COMBINATION PROPOSED&nbsp;&#151; YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Dear AFN Stockholders and Cohen Members: </FONT></P>  <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As previously announced, Alesco Financial Inc., or AFN, and Cohen Brothers, LLC (d/b/a Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company), or Cohen, have signed a merger agreement
which provides for the merger of a subsidiary of AFN with and into Cohen, with Cohen surviving as a majority owned subsidiary of AFN, thereby combining the two businesses. We believe this business combination is in the best interests of the
stockholders of AFN and the members of Cohen because we believe that the combination of AFN&#146;s existing capital and its public listing with Cohen&#146;s diverse revenue sources and comprehensive operating platform will create a well-capitalized
company with opportunities for profitable growth in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pursuant to the merger agreement, each Cohen Class&nbsp;A membership unit,
together with one Cohen Class B membership unit, will entitle the holder of such units to either (1)&nbsp;receive 0.57372 shares of AFN common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or (2)&nbsp;retain 0.57372 recapitalized membership units in Cohen. As
a result of this transaction, AFN could issue as many as 4,628,151 shares of AFN common stock. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, it is currently expected that existing AFN stockholders will own 56.5% of
the shares of AFN&#146;s common stock immediately after the business combination and existing Cohen members will hold the remaining balance of 43.5%; however, the actual percentages will not be known until members of Cohen have made their elections
either to receive AFN common stock or retain recapitalized Cohen membership units. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The completion of the business combination requires
that AFN issue Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series A preferred stock to Daniel G. Cohen in the business combination in exchange for his Class C membership units in Cohen and will entitle Mr.&nbsp;Cohen to elect a number equal to
at least one-third (but less than a majority) of the total number of directors on AFN&#146;s board of directors but will carry no economic rights. Beginning in July 2010, Mr.&nbsp;Cohen may convert his Series A preferred stock into 4,983,557 shares
of Series B Voting Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series B preferred stock. The Series B preferred stock carries no economic rights, but will entitle Mr.&nbsp;Cohen to vote with holders of AFN common stock on all matters presented to them, on
the basis of one vote per share, which is expected to represent 31.9% of the voting power of the AFN common stock and be equivalent to the percentage of voting power Mr.&nbsp;Cohen would have had in AFN if he exchanged his Class A and Class B Cohen
membership units for AFN common stock upon the completion of the business combination. Daniel G. Cohen and certain other officers of Cohen have agreed to vote the Cohen membership units over which they have voting control in favor of the merger
agreement, assuring approval by Cohen. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This proxy statement/prospectus describes the meetings, the proposals to be considered and voted
upon at the meetings and related matters. We encourage you to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the risk factors, as well as the annexes. Every vote is important. The proposed business combination cannot be completed
unless the issuance of shares of AFN common stock and Series A preferred stock in the business combination is approved by a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the annual meeting of its stockholders, provided that the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of AFN common stock vote on the proposal. Whether or not you plan to attend your company&#146;s meeting, please take the time to authorize a proxy to vote on your behalf by following the instructions on your proxy card.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We enthusiastically support this combination of our companies and join with our boards in recommending that the stockholders of AFN vote
FOR the issuance of shares of AFN common stock and Series A preferred stock in the business combination and that the members of Cohen vote FOR the approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Thank you for your
continued interest in and support of our companies. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:54%; text-indent:-2%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Sincerely, </FONT></P> <P

AFN&#146;s business model will shift from a capital investment company to a comprehensive operating company that is expected to be less capital intensive. AFN and Cohen believe the business combination will provide enhanced financial resilience,
synergies and economies of scale and will allow the combined company greater flexibility in withstanding the current volatile market conditions than on a stand-alone basis. The combined company is expected to generate positive cash flow through a
recurring revenue stream from asset management contracts and a growing capital markets business. In addition, the combined company is expected to pursue growth opportunities, including (1)&nbsp;expanding Cohen&#146;s capital markets operations to
other credit-related fixed income areas to deepen the combined company&#146;s product capabilities; (2)&nbsp;acquiring other in-place asset management contracts and asset management and investment firms; and (3)&nbsp;growing Cohen&#146;s existing

apply the fair value option for its investments in TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables, MBS, TruPS CDO notes payable, MBS CDO notes payable, and TruPS obligations. AFN elected the fair value option for these instruments to enhance the
transparency of its financial condition. The transition adjustment that was recorded as of January&nbsp;1, 2008 due to the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;159 was an increase to parent stockholders&#146; equity of $2.6 billion. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

No.&nbsp;51</I>, or SFAS No.&nbsp;160. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions
between an entity and noncontrolling interests. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 applies prospectively as of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be
applied retrospectively for all periods presented. As of January&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;160 and the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160 resulted in the following changes to the presentation of the Company&#146;s prior period
consolidated financial statements: (1)&nbsp;reclassified all amounts previously included within the &#147;Minority interests&#148; financial statement caption to the &#147;Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries&#148; financial statement caption,
which is included within the equity section of the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements; (2)&nbsp;consolidated net income (loss) was adjusted to include net income (loss) attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interests;
and (3)&nbsp;consolidated comprehensive income (loss) was adjusted to include comprehensive income (loss) attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interests. The adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160 did not have an impact on net income
(loss) for any prior periods. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, No. Accounting Principles Board 14-1, <I>Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)</I>, or FSP APB 14-1, which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial
cash settlement) upon conversion. FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer&#146;s nonconvertible, unsecured debt
borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. The equity component is presented in parent stockholders&#146; equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt is recognized as part of interest expense in the consolidated statement of
operations. FSP APB 14-1 requires companies to retroactively apply the requirements of the pronouncement to all periods presented. As of January&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP APB 14-1 and the consolidated financial statements as of and for
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 have been retroactively restated for the adoption, which resulted in an increase to the Company&#146;s net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, and a $2.2 million increase to parent
stockholders&#146; equity at January&nbsp;1, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:4px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

a calculation which is based upon the present value of certain of our collateralized debt obligation management fees plus a percentage of the estimated value of certain other investments we have pledged as collateral. The 2009 Credit Facility
matures on May 31, 2011. The maximum revolving credit amount under the 2009 Credit Facility is reduced by $1 million per month beginning on November 15, 2009 and by the amount of proceeds received as a result of asset sales involving collateral,
sales of capital stock, or amounts received on account of the issuance of equity interests of Cohen or CFG. The 2009 Credit Facility bears interest, at Cohen&#146;s option, at either: (a) one, two or three month LIBOR plus 6.5% or (b) a base rate
(as defined in the loan agreement) plus 3.75%, both subject to an absolute minimum interest rate of 8.5%. The 2009 Credit Facility charges an unused fee of 0.50% per annum payable quarterly based on the unused available funds under the facility. In
addition, TD Bank charged an upfront fee of 3.00% and an exit fee of 1.5% of the initial maximum revolving credit amount at the first to occur of maturity, payment in full, or acceleration of the facility. As of June 30, 2009, $29,950 was drawn, $50
was committed for a letter of credit and there was no availability to borrow under the 2009 Credit Facility. See &#147;Information Regarding Cohen Brothers, LLC &#151; Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

</I></B></FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the business combination, Cohen members may elect to receive 0.57372 shares of AFN common stock or retain 0.57372
recapitalized Cohen membership units for each Cohen Class&nbsp;A membership unit together with one Cohen Class B membership unit. Because the number of shares of AFN common stock or recapitalized Cohen membership units that will be issued in the
business combination to such holders of Cohen membership units is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of AFN common stock or value of Cohen membership units, any change in the price of AFN common stock or value of Cohen
membership units will affect the value of the consideration that Cohen members will receive. Neither AFN nor Cohen is permitted to terminate the merger agreement or resolicit the vote of its stockholders or members, as the case may be, solely
because of changes in the market price of AFN common stock or value of Cohen membership units. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Changes in stock price or membership unit
value may result from a variety of factors, including changes in the business, operations, results or prospects of AFN or Cohen, market expectations of the likelihood that the business combination will be completed, the timing of completion of the
business combination, the prospects of post-business combination operations, general market and economic conditions and other considerations. Many of these factors are beyond AFN&#146;s or Cohen&#146;s control. The market price of AFN common stock
and the value of Cohen membership units at the completion of the business combination may vary from its price or value, as the case may be, on the date the merger agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and the dates of
the meetings of the AFN stockholders and Cohen members. As a result, the value represented by the merger consideration also will vary. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Because Cohen&#146;s membership units are not traded on a public exchange, there is no market price for the Cohen membership units. However, based on the established exchange ratio of 0.57372 as well as the anticipated 1-for-10 reverse
stock split of AFN&#146;s shares of common stock, the implied value of each Cohen Class&nbsp;A membership unit together with one Cohen Class B membership unit is equal to 5.7372 times the trading price of a pre-reverse split AFN share. So, based on
a trading range of $0.33 to $0.91 for the AFN shares, the implied value of each Cohen Class&nbsp;A membership unit together with one Cohen Class B membership unit varies from a low of $1.89 to a high of $5.22. Because the date the business
combination is completed could be later than the dates of the meetings, at the time of your stockholders&#146; or members&#146; meeting, you may not necessarily know the value of AFN common stock or recapitalized Cohen membership units that Cohen
members will receive upon completion of the business combination. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Because of the lack of a public market for Cohen membership

to obtain, and did not seek, a fairness opinion of an independent investment banking firm or other third-party expert with respect to the recapitalized Cohen membership units or AFN common stock to be issued to Cohen members in the business
combination. In analyzing the business combination with AFN, the Cohen board of managers relied on its knowledge and experience in managing AFN in determining whether or not to proceed with the business combination. It is possible that the value of
the AFN common stock to be issued to Cohen members in exchange for their recapitalized Cohen membership units received by Cohen members will be less than, or more than, the fair market value of those Cohen membership units. </FONT></P>  <P

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because of the limited number of potential holders of the recapitalized Cohen membership units and restrictions applicable to transfers of the units, we
do not expect that a public trading market will develop for the recapitalized Cohen membership units. In addition, the New Cohen LLC Agreement imposes significant contractual restrictions on the transfer of recapitalized Cohen membership units. The
issuance of recapitalized Cohen membership units will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws and, accordingly, any resale of the recapitalized Cohen membership units must be registered under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws unless exemptions are available for those transactions. We will not have any legal obligation to register any of the recapitalized Cohen membership units for resale, nor do we have any intention of doing so.
Consequently, holders of recapitalized Cohen membership units may not be able to sell those units in a timely manner, or at all, other than by exercising their right to have their recapitalized Cohen membership units redeemed for cash or, at the
election of AFN, shares of AFN common stock, which right is subject to certain restrictions discussed below. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Cohen members that

membership units in the business combination will be subject to a lock-up that prohibits Cohen members from exercising their right to require Cohen to redeem their recapitalized Cohen membership units for cash or, at the election of AFN, shares of
AFN common stock for a period of time. Other than Daniel G. Cohen, who will be subject to a three year lock-up period, Cohen members will be subject to this lock-up for six months from the completion of the business combination for all of the
recapitalized Cohen membership units issued to such members in connection with the business combination. Consequently, the Cohen members that retain recapitalized Cohen membership units will have to bear the economic risk of holding the shares of
recapitalized Cohen membership units for the period of the lock-up. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, if AFN elects to provide shares of AFN common stock to a
Cohen member that exercises his or her redemption right after the six month lock-up period, such shares of AFN common stock will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws, unless AFN, in its sole discretion, registers such
shares of AFN common stock. If the AFN common stock is unregistered, the AFN common stock may not be resold under federal and applicable state securities laws unless exemptions are available for such resale transactions. We will not have any legal
obligation to register for resale any of the AFN common stock received in connection with a redemption of the recapitalized Cohen membership units. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

terms of the business combination. The merger agreement does not require that the fairness opinion of Stifel Nicolaus be updated as a condition to completion of the business combination, and AFN does not currently intend to request that the opinion
be updated. As such, the fairness opinion does not reflect any changes that may occur or may have occurred after February&nbsp;20, 2009 to the operations and prospects of AFN or Cohen, general market and economic conditions and other factors that
may affect the relative values of AFN and Cohen. As a result, at the completion of the business combination the market price of AFN common stock and the value of Cohen may vary significantly from the market price of AFN common stock and the value of
Cohen membership units as of the date of the fairness opinion of Stifel Nicolaus. Moreover, AFN does not intend to request an updated opinion from Stifel Nicolaus. As a result of the foregoing, AFN stockholders should be aware that the opinion of
Stifel Nicolaus does not address the fairness of the financial terms of the business combination at any time other than as of February&nbsp;20, 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Cohen, who beneficially owns Cohen Class C membership units, will be entitled to receive one share of Series A preferred stock in exchange for his Cohen Class C membership units. The Series A preferred stock will have no economic rights but will
entitle the holder thereof to elect at least one-third (but less than a majority) of AFN&#146;s board of directors. Beginning in July 2010, the holder of the Series A preferred stock may convert the share of Series A preferred stock into 4,983,557
shares of Series B preferred stock, which will have no economic rights but will entitle the holder thereof to vote together with other AFN stockholders on all matters presented to AFN stockholders and to exercise approximately 31.9% of the voting
power of the AFN common stock (assuming all Cohen members except Mr. Cohen elect to receive shares of AFN common stock in the business combination and there is no change in AFN&#146;s capitalization). In the event Cohen members in addition to Mr.
Cohen elect to remain members of Cohen, the voting power of the Series A preferred stock will exceed 31.9%. The Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock may be redeemed at the option of AFN at any time after December&nbsp;31, 2012 for
cash equal to the aggregate par value of the shares. The recapitalized Cohen membership units may be redeemed for cash or an equivalent number of shares of AFN common stock, at AFN&#146;s option, at any time after the six months following the
completion of the business combination, except that Mr.&nbsp;Cohen will not have such right until December&nbsp;31, 2012. Existing AFN stockholders will continue to hold their shares of AFN common stock. It is expected that existing AFN stockholders
will own 56.5% of the outstanding shares of AFN common stock immediately after the completion of the business combination and existing Cohen members will hold the remaining balance of 43.5%; however, the actual percentages will not be known until
members of Cohen have made their elections to either receive AFN common stock or retain recapitalized Cohen membership units. If all Cohen membership units were to be redeemed in the future, if AFN were to elect to issue shares of its common stock
upon such redemptions and if no other changes in the number of AFN&#146;s outstanding shares of common stock were to occur, current AFN stockholders would own 38.5%, and former Cohen members would own 61.5%, of AFN&#146;s common stock. </FONT></P>

effect on AFN and Cohen and, consequently, on the combined company. Although AFN and Cohen intend to take actions to reduce any adverse effects, these uncertainties may impair their ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the
business combination is completed and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause clients, vendors and others that do business with AFN and Cohen to seek to change existing business relationships with either or both companies. In April 2009,
three key portfolio managers left the Brigadier Entities and Daniel G. Cohen was named chief investment officer. As of June 30, 2009, Brigadier&#146;s NAV was $74.9 million and, from June 30, 2009 through August 18, 2009, Brigadier has issued actual
redemptions of $35.0 million and received an additional $19.4&nbsp;million of redemption requests. The base management fee for Brigadier is 2% of NAV. <B></B>It is unknown what, if any, additional consequences there may be as a result of these
departures. Employee retention may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the business combination, as employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company. If, despite Cohen&#146;s retention efforts,
key employees depart because of issues relating to this uncertainty or a desire not to remain with the combined company, the combined company&#146;s business could be seriously harmed. </FONT></P>  <P

the business combination, AFN will be a holding company whose primary asset will be membership units in Cohen. Since Cohen will be a limited liability company taxed as a partnership, AFN, as a member of Cohen, could incur tax obligations as a result
of its allocable share of the income from the operations of Cohen. In addition, AFN will have convertible senior debt and junior subordinated notes outstanding following the business combination. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, AFN had $28.7 million
principal amount of convertible senior debt and $48.1 million principal amount of junior subordinated notes outstanding. Subject to the limitations of the 2009 Credit Facility, Cohen will pay distributions to AFN in amounts necessary to satisfy
AFN&#146;s tax obligations and regularly scheduled payments of interest in connection with AFN&#146;s convertible senior debt and AFN&#146;s junior subordinated notes, and AFN will be dependent on these distributions from Cohen to generate the funds
necessary to meet these obligations and liabilities. Industry conditions and financial, business and other factors, including those identified as risk factors in this proxy statement/prospectus, will affect Cohen&#146;s ability to generate the cash

notes and in amounts necessary to enable AFN to pay its taxes. There may also be circumstances under which Cohen may be restricted from paying dividends to AFN under applicable law or regulation (for example due to Delaware limited liability company
act limitations on Cohen&#146;s ability to make distributions if liabilities of Cohen after the distribution would exceed the value of Cohen&#146;s assets). </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

may take more than a year for AFN to determine whether it has successfully integrated new individuals and capabilities into its operations. During that time, AFN may incur significant expenses and expend significant time and resources toward
training, integration and business development. In addition, AFN&#146;s membership agreement with FINRA limits the number of representatives who have direct contact with AFN&#146;s public customers without FINRA review and approval. The need to
obtain such approval could slow or prevent AFN&#146;s growth. If AFN is unable to hire and retain senior management or other qualified personnel, it will not be able to implement its growth strategy and its financial results may be materially and

business will continue to be materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. The past several quarters have been extremely volatile and have presented many challenges including declines
in the housing and credit markets in the United States and Europe and heightened concerns over the creditworthiness of various financial institutions. Credit markets have continued to experience illiquidity and wider credit spreads. These factors
have resulted in significant declines in the performance of financial assets in general with even more severe pressure on securitized financial assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Upon completion of the business combination, AFN&#146;s asset management revenues and CDO investments will be materially and directly affected by conditions in the global securitization markets. Further, since a
significant portion of AFN&#146;s asset management contracts and CDO investments will relate to entities that are collateralized by securities issued by banks and insurance companies, and real estate-related securities, AFN will be directly and
materially affected by adverse changes in those sectors. During the recent period of unfavorable market and economic conditions, including loss of confidence of ratings agencies, the credit quality of certain assets underlying CDOs have been
adversely affected and investors have been unwilling to invest in CDOs. As a result, Cohen&#146;s and AFN&#146;s profitability have been adversely affected and these same factors may continue to adversely affect the combined company&#146;s business.
The future market and economic climate may further deteriorate due to factors beyond the combined company&#146;s control, including rising interest rates or inflation, increasing unemployment, continued turmoil in the credit markets, terrorism or
political uncertainty. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, historically, the majority of Cohen&#146;s new issue revenues have come from arranging or
participating in new debt offerings securitized by certain assets. As noted above, investments in CDOs, CLOs, and similar structured vehicles have fallen out of favor with investors and Cohen&#146;s ability to generate new issue revenues from the
creation of new securitized financial assets has been adversely affected. If AFN is unable to increase these revenues, or replace them with new or other sources of revenue, its results of operations could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>  <P

of significant legal liabilities under securities or other laws for its employees&#146; material omissions or materially false or misleading statements in connection with securities and other transactions. In addition, AFN&#146;s advisory business
after the business combination will require that AFN deal with confidential matters of great significance to its clients. If AFN&#146;s employees were improperly to use or disclose confidential information provided by its clients, AFN could be
subject to regulatory sanctions and could suffer serious harm to its reputation, financial position, current client relationships and ability to attract future clients. Following the business combination, AFN will also be subject to extensive
regulation under securities laws and other laws in connection with its investment management business. Failure to comply with these legislative and regulatory requirements by any of its employees could adversely affect AFN and its clients. It is not

services in markets for less commoditized financial instruments. As the markets for these instruments become more commoditized, AFN could lose market share to other inter-dealer brokers, exchanges and electronic multi-dealer brokers who specialize
in providing brokerage services in more commoditized markets. If a financial instrument for which AFN will provide brokerage services becomes listed on an exchange or if an exchange introduces a competing product to the products AFN expects to
broker in the OTC market, the need for AFN&#146;s services in relation to that instrument could be significantly reduced. Further, the recent consolidation among exchange firms, and expansion by these firms into derivative and other non-equity

Concerns about the capital adequacy of financial services companies, disruptions in global credit markets, volatility in commodities prices and continued price declines in the United States housing market have led to further disruptions in the
financial markets, adversely affected regional banks and have exacerbated the longevity and severity of the credit crisis. The disruption in these markets will directly impact the business of the combined company because its investment portfolio
will include investments in MBS, residential mortgages, leveraged loans and bank and insurance company debt. The combined company will continue to have exposure to these markets and products, and as market conditions continue to worsen, the fair
value of its investments could further deteriorate. In addition, market volatility, illiquid market conditions and disruptions in the credit markets have made it extremely difficult to value certain of the securities that will be held by the
combined company. Subsequent valuations, in light of factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the values of these securities in future periods. Any of these factors could require AFN to take further writedowns in the fair value
of its investments portfolio, which may have an adverse effect on its results of operations in future periods. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>If AFN fails to

able to provide reliable financial information. Subsequent to the filing of its annual report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, AFN determined that its internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2008
was not effective due to the existence of a material weakness in its processes for determining the fair value of certain investments. Although AFN has implemented additional procedures that AFN believes have improved its processes for estimating the
fair value of its investments, AFN cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that it will maintain adequate controls over its financial reporting process in the future. If AFN discovers additional deficiencies, AFN will make efforts to
remediate these deficiencies; however, there is no assurance that AFN will be successful either in identifying deficiencies or in their remediation. In addition, upon completion of the business combination, AFN will have to evaluate its own and its
consolidated subsidiaries&#146; (including Cohen&#146;s) internal control systems in order to allow its management to report on its internal control over financial reporting on a consolidated basis. The integration of Cohen&#146;s operations into
AFN&#146;s internal control over financial reporting will require additional time and resources from AFN&#146;s management and other personnel and may increase its compliance costs. Any failure to maintain effective controls in the future could
adversely affect its business or cause AFN to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Such non-compliance could also result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of AFN&#146;s
financial statements. In addition, perceptions of AFN&#146;s business among customers, suppliers, rating agencies, lenders, investors, securities analysts and others could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>  <P

other special purpose vehicles may result in the deconsolidation of those entities from AFN&#146;s consolidated financial statements. When AFN consolidates a CDO, it records the underlying assets and liabilities of the CDO at fair value as part of
AFN&#146;s consolidated financial statements, even though the liabilities of the CDO are non-recourse to AFN and AFN has no access to the assets of the CDO to satisfy the recourse liabilities of AFN. Conversely, when AFN holds an unconsolidated
interest in a CDO, it records only the fair value of its interest in the CDO rather than all the underlying assets and liabilities included within the CDO entity. Because the interests AFN holds are deeply subordinated and many are not currently
receiving cash distributions, the fair value of the interests AFN holds may be substantially less than the net carrying amount of the underlying assets and liabilities of the CDO vehicles or other securitization vehicles consolidated in AFN&#146;s
historical financial statements. Whether AFN must consolidate a CDO is determined based upon a complicated analysis under GAAP of whether AFN is the primary beneficiary of the variable interests in the CDO. See &#147;Information Regarding Alesco
Financial Inc. &#151; Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations &#151; Critical Accounting Policies &#151; Principles of Consolidation&#148; for a further discussion of applicable GAAP consolidation
rules. If AFN were to sell some or all of its interests in one or more CDOs, or if current GAAP consolidation rules or interpretations of those rules change, AFN may no longer be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the CDOs and, as a result, the
assets, liabilities and results of the CDOs would no longer be consolidated in AFN&#146;s financial statements. While deconsolidation could have a material impact on AFN&#146;s financial statements, including a change in AFN&#146;s book value, the

Adverse movements in the prices of securities that are the subject of these transactions can increase AFN&#146;s risk. In addition, widespread technological or communication failures, as well as actual or perceived credit difficulties or the

counterparty. Finally, in instances where the unmatched position or failure to deliver is prolonged or widespread due to rapid or widespread declines in liquidity for an instrument, there may also be regulatory capital charges required to be taken
by AFN which, depending on their size and duration, could limit its business flexibility or even force the curtailment of those portions of its business requiring higher levels of capital. For more information regarding regulatory capital

transaction, leaving AFN with either a long or short unmatched position. These unmatched positions are referred to as &#147;out trades,&#148; and they create a potential liability for AFN. If an out trade is promptly discovered and there is a prompt
disposition of the unmatched position, the risk to AFN is usually limited. If the discovery of an out trade is delayed, the risk is heightened by the increased possibility of intervening market movements prior to disposition. Although out trades
usually become known at the time of, or later on the day of, the trade, it is possible that they may not be discovered until later in the settlement process. When out trades are discovered, AFN&#146;s policy will generally be to have the unmatched
position disposed of promptly, whether or not this disposition would result in a loss to AFN. The occurrence of out trades generally rises with increases in the volatility of the market and, depending on their number and amount, such out trades have
the potential to have a material adverse effect on AFN&#146;s financial condition and results of operations. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There has been an
increasing number of defaults in certain mortgage and asset backed markets that have recently forced a growing number of financial institutions to report losses tied to write-downs of mortgage and ABS. As a result, there is an increased risk that
one of AFN&#146;s clients or counterparties may default on their obligations to the combined company arising from either agency or matched principal transactions due to disputes, bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons.
Any losses arising from such defaults could adversely affect AFN&#146;s financial condition or results of operations. In addition, the failure of a significant number of counterparties or a counterparty that holds a significant amount of derivatives
exposure, or which has significant financial exposure to, or reliance on, the mortgage, asset-backed or related markets, could have a material adverse effect on the trading volume and liquidity in a particular market for which AFN expects to provide
brokerage services or on the broader financial markets. It is difficult to predict how long these conditions will continue, whether they will continue to deteriorate and which of AFN&#146;s products and services may be adversely affected. These

significant amount of leverage to achieve their results and, in the past, certain hedge funds have had difficulty managing this leverage, which has resulted in market-wide disruptions. If one or more hedge funds that is a significant participant in
a credit derivatives market experience similar problems in the future, including as a result of the recent volatility in the current market, that credit derivatives market could be adversely affected and, accordingly, AFN&#146;s trading revenues in

instances, AFN&#146;s clients may determine that they do not need or prefer an electronic brokerage system and the period before the system is successfully developed, introduced and adopted may extend over many months or years. The successful

investments for any number of reasons, including liquidity issues for the investor and poor investment performance. Factors which could result in investors leaving the Brigadier hedge fund include changes in interest rates which make other
investments more attractive, changes in investor perception regarding AFN&#146;s focus or alignment of interest, unhappiness with changes in or broadening of the fund&#146;s investment strategy, reputation, and departures or changes in
responsibilities of key investment professionals. In April 2009, three key portfolio managers left the Brigadier Entities and Daniel G. Cohen was named chief investment officer. As of June 30, 2009, Brigadier&#146;s NAV was $74.9 million and, from
June 30, 2009 through August&nbsp;18, 2009, Brigadier has issued actual redemptions of $35.0&nbsp;million and received an additional $19.4&nbsp;million of redemption requests. The base management fee for Brigadier is 2% of NAV. Due to various
factors, including the declining financial market and the departure of certain key personnel, the pace of redemptions and consequent reduction in Brigadier&#146;s assets under management has accelerated and could continue to accelerate. A decrease

lack of liquidity has historically been the cause of substantial losses in the hedge fund industry. The ability of counterparties to force liquidations following losses or a failure to meet a margin call can result in the rapid sale of highly
leveraged positions in declining markets, which would likely subject the existing Brigadier hedge fund, or any future hedge funds, to substantial losses. AFN may fail to adequately predict the liquidity which Brigadier Entities, or any future hedge
funds, require to address redemption requests or counterparty requirements due to falling values of fund investments being financed by such counterparties, which could result not only in losses related to such investments, but in losses related to
the need to liquidate unrelated investments in order to meet the funds&#146; obligations. The Brigadier hedge fund and any future hedge funds of AFN may incur substantial losses in the event significant capital is invested in highly leveraged
investments or investment strategies. Such losses would result in a decline in assets under management, may lead to investor requests to redeem remaining assets under management, and may damage AFN&#146;s reputation, each of which could have a
material adverse effect on its earnings. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>If AFN&#146;s risk management systems for its investment fund business are

risk in its investment funds will be based upon Cohen&#146;s use of historical market behavior statistics. AFN will apply statistical and other tools to these observations to measure and analyze the risks to which its investment funds are exposed.
Any failures in AFN&#146;s risk management techniques and strategies to accurately quantify such risk exposure could limit AFN&#146;s ability to manage risks in the investment funds or to seek adequate risk-adjusted returns. In addition, any risk
management failures could cause investment fund losses to be significantly greater than the historical measures predict. Further, AFN&#146;s mathematical modeling will not take all risks into account. AFN&#146;s more qualitative approach to managing
those risks could prove insufficient, exposing AFN to material unanticipated losses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

the combined company may not have sufficient funds to pay such indebtedness. In such event, the combined company&#146;s lenders under the 2009 Credit Facility would be entitled to proceed against the collateral securing the indebtedness, which will
include a significant portion of the combined company&#146;s assets. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There can be no guarantee that the combined company will be able
to maintain compliance with such covenants. Prior to entering into the 2009 Credit Facility, Cohen was in default of the minimum net worth covenant in its prior credit facility. As a result of this default, the lenders under the prior credit
facility increased the interest rate on that facility by 2%, ceased making advances and issuing letters of credit, converted all outstanding advances to prime based from the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, based after the expiration of the
LIBOR periods outstanding at that time. In addition, the lenders could have terminated the prior credit facility and demanded immediate repayment, or taken action against the collateral, although they did not do so. If the lenders had demanded
immediate repayment or proceeded against the collateral, such action would have materially adversely affected Cohen&#146;s liquidity. To pay the debt in full at that time, Cohen would have had to sell some or all of its assets or obtain alternative
financing. Such sales may not have been sufficient to pay off the loan in full and Cohen may not have been able to obtain alternative financing. See &#147;Information Regarding Cohen Brothers, LLC &#151; Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of

over-collateralization terms, cash flow release mechanisms or other significant factors regarding the calculation of net income to AFN. Failure to obtain favorable terms with regard to these matters may materially and adversely affect the
availability of cash flow to AFN. When the assets held by CDOs and CLOs fail to perform as anticipated, AFN&#146;s earnings are adversely affected and over-collateralization or other credit enhancement expenses associated with CDO and CLO financings
increase. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2009 and through the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, all of AFN&#146;s CDOs collateralized by
TruPS and MBS are failing over-collateralization tests and are currently not making any cash distributions to AFN. The failure of these over-collateralization tests are primarily the result of significant credit deterioration in the underlying
collateral of AFN&#146;s TruPS and MBS CDOs. The failure of the over-collateralization tests resulted in a change to the priority of payments to the debt and equity holders. Upon the failure of an over-collateralization test, the cash flows that
would otherwise have been distributed to AFN are used to sequentially pay down the outstanding principal balance of the more or most senior noteholders. The failure of these tests significantly reduces and in many cases eliminates the cash flow AFN
expects to receive from its investments in subordinated CDO tranches and from subordinated management fees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The over-collateralization
tests in the leveraged loan CLOs are typically triggered in the event that AFN experiences significant losses on the sale of assets below par, as well as unrealized fair value adjustments on certain assets as mandated by the indentures which govern
AFN&#146;s investments in leveraged loan CLOs. The primary cause for such fair value adjustments are default activity, and credit downgrades in the underlying asset pool. In the event that an over-collateralization failure occurs in a leveraged loan
CLO, changes to the priority of payments will result in the equity holders, including AFN, of the CLO not receiving any cash flows until such time as the over-collateralization failure is cured. Management continues to closely monitor and actively
manage the leveraged loan portfolio as a result of the continued deterioration in macro-credit conditions and the potential for significant stress on the middle-market companies in AFN&#146;s portfolio. Subsequent to June&nbsp;30, 2009, AFN
experienced an interest diversion test failure in Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd. The failure was primarily attributable to an increase in defaulted assets collateralizing the CLO. As a result of the interest diversion test failure in Emporia
Preferred Funding II, Ltd., AFN did not receive any of its quarterly distribution in July 2009, and assuming no additional defaults or significant credit downgrades AFN does not expect to receive its quarterly cash distribution for several quarters.

expected recovery rates of the underlying credit instrument. These changes could require AFN to satisfy margin calls and payment obligations, which could significantly harm AFN&#146;s cash flow and results of operations. A CDS is a contract in which
the contract buyer pays, in the case of a short position, or receives, in the case of a long position, a periodic premium until the contract expires or a credit event occurs. In return for this premium, the contract seller makes a payment to the
buyer, in the case of a short position, or receives a payment from the buyer, in the case of a long position, in each case if there is a credit default or other specified credit event with respect to the issuer of the underlying credit instrument
referenced in the CDS. On October&nbsp;11, 2007, a subsidiary of AFN entered into a derivative arrangement with a third party. Under the agreement, AFN is obligated to make payments to a third party in the event that: (1)&nbsp;the Class&nbsp;A-1
Notes of Alesco Preferred Funding XIV, Ltd., or Alesco XIV CDO, fail to make scheduled principal or interest payments on its $430 million senior secured notes due in 2037; and (2)&nbsp;the debt issued by a particular insurance issuer that
collateralizes the Alesco XIV CDO defaults. The notional amount of the contract is $8.8 million. AFN is also subject to margin requirements in the event that the Class&nbsp;A-1 Notes of the Alesco XIV CDO are downgraded below AAA and AFN&#146;s
stockholders&#146; equity decreases below $250 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Class&nbsp;A-1 Notes of the Alesco XIV CDO were downgraded to &#147;A+,&#148; however, AFN was not required to post margin collateral as of
June&nbsp;30, 2009. The maximum amount of the margin exposure is equal to the notional amount of the contract and the amount of required margin varies based upon AFN&#146;s outstanding equity balance and the rating level assigned to the Alesco XIV
CDO Class A-1 Notes. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Some of AFN&#146;s investments may be recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by its management

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFN may engage in hedging transactions in an effort to limit its exposure to changes in interest rates, which in turn may expose it to risks associated
with these transactions. AFN may utilize instruments such as options, forward contracts and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of its investment portfolio positions from changes
in market interest rates. Hedging against a decline in the values of its investment portfolio positions does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of these positions or prevent losses if the values of these positions decline.
However, hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of these investment portfolio positions. Hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the
values of the investment portfolio positions should increase. In addition, AFN may not be able to hedge against a generally anticipated interest rate fluctuation at an acceptable price. </FONT></P> <P

while AFN may enter into these transactions to seek to reduce interest rate risks, unanticipated changes in interest rates may result in poorer overall investment performance than if it had not engaged in any hedging transactions. In addition, the
degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the investment portfolio positions being hedged may vary. For a variety of reasons, AFN may not establish a perfect correlation
between such hedging instruments and the investment portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent AFN from achieving the intended hedge and expose it to risk of loss. </FONT></P>  <P

of a borrower to repay a loan secured by a residential property is dependent upon the income or assets of the borrower. A number of factors, including a general economic downturn, acts of God, terrorism, social unrest, and civil disturbances, may
impair borrowers&#146; abilities to repay their loans. As a result of the on-going disruption in the housing market and the downturn in the overall economy, AFN has recorded significant losses on its residential mortgage loan portfolio, including
the loans held directly by AFN and through its equity interest in a securitization trust collateralized by residential mortgage loans. The weighted average origination date for the loans included in AFN&#146;s portfolio was July 2006 and the
weighted average FICO of AFN&#146;s borrowers at origination was 734. The majority of AFN&#146;s loans were originated at the end of a period time of unprecedented real estate appreciation to borrowers that were deemed to be &#147;prime&#148;
borrowers. During the past two years, the values of the properties securing AFN&#146;s loans have materially decreased and the credit quality of its average borrower has also materially decreased. AFN expects to record further losses on this
portfolio as a result of the continuing increase in the unemployment rate, continued home price depreciation, lack of refinancing options for many borrowers and continued deterioration in the general macro-economic conditions. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the event of any default under a mortgage loan held directly by AFN or through its residual interests in securitization trusts, AFN will bear a risk
of loss of principal to the extent of any deficiency between the value of the collateral and the principal and accrued interest of the mortgage loan, which could have a material adverse effect on AFN&#146;s cash flow from operations. In the event of
the bankruptcy of a mortgage loan borrower, the mortgage loan to such borrower will be deemed to be secured only to the extent of the value of the underlying collateral at the time of bankruptcy (as determined by the bankruptcy court), and the lien
securing the mortgage loan will be subject to the avoidance powers of the bankruptcy trustee or debtor-in-possession to the extent the lien is unenforceable under state law, which could result in a total loss of AFN&#146;s investment. Foreclosure of
a mortgage loan can be an expensive and lengthy process, which could have a substantial negative effect on AFN&#146;s anticipated return on the foreclosed mortgage loan. In addition, residential mortgage borrowers are not typically prevented by the
terms of their mortgage loans from prepaying their loans in whole or in part at any time. Borrowers prepay their mortgages for many reasons, but typically, when interest rates decline, borrowers tend to prepay at faster rates. To the extent that the
underlying mortgage borrowers in any of AFN&#146;s mortgage loan pools or the pools underlying any of AFN&#146;s MBS prepay their loans, AFN will likely receive funds that will have to be reinvested, and may need to reinvest those funds at less
desirable rates of return. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFN has invested in residential mortgage loans that have material geographic concentrations. The risk of foreclosure and losses on these loans are
exacerbated by economic and other conditions in these geographic markets. In addition, the market value of the real estate securing those mortgage loans is adversely affected by adverse market and economic conditions in that region. Any sustained
period of increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses caused by adverse market or economic conditions, such as the current housing market, or natural disasters in that geographic region will adversely affect AFN&#146;s net interest
income from loans in its investment portfolio. Based on the total carrying amount of the mortgages taken out in connection with the residential mortgage loans AFN had invested in as of June&nbsp;30, 2009, approximately 48% of the properties securing
those residential mortgage loans were concentrated in the state of California. Residential mortgage loans secured by property in California may be subject to increased risk of loss due to the significant increase in the California unemployment rate
and significant decreases in median home prices. The California unemployment rate rose from 7.1% in June 2008 to 11.6% in June 2009. As of June 2009, the California unemployment rate was significantly higher than the national unemployment rate of
9.5%. Additionally, the median sales price of an existing California home was $275,000 in June 2009, representing a 26.3% drop from $373,000 in June 2008. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The insurance companies that collateralize the TruPS CDOs in which AFN has invested and may invest in the future are exposed to policy claims arising out
of catastrophes. Catastrophes may be caused by various events, including hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires and floods and may also include man-made catastrophes such as terrorist activities. The frequency and severity of catastrophes are inherently
unpredictable. Claims resulting from catastrophic events could materially reduce the profitability or harm the financial condition of the insurance companies included in the TruPS CDOs in which AFN invests, and could cause one or more of such
insurance companies to defer payment on such TruPS, or default on the payment of distributions of such TruPS. Payments under these TruPS are subordinated to policy claim payments owed by these insurance companies to their policy holders. In
addition, the ability of insurance companies to manage this risk may depend, in part, upon their ability to obtain catastrophe reinsurance, which may not be available at commercially acceptable rates in the future. </FONT></P>  <P

be closely interrelated as a result of credit or other relationships between the institutions. As a result, concerns about, or a default or threatened default by, one institution could lead to significant market-wide liquidity problems, losses or
defaults by other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as &#147;systemic risk&#148; and may adversely affect the fair value of AFN&#146;s investment portfolio and result in losses. Systemic risk may increase the likelihood of regulatory
action imposed on the banks included within AFN&#146;s TruPS portfolio. Bank regulatory action that precludes the institution from making periodic dividend payments, including payment of TruPS interest payments, would subject AFN to decreased cash
flows and potential losses or even a complete termination of distributions of cash to AFN in TruPS CDOs in which such TruPS issuers suffer such events. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, all of AFN&#146;s TruPS CDO investments have
failed the over-collateralization tests and are not making current cash distributions to AFN. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>The borrowers under leveraged loans

other types of loans because they require the borrower to make a large final payment upon the maturity of the loan. The ability of a borrower to make this final payment upon the maturity of the loan typically depends upon its ability either to
generate sufficient cash flow to repay the loan prior to maturity, to refinance the loan or to sell the related collateral securing the loan, if any. The ability of a borrower to accomplish any of these goals will be affected by many factors,
including the availability of financing at acceptable rates to the borrower, the financial condition of the borrower, the marketability of the related collateral, the operating history of the related business, tax laws and the prevailing general
economic conditions. Consequently, the borrower may not have the ability to repay the loan at maturity and AFN could lose all or most of the principal of its loan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

units. Members of Cohen will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares they otherwise would be entitled to receive in the business combination. In addition, all Cohen Class C membership units collectively, which are beneficially owned by Daniel

the remaining balance of 43.5%; however, the actual percentages will not be known until members of Cohen have made their elections to either receive AFN common stock or retain recapitalized Cohen membership units. In addition, it is expected that
Daniel G. Cohen will own 4,983,557 recapitalized Cohen membership units, or 31.9% of the outstanding Cohen membership units. If all Cohen Class&nbsp;A membership units and Cohen Class B membership units and LTIP units were to be exchanged for AFN

