NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's accounts and the accounts of the Company's majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-2, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . The determination of whether or not to consolidate entities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires significant judgment. To make these judgments, management performs an entity-by-entity analysis with consideration of (i) whether the Company has a variable interest in the entity, (ii) whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and (iii) whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
When determining whether the Company has a variable interest in entities it evaluates for consolidation, the Company considers interests in the entities and fees it receives to act as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If the Company determines that it does not have a variable interest in an entity, no further consolidation analysis is performed as the Company would not be required to consolidate the entity. Fees received by the Company are not variable interests if (i) the fees are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, (ii) the service arrangement includes only terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length and (iii) the Company's other economic interests in the VIE held directly and indirectly through its related parties, as well as economic interests held by related parties under common control, where applicable, would not absorb more than an insignificant amount of the entity’s losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the entity’s benefits. If fees paid to the Company were determined to be a variable interest, it could result in the Company being the primary beneficiary of and thus consolidating the entity being evaluated. Evaluation of these criteria requires judgment.

For those entities in which it has a variable interest, the Company performs an analysis to first determine whether the entity is a VIE. This determination includes considering whether the entity’s equity investment at risk is sufficient, whether the voting rights of an investor are not proportional to its obligation to absorb the income or loss of the entity and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of that investor and its related parties, and whether the entity’s at risk equity holders have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.

The Company is the general partner/manager of and has a variable interest in certain limited partnerships and similar entities. One of the factors that the Company considers in evaluating whether these entities are VIEs is whether a simple majority (or lower threshold) of limited partners with equity at risk are able to exercise substantive kick-out rights. Kick-out rights are generally defined as the ability to remove the general partner/manager or to dissolve the entity without cause. Generally, if the limited partners with equity at risk are not able to exercise substantive kick-out rights, the entity is a VIE unless the limited partners have been granted substantive participating rights. The Company is also the manager of and has a variable interest in certain entities other than limited partnerships. One of the factors that the Company considers in evaluating whether these entities are VIEs is whether the investors have power through voting rights or similar rights (such as those of a common shareholder in a corporation); and if not, whether a single equity holder has the unilateral ability to exercise substantive kick-out rights. If investors do not have power through voting rights or similar rights or a single equity holder does not have the unilateral ability to exercise substantive kick-out rights, then the entity is a VIE. These analyses require judgment.

A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company would be deemed to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it and its related parties under common control as a group, where applicable, have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For purposes of evaluating (ii) above, fees paid to the Company are excluded if the fees are compensation for services provided commensurate with the level of effort required to be performed and the arrangement includes only customary terms, conditions or amounts present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length. This analysis requires judgment.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates
Preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting period. The Company makes estimates of its allowance for credit losses, the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, discounts and collectability of management fees, the valuation of stock-based compensation, and in determining whether a decrease in the fair value of an investment is an other-than-temporary impairment. The real estate and financial fund management segments make assumptions in determining the fair value of investments in investment securities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Financing Receivables - Receivables from Managed Entities
The Company performs a review of the collectability of its receivables from managed entities on a quarterly basis, by analyzing future cash flows by managed entity.  Management fees are recorded net of a discount to the extent that they are anticipated to be collected in excess of one year. With respect to the receivables from its commercial finance investment partnerships, this takes into consideration several assumptions by management, primarily concerning estimates of future bad debts and recoveries.  For receivables from its real estate investment entities, the Company estimates the cash flows through the sale of the underlying properties based on projected net operating income as a multiple of published capitalization rates, as reduced by the underlying mortgage balances and priority distributions due to the investors.
Investment Securities
The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale, including investments in the CLO and CDO issuers it sponsored, are carried at fair value.  The fair value of the CLO and CDO investments is based primarily on internally-generated expected cash flow models that require significant management judgment and estimates due to the lack of market activity and the use of unobservable pricing inputs.  Investments in affiliated entities, including the Company's holdings in The Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBBK), RSO, Resource Credit Income Fund ("CIF") (NASDAQ: RCIIX), and Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund ("DIF") (NASDAQ: RREDX), are valued at the closing prices of the respective publicly-traded stocks.  The Company sold its investment in Resource Real Estate Global Property Securities ("RREGPS"), a Company-sponsored Australian investment fund, in July 2015. The cumulative net unrealized gains (losses) on these investment securities, net of tax, is reported through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Realized gains (and losses) on the sale of investments are determined on the trade date on the basis of specific identification and are included in net operating results. Securities that are held principally for resale in the near term (trading securities) are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.
Hedging - Foreign Currency Risk and Forward Contracts
The Company has an exposure to foreign currency risk with respect to advances made to CVC Credit Partners that are repayable in Euros (see Note 15).  To mitigate the foreign currency risk, the Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts (see Note 18).  Forward contracts represent future commitments to deliver a quantity of a currency at a predetermined future date and rate to manage currency risk.  Financial derivatives are initially recognized in the balance sheet at fair value and subsequently measured at their fair value on each balance sheet date. The forward contracts are not designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and, accordingly, any changes in fair value of the contracts are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Similarly, any changes in the fair value of the Euro-based loan receivable are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2016 presentation.
Recent Accounting Standards
Newly-Adopted Accounting Standards
The Company’s adoption of the following standards during the six months ended June 30, 2016 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows:

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The guidance was retrospectively applied as of January 1, 2016, which resulted in the reclassification of $214,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs from Other Assets to Borrowings, Net within the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items , which eliminates from GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings per share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently will be retained. This guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP.  The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services.  The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, including interim periods in 2018, and allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period . ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. This guidance, effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting , which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 is effective for the Company January 1, 2017 and interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The goal of this update is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update becomes effective beginning January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company adjusted its assumptions with respect to the fair value calculations of its CLO securities based on a change in market conditions, principally the reinvestment price was increased from 99.0 to 99.5 , the post reinvestment price was increased from 99.0 to 99.75 and the discount rate was increased to 17% , which resulted in an impairment charge of $901,000 . In 2015, the Company adjusted its assumptions by increasing the constant default rate in year one and two and decreasing the prepayment speed in year one which resulted in an impairment charge of $331,000 .

The unrealized losses in RSO common stock reflected in the above table are considered to be a temporary impairment due to market factors and not reflective of credit deterioration. Further, because of its intent and ability to hold its investment in RSO, the Company does not consider the unrealized losses to be an other-than-temporary impairment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company invested $2.0 million in the Innovation Office REIT, $2.0 million in Apartment REIT III and $2.5 million in Pearlmark. The investment balances reflected in the above table include the Company's equity in the earnings (losses) of the entities, as reduced by any distributions received. Included in real estate investment entities is the Company's $2.5 million investment in Opportunity REIT I, which completed its initial public offering in December 2013, a $1.3 million investment in Opportunity REIT II, which completed its offering in February 2016, a $2.2 million investment in Innovation Office REIT and a $2.2 million investment in Resource Apartment REIT III. The Company accounts for its investments in the Opportunity REITs, Innovation Office REIT and Apartment REIT III on the cost method. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had an investment in Pearlmark of $6.7 million , inclusive of an initial $378,000 general partner contribution to a newly-formed Pearlmark-sponsored fund. The Company accounts for its investment in Pearlmark on the equity method of accounting. The Company has commitments with respect to some of these investments (see Note 19).
Included in financial fund management partnerships is the Company's $3.7 million of investments in several managed credit funds, $2.5 million of investments in the RFIG partnerships which hold investments in financial institutions and a $725,000 investment in RCM Global, LLC ("RCM Global"), a venture between the Company and RSO that holds a portfolio of available-for-sale securities.
Investment in Unconsolidated Loan Manager - CVC Credit Partners . In April 2012, the Company sold its equity interests in Apidos Capital Management, LLC ("Apidos") to CVC Capital Partners SICAV-FIS, S.A., a private equity firm (“CVC”), in exchange for (i) $25.0 million in cash, (ii) a 33% limited partner interest in CVC Credit Partners, a Cayman Islands limited partnership jointly owned by the Company and CVC, and (iii) a 33% interest in CVC Credit Partners' general partner, a Jersey corporation.  The Company also retained a preferred equity interest in Apidos, which entitles it to receive distributions from CVC Credit Partners equal to 75% of the incentive management fees from the legacy Apidos portfolios. These investments are reflected as Investments in Unconsolidated Loan Manager on the consolidated balance sheets and the Company records its equity share of the operating results of CVC Credit Partners in Financial fund management revenues.
    
