NOTE 2 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company.
All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Investment Securities
The Company classifies its investment portfolio as trading or available-for-sale.  The Company, from time to time, may sell any of its investments due to changes in market conditions or in accordance with its investment strategy.
The Company’s investment securities, trading and investment securities, available-for-sale are reported at fair value.  To determine fair value, the Company uses an independent third-party valuation firm utilizing data available in the market as well as market participant assumptions with regard to other data such as prepayment, default, and recovery rates.  These valuations are validated utilizing dealer quotes or bids. If the difference between the value indicated by the third-party valuation firm and the dealer quote or bid is over a pre-determined threshold, the Company will evaluate the difference which could result in an updated valuation from the third-party or a revised dealer quote. Based on a prioritization of inputs used in valuation of each position, the Company categorizes these investments as either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Any changes in fair value to the Company's investment securities, trading are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income as net realized and unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities, trading. Any changes in fair value to the Company's investment securities available-for-sale are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity.
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary impairment.  An available-for-sale investment is impaired when its fair value has declined below its amortized cost basis.  An impairment is considered other-than-temporary when the amortized cost basis of the investment or some portion thereof will not be recovered.  In addition, the Company’s intent to sell as well as the likelihood that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis is considered.  Where credit quality is believed to be the cause of the other-than-temporary impairment, that component of the impairment is recognized as an impairment loss in the consolidated statements of income.  Where other market components are believed to be the cause of the impairment, that component of the impairment is recognized as other comprehensive loss.
The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying properties in order to analyze current and projected security performance.  Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company’s income approach when determining other-than temporary impairment and, when inputs are subjected to testing for economic changes within possible ranges, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal and interest indicating no impairment.
The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a subjective process, and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization. The Company reviews its portfolios and makes other-than-temporary impairment determinations at least quarterly. The Company considers the following factors when determining if there is an other-than-temporary impairment on a security:     
the length of time the market value has been less than amortized cost;
the severity of the impairment;
the expected loss of the security as generated by a third-party valuation model;
original and current credit ratings from the rating agencies;
underlying credit fundamentals of the collateral backing the securities;
whether, based upon the Company’s intent, it is more likely than not that the Company will sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis; and
third-party support for default, for recovery, prepayment speed and reinvestment price assumptions.

JUNE 30, 2014

Investment security transactions are recorded on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses on investment securities are determined on the specific identification method.
Investment Interest Income Recognition
Interest income on the Company’s mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities is accrued using the effective yield method based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal amount of the underlying mortgages or other assets.  Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the securities also using the effective yield method, adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments.  For an investment purchased at par, the effective yield is the contractual interest rate on the investment.  If the investment is purchased at a discount or at a premium, the effective yield is computed based on the contractual interest rate increased for the accretion of a purchase discount or decreased for the amortization of a purchase premium.  The effective yield method requires the Company to make estimates of future prepayment rates for its investments that can be contractually prepaid before their contractual maturity date so that the purchase discount can be accreted, or the purchase premium can be amortized, over the estimated remaining life of the investment.  The prepayment estimates that the Company uses directly impact the estimated remaining lives of its investments.  Actual prepayment estimates are reviewed as of each quarter end or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any material information that would lead it to believe that an adjustment is necessary.  If prepayment estimates are incorrect, the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts may have to be adjusted, which would have an impact on future income.
Allowance for Loan Loss
The Company maintains an allowance for loan loss.  For the Company's bank and CRE loan portfolios, loans held for investment are first individually evaluated for impairment to determine whether a specific reserve is required.  Loans that are not determined to be impaired individually are then evaluated for impairment as a homogeneous pool of loans with substantially similar characteristics so that a general reserve can be established, if needed.  The reviews are performed at least quarterly.
The Company considers a loan to be impaired if one of two conditions exists.  The first condition is if, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The second condition is if the loan is deemed to be a troubled-debt restructuring (“TDR”) where a concession has been given to a borrower in financial difficulty.  These TDRs may not have an associated specific loan loss allowance if the principal and interest amount is considered recoverable based on current market conditions, expected collateral performance and/or guarantees made by the borrowers.
When a loan is impaired under either of these two conditions, the allowance for loan losses is increased by the amount of the excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan over its fair value.  Fair value may be determined based on the present value of estimated cash flows; on market price, if available; or on the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs.  When a loan, or a portion thereof, is considered uncollectible and pursuit of collection is not warranted, the Company will record a charge-off or write-down of the loan against the allowance for loan losses.
An impaired loan may remain on accrual status during the period in which the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan; however, the loan would be placed on non-accrual status at such time as (i) management believes that scheduled debt service payments will not be met within the coming 12 months; (ii) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; (iii) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the impairment; or (iv) the net realizable value of the loan’s underlying collateral approximates the Company’s carrying value for such loan.  While on non-accrual status, the Company recognizes interest income only when an actual payment is received. When a loan is placed on non-accrual, previously accrued interest is reversed from interest income.
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impaired loans are initially written down to fair value. They are re-measured on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value is determined using unobservable inputs including estimates of selling costs (Level 3).

For the Company's residential mortgage loans, the allowance is based upon management's review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of general components. For loans that are identified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. A general component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The general component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are carried net of accumulated depreciation.  Costs directly related to the acquisition are expensed as incurred.  Ordinary repairs and maintenance which are not reimbursed by the tenants are expensed as incurred.  Costs related to the improvement of the real property are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives.
Acquisitions of real estate assets and any related intangible assets are recorded initially at fair value under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, “Business Combinations”.  The Company allocates the purchase price of its investments in real estate to land, building, site improvements, the value of in-place leases and the value of above or below market leases. The value allocated to above or below market leases is amortized over the remaining lease term as an adjustment to rental income. The Company amortizes the value allocated to in-place leases over the weighted average remaining lease term to depreciation and amortization expense.  The Company depreciates real property using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Category
Term
Building
25 – 40 years
Site improvements
Lesser of the remaining life of building or useful lives
Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.  The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition.  If impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the fair value of the asset.
There were no impairment charges recorded with respect to the Company’s investments in real estate or intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 .
Recent Accounting Standards
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting and requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement for repurchase arrangements. This amendment also requires additional disclosure for certain transactions comprising a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company expects to show assets, liabilities, income and expense gross on its consolidated financial statements and provide the additional required disclosure.

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this update require an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections of the statement of financial position. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and new disclosures for disposal transactions of individually significant components of an entity that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Additionally, this guidance both permits and expands the disclosures about an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for all disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for sale. The Company has early adopted the provisions of this guidance. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Furthermore, the guidance requires interim and annual disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the characteristics of an investment company, provides comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company and requires an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. The guidance also requires additional disclosure. This guidance is effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation.
NOTE 3 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company has evaluated its securities, loans, investments in unconsolidated entities, liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing preferred securities (consisting of unsecured junior subordinated notes) and its securitizations in order to determine if they qualify as VIEs. The Company monitors these investments and, to the extent it has determined that it owns a material investment in the current controlling class of securities of a particular entity, analyzes the entity for potential consolidation. The Company will continually analyze investments and liabilities, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such investments or liabilities are VIEs and whether such VIE should be consolidated.
Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)
Based on management’s analysis, the Company is the primary beneficiary of nine VIEs at June 30, 2014 : Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CLO VIII, RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1, Whitney CLO I, RCC CRE Notes 2013 and Moselle CLO. In performing the primary beneficiary analysis for seven of these VIEs (other than Whitney CLO I and Moselle CLO, which are discussed below), it was determined that the parties that have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to each of these VIEs and who have the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to these VIEs, are a related party group. It was then determined that the Company was the party within that group that is more closely associated to each such VIE considering the design of the VIE, the principal-agency relationship between the Company and other members of the related-party group, and the relationship and significance of the activities of the VIE to the Company compared to the other members of the related-party group.

Except for Whitney CLO I and Moselle CLO, these securitizations were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities, CMBS, property available-for-sale, bank loans, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The Manager manages these entities on behalf of the Company. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of bonds, the Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted equity returns and to match the term of its assets and liabilities. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception and is continually assessed.
Moselle CLO is a European securitization in which the Company purchased a $40.0 million interest in the form of subordinate notes representing 100% of the Class 1 Subordinated Notes and 67.9% of the Class 2 subordinated Notes in February 2014. The CLO is managed by an independent third-party and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLO. Though neither the Company nor one of its related parties manages the CLO, due to certain unilateral kick-out rights within the collateral management agreement, it was determined that the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Moselle CLO. Having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Moselle CLO and a financial interest that is expected to absorb both positive and negative variability in the CLO that could potentially be significant, the Company was determined to be the the primary beneficiary of Moselle CLO and, therefore, consolidated the CLO.
Whitney CLO I is a securitization in which the Company acquired rights to manage the collateral assets held by the entity in February 2011. For a discussion on the primary beneficiary analysis for Whitney, see “— Unconsolidated VIEs – Resource Capital Asset Management,” below.
For a discussion of the Company’s securitizations, see Note 1 and for a discussion of the debt issued through the securitizations, see Note 12 .
For CLOs in which the Company does not own 100% of the subordinated notes, the Company imputes an interest rate using expected cash flows over the life of the CLO and records the third party's share of the cash flows as interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
The Company has exposure to losses on its securitizations to the extent of its subordinated debt and preferred equity interests in them. The Company is entitled to receive payments of principal and interest on the debt securities it holds and, to the extent revenues exceed debt service requirements and other expenses of the securitizations, distributions with respect to its preferred equity interests. As a result of consolidation, debt and equity interests the Company holds in these securitizations have been eliminated, and the Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflects both the assets held and debt issued by the securitizations to third parties and any accrued expense to third parties. The Company's operating results and cash flows include the gross amounts related to the securitizations' assets and liabilities as opposed to the Company's net economic interests in the securitizations. Assets and liabilities related to the securitizations are disclosed, in the aggregate, on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The creditors of the Company’s nine consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. However, in its capacity as manager, the Company has voluntarily supported two credits in one of its commercial real estate CDOs as the credits went through a restructuring in order to maximize their future cash flows. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company has provided financial support of $10,000 and $549,000 , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company has provided financial support of $688,000 and $1.9 million , respectively. The Company has provided no other financial support to any other of its VIEs nor does it have any requirement to do so, although it may choose to do so in the future to maximize future cash flows on such investments by the Company. There are no explicit arrangements that obligate the Company to provide financial support to any of its consolidated VIEs, although the Company may choose to do so in the future.

