(“Resource Real Estate”), has raised $16.6 million from July 2008 through December 5, 2008. |

· | LEAF Fund Financing Activities. During November 2008, the Company through LEAF Equipment Leasing Income Fund III, L.P. (“Fund III”), an unconsolidated leasing partnership managed by LEAF, entered into two financing facilities totaling $355.0 million including: i) a $205.0 million credit facility led by Morgan Stanley Bank that was used to acquire the assets of NetBank Business Finance and ii) a five-year revolving $150.0 million credit facility that refinanced a maturing credit facility and will also fund future originations. |
· | Reduced Balance Sheet Exposure. The Company has reduced to $725,000, net of tax, its balance sheet exposure to future valuation adjustments related to investments in trust preferred securities reported as investments in unconsolidated entities and direct investments in collateralized debt obligations secured by trust preferred securities. The Company has no exposure to valuation adjustments for residential mortgage-backed securities. |
· | Reduction of General and Administrative Expenses. The Company instituted measures in fiscal 2008 to reduce its general and administrative expenses which it expects will result in savings of approximately $17.0 million on an annualized basis beginning in January 2009. Operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 were impacted by $1.8 million of severance expenses. |
· | Debt Reduction. As of September 30, 2008, the Company reduced its total consolidated borrowings outstanding to $554.1 million from $706.4 million at September 30, 2007, a decrease of 22%. At September 30, 2008, borrowings include $214.5 million of borrowings consolidated under FIN 46-R as to which there is no recourse to the Company, $272.7 million of non-recourse revolving credit facilities and promissory notes at LEAF and $66.9 million of other debt, which includes $13.7 million of mortgage debt secured by properties owned by the Company’s subsidiaries. |
· | Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted Operating Income. For the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Company reported adjusted revenues of $38.0 million and $179.4 million, respectively, as compared to $34.0 million and $129.7 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

Adjusted revenues and adjusted operating income, both non-GAAP measures, include $6.0 million and $23.5 million of pre-tax fair value adjustments on investments reported under the equity method of accounting for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $2.3 million and $2.9 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, respectively. A reconciliation of the Company’s reported GAAP revenue and operating (loss) income to adjusted revenue and operating income is included as Schedule II to this release. |
· | Year Over Year Increase in Assets Under Management. The Company’s assets under management were $18.0 billion at September 30, 2008, a $1.3 billion increase (8%) from September 30, 2007 and a $782.0 million decrease (4%) from June 30, 2008. |
Jonathan Cohen, President and CEO of the Company, commented, “Our results reflect the unprecedented challenges in the worldwide financial system. These have been difficult months, but we are pleased to have been able to: reduce our general and administrative costs and our balance sheet exposure; continue to raise funds through our retail channel and increase our assets under management; and to obtain financing for our leasing partnerships where lenders have provided our limited partnerships with new and extended non-recourse facilities of approximately $350.0 million in just the last month. We believe that we have positioned the Company for profitability from continuing operations. We believe that the success of our approach will become evident in calendar 2009 when our cost structure will be much leaner, our new fundraising should add to our profitability and our new distressed funds obtain economies of scale. Our fundraising ability through our retail channel and our formidable platform will set the stage for great things in the future. LEAF, our commercial finance asset manager, is already the third largest non-bank leasing company in the United States and it continues to raise capital and sign new financings. We are hopeful that when the smoke clears we will find ourselves with the preeminent commercial finance platform.”

This press release contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the exclusion of certain adjustments recorded in the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. Management believes the presentation of these financial measures excluding the impact of certain items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of the Company. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

(1) | During the three months and year ended September 30, 2008, in connection with substantial volatility and reduction in liquidity in the global credit markets, the Company recorded several significant adjustments. For comparability purposes, the Company is presenting adjusted income from continuing operations because it facilitates the evaluation of the Company without the effect of these adjustments. Adjusted income from continuing operations should not be considered as an alternative to (loss) income from continuing operations (computed in accordance with GAAP). Instead, adjusted income from continuing operations should be reviewed in connection with (loss) income from continuing operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, to help analyze how the Company’s business is performing. |
(2) | Includes 971,000 and 1.0 million dilutive shares not used in the calculation of loss from continuing operations per share-diluted for the three months and year ended September 30, 2008, respectively, and 1.3 million dilutive shares for the three months ended September 30, 2007. |
