RAIT Financial Trust

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2010

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

NOTE 1: THE COMPANY

RAIT Financial Trust invests in and manages a portfolio of real-estate related assets and provides a comprehensive set of debt financing
options to the real estate industry. References to RAIT, we, us, and our refer to RAIT Financial Trust and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. We conduct our business through our
subsidiaries, RAIT Partnership, L.P. and Taberna Realty Finance Trust, or Taberna, as well as through their respective subsidiaries. RAIT is a self-managed and self-advised Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT. Taberna is also a Maryland
REIT.

We finance a substantial portion of our investments through borrowing and securitization strategies seeking to match
the maturities and terms of our financings with the maturities and terms of those investments, and to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.

We are subject to significant competition in all aspects of our business. Existing industry participants and potential new entrants
compete with us for the available supply of investments suitable for origination or acquisition, as well as for debt and equity capital. We compete with many third parties engaged in real estate finance and investment activities, including other
REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, governmental bodies and other entities.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial
position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. We also
consolidate entities that are variable interest entities, or VIEs, where we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of such entities. The portions of these entities that we do not own are presented as noncontrolling interest as of the
dates and for the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Under FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the determination of whether to consolidate a VIE is based on the power to direct
the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance together with either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE. We define the power to direct
the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance as the ability to buy, sell, refinance, or recapitalize assets or entities, and solely control other material operating events or items of the respective entity. For
our commercial mortgages, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity investments, certain rights we hold are protective in nature and would preclude us from having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic
performance. Assuming both criteria are met, we would be considered the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE. We will continually assess our involvement with VIEs and consolidated the VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary. See Note 9
for additional disclosures pertaining to VIEs.

c. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

d. Investments

We invest in commercial mortgages, mezzanine loans, debt securities and other loans. We account for our investments in commercial
mortgages, mezzanine loans and other loans at amortized cost. The carrying value of these investments is adjusted for origination discounts/premiums, nonrefundable fees and direct costs for originating loans which are amortized into income on a
level yield basis over the terms of the loans.

We account for our investments in securities under Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 320, InvestmentsDebt and Equity Securities, and designate each investment as a trading security, an available-for-sale security, or a held-to-maturity security
based on our intent at the time of acquisition. Trading securities are recorded at their fair value each reporting period with fluctuations in fair value reported as a component of earnings. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value
with changes in fair value reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). We classify certain available-for-sale securities as trading securities when we elect to record them under the fair value option in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 825, Financial Instruments. See i. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Upon the sale of an available-for-sale security, the realized gain or loss on the sale will be recorded as a component of earnings in the
respective period. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost at each reporting period.

We account for
investments in securities where the transfer meets the criteria as a financing under FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, at amortized cost. Our investments in security-related receivables represent securities that were
transferred to issuers of collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, in which the transferors maintained some level of continuing involvement.

We use our judgment to determine whether an investment in securities has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in value. If
management determines that an investment in securities has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in its value, the investment is written down to its fair value by a charge to earnings, and we establish a new cost basis for the investment. Our
evaluation of an other-than-temporary decline is dependent on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors that we consider in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred include: the estimated fair value of the
investment in relation to our cost basis; the financial condition of the related entity; and the intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery of the fair value of the investment.

e. Allowance for Losses, Impaired Loans and Non-accrual Status

We maintain an allowance for losses on our investments in commercial mortgages, mezzanine loans, and other loans. Managements
periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon expected and inherent risks in the portfolio, the estimated value of underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Management reviews loans for impairment and establishes
specific reserves when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 310, Receivables. As part of the detailed loan review, we consider many factors about the specific loan, including payment history,
asset performance, borrowers financial capability and other characteristics. If any trends or characteristics indicate that it is probable that other loans, with similar characteristics to those of impaired loans, have incurred a loss, we
consider whether an allowance for loss is needed pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. Management evaluates loans for non-accrual status each reporting period. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when the loan payment
deficiencies exceed 90 days. Payments received for non-accrual or impaired loans are applied to principal until the loan is removed from non-accrual status or no longer impaired. Past due interest is recognized on non-accrual loans when they are
removed from non-accrual status and are making current interest payments. The allowance for losses is increased by charges to operations and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management charges off impaired loans when the investment is
no longer realizable and legally discharged.

f. Transfers of Financial Assets

We account for transfers of financial assets under FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, as either sales or financings.
Transfers of financial assets that result in sales accounting are those in which (1) the transfer legally isolates the transferred assets from the transferor, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets
and no condition both constrains the transferees right to pledge or exchange the assets and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor, and (3) the transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets. If
the transfer does not meet these criteria, the transfer is accounted for as a financing. Financial assets that are treated as sales are removed from our accounts with any realized gain (loss) reflected in earnings during the period of sale.
Financial assets that are treated as financings are maintained on the balance sheet with proceeds received from the legal transfer reflected as securitized borrowings, or security-related receivables.

g. Revenue Recognition



| | 1) | Investment interest incomeWe recognize interest income from investments in commercial mortgages, mezzanine loans, and other securities on a yield to
maturity basis. Upon the acquisition of a loan at a discount, we assess the portions of the discount that constitute accretable yields and non-accretable differences. The accretable yield represents the excess of our expected cash flows from the
loan over the amount we paid for the loan. That amount, the accretable yield, is accreted to interest income over the remaining life of the loan. Many of our commercial mortgages and mezzanine loans provide for the accrual of interest at specified
rates which differ from current payment terms. Interest income is recognized on such loans at the accrual rate subject to managements determination that accrued interest and outstanding principal are ultimately collectible.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For investments that we did not elect to record at fair value under FASB ASC Topic 825,
Financial Instruments, origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized to net investment income, using the effective interest method, over the contractual life of the underlying loan security or loan, in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, Receivables.

For investments that we elected to record at fair
value under FASB ASC Topic 825, origination fees and direct loan costs are recorded in income and are not deferred.

We recognize interest income from interests in certain securitized financial assets on an estimated effective yield to
maturity basis. Management estimates the current yield on the amortized cost of the investment based on estimated cash flows after considering prepayment and credit loss experience.



| | 2) | Rental incomeWe generate rental income from tenant rent and other tenant-related activities at our consolidated real estate properties. For multi-family
real estate properties, rental income is recorded when due from residents and recognized monthly as it is earned and realizable, under lease terms which are generally for periods of one year or less. For retail and office real estate properties,
rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. Leases
also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of a portion of common area maintenance and other operating expenses to the extent that a tenants pro rata share of expenses exceeds a base year level set in the lease.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3) | Fee and other incomeWe generate fee and other income through our various subsidiaries by (a) providing ongoing asset management services to investment
portfolios under cancelable management agreements, (b) providing or arranging to provide financing to our borrowers, (c) property management services to third parties, and (d) providing fixed income trading and advisory services to
our customers. We recognize revenue for these activities when the fees are fixed or determinable, are evidenced by an arrangement, collection is reasonably assured and the services under the arrangement have been provided. While we may receive asset
management fees when they are earned, we eliminate earned asset management fee income from CDOs while such CDOs are consolidated. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we received $3,671 and $4,977, respectively, of
earned asset management fees associated with consolidated CDOs, of which we eliminated $1,016 and $2,856, respectively, of management fee income.

h. Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. Certain of
the techniques used to hedge exposure to interest rate fluctuations may also be used to protect against declines in the market value of assets that result from general trends in debt markets. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize
the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, we measure each derivative instrument (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record such amounts in our consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, derivatives not designated as hedges,
or for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges associated with debt for which we elected the fair value option under FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in
earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges
are recognized in earnings.

i. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters.
Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and
the

instruments complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated
with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations
of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
The types of assets carried at level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fair value assets and liabilities that are generally included in this category are unsecured REIT note receivables, commercial
mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, receivables and certain financial instruments classified as derivatives where the fair value is based on observable market inputs.



| |  |  | Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity
for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its
entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires
judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset. Generally, assets and liabilities carried at fair value and included in this category are trust preferred securities, or TruPS, and subordinated debentures, trust preferred obligations and CDO
notes payable where observable market inputs do not exist.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The availability of observable inputs can vary
depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, whether the investment is new, whether the investment is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary
market, and the current market condition. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment
exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

Fair value is a market-based
measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to
reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. We use prices and inputs that management believes are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of
market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 3.

Many financial instruments have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that we
and others are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the lowest price that we and others are willing to accept for an asset. For financial instruments whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices, we do not require that fair value always be
a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. Our policy is to allow for mid-market pricing and adjusting to the point within the bid-ask range that results in our best estimate of fair value.

