans (1) | | | 1,221 | | | | − | | | | 846 | | | | − | |
Dilutive shares outstanding | | | 21,036 | | | | 19,741 | | | | 20,464 | | | | 19,389 | |
(1) | Due to the losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, stock options and warrants outstanding were antidilutive and, therefore, excluded from the Diluted EPS computation. As a result, Basic EPS and Diluted EPS shares were the same. Excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 were outstanding options to purchase 1.0 million shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $16.27, as well as outstanding warrants to purchase 3.7 million shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $5.11. |
NOTE 15 – BENEFIT PLANS
Supplemental Employment Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The Company established a SERP, which has Rabbi and Secular Trust components, for Mr. Edward E. Cohen (“Mr. E. Cohen”), while he was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company pays an annual benefit equal to $838,000 during his lifetime or for a period of 10 years from June 2004, whichever is longer. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold the 33,509 shares of TBBK common stock it held as of September 30, 2011 to fund SERP distribution payments to Mr. E. Cohen.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) which is a qualified non-contributory retirement plan established to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock for the benefit of its employees who are 21 years of age or older, have completed 1,000 hours of service and been employed by the Company for one year. Contributions to the ESOP were funded by the Company as set forth in the plan. In May 2012, the Company received a final determination letter from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to terminate the plan. Accordingly, the Company distributed the available plan assets to participants in July 2012 and will liquidate the ESOP trust in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE
In analyzing the fair value of its assets and liabilities accounted for on a fair value basis, the Company follows the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities are categorized into one of three levels based on the assumptions (inputs) used in valuing the asset or liability. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 − Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 − Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3 − Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and that are, consequently, not based on market activity, but upon particular valuation techniques.
There were no transfers between any of the Levels within the fair value hierarchy for any of the periods presented.
The following is a discussion of the assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, as well as the valuation techniques applied to each fair value measurement and the estimates and assumptions used by the Company in those measurements.
Receivables from managed entities. The Company recorded a discount on certain of its receivable balances due from its real estate and commercial finance managed entities due to the extended term of the repayment to the Company. The discount was computed based on estimated inputs, including the repayment term (Level 3).
For the real estate managed entity receivables, the Company assumes the fair value of the real estate investment funds through the sale of the underlying properties. The net proceeds are applied first to the payoff of the lenders and then to the payment of distributions due to investors; any balance remaining is then available to repay the amounts due to the Company. The balance sheet date fair value of the properties are individually calculated based on capitalized net operating income, which are derived from capitalization rates from a third-party research firm (for the region in which the properties are located, based on actual sales data for properties sold during the past year) as applied to the Company’s internally-generated projected operating results for each of the respective properties. These projections are historically based and are adjusted for current trends in the marketplace and specific changes as applicable by property.
With respect to the commercial finance partnership receivables, management projects the availability of excess cash flow at the individual investment entity to repay the Company’s receivable. In determining the excess cash flow, management starts with the gross future payments due on leases and loans for each of the funds, which are fixed and determinable, net of debt service and expected credit losses, which are estimated based on a migration analysis which is calculated based on historical data across the entire portfolio of leases and loans. This analysis estimates the likelihood that an account will progress through delinquency stages to ultimate charge-off. After an account becomes 180 or more days past due, any remaining balance is fully reserved, less an estimated recovery amount based on historical trends (currently estimated at 12.4%). Cash is first applied to the payoff of the underlying principal and interest on debt used to purchase the portfolios. The projected cash flows also take into consideration the receipt of other income (such as late fees or residual gains) and the payment of general and administrative expenses of the funds. The remaining excess cash is then available to repay the amounts due to the Company.

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE – (Continued)
Investment securities − equity securities. The Company uses quoted market prices (Level 1) to value its investments in RSO and TBBK common stock.
Investment securities − trading securities. The Company uses third-party dealer quotes or bids to estimate the fair value of its trading securities (Level 2).
Investment securities − CDO securities. The fair value of CDO securities is based primarily on internally generated expected cash flow models that require significant management judgments and estimates due to the lack of market activity and unobservable pricing inputs. Unobservable inputs into these models include default, recovery, discount and deferral rates, prepayment speeds and reinvestment interest spreads (Level 3).
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s CDO securities are prepayment rates, probability of default, loss severity rate, reinvestment price on underlying collateral and the discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the default or discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, whereas significant increases (decreases) in the recovery rate, prepayment rate or reinvestment price in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the discount rate and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates, recovery rates and reinvestment prices on underlying collateral.
Investment in real estate. The Company received an offer for the sale of one of its assets included in Investments in Real Estate. The offer was below the book value of the asset and, accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 (Level 2).
Investment in CVC Credit Partners. The Company utilized a third-party valuation firm to value its investment in CVC Credit Partners and the Apidos preferred stock. The joint venture investment was valued at $28.6 million based on the weighted average of several calculations, including implied transaction, dividend discount, discounted cash flow, and guideline public company models. These valuation models required assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which took into consideration the current economic environment and credit market conditions (Level 3).
Investment in Apidos preferred stock and contractual commitment. The Company’s investment in the Apidos preferred stock, valued at $6.8 million, as well as the corresponding contractual commitment valued at $453,000, were both based on the present value of the underlying discounted projected cash flows of the legacy Apidos incentive management fees (Level 3).
Investment in LEAF. The Company’s investment in LEAF, also based on a third-party valuation, was valued at $1.7 million. The valuation utilized several approaches, including discounted expected cash flows, market approach and comparable sales transactions to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investment in LEAF as a result of the November 2011 LCC Transaction. These approaches required assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which were based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions (Level 3).

