QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On May 19, 2008, Resource America, Inc. filed Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) that included restated quarterly financial information for the periods ended December 31, 2006, March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, which was originally filed on February 11, 2008. The Company’s consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, including the applicable notes as presented in this report reflect that restatement.
For more detailed information about the restatement, please see Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 and as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Results” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this report.
In addition, management concluded that the Company had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to our effective monitoring of the Company’s investments in the Trapeza entities, that led to the restatement. As described in more detail in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the Company has identified the causes of this material weakness and have implemented measures designed to remedy them.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2008
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – MANAGEMENT’S OPINION REGARDING INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Resource America, Inc. (the "Company" or “RAI”) (Nasdaq: REXI) is a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to generate and administer investment opportunities for outside investors in the commercial finance, real estate and financial fund management sectors. As a specialized asset manager, the Company seeks to develop investment vehicles for outside investors for which the Company manages the assets acquired pursuant to long-term management and operating arrangements. The Company limits its investment vehicles to investment areas where it owns existing operating companies or has specific expertise.
The consolidated financial statements and the information and tables contained in the notes thereto as of June 30, 2008 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to present fairly 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 amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 (“fiscal 2007”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2008 (“fiscal 2008”).
NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2007
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended December 31, 2006, March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 have been restated because of errors found in the financial statements of five limited partnerships (the “Trapeza Partnerships”) in which the Company has an original investment of $8.4 million, owns 8% of the limited partner interests and owns 50% of the general partner. The overall impact of the adjustments was a cumulative reduction of net income by approximately $3.2 million, net of tax. The financial information of the Trapeza Partnerships is included in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.”
The Trapeza Partnerships were formed between July 2002 and December 2003 for the purpose of investing in the preference shares, or equity, of collateralized debt obligation issuers whose collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, are secured by approximately $1.4 billion (at fair value) of trust preferred securities of public and non-public banks and bank holding companies. In preparing the financial statements of the Trapeza Partnerships for the year ended December 31, 2007, the independent auditors for the Trapeza Partnerships concluded that certain additional valuation procedures should have been applied to the privately issued trust preferred securities held by the CDO issuers based on the nature of the collateral and an evaluation of credit and market spread trends and that the unconsolidated equity interests held by certain of the partnerships should have been valued in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The application of these procedures resulted in a non-cash, mark-to-market adjustment of a positive $1.4 million (the Company’s share) and a negative $4.6 million, net of tax (the Company’s share) on a cumulative basis through September 30, 2007 and for the three months ended December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company recognized the unrealized non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments impacting periods prior to September 30, 2004 as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 in the amount of $2.0 million, and thereafter recognized these adjustments in its consolidated statements of income on a quarterly basis.
The impact on net income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 was a reduction of net income by approximately $266,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and an increase in net income of approximately $327,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. Net income as reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.5 million and $14.3 million, respectively, whereas the restated amounts are approximately $4.2 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned except for certain financial fund management entities and LEAF Financial Corp. (“LEAF”) in which the senior executives of LEAF hold a 14.9% interest. Additionally, in March 2008, the Company sold a 19.99% interest in an indirect subsidiary that holds a hotel property in Savannah, Georgia, resulting in minority interest in that subsidiary.
The Company is the general and a limited partner in two Structured Finance Funds (the “SFF entities”). The limited partners do not have the substantive ability to remove the general partner without cause based on a simple majority vote. In accordance with EITF 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-05”), the Company, as the general partner, is presumed to control these entities, and therefore consolidates the limited partnerships. Investment securities available-for-sale contain the interests in unconsolidated CDOs owned by the Company and interests owned by the SFF entities that the Company controls and as a result, are consolidated in its financial statements. The Company's combined general and limited partner interests in the SFF entities of 15% and 36% and the interests owned by third parties are reflected as minority interest.
When the Company obtains an explicit or implicit interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and, if so, whether or not the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as revised (“FIN 46-R”). Generally, the Company consolidates VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or for non-VIEs which the Company controls. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the variable interest holder that absorbs the majority of the variability in the expected losses or the residual returns of the VIE. When determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers its aggregate explicit and implicit variable interests as a single variable interest. If the Company’s single variable interest absorbs the majority of the variability in the expected losses or the residual returns of the VIE, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company reconsiders its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE if certain events occur.
Through December 31, 2007 in certain CDO transactions sponsored by the Company, the Company provided credit support in the form of a first loss guarantee to the warehouse lender, typically an investment banking firm that provided the warehouse facility to a CDO issuer while the CDO issuer accumulated assets. If the warehouse lender disposed of the assets it held at a loss, the Company reimbursed the lender for its losses up to a specified amount. Generally, the first loss amount ranged from 3% to 6% of the total assets accumulated in the warehouse facility during the accumulation phase. The Company often was required to deposit an amount into an account held by the warehouse lender as assets were being accumulated. The Company reflected these amounts as restricted cash on its consolidated balance sheets. In these cases, the Company generally determined that the CDO issuer was a VIE, the first loss guarantee was a variable interest and that the Company was the primary beneficiary and required to consolidate the CDO issuer’s assets and liabilities, which generally consisted of leveraged and commercial loans and a warehouse facility.
When a sufficient amount of assets were accumulated, the CDO issuer repaid the warehouse facility by issuing various layers of CDO securities to investors in a private offering, the Company’s first loss guarantee was terminated and the Company no longer consolidated the CDO issuer. The Company generally serves as collateral asset manager of the CDO issuer and receives ongoing fees for this service until the termination of the CDO issuer.
In January 2008, the Company terminated the warehouse agreements for two CDO issuers it had sponsored, Apidos CDO VII and Resource Europe II. The underlying loans were sold in late January and early February 2008. Accordingly, the Company reclassified these loans and recorded a loss on the reclassification in the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The loss was included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets and liabilities of those CDO issuers, which were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30 and December 31, 2007 in accordance with FIN 46-R, are no longer consolidated as a result of the sale. The restricted cash securing the warehouse agreements was retained by the warehouse lender. The Company has no additional warehouse loss exposure under these facilities.