Fair value for certain of our Level 3 financial instruments is derived using internal valuation models. These internal valuation models
include discounted cash flow analyses developed by management using current interest rates, estimates of the term of the particular instrument, specific issuer information and other market data for securities without an active market. In accordance
with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the impact of our own credit spreads is also considered when measuring the fair value of financial assets or liabilities, including derivative contracts. Where
appropriate, valuation adjustments are made to account for various factors, including bid-ask spreads, credit quality and market liquidity. These adjustments are applied on a consistent basis and are based on observable inputs where available.
Managements estimate of fair value requires significant management judgment and is subject to a high degree of variability based upon market conditions, the availability of specific issuer information and managements assumptions.

j. Income Taxes

RAIT and Taberna have each elected to be taxed as a REIT and to comply with the related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of our distributions to shareholders and as long as certain asset, income and share ownership tests are met. If we were
to fail to meet these requirements, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and amounts available for distributions to our shareholders. Management believes that all of
the criteria to maintain



8

RAIT Financial Trust

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2010

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)



RAITs and Tabernas REIT qualification have been met for the applicable periods, but there can be no assurance that these criteria will continue to be met in subsequent periods.

We maintain various taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, which may be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes
and foreign taxes. Current and deferred taxes are provided on the portion of earnings (losses) recognized by us with respect to our interest in domestic TRSs. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences
between our GAAP consolidated financial statements and the federal and state income tax basis of assets and liabilities as of the consolidated balance sheet date. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets (e.g., net operating loss and
capital loss carryforwards) and recognize a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of our
deferred tax assets, we consider estimates of expected future taxable income, existing and projected book/tax differences, tax planning strategies available, and the general and industry specific economic outlook. This realizability analysis is
inherently subjective, as it requires management to forecast our business and general economic environment in future periods. Changes in estimate of deferred tax asset realizability, if any, are included in income tax expense on the consolidated
statements of operations.

From time to time, our TRSs generate taxable income from intercompany transactions. The TRS
entities generate taxable revenue from fees for services provided to CDO entities. Some of these fees paid to the TRS entities are capitalized as deferred financing costs by the CDO entities. Certain CDO entities may be consolidated in our financial
statements pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. In consolidation, these fees are eliminated when the CDO entity is included in the consolidated group. Nonetheless, all income taxes are accrued by the TRSs in the year in which
the taxable revenue is received. These income taxes are not eliminated when the related revenue is eliminated in consolidation.

Certain TRS entities are domiciled in the Cayman Islands and, accordingly, taxable income generated by these entities may not be subject
to local income taxation, but generally will be included in our taxable income on a current basis, whether or not distributed. Upon distribution of any previously included income, no incremental U.S. federal, state, or local income taxes would be
payable by us.

The TRS entities may be subject to tax laws that are complex and potentially subject to different
interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant governmental taxing authorities. In establishing a provision for income tax expense, we must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws. Actual
income taxes paid may vary from estimates depending upon changes in income tax laws, actual results of operations, and the final audit of tax returns by taxing authorities. Tax assessments may arise several years after tax returns have been filed.
We review the tax balances of our TRS entities quarterly and as new information becomes available, the balances are adjusted as appropriate.

Certain TRS entities are currently subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. The IRS is currently
examining Taberna Capital Management LLCs, or TCMs, federal income tax returns for the 2006 through 2008 tax years. TCM engaged the services of Taberna Capital (Bermuda), Ltd., or TCB, from June 2006 through June 2008 and RAIT
Capital Ireland Ltd. from July 2008 through the present, to provide various sub-advisory services in connection with TCMs management of various CDOs. Pursuant to a transfer pricing study prepared by an international accounting firm, TCM
deducted the costs paid to TCB for their services from its income for federal income tax purposes. The IRS has challenged the transfer pricing methodology applied by TCM and has issued a Notice, of Proposed Adjustment, or NOPA, for the 2006 and 2007
tax years. The NOPA proposes to reduce the deductions by $7,057 and $14,988 for the 2006 and 2007 tax years. With respect to the 2008 tax year, TCM deducted $18,971 under this transfer pricing methodology. Management is responding to the
IRS NOPA and intends to refute the proposed adjustments. Management believes it has complied with the requirements outlined in the Internal Revenue Code and believes that its tax filing position will be sustained based on its technical merits.

k. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2010, we adopted accounting standards classified under FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, and
accounting standards classified under FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The accounting standard classified under FASB Topic 860 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing
financial assets, and requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions and continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. The accounting standard classified under FASB Topic 810
changes the determination of when a VIE should be consolidated. Under this standard, the determination of whether to consolidate a VIE is based on the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic
performance together with either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE, as well as the VIEs purpose and design. The adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on
our consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 for additional disclosures pertaining to VIEs.

On January 1, 2010, we
adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This accounting standard requires new disclosures for significant transfers
in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and describes the reasons for the transfer. This accounting standard also

updates existing disclosures by providing fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and provides disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to
measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. For Level 3 fair value measurements new disclosures will require entities to present information separately for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements; however,
these disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and
management is currently evaluating the impact the new Level 3 fair value measurement disclosures may have on our consolidated financial statements.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we converted four loans, comprised of six multi-family
properties, to owned real estate. Upon conversion, we recorded the six properties at fair value of $41,340. We previously held bridge or mezzanine loans with respect to these real estate properties.

As of January 1, 2010, we adopted an accounting standard which changed the determination of the consolidation of VIEs. Accordingly, we
consolidated two office properties as of January 1, 2010 as we are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The fair value of the properties consolidated, net of their related liabilities at fair value, was $5,005 as of January 1, 2010.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, these investments contributed revenue of $1,293 and
a net loss allocable to common shares of $212. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we did not incur any third-party acquisition-related costs.

Our consolidated unaudited pro forma information, after including the acquisition of real estate properties, is presented below as if the
conversion occurred on January 1, 2009 and 2010, respectively. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the periods
presented, nor does the pro forma financial information purport to represent the results of operations for future periods:

These amounts have been
calculated after adjusting the results of the acquired businesses to reflect the additional depreciation that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to our investments in real estate had been applied from January 1, 2009
and 2010, respectively, together with the consequential tax effects.

We have not yet completed the process of estimating the
fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, our preliminary estimates and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as we complete the process. In accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 805, changes, if any, to the preliminary estimates and allocation will be reported in our financial statements retrospectively.

NOTE 6: INDEBTEDNESS

We maintain various forms of short-term and long-term financing arrangements. Generally, these financing agreements are collateralized by
assets within CDOs or mortgage securitizations. The following table summarizes our total recourse and non-recourse indebtedness as of March 31, 2010:

Recourse indebtedness refers to indebtedness that is recourse to our general assets, including the loans
payable on real estate that are guaranteed by RAIT or RAIT Partnership. As indicated in the table above, our consolidated financial statements include recourse indebtedness of $371,969 as of March 31, 2010. Non-recourse indebtedness consists of
indebtedness of consolidated VIEs (i.e. CDOs and other securitization vehicles) and loans payable on real estate which is recourse only to specific assets pledged as collateral to the lenders. The creditors of each consolidated VIE have no recourse
to our general credit.

The current status or activity in our financing arrangements occurring as of or during the three-month
period ended March 31, 2010 is as follows:

Recourse Indebtedness

Convertible senior notes. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we repurchased $54,500 in aggregate principal
amount of our 6.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, or the convertible senior notes, for a total consideration of $35,746. The purchase price consisted of $6,925 in cash, the issuance of 3,150,000 common shares, and the issuance of a $22,000
10.0% Senior Secured Convertible Note due April 2014, or the senior secured convertible note. See Senior Secured Convertible Note below. As a result of these transactions, we recorded gains on extinguishment of debt of $17,103, net of
deferred financing costs and unamortized discounts that were written off.

Secured credit facilities.As of
March 31, 2010, we have borrowed an aggregate amount of $48,203 under three secured credit facilities, each with a different bank. All of our secured credit facilities are secured by designated commercial mortgages and mezzanine loans. As
of March 31, 2010, the first secured credit facility had an unpaid principal balance of $21,023 which is payable in December 2011 under the current terms of this facility. As of March 31, 2010, the second secured credit facility had an unpaid
principal balance of $22,180. This facility terminated in April 2010 and the unpaid principal balance is payable in April 2011. As of March 31, 2010, the third secured credit facility had an unpaid principal balance of $5,000. We
are amortizing this balance with monthly principal repayments of $500 which will result in the full repayment of this credit facility by February 2011.

Senior secured convertible note.On March 25, 2010, pursuant to a securities exchange agreement, we acquired from a
noteholder $47,000 aggregate principal amount of our convertible senior notes for a total consideration of $31,240. The purchase price consisted of (a) our issuance of the $22,000 senior secured convertible note, (b) 1,500,000 common
shares issued, and (c) $6,000 in cash. The senior secured

convertible note is convertible into our common shares at the option of the holder. The conversion price is $3.50 per common share and the senior secured convertible note may be converted at any
time during its term. We also paid $1,427 of accrued and unpaid interest on the convertible notes through March 25, 2010. The holder of the senior secured convertible note converted $1,050 principal amount of the senior secured convertible note into
300,000 common shares effective May 5, 2010.