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The credit markets in the United States began suffering significant disruption in the summer of 2007. This disruption began in the subprime residential
mortgage sector and extended to the broader market and credit markets generally. Available liquidity, particularly through ABS, CDOs and other securitizations, declined precipitously during the second half of 2007 and remained depressed into mid
2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The disruption in these markets directly impacted AFN&#146;s business because its investment portfolio includes investments in MBS,
leveraged loans and bank and insurance company debt. In the wake of these events, the values of AFN&#146;s assets declined significantly. AFN&#146;s investments in debt securities and loans decreased $4.7 billion to $3.8 billion as of June&nbsp;30,
2009 from $8.5 billion as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. Additionally, AFN&#146;s business model relied on regularly accessing capital markets to fund growth. The disruption in the credit markets severely restricted AFN&#146;s ability to raise new
capital and finance new business investments through CDOs and CLOs. Compounding these issues was the fact that banks were capital constrained, which severely limited their ability to provide new financing commitments to AFN. Primarily as a result of
the challenges in the credit markets and anticipated impact on AFN&#146;s business, AFN&#146;s board of directors believed that a transformation of AFN&#146;s business was necessary. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The disruption in the credit markets also directly impacted Cohen&#146;s business. Beginning in the second half of 2007, securitized financial assets,
investments in CDOs, CLOs, and similar structured vehicles began to fall out of favor with investors due to the poor performance of these assets and investments. At that time, Cohen management, consisting of Daniel G. Cohen, Christopher Ricciardi
and Joseph W. Pooler, Jr., believed that the credit market disruption could severely restrict Cohen&#146;s ability to earn new issue revenue. Cohen management also believed that the credit market disruption could negatively impact its ability to
increase AUM and asset management fees. In addition, asset defaults within CDOs managed by Cohen resulted in the reduction, or in certain cases elimination, of certain of Cohen&#146;s management fees. Cohen management believed that the increasingly
challenging credit markets would reduce investor demand for the asset classes in which Cohen specializes thereby making it more difficult for Cohen to raise additional capital either into existing permanent </FONT>

credit spreads and reduction in the fair value of fixed income securities and loans would impact Cohen&#146;s business as follows: (1)&nbsp;a decline in the fair value of most of the investments Cohen owns which would reduce income and the book
value of Cohen&#146;s equity; and (2)&nbsp;because the asset management fees Cohen charges its investment funds and certain permanent capital vehicles is primarily based on the NAV of those funds, as the fair value of the investments within each
entity declines, Cohen&#146;s asset management revenue would decline as well. Primarily as a result of the challenges in the credit markets and anticipated impact on Cohen&#146;s business, Cohen&#146;s management believed the following: </FONT></P>

committee met with representatives from Stifel Nicolaus and Cooley. At this meeting, the special committee and Stifel Nicolaus further discussed potential strategic alternatives for AFN at the request of the AFN special committee. Stifel Nicolaus
noted the benefits, potential risks and other considerations associated in connection with maintaining AFN&#146;s current operations with no change, a strategic repurchase of AFN&#146;s shares, a change of AFN&#146;s corporate structure, a possible
liquidation of AFN, the purchase of Cohen&#146;s interest in the management contracts, the internalization of the current external manager, investment in other opportunities or asset classes, purchase of other asset management contracts, potential
merger with similarly situated companies, sale of stock for stock or for cash, and potential sale of all assets of AFN. The AFN special committee evaluated, with input from Stifel Nicolaus and Cooley, the foregoing strategic alternatives available
to AFN. Stifel Nicolaus also presented the analysis of and ranges of values of various asset management contracts owned by Cohen, under a variety of scenarios. At this time, the AFN special committee decided that it would need additional time to
review and discuss the Stifel Nicolaus presentation at subsequent meetings and that additional financial and legal analysis would need to be conducted with respect to certain aspects of the strategic alternatives. </FONT></P>  <P

of the potential transaction. The transaction proposed by Cohen contemplated the transfer by Cohen to AFN of the management agreements for Alesco X &#150; XVII, Emporia II &#150; III, and all of the membership interests issued and outstanding in
Cohen Brothers Management, LLC, or the LLC Membership Interest. The proposed consideration payable by AFN to Cohen for the LLC Membership Interests was $40 million, payable in cash at the closing, and $30 million, payable in the form of a senior

Mr.&nbsp;Cohen presented his vision for AFN and answered questions from the AFN special committee regarding the proposed internalization of management proposal. The AFN special committee discussed a number of alternative structures that it believed
might make the proposed internalization of management more beneficial and attractive to the AFN stockholders. The AFN special committee discussed the possibility of AFN purchasing only parts of the management contracts rather than the current

2009, the AFN special committee met with representatives from Stifel Nicolaus and Cooley to review and discuss the Stifel Nicolaus report. Stifel Nicolaus indicated that pursuing the proposed transaction, or some form thereof, may be advisable if a
satisfactory compromise could be reached on the relative valuations of the assets of the various parties. The AFN special committee and Stifel Nicolaus also focused their discussion on the valuation methodologies for the parties to the potential
transaction. The AFN special committee and Stifel Nicolaus discussed the outstanding debt of the parties as well as potential increased accounting costs for the surviving public entity due to the fact that Cohen was a private company. Stifel
Nicolaus then discussed the possibility that some of the collateral of the parties may be downgraded in the future and the AFN special committee noted that this potential downgrading of assets might impact AFN financially absent the proposed
transaction. Because of several perceived advantages to AFN, the AFN special committee concluded that AFN should continue to move forward in evaluating a proposed merger with Cohen at this time. However, the AFN special committee determined that the
inability of the parties to agree on relative economic values with Company A made the pursuit of a transaction with Company A disadvantageous for AFN and its stockholders. In addition, the AFN special committee determined that the added complexity
of a three party deal was disadvantageous and that it was not in the best interests of AFN and its stockholders to continue negotiations with Company A. The AFN special committee and Stifel Nicolaus then discussed proposed ownership percentages for
AFN&#146;s stockholders in the surviving entity based on the initial due diligence performed by Stifel Nicolaus. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Shortly thereafter, Cohen
management had also determined that Cohen should continue to move forward in evaluating a proposed merger with AFN and that Company A should no longer be considered for a transaction involving Cohen and AFN at this time because it believed that
Company A&#146;s relative valuation of the parties was not consistent with Cohen management&#146;s assessment of the relative values of each of the parties and it did not appear likely they were going to be able to overcome these differences. In
addition, Cohen&#146;s management recognized the incremental complexity in negotiating a three party deal that would utilize additional company resources. Cohen&#146;s management determined that a transaction with only AFN presented the most

to refinance the Bank Group Loan with TD Bank prior to its expiration in July 2009 without the benefits expected to be realized by Cohen in the business combination. Cohen management noted that the 2009 Credit Facility would necessitate an amendment
to the merger agreement because, as noted above, the original terms of the merger agreement included a closing condition that required Cohen to obtain a firm commitment, subject to customary conditions, from one or more financial institutions for a

capitalization of Cohen would not change as a result of issuances of new Cohen restricted units under the 2009 Equity Award Plan; therefore, it did not believe that the business combination exchange ratios should be adjusted. </FONT></P> <P

the plan, primarily because the Equity Funding Agreement would negate any potential dilution to AFN. The AFN special committee approved the plan, subject to the review by Cooley and Clifford Chance of the definitive plan documents to confirm that
they complied with the terms presented to the special committee. With regard to the amendment to permit Cohen to obtain asset-based financing for its broker-dealer subsidiary, the AFN special committee discussed the merits of the proposal and
determined that any such amendment should be circumscribed so that, among other things, the overall leverage would be limited and Cohen would invest only in high-quality assets using appropriate hedging strategies. The special committee asked that
Mr.&nbsp;Ullom work with Cohen to come up with an acceptable list of parameters to be included in the proposed amendment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Following

benefits to be obtained from the business combination and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. AFN and Cohen believe that the combination of AFN&#146;s existing capital and its public listing with Cohen&#146;s diverse revenue
sources and comprehensive operating platform will create a well-capitalized company with opportunities for profitable growth in the future. In addition, AFN and Cohen believe that the business combination presents the opportunity for administrative
and operational economies of scale and cost savings for the combined company through the elimination of duplicative expenses. Although such savings are difficult to quantify, it is expected that the combined company will be able to consolidate
auditors, internal accounting functions, various other professional services engagements, director and officer insurance policies, and other miscellaneous support costs. Furthermore, an important component of the post-business combination synergies
that the combined company hopes to realize relates to leveraging AFN&#146;s capital with Cohen&#146;s existing capital markets and asset management infrastructure. In that regard, it is anticipated that the combined company will be able to
capitalize on current market conditions with capital and infrastructure that is already in place and able to be utilized without incurring incremental cost. This section summarizes the primary strategic and financial reasons why AFN and Cohen

foregoing factors. In addition, individual members of the Cohen board of managers may have assigned different weights to various factors. The Cohen board of managers considered all these factors as a whole, including discussions with senior

Stifel Nicolaus will not reflect any developments that may occur or may have occurred after the date of its opinion and prior to the completion of the business combination. Stifel Nicolaus has no obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion

limitations were imposed by the AFN special committee on the scope of Stifel Nicolaus&#146; investigation or the procedures to be followed by Stifel Nicolaus in rendering its opinion. In arriving at its opinion, Stifel Nicolaus did not ascribe a

board of directors for their information and assistance in connection with the consideration of the financial terms of the business combination and is not to be relied upon by Cohen. Stifel Nicolaus&#146; opinion was not intended to be and does not

are summarized below. Such summary does not purport to be a complete description of such analyses. Stifel Nicolaus believes that its analyses and the summary set forth herein must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses
and the factors considered therein, without considering all factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the analyses and processes underlying its opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective
judgments and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Stifel Nicolaus considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analyses
or factors considered by it. The range of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described below should not be taken to be Stifel Nicolaus&#146; view of the actual value of AFN or Cohen. In its analyses, Stifel Nicolaus made numerous
assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of AFN or Cohen. Any estimates contained in Stifel Nicolaus&#146; analyses are not necessarily indicative of
actual future values or results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such estimates. Estimates of values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the actual prices at which companies or
their securities actually may be sold. No company or transaction utilized in Stifel Nicolaus&#146; analyses was identical to AFN or Cohen or the business combination. Accordingly, an analysis of the results described below is not mathematical;
rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other facts that could affect the public trading value of the companies to which they are being compared.
None of the analyses performed by Stifel Nicolaus was assigned a greater significance by Stifel Nicolaus than any other, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Stifel Nicolaus. The
analyses described below do not purport to be indicative of actual future results, or to reflect the prices at which AFN&#146;s or Cohen&#146;s securities may trade in the public markets, which may vary depending upon various factors, including
changes in interest rates, dividend rates, market conditions, economic conditions and other factors that influence the price of securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">In accordance with customary investment banking practice, Stifel Nicolaus employed generally accepted valuation methods in reaching its opinion. The following is a summary of the material financial analyses that Stifel Nicolaus used in
providing its opinion. Some of the summaries of financial analyses are presented in tabular format. In order to understand the financial analyses used by Stifel Nicolaus more fully, you should read the tables together with the text of each summary.
The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of Stifel Nicolaus&#146; financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, and if viewed in isolation could create a misleading or incomplete view of
the financial analyses performed by Stifel Nicolaus. The summary data set forth below do not represent and should not be viewed by anyone as constituting conclusions reached by Stifel Nicolaus with respect to any of the analyses performed by it in
connection with its opinion. Rather, Stifel Nicolaus made its determination as to the fairness to holders of AFN common stock of the financial terms of the business combination, from a financial point of view, on the basis of its experience and
professional judgment after considering the results of all of the analyses performed. Accordingly, the data included in the summary tables and the corresponding imputed ranges of value for AFN should be considered as a whole and in the context of
the full narrative description of all of the financial analyses set forth in the following pages, including the assumptions underlying these analyses. Considering the data included in the summary table without considering the full narrative
description of all of the financial analyses, including the assumptions underlying these analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses performed by Stifel Nicolaus. </FONT></P> <P

upon the delivery of its opinion, and a transaction fee of $400,000, which is contingent upon the completion of the business combination. Stifel Nicolaus will not receive any other significant payment or compensation contingent upon successful
completion of the business combination or any aspect thereof. In addition, AFN has agreed to indemnify Stifel Nicolaus for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement. In the past, Stifel Nicolaus has performed investment banking services for
AFN and other affiliates of Cohen from time to time for which Stifel Nicolaus received customary compensation. Stifel Nicolaus may seek to provide investment banking services to AFN, Cohen, the combined company post-business combination or their
respective affiliates in the future, for which Stifel Nicolaus would seek customary compensation. In the ordinary course of business, Stifel Nicolaus and its clients trade in the securities of AFN and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or
short position in such securities. Stifel Nicolaus&#146; internal Fairness Opinion Committee approved the issuance of its opinion as financial advisor to AFN&#146;s special committee. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px"

Section&nbsp;721(b) of the Internal Revenue Code denies gain deferral under Section&nbsp;721(a) to property transfers to a partnership classified as an &#147;investment company.&#148; This exception is designed to prevent tax-deferred
diversification of a concentrated investment portfolio of securities. A partnership will generally be treated as an investment company with respect to a particular transfer if (1)&nbsp;immediately after the transfer, more than 80% of the value of
the assets of the partnership consist of stock, securities, cash and certain other liquid assets, or the 80% test, and (2)&nbsp;the transfer results in &#147;diversification&#148; of the transferors&#146; interests. A transfer generally results in
the diversification of the transferors&#146; interests if two or more persons transfer non-identical assets to a partnership, unless each transferor transfers a diversified portfolio of stocks and securities. For purposes of determining if a
portfolio is a diversified portfolio of stocks and securities, a person who holds 50% or more, by vote or value, of a corporation is treated as holding a ratable portion of such corporation&#146;s assets. </FONT></P> <P

portfolio of stocks and securities. As a result, so long as the conversion of Cohen membership units into recapitalized Cohen membership units is either not treated as a contribution by Cohen members or is treated as a contribution of a diversified
portfolio of stocks and securities, the AFN contribution should not be treated as resulting in a diversification of AFN&#146;s interests. See &#147;&#151;&nbsp;Conversion of Cohen Membership Units into Recapitalized Cohen Membership Units &#151;
Section&nbsp;721(b)&#148; below. Even if the AFN contribution were treated as resulting in a diversification of AFN&#146;s interests, and therefore Section&nbsp;721(b) applied to the contribution, AFN believes that it will realize a loss, rather
than a gain, with respect to substantially all of the assets that it will contribute to Cohen in the AFN contribution, which AFN would not be permitted to recognize under Section&nbsp;721(a). As a result, AFN should not be required to recognize a

under Internal Revenue Code Section&nbsp;752 immediately prior to the exchange, plus any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of AFN, and (2)&nbsp;the Cohen member&#146;s income tax basis in his or her Cohen membership units. Any gain or loss
recognized by a Cohen member should be capital except to the extent that it is attributable to inventory, unrealized receivables, and certain other categories of assets held by Cohen. Any capital gain or loss recognized should be long or short term
depending on whether the Cohen member has held his or her Cohen membership units exchanged for AFN common stock for more than one year. A portion of Cohen&#146;s assets consist of management contracts. These contracts should be treated as unrealized
receivables to the extent that the value of the contracts is attributable to services rendered or to be rendered by Cohen. A Cohen member&#146;s gain or loss attributable to the contracts (to the extent treated as an unrealized receivable) should be
ordinary gain or loss and to the extent not so treated should be capital gain or loss. Note that it is possible that a Cohen member could recognize a capital loss on the sale of Cohen membership units but could recognize ordinary gain as a result of

purpose of applying Section&nbsp;721(b), the constructive exchange of partnership interests should be treated as a contribution of a Continuing Cohen Member&#146;s proportionate share of the assets of Cohen to post-business combination Cohen,
together with the AFN contribution. Section&nbsp;721(b) should generally apply to a deemed contribution unless the Continuing Cohen Members are each treated as contributing a diversified portfolio of stocks and securities pursuant to the exchange.
The assets of Cohen include certain management contracts that have a value significantly greater than their adjusted income tax basis. Management contracts ordinarily would be viewed as non-identical to the securities and other assets acquired by
post-business combination Cohen from AFN with the result that gain should be recognized on the deemed transfer by the Cohen members to post-business combination Cohen because the transactions would result in the diversification of the Cohen
members&#146; interests. Cohen has been advised by its counsel, however, that, based on published IRS authority dealing with the characterization of certain other types of contracts for the management of investment assets, the portion of the value
of these contracts in excess of reasonable compensation for the services rendered, or the excess servicing assets, should be classified as &#147;securities&#148; for purposes of the diversified portfolio rule of Section&nbsp;721(b). These assets
(<I>i.e</I>., the excess servicing assets) should then be included in a pool of diversified securities. Based on this advice, and based upon certain information as to the composition and value of the AFN and the other Cohen assets, each Continuing
Cohen Member should be regarded as contributing to post-business combination Cohen an interest in a diversified portfolio of non-identical stock or securities and, therefore, the contribution should be a tax-deferred contribution pursuant to
Section&nbsp;721(a) of the Internal Revenue Code rather than a contribution to an investment company pursuant to Section&nbsp;721(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

limitations as well as to representations received from Cohen and AFN with respect to the nature, diversity and relative values of the portfolio holdings of Cohen and AFN. The transactions involve a unique structure that has not been the subject of
a decision or ruling by the courts or by the IRS. Accordingly, the conclusions above are subject to challenge by the IRS. If the IRS successfully treated the exchange of a Cohen member of his or her Cohen membership units for recapitalized Cohen
membership units as transfers of interests in a non-diversified portfolio of assets to post-business combination Cohen, a Continuing Cohen Member would recognize any gain pursuant to such deemed exchange at the time of the business combination.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The deemed contribution of Cohen assets to post-business combination Cohen in exchange for Cohen membership units will not be tax-deferred to the extent it is treated, in whole or in part, as a &#147;disguised
sale&#148; of the assets under Section&nbsp;707(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Regulations thereunder, or the Disguised Sale Regulations. The Disguised Sale Regulations generally provide that, unless one of the prescribed exceptions
is applicable, a transfer of property by a partner to a partnership and a payment of money or other consideration by the partnership to the partner (including the partnership&#146;s assumption of, or taking property subject to, a liability) within
two years of such transfer will be presumed to be a sale of such property by the partner to the partnership unless the facts and circumstances clearly establish that the transfers do not constitute a sale. In general, a payment that is dependent on
the entrepreneurial risk of partnership operations is not treated as part of a disguised sale. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are two types of distributions that
may be made to Continuing Cohen Members by Cohen within two years after the business combination: (1)&nbsp;deemed distributions resulting from Cohen&#146;s deemed assumption of, or taking property subject to, liabilities of pre-business combination
Cohen, and (2)&nbsp;actual distributions of Cohen cash flow to the Continuing Cohen Members following the business combination. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although a
partnership&#146;s assumption of a partner&#146;s liabilities (or the taking by the partnership of property subject to any such liability) constitutes a transfer by the partnership to such partner for purposes of the Disguised Sale Regulations, no
disguised sale results where all the liabilities in question constitute &#147;qualified liabilities.&#148; Cohen anticipates that the liabilities assumed in the deemed contribution to post-business combination Cohen should constitute qualified
liabilities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to any actual cash distributions by Cohen within two years of the contributions of the assets, the Disguised
Sale Regulations provide that payments to partners that constitute &#147;operating cash flow distributions&#148; generally are presumed not to be a part of a sale of property to the partnership, even if they occur within two years of the
contribution to the partnership. Distributions to a partner during a particular year qualify as operating cash flow distributions for this purpose so long as the total amount of such distributions to such partner does not exceed the product of the
partnership&#146;s net cash flow from operations for the year multiplied by the partner&#146;s percentage interest in overall partnership profits for that year. It is not clear whether this safe harbor will apply to the distributions that the
Continuing Cohen Members will receive from Cohen after the business combination. Nevertheless, even if a safe harbor does not apply, the Continuing Cohen Members should be able to rebut the regulatory presumption that distributions they receive

partnership and one or more transfers by the partnership of money or other consideration (including the partnership&#146;s assumption or, or taking property subject to, a liability) to that partner are treated as a disguised sale, then the transfers
will be treated as a sale of property, in whole or in part, to the partnership by the partner acting in a capacity other than as a member of the partnership, rather than as a contribution to the partnership under Section&nbsp;721 of the Internal
Revenue Code and a partnership distribution. A transfer that is treated as a sale under the Disguised Sale Regulations is treated as a sale for all purposes of the Internal Revenue Code, and the sale is considered to take place on the date that,
under general principles of United States federal tax law, the partnership is considered the owner of the property. If the transfer of money or other consideration from the partnership to the partner occurs after the transfer of property to the
partnership, the partner and the partnership are treated as if, on the date of sale, the partnership transferred to the partner an obligation to transfer to the partner money or other consideration. Any such disguised sale should qualify as an
&#147;installment sale&#148; under Section&nbsp;453 of the Internal Revenue Code and thus a Continuing Cohen Member should be entitled to defer any taxable gain (except gain attributable to management contracts or certain other Cohen assets, to the
extent that such assets are treated as unrealized receivables and therefore not eligible for installment treatment) until the date of such payment, although a payment should likely be treated as received on the date of the business combination to
the extent that such Continuity Cohen Member&#146;s share of Cohen liabilities exceeds his or her basis in his or her Cohen membership units. In addition, other general tax principles applicable in the case of installment sales would apply. For
example, interest income and interest expense may be imputed for United States federal income tax purposes to such Continuing Cohen Member and Cohen, respectively, and the Continuing Cohen Member may be required under Section&nbsp;453A of the
Internal Revenue Code to pay interest to the IRS (at the federal underpayment rate) on the amount of deferred tax attributable to such deemed installment sale. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Notwithstanding the application of Section&nbsp;721(b) and the Disguised Sale Rules, the IRS could seek to take the position that the receipt by a Continuing Cohen Member of a right to require a redemption of his or
her recapitalized Cohen membership units should be treated as if the Continuing Cohen Member sold his or her recapitalized Cohen membership units on the date of the business combination. The IRS could compare the business combination to an example
contained in the Regulations, under which a contribution of assets to a newly organized limited partnership that is simultaneous with the contribution of the proceeds of a public offering by a newly organized public corporation was treated as a
tax-deferred contribution where there was a two-year period during which a similar redemption right could not be exercised by the contributor. In addition, the Regulations provide that, for purposes of determining if a taxpayer who sells property
should be considered to receive an obligation to make a future payment (and therefore may be eligible for installment sale treatment) or should be considered to receive the payment currently, if the seller receives a debt obligation that is
convertible into stock, the taxpayer will not be deemed to receive the stock currently if the conversion right is not exercisable for at least one year after the sale. Based on the foregoing, the IRS could seek to take the position that a lock up
period of less than one year, as in the present situation, should be disregarded for United States federal income tax purposes, and therefore the business combination should be a taxable transaction to Continuing Cohen Members. The IRS could face
difficulty in this assertion as, in addition to other reasons, Cohen is an existing partnership that was not formed in connection with the business combination, the Continuing Cohen Members have held their Cohen membership units for significant
periods prior to the business combination, and the business combination is not otherwise structured as an installment sale. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the IRS

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">United States federal income tax law requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the
deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. Therefore, for taxable years prior to 2009, in order to qualify as a REIT, AFN had to pay out substantially all of its taxable income, if any, to its stockholders. All of AFN&#146;s
dividends are authorized in the discretion of its board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, AFN&#146;s earnings, financial condition, and maintaining its qualification as a REIT. AFN&#146;s actual results of operations and its
ability to pay distributions will be affected by a number of factors, including the net interest and other income from its portfolio, its operating expenses and any other expenditures. The dividend distributions identified below have all been
characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes. Subject to the completion of the business combination, for taxable years beginning on or after January&nbsp;1, 2009, AFN does not expect to qualify as a REIT, and therefore expects to adopt a new
policy with respect to the payment of dividends. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following table shows the dividends paid or declared on AFN common stock during the

began suffering significant disruption in the summer of 2007. This disruption began in the subprime residential mortgage sector and extended to the broader credit and financial markets generally. During the third quarter of 2008, it became clear
that the global economy has been adversely impacted by the credit crisis. Available liquidity, particularly through ABS, CDOs and other securitization structures, which began its precipitous decline during the second half of 2007, continued to
decline in 2008 and remains depressed as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Concerns about the capital adequacy of financial services companies, disruptions in global credit markets, volatility in commodities prices and continued
pricing declines in the United States housing market have led to further disruptions in the financial markets, adversely affected regional banks and have exacerbated the longevity and severity of the credit crisis. The disruption in these markets
directly impacts our business because our investment portfolio includes investments in MBS, leveraged loans and bank and insurance company debt. In addition, the general disruption in the structured products markets has made it difficult for us to

TruPS issued by banks, bank holding companies and insurance companies, leveraged loans to small and mid-sized companies, mortgage loans, other real estate-related senior and subordinated debt securities, and RMBS. The disruption in the credit
markets has directly impacted and continues to directly impact our business because our investment strategy is primarily focused on making investments in our target asset classes and financing those investments on a long-term basis through the
issuance of structured products. Our board of directors has evaluated strategic alternatives for our company, including the business combination with Cohen, and believes that a change in AFN&#146;s historical investment strategy may be necessary in
the future. Our business combination with Cohen will result in a change to our future investment strategy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have experienced significant
defaults and realized losses within our MBS and TruPS portfolios. These defaults and realized losses have resulted in the failure of over-collateralization tests within our MBS and TruPS CDOs and we are not currently and do not expect in the
foreseeable future to receive cash distributions from those investments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In general, our historical investment strategy has been to acquire investments in our target asset
classes on a short-term basis through on and off-balance sheet warehouse facilities or other short-term financing arrangements and finance these investments on a long-term basis with securitization vehicles, including CDOs and CLOs. Our historical
financing strategy involved the use of significant amounts of leverage, which has resulted in increased losses in our portfolios. We expect that our use of leverage will continue to have the effect of increasing losses in this current period of
unfavorable economic conditions. The amount of leverage we have and can employ is driven by and limited to the common business practices of the companies providing the financing for each asset class. We do not have a policy limiting the amount of
leverage we may incur to finance our investments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A CDO or CLO is a securitization structure pursuant to which assets such as TruPS,
surplus notes, ABS such as RMBS, leveraged loans or other loans or securities are transferred to a special purpose entity that issues multiple classes of debt and equity interests to finance a portfolio of securities or loans. A portion of the cash
flow from the portfolio of assets collateralizing the CDO is used to repay the CDO liabilities. The equity securities issued by the CDO are the &#147;first loss&#148; piece of the capital structure, but they are entitled to all residual amounts
available for payment after the obligations to the debtholders have been satisfied. In each of our CDO investments other than the Emporia deals, the residual amounts that are available for payment to the equity holders are being used to pay down the
CDO liabilities. The residual cash flows have been redirected to pay down the CDO liabilities as a result of the failure of certain credit enhancement tests or over-collateralization tests that are included in the structures of the CDOs. We may
acquire all or a portion of the equity or debt securities issued by CDOs, CLOs and other securitizations. If we purchase a sufficient amount of the equity interests in the CDO or CLO or meet other consolidation rules pursuant to GAAP, we will
consolidate all of the assets of the CDO or CLO and will reflect all of the debt of the CDO or CLO on our balance sheet and will reflect income, net of non-controlling interests. The securities issued by CDOs, CLOs and other securitizations that we
own are equity securities that are subordinate to debt. Such securities are not secured by any collateral and generally rank junior to an issuer&#146;s existing debt securities in right of payment and in liquidation. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our investments are subject to limitations because we conduct our business so as to qualify as a REIT and not be required to register as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act. TruPS, leveraged loans and equity in corporate entities, such as CDO and CLO entities, created to hold TruPS, and leveraged loans, do not qualify as real estate assets for purposes of the REIT asset tests.
The income received from these investments will not generally qualify as real estate-related income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. Therefore, we must invest in a sufficient amount of qualifying real estate assets directly or through
subsidiaries that are disregarded for United States federal income tax purposes so that the value of those assets and the amount of gross income they generate, when compared to the value of the securities we hold in taxable REIT subsidiaries, or
TRS, and the dividends received and other income includable by us in our gross income as a result of our TRS investments, together with any other non-qualifying REIT income we earn or non-qualifying assets that we own, enable us to continue to
satisfy the REIT requirements. We expect that our investments in RMBS and mortgage loans and other qualifying real estate assets will generate most of our gross income for United States federal income tax purposes and such income will be
supplemented by net income inclusions from our investments in foreign TRS and net income from our investments in domestic TRS to the extent such net income is distributed to us. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">as of June&nbsp;30, 2009. Non-recourse indebtedness consists of indebtedness of consolidated VIEs, which has recourse only to specific assets pledged as
collateral to the lenders. The creditors of each consolidated VIE have no recourse to our general credit. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with each VIE is the $440.7 million of capital that we have invested in warehouse
first-loss deposits and the preference shares or debt of the CDO, CLO or other types of securitization structures. None of the indebtedness shown in the table above subjects us to potential margin calls for additional pledges of cash or other
assets. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company repurchased and retired $111.4 million par value of its outstanding
convertible debt securities for $50.6 million. The Company realized a gain of $56.4 million on these transactions, net of a $2.7 million write-off of related deferred costs and a $1.6 million discount. As of the date of this proxy
statement/prospectus, $28.7 million principal amount of the Company&#146;s contingent convertible debt securities remains outstanding. The holders of the Company&#146;s remaining $28.7 million aggregate principal amount of convertible debt will have
the right to require us to repurchase their notes at 100% of their principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon if, among other things, a person acquires beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger

historically been structured such that we or the securitization vehicles that we consolidate receive payments based on a variable interest rate and makes payments based on a fixed interest rate. The variable interest rate on which payments are
received is calculated based on various reset mechanisms for LIBOR. The short-term financing arrangements generally have maturities of 30 to 90 days and carry interest rates that correspond to LIBOR rates for those same periods. We use swap
agreements to effectively fix our borrowing cost and do not hold swap agreements for speculative or trading purposes. See &#147;&#151; Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Alesco Financial

asset credit analysis and underwriting process utilized by Cohen in their business. With respect to the identification of assets in our target asset classes to be acquired during warehouse accumulation periods, we have relied on the expertise of
separate credit committees at Cohen for each of our target asset classes. Our manager has historically provided us with long-term financing strategies, such as CDOs, CLOs and other securitization vehicles through which assets are ultimately
financed, subject to the approval of a majority of our independent directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cohen&#146;s credit analysts continually monitor assets for

performance, meetings to discuss credit performance and watch list surveillance. If our manager identifies a particular asset exhibiting deterioration in credit, the relevant credit team will meet to discuss the creditworthiness of the underlying

structure. The structured financing vehicles typically include various credit enhancement provisions, including overcollateralization tests, which serve to mitigate risk of loss to the debtholders in the transactions. Significant defaults and
realized losses within our MBS and TruPS portfolios have resulted in the failure of overcollateralization tests within our MBS and TruPS CDOs. Additionally, we have failed an interest diversion test in our Emporia Preferred Funding II CLO and as a
result we are not receiving cash distributions. We are not currently and do not expect in the foreseeable future to receive cash distributions from those residual interests. The significant defaults and realized losses within our investment
portfolios and the failure of overcollateralization tests have dramatically reduced the value of our residual interests in these structured financing vehicles. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

manager may use interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, short sales of securities, options or other hedging instruments in order to implement our hedging strategy. In general, income from hedging transactions does not constitute qualifying income
for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income requirements. To the extent, however, that we enter into a hedging contract to reduce interest rate risk or foreign currency risk on indebtedness incurred to acquire or carry real estate assets, any
income that we derive from the contract would be excluded income for purposes of calculating the REIT 95% gross income test if specified requirements are met, but would not be excluded and would not be qualifying income for purposes of calculating
the REIT 75% gross income test. We have structured and intend to structure any future hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our qualification as a REIT. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section&nbsp;3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines as an investment company any issuer that is engaged or proposes to
engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer&#146;s total assets (exclusive of United States
government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Excluded from the term &#147;investment securities,&#148; among other things, are United States government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not
themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company set forth in Section&nbsp;3(c)(1) or Section&nbsp;3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. Because we have organized the Company as a
holding company that conducts our businesses primarily through majority-owned subsidiaries, the securities issued by our subsidiaries that are excepted from the definition of &#147;investment company&#148; by Section&nbsp;3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the

to qualify for this exemption, at least 55% of its portfolio must be composed of qualifying assets and at least 80% of its portfolio must be composed of real estate-related assets. We generally expect that investments in CMBS will be considered
qualifying assets and real-estate related assets under Section&nbsp;3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. The treatment of CDOs, ABS, bank loans and stressed and distressed debt securities as qualifying assets and real-estate related assets is

mortgage sector and extended to the broader credit and financial markets generally. During the third quarter of 2008, it became clear that the global economy had been adversely impacted by the credit crisis. Available liquidity, particularly through
ABS CDOs and other securitizations, declined precipitously during the second half of 2007, continued to decline in 2008 and remains depressed as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Concerns about the capital adequacy of financial
services companies, disruptions in global credit markets, volatility in commodities prices and continued pricing declines in the United States housing market have led to further disruptions in the financial markets, adversely affected regional banks
and have exacerbated the longevity and severity of the credit crisis. The disruption in these markets directly impacts our business because our investment portfolio includes investments in MBS, leveraged loans, residential mortgage loans and bank
and insurance company debt. In addition, the general disruption in the structured products markets prevented us from executing our long-term financing strategy. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

taxable income. As previously disclosed, we have received written notice from the trustees of Kleros Real Estate I, II, III and IV that each CDO experienced an event of default. These events of default resulted from the failure of certain additional
over-collateralization tests primarily due to credit rating agency downgrades. The events of default provide the controlling class debtholder in each CDO with the option to liquidate all of the MBS assets collateralizing the particular CDO. The

the downturn in the overall economy, we have recorded significant losses on our residential mortgage loan portfolio, including the loans held directly by us and through our subordinated interests in a securitization trust collateralized by
residential mortgage loans. The weighted average origination date for the loans included in our portfolio was July 2006 and the weighted average FICO of our borrowers at origination was 723. The majority of our loans were originated at the end of a
period of unprecedented real estate appreciation to borrowers that were deemed to be &#147;prime&#148; borrowers. During the past two years, the values of the properties securing our loans have materially decreased and the credit quality of our
average borrower has also materially decreased. We expect to record further losses on our residential mortgage loan portfolio as a result of the continuing increase in the unemployment rate, continued home price depreciation, lack of refinancing
options for many borrowers and continued deterioration in the general macro economic conditions. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, we maintained an allowance for residential mortgage loan losses of $91.6 million. </FONT></P>  <P

securitization trust have resulted in a decrease to the amount of cash flows that we receive. These losses are attributable to an increase in the delinquency rate of the underlying pool of mortgage loans since the closing date of the securitization,
which has also caused a reduction in the amount of principal and interest that is collected from the mortgage loans. To the extent such collections continue to decrease, there may not be sufficient cash flow to pay any principal and interest to the
subordinated notes until the senior noteholders have been paid in full. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although we have recorded an allowance for loan losses of

cash in respect of its equity interests until sufficient cash or collateral is retained in the CDOs to cure the over-collateralization tests. We estimate that our direct investment in the preference shares of the TruPS CDOs has little to no value as

