Resource America, Inc. Reports Operating Results for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2012

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 03, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI) (the "Company") reported adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, of $726,000, or $0.04 per common share-diluted, for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 as compared to an adjusted loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $1.7 million, or $0.09 per common share diluted, for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011. A reconciliation of the Company's reported GAAP loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders to adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, is included as Schedule I to this release.

For the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2012, the Company reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.3 million, or $0.12 per common share-diluted, and $2.1 million, or $0.11 per common share-diluted, respectively, as compared to $4.3 million, or $0.22 per common share-diluted, and $4.8 million, or $0.25 per common share-diluted, for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively.

Jonathan Cohen, CEO and President, commented, "The recent completion of our transaction creating CVC Credit Partners demonstrates the quality and value of our asset management platforms. We will recognize a gain of approximately $53 million, received gross proceeds of $25 million in cash, retained the right to collect substantial incentive fees and own 33% of a world-class global credit management business that we think will grow and prosper. Our other platforms are also advancing robustly. In real estate, both Resource Opportunity REIT and Resource Capital Corp. are growing and performing well. We end our second quarter very strong -- our businesses are doing well, we are growing, our balance sheet is in excellent condition and we are exploring opportunities to leverage those strengths to enhance shareholder value."

(1)  Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to
     common shareholders presents the Company's operations without the
     effect of its commercial finance operations and restructuring costs.
     The Company believes that this provides useful information to investors
     since it allows investors to evaluate the Company's progress in both
     its real estate and financial fund management segments for the three
     months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 separately from its commercial
     finance operations. Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations
     attributable to common shareholders should not be considered as an
     alternative to loss from continuing operations attributable to common
     shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP). Instead, adjusted
     income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common
     shareholders should be reviewed in connection with loss from continuing
     operations attributable to common shareholders in the Company's
     consolidated financial statements, to help analyze how the Company's
     business is performing.

(2)  Loss from commercial finance operations consists of revenues and
     expenses from commercial finance operations (including gains or losses
     from the sale of leases and loans, provision for credit losses and
     depreciation and amortization) net of applicable tax benefits and non-
     controlling interests.

(3)  Dilutive shares used in the calculation of adjusted income from
     continuing operations attributable to common shareholders per common
     share-diluted includes an additional 918,000 shares for the three
     months ended March 31, 2012, which were antidilutive for the period
     and, as such, were not used in the calculation of GAAP loss from
     continuing operations attributable to common shareholders per common
     share-diluted.
