NEW YORK, NY, Aug 04, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Resource Capital Corp.

    ended June 30, 2008 was $9.4 million or $0.38 per share-diluted and $21.5

    diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, a

    respectively. RCC announced a dividend distribution of $0.41 per common
    share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, unchanged from the quarters
    ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007.
--  Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure excluding the effect of non-
    cash charges and non-operating capital transactions, of $9.3 million, or
    $0.37 per share-diluted for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
    $10.6 million, or $0.43 per share-diluted for the quarter ended June 30,
    2007, a decrease of $1.4 million (13%).
--  Economic book value, a non-GAAP measure, was $11.34 per common share
    as of June 30, 2008.
--  GAAP book value was $9.90 per common share as of June 30, 2008.
--  GAAP net loss of $0.21 per share-diluted, including non-cash charges
    for loan and lease losses of $14.5 million or $0.58 per share-diluted, for
    the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
--  Paydowns on RCC's bank loan portfolio were $25.5 million for the
    quarter ended June 30, 2008. Paydowns on RCC's commercial real estate loan
    portfolio were $164,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
--  As of July 31, 2008, short-term repurchase agreement borrowings were
    down to $880,000 from $7.6 million as of March 31, 2008.


Jonathan Cohen, CEO and President of RCC, commented, "With the exception of one loan which defaulted in the first quarter of 2008 that we fully reserved for this quarter, the credit quality of our loan portfolio appears to be stable in the current credit environment. We have increased our general reserves but feel confident that our portfolio quality is intact. Although our prepayments this quarter were virtually non-existent, we expect that prepayments will increase, based upon our conversations with several of our borrowers. As these prepayments occur, we will be able to continue to reinvest at very attractive spreads thereby increasing portfolio income and realizing exit fees. We also worked hard to eliminate all but $880,000 of short term recourse liabilities."

The following schedules of reconciliations as of June 30, 2008 are included in this release:

--  Schedule I -- Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net
    Income;
--  Schedule II -- Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Estimated REIT
    Taxable Income; and
--  Schedule III -- Reconciliation of GAAP Stockholders' Equity to
    Economic Book Value.


Additional financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 and recent developments include:

General

--  RCC's net interest income decreased by $0.3 million, or 2%, to $13.3
    million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $13.6
    million for the same period in 2007.


Commercial Real Estate

--  RCC produced new commercial real estate ("CRE") loans, on a gross
    basis, of $7.7 million during the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. The

    including future funding obligations of $17.9 million.


The following table summarizes RCC's CRE loan origination activities and future funding obligations, at par, for the three, six and 12 months ended June 30, 2008 (in millions, except percentages):

TABLE WITH 3 FOOTNOTES

Commercial Finance

--  RCC's bank loan portfolio ended the second quarter with total
    investments of $946.9 million, at amortized cost, with a weighted-average
    spread of one-month and three-month LIBOR plus 2.28%. All of RCC's bank
    loan portfolio is match-funded through three collateralized loan obligation
    ("CLO") issuances with a weighted-average cost of three-month LIBOR plus
    0.47%.
--  RCC's commercial finance subsidiary ended the second quarter with
    $92.6 million, at cost, in direct financing leases and notes at a weighted-
    average rate of 9.23%. RCC's leasing portfolio is match-funded through a
    secured term facility, which had a balance of $85.8 million as of June 30,
    2008 and a weighted-average interest rate of 3.84%.


Book Value

As of June 30, 2008, RCC's GAAP book value per common share was $9.90. Total stockholders' equity was $250.3 million as of June 30, 2008 as compared to $271.6 million as of December 31, 2007. Total common shares outstanding were 25,282,632 as of June 30, 2008 as compared to 25,103,532 as of December 31, 2007.

As of June 30, 2008, RCC's economic book value per common share outstanding, a non-GAAP measure, was $11.34. Economic book value is computed by adding back to GAAP book value any unrealized losses on the Company's investments in CMBS for which it expects to recover full par value at maturity, and on derivatives (cash flow hedges) that are associated with fixed-rate loans which it intends to hold until maturity, in excess of its value at risk, and that have not been adjusted through stockholders' equity for market fluctuations (see Footnote 1 of Schedule III). Economic book value per share is computed by dividing the economic book value by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period.

Investment Portfolio

The table below summarizes the amortized cost and net carrying amount of the RCC's investment portfolio as of June 30, 2008, classified by interest rate type. The following table includes both (i) the amortized cost of RCC's investment portfolio and the related dollar price, which is computed by dividing amortized cost by par amount, and (ii) the net carrying amount of RCC's investment portfolio and the related dollar price, which is computed by dividing the net carrying amount by par amount (in thousands, except percentages):

Liquidity

At July 31, 2008, RCC's liquidity consists of three primary sources:

--  unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $7.1 million and restricted
    cash of $7.0 million comprised of $4.0 million in margin call accounts and
    $3.0 million related to its leasing portfolio;
--  capital available for reinvestment in its five collateralized debt
    obligation ("CDO") entities of $44.4 million, which is made up of $27.0
    million of restricted cash and $17.4 million of availability to finance
    future funding commitments on commercial real estate loans; and
--  financing available under existing borrowing facilities of $26.5
    million, comprised of $16.5 million of available cash from RCC's three year
    non-recourse secured financing facility and $10.0 million of unused
    capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility. RCC also has $83.4
    million of unused capacity under a three-year non-recourse commercial real
    estate repurchase facility, which, however, requires approval of individual
    repurchase transactions by the repurchase counterparty.