In accordance with the CVC Credit Partners shareholders' agreement, in July 2015, CVC exercised its option to purchase a 9% portion of the Company's interest in the joint venture, which reduced the Company's LP interest to 24% . In conjunction with the buydown, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.3 million on its investment in CVC Credit Partners during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The purchase price, an agreed upon formulaic option price based on finalized 2014 results of the joint venture, was not indicative of its fair value. The remaining interests held by the Company were valued by a third-party valuation firm, which concluded that the fair value exceeded the book value and, as such, there was no further impairment.

The Company accounts for its preferred interest in Apidos on the cost method. As incentive fees are received, in accordance with its preferred interest, the Company receives a distribution of 75% of those amounts which will initially be recorded as income, net of any contractual amounts due to third-parties. Each quarter the Company evaluates the book value of the investment by estimating the fair value of the expected future cash flows from the incentive management fees. To the extent that the estimated fair value of future cash flows is less than the cost basis of the investment, such shortfall will be recorded as a reduction of the preferred interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as a result of cash payouts from three legacy Apidos CLOs that were called, the Company's preferred interest was reduced by $2.8 million to $4.0 million . At such time that the investment has been reduced to zero, all subsequent distributions will be recorded as income.
The Company evaluates all of these investments for impairment on a quarterly basis. There were no identified events that had a significant adverse effect on these investments and, as such, no impairment was recorded.

NOTE 8 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In general, a VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its operations without additional subordinated financial support, or an entity for which the risks and rewards of ownership are not directly linked to voting interests. The Company has variable interests in VIEs through its management contracts and investments in various securitization entities, including CLO and CDO issuers and through equity interests. The Company serves as the asset manager for the investment entities it sponsored and manages. The management fees the Company earns are excluded from its VIE determination as long as the fees are commensurate with the level of effort provided, are market based and similar to what a third party would charge for similar services, and the Company's other interests in the VIE are not significant. If the entity is deemed to be a VIE, the Company must then evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of the entity.

Trading Portfolio
From time to time, the Company may have an interest in a VIE through the investments it makes as part of its trading activities.  Because of the high volume of trading activity the Company experiences, the Company does not perform a formal assessment of each individual investment within its trading portfolio to determine if the investee is a VIE and if the Company is a primary beneficiary.  Even if the Company were to obtain a variable interest in a VIE through its trading portfolio, the Company would not typically be deemed to be the primary beneficiary as it does not usually obtain the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the investee’s financial performance.  In the extremely unlikely case that the Company obtained the power to direct and held a significant variable interest in an investee in its trading portfolio that was a VIE, any such control would be temporary due to the rapid turnover within the trading portfolio. 

Consolidated VIE - Pelium
Pelium is a VIE that the Company manages and in which it has invested $5.0 million for a 20% limited partner interest. Based on its evaluation, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary and, as such, consolidates Pelium. However, the assets of Pelium are held solely to satisfy Pelium's obligations and the creditors of Pelium have no recourse against the assets of the Company. The following are the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of Pelium that are reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

In addition, the Company has investments in and manages the structured finance entities that hold investments in asset-backed securities (“Ischus entities”) and trust preferred assets (“Trapeza entities”). All of these entities were determined to be VIEs that the Company does not consolidate as it does not have the obligation of, or right to, losses or earnings that would be significant to those entities. The Company has not provided financial or other support to these VIEs and has no liabilities, contingent liabilities, or guarantees (implicit or explicit) related to these VIEs at June 30, 2016 .

The amount of the TD facility shown has been reduced by $503,000 for an outstanding letter of credit at June 30, 2016 .
Corporate and Real Estate Debt
TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”) .  In March 2011, the Company entered into a line of credit loan agreement with TD Bank that, through April 24, 2014, allowed for borrowings up to $7.5 million with interest at either (a) the prime rate plus 2.25% or (b) a specified London Interbank Offered Rate (" LIBOR ") plus 3% . The interest rate used varies from one to six month LIBOR depending upon the period of the borrowing. In April 2014, the Company amended the TD Bank facility to (i) extend the maturity date to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the Company's management agreement with RSO or (b) December 31, 2017 , (ii) increase the maximum borrowing amount to $11.5 million provided that the Company maintains an aggregate value of pledged securities of $6.0 million and (iii) require that the Company have no cash advances outstanding for thirty consecutive days during each one -year period beginning on April 25, 2014 . In January 2016, due to a market decline in the value of the pledged securities, availability under the line of credit was reduced to $7.5 million .
The Company is charged an annual fee of 0.5% on the unused facility amount as well as a 5.25% fee on a $503,000 outstanding letter of credit. Borrowings are secured by a first priority security interest in certain of the Company's assets and the guarantees of certain subsidiaries, including (i) the present and future fees and investment income earned in connection with the management of, and investments in, sponsored CDOs and CLOs, (ii) a pledge of 18,972 shares of TBBK common stock, and (iii) a pledge of 540,168 shares of RSO common stock held by the Company.      
There were no borrowings outstanding on the TD facility as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .
Republic First Bank (“Republic Bank”). In February 2011, the Company entered into a $3.5 million revolving credit facility with Republic Bank.  The facility bears interest at the prime rate of interest plus 1% with a floor of 4.5% .  The loan is secured by a pledge of 175,000 shares of RSO common stock held by the Company and a first priority security interest in an office building located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ( see Note 5 ).  Availability under this facility is limited to the lesser of (a) the sum of (i) 25% of the appraised value of the real estate, based upon the most recent appraisal delivered to the bank and (ii) 100% of the cash and 75% of the market value of the pledged RSO shares held in the pledged account; and (b) 100% of the cash and 100% of the market value of the pledged RSO shares held in the pledged account.  The loan has an unused annual facility fee equal to 0.25% . In November 2013, the Company further amended this facility to extend the maturity date to December 28, 2016 and increase the unused annual facility fee to 0.5% . There were no borrowings under this facility as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the availability was $2.3 million and $2.2 million , respectively.

