We are well positioned to grow book value through discount purchases of our debt as well as to pay a projected dividend of $1.00 per share in 2010. We maintain our conservative stance with a decent amount of investable cash as well as no short term debt. We are focused on deleveraging before we begin to start investing again in earnest. As the broader economy begins to slowly improve, we feel that Resource Capital is very well positioned to participate in and benefit from that recovery."

    and $31.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.


Commercial Finance

--  RCC's bank loan portfolio ended the fourth quarter with total
    investments of $896.9 million, at amortized cost, with a
    weighted-average spread of one-month and three-month LIBOR plus 2.66%.
    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%.

Book Value

As of December 31, 2009, RCC's stockholders' equity per common share was $6.26. Total stockholders' equity was $228.8 million as of December 31, 2009 as compared to $186.3 million as of December 31, 2008. Total common shares outstanding were 36,545,737 as of December 31, 2009 as compared to 25,344,867 as of December 31, 2008. The increase in RCC's stockholder's equity of $42.5 million was substantially the result of the offering completed in December 2009 that raised net offering proceeds of $43.4 million.

As of December 31, 2009, RCC's economic book value per common share outstanding, a non-GAAP measure, was $7.91. Economic book value is computed by adding back to stockholders' equity 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 this measurement is used to
    determine the amount of dividends that RCC 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 income, RCC expects that its
    distributions may at times be more or less than its reported GAAP net
    income. 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 (if any) of RCC's domestic taxable REIT subsidiary,
    which is not included in REIT taxable income until distributed to RCC.
    There is no requirement that RCC's domestic taxable REIT subsidiary
    distribute its income to RCC. Estimated REIT taxable income, however,
    includes the taxable income of RCC's foreign taxable REIT subsidiaries
    because RCC generally will 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) U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations are required to
    include their share of such corporations' income on a current basis;
    however, losses sustained by such corporations do not offset income of
    their U.S. shareholders on a current basis.

(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 us without the effects of
    unrealized losses on investments for which we expect to recover full
    par value at maturity and on interest rate swaps, which we intend 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
    fair-valued through stockholders' equity.