The senior secured convertible note bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per
year. Interest accrues from March 25, 2010 and will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning July 15, 2010. The senior secured convertible note matures on
April 20, 2014 unless previously prepaid in accordance with its terms prior to such date. The senior secured convertible note is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by two wholly owned subsidiaries of RAIT, or the guarantors: RAIT Asset
Holdings III Member, LLC, or RAHM3, and RAIT Asset Holdings III, LLC, or RAH3. RAHM3 is the sole member of RAH3 and has pledged the equity of RAH3 to secure its guarantee. RAH3s assets consist of certain CDO notes payable issued by RAITs
consolidated securitization, RAIT Preferred Funding II, LTD.

The maturity date of the senior secured convertible note may be
accelerated upon the occurrence of specified customary events of default, the satisfaction of any related notice provisions and the failure to remedy such event of default, where applicable. These events of default include: RAITs failure to
pay any amount of principal or interest on the senior secured convertible note when due; the failure of RAIT or any guarantor to perform any obligation on its or their part in any transaction document; and events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization affecting RAIT or any guarantor.

Non-Recourse Indebtedness

CDO notes payable, at amortized cost.CDO notes payable at amortized cost represent notes issued by consolidated CDO
entities which are used to finance the acquisition of unsecured REIT notes, CMBS securities, commercial mortgages, mezzanine loans, and other loans in our commercial real estate portfolio. Generally, CDO notes payable are comprised of various
classes of notes payable, with each class bearing interest at variable or fixed rates. Both of our CRE CDOs are meeting all of their OC and IC trigger tests as of March 31, 2010.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we repurchased, from the market, a total of $3,000 in aggregate principal amount
of CDO notes payable issued by RAIT II. The aggregate purchase price was $293 and we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2,707.

CDO notes payable, at fair value.Both of our Taberna consolidated CDOs are failing overcollateralization, or OC, trigger
tests which cause a change to the priority of payments to the debt and equity holders of the respective securitizations. Upon the failure of an OC test, the indenture of each CDO requires cash flows that would otherwise have been distributed to us
as equity distributions, or in some cases interest payments on our retained CDO notes payable, to be used to pay down sequentially the outstanding principal balance of the most senior note holders. The OC tests failures are due to defaulted
collateral assets and credit risk securities. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, $2,663 of cash flows were re-directed from our retained interests in these CDOs and were used to repay the most senior holders of our CDO notes
payable.

NOTE 7: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The
principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are
major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. In the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, we are potentially exposed to credit loss. However, because of the high credit ratings
of the counterparties, we do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

Cash Flow Hedges

We have entered into various interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate exposure on floating rate
indebtedness. We designate interest rate hedge agreements at inception and determine whether or not the interest rate hedge agreement is highly effective in offsetting interest rate fluctuations associated with the identified indebtedness. At
designation, certain of these interest rate swaps had a fair value not equal to zero. However, we concluded, at designation, that these hedging arrangements were highly effective during their term using regression analysis and determined that the
hypothetical derivative method would be used in measuring any ineffectiveness. At each reporting period, we update our regression analysis and, as of March 31, 2010, we concluded that these hedging arrangements were highly effective during
their remaining term and used the hypothetical derivative method in measuring the ineffective portions of these hedging arrangements.

On January 1, 2008, we adopted the fair value option, which has been classified under FASB ASC Topic
825, Financial Instruments, for certain of our CDO notes payable. Upon the adoption of this standard, hedge accounting for any previously designated cash flow hedges associated with these CDO notes payable was discontinued and all
changes in fair value of these cash flow hedges are recorded in earnings. As of March 31, 2010, the notional value associated with these cash flow hedges where hedge accounting was discontinued was $970,276 and had a liability balance with a
fair value of $109,678. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the change in value of these hedges was a decrease of $17,815 and an increase of $8,293, respectively. The change in value of these hedges was recorded as a
component of the change in fair value of financial instruments in our consolidated statement of operations.

Amounts
reclassified to earnings associated with effective cash flow hedges are reported in investment interest expense and the fair value of these hedge agreements is included in other assets or derivative liabilities.

NOTE 8: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of investments in mortgages and loans, investments in securities, trust preferred obligations, CDO notes payable, convertible senior notes, junior subordinated notes and derivative assets and
liabilities is based on significant observable and unobservable inputs. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, secured credit facilities, senior secured notes, loans payable on real estate and other indebtedness approximates
cost due to the nature of these instruments.

The changes in the fair value for the investment in securities, CDO notes payable and other liabilities for
which the fair value option was elected for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was primarily attributable to changes in instrument specific credit risks. The changes in the fair value of derivatives for which the fair value
option was elected for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was mainly due to changes in interest rates.

NOTE 9:
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

On January 1, 2010, we adopted an accounting standard which provided guidance when to
consolidate a VIE. Under the new standard, the determination of when to consolidate a VIE is based on the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance together with either the
obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE. Upon adoption, we evaluated our investments under this new consolidation standard and the following changes in previous consolidation conclusions were
made:



| |  |  | TruPSInvestment andObligations  Previously, we held implicit interests in trusts which issued TruPS. Under the previous
consolidation guidance, we were considered to be primary beneficiaries of the trusts and reported their assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. RAIT does not meet both criteria to be the primary beneficiary of these entities as we
do not have the power to direct the activities of the underlying trusts. Therefore, we deconsolidated these entities as of January 1, 2010 by reducing our assets and liabilities by $70,872.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Investments in Real Estate  We identified two properties to be VIEs that we previously did not consolidate as we were not previously the
primary beneficiary: Willow Grove and Cherry Hill. RAIT evaluated its interests in these real estate properties and determined that we are the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation of these properties on January 1, 2010, we increased our assets
and liabilities by $20,931.

Common Shares

Share Repurchases:

On
January 26, 2010, the compensation committee approved a cash payment to the Boards eight non-management trustees intended to constitute a portion of their respective 2010 annual non-management trustee compensation. The cash payment was
subject to terms and conditions set forth in a letter agreement, or the letter agreement, between each of the non-management trustees and RAIT. The terms and conditions included a requirement that each trustee use a portion of the cash payment to
purchase RAITs common shares in purchases that, individually and in the aggregate with all purchases made by all the other non-management trustees pursuant to their respective letter agreements, complied with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The aggregate amount required to be used by all of the non-management trustees to purchase common shares is $240.

Equity Compensation:

On
January 26, 2010, the compensation committee awarded 1,500,000 phantom units, valued at $1,905 using our closing stock price of $1.27, to our executive officers. Half of these awards vested immediately and the remainder vests in one year. On
January 26, 2010, the compensation committee awarded 500,000 phantom units, valued at $635 using our closing stock price of $1.27, to our non-executive officer employees. These awards generally vest over three-year periods.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2010, 70,392 phantom unit awards were redeemed for common shares. These phantom units were
fully vested at the time of redemption.

Share Issuances:

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we issued 3,150,000 common shares, along with cash and the issuance of a senior
secured convertible note, to repurchase $54,500 of our convertible notes. See Note 7-Indebtedness above.

Dividend Reinvestment
and Share Purchase Plan (DRSPP):

We implemented an amended and restated dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan, or
DRSPP, effective as of March 13, 2008, pursuant to which we registered and reserved for issuance 10,000,000 common shares. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we issued a total of 473,762 common shares pursuant to the
DRSPP at a weighted-average price of $2.11 per share and we received $1,000 of net proceeds. Effective May 7, 2010 we registered an additional 8,787,635 common shares so that, together with previously registered common shares available for
issuance under the DRSPP, 12,000,000 common shares, in the aggregate, are available for issuance under the DRSPP.

Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement (SEDA):

On January 13, 2010, we entered into a standby equity distribution agreement, or the
SEDA, with YA Global Master SPV Ltd., or YA Global, which is managed by Yorkville Advisors, LLC, whereby YA Global agreed to purchase up to $50,000, or the commitment amount, worth of newly issued RAIT common shares upon notices given by us, subject
to the terms and conditions of the SEDA. The SEDA terminates automatically on the earlier of January 13, 2012 or the date YA Global has purchased $50,000 worth of common shares under the SEDA. The number of common shares issued or issuable
pursuant to the SEDA, in the aggregate, cannot exceed 12,500,000 common shares. As of March 31, 2010, no shares have been issued pursuant to this arrangement.

NOTE 12: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of our business operations, we have ongoing relationships and have engaged in transactions with several related
entities described below. All of these relationships and transactions were approved or ratified by a majority of our independent trustees as being on terms comparable to those available on an arms-length basis from an unaffiliated third
party or otherwise not creating a conflict of interest.