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE – (Continued)
The following items are included in the Company’s fair value disclosures at September 30, 2011; however, due to the LEAF transaction, they are no longer included in the consolidated financial statements:
Retained interest − commercial finance. During fiscal 2010, the Company sold leases and loans to third-parties in which portions of the proceeds were retained by the purchasers. The purchasers have the right to return leases and loans that default within periods ranging from approximately six to forty-eight months after the date of sale and to deduct the applicable percentage from the retained proceeds. The Company determines the fair value of these retained interests by calculating the present value of future expected cash flows using key assumptions for credit losses and discount rates based on historical experience and repayment terms (Level 3).
Interest rate swaps. These instruments are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and utilizing models that use as their primary basis readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors. Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with these derivatives utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of these derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of these derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that these derivative valuations in their entirety were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Guggenheim - secured revolving facility. The proceeds from this loan were allocated to the revolving facility and the warrants issued to the lender based on their relative fair values, as determined by an independent third-party appraiser. The appraiser determined the fair value of the debt based primarily on the interest rates of similarly rated notes with similar terms. The appraiser assessed the fair value of the equity of LEAF in making its determination of the fair value of the warrants (Level 3).
Impaired loans and leases - commercial finance. Leases and loans are considered impaired when they are 90 or more days past due and are placed on non-accrual status. The Company records an allowance for the impaired loans and leases based upon historical experience (Level 3).
As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the Company’s assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE – (Continued)
The fair value of financial instruments, excluding instruments valued on a recurring basis, is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Receivables from managed entities | | $ | 46,917 | | | $ | 43,552 | | | $ | 54,815 | | | $ | 39,224 | |
Investments in commercial finance – loans held for investment | | | − | | | | − | | | | 19,640 | | | | 19,550 | |
| | $ | 46,917 | | | $ | 43,552 | | | $ | 74,455 | | | $ | 58,774 | |
Borrowings: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Real estate debt | | $ | 10,574 | | | $ | 10,729 | | | $ | 10,700 | | | $ | 10,700 | |
Senior Notes | | | 10,000 | | | | 10,863 | | | | 16,263 | | | | 17,438 | |
Corporate secured credit facilities and note | | | − | | | | − | | | | 8,743 | | | | 8,743 | |
Other debt | | | 2,043 | | | | 1,715 | | | | 3,807 | | | | 2,909 | |
Commercial finance debt | | | − | | | | − | | | | 183,146 | | | | 183,146 | |
| | $ | 22,617 | | | $ | 23,307 | | | $ | 222,659 | | | $ | 222,936 | |
For cash, receivables and payables, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The estimated fair value of the receivables from managed entities includes the discounted net projected cash flows available to repay the Company on amounts due from its four commercial finance investment entities.
The carrying value of the Company’s corporate secured revolving credit facilities and term note approximates their fair values because of their variable interest rates. The Company estimated the fair value of the real estate debt using current interest rates for similar loans. The Company estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes by applying the percentage appreciation in a high-yield fund with approximately similar quality and risk attributed to the Senior Notes. The carrying value of the Company’s other debt was estimated using current interest for similar loans at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. The carrying value of the Company’s commercial finance debt approximated its fair value due to its recent issuance at September 30, 2011 and was deconsolidated during the Company’s first quarter ended December 31, 2011 (all fair values are Level 3).

NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEAF lease valuation commitment. In accordance with the November 2011 LCC Transaction, the Company and RSO have undertaken a contingent obligation with respect to the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LRF3. To the extent that the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LRF3 is less than $18.7 million (the value of the equity of LRF3 on the date it was contributed by RSO to LEAF), as of the final testing date within 90 days of December 31, 2013, the Company and RSO have agreed to be jointly and severally obligated to contribute cash to LEAF to the extent of any shortfall. The LRF3 equity as of June 30, 2012 was in excess of this commitment and, therefore, no liability was required.
Limited loan guarantee. The Company and two of its commercial finance fund partnerships, Lease Equity Appreciation Fund I, L.P. (“LEAF I”) and Lease Equity Appreciation Fund II, L.P. (“LEAF II”), have provided a limited guarantee to a lender to the LEAF partnerships in exchange for a waiver of any existing defaulted loan covenants and certain future financial covenants. The loans mature at the earlier of (a) the maturity date (March 20, 2014 for LEAF I and December 21, 2013 for LEAF II), or (b) the date on which an event of default under the loan agreement occurs. The maximum guarantee provided by the Company is up to $7.3 million ($2.3 million for LEAF I and $5.0 million for LEAF II). If the Company were required to make any such payments under the guarantee in the future, it would have the option to either step in as the lender or otherwise make a capital contribution to the LEAF partnerships for the amount of the required guarantee payment. Under certain circumstances, the lender will also discount their loans by approximately $250,000 for LEAF I and $347,500 for LEAF II. Management has determined that, based on projected cash flows from the underlying lease and loan portfolios collateralizing the loans, there should be sufficient funds to repay the LEAF partnerships’ outstanding loan balances and, accordingly, the Company has not recorded any future liability under the guarantee.
Broker-dealer capital requirement. Resource Securities, Inc. serves as a dealer-manager for the sale of securities of direct participation investment programs, both public and private, sponsored by subsidiaries of the Company who also serve as general partners and/or managers of these programs. Additionally, Resource Securities serves as an introducing agent for transactions involving sales of securities of financial services companies, REITs and insurance companies for the Company and for RSO. As a broker-dealer, Resource Securities is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined in regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which was $100,000 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, Resource Securities had net capital of $222,000 and $254,000, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $122,000 and $154,000, respectively.
Clawback liability. On November 1, 2009 and January 28, 2010, the general partners of two of the Trapeza entities, which are owned equally by the Company and its co-managing partner, repurchased substantially all of the remaining limited partnership interests in the two Trapeza entities with potential clawback liabilities, for $4.4 million. The Company contributed $2.2 million (its 50% share). The remaining clawback liability was $1.2 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.
Legal proceedings. In September 2011, First Community Bank, (“First Community”) filed a complaint against First Tennessee Bank and approximately thirty other defendants consisting of investment banks, rating agencies, collateral managers, including Trapeza Capital Management, LLC (“TCM”), and issuers of CDOs, including Trapeza CDO XIII, Ltd. and Trapeza CDO XIII, Inc. TCM and the Trapeza CDO issuers are collectively referred to as Trapeza. The complaint includes causes of action against TCM for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, violation of the Tennessee Securities Act of 1980 and unjust enrichment. First Community alleges, among other things, that it invested in certain CDOs, that the defendant rating agencies assigned inflated investment grade ratings to the CDOs, and that the defendant investment banks, collateral managers and issuers (including Trapeza) fraudulently and/or negligently made “materially false and misleading representations and omissions” that First Community relied on in investing in the CDOs, including both written representations in offering materials and unspecified oral representations. Specifically, with respect to Trapeza, First Community alleges that it purchased $20 million of notes in the D tranche of the Trapeza CDO XIII transaction from J.P. Morgan. The Court dismissed this matter in June 2012. First Community filed a Notice of Appeal in July 2012.

NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES – (Continued)
The Company is also a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or operations.
Real estate commitments. As a specialized asset manager, the Company sponsors and manages investment funds in which it may make an equity investment along with outside investors. This equity investment is generally based on a percentage of funds raised and varies among investment programs. With respect to RRE Opportunity REIT, the Company is committed to invest 1% of the equity raised to a maximum amount of $2.5 million. This commitment has been reduced to $1.3 million as of June 30, 2012 for funds already invested to date.
In July 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with one of the tenant in common (“TIC”) programs it sponsored and manages. This agreement requires the Company to fund up to $1.9 million, primarily for capital improvements, for the underlying property over the next two years. The Company has advanced funds totaling $1.4 million as of June 30, 2012.
The liabilities for the real estate commitments will be recorded in the future as amounts become due and payable.
General corporate commitments. The Company is also party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and other benefits, including severance payments under specified circumstances.
As of June 30, 2012, except for the clawback liability recorded for the two Trapeza entities, the real estate commitments, and executive compensation, the Company did not believe it was probable that any payments would be required under any of its commitments and contingencies, and accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations were recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Overview of the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
We are a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through our real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management sectors. As a specialized asset manager, we seek to develop investment funds for outside investors for which we provide asset management services, typically under long-term management arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of, our sponsored investment funds. We typically maintain an investment in the funds we sponsor. As of June 30, 2012, we managed $15.0 billion of assets.
We limit our fund development and management services to asset classes where we own existing operating companies or have specific expertise. We believe this strategy enhances the return on investment we can achieve for our funds. In our real estate operations, we concentrate on the ownership, operation and management of multifamily and commercial real estate and real estate mortgage loans including whole mortgage loans, first priority interests in commercial mortgage loans, known as A notes, subordinated interests in first mortgage loans, known as B notes, mezzanine loans, investments in discounted and distressed real estate loans and investments in “value-added” properties (properties which, although not distressed, need substantial improvements to reach their full investment potential). In our financial fund management operations, we concentrate on trust preferred securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies, bank loans and asset backed securities, or ABS.
In our real estate segment, we have focused our efforts primarily on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate and real estate related debt that has been significantly discounted due to the effects of current economic conditions and high levels of leverage. We expect to continue to expand this business by raising investor funds through our retail broker channel for investment programs, principally through Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. which we refer to as RRE Opportunity REIT. We also continue to monetize our legacy real estate portfolio.
In our financial fund management segment, we have sponsored and manage issuers of collateralized debt and loan obligations, or CDOs and CLOs. In October 2011, on behalf of Resource Capital Corp., or RSO, and third-party investors, we closed Apidos CLO VIII, a $350.0 million CLO.
On April 17, 2012, we completed the sale of 100% of our equity interests in Apidos Capital Management, LLC, or Apidos, our CLO management subsidiary, to CVC Capital Partners SICAV-FIS, S.A., a private equity firm, or CVC. In connection with the transaction, we received $25.0 million in cash before transaction costs and partnership interests in a joint venture, CVC Credit Partners, L.P., or CVC Credit Partners, that includes the Apidos portfolios as well as the portfolios contributed by CVC. Additionally, we retained a preferred equity interest in Apidos, which entitles us to receive 75% of the incentive management fees from the legacy Apidos portfolios that were previously managed by us and are now managed by CVC Credit Partners. We recorded a $54.7 million net gain on the sale.
Our commercial finance operations underwent significant restructuring and recapitalization during fiscal 2011 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012. These transactions provided substantial amounts of both equity and debt financing to the lease origination and servicing platform, which is now held by LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc., or LEAF. Our subsidiary, LEAF Financial Corporation, retained the partnership management operations. As a result of the recapitalization, our equity interest in LEAF was reduced to 15.7% on a fully diluted basis, and we have deconsolidated LEAF from our financial statements as of November 16, 2011. We recorded an $8.7 million gain on the deconsolidation of LEAF, inclusive of a $1.7 million remeasurement gain to reflect our investment in LEAF at fair value during our first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011. Due to the deconsolidation of LEAF, we have decreased our total assets at June 30, 2012 by $227.9 million and our outstanding borrowings by $184.7 million from the corresponding balances reported at September 30, 2011. We currently account for our interests in LEAF as an equity method investment. From November 16, 2011 to March 31, 2012, the equity losses we recorded from LEAF reduced our investment to zero as of March 31, 2012. In addition, we have recorded provisions for credit losses of $5.7 million and $10.5 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, on our receivables due from three of our commercial finance investment funds based on reductions in their projected cash flows.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we further improved our balance sheet and liquidity by refinancing our existing corporate debt. In November 2011, we redeemed $8.8 million of our Senior Notes and modified the remaining $10.0 million of notes to reduce the interest rate to 9% from 12% and to extend the maturity to October 2013. In conjunction with the modification of the notes, we accelerated the amortization of the warrant cost associated with the original issuance and, accordingly, recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, we amended our corporate credit facility with TD Bank to extend the maturity from August 2012 to August 2013 and amended our Republic Bank facility to extend its maturity from December 2012 to December 2013.
Primarily as a result of the $33.8 million net gain (net of tax of $20.9 million) on the sale of Apidos, we recorded consolidated net income attributable to common shareholders of $30.2 million and $28.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012.
Assets Under Management
Our assets under management increased by $1.6 billion to $15.0 billion at June 30, 2012 from $13.4 billion at June 30, 2011. The following table sets forth information relating to our assets under management by operating segment (in millions): (1)
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Financial fund management | | $ | 12,737 | | | $ | 11,200 | | | $ | 1,537 | (2) | | | 14% | |

(1) | For information on how we calculate assets under management, see the table and related notes at the end of this section. |
(2) | The increase is primarily due to the $2.0 billion addition of the CVC portfolio contributed to CVC Credit Partners for which we own 33% and the addition of Apidos CLO VIII with $351.1 million of assets. This increase was offset, in part, by reductions in the eligible collateral bases of our ABS ($346.1 million), corporate loan ($180.5 million) and trust preferred portfolios ($265.9 million) resulting from defaults, paydowns, sales and calls. |
(3) | Reduction primarily reflects the paydowns of existing leases and loans in our commercial finance funds. |
Assets under management are primarily managed through the investment entities we sponsor. Our financial fund management and real estate segments manage assets on behalf of RSO. The following table sets forth the number of entities we manage by operating segment, including tenant in common, or TIC, property interests:

We provide a more detailed discussion of the revenues generated by each of our business segments under “Results of Operations: Real Estate”, “Financial Fund Management,” and “Commercial Finance.”
Results of Operations: Real Estate
Through our real estate segment, we focus on four different areas:
| ● | the acquisition, ownership and management of portfolios of discounted real estate and real estate related debt, which we have acquired through two sponsored real estate investment entities as well as through joint ventures with institutional investors; |
| ● | the sponsorship and management of real estate investment entities that principally invest in multifamily housing; |
| ● | the management, principally for RSO, of general investments in commercial real estate debt, including first mortgage debt, whole loans, mortgage participations, B notes, mezzanine debt and related commercial real estate securities; and |
| ● | to a significantly lesser extent, the management and resolution of a portfolio of real estate loans and property interests that we acquired at various times between 1991 and 1999, which we collectively refer to as our legacy portfolio. |

Revenues – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Three and
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011
Revenues from our real estate operations decreased $5.0 million (31%) and increased $298,000 (1%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We attribute the changes primarily to the following:
Management fees – increased by $2.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, principally due to the following:
| ● | a $930,000 and $1.5 million increase in asset management fees, respectively, reflecting the additional properties we acquired for the distressed portfolio we manage; |
| ● | a $228,000 and $652,000 increase in property management fees, respectively, earned by our property manager, Resource Residential, reflecting a 3,064 unit increase (21%) in multifamily units under management to 17,897 units at June 30, 2012 from 14,833 at June 30, 2011; and |
| ● | a $1.2 million and $2.1 million increase in REIT management fees from RSO, respectively, due to an increase in incentive management fees based on the adjusted operating earnings of RSO, which varies by quarter, as well as an increase in the equity we manage for RSO, which produces an increased base management fee. |
Other revenues – decreased by $7.4 million and $3.9 million, principally due to the following:
| ● | a $365,000 and $3.2 million increase in fee income, respectively, in connection with the purchase and third-party financing of property through our real estate investment entities. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, we earned fees from the acquisition of three properties (valued at $64.2 million) and three loans (valued at $23.6 million) and the sale of three properties (valued at $44.0 million) and two loans (valued at $920,000), while in the prior year we earned fees from the acquisition of two distressed notes (valued at $11.9 million), and four loans (valued at $28.5 million) and fees from the sale of a building owned by one of our equity investments during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011; this increase was more than offset by |
| ● | a $7.7 million and $7.2 million decrease in equity in earnings, respectively, of unconsolidated entities. The nine months ended June 30, 2012 includes a $750,000 equity gain for funds released from escrow related to the fiscal 2011 sale of one of our legacy portfolio investments in Washington D.C. The prior year period equity in earnings included a $7.6 million gain from this transaction. |
Costs and Expenses – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Three and
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011
Costs and expenses of our real estate operations increased by $659,000 (10%) and $3.7 million (20%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We attribute these changes primarily to the following:
| ● | a $617,000 and $3.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses, respectively, related principally to the costs of fundraising and marketing for RRE Opportunity REIT and increased wages and benefits; and |
| ● | a $70,000 decrease and a $412,000 increase in Resource Residential expenses, respectively, due to increased wages and benefits, primarily in conjunction with the additional personnel needed to operate and manage the increase in properties; offset by a reduction in general operating expenses. |
Results of Operations: Financial Fund Management
Financial Fund Management
General. We conduct our financial fund management operations primarily through six separate operating entities:
| ● | CVC Credit Partners, a joint venture between us and an unrelated third-party, finances, structures and manages investments in bank loans, high yield bonds and equity investments through CDO issuers, managed accounts and a credit opportunities fund. Prior to April 17, 2012, we conducted these operations through our Apidos business; |
| ● | Trapeza Capital Management, LLC, or TCM, a joint venture between us and an unrelated third-party, manages investments in trust preferred securities and senior debt securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies through CDO issuers and related partnerships. TCM, together with the Trapeza CDO issuers and Trapeza partnerships, are collectively referred to as Trapeza; |
| ● | Resource Financial Institutions Group, Inc., or RFIG, serves as the general partner for seven company-sponsored affiliated partnerships which invest in financial institutions; |
| ● | Ischus Capital Management, LLC, or Ischus, finances, structures and manages investments in ABS including residential mortgage-backed securities, or RMBS, and commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS; |
| ● | Resource Capital Markets, Inc., or Resource Capital Markets, through our registered broker-dealer subsidiary, Resource Securities, Inc., or Resource Securities, (formerly Chadwick Securities, Inc.), acts as an agent in the primary and secondary markets for structured finance securities and manages accounts for institutional investors; and |
| · | Resource Capital Manager, Inc., or RCM, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, provides investment management and administrative services to RSO under a management agreement between us, RCM and RSO. |