(2)    Assets of each of the consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of each respective VIE.
Unconsolidated VIEs (the Company is not the primary beneficiary, but has a variable interest)
Based on management’s analysis, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs discussed below since it does not have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the following VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2014 . The Company’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the “Maximum Risk Exposure” column in the table below.

RESOURCE CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS − (Continued)
JUNE 30, 2014
(unaudited)


LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.
On November 16, 2011, the Company together with LEAF Financial, Inc. ("LEAF Financial"), a subsidiary of Resource America, and LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LCC”), another subsidiary of Resource America, entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements (collectively the “SPA”) with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm, and its affiliates (“Eos”). In exchange for its prior interests in its lease related investments, the Company received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), 4,872 shares of newly issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), collectively representing, on a fully-diluted basis assuming conversion, a 26.7% interest in LCC. The Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $36.3 million based on a third-party valuation.  The Company's fully-diluted interest in LCC assuming conversion is 28.3% . The Company’s investment in LCC was recorded at $40.1 million and $41.0 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.
The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of LCC because it does not participate in any management or portfolio decisions, holds only two of six board positions, and only controls 28.3% of the voting rights in the entity. Furthermore, Eos holds consent rights with respect to significant LCC actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, consummation of a sale of the entity, liquidation or initiating a public offering.
Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures
The Company has a 100% interest in the common shares of Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“RCT II”), valued at $1.5 million in the aggregate (or 3% of each trust). RCT I and RCT II were formed for the purposes of providing debt financing to the Company, as described below. The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts and determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of either trust because it does not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the trusts, which include the collection of principal and interest and protection of collateral through servicing rights. Accordingly, neither trust is consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and records dividend income when declared by RCT I and RCT II. The trusts each hold subordinated debentures for which the Company is the obligor in the amount of $25.8 million for RCT I and $25.8 million for RCT II. The debentures were funded by the issuance of trust preferred securities of RCT I and RCT II. The Company will continuously reassess whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.
Resource Capital Asset Management CLOs
In February 2011, the Company purchased a company that managed bank loan assets through five CLOs. As a result, the Company became entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from these CLOs. The purchase price of $22.5 million resulted in an intangible asset that was allocated to each of the five CLOs and is amortized over the expected life of each CLO. The unamortized balance of the intangible asset was $10.3 million and $11.2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively. The Company recognized fee income of $1.1 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, and $1.5 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. With respect to four of these CLOs, the Company determined that it does not hold a controlling financial interest and, therefore, is not the primary beneficiary. One of these CLOs was substantially liquidated in February 2013. With respect to the fifth CLO, Whitney CLO I, in October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of its preferred equity. Based upon that purchase, the Company determined that it did have an obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Whitney CLO I and that a related party had the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the VIE. As a result, together with the related party, the Company had both the power to direct and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses. It was then determined that, between the Company and the related party, the Company was the party within that group that was more closely associated with Whitney CLO I because of its preferred equity interest in Whitney CLO I. The Company, therefore, consolidated Whitney CLO I. In May 2013, the Company purchased additional equity in this CLO which increased its equity ownership to 68.3% of the outstanding preferred equity of the CLO. In September 2013, the Company substantially liquidated Whitney CLO I, and, as a result, substantially all of the assets were sold.

The unrealized losses in the above table are considered to be temporary impairments due to market factors and are not reflective of credit deterioration.
The Company performs an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the properties underlying these securities in order to analyze current and projected security performance.  Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to the Company’s income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are subjected to testing for economic changes within possible ranges, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal and interest indicating no impairment. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses of zero and $21,000 , respectively, on positions that supported the Company’s CMBS investments.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company made no acquisitions. The Company has two assets classified as property available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 . The Company confirmed the intent and ability to sell its office property and multi-family property in their present condition during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 . These properties qualified for held for sale accounting treatment upon meeting all applicable criteria on or prior to June 30, 2014 , at which time depreciation and amortization were ceased. As such, the assets associated with the office property and multi-family property, with a carrying value of $9.6 million and $19.8 million , respectively, are separately classified and included in property available-for-sale on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 . However, the anticipated sale of these properties did not qualify for discontinued operations and, therefore, the operations for all periods presented continue to be classified within continuing operations on the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company expects the sale of both properties to close within the next six months. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the office property for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were losses of $9,000 and $25,000 , respectively, and losses of $77,000 and $154,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the multi-family property for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were losses of $5,000 and $123,000 , respectively, and earnings of $88,000 and $106,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The Company's hotel property, which was classified as available-for-sale at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , was sold during the three months ended June 30, 2014 for a gain of $3.0 million and is recorded in gain on sale of real estate on the Company's consolidated statements of income.
During the year ended December 31, 2013 , the Company made no acquisitions and sold one of its multi-family properties for a gain $16.6 million , which was recorded in gain on sale of real estate on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Credit quality indicators
Bank Loans
The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign grades to bank loans.  Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received.  Loans are graded on a scale of 1-5 with 1 representing the Company’s highest rating and 5 representing its lowest rating.  The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period end as held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales.  The Company considers metrics such as performance of the underlying company, liquidity, collectability of interest, enterprise valuation, default probability, ratings from rating agencies and industry dynamics in grading its bank loans.

Commercial Real Estate Loans
The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign grades to commercial real estate loans.  Loans are graded at inception and updates to assigned grades are made continually as new information is received.  Loans are graded on a scale of 1-4 with 1 representing the Company’s highest rating and 4 representing its lowest rating.  The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period ends at the lower of their fair market value or cost, net of any allowances and costs associated with the loan sales.  In addition to the underlying performance of the loan collateral, the Company considers metrics such as the strength of underlying sponsorship, payment history, collectability of interest, structural credit enhancements, market trends and loan terms in grading its commercial real estate loans.

Residential Mortgage Loans
Residential mortgage loans are reviewed periodically for collectability in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing underlying conditions. The Company also designates loans that are sold after the period ends as held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost.
Loans Receivable - Related Party
The Company recorded a $700,000 allowance for loan loss on a related party loan due to a default on an individually significant credit in the fund that caused an unplanned cash flow deficiency.

NOTE 11 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets represent identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of the Company’s acquisition of RCAM in February 2011, its conversion of loans to investments in real estate in June 2011, and the acquisition of real estate in August 2011.  The Company amortizes identified intangible assets to expense over their estimated lives or period of benefit using the straight-line method.  The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment as events and circumstances change.  In October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of the preferred equity of, and began consolidating, Whitney CLO I, one of the RCAM CLOs (see Note 3 ). As a result of this transaction and the consolidation of Whitney CLO I, the Company wrote-off the unamortized balance of $2.6 million , the intangible asset associated with this CLO, which was recorded in gain (loss) on consolidation in the consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2012. In May 2013, the Company purchased additional equity, increasing its ownership percentage to 68.3% before the CLO was substantially liquidated in October 2013. Due to an event whereby a second CLO liquidated in early 2013, the Company accelerated the amortization of the remaining balance of its intangible asset and recorded a $657,000 charge to depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2012. Upon acquisition of PCM, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $600,000 related to its wholesale-correspondent relationships, which have a finite life of approximately two years.
The Company expects to record amortization expense on intangible assets of approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 , $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 , $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 .  The weighted average amortization period was 7.1 years and 7.7 years at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively and the accumulated amortization was $11.0 million and $12.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company recognized $1.1 million and $2.8 million , respectively, of fee income related to the investment in RCAM. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company recognized $1.5 million and $2.9 million , respectively, of fee income related to the investment in RCAM.
The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the Company’s best estimate of fair value with any shortage under the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to gain on bargain purchase. The gain on bargain purchase resulted from the stock grant described above being accounted for as compensation under GAAP and was recorded as other income (expense) on the Company's consolidate statement of income.     
The following table sets forth the allocation of the purchase price as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Although no further material purchase price adjustments for PCM are anticipated, the Company has not yet completed the process of estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on this investment. Accordingly, the Company's preliminary estimates and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as the Company completes the process. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, changes, if any, to the preliminary estimates and allocation will be reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements, retrospectively.

CMBS – Term Repurchase Facility
In February 2011, the registrant's wholly-owned subsidiaries, RCC Commercial Inc. and RCC Real Estate, Inc. (collectively, the "RCC Subsidiaries"), entered into a master repurchase and securities contract (the “2011 Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”).  Under the 2011 Facility, from time to time, the parties may enter into transactions in which the RCC Subsidiaries and Wells Fargo agree to transfer from the RCC Subsidiaries to Wells Fargo all of their right, title and interest to certain commercial mortgage backed securities and other assets (the “Assets”) against the transfer of funds by Wells Fargo to the RCC Subsidiaries, with a simultaneous agreement by Wells Fargo to transfer the Assets back to the RCC Subsidiaries at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds from the RCC Subsidiaries to Wells Fargo. The maximum amount of the 2011 Facility is $100.0 million which had an original two year term with a one year option to extend, and an interest rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% plus a .25% initial structuring fee and a .25% extension fee upon exercise. The 2011 Facility has a current maturity date of January 31, 2015. The RCC Subsidiaries may enter into interest rate swaps and cap agreements for securities whose average life exceeds two years to mitigate interest rate risk under the 2011 Facility.
The 2011 Facility contains customary   events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, and the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings that remain unstayed.  The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of all obligations of the RCC Subsidiaries to repay the purchase price for purchased assets.
 The 2011 Facility also contains margin call provisions relating to a decline in the market value of a security. Under these circumstances, Wells Fargo may require the RCC Subsidiaries to transfer cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
 Under the terms of the 2011 Facility and pursuant to a guarantee agreement dated February 1, 2011 (the “2011 Guaranty”), the Company agreed to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Wells Fargo the prompt and complete payment and performance of (a) all payment obligations owing by the RCC Subsidiaries to Wells Fargo under or in connection with the 2011 Facility and any other governing agreements and any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (b) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, that are incurred by Wells Fargo in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of the registrant; and (c) any other obligations of the RCC Subsidiaries with respect to Wells Fargo under each of the governing documents.  The 2011 Guaranty includes covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's leverage and debt service ratios and require maintenance of certain levels of cash and net worth. RCC Real Estate and RCC Commercial were in compliance with all financial debt covenants under the 2011 Facility and 2011 Guaranty as of June 30, 2014 .