Senior Notes
The Company's $10.0 million of 9% senior notes (the "Senior Notes") mature on March 31, 2018 . The effective interest rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was 9.1% . The Company may early redeem all or part of the Senior Notes upon notification to the note holders at the redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid interest through to the date of such redemption. The redemption price prior to March 31, 2017 is at a 101% premium to par.
Other Debt - Real Estate and Corporate
Real estate - mortgage. The Company has a mortgage on its hotel property in Savannah, Georgia. The 6.36% fixed rate mortgage matures in September 2021 and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $71,331 . The principal balance outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $9.8 million and $9.9 million , respectively.

Covenants
The TD Bank credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants, which are customary for the type and size of the facility, including debt service coverage and debt to equity ratios. The debt to equity ratio restricts the amount of recourse debt the Company can incur based on a ratio of recourse debt to net worth.
The covenant for the mortgage on the Company's hotel property requires maintaining a minimum debt coverage ratio. In addition, although non-recourse in nature, the loan is subject to limited standard exceptions (or "carveouts") which the Company has guaranteed. These carveouts will expire as the loan is paid down over the next five years. The Company has control over the operations of the underlying property, which mitigates the potential risk associated with these carveouts and, accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. To date, the Company has not been required to make any carveout payments.
The Company was in compliance with all of its financial debt covenants as of June 30, 2016 .

NOTE 11 - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and all other changes in the equity of a business from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  These changes, other than net income (loss), are referred to as “other comprehensive income (loss)” and for the Company include primarily changes in the fair value, net of tax, of its investment securities available-for-sale and the pension liability.

The Company waived management fees from its commercial finance investment entities of $0 and $7,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and $31,000 and $80,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 .
    
Relationship with RSO .  Since March 2005, the Company has had a management agreement with RSO pursuant to which it provides certain services, including investment management and certain administrative services, to RSO.  The agreement, which had an original maturity date of March 31, 2009, continues to renew automatically for one -year terms unless at least two-thirds of the independent directors or a majority of the outstanding common shareholders agree to not renew it.  The Company receives a base management fee, incentive compensation, property management fees and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.  The base management fee is equal to 1/12th of the amount of RSO’s equity, as defined by the management agreement, multiplied by 1.50%.  In October 2009, February 2010 and March 2012, the management agreement was further amended such that RSO directly reimburses the Company for the wages and benefits of RSO's chief financial officer as well as an executive officer who devotes all of his time to serve as RSO’s chairman of the board, and a sufficient number of accounting professionals, each of whom will be exclusively dedicated to RSO's operations (number and amounts charged are reviewed and approved by RSO's Board of Directors), and a director of investor relations who is 50% dedicated to RSO's operations.  In August 2010, the agreement was further amended to reduce the incentive management fee earned by the Company for any fees paid directly by RSO to employees, agents and/or affiliates of the Company with respect to profits earned by a taxable REIT subsidiary of RSO.
The Company earned a $2.3 million structuring and placement fee for underwriting a European CLO with a total par value of €413.0 million for an unrelated third-party collateral manager. RSO purchased €12.5 million of the subordinated note tranche of this CLO.
Relationship with Opportunity REIT I. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had a receivable/ (prepayment) of $(106,000) and $277,000 , respectively, from Opportunity REIT I for reimbursement of operating costs and expenses.

Relationship with Opportunity REIT II. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had a receivable of $205,000 and $4.9 million , respectively, from Opportunity REIT II for offering costs and operating expense reimbursements.

Relationship with Innovation Office REIT. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the Company had a receivable of $4.3 million and $2.4 million , respectively, from the Innovation Office REIT for reimbursement of offering costs and expenses.

Relationship with Resource Apartment REIT III. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the Company had a receivable of $1.4 million and $739,000 , respectively, from the Resource Apartment REIT III for reimbursement of offering costs and expenses.
Relationship with CVC Credit Partners. On January 13, 2016, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with CVC Credit Partners which provides for borrowings of up to €3.6 million with interest accruing at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (" EURIBOR ") plus 7% . In February 2016 and March 2016, CVC Credit Partners borrowed a total of €2.4 million under this new loan. The Company has consulted with hedging and derivative professionals and has utilized hedging instruments in order to minimize FX exposure.
In February 2014, the Company loaned a non-executive employee $300,000 under a promissory note bearing interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 3% , resetting annually. In December 2014, the Company amended the terms of the note to provide for an initial repayment of $50,000 plus accrued interest, which was paid on March 15, 2015. The remaining principal and interest was repaid in full prior to the final due date on March 8, 2016.

NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE
In analyzing the fair value of its assets and liabilities accounted for on a fair value basis, the Company follows the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities are categorized into one of three levels based on the assumptions (inputs) used in valuing the asset or liability. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 − Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. 
Level 2 − Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3 − Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and that are, consequently, not based on market activity, but upon particular valuation techniques.
There were no transfers between any of the levels within the fair value hierarchy for any of the periods presented.
The following is a discussion of the assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, as well as the valuation techniques applied to each fair value measurement and the estimates and assumptions used by the Company in those measurements.
Investment securities. The Company uses quoted market prices to value its investments in RSO, DIF, CIF and TBBK common stock (Level 1).
The fair value of the Company's investments in CLO and CDO securities are based on internally-generated expected cash flow models that require significant management judgments and estimates due to the lack of market activity and unobservable pricing inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement include the constant prepayment rate ("CPR"), a probability of default ("CDR"), severity rate, reinvestment price on underlying collateral and the discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the default or discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, whereas significant increases (decreases) in the recovery rate, prepayment rate or reinvestment price in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.  Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the discount rate and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates, recovery rates and reinvestment prices on underlying collateral.  As of June 30, 2016 , the Company held six securities of value within its trading portfolio, five of which were debt/equity investments in externally managed CDO issuers and one was a term loan (Level 3).
Investment in Apidos-CVC preferred stock and contractual commitment . The Company's estimated contractual commitment associated with its investment in the Apidos-CVC preferred stock was valued at $345,000 at June 30, 2016 based on the present value of the underlying discounted projected cash flows of the legacy Apidos incentive management fees (Level 3).

For cash, receivables and payables, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Company estimated the fair value of the real estate debt using current interest rates for similar loans and estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes by applying the percentage appreciation in a high-yield fund with similar quality and risk attributes as the Senior Notes. The carrying value of the Company's other debt was estimated using current interest rates for similar loans at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .

NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of June 30, 2016 , except for executive compensation, the Company did not believe it was probable that any payments would be required under any of its contingencies and, accordingly, no liabilities were recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company's commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:
Corporate
Broker-dealer capital requirement.   Resource Securities serves as a dealer-manager for the sale of securities of direct participation investment programs, both public and private, sponsored by subsidiaries of the Company who also serve as general partners and/or managers of these programs.  Additionally, Resource Securities serves as an introducing agent for transactions involving sales of securities of financial services companies, REITs and insurance companies for the Company and for RSO.  As a broker-dealer, Resource Securities is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined in regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which was $100,000 and $259,000 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , Resource Securities net capital was $1.1 million and $1.0 million , respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $951,000 and $780,000 , respectively.
Legal proceedings .  On June 15, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit, Gansman v. Resource America, Inc., et al., Case No. 160601492, was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County by a purported stockholder of Resource America that names the Company, its board of directors, C-III and Merger Sub as defendants. On July 11, 2016, the plaintiff filed a stipulation with the Court seeking an order discontinuing the action without prejudice.

