For a reconciliation of adjusted net income to GAAP net income, see Schedule I to this press release.

Jonathan Cohen, CEO and President of Resource Capital Corp., commented, "I believe that this quarter saw the continuation of improving credit, good cash flow, new investments and an excellent pipeline of new opportunities. We are still focused on reducing the risk profile of our portfolio by selling legacy subordinate loans, originating newer higher yielding replacements, building the leasing joint venture, and buying distressed and opportunistic real estate equity investments. We look forward to continuing to grow our net interest income aggressively over the remaining six months."







Commercial Real Estate

RSO received repayments on CRE loans of $19.4 million and sold five CRE loans for proceeds of $56.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

RSO's CRE loan portfolio is now comprised of approximately 80% senior whole loans as of June 30, 2011, as compared to 63% a year ago (or at the height of the crisis).

RSO originated $63.9 million of whole loans in the three months ended June 30, 2011 with a weighted average yield of 7.8% up substantially from $19.8 million with a weighted average yield of 6.5% originated during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

RSO has already committed over $47 million to new CRE whole loans slated to close in the third calendar quarter of 2011 from an on-going pipeline of new CRE loans of over $200.0 million.

RSO increased its opportunistic and distressed real estate investments with the acquisition of one real estate asset in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and has acquired a second investment for $18.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2011. These acquisitions coupled with the conversion to equity of two commercial real estate loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 demonstrate RSO's commitment to opportunistic real estate acquisitions.

The following table summarizes RSO's CRE loan activities and fundings of previous commitments, at par, for the three, six and 12 months ended June 30, 2011 (in millions, except percentages):





CMBS Securities

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, RSO acquired $42.5 million par value of CMBS at a weighted average price of 100.2%. The majority of these purchases were financed by RSO's new Wells Fargo facility and are highly-rated bonds.

Commercial Finance - Syndicated Bank Loans

RSO's bank loan portfolio, including asset-backed securities ("ABS") held-to-maturity and certain loans held for sale, at the end of the second quarter was $907.1 million, at amortized cost, with a weighted-average spread of one-month and three-month LIBOR plus 3.02%. RSO's bank loan portfolio is predominately match-funded through three collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") issuances with a weighted-average cost of three-month LIBOR plus 0.47% (0.78% at June 30, 2011).

During the three and six months June 30, 2011, RSO bought bank loans through its three CLOs with a par value of $126.5 million at modest net discount of $1.1 million. These purchased loans had an aggregate weighted average annual yield of approximately 4.26%.

RSO, through its subsidiary Resource Capital Asset Management, earned $3.9 million of net fees from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2011.



As of June 30, 2011, RSO's book value per common share was $5.84, a decrease from $5.99 per common share at December 31, 2010. Total stockholders' equity was $433.4 million as of June 30, 2011 as compared to $348.3 million as of December 31, 2010.

In connection with RSO's ownership of certain notes held by RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1, respectively, on June 21, 2011, the Company surrendered for cancellation $32.4 million and $30.9 million, respectively, of CDO notes which previously eliminated in consolidation. The surrendered notes were cancelled by the trustee under the applicable indentures, and the obligations due under the surrendered notes were deemed extinguished. The effect of these cancellations improves each CDO's ability to comply with its over-collateralization and interest coverage tests and strengthens RSO's long term interest in these structured vehicles.