Principles of Consolidation − (Continued)
In December 2007, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding preference shares of Apidos CDO VI for $21.3 million. The equity interest is subordinated in right of payment to all other securities issued by Apidos CDO VI. The Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, has since consolidated Apidos CDO VI in accordance with FIN 46-R.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company accounts for its investments in financial fund management, real estate and commercial finance investment vehicles under the equity method of accounting since the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial decisions of these entities.
Financial Fund Management
As an owner of limited and general partner interests in the Trapeza entities, the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial decisions. The Company's combined general and limited partner interests in these entities range from 13% to 50%.
The Company has interests in five other company-sponsored partnerships. Four of these partnerships invest in regional banks and the other is organized as a hedge fund that the Company manages. The Company’s combined general and limited partner interests in these partnerships range from approximately 5% to 10%.
Real Estate
The Company has sponsored and manages six real estate limited partnerships, five limited liability companies and seven TIC property interests that invest in multi-family residential properties.
In May 2008, the Company created a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary which was a special purpose entity (“SPE”) for the purpose of acquiring distressed real estate loans with a partner. The entity was determined to be a VIE. While the Company owns 100% of the equity interests of the SPE, it does not consolidate it since the partner was determined to be the primary beneficiary as defined by FIN 46-R.
Commercial Finance
The Company has interests in three company-sponsored partnerships. The Company’s combined general and limited partner interests in these partnerships range from approximately 1% to 5%.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Loans held for investment are generally evaluated for impairment individually, but loans purchased on a pooled basis with relatively smaller balances and substantially similar characteristics may be evaluated collectively for impairment. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value. Fair value may be determined based on market price, if available; the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs; or the present value of estimated cash flows. Increases in the allowance for credit losses are recognized in the statements of operations as a provision for credit losses. When a loan, or a portion thereof, is considered uncollectible and pursuit of the collection is not warranted, then the Company will record a charge-off or write-down of the loan against the allowance for credit losses. The Company periodically evaluates its loan portfolio, and in particular, any loans that are not current with respect to scheduled payments of principal and interest. In reviewing its portfolio of loans held for investment and the observable secondary market prices, the Company determined that its reserves were understated and accordingly, recorded a provision for credit losses of $839,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses − (Continued)
For real estate loans included in investments in real estate in the consolidated balance sheets, the Company considers general and local economic conditions, neighborhood values, competitive overbuilding, casualty losses and other factors that may affect the value of loans and real estate. The value of loans and real estate may also be affected by factors such as the cost of compliance with regulations and liability under applicable environmental laws, changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Income from a property will be reduced if a significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if available space cannot be rented on favorable terms. In addition, the Company continually monitors collections and payments from its borrowers and maintains an allowance for estimated losses based upon its historical experience and its knowledge of specific borrower collection issues. The Company reduces its investments in real estate loans and real estate by an allowance for amounts that may become unrealizable in the future. Such allowance can be either specific to a particular loan or property or general to all loans and real estate.
An impaired real estate loan may remain on accrual status during the period in which the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan; however, the loan would be placed on non-accrual status at such time as either (1) management believes that scheduled debt service payments will not be met within the coming 12 months; (2) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; (3) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment; or (4) the net realizable value of the loan’s underlying collateral approximates the Company’s carrying value of such loan. While on non-accrual status, the Company recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received. The Company recorded no provision for credit losses on its portfolio of real estate loans for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses in commercial finance (including investments in leases, notes and future payment card receivables) based upon, among other factors, management’s experience of portfolio default rates, subsequent collectability and economic conditions and trends. The Company discontinues the recognition of revenue for leases and notes for which payments are more than 90 days past due. Management has determined that an allowance for credit losses was needed at June 30, 2008 and recorded a provision of $711,000 and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. In the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a provision of $113,000 and $158,000, respectively.
Generally, during the lease terms of existing operating leases, the Company will not recover all of the cost and related expenses of its rental equipment and, therefore, it is prepared to remarket the equipment in future years. The Company’s policy is to review, on a continual basis, the expected economic life of its rental equipment in order to determine the recoverability of its undepreciated cost. The Company writes down its rental equipment to its estimated net realizable value when it is probable that its carrying amount exceeds such value and the excess can be reasonably estimated; gains are only recognized upon actual sale of the rental equipment. There were no writedowns of equipment during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale, including its investments in CDOs, are carried at fair value. The fair value of these CDO investments is based primarily on internally generated expected cash flow models that require significant management judgment and estimation due to the lack of market activity and unobservable pricing inputs.
The Company’s interests in CDOs are accounted for in accordance with EITF 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” (“EITF 99-20”). In accordance with EITF 99-20, when adverse changes in estimated cash flows occur as a result of declining net spread, prepayments or credit loss experience, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. Accordingly, the security is written down to fair value, and the unrealized loss is transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss as a reduction of current earnings. The cost basis adjustment for other-than-temporary impairment is recoverable only upon the sale or maturity of the security.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Under the guidance in FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2010. All prior-period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement will be effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the GAAP hierarchy from the auditing standards. The Company does not expect its adoption of SFAS 162 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing a renewal or extension of assumptions used for purposes of determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”. FSP FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and GAAP standards. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 or for the Company in fiscal 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting FSP FAS 142-3.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133” (“SFAS 161”). This new standard requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and will be applicable to the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 161 may have on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment,” of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue to use the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. The Company will continue to use the “simplified” method until it has enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate of expected term in accordance with SAB 110.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141-R, “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141-R”). SFAS 141-R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (referred to as the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. It also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141-R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, that SFAS 141-R will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” (“SFAS 160”). This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide ‘Investment Companies’ and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies,” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Guide”). Additionally, it provides guidance as to whether a parent company or an equity method investor can apply the specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide (referred to as investment company accounting). In October 2007, the FASB issued FSP SOP 07-1-1, which indefinitely deferred the effective date of this SOP.
In May 2007, the FASB issued FSP FIN 46-R(7), “Application of FASB Interpretation 46-R to Investment Companies,” (“FSP FIN 46-R(7)”). FSP FIN 46-R(7) amends the scope of the exception to FIN 46-R to state that investments accounted for at fair value in accordance with investment company accounting are not subject to consolidation under FIN 46-R. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007 (for the Company, its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008). Certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries currently apply investment company accounting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any; the adoption of this interpretation will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of SFAS 115," (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Entities choosing the fair value option would be required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (for the Company, its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008). The Company is currently evaluating the expected effect, if any; SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 will apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard will also require additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (for the Company, its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008). In November 2007, the FASB announced that it would defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company is currently determining the effect, if any; the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 − EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the potential dilution from the exercise of securities, such as stock options, into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised as well as the dilutive effect of other award plans, including restricted stock and director units.
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 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Dilutive shares outstanding | | | 17,549 | | | | 19,210 | | | | 17,493 | | | | 19,215 | |
(1) | For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, all outstanding options and other equity awards were antidilutive due to the loss for the periods and, therefore, were excluded from the computation of Diluted EPS. As of June 30, 2008, there were 1,003,757 outstanding options at exercise prices that exceeded the average market price of the Company’s stock for the three months then ended. The exercise prices on those options were between $10.04 and $27.84 per share. As of June 30, 2007, options to purchase 57,500 shares were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would have been antidilutive. The exercise prices on those options ranged from $24.28 to $27.84 per share. |

NOTE 7 − LOANS
Loans Traded, Not Settled
The Company entered into a trade to sell a $2.0 million bank loan position prior to June 30, 2008 which had not settled at that date. The gross proceeds of this trade totaled $1.9 million and resulted in a realized loss of $59,000. The final proceeds from this trade were received in July 2008.
In connection with the substantial volatility and reduction in liquidity in global credit markets that commenced in July 2007, the Company decided to decrease its exposure to corporate bank loans, principally in Europe and to a lesser extent the United States. As a result, the Company entered into trades to sell certain bank loans prior to September 30, 2007, not all of which had settled at that date. The gross proceeds of these trades totaled $152.7 million. The final proceeds for these trades were received in January 2008.

Portfolio Acquisitions
Dolphin Capital Corp. On November 30, 2007, the Company and one of its investment partnerships acquired the net business assets of Dolphin Capital Corp., an equipment finance subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB. The total purchase price of $170.5 million included a $169.0 million portfolio of small ticket leases which was acquired directly by an investment partnership sponsored and managed by LEAF. The investment partnership financed this transaction with bank borrowings under an existing facility.
NetBank Business Finance. On November 7, 2007, the Company acquired a portfolio of over 10,000 equipment leases and loans to small businesses of NetBank Business Finance, a division of NetBank, from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which held it in receivership, at a discount for $412.5 million. Financing for this transaction was provided by borrowings under the Company’s existing warehouse credit facility and a new facility with Morgan Stanley Bank (“Morgan Stanley”) and Morgan Stanley Asset Funding Inc. On April 22, 2008, LEAF completed the transfer of its NetBank portfolio by the sale to LEAF Equipment Leasing Income Fund III, L.P. (“LEAF Fund III”) of its 51% membership interest in the special purpose entity that owns the portfolio. The sale was for $9.4 million, representing the net book value of the assets transferred. LEAF had previously transferred a 49% membership interest in this special purpose entity to LEAF Fund III on January 31, 2008 for its net book value of $6.8 million. This entity that owns the portfolio, which is wholly-owned by LEAF Fund III as a result of these sales, remains the borrower on the Morgan Stanley bridge financing. Accordingly, a total of $311.0 million of commercial finance assets were transferred by LEAF to LEAF Fund III together with $301.0 million of related debt financing (see Note 13).

Investment securities available-for-sale | | $ | 30,481 | | | $ | 51,777 | |
The Company held approximately 2.0 million shares of RCC common stock at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007. In addition, the Company has options to acquire 2,166 shares (at an average price per share of $15.00) and warrants to acquire an additional 100,088 shares (at $15.00 per share; expire in January 2009) of RCC common stock.
The Company held 118,290 shares of TBBK at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007. The Company’s supplemental employment retirement plan for the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, which is reflected in other assets, held an additional 123,719 shares of TBBK valued at $943,000 and $2.3 million at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively, as well as $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of other equity securities at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007.
Investments in CDO securities represent investments in the CDO issuers that the Company sponsored and manages. Investments in 18 CDOs at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 were held directly through the Company’s financial fund management entities and indirectly through the consolidation of two investment partnerships, the SFF entities, that the Company manages as the general partner. As of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the Company had fully impaired seven and four CDO investments, respectively. The Company will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income in these investments. Interests owned by third parties in the SFF entities, reflected as minority interest, totaled $2.7 million and $3.6 million as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. The investments held by the respective CDOs are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, which accordingly impact their fair value. Unrealized losses are generally caused by changes in interest rates on those securities.

