Item 8.01         Other Event

On June 16, 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 16, 2006

Press Release
                          CAPITAL ALLIANCE INCOME TRUST
                     TO COMPLY WITH AMEX LISTING REQUIREMENT



SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - June 16, 2006 - Capital Alliance Income Trust
Ltd. ("CAIT") (AMEX:CAA-News) a residential mortgage REIT, has notified the
American Stock Exchange ("Exchange") that it intends to file Form 10-QSB for the
three months ending March 31, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on or before Tuesday June 20, 2006. The filing of Form 10-QSB for the three
months ended March 31, 2006, will satisfy the Exchange's continued listing
requirements.

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.
