We have been able to (i) buy down our basis through purchases of our CDO bonds at significant discounts, (ii) purchase CMBS AAA rated bonds cheaply where we expect par recoveries, (iii) continue to pay a meaningful cash dividend, and (iv) position ourselves to build value in our portfolio. All this being said, we are continuing to asset manage our portfolio aggressively -- make long term smart decisions and continue to look for opportunistic situations."

Additional financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 and recent developments include:

Commercial Finance

--  RCC's bank loan portfolio ended the third quarter with total
    investments of $910.6 million, at amortized cost, with a weighted-average
    spread of one-month and three-month LIBOR plus 2.59%. All of RCC's bank
    loan portfolio is match-funded through three collateralized loan obligation
    ("CLO") issuances with a weighted-average cost of three-month LIBOR plus
    0.47%. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, RCC received
    $55.1 million in bank loan paydowns and repayments. At September 30, 2009,
    RCC had $37.0 million of cash available for reinvestment in its three bank
    CLOs combined.
    

Book Value

As of September 30, 2009, RCC's GAAP book value per common share was $6.80. Total stockholders' equity was $169.4 million as of September 30, 2009 as compared to $186.3 million as of December 31, 2008. Total common shares outstanding were 24,895,409 as of September 30, 2009 as compared to 25,344,867 as of December 31, 2008. The net decrease in RCC's stockholders' equity of $16.9 million was primarily the result of increased provisions for loan and lease losses of $32.6 million, losses on RCC's bank loan portfolio of $12.6 million, combined with a decrease in the value of marked-to-market securities of $9.4 million, which was partially offset by an increase in the value of interest rate swaps of $16.2 million and a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $19.6 million.

As of September 30, 2009, RCC's economic book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $9.47. Economic book value is computed by adding back to GAAP book value any unrealized losses on the Company's investments in CMBS for which it expects to recover full par value at maturity, and on derivatives (cash flow hedges) that are associated with fixed-rate loans which it intends to hold until maturity, in excess of its value at risk, and that have not been adjusted through stockholders' equity for market fluctuations (see Note 1 of Schedule II in this release). Economic book value per share is computed by dividing the economic book value by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period.

(1) RCC believes that a presentation of estimated REIT taxable income
    provides useful information to investors regarding its financial
    condition and results of operations as it uses this measurement to
    determine the amount of dividends that it is required to declare to its
    stockholders in order to maintain its status as a REIT for federal
    income tax purposes. Since RCC, as a REIT, expects to make
    distributions based on taxable earnings, RCC expects that its
    distributions may at times be more or less than its reported GAAP
    earnings. Total taxable income is the aggregate amount of taxable
    income generated by RCC and by its domestic and foreign taxable REIT
    subsidiaries. Estimated REIT taxable income excludes the undistributed
    taxable income of RCC's domestic taxable REIT subsidary ("TRS"), if any
    such income exists, which is not included in REIT taxable income until
    distributed to RCC. There is no requirement that RCC's domestic TRS
    distribute its earnings to RCC. Estimated REIT taxable income, however,
    includes the taxable income of RCC's foreign TRSs because RCC will
    generally be required to recognize and report their taxable income on a
    current basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations,
    this presentation of estimated REIT taxable income may not be
    comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
(2) Denominator for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 includes
    88,147 common shares that were not included in the calculation of GAAP
    earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive due
    to RCC's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The
    dilutive shares relate to restricted stock that has not yet vested at
    September 30, 2009.

(1) Management views economic book value, a non-GAAP measure, as a useful
    and appropriate supplement to GAAP stockholders' equity and book value
    per share. The measure serves as an additional measure of RCC's value
    because it facilitates evaluation of RCC without the effects of
    unrealized losses on investments for which RCC expects to recover full
    par value at maturity and on interest rate swaps, which RCC intends to
    hold to maturity, in excess of RCC's value at risk. Unrealized losses
    recognized in RCC's financial statements, prepared in accordance with
    GAAP, that are in excess of RCC's maximum value at risk are added back
    to stockholders' equity in arriving at economic book value. Economic
    book value should be reviewed in connection with GAAP stockholders'
    equity as set forth in RCC's consolidated balance sheets, to help
    analyze RCC's value to investors. Economic book value is defined in
    various ways throughout the REIT industry. Investors should consider
    these differences when comparing RCC's economic book value to that of
    other REITs.
(2) RCC adds back unrealized losses on interest rate swaps (cash flow
    hedges) that are associated with fixed-rate loans that have not been
    adjusted through stockholders' equity for market fluctuations.