(2) | In April 2012, we sold 100% of Apidos to CVC and retained a 33% interest in CVC Credit Partners, which manages the former Apidos portfolio as well as the portfolio contributed by CVC. |
In our financial fund management operating segment, we earn monthly fees on assets managed on behalf of institutional and individual investors as follows:
| ● | Collateral management fees − we receive fees for managing the assets held by CDO issuers we have sponsored, including subordinate and incentive fees. These fees vary by CDO issuer, with our annual fees ranging between 0.05% and 0.50% of the aggregate principal balance of the eligible collateral owned by the CDO issuers. CDO indentures require that certain overcollateralization test ratios, or O/C ratios, be maintained. O/C ratios measure the ratio of assets (collateral) to liabilities (notes) of a given CDO issuer. Losses incurred on collateral due to payment defaults, payment deferrals or rating agency downgrades reduce the O/C ratios. If specified O/C ratios are not met by a CDO issuer, subordinate or incentive management fees, which are discussed in the following sections, are deferred and interest collections from collateral are applied to outstanding principal balances on the CDO notes, typically in order of seniority. |
| ● | Administration fees − we receive fees for managing the assets held by our company-sponsored partnerships and credit opportunities fund. These fees vary by limited partnership or fund, with our annual fee ranging between 0.75% and 2.00% of the partnership or fund capital balance. |
Based on the terms of our general partner interests, two of the Trapeza partnerships we manage as general partner include a clawback provision.
We discuss the basis for our fees and revenues for each area in more detail in the following sections.
Our financial fund management operations historically have depended upon our ability to sponsor CDO issuers and sell their CDOs. During the past several years, the market for CDOs in the asset classes we manage has been extremely limited. In October 2011, we were able to sponsor Apidos CLO VIII, the first such deal we closed since fiscal 2007. In July 2012, CVC Credit Partners closed its first CLO, Apidos CLO IX; however, we cannot predict whether we and/or our joint venture will be able to sponsor other CLOs and CDOs in the future.
CVC Credit Partners
Through CVC Credit Partners, we sponsored, structured and/or currently manage 20 CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors and RSO. These joint venture issuers, accounts and fund hold approximately $7.6 billion in U.S. and European bank loans and corporate bonds at June 2012, of which $2.9 billion are managed on behalf of RSO through nine CDO issuers.
Under our former Apidos business, we derived revenues through base and subordinate management fees. Base management fees varied by CDO issuer (ranged between 0.01% and 0.15% of the aggregate principal balance of eligible collateral held by the CDO issuers). Subordinate management fees, which also varied by CDO issuer (ranged between 0.04% and 0.40% of the aggregate principal balance of eligible collateral held by the CDO issuers), were subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs. Though we were entitled to receive incentive management fees, which were also subordinate to debt service payments, we did not receive any such fees in fiscal 2011 or for the nine months ended June 30, 2012.
As a result of the sale and resulting deconsolidation of Apidos, we no longer reflect the revenues and expenses of the Apidos business in our consolidated results, and instead record our 33% equity interests in the operations of CVC Credit Partners.
Trapeza
In our Trapeza operations, we sponsored, structured and currently co-manage 13 CDO issuers holding approximately $3.7 billion in trust preferred securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies.
We own a 50% interest in an entity that manages 11 Trapeza CDO issuers and a 33.33% interest in another entity that manages two Trapeza CDO issuers. We also own a 50% interest in the general partners of the limited partnerships that own the equity interests of five Trapeza CDO issuers. Additionally, we have invested as a limited partner in each of these limited partnerships. On November 1, 2009 and January 28, 2010, those general partners repurchased substantially all of the remaining limited partnership interests in two of the Trapeza entities.
We derive revenues from our Trapeza operations through base management fees. Base management fees vary by CDO issuer, but range from between 0.10% and 0.25% of the aggregate principal balance of the eligible collateral held by the CDO issuers. These fees are shared with our co-sponsors.
Company-Sponsored Partnerships
We sponsored, structured and, through RFIG, currently manage seven affiliated partnerships for individual and institutional investors, which hold approximately $61.7 million of investments in financial institutions. We derive revenues from these operations through annual management fees, based on 2.0% of equity. We also have invested as a general and limited partner in these partnerships. We may receive a carried interest of up to 20% upon meeting specific investor return rates.
Since March 2009, we have sponsored and managed an affiliated partnership organized as a credit opportunities fund which holds approximately $26.9 million in bank loans, high yield bonds and uninvested capital. The partnership pays its manager quarterly in-advance base management fees of 1.5%, and annual incentive management fees calculated at 20% of the partnership’s annual net profits, subject to a loss carryforward provision and an investor hurdle rate. In connection with the sale of Apidos in April 2012, we will no longer earn management and incentive fees from the partnership, but will continue to earn fee revenues through our 33% joint venture. Our general partner interest in the partnership was sold to CVC for approximately $250,000, while retaining our limited partner interest.
Ischus
We sponsored, structured and/or currently manage eight CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors, which hold approximately $1.3 billion in primarily real estate ABS including RMBS, CMBS and credit default swaps.
We derive revenues from our Ischus operations through base management fees. Base management fees vary by CDO issuer, ranging from between 0.10% and 0.20% of the aggregate principal balance of eligible collateral held by the CDO issuer.

Revenues – Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Revenues decreased $2.3 million (43%) to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. We attribute the decrease primarily to the following:
| ● | a $2.6 million decrease in fund management fees, primarily due to the following: |
| – | a $2.5 million decrease in CLO collateral management and partnership management fees as a result of the sale of the Apidos business; |
| – | an $85,000 increase in our share of expenses for TCM; |
| – | a $77,000 decrease in collateral management fees from our Ischus operations primarily due to defaulted securities; and |
| ● | a $281,000 increase in RSO management fees primarily due to a $722,000 increase in incentive management fees earned by Resource Capital Markets for managing a trading portfolio on behalf of RSO. This increase was partially offset by a $275,000 decrease in base management fees and a $166,000 decrease in incentive management fees earned, due to the sale of Apidos; |
| ● | a $559,000 decrease in introductory agent fees as a result of fees earned in connection with 15 structured security transactions with an average fee of $17,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 37 structured security transactions with an average fee of $22,000 for the prior year period; |
| ● | a $192,000 increase representing our 33% equity interests in the earnings of CVC Credit Partners for 74 days; |
| ● | a $178,000 net increase in unrealized gains and interest recorded on trading securities purchased during the three months ended June 30, 2012; and |
| ● | a $289,000 increase in our share of unrealized fair value adjustments recorded related to our limited and general partner interests held in unconsolidated company-sponsored partnerships, which may vary significantly quarter to quarter. |
Revenues – Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011
Revenues decreased $5.3 million (25%) to $15.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. We attribute the decrease primarily to the following:
| ● | a $3.1 million decrease in fund management fees, principally from the following: |
| – | a $2.8 million decrease in CLO collateral management fees, partnership management fees, and other advisory fees as a result of the sale of the Apidos business; and |
| – | a $260,000 decrease in collateral management fees from our Ischus operations primarily due to defaulted securities. |
| ● | a $367,000 increase in RSO management fees primarily due to $444,000 in incentive management fees earned by Resource Capital Markets for managing a trading portfolio on behalf of RSO. This increase was partially offset by a $57,000 decrease in base management fees and a $16,000 decrease in incentive management fees earned due to the sale of Apidos; |
| ● | a $3.4 million decrease in introductory agent fees as a result of fees earned in connection with 50 structured security transactions with an average fee of $19,000 for the nine months ended June, 2012 as compared to 115 structured security transactions with an average fee of $38,000 for the prior year period; |
| ● | a $165,000 net decrease in earnings from four unconsolidated CDO issuers invested in bank loans we previously sponsored and managed, primarily resulting from the sale of our equity interest in one of our European CLOs in December 2010; |
| ● | a $192,000 increase representing our 33% equity interests in the earnings of CVC Credit Partners for 74 days; |
| ● | a $178,000 net increase in unrealized gains and interest recorded on trading securities purchased during the three months ended June 30, 2012; and |
| ● | a $546,000 increase in our share of unrealized fair value adjustments recorded related to our limited and general partner interests held in unconsolidated company-sponsored partnerships, which may vary significantly period to period. |
Costs and Expenses – Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations decreased $1.2 million (29%) for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of a $1.5 million decrease in compensation due to the reduced number of employees in connection with the sale of Apidos, and a $272,000 decrease in commissions on structured security transactions due to reduced activity. These decreases were partially offset by a $707,000 increase in profit-sharing relating to portfolio management activities conducted by Resource Capital Markets for RSO.
Costs and Expenses – Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011
Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations decreased $3.7 million (22%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of a $2.1 million decrease in compensation due to a reduced number of employees in connection with the sale of Apidos, and a $1.7 million decrease in commissions on structured security transactions due to reduced activity. These decreases were partially offset by a $110,000 increase in profit-sharing relating to portfolio management activities conducted by Resource Capital Markets for RSO.
Results of Operations: Commercial Finance
At June 30, 2012, the commercial finance assets we managed through our unconsolidated joint venture decreased by $101.0 million to $528.0 million as compared to $629.0 million at June 30, 2011. This decrease reflects a $238.0 million reduction in assets we managed for our four investment entities due to the natural runoff of the lease portfolios, which was partially offset by an increase in the LEAF portfolio. As of June 30, 2012, LEAF managed approximately 58,000 leases and loans for itself and our investment entities, with an average original finance value of $25,000 and an average term of 58 months as compared to approximately 69,000 leases and loans with an average original finance value of $25,000 and an average term of 57 months as of June 30, 2011.