On July 14, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit, Gansman v. Resource America, Inc., et al., Case No. 16-3820, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and names the Company, its board of directors, C-III and Merger Sub as defendants. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the transaction and alleges, among other things, that the definitive proxy statement the Company distributed in connection with the Company’s upcoming special meeting of stockholders being held to approve the proposed merger with C-III omits material information regarding the sale process followed by the Company, the negotiation of the definitive merger agreement with C-III and certain analyses prepared by the Company’s financial advisor. The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit.
The Company is also a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or operations.

Executive compensation. The Company is also party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and other benefits, including severance payments under specified circumstances.
Financial fund management
Clawback liability.  One of the Company's structured finance partnerships that invests in public and private regional banks has a potential clawback of up to 75% of the management fees paid to the Company ( $1.4 million as of June 30, 2016 ) to the extent that the limited partners’ aggregate capital contributions exceed the total partner distributions from the fund.  As of June 30, 2016 , the fair value of the fund's assets were sufficient to cover the distribution requirement and, as such, no liability has been recorded for this contingency.
Capital commitments. In connection with the Company's investment in CVC Credit Partners, and in its capacity as the fund manager for some of its managed accounts/funds, the Company is contractually committed to invest capital along with third-party investors. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2016 , the Company’s pro-rata portion of the unfunded capital commitments totaled $4.7 million across five such funds/accounts. The Company expects these unfunded commitments to be called over the next two years.
Real estate
REIT capital commitments. As a specialized asset manager, the Company sponsors and manages investment funds in which it may make an equity investment along with outside investors.  These equity investments are generally based on a percentage of funds raised and varies among investment programs.   The liability for these commitments will be recorded in the future as the amounts become due and payable.
Pearlmark joint venture capital commitments. In connection with the Pearlmark joint venture, the Company was committed to and has funded a total of $8.0 million as of June 30, 2016 . This funding is reflected as the Company's investment in Pearlmark and will have a preference in distributions, plus a 10% internal rate of return, from the joint venture before any monies will be distributed to the other investors. In July 2016, the Company and its joint venture partner each funded an additional $500,000 for working capital purposes.
In connection with the formation of Pearlmark's first fund offering, Pearlmark Mezzanine Realty Partners IV, L.P., the Company is committed to contribute up to a maximum of $1.7 million as a General Partner of the fund. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company has funded $378,000 of that commitment and will record a commitment in the future as additional amounts are called.
Commercial finance
Commercial finance partnership guarantee. In connection with the sale of a portfolio of leases and notes by one of the Company's former commercial finance partnerships, Company has guaranteed that it will reimburse the buyer in the event that one of the leases in the portfolio fails to make a $183,000 balloon payment on or before July 25, 2018. As of June 30, 2016 , the lease is current and there is no indication that the payment will not be made timely; accordingly, no liability has been recorded for this contingency.

NOTE 20 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

NOTE 21 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS         
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016 and determined that, other than the pending merger with C-III (see Note 1), there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
Resource America is an asset management company that specializes in real estate and credit investments. We use industry specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through 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 June 30, 2016 , we managed or co-managed $23.0 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 real estate loans and investments in “value-added” properties (properties which require 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 portfolio of commercial real estate and real estate related debt as well as value-added multifamily investments. In 2013, we completed the public offering for Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT I, Inc., which we refer to as Opportunity REIT I, having raised total equity of $635.0 million (including proceeds of a private offering). We increased our assets under management during 2014 and 2015 by raising investor funds through our retail broker channel for investment programs, principally for Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT II, Inc., which we refer to as Opportunity REIT II. The fundraising for Opportunity REIT II closed on February 5, 2016, with total funds raised of $556.0 million. On April 28, 2016, Resource Apartment REIT III, Inc., or Apartment REIT III, for which we anticipate raising up to $1.0 billion in equity to manage a portfolio of value-added apartment communities, was declared effective by the SEC and will commence fundraising during the third quarter of 2016.
             
We commenced fundraising for Resource Innovation Office REIT, Inc., or Innovation Office REIT, in the second quarter of 2016.  This $1.0 billion offering will focus on acquiring commercial office buildings.
             
We expect that capital raising through our independent broker-dealer channel to continue to remain robust notwithstanding regulatory changes such as the implementation of FINRA Regulatory Notice 15-02 regarding broker-dealer valuation of non-traded REIT securities on customer account statements and the Department of Labor’s recent proposal on a fiduciary standard for retirement accounts.
             
During 2013, we launched Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, or DIF, a publicly-offered, alternative real estate income mutual fund that invests across global securities, credit and unlisted real estate funds.  We continue to expand our syndication of broker-dealers and clearing firms. The DIF has raised $131.4 million.

              During 2014, we launched Resource Credit Income Fund, or CIF, a publicly-offered, alternative mutual fund that will invest in the debt of small- to middle-market companies with a focus on senior and subordinated debt.  As of June 30, 2016 , the fund has raised $2.8 million (including our $1.7 million investment). We continue to build our syndicate of broker-dealers and clearing firms.
    As of June 2016, we have invested $8.0 million into a joint venture with the principals of Pearlmark Real Estate Partners, LLC to sponsor and manage private institutional real estate funds. The joint venture, Pearlmark Real Estate, LLC, or Pearlmark, focuses on managing institutional real estate investments.
In our financial fund management segment, we continue to focus primarily on the sponsorship and management of collateralized loan obligation, or CLO, issuers, and the management of legacy collateralized debt obligation, or CDO, issuers. Through our joint venture, CVC Credit Partners L.P., or CVC Credit Partners, we have closed 18 CLOs with a total par value of approximately $9.2 billion since the formation of the joint venture in 2012. We continue to focus on managing our existing assets and expanding our CLO and separately managed account activities through our joint venture.
    
In our commercial finance operations, our lease origination and servicing platform is managed by our joint venture, LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc., or LEAF, in which we currently own a 13.2% interest. As of June 30, 2016 , LEAF managed $864.0 million of commercial leases and notes. In addition, in May 2016. LEAF Financial Corporation, or LEAF Financial, our wholly-

38


owned subsidiary, liquidated the remaining commercial lease investment partnership of the four that it had originally sponsored and managed (one had been previously liquidated in July 2015 and two others in 2014).
Our consolidated net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders was ( $272,000 ) and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 .
Merger Agreement
On May 22, 2016, we entered into a Merger Agreement with C-III Capital Partners LLC, or C-III, and Regent Acquisition Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of C-III, or Merger Sub. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merge with and into us, with Resource America continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger. At the effective time of the merger, each share of Resource America common stock will be automatically converted into the right to receive $9.78 per share in cash. Acquisition related expenses, which totaled $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , are reflected as Transaction costs in the consolidated statements of operations. The merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016.

Assets Under Management
We increased our assets under management by $1.2 billion to $23.0 billion at June 30, 2016 from $21.8 billion at June 30, 2015 . 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 $728.0 million net increase in financial fund management assets primarily reflects an $866.0 million net increase in assets managed by CVC Credit Partners, and a $852.0 million investment in a new joint venture that manages a portfolio of securitized defaulted home equity assets, offset, in part, by a $(499.0) million decrease in the CLOs we manage on behalf of RSO and a $(429.0) million reduction in our ABS portfolio.
(3)
The $386.0 million net increase in real estate assets primarily reflects a $609.0 million increase in Opportunity REIT II assets in conjunction with the completion of its equity raise, offset, in part, by a $(271.0) million decrease in the assets managed by our real estate partnerships as some of the earlier funds have reached the end of their stated terms and are being liquidated.
(4)
Net assets under management represents the proportionate share of assets we manage after reflecting joint venture arrangements. At June 30, 2016, net assets reflects our 24% interest in CVC Credit Partners, L.P. (“CCP”), our global joint venture, while net assets as of June 30, 2015 reflected our 33% interest in CCP.