In June 2014, the registrant's wholly-owned subsidiaries, RCC Resi Portfolio and RCC Resi TRS (the “Sellers”) entered into a master repurchase and securities contract (the “2014 Facility”) with Wells Fargo.  Under the 2014 Facility, from time to time, the parties may enter into transactions in which the Sellers and Wells Fargo agree to transfer from the Sellers to Wells Fargo all of their right, title and interest to certain residential mortgage backed securities and other assets against the transfer of funds by Wells Fargo to the Sellers, with a simultaneous agreement by Wells Fargo to transfer back to the Sellers such assets at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds from the Sellers to Wells Fargo. The maximum amount of the 2014 Facility is $285.0 million which had an original one year term with a one year option to extend, and a maximum interest rate of 1.45% plus a 4.00% pricing margin.  The 2014 Facility has a current maturity date of June 22, 2015.

The 2014 Facility contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, and the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings that remain unstayed. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of all obligations of the Sellers to repay the purchase price for purchased assets.

The 2014 Facility also contains margin call provisions relating to a decline in the market value of a security. Under these circumstances, Wells Fargo may require the Sellers to transfer cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

In December 2013, the Company closed RCC CRE Notes 2013, a $307.8 million real estate securitization that provides financing for commercial real estate loans. Resource Real Estate serves as special servicer. With respect to each Specialty Service Mortgage Loan, Resource Real Estate receives an amount equal to the product of (a) the Special Servicing Fee Rate, 0.25% per annum, and (b) the outstanding principal balance of such Specialty Service Mortgage Loan. The servicing fee is payable monthly, on an asset-by-asset basis. The Company utilizes the brokerage services of Resource Securities Inc. ("Resource Securities"), a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Resource America, on a limited basis to conduct some of its asset trades. The Company paid Resource Securities a $205,000 placement agent fee in connection with this transaction.
Relationship with Law Firm .  Until 1996, Edward E. Cohen, a director who was the Company’s Chairman from its inception until November 2009, was of counsel to Ledgewood, P.C., a law firm.  In addition, one of the Company’s executive officers, Jeffrey F. Brotman, was employed by Ledgewood until 2007.  Mr. E. Cohen receives certain debt service payments from Ledgewood related to the termination of his affiliation with Ledgewood and its redemption of his interest in the firm.  Mr. Brotman also receives certain debt service payments from Ledgewood related to the termination of his affiliation with the firm.   For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company paid Ledgewood $120,000 and $158,000 , respectively, in connection with legal services rendered to the Company.

NOTE 18 – DISTRIBUTIONS
In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income.  In addition, the Company must distribute 100% of its taxable income in order not to be subject to corporate federal income taxes on retained income.  The Company anticipates it will distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders.  Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses (such as provisions for loan and lease losses and depreciation), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its distributions or, alternatively, may be required to borrow to make sufficient distribution payments.
The Company’s 2014 dividends will be determined by the Company’s board of directors which will also consider the composition of any dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares.
The following tables presents dividends declared (on a per share basis) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 .

NOTE 19 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In analyzing the fair value of its investments accounted for on a fair value basis, the Company follows the fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or, if quoted prices are not available, through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment.  The hierarchy followed defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. 
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment.  The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter; depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.  However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  The following is a discussion of these assets and liabilities as well as the valuation techniques applied to each for fair value measurement.
The Company reports its investment securities available-for-sale at fair value.  To determine fair value, the Company uses an independent third-party valuation firm utilizing data available in the market as well as appropriate prepayment, default, and recovery rates.  These valuations are validated utilizing dealer quotes or bids. If there is a material difference between the value indicated by the third-party valuation firm and the dealer quote or bid, the Company will evaluate the difference which could result in an updated valuation from the third party or a revised dealer quote. Based on a prioritization of inputs used in the valuation of each position, the Company categorizes these investments as either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company reports its investment securities, trading at fair value, based on an independent third-party valuation.  The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the valuation it receives by using a dealer quote.  If there is a material difference between the value indicated by the third party and a quote the Company receives, the Company will evaluate the difference.  Any changes in fair value are recorded on the Company’s results of operations as net unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities, trading.
The CMBS underlying the Company’s linked transactions are valued using the same techniques as those used for the Company’s other CMBS. The value of the underlying CMBS is then netted against the carrying amount (which approximates fair value) of the repurchase agreement borrowing at the valuation date. The fair value of linked transactions also includes accrued interest receivable on the CMBS and accrued interest payable on the underlying repurchase agreement borrowings. The Company’s linked transactions are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivatives (interest rate swaps and interest rate caps), both assets and liabilities, are reported at fair value, and are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach with models that use, as their primary inputs, readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company assesses the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and, if material, categorizes those derivatives within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value as follows (in thousands):

In accordance with ASC 820-10-50-2-bbb, the Company is not required to disclose quantitative information with respect to unobservable inputs contained in fair value measurements that are not developed by the Company. As such, the Company has not disclosed such information associated with fair values obtained from third-party pricing sources. Because the Company was not able to obtain significant observable inputs and market data points due to a change in methodology whereby the Company began using a third party valuation firm to determine fair value, the Company reclassified $94.9 million of CMBS (including certain CMBS accounted for as linked transactions, to Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Loans held-for-investment:  The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 Loans held-for-investment was primarily measured using a third-party pricing service.  The fair value of the Company’s Level 3 Loans held-for-investment was measured by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Loans receivable-related party are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
CDO notes are valued using the dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CDO in which the notes are held.
Junior subordinated notes are estimated by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
The Company elected the fair value option for Moselle, CLO upon consolidation in 2014. The fair value option was elected for this CLO due to the relative pricing visibility on both the underlying assets and the notes of the CLO. Additionally, the Company believes the fair value option also better reflects the nature and intent of management's investment in this vehicle. The Company recorded a gain of $1.3 million on the fair value of loans of Moselle CLO and a loss of $430,000 on the fair value of the notes of Moselle CLO as Net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investment securities available-for-sale and loans for the three months ended June 30, 2014 on the consolidated statement of income. The interest income recorded to Interest income - Loans on the consolidated income statement and the interest expense recorded to Interest expense on the consolidated income statement were calculated at the coupon rate. At June 30, 2014 there were no significant gains or losses for the assets or liabilities due to credit risk.

A significant market risk to the Company is interest rate risk.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond the Company’s control.  Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with the interest-bearing liabilities, by affecting the spread between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in the level of interest rates also can affect the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets and the Company’s ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets.  A decline in the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets pledged as collateral for borrowings could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels.
The Company seeks to manage the extent to which net income changes as a function of changes in interest rates by matching adjustable-rate assets with variable-rate borrowings.  During periods of changing interest rates, interest rate mismatches could negatively impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows.  In addition, the Company mitigates the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime coupon adjustment restrictions in its investment portfolio by entering into interest rate hedging agreements such as interest rate caps and interest rate swaps.
At June 30, 2014 , the Company had 10 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.12% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR .  The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $125.4 million at June 30, 2014 .  The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts at such date were Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo, with which the Company had master netting agreements.
At December 31, 2013 , the Company had 12 interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid an average fixed rate of 5.03% and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR .  The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $129.5 million at December 31, 2013 .  The counterparties for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts are Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo with which the Company has master netting agreements.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was ($9.4) million and ($10.6) million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.  The Company had aggregate unrealized losses of $9.8 million and $10.8 million on the interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  In connection with the August 2006 close of RREF CDO 2006-1, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $119,000 , which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2006-1.  The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.  In connection with the June 2007 close of RREF CDO 2007-1, the Company realized a swap termination gain of $2.6 million , which is being amortized over the term of RREF CDO 2007-1.  The accretion is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.  In connection with the termination of a $53.6 million swap related to RREF CDO 2006-1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company realized a swap termination loss of $4.2 million , which is being amortized over the term of a new $45.0 million swap.  The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.  In connection with the payoff of a fixed-rate commercial real estate loan during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company terminated a $12.7 million swap and realized a $574,000 swap termination loss, which is being amortized over the original term of the terminated swap.  The amortization is reflected in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
The Company's mortgage banking subsidiary may use derivatives in the ordinary course of business that consist of forward sales contracts and interest rate lock commitments on residential mortgage loans. Forward sales contracts represent future commitments to deliver loans at a specified price and by a specified date and are used to manage interest rate risk on loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Rate lock commitments represent commitments to fund loans at a specific rate and by a specified time and are used to mitigate risk of changes in interest rate. These derivatives involve underling items, such as interest rates, and are designed to mitigate risk. Notional amounts are amounts on which calculations and payments are based, but which do not represent credit exposure, as credit exposure limited to the amounts required to be received or paid.