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We invest in leveraged loans through our Emporia CLO subsidiaries and through investments held in an on-balance sheet warehouse facility. Management
continues to closely monitor and actively manage the leveraged loan portfolio as a result of the continued deterioration in macro-credit conditions and the potential for significant stress on the middle-market companies in our portfolio. As of
June&nbsp;30, 2009, our leveraged loan portfolio has experienced seven defaults in an aggregate principal amount of $18.9 million. The over-collateralization requirements in the leveraged loan CLOs are typically triggered in the event that we
experience significant losses on the sale of assets below par, as well as unrealized fair value adjustments on certain assets as mandated by the indentures which govern our leveraged loan CLOs. The primary cause for such fair value adjustments are
default activity, and credit downgrades in the underlying asset pool. Subsequent to June&nbsp;30, 2009, we experienced an interest diversion test failure in Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd. The failure was primarily attributable to an increase in
defaulted assets collateralizing the CLO. As a result of the interest diversion test failure in Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd., the Company did not receive any of its quarterly distribution in July 2009, and assuming no additional defaults or
significant credit downgrades the Company does not expect to receive its quarterly cash distribution for several quarters. We estimate that the economic value of our direct investments in the preference shares of leveraged loan CLOs is approximately
$2.5 million as of June&nbsp;30, 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company continues to classify all of the leveraged loans included in
its warehouse facility with a third party as held for sale. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that it no longer had the intent to hold these particular loans to maturity or for the foreseeable future. During the three and
six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company recorded increases of $23.0 million and $63.0 million, respectively to the fair value of these leveraged loans. The fair value increases were primarily attributable to a tightening of estimated
credit spreads as evidenced by comparable market leveraged loan data. The warehouse facility that provides short-term financing for approximately $143.3 million of par value of leveraged loans matured in May 2009 and, as previously disclosed, is
currently in default. The Company expects that the warehouse lender will liquidate all of the $143.3 million of par value of leveraged loans during the third quarter of 2009. As a result of the liquidation of the collateral, the Company will likely
lose the first loss cash that is deposited with the warehouse lender in the amount of $38.5 million, which is the maximum amount of loss that the Company is exposed to from the warehouse facility. </FONT></P>  <P

collateralize a warehouse facility for leveraged loans. Upon the expected liquidation of the leveraged loans included in the warehouse facility, we will likely lose the first loss cash that we had deposited with the warehouse lender. In addition,
our inability to maintain compliance with the over-collateralization requirements of our CDO and CLO financing arrangements can materially adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders for

six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, we have been and may continue to be impacted by significant changes in interest rates that occur during relatively short periods of time. The quarterly or monthly interest rate reset date on a portion of our
consolidated TruPS and MBS assets is not the same as the quarterly or monthly interest rate reset date on a portion of our liabilities, which is typically a five to ten day period. As a result of the interest rate reset date timing difference and
significant interest rate changes during short periods of time during 2008 and 2009, our net investment income has been significantly impacted. Consequently, changes in interest rates, particularly short-term interest rates, may significantly
influence our net income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, we had a $865.2 million residential mortgage portfolio, which was heavily concentrated
in 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 hybrid adjustable rate mortgages that bear fixed interest rates for an initial period and thereafter bear floating interest rates. Our investments in TruPS and subordinated debentures are primarily held by our consolidated CDO
entities. These securities bear fixed and floating interest rates. A large portion of our fixed-rate securities are hybrid instruments, which convert to floating rate securities after a five, seven or ten-year fixed-rate period. We have financed
these securities through the issuance of floating rate and fixed-rate CDO notes payable. A large portion of the CDO notes payable are floating rate instruments, and we use interest rate swaps to effectively convert this floating rate debt into
fixed-rate debt during the period in which our investments in securities are paid at a fixed rate. Our investments in MBS are financed with CDO notes payable that bear a floating interest rate and a portion of our collateral securities pay a fixed
rate, and we use interest rate swaps to effectively convert this floating rate debt into fixed-rate debt. By using this hedging strategy, we believe we have mitigated a significant amount of interest rate volatility risk during the fixed-rate period
of our investments in securities. A simultaneous increase or decrease in interest rates will generally not impact the net investment income generated by our investments in securities, except for the interest rate reset date timing difference
described above. Therefore, our net investment income will be subject to an increase or decrease in the event there is a fluctuation in interest rates between the period which the assets and liabilities reprice (typically a five to ten day period).
However, an increase or decrease in interest rates will affect the fair value of our investments in securities, which will generally be reflected in our financial statements as changes in fair value of investments in debt securities and loans and
non-recourse indebtedness. See &#147;Risk Factors &#151;Risks Relating to the Business of AFN as a Result of the Business Combination &#151; Risks Related to Principal Investing&nbsp;&#151; AFN&#146;s hedging transactions may not completely insulate

interests). For the three and six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, net income from consolidated VIEs included in the Company&#146;s net income attributable to common stockholders was $376.5 million and $346.2 million, respectively. As of
June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company estimates that the fair value of the Company&#146;s investments in the preference shares and subordinated interests of consolidated VIEs is approximately $3.3 million. For the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30,

obtains an explicit or implicit interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is a VIE, and, if so, whether or not the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE in accordance with FIN
No.&nbsp;46(R). The Company consolidates VIEs of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or non-VIEs which the Company controls. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the variable interest holder that absorbs the majority of the
variability in the expected losses or potentially the residual returns of the VIE. When determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers its aggregate explicit and implicit variable interests as a single variable interest. If the
Company&#146;s variable interest absorbs the majority of the variability in the expected losses or the residual returns of the VIE, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company reconsiders its determination of whether an
entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE if certain events occur. If the Company determines that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the deconsolidation of the VIE is accounted for as a sale of the
entity for no proceeds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has determined that certain special purpose trusts formed by third party issuers of TruPS to
issue such securities are VIEs, or Trust VIEs, and that the holder of the majority of the TruPS issued by the Trust VIEs would be the primary beneficiary of the special purpose trust. In most instances, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the
Trust VIEs because it holds, either explicitly or implicitly, the majority of the TruPS issued by the Trust VIEs. The acquisition of TruPS issued by Trust VIEs may be initially financed directly by CDOs, through on-balance sheet warehouse facilities
or through off-balance sheet warehouse facilities. Under the TruPS-related off-balance sheet warehouse agreements, the Company usually deposits cash collateral with an investment bank and bears the first dollar risk of loss, up to the Company&#146;s
collateral deposit, if an investment held under the warehouse facility is liquidated at a loss. This arrangement causes the Company to hold an implicit interest in the Trust VIEs that issued TruPS held by warehouse providers. The primary assets of
the Trust VIEs are subordinated debentures issued by third party sponsors of the Trust VIEs in exchange for the TruPS proceeds and the common equity securities of the Trust VIE. These subordinated debentures have terms that mirror the TruPS issued
by the Trust VIEs. Upon consolidation of the Trust VIEs, these subordinated debentures, which are assets of the Trust VIE, are included in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements and the related TruPS are eliminated. Pursuant to
Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, No.&nbsp;85-1: <I>Classifying Notes Received for Capital Stock</I>, subordinated debentures issued to Trust VIEs as payment for common equity securities issued by Trust VIEs to third party sponsors are recorded
net of the common equity securities issued. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Fair Value of Financial Instruments </I></B></FONT></P> <P

No.&nbsp;157, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a three-level fair value hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of information used to determine fair value, and requires new disclosures of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. SFAS No.&nbsp;157 also defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market

based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company&#146;s estimates about what assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument developed based

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Financial instruments utilizing Level 3 inputs generally include investments in TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables, certain MBS, leveraged

based on observable market prices or inputs or derived from such prices or inputs, provided that such information is available. When quoted market prices are not available because certain financial instruments do not actively trade in the public
markets, fair value is based on comparisons to similar instruments or from internal valuation models. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The availability of observable
inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of financial instrument, its age, whether the financial instrument is traded on an active exchange or in the
secondary market, the current market conditions, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. 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 the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. 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 or liability. </FONT></P>  <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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, the Company&#146;s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the
measurement date. The Company uses 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 ability to observe prices and inputs may be
reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 3. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Many financial instruments have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the
Company and others are willing to accept for an asset. For financial instruments whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices, the Company does not require that fair value always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. The Company&#146;s policy
is to allow for mid-market pricing and adjusting to the point within the bid-ask range that results in the Company&#146;s best estimate of fair value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fair value for certain of the Company&#146;s 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 contract, specific issuer information and other market data for securities without an active market. In accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;157, the impact of the Company&#146;s own
credit and creditworthiness of consolidated CDOs is also considered when measuring the fair value of 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 upon observable inputs where available. Management&#146;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&#146;s assumptions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

investment securities generally do not trade in an active market and, therefore observable price quotations are not available. Fair value is determined based on prices of comparable debt securities, or discounted cash flow models using current

Liabilities</I>, or SFAS No.&nbsp;159. SFAS No.&nbsp;159 provides entities with an irrevocable option to report most financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be
applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis. SFAS No.&nbsp;159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities, and became effective for the Company on January&nbsp;1, 2008. The Company elected to apply the fair value option for its investments in TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables, MBS, TruPS CDO notes payable, MBS CDO notes payable,
and TruPS obligations. The Company elected the fair value option for these instruments to enhance the transparency of its financial condition. The transition adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit that was recorded as of January&nbsp;1, 2008
due to the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;159 was an increase to retained earnings of $1.1 billion. The following table presents information about the eligible instruments for which the Company elected the fair value option and for which transition

January&nbsp;1, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, <I>Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment
Transactions Are Participating Securities</I>, or FSP EITF 03-6-1. FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the
earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No.&nbsp;128, <I>Earnings per Share</I>. Under the guidance in FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable
rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of January&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 and all prior-period earnings per share presented was adjusted retrospectively. The effect of
adoption had no material impact to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, and reduced basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.08 for both the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009. </FONT></P>  <P

Entity&#146;s Own Stock</I>, or EITF No.&nbsp;07-5. EITF No.&nbsp;07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity&#146;s own stock. EITF No.&nbsp;07-5 applies to any
freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all of the characteristics of a derivative or freestanding instrument that is potentially settled in an entity&#146;s own stock (with the exception of share-based payment awards within
the scope of SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R)). To meet the definition of &#147;indexed to own stock,&#148; an instrument&#146;s contingent exercise provisions must not be based on (a)&nbsp;an observable market, other than the market for the issuer&#146;s stock
(if applicable), or (b)&nbsp;an observable index, other than an index calculated or measured solely by reference to the issuer&#146;s own operations, and the variables that could affect the settlement amount must be inputs to the fair value of a
&#147;fixed-for-fixed&#148; forward or option on equity shares. EITF No.&nbsp;07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of EITF No.&nbsp;07-5 did not have a

the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly</I>, or FSP FAS 157-4. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with
FASB Statement No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements</I>, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction
is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement
remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date
under current market conditions. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June&nbsp;15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March&nbsp;15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP FAS 157-4 in the second
quarter of 2009 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

issued) but requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events were evaluated when determining whether adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements is required. SFAS No. 165 was effective for us for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2009. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, we evaluated subsequent events through August 17, 2009 and provided the appropriate disclosures on any subsequent events identified. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a

significantly impact the entity&#146;s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant
to the VIE. Ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is required. SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE. SFAS

included in the Codification. After the effective date of SFAS 168, all nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is superseded and deemed nonauthoritative. SFAS 168 will be effective for financial statements

  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>TruPS Portfolio.</B> During the three and six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company
has recorded gains of $532.6 million and $316.4 million relating to changes in fair value of its investments in TruPS. The Company determined that these changes in fair value primarily resulted from tightening of credit spreads, volatility in
interest rates, and other qualitative factors relating to macro-credit conditions. During the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, the estimated fair value of our TruPS debt securities portfolio increased by approximately 40%, net of
decreases in the estimated fair value of newly deferring or defaulted securities. This significant increase in the estimated fair value of TruPS debt securities is consistent with the significant increase in the equity markets, specifically the
financial services industry, corporate bond markets, and high-yield debt markets during the second quarter of 2009. The fair value of investments in TruPS is estimated using internal valuation models. These investment securities generally do not
trade in an active market and, therefore observable price quotations are not available. In the absence of observable price quotations, fair value is determined based on prices of comparable debt securities, or discounted cash flow models using
current interest rates, estimates of the term of the particular contract, specific issuer information, including estimates of comparable market credit spreads and other market data. These assets are classified as Level 3 assets pursuant to SFAS 157.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The portfolio consists of approximately 75% bank related investments and 25% insurance related investments. The terms of each of our
long-term CDO financings include limitations on specific issuer concentrations, which typically limit the par value of the underlying collateral securities included in the CDO from any single issuer to no greater than 3%. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009,
we had three issuers with concentrations ranging from 2.4% to 2.5% of our total TruPS investment portfolio par value, which includes the defaulted investment securities of IndyMac Bancorp, and no other issuers were greater than 1.7% of our total
TruPS investment portfolio. Additionally, the banks included in our TruPS investment portfolio (excluding defaulted securities) are concentrated in the following states as of June&nbsp;30, 2009: </FONT></P>  <P

as a result of an increase in credit risk related to specific borrowers, continued deterioration in macro-credit conditions and the potential impact to the middle-market companies in our portfolio. As of June 30, 2009, our leveraged loan portfolio
has experienced seven defaults in an aggregate principal amount of $18.9 million. The current state of the credit markets and the economy in general increases the likelihood of defaults and ratings agency downgrades on the underlying collateral of
our CLOs. There can be no assurance that in light of the current markets that we will not experience additional significant defaults or downgrade activity in our leveraged loan portfolio that may result in the failure of over-collateralization

$91.6 million relating to these residential mortgage loans. As a result of the on-going disruption in the housing market and the downturn in the overall economy, we have recorded significant losses on our residential mortgage loan portfolio,
including the loans held directly by us and through our subordinated interests in a securitization trust collateralized by residential mortgage loans. The weighted average origination date for the loans included in our portfolio was July 2006 and
the weighted average FICO of our borrowers at origination was 723. The majority of our loans were originated at the end of a period of unprecedented real estate appreciation to borrowers that were deemed to be prime borrowers. During the past two
years, the values of the properties securing our loans have materially decreased and the credit quality of our average borrower has also materially decreased. We expect to record further losses on our residential mortgage loan portfolio as a result
of the continuing increase in the unemployment rate, continued home price depreciation, lack of refinancing options for many borrowers and continued deterioration in the general macro economic conditions. </FONT></P>  <P

three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 from $137.5 million for the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. The decrease in investment interest income is primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR and an increase in deferring and non-accrual
balances. We experienced a decrease in the weighted-average coupon rates in our target asset classes from 5.0% for the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 to 3.6% for the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 and a decrease in the

million to $49.7 million for the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 from $7.9 million for the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. The increase is a result of the continued increases in the number of delinquent residential mortgage
loans experienced in 2009 as a result of the turmoil in the housing markets. The 60-plus day delinquencies in our residential mortgage portfolio increased from 7.2% as of June&nbsp;30, 2008 to 25.7% as of June&nbsp;30, 2009. Additionally, the
increase in our leveraged loan provisioning is primarily the result of continued deterioration in macro-credit conditions and the resulting impact to the middle-market companies that we lend to. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, our leveraged loan portfolio
has experienced seven defaults in an aggregate principal amount of $18.9 million. We maintain an allowance for residential and commercial mortgages and leveraged loan losses based on management&#146;s evaluation of estimated losses and inherent
risks in the portfolios. Specific allowances for losses are established for impaired loans based on a comparison of the recorded carrying value of the loan to either the present value of the loan&#146;s expected cash flow, the loan&#146;s estimated
market price or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Expenses.</I></B> Our non-investment expenses decreased by

June&nbsp;30, 2009, the net change in fair value of investments in debt securities and loans and non-recourse indebtedness was a $540.9 million gain. The net change in fair value is comprised of approximately $573.6 million of gains recorded on our
investments in debt securities and loans, which was offset by approximately $32.7 million of losses recorded on liabilities. During the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008, the net change in fair value of financial instruments was ($132.7)

value of these interest rate swaps are recorded in earnings. The change in fair value during the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 is primarily attributable to unrealized gains on derivative contracts of $57.0 million partially offset by
net periodic interest payments of $(20.5) million. The change in fair value during the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 is attributable to a $30.9 million gain on interest rate swap contracts and a $6.2 million gain on our CDS positions.

approximately $6.2 million of unrealized gains on CDS recorded during the same period. The Company records both realized and unrealized changes in fair value on the CDS contracts within net change in fair value of derivative contracts in the
consolidated statements of income (loss). Following the June 2008 sale, the Company no longer holds any investments in CDS. </FONT></P>   <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

leveraged loans, for which losses were recorded of $2.2 million, and a $2.1 million realized loss on the sale of property included in the residential mortgage portfolio. During the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008, the Company recorded
losses on the sale of assets of approximately $1.7 million, which is attributable to the sale of on-balance sheet TruPS with a par value of $8.2 million for cash proceeds of $6.5 million. </FONT></P> <P

the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. This change is primarily attributable to the noncontrolling interest impact of the net change in fair value of financial instruments and the allocation of net investment income (loss) and other

financial instruments and net investment income generated by our investments in TruPS, leveraged loans, residential mortgages and MBS, partially offset by loan loss provisions on our residential mortgage and leveraged loan portfolio. Our net income
for the six-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 was attributable to changes in fair value of financial instruments recorded in earnings subsequent to our adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;159, reclassification into the income statement of MBS related cash

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">2009 from $15.5 million for the six-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. The increase in the residential mortgage loan component is a result of the
continued increases in the number of delinquent residential mortgage loans experienced in 2009 as a result of the turmoil in the housing markets. The 60-plus day delinquencies in our residential mortgage portfolio increased from 7.2% as of
June&nbsp;30, 2008 to 25.7% as of June&nbsp;30, 2009. Additionally, the increase in our leveraged loan provisioning is primarily the result of continued deterioration in macro-credit conditions and the resulting impact to the middle-market companies
that we lend to. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, our leveraged loan portfolio has experienced seven defaults in an aggregate principal amount of $18.9 million. We maintain an allowance for residential and commercial mortgages and leveraged loan losses
based on management&#146;s evaluation of estimated losses and inherent risks in the portfolios. Specific allowances for losses are established for impaired loans based on a comparison of the recorded carrying value of the loan to either the present
value of the loan&#146;s expected cash flow, the loan&#146;s estimated market price or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

these non-investment expenses consisted of related party management compensation of $6.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively, and general and administrative expenses of $8.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively. During the six-months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in base management fees and $0 and $0.9 million, respectively, of incentive fees. During the six-months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 and 2008, the aggregate
base management fees and incentive fees payable were reduced by collateral management fee credits of $0.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to shares of restricted common stock

collateral management services that Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company provides for CDOs. The decrease in related party management compensation is attributable to the decrease in CDO collateral management fees resulting from the defaulted and deferring TruPS

derivative contracts of $70.4 million partially offset by net periodic interest payments on interest rate swaps of ($38.7) million. The change in fair value during the six-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 is attributable to a $62.9 million loss

provision for loan losses increased by $44.9 million, to $61.1 million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 from $16.2 million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The increase is primarily a result of the continued increases in the
number of delinquent residential mortgage loans experienced in 2008 as a result of the turmoil in the housing markets. The 60-plus day delinquencies in our residential mortgage portfolio increased from 3.9% as of December&nbsp;31, 2007 to 14.8% as
of December&nbsp;31, 2008. Additionally, the increase in our leveraged loan provisioning is primarily the result of continued deterioration in macro-credit conditions and the resulting impact to the middle-market companies that we lend to. We
maintain an allowance for residential and commercial mortgages and leveraged loan losses based on management&#146;s evaluation of estimated losses and inherent risks in the portfolios. Specific allowances for losses are established for impaired
loans based on a comparison of the recorded carrying value of the loan to either the present value of the loan&#146;s expected cash flow, the loan&#146;s estimated market price or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. </FONT></P> <P

$29.2 million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. During the same periods, these non-investment expenses consisted of related party management compensation of $19.6 million and $17.3 million, respectively, and general and administrative
expenses of $14.6 million and $11.9 million, respectively. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred base and incentive management fees, net of asset management fee credits, of $2.7 million and $0, respectively. The
$2.7 million of net fees earned by the manager were primarily the result of the $43.9 million gain on extinguishment of debt recorded during the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense
related to shares of restricted common stock granted to the officers of the Company and key employees of the manager and Cohen of $0.9 million and $1.8 million during the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. </FONT></P> <P

services that Cohen provides for CDOs. The increase in related party management compensation is primarily attributable to the increase in investments financed through CDO transactions and the collateral manager fees incurred by these consolidated
CDO entities, partially offset by the decrease in CDO collateral manager fees resulting from the $551.0 million of defaulted and deferring TruPS CDO collateral. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

cash deposits with financial institutions and interest earned on restricted cash of our consolidated CDO entities. The average total unrestricted and restricted cash balance decreased from $359.0 million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 to
$175.6 million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, while the average interest rate earned on cash decreased from 5.2% to 2.2% over the same period. Additionally, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company received a one-time

our interest rate swaps and therefore all changes in fair value of these interest rate swaps are recorded in earnings. The change in fair value during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 is primarily attributable to a $257.5 million loss on

2007, the Company entered into a warehouse risk-sharing agreement with a third party investment bank for short term investment purposes. The warehouse risk-sharing agreement terminated during the period as a result of the transfer of accumulated
warehoused ABS to a CDO that was structured by Cohen and its affiliates. The Company did not purchase an interest in the CDO transaction, although in consideration of the benefits that Cohen and its affiliates received upon the closing of the ABS
CDO, Cohen paid a one-time capital commitment fee of $1.2 million to the Company for its services as first loss provider during the warehouse period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

December&nbsp;31, 2007, we purchased CDS contracts that are referenced to certain MBS and CDOs that are trading in the public markets. To date, we hold $95.9 million notional amount of CDS contracts. The risk management objective of the CDS
contracts is to potentially offset losses on MBS held in our consolidated CDO entities. Under the terms of the CDS, we agree to make periodic payments, usually ratably over the swap term, in exchange for the agreement by the other counterparty to
pay an agreed upon value for a debt instrument of a specified issuer, should the issuer enter into an event of default as defined in each particular CDS contract during the swap term. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company

gains on freestanding derivatives relating to our interests in other off-balance sheet warehouses during the year. During 2006, free-standing derivative income of $2.1 million was generated by the difference between the interest earned on the

that are primarily collateralized by MBS. The Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments primarily because of significant increases in the estimated cumulative default rates of the underlying collateral of the respective MBS, which resulted
in significant decreases to the Company&#146;s estimates of the future cash flows of the respective MBS. During the twelve-months ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, we also recorded an $18.1 million other-than-temporary impairment of certain assets
underlying our TruPS portfolio. The other-than-temporary impairments relate to two banks that deferred on their interest payments during the period. Although the TruPS allow for deferral of interest, we recorded other-than-temporary impairments due
to the deterioration of the banks&#146; financial condition. Other-than-temporary impairments are recorded within impairment on investments in the consolidated statement of income/(loss). </FONT></P> <P

consolidated VIE. The first-loss deposit related to a TruPS warehouse arrangement that the Company entered into during the first quarter of 2007. The Company contributed the first-loss deposit amount to a special purpose entity or VIE that in turn
pledged the cash to an investment bank in connection with the warehouse arrangement. The VIE received notice that on September&nbsp;29, 2007 it was in default on the terms of the warehouse arrangement and that the VIE and the Company no longer had
decision making rights with respect to the exit strategy of the assets accumulated in the warehouse. The stated maturity date of the warehouse agreement was September&nbsp;29, 2007. As of September&nbsp;29, 2007, the Company has deconsolidated this
VIE from its consolidated financial statements because the Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company accounted for the deconsolidation of the VIE as a sale of the net assets of the entity and recorded a $10.3 million gain
on disposition of a consolidated investment. Additionally, upon determining that the deconsolidation of the assets of the VIE will be accounted for as a sale, the Company recognized an $11.2 million realized loss on the disposition of TruPS assets
included in the VIE. The net cash and economic impact of this transaction was the loss of $2.7 million which includes the first-loss deposit and accrued but unpaid interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

subject to suspension and delisting by the NYSE. However, on February&nbsp;26, 2009, the NYSE granted NYSE-listed companies a reprieve from the NYSE&#146;s $1 minimum price requirement until June&nbsp;30, 2009 which reprieve was subsequently
extended for an additional month through July 31, 2009.&nbsp;In addition, the NYSE permanently decreased its market-capitalization standard to $15 million for listed companies, which previously required that average market capitalization of a

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">From our inception through the beginning of the credit crisis in August 2007, we sought to finance our assets on a long-term basis through CDOs and CLOs. The disruption in the credit markets has substantially
forestalled our ability to execute new CDOs and CLOs. If the securitization markets re-open in the future, the costs of securitizing assets may be higher than what we experienced in the past. Increased securitization costs may cause us to realize
lower returns on our equity for investments in future CDOs as compared with the returns that we have realized to date on completed CDOs that have lower financing costs. If securitization costs become unacceptably high, or if securitization financing
remains unavailable, we may not be willing or able to complete a securitization for assets that have been purchased using short-term warehouse lines. In that event, we may potentially lose the first loss cash that we had deposited with the warehouse
lender. If we are unable to deploy our capital in high-yielding CDO investments quickly or at all, we would need to find alternative investments which may be lower yielding. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

other securitization vehicles that we use to finance our investments generally provide that the principal amount of assets must exceed the principal balance of the related securities to be issued by the securitization vehicle by a certain amount,
commonly referred to as &#147;over-collateralization.&#148; The terms of the securitization generally provide that, if certain delinquencies and/or losses exceed the specified levels based on the analysis by the rating agencies (or any financial
guaranty insurer) of the characteristics of the assets collateralizing the securitization vehicle securities, the required level of over-collateralization may be increased or may be prevented from decreasing as would otherwise be permitted if losses
or delinquencies did not exceed those levels. Other tests, based on delinquency levels or other criteria including downgrades by the rating agencies of the underlying portfolio securities of the securitization vehicle, may restrict our ability to
receive cash distributions from assets collateralizing the securitization vehicle securities. The performance tests may not be satisfied. In addition, collateral management agreements typically provide that if certain over-collateralization ratio
tests are failed and an event of default occurs, the collateral management agreement may be terminated by a vote of the security holders and the security holders have the option to liquidate the underlying collateral securities. If the assets held
by a securitization vehicle fail to perform as anticipated, our liquidity may be adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following summarizes certain key

written notice from the trustees of Kleros Real Estate I, II and IV that each CDO experienced an event of default. These events of default resulted from the failure of certain additional over-collateralization tests primarily due to credit rating
agency downgrades. The events of default provide the controlling class debtholder in each CDO with the option to liquidate all of the MBS assets collateralizing the particular CDO. The proceeds of any such liquidation will be used to repay the

which we own all of the subordinated notes including an interest-only subordinated note. When principal and interest are collected from the underlying residential mortgage loans, such cash flow is distributed sequentially to the senior notes, then
to the interest-only subordinated note, and finally to the remainder of the subordinated notes. Losses are allocated to the notes in reverse sequential order such that losses are borne by subordinated notes ahead of the senior notes. Significant
losses have been realized on the subordinated notes to date and are expected to continue. The two most subordinated classes of notes owned by the Company have already been reduced to zero as a result of such allocation of losses. These losses are
attributable to an increase in the delinquency rate of the underlying pool of mortgage loans since the closing date of the securitization, which has also caused a reduction in the amount of principal and interest that is collected from the mortgage
loans. To the extent such collections continue to decrease, there may not be sufficient cash flow to pay any principal and interest to the subordinated notes until the senior noteholders have been paid in full. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

requirements in the TruPS CDOs are typically triggered in the event that more than three percent of the par value of collateral securities that collateralize the CDO debt defer on a principal or interest payment or are otherwise determined to be
defaulted in accordance with the indenture for the particular CDO. As of June 30, 2009, we have experienced 63 bank deferrals or defaults and one insurance company default in our TruPS portfolio. As of June 30, 2009, the aggregate principal amount
of investments in the 64 TruPS that have defaulted or are currently deferring interest payments is $1.1 billion, representing approximately 20.6% of the Company&#146;s consolidated TruPS portfolio. The TruPS deferrals and defaults described above
have resulted in the over-collateralization tests being triggered in all eight CDOs in which the Company holds equity interests. The trigger of an over-collateralization test in a TruPS CDO means that the Company, as a holder of equity securities,
will no longer receive current distributions of cash in respect of its equity interests until sufficient cash or collateral is retained in the CDOs to cure the over-collateralization tests. The Company does not expect to receive cash distributions
from its TruPS CDOs for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that we will not experience additional deferrals or defaults that will result in further over-collateralization test failures or be able to extend the cure periods of the
deals currently failing over-collateralization tests. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

significant losses on the sale of assets below par, as well as unrealized fair value adjustments on certain assets as mandated by the indentures which govern our leveraged loan CLOs. The primary cause for such fair value adjustments are default
activity, and credit downgrades in the underlying asset pool. In the event that an over-collateralization failure occurs in a leveraged loan CLO, changes to the priority of payments will result in the equity holders, including us, of the CLO not
receiving any cash flows until such time as the over-collateralization failure is cured. Management continues to closely monitor and actively manage the leveraged loan portfolio as a result of the continued deterioration in macro-credit conditions
and the potential for significant stress on the middle-market companies in our portfolio. Subsequent to June&nbsp;30, 2009, we experienced an interest diversion test failure in Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd. The failure was primarily
attributable to an increase in defaulted assets collateralizing the CLO. As a result of the interest diversion test failure in Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd., the Company did not receive any of its quarterly distribution in July 2009, and
assuming no additional defaults or significant credit downgrades the Company does not expect to receive its quarterly cash distribution for several quarters. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

million of warehouse credit facility debt in the form of short term notes payable. Warehouse credit facility debt relates to an on-balance sheet warehouse facility entered into by a subsidiary of the Company with the intention of financing the
acquisition of leveraged loans on a short-term basis until longer-term financing is available. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has invested $38.5 million of capital in this financing arrangement, which contractually matured in May 2009. As
previously disclosed, the warehouse is currently in default and therefore, there is no borrowing capacity, the facility is bearing a penalty interest rate equal to the daily commercial paper rate plus 300 basis points, and all principal and interest
collections are used to amortize the warehouse credit facility debt. The Company expects that the warehouse lender will liquidate all of the $143.3 million of par value of leveraged loans during the third quarter of 2009. As a result of the
liquidation of the collateral, the Company will likely lose the first loss cash that is deposited with the warehouse lender in the amount of $38.5 million, which is the maximum amount of loss that the Company is exposed to from the warehouse
facility. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="toc44913_107"></A>Contractual Commitments </B></FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For certain of the financial instruments that we own, fair values will not be readily available since there are no active trading markets for these instruments as characterized by currency exchanges between willing
parties. Accordingly, fair values can only be derived or estimated for these investments using various valuation techniques, such as pricing of comparable financial instruments computing the present value of estimated future cash flows using
discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. However, the determination of estimated future cash flows is inherently subjective and imprecise. Minor changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these
derived or estimated fair values. These estimates and assumptions are indicative of the interest rate environments as of June&nbsp;30, 2009 and do not take into consideration the effects of subsequent interest rate fluctuations. </FONT></P>  <P

interest rates, interest rate spreads, credit spreads and other market factors. The value of these investments can vary materially from period to period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

</A>Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Commitments </B></FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We may maintain arrangements with various investment banks regarding CDO
securitizations and off-balance sheet warehouse facilities. Prior to the completion of a CDO securitization, historically our off-balance sheet warehouse providers have acquired investments in accordance with the terms of the warehouse facility
agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the warehouse agreements, we receive all or a portion of the difference between the interest earned on the investments acquired under the warehouse facilities and the interest accrued on the warehouse facilities
from the date of the respective acquisitions. Under the warehouse agreements, we are required to deposit cash collateral with the warehouse providers, and as a result, we bear the first dollar risk of loss up to our warehouse deposit if an
investment held under the warehouse facility is liquidated at a loss. Upon the completion of a CDO securitization, the cash collateral held by the warehouse provider is returned to us. In the event that we are unable to obtain long-term CDO
financing for the accumulated warehouse collateral, our cash collateral is at risk and may not be returned to the Company. The duration of a warehouse facility is generally at least nine months. These arrangements are deemed to be derivative
financial instruments and are recorded by us at fair value in each accounting period with the change in fair value recorded in earnings. We were not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2009. </FONT></P>  <P

Tract, LLC, and Triad Apartment Group, LLC in the original principal amount of $16.7 million, or the Penland Loan, matured. The outstanding balance at maturity was $11.8 million. The Penland Loan was guaranteed by five individuals, Anthony R.
Porter, Dorothy M. Porter, Frank A. Amelung, Eugenia Amelung and Richard L. Amelung, which are collectively referred to as the Guarantors. On March&nbsp;29, 2007, we obtained a judgment against the Guarantors for $13.1 million in the case styled
Alesco Financial Inc. v. Anthony R. Porter, Dorothy M. Porter, Frank Amelung, Eugenia Amelung and Richard Amelung, in the United States District Court in the Middle District of Florida, Case No.: 3:07-cv-00032-HWM-HTS, or the Judgment. Frank A.
Amelung, Eugenia Amelung and Richard L. Amelung sought protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division, In Re: Frank A. Amelung, Jr. and Eugenia Marie Amelung, Chapter 7 Debtors, Case
No.: 07-15492-BKC-PGH, and In Re: Richard L. Amelung, Debtor Chapter 7, Case No.: 07-15493-BKC-PGH, respectively. We have made a claim in both cases for the amount of the Judgment, reduced as the Penland Loan otherwise is collected. At least two
parties, including the trustee in each case, have filed pleadings objecting to the discharge of Frank A. Amelung and Richard L. Amelung. The ability to collect a material amount of the Judgment in the bankruptcy proceedings is slight, and we do not
believe the other Guarantors have significant assets for levy. We retain our primary collateral consisting of real property in the mountains of North Carolina. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Attorney General of North Carolina on June&nbsp;6, 2007, filed suit against one or more of the borrowers and Guarantors of the Penland Loan described above, among others, in the case styled State of North Carolina
ex rel, Roy Cooper, Attorney General vs. Peerless Real Estate Services, Inc., Village of Penland, L.L.C., MFSL Landholdings, L.L.C., Communities of Penland, L.L.C., COP Land Holdings, L.L.C., PG Capital Holdings, L.L.C., Anthony Porter, Frank
Amelung, Richard Amelung, J. Kevin Foster, Neil O&#146;Rourke, Michael Yeomans, and A. Greg Anderson, General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, State of North Carolina, Wake County, Case No.: 07-CVS-9006. The North Carolina Attorney General
alleged that the defendants in the case obtained monies from consumers in violation of North Carolina law relating to unfair or deceptive practices affecting commerce. The court in this case has issued an order appointing a receiver for the assets
of the corporate defendants in the case, Peerless Real Estate Services, Inc., Village of Penland, L.L.C., MFSL Landholdings, L.L.C., Communities of Penland, L.L.C., COP Land Holdings, L.L.C., and PG Capital Holdings, L.L.C., and has since added the
rest of our borrowers not originally named as defendants for receivership. We are not a named party in this action, but the receivership includes substantially all of the North Carolina real property collateral held by us to secure the Penland Loan.
The complaint filed by the North Carolina Attorney General seeks to void all contracts between the named defendants and consumers in the alleged deceptive scheme identified in the complaint, the return of all monies obtained by the named defendants
in the alleged deceptive scheme, civil penalties against the named defendants and attorney fees from the named defendants. The Order Appointing Receiver purports to authorize the receiver, among other things, to sell and dispose of property of the
borrowers in the receivership free and clear of all liens and other collateral interests, which liens or other collateral interests will then attach to the proceeds. We have not received notice of any such sale or disposition of our collateral, and
we plan to protect vigorously any and all liens and other collateral interests in the collateral for the Penland Loan. In the pleadings in this case, we have learned that two of the Guarantors and other officers of our borrowers have pled guilty to
one or more felony counts relating to fraud involving the sale of real property in and around our remaining collateral in North Carolina and that the receiver also has been appointed special master in the restitution proceedings in the criminal
cases. We intend to continue to foreclose some or all our collateral, which may require this court&#146;s approval, and pursue collection by all other available means. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The credit markets in the United States began suffering significant disruption in the summer of 2007. This disruption began in the subprime residential mortgage sector and extended to the broader credit and financial
markets generally. During the third quarter of 2008, it became clear that the global economy had been adversely impacted by the credit crisis. Available liquidity, particularly through asset-backed securities (ABS) CDOs and other securitizations,
declined precipitously during the second half of 2007, continued to decline in 2008 and remains depressed as of the date of this filing. Concerns about the capital adequacy of financial services companies, disruptions in global credit markets,
volatility in commodities prices and continued pricing declines in the U.S. housing market have led to further disruptions in the financial markets, adversely affected regional banks and have exacerbated the longevity and severity of the credit
crisis. The disruption in these markets directly impacts our business because our investment portfolio includes investments in MBS, residential mortgages, leveraged loans and bank and insurance company debt. We have historically financed our
investments with on and off-balance sheet warehouse facilities and on-balance sheet CDOs and CLOs. We continue to have exposure to these markets and products and as market conditions continue to worsen the fair value of our investments could further
deteriorate. In addition, market volatility, illiquid market conditions and disruptions in the credit markets have made it extremely difficult to value certain of our securities. Subsequent valuations, in light of factors then prevailing, may result
in significant changes in the values of these securities in future periods. Any of these factors could require us to take further writedowns in the fair value of our investments portfolio, which may have an adverse effect on our results of
operations in future periods. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The disruption in the credit markets has severely restricted our ability to complete new CDOs and CLOs. In
addition, banks are capital constrained and this severely limits their ability to provide new financing commitments. We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future until markets stabilize, credit concerns dissipate and capital
becomes less constrained. We are fortunate that the substantial portion of our portfolio is financed with in-place, long-term financing. However, as of June 30, 2009, we had $38.5 million of cash deposited with a warehouse lender to collateralize a
warehouse facility for leveraged loan assets. Upon the expected liquidation of the collateral in the warehouse, we will likely lose the first loss cash that we had deposited with the warehouse lender in the amount of $38.5 million. </FONT></P>

affected by economic, geopolitical, monetary and fiscal policy, market supply and demand and other factors generally outside our control, and such factors may be highly volatile. Our interest rate risk sensitive assets and liabilities and financial
derivatives typically will be held for long-term investment and not held for sale purposes. Our intent in structuring CDO and CLO transactions and other securitizations will be to limit interest rate risk with a financing strategy that matches the
terms of our investment assets with the terms of our liabilities and, to the extent necessary, through the use of hedging instruments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We
generally make investments that are either floating rate or fixed rate. Our floating rate investments will generally be priced at a fixed spread over an index such as LIBOR that reprices either quarterly or every 30 days based upon movements in
effect at each measurement date. Given the frequency of future price changes in our floating rate investments, changes in interest rates are not expected to have a long term material effect on the value of these investments. Our net investment
income will be subject to an increase or decrease in the event that there is a fluctuation in interest rates between the period which the assets and liabilities reprice (typically a five to ten day period). Increases or decreases in LIBOR will have
a corresponding increase or decrease in our interest income and interest expense, thereby generally mitigating the net earnings impact on our overall portfolio. In the event that long-term interest rates increase, the value of our fixed-rate
investments would be diminished. We have hedged this risk where the benefit outweighs the cost of the hedging strategy. Such changes in interest rates would not have a material effect on the income of these investments, which generally will be held
to maturity. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Through June 30, 2009, we entered into various interest rate swap agreements to hedge variable cash flows associated with

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">on, a market opportunity arose for participation in a particular segment of the debt market, securitization of TruPS. We began assisting small banks in the
issuance of TruPS through securitized pools. These investment vehicles were structured and underwritten by large investment banks while our broker dealer typically participated as a co-placement agent or selling group member. We also participated in
the secondary market trading of these securities between institutional clients. For the better part of a decade, we have actively engaged in the brokering of TruPS and pooled TruPS in the secondary market. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There has been essentially no new issuance of pooled TruPS since early 2007 because the credit market disruption has resulted in market yields that are
much higher than the banks would be willing to pay to issue securities into an investment vehicle. However, while new issuance has been dormant, the secondary trading volumes have increased dramatically. A large number of entities are motivated or
being forced to sell their holdings. Reasons for this selling include margin calls on financed assets, hedge fund redemptions, warehouse liquidations and investment vehicles breaching covenants and liquidating. At the same time, investors who had
historically invested in the initial issuance of these securities have not been as active in the market. While the exact timing of the successive waves of de-leveraging and liquidations that are likely to occur cannot be known, the credit losses
that will in many cases ultimately force these outcomes are already in the pipeline. We recognized that the conditions that have caused increased secondary trading opportunities in the TruPS market also existed in other credit-based fixed income
markets. High grade corporate bonds, RMBS, CMBS, European credit securities and levered finance securities (high yield bonds and leveraged loans) all face similar conditions. </FONT></P>  <P

our core competency in structured credit. Our Capital Markets staffing increased from six sales and trading professionals at the beginning of 2008 to 42 sales and trading professionals as of August 5, 2009. </FONT></P> <P

securities that we retained in our sponsored investment vehicles are recorded in our Principal Investing business segment. Riskless trades are transacted with a customer order in hand, resulting in virtually no risk to us. Market conditions have
allowed us to focus on riskless trades of securitized financial products beginning in 2007, through 2008 and in 2009. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, our riskless principal trading revenue was $22.9 million, an increase of 228% over
the prior year period. In the same period, our volume of risk-based trading activity has declined due to lower amounts of committed capital and limited competitive pressure to commit capital. </FONT></P>  <P