Realized Losses
The global credit markets have been subject to substantial volatility and reduction in liquidity, principally as a result of conditions in the residential mortgage sector, particularly in the subprime sector. This volatility and reduction in liquidity has affected banks, thrifts and other financial institutions as well as direct and indirect real estate investments. In the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded charges of $7.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively, for the other–than-temporary impairment of certain of its investments in CDOs. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, the $7.0 million charge reflects impairments on two regional bank investments and one thrift investment. In addition to these impairments, the $1.1 million charge prior to the three months ended June 30, 2008 reflects impairments on investments in a real estate asset-backed security (“ABS”), a commercial mortgage-backed security (“CMBS”), as well as an impairment of an investment in a state bank and a subprime investor. There were no impairment charges during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Commercial finance - Secured revolving credit facilities
In July 2006, LEAF entered into a $150.0 million revolving warehouse credit facility with a group of banks led by National City Bank that expires on July 31, 2009. Interest is charged at one of two rates: (i) LIBOR plus 1.5%, or (ii) the prime rate. The underlying equipment being leased or financed collateralizes the borrowings. Weighted average borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $141.5 million and $68.4 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 5.4% and 7.4%, respectively. Weighted average borrowings for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $135.0 million and $82.8 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 5.9% and 7.5%, respectively.
In December 2006, LEAF assumed an unused $250.0 million line of credit with Morgan Stanley from Resource Capital Corp (“RCC”), a real estate investment trust managed by the Company. In May 2008, the Company paid a $500,000 amendment fee to modify the terms of this facility for the purpose of transferring the facility to a new investment entity that the Company will manage and consolidate. The facility is non-recourse to the Company and matures in October 2009. However, any outstanding borrowings as of that date will continue to amortize until fully repaid, at a higher rate of interest. The underlying equipment being leased or financed collateralizes the borrowings. Interest and principal payments are due monthly. Prior to June 1, 2008, interest was charged at one of two rates based on the utilization of the facility: (i) one-month LIBOR plus 60 basis points on borrowings up to $100.0 million and (ii) one-month LIBOR plus 75 basis points on borrowings in excess of $100.0 million. As of June 1, 2008, the interest rate is one-month LIBOR plus 1.15% on all the borrowings. The borrowing availability on the line may be increased at any time with the lender’s consent. If the lender agrees to increase the availability, the Company must pay a fee in an amount equal to 0.20% of the principal amount of the increase. The Company is also required to pay unused facility fees on the available balance of the line and is subject to a prepayment penalty if loans are repaid prior to maturity. Weighted average borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $128.3 million and $117.1 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 6.0%. Weighted average borrowings for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $128.3 million and $66.1 million, respectively, at effective interest rates of 5.9%.
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements and interest rate caps to mitigate the negative effect of fluctuations in LIBOR (see Note 15). The swap agreements terminate at various dates ranging from November 2011 to November 2020.
Commercial finance – Terminated bridge loans
In November 2007, LEAF obtained $368.1 million of bridge financing from Morgan Stanley to fund the NetBank acquisition. The financing agreement provided for two loans − a $333.4 million class A loan and a $34.7 million class B loan which were secured by the NetBank assets acquired. This facility and the $311.0 million of outstanding loans effectively were transferred to LEAF Fund III in April 2008. The interest rate on the class A loan was the adjusted eurodollar rate (defined as the 30 day LIBOR rate) plus 2.00%. The interest rate on the class B loan was the adjusted eurodollar rate plus 10.00%. Weighted average borrowings on these loans for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 were $72.7 million and $209.3 million, respectively, at an effective interest rate of 7.2%.
Financial Fund Management – CDO senior notes
In December 2007, the Company closed and acquired all of the equity interests in Apidos CDO VI, which issued $218.0 million of its senior notes at par. The investments held by Apidos CDO VI collateralize the debt and, as a result, are not available to the Company, its creditors or stockholders. The senior notes, which are non-recourse to the Company, consist of the following classes: (i) $181.5 million of class A-1 notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 0.64%; (ii) $6.0 million of class A-2 notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%; (iii) $13.0 million of class B notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%; (iv) $8.0 million of class C notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 4.00%; and (v) $9.5 million of class D notes bearing interest at LIBOR plus 6.75%. All of the notes issued mature on December 13, 2019, although the noteholders have the right to call the notes anytime after January 4, 2012, or in the case of a refinancing, anytime after January 4, 2011. The weighted average interest rate on the senior notes was 5.94% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008.

Other debt − Mortgage loans
As of June 30, 2008, a VIE consolidated by the Company in accordance with FIN 46-R is the obligor under an outstanding first mortgage secured by real estate with an outstanding balance totaling $1.3 million. The mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest at a fixed interest rate of 8.8% and matures in July 2014. The mortgage is not a legal obligation of the Company; however, it is senior to the VIE’s obligation to the Company. Mortgage payments are paid from the cash flows of the VIE.
In April 2008, the Company borrowed $9.9 million under two separate mortgages to purchase an apartment building in Portland, Maine. The apartment building is the collateral for both mortgages. The first mortgage, in the amount of $8.9 million, requires interest only payments at a fixed rate of 4.92% until its maturity in May 2015 but may be extended for an additional year at a variable rate of interest. The second mortgage of $1.0 million requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $6,225 a month at a fixed rate of 6.12%, and may also be extended for an additional year at a variable rate of interest. In July 2008, the Company sold the property and transferred the mortgages to one of its real estate investment partnerships.

NOTE 15 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s hedging strategy is to use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, designated as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company manages the credit risk of possible counterparty default in these derivative transactions by dealing exclusively with counterparties with investment grade ratings.
Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, the Company determines whether a high degree of initial effectiveness exists between the change in the value of the hedged item and the change in the value of the derivative from a movement in interest rates. High effectiveness means that the change in the value of the derivative will be effectively offset by the change in the value of the hedged asset or liability. The Company measures the effectiveness of each hedge throughout the hedge period. Any hedge ineffectiveness, as defined by GAAP, will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
At June 30, 2008, the notional amount of the interest rate swaps was $109.5 million. As of June 30, 2008, included in accumulated other comprehensive income were unrealized net losses of $4.3 million (net of tax of $1.9 million) on these interest rate swaps. The Company recognized no gain or loss during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 for hedge ineffectiveness. Assuming market rates remain constant with the rates at June 30, 2008, the Company estimates that approximately $2.0 million of the loss in accumulated other comprehensive income is projected to be recognized in earnings over the next 12 months. The $304.7 million notional amount of interest rate swaps on the Morgan Stanley bridge financing were transferred to LEAF Fund III in April 2008.
In the third quarter, the Company entered into interest rate caps on its debt facility with Morgan Stanley. The notional amount of interest rate caps at June 30, 2008 was $20.7 million. The agreements expire in May and June 2015.

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES − (Continued)
The tax rates used to determine deferred tax assets or liabilities are the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The future realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company continually evaluates its ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is required to be established unless management determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will ultimately realize the tax benefit associated with a deferred tax asset.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of SFAS 109,” which provides guidance on the measurement, recognition and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition and classification. FIN 48 prescribes that a tax position should only be recognized if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. A tax position that meets this threshold is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 is to be reported as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Effective October 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, which did not have an impact on its consolidated balance sheets on the date of adoption nor as of June 30, 2008. In addition, the Company does not anticipate significant adjustments to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
The Company is subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and by the taxing authorities in other states in which the Company has significant business operations, such as Pennsylvania and New York. The IRS is currently examining the Company's 2005 tax year. The Company anticipates that the 2005 examination will be concluded in the current fiscal year and has recorded a liability and corresponding deferred tax asset for what the Company believes to be the proposed examination adjustments based upon the results from its 2004 IRS examination. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2004 and is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2001.
The Company is also required under FIN 48 to disclose its accounting policy for classifying interest and penalties, the amount of interest and penalties charged to expense each period as well as the cumulative amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company will continue to classify any tax penalties as other operating expenses and any interest as interest expense.
NOTE 17 − STOCK−BASED COMPENSATION
Employee Stock Options
The Company’s employee stock plans allow for grants of the Company’s common stock in the form of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options, and stock appreciation rights. Under the 2005 employee stock plan, the Company may also grant restricted stock, stock units, performance shares, stock awards, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company granted 89,500 and 99,500 employee stock options, respectively. The Company granted 30,000 and 57,500 employee stock options, respectively, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007. There was no tax benefit recorded at the grant date since the options issued were ISOs and employees have typically held the stock received on exercise for the requisite holding period.
The calculation of the fair value of options granted was made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| | Nine Months Ended June 30, | |

On June 30, 2008, the Company and RCC entered into an amended and restated management agreement that must be in effect until March 31, 2009 and will automatically renew for one-year terms unless at least two-thirds of the independent directors or a majority of the outstanding common shares agree to not automatically renew. The amended and restated agreement revised the calculation of the Company’s incentive compensation so that it will equal (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar amount by which (A) RCC’s adjusted operating earnings (as defined in the agreement) of RCC (before incentive compensation but after the base management fee) for such quarter per Common Share (based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for such quarter) exceeds (B) an amount equal to (1) the weighted average of the price per share of RCC’s common shares in the initial offering by RCC and the prices per share of the common shares in any subsequent offerings of RCC, in each case at the time of issuance thereof, multiplied by (2) the greater of (a) 2.00% and (b) 0.50% plus one-fourth of the ten year treasury rate (as defined in the agreement) for such quarter, multiplied by (ii) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such quarter; provided, that the foregoing calculation of incentive compensation will be adjusted to exclude events pursuant to changes in GAAP or the application of GAAP, as well as non-recurring or unusual transactions or events, after discussion between the Company, RCC and its directors and the approval of the majority of RCC’s directors in the case of non-recurring or unusual transactions or events.
Transaction with Officer of Brandywine Construction Management, Inc. (“BCMI”) and BCMI. In March 2008, the Company sold a 19.99% interest in an indirect subsidiary that holds its hotel property in Savannah, Georgia to a limited liability company owned by Adam Kauffman for $1.0 million plus $130,000 in fees and recognized a gain of $612,000. Mr. Kauffman is the president of Brandywine Construction Management, Inc., (“BCMI”) the property manager for the hotel and several other legacy properties of the Company. The terms of the sale agreement provide for a purchase option by Mr. Kauffman to purchase up to the balance of the Company’s interest in the hotel for $50,000 per 1% interest purchased. The purchase option expires in July 2011, at which time Mr. Kauffman has a right of first offer to purchase the balance of the Company’s interest in the hotel.
In addition, the Company has accrued a $90,000 fee to BCMI in connection with the final resolution of a legacy asset.

NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Real estate carveouts
The Company obtains senior lien financing with respect to certain acquired properties, TIC investment programs and real estate loans on a non-recourse basis, with the lender’s remedies limited to the properties securing the senior lien financing. Although non-recourse in nature, these loans are subject to limited standard exceptions, which the Company has guaranteed (“carveouts”). These carveouts relate to a total of $625.9 million in financing and expire as the related indebtedness is paid down over the next ten years.
Financial fund management clawbacks
Two of the Trapeza entities have incentive distributions (carried interest) that are subject to a potential clawback to the extent that such distributions exceed cumulative net profits, as defined in the respective partnership agreements. As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s total potential clawback obligation was $7.5 million of which $4.3 million has been recorded as a liability in the consolidated financial statements.
Real estate capital improvements
The Company entered into a master lease agreement with one of the TIC programs it sponsored and manages. This agreement requires that the Company fund up to $1.0 million for capital improvements for the TIC property over the next 19 years. To date, the Company has funded approximately $200,000 of capital improvements.

General corporate commitments
As a specialized asset manager, the Company sponsors 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.
The Company is also party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and other benefits, including severance payments under specified circumstances.
The Company is party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or operations.
As of June 30, 2008, except for the clawback liability recorded for the Trapeza entities, the Company does not believe it is probable that any payments will be required under any of its indemnifications and, accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 22 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 31, 2008, we collected approximately $18.4 million in connection with the substantial settlement of a discounted loan, which was secured by the Evening Star Building (“ESA”) in Washington, D.C. As a result of this repayment, we anticipate recognizing a pre-tax gain in the quarter ending September 30, 2008 of approximately $7.5 million. Our remaining investment is a discounted mezzanine note with a carrying value of $3.6 million, which is secured by a 5% interest in the property. Previously, D. Cohen (see Note 18) owned a 15% partnership interest in ESA which secured the discounted note. Additionally, he had a right-of-first-offer and a right-of-first-refusal (“Rights”) on a sale of the property. On July 31, 2008, D. Cohen sold his interest to the 80% partner in ESA for $19.5 million. In connection with the repayment of the loan, D. Cohen was paid $625,000 to relinquish his Rights.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Results
On May 19, 2008, we filed Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, or the Amendment, that included restated quarterly financial information for the periods ended December 31, 2006, March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, which was originally filed on February 11, 2008. Our consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, including the applicable notes as presented in this report reflect that restatement.
For more detailed information about the restatement, please see Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 and as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Results” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this report.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations incorporates the restated amounts.
Overview of the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
We limit our services to asset classes in which we have specific expertise. We believe this strategy enhances the return on investment we can achieve. In our commercial finance operations, we focus on originating small and middle-ticket equipment leases and commercial notes secured by business-essential equipment, including technology, commercial and industrial equipment and medical equipment. In our real estate operations, we concentrate on investments in distressed real estate loans, the ownership, operation and management of multi-family and commercial real estate, and originating or purchasing real estate mortgage loans including whole loans, first priority interests in commercial mortgage loans (known as A notes) and, to a lesser extent, subordinated interests in first mortgage loans and mezzanine loans. 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. We have continued to develop our existing operations with the sponsorship of new investment funds and have expanded the distribution of our products through a large broker/dealer/financial planner network that we have developed.
During the later half of 2007 and continuing in 2008, credit markets in the United States and throughout much of the rest of the world have been extremely volatile and challenging. We believe that such credit market conditions have created opportunities for us, principally in our commercial finance and real estate businesses, as demonstrated by the acquisitions we have made since June 2007 totaling $990.1 million.
Due to the current status of global credit markets, we continue to believe that the collateralized debt obligation, or CDO, markets have slowed substantially in 2008, limiting our ability to generate additional assets under management through this channel. Our CDO vehicles have been significantly affected by these conditions and, in particular, have been impacted by continued credit market turbulence and reduction in global liquidity. Specifically, two secured warehouse credit facilities which we consolidated under FIN 46-R were impacted. Accordingly, we determined to end these facilities on their expiration dates in January 2008. We had provided limited guarantees totaling $18.8 million under these facilities which were supported by escrow deposits of $14.8 million. The expiration of these facilities necessitated the sale of the loans securing them in late January and early February 2008 which resulted in a reclassification and caused us to record a $11.2 million charge, net of tax, in the quarter ended December 31, 2007 which triggered our guarantee. As a result, our escrow deposits were retained by the warehouse lenders and we paid an additional $5.4 million to cover our guarantee through July 2008. As of June 30, 2008, we have no further commitments under these credit facilities.
In addition, the five Trapeza partnerships in which we made an original investment of $8.4 million, owns 8% of the limited partner interests and owns a 50% interest in the general partner, were adversely impacted by credit market turbulence and reduction in global liquidity which affected market spreads and impacted underlying issuers. This resulted in a reduction in revenues from limited and general partners’ interests of $8.9 million and $16.9 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The after-tax impact of these credit market conditions to increase the net loss by $5.1 million and $10.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008. We expect that the turbulence in the credit markets may continue to impact our future operating results.
Assets Under Management
We increased our assets under management by $2.0 billion to $18.8 billion at June 30, 2008 from $16.8 billion at June 30, 2007. The growth in our assets under management was the result of:
| · | an increase in the financial fund management assets we manage on behalf of individual and institutional investors, Resource Capital Corp, or RCC, and us, both in the United States and in Europe; |
| · | an increase in real estate assets managed on behalf of RCC, joint ventures and limited partnerships and Tenant in Common, or TIC, property interests that we sponsor; and |
| · | an increase in commercial finance assets managed on behalf of the limited partnerships we sponsor and RCC. |
The following table sets forth information relating to our assets under management by operating segment and their growth from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008 (in millions):
| | | | | | |

| | $ | 18,755 | | | $ | 16,777 | | | $ | 1,978 | | | | 12% | |
Our assets under management are primarily managed through various investment vehicles including CDOs, public and private limited partnerships, TIC property interests, a real estate investment trust, and other investment funds. The following table sets forth the number of entities we manage by operating segment:

Results of Operations: Commercial Finance
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, our commercial finance operations increased assets under management to $1.6 billion as compared to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $561.0 million (52%). Originations of new equipment financing for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 were $147.9 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, as compared to $396.9 million and $655.9 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, a decrease of $249.0 million (63%) and an increase of $391.0 million (60%), respectively. We have not yet commenced marketing LEAF Equipment Finance Fund 4, L.P. to investors. LEAF Fund III closed its offering in April 2008. Our growth for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was driven by our first quarter fiscal 2008 acquisitions of the net business assets of Dolphin Capital Corp and NetBank Business Finance, or NetBank, our continued growth in new and existing vendor programs, the introduction of new commercial finance products and the expansion of our sales staff. As of June 30, 2008, we managed approximately 96,000 leases and notes that had an average original finance value of $24,000 with an average term of 50 months.
In November 2007, we also acquired a $412.5 million portfolio, at a discount, comprised of over 10,000 leases and small business loans originated by NetBank Business Finance, the equipment leasing division of NetBank, which was being operated in receivership by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. In addition, we hired approximately 70 of the former NetBank employees in Columbia, South Carolina. These employees have further expanded our third party funding business unit which we established with our June 2007 acquisition of the leasing division of PCB. Financing for this acquisition was provided principally by Morgan Stanley Bank, or Morgan Stanley. We completed the sale of the NetBank portfolio to LEAF Fund III in April 2008. Until then, we carried the leases and loans and related debt on our consolidated balance sheets, thereby increasing our investment in commercial finance assets, borrowings, finance revenues, interest expense and provision for credit losses during that period of time.
On April 22, 2008, we completed the transfer of a portfolio of leases and notes which were acquired in the NetBank portfolio acquisition by the sale to LEAF Fund III of its remaining 51% membership interest in the special purpose entity that owns the portfolio. The sale was for $9.4 million, representing the net book value of the assets transferred. We had previously transferred a 49% membership interest in the special purpose entity to LEAF Fund III on January 31, 2008 for its net book value of $6.8 million. The special purpose entity which became a wholly-owned by LEAF Fund III as a result of these sales, remains the borrower on the Morgan Stanley bridge financing. As a result of these transactions, a total of $311.0 million of commercial finance assets were transferred by us to LEAF Fund III together with $301.0 million of related debt financing. We earned asset acquisition fees on these transfers of $3.4 million and $3.3 million in January and April 2008, respectively.
The November 2007 acquisition of Dolphin Capital Corp., an equipment finance subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Bank, significantly expanded our commercial finance operations origination capability and assets under management. The total purchase price of $170.5 million included a $169.0 million portfolio of small ticket leases acquired directly by LEAF Fund III. In addition, we retained Dolphin Capital Corp.’s team of 70 highly experienced personnel, including senior management, origination and operations. Originations from 2007 include the acquisition of $169.0 million of net assets from PCB.