We consolidated the operating results of LEAF through November 16, 2011 and have recorded our equity interest in the losses of LEAF for the remainder of the nine months ended June 30, 2012. We continue to consolidate the operating results of LEAF Financial.

Revenues & Expenses – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Three and
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011
Due to the deconsolidation of LEAF, we ceased to reflect LEAF’s revenues and expenses after November 2011 with our consolidated results. Instead, we record our interests in LEAF’s operations on the equity basis of accounting. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, our share of LEAF’s losses have reduced our investment to zero such that we will not reflect any future losses of LEAF. However, we will continue to record our share of any charges that may be recorded in LEAF’s accumulated other comprehensive income relating to hedging activities.
Commencing December 1, 2010, we agreed to waive all future management fees from our commercial finance investment partnerships due to their reduced equity distributions as a result of the impact of the recession on their respective cash flows. Accordingly, we waived $1.1 million and $3.8 million of fund management fees from these entities for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, we waived fees totaling $1.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively.
Results of Operations: Other Costs and Expenses
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses declined by $47,000 (2%) and $697,000 (8%) during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 is principally related to reduced professional fees, primarily accounting, auditing and legal services.
Restructuring Expenses
We recorded a $365,000 charge for restructuring during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 consisting of severance and benefits for terminated employees. The decrease in staffing levels reflects our decreased ownership percentage as a result of the sale of Apidos and the recapitalization of LEAF.

We have estimated, based on projected cash flows, that three of the commercial finance funds and two of the real estate partnerships that we sponsored and manage will not have sufficient funds to pay a portion of their accrued management fees and, accordingly, we recorded provisions of $5.7 million and $10.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $3.2 million and $6.8 million recorded for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization
Due to the November 2011 deconsolidation of LEAF, depreciation expense has declined for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year periods. The following table reflects the depreciation reported by LEAF as compared to our other operating segments (in thousands):

Interest Expense
As a result of the deconsolidation of LEAF and a reduction in both corporate borrowings and the average interest rate on those borrowings, interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 declined by $3.7 million (87%) and $6.6 million (61%) as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011. The following table reflects interest expense (exclusive of intercompany interest charges) as reported by segment (in thousands):