Forward sales contracts also contain an element of risk in that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In the event the parties to deliver commitments are unable to fulfill their obligations, the Company could potentially incur significant additional costs by replacing the positions at then current market rates. The Company manages its risk of exposure by limiting counterparties to those banks and institutions deemed appropriate by management and the Members. The Company does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, the Company does not expect to incur any cost related to counterparty default.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments. As market interest rates increase or decrease, the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and rate lock commitments will decline or increase accordingly. To offset this interest rate risk, the Company may enter into derivatives such as forward contracts to sell loans. The fair value of these forward sales contracts will change as market interest rates change, and the change in the value of these instruments is expected to largely, though not entirely, offset the change in fair value of loans held for sale and rate lock commitments. The objective of this activity is to minimize the exposure to losses on rate lock commitments and loans held for sale due to market interest rate fluctuations. The net effect of derivatives on earnings will depend on risk management activities and a variety of other factors, including market interest rate volatility, the amount of interest rate lock commitments that close, the ability to fill the forward contracts before expiration, and the time period required to close and sell loans.
The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and on the consolidated statements of income for the years presented:

ITEM 2 .
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information to assist you in understanding our financial condition and results of operations.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements.  Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements.  Additionally, please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with those statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K.
We are a diversified real estate investment trust that is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate-related debt and equity investments. We also make other commercial finance investments. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Our objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategies.  We invest in a combination of real estate-related assets and, to a lesser extent, higher-yielding commercial finance assets.  We have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through borrowing strategies seeking to match the maturities and repricing dates of our financings with the maturities and repricing dates of those investments, and have sought to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.
We are externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., or the Manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI), or Resource America, a specialized asset management company that uses industry-specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its commercial real estate, financial fund management and commercial finance operating segments.  As of June 30, 2014, Resource America managed approximately $18.9 billion of assets in these sectors.  To provide its services, the Manager draws upon Resource America, its management team and their collective investment experience.
We generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive from our assets and the cost to finance the purchase of those assets, from management of assets and from hedging interest rate risks.  We generate revenues from the interest and fees we earn on our whole loans, A notes, B notes, mezzanine debt securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, bank loans, middle market loans, other asset-backed securities, or ABS, and structured note investments.  We also generate revenues from the rental and other income from real properties we own, from management of externally originated bank loans, from our residential mortgage origination business (acquired in October 2013), and from our investment in an equipment leasing business.  Historically, we have used a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns and we have financed each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage.  The cost of borrowings to finance our investments is a significant part of our expenses.  Our net income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue.  In our bank loan, CMBS and ABS portfolios, we historically have used warehouse facilities as a short-term financing source and collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources.  In our commercial real estate loan portfolio, we historically have used repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source, and CDOs and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources.  Our other term financing has consisted of long-term, match-funded financing provided through long-term bank financing and asset-backed financing programs, depending upon market conditions and credit availability.

Having gained traction in 2013 , the economic environment has continued to be positive in the United States during 2014, which resulted in several positive operating developments for us. Our ability to access the capital markets continued to improve, as evidenced by our Series C preferred stock offering in June 2014, resulting in net proceeds at issuance to us of $116.2 million, and by the success of our dividend reinvestment and share purchase program, or DRIP, which raised $14.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 . In addition, we supplemented our common equity issuances with issuances of preferred stock through an at-the-market program, which resulted in proceeds of $33.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 . This brought our total net proceeds raised through our capital markets efforts to $163.3 million in 2014 to date, after underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

Although economic conditions in the United States have improved, previous conditions in real estate and credit markets continue to affect both us and a number of our commercial real estate borrowers.  Over a period of several years, we entered into loan modifications with respect to 16 of our outstanding commercial real estate loans.  During the past 18 months, we have adjusted our provision for loan losses to reflect the effect of these conditions on our borrowers as well as, where necessary, market-related temporary adjustments to the market valuations of both CMBS and ABS in our investment portfolio.  However, during 2013 and continuing through June 30, 2014, the improved economic conditions have led to a stabilization in the credit quality of our portfolio and, as a result, our provision for loan losses has decreased significantly in 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we have a net benefit in the provision for loan losses of $3.2 million, primarily due to the successful refinancing of a commercial real estate loan position on which we had previously established a significant reserve for credit loss. Other comprehensive income saw a decline of $3.8 million due to write downs in the marks on our available for sale securities and interest rate derivatives portfolios as of June 30, 2014 .  While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio at June 30, 2014, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions.
We have been able to establish and maintain two financing arrangements to provide capital for our growing commercial real estate lending business, as evidenced by a $250.0 million facility with Wells Fargo Bank and a $200.0 million facility with Deutsche Bank Ag, or DB. We continue to engage in discussions with potential financing sources about providing or expanding commercial real estate term financing to augment and cautiously grow our loan and security portfolios. We have expanded our borrowings with the use of term and additional repurchase agreements and are using them primarily to finance newly underwritten commercial real estate loans and to purchase highly rated CMBS. We anticipate replacing these short-term borrowings with longer term financing in the form of securitization borrowings as we did in December 2013 with the closing of a $307.8 million commercial real estate, or CRE, securitization. We continued this match-funded trend by closing our second CRE securitization of the last 8 months on July 30, 2014, a $354 million CLO. We believe this indicates a marketplace recognition of our ability to originate and structure high-quality transitional commercial real estate loans. However, we caution investors that even as financing through the credit markets becomes more available, we may not be able to obtain economically favorable terms.
With respect to our investments and investment portfolio growth, we continued to see increased opportunities to deploy our capital. During 2013 and through June 30, 2014 , we have underwritten 37 new CRE loans for a total of $610.5 million. These loans were in part financed through our CRE term facilities, our legacy CRE CDOs, and our new CRE securitizations.  We also purchased 20 newly underwritten CMBS for $47.1 million during the same time period all of which were financed with a Wells Fargo facility. In addition, we purchased 23 CMBS bonds for $101.9 million that were financed by short-term repurchase agreements and also purchased seven CMBS bonds for $43.9 million where no debt financing sources were utilized. We have used recycled capital in our bank loan CLO structures to make new investments at discounts to par.  We expect that the reinvested capital and related discounts will produce additional income as the discounts are accreted into interest income.  In addition, the purchase of these investments at discounts allows us to build collateral in the CLO structures since we receive credit in these structures for these investments at par.  From net discounts of approximately $4.0 million at June 30, 2014 , we recognized income of approximately $889,000 in our bank loan CLO portfolio in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and expect to accrete approximately $581,000 into income for the remainder of calendar year 2014. However, we have no further capacity in three of our bank loan CLOs, and two real estate CDOs have ended their reinvestment periods. We intend to use the existing capacity in our CMBS and CRE term credit facilities with Wells Fargo of $67.8 million and $250 million , respectively, and with Deutsche Bank of $200 million , as of July 31, 2014 to help finance new CRE loans and CMBS investments.
Conversely, we also saw a decline in our commercial finance assets, as two of our bank loan CLOs were substantially liquidated in 2013 and three of our bank loan CLOs have matured and, as the collateral assets pay down, the proceeds are used to pay down the associated debt.  This trend resulted in a substantial decline in our net interest income from bank loans in 2013, which continued into the second quarter of 2014. We began to mitigate this trend by investing in new CLOs in late 2013 and early 2014 . We further expect to mitigate this trend by deploying capital into our middle-market lending business, the loans of which are similar in nature to bank loans, and in our growing commercial real estate lending platform.
Due to these recent developments, our increased ability to access credit markets, our recent capital markets efforts and our investment of a significant portion of our available unrestricted and restricted cash balances during 2013 , we expect to continue to modestly increase our net interest income into 2014.  However, because we believe that economic conditions in the United States are fragile, and could be significantly harmed by occurrences over which we have no control, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our expectations, or that we will not experience net interest income reductions.

On October 31, 2013, we, through RCC Residential, Inc., our newly-formed taxable REIT subsidiary, acquired a residential mortgage origination company, Primary Capital Mortgage, LLC or PCM, (formerly known as Primary Capital Advisors LLC), an Atlanta-based firm for $7.6 million in cash. In addition, a key employee of PCM was granted approximately $800,000 in shares of our common stock that was subsequently accounted for as compensation.  The shares of common stock were issued in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Of the $7.6 million cash consideration, $1.8 million was set aside in an escrow account as a contingency for potential purchase price adjustments.  Our acquisition of PCM represents a return to the residential mortgage investment market by providing us with our first residential mortgage origination platform. We intend to cautiously expand this business over the next 12 to 18 months while adding infrastructure, staff and new technology. Also, on June 30, 2014 , we closed a residential jumbo loan-backed securitization where we retained approximately $30.0 million of the structure's mezzanine securities.
In the latter half of 2013, we seeded a middle market lending operation operated by our Manager with funds to invest on our behalf. These funds were derived from proceeds of sales from a partial liquidation of our trading portfolio. Our first investments were in bank loans purchased in the secondary market; however, in December 2013, we closed on a self-originated loan.  We made additional investments of $63.4 million in the first six months of 2014 , which is a trend we expect to continue through 2014 , which will also help mitigate the revenues lost as a result of the liquidation and run-off of several bank loan CLOs.
As of June 30, 2014 , we had invested 68% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 31% in commercial bank loans and 1% in other assets. As of December 31, 2013 , we had invested 83% of our portfolio in CRE assets, 15% in commercial bank loans and 2% in other assets.  
Results of Operations
Our net income allocable to common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $14.7 million or $0.12 per share-basic ( $0.11 per share-diluted) and $29.8 million or $0.24 per share-basic ( $0.23 per share-diluted), respectively, as compared to net income allocable to common shares of $6.5 million , or $0.05 per share (basic and diluted), respectively, and $18.1 million or $0.16 per share (basic and diluted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 .

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Aggregate interest income decreased $123,000 ( 0.4% ) and $6.4 million ( 10% ) to $30.6 million and $57.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $30.7 million and $64.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 . respectively. We attribute these decreases to the following:
Interest Income from Loans. Aggregate interest income from loans increased $35,000 ( 0% ) and decreased $7.5 million ( 14% ) to $26.2 million and $46.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $26.2 million and $54.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively.
Interest income on bank loans decreased $6.2 million ( 40% ) and $17.2 million ( 52% ) to $9.2 million and $16.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $15.4 million and $33.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , which principally was the result of the following:
a decrease of $357.2 million and $488.4 million in the weighted average loan balance to $695.1 million and $627.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, principally due to the liquidation of two of our CLOs, Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I, in September 2013 and October 2013, respectively. In addition, two of our remaining CLOs (Apidos CLO I and Apidos CLO III) reached the end of their reinvestment periods in prior years and, as a result, any principal collected is used to pay down notes instead of being reinvested in new assets. This decrease in the weighted average balance of assets was partially offset by our consolidation of Moselle CLO in 2014; and
a decrease in the weighted average yield to 5.10% and 5.02% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to 5.75% and 5.91% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, primarily as a result of the decrease in accretion income from Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I as a result of their liquidation, as well as a decrease in accretion income from Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III resulting from decreasing asset and unamortized discount balances.
Interest income on commercial real estate, or CRE, loans increased $6.2 million ( 57% ) and $9.6 million ( 46% ) to $17.0 million and $30.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $10.8 million and $20.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively.  These increases are a result of the following combination of factors:
an increase of $297.2 million and $251.9 million in the weighted average loan balance to $1.0 billion and $971.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $734.5 million and $719.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, as we continued to originate new loans for our CRE securitization, that closed in both in December 2013 and July 2014; and
an increase in the weighted average yield to 6.59% and 6.03% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 from 5.95%  and 5.80% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, primarily as a result of increased exit fees predominantly from a $1.6 million exit fee collected on a legacy loan that paid off during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Interest Income from Securities .  Aggregate interest income from securities decreased $505,000 ( 13% ) and 143,000 ( 2% ) to $3.4 million and $7.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $3.9 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively.  The decreases in interest income from securities resulted principally from the following:
Interest income on CMBS-private placement decreased $19,000 ( 1% ) and increased $823,000 ( 15% ) to $2.8 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $2.8 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively.  The changes resulted from the following:
decreases of $22.5 million and $1.4 million in the weighted average balance of assets to $206.0 million and $216.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $228.5 million and $217.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, primarily as a result of the sale of 3 assests during the three months ended June 30, 2014; and
an increase in the weighted average yield of assets to 5.41% and 5.93% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from 4.86% and 4.98% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, primarily as a result of the collection of $730,000 in interest shortfalls on an impaired bond during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and to a lesser extent, an increase in accretion income as a result of new assets purchased at discounts.

