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

Constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full 2014 projected net income, cash available for distribution and each individual line item presented herein could vary significantly from the
projections presented. Net income, CAD and each such item may fluctuate based upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the timing and amount of investments, repayments and
asset sales, capital raised, use of leverage, changes in the expected yield of investments and the overall conditions in commercial real estate and the economy generally. CAD per share does
not take into account any potential dilution from our outstanding convertible senior notes or warrants or equity compensation. The above projections assume for 2014: gross loan originations of
$900 million to $1.25 billion; Investment portfolios do not experience significant loan repayments; RAIT’s property portfolio performs at historical levels; and RAIT continues to receive its
securitization collateral management and property management fees.
(3)
Represents projected net income (loss) allocable to common shares for 2014 excluding the changes in fair value of financial instruments. For the six-months ended June 30, 2014, changes in
fair value of financial instruments was a loss of $63.5 million and net income allocable to common shares was a loss of $40.2 million.

Based on 80,636,895 weighted-average shares outstanding-diluted for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

RAIT Balance Sheet

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. 
Based on 82,507,410 common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2014. 
Based on 4,069,288 Series A preferred shares, 2,288,465 Series B preferred shares, and 1,640,100 Series C preferred shares outstanding as of June 30, 2014, all of which have a liquidation
preference of $25.00 per share.