Our Chairman, Betsy Z. Cohen, is the Chief Executive Officer and a
director of The Bancorp, Inc., or Bancorp, and Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bancorp Bank, a commercial bank. Daniel G. Cohen was our chief executive officer from the date of the Taberna
acquisition until his resignation from that position on February 22, 2009. Mr. Cohen was a trustee of RAIT from the date of the Taberna acquisition until his resignation from that position on February 26, 2010. Mr. Cohen is the
Chairman of the Board of Bancorp and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Bancorp Bank. Each transaction with Bancorp is described below:

a). Cash and Restricted CashWe maintain checking and demand deposit accounts at Bancorp. As of March 31,
2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $97 and $410, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents and $780 and $1,601, respectively, of restricted cash on deposit at Bancorp. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, we received $7 of
interest income from Bancorp. We did not receive any interest income from the Bancorp during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010. Restricted cash held at Bancorp relates to borrowers escrows for taxes, insurance and capital
reserves. Any interest earned on these deposits enures to the benefit of the specific borrower and not to us.

b). Office LeasesWe sublease a portion of our downtown Philadelphia office space from Bancorp at an annual
rental expense based upon the amount of square footage occupied. We have signed a sublease agreement with a third party for the remaining term of our sublease. Rent paid to Bancorp was $68 and $84 for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. Rent received for our sublease was $41 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010.

Mr. Cohen holds controlling positions in various companies with which we conduct business. Mr. Cohen serves as the Chairman of
the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer of Cohen & Company Inc. or, Cohen & Company, and as the Chairman of the

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)



board of managers, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Cohen Brothers, LLC, or Cohen Brothers, a majority owned subsidiary of Cohen & Company. Each transaction
between us and Cohen & Company is described below:

a). Office LeasesWe maintain
sub-lease agreements for shared office space and facilities with Cohen & Company. Rent expense during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, relating to these leases was $12 and $12, respectively. Rent expense has been
included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Future minimum lease payments due over the remaining term of the lease are $295.

b). Common Shares As of December 31, 2009, Cohen & Company and its affiliate entities owned
510,434 of our common shares. During the period ended March 31, 2010, Cohen & Company and its affiliates sold these shares and do not own any of our common shares as March 31, 2010.

c). Brokerage ServicesDuring 2010, Cohen & Company sold $6,500 Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage
Securities to an unrelated third party using the broker-dealer services of RAIT Securities, LLC, for which we earned $33 in principal transaction income.

d). EuroDekaniaEuroDekania is an affiliate of Cohen & Company. In September 2007, EuroDekania
purchased approximately 10,000 ($13,892) of the subordinated notes and all of the 32,250 ($44,802) BBB-rated debt securities in Taberna Europe CDO II. We invested 17,500 ($24,311) in the total subordinated notes and earn management
fees of 35 basis points on the collateral assets owned by this entity. EuroDekania receives a fee equal to 3.5 basis points of our subordinated collateral management fee which is payable to EuroDekania only if we collect our subordinated management
fee and EuroDekania retains an investment in the subordinated notes. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we did not receive any subordinated collateral management fees; therefore, no collateral management fee expense
was payable to EuroDekania.

e). Star AsiaStar Asia is an affiliate of Cohen & Company.
During 2010, Star Asia purchased $2,315 LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust securities from an unrelated third party using the broker-dealer services of RAIT Securities, LLC, for which we did not earn any principal transaction income. In March 2009,
Star Asia issued debt securities to a third party, upon which a subsequent exchange offer was entered into with Taberna Preferred Funding III, Ltd., or Taberna III, for $22,425 and Taberna Preferred Funding IV, Ltd., or Taberna IV, for $19,434.
Taberna Capital Management was the collateral manager for Taberna III and Taberna IV. We received an opinion from an independent third party concluding that the transaction was fair from Taberna III and IVs financial viewpoint. There were no
fees earned by Taberna Capital Management or Star Asia.

f).Kleros Preferred Funding VIII,
Ltd.Kleros Preferred Funding VIII, Ltd., or Kleros VIII, is a securitization managed by Cohen & Company. In June 2007, we purchased approximately $26,400 in par amount of bonds rated A through BBB issued by Kleros VIII, for a
purchase price of approximately $23,997. As of March 31, 2010, the bonds have a current fair value of $0 and have been placed on non-accrual status.

Brandywine Construction & Management, Inc., or Brandywine, is an affiliate of Edward E. Cohen, the spouse of Betsy Z. Cohen and
father of Daniel G. Cohen. Brandywine provided real estate management services to two properties underlying our investments in real estate. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, Brandywine earned management fees of $26
and $26, respectively. We believe that the management fees charged by Brandywine are comparable to those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

NOTE 13: ASSET DISPOSITIONS

During 2009, we disposed of our investments in six residential mortgage portfolios and four Taberna CDOs. All assets sold and related
liabilities were removed from our consolidated balance sheet on the date of sale, with any gains or losses on dispositions recorded in our accompanying statements of operations under gains (losses) on sale of assets.

On July 16, 2009, we sold our residential mortgage portfolio to an affiliate of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P., pursuant to a
Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2009 between our subsidiary, Taberna Loan Holdings I, LLC, and AG Park Lane I Corp. We sold all of our notes and equity interests, or the retained interests, together with any principal or
interest payable thereon, issued by the following six securitizations of residential mortgage loans: Bear Stearns ARM Trust 2005-7, Bear Stearns ARM Trust 2005-9, Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-1, CWABS Trust 2005 HYB9, Merrill Lynch Mortgage
Investors Trust, Series 2005-A9 and Merrill Lynch Mortgage Backed Securities Trust, Series 2007-2. The purchase price paid by the buyer was $15,800, plus accrued interest and we recorded a $61,841 loss on sale of assets.

Previously we consolidated Taberna Preferred Funding III, Ltd, Taberna Preferred Funding IV, Ltd., Taberna Preferred Funding VI, Ltd. and
Taberna Preferred Funding VII, Ltd., four securitizations in which we were determined to be the primary beneficiary primarily due to our majority ownership of the equity interests issued by the securitizations. On June 25, 2009, we sold all of
our equity interests and a portion of our non-investment grade debt that we owned in these four securitizations and determined that we are no longer the primary beneficiary and, therefore, we deconsolidated the securitizations in accordance with
FASB ASC Topic

15: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Riverside National Bank of Florida Litigation

RAIT subsidiary Taberna Capital Management, LLC is named as one of fifteen defendants in a lawsuit filed by Riverside National Bank of
Florida, or Riverside, on November 13, 2009 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. (A substantially similar action was filed by Riverside on August 6, 2009 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County

Kings, and subsequently discontinued without prejudice and refiled in New York County.) The action, titled Riverside National Bank of Florida v. The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Moodys
Investors Service, Inc., Fitch, Inc., Taberna Capital Management, LLC, Cohen & Company Financial Management, LLC f/k/a Cohen Bros. Financial Management LLC, FTN Financial Capital Markets, Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets, Credits Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, ABN Amro, Inc., Cohen & Company, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.,
asserts claims in connection with Riversides purchase of certain CDO securities, including securities from the Taberna Preferred Funding II, IV, and V CDOs. Riverside alleges that offering materials issued in connection with the CDOs it
purchased did not adequately disclose the process by which the rating agencies rated each of the securities. Riverside also alleges, among other things, that the offering materials should have disclosed an alleged conflict of interest of the rating
agencies as well as the role that the rating agencies played in structuring each CDO. Riverside seeks damages in excess of $132 million, rescission of its purchases of the securities at issue, an accounting of certain amounts received by the
defendants together with the imposition of a constructive trust, and punitive damages of an unspecified amount. On December 11, 2009, the defendants moved to dismiss all of Riversides claims. Riverside filed oppositions to the
defendants motions on February 19, 2010, voluntarily dismissing its contract causes of action and opposing the remainder of defendants motions to dismiss. No date for oral argument of the motions has been set. On April 16,
2010, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency closed Riverside and named the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver and thus as successor-in-interest to Riverside as plaintiff in this action. In a Purchase and Assumption Agreement
dated April 16, 2010, TD Bank, National Association, acquired the banking operations of Riverside from the FDIC, but appears not to have acquired Riversides litigation claims. On May 4, 2010, Riverside moved to substitute the FDIC as
plaintiff and to stay this action for 90 days. An adverse resolution of the litigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Routine Litigation

We
are involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants of owned properties, disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties and disputes arising out of our loan portfolio. Given the nature
of our business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of our business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature,
and the jury system. We do not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such routine legal actions will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 16: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 22, 2010 RAIT sold or delegated its collateral management rights and responsibilities relating to eight Taberna
securitizations with approximately $5.9 billion in total assets under management to an affiliate of certain funds managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC for $16.5 million. These securitizations were not consolidated by RAIT and
were comprised of Taberna Preferred Funding II, Ltd. through Taberna Preferred Funding VII, Ltd., Taberna Europe CDO I, P.L.C., and Taberna Europe CDO II, P.L.C. The transaction generated a $9.3 million in gain on sale of asset.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Trustees and Shareholders of RAIT Financial Trust

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of RAIT Financial Trust and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying
financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1k and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the new accounting standards classified under
FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation for variable interest entities on January 1, 2010.

We have previously
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive
income (loss), shareholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March 1, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. These statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including may, believe, will, expect, anticipate, estimate, continue or similar words. These forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, as more particularly set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in the Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors
sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which reflect managements analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the
date of this report, except as may be required by applicable law.