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A collateralized debt obligation is a form of secured borrowing.&nbsp;The borrowing is&nbsp;secured&nbsp;by different types of fixed income assets such as
corporate or mortgage loans or bonds. The borrowing is in the form of a securitization, which means that the lenders are actually investing in notes backed by the assets. The lender will have recourse only to the assets securing the loan. We have
originated assets for, served as co-placement agent for and continue to manage this type of investment vehicle, which is generally structured as a trust. In addition, from time to time, we invested in some of the debt and equity securities initially
issued in the deals, gains and losses of which are part of our Principal Investing business segment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The current credit crisis has caused
available liquidity, particularly through these and other securitizations, to decline precipitously. Our ability to accumulate assets for securitization effectively ended with the market disruption. We securitized $14.8 billion of assets in 16
trusts during 2006; $17.8 billion of assets in 16 trusts during 2007; and $0.4 billion of assets in one trust during 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">These
structures can hold different types of securities. Historically, we have focused on the following asset classes: (1)&nbsp;United States and European bank and insurance TruPS and insurance company subordinated debt; (2)&nbsp;United States ABS such as
MBS and commercial real estate loans; (3)&nbsp;United States corporate loans; and (4)&nbsp;United States obligations of non-profit entities. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">We generate asset management revenue for our services as asset manager. Recently, many of our sponsored collateralized debt obligations, particularly those where the assets are bank TruPS and ABS, have experienced asset deferrals, defaults
and rating agency downgrades that reduce our management fees. In 16 out of 19 of our ABS deals, the extent of the deferrals, defaults and downgrades has caused credit-related coverage tests to trigger an event of default. Under an event of default,
the senior debtholders in the structure can generally force a liquidation of the entity. To date, four of our ABS entities have been liquidated following an event of default. In addition, all of the bank TruPS entities we manage and all of the ABS
entities we manage have experienced high enough level of deferrals, defaults and downgrades to shut off our subordinated management fees. In a typical structure, any failure of covenant coverage tests redirects cash flow to paying down the senior
debt until compliance is restored. If compliance is ever restored, the entity will resume paying subordinated management fees to us, including those that would have accrued but remained unpaid during the period of non-compliance. </FONT></P> <P

between the cost of borrowing and the return profile of the underlying collateral. With our asset classes, we seek to maximize the spread differential between the yield on the underlying collateral and our cost of financing. In addition, each
portfolio is structured to maximize relative value based on our credit views and maximize diversification in order to minimize the effect of isolated credit events on the overall portfolio. Our management of the portfolio utilizes our infrastructure
to minimize defaults of underlying assets and to maximize recoveries in the case of defaults. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We sought to achieve diversification of

management fees, and there is a potential for incentive fees on certain deals if equity internal rates of return are greater than 15%. We can be removed as manager without cause if 66.7% of the rated noteholders and 66.7% of the equity holders vote
to remove us, or if 75% of the most senior noteholders vote to remove us when certain over-collateralization ratios are below 100%. We can be removed as manager for cause if a majority of the controlling class of noteholders or a majority of equity
holders vote to remove us. Cause includes unremedied violations of the collateral management agreement or indenture, defaults attributable to actions of the manager, misrepresentations or fraud, criminal activity, bankruptcy, insolvency or
dissolution. There is a no-call period for the equity holders, which ranges from three to six years. Once this no-call period is over, a majority of the equity holders can trigger an optional redemption as long as it generates sufficient proceeds to
cover all principal and accrued interest on the rated notes and all expenses. In ten years from closing, an auction call will be triggered if the rated notes have not been redeemed in full. In an auction call redemption, an appointee will conduct an
auction for the collateral, which will only be executed if the highest bid results in enough proceeds to pay all principal and accrued interest on the rated notes and all expenses. If the auction has not been successfully completed, all residual
interest that would normally be distributed to equity holders will be sequentially applied to principal of the rated notes. Any failure of over-collateralization coverage tests redirects interest to paying down notes until compliance is restored.
The securities mature 30 years from closing. An event of default will occur if certain over-collateralization ratios drop below 100%. While an event of default exists, a majority of the senior noteholders can declare the principal and accrued and
unpaid interest immediately due and payable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In general, the Xenon deal has the following terms. We receive senior and subordinate
management fees, and there is no potential for incentive fees. We cannot be removed as manager without cause. We can be removed as manager for cause if a majority of the securityholders or a majority of subordinated securityholders vote to remove
us. Cause includes unremedied violations of the portfolio management agreement or trust agreement, breach of the portfolio management agreement that is not cured within 45-60 days, misrepresentations or fraud, criminal activity, bankruptcy,
insolvency or dissolution, the occurrence of an event of default, or becoming subject to taxes that could be reduced by removing the manager. A majority of the subordinated securityholders can trigger an optional redemption as long as it generates
sufficient proceeds to cover all principal and accrued interest on the senior securities and all expenses. The securities mature in four years from closing. An event of default will occur if default occurs for a period of three days or more in the
payment of any sum due in respect of the securities, failure to perform or observe any obligation under the portfolio management agreement or trust agreement, or if any order is made by any competent court or any resolution passed for the winding-up
or dissolution of the issuer other than for the purposes of amalgamation, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other similar arrangements on terms approved by the trustee. While an event of default exists, a majority of the senior

sequentially applied to principal of the rated notes. The securities mature 40-45 years from closing. An event of default will occur if certain credit covenant ratios drop below specific levels. While an event of default exists, a majority of the
senior noteholders can declare the principal and accrued and unpaid interest immediately due and payable. Only two of our Kleros deals and one of our Libertas deals have not yet triggered an event of default. </FONT></P> <P

collateral management agreement or trust deed, breach of the collateral management agreement that is not cured within 30-60 days, misrepresentations or fraud, criminal activity, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution. There is a six year reinvestment
period after closing when the manager may sell and purchase collateral for the deal. After the last day of the reinvestment period, collateral principal collections will be applied to the notes sequentially. There is a three year no-call period for
the equity holders. Once this no-call period is over, a majority of the equity holders can trigger an optional redemption as long as it generates sufficient proceeds to cover all principal and accrued interest on the notes and all expenses. Any
failure of over-collateralization coverage tests redirects interest to paying down notes until compliance is restored. Any failure of interest diversion tests during the reinvestment period redirects interest to purchasing collateral until
compliance is restored. The maturity of the securities is 17 years from closing. An event of default will occur if certain over-collateralization ratios drop below 100%. While an event of default exists, a majority of the senior noteholders can

securities. We have built our sales and trading platform with over 36 hires and increased production in existing products while adding capabilities in new products. We have been able to take advantage of the unprecedented dislocation in the
structured finance market and plan to continue to do so. We will continue to look to hire talented sales and trading professionals to expand our capital markets business segment geographically, by asset class, and by client relationships. While we
are not optimistic about our new issue business returning in its historical form for the next few years, there are other potential near term new issue opportunities in the credit markets. Most of the immediate opportunities are a result of

believe that the principal factors affecting competition in our business include client relationships, reputation, quality and price of our products and services, market focus and the ability of our professionals. Competition is intense for the
recruitment and retention of qualified professionals. Our ability to continue to compete effectively in our business will depend upon our continued ability to retain and motivate our existing professionals and attract new professionals. In recent
years, there has been substantial consolidation and convergence among companies in the financial services industry, including among many of our former competitors. In particular, a number of large commercial banks have established or acquired
broker-dealers or have merged with other financial institutions. Many of these firms have the ability to offer a wider range of products than we offer, including loans, deposit taking and insurance. Many of these firms also have more extensive
investment banking services, which may enhance their competitive position. They also have the ability to support investment banking and securities products with commercial banking and other financial services revenue in an effort to gain market

well as state securities commissions in the United States, are empowered to conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or

broker-dealer with the SEC and each of the 50 states and is a member of and regulated by FINRA. Our broker-dealer subsidiary is subject to the regulations of FINRA and industry standards of practice that cover many aspects of its business, including
initial licensing requirements, sales and trading practices, relationships with customers (including the handling of cash and margin accounts), capital structure, capital requirements, record-keeping and reporting procedures, experience and training
requirements for certain employees, and supervision and the conduct of affiliated persons, including directors, officers and employees. FINRA has the power to expel, fine and otherwise discipline member firms and their employees for violations of
these rules and regulations. Our United States broker-dealer subsidiary is also licensed as a broker-dealer in each of the 50 states of the United States, requiring us to comply with the laws, rules and regulations of each state. Each state may

SIZE="2">The SEC, FINRA and various other regulatory agencies within and outside of the United States have stringent rules and regulations with respect to the maintenance of specific levels of net capital by regulated entities. Generally, a
broker-dealer&#146;s net capital is net worth plus qualified subordinated debt less deductions for certain types of assets. The net capital rule under the Exchange Act requires that at least a minimum part of a broker-dealer&#146;s assets be
maintained in a relatively liquid form. The SEC and FINRA impose rules that require notification when net capital falls below certain predefined criteria. These rules also dictate the ratio of debt to equity in the regulatory capital composition of
a broker-dealer and constrain the ability of a broker-dealer to expand its business under certain circumstances. If a firm fails to maintain the required net capital, it may be subject to suspension or revocation of registration by the applicable
regulatory agency, and suspension or expulsion by these regulators could ultimately lead to the firm&#146;s liquidation. Additionally, the net capital rule under the Exchange Act and certain FINRA rules impose requirements that may have the effect
of prohibiting a broker-dealer from distributing or withdrawing capital and requiring prior notice to the SEC and FINRA for certain capital withdrawals. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If these net capital rules are changed or expanded, or if there is an unusually large charge against our net capital, our operations that require the intensive use of capital would be limited. A large operating loss
or charge against our net capital could adversely affect our ability to expand or even maintain current levels of business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. </FONT></P>  <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our investment advisor subsidiaries are registered with the SEC as investment advisers and are subject to the rules and regulations of the Investment
Advisers Act. The Investment Advisers Act imposes numerous obligations on registered investment advisers including record-keeping, operational and marketing requirements, disclosure obligations, limitations on principal transactions between an
adviser or its affiliates and advisory clients and prohibitions on fraudulent activities. The SEC is authorized to institute proceedings and impose sanctions for violations of the Investment Advisers Act, ranging from fines and censure to
termination of an investment adviser&#146;s registration. Investment advisers are also subject to certain state securities laws and regulations. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

customer verification, and other compliance policies and procedures. The conduct of research analysts is also the subject of rule-making by the SEC, FINRA and the federal government through Sarbanes-Oxley. These regulations require certain
disclosures by, and restrict the activities of, research analysts and broker-dealers, among others. Failure to comply with these new requirements may result in monetary, regulatory and, in the case of the USA PATRIOT Act, criminal penalties.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Principles for Businesses: EuroDekania Management is expected to comply with the FSA&#146;s high-level principles, set out in the Principles for Businesses Sourcebook, or the Principles. The Principles govern the way
in which a regulated firm conducts business and include obligations to conduct business with integrity, due skill care and diligence, to have appropriate regard to customers&#146; interests, to ensure adequate and appropriate communication with
clients, and to ensure appropriate dialogue with regulators (both in the U.K. and overseas). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Systems and controls: One of the FSA&#146;s
Principles requires a regulated firm to take reasonable care to organize and control its affairs responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management systems. Consequently, the FSA imposes overarching responsibilities on the directors and
senior management of a regulated firm. The FSA ultimately expects the senior management of a regulated firm to take responsibility for determining what processes and internal organization are appropriate to its business. Key requirements in this
context include the need to have adequate systems and controls in relation to: (1)&nbsp;senior management arrangements and general organizational requirements; (2)&nbsp;compliance, internal audit and financial crime prevention; (3)&nbsp;outsourcing;
(4)&nbsp;record keeping; and (5)&nbsp;managing conflicts of interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Conduct of business obligation.</I> The FSA imposes so called
conduct of business rules which set out the obligations to which regulated firms are subject in their dealings with clients and potential clients. EuroDekania Management has FSA permission to deal only with eligible counterparties and professional
clients in relation to most of the regulated activities it conducts. The exception to this is that when it conducts the regulated activity of making arrangements with a view to transactions in investments, EuroDekania Management may deal only with
retail and professional clients. The detailed level of the conduct of business rules with which EuroDekania Management must comply is dependent on the categorization of its clients, which should be considered in the context of the regulated activity
being performed. These rules include requirements relating to the type and level of information which must be provided to clients before business is conducted with or for them, the regulation of financial promotions, procedures for entering into
client agreements, obligations relating to the suitability and appropriateness of investments and rules about managing investments and reporting to clients. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Reporting. All authorized firms in the U.K. are required to report to the FSA on a periodic basis. EuroDekania Management&#146;s reporting requirements are based on its scope of permission. The FSA will use the
information submitted by EuroDekania Management to monitor it on an ongoing basis. There are also high level reporting obligations under the Principles, whereby EuroDekania Management is required to deal with the FSA and other regulators in an open
and co-operative way and to disclose to regulators appropriately anything relating to it of which the regulators would reasonably expect notice. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">FSA&#146;s enforcement powers. The FSA has a wide range of disciplinary and enforcement tools which it can use should a regulated firm fail to comply with its regulatory obligations. The FSA is not only able to investigate and take
enforcement action in respect of breaches of FSA rules, but also in respect of insider dealing and market </FONT>

Principles requires a regulated firm to maintain adequate financial resources. Under the FSA rules, the required level of capital depends on EuroDekania Management&#146;s prudential categorization, calculated in accordance with the relevant FSA
rules. A firm&#146;s prudential categorization is loosely based on the type of regulated activities which it conducts, as this in turn determines the level of risk to which a firm is considered exposed. A firm like EuroDekania Management would be
classified as a BIPRU 50K limited license firm. In broad terms, this means that it would be subject to a base capital requirement of the higher of (1)&nbsp;EUR 50,000; (2)&nbsp;its credit risk plus its market risk; or (3)&nbsp;its fixed overhead
requirement. There are also detailed ongoing regulatory capital requirements applicable to a regulated firm, including those relating to limits on large exposures, and settlement and counterparty risk. </FONT></P> <P

and (3)&nbsp;the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 (as amended). For an FSA regulated firm such as EuroDekania Management, there are additional obligations contained in the FSA&#146;s rules. Guidance is also set out in the U.K. Joint Money
Laundering Steering Group Guidance Notes, which the FSA would have regard to when considering compliance by a regulated firm with U.K. money laundering requirements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a FSA regulated entity, EuroDekania Management is required to ensure that it has adequate systems and controls to enable it to identify, assess, monitor and manage financial crime risk. EuroDekania Management must

addition to potential regulatory sanctions from the FSA, failure to comply with the U.K.&#146;s anti-money laundering requirements is a criminal offense; depending on the exact nature of the offense, such a failure is punishable by an unlimited
fine, imprisonment or both. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Approved persons regime</U>. Individuals performing certain functions within a regulated entity (known as

integrity, and with due skill, care and diligence. The FSA can take action against an approved person if it appears to it that such person is guilty of misconduct and the FSA is satisfied that it is appropriate in all the circumstances to take
action against such person. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Consequently, EuroDekania Management is required to have approved persons performing certain key functions,

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The credit markets in the United States began suffering significant disruption in the second half of 2007. This disruption began in the subprime
residential mortgage sector and extended to the broader credit and financial markets generally. The world financial markets experienced unprecedented volatility and declines across asset classes in the third and fourth quarters of 2008 and in 2009.
Credit fears served to substantially stall the vital lending markets, including the inter-bank lending market. The lack of lending between financial institutions and to corporations left many companies, healthy and unhealthy, unable to borrow.
Global economic growth has slowed in both developed and emerging nations and many regions have fallen into a recession and the stock market has become even more volatile. Volatility in commodity prices and continued pricing declines in the United
States housing market have led to further disruptions in the financial markets as well. Available liquidity, particularly through securitizations declined precipitously during the second half of 2007 through the first half of 2009 and remains
depressed as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Most sectors of the financial markets have experienced declines over the past several quarters, including international equity and credit markets, driven, in part, by significant
deleveraging and the difficulty pricing risk into the market thus affecting investors all over the world. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Government intervention in
the United States, Europe and Asia markets has been significant. Several United States and European financial institutions have required government support in the form of guarantees or capital injections. Coordinated interest rate cuts, capital
injections, equity participation and a framework for securities purchases, are intended to return confidence and stability to the global financial system. Whether and when this will occur is not yet known. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The external shocks to the financial services industry have reshaped, and will likely continue to reshape, the competitive landscape. Some of the largest

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following factors may also affect our business: </FONT></P>  <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Credit market disruption</U>. The past several quarters have been extremely volatile and have presented many challenges. Further declines in the
housing and credit markets in the United States and Europe heightened concerns over the creditworthiness of some financial institutions including adversely affecting certain regional banks. During the first half of 2009, credit markets continued to
experience illiquidity and wider credit spreads as compared to historical norms. This has resulted in significant downward pressure on the performance of financial assets in general with even more severe pressure on securitized financial assets. Due
to the poor performance of securitized financial assets, investments in collateralized debt obligations, CLOs, and similar structured vehicles have fallen out of favor with investors. Historically, the overwhelming majority of our new issue and
advisory revenues have come from the creation of securitized financial assets. Accordingly, the credit market disruption since the second half of 2007 has severely restricted our ability to earn new issues fees. Furthermore, historically, the
primary method by which we increase our AUM and asset management fees was to securitize financial assets. Therefore, the credit market disruption has also negatively impacted our ability to increase our AUM and asset management fees. </FONT></P>
 <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Credit performance</U>. Prior to the second quarter of 2007, we generally experienced more stable credit performance across the various asset
classes which we specialize in, as evidenced by the relatively low and stable historic default rates. More recently, however, default rates have begun to increase as the economy has continued to weaken. A further weakening of the United States
economy would likely have an even more pronounced negative impact on credit performance, which could result in an increase in default rates. Declining credit performance impacts our business primarily in the following ways: </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For collateralized debt obligations we manage, (1)&nbsp;when an individual asset defaults, we do not earn our senior and subordinated asset management fee
on that asset; (2)&nbsp;if total defaults within a structure exceed certain thresholds, the subordinated asset management fees we earn may be either deferred or eliminated altogether; and (3)&nbsp;most collateralized debt obligations we manage have
a provision whereby if defaults exceed a certain level, the holder of the most senior collateralized debt obligation securities (as defined below) can call an event of default and liquidate the trust. In this case both our senior and subordinated
asset management fees would be terminated. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For permanent capital vehicles and investment funds we manage, defaults will (1)&nbsp;reduce
the NAV of the investment fund which will reduce our asset management fee and (2)&nbsp;reduce the overall returns earned by the managed entity thereby reducing or eliminating any incentive management fee. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Finally, in general, poor credit performance reduces investor demand for the asset classes in which we specialize thereby making it more difficult for us
to raise additional capital either into existing permanent capital vehicles or investment funds that we manage or for the creation of new investment vehicles. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

2007 and through 2008; however, there was a significant widening of credit spreads across all credit markets. Credit spreads remain significantly wider than in mid-2007. This widening impacts our business in several ways: (1)&nbsp;it has resulted in
a decline in the fair value of most of the investments we own which reduces income and the book value of our equity; and (2)&nbsp;because the asset management fees we charge our investment funds and permanent capital vehicles are based on the fair
value of those funds, as the fair value of the investments within each entity declines, our asset management revenue declines as well. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

compensation, we first determine the fair value of the Restricted Units or Options granted. From time to time, we have engaged an independent third-party appraiser to value our equity interests or used an internal valuation model. In the case of
Restricted Units, we will use the most recent valuation to ascertain the value of the units granted or vested, as the application of SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R) requires, depending on the facts or circumstances. In the case of the Options, we will set the
exercise price at the per unit value implied by the valuation used. The Options will be valued based on that exercise price and other assumptions using the Black-Scholes valuation method. </FONT></P> <P

The individual rights of the equity grants are the determining factors of the appropriate treatment (liability or equity). In general terms, if the Restricted Units or Options granted have certain features (like put or cash settlement options) that
give employees the rights to redeem the grants for cash instead of equity of the Company, the grants may require liability treatment. Otherwise, equity treatment is generally appropriate. </FONT></P> <P

statements of operations. The expense is recorded ratably over the service period as defined in SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R), which is generally the vesting period. The offsetting entry is to members&#146; equity. In the case of grants that qualify for
equity treatment, no adjustment to the related compensation expense is made for subsequent valuations obtained in conjunction with subsequent equity grants. The only adjustments made would be to account for differences between actual forfeitures of

subsequent valuations as well as forfeitures as described in the preceding paragraph. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The vesting of Restricted Units may be considered a
taxable event to the individual recipient. In some cases, we have agreed to pay the recipient a bonus, or gross up bonus, to reimburse the individual for the tax liability incurred due to the receipt of the non-cash compensation. We record an
expense for the gross up bonus and include it as part of compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations. The gross up bonus is finalized at the vesting date, but estimated and recognized over the same period of time as the
underlying Restricted Unit grant (generally the vesting period). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We measure the fair value of options on the date of grant using a

dividend yield. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are not a publicly traded company and as a result we have had limited historical information on the price of our equity

estimated with reference to a peer group of companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The expected life of options is determined based on the &#147;simplified
method&#148; described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.&nbsp;107, or SAB 107, the provisions of which were extended by SAB No.&nbsp;110. Under this approach, the expected life of the option is calculated at the midpoint between the vesting date
and the end of the contractual term of the option. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We estimate expected forfeitures of stock-based awards at the grant date and recognize
compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest. The forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to reflect actual forfeiture rates. Therefore, changes in the forfeiture assumptions may impact the total amount of expenses ultimately
recognized over the vesting period. Estimated forfeitures are reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances. We use the risk-free interest rate, which is based on the yield of United States Treasury notes with
a maturity that approximates the expected life of the options. We have assumed a zero dividend payout over the expected life of the option. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

were accumulated, the assets were sold to and securitized by a newly created special purpose entity, or the collateralized debt obligation SPE. The collateralized debt obligation SPE financed this purchase by issuing various layers of collateralized
debt obligation securities to investors in a private offering. We generally served as collateral asset manager of the collateralized debt obligation SPE and received ongoing fees for this service during the life of the collateralized debt obligation
SPE. In cases where the assets held by the collateralized debt obligation SPE were TruPS, the TruPS represent a receivable from another special purpose entity, or the Trust SPE, which, in turn, holds a receivable from a financial institution obligor

Consolidated Financial Statements-an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;51</I>, or SFAS No.&nbsp;160, which was issued in December 2007. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51, <I>Consolidated Financial
Statements</I>, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in
the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements as opposed to mezzanine equity. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 also changes the way the consolidated statement of operations is presented by requiring net income
to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, of the amounts of net income attributable to
the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that
clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. For all periods in which a consolidated balance sheet is presented, we reclassified all amounts, from the
former &#147;minority interest&#148; caption, formerly displayed between total liabilities and members&#146; equity, to a new line item, &#147;non-controlling interests,&#148; which is included in members&#146; equity. Additionally, in the statement
of operations, Cohen does not deduct any non-controlling interests in determining net income. Rather, we display, below net income on the face of the statement of operations, the portion of consolidated net income or loss that is attributable to the
controlling and non-controlling interests. Other than the reclassification described above, the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160 did not have a material effect on Cohen&#146;s financial condition or results of operations. </FONT></P> <P

entitled to receive one share of AFN Series A preferred stock. The AFN Series A preferred stock will have no economic rights but will entitle Mr.&nbsp;Cohen to elect at least one-third (but less than a majority) of AFN&#146;s board of directors. On
or after June&nbsp;30, 2010, Mr.&nbsp;Cohen may convert the AFN Series A preferred stock into AFN Series B preferred stock, which will have no economic rights but will entitle Mr.&nbsp;Cohen to vote together with AFN&#146;s stockholders on all
matters presented to its stockholders and to exercise approximately 31.9% of the voting power of AFN&#146;s common stock (assuming all Cohen members except Mr. Cohen elect to receive AFN common stock in the business combination and there is no
change in AFN&#146;s capitalization). The recapitalized Cohen membership units may be redeemed for cash or, at AFN&#146;s discretion, an equivalent number of shares of AFN common stock at any time in the future after a minimum required holding
period (the six-month period following the completion of the business combination for all members other than Mr.&nbsp;Cohen and the three-year period following the completion of the business combination for Mr.&nbsp;Cohen), which will apply to any
interests not converted immediately upon the effectiveness of the business combination. If all recapitalized Cohen membership units were to be converted into shares of AFN&#146;s common stock, AFN&#146;s existing stockholders (including the
Company&#146;s members who may own AFN shares directly) would own 38.5% and current Cohen members would own 61.5% of AFN post-business combination. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">The proposed business combination, which is expected to close during the second half of 2009, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the receipt of third party consents and other conditions set forth in the definitive
merger agreement. In addition, the issuance of shares of AFN common stock and Series A preferred stock in the business combination is subject to approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of AFN&#146;s common stock,
provided that the number of votes cast on the matter represents over 50% interest of all securities entitled to vote on the proposal. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
business combination will be treated as a reverse merger. Cohen has been determined to be the acquirer for purposes of U.S. GAAP. The consideration transferred (that is, the purchase price or cost of the business combination) will be equal to the
market capitalization of AFN&#146;s common stock as of the effective date of the business combination. Any difference between the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and the consideration transferred shall be treated as either goodwill
(if the consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired) or bargain purchase (if the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the consideration transferred). As an accounting matter, Cohen shall be treated as the
accounting acquirer. Therefore, the combined company&#146;s historical results prior to the effective time of the business combination will be Cohen&#146;s stand-alone results. Subsequent to the business combination, the combined company&#146;s
results will be the consolidated results of both AFN&#146;s and Cohen&#146;s operations. All of Cohen&#146;s net assets will be carried forward at their existing accounting basis while AFN&#146;s net assets will be recorded at estimated fair value
as of the effective date of the business combination. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">After the business combination, Cohen will be a consolidated subsidiary of AFN.
Each of the current members of Cohen will either exchange their Cohen membership units for shares of AFN common stock or retain a direct membership interest in Cohen. Subsequent to the business combination, any membership interest in Cohen (other
than the interest held by AFN) will be treated as a noncontrolling interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

an important driver of our revenue and expense fluctuations. When assets are securitized in a collateralized debt obligation trust, we record upfront revenue that includes securitization revenues which are included as a component of new issue and
advisory revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, much of our work force receives a significant portion of their compensation through performance bonuses which are related to our revenues. Therefore, assets securitized
will impact compensation and benefits expense in addition to revenue. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Historically, the primary method of increasing our AUM was to
securitize assets in newly created trusts. We also increase our AUM by raising new capital in our permanent capital vehicles or investment funds. However, when we raise capital to be managed in permanent capital vehicles and investment funds, we do
not generally earn upfront fees. Therefore, raising new capital in these entities generally impacts our ongoing asset management fees which is best viewed as part of AUM discussed in the next section. </FONT></P> <P

</TABLE>   <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The AUM for permanent capital vehicles represents the net asset value for each entity
less any investments the entity has made in our sponsored collateralized debt obligations, if any. The investments each entity has made in our sponsored collateralized debt obligations are included as a component of the AUM of company sponsored
collateralized debt obligations. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, EuroDekania was still managed by us but had all of its NAV invested in sponsored collateralized debt obligations. However, MFCA was no longer managed by us as of June&nbsp;30, 2009. See note
6 to the June&nbsp;30, 2009 unaudited financial statements of Cohen for more information about the transfer of the MFCA management contract. Because the management fees we earn from the permanent capital vehicles are generally subject to an offset
for the management fees we earn from the collateralized debt obligations they invest in, fluctuations in the NAV of the permanent capital vehicle generally do not directly impact the management fee revenue we earn. </FONT></P>  <P

receive any subordinated fees that were deferred in later periods; however, we do not recognize revenue until any fees deferred are actually paid. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, no subordinated fees remain deferred. In addition, in March 2009, we entered
into a sub-advisory agreement with an unrelated third party, related to the STEP management contract. From March&nbsp;18, 2009 through April&nbsp;21, 2009, we continued to receive collateral management fees from this securitization and served as its
manager. During this period, we paid a sub advisory fee to an unrelated third party equal to 45% of the management fee revenue we received under this management contract. Effective April&nbsp;22, 2009, the STEP management contract was formally
assigned to the unrelated third party who then became the collateral manager. Per our agreement, the new collateral manager pays us a fee equal to 55% of any management fees the unrelated third party receives from this securitization. As of
April&nbsp;22, 2009, we recognize this sub advisory fee as other income which is a component of principal transactions and other income in the consolidated statements of operations. See note 6 to the unaudited June&nbsp;30, 2009 consolidated

June&nbsp;30, 2008 to $993 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009. The increase was primarily because the Deep Value Entities consummated their first closing in April 2008 and had more AUM for more months during the periods in question.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Brigadier Entities management fee revenue decreased by $650 from $1,569 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 to $919 for the
six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009. The decrease of $650 was due to a decrease in base management fee revenue because the average NAV decreased during the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008.
Average NAV has decreased primarily due to investor redemptions. From April 2008 to June 2009, Brigadier experienced net redemptions of $157,595 (including redemptions of our investment in Brigadier of $52,601 during that same time period). Because
no management fees were earned on our own investment in Brigadier; our redemptions did not directly impact our management fee revenue. From June 30, 2009 through August 18, 2009, Brigadier has paid actual redemptions of $34,977 and received an
additional $19,412 of redemption requests. Subsequent to March 2009, three managers of Brigadier resigned and Daniel G. Cohen was named chief investment officer. Two of these managers had been in place since the inception of the fund. The Company
has replaced these managers but it is unclear what impact this will have on the fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Permanent Capital Vehicles and Other

management fees after March&nbsp;18, 2009. On March&nbsp;18, 2009, the board of directors of MFCA approved the assignment of the MFCA management contract between Cohen and MFCA to an unrelated third party. We did not receive cash proceeds for this
assignment nor did we receive a termination fee from MFCA related to the termination of the management contract. However, in conjunction with the assignment, the Company terminated the employees of its not for profit asset management group that were
servicing this contract and the transferee hired the majority of those employees. We will receive a participation fee beginning on March&nbsp;18, 2012 and for the ten year period thereafter equal to 10% of the revenue earned in excess of $1,000

42% to $2,137 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 from $3,680 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. For the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008, compensation and benefits includes equity-based compensation of $2,248 related to the
amortization of Restricted Unit grants consisting of restricted membership units and LTIP units awarded to our executives and $1,432 related to the amortization of Options awarded to our employees. For the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009,

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2008 and January 2009, we approved and implemented the 2009 Senior Managers&#146; Cash Bonus Retention Plan, or the retention
plan. Pursuant to the retention plan, we entered into retention arrangements with certain of our employees to ensure their continued service through the completion of the business combination with AFN. We paid an amount to each employee that by the
terms of the retention arrangement vests over the period from January&nbsp;1, 2009 to the earlier of the effectiveness of the AFN business combination with Cohen or September&nbsp;30, 2009. The total amount paid under these retention agreements is
approximately $12.4 million and is currently being expensed over the contractual nine month vesting period. If an employee who received a payment under this plan voluntarily resigns or is terminated for cause prior to September&nbsp;30, 2009, the
employee is obligated to repay any unvested amount to Cohen. If the business combination is consummated prior to September&nbsp;30, 2009, any unexpensed balance will be expensed at that time. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, other compensation and benefits in the table above is primarily comprised of salary, incentive compensation and benefits. The increase in
this component of total compensation and benefits is primarily related to the expansion of our capital markets business. In general, compensation expense as a percentage of revenue is higher in the capital markets business as compared to the asset
management business. Accordingly, our other compensation and benefits has actually increased while our overall revenue has decreased. Our total headcount decreased from 128 at June&nbsp;30, 2008 to 114 at June&nbsp;30, 2009. </FONT></P>  <P

months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. Business development expenses, such as promotion, advertising, travel and entertainment made up $726 of the period over period decrease, primarily due to an overall decline in business activity. Rent expense
contributed $293 of the decrease, declining from $1,286 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 to $993 in the 2009 period. The primary reason for the overall decrease in rent expense was the impact of rent received from a sublease of certain
space in our New York office (which occurred during the second quarter of 2008), substantially offset by additional rent we incurred from several satellite offices rented to accommodate new employees hired to expand our capital markets business.

of $1,180 in legal and professional fees which were incurred in order to effectuate the business combination with AFN. There was also an increase of $758 in other fees during 2009 primarily related to increased insurance premiums incurred by us for
the 2009 coverage period and increased recruiting fees in our effort to expand the capital markets group. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Professional services and other
operating also include new issue costs. New issue costs decreased $541, or 46% for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 from $1,174 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. This change in new issue costs is primarily due to a decrease in
origination costs related to our company sponsored securitizations of $974 because there were no originations during the first half of 2009. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in solicitation costs of $433 associated with capital
raising activities for the Deep Value Entities. See discussion above of &#147;&#151;New Issue and Advisory Revenue.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Depreciation and Amortization

months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. This decline was primarily due to a decrease of $109 in depreciation and amortization expense on furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements. In addition, amortization expense related to the intangible asset we
recorded when we purchased the 10% of Strategos we previously did not own, in July 2007 from a noncontrolling interest partner, decreased $612 from the 2008 period to the 2009 period primarily as a result of impairment charges recorded in 2008 (see

SIZE="2">The change in fair value of interest rate swap includes two components: (1)&nbsp;the unrealized gain or loss which represents our estimate of the fair value adjustment for the interest rate swap entered into as required under our former
$75,000 term loan facility entered into in July 2006 and (2)&nbsp;realized gains and losses which are the periodic payments made or receipts received by us. We entered into the interest rate swap on October&nbsp;18, 2006. At that time, the notional
amount of the swap equaled 50% of the outstanding balance of the term loan (and was scheduled to decline by 50% of each principal payment throughout the term of the former term loan). The swap effectively locked three month LIBOR into a fixed rate
of 5.24% for the notional amount through the relevant period of time. When the former term loan was repaid and replaced with the amended revolving line of credit entered into in July 2007, the interest rate swap was left in place. We did not
designate the swap as a hedged item for purposes of hedge accounting under SFAS&nbsp;No. 133. Accordingly, we carried the swap at fair value and included the gain or loss in the other non-operating income (expense) section of the consolidated
statements of operations. We entered into an amended and restated credit facility on June&nbsp;1, 2009 and paid off the amended revolving line of credit and terminated the interest rate swap. </FONT></P>  <P

with TD Bank, the 2009 Credit Facility. As a consequence, we wrote off $169 of unamortized deferring financing costs to interest expense related to the former revolving line of credit. For additional information see &#147;&#151; Liquidity and

February&nbsp;27, 2009, we sold three CLO management contracts comprising substantially all of our Emporia business line to an unrelated third party. We received net proceeds from this sale, after payment of certain expenses, of $7,258. These
proceeds were used to pay down our existing senior debt outstanding. In addition, we are entitled to certain contingent payments based on the amount of subordinated management fees received by the unrelated third party under the sold CLO management
contracts in an amount not to exceed an additional $1,500. We have agreed to pay $3,000 of the net proceeds to AFN in order to compensate AFN for amounts that it would have otherwise received under a leverage loan warehouse facility in which AFN had
an interest. This payment is only required if the proposed business combination is not completed. We recorded a gain on sale of management contracts of $4,484 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, representing the net cash received of $7,484,
which also includes the payments received from the unrelated third party during the second quarter of 2009, less the $3,000 contingent payment due to AFN. We recorded the contingent payment to AFN as a liability and included it as a component of
deferred income in the consolidated balance sheets. We will record the contingent payments to be received from the unrelated third party of the subordinated fee (of up to $1,500) as additional gain as such payments are actually received. See note 5

</TABLE>   <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Asset management fees for TruPS and insurance company debt of United States companies
decreased primarily because we stopped accruing for subordinated fees for certain collateralized debt obligations due to the non-payment of such fees on the applicable quarterly payment dates during the 2008 and 2009 periods. Substantially all our
TruPS trusts have stopped paying subordinated management fees. We will begin accruing the subordinated asset management fees again if payments resume and, in our estimate, continued payment by the trusts is reasonably assured. If payments resume in
the future but we are unsure of continued payment, we will recognize the subordinated asset management fee as payments are received and will not accrue the fee on a monthly basis. See &#147;&#151; Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates &#151;
Revenue Recognition &#151; Asset Management&#148; beginning on page [<FONT FACE="WINGDINGS 2">&#151;</FONT>]. The decline in this asset class is also attributable to the decrease in average AUM due to greater levels of deferrals and defaults of the

From March&nbsp;18, 2009 through April&nbsp;21, 2009, we continued to receive collateral management fees from this securitization and served as its manager. During this period, we paid a sub advisory fee to an unrelated third party equal to 45% of
the management fee revenue we received under this management contract. Effective April&nbsp;22, 2009, the STEP management contract was formally assigned to the unrelated third party who then became the collateral manager. Per our agreement, the new
collateral manager pays us a fee equal to 55% of any management fees the unrelated third party receives from this securitization. As of April&nbsp;22, 2009, we recognize this sub advisory fee as other income which is a component of principal

ended June&nbsp;30, 2009. The decrease of $356 was due to a decrease in base management fee revenue because the average NAV decreased during the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. Average
NAV has decreased primarily due to investor redemptions. From April 2008 to June 2009, Brigadier experienced net redemptions of $157,595 (including redemptions of our investment in Brigadier of $52,601 during that same time period). Because no
management fees were earned on our own investment in Brigadier, our redemptions did not directly impact our management fee revenue. From June 30, 2009 through August 18, 2009, Brigadier has paid actual redemptions of $34,977 and received an
additional $19,412 of redemption requests. Also subsequent to March 2009, three managers of Brigadier resigned and Daniel G. Cohen was named chief investment officer. Two of these managers had been in place since the inception of the fund. The
Company has replaced these managers but it is unclear what impact this will have on the fund. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

not receive cash proceeds for this assignment nor did we receive a termination fee from MFCA related to the termination of the management contract. However, in conjunction with the assignment, the Company terminated the employees of its not for
profit asset management group that were servicing this contract and the transferee hired the majority of those employees. We will receive a participation fee beginning on March&nbsp;18, 2012 and for the ten year period thereafter equal to 10% of the
revenue earned in excess of $1,000 annually by the unrelated third party for managing MFCA. See note 6 to the unaudited June&nbsp;30, 2009 consolidated financial statements of Cohen. </FONT></P> <P

In 2007 and 2008, we provided whole loan monitoring services to Taberna. The decrease is primarily due to the fact that we stopped providing whole loan monitoring services to Taberna after June&nbsp;30, 2008 because Taberna did not renew the

  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The decrease in the change in fair value of other investments at fair value of $1,855 was primarily
due to a reduction in the net appreciation of Star Asia Finance of $5,429. Star Asia Finance appreciated in both periods but to a lesser degree in 2009 due to lower appreciation of the NAV of the permanent capital vehicle. This was partially offset
by an increase in the change in fair value of MFCA of $805 due to improvements in the municipal bond market in 2009; and increases in the changes in fair value of the Deep Value Entities of $2,027 and of AFN of $600. </FONT></P> <P

interest, and other income is primarily related to a decrease in dividends from our permanent capital vehicles of $701, interest income from collateralized debt obligations of $283, and reduced income on cash balances of $188. The reduction in
dividends on permanent capital vehicles as well as interest income on collateralized debt obligations are primarily due to reduced performance of the related entities. The reduced income on cash balances results from declining interest rates as well
as a decline in our invested cash balances. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Net Trading </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

trading activity. The increase in trading activity is primarily attributable to the expansion of our capital markets business including the hiring of additional traders and sales people. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, we had a total of 37 traders and
sales people in our capital markets group as compared to 16 as of June&nbsp;30, 2008. To date, we have been successful in our strategy of expanding our capital markets business. We believe there is a significant opportunity in expanding our capital
markets business because (1)&nbsp;dislocation in the credit markets has resulted in an opportunity to create a first class broker dealer and (2)&nbsp;institutional investors are very receptive to working with boutique broker dealers because the
large broker dealers have scaled back their risk taking and the small broker dealers provide execution that they value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Operating

of Restricted Unit grants consisting of restricted membership units and LTIP units awarded to our executives and $399 related to the amortization of Options awarded to our employees. For the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, compensation and

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2008 and January 2009, we approved and implemented the retention plan. Pursuant to the retention plan, we entered into retention arrangements
with certain of our employees to ensure their continued service through the completion of the business combination with AFN. We paid an amount to each employee that by the terms of the retention arrangement vests over the period from January&nbsp;1,
2009 to the earlier of the effectiveness of the AFN business combination with Cohen or September&nbsp;30, 2009. The total amount paid under these retention agreements is approximately $12.4 million and is currently being expensed over the
contractual nine month vesting period. If an employee who received a payment under this plan voluntarily resigns or is terminated for cause prior to September&nbsp;30, 2009, the employee is obligated to repay any unvested amount to Cohen. If the
business combination is consummated prior to September&nbsp;30, 2009, any unexpensed balance will be expensed at that time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition,
other compensation and benefits in the table above is primarily comprised of salary, incentive compensation and benefits. The increase in this component of total compensation and benefits is primarily related to our expansion of our capital markets
business. In general, compensation expense as a percentage of revenue is higher in the capital markets business as compared to the asset management business. Accordingly, our other compensation and benefits has remained flat while our overall
revenue has decreased. Our total headcount decreased from 128 at June&nbsp;30, 2008 to 114 at June&nbsp;30, 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Business Development, Occupancy and

