Item 3.01     Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule
              or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On January 9, 2007, Capital Alliance Income Trust, Ltd. ("CAIT") received a
notice of noncompliance from the American Stock Exchange for not having enough
independent directors on its Board. The notice was dated January 5, 2007 and the
listing requirement cited was Section 121(B)(2)(c) which requires the Small
Business Issuers maintain a Board of Directors of at least 50% independent
directors. The action that will bring CAIT into compliance with the Exchange's
requirements is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Attached as Exhibit 99.2 is CAIT's
press release dated January 12, 2007, listing its noncompliance.

The registrant is aware of material noncompliance with the requirement of
Section 121(B)(2)(c) regarding the composition of the Board of Directors for
Small Business Issuers. The American Stock Exchange requires the Board of
Directors be comprised of at least at least 50% independent directors pursuant
to Section 121(B)(2)(c) of the Amex Company Guide.

The registrant has until April 5, 2007, to cure the registrant's
noncompliance and expects to announce the appointment of an independent director
prior to that deadline. This will bring the registrant into compliance with the
Exchange.
