RESOURCE AMERICA, INC.
REPORTS OPERATING RESULTS
FOR THE SECOND FISCAL QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2011

Philadelphia, PA, May 4, 2011 - Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI) (the "Company”) reported an adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, of $675,000, or $0.03 per common share-diluted, and $1.0 million, or $0.05 per common share-diluted, for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to an adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $880,000, or $0.05 per common share-diluted, and $752,000, or $0.04 per common share-diluted, for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. A reconciliation of the Company’s reported GAAP loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders to adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, is included as Schedule I to this release.

For the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2011, the Company reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders of $4.3 million, or $0.22 per common share-diluted, and $4.8 million, or $0.25 per common share-diluted, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million, or $0.06 per common share-diluted, and  $261,000, or $0.01 per common share-diluted, for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.  Included in GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2011 was a $2.2 million charge, net of tax, to discontinued operations related to a previously sold real estate asset.
 
Jonathan Cohen, CEO and President, commented, “During our second quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company continues to make progress and has now begun to grow again.  Assets under management increased over $600 million from a year ago and revenues increased substantially from last quarter, and growth prospects appear to have been revived in REIT and CLO offerings which have been a key driver to our company’s asset growth.  Our balance sheet is in good shape with approximately $16.5 million in cash and after the closing of our non-core real estate sale in June (under contract now) we expect to book a gain of $8.5 million and take in approximately $17 million of additional cash after taxes.”

Highlights for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2011 and Recent Developments

 
REAL ESTATE:
 
®
Fundraising:  Resource Real Estate, Inc. (“RRE”), the Company's real estate operating segment, has sponsored and is the external manager of Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (“RRE Opportunity REIT”), which is a public non-traded real estate program.  Through April 29, 2011, RRE Opportunity REIT has raised approximately $40.2 million and made the acquisition described below during the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011.
 
®
Acquisition:  In March 2011, RRE purchased a $3.1 million portfolio consisting of four loans on behalf of RRE Opportunity REIT, each of which is secured by a first priority mortgage on a multifamily residential apartment community.  In connection with this purchase, the Company received a $64,000 acquisition fee and will receive management fees and debt servicing fees on two of the loans in the future.
 
®
Resolution of Equity Interest: In March 2011, RRE, along with an existing joint venture partner, sold its interest in an apartment building in Lafayette, IN and received proceeds of $282,000.
 
®
Property Management: Resource Real Estate Management, Inc., the Company’s property management subsidiary, increased the apartment units it manages to 14,913 units at 52 properties as of March 31, 2011 from 14,456 units at 54 properties as of March 31, 2010.

 
FINANCIAL FUND MANAGEMENT:
 
®
CLO Award Nomination: Apidos Capital Management, LLC (“Apidos”), the Company’s leveraged loan manager, has been selected as a finalist for several Creditflux CLO manager awards. Apidos is a finalist in the categories of Best 2007 US CLO, Best 2006 US CLO and Best 2005 US CLO. It is the only finalist that has been nominated in all three of these categories.  Apidos has also been nominated for Best US CLO manager.
 
®
New Management Agreement: In February 2011, in connection with the acquisition by Resource Capital Corp. ("RSO") of Churchill Pacific Asset Management LLC, which was renamed Resource Capital Asset Management, LLC (“RCAM”), Apidos was appointed sub-advisor and agent to advise RCAM in connection with its collateral management and collateral administration duties under five collateral management agreements.  In connection with the services provided, Apidos will receive 10% of all base and additional collateral management fees and 50% of incentive management fees collected by RCAM.


COMMERCIAL FINANCE:
 
®
In January 2011, LEAF Financial Corporation (“LEAF”), the Company’s commercial finance operating segment, raised or obtained commitments for up to approximately $236 million of equity and debt capital to expand its leasing platform through its new lease origination and servicing subsidiary, LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. ("LEAF Commercial").  LEAF Commercial is a joint venture among LEAF, RSO and Guggenheim Securities, LLC ("Guggenheim").  RSO and Guggenheim committed to investing up to $44 million of capital in the form of preferred stock and subordinated debt into LEAF Commercial.  In addition, Guggenheim has arranged a new financing facility for LEAF Commercial of up to $192 million in revolving senior debt to fund new originations.
 
®
Lease Origination/Platform Expansion: LEAF Commercial continues to focus its origination efforts to better serve its equipment vendor customers, support its independent equipment dealers and enhance its manufacturer branch networks through its full service processing center in Moberly, MO. In addition, through its Philadelphia, PA processing center, LEAF Commercial will support the captive finance arms of its manufacturer clients, as well as bank outsourcing and direct marketing to end users in select vertical markets.
 
®
Increased Key Metrics: As a result of the capital raise announced in January 2011 and the refocusing of resources on the expansion of the platform, our commercial finance operation has shown significant increases in key business metrics for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010:
 
 
Credit Applications – up 31%

Approved Backlog  – up 79%
 
®

®
Securitizations: Since May 2010, LEAF has completed five securitization transactions totaling $700 million on behalf of affiliates for which it manages leasing portfolios.  These transactions have been term funded through the issuance of contract-backed notes and LEAF will continue to service these securitization pools.

For comparability purposes, the Company is presenting adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders because it facilitates the evaluation of the Company’s underlying operating performance without the effect of adjustments that do not directly relate to that performance.  Adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders should not be considered as an alternative to loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP).  Instead, adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders should be reviewed in connection with loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, to help analyze how the Company’s business is performing.