2009 from $1,800 for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008. Business development expenses, such as promotion, advertising, travel and entertainment made up $527 of the period over period decrease, primarily due to an overall decline in business
activity. Rent expense contributed $50 of the decrease, declining from $540 for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 to $490 in the 2009 period. The decline in rent is primarily due to the closing of one of our satellite offices in California
in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to the Emporia business line. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Professional Services and Other Operating Expenses </I></FONT></P> <P

three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008 primarily due to the increase of $360 in legal and professional fees incurred in order to effectuate the business combination with AFN. There was also an increase of $550 in other fees during 2009 primarily
related to increased insurance premiums incurred by us for the 2009 coverage period and increased recruiting fees in our effort to expand the capital markets group. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

This change in new issue costs is primarily due to a decrease in origination costs related to our company sponsored securitizations of $491 because there were no originations during the second quarter of 2009. This decrease was partially offset by
an increase in solicitation costs of $161 associated with capital raising activities for the Deep Value Entities. See discussion above of new issue and advisory revenue. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

$61 in depreciation and amortization expense on furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements. In addition, amortization expense related to the intangible asset we recorded when we purchased the 10% of Strategos we previously did not own, in July
2007 from a noncontrolling interest partner, decreased $306 from the 2008 period to 2009 period primarily as a result of impairment charges recorded in 2008 (see note 11 to the unaudited June&nbsp;30, 2009 consolidated financial statements of

(1)&nbsp;the unrealized gain or loss which represents our estimate of the fair value adjustment for the interest rate swap entered into as required under our former $75,000 term loan facility entered into in July 2006 and (2)&nbsp;realized gains and
losses which are the periodic payments made or receipts received by us. We entered into the interest rate swap on October&nbsp;18, 2006. At that time, the notional amount of the swap equaled 50% of the outstanding balance of the term loan (and was
scheduled to decline by 50% of each principal payment throughout the term of the former term loan). The swap effectively locked three month LIBOR into a fixed rate of 5.24% for the notional amount through the relevant period of time. When the former
term loan was repaid and replaced with the amended revolving line of credit entered into in July 2007, the interest rate swap was left in place. We did not designate the swap as a hedged item for purposes of hedge accounting under SFAS&nbsp;No. 133.
Accordingly, we carried the swap at fair value and included the gain or loss in the other non-operating income (expense) section of the consolidated statements of operations. We entered into an amended and restated credit facility on June&nbsp;1,
2009 and paid off the amended revolving line of credit and terminated the interest rate swap. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Interest Expense </I></FONT></P> <P

2008. This decrease of $603 was comprised of (a)&nbsp;a decrease of $794 of interest incurred on our senior debt; (b)&nbsp;an increase of $261 of interest incurred on subordinated debt; and (c)&nbsp;a decrease of $70 of other interest expense.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The decrease of $794 related to senior debt was comprised of a reduction of $1,150 due to a lower debt balance due to debt repayments for
the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008, partially offset by an increase of $217 due to higher interest rates and an increase in amortization of deferred financing of $139. On June&nbsp;1, 2009, we completed an amended

during the relevant periods. The overall decline in new issue and advisory revenue was primarily due to the reduction of assets originated and securitized in our asset classes due to the current volatility in the credit markets. This disruption has
severely restricted our ability to complete new securitizations and finance the origination of new assets. See discussion of new issue costs as well as principal transactions and other income below. Our origination fees have generally been
accompanied by corresponding direct origination costs, reported as a component of new issue costs, generally in the form of sub-originator payments. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

primarily because we stopped accruing for subordinated fees for certain collateralized debt obligations due to the non-payment of such fees on the applicable quarterly payment dates during the 2008 period. Substantially all our TruPS trusts have
stopped paying subordinated management fees. We will begin accruing the subordinated asset management fees again if payments resume and, in our estimate, continued payment by the trusts is reasonably assured. If payments resume in the future but we
are unsure of continued payment, we will recognize the subordinated asset management fee as payments are received and will not accrue the fee on a monthly basis. See &#147;&#151; Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates &#151; Revenue Recognition

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We served as external manager of the Deep Value Entities which were formed in the first half of 2008.
Since we consolidate the Deep Value Onshore Fund, the related management fees earned get eliminated in consolidation and are effectively recognized as a component of noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statement of operations. The Brigadier
Entities management fee revenue increased $520 from $9,077 for year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 to $9,597 for year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. The increase of $520 was composed of a decrease in incentive management revenue of $956 offset by an
increase in base fee management revenue of $1,476. Incentive management revenue declined because the overall returns earned by the Brigadier Entities declined from 28% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 to 15% for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008. Base management fee revenue increased because the average NAV increased during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">Our asset management revenue from permanent capital vehicles and other are primarily comprised of fees from AFN, EuroDekania, MFCA as well as whole loan monitoring fees. The net increase of $560 was primarily comprised of an increase of
$2,629 from AFN, a decrease of $1,635 from EuroDekania, an increase $165 from MFCA and a decrease of $599 in whole loan monitoring and other fees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">We served as external manager of AFN during both 2007 and 2008. Our base management fee for AFN is offset by AFN&#146;s share of asset management fees that are paid to us by the sponsored collateralized debt obligations that AFN has
invested in. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, we recognized a net base management fee of $32 because the base management fees earned for managing AFN were almost completely offset by AFN&#146;s share of the base management fee paid to
us by company-sponsored collateralized debt obligations that AFN invested in. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, the base management fee was completely offset, however, we recognized an incentive fee of $2,661 because AFN&#146;s net
income exceeded certain thresholds during the third quarter of 2008 largely as a result of a gain on extinguishment of debt recognized by AFN of $43,900. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We served as external manager of EuroDekania during both 2007 and 2008. Like AFN, our management fee for EuroDekania is offset by EuroDekania&#146;s share of asset management fees that were paid to us by the sponsored
collateralized debt obligations that EuroDekania has invested in. Overall management fees for EuroDekania decreased in 2008 from 2007 because of the increases in the management fee offset resulting from EuroDekania&#146;s increased investment in our
sponsored collateralized debt obligations in mid 2007 and in mid 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We served as external manager of MFCA during both 2007 and 2008.
MFCA was formed in June 2007, thus the fees for the stub year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 were less than the fees earned for the full year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Whole loan monitoring is primarily comprised of asset management fees from whole loan monitoring services provided for Taberna (see note 2 to the five year historical operating data presented on page <B>[<FONT
FACE="WINGDINGS 2">&#151;</FONT><B></B>]</B> for a discussion of Taberna). Taberna has a portfolio of whole loans and contracted with us to provide oversight and monitoring services. In 2007 and 2008, we provided whole loan monitoring services to
Taberna. The decrease is primarily due to the fact that we stopped providing whole loan monitoring services to Taberna after June&nbsp;30, 2008 because Taberna did not renew the contract and began performing this monitoring function in-house.

Realized losses and impairments on these securities were included in principal transactions and other income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The realized gains during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 represent redemptions from

AFN and yield guarantee fee to AFN in 2007. These fees were paid to AFN because we had utilized warehouse facilities that were being supported by AFN in order to accumulate assets prior to securitization. These decreases were partially offset by an

(2)&nbsp;realized gains and losses which are the periodic payments made or receipts received by us. We entered into the interest rate swap on October&nbsp;18, 2006. At that time, the notional amount of the swap equaled 50% of the outstanding balance
of the term loan (and was scheduled to decline by 50% of each principal payment throughout the term of the former term loan). The swap terminates on June&nbsp;30, 2009 and effectively locks three month LIBOR into a fixed rate of 5.24% for the
notional amount through the relevant period of time. We did not designate the swap as a hedged item for purposes of hedge accounting under SFAS&nbsp;No. 133. Accordingly, we carry the swap at fair value and include the gain or loss in the other
non-operating income (expense) section of the consolidated statements of operations. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the notional amount of the swap equaled $35,625. When the former term loan was repaid and replaced with the amended revolving line of
credit entered into in July 2007, the interest rate swap was left in place. Because of changes in LIBOR swap rates, the value of the swap declined more in 2008 as compared to 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

cost is based on LIBOR which has declined significantly for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The interest expense for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 includes interest incurred on our

equity method affiliates decreased $11,457, or 98%, to $262 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 from $11,719 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Income from equity method affiliates represents our share of the related entities&#146;
earnings. During 2007, we had four equity method investees: (1)&nbsp;the Brigadier Entities; (2)&nbsp;Star Asia Manager; (3)&nbsp;DEKU; and (4)&nbsp;MFCA. However, because MFCA was formed during June of 2007, we initially recorded income from equity
method affiliates related to MFCA during the second half of 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Effective January&nbsp;1, 2008, we elected the fair value option under
SFAS No.&nbsp;159 for our investments in the Brigadier Entities and MFCA. Accordingly, the change in value of the investments is included as a component of principal transactions and other income effective January&nbsp;1, 2008, and not income from
equity method affiliates. As of January&nbsp;1, 2008 and December&nbsp;31, 2008, our only equity method investees were Star Asia Manager, DEKU and Deep Value GP. The decrease in income from equity method affiliates is primarily related to our share
of the Brigadier Entities&#146; income in the amount of $12,849 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 being recognized in the income from equity method affiliates. The comparable earnings for 2008 were recognized in principal transactions and
other income. See above discussion of principal transactions and other income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The decline in origination fees was primarily due to: (1)&nbsp;the reduction of assets originated in our TruPS and insurance company debt of United
States and European companies of $10,493 due to the lower volume of asset originations as a result of a general deterioration in the business environment; and (2)&nbsp;a decline of $4,499 in origination fees as a result of Taberna obtaining its own
FINRA broker-dealer license in 2006 at which time we stopped providing originations services to Taberna. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our CLOs of small and medium sized United States businesses of $3,005. We launched an
origination platform in late 2006, which resulted in an increase in origination revenue in this asset class in 2007. Our origination fees have generally been accompanied by corresponding direct origination costs, reported as a component of new issue
costs, generally in the form of sub-originator payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Asset Management </I></FONT></P> <P

primarily because of the relative mix of the asset classes. High grade and mezzanine ABS typically pay a lower management fee (as a percentage of assets managed) than the other asset classes. This asset class represented a higher percentage of total
AUM for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Investment funds </B></FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">The increase in our asset management fees from permanent capital vehicles and other is primarily due to the base management fees earned on two new permanent capital vehicles formed in 2007: EuroDekania and MFCA, partially offset by a
decline in asset management fees from AFN. Our base management fee for AFN is offset by AFN&#146;s share of asset management fees that are paid to us by sponsored collateralized debt obligations that AFN has invested in. During 2007, AFN increased
its investment in company sponsored collateralized debt obligations therefore the management fee earned by managing AFN was almost completely offset in 2007. The decline in fees from other is related to Sunset, a third party REIT, whose contract was
replaced with the management contract with AFN upon Sunset&#146;s merger with AFN in November 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Principal Transactions and Other Income

as compared to income of $6,777 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to realized and unrealized losses on Primary Issuance positions of $12,899 due to the general decrease in asset values of securitized financial
assets during 2007, and a loss of $1,500 due to the recognition of a realized loss on a total return swap that was transferred to one of our permanent capital vehicles, MFCA. The losses on Primary Issuance positions related to positions retained
from company sponsored securitizations, for which we previously earned new issue and advisory revenue. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

partially offset by a decrease of $8,058 in new issue costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>New Issue Costs </I></FONT></P> <P

This change is made up of the following components: (1)&nbsp;a decrease in origination costs related to United States and European TruPS issuances of $11,700 because of lower volume of originations, partially offset by increased origination costs of
$1,555 due to higher origination volume in non TruPS asset classes as well as costs associated with our launch of an origination platform for CLOs to small and medium sized businesses in late 2006; (2)&nbsp;an increase of $5,676 because we recorded
expenses for a capital commitment fee to AFN and yield guarantee fee to AFN (these fees were paid to AFN because we had utilized warehouse facilities that were being supported by AFN in order to accumulate assets prior to securitization); and
(3)&nbsp;a decrease of $3,589 primarily due to a reduction in origination costs related to Taberna. New issue costs related to Taberna declined because we did not provide any origination services to Taberna in 2007 because Taberna obtained its own
FINRA broker-dealer license in 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Compensation and Benefits </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

two components: (1)&nbsp;the unrealized gain or loss which represents our estimate of fair value adjustment for the interest rate swap entered into as required under our former $75,000 term loan facility entered into in July 2006 and
(2)&nbsp;realized gains and losses which are periodic payments made or receipts received by us. We entered into the interest rate swap on October&nbsp;18, 2006. At that time, the notional amount of the swap equaled 50% of the outstanding balance of
the term loan (and was scheduled to decline by 50% of each principal payment throughout the term of the former term loan). The swap terminates on June&nbsp;30, 2009 and effectively locks three month LIBOR into a fixed rate of 5.24% for the notional
amount through the relevant period of time. We did not designate the swap as a hedged item for purposes of hedge accounting under SFAS&nbsp;No. 133. Accordingly, we carry the swap at fair value and include the gain or loss in the other non-operating
income (expense) section of the consolidated statements of operations. As of December&nbsp;31, 2007, the notional amount of the swap equaled $36,750. When the former term loan was repaid and replaced with the amended revolving line of credit entered
into in July 2007, the interest rate swap was left in place. Because of changes in LIBOR swap rates, the value of the swap changed more in 2007 as compared to 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

December&nbsp;31, 2007 from $3,647 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 primarily as a result of interest incurred on our former $75,000 term loan entered into subsequent to June&nbsp;30, 2006 and interest on the amended revolving line of
credit facility entered into in July 2007 (that is, we had higher debt balances outstanding in 2007 as compared to 2006). In addition, we wrote off $770 of unamortized deferred financing related to the former $75,000 term loan which was replaced by
the amended revolving line of credit facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Income from Equity Method Affiliates </B></FONT></P> <P

and (4)&nbsp;MFCA. We invested in Star Asia Manager, DEKU and MFCA during 2007. Brigadier LP was formed in May 2006. The increase in income from equity method affiliates is primarily related to our share of the net income of the Brigadier Entities
which was $3,553 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 and was $12,849 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, an increase of $9,296 which increased primarily due to it being in place for the full year of 2007 as well as enhanced investment
returns. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-09, <I>Separate Financial Statements of Subsidiaries not Consolidated and 50 Percent

acquisition of the remaining 10% noncontrolling interest on July&nbsp;30, 2007. See notes 7 and 8 to the December&nbsp;31, 2008 consolidated financial statements of Cohen. The noncontrolling interest represented the noncontrolling interest

securitizations and AUM for these types of collateralized debt obligations grew from 2006 to 2007 thereby increasing the earnings of this subsidiary. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest grew through July&nbsp;30, 2007 as well. </FONT></P> <P

our members discussed above). We may need to raise additional debt or equity financing in order to ensure we have the capital necessary in order to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital

consisted of the 10% un-owned portion of the in-place asset management contracts of Strategos; and (3)&nbsp;goodwill. We initially recognized an intangible asset of $6,066 and goodwill of $9,247. </FONT></P> <P

The Former Bank Group Loan provided for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of $20,000 or 10% of the available borrowing base. Outstanding letters of credit were treated as outstanding borrowings for the

based upon the present value of certain of our collateralized debt obligation management fees as well as a percentage of the estimated value of certain other investments we have pledged as collateral. For purposes of this table, we have assumed the
available borrowing base exceeds the maximum revolving credit amount throughout the life of the 2009 Credit Facility. Fluctuations in actual principal payments may result in different principal payments than noted above based on discretionary
payments made by us or if the actual available borrowing base amount is less than the maximum revolving credit amount thereby requiring additional payments. The 2009 Credit Facility contains a provision whereby the loan becomes due and payable if
the business combination with AFN is not consummated by November 30, 2009. This table assumes the business combination is completed and the facility does not become due and payable in 2009. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

our trading and investing positions. Market risk is inherent to both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and accordingly, the scope of our market risk management procedures extends beyond derivatives to include all
market-risk-sensitive financial instruments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Interest Rate Risk </B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Interest rate risk is a consequence of owning interest-rate-sensitive financial instruments.&nbsp;The Company&#146;s trading assets mainly consist of
unconsolidated investments in securitized financial products. Although these investments are broadly characterized as fixed income securities, they are not in themselves particularly sensitive to interest rate risk. Because they generally accrue
income at a variable rate, the movement in interest rates does not impact their fair value. Fluctuations in their current income due to variations in interest rates are not material to us. </FONT></P>  <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have debt that accrues interest at variable rates. Because the interest expense on our floating-rate debt that was outstanding at June 30, 2009 and
December&nbsp;31, 2008 would have fluctuated as prevailing interest rates changed, changes in market interest rates would not have materially affected its fair value. We had put in place an interest rate swap which was subject to interest rate risk
and was terminated on June 1, 2009. See note 9 to the unaudited June 30, 2009 consolidated financial statements of Cohen and note 10 to the audited December&nbsp;31, 2008 consolidated financial statements of Cohen. </FONT></P> <P

Because the swap had originally been scheduled to terminate on June&nbsp;30, 2009, changes in market interest rates did not materially affect its fair value. A 100 bps change in the three month LIBOR rate would impact annual interest expense (net of
the offsetting impact of the swap during the period outstanding) $130 and $314 as of June 30, 2009 and December&nbsp;31, 2008, respectively. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

permanent capital vehicles. Equity price risk results from changes in the level or volatility of underlying equity prices, which affect the value of equity securities or instruments that derive their value from a particular stock. We attempt to
reduce the risk of loss inherent in our inventory of equity securities by monitoring those security positions. However, since we generally make investments in our investment funds and permanent capital vehicles in order to facilitate being able to
raise third party investments (and increase our AUM and management fees), we may be unwilling to sell out of these positions as compared to investments in unaffiliated third parties. </FONT></P>  <P

issuers within the collateralized debt obligation, the asset class of the collateralized debt obligation and the relative supply and demand of investments within that asset class, credit spreads in general, the transparency of valuation of the
assets and liabilities of the collateralized debt obligation, investors view of the accuracy of ratings prepared by the rating agencies, as well as other factors. The sensitivity to any individual market risk cannot be quantified. However, the

Barry C. Mohr, Jr., and Jacques de Saint Phalle</I>.&nbsp;The plaintiff in this case is the Liquidation Trustee of the Sentinel Liquidation Trust, which emerged from the bankruptcy of Sentinel, filed in August 2007.&nbsp;The Liquidation Trustee,
purportedly as the assignee of claims of Sentinel&#146;s customers, alleges that, by recommending that Sentinel purchase securities, mainly collateralized debt obligations, that the Liquidation Trustee deems to have been unsuitable for
Sentinel&#146;s customer accounts, CCS aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties purportedly owed by Sentinel and its head trader to Sentinel&#146;s customers, in violation of Illinois common law.&nbsp;The complaint also alleges claims under
common law theories of negligence and unjust enrichment.&nbsp;The Company will vigorously defend all claims.&nbsp;CCS filed a motion to dismiss the Liquidation Trustee&#146;s complaint on July&nbsp;21, 2009. On July 28, 2009, the Court dismissed a
substantively identical case brought by the Liquidation Trustee against The Bank of New York Mellon Corp. No contingent liability was recorded in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements related to this litigation. </FONT></P> <P

Company Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cohen, which acts as AFN&#146;s manager, the manager provides for the day-to-day management of AFN&#146;s operations. The general terms of the management agreement, including a description of the
fees payable to the manager, can be found under &#147;Information Regarding Alesco Financial Inc. &#151; Business &#151; Management Agreement&#148; and &#147;Information Regarding Alesco Financial Inc. &#151; Management&#146;s Discussion of Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; beginning on pages [<FONT FACE="WINGDINGS 2">&#151;</FONT>] and [<FONT FACE="WINGDINGS 2">&#151;</FONT>], respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, AFN incurred no fees,
net of asset management fee credits, to the manager under the management agreement. For the twelve months ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, AFN incurred base and incentive fees payable to the manager, net of asset management fee credits, of
$2.7&nbsp;million. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, AFN incurred no fees, net of asset management fee credits, to the manager under the management agreement. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

to the fees payable to Cohen under the management agreement with AFN, Cohen benefits from other fees paid to it by third parties in respect of AFN&#146;s investments. In particular, affiliates of Cohen earn origination fees paid by the issuers of
TruPS, which have historically ranged from zero to 3.0% of the face amount of a TruPS issuance. Cohen, through its affiliates, typically retains part of this fee and shares the balance with the investment bank or other third-party broker that
introduced the funding opportunity to Cohen. Cohen&#146;s affiliates also receive new issue revenue for services relating to the structuring of a CDO or CLO on AFN&#146;s behalf or in which AFN invests. This fee has historically ranged from zero to
0.84% of the face amount of the securities issued by the CDO or CLO, but may exceed this amount. AFN&#146;s independent directors must approve any structuring fees for CDOs and CLOs collateralized by its target asset classes exceeding 0.45% of the
face amount of the securities issued by such CDOs or CLOs. In addition, affiliates of Cohen&nbsp;receive collateral management fees for acting as collateral manager of the CDOs and CLOs in which AFN invests. The collateral management fees have
historically ranged between zero and 0.65% of the assets held by the CDOs and CLOs. The collateral managers may also be entitled to earn incentive fees if CDOs or CLOs managed by them exceed certain performance benchmarks. A broker-dealer affiliate
of Cohen&nbsp;has also earned and will earn placement fees in respect of debt and equity securities which it sells to investors in the CDOs and CLOs in which AFN invests, as well as commissions and mark-ups from trading of securities to and from
CDOs and CLOs in which AFN invests. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, Cohen&#146;s broker-dealer subsidiary earned $0 and $0.2 million, respectively, of commission income as a result of an exchange transaction involving an AFN
TruPS VIE entity. Under the management agreement, the base management fee and incentive management fee payable by AFN to the manager are reduced by AFN&#146;s proportionate share of the amount of any CDO and CLO collateral management fees and
incentive fees paid to Cohen&nbsp;and its affiliates in connection with the CDOs and CLOs in which AFN invests, based on the percentage of equity AFN holds in such CDOs and CLOs. Origination fees, structuring fees, placement fees and trading
discounts and commissions paid to, or earned by, Cohen and its affiliates do not reduce the amount of fees AFN pays under the management agreement. Cohen provides advisory services to companies with outstanding debt obligations held in trusts or
similar special purpose entities managed by Cohen. Cohen receives a fee for such services. These advisory services may consist of debt restructuring advice, which may result in transactions affecting the debt obligations held in the special purpose
entities managed by Cohen. AFN may hold an interest in these special purpose entities. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

terminate in May 2009. The sale of the Emporia II and III collateral management contracts required AFN&#146;s consent as holder of the equity interests in Emporia II and III.&nbsp;In consideration for AFN&#146;s consent to enter into such
transaction, Cohen and AFN entered into an arrangement which requires Cohen to pay $3 million to AFN in the event that the proposed business combination is not completed.&nbsp;The purpose of the payment is to compensate AFN for amounts that it would

termination date. Additionally, Cohen and AFN agreed that AFN would be permitted to continue to offset the monthly base management fee and the quarterly incentive fee by Cohen&#146;s proportionate share of the collateral management fees paid in

advisable for the administration thereof. The plan committee may reduce any amount that would be otherwise payable under the AFN cash bonus plan if it determines that the reduction is necessary or appropriate, or in the best interests of AFN&#146;s
stockholders. The plan committee may not exercise discretion to increase a payment due under the AFN cash bonus plan. Subject to applicable law, all decisions made by the plan committee regarding the AFN cash bonus plan are made in its sole
discretion and are final and binding. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Benefits Under the AFN Cash Bonus Plan</U>. In general, the benefits under the AFN cash bonus
plan consist of a cash bonus payable to participants upon the achievement of objective performance goals established by the plan committee. The target bonus amounts for each participant will be established by the plan committee, in its discretion,
at the start of each performance period. The maximum amount that can be paid to any one participant under the AFN cash bonus plan with respect to any one calendar year will not exceed $5,000,000. This limitation is not pro-rated for the first
performance period under the AFN cash bonus plan, even though the duration of that performance period is less than 12 months. This limitation may not be increased without stockholder approval. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The bases for such performance goals may include any of the following criteria: stock price, revenues, pretax income, operating income, cash flow,
earnings per share, return on equity, return on invested capital or assets, cost reductions and savings, return on revenues, productivity, level of managed assets, and near or long-term earnings potential, or any variation or combination of the
preceding business criteria, as determined by the plan committee. Performance goals may be stated with respect to our business as a whole, or with respect to a specified subsidiary, division or other operational unit. In addition, performance goals
may be stated in absolute terms or may be expressed relative to performance in a specified prior period or to the performance of other specified enterprises. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The plan committee may utilize as an additional performance measure (to the extent such criteria are objectively structured in a manner consistent with the tax rules relating to &#147;performance-based&#148;
compensation) the attainment by a participant of one or more of the following personal objectives and/or goals specified by the plan committee: implementation of AFN&#146;s policies, negotiation of significant corporate transactions, development of
long-term business goals or strategic plans, or the exercise of specific areas of managerial responsibility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In all such cases, however,
the measurement of corporate or individual achievement of any of these goals must be objectively determinable and is to be determined, to the extent applicable, according to GAAP as in existence on the date on which performance goal or goals for the
year in question were established. Since no performance goals have been set under the AFN cash bonus plan, or any other cash bonus plan, benefits that would have been payable for fiscal year 2008 are not determinable. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the terms of the AFN cash bonus plan, a performance period may be a full year or any portion of that year. The performance goals for an entire year
must be established no later than 90 days after the beginning of the year. In the event a performance period is established for less than a full year, then the goal or goals for that performance period must be established before the beginning of the
performance period, or within the first 25% of the performance period. The achievement of performance goals established under the AFN cash bonus plan must be certified by the plan committee in writing before any bonus may be paid. </FONT></P> <P

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Amendment and Termination of the AFN Cash Bonus Plan</U>. The AFN board of directors may terminate or
revoke the AFN cash bonus plan at any time and may amend the AFN cash bonus plan from time to time. However, no amendment will increase the annual per person limit on awards, expand the group of eligible participants or expand the business criteria
on which performance goals may be based without stockholder approval. The AFN cash bonus plan may also be modified or amended by the plan committee, as it deems appropriate, in order to comply with the tax rules related to deductibility of
&#147;performance-based&#148; compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Federal Tax Issues</U>. Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the
deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million to certain employees of publicly held companies (this limitation is referred to herein as the million dollar cap), unless the compensation comes within certain exceptions. One exception to the
million dollar cap is available for &#147;performance-based&#148; compensation. In order for taxable compensation to be within this exception to the million dollar cap, a number of requirements must be satisfied, including the establishment of
performance goals by a committee of two or more &#147;outside&#148; members of the AFN board of directors, disclosure to the stockholders of the material terms of the performance-based bonus arrangement under which the bonus is to be paid, and
approval by the stockholders of that arrangement. Additional rules apply to the ongoing administration of such an arrangement in order for compensation to qualify as performance-based. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Bonuses payable under the AFN cash bonus plan are intended to be provided only on the attainment of the performance goals established by the plan
committee for the year for which the bonus is paid. Assuming the AFN cash bonus plan is put into effect in accordance with its terms, is approved by AFN&#146;s stockholders, and is administered in accordance with the provisions set forth therein,
the taxable compensation payable under the AFN cash bonus plan should qualify as &#147;performance-based&#148; compensation and, therefore, is expected to be fully deductible by AFN. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Payments under the AFN cash bonus plan are expected to be taxable as ordinary income to participants upon receipt. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>New Plan Benefits</U>. Because payments under the AFN cash bonus plan depend on its implementation, including establishment of participation, future
performance of AFN and on AFN&#146;s actual performance during future performance periods, the actual amounts AFN will pay under the plan with respect to the first or any subsequent performance periods are not yet determinable. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board</U>. Approval of the AFN cash bonus plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast
by holders of AFN common stock, provided that the number of votes cast on the matter represents over 50% in interest of all securities entitled to vote on the matter. The AFN board of directors believes that the AFN cash bonus plan will complement
AFN&#146;s pay policies and plans by linking significant portions of executive compensation to the achievement of objective performance goals. In addition, the AFN board of directors believes that the AFN cash bonus plan will provide a uniform plan
document under which cash bonus awards can be provided as incentive to eligible participants. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>THE AFN BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFN&#146;s board of directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors. In order for a director to be considered &#147;independent,&#148; AFN&#146;s board of directors must affirmatively determine, based
upon its review of all relevant facts and circumstances and after considering all applicable relationships, if any, that each of the directors has no direct or indirect material relationship with AFN or its affiliates and satisfies the criteria for
independence established by the NYSE and the applicable rules promulgated by the SEC. AFN&#146;s board of directors has determined that each of the following members of the board of directors is independent: Rodney E. Bennett, Marc Chayette, Thomas
P. Costello, G. Steven Dawson, Jack Haraburda, Lance Ullom and Charles W. Wolcott. AFN&#146;s board of directors has determined that Daniel G. Cohen and James J. McEntee,&nbsp;III, its two other directors, are not independent because they are also
executive officers of AFN. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It is the policy of AFN&#146;s board of directors that the independent members of its board of directors meet

management directors two times. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Nomination of Directors </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

AFN&#146;s nominating and corporate governance committee may consider nominees recommended by management and stockholders using the criteria approved by the board of directors to evaluate all candidates. AFN&#146;s nominating and corporate
governance committee reviews each candidate&#146;s qualifications, including whether a candidate possesses any of the specific qualities and skills desirable for members of the board. Evaluations of candidates generally involve a review of
background materials, internal discussions and interviews with selected candidates as appropriate. Upon selection of a qualified candidate, AFN&#146;s nominating and corporate governance committee recommends the candidate for consideration by the
full board of directors. AFN&#146;s nominating and corporate governance committee may engage consultants or third-party search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees. Nominees for the board of directors should be committed
to enhancing long-term stockholder value and must possess a high level of personal and professional ethics, sound business judgment and integrity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

contribute to an effective board. In evaluating potential candidates for AFN&#146;s board of directors, AFN&#146;s nominating and corporate governance committee will consider these factors in light of the specific needs of the board at that time.

or one or more of its affiliates. AFN does not pay cash compensation to its executive officers. AFN also does not provide its executive officers with pension benefits, perquisites or other personal benefits to them. The only element of compensation
that AFN provides its executive officers is equity compensation pursuant to its 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, which is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the AFN equity plan. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFN&#146;s manager, by whom its executive officers are employed, pays the base salaries and bonuses to its executive officers. AFN does not control how such fees are allocated by its manager to its employees. AFN
understands that its manager takes into account the performance of its company as a factor in determining the compensation of its employees, and such compensation may be increased or decreased depending on AFN&#146;s performance. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The goal of AFN&#146;s equity compensation program is to motivate and retain the highly talented individuals needed to operate, acquire, develop and grow
AFN&#146;s business over the long-term. As such, AFN seeks to provide equity compensation that will support the achievement of its financial and growth goals and objectives. When its performance exceeds the goals and objectives established for a
particular performance period, AFN believes that its key personnel should be compensated appropriately. When its performance falls short of its financial or other objectives, AFN believes that its compensation committee should exercise its
discretion in determining the appropriate compensation for its key personnel. To help achieve its goals and objectives and appropriately compensate its key personnel in light of its short and long-term performance and growth, AFN has structured an
equity-based incentive compensation system designed to induce key personnel to remain with AFN and its manager and its affiliates, and encourage them to increase their efforts to make its business more successful. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFN&#146;s compensation committee annually reviews its compensation programs to ensure that incentive opportunities are competitive and reflect

key personnel may be provided with annual and long-term equity-based incentives granted under the AFN equity plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The AFN equity plan is the only element of compensation that is subject to AFN&#146;s discretion. The AFN equity plan is administered by AFN&#146;s
compensation committee, except that in certain circumstances the board of directors may act in its place. The purpose of the AFN equity plan is to induce key employees, directors, officers, advisors and consultants to continue providing services to
AFN and its subsidiaries and encourage them to increase their efforts to make AFN&#146;s business more successful, whether directly or through its subsidiaries or other affiliates. In furtherance of these objectives, the AFN equity plan is designed
to provide equity-based incentives to such persons in the form of options (including stock appreciation rights), restricted shares, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other forms of equity based awards as contemplated by the AFN equity
plan, with eligibility for such awards determined by AFN&#146;s compensation committee. AFN&#146;s compensation committee and board of directors believe that awards of restricted shares, typically vesting over a period of three years or more, are
the most effective of the equity-based incentives available under the AFN equity plan in accomplishing its compensation goals. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Equity-based awards to key personnel are generally subject to vesting periods in order to support the achievement of AFN&#146;s performance goals over the long-term and to help retain key personnel. AFN&#146;s compensation committee
determines the number and type of equity-based incentives that should be awarded from time to time to key personnel in light of AFN&#146;s compensation goals and objectives. AFN&#146;s compensation committee strongly believes that by providing
AFN&#146;s key personnel with the opportunity to increase their ownership of AFN&#146;s equity, the interests of stockholders and AFN&#146;s key personnel will be more closely aligned. In addition, so long as AFN remains an externally managed REIT,
AFN&#146;s compensation committee believes that an equity-based compensation is particularly appropriate for AFN. REIT regulations require AFN to pay at least 90% of its earnings to stockholders as dividends. As a result, AFN&#146;s compensation
committee believes that AFN&#146;s stockholders are principally interested in receiving attractive risk-adjusted dividends and growth in dividends and book value. Accordingly, AFN&#146;s compensation committee wants to provide an incentive to
AFN&#146;s key personnel that rewards success in achieving these goals. Since AFN does not have the ability to retain earnings, AFN&#146;s compensation committee believes that equity-based awards serve to align the interests of AFN&#146;s key
personnel with the interests of AFN&#146;s stockholders in receiving attractive risk-adjusted dividends and growth. AFN&#146;s compensation committee believes that equity-based awards are consistent with AFN&#146;s stockholders&#146; interest in
book value growth as these individuals will be incentivized to grow book value for stockholders over time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFN&#146;s compensation
committee does not use a specific formula to calculate the number of equity awards awarded to executive officers under the AFN equity plan. AFN&#146;s compensation committee does not explicitly set future award levels on the basis of what the
executive officers earned from prior awards. While AFN&#146;s compensation committee will take past levels into account, it will not solely base future awards in view of those past awards. Generally, in determining the specific amounts to be granted
to an individual, AFN&#146;s compensation committee will take into account factors such as the individual&#146;s position, his historical contribution and expected contribution to AFN, performance of AFN and stockholder return, market practices as
well as the recommendation of AFN&#146;s manager and executive officers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The compensation committee views equity-based compensation in
general as a device to align an individual&#146;s interests with those of AFN and its stockholders, and considers all factors that sustain or increase AFN performance and create stockholder value. </FONT></P> <P

shares of restricted common stock to Christian M. Carr, its chief accounting officer. AFN&#146;s compensation committee did not use specific metrics, or pre-established specific performance targets or formulae, in determining the amount of
restricted common stock to award to Messrs. Longino and Carr. Rather, the compensation committee focused on the factors described above in making its determination. In addition, AFN&#146;s compensation committee concluded that the award of
restricted common stock would create a long-term retention incentive for Messrs. Longino and Carr, who are the only AFN officers </FONT>

level it believed was appropriate to allow such officers a meaningful opportunity for reward. AFN&#146;s compensation committee also believed that the three year vesting of the restricted share awards created a sufficient future incentive element.
The material difference between Messrs. Longino and Carr was primarily based on their position, with the larger amount going to Mr.&nbsp;Longino, who is senior in position to Mr.&nbsp;Carr. The restricted awards will appreciate in value only if
AFN&#146;s common stock price increases in value. AFN did not award restricted stock or other forms of equity compensation to any of its other named executive officers in 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors in accordance with the audit committee charter. Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated
financial statements in accordance with GAAP. AFN&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of the consolidated financial statements and an audit of the effective operation of AFN&#146;s internal
control over financial reporting. The audit committee&#146;s responsibility is to oversee and review these processes. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent
registered public accounting firm the audited financial statements in the annual report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, including discussions regarding critical accounting policies, other financial accounting and
reporting principles and practices appropriate for AFN, the quality of such principles and practices, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee also reviewed and
discussed with management and Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm, AFN&#146;s internal controls over financial reporting, including a review of management&#146;s and the independent registered public
accounting firm&#146;s assessments of and reports on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and discussed with management and the independent registered public
accounting firm, as applicable, the process used to support certifications by AFN&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that are required by the SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley to accompany AFN&#146;s periodic filings with the SEC.

currently in effect, discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, and satisfied itself as to their independence. When considering the independence of the

consolidated financial statements, including in its quarterly reports on Form&nbsp;10-Q, was compatible with maintaining their independence. The audit committee also reviewed, among other things, the audit and non-audit services performed by, and
the amount of fees paid for such services to, the independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the maters required to be discussed by generally accepted
auditing standards, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No.&nbsp;61, as amended, &#147;Communication with Audit Committees,&#148; SAS No.&nbsp;99, &#147;Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit,&#148; and

aligns the interests of its executive officers through the use of equity-based awards. Accordingly, the board of managers adopted the Amended 2005 Key Employee Unit Option Plan which permits the grant of options to purchase Cohen membership units
and other equity based awards. In addition, Cohen&#146;s operating agreement permits the board of managers to issue LTIP units as consideration to persons who provide services to Cohen. Except as noted below, each LTIP unit is treated as a combined
unit consisting of a single Cohen Class&nbsp;A membership unit and a single Cohen Class B membership unit with all of the rights, privileges and obligations of Cohen Class&nbsp;A and Cohen Class B membership units. An LTIP unit participates in
routine distributions on the same basis as Cohen Class&nbsp;A membership units and Cohen Class B membership units but does not participate in distributions generated from capital transactions, as defined in the Cohen operating agreement. LTIP units
have no voting rights. Once vested, a LTIP unit can generally be converted to a Cohen Class&nbsp;A and a Cohen Class B membership unit upon certain events. In general, unvested LTIP units vest upon a change of control as defined in the grant
agreement covering the LTIP award. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In connection with the issuance of long-term incentive awards and the absence of a public trading

awards, motivation and retention, and the effect of expensing such grants as required by SFAS&nbsp;No. 123(R). As a private company, Cohen has been less sensitive to these concerns than a typical publicly traded company. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes additional taxes on non-qualified deferred compensation plans (which can include a variety of
plans, contracts, agreement and arrangements, including certain severance or similar arrangements) that do not comply with its requirements. These requirements regulate an individual&#146;s election to defer compensation, the individual&#146;s and
the employer&#146;s selection of the timing and form of distribution of the deferred compensation, and limit later modifications or exercise of discretion regarding the timing or form of payment of deferred compensation. Internal Revenue Code
Section&nbsp;409A generally also provides that distributions of deferred compensation only can be made on or following the occurrence of certain events (e.g., the individual&#146;s separation from service, a predetermined date, a change in control
or ownership of the employer or the individual&#146;s death or disability). For certain &#147;key employees,&#148; Internal Revenue Code Section&nbsp;409A requires that where such individual&#146;s distribution is based on his or her separation from
service, the payment of his or her deferred compensation commence no earlier than six months after such employee&#146;s separation from service. Cohen has endeavored to structure its compensation arrangements to comply with Internal Revenue Code
Section&nbsp;409A so as to avoid the adverse tax consequences associated therewith. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="toc44913_203"></A>Employment Agreements </B></FONT></P> <P

following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of the combined company give effect to the business combination as if the business combination had been completed as of the beginning of the period presented with respect to the
pro forma statements of operations, and as of June&nbsp;30, 2009, with respect to the pro forma balance sheet. We have adjusted the historical consolidated financial statements of both Cohen and AFN to give effect to pro forma events that are
(1)&nbsp;directly attributable to the business combination, (2)&nbsp;factually supportable and (3)&nbsp;with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The historical per share amounts of
AFN in this section have been adjusted to reflect the AFN reverse stock split that is required to occur prior to the completion of the business combination. The manner in which Cohen and AFN calculate pro forma financial information may differ from
similarly titled measures reported by other companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this
proxy statement/prospectus are presented for informational purposes only. This information includes various estimates and may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition or results of operations that would have occurred if the business
combination had been completed on the date or at the beginning of the periods indicated above. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results
of the resulting combined company. These statements do not give effect to (1)&nbsp;AFN&#146;s or Cohen&#146;s results of operations or other transactions or developments since June&nbsp;30, 2009, (2)&nbsp;the impact of possible enhancements, expense
efficiencies or synergies expected to result from the business combination, or (3)&nbsp;the effects of events or developments that may occur subsequent to the business combination. The foregoing matters could cause both the combined company&#146;s
pro forma historical financial position and results of operations, and the combined company&#146;s actual future financial position and results of operations, to differ materially from those presented in the accompanying unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Cohen and
AFN, which are included in this proxy statement/prospectus. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

statements give effect to the business combination in a transaction to be accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;141(R), and as if the acquisition of AFN had been completed as of June&nbsp;30, 2009, for
balance sheet purposes, and at the beginning of the periods presented for statements of operations purposes. The business combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly, from an accounting perspective, Cohen will be treated as
the acquirer. Cohen will record the acquisition of AFN&#146;s assets and the assumption of AFN&#146;s liabilities at their estimated fair values as of the effective date of the business combination. The consideration transferred (that is, the
purchase price or cost of the business combination) will be equal to the market capitalization of AFN&#146;s common stock as of the effective date of the business combination. </FONT></P>  <P

operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the business combination had been completed during the period or as of the dates for which the pro forma data is presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating
results or financial position of the combined company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purchase price for AFN has been allocated to the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed based upon management&#146;s preliminary estimate of their respective fair values as of the assumed date of acquisition as described above. The purchase price allocation reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements is preliminary, and final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price (market capitalization) and the fair value of the actual assets and liabilities of AFN as of the date of the completion of
the business combination. Accordingly, the actual purchase accounting adjustments will likely differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected in these statements. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Certain reclassifications have been made to the AFN historical balances in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements in order to
conform to the Cohen presentation. While Cohen and AFN have completed a preliminary review of their respective accounting and financial reporting policies as compared to those used by the other company, this review is ongoing and will continue until
completion of the business combination. As such, additional reclassifications or pro forma adjustments may be identified. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Note&nbsp;2 &#150; Purchase

stockholders&#146; equity and the purchase accounting allocations identified above include the effects of accounting for each of the underlying assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs as separate units of account. However, if for accounting
purposes AFN were to use the notional amounts of preference shares or subordinated interests that it directly owns as the unit of account, its net asset value would be materially different. As of June 30, 2009, AFN estimates the aggregate fair value
of its investments in preference shares and subordinated interests of consolidated VIEs to be approximately $3.3&nbsp;million. Therefore, if for accounting purposes AFN were to use the notional amounts of preference shares or subordinated interests
that it directly owns as the unit of account and it were to value these interests at its estimated fair value of $3.3 million, then its net controlling equity would be approximately $52.6 million and the resulting bargain purchase would be