Overview

We are a vertically integrated commercial real estate company capable of originating, investing in, managing, servicing, trading and
advising on commercial real estate-related assets. In 2010, we continue to progress in adapting RAIT to the current market environment. We are positioning RAIT for future growth in the area of its historical core competency, commercial real estate
lending, while diversifying the revenue generated from our commercial real estate loans and properties and reducing or removing other non-core assets and activities.

In order to take advantage of market opportunities in the future, and to maximize shareholder value over time, we will continue to focus
on:



| |  |  | expanding RAITs commercial real estate revenue by investing in commercial real estate-related assets, managing and servicing investments for our
own account or for others, providing property management services and providing our broker-dealer activities, including fixed-income trading and real estate advisory services;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | creating value through investing in our commercial real estate properties and implementing cost savings programs to help maximize property value over
time;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reducing our leverage while developing new financing sources;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | managing our investment portfolios to reposition non-performing assets, increase our cash flows and ultimately recover the value of our assets over
time; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | managing the size and cost structure of our business to match our operating environment.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We generated net income of $34.5 million, or $0.41 per common share during the three-months ended March 31, 2010, primarily by the
following:



| |  |  | Gains on debt extinguishments. During the three-months ended March 31, 2010, we repurchased $54.5 million of our convertible notes and $3.0
million of our CDO notes payable for total consideration of $35.7 million. The consideration was comprised of: cash of $6.9 million, the issuance of a $22.0 million convertible senior note and 3.2 million common shares. These transactions
generated $19.8 million in gains on extinguishment of debt. See Liquidity and Capital Resources-Capitalization below for more information regarding these transactions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provision for losses. The provision for losses recorded during the three-months ended March 31, 2010, was $17.4 million. While we recorded
additional provision for losses during the three-months ended March 31, 2010, we saw improvement in the performance of our portfolio of commercial real estate loans from prior quarters.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Change in fair value of financial instruments. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the net change in fair value of financial
instruments increased net income by $16.4 million. Generally, the change in fair value of our financial assets, which are recorded at fair value under FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, was the primary driver of this improvement
with several of our assets improving. This is consistent with the general improvement in asset pricing throughout the financial sector during the first quarter of 2010.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect to continue to focus our efforts on enhancing our commercial real estate loan portfolio and our investments in real estate,
which are our primary investment portfolios. Although economic conditions are improving, some of our borrowers within our commercial real estate loan portfolio are under financial stress. Where it is likely to enhance our ultimate returns, we will
consider restructuring loans or foreclosing on the underlying property. During the three-months ended March 31, 2010, we converted four loans, comprised of six properties, into direct ownership. We expect to engage in ongoing workout activity
with respect to our commercial real estate loans that may result in the conversion of the property into owned real estate. We may take a non-cash charge to earnings at the time of any loan conversion to the extent the amount of our loan, reduced by
any allowance for losses and certain other expenses, exceeds the fair value of the property at the time of the conversion.

As described below under Securitizations, in April 2010 we sold or delegated our
collateral management rights and responsibilities relating to eight unconsolidated Taberna securitizations. While this transaction reduced our assets under management from $10.0 billion at March 31, 2010 to $4.1 billion, it also generated $16.5
million of cash and is consistent with our strategy of focusing on our commercial real estate portfolio. The transaction generated a $9.3 million in gain on sale of asset.

Our Investment Portfolio

Our consolidated investment portfolio is currently comprised of the following asset classes:

Commercial mortgages, mezzanine loans, other loans and preferred equity interests.We have originated senior long-term
mortgage loans, short-term bridge loans, subordinated, or mezzanine, financing and preferred equity interests. Our financing is usually non-recourse. Non-recourse financing means we look primarily to the assets securing
the payment of the loan, subject to certain standard exceptions. We may also engage in recourse financing by requiring personal guarantees from controlling persons of our borrowers. We also acquire existing commercial real estate loans held by
banks, other institutional lenders or third-party investors. Where possible, we seek to maintain direct lending relationships with borrowers, as opposed to investing in loans controlled by third party lenders.

capacity to originate new investments. However, we expect to focus on this asset class when economic conditions improve and as existing loans are repaid.

Investments in real estate.We generate a return on our real estate investments through rental income and other sources of
income from the operations of the real estate underlying our investment. We also benefit from any increase in the value of the real estate in addition to current income. We finance our acquisitions of real estate through a combination of secured
mortgage financing provided by financial institutions and existing financing provided by our two CRE loan securitizations. During 2010, we acquired $41.3 million of real estate investments upon conversion of $52.1 million of commercial real estate
loans, usually subject to retaining the existing financing provided by our two CRE loan securitizations. As of March 31, 2010, we owned 7,893 multifamily units, 1,550,401 square feet of office space and 1,069,652 square feet of retail space.
The average occupancy of our portfolio of 46 properties is 70.8% as of March 31, 2010.

|--- | --------------------

Investment in debt securities. We have provided REITs and real estate operating companies the ability to raise subordinated
debt capital through TruPS and subordinated debentures. TruPS are long-term instruments, with maturities ranging from 5 to 30 years, which are priced based on short-term variable rates, such as the three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, or
LIBOR. TruPS are unsecured and generally contain minimal financial and operating covenants. We financed most of our debt securities portfolio in a series of non-recourse securitizations which provided long-dated, interest-only, match funded
financing to the TruPS and subordinated debenture investments. As of March 31, 2010, we retained a controlling interest in two securitizationsTaberna VIII and Taberna IX, which are consolidated entities. All of the collateral assets for
the debt securities and the related non-recourse CDO financing obligations are presented at fair value in our reported results.

We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, in CMBS, unsecured REIT notes and other real estate-related debt securities.

Unsecured REIT notes are publicly traded debentures issued by large public reporting REITs and other real estate companies.
These debentures generally pay interest semi-annually. These companies are generally rated investment grade by one or more nationally recognized rating agencies.

CMBS generally are multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured or backed by single loans or pools of mortgage loans on
commercial real estate properties. Our CMBS investments may include loans and securities that are rated investment grade by one or more nationally-recognized rating agencies, as well as both unrated and non-investment grade loans and securities.

Securitization Summary

Overview.We have used securitizations, mainly through CDOs, to match fund the interest rates and maturities of our assets
with the interest rates and maturities of the related financing. This strategy has helped us reduce interest rate and funding risks on our portfolio for the long-term. To finance our investments in the foreseeable future, management will seek to
structure match funded financing through reinvesting asset repayments in our existing securitizations, loan participations, bank lines of credit, joint-venture opportunities and other methods that preserve our capital while making investments that
generate an attractive return.

A CDO is a securitization structure in which multiple classes of debt and equity are issued by
a special purpose entity to finance a portfolio of assets. Cash flow from the portfolio of assets is used to repay the CDO liabilities sequentially, in order of seniority. The most senior classes of debt typically have credit ratings of
AAA through BBB and therefore can be issued at yields that are lower than the average yield of the securities backing the CDO. The debt tranches are typically rated based on portfolio quality, diversification and
structural subordination. The equity securities issued by the CDO are the first loss piece of the capital structure, but they are entitled to all residual amounts available for payment after the obligations to the debt holders have been
satisfied. Unlike typical securitization structures, the underlying assets in our CDO pool may be sold or repaid, subject to certain limitations, without a corresponding pay-down of the CDO debt, provided the proceeds are reinvested in qualifying
assets.

CDO Management. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and through April 20, 2010, we served
as the collateral manager for all 13 CDO securitizations we sponsored with varying amounts of retained or residual interests held by us. In general, during this period, we received senior asset management fees, based on the amount of collateral
assets, as a priority ahead of debt service payments. On April 21, 2010, we sold or delegated our collateral management rights and responsibilities relating to eight unconsolidated Taberna securitizations to an affiliate of Fortress Investment
Group, LLC, or Fortress, for $16.5 million. These securitizations were comprised of Taberna II, Taberna III, Taberna IV, Taberna V, Taberna VI, Taberna VII, Taberna Europe I, and

##### Table of Contents

Taberna Europe II. Subsequent to the transaction with Fortress in April, we receive collateral management fees only for Taberna I, Taberna VIII, Taberna IX, RAIT I and RAIT II.

CDO Performance. Our CDOs contain interest coverage and overcollateralization triggers, or OC Triggers, that must be met in
order for us to receive our subordinated management fees and our lower-rated debt or residual equity returns. If the interest coverage or OC Triggers are not met in a given period, then the cash flows are redirected from lower rated tranches and
used to repay the principal amounts to the senior tranches of CDO notes payable. These conditions and the re-direction of cash flow continue until the triggers are met by curing the underlying payment defaults, paying down the CDO notes payable or
other actions permitted under the relevant CDO indenture.

