ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         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 the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1999, 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. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update
these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise
after the date of this report.

Overview

         The Company commenced investment operations in January 1998. Its
principal business objective is to generate income for distribution to its
shareholders from a combination of interest, rents and distributions from loans
that the Company originates and funds, loans or property interests acquired and
other investments. The Company completed two public offerings of its common
shares during 1998 and utilized these proceeds, combined with repayment and
refinancing of its loans and property interests and its line of credit, to build
its investment portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Since commencement of investment operations in January 1998, the
principal source of the Company's capital resources has been the two offerings
of its common shares, which, after offering costs and underwriting discounts and
commissions, resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $86.0 million.
Secondarily, the Company has obtained capital resources from the repayment,
refinancing, and sale of loans in its portfolio (or principal payments on those
loans), aggregating $13.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
($26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000). The principal use
of these funds has been the origination, acquisition and purchase of loans in
the amount of $20.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 ($27.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000), the purchase of real
estate and improvements in the amount of $0 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 ($6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000), and the
acquisition, in August 2000, of RAIT Capital Corp., a real estate financing
company that specializes in first mortgages, in the amount of $859,000.

         The Company also receives funds from interest payments on its loans and
operating income from its property interests. As required by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, the Company utilizes these funds (to the extent of not
less than 95% of its taxable income) to pay dividends to its shareholders. For
the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company declared dividends of $3.2
million, which were paid on October 12, 2000.

         In order to maintain liquidity, the Company continues to pursue a
strategy of providing shorter-term financing to its borrowers (generally in the
form of bridge financing) to increase the turnover of its investments, and
pursuing borrower refinancing of the Company's loans through senior lenders,
with the Company retaining junior interests. The Company is not currently
experiencing material difficulties in originating shorter-term financings or
obtaining senior lien refinancings on acceptable terms. However, there can be no
assurance that difficulties will not be encountered in the future, depending
upon the development of conditions in the credit markets.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

         At September 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $11.2 million in
funds available for investment ($3.2 million of cash held at September 30, 2000
was reserved to pay a cash dividend on October 12, 2000). All cash was
temporarily invested in a money-market account that the Company believes has a
high degree of liquidity and safety.

         Results of Operations

         The Company had average earning assets for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000 of $106.7 million and $105.0 million, respectively
($98.6 million and $93.3 million for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1999), including $8.6 million and $12.9 million of average earning assets
invested in a money-market account for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000, respectively ($7.4 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999.) The increases in total average earning assets
and average earning assets invested in a money-market account from the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the corresponding periods in 2000 were
due the utilization of the Company's credit line ($20.0 million and $14.0
million outstanding at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively) in
anticipation of approximately $12.0 million of loans to be originated in the
fourth quarter 2000.

         Interest income derived from financings was $4.9 million and $13.6
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to
$5.3 million and $15.1 million for the corresponding periods in 1999. Interest
income from the money market account was $75,000 and $418,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $78,000 and $183,000 for the
corresponding periods in 1999. The decrease in interest income from both the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the corresponding periods in
2000 was due to a decrease in the Company's net investments in real estate loans
($83.7 million at September 30, 2000 versus $91.5 million at September 30, 1999)
and an increase in the Company's net investment in real estate ($107.9 million
at September 30, 2000 versus $72.4 million at September 30, 1999). The increase
in interest income from the money market account from the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 to the corresponding period in 2000 was due to a higher
balance of assets invested in the money-market account due to a loan repayment
in the first quarter of 2000, and a draw on the secured line of credit in the
amount of $6.0 million in anticipation of several loan closings. The yield on
average earning non-money market assets was 17.7% and 17.2% for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and was 18.6% and 18.4% for the
corresponding periods in 1999. The decreases in yield are due to an increase in
the Company's cost of funds due to an increase in interest charged on the
secured line of credit (based on the Prime rate of interest), partially offset
by the Company's ability to increase the pricing of its loans in response to
market conditions. The yield on average earning money market account assets was
4.8% and 4.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared
to 4.8% and 4.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
Company derived $4.7 million from rents from its property interests for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000 ($13.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000) compared to $3.2 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 ($8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999). The increase
in rents from the Company's property interests from the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 to the same periods in 2000 was due to an increase in
the Company's investment in real estate and a decrease in the Company's
investment in real estate loans as discussed above. The Company recognized fee
and other income in the amount of $222,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 ($921,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000) as compared to
$23,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 ($318,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999). The increases in fee and other income from the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the same periods in 2000 are
due to income from the Company's new real estate finance subsidiary, RAIT
Capital Corp., which was acquired in August 2000 ($163,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000), and a $500,000 subordination fee earned
in the second quarter of 2000.

         Twelve of the Company's purchased loans remained subject to forbearance
agreements or other contractual restructurings that existed at the time the
Company acquired the loans. During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, all
payments under the agreements were timely made and all borrowers were otherwise
in full compliance with the terms of the agreements. The remaining thirteen
loans in the Company's portfolio are performing in accordance with their terms
as originally underwritten by the Company and were current as to payments as of
September 30, 2000.

         During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company incurred
expenses of $6.9 million ($19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2000) compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999
($15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999). The expenses
consist of interest expense, operating expenses relating to the Company's
property interests, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and
amortization. Interest expense was $3.5 million and $9.5 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $2.8 million and $8.3
million for the corresponding periods in 1999. Interest expense relates to
interest payments made on senior indebtedness encumbering properties underlying
the Company's investments in wraparound loans and properties owned by the
Company and interest payments made on the Company's secured line of credit, all
of which increased as a result of the increase in the Company's loan portfolio.
Property operating expenses were $2.2 million and $6.5 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1.7 million and $4.5 million
for the corresponding periods in 1999. Depreciation and amortization was
$754,000 and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000
as compared to $387,000 and $1.4 million for the corresponding periods in 1999.
The increases in property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization from
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the corresponding periods
in 2000, were due to an increase in the Company's investment in real estate and
a decrease in the Company's investment in real estate loans as discussed above.
General and administrative expenses were $437,000 and $1.2 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $387,000 and $1.2
million for the corresponding periods in 1999. The increase in general and
administrative expenses from the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999
to the same period in 2000 was due to the acquisition of the Company's real
estate finance subsidiary, RAIT Capital Corp., in August, 2000 and the general
and administrative expense incurred by that subsidiary which approximated
$158,000 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.
