generally not within RAIT’s control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with
respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. RAIT does not guarantee that the
assumptions underlying such forward looking statements are free from errors. Actual results may differ materially
from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or
other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: the risk factors discussed and identified in filings by
RAIT with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including, without limitation, RAIT’s most recent annual
and quarterly reports filed with SEC. 
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
of this presentation. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to RAIT or any person
acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in
this document and the related presentation. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, RAIT
undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of this presentation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Constitutes forward-looking information.  Actual full year 2012-2013 projected cash received from investments and each individual line item presented herein, could vary significantly from
the projections presented.  The above projections assume: Investment portfolios increase from March 31, 2012 levels by the reinvestment of available cash in the RAIT II securitization
and generate cash at historical levels; RAIT does not raise additional capital; RAIT continues to receive its securitization collateral management fees and generates property management
fees and loan origination fees from third parties at historical levels; RAIT’s sponsored non-traded REITs experience significant growth in their investment portfolios by the end of the period
covered and the identified cash uses remain at historical levels.

Management views adjusted book value as a useful and appropriate supplement to shareholders’ equity and book value per share. The
measure serves as an additional measure of our value because it facilitates evaluation of us without the effects of various items that we are
required to record in accordance with GAAP but which have limited economic impact on our business.  Those adjustments primarily reflect the
effect of consolidated securitizations where we do not currently receive cash flows on our retained interests, accumulated depreciation and
amortization, the valuation of long-term derivative instruments and a valuation of our recurring collateral and property management fees. 
Adjusted book value is a non-GAAP financial measurement, and does not purport to be an alternative to reported shareholders’ equity,
determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of book value. Adjusted book value should be reviewed in connection with shareholders’
equity as set forth in our consolidated balance sheets, to help analyze our value to investors. Adjusted book value may be defined in various
ways throughout the REIT industry. Investors should consider these differences when comparing our adjusted  book value to that of other
REITs.