39


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; three REITs, and other investment funds.

The revenues in each of our operating segments are generated by the fees we earn for structuring and managing the investment entities we sponsored on behalf of individual and institutional investors and RSO, and the income produced by the assets and investments we manage for our own account.

Results of Operations:  Real Estate
During the remainder of 2016 , our primary focus will be our continued fundraising efforts for Innovation Office REIT and Apartment REIT III as well as for our liquid alternative investment funds, the DIF and CIF.
Through our real estate segment, we focus on four different activities:
the acquisition, ownership and management of portfolios of real estate and real estate related debt, which we have acquired through sponsored real estate investment entities as well as through joint ventures with institutional investors, 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;
the development and expansion of our liquid alternative investment product platform for investments that offer higher levels of income, lower volatility and, because they include publicly-traded vehicles, greater liquidity as compared to traditional real estate investments. Our current platform includes the DIF and the CIF; and
to a significantly lesser extent, the management and resolution of a portfolio of real estate property interests that we acquired at various times between 1991 and 1999, which we collectively refer to as our legacy portfolio.

For information on how we calculate assets under management, see "Assets Under Management” above.

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. Certain of our fee income is transaction based and, as such, can be highly variable. For 2016 , our fee income will depend significantly upon the success of our REITs and the timing of their acquisitions, refinancings and dispositions.

Revenues − Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015
Revenues from our real estate operations decreased $2.6 million ( 13% ) to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , from $21.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .  We attribute this decrease in revenues primarily to the following:
a $ 1.6 million decrease in dealer-manager fees. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016 we raised $16.8 million for DIF as compared to $95.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 for Opportunity REIT II. Our broker-dealer subsidiary, Resource Securities, Inc., was the dealer-manager for both offerings;
a $1.2 million decrease in master lease revenues due to the sale of the underlying property in July 2015;
a $1.1 million decrease in fee income from sponsored investment entities in connection with the purchase, disposition and third-party financing of properties by those entities, as follows:
during the three months ended June 30, 2016 , we earned $4.6 million in fees primarily from the following activities:
the acquisition of two properties (valued at $151.5 million);
the sale of one property (valued at $17.5 million); and
the financing of five properties (with $194.6 million face value of debt).
in comparison, during three months ended June 30, 2015 , we earned $ 5.8 million in fees, primarily from the following activities:
the acquisition of three properties (valued at $213.8 million);
the sale of one property (valued at $13.5 million); and

43


the financing of three properties (with $115.0 million face value of debt); and
a $429,000 decrease in management fees from RSO, due to a decrease in the base management fees resulting from a decrease in the equity capital of RSO upon which the fee is based.
These decreases were offset, in part, by
a $1.6 million increase in asset management fees, due principally to an increase in fees earned from Opportunity REIT II in conjunction with the acquisition of assets;
a $ 223,000 increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities; and
a $203,000 increase in property management fees, also due principally to an increase in fees earned from Opportunity REIT II in conjunction with the acquisition of assets.
Costs and Expenses - Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015
Costs and expenses of our real estate operations decreased $1.9 million ( 16% ) to $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , from $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . We attribute this decrease in costs and expenses primarily to the following:
a $ 1.1 million decrease in broker-dealer expenses, reflecting the $785,000 decrease in sales commissions associated with the close of fundraising on behalf of Opportunity REIT II during early 2016; and
a $1.0 million decrease in master lease expenses due to the sale of the underlying property in July 2015;

Revenues − Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015
Revenues from our real estate operations decreased $ 452,000 ( 1.0% ) to $37.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , from $38.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .  We attribute this decrease in revenues primarily to the following:
a $ 2.5 million decrease in dealer-manager fees. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we raised $31.3 million for the DIF as compared to $184.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 for Opportunity REIT II. Our broker-dealer subsidiary, Resource Securities, Inc., was the dealer-manager for the offering; and
a $ 2.3 million decrease in master lease revenues due to the sale of the underlying property in July 2015.
These decreases were offset, in part, by
a $ 2.9 million increase in asset management fees, due principally to an increase in fees earned from Opportunity REIT II in conjunction with the acquisition of assets;
a $551,000 increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities;
a $ 533,000 increase in fee income from sponsored investment entities in connection with the purchase, disposition and third-party financing of properties by those entities, as follows:
during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we earned $ 9.5 million in fees primarily from the following activities:
the acquisition of four properties (valued at $268.8 million);
the sale of three properties (valued at $85.7 million); and
the financing of six properties (with $223.3 million face value of debt).
in comparison, during six months ended June 30, 2015 , we earned $ 9.0 million in fees, primarily from the following activities:
the acquisition of six properties (valued at $306.3 million);
the sale of five properties (valued at $82.3 million); and
the financing of five properties (with $154.2 million face value of debt).
a $ 315,000 increase in property management fees, also due principally to an increase in fees earned from Opportunity REIT II in conjunction with the acquisition of assets.


44


Costs and Expenses - Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015
Costs and expenses of our real estate operations decreased $ 2.4 million ( 10.0% ) to $ 21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , from $ 23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . We attribute this decrease in costs and expenses primarily to the following:
a $ 2.1 million decrease in broker-dealer expenses, reflecting the $1.6 million decrease in sales commissions associated with the close of fundraising on behalf of Opportunity REIT II during early 2016; and
a $ 2.0 million decrease in master lease expenses due to the sale of the underlying property in July 2015.
These decreases were partially offset by
a $1.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses, due primarily to an increase of $900,000 in wages and benefits.

For information on how we calculate assets under management and net assets under management, see "Assets Under Management" above.
CVC Credit Partners
As of June 30, 2016 , CVC Credit Partners has sponsored, structured and/or currently manages $13.2 billion in assets across 30 CLO issuers and 14 separately managed accounts for institutional and individual investors, including $423.4 million in assets managed on behalf of RSO, consisting principally of U.S. and European bank loans and corporate bonds.
For the CLOs it manages, CVC Credit Partners earns average fees of 0.15% (senior) and 0.31% (subordinate) of the aggregate principal balance of the eligible collateral. Subordinate management fees are subordinate to debt service payments on the CLOs. For separately managed accounts, CVC Credit Partners earns approximately 0.86% on the average balance of the assets managed.
Incentive management fees, which depend on performance, are also subordinate to payments on the debt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we received 75% of the incentive management fees generated by six legacy Apidos CLOs, respectively, three of which were called in the first quarter of 2016.
Resource Capital Markets
Our Resource Capital Markets group primarily generates fees from the following activities:
Introductory agent - connecting buyers and sellers in structured security transactions for which fees vary by transaction;
Auction agent - assisting with the auction process of securities for third-party CDO and CLO managers;
Structuring and placement - assisting with the structuring of assets and placement of debt and equity securities in CLO transactions managed by third-party managers;
Trading portfolio - our Board of Directors approved the allocation of up to $6.5 million of capital to invest for our own account in which we buy and sell structured finance securities. At June 30, 2016 , we had an investment of $1.6 million in a proprietary trading portfolio and an investment of $725,000 in RCM Global, LLC, or RCM Global, a venture between us, RSO and certain related parties that holds a portfolio of available-for-sale securities; and
Pelium Capital Partners, L.P. - managing a portfolio with a net asset value of $27.9 million , principally consisting of credit-related instruments and securities.
We manage RCM Global and Pelium on behalf of ourselves and RSO.