(1) During 2007, RCC began evaluating its performance based on several
    performance measures, including adjusted net income, in addition to net
    income. Adjusted net income represents net income available to common
    shares, computed in accordance with GAAP, before provision for loan and
    lease losses, gain on the extinguishment of debt and non-operating
    capital items.  These items are recorded in accordance with GAAP and
    are typically non-cash or non-operating items that do not impact RCC's
    operating performance or ability to pay a dividend.
    Management views adjusted net income as a useful and appropriate
    supplement to GAAP net income (loss) because it helps management
    evaluate RCC's performance without the effects of certain GAAP
    adjustments that may not have a direct financial impact on RCC's
    current operating performance and dividend paying ability. Management
    uses adjusted net income to evaluate the performance of RCC's
    investment portfolios, ability to manage its expenses and dividend
    paying ability before the impact of non-cash adjustments and
    non-operating capital gain or loss recorded in accordance with GAAP.
    RCC believes this is a useful performance measure for investors to
    evaluate these aspects of RCC's business as well.  The most
    significant adjustments RCC excludes in determining adjusted earnings
    as of June 30, 2008 are its provision for loan and lease losses, gain
    on the extinguishment of debt and losses on the sale of
    available-for-sale securities.  At June 30, 2007 RCC also excluded
    asset impairments related to its ABS-RMBS portfolio that was
    deconsolidated on November 13, 2007.  Management excludes all such
    items from its calculation of adjusted net income because these items
    are not charges or losses which would impact RCC's current operating
    performance.  However, by excluding these significant items, adjusted
    net income reduces an investor's understanding of RCC's operating
    performance by excluding management's expectation of possible future
    gains or losses from RCC's investment portfolio.
    Adjusted net income, as a non-GAAP financial measurement, does not
    purport to be an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or a measure of
    operating performance or cash flows from operating activities
    determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity.  Instead,
    adjusted net income should be reviewed in connection with net income
    (loss) and cash flows from operating, investing and financing
    activities in RCC's consolidated financial statements to help analyze
    management's expectation of potential future losses from RCC's
    investment portfolio and other non-cash or capital matters that impact
    its financial results.  Adjusted net income and other supplemental
    performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT
    industry.  Investors should consider these differences when comparing
    RCC's adjusted net income to these other REITs.

(1) RCC believes that a presentation of estimated REIT taxable income
    provides useful information to investors regarding its financial
    condition and results of operations as this measurement is used to
    determine the amount of dividends that RCC is required to declare to
    its stockholders in order to maintain its status as a REIT for federal
    income tax purposes.  Since RCC, as a REIT, expects to make
    distributions based on taxable income, RCC expects that its
    distributions may at times be more or less than its reported income.
    Total taxable income is the aggregate amount of taxable income
    generated by RCC and by its domestic and foreign taxable REIT
    subsidiaries.  Estimated REIT taxable income excludes the undistributed
    taxable income of RCC's domestic taxable REIT subsidiary, if any such
    income exists, which is not included in REIT taxable income until
    distributed to RCC. There is no requirement that RCC's domestic taxable
    REIT subsidiary distribute its income to RCC.  Estimated REIT taxable
    income, however, includes the taxable income of RCC's foreign taxable
    REIT subsidiaries because RCC generally will be required to recognize
    and report their taxable income on a current basis.  Because not all
    companies use identical calculations, this presentation of estimated
    REIT taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled
    measures of other companies.

(1) Management views economic book value, a non-GAAP measure, as a useful
    and appropriate supplement to GAAP stockholders' equity and book value
    per share.  The measure serves as an additional measure of RCC's value
    because it facilitates evaluation of us without the effects of
    unrealized losses on investments for which we expect to recover full
    par value at maturity and on interest rate swaps, which we intend to
    hold to maturity, in excess of RCC's value at risk.  Unrealized losses
    recognized in RCC's financial statements, prepared in accordance with
    GAAP, that are in excess of RCC's maximum value at risk are added back
    to stockholders' equity in arriving at economic book value.  Economic
    book value should be reviewed in connection with GAAP stockholders'
    equity as set forth in RCC's consolidated balance sheets, to help
    analyze RCC's value to investors.  Economic book value is defined in
    various ways throughout the REIT industry.  Investors should consider
    these differences when comparing RCC's economic book value to that of
    other REITs.
(2) RCC adds back unrealized losses on interest rate swaps (cash flow
    hedges) that are associated with fixed-rate loans that have not been
    adjusted through stockholders' equity for market fluctuations.