As of the most recent payment information, the following CDO
securitizations were not passing their required interest coverage or OC Triggers and we received only senior asset management fees and interest on certain of the more senior-rated debt owned by us related to these CDO transactions: Taberna I,
Taberna II, Taberna III, Taberna IV, Taberna V, Taberna VI, Taberna VII, Taberna VIII, Taberna IX, Taberna Europe I and Taberna Europe II. In addition, events of default existed in Taberna II, Taberna III, Taberna IV and Taberna VI. An event of
default in a CDO may be cause for our removal as collateral manager of that CDO in limited circumstances where an event of default is caused by a breach or default of the collateral manager. We are unable to predict with certainty which CDOs, in the
future, will experience events of default or which, if any, remedies the appropriate note holders may seek to exercise in the future. All applicable interest coverage and OC Triggers continue to be met for our two commercial real estate CDOs, RAIT I
and RAIT II and we continue to receive all of our management fees, interest and residual returns from these CDOs.

Set forth
below is a summary of the CDO investments in our consolidated securitizations as of the most recent payment information is as follows (dollars in millions):



| |  |  | Taberna VIIITaberna VIII has $674.0 million of total collateral, of which $85.1 million is defaulted. The current overcollateralization
(O/C) test is failing at 91.3% with an O/C trigger of 103.5%. We have invested $133.0 million in this CDO. We do not expect to receive any distributions from this securitization other than our senior management fees for the foreseeable future.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Taberna IXTaberna IX has $704.5 million of total collateral, of which $154.1 million is defaulted. The current O/C test is failing at
81.4% with an O/C trigger of 105.4%. We have invested $186.5 million in this CDO. We do not expect to receive any distributions from this securitization other than our senior management fees for the foreseeable future.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | RAIT IRAIT I has $1.0 billion of total collateral, of which $64.3 million is defaulted. The current O/C test is passing at 120.1% with an
O/C trigger of 116.2%. We have invested $223.5 million in this CDO. We are currently receiving all distributions required by the terms of our retained interests in this securitization and are receiving all of our senior collateral management fees.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | RAIT IIRAIT II has $815.1 million of total collateral, of which $20.0 million is defaulted. The current O/C test is passing at 114.9% with
an O/C trigger of 111.7%. We have invested $233.7 million in this CDO. We are currently receiving all distributions required by the terms of our retained interests in this securitization and are receiving all of our senior collateral management
fees.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally, our investments in the subordinated notes and equity securities in our consolidated CDOs
are subordinate in right of payment and in liquidation to the senior notes issued by the CDOs. We may also own common shares, or the non-economic residual interest, in certain of the entities above.

Assets Under Management

We use assets under management, or AUM, as a tool to measure our financial and operating performance. The following defines this measure
and describes its relevance to our financial and operating performance:

Assets under management represents the total assets
that we own or are managing for third parties. While not all AUM generates fee income, it is an important operating measure to gauge our asset growth, volume of originations, size and scale of our operations and our financial performance. AUM
includes our total investment portfolio and assets associated with unconsolidated CDOs for which we derive asset management fees.

REIT Taxable Income

To
qualify as a REIT, we are required to make annual distributions to our shareholders in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. In
addition, to avoid certain U.S. federal excise taxes, we are required to make distributions to our shareholders in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income for each year. Because we expect to make distributions based on the
foregoing requirements, and not based on our earnings computed in accordance with GAAP, we expect that our distributions may at times be more or less than our reported earnings as computed in accordance with GAAP.

Our board of trustees monitors RAITs REIT taxable income, and under its policy, will determine dividends when a full year of REIT
taxable income is available. The board intends to declare a dividend, if any, in at least the amount necessary to meet RAITs annual distribution requirements. The board expects to continue to review and determine the dividends on
RAITs preferred shares on a quarterly basis.

Total taxable income and REIT taxable income are non-GAAP financial
measurements, and do not purport to be an alternative to reported net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of
liquidity. Our total taxable income represents the aggregate amount of taxable income generated by us and by our domestic and foreign TRSs. REIT taxable income is calculated under U.S. federal tax laws in a manner that, in certain respects, differs
from the calculation of net income pursuant to GAAP. REIT taxable income excludes the undistributed taxable income of our domestic TRSs, which is not included in REIT taxable income until distributed to us. Subject to TRS value limitations, there is
no requirement that our domestic TRSs distribute their earnings to us. REIT taxable income, however, generally includes the taxable income of our foreign TRSs because we will generally be required to recognize and report our taxable income on a
current basis. Since we are structured as a REIT and the Internal Revenue Code requires that we distribute substantially all of our net taxable income in the form of distributions to our shareholders, we believe that presenting the information
management uses to calculate our net taxable income is useful to investors in understanding the amount of the minimum distributions that we must make to our shareholders so as to comply with the rules set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Because
not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of total taxable income and REIT taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as determined and reported by other companies.

Results of Operations

Three-Month
Period Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2009

Revenue

Investment interest income.Investment interest income decreased $109.8 million, or 72.6%, to $41.3 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 from $151.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. This net decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in interest income of: $47.1 million resulting from the disposition
of the Taberna III, Taberna IV, Taberna VI and Taberna VII securitizations in June 2009 and $49.9 million resulting from the disposition of the residential mortgage portfolio in July 2009. The remaining decrease primarily resulted from $327.4
million in total principal amount of investments on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2010, 20 new properties, representing $367.4 million of investments in commercial loans, transitioned from loans to real estate owned since March 31,
2009 and the reduction in short-term LIBOR of approximately 0.9% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.

Investment interest expense.Investment interest expense decreased $79.4 million, or 77.1%, to $23.6 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2010 from $103.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. This net decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in interest expense of: $25.0 million resulting from the disposition of the
Taberna III, Taberna IV, Taberna VI and Taberna VII securitizations in June 2009 and $46.3 million resulting from the disposition of the residential mortgage portfolio in July 2009. The remaining decrease is primarily attributable to repurchases of
$153.3 million of our convertible senior notes since March 31, 2009, net of additional interest cost incurred for the insurance of new debt instruments associated therewith, and the effect on our floating rate indebtedness from the reduction in
short-term LIBOR of approximately 0.9% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.

Rental income. Rental income increased $7.5 million to $18.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 from
$11.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to 20 new properties, with direct real estate investments of $310.1 million, acquired or consolidated since March 31, 2009.

Fee and other income.Fee and other income increased $6.0 million, or 213.4%, to $8.8 million for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2010 from $2.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. We received $3.4 million of fee income from our restructuring advisory services, $2.1 million of property management fees and reimbursement income associated
with the

property management activities that we acquired in May 2009 and $0.5 million of increased asset management fees resulting from the recognition of senior collateral management fees on the Taberna
securitizations that were deconsolidated in June 2009.

Expenses

Real estate operating expense.Real estate operating expense increased $4.4 million to $14.1 million for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2010 from $9.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to 20 new properties, with direct real estate investments of $310.1 million, acquired or consolidated since
March 31, 2009.

Compensation expense. Compensation expense increased $2.5 million, or 42.8%, to $8.1 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 from $5.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to $2.0 million of compensation costs associated with the property management activities that
were acquired in May 2009, the expansion of our broker-dealer and advisory activities, and higher stock-based compensation amortization of $0.4 million resulting from the vesting of certain restricted shares and phantom units subsequent to
March 31, 2009.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense increased $0.6 million, or
14.9%, to $4.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 from $4.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. This increase is primarily due to our property management activities that we acquired in May
2009 and our broker-dealer and advisory activities.

Provision for losses.The provision for losses relates to our
investments in our residential mortgages and commercial mortgage loan portfolios. The provision for losses decreased by $102.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 to $17.4 million as compared to $119.5 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to $58.3 million of provision for losses related to our residential mortgage portfolio during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 which was disposed
during July 2009. Subsequent to March 31, 2009, we have transitioned 20 loans to real estate owned properties, with direct real estate investments of $310.1 million and realized losses of $57.3 million when these loans were converted from
impaired loans to owned real estate. While we believe we have properly reserved for the probable losses in our portfolio, we continually monitor our portfolio for evidence of loss and accrue additional provisions for loan losses as circumstances or
conditions change.

Depreciation expense. Depreciation expense increased $2.4 million to $6.4 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2010 from $4.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to 20 new properties, with direct real estate investments of $310.1 million, acquired or
consolidated since March 31, 2009 as well as increased depreciation of furniture and fixtures we added since March 31, 2009.

Amortization of intangible assets. Intangible amortization represents the amortization of intangible assets acquired from Taberna
on December 11, 2006 and Jupiter Communities on May 1, 2009. Amortization expense increased $0.1 million to $0.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 from $0.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
2009. This increase resulted from the $1.6 million of intangible assets acquired from Jupiter Communities on May 1, 2009.

Other Income (Expense)

Gains (losses) on sale of assets. Gains on sale of assets were $3.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31,
2010. The gains on sale of assets are primarily attributable to the disposition of $11.4 million in total principal amount of unsecured REIT note receivables in our CRE securitizations.

