RESOURCE CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET INCOME TO FFO and AFFO (1) (in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited) Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 (3) -------------- Net income - GAAP $ 14,481 Adjustments: Real estate depreciation and amortization 710 Gains on sales of joint venture real estate interests (2) (1,087) -------------- FFO (1) 14,104 Adjustments: Non-cash items: Impairment losses on real property held for sale 139 Provisions for loan losses 1,584 Straight line rental adjustments 8 Share-based compensation 868 Amortization of deferred costs (non real estate) and intangible assets 1,655 Cash items: Gains on sales of joint venture real estate interests (2) 1,087 Capital expenditures (803) -------------- AFFO (1) $ 18,642 -------------- Weighted average shares - diluted 81,893 AFFO per share - diluted $ 0.23 ============== (1) RSO currently evaluates its performance based on several performance measures, including FFO and AFFO (both non-GAAP measures), in addition to net income. RSO computes FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated/uncombined partnerships and joint ventures. AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company's cash flow generated by operations. RSO calculates AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO: non-cash impairment losses resulting from fair value adjustments on financial instruments, non-cash provision for loan losses, straight-line rental effects, share based compensation, amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets, gains on sales of property through a joint venture and capital expenditures that are related to RSO's real estate owned. Management believes that FFO and AFFO are appropriate measures of RSO's operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs. Management uses FFO and AFFO as measures of RSO's operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of RSO's operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation, share-based compensation and various other items required by GAAP, and capital expenditures, that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare RSO's operating performance between periods. While RSO's calculation of AFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by other REITs and its AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs, RSO also believes that FFO and AFFO may provide it and its investors with an additional useful measure to compare its performance with some other REITs. Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of RSO's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity. (2) Amount represents gains on sales of joint venture real estate interests from a joint venture recorded by RSO. (3) Comparative FFO and AFFO data is not provided since RSO did not own depreciable real property during the comparable period in 2011.