Interest income from ABS increased $191,000 ( 64% ) and $18,000 2% to $490,000 and $785,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $299,000 and $767,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The increases are a result of of the following:
increases of $14.9 million and $6.4 million in the weighted average asset balances to $41.5 million and $33.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $26.6 million and $26.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, primarily as a result of the consolidation of Moselle. This increase was partially offset by asset paydowns and sales in 2013 and 2014; and
increase in the weighted average yield during the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 4.78% from 4.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to an increase in the weighted average coupon due to the mix of assets as a result of the consolidation of Moselle CLO as well as other purchases during 2014. The decrease in the weighted average yield to 4.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 5.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 partially offset the increase in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and was primarily the result of a decrease in cash based income from a defaulted security whereby we received a total of $141,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Interest income from corporate bonds decreased $232,000 ( 78% ) and $482,000 (81)% to $67,000 and $115,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $299,000 and $597,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, and was the result of the liquidation of Whitney CLO I in October 2013. In October 2012 and in May 2013, we purchased of 66.6% and 1.7%, respectively, of the equity in Whitney CLO I which resulted in us consolidating this entity that held a small portfolio corporate bonds.
Interest income from RMBS decreased ($445,000) ( 93% ) and ($502,000) ( 88% ) to $35,000 and $67,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $480,000 and $569,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, and was the result of the sale of two RMBS on June 30, 2013.
Interest Income - Other.   Aggregate interest income-other increased $347,000 ( 55% ) and $1.3 million ( 53% ) to $982,000 and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $635,000 and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. Substantially all of this increase is related to the incremental interest income provided by new assets purchased at the end of 2013 and in 2014.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Aggregate interest expense decreased $524,000 ( 5% ) and $2.1 million ( 9% ) to $10.6 million and $20.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $11.1 million and $22.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. We attribute this decrease to the following:

Interest expense on bank loans was $1.8 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $5.5 million and $11.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , decreases of $3.7 million (67%) and $7.9 million ( 71% ), respectively. These decreases resulted from the following:
a decrease of $479.7 million and $584.6 million in the weighted average balance of the related financings to $635.6 million and $582.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, principally due to the call and liquidation of Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I in September 2013 and October 2013, respectively, which resulted in the paydown of all outstanding notes. In addition, Apidos CDO I and Apidos CDO III reached the end of their reinvestment periods in prior years. For the period from April 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, Apidos CDO I paid down $117.7 million in principal amount of its CDO notes and Apidos CDO III paid down $96.3 million in principal amount of its CDO notes. This was partially offset by the consolidation of Moselle CLO in 2014; and
a decrease in the weighted average yield to 1.10% and 1.10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to 1.94% and 1.89% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, primarily due to a decrease in expense related to Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I which were substantially liquidated in September 2013 and October 2013, respectively.
Interest expense on CRE loans was $3.9 million and $7.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $2.1 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 . respectively, increases of $1.9 million ( 91% ) and $3.1 million ( 76% ) as a result of the following:

the increase of $354.0 million and $316.8 million in the weighted average balance of debt to $742.9 million and $714.5 million from $388.8 million and $397.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, primarily as a result of the consolidation of CRE Notes 2013, a securitization that closed in December 2013, as well as the purchase and financing of loan assets for another securitization that closed in July 2014. These increases were partially offset by principal payoffs in Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, or RREF CDO 2006-1, and Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, or RREF CDO 2007-1, as the underlying collateral paid down or paid off. From January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 , the CDOs paid down a total of $188.3 million of notes; and
an increase in the weighted average yield to 2.18% and 2.12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to 2.11% and 2.07% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, which was due primarily to note paydowns of lower yield debt which increased the weighted average cost of the remainder of these borrowings.
Securitized borrowings expense decreased $700,000 ( 80% ) and $1.6 million ( 90% ) to $180,000 and $180,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively from $880,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. This interest expense was related to our subordinated investments in Apidos CLO VIII and Whitney CLO I which were called and substantially liquidated in 2013. The current year's interest expense is related to Moselle CLO which was consolidated in 2013.
Interest expense on 6.0% convertible senior notes was $2.1 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively. In October 2013, we closed and issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.0% convertible senior notes due 2018. The discount recorded on the notes will be amortized on a straight-line basis as additional interest expense through maturity.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Rental income decreased $3.5 million ( 70% ) and $4.6 million ( 41% ) to $1.5 million and $6.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $5.1 million and $11.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The decreases are primarily related to the sale of a multi-family apartment building in September 2013 and the sale of a hotel in April 2014.
Equity in net earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $1.7 million ( 2,347% ) and $4.1 million ( 1,170% ) to earnings of $1.8 million and $3.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from earnings of $72,000 and losses of $353,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The increase in earnings was related to the following:
$1.1 million and $1.9 million from our investment in CVC Global Credit Opportunities Fund, L.P., in which we made invested of $15.0 million in May 2013, primarily as a result of improved asset valuations and, to a lesser extent, as a result of the mix of investments;
$869,000 and $1.7 million primarily from the sale of two properties in which we owned equity interests in our real estate joint venture; and
$65,000 and $1.0 million from the settlement of a loan in which we owned an equity interest.
Fee income increased $1.2 million ( 78% ) and $2.5 million ( 86% ) to $2.7 million and $5.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $1.5 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. This increase in income is primarily due to our October 2013 investment in PCM and the fees related to residential mortgage origination.
Net realized gains on investment securities available-for-sale and loans increased $1.9 million ( 78% ) and $5.2 million ( 185% ) to $4.3 million and $7.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $2.4 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The increases are due to our recent investment in PCM and the gain on the sale of residential mortgage originations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was almost entirely offset by losses on the derivatives in place on that portfolio and in place on our investments in foreign denominated securities as well as losses on sales in our CMBS portfolio during 2014.
Net realized and unrealized losses on investment securities, trading decreased $1.1 million ( 63% ) and increased $1.6 million ( 248% ) to losses of $650,000 and $2.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to losses of $1.8 million and $635,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The decrease in the losses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily related to the sale of two securities subsequent to June 30, 2013 that had approximately $1.1 million of unrealized losses during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increased losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are principally related to decreases in the marks primarily on four securities as a result of market factors.

Realized gain (loss) and net interest income on linked transactions, net, increased $10.3 million ( 196% ) and $12.8 million ( 233% ) to gains of $5.0 million and $7.3 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from losses of $5.2 million and $5.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, principally as a result of pricing increases related to these positions. The amounts are related to our CMBS securities that are purchased with repurchase agreements with the same counterparty from whom the securities are purchased. These transactions are entered into contemporaneously or in contemplation of each other and are presumed not to meet sale accounting criteria. We account for these transactions on a net basis and record a forward purchase commitment to purchase securities (each, a “linked transaction”) at fair value.

Total general and administrative expense per the consolidated statements of income was $ 11.9 million and $20.0 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respective, and $ 2.4 million and $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Management fees - related party increased $399,000 ( 14% ) and $501,000 ( 9% ) to $3.3 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $2.9 million and $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. This expense represents compensation in the form of base management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to our management agreement as well as fees to the manager of our structured note portfolio. The changes are described below:
Base management fees increased by $132,000 ( 4% ) and $551,000 ( 10% ) to $3.2 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively as compared to $3.0 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. This increase was due to increased stockholders' equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, primarily as a result of the receipt of $33.7 million of proceeds from the sales of common stock through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, or DRIP, from January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 as well as the receipt of $114.5 million from the proceeds of our April 2013 secondary common stock offering. In addition, we issued approximately 335,000, 3.5 million shares and 4.8 million of Series A preferred stock, Series B preferred stock, and Series C preferred stock respectively, from January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 .
Incentive management fees related to our structured finance manager decreased by $266,000 ( 100% ) and $4,000 ( 100% ) to $0 and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 . The decrease in fees is primarily related to the decrease on the marks of the assets tied to this structured note portfolio, which ultimately prevented the portfolio from reaching its hurdle rate that would trigger the payment of additional incentive management fees.