The revenues from our commercial finance operations consist primarily of finance revenues from leases and notes held by us prior to being sold; asset acquisition fees which are earned when commercial finance assets are sold to one of our investment partnerships and asset management fees earned over the life of the lease or loan after it is sold. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the revenues recognized and costs and expenses incurred in our commercial finance operations (in thousands):

| | $ | 10,967 | | | $ | 5,416 | | | $ | 32,751 | | | $ | 13,607 | |
(1) | Total revenues include RCC servicing and originations fees of $321,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $254,000 and $919,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. |
Revenues - - Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007
Revenues increased $9.0 million (70%) and $54.0 million (190%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. We attribute these increases to the following:
| · | a $4.6 million (108%) and $29.4 million (267%) increase, respectively, in LEAF commercial finance revenues primarily as a result of the NetBank assets acquired and the growth in lease originations. In January and April 2008, we sold 49% and 51%, respectively, of the NetBank portfolio to LEAF Fund III. As a result of these sales, our finance revenues and interest expense will decrease significantly; however, we will earn ongoing fund asset management fees; |
| · | Merit Capital Advance, or Merit, provides small businesses through a credit card receipt advance program. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, Merit posted revenues of $1.2 million and $5.5 million. No revenues were recorded for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. |
| · | a $230,000 (5%) and $9.5 million (130%) increase, respectively, in asset acquisition fees resulting from the increase in leases sold. Sales of leases increased by $148.0 million (56%) to $409.9 million and $775.5 million (193%) to $1.2 billion for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, principally related to commercial assets sold to our investment entities as a result of the NetBank and Dolphin Capital Corp. portfolio acquisitions; |
| · | a $2.0 million (63%) and $5.4 million (62%) increase, respectively, in fund management fees resulting from the $561.0 million increase in assets under management; and |
| · | a $973,000 (325%) and a $4.3 million (279%) increase, respectively, in other income, primarily reflecting net gains on equipment finance dispositions, which typically vary widely from period to period, but increased as a result of holding the NetBank acquired lease portfolio on our books. |
Costs and Expenses − Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007
Costs and expenses from our commercial finance operations increased $5.6 million (102%) and $19.1 million (141%), respectively. We attribute this increase primarily to the following:
| · | an increase of $5.1 million (134%) and $14.4 million (146%) in wages and benefit costs, respectively. The number of full-time employees increased to 444 as of June 30, 2008 from 237 as of June 30, 2007 due to our recent acquisitions and to support our expanding operations; and |
| · | an increase of $419,000 (26%) and $4.8 million (128%) in operating expenses, respectively, as a result of our increase in origination capabilities, primarily due to our recent acquisitions. |
Results of Operations: Real Estate
In our real estate segment, we manage five classes of assets:
| · | commercial real estate debt, principally A notes, whole loans, mortgage participations, B notes, mezzanine debt and related commercial real estate securities; |
| · | real estate investment fund assets, primarily multifamily apartments; |
| · | a portfolio of real estate assets acquired through joint ventures with institutional investors; |
| · | real estate loans, owned assets and ventures, known collectively as our legacy portfolio; and |
| · | a portfolio of distressed real estate loans, acquired at a discount, primarily from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. |

Distressed portfolios (including HUD portfolio) | | | 71 | | | | − | |
| | $ | 1,750 | | | $ | 1,497 | |
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, our real estate operations continued to be affected by the following principal trends or events:
| · | the transition of property management from outsourced third party managers to our internal multi-family manager, Resource Residential, which commenced operations in October 2007; |
| · | the continuing volatility and reduction in liquidity in global credit markets have decreased transactions and financings which affect our commercial real estate debt platform; |
| · | an increased number of distressed real estate opportunities that are available for purchase; |
| · | continued growth in our real estate business through the sponsorship of real estate investment partnerships; |
| · | an agreement executed for a $500.0 million credit facility with an existing joint venture partner. The first asset under this facility was purchased on June 30, 2008; and |
| · | two value-added properties acquired with a new joint venture partner. |
We support our real estate investment partnerships by making long-term limited partnership investments. In addition, from time to time, we make bridge investments in the underlying partnerships and TIC property interests to facilitate acquisitions. We record losses on these equity method investments primarily as a result of depreciation and amortization expense recorded by the partnerships and TIC property interests. As additional investors are admitted to the partnerships and TIC programs, we transfer our bridge investment to new investors at our original cost and recognize a gain approximately equal to the previously recognized loss.
Gains on resolution of loans, FIN 46-R assets and other real estate assets (if any) and the amount of fees received (if any) vary from transaction to transaction. There have been in the past, and we expect that in the future there will be, significant period-to-period variations in our gains on resolution and fee income. Moreover, it is anticipated that gains on resolution will likely decrease in the future as we complete the resolution of our legacy portfolio.

Revenues – Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Revenues decreased $1.4 million (20%) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the prior year period. We attribute the decrease to the following:
| · | a $1.9 million decrease in fee income; during the three months ended June 30, 2008, we acquired two value added properties, with an aggregate purchase price of $29.5 million, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 during which we acquired four properties, with an aggregate purchase price of $80.4 million; |
| · | a $674,000 decrease in REIT management fees, primarily due to reduced RCC income; |
| · | a $1.4 million increase in rental property income due to the inclusion of rental income of one TIC asset as a result of having executed a master lease for a residential property and rental income from a bridge investment acquired in April 2008; |
| · | a $1.2 million increase in property management fees due to both an increase in the number of properties under management to 39 at June 30, 2008 from 30 at June 30, 2007, as well as the increase in fees related to properties now managed internally; |
| · | an $82,000 increase in interest income attributable to a higher payment rate on a note under a forbearance agreement and income on a new note related to the sale on March 31, 2008 of a 10% interest in a real estate venture; |
| · | a $280,000 decrease in gains and fees on resolution. We sold one asset during the three months ended June 30, 2007. No assets were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2008. |
| · | a $994,000 increase in our equity losses primarily related to losses incurred by one real estate venture; and |
| · | a $229,000 decrease in net gain on sales of TIC property interests. We did not hold any interests in TIC properties during the three months ended June 30, 2008. We sold our remaining interest in a $33.0 million TIC property during the three months ended June 30, 2007. |
Costs and Expenses – Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Costs and expenses of our real estate operations were $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $1.7 million (43%) as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to increased wages and benefits corresponding to our expanded real estate operations, principally our new property management subsidiary, Resource Residential. Total employees, which increased by 223 to 270 at June 30, 2008 from 47 at June 30, 2007, includes 205 employees who are paid directly by the properties managed by Resource Residential. The increase in rental property expenses reflects the additional operating expenses from the execution of a master lease for one of the TIC programs we manage.
Revenues - - Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007
Revenues increased $210,000 (1%) to $18.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the prior year period. We attribute the increase to the following:
| · | a $1.9 million decrease in fee income related to the purchase and third-party financing of property through the sponsorship of real estate investment partnerships and TIC property interests; during the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we acquired seven assets with an aggregate purchase price of $89.7 million, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007 during which we acquired nine assets, with an aggregate purchase price of $154.1 million. |
| · | a $1.1 million decrease in REIT management fees, due principally to lower RCC net income; |
| · | a $3.0 million increase in rental property income due to the inclusion of rental income of one TIC asset as a result of having executed a master lease for a residential property; |
| · | a $2.5 million increase in property management fees due to both an increase in the number of properties under management to 39 at June 30, 2008 from 30 at June 30, 2007, as well as the increase in fees related to properties now managed internally; |
| · | a $420,000 increase in interest income attributable to a higher payment rate on a note under a forbearance agreement, income on a new note related to the sale on March 31, 2008 of a 10% interest in a real estate venture and income on a note held temporarily to facilitate its acquisition by a related real estate investment fund; |
| · | a $1.4 million decrease in gains and fees on resolutions. In the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we received $1.0 million in net proceeds plus a $130,000 structuring fee from the sale of a 19.99% interest in a hotel property resulting in a gain of $612,000. We also received $1.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of a 10% interest in a real estate venture resulting in a gain of $891,000. For the nine months ended June 30, 2007 we received $2.9 million from the sale of a 15% interest in the same real estate venture, resulting in a gain of $2.7 million; |
| · | a $1.4 million increase in our equity losses primarily due to an increase in the loss from an office building in Washington, DC; and |
| · | a $58,000 increase in net gain on sales of TIC property interests. We sold our interests in a $50.0 million TIC property during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a $33.0 million TIC property during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. |
Costs and Expenses − Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007
Costs and expenses of our real estate operations were $16.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $6.3 million (62%) as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007. General and administrative expenses increased by $4.8 million primarily due to increased wages and benefits corresponding primarily to Resource Residential.