Gains on extinguishment of debt. Gains on extinguishment of debt during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 are
attributable to the repurchase of $54.5 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes and $3.0 million in aggregate principal amount of CDO notes payable. The aggregate debt was repurchased from the market for 3,150,000 of our
common shares, issued a $22.0 million senior secured convertible note and $6.9 million of cash. As a result of these repurchases, we recorded gains on extinguishment of debt of $19.8 million.

Change in fair value of financial instruments. The change in fair value of financial
instruments pertains to the majority of our assets within our investments in securities and any related CDO notes payable and derivative instruments used to finance such assets. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the
fair value adjustments we recorded were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations increased $2.2 million to a gain of $0.3
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to a loss of $1.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to one property that was sold during March 2010 for which we
recorded a gain of $0.3 million and a $2.1 million loss on a VIE that was deconsolidated in March 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay
borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay distributions and other general business needs. The disruption in the credit markets has reduced our liquidity and capital resources and has generally increased the cost of any new sources of liquidity
over historical levels. Due to current market conditions, the cash flow to us from a number of the securitizations we sponsored has been reduced or eliminated and we do not expect to sponsor new securitizations to provide us with long-term financing
for the foreseeable future. We are seeking to expand our use of secured lines of credit while developing other financing resources that will permit us to originate or acquire new investments generating attractive returns while preserving our
capital, such as loan participations and joint venture financing arrangements.

We expect to continue to receive substantial
cash flow from our investment portfolio. Our consolidated securitizations collateralized by U.S. commercial real estate loans, RAIT I and RAIT II, continue to perform and make distributions on our retained interests and pay us management fees. RAIT
I and RAIT II are our primary source of cash from our operations. While our consolidated securitizations collateralized by trust preferred securities, or TruPS, Taberna VIII and Taberna IX, are currently failing several of their respective
over-collateralization tests, we continue to receive our senior management fees from these securitizations. We continue to explore strategies to generate liquidity from our investments in real estate and our investments in debt securities as we
seek to focus on our commercial real estate lending platform.

We believe our available cash and restricted cash balances,
other financing arrangements, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months. Should our liquidity needs exceed our available sources of liquidity, we believe that our assets could be sold
directly to raise additional cash. We may not be able to obtain additional financing when we desire to do so, or may not be able to obtain desired financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us. If we fail to obtain additional financing, our
ability to maintain or grow our business will be constrained.

Our primary cash requirements are as follows:



| |  |  | to make investments and fund the associated costs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to repay our indebtedness, including repurchasing or retiring our debt before it becomes due;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to pay our expenses, including compensation to our employees;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to pay U.S. federal, state, and local taxes of our TRSs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to repurchase our common shares; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | to distribute a minimum of 90% of our REIT taxable income and to make investments in a manner that enables us to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We intend to meet these liquidity requirements primarily through the following:



| |  |  | the use of our cash and cash equivalent balances of $18.5 million as of March 31, 2010;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Flows

As of
March 31, 2010 and 2009, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18.5 million and $41.0 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents were generated from the following activities (dollars in thousands):

Our principal source of cash flow is historically from our investing activities. The reduction in cash
inflow from our investing activities primarily resulted from $18.1 million in principal repayments on loans and investments during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $120.0 million during the three-month period ended
March 31, 2009.

Our decreased cash inflow from operating activities is primarily due to the disposition of the Taberna
III, Taberna IV, Taberna VI, and Taberna VII securitizations in June 2009 and from the disposition of the residential mortgage portfolio in July 2009.

The cash outflow from our financing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three-month
period ended March 31, 2009 is primarily due to a reduction in the repayments on residential mortgage-backed securities of $0 and $96.6 million as we sold this portfolio in July 2009.

Our assets under management have historically been financed on a long-term basis through securitizations and our rights to cash flow from
these portfolios depend on the terms of the debt and equity securities we hold in these securitizations. Several of our securitizations are currently failing several of their respective over-collateralization tests due to collateral defaults and are
re-directing cash flow associated with our retained interests to repay principal on senior debt. See Securitization Summary above.

Our two commercial real estate securitized financing arrangements, RAIT I and RAIT II, include a revolving credit option that allows us
to repay the AAA rated debt tranches totaling $475.0 million as loan repayments occur, and then draw up to the available committed amounts during the first five years of each facility. At March 31, 2010, these revolvers are fully utilized and
have no additional capacity. We have $73.4 million of restricted cash in our two CRE securitizations to invest in commercial loans as of March 31, 2010, subject to $33.9 million of future funding commitments and borrowing requirements.

Capitalization

We maintain various forms of short-term and long-term financing arrangements. Generally, these financing agreements are collateralized by
assets within CDOs or mortgage securitizations. The following table summarizes our total recourse and non-recourse indebtedness as of March 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Recourse indebtedness refers to indebtedness that is recourse to our general assets, including the
loans payable on real estate that are guaranteed by RAIT or RAIT Partnership. As indicated in the table above, our consolidated financial statements include recourse indebtedness of $372.0 million as of March 31, 2010. Non-recourse indebtedness
consists of indebtedness of consolidated VIEs (i.e. CDOs and other securitization vehicles) and loans payable on real estate which is recourse only to specific assets pledged as collateral to the lenders. The creditors of each consolidated VIE have
no recourse to our general credit.

The current status or activity in our financing arrangements occurring as of or during the
three-month period ended March 31, 2010 is as follows:

Recourse Indebtedness

Convertible senior notes. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we repurchased $54.5 million in aggregate
principal amount of our 6.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, or the convertible senior notes, for a total consideration of $35.7 million. The purchase price consisted of $6.9 million in cash, the issuance of 3.2 million common shares, and the
issuance of a $22.0 million 10.0% Senior Secured Convertible Note due April 2014, or the senior secured convertible note. See Senior Secured Convertible Note below. As a result of these transactions, we recorded gains on extinguishment
of debt of $17.1 million, net of deferred financing costs and unamortized discounts that were written off.

Secured
credit facilities.As of March 31, 2010, we have borrowed an aggregate amount of $48.2 million under three secured credit facilities, each with a different bank. All of our secured credit facilities are secured by designated
commercial mortgages and mezzanine loans. As of March 31, 2010, the first secured credit facility had an unpaid principal balance of $21.0 million which is payable in December 2011 under the current terms of this facility. As of March 31,
2010, the second secured credit facility had an unpaid principal balance of $22.2 million. This facility terminated in April 2010 and the unpaid principal balance is payable in April 2011. As of March 31, 2010, the third secured
credit facility had an unpaid principal balance of $5.0 million. We are amortizing this balance with monthly principal repayments of $0.5 million which will result in the full repayment of this credit facility by February 2011.

##### Table of Contents

Senior secured convertible note.On March 25, 2010, pursuant to a securities
exchange agreement, we acquired from a noteholder $47.0 million aggregate principal amount of our convertible senior notes for a total consideration of $31.2 million. The purchase price consisted of (a) our issuance of the $22.0 million senior
secured convertible note, (b) 1.5 million common shares issued, and (c) $6.0 million in cash. The senior secured convertible note is convertible into our common shares at the option of the holder. The conversion price is $3.50 per common share
and the senior secured convertible note may be converted at any time during its term. We also paid $1.4 million of accrued and unpaid interest on the convertible notes through March 25, 2010. The holder of the senior secured convertible note
converted $1.1 million principal amount of the senior secured convertible note into 300,000 common shares effective May 5, 2010.

The senior secured convertible note bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per year. Interest accrues from March 25, 2010 and will be
payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning July 15, 2010. The senior secured convertible note matures on April 20, 2014 unless previously prepaid in
accordance with its terms prior to such date. The senior secured convertible note is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by two wholly owned subsidiaries of RAIT, or the guarantors: RAIT Asset Holdings III Member, LLC, or RAHM3, and RAIT Asset
Holdings III, LLC, or RAH3. RAHM3 is the sole member of RAH3 and has pledged the equity of RAH3 to secure its guarantee. RAH3s assets consist of certain CDO notes payable issued by RAITs consolidated securitization, RAIT Preferred
Funding II, LTD.

The maturity date of the senior secured convertible note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of specified
customary events of default, the satisfaction of any related notice provisions and the failure to remedy such event of default, where applicable. These events of default include: RAITs failure to pay any amount of principal or interest on the
senior secured convertible note when due; the failure of RAIT or any guarantor to perform any obligation on its or their part in any transaction document; and events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting RAIT or any guarantor.

Non-Recourse Indebtedness

CDO notes payable, at amortized cost.CDO notes payable at amortized cost represent notes issued by consolidated CDO
entities which are used to finance the acquisition of unsecured REIT notes, CMBS securities, commercial mortgages, mezzanine loans, and other loans in our commercial real estate portfolio. Generally, CDO notes payable are comprised of various
classes of notes payable, with each class bearing interest at variable or fixed rates. Both of our CRE CDOs are meeting all of their OC and IC trigger tests as of March 31, 2010.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we repurchased, from the market, a total of $3.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of CDO notes payable issued by RAIT II. The aggregate purchase price was $0.3 million and we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million.