Equity compensation - related party decreased $123,000 ( 6% ) and $2.0 million ( 36% ) to $2.0 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $2.2 million and $5.7 million for the three and six months June 30, 2013 , respectively. These expenses are related to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and annual and discretionary grants of restricted stock to employees of Resource America who provide investment management services to us through our Manager as well as to employees of our recently acquired residential mortgage company subsidiary. The decrease in expense was primarily the result of vestings of restricted stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 . The decrease was partially offset by an increase in our stock price and its impact on our quarterly remeasurement of the value of unvested stock of non-employees.
Rental operating expense decreased $2.5 million ( 70% ) and $3.1 million ( 41% ) to $1.1 million to $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to $3.6 million and $7.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, and is primarily related to the sale of a multi-family apartment building in September 2013 and a hotel property in April 2014.
General and administrative expense - Corporate increased $2.4 million ( 99% ) and $1.7 million ( 29% ) to $4.7 million and $7.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $2.4 million and $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The increases are primarily the result of the following:
increases of $583,000 and $286,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively related to payroll and additional headcount;
increases of $900,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively related to expenses on the sale of a hotel in April 2014; and
increases of $371,000 and $273,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively related to additional professional services being incurred.
General and administrative expense - PCM was $7.1 million and $12.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively and is related to the acquisition of PCM, a residential mortgage and servicing origination business that we acquired in October 2013. Expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of an increase in origination volume.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $239,000 ( 24% ) and $541,000 ( 25% ) to $760,000 and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, from $1.0 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The decreases are the result of the sale of a multi-family property in September 2013 and the classification of a hotel property to held-for-sale as of January 31, 2014 and the ceasing of depreciation of the asset at that time.
Income tax (benefit) expense decreased $2.2 million ( 126% ) and $3.9 million ( 112% ) to benefits of $446,000 and $430,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to expenses of $1.7 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, primarily due to Apidos VIII in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 which was substantially liquidated in September 2013 and, therefore, no longer generating income tax expense. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 valuations on our trading portfolio decreased, generating a tax benefit as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, when the marks were higher and generated tax expense.
Our provision (benefit) for loan losses increased $2.0 million ( 163% ) and decreased $3.0 million ( 1489% ) to a provision of $782,000 and a benefit of $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, as compared to benefits of $1.2 million and $200,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively.

CRE Loan Portfolio Provision
The principal reason for the decrease during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was that we had a mezzanine loan that we took provisions on during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we reversed $4.5 million of reserves on this same position because the mezzanine position was paid off in full.
Bank Loan Portfolio Provision
The bank loan provision increased by $1.9 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 to a benefit of $5,000 and a provision of $607,000 , respectively as compared to benefits of $1.9 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The principal reason for the increases was due to increased provision related to positions subsequently sold for credit reasons at a loss that adjusted the provision directly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 .
Loans Receivable - Related Party
The loans receivable - related party provision was $700,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 on a related party loan due to a default on an individually significant credit in the fund that caused an unplanned cash flow deficiency.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 as compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Other expense of $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 is related to the revaluation of our equity position in life settlement contracts.
Gain on sale of real estate of $3.0 million is primarily related to the sale of our hotel property in April 2014.
Loss on the reissuance of debt is related to the sale of previously repurchased debt notes in our commercial real estate CDO’s which were resold at slightly less than par and resulted in losses of $533,000 and $602,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Financial Condition
Summary.
Our total assets were $2.6 billion at June 30, 2014 and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2013 .  The increase in total assets was principally due to the increase in CRE and CMBS investments as well as the acquisition of a controlling interest in a CLO, which resulted in the consolidation of its bank loans and ABS.
Investment Portfolio.
The table below summarizes the amortized cost and net carrying amount of our investment portfolio, classified by interest rate type.  The following table includes both (i) the amortized cost of our investment portfolio and the related dollar price, which is computed by dividing amortized cost by par amount, and (ii) the net carrying amount   of our investment portfolio and the related dollar price, which is computed by dividing the net carrying amount by par amount for the periods presented as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Private Placement.   In the aggregate, we purchased our CMBS-private placement portfolio at a net discount.  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $5.1 million and $7.2 million , respectively. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the remaining premium to be amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $539,000 and $645,000 , respectively. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , we recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses zero and $21,000 , respectively, on positions that supported our CMBS investments. Securities classified as available-for-sale have increased on a net basis as of June 30, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 primarily due to new assets acquired through the consolidation of Moselle CLO. We perform an on-going review of third-party reports and updated financial data on the underlying property financial information to analyze current and projected loan performance.  Rating agency downgrades are considered with respect to our income approach when determining other-than-temporary impairment and, when inputs are stressed, the resulting projected cash flows reflect a full recovery of principal.

(5)

(6)
Fixed rate mezzanine loans include a mezzanine loan that was modified into two tranches, which both currently pay interest at 0.50% . In addition, the subordinate tranche accrues interest at LIBOR plus 18.50% which is deferred until maturity.
Bank Loans.   At June 30, 2014 , our consolidated securitizations, Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, and Moselle CLO, as well as Resource TRS and RCC Commercial, held a total of $720.2 million of bank loans at fair value.  The bank loans held by these entities secure the CDO notes they issued and are not available to satisfy the claims of our creditors.  The aggregate fair value of bank loans held increased by $157.2 million over the fair value at December 31, 2013 . This increase was primarily due to the acquisition and consolidation of Moselle CLO during the six months ended June 30, 2014 .

Corporate bonds . At June 30, 2014 , our consolidated securitization, Apidos Cinco CDO, held a total of $3.5 million of corporate bonds at fair value, which secure the debt issued by this entity.  These investments are held at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss reported in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheet. The aggregate fair value of corporate bonds held increased by $1.0 million over those held at December 31, 2013 . The increase was primarily due to purchases of higher rated bonds, partially offset by a sale, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 .

We began consolidating this investment during the first quarter of 2014. Ownership % represents ownership after consolidation.
In May, June and July 2013, we invested $15.0 million into CVC Global Credit Opportunities Fund, L.P., or, the Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership which generally invests in assets through a master-feeder fund structure, or the Master Fund. The General Partner of the Partnership and the Master Fund is CVC Global Credit Opportunities Fund GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The investment manager of the Partnership and the Master Fund is CVC Credit Partners, LLC. CVC Capital Partners SICAV-FIS, S.A., a Luxembourg company, together with its affiliates, and Resource America, own a majority and a significant minority, respectively, of the investment manager. The fund will pay the investment manager a quarterly management fee in advance calculated at the rate of 1.5% annually based on the balance of each limited partner's capital account. Our management fee was waived upon entering into the agreement since we are a related party of CVC Credit Partners, LLC.
In January 2013, Long Term Care Conversion, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, invested $2.0 million into Life Care Funding, or LCF, for the purpose of originating and acquiring life settlement contracts. In February 2014, we invested an additional $1.4 million which resulted in the consolidation of LCF during the first quarter of 2014.
On June 19, 2012, we entered into a joint venture with Värde Investment Partners, LP acting as lender, to purchase two condominium developments.  We purchased a 7.5% equity interest in the venture. Resource Real Estate Management, LLC , or RREM, was appointed as the asset manager of the venture to perform lease review and approval, debt service collection, loan workout, foreclosure, disposition and permitting, as applicable.  RREM was also responsible for engaging third parties to perform day-to-day property management, property leasing, rent collection, maintenance, and capital improvements.  RREM received an annual asset management fee equal to 1% of outstanding contributions. No management fees were paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 . For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , we paid RREM management fees of $10,000 and $26,000 , respectively.
On November 16, 2011, we, together with LEAF Financial Inc. and LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. entered into a stock purchase agreement and related agreements, or collectively the SPA, with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm.  Our resulting interest is accounted for under the equity method.

On December 1, 2009, we purchased a membership interest in RRE VIP Borrower, LLC (an unconsolidated variable interest entity, or VIE, that holds an interest in a real estate joint venture) from Resource America at book value. RREM acts as asset manager of the venture and receives a monthly asset management fee equal to 1% of the combined investment calculated as of the last calendar day of the month. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , we paid RREM management fees of $1,000 and $6,000 , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , we paid RREM management fees of $8,000 and $16,000 , respectively.
We have a 100% interest valued at $1.5 million in the common shares ( 3% of the total equity) in two trusts, Resource Capital Trust I, or RCT I, and RCC Trust II, or RCT II.  We record our investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and record dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , we recognized $594,000 and $1.2 million , respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures we issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $50,000 and $99,000 , respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , we recognized $602,000 and $1.2 million , respectively, of interest expense with respect to the subordinated debentures we issued to RCT I and RCT II which included $48,000 and $95,000 , respectively, of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs.

Residential Mortgage Loans
We review residential mortgage loans periodically for collectability in light of historical experience, the nature and amount of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing underlying conditions. We also record loans that are sold after the period end as being held for sale at the lower of their fair market value or cost.

We confirmed the intent and ability to sell our office property and multi-family property in their present condition during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 . These properties qualified for held for sale accounting treatment upon meeting all applicable criteria on or prior to June 30, 2014 , at which time depreciation and amortization with respect to them. As such, the assets associated with the office property and multi-family property, with a carrying value of $9.6 million and $19.8 million respectively, are separately classified and included in property available-for-sale on our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 . However, the anticipated sale of these properties did not qualify for discontinued operations and, therefore, the operations for all periods presented continue to be classified within continuing operations on our consolidated statements of income. We expect the sale of both properties to close within the next six months. The gain from the sales of these properties will be recorded in gain on sale of real estate on our consolidated statements of income. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the office property for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were losses of $9,000 and $25,000 , respectively, and losses of $77,000 and $154,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. Pre-tax earnings recorded on the multi-family property for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were losses of $5,000 and $123,000 , respectively, and earnings of $88,000 and $106,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. Our hotel property, which was classified as available-for-sale at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , sold during the three months ended June 30, 2014 for a gain of $3.0 million and is recorded in gain on sale of real estate on our consolidated statements of income.
During the year ended December 31, 2013 , we made no acquisitions and sold one of our multi-family properties for a gain of $16.6 million , which was recorded in gain on sale of real estate on our consolidated statements of income.

Restricted Cash
At June 30, 2014 , we had restricted cash of $91.2 million , which consisted of $88.8 million of restricted cash held by our nine securitizations, $500,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio, $752,000 held in restricted accounts at our investment properties and $1.2 million held primarily in a pledged account at our subsidiary, PCM.  At December 31, 2013 , we had restricted cash of $63.3 million , which consisted of $61.4 million of restricted cash on our eight securitizations, $771,000 held in a margin account related to our swap portfolio, $847,000 held in restricted accounts at our investment properties and $318,000 held primarily in a pledged account at our subsidiary, PCM.  The increase of $27.9 million is primarily related to new loan settlements in our CDOs, which were a result of the use of restricted cash available for reinvestment prior to the expiration of the reinvestment period.
Interest Receivable
At June 30, 2014 , we had interest receivable of $12.0 million , which consisted of $12.0 million of interest on our securities and loans and $6,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts.  At December 31, 2013 , we had interest receivable of $9.0 million , which consisted of $9.0 million of interest on our securities and loans and $6,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts.  The increase resulted from an increase in interest receivable on mezzanine loans of $2.1 million , an increase in interest receivable on structured notes of $281,000 , and in increase in interest receivable on CMBS of $36,000 , partially offset by a decrease in interest receivables on bank loans of $213,000 .