In our financial fund management segment, we earn 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 CDOs we sponsor. Certain of the management fees are senior and certain are subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs. These fees vary by CDO, with our annual fee ranging between 0.04% and 0.75% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral securities owned by the CDO issuers. |
| · | Administration fees − we receive fees for managing the assets held by partnerships sponsored by us and for managing their general operations. These fees vary by limited partnership, with our annual fee ranging between 0.75% and 2.00% of the partnership capital balance. |
We also receive distributions on our investments in the entities, some of which are subject to a clawback provision, we manage which vary depending on our investment and, with respect to particular limited partnerships, with the terms of our general partner interest. We discuss the basis for our fees and revenues for each area in more detail in the following sections.
Our financial fund management operations have depended upon our ability to sponsor CDO issuers and sell their CDOs. As a result of recent conditions in the global credit markets, our ability to sponsor CDOs in the future may be limited. As a consequence, while we expect that the existing CDO issuers we manage will continue to provide us with a stream of management fee revenues, we may be unable to increase those revenues during fiscal 2008 or they may decrease. For risks applicable to our financial fund management operations, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007; Item 1A “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Particular Aspects of our Financial Fund Management, Real Estate and Commercial Finance Operations.”
Trapeza
We have co-sponsored, structured and currently co-manage 13 CDO issuers holding approximately $5.0 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. We also have invested as a limited partner in each of these limited partnerships.
We derive revenues from our Trapeza operations through base and incentive management and administration fees. We also receive distributions on amounts we have invested in limited partnerships. Management fees, including incentive fees, vary by CDO issuer but have ranged from between 0.25% and 0.60% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuers of which a portion is subordinated. These fees are also shared with our co-sponsors. We are also entitled to incentive distributions in four of the partnerships we manage. We currently do not receive subordinated management fees on eight CDO issuers. We expect to receive subordinated management fees from seven of these issuers in the future.
Apidos
We sponsored, structured and currently manage 12 CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors, RCC and ourselves which hold approximately $3.9 billion in bank loans at June 30, 2008, of which $964.5 million are managed on behalf of RCC through three CDOs.
We derive revenues from our Apidos operations through base and incentive management fees ranging from 0.18% and 0.75% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuers, of which a portion is subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs. We also derive revenues from the interest spread earned on the assets of certain issuers that accumulated during the warehousing period prior to the execution of a CDO and Apidos CDO VI. Apidos CDO VI closed in December 2007 and we purchased 100% of the equity of this investment.
Ischus
We sponsored, structured and currently manage nine CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors and RCC which hold approximately $5.9 billion in primarily real estate ABS including RMBS, CMBS and credit default swaps, of which $377.1 million is managed on behalf of RCC.
We own a 50% interest in the general partner and manager of Structured Finance Fund, L.P. and Structured Finance Fund II, L.P., collectively referred to as the SFF partnerships. These partnerships own a portion of the equity interests of three Trapeza CDO issuers and Ischus CDO I. We also have invested as a limited partner in each of these limited partnerships.
We derive revenues from our Ischus operations through management and administration fees. We also receive distributions on amounts we invest in the limited partnerships. Management fees vary by CDO issuer, ranging from between 0.04% and 0.35% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuer of which a portion is subordinated to debt service payments on the CDOs. We no longer receive subordinated management fees on four CDO issuers.
Resource Europe
We sponsored, structured and currently manage one CDO issuer holding $458.9 million in European bank loans at June 30, 2008.
We derive revenues from our Resource Europe operations through base and incentive management fees of up to 0.60% of the aggregate principal balance of the collateral held by the CDO issuer, of which a portion is subordinated to debt service payments on the CDO.
Other Company-Sponsored Partnerships
We sponsored, structured and currently manage five affiliated partnerships for individual and institutional investors that invest in financial institutions. We derive revenues from these operations through an annual management fee, based on 2.0% of equity. We also have invested as the general partner of these partnerships and may receive a carried interest of up to 20% upon meeting specific investor return rates.
We have also sponsored, structured and currently manage another affiliated partnership organized as a hedge fund. We have invested as a limited partner in this partnership. In March 2008, we decided to liquidate this partnership, which we expect to dissolve during the last two quarters of fiscal 2008.

Fees and/or reimbursements that we receive vary by transaction and, accordingly, there may be significant variations in the revenues we recognize from our financial fund management operations from period to period.
Revenues - Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Revenues decreased $16.6 million (89%) to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. We attribute the decrease to the following:
| · | a $10.1 million decrease in limited and general partner interests, primarily from the following: |
| - | a $9.0 million decrease in mark-to-market adjustments, primarily as a result of the following: |
| - | a $6.2 million decrease as a result of the permanent impairment of two Trapeza partnership securities; |
| - | a $2.1 million decrease in net unrealized appreciation in the book value of the Trapeza partnership securities and swap agreements to reflect current market value; and |
| - | a $731,00 decrease in net unrealized appreciation in the book value of the other company-sponsored partnerships securities to reflect current market value. |
| - | a $1.1 million decrease in operations (non mark-to-market) primarily as a result of the following: |
| - | a $936,000 decrease from our limited and general partner share of the operating results of the unconsolidated Trapeza partnerships we have sponsored; and |
| - | a $134,000 decrease from our limited and general partner share of the operating results of the unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships. |
| · | a $1.0 million decrease in fund and RCC management fees, primarily from the following: |
| - | a $1.2 million decrease due to a discount recorded in connection with subordinate and incentive management fees we expect to receive in the future; and |
| - | a $106,000 decrease in RCC management fees and equity compensation, reflecting a $176,000 decrease in management fees and a $70,000 increase in equity compensation; |
These decreases were partially offset by:
| - | a $441,000 net increase in collateral management fees principally as a result of the following: |
| - | a $287,000 increase in collateral management fees resulting from the assumption of management of four bank loan CDOs from an unaffiliated third-party asset manager; and |
| - | a $154,000 increase in collateral management fees resulting from the completion of two new CDOs coupled with a full quarter of collateral management fees for three previously completed CDOs. |
| · | a $5.1 million decrease in interest income on loans held for investment, resulting primarily from the following: |
| - | a $5.1 million decrease from the consolidation in our financial statements of two Resource Europe CDO issuers during the three months ended June 30, 2007 while they accumulated assets through separate warehouse facilities. These facilities did not consolidate during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The weighted average loan balance of CDO issuers we consolidated through warehouse facilities for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $304.6 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.53%; |
| · | a $112,000 decrease in due diligence and introductory agent fees as a result of the following: |
| - | during the three months ended June 30, 2008, we received $1.8 million in introductory agent fees earned in connection with four trust preferred security transactions; and |
| - | during the three months ended June 30, 2007, we received $1.9 million in due diligence fees in connection with ten bank trust preferred and REIT trust preferred security transactions. We do not expect to earn similar due diligence fees in the future due to market conditions. |
| · | a $118,000 decrease in our earnings from unconsolidated CDOs as a result of a net decrease in earnings from investments in 15 previously sponsored CDO issuers. Through June 30, 2008, we have fully impaired seven CDO investments. We will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income on these investments. |
| · | an $83,000 decrease in our earnings from SFF partnerships related to a decrease in earnings from four CDO investments. Through June 30, 2008, we have fully impaired one CDO investment and we will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income on this investment. |
Costs and Expenses – Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations increased $1.2 million (20%) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. We attribute the increase to the following:
| · | a $1.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily from the following: |
| - | a $1.0 million decrease in reimbursed expenses from our Trapeza, Ischus and Apidos operations; the amount of reimbursed expenses is primarily dependent upon the terms of the transaction; |
| - | a $900,000 increase in compensation expense due to higher wages and benefits; |
| - | a $70,000 increase in financial software programs and publications as a result of the growth of our assets under management; |
| - | a $20,000 decrease in reimbursed RCC operating expenses, partially offset by |
| - | a $403,000 decrease in professional fees primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees related to our European operations; |
| · | a $370,000 decrease in equity compensation expense related to the award of RCC restricted stock and options to members of management. |
Revenues - Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007
Revenues decreased $25.4 million (53%) to $22.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 from $48.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. We attribute the decrease to the following:
| · | a $19.4 million decrease in limited and general partner interests, primarily from the following: |
| - | a $16.9 million decrease in mark-to-market adjustments, primarily as a result of the following; |
| - | a $9.6 million decrease in net unrealized appreciation in the book value of the Trapeza partnership securities and swap agreements to reflect current market value; |
| - | a $6.7 million decrease due to the permanent impairment of two Trapeza partnership securities; |
| - | a $479,000 decrease in net unrealized appreciation in the book value of the other company-sponsored partnerships securities to reflect current market value; and |
| - | a $76,000 decrease due to the loss on the sale of a Trapeza partnership security. |
| - | a $2.5 million decrease in operations (non mark-to-market) primarily as a result of the following: |
| - | a $2.1 million decrease from our limited and general partner share of the operating results of the unconsolidated Trapeza partnerships we have sponsored; and |
| - | a $417,000 decrease from our limited and general partner share of the operating results of the unconsolidated other company-sponsored partnerships. |
| · | a $636,000 decrease in fund and RCC management fees, primarily from the following: |
| - | a $2.0 million decrease in RCC management fees and equity compensation, reflecting a $552,000 decrease in management fees and a $1.5 million decrease in equity compensation; |
| - | a $1.7 million decrease in portfolio management fees received in connection with the formation of Trapeza CDO XI and Trapeza CDO XII during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. No such fee was received during the nine months ended June 30, 2008; and |
| - | a $1.2 million decrease due to a discount recorded in connection with subordinate and incentive management fees we expect to receive in the future. |
These decreases were partially offset by:
| - | a $4.0 million increase in collateral management fees resulting from the completion of two new CDOs coupled with a full nine months of collateral management fees for eight previously completed CDOs; and |
| - | a $287,000 increase in collateral management fees resulting from the assumption of management of four new bank loan CDOs from an unaffiliated third-party asset manager. |
| · | a $4.6 million decrease in interest income on loans held for investment, resulting primarily from the following: |
| - | a $7.9 million decrease from the consolidation in our financial statements of one Apidos CDO issuer and one Resource Europe CDO issuer during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to two Resource Europe CDO issuers and one Apidos CDO issuer during the nine months ended June 30, 2007 while they accumulated assets through separate warehouse facilities. The weighted average loan balances of CDO issuers we consolidated through warehouse facilities for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $65.9 million and $224.9 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 6.31% and 6.46%, respectively; offset in part by |
| - | a $3.3 million increase from the consolidation in our financial statements of Apidos CDO VI during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007 while it accumulated assets through a warehouse facility. In December 2007, we closed Apidos CDO VI, repaid all borrowings under the warehouse facility and purchased 100% of the subordinated notes. The weighted average loan balances of Apidos CDO VI for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $207.0 million and $123.0 million, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 6.67% and 7.65%, respectively. |
| · | a $150,000 decrease in due diligence and introductory agent fees as a result of the following; |
| - | during the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we received $1.8 million in introductory agent fees earned in connection with four trust preferred security transactions, |
| - | during the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we received $1.9 million in due diligence fees in connection with 11 bank trust preferred and REIT trust preferred security transactions. We do not expect to earn similar due diligence fees in the future due to market conditions. |
| · | a $311,000 increase in our earnings in unconsolidated CDOs as a result of a net increase in earnings from investments in 15 previously sponsored CDO issuers. Through June 30, 2008, we have fully impaired seven CDO investments. We will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income on these investments. |
| · | a $230,000 decrease in our earnings from SFF partnerships related to a decrease in earnings from four CDO investments. Through June 30, 2008, we have fully impaired one CDO investment. We will utilize the cost-recovery method to realize any future income on this investment. |
| · | a $727,000 decrease in other revenue primarily from the following: |
| - | a $582,000 decrease from the interest spread earned on loans and ABS assets accumulating on warehouse facilities with third parties based on the terms of warehousing agreements during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. No such spread was received during the nine months ended June 30, 2008; and |
| - | a $300,000 decrease from the gain on the sale of a security during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. No such gain occurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2008; partially offset by |
| - | a $134,000 net increase in interest income on cash accounts. |
Costs and Expenses − Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007
Costs and expenses of our financial fund management operations increased $4.1 million (26%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007. We attribute the increase to the following:
| · | a $5.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily from the following: |
| - | a $2.3 million decrease in reimbursed expenses from our Trapeza, Ischus and Apidos operations; the amount of reimbursed expenses is primarily dependent upon the terms of the transaction; |
| - | a $2.2 million increase in compensation expense due to higher wages and benefits; |
| - | a $573,000 increase in professional fees primarily due to an increase in consulting fees related to our European operations; |
| - | a $287,000 increase in financial software programs and publications as a result of the growth of our assets under management; and |
| - | a $151,000 decrease in reimbursed RCC operating expenses. |
| · | a $1.5 million decrease in equity compensation expense related to the award of RCC restricted stock and options to members of management. |
Results of Operations: Other Costs and Expenses and Other (Expense) Income
General and administrative costs were $4.0 million and $11.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, an increase of $541,000 (16%) and $2.2 million (25%) as compared to $3.4 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Wages and benefits, principally, compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted stock awards given to our employees increased by $532,000 and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. This increase was offset by decreases in various other administrative expenses, for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.
Provision for credit losses was $1.6 million and $5.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $113,000 and $158,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The increase in the provision for credit losses is a result of the following:
| · | in our commercial finance business, we held the NetBank portfolio of leases and notes for an extended period of time prior to completing the sale to LEAF Fund III in April 2008. In addition, we have accumulated and are holding a $144.6 million portfolio of leases and notes that is anticipated to be sold to a new entity that we will manage and consolidate. The increase in the amount of leases and notes we held on our balance sheet along with the growth in our originations for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007 as well as the economic downturn in the United States has increased the likelihood that credit problems could occur prior to completing the sale of those assets to one of our investment partnerships. Accordingly, we recorded a provision for credit losses in our commercial finance business of $711,000 and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively; and |
| · | in our financial fund management business, our evaluation of the creditworthiness of the portfolio of loans held by Apidos CDO VI included an analysis of observable secondary market prices and general market conditions, and as a result, concluded that a provision for credit losses of $839,000 and $1.3 million was needed for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. |
Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.3 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, an increase of $581,000 (80%) and $1.1 million (51%) as compared to $728,000 and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. This increase relates primarily to the addition of $4.7 million of leaseholds and equipment and $1.7 million of buildings over the past twelve months in conjunction with our growth in operations.
Interest expense was $9.8 million and $39.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, a decrease of $400,000 (4%) and an increase of $16.6 million (74%) as compared to $10.2 million and $22.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The following table reflects interest expenses (exclusive of intercompany interest charges) as reported by segment (in thousands):
| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |

| | $ | 9,776 | | | $ | 10,176 | | | $ | 39,048 | | | $ | 22,461 | |
The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 primarily reflects the increased borrowings by our commercial finance business and borrowings on our corporate lines of credit to support our expanded operations, offset by decreased borrowings in our financial fund management business. Facility utilization and interest rates for these operations were as follows:
| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Commercial finance | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Average borrowings (in millions) | | $ | 342.6 | | | $ | 191.5 | | | $ | 472.6 | | | $ | 150.9 | |
Average interest rates | | | 6.0% | | | | 6.5% | | | | 6.5% | | | | 6.8% | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Financial fund management | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Average borrowings (in millions) | | $ | 218.0 | | | $ | 470.6 | | | $ | 268.2 | | | $ | 339.8 | |
Average interest rates | | | 5.9% | | | | 5.2% | | | | 5.8% | | | | 5.1% | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Corporate − secured credit facilities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Average borrowings (in millions) | | $ | 63.1 | | | $ | 9.7 | | | $ | 57.6 | | | $ | 4.4 | |
Average interest rates (1) | | | 5.5% | | | | 10.6% | | | | 6.7% | | | | 12.3% | |
(1) | The three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 are higher due to the inclusion of the amortization of deferred finance cost, unused fees and higher interest rates relative to lower borrowings. |
Interest expense incurred by our commercial finance operations increased by $1.8 million and $15.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, due to an increase in average borrowings of $151.1 million and $321.7 million, respectively, in part, offset by a reduction of interest rates as a result of our use of interest rate swaps and caps to fix rates. LEAF’s growth in borrowings was driven by the recent acquisitions, continued growth in new and existing vendor programs and the introduction of new commercial finance products.
Interest expense incurred by our financial fund management operations decreased $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 due to the termination in January 2008 of outstanding warehouse facilities that were used to purchase loans held for investment. These facilities, and their associated loans, were held by CDO issuers that we consolidated while the assets were being accumulated. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings on these facilities. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $1.3 million primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings on the warehouse facilities, offset by the senior notes issued by Apidos CDO VI in December 2007.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the changes in minority interest income (expense), net of $3.6 million (364%) and $1.6 million (70%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, (in thousands):

(1) | Senior executives of LEAF hold a 14.9% interest in LEAF, reflecting the LEAF stock issued upon the conversion of a note in fiscal 2006 and the issuance of LEAF’s restricted stock in fiscal 2007 and 2006. The increase in minority interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 reflects the increase in LEAF’s income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interest. |
(2) | At June 30, 2008, we owned a 15% and 36% limited partner interest in SFF I and SFF II, respectively, which invest in the equity of certain of the CDO issuers we have formed. |
(3) | Certain warehouse providers were entitled to receive 10% to 15% of the interest spread earned on their respective warehouse facilities which held Apidos and Resource Europe bank loan assets during their accumulation stage. As of January 2008, all warehouse facilities have been terminated. |
(4) | In March 2008, we sold a 19.99% interest in an indirect subsidiary that holds a hotel property in Savannah, Georgia. |
(5) | In January 2008, LEAF sold a 49% participation interest in one of its subsidiaries that holds a portfolio of leases acquired from NetBank to LEAF Fund III. In April 2008, the remaining 51% was sold to LEAF Fund III. |
Other (expense) income, net was a net loss of $5.6 million and $22.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to other income, net, of $2.1 million and $6.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The reduction in other income is a result of the following:
| · | a gain of $346,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and a loss of $17.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, primarily on the settlement of the sale of secured bank loans in Europe and the United States in late January and early February 2008 as a result of the termination in January 2008 of two secured warehouse credit facilities consolidated under FIN 46-R, for which we had provided limited guarantees; |
| · | a $7.0 and $8.1 million charge for the other-than-temporary impairment of certain of our investments in CDOs during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, primarily those with investments in real estate ABS and CMBS, and trust preferred securities of two regional banks and one thrift bank. There were no other-than-temporary impairments in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007; and |
| · | an $864,000 and $3.0 million decrease in gains on sales of TBBK common stock during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, we sold 60,000 and 190,000 shares of TBBK common stock, respectively. There were no sales during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008. |
Our effective income tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operation, before taxes) was 42% and 39% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to a 42% and 38%, respectively, effective rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the rate primarily relates to the greater impact of permanent items due to lower pre-tax earnings for fiscal 2008 and the reversal of a $1.2 million valuation allowance in the nine months ended June 30, 2007.
We currently project our effective tax rate to be between 36% and 40% for the remainder of fiscal 2008. 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. Certain of these and other factors, including our history of pre-tax earnings, are taken into account in assessing our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our provision for taxes.
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, such as Pennsylvania and New York. The IRS is currently examining our 2005 tax year, which we anticipate will be concluded in the current fiscal year. We have recorded a liability and corresponding deferred tax asset for what we believe to be the proposed examination adjustments based upon the results of our 2004 IRS examination.
We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes−an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” or FIN 48, effective October 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained by the taxing authority. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet or statement of income (see Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further information).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General. Our major sources of liquidity have been from borrowings under our existing credit facilities and the resolution of our real estate legacy portfolio, and to a lesser extent, proceeds from the sale of our TBBK shares. We have employed these funds principally to expand our specialized asset management operations. We expect to fund our asset management businesses from a combination of borrowings under our existing credit facilities, cash generated by operations, and the continued resolution of our legacy portfolio.
The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash (in thousands):
| | Nine Months Ended | |
| | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | (restated) | |
Provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations | | $ | 54,202 | | | $ | (128,446 | ) |
Used in investing activities of continuing operations | | | (240,561 | ) | | | (41,742 | ) |
Provided by financing activities of continuing operations | | | 179,523 | | | | 151,407 | |
Provided by (used in) discontinued operations | | | 9 | | | | (1,672 | ) |
Decrease in cash | | $ | (6,827 | ) | | $ | (20,453 | ) |
We had $7.8 million in cash at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $6.8 million (47%) as compared to $14.6 million at September 30, 2007, primarily reflecting a pre-tax loss of $27.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to income of $25.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $54.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $182.6 million as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007, substantially as a result of the following:
| · | a $173.5 million decrease in our cash investments in commercial finance assets, reflecting the sale of notes and leases to the investment partnerships we sponsored and manage; and |
| · | a $30.7 million increase in cash provided from continuing operations, reflecting a $31.7 million decrease in net income as adjusted to exclude $62.4 million of increases in non-cash charges. The increase in these non-cash charges included a $31.2 million increase in losses on the sales of loans held for investment and impairment charges on secured bank loans, $4.8 million of increased credit loss reserves due to current market conditions and $26.4 million of increases in other charges; offset in part by |
| · | a $21.6 million increase in other operating assets and liabilities. |
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash used by our investing activities of continuing operations increased by $198.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007, primarily reflecting the following:
| · | a $197.8 million net increase in investments and other assets, principally reflecting the $210.8 million net increase in loans held for investment as a result of the consolidation of Apidos CDO VI in accordance with FIN 46-R. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by our financing activities of continuing operations increased by $28.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007, principally as a result of the following:
| · | a $48.2 million of funding was provided by our existing credit facilities, net of repayments, reflecting primarily the issuance and consolidation of the Apidos CDO VI senior notes; offset, in part by |
| · | a $20.8 million net increase in restricted cash and escrow deposits, principally monies withheld by our commercial finance credit facilities to repay our borrowings under those facilities. |
Capital Requirements
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.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments
The following tables summarize our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments at June 30, 2008 (in thousands):
Certain of the Company’s incentive distributions (carried interest) are subject to a potential clawback to the extent that such distributions exceed cumulative net profits, as defined in the respective partnership agreements. As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s total potential clawback obligation was $7.5 million of which $4.3 million has been recorded as a liability in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2008.