CDO notes payable, at fair value.Both of our Taberna consolidated CDOs are failing overcollateralization, or OC, trigger
tests which cause a change to the priority of payments to the debt and equity holders of the respective securitizations. Upon the failure of an OC test, the indenture of each CDO requires cash flows that would otherwise have been distributed to us
as equity distributions, or in some cases interest payments on our retained CDO notes payable, to be used to pay down sequentially the outstanding principal balance of the most senior note holders. The OC tests failures are due to defaulted
collateral assets and credit risk securities. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, $2.7 million of cash flows were re-directed from our retained interests in these CDOs and were used to repay the most senior holders of our CDO
notes payable.

to terms and conditions set forth in a letter agreement, or the letter agreement, between each of the non-management trustees and RAIT. The terms and conditions included a requirement that each
trustee use a portion of the cash payment to purchase RAITs common shares in purchases that, individually and in the aggregate with all purchases made by all the other non-management trustees pursuant to their respective letter agreements,
complied with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The aggregate amount required to be used by all of the non-management trustees to purchase common shares is $0.2 million.

-Equity Compensation

On January 26, 2010, the compensation committee awarded 1.5 million phantom units, valued at $1.9 million using our closing
stock price of $1.27, to our executive officers. Half of these awards vested immediately and the remainder vests in one year. On January 26, 2010, the compensation committee awarded 0.5 million phantom units, valued at $0.6 million using
our closing stock price of $1.27, to our non-executive officer employees. These awards generally vest over three-year periods.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2010, 70,392 phantom unit awards were redeemed for common shares. These phantom units were
fully vested at the time of redemption.

-Share Issuances

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we issued 3.2 million common shares, along with cash and the issuance of a
senior secured convertible note, to repurchase $54.5 million of our convertible notes. See Capitalization above.

-DRSPP

We implemented an amended and restated dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan, or DRSPP, effective as of March 13, 2008,
pursuant to which we registered and reserved for issuance 10.0 million common shares. During the three-months ended March 31, 2010, we issued a total of 0.5 million common shares pursuant to the DRSPP at a weighted-average price of
$2.11 per share and received $1.0 million of net proceeds. Effective May 7, 2010 we registered an additional 8,787,635 common shares so that, together with previously registered common shares available for issuance under the DRSPP, 12,000,000
common shares, in the aggregate, are available for issuance under the DRSPP.

-SEDA

On January 13, 2010, we entered into a standby equity distribution agreement, or the SEDA, with YA Global Master SPV Ltd., or YA
Global, which is managed by Yorkville Advisors, LLC, whereby YA Global agreed to purchase up to $50.0 million, or the commitment amount, worth of newly issued RAIT common shares upon notices given by us, subject to the terms and conditions of the
SEDA. The SEDA terminates automatically on the earlier of January 13, 2012 or the date YA Global has purchased $50.0 million worth of common shares under the SEDA. The number of common shares issued or issuable pursuant to the SEDA, in the
aggregate, cannot exceed 12.5 million common shares. As of March 31, 2010, no shares have been issued pursuant to this arrangement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Commitments

Critical
Accounting Estimates and Policies

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 contains a
discussion of our critical accounting policies. On January 1, 2010 we adopted several new accounting pronouncements and revised our accounting policies as described below. See Note 2 in our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of
March 31, 2010, as set forth herein. Management discusses our critical accounting policies and managements judgments and estimates with our Audit Committee.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2010, we adopted accounting standards classified under FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, and
accounting standards classified under FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The accounting standard classified under FASB Topic 860 eliminates the concept of a QSPE, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires
additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions and continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. The accounting standard classified under FASB Topic 810 changes the determination of when
a VIE should be consolidated. Under this standard, the determination of whether to consolidate a VIE is based on the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance together with either
the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE, as well as the VIEs purpose and design. The adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.

##### Table of Contents

On January 1, 2010, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This accounting standard requires new disclosures for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and describes
the reasons for the transfer. This accounting standard also updates existing disclosures by providing fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and provides disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used
to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. For Level 3 fair value measurements new disclosures will require entities to present information separately for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements; however,
these disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and
management is currently evaluating the impact the new Level 3 fair value measurement disclosures may have on our consolidated financial statements.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing our business
plan, the primary market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and credit risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between our yield on invested assets and cost of
funds and, in turn, our ability to make distributions or payments to our shareholders. In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment, defaults could increase and result in losses to us which adversely affect our operating results
and liquidity. In the current global recession, defaults have increased and resulted in losses to us which have adversely affected, and we expect will continue to adversely affect, our operating results and liquidity.

There have been no material changes in Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures during the three-months ended March 31, 2010 from
the disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Reference is made to Item 7A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.



|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 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 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 and with the participation of our disclosure committee, 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 are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended March 31,
2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

Riverside
National Bank of Florida Litigation

RAIT subsidiary Taberna Capital Management, LLC is named as one of fifteen defendants
in a lawsuit filed by Riverside National Bank of Florida, or Riverside, on November 13, 2009 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. (A substantially similar action was filed by Riverside on August 6, 2009 in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings, and subsequently discontinued without prejudice and refiled in New York County.) The action, titled Riverside National Bank of Florida v. The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Moodys
Investors Service, Inc., Fitch, Inc., Taberna Capital Management, LLC, Cohen & Company Financial Management, LLC f/k/a Cohen Bros. Financial Management LLC, FTN Financial Capital Markets, Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets, Credits Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, ABN Amro, Inc., Cohen & Company, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.,
asserts claims in connection with Riversides purchase of certain CDO securities, including securities from the



41

##### Table of Contents

Taberna Preferred Funding II, IV, and V CDOs. Riverside alleges that offering materials issued in connection with the CDOs it purchased did not adequately disclose the process by which the rating
agencies rated each of the securities. Riverside also alleges, among other things, that the offering materials should have disclosed an alleged conflict of interest of the rating agencies as well as the role that the rating agencies played in
structuring each CDO. Riverside seeks damages in excess of $132 million, rescission of its purchases of the securities at issue, an accounting of certain amounts received by the defendants together with the imposition of a constructive trust, and
punitive damages of an unspecified amount. On December 11, 2009, the defendants moved to dismiss all of Riversides claims. Riverside filed oppositions to the defendants motions on February 19, 2010, voluntarily dismissing its
contract causes of action and opposing the remainder of defendants motions to dismiss. No date for oral argument of the motions has been set. On April 16, 2010, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency closed Riverside and named the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver and thus as successor-in-interest to Riverside as plaintiff in this action. In a Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated April 16, 2010, TD Bank, National Association, acquired the banking
operations of Riverside from the FDIC, but appears not to have acquired Riversides litigation claims. On May 4, 2010, Riverside moved to substitute the FDIC as plaintiff and to stay this action for 90 days. An adverse resolution of the
litigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Routine Litigation

We are involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants of owned properties, disputes arising
out of agreements to purchase or sell properties and disputes arising out of our loan portfolio. Given the nature of our business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of our business. The result of any particular lawsuit
cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. We do not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such routine legal actions will
have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

There have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1ARisk Factors in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

|(1) | On January 26, 2010, the compensation committee of the board of trustees of RAIT approved a cash payment to its eight non-management trustees intended to
constitute a portion of their respective 2010 annual non-management trustee compensation. RAITs non-management trustees were Edward S. Brown, Daniel G. Cohen, Frank A. Farnesi, S. Kristin Kim, Arthur Makadon, Daniel Promislo, John F. Quigley
III and Murray Stempel, III. The cash payment was subject to terms and conditions set forth in a letter agreement between each of the non-management trustees and RAIT. The terms and conditions included a requirement that each trustee use a portion
of the cash payment to purchase RAITs common shares of beneficial interest, or common shares, in purchases that, individually and in the aggregate with all purchases made by all the other non-management trustees pursuant to their respective
letter agreements, complied with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The aggregate amount required to be used by all of the non-management trustees to purchase common shares was $240,000. RAIT filed a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC
disclosing these letter agreements on January 29, 2010. This entire amount was used by the trustees to make purchases in open-market transactions of common shares on March 3, 2010, which we refer to as the trustee purchases, and no further
purchases are required. With respect to these purchases, the trustees may be deemed to be affiliated purchasers and so the trustee purchases are reported in this table. While the compensation committee reserves the right to require purchases of
RAITs equity securities as a condition of receiving cash payments as compensation in the future, no such payments are currently outstanding.

|(2) | The price reported is the weighted average price of the trustee purchases. These shares were purchased in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $1.50 to $1.60,
inclusive.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | On July 24, 2007, our board of trustees adopted a share repurchase plan that authorizes us to purchase up to $75.0 million of RAIT common shares. Under the plan,
we may make purchases, from time to time, through open market or privately negotiated transactions. We have not repurchased any common shares under this plan as of March 31, 2010. This share purchase plan was first disclosed in our quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007 filed with the SEC on August 8, 2007 and does not have an expiration date.