Gain on the Deconsolidation and Sale of Subsidiaries
Gain on Deconsolidation of LEAF. In November 2011, we obtained an additional investment in LEAF by a third-party private investment firm. Accordingly, we determined that we no longer control LEAF and, effective with that investment, we have deconsolidated it for financial reporting purposes. As a result of that transaction, our equity interest in LEAF is 15.7% on a fully diluted basis. We recorded a $7.0 million gain to bring the value of our negative investment in LEAF to zero. In addition, based on a third-party valuation, our investment in LEAF was valued at $1.7 million. The valuation utilized several approaches, including discounted expected cash flows, market approach and comparable sales transactions to estimate the fair value of our investment in LEAF as a result of the transaction. These approaches required assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which were based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions. Accordingly, we recorded a total gain of $8.7 million in conjunction with the deconsolidation of LEAF.
Gain on Sale of Apidos. On April 17, 2012, we completed the sale of 100% of our equity interests in Apidos to CVC and recorded a net gain on the sale of $54.7 million. Our investment in CVC Credit Partners was valued at $28.6 million based on a third-party valuation. The valuation utilized several approaches, including the implied transaction, dividend discount model, discounted cash flow analysis, and guideline public company. These approaches required assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates, which were based on the current economic environment and credit market conditions. We are also entitled to receive incentive management fees from the legacy Apidos portfolios which were valued at $6.8 million based on the present value of the discounted projected cash flows of the legacy Apidos incentive management fees.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In September and October 2009, we issued $18.8 million of Senior Notes along with detachable 5-year warrants to purchase common stock. The proceeds from the Senior Notes were allocated to the notes and the warrants based on their relative fair values. The warrant fair value was recorded as a discount to the notes and was to be amortized over a 3-year period using the effective interest method. In November 2011, we refinanced the Senior Notes through a partial redemption and modification. Due to the modification, we expensed the remaining $2.2 million discount related to the warrant fair value.
Gain on Sale of Management Contract
In December 2010, we sold the management contract of Resource Europe CLO I, or REM I, and recorded a gain of $6.5 million.
Gain on Extinguishment of Servicing and Repurchase Liabilities
In conjunction with the formation of LEAF in January 2011, we reversed the servicing and repurchase liabilities recorded in fiscal 2010 related to certain lease and loan sales to RSO, recognizing a gain of $4.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.
Gain (Loss) on Investment Securities, Net
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we sold 33,509 shares of The Bancorp, Inc., or TBBK, common stock and recognized a gain $22,000. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, we sold 20,400 and 65,125 shares of TBBK and recognized gains of $57,000 and $153,000, respectively. In December 2010, we received proceeds of $2.9 million from the sale of our equity investment in REM I and recognized a $1.5 million loss on the sale.
Net Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Charges on Investment Securities Recognized in Earnings
We recorded a $74,000 other-than-temporary impairment charge for one of our investments in CDOs, primarily invested in bank loans, during the nine months ended June 30, 2012. There were no such impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2012 or for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, decreased by $334,000 (48%) and $439,000 (22%) during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, to $362,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011. Foreign currency losses were $17,000 and $96,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $124,000 and $459,000 as compared to the foreign currency gains of $107,000 and $363,000 in the prior year periods, primarily reflecting decreased revenues resulting from the sale of our management contract for a European CDO issuer and, to a lesser extent, the negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded unrealized gains of $19,000 and $220,000, respectively, on the change in the fair value of TBBK common stock held in a retirement account for our former Chief Executive Officer. There was no similar activity in the current year due to the sale of these securities. Dividend income from RSO declined by $102,000 and $189,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, due to a $0.05 per share decrease in the dividend rate as compared to the prior year.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations, before taxes) was 38% for the three month and nine months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 57% and 38% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011. The change in the income tax rate primarily relates to the lesser impact of permanent items relative to the projected pre-tax income for fiscal 2012. Our effective income tax rate without discrete tax items would have been 37% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012.
Currently, we project our effective tax rate to be between 36% and 39% for the remainder of fiscal 2012. This rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings and the level of our tax credits. We take certain of these and other factors, including our history of pretax earnings, into account in assessing our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets.
We are subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and other taxing authorities in certain U.S. states in which we have significant business operations. We are currently undergoing a New York State examination for fiscal 2007 – 2009. In addition, LEAF Ventures, LLC, an entity we consolidate, is currently undergoing an IRS examination for fiscal 2010. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2008 and are no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2005.
Net Loss (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
We record third-party interests in our earnings as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. Included in commercial finance are noncontrolling interests in LEAF for the period prior to its deconsolidation. The following table sets forth the net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (in thousands):
| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |

Commercial finance – RSO investment in LEAF preferred stock (1) | | $ | − | | | $ | (1,016 | ) | | $ | (571 | ) | | $ | (1,812 | ) |
Commercial finance – management restricted stock, net of tax of $0, $235, $130 and $778 (2) | | | − | | | | 540 | | | | 218 | | | | 1,616 | |

| | $ | (45 | ) | | $ | (503 | ) | | $ | (384 | ) | | $ | (161 | ) |
(1) | In the January 2011 formation of LEAF, RSO received 3,743 shares of LEAF Series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 4,800 shares of LEAF common stock at $0.01 per share. The warrants were recorded as a discount to the preferred stock and amortized over the five-year term of the warrants. As a result of the deconsolidation of LEAF, we will not record this noncontrolling interest in subsequent periods. |
(2) | Senior commercial finance executives held a 13.9% interest in LEAF Financial as of December 31, 2010, which in January 2011 was exchanged for a 21.98% interest in LEAF (10% on a fully diluted basis assuming the exercise of warrants outstanding for the purchase of LEAF common stock). As a result of the deconsolidation of LEAF, we no longer record this noncontrolling interest. |
(3) | A related party holds a 19.99% interest in a hotel property we own in Savannah, Georgia. |
Liquidity
As an asset management company, our liquidity needs consist principally of capital needed to make investments and to pay our operating expenses (principally wages and benefits and interest expense). 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 raise investor funds and to obtain debt financing. However, the availability of any such financing will depend on market conditions. We also may seek to obtain liquidity through the disposition discussed below, of non-strategic investments, including our legacy real estate portfolio.
At June 30, 2012, our liquidity was comprised of the following primary sources:
| ● | cash on hand of $19.7 million, inclusive of the proceeds from the sale of Apidos; |
| ● | the cash generated from the disposition of non-core assets; |
| ● | $10.5 million of availability under our two corporate credit facilities; and |
| ● | cash generated from operations. |
Our consolidated balance sheet liquidity has improved as of June 30, 2012 due principally to the disposition of non-core assets and the refinancing and repayment of our debt. We also completed the recapitalization of LEAF, including the $50.0 million growth equity investment by a third-party private investment firm. The resulting deconsolidation of LEAF eliminated $202.5 million of borrowings from our balance sheet.
In April 2012, in connection with the sale of our equity interests in Apidos, we received $25.0 million in cash before costs and expenses, as well as a 33% continuing interest in the newly-formed joint venture.
Disposition of Non-core Assets. Our legacy portfolio at June 30, 2012 consisted of one loan and five property interests. To the extent we are able to dispose of these assets, we will obtain additional liquidity. The amount of additional liquidity we obtain will vary significantly depending upon the asset being sold and then-current economic conditions. We cannot assure you that any dispositions will occur or as to the timing or amounts we may realize from any such dispositions.
Refinancing and paydown of our debt. In addition to the elimination of LEAF’s debt on deconsolidation, we repaid $8.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the TD Bank facility and redeemed $8.8 million of our Senior Notes. In November 2011, we extended the maturity of our TD facility from August 2012 to August 2013 and modified the remaining $10.0 million of our Senior Notes to reduce the interest rate to 9% and extend the maturity to October 2013. We also amended our Republic Bank facility to extend the maturity of that facility to December 1, 2013.
As of June 30, 2012, our total borrowings outstanding of $22.6 million included $10.0 million of Senior Notes, $10.6 million of mortgage debt secured by the underlying property and $2.0 million of other debt.
Capital Resources
Our capital needs consist principally of funds to make investments in the investment vehicles we sponsor or for our own account and to provide bridge financing or other temporary financial support to facilitate asset acquisitions by our sponsored investment vehicles. Accordingly, the amount of capital we require will depend to a significant extent upon our level of activity in making investments for our own account or in sponsoring investment vehicles, all of which is largely within our discretion.

