RESOURCE AMERICA, INC.
REPORTS OPERATING RESULTS
FOR THE FOURTH FISCAL QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


Philadelphia, PA, December 6, 2010 - Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI) (the "Company”) reported adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, of $959,000, or $0.05 per common share-diluted, and $1.5 million, or $0.08 per common share-diluted, for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, as compared to an adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $428,000, or $0.02 per common share-diluted, and $17.4 million, or $0.94 per common share-diluted, for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, respectively.  A reconciliation of the Company’s reported GAAP (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders to adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, is included as Schedule I to this release.
 
For the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported a GAAP loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $8.5 million, or $0.44 per common share-diluted, and $14.1 million, or $0.74 per common share-diluted, respectively, as compared to GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $404,000, or $0.02 per common share-diluted, and a GAAP loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $14.5 million, or $0.78 per common share-diluted, for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
The GAAP loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 was primarily the result of losses generated from the Company’s commercial finance operations and deferred tax asset adjustments. Schedule I reflects the removal of the Company’s commercial finance operations and deferred tax asset adjustments from (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders.
 
Jonathan Cohen, CEO and President, commented, “We are pleased with our current financial and operational position.  We are enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.  Financially, our liquidity and debt levels have dramatically improved.  Operationally, since the financial crisis of 2008-2009, we have now substantially repositioned our three core businesses. In real estate, we continue to grow through (i) the recent launch of our Resource Real Estate REIT, (ii) our continued distressed investing through our institutional joint venture and (iii) the growth of Resource Capital Corp (NYSE: RSO) which we manage.  In our financial fund management business, we have returned to profitability and are starting to grow revenues and profits in our core asset managers. At LEAF, our equipment leasing business, we think the opportunities are great to grow our origination and servicing platform and expand our vendor program business. We are actively pursuing ways to provide the capital and structure to make that happen soon.  In the partnership management part of LEAF’s business, we continue to manage over $700 million of assets for four funds and have been able to securitize over 80% of those assets in the last few months and expect to do the rest shortly.”

Highlights for the Fourth Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2010 and Recent Developments
 
 
REAL ESTATE:
 
Fundraising:  Resource Real Estate (“RRE”) filed a $750.0 million registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 7, 2009 for Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (“RRE Opportunity REIT”), for which RRE is the external manager.  The registration statement became effective in June 2010 and the public offering broke escrow in September 2010. Through December 3, 2010, RRE Opportunity REIT has raised approximately $22.2 million.  Also, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, Resource Capital Corp. (“RCC”) raised over $151 million in equity proceeds through two public follow-on offerings and its dividend reinvestment plan.
 
Significant Acquisitions:  In September and October 2010, RRE purchased four loans on behalf of RCC from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for $37.4 million with an existing joint venture partner.  These loans are secured by multifamily rental properties located in Washington DC, Willington and Mansfield Connecticut, and Decatur Georgia. In connection with these purchases, the Company received $377,000 in acquisition fees and will receive asset management and property management fees in the future.
 
Property Management: Resource Real Estate Management, Inc., the Company’s property management subsidiary, increased the apartment units it manages to 13,522 units at 50 properties as of September 30, 2010 from 12,794 units at 49 properties as of September 30, 2009.
 
 
LEASING:
 
Securitizations: Since May 2010, LEAF Financial Corporation (“LEAF”), on behalf of an affiliate for which it manages leasing portfolios, has completed four securitization transactions totaling $600 million, term funded through the issuance of contract-backed notes. LEAF will continue to service these securitization pools.
 
Financing: In September 2010, LEAF completed a short-term bridge financing, pursuant to which it may borrow up to $21.5 million as it originates equipment leases and loans.
 
 
FINANCIAL FUND MANAGEMENT:
 
Additional Management Engagements: In November 2010, a subsidiary of Resource Financial Fund Management, Inc. (“RFFM”) was awarded the management contract for an existing $255 million third-party collateralized debt obligation and will receive management fees in the future. In September 2010, a subsidiary of RFFM entered into a sub-advisory agreement to provide management and advisory services to an unrelated third-party for a $400 million loan portfolio. In connection with this agreement, the Company will receive advisory fees in the future.
 
Increased Revenues.  Financial fund management revenues increased 11% to $8.8 million for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $7.9 million for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.
 
 
CORPORATE:
 
Decreased Borrowings: As of September 30, 2010, the Company reduced its consolidated borrowings outstanding by $125.3 million, or 65%, to $66.1 million from $191.4 million at September 30, 2009.  This decrease primarily reflects the repayment and termination of the commercial finance credit facility, which had a $136.5 million balance at September 30, 2009.  At September 30, 2010, borrowings include $20.8 million in non-recourse short-term bridge financing for commercial finance, $14.1 million of corporate revolving debt, $14.3 million of senior notes, net of a discount, and $16.9 million of other debt, of which $13.5 million is in mortgage debt secured by the underlying properties.
 
Dividends.  The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the payment on October 29, 2010 of a $0.03 cash dividend per share on the Company’s common stock to holders of record as of the close of business on October 19, 2010.  RCC paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per common share for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

(1)
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders presents the Company’s operations without the effect of its commercial finance operations. The Company believes that this provides useful information to investors since it allows investors to evaluate the Company’s progress in both its real estate and financial fund management segments during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 separately from its commercial finance operations, which have been severely impacted by a reduction in liquidity and lack of availability of credit. Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders should not be considered as an alternative to (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP).  Instead, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders should be reviewed in connection with (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, to help analyze how the Company’s business is performing.
 
(2)
Loss (income) from commercial finance operations consists of revenues and expenses from commercial finance operations (including loss (gain) from sale of leases and loans, impairment of intangibles, provision for credit losses and depreciation and amortization) net of applicable tax benefits and non-controlling interests.
 
(3)
Dilutive shares used in the calculation of adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders per common share-diluted includes an additional 401,000 and 348,000 shares for the three months and fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, respectively, which were not used in the calculation of GAAP loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders per common share-diluted for those periods.
