Commercial Real Estate
-- RCC produced new commercial real estate ("CRE") loans, on a gross
basis, of $35.6 million during the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. The
aggregate net portfolio of CRE loans grew by $177.1 million to $909.1
million at March 31, 2008, from $732.0 million at March 31, 2007, not

Commercial Finance
-- RCC's bank loan portfolio ended the first quarter with total
investments of $949.0 million, at amortized cost, with a weighted-average
spread of one-month and three-month LIBOR plus 2.27%. 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%.
-- RCC's commercial finance subsidiary ended the first quarter with $94.5
million, at cost, in direct financing leases and notes at a weighted-
average rate of 9.67%. RCC's leasing portfolio is match-funded through a
secured term facility, which had a balance of $90.0 million as of March 31,
2008 and a weighted-average interest rate of 6.74%.
Book Value
As of March 31, 2008, RCCs GAAP book value per common was $10.03. Total
stockholders equity was $253.3 million as of March 31, 2008 as compared to
$271.6 million as of December 31, 2007. Total common shares outstanding
were 25,264,793 as of March 31, 2008 as compared to 25,103,532 as of
December 31, 2007.
As of March 31, 2008, RCCs economic book value per common share
outstanding, a non-GAAP measure, was $11.94. Economic book value is
computed by adding back to GAAP book value any unrealized losses on the
Companys 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 Footnote 1 of Schedule
III). 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.
Investment Portfolio

Liquidity At April 30, 2008, RCC's liquidity consists of three primary sources:
-- unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $7.5 million and restricted
cash of $8.9 million comprised of $5.5 million in margin call accounts and
$3.4 million related to its leasing portfolio;
-- capital available for reinvestment in its five collateralized debt
obligation ("CDO") entities of $56.0 million, which is made up of $34.4
million of restricted cash and $21.6 million of availability to finance
future funding commitments on commercial real estate loans;
-- financing available under existing borrowing facilities of $19.7
million, comprised of $12.1 million of available cash from RCC's three year
non-recourse secured financing facility and $7.6 million of unused capacity
under its unsecured revolving credit facility. RCC also has $85.8 million
of unused capacity under a three-year non-recourse commercial real estate
repurchase facility, which, however, requires approval of individual
repurchase transactions by the repurchase counterparty.
Capital Allocation
As of March 31, 2008, RCC had allocated its equity capital among its
targeted asset classes as follows: 74% in commercial real estate loans, 25%

======== ========
Adjusted net income per share - diluted, excluding
non-cash charges and non-operating capital
transactions $ 0.42 $ 0.38
======== ========
(1) During 2007, RCC began evaluating its performance based on several
performance measures, including adjusted net income in addition to net
income. Adjusted net income represents net income available to common
shares, computed in accordance with GAAP, before provision for loan and
lease losses, gain on the extinguishment of debt and non-operating
capital items. These items are recorded in accordance with GAAP and
are typically non-cash or non-operating items that do not impact RCC's
operating performance or ability to pay a dividend.
Management views adjusted net income as a useful and appropriate
supplement to GAAP net income (loss) because it helps us evaluate RCC's
performance without the effects of certain GAAP adjustments that may
not have a direct financial impact on RCC's current operating
performance and dividend paying ability. Management uses adjusted net
income to evaluate the performance of RCC's investment portfolios,
ability to manage its expenses and dividend paying ability before the
impact of non-cash adjustments and non-operating capital gain or loss
recorded in accordance with GAAP. RCC believes this is a useful
performance measure for investors to evaluate these aspects of RCC's
business as well. The most significant adjustments RCC excludes in
determining adjusted earnings are its provision for loan and lease
losses and at March 31, 2007, gain on the extinguishment of debt and
losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities. Management
excludes all such items from its calculation of adjusted net income
because these items are not charges or losses which would impact RCC's
current operating performance. However, by excluding these significant
items, adjusted net income reduces an investor's understanding of RCC's
operating performance by excluding management's expectation of possible
gains or losses from RCC's investment portfolio.
Adjusted net income, as a non-GAAP financial measurement, does not
purport to be an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or a measure of
operating performance or cash flows from operating activities
determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity. Instead,
adjusted net income should be reviewed in connection with net income
(loss) and cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities in RCC's consolidated financial statements to help analyze
management's expectation of potential future losses from RCC's
investment portfolio and other non-cash or capital matters that impact
its financial results. Adjusted net income and other supplemental
performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT
industry. Investors should consider these differences when comparing
RCC's adjusted net income to these other REITs.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET INCOME
TO ESTIMATED REIT TAXABLE INCOME (1)
(Unaudited)
RCC calculates estimated REIT taxable income, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure, according to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The
following table reconciles net income to estimated REIT taxable income for
the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):
Three Months Ended
March 31,
------------------
2008 2007

sale of securities 2,000 -
Provisions for loan and lease losses unrealized 56 -
Net book to tax adjustments for the Company's
taxable foreign REIT subsidiaries 775 -
Other net book to tax adjustments 8 41
-------- --------
Estimated REIT taxable income $ 12,055 $ 9,671
======== ========
Amounts per share - diluted $ 0.48 $ 0.39
======== ========
(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 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 of RCC's domestic taxable REIT subsidiary, 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
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.

================
Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2008 25,265
----------------
Economic book value per share $ 11.94
================
(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 adjusted through stockholders' equity for market fluctuations.