(1) | We obtained senior lien financing with respect to certain acquired properties, TIC investment programs and real estate loans on a non-recourse basis, with the lender’s remedies limited to the properties securing the senior lien financing. Although non-recourse in nature, these loans are subject to limited standard exceptions, which the Company has guaranteed (“carveouts”). These carveouts relate to a total of $625.9 million in financing and expire as the related indebtedness is paid down over the next ten years. |
(2) | All other credit facilities remained substantially unchanged from what was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2007. |
We entered into a master lease agreement with one of our TIC programs. This agreement requires that we fund up to $1.0 million for capital improvements over the next 19 years. As of June 30, 2008, we have funded approximately $200,000 of capital improvements.
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 and costs and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the provision for credit losses, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets, and certain accrued liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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/A for fiscal 2007, at Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position, or FSP, EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Under the guidance in FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for us in fiscal 2010. All prior-period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” or SFAS 162. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement will be effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC, approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the GAAP hierarchy from the auditing standards. We do not expect our adoption of SFAS 162 will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” or FSP FAS 142-3. FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing a renewal or extension assumptions used for purposes of determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” or SFAS 142. FSP FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and GAAP standards. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 or for us in fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting FSP FAS 142-3.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133,” or SFAS 161. This new standard requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and will be applicable to us in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. We are assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 161 may have on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, or SAB 110. SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment,” of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue to use the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. We will continue to use the “simplified” method until we have enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate of expected term in accordance with SAB 110.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141-R, “Business Combinations,” or SFAS 141-R. SFAS 141-R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (referred to as the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. It also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141-R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While we have not yet evaluated the impact, if any, that SFAS 141-R will have on our consolidated financial statements, we will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, issued Statement of Position, or SOP, 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide ‘Investment Companies’ and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies.” SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies, or the “Guide”. Additionally, it provides guidance as to whether a parent company or an equity method investor can apply the specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide (referred to as investment company accounting). In October 2007, the FASB issued SOP 07-1-1 indefinitely deferring the effective date of this SOP.
In May 2007, the FASB issued FSP FIN 46-R(7), “Application of FASB Interpretation 46-R to Investment Companies,” or FSP FIN 46-R(7). FSP FIN 46-R(7) amends the scope of the exception to FIN 46-R to state that investments accounted for at fair value in accordance with investment company accounting are not subject to consolidation under FIN 46-R. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007 (our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008). Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries currently apply investment company accounting. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of this interpretation will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of SFAS 115", or SFAS 159, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Entities choosing the fair value option would be required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the expected effect of SFAS 159 on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” or SFAS 157, which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 will apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard will also require additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2009. We are currently determining the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our financial statements.
Recent Developments
On July 31, 2008, we collected approximately $18.4 million in connection with the substantial settlement of a discounted loan, which was secured by the Evening Star Building (“ESA”) in Washington, D.C. As a result of this repayment, we anticipate recognizing a pre-tax gain in the quarter ending September 30, 2008 of approximately $7.5 million. Our remaining investment is a discounted mezzanine note with a carrying value of $3.6 million, which is secured by a 5% interest in the property. Previously, D. Cohen owned a 15% partnership interest in ESA which secured the discounted note. Additionally, he had a right-of-first-offer and a right-of-first-refusal (“Rights”) on a sale of the property. On July 31, 2008, D. Cohen sold his interest to the 80% partner in ESA for $19.5 million. In connection with the repayment of the loan, D. Cohen was paid $625,000 to relinquish his rights.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The following discussion is not meant to be a precise indicator of expected future losses, but rather an indicator of reasonable credit losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk-sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than trading.
General
We are exposed to various market risks, principally fluctuating interest rates. These risks can impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. We manage these risks through regular operating and financing activities.
The following analysis presents the effect on our earnings, cash flows and financial position as if hypothetical changes in market risk factors occurred at June 30, 2008. We analyze only the potential impacts of hypothetical assumptions. Our analysis does not consider other possible effects that could impact our business.
Commercial Finance
At June 30, 2008, we held $305.5 million in commercial finance assets, comprised of notes, leases and future payment card receivables at fixed rates of interest. We periodically sell these assets to the investment partnerships we sponsored and manage at our cost basis, typically within three months from the date acquired. Accordingly, our exposure to changes in market interest rates on these assets is minimized. Further, we, along with our investment partnerships, maintain swap and cap agreements to effectively fix the interest rates on the related debt, as discussed below.
We had weighted average borrowings of $128.3 million under a secured revolving credit facility with Morgan Stanley for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 at an effective interest rate of 5.9%. This facility is not subject to fluctuation in interest rates because we have entered into interest rate swaps and cap agreements which create a fixed rate on the entire balance.
In addition, we had weighted average borrowings of $209.3 million under a bridge loan with Morgan Stanley for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. In April, 2008, this facility, its related interest rate swaps along with $311.0 million of loans was effectively transferred to Leaf Fund III.
In addition, we had weighted average borrowings of $135.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 at an effective interest rate of 5.9% under a secured revolving credit facility with National City. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement for $75.0 million of the borrowings outstanding. Advances on this facility are required to be repaid within nine months, which further reduces our interest rate risk on this facility.
Real Estate
Portfolio Loans and Related Senior Liens. As of June 30, 2008, we believe that none of the three loans held in our portfolio that have senior liens are sensitive to changes in interest rates since:
| · | the loans are subject to forbearance or other agreements that require all of the operating cash flow from the properties underlying the loans, after debt service on senior lien interests, to be paid to us and therefore are not currently being paid based on the stated interest rates of the loans; |
| · | the senior lien interests ahead of our interests are at fixed rates and are not subject to interest rate fluctuation that would affect payments to us; and |
| · | each loan has significant accrued and unpaid interest and other charges outstanding to which cash flow from the underlying property would be applied even if cash flows were to exceed the interest due, as originally underwritten. |
Other Loans. A mortgage that we consolidate at June 30, 2008 as a result of FIN 46-R and two other notes are at fixed interest rates and, therefore, not subject to interest rate fluctuations.
Other
At June 30, 2008, we had two secured revolving credit facilities for general business use. Weighted average borrowings on these two facilities were $57.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 at an effective interest rate of 6.7%. A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate on these facilities would change our annual interest expense by $377,000.
Disclosure Controls
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 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, we concluded that there was a control deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting which constituted a material weakness. Due to this material weakness, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2008 to assure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit pursuant to the Exchange Act is properly disclosed. We discuss this material weakness and our remediation of such weakness in Item 9A of our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2007, which is incorporated herein by this reference, and included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Internal Financial Control
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, there were 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 except for the matters referred to, and incorporated by reference in the preceding paragraph of this report. We have reviewed the monitoring policies related to our asset valuation policy to require confirmation that the Trapeza Partnerships have properly considered and applied all market-based criteria and adopted EITF 99-20 for the unconsolidated equity interests we hold in two of the Trapeza Partnerships to which EITF 99-20 pertains.