6.0% Convertible Senior Notes
On October 21, 2013, we issued and sold in a public offering $115.0 million aggregate in principal amount of our 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018. After deducting the underwriting discount and the estimated offering costs, we received approximately $ 111.1 million of net proceeds. A discount of $4.9 million on the 6.0% Convertible Senior notes reflects the difference between the stated value of the debt and the fair value of the notes as if they were issued without a conversion feature and at a higher rate of interest that we estimated would have been applicable without the conversion feature. The discount will be amortized on a straight-line basis as additional interest expense through maturity on December 1, 2018. Interest on the 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes is paid semi-annually. Prior to December 1, 2018 , the 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes are not redeemable at our option, except to preserve our status as a REIT. On or after December 1, 2018 , we may redeem all or a portion of the 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at a current conversion rate of 150.1502 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes (equivalent to a current conversion price of $6.66 per common share). Upon conversion of 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes by a holder, the holder will receive cash, our common shares or a combination of cash and our common shares, at our election.
Trust Preferred Securities
In May 2006 and September 2006, we formed RCT I and RCT II, respectively, for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests.  Although we own $774,000 of the common securities of RCT I and RCT II, RCT I and RCT II are not consolidated into our financial statements because we do not deem ourselves to be the primary beneficiary of these entities. In connection with the issuance and sale of the capital securities, we issued junior subordinated debentures to RCT I and RCT II of $25.8 million each, representing our maximum exposure to loss.  The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II are included in borrowings and are being amortized into interest expense in the consolidated statements of income using the effective yield method over a ten year period.
The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at June 30, 2014 were $211,000 and $233,000 , respectively.  The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II at December 31, 2013 , were $261,000 and $282,000 , respectively.  The rates for RCT I and RCT II, at June 30, 2014 , were 4.18% and 4.17% , respectively.  The rates for RCT I and RCT II, at December 31, 2013 , were 4.20% and 4.19% , respectively.
The rights of holders of common securities of RCT I and RCT II are subordinate to the rights of the holders of capital securities only in the event of a default; otherwise, the common securities’ economic and voting rights are pari passu with the capital securities.  The capital and common securities of RCT I and RCT II are subject to mandatory redemption upon the maturity or call of the junior subordinated debentures held by each.  Unless earlier dissolved, RCT I will dissolve on May 25, 2041 and RCT II will dissolve on September 29, 2041.  The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of RCT I and RCT II, mature on September 30, 2036 and October 30, 2036, respectively, and may be called at par by us at any time after September 30, 2011 and October 30, 2011, respectively.  We record our investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common securities of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated trusts and record dividend income upon declaration by RCT I and RCT II.
Stockholders’ Equity
Total equity at June 30, 2014 was $921.9 million and gave effect to $9.8 million of unrealized losses on our cash flow hedges and $387,000 of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.  Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2013 was $773.9 million and gave the effect to $11.2 million of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges and $3.1 million of unrealized losses on our available-for-sale portfolio, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The increase in stockholder’s equity during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was principally due to the proceeds from the initial issuance of Series C 8.625% Preferred Stock, proceeds from sales of our common stock through our DRIP, as well as sales of Series A 8.50% Preferred Stock and Series B 8.25% Preferred Stock through our at-the market program.

Funds from Operations
We evaluate our performance based on several performance measures, including funds from operations, or FFO, and adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, in addition to net income.  We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated/uncombined partnerships and joint ventures.
AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s cash flow generated by operations.  We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO the non-cash impacts of the following: non-cash impairment losses resulting from fair value adjustments on financial instruments, provision for loan losses, equity investment gains and losses, straight-line rental effects, share based compensation, amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets, gains or losses on sales of property that are wholly owned or owned through a joint venture, in addition to the cash impact of capital expenditures that are related to our real estate owned. In addition, we add and subtract from FFO the cash and non-cash impact of reissuances or extinguishments of debt and sales of property, respectively.
Management believes that FFO and AFFO are appropriate measures of our operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs.  Management uses FFO and AFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation, share-based compensation and various other items required by GAAP, and capital expenditures, that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods.
While our calculations of AFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by other REITs and our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our performance with some other REITs.  Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.  Furthermore FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties.  Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 , our principal sources of liquidity were net proceeds from the June offering of our 8.625% Series C Preferred Stock of $116.2 million, $33.0 million from the sale of our 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock and 8.50% Series A Preferred Stock through our ATM program, funds available in existing CDO financings of $88.8 million and cash flow from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we also received $14.6 million of sale proceeds from our common stock DRIP, all of which are included in our $222.3 million of unrestricted cash at June 30, 2014 .  In addition, we had capital available through a CMBS term facility to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities of $63.2 million and two CRE term facilities for the origination of commercial real estate loans of $47.0 million and $185.1 million.  As of December 31, 2013 , our principal sources of current liquidity were proceeds from the sale of common stock through our DRIP, and proceeds from sales of our 8.5% Series A Preferred Stock and 8.25% Series B Preferred Stock through our ATM program, funds available in existing CDO financings of $78.5 million and cash flow from operations.  For the year ended December 31, 2013 , we received $73.0 million of DRIP proceeds and $43.1 million of preferred stock sales proceeds, the remainder of which are included in our $85.3 million of unrestricted cash at December 31, 2013 .  In addition, we had capital available through two CRE term facilities to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities and the origination of commercial real estate loans of $45.3 million and $90.9 million, respectively. 
In October 2013, we closed and issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018. We received net proceeds of approximately $111.1 million after payment of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, all of which is included in our $222.3 million of unrestricted cash.
Our on-going liquidity needs consist principally of funds to make investments, make debt repurchases, make distributions to our stockholders and pay our operating expenses, including our management fees.  Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and, with respect to our investments, our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to above.  Historically, we have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through CDOs that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments.  We derive substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CDOs which, if the CDOs fail to meet certain tests, will cease.  Through June 30, 2014 , we have not experienced difficulty in maintaining our existing CDO financing and have passed all of the critical tests required by these financings.  However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet all such critical tests in the future.  If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of existing financing on substantially similar terms, we may be unable to implement our investment strategies successfully and may be required to liquidate portfolio investments.  If required, a sale of portfolio investments could be at prices lower than the carrying value of such assets, which would result in losses and reduced income.

RCC CRE Notes 2013 closed on December 31, 2013 ; the first distribution was in January 2014. There is no reinvestment period for the securitization. Additionally, the indenture contains no coverage tests.

Moselle CLO S.A. was acquired on February 24, 2014; the first distribution was in April 2014. The reinvestment period for this securitization expired prior to the acquisition of this securitization.
At July 31, 2014 , after paying our second quarter 2014 common and preferred stock dividends, our liquidity is derived from three primary sources:
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $156.3 million , restricted cash of $500,000 in margin call accounts and $2.0 million in the form of real estate escrows, reserves and deposits;
capital available for reinvestment in two of our securitizations of $3.9 million , all of which is designated to finance future funding commitments on CRE loans; and
loan principal repayments that we expect will paydown outstanding CLO notes by $59.6 million as well as interest collections of $4.5 million .
In addition, at July 31, 2014, we have funds available through three term financing facilities to finance the origination of CRE loans of $250 million and $200 million , respectively, and to finance the purchase of CMBS of $67.8 million .
Our leverage ratio may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use.  As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , our leverage ratio was 1.7 times.  While we had repayments of CDO notes and received equity offering proceeds through our preferred Series C offering and sales though our preferred stock ATM program and common stock DRIP, which reduced our leverage ratios, these were offset by increased borrowings due to our consolidation of Moselle CLO and advances under our Wells Fargo CRE, Deutsche Bank CRE term financing facilities and Deutsche Bank CMBS short-term repurchase agreements.
Distributions
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid corporate-level income tax on our income, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of our net taxable income to holders of our common stock.  This requirement can impact our liquidity and capital resources.

(1)
Contractual commitments do not include $338,000 , $2.5 million , $1.0 million , $5.0 million , and $7.1 million of interest expense payable through the stated maturity dates of July 2014 , May 2015 , May 2015 , August 2016 , and June 2017 , respectively, on Apidos CDO I, Apidos Cinco CDO, Apidos CDO III, RREF 2006-1, and RREF 2007-1.  The maturity date represents the time at which the CDO assets can be sold, resulting in repayment of the CDO notes.
(2)
Contractual commitments include $236,000 of interest expense payable through the maturity date on our repurchase agreements.
(3)
Contractual commitments do not include $44.1 million and $45.0 million of estimated interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036 , respectively, on our trust preferred securities.
(4)
Contractual commitments do not include $31.0 million of interest expense payable through the maturity date of December 1, 2018 on our 6.0% convertible senior notes.
(5)
Unfunded commitments on our originated CRE loans generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional loan interest income on the advanced amount.
(6)
The financing or credit agreements on our originated middle market loans, in some cases, allow for subsequent advances.  All advances require compliance with the contractual criteria and terms as specifically described in the individual financing or credit agreement, and therefore are subject to the approval of the appropriate portfolio manager.  Loans earn income, typically in the form of interest and fees, as specifically outlined in the documentation of each loan. 
(7)
Calculated only for the next 12 months based on our current equity, as defined in our management agreement.  Our management agreement also provides for an incentive fee arrangement that is based on operating performance.  Because the incentive fee is not a fixed and determinable amount, it is not included in this table.
(8)
$218.1 million of the repurchase agreements were paid down in July 2014 when we closed our CRE securitization, CRE Notes 2014, Ltd.
At June 30, 2014 , we had ten interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $125.4 million .  These contracts are fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreements under which we contracted to pay a fixed rate of interest for the term of the hedge and will receive a floating rate of interest.  As of June 30, 2014 , the average fixed pay rate of our interest rate hedges was 5.12% and our receive rate was one-month LIBOR, or 0.15%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
General
As of June 30, 2014 , we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes, although we do have interests in unconsolidated entities not established for those purposes. Except as set forth below, as of June 30, 2014 , we had not guaranteed obligations of any such unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.
Unfunded Commercial Real Estate Loan Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to borrowers whose loans are in our commercial real estate loan portfolio to provide additional loan funding in the future. These commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments is subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria. Upon disbursement of funds, we receive loan interest income on any such advanced funds. As of June 30, 2014 , we had 25 loans with unfunded commitments totaling $52.5 million, of which $4.1 million will be funded by restricted cash in RCC CRE Notes 2013 and $250,000 will be funded by restricted cash in RREF CDO 2007-1; we intend to fund the remaining $48.1 million through cash flow from normal operating activities and principal repayments on other loans in our portfolio. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting requirements and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Unfunded Middle Market Loan Commitments

