Item 8.01         Other Event

On June 7, 2006, Capital Alliance Income Trust, Ltd. announced notice of
non-compliance with the American Stock Exchange listing requirement. A copy of
the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Exhibit 99.1      Press release dated June 7, 2006

Press Release
               CAPITAL ALLIANCE INCOME TRUST LTD. RECEIVES NOTICE
                OF NONCOMPLIANCE WITH AN AMEX LISTING REQUIREMENT


SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - June 7, 2006 - Capital Alliance Income Trust
Ltd. ("CAIT") (AMEX:CAA-News) a residential mortgage REIT, has received notice
from the American Stock Exchange ("Exchange") of noncompliance with the
Exchange's continued listing standards due to CAIT's delay in filing Form 10-QSB
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the three months ending March
31, 2006.

Richard Wrensen, CAIT's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
explained that the additional time required to reclassify and report CAIT's
taxable subsidiary, Capital Alliance Funding Corporation ("CAFC"), as an asset
held for disposal at year end December 31, 2005 had delayed the filing of CAIT's
Form 10-KSB and has caused the late filing of 2006's first quarter Form 10-QSB.

The Exchange has granted an extension until June 16, 2006 to file Form 10-QSB.
At this time CAIT's management expects Form 10-QSB to be filed on or before June
16, 2006.

CAIT is a specialty residential lender, which invests in conforming and high
yielding, non-conforming residential mortgage loans on one-to-four unit
residential properties located primarily in California. Only residential loans
with a combined loan-to-value of 75% or less are originated for CAIT's mortgage
investment portfolio. Due to the disposal of CAFC, unsold mortgages with a
loan-to-value greater than 75% may be transferred to CAIT.

This document contains "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that inherently involve risks
and uncertainties. CAIT's actual results, operations and liquidity may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of
changes in the level and composition of CAIT's investments and unseen factors.
As discussed in CAIT's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
these factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic
conditions, the availability of suitable investments, fluctuations in and market
expectations of fluctuations in interest rates and levels of mortgage payments,
deterioration in credit quality and ratings, the effectiveness of risk
management strategies, the impact of leverage, the liquidity of secondary
markets and credit markets, increases in costs and other general competitive
factors.