SIZE="2">We have audited Alesco Financial Inc.&#146;s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Alesco Financial Inc.&#146;s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting included in the accompanying Management&#146;s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A company&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company&#146;s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following
material weakness has been identified and included in management&#146;s assessment. Management has identified a material weakness in controls related to certain of the Company&#146;s valuation processes that were not designed and operating
effectively. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2008 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated August 17, 2009 on those
financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives
of the control criteria, Alesco Financial Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria. </FONT></P> <P

Financial Trust completed the sale of 11,107,570 common shares of beneficial interest at an offering price of $10.00 per share in a private offering. Alesco Financial Trust received proceeds from this offering of $102.4 million, net of placement

beneficial interest of Alesco Financial Trust was converted into 1.26 shares of common stock of Sunset Financial Resources, Inc. (&#147;Sunset&#148;), which resulted in the issuance of 14,415,530 shares of common stock. In accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;) the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, and Alesco Financial Trust was deemed to be the accounting acquirer and all of Sunset&#146;s assets and liabilities were required

&#147;Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;51&#148; (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;160&#148;). SFAS No.&nbsp;160 requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority)
interests as equity (as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 applies prospectively as of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. As of January&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;160 and the
adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160 resulted in the following changes to the presentation of the Company&#146;s prior period consolidated financial statements: (1)&nbsp;reclassified all amounts previously included within the &#147;Minority interests&#148;
financial statement caption to the &#147;Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries&#148; financial statement caption, which is included within the equity section of the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements; (2)&nbsp;consolidated net

Settlement),&#148; or FSP APB 14-1, which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers to account separately for the
liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer&#146;s nonconvertible, unsecured debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. The equity component is presented in parent
stockholders&#146; equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt is recognized as part of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. FSP APB 14-1 requires companies to retroactively apply the requirements of the
pronouncement to all periods presented. As of January&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP APB 14-1 and the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 have been retroactively restated for the adoption,

(&#147;FIN 46R&#148;). The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;160, &#147;Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No.&nbsp;51&#148; (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;160&#148;) on January&nbsp;1, 2009. Accordingly, for consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly owned, the third-party holdings of equity interests are referred to as noncontrolling interests. The
portion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of income, and the portion of the stockholders&#146;
equity of such subsidiaries is presented as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries on the consolidated balance sheets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The creditors of
each variable interest entity (&#147;VIE&#148;) consolidated within the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company&#146;s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its
involvement with each VIE is the capital that the Company has invested in warehouse first-loss deposits and the preference shares or debt of the CDO, CLO or other types of securitization structures. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When the Company obtains an explicit or implicit interest in an entity, the Company
evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is a VIE, and, if so, whether or not the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE in accordance with FIN 46R. The Company consolidates VIEs of which the Company is deemed to be the
primary beneficiary or non-VIEs which the Company controls. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the variable interest holder that absorbs the majority of the variability in the expected losses or potentially the residual returns of the VIE. When
determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers its aggregate explicit and implicit variable interests as a single variable interest. If the Company&#146;s variable interest absorbs the majority of the variability in the expected
losses or the residual returns of the VIE, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company reconsiders its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE if
certain events occur. If the Company determines that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the deconsolidation of the VIE is accounted for as a sale of the entity for no proceeds. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has determined that certain special purpose trusts formed by third party issuers of TruPS to issue such securities are VIEs (&#147;Trust
VIEs&#148;) and that the holder of the majority of the TruPS issued by the Trust VIEs would be the primary beneficiary of the special purpose trust. In most instances, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the Trust VIEs because it holds, either
explicitly or implicitly, the majority of the TruPS issued by the Trust VIEs. The acquisition of TruPS issued by Trust VIEs may be initially financed directly by CDOs, through on-balance sheet warehouse facilities or through off-balance sheet
warehouse facilities. Under the TruPS-related off-balance sheet warehouse agreements, the Company usually deposits cash collateral with an investment bank and bears the first dollar risk of loss, up to the Company&#146;s collateral deposit, if an
investment held under the warehouse facility is liquidated at a loss. This arrangement causes the Company to hold an implicit interest in the Trust VIEs that issued TruPS held by warehouse providers. The primary assets of the Trust VIEs are
subordinated debentures issued by third party sponsors of the Trust VIEs in exchange for the TruPS proceeds and the common equity securities of the Trust VIE. These subordinated debentures have terms that mirror the TruPS issued by the Trust VIEs.
Upon consolidation of the Trust VIEs, these subordinated debentures, which are assets of the Trust VIE, are included in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements and the related TruPS are eliminated. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue No.&nbsp;85-1: &#147;Classifying Notes Received for Capital Stock,&#148; subordinated debentures issued to Trust VIEs as payment for common equity securities issued by Trust VIEs to third party sponsors are recorded net of the common equity

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The fair value of the Company&#146;s financial instruments is generally based on observable market prices
or inputs or derived from such prices or inputs, provided that such information is available. When quoted market prices are not available because certain financial instruments do not actively trade in the public markets, fair value is based on
comparisons to similar instruments or from internal valuation models. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the
financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of financial instrument, its age, whether the financial instrument is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, the current market
conditions, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. 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 the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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, the Company&#146;s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses 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 reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 3. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Many financial instruments have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the
lowest price that the Company and others are willing to accept for an asset. For financial instruments whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices, the Company does not require that fair value always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. The
Company&#146;s policy is to allow for mid-market pricing and adjusting to the point within the bid-ask range that results in the Company&#146;s best estimate of fair value. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fair value for certain of the Company&#146;s Level 3 financial instruments is derived using internal valuation models. These internal valuation models

with SFAS No.&nbsp;157, the impact of the Company&#146;s own credit and creditworthiness of consolidated CDOs is also considered when measuring the fair value of 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 upon observable inputs where available. Management&#146;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&#146;s assumptions. </FONT></P> <P

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities&#148; (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;159&#148;). SFAS No.&nbsp;159 provides entities with an irrevocable option to report most financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with subsequent
changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis. SFAS No.&nbsp;159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities, and became effective for the Company on January&nbsp;1, 2008. The Company elected to apply the fair value option for its investments in TruPS and TruPS security-related
receivables, MBS, TruPS CDO notes payable, MBS CDO notes payable, and TruPS obligations. The Company has elected the fair value option for these instruments to enhance the transparency of its financial condition. The transition adjustment to
beginning accumulated deficit that was recorded as of January&nbsp;1, 2008 due to the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;159 was an increase to retained earnings of $1.1 billion. The following table presents information about the eligible instruments for

its investments in debt securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;115, &#147;Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,&#148; as amended and interpreted (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;115&#148;), and
designates each investment as a trading security, an available-for-sale security, or a held-to-maturity security based on management&#146;s intent at the time of acquisition. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;115, 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). Fair
value of investments subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 is described above. The following relates to available-for-sale securities prior to the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;157. Fair value of investments is based on quoted market prices
from independent pricing sources, or when quoted market prices are not available because certain securities do not actively trade in the public markets, based on comparisons to similar instruments or from internal pricing models. These internal
valuation models include discounted cash flow analyses developed by management using current interest rates, estimates of the term of the particular contract, specific issuer information and other market data for securities without an active market.
Management&#146;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&#146;s assumptions. Upon
the sale of a security, the realized gain or loss is computed on a specific identification basis and is recorded as a component of earnings in the respective period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

value, with changes in fair value of these instruments reported in income. Unamortized premiums and discounts on trading securities that are highly rated are recognized over the contractual life, adjusted for estimated prepayments using the
effective interest method. For securities representing beneficial interests in securitizations that are not highly rated (i.e., subordinate tranches of MBS), unamortized premiums and discounts are recognized over the contractual life, adjusted for
estimated prepayments and estimated credit losses of the securities using the effective interest method. Actual prepayment and credit loss experience are reviewed quarterly and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between
prepayments and credit losses originally anticipated compared to amounts actually received plus anticipated future prepayments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Effective
January&nbsp;1, 2008, the Company accounts for its investments in subordinated debentures owned by Trust VIEs that the Company consolidates at fair value, with changes in fair value of these instruments reported in income. These Trust VIEs have no
ability to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise encumber a company or the assets of a company until such subordinated debenture&#146;s maturity. The Company accounts for investments in securities where the transfer meets the criteria as a secured

Derivatives qualifying and designated as cash-flow hedges are evaluated at inception and at subsequent balance sheet dates in order to determine whether they qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No.&nbsp;133. The hedge instrument must be highly
effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged in order to qualify for hedge accounting. Derivative contracts are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. For
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings.
Realized gains and losses on terminated contracts that were designated as hedges are maintained in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and amortized into the consolidated statement of income over the contractual life of the terminated
contract unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. In that case, the gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of income. The

of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities&#148; (&#147;FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8&#148;). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 amends FAS 140 and FIN 46(R) to require additional disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets
and interest in variable interest entities. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after December&nbsp;15, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, &#147;Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No.&nbsp;99-20, and EITF Issue No.&nbsp;99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased
and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets&#148; (&#147;FSP EITF 99-20-1&#148;). FSP EITF 99-20-1 changes the impairment model included within EITF 99-20 to be more consistent with the impairment model of SFAS No.&nbsp;115.
FSP EITF 99-20-1 achieves this by amending the impairment model in EITF 99-20 to remove its exclusive reliance on &#147;market participant&#148; estimates of future cash flows used in determining fair value. Changing the cash flows used to analyze
other-than-temporary impairment from the &#147;market participant&#148; view to a holder&#146;s estimate of whether there has been a &#147;probable&#148; adverse change in estimated cash flows allows companies to apply reasonable judgment in
assessing whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The adoption of FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements because all of our investments in debt securities are classified as trading
securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>NOTE 3: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fair value for certain of the Company&#146;s 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 contract, specific issuer information and other market data for securities without an active market. The credit
markets in the United States began suffering significant disruption in the summer of 2007. This disruption began in the subprime residential mortgage sector and extended to the broader credit and financial markets generally. During the third quarter
of 2008, it became clear that the global economy has been adversely impacted by the credit crisis. Available liquidity, particularly through asset-backed securities (ABS) CDOs and other securitizations, declined precipitously during the second half
of 2007, and continued to decline in 2008. Concerns about the capital adequacy of financial services companies, disruptions in global credit markets, volatility in commodities prices and continued pricing declines in the U.S. housing market have led
to further disruptions in the financial markets, adversely affected regional banks and have exacerbated the longevity and severity of the credit crisis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

its determination of the appropriate assumptions to use in the determination of fair value. While attempting to develop assumptions that would be used by a market participant, the Company noted that the limited access to and quality of external
market data would increase the range of estimates that could be considered fair value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>TruPS and TruPS Security-Related Receivables </U></FONT></P> <P

ongoing disruption in the housing market and the downturn in the overall economy, the non-agency subprime, Alt-A, and prime jumbo mortgage backed securities market experienced significant turmoil in 2007 and 2008, and the amount of current trading
activity was extremely limited. As a result, the methods used to derive pricing for the Company&#146;s MBS portfolio were limited to pricing services and broker quotes. In many instances, both the differential between the prices received from
different sources for the same security and the bid/ask spread widened significantly as compared to prior periods. These factors were considered by the Company in making judgments as to the appropriate estimates of fair value, and the Company noted
these factors would increase the range of estimates that could be considered fair value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company
estimated that the fair value of its MBS portfolio was, on average, approximately $18 for every $100 of par, based on its best estimate of fair value for each individual MBS. However, the Company notes that the range of fair value estimates for
these securities is wide and that different market participants may arrive at different estimates based on how a market participant may evaluate the characteristics of individual securities, combined with judgments regarding the timing of economic
recovery, and changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds. If the Company were to value the MBS portfolio using the average dollar price at the high and low point of an estimated range that was determined to be 10% above or below the average
dollar price of $18, it would result in the fair value of the MBS portfolio increasing by $46 million or decreasing by $(46) million as compared to the amount recorded in the financial statements. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The market conditions described above also had an impact on the volume of observable inputs available to the Company in estimating the fair value of the CDO notes payable and trust preferred obligations that finance
the Company&#146;s MBS and TruPS portfolios. The MBS and TruPS assets serve as the sole source of collateral and cash flows for the MBS and TruPS CDO notes payable and trust preferred obligations. As a result, the Company generally expects that
there will be significant correlation between its fair value estimates of the CDO notes payable and its fair value estimates for the associated MBS and TruPS assets. This expected price correlation between the underlying assets and the CDO notes
payable is consistent with what the Company has experienced and observed in the market during 2008. The Company believes that this correlation is consistent with the expectations that a CDO market participant would consider in evaluating the CDO
notes payable. During the market turmoil, the pricing of the both the MBS and TruPS assets has been driven substantially by concerns related to credit risk (as opposed to interest rates or other factors that also impact pricing) and thus the
ultimate collectability of the principal balances of the assets. As the market&#146;s views regarding the realizability of the collateral have priced in significant concern about the ability to realize future principal and interest collections,
inherent in any valuation of the CDO notes payable are similar market views regarding the credit risk associated with the assets serving as collateral. However, changes in market conditions may significantly impact the degree of this correlation.
For example, changes in market conditions, such as supply and demand, which change perceptions regarding the benefits or risks associated with investments in CDO debt instruments may not impact a market participant&#146;s assessment of the specific
credit risk of individual TruPS. If the Company were to value the MBS and TruPS CDO notes payable using the average dollar price at the high and low point of an estimated range that was determined to be 10% above or below the average dollar price of
$21, it would result in the fair value of these instruments increasing by $165 million or decreasing by $(165) million as compared to the amount recorded in the financial statements. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While market conditions existing at December&nbsp;31, 2008 may cause significant variability in fair value estimates of the Company&#146;s Consolidated investments in TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables,
mortgage-backed securities and related MBS and TruPS CDO notes payable and trust preferred obligations, the non-recourse nature of these assets and liabilities to the Company means that changes by the Company to recorded fair values of such
instruments in the Company&#146;s financial statements do not have a material economic impact on the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The maximum loss from
investments in TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables is limited to the aggregate $219 million that the Company originally invested in the eight TruPS CDO entities through purchases of preference shares. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the TruPS
CDO entities, which the Company consolidates in accordance with FIN 46R, have experienced $250.5 million of bank and insurance company defaults and $300 million of securities currently deferring interest, or 10.7% of the Company&#146;s combined
TruPS portfolio. The TruPS deferrals and defaults described above have resulted in the over-collateralization tests being triggered in all eight TruPS CDOs. The trigger of an over-collateralization test in a TruPS CDO means that the Company, as a
holder of preference shares and subordinated interests, will no longer receive current distributions of cash in respect of such interests until sufficient cash or collateral is retained in the CDOs to cure the over-collateralization tests, and the
Company cannot predict when or if such an event will occur. For this reason, the Company believes the fair value of its investments in preference shares and subordinated interests in the TruPS CDO entities is negligible and, therefore, changes by
the Company to recorded fair values of the underlying TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables collateral within the ranges described above would not have a material economic impact on the Company. </FONT></P> <P

and IV) is limited to the $90 million that was originally invested by the Company into these Kleros Real Estate CDOs through purchases of equity interests. All of the Kleros Real Estate CDOs are governed by indentures that provide the Company with
no rights to the CDO&#146;s assets and provide the CDO noteholders with no recourse to the assets of the Company. The Company consolidates the Kleros Real Estate CDOs in accordance with FIN 46R, which requires that the Company records the financial
position and results of operations of the CDOs in the consolidated financial statements, without consideration that the Company&#146;s maximum economic exposure to loss is $90 million. The Kleros Real Estate CDOs have all failed
over-collateralization tests as a result of significant ratings agency downgrade activity and are no longer making cash distributions to the Company related to its equity interests. The net cash flows of the Kleros Real Estate CDOs are currently
being used to pay down the controlling class debtholders in each of the Kleros Real Estate CDOs. As previously disclosed, the Company has received written notice from the trustees of Kleros Real Estate I, II, and IV that each CDO experienced an
event of default. These events of default resulted from the failure of certain additional over-collateralization tests primarily due to credit rating agency downgrades. The events of default provide the controlling class debtholder in each CDO with
the option to liquidate all of the MBS assets collateralizing the particular CDO. The proceeds of any such liquidation would be used to repay the controlling class debtholder. As a result of these circumstances, the Company believes that the fair
value of the Company&#146;s equity interests in the Kleros Real Estate CDOs is zero, and that changes by the Company to the recorded fair value of the underlying mortgage backed securities collateral within the ranges described above would not have
a material economic impact on the Company. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the aggregate principal amount of investments in the 35 TruPS investments
that have defaulted or are currently deferring interest payments is $551.0 million, representing approximately 10.7% of the Company&#146;s combined TruPS portfolio. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the $250.5 million of defaulted securities, which
includes securities issued by IndyMac Bancorp, have been completely written-off in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, investment interest income is net of a $20.4 million reserve for
interest income related to the $551.0 million of currently deferring or defaulted securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The TruPS deferrals and defaults described
above have resulted in the over-collateralization tests being triggered in all eight CDOs in which the Company holds equity interests. The trigger of an over-collateralization test in a TruPS CDO means that the Company, as a holder of equity
securities, will not receive current distributions of cash in respect of its equity interests until sufficient cash or collateral is retained in the CDOs to cure the over-collateralization tests. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">At December&nbsp;31, 2008 approximately 68% of the Company&#146;s investments in RMBS were rated below AAA. Additionally, 17% of RMBS have a
weighted-average FICO score less than 625 (generally considered to be subprime). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Proceeds from the sales of investments were $17.5 million
and $998.6 million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company utilized a significant portion of the proceeds to pay down short-term financing related to these investments during the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2007. Included within loss on the sale of assets in the consolidated statements of income (loss) are gross realized losses of $3.0 million and $13.6 million during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For purposes of
determining realized losses, the cost of securities sold is based on specific identification. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As previously disclosed, we received written
notice from the trustees of Kleros Real Estate I, II, III, and IV that each CDO experienced an event of default. These events of default resulted from the failure of certain additional over-collateralization tests primarily due to credit rating
agency downgrades. The events of default provide the controlling class debtholder in each CDO with the option to liquidate all of the MBS assets collateralizing the particular CDO. The proceeds of any such liquidation will be used to repay the
controlling class debtholder. As of the current date, the controlling class debtholders of Kleros Real Estate I, II and IV have not exercised their rights to liquidate any of the CDOs. As previously disclosed, Kleros Real Estate III was liquidated
in June 2008. Upon the commencement of the liquidation process the Company determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of Kleros Real Estate III, and in accordance with FIN 46(R) deconsolidated the Kleros Real Estate III entity from its
consolidated financial statements in June 2008. Since the Company is not receiving any cash flow from its investments in any of the Kleros Real Estate CDOs, the events of default described above do not have any further impact on the Company&#146;s
cash flows. However, the assets of the Kleros Real Estate I, II and IV CDOs and the income they generate for tax purposes are a component of the Company&#146;s REIT qualifying assets and income. If more than one of the three remaining Kleros Real
Estate CDOs is liquidated, the Company may have to deploy additional capital into REIT qualifying assets in order to continue to qualify as a REIT. If the Company is not able to invest in sufficient other REIT qualifying assets, its ability to
qualify as a REIT could be materially adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Substantially all of the Company&#146;s investments in TruPS, subordinated
debentures and MBS collateralize debt issued through consolidated CDO entities, consolidated Trust VIEs, or warehouse credit facilities. Consolidated CDO entities are generally subject to an indenture which dictates substantially all of the
operating activities of the CDO. These indentures generally require that certain credit quality and over-collateralization tests are met. To the extent a CDO fails to pass such tests, cash flows from the assets may be directed to be used to repay
the CDO debt obligations. The assets of the Company&#146;s consolidated CDOs collateralize the debt of such entities and are not available to the Company&#146;s general creditors. Similarly, the debt of such entities is not recourse to the Company.

for sale category and as a result recorded an unrealized loss of $101.0&nbsp;million on the leveraged loans included in the warehouse facility. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that it no longer had the intent to hold these
particular loans to maturity or for the foreseeable future. The warehouse facility that provides short-term financing for approximately $164.8 million of par value of leveraged loans is scheduled to mature in May 2009. Prior to the May 2009 maturity
date, the Company does not expect that the warehouse lender will offer us favorable refinancing terms or the ability to extend the warehouse facility. If the securitization markets remain effectively closed through the May 2009 maturity date, the
Company will likely lose the first loss cash that is deposited with the warehouse lender in the amount of $39.0 million, which is the maximum amount of loss that the Company is exposed to from the warehouse facility. </FONT></P> <P

consolidated financial statements include recourse indebtedness of $77.7 million and $189.6 million, respectively, as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007. Non-recourse indebtedness consists of indebtedness of consolidated VIEs (i.e. CDOs, CLOs and
other securitization vehicles) which is recourse only to specific assets pledged as collateral to the lenders. The creditors of each consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the
Company&#146;s maximum exposure to economic loss as a result of its involvement with each VIE is the $460.9 million of capital that the Company has invested in warehouse first-loss deposits and the preference shares or debt of the CDO, CLO or other
types of securitization structures. None of the indebtedness shown in the table above subjects the Company to potential margin calls for additional pledges of cash or other assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, the change in fair value of derivative contracts
included the impact of the reclassification to the income statement of $48.6 million of cash flow hedge losses that were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The reclassifications resulted from the Company&#146;s
determination that the forecasted transactions that the instruments hedge are no longer probable of occurring due to the likelihood of or actual liquidation of our Kleros Real Estate I, II, III and IV portfolios. </FONT></P> <P

various interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate exposure relating to CDO notes payable and warehouse credit facilities that are used to finance investments in our target asset classes. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Prior to January&nbsp;1, 2008, the Company designated interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges at inception and determined at each reporting
period whether or not the interest rate swap contracts are highly effective in offsetting interest rate fluctuations associated with the identified indebtedness. Certain of the Company&#146;s interest rate swap contracts were not designated as
interest rate hedges at inception, therefore the change in fair value during the period in which the interest rate swap contracts were not designated as hedges was recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swap contracts in the
consolidated statements of income (loss). Effective January&nbsp;1, 2008, we adopted the fair value option under SFAS No.&nbsp;159 for our TruPS and MBS CDO notes payable and therefore, have discontinued hedge accounting for all of the interest rate
swaps associated with those transactions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the maximum length of time over which the Company was hedging its
exposure to the variability of future cash flows for forecasted transactions is approximately 9 years. Based on amounts included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 from designated interest rate swaps, the
Company expects to recognize a decrease of $3.0 million in interest expense over the next twelve months. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Credit Default Swaps </I></B></FONT></P> <P

June 2008 sale, the Company no longer holds any investments in CDS. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During October 2007, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a derivative arrangement with a third party. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to make payments to the third party in the event that the
Class&nbsp;A-1 Notes of Alesco Preferred Funding XIV, Ltd. (Alesco XIV CDO) fails to: (1)&nbsp;make scheduled principal or interest payments on its $430 million senior secured notes due in 2037; and (2)&nbsp;the debt issued by a particular insurance
issuer that collateralizes Alesco XIV defaults. The notional amount of the contract is $8.8 million. The Company is also subject to margin requirements in the event that the Class&nbsp;A-1 Notes of the Alesco XIV CDO are downgraded below AAA.
Subsequent to December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Class&nbsp;A-1 Notes of the Alesco XIV CDO were downgraded to &#147;A+&#148; and as a result the Company will be required to post approximately $2.2 million of margin collateral. The maximum amount of the
margin exposure is equal to the notional amount of the contract and the amount of required margin varies based upon the Company&#146;s outstanding equity balance and the rating level assigned to the Alesco XIV Class&nbsp;A-1 Notes. </FONT></P> <P

for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially
adversely affect the Company&#146;s net income and cash available for distributions to shareholders. However, the Company believes that it will be organized and operated in such a manner as to continue to qualify for treatment as a REIT. The Company
may be subject to certain state and local taxes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes as it relates to the

SIZE="2">On October&nbsp;10, 2008, the Company was notified by the NYSE that it was not in compliance with an NYSE continued listing standard applicable to its common stock. The standard requires that the average closing price of any listed security
not fall below $1.00 per share for any consecutive 30 trading-day period. On October&nbsp;15, 2008, the Company notified the NYSE of its intent to cure this deficiency. Under the NYSE rules, the Company has six months from the date of the NYSE
notice to comply with the NYSE minimum share price standard. If the Company is not compliant by that date, its common stock will be subject to suspension and delisting by the NYSE. After exploring different alternatives for curing the deficiency and
restoring compliance with the continued listing standards, the Company currently expects to effectuate a 1 for 10 reverse split of its common stock. The Company&#146;s common stock remains listed on the NYSE under the symbol &#147;AFN.&#148; The
NYSE&#146;s continued listing standards also require that the Company&#146;s average market capitalization be at least $25 million over any 30 consecutive trading day period and that it maintain its REIT status. On February&nbsp;26, 2009, the NYSE
submitted to the SEC an immediately effective rule filing which suspends the NYSE&#146;s $1 minimum price requirement on a temporary basis, initially through June&nbsp;30, 2009. Further, the filing also extends until the same date the NYSE&#146;s
current easing of the average global market capitalization standard from $25 million to $15 million. In addition to being delisted due to the Company&#146;s failure to comply with any of these continued listing standards, it will also likely be
delisted if it fails to meet any other of the NYSE&#146;s listing standards. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>NOTE 14: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS </B></FONT></P> <P

merger, (i)&nbsp;members who own Class&nbsp;A units of membership interests and Class&nbsp;B units of membership interests in Cohen will have the option to exchange each of their membership units in Cohen for either 0.57372 shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock or 0.57372 replacement units of membership interest in Cohen and (ii)&nbsp;Daniel G. Cohen, who owns Class&nbsp;C units of membership interest in Cohen, will be entitled to receive one share of our Series A Voting
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is referred to herein as the Series A share. The Series A share will have no economic rights but will entitle the holder thereof to elect one-third of our board of directors. In 2010,
the holder of the Series A share may convert the Series A share into our Series B Voting Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which will have no economic rights but will entitle such holder to vote together with our
stockholders on all matters presented to our stockholders and to exercise approximately 31.5% of the voting power of our common stock. The replacement units of membership interests in Cohen may be exchanged into an equivalent number of our common
stock at any time in the future. Holders of the Company&#146;s common stock will continue to hold their shares of the Company. It is currently expected that the Company&#146;s current shareholders will own 62.4% of the Company&#146;s shares of
common stock immediately after the merger and former unit holders of Cohen will hold the balance; however, the actual percentages will not be known until members of Cohen have made their elections to receive the Company&#146;s common stock or
replacement units of Cohen. If all Cohen membership interests were to be converted into the Company&#146;s common stock shares, the Company&#146;s current shareholders would own 38.5%, and former Cohen members would own 61.5%, of the combined
company. Cohen will be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The proposed merger, which is expected to close during the second
half of 2009, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the receipt of third party consents and other conditions set forth in the definitive merger agreement. In addition, the merger is subject to approval by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast by holders of the Company&#146;s common stock, provided that the number of votes cast on the matter is over 50% of the votes entitled to be cast on the proposal. </FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">On February&nbsp;27, 2009, Cohen sold each of the Emporia I, II and III collateral management contracts (the Company has equity interests in Emporia II and III) to an unrelated third party.&nbsp;The sale of the collateral management
contracts results in a servicer default within our leveraged loan warehouse facility and therefore, the terms of the warehouse facility require that all principal and interest proceeds be utilized to amortize the warehouse lender&#146;s outstanding
debt balance. The leveraged loan warehouse facility was scheduled to terminate in May 2009. The sale of the Emporia II and III collateral management contracts required the Company&#146;s consent.&nbsp;In consideration for the Company&#146;s consent
to enter into such transaction, Cohen and the Company entered into an arrangement that requires Cohen to pay $3 million to the Company.&nbsp;The purpose of the payment is to compensate the Company for amounts that it would have otherwise received
had the servicer default not occurred within the leveraged loan warehouse agreement. Additionally, Cohen and the Company agreed that the Company shall be permitted to continue to offset the monthly base management fee and the quarterly incentive fee
by the Company&#146;s proportionate share of the collateral management fees paid in Emporia II and III. In the event that our proposed merger with Cohen is consummated, Cohen shall not be obligated to pay such amount to the Company.&nbsp;If the
merger agreement with Cohen is terminated, such amount shall be paid by Cohen to the Company within 10 business days of the termination date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On February&nbsp;20, 2009, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company, the parent of the Company&#146;s manager. The Company&#146;s Board of Directors and Cohen&#146;s Board of
Managers have each unanimously approved the transaction. In the proposed merger, Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company will merge with a subsidiary of the Company and will survive the merger as a subsidiary of the Company. In the proposed merger,
(i)&nbsp;members who own Class&nbsp;A units of membership interest and Class&nbsp;B units of membership interest in Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company will have the option to exchange their membership units in Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company for either 0.57372
shares of the Company&#146;s common stock or 0.57372 replacement units of membership interest in Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company and (ii)&nbsp;Daniel G. Cohen, who owns Class&nbsp;C units of membership interest in Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company, will be entitled
to receive one share of our Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is referred to herein as the Series A share. The Series A share will have no economic rights but will entitle the holder thereof to elect a
number equal to at least one-third (but less than a majority) of our board of directors. Beginning in July 2010, the holder of the Series A share may convert the Series A share into our Series B Voting Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 per share (referred to herein as the Series B shares), which will have no economic rights but will entitle such holder to vote together with our stockholders on all matters presented to our stockholders and to exercise approximately 31.9% of
the voting power of our common stock. Any outstanding Series A share and Series B shares shall be redeemed by us on December&nbsp;31, 2012 for cash equal to the aggregate par value of the shares. The replacement units of membership interest in
Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company may be redeemed for cash or an equivalent number of our common stock in the future, at our option after specified lock-up periods. Holders of the Company&#146;s common stock will continue to hold their shares of the Company.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company expects to complete a 1 for 10 reverse split of its common stock. It is currently expected that the Company&#146;s current shareholders will own 56.5% of the Company&#146;s shares of common stock
immediately after the merger and former unit holders of Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company will hold the balance; however, the actual percentages will not be known until members of Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company have made their elections to receive the
Company&#146;s common stock or replacement units of Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company. If all Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company membership interests were to be redeemed in the future, if the Company were to elect to issue shares of its common stock upon such
redemption and if no other changes in the number of the Company&#146;s outstanding shares of common stock were to occur, the Company&#146;s current shareholders would own 38.5%, and former Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company members would own 61.5%, of the
combined company. Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company will be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The proposed merger, which is expected
to close during the second half of 2009, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the receipt of third party consents and other conditions set forth in the definitive merger agreement. In addition, the merger is subject to approval by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of the Company&#146;s common stock, provided that the number of votes cast on the matter represents over 50% in interest of all securities entitled to vote on the matter. </FONT></P> <P

accordance with FIN 46R. The Company consolidates VIEs of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or non-VIEs which the Company controls. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the variable interest holder that absorbs the majority of
the variability in the expected losses or potentially the residual returns of the VIE. When determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers its aggregate explicit and implicit variable interests as a single variable interest. If
the Company&#146;s variable interest absorbs the majority of the variability in the expected losses or the residual returns of the VIE, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company reconsiders its determination of
whether an entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE if certain events occur. If the Company determines that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the deconsolidation of the VIE is accounted for as a
sale of the entity for no proceeds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has determined that certain special purpose trusts formed by third party issuers of TruPS

  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The fair value of the Company&#146;s financial instruments is generally based on observable market
prices or inputs or derived from such prices or inputs, provided that such information is available. When quoted market prices are not available because certain financial instruments do not actively trade in the public markets, fair value is based
on comparisons to similar instruments or from internal valuation models. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the
financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of financial instrument, its age, whether the financial instrument is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, the current market
conditions, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. 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 the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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, the Company&#146;s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses 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 reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 3. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Many financial instruments have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the
lowest price that the Company and others are willing to accept for an asset. For financial instruments whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices, the Company does not require that fair value always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. The
Company&#146;s policy is to allow for mid-market pricing and adjusting to the point within the bid-ask range that results in the Company&#146;s best estimate of fair value. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fair value for certain of the Company&#146;s 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 contract, specific issuer information and other market data for securities without an active market. In accordance
with SFAS No.&nbsp;157, the impact of the Company&#146;s own credit and creditworthiness of consolidated CDOs is also considered when measuring the fair value of 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 upon observable inputs where available. Management&#146;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&#146;s assumptions. </FONT></P> <P

2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;160, &#147;Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;51&#148; (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;160&#148;). SFAS
No.&nbsp;160 requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling
interests. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 applies prospectively as of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods
presented. As of January&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;160 and the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160 resulted in the following changes to the presentation of the Company&#146;s prior period consolidated financial statements:
(1)&nbsp;reclassified all amounts previously included within the &#147;Minority interests&#148; financial statement caption to the &#147;Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries&#148; financial statement caption, which is included within the equity
section of the Company&#146;s consolidated balance sheets; (2)&nbsp;consolidated net income (loss) was adjusted to include net income (loss) attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interests; and (3)&nbsp;consolidated comprehensive
income (loss) was adjusted to include comprehensive income (loss) attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interests. The adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160 did not have an impact on net income (loss) for any prior periods. However, the
net income attributable to the Company&#146;s common stockholders for six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 increased $14.4 million or $0.24 per diluted share, as a result of SFAS No.&nbsp;160&#146;s requirement that noncontrolling interests continue
to be attributed their share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance. There was no impact to net income for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160.