46


Northport
Our Northport group earns loan origination fees of up to 2% on certain middle market loans which it arranges for RSO. These fees are paid by the borrowers. Northport's middle market loan portfolio totaled $329 million across 29 loans at June 30, 2016 .
Trapeza
Our Trapeza group has sponsored, structured and currently co-manages 13 CDO issuers holding approximately $3.1 billion in par value of outstanding trust preferred securities of banks, bank holding companies, insurance companies and other financial companies at June 30, 2016 .
We own a 50% interest in an entity that manages 11 Trapeza CDO issuers and a 33.33% interest in another entity that manages two Trapeza CDO issuers. On average, we earn 0.12% in senior management fees on the aggregate principal balance of the eligible collateral held by the CDO issuers. These fees are shared with our co-sponsors.
Ischus
Our Ischus group has sponsored and manages seven CDO issuers for institutional and individual investors, which hold approximately $398.1 million in real estate ABS, including RMBS, CMBS and credit default swaps at June 30, 2016 .
On average, we earn 0.06% in senior management fees on the aggregate principal balance of eligible collateral held by the CDO issuers.
RFIG
Through RFIG, we sponsored, structured and currently manage seven affiliated partnerships for individual and institutional investors, which have a combined market value of $65.6 million ( $47.6 million cost basis) of investments in financial institutions at June 30, 2016 . We derive revenues from these operations through annual management fees, based on an average of 1.64% of equity. In addition, we may receive a carried interest of up to 20% upon meeting specific investor return rates. As part of our sponsorship, management and general partnership interests, we hold $2.5 million worth of limited partnership interests in five of these partnerships.
Pelium
    
Through Pelium, we manage a $29.6 million portfolio (cost basis) consisting of CDO and CLO note and equity positions, CMBS and a CLO warehouse interest. We derive revenues from this fund through an annual management fee of 1.50% of net assets managed and have the ability to earn an incentive fee of 20% above an 8% hurdle rate. Currently, we do not earn a management fee due to the affiliated nature of the fund investors.

Revenues − Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015
RFFM revenues increased $1.2 million ( 25% ) to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $4.8 million for three months ended June 30, 2015 . We attribute this increase in revenues primarily to the following:
a $2.3 million increase in structuring and placement fees, principally due to fees earned by Resource Capital Markets for underwriting one European CLO for an unrelated third party collateral manager. No such fees were earned during the prior year period;
a $313,000 increase in earnings generated by CVC Credit Partners; and
a $155,000 increase in realized and unrealized gains on our trading securities portfolio, principally due to the sale of one position.
These increases were partially offset by:
a $634,000 decrease in earnings from our limited and general partner interests and LLC member interests, which include a $441,000 decrease from our investment in RCM Global and a $177,000 decrease from our investments in CVC managed accounts as a result of market volatility;

48


a $529,000 decrease in fund management incentive fees primarily as a result of the continued liquidation of three legacy Apidos CLOs which began during the first quarter. In conjunction with the sale of Apidos to CVC Credit Partners, we retained a 75% interest in the incentive fees earned by the legacy Apidos CLOs, which depend on CLO performance. A portion of the incentive fees we received were determined to be a reduction of our preferred interest investment in unconsolidated loan manager;
a $266,000 decrease in loan origination fees earned by Northport in connection with the closing of $24.5 million in middle market loans issued by RSO as compared to $46.0 million for the prior year period; and
a $140,000 decrease in fund management fees primarily the result of a decrease in RFIG partnership management fees as well as a decrease in collateral management fees as the Ischus CDOs continue to amortize.

Costs and Expenses − Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015
RFFM costs and expenses increased $1.5 million ( 47% ) to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , principally due to an increase in incentive compensation in connection with the structuring of a third-party European CLO.

Revenues − Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015
RFFM revenues increased $2.4 million ( 24% ) to $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $9.9 million for six months ended June 30, 2015 . We attribute this increase in revenues primarily to the following:
a $2.2 million increase in structuring and placement fees, principally due to fees earned by Resource Capital Markets for underwriting one European CLO for an unrelated third party collateral manager. No such fees were earned during the prior year period;
a $718,000 increase in fund management incentive fees primarily as a result of the continued liquidation of three legacy Apidos CLOs in the first quarter;
a $592,000 increase in earnings generated by CVC Credit Partners, including net foreign currency gains of $366,000;
a $210,000 increase in RSO management fees, primarily due to a prior period adjustment; and
a $172,000 increase in realized and unrealized gains on our trading securities portfolio, principally due to the sale of one position.
These increases were partially offset by:
a $1.3 million decrease in earnings from our limited and general partner interests and LLC member interests, including an $872,000 decrease in equity in earnings from our investment in RCM Global and a $177,000 decrease in equity in earnings from our investments in CVC managed accounts; and
a $221,000 decrease in fund management fees primarily the result of a decrease in RFIG partnership management fees as well as a decrease in collateral management fees as the Ischus CDOs continue to amortize.

Costs and Expenses − Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015
RFFM costs and expenses increased $2.1 million ( 34% ) to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , principally due to an increase in incentive compensation in connection with the structuring of a third-party European CLO as well as an increase in compensation reflecting personnel increases.

Results of Operations:  Commercial Finance
The commercial finance assets we manage through LEAF increased by $137.0 million to $864.0 million as compared to $727.0 million at June 30, 2015 . This increase primarily reflects increases of $ 89.0 million in the LEAF portfolio and $54.0 million in the assets managed for others. The last of the four initial investment partnerships we sponsored and managed was liquidated in May 2016, another was liquidated in July 2015 and the other two funds were liquidated during 2014. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 , LEAF managed approximately 74,000 and 66,000 leases and loans for itself, other third-parties and its investment partnerships, with an average original finance value of $20,700 and $20,100 and an average term of 51 and 53 months, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative costs increased $271,000 ( 6% ) to $4.5 million and $1.9 million ( 25% ) to $9.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 from $4.2 million and $7.5 million , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 . Wages and benefits increased $739,000 and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , from the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily related to increases in salaries and bonuses (including equity compensation). For both the three and six months periods ending June 30, 2016, information technology related expenses increased by $200,000 and $346,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily reflecting acquired software licenses and the expansion and updates to our network.

During the three and six months ending June 30, 2016, we recorded a net recovery of $(94,000) and a provision of $11,000 on the portfolios assumed in connection with the liquidation of three of our commercial finance partnerships. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we had estimated, based on projected cash flows, that one of our commercial finance partnerships would not have sufficient funds to pay a portion of its accrued management fees and, accordingly, recorded provisions of $81,000 and $256,000, respectively, on amounts receivable from that partnership.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, due to shortfalls in projected cash flows of one of our real estate investment partnerships, we recorded provisions of $194,000 and $307,000, respectively, on amounts receivable from that partnership.

