ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview
We are a specialized asset management company that uses industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through our our real estate, financial fund management and commercial finance subsidiaries as well as our joint ventures.. As a specialized asset manager, we seek to develop investment funds for outside investors for which we provide asset management services, typically under long-term management arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of, our sponsored investment funds. We typically maintain an investment in the funds we sponsor. As of December 31, 2012, we managed $15.3 billion of assets. We limit our fund development and management services to asset classes where we own existing operating companies or have specific expertise. We believe this strategy enhances the return on investment we can achieve for our funds. In our real estate operations, we concentrate on the ownership, operation and management of multifamily and commercial real estate and real estate mortgage loans including whole mortgage loans, first priority interests in commercial mortgage loans, known as A notes, subordinated interests in first mortgage loans, known as B notes, mezzanine loans, investments in discounted and distressed real estate loans and investments in "value-added" properties (properties which, although not distressed, need substantial improvements to reach their full investment potential). In our financial fund management operations, we concentrate on bank loans, trust preferred securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies, and asset backed securities, or ABS.
In our real estate segment, we have focused our efforts primarily on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate and real estate related debt that has been significantly discounted due to the effects of current economic conditions and high levels of leverage. We expect to continue to expand this business by raising investor funds through our retail broker channel for investment programs, principally through Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. which we refer to as RRE Opportunity REIT. In our financial fund management segment, our recent focus has primarily been the sponsorship and management of collateralized debt and loan obligations, or CDOs and CLOs. In addition, on April 17, 2012, we completed the sale of 100% of our equity interests in Apidos Capital Management, LLC, or Apidos, our CLO management subsidiary, to CVC Capital Partners SICAV-FIS, S.A., a private equity firm, or CVC. In connection with the transaction, we received $25.0 million in cash before transaction costs and partnership interests in a joint venture, CVC Credit Partners, L.P., or CVC Credit Partners, that includes the Apidos portfolios as well as the portfolios contributed by CVC. Additionally, we retained a preferred equity interest in Apidos, which entitles us to receive 75% of the incentive management fees from the legacy Apidos portfolios that were previously managed by us and are now managed by CVC Credit Partners. We recorded a $54.5 million net gain on the sale during fiscal 2012. Through our new joint venture, we closed Apidos CLO IX ($409.8 million of par value) in July 2012, Apidos CLO X ($450.0 million of par value) in November 2012 and Apidos CLO XI ($400.0 million of par value) in January 2013. For fiscal 2013, we expect to continue to focus on managing our existing assets as well as to continue to expand our CLO business through our joint venture.
We currently account for our interests in LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc., or LEAF, as an equity method investment. In addition, we have recorded provisions for credit losses of $4.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012 on our receivables due from three of our commercial finance investment funds based on reductions in their projected cash flows.
We recorded a consolidated net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to the provision for credit loss on receivables from our commercial finance investment funds.

Assets Under Management
We increased our assets under management by $2.0 billion to $15.3 billion at
December 31, 2012 from $13.3 billion at December 31, 2011. The following table
sets forth information relating to our assets under management by operating
segment (in millions, except percentages) (1):

(1) We describe how we calculate assets under management, in the notes to the third table of this section.

(2) The increase is primarily due to the $2.1 billion addition of the CVC portfolio contributed in April 2012 to CVC Credit Partners, our joint venture with CVC in which we own 33%, and the addition of Apidos CLO X ($450.0 million). This increase was offset, in part, by reductions in the eligible collateral bases of our ABS ($282.6 million), corporate loan ($166.4 million) and trust preferred portfolios ($287.2 million) resulting from defaults, paydowns, sales and calls.

Our assets under management are primarily managed through various investment entities including CDOs and CLOs, public and private limited partnerships, tenant-in-common, or TIC, property interest programs, two real estate investment trusts, or REITs, and other investment funds. All of our operating segments manage assets on behalf of Resource Capital Corp., or RSO. The following table sets forth the number of entities we manage by operating segment:

                                                                                     Other

Results of Operations: Real Estate
Through our real estate segment, we focus on four different areas:
• the acquisition, ownership and management of portfolios of discounted real estate and real estate related debt, which we have acquired through two sponsored real estate investment entities as well as through joint ventures with institutional investors;

•         the management of sponsored real estate investment entities that
          principally invest in multifamily housing;


•         the management, principally for RSO, of general investments in
          commercial real estate debt, including first mortgage debt, whole
          loans, mortgage participations, B notes, mezzanine debt and related
          commercial real estate securities; and

We support our real estate investment funds by making long-term investments in them. In addition, from time to time, we make bridge investments in the funds to facilitate acquisitions. We record losses on these equity method investments primarily as a result of depreciation and amortization expense recorded by the property interests. Fee income can be highly variable and, for fiscal 2013, will depend upon the success of RRE Opportunity REIT and the timing of its acquisitions.

Revenues - Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 as Compared to Three Months
Ended December31, 2011
Revenues from our real estate operations increased $4.5 million to $13.2 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  We attribute the increase
primarily to the following:
Management fees
•         a $377,000 increase in asset management fees, reflecting a $534,000
          increase in broker-dealer manager fees earned for raising funds for RRE
          Opportunity REIT, partly offset by a $217,000 increase in the discount
          recorded for management fees that we expect to receive in future
          periods;


•         a $388,000 increase in property management fees earned by our property
          manager, Resource Residential, reflecting a 4,063 unit increase (27%)
          in multifamily units under management to 19,267 units at December 31,
          2012 from 15,204 units at December 31, 2011; and

          management fees increased by $670,000 due to the increase in the equity
          of RSO upon which this fee is based. We also earned incentive
          management fees of $2.6 million during the three months ended December
          31, 2012, as compared to none for the same period last year. The
          incentive management fees are based on the adjusted operating earnings
          of RSO, which vary by quarter.