(&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;141(R)&#148;). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition);
establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other
users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS No.&nbsp;141(R) applies to all transactions or other events in which the Company obtains control of one or more
businesses, including those sometimes referred to as &#147;true mergers&#148; or &#147;mergers of equals&#148; and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto

conversion. FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer&#146;s nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when
interest cost is recognized. The equity component is presented in parent stockholders&#146; equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt is recognized as part of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. FSP APB

freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all of the characteristics of a derivative or freestanding instrument that is potentially settled in an entity&#146;s own stock (with the exception of share-based payment awards within

applicable), or (b)&nbsp;an observable index, other than an index calculated or measured solely by reference to the issuer&#146;s own operations, and the variables that could affect the settlement amount must be inputs to the fair value of a

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fair value for certain of the Company&#146;s 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. The credit
markets in the United States began suffering significant disruption in the summer of 2007. This disruption began in the subprime residential mortgage sector and extended to the broader credit and financial markets generally. During the third quarter
of 2008, it became clear that the global economy has been adversely impacted by the credit crisis. Available liquidity, particularly through asset-backed securities (ABS) CDOs and other securitizations, declined precipitously during the second half
of 2007, and continued to decline in 2008 and 2009. Concerns about the capital adequacy of financial services companies, disruptions in global credit markets, volatility in commodities prices and continued pricing declines in the U.S. housing market
have led to further disruptions in the financial markets, adversely affected regional banks and have exacerbated the longevity and severity of the credit crisis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">All of these influences significantly disrupted the financial markets in which the Company&#146;s assets and liabilities trade; therefore, access to and the quality of external market data for use in the
Company&#146;s valuation analyses used to support the fair values presented within the consolidated balance sheets was extremely limited. The limited nature and variability of that market data required the Company to apply significant judgment in
its determination of the appropriate assumptions to use in the determination of fair value. While attempting to develop assumptions that would be used by a market participant, the Company noted that the limited access to and quality of external
market data would increase the range of estimates that could be considered fair value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>TruPS and TruPS Security-Related Receivables </U></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The market conditions described above impacted the volume of observable inputs available to the Company in estimating the fair value of its TruPS and
TruPS security-related receivables. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company estimated that the fair value of its TruPS portfolio was, on average, approximately $35 for every $100 of par. The Company arrived at this estimated fair value using a
discounted cash flow approach to value each individual TruPS. However, the Company notes that the range of fair value estimates for these securities is wide and that different market participants may arrive at different estimates based on how a
market participant may evaluate the characteristics of individual securities, combined with judgments regarding the timing of economic recovery, and changes in interest rates and issuers&#146; ability to call. If the Company were to value the TruPS
portfolio using the average dollar price at the high and low point of an estimated range that was determined based on 200 bps increases and decreases to the Company&#146;s estimated credit spread assumptions, it would result in the fair value of the
TruPS portfolio increasing by $294 million or decreasing by $(225) million as compared to the amount recorded in the financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>MBS

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company estimated that the fair value of its MBS portfolio was, on average, approximately $19 for every $100 of par, based
on its best estimate of fair value for each individual MBS. However, the Company notes that the range of fair value estimates for these securities is wide and that different market participants may arrive at different estimates, based on how a
market participant may evaluate the characteristics of individual securities, combined with judgments regarding the timing of economic recovery, and changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds. If the Company were to value the MBS portfolio
using the dollar price at the high and low point of an estimated range that was determined to be 10% above or below the average dollar price of $19, it would result in the fair value of the MBS portfolio increasing by $42 million or decreasing by
$(42) million as compared to the amount recorded in the financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>MBS and TruPS CDO Notes Payable and Trust Preferred Obligations
</U></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The market conditions described above also have an impact on the volume of observable inputs available to the Company in estimating the
fair value of the CDO notes payable and trust preferred obligations that finance the Company&#146;s MBS and TruPS portfolios. The MBS and TruPS assets serve as the sole source of collateral and cash flows for the MBS and TruPS CDO notes payable and
trust preferred obligations. As a result, the Company generally expects that there will be significant correlation between its fair value estimates of the CDO notes payable and its fair value estimates for the associated MBS and TruPS assets. This
expected price correlation between the underlying assets and the CDO notes payable was consistent with what the Company had historically experienced and observed in the market. However, during the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, changes in
market conditions significantly impacted the degree of this correlation. Changes in market conditions during the quarter had a significant positive impact on the pricing of credit risk associated with our individual TruPS investments. The change in
market perceptions regarding the benefits or risks associated with our investments in TruPS assets did not have a significant impact on the markets perception regarding the credit risk and other market risks of our CDO notes payable. As a result,
the correlation of the changes in fair value of our TruPS assets and CDO notes payable was not consistent with our historical experience and therefore, the changes in the fair value of our TruPS assets were significantly greater than the changes in
fair value of our TruPS related CDO notes payable during the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009. If the Company were to value the MBS and TruPS CDO notes payable using the dollar price at the high and low point of an estimated range that was
determined to be 10% above or below the average dollar price of $18, it would result in the fair value of these instruments increasing by $140 million or decreasing by $(140) million as compared to the amount recorded in the financial statements.

conditions existing at June&nbsp;30, 2009 may cause significant variability in fair value estimates of the Company&#146;s consolidated investments in TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables, MBS and related MBS and TruPS CDO notes payable and
trust preferred obligations, the non-recourse nature of these assets and liabilities to the Company means that changes by the Company to recorded fair values of such instruments in the Company&#146;s financial statements do no have a material
economic impact on the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The maximum loss from investments in TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables is limited to the
aggregate $219 million that the Company originally invested in the eight TruPS CDO entities through purchases of preference shares. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the TruPS CDO entities, which the Company consolidates in accordance with FIN 46R, have
experienced $386.5 million of bank and insurance company defaults and $670.2 million of securities currently deferring interest, or 20.6% of the Company&#146;s combined TruPS portfolio. The TruPS deferrals and defaults described above have resulted
in the over-collateralization tests being triggered in all eight TruPS CDOs. The trigger of an over-collateralization test in a TruPS CDO means that the Company, as </FONT>

cash or collateral is retained in the CDOs to cure the over-collateralization tests, and the Company cannot predict when or if such an event will occur. For this reason, the Company believes the fair value of its investments in preference shares and
subordinated interests in the TruPS CDO entities is negligible and, therefore, changes by the Company to recorded fair values of the underlying TruPS and TruPS security-related receivables collateral within the ranges described above would not have
a material economic impact on the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The maximum loss from investments in MBS which are all held by three Kleros Real Estate CDOs
(Kleros Real Estate CDO I, II and IV) is limited to the $90 million that was originally invested by the Company into these Kleros Real Estate CDOs through purchases of equity interests. All of the Kleros Real Estate CDOs are governed by indentures
that provide the Company with no rights to the CDO&#146;s assets and provide the CDO noteholders with no recourse to the assets of the Company. The Company consolidates the Kleros Real Estate CDOs in accordance with FIN 46R, which requires that the
Company records the financial position and results of operations of the CDOs in the consolidated financial statements, without consideration that the Company&#146;s maximum economic exposure to loss is $90 million. The Kleros Real Estate CDOs have
all failed over-collateralization tests as a result of significant ratings agency downgrade activity and are no longer making cash distributions to the Company related to its equity interests. The net cash flows of the Kleros Real Estate CDOs are
currently being used to pay down the controlling class debtholders in each of the Kleros Real Estate CDOs. As previously disclosed, the Company has received written notice from the trustees of Kleros Real Estate I, II, and IV that each CDO
experienced an event of default. These events of default resulted from the failure of certain additional over-collateralization tests primarily due to credit rating agency downgrades. The events of default provide the controlling class debtholder in
each CDO with the option to liquidate all of the MBS assets collateralizing the particular CDO. The proceeds of any such liquidation would be used to repay the controlling class debtholder. As a result of these circumstances, the Company believes
that the fair value of the Company&#146;s equity interests in the Kleros Real Estate CDOs is zero, and that changes by the Company to recorded fair value of the underlying MBS collateral within the ranges described above would not have a material
economic impact on the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>NOTE 5: INVESTMENTS IN DEBT SECURITIES </B></FONT></P> <P

that have defaulted or are currently deferring interest payments is $1.1 billion, representing approximately 20.6% of the Company&#146;s combined TruPS portfolio. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the $386.5 million of defaulted securities have been
completely written-off in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. For the six-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, investment interest income is net of a $20.4 million reserve for interest income related to the $1.1 billion of
currently deferring and defaulted securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The TruPS deferrals and defaults described above have resulted in the over-collateralization
tests being triggered in all eight CDOs in which the Company holds equity interests. The trigger of an over-collateralization test in a TruPS CDO means that the Company, as a holder of equity securities, will not receive current distributions of
cash in respect of its equity interests until sufficient cash or collateral is retained in the CDOs to cure the over-collateralization tests. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

These events of default resulted from the failure of certain additional over-collateralization tests primarily due to credit rating agency downgrades. The events of default provide the controlling class debtholder in each CDO with the option to
liquidate all of the MBS assets collateralizing the particular CDO. The proceeds of any such liquidation will be used to repay the controlling class debtholder. As of the current date, the controlling class debtholders of Kleros Real Estate I, II
and IV have not exercised their rights to liquidate any of the CDOs. Since the Company is not receiving any cash flow from its investments in any of the Kleros Real Estate CDOs, the events of default described above do not have any further impact on
the Company&#146;s cash flows. However, the assets of the Kleros Real Estate I, II and IV CDOs and the income they generate for tax purposes are a component of the Company&#146;s REIT qualifying assets and income. If more than one of the three
remaining Kleros Real Estate CDOs is liquidated, the Company may have to deploy additional capital into REIT qualifying assets in order to continue to qualify as a REIT. If the Company is not able to invest in sufficient other REIT qualifying
assets, its ability to qualify as a REIT could be materially adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Substantially all of the Company&#146;s investments in
TruPS, subordinated debentures and MBS collateralize debt issued through consolidated CDO entities, consolidated Trust VIEs, or warehouse credit facilities. Consolidated CDO entities are generally subject to an indenture which dictates substantially
all of the operating activities of the CDO. These indentures generally require that certain credit quality and over-collateralization tests are met. To the extent a CDO fails to pass such tests, cash flows from the assets may be directed to be used
to repay the CDO debt obligations. The assets of the Company&#146;s consolidated CDOs collateralize the debt of such entities and are not available to the Company&#146;s general creditors. Similarly, the debt of such entities is not recourse to the

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company continues to classify all of the leveraged loans included in its warehouse facility with a third party as held for sale. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined
that it no longer had the intent to hold these particular loans to maturity or for the foreseeable future. During the three and six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company recorded increases of $23.0 million and $63.0 million,
respectively, to the fair value of these leveraged loans. The fair value increases were primarily attributable to a tightening of estimated credit spreads as evidenced by comparable market leveraged loan data. The warehouse facility that provides
short-term financing for approximately $143.3 million of par value of leveraged loans matured in May 2009 and, as previously disclosed, is currently in default. The Company expects that the warehouse lender will liquidate all of the $143.3 million
of par value of leveraged loans during the third quarter of 2009. As a result of the liquidation of the collateral, the Company will likely lose the first loss cash that is deposited with the warehouse lender in the amount of $38.5 million, which is
the maximum amount of loss that the Company is exposed to from the warehouse facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has the positive intent and ability to

losses and inherent risks in the portfolios, which considers historical and industry loss experience, economic conditions and trends, estimated fair values and the quality of collateral and other relevant quantitative and qualitative factors.
Specific allowances for losses are established for potentially impaired loans based on a comparison of the recorded carrying value of the loan to either the present value of the loan&#146;s expected cash flow, the loan&#146;s estimated market price
or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The allowance is increased by charges to operations and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The following table summarizes the Company&#146;s allowance for loan losses: </FONT></P>

records REO property at fair value within other assets in its consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of REO property is determined based upon internal valuation models that consider current third party market data on trends in home prices,
geographic location of the property, estimated costs to sell and other observable market data that is available. During the three and six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company recorded impairments of $2.3 million and $4.3 million,
respectively, as a result of changes in fair value of REO property. Additionally, during the three and six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company sold REO properties with a fair value of $5.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively, for

principal amount of $18.9 million. The over collateralization requirements in the leveraged loan CLOs are typically triggered in the event that we experience significant losses on the sale of assets below par, as well as unrealized fair value
adjustments on certain assets as mandated by the indentures which govern our leveraged loan CLOs. The primary cause for such fair value adjustments are default activity, and credit downgrades in the underlying asset pool. Subsequent to June&nbsp;30,
2009, we experienced an interest diversion test failure in Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd. The failure was primarily attributable to an increase in defaulted assets collateralizing the CLO. As a result of the interest diversion test failure in
Emporia Preferred Funding II, Ltd., the Company did not receive any of its quarterly distribution in July 2009, and, assuming no additional defaults or significant credit downgrades, the Company does not expect to receive its quarterly cash
distribution for several quarters. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company has placed $18.9 million of leveraged loans on non-accrual

As indicated in the table above, the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements include recourse indebtedness of $77.7 million as of June&nbsp;30, 2009. Non-recourse indebtedness consists of indebtedness of consolidated VIEs (i.e. CDOs, CLOs
and other securitization vehicles) which is recourse only to specific assets pledged as collateral to the lenders. The creditors of each consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the
Company&#146;s maximum exposure to economic loss as a result of its involvement with each VIE is the $440.7 million of capital that the Company has invested in warehouse first-loss deposits and the preference shares or debt of the CDO, CLO or other
types of securitization structures. None of the indebtedness shown in the table above subjects the Company to potential margin calls for additional pledges of cash or other assets. </FONT></P> <P

June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements included $106.6 million of warehouse credit facility debt in the form of short term notes payable. Warehouse credit facility debt relates to an on-balance sheet warehouse
facility entered into by a subsidiary of the Company with the intention of financing the acquisition of leveraged loans on a short-term basis until longer-term financing is available. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company has invested $38.5 million
of capital in this financing arrangement, which contractually matured in May 2009. As previously disclosed, the warehouse is currently in default and therefore, there is no borrowing capacity, the facility is bearing a penalty interest rate equal to
the daily commercial paper rate plus 300 basis points, and all principal and interest collections are used to amortize the warehouse credit facility debt. The Company expects that the warehouse lender will liquidate all of the $143.3 million of par
value of leveraged loans during the third quarter of 2009. As a result of the liquidation of the collateral, the Company will likely lose the first loss cash that is deposited with the warehouse lender in the amount of $38.5 million, which is the
maximum amount of loss that the Company is exposed to from the warehouse facility. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

SIZE="2">As previously disclosed, on February&nbsp;27, 2009, Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company sold each of the Emporia I, II and III collateral management contracts (the Company has equity interests in Emporia II and III) to an unrelated third
party.&nbsp;The sale of the collateral management contracts resulted in a servicer default under our leveraged loan warehouse facility and the terms of the warehouse facility required that all principal and interest proceeds be utilized to amortize
the warehouse lender&#146;s outstanding debt balance. The leveraged loan warehouse facility contractually matured in May 2009 and we expect the warehouse collateral will be liquidated in the third quarter of 2009. The sale of the Emporia II and III
collateral management contracts required the Company&#146;s consent as holder of the equity interests in Emporia II and III.&nbsp;In consideration for the Company&#146;s consent to enter into such transaction, Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company and the
Company entered into an arrangement which requires Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company to pay $3 million to the Company in the event that the proposed merger is not completed.&nbsp;The purpose of the payment is to compensate the Company for amounts that it
would have otherwise received had the servicer default not occurred under the leveraged loan warehouse agreement. In the event that our proposed merger with Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company is consummated, Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company shall not be obligated to
pay the $3 million to the Company.&nbsp;If the merger agreement with Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company is terminated, such amount shall be paid by Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company to the Company within 10 business days of the termination date. Additionally, Cohen
and the Company agreed that the Company shall be permitted to continue to offset the monthly base management fee and the quarterly incentive fee by the Company&#146;s proportionate share of the collateral management fees paid in Emporia II and III.

opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the

(&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements</I> (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;157&#148;), which was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) in September 2006. The Company also adopted on January&nbsp;1, 2008, and
thereafter the FASB Staff Positions (&#147;FSPs&#148;) related to SFAS No.&nbsp;157 described below. SFAS No.&nbsp;157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair
value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The new definition of fair value focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to
transfer the liability between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). An exit price valuation will include margins for risk even if they are not observable. SFAS No.&nbsp;157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (&#147;Level 1, 2 and 3&#148;). The Company applied the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 prospectively to financial assets and financial liabilities that are
required to be measured at fair value under existing U.S. GAAP. Upon adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;157, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment of applying SFAS No.&nbsp;157 to opening members&#146; capital, as the Company already had
previously recorded its assets and its liabilities at fair value. See note 5 for additional information regarding SFAS No.&nbsp;157. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-1, <I>Application of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;157 to FASB Statement No.&nbsp;13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Addresses Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or
Measurement under Statement 13</I> (&#147;FSP FAS 157-1&#148;). FSP FAS 157-1 provides a scope exception from SFAS No.&nbsp;157 for the evaluation criteria on lease classification and capital lease measurement under SFAS No.&nbsp;13, <I>Accounting

value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective immediately upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued, and therefore the
Company was subject to the provision of the FSP effective September&nbsp;30, 2008. The implementation of this standard did not affect the Company&#146;s fair value measurement as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. However, this is an ongoing assessment and

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities &#151; Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;115</I> (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;159&#148;), which was issued by the FASB in February 2007. This standard provides companies the option of reporting
certain instruments at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations) which were previously either carried at cost, not recognized on the financial statements, or carried at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized as a component of equity rather than in the statement of operations. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. SFAS No.&nbsp;159 provides entities with a one-time opportunity, upon initial adoption of

Statements-an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;51</I> (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;160&#148;). SFAS No.&nbsp;160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51, <I>Consolidated Financial Statements</I>, to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as
equity in the consolidated financial statements (as opposed to mezzanine equity). SFAS No.&nbsp;160 also changes the way the consolidated statement of operations is presented by requiring net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, of the amounts of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS
No.&nbsp;160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of
the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. For all periods in which a consolidated balance sheet is presented, the Company would reclassify all amounts, from the &#147;minority interest&#148; caption (formerly
displayed between total liabilities and members&#146; equity) to a new line item, &#147;non-controlling interests,&#148; to be included in members&#146; equity. Additionally, in the statement of operations, the Company would not deduct any minority
interest in determining net income. Rather, the Company will show, below net income on the face of the statement of operations, the portion of consolidated net income or loss that is attributable to the controlling and non-controlling interests.
SFAS No.&nbsp;160 is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all
periods presented. The Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;160 as of January&nbsp;1, 2009. Other than the reclassification described above, the Company&#146;s adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160 did not have a material effect on the Company&#146;s financial
condition or results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Since the audited financial statements for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 have been included in

management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step in the process is to identify potential goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit (Strategos) to its carrying value.
The Company estimates fair value using a discounted cash flow model comprised of revenue and profit forecasts and other management assumptions. If the carrying value is less than fair value the Company would complete step two in the impairment
review process which measures the amount of goodwill impairment. Management develops and tests the reasonableness of the inputs and outcome of the discounted cash flow model against other available comparable market data. As of December&nbsp;31,

Company entered into a single CDO transaction as a sponsor. In addition, due to the current state of the financial markets, the Company does not anticipate entering into these types of transactions in the foreseeable future. The exact form or method

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In a typical CDO transaction that the Company sponsors, the Company enters into an arrangement whereby a third party lender (the
&#147;Warehouse Facility Provider&#148;) agrees to purchase assets, on the Company&#146;s behalf, in order to accumulate assets for securitization (a &#147;Warehouse Facility&#148;). When a sufficient amount of assets are accumulated, the assets are
sold to and securitized by a newly created special purpose entity (the &#147;CDO SPE&#148;). The CDO SPE finances this purchase by issuing various layers of CDO Securities to investors in a private offering. The Company generally serves as
collateral asset manager of the CDO SPE and receives ongoing fees for this service during the life of the CDO SPE. In cases where the assets held by the CDO SPE are trust preferred securities, the trust preferred securities represent a receivable
from another special purpose entity (the &#147;Trust SPE&#148;) which, in turn, holds a receivable from a financial institution obligor (generally a bank or insurance company). </FONT></P> <P

consider if it is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (&#147;VIE&#148;) in which the Company holds a variable interest. Once it is determined that the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE, FIN 46R requires that the Company
perform an expected loss calculation to determine the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The holder of the variable interests that absorb a majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns is considered the primary beneficiary. If the
Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, it is required to consolidate the VIE. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are three potential VIEs to consider with
each sponsored CDO, as described below: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>The Warehouse Facility</U>: In most cases, there is no special purpose entity established during
the accumulation phase of a CDO. The assets are purchased by the Warehouse Facility Provider, which is typically an investment banking firm. In these cases, there is no VIE to consider since the Warehouse Facility Provider is a business and not an
entity subject to the requirements of FIN 46R. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Warehouse Facility would not warrant further consideration for consolidation by the Company. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">However, in certain circumstances, a special purpose entity is established to hold the accumulated assets (the &#147;Warehouse SPE&#148;). In these
cases, the Company has generally determined the Warehouse SPE is a VIE as defined by FIN 46R. The Company may hold a variable interest in the Warehouse SPE if it is the first loss guarantor. The first loss guarantor posts a certain amount of
collateral for the benefit of the Warehouse Facility Provider. If the Warehouse Facility Provider suffers a loss related to the assets financed, the loss guarantee provider agrees to reimburse the Warehouse Facility Provider up to an agreed upon
maximum (which is generally the amount of collateral deposited). In these cases, the Company would perform the required expected loss calculation and may be deemed to be the primary beneficiary and required to consolidate the Warehouse SPE.

case by case basis, based on the specific rights and obligations in the warehouse agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In some cases, a related party of the

party, identify that party as the primary beneficiary. If it would, the enterprise most closely associated with the VIE would be deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company takes this fact into account when performing its expected loss
calculations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has been party to one transaction in which there was a separate Warehouse SPE, the Company served as first loss

beneficiary of the CDO SPE and the Trust SPE (when applicable). In the Company&#146;s case, however, it may be deemed to be the primary beneficiary even if it holds less than a majority of the most junior CDO Securities because of the additional
variable interest it holds through its subordinated and incentive management fees. However, the Company has generally found that the amount of variability absorbed by its subordinated and incentive management fees is small, and, therefore, its
investment in the most junior CDO Securities would have to approximate a majority of the most junior CDO Securities in order to be deemed to be the primary beneficiary. To date, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of any CDO
SPE or Trust SPE. If the Company were to determine that it is the primary beneficiary of any CDO SPE or Trust SPE, the Company would record the assets and liabilities of each and establish a noncontrolling interest for the portion of the most junior
CDO Securities that it did not hold. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">See note 5 for a discussion of investments held as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and detail surrounding

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The subordinated asset management fee is an additional payment for the same services but has a lower priority in the CDO cash flows. If the trust experiences a certain level of asset defaults, these fees may not be

paid on a quarterly basis. However, if the Company determines that the subordinated asset management fee will not be paid (which generally occurs on the quarterly payment date), the Company will stop recognizing additional subordinated asset
management fees on that particular trust and will reverse any subordinated asset management fees that are accrued and unpaid. The Company will begin accruing the subordinated asset management fee again if payment resumes and, in management&#146;s
estimate, continued payment is reasonably assured. If payment were to resume but the Company was unsure of continued payment, it would recognize the subordinated asset management fee as payments were received and would not accrue on a monthly basis.

maximizing recoveries. The incentive management fee is not ultimately determined or payable until the achievement of the Hurdle Return by the most junior CDO Securities holders. The Company does not recognize incentive fee revenue until the Hurdle

to date, the Company has issued both restricted membership units (&#147;Restricted Units&#148;) and unit options (&#147;Options&#148;). Restricted Units include actual membership interests of the Company which may be subject to certain restrictions

fair value of the Restricted Units or Options granted. From time to time, the Company has engaged an independent third-party appraiser to value its equity interests or used an internal valuation model. In the case of Restricted Units, the Company
will use the most recent valuation to ascertain the value of the units granted or vested, as the application of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R requires depending on the facts or circumstances. In the case of the Options, the Company will set the strike price at
the per unit value implied by the valuation used. The Options will be valued based on that strike price and other assumptions using the Black-Scholes valuation method (see note 13). </FONT></P> <P

treatment. The individual rights of the equity grants are the determining factors of the appropriate treatment (liability or equity). In general terms, if the Restricted Units or Options granted have certain features (like put or cash settlement
options) that give employees the right to redeem the grants for cash instead of equity of the Company, the grants will require liability treatment. Otherwise, equity treatment is generally appropriate. </FONT></P> <P

statements of operations. The expense is recorded ratably over the service period as defined in SFAS No.&nbsp;123R which is generally the vesting period. The offsetting entry is to members&#146; equity. In the case of grants that qualify for equity
treatment, no adjustment to the related compensation expense is made for subsequent valuations obtained in conjunction with subsequent equity grants. The only adjustments made would be to account for differences between actual forfeitures of grants
when an employee leaves the Company and initial estimate of forfeitures. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the grants were to qualify for liability treatment, the

&#147;more-likely-than-not&#148; of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. FIN 48 applies to positions
for all open tax years. Penalties are recorded as an operating expense, and interest expense is recorded as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had no tax positions relating to open income tax returns
that were considered to be uncertain. Accordingly, the Company had no liability for such uncertain positions nor did it establish such a liability upon the adoption of FIN 48. </FONT></P> <P

that to the extent (1) it receives two quotations in a similar range from broker dealers knowledgeable about CDO Securities, and (2) the Company believes the broker dealers gather and utilize observable market information such as new issue activity
in the primary market, trading activity in the secondary market, credit spreads versus historical levels, bid-ask spreads, and price consensus among market participants and sources, then classification as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy is
appropriate. In the absence of two broker dealer market quotations, a single broker dealer market quotation may be used without corroboration of the quote in which case the Company generally classifies the fair value within Level 3 of the valuation
hierarchy. If quotations are unavailable, valuation models prepared by the Company&#146;s management are used. These models include estimates and the valuations derived from them could differ materially from amounts realizable in an open market
exchange. Fair values based on internal valuation models prepared by the Company&#146;s management are generally classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. </FONT></P>  <P

equity method. Management elected fair value accounting for these investments because their fair value measurements are readily obtainable. The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $331, net of a deferred tax benefit of $0, as a
reduction to beginning members&#146; capital for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the Company&#146;s investment in MFCA on January&nbsp;1, 2008. The carrying value of Brigadier was the same under the equity method as
under SFAS No.&nbsp;159 so no cumulative effect adjustment was necessary. The Company will continue to account for its investments in Star Asia Manager and DEKU under the equity method. In addition, the Company made an investment in Deep Value GP,
which is accounted for under the equity method, for which the Company did not elect the fair value option. The fair value measurements for these entities are not as readily obtainable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

represented accumulated unrealized appreciation on this investment. The investment in Brigadier Capital, LP was, at all times during 2008, carried at its estimated fair value. However, for the purposes of the table above and determining the cost
basis, the Company treated the redemptions during 2008 as first representing a return of investment and second a redemption of net appreciation. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

of 2007, the Company began negotiations with the noncontrolling interest partner of one of the Company&#146;s consolidated subsidiaries, Strategos, to acquire the 10% of Strategos the Company did not already own in exchange for 331,000 Class&nbsp;A
and Class B units of the Company. The purpose of this transaction was to better align the noncontrolling interest partner&#146;s financial incentives with the success of the consolidated company. In July 2007, the Company finalized the agreement
with the noncontrolling interest partner. The Company utilized purchase accounting. The transaction was valued at $15,313 ($14,660 for the Class&nbsp;A and Class B units and $653 for certain accrued expenses). The purchase price was allocated
between (1)&nbsp;the 10% un-owned portion of the tangible net assets acquired, (2)&nbsp;intangible assets which mainly consisted of the 10% un-owned portion of the in-place asset management contracts of Strategos, and (3)&nbsp;goodwill. No tangible
assets were acquired. The following table reflects the allocation of the purchase price: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>ACQUISITION OF NONCONTROLLING INTEREST </B>

comprised of revenue and profit forecasts and other management assumptions. If the carrying value is less than fair value the Company would complete step two in the impairment review process which measures the amount of goodwill impairment.
Management develops and tests the reasonableness of the inputs and outcome of the discounted cash flow model against other available comparable market data. The Company performed its annual impairment test as of July&nbsp;1, 2008 and determined no
impairment charge was necessary. In addition, the Company performed a subsequent impairment test as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and determined that no impairment charge was required. The Company recorded a reduction in goodwill of $519 during the

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On July&nbsp;27, 2007, the Company entered into a new $200,000 revolving line of credit facility with a group of commercial banks (the &#147;Bank
Group&#148;). The new revolving credit facility replaced the revolving line of credit and term loan dated as of July&nbsp;18, 2006. The current facility matures on July&nbsp;26, 2009, and bears interest at either (i)&nbsp;2.00% over prime or
(ii)&nbsp;3.00% over one, two, three, or six month LIBOR. The Company has the option to choose between the prime rate or LIBOR options and the option to choose the LIBOR duration. The total amount available for borrowing may be less than $200,000
and is based primarily on a formula derived from the present value of the Company&#146;s expected CDO asset management fees. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, $67,000 was drawn, $3,300 was committed for letters of credit and there was no availability to
borrow under the credit facility. The facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of $20,000 or 10% of the available borrowing base. Outstanding letters of credit are treated as outstanding
borrowings for the purpose of the total borrowing base. The facility has an unused line fee of 0.25%&nbsp;per annum on the unused portion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

2007. The Company has subsequently paid down its debt to the current level. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Covenants, Collateral and Default</U>: The Company&#146;s current credit facility (the &#147;Bank
Group Loan&#148;) is governed by one set of agreements entered into with the Bank Group on July&nbsp;27, 2007. The Bank Group Loan is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Company with the primary exception of two subsidiaries
(the &#147;Non-Guaranteeing Subsidiaries&#148;). However, the Company is limited as to how much net capital the Non-Guaranteeing Subsidiaries can have at any one time. The effect of the Bank Group Loan and the related security and pledge agreements
is that the Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets and substantially all of its asset management agreements with the exception of certain of its investments that are currently classified as trading inventory held
in the Non-Guaranteeing Subsidiaries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This security interest limits the Company&#146;s ability to use its assets to fund ongoing
operations. All of the Company&#146;s investments classified as other investments, at fair value and as investments in equity method affiliates are encumbered under the Bank Group Loan and related agreements. The remaining investments classified as
trading are not specifically encumbered under the Bank Group Loan because they are held in the Non-Guaranteeing Subsidiaries. See note 5 for information regarding other encumbrances that may be placed on these securities. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Bank Group Loan contains standard covenants and restrictions that, among other things, restrict the Company&#146;s ability to pay distributions to
members, to enter into a merger, to acquire another company, to take on additional debt, and to enter into new leases or other commitments. The Bank Group Loan also limits the regulatory net capital of the Company&#146;s U.S. broker dealer
subsidiary to $25,000; and restricts change of ownership. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Bank Group Loan includes certain financial covenants such as
(1)&nbsp;minimum net worth; (2)&nbsp;minimum consolidated cash flow to fixed charge coverage ratio; and (3)&nbsp;maximum funded debt to consolidated cash flow ratio. All relevant terms are defined in the credit agreement. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Based on the financial results as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company was in default of the minimum net worth covenant. The failure by the Company to
meet this covenant constituted an Event of Default as defined under the Bank Group Loan. As a result of this Event of Default, the Bank Group could have, among other things, (a)&nbsp;ceased making advances; (b)&nbsp;terminated the Bank Group Loan
and demanded immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding; (c)&nbsp;demanded cash collateral in the amount of all outstanding letters of credit; (d)&nbsp;increased the interest rate by 2%; or (e)&nbsp;taken action against the collateral.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On April&nbsp;3, 2009, the Bank Group took the following actions: (i)&nbsp;it exercised its right to increase the interest rate on the
Bank Group Loan by 2%; (ii)&nbsp;it exercised its right to cease making advances or issuing letters of credit; and (iii)&nbsp;it exercised its right to convert all outstanding advances under the Bank Group Loan to prime based from LIBOR based after
the expiration of the LIBOR periods outstanding at that time. It did not exercise any of its other remedies available to it upon the Event of Default. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On June&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company entered into a new credit facility with TD Bank, the agent bank from the Bank Group. The Company used the proceeds from the initial draw, as well as existing cash on hand, to repay
the Bank Group Loan in full. The Company never received a formal waiver of the default; however, the default was effectively cured when the loan was paid in full. See note 25, Subsequent Events &#151; 2009 Credit Facility, for a more detailed

December&nbsp;31, 2008 to be recognized in 2009 is $617. No amortization will be recorded beyond 2009 as the deferred financing asset will be fully amortized in 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

hedging agreement in a notional amount equal to at least 50% of the outstanding balance of the former term loan. The Company entered into an interest rate swap on October&nbsp;18, 2006. At that time, the notional amount of the swap equaled 50% of
the outstanding balance of the term loan (and it declines by 50% of each scheduled principal payment throughout the term of the former term loan). This requirement to hedge the Company&#146;s variable rate exposure was not included in the Bank Group
Loan; however, the Company left the existing swap in place. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The interest rate swap terminates on June&nbsp;30, 2009 and effectively locks
three month LIBOR into a fixed rate of 5.24% for the notional amount and the relevant period of time. The Company did not designate the interest rate swap as a hedged item for purposes of hedge accounting under SFAS No.&nbsp;133. Accordingly, the
Company carries the interest rate swap at fair value and includes the gain or loss in the other non-operating income (loss) section of the consolidated statements of operations. The gain or loss included in this section includes two components:
(i)&nbsp;the unrealized gains or losses based on the Company&#146;s estimate of the fair value of the interest rate swap, and (ii)&nbsp;realized gains and losses which are the periodic payments made or receipts received by the Company. As of the
December&nbsp;31, 2008, the notional amount of the interest rate swap equaled $35,625. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Promissory Note </I></B></FONT></P> <P

Warehouse SPE had a line of credit with LaSalle Bank in the amount of $100,000 which had $1,005 outstanding as of December&nbsp;31, 2006. The line of credit bore interest at the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and matured on September&nbsp;30, 2007.
The Company was not the obligor of this debt and it was non-recourse to the Company (see Note 18). The Company records interest expense as a component of principal transactions and other income when the use of proceeds from the borrowing is used

split the Company&#146;s existing membership units into three economic classes, Class&nbsp;A units, Class B units, and long term incentive profit (&#147;LTIP&#148;) units, as well as a fourth super-voting class, C units. Each member forfeited their
existing units for an equal number of Class&nbsp;A units and an equal number of Class B units. In connection with the recapitalization, the Company was also authorized to issue LTIP units, but no LTIP units were issued in conjunction with the

balance. The preferred return is paid at the discretion of the board of managers. Any unpaid preferred return must be paid to the Class&nbsp;A units prior to distribution to the Class B Units. In a liquidation or a capital transaction, the
Class&nbsp;A units receive first priority from net proceeds up to the agreed upon capital value and do not participate in any excess value above agreed upon capital value. Class&nbsp;A units have no voting rights. The payment of the preferred return
is treated as a distribution and charged against Members&#146; equity. Because the payment of preferred return is discretionary, the Company does not accrue unpaid preferred return until a distribution is declared by the board of managers.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Class B Units</U>: The Class B units are paid distributions after the preferred return is paid to the Class&nbsp;A Units at the

liquidation. The Class C units have 100 votes per unit. The Class C units serve the purpose of providing super voting rights to the Company&#146;s Chairman and controlling member. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>LTIP Units</U>: LTIP units can vest over time or be fully vested at issuance. One LTIP unit is convertible into one Class&nbsp;A unit and one Class B
unit and participates in routine distributions on the same basis as a Class&nbsp;A and a Class B unit. LTIP units do not participate in distributions generated from capital transactions as defined in the operating agreement. LTIP units have no
voting rights. Once vested, an LTIP unit can generally be converted to a Class&nbsp;A and a Class B unit upon certain events. In general unvested LTIP units vest upon change of control as defined in the grant agreement. </FONT></P> <P

group of investors in a private Rule 144A offering. CFG used the proceeds to purchase Class&nbsp;A and Class B units of the Company. Concurrently with the private offering, the Company entered into a Members&#146; Agreement with CFG, whereby the
Company is required to obtain consent from CFG with respect to certain Company activities. These activities are as follows: (1)&nbsp;the authorization of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (2)&nbsp;the issuance of

Company&#146;s unit option plan or (c)&nbsp;in connection with an initial public offering of CFG; or (3)&nbsp;the alteration or the change of the powers, preferences, rights or obligations of the Company&#146;s units held by CFG so as to affect

Restricted Units (see note 12) to its officers pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (&#147;LLC Agreement&#148;). Although the Company&#146;s unit Option plan and LLC Agreement do not limit the amount of
shares to be authorized for issuance, see note 12 for a discussion of Members&#146; Agreement entered into in connection with a private offering in May 2007. Options granted under the Option Plan generally vest over a period ranging from 18 months
or three years and have an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the underlying membership unit of the Company on the date of grant. Options expire 10 years after issuance. Restricted Units generally vest either immediately or over
three years after the issuance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To date, every unit holder maintains an equal number of Class&nbsp;A units and Class B units. In
addition, in each case where units were issued to employees, the employee either received an equal number of Class&nbsp;A units and Class B units or LTIPs that convert into an equal number of Class&nbsp;A units and Class B units. Management believes
it is the combined Class&nbsp;A and Class B unit value that is meaningful from an equity based compensation accounting perspective and it is such value that is disclosed in the table above. It should be noted that, although every employee has
received an equal number of Class&nbsp;A and Class B units, there have been certain cases where they vest over differing periods of time. That is why the balance of unvested Class&nbsp;A and Class B units is not equal at January&nbsp;1, 2008, in the
table above. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When the Company issues Class&nbsp;A and Class B units to an employee and those units vest over the same period of time, the
Company will generally use the combined Class&nbsp;A and Class B value to record the appropriate amount of expense. It is only in the rare case where the Class&nbsp;A and Class B units vest over a different period of time that the Company will use
separate valuations for the Class&nbsp;A and Class B units. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The weighted average fair value of the Restricted Units granted during 2008,
2007, and 2006 was $8.66, $9.62, and $16.96, respectively. The Company recognized equity-based compensation expense (including Tax Gross Up Bonus) of $3,519, $71,038, and $33,992 for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and the expense is included in compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations. Included in equity-based compensation expense is the Gross Up Bonus that the Company agreed to pay to recipients of Restricted Units
for reimbursement of the tax liability incurred due to the receipt of non-cash compensation. The total Gross Up Bonus was $0, $27,194, and $13,597 for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. </FONT></P> <P

therein. As applied to the U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary, the rule required net capital of $347 and $2,995 as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, the U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary&#146;s adjusted
net capital was $15,361 and $12,245, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements by $15,014 and $9,250, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Exchange Act of 1934 because the U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary does not carry securities accounts for its customers or perform custodial functions relating to customer securities and therefore it qualifies for an exemption under Rule

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">At December&nbsp;31, 2006 and through March&nbsp;1, 2007, the Company was the primary beneficiary (through its variable interest as first loss provider) with respect to one Warehouse SPE. As of December&nbsp;31, 2006,
this VIE had assets equal to $1,025 ($25 of restricted cash and $1,000 of available for sale securities). This entity also had $1,005 of debt and $20 of other payables. The debt and other payables were non-recourse to the Company. Accordingly, the
Company would suffer no additional financial statement loss (other than any loss suffered under its first loss position) if there was a default on this debt. Likewise, the Company did not own legal title to the assets and could not use them for
general corporate purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Effective March&nbsp;1, 2007, the Company terminated its first loss guarantee with the Warehouse Facility

the CDO VIEs. The maximum potential financial statement loss the Company would incur if the CDOs were to default on all of their obligations would be (i)&nbsp;the loss of value of the CDO Securities that the Company holds in its inventory at the
time (see note 5), and (ii)&nbsp;any management fee receivables. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Sentinel Liquidation Trust, which emerged from the bankruptcy of Sentinel, filed in August 2007. The Liquidation Trustee, purportedly as the assignee of claims of Sentinel&#146;s customers, alleges that, by recommending that Sentinel purchase
securities, mainly collateralized debt obligations, that the trustee deems to have been unsuitable for Sentinel&#146;s customer accounts, CCS aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties purportedly owed by Sentinel and its head trader to
Sentinel&#146;s customers, in violation of Illinois common law. The complaint also alleges claims under common law theories of negligence and unjust enrichment. The Company will vigorously defend all claims. A motion to dismiss the Liquidation

BCC. DEKU intended to acquire an unidentified business. DEKU completed a public offering in February 2007 and is listed on the NYSE Alternext, formerly the American Stock Exchange under the symbol &#147;DEK.&#148; </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">DEKU had no significant operations prior to or after the offering. The Company purchased 250,000 shares in the offering for a total purchase price of
$2,500. The net proceeds of the offering were held in trust (the &#147;Dekania Trust&#148;) until DEKU successfully completed an acquisition acceptable to its shareholders or is liquidated. The funds in the trust were invested in income bearing
assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It was expected that DEKU would incur expenses associated with its initial offering, its operations during the two-year period it
was seeking to complete an acquisition, and its liquidation. Although the funds deposited in the Dekania Trust were earning interest, there was no certainty that the income earned would fully offset these expenses. To ensure that the Dekania Trust
had sufficient funds to fully reimburse the shareholders in the case of liquidation, the Company agreed to forgo reimbursement of its $2,500 investment and agreed to use its revolving credit facility (see note 10) to issue a $3,291 irrevocable
letter of credit for the benefit of the Dekania Trust. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">DEKU received three letters of intent to consummate a business acquisition in 2008.
In July 2008, it executed one of those letters of intent. In early October 2008, DEKU was advised by the target entity that a majority of its shareholders had taken action by consent &#147;disapproving and rejecting&#148; the merger with DEKU.
Following this shareholder action, DEKU executed one of the remaining two letters of intent, and the acquisition process was ongoing at year end December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As per the terms of the trust, DEKU was limited in the amount of money it could withdraw from the Dekania Trust during the two year period in which it was seeking a suitable target. During 2008, DEKU exhausted its
working capital funds and could draw no further. In order to ensure it could continue operations and complete an acquisition, the Company advanced $409 to DEKU which was included in due from related parties in the consolidated balance sheets.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subsequent to December&nbsp;31, 2008, DEKU shareholders rejected the second acquisition presented by DEKU and voted to liquidate. As a
result, the Company (through its existing letter of credit arrangement) paid $2,599 to the Dekania trust in conjunction with the liquidation. Additionally, the Company wrote off its equity method investment in DEKU for a total charge of $4,482 to
the consolidated statement of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company did not write off its receivable from DEKU in the amount of $409. As a consequence