(3 ) The Pelium fund is a VIE that we consolidate; the noncontrolling interest reflects the portion of the fund that is owned by RSO.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations, before taxes) was a benefit of 12% and a provision of 33% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to a provision of 35% and 31% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 . The change in the income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily relates to discrete tax adjustments relative to pre-tax earnings and the consolidation of Pelium. Excluding discrete tax items, our effective income tax rate would have been a benefit of 12% and a provision of 31% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 .

The tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings and the level of our tax credits. We take certain of these and other factors, including our history of pretax earnings, into account in assessing our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets.  We are subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and other taxing authorities in certain states in which we have significant business operations. We are currently undergoing a Kansas income tax examination for tax years 2011 through 2013 and a Philadelphia income tax examination for tax years 2011 through 2013. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2011 and are no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for years before 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our analysis of liquidity and capital reserves excludes the liquidity of our consolidated VIE, Pelium, as we do not have access to, or the ability to utilize, any of Pelium's assets, nor do we have any obligation or liability with respect to any of its liabilities or borrowings.
As an asset manager, our liquidity needs consist principally of capital needed to make investments and to pay our operating expenses (principally wages, benefits and interest expense). Our ability to meet our liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations, and, with respect to our investments, our ability to raise investor funds.
At June 30, 2016 , our liquidity consisted of three primary sources:
cash on hand of $26.5 million ;
$9.2 million of availability under two corporate credit facilities; and
cash generated from operations.
Disposition of Non-core Assets. Our legacy portfolio at June 30, 2016 consisted of three property interests. To the extent we are able to dispose of these assets, we will obtain additional liquidity. The amount of additional liquidity we obtain will vary significantly depending upon the asset being sold and then-current economic conditions. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to dispose of these properties or as to the timing or amounts we may realize from any such dispositions.
Refinancing and Repayment of Our Debt . In November 2013, we amended our credit facility with Republic First Bank to extend the maturity date to December 28, 2016 . In April 2014, we amended our credit facility with TD Bank to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2017 and increased the maximum borrowing capacity from $7.5 million to $11.5 million . In January 2016, due to a market decline in the value of the pledged securities, availability under the line of credit was reduced to $7.5 million. Additionally, in August 2014, we modified our Senior Notes to extend the maturity date to March 31, 2018 and to include an early redemption feature.
As of June 30, 2016 , our total borrowings outstanding of $20.5 million included $10.0 million of indebtedness under our Senior Notes, $9.8 million of mortgage debt (secured by the underlying property) and $688,000 of other debt.
Capital Requirements
Our capital needs consist principally of funds to make investments in the investment vehicles we sponsor or for our own account and to provide bridge financing or other temporary financial support to facilitate asset acquisitions by our sponsored investment vehicles. Accordingly, the amount of capital we require will depend to a significant extent upon our level of activity in making investments for our own account or in sponsoring investment vehicles, all of which is largely within our discretion.
Dividends
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , we paid cash dividends of $2.3 million and $2.6 million , respectively, which were funded from cash flows generated from operations. We have paid quarterly cash dividends since August 1995. The determination of the amount of future cash dividends, if any, is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on the various factors affecting our financial condition and other matters that the directors deem relevant.

As of June 30, 2016 , except for executive compensation, we did not believe it was probable that any payments would be required under any of our commitments and contingencies and, accordingly, no liabilities were recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Our commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:
Corporate
Broker-Dealer Capital Requirement. Resource Securities serves as a dealer-manager for the sale of securities of direct participation investment programs, both public and private, sponsored by our subsidiaries who also serve as general partners and/or managers of these programs.  Additionally, Resource Securities serves as an introducing agent for transactions involving sales of securities of financial services companies, REITs and insurance companies for us and for RSO.  As a broker-dealer, Resource Securities is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined in regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which was $100,000 and $259,000 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , Resource Securities net capital was $1,051,000 and $1.0 million , respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $951,000 and $780,000 , respectively.
Legal proceedings .  On June 15, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit, Gansman v. Resource America, Inc., et al., Case No. 160601492, was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County by a purported stockholder of Resource America that names us, our board of directors, C-III and Merger Sub as defendants. On July 11, 2016, the plaintiff filed a stipulation with the Court seeking an order discontinuing the action without prejudice.

On July 14, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit, Gansman v. Resource America, Inc., et al., Case No. 16-3820, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and names us, our board of directors, C-III and Merger Sub as defendants. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the transaction and alleges, among other things, that the definitive proxy statement we distributed in connection with our upcoming special meeting of stockholders being held to approve the proposed merger with C-III omits material information regarding the sale process followed by us, the negotiation of the definitive merger agreement with C-III and certain analyses prepared by our financial advisor. We believe that the allegations in the complaint are without merit.

54


We are also a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or operations.
Executive compensation. We are also party to employment agreements with certain executives that provide for compensation and other benefits, including severance payments under specified circumstances.
Financial fund management
Clawback liability.  One of our structured finance partnerships that invests in public and private regional banks has a potential clawback of up to 75% of the management fees paid to us ( $1.4 million as of June 30, 2016 ) to the extent that the limited partners’ aggregate capital contributions exceed the total partner distributions from the fund.  As of June 30, 2016 , the fair value of the fund's assets were sufficient to cover the distribution requirement and, as such, no liability has been recorded for this contingency.
Fund capital commitments. In connection with our investment in CVC Credit Partners, and in our capacity as the fund manager for some of its managed accounts/funds, we are contractually committed to invest capital along with third-party investors. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2016 , our pro-rata portion of the unfunded capital commitments totaled $4.7 million across five such funds/accounts. We expect these unfunded commitments to be called over the next two years.
    
Real estate
REIT capital commitment. As a specialized asset manager, we sponsor and manage investment funds in which we may make an equity investment along with outside investors.  This equity investment is generally based on a percentage of funds raised and varies among investment programs.  The liability for this commitment will be recorded in the future as the amounts become due and payable.
Pearlmark joint venture capital commitment. In connection with the Pearlmark joint venture, we were committed to and have funded $8.0 million as of June 30, 2016 . This funding is reflected as our investment in Pearlmark and will have a preference in distributions, plus a 10% internal rate of return, from the joint venture before any monies will be distributed to the other investors. In July 2016, we and our joint venture partner each funded an additional $500,000 for working capital purposes.

In connection with the formation of Pearlmark's first fund offering, Pearlmark Mezzanine Realty Partners IV, L.P., we are committed to contribute up to a maximum of $1.7 million as a General Partner of the fund. As of June 30, 2016 , we have funded $378,000 of that commitment.
Commercial finance
Commercial finance partnership guarantee. In connection with the sale of a portfolio of leases and notes by one of our former commercial finance partnerships, we provided a guarantee whereby we will reimburse the buyer in the event that one of the leases in the portfolio fails to make a $183,000 balloon payment on the due date. As of June 30, 2016 , the lease is current and there is no indication that this payment will not be made timely; accordingly, no liability has been recorded for this contingency.     
Variable Interest Entities
In general, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its operations without additional subordinated financial support, or an entity for which the risks and rewards of ownership are not directly linked to voting interests. We have variable interests in VIEs through our management contracts and investments in various securitization entities, including CLO and CDO issuers and through equity interests. In the case of an interest in a VIE managed by us, the fees we receive are not factored into our evaluation so long as (i) the fees are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, (ii) the service arrangement includes only terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length and (iii) our other economic interests in the VIE held directly and indirectly through its related parties, as well as economic interests held by related parties under common control, where applicable, would not absorb more than an insignificant amount of the entity’s losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the entity’s benefits. If fees paid to us were determined to be a variable interest, it could result in us being the primary beneficiary of and thus consolidating the entity being evaluated. Evaluation of these criteria requires judgment.

