SCHEDULE I

RESOURCE CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET INCOME TO FFO and AFFO (in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited)

Funds from Operations

The Company evaluates its performance based on several performance measures, including funds from operations, or FFO, and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") in addition to net income. The Company computes FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated/uncombined partnerships and joint ventures.

AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company's operating performance. We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO the impact of non-cash accounting items as well as the effects of items that we deem to be non-recurring in nature. We deem transactions to be non-recurring if a similar transaction has not occurred in the past two years, and if we do not expect a similar transaction to occur in the next two years. We adjust for these non-cash and non-recurring items to analyze our ability to produce cash flow from on-going operations, which we use to pay dividends to our shareholders. Non-cash adjustments to FFO include the following: impairment losses resulting from fair value adjustments on financial instruments; provisions for loan losses; equity investment gains and losses; straight-line rental effects; share based compensation expense; amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets; gains on sales of property that are wholly owned or owned through a joint venture; the cash impact of capital expenditures that are related to our real estate owned; and REIT tax planning adjustments, which primarily relate to accruals for owned properties for which we made a foreclosure election and adjustments to tax estimates with respect to the final resolution of foreclosed property when it is listed for sale. In addition, we calculate AFFO by adding and subtracting from FFO the realized cash impacts of the following: extinguishment of debt, reissuances of debt, sales of property and capital expenditures.

Management believes that FFO and AFFO are appropriate measures of the Company's operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs. Management uses FFO and AFFO as measures of its operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of the Company's operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation, share-based compensation and various other items required by GAAP, and capital expenditures, that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare the Company's operating performance between periods.

While the Company's calculations of AFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by other REITs and its AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs, the Company also believes that FFO and AFFO may provide the Company and its investors with an additional useful measure to compare its performance with some other REITs. Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity.

Adjusted net income and normalized AFFO reflect what management believes is a transparent look into what the quarter's net income and AFFO would have been if not for certain items, including many non-recurring items, that do not represent the Company's expected ongoing operations.

The following table reconciles GAAP net income (loss) to FFO and AFFO for the periods presented (unaudited) (in thousands, except per share data):

We have five reportable operating segments: Commercial Real Estate Lending, Commercial Finance, Middle Market Lending, Residential Mortgage Lending, and Corporate & Other. The reportable operating segments are business units that offer different products and services. The Commercial Real Estate Lending operating segment includes our activities and operations related to commercial real estate loans, commercial real estate-related securities, and investments in real estate. The Commercial Finance operating segment includes our activities and operations related to bank loans, bank loan-related securities, and direct financing leases. The Middle Market Lending operating segment includes our activities and operations related to the origination and purchase of middle market loans. The Residential Mortgage Lending operating segment includes our activities and operations related to the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans and the investment in residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"). The Corporate & Other segment includes corporate level interest income, interest expense, inter-segment eliminations not allocable to any particular operating segment, and general and administrative expense. In an effort to normalize net income (loss) and AFFO, for the three months ended, the following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) and normalized AFFO for the three months ended December 31, 2015 presented by operating segment (in thousands, except per share data):