At each waterfall payment date, the advance will be repaid in full and the NPPF I Trustor will re-advance a scheduled amount to the CDO trust. The scheduled amounts will decrease by $300 on each distribution date through September&nbsp;15, 2012. The
advance will not bear interest. The Company is not a party to this agreement and is not obligated to provide reimbursement for any outstanding advances to NPPF I Trustor. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the outstanding advance between NPPF I Trustor
and Merrill Lynch Portfolio Management, Inc. was $2,400. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As an accommodation to NPPF I Trustor, the Company agreed to pay 6% simple

the Company&#146;s on-going subordinated management fees that otherwise would have been earned for the duration of the trust. The reduction in asset management fees for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 was $162. There was no reduction in asset

prior to the formation of MFCA, entered into a Total Return Swap (&#147;TRS&#148;) with a counterparty bank and began to identify reference bonds for the benefit of MFCA. In August 2007, the TRS was transferred from the Company to MFCA. At that
time, the accumulated mark to market loss on the Company&#146;s interest in the TRS was $3,029. In order to approve the transfer and renewal of the TRS, the counterparty required that this loss be realized and funded. As part of the transfer, the
Company and MFCA agreed to split that loss and each bear approximately one half of the loss. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $1,500 realized loss for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, which was included as component of principal
transactions and other income in the Company&#146;s consolidated statements of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

$2,582, which the Company accounted for as a trading security. During the period from September&nbsp;17, 2007 to December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company recognized a foreign currency transaction gain of $119 bringing the carrying value of the security
to $2,701. The foreign currency transaction gain is a component of principal transactions and other income in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company subsequently sold this position on December&nbsp;31, 2007 to the Company&#146;s
Chairman for $2,672 and recorded a receivable for this amount in due from broker, which was included as a component of receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company subsequently received the cash for the security in January 2008. The
Company realized a loss of $29 on the sale. The realized loss is included in net trading in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also recognized $113 of interest income during the period it owned the security, which is included as

shareholder approval and other required closing conditions, the Company will merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of AFN and will survive the merger as a majority owned subsidiary of AFN. In the business combination, (1) each Cohen Class A
membership unit together with one Cohen Class B membership unit will entitle the holder thereof to either receive 0.57372 shares of AFN common stock or retain 0.57372 recapitalized Cohen membership units and (2) Daniel G. Cohen, who owns all of the
Cohen Class C membership units, will be entitled to receive one share of AFN Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is referred to herein as the Series A Share. The Series A share will have no economic rights
but will entitle Mr. Cohen to elect at least one-third (but less than a majority) of AFN&#146;s board of directors. On or after June&nbsp;30,&nbsp;2010, Mr. Cohen may convert the Series A share into AFN Series B Voting Non-Convertible Preferred
Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which will have no economic rights but will entitle Mr. Cohen to vote together with AFN&#146;s stockholders on all matters presented to its stockholders and to exercise approximately 31.9% of the voting power of
AFN&#146;s common stock (assuming all Cohen members except Mr. Cohen elect to receive AFN common stock in the business combination and there is no change in AFN&#146;s capitalization). The recapitalized Cohen membership units may be redeemed for
cash or, at AFN&#146;s discretion, an equivalent number of shares of AFN common stock at any time in the future after a minimum required holding period (the six-month period following the completion of the business combination for all members other
than Mr. Cohen and the three-year period following the completion of the business combination for Mr. Cohen), which will apply to any interests not converted immediately upon the effectiveness of the business combination. If all recapitalized Cohen
membership units were to be converted into shares of AFN&#146;s common stock, AFN&#146;s existing stockholders (including the Company&#146;s members who may own AFN shares directly) would own 38.5% and current Cohen members would own 61.5% of AFN
post-business combination. The Company will be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The proposed merger, which is
expected to close during the second half of 2009, is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the receipt of third party consents and other conditions set forth in the definitive merger agreement. In addition, the merger is subject to
approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of the AFN&#146;s common stock, provided that the number of votes cast on the matter is over 50% of the votes entitled to be cast on the proposal. </FONT></P> <P

February&nbsp;27, 2009, the Company sold three CLO management contracts comprising substantially all of the Company&#146;s Emporia business line to an unrelated third party, Allied Capital (NYSE:ALD). The Company received net proceeds from this
sale, after the payment of certain expenses, of approximately $7.3 million.&nbsp;These proceeds were used to pay down the Company&#146;s existing senior debt outstanding.&nbsp;In addition, the Company is entitled to certain contingent payments based
on the amount of subordinated management fees received by Allied under the sold CLO management contracts in an amount not to exceed an additional $1.5 million.&nbsp;In addition to purchasing the management contracts, Allied Capital hired several of
the Company&#146;s employees who had serviced these contracts and the Company terminated the remainder.</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The sale of two of the three CLO
management contracts required AFN&#146;s consent as a majority equity holder in those CLOs.&nbsp;In addition, the sale of the CLO management contracts resulted in a default under a leveraged loan warehouse facility in which AFN has an
interest.&nbsp;As a result, the Company agreed to pay $3.0 million to AFN in order to compensate AFN for amounts that it would have otherwise received had the default not occurred under such financing facility.&nbsp;This payment is only required if
the merger is not completed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company expects to record an initial gain of $4.3 million in the consolidated statement of operations

Facility </I></B></FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On June&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company completed an amended and restated credit facility with TD Bank, (the &#147;2009
Credit Facility&#148;). The Company made an initial draw under the 2009 Credit Facility for $30 million and used this draw, combined with existing cash reserves to pay off the existing Bank Group Loan. The 2009 Credit Facility provides for available
borrowings of the lesser of the maximum revolving credit amount, which is initially $30 million, or a calculation which is based upon the present value certain of the Company&#146;s CDO management fees as well as a percentage of the estimated value
of certain other investments the Company has pledged as collateral. The 2009 Credit Facility matures on May&nbsp;31, 2011. The total maximum revolving credit amount under the 2009 Credit Facility is reduced by $1 million per month beginning on
November&nbsp;15, 2009 and by the amount of proceeds received as a result of asset sales involving collateral, sales of capital stock, or amounts received on account of the issuance of equity interests of Cohen or CFG. The 2009 Credit Facility bears
interest, at the Company&#146;s option at either: (a) one, two or three month LIBOR plus 6.5% or (b) a base rate (as defined in the loan agreement) plus 3.75% subject to an absolute minimum interest rate of 8.5%. The 2009 Credit Facility charges an
unused fee of 0.50% per annum payable quarterly based on the unused available funds under the facility. In addition, TD Bank charged an upfront fee of 3.00% and an exit fee at the first to occur of maturity, payment in full, or acceleration of 1.50%
of the initial available borrowing amount. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The effect of the 2009 Credit Facility and the related security and pledge agreements is
that the Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets and substantially all of its asset management agreements with the exception of certain of its investments that are currently classified as trading inventory assets
held in the Non-Guaranteeing Subsidiaries. However, the Company is limited in the amount of capital it can invest and have at any point in time, in these Non-Guaranteeing Subsidiaries. </FONT></P> <P

standard covenants and restrictions that, among other things, restrict the Company&#146;s ability to pay distributions to members in certain cases, to enter into a merger, to acquire another company, to take on additional debt, engage in asset
sales, and to enter into new leases or other commitments. However, the merger with AFN is specifically permitted under the 2009 Credit Facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">The 2009 Credit Facility imposes significant restrictions on the Company&#146;s ability to make distributions to its members. Prior to the merger with AFN, the Company will effectively be limited to paying distributions to its members in an
amount equal to the greater of (1) the preferred return to be paid to members who own Class A membership units as required under the Company&#146;s Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement and (2) the amount necessary for each
member to pay federal and state income taxes resulting solely from such member&#146;s allocated share of the Company&#146;s income (&#147;Tax Distributions&#148;). Subsequent to the merger, the Company will continue to be permitted to make Tax
Distributions to its members (including AFN). In addition, the Company will be allowed to make distributions to AFN for certain limited purposes, including distributions required so that AFN can make regularly scheduled payments on its subordinated
debt and convertible notes. These restrictions on distributions will limit the Company&#146;s ability to pay its members distributions in excess of required Tax Distributions and will preclude AFN from paying dividends to its shareholders.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2009 Credit Facility includes certain financial covenants such as (1)&nbsp;minimum net worth; (2)&nbsp;minimum consolidated cash flow
to fixed charge coverage ratio; (3)&nbsp;maximum funded debt to consolidated cash flow ratio; and (4) post-business combination, a requirement to maintain $15 million of cash available at all times. All relevant terms are defined in the credit
agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2009 Credit Facility contains a provision whereby there is an event of default if the business combination with AFN is
terminated by either party and 60 days have elapsed since such termination or, in any event, if the business combination is not completed by November 30, 2009. If the business combination is not completed within the required time frame, TD Bank has
the right to accelerate the maturity of the 2009 Credit Facility, thereby causing the 2009 Credit Facility to become payable in full. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

advisory services, and new issue securitizations. The Company&#146;s fixed income sales and trading group provides trade execution to corporate and institutional investors. The Company specializes in the following products: high grade corporate

the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;160,<I> Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;51</I> (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;160&#148;), which was issued in December
2007. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51, <I>Consolidated Financial Statements</I>, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It
also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements as opposed to mezzanine equity. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 also
changes the way the consolidated statement of operations is presented by requiring net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the
face of the consolidated statement of operations, of the amounts of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No.&nbsp;160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. For all
periods in which a consolidated balance sheet is presented, the Company reclassified all amounts, from the former &#147;minority interest&#148; caption, formerly displayed between total liabilities and members&#146; equity, to a new line item,
&#147;non-controlling interests,&#148; which is included in members&#146; equity. Additionally, in the statement of operations, the Company does not deduct any non-controlling interest in determining net income. Rather, the Company displays, below
net income on the face of the statement of operations, the portion of consolidated net income or loss that is attributable to the controlling and non-controlling interests. Other than the reclassification described above, the adoption of SFAS
No.&nbsp;160 did not have a material effect on the Company&#146;s financial condition or results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Business Combinations</U> </FONT></P>

in February 2008, to address situations where assets purchased from a particular counterparty and financed through a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty can be considered and accounted for as separate transactions. Under FSP FAS 140-3,
it is presumed that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase are considered part of the same arrangement, known as a linked transaction. However, if certain criteria are met, the initial transfer and repurchase financing may not be
evaluated as a linked transaction and must be evaluated separately under SFAS No.&nbsp;140. FSP FAS 140-3 became effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2008, and interim periods within those

hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of fair value focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the
liability between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). An exit price valuation will include margins for risk even if they are not observable. SFAS No.&nbsp;157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (&#147;Level 1, 2 and 3&#148;). The Company applied the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 prospectively to financial assets and financial liabilities that are required to be
measured at fair value under existing U.S. GAAP. Upon adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;157, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment of applying SFAS No.&nbsp;157 to the Company&#146;s opening members&#146; capital, as the Company already
had previously recorded its assets and its liabilities at fair value. See note 8 for additional information regarding SFAS No.&nbsp;157. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;157, the Company also adopted on January&nbsp;1, 2008 SFAS No.&nbsp;159. This standard provides companies the option of reporting certain instruments at fair value (with changes in fair
value recognized in the statement of operations) which were previously either carried at cost, not recognized on the financial statements, or carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as a component of equity rather than in the
statement of operations. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. SFAS No.&nbsp;159 provides entities with a one-time opportunity, upon initial adoption of this statement, to elect the fair value option for
existing eligible items. Upon such election, any differences between the beginning carrying amount of the selected item and its fair value as of the effective date would be included in the cumulative effect adjustment to beginning members&#146;
equity and all subsequent changes in fair value for the instrument would be reported in earnings. The Company elected to apply the fair value option to the following financial assets existing at the time of the adoption: </FONT></P> <P

is funded or when the related security is sold. Origination fees are recognized when the collateral assets are funded. In some cases, the Company will utilize third party professionals to assist in the provision of some of these functions (primarily
origination). In such cases, the Company records the cost of the third party services as a component of professional services and other operating expenses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Asset management</U>: Asset management revenue consists of CDO asset management fees, fees earned for management of the Company&#146;s permanent capital vehicles and investment funds, and other asset management
fees. CDO asset management fees are earned for providing ongoing asset management services to the trust. In general, the Company earns a senior asset management fee, a subordinated asset management fee, and an incentive asset management fee.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The senior asset management fee is generally senior to all the securities in the CDO capital structure and is recognized on a monthly
basis as services are performed. The senior asset management fee is generally paid on a quarterly basis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The subordinated asset management
fee is an additional payment for the same services but has a lower priority in the CDO cash flows. If the trust experiences a certain level of asset defaults, these fees may not be paid. There is no recovery by the trust of previously paid
subordinated asset management fees. It is the Company&#146;s policy to recognize these fees on a monthly basis as services are performed. The subordinated asset management fee is generally paid on a quarterly basis. However, if the Company
determines that the subordinated asset management fee will not be paid (which generally occurs on the quarterly payment date), the Company will stop recognizing additional subordinated asset management fees on that particular trust and will reverse
any subordinated asset management fees that are accrued and unpaid. The Company will begin accruing the subordinated asset management fee again if payment resumes and, in management&#146;s estimate, continued payment is reasonably assured. If
payment were to resume but the Company was unsure of continued payment, it would recognize the subordinated asset management fee as payments were received and would not accrue on a monthly basis. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The incentive management fee is an additional payment, made typically after five to seven years of the life of a CDO, which is based on the clearance of
an accumulated cash return on investment (&#147;Hurdle Return&#148;) received by the most junior CDO Securities holders. It is an incentive for the Company to perform in its role as asset manager by minimizing defaults and maximizing recoveries. The
incentive management fee is not ultimately determined or payable until the achievement of the Hurdle Return by the most junior CDO Securities holders. The Company does not recognize incentive fee revenue until the Hurdle Return is achieved and the
amount of the incentive management fee is determinable and payment is reasonably assured. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

2005 and to date, the Company has issued both restricted membership units (&#147;Restricted Units&#148;) and unit options (&#147;Options&#148;). Restricted Units include actual membership interests of the Company which may be subject to certain

determines the fair value of the Restricted Units or Options granted. From time to time, the Company has engaged an independent third-party appraiser to value its equity interests or used an internal valuation model. In the case of Restricted Units,
the Company will use the most recent valuation to ascertain the value of the units granted or vested, as the application of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R requires depending on the facts or circumstances. In the case of the Options, the Company will set the
strike price at the per unit value implied by the valuation used. The Options are valued based on that strike price and other assumptions using the Black-Scholes valuation method. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Once the fair value of the Restricted Units or Options granted is determined, the Company determines whether the grants qualify for liability or equity
treatment. The individual rights of the equity grants are the determining factors of the appropriate treatment (liability or equity). In general terms, if the Restricted Units or Options granted have certain features (like put or cash settlement
options) that give employees the right to redeem the grants for cash instead of equity of the Company, the grants will require liability treatment. Otherwise, equity treatment is generally appropriate. </FONT></P> <P

faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a
transferor&#146;s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. Specifically, SFAS No.&nbsp;166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion
of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor&#146;s interest in transferred financial assets. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of

SFAS No.&nbsp;167 also requires an enterprise to assess whether it has an implicit responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the
entity&#146;s economic performance. SFAS No.&nbsp;167 also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, requires enhanced disclosures and eliminates the scope exclusion for qualifying special-purpose

recapitalized Cohen membership units and (2) Daniel G. Cohen, who owns all of the Cohen Class C membership units, will be entitled to receive one share of AFN Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is referred
to herein as the Series A Share. The Series A share will have no economic rights but will entitle Mr. Cohen to elect at least one-third (but less than a majority) of AFN&#146;s board of directors. On or after June 30, 2010, Mr. Cohen may convert the
Series A share into AFN Series B Voting Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which will have no economic rights but will entitle Mr. Cohen to vote together with AFN&#146;s stockholders on all matters presented to its
stockholders and to exercise approximately 31.9% of the voting power of AFN&#146;s common stock (assuming all Cohen members except Mr. Cohen elect to receive AFN common stock in the business combination and there is no change in AFN&#146;s

(&#147;Tiptree Financial&#148;), acquired approximately 57% of the shares of MFCA. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On March&nbsp;18, 2009, the board of directors of MFCA
approved the assignment of the MFCA management contract between the Company and MFCA to an affiliated entity of Tiptree Financial, Tricadia Capital Management, LLC (&#147;Tricadia&#148;). The Company did not receive cash proceeds for this assignment
nor did it receive a termination fee from MFCA related to the termination of the management contract. The Company will receive a participation fee beginning on March&nbsp;18, 2012 and for the ten year period thereafter equal to 10% percent of the
revenue earned in excess of $1,000 annually by Tricadia for managing MFCA. The Company will recognize this fee as income in the consolidated statements of operations when the cash is received. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On March&nbsp;18, 2009, the Company and an affiliate of Tricadia, Tricadia Municipal Management, LLC (&#147;TMM&#148;) entered into a sub-advisory
agreement related to the management of the NPPF I STEP management contract.&nbsp;The Company continued to receive collateral management fees from NPPF I and served as it manager until April&nbsp;21, 2009 at which time the Company assigned the
management agreement to TMM following the Company&#146;s receipt of the necessary consents from the relevant parties to assign the agreement.&nbsp;Subsequent to March&nbsp;18, 2009 but prior to the assignment of the management agreement, the Company
agreed to pay TMM a sub advisory fee equal to 45% of the management fee revenue the Company received under this management contract.&nbsp;From March&nbsp;18, 2009 through April&nbsp;21, 2009, the Company recognized the sub advisory fees to be paid
to TMM as a direct reduction to the asset management revenue the Company received from NPPF I.&nbsp;Effective April&nbsp;22, 2009, TMM serves as the collateral manager and 55% of any management fees TMM receives from NPPF I are paid to the
Company.&nbsp;The Company recognizes this sub advisory fee as other income which is a component of principal transactions and other income in the consolidated statements of operations.&nbsp;The Company personnel that provided the services related to
this contract were terminated on March&nbsp;18, 2009 and hired by Tricadia. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>7. RECEIVABLES </B></FONT></P> <P

Securities. The Company generally believes that to the extent (1)&nbsp;it receives two quotations in a similar range from broker dealers knowledgeable about CDO Securities, and (2)&nbsp;the Company believes the broker dealers gather and utilize
observable market information such as new issue activity in the primary market, trading activity in the secondary market, credit spreads versus historical levels, bid-ask spreads, and price consensus among market participants and sources, then
classification as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy is appropriate. In the absence of two broker dealer market quotations, a single broker dealer market quotation may be used without corroboration of the quote in which case the Company generally
classifies the fair value within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. If quotations are unavailable, valuation models prepared by the Company&#146;s management are used. These models include estimates and the valuations derived from them could differ
materially from amounts realizable in an open market exchange. Fair values based on internal valuation models prepared by the Company&#146;s management are generally classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. </FONT></P> <P

broker dealer quotations to value these instruments. These quotes represent actual levels at which the broker /dealer or counterparty will enter into a transaction. The Company generally classifies the fair value of these instruments within Level 2
of the valuation hierarchy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Level 3 Assets as of June&nbsp;30, 2009:</U> Level 3 investments-trading include investments in securitized

2009, the liquidity and transparency surrounding structured credit products, such as CDO securities, continued to diminish. The absence of new issuance activity in the primary market has led to a continually decreasing level of transparency, as
seasoned secondary issuances can not be analyzed on a comparative basis relative to new issuances. In addition, diminished trading activity in the secondary market has also led the Company to believe that broker dealer quotations may not be based on
observable and reliable market information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Investments-trading</U>: During the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, transfers in to

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Interest Rate Swap</U>: One of the Company&#146;s former loan agreements required that the Company enter into a hedging agreement in a notional amount
equal to at least 50% of the outstanding balance of a former term loan (see note 12). The Company entered into an interest rate swap on October&nbsp;18, 2006. At that time, the notional amount of the swap equaled 50% of the outstanding balance of
the term loan (and it declined by 50% of each scheduled principal payment throughout the term of the former term loan). This requirement to hedge the Company&#146;s variable rate exposure was not included in the revolving credit facility entered
into in 2007 (see note 12); however, the Company left the existing swap in place. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The interest rate swap effectively locked three month
LIBOR into a fixed rate of 5.24% for the notional amount and the relevant period of time. The Company did not designate the interest rate swap as a hedged item for purposes of hedge accounting under SFAS No.&nbsp;133. Accordingly, the Company
carried the interest rate swap at fair value and included the gain or loss in the other non-operating income (expense) section of the consolidated statements of operations. The gain or loss included in this section includes two components:
(i)&nbsp;the unrealized gains or losses based on the Company&#146;s estimate of the fair value of the interest rate swap, and (ii)&nbsp;realized gains and losses which are the periodic payments made or receipts received by the Company. The Company
entered into an amended and restated credit facility on June&nbsp;1, 2009 and paid off the former senior debt and terminated the interest rate swap related to the debt. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company was not a party to any interest rate swap

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On June&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit facility with TD Bank (the &#147;2009 Credit Facility&#148;). The Company
made an initial draw under the 2009 Credit Facility for $29,950 and used this draw, combined with existing cash reserves to pay off the former revolving line of credit. The 2009 Credit Facility provides for available borrowings of the lesser of the
maximum revolving credit amount, which is initially $30,000&nbsp;or a calculation which is based upon the present value of certain of the Company&#146;s CDO management fees plus a percentage of the estimated value of certain other investments the
Company has pledged as collateral. The 2009 Credit Facility matures on May&nbsp;31, 2011. The total maximum revolving credit amount under the 2009 Credit Facility is $30,000 at inception and is reduced by $1 million per month beginning on
November&nbsp;15, 2009 and by the amount of proceeds received as a result of asset sales involving collateral, sales of capital stock, or amounts received on account of the issuance of equity interests of Cohen or CFG. The 2009 Credit Facility bears
interest, at the Company&#146;s option at either: (a)&nbsp;one, two or three month LIBOR plus 6.5% or (b)&nbsp;a base rate (as defined in the loan agreement) plus 3.75%, both subject to an absolute minimum interest rate of 8.5%. The 2009 Credit
Facility charges an unused fee of 0.50%&nbsp;per annum payable quarterly based on the unused available funds under the facility. In addition, TD Bank charged an upfront fee of 3.00% and an exit fee of 1.5% at the first to occur of maturity, payment
in full, or acceleration, both of the initial maximum revolving credit amount. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, $29,950 was drawn, $50 was committed for a letter of credit and there was no availability to borrow under the 2009 Credit Facility. </FONT></P>

guarantee the 2009 Credit Facility (&#147;the Non-Guaranteeing Subsidiaries&#148;). However, the Company is limited in the amount of capital it can invest and have at any point in time, in these Non-Guaranteeing Subsidiaries. </FONT></P> <P

and restrictions that, among other things, restrict the Company&#146;s ability to pay distributions to members in certain cases, to enter into a merger, to acquire another company, to take on additional debt, to engage in asset sales, and to enter
into new leases or other commitments. However, the merger with AFN is specifically permitted under the 2009 Credit Facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2009
Credit Facility imposes significant restrictions on the Company&#146;s ability to make distributions to its members. Prior to the merger with AFN, the Company will effectively be limited to paying distributions to its members in an amount equal to
the greater of (1)&nbsp;the preferred return to be paid to members who own Class&nbsp;A membership units as required under the Company&#146;s Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement and (2)&nbsp;the amount necessary for each
member to pay federal and state income taxes resulting solely from such member&#146;s allocated share of the Company&#146;s income (&#147;Tax Distributions&#148;). Subsequent to the merger, the Company will continue to be permitted to make Tax
Distributions to its members (including AFN). In addition, the Company will be allowed to make distributions to AFN for certain limited purposes, including distributions required so that AFN can make regularly scheduled payments on its subordinated
debt and convertible notes. These restrictions on distributions will limit the Company&#146;s ability to pay its members distributions in excess of required Tax Distributions and will preclude AFN from paying dividends to its shareholders.

within the required time frame, TD Bank has the right to accelerate the maturity of the 2009 Credit Facility, thereby causing the 2009 Credit Facility to become payable in full. </FONT></P> <P

loan in full and the Company may not be able to obtain alternative financing or raise additional capital from its equity investors.&nbsp;In such event, the lenders under the 2009 Credit Facility would be entitled to proceed against the collateral

options and had the option to choose the LIBOR duration. The Former Bank Group Loan provided for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of $20,000 or 10% of the available borrowing base. Outstanding letters of

its right: (i)&nbsp;to increase the interest rate on the Former Bank Group Loan by 2%; (ii)&nbsp;to cease making advances or issuing letters of credit; and (iii)&nbsp;to convert all outstanding advances under the Former Bank Group Loan to prime
based from LIBOR based after the expiration of the LIBOR periods outstanding at that time. It did not exercise any of its other remedies available to it upon the Event of Default, such as terminating the Former Bank Group Loan and demanding

the Estate of Sentinel Management Group, Inc. v. Delores E. Rodriguez, Barry C. Mohr, Jr., Jacques de Saint Phalle, Keefe, Bruyette&nbsp;&amp; Woods, Inc., and Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company Securities, LLC</I>. The plaintiff in this case is the
Liquidation Trustee for the Estate of Sentinel Management Group, Inc., (&#147;Sentinel&#148;), which filed a bankruptcy petition in August 2007. The Liquidation Trustee alleges that Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company Securities, LLC sold Sentinel securities,
mainly collateralized debt obligations, that the Liquidation Trustee contends were unsuitable for Sentinel and that the Company violated Section&nbsp;10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. The Liquidation Trustee also seeks relief under the
Illinois Blue Sky Law, the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, the United States Bankruptcy Code, and under common law theories of negligence and unjust enrichment. The Company is vigorously defending the claims. By order dated July&nbsp;8, 2009, the Court
dismissed the Liquidation Trustee&#146;s Illinois Consumer Fraud Act claim. On July&nbsp;29, 2009, the Liquidation Trustee amended his complaint. CCS filed its answer to the amended complaint on August&nbsp;12, 2009. No contingent liability was
recorded in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements related to this litigation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">CCS is also party to litigation commenced on

Bruyette&nbsp;&amp; Woods, Inc., Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company Securities, LLC., Delores E. Rodriguez, Barry C. Mohr, Jr., and Jacques de Saint Phalle</I>. The plaintiff in this case is the Liquidation Trustee of the Sentinel Liquidation Trust, which
emerged from the bankruptcy of Sentinel, filed in August 2007. The Liquidation Trustee, purportedly as the assignee of claims of Sentinel&#146;s customers, alleges that, by recommending that Sentinel purchase securities, mainly collateralized debt
obligations, that the Liquidation Trustee deems to have been unsuitable for Sentinel&#146;s customer accounts, CCS aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties purportedly owed by Sentinel and its head trader to Sentinel&#146;s customers, in
violation of Illinois common law. The complaint also alleges claims under common law theories of negligence and unjust enrichment. The Company will vigorously defend all claims. CCS filed a motion to dismiss the Liquidation Trustee&#146;s complaint
on July&nbsp;21, 2009. On July&nbsp;28, 2009, the Court dismissed a substantively identical case brought by the Liquidation Trustee against The Bank of New York Mellon Corp. No contingent liability was recorded in the Company&#146;s consolidated
financial statements related to this litigation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In a related development, CCS recently received a subpoena on May&nbsp;14, 2009 from the

prior to CFG&#146;s purchase of membership interests in the Company to a trust for the benefit of the holders of CFG&#146;s Class&nbsp;A common stock and will not be paid to the Cohen members until the failure to file the registrations statement is

CDO entered into a loan agreement whereby the NPPF I Trustor made an initial $3,000 advance to the NPPF I CDO so that additional funds would be available for the most junior CDO certificate holders in future distributions of CDO waterfall payments.
At each waterfall payment date, the advance will be repaid in full and the NPPF I Trustor will re-advance a scheduled amount to the CDO trust. The scheduled amounts will decrease by $300 on each distribution date through September&nbsp;15, 2012. The
advance will not bear interest. The Company is not a party to this agreement and is not obligated to provide reimbursement for any outstanding advances to NPPF I Trustor. As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, the outstanding advance between NPPF I Trustor and
Merrill Lynch Portfolio Management, Inc. was $2,100. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As an accommodation to NPPF I Trustor, the Company agreed to pay 6% simple interest

payment in full of all advances and December 2014. The Company accounts for the interest on the outstanding advances as a reduction to revenue since these interest payments are deemed a direct reduction of the Company&#146;s on-going revenue that
otherwise would have been earned for the duration of the trust. The reduction in revenue earned by the Company for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 and 2008 was $67 and $87, respectively, and for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 and
2008 was $34 and $41, respectively. The potential additional liability the Company would have, assuming the $2,100 advance (as of June&nbsp;30, 2009) to the NPPF I Trust remained outstanding through December 2014 would be approximately $694.

then C&amp;C shall pay to AFN the Break-up Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts specified to C&amp;C by AFN. For purposes of this Agreement, the term &#147;<U>Break-up Fee</U>&#148; shall mean $1,000,000 plus the other
parties&#146; fees and expenses actually incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement not to exceed $1,000,000; <I>provided however</I>, that the Break-up Fee shall mean $1,000,000 if the Takeover Proposal that results
in the action or event that forms the basis for such termination is submitted by an Excluded Party before the Go-Shop Period End Date and the right to terminate this Agreement arises, with respect to such Takeover Proposal, no later than five
(5)&nbsp;days following the Go-Shop Period End Date. For purposes of this Section&nbsp;7.3(b), references to &#147;15% or more&#148; in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to a &#147;majority.&#148; Any payment of
the Break-up Fee required by this Section&nbsp;7.3(b) shall be payable (1)&nbsp;in the case of termination of this Agreement by AFN under Section&nbsp;7.1(c)(i), concurrently with the effective date of such termination (i.e., following the five
business days waiting period), or (2)&nbsp;in any other case, within three business days after the date of termination. C&amp;C and AFN each acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section&nbsp;7.3(b) are an integral part of the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, C&amp;C and AFN would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if AFN or C&amp;C fails to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section&nbsp;7.3(b) when it is required
to be paid, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the failing party for the Break-up Fee, the failing party shall pay the other party&#146;s costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys&#146; fees) in connection with such suit, including any costs of collection, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the rate of 10%&nbsp;per annum from the date such Break-up Fee was required to be paid. </FONT></P> <P

to performance in a specified prior period or to the performance of other specified enterprises. In addition, the Compensation Committee may utilize as an additional performance measure (to the extent consistent with the Performance-Based
Compensation Rules) the attainment by a Participant of one or more personal objectives and/or goals that the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, implementation of Company policies, negotiation of significant
corporate transactions, development of long-term business goals or strategic plans for the Company, or the exercise of specific areas of managerial responsibility. The measurement of the Company&#146;s or a Participant&#146;s achievement of any of
such goals must be objectively determinable and shall be determined, to the extent applicable, according to generally accepted accounting principles as in existence on the date on which the Bonus Schedule for the Performance Period is established.
In all cases, the Compensation Committee shall establish the Bonus Schedule for each Performance Period no later than 90 days after the beginning of the Performance Period (or no later than the end of the first 25% of the Performance Period if the
Performance Period is less than a full year), and shall establish such Bonus Schedule in a manner that is consistent with the Performance-Based Compensation Rules. In the event a Bonus Schedule is not established for a Performance Period for a
Participant for whom a Bonus Schedule was in effect for the preceding Performance Period, the Bonus Schedule for such Participant for the preceding Performance Period shall be treated as the Bonus Schedule for such Participant for the current
Performance Period. For purposes of the limitations on payments set forth in Section&nbsp;6(c), below, a Performance-Based Bonus potentially payable with respect to a Performance Period shall be considered to be a Performance-Based Bonus payable
with respect to the calendar year within which such Performance Period ends. The use of a Performance Period that is less than a full year shall not require any reduction to the limitations on maximum permitted bonus payments under the Plan or
require that less than a Participant&#146;s full annual base salary be taken into account in determining bonuses payable or limits on payments. To the extent specified by the Compensation Committee in a Bonus Schedule or by other action taken by the
Compensation Committee at the time the Bonus Schedule for a Performance Period is established, the measurement of specified performance goals may be subject to adjustment to exclude items of gain, loss or expense that are determined to be
extraordinary or unusual in nature, infrequent in occurrence, related to a corporate transaction (including, without limitation, a disposition or acquisition) or related to a change in accounting principles, all as determined in accordance with
standards published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (or any predecessor or successor body) from time to time. In addition, equitable adjustments will be made to any performance goal related to Company stock (e.g., earnings per share) to
reflect changes in corporate capitalization, including, without limitation, stock splits and reorganizations. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:13%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(c) <U>Maximum

law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a)&nbsp;actual receipt of an
improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b)&nbsp;active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. AFN&#146;s charter contains a provision that eliminates the

maximum extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law (the &#147;MGCL&#148;), to indemnify any individual who is a present or former director of AFN or who, while a director of AFN and at its request, serves or has served another
corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, from and against any claim or liability to which that individual may become subject
or which that individual may incur by reason of his or her service in any of the foregoing capacities, and to pay or reimburse his or her reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. AFN&#146;s charter and bylaws permit the
company, with the approval of its board of directors, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse the expenses of any individual who served a predecessor of AFN in any of the capacities described above and any officer, employee or agent of AFN or a
predecessor of AFN, to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL. Accordingly, AFN has entered into indemnification agreements which provide for indemnification of its officers to the fullest extent allowed under Maryland law. AFN also maintains
director&#146;s and officer&#146;s insurance for the benefit of the company and the benefit of its officers and directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The MGCL

them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that: </FONT></P> <P

person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such

counsel to Cohen Brothers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (&#147;Cohen&#148;), in connection with the merger of a subsidiary of Alesco Financial Inc. (&#147;AFN&#148;) with and into Cohen (the &#147;Merger&#148;) as described in the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by AFN with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June&nbsp;2, 2009, as amended through the date hereof (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;). Prior to the Merger, each outstanding Cohen Class&nbsp;A
membership unit and Cohen Class B membership unit will be converted into 0.57372 new Cohen membership units, referred to in the Registration Statement as the recapitalized Cohen membership units (the &#147;Conversion&#148;). You have requested our
opinion concerning whether a Cohen member who receives recapitalized Cohen membership units in exchange for Cohen Class&nbsp;A Membership Units and Cohen Class B Membership Units pursuant to the Conversion should recognize any gain pursuant to such
exchange for federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In rendering our opinion, we have considered the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

and administrative interpretations are subject to change at any time and, in some circumstances, may have retroactive effect. A material change in the authorities upon which our opinion is based could affect the conclusions expressed herein. While
our opinion states our views concerning the issues addressed herein, the Internal Revenue Service and the courts may not agree with our conclusions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In
rendering our opinion, we have examined such documents as we have considered necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion, including the Registration Statement. Our opinion set forth below assumes (1)&nbsp;the accuracy of the statements and
facts concerning the Conversion set forth in the Registration Statement, and (2)&nbsp;the consummation of the Conversion in the manner contemplated by, and in accordance with the terms set forth in, the Registration Statement. </FONT></P>

Company Securities, LLC (&#147;CCS&#148;), is a party to litigation commenced in 2009 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the caption Frederick J. Grede, not individually, but as Liquidation Trustee and
Representative of the Estate of Sentinel Management Group, Inc. v. Delores E. Rodriguez, Barry C. Mohr, Jr., Jacques de Saint Phalle, Keefe, Bruyette&nbsp;&amp; Woods, Inc., and Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company Securities, LLC.&nbsp;The plaintiff in this
case is the Liquidation Trustee for the Estate of Sentinel Management Group, Inc., (&#147;Sentinel&#148;), which filed a bankruptcy petition in August 2007.&nbsp;The Liquidation Trustee alleges that CCS sold Sentinel securities, mainly
collateralized debt obligations, that the trustee contends were unsuitable for Sentinel and that CCS violated Section&nbsp;10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5.&nbsp;The complaint also seeks relief under the Illinois Blue Sky Law, the Illinois
Consumer Fraud Act, the United States Bankruptcy Code, and under common law theories of negligence and unjust enrichment.&nbsp;CCS is vigorously defending the claims.&nbsp;CCS filed a motion to dismiss the Sentinel Liquidation Trustee&#146;s
complaint on April&nbsp;1, 2009.&nbsp;The Trustee filed his response on April&nbsp;29, 2009, and CCS&#146; reply was filed on May&nbsp;20, 2009.&nbsp;Although CCS does not currently believe it is reasonably likely that an adverse judgment will be
rendered against it, such an adverse judgment could potentially have a Material Adverse Effect. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, CCS is party to litigation commenced on

Bruyette&nbsp;&amp; Woods, Inc., Cohen&nbsp;&amp; Company Securities, LLC</I>,<I> Delores E. Rodriguez, Barry C. Mohr, Jr., and Jacques de Saint Phalle.</I>&nbsp;The plaintiff in this case is the Liquidation Trustee of the Sentinel Liquidation
Trust, which emerged from the bankruptcy of Sentinel Management Group, Inc., filed in August 2007.&nbsp;The Liquidation Trustee, purportedly as the assignee of claims of Sentinel&#146;s customers, alleges that, by recommending that Sentinel purchase
securities, mainly collateralized debt obligations, that the trustee deems to have been unsuitable for Sentinel&#146;s customer accounts, CCS aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties purportedly owed by Sentinel and its head trader to
Sentinel&#146;s customers, in violation of Illinois common law.&nbsp;The complaint also alleges claims under common law theories of negligence and unjust enrichment.&nbsp;Cohen will vigorously defend all claims.&nbsp;A motion to dismiss the
Liquidation Trustee&#146;s complaint is currently due on July&nbsp;21, 2009.&nbsp;Although CCS does not currently believe it is reasonably likely that an adverse judgment will be rendered against it, such an adverse judgment could potentially have a

however, the AFN board of directors could choose to satisfy Cohen&#146;s redemption obligation by paying the redemption price in shares of AFN common stock, in which case the exchange ratio would be one-for-one, subject to adjustment in accordance
with the New Cohen LLC Agreement. If, following the business combination, Mr.&nbsp;Cohen were to cause his recapitalized Cohen membership units to be redeemed and AFN chose to satisfy such redemption with an equal number of shares of AFN common
stock, then, assuming Mr.&nbsp;Cohen is the only Cohen member who elects to remain a Cohen member at the time of the business combination and there is no change in the exchange ratio, Mr.&nbsp;Cohen would receive an amount of shares that is
equivalent to 31.9% of the then-issued and outstanding AFN common stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I><U>Interests of Board Members and Executive Officers in the Business

conflict of interest. The Company understands that the potential compensation payable to Stifel Nicolaus in connection with this transaction is not material to it and that any potential financial interest in one transaction would be significantly
outweighed by the potential liability and long-term reputational risk of giving an opinion not based on the merits to earn a fee. The special committee approved the fee arrangements with Stifel Nicolaus, and they are fully disclosed in the proxy

testing analysis performed on a monthly basis as well as an assessment of the fair value estimate based on Cohen&#146;s knowledge of the current market conditions. If a market quotation as provided by a broker dealer is deemed unreasonable, Cohen
will rely on other quotations or, in some instances, average remaining quotations. In the absence of what Cohen views as reliable market quotations, Cohen runs discounted cash flow models to estimate the fair value of CDO securities. Cohen&#146;s
risk management, finance and senior management teams are involved in the periodic reviews of the broker dealer quotations, to determine if these quotations appear reasonable given economic and market trends. Cohen frequently considers the broker
dealers that it obtains market quotations from, and how active the broker dealers remain in the relevant asset class markets as part of its fair value policies and procedures. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Intangible Assets (&#147;SFAS 142&#148;), the impairment test must be performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit (in this case Strategos) with its carrying amount (including goodwill). If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value,
impairment has occurred. In determining the fair value of the reporting unit, Cohen prepared a discounted cash flow model for Strategos. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

which resulted in the deferral of subordinated management fees Cohen was previously receiving. In other cases, the defaults rose to such a level that the most senior CDO security holders were permitted to declare an event of </FONT>

December&nbsp;31, 2008, the fair value of Strategos exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, no impairment existed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Strategos reporting

generates some principal investing segment revenue. At the time Cohen acquired the 10% portion of Strategos that Cohen did not already own, Strategos had not yet begun managing the Deep Value Funds and was not generating any revenue from principal
investing. The Strategos team raised capital for the Deep Value Funds during 2008 and 2009, and is currently attempting to expand that business line. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