For those entities in which we have a variable interest, we perform an analysis to first determine whether the entity is a
VIE. This determination includes considering whether the entity’s equity investment at risk is sufficient, whether the voting rights of an investor are not proportional to its obligation to absorb the income or loss of the entity and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of that investor and its related parties, and whether the entity’s at-risk equity holders have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.

55



We are the general partner/manager of and have a variable interest in certain limited partnerships and similar entities. One of the factors that we consider in evaluating whether these entities are VIEs is whether a simple majority (or lower threshold) of limited partners with equity at risk are able to exercise substantive kick-out rights. Kick-out rights are generally defined as the ability to remove the general partner/manager or to dissolve the entity without cause. If the limited partners with equity at risk are not able to exercise substantive kick-out rights, then the entity is a VIE. We are also the manager of and has a variable interest in certain entities other than limited partnerships. One of the factors that we consider in evaluating whether these entities are VIEs is whether the investors have power through voting rights or similar rights (such as those of a common shareholder in a corporation); and if not, whether a single equity holder has the unilateral ability to exercise substantive kick-out rights. If investors do not have power through voting rights or similar rights or a single equity holder does not have the unilateral ability to exercise substantive kick-out rights, then the entity is a VIE. These analyses require judgment.

A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. We would be deemed to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if we and our related parties under common control as a group, where applicable, have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For purposes of evaluating (ii) above, fees paid to us are excluded if the fees are compensation for services provided commensurate with the level of effort required to be performed and the arrangement includes only customary terms, conditions or amounts present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length. This analysis requires judgment.

Trading Portfolio
From time to time, we may have an interest in a VIE through the investments we make as part of our trading activities.  Because of the high volume of trading activity we experience, we do not perform a formal assessment of each individual investment within our trading portfolio to determine if the investee is a VIE and if we are a primary beneficiary.  Even if we were to obtain a variable interest in a VIE through our trading portfolio, we would not typically be deemed to be the primary beneficiary as we do not usually obtain the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the investee’s financial performance.  In the extremely unlikely case that we somehow obtained the power to direct and a significant variable interest in an investee in our trading portfolio that was a VIE, any such control would be temporary due to the rapid turnover within the trading portfolio. 

Consolidated VIE - Pelium
Pelium was determined to be a VIE that we manage and in which we have invested $5.0 million for a 20% limited partner interest. Based on our evaluation, we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, consolidate Pelium. However, the assets of Pelium are held solely to satisfy Pelium's obligations and the creditors of Pelium have no recourse against our assets. The following are the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of Pelium that are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

VIEs not consolidated
We have a retained preferred equity interest in the legacy Apidos-CVC CLOs. In addition, we have investments in and manage the structured finance entities that hold investments in asset-backed securities (“Ischus entities”) and trust preferred assets (“Trapeza entities”). All of these entities were determined to be VIEs that we do not consolidate as do not have the obligation of, or right to, losses or earnings that would be significant to those entities. We have not provided financial or other support to these VIEs and have no liabilities, contingent liabilities, or guarantees (implicit or explicit) related to these VIEs at June 30, 2016 .

The following table presents the carrying amounts of the assets in our consolidated balance sheets that relate to our variable interests in identified nonconsolidated VIEs that we manage and our maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs in which we hold variable interests at June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies
     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We make estimates of our allowance for credit losses, the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, discounts and collectability of management fees, the valuation of stock-based compensation, and in determining whether a decrease in the fair value of an investment is an other-than-temporary impairment. The financial fund management segment makes assumptions in determining the fair value of our investments in securities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.     
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to various market risks from changes in interest rates. Fluctuations in interest rates can impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. We manage this risk through regular operating and financing activities. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. The range of changes presented reflects our view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period and provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. Our analysis does not consider other possible effects that could impact our business.
Debt
At June 30, 2016 , we had two secured revolving credit facilities for general business use. There were no outstanding borrowings on these facilities as of such date. In the event that we have to utilize the facilities for longer term borrowing, the interest on the facilities would be subject to interest rate fluctuations.
All other debt as of June 30, 2016 is at fixed rates of interest and is, therefore, not subject to interest rate fluctuations.
Trading Securities
Our trading security investments are a source of market risk. As of June 30, 2016 , our trading security portfolio was comprised of $1.6 million of investments in equity and debt securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value are included in operations. Assuming a 10% decrease in the market value of these investments as of June 30, 2016 , the hypothetical loss would be approximately $159,000 .
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable

57


assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2016 , there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On June 15, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit, Gansman v. Resource America, Inc., et al., Case No. 160601492, was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County by a purported stockholder of Resource America that names us, our board of directors, C-III and Merger Sub as defendants. On July 11, 2016, the plaintiff filed a stipulation with the Court seeking an order discontinuing the action without prejudice.

On July 14, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit, Gansman v. Resource America, Inc., et al., Case No. 16-3820, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and names us, our board of directors, C-III and Merger Sub as defendants. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the transaction and alleges, among other things, that the definitive proxy statement we distributed in connection with our upcoming special meeting of stockholders being held to approve the proposed merger with C-III omits material information regarding the sale process followed by us, the negotiation of the definitive merger agreement with C-III and certain analyses prepared by our financial advisor. We believe that the allegations in the complaint are without merit.
We are also a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or operations.


    
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS.

The proposed merger may not be completed on a timely basis, or at all, and the failure to complete or delays in completing the merger could adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price.

We can provide no assurance that the merger will be consummated or consummated in the timeframe or manner currently anticipated. The merger is subject to a number of conditions including the approval of our stockholders, which are not within our control. There can be no assurance as to when, or if, the conditions to closing of the merger will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the termination of the merger.

Any delay in closing or a failure to close could have a negative impact on our business, financial results and stock price as well as our relationships with our business partners or employees, and a negative impact on our ability to pursue alternative strategic transactions and/or our ability to implement alternative business plans. If the merger agreement is terminated, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $6.725 million.

Our business and financial results could be adversely impacted during the pendency of the merger.

The merger may cause disruptions to our business or business relationships and create uncertainty surrounding our ongoing business operations, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, regardless of whether the merger is completed, including as a result of the following (all of which could be exacerbated by a delay in completion of the merger):

the attention of our management may be directed to transaction-related considerations and may be diverted from the day-to-day operations of our business;
our employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us, which might adversely affect our ability to hire, retain and motivate key personnel and other employees;
parties with which we maintain business relationships may experience uncertainty prior to the closing of the merger and seek alternative relationships with third parties or seek to terminate or re-negotiate their relationships with us; and
the merger agreement restricts us from engaging in certain actions without the consent of C-III, which could prevent us from pursuing opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the merger.

In addition, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, costs, expenses, and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the merger, and many of these fees and costs are payable by us regardless of whether or not the merger is consummated.