LEAF Valuation Commitment. In accordance with the November 2011 recapitalization of LEAF, we along with RSO have jointly undertaken a contingent obligation with respect to the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LEAF Receivables Funding 3, LLC, or LRF3, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LEAF which owns equipment, equipment leases and notes. To the extent that the value of the equity on the balance sheet of LRF 3 is less than approximately $18.7 million (the value of the equity of LRF3 on the date it was contributed to LEAF by RSO), as of the final testing date within 90 days of December 31, 2013, we and RSO have agreed to be jointly and severally obligated to contribute cash to LEAF to make up the shortfall.
Limited Loan Guarantee. We and two of our commercial finance fund partnerships, Lease Equity Appreciation Fund I, L.P., or LEAF I, and Lease Equity Appreciation Fund II, L.P., or LEAF II, have provided a limited guarantee to a lender to the LEAF partnerships in exchange for a waiver of any existing defaulted loan covenants and certain future financial covenants. The loans mature at the earlier of (a) the maturity date (March 20, 2014 for the LEAF I loan and December 21, 2013 for the LEAF II loan), or (b) the date on which an event of default under the loan agreement occurs. The maximum guarantee provided by us is up to $7.3 million ($2.3 million for LEAF I and $5.0 million for LEAF II). If we were required to make any such payments under the guarantee in the future, we would have the option to either step in as the lender or otherwise make a capital contribution to the LEAF partnerships for the amount of the required guarantee payment. Under certain circumstances, the lender will also discount their loans by approximately $250,000 for LEAF I and $$347,500 for LEAF II. Management has determined that based on projected cash flows from the underlying lease and loan portfolios collateralizing the loans, there should be sufficient funds to repay the LEAF partnerships’ outstanding loan balances; and, accordingly, we have not recorded any future liability under the guarantee.
Broker-Dealer Capital Requirement. Resource Securities, Inc. (formerly Chadwick Securities, Inc.), our wholly-owned subsidiary, is a registered broker-dealer and serves as a dealer-manager for the sale of securities of direct participation investment programs, both public and private, sponsored by our subsidiaries who also serve as general partners and/or managers of these programs. Additionally, Resource Securities serves as an introducing agent for transactions involving sales of securities of financial services companies, REITs and insurance companies for us. As a broker-dealer, Resource Securities is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined in regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which was $100,000 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, Resource Securities’ net capital was $222,000 and $254,000, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $122,000 and $154,000, respectively.
Clawback Liability. Two of the Trapeza entities that have incentive distributions, also known as carried interests, are structured so that there is a “clawback” of previously paid incentive distributions to the extent that such distributions exceed the cumulative net profits of the entities, as defined in the respective partnership agreements. On November 1, 2009 and January 28, 2010, we, along with the co-manager of the general partner of those investment entities, repurchased substantially all the remaining limited partnership interests in these two partnerships, significantly reducing our potential clawback liability. The remaining clawback liability was $1.2 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011.
Legal Proceedings. In September 2011, First Community Bank, or First Community, filed a complaint against First Tennessee Bank and approximately thirty other defendants, consisting of investment banks, rating agencies, collateral managers, including TCM, and issuers of CDOs, including Trapeza CDO XIII, Ltd. and Trapeza CDO XIII, Inc. TCM and the Trapeza CDO issuers are collectively referred to as Trapeza. The complaint includes causes of action against TCM for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, violation of the Tennessee Securities Act of 1980 and unjust enrichment. First Community alleges, among other things, that it invested in certain CDOs, that the defendant rating agencies assigned inflated investment grade ratings to the CDOs, and that the defendant investment banks, collateral managers and issuers (including Trapeza), fraudulently and/or negligently made “materially false and misleading representations and omissions” that First Community relied on in investing in the CDOs, including both written representations in offering materials and unspecified oral representations. Specifically, with respect to Trapeza, First Community alleges that it purchased $20 million of notes in the D tranche of the Trapeza CDO XIII transaction from J.P. Morgan. The Court dismissed this matter in June 2012. First Community filed a Notice of Appeal in July 2012.
Real Estate Commitments. As a specialized asset manager, we sponsor investment funds in which we may make an equity investment along with outside investors. This equity investment is generally based on a percentage of funds raised and varies among investment programs. With respect to RRE Opportunity REIT, we are committed to invest 1% of the equity raised to a maximum amount of $2.5 million. This commitment has been reduced to $1.3 million as of June 30, 2012 for funds already invested to date.
In July 2011, we entered into an agreement with one of the tenant-in-common programs we sponsored and manage. This agreement requires us to fund up to $1.9 million, principally for capital improvements, for the underlying property over the next two years. As of June 30, 2012, we have advanced funds totaling $1.4 million.
The liabilities for the real estate commitments will be recorded in the future as the amounts become due and payable.
General Corporate Commitments. We are also a party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and other benefits, including severance payments under specified circumstances.
As of June 30, 2012, except for the clawback liability recorded for the two Trapeza entities, real estate commitments, and executive compensation, we do not believe it is probable that any payments will be required under any of our commitments and contingencies, and accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We make estimates of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, collectability of management fees, the valuation of stock-based compensation, and in determining whether a decrease in the fair value of an investment is an other-than-temporary impairment. The financial fund management segment makes assumptions in determining the fair value of our investments in securities available-for-sale and in estimating the liability, if any, for clawback provisions on certain of our partnership interests. We used assumptions, specifically inputs to the Black-Scholes pricing model and the discounted cash flow model, in computing the fair value of the Senior Notes and related warrants. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a detailed discussion on the application of policies critical to our business operations and other accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011, at Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to various market risks from changes in interest rates. Fluctuations in interest rates can impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. We manage this risk through regular operating and financing activities. We have not entered into any market sensitive instruments for trading purposes. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. The range of changes presented reflects our view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period and provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. Our analysis does not consider other possible effects that could impact our business.
The following analyzes the potential impact of a hypothetical change in interest rates as of June 30, 2012. Our analysis does not consider other possible effects that could impact our business.
At June 30, 2012, we have two secured revolving credit facilities for general business use. Weighted average borrowings on these facilities were $4.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 at an interest rate of 6.0% on outstanding borrowings. A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate on these facilities would change our annual interest expense by $30,000.
Our $10.0 million of 9% Senior Notes outstanding are at a fixed rate of interest and are, therefore, not subject to interest rate fluctuation.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
