                     CAPITAL ALLIANCE INCOME TRUST PROVIDES
                      SECOND QUARTER 2007 EARNINGS GUIDANCE

SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - August 3, 2007 - This afternoon, Capital
Alliance Income Trust Ltd. ("CAIT) (AMEX:CAA-News) a specialty lender organized
as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), released a shareholder letter from
its President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Wrensen, on the effects of
the increase in residential mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures on its
forecasted second quarter profitability and other corporate developments. A
transcript of the shareholder letter follows:

Current Developments and Industry Trends

The tumultuous decline of alternative/non-conforming residential mortgage values
that began in late 2006 has continued into the second quarter of 2007 and has
not shown any indication of improvement. Elevated levels of residential mortgage
delinquencies, which were initially identified as an alternative/non-conforming
residential mortgage event, have grown to encompass the entire domestic
residential mortgage sector.

During the second quarter, California residential mortgage delinquencies rose to
their highest level in over decade as lower sales prices, fewer home sales and
higher mortgage rates battered the housing market. Default notices are the first
step in foreclosing on a mortgage loan. Dataquest, a leader in residential real
estate information services, reports that the percentage of delinquency defaults
that result in foreclosure is approaching 50% and exceeds 1994's previous record
high rate of approximately 30%.


Short Term Financial Performance

The portfolio continues to generate unacceptable levels of non-performing assets
(delinquency), which reduce mortgage interest income. Declining home values also
require additional loan loss reserves (expenses). Cumulatively, these effects
produced a second quarter loss of approximately $130,000.

Management continues to focus on efficient asset management as the strategic
alternative to the sale of non-performing loan at depressed valuations. Loans
that were repaid during the second quarter reduced line of credit borrowings.
Acquisitions of performing residential loan portfolios were also reviewed, but
were not acquired. Our underwriting, designed to balance risk and reward, did
not justify the portfolios' sales prices. CAIT will continue to address the
acquisition of whole loans and mortgage securities for opportunistic purchase.

As of January 1, 2007, CAIT had foreclosed real estate owned ("REO") of $245,000
and approximately 33% of the mortgage loan portfolio were non-performing assets
(as measured by mortgage payments delinquencies in excess of 60 days). Due to
the partial financing of the mortgage loan portfolio with debt, REO and
non-performing mortgage loans were approximately 55% of total shareholder equity
and approximately 104% of common shareholder equity.

As of April 1, 2007, CAIT has REO for sale of approximately $2,011,644 and
approximately 29% of the mortgage loan portfolio were non-performing assets. REO
and non-performing mortgage loans declined to approximately 53% of total
shareholder equity and approximately 101% of common shareholder equity.

As of July 1, 2007, CAIT has REO for sale of approximately $1,849,221 and
approximately 31% of the mortgage loan portfolio were non-performing assets. REO
and non-performing mortgage loans remained approximately 53% of total
shareholder equity and approximately 102% of common shareholder equity.

An improved common share price is a previously announced standard that will be
regularly reviewed. Despite recent, steep residential mortgage share price
declines in other publicly traded mortgage companies, CAIT's common share price
has remained relatively constant. On the last trading day of 2007, CAIT's common
closed at $8.28 per share. As of August 1, 2007, the last common share
transaction was $7.92.


Organizational Changes

During the second quarter CAIT's management secured loan servicing from its
former manager and terminated the sub-server engaged by the former manager. Loan
servicing is now administered by CAIT's internal management. CAIT's
administration of loan servicing should reduce the overall cost of servicing and
is consistent with our emphasis on efficient asset management.

The December 29, 2006 Transition Agreement with CAIT's former manager requires
CAIT to drop the name "Capital Alliance" before July 1, 2008 and to change its
taxable subsidiary's name before May 1, 2007. The subsidiary's new name is
WrenCap Funding Corporation ("WCFC").


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.
