This document and the related presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
about RAIT Financial Trust’s (“RAIT”) plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations,
products, dividends, cash from investments and services and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-
looking statements are sometimes identified by the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “potential”, “predict”, “continue”,
“project”, “guide”, or other similar words or expressions.  These forward-looking statements are based upon the current
beliefs and expectations of RAIT's management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and 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.
This document and the related presentation may contain non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
financial measures.  A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure is included in this document and/or RAIT’s most recent annual and quarterly reports.

(d)
Retail rental rate of $6.69 per square foot for Q2 2011 was lower than contractual rates due to certain one-time leasing adjustments.  Without these one-time items, the Q2 2011 retail rental
rate would have been approximately $8.53 per square foot.  This translates into a 46% increase in rental rates on our retail portfolio from Q2 2011 through Q2 2012

(1)
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 remain static with June 30, 2012 balances 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.