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we began originating middle-market loans in RCC Commercial, Inc and Resource TRS, LLC. Resource America is paid origination fees in connection with our middle-market lending operations, where fees may not exceed 2% of the loan balance for any loan originated. The executed agreements between us and borrowers within our portfolio contain commitments to provide additional loan funding in the future. These commitments generally fall into two categories: (1) revolving credit facility; and (2) additional notes commitments. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments are subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria and in some instances at our discretion. Upon disbursement of funds, we receive loan interest income on any such advanced funds. As of June 30, 2014, we had four loans with unfunded commitments totaling $36.1 million, all of which would be funded by RCC Commercial, Inc. We intend to fund these commitments through cash flow from normal operating activities. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

ITEM 3 .
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of June 30, 2014 , the primary component of our market risk was interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.
Effect on Fair Value
A component of interest rate risk is the effect changes in interest rates will have on the fair value of our assets. We face the risk that the fair value of our assets will increase or decrease at different rates than that of our liabilities, including our hedging instruments.
We primarily assess our interest rate risk by estimating the duration of our assets and the duration of our liabilities. Duration essentially measures the market price volatility of financial instruments as interest rates change. We generally calculate duration using various financial models and empirical data. Different models and methodologies can produce different duration numbers for the same securities.
The following sensitivity analysis tables show, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the estimated impact on the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and liabilities of changes in interest rates, assuming rates instantaneously fall 100 basis points and rise 100 basis points (dollars in thousands):

(1) Includes the fair value of available-for-sale investments that are sensitive to interest rate change.
For purposes of the table, we have excluded our investments with variable interest rates that are indexed to LIBOR. Because the variable rates on these instruments are short-term in nature, we are not subject to material exposure to movements in fair value as a result of changes in interest rates.

107



It is important to note that the impact of changing interest rates on fair value can change significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could increase significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the yield curve, market expectations as to future interest rate changes and other market conditions. Accordingly, in the event of changes in actual interest rates, the change in the fair value of our assets would likely differ from that shown above and such difference might be material and adverse to our stockholders.
Risk Management
To the extent consistent with maintaining our status as a REIT, we seek to manage our interest rate risk exposure to protect our portfolio of fixed-rate commercial real estate mortgages and CMBS and related debt against the effects of major interest rate changes. We generally seek to manage our interest rate risk by:
monitoring and adjusting, if necessary, the reset index and interest rate related to our mortgage-backed securities and our borrowings;
attempting to structure our borrowing agreements for our CMBS to have a range of different maturities, terms, amortizations and interest rate adjustment periods; and
using derivatives, financial futures, swaps, options, caps, floors and forward sales, to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of our fixed-rate commercial real estate mortgages and CMBS and our borrowing which we discuss in “Financial Condition-Hedging Instruments.”

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control of Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.4(b)


RESOURCE CAPITAL CORP.
2007 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated the day of (the “Date of Grant”), between Resource Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and (“Grantee”), is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Company’s (the “Plan”), a copy of which has been made available to the Grantee. All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan have the same meaning given them in the Plan.
1. Award . Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants the Grantee a Stock Award covering shares.
 
2. Vesting . The shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award shall vest as follows:

(a) Subject to such further limitations as are provided herein, the Stock Award shall vest on the following dates:

Date
Shares Vesting


If the vesting schedule described above results in the vesting of a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall not be deemed vested pursuant to the vesting schedule but shall vest when such fractional share and other fractional shares that would have become vested aggregate whole shares of Common Stock.

(b) From and after the Date of Grant through the date on which the Stock Award becomes fully vested pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, the unvested portion of the Stock Award remains subject to forfeiture in accordance with the terms of Section 3. Such period shall be known herein as the “Restricted Period.”

(c) In accordance with the Plan, shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award that have not previously vested shall become immediately vested on the Control Change Date.

(d) Shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award that do not vest in accordance with this paragraph shall be forfeited.






3. Forfeiture .

(a) Upon the termination of the Grantee’s Employment, as defined below, during the Restricted Period, the Stock Award, to the extent not previously vested, shall immediately terminate and become null and void, except in a case where the termination of the Grantee’s Employment is by reason of death or an illness or injury that (i) lasts at least 6 months, (ii) is expected to be permanent, and (iii) renders the Grantee unable to carry out his or her Employment duties (collectively, a “Disability”). “Employment” means employment by the Grantee as an officer or employee of the Company, Resource America, the Manager or any of their affiliates, as defined in the Plan, or by a consultant or joint venture partner who performs services for the Company or the Manager in furtherance of the Company’s business.    
    
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein or in the Plan, if the Grantee shall (i) commit any act of malfeasance or wrongdoing affecting the Company or any of its affiliates, (ii) breach any covenant not to compete, or employment contract, with the Company or any of its affiliates, or (iii) engage in conduct that would warrant the Grantee’s discharge from Employment for cause, the unvested portion of the Stock Award shall immediately terminate and become null and void.

4. Custody of Certificates . The Company and/or the Plan Administrator shall retain custody of the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award until the shares have become vested under paragraph 2. The Company shall deliver the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award promptly after the shares have become vested in accordance with paragraph 2. With respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award that are forfeited in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3, Grantee hereby appoints the Secretary of the Company as its attorney to transfer any such forfeited shares on the books of the Company with full power of substitution in the premises. The Secretary of the Company shall use the authority granted under the preceding sentence to cancel any shares of Common Stock that are forfeited under paragraphs 2 and 3.

5. Shareholder Rights . Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the holder thereof shall have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award, including the right to vote such shares and receive dividends thereon, from the Date of Grant.

6. Transferability . The shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered before they vest in accordance with paragraph 2.

Exhibit 10.4(c)

RESOURCE CAPITAL CORP.
2007 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated the day of (the “Date of Grant”), between Resource Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and (“Grantee”), is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Company’s (the “Plan”), a copy of which has been made available to the Grantee. All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan have the same meaning given them in the Plan.
1. Award . Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants the Grantee a Stock Award covering shares.
 
2. Vesting . The shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award shall vest as follows:

(a) Subject to such further limitations as are provided herein, the Stock Award shall vest on the following dates:

Date
Shares Vesting

If the vesting schedule described above results in the vesting of a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall not be deemed vested pursuant to the vesting schedule but shall vest when such fractional share and other fractional shares that would have become vested aggregate whole shares of Common Stock.

(b) From and after the Date of Grant through the date on which the Stock Award becomes fully vested pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, the unvested portion of the Stock Award remains subject to forfeiture in accordance with the terms of Section 3. Such period shall be known herein as the “Restricted Period.”

(c) In accordance with the Plan, shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award that have not previously vested shall become immediately vested on the Control Change Date.

(d) Shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award that do not vest in accordance with this paragraph shall be forfeited.






3. Forfeiture .

(a) Except as set forth in the last sentence of this section 3(a), upon the termination of the Grantee’s Employment, as defined below, during the Restricted Period, the Stock Award, to the extent not previously vested, shall immediately terminate and become null and void, except in a case where the termination of the Grantee’s Employment is by reason of death or an illness or injury that (i) lasts at least 6 months, (ii) is expected to be permanent, and (iii) renders the Grantee unable to carry out his or her Employment duties (collectively, a “Disability”). “Employment” means employment by the Grantee as an officer or employee of the Company, Resource America, the Manager or any of their affiliates, as defined in the Plan, or by a consultant or joint venture partner who performs services for the Company or the Manager in furtherance of the Company’s business. Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent that restricted stock or stock options of Resource America would vest upon a termination of Grantee’s Employment pursuant to an employment agreement between Employee and Resource America, then the Stock Award shall also vest; for the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that if this grant and an employment agreement between Employee and Resource America shall conflict, then the employment agreement shall govern with shares pursuant to the Stock Award vesting at the same time and in the same manner as shares or options of Resource America thereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein or in the Plan, if the Grantee shall (i) commit any act of malfeasance or wrongdoing affecting the Company or any of its affiliates, (ii) breach any covenant not to compete, or employment contract, with the Company or any of its affiliates, or (iii) engage in conduct that would warrant the Grantee’s discharge from Employment for cause, the unvested portion of the Stock Award shall immediately terminate and become null and void.

4. Custody of Certificates . The Company and/or the Plan Administrator shall retain custody of the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award until the shares have become vested under paragraph 2. The Company shall deliver the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award promptly after the shares have become vested in accordance with paragraph 2. With respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award that are forfeited in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3, Grantee hereby appoints the Secretary of the Company as its attorney to transfer any such forfeited shares on the books of the Company with full power of substitution in the premises. The Secretary of the Company shall use the authority granted under the preceding sentence to cancel any shares of Common Stock that are forfeited under paragraphs 2 and 3.

5. Shareholder Rights . Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the holder thereof shall have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award, including the right to vote such shares and receive dividends thereon, from the Date of Grant.

6. Transferability . The shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered before they vest in accordance with paragraph 2. After such Stock Award vests in accordance with paragraph 2, no sale or disposition of such shares shall be made in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to such shares unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such sale or disposition will not constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws is first obtained.






7. Change in Capital Structure . The terms of this Agreement, including the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award shall be adjusted as the Board determines is equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.

8. Conflicts . In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. All references herein to the Plan mean the Plan as in effect on the date hereof.

9. Grantee Bound by Plan . The Grantee hereby acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available to him or her and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof.

10. Binding Effect . Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors of the Grantee and any transferee of the Grantee in accordance with paragraph 5 and the successors of the Company.

11. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute this Agreement, and the Grantee has placed his or her signature hereon, effective as of the Date of Grant.
